Student Government RICH HILL A.S.B. President Upon graduation, will we, as the lleducatedh be able to fulfill effectively the role of leaders and critics of our society? Our college experiences should enable us to acquire the abilities which will permit the meaningful fulfillment of our role in society. As serious students interested in becoming lleducatedf, it is our responsibility to take full advantage of the many opportunities offered at San Jose State College. The opportunities offered by the college are many. They include the means of physical, social, cultural, and academic deve10pment. Each facet of the college program merits time and attention. One of the more difficult problems that we must face as serious students is that of determining a positive balance in our activities. Any activity which avoids our attention also avoids our under- standing and any activity which receives too much emphasis soon becomes a burden on our personal growth. Apart from this Vital responsibility to ourselves, we also have a responsibility to our college. We should as members of the academic community concern ourselves with the fulfillment of its needs and services. We share in the responsibility of creating an academic environment which will insure the maximum attainment of both our personal and group goals. Serious students are serious citizens. Effective citizenship is a product of participation and educa- tion. Inexperienced members of the college community do not become suddenly transformed up- on graduation. They retain their ineffective roles when faced with the critical tasks and problems which society forces upon them. As the lieducated representing San Jose State College, our meaningful participation in com- munity affairs will reflect our status and diligence while associated with this institution. This has been our ligolden hour? the opportunity to develop the interests, skills, and knowledge necessary to provide creative and constructive responses in the days ahead. Our society is dependent upon our success in this endeavor. 27
