we should play. But the NIT does not have the prestige of the NCAA Tournament." Finally Johnston said that he did not believe Davidson should be permitted to enter the NIT when other Southern Conference teams have been turned down in the past by the conference. Johnston cited the Furman team of the mid 50s as a prece- dent for the committee's deci- sion. That was the season of the great Frank Selvy, and Furman received a bid to exhibit its star in the NIT. The conference's ex- ecutive committee turned down Furman's request to play. "You must realize, too. that the NIT did not even invite the runner up in the conference this year. George Washington." Johnston added. Commissioner Jordan explain- ed from his office in Richmond that the executive committee was merely interpreting a by- law of the conference which states that a member may play in the conference tournament, the NCAA tournament, or the Olympic playoffs. "The Commissioner's office was authorized to inform you that a motion was made and ap proved by the executive com- mittee that it was not in the best interests of the Southern Con- ference for Davidson College to participate in the NIT," he said. Jordan said that any member of the conference might move to amend the bylaws so that par- ticipation in the NIT would be allowed. He explained that it was a complicated procedure, but one which would be quite possiblein the future. Jordan refused to explain the ways in which the conference benefitedDavidson. His only an: swer was. "I was a coach for a good many years. I always took my losses." Candidate Preyer Plans College Visit Gubernatorial hopeful L. Richardson Preyer will be on campus Wednesday morning from 730 to t:1S at an in- formal coffee hour In the Union. Preyer, who is a member of the Board of Visitors, seek* the Democratic nomination. His visit is sponsored by the Young Democrats Club, which hopes to bring all the Demo- cratic candidates to campus before the primary. The IFC spring concert weekend kicks off tomorrow afternoon in a rather mild departure from previous func- tions with a double-barreled program in Chambers Audi- torium, featuring Oscar Brown and the Brandywine Singers. Brown is rememberedby most Davidsonians for his successful concert in the fall of 1962. He is recognized as one of the better actor-singers in the folk-music field today, because of his dif- ferent characterizations to fit his original songs. Most reviews describe his songs as "electrifying." and Brown himself refers to his lyr- ics as "verses about feelings I've felt and scenes I've dug." The Singers, five of them, orig inated at the University of New Hampshire and are rising fast on the concert circuit. IFC presi- dent Haynes Kelly reports that on a recent meeting of 30 col- lege representatives, the Bran- dywines were booked through the end of this year. Knc.vr. for their "button-down singing," they always put much preparation and research into their performances. Never theless. folk music is their busi- ness and that is what they sing. In preferring two lesser-known attractions in an afternoon se- sion for $3000 rather than a big name "bomb." Kelly has opti mistically referred to this as one of the IFC's better "darkhorse" weekends. The concert begins at 2 in Chambers. The two may follow each other or alternate during the three-hour, two-intermission performance. For those with other prefer- ences, the campus is full of other activities for the weekend. French Week ends at Davidson tonight with the performance of "The Lark", by the French na- tional touring company. Stu- dents from many high schools and colleges in the area will be on campus for the play. For the more avid fans, the Southern Conference Wrestling Tournament began this after- noon in Johnston Gymnasium. It will end tomorrow night. Also, the college administra- tion is courting its scholarship finalists on campus for the week- end. Most of the high-schoolers arrived yesterday and will have the entire weekend to evaluate the college propaganda. At any rate, review-worn Da- vidson students are facing one of the college's more varied spring weekends. CANDIDATES MUST FILE Revamping Expedites Elections Student Body President John Spratt said this week that he and Honor Court Chairman Howard Arbuckle would formally request the Executive Committee of the Faculty to reconsider campusing as a punishment. Spratt said. "Our plans to make the request were precipi tated by the recent campusing for the remainder of the year of a Kappa Sigma senior. Arbuckle and I plan to write a formal re quest to the Executive Commit tee asking them to reconsider the entire matter of campusing and to review their whole pol icy of meting out punishment." Spratt said that he and Ar buckle had already discussed some substitute punishments and some ways to modify the pen;il ty of requiring students to re main within the town limits of Davidson for a specified period of time. "We are going to meet again to select more alternate penal- ties to campusing," Spratl said. "We have already de- cided to suggest that, instead ol campusing students who overcut chapel or vespers, the punishment be changed so that those who overcut will lose a certain portion of their cuts the next semester." "Of course, if a senior over cuts the second semester, then campusing may be the only al- ternative for him. "Another concrete proposal that we have decided to make is that if a student breaks cam- pus and confesses immediately, then he be only campused 30 more days from the time he broke campus, rather than being campused for another month after his first month of campus ing runs out. "What we are trying to do," Spratt continued, "is to devise punishments more applicable to the offenses and to make penal ties more constructive. We be lieve punishments should have more than just a negative cle- ment." Spratt said that he and Ar buckle would also ask the Dean of Students to confer with the Student Council President and the Honor Court Chairman be- fore students are formally tried by the Executive Committee for disciplinary matters. "If this Is done," Spratt said, "then we can consult with him and register student opin- ion with the committee be- fore they meet." Spratt pointed out that he us u.illy did not know what action was taken on students until after they had been tried and pun ished. "Then, it is too late for me to help them much." Spratt noted. "If I can register student opin- ion before the committee meets, then I can try to make sure that punishments arc not too exces sive." The case o( the Kappa Sig sen- ior illustrates perfectly Spratt's statement. He was surprised by a campus policeman in his fra- ternity house on Saturday morn- ing of Midwinters breaking the five o'clock curfew. He and his date were behind a closed, lock ed door in the basement with the lights out. A University of Vir gini.i medical student and his date were also in the room. The senior was later tried by the Executive Committee under the catch-all clause, "Conduct unbecoming a Da- vidson Gentleman." He was charged with and convicted of breaking curfew, being behind a locked door with his date, and giving falseinformation(a false name) to the security po- liceman who caught him. He was campused for the re mjiinder of his college career. The usual penalty for breaking curfew is a $25 fine from the IFC. The senior also paid this fine. The Kappa Sigma fraternity was iilso punished for the actions of members in the house. On both nights of the weekend, members were caught breaking curfew. It was the third straight Midwinters that the Kappa Sigs violated rules during the week end. The fraternity has been put on both Social and General Pro bation for the remainder of the year. Social probation include-- the following prohibitions: no date in the house, no social functions, and no group of more than five Kappa Signs may attend any parties or other such social af fair's. General Probationmeans that the fraternity must not break any of the college rules concern ing fraternities. It also means that if any of the provisions of their Social Probation are vio lated the fraternity can be punished "up to and including the loss of rushing and pledging Jazz Combo Gives Us Second Concert The Contemporary Jazz Trio. playing I program of all new music in the modern jazz vein, will give its second concert of the year Friday evening, March 13.at 8:15 at Hudson Hall. The group, which includes Sid- ney Farrar on piano. Stanley Kerr on bass, and Dave Hoag on drums, has been playing logeth- er since the first of the school year and has performed various parties and programs over the past months. Since their first concert in the Morrison room of the Union the group has graduated to the l.i cilities of the Cunningham Fine Arts building and has broadened its program to include the music of Henry Mancini, Theionius Monk, Duke Ellington. Johnny Williams, and originals by the group. There will be no admission charge. privileges for the next year." according to Bob Young. As- sistant Dean of Students. Both Spratt and Arbuckle feel that the punishment given to the Kappa Slg Is too harsh for the offense committed. They have already written a letter to the Executive Com- mittee stating this fact: "We believe that the punishment ex- ceeds the offense, that it is an undue restriction," It says. The letter also suggests that the senior be released from the campusing restriction at mid semester, if his grades reach the average that the college feels ho should have. Dean Richard C. Burls said that the committee would take action on Spratt's let ter at its next meeting and would also consider the new pro pos.ils that Spratt will request "I cannot say when the next meeting willbe. however," Burts said. "The committee only meets on call: we do not have regularly scheduled meetings " Spratt said that he thought the punishment of the Kappa Sigma fraternity was also out of line with the offense committed. "I think that only General Proba tion would be perhaps more re fllistic."he said. Spratt said that he had talked to one member of the Executive Committee and that he felt that there may be a chance that the fraternity will be released from its restrictions after spring vacation. "I just have a feeling that there may be a chance, but I really have little to base it on." Spratt cited two other cases this year that he felt were handled unjustly by t..e com- mittee. Both involved the breaking of campus and help- ed form the basis of one of Spratt's intended requests for changing of the penalty. "Bill Council and Decker Faw broke campus unintentionally and were both campused for thirty additional days, even though they confessed immedi- ately and stated the circum stances." Spratt said. "Faw went to teach Sunday School in Barium Springs and suddenly realized after he had gotten out of town what he had done. Council went to Moores ville to play tennis with Dr. (James Y.) Causey, acceptine the invitation without remem boring that he should not have left town." Spratt said that he and Ar buckle objected to each of the campusing cases during Student Faculty Conference Committee meetings. "We also stated oral ly that we hoped the Executive Committee would review its en tire policy of campusing and made recommendations for changes. Since no action has been taken, we felt it necessary to write out specific proposals and present them formally to the Executive Committee.' Poison Pen Spatters Ink Dear Sir.

