Vietnam is the subject of much
controversy. For the issues involved
are of vital concern not only to us
but to much of the world.
The Vietnam debate does,
however, bring to surface a
dangerous tendency away from an
openminded approach concerning
political problems in our society.
With the McCarthy period still
fresh in the minds of many, we
find ourselves facing a new crisis
in Vietnam and the Johnson Administration demanding concensus
for its Vietnam policy without
responsible congressional debate.
At least partially as a result of this
and
there have been teach-in- s
demonstrations for and against the
Adminstration's policy.
We need look no further than our
.own campus for evidence of this.
In the eyes of many "communism"
has become synonymous with the
enemy. "Patriotism" has become
an excuse for not debating important public issues. Thus one who
dares to question Administration
policy is called a communist and
has cigarettes thrown at him. One
who refuses to sign a petition is
unpatriotic. This mentality which
sees only black and white is
frighteningly reminiscent of a
totalitarian state such as the Soviet
Union in which the people receive
"the truth" from the state and in
which there is a scapegoat for all
problems facing the nation.
The issues facing our nation
today are complex and deserve
careful study. Each American
citizen must liave the right to ex

'Publish And Tench'
In his recent Centennial lecture
on "Publish and Teach or Perish,"
Professor Louis Gordon spoke
eloquently of the scholar's ethos
encompassing both teaching and
research. That both are essential
components of the ethos is indisputable; it only remains for
individual scholars and university
cost accountants to assess their
ratio.
Distressing, however, was the
lecturer's rather cavalier treatment
of the relationship between "brainpower as a national asset" and our
nation's growth and development.
That many will benefit from such a
relationship is beyond doubt: the
