However, Haynes added, "Idon't have abig delusion aboutstudents' taking part inmakingathletic policy," thoughhe feels"student opinions should betaken into account."

New admissions policy seeks northeastern students

By GLENNKELLUMStaff Writer

The Council on Campus andReligious Life will indefinitelywithhold the results of Tues-day's straw vote which wastaken to determine the future ofRichards and Bailey houses.

One reason for the council'ssecrecy is that not all themembers have had a chance toreview the results,according toUnion Board President JimRobertson. Moreover, theCouncil may continue to with-hold the results, because the"straw vote was really just forthe Council'suseandnot for thecampus," Robertson said.

The Council will use theresults purely for advisory pur-poses, said Dean of StudentsWill Terry.By releasing theresults the Council would be"bound to those results, where-as the Council would have morefreedom toact if the results arewithheld,"Terry added.

Using theresults of thestrawvote, the Council will determinewhat types of houses will bebest for the campus. After thisis determined, the Council willask interested groups of thesetypes to submit their appli-cations. The Council has notoutlined any specific guidelinesfor applicants, Terry said.

The Council may or maynotdecide to release the originalstraw voteresults inthe future,Robertson concluded.

In fact, Griffith traveled toseveralNew Englandstates lastfall to recruit students. "We aretravellingin the North to showthe quality of life at Davidsontoprospective students," hesaid. "Nothing works betterwith those students than per-sonal contact."

Griffith cited the major goalsof the Admissions Departmentas remaining in contact withthe areas and schools with thehigheststudentyields, develop-ing Davidson's reputation na-

tionally, and travelling in theNorth topublicise Davidson.

Even though the AdmissionsDepartment has intensified itsrecruiting, Griffith stated thatno increases in the staff orbudget have been made.

There have been,however,two programs developed toassist in recruiting.

First, the Alumni Admis-sions Program has not beenactivated yet,but is planned toincrease alumni interest in re-cruitment. Another program,the Student Admissions Team(SAT), which consists ofapproximately 30 students,hasbeen formed to communicatewith applicants and encouragetheir enrollment.

Admissions Director JohnGriffith has stepped up effortsto enroll students from theNortheast.

Increased recruiting in theNorth reflects an expected na-tionwide decline in the numberof high school graduates in thenext fifteen years.

The decline in the number ofapplicants has not been felt atDavidson yet. In fact, thenumber of early admissionsapplicants has increased 20%over last year, according toGriffith.

Eleven new professors will be appointedto the Davidson faculty for the 1980-81academic year,a significant turnover for a98 member faculty.

The new appointments will be in eightdepartments: Classics, Economics, Eng-lish, History, Mathematics, PoliticalScience, Psychology, and Sociology.

TheSelection Process

According to the Code of FacultyEvaluation Procedures, the President isresponsible for appointing faculty mem-bers. However, in practice, individualdepartments conduct the applicant searchand narrow down the number of candidatesto about twelve. Then,said Vice-Presidentfor Academic Affairs T. C. Price Zimmer-mann, he and the department chairmandiscuss the candidates and choose three orfour to invite to thecampus. After meetingswith the prospective professors, College

President Samuel Spencer, Zimmermann,and the department chairman make thefinal decision.

Selectionproceduresvary among depart-ments. First,an advertisement isplacedinthe employmentbulletin of theprofessionalassociation in the department's field, (forexample, theAmerican PsychologicalAsso-ciation Monitor, the Modern LanguageAssociation Job Information Lists, etc.)Letters are sent to graduate schools.History Department Chairman MalcolmLester saidhe contacts experts in the fieldof the offered position to ask for names ofpossible candidates.

Onceapplications are in,members of thedepartment evaluate them and choose thetop .dozen candidates. Some depatmentssuch as history, rely solely on tenuredprofessors' evaluations, while others, likepolitical science, circulate applicationsamong all of their members. In addition,EnglishDepartment Chairman RichardCole said, representativesfrom the EnglishDepartmentinterview candidates at nation-wide professional conferences.

SGA budget report 'showsno real conclusions'

By JOHNSTIPPStaffCorrespondent

TheSGA Budget Committeehas released a survey compar-ing Davidson's budget to thebudgets of several similarschools.

