Cornell Magazine Termed 'Obscene'

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Two editors and the faculty adviser of "The Writer," he Cornell University magazine, have been asked to appear tonight before a meeting of the Faculty Committee on Student Conduct on charges of "obscenity."

Several complaints had been filed against the magazine for the use of certain words in an article entitled "Indian Love Call," which appeared in the first issue of "The Writer." The Conduct Committee chairman, J. J. Wanderstock, refused to give the names of the complainants, although the Cornell newspaper reported that one of them was Deane W. Malott, President of Cornell.

Wanderstock also said the Faculty Committee on Student Activities will probably be called into the issue to investigate the possibility that "poor public relations" for the University were involved in the use of such an article associated with Cornell.

"Writer" editors, in defending the article, said they had met with several members of the Cornell faculty and that these men had "felt quite strongly that the story was not of an obscene nature."
