Although Davidson's 12national fraternities must de-cide on the recommendationsof the 'Committee of Eigh-teen by December 15, a ma-jority 6f the fraternities havealready made their decision.

The status of the fraterni-ties as of press time are asfollows:

He said that the same ad-missions proposal which was

According to Davidson,students were "just walkingout with books" instead ofchecking them out or usingthem in the reference room. of the library as they should.

Davjdson added that thiswas "not really stealing,"but did cause considerabledelay and inconvience forothers who need to use thebooks in question.

Davidson said that thereference room policy is"an experiment," and that"if students feel they've lostsomething, we'll be open tosuggestions" for improve-ments.K *

He voiced hopes that theDavidson library would nothave to hire a policeman tofrisk students on the wayout of the library, as Har-vard University and certainother schools have done.

Coble stated that 13 otherschools were being checked,including Colgate, Berkeley,Emory, Amherst, Hamilton,Reed, Pomona, and Oberlin.He mentioned that Oberlinhad run into difficulties overits admissions proposal, andthat an understanding ofthe problems there wouldbenefit the handling of theproposal at Davidson.

Acceptance for the propos-al would inyolve a change inthe faculty constitution. Inthe absence of college Pre-sident Samuel R.

According to Coble, "Wewere near exams, and fa-culty tempers with studentswere very short. There wereeven some facuky memberswho were disturbed aboutthe manner in which theproposal was presented."

The basic objections tothe proposal last year werethat high school guidancecounselors would not sendrecommendations if studentswere on the committee andthat student representativeswould not keep the recordsconfidential.

"A national representativesaid that the anti-fraternitymovement is spreading toother campuses; consequent-ly the national organizationmay agree to the collegeplan as a sort of experi-ment," said Ravenel.

Sigma Chi voted to rejectthe college proposal and ,tocease operations at the closeof this academic year, ac-cording to Rick Weddle, fra-ternity president.

"Our house has a strongfraternity tradition," saidWeddle. "Since this frater-nity is one of the smalleston campus, we feel we wouldbe severely diluted by the.number of freshmen whichwould come here."

"We felt it was more im-portant to have a good yearand finish rather than gohalf way and mess up thesystem," he said.

Weddle noted that SigmaChi presently tias no sopho-mores and only eight juniors.The majority of the fraterni-

ty is composed of 12 seniors.Sigma Nu President Mark

Hallenbeck said that hisfraternity voted to accept thecollege plan, relinquish theircharter, and remain in theirhouse.

"Since we didn't feel wecould afford to move off cam-pus, and since the peoplehere wanted to remain to-gether, we decided to acceptthe plan," he said.

"The main reason we arewaiting," said Shepler, "isthat we wanted to get thefeeling of the freshmen dur-ing rush on how they feltabout moving off campus.

"We also want to check onsome of the specific mechan-ics involved if we in factdid decide to continue oper-ations off campus,'1 he said.

the pro? 'am and ks selec-tion methods were not mean*to exclude creative peoplein areas., such as the arts.

iMeza pointed out that theprogram did not include anyartists."I think there's some snob

bery involved there," hesaid.

"The program at OhioUniversity, on which thisone was based, was inclinedtoward all sorts of leader-ship," Kelton said. "Whathas happened here in ac-cidental. Ohio had a girlwhose ambition was to writea novel. The point was notwhat she wanted to do, buthow she communicated it."

.Me/a described the lack ofartistically oriented peoplein the program as partiallydue to the nature of the'Montreat weekend.

"The main characteristicis that the interviews thereare highly intense, highlyemotional," he said. Mon-treat doesn't really delve in-to the individual; the inter-view challenges on emotion-al and intellectual levels. Idon't know whether (the abi-

lity to respond to) this con-stitutes leadership or creati-vity."

Senior 'Gary Cash, who isthe student head of the pro-gram, agreed that there wasa good deal <rf pressurei inthe selection process. \

"Tho intilial process se-lected people able to re-spond Ho pressure ques-tions." he said. "Someonewould do well only If hewas a decisive type of person. A more sensitive per-son might not be able to puttip with this <jt testioning.""I don't soe the fellows

bringing back .something tothe campus. Other thanhelping a few individualslucky enough to get in., theprogram doesn't give anything to the campus," said(Meza.

