Question

"The question of growth, said
Mr. Shannon last February, is one
'we can scarcely afford to debate.'
Indeed? Perhaps now he can't
afford not to debate it," the
columnist concluded.

Mr. Kirk's column is his second
attack on expansion at the
University to be carried in
publications nation-wide. An earlier
piece he wrote this summer for the
National Review touched off an
exchange of letters in the magazine
between the columnist and William
Fishback, director of the
University's Information Services,
in which they debated the growth
issue.
