He firmly emphasizes, however, that faculty personnel are employees of the university who have been hired to provide a particular service." They are not to presume that they are administering anything othe than their own field of academic service. They can make recommendations, but decisions are the prerogative of the administrative officers appointed the board of trustees or board of regents. Dr Wilkinson believes that much of the confusion on many campuses today is due to the fact that administrators no longer feel that they have the authority or the support to act decisively. RYU. has a substantial salary schedule will liberal fringe benefits for its staff. However, every faculty member is hired and paid exclusively, on merit, not according to a wage scale. All salariesconfidential. Another surprise, at RYU is that none of the faculty have tenure. New contracts are issued every year. When asked why the faculty members seem to make no objection to this procedure, President Wilkinson stated, We never worry alxmt tenure. A good teacher doesnt need it. A poor teacher doesnt deserve it. J V meet: SUNDAY RIDDLE of Salt Lake City Before CONCERNED Although RYU has a broad spectrum of both liberal and conservative philosophies represented among its faculty and students, there is no effort to make room for the advocates of violence and revolution. SDS (Students for a Democratic Society) was catagorical-l- y refused a place on the campus. So was the Peace and Freedom Party and other extremist groups. Dr. Wilkinson said the administration has a responsibility to prohibit any organization from forming on campus which has as its object the subverting of those education objectives which the RYU was set up to teach. , (Continued from page 10) This bill, regardless of its authors, gives power to the State Board of Education and is destructive of the goals and purpose of private eduve cation. There is nothing said of the parents role in all of this, and yet parents are the ones who choose to send their children to nonpublic schools because they are enthusiastic enough about that quality of education to pay tui- lie does not believe academic freedom includes the right to destroy freedom. And he believes university presidents are appointed to eliminate from the free academic community any propagandist or pundit tvho would destroy other people's freedom. Dr. Wilkinson g lumps the criminal mentality and the revolutionary in the same category. Rut he would punish the revolutionary more severely. He has stated publicly that any student or faculty member who wants to overthrow the United States government by violence should get his revolutionary dreams fulfilled by having his citizenship revoked. Erwin Canham concluded his Christian Science Monitor article as follows: The religious precepts accepted at Brigham Young are carried out in institutional policy by President Wilkinson. He believes that proper university management can minimize what he calls anarchy. He feels the notion that universities are enclaves or sanctuaries should be dissipated; that taxpayers have a right to intervene through legislatures; that trustees need to be more active and should delegate power to presidents rather than to faculty committees; that faculties should lc under better control and more heavily focused on teaching, that rigorous discipline should be restored; that schools should not close early or give credit for courses not completed; that courts and judges should be more sdvere with students; that there ought to be better business management of institutions of learning. Such are the voices which are now arising on the horizon of America's campus communities. As a few have the courage to speak out, others will follow. Hundreds of police officers who have been killed or injured combating campus riots could have been largely spared their ordeal had these firm voices been typical of university leadership rather than the exception. The new trend cannot help but be warmly welcomed by American law enforcement as something which has been long overdo. In our next issue we will deal with one of the most perplexing aspects of the entire cultural crisis. We will tangle with the question: Why do some of the richest people in America support revolutionary viofreecjom-destroyin- tion in addition to taxes, Reverend Fitzgerald said. Because of the committee being pressed for time, Mr. Keith E. Belnap, of Bountiful, Utah, speaking in opposition to the bill as a private citizen, was not permitted to present all of his prepared remarks. He pointed out, however, that the public school system is a powerful institution and that regardless of the intent of the bill the result would be to give the State even move power over our private lives.
