Spencer Announces EndorsementOf Fraternity Selection Changes

Published Weekly By Davidson College Students

October 2, 1970

By GRAY WILSONAsst. Managing Editor

President Samuel.R. Spen-cer Jr. has publicly endorsedchanges in the basis for affil-iation with Davidson frater-nities, a move which wouldsignificantly alter the present

social system ih PattersonCourt.

In his address to the col-lege community Mondaymorning, Spencer suggestedthat the bidding system nowin practice be discarded infavor of house membershipsbased on random assignment,

self-selection, or other pos-sible grouping arrangements.

Citing the polarizationwhich exists between frater-nity men and independentsas well as the decreasingmembership and internalconflict in Patterson Court,the President posed hisquestion.

"Given the current situa-tion," he asked, "do we asa community have the ima-gination, foresight, and init-iative to do more than sitby and wait for total disin-tegration?"

The proposed changes aresimiliar to the findings ofthe Student Life Committee(SLC) in their report on So-cial Patterns submitted lastyear.

The SLC urged that thesituation be handled "bytransforming the presentfraternity system into asystem of eating clubs, non-exclusive in nature, whichwould serve as the basicsocial units for studentsafter the freshman year."

This committee would in-troduce random assignmentinto rising sophomore classesbeginning this spring whichwould completely erease theimage of the old houses bythe opening of the 1973-74academic year. Implement-ation might be facilitated bylinking assginments to thearrangement of the fresh-man dorms.

Reports from the Studentife Committee SLC thiseek indicate that the col-ge may be on its way to-ard nonenforcement of itslies against drugs.

Sources close to the SIjClid Tuesday it has recom-

mended to college presidentSamuel R; Spencer, Jr. thatthe antidrug clause be dropped from the Code of Re-sponsibility, making way fora "more lenient and con-structive approach to drugabuse correction."

The report has not beenreleased yet. but sourcesclose to the committee (whofor personal reasons chosenot to be indentified) pro-vided a resume of its con-tents.

The recommendation wasmade, sources said, primari-ly because of legal difficul-ties of enforcement as experienced in last year'sdrug case.

The SLC reportedly feltthat relaxation of the college's enforcement would allow it to develop a more ef-fective counseling programfor drug users who wantsuch help.

The SLC report went on tosay that while the collegeshould not take punitivesteps against drug users orsellers, it should not "act asa sanctuary for drugs andshould still seek to discour-age the use of drugs. .. byunspecified means," sourcessaid.

At the heart of the com-mittee's concern was thatthe college could not actboth as law enforcer andprivate counselor.

The report .did not saybut strongly implied that thecollege should call on statepolice to enforce state druglaws if the campus situat-tion became intolerable inthe view of the administra-tion.

Taking into account thediscrepancies in the jiiggest-ed methods for implementa-tion, Spencer agreed in prin-ciple with the SLC report.

His recommendations willnow undergo discussion bythe faculty and the studentsenate: recommendations willbe prepared then for con-sideration by the^Board ofTrustees when it conveneson October 16.

The traditional fraternitysystem has operated on astatus of membership by in-vitation for 118 years.

The only nominal changein the system was the recentaddition of "extended rush,"

which was an attempt to in-crease the numbers in thehouses and to mollify theimpact of rejection on freshmen who failed to receive abid in rush.

Spencer, himself a formerfraternity member at David-son, believes that studentstoday "do not feel the kindof loyalty and devotion thatwas once characteristic offraternity men."

He recognized the desirablefeatures of fraternity lire,including friendships form-ed, service activities, andsmall group social functions.

As he puts it: "To suggestthat something differentmight be better does not Im-ply that fraternities are'evil.'"

NEW SOCIAL PATTERNS FOR DAVIDSON?President Spencer speaks on issues facing the camus.

that present day campus so-cial life is inadequate andthat meaningful "not merelysuperficial" — changes arcneeded. Second, that the pre-sent fraternity system ope-rates on the basis of exclu-sion, thereby shutting out asignificant number of stu-dents from a full social life.

