John Biddlc and several appearances by comedian Fred Smoot high- light upcoming events in the Student Union, according to Pe- ter Parrott, newly-elected pres- ident of the Union Staff Board. On Tuesday Capt. Biddlc will present a sailing program in conjunction with the Davidson Sailing Club and the Union Board. Parrott commented that Biddle "is one of America's foremost sailors. In the pro- gram, he moderates a 90-min- ute film and is often very amus- ing. We expect a big turnout." There will be no charge. Jonas Mekas. whom Parrot: terms as "the biggest man in underground films in the United States," will be on campus Wednesday to present two of his films and hold an open discus- sion afterwards. The week of April 25-30 Fred Smoot will make several ap- pearances in a program built around him. Definite plans are not yet ready for release, ac- cording to Parrott. Talking about the Union Board in general. Parrott said, "We've gotten the board together, re vamped the whole setup and got a more organized, tighter and hopefully more efficient board than in the past. "The board Is staffed by peo pie both capable and interested in getting the job done." Members this year include Parrott, Bob Dugger. vice- president of current programs: Chris Hawk, vice-president of new programs; Charlie Elliot, secretary; Ben King, social chairman: Joe Obenshain, di- rector of the Union library.

The budget which has been submitted to the college, larger than usual because of delayed rush, includes money for an offset printing press for gen eral college use. Parrott expressed his expec- tation of the Union Board's "having the type programs eventually to draw the whole student body . . . and. . . work- ing in conjunction with other organizations. "We will definitely have more social activities," including probably three freshmen mixers next year. Colonel Compliments ROTC Department Cadet Col. Jerry B. Blackstock, Cadet Brigade Commander, was pleased with the very excellent drill. The inspecting team left for Wake Forest College late Tues day afternoon. Last year, due to smaller teams of inspectors, the drill inspection was not nearly so detailed. However, this year there were seven offi- cers, three from the Third Army and two each from Wofford Col- lege and Furman University, and two sergeants. The ROTC department was paid its second visit in as many days by federal government personnel when on Wednesday afternoon a team, representing the Department of Army, tour- ed the ROTC facilities. Heading the group was C. Owen Smith, assistant to the secretary and the undersecre- tary of the Army, Colonel Jack Hemingway, also an assistant to the undersecretary. Colonel Scott Case of Third Army Head- quarters and Dr. Richard de NevfvUle. a White House Fellow, comprised the remainder of the group. The purpose of their visit was to express the interest of the Department of the Army in the ROTC program, and to observe the actual operation of the ROTC department. The tou " began with a con- ference with college officials, ::nd concluded with an inspec- t!on of the facilities and a brief ir.t by th"> cadet bngade staff. The ROTC Department and Brigade received superlative compliments as a result of Tues day's federal inspection. Col. K. L. Scott, who led the team of nine inspectors, said "Of the five universities we have in spected. we consider Davidson's program to be the best. "The facilities are the best, the esprit de corps appears very high, and good leadership is evident throughout the pro- gram. I think the program here at Davidson is one which the President of the College should be very proud of." he continued. A written report will go to the Third Army headquarters. But the departmental officers received an oral briefing from the inspectors: the inspecting team found no significant thing whatsoever to be unsatisfactory. Instead, all comments were extremely complimentary. Ma- jor McCue and Capt. Kennedy of Woford College said, "The drill today was extremely sharp." McCue went on to say. "The cadets were exception- ally knowledgeable on military subjects and showed good will ingness to answer questions. The cadre (regular army officers in the ROTC department) and the cadet br ga le staff are to be very highlv oraised for getting the men r such fin.' shape." Col. Fredrick B.

Spring Frolics '66 will be a very wet weekend,v hazardous driving conditions devel

opingThursday night and continuingmostly throughnoon Sunday.

Some "00 Davidson gentlemen with the helpof their dates will consume at least 300 gallonsof legal alcohol worth some $5,000. Each couplewill travel during the weekend an average of 150miles on the highway, most of this distance un-der the influence of those 300 gallons. About$8,000 will be spent on parties and combos.

Housing costs for dates will run close to $5,000.

The food bill will be at least $7,500 more. A conservative estimate of Spring Frolics '66 comes toabout $25.000— only about a fifth of which willfind its way into the Davidson economy.

Because the traditional mores of Davidson College and rural North Carolina still cling to thebelief that morality (abstinence! can be legislated,there wfll be only a few minor automobile mishaps and scrapes"with the law— if we are lucky.There will be many near tragedies— this could bethe weekend when'the ship hits the sand.

It is a crying shame that other towns' ABCstores restaurants and taverns should get all thatstudent money With a little ingenuity. Davidson'stown council 'couid do something more than perpetuate themselves in office— like reduction of taxrates and civic improvement with new tax reve-nues.

