EDITGRIAL EATEN paths are for beaten men goes the age-old adage, and we consistently follow those well-worn paths. We are not yet beaten, so why do we follow these paths? The probable reason is that they are the lines of least resistance--the easiest and the fastest- approaches to a so-called happiness . Many times during our school years, we have done things only be- cause, Everybody else is doing them. Yet one person among those we knew had to experience the ordeal of being ridiculed and laughed at so that what he was fighting for would become a reality. We must realize that conditions have changed. Customs and super- stitions were discarded long ago, but there are still those who tread those beaten paths. We cannot solve problems these days according to the shape of the moon nor the tide of the sea. New and modern ap- proaches to our problems are necessary. Each of us must have the will to be different from the majority--to be an individualist and to stand on one' s own two feet. We must learn to adhere to and practice our beliefs. We must keep believing in what we think is right because only by such conviction can we keep that faith. Let each of us develop our foresight, for we must learn to look to the future and its challenges rather than to the past with its successes and failures. lt is important that we, ourselves, strive to find the answers to our problems rather than to expect others to do it for us, for how better can we learn than by experience? When We complete our formal education, most of us will leave home and will be on our own. We will have to de- cide our own problems in our own way. Whether to do things the Way others are doing them, or to do them the way we think best will be the test of our individuality. In our efforts for success let us not be afraid to take the more diffi- cult approach, which may be the unbeaten path, let us turn aside from the beaten paths of beaten men. 4
