The Union and the Sociallife Committee of the SGAwill serve as a source ofstudent input, working withMeetzeandSmithinfinalizingtheplans.

Although a new union willprobablybebuiltatsomelaterdate, plans for such a struc-ture are currently of a lowpriority. In view of the factthat the renovated GreyLibrary may serve for morethan a decade, CollegePresident Samuel R. SpencerJr.emphasized that it shouldnot be regarded as "merelytemporary." "We aregoing tomake mis one as fine aspossible,"hesaid.

Vice President for Financeand Development C. DavidCornell estimated the limit ofexpenditureat approximately$500,000,butindicated thattheapproved budget may be sub-stantiallyless.

Atpresent, the existenceofa union prior to 1975 is un-certain. Various members ofthe administration haveproposed that the presentunion be converted to coedhousing or be used to housestudiospace for the artdepar-tment orROTC.

Meetze has indicated thatsafety and efficiency con-siderations would prohibit theuse of the Grey Library as aunion during the period ofrenovation.

Seemingly, this wouldleavethe present Student Union inlimbo until sometime inFebruary when the GreyLibrary wouldbereadyfor oc-cupancy."Idon't seehow the college

The blueprints drawn byMeetze emphasizeredecorating rather thanrestructuring the presentbuilding. The majoralterations will involveremoval of the stacks, anderection of new partitions toform offices onthe third floor.Thebuilding willbe repainted,possiblycarpeted,andcentralair conditioning will be in-stalled.

Meetze expects that therenovation will not be com-pleteduntilearly in1975,evenif work can begin in earlyAugust, the time by whichGreyLibrary isexpectedtobevacant. "No matter when westart," said Meetze, "it willtakedose tosixmonths todoagoodjob."

Among the major changesplanned are a basement postoffice where students andpossibly faculty wouldreceivetheir mail, a ground levelsnackbar/loungeand terrace.Additional lounges and agames room are planned forthe second floor and mez-zanine. The basement wouldalsohouse thestudentstore.

Reaction to the preliminarydrawingsby bothstudentsandmembers of the ad-ministration has beenfavorable, for the most part.Director of the Union C.ShawSmith expressed enthusiasm."The library is better thanany other real alternative wehave now," he said. "It's agood step in the right direc-tion."

Ten years ago. the Setf-Study it-self made few innovative recom-mendations in its evaluation of aDavidson education The most ex-citing innovations, such ascurriculum revisal. were suggestedby the report of the Visiting Com-mittee To the credit of the collegeserious problems were addressed intheSelf-Study It was recommendedthat compulsory ROTC be droppedThe need for a new library wasforeseen, and we are just now wit-nessing the fruits of that an-ticipation Other recommendationsremain unanswered A new GuestHouse or motel facility wasadvised.and remains a goal The need for anew College Union, not as pressingat that time, was casually men-tioned

Looking over our shoulder in1964the Visiting Committee showed usseveral things we hadn't seen Itcalled attention to the problems oftenure and the Christian com-mitment which remains a dilemmatoday The touchy problem ofathletic scholarships waspointed to.and we have since spent countlesshours wTestling witha solution. Themajor recommendation of the Com-mittee reinforced the college'sstudy, and called for a major io-year program of library develop-

memIn the area of Curriculum, the

Committee made its sharpestcriticisms Tbey challenged thecollege to look not only at what wehad. bat to examine "the basicvalidity of the status quo." It an-ticipated thecreation of thepositionof Academic Vice-President It'schallenges resulted in the majorcurriculum revisions of a few yearsUter Our gratitude should be ex-tended, for it was able to diagnoseourproblemsmuch better thanwere

Looking at ourselves,we would doveil to learn from the observationsof the Visiting Committee: "What isneeded at Davidson-and not only atDavidson-is a good deal more for-ward looking, thinfc-ing fttyj planningthan there seems to be at present."We should search themirror for notonly what is but for what can be.Weshould look over our own shoulders,and be concerned not only with theparticulars of our costume but alsowiththebasic reasons why we dressas we do. Such a study is demandedby the fact that Davidson is now afar different institution thj»n it was10 years ago The study then wasgeared for a stable student body of1000men. With coeducation, wehavemade a major step forward.

