Speakers Coffin, KnowlesAppear Dilemma Weekend

The convocation speech of President Rhodes commands

the attention of Professors Irlen, Johnson, and Lanier as the

year commences to the ringing of the Halliburton Tower Bell.

Acting President Rhodes StressesSearch For Someone or Somebody

By Mark Lester

Approximately fifty-five tolls

of Halliburton's bell called intosession the one hundred andtwenty-first opening convocationof Southwestern at Memphis.As the processional began theregular ten o'clock bell con-tinued to strike delaying theprogram.

THE TRADITIONAL scripturereading was delivered by DeanDiehl. The convocation speaker,Dr. Peyton N. Rhodes, ActingPresident, was introduced byDean Jameson E. Jones, whoreferred to Rhodes as ,a personwho has a "resilience of spirit"and a "'missionary zeal for edu-cation."

Speaking to approximately sixhundred students, and academi-cally garbed faculty, Dr. Rhodesplaced the problems of theworld in perspective by quotingprophets of doom from variousperiods of history, from theAssyrians of 2800 B.C. to a re-cent editorial in the CommercialAppeal. Rhodes referred to col-lege life itself as a "search forsomeone or somebody" whichbegins on this campus as a"'quest for knowledge."

DR. RHODES pointed out twoobjectives which 'might be over-looked in one's search. The firstbeing "the search for apprecia-tion of the seemingly small andinconsequential things." Usingexamples ranging from '"kittensin gutters" to "the silence of asnowy morning on a farm,"Rhodes pointed out that thesesmall and inconsequentialthings lead some to a '"sense ofkinship with one's surround-ing."

The second objective whichshould not be overlooked,Rhodes stated, was "wastingtime on a fruitless- search fora simple answer to-one's prob-

lems." From his reservoir ofSouthwestern lore, Rhodes drewon the example of the trackstar who won a seemingly im-possible race with a supremefinal effort. Concluding, hewished the student body goodluck and success in their en-

deavors in the upcoming term.After the singing of the alma

mater, the prayer and benedic-tiod were delivered by Profes-sor Julius W. Melton Jr.

By Nancy HottelThe Rev. William Sloane Cof-

fin and author John Knowleswill be speaking at Dilemma'70. This news has just been re-leased by Hardy Green, Di-lemma co-ordinator.

Coffin and Knowles haveagreed to address the assemblyon March 13 and 14. They willalso conduct seminars duringthe weekend.

THE REVEREND Coffin isknown along with Dr. BenjaminSpock for his counseling ofyoung men to refuse their draftcards. This summer the twomen were acquitted of chargesof conspiracy leveled at themby government officials. Coffinprefers to refer to his protestagainst "illegitimate authority"as "'a lover's quarrel, not agrudge fight."

The 45-year-old clergymanreceived his B.A. and B.D. de-grees from Yale, and exceptfor serving in the CIA during theearly 50's, has devoted himselfto the academic chaplaincy atAndover, Williams College andfor the past 11 years, Yale Uni-versity.

JOHN KNOWLES, another ofthe old Blues, is a widely-tra-velled writer and a former asso-ciate editor of Holiday. His firstnovel, A Separate Peace, wonthe 1960 Rosenthal Award forthe National Institutes of Artsand Letters and the WilliamFaulkner Foundation A war d.His other works include thenovels Morning in Antibes andIndian Summer.

Professor Clifton, John AllendorferConfirm UFO Amphitheater Landing

By Mary Kay.Shelton

University Forum Organiza-tion, Southwestern's most re-cent creation, convened for thefirst time at 10:15, Sept. 17, inthe science center amphithe-ater. The organization wasplanned and set up by the SGA,Prof. Yerger Clifton, and otherfaculty members.

Last year formal convoca-tions were abandoned due tolack of student attendance anda vast breakdown of communi-cation on campus resulted. Itbecame virtually impossible tofind out what was happeningat Southwestern.

