Curtis Tarr. president of the col
lege, is given annually, “by vote
of the faculty and students, to
that member of the senior class
who best exemplifies those quali
ties—physical, mental, and moral —which go to make up the well-
rounded student.”An economics major. Bruce was
awarded the Spoon last year and
is a member of Mace. He has
served as head counselor to freshmen men this year.
Awarded, for the first time, to
Dr. Chandler W. Rowe, dean of
the college, was the H. K. Bab
cock award, ‘‘organized this year
by a group of Lawrence students
as an expression of their appre
ciation for the faculty, admini
stration, trustees, alumni, or
friends of Lawrence . . . who in
his cooperation with the students
through their governmental, so
cial, or literary activities has
generously given of his time and energy to assist, guide, and ad

kas, president of SEC, made the
presentation.STEVE ELLIOTT was recipi

Memorial Award,” established by
the class of 1958 and awarded to

vice to groups with which he has
been associated,and genuine in

Faculty Affirms Board Resolution,
Forms Committee to Aid GroupsT H E L A W R E N C E C O L L E G E faculty met last Fri
day, May 22, and accepted the official statement on membership restrictions drawn up by the Board of Trustees at their May 18 meet-
ing. The trustee statement or
iginated from a faculty resolution on Greek discrimination.
THE FACULTY endorsed the
trustee statement that ‘‘member
ship in social, academic or other
campus organizations should be
based on individual merit,” and
that “local chapters of national organizations not in compliance
with this policy shall strive to bring about early changes in their
membership requirements.”
In addition, the faculty reaffirmed the trustee statement that changes are expected in the poli
cies of national organizations not
conforming to the Lawrence
policy.
The faculty voted the estab
lishment of a Committee on Mem
bership Selection in Student Or
ganizations. to work with cam
pus groups in eliminating require
ments in their charters and by
laws inconsistent with th» Lawrence policy.
I)R. WILLIAM CHANEY, asso
ciate professor of history, will be
chairman of the committee which
also includes F. Theodore Cloak,
professor of theatre, and Miss
Dorrit Friedlander. assistant pro
fessor of German. The deans will
also work with the committee.Each year during the Greek
rushing period this committee
will issue a statement to SEC for
dissémination to the student body
specifying which groups are still
required to practice discrimina
tion and do not permit full freedom of selection.
The committee will act according to the discretion of its mem
bers. Using the sentiments expressed in the original faculty
resolution as well as those of the trustee resolution as guidelines, it will aid any groups which come
to it for assistance or advice and will periodically check the prog
ress that the individual groups are making.
The committee is operating
under a bylaw of Lawrence college which reads, “The faculty should establish the regulations
and principles involved in the
counseling and discipline of students. subject to the approval of
the Board of Trustees.” The
Board has give its approval in the resolution they passed on May
18. This bylaw was also the mandate under which the faculty
made its original resolution.

A R E L A T IV E L Y small (450) but very appreciative audience was treated to one of the most enjoyable evenings of folk music entertainment this college has ever seen last Saturday, May 23,when the New Ix>st City Ram
blers appeared at Lawrence'*
Stansbury theater.THE RAMBLERS are the pro-
ponents of old timey Appalachian
mountain music, and have, as the
audience found out, one of the most outrageously corney brands
of humor to be found in the business.
The Ramblers, consisting of
Mike Seeger, John Cohen and
Tnwy Schw«ir/, demonstrated a variety of different types of mu
sk' from unaccompanied ballads to modern Itluegrass music, all with consummate skill.
'flicy also demonstrated a truly
amazing skil! on a variety of in
struments. All played the guitar,
banjo and mandolin, while the
fiddle, autoharp and mouth harp also got extensive workouts.
TWO HUN;RAM started with
a rousing instrumental, "The (>!d Hen She Cackled,” done with two

