It is the colleges and universities
responsibility to build an educational system that can nourish the qualities the
student brings to their society. This educational system cannot be built on curriculum alone. First, the spirit and character of American education must be
changed, and this change must initiate
in the heart of the institution the faculty.
Today's world situation is a
changed one, and most of what is taught
in American history is taught in a parochial framework. Education should be
put into a world framework.
Interviews with many of the confer

conclusions:

Today's student knows more than
any previous generation, yet college curriculum still stresses liberal arts and
places too little emphasis on international
studies. Colleges, apparently awareof this
rapidly-increasin- g
quality in students,
have raised entrance requirements, but
retained basically the same curriculum.
Because of this knowledge explosion, students are no longer willing to
accept the authority of the "older generation'' or the authority of its educational
system. They seldom find excitement in
liberal arts courses required.

of the nation's higher institutions have

"The preparation of the teacher must
begin with a sensitivity to the culture
and the society in which he exists," said
Dr. Harold Taylor, who delivered the
conferenc e's keynote address Friday night.
"This sensitivity can be gained by direct
experience with society, and is being
by those students involved in
tutoring in the slums, teaching in Southern Freedom Schools or working on voter

surgery.

PITTSBURGH -- The American Anthropological Association
ended its 65th annual meeting
here Sunday after agreeing to
elaborate a set of "ethical guidelines" for scholars who work on
government contracts.
Differences over the whole
range of government relations
with the academic community
and a sharp clash over a resolution oh the Vietnam War made
it the most turbulent annual
gathering in the memory of its
senior members.

The ethical guidelines are
pected to recommend that, except in the case of war, academic
institutions should not undertake research projects that are
subject to security restrictions.
The decision to thus tighten
the ethical code of anthropologists was a response to a report by Dr. Ralph L. Beals, a
former president of the association who is now professor of anthropology at the University of
California at Los Angeles. The
report strongly criticized attempts by government intelliex-

Council of Fellows
voted Saturday night to table a
series of recommendations prepared by Beals because some
members wanted stronger language while others found them
too restrictive.
The association's executive
board interpreted the action Sunday as giving it a mandate to
rewrite the recommendations as
"ethical guidelines" and put
them to a mail vote before or
shortly after Christmas. The
board met to clarify a number of;
resolutions adopted amidst the
confusion of Saturday night's
council session.
It was learned that in the
course of the session, which was
closed to the press and public,
Beals urged swift action by the
association, noting that the majority of members now favored
safeguards to protect "the independence and integrity" of anthropology.
Beals conclusions were based
on a

he traveled 35,000 miles in Latin
America and the Middle East.
The study had been requested

He pointed to the higher Education Act of 1965 and the
International Education Act of

called "the most important single

for community service programs,
college libraries, development of
institutions, student scholarships, the establishment of a Na- -

Many participants, representing schools which have no program for international studies,

importance.

Keeper of the wayward articles is Sgt. Baird Brown,
who tags, stacks, and consoles the articles which come
in from buildings all over the campus.
Judging from the articles on hand, there are at
least nine engineers who are wandering around denuded

A Stand For Freedom
A

proposal unanimously approved by the Kentucky Intercollegiate Press Association last
weekend is a bright sign that the
state's colleges and universities
may have taken more than a token

step toward educational maturity.
In itself the proposal is a set
of 10 principles to promote responsible collegiate journalism. They
represent the sort of ethical belief
upon which the few truly great
newspapers of this country are
based, the belief in a free, truthful, uninhibited exchange of information and ideas. These principles place two of the greatest
responsibilities upon student press
that any member of the educational community is likely to have:
1. To report openly and freely
all areas of the campus community, providing an unrestricted forum for free discussion.
2. To accurately and truthfully
communicate to the campus community what happens within it.
The core of the proposal centers on a provision postulating complete freedom for the college press
from any prior censorship by a

"representative of a university."
Only in these circumstances can
any newspaper function as it
should,
(, .
But there is a greater significance to the adoption of such a
provision by KIPA. A year ago
approval could not be gained and
it was in fact due to this provision that the entire proposal was
voted down. Passage now indicates that a new attitude and a
healthier atmosphere may have
come over Kentucky's colleges and
y
universities. For inherent in
to take such a strong stand
on censorship was a real fear,
first, that restriction could not be
eliminated, and secondly, that students were in no position to make
such demands.
Perhaps now both students and
college administrators have come
to accept those responsibilities endowed by the idea of a truly free
society. No longer can it be
doubted that free expression must
