As souls, youth are important, but their opinions, which neces

Rice said.
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.”