However, Kelton deniedthat this was the case, mentioning that Fellows haveset up open colloquia oncampus for interested stu-dents in many fields,brought visitors to the cam-pus and been involved inhelping some non-tFellowsget summer placement.

Selection for the Fellows

Energy is the key characteristic sought in the studentwho is chosen by the N. C.Fellows Program, accordingto John D. Kelton, profes-sor of psychology and Davidson director of the program.

The N.C. Fellows Program, which has groups atDavidson, North CarolinaState. East Carolina. WakeForest and North CarolinaA & T, is designed to seekout potential leaders and toprovide them with opportunities for self-development.

The program selects itsparticipants through a seriesof interviews, first on theDavidson campus by ap-pointment and then duringa weekend at the Presby-terian centerMontreat by in-vitation.In the latter series of in-

terviews leaders from theoutside take part in the in-terviews.

Considerable criticism hasbeen levelled at the pro-gram, and especially at itsselection procedures.

"The problem is, who isgoingto get in?" said junior(Mark Meza, one of the Fel-lows, "and they have high-ly fallacious criteria for an-swering this.

"They selected the origi-nal fellows (in 1967) withsome kind of idea of dyna-mic. Kennedyesque indivi-duals who are going to leadpeople," he continued.

"It's fair to say that thejudgment makers have beenthat kind of people,and havelooked for boys who woulddevelop leadership in socialproblems, government, edu-catin and business," Kelton

AN ANALYSISBy WINDY MARCH

Staff WriterDavidson's poditician-in-re-

His political opponentshave described him as am-

"It has evolved into a sys-tem of courts of facuRy and" students responsible for thisarea. This, in my judgment. frees me to shape theoffice so that it can be ofhelp to students in all areasof their life at Davidson."

iBoth Burts and Terry sawimportant changes in thecontemporary Davidson stu-dent. Burts saw an indivi-duality in students that hasonly begun to emerge in re-cent years.

"There is little that holdsstudents together today.Where the administrationhas lost influence, studentshave gained it," he said.

"But it appears to methat the student body hastaken the freedoms, but notthe responsibilities. Every-

"body's business has becomenobody's business."

To illustrate his point.Burts pointed to tlie Code ofResponsibility of which hesaid he was "apprehensive."He did not feel that studentswere enforcing it.

Using drinking as an ex-ample, he said that the Codepermits drinking, but notdrunkenness. What appalledhim was the fact that sincethe Code has been in opera-tion (October 1%8) therehas been no one charged

Now to humiliate theseactivists, Ithought, whenword came from on highthat a column of my ownwas in the offing.

Oh, to stick them withbarbs of Right Reason;what fun. Gotcha Burney,etc.

Tantalized by the possibi-lities, I kept close by mytypewriter and waited. Andwaited. And waited.Ihave now waited for an

entire "ten-week term for thebig issue to arise, as have,Isuppose, those membersof this community who canmuster the energy to foUowthe activities of the studentgovernment.

AH of us have been disap-pointed. Thanks to the sen-ate, we now have self sche-duled exams; but that hasbeen discussed for severalyears. Not exactly an epicpolitical victory. ,

iThanks to the RHC, itsleadership in particular, wenow~ know that we shouldnot throw firecrackers inthe dorms and that weshould seek, positive, crea-tive relationshipsrather thannegative, destructive ones.

Besides this earthshaklngpiece of information: littleactivity of any kind can beseen developing in the RHC.

A look at the roles of theSGA legislative organiza-tions reveals that a sizeablenumber of students repre-sent their peers in theseaugust bodies. Yet little ornothing is being done.

All of this suggests that:(1) The members of the sen-ate and HHC cannot, aspresent, conceive of any sub-stantive action to improvethe life of the college, (2)there is nothing wrong withthe college. (3) the SGAleadership finds meetings abore, and so has called asfew as possible, (4) all ofabove.

Whatever the case is, onething is certain: we havetoo much government atpresent. Why a campus thissize should have two govern-ing organizations is a mys-tery.

The leadership of the col-lege is apparently mystifiedas well, for it has establish-ed a Committee on CampusGovernance to review,among other things, the sen-ate and RiHC.

