"On campus after campus, the danger flags are
out," says Time magazine, in its April 13th issue.
"Caution... is the watchword... the academic motto
for 1953 is fast becoming: "Don't say; don't write;
dontgo.'"
The article goes on to relate how students, too, are
staying out of legitimate political oi-gariizations because they fear the organizations may someday be
labelled "commie" and pose a threat to the students'
future job security.
Too many waves of lonthinking people with good
intentions nave been sucked into the Communist
"scare" mania, which is little more than a device promoted by a few politicians of dubious character to further their own political ends. For some, the scare provides not only a great cover-up but a tool for further
exploitation.
Only the Communist party member or party line
follower, who actively attempts overt acts against the
public—incitation of violence, sabotage, etc.—should
be prosecuted. The idealistic thinkers who merely embrace the theory of communism as an ideal government (forgetting that ideal people would be essential
to its success) should not be persecuted. Any infringement upon the principle of complete academic freedom should be out of the question.

these men, and other totalitarian chiefs before them,
either feared their system of government wouldn't
stand up under comparison with democracy or knew
damn well it wouldn't
Are Americans afraid, too? Do they really have so
little faith in their form of government that they actually believe, however remotely, that its enemies
could sway many intelligent minds by infiltration of
the colleges? Do they have so little faith in the principles of their government that they're afraid to let
the other fellow say what he thinks, even if his ideas
are revbltihgry opposed to"those of the majority?
We don't think they are. We think trie "scare" is

sense of perspective. They have subordinated their
principles to what they think is their personal security, either because their faith in the principles or their
faith in themselves is shaky.
Many of the worldly, all-knowing slobs that run

It was Thomas Jefferson, we think, who said "Error
of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free
to combat it" He might have added that error of opin-
