Myth of College Conservatism Hy Hill Iceabazzl heard cellent example, the student be can A loud cry elethe IIUAC riots against conservative from the - ActivUnAmerican is It (House our of ments society. something to the effect that ities Committee) in San Franthe younger generation is be- cisco, but they were bold, more coming increasingly conservative in their ideology; thereby discarding previous thinking that the liberal element is prevelant in the younger group. By younger I am referring to the college age individual. I have always wondered how a fifty year old theorist can sit back and - decipher the actions of isa student. It twenty-year-olimpossible! I am of the opinion, it is the cry of anguish from the Right. It is echoed in order to prevent a decay within the conservative ranks. A student in College, unless he is unusually stupid, is an aware individual. He is a keen observer of all surroundlising events. He reads and is only tens. If a student casually imaginative, he is a reformer and tries to perceive and improve. His actions maybe seemingly reckless, an exd creative actions. This proved that the student is not a dormant vegetable, not willing to idly sit by and watch an absurdity created by his older generation. This is liberalism, this and only this, has taken our nation to such great heights, because through these uncultivated actions, great men, great ideas and a great nation have been conceived. Our country would surely be in a sad state of affairs if its younger generation was taken over by the shroud of conservatism. Conservatism, to me, is likened to obesity. When one is young he is trim and active, but as he grows older his obesity gains, until he is lethargic and cares not to move from his comfortable position. Conservatism breeds apathy, apathy means destruction. In this special "Welcome hsue of the Parson, I would like to extend sincere greetings and best wishes for the coming year. This column "From the Pres." will be a regular feature of subsequent issues and will serve as a media for answering questions and relaying information concerning student life. Also, this will provide a public reviewing of those opinions and controversies that will arise in the course of the year. Emphasis on the Student will Government effort and that information which I will intend for the studentbody. Your thoughts on any given subject should be addressed to the "Letters - to - the - Editor" section of the Parson. The mi cees, of Student Government Is dependent upon a working Council and the interest each of you have in d Your Student administration. Upon these points, the S.G. will attempt to operate efficiently and produce a betschedule of ter, events. The first step will be initiated during these weeks in the form of a Constitution amendment. Your support of this amendment is needed to effect a representative and functioning government. Again, welcome and best wishes. A.C. well-rounde- d Fred Pinkerton broken down into discussion groups, to be led by student leaders. The purpose of these discussion groups will be to give the entering student a chance to find out what a college education really is and to ask questions of the group leaders concerning their forthcoming college life. Academic as well as social aspects will be touched on in the discussion groups. Why certain classes must be taken, moral isues, campus life in general are but a few of the topics to be touched on. It is the hope of the student government association that by injecting this into Orientation Week the students can better introduce the entering student to college life. The adjustment of a student to college is not easy. We the students aim to try and help the entering student to make this adjustment as easily as possible ' and prevent him from making the same mistakes we have made in the past. This program is for you, the entering student, and you are urged to make the most of it. The adjustment to college life may be a great leal easier if you do so. new-progra- m Intramurals Call All Parsons The aim of the intramural sports program is to provide activities in a large variety for all Westminster students.
