Gold and FizdalePresent ExcellentMoravian students had a unique musical experience in store
for them when they sat down to hear the duo-pianists Gold andFizdale last Monday night in Johnston Hall. The program in¬cluded Siciliene, originally a flute sonata by Bach, later arranged
for two pianos; Sonata in D ma¬jor for Fourhands by Mozart,Sonata for Two Pianos by thecontemporary French composer,Francis Poulenc. The Theme andVariations of Schubert and Scara-mouche by Darius Milhaud werealso featured.The performance, as a whole,
was characterized by great pre¬cision and control as well as care¬ful interpretation.Of special interest, was the
work by Poulenc, which was writ¬ten especially for the team. Thecomposition, like the rest of theprogram, was unique, colorful,and well done. We must all thankthe team of Gold and Fizdale forenriching our already rich cul¬tural setting.
Gold and Fizdale are seen above in a unique shot by Tom Haupert.
Indian ServiceInteresting Sum
by Joy JohnstonOn April 24, three students from Ursinus College spoke to a group
at a dinner meeting about a program which they founded and con¬ducted last summer and plan to continue this summer. The hostessfor the group was Dean Sartwell. No formal name has been given tothe project, which is one of teaching and recreation work at the Federal Elementary Boarding Indian School in Wahpeton, North Dakota.
The town of Wahpeton has a population of 6,000. It is located inthe southeastern corner of the state. The North Dakota State Schoolof Science is located in Wahpeton as are a couple of movie theaters,numerous churches, stores, and shops along a wide main street. TheIndian school campus is on one corner of the town, a mile from thebusiness district. It has a modern classroom building, two large dormi¬tories, dining room, laundry, bakery, Boy Scout cabin, arts and craftand home economics buildings, plus administrative and personnelhouses. All the employees belong to the Civil Service. All but two ofthe dormitory counselors and matrons were Indian, but only two ofthe teachers were Indian.
During the academic year the school's enrollment is 400. Welfareoffices determine the enrollment during the whole year, judging byreservation conditions and distance from schools. Prerequisites forattendance are that the children be at least one quarter Indian andlive on reservations under deprived conditions. Most of the childrenare Sioux or Chippewa from North and South Dakota. Their agesrange from six to sixteen.
The purpose of the school is to raise the standard of living andinstill a pride in their heritage. The college students learned some ofthis heritage in the form of Indian dancing, language and arts andcrafts. Local college students took the summer helpers to differentpoints of interest and they were incuded on school trips. The schoolalso arranged a tour for the students of the Sisseton Reservation.Students from Ursinus are planning to spend all or part of this sum¬
mer in Wahpeton. There will also be students from the North DakotaState University. The Ursinus students hope to continue the programand to include men and women from Moravian. There are noprerequis-ite talents or interests, but this summer should be of value to thoseparticularly interested in teaching, social work, or the AmericanIndian. Those who wish to consider the program should have a pleas¬ant personality and be dedicated to helping the children. What ismainly needed is a liking of children and willingness to be a com¬panion to them. Men are especially needed for hikes, camping tripsand sports.
Any one who is interested can contact Joy Johnston. For furtherinformation contact Kay O'Donnell at Ursinus College, Collegeville,Pa. If any students are interested a meeting can be arranged and theUrsinus and Moravian students can get together. Inquiries will notcommit anyone to this or following summers.
Dr. Sears GrantedSabbatical LeaveDr. G. Alden Sears, chairman
of the Moravian College Depart¬ment of Economics and BusinessAdministration, has been granteda sabbatical leave for the 1963-6 4 academic year to do researchabroad in local public finance.
He will leave in September forOxford University in Englandwhere he will conduct researchwith Prof. U. K. Hicks, a special¬ist in the economics of local gov¬ernment finance.
Dr. Sears' work will be direct¬ed towards the study and evalu¬ation of the economic effects ofrevenue and expenditure policiesof local governments, in light ofgrowing indications that policiesof local government exert an im¬portant influence upon the char¬acter and direction of economicgrowth.
His research will be an exten¬sion of work which he has alreadyeffects of the evolving revenuedone in evaluating the economicpatterns of local governments inthe United States.
In May and June of 1964 Dr.Sears plans to spend time in Yugo¬slavia where he will observe andobtain information on the econ¬omic role of local governmentsin that country.

