This spring, for the first time, the YMCA is attempting to aid interested students in securing placement for summer jobs. According to Sam Magill, Y sec- retary, this summer placement service is still in the process of organization, and many additional positions are expected to open up as the semester progresses. Espe- cially is this true of the many various camp jobs which would become plentiful by March and April. Already there is an imposing list of interesting possibilities, many of which promise not only re- numeration, but also travel and valuable experience, especially in the field of industry. Already included on the con- stantly increasing list of prospec- tive employees are: The North Carolina State Park Service, American Trust Company, Wacho- via Banks, Proctor and Gamble, WBT-Chartotte, Yellowstone Par* Service, and the Federal Govern- ment. In addition to these are several study tours, seminars and leadership training camps. Job forms can be secured and submitted at the Student Union desk.

In chapel this morning Dean Bailey told the student body that police were following up several leads which they hoped would re- sult in the apprehension of the criminal. He also reported that Mr. Ed "Cop" Linker, campus policeman, took the license number of a sus- picious looking car parked near the College Union early Thursday morning, in which a young man, apparently a student, waa sleep- ing. After having taken the license number, Mr. Linker checked the Union to see if any foul play was afoot there, and when he re- turned to the car, the man had left. The car was described as a late model two-tone Oldsmobile, bear- ing a Georgia license plate. In- vestigation revealed that the car was registered in the name of a Mrs. Fields of Atlanta. Dean Bailey asked if any student had any knowledge of the car that would clear it of suspicion that he report it to him immediately. At present police are scouring several states in search of the automobile. Several students who saw the gunman said that they thought they would be able to identify him. Their descriptions of him were similar. All agreed that he was about 20 or 21 years old. slightly built, with a rather full face and prominent jawbone.

To the already sparkling at- traction of Ralph Marteric and his band will be the added feature of the selection and crowning of a Queen of Midwinters at the formal dance Friday night. The Queen will be chosen by a five-man committee comprising one representative from each of the three college publications, and two outside members.

Designer-Craftsman To Come To Union Entrance Examinations To Be Required By 1 955 Despite the recent bad weather, the construction of W. H. Belk Dormitory is still proceeding ac- cording to schedule. Allowances had been made dur- ing the planning stages for such weather as has been seen lately on the campus. With no unex- pected time setbacks the date for occupation of the new dorm is still tentatively set for around February 1. 1055. However, the rate of construction is dependent on the weather. For the past few weeks concret footings of the foundation have been laid. This is now largely com- pleted and the laying of the bricks for the east wall of the basement has begun. After going up one floor level the brick masons will then begin laying the west wall while .struc- tural steel and concrete are put in the east wall. Mr. Grier Martin would again like to say that the domitory rooms will be of a very modern type, many of the facilities being built into the wall. Desks, bookshelves, chests, closets, and storage cabinets will all fall into this category. Storage space in the new rooms will be approximately twice the amount found in the present ones Lava- tories will be in every room and will have hot and cold running water. Over the lavatory will be a built- in medicine cabinet and a much welcomed light. The floors will be of asphalt tile in the rooms and plastic tile in the halls. After the completion of Belk Dorm there will be no three-man rooms either in the new dorm or any of the old ones. The Woodwind Quintet under the direction of Mr. Kenneth Moore will appear before the Mooresville Kiwanis Club on Friday evening. February 5. On the evening of February 8, both the Woodwind Quintet and the Brass Ensemble will present a musical program for the Char- lotte Music Clubs.

