Although freedom of speech ha?» been dealt with before, we feel that now more than ever there is a need to clarify the meaning oi“ Election: oi opcecb. its proper use, and its advancement among; college students. 0111 history pages are well Scarred will: tales; of great men who were given no chance to voice their ideas, thus setting civilization back several generw tions. This we hope hill not happen do ring the present crisis, and it can be prevented to a great extent by the use of the privilege of freedom of speech. We do not mean to say that free speech has in any way been prohibited at any U. 3. college, much less I. l. ’l‘., for this is not so. But {1 cedom oi speech can he criminal in its misuse by the \ery people who could do so much ior its advancement Co ollege students and faculty have in their power to advance or to d ucontinue the privilege of free speech. Un- just criticism of students and faculty by their co- workers, and soap-box blah by undemocratic min- orities are two examples of the imprudent use of the privilege. And it is just this that has lead many people to desire some form of censorship. But there are many dangers even in slight censorship, for if absolute free speech is not pennittcd in col leges, there is little hope for true advancement in education for the student with original ideas, for the faculty with its experience, or chance for the future students and faculty to obtain the fullest benefit of previous experiences and ideas. A student may come across something in his reading that gives him an original idea. So ob- sessed does he become with the idea that he must find a means of expressing it. This he does through the medium of free speech. For it is only after he has given voice to the idea that its value can be determined. Members of the college faculty are often instrumental in aiding or discouraging the ideas of their students because of their more valued experiences. The faculty, too, were at one time students in college. Now as members of the teach~ ing board of this branch of higher learning they are engrossed in an even greater study. For it is largely upon their shoulders that the duty rests VOL. 27~No. 4 TECHNOLOGY NEWS and not for the training of youth to be citizens—for that should already have been done—«but for the advanc- ing of clear thinking minds of the college citizen, thus enabling them to become leaders in cduca~ tional citizenship, in this role, freedom of speech is fundamental. For without it faculty members could do little but impose on the students one line of thinking, a biased philosophy, and a. one sided standpoint on religious, political, or social views—— thus making actual advancement of progressive thinking among the students. To the future student»: and faculty the present students and faculty have a great duty to perform that of using and preserving free speech in the ad» vancement of education. From the past we have been handed numerous literar 7, scientific, industrial and educational achievements. Germany up to al- most the present day has been recognized for her great scientific advances. Now that freedom of speech has been taken from her colleges, she stands stripped of all advancement with only her past record to full back on. The fathers of our American Constitution granted its freedom of speech here in the United States. it is up to the colleges to see not only that this right is never taken from the American people, but also that, this right and privi- lege is perpetuated for future generations so that they too may reap its richest reward and obtain its greatest hencfits.

Because of their confidential nature, many of the Armour Research Foundation projects cannot be announced even by sublet-t. Sometimes the spon- soring concern asks that the company name be kept secret for competitive wheelie. In other cases a part or even all of the information resulting from research may be contributed to the scientific litera- ture, depending upon the wishes of the sponsor.

