Page Two College is a trying time (these are the times which try students’ souls) and we are constantly being challenged to defend our worth —to ourselves, our friends, family, professors, and the society in which we live. So often people refuse to accept a person as he really is but rather expect him to be someone he isn’t. We all play our game of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by tampering with the lives of those around us. Some may protest that this is caring, but is it necessary to set others’ ideal for them? What happens to the personal freedom involved? We must discourage others from playing with something that is so essential to our own self development. We can encourage caring, but not to the point of interference. College is a questioning time. It is crucial to question the fun damental beliefs we experience in growing because without this questioning life would be lifeless. However, so many people get hung up on the questions them selves and neglect to search for answers. Now is the time that the ideals w.e have established thus far in life and those that we are formulating now are being questioned, which is good.

The value of a human life is questionable to some, and often, I imagine, we all question our own worth to ourselves and others we are involved with. We all set ideals for our life pattern, but how we maintain those ideals is a separate thought. By keeping our ideals high through the constant questioning and turmoil all around us, we can see life in so much more than can the plodding realist. Perhaps you feel that school is irrelevant, but people aren’t. And the ideals which they represent offer the uniqueness of life in a variable living environment such as the one in which we live. College is a time of many times. It is for trying, it is for questioning, but most of all it’s for growing. College is a cradle which we all must leave sometime. But we must also be able to appreciate the privilege of the life that we have now, and maintain that which we’ve developed so far and are still developing. These things are ours...