Thursday evening, February 11, at 8:15 p.m.. the St. Marks Lutheran Church and the Char- lotte Chapter of the American Guild of Organists will bring to Charlotte the renowned St. Olaf Choir. This choir, under the direction of Olaf Christiansen, has been re- ferred to by the Chicago Herald. Examinar as "... the greatest of its kind in America, perhaps in the world." The program will be held in the Radio Center audi- torium. QUALE TO CONDUCT YEARBOOK CLINIC Student yearbook staff members from western North Carolina and their faculty advisers will attend a Yearbook Clinic at Davidson Col- lege, Wednesday, March 3. Otto W. Quale, publications di- rector of the American Yearbook Company, Owatonna, Minnesota, will conduct the clinic. Bill Hood, editor of the Davidson yearbook, and his staff will serve as hosts. Mr. Quale was formerly a mem- ber of the faculty of the Univer- sity of Minnesota School of Jour- nalism and a director of the Na- tional Scholastic Press Association. Included in the clinic wUl be sessions on themes, layout, art work, financing and staff organiza- tion. All schools in the vicinity of Da- vidson College are invited to send delegates. "We would like to have juniors attend the clinic as we believe it will help them in their work next year," Mr. Quale explained. "It should be emphasized that this is an educational short course in the interest of better yearbooks. "Schools attending are in no way obligated to purchase from the company represented; and at no time will they be given a sales talk." NOTICE! ISAAC STERN HERE SATURDAY, FEB. 13 ISAAC niRN Isaac Stern's eleventh coast-to- coast tour of the U. S. and Canada will bring the foremost American violinist to Davidson College for a concert at 8:15 p.m. on Saturday. February IS, Director Plott of the Davidson College Department of Music announced recently. Mr. Stern's concert here is one of fifty-five he is currently mak- ing across the country which in- clude appearances with such or- ganizations as the Boston, Chicago, Pittsburgh, and Los Angeles Or- chestras. Last November, Sir Thomas Beecham. conductor of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, performed with Stern. The London Times re- ported: "A player in the front rank of violinists has dawned on our nonson. Stem is no stranger to the movie-going public, for it was bis music heard on the sound track of the films "Humoresque" and Tonight We Sing." He is also well known to radio, television, umI rtfan) fan for his recordings Alpha Epsilon Delta To Hold Convention Alpha Epsilon Delta, the na- tional premedical honor society, will hold its Tenth National Con- vention at Indiana University, Bioomington, March 25-27, 1954. The Indiana Alpha Chapter will act as host to this gathering of premedical students and educators from sixty-three chapters in col- leges and universities throughout the country. The convention banquet is sched- uled for Friday evening, when Dr. Aura E. Severinghaus, Associate Dean, College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, New York, will be the banquet speaker on the subject, "So You Want To Be a Doctor." Saturday morning will be de- voted to conducted tours through the Indiana University School of Medicine, hospitals, and other facilities at the Center. Following the luncheon. Alpha Epsilon Del- ta will sponsor a conference on premedical education with several nationally known speakers on medical and premedical education. The North Carolina Alpha Chap- ter was installed upon this campus in 1986. Barring an interruption during the war years, N. C. Alpha has had an active life on the Da- vidson campus. Each year several outstanding physicians and medical school ad- ministrators are brought to the campus for lectures. Films of a medical nature are shown several times yearly and visits made to nearby hospital*. nave become best-sellers through- out the nation. The popular young artist will perform here on his priceless 230- year-old Guarnerius. Among the selections that he will play are in- cluded Brahms' Sonata in D Minor, the Suite of Rameau-Ysaye, and the ever-popular La Campanula of Pagan ini. Students will be admitted to the concert upon presentation of their from orientation; listing in the College Handbook (published by the CEEB, not Davidson's); asso- ciation with the better universi- ties and colleges of the U. S.; re- ceipt of techniques offered by CEEB, and a source of strength in resisting outside pressures to ac- cepting unqualified students. Disadvantages center around the loss of some good prospective stu- dents who would be unwilling to take the tests, which costs six dollars. Besides this there is a cost to Davidson for the service, and these tests are inadequate for predicting academic success in col- lege. Almost ail of the tests are of the objective variety, utilizing multiple-choice answers. The com- plete examination is administered in two sessions of three and one- half hours each. Verbal and mathematical sections are given in the morning, followed by a va- riety of one hour tests in the aft- ernoon. These tests are given four times annually at selected centers all over the world. Here at Davidson Professor Ostwalt is the key nun in giving tests of a similar type. The college entrance tests will not be used for the incoming fresh- man this year. The tests are al- ready being used extensively in colleges throughout the United 'states.

