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^

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.
