Ivory tower image not for Creighton Let ' s restore the Ivory Tower and the classical educa- tion that has been the bedrock of our civilization . . . the modern trend to let students follow their noses, to ' do their own thing, ' is an irresponsible policy . . . I, for one, am not ready to substitute Allen Ginsburg for Shakes- speare and Milton. Spiro Agnew Vice President, United States Black studies, the feminist movement, urban prob- lems, arc welding, phenomenology, oriental art — and Creighton is slipping out of its Ivory Tower. Students said the tower wasn ' t made of 99 per cent pure ivory. They wanted something more than a graduated high school. They wanted to think, create and learn. They searched, but sometimes they didn ' t find. Maybe they needed to start with themselves. Maybe they live a hypocritical paradox. What grade did you get? . . . I ' m taking the course because it ' s a punt ... He grades really easy, don ' t sweat it ... I stayed up all night — I ' m a great crammer . . . Why take French? — Everyone speaks English any- way and I ' m never gonna use it ... I go so stoned last night . . . Man, I could care less about going to class . . . Meet you in the fishbowl — yeah, the same spot. I ' m there every day. Same people? Right, same old bunch . . . Really learned how to play bridge this semes- ter . . . Maybe that guy ' ll blow up the dorm — be a unique vacation . . . Just bull your way through . . . History is such a waste of time . . . That course is a real bear . . . I can ' t wait to get out of this school and out of this town. But what will I do? — I ' ve been in school since I was five . . . What did I learn? Who am I? What am I?
