Summary:The nature of student activity in the UK is analyzed in an attempt to distinguish those circumstances likely to lead to strong pol'al student movements. In the past 2 things have tended to hinder such movements in the UK: the English conception of a U characteristically involving close relations between teachers & students & emphasizing their common interests, & the existence of a nat'ly organized pol'al party of the left to champion radical causes. Since the late 195questionaires however, the situation has changed. New ideas about the scope & function of higher educ, increasing N's of students bringing new claims to take part in the running of their instit's, & disillusionment about the readiness or ability of the Labour Party or any nat'l movement to put into effect radical policies have led to a great increase in pol'al activity among students who feel the threat to their own interests or ideals.
