Behind every thought and deed there stands a man. The polished painting is actually an extension of the artist who holds the brush. The actor performing on a lighted stage must inevitably remove his make-up and costume to reveal his real self The scientist dressed in white always becomes the man behind the test tubes when he leaves his glass laboratory. All these men have one trait in common: they all feel the same emotions, worry about the same problems, and live in the same inexplicable world. In this issue of Silver Sands,the main purpose will be to delve under the surface appearance of man into the person or group he represents -to try to link together the deed and the doer. The door of expanded insight into campus activities and problems around the world is difficult to open. The following pages, however, are merely intended to record some ofthe activities on the BJC campus and, hopefully, to add a few touches of insight into the dark corridors ofthe human character - a man who is constantly 'being encircled and lost in the excitement oftoday.

J A I I 6 i x r r I 5 r l l l v 2 i Creating a sang on a harmonica seems to quickly pass the time between classes. Discussing my studies with my parents always ends in conflict because my father refuses to listen to me when I talk. He has to lecture us every time he feels up to talking to anyone in the house. No one can state his views without having a 24 hour lecture take place. Discussion on my side is never heard. This was a response received from one of BJC's students when he was given a questionnaire from this magazine and asked whether he discussed his college studies with his parents. Perhaps you're response to this question would be similar to this student's if you had the chance to answer the same questions, or perhaps you would respond quite differently. For instance, another student who received the same question said, Yes, l discuss the school with my parents when I feel there is a topic that would be of interest to them. After all, they are human and only wonder what our life outside of the home is like to us. This comparison brings to light an important issue called the generation gap which is being debated among the students and parents alike. On a recent poll, 72'Zn of BJC's students said that they do discuss college studies with their parents, 26? said that they didn't, and ZW abstained from submitting an answer. From these results it would apparently seem that the generation gap has been slightly exaggerated by most people, at least as far as BJC's campus is concerned. Religion is another issue which confronts the students on the college campus today. ls God really dead?', asks many students. On BJC's campus God seems to be quite alive. but rather unemployed at this time. For example, when this cross-section of students was asked whether they attended religious services regularly, only 3471 replied that they did. However. when these same people were asked whether religion is relevant to their life. 6896 said yes. Apparently religion is a large part of these Campl Student .t f N ' .... . Xxx is t at student's lives, but they would rather practice their views outside the institu- tions and walls of a church. For example, one student expounded on his ideas regarding this question by saying, I believe in a God. Many people feel that in order to have a religion or be a religous person, attending church services is most necessary. But you know, getting up Sunday morning and standing in church, your mind on your activities for the day or what you're going to wear when you go out tomorrow night. doesn't make you any holier than staying in bed and catching a little extra sleep. Believing in God is what the faith is. Another student further explained that organized religion could be relevant if it would cut out the politics and hypocrisy, but
