Cole Praises Rush Week,ExhortsBetter Regulations

The IFC termed the I960 Freshman Rush Week a"great success" after its evaluation meeting Mondaynight with all the fraternity rush chairman.

"I personally thought every-thing went very well except forthe frantic mixup in mailingbids Saturday morning." said.lerry Cole, IFC president. "Iwant to express my apprecia-tion to the rush chairman andIFC members for the splendidjob they did."

Several factors in the RushWeek program will be changedas a result of the evaluation.Two of these involve the lengthof time fraternity men can rushfreshmen.

"During the next rush week,the IFC wrll enforce end ofrushing at 10:19 p. m. eachnight outside the dorms," Colesaid. "There was too much ling-ering after parties this year."

The other move affects the15 minute gentleman's agree-ment on dorm rushing. Thoughthey realized this rule was

broken, chairmen felt there wassuch an improvement over lastyear, that it could be excused.A closer watch will be madeon this agreement in the fu-ture, however.

In order to prevent anothermailing mixup, the various fra-ternities will deliver their seal-ed bids to the IFC presidentduring future rush weeks. Hewill then deliver all the bidsto the postman early on themorning of pledging and keepa duplicate list of names as adouble check.

"One other worthwhile sug-gestion from Monday's meetingwas for the IFC to keep some-one by a definite phone allrush week to answer any ques-tions by rushers or rushees andquickly solve any problemswhich might arise," Cole ex-plained.

Stating that his usual practice is to refuse speaking en-gagements at colleges and uni-versities, Uri.s accepted the in-vitation extended by YMCA representative Joe Robinson bysaying: "I find your invitationM tempting that Iam unableto decline."

Joe Robinson,student lead-er in.charge of this YMCAproject commented that "theenthusiasm and supportwhich the Sook-of-the-Semest-er Program received last yeardemand* a continuation of

Johnston Views AspectsOf Comprehensive Tests

"'Comprehensive examinations can be good for Davidson College if properlyadministered," slid Dr. Frontis W. Johnston, dean of the faculty, in a DAVIDSON-IAN interview on Wednesday. "But if the comprehensive examinations are admin-istered in a routine desultory way they can be worse than having no comprehen-aives at all," he continued.

Dean Johnston said that thecurriculum committee of thefaculty had been investigatingfor aome time the possibilityof having comprehensives. Hestated that a list of questionswas given to the faculty lastSpring which included a re-quest for faculty reaction tothe questionof comprebensives.

"The curriculum coanmittoehas gone over the answer*from the faculty and has de-cided that comprehensive ex-amination* Is one importantidea It wishes to pursue,"said Or. Johnston. "We haveopinions from over 121 otherschools regarding comprehen-sives.Some of the schools likethe examinations and somedo not; I feel that one canargue in either direction."

"Davidson has come to de-partmentalize its courses more

m<' schools whichresultsin a lot of cramming. This is

I learning."Dr. Johnstoncontinued. "Comprehensives canhelp this situation even if ad-nunistereil by local proti-but compi^hensives can im-prove the situation even morefey having outside examiners."

i When questioned as to whatwere some of the evils of com

; prehensives examinations DeanJohnston replied, "la someschools comprehensive exami-nations are meaningless sinceno one is ever flunked. Thismay occur when the examina-tions are given by members ofthe college faculty and not bysome one outside of the collegecommunity."

Dean Johnston emphasisedthat no one device or proce-dure can necessarily ensurea good education, for It Ispossible to have an excellentcollege without having com-prehensive examinations.When asked what the cur-

riculum committee plans to doin the near future regardingcomprehensives Dean Johnstonreplied. "Dr. Abernethy and Iare going to visit severalm-IiooU in October. The pur-pose of our viiit will be pri-marily to examine this ques- Ition ami get what evidence wecan."

Dean Johnston stated *hat he Iwas not certain when the cir Iriculum committee woul'.l reacha decision concerning any type i

of recommendationto the (acui-ty about comprehensive*, butthat a decision may be reachedin the first semester.

Court Convenes InMoronia"Bootle indicated that only the fresh-men who had already been convictedof violations would be called up infront of chapel They would be triadthe night before the ... chapel."

