Shue Reads Riot ActTo Freshman Upstarts

As a result of the freshman riot Sunday night, the StudentCouncil in special session Monday morning, pasned a recom-mendation to the Executive Committee of the faculty statingthat any future rioting be automatically followed by a cancella-tion of all cut privilidges of the entire freshman class. ThisThis would include classes, student assemblies and chapels, andVespers.

The Student Council furtherrecommended that the penaltyfor any cutting of these activi-ties after such action has beentaken be the same as for over-cutting—i.e., cimpusing or lossof quality points of the indivi-dual student. Judgment as towhat constitutes a riot wouldbemade by the Student Council.

The riot occurred Sundaynight,September 11,en thelawnin front of Belli Dormitory forapproximately thirty minutes"Her 11:15. Belk dormitory it-self was not entered and nodamage resulted.

President of the Student(ouncil, Henry Shue, had re-quested in his address to thefreshman class. Saturday, Sep-tember 9. that "this, the Claaaof 1964, be the class to set aprecedent of no rioting, thatmay result in damage to prop-arty and injury to persons.

Shu« eemimnted that 'thisaction is beinfl taken in theinterest of the students, tomake unnecessary any facul-ty intervention intoan area ofstudant affairs that studentscan and should handle tham-salves, and because the coun-cil <eelf that its action wouldperhapsbe more lanient than

that of the faculty, should It |be forced to taka any action.'The Executive Commit',ht Faculty in mcetint Wed- 1

nesday afternoon. September,H declined to commit ttaeU »advance to pi specific act.on

to be taken against a *»*irdividual student, but it deli-

issued the following statement:"The Executive Committee is

opposed to student riots as amatter of principle and willgive serious consideration tothe recommendation of theStudent Council concerning anystudent or group of students in-volved in a riot. The Commit-tee will not hesitate te restrictcut privileges or to imposeheavier penalties If the situa-tion should warrant it."

Administration,CouncilRap Student Misconduct

By: TOM COLVINDavidson Assistant Editor

The administration and facul-ty, and the Student Council inseparate action took steps tocurb misconduct in chapel andin ve.spirs. The action by thetwo yroups climaxed discus*iin whic'i began last spring

i're-ident I) (Jrier Martin inhis address to the i-tudent body'Thursday morning announcedthe new policy regarding chap<!. and a mimeographed sheetNH distributed to all studentsexplaining thT\ new rules.

ALTERED SCHEDULEThe chapel schedule has been

altered, with Monday. Tuesdayand Thursday designated as

moiy days. The rcsponsibility of securing speakers andprograms for the Monday as-semblies was assigned to theStudent Council. The Tuesdayhssembly was designated fornon-religious programs and theThursday chapel was set asidefar religious programs.

In another new policy,students not in their assignedfits by 18:20 will be consider-to absent and tardics have beenabolished. To compensatt farthe discontinuance of all tard-ivs. free cuts in chapel will beincreased to oiyht for freshmenond sophomores and to 12 forjuniors and seniors.

BEHAVIOR RULESThe new rules announced by

Dr. Martin ilao atate thaistudents whose behavior inter

v.ith a chapel ppwill be subject to disciplinary

up to and including re-quiriti withdrawal iron tbcollege.

There will be no announcements made at chapel with theexception of emergency an-nouncements approved by thepresident. Instead, mimeograph-ed sheets containing announce-ments will be distributed at thedoors of the auditorium follow-ing the Monday and Thursday.i-seinblies.

He said that the new policyis the product of a long periodol discussion.

TRUSTEE RESOLUTIONLast May the Trustees adop-

ted a resolution stating theirstand on required assemblies:

". . . the Trustees have re-affirmed their conviction thatrequired religious exercises area vital and necessary part of theprogram of Davidson as a Chris-tian college, and that we ex-pect the full cooperation of theadministration, faculty and stu-dents in making this programeffective. This recommendationenvisions the taking of any disciplinary measures which mayhe necessary to see that stu-dent behavior at prescribed re-Hgfrrnta services is in keepingwith proper standards of cour-teous and orderliness at alltimes.

"This applies also to studentbehavior at other prescribed

sea not of a religious na-ture."

In an interview wilii theDAVIDSONIAN. President Mar-tin said. "I have thought aboutthis problem more than anyother because I am so shamedof what some people have had"

i..it up with."

