the role of the ROTC in the life of many in-dividual students, and affirm the importance ofthe role of civilian, college-trained officers inthe military service of the country.

"One of the basic concepts of our countryhas been the civilian anr.y. The ROTC has beena significant factor in maintaining this conceptIn a time when the military power of our nationlikely will be maintained at a high level, the of-ficers produced by the ROTC constitutes a salu-tary ingredient of our national life.

"Therefore, the college should take appro-priate steps to enable students to make a seriousand informal judgment concerning their partici-pation in ROTC.

"Among the steps to be taken are: It a let-ter be sent to the freshmen students and theirfamilies in June prior to their enrollment inorder that there may be family participation inthe decision: 2) a program be held in the orien-tation, period devoted to setting forth fully theadvantages and disadvantages to the student ofthe ROTC program; 3l the student then be re-quested to make his own decision as to his participation or non-participation in the ROTC

Reader Defends ROTC

IIIU KO5ERTVA pygattI'Police Power'

Recently in the mass media there has been agreat deal of criticism of those tried and true defenders of the American Way. the police. Obviously, thepolice have gotten the worst of the argument and yourcolumnist feels it is time some patriotic soul steppedforward and came to their defense. However, it isnot going to be me.

Contrary to communist propaganda, the typicalAmerican policeman is not a blundering, sadistic clod.He is really genial, intelligent, decisive and shrewd

There is a story now going around campus tha!illustrates the perspicacity of the men in blue of ourneighboring community of Mooresville. Recently oneof Mooresville's finest stopped a carload of studentspassing through late at night and asked each of themwhere they were from and where they were going.

One of the students, a Richardson Scholar, re-sponded that he was from, let us say, Poland "Ohyeah, wise guy?" the cop replied. "Name me a townin Poland."

With such shrewed detective ability as this itiseasy to see why the Mooresville police are renownedfar and wide.

Police in other urban centers across our nationare similarly analytical/They stock up on riot con-trol weapons, and feeling the need to get a littlerealistic tactical training with them once in a while,they clear the streets of the two major criminal ele-ments in our society, students and Negroes. This isknown as "Law and Order."

However, they have shown little desire to dealwith some of the more aggressive elements of theunderworld,e.g., the Mafia, which is probably one ofAmerica's largest industries and is still growing. In alltoo many cases the degree of law and order seemsinversely proportional to the amount of the payoff.

Leaving out fuzz of the Bull Connor stripe asbeing too unbelievable to deal with, the police seemto have shown a remarkable ability to antagonizeeven law-abiding moderates on occasion, thus earning the appelation "pigs."

If there was one conservative reporter taggingalong in a civil rights march, he would get maced.Onlookers at Duke were chased across campus andtear gassed in the chapel.

The anti-ROTC campaign at Harvard was doomedto failure until the administration called in the policeto attack the demonstrators and 8,000 moderatestudents moved several degrees to the left after thesickening spectacle.

The problem of the police is the problem of anaffluent society that has underpaid too many unquali-fied men to do a difficult job. It is a job with littleprestige and few rewards. But many of the men whohold it deserve few rewards.

The Hydra-headedmonster of the police mentali-ty cannot be eradicated in a decade, but it must beeradicated in a generation. Law enforcement is tooimportant to be left up to the police.

sibly be.The main point of argu

ments for a voluntary pro-gram has been that fresh-men in college are matureenough to decide for them-selves the value of ROTC.

On this point Idisagree.If their reasons for not en-

As to the degree of matur-ity of mos» students, whydoes THE DAVIDSONIANfind it necessary scold car-tain elements of the studentbody for having and enjoy-ing activities such as scav-enger hunts and generalbrawls?I genuinely feel that the

A Wise MoveThe trustee decision to abolish com-

The decision itself, though, couldhardly be avoided For those whohadargued that ROTC must remain com-

.4 Drop OfMercyAlthough it is indeed difficult to

accomplish things on the Davidsoncampus, the Residence Hall Councilhas managed to come through withseveral minor improvements that dohelp to ameliorate the slummish liv-ing conditions here.

One recent bit of mercy was therestoration of temporary parkingspaces behind Watts and Little aftersome heartless maintenance depart-ment personnel closed off the area.

pulxir. to exist Dr Sandy McKelwayanswered thequestion Thursday nightwith some of the evidence facultymembers had gathered. The faculty'st'videncr. ho said, showed "ratherconclusively" that ROTC would con-tinue to stick around

The ethical argument was tellingin Thursday night's discussion. Timeafter time, the question came backto whether it was right to force some-

'Itne else to accept military trainingagainst his will,even with his parents'consent. And the trustees rightly de-cided that it wasn't.

And the junior who said all students are too immature to be per-mitted to decide for themselves? Itis these same 18-year-olds that canbe trusted with jobs on which otherlives depend in Vietnam. As anotherstudent made clear, for all that par-ents and freshmen know about ROTCbefore they arrive, they might aswell flip a coin as to whether to en-roll The lack of information was en-forced immaturity for both parentsand freshmen.

