YMCA's Forum DrawsAvowed Athiest, Minister

Both speakers will be sponsored by the YMCA Korum Series,which has as its topic for the year, "Challenges to the Christian Faith.

In the Tuesday assembly pro-gram, Dr. Scriven will speakon "The Non-Existenceof God."In addition to the coffee hourafter chapel, the Forum Com-

The cost per student forthe program for the year a-broad will be $2,400. This isopposed to the yearly fee of$1,600 paid for tuition, room,and board by members of thisyear's Freshman Class. "How-ever, the fee is not so largewhen what it coven is con-sidered," said PresidentD. G.Martin."The $2,400 provides for an

ocean voyage both ways, ex-penses during Uie homnstayperiod, and tuition, board, androom for the entire school year,including vacations. R does notinclude books, incidentals, andtransportation costs during va-cations."

Martin is very enthusiasticabout the program,and inform-ed sources familiar with theadoption of the program reportthat despite some oppositionexpressed by certain flacurtyand administration memberswhen the plan was first propos-ed, he providedpositive leadership necessary to boost the planthrough the faculty.

Instrumental in getting theplan adopted was Martin's as-surance that he would find out-tide sources to help meet ex-penses of the program, sincestudent fees alone cam by nomeans pay the way. "We arecertain that we will get a grantfrom a foundation to help covercosts not payed by individualstudents." Martin said. He can-not at this time name thatfoundation.

(Martin said that since twofaculty members would go a-broad with the students, itwouldbe necessary to hireaddi-tional professors, probably two."However. Ifeel the plan iswell worth that." said Martin"The benefits that the facultymembers that go abroad willreceive have perhapsbeen over-looked, but I think they helpmake the program very worthwhile for us to have

Despite the factDavidsonnowhas a plan for a juni>r yearabroad, students may continueto enroll in other Junior YearAbroad programs under the

ng regulations f'»r them.Only three students are over-seas with other programs thisyear.

Thus far. 24 students have al-ready made deposits to travelwith Davidson's Junior YearAbroad during the next schoolyear Twelve of them will go toCcnnany. 12 to France.

Students poiag oversea- willliaw probably in early Septem-ber, since the academic year inEurujK' dJMi not begin until thenext month. Through arrange-ments of the Experiment in In-ternational Living, a nonprofitorganization designed for thepurpose of giving students allover the world foreign exper-iences, the students will live forone month in private homes offamilies in France and Ger-many. During this time, thoywill take an intensive course ineither French or German, de-signed to give thembetter facili-ty with the language Uiey mustspeak for almost a year.

After the month, studentswillbegin courses at French andGerman universities. The uni-versity in Marburg, a town ofabout 46.000. has been selectedin Germany; one of three uni-versities in France will beselected for the groupthere.

A Davidson language pro-tester will be with eachgroup:Dr. T. O. Pinkerton will leadHie group in Germany; Dr.Francis Gtiigo will go toFrance. The adopted foreignstudy plan state* of the pro-fessor accompanying eachgroup: "In addition to beingadviser to the students in thegroup,he willcaneVict a sem-inar in seme literary studycorrelated with lecture cours-es el the university, and willalso meet «ech student In-dividually at frequent inter-vals to conduct a continuingsurveillance of his work inether courses."The Davddson professor in

residence will translate thestudent's aocompUahmenta inMsstudies in the foreign univer-sity into one of the followingterms for eachcourse: pass withrecommendation for acceptanceot credit, pass without credit,and fail."

If the professor recommendscredit, then a student's creditsfrom overseas will be enteredon his record here just as any-other transfer credit.Work doneabroad will not count on artudrnt's numerical average.

However, each Davidson de-partment involved in coursesa student takes overseas mayrequire the study of someAmerican text along with for-eign tests: and a student maybe examined onhis work abroadeither by a mailed examination.or after he returns for his senioryear jn September.

The emphasis is on the"may"; it is up to each in-dividual department as tohewit wishes to handle studentstaking its courses abroad

—it

may require no examinationatall.Dr. J. O. Fmbry chairman of

the Foreign Study Committee,

said that students would not bethrough with the program untilabout mid-June. "I expect manyof the students will stay on evenlonger to travel and use theexcellent opportunity they haveto see Europe."

