While it was undoubtedly the intention of sonif faculty members to create a situa- tion in which more change could occur, the actual result of the faculty action is to return to a rather convention- al program. I believe that some form of area studies apart from the regular course requirements is an integral part of the Blue Sky program, but the present 3-3-3 system will make such studies impossi- ble at this time. In fact. I fear that the en- tire new curriculum has been jeopardized by this ac- tion. -Faculty and students have spent four years at- tempting to design a new curriculum. What we have to show fsr the effort is a new calendar and new course require- ments. "The mountain has labored and produced a mouse." As a faculty we have not been flexible enough nor imaginative enough to break out of the conventional cur- riculum pattern. In this the faculty has let the students down. I see the Following disacl advantages to the faculty de- cision to discontinue, at this time, work beyond that re- quired in courses: 1 .

NOTE: At the request of THE DAVIDSON- IAN, two faculty members have submitted their views on the recent demise of area exams and the co~.se quent prospects for educational reform. The question will be considered in the coming year by a special study committee established by the faculty last week and to be appointed by President Samuel R. Spencer Jr. Dr. Max E. Polley, Professor of Bible and Religon. is a member of the EPC. Jon W. Fuller, Assistant Professor of Political Science, has spoken out in favor of restructuring educational programs away from tra- ditional patterns. Area Exams: After The Fall, What? Among ilu- educational in- novations proposed under the Blue Sky program, which we have su far attempted to put into practice, area exams were the most daring. Their rejection by the faculty last week raises serious questions about the Tuture of any fur- ther educational innovation at Davidson. Although the faculty, at the same lime il suspended area exams, created a committee lo make a new study and new proposals, we cannot ex- pect much to result from that committee's efforts un- less we understand why this first effort failed, and why we should want to try again. The Davidson faculty are well prepared to teach 4heir respective disciplines, and they have a fine record of success in their teaching. Our students are also se lected primarily on the basis of their demonstrated skill at learning about specific disciplines in traditional classroom situations. This record of success in such traditional educational patterns is one of the obsta cles to doing anything differ ently. For some, it is a StBpng argument against tampering further with a pro- gram which has been both comfortable and rewarding. Bui for others, there is a disquieting sense that me- thods which have been suc- cessful in the past will not be adequate to meet future needs. Specialization, .which has been a logical response to the "knowledge explosion." is not sufficient to deal with our most difficult contem- porary problems.

Iam dtsapooihted with thefaculty decision to reject l|ieKIT report on area studies.
While it was undoubtedlythe intention of sonif facultymembers to create a situa-tion in which more changecould occur, the actual resultof the faculty action is toreturn to a rather convention-al program.Ibelieve that some form of
area studies apart from theregular course requirementsis an integral part of theBlue Sky program, but thepresent 3-3-3 system willmake such studies impossi-ble at this time.
In fact. Ifear that the en-tire new curriculum hasbeen jeopardized by this ac-tion. -Faculty and studentshave spent four years at-tempting to design a newcurriculum.
What we have to show fsrthe effort is a new calendarand new course require-ments. "The mountain haslabored and produced amouse."
As a faculty we have notbeen flexible enough norimaginative enough to breakout of the conventional cur-riculum pattern. In this thefaculty has let the studentsdown.I see the Following disacl
advantages to the faculty de-cision to discontinue, at thistime, work beyond that re-quired in courses:
1. The present :i :i-:i pro-gram Tor all freshmen andsophomores is extremely in-flexible. The EPC report hadthe virtue of providing bothfaculty and students with avariety of teaching-learningexperiences.
The student would havehad the opportunity of tak-ing a new interdisciplinaryteam-taught course, an areawarn (radically revised inform), and a project nowhe must take B regularcourse.Ibelieve both faculty and
students would have benefit-ed from these different ap-