THE DAVIDSONIAN, May 13. 1960Jim Booties promise of "reform"

was made last spring, when the Courtof Control was threatened with ex-tinction But Monday's chapel session,true to every barbaric tradition of theCourt, confirmed our suspicion:Booties promise was no more than apious gesture.

The Court, we are told, exists toaid inexperienced freshmen in ad-justing to college life. It's all good,clean fun

The titter which runs through themob when an ugly freshman standsup: this is good, clean fun.

When an effeminate freshman isindicted, the roars which follow himdown the aisle are uttered to ease hisadjustment to college life.

The jeering, the catcalls are offeredin a spirit of mature brotherly con-cern for freshman welfare.

Actually, were just counseling the

fellas.Hogwash.The Court of Control exists be-

cause stupid people have a vested in-terest in stupidity.

It exists because good sense can al-ways be voted down by yahoos andsadists.

It exists because cruelty has beendisguised in the trappings of good,clean fun.

The Court of Control acts toughbecause toughness is the only resortof those who are dead wrong, and thebullies jeer so loudly because they'rehidden in the mob.

We don't believe in 'reforming"the Court of Control. That would belike trying to cure a leper with Band-Aids

The Court should be abolished—

thesooner the better. — E S D.

A Step For Academic ExcellenceComprehensive examinations are

not a panacea for every school's acad-emic problems, but reports of suc-cess from so many good colleges anduniversities indicate that the systemis certainly worth thorough investi-gation and probable application.

It is evident that a student can nowgraduate from Davidson by crammingfor his semester examinations andnever having to synthesize the knowl-edge he has acquired during his fouryears at Davidson. We feel that thepurpose of a liberal arts education isnot being realized when students areunable to relate or recall the majorityof the work they have been examinedon Only in the honors program is astudent even required to review thework done in his major subject.

In a DAVIDSOXIANinterview earl-ier this week Dean Johnston said."Comprehensive examinations can begood for Davidson College if properlyadministered.' We agree with DeanJohnston and feel that it is up to thefaculty and administration to see thatthe comprehensive examinations areproperly administered.

Proof that it is possible to admin-ister effective comprehensive exami-nations is exemplified by the state-ments of officials from outstandingcolleges and universities which have

tried the system. Anofficial of a well-known southern university has stat-ed. "We have had comprehensive ex-aminations for so long a time that itis almost impossible to determine theeffect of the examination on our acad-emic tone. We consider that our pro-gram has merit ...Both faculty andstudent body take the comprehensivefor granted. It is simply a part of theprogram that must be successfullymastered.

"

An official of one of the leadingIvy League colleges has stated, "Ithink without any question the exis-tence of the comprehensive examina-tions quickens the whole intellectualtone of the college. .. If we did nothave such a program here. Iwouldstrongly urge its adoption."

Wi' hope that the curriculum com-mittee will appoint a special commit-tee to investigate comprehensivesand take action as soon as possible.We feel the adoption of such examin-ations will be a definite step towardstudent maturity and academic excel-lence.

In following weeks THE DAVID-SONIAN will investigate the issue ofcomprehensive examinations in moredetail and offer specific suggestionsfor their introduction at Davidson.— R.L M.

Normality And The Fantastic IdeaEverything is back to normal, now.The freshman, who a week ago was

wined and dined with shrimp, fruitpunch, cold cuts and hot bull, is backdown to the level of first year collegeboy

The rush week veneer is beginningto crack, and the sharp guy you gavethe house to is carrying your laundry.He'll probably begin to run stud nextweek, and before long he'll have tosing for his supper and then give uphis dessert to asophomore. He'll makethree 100s in a row on the pledgemanual tests, then take grilling fromthe brothers because he got a "D" onPolley's bible

It's going to be different next year— sophomore rush, you know. Nopledges. But this sophomore rush (it'ssupposed to give the freshman moretime to get an education, strengtheninterest in extra-curriculars) is onshaky ground right now. Most of thestudent body is opposed to it and afew faculty members may be mulling

over their spur-of-the-moment deci-sion of last May. It can be brought upat any future faculty meeting and vot-ed upon again. Andmaybe they mightjust vote the whole ugly idea rightback out.