Johnston was one of the five members of the Southern Con ference Executive Committee who voted Tuesday on whether or not the Wildcats should play- in the tournament. The executive committee turn- ed down a request by the col- lege after an NIT invitation to let its team participate. The fi nal breakdown of who voted for or against participation was not released: however Athletic Di- rector Tom Scott said that four of the five members of the com- mittee would have to approve. The committee was polled by Conference Commissioner Lloyd P. Jordan on a telephone con ference hookup. Johnston gave four reasons fur his vote against participation in the NIT by the Wildcats. "At a former NCAA council member," said Johnston, "I know how II frowns upon par- ticipation by its member schools in the NIT. The NCAA guarantees the Southern Con- ference champion a place In Its tournament every year. I would not want the conference to do anything to jeopardize this treatment." Johnston gave as a second rea- son the fact that he did not want to antagonize other coaches who might not approve of David- son's playing in the NIT. The fact that the conference has a guaranteed place in the NCAA tournament aids their recruiting, he said. "I also do not believe partici- pation would be in the best in- terests Of Davidson College." Johnston said. "I realize that this is a personal viewpoint and that many here perhaps believe f \aur

Gubernatorial hopeful L.Richardson Preyer will be oncampus Wednesday morningfrom 730 to t:1S at an in-formal coffee hour In theUnion.

Preyer, who is a memberof the Board of Visitors, seek*the Democratic nomination.His visit is sponsored by theYoung Democrats Club, whichhopes to bring all the Demo-cratic candidates to campusbefore the primary.

The IFC spring concert weekend kicks off tomorrowafternoon in a rather mild departure from previous func-tions with a double-barreled program in Chambers Audi-torium, featuring Oscar Brown and the BrandywineSingers.

Brown is rememberedby mostDavidsonians for his successfulconcert in the fall of 1962. He isrecognized as one of the betteractor-singers in the folk-musicfield today, because of his dif-ferent characterizations to fithis original songs.

Most reviews describe hissongs as "electrifying." andBrown himself refers to his lyr-ics as "verses about feelingsI've felt and scenes I've dug."

The Singers, five of them, originated at the University of NewHampshire and are rising fast onthe concert circuit. IFC presi-dent Haynes Kelly reports thaton a recent meeting of 30 col-lege representatives, the Bran-dywines were booked throughthe end of this year.

Knc.vr. for their "button-downsinging," they always put muchpreparation and research intotheir performances. Nevertheless. folk music is their busi-ness and that is what they sing.

In preferring two lesser-knownattractions in an afternoon se-sion for $3000 rather than a bigname "bomb." Kelly has optimistically referred to this as one

of the IFC's better "darkhorse"weekends.

The concert begins at 2 inChambers. The two may followeach other or alternate duringthe three-hour, two-intermissionperformance.

For those with other prefer-ences, the campus is fullof otheractivities for the weekend.

French Week ends at Davidsontonight with the performance of"The Lark", by the French na-tional touring company. Stu-dents from many high schoolsand colleges in the area will beon campus for the play.

For the more avid fans, theSouthern Conference WrestlingTournament began this after-noon in Johnston Gymnasium.It will end tomorrow night.

Also, the college administra-tion is courting its scholarshipfinalists oncampus for the week-end. Most of the high-schoolersarrived yesterday and will havethe entire weekend to evaluatethe college propaganda.

At any rate, review-worn Da-vidson students are facing oneof the college's more variedspring weekends.

CANDIDATES MUST FILERevamping Expedites Elections

Student Body President John Spratt said this week that he and Honor CourtChairman Howard Arbuckle would formally request the Executive Committee ofthe Faculty to reconsider campusing as a punishment.

Spratt said. "Our plans tomake the request were precipitated by the recent campusingfor the remainder of the year ofa Kappa Sigma senior. Arbuckleand I plan to write a formal request to the ExecutiveCommittee asking them to reconsiderthe entire matter of campusingand to review their whole policy of meting out punishment."