ED. NOTE: At the request of THE DAVIDSON-IAN, two faculty members have submitted their viewson the recent demise of area exams and the co~.sequent prospects for educational reform.
The question will be considered in the comingyear by a special study committee established by thefaculty last week and to be appointed by PresidentSamuel R. Spencer Jr.
Dr.Max E. Polley,Professorof Bible and Religon.is a member of the EPC. Jon W. Fuller, AssistantProfessor of Political Science, has spoken out in favorof restructuring educational programs away from tra-ditional patterns.
AreaExams:After The Fall, What?Among ilu- educational in-
novations proposedunder the
Blue Sky program, which wehave su far attempted to put
into practice, area examswere the most daring. Theirrejection by the faculty last
week raises serious questionsabout the Tuture of any fur-ther educational innovationat Davidson.
Although the faculty,at the
same lime il suspended areaexams, created a committeelo make a new study andnew proposals, we cannot ex-pect much to result fromthat committee's efforts un-less we understand why this
first effort failed, and why
we should want to try again.
The Davidson faculty arewell prepared to teach 4heirrespective disciplines, andthey have a fine record ofsuccess in their teaching.
Our students are also selected primarily on the basisof their demonstrated skillat learning about specificdisciplines in traditional
classroom situations.This record of success in
such traditional educationalpatterns is one of the obstacles to doing anything differently. For some, it is aStBpng argument againsttampering further with a pro-gram which has been bothcomfortable and rewarding.
Bui for others, there is adisquieting sense that me-thods which have been suc-cessful in the past will notbe adequate to meet futureneeds.
Specialization, .which hasbeen a logical response tothe "knowledge explosion."is not sufficient to deal withour most difficult contem-
porary problems.The quality 6f life in our
cities, the dangers to our environmenl from pollution, thecontusion about meaning andpurpose in our lives, the dan-gerous conflicts among hu-man beings divided -on bothracial and national lines - -all these areproblems whichcut across traditionally se-

Green Says PaperMissed Good Show
C0^IJJ U ROBERT
God Bless £ou Too, SpiroThe purpose of this column is to heap scorn on
the head of likeable, lovable Ted Agnew. a man whois rapidly becoming a household favorite in Americangovernment and politics.
This is hardly a new idea, as much scorn hasbeen thrown his way recently, and deservedly so
Ted. as he was known earlier in his brief politi-cal career when he was trying to avoid an ethniclable. started out in. local politics around Baltimorewith just one campaign slogan: "Ted Agnew — he'syour kind of man.
" Apparently voters thought thiswas true.
By continual, diligent blundering his star hasrisen in the N'ixon administration, which shows whatsort of benighted heaven it must be.
Spiro Ted has the cardinal virtue of being bluniand direct', which should be refreshing in this ageof political doubletalk, but unfortunately he is onlyblunt and direct on a lew limited subjects, mainlythose he knows nothing about, or those which aren'timportant. Subjects like television— although he doeshave the air of a man who watches a lot of television,mostly old westerns -and hippies, ghettoes. etc. Hemanages to say next to nothing about national policy,possibly because he knows next to nothing about it.
He has one function in the administration— ver-bally bludgeoning the opposition.Perhapsworst of all,many Republicans seem to like him.
Imagine, if you will, that Spiro dutifully s.ervesNixon for' eight years, then runs for president on hisown,, and horror of horrors, is elected. Perhaps hisinaugural address wouldgo something like this:
"Eight years ago when I took office as Vice-President no one would listen to me. I was a voicecrying in the wilderness, spurned by those deludedminions of the left wing who controlled the mediaand the students.
"Yes, there was a left wing conspiracy againstme, and against President Nixon. ButIam glad to saywe have conqueredit.
"Tonight no news casters will carry oppositionto my speech, not any more. Now that the news mediahas been brought under control of this great govern-ment of ours, the liberty of our country is assured.
"And there are no effete hippie protesters mar-ching out there to oppose us today. Under GeneralMitchell our policy of firmness and law and orderhas eliminated that menace of tlie left wing conspiracy.
"Now that J. Edgar Hoover has put some back-bone in our foreign policy from his post as Secretary «of State, and General Hershey as Commissioner ofEducation has knocked some sense into those kids,our country is more safe and secure than it has everbeen.
"And having silenced all opposition, we nowhave a silent America."

