Nationwide Spirit Of Change Herbert Marcuse, a professor at the University of California, believes that students will appear as this nation's next great agent of change. In an era of increased moral and political awareness students have begun a series of struggles for better draft laws, a voice in politics, civil rights, and the rights of minorities. They arc entering areas which have been ruled previously by unchallenged doctrines. Although their struggles sometimes become violent, today's students arc better represented by the young campaigners in this year's Presidential contest who sought to express their dissent by working within the existing framework of government. Students are sincere in their criticism. As a source for new ideas and as a force for change, thev will make their mark. Change is inevitable and students want to have a part in it. No longer are the youth of America content to be indifferent about their country’s government. They want a voice in the matters which concern them so they can be a constructive, progressive part of today's society. This nationwide spirit was felt at Blake as students played an ever increasing role in presenting programs and carrying them to completion. Much more of Blake's future will depend on the increased involvement of the student and the wealth of new ideas which arc his. 3
