Show I Page 2 October 29, 1963 The PARSON Letter To The Editor WELCOME ALUMNI Welcome back to Westminster, alumni! In all the rush of floats, bonfires, decorations and queens, we forget that you are actually the cause of all our fuss. Homecoming is really for you and it takes a moment for us to realize it. The campus has changed a great deal from the last time you were here. We have a new library now. Converse Hall, Payne Gymnasium and the Music Building have received new coats of paint. Administration offices have been remodeled and brought up to and date. Hogle Hall has been More important than these changes in our physical plant is the change of attitude of the students. They sense the tremendous growth and development taking place here at Westminster. It is good to have a part in building an institution that will go on and on. And this semester especially, the years of planning and hard work are finally showing tangible results. In enrollment alone Westminster has topped the national average of a 9 student increase with a fantastic 22 increase in the number of students. The senior class now 89, is the largest in the schools history. These facts are only a slight indication of the growth now taking place here at Westminster. The Parson wants to thank you for the support; and encouragement given to the school. Westminster is a school to be proud of. THANK YOU! The Gay 90 of Westminster is going to be a good Homecoming. the best yet produced here. The Parson would like to thank all those who have spent so much time and energy in preparing for the 1965 festivities. Dick Paff, SGAC vice president, is the Homecoming Chairman. Working with him are Yvonne DeMars, queen chairman; Byron Clayton, Parson Panics chairman; and Anne Show-el- l, parade pep club chairman. Thank you for a job well done!

Controversial issues are few. News is scarce. Items are hard to find. But, filling the front page with the drivel about the whole how enthusiastic school is about Homecoming, and how hard everyone is working to make the whole thing a success, and the other ten inches of it, was reaching a little too much. Are you hoping no one reads the front page? Or are you hoping no one notices the apathy and Let someone else do it; Im snowed under attitude? The push to Back Homecoming is one thing, but when you dont believe what you print (and I know you didnt believe that happiness-and-ligh- t stuff), how can you expect other people to believe jt? Our paper needs a firm basis for its stand. Your own ideas are the best start of that basis, and your ideas happen to be very good ones. Your editorial in the October 12 Parson proved that. So dont let someone else talk you into any more editorial. They dont make the paper better. Stick to your guns. TRADE MARKS COLA COMPANY, g ROBOT STUDENTS Continued from Page 1 added, since five or six of the colleges I visited now have it under consideration. It is the approach used at Colorado College in recent years. Among the colleges visited were Carleton, Claremont ( also Pomona and Scripps on the same campus), Florida, Presby- terian, Grinnell, Haverford, New College, Oberlin, Occidental, Parsons, Reed, St. Johns, Swath-morand Wesleyan. He also visited the Universities of Pennsylvania, Vermont and Washington. Despite the goal of small classes, I found that freshman English classes still are larger than they should be, Professor Krutzke reported. They averaged ' 25 student per class, Some colleges have as many as 35. He said that at the liberal arts colleges visited, freshman English is being taught by all members of the department, not just the junior men. On the whole, teaching in the liberal arts college is good, Professor Krutzke said. But he did find an air of smugness on some campuses. Most professors disagree with students claim that they are now overloaded with assignments and that they are becoming robots, Prof. Krutzke said. things 0 nW0MMM9 Bottlad under the authority of The Coca-Col- a Company by: Salt lake Bottling Co. i d STUDENT SPECIAL KEN'S DAY-NIT- E Laundercenter COIN OPERATED DRY CLEANING Lbs. for $1.50 (Reg. $2j00) (About 10 Skirts or Light Sweaters) Thru Oct. with Student Cards 6:30 9:30 p.m. Thursday thru Monday Pickup, Delivery Same Night See Pete McPhee, Carleson 7 Phone 8 466-032- j'joa Should SEE?

In response to inquiries from the press and others concerning the attitude of Oberlin College toward students participating in support of social causes and demonstrations, President Rob-- , ert K. Carr, in a statement here emphasized: I wish to state that, to the best of my knowiedge, no disciplinary action has ever been taken by the College toward students or against faculty members for such participation. Each individual is, of .course, responsible for his actions, including the risk of legal penalties imposed by the courts for violating the laws. Moreover, civil disobedience, involving almost by definition violation of law, is never engaged in lightly by a responsible, person, for, if history does not vindicate the cause and the action supporting it, the participant in a civil disobedience movement may end up being viewed by society as a common lawbreaker. In case of conviction for serious criminals acts, the College, of course, has the right to review the desirability of a students continued membership in the academic community, But this is, obviously, a matter quite different from disciplining students for involvement in social and political action or protest. The College in certain instances has helped students under arrest obtain legal counsel and Continued on Page 4 e, Editor Business Manager a i Oberlin Handles The Student Riot Toni Franzolino Kim Gregory Feature Editor Marilyn Pierson ' Allan Burkhalter Sports Editor Carol Kirkham Advertising Manager Allan Austin, Bernd Beutenmuller, Photography Bill Kittel, Tom Dawson Art Editor Tom Dawson Drama Editor Heather Maynard Correspondence Secretary Elayne Williams Music Editor Katie McBride Reporter Joyce Yount Letters to the editor must be in good taste, must be typed and signed by the writer in ink and must be limited to 250 words.
