New Decades First ClassYoung, Qualified, Prepared

By Joel MontgomeryThe first class of a new dec-

ade at Carleton has turned outto be "very like' the classes ofthe last four or five years, ac-cording to Mr. Charles Gavin,director of admissions.

College Board SAT scoresranged most heavily in the 600-750 area, with the men's mathmedian in the high 600's, wom-en's about 650, men's verbaljust below 650 and women's in,the upper 600's. This placesCarleton again in the top 20schools in the country in thisdepartment.

Geographically, C a r 1 e t o n'ayounger generation comes from,the North Central states, withthe Middle Atlantic and West-ern regions second and third.Minnesota contributed 22 per-cent, less than in recent years,of the class of 376, with Illinois,second, New York third andC a l i f o r n i a fourth. Fifteenforeign students, more than an-ticipated, round out the class.

Athletics top the extracur-ricular interests of the class;129 men and 74 women partici-pated in some high schoolsports. Musical interests aresecond on the list, with 71 menand 78 women. Publications,speech, drama and debate arealso favorite occupations.

Graduate work figures in the

plans of more than 60 percentof the class, and about 5 per-cent expect to work in eitherthe Peace Corps or VISTA.

"We hit it right on the nose,"said Gavin about the size of theclass of 1970, 203 men and 173women. "There will be no prob-

Frosh Handbook AppearsAfter Long, Hot Summer

By Lee WestenbergOnce again, administration

officials made sure that froshwould see it their way whenthey abruptly cancelled plansfor a midsummer mailing of thestudent-edited frosh handbook,See It Our Way, to the Classof 1970.

So Northfield remained pris-tine and twinkling and Carle-ton was dandelion and lollipopbejewelled for a few more pre-cious weeks in the dreams of376 freshmen and their par-ents.

This year's handbook, hailedby upperclassmen, proctors,

and East Side counselors asthe best ever, was neverthelessdescribed by Dean of WomenMiss Jean Phillips as "unre-strained, and discouraging tomost freshmen unless followedclosely up by discussion withindividuals more familiar withthe campus."

The publication's co-editor,sophomore Bob Roth, was "sur-prised" that the summer mail-ings were scrubbed, but happythat the administration hadkept its promise not to censorany portion of the manual. Rothand co-editor Becky Collignon

Eighty-five percent of the newstudents a t t e n d e d publicschools, and the remaining 15percent various independent in-stitutions. The size of seniorclasses ranged from 25 to morethan 1,000. The majority of thefreshmen graduated in classeswith 300-600 seniors.

Nearly all placed in the topU0 percent of their class, anda large percentage in the upper10 percent. This includes manyvaledictorians and - salutator-ians.

Full ScheduleFor Centennial

The academic year 1966-1967marks the first one hundredyears of Carleton College. Inhonor of this event the collegehas planned with the help offaculty and students a Centen-nial Celebration that will en-compass various activities andevents held throughout the com-ing year.

Professor George Soule, Di-rector of the Centennial Cele-bration, indicated that theCelebration would have "nooverall theme," but rather thecollege will attempt to "inten-sify those things it alreadystands for — excellence in thepursuit ow knowledge and ar-tistic achievement." Soule alsopointed out that every efforthas been made to make theCelebration a valuable contri-bution to the campus, by avoid-ing many of the commercialaspects that often mar suchcelebrations.

The Centennial year's open-ing convocation will be address-ed by Henry Steele Commager,professor of History and Ameri-can Studies at Amherst

In the academic realm thecollege will present three sym-posiums—each concerned witha different area of study. A sci-ence s y m p o s i u m entitled"Where is Science Taking Us"is scheduled for October 13-14.Featured at this opening sym-posium will be four well-knownscientists—Dr. Laurence Gould,a former President of Carleton,is scheduled to give the openingaddress. Drs. Rene Dubos, Rog-er Revelle, and Walter Orr Rob-erts will also speak in the sct-

Tension, WaitingLinger on Campus

By Dick Sadler

Students arriving in North-field yesterday for their firstconfrontation with Carletoncome to a campus fraught withapprehension and expectation.Apprehension, because of fa-miliarity with a discouragingpast; and expectation, becauseof the possibility of new re-forms. Last year, PresidentNason's fourth of Carleton, wascharacterized by a politicalclimate of extremes. It was ayear of both great concern forthe- schools' future and of con-siderable apathy toward meet-ing its challenges.

