He was wrong when he inferred that the students had come to the point of blaming everything that had gone wrong on campus on the administration. Im sure he didnt mean t? be that inclusive. If the students and their attitudes do count, as they should, lets give them some credit. Ill admit that during the past year the students Council ,'1962 Reynolds Stan Clark Jim Morris, Rod Grunwald, Stan Clark, Warren Page Delana Berg, Ken Denne Judith Schwerii, Hughes, Cathy WARREN PAGE RESPONSIBILITY THROUGH FREEDOM PAPA PRATTLE THE GAMUT OR This years Parson has, if nothing else been different. It has run the gamut. It has published voluminous examples of unfettered trash, for this I Apologize. It has seen generally good reporting of old news, this is unavoidable. It has seen well founded criticism, and humor of merit, for this I am .thankful. Our criticism has run the gamut from students (editorial May 18) to faculty, to administrative in aptitude (editorial Jan. 26, from the president, June 1), like our trash material, our criticism has been unfettered arid Unlike our trash, our criticism has been well thought out, and worth reading. Unfortunately, our student critics have tended to be myopic dolts, and their faculty and administrative counterparts, though far from, dullards, have tended to remain silent. This is not to say that the PARSON is above reproach, rather that people with sufficient intelligence to do justice to its criticism have not honored us with it. They have been content to turn the job over to shallow people who have found it easier to say than to do, easier to destroy than to build, and easier to generalize than to analyze. The PARSON has run the gamut in records set. 2 has seen the Parson smash all previous records editions in, published (twenty), pages printed (ninety-eight- ), money spent (two thousand eight hundred), and money collected (nearly seven hundred). It has turned the hair of one editor yellow, destroyed the G.P.A. of a second as well as giving him the nerves of an old man, and so shaken a third that she is now engaged. The Parson has taken its toll? For this I wish to thank all and accesthirty four journalists, sories after the fact who who have helped produce this disgrace. Particularly your beloved savior and godfather, Warren Page, our indefatigable business manager Scrooge Reynolds, our vast proof reading staff Sue Loomer, our once sane managing editor Penny Hartwell, our political science editor Bill Iccabazzi, our news editor Penny Goldsworthy, feature editor Judy Durfee, photographer Stan Clark, our out of work sports editors Adrian Chan, and Dick Homrighouse and last also least Keith McCarty. I wish Ken Denne as much luck and as I have had this semester.

My duties have included, among others: decoding the truly magnificent vocabulary of one editor; convincing a second editor that its about time he learned to spell; agreeing with straight A English majors that proofIS difficult; and, reading to answer the how learning question, Why cant we run beer ads? It has been an education! I have had the questionable pleasure of watching feelings run high for many reasons among them: justifiable cause; seemingly justifiable cause; doubtful cause; and, totally ungrounded cause. It has indeed been an education! With this final issue of the 1961-GPARSON I find that I must pause and reflect upon all these happenings. They lead to but one conclusion. You, the PARSON staff of 19G1-Ghave been responsible for the best year of journalism in the entire history of the College newspaper if for no other reason than the FACT that you have caused all of us to THINK. For this reason alone, I thank you. WARREN PAGE " Another school year comes to an end. This has been a year of controversy concerning Civil Rights, more freedom of press for the Parson, and criticisms made for the Administration. Whether or not this controversy has accomplished anything wont be known until next year. Speaking of next year, now is the time for all students to begin considering next year, not only from an academic point of view but from a social or extracurricular one. Will we support our student government and student organizations? It is hoped that the students of Westminster -- Letter To Editor I have enjoyed all three letters vliich I have received from members of the Parson Staff, I guess I should have told you this whole year has been a lie. Chaplain McDowell does not exist, and there is no dean; W.U.S. is a myth, and we didn't get one single letter from a real student. Sorry Ed. . All The News That's Fit To Print criticize. we im- portant incidents that cause our concern, but the many little, less important personality conflicts we find forced to contend with Evaluating the past years im dicates that these conflicts have caused a depressive atmosphere among the students. This hasnt contributed to an understanding of as our-selve- dministrative aims. This feeling has been gaining momentum at such a rate that there is now a need to erase its cause. Its not our place to feel that we have a right to demand it. We do have a right to express and validate our opinions and hope that the "faculty and administration are equally concerned. We want a change ,so that we wont have the same problems next year. We are interested in this schools welfare and feel that we are making sense. ,J. Morris (and others) . will give their support to the campus functions so that next year (will be a memorable year from a participation stand point. Just remember that order to obtain a truly in well-rounde- d education you should participate in some activity other than the classroom. Granted the classroom is the most important but it cant do the whole job by itself. Congratulations to the yearbook staff for putting out one of the finest yearbooks to date. See you all next year. K. T. Denne GAME TIME We are all children at heart, its just that we have grown out of our old toys. Since remaining children is manda-tor- y at Westminster, I thought that to facilitate matters, we could invent toys suitable for college aged children. A simple form of college aged toy would be the doll. At this point I would like to thank my room mate for using half of my material at the spring-sing- , and chastise JERRY BOWDEN . . . puts foot in its mouth. DAVE BRANCH doll: wind it up, and it steals football its equipment. CHAPLAIN M cD 0 W E LL it wind it up, and punches your card. doll: RAY ALLRED doll: wind it up, and jt shines a flastilfght in your eyes. ROSE doll: wind it up, andit runs for office MOTHER YOUNG doll: wind NANCY one Warren Page for suggesting about a dozen dolls which it up, and it smells breath. Keeping in mind that playing games is as inevitable as chapel, I have stolen one which has good possibilities. The object is to invent a doll which does something, and name it appropriately. The doll can do anything; cry, talk, beat its head against the wall, cut its head off, anything, for example. . . . and it makes an airline reservation or abolishes things? ROBINSON doll: wind it up, and nothing happens. I VOX DEI ? its enacted Its not the few but the way CONCEPT 2 f POPGU have been overly concerned about a few unimportant items, and that other times we havent shown enough interest. But ther.es no doubt in my mind that the students know now what they have a right Jo complain about, how to complain and to whom to complain. This we have done. And now we are waitng to be shown where we are wrong. Again Dr. Duddys people and attitudes are what the students are concerned about. Its not administrative policy, g be Remember...
