First, Mercer is one univer- sity among many and second, it is the school we attend, The first one is the one that we laugh at, the second is the one we love. It is pari of our lives, and Mercers memories are our memories. Perhaps this is the reason that no matter how Mercer stacks up as a school among schools, it is 01 II SUHOOL that we remember.

By Sharon Strong INETEEN-SIXTY at Mercer Univer- sity; Iwtter known as the year the rains, came. Rain ivss not all that came, however. So did Richard |{. Neibuhr bringing with bitn a sari of semi campus- wide renaissance. After the renaissance came a type of reformation which began exactly as the other with 93 theses displayed in a prominent plate. This prominent place was a pillar in the lohhj of the student center, and the till! and handsome scroll greeted dis- gruntled Moreoriarts who flocked to the co-op one drippy morning in November, after gingerly side-stepping one red and one ominous colored truck parked on the main sidewalk. There is a rumor that the occupants of the truck were in ‘■tailing additional storm sewers, hut we digress. 93 and cihuhr Connected The notorious 93 and the Neibuhr visit were someHow connected, ft is thought that I ho theses stemmed not only from the general temper of the great theologian's stay tin our campus, but also from disagreements which might have arisen over theological pol- icy. Loch of the these? was a gem of wisdom to those who could figure il out. and only a few among u? (the authors) understood some of them. This was just one of the flit If tricks the Uni- versity played on trtir lives that year, and before I960 was over, many of us found some value in being a member of (lie Mercer family. The Neibuhr visit also falls into dial category along with the visit of Dr. Ran- dall Stewart, English literature scholar from Vanderbilt, Both of these men came to us through the faculty Chris- tian Fellowship, but the real blaze of glory preceded them in the form of dis- cussion groups held to prepare us for the visits. Along with rain came race-baiting, included here because it sounds good with “rain. Many of us were surprised to learn from a letter in the Cluster that the professor who led us through Nie- buhr and Stewart had lost their effec- tiveness as Supposedly leaders of young people,' Although this probably came a no shock to the professors, some of the students were enough amused to answer die letter. The Unstick Controversy It all started with an open letter to Christianity professor Ray Brewster from law student Gene Bostick who enti- le tided that the HOPE petitions Brew- ster was circulating were not only nebu- lously worded, but also a great danger to the Southern way of life. Actually it was not professor Brewster, but Dr. Robert Otto who was circulating the petitions; Brewster's talk with Bostick before the letter appeared had not en- lightened his opponent on this subject and the letter was addressed to the wrong “supposedly leader of young people, But in the end any professor in favor of HOPE was branded as a S.L.V.P. who had lust his effectiveness, so il didn't much matter anyway. What did matter was the way the student came to the rescue. Before it was all over Bostick was called upon to mutch words with some highly indig- nant liberals, among them K. A, presi- dent Hilly Brantley and summa cum Inude scholar Buddy Hurt. The three- ring circus con tin tied a long as the Cluster. Unfortunately this was not very long.

Another new- fangled celebration was Bear Day.

But Mercer University takes particular pride in its pulchritude. The 1960 Cauldron has selected a cross-section of that beauty for your contemplation.

In the early fall, these girls were fudged informally by three local authorities of femininity and horsehide. They chose Beth Herrin as the fairest of the fair. Beth will not represent Mercer on the state or national level. She will simply reign as the prevailing example of beauty on the Mercer Campus until next year when another is picked to take her place.

Dr. Harry Smith, a Mercer alumnus and now executive secretary of the Geor- gia Baptist Foundation, was greatly re- sponsible for interesting Mr. Yonan in giving the document to Mercer.

Second and Third John and Jude arc excluded. The manuscript is written in Christian Aramaic, or Syriac, (cq.l, similar to the language of Jesus. Apparently it is the work of a single scribe.

Spriglil Dowell, the un-diumlidile Each day and each encounter with Or. Spright Dowell brings fresh reali- sation of his remarkable qualities and abilities, When discussing student prob- lems he is calm, attentive, cooperative, but firm in deciding for the side he be- lieves best for the University and all concerned. From the faculty he receives the same admiration and respect that he earned as President of Mercer for twenty-five years; and He handles their find dents with concern and tact. In addition to the many decisions he must make in one day the acting presi- dent must make almost as many ap- pearance to introduce speakers as to speak himself. At a lea or reception he stands for hours shaking hands and re- calling Hometowns and names, making freshmen feel important and at the same time filling them w ith awe and deference for those in the academic world. The Vaung Indies he makes fed more femi- nine with hi manner that is associated with all that is chivalrous.

