Opposition to Mass Education
Mr. Chidsey was asked if he ap-
proved of a current educational pro-
posal to double the college enroll-
ment in order to have a better edu-
cated America. Mr. Chidsey express-
ed concisely the reasons for his op-

position to this program. He pointed
out, "with every marked variation
in college enrollment, there is a
necessary revision of academic
standards. The doubling of enroll-
ment in colleges would require a
lowering of their standards."
He thinks that vocationalism
would creep into the American col-
leges. Mr. Chidsey believes that voc-
ational training should be confine^
to vocational schools and has no
place in higher education. Mr. Chid-
sey states, "the purpose of higher
education is not to train students to
get jobs, but fo give them flexibility
of concepts." Mr. Chidsey concludes
as an alternative to this movement
that high school standards should be
raised, and then colleges would not
be so necessary.

fic in his stand on these issues.
Also, Mr. Truman entered the
campaign as the underdog and as
such gained public sentiment. The
positibn of the weaker man appeals
to the American public. The people
want to see him win, and it will
allow that person more liberty in
conducting his campaign.
Mr. Truman hit below the belt, but
the voters admired his spirit and
courage in waging the battle against
almost unsurmountable odds. In
waging a dynamic, hard-hitting
campaign the President typified the
American ideal of the political can-
didate.
Another reason for his victory
may be derived from the attitude
that most polls and magazines took
toward Mr. Truman's election. To
the voter, it might have seemed that
the cards were being stacked against
the President, that the election was
being decided before Novembr 2nd.
Remember, the United States is sov-
reign. No election is decided until
after the votes are counted.
The States' Righters essentially
achieved their objective, that of
breaking the Solid South. This was
the only party with a definite set
of well defined principles. They were
applied, however, to a sectional situ-
ation and they should be expanded to
encompass the United States. The
speeches made by third party candi-
dates were definitions of fundamen-
tal positions, while those of the Re-
publican and Democratic parties
were based on issues designed to
capture votes. This States' Rights
movement, on a more liberal scale,
deserves support, and if the National
Democrats ignore this party they
will do so at great cost. The States
Rights Party has polled more vote#
than any other third party since 1860
and their problem now is one of ex-
pansion; the continued existence of
this party is assured.
The Progressive Party, strongly
centered about on the man, is dead.
The basic distinction of this party
was a diffeernce in foreign policy.
When the need for such a policy dis-
-appears the adherent to the Progres-
sive Party will return to one of the
older parties.