Friomlew-imdl Are you looking for a light? if you are, no matter how calm things may appear on the sur- face you can always find some- thing to quibble about. In case some of you readers do not yet realize to what 1' am referring, I will be more explicit and Say the1 relations between the Armour and Lewis campuses. Don’t get mad yet; wait a minute. I attend classes at Lewis and feel that I am as loyal to Lewis Institute as any of you. But I believe in looking at both sides of the picture. Sure, we have a rightful kick on some of the items which have ap- peared in the paper recently. Yet, I wonder whether we have ever stopped to think that here we are on the Lewis campus, supposedly studying the humanities and learning to understand human nature. but seldom do we stop to think what the reason has been for some action taken at the other campus. Have we tried to under- stand the fellows at Armour and their motives? I wonder, or are we too anxious to look for a fight, something on which we can feel that we've been over looked. Mind you, i don’t say things have been smooth as silk. They haven't. Not by :1 long shot. Yet if we realize that this merger idea is as hard for them to get used 110 as it is for us, and they too are used to going their own way, perhaps we can understand them better. Before you Armour boys get the idea that i am merely cliustising the Lewis students, let me hop on you. Just remember I admire your ability and initiative, but we do like to he remembered as a part of l.l.T. Try to understand us as i hope the Lewis students will try in the future to under- stand you. Remember that some of us over here have school spirit, and we’re working against odds. Approximately 80% of our stu- dents hold full time jobs beside going to school. Also an immense number of our students are al— ready settled in “that middle age slump.” See now what. we’re fight.- ing. How about us all remembering in the future that the other fol low has a view point, and that we will find what we look for. Now who is looking for a fight? Let’s all answer, “Not l," and work to- gether for :1 more perfect under« standing. Wide Eyed It New Null)? in l‘erOl’lSG to your editorial of last week calling for some sort. of upsurge in the cultural level of engineering students, I would like to point out that culture is many-faceted and that while one or more oil the many sides of it. may satisfy one type of student, diflerent aspects; of culture may be desired by other fellowr. Thus it would appear that. true cultural achievement must be attained through extra-curricular activity for the most part. In view of this conclusion sev eral men on the campus have de- cidod that some sort of public speaking forum, perhaps on the style. of “Town Hall of the Air” would be a good thing for the stu- dent body in general, since it would be neither a dull debating society nor a calamitous open i'otum, still rather vague. (l emeral- ly speaking, though, most topics would probably be either scienti- fic or political and in the form of individual presentations of papers, symposiums, debates with a tough moderator at the helm and the usual question-asking, heckling audience. From all this it becomes obvious that one of the main oh- ;iectivcs of such a group would be to actual public speaking under the conditions that a real speaker would encounter. Dr. Olsen, Professor of Englinh, has; already promised to act as our sponsor, in which capacity he will serve as a very able modem tor and a general fault-picker in any arguments. Dr. Olsen will, of course ale 0 give pointers on speak- ing technique, excluding “gram mcr and diction.” With his spon- sorship promised, we proceeded to the dean’s office, where Acting- Dean Professor Peeblos received the idea enthusiastically and promised us his full support. Since we have the approval of both the faculty and the admin- istration, it is now up to the stu~ dent body to present such a group with a really active membership. Our present plans are to launch a very general meeting at 10 am. some not—very~dista11t Friday when a dearth of professional so- ciety me tings exists in order to get a large initial turnout. There- after, we shall see.

This addition is Miss Kathryn Judkins who has had the experience necessary for the position as coordinator of the Co-op course in Business; and In dustrial Management. Miss Judkins was born in In- dianola, Iowa, and attended gram- mar and high school there. After having been graduated from high school, she took a liberal arts course at Simpson College, in In dianola, majoring in music and education, and received a BA. de- gree. As music supervism in public senior high schools, . lies ludkins was located in Nevada, Iowa; Richmond, lndiana; and Waterloo, Iowa. While in each of these cities, she was active in the musi- cal organizations in both the school and the community. Her summers were spent doing grad- uate work at Northwestern Uni~ versity. She is a member of Delta Delta Delta and Mu Phi Epsilon sororities. After deciding to change her life’s work from the field of music to that of business, Miss Judkins did some special work rt Marshall Field and Company and attended the Prince School of Personnel and Store Management and Sim- mons College, Boston, Masachu— setts, receiving a BS. degree in personnel and store management. She spent several years in person- nel management and training work with large retail firms in Boston and Chicago. Miss .Tudkins did the pioneer work in instituting distributive education programs in retail busi- ness in schools in Aurora, Joliet. Rockford and Chicago Heights. This led to the desire on the part of Rockford merchants to estab- lish a company program which in- cluded cooperative training for post-graduate students of the Rockford Senior High School as well as regular employees of the various retail stores. Out of the group of postgraduate students trained, 80% received full~time positions upon completion.
