FOREWORD on ' t tense is the expression of the hour. It is the college Joe and Jane ' s own — developed after three long years of growing up in a scared, unstable world. Phrases such as Frustration of the times, futility of the future now sound acutely trite to the college student. He feels silly being described as desperate, emotionally insecure, depressed. He ' s tired of melodramatics and he ' s developed a stage technique of brilliant understatement. Worn out with talk that arrives nowhere, he has stopped talking. Not overly optimistic, yet not appreciably pessimistic, he tries to formulate tentative plans for the future, realizing that he must knit loosely to allow for alterations. Girls want to learn something useful, practical — a major that can procure a job while their men are at war. Fellows want to get their education behind them, serve their term in the army, get out and then start building a future. When asked how he feels about the war and the times, a college student ' s first impulse seems to be, Do I have any feelings? He seems to have solved his uncertainty by variations of the philosophy, wait and see. His mind has reconciled itself that there is a war, the end of hich is not in sight. The fellows have to go, fight, perhaps never come back; and the girls have to wait . . . and occupy their minds with a job. When he comes back, that is the time the student expects to make some real plans. That is what everything hinges on. So here we have the college student in 1953 — a year not too different from 1952, and a year that, he thinks, will set the pattern for 1954. Although the war and the upset are important to him, the coke date at 2:30, the committee meeting at 7:00, his date for the formal next week end and the grade he made on his Physics test occupy most of his thoughts. He has been graphically shown by three shaky years that it is perhaps best not to try to look too far into the future. He has decided the best thing to do is to play it cool don ' t tense and take things as they come. Anyway, as the following pages will bear out, he ' s too busy with the present . . .
