Indeed, the University faculty is a leader in the movement, al- though the forces really shaping the spurt of faculty activity are the product of profound changes in American education occurring in the midst of a tempestuous so- cial and political climate. For the University is a member of that new class, the "multiver- sity"-a large, relatively imper- sonal institution, much less a community of scholars than a di- verse metropolis, contributing to and, hopefully, pioviding new di- rections for modern society. And the 1964-'65 academic year was above all else the year of the mul- tiversity: educators, the news me- dia and the general public all fo- cused their attention on its po- tential, its problems, its students and its staff. Close Scrutiny Most particularly, student un- rest and faculty activism have led to a close scrutiny of its faculty's roles as'teacher, researcher, cam- pus leader and social critic. A look at the University faculty can provide a typical picture of the varied phases of faculty life at a multiversity. Critics often begin by chargng that the multiversity stifles the man whose dedication and compe- tence as a teacher far surpass his proficiency in research, and it is true that few of the University's leading faculty members are pure teachers in this classical sense. Attract Researchers The University's numerous re- search facilities and its multitude of government and private grants tend to attract the researcher, and, though he almost always teaches some of the time, much of his energy and interest is directed outside of the classroom. Moreover, faculty members who are not naturally inclined to de- vote themselves to research often feel forced to doso anyway in or- der to attain status in the academ- ic community or even just to sur- vive the so-called "publish or per- ish" game. Yet, University officials deny that the "publish or perish game" has as pervasive an influence here as its critics allege. While they contend that the man uninterested in research is not very apt to be a stimulating teacher, they assert that the pure teacher is rewarded at the University for his profi- ciency in the classroom-although they admit that he may climb the success ladder more slowly than his research-oriented counterpart because teaching is harder to evaluate that writing. Campus Leader? But, researcher or teacher, the professor is a part of the Univer- sity community; his contribution to it, however, is usually small. A few individuals, of course, emerge as campus leaders. Never- theless, the average faculty mem- ber gives a minimal amount of time to University affairs. He rarely attends faculty meetings, contenting himself by serving on a committee or two, which study specific problems and compile re- more limited motion passed at a ports which, in turn, are referred March faculty meeting-a motior to other committees where the which outlines a few specifics foi process repeats itself. controling enrollment and lists During the past year, however, plans for further study of some the faculty has shown a few signs of the ideas presented in the re- of life in the arena of campus port. politics.

Cool Reception The proposed moratorium-a one-day walkout during which the group planned to give speeches on the diag instead of holding classes-evoked the wrath of some state legislators and received a cold response from the admini- stration. Influenced by some of their colleagues and convinced that public furor over the mora- torium was distracting attention from the Viet Nam issue itself, the continuously expanding group atmosphere blending intellectual- ism, and crusading zeal with con- fusion and exhaustion. The event signalled the start of a national campaign. The profes- sors wrote letters to friends on numerous other campuses and were greeted with an enthusiastic response: numerous teach-ins, of varying degrees of quality and ef- fectiveness, were held at schools all over the country, and in May a nationally televised teach-in was staged in Washington.

It emphasizes the importance of protecting the educational object- ives of the college as it expands, and, reasoning that too rapid ex- pansion would succeed only in giving lower quality education to more students, it recommends that limitations be imposed on growth when necessary to preserve aca- demic standards. These ideas are embodied in a Nam protests. Along with the usual, relatively minor displays of activism-most notably, a con- tinuing anti-Apartheid campaign involving a handful of faculty members-the Viet Nam spectacu- lar has demonstrated an unex- pected new spirit among the Uni- versity faculty; the activist spirit that in the past has been confined to isolated efforts by individuals has suddenly gained strength and organization. The Viet Nam movement began quietly last March 11.