According to CommitteeChairman Richard Terry, "Thebudget survey results show noreal conclusions about David-son's budget in comparison tothe colleges surveyed."

Terry said that Davidsonappears to be about averageamong thecolleges surveyedinbudgetary matters,particularlyin faculty salaries and compen-sation.

The budget committee pre-pared the report because Terryfelt there was a need for thecollege community to have themeans for an appraisal ofDavidson's budget. "Who isanyone to criticize the budgetwithout any knowledge about(its)scope." said Terry.

"Hopefully, the survey willprovokesome thought aboutDavidson's spending prioritiesby the students, faculty, andadministration,''Terrysaid.

Thesurvey,conductedby theeight member SGA BudgetCommittee, studied fourteencolleges:Amherst, Carletont

Terry said the correlationdrawn between competition forstudents and faculty amongthese schools was justified."A school which seeks the best ;

The report is composedofthree areas of study. The firstarea, "vital statistics," deals:with factors suchas population, .

figures were about average,Terry noted.

Whereas the averagecompen-sation at Princeton was 25%above that at Davidson in1965,it wasonly 19% aheadin1979.On theother hand,David-son lost ground to Williams,which was 5% ahead in 1969and10% ahead in1979.

The third area of study,Alumni andGeneral Giving,puts Davidson in a lower rankcompared to other schools.Davidsonranks tenthof15 witha per student endowment of$15,798,while Amherst report-ed the highest per studentendowment of $49,241.

The September,1979 editionof the American Association ofUniversity Professors bulletinwas the chief source of thecommittee's survey results.Terry noted that the report islimited to the information re-leasedby other schools and byalack of general informationavailable.

Areyouoneof thosestudentswho complains about a lack onnight life at Davidson? Do youwonder if there is more to aFriday night than going to thepop film and sitting in the 900Room for a few hours watchingpeople just like theones in yourdorm, eatinghouse, and classes(because they are the ones inyour dorm, eating house andclasses)?

I've heard that if you reallywant to find the night life inDavidson,head for your friend-ly neighborhood 7-11.

This year'sMid Winters con-cert will feature John Prine, anaccomplished but little knownfolk-rocker with humorous ten-dencies. He will appear Fridayevening, February 1, in LoveAuditorium.

Since his start in the earlyseventies, this singer-songwri-ter has recorded seven albums,his most recent being PinkCadillac, released in the sum-mer of '79. An earlier album,Bruised Orange, earned Prinenationa recognition after it re-ceived a citation from Timemagazine as one of the top tenLP's of 1978. His songs havebeen recorded by pop, country,folk and rock performers, andhe has developed a mass audi-ence throughhis manyclub andconcert tours.

The quality of Prine's musicis described with varying de-grees of admiration by differentpeople, but all agree on hisstyle. Says rock critic David

Folk singer John Prine to

highlight Mid WintersMarsh in The Rolling StoneRecord Guide: "After over fivealbums of original songs, JohnPrine has evolved from a senti-mental but witty folkie into anihilistic but thoughtful soft-rocker." His lyrics tend to bedown beat, reflecting his per-sonality and philosophy: Prineis known for his movingballadsand sad homilies. "But," hesays, "I think all of my songsare really optimistic."

John Prine was born inMaywood, Illinois, and begantoplay the guitar at the age ofthirteen.Hegothis big start byimpressing Paul Anka so muchthat the latter supplied Prinewith airfare to New York City.Once there, Prineended up on astage with Kris Kristoffersonand Carly Simon. The nextmorning he signed a five-yearrecording contract with Atlan-tic, and from then on he keptclimbing.

John Stanfield, a Davidsongraduateand local singer-song-writer,will be the warm-up act.

Departments Ignore

Student PerspectiveIt is disheartening to see that students play almost no

role in deciding which prospective professors are hiredhere. The History and Economics departments, amongothers,are neglectinga valuable source of opinion whenthey choose not to seek student's impressions ofcandidates for teaching positions.

Even if student's opinions of applicants were next toworthless,students deserve some input into the hiringprocess. After all, it is they who will be paying much ofthe new professor's salary, and they who will take hisclasses.Thestudentshave aright tosay how their tuitionmoney is spent.

