CAMPUS SPIRIT, IHBHE ART THOU?
Stanley M, Zdep
The "effervescence** of campus life seems,
so far, to be quite limited here at the
Highacres Campus c The question then
arises as to why si.eh a situation
should exist**!':? it dee to lack of
Interest on the part of the students?
Or is it because the Highacres''
activities facilities are inadequate?
A survey conducted by the Collegian
reveals that it is a oomb-i nation of
both factors. Perhaps our greatest
disadvantage is that Ilipha-re'oe offers
only a two-year arrangement..- Ma.ay
of our students intend to further
their education a,t either the main
campus or some other institution*
Therefore, they seem to be with-holding
their exhuberance until after their
transfer»
This definitely is an Improper attitude
a s two years of "college life" are
not being utilized to the utmost* These
years which are now before us are far
too short. The time to act is now
before we become "alumni,"
Also responsible for the present
lethargic condition are the frosh who
have not yet developed any appreciable
loyalty to the school, and the sopho
mores who are either unable c# unwill
ing to display the proper spirit*
The students thenselves, go on to
state tha t what we really lack is
rivalry both within and outside the
institution.
Rivalry, In its highestppoportions,
can be created through athletics.
Suggestions here range from baseball
through the rifle activities* Others
a re counting on the Collegian to
bear the brunt of spirit promoting by
publishing articles designed to instill
enthusiasm and respect for the school
a nd to point out Its advantages*
Our final factor in this situation is t
time itself# Time will tell wether our
a ttitude is to improve, become worse
or continue on Its hapless way*