We must search the mirror forourselves 10 years fromnow. Again,the Visiting Committee prompts us:Themajor recommendationsof theVisitingCommittee is thatDavidsonproject itself imaginatively into thefuture to limn withsome clarity therole it wants to play in Americaneducation... In thisgeneration an in-stitution cannot find good solutionsto educational problems by con-templating its own navel,"-withoutthoughtful anticipation of itsplace inthe future. No better chance existsthan now andhopefully, this timewewill be able to ourselves ascertainwhere indeed wearenow and whereweshouldbe going.

The editorial that appeared on thefrom page of the November 30 issueof THE DAVIDSONIAN hassolicited responses that, in in-stances,display a depressinglack ofthought.Evidence of this appears insome of the letters to the editor inthis issue.We do not wish to argue the com-plexities of the Watergate affairhere, but rather to make two points

necessary from the content of theseandmanyother letters.First, if any supporter of thePresident is sohardpressed to com-

mend his actions that he must referto the Alger Hiss affair, then heshouldkeep quiet and do some morethinking

Water Under The GaleAnd second, as President of theUnited States, Richard Nixon wasprovided with a magnificent man-sion in Washington, but instead ofstaying there and doing his job, hetransports his enormous WhiteHouse back and forth across thecountry to his other estates thatwere equipped for communicativepurposes forhis vacations at the ex-penseof millions of tax dollars.

This insinuationis false.Weat Davidson are at least in-telligent enough to know thedifferencebetween theftandaloanoragift.

More instances of theft havenoteven beenreported.

Most of us would like tothink that this theft istheworkof 'outsiders'. We have torealize,however,thatsomeofit comes from within thecollegecommunity.

There is a tendency atDavidson to 'borrow' thingsone needs if they are not inuse. (i.e.instorage rooms).Ilike the attitude that allowssuch borrowing to take place.Ina way,itshowsthatmostofus don't see the point inhoar-ding the possessions that wedon'tneed.

At the same time,however,borrowingand ripping-off aretwodifferent things.

There is the argument thatthefts are the result of therelaxedatmosphere atDavid-son.Thisargument states that"He (she) would lendor giveme what Ineed anyway. Ineed it right now, so I'll goahead and take it. He (She)won'tmind."

This tale is incompletebecause the lumber was neverfound.

Naturally, this story is areal lifeexample from David-son College. It is also a reallife example of thedegeneration of the HonorSystem.

Therehas rarelybeena filmas publicized as "Papillon."'Likewise, there has rarelybeena film whichever deser-ved such enormous publicityonceit wasreleased.

"Papillon" is a good"B"movie which suffers from itsownpretentiousness.

The film is extremelyuneven. Franklin J. Schaff-ner'sdirection isat times verytight and ludicrous. JerryGalbraith's score is amassofsyrupy mush, while DaltonTrumbo, as usual, hassomething tosay inhisscreen-play,but doesn't know how tosayit.

The story is based on theamazing true-life account ofHenri Charriere about hisescape from the penal colonyof French Guiana. The filmwas made on location inJamaica and M. Charrierewasa technicaladvisor.

"Papillon" was intended tobe a classic. For manyreasons,it isnot,but thisis notthe fault of the stars Hoffmanand McQueen. Both are ex-cellent and provide the onlybrightspot in the film.

CriminalTransgressionsDefyImpotent HonorRegulations

Our sources tell us thatabout 70percent of the David-sonstudent bodyhavecheatedin one way or another.Perhaps this "70 percent" isthe infamous 70 percent whogoon todograduate work?

