As Joe Howell. chairman ofthe Delta Circle of ODK. willpoint out in chapel Monday, itis hopedby the membersof ODKthat this questionnaire will begiven "sincere thought and considoration" by each senior.

The results of this questionnaire will be analyzed by thestudent and faculty mcm!>ODK and will be presented tothe trustees later in the springin the form of definite recom-mendations concerning the content and requirements of thepresent Davidson curriculum.

some length last week, we hope theywill see fit to drop the faculty oath.

Also of much interest will be thenew statement of purpose, which, ifadopted, we hope to be allowed toprint. The proposed statement passedthe faculty with no dissenting votes,but two professors abstained, feelingthat such a statement would be soinadequate as to be meaningless.*****

Two years ago when the Texas foot-ball team was 8-0 and headed for aNational Championship. TCU. with itsusual sorry record, upset Texas 6-0on a 50-yard Gibbs-Iles pass play.

After the game, the disgruntledTexas coach. Darrell Royal, made acomment which applies not only tolast night's game but to most of thehigh points in Furman's basketballhistory: "TCU's like a cockroach— it'snot as much what they eat as whatthev fall into and mess up."

So much for that— Beat Dook

We were highly pleased to hearDean Johnston's comments in "OpenEnd" concerning the inadequacy ofthe present overall curriculum frame-wont, which was set up in 1939. afantastic twenty-five years ago.

As the Dean explained, that frame-work classifies the curriculum intothree unnatural divisions. NaturalSciences. Social Sciences, and Lan-guages, whereas most liberal artsschools use the classifications Natur-al Sciences. Social Sciences, and Hu-manities.

Dean Johnston also pointed to theobvious need for an focretted inde-pendent study program.

We do not feel that either problemK insurmountable We therefore lookforward to seeing the faculty and ad-ministration act In the near future toremedy both inadequacies cited f>vtin*Dean, and we can think of no morefittine place for such action to origin-ate than the office of the Dear, ofFaculty, Who Is also chairman of thepowerful faculty curriculum commit-tee. * " * " "

tudenl observed in the same' (pen End" discussion that Geogra-phy 51. Meteorology, has been in th \catalog for the four yean he has beenhere, and vet has not been taught dur-ing that time because the Geographyprofessor does not consider himselfqualified to teach the subject.

Dean Johnston\s reioinder to thequestion as to why the course hadbeen left in the catalog when it ob-viously was not being taught was thathe would have been happy to removethe course from the catalog if the pro-fessor had only requested same Suchstrikes us as amazingly loose coordina-tion between faculty and Dean ofFaculty, particularly in a school thissize. *****

Asterisk:ADVICE TOTHE BEGINNER:

HOW TOMASTER SKIINGIN ONE FATEFUL WEEKEND

BY RICK VON UNWERTHStaff Skiier

Iii the undulteogtng posthide after Mid-term Examillations and the month or so before the new semestertightens the academic screw, the student casts an in-souciant eye about for relaxing diversion. MayIsuggesta quiet weekend on skiis.

Nothing breaks up the monotony ot walking toChambers and back to the dormitory, of sleeping everynight in the same austere cubicle, of standing up andsitting down in the same old way day after day quite likea few carefree hours on the slopes.Isubmit that nothingwill be quite the same after a plunge or two down a glis-tening, snow-greased mountain.

Perhaps the soundest argument in favor ofskiing for the novice lies in its basic simplicity.Masterinq the tow rope demands some concentra-tration, but once you're up there getting down isappallingly easy. The sportsman simply points theforward edge of one or more skis toward the lodge,plants his chin firmly into the wind, and thrustswith his poles. Save for the initial flourish, thesepoles ttv superfluous. The smooth-talking Scan-dinavian lifeguards rely heavily on them for drama-tic effect, but for our purposes they are relativelyuseless.

The most graceless of rubes should be ready for thee at least by noon if he starts, say. at ten

o'clock A turn or two down the nursery ramp, perhapshilf an hour mastering the rudiments of form on theadolescent slope, and it's only a matter of time beforeyou note with chagrin the absence of a decent jump.

