More Self Government An attempt to give coeds more elf-government is presently being tttempted.

"After the first glory of fresh man camp, new students' day, fra ternity and sorority rush wears off, and around the time of the first class quizzes, the freshman begins to realize in some vague way that he no longer the exclu sive star he used to be, but is surrounded by stars. He may be just an average Joe in this crowd. "This is when the shock begins." Zytowski indicated it is not the shock which is dangerous but how it is handled. "Those who cannot admit to themselves that they are not still the star they were in high school are the ones who stay in shock," he said. "They suddenly develop a consuming interest in something like dorm politics, Greek competi tion for trophies, the finer points of bridge, writing a great play or anything to divert themselves from their fear that they cannot com pete successfully with the other freshmen. "Their grades fall, and at the end of the semester or year they claim they know they could have done better, but they felt they had to do this job that nobody else could do."

It's really rather nice to be able - to wear those sweaters and suede I jackets at last, since most of us are getting pretty tired of those h cool but dark clothes properly worn after Labor Day. When sum mer clothes are put aside and it's too warm for winter outfits, the limited fashions available may soon bore us. Clothes, nowever, are only a part of coming winter. Anti-freeze is sold by the ton. The dog wants in at night. Leaves lie ankle-deep on lawns until some weary person decides it's worth while to rake t them up.

(To utilize the vernacular p prevalent in the land of the Game- tI - cock.) T HINKING OUT LOUD hereby welcomes itself to the fea- t tures section. n Imagine a nice long line off beer cans; for the optimists, ab nice long line of full beer cans; for t the pessimists, a nice long line of i~ "dead soldiers." And somewhere in e that maze of potential bliss (I'm an optimist) a quart can pro- t trudes from the masses, with its 'l shiny tin-plated head just~ beg- a igng for a "church key." v And so it is with people, outa from Walt Whitman's "DivineC Masses" one individual makes his presence known. But is he an in. dividual? Maybe he's a non-con-t formist, there is a difference, you know. A difference that is not as subtle as it first appears, a dif ference that is more than an ac ademic distinction between the two-word definitions.

Adjusting to a new place, people nd environment takes a sense of umor, a special kind of courage nd a lot of determination. You miss home, your friends and our town.

An individualist is one who hinks, you are apt to find him nywhere; he may be a leader of group, a follower, or completely livorced from the group. The in ividualist goes his own way, whon hat way coincides with the way of verybody else, well and good - vhen it doesn't he goes his own; mt differing from the non-con ~ormist, he goes without a fanfare. A lot of people like to think of hemselves as individualists, but iow many can really divorce them ealves from "what peonla think."
