Spring has again arrived on campus and it has brought with it its yearly signal of change. As the new
season melts away the winter it seems to be a good time to think of some of the other changes that have
taken place at this institution over the years. There is much that has changed here. Alumni have only to
return to campus or to read about their alma mater to see ready evidence of it.

There has been physical change of course. But there are other differences less apparent - in beliefs
and philosophies and concepts and thoughts. Perhaps this is as it should be, for colleges and universities
have traditionally served as centers of new ideas.

And yet there is p ermanence here as well. It is reflected in the presence of Old Main and in the en-
during beauty of a Paul Sargent p ainting. Constancy too can be found in the principles of earlier days at
this university which guide us still, and the sterling concept of transmitting knowledge to new gener-
ations remains as unchanged and as valid now as at any time in this school's history.

Belying on three seniors and a

the toughest competition and played

Eastern responded with wins over

facility best suited as a county jail,
an analysis of white collar crime as
contrasted with blue collar crime,
and an investigation of how people
perceive the role of the public de-
fender in contemporary American
justice. "We felt the Chautauqua to
be an ideal way for people who have
accumulated vast amounts of data
on these problems to relate that data
to the people who are most intimate-
ly concerned with those issues -
the lay public," said Jaenike.

The academic humanists involved
in the program will be drawn from
Eastem,the University of Illinois,
and other colleges and universities
in the state. Although modeled on
the original Chautauqua, the Coles
County program will be entirely lo-
cally created. No pre-packaged
events will be used. "The whole de-
sign and implementation of this is
being done by people right here in
Coles County," Jaenike explained.

Because the original Humanities
Council grant was to increase dialo-
gue between the humanists (sociolo-
gists, historians, political scientists,
etc.) , and the public, there will be
ari opportunity after each perform-
ance for those in attendance to voice
their opinions.

But the Chautauqua on its way to
Charleston will be far from a series
of drab debates and pedantic pre-
sentations. "We're going to use the
arts to present issues, and each per-
formance will contain talks, debates,
panels and the presentation and per·
fonnance of art works which clarify
a particular aspect of the theme
Equal Justice Under the Law," said
Jaenike.

In addition to the Chautauqua it-
self a number of special events are
being planned to add to the flavor
of the event and to keep the entire
concept much like those Chautau·
qcas that brought such famous names
as William Jennings Bryan and Billy
Sunday to Charleston 50 years ago.
