Vitality?

President Shannon, in his
"Growth" statement in the
"Report to the University
Community," has finally put into
words the absurd philosophy of
adding more and more students to
an overcrowded University for the
sake of "vitality," "greatness,"
"good conscience," utilizing
"fullest development of our most
valuable asset-human resources,"
and providing "strong intellectual
and moral leadership."

If Mr. Shannon truly believes
that we should provide "vitality"
and the other generalities, let him
start it, by converting Carr's Hill
into a student dorm.
