georgetown published by horn newspaper limited 22 main street south georgetown ontario w cbiehn publisher page 4 thursday aaay 8th 1 969 editorial comment doubtful victory the mounting tre to allow a surplus of selfexpression to young people was never more apparent than in last weeks incident in a toronto collegiate when a sitin by a small group took place after a school paper criticizing the school administration took place the prin cipal suspended thre of the leaders ono mother wts quoted as saying she would not interfere because she had raised her cieughter to think for herself the pnnci pal levelled a blast at education minister william davis claiming he pays more at tention to young people than he does to the views of the authorities mr davis says fli department would not interfere because it was a parochial matter a vote of students and staff on a cor- stituftbn then decided that students should what can we expect incidents like that in toronto are bound to multiply they stem directly from the universities where authorities have let matters get so out of hand that it will soon be chaos small disturbances have grown larger lately armed students in the states have taken over control of buildings forcibly re- rrvad members of the staff demands are s ts chccte cou es have a v n mung professors run their own student buildings student newspapers are free to print whatever they like and what they like makes more than a puritan blush we can assure you in the usa president nixon himself announced last week that this must stop while being rather unspecific about wha he was going to do to stop it in canada as yet there has been a sil ence while thunder rumbles here and light- not against youth when one speaks frankly these days about problems like this he is accused of being reactionary an old fuddyduddy of being unaware of the generation gap we are getting heartily sick of hearing such words as dialogue permissiveness freedom of choice student power sometimes we long for the days when a dialogue waja onesided talk between dad and sons when permissiveness and freedom of choice was to do it mum s way or not at all when student power was tne ability to get to and frci a classroom as for the generation gap who s kid ding who there always was one only differ ence was that a dozen years ago it needed no words to describe it parents have always expected to be thought of as old fogeys ust as they did of i bill smiley t messers not for me but s be allowed freedom of speech the princi pal continued the suspensions because they had taken place before the new constitution and in the legislature mr davis made a statement implyingthat a good decision had been reached how far this selfexpres6jon idea is going to go is anyoneiguess today the maonty of parents who are try ing to instill a moderate degree of discip line and good work habits into their chil dren are constantly thwarted by a wild swing to self expression a generation ago the school played a vital role in this for children who had training at home it comp lemented this for children who didn t it acted as a foster parent giving them some of the guidance they should have got at home its- not that i particuularly enjoy fighting for lost causes 1 lost the flag fight and look at the rag we got i know i cant beat nondisposable bottles soaring taxes and my wife but somebody some voice in the wilderness of the twentieth cen tury must keep the banners fly ing and k flame burning thats why i think te cbc should not have cancelled that hardy annual the don messer show regardless of those pur veyors of the puerlity of the pubhe the ratings personally i wouldnt watch the don messer show with a tenfoot telescope its mixture of emasculated barn dance and ineffable bathos are not my bag ever ning flashes there university presidents are resigning and there is difficulty get- tingresponsible replacements few men are willing to enter the lions den without sone assurance that he will have the equip ment to cope with the beast with universities rapidly getting out of hand high schoolers are bound to ape their elders its becoming the thing to do if you dont like it protest have a sitin picket the school tell your teachers what you think of them j its past time that our government steps salaries tax hikes good amunition for protests 11 f dear editor forgive the belated response in and gves the guidance for which most f your went editorial re the volce their protcsts by tax 8r and the youth situation able means and if thelr prot parents are praying we have a department i am writing this from in that work for the hospital these are the young ones with the right ideas on how to use some spare time the cry from teenagers of nothing to do is silly why not form a club and find out how many of our senior citizens are unable to clean its the squeaky wheel that ttom their doorsteps a geu the grease p tot mch treet etc these are things really worth- the youth of canada can while katharine cordaro costs nothing i est are valid i am sure that of university affairs a department of edu- hospital bed and must apolog responsible people will back cation if they are afrad to take action be- ae t0 at one w them to the limit i getown citizens who asked me georgetown can be cause of losing votes they aren t as politil commen on that tax hike i long hair and irresponsible beautiful town with no cally conscious as tnis writer for every vote failing health had slowed me actions do not command res- cost to anyone they might lose they will gain a dozen ldown but tnank to a ve pect from their elders nor keeping your yard and boule but i know a great many mid dle aged and older people who look forward to it weekly and enjoy it thoroughly their toes tap to the sprightly fiddling and their eyes grow wet over the sentimental songs of yester year and hat s wronc with that it may be corny but it is canadian right out of the ma ritimes and however bad its ratings are it couldnt be worse than those of that crud the cbc buys from the states and forces on us willy nilly most of its fans like it be cause it is clean and comfort able the show to them is like an old friend with whom they can relax safe in the knowl edge for half an hour once a week they wont be subjected to the perversion violence and viciousness that characters o good