Spratt said that he and Arbuckle had already discussedsome substitute punishmentsandsome ways to modify the pen;ilty of requiring students to remain within the town limits ofDavidson for a specified periodof time.

"We are going to meet againto select more alternate penal-ties to campusing," Spratlsaid. "We have already de-cided to suggest that, insteadol campusing students whoovercut chapel or vespers, thepunishment be changed so thatthose who overcut will lose acertain portion of their cutsthe next semester.""Of course, if a senior over

cuts the second semester, thencampusing may be the only al-ternative for him.

"Another concrete proposalthat we have decided to makeis that if a student breaks cam-pus and confesses immediately,then he be only campused 30more days from the time hebrokecampus, rather than beingcampused for another monthafter his first month of campusing runs out.

"What we are trying to do,"Spratt continued, "is to devisepunishments more applicable tothe offenses and to make penalties more constructive. We believe punishments should havemore than just a negative cle-ment."

Spratt said that he and Arbuckle would also ask the Deanof Students to confer with theStudent Council President andthe Honor Court Chairman be-fore students are formally triedby the Executive Committee fordisciplinary matters.

"If this Is done," Spratt said,"then we can consult withhim and register student opin-ion with the committee be-fore they meet."Spratt pointed out that he us

u.illy did not know what actionwas taken on students until afterthey had been tried and punished. "Then, it is too late forme to help them much." Sprattnoted.

"If Ican register student opin-ion before the committee meets,then Ican try to make sure thatpunishments arc not too excessive."

The case o( the Kappa Sig sen-ior illustrates perfectly Spratt'sstatement. He was surprised bya campus policeman in his fra-ternity house on Saturday morn-ing of Midwinters breaking the

five o'clock curfew. He and hisdate were behind a closed, lockeddoor in thebasement with thelights out. A University of Virgini.i medical student and hisdate were also in the room.

The senior was later triedby the Executive Committeeunder the catch-all clause,"Conduct unbecoming a Da-vidson Gentleman." He wascharged with and convicted ofbreaking curfew, being behinda locked door with his date,and giving falseinformation(afalse name) to the security po-liceman who caught him.He was campused for the re

mjiinder of his college career.The usual penalty for breakingcurfew is a $25 fine from theIFC. The senior also paid thisfine.

The Kappa Sigma fraternitywas iilso punished for the actionsof members in the house. Onboth nights of the weekend,members were caught breakingcurfew. It was the third straightMidwinters that the Kappa Sigsviolated rules during the weekend. The fraternity has been puton both Social and General Probation for the remainder of theyear.

Social probation include-- thefollowing prohibitions: no datein the house, no social functions,and no group of more than fiveKappa Signs may attend anyparties or other such social affair's.

General Probationmeans thatthe fraternity must not breakany of thecollege rulesconcerning fraternities. It also meansthat if any of the provisions oftheir Social Probation are violated the fraternity can bepunished "up to and includingthe loss of rushing and pledging

privileges for the next year."according to Bob Young. As-sistant Dean of Students.

Both Spratt and Arbucklefeel that the punishment givento the Kappa Slg Is too harshfor the offense committed.They have already written aletter to the Executive Com-mittee stating this fact: "Webelieve that the punishmentex-ceeds the offense, that it is anundue restriction," It says.The letter also suggests that

the senior be released from thecampusing restriction at midsemester, if his grades reach theaverage that the college feels hoshould have. Dean Richard C.Burls said that the committeewould take action on Spratt's letter at its next meeting andwould also consider the new propos.ils that Spratt will request"I cannot say when the next

meeting willbe. however," Burtssaid. "The committee onlymeets on call: we do not haveregularly scheduled meetings "

Spratt said that he thought thepunishment of the Kappa Sigmafraternity was also out of linewith the offense committed. "Ithink that only General Probation would be perhaps more refllistic."he said. Spratt said thathe had talked to one member ofthe Executive Committee andthat he felt that there may be achance that the fraternity willbe released from its restrictionsafter spring vacation. "I justhave a feeling that there maybe a chance, but Ireally havelittle to base it on."

Spratt cited two other casesthis year that he felt werehandled unjustly by t..e com-mittee. Both involved thebreaking of campus and help-ed form the basis of one ofSpratt's intended requests forchanging of the penalty."BillCouncil and Decker Faw

broke campus unintentionallyand were both campused forthirty additional days, eventhough they confessed immedi-ately and stated the circumstances." Spratt said.

"Faw went to teach SundaySchool in Barium Springs andsuddenly realized after he hadgotten out of town what he haddone. Council went to Mooresville to play tennis with Dr.(James Y.) Causey, acceptinethe invitation without rememboring that he should not haveleft town."

Spratt said that he and Arbuckle objected to each of thecampusing cases during StudentFaculty Conference Committeemeetings. "We also stated orally that we hoped the ExecutiveCommittee would review its entire policy of campusing andmade recommendations forchanges. Since no action hasbeen taken, we felt it necessaryto write out specific proposalsand present them formally tothe Executive Committee.'

Johnston was one of the fivemembers of the Southern Conference Executive Committeewho voted Tuesday on whetheror not the Wildcats should play-in the tournament.

The executive committee turn-ed down a request by the col-lege after an NIT invitation tolet its team participate. The final breakdown of who voted foror against participation was notreleased: however Athletic Di-rector Tom Scott said that fourof the five membersof thecom-mittee would have to approve.The committee was polled byConference CommissionerLloydP.

Johnston gave four reasonsfur his vote against participationin the NIT by the Wildcats.

This week we have seen evidencedan attitude we do not entirely under-stand. We've caught criticism fromtwo sources isame general direction)for broadcasting via a back-page head-line the fact that another atheist wascoming on campus this week.

Concern was expressedby both menover the "adverse publicity" the col-lege has received because of the con-troversial speakers issue, and we werechastised for havingadded to the "un-necessary headaches " of the adminis-trators involved.

The "unnecessary headaches" nodoubt consist of criticism of the calibreevidenced in force in the Charlottenewspapers immediately after atheistMichael Scriven's brief visit here.

The headache we understand, butthe consternation over publicizing thespeakers we do not understand. Theadministration of this college answersto no one except the Board ofTrustees, and two weeks ago theBoard voted unanimously to back theadministration's policy on invitingspeakers here.

With the only opinion that reallymatters officially on record as favor-

Headache Powderable toward an open-platform policy,why the consternation over criticismfrom the Outside?

