ADMINISTRATION HAS NO "WE/THEY” Stating that Mthe intellectual, learning process is the CONCEPT1 STANFORD TELLS AAUP	raison d'etre of this institution,” President Stanford
launched into an informal talk with members of the AAUP Tuesday on an apologetic note of regret that the crowded schedule of his first 117 days on the campus had permitted him little opportunity to meet with the faculty. ”1 wish to reaffirm my own conviction that we are here to serve the student-faculty interaction,1' Dr. Stanford said, adding, "This is the purpose of the institution.” As to the announced subject of his talk, "The AAUP in University Life,” Dr. Stanford suggested "I would hope you will help us to inspire and encourage competent teaching as well as safeguard the interests of faculty members. I have never thought of the AAUP on one side, the Administration on the other. We are all working toward the same objective.” The AAUP can render further service, Dr. Stanford said, by consulting with him from time to time, and he expressed the hope that the new faculty government and Faculty Senate might also be a vehicle for a meeting of minds as to what means are best for achieving mutual objectives. Responding to a question regarding the possibility of funds for faculty research, Dr. Stanford said: ”1 would like to see us have a sum of money which could be applied for and which a faculty member could use for research because he's curious about it, not because a government agency wants it.” In opening the meeting, Dr. Sam Harby, AAUP president, announced that the "Works in Progress” sessions will be resumed this year on a monthly basis and will, as in past years, be open to all faculty.
