PRIMARY CONCERN
With the beginning of the new
academic year, it is disturbing
to know' that a primary con
cern of many college and uni
versity administrators will not
be the scholastic achievement
of students but rather how to
prevent the seizure and wreck
age of educational institutions
by would-be insurrectionists.
The decrease in campus dis
orders during the summer must
not be misconstrued. Just as
soon as the firebrands can mus
ter a caucus of dissidents, we
will witness a continuation of
the senseless plunder which
caused more than $3 million of
damage to colleges and univer
sities last academic year. Be
tween September 1968 and Ap
ril 1969, one major university
along suffered damage in ex
cess of $1 million. Some 4,000
arrests were made in connect
ion with violent demonstrations,
untold numbers of people were
injured, and at least two deaths
resulted from campus riots.
Certainly, criminal statistics
reflect no credit on tin* aca
demic community. However, un
less college and university auth
orities take positive action to
control campus violence, it will
not subside in the c o m i n g
months. The split m the Stu
dents for a Democratic Society
iSDSi ranks during the so-call
ed national convention m Chi
cago last June resulted m the
election of two slates of nat
ional officers. The expelled pro-
Peking Progressive Labor Par
ty wing set up its own SDS or
ganization Thus, opposing for
ces. each claiming to represent
the true SDS. will clash on
campuses throughout the coun
try for controlling power Since
clamor and agitation are prov
en techniques for attracting of
new members and support, vio
lent disruptions will come as
no surprise.
Although ttie SDS convention
m Chicago was, organization
ally a fiasco the feudmg fact
ions did not for a moment lost'
sight of their joint objective
Their goal is the destruction of
T S Imperialism' and the
achievement of a classless wie
letv through international com
munism.

The issues are iluw eie.u Tune
and the internal wranglings of
the urgam/titiuii leave brought
one basic and important truth
W the surface J'tu* vouthful
idealism of "participatory dem
ocracy.' so frequently espous
ed by SDS while striving for
student approval, has been cast
aside The Marxist dogma is in
full command SDS now calls
for outright revolution
Inasmuch as breaking the law
is a customary part of revol
utionary tactics, many enforce
ment agencies will become in
volved in campus strife. In most
instances, the nature and de
gree of involvement will de
pend on whether school auth
orities desire to protect their
institutions and the rights of
the majority of students who
