f 4 Poverty revealed itself at Carleton this year and brought varied reactions from the student populace, the Education Commission had sponsored the Naked Poverty program. Filmstrips flashing on ceilings and walls, drama readings, background music. Sock it to 'em! Too many gimmicks said some. Entertainment but not education said others. Like, the medium was interfering with the message. Shiny aluminum heroes attracted large crowds. But where was everyone when the program included anonymous people like those from Lebreton flats who had a personal knowledge of poverty? Crowds were often good but group involvement was poor. To many, it was just another big show put on by Students' Council. A major complaint was the choice of poverty as a topic. Why a subject as remote to most students as economic poverty ? It can only lend itself to a very superficial treatment. Q ' Sure, you sit and listen to' someone like Pierre Berton talk about poverty and the establishment and you think he's got a good point. You are bombarded with slides of Nlontreal slums and you agree it's a shame. You're saddened, angry, and frustrated that such things should exist, and, boy, something's got to be done. Then you go home and turn off this flood of compassion and righteous indignation with the bedroom light and tbafs it. g 'wx , , A studen ,Vle se is a good idea, most everyone agrees, incl Senate which accepted it as a credit course for next year. ' This year it suffered through its birth stages. In many ways it was a failure. Hopefully, as a credit course with a more ,relevant issue: Aspects of Twentieth Century' Living, many of its weaknesses will be eliminated. ' As an experiment, it has shown that a student-run course is possible. Considering the present trend towards greater participation and freedom in university, perhaps it's a sign of the times. - n 1 .