The SLC agreed that an"adequate social systemshould ,not be based uponthis principle and they werebacked by three othergroups in as many years:the Blue Sky Subcommitteeon Student Lire, the SocialPatterns Study Commission,and the Academy for Edu-cational Development.

The SLC also outlinedspecific changes for thenext three years, allowingfor the same random assign-ment procedures ending inthe 1973-74 academic yearwith all houses haying beentransformed Into eatingclubs with random assign-ment as the only basis formembership.

In his speech Monday,Spencer not only mentionedthis system, but also gave

those unsatisfied with theirpresent assignment, the planallows reassignment thenext year.

Giving the residence hallrenovation as a high priori-ty, the SLC specified dormswith public common roomsand at least some suites"which provide space forstudy and for entertainingguests, as well as space forsleeping."

The committee felt themost attractive idea was toconvert the three bedroomsinto two bedrooms with aliving room in-betweenOther suggested features in-cluded kitchenettes, study-seminar rooms and facultyoffices.

As far as the collegeUnion is concerned, the SLCreport recommended wait-ing on decisions as to en-

equal play to the Idea ofself selection as a basis ormembership to the 12 hous-es.

The SLC outlined three ad-ditional needs: Any new sys-tem should bring the socialacademic aspects of the col-lege into a better partner-ship, for example, increas-ing faculty-student con-tacts outside the classroom.

The quality of life in theresidence halls needs sub-stantial upgrading— as faras physical plant and as faras its aocal impact is con-cerned.

There is a need for in-creased campus wide socialactivities and for enter-taining visitors, the SLCsaid.

Another feature of the .SLC plan is the incorpora-tion of faculty fellows (per-haps up to six) who "wouldbe encouraged to dine in thehouse fairly regularly,"serving also as faculty 'ad-visors to the house officers.

The plan allows those whodo wish to random assign-ment to continue eating inthe college union, and for

The SLC based its reporton two arguments. First,

largement and coeducationbefore planning any exten-sive changes.

The committee also look-ed into the problem of mar-ried student housing, allarea "where there is littleindication that the collegehas assumed any significantresponsibility."

They recommended nospecific changes, but sug-gested the college assume nmuch larger role as soon asthe library and residencehall renovations have beenaccomplished.

The majority of officersquestioned agreed withBruner that the speech was"in the right spirit."

NONEXCLUSIVE FORMATSLC Report Suggests Eating Clubs

AN ANALYSISBy JOE SMITHAssociate Editor

Although college presidentSamuel R. Spencer's Mond;iy statement on Davidson'ssocial system directly af-fects their existence, the na-tional fraternities here arcnot of one mind on the re-forms which have been hint-id at.

This conclusion is drawnfrom interviews with leaders"if the campus' social fra-lernities, whose attitudes onthe president's speech rang-ed from strong approval toserious doubt.

"I thought it was an ex-cellent speech," said JohnBruner. president of the In-terfraternity Cquncil (IFC).'The president did a finejob of outlining the good andshort points of the fraterni-ty system. If we can retainthe good points while remov-ing the bad, that will befine.

"A number of details needto be worked out before theplan can go into effect,"■Bruner continued. "Themethod of membership al-lotment, whether at random,by self-selection, or someother method, is one exam-ple. The end of national fra-

By ROBERT TOUCHTONStaff Writer"

In response to requestsfrom the college administra-tion, approximately 10 Da-vidson students have volun-teered to drive school busesfor the busing stricken Charlotte-Mecklenburg CountySchool District.

After two weeks of class-es, 16 Davidson students badindicated an Interest in driv-ing buses and 10 begantraining Tuesday.

Several freshmen applied,but they were advisedagainst burdening themselves too heavily their first

rush periods of book sales.Besides regular work-stu-

dy students, Nicholls em-ploys other student workersduring periods of heavy booksales at the- beginning ofeach quarter.

