Mandwints. a success. There was
a Iar;e crowd,, it was an attentive
crowd., the speaker was excellent,
and the hot dos ran out all sii;ns
of a successful et-together.
Members of the Voimi; Men's

joo-person-plus turnout.
The YWCA and YMCA were
ise in selecting as their speaker
.Dr. IJernard lioyd of the Universi
ty's Dept of Religion. Here's why:
The present college generation,
no matter Avhat von call it, is some
what cynical. It will not sit be
neath Davie Poplar and listen to an
can;clist preach. Instead, it will
-laught and walk away.
An evangelist did not preach un
der Daie Poplar Thursday even

college jeople and the way their
minds work.
It will be good if the Y groups

Dr. lioyd understands them, when

One thing,- however, bothered
many people at the party under
the poplar.
A speaker on the program, ex
plaining his feelings about relig
ion, said it "takes guts" to express
oneself on such a subject.
We disagree. When the Chris
tians were thrown into the arena
with the lions, it took gut's to
pledge themselves to their form. of
religion, lint now, in the college
community (even though it is, in
general, somewhat synical toward
religion), it takes no guts to be a
Christian.

Hoth the United v States and
Great Britain have been recent
recipients of Russian charges, of
.spying.
In the case of the United States,
it was an "underground tunnel
which the Fast German Russians
said wis built bv American spies.
The tunnel, inspecting newsmen
n ported, tan to the west" in the di
rection of A U. S. building desig
nated as a radar shack. The Russ
ians said the tunnel contained
U. S. equipment, for tapping Com
munist telephones.
Great Britain was indicted by
the Russians yesterday for "shame
ful underwater espionage" against
the cruiser .that carried two top
Russian officials on a visit to Fniz
land. British frogman Lionel (Bus
ter) Crabb swam out and disap
peared last month near the cruiser.
Nikita Khrushchev and Nikolai
Bulganin were passengers on the
craft.
In both cases U. S. and British
officials have kept mum. The
Last Germany tunnel was never
adequately explained. Prime Min
ister F.den,' according to a wire
service, "steadfastly refused" to
give out details of the frogman's
death., '
It is the duty of democratic coun
tries to explain immediately such
incidents. If they do not, the
United States 'and' Great Britain
stand open-mouthed in the middle
of a stream of Soviet propaganda.
Not only other nations will won
der if we and the -English have
been spying; citizens of America
and Great Britain want to know,
too.
If we have spied, let us admit it
and take the blame. If we haven't
let us say it and quit looking fool
ish in the eyes of other nations.
THE PRESENT SOCIAL PROBLE

Dr. Alex Heard
(Yesterday, in the first in
stalment of Dr. Heard's speech
. to the Duke University Divini
ty School, the question ivas
asked: Why have the universi
ties not risen vrith "contrac
tive action or persuasive voice?"
in the present social crisis,
thq.t of segregation-integration.
In this, the last instalment,
Dr. Heard gives his ansicer.)
t
We must look for the answer
within the universities not out
side them. We must look to the
students, the faculties the admin
istrative officers and the govern
ing boards. For it is the task of
universities in their unique ways
to, serve and to survive in or
der to serve, the society of which
they are a part.
If a university is .not effective,
it must create the conditions
that would make it so. This is
part of being a university to
protect itself and advance itself
in the ace of antagonism to the
idea of a university. It was ever
thus, from the 12th century to
the 20th.
INERTIA '
I have shearched long in this
problem, and I think there are
three matters that contribute
chiefly to the inertia and the
silence.
(1) There is the matter of
competence to address oneself
in an informed and sophisticated
way to the range of problems in
volved in the crisis. r
(2) There is a matter of con
fidence to express oneself free
ly about, the matters on which
one is competent, without fear of
penalty.
(3) There is a great confusion
that arises in the thinking of
faculty members out of a con
scientious concern for the tac
tics' of public controversy. They
enter the political arena, con
sciously enough, but at the same
time leav? the university arena,
without realizing it.
eluding questions of suffrage.
He was quite explicit about it.
, His trustees would he gravely
concerned were any publication
connected with their university
to be critical of the political
practices of their state and sec
tion. The result: A copy of all
draft manuscript was funnelled
to the president for his examina
tion and comment.
This is simply one form and
one result of lack of confidence
in the idea of the university. A
faculty member did not trust his
president. A president did not
trust his board. A board member
did not trust the public.
FORCE "''
The pressures and sanctions ev
ident in these illustrations pos
sess a.powful steering force over
the directions that Individuifs
and institutions take in their ex
ploraton of the unknown. ;
These influences drive inquiry
away from the most sensitive sub
jects, instead of inviting inquiry
ta them, which is ironical enough,
since these are the subjects most
in need of enlightenment, most
in need of a dispassionate inven
tory of the facts, most in need of
a calm framing of the issues.
And thus the competence of a
university to contribute to wise
public policy is limited....