Mr was saluted by the or- ganization as a convincing example of self-discipline, frugality, good humor, ready wit, compassion, helpful hands, amazing energy, sound judgment and dedicated diseipleship, Mil gels new president Speculation and rumor was abundant over (he long period it took Mercer trustees to select a successor for Major Connell, and when the news finally broke Mercer ians welcomed it. Students learned via a November 10 Cluster ex- tra that Tulane President Dr, Rufus C. Harris had accepted the position. This announcement came six months after the death of President George B, Connell who died nf a heart attack on April 21. 1950. During the interim. President Emeritus Dr. Spright Dowell served as the University’s leader. Tulane prospered under Dr. Harris' guidance and his agile mind and search- ing ideas on Christian education indi- cate that Mercer will do likewise. Since his appointment, faculty members have been granted a SS00 across the board raise. There will be further raises awarded on the merit system. Dr. Harris’ plans include a raise in the University's academic standards. His first steps in this direction consist of a 35 dollar per quarter tuition raise. Late in March a new Dean of the College nf Liberal Arts. Dr. Robert H. Spiro. Jr., was selected to fill the vacancy lrft by Dean Malcolm Lester. Left on the agenda are other stride? forward such as larger endowments for Mercer, expansion and longer operating hours for Hardman Library, stiffer cn trance requirements and procurement nf additional science teachers. The man in the midst of nil this ac livity has a long history as eminent educator, A Mercer alumnus, hr received his A.B. degree in 101?, took the LL B degree at Yale in 1923 and the Doctor of Jurisprudence degree in 1024. He served ns professor of law at Mercer from 1023 until 1927 when he went to Tulane as Dean of the Law School there. In 1937. at tin age of 40. he Iwcarne president of Tulane. Many wondered that Dr. Harris would give up his position at Tulane to come to a small .school like Mercer; but with his statement, “I am led to believe I can be useful. I want to do it, be as- sured all that there was no sacrifice involved. 40 Orchard Buns, Dean of Men and Acting Academic Dean Otis Dewey Knight, Dean of the Graduate School Luciic Johnson, Treasurer James C.

Willis B. Glover AIDED BY a CAREFULLY prepared ' • bibliography, a bright high school graduate could stay at home and acquire from a $200 investment in books more information than Itc would likely absorb in his first year at college at a cost sev- eral times greater. But the result would not lie as valuable to him as a year at college. The reason is rot easily speci- fied Somehow to live in a community of scholarship produces a quality of intel- lectual life that cannot be achieved by anr amount of do-it-yourself acquisition of fads and sharpening of wits. The community of scholarship in a good American college does emphatically in- clude the classroom. Otherwise, written leeiurr would have supplanted instruc- tors long before television was even dreamed of. Bui the rommunilv tran- M ends the classroom. Students learn from each other, and they [earn quite as much from the in- formal conversations of cafeteria and dormitory as they do from organized extracurricular activities. The intellec- tual quality of the college community, and hence the value of both formal and informal participation in it. is greatly mharmed by faculty-student contacts out- side the classroom. ft docs not follow, however, that all faculty-student contacts are equally val- uable. Almost any faculty member is w illing in counsel with a serious student who is having diffundi v with his work. Sometimes a little encouragement or ad- vice is alt that the student needs. But when a student who is not putting ten hours a week in preparation for a five- hour course in which he is having trouble asks the advice of a teacher. He is wasting his lime and the teacher’s and is lowering the quality of the com- munity of scholarship. Frequently the motive of such a student is the dubious one of raising his grade by some irrele- vant appeal to the pity or understand- ing” of the instructor. The most fruitful contacts growing directly out of the- classroom itself are those in which the student seeks further information or bibliography on some subject in which his interest has been aroused or wants to express to the pro- fessor the results of his own reading and thought where these have gone be- yond the lecture or class discussion. Even when such interchange is in the brief period after class, it is of real worth in piomoting the kind of com- munity which benefits all members of the college. Incoming freshmen meet administrative hierarchy at President's Tea, Dr. Spright Dowell and wife (center) greet Sarah McCord Lecturers do not a student make . . . Student at Mercer arc fond of ar- ranging Oceanians for slapstick comedy by downing faculty members. Such faculty-student contact is not utterly valueless because it frequently leads both students and instructors to reveal themselves more fully as persons and thus increase the sense of community. Nevertheless, an emphasis on this kind of thing would dissipate the energies of the community and the limited time available for faculty contact into friv- olities with little relation to the purpose of the college. Much more wholesome are the com mon enjoyment of the plays, concerts, and athletic contests that are a part of the life of the school. I remember one quiet young man who became a human being for me when f sal beside him one night at a basketball game. Partly as a result of this chance contact, I believe I was later of some help in getting him admitted to a graduate school in a field entirely distinet from my own. The most valuable of all faculty- student contacts are those involving in- formal conversation on topics of some intellectual seriousness. Where the in- terest of instructors and students is genuine, such conversation is of very great value to both. A considerable amount of this goes on at Mercer: but not nearly enough. I hiring my five years here, various faiullv members have Invited students into their homes for ihe discussion of music. pOttty, drama, novels, polities, philosophy, theology, science, etc. Un- fortunately. only a minority of students have participated; hut through this mi- nority the intellectual quality of the whole college has Iwcn improved. A number of play and novels have been introduced to the students in this way and have come to be read by students who did not participale in the initial discussion of them. Every such instance of the spread of awareness and under- standing of some significant part of our culture from one interested student to another i a demonstration of the reality of Mercer as an intellectual community. It is obvious that some faculty mem- bers arc more conveniently located than others for having students in their homes; and. of course, some are more attractive to students in this particular sort of thing, t It should also be recog- nized that very excellent teachers may not he {rifted in leading informal dis- cussions. ( Ideally, it would lie good for members of the faculty- to avoid building it On small college campus, students really meet the teachers Dr. Spencer King Chairman of Mercer's History Department brings fork to Chi Os during Stave Day up little “followings ' of students: they should keep themselves open to all stu- dents w ho may share their interests or be interested in their special fields.

