“But what the hell—I’m confused. My feelings about this war in Vietnam are swinging on a pendulum. The arguments either way can seem right, depending on whose side—whose euphemisms—I'm hearing from.” Speaking on “Freedom and Responsibility in Revolution,” Serling contrasted the Vietnamese conflict with previous wars.

Aptheker's Value
There are idealists both in the faculty and the student body who feel truly committed to the principle of unconditional academic freedom. Their idea is simple. It merely states that a university is not a place of total learning unless opportunities of total learning are available. Such an opportunity would be for the student body to hear an educationally valuable exponent of the communist ideology on campus. Such a person is Herbert Aptheker.
Aptheker is an acknowledged expert on the American Negro and an author of some eight books found in Doheny Library. His speech on Nov. 17 on the history and future of the Negro revolt in America will doubtlessly be of intellectual value to the university.
After countless obstacles, the latest occurring in the student senate last week, the Aptheker visit had finally been approved. It will be sponsored by the Great Issues Forum, a faculty-student program.
There are, however, a few who support the speaker's policy with motives slightly less than oriented toward the educational value of such a policy. They are the ones who want Aptheker on campus not because of his educational value to the students but because he an exponent of Communism. They think listening to a Communist is a sign of intellectual awareness.
It is a shame that those who want Aptheker on campus simply because he is of the left-wing share in the spoils of those interested in the educational value of Aptheker's address.
We welcome the chance to her Herbert Aptheker, historian of the American Negro.
