A ninety minute class isgiven each day with membersof the Broughton staff presen-ting lectures about once aweek. "Here the students workas aides, attendants, andtechnicians while servicing thewards,"said Workman.

"They are rotatedamong atleast four different activities.This can involve the ad-missions ward, where thepatient is diagnosed; activetreatment areas movingtoward an expected earlyrelease; community placementwhere transfer to a nursinghome is likely; token economyareas concentrating on specialbehavior modifications; orpossibly the youth activitiescenter."

Students have close contactwith the Broughton staff.Besides a weekly lecture, Dr.Workman said, "We try towork each student into ah on-going therapy group at thehospital. This gives them aclose contact with theprofessionalstaff."

Workman estimated that"about a third of the par-ticipating students are in-terested in graduate work inpsychology.

22 Davidson studentsengaged in an experientiallearning situation called theExtern Program over springbreak. The Extern /programallowed these students to wit-ness first hand the workings ofvarious occupations in which

theyhad a career interest.Director of Experiential

Learning Kenneth Wood con-ceived of the Extern programas a way to acquaint studentswith careers they might be in-terested in by setting them upin internships withAlumni.

"Theuse ofDavidson's alum-ni is an untapped educationalresource," said Wood. The

fact, each of the alumni thatcould not acceptan intern weregoing to be away from theirusual place of business duringthe time of the program," saidSummers.

The evaluations written bystudents weresupportive of theprogram too. Tony Thomason,who worked with TalbertBryant wrote: "I wouldn'ttrade the experience foranythinginthe world.SuzieandKenhave done a fabulous job.The program could have beenhalf as goodandstillhave beenwell worth the time."

From the positive feed-backcame some discussion of ex-panding the program. The onlytime that an expandedprogram could be institutedwould be in the summer. Plansfor such a program are beingconsidered.

During the past several years, thecollege has granted $9,000 annuallytowards the funding of the ArtistSeries, thePublic Lectures Series,andother relatedprogramming.

With this supplemental money, theCollege Union has been able to bringto Davidson such attractions as Mar-celMarceau, IndianAmbassador T.N.Kaul, Ralph Nader, William F.Buck-ley Jr., Senator Fred Harris, DickGregoryand BuckminsterFuller.

Such high quality programming isthreatenedhowever, in the 1975-76 en-tertainment schedule because the Ad-ministration has decided to discon-

tinue its funding of artist and lecturesseries.

The Administration states that it iscommitted to improving the ex-tracurricular life of Davidson studen-ts.

Yet, in. its decision to withdraw$9,000 from the Union budget, the ad-ministration has denied the collegecommunity the excitingentertainmentthatit hasenjoyed inthepast.

We urge theadministration to rever-se its budgetary decision concerningartist andlectures series funding andthereby help to sustain an acceptablelevel of entertainment programmingfor theDavidsoncommulnity.

Balancing the social lifeThe programming of social ac-

tivities on campus last weekendtypifies the need for closer coor-dination of Patterson Court andCollege Union entertainment plans.With no fewer than three parties onPatterson Court, one concert, and onedance, each activity had to competewithseveralothers for anaudience.

Although we appreciate the alter-natives offered students during onesmall block of time, subsequent dryspells intheDavidson sociallifearguefor better coordination of such ac-

tivities.Further cooperation between these

two major programming groups canonly lead to a more balanced sociallife and better value for studentspaying for professional entertainment.We strongly urge Patterson Court tosend a representative to all meetingsof the College Union Board and viceversa. We look for each group to com-plement the unique programs of theother rather than continue programswhich compete with each other forstudent timeand attention.

We strongly urge members of thecollege community to contributefinancially to CROP and also to gowithoutfood for one day.

Society for sponsoring these moves tohelp alleviate world hunger. We arealso particularly appreciative of thegestures of support from ARA FoodDirector Ron Scott and DavidsonCollege Presbyterian Church mem-bers.

CROP supportAt a time when.most Davidson

students are simply concerned withthe quality of their three-meals-a dayplan at ARA Slater, the Good Fridayfast and fund raising activities forCROP offer opportunities for raisedconsciousness of hunger outside of theimmediate Davidson College com-munity.

Student billof rights

Quick, stop the presses! Ifound these journal entriessemiburied in HobartMemorial Park.Ihope those it may concern

can still counteract themachination of this evil plan.This is obviously the'issue ofone deranged and Itake noresponsibility for it.

October.Arise , comrades; the time

hascome.How many times canwe hear our fellow students jus-tify their academic existenceby saying "Davidson has thehighest pre-med acceptancerate of any college in the coun-try!"

i* j/ j**- x "jf-

The SGA Senate decision this weekto put Mr. Kline on retainer for legalservices was a positive move for in-suring the rightsofDavidson students.The revised bill of rights, now beingdrafted in committee after initialrejection by the Board of Trustees,demands the legal expertise of alawyerrepresenting student interests.

At first glance, the hiring of alawyer to protect basic student rightsmay seem unnecessary. Yet basicrights students have as Americancitizens such as freedom of the press,freedom of assembly, and others onceconsidered inalienable are now being

challenged. We must assert thatstudents do not give up their con-stitutional rights by attending aprivate college suchas Davidson.

Recognition of students as adultmembers of this community, respon-sible for their actions, guaranteedtheir freedoms, stands at the basis ofany improved relationships betweenstudents, faculty, administration, andother members of the college com-munity.

We commend the Senate for this ac-tion, and we look ahead with con-fidence to the acceptance of thestudent bill of rights by all groups inthecommunity.

able soul-rock rhythms. Han-cock is not as showy with hisarmada of electrickeyboard in-struments as onHeadHunters,and the album benefits fromthis fact.

