But what to do about graduating seniors? A college solves this by establishing a graduate school where persons who have learned what the college offered them in their undergraduate days can go on to apply this basic learning to a still higher education and to research. Rather than continuing to let those of you who feel able to "graduate”, that is to stand alone with self assurance in dealing with your femmeself, to drop out and disappear, I'm considering starting a graduate school for "senior" TVs. I visualize it as made up of submitted material (like its junior publication TVia,) but material of a more philosophical nature, more articles on experiences, insights, attitudes, etc. I would visualize (and request) articles that are so personal, so revealing, so down to earth, so inner thought kind of things that lots of them would come through anonymously.

I'm very much aware that in Senior TVia as in every other land there are certain unspoken rules, behaviors, expectations and taboos that one feels obliged to observe on pain of excommunication etc. This is all right because adherance to such expectations is what provides the glue of common interest in a common area and holds things together. But after a certain point in one's development one is in a position to do "research" into one's own insides, so to speak. It is difficult or im- possible to do this during one's less mature years—both chronologic- ally and in terms of TV-development. One has other problems to solve first. But when they are more or less under control, it is possible to be freed from the demands of time, emotion, conformity, fear of revelation etc. that they have made and able to apply some thought and energy to some inner insights.

This is the kind of thing I'd like to see in such a "Senior TVia." I think it would be enlightening to both the writer and the reader to really find out what goes on in our various heads. Improbable fiction is fun to write and to read-I love science fiction for example but real exploration of the frontiers of one's own and other people's minds is even more fascinating and educational. Expanding one's consciousness is much talked of nowadays, particularly in regard to the hallucinogenic drugs. Doubtless this is one way to do it-by simply so disturbing the biochemical balance of the brain that various sensory short circuits take place which may well be very unusual, interesting and sometimes even valuable. Some people are so uptight about their real selves that they can only be pried loose from their fixations, and protections by some sort of chemical disturbance. This is, of course, the basis for various psychiatric techniques such as in- sulin and electro shock therapy. These people would not be able to "reach themselves" and so would not likely contribute to this pro-