Yet without questionstudent'sopinions are much morethan worthless when theCollege is trying todecide whichprofessorcanbest teachthesesamestudents. Oneof thedistinguishingattributesof a goodprofessor is that he beable to communicate well with his students,and that hisstudents find him interesting. Obviously, students arebest qualified to judge in these areas.

Students can identify prospective professors who aredull or talk over students' heads whereas anotherprofessor in the same field might not see the problem.Students can say which professors they find interestingand which they don't.

The faculty has inprinciple agreed that studentsshouldevaluate present faculty. They feel, with good reason,that students opinions significantly aid the administra-tion in judging the worth of professors now working atDavidson. It follows that student opinion would bevaluable in judging theworthof prospective professorsaswell. Each academic department should provide stu-dents,through lectures and interviews, the opportunity toevaluate and voice their opinions on prospectiveprofessors.

CCRL Hoardes TruthThe Council on Campus and Religious Life (CCRL)

should release theresults of the straw vote it conductedTuesday. By not doing so the CCRL isolates itself fromthe rest of the campus and discourages seriousdiscussion of the future of Richards and Baileyhouses.

Admittedly, thepoll goesa long way towards involvingthe campus in the decision-making process— at least wehope so.

Since the results of the poll are being kept secret, noone can be sure if the CCRL really is responding tostudent'sdesires.Theessence ofany democratic system,even one as miniscule as Davidson's, is the citizen'sopportunity to evaluate elected officials' performancesandinfluencetheir decisions. The CCRL's secrecy deniesthe students thisopportunity.

And why keep the results secret anyway? The basicreason seems to be that theCCRL simply wants todo asit pleases without being forced to consider studentopinion. If no one but the CCRL knows what studentopinion is, theCCRL cannot intelligently be criticized forgoing against it.

Studentsneed toknow theresults of thepoll inorder tocontinue to participate in the decision-making process.As long as the CCRL keeps them in the dark, studentscannot intelligently doso.

The CCRL should stop hiding the poll results.—Mark Barrett

Semester SystemWorks Better

To the Editor:If you are like us, you

returned from Christmas breakand a.) were not ready to jumpback into studying again, hav-ing been on vacation for threeweeks; b.) had no choice, sincemid-terms were a week awayand; c.) had forgotten thematerial you covered the firstthree weeks of the term.

These problems prompted usto reevaluate the quarter sys-tem. We would like to note afew of the advantagesof return-ing to a semester system.

We have already touched onsome of the disadvantages ofthe winter term. Valuable classtime is wasted; the first threeweeks are often unproductiveand the first week back inJanuary never gets off thegroundbefore the second week.In addition, during Christmaswhile friends athomeare enjoy-ing a well-deserved break,you are either studying orfeelingguilty because you'renotstudying.

The semester system wouldmean 15 rather than 10 weekterms. This would allow moretimeto absorband reflect uponthe material. Ten weeks is tooshort to tie things together.Just when the student is famil-iar with thebask concepts andcould develop a more criticalapproach, the term is over.

Each class would not meeteveryday, thus giving the stu-dent and the professor moretime toprepareand reflect uponthe material between classmeetings.

The system would save mon-ey and time. We would onlyneed to have two registrationperiods, two drop-add periodsand two exam periods. Thiswould save the registrar andother people involved in theseprocesses time andeffort. Itwould also save the collegemoney.

Since many other collegesareon a semester system,it wouldbe much easier to participatein other programs such asthe Washington Semester andthe Drew University U.N. Se-

SGA Wants OpinionJim Haynes

Senateto conducta studentopinion poll.The Senate is concerned about theabsence ofproductive communicationonthe Davidson Athletics issue and hopesto promote a better atmosphere fordebate. TheSenatefeels thatanaccurateassessment of student opinion is crucialfor thatdebate.

Through «,he recent Questionnaire, theSenateiiopes togauge studentopinioninfive areas potentially affected by Athle-ticpolicy: athletic budgetpriorities,social life, academic standards (inclu-ding Honor Code), school image, andalumni support.TheAthletic committeesought to create an objective question-naire,but the fact that a questionnairewas created atall reveals a bias towardpossiblechange. The questions reflectedmajor topics of discussion among stu-dents.

