Crisis on Campus; 1

the programme normally scheduled at this time not be seen in order that we may bring you the following special broadcast spain activism annoying to say it will not stop wasn't until it's hard to stop as long as the war in indochina continues with no end in sight as long as there's a black brown red people as long as women are denied equal opportunity as long as a design problem working men and women are by perhaps as long as there are already in this country as long as the united states continues on a collision happens environment status of young people will continue to make an oil deal is major change we will continue to make quite a role in a kind of a little for the menaces of power and influence in this country that i can promise you into your reasons

prices are the same the highlights of today's hearings of the president's commission on campus unrest now and at correspondent david crow in the fall of nineteen sixty nine almost seven million students were attending a psalm twenty three hundred colleges and universities in the united states nearly a quarter of these schools and estimated five hundred and twenty three were hit by at least one incident of violence or disruptive protest during the academic year protests that culminated in the tragic deaths of sick students at kent state university in ohio and jackson state college in mississippi a month after the fatal shootings the president named a special body to investigate the causes and possible cures of the escalating violence on the campus today that group the president's commission on campus unrest began its first set of public hearings in washington they opened with a statement by the commission chairman former pennsylvania governor william scott composed a very distinguished

citizens with excellent reports have studied abroad problems of disorder and violence in our country and it may be very valuable recommendations this commission has a far more specific mandate in these special an important area and we intend to come up with specific recommendations and deliver them before the opening of the time for coming school year eating the timetable it has been set by the president with reference to his specific desire and we intend to finish this passed before the beginning of the next school term shortly after the hearings began the commission's possible effect of this was challenged by a national student association president charles palmer the frustration and disappointment on our campuses cannot be ignored this fall's was last year at this time the

method used last year was to push the quiet your theory it ministration another officials continually told us campuses would not erupt and we're not interrupting his favorite garbo was happening on campuses as important was an attempt to see of a problem would always think more along a quiet year the credibility of press reports carried fewer accounts of student unrest there was a bootstrap operation scarcity of records of campus unrest was due primarily to the reluctance of the press report anything after administration attacks for drawing attention to this content on campuses the theory cannot be maintained as the year war on her audience reasons i think that many stems suspected quite military may have been replaced with the commission plan to see this commission as a possible vehicle for change believe your recommendations will only superficially follow peanut to report will join the kerner and i and our mission statement on some dust

the commission on campus unrest is made up of the chairman or eight members in many ways it's a unique group in the first place there not only familiar faces are usually set of presidential commissions is wrong when people even governors spend a familiar face in the political world has been associated with this type of inquiry the group is composed of four blacks and five whites eight men and one woman the occupational mixes to law enforcement officials one lawyer one newspaper editor for university presidents and one reason school graduate understand introduced in this morning to the audience sitting on my screen writers are one we all know is the editor of the christian science monitor and the next is dr jean who is the president of howard university and the next is general davis who is the director of public safety in cleveland and the next doctor who is presently here with the urban institute but her normal job is as a professor at boston college

and on my director it is mr archie cousy just past president of the bar association and the next is joe would punch in joe rhodes who is a very distinguished person as all of you know he has then the undergraduate president at cal tech and is now a fellow at harvard university author jim nice to see you in the morning and that just walk in is she for her new is the chief of the police department in new haven in a controversial preliminary report released earlier this month fbi director of rivers said that a total of seventeen hundred and eighty five demonstrations took place on college campuses less clear four hundred and sixty two injuries were reported during these protests students police college officials the report also cited a marked increase in

property damage and arrests and the fact that even doused in committees have been formed under us college campuses to spend the summer planning further action for becoming full term this activity aimed at political support for non administration candidates no type of school has proven unwilling to demonstrations violent or otherwise and then that and you know and you know now we know that it can all get a botanist university where that that probably would've everywhere they don't that happen they're going to have trouble for most of that repeating in one way or another the demand for more freedom less discrimination in all of its training towards a confrontation first with university officials run the plates the tensions had spread to orangeburg south carolina state university where controversy over discrimination and bowling alley was enough

