WASHINGTON REPORT
Congressman Edwin D. Eshleman
Mill Ol>lrlet-P«nniylvanla
Spiing alwa.is has been that
time of veat when ceit.un stu
dent excesses aie visible on the
college campus These rites of
the season in veais past have not
been malteis of Congressional
concern University admimstia
tors and faculties proved capable
of dealing with water wars, panty
raids and other youthful pranks
However, during the last two
spring semesteis violent and ir
responsible activity has been ob
seived on campuses across the
Nation The Congress has become
quite justifiably distuibed by
this development, particularly
since the reaction of some col
lege officials in the face of the
crisis has resembled that noi
mally associated with reproach
ing a panty raid In many cases,
student demonstrations have
been answeied with outright cap
itulation by the Administrations
America must restoi e order in
its colleges or face the loss of
academic freedom, not to men
tion some other fundamental
lights such as freedom of speech
and assembly The question is
whether our universities and
colleges are going to let violently
militant minorities, black and
white, devalue the quality of
highei education or perhaps de
stroy the institutions themselves
The crisis is not one that is
easily resolved It is true that
government could step m with
a show of force that would re
stoi e order of a type My hope,
however, is that such repressive
action will not be needed since
it would tend to destroy the
ability of our colleges to fulfill
their role as centers of reason in
a free society, I would prefer to
see our university faculties deve
lop solutions themselves which
will guarantee that irrational
students are properly held re
sponsible for their unreasonable
acts. Surely, the scholars can
recognize that the challenge pre
sented them is the same that
daily deteimines the survival ot
society Surely, the academic
community, which for so long
has delighted m telling the Con
gress how to run the countiy,
can take control of events with
in its own jurisdiction The ac
tions of government can cooidin
ate and supplement those of cam
pus authouties, but if education
is to have any meaning to futuie
generations at all, the answeis to
internal questions involving aca
demic matters should come fiom
within the university
There is a parallel worth not
ing as we seek the needed lem
edies for the problems in higher
education Back in the 1930’s the
academic world was shocked, as
jackbooted students ran rampant
through German universities.
This trouble was paitially ex
plained away as unfoitunate but
excusable since it was only con
cerned adolescents protesting
the social injustices brought on
by an oppressive peace treaty
However, then acts doomed not
only Geiman schools, but free
dom as well Today, we also hear
talk of unfortunate but excusable
attacks by idealistic students As
they flout authority without fear
of repumand They, too, aie
taking the univeisity down the
road of possible self-destruction
The student demonstiators
seek violence in the name of
legal dissent, m reality, the light
to dissent rapidly is being de
stiny ed, and the rule of law is
being leplaced with lule by
muscle Congiess has detei mined
that the pattern shall not be per
mitted to continue, foi lawless,
coercive foices. no mattei what
their objective, threaten the sur-1
vival of free society Now it is
necessary that campus officials!

• FINEST SERVICE. ANYWHERE •
In speaking of his feeding
program, Mr. Keener said, "I
have had good success with this
feed (Green Pastures 604 pel
lets) since putting my steers on
it when it came out about 5 or
6 years ago. I believe the rate of
gain shows that it is doing the
job. Also, Miller & Bushong
have always given good service,
and the salesman* Ed Snavely,
is a nice fellow to deal with.”