The modifiedchapel schedulewas adopted last spring shortlyafter the meeting *>i Hie Trustees hy the Religious Ufa CMmittee. Other parts of the newpolicy were developed duringthe summer Dr. Martin said

The recommendations for thenew policy were presented atthe faculty meetinn Monday andwere approved.

NO OBJECTIONPresident Martin added that

he has no objection to otherpersons holding different viewson compulsory exercises. How-ever, he said that he would notdefend anyone guilty of mis-conduct because the new policy jwas approved by the proper an,thorities.

The Student Council in actionMonday voted to enforce a poli-cy desisned to halt misconductin vespers. Beginning this Sun-day, members of the StudentCouncil will report any act ofmisconduct in vespers whichcomes under their observationcouncil president Henry Shuesaid. Student Council memberswill sit in the back or the!church and in the balcony dur

'ing vespers sen

Shue pointed out th;.l thecouncil action was unrelatedto the lacultx action of the;

sann- day. He said licit Inatspring the council agreed U\

take "positive action" in 1 1to misconduct in vespers Thecouncil bMf spring was unwill-

accept the reaponsibilit)ol conduct in chapel, however.Shue noted that tbe EacoH) BCtion pertained tpecifically tochapel conduct, leaving \conduct in the liamN ol thecouncil.

Shue said that the council ac-tion implemented the decisionit made last spring.

KEEP SELF-GOVERNMENT"We feel it important that

students maintain sell governnienl in this area." Shue said"We don't want to force the faculty to step in because <>i ourholding back."

Shue added that the council'took the action because it thinks imisconduct at vespers is un-necessary. He said that thecouncil defined misconduct asi"anything disturbing or dia-courteous to any other personor the speaker."

Shue said that the councilwas putting its action into lorce ,immediately, before the prob-lem of misconductcould get outef hand.

"We don't like the idea of;being policemen and find thewhole thing unpleasant,' Shut-caid.

A Firm Man At The Wheel

IPresident Martin's Thursday chapelilk was, we believe,a hearteningone-and perhaps a good omen.The President first revealed his

incern about what has long been aanger at Davidson: the tendency ofie college to fatten on its own ego."It seems to me," said Dr. Martin,

that what might be called a superi-rity complex is the most danger-

ous thing facing this college in thejust ahead."

*We agree And we believe that rec-ognizing that danger so forthrightlyis the first big step toward eliminat-ing the hazard of an overweeningself-satisfaction on the part of this col-lege

The president's remarks regardingvespers and chapel conduct — and hisannouncement of the new facultyregulations concerning chapel — wealso heard withpleasure, for Dr. Mar-tin showed on the behalf of the fac-ulty and administration a new will-ingness to take a firm stand: to lead

We are not strong believers in re-quired religious services, nor do wefeel with the trustees that vespers at

Davidson can be called "vital" in thelife of the college now.

But we believe that if ever somebetter alternative to required religion

at Davidson is found, it will not berebellion and student discourtesy

which we may think.We like Dr. Martin's firmnessWe like the hint— implicit in his

Thursday talk— that the time for merebrow-furrowing is over, that somereally creative thinking has begun.

At Davidson College,often labelleda 'paternal" institution, the collegefathers have too long been Autocratsof the Breakfast Table.

Now, with Dr. Martin in the presi-dent's chair and an alert, concernedfaculty, perhaps their role is chang-ing.

We hope so. —E.S.D.

An Appetizing InnovationFrancis Bacon wrote several hund-

red years ago. "somebooks are to betasted, others to be swallowed, andsome few to be chewed and digest-ed. . ."

In the past. Davidson has survivedoh a meager menu of books availablethrough the student store. This year,we moved from the snack bar to therestaurant status when the collegeunion opened its enlarged and re-located book store

The present book store is the fruitof the prolonged labors of severalstudents, and members of the facultyand administration. The philosophyof the book store has changed fromone of profit to one of service. Unionofficials have said that profits from

the store will be returned to the stu-

dents through reduced prices onbooks.

The DAVIDSONIAN commentsTom Covington for his untiring effortinopening and running the store. Weshould also like to recognize CharlesRinge and C. Shaw Smith, whothrough their positions of leadershipinunion affairs have helped make thebook store possible To the administ-ration, which has assumed the fi-nancial responsibilities of the store,

goes a special word of commendation.With this step, Davidson has movedforward in offering the best for itsstudents. — T.B.C.