UFO will be held every Wed-nesday from 10:15 to 11:00 a.m.John Allendorfer, vice-presidentof the student body, will preside.A pre-arranged program willprecede ,a preview of upcomingevents. From then on, the floorwill be open to anyone, to doanything.

According to John Allendorf-er, the purpose of UFO is "' .. .to afford students an opportun-ity to find out what's going onand to afford all factions - stu-dents, faculty, and :administra-tion - an opportunity to an-nounce their representative in-terests. It's hoped that thisthing is going to be ,an openforum. In other words, I wouldlike everyone to feel totally freeto say anything. I want it freeenough for students to ask ques-tions without feeling that they'rebeing lectured to."

A contribution box will restin the Student Center for thosewishing to donate money. Mr.

Allendorfer failed to say whatthe money would be used for.

"In order for this programto be successful, you must par-ticipate. It's up to you."

New Senate OpensYear Of Meetings

The Student Senate officiallyopened the year's meetingsWednesday, Sept. 17th. Themeeting was held in lectureroom D of Frazier-Jelke ScienceCenter.

AMONG SUBJECTS dis-cussed was a proposal that thecheerleaders be allowed to in-clude 'Excitement '69' on allpublications pertaining to sportsevents on campus.

The comp question was alsobroached, but only insofar assome senators wanted to get theopinion of the sophomores andfreshmen. It was passed on tothe Academic Affairs Commit-tee and left to them to educatethe lower classes, by meansof a pamphlet, and then to pollthem on the question ,of thecomprehensive system.

Editorial -Cry For Relevancy

During last year's Harvard strike, a highly publicized poster

urged students to "strike because there is no poetry in your.lectures." Recently the American university has become dis-

engaged from the thoughts, feelings and action of its students.The education which our colleges offer too often has become

alien to the education its students seek.American youth are asking for a meaningful existence and

an understanding of themselves in relation to their society. Theydeem the ivory tower approach of amassing material sterile, andthe value-free exploration of detached inquiry as criminally neg-ligent of the moral, intellectual, and personal experiences of today.

In the highly concentrated, highly motivated campus ghetto

environ, it is only logical that the ills of campus and nation have

been magnified to rebellious proportions. For no matter how

deep our existential quagmire, defeatism has been allayed bythe appeasing affluence of our rearing. Students will continue

to crusade for what they deem just. Educators must channel this

new vitality before frustration leads it into irreparably harmfulchannels.

For obvious reasons, cries for relevancy, values, and commit-

ments can no longer be ignored. It is time to ask what we at

Southwestern At Memphis are doing to advance the spirit of

education.It is encouraging that such features as the Experimental Col-

lege and the Freshman Program permeate the regular curriculum,but their proven success at other institutions makes it inexcusable'that they should remain on the periphery of our own collegeexperience.

Students are asking for a more active part in developing their

own educational program. Again, the Freshman Program offersan ideal format for liberated study, designed to bring relevancy,meaning, and identity to the individual psyche. Close faculty-student communication would also be provided at a time whenpersonalized education is most needed.

Beyond the prospect of format change, it is time to take stockof what presently occurs in every classroom on campus. It isfeared that too often the meager potential of a classroom is stifledby lack of interest, poor presentation, or adverse building condi-tions. We must build on our established foundation.

Education will be the final salvation of man, for it reachesthe secular as well as the spiritual. That is the path Southwesternmust follow and the course every student must demand.

eral of these sets of eyes seemedhard of hearing, but then howmuch can you expect from apair of eyes?

The reaction to the idea ofstudents' participating in fac-ulty hiring was one of defensivehorror, but no one assumed anyposition of primate self-protec-tion this time, because now itwas time to fight. Anyone elsewould have reacted the sameway. I mean, can you imaginethe terror of the few patheticidealists when the Yankeesstormed down from their partof the world so that the slavescould vote? Sure it would havehappened anyway, but changestake a lot of time, don't they?

