i.iora:cy Be Positive! THE GO[D" BUG Recently much criticism has been aimed at the administration ---criticism which may not speak above the whispers of student gripes, but which nevertheless is still there. The chief student complaint is that the administration cares not enough to open its _ ~~~SC~J~:g:y~~;zi:l~~~:~St~!~~:i~t~~e~J:;.in~~;;:::;~~ees studying I_V=O=L=4=O,=N=O=,=1=4 ====W=ES=T=E=RN=M=A=RY=L=A=N=D=C=O=LL=E=GEF,=W=E=S=TM=- ='N=S~TE=R=,=M=A=RY=L=A=N=D=====M=al,..,-C=h=l=, =19,,6=3 us, the students, is too tight, yet there seems to be a 1- r.l·t • t t ' M .1- .

The students at \VMC, some- where 'along the line, have picked up and cultivated a negative attitude about the college and administration. It is "in" at West- ern Maryland to be critical of everything the college does and stands for. We wouldbe the last to deny that there is a lack of communication between the student body and those who rule it, but couldn't part of the problem be that the students themselves are unwilling to go halfway? \Ve, as students, must endeavor to adopt a more attitude concerning our college.

Perhaps, when we start building together, we can fuse the two ends to reach our common goals much faster. Both ends have to make, and only in making them can they supply which Western Maryland needs to make it a more vital institution.