Criticism is, to say the least,inevita-ble for any good academic institutionin this section of the country Again,inevitable,and we cannot see incoher-ent, fanatical attacks by fundamental-ists perturbing a college administra-tion.

Actually, we believe this type ofcriticism to be a healthy sign thatDavidson College is performing itsmission as an academic institution. Ifthe college were not offending funda-mentalist and other backward ele-ments. Davidson would have absolute-ly no claim to the title of an institu-tion of higher learning.

"Unnecessary" headaches? If head-aches are what it takes to establish anatmosphere conducive to genuineacademic pursuit at Davidson, thenthose headaches are necessary*.Evenif it means tellinga lot of peopleto take a powder because this schoolis committed to an open-platformpolicy on speakers.

BY DUNCAN D. NEWCOMER

Nineteen Negro high school students from the townof Davidson sauntered and shuffled onto the collegecampus last Monday night. Like us they wanted to im-prove their education. Like us they came in all sizes andstyles. Like us they vary in talents.

Out of the YMCA's first tutorial program came abundle of rich inter-personal relationships. Ask any tutor.Out of one particular session, Jay Federman's, came thefollowing essay. Considering that most of these highschool students are still learning that "capacity" canmean more than "how many people a bus will hold," thisessay is even more startling.

Its author is Guy Connor, 15. His dad and brotherwork in our laundry. We print this from the other sideof the tracks to inspire him, and them, and us.

Griffift Street, does this sound like any other streetyou've ever heard of? Well if it does it's a big mistakebecause it is a street of many wonders. It is a wide,plainblacktop road, on which something is happening everyminute of the day and most of the night. On each anilevery side there are homes which though very small,hold a different story of its own. Soits much like a circuswhere many different things aregoingon at once and whoknow what the next step on the midway will bring.

The infringements on libertyand personal freedom in privateaffairs contained in the civilrights legislation which \«. illcome before the Senate in thenext few weeks are questionedand opposedby many intelligentpeople in both the North and theSouth.

The Davidson Civil RightsCommittee, a very active andserious minded group, is pushingthis legislation by letters toWashington, petitions, and proposed freedom marches Manypeople feel obligated by their belief in civil rights to endorse theIH-nding legislation just becauseit is pro civil rights, withoutconsidering the effect that theprecedent set by this legislationcould have on the way of life(fading thought it may be) thatwe now enjoy. The power of thegovernment to meddle in ourprivate affairs would be greatlyextended by the bill BS ' MMstands.

Before giving evidence ofsupport of this legislation, oneshould investigate Just whathe Is supporting. Civil rightsmay be a worthy cause,but Itdoes not follow that all meth-ods used to bring It about aregood or necessary. Just asopposition to prohibition didnot mean that one was adrunkard, opposition to thiscivil rights legislation does notmean that one Is a racist.

ing professors. Dr. Tilly. Dr.Tucker, Dr. MacCormac, andProf. Gross, will be leaving Davidson. It is possible that none'of these men will return to teachat Davidson again. Their loss isupsetting because it representsa continuation of a pattern

I among our professors whichhas0 been developing for a number ofII years.

Each year my class has been1 at Davidson a number of our

younger professors have left thee school. Some were forced toif leavebecause theschool refuseds to renew its contract with them;i others left by choice. Let us re-

fresh our memories with thenames of a few of these men:Dr. Lord, Dr. Goodykoontz,Prof. Holland, Prof. Stroud, Dr.Tracas, Dr. Bevan. Dr. Staples,Dr. Labanov. Mr. Morton, Prof.Miller and Prof. Evans. (Al-though Mr. Morton and Dr. Stapies werenot professors, the cir-cumstances leading up to theirdeparture were similar to thoseor the professors listed. Dr. La-banov's record as a scholar inRussian history and his incred-ible knowledge of religion, music, literature and languagesmade his loss a tragedy in spite"t his age.)

Unfortunately these men wereamong the finest professors inour eves U students. We admired them for their youth andfor their probing, critical minds.It is inevitable that we had morein common with these profsssors. They were closer to ourgeneration and could understandthe problems we face as stu-dents Also their vitality madeclassroom discussions more interesting. Their excitement forMuriel was transmitted to students

It was inevitable that thesemen would voice criticisms ofour system of education. Theywere thinking individuals whowanted to see Davidson improveher educational system. Unfor-tunately, many were allowed toleave because of such criticism.

Davidson is developing a pattern of conformity among itsprofessors which raises a sen<m. question. The question is

whether we at Davidson wish tosacrifice the quality of our prolessors in order U> maintain ourpresent systems of thought. Byadapting such a policy we endanger the quesrfor truth whichevery good college seeks to instill in its students and prodnrs.

Conflict is the key to a goodeducation. Only by exposing our

convictions in Mill's "MarketI place of Ideas" can we profess

them with integrity. Such con-flict can also teach us to bemore tolerant of those who hold

1 different opinions with equalconviction.

This letter is a plea for toler-ance in dealing with professors

like those who are leaving nowand have left in the past. Weneed these men.

DCRC Fosters EqualityFor Charolotte Marchers

BY CALVIN ZON

Last October, a group of Davidson students, members of the faculty and towns-people formed the Davidson Civil Rights Committee, whose purpose, as stated in itsconstitution,is "to improve human relations and conditions in the Davidson communi-ty, and to eliminate racial prejudice and discrimination here and elsewhere."

Our chairman. Mrs. MaryJohnson, a housewife and life-long resident of Davidson, re-marked that the committee hasprovided the first opportunity inDavidson for meaningful com-munication between whites andNegroes. In the past, manythings weredone lor Negroesbutneverreally with them. It is ourhope that a patronizing, conde-scending relationship is givingway to a spirit of cooperationand community.

Most of the work of DCRC iscarried on by five committees,and each member generallyserves on a committee.Our Ec-onomic Opportunities Committee. chaired by Dr. E. F. Patterson, is attempting to find jobopenings for localNegroes. It isinitiating a comprehensive survey of opportunities connectedwith the college, and local busi-nesses and factories.

Our Integration at DavidsonCommittee is headed by PaxtonWray. This committee is working closely with the AdmissionsOffice in trying to enroll qualified American Neuroes. To thisend. students have visited "Negro" high schools and havehosted prospective Negro stu-dent while on campus. Itis looking into problems of campus lifefaced by Negro students.

