The current controversy between the newspaper, "The Daily Texan," and the University of Texas Board of Regents goes much deeper than one might believe. The controversy transcends the locale. It represents a typical intrusion of state politics into education. It underscores the coercion exercised by economic interests whose endeavors to mold conformity and stifle dissent are rather prominent in the U.S. today. And it calls attention to one of the less noble of the American traditions: the tradition of a kept college press, badgered by state legislatures, college administrators and students themselves, and all but ignored by professional journalism.