While the students study atthe foreign univery ty, the planstate* that they "will have notpeoial courses set up forAmericans with the exceptionr>f the senvnar BMHag with theDavidsin profesor. They wi!!live as native students and willnot have cny special arrange-

to set them apart."To qualify for the Da\itl->n

program, a student must havean overall average of at least1.75 and at least a 2.0 in thelanguage of the country wherehe wants to study. In addition

Only a possibility this fall, a Davidson-sponsoredjunior year abroad is now a reality. At their meeting lastDec. 10, the faculty approved a plan presented by theForeignStudy Committee making itpossible for a studentto study in either France or Germany during his junioryear under a Davidson program. Informed sources saidthe approval was unanimous.

The invitation to Dr. Scriven,

who is a professor of historyand philosophy of science atthe University of Indian* andwho is a proponent of atheism,is an exampleof the program'saims as expressedby BillFer-ris and Jay Federman, theForum Committee's co-chair-men: "The Forum's programwill confront Davidson Studentswith ideas outside the Judaeo-Chrisban tradition which arenot voiced on campus. The pur-pose of the program is to deep-en student understanding of theproblems faced by religion inthe twentieth century."

Dr. Scriven's academic back-ground includes a PhD fromOxford; terms as rcaoarch as-sociate at the Minnesota Centerof Philosophy of Science and asidatinlprofessorinphilosophyat Swarthmore College; and atwo-semester fellowship at theCenter for Advanced Study inthe Behavioral Sciences atStanford, Calif.

The News and Editorial Voice of Davidson College

If the YMCA's first semesterGreatIssues program wasn'ta scream-ing success,it was at least a good idea.

The series on Africa sufferedprimarily from topic choice and in-articulate speakers, so in drawing upa program for this semester, twoYMCA cabinet members have gone togreat pains to correct both shortcom-ings in a continued effort t>> taringvital iwuec to Davidson

Topics for the coming semesterinclude Secularization, Politics. Arts.Sex. Psychiatry, and Problems of theInner City, and speakers are ot theproven caliber of Will Herberg.

On Tuesday. Feb 4. the Siwill be opened by a Dr. Scriven of theUniversity of Indiana, who will speakon "The Non-Existence of God." Thatnight he will engage in a discussion ofs?me with Dr. Earl MacCormac. pro-fessor of philosophy here.

Such a discussion represents the

very thing we have requested atlength on several different occasions— Davidson professors making educa-tion literally come alive by enteringinto discussions or debates with out-siders who stand for controversialpoints of view

We still have fond niemorie ifwhat Dr. Patterson did ior didn't do)to Fulton Lewis. III. and ol what Dr.Goodykoontz definitely did as hestormed down the aisle that night inChambers Auditorium, not to mentionthe time Dr. Rhode- and Co. took onLeon I'ris to the cheers and boos ofvarious partisan groups in the aud-ience.

The MacCormac-Scriven dinsion should be less violent but no lessinteresting, and in commending theYMCA for their perseverance, we tookforward to more programs of this na-ture.

Dear Editor:The recent action of the

faculty on underachieu'inriithas raised the dusty heads ofseveral old questions. Can anyrule or legal threat force a studenit to improve has grades? Evenif grades improve due to therule, are they a proper indication of achievement?

How accurately are weevaluating our students, forinstance, when we label thewinner of last year's VereenBeli award for creativity an"underachiever?"Something is lacking in our

educational system at Davidson.Communication is seldom es-tablished bntween students anilfaculty Both students and facul-ty have lately expressed a sin-cere concern about our methodsof teaching The younger facultymembers especially feel thatrules cannot force rtudents tochange their study haliitv tlu<the real pnnblnm lies partly intheir own methods of teachingIf their material is made ir-'neating students will take theirown initiative in study.

