Yet, every year, we hear talk about the total lack of communica- tion on campus. Perhaps this talk is well- founded—maybe the communication could be vastly improved; or perhaps it is mere bom- bast—we may be exaggerating the whole problem. But the real answer, it seems, lies in a combination of the two extremes, i.e., yes, there is an excellent student-faculty relation- ship, but on matters of real importance, this cordiality and understanding often vanishes. The effect of this breakdown in communica- tion is that ideas become mired in verbiage and nothing gets accomplished, simply be- cause there is no clear-cut method of adopting ideas for actual use in the school. To the end of eradicating such confusion, we need something beside the multitude of in- The Deerfield stands wildly cheer before realizing th at they couldn't can pineapple. effectual and overlapping committees.