fiddles and guitar. Some of the
other highlights were the solo
numbers, such as “Frankie” by Seeger, "Talking Hard Luck” by
Cohen and Tracy’s version of
"That < i .i/v War ”The Ramblers also did a num
ber of instrumentals, two of which
deserve special note. "Hawkins Rag," a mandolin piece, was
done on spoons, one of the most unusual instruments used in the
concert. "Illack Mountain Kim's”
saw Seeger play his fiddle like a guitar, one of the most difficult of
all the mountain fiddle techniques.
The Ramblers also performed
a large selection of group num-
bers. most noteable of these being the Carter family numbers such
as "When I ’m Gone." The dou
ble fiddle number "Liza Jane” was particularly noteable for Cohen’s singing on the chorus, in
which he gave the audience an
example of the rare Celtic "chin-
music.”
THROUGHOUT the entire con
cert the Ramblers added the most outrageous country humor and
puns in their commentary on the
songs, much to the delight of the
audience.

The Human ElementAs a result of action by the Board of Trustees on
May 18, Lawrence college has its first official statement on organization membership regulations. By defining the policy under which Lawrence organizations, especially Greek groups, are to choose members, “on the basis of individual merit,” the trustees established guidelines within which the entre community can act.
Although the policy itself is a step in the right direction, it must be implemented before it can be called a success. If students, student organizations, faculty members and trustees act in good faith, 196G should be the year in which no groups on this campus are discriminating or being forced to discriminate on any basis other than individuaul merit.
The machinery of the trustee resolution itself, by omission and implication leaves the effectiveness of the policy up to the human element on this campus. By (leleting the deadline date of July 1, 1966 set by the faculty in their original resolution and by replacing it with a two year review, the trustees throw the ball to campus groups rather than to their national organizations.
The omission of a deadline with penalty weakens the urgency of the statement and will probably hamper local efforts to change national policies. The Editorial board, while feeling that the? deletion was extremely unfortunate, believes that the policy can still l»e a success if local organizations increase their efforts for national change.
The faculty of the college can also influence the effectiveness of the policy statement. In affirming the trustee resolution, the faculty set up a committee which can serve effectively both as a guide to local groups and as a checking agency.
If within a two year period student and faculty efforts have brought about deletion of discriminatory clauses from national organizations, the battle will have been won. If however, honest effort has failed to bring results, the college, especially the Board of Trustees, will in good conscience be faced with the se- letion of alternate policies.
If all group keep in mind the importance of the basic question involved, that of human rights, the policy will certainly bear fruit.

SNAFUBy D A V F . B E A M
IN “ W H Y N O T V IC T O R Y ,” Barry Goldwater quotes a certain Charles Nutter, who outlines “ in a way everyone can understand, what communism really is.”
NUTTER’S condemnation ispretty complete — it reads like
a statement of the Declaration of
Imk'pendonce, Mill of Rights, am!
Gettysburg address, but with
every virtue corrupted to its op
posite.
Among the points he names,
Nutter finds that Communism
“ has destroyed . . . the right to vote, to own property, to work where you please, to organize into
labor unions, the right to assem
ble. protest, »»nd change govern-
mcnt by will of the people, has de
stroyed goverment by consent of the governed . . . and the right to
live in freedom.”
Now there may well be some
truth to these criticisms. In ac
tual practice, the Soviet system seems to be so self contradictory
and confused that it is hard to imagine any statement about it
that wouldn’t l>e partly right. Hut
it strikes me that Nutter’s criticisms could apply equally well to
an organization that is dear to every American heart: our m ili
tary.MYSELF approaching the vul
nerable age. I have given the question considerable thought and
find that tin' draft appears no more attractive than would Soviet
citizenship. Recause 1 place a
high value on many individual
freedoms. I find the prospect of
living under either kind of m ili
tary system rather repulsive.Choice of occupation, for in
stance. is one matter that con
cerns me. Our military offer lit
tle guarantee that one will work ¿it a task that accounts for his
preferences or abilities — on this
particular point, probably the
record of the I ’SSR is better than the I S\. I SAF. etc.
Similarly t!>e military makes
little allowance for private prop- ertv. at least for enlisted men
Housing is not especially attractive—comparable facilities sight
ed by a junketing senator in Rus
sia would arouse disgust. The
value placed upon obedience is similar in l>oth systems; author
ity cannot be questioned: the government is beyond reproach.
AS l SKK IT. the Soviet dicta
torship is just an extension of
military prinicples into economic
affairs. Having little taste for the military generally, I d prefer
not to live under communism.Itut in many ways this point of
view is “Un-American.” I am
told that "The Marine Corps Ituilds Men;" that the harshness
and discipline offer benefits every
right-thinking person would welcome.
There is probably not a lx)y in
the country who hasn’t been told
that a hitch in the service would do him some good. Following this
logic. I cannot set' why a society
operating on these principles would not impart similar virtues
to all its members.
ARGUING from the other side,
there are plenty of Americans who look back on their service
days with pleasure. The Ameri- can legion and other groups even
attempt to perpetuate tin' memory of these days. Hut many of these
same men abhor the thought of a “ militaristic" government.
Hoth these viewpoints strike me
as examples of what Aldous Hux
ley calls “double think"—the abil
ity to hold two contradictory ideas
at the same time Either we be
lieve in a military system as a
good way to handle the affairs of men. or else we don’t. My own
mind on this issue was made up long ago. and I think, deep in his
heart, even tin' proudest legion
naire knows where the truth of the matter lies