One student said that his so-called "apathetic" fraternitybrothers are made so because ofthe dry. uninteresting materialof the classroom "I can't be-lieve some of my professors."he swd. "They don't seem hu-man.IfIknew them as paganIcould get interested in thematerial, but they feed us factslike machines. Why should Ibelieve in a course if theydon't'1

This lack of communicationbetween faculty and studentsit a major problem of oureducation here. I speak fromthe student's tide of thefence,but I'mcure the facultyhat the same impression ofu*. Teaching class after classof sleepy, apathetic studentsmust make a professor won-der If we have any spirit leftin our souls.Our educational system is so

formalized that it has split usinto two groups- faculty andstudents. You faculty come toclass in a coat and tie. deliver aload of facts from a podium andleave. We scribble our notes foran hour and rush out the doorwhen the bell rings. This is noeducation.

Our roles here are so regi-

mented thart we have lost lightof our ultimate purpose

—the

pursuit of Truth. In light of thispurpose weall stand ■nhfliln nYou faculty sane as moral ;imlintellectual leadirs bMMhave more experience and ttlucation than we,but you are -mhuman beings with the .satinfrustrations and desires as jnhjistudents. Why can't we realiz,our common purpose and spellourselves to each other with adeeper understanding than thatof a cold classroom lecture.

Our growth here should btoward the "whole man." W<cannot achieve this goal in ;i

Milted, classroom atmosphcrrthat allows only superficial contact between professors andstudents.

An education is fruitier « 111out a depth contact between individual. We must speak toeach other as persons, not a-machines delivering or memorizinR facts.

IFC MidwintersPlans DrawFire

Dear Editor: I

Religtou; bigotry exis!Davidson College. As a Roman ,Catholic and member of a very ,small religious minority on ,campus I feel somewhat quali-fied to make this statement. Inthe three and one-half yearsthatIhave been at DavidsonIhave often been amazed andshocked at the religious attitudeof the students. The dominantattitude of the students towardtheir own religion seems to beone of indifference and some-times even hostility TTieir at-titude toward non-ProtestantChristianity, and particularlyCatholicism is. I have found,intoleranceand scorn.

Intelligent criticism bl not. ofcourse, at all offensive. But thecriticism often heard here isusually basedon absurd miscon-ceptions More than onceIhavehad to explain that Papal in-fallibility does not mean Papalimpeccability that the CatholicChurch does not oppose scienti-fic investigation, and even thatCatholic sermons are deliveredin the vernacular, not Latin.

Just recently Iheard a stud-ent remark that Mrs. John F.Kennedy's religion would pre-vent her being able to remarry.If Ishould say that Baptists

worship John the Baptist orLutherans. M.irtin Luther. Pro-'.esiants would be shocked.Someof the remarks I hear aboutCatholicism are comparable tothis or worse!

What is really shocking is thatthere appears to be very littleeffort made <it Davidson to cor-rect these misconceptions. In-deed at times it appears as ifthere is a deliberate effort onthe part of a very few to ,'

the facts about the CatholicChurch.

For example. I rememberheann;; once a professor relatethat there had once been a fe-male Pope, and that her sexual

'. had become knownwhen she suddenly gave birthto a child while ,n a Papal pro-cession. This story about a fe-male Pope has not been heldfey any reputable historian (Pro-

" or otherwise) It is mere-ly a fable

—but it was presently

to our class seriously as a truehistorical fact And this is notthe only time that the factshave been distorted or poortaste displayed. Let me hastento add, however, that the over-whelming majority of Davidsonprofessors aTe not guiity of thissort of thing.

It seems strange too that Davi idson College has shown no in-

In th" eurrent Catholic-Protestant dialogue and theBi-umemcal movement. At Har-vard. Yale. Princeton tad otherleading educational institutionsCatholic and PmJcvtant scholars jhave made real progre I inmutual understanding. Evennearby Belmont Abbey Collegecontributed to the movementfor Christian unity by having asa guest speakerEvangelist BillyGraham.

But. as far as Iknow. David-son has never invited a Catho'.:etheologian to speak on campus.Except in the Westminster Keliowship then- has never beenanything said about the Ecu-mencal Council, which manyscholars have predicted w.ll beconsidered in the long view ofhistory one of the most import-ant events of our century.

