Dr. James Robinson, Negro Church Leader, Will Speak at Vespers Dr. James H. Robinson will speak at the Vesper Service on Sunday evening, April 25. He has a national reputation as a popu- lar speaker in civic and education- al gatherings. Dr. Robinson was born in Knox- ville, Tennessee, and graduated from Lincoln University, Pennsyl- vania, at the head of his class in 1935. He was president of the class of 1938 at Union Theological Seminary, Nfw York City, from which he received his B.D. degree. After being ordained into the ministry, he founded the Church of the Master and the Morningside Community Center in Harlem. He started with a nucleus of- fewer than fifty Negro Christians, and gradually he has built up the insti- tution, until it now provides re- ligious guidance and practical as- sistance to 2,000 people. Their pro- gram includes two interracial camps, a psychiatric clinic, a nursery, a recreation center, a credit union, and a co-op store. In 1951 the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions sent Dr. Robinson on a special six-month mission to students in Europe, the Near East and Asia. He made this trip in order to encourage ecumenical thinking and action among Christians at home and abroad. Dr. Robinson is noted as a con- sultant on racial problems. He spends a part of each year on American campuses giving religious emphasis programs. He has received numerous awards and citations from commu- nity service organizations, and the honorary degree of Doctor of Hu- mane Letters from Lincoln Univer- sity and from the New School of Social Research, New York. He has also received the degree of Doctor of Divinity from Wooster College, Wooster, Ohio. In 1950 Dr. Robinson's autobiog- raphy, entitled Road Without Turn- inf, was published. AFTER-VESPERS DISCUSSION "America's Race Problem in In- ternational Affairs ' will be the subject of an after-vesper discus- sion this Sunday night led by the vesper speaker in the student lounge of the church. Those who know Dr. Robinson have often noted that he is even more powerful and instructive in a small discussion group than in the pulpit. All students are urged to take advantage of this rare opportunity to meet and talk informally with Dr. Robinson after vespers. Coffee will be served. New members include T. K. Andrae, Orangeburg, S. C; G. O. Averyt, Columbia, S. C; J. S. Bux- ton, Sumter, S. C; J. L. Green, El Paso, Texas; J. F. Archer, Mooresville; and F. D. Benton, Nor- Una. Also, L. W. Bostian, Valrico, Florida; R. T.

Members of the college ROTC Department selected to be asso- ciate members are Captain L. R. Brown and Captain H. H. Lamar. WILL GIVE CONCERT TOMORROW AT 2 P. M. Spring Frolics get under way tonight as Ray Anthony takes the bandstand in Johnston Gymnasium for the formal dance, which will last until one o'clock. I Anthony will take his nationally popular band outdoors tomorrow afternoon for a two-hour concert between Phi and Shearer halls. Concert time is 2:00. In the event of rain. Anthony will move into Chambers Auditorium. The final event of the weekend will be the informal dance in Johnston Gym, beginning at eight and lasting until midnight. The Interfraternity Council be- gan decorating the gym Wednes- day night in preparation for the return of the popularMr. Anthony, who was an overwhelming success in his first appearance at David- son at last year's Spring Frolics. Anthony, who received the un- qualified stamp of approval from last year's spring dance crowd with his renditions of "When the Saints Go Marching In," "Slaughter on Tenth Avenue," and the "Bun- ny Hop," should be able to do a repeat performance this weekend with no trouble. Still one of the top dance bands in America, An- thony has continually broadened and expanded his repertoire to in- clude many more instrumental^, as well as good danceable music. Featured vocalists in Anthony's band are Marcie Miller and Tommy Mercer, with the Skylinen and the Anthony Choir also getting a high rating in this department. Anthony, billed as the "Young Man with a Horn," is one leader who believesin strict discipline for his bandsmen, musically and other- wise, while they are on the job. Like the late Glenn Miller, who gave him his first important job in 1940 when he was only 18, Ray is of the opinion that a band must do more than just play music if it is to achieve top success. Because the unprecedented high overhead of today makes the band business big and precarious, maes- tro Anthony rehearses his musicians hard and forbids such commonplace occupational prac- tices as drinking and smoking on the stand, "because when you're working you've got to work." Surprisingly, the resultant music is more spirited than in many less formally managed bands; less sur- prisingly, the ensemble work of the Anthony band is crisper and more precise than the concerted efforts of musicians whose leaders believe that nature should be al- lowed to take its course. Even the appearance of the An- thony aggregation reflects the dis- cipline set forth by its leader. A Hollywood radio announcer once called it "the best-dressed band in the land."

