Bill Harvey, a senior liberal arts English major, said, "He's obviously an outcast. He belongs to the New Left and he smokes pot. He's anti-war and he burned his draft card. He has long hair and he wears sandals. He's become cynical because of the ridiculous condition the world is in and his inability to do anything about it. He's seeking the answers through meditation." "People should be able to make up their own minds and do as they please. Anyone who tries to restrict their freedom is either ignored or put down as a fool by the masses of conformists or maybe non-conformists. Who is to say whether they are the former or the latter?," replied Joseph Morris, a junior secondary Georgraphy major. Edward Coyle, a junior political science major, adds this final comment, "He stands for authority. People don't like authority. He'll say something and if people DO hear it; they don't necessarily have to do it, even though they know it to be right and might get guilt complexes if they fail to do it." The survey shows that students on this campus are listening to more than the beat of the music. Most of the interviews covered moral and social tendencies in their answers, with several of the answers definitely moving toward liberal thought in religion, human relations and drugs.
