Freedom Threatened
The student's inherent rights of free speech and free
thought are being threatened by persons who purport to
have the wisdom and intelligence to control what a student
should be exposed to and, consequently, what he should learn.
Traditionally, the college campus has been a place where
men could assemble to discuss and argue any and all topics.
Traditionally, the college campus has been a place where
men could be exposed to all facets of life. This is not the
case on many campuses today.
Officials of San Diego State College recently refused to
allow the founder of the John Birch Society to speak before
the student body because of security reasons. This from a
college which once allowed George Lincoln Rockwell, leader
of the American Nazi Party, to appear on its campus.
Many state colleges and universities, with the notable ex¬
ception of Stanford, have categorically refused to allow mem¬
bers of the Communist Party to speak on their campuses
when invited to do so by recognized student or faculty groups.
The University of California at Berkeley has such a policy.
The Berkeley chapter of the American Association of
University Professors deplores such a policy and has said
that it unequivocally objects to any restriction on freedom
of speech that exists in the University of California com¬
munity.
The Berkeley chapter has said, "The appearance of speak¬
ers on campus is a part of the instructional function of the
university, and to restrict the university's range of choice
in speakers is to restrict its educational function."
The COLLEGIAN whole-heartedly concurs with this stand.
The students are losing their rights of free speech and
assembly by a small but influential group. The SAN FRAN¬
CISCO CHRONICLE refers to this group as a "frightened
few, who are overworried about domestic Communism and
underinformed about the rights of free speech and assembly."
Traditionally, the administrative body of a college has been
delegated the powers to maintain freedom and completeness
of instruction, and there is no doubt that these powers should
remain in administrative hands. But administrators should
keep in mind the grave responsibility assumed with these
powers.
This is the responsibility to maintain the basic rights of
American citizens to hear what they want to hear and think
what they want to think. The individual must maintain his
right to make decisions for himself. Certainly no one else
has the right to make decisions for him.

Some of tbe things on this
campus seems to ridiculous to be
true. We particularly dislike the
haphazard way bushes are planted
ln order to keep people off the
grass ... the stereotypes stu¬
dents are placed in by certain
administrators . . . cafeteria help¬
ers who carefully count out 10
trench frlea . . . Salisbury steak
. . . Instructors who don't prepare
their lectures . . . the aameness or
residence ball moms.
■ WE LIKE the beautiful flow-
era growing on campus . . . teach¬
ers who hold their afternoon
classes outside In the spring (the
relaxed atmoaphere makes Tor In¬
formal discussion) . . . chocolate
cake the way tbe Cafeteria staff
makes lt . . . the sound of the
fountain . . . instructors who
don't take roll . . . Instructors
who don't seat ctassea alphabeti¬
cally . , . the Graves Hall lounge
decor.

IN MEMORIUM TO LOVE
PART I
Lift up O Soul and take within your grasp
A warmth and happiness that paints the day
With love that blots out all the darkened past
An Ecstasy that found this lonesome way.
Rejoice! Rejoice I All Gods that live above
Bring forth the royal trumpets. Let them sound
For here on earth I've found my greatest love
And together we shall be eternal bound.
Such eyes, such lips I've never seen before 1
A precious jewel amidst a sea of atone
A mere half amile upon her lips worth more
Than all the stately riches of a throne.
So come my love and ride upon our dreams
And we shall knock upon LoBt Eden's Gate
And auench our thirst upon her youthful streams
And make its joyful grounds our own estate.