Bill Ferris heads our Religious. Cultural and Social Committee. which is concerned withcreating greater contact andcommunication within the com-munity. It has sought to break

down de facto segregation inDa-vidson's eight churches whichare divided largely according torace and class although there isno formal policy of segregation.Last Sunday, a number of Davidson students went to "Ne-gro" Sunday schools and thenaccompanied Negro students toservices at local "white"churches.

Last December, the commillee secured a promise fromPresident O. GrierMartin that"nopunitive action will be tak-en against any employee ofDavidson College because ofhis membershipon,or associa-tion with, the Committee.Thiswould not exclude actionwhich might be indicated be-cause of other reasons, includ-ing failure to carry out dutiesand responsibilities or viola-tions of the regulations of thecollege the town, the state,or the nation."

The committee learned thatmug natural leaders of the Ncgro community such as ministen .uid teachers do not live inDavidson because of inadequatehousing and school facilities.There has beencooperation withthe Mayor's Committeein working out the desegregation of pub-lic facilities in town.

Our Voter Education and Reg-istration Committee, ledby Mrs.William Morris, seeks to en-courage Negroes to exercise theright to vote. It is attempting tofind the causes of widespreadmm voting and to alleviate the

problem by providing the necessary education and information.

Our Intercollegiate Communication Committee, headed byTom Vinson. seeks to promotecontact between Davidson and"Negro" colleges. Its plans forthe future include greater participation in Davidson cultiir.ilactivities by Negro students, andweekend exchanges throughwhich Davidson students couldlive at ■ "Negro" college andNegro students could live at D*vidson. It also strives to encoiuage civil rights activitiesat othcr colleges.

As a result of our recent letuiwriting campaign ■for the civilright! bill, over 40 letters werewritten by Davidson student^and professors, and at least 40ueic written by local Hegror

The Committee is current!}sponsoring the march to OutMile onbehalf of civil right bisl.ition Many members of DCHC are participating in the VMCA tutorial project.

Secor: 'Rockefeller Would ProvideEffective And Decisive Leadership'

BY PHILIP B. SECORProfessor of Political Science

This is my week for political frustration! Yesterday,my self-imposed task was to compose a letter to SenatorSam Ervin. Jr., urging him to support the Civil Rights Bill. (Wow!) Today my task is to urge the presidentialcandidacy of Nelson Rockefeller to a largely conservative and southern audience. Obviously many, if not most, ofyouhold political values (opinions?) different from mine so my argumentsare not likely to convince you. About allIcan hope todo is to tellyou whyIfavor Rockefeller and how*Isee him distinguished from the other presidentialcandidates now in the field.

Mostly. I'm fed up with thelack of commitment and moralindcclslveness which Isee ascharacteristicof American poli-tical leadership since the earlydecadesof this century.

This indedsiveness has, itseems to me, taken two majordirections: (1) the short,frightened stop and start steppings of the political pragmalists; here we have seen therespectable cloak of "realism.""practicality." "common"sense," and "moderation"

thrownoverwhat is oftenactuallymoralcowardice, fear,equivocation, and "allthings U>all-people" politic*; and (2) thehackneyed, cliched. twovaluedmoralizing of the confused chil-dren statesmen who arc asafraid of relevant moral com-mitments as their tiny mindedpragmatic counterparts; herewe have seen the respectablecloak of "crusade for freedom.""Save our children from athels

rections of power. (This is"sense of humor" a laProfessorBliss' excellent lecture in Hu-manities XI on "humor" and the"comic" response to the human

predicament.)Rockefeller impresses me-

.itid maybe he's just good atfooling politically liberal academicians—on the most literate,morally decisive, nnd clearlypositioned of the candidates. Ithink Ican say of Rockefellerthat I support him because (1)I know what he regards as thebest response to some problems,(2) Iagree with most of theseii-sponses. (3) he seems to havethe intelligence and experienceMMMiqi to make a noble effortto realize his ideas. Of courseIcan be mistaken in this but Idofeel more certain about Rockeleller in these throe particularsthan I do about any other candidatc.

Hrre is a very brief checksheet to give you some em-amples. On civil rights. Rocke-feller's position Is clear Interms of his statements and

his record InMew York State.Iam Insubstantialagreementwith him here. On Hie govern-ment's role In the economy,his record and his statementsan also quite clear.He Is forsound management of publicpolicies. He Is businessmanenough to prito good manage-ment principles and techniquesand he is socially orientedenough to desire that govern-ment take a loading role inoutlining the broad directionsof social and economic policy.I agree.In the area of foreign af i

f.«11-. Imust rely mostly on my

liigh regard for the man's inUMligcncc and moral courage.Conditions change too rapidly topermit any candidate to expre*«clear positions in advance. Imust confess, however, thattione of Die candidates, includingRockefeller, corne as close asJohn Kennedy did to expressinginy desire for experimentingwith new posture1

- in foreignpolicy

(Continued On Page Four)

Barring some completely unforseen catastrophe. Lyndon Johnson will win the1964 Presidential election by an awesome landslide.

Whoever Is finally nominatedto run against Johnson willprobably attack the Presidenton throe counts. First, on tnegrounds that Johnson is "pro-vincial" and thus will havetrouble with foreign policy;secondly Johnson's so-called"wheeler-dealer" method ofoperationwillbe assailed; and

Recent nationwide polls, con-ducted todeterminethepopularity of various presidentialcandidates, have consistently shownthat 75 per cent or better of theAmerican voters are satisfiedwith Johnson and would favorhim over any other candidate.

Obviously he cannot maintaina lead like that for too long, butevenif he does not. who's goingto beat him? Noother Democratic candidate is even under consideration. and so far the Republican showing hasn't beenvery strong.

Barry Goldwater has longpassedhis high-water mark. Before the November assassinationof President Kennedy, Goldwater had picked up a phenomenally loyal following, but he wasbuilding bis campaign on ashaky foundationof attacks on apersonality.Then the personality wasn't there any more andthebottomfell out. Thatplus thefact that because the assassination happenedin Dallas, a widespread distrust of the extremeright (whichmust be linked withGoldwater) exists despite itshaving been cleared by the investigators of any part in theassassination.

Goldwater has since boonat-tempting to build the semetypo of campaign via a ser-ies of attacks on PresidentJohnson and his policies, butbecause of Johnson's tremen-dous popularity, Goldwater Islargely falling flat on his face.Nelson (Hiya) Rockefeller has

strong qualifications and a goodrecord as New York governor,but his ideas are not that dif-ferent from Johnson's and hehas personal problems going i

against him.Harold (Boy Wonder) Slas

sen's chances look rather slim,and Henry Cabot Lodge is notknown well enough to offer aserious threat. William Scran-ton andGeorge Romney likewisesuffer from underexposure, andRomney- is having troubles ofhis own in Michigan now. Andfinally, although Richard Nixonis certainly well-known, he isbest known tomillions of Ameri-cans as a two-time loser, and ifbe runs again, he may have todo something about his foot be-ing in his mouth as far as thepress is concerned.

