he university philosophy became one of critically analyzing the values and ideals of M80. In essence, there became a resistance on campus - a resistance against apathy. People began to put their jobs on the line to make the truth known to everyone and to encourage a move to higher truths. Faculty and students alike began to question the ethics of some of the policies of Morehead State University. Stephen A. Young, a professor at M.S.Ll. said, I was glad to see the students take an active stand in their protest. Dr. Young feels that apathy is among the faculty, too. This was evie dent when he said that they iiwere willing to complain about it, but theyire not willing to take an active role in trying to make things better. Letters appeared in the campus and community newspapers inviting the campus to fight against apathy and to be con- cerned with the essence of an educational institution, not the image of it. These letters state that if the values are lived and practiced inside the university, then the public image would reflect that. But if the public image is improved upon from the outside this university would become hollow. ln looking at our university, we saw many things that we did not like, but we also saw that people who care are the greatest asset that any school can have. Loyalty is a virtual treasure to keeping spirit and pride in a school. Morehead State University became more self-critical but it also found a hidden asset: car- ing people. Every institution has its problems and weaknesses, but as long as there are people who will dare to be honest, as long as there are people who will not just look for but will establish the integrity of the university, and as long as there are people who will live and practice the courage needed to fight apathy at Morehead State University, there will always be a FLAMlHG RESISTANCE.