LettersTo the Editor:
We. the undersigned, agree with
the faculty and trustee moves regarding discriminatory clauses in
the charters of national Greek
societies.
We feel, however, that these
bodies should not stop at control
ling the membership just in the social groups on campus. It should be pointed out that there
apparently are other societies
which blatantly practice discrimination.
The main object of our attack is a fraternity which 'somehow) is held in great local—and nation
al—prestige: Phi Beta Kappa.
In harmony with the faculty
and trustee moves, therefore, we
propose that Phi Beta Kappa duly elect and initiate a Negro (as
being the most discriminated) if»
its membership on the Lawrence
campus before Jan. 1. 1%6. or be automatically revoked of its
charter and denied any further right of serving < ?» the Lawrence community.

‘F r i e n d s o f L a w r e n c e ’
W i l l B e c o m e ‘P a t r o n s ’A B O U T ten years ago a small group of people under
the initiative of Elmer Jennings, then president of the Board ot 1 rustees of Lawrence, formed what they called the “Friends of Lawrence.”
COLMAN SENIOR SALE
There will be a Colman Sen
ior sale on the lawn of Colman
hall from '.M2 a.m. noon on
Saturday, May 39. There will be good buys on books, bed
spreads. ' bookstands, clothes
and other articles.
This group is now being reformed
as the “Patrons of Lawrence.”
THE "FRIENDS of Lawrence”
was composed not only of alumni
of Lawrence but also those who had no other connection than be
ing interested in the welfare of the college. Over the past years, the
group had grown to six hundred
members and had become little
more than a "cultural mailing
list,” . . . they were sent all literature telling of events on- campus.
It was therefore decided that when Lawrence becomes -a uni
versity over this coining sum- inr, this group will be redesignated as the "Patrons of Law-
rance.” Membership will be comprised of those who have given
genuine aid to the college, wheth
er it be material -and financial aid or restricted to an aetive, sincere interest in Lawrence.
Mr. Rosebush, director of alum
ni relations and the member of
the college staff who has been working with the new group, says
that the selection of the "Pa
trons” will require a value judg
ment. Cut as he states, "We have
in this community (the Fox River valley) many people who have a committed interest in higher
education and specially in Law
rence college.”MANY OF these people are
neither alums nor have sent their children to Lawrence. But. Rosebush states, they have "detected
certain qualities and traditions”
here and have "given something of themselves beyond what is or
dinarily expected of such a
group.”“We want to treat them in a
special manner for wh<at they have given to this institution,”
and therefore these people will
be listed as “ Patrons of Lawrence,” Rosebush adds...................
A committee for the present group meets every other month
at a luncheon to which they have invited Lawrence faculty members as guest speakers. This
function will be carried on by the new group.

