Divinity School tension continued this week as the editor of the Scribe, student newspaper, refused to leave his post after being fired by the president of the Student Association.

J. Frank Schulman 2Dv, president, asked Dudley W. Wiegand 2Dv, editor and founder of the paper, to resign last Friday and demanded that he return the balance of the newspaper fund to the Association.

But Wiegand and a group of supporters have protested that he was elected for the year and cannot be ousted now. Schulman stated last night, "I refuse to force the issue. He may, as far as I'm concerned, remain as editor for the remaining issue this term. But I shall submit another name for election in the fall." Wiegand has stated plans to continue in the job next year.

Seeks Board of Editors

Schulman called Wiegand "incompetent." He said Wiegand has refused to let any other students cooperate on the paper with him. "We would like to set up a board of editors," Schulman said. "We think we could prepare a printed paper much more representative of the school and for the same price that Wiegand is putting out a poor mimeographed one." Many students have complained because Wiegand is able to set policy by himself which is, to the outsider, representative of the Association's policy.

Schulman commented he would probably submit the name of John C. Agnew 1Dv next fall as the new head of the paper.

Anti-Piety Group Supports Wiegand

Schulman denied that the firing has anything to do with the recent "piety" controversy. He noted, however, that the same people who voted to prohibit religious ceremonies in Association meetings are now supporting Wiegand. "They are using him as a 'scape-goat' to hinder my administration," he said. He said his opponents had a "sour grapes" attitude toward his election. Schulman, a "dark horse" candidate, won the presidency of the association by one vote.

Student Changes to Yale

Wayne A. Clark 1Dv, a member of the Publicity Committee appointed by Schulman, plans to change to Yale Divinity School next fall. Several members of the Association speculated that Clark may have been induced to change his school because of the recent disturbances here.

Schulman predicted that his executive committee will support him in spite of any stand which Wiegand may take.
