HOW TO
“HAVE SOUL
The ordinary, typical “college student” does
not always make the adjustment from high school,
where he assumed a rather small role in determinmg
his future plans, or at least, deciding u'p those plans.
However, college is different and demands a new
outlook, in all respects.
College is for adults. And for adult thinking.
There are many areas that require such a realization
and a focus for the student to acknowledge as de
manding of his very soul. For an individual to “have
soul” in these crucial times, a grown-up outlook, an
adult attitude, is needed. Cei’tainly, the foundations
should be established.
A most perplexing area demanding of “soul”
is the approach to responsibility and acceptance as
adults. As high school “children”, we were usual
ly in constant, unorganized contempt with everything
going that was not to our well - being as individuals.
For individuals were basically what we were. Now,
we should realize that we are adults. Not, that the
individualism is gone, indeed it is more prevalent
now than ever before. But with this new concept
comes the realization of others. We are no longer
children in our own Mickey Mouse world, but we are
(or certainly should be) adults contained within this
world, a rational, demanding one.
When we realize we are adults and that we are
the hope for tomorrow and that we are setting the
pace, then I see no need for controversies over the
shorts rule, climbing flag poles, or anything so tri
vial. But rather, I see the need for “down to earth
communication” with other adults with a few more
years as adults and consequently with more adult
understanding.
Do you wish to remain a child for the^ next
forty, fifty, sixty years? All that it takes to imply
“NO” is a little understanding, a little faith in an
older generation, a lot of guts to stand up and say “I
am an Adult! ”

The film is the twentieth cen
tury art form. Today’s colleges
and universities offer courses
in the film and film making
through their fine arts depart
ments. Movies made the big
gest splash of aU at Montreal’s
Expo. The “underground mov
ie” has come out of its hole in
a flood of films written, di
rected. produced, acted, and
filmed by amateurs. Film lov
ers organize clubs to view old
favorite flicks — new called
“film classics." International
film festivals laud each new
wave of film art, first from one
countrj' then from anotlier. Mil
lions of people all over the
world in remote, primitive
areas, who will never read a
book or see a painting, have
access to weekly movies in
their own villages. The film
today is an art form of univer
sal appeal.
Sutfh an influential and wide
reaching art form belongs on
the campus, which is, after all,
a misorcoosm of the larger
world. Furthermore, one of the
oldesit theories about the piu*-
pose of art, any art form, is
the pragmatic theory of art—
that the purpo.je of art is
“either to profit or to please, or
to blend in tihe delightful and
the useful.” (Horace Ohaucer
advocated this view when he
would give the prize for the
besit story in the Cantebury
Tales to the one “of best sen
tence and most solaas,” the
tale which most enlightened
and entertained. The campus
is, or should be, concerned with
the joy in learning, and the
best of movies achieve a simul
taneous blend of enjoyment
and enlightenment.
The enjoyment in films is as
varied as the films themselves.
The scope of emotional enjoy-
meP-it available in film viewing
ranges the entire speotrum of
human emotions from intense
vicarious involvement to a
detached, objeotive reaction
Such a broad compass of emo
tion is possible, of course, be
cause the movie covers the
raoge of the human condi
tion from tragedy to melo-
drame to comedy to farce
to satire, from stark realism
to surreailistic abandon. All
this the camera captures with a
visual impact unrealized by the
unaided human eye. Add to this
the marvelous sound teohniqiies
of today’s film makers, and the
movie movie strikes the viewer
with aai emotional and sensual
force rarely equaled in any
other media, even the stage.
Besides emotional and sens
ual pleasure, the movie affords
intellectual pleasiu’e in the con
templation of the cinematog
raphy, the directing of the
acting, of the sound track, of
the lighting techniques of the
underlying concept of the fihn
as a whole, A well made movie
aiffo-rds the opportunity to re
vel in the appreciation of fine
craftsmansihip and superb ar
tistry.
As to enlightenment, the
movie fully obeys Pape’s dic
tum, “The proper study of man
kind is man,” as it examines
every facet of man from his
solitary psyche and individiial
drives to his personal life in
volving his intimate associate
to man as a social group with
collective drives and instincts.
Movies present man trapped in
his confine of time and space,
and yet the viewer, throuigh the
movie, is able to project him
self beyond his individual con
fine of space and time to see
universal man. Thus, the movie
enables man to liberate himself
from himself — one of the pri
mary goals of liberal education.

So You Think
You’re In Love
As each year pirogresses at
Brevard Ooltege, many new re
lationships .are made, many are
renewed, and many are brok
en. It’s Hhe old story of a boy
meeting a girl, faillinig in loye,
and sometimes getting his ox
her heart crushed.
This word love is used so
much in so many ways that it
is hard to understand whether
or not one is really in love.
St. Paul, even though he may
have been a bachelor, defines
love very well in the thirteenth
chapter of Corinthians. “Love
is patient and kind; love is not
jealous or boastful; it is .not ar
rogant or rude. Love does not
insist on its own way; it is not
irritable or resentful; it does
not rejoice at wrong, but re
joices in the right. Love bears
all things, believes all tihings,
hiopes all things, endures all
things.”
If one feels he is in love, he
should take this definition and
see if what he feels can meas
ure up to iiit. Ofteatimes, because
we are human beings, we in
terpret sexual contact as lovei
It matters not how intimate one
is physically, but how intimaite
he is sTOritu'ally that deter
mines his love for aother per
son. There is but one way to
do ithis and that is through a^
ting love comes from one’s
heart not from -H^here he puts
his hands. It is an expressive,
sharing relaitionship between
two peofple who meet each
other’s needs as persons.
Jumping 'into an intimiate
phyS’ioal relationship without
love is like jumping out of an
airplane withOiUit a paradtate.
At the end of the ride the re
sults is usually a hurt or a
numlbing of true inner feelings.
Without these feelings one is
taken farther away from being
able to have a real lovin? rela
tionship with another person.
A real Iwing relationship is
one iin whicih each person gives
and shares with the ^ other.
There is a happiness in this
relationship which, comes in
directly as expressed in the
poem.
LOVE
I love you.
Not only for what you are,
But for what I am
V/'hen I am with you.
i love you.
Not only for what you have
Made of yourself, .
But for what you are m'akfiig
of me.
I love you
For the part of me that you
bring out;
I love you
For puttinig your hand into my
heaped-’Up heart
And passing oyer all the fool
ish, weak things
That you can’t help dimly see
ing there, . ,
And for drawing out into tne
light
All the beautiful belongings
That no one else had loo
quite for enough to fmd.
I love you because you
helping me to make
Of the lumber of my life
Not a tavern
But a temple;
Out of the works
Of my every day
Not a reproach
But a song
