Colloquium In the spring of 1967 The Student Project decided to expand its activities by embarking upon a project unique in the history of this institution. Throughout its history, the Projects primary concern has been in aiding international education. Although we know that this endeavor is worthwhile and is one which we wish to continue, we also have come to believe that we, since we have the fimds, should increase our educational activity here on campus. After much serious thought, we decided upon a symposium concerning problems students are forced to face today. From these many and varied problems we chose to focus on three: Civil Disobedience, Drinking and Drugs, and the Student in the University, During the weekend we had many experts on these topics on campus to lead discussion groups, debate, and give their opinions on these difficult problems. On Friday morning of the Colloquium weekend, Mr. Brent Bozell and Mr. Robert Parsonage debated the general topic, Student Protest and Dissent in the 6O's.', This proved to be a controversial and thus dynamic force in setting the student tone for the weekend. Mr. Bozell opened by denouncing student protest. He used the argument that it is the students place only to gain knowledge, and not to express opinions. Naturally, the students did not accept his conservative ideals. They found an ally in Mr. Parsonage, who defended the students. He felt that adults should not shun the students and their ideas, but should attempt to unite with them in an effort to improve conditions. During the question and answer period the students gained more support from Dr. Donald Louriais climactic and impassioned criticism of Mr. Bozell. This left the students with a feeling of anticipation regarding the coming weekend. 8

And the Weekend continued with the same zest. There was disagreement, there was questioning, and most important there was thought. On Sunday after the Colloquium Sam Topp was asked what he thought of the weekend. K'Man, I just thought too much. I thought so much I could hardly get out of bed todayf' From Friday morning through Saturday night there was only one thing certain in the students' minds. The football game with Suffield. Nobody was sure of the rest. Most minds were ablaze with ideasg ideas hard define, but ideas not to be forgotten. And because of this the Colloquium was a success. It was perhaps the most successful thing that occurred on campus all year. Because of its magnitude? Yes. But most important it was a success because of its aftermath. And that aftermath is still with us, and always will be. V. 9
