In re-phrasing this question, howmany times do patriotic Americans volunteer to give theirtime to address student bodies on the merits of the highideals of American democracy?Unfortunately, the trend in many colleges today is toinvite speakers on communism, Nazism, racism and othertopics which are un-American and have no place oncampus.The good old cliche "freedom of speech is beingexploited by some groups to serve their own selfish purposes.Several years ago a San Diego State College groupinvited Nazi Lincoln Rockwell to address the students. Thenear-riot during his speech caused college officials muchconcern.Recently Mesa College's Emerson Club invited anAfro-American Association leader, a noted atheist, and alsoa Black Muslim to speak before the club. Perhaps theEmerson Club should endeavor to learn as much aboutthe American heritage as it has attempted to learn aboutsuch distasteful ideals. Certainly these men did not stresshigh American ideals.By inviting these unfavorable speakers^ colleges andclubs state that they are merely trying to learn more aboutthe subject so that they may judge events for themseves.Can these host organizations be ignorant of the word"propaganda" ? That is exactly what they are getting fromprofessional "brainwashers."This continuing tolerant attitude toward speakers ofunpatriotic systems on American college campuses shouldbe altered sharply.It is time for students to show their pride in countryby publicly denouncing any subversive, anti-democraticgroup which attempts to spread their seeds of hatred onour campuses.As the Year Closes . . .Of all the semester's activities it's easy to say whichone is the most outstanding.

Young peopledislike compulsory education. Thejunior college is as available asany school can be. It is there for]all ambitious students that want tocontinue. High school has heproblem of dropouts. I am against 1more compulsory school from ataxpayer's point of view. Theburden would be impossible.Steve Reese: I think 14 years ofeducation, is a good idea. Educationis important to young menand women. All students findmore schooling beneficial. Dropoutswould only be those whowould not be there anyway. Underthe present system, studentswho want to better hemselves arenot hampered by any goofing-off inclass. This is my second semesterand I am interested in drafting. Ianticipate using this in a futurejob. Many of my high schoolfriends attend school. This is notdone immediately after completinghigh school. I waited four yearsbefore I enrolled a^san Diego"Evening College. After high schoolI would not have liked the idea ofcompulsory schooling, but it wouldhave helped me.Education is a changing process.,It is constantly being improved.It will never be static, but it mustalways remain democratic. Consideringthe answers of these SanDiego Evening College students, itis the consensus that initiative andability should, determine who willtake advanced studies.Sigma Rho Alpha Captures Bed Trophy;Mattresses Used for Race, Then RestThe plan was to "spring" intothe lead, not "lie down" on thejob, and bring the grand prize toSDEC.Sigma Rho Alpha's entry,"EPAR," won first place in theFirst Annual Bed-Pushing Contestsponsored by San Diego City Collegeheld at Mission Valley Center,May 23.
