     'Freedom Is, "You Want It’ _ ' ‘ 
     
    
   
   
    
     .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 
     
    

    
     it tomorrow, tomorrow will 
     
     always be tomorrow. 
     
    

    
     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
