The lampposts came to Mercer in the Spring of 1%8, dozens of them. No one gave them much notice. But they did notice a change. Now Mercer could see where she was going. She envisioned enlightenment, freedom, independence and most of all restlessness which placed Mercerians next to every other groping, searching student in the Nationwide campus revolts. Mercer has revolted in her own way. Slowly, even sluggishly, with the usual leaders dragging along the sheep. In some cases students have risen to the occasion ... retreats, polls, federal aid. cafeteria evasion, or housing ... with results . .. then discontent has moved in again. But for the most part, the revolt has been quiet, con- trolled. and organized ... almost to the point of annoyance. Mercer has a lot to be proud of. though. She has learned that a walk in the dark leads nowhere. And her lights have gradually affected all parts of her Macon campus; and student involvement can be felt in every vein of the Mercer scene. The year l%9 was the year of the student. The student became the college. 1 here are those in our midst w hose concern and wisdon are a light to our darkness. And this Cauldron is dedicated to this concern. It is the boiling pot of each Mercerians thought and activities. You have made the 1969 Cauldron.