Efforts at I be deliberate stimula tion of more entertain trig o f st udents in fac - ulty homes have not generally been successful at Mercer in the years I have been here, and the Student Activities Committee has wisely dropped its subsi- dizing of such entertainments at so rourh a head.

The faculty-led “Ready for Richard ' discussions that were organized in prep- aration for the visit to our campus of Richard R. Niebuhr arc the kind of thing needed to make Mercer a first rate college. The number of students who participated was not large, hut the im- parl on the community was impressive. Similar discussions were organized prior to the coming of Randall Stewart in April. It is hoped that the “Ready for Ran- dall' groups will include more students: yet it is important to remember that the community as a whole benefits more from conversations that improve the quality of our intellectual life through a few students than from popularized and walerrd-dnwn discussions that leave our minds Lnislretchcd, At the time of this writing Great De- cisions discuss inns groups involving about a hundred students seems to be well launched.

The Academic Classroom by Dabney Riggs lis a difficult and sometimes a losing process T HE MERCER classroom isn't. I imagine, a great deal different from classrooms at any other University. And the classroom isn't just a composite of professors, students and its physical plant. It is, more or less, an altitude. The classroom attitudes at Mercer vary from the tomb-like stillness of an English literature class to the ball-park fumr of the history department. Each professor is noted for a particular trait, and quite naturally students pick the professor as he suits their traits. The end result can lie something Hike Prof. High fill's class with all the co-eds light- ing for front-row seats, or it can end up looking like Prof. Glover's class with various radical groups clinging to the hack row. Author theory on seats Perhaps some scholar one day will do sufficient research to sustain a theory of mine which could lie stated thusly: the receptivity of any particular group is inversely proportional to the order in which they seat themselves (look at the chapel i. But all this supposed introduction aside, and into what we hope will he the body of this dissertation. Mercer boasts somewhere between 50 and 75 classrooms in various states of well-equippedncss. The University has between 50 and 75 professors, also in various states of well-equippedness. In the Liberal Arts school, the lecture method is generally employed. Many professors substitute a sort-of question and answer technique when they are improperly prepared for the class. Perhaps the lecture method carried to its extreme could have been seen in now-departed Malcolm Lester whose lec- tures were so well prepared that if he were late to class he began his lecture 47 It Hurts To Learn The most familiar scene in the classrom learning process is like the on eabove. This time language professor Ben Reece drills students on the Roman tongue Calm in the midst of freshman laboratory furor. Chemistry Professor Early Mosely contemplates his grade book Small classes are usually the status quo. Here Journalism Professor John Raymond instructs a 4th hour class with a membership of 7 And Students have learned ways to avoid the pain coming up the steps. Prof. Will Glov- er's own variation of the lecture method involves throwing barbs at the daw while he expounds. Prof. Ben Griffith a ho adds punch to his lectures with quips. One of his most memorable moments was the day he replied to a student who asked if Wordsworth real I v learned from nature. “Yes, said the professor. “Well, I tonic my book to the park yesterday.1 said the student, “and I spent all after- noon there, hut I didn't learn a thing.” The whole tiling was settled when Prof, Griffith asked the hapless student if he had sat on his hook. Tin- remnant of John Dewey Easily the most unpopular major on the Mercer Campus—and if reports are accurate, every other campus in the na- tion, is the education course. It never is exactly dear why the courses are so dreaded, for the department certainly contains professors of caliber; but the fact remains nonetheless. One student offered a solution with the comment that he had gotten tired of sitting in the circles looking at other people's knees. Campus intellectuals tell us lhat the Christianity department is the best equipped at Mercer, Its members prob- ably would not disagree. Generally the Irrturc methnd is employed in that pan of the campus, and lately there has been a great movement towards the use of Gail Aorris and Dahnie Riggs struggle with the insides of a frog in Fuss Ware's grueling afternoon lliology Lab the standardized exam. It ha been of- fered that standardized exams (sup- piwtirdly the result of laziness will sig- nal the downfall of the department. Yote-taking is the student's most noticeable pastime, but this again de- pends upon the professor and the rest of the class. One professor, now de- parted. was said to have never com- pleted a sentence. Naturally very few notes were taken in his class. Some stu- dents use furious note-iaking as a device to fool the professor. This has led to unhappy endings: a nole-book lying on a co-op hooth contained some notes on carlv English history. They read like this: “Sheep were numerous, they were grown for their wool, the wool was very valuable. Tin- George Ambrose talc But this is onlv the beginning nf stu- dent device . Certainly the most famous talc is the George Ambrose I traditional mythical student ' one in which it i alleged that he passed Doc Anthony Econ 50course with a B. In 1959 when penalties on overt tits were abolished, there was a reaction among live student body. It was gen- erally favorable. One of the most im- mediate results was a furious construc- tion of tales asserting the number uf times that a student had cut a class, hut still ilia ini ained a passing average. Prob- ably the tast talc is the verifiable one about Sandra Hutto. She was told by one of her professors toward the end of the quarter, that there was no hope for her passing the course. She quit attend- ing. When the grades came out two weeks later she found a C marked for the subject. Rumors have it that labs are the best places to skimp.

