CARMEN: I came here to
study and to learn about peo-
ple. Learning about people
is pretty important to me not
only because I’m a psy-
chology major but because
learning to live with people
and to tolerate their ideas
is just as important as ac-
quiring an education.

(EDITOR'S NOTE: In an age when position and function seem to be of paramount concern, the Rattler has at-
tempted to find out what students themselves feel they should be doing as students. Most prevalent among the replies was
the need for action - for a knowledgeable, dynamic student as opposed to the apathetic one. What the majority of stu-
dents referred to is most articulately expressed by Kahlil Gibran: "A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more
than much knowledge that is idle.")

Almost annually, the incumbent newspaper staff is faced
I -th the following question: What is responsible journalism?
2- Erhaps more explicitly, this question should be phrased,
hat is responsible journalism and how are its tenets
g Splied to the Rattler newspaper? The answers to these
lestions are not ones that are formulated anew by each
‘icceeding editorial staff. Primarily, journalistic respon-
bility can be defined as maturity and good taste in publica-
ons. For further clarification on this definition, the fol-
wwing excerpt from the Rattler Code of Ethics is offered.
"The primary objective of the Rattler staff is to pro-
ice a quality newspaper for the University community
id its publics. The Rattler serves primarily the stu-
ent body, the administration, and the faculty of the
hiversity. The Rattler staff recognizes, however, its
esponsibility to other University publics and to the com-
nity of San Antonio.

Two years and one month it has taken me to write an ar-

we’re gonna find out how
things are is through experi-
ences both on the educational
and the practical levels.