JOHNSON

thirdly, Johnson will be catted"twe-faeed" for Ms stands encertain Issues, oddly eneughincluding civil rights.Johnson's knowledgeof foreign

a/fairs was no doubt limitedprior tohis becoming Vice-Presi

Self-assuied, conservative William Warren Scranton of Peansylvanniahas changedthe outlook of his constituency from defeatism to confidence since assuming the gov-ernorship in January, 1963. His leadership has won him high standing in the list ofRepublican presidential possibilities yet Scranton remains noncommittal about hisentering the race.

The New Hampshire.Oregon, and California primalies will definitely eliminateScranton as a potentialnomineeif they produce an irrepressibletrend toward either Rockefelleror Goldwater.

Even if the primary resultsshow a toss up in New Hamp-shire and further indecision inOregon, Scranton supporters donot guarantee that their leaderwill seek nomination. Scrantonlikes to be assured he will havesolid backing as indicated by hisreluctance to run for governorin 1962 until every G.O.P. countychairman in Pennsylvania hadpledged his support.

Humphrey First ChoiceFor LBJ Running - Mate

"V CHARLES RAMBERG"Lyndon Johnson is a snake in the weeds and will be forced to prove himself one

many times before November," wrote a seasonedobserver of Georgia politics recently.Just how many rattles Southern voters can discern on the Democratic Party's presi-dential candidate will be one of many factors Johnson considers in August beforehe names his choke for running-mate.

At this writing, the Democratharenearly as many contenderfor second place on the Johnsoticket as the Republicans havfor the first spot. They includCaliforniaGovernor Pat BrownMinnesota Senators Hu b erHumphrey and Eugene McCarthy. Attorney General RoberKennedy, Peace Corps directoiSargent Shriver. UN. asbassador Adlai Stevenson and NewYork City mayor Robert Wag.'er.Ishall consider only Humphrey. Stevenson. Shriver andKennedy.

Accenting interest in the racefor the Democratic Vice Presidential nomination this year area numberof factors, not the leastof which is the president'shealth. In this election year.American voters will be moreaware than ever that a presi-dent's term can end suddenly.They will recall Johnson's 1955heart attack and probably favora young running mate.

Johnson will choose his run-ning mate in late August at Atlantic City. N. J.. a month afterthe G.O.P. convention in SanFrancisco. Undoubtedly the geo-graphical base and political positions of the Republican chalienger will play a large part inhis decision. So far. the majorcontender: for the Democrats'second spot are from the party'sliberal wing and (with the ex-ception of Brown) from Northern states.

Theodore H. White has chafacterized the '60 election as aSouthern revolt.This year Nixoncaptured Virginia's and Florida's electoral votes and im-proved on Eisenhower's inroadsinto Democraticpluralities in Al..bama. Georgia. Mississippi andSouth Carolina John Kennedycaptured only 52.9 per cent ofthe popular vote in the onceSol-id South.

Most of tho credit for thatmajority went to LyndonJohn-son, who had captured all butISVfc of Mm M7 vote* eight ofMm ton Old South stalo*brought to Mm DemocraticConvention.Now Johnson must contend

with animage that Southern vot-ers find tarnishedby his supportof civil rights legislation, yet heneeds both their support and thatof the liberally-oriented Northorn urban electorate. 1

Robert F. Kennedy. W. ratedsecond choice by the countychairmen, is no newcomer topolitics. He managed his broth-er's presidentialcampaign in "60.which would give him doublevalue as a Johnston runningmate. Not only couldhe contribute all his political acumen, buthe could also draw on all theclose ties he built up and hasmaintained with political leaders. particularly in the vitalNorth and East.

Kennedy appealsto many voting blocs. He is both younganda Catholic. His record as Altorney General should garner forthe Democrats any Negro votesthey missed in 1960. And he hasthe magic of the Kennedy name.as well as the confidence of thepresident, who sent him on amission to Southeast Asia as hispersonal envoy.

One major debit can be citedagainst Robert Kennedy (Hecannot be chargedpolitically in-adept after masterminding thewinning candidate's campaign in'60). and that black mark maybe enough to blot out much ofhis worthas a Northeastern bal-ance toSouthwesternerJohnson.

overcome an earlier reputationas a "far-out" liberal to becomethe favorite Vice Presidential

. nominee for the Democratic. county chairmen. He is still aI liberal's liberal, however, andin> addition is a skilled politician.

Finally, he want* to be VicePresident.

In 1947 he was co founder ofthe Americans for DemocraticAction. A year later at theDem-ocratic Convention he invitedhisfellow party members to "getout of the shadow of states'rights and walk forthrightll inthe bright sunshine of humanrights." This led to a walkoutof several Southern delegationsand formation of the States'Rights Party.

His liberal voting record oncivil rights, medical care, fed-eral aid to education and ur-ban renewal hot endeared himto largo masses of voters inthe largo Northern cities, theNegro voter, and organized ta-bor. And yet he Is not Mm an-athema lo Mm South that Rob-ert Kennedy Is.And Humphrey wants the sec

ond spot on the ticket. On Jan.2 he saidthat to run for the VicePresidency would be a "singular honor." Soon thereafter, U.S. Mows A World Report statedthat Humphrey was running ashard as he could for the nomination.

Many ifs remains to be determined. Who will be the G.O.P.choice to oppose Johnson? Whatwill the public opinion polls say-about the Johnson image in theSouth and Northeast in August?Only when these and many oth-er factors are decided willLyn-don Johnson end the specula-tion and name his choice forrunning mate.

Finally. Johnson may want toput a Catholic on the ticket.Shriver and Kennedy both qual-ify

R. Sargent Shriver. 48. has recently been the object of themost attention in the race for-second spot on the Democraticticket. The boomletcan be trac-ed to Jan. 6. when Johnson stat-ed that he regards Shriver as"one of the most brilliant mostable and most competent offi-cials in the Government.Ire-gard him as my realconfidant,"Johnson concluded.