three people were dead and at columbia university in new york was fierce fashion preseason building officials then he got indians held for more than twenty four hours in office president recent protest march this time because the protesters in theory and research projects devoted to discrimination and buildings winston hampshire can at least find that linda some of the largest of those dramatic incidents in the strictest to date supporters of a hard line against the revolt felt they had a strong backer of the president's side i fell held on through bloody tuesday december fourth nineteen sixty eight when more than thirty people were arrested in a dozen and four hundred and fifty police about austin's to numerous militias again because of demand for establishment ethnic studies more minority group instructor is more minority groups it's two weeks of violence in san francisco and led by students for a democratic society

the likes of san francisco and berkeley still having trouble names were added to the list of campuses and chaos duke workers underground ice work more but cornell something new for student demonstrators was on guns rifles of the hands of black students protesting a cross burning in front of a negro ago and residents and demanding amnesty for three black demonstrators arrested in less than a month after cornell cc and what city college of new york literally came under fire the fire of mysterious origin broke out and suddenly all burning it to the ground black and puerto rican students have demanded minority enrollment increased but the mood was changing the hatred of the war in vietnam and colored most recent demonstrations taken over this discussion of how fast becoming the number one issue in the area of campus unrest at kent state university in ohio may fourth this year saw a national guard and marching on students' levels low in

a sense interrupted that the final point of violence and for students protesting our intervention in cambodia feldman of the gunfire then within days at jackson state college in mississippi another shock of this time two black youths were shot and killed by police during a night of violence outside a woman starved right the police said they had shot only after being attacked by sniper fire from an open window how the violence started was not clear that spending made clear than ever the seriousness and the depth of our division and to send the portend for the future was obvious the testimony today started out with leaders of the senate taking part senate majority whip edward kennedy and senate minority leader you scott in a statement senator scott called for an end to volatile rhetoric from both students and the establishment called for a strong statement from an administration spokesman on the campus problem and noted the dissent was not a new phenomenon on the campus that

had he said and around even when he was in school all those non violent that we're going on to say the communication with distances vital and that they must be listened to the educational system they do need more participation sad part of it is that if you create a new form of student senate austin battling cooperation to set sail and after they get a day out and i see you know some of these means of cooperation has been a couple of votes that they are a fig and generates play that stands don't like to work within the committee says because when they go to the committee's unless they are angry and anger and contentious they are going to be a tall this is a fear that their elders are going to listen to it's

also fear that they are not yet quite competent enough to engage in the reasoning process that with their elders a fear that they will be overcome by a sophisticated scientists we meet monica in philosophy of the golf courses right always though it should be open to them where they can participate before they are really ready to control if in fact what we've seen happening on the campuses know last year and the gradual growth of a massive steam movement the polls indicate the law is there and active and radical minority outspoken and more house majority of students are opposed the administration's policies or do you think given the cambodian invasion and the president's war powers more policies that any activities in indochina all

worth the dissolution of our society the syndicated by the events of this plane and two of our knowledge indicated will continue to fall its workers close to a restaurant so i have to respectfully challenge the premise is there because a i do not really have that the values in our society are i believe this got that i do not believe they are you aren't going to be defeated by warren indochina i do say the warning that china is immoral in the same sense in which virtually all wars are immoral that is unpopular than it should be terminated as fast as possible but i think it is more fashionable than reasonable to argue that the

cause this summer about discontent is really is directly related so it's a lot and it was wildly wireless frames it said it all one wonders why wasn't set off to whether time will war was growing over time the war's lessons in wyoming good for this country and to four years ago obviously at this point obviously a deterrence and italians the things that need to be done in this country but i do not really have a weekend and i'm audi else to this particular unfortunate situation you think the national administration can make towards alleviating some of the concerns that students

