Essay "The 20th Century vs. The U of R"
Dublin Core
Title
Essay "The 20th Century vs. The U of R"
Subject
Description
The 1967 edition of the Messenger's theme was "controversy." Its final piece, "The 20th Century vs. The U of R," argues that the University should have less of an influence on students' morality and not act as their "guardian." The piece's author, Bill Owens, addresses that the University has "many more problems; some very poor quality housing, discouragement of entrance to members of certain ethnic groups, etc." and claims that this is because of a lack of student leadership.
