Dr. Leo W. Jenkins, president of the college, will de- liver a speech today at the National Student Government Association at Ohio State University. Printed below are excerpts from Dr. Jenkin's speech. I It is the responsibility of col- $ lege officials and faculty to re- veal to all that genuine self gov- ernment among college students is highly significant. This, of course, presupposes extreme confidence in youth. It is obvious that we are wit- nessing a new world struggling to be born, with most of us trem- bling with fear. Although there is no place to hide from this new age, it is significant to observe that our young ipeole seem to be the "least fearful. Many of our speakers and writers are likening this new age to a second indus- trial revoLuftion. You will recall that the first industrial revolution substituted steam and coal for muscles. It freed men's backs. The present revolution is substituting electronic devices and new forms of energy to free both man's back and his senses. This new i evolution is being accompanied by a ?population and intellectual explosion and by economic prob- lems unheard of before. We are witnessing the development of a strong friendship between science and religion which, in itseilf, has historical uniqueness. This may well result in the scientist seeing God more clearly and the the- ologian looking upon science with less suspicion. What does this have to do with Student Self Government? We must operate within the condi- tions created by this new age. In some areas we have learned more in the past ten years than we have known throughout history. This is (particularly time in the areas of energy and communications. But man's advances in seflf gov- ernment and in his behavior pat- terns have not been as dramatic. This lack of uniformity tn ad- vancement is causing- many of our critical problems. We are trying Student Counselors Work With Incoming Freshmen V 5 n ? Incoming freshmen male stu- dents will be introduced to the many aspects of college life at EC during Orientation Week this Fall when twenty-five student counselors greet the freshman and work with them during the in- troductory period. Each of the carefully screened and selected counselors will be assigned an orientation group. As counselors, their job will be to con- vey everyday campus knowledge t the incoming freshman. Counselors will be available to answer freshman inquiries and to ver questions about education by challenging each freshman in- to explaining his presence at an institution of higher learning. At the same time, the orientation pro- gram will offer some useful in- foiination about the college, so that tine freshman can make some value judgements about the re- lative merits of different aspects of college life. The new program is being de- veloped which will do more than test schedule a freshman for his first quai-ter. It will enable him o do more than complete forms and find out where he can get his laundry done. to adait ourselves to a twentieth century world with the techniques of previous centuries. The trans- ition from thinking of around the world in eighty days to eighty times around ftfhe world in one day is a little beyond our comprehen- sion. We are arriving at a place where we shall see considerably more democracy in terms of com- forts of life but less politicatf de- mocracy because we have permitted the media of mass communications to do our thinking. This trend will continue unless our college students make a desperate effort to project the individual and place him in a posdton where his opinions become meaningful. Our academic ILife and our stu- dent government, in particular, may be overwhelmed by mere num- bers if we cannot accept the prob- lems thrust upon us by the in- tellectual and (population explos- ion. Sight should not be lost of the fact that there are more col- lege students today than there were Ihigh school students in 1920. We are seeing many first generation college people on our campuses today and yet, in sjpite of this, almost half the world still re- mains illiterate. There are stu- dent .problems associated with size that confront colleges and stu- dent governments. On many cam- puses instead of working in co- operation we find the champions of liberal arts struggling for do- minance over voeationists and vice versa. College students should' remind the advocates of both that they are just as anxious to learn ROW to live as they are concerned with how to make a living. The -roblam of the HAVES versus the HAVE-NOTS is not only a world- wide condition but one that exists (Continued on Page 4) Kip 4Buc Beauty' yyl-y.yy ?:?' :?:?:?' ?:?:?:?:? ?.?:?:?:?:??:??

"College should be more than an academic marketplace tendering knowledge in exchange for tuition. "A good college education is not a smooth transaction, but rather a series of bewildering frustrations relieved by an occasional insight into the problems of the human con- dition. "The basic aim of education should be to confront the individual with learning experiences which will sensitize him so that he might better understand and appreciate his environment and the people in it. "Education should humanize the student's values, bur- dening him with an intense concern for the society and the world in which he lives. "The educated man is equipped with a sense of in- justice and compassion which compels him to an involve- ment in social issues ranging from racial discrimination at home, to poverty and misery in the stunted economic orders of the under-developed lands, to the world-wide problem of nuclear weaponry. "Many observers of American higher education con- tend that our colleges are not graduating people who feel this social responsibility. They quote studies to show that much of today's college generation shows a complete in- difference to social problems, preferring to devote their energy almost exclusively to the attainment of personal wealth and status. "Call it 'Rugged individualism' or whatever you will, but it does not bode well for the democratic society which makes claims on its citizens, especially its educated ones, to work for its progress and well-being. "The colleges, it is argued, are not prodding students irtito adult roles requiring them to function as thinking in- dividuals and at the same time as responsible members of society. Instead, the colleges often sponsor student pas- times which cater to his tendency to remain a child. The status symbols of the college studenlt culture are often identical to those of the high school. "On this campus, for instance, admission to campus honoraries, themselves meaningless activities, is gained after one has compiled a requisite number of likewise mean- ingless activities. "Last summer one of our students went on a Freedom Ride because he wanted to challenge the injustice of seg- regated seating on Southern buses. He spent much of his vacation in a Mississippi jail as a result. "But the Freedom Riders accomplished their purpose when a ruling was won from the Interstate Commerce Com- mission banning segregated seaiting on interstate buslines. A socially significant issue had been decided because this University student and others like him felt responsible for working to an end the national disgrace of segre- gation. "Rut what is an activity like this worth in terms of recognition? Did our Freedom Rider get his picture in the yearbook, the chronicle of student achievement. "No, yearbook spaces are reserved for real attain- ments. If you're really interested in making that gallery, set your sights high on somthing like Dorm King, Home- coming Chairman, or Silver and Gold member. "Yes, the phrase 'social responsibility' is foreign to much of campus activity, unless it is used to describe com- petence at quaffing alcoholic beverages without belching ?
