A number of students have left books
purses coats and equipment in the racks
in the Moody Center when eating only to
return and find the items missing. Money
has been taken from purses. Books have
been taken out of briefcases.
This is the first time we have ever faced
this situation to such an alarming degree.
It is tragic to think there are those on the
campus who would try to personally pro-
fit by taking from others.
Students have been warned against leav-
ing these items unattended but it is imprac-
tical to carry books back to the dorms es-
pecially if a student has a class schedule in-
truding into meal times. It is even more
impractical for students to try to carry
books and briefcases into the dining room
and try to carry trays.
No violence in
EDITOR'S NOTE: The
following is part of Jhe
statement delivered by
BankAmerica President A.
W. Clausen at the share-
holders' meeting Mar. 17. Al-
though the statement does
not directly apply to our stu-
dents Clausen's thoughts on
academic freedom are deem-
ed relevant to all students
on every' campus.
. . . we have great respect
for the young people of
America. We admire their
integrity -their moral cour-
age and their willingness to
dissent. We need these
qualities in America. We
view our re-opening in Isla
Vista as a demonstration
that the participation of a
few students in a destruc-
tive act will not deter us
from attempting to serve
the financial needs of the
majority of students on the
Santa Barbara campus.
Our quarrel therefore is
not with ithe young and not
with the fact that they dis-
sent. Rather our quarrel is
with those who would pre-
petrate violence for any
cause whether it be violence
in Isla Vista or violence in
another small community
3000 miles away called La-
mar Violence from either
(the right or the left cannot
be tolerated in America.
A troublesome factor in-
volved in the current prob-
lem is the tendency of many
of our citizens to seek to
punish the universities for

the actions of the violent
few. Let us make our posit-
ion clear on this issue also.
We believe punitive action
against the university or re-
pression of dissent is as dan-
gerous as violence. We owe
a great debt to our univer-
sities and colleges. Our fu-
ture is dependent upon
them.
Certainly the education-
al process cannot be carried
on in an atmosphere of an-
archy. But as we battle the
anarchy which plagues our
campuses let us be certain
that we do not damage our
educational system in a
more subtle and insidious
way by destroying the
freedom of thought inquiry
and action which constitut-
es the only soil in which
true education can flourish.
Therefore while we use
every means at our disposal
to strengthen the hands of
the administrators of our
colleges and universities in
order that they may expel
any outside agitators that
may be plaguing our cam-
puses let us also be judic-
ious and thoughtful in see-
ing that it is anarchy and
unlawful disruption that we
put down and not academic

It does not seem that leaving personal
items at a table while filling one's tray
would be a solution as the items might
still be taken while their owner is in the
line.
This problem does not exist solely in the
Moody Center. Girls have lost items in the
gym; items have been stolen from cars and
dorm rooms.
To date no one has found a solution to
this problem. The BRAND is including a
suggestion form in the lower left hand cor-
ner of this page. If you have a possible
solution please sumbit it by tearing out
the form filling in your suggestion and
giving it to Mrs. Virginia Osborne at the
desk in the Moody Center.
Suggestions will be collected then sub-
mitted to Student Congress foivevaluation.
dissent
freedom nor the right of
students and faculty to dis-
sent. Let us be sure that we do
not go beyond that boun-
dary which will destroy the
freedom of inquiry that is
1 the essence of a great uni-
versity. For make no mis-
take about it our educat-
al system can be destroyed
every bit as effectively and
perhaps more completely
by those forces who would
in whatever name trample
upon the universities' free-
dom to inquire.
Let me sum up this philo-
sophical position of our
bank. We are opposed to
violence not to dissent. We
admire the young people of
America for their question-
ing their activism and their
moral courage.
We want freedom of in-
quiry in our universities
but we hope that all citizens
will strengthen the hands of
the university administrat-
ors in handling the problems
of violence and destruction
in prudent and thoughtful
manner. Within this frame-
work we hope all our citi-
zens will avoid a punitive
attitude toward the univer-
sity system.
Tuition will remain at $27.50 per
semester hour.
Room and board for the fall
term will range from $371-$398
for rooms without air-conditioning
and $400-$442 with air-conditioning
depending on the size
and location of room. This does
not include state tax.
The activity fee will provide a
plan whereby students will be
able to purchase Artist Series's
tickets at a 50 per cent discount.
The Artist Series makes it pos-
sible for a number of great artists
in different fields to be brought
to H-SU. The. fee will also aid in
financing the Bronco The Brand
and The Corral. In addition it will
be used ior various school activi-
ties plays and athletics.
Rooms for the first summer ses-
sion of 40 days will be $95 and
board $97 with the 7 day meal
ticket. With the 5 day ticket board
will be $79. Im the second session
of 33 days room will be $78 and