More importantly, the lives of 1.400 wouldnot be forced into danger on the highway-

WHY WE CAME TO COLLEGE...No one will deny that the focal point of the col

lege experience should be the development of theintellect. But there is a place in a campus commu-nity for a little organized hell raising. The sameforces that impel brilliant students to develop theirintellects also require more violent physical outlets.

To grow into effective men. most males mustassert their masculinity in forms their society mayofficially condemn. Somehow this energy must beexpended in a manner satisfactory to the anti-so-cial impulses and without bringing down the law inthe community.

This revolt, often against authoritarianism, isfrequently a forerunner of creative ability and pro-vides the"energy which maturation will channel. Tosmother this fire with a tough drill or a puritanicaladministration is to encourage this energy to reappear in a more violent form.

In short, the more violent recreational outletsof Davidson gentlemen— i.e. alcohol and sex

—are

legitimate activities and concerns for the campuscommunity. That college should be foremost anintellectual endeavor is true, but life in a campuscommunity inrolves more than this The Davidsoncampus should be a community in conflict or dialogue. In such a community there is no area ofstudent lives that should be free of critical examination.

Our objective should be a more mature andvital student intellectually, physically and sociallyTo deny facilities and dialogue for these more violent physical outlets is to hinder this objective unnecessarily.

The phrase "spring frolics" conjures up a beautiful nymph in some idyllic glen on a leisurelyday in the warm green spring. Too bad most ofus have to run from one place to another to get inall that we paid for this weekend

Behind every Davidson Don Juan stands somehot little wonder who initiated him into the rites ofSoring This is the daydream that has little semblance to what really happens on Davidson danceweekends: everyone is too tired or too high to careor remember that everything was too rushed

For the seniors this is the last dance weekendAnd while most of us will enjov this one. we'reready to move on. Here's hoping that Spring Frolics'66 is all the fun and excitement that a good danceweekend should be. But for us seniors, thereshould be a willing and eager acceptance that thisis the last.

FRIDAY, APRIL 15, 1966 THE DAVTOSON1AN

A Freshman Plans. Schemes,Celebrates (?) First Frolics

April is the month of show-ers, flowers, and the birds andthe bees. At this time of year,signs of the Davidson gentleman's primitive instincts, precariously subdued since springbreak, come bursting out allover. And so Davidson College,acquiescing to the mounting organic rumblings of the studentbody, schedules Spring Frolicsto permit a brief excursion intothe mysterious world or thesebirds and bees.

Since Spring Frolics is cer-tainly no ordinary weekend thefreshman splurges and inviteshis best girl from back home.The chance to practice all thecool lines, approaches, and

tricks which he has learned inthree greuling months of pledgetraining has finally arrived.

About two weeKs in advance,he begins preparations by mak-ing a trip to the nearest ABCstore— in Charlotte or Mooresville— with an older fraternitybrother.

He spends the final week ob-serving the coolest upperclass-men and putting the finaltouches on his technique. Al-ready the frosh imagines himself as the classic hero JamesBond, casually sweeping the rav-en haired beauty off her trem-bling toes. He is ready to conquer the world in one gloriousweekend.

His first disillusionmentcomes Friday afternoon whenhis date arrives grinning broad-ly and sporting ten new poundswhich she did not need. Theyhug hello and spend the afternoon getting rcacquainted andreadjusted. She: "Did you hearabout Susie dropping out ofschool?" "'He: "No kidding."He: "Did you know that Sammay get drafted?" She: "Gee.that's awful."

At the concert they relax.She is relieved— for two wholehours she will not have to carrythe burden of a conversation. Heis relieved— for two wholehourshe will not have to act inter-ested.

After the concert, there iv thelong walk from Chambers tothe fraternity house. Awkward-ly out of tune with the roman-tic glow of soft moonlight andglittering stars around them,they hold hands and try to actnatural. But the clasped handscannot bridge the barrier

At the after party the heretofore tee totaling rreshman hasbetrayed himself by asking fora bourbon and whisky. Thefreshman begins his nativedance: as the drinks take effeet, the gyrations grow wilder.

Then, hot and sweaty, hebelts down a couplp more drinksand takes his girl outside for awalk.

DANCING BEHIND LOCKED DOORS

He blinked his sleepy eyes then yawned, showing a glimpse of a green tongue thai the long winter's sleep had kept hidden like a miser'l first halleagle.

Slowly he began to rise, stretched oaken armsthat were becoming futzy green withspring, staggered to his mirror, a clear poo! of April rainwater, andsplattered dogwood blossoms behind his ears.

"* V ■■ ■ at *aV■ ■ ■■ ■ ■ a?Spring Frolics: How Things Have Changed!Spring Frolics '66 will be an

event far-removed from comparablecelebrations of 1901, 1925, or even1953 when dancing was prohibited oncampus and drinking was prohibitedeverywhere.