As much of Shriver's appealcan be traced to whathe is asto what he has done. He tookover the fledgling Peace Corpsin 1961 soon after resigning ashead of the Chicago SchoolBoard. In his only federal post,the Maryland native has beenspectacularly successful. ByJanuary. 1964. the Peace Corpshad sent 8.000 volunteers to 46foreign nations.

What Shriver is would helptho Democrats pull In manynorthern votes that might oth-erwise bo lost. Ho Is a north-erner,a liberal (bo once head-ed a John Kennedv-appotntodcivll rights task forco),o Cathollc anda member of the Ken-nedy family by marriage.

ing to take Shriver seriously,however, andsee his boomletasone of many Johnston trial bal-loons. Opposition to Shriver cen-ters mainly on the fact that hehas never been tested inanelec-tion beyond the Chicago citylimits.

In question disappeared beforethe investigationcould material-ise.

Johnson is sometimes caughtshort while dealing, as he wasin I960 when he had to do someword-eating during and after theDemocratic NationalConvention.However, the "wheelerdealer"charge will probably have verylittle effect on the elections, as.nu more will come from theBaker inquiry than came fromthe 1948 investigation.

The third charge brought a-gainst Johnson frequently isthat he tries tobe "all things toall people." and the specific ex-ample usually cited is that bewishes to be known as a South-erner, and yet he supports CivilRights legislation. More on thatlater, but the following is howJohnson oncedescribed himself:

"Iama free man,an Ameri-can, a U. S. Senator, and aDemocrat, In thai order. Iam

I also a 'liberal,' a 'conserva-tive,' a Toxan, a taxpayer, arancher,a businessman, a con-sumer, a parent, a voter, and. not as young as Iused to bo

i or as old as I expect to bo—

I and I am all those things Inno fixed order."Johnson resists being typed in

neat categories such as conser-1 vative or liberal, and he holdsI various views generally attribut-ed to each of both groups. How

! ever. Johnson is capable ofIstanding for these different

things without the rambling inI coherence of Goldwater.

For example.Johnson probab-ly considers himself a Southern-er, and he has always defendedthe filibuster on the grounds thatwithout it. a "simple majoritymight get out of hand" in con

I trolling the government. He alsoIhas several solid friends in the' Southern Senate block, among

them Richard Russell of Geor-gia, present leader of the fightagainst Civil Rights legislation.

And yet the first meaningfulcivil-rights bill since the CivilWar was passed by the Senatewhen Johnson was majorityleader. Consistently he backedcivil rights as Vice-President,and he has continued todo so asPresident.

How can thai bo? A possibleexplanation might bo that thesection of Texas Johnson livesIn is not so much a part of thoSouth as it li of the West.Thero is not any considerablenumber of Negroes In John-son's part of Texas, and thusho does not have tho InbredSouthern attitude* on raeo ofRussell.A more plausible explanation

might be that during his severalyears in federal government(since 1937) Johnson's outlookhas broadenedconsiderably. Recently he said the following con-cerning civil rights:

"Unless we are willing to yieldup our destiny of greatness a-mong the civilizationsof history,Americans- white and Negro to-gether must be about the busi-ness of resolving the challengewhich confronts us now. UntilJustice is blind to color, untileducation is unaware of race,until opportunity is unconcernedwith the color of men's skins,emancipation will be a procla-mation but not a fact."

In conclusion, Johnson's rec-ord so far has been impressiveas far as moving legislationthrough Congress, particularlythe recent tax cut bill. He hasalso done well in other fields,such as stopping the feeling ofdistrust of the White House among businessmen.He deservesa full term in office to see whathe can do. and again, barringthe completely unforseeable. hewill get that term.

In the Held of foreign aid. theSenator feels that such aidshould not go to those countrieswhose policies arc consistentlyunfriendly to our own: aid tofriendly nations should be. gen-erally, limited to military andtechnical assistance in the Westem defense against Commurtism.

Ttie senator from Arizonaholds clear cut views on domestic issues:* On tho currently highlypublicized Issue of "poverty"the senator Is explicit In thebelief that some of those whoare poor are so because they■re disinclined to work; thoseshould bo carefully disting-uished from tho** unfortun-ates whoso hardships resultfrom external and Involuntarycause*; theneeds of those whowish to work but cannot,should be looked after.

mciit situation. Senator Goldwater would have the FederalGovernment take three mainsteps: (1) Eliminate laborunion monopolies, which denyemployment to non-members,and increase production costs:both are major factors in thepresent situation. (2) Avoid in-flexible national wage scales,which have the effect of lowering rather than increasing realincome, and inactivate and dis-courage potential employers,thus spreading unemployment.(3) Moderate or eliminate thepunitive income tax, which de-prives the economy of capitalwhich would otherwise be available for productive investmentIn the nation's capitalplant, andthus increase employment. (Theloss in revenue would be lessthan the reduction in the present

Senator Goldwater favorsselling theparts of TV'A that areengaged incommercialactivitiesin competition with local serv-ices.Beingexempt from normaltaxation. TV A can underbidcompetition: the net effect is acontinuing subsidy for the privileged few by the many. Sale ofthese facilities would end thiseconomic imbalance, and showa net economic gain to the na-tion as these enterprises shiftedto efficient, non-bureaucraticoperation by taxpaying corpora-tions.* Senator Goldwater op-

poses the ponding Civil RightsMM on tho grounds that Itseeks lo mako It a logal offonse for an individual. In theconduct of his own affairs, todecide for himself the personswMh whom ho chooses to dobwalMSS."

Senator Goldwater. if elected President, would attempt tohave Social Security reorgan-ised along the lines of the volun-tary plan now covering profes-sionals and small businessmen;he objects to the totally cen-tralized and compulsory systemnow in existence, and believesitcould be more efficiently runby private, local, and state func-tions. The senator also opposesthe proposedMedicare plan onessentially the same grounds, in-cluding the fact that a success-ful plan (KerrMills) is alreadyin existence.

This,inbrief, isSenator Gold-water's stand on the major is-sues. It Is my belief that hisviews are shared, at least inpart, by the greater portion ofthe American people, who are,at heart, basically conservative.

Galdwater's popularity 'withthe electorate or the West. Mid-west, and South, along with the"rising groundswell of conserva-tism" in this nation, will makehim a tough opponent for Lyn-don Johnson, who will find itdifficult to hold together thoshaky coalition of minoritygroups that elected the l.ittPresident Kennedy in I960.

possibility of a second, or run-off primary. The man with thesecond highest plurality in theevent of no majority can forcea primary with his higher op-ponent ifhe so chooses.

