To Love . . . students, the majority, do not come to college to find a mate, but because all of their age group are concerned with finding their one and only . . . they look. They look on a blind date, they look after they recover from a broken heart. Some find, and some keep looking. Need for parental pampering decreases; need to understand their fellowman increases; but these loves are now secondary to the love. Rain blurs Christmas lights, but not the enjoyment of being with that certain one. There is clarity in being alone.

To Belong . . . stu- dents are ott ' eied many ways in which to belong- . . . organi- zations based on aca- demic subjects, on interests, on religious affiliation. Sharing a room, learning to ac- cept their roommate ' s good and bad points . . . this too is belong- ing. And there is a foimalized way of be- longing, signified by a pin. Everyone belongs in the library. Some belong by watching. Some belong by doing.

To Learn . . . some leain for the pure joy of acquiring knowledge, this is dedication . . . some learn in preparation for a future occupation, this is a part of their search foi- secuiity . and some learn because it is a habit. All learn. They learn about life and about themselves. This is a time of self-realization. They all come here as in dividuals . . . their reaction to the fulfillment or denial of basic needs, desires, diives; their reaction to pressuie, social and academic during four years, determines the type of individuals they are. Students leave college as individuals, but not always the same as when thev came. StudenJ.s learn liy listening. Students learn 1)V Liuatinu Students learn by doing.