Frolics has painfully emergedfrom "Junior Speaking," a creationof the 1890s that served as a frontfor the Spring's most important socialevent.

Since no dancing was allowed oncampus during the 1920 30s lit wasboth illegal and a sin to dance oncampus until 1945). fraternities helddances off campus in exotic localeslike Concord, Mooresville and Charlotte (things really haven't changedmuch).

NO DRINKING PROBLEMNo real "drinking problem" ex-

isted at this time because Davidson

was attended only by Gentlemen, butthe admissions committee did make afew errors, and a small minority diddrink, but Dr. Chalmers Davidson,professor of history, stated that onedrank at his own risk.

The drinking rule during this period did not allow drinking on or offcampus— even in a student's ownhome, and Student Council officerswere honor bound to enforce this ruleagainst all who were seen consumingthe foul brew.

Dr. Davidson said that he can re-member hiding his roommate whowas drinking at a fraternity partyfrom the president of the StudentCouncil,(the Betas have always beencampus leaders, as history proves.)

Although student count:! mem-bers were honor bound to reportdrinking violations, dancing on cam-

iillwith us (its last appearance be-ing the ill fated vespers "boycott" t.Such agitation resulted in a rulechange to allow drinking off campus.

But as an example to how strictly the drinking rule off campus hadbeen enforced, the son of the presidentof a nearby college who was attendingDavidson in theearly '50's was shippedhome from school for having con-sumed a beer in Greensboro.

As already stated (many wordsback), Spring Frolics evolved fromJunior Speaking. The first Frolics washeld on April 26 and 27, 1946. andconsisted of a Formal Dance on Friday night (R.S.V.P.. no less) and asemi formal on Saturday night. Bothdances were held in Johnston Gym.

FORMAL TRADITIONThe tradition of a formal on Fri-

day and a semi-formal on Saturdaylasted until 1959 when the Frolics'dances consisted of a semi-formal onFriday and casual wear on Saturday.By 1961 both dances had degeneratcd to informal, and now there aren'teven any dances.

The highlight of the dances dur-ing the early '50's was the "Figure"which was the grand march of all ofthe fraternity presidents and theirdates For a few years, a Queen ofthe Dance was elected by a facultycommittee, but "since all the girlscried, not only the losers but thewinner also, this event was abolished."Dr. Davidson stated.

During the early '50s, when hoopskirts were "in." a freakish eventhappened. The scene was the "Figure"at a Spring Frolics" dance in JohnstonGym. There were no lights exceptlor a globe hanging from the celling(it the gym and a light behind the band

d which sOlouetted tin- couplesWhen the third couple met at the

tup of the bandstand to march down,tin- date, wearing a rather thin hoopskirt, and sillouetted by the light shining from behind, appeared completely naked before the Frolics' crowd.Needless to say. faculty members coirected the problem.

The history of Spring Frolics ofDavidson has been a long and colorfulone. We've moved from "JuniorSpeaking" to rock 'n' roll singers andfrom "folk games" lo after parties.Spring Frolics is obviously far differ-ent than it was 40 years ago. Wonderwhat it'll be like in the year 2000?■SOUNDS GREAT. BUT THERE'S ONE THING IDON'T UNDERSTAND—

THESE "SOCCER TRYOUTS"TONIGHT AT 10

pus was not a violation of the studentbody regulations (only the faculty sawit as a sin). Dr. Davidson said he canremember dancing at the fraternityhouses with the doors locked and theshades drawn.

But the faculty was not completely governed by backward indivuals during the late '30's. In 1938 itruled that "square dancing" was notdancing but a "folk game," so mightbe indulged in on campus.

In 1944 under the leadership ofPresident John H Cunningham ("SlickJohn" to most people), the Trusteesaccepted the faculty's recommendationthat the students be permitted to holdtheir dances on campus.

CAMPUS DANCINGSince on campus dancing was no

longer a sin, the first dance took placeon February 9, 1945. at the AlumniGymnasium (now the College Union),and from that day onward, aancingon the campus of Davidson Collegehas been legal.

But what happened to the "drinking problem" while dancing emergedout of sin into righteousness? During the '40's the fraternity partiesbecame rather "raunchy."according toDr. Davidson,and since student counoil members were honor bound to report drinking violations, and fraternity presidents were forced to testi-fy (there was do .Mh Amendment!,these students did not attend theirown fraternity parties to avoid heing forced to report their more fortunatc frieii'

But this problem was solved during the n i^n of Dean Samuel R. Spencer. The dean ruled that studentcouncil members were not honorbound to report drinking violations at

rnity parties, but bound only toenforce the nanly conduct"clause. This action was undoubtedlybo do away with the "raunchiness" at

But Dean Spencer moved on tobigger and better things and DeanJohn Bailey soon reversed the situation. Student council members andfraternity presidents were again puton the line.

