THE CHANGE IN THE ANATOMY OF DELAWARE VALLEY COLLEGE Delaware Valley has changed. We have witnessed growth and improvement in many areas. Four years of change have passed and we have been an integral part of this era of Delaware Valley College historv-. What have we seen? What will be the future? Change is synonimus with these terms and others. It may mean good, it may mean bad. Some people may never change. Other people change with the day. Some places change, others remain stationan,-. Is change always right? Has Delaware Valley changed? Have changes been made along the right lines? Is there place for more change? Can the institution change and still retain its values?

Now, there are certain rules and regulations, several that I want to mention here, that you folks, and particularly you freshmen, may not take too seriously, even though they are in the College catalog and in the student handbook. Here, unlike some colleges, we insist that the rules set forth in the handbook be carried out. There is no drinking allowed on the campus. There is no liquor allowed on the campus, or any of our property. There are no narcotics allowed. Now this may seem strange for me to have to say that to you folks, but these two things are allowed in some colleges. Here they are not. And the quickest way for a boy to get a one way ticket out of this college, is for him to be caught intoxicated. To date we have not found any of the boys with narcotics. We don ' t believe that any of them have used narcotics, but this is get- ting to be a big problem and we want it clearly understood. Although I made this same statement last year at this time, there were four freshmen to whom we had to say good-by because they thought it was smart to get drunk, to come back on the campus drunk. Now only four out of about 260 was a very good record. This year we hope we won ' t have any. And I ' ll tell you the number one cause of poor citizenship and resultant troubles with a student around here, or any other college, is liquor. This is a positive statement to make, but it is the truth, and you boys, you freshmen, should know it. And I believe that that is about the only source of trouble that we have around here. In most cases when boys get in trou- ble we can trace it back to the fact that they probably went up town and took a couple of drinks, particularly if they are freshmen and are inexperienced in this sort of thing. These sound like an awful lot of don ' ts and a very negative talk, but understand that we have plenty of athletic, social and professional activities here to take the free time of the student and to allow him to have all the pleasure on earth without making a fool out of himself. We won ' t tolerate, not for one second, hippies, yippies, or those long haired speci- mens who try to tear down rather than build up, around here on this campus. You look around, particularly when you see our upper classmen come back, and you ' ll see just what we mean. We don ' t want any of that ilk around here at all . And with the above philosophies, which have been carried out in the past and will be carried out in the future, there ' s no need for me to discuss demonstrations or vandalism, or arson, such as you have read about in the papers, or seen on T.V., on other campuses. There are really only a relatively few campuses on which this occurs. I feel, and I think we all feel, that the press overplays it. Nevertheless, it does occur. But we ' re just not that kind of folks. We don ' t have the kind of people on our faculty who would even think of inspiring such actions among the students. And you may not know it, but if you look behind a great deal of the trouble on these troubled college campuses you will find a few, and more than a few is some cases, members of the faculty behind the demonstrations. The little uproar last Friday in Philadelphia at one of our colleges involving the Marine Corps was fomented and inspired by four faculty members. We don ' t have that kind of men around here, and we don ' t have that kind of students . Now, finally, if there are any of you freshmen who, after you are here for a day, or a week, or a month, feel that you cannot accept the philosophies and the programs which we have outlined to you, and which Mr. Fulcoly and Dr. Turner will outline to you, we will do everything we can to get you placed in a college where you may have the liberties and the privileges which you want, and without which you feel you are stifled, and we will help you in every way to get out of here. We want a boy to be able to express himself within what we consider the limits of decency and propriety. We will be glad to kiss you good-bye if you don ' t want to do this . Now in the past, and this is a true story, we had a professor here who when he was introduced to the freshmen class said, As I look at you fellows, three out of four of you won ' t be here on graduation day four years from now. He is no longer here, this man, and such a philosophy is foreign to everything that we try to do around this college. I hope every oneof you will be here in 1972 to graduate. We ' ll do all we can to help you. Thank you.
