A) Student unrest-including violence mi college campuses-is not an isolated phenomenon, ft does not occur just in the United States. Indeed, it is not limited to the Western Fre<b World. At a recent conference of the Interparliamentary Union held in Vienna, Austria, the following topic appeared suddenly on the agenda of one of the committees: "Hie Student in the University and Society Today." A few years ago, this title might have evoked discussions of college curricula, physical facilities, admissions practices, or any number of problems affecting university students and society. But in the light of pre- > sent conditions, parliamentary delegates from some 50 nations in both the communist and noncommunist world devoted most of their attention to student unrest and violence. Most of the participants explained the' disorders in terms of defects in our systems of higher education i.e. failure on the part of college administrations to recognize the needs and interests of today's students; a tendency on the part of some college professors to be authors and lectureres -- instead of teachers; shortages of college facilities including housing; and other easily understood explanations. However, a delegate from the United Arab Republic blamed his country's student disorders on the alleged misdeeds of the Israelis. Several communists (one from the French Chamber of Deputies, the other from the Italian parliament) blamed student disorders in their countries on the injustices and exploitation perpetrated by their capitalistic governments. Such simple propaganda explanations contributed nothing to a solution of the problem of student unrest. If the" communists were willing to concede that student demonstrations are generally suppressed -by force under communism, there* might be substantial acceptance of this thesis. But even in Red China, Communist Hungary, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia and other authoritarian countries, students have engaged in violent disorders with resulting damage and injury exceeding anything experienced in our own country. Several conclusions can be drawn from the Interparliamentary Union conference and other discussions which have taken place. First, a wide communications gap has developed between college administrations and college students. Administration and faculty have lost touch with the thoughts, objectives and ideals of college students. Permitting students to have a voice in recommending „ courses of study and even participating in the naming of faculty members may be the only answer in many cases to this serious communications gap that has developed. Second, the opportunities of the federal Congress to reduce student unrest is quite limited. Depriving disorderly college students of federal scholarship and loan funds appears to be the most likely congressional action . Potentially explosive problems in college campuses will have to be solved indi- McCLORY REPORTS From Washington vidually by the college administrations which are directly involved. Third, the use of force a generally unacceptable method of correcting a problem which ercqpts into demonstrations or disorders. The presence of police or military guards is not compatible with a college or university environment. A college president's door should not be barred or guarded in order to prevent his office from being occupied. Of course, vandalism and violence by students must be dealt with sternly - and the perpetrators must be punished approppriately. But the college campus must remain open and free in order that freedom of thought and the expression of ideas may flourish and the minds of today's students nurtured to meet the problems - the even greater problems - of tomorrow.
