Greene Co YOL. 78. NO. 8 THURSDAY, Editorial Feature ............................................................................................. YPA to Stay a t Antioch The latest information is that the Y. P. A. at Antioch College, Yellow Springs, which is recognized by Antioch as being Communist sponsored, financed, and directed, is still functioning as an organization sponsoring it’s own speaker, Dr, Robert Armstrong, see Antioch College Re- ord volume 10, No. 20. P. 12. For several weeks the fate of Y. P. A. was a much de­ bated subject between Antioch Government and Y. P. A. members, a compromise being reached with the result that 5 member’s names be .submitted to C. G. This later was changed to 2. Y. P. A. chairman stated that the or­ ganization would disband rather than list membership, which would be a restriction of activity. That Y. P. A., would disband on the surface only was evidenced by a plan to form a “Horace Mann Forum— sparked by fear that Y. P. A. would disband if listing of names were required by Comcil. (Community Coun­ cil). See Record vol. 10 No. 20. P. 6 under “Political scene brightens1' The same article states tha t after removal of the provisions of Council’s legislation, ob­ noxious to the groups, talks continued among representa- lives of Y. P. A., S. D. A., P. S. G. and several unaffiliated students.” Has Antioch College softened or did they back down in a feeble effort to control known Communist Controlled organizations on the campus. Can Antioch student be so “Sovereign”, that they are allowed to continue in organ­ izational activity which could be a threat to the National Security of the United States, under the noses of faculty and the government bodies of Antioch? Who adminis­ ters the governing policyat Antioch. The college govern­ ment, or the Communist Party??? That the Antioch Council proposal regarding Y. p. A. and other organizations was “obnoxious” to some stud­ ents is evidenced by a “Letter to the Editor" of the Ant­ ioch Record, vol, 5 No. 42, dated Feb. 17, 1955, signed by one Matthew Chapperon in which is said: "In the face of the most recent display of government persecution and anti-intellectualism, our student body still chooses to remain Inactive This is no wonder when we are constantly discouraged by tired and cynical ciders, who only tells us of our naivete, immaturity, or stupidity, and warn us of the danger, insecurity, and indeed the futility of social action. They tell us we do not know enough, that we cannot act wisely in tho realm of social action, for politicians must govern, scientists must experiment, teachers must instruct, and students, still Ignorant, can do nothing but study! Wo are told that controversial student action, is "embarnssing to tho college.’’ Meanwhile Community Council is lately more concerned with what the administration wants and demands than what Ja necessary for a continued healthy student life, so that Community Government has become a pussyfooting and unrepresentative organization. Then, wlint channels for effective student action have we? Cries of “bad public relations," the use of the campus politics, intimidation, and prohibitive legislation have severely discouraged the active voices of Antioch student-;. Neither Community Government nor the present Independent groups can be effective In amassing wide student support, participation, and action. Yet It is vital In these discouraging times that we bolster our spirits through common participation and effective action, Tho student voice In this country and on this campus must not be lost. The time linn come when we students must seek our area of unity, come to com­ mon agreements, and take effective action within a structure satis­ factory to mu- needs."*— Mr. Chapporon’s letter takes the aspect of a flagrant insult to Antioch Faculty and its advisors. We have been under the assumption that a college was an institution "'here un-Iearncd or so called ignorants may go to study hud be enlightened. If the Ghapperons of the world know all the answers why waste their money going to college. Perhaps he feels differently about the whole thing sinep Y . P. A., known Communist dominated group, is honored by allowing it to continue at Antioch, speculation could arise as to whether Chapperon's letter was a con­ tributing factor in tho favorable decision. In the Record vol. 5, No, 39, dated Feb. 10,1955, Chap- poron writes i In reprimanding the Govcrmenl for It’s poor choice of "friendly vifner.cs" and apologizing for the excesses In the 'democratic de­ fense against Communsfon," your Tuesday editorial overlooked tho Crucial tragedy—‘Hint the U, 8, Government will use everybody and anybody, liars, thieve?, and psychological pervert?;, In order to perse­ cute nil Communist and progressive elements In America, Matusow does not merely expose himself, but the whole hierarchy of Government witnesses and Informers and the whole process of Gover­ nment antl-Communlst and anti-progressive testimony. Is H testimony like Malusow's that killed the Rosenborgs? If so, it t<,ns surely murderl What about the Strunks, the Phllbrleks, the Bud- enzes, tho Crouches; are they all liars? Docs not the whole of the Government caso against the 'Communist menace" and "subversion" rest on such dubious testimony?—. Recalling the antiquated adage that one rotten apple can spoil a peck of good ones, we feel if the college is senouly interested in establishing good public relations lo i? ?,f t i cUc<?!nmimity' is time the admiss- lons Dept, of Antioch College stop dumping some of the Now York refuse (rotten apples) on the Yellow Springs C o m m u n i t y , * * CEDARVILLE CALENDAR OF EVENTS March 1-REBEKAII’S, a t IOOF Hall, 8:9* p, m.
