UC Controversy Stirs Comment Professors Encourage Open Door By BEBE SCHERB Associate Editor The recent Free Speech Movement (FSM) at the University of California at Berkeley and the proposed resolution facing the UC Board of Regents on Dec. 18 has stirred concern among key administrators and professors over USC’s speech policy. President Norman Topping; Dr. Wesley Robb, chairman of the undergraduate School of Religion and Student Activities Committee; Dr. Desmond Anderson, associate dean of public administration and Faculty Senate chairman; Dean of Students Paul Bloland; and Dr. David Malone, chairman of English and comparative literature departments and president of USC Chapter American Association of University Professors (AAUP), were almost unanimous in their desire for a more ‘‘open forum” policy. Change Must Receive Approval Any revamping or alteration of the present speakers policy adopted in 1963 will have to originate with the Student Activities Committee, a committee of the Faculty Senate. To become “law” any recommendation must then receive the stamp of approval of the Faculty Senate, Dr. Topping and the Board of Trustees. The one dissenting vote against a complete open forum policy came from Dr. Topping who bans Communists from speaking on campus. Anyone else can speak including Governors Barnett and Wallace. He added, any group can organize on cammis as long as it is under the auspices of Trojan Young Republicans or Trojan Democrats and goes through the regular channels required of all groups. Favors Open Forum Policy Fearing a possible “Pershing Square atmosphere,” Dr. Robb said he personally favors a more open forum policy as long as it lends itself to “responsible education.” He pointed out that if any policy were adopted along these lines, the words “responsible education” would be the point of contention. To settle the point, one must turn to the faculty wiio are the most qualified to determine who would contribute to responsible education, Dr. Robb explained. Viewing the UC proposal, he expressed concern because there was no mention of educational objectives. “There are men in both religion and medicine who do not have any qualifications to discuss these areas and would offer nothing to education. Society Imposed Restrictions “As long as the university is increasing in academic stature, however, it will continue to face this problem,” Dr. Robb added. Dr. Anderson favors a more open forum, because “college years are a time to explore varied and plural values and value systems. Beyond these four years, there are enough restrictions imposed by society and other groups.” Commenting on the riots, he said “Crusades are never successful negotiations. Things move forward only for the moment. “I don’t believe students seek points to rally about. The point of (Continued on Page 2) Communist Prohibition Discussed By GREG HILL City Editor Freedom of speech and freedom of political participation were the chief topics of interest at last weekend’s Idyllwild conference. The conference, attended by the ten professors awarded the $1,000 teaching excellence awards and by 50 selected students, was sponsored by the Danforth Foundation’s Project Fasten. Students, professors and Harold Taylor (keynote speaker and former president of Sarah Lawrence College) spent most of their time criticizing, defending or analyzing President Topping policies concerning freedom of speech and student involvement in politics. Current Stand on Speech President Topping said last Thursday that the current administrative stand on the matter of speech still bars U.S. Communists from speaking before student groups on campus. He did say, however, that segregationists like Alabama Gov. Wallace and former Mississippi Gov. Barnett, could speak on campus if they so desired. Dr. Topping also said Thursday that students cannot organize into political groups on campus except under the umbrella of the Trojan Democratic Club or the Trojan Young Republicans. His views on these two topics were criticized, analyzed and defended at the Idyllwild Conference. As could be expected, students did most of the criticizing, professors most of the analyzing and a small minority the defending. Most of the young critics did not touch directly on President Topping’s policies. They devoted their criticism to the other barriers which stand in the way of free speech and student political participation. The lowest common denominator of criticism was the faculty. Students roundly condemned the “typical” professor’s lack of interest in them and pleaded for more faculty involvement in ar^as of student concern. Faculty Hit for Reluctance Several students blasted the faculty specifically for a reluctance to “stand ud and be counted” in controversial aress like free speech. Administrators under President Topping were also criticized for irresponsibility, bureaucratic tyranny and administrative ignorance. The professors present at the conference criticized the administration more gently, if they did at all. Some occasionally pointed out that Dr. Topping’s policies often contradicted the American Association of Universitv Professors’ feelings on the subject of academic freedom. Others poked gentle fun at President Topping’s conviction that Red speakers would disrupt irfe nniversity. These professors maintained that students as a whole possessed a good deal of intellectual and social responsibility. Difficulties Pointed Out A small minority of students and professors pointed out the difficulties which the administration often encounters in dealing with free speech and student involvement in politics. These underdogs noted that the university administration was not only responsible for any incidents incited by controversial speakers, but also for the funds which might be forfeited if Reds were -allowed to voire their credo on campus.

The recent Free Speech Movement (FSM) at the University of California at Berkeley and the proposed resolution facing the UC Board of Regents on Dec. 18 has stirred concern among key administrators and professors over USC’s speech policy.
President Norman Topping; Dr. Wesley Robb, chairman of the undergraduate School of Religion and Student Activities Committee; Dr. Desmond Anderson, associate dean of public administration and Faculty Senate chairman; Dean of Students Paul Bloland; and Dr. David Malone, chairman of English and comparative literature departments and president of USC Chapter American Association of University Professors (AAUP), were almost unanimous in their desire for a more ‘‘open forum” policy.

To become “law” any recommendation must then receive the stamp of approval of the Faculty Senate, Dr. Topping and the Board of Trustees.
The one dissenting vote against a complete open forum policy came from Dr. Topping who bans Communists from speaking on campus.

Freedom of speech and freedom of political participation were the chief topics of interest at last weekend’s Idyllwild conference.