28 College Seniors to End Lawrence Athletic Careers
By T O D D M IT C H E L L
S P R IN G G R A D U A T IO N at Lawrence concludes athletic participation for 28 seniors. Thirteen of these men were standouts on the football team this year but only four of the 28 competed in two sports, while one competed in three sports.While not always in the lime
light. these athletes deserve cred
it for the desire ami effort they
exhibited as participants for Law
rence.CARI. BERGHULT, a h^rd hit
ting back on the gridiron, was one of three Vike co-captains this
year. He was the offensive key in the Viking backfield as a soph

of injuries. Again this year, Carl

a determined worker in his three

I propose that the very popular athletic great is also a great sportsman, but many people who are good athletes are not good sports as well.
Sportsmanship is a quality sought in every man. First of all, sportsmanship is coupled with a proper mental attitude; however, this attitude is difficult to define. It includes a keen desire to win by hard play and honest efforts; the fellow who makes a mistake and takes his anger out on others does not belong in this category.
Cooperation is also implicit— cooperation with officials, with competitors, with spectators and reporters. The participant who occasionally swears at officials, does intentional harm to his opponent, spits at a fan in the stand and snaps at reporters is not a sportsman and does not belong in competition.
Secondly, a good sport helps build up a mutual feeling of trust and confidence among participants. He is the opponent you are willing to compete against without the benefit of a referee or official. He is the guy who leads the team to victory by providing continuous encourgement, by creating a lively spirit and by giving pointers to others. At the same time, he accepts constructive criticism graciously and strives to improve himself. The good sport is confident — not cocky; he has the honor and pride to play fair.
A third inherent quality of a good sport is acceptance of team leadership. Only a few are selected for this purpose and their role is fortified by the cooperation and support of those who are to be led. The judgement of one key leader— the playmaker. the quarterback, the captain— must be accepted by the others, for the team is dependent upon its individual members; each must do his job to the best of his ability expecting that others will do similarly.
It the quarterback decides to go for the two extra points in a tight game, he has a strategic reason for it. It may be a gamble, but without team cooperation, the risk would hardly prove successful. The guy who complains in the huddle and initiates a hub-bub can rattle the others and shake up team confidence.
Emotional control is one of the most admirable attributes of a good athlete. The competitor who manages to repress extemporaneous profanity or a wild swing of the fist is praise-worthy.
Naturally, everyone wants to win, but a good sport takes a humiliating loss on the chin like a true champ and accepts victory gracefully. The player who can handle questionable calls and decisions by officials with a sense of poise and temper control is a symbol of sportsmanship.
Sportsmanship involves good manners on and off the playing field. It is often the bench warmers who are ejected from the field or courts because of “conduct unbecoming to an athlete.” Razzing the ref is natural but telling him where to go is a two-way proposition.
Consideration for teammates as well as opponents or spectators helps comprise a worthy athlete. Most athletes have some disappointments, some bad calls or bad breaks, but the athlete who is a true sportsman, not just on his good days but on his bad ones as well, is worthy of admiration.
No sport, whether of an individual or team nature, can endure without an air of sportsmanship. It takes courage to accept one’s own mistakes or the judgement of others. Many a ruckus has taken place on the baseball diamond where a pitcher has “dusted” a batter or where the batter has objected to a questionable call. In the emerging battle scene, a few cool-heads have to drag the hot heads back to the dugout. One hot-tempered individual can spoil the enjoyment of many more stable characters.
Not everyone has the opportunity to participate in competitive sports, but those who do will not deny the satisfaction derived. There is nothing more exciting than winning a big event, and nothing which requires as strong a sportsman as losing.
