A vearbook has an unique signilieanee in that it eap- tures time. holding it between hardbound eovers to pre- serve memorv and hope. As a neweomer. I eannot share re- eolleetions of the past vear with vou but I - like vou - have aspirations tor the liuture ol' St. Leo College. I would like to share these hopes with vou. It is a vast oversimpliliieation to sav that I would like to see the College ot' St. Leo develop into a model eommunilv of learning and living but. eapsulized as it might be. the thought eontains mv basie philosophv in the words learn- ingfi living and eommunitv. Times and values are ehanging. We eannot meet tomor- a - . . row s needs with vesterdav s methods. The past, however. eannot be disearded either as being too shopworn lor lur- ther use or as being so lar out ol' liashion as to eause embar- rassment ili brought out ol' the eloset. Still. the demands being plaeed on edueation and on the institutions ol' learn- ing bv students. taeultv. and the world in whieh they live eall for a rethinking oli proeesses and goals. If the luture of learning is to be tultilleil, the present and the past must eome to grips with eaeh other. Not ev- ervthing has changed. We - members ol' the stall. the stu- dent bodv, and the eommunitv' - must determine how to meet our needs both in light of' what we know the liuture will require while. at the same time, eonserving those val- ues ofthe past that we know to be realistie. I believe in innovation. I do not believe in ehange just for the sake of ehange. When a eoneept is proven outdated and a better educational mousetrap is introdueed. I am in favor of abandoning the one and utilizing the other. I ean- not condone the serapping of' a program or a philosophv simply because it is old any more than I ean endorse eon- tinuation beeause Hthatis the wav weive alwavs done things. Change will eontinue to eome to St. Leo. When it does. it is mv' sineere hope that it will be as the result ol' a eom- munieation of need bv erervozze eoneerned. Cominuniea- tion is an overworked word these davs. That is not to sav that it is an overworked eoneept of existenee. I ean assure vou that it will be an evervdav liaet ol' lilie in the determina- tion ol' St. Leois future. The needs of the aeademie program will be, ol' eourse. paramount in our eonsiderations. I would hope that our de- liberations also would inelude thought as to the eultural and soeial aspeets of living on eampus todav and in the lei- sure-filled world that is the promise of tomorrow. There is opportunitv in this lor life enriehment nearlv equal in im- portanee to the masterv' of textbook material. Finallv, I believe stronglv in eommunitv involvement - and in the involvement of faeultv with the eommunitv. The liorees of ehange have knoeked down the walls ol the tvorv tower. Colleges and universities are verv mueh in the main- stream of lilie or. if thev are still elinging to the rubble ol the tower. thev are passing up untold opportunitv to re- Ceive and to eontribute. There are needs to be met in the College and in the eommunitv. The separation ol' town and gown has no validitv todav in mv opinion. Edui-ation has escaped from the eonliines ol the elassroom or the laborato- rv and. in so doing, has ereated a total eommunitv to unite separate strengths. 'liiuwf , Dr. Thomas B. Southard Preszdenl-Elect l ofthe College p I look forward to sharing these thoughts with vou in de- ' tail. I am equally anxious to meet you personallv. Some ol' you - those graduating 'seniors - I will meet as alumni and I antieipate this with pleasure. The liaeultv and under- . graduates ean expeet to see me regularly and often as I sol- ieit advfiee both liormallv' and informallv' for the eontinuing lx improvement of the eollege of whieh we are alreadv so , ii . proud. lf Dr. Thomas B. Southard Presirlenl-Elect of Sl. Leo College I .l

Someday, perhaps before 2000 AD.. it may be possi- ble to transmit matter, as energy, around the world. and reeonstitute it as matter at the other end. Ships. eargo aireraft, and liig transeontinental truelas may het-ome oh- soletef' The quotation is from the 1970 issue ol' Ener- gy: Transaetions in Tinief' a Kaiser News puhlieation and not a .lules Verne fietion fantasy. Today many of our values of tradition have been re- plaeed with our teehnology of built-in obsoleseenee. The results are relleeted not only in our teehnology hut also in our individual selves. Our aneestors were rooted in the earth of their villages and seldom traveled beyond its limits. Family treasures were handed down from genera- tion to generation. Personal assoeiations were elose and lasting. Megalopolis and automation have resulted in deper- sonalization - even here on our own small eampus. Modern transportation has made us a raee ot' nomads wdere even our planet no longer has borders. We move so fast that we are even searehing lior ways to use our lei- sure. We have instant breakfast. instant friendships and instant sex. You eollegians are a produet oli this instant eivilixa- tion. You demand instant answers and solutions to a multitude of our serious problems. And one heirloom you definitely will not aeeept is the tradition of war handed down to you from your parents and grandpar- ents. Neither are you interested in aeeepting the philoso- phy of eorporate eonglomerates who preaeh push button produetion for instant purehase and eomputerized prot- itsg nor are you interested in a selli perpetuating bureaue- racy of government that demands your serviee in the propagation of war while it preaehes the Christian eon- Cept of love thy neighborf' What you are interested in is peaee through loy e. Christ preaehed love for the purpose of the reeoneilia- tion of man. How ean we of twentieth eentury het-onie reeoneiled with eaeh other? Robert Ardrey. author of Man and Aggression... writes that. To understand a man today. one must understand a fourth dimension 4 his entire genetie past as liar hat-lt as one ean probe. He says that it' we emhraee the reality of man. ineluding his past, there is an opportunity for solving today's ills. .Xnd Kathy Hyland, writing in Energy: Transaetions in Timef' observes that ln addition to his inereasing reli- anee on seientilie diseoyeries and teehnologieal advan- ees, man should look to himselt' as the eomplete. most vital form ol' energy anywhere. Reeoneiliation. then. requires tiirst ol' all a reeognition ofthe greatness and worth of eaeh one ol us as an indi- vidual: a seareh into our past and a loolv into our future. This is not easily done and poses many problems. But you and I have to attempt it and we must do it ili brother is to be reeoneiled with brother and live in the harmony of peaee and love. Rev. Marion Bowman. OSB President of'S111'111 Leo College
