should bona fide, card-carry Communists be allowed to
speak before student groups?
There doesn't seem to be any doubt that they should be
allowed TO, IN an increasing number of American educational
institutions. Last year the Communist lecture bureau in this
country had some 20 or so invitations to speak on various col
lege campuses. This year they are already in the process of
wedding out from some 100 invitations.
The p~edagogues of higher learning apparently are clinging
TO the belief that students can better be taught in the field
OF political science if they can hear the various ideologies from
the horses mouths" and can be better directed when such
exotic opinions are given constructive criticism on the spot.
1t does seem to be one of the new wrinkles in today's educa-
tional trends.
Communist National Secretary Ben Davis drew 5000 stu
dents for a speech at the University of Minnesota. Davis was
Jeered by some; but one wonders how many of the leftist
wheels ne set to turning in the plastic minds of others.
Last spring a president of one of our larger universities
on the west coast refused permission to a known communist
to speak in one of the halls. With this move we agree. Let
them hire a hall if they choose, but we don't believe it's nee
essary to have them use the facilities of a tax supported insti-
tuition.
Professors are a breed of their own who like to weigh
both sides of a question. Dealing with communists, however,
IS like experimenting with aqua regia acid in a chemistry lab
- if you aren't very careful, you can get a nasty burn.

Up And Down
Main Street
BY Cliff Urseth

If you've got a copy of last weeks issue of Life around
you might turn to page II where you'll see a picture OF a
horse that's going to appear at the Sidney Far and Rodeo
beginning Monday.
The picture resembles something that should nave been
in the glue factory some time ago. The story, on the other
hand, quickly changes this first impression. His name out
side the arena = Dexter sounds like something from My
Friend Flicka," but this changes to Trails End" the minute
the chute door is opened.
The story says he's been ridden successfully only IA times
in the last five years. So, chances are you'll have a chance to
see some unfortunate cowboy put into orbit when Dexter,
alias Trails End, makes his appearance in Sidney.

1t seems that heart attacks aren't uncommon among
