...Roosevelt was one of the greatest heroes who ever lived," says the Y.A.F. chairman, Yale Law Student Robert Schuchman, 22. "I'm rebelling from that concept."

One big persuader is professorial pressure of "liberalism, liberalism, liberalism -the most illiberal thing that students meet on campus," says English Professor Bennett Weaver, sponsor of the Y.A.F. chapter at the University of Michigan...

But here also an additional factor cannot be made into the main factor without a distortion of the whole picture. Surprising for me and many others was the predominance of students in the demonstrations. We were told that the students consider themselves as the future leaders of the nation much more confidently than they do in America.
