President ' s Report What are we? Who are we? Where are we going? These three ques- tions form the basis of man ' s existence. If each of us asked these ques- tions of ourselves and got the same answer our generation would know no war, poverty or hatred. We are rational decision making animals. We are capable of thought, creativity, love, but also of ignorance, malice and hatred. We are a conglomeration of a thousand emotions and billions upon billions of cells and countless ideas. We are all these things when taken as a whole but not essentially any one of them individually. We are undefinable. We are like the ' X in a mathematical equation. We require solution but no one has yet determined the correct rule needed to solve us. We are men and women who draw our life from the earth only to return to the earth the life which we have drawn. Who We are changes constantly. We are people, sons, daughters, wives, husbands. We are students at Durham College. We are pioneers in a new field of education. Not only the reputation of Durham College is on our shoulders but also that of the entire C.A.A.T. system. The way we turn out will set a precedent for others. With respect to this Col- lege we are citizens of a community assembled together not to be taught, not even to learn but to be educated. Perhaps we will finally go to the same place and meet again. But right now where are we going? Towards graduation? Are we working for a diploma, for a job? Where do we want to go seems to answer where are we going. Where we go depends on ourselves. Anyone can set a goal and a course, not everyone can follow it. Where we can go is boundless. We may reach the greatest heights, the opportunity is ours for the taking. As the first students of Durham College we will light the torch that others will carry long after us. How brightly it burns depends on us. For those of you who have had a successful year - my heartfelt con- gratulations. For you that have tried and failed my compliments on your efforts. Failure, however, is not the end. It may be one battle but is certainly not the war. As far as SAC goes I can only say that it has been a pleasure serving as President for the first part of my term. On behalf of SAC and myself I would like to thank the entire College student body, staff, faculty and administration for the support that has been given the SAC in the past. Believe me without it we would not have gotten very far. I look forward with pleasure to seeing you again in the fall so until we meet again I remain. Your friend. Peter Bobris, President, SAC
