J f, J - ' f Our modern world is full of every extreme from Yip- pies, Hippies. SDS, to the Holy Rollers and Silent Ameri- cans. Yet where in this world of extremes does the Peace Student fit? Is she. as many feel, the one who will simply vote for the next president, pay the taxes, and go unnoticed throughout her life? Is she the girl whose interests are confined only to social events, rather that the wars and poverty which plague our world? Is she the kind who ' ll try something different once, but only for curiosity, and then revert to being a conformist? Is she the apathetic American who would simply rather not get involved? To all the above questions we can answer an apa- thetic NO. The Peace girl is an individual who is extreme- ly conscious of the world about her. She has the potential to do something about the world situation rather than simply letting things pass her by. She can be the one who takes a stand and fights for it, even if it is not the conventional or accepted thing to do. She can be the one who will strike a big blow for what she believes, or maybe just a little punch. The Peace girl recognizes that extremes exist. She is aware that there is a Biafra; that there is a Mao Tse-tung. She sees apathy around her, but is not apa- thetic. She doesn ' t feel hunger, but knows that it exists. She IS the future citizen and the world is in her hands. She will not let it fall.
