  • 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 there is only one secur-i.y officer on duty each eight

    "They know what they wereafter. They bioke in the windownearest it. There must havebeen two of them because it wass heavy. They curried it up thesii-ps and right out the frontdoor."

    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 Rlackwood, anexchange student from Hollins.freely admits that she advisesprospective exchange studentsto forget about Davidson unlessKometh'ng is done about secur-ity on campus.

    Many male students forget theincreased seen ity necessarywhen a large number of girlsbecome Davidson students andtherefore are not always escort-ed when on the campus.

    Another factor adding to theseriousness of the problem itthe growth of Charlotte as ametropolitan area. It has beenpredicted that Charlotte willex-pand rapidly to the north as 1-77is opened.

    Consequently, there will bemany more people in the Davidson area than al present,many i»f them different fromthe populace in the area in thepast. With the open" nature ofthe Davidson campus this meansincreased security problems.

    A third factor to be consider«*d is the general lack of securily on the campus in the pastThe college and the studentshave chi

    Well, as Isit before my fine-honed instrument of destruc-tion, a tank of a Remington,courtesy of the Carolina InnGang,Iponder what to do withmy new-found positionof pow-er. I've never been in a positionof power before. Experience, vi-carious though it may be, tellsme that Ishould consider howor whether -or -not to offendwhom, but perhaps I shouldleave that to the veterans.(Should a journalist use a "per-sona" for safety's sake?)

    Icould begin a series of con-fessions. "Confessions of a Cat-Keeper: Stunning Exposes ofFlagrantDisregard for the Foundations of Order in the Continuing College Community!" "Viewfrom the Widow's Walk: An In-side Look at the Lives andLoves of the Elite Corps of Hon-ors College Subversives— Frank,Raw, Brutal!"

    Of all these indiscretions orvariations thereof. Iam guilty.But do these matters capturethe public's (that's you) imagi-nation? More important, willthey fill up an eighty line (fifty-five space) column as per or-dered?Icould stay within the bounds

    of my forte and keep Davidsonabreast of all the most recentliterary events. Faulkner died.

    On the other hand, Icouldferret out scoops about currentevents around the campus po-litical circles. An unnamed butcompletely reliable source hasexposed a plot to overthrow thePeebles administration. Theband of fierce guerrillas (guer-rilae?) will be led by a famedrevolutionary and military lead-er known only as "The Eel."

    The purposes of the coup, thesource said, were to reinstatethe old values of ... well, toreinstate the old. Anyway, itwill be back to rhythm for theDavidson student. When askedto comment on the possiblechanges in sight, the popularoff-campus senator, the Honorable William Rowland, said"Prepare ye the way of theLord!"

    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.

    Sharing Of PowerProtest after protest continue to mount against the

    comprehensive fee. In addition to the Student life Com-mittee's memo to the president last week, two more pro-tests arrived on the 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 bestspace on the editorial page farseveral inches of biased, polit-

    date, another first at DavidsonThe Open End was another

    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 the candi-dates. If this falls, a sergeant-at-arms might be more appro-priate.

    No. former con-editor, it wasnot a clean election for SGApresident, not to mention theCookc County senatorial racefor rising juniors.It was not allroses, but a sick rose, full orinvisible worms.

    Maybe the Davidson gentle-man is now a myth at thiscampus, hut the conduct of aminority of students during thepast three weeks would havebeen offensive to anyone under30 as well as any child over ten.

    something being ripped fromthe wall, so he ran through thedoor to see, not a freshman,but lo and behold, a hall coun-selor walking away with aposter in hit hands.

    An argument ensued withboth of the hall counselors onsecond Watts, and the follow-ing morning one of their nameswas reported to the office ofthe dean of students. Will Terrycalled in this person, a juniorat Davidson College, and repri-manded him for such childishconduct. No other punishmentwas issued.

    So it goes. Take another ex-ample.Alexander supporters de-scended on Chambers also Sun-day night putting up 20 thinblack posters ir. odd placesthroughout the building. Therewere four left the next mom-ing. The custodian departmentreported that they had beenforced to take down five of themfor maintenance reasons. Yetthe other 11 posters were torndown, and the rest were goneby that evening.

    There were other lamentableincidents. The retiring SGA pre-sident, who thinks he is "goingplaces," also broke precedentto endorse publicly his candi-

    Finally, after three weeks oleight-track grins, computerizedballoting, paper posters, an au-tumnfull of fliers under yourdoor, and an Unopened End,the elections are over, an leastuntil next year.

    As far as my own campaignuas concerned,Ihave no com-plaints whatsoever. Perhapsmore than anyone my opponentis to be thanked for his admir-able conduct during the entirecampaign. My feelings aboutsome of the other elections,however, are not so satisfactory.During that first week Iwit-nessed some of the most child-ish and disgusting behavior bystudents since the naughty daysof high school.

    The week of the laurels, oneof our former con-editors de-clared that everyone was to becommended for such a cleancampaign. He may have beenmoved to make this statementix-cjiu.se of the outcome, yetevenwith this slight prejudice,his re-mark struck me as an abjectHe. Fortunately the electionsgot rid of him too.

    To be specific, Iturn my at-tention to the election for SGApresident. Two candidates, dia-metrically opposed, each back-ed by his own ideological con-stituency, sought the office. ByTuesday morning the campuswas polarized by propaganda,and armed with cliches and delusions of moral supremacy, thestudent body turned out in fullwool to vote.

    Tuesday evening two lettersto the newspaper arrived in theoffice of THE DAV1DSONIAN.They were obvious endorse-ments for Alexander,but therewas nothing profaneor libellousabout their content, which meetsthe only criteria of the newspa-per for accepting a letter.

    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 Limited Drinking for Union

    The reasons for this enviousachievement,according to fresh-man coach Duncan Postma, aremany.

    Challenging them for the sec-ond spot will be SAE's, whoseAlcCloud and Mitchener areequally as fast and more ex-perienced than the Delts.

    Scrambling for the last play-olf spot are the Mavericks, an-other independtnt team, andEmanon.

    The former is led by BernardScoggins who, when he is right.is one of the best players in theleague. Russ Merritt complements Scoggins' strength withhis scrambling style and makesthem a solid playoff contender.

    Emanon's athletic sophomores,led by Larry Ruddell, shouldmake it close, but will probab-ly finish a strong fifth.

    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 compctiWon."

    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

    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.