Both attendance at most programs and the audience participation at many were the healthy results of a well-planned festival by Mr. Moore and the Fine Arts Com- mittee. On Monday, April 26, Louise Nel- son Pfohl, a member of the faculty of the Davidson College Music De- partment will be presented in a concert in Chambers Auditorium at 8:15 p.m. by the Gamma Kappa Chapter of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, national honorary music fraternity. Mrs. Pfohl will play a Haydn "Sonata in D Major," the Brahms' "Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Handle, Op. 24," a group of Chopin "Etudes," and the "Noc- turne in F-sharp Major, Op. 15, No. 2." Included on the program will be compositions of Rachmanin- off, and contemporary numbers by Vittorie Giaunini and Paul Hinde- mith. Le Cercle Francais Holds Tuesday Meet Le Cercle Franeais, the honorary fraternity for students especially interested in French, held its monthly meeting on Tuesday, April 13. The meeting was opened by the roll call and reading of the pre- vious meeting's minutes. Norman Johnson, president of the frater- nity, then presided over the dis- cussion of business, the main item of interest being a proposed din- ner at Chez Montet in Charlotte. A committee was appointed to look into the matter and to pick a date which would be convenient for most members. There was a possibility that the dinner would be the concluding meeting of the school year. The program began with read- ings of French poetry by members of the French 32 class. Students taking part in the readings were Bill Kuykendall, Joe Gaskin, Earl Lewis, Jaek Crymes, John Harmon, and Fred Myers. Bob Crutcbiield then gave an interesting account of his trip to Europe in the summer of 1963. His talk was complemented with some beautiful slides in full color which be took while in Europe. The meeting was concluded by various French songs, refresh- ments prepared by Mrs. Watts and Mrs. Goldiere, and informal con- versation among the members. A charming and gracious artist, Louise Nelson Pfohl has appeared in concerts with the Michigan Symphony, the Charlotte Sym- phony, Transylvania Faculty Or- chestra and Concert Band, David- son College Concert Band, and has appeared in numerous solo and en- semble programs throughout the South. Louise Nelson Pfohl is the wife of James Christian Pfohl, con- ductor of the Charlotte and Jack- sonville Symphony Orchestras. On Tuesday night, April 27, Mr. Harry Davis will present an in- formal lecture on Contemporary Drama in the College Union Ball- room at 8:15 p.m. Mr. Davis is pro- fessor of Dramatic Art at the Uni- versity of North Carolina and is the Associate director of the "Playmakers." The brilliant directing which he has applied in producing "Unto These Hills" has established him as "America's outstanding director in the field of outdoor drama.

