Two hundred and three freshmen stalled down Patterson Fraternity Court thisafternoon as Greeks rushed out from their 12doorways to greet them. This representsapproximately 73 percent of the Class of 1968.

Cheers went up seconds after 3pm when the first freshman indicated hischoice and continued until pledging closed at 4:30. The pledgingperiod was precededby a period of silence which went into effect last night at 10 o'clock. No rusheecould have further contact with any fraternity man until the close of pledging thisafternoon.

Today's pledging brought to a close one of the most hectic Rush Weeks in re-cent years as both semester classes and rush parties conflicted throughout part of theweek. The first series of parties ran through Wednesday night with two nights of re-dates Thursday and Friday.

The 73 percent figure is slightly smaller than the comparable figure last fallwhen 195 or roughly 75 percent pledged fraternities at the conclusion ofRush Week.On the other hand, the figure is slightly larger than the 39 percent figureof two yearsago when 182 freshmen pledgedon Pledge Saturday.

■ The 1964 edition of the college community reveals two new faces in the hus-band-wife team of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Nicholls. Already known to many as the own-ar of a variety store on the lower end of Main Street, Nicholls now manages the com-bined book store-student store in thenew wing of the Union; his wife is the new sup-ervisor of dormitories.

Nicholls, a reformed "damnYankee" by admission, has liv-ed in Davidson a little overa year and in Charlotte forthree and one-haH years provious to that. His work in retail sales with Franklin

me." said Nicholls. "but I'mcatching on pretty fast." He

went on to note that there havebeen no basic changes in theoperations of activities in theUnion wing. "We want this tobe a place where students canbrowse and congregate but atthe same time we want to showa profit."

SATURDAY,SEPTEMBER 19. 1964PAGE TWO

(Letters to the editor do not nettuantyrefltct the views of the editor.)

Reoriented OrientationCasual chats with members of the

Class of 1968— "the best yet,"

we aretold

—reveals a warm reception for

the revamped orientation program.Regarded by most institutions as anecessary evil, orientation has beenmaligned at Davidson for years.

Last year the traditional facultyreception for freshmen— lingering onfrom the days when the faculty num-bered three and the student body in-cluded 65— was successfully overhaul-ed. Dividing the faculty by depart-ments, the new system allows for morethan a handshake and a mouthful ofsocial chit-chat.

Further improvements were madein the Orientation program this year:

The reorganized orientation pro-gram, directed by Freshman AdviserJohn Barrow, turns its attention to ahigher level than programs in thepast. No longer is there a day-longparade of speakers to tell the matri-culating students when the ChessClub meets, how a live wildcat streng-thens school spirit, and where theplumbing facilities are located in theUnion. Gone are the hours of 'Thisis your YMCA" and "Let me tell youabout the Eumanean Literary Soci-ety."

Rather, the new approach goesbeyond the day-by-day organizationaldetails of the college. Davidson asa whole is viewed. The college's goals.The relation with the church. Themeaning of a liberal arts education.Explained Dean of Students RichardC. Burts beforehand: "We are takingDavidson's statement of purpose,which neatly divides into four areas,and planning our orientation programaround it."

The four areas spotlighted included"Christian Commitment." "College—A Community of Learning." "Educa-tion in the Liberal Arts." and "ThePersonal Challenge of a Davidson Ed-ucation."

Entered uSecend Class Matter at Mm Pott Office at Davidson, North Caroline,under Act of March1. 1171.

As a large majority of the Fresh-man Class wandered into the out-stretched arms of fraternity men onPatterson Court this afternoon, thefreshmen also were placing them-selves in the hands of 12 pledge train-ers. And it is here that our interestslie:

If for no reason other than the posi-tion you hold, you will command therespect and admiration of a sizeablepart of the Class of 1968. Your in-fluence can be either used to yourfraternity's and the college's advant-age— or disadvantage.

Certainly you have an obligation toyour house to assist your pledges inthe next six months. But you alsohave an obligation to the college toencourage full participation in all as-pects of Davidson life. There shouldbe not contradiction in these objec-tives. And if there is, then somethingmust give

—the fraternity or the col-

lege.Freshmen are currently being pro-

perly oriented into fraternity life bypledge programs. Further, scholar-ship receives proper emphasis inpledge training. But Davidson Collegeencompasses more: In addition to awide range of extra-curricular acti-vities, Davidson hosts a steady flowof authorities in many fields and num-erous talented artists. Many studentshave left the college crediting theseextra-classroom activities with pro-viding the larger part of their educa-tional experienceat Davidson. This isnot difficult to understand when oneconsiders the ease and excitement oflearning in an informal situation.

