چکیده

l)y Steve Hoffman by John Papa Dave Krashna, SBP candidate, expressed the specific goals o f his platform last night while in caucus with his campaign mana­ gers. He explained that he and his running-mate, Mark Winings, decided the campaign issues have been dealt with “only superfici­ ally.” They felt it was about time the students were given “ facts instead of generalities.” “The basic responsibility of our university is to prepare students to be adults in the world of the 1970’s. This prepar­ ation goes beyond merely fulfill­ ing academic requirem ents en tit­ ling the student to a degree that he may present to an em ployer after graduation. Each student is going to be more than a job-holder. He will be a citizen, a Christian, a family member, a member o f the world community -a n d he will have responsibili­ ties in all these capacities. We believe that the student is not only ready to learn how to function as a 1970 adult, but that many students are begging to be taught. The question is, how do you teach them ?” he stated. “ First the curriculum must be changed to fill these various needs. The faculty must be given the opportunity to come out o f their 9 to 5 existence and more fully into the com m unity to help make changes. We must get the movement for w ork/study programs into full swing. The rigidity of our present system of requirem ents should be replaced with a more flexible concept of advisor recommendations.
