Campus Organizations Provided Outlets For Individual Interests When will I have a minute to . . . This expression is as common to the Davidson campus as are tweed coats and crew- cuts. Students here have more time than they ore likely to admit, because they usually spend their free hours drinking coffee at the stud or in those enlightening discussion circles, important elements in a liberal education. The remainder of their moments are filled with remembering past high school accomplishments and in planning to work for some campus activity . . . next year. But the relative lack of student interest is in no way pro- portional to the effectiveness of the organizations portrayed here. Even with limited support, they continue to provide the campus with capable leadership, with informative and enter- taining publications, and with groups organized purely for en- joyment. But with its effectiveness, the activity desires, rather than criticism, more student support. The purpose of this section, then, is to present to the student body these organizations as they function in campus life. The long nights spent by the publications, the hours of practice used by the performing groups, the hours of decision and change contributed by the leadership organizations, and the development of programs which take the time of the students in activities of interest only to themselves, help to create an atmosphere of enjoyable participation on the campus. Appreciation is hardly a word for what is felt for extracur- riculars at Davidson, but a note of gratitude is certainly in order. On the following pages are found many areas where there is a true outlet of student expression. A year of re-evaluation for the Court of Control finds justice meted out in the traditional manner.
