The Scholastic" y«^*Fg^Mi The Notre Dame CONSERVATIVES: Once again this week we publish an article on conservatives by a conservative, opening oui-selves again to the charge of being conservatives. This we deny. Most campus activities are staffed and controlled by students who are closer to liberalism than consei-vatism. Engaged as they are in the vast amount of work that these activities entail, this segment, which is the majority, does not have the interest to present a rebuttal. Consequently, the field is left open to a small, but highly vocal and articulate group of conservatives who give a false impression of size and influence. And until the liberals begin to realize that numbers alone are not enough and that the conservatives deserve and demand an answer, the present Foiimiid 1867 situation will continue to exist on college campuses. t;'^^.. Much has already been said in opposition to the Birch Society. Much of what we have said about "Operation Abolition" applies equally well to this group. There is no room in the fight against Communism for extreme and irresponsible creeds. In this category v/e would include the Society's desire to abolish Chief Justice e<iifor4n^thief r ;. Earl Warren, the United Nations, and the Income Tax. Another disturbing aspect CHARLES RltCK of the Society is its policy of maintaining membership secrecy to prevent reprisals against individual members. While this policy may have some validity, it is open associate ttditor . to abuse for it allows members to infiltrate organizations and governments before others know their true beliefs. But mosit disturbing of all is the vigilante aspect the ROY kUBEli Society assumes when it speaks of watching teachers in order to ferret out Commu­ nists. A zealous approach to this self-appointed mission could lead to the trampling news editor of freedom of speech, censorship of education and chai-acter assassination. THOMAS WEISS Criticism of the Birch Society must continue, if for no other reason than to John McCai>e prevent the excesses to which they are so prone. features editor . ; THOMAS ^yuiyAN ; TOGETHERNESS: Once again the question of residence hall policy is called, and Thomas Hoobier i.