Thus, the trustees followed theweight of the evidence and decidedthe case in accordance with the factsand the purpose of the college. Ifthe openness and responsivenesscon-tinues, it may be a new era for Da-vidson, especially as commission re-ports come in and the Academy forEducational Development reports itsfindings. The trustees have donetheir job well. We look forward tothe next few years with expectation.

Don't Forget To LeapAs the commissions conclude their

studies and the Academy for Educational Development readies its report,it is worthy of note that this is thecollege's third try at reforming itself.

First was the self-study report ofseveral years ago. The recommenda-tionsof the report werenumerous,butthe visiting committee from David-son's accrediting agency was unhap-pily accurate when it termed therecommendations dull and unimaginative.

So the school tried again with theBlue Sky program That too has beenmore myth than reality so far Theprogram was adopted in its entiretyexcept for two parts, the two whichoffered some measure of real reformbut were controversial: voluntaryROTC and abolition of fraternities.

The Honors College willbe restrict-ed to a few top-notch scholars, butgood grades don't mean a person getseducated. What of the other studentswho come here? They get left on theoutside as a selected few get David-son's best. Non-Western studies of-fers no major, and thus reasserts the"natural superiority" of the WesternWay of Life. The much talked-aboutarea exams and 3-3-2 program haveturned out to be just the old systemunder the new name, where course

credits replace semester hours.One AED representative who was

here recently talked in terms of aquantum jump. He said Davidson hadbeen gradually improving for a longtime, but that at some point it wouldhave to jump a fence, so to speak,and get on the other side.

He was right. If Davidson doesn'tdo it on the third try. energy for thefourth may not be there.

The move must be made/ and itmust be effective. It cannot be thehalf-hearted and half-way efforts ofthe past. Davidson has looked longenough. The time has come to leap.

Fot ConsistencyA minor item in the proposed in-

crease in student fees for next yearwhich has drawn little attention isthe $45 increase in the cost of a sin-gle room.

Such a minor increase is reallynothing to raise a big fuss over. Afterall, it has longbeen understood thatit costs much more to maintain asingle room than a double room orsuite.

And in the case of the janitors, itis nuite logical that it requires murework (and therefore better pay) toempty one waste paper basket thanto pick up two at a time.

What it does suggest, however, isthat the risingcost (now $75 more peryear than a double room) is makingthe single room a luxury.

Let the Committee on Admissionsand Financial Aid Uke notice

It is only fair that those studentsholding single rooms on campus notbe allowed to receive need scholar-ships.

ciety, just as electric lights in dormi-tories. Because of this, the meaningof having a car has changed, and itis no more undesirable for a studentto have a car on campus than it isfor him to have an electric typewriter.

Lack of cars also adds to the iso-lation of students already stuck 25miles out in the backwoods of NorthCarolina. Since one of the justifica-tions of required assemblies was thebringing in of outside speakers, itseems contradictory to restrict thestudents' means of returning to theoutside world.

Also tobe considered is the matterof the fraternity-independent distinction. When a person is in a fraternity,transportation becomes much less ofa problem than when a person is anindependent. To begin with, it is justeasier to get a ride from within afairly cohesive group.

But then, what sort of time cansomeone have if he is restricted tonothing but double-dating?

However, the worst problem withthe car and scholarship rule is thepossibility of what would happen if theadmissions office ever applied theprinciple with any consistency.

Students would find themselveslimited to $5.2-3 on dates a month,unless of course their dates paid thecost. Overeating would be forbidden,and scholarship students would re-ceive ration cards. Refrigerators, tele-visions and record players would becontraband for scholarship studentsbecause someone who was so needyas to require a scholarship shouldn'thave these.

The parody of the rule could con-tinue,but the point is made. The rulehas outlived its usefulness,and needsto be repealed.

To The Editor:I too almost fell off my

chair when Iheard RobertBryan speak for the firsttime on national TV — butfrom sheer delight, not fromthe sort of fury evinced byTaylor Adams. (DAVID-SONIAN. April 11).

Captain Bryan, like allgood Southerners, is a con-summate actor and put-onartist, and his sense of stylemakes a usually drab pro-gram really sparkle for achange.

The Hubert Bryan charac-ter is now known to someBO million viewers. The factthat he projects this charac-ter with only a few lineseach program is. Ithink, .i

notable and praiseworthyachievement.

The bit about "riding tothe hounds" was a vertitablecoup de maitre. Ican picturehim chuckling to himself withglee as the molasses - liketones of this roll across thecountry and set the teeth ofthousands of humorless,

short - sighted Yankees onedge.

To pseudn - reconstructedSoutherners like T ay1 orAdams Isay pooh-pooh.

In his Spartan program of.self-betterment, he seems tohave lost his sense of humoralong with his Southern ac-cent.

To The Editor:Although my acquaintance

with Blue Sky at present extends only to the Midi.Iwilltaie exception to your editorial on area exams (THE

DAVIDSONIAN. April 11)

asserting that "no studentshould go through a liberalarts education" without en-countering Sartre, counterpoint or the "cold eye" ofYeats, among other things.Icannot accept the idea

that there is a list of sub-jects that should constituteanyone's education.

