All unsolicited material becomes the property of the SCHOLASTIC. The Scholastic HE doctrine of progress is based above all upon a lack of T faith in the present. This year at Notre Dame, we have retained the essential of that doctrine: we have no faith in the present ad­ ministrative and academic structure of this university. In response to your own dissatisfaction with student life on this campus, whether it be over the rigid imposition of required curriculums, the sterile social atmosphere, or the monastic disciplinary system, we have decided to challenge and question severely the decision-making processes that have allowed such a situation to develop and grow. We can no longer accept a Notre Dame in which the students are consistently denied an effective voice in decisions which directly concern their lives on this campus. Nor can we be misled by face- saving half-measures insuring student "participation" in important decisions. Too many students live in alienation or indifference, too many students are restless and bitter. Something is wrong at Notre Dame, something that can be solved only by a radical restructuring of this university. Because of the critical nature of the situation, our guide to action can only be visible, undeniable, even intrusive result. We three have pledged to work together, solidly, perseveringly, to­ wards this end. For the first time in the history of Notre Dame, the student leaders and their respective organizations are firm and united in their resolve to work together for a single, common goal of this type. Action must be our style. We know too that our deep dissatisfaction is not simply a minor­ ity opinion, as the Board of Trustees seems to believe. We are your elected and appointed representatives, and, as such, our opinion is only the public reflection of yours. We know that the overwhelming majority of students refuse to accept a system of life and study which has been imposed upon them against their will, and which is too often alien to their best interests. Our deter­ mination to act together is then only indicative of a larger solidarity, that of the entire student body, that of all of you. 1 Student Body President Editor, The Scholastic Editor, The Observer Sept. 20, 1968 Editorial A Time of Crisis Nothing can be done for a student if one does not first give him hope. There is no system of education possible which is outside of hope. Without hope comes crisis, and threats to destroy the existing unaccept­ able structure. This year at Notre Dame there is such a crisis, be­ cause so many students have lost all hope in the present system of life and study at this University. To get an idea of the extent of this crisis, one only has to look at the signs of student disillusionment as they manifest themselves in aU aspects of life at Notre Dame. To begin with, the religious life of this University is expiring in the grips of a terrible paradox: many, very many of the Catholic students here are either non- Catholic or even anti-Catholic. Some estimates of the percentage of students not attending Mass run 50% and higher. The most lengthily applauded lecture we have ever witnessed at Notre Dame was entitled "In Defense of Atheism." An overflow student crowd responded at the end of that lecture with an unqualified standing ovation of three full minutes. The point is that in an in­ stitution which claims to uphold the Faith, there is now very little faith. Moreover, anticlericEdism has grown to a consider­ able degree on this campus. Whether they be admin­ istrators, rectors, or professors, there are very few The Scholastic religious on this campus who are respected and admired lost all of their idealism. They have seen that to care by the students. Most are more often ridiculed or issues only into despair, and so they have stopped severely criticized. caring.