groups charge considerably and thatto book a big time group could welldeplete' the social allotment. But theyfail to note that block-booking witharea schools reduces the cost consid-erably. The Council could have pur-sued that course.
A number <>i students have saidthat one big name per year wouldmake the "unknown
"concerts more
bearable; in that suggestion lies an-other alternative.
The social fee as it now stands iyinadequate; but most students'seemto indicate that they would not mindpaying more for better entertainment.This can be accomplished in two ways;either by a door charge, or by raisingthe social fee.
Of these two. probably the doorcharge is the better solution. Well-known groups, such as Davidson se-cured until last year, will draw well,in spite.of the price of tickets. If theentertainment is;good, students willbe willing to pay.
It is a wallet-saving tradition to,beable to gain admission by the flip ofa Davidson I.D., but the practice losesitsbeauty when one finds himselfcontinually disappointed by the act onthe other side of the door.
The performance last weekend wasgood, but the act was extremely am-ateurish in its lack of color, dialogueand polish. The union provides goodbands for dances, for considerablyless; one expects a concert in the fullsense of the word from the SocialCouncil performers.
Council Chairman Bill Traxler is" certainly correct in his statement thatthe council will be unable to pleaseall the peopleall the time; but at thesame time it is important to note thatit is his job to please most of thepeople,and most students arecurrent-ly dissatisfied.
We feel that most students wouldbe willing to cooperatewith whateveralternative social programs the coun-cil comes up with, but it seems clearthat some change is needed.

4Superdorms' Criticized;Religious Links Defended, the Editor:The report of the Com-
.mi on Social Patternsviously represents a care1. thoughtful study, andmains many good points,le commission recognizese failure of the college toovide proper housing, pro-
ier,eating arrangements andlequate social outlets, andejfailure in fostering se-
rfratism.However, the main em-lasis of the report seems
o be an attempt to rationsize the college's failure by
ondemning the fraternities.
Instead of thanking theaternities for providing the
ocial outlets which the col-ege has failed to provide,lis obviously biased com-
mission condemns them forot providing to all what the)llege has failed to provide
o any.
But how has the commision proposed to correct theailures of the college?(1) Recognizing the separ-tism created by fraterni-oses to reestablish a totaleparatism in housing, eat-ng, and partying throughheir Superdorm concept.
(2) Instead of providingtie viable alternative whichhe college has failed to pro-ide, the commission recom-
mends an underhanded des-ruction of the option thatnow exists for most of thetudents, in favor of requir
ed group eating, partying.and living based on selec-ion (Selection?) by an im-
personalized computer meth-od (This might be as effec-ive as computerized mixer
dates.)
TTiis Superdorm. conceptepresents not onlya destruc-ion of students' option, butlestruction of their individ-alism in an attempt to pro-ide greater control over atudent's activities and goals."Residence hall loyalties
But to imply as your edi-torial does, th.it our recogn-ition of the fact is the siimeas our using this principleas a basis for our recom-mendations is ,i gross mis-reading of f'le repoi ;.
4. There is no sn .g.stionanywhere in the ProgramSubcommittee's report, that"any act of service or good-will by students shows sup-port of the church."
We merely stated that thelocal churches and t heChrittlnn * organisations oncampus provide many ve-hicles through which acts ofservice may be accomplish-ed.
Use of these vehicles is notsynonymous to support ofthe organization which pro-vides them.
Nor is the subcommitteevain enough to assume thatservice could not be initiat-ed by these vehicles.
5. Your statement "ques-tionnaires are invalid unlesspercentages or numbers re-sponding are indicated," isquite (rue. Unfortunately, itdoes not apply to the re-search of our commission.
6. When the editorial final-ly gets around to acknow-ledging the good portions ofour report, it fails to men-tion our most importantand far-reaching recom-mendation: the re-shaping ofthe Board of Trustees.By implementing this
recommendation Davidsoncould take a giant step to-ward a future of continuedexcellence.
7. Finally, it must be men-tioned that the CommissionReports were not meant tobe placed against the ideal,but were meant to be usedas resource materials byDr.Spencer, so that he couldbetter know how to moveDavidson College into the fu-ture.

are more easily mobilizedthan are fraternity loyalties,because the source of exis-tence of the residence hallsis within the college."
Even this dangerous, at-tempi lit destroy individual-ism is denying options to stu-
dents and in setting goals ,for them is based on the va-gue idea of-"the purpose ofDavidson." and not on sub-stantive or even practicalarguments.
That the college will pro-vide a better social life thanfraternities do is not shown,
.only that -whatever the col-lege will provide will be pro-vided for all.
It must be noticed herethat this ominous desire tocontrol students' decisionsfor them is abasis of the con-clusions drawn by the com-mission in that student opin-ion on the subject was ignor-ed.
The students weren't evenpolled on how the; felt forthat would mean that stu-dents would be helping tomake a difficult policy de-cision that should be madeby faculty, administrationand trustees."