You recognize value in "ex-citing the enthusiasm of the

students and giving them achance to explore."I aense a contradiction,

somewhere.Reflecting on my "educa-

tion" thus far. what Ihavelearned is directly propor-tional to the extent that myinterest coincided with whatIdid.

Not surprisingly, such wasgreatest whenIhad the mostchoice in what Iwas doing.

If the development of abili-ty in communication and ofcritical capability are moreimportant than acquaintancewith Yeats or Sartre (orLycophron or Vico). perhapsthe students could satisfaitorily choose worthwhile sub-jects for themselves, es-pecially if each student hasa personal adviser (who

might better be chosen bythe student than assigned) asyou suggest.

My implicit assumption, ofcourse. '« that t*vost studentshave partr w'-t interests.

Stewart, former admissionshead of Guilford. warned theconference about the admission of Negroes and the demands on the college whichsuch admission produces. Henoted that it can work well.saying "you've not to turnthe whole place upside downto do it.

'

Stewart made it explicitycfaaT that concessions musthe made, and illustrated hispoint with the success of theGuilford administration incoping with the problem.

"If Davidson wants blackstudents." he said, "it cant»et them."'

Longacre. who is at Guil-ford for a New York fundraising corporation, describ-ed methods for financingsuch programsas the expenmental college and careerstudies programs.

Most colorful in his viewof alumni from the standpoint of a fund-raiser, hesaid, "if one's education isonly worth $15 or $20 a year,then something is wrong."and noted a moral and legi-timate right for a college toask for more funds for suchprograms.

Representing the SouthernEducational Board in Atlan-ta.BillSigmon told the groupthat the "soul" spirit is missing in the Davidson educa-tion.

He spoke of the changingcriteria of performance in theAmerican colleges, m Ingthat the old verbal intellec-tual ideals of more thinkingthan acting which charac-torlie Davidson are givingway to the new idea ofemotion over ideas, of thingsrather than symbols.

He challenged the schoolto expose its Mberal artsidea to the "groat issues."

Notre Dame Abandons CelibacyThe all-male Catholic-supported University of

Votre Dame has decided to go coeducational. NotreDame and the administration of St. Mary's College, acatholic college for women, have agreed to develop. 3-to-l ratio of male to female students.

The decision was announced Monday by the Rev.Theodore H. Hesburgh. president of Notre Dame,ind Monsignor John J. McGarth, president of St.Mary's. The trustees of both institutions have approv. (1 the coeducation plan to give the two campuses "anincreasingly coeducational character."

The process will begin in September, when 245freshmen from each school will share four requiredliberal arts courses at both campuses.

Belmont Abbey Expels Seven ProtestersSeven black students at Belmont Abbey College

who last week took over the science building havebeen expelled from the college.

The expulsion by the college's disciplinary com*mittee may be appealed to the school's president, whosaid after the action that he would have the "goodproposals" by the group studied by the college.

An earlier statement by the president indicatedthat Belmont Abbey did not have the funds necessaryto implement the student demands.Temple Coeds Join Cadet Corps

Eight coeds at Temple University are presentlytaking part in the ROTC program there.

The girls joined up when the university made itsannual announcement that participating in the vol-untary program would be considered a substitutefor required physical education.

The coeds will not receive ROTC commissionswhen they graduate, but they do follow the normalcurriculum of the cadets, including drill.Legislators Attack Obscenity

A crisis has sprung up at the University of NewMexico over the use in an English class of a poemwhich state legislators termed obscene.

The legislators demanded that the teachingassist-ant who used the poem be replaced,and the universitypresident suspended him pending investigation of thecircumstances.

The president has also suspended the chairmanof the English department and the head of freshmanEnglish instruction for their refusal to fire the instruc-tor in whose class the poem was discussed.

In the English department at UNM other profes-sors and teaching assistants responded by distributingthe poem to their classes so that they also would beimplicated. Other faculty members and graduate as-sistants met and demanded that the president rein-state the instructors and faculty members involved.

A student group also demanded of the presidentthat he defend the academic freedom of the collegeor else resign the presidency.

The poem involved was "Love Lust Poem" byLenmore Kandel One state senator characterized itas "the most filthy stuff I've ever read." and threaten-ed to cut the university's appropriations until theadministration promised "to clean up the campus."...Montreal Analysis

The campaign to effect anincrease m the salaries offraternity cooks is progressing.

More complete figures thanthose which only indicate thecash take home pay of thecooks are being obtained andanalyzed, said Randy Phillips, one of the organizersof the campaign.

These figures will enablePhillips and Robert Pyeatt.who first became cognizantof the salary situation of thecooks, to determine to afairly accurate extent thereal income, or totalbenefi'.s,that the cooks receive."It is evident from the fid

When the degree of thisinadequacy is determined,those concerned will try topersuadeeach of the fralernities to increase the pay ofthe cooks, he said. If thefraternities fail to respond.Pyeatt indicated that someother strategy may be tried.

When the complete figuresare available, the YM< ACabinet is to vote on theissue, deciding whether ornot to support and perhapslend assistance to the campaign. said Pyeatt.
