* The Best Vote
Is No Vote At All
The proverbial straw has broken
t'le back of a dilatory camel, which
only recently became able to stand
Upright.
Jim Svara has withdrawn from
the Student Congress race, and with
him he took the remaining opposition to Student Party's continued
domination of the organisation.
Following, as it does, close on the
heels of the Student Government
Party's demise, Svara's withdrawal
may have sounded the death knell
for our poor camel. Some progress
had been made this year (mere existence of a governing body would have
constituted progress of a sort). The
dynamic interchange involved in
election would have provided a sound basis for continued
progress.
The elective process ideally provides a sounding board for propped
piograms. In the heat of debate, ideas
can be synthesized given full examination. The ballot box should determine who has presented the program
most popular among voters.
There has been no debate. There
has been no synthesis of ideas. There
will be no opportunity for choice
at the ballot box.
Only a few weeks ago we were
piepared to admit that Student Con-pres- s
had a fighting chance. The Student Party had at least pumped sufficient lileblood into the body to
sustain it. And there was the promise of an election's ability to clarify
issues, and of the voters' approval and
veto.
There is only one recourse, and
it is with great reluctance that we
say this. A succession of failures, following one upon the other, in a caravan-parade
through the past few
vears, leads to the inevitable conclusion that students are not inter

on an
level, as it exists now. It now
to
remains for the administration
lend the organization what it lacks
stability. Students have never fully
accepted Congress as a governing institutionprimarily because it has
never been able to stand upright and
face the problems before it. In short,
students have little admiration, and
even less interest, in an organization
which never seems secure.
ested in

Nor does the answer lie in the
proposed revision of Student Congress' constitution. The alterations it
includes will tighten the organizational unit, but it will not delegate
new authority to the group, nor will
it erase factionalism. No
governing group will function
until it is given the authority to act in a governmental capacity
and the authority must be explicit.
The definition of this authority must
be accomplished by student leaders
themselves in recognition of the roles
played by other campus governing
groups.
President Oswald must act. He
must disband the present Congress,
call together a representative group
of student leaders from each class and
each area of interest, and begin planning a new, workable system. Only
the authority of the president's office
will bind together student leadership
in a common endeavor of this sort.
In order that the president be
made aware of the student body's
reaction to an inactive Congress, students must register a protest. This
can best be done at the ballot box.
If students refuse to vote (and certainly there is presently no compelling
reason to vote) the
part-tragi- c
elements of the situation can
be demonstrated. Dr. Oswald would
not ignore such a boycott.

Improper Conduct?
Yes, But Not Cassius
The U. S. Senate Subcommittee
an Antitrust and Monopoly just closed
hearings concerning whether or not
to put boxing under federal control,
and we now wonder whether it was
all worth the trouble. It seems unlikely that anyone can raise calculated mayhem to respectability, especially with boxing's cast of characters what it is.
Leading man is Cassius Clay, or
Cassius X, or Muhammed Ali, whom
the World Boxing Association (as it
so grandly calls itself) recently tried
to strip of his heavyweight title, because of what the WBA vaguely called
"improper conduct." This sport is so
sick that Clay has been correctly
proclaimed the best thing that has
happened to boxing in a long time.
Then we have surly Sonny Liston,
former heavyweight boxing
champion of the world, who lost his
title to Clay while sitting on a stool.
The WBA seems inclined to depose
Liston as a challenger because of some
trouble he had with a Denver traffic
's
cop. Circumstances surrounding
episode are obscure, but it is
said that he was doing about 80 in a
h
zone, that he had an unidentified woman with him (who was
later released), and that he threatened the policeman who stopped him.
Lurking in the background are
Frankie Carbo, Blinky Palermo, Pep

Barone, Sam Margolis, and Ash

Res-nic- k.

