Let us say that this quote means “to live.” To live;
just to live is not enough. Man is a social being. He can
live alone for a while, yet sooner or later he wants a
companion. Suppose that a man found himself the last
person on earth. Then, by some twist of fate, he finds a
much-needed companion. M
But wait! Also suppose that this companion is a per-
son of a different faith or race. What would the first fel-
low do? Would he wish not to associate with this second
person just because he did not agree with him or because
he did not like him?
Put this situation in another perspective and project
a college student into it. College students are supposedly
broad-minded and understanding. But are they? A bird’s-
eye view of some campus classes or certain gathering
places would disclose that people of different races or
nationalities stay apart from the others. Why? Perhaps
these “different” people are made to feel inferior or in-
secure; or to go further, perhaps they feel superior. What-
ever the case may be, they do keep apart.
To live, people need other people, no matter what
they think or speak, or how they look. As a member of
the human race, everyone of us can do just a little to
make this worldly life much better by being just a little
nicer, friendlier, or more cordial to our classmates, teach-
ers, and acquaintances. Even a smile goes a long way.

Shortly before his death, Thaddeus Stevens requested
this epitaph: “I repose in this quiet and secluded spot,
not from any natural preference for solitude, but finding
other cemeteries limited as to race by charter rules, I
have chosen this that I might illustrate, in my death, the
principles which I advocated through a long life: equality
of man before his Creator.”
The question uppermost in our minds is this: Why
can man not live in peace and harmony with his neigh-
bors, recognizing each as his equal created by the love of
the same infinite Being? Many will term equality of the
races as idealistic and utopian, but the Quakers and other
humanitarian groups have proven it to be possible to live
in brotherly love. Stevens was radical in his views, it is
true, but are not many so-called “common” people of
today just as extreme in the opposite direction?
Inequality, as perceived by the French writer Rous-
seau, had its origin when man began to consider others.
Before this, man was content to satisfy his own wants,
but after a time he adopted a system of family life, then
community life, and he began to distinguish the beautiful
from the not-so-beautiful, the strong from the weak.
Inequality because of achievement is good, for it
causes man to strive for higher goals. This is not racial
inequality; it is not a sin against brotherhood.

This is the important message of Brotherhood Week,

Jews—a civic organization of religiously motivated people
dedicated to building better human relations. among all
men without compromise of individual conscience. In a
spirit of good will and respect for the rights of others
the NCCJ seeks to eliminate intergroup prejudices through
a year-round educational program.
Although his important goal is to complete college
and become employed as a clinical psychologist, Robert
H. Wiley of Charlotte, Texas, also plans to prove that a
blind student can lead a normal life. In order to prove
that a blind person need not be either a beggar or abnor-

Regional casting auditions
the 1964 Campus Revue musical
variety show conducted by talent
scouts from SIX FLAGS Over
Texas will commence in the Texas
Union Auditorium at the Univer-
sity of Texas on Saturday, Feb-
ruary 29, at 10 a.m.
Mr. Charles R. Meeker, Jr., one
of the nation’s best-known show-
men who produced and directed
the Campus Revue productions in
1962 and 1963, will also direct this
year’s show. Mr. Meeker, along
with Stanley Mcllvaine, will su-
pervise the auditions. In addition
to tryouts at The University of
Texas, other collegians from 129
colleges and universities in Texas,
Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arizona, and
Colorado have been invited to au-
dition at selected institutions at
future dates.
Auditions in prior’ years have
brought out a wealth of talented
students seeking the coveted roles
in the Campus Revue. Many other
auditionees who were not selected
for the collegiate show were pick-
ed for other spots in the Park’s
Live Show Department. These in-
clude specialty acts as well as the
popular Crazy Horse Saloon sing-
ers and dancers.
For those selected, a summer
vacation filled with fun together
with a delightful experience
working with approximately 1,200
other college hosts and hostesses
in a wholesome atmosphere
awaits.
Student Must Realize
Obligation to Parents
Editor’s Note: This is the
ond segment of an essay written
by John Parker. Here he con-
tinues to discuss the responsibili-
ties of a student by elaborating
on a student’s responsibility to
his parents and his instructors.
As a student and as a son, the
collegian holds a good deal of re-
sponsibility to his parents. They
are the people who have brought
him to this point in life, and can
be repaid in great measure simply
by being given the privilege of
seeing a son or a daughter achieve
an excellent record in his or her
collegiate endeavors. Parents take
a great deal of pride in their off-
spring and can be made to feel
“ten feet tall” if one of their
brood accomplishes something
worthwhile, and college is certain-
ly worthwhile to anyone and
everyone able to spend time and
effort on it.
The student must realize that
his parents’ world is made up of
himself to a great extent, and
that his parents wish him to do
well in college so that they will
.be able to say to themselves, “As
our child has given a good per-
formance in college, so have we
given a good account of ourselves
in his rearing.”
Yet, there are parents who have
not done very well so far as rear-
ing their child goes; however, they
also will swell with pride at any
and all good achievements of
their child as heartily as the par-
ents who gave their child a better
background in early life.
Therefore, the student should
and must realize that he is doing
a great service to two of the most
important people in his life, his
parents, by making them happier
than they were before or happier
than they might have been had he
not done as well.
The most important thing in
college to a student other than
himself is the group of instructors
with which he comes into contact.
These are the people in his life
who influence his way of observ-
ing, thinking, and concluding just
as much, if not more, than his
parents have. They teach him to
stand on his own two feet by
forcing him to hard work and per-
severance through the way that
they assign him studies and meth-
ods of retaining knowledge. He is
responsible to do his work as they
expect it to be done—diligently,
unwaveringly, and generally so
nearly excellent as he is possibly
able. He can do this only through
hard work and perseverance,
which is what is being attempted
to be taught to him.
The instructor, as the parent,
also takes a great deal of pride
in a student whom he feels has
been taught well. He also can
stand off and say, “As my student
has given a good account of him-
