interests focused on the struggle of Southern Negroes for civil rights and equal opportunity. But as the war in Vietnam has grown, and with it the draft calls, their attention has turned to foreign policy . . . In this climate of frustration with politics, an increasing number of students appear to be concerned with their own education and campus life. They are demanding a larger voice in deciding social and academic rules, disciplinary procedures, the hiring of professors, curriculum changes, grading systems and e ven the way the school is organized. Perhaps the most revealing controvesry between students and administrations involves the regulation of social life. For many young people, formal religion or ideology hold little meaning. It is trite but true; they have grown up with the atomic bomb and so many other causes of chaos that it is very hard for them to believe that life can be tied up in neat packages. What they believe in most is each other, and the rules that stop them from loving and learning about each other are particularly onerous. Administrators who grew up in a less mobile and affluent age, who might have believed more deeply in religion and traditional morality, quickly point out the problems. The universities own the dormitories and must take the responsibility for what happens there . . . The students reply that the only way to learn to handle freedom is to have it and that it is irresponsible for the university not to allow them to live their own lives. There is no doubt that much of the current student protest is unreasonable, arrogant and self-righteous. It is not uncommon, for example, for the faculty to initiate improvements in the educational system and for the student body to resist the changes. All wisdom does not rest with the young. But one important theme runs through all of the protest; The students want responsibility, self-reliance, the chance to decide for themselves. What else, they ask is the aim of education?
