An Apology

George Shipley wrote us a chiding letter
the other day which we printed, appending a
rather nasty editor's note to it in which we
implied that he was a liar. We were perhaps
too rough on this former President of the
University Union and we apologize to him for
the many false impressions we created by that
note.

Actually we are good friends with Mr.
Shipley, who is in many ways a remarkable
fellow. As an undergraduate at this
University, Mr. Shipley was always good
company and we belonged to many
organizations in which he was a leading
member.

At present he is teaching at the University
of Texas in Austin and is co-authoring a book
which will appear in January.

He was never a "liar" and we wish to clear
that up. We hope Mr. Shipley will remain our
friend and devoted reader.
