PEOPLE— Stop copping out! Many teachers are showing more personal interest and informality to- wards their students and classes. Princi- pal Jack Dile seems to be taking the students ' interests to heart; by attempt- ing to treat students equally and by trying to give everyone the opportunity to speok his piece. Not only he, but teachers are starting to regard students in G different light — that as individuals with feelings of their own. A group of English teachers realized that the students were being repressed in ttieir personal interests. Thus, out of mandatory courses, came the variety of electives now offered in the English Department. Granted, there are things that still need to be changed, but we realize fxjw difficult change is to come by. No matter what decisions are made, you can ' t please all of the people all of the time.

However, be- cause of the different circumstances with which the teenager of today has fo cope, many adults cannot identify with them. Some young people today have been taught of the power and undisputed leadership of their peers and most adults; therefore, many have lost faith in their own abilities. Just because someone is older or wealthier does not mean that they ore more intelligent or always right. No one is perfect, but nei- ther are they completely filled with faults. No one should accept blindly the values and opinions of others before Rolph Hargest and Cottiy Cunningham (above right) spray paint a sign for the F.T.A.