Memoirs fromby Stan J. TJrevik
What will Moravian do for me? Four years ago I asked myself thatquestion. This is how I can now answer it.
As a liberal arts college Moravian believes that directand prolonged contact with the finest achievements of menprovides the essentials of a worthy program of humane stud¬ies. As a community of learning, Moravian seeks to promotegrowth in self-understanding, challenge the individual tohigh accomplishment, and provide a wholesome and construc¬tive social experience, so that the student may fulfill a respon¬sible role, not only in the collegiate community itself, but inthe various relationships of his life thereafter.
This goal, as prescribed in the College's "Statement of Purpose,"was fully implemented by positive action from all who were of sim¬ilar conviction. And to attain this goal, the following policy was uni¬versal and without compromise.
Moravian intends to give articulate and vigorous witness tothe Christian Faith, recognizing always the right of dissent,and ever eager to enter into discussion with those who ques¬tion or challenge this faith. The College respects the differingreligious convictions of its students and teachers, and encour¬ages each person to explore in depth the basis, meaning, andimplications of his own faith. Freedom of inquiry and expres¬sion, as Moravian College understands it, is not a concessionto the idea of tolerance; it is an absolute essential to theattainment of truth and to the development of mature char¬acter.
As a dissenter of sorts, I put that policy to the test. It held for allareas. And because it did, I can now say, with sincere gratitude tothose who helped me in my intellectual endeavors: I have weatheredmy storm. I have found my contentment. And I leave Moravian know¬ing it remains one of the first-rate colleges in the East.
These are my memoirs. They mark the end of the beginning.
'Berg Falls 5-0 InBout With FritzMoravian's sluggers defeated Muhlenberg 5-0, May 4 at Steel Field
behind the five hit pitching of Jan Fritz. This brought the Hounds'record to 6-6 and marked the second time they beat the Mules inBaseball this season.
Moravian scored single runs inthe first, sixth, and seventh in¬nings, and twice in the third.Jim McMonagle got two hits
in four times at bat and alsoscored three times to pace theMoravian offensive. Dean Davis,junior catcher and utility out¬fielder, got one, making an aver¬age .500 for the season.
Berg could only come up withone scoring threat. This came inthe eighth when Chuck Lewis andGlen Steigerwalt both singled tocenter but were later picked off

before closing the inning.Moravian played like the team
it is supposed to be. The hitscame when they were needed andthere were less errors made thanusual. The pitching this seasonhas been more than adequate. Ifthe hitters and fielders would playup to their potential, Moraviancould still have a very successfulseason.

"Snarling police dogs chased away crowds of Negroes and fire hosetsflattened youthful demonstrators Friday as hundreds of Negroes tried fto stage anti-segregation marches.""Then the water hit them. Cowering, first with hands over their 9
heads, then on knees or clinging together with their arms around jeach other, they tried to hold their ground.""Police Commissioner Eugene Conner ordered the dogs brought in. \
'All you gotta do is tell them you're going to bring the dogs,' said IConner, 'Look at 'em run. Bring the dogs anyway Captain.' "
(The Morning Call, May 4, 1963) (In capsule form, that's what happened in Birmingham, Alabama
last Friday. Almost a hundred years since the Emancipation Proclam¬ation the fight for equality is still going strong.I remember asking a friend of mine how he explained segregation
to his little girl, who was at that age when she began to question about"white people." He said that he told his daughter that only ignorantpeople are bigoted, and she should pity them because they don't know!any better. It's something to think about. I suppose it's this type of Iunderstanding that gives the Negroes the self-respect and courage to;stand erect and proud in the face of police dogs and fire hoses.John Donne said: "No man is an island entire of itself; every man'
is a piece of the continent, a part of the main ... I am involved in,mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;it tolls for thee."
There was a bell tolling in Birmingham last week, and it was heardabove the roar of the hoses. It was another "shot heard round theworld." Some of the people were bitten by dogs, and others had theirclothes ripped from their bodies by the hoses, but they kept on ring¬ing that bell. They rang it for you and me.
