The priest, speaking to an audi ence of about 70, said the opinions which youth considers new ideas are merely an undigested record of other men’s words. Until these “new ideas” have been balanced by years of experience, they can not demand the respect of the el der generation, he stated. Importance Not Realized A panel, composed of Prof. Rob ert Mickey of Franklin and Mar shall College; the Rev. E. A. de- Bordenave, rector of Christ Church, Philadelphia; Miss Jim mie Woodward, YWCA staff worker from New York City; A. Burris Chalmers of the American Friends Service Committee; Fath er Rice; and moderator Joan Hutcheon debated Father Rice’s estimate of youth as ardently as the audience. Young people are important, Miss Woodward said, but they don’t realize their own impor tance. Miss Woodward stressed the necessity of keeping free expres sion of ideas and presented the concept of the university as an arena for the discussion of ideas. Say Something—Woodward Explosion results from placing a damper on free expression, she said. Unless the university can be the battleground in the search for Truth, we have already lost the battle, she maintained. - Instead of fighting for the right to be heard, say something, Miss Woodward advised students. She said that to have something to say, students must push their in quiry past their textbooks. Professor Mickey agreed that constant “spouting off” will get the student nowhere in the pres ent world situation. The student must try to determine what is at stake in the present day crises. The integrity of the human being is at stake, Professor Mick ey said, because integrity in every form is challenged by com munism. - Greed For Power Father Rice returned to the floor to say that communism is capable of defeating capitalism and en slaving the human race for gen erations. The greed for power is greater than the greed for money, he said. The greatest evil in capi talism does not approach the evils in communism. “Communism,” the priest said, “is the first thing to offer a logi cal solution for every illogical thing it does.” PAGE FIVE
