THE STUDENT REVOLUTION
THE STUDENT REVOLUTION
Judging by news reports, institutions of higher
education are rapidly becoming centers of chaos
and anarchy rather than cloistered centers of
learning. The exhibitionist tactics of dissenters
on the campus have certainly succeeded in one
respect. They have drawn the attention of mil-
lions of concerned citizens—millions of tax-
payers who are now asking, what is happening
at the nation’s universities and colleges?
Look magazine’s Senior Editor, Ernest Dun-
bar, summarized results of interviews with
campus newspaper editors, whose publications
represented . .a wide spectrum of schools,
reflecting all shades of academic, social and poli-
tical outlook.” It was felt these youthful editors
were in positions to report accurately on the
thinking of students all across the country.
In the main, thd interviews revealed what amounts
to a rebellion in thinking as well as action—
a rebellion that centers on the Viet Nam war,
a. desire for more student power and race re-
lations in the U. S. But, as Mr. Dunbar writes,
these specific issues seem to be closely re-
lated to . .a nameless malaise born of the
feeling among students that their personal des-
tinies are caught up in forces they cannot in-
fluence.”
By all odds, according to Mr. Dunbar,
Viet Nam is the source of greatest student
resentment. A young editor from Harvard Uni-
versity comments: “A lot of fellows feel they
shouldn’t be involved in the Army at all. .. .
They don’t feel that they have a responsibility
to the country because they don’t feel it’s their
country, that they are considered citizens of it
or respected.” Out of all the editors, only two
supported U. S. aims in Viet Nam.
What many will find to be most disturbing
in Look’s interviews with the student editors,
is the acceptance among college students of the
idea that if goals cannot be reached within
the framework of established rules and regula-
tions, then the rules must be broken. This ap-
plies to administrative regulations of univer-
sities, as well as to the laws of the land. On
the question of whether this extreme attitude
prevails among a majority of students, or whe-
ther it is encountered among only a few ex-
tremists, one editor notes, . .that while
student editors are taken at face value, dis-
content among students runs deep—discontent
with traditional educational philosophy, as well
as traditional religious and social concepts.
Perhaps one editor put his finger on the crux
of present student feeling with the comment,
"Most of our parents grew up in the Depression,
and they were really hurting. They are con-
cerned with money, status, and. they’re very
insecure. Most of us, on the contrary, grew
up in the most abundant society the world’s
ever seen. And to us, abundance and all the
trappings isn’t something to work for because
you have it. You’re used to it, it’s nothing.
So you start getting into human values because
you’ve gone beyond the security thing. And
our parents just can’t understand that.”
Admittedly, university and business lead-
ers have stressed the purely economic advan-
tages of a college education. They have tended
to emphasize the fact that in later life the
college graduate’s earnings are far above those
of the noncollege man or women. Education,
most assuredly, means more than the power
to earn money, and present day students can-
not be blamed entirely for being criticpl of this
limited view of the reason for going to col-
lege. On the other hand, it seems unlikely
that any generation can ignore with impunity
the accumulated wisdom and experience that are
the foundation of civilized society.
THE FEDERAL POWER Commission has
authorized for the first time, export of large
quantities of liquified natural gas (LNG). The
gas will be used to generate electricity, and
for resale to* residential commercial, and in-
dustrial customers.
THE AMERICAN RED CROSS noted that
nearly one-fifth of all Americans who died each
year by swallowing poison are small children too
young to read labels and of an age when they will
put anything in their mouths.

NEWSPAPERS
ARE SAYING..
THE DEATH PENALTY
Watching the U. S. Supreme
Court rewrite the nation’s law-
books is an interesting, if dis-
turbing, game these days. For
instance, take the decision on
juror qualification, which may
eliminate the death penalty for
capital crimes.
For years the judicial ac-
tivists on the court have been
removing more and more the
ability of the state to punish
criminals. The death, penalty
has been a favorite target. In
the past, it has been sidestep-
ped by rulings contending that
the defendant’s rights had been
violated in trial and that the
penalty could not be imposed.
The death penalty per se
has not been a matter for re-
view in the court. But Mon-
day, the activists had their
chance to change the law, and,
as expected, they did so in
reality if not in the statutes.
A person with conscientious
or religious scruples about the
death penalty cannot be excluded
from a jury for that reason
alone. To do so, said the court,
would be stacking the case
against the defendent.
In other words, because a man
has no scruples against capital
punishment, the court feels that
he is a blood-thirst threat to
the defendant. The court itself
is therefore prejudging pro-
spective jurors.
The broader implication in
the ruling is the court’s ap-
parent attitude toward punish-
ment for crime in general.
If a person who consci-
entiously cannot inflict the death
penalty, when the facts justify
such punishment, can serve on
a jury considering a case, it
would stand to reason that the
court would support jury ser-
vice for a person who does
not condone punishment of any
sort. In other words, the case
would be stacked against the
prosecution, which represents
the general public.
In dissenting, Justice Hugo
Black said, “If this court is
to hold capital punishment un-
constitutional, I think it should
do so forthrightly, not by mak-
ing it impossible for states to
get juries that will enforce the
death penalty.”
GOV. CONNALLY SPEAKS
Gov. John Connally urged
University of Texas students
Saturday to reject * 'a philoso-
phy of anarchy” in their quest
for a better world.
Speaking at commencement
exercises, Connally said.
“There is loose in our land
a philosophy alien to our way
of life, foreign to our traditions
and to our concept of a free
and democratic people - a phil-
osophy of anarchy. . .it is a
philosophy of lawlessness, of
violence, of destruction and
chaos. It is a denial of all we
hold dear and should be re-
jected out of hand.”
Connally told graduates, stu-
dents and faculty members they
must remember that Ameri-
cans live in a land of relative
freedom and opportunity.
“In a complex society and
world there cannot be absolute
freedom without certain anar-
chy.
“You have the potential to
eradicate hunger, disease and
drudgery. You can enrich, en-
large and lengthen the life of
man. By the same token, you
have the potential to destroy
utterly and totally this world
and all in it.”
Connally stressed that pro-
gress and freedom require sac-
rifices.
“Ultimately we shall be
judged by our willingness to
sacrifice all that we have, in-
cluding our lives, in resistance
to the tyranny of the military
aggressor, or mental enslave-
ment by the intellectually ar-
rogant or emotional entrapment
by the demagogue,” the gov-
ernor said.—Cecil Waggoner

