The dramatic gains in student government had been won previously, and the 1969-70 Council became primarily a consummation of the previous year's productivity. Although some plans were squelched by a lack of resources, cooperation and interest, there were important contributions through- out the year. The John W. Sanderson, Jr., Hon- or Scholarship Fund was established in rec- ognition of Dr. Sanderson's services as Pro- fessor in Philosophy and former Dean of the 1-Q-0 .Fa- Faculty. Worth Sl,OO0, the scholarship was financed through the solicitation efforts of Council and awarded primarily on the basis of academic achievement. In addition, and in an effort to better rela- tions with the community, Council sponsored a series of dinners for student leaders from area high schools. In a relaxed atmosphere, Council members and administration and fac- ulty representatives sought to acquaint the prospective collegians with the distinctive educational purpose of the foreboding castle on whitey mountain.

Initiotion Questioned As Freshmen Rebel Borrowing the concept of boot camp from the Armed Forces, the sophomores once again attempted to initiate the incoming freshmen. Though the success or the ill-effects of the ini- tiation process are often difficult to gauge, the one result that was glaringly apparent was the question of whether or not Covenant had outgrown the hazing routine. Administering a program probably less severe than those of other years, the sopho- mores sought to create situations in which the underclassmen would be forced to unite and hopefully become better acquainted. This was achieved in part with a mass in- spection in which each recruit was inspected, neglected, reiected, etc., very early morning maneuvers, and then a culminating court martial. Mutiny spread throughout the frosh ranks during the morning maneuvers, however, and in this refusal to participate lay the real problem. The entire initiation depended on the willingness of the underclassmen to be abused temporarily, and the refusal to do so sounded the death knells for the '69 proceed- ings. if . L,-A 22 . .
