In Recent Years the term "alienation" has become popular among sophisticated and radical college students. The word expressed their sense of not feeling at home or "involved" either on the campus or in the larger world.

Today things have changed according to an editor of The Michigan Daily. "Alienation is becoming passe.

"The new trend is toward 'involvement'—in university affairs, the community, and national and international issues.

"The traditional idea of the university as a 'community within the community,' a place where students are sheltered in an ivory tower world for four years to become educated and to learn about the world, is out of focus with what, this new breed of student is searching for in a university.

"In effect, what today's university is facing is the students pounding on the door of the ivory tower. They want to get out, play an active role in the world, in a word, to become 'involved.' But the university is having a difficult time loosening its hold on students and revising traditional concepts of education and the role of students.