Gone Are the DaysAnother tradition bit the dust last

weekThe freshman riot, named so be-

cause the blame for riots was alwayslaid on the freshmen, has beenshelved in the interest of safety andthe buckling tile on the first floor of

The old riots were always fun,— anaggressive, hard-nosed, ego-foolingway to blow off steam. But with theage of organization and specializationat hand, the riots were getting a littleout of hand. When last year's coollyefficient Class of '63 manned the elec-trical panel and doused the entirecampus in darkness (and disrupted areception for a prominent painter inPresident Martin's home) the turningpoint had been reached.

The Student Council and the Fac-ulty Executive Committee mean busi-ness. They are not. as some freshmenhave theorized, simply daring theclass to organize and show some spir-it. They have set down the law andtheyhave the guns to enforce it.

But what about thesophomores whoare certain to taunt the Class of '64with allegations of effeminancy andcowardice? The recommendation ofthe council mentions only freshmenspecifically This is only natural, forthe freshmen are traditionallyregard-ed as the aggressors in any sort of al-

tercation between the classes The ex-ecutive committee takes a broaderview In the statement issued by DeanBailey, we find that "any student orgroup of students" may be punishedfor violating the new riot act. Thismust include sophomores, juniors andseniors as well as freshmen.

Who knows? Before long, we mayhave the rather charming situationwhere a freshman turns an upper-

olassman in for a violation of regulat-

ions.

Memo to IFCDespite the good intention of the

Inteefraternity Council, the "gentle-man's agreement' regarding dor-mitory rushing this year was a failure.

Member of all fraternities over-stayed their allowed 15-minute roomvisitation time. The result: hardfeelings on fraternity court and ahost of freshmen weary' of small talk.

We suggest that next year the IFChave more than a mere agreementamong fraternity members; that thecouncil devise some way of enforcingthe 15-minute visiting regulation.

Frshman complain about the fre-quency and lenth of dorm visits indi-cates that dorm rushing-if over done--may be a hindrance rather than ahelp —

ii <|" Bra"*

The Oavid^nian nvlted Prt.ident Martin to initiate k.Editor'. Guest column for the 196041 school term. Throughout

the year this .pace will contain the thought, of var.ou, m*r

-me connected with the college .nd tome not, on various sub-

ject.. Anyone wishing to writ, himself or to »u,g~t a column,*

should contact the editor.Included in thLs year's student body of 965 men are

>55 freshmen who were selected from almost 1 0,0

apphcantsnof a quality superior to any group we have

had in the past This means that Davidsons Class sf?964 "s probably equal or superior to the freshman classof anv other men's college in the South, both inacademic ability and in the qualities of leadership andparticipation which we require.

The desire of so many outstanding young men tnattend Davidson is a tribute to the college and to thereco" of its alumni, faculty, and1 students. This

'_goo.i

will" is one of the greatestassets the co egehas and thrstudents who arc attracted by ft wi 1 through the,:records, contribute to the reputation of the college amito the continued and increased success of the institution

The process of achieving this highly desirableresult has necessitated our declining the applicat-ions of more than 500 boys, many of whom werecapable of doing satisfactory academic work atDavidson. The decision to reject an application is ofcourse a very serious matter.The Admissions Committee spends a great deal of

time and effort in trying to make decisions which will bebest for the students"involved and best for the entire program of the college. The "standards" for admission toDavidson have improved each year, not because of actionsby the Administrations Committee, but by the competition for admission on the part of an increasing numbrrof better qualified candidates.

Since Davidson is an educational institution it isappropriate that the applicant's academic qualificationsbe given first consideration. But College Board scoresand highschool grades are by no means the only requhvments for admission. The committee gives considerration to other evidence of the students capacity tocontribute to the life of the college,including character,persinality. and participation and leadership in studentgovernment, athletics, music, art. journalism, debating,scouting, church organizations and similar activitiesForty applicants with verbal College Board scores over600 and 75 applicants with mathematics scores of over600 were rejected because they did not have otherdesired qualifications

Special consideration is given to applicants who are

sons of alumni or candidates for the ministry, andthey will be admitted before other candidates withsimilar abilities and records. In spite of this we findit necessary to decline a number of these applicantseach year when their qualifications are markedlybelow those of other applicants.While the tide of applicants has created many prob

leros for the college and for the applicants and theirfamilies, it has strengthened the institution by makingpossible a student body which is more interested andbetterprepared for college work. Thi6 has enabled us temaintain higher standards of academic performance andhas made possible tremendous reduction in the numberof "flunk outs. '

For example, 245 students from last year's freshmanclass returned as sophomores this year. In addition, theprogram has helped to assure the admission to graduateschools of practically all of the increasing number ofDavidson students who wish to take some kind of grad-uate work. The high quality of the student body is oneof the most effective arguments we have in trying topersuade promising teachers to join our faculty.

