Your Editor Speaks

$1,200 I understand that oneCouncil member had to shell out$15 from his own pocket to paythe police.

I thlnk the lack of student at­tendance at their school dance Isas deplorable as the lack of anyteacher attendance (with one ex­ception) at the Dean's List cere­mony that was held Monday at12:30 when presumably all teach­ers were free.

But the Council is also gulltYin not realizing that this is 1967and that "Gary and the U.S.Bonds" has as much d ra wingpOwer today as Frank Mezzan­cello playing the kazoo at Carne­gle Hall •

I also realize that the Councildid not have the funds to get abetter group: but it seems tome then that the intelligent actionwould have been to not hold anevent which everyone knew wouldbe a failure.

Dear Dr. Gauvey:It was learned from a reliable

source that the new Bristol cam­pus would be opened in seprem"ber of 1967. This campus is toconsist of pre-fabricated build­ings that are to be constructedthis summer on the campus site.The school is to have 200 fresh-.men students only. It was alsostated that the students presentlyattending RWJC would not ableto go directly into this schoolafter graduation due to a differ'"ence of courses.

If these statements are true,then why haven't we been in­formed. If they are not true"then we would like to know theentire story on Roger Williamsfuture.

We as students feel that wehave a definite right to knowthe true facts. Also as studentswe are an intricate part of thiscollege just as the facultY is,so why does the facultY knowand this news has been kept fromthe ears of the students. Every...time a member of the admin­istration is asked about thesequestions they evade the topic andlook at us as though we commit­ted a crime. This is not a gram­mar school lets all act likeadults and handle this in an adultmaIUler.

A majority of the students arebehind us and we want action andwe want it soon.

lf you are dissatisfied withRoger Williams Jr. College ortired of your life here, just trysomething different. You'll findout that the RWJC way is the onlyway. In a recent survey it wasnoted that 89% of all RWJC stu­dents are greatly relieved andoverjoyed to return here at theend of vacation (proof positive).

The most you can dois to scream back "Bourgeoissavage!" but it does no good. forntight makes right and besidesyou must feel pitY for those lostpeople with holes in their souls.

But verily I say unto you:Two years is a short period inwhich to live a lifetime. Fur"thermore these four years mayoffer what no other period in yourlife can replace. SO take ad·vantage of RWJC and experienceit fully. We will undoubtedly haveto face the tension and distressof the outside world eventually.But as long as we are aware ofour ultimate responsibilitY to therat"race. what harm does it doto ignore it for a while?

We are told not to try to liveour Odyssey in these our earlyformative years, but there is akind of RWJC Odyssey and anaccompanying responsibilitY toit. That is not to let your RWJCyears slip by without making afew waves. Live, work, and lovebut don't do it on a superficiallevel

Roger William's comparativeminute size presents a perfectopportunity for this close inter·communication. And is this notthe factor which has distinguishedthe elite Eastern colleges for somany years?

Roger Wiliiams will not be­come a Harvard or a Brownovernight. In fact few if any ofus will be around to see RogerWilliams reach its full maturity,but a foundation must be laidsomewhere and the present stu­dents have the opportunity to laythat foundation and watch theircreation grow.

The project carries a dualresponsibility on part of the stu­dents and the administration. Thestudents must make the effortand the administration must rec"ognize the movement as a sincereand mature expression of yOlUlgadult ideals. The task will not heeasy for either group but the re­wards will be more thansufflcentin hoth spiritual and monetary.!lSpects.

Presently apathy reignssu­preme at Roger Williams. Pos­sibly because most students con­sider their stay at Roger Williamsa short transition period betweenbigger and bener things. Butwhat a majority of -the studentsfailed to realize Is that thesebigger and better things mightcome about a lot sooner andeasier if a sense of inter-com­munication developed within theRoger Williams community.

The student must prove to thefaculty and adminstration that heis mature and capable to helpdetermine the direction in whichRoger Williams shall travel inthe next few years. Not neces­sarily bydemonstation, for RogerWilliams Is not a Berkeley andneed never become one; all thatIs necessary Is the honest anddirect discussion of the students'feelings with the members of theadministration and the continualpromotion of the future image ofRoger Williams.

Even ifliberating,man's freedom, in my estimation,must forever be respected.

TAYLOR: This is what TimothyLeary claims LSD is capable ofdoing. It expands the consciousnessand awareness.

HEBERT: It seems to me that aboutone hundred years ago a great manypoets experimented with hashishand used the very same reason fordoing so.

TAYLOR: Do you think that it's adistorted view of life?

HEBERT: I think that if it isn'tcontrolled by the intellect it isbasically dangerous. I think theintellect must be untrammeled.

DUNN: Do you think this is some­thing subject to the individual orshould ·it be a dictate of the gov­ernment of the surrounding com­munity?