Among those taking the exam were the following seniors: Larry Cham- pion, James Efird, George Melton, Robert Mitchell. Kenneth Parks, Buford Price, John R. Shannon and Richard Roper. The Graduate Record Examine- tion will be administered again at Davidson in May- Interested seniors should write to the Educational Testing Service, Box 992, Princeton, New Jersey, for application blanks. Further in- formation may be had from Prof. George Abernethy. Beginning with the fresh- man class entering Davidson in 1955-56, applicants for ad- mission into Davidson must take the Scholastic Aptitude section of the College En- trance Examination Board tests. This action, recently taken by the Administration, requires that all prospective students wishing to enter Davidson must take this test or one substituted by the college. The main advantage of giving this test to prospective students is that J of helping the Admissions Com- mittee to select the boys fitted j for study at Davidson. The college plans to use these tests in two ways. First, to require all applicants below a specific level to be screened by the members! of the Admissions Committee, with a final decision by that committee being made on the basis of the complete record of the prospective student. No cut-off point for re- jections is anticipated, as the CEEB does not set a cut off score, but leaves the matter up to the judgment of the institution. The second use of this test would be in trying to eliminate those students who would not be able to do successful academic work here. Advantages in the plan to use this test are six: improved judg- ments by the Admissions Commit- tee; removal of testing pressures EU INITIATES FRESHMAN MEMBERS; PHI ELECTS OFFICERS, ISSUES BIDS The Philanthropic and Emuanean Literary Societies held their regular scheduled meetings Monday night, with new officers and new members being the chief concerns of business.

Alpha Epsilon DeltaTo Hold Convention

Alpha Epsilon Delta, the na-tional premedical honor society,will hold its Tenth National Con-vention at Indiana University,Bioomington, March 25-27, 1954.

The Indiana Alpha Chapter willact as host to this gathering ofpremedical students and educatorsfrom sixty-three chapters in col-leges and universities throughoutthe country.

The convention banquetis sched-uled for Friday evening, whenDr.Aura E. Severinghaus, AssociateDean, College of Physicians andSurgeons, Columbia University,New York, will be the banquetspeaker on the subject, "So YouWant To Be a Doctor."

Saturday morning will be de-voted to conducted tours throughthe Indiana University School ofMedicine, hospitals, and otherfacilities at the Center. Followingthe luncheon. Alpha Epsilon Del-ta will sponsor a conference onpremedical education with severalnationally known speakers onmedical and premedicaleducation.

The North Carolina Alpha Chap-ter was installed upon this campusin 1986. Barring an interruptionduring the war years,N. C. Alphahas had an active life on the Da-vidson campus.

Each year several outstandingphysicians and medical school ad-ministrators are brought to thecampus for lectures. Films of amedical nature are shown severaltimes yearly and visits made tonearby hospital*.

Disadvantages center around theloss of some good prospective stu-dents who would be unwilling totake the tests, which costs sixdollars. Besides this there is acost to Davidson for the service,and these tests are inadequate forpredicting academic success in col-lege.

Almost ail of the tests are ofthe objective variety, utilizingmultiple-choice answers. The com-plete examination is administeredin two sessions of three and one-half hours each. Verbal andmathematical sections are givenin the morning, followed by a va-riety of one hour tests in the aft-ernoon.

These tests are given four timesannually at selected centers allover the world. Here at DavidsonProfessor Ostwalt is the key nunin giving tests of a similar type.

The college entrance tests willnot be usedfor the incoming fresh-man this year. The tests are al-ready being used extensively incolleges throughout the United'states.

Seniors TakeGraduateRecord Examination

The Graduate Record Examina-tion was administeredat DavidsononSaturday, January 30th. Amongthose taking the exam were thefollowing seniors: Larry Cham-pion, James Efird, GeorgeMelton,Robert Mitchell. Kenneth Parks,BufordPrice,John R. Shannon andRichard Roper.