We doubt it.Unless. . . Well, heck, it's too fan-

tastic to think about.But what if pledges suddenly had

more time to spend on Polley's bibleand debating and the newspaper andthe freshman basketball team?

Why, fraternities could cut outstud-running and laundry-carryingand paddle-signing. They could sub-stitute a point systemunder which thepledges earn that pin with decentgrades and participation in extra-cur-ricular activities and intercollegiatesports.

Well,beck, it's too fantistk to thinkabout. Everybody knows you've gotto harrass those boys to pull 'em to-gether, to make 'em fit in.

It Just Doesn't Pay felTo Try For Breakfast E«

By BILL ARMSfptONGSome days it just doesn't pay

to get up. Take last Tuesdayfor example. Go on, don't be acoward, take it! Imanaged tosleep through the allotedbreak-fast hour at my fraternityhouse, as usual, and so Ihad togroggily make my way to theCollege Union.

Here, Ithought, here, In thissanctuary for all men, here Iwould find refreshment for myfamished body and soul, andperhaps get something to eat,too.

SAO SIARCH, But alas, my troubles hadjust begun. For I found thatthe snack bar wasn't officiallyopen

— although I thought Icould hear Ruth squealingsomewhere in the kitchen.

Broken hearted, but stillgame, Istumbled toward thestudent store and the array ofvending machines that awaited.With trembling fingers, Idroppedmy nickel into the slot."Glug-urk. clink," went themachine.

Frantically. Ipulled a kneb,ao particular knob, just anyknob,Ihate breakfast anyway.■Gugga. gugga,

"moaned the

machine as it vibrated with ef-fort. "Clank.' it treat, "clank.

clank."

That was all. No candy, nonothing. Ipushed the coin re-turn. "Ssss," hissed the ma-chine in displeasure. No coin,no candy, no nothing.

BIG GYPGetting down on my knees,

I pushed my hand up into thecandy slot and wiggled myfingers. "Grrr, ' the machinewarned, and Ibeat a hasty re-treat. "So, what's a nickel?"Iphilosophied.counting my fing-ers asIweakly approached thecoke machine.

With a bit of apprehension,Idropped my penny in thecoin machine. 'Clash, Crunch,"gurgled the machine. Next,the nickel followed, "Blub-up,"welcomed the machine as themechanism went to work.Wheels turned, bells rang,gears meshed, and slowly, ma-jestically a cup dropped intoview.

Wide eyed with wonder, Iwatched the machine as a lightflashed on and off. "Hiss," themachine urged, "hiss, hiss."That was all, just a cup and ahiss, no coke, no coin, nothing.

Broken in mind and spirit, Istumbled back to the snack bar.But there, as in a dream, mywildest hopes were realized.For there, behind the counter,stood a crew-cut young man,eager and willing to serve myevery wish.

LAST STRAWWith one valiant effort, I

threw myself on the counter infront of him and gasped outmy request, "A milk shake,quick!"

A frown crowed his hand-some face. "Vat est dast, shookmilk?" he asked. "How est dastmade?"

Revolution SeethesBeneath The Beanies

Ay JIM TANNERTo beanie, or not to beanie... that is the question.These memorable words, in-

spired by the presence of oneof said beanies on said writer'shead, might be called the topicsentence in the paragraph ofthis weeks freshmen activities.

TOP CASTROThese innocuous little ob-

jects have inspired more dis-cussion, aroused more spirit,kindled more rebellion, andgenerally created more mentaland physical turmoil than theCastro regime.

If such as these can arouseyoung America's blood to theboiling point, think of the feverpitch that could be reachedover something of real import-ance

—the banning of Bardot,

to cite one nightmarish possi-bility.

Who says America has nospirit or unity? How can any-one say that the South willnever rise again, if the limp redform of a beanie can bring forthsuch waves of rebellion? Amer-ica, take heart!

HEIL, HITLERIThe class of '64 is at hand-

out of hand for the moment,perhaps— absorbing the knowl-

edge to be gained by riots,beanie burns, and other formsof higher education.