UNDOUBTEDLY the issue isviolently debatable, but now theobject is to follow up the Con-ference: The Conference was notdesigned to do anything, i.e. tolegislate, but to focus on prob-lems. The Administrative Struc-tures discussing group discussedthe students' role in the bureau-cracy. For ten minutes nobodysaid anything. Later, la hypo-thetical discussion on the stu-dents' role in administrationensued (see illustration).

If you want to get tangled inthe system, do something liketry to get a lecture room for ameeting; for that matter, re-quisition anything. Try to getmoney for a work-study pay-check without walking back andforth at least twice.

THE WORST outgrowth of(Continued on Page 8)

pierced the stifled air, heavywith the smell of cigar smokeand kerosene torches.

TO SAY the least I was dis-appointed. The throngs of thous-ands consisted of 30 or so ofSouthwestern's finest do-it-your-self liberals, 7 aging rednecks,and (now prepare yourself forthis) four klansmen, and Iswear one of their robes wasmade from a shower curtain.No horses, no crosses (flamingor otherwise), no kerosenetorches, no cornfields (the foam-ing rage of bigotry was held

Now, I've lived inthe South a goodly portion of myyouth and had yet to see an offi-cial gathering of The Klan.

I KNEW IT existed becauseLife had sworn to ,all of itsfaithful s u b s c r i b e r s (in theNorth) that there wasn't aSoutherner alive who didn'tkeep an honest - to - goodnessburning cross in his potato cel-lar for. any momentary racialemergency. Well, I didn't knowwhat a potato cellar was andcouldn't see why .anybody wouldkeep an ignited pre-fab cross inone, but what could I say, itwas in Life.

Excitement was getting thebest of me as I lit up my two-for-a-nickel stogie and practiceda southern drawl. I had been toa Holy Rollers prayer meetingand an LSU fraternity rushparty, so I knew what to expect.The scene was emblazioned inmy mind: behemoths of menwith hot coal eyes and white assnow robes wielding flamingswords, and riding bareback onpowerful horses that exhaledflames with every breath andthat reared back into a frighten-ing pose ,at every click of theLife photographer's c a m e r a;thousands of them stampeding

Lest we forget. Forget, that-

is, that the Southwestern Con-ference was last week, and thatsomething is supposed to hap-pen. The purpose of the Con-ference was decidedly to opennew channels of communica-tion. Whether it did this or notis doubtful.

President Patton, along withrepresentatives from other stu-dent "power structures" ad-dressed the assembly duringthe first, plenary, and the airbecame dense with tens io n.Many professors and adminis-trative officials placed hands be-hind their heads, held their el-

bows, or held themselves in

some other position of primateself-protection.

The atmosphere was relieved,however, when trim-haired,clean-shaven Ric k Hollings-worth took the lecturn, as it alsowas during Mark Houston'sHonor C o u n c i l spiel. Theremust have been a reason.

LATER, in the Conference dis-cussing Student Government,pinpointing the problem wassimple. All you had to do waswatch a few sets of eyes scruti-nizing Patton's long, anarchic-subversive hair and his power-hungry walrus moustache. Sev-

Physicist-Author Feinberg ScheduledSpeaker For World Future Society

An organizational meeting to

form a Memphis chapter of The

World Future Society will beheld in the Center for Continu-

ing Education at 8:00 p.m.,Wednesday, Sept. 24.

DR. GERALD FEINBERG,Columbia University physicistand author of the much dis-cussed The Prometheus Project,will be the featured speaker.Southwestern students, facultyand staff are invited.

The World Future Society, anonprofit, nonpartisan scientificand educational organization,includes among its objectivesthe increase of public under-standing of future-oriented ac-tivities 'and studies and the ad-vancement of responsible andserious investigation of the fu-ture. It publishes an informa-tive monthly journal, The Fu-turist, to be included in theMemphis Society's fee whichhas been set at $12.00 ($7.50 forstudents).

ALSO ON HAND for Wednes-day night's meeting will be JohnOsman, senior staff member of

the Brookings Institution, whowill serve as special consultantto the Memphis Future Society.

