JUST AT the crucial period when the University is progress ing into a position of strength throughout the state, there is grow ing up within the institution a condition that we hate to see, for it bodes evil- We mean an era of bad feeling between students and fac ulty. We have broached the matter for editorial purposes with va rious members of the faculty, but we have been greeted and answered —all in one—by a cross between a smile and a shrug of the shoulders. If the faculty has nothing up its sleeve there is at least a manifesta tion of something that the students as a whole do not like. And what is the cause of this era of bad feeling? It is easy to analyze. First, there came the talk of a ban on intercollegiate ath lectics. Out of that grew the suspension of basketball, which the student body was disposed to take in a fairminded way. The latest twist is the pending action on the student body tax; shall it be com pulsory or voluntary. The students expressed themselves firmly on the matter and still there are echoes that indicate that the matter is not yet buried. Sifting it to its fundamentals, we find it another subtle attack on intercollegiate athletics. The question is, where does the faculty get the power that they have arbitrarily takeiY into their hands? From what we can hear on the outside, faculty meetings arc ateern with projects of student body reform. And along with the faculty, as a kind of weather vane, marches a certain class of students who have no sympathetic exist ence with the student body. There are divinity students, special stu dents and relations of faculty members—nearly all of them older and with a thwarted viewpoint and a narrow, impractical philosophy that they call altruism and social reform. The general attitude of the students is, what’s going to hap pen next, and along with that there is manifesting itself from day to day a spirit of militancy. There is talk of a revolt from the more excitable, and an attitude of watchful waiting from the more com plaissant. Where there is smoke there is a possibility of fire, and surely there will come a time when student sentiment will break out in op position to the extreme paternalism that the faculty seems bent on creating and fostering. It seems to us that the faculty surely has problems of its own that are worthy of solution without intruding on the ground of student matters. Students, formerly very conservative, are expressing them selves radically these days. Imagine what the radicals are doing and thinking? Thomas Jefferson said that the best government is one which governs least, and, so too, we think that the best faculty is one that governs least. ♦ I * CAMPUS NOTES *| — —,—,— — ★ Mrs, Hcorgc \V.