Sureiv. one would expect thatDavidson College, a Christianinstitution, would participate inthe world-widemovement to re-store Christian unity.Idonot expecta Presbyterian

college to grant the CatholicChurch special favors and con-sideration.Ido expect, however,the proper amount of fairne.->.decency- and scholarly attentionwhich is worthy of aninstitutionsuah as Davidson seeks tobe.

The quality of this so-called "en-tertainment

The responsibility for this beau-tiful example of ill-planning and lackof intelligent action lies solely withthe IFC.

Speakingof student actions,I have already experienced astudent riot.

LOOKING BACKThe harrowing holidays turned out to be anything

but harrowing as the Cats rolled to six victories duringthe vacation. On December 14. before a packed house.Davidson caught Jacksonville with a full court press,rolled up a 1B-1 lead in the first few minutes and endedthe (janic. except for some interesting calculations as tothe possible final score, ranging from about a 300 point■coring pace to a 200 point clip, finally ending with 123points. Fred Hetzel scored 40 points despite a 12-minutecold stretch in the second half to establish this year'ssingle game high.

The following Thursday. Furman came to townhobbled by injuries to Larry Peacock and Don Fryc ThePaladin.-- adopted an Interesting offensive strategy forthat game. They lined four of their starters includingtheir pivot DUUl near the half court line and attemptedto isolate Dick Snwler who was guarding David Selvy'Frank Solvy's younger brother' Although this patternproved mildly successful. Davidson had no real troublesweeping Furman off the court.

\e.\t it was Kast Carolina in Norfolk, and in CoachDriesell's own homecoming Fred Hetzel again led theway with 31 points as the Cats scored another impres-sive victory.

By this time, rankings in the national polls werecon-sistent and the 7-0 roundballers returned to their homesfor their own rather abbreviated holiday.

On December SO, n <><><> paving fans saw the begin-ning of a tournament that was disappointing in everyway bul two-Bill Bradley and Davidson.

The opening night saw one of the most fantasticindividual performances ever given, as Bradley scored40 points in every way imaginable,had an unofficial 11assists, and entertained his mother. Bradley and verylittle else carried Princeton over a disappointing, dis-

!organized Texas team. The same night Davidson toppedPennsylvania.

New Year's Eve saw another excellent individualeffort, this time turned in by Terry Holland. In one ofthe most underrated efforts ina long time, Holland held

iBradley to about 23 points before leaving with six min-utes to go because of exhaustion. In his evening's workHolland blocked four of Bradley's shots and almost com-pletely held him off the boards. Holland might have goneall the way had he not consistently led the Davidson fastbreak. While Holland was performing his defensive

1 magic.Dick Snyder was scoring 21 and llet/el 24 to leadDavidson to what many have called its best game sinceOhio State

Of further interest was the fact that Holland. Hetzel.Snyder and Barn Teaguc were named to the all-tourna-ment learn along with the tournament's outstandingplayer. Bradley Don Davidson placed sixth in the voting.None ol this came a> any great surprise to those wholooked on, for other than Hill Bradley there was onlyDavidson.

Following the Christmas tournament.Davidson pick-ed Up a cheetah,several reams ofpublicity and a win overWesl Virginia who was playing what Coach GeorgeKingdescribed as their best game of the year. Before Ilie eyesof Sports Illustrated. "Hig" Bill Ward and Bill Curry.Don Davidson scored 22 points as only he can store them(the court's only 12 inches from baseline to where Dav-idson stops working) but again it was the bread-and-but-ter man Hetzel who scored 80 points, most of them incritical Spots for Davidson's first win over the .Mountain-eer-- since anyone can remember

But it was Tuesday night that Davidson played itsmost painful game to date painful for the tans Thistime it was strictly the radio as the "Cats took the road toLexington, Va.

Burdened by eight charging fouls and 26 turnover-doss of ball without shoti. Davidson managed a 12-poinivictory. Listening to a game by ear is a wonderful tilingEspecially wonderful when so much of the perception ofwhat has happened is represented in the statistics— andsuch statistics! The initial report contained a total ol)()» rebounds which may set a record for a game in whichonly 128 points were scored. These same reports con-tained an inflated number ol shots and in general werenone too accurate The answer seems to be that every-lime a ball was shot, slapped or thrown toward the bas-ket it was first a shot and then a rebound.

