This is a book about creativity. This is a book about education. This is also a book about U.S.F. Everyone can see the connection between U.S.F. and education. After all, that is why we are all here. The trouble is that many people cannot see the connection between creativity and U.S.F. This is where the trouble lies. We must see that creativity is necessary for education and creative Education must be a part of U.S.F. As we indicated in the preceding pages, U.S.F. can, from all outward appearances, seem like a creative wasteland. But this is a deceiving picture. The opportunity to be creative is all around you. But don't look for it in the dorms, in the buildings or even in the curriculum. If creativity is to be found on this campus, it will be found within you. The following organizations are made up of individuals who expand education beyond the classroom and into broadcasting, publications, and dramatics. The need to express their creativity is the reason these organizations exist. 26

 What do you think of that, Pierre? It is for to laugh. Ha Ha. -From an old story In a way, ha ha. Creativity is not a threat to education, of course not. And there is this and that to be said about the life in our dormitories, and the shape of our buildings, and the stupor on both sides of a lecture. Bad things, indeed. Sacrifice your individualism? Never. Make the most of your intelligence? Of course, every chance you get. And the devil take a slap on the wrist as well as a kick in the ass and a fart in the wind. And why ask the A dministra tion ? But, ha ha, in a way. Creativity isn't the word. Freedom is the word. Creativity can mean something important, but it can also mean a put-down of other people . Why should , saying I am for creativity, be automatically assumed against the shape and quality of all dorm life, campus buildings and dull lectures? would much rather defend freedom, because we are all responsible for our freedom, we are all obliged to be free. And why not be free to live as you like, in dorms or out? And why not be free to speak up to dullness? And why not be free to say, no more ugliness will be built here. Free to make the most of our intelligence, by being what we are, intelligent free men. Love among free men is as close to paradise as require to be. Be free, and be loving, and do as you like. Of course, this means we must desire the freedom of others as well as our own, and we dare not make bargain for our love. Invite your friends to exercise their freedom, and creativity will take care of itself. Pat Smith, Ph.D. English Dept. 25