The prospective skiier is often deterred from lastingthe glory of that first conquest by admonit'ons of danger,bv injury statistics, by mortality probabilities. And thesefrom the mouths of those have supposedly "been there

"

"I hear they hauled six away in the sled yes-terday," they say, or "Friend of mine went up there amonth ago .. . never came back poor kid." Thesepeople have simply experienced the triumph insnow-plowing to the bottomand just don't want toshare.

The whole trick is in getting down fast. Get on themediocre slope and they'll try to get you to turn backand forth— piddle around with "stem turns" and 'tra-versing" and beginners" shams like that. If you headdirectly for the hero's slope, people will realize youknow your way around and stand respectfully aside. Thenyou can really feel that crisp wind whistle past your ears—that's what skiing is.

The surprising thing is that a weekend of skiing isquite inexpensive.Skis rent for about $8 a day.slope feeis a dollar or two. meals and room will cost in the neigh-borhood of $10. In fact, about the only major expenseIremember was $144.37 for four days in the hospital.

StudentsLiftLibrary BooksInHonor Concept Violation

BY HOWARD ARBUCKLEHonor Court Chairman

In theory and in practice a student enters Davidsona gentleman. The college receives him as a gentleman,treatshim as a gentleman, andresolutely refuses to knowhim in any other character unless he proves himselfunworthy of this trust. This trust is the foundation ofDavidson and the basis of the Honor System. This trustoffers privileges and responsibility. All too often it iseasier to possess the privileges and ignore the responsi-bility.

Roberts 1Dear Editor:

Observer staff writer HannahMiller's "Atheist Invades A Citadel Of Piety" tells about theEnglish atheist Michael Scriventalking to students at DavidsonCollege under the auspices of itsCollege YMCA unit.

Having formerly been inYMCA work for 11 years and amember of Mecklenburg Presbytery for I!" years. Ihang myhead in shame.

Moses learned 3,500 yearsago that the venom of anatheistic snake bite could becured only by Ihe antidote ofthe truth found in Jesus theChrist. Much of what is cur-rently taught by the YMCA,Davidson College and Presby-terians Is not truth; and Dav-idson students are net Immunetherefore to the venom of anatheistic anti-Christ, anti-God personality.

Alfred L.Roberts

WilcoxDear Editor:

Surely there must be thoseamong the alumni of DavidsonCollege who felt a sense of outrage and shock when an atheistappeared, by invitation, on thecollege campus. Ihave lookedand listened, but no voice anal,raised in protest or criticism.Iam an elderly woman and a

Presbyterian, soIfeel constrainad to voice a protest, for itseems to me that a question oflong ago is pertinent at thistime: Who is on theLord's side"

In view of the unfavorablepublicity had by Davidson concernitiK the effect of rt'ligio'islor irreligious) teaching. onemight well ask what If bfinntaught and. again, what arethose In authority trying to do?I'row that they are exponents ofacademic freedom? Or that

they h.»\c nuts' as someone soeloquenth expressed it?

lonqDear Editor:

Someone has said about ournational troubles. "It is not theMriSI of incidents, indie,itinufailure, but the wrong policywhich created, in the beginning,the condition of failure."

Reflection on this principlemakes me wonder as to iheScriven episode at DavidsonCollege.

Never once, as a resident ofmetropolitan YMCA's. didIhearthat one should prove deism bydiscourses on atheism, or provethe ultimate of faith. Christ ism.by such a devious approach.Iactually at times heard there

the basic proposition, stated byChrist, that "no man knoweththe Father, but the Son. and heto whom the Son will revealhim" (Luke 10:22).I know the Clio Sophs at

Princeton invited in "dubiousdiscussers of doubtful mensures." but I never heard oftheir Scrivening to the sameextent. Perhaps the images ofMcGpsh. Patton and WoodrowWilson forbid such blatant extremes there And do not thebenign faces of Henry Louis

Roberts: 2IV.ir Fditor:If all students at Davidson

wore born again Christians andwith many years of Christianexperience, in some cases theirfaith might conceivably be rein-forced by a limited amount ofatheistic propaganda : though do-ing damage to others.

