Terry said approximately$7500 had been raised towardthe $10,000 goal as of Wednes-day night.

The money will go towardsfeeding the starvingpeople ofCambodia, where more thantwo and one half million havealready died in the past sixmonths.

Terry, who was optimisticthat thegoalwouldbe reached,noted that some of the moneyhas yet tobecounted. Proceedsfrom the drama workshop pre■

The1987ProgramworkstowardagoalthatisformerinflatedByJOHNSIMAN

AssistantNewsEditorThe $35 million contribution goal of the

11 year Davidson 1987 Program is anobsolete figure,according toVice Presidentfor Development Duane Dittman.

"We're going to have to raise for morethan $36 million todo what we planned todo," Dittman said. The1987 Program wasbegun in 1976 to help finance currentoperations, endowments, and constructionup to Davidson's hundred and fiftiethaniversary.

So far the program is "somewhere nearon schedule,"Dittmansaid.Anaverageofalmost $3.2millionmustberaised annuallyto reach the $35 million mark. Givingbetween fiscal 1977 and 1978 (inclusive)averaged over $2.54 million, according tofiguresreleasedby the Development Office.

The contributiongoal was estimated in1975. Since then inflation has made costprojections unrealistic. "Everything costsmore than anyone anticipated in 1976,"Dittman said.

Nevertheless. $35 million will remain asthe program'snominal— thoughnot ac-

Lum— goal. "The way inflation is runningnow we'd have to change our goal everyyear,"Dittmansaid.

Uittman declined to citeamore realisticgoal. "We can't forsee the rateof inflationfor the next eight years," he explained.Fundraising is "not an exact science," helater added.*

The1987program is designed to streng-then Davidson financially in three areas:general, annual aid to the college (a flO

.million nominal goal); creation of endow-ments for professorships,scholarships, andlibrary support (a $9million nominal goal);andconstructionand renovationof campus

v buildings (a $6million nominalgoal). "Thisis by far the broadest program Davidsonhasever had,"Dittmansaid.

Dittman said the 1987 program hasrecently been criticized as being too much

, directed towards funding hew constructionat the expense of support for currentoperations and endowments. Dittman feltsuchcriticism is unfair. "Youdoyourbestinall areas,"he said. "We won't beputtingmore importanceonone than another." Heattributed thecriticism to the publicity the

Commons and proposed new dormitorieshavereceived later/.

The 1987 program includes seven build-ingprojects,according todata released bythe Development office. A new Fine Artsbuilding, theCollegeCommons, renovationofMartin Science Building (completed), amath wing addition for Martin, a sportscomplex, new dormitories,and anew shopand warehouse wereproposedin1979.

Dittman pointed out that despite thepublicity givenbuildingprojects, Bbvidsonhas received "at least three" endowedprofessorships since the start of the 1967program. Also, the College has recentlyreceived,a $500,000 challenge grant fromthe NationalEndowment for the Humani-ties.

Dittman ampK^^ij^ the importance ofgifts to the College. "Gifts account for 10percent ofour total income,"he said. Also,since budget expense per student is over$7,000,gifts and endowments make up thedifference between what students pay andwhat it costs to run the college. Dittmansaid such gifts and endowments subsidizeeachstudent forover $2,000peryear.

elements inour Davidson 1987Program."

The program, which sets a$35 million goal in fund raisingby 1987, is designed to fundconstruction projects as wellasto endow professorships, scho-larships, and library support.

Lee explained that all of theNEH money will be channeledinto faculty and library funds,not into construction.

The NEH is a governmentagency established to sponsorscholarship in the humanitiesand programs which makeworks in the humanities avail-able to the generalpublic.

"things are going to be differ-ent." That resoluteness forceshim, drives him to keep run-ning...and running...and run-ning.

The Secretary of State post,whichThadEure hasheld since1935, is one which requiresmany mundane tasks of itsoccupant. Chartering corpora-tions, issuing lobby and notarypublic licenses,and swearing insome minor officials: all thesemake for a rather bland dailyagenda foranypersonelected toNorth Carolina's Secretary ofState post.

