The President said he will af-firm any decision made by hisvice
presidents.
SUBSIDIZED ATHLETICSThe president has stated that
Davidson will continue to sub-sidize athletics until the
collegecan determine whether the Wild-cat Fund can raise
sufficientfunds to continue the presentfootball program.
In the year ending Dec. 31.the Wildcat Fund raised $150,000. But
in the fiscal year end-ing last .June 30, $265,000 was re-quired to
maintain the footballprogram, according to Cornell.
Since $150,000 has already

been raised for next year bythe Wildcat Fund, the college isnow
in the process of determin-ing how much it will subsidize.
Cornell said he is anxiouslyawaiting the Student Govern-ment
poll on subsidized foot-ball, since he believes that student
opinion may be an influ-ential factor in the amount thecollege will
subsidize football innext year's budget.
TUITION AND FEESThe college begins investiga

budgetproposal will be completed inFebruary to take to the
Trus-tees in May.
Although Carnell would not
predict the increase, he didcomment that college incomein this
year's budget is downby over (50.000. Cornell said thiswas because
of loss of tuitiui."Many students are away from
the campus on specialprogramsthat we didn't plan for lastyear,"
he said.
Unless this money can be sup-plied or expenditures cut,
thecollege could show a deficit bythe end of the year.

AN ANALYSISBy ROBERT TOUCHTON
Associate EditorThe security of any socieiy is
the responsibility of the mem-bers dt that system, and
suc-cessful security must come, mthe final analysis, from thepeople
within that society.
The members of Davidson'ssociety — the students them-selves
—must take premiere
responsibility for the securityof their campus.Perhaps the major
problem
in the realm of improved se-curity lies in the lack of
experience the college has had indealing with thievery, assault,and
other crimes against property and persons.
Davidson has been an isolal- Other colleges in MecklenburgCounty
apparently had securityproblems similar to the situa-tion at
Davidson, but many in-creased their security force tohandle the
difficulties.
James Dennis Rash, Dean ofStudents at the University ofNorth
Carolina at Charlotte,pointed out that his campus ismore spread out
than Davidsonand that the students are forcedto commute in greater
num-bers.
"About 75 per cent of our stu-dents do not live in college
res-idence halls, so we have peoplecoming and going all the
time.Also, we hold classes in someof the dormitories, so there
aremany people in the dorms be-sides residents."
He stated that they have notbeen troubled by attempts todetain
coeds, although he ac-knowledged that it is harder toknow about
this situation whenlarge numbers of students areIiv'ug off
campus.
"We have a new chief secur-ity officer who has tightenedthings
up. We have recylinderedall the locks and we have triedto limit the
number of masterkeys that are distributed."
But the real answer to thesecurity problem lies in stu-dent
willingness to help thecollege in protecting propertyand person.
Strange personsroaming the halls of dormi-tories can, and should,
bequestioned as to their desti-nation and invitation.Perhaps
students could be
hired—
or maybe even volun-teer—to aid the security forcein protecting
the campus. Ar.
escort service for coeds mightbe developedbetween the libra-ry,
Phi Hall, and Grey House.
There are certain solutionsthat only the collegecan effect.But
if past experience holdstrue, and if a real and lastinganswer to
the dilemma is to befound, students must becomeconcerned about the
situationand aotively support the solu-tion. The security of their
campus depends, at last, on them.
By TOM BRUCEContributing Editor
Queens, J. C. Smith, UNCCConfrontSimilarProblems
At Johnson C. Smith Univer-sity in Charlotte, Dean of Stu-dents
Joseph Gaston said thatthe University has had somesecurity
problems, but he wasnot sure that it was an increaseover previous
years.
"Many of our students makefrequent trips to the conven-ience
stores in the Five Pointscommunity, and some of ourmen students
have been intimi-dated by non-students in tin-neighborhood. We've
also hadsome petty thievery in the dor-mitory,but no incidents of
largeitems such as televisions or ex-pensive clothing."
Gaston said that students areencouraged to lock their rooms.He
said that the majority ofstudents are careful about this,but some
leave keys on thedoor sill and with friends.
"We have a security force offour persons at a given time,with
more at night and for bigoccasions when the campus iscrowded,"
Gaston explained.
Miss Diane DelPizzo, Dean oiStudents at Queens College, reports
that incidents of petutheft or attempted assault havenot been a
problem at tinCharlotte campus.
The Queens security force iicomposed of two men per shift
ed rural men's college with astrong honor code and an
ad-ministration which has madesecurity personnel into watch-dogs
rather than crimefightersor law enforcers.
Other colleges have for yearshad locked dorm rooms,
armedsecurity men patrolling dorms,and bright lighting that
makesthe campus look like Washing-ton, D. C. at night.
But Davidson hasn't. Andperhaps everyone
—studentsas
well as administration— has
become so accustomed tothings in the "good ol' days"that they
malfunction whenfaced with the real world ofstudent thieves, men
intent onforceable assault, and a so-ciety which tries to get all
itcan by any possible means.When Director of Physical
Plant Grover C. Meetze. Jr. at-tempted to install
additionallighting in 19G4, students (sup-ported by some faculty)
pulledup stakes and physically pre-vented the erection of the
polesfor the new lights.
And students are so used to,and fond of, their "open dorms"that
they refuse to recognizethat there are "no trespassing"signs on
doors to all dorms andthat these apply to everyonebut invited
guests and other au-thorized persons.
The administration has plansto "beef up" its security sys-tem,
maintainingas far as pos-sible the privacy of students intheir
actions and the tradition-al non-interference of securitypersonnel
in student life.
The college might be wise toestablish closer relationshipswith
the Town of Davidson po-lice. Local police preventedthree thefts at
fraternity housesover the Christinas break, andtheir cooperation in
guardingthe campus, particularly overvacations, can surely be
gar-nered without sacrificing theimpunity from arrest which