But many Davidson studentsare not born again Christians,and much of the teaching theyreceive at Davidson is not of anature to immunize them againstatheist or Communist poison.Under such conditions the ap-pearance of atheist and com-munist speakers at Davidsonwill be disastrous to many aninexperiencedboy and girl- andit may turn out to be your boyor girl.

Colleges are strengthened byencouraging Communist andatheistic propaganda if it is thepurpose of such colleges to undermine Christianity by not onlyleaching evolution, false economics and polticial theories,false and unproven criticisms ofthe Bible, but by promoting andencouraging the presentationand thus the spreadof atheisticand communistic ideology.

FreedomGoneWildWhat place does an atheist

have as an invited speakerat achurchrelated college?

What valid reason can therebe for the YMCA unit of achurch- related college invitingan atheist tospeak on "The NonExistence of God?"

The answer to both questionsin an emphatic. None!

Will immature students (andwe do not use the word derogatorially) find such a lecturehelpful? Can such « "challengeto Christian faith" really contribute to the strengthening ofChristian faith? We think not

The Bible is very explicitabout atheists: "The fool hathsaid in his heart. 'There is miCod'

also makes many pointed observations about fools: "A foollakes no pleasure in understanding but only in expressing hisopinion" fProv. 18:2).

But Iwill be in Durham Saturday and 1 will be proudto be there. And if any of our readers are interested in

reading about accomplishments, please note the following.

FAME AND HORATIO ALGER ...On February 6. Coach Charlie Parker— a Davidson

institution after his 26 years with Wildcat athletics-wasnamed to the Helms Hall Amateur Wrestling Hall ofFame The roster of the organization includes a total of81 distinguished wrestlers, coaches, and contributors tothesport.

In receiving the award,Parker adds to an impressivelist of credentials which he has accumulated over hiscareer Hetapaat chairman of the N.C.A A Rute..Com-mittee is in his fourth year as editor of the N.C.A.A.Wrestling Guide; was Coach of the 1963 U.S. Olympicand National A.A.U. Wrestling Committees; and is acertified international referee and judge.

Looking back over a long and successful career.Coach ParkeV ranked his selection by the Helms Founda-tion alone with being named coach of the U.S. Pan-AmeriSeJm last year as "my biggest thrills in sports."

'Wrestling consists of 60 per cent desire and 40 percent conditioning."said Parker, "But new techniques areSortant to" Icouldn't even make the team now .f 1wrestled likeIdid in college.'

Parker joins a select group of 32 coaches who havebeennamed to the Hall of Fame. From his own viewpointhe hadUokingly estimated it would take "50 years atleast" to receive the honor.

It has been over a quarter of a century since CoachParker came to Davidson, but his formula for winning

athletics hasn't changed. He noted in closing "You'veSot to have a little something extra for wrestling. Thisfs the oldest sport in the worfd, and it's just natural forone man to want tobeat another."

j College IncreasesI Electrical Voltage

The college is connecting itsi electrical system to a higher1 voltage. This campus change

over, only one part of a transi-i tion that will affect the entire■ town of Davidson, has required, ditches tobe dugnear Chambers

Building and the library for the■ installation of the necessary

cables and wires.Grover Meetze. directorof the

i physical plant and a memberofthe Davidson Town Council, ex-plainedthat Diike Power Co. has. offered this higher voltage formore efficient use of existinglines and for more power. Theeconomic advantages of the im-proved system justify the con-version expense, hesaid.

While making these changes,the college has also upgradedits wholeelectricalsystem. Con-duits have been installed forpossible voltage increases in thefuture. A new sub station willsoon allow the college tooperateeven when power fails for the

i rest of the town.Trees along the edge of the

campus have been trimmed toaccommodate new lines: sometrees have been removed. Else-where in the town new poles,lines, and transformer-; have

|been installed.The new system is scheduledj to go into operation on March

2i» after an outlay by the collegeof approximately $9,000.