Statistics or not. the 'Cats played one of their moreragged games again marked by the clutch shooting ofHetzel and the outstanding defensive play of Don David-son who held Bill Blair to four out of 21 for the evening.Davidson's defensive job was emphasized by the cry ofsome little voice in the background who kept insistingthat Blair not shoot so much.

Perhaps the most heartening development ol theevening was the performance Of two substitutes. Charlie

< Marcon and Bill Beerman Both entered the game in itsfinal moments (the point difference had shrunk as lowas four) in the place of the departed Snyder (five fouls)

and Davidson (five fouls). .Marcon. no stranger to thestarting five needs little description Shooting a tabulouspercentage for the year. Marcon has shown on severaloccasions that he has that "something'

that will make ateam go.

FAME & FORTUNE...Davidson College, we are told, enjoys an excellent

reputation as a liberal arts college 1 really can't dis-agree with this judgement, especially when it refers toa reputation among educators and a terribly localsegment of the generalpopulation.

But quite frankly, people never heard of this schoolin New York. Massachusetts, Rhode Island, etc. Oh, afew guidance counsellors and some old replants from this

'area have heard the word, but other than that Davidsonis like a lamp not lit.

I'm from Washington. D.('.. and most of the conver-sation about Davidson in that area is of the variety."Where is it? ...Oh, yes. Is that Charlotte in SouthCarolina or North Carolina?

Even Dean Rusk didn't help. Some people don'teven know who Dean Rusk is, but those that know arcquite aware that he attended Oxford. Who was the last ,innocent bystander (you actually heard) who offered theinformation that Dean Rusk attended Davidson?

Why should anyone care if the public is ignorantabout the existence of Davidson

'It is toward this ques-

tion that Ihave been plodding. Ibelieve anyone can Methe individual benefits that would accrue through the in-crease in the general familiarity of what the Davidsondiploma means.

The question above,however,is evenmore importantto this college. Each year the admissions office tells usthat more and better students are applying to Davidson.For today this is fine, but the only means toward excel-lence for a school seems strangely related to competitiveathletics— obtaining increasingly better academic andpersonally talented men.

If this college is to get such men, it must competeagainst not only Southern liberal arts collegesbutagainst juniversities and colleges in both North and South. Inshort, for this college to become an excellent school, itmust be prepared to attract the best students through itsfaculty, curriculum and reputation. The school must pro-vide faculty, curriculum ...

Reputations are made over a great many years andreflect a general trend, but fame is a funny thing. Andreputation without fame is local. This Christmas 12basketball olavers. three managers, a couple of coachesand a publicity department brought Davidson Collegeinto many homes in New England, the Southwest and!places where Davidson had not existed.

Speaking from personal experience, in New England.Ifound that people, for the first time sinceIhave travel-led in that area, asked where Davidson was. not to makeconversation but out of genuine interest. The first thingthey wanted to talk about was the basketball team butalmost always the conversation developed into ait intoto learn something about the school.

The Davidson basketball team has made this college jfamous overnight Yet,Iunderstand there arc nmtterinusand questions about whether or not Davidson can handle.such publicity. Idon't understand these questions. Whycan't this college handle the publicity from basketball? ;Almost without exception Ihave found that in everypublicity announcement. Davidson basketball and aca-demics have been tied together. People in other areashave connected the two together (from my experience).

Davidson still has an admissions committee with itsown procedure. This committee. Ibelieve, will safeguardthe college from the rush of unqualified Northern andWestern students.But why would this college be particul-arly proud of the fact that only 1000 men apply hereeach year?

How will the added publicity injure this college?In fact, how can the added publicity do anything butbenefit the college? If one qualified student comes toDavidson because his curiosity was whetted by a basket-ball team, then the college will have gained somethingmore than a sense of pride and identification from thisbasketball team.

The admissions committee may have to work harder:Also they may have more from which to select— but Idon't think they'd mind.

