EDITORIALSCollege Shirking Responsibilty

One of the responsibilities of an educational institution is to give its students the highest quality of instruction avail­able.

Another responsibility just important is to insure his safety.

The recent rainstorms have made the internal roadways even worse than before. It is hardly a street anymore, but a path of monstrous holes.

Dangerous, destructive holes—it is unfair that students be forced to risk injury to themselves and their ears in the pursuit of an education.

The college is seemingly progressive in other ways—one new building finished, a second almost completed and a third proposed—but it obviously' could care less about the safety of its students.

Better Late Than NeverThis is a true story.The story of a small, relatively unimportant group of

people brought together by chance and computer.Not to mention the desire to learn.In most cases, desire to learn plus an excellent instructor

usually equals knowledge.Unfortunately, in this case, both students and instructor

have been stymied in their efforts.For eight weeks this particular class has been held in

the metal fabricating shop—American History 2003 to the tune of various clangs, bangs, thuds and groans—from the adjoining machine shop.

Those in authority now say the class will be moved by April 1.

Peachy keen.But better late than never.“What was that again, Mr. Mac!”

LITTLE M A N ON CAMPUS

A Mid-Afternoon's Dream . . . .by Bill Lux

Having stayed up the night before, 1 was quite fatigued when I entered the student union the other day. Without noticing the crowd within. I found a vacant table and laid my head among the visible evidence of a spilled coke and fell asleep. In the course of my needed slumber, myr mind search­ed until it found its way into the dimension of dreams. Past the administration building dedication I wandered, and stopped at the front door of the “new” student union. I will now relate to you my experience in the new student center.

The doors were of automatically actuated supermarket vintage. These devices beckoned me to enter. Inside I found wall-to-wall carpeting, leather upholstered furnishings, and a cute little reproduction of “Whistler’s Mother” above the men’s room sign. The atmosphere was Isoinber. To add to the mortuary cheer, there was piped in music of the liearts-and- flowers variety.

For the sake of curiosity, I inspected the menu which was wrapped in English leather instead of hung on the wall amidst the familiar coca-cola trademarks. Inscribed in it was anything from French pastry to open-flame broiled fillet of beef. The prices were at such an altitude, that discour­aging bank account could offer nothing but starvation. Speaking of prices, they were not listed as such but as do­nations. It appeared to be a fund raising gimmick to pay off the national debt. Incidentally, diners club credit cards were accepted.

The people in the buildings at the time looked bored and immovable due to frozen arteries. They were not occupied. In fact, the most exciting happening therein was a discussion of the psychology behind the printing of Webster’s Inter­collegiate Dictionary.

Engraved in the walls were reminders of things not allowed. To enforce these notices were bouncers resembling the village blacksmith. These were as welcome as a thumb tack in a grape stomper’s vat. Also on the walls were leather ribbon-like strips. The effect was that of a wrapped box turned inside out.

The lines of the striking knotty pine ceiling were altered only by simple chandaliers possessing a touch of Picasso. A flaming effect was cast upon the carpets and the hides of brave bovines which covered the tables.

Typical of a piece of architecture in this day and time, were opening windows of five cubits tall. One error of con­struction readily noticeable was the minimum distance be­tween the lower glass and the round outside. When being opened the windows could decapitate a midget cricket.

Upon completion of my tour of the new facility, I seated myself at one of the tables and fell asleep to “Rapsody in Blue.’’ I awoke to the clamor of Paul Revere and the Raiders in a smoke filled room. Hunger had set in during my sleep and I made my way to the lunch counter. I ordered and at the cash register I presented my diner’s club credit card. When it was rejected as payment, I suddenly remembered I was back in the familiar student center of niokles and dimes.

As loyal Americans, we too feel an obligation to serve. However, not willing to sign two years of our lives away— we decided to tackle a problem closer to home:

WHAT IS TO BE DONE WITH THE VANISHING HIPPIE?

A hundred years ago patriotic Americans were concerned1 about the Buffalo that were rapidly dis­appearing f r o m the Western plains.

Now we feel it is our duty to do something' about another uni­quely American Happening — the hippies — rapidly disappearing from San Francisco’s slums.

To preserve this heritage, we suggest a four point program to keep beads and bells around for our children.

One: Congress should legislate a “ Take a Hippie To Dinner Week.”

Two: The Post Office should issue a psychedelic stamp to com- merate th© Cause.

Three: Sell plasitic marijuana leves on V. H. (veteran hippie) Day.

Four: The government should subsidize the movement and give elderly hippies a reservation of their own.

Every true American will sup­port The Movement.

Sole Survivorby C. J. Anderson

On a cloudy Saturday afternoon two men armed' with 22 cal. rifles went hiking off into the thick, woody area of Northwest Arkan­sas. With relentless patience these hunters stalked their prey for hours, hoping to get a shot at a squirrel. Seemingly enough it was an ordinary hunting expenditicn except for one thing— all the squirrels seemed to have packed up and left. At dusk, with much disgust, the two hunters started on their return trip to where the car was parked. As they walked along, they fired into supposedly vacant squirrel nests which doted the surrounding treetops. Routine sniping continued for about twen­ty minutes, then all of a sudden a squeal was heard from one of the nests. The men began pouring in a great volume of fire on the nest. Hearing no more noise from the nest, one of the hunters climb­ed the tree expecting to find a dead squirrel, but instead he found four baby squirrels, only one of which had survived the or­deal. T :e baby squirrel is doing fine after being nurshed on Karo syrup and warm milk. The hunter estimates that the tiny squirrel is two weeks old, but he expects to keep it for a pet. He has named it Sole Survivor.

