It seems there is great confusion as to the point of Marlon Brando's refusal to

~appear on the Academy Awards to receive his Oscar. Many claim that he was being cheap, arrogant, and at best childish. But is this really the nature of the beast?

In today's highly mobile (faster automobiles?) world principles are seen only in a utilitarian sense, i.e. only when they are useful to us for furthering our own interests. Resulting from the aforesaid, when Brando refused to appear he was simply trying to create

Those values Which have given rise to the material wealth of the western world now threaten us with ultimate and final ruin. Having ser- ved their purpose admirably, they are no longer required for the original purpose and, since a new set of values

have not as yet been re-estab-l

lished, they now perpetuate and feed upon themselves. That is, they exist now for their own sake: no longer do they serve the human ends rather human beings are now subject to their domination and are serving the ends those values dictate, con- sequently leading us to ruin due to the over man— 'ipulation of our environ- ment, resources and human capacity which these or- iginal (and present) val- ues were set up to do. As

a result, you get progress for the sake of progresso

Our goal being achieved we have not replaced it with other goals which would necessitate"a re— volution of values” (Neitzche) whose nature would be determined by those goals.

The focus is, of course, upon education. One edu- cational system is still structured in terms of the old set of values and, con— sequently are perpetuated thereby.

others: the self—conscious free, responsible individ- ual directly himself. Ap- athy emerges when one is immersed in the "herd" due to lack of personal involv- ement because of external direction by others. Each individual is called from the herd to assume the free- dom and responsibility of his 9gp direction. With such a one you will find no apathy.