The Senate hopes that this question-naire will be helpful in futureconsidera-tion of athletics at Davidson. Moreimportant, the Senate hopes that thismanifestation of student concern andopinion will be conducive to greaterandmore open debate on this topic.

s.uinr Jim Naynes is SGA Athletic< ommittec Chairman.

For the past few years the Davidsonathletic7 program has been a frequenttopicof discussiononthe Davidsoncam-pus. Vocal faculty members and policy-making Trustees make their respectiveopinions very clear. Some studentsrevealed their stance earlier this yearthrough an active poster campaignwhichhighlighteddeficiencies inourathletic policy.Unfortunately,indignantprotestations by concerned faculty andindividual students against unyielding(in this case) Trustees have not facili-tated a constructive exchange of ideas.Rather, these actions have resulted inheightened tension oncampus and havecreated a tendency among competingfactions to fortify their positions whiledisregardingother pointsof view. Somefaculty members think they are beingignored; many in the athletic depart-ment feelasif theyareinastateof siege.Pressure is coming from all sides: theTrustees want winning teams, thefaculty wants an academic atmosphereand higher pay (at the expense ofathletics if need be), and the studentswant...WHAT?

Noonereallyknows what thestudentsas a whole want.

This lack is what prompted the SGA

than the- Trustees, they are probablybetter informed about most issuesconcerning this institution.Iwould liketo see four students on the Board ofTrustees— elected intheir junioryearbythe student body to serve a two yearterm. Two students would be electedeach year, and would have to beapproved by the administration beforeassuming their position.

Morebusiness-oriented courses shouldbeadded to thecurriculum. As shown inlast Sunday's Charlotte Observer, stu-dents across the country demonstratean increasing desire to study thebusiness world:At Davidson,professorsmust continually exclude interestedstudents frompractical business coursessuch as accounting, statistics, andpublic finance. Since the economicsdepartment is currently looking for areplacement for Dr. Avinger, perhapsthey should seek out a person speciali-zing in business-related fields.

Discussion groups are needed tosupplement many of the courses inourcurriculum. One Ivy League universitybases its entire course structure uponthis concept. The Humanities programhasdane^-ccminendable jobin this area,centered upon lecture, followed up bygroup discussion (thoughIthink thegroups are too l»rge).

If thereare extraseats available for acourse, we should encourage qualifiedmembers of the community, especiallysenior citizens, to participate withstudents.in attending classes. Peopleoutside the student community can adda great deal of insight to our learningexperience.Their experiencesinlife anddiverse points of view may prove to beinvaluable to our understanding.

In the last several years, two expen-sive improvementshavebeenrealized atDavidson: namely the construction ofthe E.H.Little Library and the renova-tion of the Martin Science Building.Some expensive improvements (such asthe Commons) have been approved forthe future, while other expensive im-provements (new professorships, a newgym) are under consideration.

Have we been ignoring less expensiveimprovements? Is it possible to makeimprovements that don't cost millions ofdollars? Below Ioffer some suggestionsthat put no constraints on our alreadytight budget.

The period in which students arepermitted to drop a course withoutpenalty should be lengthened.It mightonly take a week to determine ifyou likea professor,but itmight take longer todetermine if aprofessor likes you.Manycourses begin their first few weeks bycovering rather simple concepts.It maybe two or three weeks before you realizethat the material is over your head.Some universities permit a student todrop a course until exam week. Inaddition, we need to establish a con-siderable period of time where a studentis permitted to go from pass/fail statusto regular grading status in a course.

Night exams have been discussed inthe past, but the idea deserves moreserious consideration. Many studentswork better at night,and F £ unfair topenalize them »%*& our existing morn-"V/^ernoonexam schedule.

This visit is not Kelly's firstto Davidson. She accompaniedher husband,PatKelly,in1977when he directed Euripedes'Alcestis. TheKellys are able tospendtimeatDavidsonbecauseof the scheduling differencesbetween the University of Dal-las and Davidson.

What would YOU do ifsomeone on your hall suddenlyfainted in your room? Onefreshman studenthad the rightidea when she called for David-son'sstudent-run emergency

Eie service. Within minutes,student Emergency Medi-rechnicians were on hand.

