The Death of Liberty?

Of course free speech is important, but clean hallways are nice, too. The majority employs an arsenal of editorial hyperbole--"travesty" and "censor-ship"--but completely ignores any chance for reasonable compromise. The house masters' decision is not an assault on the Bill of Rights. It is only a shortsighted effort to keep things tidy. Student publications, solicited or not, certainly deserve to be read by students, yet central bins or baskets might prove to be viable alternatives. In any event, the Masters are justified in wanting cleaner hallways. Unfortunately, the Crimson has adopted a knee-jerk position in a zealous rush to stake the moral high ground.