Dr. Feinberg's book, which issubtitled "Mankind's Search forLong-Range Goals," is a lucidsummary of the present state ofknowledge in all the physical'sciences and a call to action. Inthe face of the new powers overhuman and physical nature thatscience has given us, the authorcalls on all men everywhere tore-examine their long-r a n g egoals for humanity.

AFTER CRITICALLY exam-ining the goals set in the pastin the light of our new know-ledge, he outlines the organiza-tion of The Prometheus Pro-ject (from the Greek prome-theus, meaning foresight)through which peoples from allover the world can participatein the search for new goals. Thetruly world-shaking and irrever-sible decisions which ,are almostupon us are, he dramaticallydemonstrates, far too importantto be left to scientists, govern-ments, intellectuals, or anyother elite.

NSA Convention ProducesBlack Demands For Funds

Editor's n o t e: Southwesterndelegates to this year's NationalStudent Association conventionin El Paso were Bruce Levine,Dan Kenner, Cary Fowler, Deb-bie Sale, Mike Patton, and BillSeeto.

By Bill SievertCollege Press Service

EL PASO, Tex.-(CPS)-Foreight days the delegates at theNational Student Associationhad met, and for eight days notone new program or idea hadbeen proposed. This in part wasdue to the structure of the con-gress which provided for a weekof workshops and seminars tobe followed by a week of busi-ness-legislative and administra-tive sessions. The students,however, began blaming them-selves and the national staff fora stagnant convention.

The Chicano (Mexican-Ameri-can) students charged that aprimary reason for having thecongress in El Paso, at theMexican border at Juarez, wasto make American studentsaware of the plight of the Chi-cano people, who make up themajority of the population ofEl Paso.

NSA passed three resolutionssubmitted by the Chicano cau-cus. The first sanctioned a stu-dent boycott of Coors Beermaintaining it is discrimina-tory in its hiring practices. Thesecond reaffirmed NSA's sup-port for the California tablegrape boycott. The third resolu-tion said member schools must,in selecting its delegates toNSA, represent minority groupsin proportion to their percentageon campus.

Like the Chicanos, manyblack delegates felt stifled byNSA's inactivity and bureau-cratic procedures particularly

during the first plenary ses-sions. Meeting in a Third WorldCommission caucus, theycreated the idea for a NationalAssociation of Black Students(NABS) which would seek fund-ing from NSA.

The inability of a black stu-dent from Ohio University,Charles Patton, to obtain thefloor during Monday night'splenary to present the programbrought on the much publicized"black takeover." OutgoingNSA President Robert Powellrefused to recognize Patton be-cause the established procedureof the plenary was to elect offi-cers at the time. Patton claimedthe black proposal was far moreimportant and the "black peoplehave been waiting for too long,"but he didn't press the matteruntil a white student wasgranted the floor to make anomination speech for a fictici-ous candidate.

Patton tried to get the flooragain to protest the chair's giv-ing time to the white studentwhile refusing himself time topresent the NABS idea. Failing,he walked up to the podium and

pulled it from the speakers'stage.

Other blacks joined him, andsome removed the stage micro-phones and ripped out the stagephone, bringing proceedings toa halt. Black delegate Muham-med Kenyatta later called thegroups together and demandedthat NSA give one-half of allits funds to NABS.

The following evening theblacks, led by former NSA staffmember Gwen Patton, modifiedthe demand to $50,000 payableto NABS by the end of October.The delegates passed the blackproposal overwhelmingly.

Before the final day of plenarybusiness meetings, everyonehad remarked how well NSAwas coming out of its congress.Some maintained the congressfailed in one respect. It had notlooked at problems as economicin nature. It did not considerracism or poverty, for example,in the context of the problemsof a capitalist society. But eventhose who felt the congressfailed in this aspect felt themeeting had been a positivestep for NSA.

men in New York are "'tutti-fruitties," and, consequently,the women are "begging for it,paying for it." Arming himselfwith his sexiest smile, an ever-moving jawful of gum, a cowboyhat, and boots, he hops the firstbus out of town to make hisfortune in the Big City as thesalvation of the unsatisfiedManhatten Matrons awaitinghim.

