The only female instructor in the

Miss Head, a native of Texas
who now claims South Carolina as
her home also has two years experi

it is expected to provide. He added
that the point of view shared by
some that the proper function of
education is specific job train
ing is very superficial and leads to
increasing specialisation.
The president went on to say
that since the objective of liberal
education is the expansion of the
understanding of each citisen, a
closed society of scholars, however
expert, falls short of the goal. “The
basic conflict of educational theory
involved is the importance of edu
cation not related to specific occu
pational competence,” he said.
Dr. Harris continued, “The real
point is whether any part of form
al education should be devoted to
broadening the world of the stu
dent, to exploring the concerns
which we all have in common,
whatever our vocations.”
“The monumental problems of
our existence are questions of hu
man behavior and ultimately of hu
man values,” he added. “Yet the
fact remains all too clear that not

Contestants in the Freshman Beauty Contest
LINDA McELREATH IS
ROSH BEAUTY QUEEN
On Thursday Night Oct. 15, in Willingham Chapel, Gene Harrison,
the reigning Miss Freshman relinquished hsr crown to Linda McElreath,
Freshman Beauty Queen for 1065.
Miss McElreath was sponsored by Cho Omega Sorority and was
chosen from seventeen Freshman beauties who competed for the title.
Miss Ginny Strickland was chosen as first runner-up and was spon
sored by Alpha Gamma Delta. Mary Belote of Alpha Delta Pi captured
the second runner-up position with Misses Mike Samford of Alpha
Deltap; and Mela Periera, an Unaffiliate, as the third and fourth
rnuners-up.
The Pageant was emceed by Mr. Tommy Day Wilcox, President of
the SGA who added his usual wit and humor to the proceedings. Enter
tainment was furnished by Ted Borck and Renee Collins singing folk
songs.
The judges were Royce Hobbs, Del Ward, and Walter Pharr.
to support liberal arts in explora
tion of human values.” He thought
it very strange that people should
cheerfully devote vast time and
energy to learning the tools of
their trade but little to formula
ting and understanding the funda
mental values by which they live.
Dr. Harris cited three immediate
responses which he said are re
quired: 1. The support of the ba
sic, not contract research, in all as
pects of human experience.
2. A sustained effort to halt the
over-specialized fragmentation of
society into self-contained and in
ward-turned groups of experts.
3. Active involvement of the
Christian ethic as a means of leav
ening the liberal arts and the val
ues they establish.
“These steps will not resolve all
the difficulties,” he said, “but they
seem necessary if the apt ways are
to be found. The vitality of liberal
education depends largely upon
such action.”

triumphant final movement, “Cum
Sancto Spiritu.”
The next two portions of the
program consisted of folksongs
from Venezuela, Russia, England,
Israel, Ireland, France, and the
United States. They were: “Valen-
danita,” “The Lonely Birch Tree,”
“Oh Dear, What Can The Matter
Be?” “Kum Bachur Atzel,” “Cock
les and Mussels,” “Aupres de Ma
Blonde,” “Shenandoah,” and “The
Railroad Corral.”
The final portion of the program
consisted of the three Negro spirit
uals, “Nobody Knows the Trouble
I’ve Seen,” “Do, Lord; Oh Do,
Lord,” and “Were You There.” The
Luboff choir then sang a Kyrie set
to music on an African theme.
Before dosing the curtain for
the final time, the choir sang three
encores, “Stella By Starlight,”
“Dixie,” and “Perpetuum Mobile.”

An emergency congress was called on the 24th of
December to see that our enemies (?) could be
fed with American wheat, but at the same time
the Communists were rioting against the US in
the Panama Canal, and an American plane was
shot down, and LBJ did nothing! Enough of this
past stuff, the crystal ball now shows the future
under LBJ. Not very bright for our families or
for the American people! LBJ has been voted by
the Congress he controls as the new Dictator of
America (?). All business is controlled by the gov
ernment and the free individual has disappeared
from the scene. Freedom of the press has long
since vanished and news material has to be ap
proved by the Censorship Committee, • an LBJ
controlled agency. America becomes a polios
state, and people are afraid to speak to friends
for fear “Big LBJ” is watching. Is this the future
we want? Think, my friends, think 1
Ah, yes, the crystal has another future in fo
cus, and it is so bright that the American people
enjoy the many rights that they would have lost
under LBJ. It is a bright future for the individual
and for all Americans. We see Barry at the helm
of the USS American. He is steering a course of
prosperity, individualism, and moat of all, an ex
cellent policy in our relations with foreign coun
tries. The American name is once more respected
in all four corners of the world. The individual has
s definite place in America. Why? Barry is an
individual and proved himself to be so in his term
in the Senate. At times he has gone against the
political bosses and voted for bills which he felt
in his heart were right At other times, he has
voted against bills, because in his heart he felt
that they were wrong. Today there is so much
“me-toolsm” in the government that they call
him an extremist An extremist? Far from itl He
■s an individual who believes in the individual.
TTiat future is a very bright one and one that ere,
aa Americana, must fight to get “You know in
your heart that ha is right”
There are many people who believe in Barry’s
stand, but they too are “me-tootste” because they
will vote Democrat in the forthcoming election be
cause their grandfathers ami fathers voted Demo
crat and they wouldn't want to upaat «h—»in thrir
