Campus of Disaster?
It has been truthfully said that those who do not
learn from history are doomed to repeat it. And so, let
us hope, the University of Texas students will heed the
lessons of recent history and the advice of the UT adminis
tration.
The nature and aims of the organization known as
the Students for a Democratic Society should be evident,
particularly to students on the Austin campus. The great
majority of students who have gone to the University
of Texas in search of an education, rather than self-drama
tization, must have learned to spot a phony issue.
The SDS and its little band of headline-hunters have
attempted to balloon their peevish defiance of the adminis
tration into a great confrontation between freedom and
oppression. Those who know the SDS, its record and the
facts of the current affair owe it to themselves to stop
and think: Is this truly the armageddon of human rights
or merely a tantrum thrown by those who yearn for the
role of self-made martyr?
Chancellor Harry Ransom and Frank C. Erwin, chair
man of the board of regents, have acted to prevent the
SDS from dragging the university into a Berkeley-style
fiasco. This is an important part of the administrative
task given them by the people of Texas. And, in doing
their best to carry out this task, they deserve the full
support of all those who have helped to build the Univer
sity of Texas and of the millions whose taxes now main
tain it.

“How much grade credit is a student’s overwhelming in
terest in your excellent course worth?
The issue at stake here is not freedom of speech or
freedom of assembly, but as Erwin has said, centers on
“the right of the university to make regulations and en
force them.”
Erwin declared, “Let’s not turn this campus into a
disaster . . . SDS is not entitled to any higher privileges
than other campus groups. We beg you not to create
another Berkeley. If you do, we don’t have to have 27,000
students at this university.”
Any community, including a community of scholars,
must have rules. And, when a willful minority is able
to break these rules with impunity, that community is
headed for anarchy.
It is clear that the administration is determined to
ensure that the university will remain a university and
not become a carnival of civil disobedience. In this, we
believe, the administrators are carrying out the wishes
of the people of this state. If there are those who are
unable to accept the necessity for rules, they are free
to leave.
But if the dissident students choose to remain at the
university in order to make it a backdrop for their version
of the Berkeley disaster, they should be expelled. Erwin
told the students that, if this is the choice they make,
“you and I both will live to regret it.”

AUSTIN (A*)—Chancellor Har
ry Ransom said Wednesday that
recent threats against him and
his family will not alter his stand
on prohibiting unauthorized meet

a lengthy statement.
“I AM NOT willing to buy an
illusion of local academic calm
and tranquility at the cost of
flouting national, state or local

cism of the university adminis
tration during recent campus
demonstrations.