After a less than successfulfirst attempt, Joe comes to theconclusion that it isn't the easi-est task to catch a lady's eye-even in his flashy western re-galia. Every eye seems to stareat the pavement, and the fewthat he catches usually have adeviant glint.

AS A GIGOLO, Joe Buck isa flop. Yet even in the depthsof despair, Joe finds there is al-ways a lower step. Enter RatsoRizzo (Dustin Hoffman). Hevictimizes the trusting naivecowboy, then, in another en-counter, befriends him.

The two form an easily beat-able team of hustler and man-ager, and charge into the sadside of Fun City-the hesitanthomosexuals, the drugged neu-rotics, the wild-eyed evangelists-and wind up stealing fromfruit stands and selling blood

to stay alive in the condemnedtenaments they inhabit.

THEY. LIVE on unreachabledreams. The consumptive Rat-so's are plastered on the dingywalls of their flat in the formof Florida posters. Such dreams,like the condemned buildings,merely wait for the wreckingball.

The Joe-Ratso relationship issomehow elevated from 'all themire and misery. It causes thefilm to shine from within astheir rapport stumbles intoexistence, subsists at first onslurs and insults, and finallycomes down to love, althoughneither is bright enough to knowit. Quite simply, theirs is a hu-man equation; it's rare in lifeand nearly nonexistent on film.

EVERY ASPECT of MidnightCowboy involves fantastic tal-ent: from Hoffman's concep-tion of the "Ratso" character,which amounts to a testamentto the acting art, to the quicklysketched, finely etched support-ing parts, to the haunting Nils-son song, to the devastatingspectacle of New York itself.

Midnight Cowboy sees muchand 'spares the audience little.See it.

Bureaucracy Threatens Education(Continued from -a ge 2)

bureaucracy is the effect it ishaving on education. Takingcreative responsibility is diffi-cult for the ,average student.Directed inquiries help, butmoney is often a problem. TheFreshman Program is an im-portant step also and it needssupport so that its progress canhopefully be made manifest toeveryone in the near future. Ifwe don't get rid of some of thered tape and liberalize thelearning procedures, as we havethe social regulations, then the

only education anyone will getis carnal knowledge.

There is no reason for any-one in the faculty or adminis-tration to fear a student take-over. Nor should any studentfeel that it is necess.ary tosmooch their fannies, which isthe opposite extreme. Some-where in between is an exist-ence with everyone communi-cating, and that would be realcommunity life. How middle ofthe road can we get?

Once upon a time (there issomething encouraging aboutstarting the written word witha phrase like Once upon a time-it implies that there is some-thing more to follow, the quali-ty of which I cannot guarantee;moreover it also suggests somesort of fairy story ending-theyall lived happily ever after, to-gether.) But I digress.

Actually, it was in completedesperation that I turned to theonce upon a time crap; a stall,a clever ploy to gain time-thegeneral theory being that if youjust ramble on for about three-hundred words or so, whateveryou're writing gradually growsfeeble and hopefully dies. Butsince nobody ever reads any-thing it really doesn't matter.For those of you who have beenfaithfully struggling to some-how assimilate this garbage, amystic message will be cun-ningly hidden somewhere with-in this column.

THIS BRINGS us once againto the matter at hand, which,lest you have forgotten by now,is ostensibly a sports column.Obviously I can't just go on foranother 200 words like this-one of my former profs mightread it, and haul me up forplagiarism on all my last sem-ester's exams.On the other hand, perhaps

the oldest sport known to man-kind is that of lusting. (I knowthe transition here was not thesmoothest or most subtle imag-inable, but I decided that therewas no graceful way of extract-ing myself from the perversityI had already created-besides

lock In The Boxit keeps the reader on his toes.Don't forget the mystic mes-sage either.)