The College has eight certi-fied EMT's in its volunteeremergency rescue service.Tobecome certified, they took 150hoursof advance first-aid train-ing. Tie prss»m. started se-veralyearsagobyBobrul&£2*"79, has been an effective ser-vice to both the college and

The eight volunteers are or-ganized into four teams withtwoEMT'son each. One teamis on doty for three days at atime, and the shifts rotate sothat one team doesn't alwaysget the weekend. In this waythey can be paged 24 hours aday and respond immediately.

Dick Deibert, the head of theservice,encourages everyonetouse it. "Our service is notconfined toemergencies.It'snobig deal to page an EMT oncampus— that'sexactly why wehave volunteered our services."

EMT's are prepared to handlereal emergencies,but they arealso willingtogive adviceaboutsimple injuries, escort studentsto the infirmary, or even sug-gest whether a trip to theinfirmary isnecessary.

The infirmary nurse is thefirst person contacted in anemergency.She takes down thelocation and the nature of theproblem, and then pages thetwoEMT's on duty.One EMTgetsnecessary equipment whilethe other goes immediately tothe scene of theaccident.

Deibert said the biggestproblem has been caller impa-ti^ne?. Thenurse needs certaininformation before ȣ? can dis-patch the EMT's so that theywill be prepared to handle thecall. It saves time in thelong run to answer questionspatiently. EMT's takean aver-age of two minutes to arriveafter they have been paged.

TheEMT's are pleased withthe response of Davidson stu-dents to the service this year.Theyaverageacallevery twoorthree days. "We've treatedeverything from severe lacer-ations to diabetic reactions tosprained ankles," said Deibert.So far this year, the EMT'shave treated a cheerleader whofell on her head, a head-on

flickerball collision, fingersslammed in a door, burns,andautoaccidents. "In fact," Deibert said with a chuckle, "lastnight we got called out to treatan intoxicated guy who felldown the stairs." Jeanne Plow-den, one of two girls on thesquad, says, "I've only beensent out into the communityonce. That was for an elderlyperson who fell out of bed."

Is it a big demand on theEMT's time? Plowden frownsthoughtfully,and then says,"Not too much. Sometimeshaving to be on campus helpsbecauseitforcesme to study. Ifwe really have to leave, we canuR'JSlly *fcrk C'it a switch withSOfneone who'sgoing tobehereanyway."

The EMT's feel that theirs isan important service. Theystress the fact that itis low-keyand that callers should not beintimidated. "When you call,you won't get a half a dozenpolice cars and ambulances,"said Deibert.Plowden thinksthe closeness is important. "Alot of times a student will gethurt and not want to call anambulance in Cornelius,but hewill call anEMT."

Two EMT's will be gradu-ating this year. Deibert islooking for new volunteers.

Shopping center corrupts Davidson lifeAndthere urebud sides.

ByMAKK DUCKETTStaffCorrespondent

Soon our peaceful existencewill be changed. The moralfoundations of our characterswill be undermined. The finefabric of our lives will be rentassunder. A new shopping cen-ter is opening in Davidson.

What mayappear to some tobe the best thing in Davidsonsince the new head shop is inreality a treacherous forcewhich will rob us of our inno-cence and dignity. We havecourted a demon, a viper, tocome into our midst. She willsubtly seduce us further andfurther down the winding pathto our destruction until wereach the point of no return.Then we will no longer be ableto return to the lives we onceled. We will have been corrup-ted by a two bit streetwalker.

B.\ A.IMILLKKStuff Writer. Over Christmasbreak Itook

the train several times to near-by Chicago. In theSouth, mostpeopleareused tocities that aregrowing. Chicago is a city thathas grown.

I'd made the trip so manytimes before. I'd sat and staredlike all the others, mute andblind. It was a special blind-ness,not human or physical,anuppermiddleclass suburbansightlessness that could haveseen,but would rather not rightnow, thank you. PerhapsIhadgrown immune from overexpo-sure?No.Inever reallycared inthe first place.

It didn't exist.Reflections in the window suc-cessfully obscured the outerreality, recreating in light theimpenetrable mental wall.Throughout the incessant train-clack stopandgo, my eyes re-mained vacant like the lotswhich called to deaf ears as Ipassedaboveitall.

