lamented McCarthy and sent his private investigators into the University. The committee filed an 1800 page report, said to involve about 105 faculty members and other employees of the University and about 500 students. I think these figures rather high.
A number of students resigned. There were rumors that some committed suicide. About 15 faculty members and employees were discharged. The methods used by the investigators were little short of those used during the World War II reign of terror in Germany.
It is a sordid tale centering around one man's political ambition and another's personal weakness. The students were the only group that rose to the situation in a commendable and civilized manner. The student paper "The Alligator" has done a good job. "The Gainesville Sun" on the other hand made matters as bad as possible.

I look forward to ONE each month and
occasionally find something really beautiful in its pages, such as stories by Emily Jones and J. Lorna Strayer. A few years back you had a wonderful writer by the name of Marlin Prentiss. Bring her back sometimes to grace your pages. She has talent. Miss G.
Dear friends:

I am not at one with reader V. in her classification of child molestation. National consent alone can justify sexual indulgence, and although, surely, no human rationality ever attains an unassailable eminence, nonetheless the insight of most (physical) adults into matter of this nature better equips them to enter into relationships with others on a sexual level than that of most young children can permit. Does Miss V. suppose that puberty is of no significance in human development?
The Toward Understanding column of Dr. Baker is most praiseworthy.
