Contest Winner
Proven Fraud
By Newark Newspaper
Eddie Cantor Peace Contest Prize
Awarded To Plagia
rist
Admitting that his essay had been
written by a college president, Lloyd
Franklin, winner of the $5,000 prize
offered by Eddie Cantor for the best
essay on peace, contended that he did
not know that he was doing wrong.
Never having journeyed more than
50 miles from his home near Platts
burg, Mo. until a week ago, the young
man arrived in New York as Cantor's
guest to receive the award.
On being summoned to the office
of Benny Holzman, Cantor's Busi
ness manager and confronted with
"his" essay, he readily admitted that
the article had come from the De
cember issue of "Peace Digest" and
had been written by Dr. Frank King
don, president of the University of
Newark.
Franklin told such a simple, straight
forward story that the majority of the
pressmen believed him innocent. He
stated that he had not told anyone
where the essay came from-not even
his mother or teacher.
When asked whether he knew what
it was to plagiarized, the bewildered
boy shook his head.
Cantor announced that the money
would probably be awarded to the
second-best entry. Legal advice will
be sought before the matter will be
decided.
The plagiarism was discovered by
the Newark Evening News of New
ark, N. J.

(ty Committee
Result Of Last Issue
No Obscene Matter Will Be Al
lowed On Campus In Future
Publications
After 2:t years of publication, the
Yellow Sheet was permanently banned
by the faculty last week after a com
mittee had investigated certain ar
ticles published in the recent April
Fool issue.
Upon the recommendations of the
faculty, alumni, and other citizens,
it was also ruled that "any obscene
or objectionable matter in any stu
dent publication at the University
would call for innmediate suspension
or expulsion for all responsible par
ties."
A committee to further investigate
the matter was appointed by I'resi
dent Baker. The members of the
staff have not been called to appear
before the committee as was falsely
rumored.
"Under no form will the Yellow
Sheet or April Fool edition appear
again," said Registrar John A. Chase,
"nor will objectionable matter be per
mitted in The Gamecock."
It was the general conscence of
opinion among the faculty that this
particular issue did the University
more damage than it (lid good and
hat it was bad publicity for the school.
For this same reason the Carolinian,
the monthly publication, was stopped.
