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.
