Caring Cures
To the St. Mary's College
Community:
To those who were
reading the Point News last
year, the following comments
may sound familiar. Last
semester I noticed a
frightening number of moans,
groans, and angry looks.
People stopped smiling at
each other on the path, and
roommates began bitching at
one another for incredibly
minor things. Sound
familiar?
Yes, I'm talking about
classic semester-end crush.
Everybody's going through
it—you, your roommate,
your RD, and your teachers.
The work has been piling up
to this point, and suddenly,
instead of having an extra
ijeek of classes between now
and finals, we've got a
vacation. No wonder every­body
is upset.
There's a solution to
the grumps. It's not
complete, but it helps a
lot. If you find you've got
nigh spirits—just finished
that 5-page paper, you got a
date to the Formal, whatever-
-smile at people. Give
-lugs. Show that you care
and you'll get spectacular
results just when you need
them.
—Jonathan Crawford

To the Editor,
Accuracy in Academia,
or Purge your Professor, is
spreading across campuses in
America, and it's time some­one
at St. Mary's commented
on how lucky we are. At
other colleges students make
reports on their teachers
who express Marxist or other
nonAmerican conformist
views, and these reports are
turned into slanderous
newspaper articles. We at
St. Mary's have thus far
escaped this idealistic

vigilantism, and we should
be proud.
At our campus pro­fessors
are free to express
any views that are worthy of
being taught, and are
willing to experiment with
ideas that may not be of
academic value. When a
student here labels a
professor it is more likely
to be for not being radical
enough. We fulfill the aims
of education better than
these political hate groups
that masquerade as
"academic". We should be
proud.
But more than anything,
we should be proud that we
maintain our freedom within
a state system. It is not
party or ideology that makes
societies of people
function, it is the strength
of the people themselves,
and in a world that daily
asks us to co-opt our beliefs
and spit on our brothers, we
at St. Mary's are very
strong indeed.