Henry Brockmann, vice presi- dent, led the group in a short de- votional, after which President Charlie Hasty presided over the business session. Mention was made of the coming function with Phi Society and of the Eumanean diplomas to be awarded to grad- uating members in good standing. Tommy Thompson was welcomed as a new member by the society. President Hasty announced that officers for the fall semester will be elected at the meeting of May 3, and expressed his hopes for a sizeable attendance that night. Martin Foil and Henry Brock- mann were elected marshals to represent the society in the ap- proaching commencement activi- ties. The program for the evening consisted of the presentation of papers by two of the recent initiates, John Hiers and Bill Mar- tin. Hier's discourse concerned some of the traditional grievances of theDavidson student, while Mar- tin offered a short short-story, Seaburg's Politics. Zack Kilpatrick rounded out a stimulating evening with an im- promptu presentation of one of his most recent achievements in the realm of biological sciences. Green, Gray Take Top Annual Awards Johnny Gray and Leighton Green captured the highest honors at the annual Awards Day ceremony in chapel Tuesday morning. A number of other students also were recog- nized for outstanding work in scholarship, athletics, and religion. Gray was presented the Tommy Peters Memorial Award by Prof. H. E. Fulcher for best typifying the spirit of Davidson. Tommy Peters, during his brief pre- World War II college career, was recog- nized as one of the outstanding athletes and campus leaders in Davidson history. He was killed during the war, and the award was established to recognize the spirit which he exemplified. President Cunningham presented the Agnes Sentelle Brown Scholar- ship to Leighton Green for show- ing outstanding promise in leader- ship, scholarship, and character. Green, president-elect of the YMCA, was also one of two juniors admitted to Phi Beta Kappa. A $400 economics scholarship, based on character, scholarship, and leadership, was awarded Cor- tez Cooper by Prof. A. G. Griffin. Outstanding in the field of science were sophomore Brown Goehring and freshman Jerry Pie- tenpol. Goehring received the David Howard Chemistry Award, valuing $250, for superior work in that department, from Dr. John Calient The Physics Award for the outstanding freshman went to Pietenpol. Prof. G. W. Crawford made the latter presentation. Dr. Chalmers Davidson presented to Henry Brockmann, new editor (Continued on Page Pour) Controversial Section Of Proposed Changes Amended this Week A substitute amendment has been presented to the Student Council by more than fifty signers of the original amendmentsto the Student Body Constitution. The amendment, which is to be inserted in place of Amendment I of the petition of April 9th, reads as follows: "In all matters arising under the Honor System or the Stu- dent Body Regulations, the Student Government shall have complete jurisdiction to try all cases. It shall be illegal for the Student Government to re- fer any such matter to any other authority." It was discovered in after-vesper discussions by the proponents of the amendments that some changes were needed in Amendment I. The substitute amendment more dear- ly brings out the fact that it is not in contradiction to the by-laws of the trustees, and also makes dear that appeal to the faculty is not denied. The controversial amendment formerly read as follows: "In all matters arising un- der the Honor System or the Student Body Regulations, the Student Government shall have final and complete jurisdic- tion. It shall be illegal for the Student Government to refer any such matter to any other authority. If the actions of the Student Government in any such matters should be re- versed by any other authority, it shall be mandatory for the (Continued en P«g« Four) SCABBARD AND BLADE TAPS TWENTY ONE DURING PARADE TUESDAY AFTERNOON Davidson's company of Scabbard and Blade, national honorary mili- tary fraternity, announced this week selection of twenty-one new members. Nineteen juniors and two mem- bers of the cadre were officially tapped in exercises held during