NVhy are there so many problems due in Calculus? XVl1y the fiendishly long papers? XV hy the demanding lab work? Sometimes even, Why not the army or another College? Opinion usually just delays, but it does not stop the movement, the schedule of the term or of the students' minds in their constantly renewed desire to learn. -P MAD,-V it 'X -A N X Q ' X, ' l O ucv

In the fall of 1962 Crimsley Hobbs, Chairman of the Philosophy De- partment, was elected vice-president of the Indiana Philosophical Association. Another notable event in the depart- ment was the publication of Elton True- blood's college philosophy text, Gen- eral Philosophy. A new course this year, which chal- lenged both students and professors alike was existentialism, taught by Crimsley Hobbs and Ioe Elmore, a member of the Religion Department. Next year a course in 19th Centuiy philosophy will be added to the curricula. and there is the possibility of a philosophy seminar on ,lean-Paul Sartre, conducted by a vis- iting authority in the field. During the past year philosophic dis- cussion has been encouraged both by the department and by the philosophy club. In the fall Crimsley Hobbs talked to the club about Zen. Many philosophy students are familiar with the review sessions at Hobbs Mill, featuring Lois Hobbs homemade rolls, or with lunch table discussions with Elton Trueblood, Outside speakers, such as Douglas Steere, professor of philosophy at Haver- ford, also contributed material for stu- dents' contemplation and conversation.