NORTHERN CLOUDThen a huge dark cloud out of the

north began rolling into the DavidsonCollege community. This is the darkcloud of "Student Agitation" which

TOMCOOKOn Sports

White everyone has his mind on Spring Frolics, andno one really cares what is going on in Johnston Gym,Davidson's other basketball season, the recruiting sea-son, is heading toward the crucial stage.

Among fie confusing and endless terms like Davidson Letter of Intent,National Letter of Intent, grantin-aid and gentlemen's agreement.Coaches Lefty Driesell.Warren Mitchell and Terry Holland are like ino'ther henssitting gingerly on their eggs while looking for otherhens' eggs to add to their nests without pulling a CoacoGrick from "Oil Thorpe" fame.

The situation of Davidson's recruiting procedure islike walking on egg E entially, high .school seniorswho decide to apply to David on were cithei* accepted: (all or they were sent their lettersof acception or rejection vestertu

The onlj assurana Driesell has that a prospect w.illcome to David .on i his word, a gentlemen's agreement.He ii..' ■ I1," a Davidson Letter of Intent, but it only explains the terms of the "j-ant in aid the player will receive.

All the marbles rest on May 17. the first i\a\ onwhich a high school senior may sign a National Letterof Intent, which is. in effect, binding. Actually, this document is neither national nor legally binding, but themajority of Institutions in the country agree to honorIthj document as final indicationof a player's choice.

So until May 17 Drie-ell docs not have a singleplayer wrapped up. Those eggs must be kept warm intheir Davidson sweatshirt-;.

Rut Driesell has a gentlemen's agreement withJerry Kroll. a six foot five inch All Stater from HoustonMemorial High School. Besides leading his team to theTexas state championship, he was the only unanimouschoice to the Texas dream team.

Kroll was accepted Early Decision and will sign hisDavidson Letter of Intent when he finished his highschool sports career, a Texas rule.

Another red hot high school senior is Mike Malloy.a six foot seven inch prospect from Hallis, N. Y. Hewas here last weekend, and according to sophomoreWayne Crumwell, "He was very enthusiastic about Dav-idson." A study of his credentials as a student revealshe should have no trouble qualifying for admission, andCrumwell describes him as "very impressive, pretty goodon the floor and a great rebounder.

He was most impressed with Davidson by the waypeople come up and spoke to him. Crumwell. who spenta lot of time with him, noted, "I think Mike would makenot only distinguish Davidson on the court but academicaliy also.

The word on Charlie Scott comes from many sources.It is complicated and there are many factors involved,but there is a general consensus that Scott is coming toDavidson this fall. He has signed a Davidson Letter, butis still visiting college campuses. Besides Davidson, hehas been to Duke, North Carolina. West Virginia andProvidence, whose All American Jimmy Walker is aLaurinburg graduate.

Wayne Crumwell indicated that Scott is impressedwith Davidson and its academic standing. Driesell emphasizes that Scott's word is enough to convince him thatDavidson will be Charlie Scott's alma mater.

The most meaningful statement is Ciumwell's:'Charlie has said he will be going to Davidson."

They took out all the goldand silver, exploited the na-tives, and then brought in slavesfrom other parts of the world,ruining those civilizations. .

The result has been that there,are a few highly developed coun-tries and the rest of the worldis underdeveloped. And this isall the fault of the powerful na-tions.

sity in Belgium where he re French scientist philosopher whoceived his PhD. McMullan has died only a few years ago.been a visiting professor at a Dr. McMullan is interested innumber of universities across chardins evolutionary philosothe country and has spoken on pny whicn wls revealed inCharqudiiiuin mcinames, uanieo ,jjn s goofc phenomenon of Man.

IAccording to Dr. McMullan, thisbook is very hard to understandand perhaps that is why Dr.McMullan's talk was so hard tounderstand.

ToMcMullan. Chardin's theoryof evolution, which was nevermade particularly clear in thetalk is basic to philosophy aswell as to science. It super-cedes the Darwinian and neo-Darwinian schools and offers amuch more unified concept, no!only of the past, but also of thepresent and future.

In regard to the future. Mc-Mullan feels the importance ofChardin is that he advocates"looking" and "seeing" the gen-eral direction of history whichis causing man and society tobecomeprogressively more com-plex.McMullan mentioned Char-din's concepts of the "super-soul" and the "Omega Point,"then concluded by mentioningChardin's relevance to theology.

He suggested that In 100years, the only things that willremain from the Phenomenon ofMan are its theological impli-cations.

These pertain to the incarna-tion of Jesus Christ and his re-lationship to man and nature.In essence. McMullan believesthat philosophy, science, evolu-tionand theology are intrinsical-ly united and that the nature ofJesus Christ must be re-exam-ined in light of the recognitionof this unity.