Not less spectacular than the author of Resurrection and Histori- cal Reason himself were the pre and post visit bickerings among some five theologically inclined professors who could not agree what the great man said or with the great man when he got here. Dr, Niebuhr, known for his signifi- cant contributions to American theology, delivered special lectures on November 12 and 13. He spoke to the faculty on a topic relating to the university and the church, and to the student body and public on The Bible and Twentieth Century Man and “Nature and History: One World or Two?” Joe Hendricks. Director of Religious Activities at Mercer, said of the pro gram: “The Office of Religious Activi ties and the Faculty Christian Fellow- ship is bringing Dr. Niebuhr to Mercer to allow interested students and faculty the chance to participate in thoughtful discussion concerning many of the prob- lems of the Christian faith.1 II11111 if i I wan firsl of Lamar Lecture f irst in the series of Lamar Lectures was Dr. Jay Broadus Hubbell, widely acclaimed authority on Southern Litera- ture and emeritus professor at Duke University, Dr. Hubbell is the author of The South in American Literature, a Mayflower Cup winner in 1955, and was also chairman of the board of edi- tors of American Literature from the founding of that journal in 1928 until his retirement in 1954.

Walk in found violence in Faulkner In a stroke of masterful planning, the I n mar Lecture series brought Dr. Floyd C-. Watkins to Mercer to discuss Wi|. liam Faulkner shortly before Dr. Ran- dall Stewart arrived on campus to lec- ture cm the conception of original silt in American literature. Dr. Stewart used Faulkner as a primary example of Ins theory. Dr, Watkins has taught at Emory University since 1949, and in 1958 won the Georgia. Writer1' Association award fur his hook.

Dr. Stewart is the author of American Literature ami Christian Doctrine, a book dealing with the influence on the American author of the Christian doctrine of original sin. Among the lecturer’s other writings are three books on Haw thorne and co-editor- ship of a hook on American literature. He is also former director of the Ameri- can Studies Program. Hr, Stewart spoke to the faculty on the topic of ‘Religion Intellectually Re- spected Again,” and to the students and publir on “Thu Naturalistic Error,” “Doctrines of Man in American Litera- ture” and “The Religious Significance of Warren and Faulkner. In addition he was available for small discussion groups with interested students, Lamar Lectures are provided for the purpose nf aiding in the preservation of Southern culture, history and literature, while llic Office of Religious .Activities and Faculty Christian Fellowship are interested in applying Christian prin- ciples to the student's field of interest.

U argret Sheppard. Student Nurses By Prof. T. P. Haines Professor T, '. Haines has been associated with student nurses on the ferrer Campus si ft re the program had its inception several years ago. His thorough knowledge of their abilities and aims, plus his keen eye for detail, and subtle uit. make him eminently qualified to discuss their position. Professor Haines has been will thr department and has been at Mercer since 194.1. is presently head of the department. 17 ACR FALL there appears on the Mercer campus a group of from SO lo t 5 young women, presumably screened and selected, collectively re- ferred lo as STUDENT NURSES. For 7 years these girls have been sent to our campus hy the Nurses’ Education Department of the Macon Hospital for a 9-months period of training in aca- demic courses. These groups are differ- ent individually each year but they are eternally and collectively the same. Their course of study includes two quarters of Anatomy and Physiology, one quarter each of Microbiology, Chemistry, English, Public Speaking, Psychology, Nutrition, Health and First Aid and Sociology. Most o( these courses are, of course, slanted toward the nursing profession and are only open to these student nurses. While this arrangement has its obvious advantages or instruction and is absolutely un- avoidable in some courses, there are certain unfortunate disadvantages result- ing. The prime one of which is too much constant contact with their own group and not enough association with our regular students, tending lo create a feeling of isolation on the part of the student nurses and a non-acceptance hy the student body in general. This situa- tion has definitely improved through the years, but is far from ideal. Why Nursing The reasons for their individual pres- ence in the nursing program could be as varied els the individuals themselves. Doubtless the most common reason would involve a sense of future useful- ness and service. A few believe the nursing profession would be an excel- lent preparation for marriage i and so it is. I An even fewer number are es- capists —merely marking time until HE comes along. Regardless of their reasons they are enrolled at Mercer University and are a definite part of the campus scene. Any group with a comparable Dum- ber of regular coeds would be as normal and as individualistic as the member of ihe class of student nurses. Each has her own ambiLions and problems. Each is as eager for praise, for recognition and for success as anyone else. They are just as interested or disinterested in men as any female. Each is as childish, as mature, as distant and reserved, as friendly, as attentive, as indifferent, as sensitive, as serious as thr next student. Despite these similarities they are dif- ferent in several ways. By virtue of their connection with the nursing profession the girls are denied membership in any social group, such as a sorority. (Their loviiltv must be lo their profession and it can not be divided or shared with any other. They are not allowed to compete in intramural sports. If any student nurse should marry before she has com- pleted 2U' year nf her training she is automatically dropped from the class. Their course of study I shall probably €7 Special skills are learned in class and regret this statement and it is an obvious and colossal mistake for me to mention this) is somewhat harder than that en- tered upon by tiur regular freshman. The course work is slightly heavier, merely a matter of degree however— not that the student nurse at any time is swamped with an overwhelming aca- demic load. But while attending classes on our campus she is also attending classes at the hospital. In addition to these activities she goes on duly during the winter quarter on the floor of the hospital; excellent prac- tical experience, hut time consuming and physically tiring. Using Biology 15.N and IAN as an extreme example of taking a somewhat heavier course load, the student nurse, with her typically in- adequate high school preparation, studies. Anatomy and Physiology of the human body at the senior college level rather than at the Junior college level. This is an absolute, natural necessity and it is carried out without any introductory Biology course. This is certainly not true of all the courses taken at Mercer by these girls but it serves to highlight the precise and at times intense course training that is required. That many girls survive this program is ever to their Credit, but it is not surprising that a few drop or are dropped by the way- side. Pursuing higher learning in special nurses’ library are Linda Harris, Mary Ann Rafjield, and Judith Minis. Committing to memory the muscles and hones is indeed an arduous task, they do part at Mercer, the rest in the hospital, instructing class is student nurse Margaret Poythress Far removed from available men an the Mercer campus, in this duel are Linda Harris, Jay Chapman, and Mary Ann Raffield Here is freshman beauty queen Louise Mitchell Nurse in Minority The student nurse is in reality a minority group, and is subject to the fate of such people. Typically she is re- sented by the coeds as COMPETITION for dates and is eyed critically and coolly. Anonymous plmne calls trying tn intimidate or discourage participation in beauty queen contests, t g., are indica- tive of such resentment. The fact that three student nurses have won the Freshman Beauty Queen title has not fostered any overall friendly relations with some groups. All this i?, of course, good, dean, “dirty politics, However for the Hirst time one of (his group lias been elected to an office in the freshman class. Tills is a healthy and encouraging sign of a belter relationship and under- standing throughout our campus. At times we rant anti rave at them and about them. With their characteris- tic water-on-thc-duckVback altitude they go on their merry way unconcerned. They are a noisy bunch of females— true to their sex. Typically they come up with some thoughtless comments as: Professor, Now, please refer to chart No. T251.” S. ,N. “How do you spell that? 11 Co rts-o n-tli c i r-a I cove Perhaps it is because there are so many in one room at one time that their mistakes, their hearts-on-their- sleeves, their ordinary faults, their an- noying habits, their problems, their amusing idiosyncrasies are magnified out of all proportion. For the most part they arc conscientious and serious but they will always remain typical students, trying to impress their professors with empty promises of study and improve- ment and a lengthy recital of their futile efforts to learn the assigned material. (When will any student learn that a week’s work can not be memorised in the few hours just before the examina- tion )!

