What's good isn't Sometimes, most times and what's bad isn't Sometimes, most times Maybe. ELLEN D. VAINSTEIN The high school years, at their best, direct students in the ways of self-direction. The justification for the kinds of structures and limits which exist can be found only in the expected increased ability of students to manage themselves and their worlds with decreased need for structures and limits created by others. Because of the new channels of thought and the expanded areas for personal involvement, it is during the high school years that the possibilities of choice become real, that the absence of universal absolutes can be accepted, that ambiguity can be tolerated, that gratifiications can be postponed. The emergence of a person who is comfortable with himself, who has stretched his talents, and who has tested his beliefs-is perhaps the most important goal that the Worthwhile high school experience can achieve, no matter what the nature of the postschool venture, this is the most lasting preparation.

time and mass . . . The relativistic aspects of Einstein's theory show up when we are viewing events from a Being-Substance frame of reference. But a kind of absoluteness fi.e. results independent of the observerj not relativism hits us if our frame of reference is a Becoming-Process one . . . Perhaps you can now look at some people whom you might call hypocrites through Becoming-Process rather than a Being-Substance eyes. I am going to mention two topics and begin thinking, leaving the continuation of it to you-as a ten or twenty year project. The first of the two topics concerns student government and the second concerns some parents reaction to mixed marriages. On the student government issue, I would ask whether much of the adult world hasn't-in their idea world - been playing in a Being-Sub- stance ball park. They have created the Democratic Dogma in their thought worldn, but they might apply it to a world of action in which I have suggested that Becoming and Process are the fundamental realities rather than Being and Substance . . . Is it any wonder that we adults seem to be guilty of double talk when we make promises which we can't possibly keep? On the mixed marriages issue, segments of the adult world, playing in a Being-Substance ball park have said that Being in Love was a major determinant on when to get married. Here, we have come very close to telling you a bold-faced lie. Some of the problem is that the intellectuals ffrom the scientist to the theologianj, whom society has entrusted with maintaining and refurbishing societyls capital reserves of intangible realities , have done so poorly that the natural tendency of people to believe only in that which they can see or touch has had more influence than it should have had. Marriage is not an isolated happening in a Being-Substance frame of reference. It is much closer to a process whose healthy growth is at least partly determined by the environment in which it must function. Woe be unto those who's foresight is so lacking that they refuse to compare-prior to acting- the number of points of correspondence between their private dream world and the Universe in its present moment of Becoming.

OTHERS I have to take or do this in order to be eligible for that which leads to thus which in turn carries over into such and such enabling me to accomplish it-the culmina- tion of which allows me to pursue other interests, said any student. Usually coming under others on var- ious offerings and descriptions I sometimes wonder why we are always at the end of the list. Alphabetically we don't belong at the end-zymurgy does. Like zymurgy we deal in a product and although not as pleasant to consume on the whole we have better after effects. GEORGE OWEN Romsurs Art Dejnzrtnzeut 25
