'Professors are always signing petitions about sumthing,' the Chicago Tribune sulked in an editorial of November 29, and went on to deny the right of professors at Northwestern University to give up their suburban detachment, defy the views of elected officials, and issue a statement against the Vietnam war. The Tribune complaint has lately been balanced by an opposite one, that professors don't sign petitions enough. This is Theodore Roszak's theme in an article, 'The Complacencies of the Academy,' which appeared in the New American Review.
