Slips imposiblc as
Union sands walk
Slipping and sliding are all right
in an ice skating pond but not
around a Union building. Anytime
It snowed or rained people using
the sidewalks slid around so much
they almost needed to arm them
selves with ice skates. The uni
versity, however, has taken the
matter in hand, and has sand
blasted sidewalks around the Un-
Opinion-
(Continued from Page 1.)
Freedom and the barred students
themselves believe they have
shown that this was the basic rea
son. If the problem of academic
freedom is placed before the en
tire student enrollment of the
United States, especially now dur
ing these war days of fifth-column
scares and un-American activity
investigations, what is the con
census of this democracy's college
youth ?
Polling a representative cross
section of U. S. campuses, inter
viewers asked, "Do you believe
that a college has the right to
control a student's personal po
litical activities or expressions of
opinion?"
YES, said 4 percent
NO, said 91 percent
Regarding control of faculty
members' political activities or
opinions, these were the results:
Yes, said 9 percent
NO, said 91 percent
The slightly larger percentage
in favor of control of the faculty
may be due in part to the influ
ence of teachers themselves, many
of whom believe that in times like
these they should show restraint.
That feeling was expressed not
long ago by Professor Alonzo F.
Meyers of Kent State University,
when he declared, "Teaching should
protect democracy, but in periods
of stress it is of paramount im
portance that academic freedom
does not provide the cause for de
nial of democratic education as a
result of abuse of its privileges.
At the same time, we must insist
upon the preservation of academic
freedom in order that we may pre
vent disastrous results from de
fense dictatorship."
Only one student in twenty,
however, approves of control pf
undergraduates, the poll shows.
And this opinion is prevalent from
coast to coast in about the same
proportions. "Our educational cen
ters have always been the seats of
freedom, and if we start censor
ing political views on the campus
we are destroying fundamentals of
democracy," said a senior in a
Far Western university. In that
group of states the largest oppo
sition (97 percent I was discovered.
Another undergraduate stated,
"Students and faculty should be
allowed to debate social and po
litical matters on the campus if
we want to keep democracy here.
Remember what the Nazis did in
Germany -the universities there
were among the first institutions,
along with the newspapers, that
were gagged " The largest group
believing a college administration
has the right to control such ac
tivity was 8 percent, in the West
Central States.

changes which he deems wise. In
such case the aforementioned
three-fifths vote provision would
apply also to the new governor's
supplemental message.
Concluding his message the gov
ernor expressed his opposition to
an increase in the state's prop
erty tax or the addition of a new
tax. Said Mr. Cochran: "In pre
paring this budget I have found
it necessary to depart from my
knowledge of needs and have been
guided rather by my knowledge
of the reduced ability of the tax
payers to pay."