The Quiet Revolution... The Beginning O r Endby Susan Skinner

We were: talking — about the

space between us allAnd the people — who hidethemselves behind a wall of illusionNever glimpse the truth — then it iis far too late . .

John Lennon, Paul McCartney Summer.Riots or equality?Can equality be forced?School.Make C’s or go to Vietnam. Maybe go anyway.Job.“ Sorry, come back when you have more experience/’“ We’re going to have to lay some people off and. . .”Fun.The movies. Friday. Saturday.Beer. Friday—Saturday—Sunday.

Full of life, and promised life, America’s youth has drowned its

fears, frustrations and doubts in a sea of alcohol every week-end for years.

A relatively cheap, easily ob­tained remedy for pressure and confusion.

It is a point of reference, a common bond, a shared secret that makes friends of strangers— policemen enemies.

Yet, in spite of its benefits, youth is turning more and more towards a new savior. In a so­ciety such as ours is today—a

society that spends more money on tranquillizers and sleeping pills than it does on education and the so-called Great Society— it is only natural that sooner or later drugs would become youth's Messiah.

It has been a quiet revolution. The change from “ I just like the taste” to “ It makes me feel good” has developed in spite of the harsh glare of publicity cast on recent drug abuse.

Or perhaps, because of it?In this quiet revolution, the

world of many college students has changeid from spherical to capsule or cube shaped. The only limitations being the limitations of the mind.

It is too easy to blame any one segment of society for causing today’s drug probem. Perhaps it is unfair to blame society at all.

The older generation has been forced into accepting the blame for everything from Hiroshima to the lack of civil rights.

But this problem, this drug abuse, spreading like wildfire on a dry August afternon, is a unique problem of those' it infects. The youth.

The young college student. The person who no longer questions, because he knows the answers

Delinquents Seek Understandingby Hoyt Smotherman

The police do not understand . . the public does not understand . . and juvenile delinquency results.

The typical juvenile delinquent may be described as a person under the agei of 18 who has an emotional and an environmental conflict. Many solve their con­flict but those who do not become the problem of the juvenile au­thorities.

The major cause of delinquency cannot be found by studying only the delinquent. By comparing youths, several causes are dis­covered—the lack of love being the most common cause.

On January 7, 1966, a 22 year old boy was arrested for armed robbery and kidnapping. He had been out of the reformatory only three days when he was arrested. After robbing a cafe, he kidnap­ped two cab drivers in an attempt to get away. After his capture, he said, “ he was down on so­ciety, and was going to get even with it because no one cared for him then and never did.”

Another factor which leads to delinquency is the lack of ambi­tion on the part of the youth. The delinquent lacks the1 fundamental values of doing right. Society labels him bad1, and he tries to live up to his reputation.

Environment is a tremendous factor in the lessening or in­creasing of juvenile delinquency. It is said that each community breeds its own criminals. The roots of delinquency cover a num­ber of social ills—the first is the

general lowering of moral stand­ards in our way of life.

How does society deal with ju­venile delinquents? The most serious problem for the police is the parents. When the police are dealing with the juveniles, they find that much of the misconduct is due to the failure of the par­ents.

If the parents would provide proper guidance, most juveniles would not engage in such conduct that would require police atten­tion. The parents seem more, in­clined to pursue their own in­terests than to provide the guid­ance for their offspring.

Lack of communication between the police and the youth-service agencies in the communities often cause problems in dealing with delinquents.

Police say these agencies do not advise them of action with respect to juveniles brought to their attention. The agency per­sonnel, on the other hand, often attribute the hostility and bad be­havior of the' juvenile turned over to them by the police to the un­sympathetic treatment given by the police..

The community failure is also great in contributing to delin­quency. Communities fail to pro­vide activities for the young peo­ple.

The police officer exerts, or can exert, a profound influence' on the potential delinquent. If the patrolman is on foot, he can often curb the delinquent. When the patrolman walked the neighbor­hood there was very little delin­quency, but now that most of­ficers are in the car youthful crime is on the rise.

The -juvenile court is perhaps the greatest agency in solving the delinquent problem. The main purpose of the court is to salvage the child and to develop his emo­tional makeup so that he can be­come a respectable citizen. The system of probation is the means whereby the court seeks to ac­complish this end.

The training school, like the juvenile court, is primarily in­terested in retraining the delin­quent and making him an accept­able citizen.

The idea of youth participation is growing in this country. It is a feeling that gives rise to the theme that “ we must not do more for youth, but more with them.’'

Awareness on the part of the parents and society of their re­sponsibility holds the key to solving the juvenile delinquent problem.

Society can understand . . . the problem can be alleviated.

The Lions were rained out of a twin bill against Oklahoma State Tech Tuesday and contests with Bacone Wednesday.

The Tech games have been rescheduled for today if weather permits and if the field is in playing condition.

The Lions are scheduled to visit the University of Arkansas freshmen tomorrow but heavy rains in Fayetteville make that game doubtful.