Several pledge trainers in recentyears have encouraged their pledgesto participate in a more diversifiedmanner in campus life and thereby

The dean of students continued hisexplanation: "We'll have a guestspeaker tohighlight each area for theentire entering class and then theclass will break into groups of 15 stu-dents, each under the guidance of afaculty member and a student groupleader from one of the upper classesfor extended discussion of the sub-ject." Dean Burts emphasized that inthe discussion sessions "all aspects ofthe college's program" were to betouched" and related to the inspira-tional talks presented by the keynotespeakers."

Conversations with freshmen revealthe discussion group as the best-likedfeature of the new orientation pro-gram. Reports one: "I have alwaysthought of discussion .groups andseminars as perhaps the core of acollege education. Iwas glad to findout what one was really like beforeclasses started. In this way you learnnot only from your professors butalso your fellow students." Such re-ports were especially frequent fromthe students who enrolled in theseminar-prone Humanities program.

And another: "I benefitted morefrom the discussion group than any-thing else. Lectures get mighty dry,but we had a good leader. And thatmade a difference."

Some groups experienced difficul-ties: but these appear to have ariseniut of the ineptness of some groupleaders in provoking discussion.Nevertheless, the overall picture isone of change in the right direction.

But despite the changes, the usualcomplaints remain: "This may be alot more condensed for us than it wasyour year, but it's still a rat race."He paused and then added his sparkof an idea: "You know, it would be a 'really good program if they kept the isame program but added another day. ,That would give a little more time tospread out orientation."

THE SOUTHERN LINE-UPMost political experts agree that Senator Barry Goldwater must carry the South to have any hopewinning the election. As of this month THE OAVIDSONIAN finds the once solid South shakenby the Goldwater tide, but not enough to endanger yet the "Johnson steam-roller." Later issueswill make for definite predictions.

Richardson Scholar TakesHardLook At US Politics

Even ToDavidson CampusCome Political Folk Rites

BY MICHAEL L. HARRINGTONDavidtonian Managing Editor

Once again a Presidential election is upon the"Davidson" — dusty cliches floating lazily above short-cropped haircuts in Chambers and emotive argumentsstreaming from nearsighted minds in "bull sessions."

While doubtless the Presidential election of theYear of Our Lord Nineteen Hundred and Sixty-four willgenerate bursts of enthusiasm on many campuses, somegenuine, it is still safe to make the prediction that we atDavidson will observe the hullabaloo with the same gen-eral degreeof interest we show our football team,Colum-bus Day, and the Scripts 'n Pranks.

Probably the Johnson-Goldwater battle at Davidsonwill resemble a strange kind of twilight zone of graylight where intellect and emotions simmer but nevercome to a boil.

Perhaps this is good. At any rate we won't be ac-cused of letting our emotions run away with our heads.

Doubtless a general apathy on the part of the stu-dent body shall prevail. This is not to say that it will.

Really, this is quite a shame. When else in historyshall we have a choice between Big-Bop Barry and Live-It-Up Lyndon? The Davidsonian invites your comments.

A partisan study of American elections suggests thatGod-Truth-Flag and Family generally reside in the partyout of power. This year the Republican Party is no ex-ception— after all WASPS also need representation. Andafter this election so will the Republicans.

The Democrats can take credit for Prosperity andPoverty— Hubert Humphrey and Lyndon Johnson (oneis not certain that the order should be reversed),but notfor the incredible bungling of Republican political strate-gy.This recently seems to have become a GOP traditionat home and abroad.

Meanwhile, what a magnificent time we Davidsonintellectuals shall have this fall raving over the Demo-Duo of Tweeddlededum and Tweeddlededee, shriekingover every sophomoric aphorism from the owner of Herand Him.

Or if we side with the cavemen, how we shall shakeour spears and howl when the man in the jetplane makeshis latest retraction! And how we will burn newspapersand look for "pinko" professors!

From now until election day The Davidsonianwill be hanging breathlessly on the word uttered by theDavidson Weejun. Like thatof most old shoes, the aromawill probably reflect the state of mind.

While no doubt we shall occasionally print the na-tional predictions and observations compiled by oureditorial staff, the primary emphasis in the political fieldfor us will be the relevance of these rites of fall to theDavidson student. To be relevant will be quite an ambi-tious task.

The editorial columns,of course, will take astand forand or against one of the two men on white horses. Theremainder of the editorial pages will continue coverageof normal editorial features, plus periodic articles otanalysis and wit within the political field.

Contributors will be welcomed with open arms.One closing comment:It has been long said that the

chief contribution of the averageDavidson student is hiscelebrated apathy. Perhaps this is the year of politicalcampaigns that his particular talent shall prove mostuseful to the country.