Returning to the campus lastfall, students faced threenewly appointed deans and theexpectation of a prolonged de-bate over the issue of commun-ity government. This had beenraised the preceding year in an-other one of Carleton's ap-parently innumerable crises.However, President Nasonquickly dismissed the matterwith an unqualified "No" to any

form of community government.To underscore the point, he

resigned from the SFA council(Student - Faculty - Administra-tion). He further declared thatthe Council should be longervote on any issues. But whenit was pointed out that theoriginal SFA charter (which hehad signed) had provided forsuch voting, Nason withdrewhis objection. The campus againreturned to its usual condition— concerned apathy.

Then came Thursday, Octo-ber 28.

Jeff Long, a senior religionmajor, wrote a letter to the edi-tor which appeared in the Octo-ber 28 issue of the Carletonian.All hell broke loose. Pete Iver-son, the Carletonian editor, wasthreatened with .loss of job andsuspension from school. JeffLong was placed on social pro-bation. Letters to the editorpoured in as never before.

Specifically, the Long letterconcerned sex at Carleton ,butthe issue soon broadened into

Summer Term StressesExperiments - not Honors

By Lee Westenberg

Nine hot weeks in North-field, Minn., a real 12:1 student-faculty ratio, four " hours ofclasses every day five timesweekly — this was what con-fronted twenty-one frosh sum-mer termers.

Each participant chose twocourses from offerings inClassical Literature, Govern-ment, Religion, and ModernLanguages. In addition, Assist-ant Professor of English FrankMorral taught an intensified rhe-toric course to five Rockefellerstudents, who were also enroll-ed ir. several other classes.

Directed for the second yearin a row by Associate Art Pro-fessor Dale Haworth, the Sum-mer Program of Special Studiesis tough and generally challeng-ing of course, but more inti-mate and informal than regu-lar terms. Other benefits in-

clude: (1) a 4 credit academiccushion, enabling one to flunkfour courses and still receivea B.A. or delve more deeply in-to a major field or go abroadfor a term or graduate in threeyears/ (2) a slight monetarysaving, (3) the opportunity topartially avoid being a totallygawky frosh come September.

Originally a highly selectivehonors program, for the pasttwo years the summer session,has been open to all freshmen,implying a greater orientationtoward the faculty. As Haworthsuggests, the recent emphasishas been to develop newcourses, evaluate inter-disciplin-ary offerings, and to encourageprofessors to experiment withvarious teaching methods andmaterials.

CLASS.OF

CorrectionsEvery year four or five members of the Carletonian

staff return with the new students. You are presentlyreading the hasty efforts of this small staff. It is our wayof bidding you, the new students, a welcome to CarletonCollege.

Such a freshmen issue can only serve as a brief intro-duction to the campus. But we hope it will provide someinformation as to what happened last year (the admis-sions office believes it better for prospectives not to re-ceive the 'tonian), and a brief look into the prospects forthe present academic year. However, we would urge allnew students to seek, out upperclassmen when they re-turn tomorrow and ask them the questions which aresure to arise.

As students new to the college, the only impressionsthat you have of the school are bound to be mostly sec-ondhand. If you were fortunate enough to know some-one from the collegeT you probably know a little aboutthe many issues facing the student body. But if the onlyinformation you have received is from the admissions of-fice, there is a good chance that some of what is includedin the "See It Our Way" frosh booklet and in this issueof the paper seems a bit strange.

More than likely you have viewed Carleton througha pane of rose colored glass. Indeed, if this is the collegein which you have chosen to spend the next four yearsof your life, there must have been something positivewhich attracted you to Northfield. And, in fact, Carletonis a good school, with many excellent facilities, not theleast of which is its faculty.

But Carleton is far from the school it should be. It isafflicted with an archaic social structure, made worse bythe pettiness and indecisiveness often displayed at thetop. There is a vague commitment to academic reform,but it is always far too slow in coming. Student-facultyrelations are not what they should be. And at the heartof these problems seems to be a general disrespect andmistrust of the students and their ability to participatein an active 'way within the college community. ThusCarleton is caught up in a turmoil, and it seems likelythat it will continue to be so for some time.