The only previouscampaigneramong the three is I. Beverlytake, the Wake Forest law profexsor who ran in I960, beingdefeated in the run off primaryb> Terry Sanford. Lake polled181.000 votes out of the total ofH.Vi.ago cast in the three wayfirst primary, and garnered275.0M of 628.M0 in the secondprimary. So it is estimated thathe starts in the present situationwith from 175.080 to 200.800 cer-tain votes which he is strivingto boost to a majority.

Inorder todo this. Lake mustplay down the race theme inline with tlie prevailing moder-ate sentiment on the subject a-mong the majority of people in

the standings for this weekshould be correct as listed.

It would appear that the only-remaining obstacles between theTaus and a perfect season arethe SAE's and the Independents.Both of these squads hold records which indicate losses to thetop half of the league and vic-tories over the bottom 5. butboth can be dangerous on agiven night. The ATO's. on theother hand, have defeated everyone in the top half of the standings and appear to have thechampionship sewn up.

Only the Kappa Sigs stand achance to beat out the frontrunners. They have games remaining with the Phi Delts andPi Kapps While the latter con-test should provide little traumafor the Sig quintet, the contestwith the Delts could be interesting. The Dells, their other remaining games being with theSAE's and Sig Eps. will likelybe pl.-iying for a share of secondplace Their 2 losses came atthe hands of the Taus and the

They appearto have the best of the schedulein their struggle to beat out theKA's and Independents who also have 4 losses.

At the risk of sounding a bit corny, congratulationsare due the Cats also Congratulations and a word ofthanks. Thanks foi adding something noticably lackingsince Davidson became a "suitcase college"— a sense ofcommon interest that overcame fraternal and classisolation.

Two major contributions of this team deserve theappreciation of a great many people in this area. Oneis general, the other specific. The first contribution isproviding an example of excellence which one rarelysees or knows first hand. If this years basketball teamwas sloppy at times, it also was excellent at times Ex-cellent as adjudged on a national level— the best thereis— not on any limiting basis.

The second contribution was probably best seen onthe night of the victory over Ohio State, a night on whichevery student and member of this college community wasproud to say he was affiliated with this college. This wasa feeling so strong that a discussion on subsidized ath-letics was even cancelled. That was a night an athleticteam brought an academic institution a feeling of self-respect and awareness of identity which it was unawareit possessed.

These are a couple of the reasons whyIwould liketo say thank you for this year— a year that, though itended dismally, contained probably the biggest athleticthrills and achievements ever compiled at this college.ANALL AMERICAN ...

Fred Hetzel may have had better shooting nightsbut he never was better than last Friday night. He washell.

He continually rolled,bumpedand jumpedand work-ed for the ball in an effort to beat VMI. In the process hescored 41 points, ran through two pivot men and beat asagging zone which at times even sagged from the sideofthe ball.

In all it was a magnificent performance by a basket-ball player of great talent and a competitor who didn'twant to lose.

During this same week Hetzel was named to thesecond team on two All-American teams and won theoutstanding playeraward for the tournament.Last week'sperformance only emphasized the talent these awardsrecognized and made more poignant the fact thathe willnot show the people of Philadelphia nor even New Yorkwhat he has to offer.

WAS THISTHE ONLY WAY?In the United States only two conferences persist in

choosing their NCAA representatives via the tournamentsystem— the Southern Conference is one of them.

The arguments for and against such an arrangementhave been trotted onto the printed page countless times.Briefly the two principle arguments for a tournament arethat it provides an opportunity for a team that startsslowly and develops into a strong team to reap its justreward. The second argument is that it provides a greatdeal of money for the conference schools.

The argument against a tournament is that it nulli-fies a great season in one night; therefore, it makes amockery out of regular season play.

Coach Bill Reinhart summed up the argument for bothdefense and prosecution in two statements he made lastweek. In one statement he called VMI the best team inthe Conference and referred to that team as one thatdevelopedlate in the season. On the otherhand he readilyIadmitted that he spent the season preparing his team for*the tournament.

PersonallyIfeel that the arguments advanced for a:tournament are not as strong as those against this set up.Yet, the fact remains that while cash returns remain high,a tournament willbe held.

Iwould like to suggest some alternate methods ofselection which would prevent a situation in which theConference was not represented by its best team.

One method would be to play an eight team tourna-ment in which the regular season champion was not in-1eluded and have a play-off game or three night series be-tween the conference champion and tournament cham-pion.

Another alternative would provide for a play-off jgame if the Conference Champion and tournamentchampwere different teams

A third alternative would be to further sub-dividethe NCAA districts much like the NAIA districts In thissituation, the Southern Conference Champion, the Atlan-tic Coast Champion and either one or two teams with thebest records would represent this area.

None of the above was meant to be sour grapes butsome action is needed to rectify a situation in which ateam could go undefeated,be ranked number one in thecountry and never represent the/conference

—if it come

down with measles at tournament time.

AQUESTION . ..A brief stir of excitement blew through the pines

this week when the possibility of an NIT engagementarose. The excitement died along with the possibility.Iwon't comment whether or not this was good, bad orindifferent.

The decision to prohibit participation by Davidsonin the NIT was made along the lines of previous confer-ence policy by the men responsible for this policy Anymember of a conference must be necessarily willing toaccept such decisions. Davidson has no complaints.

As an individual thoughIcan't help wonderingwhythe Conference has adopted this policy in the past. Thestory on page one outlined some of the reasons. Yetcertain questions arise as to why the Missouri Valley Con-ference is regularly represented in the NIT by a team.while the champion formally represents the conferencein the NCAA. And why are the best interests of the con-ference not served when a conference member is honoredby an opportunity to play in this tournament?

And as another long season ends, just to prove thework never ends, Coaches Driesell and Hunt are gone-recruiting.

Classes began this week in the college's Dana Science Building for the firstCivil Defense Shelter Managers Course of the town of Davidson. It has thelargest enrollment for any such class ever held in Mecklenburg County.

"I imagine some SO peoplewill be taking the course." saidDr. Samuel D Malonoy. Davidson's Deputy Director of CivilDefenseand chairman of the Davidson College Fallout Protec

The purpose of the 10hourcourse is to provide "trainedandresponsible leadership for thesuccessful operation of a shelterprogram." Within seven of thecampus buildings are 15 desig-nated shelter areas, and Maloney says the program shouldhave at least three managersfor each shelter, as the nationalCivil Defense program advises.

"Let me emphasize that theseare not bomb shelters at all."Maloney pointed out. "We aren'ttoo worried about that sincethere are no primary targetareas inNorth Carolina.