Breece, however, feels thatthe Secretary of State can domore forNorth Carolina's "sun-shine,"or open-meeting laws tothe Council of State (i.e. theGovernor and his cabinet). Af-tersuch abillwaspassedintheNorth Carolina House, Secre-taryofStateEure wentbefore aSenate committee to argue a-gainst said extension, a billwhichevenGovernor JimHuntfavors. The bill was not re-ported out of committee, andBreece feels that Euro's influ-ence was theprimary reason.

In addition, Breece has at-tacked the inefficiency of theSecretary of State's office. Heuses two illustrations to drumthis fact home: the fact thatthe Secretary's office was theonly state office with abudgetincrease during former Gover-nor Holshouser's cost-cuttingprogram in 1976, and the fact

thatEuremaintains anofficethree-and-a-halfblocks from hisstaff's in Raleigh— the onlycabinet official to do so.

AlthoughBreece states timeand again that age is not anissueintheupcomingcampaign(Eureisover 80),he utters suchstatements as "Back in 1936,before any of you were born;"and "I respect the Secretary,but..." He even went so far asto single out Davidson CollegeDemocrat officer Bobby Ervinand state that "Even Bobby'sgrandad knew (when to getout)," an obvious reference tothe younger Ervin's distin-guished grandfather, formerSenator Sam Ervin. But, asBreece told thisreporter, "Poli-tics is a tough game." In fact,Breece's campaign slogan,"GiveaYoungManaChance,"is the same slogan which ThadEureused inhis first campaignin 1976; a fact which Breecenever failed to mention whenspeaking to DCs Democraticclub.

If he loses this time around,Breece doesnot believe that hewill become persona nongratain theNorthCarolina Democra-tic party. Although he realizeshe is running an uphill raceagainst whathe perceives tobethe party's standard candidate,a loss, Breece said, "will bea setback, not a defeat...I'mgoingtokeepon fighting." Onecan perceive that Breece mightstop oneday...inthe year 2100!

holds to this day.When askedabout his lack of

governmental experience,Breece made the point thatEure, whenchosen Secretary ofState in 1935 in order to fill ajob vacancy, had served thesame number of terms in thestate House of Representa-tives—one—which he hadserved...and was actually de-feated for asecondtermin1934.

Thus armed with familiarcampaignsigns, which theFay-etteville Disabled AmericanVeteransmade for himat acostof 25 cents each, Breece can-vassed the state in 1976, fight-ingagainstwhatheperceivesasthe Democratic partyestablish-ment.As he drove fromManteoto Murphy, from Watauga toWilmington, Breece wouldhammer his wooden signs intoany willing tree trunk ("One-third of them are still up," heestimates, "and I've changedthe dateonhalf of them."( Thisprocess of hard campaigningbrought him 47% of the voteinthe '76 Democratic primary, agrand accomplishment for apoliticalnovice.

When speaking of his 1976campaign,Breece showsadeep-rooted resentmentagainst whathe implies were unethical prac-tices in the Eure campaign,such as using campaign pic-tures which were twenty yearsold. He vows that this time

George Breece runninganuphillrace for Secretaryof StateByFRANKSANTORE

Staff Writer"I've been to ninety-one

counties in the past 107 dayswith twelve days off— all Sun-days," George Breece, a candi-date for N.C. Secretary ofState, tells this reporter twoseconds after meetinghim.

A former statelegislator fromCumberland County,Breecehas been involved in almostevery activity which the NorthCarolina Democratic Party hasundertaken in the past twelveyears: At the tender age oftwenty-two, he was a state andnationalcoordinator for HubertHumphrey's '68 campaign. Ac-tive in the N.C. Young Demo-crats,he helped JimHunt risetopower in that organization; afact he never fails to mentionwhenspeakingof the Governorand his long-time friendshipwithsame. He hasbeen chosenasone of North Carolina's TenOutstanding Young Men intimes past, and washonored bythe North Carolina Jaycees forhisrole inthe Jaycees' Interna-tionalRelief fund for Hondurasin1975.

