Commission Publishes Student Unrest Report Following the violence of last spring on college campuses, Presidenlt Nixon appoinJted a commission rto investigate the causes of such riots. From this commission, the Report for Student Unrest, was issued in early October,_ 1970. The Commission, . headed by William Scranton, stated that the 't rouble was "a crisis of understandilng . . . " "If this trend continues, ,i f the crisis qf understanding endures, the very survival of the nation will be threatened." 'J!le 362·page report addressed itself to a wide set of suggestions for all parts. First :to the President, that he should "seek to convince rpublic officials and protesters ailike that divisive and insulting rhetoric ·i s dangerous in the current polit ical campaign and throughout the years ahead." Also that the President "should insist ·that no one play irresponsible .politics with the issues of campus unrest," and, that he "should take the steps to assure that he be continuollilly inform·e d of the views of students and blac·k s." To government offic-i-als, no matter what the official says he can "heal or divide," -the commission said that "actions and inactions of government at all levels have COl'lltributed to campus unrest," In addition, "the words of some political leaders have hellped to inflame it (campus Ulllrest) ," while officials "should rejeot the demands that the entire universities be pun-
ished because of the ideas or excesses of some members." To the universities the report stated that they "must pull themse~ves together." The university should also make clear "the . limiits of permissible conduct and announce in advance what measures it is willing to employ in re·s ponse to impermissible conduct." Finally, the commission defined the roles of the university which are, "teaching and learning, research and scholarship. Far too many people who should know better - both within university communities and out side of .them have forgotten this first principle_of academic freedom." To the student, the Commission addre·s sed itself concerning commitments and the obliga:tion of those commitments. Students are "to learn from our nation's past experience, to recognize the humanity of t:Jhose with whom they disagree and to maintain their respect for the rule of law." "Students must accept the responsibilitiy of presentin!g their id:eas in a reaBOI!lable and persuasive manner. They must recognize that they are citizens of a lliaJtion which was founded on tolerance and diversitiy, and they must become more understanding of those with whom they differ." All factions being considered, the Commission has published the Report for Student Unrest as a constructive tool for future use and reference.

!*********************** LETTER f i To The Editor f
YOUTH
INVOLVEMENT
The national issues reflected in this year's election campaigns call the youth of America to listen, form opinions, and act, wherever possible. There is an increasing need for the country's young people to now realize themselves, not only as voters in the national elections, but also as citizens of a community. These com'munities of the near future will be made up of today's young people, and we, the editors of Ebb Tide 1970-71, feel that success, production and progress in the future lies in the awareness and commitment of today. Youth must begin to involve themselves accordingly in all levels of politics. College students forced themselves into the political. scene last spring with a nation-wide strike. The basic plan was to protest President Nixon's decision to extend the offensive into Cam.bodia. As a result, youth had been recognized as a political voice. He now cannot leave that voice behind; he has the responsibility to carry his opinions through, to stand behind them insofar as they are applicable, and to change them in accordance with the sitM.ation and his way of thinking. However, in many areas, our elected officials have failed to listen, as evidenced by recent defeats in Congress. Those amendments proposed were the withdrawal of all Uriited States troops from Indochina by 1971, and .an end to the draft. Ebb Tide does not feel that all of youth's amendments are correct, but we do feel that similar proposals must continue to exist. Defeat of an idea, does not necessarily mean its death. Much work and effort must be applied in order to modify such a proposal and make it workable and beneficial to all those concerned. One does not quit; one merely tries again. As political incumbents on all levels are responding to public deritands for improvement, the government's ear has begun to turn to the citizen, and a growing responsibility will fall to the nation's youth. Those who have not yet become involved, are urged to do so. With greater participation, our political system can better serve those who live in it. DIMENSIONS OF November 11 18 19

Dear Editor: I would like to commend Maryclare Johnson on the excellent job she did in obtaining .Joseph Heller to speak at Salve Regina College. It is really difficult to obtain wellknown guest lecturers, especially on a 'small campus with limited funds . However, I found it very disappointing that more members of the college community did not take advantage of the opportunity to hear Mr. Heller speak. It seems sad that Salve had to show such poor representation, not only at this, but also at the opening of t!he Film Festiva l which was scheduled on the same evening, when both events were sponsored by Salve. I hope that, in the future, more members of all factions on this campus will take a greater interest in campus affairs, and thus demonstrate a greater response. Sincerely, Mary DeMarino

View And Review By PATRICIA CADIGAN Vet's Open Fall Season With Van Cliburn On October 8th, 1970, Veterans Memorial Auditorium initiated its fall season with the internationally famous Van Cliburn. The performance sponsored by Celebrity Pr~sentations Inc. was a aharitable function. Proceeds .from the concert went to ProjeJCt Head Start. Van Cliburn's repertoire consisted of selections from Brahms, Bee,t hov.e n, Prokofiett and Chopin. The performance was excellent. The capacity audience .particularly favored Beethoven's Appassionata and Chopin's Polanaise. They displayed their great apprecia:tion for the talent of the ar,t ist by a standing ovation at the conclusion of the conce rt. . You Can't Take It With You by George S. KaufmllJll and Moss liart opened the fall season of the Trinity Square Repetory Company. (Oct. 14-Nov . 14) The exper.t blending of theme and ·c haracterization within the play provides f or a very entert a ining evenin:g. Ess•e ntially the play revolves around an eccentric family whose philosophy of life is imbibed in the theme, .the pursuit of happ~ness. This opposes the 'rat race' man has •c reated for himself and fosters :relaxation and the enjoyment of life. While ·t he antics of 't he characters sel"V'e to reinforce the theme, they also provide the humor found in the .p lay. With such an important s tress on characterization, good a cting . was necessary, and the Trinity Square Pl'ayers were exceptional.
I certainly recommend performance of this play.

The Avoidable Tragedy By the sea, in 1947, Evlas was born; And Evlas' greatest ambition was learning. Yet in 1970, at the beginning of her fulll life, Evlas wilts in the face of scornBecause the tide's going out, a:nd it's not turning. The moon has forgotten about making high tide In her attempts to also be the sun. The moon has been caught in her pride, And is blind to the damage that she's done, Now to the top of the cliff, the ebb tide's long fingers reach: Evlas fears the end of her life is coming too soon, Her cries for help mingle with the gull's screech; But the one who can help w on't hear: it's the moon.