A preoccupation with torts, jurisprudence and the legal aspects of the recent sit-down strikes plus a strenuous round of responsi- bilities render the law students a little apart from the Liberal Arts School. Characterized by a supreme garrulity, the Walter F. George men can most often be found dialling in front of the law building or grouped around tables in the student center defending their champion coffee consumer title, lor most law students the road to the future takes one of two directions. Either In- Hunks out and becomes an insurance adjustor, or he absorbs the mass of detail necessary to pass the bar examination and is immediately snapped up by one of the busy law firms which devour young law- yers with an amazing voracity. 71 Powers and Former Powers Came to Law Day 1960 IGNITARFES were double al the 12th annual Law Day of the Walter I-. George School of Law. The Friday, No- vember 6, chapel audience heard Governor hrnest an diver make a rambling, typically political speech. Senator Herman Tnlmadge was tin- speaker for the main address which fol- lower! the barbecue Under the elms. The record crowd attending witnessed the Tab madgr charm and magnetism which have won the support of Georgians for two gen- erations. Since the first Law Day in 19-IS when the idea of a homecoming for the Law stu- dents materialized, outstanding speakers have graced the pblform in Willingham Chapel; but according to regular attendor this Law Day was the most rewarding in every respect. Following the morning Chapel activity less attractive to the observer, hut of much interest to the barristers of die Stale was n panel discussion on the question of in- corporation nf the Georgia Bar. The mod- erator for the discussion was Judge Mnl- lory C. Atkinson, professor of law at Mercer. Working with Milton Harrison, president of liie Law School student body, were Law Day Co-chairmen Boh Steed and Thomas MrlVtrrs, These students made the plans which the entire school supported with in- dividual arid collective efforts, The main business of Law Day is talk, ami all kinds ure Iward from Georgia Politics to the rehashing of idd school days. The traditional barbecue is held on the front lawn pictured below. Senator Herman Talmadge, shaking hands in the center of the picture, made a brief talk m the afternoon. He talked tear ml y and evenly about the antics of Yankee politicians who want to run the South, r.s talk was a hit. Georgia Governor Van- diver spoke to the entire student body at the morning chapel service. A usually rowdy chapel was alien live as the Governor explained that the South fared its worse crisis in 100 years. A'o good politician misses a handshake. Here Talmadge meets a poten- tial voter.

Moot Court calendar reads from civil to criminal, bankruptcy to rape with the most frequent trials on moonshiners. Trials arc sparked with Coke jugs of “evidence and Wesleyan jurors.

One of the first moves of the year was the debut of the Mercer i nspired Bat Week. For the first time incoming freshmen were required to wear the I radii ion id M,U. rat cap. Other require- ments were the carrying of shoesliirie kits and wearing white pharm jackets with a spatula in the pocket.