"Whether any student legis-lature exists after the com-mittee returns its findingsis questionable.

If it is decided that effec-tive campus governance in- 'eludes such a body, it ishard to see why more thanone is necessary, and whythat.organization should in-.dude more than fifteenmembers.

By reducing the numberof student representativesdrastically,, student politicsand government would bothprofit.

Student office would bemore sought after in thatthey would be much morepowerful. It is even possi-ble that the new prestige ofstudents offices would leadto energetic campaigns toattain them based on sub-stance.

Fraternities KickingOne of the most widely recognized evils of the

old fraternity system was the institution by which itrenewed itself every year, namely, rush.

Unfortunately, the new rush, the informal rush,"rush 1970" is no different.

Theold rush was nefarious by virtue of its method.Itseems hard to believe, but even as late as last yearfraternities really did involve themselves iadesperateefforts to out-stud each other. No matter how hardthe fraternities may deny it, talk of brotherhood al-ways entered the rush parties at some time.

As if the hypocritical facade of the parties wasnot enough, the "brothers" then subjected them-selves each night to several hours of cutthroat strug-glesknown to the outside as balling sessions.

This year we are told things are different. Spon-sors down at the SPE house stress the informalityof the proceedings. They assure us that bidding pro-cedures will be different. The president of the fresh-man class, displaying his expertise, only refers to"rush" within quotation marks as if it really weresomething different this year.

Unfortunately, the new rush only superficiallylooks different from previous rushes. It is still pur-suing the time honored (or should we say archaic?)object of insuring the self-perpetuation of the frater-nity system.

Before any freshman accepts a bid to join anational fraternity we hope he will seriously considerthe possibility of accepting no bid at all.

Perhaps it would be best if the freshmen recon-sider the Report of the Blue Sky Subcommittee onStudent life (from 1967), the Report of the SocialPatterns Study Commission (majority report submit-ted in 1969), and the Student Life Section of the Re-port of the Academy for Educational Development(also from 1969).

These reports as summarized in the Student LifeCommittee recommendations of June 1970 call forthe elimination of the fraternity system.

It is true that the report of the "Committee of18"allows for thecontinued existence of national frat-ernities at Davidson provided they eliminate selectivemembership requirements.

However, it is time for the student of 1970 todecide whether the national fraternity is a necessaryor even desirable adjunct to a social existence. Isthe mystic word, secret grip, or high initiation feevital to a sense of community?

While this year's rush will supposedly prolongthe lives of Davidson's national fraternities, perhapsit would be more realistic to say that it is only pro-longing,the process of their deaths.

Innocent AbroadAs a part of the incredible administrative shuf-

fle and creation of new positions which began earlyin the fall term, the last week before Thanksgivingsaw three further staff changes.

Actually the move was -very slick indeed. Presi-dent Spencer announced the changes from a dis-tance of several thousand miles during a week inwhich students were already preoccupied with theimpending holiday and exam periods.

Yet perhaps the move was just a bit too slick.For one thing students played only a passive role inthe changes learning of them as they were announc-ed. Not even in the selection of a new dean of stu-dents did they have a voice although students hadbeen allowed participation in the selection of Presi-dent Spencer two years ago.

Inan equally unfortunate situation there is realevidence that the faculty were not properly consultedin these major administrative changes. According tosome scources such a lack of confidence violatedproperly established procedure.

While none of thisargument is meant to condemnthe changes or the men involved, it cannot be assum-ed with absolute certainty that the changes wouldhave occurred exactly as they did had more consulta-tion been allowed.

We urgethe committee now studying governanceto establish procedures which would properly avoidsuch problems.

it* will involve numerous

meetings, reports, a consti-tutional convention (probatedy). and other obstacles yetto be discovered.

It behooves all th*M interetfed in the collefi* le fol-low the process closely andto participate actlvtfy, whenpossible.

Until the eschaton arrives,however, the student legisla-tures will be in need of pro-blems to solve.

(May Isuggest the revivalof the proposition that whatthe Davidson College stu-dent body needs most ismore and better vendingmachines.

Numbers GameFootball is just a numbers

game.There are won-lost re-

cords, yardage totals,scores, averages and retir-ed Jerseys. When Iwas injunior high school, we evenhad a game for boring class-es in which won-lost recordswere determined solely byrandom number selection.