SOS: Security Offensive Suggestedhour shift. Security officers
aretrying to make the best of thisshortage by increasing their
co-operation with the Davidson po-lice.
Linked with the problem ofpersonnel is one of attitude onthe
part of students. Meetzepoints out' that the security of-ficer is
not employed to spy onthe students, but rather to helpthem.
Terry spoke of these twoareas by saying, "A securityforce must
have sophisticationin dealing with students andoutsiders. You don't
deal withthem the same way. We need agood man at the head of
secur-ity who has the ability to trainothers. He also must
maintaina nitty-gritty relationship withstudents."
Terry went on to say, "Itwould be very unfortunate tohave a
'closed campus'. But itcould come to that. The securityforce needs
the cooperation ofstaff and students in reportingontsidois on
campus and in tak-ing minimal security precautions with their own
belong-ings."
day.All these factors must be con-
sidered in the planning of a se-curity programnow. The
admin-istration is well aware of this.
C. David Cornell, Vice Presi-dent for Finance and Develop-ment,
says that "Upgrading thesecurity system is a high prior-ity. This
year's budget includesa request for a significant in-crease in
funds for security."
Cornell,Dean of Students WillTerry, and Directorof the Phys-ical
Plant Grower Meetie haveall voiced the opinion that se-curity
should be upgraded. Thequestion seems to be: Whatshould be done
first?
All three men agree thatthereis a need for better
lightingoncampus.Meetze drew up a gen-eral lighting plan for the
col-lege in 1964. Ever since then hehas put in a "standard
request"every year for funds for thispurpose.The request has yet
tobe heeded and lighting has notbeen improved.
There is also a need for anincrease in personnel. At thep;esent

That is how Brian Tarr, pres-ident of the ATO house, describ-ed
the then or that house's television set over Christmas vacalion.
Despite the fact that thenumber of reported thefts oncampus is just
about the sameas last year, there is a growingconcern about campus
securityat Davidson.
Part of this concern stemsfrom the fact that security isan
important factor to be con-sidered when thinking of coed-ucation.
The recent attack ofone coed has already had itsimpact. Bobbie

