NOW AND IN THE '30'S:
Assesses Berkeley's Effects

Across Campus

ECKERMAN ON EDUCATION:

fI

Discusses Social Advantages

EDITOR'S NOTE: David Boroff,
associate professor of English at
New York University, is author of
the book, "Campus U.S.A.: Portrait '
of American Colleges in Action."
By DAVID BOROFF
The recent sit-in and demon-
strations at the University of
California, with their insurrec-
tionist overtones, have focused at-
tention on student movements.
Quiescence in the nineteen-fif-
ties has yielded to activism in the
sixties as the timidities and inhi-
bitions of the McCarthy era have
receded from memory.
How does campus activity today
compare with that of the past?
What proportion of students is in-
volved? What effect will the
Berkeley episode have on cam-
puses elsewhere? A glance at some
representative institutions enables
one to offer a few cautious and
highly tentative appraisals.
Striking divergencies a p p e a r
when one compares the sixties
with the thirties, that golden age
of student protest.
In line with the general shift
of the nation's center of gravity,
the core of student activity has
moved west.
It is no accident that the most
dramatic student eruption of the
decade should have taken place
in California and that such Mid-
western schools as Oberlin and
Antioch have emerged as centers
of civil rights activity.

Three decades ago the locus of;
protest was in the East in prole-1
tarian schools like City College. I
Moreover, the militiamen of
dissent are no longer working-
class students but middle-class
young men and women in quest
of a cause--even, one is tempted
to add, in search of a working
class. They have found their cause
In the civil rights movement and
a simulacrum of the working classj
of the thirties in the Negro masses.
Among the activists, something
new has been added - graduate
students. The exploited coolies of
the academic hierarchy-at once
disaffected yet highly sophisticat-
ed-graduate students played a
key role in the Berkeley drama.
Add to their ranks, the colleg-
iate dropouts and those strange
underground men living at the
fringe of any academic commun-
ity, and you have a heady brew
of the possessed and the dispos-
sessed.
Movement Nonideological
Unlike the student movement of
the thirties, campus protest today
is essentially nonideological. That
is to say, the factionalism of the
thirties is absent, and various
groups have coalesced around cer-
tain issues, as at Berkeley, where
even Goldwaterites participated in
the Freedom of Speech Movement.
Despite the youthful contribu-
tion to the civil rights movement,
however, the suspicion persists in
some quarters that the insurgency
of the young cuts deeper than in
the thirties and is directed against
the notion of society itself.
Protest methods also provide
points of departure from the past.'
Although demonstrations were not
unknown to earlier generations of
students, and the sit-ins is a tra-
ditional weapon of labor, civil dis-
obedience on the student front is
new.
Certainly, the notion of par-
alyzing a great university exceeded
the audacity of students in the
thirties.
There is, of course, a poignant
irony about the anxiety adults are
now expressing about student po-
litical activity. Some say omin-
ously that Berkeley students are
emulating a Latin-American style
of political disruptiveness. How-
ever, for at least a decade now,
the elders of the academic com-
munity have been encouraging
students to commit themselves.
Middle-aged disquietude is in
excess of the facts. Though stu-
dent militancy seems to be grow-
ing, there is little of the virulence
elsewhere that manifested itself
at Berkeley.
Stanford, less than 100 milesI
from Berkeley, maintained its
composure in recent weeks. Money
was raised and petitions were
signed for the embattled students
at the University of California,
but there was no flareup over
local issues.
And though Stanford sent a
fair share of students to Missis-
sippi last summer, there has been

DE KALB, Ill.-Americans may,
have been oversold on the in-1
dividual income and status value1
of college education without be-
coming fully aware of the advan-
tages to society in general, a Uni-I
versity researcher said yesterday
at a conference of the American
College Public Relations Associa-
tion.
Prof. William C. Eckerman, as-
sistant head of the field section
of the Survey Research Center,
said that "the all-important so-
cietal advantages of a well-educat-
ed populace have not been recog-
nized by the majority of our citi-
zens."
As a result, he said, Americans

ments.

critical importance for the society
as a whole. Only five per cent of'
the population mentioned these
factors when asked about reasons
for sending a boy or girl to col-
lege."
Values
Among the values of education
cited by Eckerman were: the
broadening of the individual and
development of such things as in-
dependence of judgment, critical
thinking, and creativity; the de-
velopment of a highly trained
work force that will raise the na-

tional standard of living; the eas-
ing of such serious social problems
as juvenile delinquency, crime,
and unemployment-prejudice; the
safeguarding of our rights and
institutions in a complex age and
the fostering of successful inter-
national economic competition
both with communist countries
and our allies.
"Highly educated, higher in-
come people are more aware of
and concerned with the less tang-
ible benefits to be derived from
a college education," he reported.
