RELIGION PROFESSOR Thomas Finn confers with a student about a research L D BY DR. MITCHELL BYRD, or- nithology students observe many species in the field. Students today are increasingly conscious of the economic pressures across the country, stated THOMAS FINN. Religion professor at the college since 1973, Finn at- tributed the concrete concern for jobs to this consciousness. Students in the 60 ' s were intense- ly concerned with how what they studied related to their lives. Interest still exists but personal involvement and a felt need to know about specific topics are gone. Nine years of con- tact with W M students have form- ed these impressions for CAM WALKER, history professor. . DR. MITCHELL BYRD. bio professor, noticed a shift toward ecological sciences from the 60 ' s emphasis on cell and molecular bio.

Fitting in and finding your place were over-used yet somehow accurate phrases. No longer seeking to change the world, rather hoping to relate to it as it was, students really did feel a need to fit in somewhere. A variety of extra- curriculars were available for every interest but the student had to initiate the interac- tion. Peer pressure to become in- volved was no longer the motivator. The pressure to play an active role came from within the individual in response to a personal need to excel.
