School Accepted Students Expelled from LSU

Dean Frank L. Martin allowed six journalism students expelled from Louisiana State University to enroll at the School of Journalism. The students were expelled for refusing to allow Sen. Huey Long to censor their newspaper because of a letter to the editor that was critical of Long.

The former LSU students were (top, from left) David R. McGuire Jr., Sam Montague, Cal Abraham, Stanley Shlosman, Carl Corbin and Jesse H. Cutrer. Student President Don Thurman (far right) welcomed them. A captioned photo from the Jan. 24, 1935, Columbia Missourian (bottom) also featured the students.