We are adding personneland facilities to improve thehandling of the admissions program which has becomemore and more complex each year. We will be gratefulfor your assistance and your understanding.

Students ApplaudNew Chapel Policy

The majority of Davidson stu-dents will fall in willingly be-hind the college's new vespersand chapel policy, according tothe consensus of random per-sons questioned by the Davidkonian this week.

President D. Grier Martin'stalk in chapel Thursday evokedinew administration for his lead-ership and program. However,many still have grave doubts ■

of the success he will meet. Allthose interviewed doubted theproblam would be solved im- 1

mediately and felt it would bea matter of just how far theadministrationplans to go.

OVER AMBITIOUS,"If they intend to stop even

reading of mail, books and pap-1en, they will need 962 moni- jtors," one commented. "It's aworthy goal, but over ambiti-ous," another said.

"The majority of studentshave been embarrassed by theconduct and are grateful Mar-tin is taking this stand," saidScott Lacy. "I believe just aminority causes most of thetrouble anyway."

STUDENT CONTROLThe manner of carrying out

the new position remains theissue of greatest concern. Those

'interviewed felt the correctionand discipline should remain inthe hands of the student body. 1Over half, however, felt the <faculty would eventually haveIto intervene.

Student supervision was pre-ferred for several different rea- 1sons. First, they see this as astudent problem and one which

'

students themselves can handK*Secondly, it is believed facultyor trustee action would causedeep resentment and rebellionFinally there is a fear the fat-uity would go overboard anJcarry the new policy to the «-xtreme.

Aldcn Millar spoke for manyin saying the root of the prohlem is in programs themselvi-"No solution will be completeuntil they arc improved," hecontends. Others maintainedthat no threat or action couldaccomplish what superior pr<>grams could achieve singularly

GREAT CHALLENGEStudent Council President

Henry Shue regards the studentassembly programs as one atthe greatest challenges the campus government will face thi*year.He is optimistic thatabundant resources are available Inthe student body itself to pmvide stimulating programs.

"To me personally," he said,"one of the most optimistic-things is whatunderlies this action— a new and unified singlfness of purpose among facultyand administration in workingto put life in some areas of college life which have had decreasing meaningfulness in re-cent years.

"Although some of the measures may seem harsh, at thispoint it is more effective totake sweeping positive stepsthan to move with hesitationWhether they admit it or not,the vast majority of student.,will hare greater respect forthe faculty, administration ana1Student Council "

The Book StoreDavidson CollegeDavidson, N.C.

To: Members of the Freshman ClassDear Freshmen:

We of the Davidson College Book Store would like to acquaint you with theopportunities afforded by our little non-profit enterprise.

Our aim is to provide textbooks to all students, regardless of their financial condition. Since we arc the only people around here who sell textbooks, we can usuallymeet our goal.

You will readily understand that all wholesale book prices must undergo a slightmark-up to defray minor operating costs which include paper clips, redecorating theAlumni Reception Room, and $75,000 annual contribution to the Living Endow-ment. The manager of the book store generously works without pay, since over theyears, he has amassed a large personal fortune.

DEPTH CAP

Five Losses CrippleCross-Country Power

By AU3REY LANCASTER,Davidsonian Sports Writer

One dark cloud hangs over an otherwise bright viewas the 1930 version of the Davidson cross-country teamworks towards its opening meet with Pembroke Collegeon September 30.

That dark cloud emerges withthe the possibility that Bill Eck-bert, who paced the 1959 teamand ran third in the conferencemeet, may be forced to trans-fer from Davidson. This blowto the Wildcats, who graduatedonly two men from a 1959 teamthat wbn 9 while losing only 2*.willcertainly be felt.