The Graduate Record Examine-tion will be administered againat Davidson in May-

Interested seniors should writeto the Educational Testing Service,Box 992, Princeton, New Jersey,for application blanks. Further in-formation may be had from Prof.George Abernethy.

Beginning with the fresh-man class entering Davidsonin 1955-56, applicants for ad-mission into Davidson musttake the Scholastic Aptitudesection of the College En-trance Examination Boardtests.

This action, recently taken bythe Administration, requires thatall prospectivestudents wishing toenter Davidson must take this testor one substituted by the college.The main advantage of giving thistest to prospective students is thatJof helping the Admissions Com-mittee to select the boys fitted jfor study at Davidson.

The college plans to use thesetests in two ways.First, to requireallapplicants below a specific levelto be screened by the members!of the Admissions Committee, witha final decision by that committeebeing made on the basis of thecomplete recordof the prospectivestudent. No cut-off point for re-jections is anticipated, as theCEEB does not set a cut off score,but leaves the matter up to thejudgment of the institution.

The second use of this testwould be in trying to eliminatethose students who would not beable to do successful academicwork here.

Advantages in the plan to usethis test are six: improved judg-ments by the Admissions Commit-tee; removal of testing pressures

THE DAV1DSONIAN

Though the college student may consider this remote tohis present personal welfare,and something he can influencelittle, if at all, h« should nevertheless remember his respon-sibilities asa citizen and a potential leader ineither secular orreligious affairs. These responsibilites include that of beingwell informed on current issues and on their deeper implica-tions. If he takes no interests in anything out of reach of hisfingertips he can be sure that others will,and will run domes-tic and foreign affairs to their own satisfaction. Any persontakes a chance withhis own future in the long run if he con-cerns himself with problems of immediate personal interestonly, and lets the rest of the world go by.

Davidson students and other members of the collegecommunity have an obligation as well as an opportunity totake part in Tuesday's YMCA forum on the general subjectof the relation of power politics and moral responsibility.

Forum onMorality and PoliticsOffers Obligation, Opportunity

This featureThis feature of the Davidson familyis thus not without value, despitethe fact that it may give birth toother problems, or which we willspeak later.

The small and closely integratedcampus, its interdependentdepartments, the small size and informalprocedure of the claim—

all com-bine to play down divisions andcreate a solidified school spirit.The common background of stu-dents and faculty, the democraticway in which they operate, andthe absenceof strong sectional,ra-cial, or class conflict all lendthemselves to a unique harmonyof interests.

The Davidson family, we say, isa very real thing. There are definite reasons for its existenceThere are important and uniqueresults, mostly advantageous. Butthere are glaring shortcomingswhich can and ought to be ad-justed.

(Writer's note: This week'scolumn is the result of an en-deavor to discovernew depthsof opinion and analysis foundamong fellow students. Aswellit is the pointof departurefor a new era of Off-MooringsThe purpose of which will be-come apparent with time.)

"y BILL MOFMTTIdealists, both those who wish

to preserve tradition and thosewho are attempting to make ourschool a pleasantplace to live andwork,have been pleased to regardour collegiate community as "onebig family." Doubtless this hasstrong appeal for young men en-tering these halls for the firsttime. But to those who care toview ourcommunity with a criticaleye. wise with the wisdom onlya Davidson senior can have, thereal truth of that descriptionseems often illusory.

*ej <tffflrWeJ*evnFW eenenwe

To be sure, there are manyreasons why such a phrase mightbe applied to our liberal arts col-lege, isolated as it is and char-acterizedby thoseconditionswhichmake for the family complex.

It is located ina townwithwhichit is identified by common in-terests as well as by name. Thecitizens are linked to the life oftheschoolby innumerable ties,andshare their heritage with studentsand faculty.

The alumnimaintainaclose con-tact with their alma mater, and!

many of the professors were oncestudents in the same small class-rooms over which they now pre-side.