After serving only one termin the state legislature— he ledthe ticket inCumberland Coun-tyinthe 1974generalelection— ,Breece decided to challengeNorth Carolina's Mr. Demo-crat," incumbent Secretary ofState Thad Eure, for the postwhichMr.Eure held, and still

TheCampusForumhis faults,but if the teamcanaccept these faults aspartof thecoachjLthen these faults shouldbe acceptable to everyone. Wehave had our disagreementswith him.The important thinghereisthat theywereovercome.It has been said that he hastrouble relating to his players.This may have been true threeyears ago and may be so tosome extent today, but theimprovement in coach-team re-lationships over those samethree yearshas beenmarked.

In three years Karl Kremserhas taken a group of playersandmade theminto a team. Hemade them into a self-respec-ting team that could playcompetitively with teams thatwere nationally ranked. Consi-dering the short period of timethatKarlKremser hasbeen ourcoach, the amount of good hehas done for thesoccer programis amazing. Now that thefoundationofor a strong, com-petitiveprogram isbeingbuilt,we, the undersigned, feel thatthe absence of our coach, KarlKremser, next fall will be asevere blow to the continuedsuccess of soccer atDavidson.

Severe SetbackTo the Editor:

You cannot build a soccerprogram in a day but you canjustabout destroy one.

The refusal by the Depart-ment of Athletics to renewCoach Kremser's contractthreatens to set back severelyDavidson's newly revived soc-cer program.

Theadministration presentlyrefuses to reveal their rationalebut theycertainly donothaveabetter coach inmind. A personmore qualified to build a teamwhich can compete respectablyin theSouthernConference willindeed be hard to find. Soccerhas grown tremendously atDavidson in the three yearssince Coach Kremser's arrival.The quality and depth of thisyear's team, the potential re-cruits whom Coach Kremser isbringing to Davidson,and thecrowds that were drawn to thesoccer matches bear witness tothis fact.Evenif another quali-fied coach is found, how doesDavidson expect to offer himany fairchanceata secure posi-

tion? After all, we just fired theSouthern Conference Coach ofthe Year!

Butmy reasons forleaving arenot theissue. Whilewithdrawing,Iwas told that inmy winter termclassesIwouldreceive F's. These F's are inclasses thatIhave attended forless than ten days. They willscar my transcript making itdifficult for me to be admittedto other schools.Iamnot leavingDavidsonfor

MoneyMattersThe Cambodian Fund Drive may soon reach its ten

thousand dollargoal. That's great and that's surprising.This drive is the most successful that Davidson hasrecently staged. Why haven't fund drives for Davidsonitself elicitedsimilar enthusiasm and support?

Davidson students and alumni don't often give moneyto Davidson. This is reflected in recent senior class giftefforts and in various alumni donation records. Currently theparticipation rate is 30 percent; this is far below what manycomparable schools experience. Swarthmore, for ex-ample, has a 50 percent participation rate, whilePrinceton and Williams get donations from 66 and 56percent of their alumni, respectively.

Davidson is far above the national average of 17.5percentbut Davidson isdifferent from mostother schoolsin the country. Government money accounts for aminiscule amount of the College's expenses. Yet ourendowment is not nearly as big as that of other smallliberalarts colleges.

Davidson isdependent on alumni giving and all of uswhoare students will eventually become alumni. If wedon't support this college, who will? More Importantly,how can weexpectotherpeople to look at Davidson as aworthy institutionif we,as studentsand as alumni,don'ttreat it as one? One's belief as to whether Davidson is,indeed, aplace worthy of our hard-earned money is onethat separates the donors from the cheapskates. Manystudents,whenaskedif they willgive money toDavidson,flatly say no. When pressed, they point out the problemsthe College has, like recent tenure decisions, the"student"radio station affair, the problems with facultysalaries and morale, the athletic priorities; the list isregrettably long.

Don't students realize that some of the most seriousproblems could be relieved if alumni took on additionalfinancial responsibility? Davidsonstudents, you and meand people in the past, are subsidized. Currently ourtuition,high as it may seem, pays for 47 percent of thetotal cost of our education. The rest comes fromendowment income, trust income, and gifts. In otherwords, it comes from alumni. It comes from us. AllDavidsonalumni havebeen substantially subsidizedDavidson students.