The amount of help he canhire is limited by the budget which the college giveshim. Nicholls said heavybookkeeping work and limited help often force him toclose before the store's usualclosing time of 11:00 p.m.during rush periods.

He further said that mostschool stores he has seenare closed all weekend andafter about 5:30 on weekdays.

Asked if the situdent storeshows a profit, he said hedidn't know; he merelykeeps within the budget theschool gives him. As yetthis year, he said, he hashad no serious help prob-lems.

The early closings, he !said, did not result in manydissatisfied customers, orlong lines during the day.

Nicholls urged all studentsto buy their books for this

quarter soon.

He expressed optimismthai ;he act would be upheldand that eighteen yenr oldswould be enfranchised.

The result is the predic-tion that almost twenty per-cent of the American voterswho will vote in 1973 did notvote in 1968.

Jackson observed thateven if only eleven percentof the new voters chosemoderate dovish candidates,it would still make a defi-nite impact on the Outcome.

Jackson concluded bymentioning several localcandidates that the movement would support. Twonotables were Clirf Blue, aDemocrat running for Con-gress from the eighth district, and Congressional incumbent Richardson Preyerfrom the sixth district.

Ayres then returned to thepodium and outlined the approaches that would be takenin the local campaigns. Hesaid that this would consistof. door-to door and telephonecanvassing in i(,he Concordarea for Cliff Blue primarily.

He advised a tactful ap-projeh in dealing with the!"" i.sptctive voters, including coat and tie, and a rea-sonable haircut.

Ayres closed by saying,"This movement can do agreats-deal to close thechasms that exist In our so-ciety."

Final Fraternity Action

tit is gratifying to be able to report at last thatavidson's fraternity system seems destined for im-

mediate and radical reform.With the public support of President Spencer,

the recommendations of the Student Life Commit-tee (SLC) which were meant by that group to be thedefinitive guidelines for change may actually be im-plemented as final.

Our only reason for caution is that the groupwith the real power to change anything at David-son, that is the trustees, will not conclude the issuefor another two weeks.

It is to thia homecoming meeting that ail pro-ponents of effective change must direct their ef-forts. The time before that meeting must be used tothe best advantage to promote the current recommendations.

F6f these proposals have" much in their favor.They offer an immediate outline of change, but itis a plan which allows adequate time for resolvingproblems which might arise.

It has been said by some in response to the re-ports that a random distribution of freshmen intoeating clubs will never be a workable solution to

[resent problems.However, with evidence that such systems work

sewhere the attitude to be taken is one thatiserts that the method must be made to work.

We have been given a final, authoritative, andell justified program of reform, and now is nome to suggest that the search for an ideal sys-■m should be continued.

It is important to realize that the initial reformthe fraternities is not the final aspect of the

LC report even though that is by far the mostnportant aspect of the plan for present students.

The reforms continue long after that day whenDavidson's last student fraternity member has fad-

IMfrom the scene. Ultimately, the goal (and it seemsbe a most worthwhile goal) is for integration of

cial and residence hall life.But even looking that far in the future we must

in the SLC in keeping one eye to reforms in thecsent. The chance is before us.

Surely we can do more, as Dr. Spencer said,an sit by and wait for total disintegration.

Ideas Worth NotingIn approaching issues of change with regard

fraternities or other issues on this campus itseems valuable to reemphasize several points madeby Dr. Spencer in the conclusion to his addressMonday.

Basically Spencer noted that colleges must re-main somewhat better than and somewhat abovethe society whose ideals we seek to promote.

The campuses of the world and this campusmust remain sanctuaries of reason and rational dis-agreement in a society where these qualities arefast eliminated by the polarization of closed minds.

For if colleges are to be effective liberal andeducational forces in a world that needs these forcesas badly as ours does, the colleges cannot allowthemselves to join the society in its shortcomings.

