Dear Bill:
I know you have been having your problems
and thought you might be interested in the comments
by Professor K. Ross Toole of the University of
Montana. He seems to have a rather interesting and
sensible approach.
I thought perhaps you had missed this
article.

Dear Bob:
Thanks so much for sending me a copy of the article by Professor Toole
of the University of Montana. I agree with most of what he has to say except
possibly in two respects. First of all, he overlooks the reasons underlying
the concern of many of our students no matter how illy expressed these senti-
ments are. Secondly, his solutions are splendid provided you have sufficient
faculty and student support for them. Perhaps you observed that President
Sowle at Ohio University suspended seven >knowknown agitators in the heat of his
confrontation but was overruled 13-12 by his own faculty senate. At this
point, he simply gave up the fight as I would have done too.
On a more happy vein, however, when are we going to have a round of
golf? Actually I believe it is my turn to play host. I will be in touch.
