You may house their bodies, but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, even in your dreams. -C-IBRAN, KAHLIL, The Prophet Today, we young Americans are a concoction of what our parents want us to be, and what the social code expects us to beg only a small ingredient in our makeup is what we want to be ourselves. Though we may, on occasion, seem to rebel against the forces of conformity, we are actually losing the war with the enemy of the present age-pressure. Our small world of the 60's resembles a Iames Bond torture chamber. The walls are closing in: college on the east and west, job opportunities on the north and south, and social acceptance from the ceiling and floor. Parents are unknowingly helping to kick in the walls. Teachers are also aiding the gradual collapse. They all pushg they all exert pressure. CFor our own good, naturally, but nevertheless, pressurej Supposedly, we are the future mainsprings of our country. I-low, then. are we supposed to learn to govern it, to be leaders of a free world, to learn to shape our destiny, to keep ourselves and our nation intact unless we are free to form our own opinions in an atmosphere as relieved of pressure as possible? Instead of being free to function and to leam on our own, we are constantly being molded by our elders, who want to help us on our way. They, in a sense, Want us to be Hawless versions of themselvesg they want us to benefit from their mistakes, and to have everything they did not have. They push us into college because college is necessary for their interpretation of a socially acceptable later life, of a good job, or of a suitable mate. They push us into an early rigid social pattern because they want us to get a head start on the social rat-race we must face in later years. We are constantly warned of the dangers and rough spots of life, yet we are allowed few opportunities to test our abilities to survive them. We have little say in the shaping of our minds or in the directing of our futures. We might want something different from what our parents want for us. We might know that college is wrong, that marriage is wrong. Being pressured into these institutions retards our intellectual and spiritual growth and prevents our gaining knowledge of ourselves.

We will, sooner or later, have to face the big world on our own. It will be a world modern beyond the wildest fantasies of our grandparents, one which will evolve from the life we are currently living. It will not be identical to the world of 1965, or any previous year. We, however, will have grown up with it. We will know it. We will have to make our own adjustments to it. Our parents, our teachers have known a different world, a world which they discovered lfor themselves. We can hardly use their hard-leamed lessons to avoid pitfalls in our new world. We must have the chance in these transition teenage years to explore, to accept or reject, to weigh, to balance. We must be given the opportun- ity to go in the direction we choose, toward the goals we choose, without pressure from our elders. Surely if we had this chance, the future American society would not be a carbon copy of that of the present adult generation. Perhaps, then, history would not repeat itself, and we would be able to shape a bright new world. You may strive to he like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday. ' VmG1N1A FOLWELL '65 Q i, ' i,.' ,'Q :,E.Qh V i .,,,, . i if sf ki, , J re H W W-,rj ,ff 23 'C 0 r 1145 K 72? XYZ? JH W -I 'fqx P f' 4 ' , Dum