A little money from every alumnus would add up to asignificant amount. And a significant amount of moneycould solve some of our problems. Many of the veryshortcomings that non-donors point to could bealleviated.The athleticpriorities and the "student" radiostation are just two examples.

Athletic priorities have bothered a lot of peoplerecently.Oneof themain reasons that some people claimwemustpromote highpoweredteams isthat thesesportsbring inthebucks. Theargument is that some alumnigetattached to our big-time teams and give money toDavidson. If only all alumni would give toDavidson wewouldn't have to try and entice potential donors withoverinflated athletic programs. More money could bediverted to the minor and intramural sports that directlyinvolve moreDavidson students.

The college radio station is another facet of Davidsonthat seems in danger of becoming a promotional effortinstead of serving the needs of the students. If onlyalumni gavea littlemore, thenmaybe wewouldn'thave toworryabout impressing potentialdonors with a powerfulstation and wecould havea student run station.

Thealumnigiving problem iscircular.Theless wegive,the more time, energy, and money the college has todivert to money-making ventures. Thismeans less time,energy, and money to aspects of Davidson that areimportant to us as students.

The fact that students have really dug deep into theirpockets for Cambodia is cheering. Perhaps as alumnithey can at least reach into their pockets for Davidson.

We wonder howsucha decisioncould have beenreached in light of all that hehas done for the soccerprogramat Davidson College.

Considering what he startedwith three years ago, he hasdone a truly remarkable job.This season was the best yearDavidson soccer has had since1974. This is due in largemeasure to the incredible 'amountof workheputs into theprogram both on the field andoff. For example, the last twoyears spent recruiting playerswere very successful, and thisyear promises tobe better still.Members of the team haveactively participated in thisyear's recruiting effort, and arevery enthusiastic about itschances for success. However,no incoming freshman is likelyto attend a school where theman that recruited him is nolonger holdinga job.

KarlKremser's achievementsin the sport of soccer aretremendous. He is amember ofthe board that ranks the soccerteams in the southern UnitedStates. He coaches the NorthCarolina State "Under 16" soc-cer team. He holds a UnitedStates Soccer Federation "A"license in coaching, one of fourin the entire state of NorthCarolina. He was selected, oneof sixteen, to attend a seminarincoachingheldby the coachesof the GermanNational Team.This is not an honor that heapplied for, they contactMm.Lastly, and perhaps closer tohome, this week Karl Kremserwas voted SouthernConferenceCoach of the Year.

What about his relationshipwith the team? True, teammembers have been heard togripe from time to time, butwhat members of any teamdon't gripe? Karl Kremser has

What Should Have Been

Lex Alexander

Try HardTo StayBehind

A Matter of Survival

Jim CoombsThere should have been some mistletoeAnd snow upon theground,Merry laughter, lots of presentsAnd the children gathered 'round.

There should have been some bellsAnd trimmings on a tree,There should have been a "quiet time"For just youand me.

That's what should have been!But...What really happened?

■ #

Cell doors slammed shut. . .Icried,Lonely tears. . . Ihad no one!No one to share Christmas joyAs once we had done.

And yet...the sounds Iheard the whole nightthroughthroughSaidIwas not alone.For every other inmate dreamedOf another Christmas...

They too, had known.

The poem and drawing are by twoprison inmates at Salisbury and Hun-tersville. The Christmas party at Hun-tersville prison will be held on Wednes-day,December 19and anystudents stillin'the area are welcomed toparticipate.By attending this party and joiningstudents who visit the prison and theJackson trainingcenter every ween,Christmascanreally lastpastthe 25thofDecember.

It'snow the last few days beforeChristmas break,and the traditionalpatterns are takinghold. Thursday andFriday are marked in blood red anddoom black on almost everyone'sacade-mic calendars. Typewriters, for use inpreparing theterm's first theme,clack inalmost every other room. Chambers 209and210 have more customers at four inthe morning than Slater at the heightofthe dinner hour.

