Colonel Williams' Order Aimed At All College Publications

Colonel Williams officially ruled yesterday that no member of the S. A. T. C. will be allowed to be connected in any way with college publications, and that the military authorities will, under no conditions, give college papers official recognition. He states that to allow members of the S. A. T. C. to contribute to college publications would require a censorship of those publications by the military authorities, a censorship which is out of the question in view of the pressing duties of these officers. "Moreover," he stated, "allowing members of the S. A. T. C. to write for college papers would necessarily mean that their military work would suffer."

This ruling will prevent the further publication of the CRIMSON under its present Board. If possible, however, plans will be made to continue publication under the conditions imposed by Colonel Williams's order. The Illustrated will discontinue publication, while the Lampoon and Advocate plan to continue under graduate editors.