The students, coming as they dofrom the same strata of society,and sharing the same generalbackground, experience a kindredspirit which is increased throughthe democratic way in which welive togetheron thecampus.

Over all, students, faculty, alum-ni, college employees, citizens ofthe community, there exists a spiritof harmony.

If, then, these characteristicsjustify Davidson's family complex,whatadvantages might be expectedto exist? Certainly they are bothnumerous and important. For ex-ample, the common interests andthe absence of hostility on thepart of the townspeopleaffords anatmosphere of friendliness not al-waysknown by other schools. Too,the active participation and sup-port of alumni, as well as the factthat many faculty members areDavidson graduates, makes it notunreasonable to assume that theadministrationhas a basic knowl-edge of student problems, and canfollow a policy sympathetic in na-ture and constructive in design.

The paternalistic flavor of theschool, of which we sometimesmake valid criticism, neverthelessimparts a subconscious and satis-fying aura of protection,removingas it does those occasional threatsto the student's sense of security.

Should Foreign Affairs BeMoral Or Cold-blooded?By DICK ROPER

Peaceful Coexistence PossibleOnly With Full Armament

Notable Progress MarksY Social Post This Year

It seems to us that the social work of the YMCA has beenmore than usually successful here this year.

Last Friday night's post-examination dance in the ball-room of the College Union met with almost universal approvalamong those in attendance,and this appears to be a hopefulomen for other such Y-sponsored functions given in con-junction with the Union.

We feel that Bill Shipley and his co-workers on thesocial committee of the Y deserve genuine commendation formaking that organization's social functions a great deal moreattractive to students this year than has been the case manytimes in the past.

By and large the passing of the "wide-open" exchangedays with neighboring girls' schools is not greatly lamented.Too often these events resulted in numerous blind dates beingstood up and the Y social chairman left with a dozen or twounclaimed and rightfully hurt girls in his care, who went

Ey with anything but a favorable impression of Davidson.If the YMCA sponsors occasional affairs such as this itfind itself meeting a real need as well as gaining a more

favorable position in the opinion of many students. Certainlyministering to spiritual needs is an important function of anyChristian group, such as the Y, but this need not and, indeed,should not be its only function if it is aspiring to the fulfill-ment of a more complete ministry.

On Tuesday the YMCA willpre-sent a forum on the subject,"Politics and Morality." As Iun-derstand it, the subject is notmeant to include problems on thenational level— graft, etc. Thisforum will be concerned with dif-ferent approaches to the foreignpolicy of the United States. Themoral approach will be handledby a man who is employedby theNational Council of Churches andwho has taken graduate work inpolitical science. The opposite ap-proach, perhaps cold-blooded isbetter than immoral, will be sup-ported by the head of the Depart-ment of History at Duke Univer-sity.Iwouldnot attempt to outline

the arguments which these speak-ers will present. But then are afew points on each side aboutwhich we could think profitablyin order to benefit from thisforum.Where the national interestand themorally desirable coincide,there is no trouble. When thesetwo purposes conflict, the differ-ences in opinion can be tre-

The realist would say that themoral thing to do is that whichis in the national interest regard-less of ethical concepts.

What is "PeacefulCoexistence"?

Let us also define "peaceful co-existence." By this do we meanexistence with no friction betweenthe democratic nations and Rus-sia, or do we mean simply exis-tence without an actual state ofwar? This is not merely splittinghairs.For it shouldbe evidentthatif we choose the former defini-tion and then declare that peace-ful coexistence is possible, thenwe can begin to seriously considerdisarming. But if we decide, onthe other hand, that this phrasemeans only existence without anactual state of war, but still be-lieve coexistence is possible, thenwe must continue to be armed tothe teeth.

To get at the heart of thequestion, let us suppose, from theideal Christian viewpoint that itis possible for the democratic na-tions of the worldto exist side byside with Russia with no conflictor friction between the twocamps. What evidence do wehave to support this contention?

As far as Iknow, all we haveto prove this is the constant cryof the Russians for Peace, whichthey claim is principallybeing pre-vented by the United States. Butat times they tone down their at-tacks on the U.S., and actuallyclaim that if the Western worldwould really support the effortsfor world peace, this situationworld exist.

