Roper Named New Crimson Editor
Succeeds Albright \ Discussing Editorial Policy . . .
Who Will Graduate
By JOHN 8TOKE8
Cecil Roper, associate editor of
the Howard Crimson, was appointed
by the student senate last Thurs¬
day to succeed Boyce Albright,
present editor, who will be grad¬
uated in March.
The duties confronting Roper, a
psychology major from Hayden.
Ala., will not be entirely new to
Elm. He came to Howard in June,
1946, served on the news staff of
the Crimson in 1946 and 47 and
was appointed associate editor at
the beginning of the fall quarter,
1947. He is a member of the Pi
Kappa Alpha fraternity, Alpha Pi
chapter and has served as vice
president of that organization.
Albright’s resignation becomes ef¬
fective March 17. 1948. He win
receive a bachelor of arts degree
with a major in history and political
science.
Roper, whose duties as editor will
begin March 22, 1948, stated, “I will
do my utmost to affect a policy
whiqh wiU reflect student demands
in newspaper coverage.”
All appointments for vacancies
necessitated by the change in edi¬
torship will be announced at the
beginning of the spring quarter.
.Ж
Often the spectators don’t know
what they are booing.”
Charles Gamble, junior, Besse¬
mer: “It’s according to the boo—
if a boo to register a different opin¬
ion, be quiet, no one cares about
your opinion. If a boo of pain, go
home and call the doc, ‘cause
you're hurting. If a boo of excess
emotional energy, then pull the
cork and let her rip. I can think
of no better place, no better time,
no better way unless it be under
water, you jughead.”
