C.BAUGHMAN Advisors ____ The year of 1968 saw an ex plosion of political awareness amcng young, educated and con cerned people like yourself. Your energies were released on the traditional political process. That enthusiasm• has not teen quelled or quieted. The emanci pation of political spirit is at times overly dynamic and explo sive at the expense of tolerance and reason. Deep concern tends at times to mute reflective consider ation. As student demands become greater, violence increases. Polar ization accents differences. Idea lism can become tainted with closed-mindedness. I would not urge inaction on You. I would not ask you to quiet Your cries. I would not tell you to dampen your idealism, I will urge you to listen to oth er voices. I will ask you to re ject violence. I will beg you to accept some realism. The crises that divide our na tion .are great burdens on every one. None of us escapes the ser iousness and magnitude of these problems. No one can or should propose or pretend to present easy solu titons. • Burning a building - , bombing a factory, stoning a college admin istrator. These are all easy solu tions.

The activist molds gut reactions into workable solutionS. The violent revolutionary al lows emotions to erupt into des truction, physical reactions. This, history tells us, is the quickest way to the suppression of free dom for all. Nihilistic instincts have always been a sideshow on the stage of change. They must not overcome the rational and realistic ap proach. No change comes easily in any society. There is no substitute for devotion and diligent acceptance of hard work. This nation is divided. Divided by age, sex, color and social stra ta. The generation gap has grown into a chasm. Polarization leaves no room for moderation. An intolerable level of intern.- perance and misunderstanding on all sides, has created a volatile atmosphere. It is wrong. It is leading us to disdain and distrust each other as Americans. It has come from high and low places, It has come from a great many Americans of varied and strong feelings. This rhetoric has inflamed and created a. heavy turbulence of hate, suspicion and mutual disrespect. These gaps must be closed. The differences must be min' imzed. The separateness of spirit must ey to support pace candidates in next fall's elections.
