.dept., as well, the free ex— pression of this media; I invite all interested, stud- ents of philosophy, to air' their whims and whimpers, where it might take root.

We openly invite criticism and advice, as to the depe artment's course of action

The will to freedom, is the very expression of free— dom itself. One need not consider oneself more free this year than last year and probably more free next year. Although there is an amass— ing'of heavier student rep-

‘resentation and power tripp-

ing on high, who's to say we're more free now than ever before. I will concede our expression of this free— dom has manifested itself, but we're still left with the same freedom. The ulti— mate freedom is here and now, so dig it! If it were not

so and we carried on in this former Vein (as if we were gaining freedom), we would be continually overloading with thicker freedom. This only leads to absurdity, ' because the freest subjects, would be the dead and inan- imate, (or even bureaucrat— ic.) or vice versa; what persecution it is to be born! If you're looking to find

When you get tired of wait- ing for the student council to plan your social life for you, you might fill the interrim by freely choosing your academic endeavours.

If your student awareness

as a free spirit in this madhouse has already occured, then you might make express- ion of your choices of int- ellectual pursuit as student representative and by the courtesy of the philosophy.

and your position as/a stu-

dent.

V As a consumer in this in- telleCtual smorgasbord, you

probably understand the

phrase, "you are what you eat.", if you're becoming full of excrement, you'll need a change of diet. In order to facillitate this,

you have the option of plan— ning your courses. If you're

dissatisfied with present

philosophical directions in

any related courses, help give it.some bearing and meaning by bitching where it belongs. If you would

like to see new course stru— ctures added, we enjoy your 4

thinking.

NO BUREAUCRACY, RED TAPE,

RULES, QR HASSLES: ONLY PEOPLE ALLOWED!

The dept. of philosophy

extends a wish for all int- erested students to partiCe

ipate in the construction

of a better system of know-

ledge. '
