Thought Control
Its a shame that the “Rose Bowl" of debate tournaments
won't be held this year because the national debate topic is one
of current government policy.
W e think the subject of Red China’s admission to the United
Nations, is an excellent topic on which to debate and are sorry
that neither the L nited States Military academy nor the Naval
academy may debate the topic.
West Point has for years been host to the West Point
National Invitational Debate tournament. This year the
tournament will probably not be held because the two
national academies can not debate an established public
policy of this nature.
We are sorry to see this situation arise, but we don't think
the academies are trying to promote thought control of a
dictatorial nature upon the rest of the debating schools.
It has. we understand, long been the policy at West Point
not to discuss politics in class rooms and during class times.
Any political conversations must be carried on by the cadets
during off-duty hours. The military academies’ purpose is to
train soldiers—officers. A soldier’s job is to carrv out orders
of the government, to enforce governmental policies.
So, apparently, the academies’ policy is just that. They can
not question the wisdom of the government’s decision once
it has been made.
We don’t agree that this policy is good for any other
institution of higher learning, on the contrary we feel it is
very bad. Only in a country where there is criticism and
debate on governmental policies can democracy exist.
But we can understand the attitude of the academies. We
wonder if this is the best possible way to educate American
citizens no matter what their future careers or occupations.
Whether we agree or not, this is the policy of West Point
and Annapolis.
We hope some other school will be able to host a tournament
similar to the West Point tournament this year, and we hope
to see the cadets debating next year again.—(J.W.)

Letters to the Editor
Editorial Independence
Emerald Editor:
I have just seen for the first
time the endorsement which
my Senatorial candidacy re
ceived from the Emerald be
fore the Nov. 2 election. As a
former editor of the Emerald,
may I express my appreciation
- editorial endorsements were
few and far between for the
Democratic Senatorial nominee
in Oregon!
I think this show of editor
ial independence on the part of
the staff of the Emerald Is ex
tremely encouraging. In the
campaign just concluded. I -
had the support of three daily
papers—the Pendleton East
Oregonian, Medford Mall-Tri
bune and Coos Bay Times. All
other papers in the state. In
cluding the Oregonian and the
Journal, opposed me—some of
them highly unfairly, not only
in my opinion but in the esti
I
mate of many of UiHr (jwnf
staff monitors.
It is not without significance
that I received a substantial
majority In Multnomah county
despite the unrelenting oppo
sition of the two dailies whose
circulations spread-eagle that
area.
I believe that editorial in
fluence and prestige will be
restored in America when (1)
papers are not automatically
Republican and (2) they are
not automatically conserva
tive. Papers like the New York
Times. St. Louis Post-Dispatch
and Christian Science Monitor
have influence because their
readers realize that the edi
torial decisions of these papers
are Teached after careful
analysis and not through habit
or economic pressure.
Thanks again for the Emer
ald's support!
