Love, peace realize impossible dreams This is ttie generation of ttie impossible dream, tlie era of tine ideal realized. No longer is separate but equal a sat- isfactory equivalent for equality. No longer is passive acceptance of all things traditional the rule. And no longer will youth submit meekly to serving in wars they believe to be immoral. Rejecting facile lip-service equality, many students are finding their friends among members of all races, not only their own. Encouraged by generations of Jesuit instructors, they are questioning more than ever, criticizing and debating the most fund- amental aspects of their beliefs. Even the heretofore sacrosanct areas of theology are open to intellectual exploration— all in the search for truth, the dispeller of ignorance and the core of education. Until recently, the word existentialism was to be found almost exclusively in phi- losophy tomes and occasionally among the philosophically avant-garde. Today exis- tential involvement is preached as a way of life. It is to be hoped, however, that in their zeal to enlighten the stubborn, college stu- dents will refrain from using violent tactics as persuaders. Peace should be a symbol for their own conduct as well as the society they wish to change. Using force would be akin to the Cru- saders ' murdering the non-believing Arabs who refused to accept the message of Christian love. Patricia Prest Editor
