* Students And Policy

If there was a hero of the recent
American Council on Education
meeting in Washington, if might
well have been Sister Jacqueline
Crennan, president of Webster
College.
Sister Jacqueline was one of
four
panelists who discussed
"Higher Education and the Moral
Revolution."
Some of the most important
things she said dealt not with the
moral revolution but on
just what part students should play
in higher education.
In fact, the topic of the three-da- y
ACE session was "The Student
in Higher Education." The topic,
designed before last year's riots at
Berkeley, testifies to the fact that
college administrators are beginning to think about their students
as more than mere figures on enrollment charts and to ponder just
what part they should play in
shaping campus policies.
It is because we feel students
have a particular viewpoint that
administrators cannot duplicate, no
matter how knowledgeable, and
because we feel students should
be listened to not from fear (as is
the case many places) but because
their ideas are respected, that we
take this space to reprint Sister
Jacqueline's conclusion.
We think it is a good message
for all administrators and faculty
members who deal wilh students.
"It is 'the ardor, the faith, the
contagion of living truth emerging
from all action and exercise of
will that can produce, I believe,

"Perhaps the only honest and

quote the old rule: "The student

of his (high school) class will be
denied admission unless a review
of all available evidence gives
reasonable assurance that he can

These standards were so low that
our admissions office has been
appliswamped with
cants. Under the new rule standards
will be set to reduce by at least
50 per cent the number of present
applicants which would automatically be admitted.
This represents a very substantial raising of standards. The
discretionary clause to provide consideration of applicants who do not
meet the standards but who may
have a special talent or other
unusual factors in their favor has

Last winter readers responded
in various ways to an editorial on
the role of Negro writers in the
United States. We had spoken of
some Negro writers using shock
tactics "in the hope of drawing
some small attention to matters
toward which the majority seemed
able to remain indifferent for a
century." We pointed to the argument that human reform seldom
comes until morals are shocked in
one way or another. But we suggested that the time may have come
for efforts toward a dialogue
through persuading as well as
arousing.
A Negro teacher took us to task
for what he considered insufficient
stress on a continued need to shock
public complacency. A letter-writthought we had indicated a fruitful
direction and named a number of
Negro authors as examples of it.
In the spring Negro writers
themselves, along with a few
whites, showed a considerable
range of approach in a symposium
called "The Task of the Negro
Writer as Artist" in Negro Digest.
Here was one of the younger authors
voicing a strongly intransigent attitude by saying, "The Black Artist's
role in America is to aid in the
destruction of America as he knows
it." And a senior member of the
group saying that "it behooves

Dodd Launches Witch Hunt' After Protests

The Collegiate Tresi Service
A new hunt for Communists
may be one result of last weekend's (Oct.
protests of the
widening United States role in the
Vietnam war.
In Chicago Sunday night, U.S.
h
Attorney General Nicholas
claimed that Communists
are active in the marches and
demonstrations
protesting the
war in Vietnam and that the
justice department has begun an
investigation.
Mr. Katzenbach charged that
some Communists were working
for the Students for a Democratic
Society, a national group that has
been a leader in the anti-wa- r
movement. The attorney general
said he is awaiting results of his
department's investigation to determine the strength of SDS and
whether there are any direct ties
between the group and the Communist Party.
Mr. Katzenbach cited federal
laws against aiding and abetting

persons to avoid the draft and described SDS pamphlets that were
distributed at several rallies that
tell how to avoid military service.
Paul Booth, a spokesman for
SDS, said Monday that "our program is perfectly legal. We are
advocating that people should become conscientious objectors, not
draft dodgers." SDS leaflets and
literature do not advise people to
avoid the procedures of the Selective Service Act, he said, but
to file with their draft boards as
conscientious objectors.
"Most importantly," Booth
said, "we feel that the attorney
general's drumming up of the
Communist issue only serves to
obscure the real issue which is the
war in Vietnam." He said that
SDS would be willing to explain
its program to any interested
group, including representatives
of the justice department when
and if they inquire.
In a staff study released last
week, the Senate's Internal Se- -

Sen.

Thomas

Dodd
of the

subcommittee, said that the weekend demonstrations were especially characteristic of Communist tactics.
The subcommittee's
study,
prepared at Sen. Dodd's direction, conceded that "the great
majority" of persons who differ
with the administration's policy
in Vietnam are "loyal Americans." But the study suggested
movethat leaders in the anti-wa- r
ment have failed to prevent or
limit Communist infiltration of
their ranks and have thus left control to people "who are openly
sympathetic to the Vietcong and
openly hostile to the United

States."

Meanwhile, impressed with
their weekend showing, leaders in
the movement have pressed plans

for a March on Washington
against the war. The march, now
being organized by SANE, an
established pacifist group, will be
held Nov. 27 and will include
rallies at the White House and the
Washington Monument.
The weekend demonstrations
ranged from a para
