The sender wrote to Neal regarding a letter he sent about the University of Richmond’s Board of Publications’ decision to not publish a survey about students’ sexual practices in The Collegian. "It was the opinion of the Board that: 1. It is not the function of The Collegian to create news. 2. The survey was improperly conducted. 3. The questionnaire was not properly formulated." The Board was made up of students, faculty, and alumni, and, according to the sender, it was students who first claimed that the survey should not be published due to its informality. The sender wrote that freedom of the press is important but "to enjoy this freedom [any publication] must exercise reasonable restraint"; it was the unanimous decision of the Board that The Collegian was not exercising this restraint and that "the results of the survey would constitute a disservice to the University."

Description An account of the resource This article, "University Publication's Board Censors Collegian Sex Survey," was published in The Collegian on May 17, 1968, by an unnamed author. The article referred to a decision by the University of Richmond Board of Publications to "censor The Collegian to prevent anticipated publication of a sex morality survey," which included questions about premarital sex and illegal drug use. According to Dr. William T. Muse, the president of University of Richmond Publications, Inc., the Board's vote was unanimous; the Board claimed that it is not The Collegian's purpose to create news, the survey was not conducted correctly, and the questions were not formulated properly. However, the survey data was collected from assemblies and class meetings and roughly 51% of the student population answered the survey. In addition, the morality survey questions were taken from a similar survey done at the College of William and Mary which had been published in their newspaper, the Flat Hat, and the questions were drafted with help from the college's sociology department.

Description An account of the resource This editorial, "Censored," was published in The Collegian on May 17 1968, by an unnamed author. It was written in reference to a decision made by the Board of Publications, the newspaper's publisher, to not allow The Collegian to publish a sex morality survey. Voicing The Collegian's opinion, the author wrote that they believed that two of the Board's reasons--that it is not The Collegian's purpose to create news and the questions were not formulated properly--were invalid, but agreed that they may not have conducted the survey correctly. The author questions the Board's reason for censoring The Collegian and addressed the concern that the survey could be harmful to the university; they wrote that it is important to "face life as it is" and not "bury our heads in the sand." Addressing the Board's concerns, the author wrote that the newspaper did not create the situations in the survey since illegal drug use and premarital sex existed on the campus and elsewhere for many years, and claimed that their audience may be interested in their findings; in addition, the questions were taken from the College of William and Mary's survey, which was created with the sociology department's help. In regards to the concern that the survey was not conducted correctly, the author claimed that they would have prefaced the article with the survey's shortcomings and that the Board should have consulted the newspaper before making its decision. The author hoped that "the precedent of censorship in this instance will never be used again."

It starts with an anecdote from Baylor University, a similar liberal arts school like the University of Richmond, regarding their administration's cracking down on editors, resulting in multiple firings and revocation of scholarships. The article mentions an issue from 1978 with former professor Dr. Robert S. Alley, whose comments "about Jesus...brought down the wrath of a few local Baptist heavyweights." The article also notes that the university receives $300,000 a year from the Virginia Baptists, which keeps beer ads out of the Collegian. The past fall, the Board of Trustees' Student Affairs Committee voted down "guidelines" for the publication. The writer then explains that while UR's administration has allowed them a large measure of freedom, but there are "cute little veiled threats" that writers must still contend with.
