Mead Emphasizes New Ideas
Contrary to the popular conception of an anthropologist as a
scientist buried in the past, Dr.
Margaret Mead spoke solely of
the future Wednesday night. In
her address to the honorees and
guests at the Academic Honors
Duy program, "Preparing for the
Vear 2000," Dr. Mead emphasized
the new ethics and concepts
which must be and will be developed by our generation to insure an orderly, united world.
In opposition to the "Dismal
Fifties" when people were grab-
ting for the present, the Sixties
are notable for the increase in
interest, especially student interest, in all aspects of life. The
\outhful generation of today,
used to living in a world constantly threatened with nuclear
annihilation, will cope with the
new    ethics    behind    controlled
population, indefinite life spans
\ Ir freezing, and a world society.
Living today on the earth are
more people than existed from
the beginning of time to the middle of the 18 century. We must
learn to harness the genius, the
new resources, and handle the
new problems of the coming age.
Youth must be treated as people ... no longer taxation without representation for wage-earners under 21, no longer armed
service without the right to vote.
"The older generation are immigrants from another age,"
spoke the renowned anthropologist, "youth live here. Older
generations of immigrants have
experience that youth doesn't
have yet. Youth will have to
participate with the older gent-ration in building a world you
want   to  live  in."

Pkttl ti Sim Matter
Speaking on the role of the college student in regard to democratic society, Fleming affirmed his belief that argument and debate
were essential components in the intellectual development of today's
youth. UM, he stated, will play an important part in this development, and "the rebirth of controversy" on this campus shows that
we are moving in the right direction. He concluded with the assertion
that the new administration would continue to encourage and aid
the students to develop and become useful, productive members
of this democracy.
Preceding the inaugural proceedings, Dr. Margaret Mead spoke
to the audience of the future. Dr. M. Robert Allen, Dean of the
Division of Continuing Education, spoke of the present. He introduced the students being honored by the annual Honors Day. Students on the Dean's List for two semesters or more, in the Honors
Program, and/or in the honoraries on the campus received recognition for their outstanding academic achievements. Over 120 students were so honored.
A special presentation was made to Gail Morantz as outstanding
sophomore girl by Gamma Sigma Sigma.

of the University, under the
direction of its president James
S. Billings, Jr.

Registration
Changed To
Sept. 13-14
Due to a conflict with the Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah,
the date of next fall's registration
has been changed.
Registration will take place
September 13 and 14, announced
Dr Henry King Stanford, instead
of September 15 and 16, the dates
of Rosh Hashanah.
Classes will begin September
13, with late registration available from September 14 through
September 20.
"The problem of producing an
academic calendar which can
take notice of the holidays of all
faiths and religions of a nation
with so diverse a population as
that of the United States is insoluble," Dr. Stanford said.
"For those students who have
calendar conflicts at the time of
registration, the Office of Student Affairs is empowered,
through the Dean of Men, Dean
of Women, or the student religious centers, to issue an appropriate statement regarding
i cgist rat inn to the registrar's
office, or on class attendance
to the faculty members."
The fall semester will end on
January 21, 1967, and Commencement will be Friday, January 27.