ALLEGIANCE
These three disabling condi
tions add up to the same thirjg,
lack of faith in university free
dom. And it seems to me that
this uncertainty, this lack of
confidence by the faculty, springs
largely from a lack of allegiance
to a common conception of the
university by the groups that
make it up, and a lack of com
mon conception of the duties of
each of them in a university.
I once worked on a study of
politics in the states of the
South. Before going to press, we
asked three or four persons in
each state to read the draft of
a chapter about his state for its
accuracy and for his comment,
on the interpretations it con
ttiined. ,
In one stat? university, a pro-fessr-r,
the chairman of his de
partment, responded as follows:
"I will read your chapter, pro
vided that you do not in any
other way connect me with your
book. My president would not
like it." ' '' ,
In a different state universi
ty, the president learned that
members of his faculty were en
gaged in political studies, in-
One need not wonder if facul
ties hesitate to address themsel
ves to questions of the moment.
These conditions over the de
cades have produced within uni
versity faculties a debilitating
confusion between their respon
sibilities as members of a univer
sity faculty and the tactical re
quirements of public' controversy.
They begin to wonder what the
reaction of what they say will be
on the public, on their govern
ing boards, on their president,
even on their colleagues and stu
dents. They begin to confuse the
acadmic process and the political
process ...
Though this process we , get
harmony out of conflict, a high
degree of diversity, and ongoing
( and productive society instead of
" anarchy or apathy. The heart of
the political process is compro
mise. But the heart of the university
process of free inquiry s is the
fight to be accurate, the fight to
be complete, the fight to under
stand and the opportunity to
state the fragmentary results as
best one can. It is perilous to con
fuse the political processes of
compromise with the university
processes of free inquiry.
In a climate of political heat,
like the present one, it is "easy
for the conscientious faculty
member t3 frame what .he says
(and does nat say) as a part of
the political debate. He would
better serve the university and
the society the university serves,
to frame what'he says as part vi
h s search for truth.
The temptat.on to dj the form
er and no't the latter tfgain ex
hibits' a lack ox confidence in the
'itica ot a university, for it springs
cit.ier from fear of reprisals, or
lack of faith in the usefulness of
the. university in a crisis.
If. we have failed,, if the uni
versity in the South has failed
in the present crisis, for the rea
sons I have suggested, where
within the university" lies -the
blame, and the remedy?
The' blame, as always, ; belongs
to everyone, except perhaps the
students, who in the exercise of
university freedom are often
more outspoken and sometimes
more constructive than the rest
of us.
But where chiefly lies the
blame, and hence the remedy?
The faculty, it seems to me, is
the central body of the universi
ty, and I believe with the faculty
chiefly lies the blame, and the
remedy, v
A faculty 'has a. task that pre
cedes even the search J or truth
and the effort to teach. The task,
is to maintain the conditions
necessary for searching and
teaching. The task: does not be
long to the faculty alone, but
faculty members can, better than
anyone else, push forward the un
ending processes of defining and
redefining the university to fit
the times, of interpreting the uni
versity to itself, and to others,
and of implementing their con
ception of the university by prac
ticing it.
It is for the university, of
which the faculty is the central
core, to define and demonstrate
its own role, to show others what
they should expect of it.
To place, heaviest responsibility
with faculty for the state, of the
university is simply to say that
the sae of tlie university, that is,
the state of.the university, that is,
is of more intimate continuing im
portance to the faculty than to
any other group, inside or out
side the university.
Administrative officers and gov
erning boards have their respon
sibilities, too, in the maintenance
of university freedom. They must
foster the conditions necessary -for
freedom inside the university,
and they must shield the univer
sity's freedom against attacks
from out side it. Administrators
are usually better equipped to do
the former, members of govern
ing boards the latter.
In an American university,
special problems are created by
bur practice of lodging ultimate
control of the 'university outside
the universitjritself. J
This'we. do to an unusual ex
tent, &nd this we accept as a nat
ural part of the financial support
which alsa comes from outside
the university. . v
But the system implies hier
archy, and fiierarchy implies a
chain of command, and unless all
hands understand the idea of the
university and subscribe to it,
here is where the trouble begins.
The chain extends to student
life. Once I knew a college plesi
dent, and there are many like
him, who was worried about the
editorial page of the student
newspaper. The paper was billed
(n the masthead, as the official
student newspaper of the initi-
tutiuit.
it it ' is an official newspaper,

the official program of the divini

There is a distinction between
individual members of the uni
versity community and the cor
porate body of the university. It

'IT IS THE TASK OF UNIVERSITIES , i . TO SERVE . . . THE SOCIETY
.... what contributes to their silence?
strike me that administrative of
'ficers with responsibilities for
representing the educational in
stitution as a corporate body
must adopt restraint for them
selves, in order to keep restraint
from others.
They often, and properly, find
it wise to remain TUt of the con
troversies of their time, except as
the controversies touch their of
ficial charge.
At this point, when the idea
itself of the university is threat
ened, there is no impartiality,
.and. ,the university as an institu
tion ceases simply to be a forum
for discovery and debate, and en
ters the lists as a partisan on be
half of having a forum for dis
covery' and debate.
On a day in 1925 the president
of Wake Forest College and the"
president of the University cf
North Carolina took their stand
against legislation to prohibit
the teaching of evolution in state
supported " schools, the monkey
bill.
