Decision Time for the University Notre Dame in 1969 stands as perhaps the best-run, best organized large university in the U.S. It is operated by a complex of administration that functions smoothly and usually without any obvious problems. The presi- dent of the University can rest assured that there will be little hint of campus revolt. In effect, he must feel that it can ' t happen here. Father Hesburgh has carefully governed this univer- sity for sixteen years. Recently, he has set up several organizational structures that may very well assume the effective operating control of the University. He has revitalized the Board of Trustees, the Academic Council, initiated the Student Life Council and the Faculty Sen- ate in short, he has set up no shortage of bodies to take care of the grievances that may arise here. But this year marks an important turning point in the Hesburgh administration more important than his decentralization of decision-making at the University. For the first time, his administrative excellence in Uni- versity matters goes beyond Notre Dame; he received wide recognition as author of a hard-line letter that condemned campus violence and set up legal terms for pohce action in a university situation. Hesburgh ' s letter was received with much more hoopla outside than with- in; one can only assume that he meant the letter to be a manifesto for beleagured university presidents and an incentive for worried alumni and contributors. For Notre Dame has few of the problems faced by a university in siege. It is difficult to understand the importance of such a letter on the campus we love. Notre Dame has such obvious problems money; its incredibly all-male atmo- sphere; a campus more like a monastery than a university that, strangely enough, there has always been a wide range of freedom for its students. Things happen here that would never be permitted elsewhere. There has al- ways been the tacit Irish city hall attitude of the re- lationships between students and the University: It ' s O.K. but don ' t let it get out. Hesburgh ' s letter im- poses a new legalism on a personalized administration; he has removed himself from the students one further step and put the police in the middle. Father Hesburgh, in his attempt to depersonalize the University, is playing with the same sort of difficulties faced by New York ' s Mayor John Lindsay. His decision to increase the role of organized bodies and minority groups to give them legally a greater say in city govern- ment has made his city practically ungovernable. Hes- burgh ' s decision to emphasize the legalism in a tough, hard-line approach may make the University equally ungovernable. This University has always been governed by a boss who has played an important personal role in its shaping. It is absurd to think that the organizations and structures of administration will function without important per- sonal contact. Despite his absences, Father Hesburgh and his other administrators have never been aloof from the problems of this University. It is no time to start now.
