Seton Hall Paper Banned by Prexy

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The President of Seton Hall University, a Catholic school in South Orange, N.J., refused yesterday to allow the undergraduate newspaper there to resume publication before April 2, despite the election of a new executive board earlier in the day.

Publication of the weekly was suspended Thursday by Bishop John J. Dougherty for "abuscs of the freedom of expression, and the unwholesome tone that has characterized many of the articles."

Dougherty is known to have objected to an anonymous column entitled "Marvin Moneywater" which ridiculed conservative political views. He also objected to editorial criticism of Catholic ritual and dogma and references to the Mass as "Theology Lab."

Jack McCarthy, president of the student body, led a mass meeting yesterday afternoon in the university's gymnasium. He endorsed the administration position and apologized for a student riot Thursday that had to be broken up with fire hoses from the South Orange Fire Department.