Everyone, upperclassmen as well asthe freshmen, gets taken in by the firstweek (or two)of abrand-new term.Fiveband parties in six nights and thecommencement ofbasketball season,among other things,combine to lure allbut themosthardcoreof 'brairratsawayfrom theirstudies. Inthe finest traditionof Davidson students,everyone getswonderfully behind in the first twoweeksof the term— andpays hell toplaycatch-up during the third week.

CookingcatsinFry-Babies gives waytomakingcoffee asafavorite dormroompastime. Caffeine becomes more impor-tant thanbreathing.Harriedstudents searup anddown, right and left,that theywill get ahead over Christmas break.When one goes home for the holidays,one finds that one's body accustomsitself to eight hours' sleep per nightrather quickly. One gets used to notgoing to classes.By theend of the firstweek,onehascome toconsider asalmostanactofsacrilege toopena book for anypurpose other than sheer pleasure andrelaxation. It's funny how that works.

In the meantime, though, everyonewades through the1100 pagesof readingthat somehow accumulated over the lastten days, doses out on something orother to counteract the fever, chills,runny nose, stuffy nose, sore throat,cough,laryngitis,or anycombination ofthe above that everyone contracts justbefore Christmas, and keeps waiting for5pm Friday (or 10pm Thursday orwhatever, dependingonhow longa tripit isand the review schedule for Friday(to signal thebeginningof three weeks ofsemi-adulterated freedom. Until then,students do what Davidson studentshave donebest since 1837:suffer.

There's adebate going on these daysin the academic world. "Oh, another ofthose 'Ivory Tower'discussions,"you'reprobablyabout tosay.Andyes, thisonedoeshave acertain amountof that taint.

But it also has something to do withthe fate of 49 American hostages in anembassy on the other side of the world,so stay withus for a few moments.

The debateinhigher educationcircleshas to do with the balance between atraditional liberaleducation and thenewvogue of colleges and universities pro-viding sophisticated vocational educa-tions. The concern among faculty andadministrators of a number of majorinstitutions isdue toseveralfactors thatare putting the future of the liberalarts

Thirty-nine prefer the crisis behandled entirely through diplomaticchannels if possible.

In their own unique way, Davidsonstudents are showing concern not onlyfor starvingrefugeeson theThaiborder.Asurveyofoverfifty Davidsonstudentsindicated that they are also verydisturbed over the holding of AmericanhostagesinIranandpleasedwithCarterAdministrationefforts to terminate thisunjustified captivity.

college in doubt— fiscal retrenchment,inflation,declines in enrollment,and theabove-mentioned surge in vocational-ism.

Whatmay becentral to the trend,andthis is just our conjecture, is that thepost-sixties renewal of career respect-ability is coinciding witha trend towardmore and mor specialization in careerfields. Specialization demands that col-legegraduate jobseekers havemoreandmorespecializedknowledgeapplicable tothe field they want toenter. Without anadjustment of the standard four-yearcollege stint,obtaining this kind ofeducation means the amount of wide-ranging liberal arts study is necessarilygoing tosuffer.

In the face of this trend, liberal artsacademics are restating the argumentsin favor of their typeof education. Onenutshell statement of a major point isthis, from Clarke A.Chambers, chair-man of a committee that has beenstudying the issue at the University ofMinnesota:

"In the hist 20 years, there's beensuch an accleration of history that wejust can't deal withitas individuals andas a society without being prepared tomove quickly beyond what we knownow. That's why the teaching fofdifferent modesof inquiry issoimportan1

t."Another member of the committee,

FredLukermann, defined the liberaleducation as "not what you learn in afactual sense. . .but the way in whichyouinquire, the way in which you askquestions, and then, the way youorganize what you've found so thai youcan act."

Allright,yousay,now wheredoes the

embassy crisis enter in to all this?A news item Sunday provides the

answer. It told of how diplomats andscholars in Moslem nations see thestrong Islamic revival of recent weekstaking the United States, and specifi-cally the Carter administration, com-pletely by surprise.