As a result of this struggle to improve the college,there has often been a good deal of negativism. But thismust not be mistaken as an attempt to damage the col-lege, for in most cases it is an attempt to accomplish justthe opposite.

Criticism of those outdated ideas and institutions atCarleton is one of the most valuable services a studentbody can provide a college. It is a lesson not easilylearned.

Thoughts. . . The notion that the university should act in loco

parentis to its students is a relatively new and limitedone; to this day it is confined pretty much to English-speaking countries, and unknown elsewhere. The prin-ciple of in loco parentis was doubtless suitable enoughin an earlier era, when boys went to college at the ageof thirteen or fourteen; it is a, bit ridiculous in a societywhere most students are mature enough to marry andraise families.

. . . No one will deny that manifestations of studentindependence occasionally get out of hand, just as mani-festations of adult independence get out of hand; weshould remember, however, that if there is to be an ex-cess, it is far better to have an excess of interest andactivity than an excess of apathy. But the solution forstudent intemperance is not for the university authoritiesto act in the place of parents.

It is not the business of the university to go bustlingaround like some Aunt Polly, censoring a student paperhere, cutting out indelicacies in a student play there,approving this club or that, accepting or rejecting speak-ers invited by student organizations, snooping into theprivate lives of students. These matters are the respon-sibility of the students themselves.

"The Nature of Academic Freedom"Henry Steele Commager

Players Are A Strange LotJOHN SONNENDAY Players Board Chairman ^^^=:^^^=

Theater people are a strange lot. If you ar-rived on campus expecting to be able to recog-nize all the Players at first glance, you mayhave a disappointment ahead. There will bemany folks quite willing to give you their defini-tion of a Player, if they haven't already.

So, just in order to confuse you more, I'll of-fer mine: A Player is someone who prefers thedark, dank corners of Nourse Little Theater(NLT for those of you searching frantically forthe "in" phrases of Carleton jargon) to thespacious sunlit expanses of the bald spot; aPlayer is someone who couldn't play football,although a few cross country runners and tennisjocks (that's also jargon) have been known tosneak in undetected until it was too late.

A Player is one known for his long beard, al-though the honors in the field must now go toMr. Smith of the Religion department (Let itbe known that Players will accept the challengeas soon as we find someone who has a chanceto catch him before Christmas); a Player isthat character effectively ignoring you at thedinner table while he madly studies his linesbefore the play opens two hours later.

For those of you still set on seeing a realPlayer they may be fcund in NLT at any timeof day or night (literally). You may try gawk-ing in First Willis Lounge, although it's veryeasy to be deceived there by the "pseudos." Andfor those really enterprising, the Arb is likely tobe full, although you must remember that in thedark, a Jock can often be mistaken for aPlayer.

Now that you have been adequately confusedand insulted, I would hope that it is clear thata Player is actually anyone who likes theaterand has the courage or the stupidity to give ita try at Carleton. Either will do and is theonly requirement; experience is absolutely un-necessray. Every play needs a large number oftechnicians and actors, and anyone with ex-perience or the willingness to learn is morethan welcome.

There is no membership in Players as such.

"Players" is an amorphous group of peopleactive in all aspects of Carleton theater. Theonly group for which there is a strictly definedmembership is the Players' Board, a group of10 to 20 students who are responsible for theproduction of all Players productions, includingchoosing the season, seeing the plays throughproduction, and conducting any other businessrelevant to the Carleton theater. Election toPlayers' Board is on the basis of active and sus-tained participation in Players productions.

The two best ways for freshmen to become in-troduced to Carleton theater are Critics' Circleand Experimentals. Critics' Circle has been setup to aid the necessary inter-play between per-former and audience. Ordinarily it meets twice,once before the play goes into rehearsal to hearthe play read and formulate ideas on effectiveproduction and one just before the play opens,attending a dress rehearsal as an audience tocomment on how the production is coming along.

In the case of the opening play, rehearsalshave already begun before you arrived, so thereis only a single meeting of the Critics' Circle, atthe first dress rehearsal. This meeting will takeplace on Monday evening, September 26 to viewthe first dress rehearsal of Harold Pinter's TheBirthday Party. All freshmen interested in thetheater, like actors, technicians, or just viewersare encouraged to attend.