for the confirmation of a concern now that tension of listening and then the invitation for white designation as you may know ayers is not universally popular the set up at the white house today there are probably more members of the refined society than of any other organization and well i am centrists myself i thought that for them to the end and in our martin says of the far right for example the white house hours if you're going around is really happened less attractive thinking young men and women we could have more of that in all the government an ocean on elders would do well to listen more

to the i think the president's action and naming this commission and recognizing people of different backgrounds different ages is is indicative of their concern you can never really listened enough incentive they ought to be more of it and then like all administrations as a lack of follow through and the president is common in at one time on a wagon all and then nothing happens shows red faces no unusual it is almost two and very frequently nothing happened sometimes it's true elite is it was just an accommodation and of mahler is not really happens but it is in the valley of the system this is about the relationship of legislation to this crop

would you tell us your views about pending legislation in the legislative polls what you think the congress to do to help relieve that situation obviously no repressive legislation obviously know some sure legislation designed to control people's behavior and they're the favorite but beyond that i think we in this country expect too much about loss and sometimes too little of the people who are responsible for managing and although idea i would not have specific legislative suggestions to my i would think that we ought to leave the solution of these problems as far as we can to the college's referring now listed on earth to

ecologists to happen is it to have a community relations i think that the administration can help while supporting continued research into imbalances in education to discrimination in education through support of the educated process as we're doing an education bill and in forums we may be in a good way why would the legislation for say touching on student unrest would be a to commission may come fall most of the witnesses were more

able to detail causes of campus unrest and to suggest years the things that kept running through the hearing are those of d and responsiveness of the congress to young people in general malaise in the country a lack of communication between the establishment institutions and students and of course vietnam this was a one picked up by senator edward kennedy is the primaries and for the increasing unease a distance first most important point is that we cannot treat the problem of campus unrest in isolation voice from its central relation to the war in southeast asia it is no coincidence that the agent campus unrest coincides almost precisely the escalation of american involvement in vietnam it is no coincidence that the killings against a came on the heels of our invasion of cambodia years this commission not to back away from its own confrontation with the issue of the war now says the campus unrest cannot work so late at the actual students as disruptive and wallace now says cannot

admit yet men cannot ignore the central fact the pressure the war's wrote in the face of all of our citizens and especially our young the ability of our government institutions do the things that must be done i don't think any sane person questions the relationship of the war in southeast asia to that problem what would you think a lot of what the situation would be on american campuses today there had been no war in southeast asia i think that the un and the you know the principal point is try to make him the first observational newton in the testimonies not so much that the iraq war was undertaken as unfortunate tragic as it was about that leaf and i'm able

to work successfully concluded i think this is more reasons are for despair i'm sure they're they're there with a and even if it had not to me and involved in southeast asia i'm sure i'm in terms of the restlessness of of this generation in terms of many of the problems that we face of would be a cuban aunt and severe i don't think it would have been as nearly and as intense as economy is because i mean i do feel strongly that the failure to successfully conclude the war is the overarching overwhelming concern for the young and perhaps this week did not and were not involved and now we would be a better able and better equipped certainly would be able to have

significant important terms of resources to the nato summit will be an overwhelming an overriding concern says i think the younger generation and all americans are concerned about in terms of the healing be the misunderstandings between the races reading the promise of the city's tending to the elderly and the other social problems which are sold in this country today while he's stressed his understanding of the students disillusionment over the war senator kennedy also said he could not condone campus violence and protest the second point i would like to mate is that although the war may explain the president's feared campus unrest you cannot condone violence in various confrontation that have become hallmarks committee campus demonstrations no amount of deep concern or commitment to of course can possibly justify the wanton acts we've seen on campuses

