Huber emphasizes 'reaching out' role "Our role as teachers is to really break through the system until we have so:nehow reached you--touched you in some way--to make you ask questions, explore and find answers,~ said Dr. Frederick R. Huber, Palomarpresident, in his address to the student body September 14. The annual President's Convocation, presented at the beginning of each school year, marks the beginning of Dr. Huber's tenth year as Palomar president. "One of the important roles of an institution of higher education is to indicate some directions," stated Huber. "Our role becomes increasingly difficult because we find ourselves coupled with the bureaucratic system." Power, revolution, and the humanistic challenge of the Seventies must be faced by the student, continued Dr. Huber. "What we are seeing in Watergate, racism, pollution, poverty, and hunger is the iceberg. Our whole society is the iceberg submerged . The real danger lies in all of us." Quoting Dr. Rollo May, author of "Love and Will, Man's Search for Himself" and "Power and Innocence," Huber emphasized , "There are already signs of a new morality. Our concern for authenticity, our queries about the quality-not the quantity- -of love, and our questioning of the sheer value of mere work point toward a new morality." "We shall have to stand against the apathy that is overwhelming us," stressed Huber. "This is also a symptom of a transitional and an anxious age. We will have also to stand against conformism and it will be hard work. " Huber believes most problems are ?aused by obsolete institutions, "but we cannot afford to be obsolete. The prescribed procedure of education is available here. You don't have to take it, but it's available." "We must face the humanistic challenge of the Seventies , " said Huber.