Lying under oath is one of-fense covered by the honorcode that is virtually nevercommitted. This statistic iseasily explained by the factthat no more than 20 people ayear are called on to swear(although more people volun-tarily swear daily >.

To turn in someone seencommitting an honorviolation? When our sourceswere asked about this, it took20 minutes to get them to stoplaughing. Their only responsethen was that they wouldnever haveany time tostudy.Well, so much for the honorsystem.

A new cropof posters hit theDavidson campus over theChristmas holidays. Theseposters tell of all of thebenefits of ourhonor system.

There are two possible ex-planationsof whoplaced thesepostersaround thecampus

First, we could believe thatsome sincere, yet terriblynaive person (such as WillTern. ■ who still believes in thehonor systemplaced them onthe wails to inspire us. thecommon herd.

Or. we could believe thatsome great satirist placedthem on the walls so that hecould see how many stupidpeople took them seriouslyWe sincerely believe that thelatter is thecase

Only the most naive idiotcould believe that Davidson'shonor systemis working.

Consider stealing. Eachyearseveral thousand dollars'worthof books disappear fromthe library We could believetheoptimists when they tell usthat thesebooks are stolen byoutsiders.

Some people paint the pic-ture of ahuge truck drivenby10 blacks from "across thetracks" backing up to thelibrary at night, breaking inandhaulingawaybooks.

They take these books intoCharlotte to their favoritepawn shop where they getenoughmoney for tomorrow'sfixofheroin.

We haveonly twoquestions.Why should these shady

characters steal books ratherthan equipment from thesciencebuildings?

Who buys these books? Itishard to imagine a largemarket for books which have'Davidson College' stampedall over them. Yet the officialtheorvholds thatahandnf nff-

campus hoodlums is respon-sible for the theft.

Many more items on thiscampus would be mucheasierand much more profitable tosteal. But we shouldn'tsuggest such things to thehoodlums who will read thiscolumn.

Petty theft, which is stillstealing, occurs in suchmagnitude on this campusthat if every guilty personwere taken to trial the honorcourt would be in session con-stantly for the next 24 yearsandseven months.

Students constantly stealfrom the eating houses,bookstore, union, each other,professors andme

Plagiarism is anotherfavorite topic of the honorsystem. Considering that theaverage Davidson professordoesn't read the currentliterature in his field, yourbasic plagiarist can and doesgetaway withanything.

A student is caughtplagiarizing in one of twocases.

If the student is sostupid asto turn a plagiarizedpaper into one of the professors whodoes read.

Or if the student has aprofessor who fell and brokehis leg and had nothing towaylay the boredom but ascholarly journal.

A student gets caughtplagiarizing justoften enoughto make the honor system ap-pear tobe working.

Move your considerationfrom stealing to cheating.There is not asmuch evidenceof cheatingon this campus asthereisof stealing.

Theamountofcheatingcan-not be classified as easily astheamount of goodsstolen.

The plot is simple anddearin its outlines,but, except forthe divinely inspired ending,the funniest routines usuallyhappendespite the plot ratherthanbecauseof it.

Other aspects of the moviehave been disciplined for thesake of the whole. The film isbrief and to the point; theediting is tight,and the comicpacingsublime.

Some incidental politicalsatirealmost takes the statureof a theme, and the twoleading roles are nearlycharacterizations.Allof thisisvery fine for a comedy in

Since some of you approveimpeachment of thePresident,we wonder on whatgrounds you base youropinions.Doyouhavesomein-side information that the restof us -the general public-isignorant of? We readnewspaper items whichdistort the facts and are writ-ten as though hearsay,propaganda, and maliciousrumors were actual facts. Welisten to polls which arecalculated to present biased,partisan opinions. We get TVcoverage which is verbalizedin a subjective manner-reflecting thepersonalopinionof the commentator -a far cryfrom a genuineassessment ofthe views of the public atlarge.

Are wegrateful? Apparentlynot.

