Show Gene Townsend Purge Pornography' Campaign May's issue of the "Christian Herald" (they call themselves the layman's magazine) says that the tidal wave of smut and filth sweeping America is equaled only by a growing counter 1 ; IllIIJ'l wave of revulsion and indignation. indig-nation. I "EVEN THE sophisticates and strong-stomached have just about had it." (Yeah, I get a weak stomach every time I read "Playboy.") SINCE UTAH State students stu-dents are currently shooting smoke-ring halos over the heads of their administrative banned, but I'm proud to say there are none. (WHY DOESN'T "Pen" ever print anything on the light side?) Magazines are one of the major carriers of pornography, but if writers didn't write it, readers wouldn't read it. AS A PERSONAL move against pornography, pornogra-phy, I intend to write some clean stories and submit them to some of the better publications. publica-tions.