A TALE is told of its originback in Cro-magnon dayswhen a man noticed the womenwalking back from the waterhole, their jugs swaying rhy-thmically with each step. Helooked upon their bodies firstwith fascination, and then withlust, and in his heart he wasglad. Then he went and told theother men, and they came also,and saw the women and lustedafter them and were glad. Andthe women saw the pleasurethat their bodies gave the menand were then glad, too. Thatnight there was much joy andmerriment, and that race pros-pered and multiplied.

THIS BRINGS us more orless down to present times andto our fair campus. This hon-ored and at the same time,much persecuted (the Bible,especially Paul, is rather skep-tical .about its inherent values)Sport, though it is more prop-erly an art, has its place in allphases of campus life. (God,that last sentence sounds likeit came straight from the cata-logue.)

Brushing that aside, let usconsider the various types. Forwant of anything better to doand for the sake of order, thereare three basic categories,which, if all goes well, I willattempt to explain. The first,and probably the least import-ant, is the classroom lech. Isay least important becausethis form is usually brought onthrough boredom, the player

faced with the alternative ofeither lusting or listening to thelecture. This is not to say thatlectures have no value, theyare in fact excellent sporifics.But here one just quietly sur-veys the room fixing on what-ever happens to catch his eye.

THE MORE SERIOUS stu-dent of the game usually favorsthe refectory as a more ampleand better quality huntinggrounds. With the current col-lapse of moral fiber among thenation's youth and the adventof the miniskirt, lusting has ex-perienced a major boom.

Then last, there is the ori-ginal, time-honored spontaneouslust which may present itselfat any time in, almost anyplace. This is doubtless thestrongest of the three, it beingthe product of basal drive. Thepotential luster might be sit-ting quitely watching tv in theSC, when a licentious voluptu-ous nymphet glides by, catch-ing him completely unawares.But the great stars of this sportlike all others somehow man-age to rise to the occasion.

A word on a few of the finerpoints. If you should happen toencounter a few icy staresalong the road to stardom don'tlet it bother you.

season's opener. Since the seriesbegan in 1956, the Kangarooshave won nine of eleven con-tests between the two schools,with the Cats winning last in1961, 7-6.

In order to win, SW's defensemust contain senior quarter-back Wesley Eben and juniorfullback Joe Meade, both rec-ognized nationally for their ac-complishments last season. Thetwo accounted for four TD's inlast year's win over the Lynx.Including Eben and Meade,twenty-four lettermen return toaid Coach Duane Nutt in hisfirst year as Austin's head man.Nutt's debut last week resultedin a 9-7 victory over NorthwestInstitute of Texas, but he willhave a tough time bettering lastyear's 8-1 mark.

TWENTY-THREE lettermenand a number of promisingfreshmen hope to make headcoach Don Lear's first season ,apleasant one. Gone from the1968 College Athletic ConferenceCo-Championship squad, how-ever, are ten lettermen, all ofwhom were starters. Amongthese were four all-Conference

performers: linemen DavidPayne and Pat Dolan, defensiveback Sam Cooper, and quarter-back Randy McKean. Two all-CAC men return, defensive endDickie Heien, and offensive endRandall Mullins. Mullins, a 6-5,216-lb. Memphis senior, also ledthe conference in scoring for the'68 season.

Key losses indicate that bothoffense and defense will needfreshman help in order for theLynx to repeat as championsin 1969, even though lettermenreturn :at every position. Thedefensive secondary will be par-ticularly inexperienced, with apossibility of three new menstarting. The Lynx led the con-ference in pass defense lastyear, and Southwestern's suc-cess tomorrow and in the re-maining games depends consid-erably on the secondary's abil-ity to adjust rapidly under fire.

In any case, tomorrow's op-ener with Austin should providemore-than-average excitement,a pleasant surprise or two, and,hopefully, the ninth victory ina row at home.