Pharmaceutical Prate The professional pharmaceutical fra- tcmitics at SCP can be credited with serving a dual purpose. As social as well as professional organizations they are necessary elements to those who know them well. Rivalry is strong be- tween the two men’s frats. Phi Delta Chi and Kappa Psi, but the enjoyment derived from each seems about equal. Phi Della Chi launched fall quarter with an orientation period campaign to outfit every freshman with a decal of the school. The next event was a buffet of delicatessen rarities at Dr, lord's house, and the quarter ended with a semi-formal party at the banquet room of Howard Johnson7 restaurant. The Thanksgiving turkey shoot brought the boys with the b-b- guns to the back campus to battle it out for one of the three turkeys given as prizes. Tin- group again rushed to the back campus to attend the hamburger fry® sometimes held on Friday afternoons. Plii Della Chi at National Convention Before getting set for the National Convention at the Dinkler-Plaza hotel, the Phi Delta Chi’s took time for a service project and re-upholstered the rhairs in the sophomore lecture room. The National Convention was the larg- est one ever held, SCP’s own Dr, Samuel K. LatTadav served as toastmaster. This year’s officers were Don Rob- erts, president; Dean Cox, vice-presi- dent; GWynne Maurer, secretary and Carroll Cannon, treasurer. kappa Psi gives away book covers The Kappa Psi’s began their year by offering book covers to incoming stu- dents, Their next project was inviting the mtinocqlalcci |u take the first two polio shots in the scries.

A round the world On The House Junior-Senior Trip ¥ N THEIR final year of training 5-C.P, students become great travel- ers, Trip to various pharmaceutical concerns and conventions provide op- portunity for them to see their future profession at first hand. Many return much better oriented into the text- book come true world of reality. It can be said in all truthfulness, however, that the pharmacy profession has a way of combining business with pleasure. This year's big junior-senior trip Look the travelers to Indianapolis and Detroit to visit Pittman-Moore, Eli Lily and Park-Davis. The journey was fi- nanced by the hosts, but the guests were required to come through with train fare. Amusements on the train consisted of long naps and canasta games which were usually won by card shark Dean Littlejohn. S.C.P. carried Itelwl flag mi trip Along with Dean and Mrs. Oliver Littlejohn, a large rebel Hag accom- panied the 39 students making the trip. The flag was bought by the school for the purpose of prov iding a backdrop f«r the group's rendition of “Dixie. It also went along while those from S.C.P. boarded the train and when they en- tered hotel . The rebel were foiled at the Shrridan-Cadillac in Detroit where the door was not large enough to ac- commodate their red and gray friend. 2lklegree weather Bundled up against the 20-degree weather the group had no trouble find- ing amusements in the big cities; and after a day spent getting the facts be- hind pharmacy, an expense free night on the town was very welcome. One such evening took them to “La Rite’s” for a fabulous floor show and some self- styled entertainment which included Student Council President James Bris- coe’s piano concerto “Down the Road Apiece. On November 18 the group returned from the 10 day trip fatigued hut better educated. The Confederate flag, their loyal supporter and key to TV fame, returned with them. Another opportunity for seniors to 91 Old Glory went along travel came on April ISth through the 2 Xh when the Georgia Pharmaceutical Convention was held in Savannah. Thirty-two stu- dents attended the lectures and question and answer sessions at the DcSolo Hold. The conference is designed to provide closer tics be- tween Georgia pharmasists, Pharmacists are guest of Daniels John B. Daniels wholesale drug company in Atlanta also had the S,CP. seniors as guests. The outing consisted of a general and thorough tour of the premises and included a general description of the operations. Special emphasis was given to the services the wholesale druggists render to pharmacies. Newly initiated Mercerians took the pilgrimage to Pen field along with Mercer seniors, and traveled to Macon also for another whole- sale drug company tour. While in our locality the S.C.P. students managed to lake a peek at the M.U. campus, n well-kept secret in these parts.

The social events are sponsored by the Student Council and attended by those who like a good time, Halloween party great suerew A yearly evert is the Halloween party complete with costumes and prizes for outlandishness in dress. This October the affair was held at the Georgian Ter- race Hotel. Dancing was part of the en- tertainment along with a blark-face pan- tomime starring Dr, Clifton Cord and Bill Kelley. I nplanned but much appreciated en- tertainment was furnished by Dean Littlejohn who tame to the party so effectively Costumed in a woman’s dress and hair-raising mast that he wasn’t recognized for about thirty minutes.

The gifts were unusually fine. All the hoys received car coats and toys, while the girls were given sweaters. Captain Carey of the Salvation Army was pre- sented with a Spalding basketball to be used at Red Shield barn. At the Sweetheart Dance on Febru- ary 12 Mrs. lienee Campbell was chosen sweetheart of S.C.P. on the basis of her beauty. Dr. La f today served as chief judge for the contest and was assisted by Dean Littlejohn. Mrs. Wang and Mr. Roskoa, Refreshments were eandv and punch, and the spectators who watched Mrs. Campbell receive her loving cup formed a crowd of above average size. The dance was held at the Mayfair Club. AnnuuI spring outing at Aeworth Acworth beach was the scene and May 13 was the date of the annual S.C.P. picnic, an official holiday for all students. In spite of the cool weather the traditional softball rivalry took plate and was won by Phi Delta Chi. Mac Lear's catered the affair and served har-be-que to all picnickers brave enough lo face the climate. The finale to Student Council social events was the President’s Inauguration Ball, a new-comer to activities at S.C.P. Held on May 27 in the main ballroom of the Dinkier Plaza, the affair was a eornhmotion senior banquet and inaug- uration ceremony for the new student government presidents. The party also served as a farewell to Dr. Minnie Myer, assistant dean of S.C.P. and faculty member of twenty- year standing. An oil painting of I)r. Myer was unveiled and presented as a lasting monument to her and her lov- able and eccentric qualities. Awards to outstanding seniors were included along with the other festivities. S-C.P. plays bosket and softball Tlie sports scene at S.C.P. consists of basketball and softball competition. Hnw ihe busy future pharmacists ever get around to even those two athletic ventures is hard to understand. In fad the basketball tournament was this year cut short in deference to final exams. Phi Dell, Kappa Psi and Independent teams battled it out all winter in a round robin basketball tournament played al Bed Shield barn, but the tie between the Independents and Phi Delta Chi remains unbroken. The competition for the Phi Dell Chi-Kappa Psi softball plaque tool place on a poor day for a picnic.