across the country in recent weeks spring alone professors have been violently assaulted connecticut their home vandalized at wisconsin manuscripts of their life works destroyed and stanford are otc buildings and burned to the ground and stayed far beyond penn state many campuses the very functioning of the university of maine possible by senseless acts and threats of violence we know that some societies in institutions can be closed or can be so close and so repressive that change can ever come except by the use of force this is not the case with the universities of america in nineteen seventy though mountain patients for foster change your frustration with existing policy and possibly justify the cruel violence and brutality we've seen on campuses in recent years violence cannot be good no i must be contained there is no need no need whatever or anyone resort possible break or the bomb

and today many of the point you raised under one particularly in that was the role of the university which is well now as a matter of basic contention at the moment and you refer to the fact that there should be a revision of priorities in the greater interest there in the social problems of our day i do we do this weird or without parliament those the university which as you know some students think we should do have a politicized university and yet most of the administrators are very much host of this even those that you command for their present activities in understanding human problems well i mean this is a speedy really at a point in the year the question is being asked to pass the state commission minutes are

obviously empty yeah nineteen twenties which were we're facing that today i thought it had income coming from a state that has a number of the great universities been struck by the fact that until relatively recently they almost uniformly abdicated any kind of responsibility or involvement in the local community i think i think this is this is a considerable concern to do young people when they live in today end b a dormitory sermon on the beautiful campuses such as stanford university and they see the extraordinary kinds of that despair and poverty that exists in the community surrounding it really wonder whether they're or university of their education how relevant it is to the current kind of problems and that i was struck by talking to some of the students from stamford became told me

that a number of them much more want to live outside of that obviously the campus itself because they thought that this was such an artificial and he felt strongly that universities should become much more kind of involved in their activities and social problems of the communities now i think this can take a variety of different expressions you can take the year active participation in in community proms which they're located in a can take an expression of involvement on national brands many of the academic teachers and professionals of mit been extremely active in an arrested in and providing information to senate commerce the whole question of atm nerves have been very interested in all this closely but i think that the yen great it was a great sense of frustration is the fact that the interested in the prompts

on their interests like move through part of the mit campus that they really until the inner belt was coming from the campus they were really unrest in the promise of housing in cambridge and don't you think we can then it really are thinking that we could get the college's new research could do more about the communities in which they live and social activist erin and i think a lot of them are beginning to do this but to somehow or other we got to be able to draw an ambience didn't having this in the curricular more so than his present the case but somehow they got the they got the ever gone so this doesn't make them political weapons speed limit in our institutional establishment although some students disagree with that it's you know i think it should be if politicizing the university is a matter of concern for government figures it's a fact of life in many of the students involved charles palmer is currently president of the national student association which represents more than five hundred student governments

across the country his basic thing is that the scent political another was is not only a rite of the student but in a sense his duty the university is not just an institution of learning but also has an ethical responsibility to provide growth dissidents in the process of living and making a difference since then becomes a part of the learning process and a political weapon to be used with care but to be used in direct issue a clear violation of the nation ministration of years to mate but the problem again it'll be solid provision for or an expression of dissent and that in essence to control while this is a misunderstanding the official leak the problems of the university are caused by nothing more than the failure to undertake to set properly this preoccupation with the pursuit of robert channel the exclusion of any consideration for the sultanate merits of the proposal do you realize this this commission is to make any useful recommendations

and most impressive self confidence at disruption and not waste his time with a superficial treatments and specific issue of the president's use of the phrase is orderly expression mr collins there is he's not listening school administrators and government officials generally defined what is ordering the orderly means pursuit of climate nonresponsive channels channels which are of course established by administrators and faculty mr delay for them orderly mean something that makes no way to know for something to be ignored orderly has rightfully becoming cold war among students at least the sentiment that is by definition a failure but i was also struck by the amount of attention given your statement to the conditions in the universities

themselves which you think contribute arms of the phenomenon that we are discussing and our i certainly concur with you in that although a great deal of the way it used to be placed at the feet of the university itself my question to you is although you devote some winds to the general condition of the country as lionel our own do you think the students concerned about national priorities in the quality of american life are contributors to what we are attempting to assess what i tried to say in the early part of my statement was that those are because that's what motivates students to

