December 4, 1962 After discussing the advisability of sending an address list to the Book of the Month Club as they requested, it was decided it would be better to post their address so thnt interested students could contact them. This will prevent students names from being included on many other mailing lists. Tom Hood, IK' Duke, re- minded the group that anyone wishing to have a notice posted on the IK Bulletin Board should leave their notice at Mrs. Symes desk and it will be taken care of. In order to promote more interest and participation in S.GA.r. meetings, a copy of the agenda will be posted on the IK Board south of the gym. Students should check this board for the coming events and attend the S.G.A.C. meetings to find out more about them. December 11, 1962 A, proposal was made by Sharon Pratt that girls should lie permitted to wear casual clothes in the library. The motion passed. John King presented a proposal suggested by a number of responsible students for a -- Indent Court to decide upon disciplinary matters. This court would be made up of students and faculty members. During the discussion it was mentioned that the court would give the students a greater understanding of administrative policies in such matters. The group decided to adopt the motion for further investigation. President Pinkerton Academic Freedom? by Chuck Akerlow It would seem to follow that a free society is built upon free men. Free men depend upon freedom of thought and inquiry. And freedom of thought a liberal If it is depends and inquiry develop education. so that a free society upon free men, then a great burden has fallen upon the colleges and universities of this nation. The bur- den is a cate for responsibility to edufreedom. That is, to create free men in a free atmosphere. This can only be done by creating a climate for learni- and lack of single purpose. I submit the last is desirable. A hegemony of thought and purpose is easy to fell because it is more vulnerable. A complexity of thought and purpose is more difficut to attack because of its many surfaces. Academic freedom can only produce this . latter result. Only students who have learned in a free atmosphere, undeterred by administrative control or strict teacher observation, can become the principal pillaj-- upon which this free society rests. s ng that will produce an inquiring mind. Students need to grow in an atmosphere that imposes no restraint. They need to wander through the library or laboratory in search of what they can find. They can not be told where to look and more important what to avoid. They must be able to' exercise independent judgment and responsibility through student activities.
