Item Description	Fred Christopherson writes on May 29, 1952 to R. F. Patterson, the dean of the University of South Dakota (USD) about Patterson's response to the Argus Leader's editorial concerning a panty raid on the USD campus. Patterson believed Christopherson condoned the panty raids and made light of the disciplinary board's decision to suspend fifteen students. However, Christopherson clarified that the intention was to illustrate "such escapades by students are nothing new under the sun" instead of "a sign of an increasing decadence and moral disintegration of our youth."
