Personi Personality is individuality. In its broader sense it is that subtle, indefinable trait of character which constitutes the difference in individuals. It is identity, the sum total of one's personal charac teristics. In the restricted sense in which we have grown to regard it, per sonality is that distinctive quality which makes one an outstanding figure. Personality is the trait that transforms a man or woman from a commonplace being into a compelling and attractive figure. It constitutes the difference bet ween the ordinary and the remarkable. Personality is power. It has force and strength, charm and at traction. The man with a striking personality can accomplish greater deeds in life than a man of equal abilities but less personality. A well known example of the power of personality was exemplified in the life of the great Theodore Roosevelt. "Teddy" was per sonality, a virile, striking, energetic, original magnetic force. He endeared himself to the people ASMER'S BEI Next Door to Asi Corner Hard In the Hea Phone COLUMBIA'S ORII BEER 4 LOWEST PRfl OLD MILWAUKEE 6 or more $5.10 ea, PABST BLTEV RIBB 12 oz. 6 or more $5.5 BUDWEISER 1-5 cal 12 oz. 6 or more$58 MICHELOB 1-5 case 6 or more $5.89 ea.

He was a great man, a man of splendid principles, broad interests, and remarkable energies. His abilities were great, but his impression on our nation was doubled by the power of his wonderful personality. Personality is the development of one's outstanding and highest traits to the greatest power. It must be distinctive. Originality has a charm and power no imitation can equal. Personality is natural, spontaneous, and wholly individual. It is a combination of altruistic feelings, noble purposes, talents and individuality. To acquire a pleasing and ef fective personality should be the aim of each of us. Unselfishness, originality, and concentrated effort can transform a c m monplace character into a U,que and compelling personality, a force in life, a magnetic influence, and b power for good. It is created by the. individual alone, and to a certain extent lies within reach of all of us.

How gratifying it should be to one to have the words of Irving Eacheller's Yankee describing a striking personality applied to him. Let us recall the Yankee's description: "He's a little cuss, but there's a feller inside of him whose brow touches the sky. When I met him, I was looking down, and when I left him, I was looking up." Let your brow touch the sky! Force others to look up. Walker in Sims (Continued from Page 1) dorms and asking what can your Student Government do for you? * "Some of the programs we want to initiate in the future are a student operated book store and a student-faculty senate. We have already implemented a health referral hot line and the rap sessions." Mr. Walker concluded his talk by soliciting new ideas and asking for active participation by the students. Any students interested in becoming involved are asked to come by the Student Government office in the Russell House and see a cabinet officer. Cabinet mem bers are Omsbudsman Clay Riley; Secretary of Freshman Affairs, Tim McConnell; Secretary for Minority Affairs, Oliver Washington; Campus and Com munity Affairs, Steve Cannon; Secretary of Academic Affairs, Mike White; Secretary of Coed Affairs, Vicky Esslinger; Secretary of General Welfare, Dave Powers.

Society becomes entropic, and immoral and humanity dies. And as for student paranoia, it is well grounded in grim, recent historical fact-Jackson State, Kent State, People's Park, May Day mass arrests, documented CIA sur veillance of students and in filtration into many student organizations, the Army black list, Spiro-Nixon fascist denunciations, etc., etc. But most of all, we are not the same people and anything but silent. If the crux of education were really self exploration this is the first educator I've ever heard to admit it. And certainly one of the very few who practice it In class. Mr. Ottinger, what little education we get from the limited resources and traditions of what passes for U.S. culture, is mainly ideology and has nothing to do with logic. Many of us are aware of this fact flavored ash over Bar-B-Q Blossom St. At the Bridge.

Because this is so, there is more often than not instilled in us a deep hatred f6r ignorance of any sort and a kind of 'desperate intolerance: Words such as 'evil' and 'morality' are not used in the above quote in the conventional sense. The quote itself is from my teacher (I'm merely his disciple and spokesman in this column); John David Garcia. He is a young man, only 36, to have written such a revelation called, "The Moral Society; An Alternative To Death," (page 167). But most importantly, he is a philosopher. No, Mr. Ottinger, far too many of us in this generation realize just exactly what Doomsday is all about, what it implies for the small spaceship Earth-and we don't put much credit in the myth that the Heavenly Father will save us all from ourselves at the last moment, Rnmething Pur fundamentalist brethren seem to put great stock in. No, instead of believing in this grand Good Humor rumor, we face the fact that the next millenia will either make or break us as a species including the rest of the rlanet Perhena yur Students ar silent, Mr. Ottinger, because they consciously or unconsciously know that one or two free classes in a particular university in a par ticular state is like fighting the blaze of bureaucratization and scientific illiteracy with an eyedropper. All of society, education most of all, must be set on its ear and completely re-ordered if we are to have any chance of surviving at all. To this, all I can add is read Garcia's book for further ex planation. And to you, Mr. 0t tinger, I will accuse you of being a scientifically illiterate liberal with the limited perception that comes from being a specialist and, while I may love and appreciate your concern, you seem to be preoc cupied with symptoms and not causes; because this is so, I am deeply concerned by what you and the U.S. aren't--entities that have made all other functions sub servient to and supportive of qducation and the expansion -of Total Awareness Individually and collectively--entitles that con sciously play the Game of LUfe and avoid the Game of Plesue entitles that realize that security without knowledge and happiness without awareness can only lead to the perverson of the evolutionary force atd eventual Death.
