After officers were elected, mem.

Dewey Sheffield and R. Lester
Harris, president and secretary,
respectfully, of the Wilson County
unit of YDC, attended the meet

ed. Mr. Sheffield explained to the

USF Fires Three
Student Officers
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. —
Three students at the University of
San Francisco have been fired
from their positions in the last
we(.‘k. The three are: G. Edward
Stephen, former editor of the uni
versity newspaper, the “Fog
horn;” Mike Kunath, former head
yell leader; and Leland Vanden-
dale, former editor of the USF liter
ary magazine.
Stephen was dismissed Oct. 5.
The official reason for their firing
was “possession of alcoholic bev
erages on campus,” but a variety
of other reasons have been offered
as the true casuses of their dis
missals.
San Francisco metropolitan
Newspapers have claimed that it
was differences over “philoso
phies,” not alcohol, which led to
Stephen’s dismissal. Stephen him
self offers a different cause.
According to Stephen, he was dis
missed because he refused to co
operate with the university’s dis
ciplinary board. He claims he was
not asked if he had consumed any
alcoholic beverages, but whether
or not he knew who had. The board
was brought to ask him the ques
tion after two empty beer bottles
were found in the office of the
“Foghorn.” Stephen also stated to
the USF student legislature that
no definite proof of the charge had
been established.
The reasons for Kunath’s dismis
sal are even vaguer. Kunath said
he felt he was fired because of “a
string of minor offenses linked to
gether to indicate irresponsibility.”
TTie Dean of Students, Father
Francis T. Moore, says Kunath was
dismissed because he urged fresh
men to participate in more activi
ties during initiation that the reg
ulations allow, and that other per
sonal reasons played a role.
The only one oi the firings which
seems not to have led to any ques
tions about its causes is that of
Vandendale. He and university of
ficials agree that he was fired be
cause of public criticism of the
administration.

We urge all Democrats to join with
us, for there is no better way of
learning the functions of our gov

pressure group or party — prefer
ably the YDC.”
Miss Freedman, first vice presi

ly pleased at the large turnout and
amount oi enthusiam that was
shown. She announced that a mem
bership drive would begin immedi
ately and that plans are being
made to send delegates to the par
ty convention to be held in Durham
Nov. ^11.
Dr, Troutman, .sponser for the
club, had these remarks to make
about the newly formed YDC: “I
welcome the interest shown by the
'foung DemoLrats in organizing
their club. Unless I over estimat
ed the determination of the stu
dents present tonight, the Young
Democrats will make a big differ
ence in politics on this campus and
in the entire region.
The next meeting of the Young
Democrat Club will be held on
Thursday, Oct. 26, at 8:30, in room
206 in the classroom building. All
students who are interested in join
ing are cordially invited to attend
this meeting.

Young Republicans Name
New Slate Of Officers
National Student Group
Is Planning Conference
Probably never before in history'
have such diverse and pressing de
mands been made on the United
States educational system. Inter
national tension, the world wide
revolutionary effects of the emer
gence of under-developed nations
and domestic crises such as the
phenomenal increase in enroll
ments and consequent shortage of
teachors require a re-evaluation of
contemporary education.
For this reason, the United States
National Student Association wiU
hold a conference on the “Aims of
Education,” Nov. 17-19. The con
ference is supported by the John
son Foundation, and will be held
at the Foundation’s Wingspread
conference facilities near Ra
cine. Wis.
Since the conference will include
students, faculty, and administra
tors, it should be particularly
fruitful. The varied backgrounds
and concersn of the individual par
ticipants should contribute to con
structive criticism of contempora
ry educational participants should
contribute to constructive criticism
of contemporary educational goals
and problems as well as construc
tive proposals for future changes
and reforms.
The conference will cover four
main topics:
1. What are the aims of educa
tion? Discussion of this subject re
quires an attempt to define the
term “education.”
2. What should te the aims of
education? It is important to dis
cover if there are any permanent
goals which education can set for
itself, or if the aims of education
must be changed as the times
change. It will also be important to
distinguish between an ideal educa
tion and the education which can
actually be attained in the face of
modi fying social, political and
economic forces.
3. Is American education capa
ble of taking the necessary steps to
improve itself? Can it. in fact,
provide the leaders to deal with the
international and domestic prob
lems America must face?
4. What is and should be the role
of students in defining and attain
ing the aims of education? Because
USNSA is particularly interested
in and concerned with the stU'
dent’s participation in the educa
tional process, the emphasis here
wUl be on the student’s concern
and responsibility for charting edu
cational goals, and the desirability
and potential for including stu
dents in the discussion and imple
mentation of educational policies.
Application forms are stiU avail
able from student body presidents,
USNSA campus coordinators and
the national office in Philadelphia.
They must be returned to the na
tional office not later than Oct. 15.