Coach Heath Whittle lostLarry McNeill and CharleyBridges by graduation, whileMac Brownlee and Bill Coffey are not returning to Da-vidson this year.The loss of Eckbert would

leave Captain Bob Thompson,Dave Gilmour, and Tom Mar-tin as the principal returneesfrom last year. Gilmour placedninth in the conference meetlast year and was consistentlyamong the top runners in Da-vidson's meets.

Coach Whittle is also count-ing heavily on aid from those

being promoted from last yaer'soutstanding freshman team.These include Sterling Martin,Larry Lcafcr, Bob Leslie, TomWright, and Bob Scales.

The forthcoming FreshmanCake Race will at in pastyean provide a talent showfor Hi* freshman cross-coun-try team. In addition, thisyear's freshman team will bebolstered by three outstand-ing; exchange students whoare ineligible for varsityparticipation.After facing Pembroke Col-

lege here in their opener, theWildcat cross-country team willthen journey to Winston SalemAo face the Wake Forest team"n October 5. The 'Cats will bepointing to their November 2meet with conference championV.M.I, and then the conferencemeet at Williamsburg on No-vember 21.

the matter is, they needed something for entertainment,found the band a little sciinpy in numbers for marching,decided Charlotte could stand a bitof soccer for a change.Soccer man Joe Kelly (a Charlotteanl suggested it toCoach Marrotte. who leaped at the idea.

Trustees Act Quickly In CrisisNO REFLECTION is meant to be cast on Davidson or

Davidsonians by this funny passed on from Bob Quincyof TheCharlotte News. Quincy was reminded of the foot-ball coach who was givena lifetime contract. He won fortwo years, then had a losing season. That December theBoard of Trustees met, had him declared officially deadand hired a new mentor to run their show.

MY NOMINATION for the quote of the year, stem-ming from a new conference substitution rule for foot-ball, allowing eight changes per game. Bill Dole said it:"The new substitution rule is a God-send and we'll uti-lize it to the Nth degree."

AND DOCTOR Charlie Driesell has put up a shingle.On his office door it says "Basketball Coach." It's writ-ten on a projecting piece of wood, looks good.

SPEAKING OF Driesell. a super-enthusiast on basket-ball, he couldn't wait for the season to get started. Asresult, Davidson cagers lifted weights this spring.

Cold War Lukewarm?COACH CHARLIE Parker, who spent a week this

summer in Oklahoma observing the Olympic trials as amember of the Olympic wrestling committee and theNCAA rules committee, notes one area in which Russiaand America do not lock horns— wrestling. The twocountries entered separate wrestling divisions at Rome.Russia took five gold medals in the Greco-Roman divi-sion (an Eastern type of wrestling which bans the use oflegs) while the United States came home with three goldmedals in the type of wrestling we know. Both enteredtoken crews in each other's division.

PARKER HIMSELF looks quite the part of a GoldenGreek these days, sporting a deep-set suntan.

DAVIDSON'S soccer team is awaiting the ar-rival of a German lad who participated in the RomeOlympics An exchange student, he was one of 300 Ger-man youths sent by his government towatch the interna-ional tussle — not to kick. Incidentally, Davidson'soreign student total is unusually high this year— 16.

Miss Carrie Lanier Brittainhas replaced Mrs. Nancy Davis,who resigned last spring to ac-company her husband to Flori-da. Miss Brittain comes fromDavis and Elkins College inWest Virginia. She holds a pro-fessional library degree fromthe University of North Caro-lina and a masters degree inEnglish from the University ofWest Virginia. Dr. Davidsonmaintains that she is thus thebest qualified staff member thatthe library has ever employedin respect to reference assist-ance.

A new reserve book readingroom has been set up in the oldmodern fiction reading roomon the second floor. The re-

■I Neem book system isexperimental this year.

Tho new system works asfollows: Members of the faculty-will designate reserve books as

"open" or "closed" books. Openbooks may be taken from theshelves in the reading roomwithout being checked out.However, the student must usethe book in the reading roomand is not allowed to take itto other parts of the library.Closed books must be checkedout by the librarian on dutyin the reserve book readingroom. The student is also re-quired to use these books in thesame room.

Dr. Davidson said. "The newsystem, and the structuralchanges that go along with it.arc experimental We hope thatit will solve the problem ofavailability of reserve books."

He said that a major nuMOfor the change is that in thepast, students have kept re-serve books out of circulationfor an unreasonable length oftime.
