Probably most seniors go so far as to apply to a college because of the disorders it had been through, but campus demonstrations must be of particular interest to the student of today, and evaluating what they re worth deserves a little brain-spraining. The or at least the best school attendance is to gain an education, and this is true of college, as well as grade and high schools. The purpose of any school is to teach. Some schools teach better than others, hut, sadly, enough, there is no perfect school, and all-to-many schools fall far short of any realistic ideal.

Students iri school have the right to a good education. Unfortunately, not all of them will profit from it, but rfiey must be provided with the opportunity to learn all they can and will. The farther a student progresses in his education, the better-qualified he is to judge the quality of the instruction offered to him. Often, by the time a student reaches college, he may believe there are flaws in the system that is educating him. Educators hang in with that, surprisingly enough, they may be unable to agree on where the flaws exist.

Most of us may be familiar with the works of author Paul Goodman, including one book, which contains an attack on American education that any confrontation leader could envy. Yes, colleges are in need of change. What changes, and how they should be caused is a question every every decide. Student demonstrations are an exceedingly visible, dramatic way to call attention to the inadequacy of the school system. They force people to face the fact that not all of higher deserve the title.

Unfortunately, there are side effects. As a result of these confrontations, the teaching process in many colleges has been completely washed out. By closing the colleges, and vandalizing their facilities, often student demonstrators have harmed their avow'ed purpose. When this occurs, it, of course, raises the question as to whether students are really demonstrating for a better education, or whether they are using these demands as an excuse to raise the roof. Further, many students seem to demonstrate concerning conditions that have very little direct bearing on the one the only should demand from education.

Confrontation can be a valid tool in forcing those in authority to face shortcomings in their institutions. However, it would seem that discussion and negotiation would be the effective steps for actually bringing about the changes. If communications are so poor that these have no effect probably demonstration will have none either, in the long run. It should not be necessary to add that violence and vandalism only have the effect of closing the minds of the public to otherwise reasonable student demands. At the moment, revenge-by-student-power may seem sweet, but in the end, such students hurt only themselves.

It will be interesting to observe the colleges and other schools when demonstrators are old enough to be in charge. Taking the long-range look, will they be able, then, to bring about the changes they sit-in for today? ill our schools finally become places where all of the young can receive all the education they desire? Or will be barricaded in his office by the chanting class of 1998? KINGSTON Bright spring finds two teen clubs in Kingston working hard on fund raising benefits in the name of community service.

Temporary officers were named at a recent meeting and include Stephen Sharot, president; Jackie secretary and Donna Cahill, treasurer. The first meeting brought 45 teens to the Brigham School.

The group meets every second and fourth Tuesday and it is hoped that with more adult assistance the teens can go to a weekly schedule. At present a basketball program has been organized to answer the clamor for more sports activity in the ward. Finch who started the idea of a Ward Teen Club said he was overwhelmed with the response and gratified at the teen enthusiasm. Maybe with the Fifth Warders as an example other teen clubs of this nature will be formed throughout the city. DANCE PLANNERS Deep in details of the St.
