LOUISA'S LETTER J g-

Dear Louisa, I am a freshman in my first year of college and I am very confused. I come from a family that has always been interested in church and civic affairs. We believein morality and honesty and things like that. But since I have been here I have heard some of the girls talk and the things they say they have done are shocking to me. One of them called me a square a few days ago and I told her that if a square meant a person who was decent and believed in living as a Christian should I was glad I was a square. What should I do. lower standards or lose some of my friends. Soph. — Va. Answer: W’e should never lower our standards because of what other people do or think. If the girls you have been associating with really act as they talk I think you should try to find other friends'but some girls think it is smart to say such things and are not as bad as they seem. There are probably others in your group who feel as you do but haven't the courage to say so. However, as the old sayings go, “birds of a feather flock together” and people are known by the company they keep, so if I were you, I would not go around with a “holier than thou" attitude

but I would not do anything that I thought was not right or which my conscience let me know was wrong. I know it is hard not to be influenced by older girls or those who seem so sophisticated but people always pay for the rules they break in one way or another. Louisa. Address your letter to: Louisa, P.O. Box 532, Orangeburg, SC 29115.