Tuesday's parade. Cadet Buddy Lamon, captain of the local company, directed pro- ceedings in the presence of the assembled regiment. The entire parade was given in honor of Scabbard and Blade. Selection of Scabbard and Blade members is based on the cadet's military leadership and overall scholastic average. Formal initiation will be held in the Quadrangle Room of Chambers Building next Tuesday night. Fol- lowing initiation ceremonies next semester's officers will be selected. RAY ANTHONY . .. Live a little Taylor, Baker Head Two Upper Classes By BILL STIWART Balloting today in chapel for all three classes' officers resulted in several positions being decided, while two will have to be run off Monday. The rising senior class elected Tommy Taylor, a Beta from Jacksonville, Fla., as secretary. Charlie Cousar and Corky King will run off the presidential race Monday. Lacy Keesfer, from Char- lotte, was named vice president earlier in the week. He is a Kappa Sig. The rising juniors electedLinny Baker as president, Phil Koonce, vice president, and Jeff Smith, sec- retary-treasurer. Baker, who was secretary-treasurer of the student body last year, is from Kannapolis. N.C. Koonce is from Tarboro, and both are members of Alpha Tau Omega social fraternity. Smith is from Winston-Salem. The president of next year's sophomore class was not decided in today's balloting; voters will choose either Carl Cooper or Tom Newton in Monday's elections. Ver- non Hunter was chosen vice presi- dent, and Gordon Bondurant de- feated Jim Kuist for the secretary- treasurer job. Candidates for the editorship of the magazine will speak in chapel Monday, and voting for the re- maining class officers and for freshman advisor, for whom nomi- nations were made today, is slated to start the week's elections. m Ten New Members Named To Phi Beta Kappa Tuesday U^** a-g*^_Bf fcBB»^^^^^^^^^^^^^^» »» B BVB^B^B^B^BB^B^^B^B^B^Bfr * ' Bh^B^^I^BB^^fBj^^^B^H^^nV^^V'BBB^B^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^M^^^^^^BH^^^BBM^^^^^^^^^^^^BBBm^^^^^^^BB^BBB^^B^^HBBBfcBd^BBBHB^^^^B^^^^ " m^F' < *^^jBj Hfe^Bk bRbssssssssbV vbMb^ 4Ra *^bRv^bT * m^r^ _fl _L^^^_RHfl Ifci H-L- _H_H^B_Hv _«f _L^_k. _La. _La_^lh -isssW. _(_■ -fl^-h^ _l_fe>*r I \M Vl B<AJ^I^^ l#w> IrV1-r^ WwM A Mk m Imb* A Omi BARGERON LEICHTON GRERN LARRY CHAMPION MICKY EFIRD JIMMY JACKSON WILLIE JOHNSTON BUDDY LAMON PAUL PINCKNEY HUNTER STRADIR ID STUART IRENE JORDAN Irene Jordan to Sing In Concert Next Week Irene Jordan, brilliant young American soprano, hailed by con- ductors and critics alike aa an artist in the great classic tradition, will sing in Chambers Auditorium, Davidson College, on Friday eve- ning, April 30, at 8:15 p.m., in the last concert of the 1953-54 David- son College Artist Series. Prom the time she began study- ing music at the age of 3Vi until her Metropolitan Opera debut in 1M6, she has aimed for learning rather than limelight. Born in Birmingham, Alabama, Irene Jor- dan was one of ten children in a completely musical family. "My father was a music teacher and my mother a violinist," she says. "All the children played instru- ments. We were practically an or- chestra just in ourselves. I was the pianist." During the two seasons following her Metropolitan Opera debut. Miss Jordan sang regularly over the NBC radio network. In 1*47 the singer had a successful season with the Opera Nacional in Mexi- co City. She retired temporarily from public concerts in order to develop her superb upper range, and toil year she..emerged aa a new operatic and concert star. Aa of this a— son Miss Jordan is singing as a soprano, rather than a mezzo-soprano. Kirsten Flagstad made this same change in the midst of her career and both critics and audience, upon hearing Miss Jor- dan's new voice, feelthat she might very well equal, if not surpass, the great Flagstad's success. Highlights of Irene Jordan's concert in Davidson will be "Man ia for the Woman Made" arranged by Benjamin Britten, "Have You Seen But a Whyte Lillie Grow," a group of German lieder by Richard Strauss and Wolf, "In the Silence of Night" by Rachmaninoff, and arias from "Ernani" by Verdi and from "The Abduction from the Seraglio" by Mozart.