The implications of this re-bellious freshman spirit aretremendous and far-reachingImagine the consequent

Hitler had had such beanie toarouse his troops! These littlefelt fedoras obviously affect thelogic and emotional stability ofthe wearer.

Who knows jiow many unmoulded young minds hawbeen led astray, how much potentially useful brain tissue isnow ruined, squeezed into arumpled, twisted wreck by thoconfines of a beanie?

BOOTLE OF PILLS

There is only one cflectiv.-cure for this rebelliousness toward beanies: a bootlc

— pardon,bottle— of bitter pills, whichare usually handed out free ofcharge in assembly. These boot... bottles are distributed bya funereal group of Davidsonupperclassmen whose headsapparently arc so hard thattheir freshman year beaniewearing left them unaffectedRegrettably.

DR. AUBREY N. BROWN, Jr. P^t

Editor's Note: Dr. Aubrey N. Brown Jr., class of 1929, is the

editor of The Presbyterian Outlook. Through the years he hatmaintained a continued interett in Davidson, and especially inTHE DAVIDSONIAN.

The yearsIspent at Davidson shook my world. Noclass or professor or person can account for it. Nobody,so far as Iknow, tried to give me a set of new ideas. Itwas a time of upheaval in many ways, not the least ofwhich included implications of the Scopes evolutiontrial in Dayton, Tcnn,and the apparent downfall of my.to then, hero, William Jennings Bryan, with his literalistic interpretation of the Bible.

At Davidson 1 came to understand something of theunity of truth: truth in one sphere will never cancel outother truth. This was liberating.

Unless wehave our worlds shaken in some such waywe collect a strange assortment of habits of thoughtand behavior, social conformities, reflections of ourenvironment. We may settle down with them for therest of our lives. In fact, we may do so anyway.

Today's social revolution makes it almost impossibleto keep the lid on the box of familiar ways we haveknown and loved. We are being challenged to come toterms with the status of people, the place of privilegedgroups, and to look with penetration at all human rela-tionships.

F. Scott Fitzgerald left the plot of an unwritten playFive widely separated members of a family inherit agreat house

—if they can live in it together!

This is a parable of our world. We have to learn tolive with each other or this rich and wonderful world willbelong to none of us.

Icongratulate this generation of Davidson studentsonbeingrealists. They know;enough about history andsocial change to understand that they must come toterms with the new demands of our day.

They wisely want Davidson to be great in ways thatcannot be so easilydescribed. They know that Davidson'sresources

— traditions, money and solid families in itsconnection

— are not so much to be praised in our homecircle as cast in the balance in the demanding struggleahead of us.

These realistic students, it seems to me, are callingfor more intensive emphases along such lines as:— rising above the regional and secular culture to

pioneer in fulfillment of our academic traditions,Christian concern and domestic ideals;

-r-deeper student involvement in domestic and worldaffairs;—a sports policy, devoted basically to participationand development of every student, and subservientto sound academic goals;

—democratic expressions of campus living that willbecome as famous as Davidson's traditional campusfriendliness.Students see that rather than suffering for blazing

new trails, a college like Davidson lifts a standard thatwill inspire many others.There are students, parents andgenerousgivers whoare eagerly waiting to be challengedby a college of such dedication.Iam grateful to Davidson. Iam also convinced that

Davidson mustbe unique in its service to this generation—not in some superficial, trival or commonplace manner, but in the quality of its dedication to the highest.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Court's Use Of Chapel,Its Methods Draw ScornForrest RolesDear Editor:

In my short stay at David-son. Iam most disturbed bythe Court of Control. Ihavemade an investigation into itand here arc my findings andconclusions.

The three most commonlystated purposes of the Courtarc: (1) to Davidsonizc fresh-men to keep the "hallowedtraditions" of the college; (2)to remove the cockiness by hu-miliation; and (3) to unite thefreshman class. .These arc wor-thy aims, but they wouldhardly justify the means, ovenif they were accomplished.

In its efforts, the Court ig-nores the first purpose, con-centrates on the second, andaccomplishes the third. It isimpractical to hope to enforceiDavidson's traditions by force,iwithout a good policing system.!The Court simply does nothave this.

