li erature nd A s Self-recognition Gained Self-recognition is a big thing which comes from a liberal arts education, says twenty-one year old Mary Ellen Kotcher. Four years in the College of Arts and Sciences enables a person to realize his own attitudes. In doing this, he learns to get along with his associates by being able to adjust to their strengths and weaknesses. Adjusting himself to others in this complex world helps a person Hnd his own place in the world. Mary Ellen's explanation of the significance of a liberal education reveals her esteem for knowledge. Her high regard for education is not just an unpracticed opinion either: her 3.2 quality point average speaks for itself. 'iShe is first of all a student, says Dean of Women Helen Kean of the member of the Take- over Generation in Literature and Arts. '6She won't take on a lot of jobs, but when she takes on one, she is very thorough. If I give her a job, sheis so reliable that I can forget about itf' To illustrate, Miss Kean gave the example of Mary Ellen's Work as chairman of the l96l Women Students' League Christmas Party. ' Everything ran smoothly. She had a time schedule telling when certain preparations for the party should be done. Unlike many people who have excuses ready for not having the job done on time, Mary Ellen always had the work done on time - and done well. The quality of a leader that the English major from Grosse Pointe, Michigan,considers most important is 'fconstant enthusiasm, even if at times it's low burning. A leader can't despair, she says, for the attitude will pass on to the people under him, and as a result the group will accomplish nothingf' Following graduation, Mary Ellen intends to teach English in high school. The healthy attitude toward life which she feels is an important result of a college education - the ability to see oneself and oneis place in the world - can especially be developed in her major Held, literature. Literature - good literature - shows the conilicts of good and evil which plague everyone. 'ilt shows how people think, she says. It gives one a view of life. This view - though certainly not the author's purpose in writing - can give the reader a revealing insight into his own life. S . .
