In Search Of Oneself A student ' s four year s of college are a rite of passage in many ways. Besides the growth of academic knowledge, there is the growth in self-knowledge, in self-awareness, or, in the cliched expression of the 1970s, the finding of oneself. The combination of new freedoms and new responsibilities prompts even the most reluctant student to mature quickly. When John F. Kennedy addressed the United Notions General Assembly in 1961, he said, conformity is the jailer of freedom ond the enemy of growth. This can be applied to college students. It is nor necessary that everyone be the some, but rather, that each expresses himself in a manner that does nor infringe on the self-expression of others. An example of both individuoliry ond conformity is the misconception many people hold about the Greek system. These individuals believe that students who pledge the Greeks lose their individuality in order to belong to the group. In reality, each member is an individual who adds his or her special ralenr to the organization as a whole. If not for the spirit of individuality in these societies, they would become defunct. It is nor important that people all walk in lockstep, blindly adhering to the same guidlines and trying to look, talk and act alike. Rather, people should have the freedom to make decisions for themselves and to learn from their experiences. The result of the search for oneself, then, is a key to the future behavior of rhe student in particular and of rhe human community as a whole.