It can at most hope to pickout the 'cocky" freshmen andhumiliate them; however thistends only to challenge the

Ifreshmen to defy the Court,thus encouraging cockiness.But they need to unify forstrength, and thus the fresh-man class is united.

If the Court does unify thefreshman class, what's wrong

THE DAVIDSONIAN wel-comes letters to the editorfrom any of itsreaders.Theyshould be typed, doublespaced, and signed by theauthor. Letters must ordi-narily be limited to 250words.

Letters may be addressedto the paper. Box 218, David-son, or given to a memberof the staff. They should bein the hands of the paper by7 p.m. Wednesday to appearthe following Friday.

with it? The answer li itsmoans I spc nbthing benefi-cial in dragging an unluckyfrr>hman. whose only crime isforgetting his beanie and hav-ing an enemy among the up-perclassmen, before the wholestudent body to be hissed,booed, and ridiculed for anoffence he has not bei-n triedfor.

The Court's Gestapo tacticsmake a mockery of justice and"the Davidson Gentlemen.

'

These tactics are obnoxiousand degrade a college that istrying to be Christian.Finally. 1 challenge the

Court of Control, and the Stu-dent Council to justify thishazing of freshmen either mor-ally, legally, or practically.

Forrest H. Roles

Joe EifortDear Editor:

A week or so before Icameback to school, Igot a letterfrom the college concerning, inpan. chapel conduct.Iquote from this document:

"It is our conviction that ourproper procedure is not to elim-inate these assembles but totry to make them better andmore meaningful."

Last Monday, in the tacendassembly of the yeir, we wit-netted a procedure in whichthe purpose apparently was tohumiliate and intimidate sev-eral members of the freshmanclatt. If this was not the avowedpurpose, it was at least whatwas accomplished in severalcases. Does it not seem thatthere is some inconsistency?

Possibly the freshman regula-tions serve a good purpose

—that is not my concern. How-<'v«t. it does seem that the Col-lege readily permits activity inchapel that is not in accordwith the word and spirit ofthat contained in the letterwhich Ireceived.Iquote again: "It is the be-

lief of the writer that miscon-duct at these services is basedin a large extent upon badhab-its

— . . ." It is unlikely that abad habit will be broken if itis condoned.

Marrotte SkepticalOf Booters' Builds

By JIMMY LEWIS

Davidsonian Sports Writer

With less than two weeks remaining before the firstsoccer game with Belmont Abbey,Coach Paul Marrotte,alias History Professor Marrotte, has thrown some skep-ticism on the previously optimistic prospects for thisseason.

With U littermen returning

irmn last JfWf'l --quad, "Mar-roth's Men" arc expected toat least match last years 73won lost record.

However, Coach Marrotteemphasiies that "under nostretch of the imagination isthis going to automaticallybe a successful season, sim-ply because we have12 or 13lettermen returning. I mustMy thjt I'm not particularlyoverjoyed with the practicesso far. We »rt progressing,but there's a long way to gobefore we'll be ready.. ."

Coach Marrotte also pointedout that although eight starting positions are Sairly defin-ite, that doesn't mean that themen who hold them are readyto go.

He cites star center forward,Mike Uughlin. as the onlyplayer who i» performing aswell as he did at the end oflast season Marrotte says."MikeU now playing the best'he cvei

i has."Jot> Kelly and George Kun I, <lahl were also noted as tWQJ

I who are doing ver> well in jpractice.

Those man out for soccerinclude six foreign students.Two of them, Wolfle Mayerhofer of Austria and JohnSfrating of th* Netherlands,are expected to crack thestarting lineup. Another for-eign student, Arnold Kroner,

who has just arrived fromGermany, loom* at a goodprospect for the team.

Coach Marrotte also statesI that due to the lack of a coach. -Mr. John Kuykcndall would" make a good one

— arrange-> ments are not yet complete forr freshman soccer practice.

Yet even as Coach Marrotte, complains of a coaching defic-< lency and criticizes some of hisi players' performances in prac-! lice, one can still detect a dis-: tiBci tone of optimism in his■ voise.