Church RelationsTo the Editor:
Twp weeks ago THE DA-VIDSONIAN printed an editorial concerning the SpencerCommission on Church Re-lationship. I offer the fol-lowing points in an effortto correct the inaccuraciesof the editorial.
1.Ido not feel that our re-port was apologetic (in thesense of expressing regretfor something in the past).
We explored the past inorder to understand the pre-sent. It is important that onedistinguish between this ex-ploration of the past andour recommendations forthe future.
Tiie editors obviously fail-ed to dci this. There seemedto be a prevalent feelingwithin the college commun-ity la^t year that there were"just too many damn minis-ters OB the Boanl."
In the Commission's at-tempt to discover whetherthe number of ministers hadanything to do with the de-cisions ol' the Board ofTrustees, the subcommitteeon church relations made anexhaustive search of theminutes of most of theTrustee meetings since thecollege's founding.
As could be expected, thestatement about ministersbeing detrimental to theBoard proved a classic ex-ample of rhetorical "over-kill."
In our case, the perspec-tive we gained from our ex-ploration of the past en-abled us to be very posi-tive about our explorationsfor the future. To quote thereport:
"Our report . . . is . . .designed to show what webelieve to be desirablemeans of conserving thevalues inherent in whole-some church - college
relations— values that willbe lost if the college separ-ates from the church-valuesthat will be jeopardized ifthe relationship is less thanwholesome."
We accepted the churchrelationship as a workinghypothesis only after length-y debate, as there were atleast two members of thecommission who felt thatDavidson should not con-tinue as a church-relatedschool.
3. Our argument ii\ the■ continuance of the churchrelationship did not rest onthe "concept of the church'sparenthood over the collegeand of the college's gratefulchild image.
"One cannot deny the factthat until recently. David-son, as well as most of the

There are luo kinds" of per-formers: artists and images.
Laura Nyro and GraceSlick belong to the first cate-gory, and Jagger and Morrison belong to the other, andin groups The Beatles an.dthe Who belong to Uie firstand The Mothers and the1910 Fruitgum Company tothe second: (I would havesaid Fugs, but can 1 say thatin a paper?)
Like it or not, all ol Rockis influenced by soul. Theperformer gets up and pro-jects himself, and at its best,he's projecting his own ma-terial.
Sometimes there is notmuch there to project, so hepulls down his pants in pub-lic and everybody says, OK.that's cool,he must be sexy,and so his music becomessexy.
Sometimes there is a lotthere. Grace Slick can en-tice you, enrage you. scareyou,.because she is sincere.Judy Collins can sing a songabout her father or her firstlove, and youknow the wayshe must have felt when theywere gone.
Aretha can give you atmany clues about bcinablack as Cleaver when sheIs at her best. (OK, I'm indangerous country.)
The performer in Rock isalmost as important as thematerial. Nilsson's songs areentirely different whensome-one else sings them. (Andwhat could the CCR do to"Hey, Jude"?)
To Evaluate Rock MusicBy A. D. TRICE
] sat down and wrote a lit-tle scholarly deal about thecriteria for evaluating rockmusic, but then Irealizedthat dead.prose is offensiveto Rock Music in particular,and generally to any artform, so Itore it up, decid
. ing to sit down again -andtry to express the reasons Ifeel Rock music is the mostimportant artistic experienceof the sixties.
Rock has three elements:lyrics, music, and perform-ance, and since Iconsiderthe lyrics the most importantelement,Isee Rock JMusic asa literary movement, revert-ing back to the Classical
■ idea of music and / po-etry being inseparable.
The music Is not as im-portant because very littlenew ground,except in instru-mentation, has been explor-ed.
Hendrix. for all his insan-ity, is playing music that ispre-Mozart in its structure.Spencer Dryden is about theonly Rock musician I canthink of who is making mu-sic that is late TwentiethCentury.
These are exceptions, Iknow, but Idare you to findme a tune that is not strictlydiatonic in the whole rangeof rock music. (OK, there's a
.^"0* or two, but not a farout raga.)
This is not meant to de-grade the music. It is to
k
mean that the music is there '
for support of the lyrics. Alot of the success or failureof a song depends on the fitof lyrics and words.
Does this imply that Bub-ble Gum Music is a success?
i Both the lyrics and musicare trite and silly.I
No, of course. I could(maybe) write a perfect nov-el that would be bad by anystandards except those ofform criticism. But I thinkthis means that "The Houseat Pooneil Corners" is bet-ter than "Crystal Blue Per-suasion."
Pooneil is a frighteningsang, both poetically (Some-one stood at a window &cried/ 'One tear I thoughtthat should stop the war/ butsomeone is killing me.) andthe music is loud, irregular,dissonant.
Talking about Pooneil leadsme to a digression: Aristotlegave us some criteria forjudging art; it's supposed toheighten emotions (specifi-cally fear and pity).
If it doesn't heighten thosetoo many people get upset.But he was talking abouttragic drama.
Why shouldn't Rock Poet-ry heighten love (or to becrude, heighten the sexualdrive)? Why shouldn't itmake us hate hatred? Whycant it make us laugh?Laughter and love seem tothreaten a great number ofpeople teday.
Well, the plain fact of it isthat rock music doesn't givea damn usually about pleas-ant little things that you caneasily forget about when therecord cuts off. It's art of in-volvement. It is much moreliteral about a purge, be-cause many 'of its artiststhink that people are prettyfull of something.It is revolutionary too.

