Most campuses have seen the formation of political clubs representing almost every degree of deviation from center. n Vol. 103 No. 2 Positions have been formulated by these student groups, which, for breadth October 6, 1961 of purpose and complexity of statement, rival the profoundest pronounce [ ments of the great political philosophers of the Christian West. One cannot, of course, condemn the rise of undergraduate "awareness." Nor can one take particular exception to the articulation of such awareness Founded 1867 through student political groups.