Lack Of MotivationCuts Both Ways
To the Editor:In the latosi student govern
ment elections there were sev-cral offices filled by
unopposedcandidates. Election reformsare .needed to assure that
inthe future students are giventhe opportunity to approve
ordisapprove every candidate.
Not every student who regis-ters as a candidate is qualifiedto
carry out the duties of hisselected position, nor is he al-ways
supported by the majorityof the students. To allow a can-didate to
assume an office with-out student approval is a greatinjustice to
the school.
A means of correcting thissituation is to allow students tocheck
for or against every un-opposed candidate. A majorityis needed
before the candidate-can assume his office. If hedoes not gain a
majority of the;vote, then the position will bofilled by the
student govern-ment.
The present system allows anystudent the opportunity to gainan
office by simply registeringimmediately before the finaldeadline.
He is not required topresent a platform; his opin-ions are not
challenged:and hemay not represent the best in-terests or the
majority of theDavidson students.If Davidson is to have a pro-
ductive student government, thenit must be responsive to
thewants and needs or the stu-dents. It cannot be responsiveunder
the present system, asunopposed candidates do notnecessarily
reflect the views ofthe majority.
Personal interests can easilymar the oruanization's
produc-tivity. Election reforms areneeded.
Thomas Redding 74Davidson College
To the Editor:As ore of the members of the
class of 1975 who has alreadyleft the hallowed confines
ofDavidscii College, I feel compolled to reply to Dr.
Spencers"explanation of the rather ab-rupt departure of four
fresh-men. The reknowned Presidentof the illustrious "Princeton
ofthe South" has claimed thatthese students (myself includ-ed) left
due to a "lack of academic motivation."
Being able to speak only formyself, Iam forced to agreewith Dr.
Spencer. Lack of aca-demic motivation did play animportant part in
my decisionto transfer.
However, Dr. Spencer shouldbe extremelycautious when citing
"lack of academic motiva-tion" as a reason for studenttransfers.
Surely he must real-ize that such a statement castsat least as much
blame, if notmore, on the school than on theindividual student!
"Lack ofstudent motivation" is merelythe effect of a much more
seri-ous problem which, if not cor-rected, must have disastrous
ef-fects on the entire college com-munity.
This problem is the failure orthe Administration and Facultyto
stimulate and sustain aca-demic motivation in the stu-dents.
A word of advice, Sam: Heedthe cries or "frustration
anddisillusionment'' among the stu-dents. After all. they are
theones who support you andyours, and who will continue todo so as
alumni, if they don'tdrop out or transfer due to"lack of academic
motivation"before they graduate. Thinkabout k, Sam.Remember,
"lackof academic motivation" is ahandy phrase, but it cuts droply
both ways.

president's blotter this week, one inthe form of a petition and the
other in the form of a re-solution passed by the fraternities.
As the battle against the comprehensive fee pro-cedes, however,
it becomes increasingly clear that thefee itself is a rather
insignificant issue. For the majorityDf the students, they will be
paying exactly what theyire paying now. With alterations such as
the exclusionjf the board and social fees, the comprehensive fee
wouldbe satisfactory.
The real issue at the basis of all the controversy isthat of
governance: who makes the decision and howis it made. Considered
from the standpoint of college gov-ernance, the comprehensive fee
has been a disaster.
In short the fee was imposed by administrative fiat.Neither
faculty nor students were consulted or even ad-vised of this
decision. The administrative triumverate madethe decision, the
letters was sent out and that was the endof the matter as far as
the president and vice presidentswere concerned.
Such actions cause both faculty and students to won-der as to
how much trust they can really place in the ad-ministration. It is
no small wonder that the faculty andstudents are suspicious of the
administration's motiveson the Governance Committee. They ask
themselves howit is that discussion of the issue of coeducation and
theunion should be open to imputs from all constituiences,yet the
comprehensive fee is closed to such suggestions?
Even after initial protests were made, no attemptwas made to
include students or faculty members in thefinal decision of the
fee. Although we have confidencethat the vice presidents will not
try to impose the com-prehensive fee as it is proposed upon
students, we stillbelieve that if the administration truly believes
in shar-ing of power, they will share power on all decisions,
notjust ones they choose.
Campus SecurityThe problem of compus security is one which must
be
met with all due speed, for the safety of all students. Ifthe
college entertains any hopes at all of continued junioryear coeds
on the Eight College Exchange Program, orif the college expects any
coeds to become regular stu-dents in the near future, improved
security is an absolutenecessity.
If the quality of life at Davidson is to be maintained,students
must feel safe in leaving their rooms unlocked,and must feel secure
in the fact that when they returnfrom Christmas vacation all the
furnishings of their fra-ternity house will still be there. No more
empty holes inthe walls on Jackson Court. No more petty thievery in
thedorms. The college must hire more security personnel,
es-pecially at night.
But the problem cannot be met by the administrationalone.
Students must become concerned about the securityof their campus
for two reasons. They must exercise theirright to ask strangers if
they have a destination and aninvitation— those "no trespassing"
signs are for real. Theymust use more caution in looking out for
strangers and inhelping, rather than laughing at, the security
force.
They must secondly become concerned about campussecurity to
insure their own freedom. They must stay at-tuned to administration
proposals, exploring all the im-plications of those plans. Over
breaks it is important thattown police patrol the campus; during
the term it is im-portant that they not enter the grounds and
inhibit stu-dent activities by their presence as law enforcers on
cam-pus.
The line between a safe, free campus and a policestate is
pencil-lead thin. We hope that students will be-come actively
involved in the search for solutions to thesecurity problem, for
their own protection. The administra-tion has no plans for
instituting a police state, but it is upto the students to protect
themselves from a time whensuch a system is necessary.

