Pity the poor Artsie, Dear Reader. Yes, we are a group most worthy of all the pity and consolation You are capable of . heaping upon us. We exist in.a world of hostility, mistrust, mod<ery, and injustice, all directed towards us. _ We are misunderstood, 1m— appreciated, and unloved. Aye, it's an awful worldfor this new gener- ation of political scientists, ptfilosoph‘ers, psyd‘iologists, sociolog- ists, and (shudder) English majors. We struggle through our first 12 years of prlic SleOl education, relieved at graduation that we have finally mastered the seemingly endless volumes ofinstructions that are fed into us, computer- like, with no_ thought of . analysis or criticism, jIBt re-processing and regurgit- ation. Naive as we are, __ we expectto’ be welcared warmly into the higher intellectual eld glint w ‘ GXiStS "r‘ " “r I carpus, proven intellectual ability will serve us well in facing the coming academic and human challenges which we know are the stuff of true education. And yet, . how quickly our balloon is burst! Like a harpoon thrown from the awesome arm of Captain Ahab himself, the first sneer of condescen-

for we Artsies, the whole of mankind would be condemned to suffer the indignity and inhumanity of a trade— Sd'lOOl education, for universities would not exist! So, fellow Artsies, be proud! Quote your quotes freely. Criticize Openly. And do not disguise your philosophical ponderings, Flaunt your talents and your education for the good of mankind and the better— 1ment of society. And the next time you are threatened by a goon-squad of engineers, or are _ victimized by the verbal rantings of a math. major, be gentle and remember, "There but for the Grace

of God, go we." I, for one, will hereafter bear the banner of an Artsie with diligence, fortitude, honor, and no small measure of pride. -