Quotes From LentoAs recently as January 21, Peter

"Is peaceful coexistence be-imfln wvtfwnvfirafn mm ww-mocracy possible?"Of all the subjects offered for

consideration by fraternity discus-sion groups last night in connec-tion with the YMCA forums on"Politics and Morality." none isperhaps so directly concerned withthe immediate future and eventualfate of we of college age as thatquestion.

In attempting to form an opinionon a question of this nature, inwhich the fortunes and welfare ofall of us are vitally concerned, itis always a good deal easier toanswer in terms of what we hepeis possible, rather than what wemight say if we had no stake inthe outcome of the current tenseinternational situation.

Definitions NecessaryBut before making an attempt

to discuss the problem and cometo any sort of conclusion, wemightdo well to first define some im-portant terms in the question athand.

When we speak of democracy,we mean the free nations of thewestern world, at least in thecontext of this question. Butexactly what do we mean by Com-munism? It often comes as a sur-prise to people to learn that theU. S. is actually aiding a countrywhich openly claims Communismto be its ultimategoal— the Balkanstate of Yugoslavia, headed byTito. Realising this, we shouldthen be able to see that we arenot fighting Communism as muchas we are fighting Russian im-perialism, whichhas as its avowed

Letter fro Editor:

Does Chamber's Have NeedFor "Money Bags" Plaque?

N. Pospelov, a top Communistparty official in Russia, declaredthat there was no reason whythe two opposing camps couldn'tget along with each other, if theywould only cooperate. From theextensive writings of Lenin, thefounder of the present Bolshevikstate, Pospelov chose those whichwould emphasize most the SovietUnion's wish for peaceful coexist-ence with the West. "The SovietUnion is doing everything that isnecessary to solve peacefully alloutstanding world problems,"PospeJov asserted.

This seems to be the extent ofthe evidence supporting the Com-munist claim to being the leadingadvocates of world peace.

On the other hand, what is theevidence proving the contrary as-sertion, that we cant expect toget along without trouble fromRussia? It is, Ibelieve, twofold:inboth the principles whichLeninlaid down in his writings, and inactualRussianpractice sinceWorldWar Two.

Of the former type evidenceLenin's doctrines

—there are many

examples of the idea that capital-istic democracy and Communismcannot get along with each other.Two of the most illuminating fol-low:

"As long as capitalism andSocialism remain, we cannot livein peace. In the end one or theother will triumph— a funeralrequiem will be sung either overthe Soviet Republic or over worldcapitalism. This is a respite inwar."

(Socialism, as far as Lenin wasconcerned, was of course,only oneof the earlystages of Communism.)

"We are living not only in astate, but in a system of states,and the existence of the SovietRepublic side by side with otherimperialist states for a long timeis unthinkable. One or the othermust triumph in the end. And be-fore that end comes, a series offrightful clashes between the So-viet Republic and the burgeoUstates is inevitable."

As for Russian Communism inpractice, we have only to look atthe history of the past Bawds.Since the end of the last war,Russia has overran almost all ofEastern Europe; she has activelyaided and abetted Chinese Com-munist aggression in Korea; shehas indirectly aided Communistaggression through the rebel Viet-minh force in Indochina; and shehas continually prorohed the freenations by one or another type ofharassing tactics, such as the Ber-lin Blockade and the failure toagreeon an Austrian peace treaty.

In short, Russia's deeds havebeen like thunder in comparisonto her hoarse cries for pence, andIbelieve that anyone who allowshimself to accept at face valuethe Communistclaim to bein favor

Adoption of Entrance TestsTo Work No Hardship on Frosh

The announcement that beginning in 1955 all prospectiveDavidson freshmen will be required to take the College Boardexaminations or similar tests administered by the college be-fore being admitted will doubtless stimulate some unfavora-ble comment among many parties.