legitimate student opinion.Subsequent to this decision,
however, one of the co-editorsattached a boldfaced, little
edi-torial note in which he deploredsuch letters. His motive for
thisaction was, if anything, morepolitical than that of the
let-ters. Yet the editors decide pol-icy.
The other co-editor, however,felt left out of the campaign,sohe
decided to endoise the othercandidate in the top editorialon page 4
that week. This hadnever been done before.
Of course, in the editorial hedissociated himself mildly fromthe
staff, qualifying the unique-ness of his opinion, which wasbased no
doubt on a Paulinevision. This editorial, a prece-dent, was in
direct contradic-tion to the tone of the editorialnote attached to
the letters onthe next page.On one hand,oneeditor expressed his
contemptfor cheap propaganda while theother editor reserved the

brawl this year too, a farce tothe tune of audience
participa-tion. The only consolation wasthat few people attended
any-how, and most of these had al-ready made up their minds
be-forehand. Perhaps one way tosalvage the purposeof this
gath-ering would be to pick a mode-rator from the faculty insteadof
one from the ElectionsBoard. In this manner one impartial
individual could serveas a selective yet objectivemediator who
might enforce therule of equal time among th<audience as well as

appro-priate.

Students ToTest "800Rule"Two Clemson freshmen will challenge the
constitution-
ality of the Atlantic Coast Conference's Controversial "800rule"
concerning the academic requirement that prospec-tive athletes
achieve a combined total of at least 800 onthe College Entrance
Examination Board.
The students, Joey Beach of St. George and James Vick-ery of
Charleston, recently filed a suit requesting a pre-liminary
injunction to prohibit Clemson and the ACC fromenforcing the
requirement. As of yet, no date has been setfor a formal hearing
which is to take place in the U.SDistrict Court in Anderson.NCAA
Concerned About Exclusion of Women
According to "The Chronicle of Higher Education,"the National
Collegiate Athletic Association recently dis-covered that in trying
to coordinate the nation's sports, itmay have overlooked someone
who does not wish to beoverlooked— the female. During the past
year, WalterByers. the NCAA's executive director, learned that
women might have a legal case if they claim that the
NCAAdiscriminates against them in its all-male policies.Faculty
Council Discusses Department HeadEvaluation
In a recent meeting of the Faculty Affairs Committee;>{
Mississippi State University, it was recommended thatthe department
heads be evaluated every four years by full-time faculty members
with one year's service. Accordingto tiie committee report, a
decline in the "influx of freshideas" by heads after several years
of leadership has madethis evaluation necessary.
TheFaculty Evaluation Committee made a motion that'data
collected on each faculty member participating inthe faculty
evaluation be released to the Student Associ-ation for publication
purposes, if the Student Associationrequests these data." The
motion was placed in committeefor further study.U.N.C. Okays

Since losing their first regu-lar season game to an
excep-tionally fine Clemson team. Da-vidson's Wildkittens have
comeon to win nine games in a rowo\er their opponents, some
bymargins exceeding thirty points.
The reasons for this enviousachievement,according to fresh-man
coach Duncan Postma, aremany.
"If Isay one thing, the teamdefense has been the
greatestimprovement," says' Postina.
However, it's been Joe Dun-can who has improved the most,coming
on to "key the offense"according to Postma.
In Wednesday night's gamethough. Duncan suffered an an-kle
injury in warm-up and wasunable to play.
"Jim Lowry has also comearound to his own," continuedPostma, in
reference to theteam's exceptional ball-handlingguard.
In addition, the 'Kittens havea formidable scoring combina-tion
in (i 9 center Sheldon Parker. and forwards Greg Dunnand Larry