By ALEXIS DOPP1964-65 Richardson Scholar

Senator Barry Goldwater, the Republican candidate for the Presidency of theUnited States, is not very popularin allEurope,as you perhapsknow.

Our opinion about him ismostly based on his foreignpolicy, although there aremore reasons why he is notour favorite candidate. It isnone of our business, however.if the people of the UnitedStates would prefer to have aPresident who voted againstthe Civil Rights Bill, wants tore-establish some situationswhich date back to the lastcentury, and who appeals toextremism.

I don't intend either to condemn or praise any part ofthe Republican platform con-cerning the United States; 1will merely point out why wedefinitly don't approve of hisforeign policy.If Senator Goldwater be

comes a President of the UnitedStates he will follow theforeign policy of Eisenhowerand Dulles. What the Senatormeant to say in this statementis not quite clear.

However, if one considershis statements about theforeign policy he has in mind.it becomes quite clear that heintends to follow the "tough"Dulles, the man of the "roll-back" of communism, and theman who intended to subjectthe Western alliestoan "agoniz-ing reappraisal," to get thembetter in line.

There was, however, a dis-

crepancy between the wordsand the deed of Dulles, andthe question is, whether Sena-tor Goldwater will do thesame, or will actually add deedto word.

Goldwater thinks "Atlantic-ly." i. >., he doesn't wantAmeri-ca and Europe to be separated,but he sees the NATO allianceas a vita! part of the Westernstrategic power. Thus the Wes-tern allies have become theinstrument of a neo roll-backpolicy, in comparison withwhich Dulles' policy is weak.

For example: In his bookConscience of a ConservativeSenator Goldwater wrote aboutthe possible reoccurrence of arevolution in Eastern Europelike in 1996 in Hungary- Inthis case he plans to send anultimatum to the Kremlin,prohibiting Russian interfer-ence, and if this is not accepted. nuclear forces will be sentto the troubledspot.

The purpose of this is con-front Russia with a superiorforce in immediate vicinity ofthe place of the revolution. Inthis way the Soviet troopswould be forced to retreat.Especially the last phrasesounds very simple. They justretreat.

Do the Western Allies wantto be the instruments of sucha foreign policy? The answeris a definite "no."

out armed power; they have putup with the status quo of anideologically divided Europe,hoping that sometime the situa-tion wouldimprove.

Above all the Western allieshave wanted to avoid thatchange in the status quo whichwould result in a war, whosefirst immediate result wouldbe a radioactive ruin on bothsides of the demarcation line.

Goldwater will, or at leasthe says he will, take risks withhis European allies. These al-lies will probably be somewhatless than eager to follow him.

We do not want the idea thata somewhat wild President ofthe United States of Americawould improve in a nuclearwar.

That is perhaps the main rea-son why we do not like theidea of Senator Goldwater be-coming a President.

to understand better the completescope of a Davidson education. We en-courage this year's pledge trainersnot only to continue but also to im-prove this program of full participa-tion.

We recommend that at the begin-ning of the pledge program the '.rain-ers set certain minimum require-ments to be met by the end of thesemester:

These should include attending atleast one Artist Series presentation,several faculty open houses, one Rey-nolds lecture, and a set number ofthe many other programs on campus,including a balanced number ofdrama presentations, concerts, GreatIssues programs, sporting events,Book-of-the-Semester, Open End, andvarious club programs.

That there is an element of com-pulsion in such a program is true,butcompulsion is not foreign to thepledge program. Certainly the com-pulsion is minimized in the wide selec-tion of both times and events whichwould be open to the pledges.

Some will say that a program suchas this is trying to make a studentinto something he is not: "You're try-ing to mold him. He's not that kind offellow." This, however, is not true.The pledge would have a great dealof freedom of selection.

Further,he is not being compelledto take part on a fulltime basis; rath-er, he is merely being exposed to afacet of campus life that he mightotherwise overlook. Such a programwould provide opportunities not onlyfor becoming better acquainted withDavidson and college, but also for de-veloping new and broader interests.

"I am delighted that Warrenwill be with us next year."comments Head Coach LeftyDriesell. "He has demonstrated outstanding coaching a-bilities and has the personalcharacteristics for doing a finejob in Davidson's basketballprogram."

its to me to be holdingall the high cards among thevarious civil-rights groups.At tin' only Christian civil-rightsgroups, they are able to dealmore effectively with the wholeman.

A few nights ago Susan andI went to a big mass meetingthat some of the SCLC boy<organized. We were with aboutthree other whitepeople among700 or so Negroes.
