Fresher!

Dear Sir,—At this time of year we see young people fresh from school beginning to integrate into university life. They are starting to develop a maturity only university students can have. One stage of this development Is often an abnormal interest in sex, beer, legalistic religions or Beatnickism. These are to be passed through quickly by recognising them as signs of immaturity—of a search for individuality, of a desire to belong by conforming to a certain system of behaviour. Please may this be commended to freshers for consideration. They want to accepted by their contemporaries but may they not violate their own natures by adopting an artificial behaviour pattern which soon becomes a habit closing them from further development.
