Located TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 2000 www.sklff.tcu.adu PAGE 3 editorial PRESS POWER Student journalists deserve freedom In the Sept. 9 issue of 771C University Daily — Texas Tech University's student-run newspaper— members of the editori- al board condemned a U.S. Court of Appeals for upholding a decision that allowed administrators at Kentucky State University to confiscate 2,000 yearbooks after citing "poor quality" and a purple cover. Instead of covering campus or local news that day, the edi- tors ran the word "censored" in tiny print over every page of the paper. The only pieces to run in that day's paper were an Associated Press story outlining the details of the case, a staff editorial explaining the motivations behind the editors' deci- sion and advertisements. Now, the chairman of Tech's School of Mass Communications has sent a proposal to an upper-level admin- istrator, calling for the student-editor concept to be eliminated and for the paper to be run like a laboratory experience, with NEU UOfift m TOtttt John Araup/SKIFF STAFF the "non-student staff' editor deciding what will or will not run in the paper. Such a proposal may not seem like such a serious affront to many of you, but consider this: nursing majors not allowed to work in hospitals with "real-life" patients; education majors Use good fortune to help others prohibited from stepping foot in "real-life" classrooms; or radio-TV-film majors banned from airing their own "real-life" shows.
