I saw some Communists helping deliver placards. . . . These are grown people, theyre not students . . . Thev have never denied that they are Communists, and they have been the leaders in the Communist group in Washington all the years Ive been here. civil-rightc- rs left-win- off-camp- us NOTRE DAME Ilcsburgh, president of Notre Dame, also declared that violence would not be tolerated on his campus. He announced early in 1969, that Father Theodore M. the administration, would enforce immediate, expulsion for anyone disrupting university operations at Notre Dame. As for rioters and violence, he had this to say: When moral persuasion and academic sanctions fail to deter those who show open contempt for the life style and selfdeclared values of the university community, there should be no hesitation to invoke whatever outside assistance is neccessarv. Father Ilcsburgh thought a few words should be said for the vast majority of students who do not riot and make impossible demands on the colleges which are trying to train them. Said he: "The vast majority of university and college students today are a very promising and highly attractive group of persons. They are more informed, more' widely read, better educated, more idealistic and more deeply sensitive to crucial moral issues in our times, more likely to dedicate themselves to good rather than selfish goals, than any past generation of on-the-sp- ot i 4 students I have known. Many of them are bothered by some aspects of American and world society and current values or the lack of them with good reason in most cases. They would work very hard, I believe, if given a real opportunity to participate in changing this world for the better. They would also find out how hard this is to do and would quickly discard some of their more naive present solutions to our problems BRIGHAM f t I A V I By Ogden Kraut In Paris, just slightly more than a hundred years ago, a small but YOUNG UNIVERSITY important group of french men met at the home of the noted professor and writer, Edouard de Laboulaye. With earnest enthusiasm Laboulaye talked of a monument that should be built as a symbol of the liberty which the Americans and the French loved so well. It should be a project combining the efforts of both When Erwin D. Canham of the Christain Science Monitor wTOte his article, he noted the tremendous advantage which universities enjoy if their students come to them already possessing a built-i- n sense of responsibilitv and a cultivated level of emotional maturity. To illustrate his point, he referred to the nations largest private university of 25.000 students, stating: Brigham Young University, in Provo, Utah, is a vast, swiftly growing institution under the control of Saints. Its the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y students are profoundly motivated by their religious President Ernest Wilkinson has committment. maintained firm standards of faculty control and student discipline.- His students, however, reflect tin mores of their faith in their daily lives. Among other things, they have-littl- e sympathy for conscientious objection. Many of them have served valiantly in recent U.S. wars. The Mormon Church also engages in extensive voulh activities. Its young men are inspired to spend two years of their lives in active missionary work, far from home and basically uncompensated by the church itself. Family units are zealously maintained in close relationship. Heligous discipline permeates all aspect of individual conduct. Although students of all races and creeds are welcome on the BYU campus, they must commit themselves to uphold the standards which have been set by the university for personal conduct. These standards include modest dress, neat grooming (no hippies), no drugs, no alcohol, no profanity, strict moral conduct and strict adherence to the studentbodys honor code.

Frederic Auguste Bartholdi listened intently to the impressive words. He was a young sculptor, and to him was to be given the task of designing this international colossus. It would be a token of friendship between the two countries and a symbol of freedom of all nations.
