Show Quick Exodus University Assessed staff or wake up to the reality of the utility and purpose of the Chronicle. That man had to be right. There is little need for the sidelines quarterback quar-terback or the available critic. He had to be right. Talk is cheap. By KAY ISRAEL A wise old man who had exiled himself on a high mountain top in Tibet was asked recently to assess the true spirit of the University of Utah. His answer, three words, explains the true situation as many might see it. His answer: "Talk y' rv,. is cheap." fr&tyk He must nave f 'M na( several well W J99SJ4 placed points to m fe V argue from be-i be-i " ' ' '.' cause they are , - becoming more and more appar- - ent cn our cam- pus. One example would be the talk Kay Israel that seems to have grown among the new left group that seems to be stationed somewhere between the Huddle and the McCarthy teie-lecture. This is the group that believes that America Amer-ica should show its conscience and face the moral arguments against Vietnam. This is the group whose only criticism against McCarthy is his weak civil rights stand. This also happens to be the same group that all too often will pass by a booth trying to raise funds to take a positive step for civil rights, the SEEK booth in the Huddle Hud-dle ticket area. Cough, Cough It amazes me that individuals can expouse so much and cough up so little. On the other hand we have the new right. Word has it that some of them while trying to claim that they are being persecuted on campus. cam-pus. ("They keep on tearing our posters down. I bet it's the Rockefeller Rocke-feller people.") They, according to an usually reliable source seem to be tearing down what the opposition op-position is putting up. In truth it could be that neither camp is in the business of tearing down their opposition even sym bolically, but then it makes one wonder about the average intellect of a student that can't stand the sight of a picture of an individual that may have different views. It doesn't speak well for this campus' tolerence level. Muffle, Muffle A great deal of talk is also made on the need for freedoms given to students. ASUU, the cry usually goes, is nothing more than a puppet for the administration. Yet upon declaring their independence from the administration there was little if no response. Freedom of the press is also a glittering generality people love to argue for, but this is only as long as it is for our side or our use. The battle of the April Committee of. last fall shifted to a honeymoon when publicity was reeded. The barbs thrown at the Chrony about its factual inaccuracies in the winter win-ter by various individuals seems to be long forgotten as elections and the possibility of unfavorable editorials edi-torials seems to loom over their heads. Real Voice? Last year the primary criticism of the Chrcny was that it didn't represent rep-resent the true student opinion. Now it has an editor that has the same political leanings that the school has, the other group starts crying that the paper doesn't represent rep-resent the real student voice. That man in the Himalayas must have known what he was talking about. Talk on this campus is cheap. Those espousing concern on civil rights could and should be able to afford a few farthings for SEEK. The rightists on this campus cam-pus could find the culprits without making accusations. Those writing letters to the editor could remember remem-ber that the same privilege allowing allow-ing their letter to be ran is also applied to columnists. Those criticizing criti-cizing the failure of the Chrony to be the symbol of united will on campus could either get on the |
