EDITORIAL

		The only word to describe the recent Sir George

	Williams crisis is "Sad": Sad for the students in-

	volved, sad for the professors, and sad for the admin-

	istrators. In short it was sad for all concerned and

	sadening for many not even remotely concerned.

		How could it have been avoided? We do not pre-

	tend to be qualified to answer this question, but it

	is our belief that it should have been avoided at all

	costs. We do not know on whom the blame lies. Indeed

	we doubt very much whether all the blame may be placed

	on one person or group of persons. However, it is the

	students involved who must take the consequences.

		Here lies the point of our editorial. All of the

	students arrested in the building at the time, whether

	or not they participated in the destruction, are by

	law accomplices and subject to the same penalty; in

	this case a maximum penalty of life imprisonment.

	Whatever the verdict, it will stain their record cards

	for the rest of their lives. When we reach these

	higher levels of education, we intend to keep our

	heads high and our noses clean.