Experimental plays offer an excellent oppor-tunity for the inexperienced actor to get intro-duced to the Carleton stage. Nearly everymember of the Players Board gets his start inexperimentals and continues to be active inthem until graduation. Directed by students andan occasional faculty member, these playB area chance to work with untried actors andauthors and are continually feeding into theregular season of major productions.

All interested freshmen are welcome to tourthe theater (at the north end of Nourse Hall) atany time when a rehearsal is not in progressand are especially encouraged to attend Critics'Circle Monday Night

Looking Back and AheadPETE IVERSON CSA President

When a college celebratesa centennial year, you mayassume that there will bemany opportunities for look-ing backward. There is areasonably good chance thatthose who are a part of thecollege will spend a gooddeal of time shaking theirheads about the changesthat have come during thepast ten decades.

When the college cele-brating its centennial yearis located irretrievably inNorthfleld, Minnesota, youcan be very sure there willbe a great deal of timespent viewing the previousone hundred years. Indeed,as members of the Class of1970, you may well learomore about the history ofCarleton College than youwant to learn.

However, a centennialyear should do more thanprovide scheduled pauses toregard the past. Such a yearcan also provide the chanceto gain perspective on whathas happened in order tomove ahead in the light ofthe New Day that is theCarleton of 1966.

For the Carleton of todayis far different than theCarleton of ten years ago.It is this change during thepast decade that is signi-ficant. It may be amusing tonote _that card-playing, smok-ing, billiards and gamblingwere strictly prohibited bythe catalog of 1878, bat it isthe alterations made sincethe mid-flfties that are real-ly striking and most relevantto the current situation. '

Equally striking are thechanges that have not beenmade. While the collegemade the change to the 3-3plan, it has been slow withinnovations in the academicrealm since that transition.While the college has madeimportant changes in socialrules and regulations, it hasbeen unwilling to provide asocial atmosphere in keep-ing with today's student intoday's society.

The great liberal arts col-lege is the one which, givenan able faculty and on ablestudent body, is willing toexperiment freely in boththt academic and the socialareas. As Carleton hesitatesto experiment so It will be

surpassed by other goodsmall colleges which arewilling to da so.

You have been told manytimes that you are an ex-tremely gifted class. As youbecome a part of that in-stitution called CarletonCollege, there are many herewho look forward to the partyou will play here — now,and in future years. As the

centennial year begins, I amreminded of the words of thepoet who wrote: "Come, myfriends, 'tis not too late toseek a newer world." On be-half of the Carleton StudentAssociation, let me issue aninvitation '"to strive, to seek,to find and not to yield" inworking toward achievingthat newer world at Carle-ton College.

Co-op DefinedQUEEN FIELDS, Co-op Co-chairman

The purpose of CarletonSocial Coop as denned inthe Charter of the CarletonCollege Social Cooperative,Article 1, Section 2 is: '"Thepurpose of this organizationshall be to provide adequatesocial activity for all mem-bers of the student body."

To provide "adequate so-cial activity for all membersof the student body." Thisseems to be relatively sim-ple task for a board of 26people. You have movies,dances, big name events,special events and you praythat all 1,300 students at-tend. You hope they attain apeace of mind until you givethem another opportunity todocilely flock back for thenext tranquility bit.

Or one could interpret'"adequate social activity

." as encompassingmuch, much more. As onlysomething which Coop mightaccidentally initiate, butwhich only the student canpersonally attain. Coop can,only provide facilities butthe basic impetus must comefrom the students. Sure,

there will be the big dances,the movies, the special andbig name events. But, thesmall event, for one's ownpersonal expression has tobe given to oneself. And forthat reason Coop cannotmake a truly successful so-cial year. Coop can only goso far. The twenty-six peo-ple on the hoard, diverse as.they may be, cannot providea delectable morsel foreveryone.

It is a question of eachstudent recognizing his ownneeds (and this is primary)and seeking out the meansto meet them.

The facilities will be pres-ent this year. The bignesswill also be here: concerts,musicals, dances (of allsorts), etc. Occasional inno-vations, more sublime at-tempts to placate the hun-gry mass, will differentiatethis board only slightly frompast boards. But the beautyof personal expression can-not be given; it cannot be'taken; it IB only found inoneself.

Knight-gridders OpenSeason Against Vikes

by Bob WhiteCarleton's football team faces

one of its toughest tests of theseason when it goes up againsta strong Lawrence Universityteam on Saturday. It will be theseason opener for both teams.