YMCA Will DirectSpecial Vespers

Vespers this week will be con-ductedby the YMCA as part ofthe World Day of Prayer.RonnieReese will give a short sermonand other participants will beLanier Burns, Hank Ackerman,Joe Howell, the Johnson C.Smith Choir, and the DavidsonCollege Male Chorus.

According to YMCA PresidentHowell. the program will beshort and geared to the student.It will be an attempt to breakaway from traditional prayersand make the service meaning-ful to those who hear it.

Converging from thousands of scattered toy villages., upon the crowded streets of new cities.Africans are encountering social changes which elude Mmpie generalization. For the first timethey encounter POSSIBILITIES,but lacking these thenwKes they must demand. Can it be sur-prising that when these people see their own bnportance .tnew through the eyes of strangers, yetdo r.ot know ha n what others haw. they turn in frustration and confusion to violence forthe goods and dignity they had expected independence to bring?

Johnston held. "This is an un-ti natural division M<W liberalt-

arts colleges have their divisions-, include natural science, social0 science, and the humanities.s Here, you don't have to take1 any social science (such coursesf as sociology, political science.

etc.).Therefore.Ifeel 've shouldrearrange our divisions so wecould require studies in areasof social science. Ibelieve thatmost of the problems of yourgeneration have to do with questions raised in the studies of thesocial sciences."

Johnston next took the sideofmany students in the desire formore chances for independentstudy here. "I feel we ought todo a great deal more than wenow do in the field of independ-ent study. I think that everystudent ought to do some sort ofindependent study in his majorfield."

iThe dean said that he felt ,

every student, not just those <with high grades, could gain ,some benefit from independent .work guided by the faculty.

Johnston said that tlie nearest ;

thing Davidson now has to in- tdependent study is its Honors <Program. This program is gen- Ienilly limited to students of his- ttory or English. Johnston be-lieves that m little emphasis isput on the Honors Program now .for two reasons: i

st "Participation in the programit has been extra for faculty mem-M bers. They have done the workm without additional compensation

by the college while carryingregular loads. The other reason

:1 is that n great many depart[1'

ments don't feel that the pro-'s gram is the way to get at what*'

they want to do."s.0 In summary. Johnston said,s that he would criticize the pres,_ ent curriculum at Davidsonfromj two standpoints. "On the onee hand, it lacks breadth in social1 sciences and on the other itlt lacksdepth in the major."r Johnston also said during the

question period following the''presentation of his Ideas, "Ithink that minor requirements. ought lo be abolished. WhatIamproposing now Is that thisbe done and that the extra

ihours be used to expand themajor lo thirty hours or thatmore hours be used for elec-

\ lives."f Johnston stressed that by

"proposing" the idea of elimin-ating the minor requirementsheonly meant "Iam talking it up;ind trying to get other people'sopinions. Ido not know yetwhether or not it will come upfor ci vote before the faculty."

Johnston also launched intosurprising criticisms of suchthings as Vespers and the lackof books in the library in re-sponse to questions from stud-ents.

The dean said that he did notthink the lack of books in thelibrary would "be a sufficientenough reason to keep us fromestablishing a program of independent study." But he added.giving administrative recognition of the fact the library isundersupplied with books, "Ingree that the library needssome more books." |

As to the question of com- 'pulsery religion at Davidson,Johnston said, "I crlticlied IVespers in my day, and Icriticize it now lo a certainextent." The dean never didsay what he meant by his lastfour words. (

In answering a question byStudent Body President JohnSpratt. Johnston said, "I think itwould be all right to have stud- s

ents for advisors of the Curri-culum Committee (of which 1Johnston is chairman)." He Isaid, however. "I don't think

"they should be voting membersof the committee."

Thus. Johnston apparently Jopened the door for Spratt tomove toward placing severalstudents on the important com-mittee in an advisory capacity.

Johnston refused to answerBill Ferris' question: "Whywill Prof. Tilley (W. H.) not ,be allowed to teach here nextyear?" He would only com-ment, "Dr. Tilley came hereon a two-year contract. Thattime is now up."
