S0 ■ ■• Silent Uncreative, r ■YPEWRITERS SIT MUTELY, machines devoid of thought or feeling. But that is not all. There is a man, and beside the man, a book. Machines alone could not have created a book, for only man is creative. And Riverside City College English instructor David MacCuish has succeeded where machines would have failed. He has written a book.

Contents HANDS are among man ' s most useful tools. Next to his brain, man ' s opposable thumb is nature ' s gift which most sets him apart from the lower animals. It is hands which enable him to manipulate his environment, and it is hands, too, that help him give ex- pression to his subtlest emotions. Here in this Table of Contents section and on each of our Division Pages we have sought to picture hands in their varied creative mo- ments.

The Creative Spirit IN A DAY OF AUTOMATION, Man remains the great creative force. Ingenious machines have been devised which will perform amazingly complex tasks. They will set type, inspect manufactured products, operate oil refineries, communicate with satell- ites orbiting around the earth. Many have felt that Man has become sup- plementary to the machine, that he is faced with domination by mechanical monsters. They argue that he is being reduced to a mass-pro- duced uniformity, with a mind carefully ma- nipulated by those who poison it with sub- liminally inspired ideas, who malnourish it with all the trivia of the mass media. And yet the machine is not enough. An electronic device may be able to write a script for a TV western, but it cannot write Hamlet. It may be able to guide a rocket into orbit, but it cannot direct a symphony. And the mind of Man repeatedly breaks forth from the channels machined by the en- gineers of consent. All the forces of the mass communications specialist are brought to bear on a political candidate, and for good or ill a majority turn him down. Technology untamed does indeed pose a threat to mankind. Yet it likewise poses a challenge. At its very best, a college student ' s dedication to education is an affirmation of faith in the ability of the creative human spirit to meet this challenge. BRUSHES AND PENCILS - Instruments are nothing without the hand of man to guide them. This time it is the hand of a woman, Linda Gay Dean, that has created our cover, pointing up the creative ability of mankind.
