NOTRE DAME Editorials A House is not a Home The University is building two new high-rise dormitor­ ies north of the library. These dorms will alleviate the overcrowded living conditions and enable many off-campus to return to campus. However many students are afraid that when these buildings are completed, the Administration will coerce students to live on campus. We agree with Fr. Hesburgh that Notre Dame is and should be a residential university. But the Administration does not realize that there are many valid reasons for living off-campus. Many students do not want to live in cramped rooms and be subject to the restrictions on cars and girls in the room. K, when the dorms are completed, on-campus living becomes more attractive, people will return. But these decisions should be left to the individual student. If a student chooses to live off-campus it does not necessarily mean he will take no interest in the University. On the contrary, the extra freedom offered by living off-campus may increase his awareness and responsibility. In addition, living off-campus should encourage the students to become more involved in the problems of South Bend. The University should not be a place of seclusion where the student ignores the problems of the outside world. This is the effect of forcing students to live on campus. A residential university cannot be built by force. ~R.M. The Scholastic Them and Us The interview which Father Hesburgh recently granted the SCHOLASTIC editors left us with a few impressions which didn't appear in the written interview but which might we well to share. There were a couple of obvious reasons for the interview: It's generally a good idea to have the thoughts of the University's President down on paper — just for the record. And we can always count on a story about Father Hesburgh being read. Of course, we have noble motives, too. We want to be a forum for all good opinion, a communication-gap bridge, a middleman for all the factions that make up this self- contained little city-state. But our attempts never quite match our hopes. Our wires are forever getting crossed. The main reason, per­ haps, is that our form is by nature limited. No written interview can really substitute for being there in person, for hearing, seeing, talking to and feeling the other human being. Because we talked to Father Hesburgh personally, we think we have a better understanding of what he is about and why. Naturally, we still disagree with him on many points. But our disagreement is tem­ pered with sympathy for the responsibility he bears. But if we have such a big problem with our limited Student Power personal communication with the Administration, what of the students at large, who have no or very little contact Last week Richard Rossie won an overwhelming at all? Well, wait, there is a communication of sorts, but victory as Notre Dame's Student Body President. The one- it's all of a kind, and it's usually all bad. It comes in sidedness of the election results came as a surprise to the "directive" form from Father Riehle and in "letter" form most zealous Rossie supporters; they had not anticipated from Father Hesburgh. such an impressive mandate from the students.

The last sults are themselves the clearest demonstration of Rossie's time the students heard from Father Hesburgh was over program of "student power." "Student power" has been two years ago before the MSU game and it was to tell us, instantiated at the polls. "Don't beat up their band this year." The next letter, in Now that Rossie has achieved his initial success, the Kennan's words, teU us.

Rossie has wisely made the Hesburgh is more than "President," "fund-raiser," "the students' right to self-government of their own personal voice of authority" is beside the main point.

We believe Rossie's determination is genuine. His con­ Such "letters" as the Kennan statement do not com­ tinued success will depend upon the continued and fervent municate Administration understanding and sympathy for support of all the students. Rossie's recent election is just the students. If anything, they make the barricades a bit beginning. The true meaning of "student power" depends bigger, the ivory tower a little taller, the gap between upon the meaning Notre Dame students choose to give it. "them" and "us" that much wider. — 7.M. — M.Mcl.
