Castle Rotarians yesterday that college students today are no longer the apathetic group they were 10 years ago. Dr. Earland I. Carlson, president of Westminster College, spoke on "The'Restless Generation." Carlson said students today have "organized in so militant a fashion to reshape countries, colleges and the world at large." He added that the "phenomenon of activists" is fairly recent. He explained that 10 years ago students were criticized as being apathetic to their surroundings and education.

But in the last six months, Carlson said, students in at least 20 countries have led violent demonstrations and have closed-at least 36 colleges and universities around the world. Student activists "cry for change here and now," Carlson said. Their action "reflects on Choose CASTLETON CHINA Now! Cherish It Forever! And, be sure to register your choice with our Bridal Registry.

"I am not fearful of student power when it is responsibly expressed and when it represents student advice, not student tyranny," Carlson said. But the main problem of a college is to conserve the best of man's heritage and consider the ideals of students, he said. Carlson feels that Westminster is "an open marketplace of the ideals and philosophy of the college." He said "Westminster has not had any student violence" because the students have a grasp of the difference of "responsible freedom and irresponsible license." He suggested that a college "set up machinery to let students express their ideas in proper relation with the faculty, administration, board of trustees and alumni." Through rational discussion, he said, a college can grasp "who it is, where it came from and where it will go." "I'm glad to see that the pendulum of higher education is swinging toward an emphasis of law and order," Carlson said. Carlson said students should understand the American dream that "each person must always be held accountable for his actions."
