Dr. Philip Klein, PoliSci Profs Agree Adams Had to Go By CAROL BLAKESLEE Three political science profes sors are in general agreement that Sherman Adams had no other choice but to resign his post as assistant to the President. Dr. R. Wallace Brewster, pro fessor of political science, was of the opinion that neither President Eisenhower nor Ad ams himself wanted Adams' dismissal. He said that the pressure brought to bear on Adams by state and national Republican leaders was the primary reason for Adams' re moval. He said that no one per son was responsible, but that the ousting came as a result of widespread demands. Dr. M. Nelson McGeary, head of the Department of Political Science, was more emphatic in his response, saying that Adams was "unbelievably stupid in ex pecting not to be censured." He affirmed Brewster's st at e ment that party pressure was chiefly responsible for the dismissal. Lee E. Cosier, associate pro fessor of political science, took a different view of the situa tion. Like McGeary and Brew BR Seeks Members Applications for the Associa tion of Independent Men Judicial Board of Review are available at the Hetzel Union desk.

However, in his opinion the whole affair was a very "sad dening" one for the morale of the country. He said that the President, what he does, and all those who surround him have become a symbol in the peoples' minds. Anything which "tarnishes" this image, he said, is detrimental to public feeling and reaction. In his opinion, it would be more "merciful and Christian to let Adams crawl off somewhere and lick his wounds." He said that everyone is entitled to make mistakes and that no government or its officials are ever perfect.

"We will seek help from outside founda tions, also." Klein said there would prob ably be no more than 250 stu dents eligible for the program. In order to select the students, he said, some sort of screening system would be set up and en trance would be on a volun tary basis. If a student enters the pro gram, he will receive rather special handling, Klein said, and he will not be bound by the regular curriculum. Individual departments, in cluding English and mathe matics, are now using sectioned classes in some of the basic freshman and sophomore sub jects. However, these are not under the same program being planned by the Senate com mittee.
