Louisiana Buss Fuss

A Louisiana State University student comic miscellany (the Whangdoodle) printed a story of a fictitious visit by a Baton Rouge telegrapher to a professor's wife while the professor was away. Its undergraduate author was promptly expelled. The governor asked the university's president to reinstate him. The president refused. Soon the university had anew president.

Such was freedom of the college press in Louisiana under the late Huey Pierce Long. (The new president he installed, Dr. James Monroe Smith, is now in the sixth year of an 8-to-24 year sentence to the state penitentiary for embezzlement.) Last week another L.S.U. controversy raged over the issue of campus kissing. Tall, leonine President William Bass ("William the Conqueror") Hatcher had frowned on good-night kisses. Pretty Sophomore Gloria Jeanne Heller, 18, issued a rebellious manifesto. "We are meant and taught to be robots," she declared. She was promptly expelled. Fellow students vainly clamored protest. Remarked an alumnus, mindful also of L.S.U.'s slipping cultural standards: "It looks like the old school is headed for cow-college status."