Carbo, who used to control boxing,
is serving 25 years sentence in a fed-

eral prison for extortion. Carbo was
linked with Liston before the monopoly subcommittee in 1960, headed by
Estes Kefauver, told Sonny to get rid
of his shady pals.
Palermo, Carbo's buddy, is appealsentence for extortion.
ing a
Pep Barone used to manage Liston. He was one of Palermo's front
men, and Sonny Liston still thinks he
brings him luck. Liston thought so
highly of Barone that he invited him
to Miami, where lie was training for
the Clay fight.
Sam Margolis, 50, pleaded guilty
in 1937 to operating a gambling house.
Since then he has been arrested on
gambling charges and for assault and
battery. Each time he was released.
What makes Margolis interesting is
that Liston gave him 225 of his 500
shares in International Promotions,
the outfit that promoted the Liston-Cla- y
fight. He supposedly got the
shares because he helped set up IP
and because Sonny likes him.
Ash Resnick is the "athletic director" of a Las Vegas gambling joint,
lie hung around Liston's training
camp and made sure everyone wore
his place's
Improper conduct?

The Decline Of Teaching: An Old Story
It's getting to be an old story in

the academic life, but the case of
Trofessor Woodrow Wilson Sayre is
St last bringing it to more general
attention.
Dr. Sayre is the assistant professor
of philosophy at Tufts University who
has been advised his contract for the
iiext academic year probably will not
be renewed; he has taught there since
1957. The reason is that, though he is
considered to have been effective in
the classroom, he has not published
enough scholarly works. The professor, who incidentally was one of the
lour amateurs in a near-tragi- c
assault
on Mt. Everest a couple of years ago,
js fighting the impending decision.
While we are not in a position to
judge the merits of this particular
case, it does reflect an emphasis on

he getting out of hand. That is true
not only in the teaching profession;
the pressure is felt in medicine and
other scientific disciplines. And now
that the government is so heavily involved in research of all sorts, the
fctrt ss on research is raising important
questions of public policy us well.
No one, we take it, opposes either
research or publication as such. Apart

irom contributions
tome universities believe that formal
research and the discipline of publishing findings in scholarly journals and

books may make a teacher's own
teaching more stimulating and significant for his students.
It is, rather, a matter of proportion. Many observers think that requiring a man's academic career to
depend on how much he publishes is
unfair to him, introduces an excessive
rigidity and causes a dilution of teaching. As Mr. Sayre sees it, this national tendency downgrades teaching
"by judging merit by such superficial
externals as publications, articles,
grants and fellowships." It risks putting quantity above quality.
What, after all, makes a good
teacher? Enthusiasm for the subject,
eloquence or at least ability to communicate effectively, genuine interest
in the minds of the young these are
a few characteristics. Formal research
may or may not aid a teacher; it
certainly cannot supply such individual talents where they are absent. In
Professor Sayre's words, "there is no
necessary logical connection between
the ability to publish and the ability
to teach."
If the "publish or perish" fetish can
work to the detriment of teaching, it
can also lower the quality of research,
paradoxical as that may seem. The
very necessity of publishing is bound
to mean that much research will be
undertaken which is marginal or
worthless.

Jacques Barzun, Columbia University's renowned provost, is one who
has long and forcefully argued research has been given such sacrosanct
status that it covers multitudes of
waste. It is not here a question of
whether the particular research has
any immediately evident application;
what is of concern is the proliferation
of petty, pedantic, silly projects.
With the rise of the foundations

and the Federal government, plus general affluence, there has never been so
much money to toss around on any- fhincr that ran narnr c lKelr in th - I

mantle of research. That is more likely to dissipate both the money and
the human resources than it is to add
to knowledge.
The intrusion of the Federal government is of special interest because
its money the taxpayers', that is
already finances the bulk of the nation's whole research and development effort. Among other potential
dangers, this circumstance places a
weighty additional premium on research, and that can only be at the
further expense of the art of teaching.
How a better balance might be
struck is naturally not easy to say. It
should be possible, though, for the
the
Federal government to
implications of its somewhat helter-skeltresearch activities. It should be
possible for college and university
administrators to encourage intelligent
research without making publication
the price of survival.
At least the publicity attending the
Sayre case may propel some needed
thought on a problem of growing importance. It will not serve the nation's future interest if it is permitting a decline in the quality both of
research and of education.
