A STUDENT SPEAKS
Our American society, onr Amer
ican 'vvay of living is based on the
democratic principle, namely, the
snpremac}^ of the will of the peo
ple and the right of the people to
liberty subject to certain social
restraints. For the safeguarding of
this principal a.nd for the perpet
uation of this tradition our far
sighted parents have established an
educational system equaled by
none existing in this world. For
upon the enlightenment and intel
ligence of the people rests the life
of democracy. Consequently, it is
to our forefathei-s that we om’C the
advantage of our present-day edu
cational opportunities.
For many years, the greater por
tion of our lives is spent in very
tedious book work. "VVe must study
Homer’s “Odyssey” and Cicero’s
“Orations,” we must delve into
Chaucer’s ‘ ‘ Canterbury Tal.es ’ ’
and Shakespeaire’s “King Lear,”
we must conquer Euclid’s Geome
try and Newton’s “laws of mo
tion,” not to mention “avoir
beau” and “peu s’en faut” con
structions in French. These things
we accept as a necessary part of
our preparation for living the de-
mocraitc lifei. Yet, we are prone to
neglect other phases of oxir educa
tional— “our practical living op
portunities. ’ ’
Campus life offers the student
an excellefnt opportunity to live the
full life. Indeed, it often presents
situations more difficult than any
to be found in the outside wox’ld.
Still there is a feeling in the air
that at St. Augustine’s College we,
the students, are failing to capit
alize on tlie many opportunities
presented to us to practise the
democratic principle.
What of “Student Countil”?
Why is it not operating at max
imum efficiency and effectiveness?
The fault, dear fello^v students, is
not “in our stars,” but in oursel
ves. We fail to realize that our re
presentative body can be successful
only in so far as it has our whole
hearted, sincere support. Student
public opinion must support Stu
dent Council if it is to develop as
an instrument of student govern
ment. We have a golden opportun
ity in this body. With new blood
and new thought in our midst, let
us oxploit and develop our Student
Council to its fullest.
JMore than this, however, is to be
noted the startling metamorphosis
of the St. Augustine’s College stu
dent from the enthusiastic, eager,
ambitious Freshman to the lacka-
adazical, indifferent, “Yes-man”
Senior. Indeed, this campus offers
a remarkable laboratory for some
ambitious student of psychology.
Consider the change in school
spirit during the course of the year.