We cannot allow ourselves to succumb to theinfluences of intolerance and disrespect which makemost impossible.

We cannot let ourselves be blinded by the lackof perspective that binds society to false solutionsand tired ideas.

Yet this need for perspective applies to issuesendemic to the campus as well as to the broaderissues of society. Only when we can see our ownproblems relative to the larger problems of lifeand society will we be able to treat them withoutexagerration and with a rationality that precludes

rinecessary strife.And only when campuses makes it clear to the

world that the method of reason is their approachwill they regain the confidence that their leader-ship requires of society.

Without this leadership colleges and their mem-bers are needlessly frustrated in their pursuit ofideals. Yet without this pursuit of ideals, societycan never prosper.

Charlotte and Davidsonhave more in common thanyou think.

You see, Charlotte is oneof those places where manyof (if not most) of the rest-aurants (including especial-ly the Italian and kosherones) are run by Greeks.

Up until recently 'Greeks'ran the major food servicesfor Davidson upperclass-men.

'Lately though, spiralingoperating costs and accom-panying bill increases haveforced those in precariousfinancial states U> adoptless expensive diets. Andsome were just tired of themenu.

This in turn has reducedthe revenue collected by thecollege from active fraternity members; overcrowdedKleeburg's Union facilities;increased 'electrical billsand the possibility of firefrom dorm cooking; andboosted the Coffee Cup'sbusiness.

In the midst of the Bur-sar's headaches even Dar-von couldn't ease, the Stu-dent Life Committee has re-leased its recommendationsin an attempt to cure .every-one's indigestion with David-son's fraternity situation.

The SLC has recommend-ed, with President Spencer'squalified endorsement, thatthe Greek restaurants bephased out with gradual re-placement by a new chain.

The proposed restaurantchain should solve moreproblems than it creates. Wehope.

But we'll have to spend afortune on Mack ink for thebusiness office; the data pro-cessing center will have toprogram the random assign-ment of the new chain'sclientele and produce a bill-ing system; and the CoffeeCup will have to learn tolive without student's busi-ness.

The really sad thing aboutit all is the loss of atmos-phere. Without the quaint,squiggly letters, the housesjust won't be the same.

Randomization is likely todestroy the flavor of eachhouse's clientele. What willhappen when we split upclose knit groups of jocks,eggheads, hotdogs. flits', coolgups, clods, and other com-mon bonds found in eachfreshmen class?

And think how dull Fallwill be without uppcrclass-men sneaking around rushrules to get buddy-buddywith freshmen they want tobe brothers.

Nasser balanced againstthe- Soviets, defending theAmerican interest that theSoviets not dominate thearea, and he counterbalanc-ed against his allies, but

THE DAVIDSONIAN welcomes letters to the' editor onany subject, regardless of the views expressed.

Letters should not exceed 250 words in length, and wereserve the right lo correct for grammar and style.

THE DAVIDSONIAN has never in recent years refusedto print a letter which was in good taste and whose authorcould be confirmed.

To the Editor:

Will Rogers once said, "AllIknow is what Iread in thenewspapers."

In the Sept. 25th issue ofthe Davidsonian appears aletter, which if taken serious-ly would cause one to believea great rift is present .Inthe class of 1974.

The subject under con-demnation appeared to benoise. Yet, the overtones ofthe letter connotated the en-thusiasm thus far exhibitedby our freshman class.

The friendly and enthusiastic rivalry of the freshman inEast and Cannon dormitoriesis neither new nor alien tothe Davidson campus. En-thusiasm is a vital and neces-sary force to any successfulcampus individual, class orinstitution.

Ibegin by refusing toanswer the question*'Ihave been asked more thanfive thousand times sinceFebruary: "Why are you go-ing to Hollins for a year?Isn't it a girl's school?"Figure it out for yourself.

