Strange Sort
"Students need the strange sort
of confidence which seems to come
from exposure to outside influ-
ence," he says. "That's why
speeches, long talks, advice and
inquiry all will be necessary. The
campuses are too insulated."
Tom says that "militant students
invariably show weak understand-
ing of the wide historical, political,
social, economic and ethical con-
siderations which envelop their
particular actions. Further, the
American public rarely gets a
broad analytic interpretation of
student action.,
"Students often suffer from a
sort of political myopia which im-
plies irresponsibility and leads to
less than optimum effectiveness,"
he continued.
Deeper Understanding

wants to do something "socially
useful," Tom and others will at-
tempt to develop a deeper and
broader understanding of what is
actually going on among students
today.

Lout of the approximately 300 par-
ticipants receive books as prizes
from various legal publishing com-
panies.
The top 32 compete in their
second year in the Henry M.
Campbell Competition. This in-
volves writing a brief and arguing
a case, usually involving constitu-
tional issues before a mock United
States Supreme Court. This year
the case involved a hypothetical
"sit-in" demonstration.
Present Case
The remaining four participants
present their case before a five
man court consisting of the dean
of the law school, the professor
who prepared the basic case, and
three federal or state supreme
court judges, usually including a
justice of the United States Su-
preme Court.
The winning team receives $100
a piece while the losers gain $50
each. The other eight semi-final-
ists are awarded desk pen sets
worth $30 or an equivalent prize.
The top four also have the op-
portunity to participate in Nation-

communication and potentially the
key to the reduction of violence,
prejudice and fear.
"I suspect the reporter who,

Tom has said that the journalist
works on the assumption that he
wishes-through his writing-to
shape the character of his environ-
ment and to take the responsibility
for the changes he effects.
Those who know Tomn Hayden
know he will do both of these.