A good part of this criticism will probably stem froma prevalent misconception of the purpose of this test andthe part that it plays in determining whether a student willbe admitted. It is generally thought that the college or insti-tution administering such an examination arbitrarily sets aminimum or cut-off score, and that those students making ascore above this margin are almost automatically admitted,while those failing to attain the score are rejected.

tButDavidson,following the example of most other schoolsch employ such tests, will use the grades that examinees

make only as a complementary factor in determining fitnessfor admission. There will be no minimum cut-off score be-neath which no students will be admitted. To those who dowell on the tests will accrue the advantage of having theirscores used as an offsetting factor against other less favora-ble factors in their past records. On the other hand, appli-cants who make a low score on these tests will not beeliminated,but their score will be weighed against their other

Eifications inorder to determine whether they will be able" acceptable work at Davidson College.Thus,no one will be admitted or rejected solely on the;of this examination,and it will only be used to enable

those responsible for admissions to make their decisions ona more intelligent and informed basis. This they could hardlydo previously when depending heavily on high schooltranscripts, the records of which are governed by no setstandard.

Davidson joinsa small but growing group of colleges anduniversities in the South which are using the College Boardor similar entrance examinations, and is the first school inNorth Carolina to require the exam of male applicants. Atpresent Duke University requires women applicants to takethe examination, and is contemplating requiring it of allprospective students. Other southern schools requiring thetest include Washington and Lee and Agnes Scott.

After taking their worst defeat of the season at the handsof a hustling North Carolina State wrestling team on Tues-day night,Davidson's Wildcat grapplers remain idle until nextFriday when they tangle with The Citadel's Bulldogs on thelocal mats in an afternoon meet.

The Cats dropped to State by19-10 as sensational Charlie Mur-ray added another to his string ofvictories as be pinned his man.

Dave Burns downedhis opponentby a decision while Henry Faisonfought to a drawto score the Cats'other five points.

The frosh wrestlers made a fineshowing as they downed State'syearlings by a sizeable22-11 count.The freshmen show plenty ofhustle and skill and Coach Parkerexpects them to be a great helpto the teamnextseason when theybecome eligible for vanity com-petition.

The Cats will remain at homefor the remainderof their regularseason encounters as they meetThe Citadel, Washington and Leeand VPI on the local mats. Theydote out regular activities onFebruary 22 before the conferencemeet action.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY S, 1964

L Seems that the athletic committee has finally selectedway in which D.C. sport fortunes will move for a while

at least. After several years of following a "middle-of-the-road" policy that has proven very unsatisfactory, the com-mittee felt that some sort of positive action had to be taken.There were, of course, several choices from which the com-mittee had to choose. They could decide on "big-time foot-ball" and keepup with the trend of modern football factories,or they could drop intercollegiate football in favor of intra-muralsports. The committee made the choice that would makefor a continuance of intercollegiate football but on a smallerscale. It is not a complete de-emphasis program, but it is cer-tainly below the standards of past years.

Such powerhouses as Georgia Tech and Harvard havebeen dropped from the schedule, along with N.C. State andRichmond. There is no sense in kidding ourselves that wegained anything except money in that 53-0 loss to Tech lastseason, and these teams would continue to be cripplers onthe Davidson schedule.

Another move the committee made as part of the newprogramis the abolishment of the post of a paid athletic pub-licity director. Students will handle the job from now on. Theabsence of a full-time director who handles correspondencewith other schools,and who calculates school athletic recordswillbe felt much more than the officials realize, and this is amove on which we cannot honestly agree with the committee.

All of you sports fans have a series of treats coming upthis spring. Starting with the Southeastern United StatesVolleyballTournament,Davidson will be thesite of five majorathletic tourneys.The tournament schedule willbe climaxed onJune7-12, when the Southern Junior Boys andTennis Tourna-ment, which is nationally famous, will be held on the localcourts. You will hear more about these tournaments as theschedule progresses, with dates being given well in advance.

