Whether you agree or disagree our columns, under “The People Write” heading, are open for you to express your own opinion. On Understanding Youth Today Ministers, editors, those past their mid-thirties, and most of official Wash ington seem to be having their troubles when it comes to understanding what makes the current college generation of boys tick. The fact that a few thousand immature boys want to say no to Uncle Sam seems to have caused a minor furor. A review of recent American history would show that what has happened is not too surprising. The draft was needed to mount World War 11, and the Korean War and at the rate the Viet Nam war is “escalating” it will consume most of the patriotism that impels young men to volunteer for war. Let’s consider the viewpoint of some of the young men who might have come from the rural quiet of the Roanoke- Chowan area. On the college campus they are being told for the first time that what they think and what they do are of importance to the whole world. After years of the close dictates of parents, teachers and their local leaders, this thought is almost overwhelming. They are at a point in life where they can see a bright future even if they can’t anticipate all of the children they will raise and the time payments they will make. The very idea of submitting to more years of regimentation is objectionable to them, especially the idea that they might die in a land they don’t know for an idea that they don’t understand. If this attitude shocks you, you should remember that they were not here when Winston Churchill came to Fulton, Missouri and warned that Rus sian intentions were not all they seemed in the first breather of the World War II peace period. They would not have been old enough to remember the Russian intervention in Greece or the Hungarian rebellion. The lessons of history are for mature people and the right of youngsters to think, debate and act is not an automatic guarantee of wisdom. For those who are concerned, let them reflect that there are not many draft card burners, as there were not many defectors in Korea in spite of the furor that 37 traitors caused. When the draft call comes, most of these boys will go peacefully and serve well. Under the “G.I. Bill” the students who came back from the wars were a quite different breed from the boys who went off to war. Most of them were draftees and not volunteers. Their maturity showed on the campus and in some ways they were more men of the world than were some of the professors. Unfortunately, the German, Jap anese and Russian boys were just as patriotic and dependable as their American counterparts; but they had little or nothing to say about how the world was to be run. The fact is that most boys on col lege campuses have no doubts that the United States is motivated in what it does by ingrained moral precepts. Those who are still at home or working in a local store or plant have the same vague understanding of what it is we are try ing to do in this troubled world. Youth will survive these growing pains, as will the nation, and in fact they are the ones who will be asked to go and risk death. They do have some rights in the matter.
