STOP THE WAR STOf OP, THE WAi VIETNAM um THEWAK L VIETNAI WTTWk Listening to and weighing the opinions of others. Acting upon beliefs. Such activities are necessary in the development of any mature human mind. And therefore they are a part of— and a need of— the students of Kent State University. Demonstrations serve to fulfill this need. Opinions are formed— through reading, discussion, and reflec- tion. They are then acted upon some (hopefully) sunny day in front of Bowman Hall or the Adminis- tration Building. They are transmitted to other stu- dents, the number of whom is often dependent upon the degree of that solar exposure, and whose re- actions often seem dependent upon forces unbecom- ing to the mature level of the college student. The recipients of the opinions either reflect and accept, or reflect and retaliate with a demonstration favor- ing the opposite viewpoint a few days later. Hope- fully the process will go on and on.

Freshman Halls. Coed Complex. Upperclass 60—40 ratio. These new changes to be implemented this fall provoked an issue that sparked the student body to stand in force behind their leaders ... for a few days. The command issued from the Dean of Men ' s and Women ' s Offices was given as a finished product to the residence hall government leaders who had been given no voice in the major changes . . . had not even heard of their existence. Residents revolted in a fury of protest signs and threat- ened marches . . . while student government sought some compromises from student affairs council . . . and won some. Perhaps the administration learned something ... as did the student leaders . . . but the students . . . well, it was fun to raise a commotion ... for a few days.
