President 'Removed'

Council Vice-President Paul Hurdle reacted
differently. "I can't believe that President
Shannon is so far removed from the activity at
this and other colleges," he said.

Another Councilman questioned whether
the President was actually insuring the right to
discuss the issues involved in the war. He
compared the President's decision not to cancel
classes to the decisions made in Germany by
Adolph Hitler to disallow discussion of politics
in the German universities.