A VOTE of confidence must go out to the varsity forits performance last weekend. Catawba was stoppedcold by Dole's well-oiled defensive machine on its trialrun. The Indians could not sustain a single drive. Theironly scoring came on a surprise 54-yard pass play. FiveCatawba first downs told the story.

"Cornell has the largest athletic program in the tourtry, with 21 varsity and 18 freshman sports. We arblessed with a superb plant, many of the finest faciliticmade possible by the generosity of our alumni .. .HLtoricalty the basic source of revenue for the support cintercollegiate athletics has been football receipts. I_tUly expen.ses are multiplying as football income has beediminishing. This creates a budgetary predicament . .The big problem is finances. Football is the only breatwinner and there has been a successful effort to de-pre:surize it.So it is notnow winningnearly its former sharof break...

"There is nothing wrong with football. It is a magniicent game which can do important things for this unversity, as it used to. It brings back more alumni thaany other event It has emotional appeal which is stimtlating . . Iam profoundly disturbed by its fall froiimportance in our Cornell scene. Football will be a fattor in American lives as long as young college boys havmuscles and a sense of adventure and daring. It widraw watchers as long as it is played. The number (

Last year there .was consid-erable doubt whether Eckbertwouldbe able toplay. However.it has been confirmed that hewill be eligible and ready togo against Pembroke.

Along with Eckbert. WhittleLi expecting a great deal fromDaridGilmour.Last year Davidwas tied up with labs andcouldn't get going. But thestory has changed and so farthis year David has been look-ing good.

Leafer, the oneand two men onlast year's freshman team, areback and both have been doingan exceptionally fine Job.

Also Thompson, the teamcap-tain, and Tom Martin shouldbe a tremendous help this year.

her one and taw sports are stillqady^Aii The battle to aw

who gains possession of thesespots will be between Eckbert,David Gilmour, and SterlingMartin.

Whittle seemed very pleasedin his outlook for this season.

He said that he has a finegroup of boys to work with, jand when asked how they werecoming along he responded,"The boys are working hardbut won't be in top shape forthe Pembroke meet. However,they should be ready for WakeForest since they are makingrapid progress."

The only slip-up came whenCatawba"s Ronnie Ball surprisedeverybody midway through the

Twenty-nine men had a handin the victory

Coaeh Hil! Dole, three daysbefore tin game, faced a di-lemma. Mis number one andtwo fullbacks-Bob McAllisterand Carl Hunt— were ailingScrambling around for anotherman, he found Junior LynwoodMallard, who produced 76 yardsin 16 tries.

Halfbacks Jerry Sheffieldand (iranl McRorie displayedlast year's dash. Sheffield car-ried from the two-yardline forDavidson's second score

Dole, figuring that his em-phasis on defense would re-quire a good punter, polishedCenter Tom Simpson for theopener. But the Wildcats wereforced to kick only three times-

Sustaining their control ofthe ball on several occasions.|the Cats moved 80 and 70iyards within seven minutes fortheir six-pointers.

AS EXPECTIBThere was a minimum of mis-

takes (Dole counted only two)as Davidson played a well-planned, steady game.

The team"* forward move-ment mired down somewhat inthe second half, but it was afar throw from their experi-ence in 19B0. when the "fourthquarter collapse" earned a let-ter here.

Oriental SalutationsDepict Respect. Love

By KOOKIE KAPOORRichardson Scholar

Every country has its own traditional manner ofgreeting; in the western world it is the handshake. Thecountries of the east have a more diversified nature,with a greater accent on symbolical value.

The Japanese bow in greet-ing; in India, the movementsand gestures are both complexand simple, but no matter whatcategory they fall into eachconveys a deep and genuinesense of respect and affection.A proper understanding willfurnish a true insight into therich, significant meaning of Un-typical Indian form of greet-ing

The 'namaste" is the simplerform of greeting; it parallelsthe western hand-shake, usual-ly being a rather cursory orformal gesture. The namasteinvolves the joining of bothpalms of the hands, the fing-ertips pointing upwards to-wards the tip of the nose.

