Takeover Of Universities By Left Wing

Just another example of a vocal minority trampling on the rights of others.....I wonder if it wouldn't be fair for those who support the military and anguish over the deaths of many of our sons and daughters could refuse to pay taxes to support universities and to pickup the tab for the tuition of these pacifists.

Canadian army belongs on campus

By Paul Berton

The University of Victoria Student Society thinks it knows best. It doesn't.

The society made a mistake this month when it decided to block the Canadian Forces from recruiting at a job fair in their building.

It sounds as if politics are getting in the way of presenting students with as many career opportunities as possible or letting them decide for themselves what's right and wrong.

The society says the military has no place in the Student Union Building, where the fair will be held, because it's stingy with information about the psychological, mental and physical problems soldiers have after serving.

Perhaps, but university students are not naive. They read like anyone else, if not more. They are more than acquainted with current events. And they're better than most at asking questions. Presumably, they can make their own decisions.

Fortunately, the move by the society has caused such a furor on campus they'll be allowed to do just that.
