Here s Humanities by Judith Hughes During Living Issues Week, Donald Doxey, of the art department, and John A. AYolfer, instructor of psychology, of- fered ideas many thought provoking concerning individualism. It was clearly brought out that what is usually thought of as individualism is in actuality a myth. The beat-nicfor example, is merely just another beatnick, al- k, though every beatnick bel- ieves himself to be quite an individual. The behavioral scientist, White, says that there is no such thing as individualism; but that it is merely a fantasy. No one can entirely be an individual or be a type not existing, Jo already achieve the full effect of individualism and creativity would be like imagining a color one had never seen. Mr. Wolf-e- r and Mr. Doxey agreed that although there are no exact true original thoughts, man does have the power to formu Leslie late past experiences into a new symbol or idea. Any creative process must, therefore, have a platform from the past. A prime example is the artist. He must create, yet rely on already created matter. Mr. Doxey stated that the great painters suffered for their creativity in their day. They were sharply criticized and many were shunned by society. Originality almost always has to suffer to be of any value because it occurs when present ideas are challenged. Individuality can be so clearly expressed through the medias of art. History is recorded through art. Human experience and emotions make etchings. Creativity suffers, but it also lives. News Brief Why 1 am a Republican was the subject for an address made by Mr. Kent Shearer. Chairman of the Salt Lake to County Young Republicans, C0.V.I0HT ., TH. s 1st '' ' b- ; by Keith McCarty Dear Mother, Thanks for the cookies you sent me. Id have eaten them all, but I was attacked by two upper classmen on my way to my room. They rippe open my package and ate 42 cookies, 5 and 6 at a time, all the while cackling and screaming about SAGA (only they called it something else). I guess they dont like the food there; they looked hungry (the big one weighed 9i pounds ). I live in a new dormitory, which everylxKly call Walden Hall. This is prolvably correct, since every time it rains, we have a big pond out in the patio. Everybody has a mall box. Most of the students either throw everything away or push it back through, on to the floor. I cant see why; every day the Dean takes time to send something new. (Hes a nice man with a little red notebook). . - fw. L, y- - x w r'-- i xi 1 Fix Of The Week Guess Who! Jenkins Airs oP tnion Bruce M. Jenkins, Utah.. Democratic candidate for the United States House of Representatives, spoke at the Young Democrats' kickoff event for this years campaign Friday, October 11. Mr. Jenkins commen'od that the United States has more freedom now ihan when this country was first put together. He illustrated this statement by shaking of the public education system cien to all and the broadened rights of the common working man. Emphasizing Utahs dejtend-enc- e on the federal government, Mr. Jenkins named the Cancer Research Center at the University of Utah as an example. Mr. Jenkins stated further that the national government employs the greatest lercentage of the working people residing in Davis county. Candidate Jenkins warned the voters to beware of symbols such as rubber stamp, etc. He described these as techniques devised to make the public stop thinking. He urged the voters to look into the issues rather than being influenced by political cliches. I)r. 0. T. Driggs, commenting on the speech said, It was a speech without .excitement, but with content. Mr. Jenkins, is the first of the candidates to speak on the campus. The college has extended an invitation to all candidates and political figures to do the same. Letter My classes are great. Dr. Driggs teaches history, Mrs. Stanley teaches biology, Mr. Ewbank teaches sociology (only Ive been locked out twice thats rather embaras-- . sing to stand out in the hall and yell, Hey, let me in) and Miss Marlmon teaches English. Stanley and Marimon are very' nice, but Dr .Driggs never smiles. Yesterday lie admitted that everything hed been saying was a lie. I think hes a communist. Please send me more money, because Mr. Gunn (hes the business manager) is following me again. I must leave now Its 9:45 and I have to go to chapel. Everyone is required to go, but Im the only one that ever listens to the speaker. All the other kids have their heads down (I guess they're all praying.) Your son, Grundig LEFT TURN Hill Icabnzzi I should like to take a line or two to thank Mr. Herbert for his letter. It was very well w'ritten, but following the typical conservative path, baseless. He merely pointed out that the conservative takes a while to think out his next move and to survey every possibility before doing so. 1 am sure that the sloth does exactly the same thing, but does he get anywhere? Liberalism is not a mad impetuous leap into the unknown. It is a well calculated step forward. It is this step forward that differs it from conservatlsm.A liberal, unlike his conservative counterpart, is not willing to sit on his backside and wrait for an opportunity to move, but will make an opportunity to arise. He makes the fullest extent of his God given talent to work and progress, not to, as Mr. Herbert so eloquently think, think, pointed out, think, think, think, think, ad infinitum. Getting back to the sloth he may ponder at some length his next move, and it may be a safe move, but at this point, I will rest assured, that every one else will have passed him by. But he is safe, and to be sure ignorant. Let us not liken ourselves to the sloth. Let us Dike that bold step forward, and rise from the mediocrity or conservatism. Fortunately we are under a liberal administration. I dont believe that Ive noticed any chains of servitude dangling from anyones neck. the Political Science club. Tuesday, October 16. Similar speeches are scheduled for the near future concerning being a Democrat, a Liberal and a Conservative. COCA-CO- JACK PURCELL LACE TO TOE i ALL COURT BERTELL'S SHOES Sugar House NexHoK.O'B.
