In this era of Kent States, Jackson States, Molotov cocktails, Vietnam, generation gaps, dying oceans, noise pol- lution and on ad infinitum, communi- cation and understanding between ad- ministrators and students must become crystal clear as well as contain mutual trust if our nation is to maintain its cur- rent status and avoid the pitfalls of great fallen civilizations of the past. Daring to challenge things said and un- said in their diligent search for truth to- day's students are far too keen to accept platitudes, panaceas, and circular reason- ing in answer to their urgent questions. Tradition, formality, and ceremony are supported if their purpose can be justi- lied. But when they function unjustly, often unduly glamorizing and some- times unnecessarily complicating a situa- tion, today's students react negatively, and rightly so. With present problems being so intri- cate, explosive and changing, college presidents occupy one of the nations most trying, demanding and often threat- ened positions. In this vein Dr. John R. Edwards, Jr., was asked the following question: Should there be more or fewer rap sessions between administrators and students? Rap sessions or interchanges of in- formation and ideas between all elements of the college are important to the spirit and atmosphere of a college. The number of such informal rap sessions between the administration and students is unimport- ant. Whenever there is a matter which needs to be discussed, a session should be held. If a planned series of these ses- sions is scheduled, there is the danger of meeting merely to fulfil a schedule. In a home it is important at times to hold a family conference to resolve a problem of importance to the group. Likewise, in a college there are occasions when the 'college family' should meet to clarify its direction or to be informed of action taken which has significance to all, Since a college exits to serve the aca- demic needs of students, students should have sufficient opportunities to 'rap' with administrators and faculty members in matters which affect their educational growth and experience. Students as well as adults consider rap sessions essential to the future well-being and security of man. college community Together, President and 4 Q KV-f -52' Dr. John R. Edwards, Jr., president, maintains a busy schedule. Dr. Edwards and Dr. John Schwada, president of ASU, exemplify maintenance of good com- munication. V

Many students blinked when class pictures were taken, so they were rounded up again for retakes. But from the original turnout of stu- dents it is apparent the majority weren't interested in heeding the an- nouncements and putting forth the effort it takes to sit in front of the camera and smile. If any person's picture is absent from the annual, a complaint can rarely be justified. For a yearbook to survive, stu- dents must want a permanent record and then support the work done by others in publishing the annual. If your picture isn't here, stop and think why. 119

The governing board, composed of community leaders from all over Cochise County, makes ma- jor policy decisions and plans for CC expansion and growth. When questioned about its function, Chairman Donnelly stated, The CC Governing Board recognizes its role as a catalyst between stu- dent, faculty and administration in pursuit of scholarship, career training and attainment of skills to sustain the graduate in his role in society. l971-72 has been successful. The impact of CC on the community has deepened. Greater cultural and economic contributions have been made. Ac- ademic excellence has been achieved. Career training has been tailored to student aspirations and community needs. With pride we send our CC students to insti- tutions of higher learning and to their professions with the admonition that education is a lifetime adventure and a neverending process. l2l