There are nine of us here:five of us from Davidson,two from Washington andLee and two from Randolph.Macon. We're living in anold house on Rt. 11, one-half mile from the Hollinscampus.

Hollins geographically is aschizophrenic place. Rt. 11runing north out of Roan-oke is a seemingly endlessstretch of prole food places,service stations, and motels—

even worse than Indepen-dence Boulevard in Char-lotte.Ialso suspect that Route

11 is the only north-southtrucking route this side ofthe Mississippi.

Several hundred yards ofrthis thoroughfare is Ilollin.sCollege — pastoral, quiet,bounded by sloping pas-tures and mountains.

Hollins is in some waymuch like Davidson. Found-ed in 1824, its average stu-dent tend to fall into broadcategories.

There is the W&L— UVA-Every-Weekend Crowd. Mem-bers of this group are easilyspotted every Friday after-noon scampering across cam-pus, American Tourister inhand. When engaged in con-versation, they reveal en-cyclopedic knowledge ofevery fraternity (and itsnotable members) at everycollege in the area.

If one doesn't happen tocatch a representativeof thisspecies on Friday, or talkto her during the week, justlook for a girl with aguy wearing black-and whiteshoes and a three-pound frat-ernity pin sagging down hismonogramed alpaca sweat-er;1 sitting inside a late-modelGTO. It's a dead give-away.

One-hundred-eighty degreesaway is the Hip Squad (Asocial, not anatomical cate-gory). Favorite pastime ofthis genre seems to be sit-ting on the Main Quad inbells and tee-shirts groovin'on the trees and grass (takeit either way) and really be-ing "into" things.Ilearned from a hip per-

Davidson, N. C.

"Art critics are parasitesof the painter," he said"just as dancers are para-sites on the choreographer,singers are parasites on thecomposer and so fqrth.

"I'm not built for thatsort of thing," he added."I'm not built for the con-templation o f somebodyelse's navel: I'm built forthe contemplation of myown things. Ican paint astripe on a canvas and justsit' there for hours contem-plating that stripe."

The phone number|for the first floor ofIHarris Dorm at Queens1is 332-9656. The number|was published in error|in the "Wildcat Hand-I

■ book" and the error wasIcopied in THE DAVID-1|SONIAN directory. Stu-Idents are urged to noteI|the correction.

Artist Marvin Saltzman isa vivid man.

The paintings he is show-ing presently in the Cunning-ham Fine Arts Center arebright in tone. "I used thatred stripe there because Ilike that red," Saltzmansaid.

"1 like to squeeze it fromthe tube, I like 'to paint iton, I'd like to taste red likethat." As SaRzman sat dis-cussing his work with Da-vidson students and faculty,his green, European-lengthbell bottoms, yellow shirtand purple candy-cane lieout-shone the paintings.

Saltzman's talks duringthe several discussions rang-ed over widely varied sub-jects but centered aroundthe problem of the artist'scommunication w i t h theviewer.

"The painting is an exten-sion of me," he said. "Whatmight be termed honestpainting is a personal ex-pose, a self-conscious, know-ledgeable expose. Iam ex-tending my personality ontoa surface.

However,Saltzman said hecould talk about himself and "

his life for extended periodswithout the viewer knowingany more about his paint-

ings than the viewer wouldat the beginning.

"Paintings communicatethoughts, but not necessarilythe painter's' thought," hesaid. "I paint as an expres-sion of my ego. Yeah, Iwant people to undcrs>Landmy work, but I'm going tocommunicate perfectly onlywith someone who speaksthe same language, thinksand acts like Ido and hasthe same background, whois my twin.

"It's .the same as the dif-ference between sexual in-tercourse and masturbation.Sexual intercourse is not thesame to me as it is to mypartner. But masturbation isthe same to me as it is tome."

Saltzman feels that thereis a sharp division betweenthe audience of a work ofart and the man who creat-ed that art.He therefore al-so describes ant history andart criticism as fields dis-tinctly separated from crea-tion of art.
