A TIME AND PLACE by James A. Madura Liberalism implies liberty. Our nation was founded on liberty. The Bill of Rights states our basic freedoms: speech, press, assemble, petition, and religious preference. Does the Bill of Rights include the freedom to live? NO. Consider the freedom for a moment. Do you practice it as you are free to do? From popular judgment you probably don't What I'm saying is, do you lire the way you want to and still follow the oblig ations and standards of common society? Almost all people are hindered by the demands of-the world and its people. Try to live the way you want to, I promise you, you will be criti cized for what you may attempt. I or der to live a happy, successful, rad iant life wenmutt live as other people say to. This is the teaching of society Although we may find what we want, liv ing as we want to may not seem proper to other people. For example, consider a guitar-playing, poetry-reading, ill dressed gentleman in Greenwich Village. He may be perfectly content with his life; still he is looked down on by society because he has no obligations, no bills to pay, no grass to cut, no children to worry about. Now, one may live as he wants to yet still be in tune with the rest of the world. This is a small problem. Your conformity with society depends greatly on how you wish to live. Many people live very happily just as society stands, whereas to break away to live the way some people would like to would go against the standard. Next week I'll continue with emphasis on individualism towards society. WALKER HITS THE OUTER FRINGE Behrend often feels lost and forgotten on the cold outer fringes of the commonwealth. And A often, as S.G.A. looks at its mea ger bank balance, they wonder if University Park is still aware of Behrend's existence. They are: Eric A. Walker, President of the Pennsylvania State University, will be at Behrend this Wednesday at 2:00 p.m. E.G.A. is sponsoring an informal coffee hour similar to the one last fall in which students had an opportunity to talk to Lt. Governor Raymond Broderick. Students will surely utilize this opportunity to talk to Dr. Walker, for it is an honor to have him on our campus. As Bob Michaels says, "It may be the closest you ever come to seeing this man." Walker is obviously a very busy and important figure at Penn State. (But who's Bob Michaels?) PROGRAM COM:rxhs CLEVELAND BOUND The Behrend Program Committee has taken the initiative in planning . an excursion to Cleveland, March 4 and 5. Thirty-nine Behrend students will take the bus, and upon arrival may see the Norman Luboff Choir, The Fantasticks, or the Ice Follies. The total cost, exclusive of meals, is $15.00, and includes a night in the Sheraton Hotel. We applaud this first of efforts by the new Program Committee.