Some football numbers—

by far the largest ones—

are prefixed by dollar signs.Most of these have six orseven figures, which is morethan O. J. gained, even ininches.

My fellow columnist PaulRowland (rue though Imaythat status) added up David-son football numbers (thelarge ones, not two-and-cight, 16 or 2,100-plus) andcame out with a negativesum. from which he derivedhis thumbs-down on theWildcat gladiators.1 can hardly quarrel with

■Paul's figures, but, in theinterest of better relationsbetween THE DAVIDSON-IAN and. the campus meso-morphs, Iwill disagree withhis. conclusion.

Paul claims we spend toomuch money at Davidson onan activity which brings nopositive benefit to the col-lege and indeed impedessupport of more worthwhileacademic endeavors.

the football players providea link between Davidson in-tellectuality and the chara-cteristics of the world out-side the campus, since ac-cording to him they morenearly resemble the non-col-lege population than do theacademically oriented.

Yet Davidson is designed(perhaps not very well) tofoster precisely this intel-lectual approach, not to re-present the attitudes of thepopulace as a whole.

However, about half of theDavidson student body parti-cipates in one or another in*ter-collegiate sport. Sincethese sports invarlatyy re-quire an expenditure oftime and energy, they ap-parently provide somethingfor participants which othercollege activities do not pro-vide.

There is no reason to dis-criminate against football.

Admittedly football ismuch more expensive thanmost other sports. But if thecollege is to support an in-tercollegiate program, thenit ought to give the partici-pants the chance to competemeaningfully. , ,

Under present conditions.it is impossible for a foot-ball team to compete at themajor-college level withoutsubsidization.

This statement is not trueof soccer, nor is it true ofwrestling or of the rifleteam.

According to Coach Char-es W. Parker, "We will de-nitely improve our record

The returning starting let-termen of the team are RobBenton, Ken Dixon, Jeff Du-mansky, Jack Jacobs, FrankRader, and Ronnie Williams.

Parker expects a greatdeal of help from the fresh-men who round out thestarting team. They areJohn Scanning, Greg Funk,Jim Purcell, and FrankShinn. The remaining start-ing berth is being contestedby Allen Tillman and RustyWinchester.

Two weeks ago the coach-es elected Gudmundur Karls-son player of the year inSouthern Conference soccer.

Karlsson* is attendingDavidson under an Instituteof International EducationAssociation scholarship andwill return to his home atSelfoss, Iceland at the endof the spring term.

Before the season, the soc-cer team anticipated a pooryear, but Karlsson and twoother exchange students,Rainer Langenberg andPeter Hans, both Germans,sparked the Wildcats to be-come a winning team, roll-ing up a 10*3-1 record and totake -Davidson's first South-ern conference title by de-feating William and Mary3-2.

Karrlsson said thait in Ice-land he played fullback, butwas transferred to the half-back position at Davidson.From this positionhe scoredeight goals for the Wildcatsduring the season.

Karlsson said he was fa-vorably impressed withAmerican soccer.

"The players here," hecommented, "have onlyplayed for two or threeyears. They are suprisingly

If you made it a habit toleave ball names early IiihIyear or never bothered tosee the freshman play, youwouldn't recognize the newlook in Davidson basketball.

A new group of faces played like the ones you watched last season defeatingEast Carolina, 77*1, in Wed-nesday's season opener.

The victory meant a giantstep in Davidson's quest fortheir fourth consecutive con-ference championship.

Easit Carolina had beentabbed by several expertsas the most likely candidateto dethrone the Wildcats.Even with Bryan Adrian andEric Minkin sidelined withinjuries, the 'Cats oftenlooked like last season's edi-tion in their win.

Eric Minkin may find iteven harder to break backinto the lineup as his re-placement. Joe Suiter, ledall scorers with 25 points.The 6-7 sophomore hit six of17 shots from the field andwas good on 13 of 14 freethrows.

iFrom there on out thescoring was balanced. RonSteteer and Steve Kirleyeach added 12 points whileJohn Pecorak tossed in 11. IJan Postma and Billy Piercerounded out the scoring withnine and eight respectively.

