tional Conference
cated to Understanding

STUDENT UNREST
and its IMPLICATIONS for Business

Here is a conference to stimulate a candid discussion between business,
college administrators, faculty and students. It will attempt to clarify the

issues now confronting university officials--soon to confront corporate of-
ficials -- as a result of changing attitudes.

This will not be a seminar of adults meeting to discuss the problems and
challenges of youth. Rather, an outstanding and diverse group of speakers
representing all points of view, students included, will examine the up-
risings now occurring on college campuses throughout the country. Following
these discussions, panelists including students, college administrators, and
corporate executives will discuss the implications for the business community.

For business executives this conference will be invaluable in providing:

-- discussion of how the corporation can attract and
retain the top college graduates.

communteation with students, black and white, moder-
ate and activist, on how and why they are changing

the universtty -- how and why their impact will be
felt in the corporation.

an understanding of the tssues at stake on the

university scene, and thetr implications for busi-
ness. .

suggestions as to ways the business community can
use tts organizational abilities and financial
strength to effect social changes.

“Ethically Sensitive”

By the fact of sheer numbers alone, your firm will hire many of the col-
lege seniors. Their attitudes on their right to govern society are totally
different from the graduates hired only 2 or 3 years ago. In most cases, job

interviews will not reveal this, since students frequently guard their remarks
in recruiting interviews.

The current ‘‘ethically sensitive’’ students demand a right to a part in the
management of all institutions in which they participate. Students want a

‘‘piece of the action’’ in college administration; graduates are already de-
manding a similar participation in corporate affairs.








Analysis of Campus Turmoil—Commentary in Depth

There are 22,800,000 Americans ages 18-24.

An understanding of the campus situation is crucial in comprehending
the changes which are already occurring in business. Monday morning

commentary will be presented by:

-- acknowledged authorities on the subject, including college ad-

ministration and faculty.
-- white student leaders.
-- black student leaders.
-- the Student ‘‘New Left.”’

Monday afternoon panelists of students, college administrators, and
faculty will look at business in light of demands made upon the uni-
versity. Why and how will the corporate community inherit the turmoil?
Separate workshops will be held with speakers to allow closer com-
munication between audience and panel.