Last year, while thePresident was negotiating tobring theprisonershome fromVietnam and giving most ofhis time to efforts to winddown the war, his enemieswere so intent on placingWatergate before the publicand keeping it there, that tothis day there has been nocelebration or public demon-stration that would raise thePresident in the public'sesteem for having liberatedthe prisoners,or ofhaving en-ded the war.

But if nobody else gives thePresident credit for bringingthe prisoners home beforewithdrawing the troops fromVietnam, we can be sure theprisoners themselves andtheir families will be forevergrateful, not to mention thetroops who were withdrawnas

In general, do you acceptwithout questionwhatever yousee inprint or hear spokenonTVasgospel truth? Ifso, trulyyou need a floodlight insteadof acandle!

That the President hasalready been tried in a"Kangaroo Court" of biased,public opinion, we cannotdeny. But when collegestudentswhoaredeemed tobethe intelligentsia of society-our hope for tomorrow-debase themselves by aidingandabetting themobactionofa few bloodthirsty politiciansdetermined to drag thePresident in the dust withoutregard that by so doing theyare playing into the hands oftheCommunisticelement,it istimetohalt thisinfamous orgyand appraise the con-sequencesof our actions.Suchconduct asIhavedescribedisdegradingtoourdemocracy.

Dear Fellow Citizen:Imagine that 25or30 yearsagocitizens

concerned about the future quality of lifein America had gotten together to dosomething about it.

Suppose they had begun an effectivecitizens campaign to make governmentagencies and industry management sensi-tive and responsive to the needs of thepeople. The real needs, of all the people.

Think how much that was alreadywrongwouldhavebeen corrected by now.

Think how much that has gone wrongsince then wouldnever have beenallowedto happen.

If the public had acted years ago, wewould long ago have eliminated or mini-mized the inexcusable pockets of povertyinour land of plenty; the vile and violentcontaminants that pollute our air andwater; the ravagingof our land by insen-sitive corporate and government forces;the sickening, often lethal, chemicals,gases and dust in many of our factories,foundries and mines; the unrestrainedpower and expenditures of our militaryestablishment; the inequities in taxationthat takes 20% of workers' wages whilemany withenormous incomes paylittle ornothing.

Our people would not be disenchantedand disillusioned. And the prevailingmood in America would not have turnedfrom confidence and pride and hope togrowing feelings of frustration and out-rage and hopelessness.

What if wedon't act now?In another 30years our population will

have doubled. What if our rampant eco-nomic "growth" is allowed to continue in-discriminately—mindless of the public'shopes and indifferent to their problems?

What if we continue to do nothing be-cause we assume that others are takingcare of these problems?

Who is takingcare of them?It is clear that our institutions, public

and private, are not really performingtheir regulatory functions. They tend notto control power democratically, but toconcentrate itand toserve special interestgroupsat the expense of voicelesscitizens.Almost all the organized legal represen-tation inourcountry is workingtoprotect■privateinterests and private wealth.

Who represents the citizen? Only our-selves. And that is whyIurge you, as apublic citizen— a citizen concerned aboutyour community and your country— tosupport Public Citizen.

If we do not speak up in the public in-terest now, if we allow the problems tomultiply, life in America could be intol-erable. Perhaps impossible.

Citizen Advocates-CitizenSupportersA Cause forOptimism

We have seen how a few determinedcitizens canovercomeoverwhelming oddsto better their communities. What hasbeen accomplished so far is not the workof one person but of more than 30 youngmen and women— lawyers, other profes-sionals and students. Ifmore valiant anddedicated people were able to work on abroader scale, think how muchmorecouldbe accomplished.

Thousands of graduates of law, medical,science and engineeringschools and otherdisciplines want to work long hours, atminimal wagesin thepublic interest.Theyknow that our society cannot solve itsproblems if all our most highly trainedprofessionals work forprivate industryorgovernment agencies.

If these selfless young people are will-ing to sacrifice conventional rewards topioneer the future, other public spiritedcitizens will surely want to make itpossi-ble for them to do so.

