Aware. Of a panorama, an impression, a review of issues, problems, answers, and ideas. Of one person l nowing the unrealized emptiness, the void of being una- ware. Of his desire, her desire, their desire that others should know and see and reflect and perhaps judge. Of students learning not only philosoph- ical theories and the appreciation of art but also the realities of dope, prejudice, bigotry, other worlds and foreign languages, the battered earth, and the conflicting self. Of campus life, raw or refined, broad or buried, rejoiced in or spurned. But seen. MURMURMONTIS 1972 PUBLISHED ANNUALLY BY THE STUDENTS OF WEST VIRGINIA WESLEYAN COLLEGE. EDITED BY NORRINE SHARP AND CHERYL KISER.

lX Aware. Of a minorilv on campus, in the town, in the world. Of Blacks trying to find their places in a society that is struggling to accept them. People wanting merely to be what they are not what a color des- tines them to be. Of demands by Black students for a black counselor, black faculty, addi- tional black students. Of prejudices within ourselves that may make us uncomfortable, yet an unwill- ingness to change. Empty hand- shakes, meaningless smiles, uneasy friendships. Of the minority seeking love, under- standing, and justice from a majority not yet ready to comply.
