Pot sale
e nds today Pots, piggy banks, and potted plants are a few of the items on sale in the music quad, as the art students pot sale comes to an end today. Large urns, tea sets, waterpipes, ashtrays, bowls, and many other varieties of ceramic wares make the sale quite interesting. All of the pottery at the sale has been made and priced by the art students. Mr. Val Sanders of the Art f'cpart men said that the sale was designed to defray expenses for materials that the students had to buy for the pottery. "The sale is good for the ego and ego is good for regenerative ideas. This is because it shows students that other people like their wares . " " The sale grossed over $2,000 last year, making $300 for the student fund," Sanders said. "The students made out very well. Another value of the sale is that it brings members of the community to the college who might never be here if it weren't for the sale."

DR. FARSON SPEAKS
' • . . Enioy change and swing with it'
By Lois Cavalier "We are entering a pos t- industrial era where people must no longer be standar dized but must be trained for diversity and to enjoy c hange and swing with it," Dr. Richard Farson told an audience of about 300 here Wed nesday night. "Let's abandon the whol e concept of essentialism and make education a n esthetic experience worthwhile in and of itself," Dr. Farson said. He feels that we s hould trust to "luck and the natural inquiring minds of human beings" for the learning of such fundamentals as read ing and writing. Dr. Farson founded the Western Behavioral Sciences Institute in La Jolla a nd is currently involved with the crea-
Art ins tructor Harry Bliss, di rector of the Dwight Boehm Galle r y, is s hown with some of the 70 selected works
tion of a new company called Group Dynamics, designed to help people redesign for themselves the social rel ationships in business , government, community and family. In presenting some of the innovative ideas for which he is noted , he predicted a major revol ution within the next year which will bring about great changes in women's rights. He reacted to laughter from the audience at this statement by saying that "On Dec. 3, 1969, a major women's revolution is funny, but I don't think that by Dec . 3, 1970 it will any longer be considered a laughing matter''. "There is no group in any society more discriminated against that our women, and it is dreadful and shame-

ful," Dr. Farson said. "There are greater differences within the sexes than there are between them, and we are coming to a time when girls will be just soft boys . " To a woman in the audience who protested that she enjoys being "all woman'' and dominated by her husband, he smiled and said, "You, my dear, are what is known as an Uncle Tom". Dr. Farson also predicted gaining momentum in the ''black struggle'', which he says has been mostly ignored, and in the student movements for im proved education methods on campus. "There is much to be pessimistic about in the future," he said . "Serious scholars are predicting that we may not even make it through the 1970's, so we haven't got time to fool around . Our education system needs fixing now and it isn't getting fixed." ''Education can no longer be just the teaching of facts , and our instructors must become arrangers of experiences where people learn. We say we want creativity, but we really only want it in manageable amounts." He referred to the present educational system as a "building block system of pre-requisites right up to the doctorate degree stage". "People are really very similar , and we need a standardized approach to individualism rather than an individual approach to standardization," he said. "We are probably the first generation in history to go through a reversed transmission of culture", Dr. Farson explained. "Suddenl y it is the young who know more than older people and who have more interesting and informed views on such topics as human values, sex and religion. It's no wonder our i nstitutions are unstable.'' Dr. Farson was int roduced by college P r eside nt Dr. Frederick R. Huber .