Through Public Citizen, we ask con-cerned students to contribute $5.00 (non-students are sending 115.00 or more) tosupport a lean, hard-working group ofthese citizen-advocates.

Through published studies and docu-mentation, they willhelp to sharpen pub-lic awareness of our problems. Publicawareness leads to public action.

Historically, the idealism and energy ofstudents has been a potent force forchange. We hope to provide a dynamicvehicle and clear goals for those hopefulqualities by organizingstudent supportedpublic interestgroups throughout thecountry to work for lasting changethrough anorderly,democraticsystem.

They will represent disadvantaged mi-nority groups, before the various legalagenciesofstate and federal governments.They will seek to temper the actions oflargecorporations that have acquiredpower far out of proportion to their con-tributions to society. —^

In some important way, every majorcompany touches on the lives of thou-sands of people— employees, consumers,retailers, taxpayers and whole communi-ties.

A way must be found to make a realimpact on corporate boardrooms— and ongovernment agencies that often serve asprotectors, even service arms, of the in-dustries they aresupposed to regulate.

Bureaucrats cannot easily resist theoverwhelming pressures of special inter-est lobbies in Washington and statecapitals.But there can be a greater coun-tervailingpressure— thedeterminationofcitizens lobbying for thepublic interest.

Once ayear,as aPublic Citizen support-er,you willreceive a report on significantnew citizen involvements that have beeneffective in achieving reform or relief atthe local, state, or national level. Hope-fully, you willapply them in the areas ofyour own commitment to action. Citizen-ship skills must be continually sharpenedana used if we are to succeed in prevent-ingor diminishing injustice.

Asdoall formsof journalism,sports writingrunstherisk of being a deadmedium ofexpression. Of-tentimes thesubject isdead or ifit isnot,thestyleof the account, or even the writer is. The ar-ticulation of slimy platitudes, reams of statisticsand half-assed apologetic criticism have oftencome tocharacterize thesportscopy andnaturally,Ihope toavoid thesepitfalls.

Sports writing has meaning only when it sear-ches out the core of thesport, thepeople who par-ticipateinit and their attitudes towardit.

Last Monday,Dave Fagg assumedhis duties onthe coaching staff at Georgia Tech and manypeoplewereglad toseehimgo.Itoowasglad toseehimgobutperhaps fordifferentreasonsthanmanyoftheseothers.

Fagg's resignation was a good thing for bothFagg andDavidson. From aprofessional coachingstandpoint, Fagg has taken a step forward. Aposition as a top ft******"* under a well-knownandrespected coach isa tremendousadvancementop-portunity for a man whose career is football, asFagg'spresumablyis.

EvenFagg's mostbitter criticswillconceed thatdespite a mediocre recordhere at Davidson, he isanenergetic anddedicatedman.Fagg's new jobatGeorgia Tech isashot at thebig timehe values sohighly.

As for Davidson College, the resignation was anecessity. Fagg began his coaching here in theshadow of Homer Smith's impressive record andunderstandably,he inherited thedesire to winbigfromthis.But with the Trustee's decision to deemphasize

football,Faggandhisstaff wereburdenedwiththetask of gearing down a program they hadpreviouslydeterminedtoexpand.IdoubtifFagg wouldhave been theright manto

carryout theTrustee'sdirections.Idoubthe wouldhavebeen psychologicallyprepared todo so. Inef-fect, his resignation gives the college an op-portunity to inject new blood into its new footballprogram,a freshstartinallrespects.

As of now, theopportunity to injectnew blood in-to football isinourlaps,butno one onFagg's stafffills the bill. The coaching ability of these men isnot the determining factor in my opinion. Thesemenworkedclosely withFaggandit'sagoodguessthat they share his aspirations for big time play.These aspirations seem to be an organic part ofthem,as they wereinFagg. .If,however, any member of Fagg s staff can

demonstrateotherwise they should be considered,but agreement with deemphasized footballprogram isamust.