Controversial SectionOfProposed ChangesAmended this Week

A substitute amendmenthasbeenpresented to the Student Councilby more than fifty signers of theoriginal amendmentsto the StudentBody Constitution.The amendment,which is to be inserted in placeof Amendment Iof the petitionof April 9th, reads as follows:

"In allmatters arising underthe Honor System or the Stu-dent Body Regulations, theStudent Government shallhavecomplete jurisdiction to tryall cases. It shall be illegal forthe Student Government tore-fer any such matter to anyother authority."It was discovered inafter-vesper

discussions by the proponents ofthe amendmentsthat some changeswere needed in AmendmentI.Thesubstitute amendment more dear-ly brings out the fact that it is notin contradiction to the by-laws ofthe trustees, and also makes dearthat appeal to the faculty is notdenied.

The controversial amendmentformerly read as follows:

Irene Jordan to SingInConcertNext Week

Irene Jordan, brilliant youngAmerican soprano, hailed by con-ductors and critics alike aa anartist in thegreat classic tradition,willsing inChambers Auditorium,Davidson College, on Friday eve-ning, April 30, at 8:15 p.m., in thelast concert of the 1953-54 David-son College Artist Series.

Prom the time she began study-ing music at the age of 3Vi untilher Metropolitan Opera debut in1M6, she has aimed for learningrather than limelight. Born inBirmingham, Alabama, Irene Jor-dan was one of ten children in acompletely musical family. "Myfather was a music teacher andmy mother a violinist," she says."All the children played instru-ments. We were practically an or-chestra just in ourselves.Iwasthe pianist."

During the twoseasons followingher Metropolitan Opera debut.Miss Jordan sang regularly overthe NBC radio network. In 1*47the singer had a successful seasonwith the Opera Nacional in Mexi-co City. She retired temporarilyfrom public concerts in order todevelop her superb upper range,and toil year she..emerged aa anew operatic and concert star.

Aa of this a— son Miss Jordan issinging as a soprano, rather thana mezzo-soprano. Kirsten Flagstadmade this same change in the midstof her career and bothcritics andaudience, upon hearing Miss Jor-dan'snew voice, feelthatshe mightvery well equal, if not surpass,the great Flagstad's success.

Highlights of Irene Jordan'sconcert in Davidson will be "Mania for the Woman Made" arrangedby Benjamin Britten, "Have YouSeen But a Whyte Lillie Grow," agroup of Germanliederby RichardStrauss and Wolf, "In the Silenceof Night" by Rachmaninoff, andarias from "Ernani" by Verdi andfrom "The Abduction from theSeraglio" by Mozart.

By BILL.McKILWAY, MAHY, MITCHELL

It to evident to these writersthatthereare vast problemsnow facingthe student body, which we willshortly prove. These things are ofmomentous import, as some naveso ably pointed out. This may wellbe!

Fewstudents or faculty men willdeny that there toa growing aware-ness of the need for a stronger,more definite, and more workableinterpretation of the problem.There are some who seem to thinkthis to definitely the case. Otherstake a more moderate stand onthis knotty issue. As one Mr. J.Collegeput it, "Ithink it's time wefaced the facto, procrastinationwill get us nowhere."

Williams Defends Legality OfNew Constitutional Amendments

With unexpected regret and under-standable relief the retiring editor turnsover the duties, headaches, worries andsatisfactions of the office to his successor.

We will not pat ourselves on the backas we walk out the door, mouthing vaguegeneralities about what a good year wehave had. We honestly feel we have insev-eralinstances done a jobof which we couldbeproud,but on the other hand there havebeen some moments best forgotten.

Elected on the platform of reflectingstudent opinion, we have since come towonder whether that is the highest callingof the student newspaper, though we stillfeel it is important More vital, however,is the responsibility of molding informedstudent opinion on the more fundamentalissues of college education, and how it ispreparingus for a world such as this.

The weekly college newspaper is apretty good barometer of student attitudesand a reasonably good indication abouthow much and what kind of thinking isgoing on among students. Of course, itshould not merely be satisfied with thepassive role of barometer for the studentbody.It shouldbe anactive and stimulatingforce presenting new ideas, rather than abroken phonograph, repeating for itsreaders what they are already thinking andwhat they like to hear.

Our feeling is that too often we havemerely catered to the student body insteadof informing them.

But together with certain recriminations-about our failures goes a deep satisfactionthat workingwith the Pavldsoniaw has pro-vided. This publication has an importantplace on the campus with a world of op-portunity for intelligent student self-ex-

preaskm; it is really an education in itself.On* of the many rewarding and heart-

ening things about editing the Deolwsanlanthis year has been the enthusiastic, self-sacrificing attitude of an entire staff whowere really interested in improving thequality and efficiency of the paper. In thisrespect there has scarcely been a weaklink.Henry Brockmann, Floyd Feeney,andJohn Handley functioned like old pros asmanaging editors and sports editor respec-tively.The same goes for Blake Brinkerhoffwho handled assignments. Austin Strandwas "Johnny on the Spot" as news editor.Dick Little did a splendid jobascirculationmanager, both ingettingpapers distributedon the campus and mailing them out tonearly 500 outside subscribers and adver-tisers.