NO NOE...Tuesday night Lexington, Va.. turned out en masse

to get a look at a winning team. Understandably theywere not for Davidson. Tuesday night the whole cadetcorps at VMI turned out to see a winning team. Under-standably, they made a lot of noise.

Tuesday night Davidson won its eleventh straightgame, and in doing so raised an interesting question—what will a home game be like in Johnston Gymnasium?

This year three games have been played in the cam-pus gym. At none of these games was the whole studentbody present. The crowds were held down due to the-vacation schedules.

In the near future.The Citadel will play at Davidsonbefore the whole student body, dates and visitors. Theobvious problems of seats, tickets and crowds are theworry of the athletic department. Another situationarises, however, from the conditions of a crowded gymfull of Davidson supporters. This is a simple matter of (courtesy. A visiting team, its staff and referees demanda respectful treatment. Anything less can only be describ-ed as "bush."

Respect is nothing on which you can put your fin-ger. More accurately there are things which it is not.]Throwing objects or in any way intimidating either of- :ficials or players, it is not. Constant harassment of offi-:rials and coaches by organized cheering sections, it is;not. Having a band play directly behind the opposing jteam, it is not. ,. ...

None of the above "nots" have anything to do withyelling, cheering, clapping or just saying nothing, butavoiding them represents a certain attempt to allow 10men to play a basketball game.

In South Carolina before Christmas, if all reportsare true a highly partisan crowd tried to 'help theGamecocks beat Duke. The resulting opinions in thepress and among neutral observers as a result of thisgame, speak for themselves. ...

At the present time Davidson has a winning teamquite definitely of championship caliber. It would bedisgusting indeed if the reputation and quality of thisteam were given a public whipping due to the infantileand ungracious behavior of a group of people whosegreatest fault would be that they wanted to win.

OH YESJustas thereferees deserve therespectful treatment

from all spectators, so does the spectator deserve theopportunity of watching a basketball game, a game force-fully and surely called but not made burlesque by theactivities of the official. .

If the clowning must take place, how about duringtime-outs? Or betterstill,let the players do the clowning.After all they are the ones playing the game and it s stillcalled basketball.

For the Davidson wrestling team, what promised tobe a season of prosperity has suddenly turned into aseason of despair. Opening losses to VMI and Carolina,injuries and graduation all seem to foreshadow ill forthe Wildcat matmen. With a brief, melancholic commentCoach Charlie Parker looked to the rest of the season:"It looks rough from here on out."

Tonight the 'Cats tangle withDuke, an always formidableop-ponent—whether in basketballor wrefthng. The match will beheld at Dunham.

Much t« Davidson's disadvan-tage, there will be two startersout of action. Dick Wray. 137pounder whose .services willalsobe lost at semester when bebecomes a special student, willnot wrestle because of an in-jury. The He IHeaded Terror,Hugh Allen, will sub for him.

Sam Glasgow, who showedpromise in the 147-pound classwish ■ win and a close loss inhis first two matches, is alsoout with an injury. With no re-placement available, the 'Catswill probably forfeit-that class.

Returning as a starter in the177-pound class will be EricNdchols, who has been suffering

from a neck injury. It is notknown, however, whether ornot Nichols will br able towrestle the remainder of theseason. And Joe Jones. thestarter in the 157-pound class,will be lost from (ho team atsemester when he graduates.

But there have been somebright spots in the genrrallygloomy wrestling picture. MikeBisard and Bally Mills, livingupto expectations, have won boththeir matches. And others MMhus Glasgow have looked goodin their wins and losses.

Follow ins the match withDuke tonight, the "Cats willmeet N.C. State here next Wed-nesday. The match promises tobe a good on<\ with the fresh-men meeting the State fresh-men before the varsity's tangle.

In a session before televis-ion cameras Wednesday mom-ing, McGill discussed subjectsranging from the role of thechurches in the civil rightsbattle to police brutality. Mc-Gill said that up until twoyears age churches bad not"grasped the n**d to partici-pate" in civil rights. "With afew notable exceptions," hemaintained, "churches' re-sponses have been terriblylateand generally lackingpur-post."In answering a query on po-