THANK YOU, SENIORS
Denison High School seniors
used class funds to put this
message in a full-page adver-
tisement in the Denison Herald:
“We, the graduating class of
Denison Senior High School of
1968, wish to thank the follow-
ing for 12 years of education:
Parents, classroom teachers,
the school administration,
Denison Independent School
Board and all of the taxpayers.”
The expression of gratitude,
particularly by young people,
has become so rare we are
happy to thank the Denison sen-r
iors publicly. We hope they go
far. With this attitude, they
will.—Dallas Morning News.
PRIVATE ENTERPRISE GOT
We concur with Justice Black.
The major point of concern now
is when the court, flexing its
legislative muscles, will decide
that persons not believing in
punishment at all must be im-
paneled on a jury.
Under the guise of “rights”
and under the cover of ridicu-
lous technicalities, the Supreme
Court continues to encourage
lawlessness at a time when the
nation is disgusted with leniency
and the law-abiding are not se-
cure in their homes. This can-
not continue, and the court
should be the first to help cor-
rect the nation’s most serious
problem. — Dallas Morning
News.
TARNISHING AN IMAGE
A group of University ofTex-
as law students apparently have
flunked some lessons of their
learned professors; They be-
lieve a policeman should en-
force the law.
The group appeared before
the Austin City Council pro-
testing a protest by some UT
another stab in the back re-
cently when Dr. James L. God-
dard, commissioner of the Food
and Drug Administration, ex-
pressed belief that the corner
drug store should be closed.
While Dr. Goddard predict-
ed the demise of drug stores
in the next 20 years, druggists,
not to be outdone, called for
the good doctor’s Immediate
retirement.
It seemed a bit ridiculous
to pharmacists to close, down
53,000 drug stores serving
communities throughout the na-
tion and place this extra bur-
den of dispensing on doctors
and hospitals which have neither
the facilities nor desire to as-
sume this heavy responsibility.
Tragically, this kind of mud-
dled thinking is akin to the
brain storming that forced pri-
vate ambulance services out
of business and put the burden
on local governmental agencies.
It is the same kind of dis-
torted thinking that calls for
billions of more tax dollars
for blackmail money to fore-

Sue Allyn Stripling Wins De-
gree At Sixteen - Given nation-
wide publicity this week by the
University of Texas through
Associated Press, Miss Strip-
ling was acclaimed the youngest
woman ever to receive a de-
gree from the University of
Texas in all it’s 59 years. She
is the daughter of Dr. and Mrs.
A. A. Stripling of Nocona, and
was awarded her B. F. A. de-
gree with a major in drama.
According to information from
the University, Sue Allyn was
“held back” on account of her
extreme youth and was not al-
lowed to go ahead. If not for
this, she would have received
her degree in 1941.
Before entering the Univer-
sity of Texas, she attended
Trinity University at Waxaha-
chie where she achieved the
distinction of being placed on
the Dean’s list with no grade
less than A. At the time of
her enrollment, the 12 year
old lady was found to have
the highest I. Q. of any col-
lege freshman that year. It will
be remembered that she grad-
uated as the youngest high
school graduate in the nation
at the age of 11 and did so
as the valedictorian of her
class.

Field Tour Al
Frail Station
On June 28ih
Persons interested in fruit
production are invited to attend
a field tour of the Montague
Fruit Research - Demonstra-
tion Station on June 28.
U. A. Randolph, Associate
horticulturist in charge of the
Station, has announced plans
for the tour. Only one tour,
it will last for about two hours,
is scheduled to begin at 9 a. m.
Randolph said he hoped to
have trailers available for
transporting visitors and the
county agents would assist with
the activities.
Points of interest to be visit-
ed on the Station Include sev-
eral peach varieties with ripe
fruit, peach irrigation test,
week control with herbicides
in peach and apple orchards,
apple varieties, some matur-
ing; peach thinning, and the
peach and apple expansion pro-
gram.
Persons on the tour will have
an opportunity to ask questions
dealing with work on the Sta-
tion and also about problems and
opportunities for expanding
fruit production in the area.
For control of peach tree
borers, two applications of Di-
eldrin spray may be used, Coun-
ty Agent Frank Bumpus said.
The first should be applied in
early June and the second in
mid-August. Use 3 lb. of 50%
Dieldrin wettable powder per
100 gal. wafer (1 tablespoon
per 3 gallons water). The spray
should be applied to runoff point
on the trunks from ground line
to about twelve inches high or
the crotch. Take extreme care
to prevent contamination of the
fruit.
Cotton was known
throughout the world by
1500.
