Too As a defender of the first amendment i would be the last to try to deprive the students of their peaceful voice on any subject. But what Many of us were interested to know was whether Yale had become a closed forum responsive to Only one Side the leftist Side in the social arguments that have been wracking the nation. An Early Effort had been made by the Yule administration to have undergraduates visit the various reunion Headquarters even to the extent of living in with the alumni for three Day period to Tell about the Campus mentality.

The White haired conservative Leader said Britain a economic position was poor and he hammered again and again on High prices and Low conservative administration was not expected to change Britain a stance in world affairs radically.