Dunn, the team's leadingscorer so far tins year averag-ing 22.8

The Davidson challenge haslured two new coaches into thefooihall
program.
Like the Sirens of the "Odys-sey." the challenge has
broughtthese two young coaches intothe rocky wasters of
Davidson'sathletic - academic - economicproblems.
Dave Roberts is 25 years oldand hails from Greenville, S.C.He
bears a slight resemblanceto a short Hoss
Cartwright,andappropriately enough, he willcoach the defensive
line.
He graduated from WesternCarolina University and playedsome pro
ball with the AtlantaFalcons.
However, he was rendeied inactive when he suffered tornknee
cartilege and a separatedshoulder, all on the same play.
Roberts then coached highschool football in South Caro-lina and
last year, college ballat Kastern Kentucky.
Ron Graham is the one whodoes not loak like Hoss Cart-wright.He
grew up in Ohio andgraduated from Ashland Col-lege.
He spent his next two yearscoaching in high school underBob
Mosketti. the present Wild-cat defensive coordinator. Lastseason he
returned to Ashlandlo coach.
Bolh coaches cite two big rea-sons for coming to Davidson
Surprising MattersTackle UNC Tonight
The Davidson wrestling teamis undefeated, but coach
CharlieParker will make no predictionsas lo how strong the team
is.
"I still don't know whetherwe're that good or they're thatbad,"
he said.
Several of the DavidsonRrapplers are still undefeated
inindividual competition.
The team took their fourthstraight in a shutout of Washington
and Lee last weekend, awin that even surprised Parker."I had heard
that they were
a strong team," he said, "butwe beat them at every posi-tion,
forfeiting only at 118. asusual."
Davidson has no one lo compete in the 118 weight class andis
forced to forfeit that positionin every match.
The team should have achance to really prove itsstrength tonight
at UNC,accord-ing to Parker.
"Chapel Hillhas a good team,even though they have only
onewrestler returning from lastyear." Parker stated. "Theygave
Virginia good fight."
Next weekend the 'Cats willhost a four squad meet of con-ference
teams that will deter-mine the leader of what Parkercalls
theconference "amateurs",the non-scholarship teams.
Davidson. VMI, The Citadel.;«nd Furman will meet here in
atwo-day quad meet.
"The Conference is dividedinto two classes." Parker add«*d. "the
scholarship schools andthe non scholarship schools. Tlu»quad meet
here next weekendwill determine the strongest ofthe nonscholarship

Although the presidents con-ceded that the fee would
makebookkeeping easier for the eating clubs, they opposed the
feeoverall because they feel thatit would hurt many students whoare

Students Voice ConcernOver Course Registration
By JOHN CASSELSStaff Writr
In tin.' tradition nl registratinn. siudfiits are once
againcomplaining or their situation.Some freshmen have
voicedconcern and consternation overthe sparsity of courses
offeredfor the spring term.
Tin- lino outside Chambersdining hall began forming inearly
afternoon Tuesday, asheshmtri hoped to register forthe choice spots
left over fromupperclassmen'8 registration.
Many felt that with the fewernumber of courses offered,
theirchances were bad.
When asked about the fewernumber of courses, Richard C.Burts
.Jr.. registrar, said, "1am not aware that there arefewer courses
offered in thespring."
Overall, the number of cours-es offered in each departmentwas
nearly the same as the fall.r*.d win:er terms. Burts pointednut
that several upper levelcourses must be worked in-during the year
for major requiremerits, and the administrationIt !i that several
sections ofsuch courses (Matt. 25 26were unnecessary in the
springterm.
Dean of Students Will H. Terry said. "I have not received asmany
complaints on course of

ferings and students being bump"■(I asIdid in the fall and
winterterms."
Terry felt that the extendedstudies program helped to alle-viate
some of the previous prob-lems, since students needed onlytwo
courses in most cases."I think part of the problem
is that upperclassmen are fill-ingspaces incourses that
shouldhave been saved for freshmen."
Terry said, however, thatmoves had been made throughparticular
departments to openthe classes up to more freshmen and sophomores
who are,trying to fill their area require-ments.
More advanced courses havebeen offered spring term tohelp
upperclassmen fill majorrequirements, consequently thenumber of
basic courses offeredsuffered from this necessaryemphasis.
