tAa s5 This yearbook has been organ- ized by season. The reasons behind this are multiple, but mainly because in this world of immense complexities, the im- portance of handling every- thing in its time, of keeping it in context cannot be stressed enough. Examples of this urgency today are endless. We see it in assembly-line automation, in the growing belief in pragma- tism, most recently in the cry that you should “do your own thing,” and, most emphatically, in world affairs. Every week, every day, situations arise which must be handled without delay. This year especially had demonstrated the necessity to deal with events in their time. The war in Vietnam, the political situation, racial conflicts, the threat of depression— these, and more, are problems which de- mand action now. The “beat” generation has proven itself truly beaten, defeated, by refusing to deal with these tragic difficulties. However, that generation will be bypassed, because of their refusal to act. The responsibilities of the nation and the world will be assumed by those who are willing to act as and when the time calls for action. The responsibilities will fall on those who are unafraid to protest, unafraid of change, unafraid to get their hands dirty in the garbage left by the incapables, and, most important- ly, unafraid to fail and to try again. These action takers are not coming totally from just one of the societies prevalent today. The “over 30’s,” the hippies, the teenie-boppers, the beats, the squares— our world will be delivered to, and possibly by, a conglomoration of these; but this mixture as a whole will make up a Now Generation, an In Group, prepared to deal with everything as time demands, in its season.