DTC TRAINING ;il Mercer, now in ila Hlli year, lias had a brief bul event filled history as it has established Itself firmly in the college curriculum. Statistics tell the quickest story Ex- actly 438 commissions have been award- ed to Mercer men who completed the four-year training program. Enrollment, originally 98, is now 190. It has soared as high as 400. ROTCt known more formally as Re- serve Officers' Training Corps, has as its mission, to produce commissioned offi- cers for the Organi led Reserve Corps and the Regular Army.1' The training leads to a reserve commission as a sec- ond lieutenant. But ROTC programs vary in nature from campus to campus. And there is a special individuality in the way ROTC has become an important part of Mercer. It includes such ceremonies as ROTC Day. an annual event at Mercer. It is in thr excitement of the selection of the unit’s sweetheart. It has something to do with the fame attained by thr ROTC- sponsored girls’ rifle team, one of the 10 in the nation. Perhaps something of what ROTC has become at Mercer can be under- stood through a brief trip through its history. It wras started in 1947 with GoL John W. Meade as the first commanding offi- cer. or professor of military science and tactic , t PMSSTf It was an artillery unit then, meaning that all commissions were given for the artillery branch of the Army. In 1949 the unit became Quartermaster, and is now General Military' Science, giving 101 7 a Cadets Become Men Once A U Week On Monday commission in all branches. Also in 194-9 the unit received a new PMS T, Ll, Col, Wiley B. Tenner, who became an extremely papular Mercer faculty member and a highly thought of citiwn of Macon. The Colonel was elected president of the faculty club; he was made coach of the Mercer tennis team; he received commendations and citations and he was made an honorary city police chief. His tour of duty, originally set for three years, was twice extended at the request of university officials. He did not leave until 1954; and when he did. The Ma con Telegraph and The Macon News saluted him in a lead editorial. During Col, Tenner’s administration such standard institutions as Scabbard and Blade, military honor fraternity, and Pershing Rifles, a crack drill outfit, were established. Here was also the girls’ rifle team, BMieVfcg The poor cadets must sprint from the hitl to the ROTC range, check out a weapon, and get in for mar ion in less than ten minutes—some say it’s the worst part of the department. Jirn McKinney, above, gives the order to pull out for the Monday dress ftaradr. Below, the rigid formation of the military uaits on the orders from Ross Crossley. m Hodgepodge Its not all bayonets and drills in the ROTC which upon it establishment in 1950, immediately attracted wide interest. The Macon Telegraph of February 2. 1950 reported in tones of incredulous awe that Miss Sybil Hartley of thr team, “was said to have scored bulls-eyes in three out of four tries ' Enrollment rose steadily. It was 51 in 194349; 162 in 1919-50; 275 in 1950- 51 and 347 in 1951-52. And the Mercer ROTC unit was commended steadily by the: Army as well as by officials and the campus newspaper. The Mercer Cluster. The unit began to appear in Macon ceremonies, particularly in the Confed- erate Memorial Day. ROTC cadets pitched in for blood drives during the Korean War. As the Mercer reputation increased, Col. Tonner spoke at high schools over middle Georgia explaining the ROTC program. When the Colonel left in 1954, be had I lie satisfaction of leaving a job wrell done to an able successor. Cot. William D. Smith Jr., previously on duty in Jimmie Blackwell has just been named Sponsor of the Mercer Rattle Formosa, came to Mercer as the new PMS T. Col. Smith also quickly made a name Tor himself in Macon. He was chairman of the Heart Fund Sunday drive and was named I-egionnaire of the Week by the Jos, N, Neel Jr, Post of the American Legion of Georgia, Col- Walter E. Sewell, a native Geor- gian and a graduate of the University of Georgia, succeeded Col. Smith in 1957. Col.