The strongest performanceon the record comes from Bennie Maupin on the saxaphone.He is featured inseveral solos,where he accomplishes amasterful blend of post-Coltrane technique whilekeeping inline with Hancock'ssoulbeat.

Hancock himself has learnedto use the electric instruments

ByERNEST GLENNEditor

Albums Reviewed:THRUST-Herbie HancockGET DOWN WITH IT- MilesDavisMYSTERIOUS TRAVELLER-Weather Report

These three albums typifythe eclecticism of modern jazz.Manyof themusicians on theserecords have played in thevarious bands of Miles Davis,andwith other musicians. Andin the cases of these mostrecent releases of these verypopular jazz groups, theteacher takes a back seat tohispupils.

With Thrust,Herbie Hancockhas put out another record thatcan compete with the rock andsoul market. Head Hunters,hisearlier success, establishedHancock as one of the topmusicians reaching largeaudienceswith jazz.

Thrust maintains a strongjazz flavor amongallthedance-

more lyrically, no longer usingthe record for a show-piece ofhis ability to change dials. Butat times the record still soundslike an exhibition of bloops,whines andburps.

Side one of the record is thestronger, featuring Maupin onlong solos in Spank-a-Lee andButterfly. Hancock'skeyboardsfurnish rhythm and texturebut little melodic line. He doesnot blend acoustic with electricpiano like Chick Corea hasdone. Whenhe played intheoldMiles Davis band Hancockshowed great talent on the

acoustic piano. His talent inthis field has been abandoned,at least temporarily, to otherfine musicians like Corea andMcCoyTyner.

Joe Zawinul, founder andkeyboardist for WeatherReport, also rose to famethrough the ranks of the MilesDavis career. Zawinul andsaxophonist Wayne Shorterboth played on Davis' albumBitchesBrew, one of the firstoftheexperimental jazzrecords.

Weather Report's latestalbum, Mysterious Traveller,redirects the avante gardeback to rock oriented sounds.And does it very successfully.Nubian Sundance and the titlesonguseatonality and multiplerhythms along with anoveriding continuity of beat tomake these songs danceablewhile avoiding triteness.

This album uses the in-dividual textures of each in-strument better than Hancock.Blackthorn Rose blends the

solo beauty of Starter's saxwith Zawinul on acoustic pianoto produce a softness hard tofind inmostof thenew jazz.

As inThrust,WeatherReporthas combined the solo effectcharacteristic of jazz with theensembleperformanceofrock.

Miles Davis needs to learnfrom those he has taught in thepast.His newalbum carries theatonality and arhythm of Bit--ches Brew to its absurd end.Most of the record lacks anytype of continuity for thelistener tograsp.

One song on the doublealbum, Honkey Tonk,sets up abackground beat with theguitar, forming a basis forMiles' threadlike trumpet solo.But the rest of the songs onthe record are not so suc-cessful.

Miles plays the organ on thisalbum as well,but exhibits lit-tle talent at this instrument.SongslikeHeLovedHimMadlyconsist of nothing more thantwo or three chords sustainedfor minutesata time.

The unfortunate thing aboutthis record is that Davis playsthe trumpet very seldom. Andwhenhe does the sound is onlyan anemic echo of the horn onBitchesBrew.

HerbieHancock plays on thisalbum, as does Keith Jarrettand John MacLaughlin. Themassing of such talentsdestroys their individual skillsin thisinstance. Miles needs tolearn from his pupils and getback inthe vanguard.

Cat runners race to first season winStaff Writer

ByMARK POSTOVE

The Davidson track teamopenedits 1975 season thispastweek with two home meets infour days. The Wildcats fell toa strong Appalachian team, 99to 64, on Saturday, but cameback on Tuesday to win atriangular meet with High

Point and Wake Forest.Davidson finished with 69

points to edge High Point's 67total. Wake Forest came in3rdwith 56.

Appalachian's depth spelledthe difference in the openingmeet onSaturday. They took 10firsts and 16 seconds in the 19events, while Davidson grab-bed 9 firsts but only 3 seconds.

11 running events to HighPoint's 52 and Wake Forest's27.

Buck Farrow recorded hisfirst "Davidson win in thesteeplechase,after "Bozo"BillCole had performed a swandive into thewater jumpon thefirst lap.' Connors took first inboth the100 and 220, andbrought homethe baton inthemile relay for a2nd place finish which sealedthemeet victory.

Davidson travels to Rich-mond Saturday for a meet ontheir new $250,000 track. Rich-mond has 5 assistant trackcoaches, which gives some in-dication of thestiff competitionthe Cats must face. On Thur-sday, the team again hits theroad for a meet with Catawbaand Campbell Colleges.

On Tuesday it was againDavidson's performance in thefield events which led the way.In fact, over v4 of their pointswere scored in just two events,with new school records beingsetineach.

Van Meter cleared14'3" in the pole vault to betterhis old mark of 14'. Davidsonalso took 3rd and 4th in thatevent. Rixey broke hisown record in the high jumpwith a leapof 6'5M>" to lead a1-2-3sweep there.

John Stanfield won thejavelin and placed 2nd in thehigh jump, while Harding tooka second and third in thelong and triple jumps.In the seven field events,

The field events were thebackbone of Davidson'sstrength in the meet,providing36 points ineight events, whileonly 28pointsaccrued from the11running events.

Reggie Harding wasDavidson's only double winner,taking both the long and triplejumps. Woody Van Meter wonthe pole vault, while EppaRixey jumped 6'4" to capturethe high jump.

Jeff Diller and AllenSchaberg carried the load inthe weight events, withDiller winning the ham-mer and placing 2nd in theshot. Schaberg took 2nd in thediscus and3rd in both the shotand hammer.

Bechner also won the 880 in1:58.5, while Greg Love,despiteonly three daysof prac-tice, took the high hurdles in14.9 seconds.