of these two established facts, noteither of them singly, that to heldto incriminate Dr. Oppenheimer.Had either of them been true andthe other false, there would havebeenno realgrounds toever doubtthe renowned scientist's loyalty.What the baste job of the three-man Personnel Review Board,headed by U.N.C.'s president Got-don Gray, amounts to in the finalanalysis to to determine if thereto any real connection between)Oppenheimer's former sympathiesand his opposition to going aheadon the construction of the hydro-gen bomb.

This, of course, to the point atwhich the fundamental issue statedat the beginning of this article toconcerned. For we should realisethat there were hundreds, prob-ably thousands of Americana whoback in the desperate days of thenineteen thirties and even in theearly fortieswho had some degreeof sympathy with the Communists.These were the times, remember,when fascism— the archenemy ofCommunism

—was running amuck

in Europe, and when the Depres-sion waacausing extremehardshipto people throughout the world.Communism, at that time, seemedto many as a possible way out ofthe chaos and misery which wasthe order of the day. Communism

on the other hand did net seemto be the weaponofan expanding,aggressive, imperialistic nationthat it -to today. And we cannotafford to miss this point whenjudging former Communists in thelight of modern times.

Another point that we shouldrealize to that the persons whowere attracted to Communism inthe dark days of the thirties andearly forties were as a rate of themore intelligent. intellectualclasses. And it to inevitable thatmany of these same persons, whowere in their twentiesand thirtiesduring the era in question andarenow in their forties and fifties,are men who have the experienceand intelligence in such fields asscience, history, political science,economics, et al, to be of greatvalue to the Government

Amendments I, IV, and V aredesigned to give the Student Gov-ernment the teeth which it so sadlylacks now, and to make explicitwhat has long been vague and in-definite.The first one (note changeon page 2) makes the Student Gov-ernment have more guts. It makesdear that the Student Governmentmust be the group to decide onstudentaffairs withoutpassing theback to the Faculty. The right ofappeal is not denied any student;but the amendment points out thestudent leaders' obligations to thestudent body.

The fourth amendment, dealingwith the signed statement, is notittftgrw1 to place anything newunder the Honor System; quite thecontrary, it simply makes clearto aa incoming student that he isbecoming a part of the StudentGovernment. He agrees to placehimself under our Constitution,understanding what our raws are,and the i<msfW|iinnc<ii for break-Ing them.

The current security case in-volving atomic scientistDr. RobertOppenheimer has already ceased tobe headline news in the daily pa-pers, largely because there havebeenno new facts or developmentssince the appointment of a specialthree-manboardto review the factsand announce its decision, whichis due about a week from .iow.

But if the Oppenheimer case isnot occupying as much newspaperspace as it did last week, the cen-tral issue in the case is just as im-portant now as it was when thenews of the story broke. For theOppenheimer case involves morethan the innocence or guilt of oneman. The overriding issue here isthe question: Should a person'sformer political beliefs and asso-ciations be held to forever dis-qualify himself from public serv-ice?

The argument which will imme-diately be made upon the posingof this question is that in the Op-penheimer case it is not yet cer-tain that he has definitely re-pudiated his established formerpolitical sympathies and associa-tions, i.e., his sympathy with manyCommunist causes and associationwith known Communists in thenineteen thirties and early forties.

The seniors,of all students, seem to bethose most interested in the progress, orlack of progress on the amending of theConstitution. Some have just stood in aweat this phenomenon. Others have accusedthe sages of the student body of being lastminute glory seekers. Be this right orwrong, there seems to be little but praisefor men who spark for action during theirlast weeks in Davidson while the rest ofthe student body, the people who will beaffected by any change, sits idly by halfasleep, wholly unconcerned.

There are those who will consider theforegoing unfair to the Davidson students.Coffee time often finds conversation aboutthe proposed amendments. But conversa-tion is all. An introspective glance by thestudent would likely reveal tohim that heis a parrot at heart, soaking in witty say-ingsbyothers inorder to repeat them him-self, but leaving action buried beneath hiswords.