And The VibesWere Good...
I hope there wore some serious suctotogi»t« in Washington lastweekend. They would have had one of the trippiesi field trips thata sociologist could have. Because the sub-cUlture had enierged Inone of the biggest gatherings since Hitler's mass meeting in the latethirties.
The police released a very conservative 'figure of 250.000, butit was closer to 500,000. 1Ironically, there was one demonstrator forevery GI in Vietnam.)
These peoplo were from all over the Eastern half of the country,not just New York or Washington.
And their culture was oozing. Their clothes, their ideas, theiraspirations, their humor, their sleeping habits, their children, every-thing except their houses— it was all there to be seen and recordedAnd, one of their ideals being r»t to record things, they didn't stay-anywhere long enough to be studied or counted or typed"or anything.
To estimate this crowd and their feelings, one had to go on in-tuition, or virbrations. And the vibes were good. ". .
Oh, wow, man. This is tha biggest congregation of people everanywhere except for D-Day and here we are right in the middle ofit. 250.000. Half a million.Ibet there's a million peoplehere and youcan just stand up and like I mean see 'em all. It's fantastic. It'sunbelievable. It's nothing less than the highest natural high I everhad. Oh wow.
You bet. Baby. And if that isn't enough, check those cats upthere on the dias: There's Dr. Benjamin Spock ("Welcome brothersin peace and my children all") and Dick Gregory ("Yeah, Spiro'sso dumb I wouldn't put it past him to make a crank call on thehot line' "). And there's Leonard Bernstein ("I represent that squareworld of Classical Music, so Iwon't talk too long. I just want to tellyou that I'm with you all") and Arlo Guthrie ("I was just thinkingthat my Dad would really dig to be here; hell, I'm thinking he ishere. One of you children out there, one of the three year olds. . .Maybe, maybe not").
And have you seen some of these signs. Some of them are reallygood. Dirty? God. Look at that one over there: PULL OUT, -DICK.Wow. I just went over to the Johnny-on-the-Spot and right there onthe wall some dude had written "P for Peace." Tough. And howabout the one we saw marching this morning, "Fighting for Peaceis like for Chastity." You feel sorry for people carrying things like"What if they gave a war and nobody came?" That was last year'ssign.
But I tell you, it's kind of a drag really. Imean, Idig to be here.I really do. But there's so much crap floating around. All these catsrunning around doing their own little thing. Now, don't get mewrong. I think it's really beautiful to do your own thing. That's notit. But we're all here for one big thing and that is Peace. So whensome fruity-wacko comes from the Gay Liberation League and givesme some of his trash, then I just get turned off bigger than any-thing.
Just look at this 'thing. The first paragraph says we ought toget out of the war. Fair enough. That's a groove. Right on. But thesecond paragraph is some crap about discrimination against homo-sexuals in the army. And the third paragraph tells everybody tobe homophyles. Imean man he's just jumping on a bandwagon.
And he's not the only one. Like Mrs. King. Now Mrs. King isa fine lady and Ican see how she is really dedicated to her husband'scause and all, but she is here about proverty and civil rights andthat't not the war. ft a
And then there's all these other cats runnin' round. The ThreeSister's Bridge people and the Black Panthers and the Craxies andthe Weatherman and all and man it's like the whole thing is fall-ing apart.
But there's one thing you can't forget. We're all here and we'reall grooving on this thing together, and we're all peaceful and it'sjust really good. Right on.
And that, pretty much, is how things were in Washington. It wasone hell of a demonstration, but exactly what it demonstrated is hardto determine. Most of the crowd was middleclass white under twenty-fives. There were few black or wrinkled faces. And although the maintheme was "Peace,'" there were a lot of people who were there forother causes..
The most memorable thing about that day was the mood thatprevailed. People were cooperating, drying to help each other, beingnice. We were wailing for a bus that morning way up MassachusettsAvenue \vhen a man stopped his car and asked us (we were five) ifWe were going to the march and would we like a lido! Arid nol onlydid Me stop, but another car pulled rxp at Ihe same timc-aiid a ladystuck her head out to ask if we needed any more room.
And the MOBE (The Student Mobilization Committee) had Ihcwhole thing running like a Rolex Oyster; (here were student marshallsall along the march route keeping things moving, encouraging thecold ones and the tired, and cooling the Crazies. And* those few whodid throw some Stuff, well, like the man said, the only problem thejpresented was separating bad manners from revolution
And I'll tell you a funny thing that happened liV me. being inMS HI'. I was a IKtle hesitant about having my picture laken. So when Isaw some straight-looking guy snapping shots of the crowd, Iwouldstart acting like Iwas cold and pull my collar Up-real high.
Well, there was one g[T> I remember who was silting up on atraffic light (Did you hear the one about the drunk who called hisfriend and asked him to meet him at the corner of Walk and Don'lWalk'.1 ). And .so the cat lip there had a beard and was wearing jeans andan army jacket, so Ididn't worry about it.