ON EDUCATION

SELLE: One of the main problems ofeducation today is the demand thatone become specialized in a certainfield. One has the conflict of theneed to become "well-rounded" inone's education. How do you feel astudent can specialize in a certainfield and become competent in itand still have a "well-rounded"education?

HEBERT: Naturally. this is a ques­tion of time. If a person is extreme­ly eager to specialize from the verystart. there isn't much opportunityfor broadening a person's outlook.If not. and I hope not, a studentshould, within the curriculum,select a great variety of courses indifferent disciplines.

SELLE: In other words, you feel thata student should first take a varietyof subjects to round him out andthen go on to specialize?

HEBERT: I do.SELL E: Dr.. it's been said that by

1975 the accumulation of knowledgewill double. How can we cope withthis problem stated originally?

HEBERT: Well,. I think in spite ofquantity involved, there is alwaysthe possibility of selecting what isessential in many disciplines, andthis is what we should acquire. Noone is going to be a full physicist, afull chemist, a full philosopher atthe end of the second year of collegework. I think that it is absolutelynecessary for a student to comeinto contact with what is essentialin a discipline and in twenty orthirty years or a hundred yearsfrom now I don't believe this willbe any such obstacle because whatis not necessary will simply bedropped and be replaced by what hasbecome vital. I'm inclined to thinkthat the change will be qualitativeand will affect the quantitive aspect.Certain things that we consider im­portant now will not be so con­sidered in 20 years from now.

TAYLOR: Dr. Hebert, it seems to methat sciences and humanities aresomehow opposed to each other.The scientist is concerned with"how things move" but the humanistis concerned with "why thingsmove."

HEBERT: I personally see no op_·position. It's a different way ofapproaching reality. The scientistcan be, and often is. a humanist. Idon't see why the sciences areclassified as being different fromthe humanities. It seems to methey're really part of the humani­ties as SUCh. Anything that con­tributes to the development ofman's mind, in my estimation, ishumanistic in essence.

FUCKS UNUMITED

WHAT IS AN INDIVIDUALdependent, not independent anda dependent individualist is acontradiction of terms.

The problem lies in the factthat students are not given theopportunity to create (for them­selves) their own ideas. and notin the fact that they are not al­lowed the opportunity to expressthem.. Our courses in college to­day are generally based on "thisis, that is. these are--acceptthem" and the stress is on thethoughts of others. The stressshould be shifted to what areYOUR thoughts, how do YOUfeel about this or that concept.The would-be individua1ist is notpresented with the full specUutnof opinions on each idea; itis difficult for him to gatherand disect concepts and to de­cide which one or which com­bination is to be hi s--or wheth­er he should reject thoo e pre­sented to him and formulate hisown--if he is not given a com­plete list.

A full presentation of all thefacts is needed in every course.Only by presenting the srudentwith a complete range of ideascan he gain a true education.and only by a careful exam­ination of these ideas can a per­son intelligentally and rightfullybecome a true individual

But it never should be forgottenthat the conception of an inde­pendent opinion is the most im...portant aspect of its: evolution,and the expression of that opinionis not to be considered as sig­nificant as its conception. Thetrue Individual reaIizes this andtherefore places his own opinionon the highest plane, and its ex­pression and what others thinkof it on a secondary level

There is so much talk todayabout individualism and abouthow administrations (academicand governmental) have ignoredand crushed any potential thatan individual has to express him­self. Individualism is lost inthis computerized age and stu­dents are demanding the oppor­tunity to express themselves;the demonstrations at Berkleyare an illustration of this. Thesedemonstrators cry out, "Nobodyknows that we have our ownIdeas: nobody knows that we aredifferent from the ordinary. theaverage!"

They have missed the pointThey have missed the conceptof the individual. They appearto cry out and say. t. A personis not an individual unless some­one is aware that he is. He isnot an individual unless he hasexpressed. so that everyone willknow that he has his own ideas...

A true individual doesn't carewhether or not anyone knows ofhis existence. He is self-suf­ficient. He doesn't feel thwartedbecause he is not permitted toexpress himself. He feels angerperhaps, but not frustration. Heis--that's all that matters. Hedoesn't base his idea or opinionof himself on what others thinkof him. Someone who does--whofeels that everyone must knowwhat he is in order for him tobe--is a fake. A true Individualbases his opinions, not on whatothers think, but on what he

we have the right to prevent thepeople of Vietnam from decidingthemselves what they wish to do?It seems to me that at the presenttime, these people are simply be­tween two fires and that's aboutall. They are not free to act inany way. They have to take ordersfrom one side or the other. Therewere certain international under­standings, and apparently, for somereason, we have been feeling thatwe are not concerned with theseagreements. That in itself is some­thing which I find deplorable.

