RESPONSIBILITY ON CAMPUS Would a medical school invite an abortionist to address student doctors? Would a municipal fire fighting school allow an arsonist to state his views? Would a col lege of business administration give a platform to an embezzler? The answer to each and all of thees questions is, of course, “No.” The law-breaker and the criminal mind, the conspirator and the knowing doer of evil have no place in a teaching institution. Then why should a communist official be allowed to address the students of a university on uni versity property? Again, the logi cal answer is that such a person should not be permitted to use a university for his nefarious pur poses. ; Yet in North Carolina, where the legislature enacted a law banning the appearance of com munists at state facilities, “lib erals” have teamed up to con demn r the legislative act. They preach the silly notion that aca demic freedom is somehow im paired If a communist is not giv en the same platform offered to respectable citizens. How absurd can people get? The communist point-of-view is not just the point-of-view of another political party. The com munist is, by virtu* of his beliefs and the conspiracy in which he is engaged, an enemy of free society. Well, some persons may say, we should know our enemies. In deed we should. But it isn’t nec essary to submit to a propaganda speech in order to understand the nature of the communist movement and its goals. The over-all communist position is to be found in the writings of Lenin, Stalin and its contemporary the orists. Any student can go to the library and learn the character of the communist doctrine. He can rend the fnrfrhriT nt Milritn Khrushchev, who heads the in ternational conspiracy as well as the Soviet State, and those of lesser communist officials. As a matter of fact, nothing prevents those persons in North Carolina, who think students should be exposed to real live communists, to hiera hall in the town of Chapel Hill or elsewhere and have communist party offic ials give speeches for students to hear. There’s now law against that in North Carolina. What the North Carolina law bars is the use of state property as a platform for communists. It prevents communist officials, such as National Party Chair man Gus Hall or National Com mittee Member Herbert Apthek- er, from being given the honor that is associated with an ap pearance at a state university. Whatever speakers are chosen to address a university student body should be there because they will contribute to the edu cation and well-being of the stu dents. To be asked to give a speech at a university, in North Carolina or elsewhere, is com monly and rightly regarded as a privilege and an opportunity. Neither the privilege nor the op portunity should be extended to a communist, who detests all our American values and who seeks the overthrow of the republic, by violence if necessary. Aside from these considera tions, there is the fact {hat com munists do not speak the truth and do no believe in it. This is part of the communist philoso phy. Communism says that truth is merely a function of the party’s needs; it is manipulated to meet the demands of the party. Therefore, a university that gives a communist an opportun ity to address a student body is knowingly allowing untruth to be voiced on campus for the express purpose of indoctrinating youth or distorting real situations and values. University authorities should realize that to allow such a situa tion to prevail is a betrayal of the parents’ . trust—indeed of the trust of the people of the state who support the university. To say that denial of oportunity for communists to telf lies is a de nial of academic freedom is to have a tragically wared idea of what freedom is. The legislature of North Caro lina undoubtedly will come un der continuing heavy bombard ment from “liberals” Who want to reopen the campuses to com munist squeakers. But the legis lature is on sound, logical grounds. It should stick to its guns and educate the dissenting educators if that is necessary. What is most important about our universities is that our Ameri can values be protected, for they are part of our national heritage. To encourage law-breakers and conspirators to twist student thinking so to allow the under mining of the foundations of our free society^ Mrs. H. S. Oakley .

THIS OWNER LOVES IT! THIS OWNER LOVES IT! THIS OWNER LOVES IT! The three pictures above illustrate one reason for their enthusiasm. The top car is a 1963 model... the center car la a 1962 Cadillac . . . and the lower car is four years old. The styling through the years has evolved and refined, but each is unmistakably a Cadillac. These owners share a common knowledge. Not even most new motor cars offer the degree of pleasure and reliability that come with a previously owned Cadillac. First, there is Cadillac’s renowned craftsmanship, which results in a car of unusual endurance. Next, consider value. The equipment on a Cadillac of older vintage is still extra cost on most new cars . .. and includes such features as Hydra-Matic, power steer ing, power brakes, power windows on most models . . . plus many Cadillac engineering advancements that still have not found their way into other new 1964 can. And don’t overlook Cadillac’s reputation for operat ing economy—comparable to many smaller can. So when you make your next motor car in vest meat, new or used, consider only one name—CadiHac.
