BY JOHN GOYER
The Pilot Program came down with a
disease in 1975 that it's been trying to
shake ever since, the disease of student
apathy.
Many of the 275 students in the
program, housed in Alice Lloyd Hall,
hardly seem to know what function the
program serves, nor do they seem to
care.
THE STUDENTS don't take the
program seriously, according to one
participant. But like most, she con-
cedes that the program has its benefits.
PilothStudents in general seem to
think the program is a good idea in
theory, but admit they are more in-
terested in their future careers than in
a liberal arts education. While
acknowledging the opportunities are
there for an innovative learning ex-
perience, most would rather concen-
trate on vocational training.
"I wouldn't take one of their
seminars,"dsaid Pilot student Scott
Steinberg. "But that's because I'm
going into the Business School, and
they're (Business School admissions)
pretty picky."
The Pilot Program offers courses in
Alice Lloyd Hall, taught by graduate
students who live in the dorm among
the students.
Program director Eric Lipson said
one of the program's goals is to create
the atmosphere of a small liberal arts
school using the resources of'a much
larger University.
But the career-oriented attitude of
the students prevents the program
from creating that atmosphere.
THIS ATTITUDE was expressed ap-
tly by one student who said, "When
you're in Pilot, all it means is that you
can take Pilot courses, and you're
guaranteed a seat in the classroom."
"
'There's something lacking.
There's nothing spectacular
about being in Pilot.'
-A Pilot Program student.
"There's something lacking," said
one student. "There's nothing spec-
tacular about being in Pilot."
Another student who did not want to
be identified, said, "I'm going here for
a purpose, and I can't really get in-
volved in the intellectual world. Sure, I
want to learn ...but it didn't pique my
interest."
The student said he was too worried
about his vocational training to get in-
volved in liberal arts.
SEVERAL SOURCES confirmed this
trend. Typical is the report of a
Literary College faculty study conduc-
ted last May. "Students are more con-
servative as a result of the recent
recession and the obvious constriction
of career opportunities ahead," the
,report stated."
This ideology is apparently at odds
with the philosophy of the Pilot
Program. "We have a commitment to
innovation," said resident Teaching
Fellow Leonard Garfield. He said the
program had attempted to address
career oriented students by offering
courses in law, environment, and
psychology. But as an English teacher,
Garfield said, "If I can reach 25 per
cent of my students, that's great."
The attitude of many students today
"goes against the whole philosophy of
the Pilot 'Program," said Teaching
Fellow Jan Schleiger. "The purpose of
an education is to experience different
views, to break down some of your
prejudices," but students just don't
want to take chances, Schleiger said. A
dance teacher, Schleiger related the
story of a student who came up and
asked to take her class, but then
changed her mind because she didn't
know what a dance class would look like
on her transcript.
TEACHING Fellow Gary Peters said
he seesthis role as that of someone who
helps students get involved, but added
that in the end the motivation must
come from the student. "I would like
them to take that step instead of taking
them by the hand," Peters said. "If
they're pushed, they tend to resent it."

Another teaching fellow, Kim Turner,
has a slightly different ide~a. If you
don't try to motivate the students, she
said, "you're kind of writing off your
ideals, too."
Schleiger pointed out that her dance
course is a special benefit for the
students, as they are all guaranteed a
place in the class. "It's here, it's
available," she said. "A lot of students
don't know the fight that goes on to get
into the technique classes in the dance
department." Schleiger expressed
regret that students don't appreciate
such benefits more.
THERE ARE some students,
however, who are eager to utilize the
benefits of the program. According-to
freshwoman Rene Radcliffe, the
program has worked because there is
a "definite sense of community."
RADCLIFFE explained that
everyone at her high school was from
the middle-class and white. Through
the Pilot Program, she has met studen-
ts who practice the Hindu religion. "I
never understood what Hinduism was
all about until I lived with Hindus," she
said.
The freshwoman said her teachers'
enthusiasm inspired her to work. Of her
Pilot English teacher, she said, "His
heart and soul are in what he's doing."
OVER 60
UNITED NATIONS (AP)-The num-
ber of people over 60 will double in the
next 21 years, according to projections
by the U.N. Fund for Population Ac-
tivities.
The over-6O group is expected to
number nearly 600 million by the year
2000, the agency reports.
The increases will include a high
proportion of women who will survive
into their 60s particularly in North
America, Europe and the Soviet Union,
it adds.
AFSCME
employees
to bargain
with union
(Continued from Page 1)
A small but vocal group within the
union, the Membership Action Commit
tee (MAC), has been urging the unio
members toreject-the bargaining
team's recommendation. In a newslet
ter distributed to union workers this
week, MAC urged the membership to
increase their demands on the Univer-
sity and to vote to strike if those
demands were not met.
Anderson said this group was not a
threat to the vote today. He said they
are part of a "radical" group that has
three or four members in AFSCME
locals around this area. Even if the
recommendation was rejected today,
Anderson said, there would be "no way
that it could lead to a strike vote."
Two years ago the union did go on
strike when negotiations at that time
broke down. A 26-day walkout ensued,
disrupting dormitory and hospital ser-
vices, especially food and cleaning ser-
vices in the dorms. Neither the Univer-
sity bargaining team nor the union
leadership expects these talks to lead to
another strike.

"WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE?"
Psalms 2:1 and Acts 4:25.
"BLESSED ARE THEY THAT DO HIS COMMANDMENTS,
THAT THEY MAY HAVE A RIGHT TO THE TREE OF LIFE,
AND MAY ENTER IN THROUGH THE GATES INTO THE
CITY.
Note the place and position the above verse occupies in
The Bible - it is the eighth from the end. Just seven more
verses and God's written Revelation to man closes. These
seven last verses contain one of the most wonderful and
glorious Invitations of God to men. Also, one of the most
terrible and awful threats of God Almighty's judgments:
THE INVITATION: "And the Spirit and the bride say,
Come.And let him that heareth say,Come. And let him that is
athirst. Come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of
life freely."
THE WATERING THREAT: "If any man shall add unto
these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are
written in this book; and if any man shall take away from the
words of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of
the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things
which are written in this book."

flights" of the souls of two men to other worlds: one carried
by the angels to Abraham's bosom, the other died was
buried, and in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in torments -
not much about the details of the trips but very definite about
the destinations and the conditions found at the end of the
journey. Let any mock and scorn who will, but as for me let
me stir up myself to "Fear The Lord and depart from evil."
"Why do the heathen rage?" A heathen is one who does
not believe in "The God of The Bible." The ones who rebel
and rail against the righteous Laws of The Holy God, and pull
down H is wrath, curse, scorn and contempt upon the human
race In judgments. While the Second Psalm gives us a pic-
ture and the cause of present world conditions and tells us
the way out, yet turn back to the First Psalm and look at a
different scene, a beautiful and fruitful tree planted by the
side of a river. It is the blessed man "that walketh not in the
counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners,
nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight Is in the
law of the Lord, and in His Law doth he meditate day and
night."
"In His Law doth he meditate day and night." Concerning
