college students had gotten over the malignant fads that captivated
them in the 1960s and gone back to studying, Dartmouth remained in
the grip of a dominant clique of left-leaning students determined to
impose their cockeyed views on the institution. Meanwhile the facul-
ty was radicalizing, as it had in many schools as students radicals of
the 1960s entered the teaching profession and rose through its ranks.

You may have heard about the latest flap, which began when stu-
dent leftists, defying both written and spoken orders of the dean of
the college, erected several unsightly shanties on the college green,
ostensibly to symbolize the housing available to blacks in South
Africa.
"To Austria, to Waldheim and to ‘RESUME
ENHANCEMENT.’"
Z\)e iBaptoton &un
Finally the conservative students responded, showing up one night
in the wee hours as “The Dartmouth Committee to Beautify the
Green” and demolishing several of the shanties. The leftists then
went on to occupy the administration building and the president/s of-
fice, physically resisted the college’s belated attempts to remove the
last shanty, and were arrested for refusal to obey police orders.
And what, do you suppose, was the reaction of Dartmouth’s presi-
dent, faculty and administration to all this? The student leftists were
let off without any penalty whatever. Ten of the student conser-
vatives have been suspended for anywhere from one to three terms.
Do you get the message loud and clear?
The alumni of Dartmouth are the only group with the slightest hope
of doing anything effective about this ludicrous mess.