action wasn't for that is that the society in general was so thank you laurie for everyone i don't think that that there'd been that most of us would be involved in the kind of the awe movement that we are now i think that what was one of the things that one is i address my state what i did was that i really don't think that this commission has the power to change the war in vietnam war that it will or that it will have the power to two to create equal opportunity for everyone in this country or that will have the power to to want to change the way which we approach our environment and try to address the things that though that that that people think are important things i think are important in and were idea talk about you know the things the highest priority items now obviously have to talk about the war about the repression of love love love certain know people in this country black people and in chicano people in and things like that

as high priorities for me and that's what motivates that's what if i were speaking to the president about how you should stop student unrest against against really was directed mostly against the government official nothing much more than a business university admissions for vets we're trying to get at no obviously i would say hey you want to see students go home you want to work on the two were doing you can't just address yourself procedures you can't just address yourself to a lot due process an orderly dissent news kansas things because you have one of the reasons that we go beyond the law sometimes is a word nor it's the reason that people have traditionally been involved in civil disobedience in this country and around the world is that it is impossible to normal channels to make to have influence in and that that's why you know we we've become an appalling or five hundred thousand people came to washington to protest the war but there was many people that were in new

haven the protests this is the situation that they're not all those kinds of things i mean i think that's that's our modeling his country back together and so it's trying to rid of those kinds of issues that that that that are dividing us my last question is the us my skepticism and my surprise the cambodian invasion unexpected same sense i guess and being concerned about all the talk in the media and by the ms tricia about the middle east what you think would be the impact on the student community every word of rapidly escalate our military involvement there i think that i don't think his and threatening worse slump observation because in some ways i don't think it may be the most effective way

of opposing what opposing a an action but i think just as in cambodia where the strait sort of middle america college students reacted with their guts and i really something again on the boomers than the most the strongest the hardest most schools in some ways more potentially violent reaction here in cambodia prices came from the straight kids who had never been involved in political activity before they were the ones that felt most betrayed they were the ones that felt that that they had been let down on houses and they were the people moved action like those people and more will move to action this time that people will begin to say that just is there is just no way we can we can believe what people saying an actor and that was to that i really feel say i feel the same person as i think there is potential for for for that kind of action that happening and ethics in

sir are there many people are they're thinking about that but i just don't know that even though he says that may be coming over their only people even those was the sense that interview and for motions that point it's very difficult but it i had a couple questions the first one is just this pope has plastic cage in the next to last sentence of your state you have said until these things actually we will continue to make life uncomfortable and at times a little bit of the men in positions aren't in this country would you explain what you mean by that when a livable and i certainly don't mean that that we wanted was to wait wait and people i mean that that whatever people are obviously that involves in this country and in town by little the one you like we're making face the issue when a poet i mean this i mean we will continue to press in indiana think most of us are

are are are commit you are leaving ever we can get a nonviolent way of doing and will continue to press that may mean now allowing people to me now maybe now it's you know i've been following people places and an end and hounding them and im doing things in some ways i suppose many the congressman who were on weston's that the cambodian invasion it felt that their life in some ways was maybe a livable and that sense of the word om is not an assassination for a oh no it's certainly not an assassination for i apologize russian gas it because i'm sure that there are people of interest when they can be read literally as well as figuratively you explain very clearly cameron was asked repeatedly by members of the commission to give them specific recommendations that would alleviate campus tension none was forthcoming and shared their views of the

commission dr messiah college of san francisco state college and author robin fleming president of the university of michigan has all the witnesses agreed that causes of campus unrest and money complex and all interlocking each had his own idea of which factors were most important factor falling have these among others president of institution news tried to blow the ultimate responsibility for the day to day operations of the campus but he has responsibility to a great many constituencies in the course these constituencies are often in very serious disagreement the stones for instance are very reluctant to recognize the fact that their education is heavily subsidized and that they simply cannot continue only alienate the public in the form of the taxpayers or don't hours without having those people withdraw the support which they're giving to education on the other hand the public get which gets set antagonize by the tactics of some young people too often want to exert pressure on and punishment

