WHAT'S IN A NAME? Surprised to hear us referred to as the "Student
Board of Studies in Politics"? Guess what! None of us are Government majors any longer, we've been abolished. We are all hereby
(fanfare) POLITICS MAJORS (actually it isn't official until Fall
1969, but we might as well practice using our new designation.)
The Government Board of Studies has been contemplating a name change
for over a year now and it has finally come to pass (additional
fanfare). The board will soon be known by one and all as the Board
of Studies in Politics.
Personally, we are delighted. After all, "Politics" comes much
closer to encompassing the political dynamics of today which includes much more than just "government." Government always tended
to remind us of the eighth grade government teacher who used to
make us all recite the Preamble to the Constitution in 2/4 time.
But it was man, not parrots, that Aristotle referred to as the
"political animal." So let us not praise the "Government Major,"
just bury it. - Editors