The responsibility is now the college's. It mustselectanewheadcoachwhoisawareofDavidson'snew football spirit and is willing to work con-structively withinit.

Fagg Deserves First Class Ticketand because there was nowritten contract with EastCarolina, Davidson was alsounable to collect any guaran-tee.

Last spring when EastCarolina asked toplay David-son this year, Fagg madethem buy $4000 worth ofticketsat RichardsonField tomakeupthatlost guarantee.

Davidson could have drop-pad AirForce this year oratleast saved money by flyingthedaybefore theegame.OneoftheprimereasonsDavidsondidneither was thatDaveFaggwantedtorepayhisplayersbygiving them theopportunity togo first class just once thisyear because he felt theydeservedit.

One of theniceties enjoyedbya DAVIDSONIANeditor istheopportunity toexpressperjonal sentiments in aneditorialcolumn.

coach.So while Istill don't know

the full story, Ithought itmight be interesting to letpeople know a few thingswhich Dave Fagg would notlet me print while he washeadcoachatDavidson.

Last spring Dave told thetrustees that he was not infavor of continuing subsidizedfootball at Davidson. Notbecauseof the prevailing sentiment against football here,butrather becauseherealizedthat there was no chance forDavidson to win the SouthernConference championship un-der the limited budget whichhewasallotted.

No one ever heard DaveFaggcomplain publicly aboutthe conditions which he wasforced to work under. Henever made up excuses forlosing games when he hadeveryright to.Despite thefactthat he was committed toplayingschools withmoreandbetter scholarship players,Dave Faggnever gaveup.Onthe contrary,Fagg instilled acompetitivenessinhisplayersthat amazed opposingcoaches.

John Falconi. senior wingman who has been the leadiingscorer for the Cats the entireseason, had a good tour-nament in all departmentsand was named the MostValuable Player. He had hishighest point total of theseason in the Championshipgame as he burned the cordsfor 26points. He also had theteamhighreboundingtotal inthatgame with12.

But Davidson refused tostop there. They cruised to a76-62 win over VMI and lostto a super quick Pittsburgteam. 90-63. Here, it appearedthat theCats would fold.

They came right back,however,andrappedthesameFurman teambya scoreof91-76 on the Paladins' home

Quitepossibly, the Cats aretrying to make their way intoa veryhighposition before theSouothern Conference Tour-nament rolls around in earlyMarch That is for all the mar-bles.

RecentlyDavidson has beenplaying like it reallyhas put itall togetherafter a very shaky-start this season.

The Cats dropped a closegame to Furman in JohnstonGym. just prior to the Christ-mas recess. While the otherstudents were away, the Catsproceededto grab the Charlot-te Invitational Tournamenttitle for the eighth time in 11years.

The Cats had to whipLoyola in the opening round,98-83. while Miami-Ohiobested a favored squad fromSyracuse The Cats then went

court. This win gave the Catssome true confidence foor theremainder of the season,especially as far as theSouthern Conference is con-cerned.

But the true peak of theseason thus far came Wed-nesday night in the CharlotteColiseum. There, before 9854screaming fans, the Cats helda slim margin for most of thegame, thenheldon in the endfor a 70-59 upset of the nth

ranked South CarolinaGamecocks.

The Cats played their bestgame of the season in beatingthe Gamecocks for the firsttimein three years.

Head coach Terry Hollandsent the team into the gamewith one principle objectivedesigned to bring a victory.Thatobjective wasto forcethem into a man-to-mandefense and then get the for-mer ACC squad into foul

trouble.TheCatssucceeded inboth endsof the venture.

Theresulthad tobe pleasingto the hometown fans, whohad hoped that the Furmanupset wasnot a farce.With thevictory over Frank McGuireand co., the Cats have provedotherwise.

Playing for the second timein asmany outings without theservices of Falconi,Davidsongot tremendous efforts fromtheentire team.
