. . . you walk across the campus, drink coffee in the cafeteria, go to classes, convocations, the library, the dorms . . . ... at first you see people you only know as fellow students, see regularly, recognize, but don't know . . . . . . then, next to you, in a class, the cafeteria, downtown, you are talking with somebody . . . . . . this is how it starts, in the fall, and you begin to feel River Falls is your college.

Suppose you on- groduotmg with on education degree. This gives you the lawful right to teach. But does it give you anything more thon o signed document Stating thot you can be employed five days a week in the monner which you choose? This question we cannot ontwer nor do we propose to do so. The future seems o frightening prospect ond the problems it involves ore tomewhot beyond those of lesson plots ond daily assign-•monlt. The world siluotion this year, os any yeor, has been something thot definitely needed thinking about ond thot presented problems. The revolution in Cubo. the French handling of Algerian rebels in Morocco, the herding of Chinese into ogriculturol communes Or human anthills, the outer space contest, the education controversy, I he influence or lock of influenco of the Boot Generation—these ore some of the problems thot confronted ut. Certainly we hove people in officiol positions to analyze ond handle the major portion of these, but what about the rest of the people? Do we go on believing that if there ore problems someone else will surely solve them? This is where we feel college comes into view Is it more thon preparation for o vocation Con you think beyond your own immediate realm? Hus foreword is not written to occuse its readers of opothy. We hove only desired your attention for a few minutes bccouse we ourselves resent the label of “complacency ond hope that a mere label is not on indication of what really exists. College offers so much to so mony ond yet this foCt is said to be ignored by three-fourths of its students, who think of it only os an assembly Ime for the putting together of ready-mode teachers, scientists and tumor executives. IS this actually the cose? We prefer to think it is not. No doubt the answer to this will come only with the future. Whatever the answer, if there is one, we hope thot when you look of the 1959 Mdctcon you will see more than on organization picture ond lists of activities. We hope thot college hos offered you the opportunity ond the incentive to wont to think of these problems ond, perhops. to propose solutions for them. It hos been soid thot the attitude of most college students ond groduates today is I connof ond will not be bothered. This appears to be oil too true ond while m college we con attempt to justify this by busyness And after our formol education hos ceosed we find the complexity ond chaos of modem living onocher onswer Assuming this otfifude hot of fee ted more thon this college, it would seem we hove turned our bocks on thot which has brought us to this point. And PS- adults ond teachers who hove hod the opportunities of college, we cormot afford to be blase. We hove illimitable situations m which to think ond to encouroge thinking This docs not suggest thot you solve Chino's problems, but thot you be aware of them ond fry to understand.