It's football timeagain, and Davidson'sspringprictiaMrrsioi]got under way downRichardson Field Ias1Tuesday afternoon.Coach BillDole and hisstaff have already gotthe heavy pads on theboys, and it looks likeit's going to be a hardsession that is going tcpay off in touchdown!next fall. With theadded strength of thefreshman squadchances for the 1954season are looking

much brighter. With some noticeable changes on the schedulefor next fall, Davidson's chances for a winning season lookabout the best in the past five years, and the season's recordshould soar far above last year's showing. It seems certain thaithe freshmen of 1954 will have something to cheer about.

These spring practices, often criticized by some groups,are really necessary to give the boys an early chance to worktogether as a unit. With a ruling of the Southern Conferencebanning all pre-season practice prior to September 1, somesort of spring practice is almost essential if a well-roundedteamis to be molded by opening game time.

Since the ten-day lay-off, tak-en during the exam period, theWildcats have split two decisions.Last Saturday night, the cagersmet the College of Charleston andemerged the victors by a widemargin. This was the fifth victoryof the season for Davidson.

Then last Tuesday night, theWildcats traveled to Columbia tomeet South Carolina University.The Gamecocks had lost a 85-56decision to Davidson earlier in theseason, but Tuesday was theirnight. They were red hot, hit-ting a very high percentage ofshots in the first half as theybuilt up a big lead. The last halfsaw the two teams play almostevenly, but the first half lead wastoo great, and South Carolina won.

This marked the first time thisseason that the Cats had lost toa club from the Palmetto state infour games.

Cunningham issued the followingstatement in regard to the robbery:

"It has been determined that arobber entered several dormitoriesat the college in the early hoursof Thursday morning, and took$353.50 and a valuable watch fromseveralstudent's rooms. When twoof the students were awakened,he threatened them with a gun,and managed to escape withoutbeing identified.

"This is to the college an un-precedented experience and onewhich we greatly regret. The col-lege will do all possible, with theaid and cooperation of the policedepartment to push vigorously thenvestigation, which we hope will

result in an early apprehensionand conviction of the criminal."

It should also be obvious fromboth the record cited above andLenin's basic writings that theCommunists do not genuinelydesire peace. Marx's writings onthe eventual self-destruction, itmight be added, seem only to re-inforce this conclusion.If we are, then, to exist peace-

fully alongside Russia in the yearsto come, there is only one way tomaintain such a situation; andthat is to remain strong and main-tain alliances that will enable theWestern World to continue as thedominant force in internationalpolitics.

Another and very importantfunction of the Forum Committeeis the After-Vesper discussiongroup. Six of these panel discus-sion periods have already beengiven by the committee. Underthe leadership of such competentand qualified professors as Bevan.Workman. Thompson, Guerrantand Johnston, these smallerforumsdeal with subjects of particularinterest to the student, centeredaround common college and cam-pus problems. It has been tenta-tively planned to continue theseAfter-Vesper groups with the pre-sentation of one every other week.

As these discussion groups.havehad to contend with mechanicalproblems such as open houses,fraternity gatherings, and massmobilized movies, the committeehas been seeking a more effectivevehicle for its programs. One ofthese in the experimental periodis the fraternity discussion group.It is felt that the fraternity, beinga natural for small, friendly dis-cussions, could air common prob-lems and topic suojects in a sortof "organized bull session" underthe direction of an informedleader.

According to the chairman,these forums are not designed toprovide answers,but rather formu-late questions; not to culminatediscussion, but to initiate morethorough and serious analysis ofthe problem inhand.

It is the desire of the committeeto so initiate the forums and cor-responding activities that an at-mosphere will be created in whichsmaller discussion groups willspring up spontaneously, battlingand belittling any subject fromsex to studies, from Machialvellito Magill.

The largest single undertakingof theForum Committeeis the al-ready publicized Y Forum on theworld-wide subject of "PowerPolitics and Moral Responsibility."Much long range planning andwork has gone into the presenta-tion of this subject which is beingfocused not only in the campus-wideForum Tuesday night butalsoin fraternity, literary, and smallergroup meetings and discussions.
