A professor's influence upon a student, Though it may appear in various forms and degrees, is most often a combination of direct guidance and subtle direction, resulting in a process of modification within the student. The controlling or directing power of the profes- sor over the student is based not upon force but upon intellectual ascendency. The influence of the professor is most obvious and direct in his presentation of the subiect matter. A vigorous presentation of the subject matter is conducive not only to interest on the part of the student but to critical thought and evaluation. Professors, by ex- ample, are able to impress upon the student the advantage of an intellectually oriented mind. A professor transmits, through his very presence, the necessity and function of intellectual discipline. By showing a vital interest in the student's academic endeavors the professor stimulates the student's interest. Finally, the influence of a professor is most pronounced by his demonstration of the remark- able quality, so evident in every intelligent person, of being able to meet and communicate with another person on that person's own level, and, concurrently, to learn from that person. The student's life, as a result of the influence of the professor, is enriched by an interest and faith in the academic life. There is a veneration of learning and knowledge in general and specifically a respect for those transmitters of such. Ambition is instilled in the student, ambition to acquire the ability to integrate factual knowledge with the routine life, and ambition to attain what has become one of life's most rewarding goals - an intellectually curious mind. And so, with respect and gratitude, this year's La Cumbre is dedi- cated to those men, among many, who, from the student's viewpoint, have been the most influential in their capacities as professors at the University of California, Santa Barbara: Dr. Kelley of the History Department, Dr. Stuurman of the English Department, Dr. Hardin of the Biological Science Department, and Dr. Girvetz of the Philosophy Department, and Dr. Willson of the English Department.

The LA CUMBRE Honor Copy, the highest award presented to a U.C.S.B. student, is bestowed on the basis of out- standing scholarship, service, character, and leadership over a four year period. The T961 Honor Copy is awarded to Dale Lauderdale, who is certainly a worthy recipient. Dale, while maintaining a high grade average as an Industrial Arts major, has done a great deal to prove himself a fine student leader. He entered U.C.S.B. student government as Freshman Class Vice President, As a Sophomore, Dale pledged Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity and was a member of Squires, the Sophomore men's honorary. As Junior Class President, Dale also found time to serve as Director of Frosh Camp and work on the College Day Committee. Other activities that year included Epsilon Pi Tau, Cal Club, Scabbard and Blade and Legislative Council. Dale's Senior Year has, however, been possibly his most outstanding to date. The soft spoken yet dynamic President of the Associated Students conscientiously carried out all the duties of this office, which include daily meetings of various boards and committees. In addition to maintaining hs active membershp in the organizations entered in his Junior year, Dale has participated in L.C.A., Finance Committee, A.C.B., P.C.B., l.A.C., Pre-Audit Committee, and Registration and Schedule Committee. lt is with awe and appreciation that we award this year's Honor Copy to Dale Lauderdale.
