ANOTHER ACTION

Whether or not one agrees with Judge Stone's decision in the recent "riot" ease, President Lowell's demand for the resignation of the four policemen whom he cites as having acted with "unnecessary brutality" will be welcomed as a logical sequence in the interests of justice. Heretofore only one of the two parties involved has been brought into formal inquiry; now the other side will be subjected to investigation.

This action on the part of Mr. Lowell is concrete evidence that the University refuses to adopt a purely defensive attitude and thereby shoulder the entire burden of guilt. The request demonstrates a relentless vigilance and a plea for impartiality; its sincerity is unquestionable and its motivation praiseworthy.
