Guest column Surrend (Editor's note; This column originally appeared in the Idaho Argonaut, the University of Idaho student newspaper. It was written by Allen Dobey) "Better to surrender than to fight" appears to be the philosophy of a great many of today's college students. This is the conclusion which. must be drawn from a survey of 12 colleges which was reported in a recent issue of National Review. One of the questions asked the students was, "If the United States should find itself in such a position that all other alternatives were closed save a world war with the Soviet Union, which would you prefer?" The students preferred surrender by a majority of 54 per cent. This figure cannot be considered representative since a large portion of the colleges surveyed (e.g. Brandeis, Yale, Boston University, Reed, and Stanford) are especially notorious for their domination by the New Left. At institutions such as these, large majorities favoring surrender THERE This baby seal was lucky. It was d bludgeoning and beating.

In response to another significant question, a sizeable minority of the students (22 per cent) stated that the United States should disarm unilaterally. Although it may not be representative of all the nation's college students, the survey is disturbing in that it reveals the great increase in New Left-type thinking among them. A similar survey of the same institutions in 1961-63 showed that only 25 per cent of the students preferred surrender. It seems strange that New Left students who so vociferously protest the alleged repressiveness of American society, who adamantly refuse to be drafted or submit to military discipline should be willing to submit so meekly to communist tyranny. This apparent contradiction cannot be entirely explained as due to just old fashioned cowardice, BAl BAI MUST BE A L @ad before it was skinned.

Unfortunately, should New Left thinking concerning unilateral disarmament and surrender ever become national policy, com munist conquest would become an immediate certainty. American military power is all that prevents the communists from achieving their goals. Should America refuse to defend itself, communist conquest would be simple and immediate. Another possible explanation for the New Left's preference for surrender is that the New Left may not realize what a communist take over would mean. Many New LAftists express the belief that communists are simply nice people who would like to do us a favor by removing our present system of government. The New Leftist may believe that they themselves would be treated well under communist rule. The New Leftists, of course, would be found wanting. TERED 3IES.

Members of the Student Mobilization Committee (SMC) *said the observance was decided in the Wednesday night meeting. Gonzalo Lea, a former student who says he is connected with SMC, expressed dissatisfaction with the observance. Leon said students have become apathetic and urged more par ticipation. He added, "I believe violence to be the solution" and blame the Attica incident on "the Establishment." Leon, imprisoned twice last year, said that while he was in prison, "people were becoming less radicalized and I was becoming more radicalized." A former leader of the Universal UJfe Church, he said the number of students participating in demonmtrations and confrontations has lessened greatly.