The young Lawrence teamwhich drubbed the Carls lastfall 35-7 will return to actionwith a big plus in the experi-ence column. Led by juniorflash, Chuck McKee, an out-standing sprinter who will prob-ably start at quarterback, theVikes have spent the weekpolishing their offense.

The Carls will counter with ateam much improved over lastyear, led by tri-captains RobPaarlberg, Skip Hall, and GarySundem. The defensive teamlost only one senior, the ver-satile Jack Bestrom. However,as many as four sophomorescould start on defense.

Against Lawrence the frontfive will probably be .JohnReiners, Bruce Douglas, BobThiel, Tom Fabel, and Sundem.Backing up the line will beeither Tom Garton or TomAbram on the one side and Don-nie Dean on the other. Round-ing out the defense will be asecondary composed of TomWilliamson, Bill Aiken orPrintice Gary, Al Hughes orMark Weshinskey, and RudyJensen or Mark Smith. Aiken,Abram, Smith, and Garton aresophs.

Head coach Mel Taube willcontinue to employ a pro typeoffense this season. The offen-sive backfield will exhibit goodspeed as well as some changesfrom last year. The Carls mostlikely will have breakway threatRick Levinson (moved from full-back) at left half. Skip Hall atthe fullback slot, and Al Hughesat flanker back.

A newcomer to the position,Printice Gary is hoped "to bethe solution to Carleton's quar-terback problem. Both JohnWorcester and Don Bureah whoplayed number one and two atthe position last season grad-

uated. Gary will be throwing totight ends Sundem or Gary

Jacobsen and to split end MarkWeshinskey, the latter a mag-nificent receiver who has allthe moves.

Trying to open holes in theLawrence defensive forwardwall will be Paarlberg at cen-ter, Dennis McGraw at leftguard, Smith or Thiel at rightguard, Fabel or Bill Mauzy atleft tackle, and Bob Wortman atright tackle.

Gary may have to put hisdazzling speed to use andscamper if his interior line failsto provide that all importantpass pocket. The pass protec-tion has been a hazard to Carle-ton quarterbacks the past twoyears.

The Carls should improveupon last season's 3-5 mark,when they knocked off Beloit,Cornell, and Knox. Carleton nar-rowly missed upsetting the 1965champs Ripon, falling 10-6.Having to play . contendersLawrence, Beloit, Ripon, andSt. Olaf on the road might turnout to be a stumbling block. Athome, Carleton will battle Grin-nell, Cornell, Coe, and Knox. Ifthe Carls manage to slip pastLawrence, they could becomedarkhorse favorites.

Freshmen interested in play-ing football should contactCoach Willard Tuomi at theirearliest convenience.

both thought the material very'"restrained and realistic," nocause for alarm.

However, with titles like"What Is The Carleton SocialProblem?" "Student Protest?""Are The Rules Too Confin-ing?" and "Why I DislikeCarleton," the consensus is thatperhaps a few highly placed ad-ministrative eyebrows wereknitted over the chance of sub-sequent parental conniptions orfilial traumas.

TENSION(Continued from Page One)

a matter of censorship and therole *of publications on theCarleton campus. The flap wasfinally resolved by a Publica-tions Board statement disap-proving of Long's letter and re-affirming its right to suspendpublications and their editorsfor violations of certain stan-dards which were generally out-lined.

The fury of the crisis sub-sided, but only after much dis-cussion and a Christmas vaca-tion did the issue finally cometo rest.

With winter came a generaldeadening of all activity. ActionParty breathed its last, CraigRennebohm won the CSApresidency in an unopposedlackluster campaign, 110 in theShade came and went, and thepool tables in Second Willis be-came the center of attraction.Amidst minus-twenty tempera-tures and the Tonian's cries formore leadership, PresidentNason announced the formationof the Faculty-Administration-Trustee (FAT) Committee. Thepurpose of this new group wasto be an intensive examinationof the social situation at thecollege, culminating in a reportto the Board of Trustees some-time this fall. It is this forth-coming report that lies at theheart of most of the present ap-prehension. Although no officialstatements have been made, itIs expected that there will befew changes in the rule-makingprocess. But some liberalizationof the rules themselves is- an-ticipated.