on all and a list that polarizes the camps it is of course exacerbated by the fact that we and every large campus we do have a small but violent radical group where they maybe students say maybe nine students they may be both they're utterly totalitarian they're not touchable by reasoning so the most severe psychiatric problems as suspension or expulsion from school does not resolve the problem because they usually stay in the community and they not only do not care that they alienate the public they rather liked alienate the public because this contributes to tearing down the institution which they believe in many cases must be done they were often actively work to provoke police actions because they know that in that kind of a situation almost certainly some relatively innocent person is going to be hurt and that will in turn cause a reaction against university and against the police now on the other hand you

have that extreme group in the public to believe that the only way to deal with these things is by force including if necessary live ammunition and they don't seem to realize that this almost certainly will do far more harm than good that it will take the great mass of moderate students and throw them into the hands of the radicals which is exactly where the latter would like them to be i would not complete my area of this without saying that there are certainly some segments of the press in the broadcast media have done very great damage duberstein i well remember that the first major city that i had to deal with they had to continue to days beyond oh the time when it could have been stopped and because the leaders told me quite candidly that one and the national networks could not be there for two days more and that is necessary for them to keep going in order to get the kind of national

publicity which they have they want an education and all of us or administrators have had i suppose the experience of what some lawyers call confrontation by appointment that's the sort of situation with the only used first color tv people find out still be available at experian and that would be a convenient time to have a confrontation so that it can be well a picture solace to deal with these and see an astonishing difference in the conversation before the lights turn on and after they turn on that might be amusing if it didn't convey such a false impression of what's really going on there are certainly politicians who are exploiting unrest they realize that there is hostility in the public towards higher education that it is in many ways a popular political subject and they exploited and this in turn for a further polarize as the constituencies makes it more difficult for those of us who have to have to deal with there are the president of

the national student association in a statement of a formal statement he devoted considerable time and space to internal administration with the university and i'm certain that excluding me a university of michigan there have been some problems of internal administration of which mr palmer speaks would you work at a comment plays upon the emphasis that was the pommel places on this particular aspect of the problem in our universities but i did not hear mr comer test was born i was here very near the end but i didn't hear what he said and so i i'm not the fully mature voice that i do know most commonly like mr oates and i all served on this other committee together so i have heard some years before and one could include the university of michigan

certainly in his views about this and there is no doubt that there is a great these dire on the part of students to have a greater opportunity for just update in in both the governance of the university and in the setting of curricula in eu the potentiality for controlling their own lives last of the local permit this kind of doctrine more possibilities for joining in the widespread participation in the universe i don't think my so that that has the same importance that most glamorous thing zika is but i think it is more important than some of my academic friends think of it so i'm somewhere in the middle on that i do believe that that students ought to have much more widespread opportunities to bridges update i don't believe that in certain areas they should have a controlling kind of

book because i think there are certain areas in which it's clear that the expertise of faculty and the experience of faculty is more important and morale but i wouldn't support and they in many many ways at the university we do have great protest patients army in waterville area that we now have know that you don't think the students add that well i don't think for instance with respect to the hiring faculty that that is primarily a job for students i would i would disagree with many of my academic colleagues in the sense that i would let them participate because it i believe they have a valuable input into it i would let them participate in the evaluation and faculty members and in the question of whether they are promoted for instance are but i would not let them have a controlling vote in those americans for one thing as the year student the population is it to train should

kind of thing i know they resent that when you say that but it's true it is a transient kind of a four seven and when one lives around universities all of us do you see that for me i'm here because i just have the one experience i had two years ago had a group of students come in and ask me don't give them some support awesome farms we maintain to this present president's office to help them with an evaluation love and the faculty in their teaching and that i've always favored that that was a good idea and so i talked with them but nice about this offer one common cause i'm going to support this and i think you ought to do it but i we tell you that might bring and says that a group like yours will get all interested in this excited about getting utility but that it would die because you all line and the other group or be interested in all that would