Thi- hands should be keptin a rather hard-pressed posi-tion, with no movement to eith-er side or up and down; theyshould be still and motionless,the palms coming up to thechest, the thumbs directly in

front of the throat, and thejoined fingers forming a can-opy like barrier.

At first glance, the namasteappears to be just another formof greeting. However, there isa deep symbolism and signif-icance of meaning in these ges-tures. The greeting evolved inthe ancient days of feudal lords,days of discord and distrust,when survival was a problemand when open killing was an

accepted and recognized factThe folded hands convey a

sense of physical helplessnessbeing placed high on the chestin full view of the other per-son. The finger nails pointingupwards towards the nose pre-vent a sudden lightning jab.The elbows are turned inward,touching the ribs; the sameprinciple of physical impotenryapplies to this. The placementof the hands and arms alsoforms an effective safeguardover the vulnerableparts of thebody

Besides the physical aspect*,the namaste has a hygienic fignificance. The hand shakebrings the palms of two peopletogether If one has a skin in-fection, he or she is liable toconvey it to the other. Thenamaste overcomes this seem-ingly insignificant, and. tosome, rather farfetched, dang-er.

No part of the body isbrought into contact with thatof another person. Indeed inthe namaste distance is not abarrier as long as one can s*oand hear the other.

This is not a vainglorious at-tempt to install meaning andsignificance into a seeminglyinsignificant motion: an under-standing of the namaste willgive you considerable pleasureif you should have the oppor-tunity of seeing it performed.

?orps Revamps,Get New DutiestOTC Cadet Corpshas undergone a major change with-r. The Corps will be composed of four companies, annpany. Each semester there will be only twenty-sevenLire set-up as compared to the seventy or more officersing of the Corps.

The S-4. Cadet Major BobMoor*, has th« tupply func-tion for all the cadets. H«personally most assign eachman his woapon, supervisethe ear* andcleaning of thesepieces, and issue any otherequipment needed by the in-dividual cadoH. At Hi* andof the semester he will b*required to account for allarticles issued.

Since there will only be four■adet companies this year, their<ize will be greatly inereased>ver that of the past years. Aniniinum of one hundred menwill comprise each company

with a Cadet Captain in charge.The company commanders forthis semester are Ed Kizer.TedQuantz, Tom Parker, and BobDenham.

The Honor Guard will re-turn to its former trie of onlyon* platoon, approximatelythirty men. with Cadet 1st Lt.WilliamF. Doan* at it* com-mandor.Cadet Captain Ervia Duggan

h land before the game, then play,1 .1! half-time and time-outs."

Mess continued.In explaining how the Wild

cat Band got started. Hess stat-

I ed that the Athletic Depart-ment wanted a band to play atall football games, since theDavidson ROTC band was notplaying at all the games.

WEST IDEA"Last spring Mr. Frank West

asked me to consider organiz-ing and directing a new non-marching band similar to the"pep bands" at other collegesand universities. Istarted look-ing for boys who would be in-terested last spring, checkedon music during the summer,and came back early this fallto get everything lined up."

We feel that the WildcatBand is a student organizationin every way. Although Mr.Wmt is serving as our advisor,we arrange our own Wednesdayand Friday rehearsals, andwe're relatively self-sufficient,"Hess added.

"We appreciate the supportof the Music Department, theAthletic Department, and theAdministration. The AthleticDepartment has told us that:members of the Wildcat Band1

who remain in good standing1!for two years will receive aschool letter. Freshmen andsophomores in our band will beexcused from Physical Educa-tion classes until Thanksgiv-

FORMER ROTC BAND"Many of the twenty-six

members of the Wildcat BandIare members or former mem-Ibers of the ROTC band. All thojmembers of our group havehad experience in high school,"Hess added, "and all of themwere chosen because they areexcellent players."

Hess stated that althoughthere arc men on the waitinglist to get into the WildcatBand, "we arc still looking foranother cornet player."

Hesv a sophomore this year,served a< drum major andpresident of the concert bandat Lane High School in bisborne town.Charlottesville.Vir-ginia. Last year he played thetrombone in the ROTC bandand the Concert Band.