The warm weather of Bpringbrought with is a general risein political activity. CraigRennebohlm resigned his CSApresidency and Pete Iversonwas elected to fill the vacancy.

Then came the end, temporaryperhaps, of open houses, andCarleton's most recent crisis.The Deans of Men and Women,holding to an earlier agree-ment, determined that therewould be no open houses inMay. Students felt that theexisting open house agreementhad worked well throughout the

past year and saw no reason fornot extending the agreementfor the remainder of the year.The Deans, however, wereadamant, and the broil beganagain.

As a demonstration of theirdisapproval of the Deans' posi-tion, students planned a sit-inat Evans on one Sunday after-noon. But it was decided thatsuch an open violation of therules would be too violent andnegative an action, and the"illegal" open house was calledoff.

In its place, students, organ-ized a torch light march toPresident Nasons' home. Over750 students turned out. Themarch successfully demon-strated massive student supportfor a statement released by theDeans indicating their willing-ness to work through the FATcommittee for a student "vote"in the formulation of sociallegislation.

After the demonstration, how-ever, the Deans qualified thatwhat they had really meantwas "voice" not "vote." Thecampus continued to steam.

Spring finals and summerreveries brought an end to theturmoil, but the issue of openhouses and a social "vote" re-mained unsolved. And a vaca-tion hasn't altered the situa-tion.

The big question now is, canCarleton regain this fall itshyperactive political fervor oflast spring?

Grant-Loren Team FlopsIn Grotesque Spy Flick

"ARABESQUE"Grand Theater

Sept. 25-297 & 9 p.m.

I saw this movie at a drive-in, but if it had been good, Iwould have watched it. CaryGrant plays Cary Grant, againin his inimitable style, with So-phia Loren as a pretty stageprop, with no lines worth men-tioning in a part with no char-acterization possible.

The plot is baaed, again, inthe James Bond format. Thesecret agent in this case isMiss Loren, with Mr. Grant anEgyptologist shanghaied intodeciphering some supposedlyimportant hieroglyphics. The in-evitable chase comes when boththe baddies and the goodies,who are indistinguishable mostof the time, both desire hisservices.

The scenery is nice, especial-

ly the shower scene with MissLoren, but even there the pho-tography is uninspired. The lo-cation shots could have beenshot just as well on some Hol-lywood sound stage for all theycontributed to this epic.

The-most I can say about"Arabesque" is that it is Hol-lywood entertainment at itsgaudiest, most expensive, andmost inane, but it is entertain-ment to rival the boob tube.

The companion feature, so tospeak, at the drive-in was "AThousand Clowns," by HerbGardner, adapted from hisBroadway play. I did watchthis. I recommend that every-one else do likewise, should itwend Its way to the Northfieldscreen. The possibilities forphotography in Manhattanmake for a movie even better,if possible, than the play.

Harriers to make tryfor 5th Straight title

With four consecutive Mid-west Conference championshipsunder its belt, Carleton's crosscountry team will attempt toget off to a flying start towardanother when they meet Lawr-ence University on Saturday.

Lawrence will be the firstloop test for the Carls whotrampled River Palls (Wis.)State last weekend 15-45. Hurt-ing for experience and depththe Vikes shouldn't give CoachBill Huyck's squad any dif-ficulty.

The harriers lost only seniorcaptain Steve Smith from theirchampionship team of last fall.John Bennetts, sole senior onthis year's squad, captains ahost of returning junior letter-men. Bennetts, Bruce Mac-Laughlin (who won the RiverPalls meet, covering the fourmile course in 22:26), BrianAnderson, Giff Smith, John Kil-gour, Chuck Carmichael, LennyLundmark, Jim Woodward, andsoph Mike Steiner form thenucleus of this year's team.

The Carls' strength will beconsiderably weakened by theloss of juniors Steve Smith andDwight House. Both won let-ters last year. Smith, a standoutof last fall and a durable two-miler in track drowned in mid-July in a tragic boating ac-cident. House suffered a recur-rence of an internal knee injuryand will be out for the entireseason".

Huyck is wary of St. Olaf,Beloit, Monmouth, and Grinnellfor they are the teams Carletonmust beat in the conferencemeet. The Carls run against thefirst two as well as Cornell andnon-conference Winona.State intheir dual meet season.

Freshmen interested in crosscountry are urged to contactHuyck as soon as possible. Lackof experience or no previouscompetition in the sport shouldprovide no deterrent.

