UCCM, IOWA CITY JULY, 1971 IDEAS ISSUES INVOLVEMENT IDEAS: "..We (Campus Ministers) are troublers of the status quo, for I think we are called to raise issues for reconsideration and to stand with others who raise important questions about the directions of both higher education and the whole society." Cecil Findley, UMHE Regional Sect (Campus Min. Bulletin, June 1971) ISSUES: Looming large, but discussed very quietly, CABLE TV: now before the City Council (unofficially?), it could become the major communications development in our lives for decades. YET--WHO IS BEING INFORMED? WHO IS DISCUSSING IT? Nicholas Johnson says: "Its fate is now being determined in a grim political and economic struggle with the giant interests whose power it challenged--the broadcast industry and the telephone companies...Almost no one speaks for the public." There is room for a prophetic word od two from each of us toward the structures being formed for us to inhabit for generations. Reference: PROBE, UMHE pub., No. 5, p. 2. Copies at Office.
