No one can accuse the current crop of college students of being a “silent generation.” Where 3: apathy Seemed to be the dominant note on campuses in the 1950s, activism—in behalf of civil Pigits, educational reform, one foréign policy or another—'s clearly the dominant note today. | No student demonstrations in recent years have received more publicity, or more serious attention,: ‘; than the series of disturbances on the Berkeley campus of the University of California during the past . +, year. . .: —_ "It started last September when the university abruptly banned on-campus recruitment for off- . campus political activities. When one student was arrested for violating the ban, a mob of several thousand students surrounded the police car and could not be dispersed for more than 24 hours. Weeks later. Berkeley students in support of the campus “Free Speech Movement” staged a sit-in that was broken up. : “only when nearly 800 of the sitters were arrested. A student strike followed. Repercussions kept the “ campus in turmoil through the remainder of the year. _ ’ , . ; :, . » Less tham two weeks ago a special committee headed by Jerome Byrne, a California lawyer, __ made a report to. the state board of regents sharply criticizing university president Clark Kerr and other - administrators for their handling of the students protests, and recommending basic changes in the struc-' “= ture of the university. And just last week President Kerr made recommendations of his own. * ~ ; - Last week, too, J. Edgar Hoover, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, told a Con-- gressional subcommittee that the demonstrations at Berkeley, “while not Communist-originated ot con- trolled,” were névertheless “exploited by a few Communists for their own ends.” Notably silent through the Berkeley affair was Edmund G, (Pat) Brown, Governar of Cali- fornia, Here, for the first time, Gov..Brown makes known his views, on the ‘Berkeley disorders, and he The Washington Post and Times Herald The Washington Daily News The Eventing Star on ; : . : .
