NEW MEXICO STATE UNIVERSITY UNIVERSITY PARK, NEW MEXICO 88070 . TELEPHONE, AREA CODE 505, 526-6611 OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT A little learning is a dangerous thing. Students at New Mexico State University know the meaning of this quotation. Their actions prove that they have come to the University to learn. This is quite in contrast to a few students in other institutions of higher learning whose actions show they believe that they have already arrived, and so can tell the world what to do. Their little learning has truly become Dangerous. Mr. August Russo, Editor of this edition of the Swastika, says in his introduction, The gaining of confidence and direction is the endeavor of the student as he strives to develop a consistency of character, a firmness of ability, and a ceaseless ambition to pursue his visions unhampered by ignorance. To me, this is a fine statement of what serious students are trying to do. I would sug- gest to all that they read Editor Russo ' s Suddenly There is an Awareness of the Dawn of Day. You may or may not like it, but I think you will find that it is vividly written and is challenging in thought. Thus, I believe Editor Russo accomplishes his objective. The objective of the University is the teaching of truth, the finding of truth, and the development of New Mexico, n6t only through well trained and broadly educated students, but through service to the whole population of the State. Our main job on the campus is a fine education that brings the Whole Man; and therefore, the man who in later life will be in a position to earn the role of leader in the important problems that face our country.