TBI DAVIDSONIAN FRIDAY, APRIL 23, 1934_. TVUYs?\

The "fight" over the proposed amend-ments has butadded tacit assent to the un-challenged conclusion that the Davidsonstudent is ever apthetic about anythingbeyond six hours sleep and three mealsdaily.

For two weeks now a sprinkling of stu-dent!have kept their ears and lips openinan effort to hear any comment about theamendments they oppose or propose andto press their case. In an effort to keepthings going they have made the calm dis-cussions of the amendments seem veritablewars of words. Those in favor of the pro-posals have warned over and over againthat something must be done this year be-fore the whole thing dies down.

By RANDY JOHNSTONThe Davidson vanity track team

will take a trip to Columbia, SC,tomorrow for a three-day meetwith the Gamecocks of the Uni-versity of South Carolina and theCitadel Bulldogs. The Davidsonteam has shown much improve-ment aa the season has progressedand willcarry an experiencedanilstrong team on the trip.

Inprevious meets, the only weakspots have been in the fieldevents.However, these have been muchimproved since the opening meet.

Carrying the brunt of the attackin the track and field events thisseason are: Captain Bill Shipley;the versatile sophomore, PhilKoonce; Homer Sparks; FloydFeeney; Frank Mitchener; Tim Gil-ley; Harry Peterson; and HarlcySmith.

Cl.mson WinsIn a three-way meet last Satur-

day, with Clemson and Woffordfurnishing the opposition,the Wild-cat cindermen finished second.Clemson edged past the Cats by aslim, 77-75 margin, while Woffordonly got 11 points to finish third.

Coach Whittle was pleased withthe showing of the team. Davidsontook seven out of fifteen firstplaces. Phil Koonce was the biggun for the Red and Black. Kooncewalked off with three first placesand was one of the runners in thewinning mile relay team. The firstplaces came in the 100yd. dash,the 220 yd. dash, and the broadjump.

Homer Sparks finished first inthe mile, and Bill Shipley won thegruelling 440 yd. run.Floyd Feeneywon the two-milerun for Davidsonto complete the sweep in the dis-tance events.

ingDavidson on the cinders there. Coach Pete Whittle's boysare to meet the University of South Carolina, and TheCitadel in a triangular meet tomorrow. Thereforethere will be little dancing for the Davidson cindermen.And why? Who knows. We've known since early in Marchthat Spring Frolics weekend would be on April 23 and 24.Yet no attempt was made to re-schedule the meet on anotherdate. What's wrong down there in the Davidson Athletic Of-fice? Is a schedule that hard to change—

that a date can't bemoved a month in advance? Let's get on the ball. These boyswork out hard during the spring months so that Davidsoncan do well in track. They deserve at least one small con-"aeration.

Last Tuesday was the day for Honor Chapel, and whenthe timecame for the Tommy Peters award tobe made, JohnnyGray was given the honor. This is one award at Davidsonwhich represents something beyond achievement in the ordi-nary sense of the word. Tommy Peters came to Davidson in1941. He was the outstanding freshman athlete of that year,and in1942, he moved up into varsity competition. Inhis firstyear of vanity competition at Davidson,he won four letters.He was a first-line end in football, and he played one of thestarting infield positions for the diamond crew. But basket-ball,was where Peters really shone. In the Southern Confer-ence tournament of 1943, Tommy led the Davidson team asfar as the semi-finals. He fouled out of that game with lessthana minute left to play in the semi-final round, and David-ion lost in an overtime. Tommy was selected as the mostpopular player in the tournament and was a unanimous choicefor the All-Conference team.

But Tommy Peters was more than just an extraordinaryathlete. He played the game hard,but he also played it fair.He was what Davidson students today often scoff at

— "aDavidson gentleman." He truly represented the "DavidsonSpirit."

