Satisfying human relationships can make a big difference be- tween success and failure in col- lege. Whether it's a roommate, a professor, your family, or friends, you want to get along well with them. We are learning a lot about this through our study of the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. You can, too.

Are we, as responsible adults with the ability to make decisions and judge how we should live, are we to be denied this basic privilege? The answer is apparently yes. In an age which is growing ever more aware of the value of the younger generation, of education as a tool which may be used for peace and tolerance, Bates is woefully short- sighted and closeminded.