The United States, those observerssay, has not beenprepared to cope withthe surge of militance by Moslems whohave rebelled against U.S. influence notonly inIran,but in Pakistan and Indiaas well.

Theanalysisrings true.How many ofushaveevena rudimentary ideaof whatIslamis all about?How many "menonthe street" could respond at all to aquery about the difference betweenSunni and Shi'ite Moslems?

And will we improve or worsen thissituationbycontinuing themove towardmore emphasis on "nuts and bolts"courses at the universities? The pointshould beclear.

A few weeks ago, a presidentialcommission reported that "Americans'incompetencein foreignlanguages isnothing short of scandalous." Thistrend toward illiteracy in anythingbutEnglish hurts the nation not only intrade and diplomacy, the fwnmMqtj^msaid, but "in citizen comprehension ofthe world inwhich welive andcompete."

It'ssimply partof thesamemovement-as the academics are talking about,languages, the humanities, the -'■rrifttwho needs them when we'reintheageofcomputers, of genetic engineering, ofinterplanetaryprobes?

On theother side of the ballappears Joby Merten— baldingnow

— who has become presi-dent of Davidson College, re-placing the revered Sam Spen-cer, who has gone off in retire-ment to that paradise in West-ern Massachusetts.The fore-sighted "Uncle Joby" Mertenhas instituteda number of newprograms, all designed to pat-tern Davidson after the Cincin-natiReds. The school,it seems,is now building a 65,000 seatbaseball stadiumandnow offersmajors in bunting, losing, andastroturf.

Any retired Red is offered aposition on the faculty, andGeorge Foster will head alllanguage departments. Fight-ing and breast development areheartily encouraged. By theway,Joby's spot on the collegebowl team hasbeen taken awayby the peripatetic plenipoten-tiary, Rob Monteeth.

Two more SC games are onthe bill in early January.Davidsonmeets East Tennesseein Charlotte on January 2.VMI, a team the Cats havealready defeated this season,comes to Johnston Gym Jan-uary 7after classeshavebegun.

"Those first two with Fur-man and Marshall will setthetone for us,"Biedenbachsaid, "to see if we have chanceto sneak in the first division inthe conference. After the VMIgame,we'll have a pretty goodidea of how well do the rest ofthe season." He added thatthe toughest partof the seasoncomes up inJanuary and Feb-ruary. $

Davidson took a 2-0 recordinto the first roundof theFirstUnion Invitational last Fridaynight against Pennsylvaniaandcame awaywith the thirdwinof,the season, 71-62. The game,according toBiedenbach was a"satisfying one" for the team,fans, and everyone else con-nected withDavidson.

Inthe championship gameSaturday night, the Cats metcross-county rival UNC-Char-lotte and came away with only

Biedenbachpointed to thetransition defense as beingoneof the main' problems. He saidthe team was not recoveringquickenoughaftermissed shotsand turnovers to provide anadequatedefense againstarun-ning and talented team likeUNC-C.

Davidsonspread the pointtotal over almost the entirebench last night in as 83-64victory over Eckerd to up therecord to 4-2. Rich Wilson andTodd Haynes were the topscorersintheeffort while JamieHall snatched down 12 re-bounds. The team as a wholeshot 57% from the floor,66% inthe first half, which providedasparkofoffense that couldhavebeen used inother games.

Rich DiBenedetto, David-son's leading scorer and theprime figure in Davidson'soffense thus far, wasout of lastnight's game because of anillness.Coach Eddie Bieden-bach took this opportunity toallow his entire team to see agreat dealof action.

"Sometimes along the way,"Biedenbach said, "we're goingto have toplay without some-bodyandnot suffer.Tonight wejustleteverybodyplay for us tosee how much they could con-tribute. I'm very pleased withthe game, but our defense isstill notgood enough."

Although DiBenedetto miss-ed this game, he received twoawards during the week for hiseffortinthefirst fivegames.Hewasnamed SouthernConfer-ence Player of the Week andalsoreceived theMost ValuablePlayer Award in the FirstUnion Invitational.