In 1943, Tommy Peters, like many other Davidsonians,went into the Armed Services. And when the war was over,ho was one of those who didn't return. He might have beenthe greatest Davidson athlete of all time. His brother Georgewas the first recipient of the trophy, and we might add herethat George was quite an athlete himself.

The major leagueshave finally gotten into full swing upNorth, and there is always that question, "Can the Yankeesdo it again?" The Bronx Bombers have won five straightWorld Series championships, a new record for consecutivewins,and each year,sports fans have predicted that the Yan-kees were "through." Casey Stengle has continued to win,however, and has another good club this year. Boston RedSox-and Chicago White Sox fans are convinced that this willbe theyear that the New York club won't win.Certainly, bothof these clubs appear to have the best chance of pushing theYankees out of first place. When Ted Williams returns tothe Red Sox line-up, they will be in there fighting for thelead. But right now, it looks like the World Series will re-main aNew York affair, withBrooklyn and the Yanks meet-

PhiDells Near TitleIn Inlerfral Tennis

With only one match remainingon their schedule, the Phi Deltaappear to be on their way to asecond consecutive inter-fraternitytennis championship. The Phi Doltcombination of Buford Price andJames Montgomery has beatenevery foe thus far, and only theATOs' remain in the way of thecrown.

The SPEs and the KAs werestill holding strong positions untilthis week when bothclubs lost tothe Phi Delts. Several other com-binations have played very fewmatches and could move up fastat the last moment,but it appearsthat none will be able to moveinto the top spot.

Actual standings of the leagueare unavailable at this time sincemany matches are in progress buthave not been finished. The Betashave now won seven matches andhave lust only one, and their com-bination will probably finish theseason in second place. Competi-tion should be finished within aweek, and final results will beannounced. Several matches havenot been played, and some forfeitsmay result.

Frosh TrackstersComplete ScheduleWith Lenoir Rhyne

The Davidson freshman trackteam encountered Lenoir RhyneCollege here this afternoon inwhat should have been one of thetoughest meets of the year forthe Wildkittens.This meet markedthe last of a five-meet card, andclosed out the frosh schedule onthe cinders.

Prior to the meet, the freshmenhad defeated East Mecklenburg.North Mecklenburg, and MyersPark High schools in a four-waymeet and had crushed the Ashe-ville School for Boys. The onlyloss for the frosh squad this sea-son was the encounter with theMars Hill Junior College team lastweekend.

The frosh tracksters have hada very successful season, and awell-balanced team with strengthin every event has been the big-gest factor in the fine record forthe campaign. Bill Gramley, BillLazenby, and Gaylord Walkerhave been consistent winners inthe weight events, and John Robi-son and John Hunter have beenthe leaders in the high jump.Robison also participates in thepole vault and in the dashes. MaiMcSwain has been theKitten broadjumper, and John Holshouser isthe leading pole vaulter.

Don Campbell, one of the out-standing men on the team, hasconsistently been the winner in thehurdles, although pushed by BobHcywood and Zel McGee. The dash■ten for theKittens areJim "Duck"Covington, Frank Kiker. RosewellMallory,Mai McSwain and Robison.Pete Ashcraft, the leader of thefrosh cross-country team, has beenthe runner in the distance events.

heimer lies must arrive at somesort of formula by which to judgefuture caaes of this type, for thiswill surely not be the last timesuch a case comes up. It seemsimperative that such a formulashould include at leastone or bothof the following considerations:

Two Criteria(1) Can it be established— at

least within reasonable doubt thatthe person involved has not hada change of heart from his formersympathies, and/or repudiated hisformer associations?

(2) Does the person's opinion orstand on the issue in question-merely because it happens to co-incide with the current Russianviewpoint— necessarily mean thathe still has subversive sympathiesand beliefs. For instance might itnot truly be thatDr. Oppenheimeropposed the construction of thehydrogen bomb purely on moralgrounds?

The only encouraging aspect ofthe situation is that whatever theGray committeedecides to do, thedecision made will be a rationaland carefully considered one, notdictated by demagoguery or politi-cal aspirations as it might easilyhave been if certain other Govern-ment officials had gotten hold ofthe case.
