On the way the conversation turned to the subject of education at our state universities. The question arose as to whether our universities should permit their professors full rein to promulgate their beliefs in a tax-supported institution, or whether they should be required to keep quiet on such subjects as were controversial, and pertained to beliefs, such as economics and religion. 7 The editor stated that he felt a university professor should be encouraged to stimulate thought by giving his own opinions — that a student should be encouraged to think about why he believes as he does, and be able to justify, at least to himself, his economic, political and religious philosophy. The statement, arid the implication that it might be all right to discuss socialism, totalitarianism, or agnosticism in a classroom, apparently estounded the crowd, and led to an abrupt period of silence. Later that same day, the editor was privileged to hear a vice president of Purdue University, and that university’s dean of agriculture, Earl Butz, speak. They touched on this same subject. And oddly enough, although both men are considered extremely conservative in their political, economic and religious views, both defended the right of a professor, speaking on a subject in which he is competent, to hold to any view that he can defend before his students. ' Freedom of information, and the training of our young people to understand their own and others’ points of view, is vital in a democratic republic. Young people who are not prepared to defend their own views, and strengthen them, through the exchange of ideas are ill prepared to - enter our society. Certain groups, of both the left and right wing, believe that the desimmination of information should be curtailed, and only “our” ideas should be permitted, all others being wrong. True conservatives, middle-of-the-foaders, and liberals shy away from this point of view. Editorial Writer Today — Dfck D. Heller, Jr,

In case you came in late on this controversy, I should explain that plans are afoot to monumentalize Our 32nd President with an abstract arrangement of concrete slabs that would protrude from a prominent place in the capital. Critics Ridicule Design Some critics have ridiculed the design as being reminiscent of Stonehenge, a pre-historic pile of stones located hear Salisbury, England. . , " • The Post editorialist suggested, therefore, that this type of memorial architecture be known as “instant Stonehenge.” In his view, however, it would more closely resemble “a neglected country