East Carolina was pacedby AI iFaber who tallied 18and Jim Fairley with 12.

_The loss dropped the Piratesrecord to 1-2.

Davidson was in com-mand from the outset of thecontest building their leadto 15 points with four min-utes remaining in the halfonly to see the Pirates trimit to 41-30 at the buzzer.

The only time East Caro-lina came close in the se-cond half was at 6:32 whenthey pulled within ten pointsof the 'Cats. ,However»__fl_fifteen foot jumper by Sut-ter and a layup by Postma '

Seawell ExhibitsMedia Craftiness

A REVIEWBy CATHY ROSS

Staff WriterThe print works of Thorn

Seawell are -hanging neatly1 at Stowe Gallery. Seawell

has remarkable control ofthe mechanical intricacies ofthe printing processes; in-terweaving colors and pat-terns, he has put out a live-ly series of prints.

There is a wide stretch tohis craftiness with his me-dia. He has cleverly superimposed .phonographs andexperimented with texturesof papers and inks. Seawellhas done weH in combiningtechniques; the woodcut"Idaho" has particular suc-cess in becoming ah etch-ing at its interior.

Gavras CreatesSemidocumentary

The exhibit is a part of theAmercan Album: States andProvinces, Monuments andMomentos. It is to this pur-pose that much of Seawell'swork misses its potential.

The printer has labels,words, or digits on almostall his surfaces: "Virginia,""Tenn.^Ga. Line," "GhostTown," "Yukon." The let-ters are often too purpose-lessly obtrusive, turningsome of Seawell's prints in-to distant cousins of the oldOrange Crush posters.

This is not to say the ex-hibit is a failure. The north-ern provinces are exception-al prints: the colored wood-cut of "Alaska" and silkscreens of "Alberta" and"Manitoba" are superb.

Printing is a phenomenonexperiencing a metamorp-hosis of favor. Some consid-er these media— etching, en^graving, litho-graph, aquat-int, woodcut— perfectly va-lid modes of 'rendering

works of art.'

Put others view printingas craft, requiring only skil-led labor.

If your purpose is to con-front this art-craft dilemmafacing modern print making,it is questionable that Sea-well's work will make ap-parent any great turningpoints in your consciousness.

But if you haven't seenManitoba or the Yukon, youcan find happiness at theSeawell show.

ART REVIEWBy SCOTT DAVIDSON

News Editor"Any resemblence to real

people and events is purelyintentional." So state theopening titles of the Acade-my Award (Best ForeignFilm) winning thriller, "Z."

The military regime inGreece is hard-hit target ofthis adroit, suspensefulfilm, created by artists whos?own lives were affected byGreece's political conflict.It is based on a novel by

Vassilis Vassilikis and di-

rected by Costa Gavras,both exiled Greeks. Themusic is by Mikis ("Zorbathe Greek") Theodorakis,/and was supposedly compos-ed by Theodorakis from his-Greek prison cell, thensmuggled out of the coun-try.

Gavras calls "Z"

an "in-dictment against a systemthat calls itself revolutionafy. but in which every-thing is a parody, Includingjustice."

The source material for"Z," derived from Vassilkos'novel, is drawn from a true-

camerawork of 'Raoul Cou-tord is powerful and rich,capturing the mood of tur-moil and conflict.

The acting is smooth andwell-coordinated as the fa-miliar faces of the actorsblend into the uniformity ofthe film. Yves Montand is asympathetic pacifist leaderand Louis Trintignent is anunswerving investigator.

Surprisingly, the film '

evokes a remarkable Gallicatmosphere. The presenceof Montand and Trintignentis responsible. Also, thefilm was made in Algiers.Somehow "Z" loses some ofits mobility when the Frenchversion is dubbed into Eng-lish.

What Gavras has done in"Z"

is to create an extreme-ly subjective semi-documen-tary. But it almost treadson the rhetorical. Sometimeshis methods are too blackagainst white: the goodguys — the honest, sincere,liberal pacificts —

againstthe bad guys —

the pom-pous, sJimy Fascists.

Fortunately, Gavrasmakes no pretense at cloud-ing the persuasive slantof "Z." But couldn't theFascists make a movie aspersuasively anti