BloodIntakeDeclines
Davidson College's semiannual blood drive for theRed Cross November 10 andII yielded disappointing re-sults. Only 230 pints of bloodwere collected, as opposed toabout :)00 pints last year atthis time.
However, MajorRobert W.Garner of the ROTC Depart-ment protested. "The blooddrive didnot flop: we simplydid not get as much as wedid last year. That is cer-tainly not enough to call thedrive a failure."
Upon investigation of thereasons behind this drop.Captain Harry H. Blalock.also of the ROTC Depart-ment, remarked. "Certainly,one of the main reasons forthe drop would be the dropin ROTC enrollment amongFreshmen and sophomores."
According to Blalock, morethan 80r, of all .students whogave blood last week are tak-ing ROTC.

Nevertheless, it is wise tobe wary of the simplifica-tions made in moralizing:for while something signifi-cant has b e en captured,something vital has also es-caped. And so with "Do NotGo Gentle", there is some-thing vital which goes he-'Nyond Inge's moral.

Nevertheless, there are ad-vantages to Open House not
found in other programs. "Itenables students not takingany courses from a particu-lar professor to meet himand develop their common in-terests," said Holt.
Tile Open House program.operated under the auspicesof the Y.MCA. offers studentsthe opportunity to meet andcome to know members ofthe faculty and administra-tion on a personal basis.said senior lion Hoyt. thisyear's Open House coordina-tor.
"Chief among the advan-tages that the program givesstudents is a knowledge oftheir professors as men,rather than mere fact dis-pensers." claims Hoyt. Hebelieves-that by understanding that the faculty and administration is composed ofindividuals, each witli a setof personal convictions, stu-dents will enrich their yearsat Davidson.
So far this year therehavebeen twenty-six Open Hous-es, with attendance varyingfrom none to a dozen. Thiselement of uncertainty isgenerally conceded to be themos.t unsatisfactory part ofthe program, for it is discon-certing to both professor and

Earlier in the week the executlve board of the Univer-sity Party voted to censureBeard for abusing his poweras a committee chairman,but they asserted that thecharges should be droppedbecause Beard was not guil-ty of any legal violations.

