Hoover warns of campus disturbances Millions of college students are returning to campuses throughout the country to be gin the fall semester. They represent both the hope and the shape of the future. From the standpoint of educational op portunities and intelligence, they are far better equipped than any preceding generation to participate constructively in developing solutions to the many complex problems con fronting our nation. It can be expected that most of these young people will ful fill the promise they represent to us. In doing so, they will join hands with the millions of Americans of good will who actively seek meaningful solu tions to our social life. If our joint progress in this regard is impeded and deterred, much of the trouble will come from a growing band of self-styled rev olutionaries who are using the college campuses as a base for their destructive activities. This comparatively small group of arrogant, hard-core milit ants have contempt for the majority and our democratic processes. They regard them selves as the nucleus of an elite dictatorial ruling • class of the future. These extremists openly avow that their aim is to overthrow the existing order. Under the guise of academic freedom and freedom of speech, they profess to seek a dialog, when actually what they seek is confrontation with established authority to provoke disorder. Through these confrontations, they expect to smash first our educational structure, then our economic system, and finally our govern ment itself. It is vitally important to recognize that these militant extremists are not simply fad dists or “college kids” at play. Their cries for revolution and their advocacy of guerrilla war fare evolve out of a pathologi cal hatred for our way of life and a determination to destroy it. The workshops they hold on sabotage and how to use it to further their objectives are grim forebodings of serious in tent. This New Left movement, as it is known, is growing both in numbers and varied forms of violence. Last spring, major disorders precipitated by the revolutinonary adherents of the movement occurred on a num ber of college campuses, In the violent uprising aj; Columbia University, militant students and outsiders took over several buildings and committed sense less and deliberate destruction, the incident triggered similar disturbances on other campuses. Changes may be necessary and improvements in any institution can be made, but this is not the way to do it. Encouraged by their “suc cess” at Columbia, the anarch ists in the New Left movement are boldly spreading the word that they intend to “create two, three, many Columbias,” in the manner of one of their ,heroes,” Che Guevara, the Cuban revolutionary who cried, “create two, three, many Viet- nams!” The main thrust of the New Left movement arises from the concerted efforts of the Stu dents for a Democratic Society. Many of its members and some of its national leaders openly profess their faith in commun ist concepts and their determ ination .to “restructure” our society. One of the militant spokesmen of this group stat ed, for example, that “perhaps 25 universities linked to the movement would be too much for the police—for the domin ant class—and we would get what we demand.” The New Left leaders plan to launch a widespread attack on educational institutions this fall. They are relying on colleg iate dissidents and militants to bolster and accelerate this drive. It would be foolhardy for educators, public officials, and law enforcement officers to ig nore or dismiss lightly the rev olutionary terrorism invading college campuses. It is a ser- iou? threat to both the academ ic community and a lawful and orderly society.