The commuter train is reallyquite a clever arrangement.When you're three stories up,everything is removed and un-real.

Biedenbach said. "If we win,itcertainly won't be by a romp."

After the 61-59 last secondloss toUT-Chattanoogaand theMarshall win, the Cats have a3-6 Southern Conference recordand a 6-10 overall record.Davidson currently is seventhin the league, but Biedenbachpoints out that his team couldbe third had they defeated VMIand UT-Chattanooga. TheCatslost these twogames by a totalof three points.

"Anybody has a possibilityfor the number three throughnine spots in the conferenceright now," Biedenbach said."But wehave to win the rest ofour games toget into the upperpart of the league; it's reallyimportant for the seedingof thetournament," he added.

Davidson gets a shot at twoconference foes this comingweek. The Cats travel to Wes-ternCarolina Monday night;the teams met previously, andDavidsondroppeda disappoint-ing five-point game. Appala-chian State visits the Coliseumnext Wednesday night.

Besides winning and break-ing a four-game losing streak,theMarshall victory as welcomefor other reasons. "Weneeded agame," Biedenbach said,"where we could have somefreedom— a game where wecould play with 'reckless aban-don under control'."

"This team has character,"he said. "The guys had sometough losses, but they keepworking together. A goodatti-tude and hard work leads towinning and fun.We'regoing toget it all turned around."

Recently,Davidson has been plagued byinconsistent effort which led toclose losses like Saturday nightagainst UT-Chattanooga.As oflate other games have gottenoutof handin the last minutessuch as the recent Citadel gamewhere the Cats dropped a 12point lead in the second half.

Consistency is the key tomaintainingcontrol and win-ning games. Coach Eddie Bie-denbach credited Hall's "con-sistent hard effort" as a majorelement of the victoryas wellasa "solid strong effort out ofeverybodyelse."

No doubt, the Cats will havetodependon a "consistenthardeffort" by everyone tonightagainstSt.John'sinNew York.Biedenbach feels that the Red-men will be the Cats toughestoppenent all season. With anumber eight ranking in thenation, St. Johns will be stiffcompetition even against a su-perb Davidson effort.

One of the new faces on theDavidson bench this season isthat of Marv Kessler, whojoined Coach Eddie Bieden-bach's coaching staff in Sep-tember. The addition of Kess-ler, anationally-known basket-ballstrategist and lecturer with15 years of coaching experiencein the New York area, shouldimprove Wildcat Basketballfor-tunes.

Kessler, who played collegeball for N.C. State, developedmost of his basketball knowl-edge in New York, where hecoached nine years in the highschool ranks before moving ontoAdelphiUniversity. His con-nection with the Davidson pro-gram comes from a long friend-ship with Coach Biedenbach.The two have workednumerousclinics along the Eastern Sea-board including Howard Gar-finkel's prestigious camp andKessler supplied recruiting tipsfor Biedenbach during the Lat-ter's Wolfpack coaching days.Coach Biedenbach commentedin his typically honest fashion,"Iknew that he (Kessler)knewthe game."

When asked to pinpoint rea-sons which prompted his moveto Davidson, Kessler notedBiedenbach's influence and aconsideration for his children.He also commented that "youonly go 'round once," referringto the fact thatmuch of his hiehas been spent in one place,New York.

Anotherpossible disadvantageDavidsonhas is its salary levels, which, while theycompare favorably with colleges of similarsize, fall short of large' institutions.However,because of the tight jobmarket,salary is "not much of a consideration,"Zimmermann said.

' ;::..':VThe College,Zimmermann said,is "very

anxious to increase the number of womenon the faculty," as.well as the amount ofminority representation among professors.

Recruitment of minorities, however, isdifficult,Zimmermann said. There is alimited supplyof minority candidates, andin the case of blacks, "competition fromall-black institutions." Department chair-mendo write letters to graduateschools ofblack universities, but many black appli-cantsrefusemorelucrativeoffers inorder toserve inblack educational institutions.

The criteria for selection of a Davidsonfaculty member are basically threefold:Teaching, trb4>fr'"'frip.andcompatibility.

Scholarship,measuredbyOte applicant'sacademic, reaseareh, and publication re-cord, is essential in today's tight jobmarket.