Wildcats failed in thuir at-tempt to capture the South-ern Conference soccer cham-pionship by falling .i 0 toGeorge Washington.
About the defeat MastSaturday which completedthe 1969 campaign with a4-6-1 overall record,Coach Fogleman remarked,"George Washington hand-led the ball better than any-one - we've faced all year.The strength of their teamcan be attested by notingthat there was only oneAmerican boy on the wholesquad."
The Wildcats earned thebirth in th echampionshipgame with Colonials by de-feating The Citadel twoweeks ago.
In looking over the entireseason Fogleman was amaz-ed that the Wildcats produc-ed a losing season with sucha good team. He stated thatthe record was misleadingbecause four games werelost by only one goal."I think we would have
done much better if we hadone more big offensive play-er to back up SteveCulbert-son. And, of course, we lostClirf Patterson again for thelast five games which wasdefinitely a big blow for us.

Another difficulty in ob-taining good concert groups,according to College UnionDirector C.^ Shaw Srruth. isthat concerts are relegatedto weekends because that isthe only time girls comehere.
*Thcre are much better bar-gains during the week.Smith added, concluding thatif the campus goes coed thisproblem will lessen. But heemphasized that weekdayconcerts will have to be co-ordinated with the college'sacademic schedule.
To overcome these ob-stacles and still present Ianand Sylvia. Guess Who? andThe Chicago Transit Author-ity which is coming thisSpring Davidson must lit-ii.ilk beg and bargain andlook lor groups jusl nn theway up.

According to Bill Traxler.the colleges in this areaassist one another in bookingconcert groups when theycome to one of the area col-leges on tour. Davidson, beadded, has received inesti-mable help in this way from
the school."
Traxler conceded thatthere had been some grumb-ling recently about t hequality of rock groupsscheduled by the SocialCouncil. Some students hesaid, want to know whyDavidson cannot book artistslike Jose Feliciano or Blood.Sweat, and Tears.
These groups, said Trax-ler, charge about $15,000 perconcert, a price far beyondthe capacity of the SocialCouncil to pay.
In the groups it does book.Traxler said, the Counciltries to strike a balance be-tween "soul" and "hardrock." The students' ownpreference.' he stressed,are most influential, and allsuggestions are readily ac-cepted.

The Conference also pub-lishes a newsletter in whichschools rate artists in suchareas as audience response.Traxler went on to mentionthat the Conference annual-ly showcases new talent.
Last year the showcase in-cluded "Blood, Sweat, andTears," "The Guess Who,"and the New York Rock andRoll Knsemble.

"The mass march began at11 a.m.. but the crowd wasso large that it seemed totaJu' forever to get under-way.

Krom the Ellipse the mar-chers would proceed acrossConstitution Avenue to theWashington .Monument.
The vast si/.e o\ the crowdestimated at anywhere froma quarter to half a million -made it impossible for morethan one section of the mar-chers to follow the scheduledroute, especially since theparade permit granted bythe .Justice Department was

Adding about 400 enrollments to the course load inthe third term is going tomake it difficult to free cer-tain faculty members forwork in the proposed honorscollege.

Further, our experiencewith area exams shouldmake us aware of the realdifficulties in any innovation for a new program tobe successful, it must beclearly understood by every-one who is to be involved.
As the program is developed. there needs to be a con-scious effort to create sup-port for it. Bothstudents andfaculty must be persuadedthat the effort required isworthwhile or failure will a-gain result.
Area exams were destroy-ed by an absence W clearpurpose and by a lack ofsupport from those involved.Eventually. as pressuresbuilt up, this luck of supportturned to hostility.It seemed best to make a