SUMMER TERM(Continued from Page One)

styled the students as "moreopen and expressive than nor-mal" and claimed that person-ally he "got a lot more out ofthe term" than usual. The set-up was very informal, the classwas small (12), and his at-tempts to encourage discussionwvere "rather successful,"though not tumultuously so.

His students, T i b b e t t sthought, were surprised whenhe didn't instruct like a SundaySchool teacher. To , some itcame as a revelation that therewas more to the Bible than justthe word of God,

Conversely, Forbes Hays, As-sistant Professor of Govern-ment and a 3-year veteran ofthe summer term, commentedthat this year's group was inhis estimation "pretty typicalof the Carleton frosh class ofpast years."

Their performance he foundto be '"quite satisfactory, in-deed very adequate," but he had"been more enthusiastic be-fore" when selection procedureswere more stringent and theaverage participant's abilitiesranked above Carleton's alreadyabove average norm.

Hays viewed the special ses-sion as an "interesting labora-tory for experimentation." Hefelt that the attempts at inter-disciplinary collaboration were"internally enriching if notforced too far."

Soccer-StyleCarls Aim ForBetter Record

For the past week and a halfseveral of Carleton's morenimble-footed males have beenpracticing for the 1966 soccerseason. Captain "Bird" Loomishas been driving the team re-lentlessly in an effort to betterlast year's 4-5 record. Thesquad has looked considerablybetter in early season practicethan it has In recent years.

Carleton fans will be greetedwith an offense differing fromthat with which most spectatorsare _ acquainted. Designed totake advantage of a strong de-fensive team and the talentedfeet of junior Steve Cohlmeyer,who will play a roving centerforward position, the revisedlineup promises to add newpunch to the Carleton attack.

The team is composed pri-marily of juniors with Cohl-meyer, Terry Mace, and MarioSmall spearheading the attack.The defence will be anchoredby a strong three-fullback lineof Doug Campbell, Loomis, andsophomore Bruce Brook.

With Mr. John Dyer-Benneton leave, Mr. Robert DeRyckehas assumed coaching duties.The schedule this year is goingto be tougher than any en-countered by Carleton's kickersin past seasons with the stiffestcompetition coming from LakeForest, Iowa State, and theUniv. of Minnesota.

The first test of the team'seffectiveness will be October 1at 10:30 when they battle Beloiton Carleton's field. If the goalieposition is adequately filled andCohlmeyer can avoid his annualbroken foot, the season shouldbe a successful one.

All frosh interested in play-ing soccer are asked to attenda meeting next week to be an-nounced in the noon bulletin.

The Great Plunge

Frosh, Frosh, FroBy Harry Fuller

All the parents have gone home, you know yourroommates and the kids across the hall with thestereo, and you've written home for the sleepingbag you didn't think to bring with you, telling yourparents something vague about a camping trip ora broken radiator. Already you've heard and foundsome sense in many of the terms that one mustknow to communicate at Carleton: Townie, Arb,Ole, tobook, tofireup, hummaza, Libe, Bald Spot,Tea Room, Muny.

Every small community has its stock of eccen-tric institutions and somewhere you have probablyheard of the ones proliferated on the Carletoncampus: the Co-op flick, the arb party, the beer-ball game, the Riegel dance, the supposed viciousantagonism between all Carls and Oles, and per-haps even the notorious blue-book which sooneror later will impinge upon the academic destinyof every hopeful and apprehensive freshman. Andsoon you'll not be a frosh any more but just someunfortunate being who's several terms behind mostof the other Carls. But there are a few signs thatwill tell when you've really become more of a Carlthan a newly-arrived alien:

1) When you can quote every article in theCarletonian without giving the issue a glance;

2) When you realize that this little society, likethe Great Society, is suffering from rot at the top;

3) When your roommate returns from an eve-ning date just in time for breakfast;

4) When you can sleep in your 8:00 class with-out missing a single mega-cept;

5) When you spend more time in the Libe thanin your room;

6) When the mere mention of a duck-cut, anoodle-poodle plus pups, a toupee in the breakfasteggs or an alpine hat sends you and your cohortsinto knowing guffaws at the expense of somecampus personality;

7) And finally, when you spend Homecomingweekend working on an overdue term paper.