happen in this case they were they had this all planned out they hadn't built in carry over and they did a good job when they published the book the end of the year vowing called carry over into the scene you're now going to carry out and all they said we have a new idea about how to do this now there's you're going to computerize bond don't have a different basis well and so they did do it on a different basis and again i think they did a useful project and they are carrying out but the point i'm making is that you do get a different group each year and they do have different ideas and it's hard to maintain the stability of an operation if you're going to change your ideas on what every year about how i do dr fleming good offer three things that can be done to ease campus unrest the first an unwavering completely credible commitment by the government to run the war in vietnam the second special state and federal financial assistance to minority group members to allow them more access to higher education

and the third and a major overhaul of the two major political parties to give young people confidence of things can be changed inside the system dr s i a color the world famous mattresses became president of san francisco state college that school was paralyzed by violence he manage to quiet the school by using extensive police force and it stayed quiet for the past year dr mccullough suggested one cause of campus unrest is that many young students are victims of a diploma mad society and reality are involuntary and helpless captives of the educational system that we must listen to young people they're the best and brightest of his jet other generation they have something to tell us why they're a sentimental apologize or i would agree that the message i hear is not the same side with others report here they say clearly and unmistakably we won out were kind of a previous job or retired preparing for life we want to tackle real problems in the classroom exercises and we can't leave school about being

drafted and we want to reconstitute universities into it just like the outside world groups on politics intimidation cafeteria worker were tired of the unit saw the destructive activists do have a point for the colleges in the play and it has to be made real you were beating the real favor to expel them says they clearly don't want the children scott environment university by the curious lives of at least an influential force the college back in our nation can't expel because to expel an estimated eleven the draft which had sent him to vietnam one of the hill so the expulsion was equal to a death sentence but the non violent non disruptive wondered about in boys also have a point to college apart from being a playpen isn't the place for serious work in

preparation for become a teacher or a lawyer or an engineer scientist a portland businessman and they don't cap this week so it seems to me that we need for young men and women in america today are two different kinds of things first of all on a lot higher education cannot now get it should be given the chance to get and secondly the supplies especially the upper middle class or who don't want higher education or not sure they want that should have the freedom to postpone college or not a good politico of freedom does not know who exist because of the draft now the education problems that the poor and the underprivileged are being worked on at least their center of a lot of attention with the expansion of junior college or community colleges took the nation recruitment of minority students financial aid programs and the like but the problem of the captives do is ignore that can be done

but i believed that the germans for college student should be stopped it once was first placed young man of all income levels on the same basis illustrative of this legacy is the fact that the part of english for example for non days of young men who have no interest in literature that it is good that young men who have no intention of becoming ministers and enabling the draft and they weren't ready to abandon their studies at the drop of a break instead of the more one dollar billion in equities and chanting as you'd like to see a program of compulsory national service for all young men and women a major rating on the servers can last two or three years the service commission civilian or military at the option of the individual to say as panama the same people who aren't asian descent are and this is it sense of it's

wrong or it's injustice wherever but alice ursula with a sort of a flippant capricious and frustration over that the course isn't only the fact that they are abstract now my question is that is a terribly serious charge to make in this data of people being shocked with a dude so my question to you and then there's the question you as if you mean that you repeat it clearly was i think this immense damage well i think i mean about it although i don't want to put it in the same evaluate have turned to used but to call somebody that a lot more gray with mr jerry rubin has said to have said if we didn't have a war in vietnam we'd have had to invent it the youth when i have this revolution anyway and i think there is a truth in this to this degree that much of the cause of student unrest is more psychological than it is a response to actually mess over much those actual events need to be responding to lose some important
