46 auf., The CDNFORMIST HE words conformity and non-conformity are curious words relating to that curious thing called man. Conformity has probably changed meaning more than any other word, and yet people are always trying to define it and use it as a label. Silver Sands decided to show a few in- stances in which the word has lost its meaning or changed its context. A long time ago, jane and Billy had a thing called respect for their elders. There was no big issue made of it. They simply had respect: for their par- ents, for the law, for the church they would attend once a week. Things began to change and by the time Jane and Bill had children of their own, respect was square and an out of it thing to have. People began to march instead of think, play golf or sleep late on Sundays, break the law if they didn't approve and in general, lose Respect. It wasn't long before the morals of our country began to go down, too. People were just too civil- ized to say 'fNo anymore, even when something inside wished they could. Suddenly, the Beatniks, the Vietniks and all the other niks were dictating what a man should be- lieve in to be 'with it'. Someone began telling you what to wear, how to act, how to speak, saying if everyone did this then you would be an individualist, a Non-Conformist. That seems a bit curious. If everyone is doing the same things in the same ways then who is the real non-conformist? Who's left? Who's left is that fellow who is not in the best clique in school, but who gets an education. Who wears clothes he likes or those that look best on him. Who's left is the kid who has respect for the adults around him. I-Ie's the square. the guy who is out of it. not in with today's time. And he is the only individualist left. He does what he wants or thinks best. and some- times from advice he received from his parents. Parents, you remember them? How long has it been since you kissed your mother or father, in public? Or told someone how proud you were of a member of your family? How long has it been since you and your whole family spent an evening together? Or gone on a date and talked, about all sorts of things. getting to know one another? When did you last help someone who needed it without feeling guilty if a friend found out? When did you stick up for something about your personal self. like religion. when someone attacked it? For some curious reason these things just don't happen much anymore. Neither do many others not mentioned. just think for a minute about some of the things you were embarrassed to do in front of friends. and yet you knew there was nothing really wrong in doing them. We have become embarrassed because the old fashioned standards that our parents grew up with are not in anymore. This is sad be- cause there is really nothing wrong with these values. The point then. is this: if we would all do what we like, old-fashioned or not, then maybe we could begin to rebuild what is in and out. We have nothing to lose but conformity. 23