SELLE: Do you feel that if we left,the people of South Vietnam wouldhave a choice?

HEBERT: Well, I am told that evenif we won the war militarily, thesystem that is likely eventually tobe in force is the communisticsystem. There is no way of ourwinning what we are fighting for,unfortunately. It seems to be this,if we do not make of Vietnam acolony, there isn't much that wecan do in the future, that apparentlythe vast majority of the people thereseem to favor the ideas of the Com­mittee on Liberation, at least thisis what one reads very often inthe reports of people who knowabout this Vietnam situation.

ernment has the responsibility ofsetting up some scientific researchin the direction of LSD?

HEBERT: I would think that what wewant with regard to LSD or any­thing else is knowledge. Now, howmany people are to go about dis­covering this knowledge - we haveto obtain specialists who are fam­iliar with this sort of thing.

SELLE: Could you comment on thewar in Vietnam and whether or notwe have a moral responsibility tostay there or to leave?

HEBERT: I don't imagine it is easyto settle this question. If you askme what my position is, I do thinkpersonally that we should no doubtleave. I don't believe that our pre­sence there is justified, and I don'tthink that what we are doing isesemplary.

Then, there is the arguement thatsince we are already there, weshould do something about it. Butit doesn't change the basic natureof the thing: That we have, basic­ally, no reason for being there now.I'm not going to say that we arenot eager to stop the spread ofcommunism. The question is do

of economy and standards. Manytimes the unfolding of the in­dividual along the lines of hisown insight is frowned upon.We assert that one of the mainobjectives in education is to teachstudents how to think and to thinkconstructively.

If we succeed in this objective,there obviously would be evi­dence in the end product. Con"tributing factors to creativity aremotivated by Interest, artirudes.and sensitivity to problems aswell as 0 the r tempermentalfactors.

WHAT'S HAPPENEDTO ,CREATIVITY ?

The history of education ofages past plays an impOrtant roleIn the formulation of one's phil­osophy of education. In view ofthese past theories and. exper­iences we realize that educationis bound to suffer due to itslimitations in visioIL

We, living In the twentiethcentury, are at an advantage aswe have within our reach thephilosophical foundations of ed­ucational thoughts of some of thegreatest educators of the agesas well as the thoughts of thosenot so great.. We can follow theprogress education has madefrom the times when religious andeducational instruction was con­sidered as one through the lastthree centuries of scientific ad"vancernent. We can wade throughtheir successes and their falluresin search of our own philosophyof education and in quest of crea­tivry.

But to put into words one'sown philosophy of education is noeasy task. and to apply it to ac­tuality is even harder. But noteacher who is held responsiblefor the giving of knoWledge tosearching minds can come beforehis srudents without first havingformed some type of philosophy.Even If this philosophy changesfrom day to day: there must besomething to take its place.

Education should be a processby which man becomes enlighten­ed. It should be an art. It sbouldbe like clay in the hands of apotter. molded and remolded.tested and retested to meet thesatisfaction of the artist,

The sucess of this art is notmeasured by the perfected sys­tem, but by the influence of boththe artist and the art made uponthose in subject. The artist andthe art when in harmonious in­teraction move the learner fromIgnorance to knowledge which isone of the greatest rewards ofthe art,

As an art, educationshould aimto help man receive all the goodof knowledge. There are limit­ations. however. We can onlyproceed as the natural capaci­ties of the learners and teachersand the amount of resourcesallow.

Education can also be a IX>si­tlve or negative force in ourtimes. It can be used to promotethe seeds of war and injustice anda struggle for power. But we cannot underestimate its pOSitivepower which If properly utl1lzed.may surpass the negstive. Thinkof the greatest teachers of alltimes: Buddha, Socrates, Con­fucius, Jesus.

One of the most importantfactors in education should be thedevelopment of CREATIVITY.Too often theeducationalprocesskills any creative drives andis concerned with only theimita­tion of the past,

To be creative would aemandinsight on the part of the srudent,The essence of any art is cre­ation and to create one mustwork with PURPOSE and TRUSTTO lNSPlRAnON. The teachershould try and promote creativ­ity by stimulating srudents, byuncovering hidden talents and byrespecting the originality of thestudent. .

Today we frequently hear thecnarge that with today's mass­educational methods. the develop­ment ofcreativity is discouraged.The student is under pressureand must conform for the sake

What is the purpose of thePolitics Club? Bob Monroe,President of the Club, "it is toeducate and enlighten the studentbody about the world of politics,to bring speakers to inform stu­dents about the more significantissues of the day, and to ex­change ideas.• ,

Exchanging Ideas is a mustfora sucessful club, especially fora political club. How do we doit? There are many ways but thesignificant are first: invite spea­kers, second: discussions withspeakers, third have teach ins.When all three are combined. we~~.ll then the External pan ofthe club.
