already have begun to affect
hiring in this university,"
Davis said
One cause for the crises in
the universities is the changes
in young people, Davis said.
"Intellectually, emotionally,
physically the 18-year-old of
today is, perhaps, the equal of
those two or three years his
senior a generation ago," he
said. "The consequence of this
change is that institutions
designed for, say, the 18-year-
old of 1940 will be strained for
the 18 year old of 1970."
Davis also rejected the idea
that a lay board a Board of
Regents can effectively
govern a university. The tax
payers d eserve , better
representation and more
financial expertise than they
can receive from men who
serve the administration as a
"rubber-stamp," he said.
"The resolution of the crisis
has little to do with the Marxist
rhetoric of the extreme left and
Homophile course
continued from page 1
"problem whose impact and
implications extend far beyond
the medical college."
He related the courses's
development, noting that no
other course "has ever been as
carefully examined and
measured" as had the
homophile studies. Referring to
charges that the Regents had
been lax in their handling of
the course, Magrath claimed
they had informed themselves
about the studies and had made
constructive changes.
He explained that the title
"Proseminar" is a standard
term for junior-level seminar
courses and in no way means
the course is "pro-homophile."
He also mentioned some at
tempts at educational im
provement on the NU campus.
He said many departments are
taking "fresh looks" at their
teaching and programs for
undergraduates.
They hope to become more
oriented toward the students
personal growth as a total
human being rather than just
as a "fractional student" who
specializes in some field,
McGrath said. He added that
additional staff and resources
will be needed to serve this
total student.
"This costs money" he said,
and added a bargain basement
budget will provide a "bargain
basement education."
In a final reference to the
homophile studies controversy,
Magrath reminded his audience
of a law passed by the
Nebraska legislature in 1919. It
prohibited the teaching of any
language other than English in
the state's elementary schools.
The Supreme Court ruled the
law unconstitutional, observing
that, "The American people
have always regarded educa
tion and acquisition of
knowledge as matters of
supreme importance which
should be diligently promoted."
Magrath said that freedom to
acquire knowledge must not
only be promoted but also
"diligently protected for the
benefit of every one of us,
regardless of whether or not we
individually approve of a
particular course.

a lot to do with the Jeffersonian
rhetoric about democracy on
which we were all raised,"
Davis said.
He added that stronger laws
are no solution to the disruption'
plaguing American
universities.
"They have as much chance
of resolving the crisis as clos
ing the port of Boston had of
preventing the American
Revolution," Davis quipped.
"Almost any democracy is
likely to be better than a
university ruled by force."
Emphasizing the change in
universities, Davis said, "In
1955 there were stilt only three
universities with over 20,000
students. (All were in New
York state.) There are now
well over a hundred."
With this rapid growth, the
old class structure of the
university has been swept
aside, he asserted.
"The difference between then
and now is that all students
participate as equals today. No
student would, for example, be
much concerned If a junior or
sophomore, instead of a senior,
became president of the student
body," Davis said.
"This classless society,
though technically still
governed by a lay board of
outsiders, is in fact governed
by a small part of the
university community, the ad
ministration," he added. "The
legal power is actually ex
ercised . . by the ad
ministration. The administra
tion is self-electing and in
practice, responsible to no one.
The physical power, the power
of numbers, rests in the student
body."
"That relation of power is
worse than bad," Davis warn
ed. "It's a guarantee of
crisis.''