Sum- mer camp was a barrage of hypos. Colonel Pills, a graduate of Officers Candidate School at Fort Bctming, Georgia, related his general opinions about ROTC lo the situation at Mercer. “We want to continue to turn out a quality product,” he explained, “we need men capable of serving in the capacities of combat command. For this reason. I intend In lay stress on gradu- ating top-quality reserve lieutenants, rather than lowering standards to en- large the class.” He pointed out that although Mercer usually graduated from 25-30 officers each year, he would only strive for increase if the quality stand- ards could be maintained. The maintenance of a ‘“quality prod- uct.” Colonel Pills continued, would be aided by the revisions (lending within the ROTC curriculum. The changes referred to call for less instruction in military theory in the Junior and Senior years and more work in academic subjects tike psychology and the political and social sciences. “Many ul the topics which will be dropp'd ran be laupht better «luring I hr Kummer ramp training period,” Colonel Pitt? pointed out. “For instance instruction in crew-served weapons and gunnery can be of much more signifi- cance to I he cadets if taught in actual rombat-simulaied terrain. The hills at Fori Benning are the finest terrain that I know of anywhere for such training, Pills added with a smile. Colonel Pitts who completed his Fort Ih-nning training in 1912 was likewise highly complimentary of the change at Mercer and elsewhere front branch school instruction to a curriculum of General Military Science. Under the branch school system, cadets were grail ualcil into a specific branch after hav- ing received Specialized training while in college. “Under the GMS system.” Colonel Pitts explained, “officers will be trained In some extent for combat duly. No matter what branch an officer finally en- ters, he will most proliablv serve with a combat unit. Therefore it is essential that he he trained in combat strategy and tactics as well as in the specialties of his own branch. In addition, the atomic weapons that most countries now possess will mean that more personnel than ever will be subject to combat par- ticipali cm. Colonel Pills showed that if a man was burdened down in college with spe- cialized study, he would miss basic courses available nowhere else, while the specialized instruction he would re- ceive would not be as thorough as that which could Imi given on the branch or specialized level. He compared the GMS system In a liberal arts program in col- lege in which students receive courses in fundamental subjects and are trained in special fields by the industries who know best what their trainees will have to know. The future for Mercer ItOTC? At present this is not clear. Colonel Pitts is faced not only with a changing pro- gram. hut must nexi year accommodate himself to a complete turnover in com- missioned instructor personnel.

Although the ROTC cadet can find much to criticize concerning a program of college military science, seldom does he stop to consider the terrific handi- caps under which the cadre must op- erate. In this, the student’s views on RQTC, «I is only fair that we begin by acknowledging twr understanding of these stumbling blocks. In the first place, the cadets which present themselves to the ROTC cadre each year for «mother shot at it arc for the most part unwilling volunteers caught between the devil and the pro- verbial watery blue waste?. They have chosen military science as the least worst among several choices.

But surprising numbers of juniors return each year eager to spend long hours enridling the experience of those who haven’t been with lengthy anecdotes uf summer camp. So it is not all in vain.

That one man is John Weatherly, He is so singular an individual that no brief summation of his activities wilt make clear his qualifications for writing this piece. John is an avid joiner• no one has even totaled his memberships. His has a particular penchant for joining and creating religions organisations, hav- ing been a founding father of the Inter-Faith Coun- cil. So interested is he in the world around him, that he busied out of school in the spring quarter of I960. As far m this story is concerned, it is OK because it has the approval of Joe Hendricks, new DRA and University spiritual leader. By John Weatherly In Religion at Mercer 'T’HE TOTAE impact of Mercer pre- gents the student with a religious experience in itself, and the religious life here cannot he limited to any one area of the campus such as the depart ment of Christianity, the Office of Reli- gious Activities, or the activities of the Baptist Student Union or of the Wesley Foundation. Facility members intent on uncovering truth lead him into consid- eration of ideas often in conflict with his own, and some of his classmates eager for argumentative conversation share their own perspectives and are willing to hear his. Along the way he meets llie student who is fundamental istic in Iris orienta- tion, the sceptic who calls everything into question, the indifferent living on the edge of chaos, the pragmatist intent on a successful career. Anti meeting these, the structure of beliefs which he Bright visitor, R. R. Niebuhr, pa uses in midst of expostula- tion brought into the community of learn- ing becomes shaken and unsettled, fol- lowed by a process of reflective re- stabilization which, if allowed its posi- tive course, makes him a stronger per- sonality. This year the Faculty Christian Fel- lowship sought to channel this zeal for theological conversation into a number of faculty-student study groups centered around the visits to our campus of Rich- ard R. Niebuhr and Randall Stewart. Meeting in the informal circumstances of the professor's home these students thrashed out the contributions of these men to contemporary Christian thought. Thus the religious impulse found an outlet in an academic situation of study, reflection and clarification. But there are other religious impulses, such as the one that drove Martin Luther to the door at Wittenburg. 10 95 Thesis posted by Unknown Religionists It was Martin Lather Revisited Thanksgiving when the 95 theses made a brief appearance One Fall morning students finishing breakfast found a long scroll on which was inscribed 95 Theses.

Perhaps, says Glover, because he could not really decide which side he Was on. Early in the school term a number of BSUera became concerned about the snickers and light treatments afforded their organization by a large segment of the student body.

Changes were made, and as ihc study continued well into the year they, as one member expressed it, subjected themselves to the danger of “moving from a practice of acting without think- ing to a practice of thinking without acting,” Meanwhile, the BSU unit organisa- tions such as the Christian Service Fel- lowship, the Young Woman’s Auxiliary arid the Ministerial Association were still going strong. So were the separate arid relatively young Wesley Founda- tion and Inter-Faith Council, Wesley Foundation, the Methodist fellowship, gained many dynamic ideas from such conferences os the Junaluska leadership training Conference, the Slate Methodist Student Movement anrl the 18th Ecumenical Conference at Ath- ens, Ohio. Central to the planning of the various new committees that were formed was the conviction that I lie Wes- ley Foundation should serve as the church in the college situation. That is, that the activities and talents of its members should serve those members as college students—aware of their par- ticular strengths and needs in thin sit- uation. Certain areas such a worship, journalism and drama came under the attention of their Executive Council. of religious activity Probably the most significant activity to come out of the Wesley Foundation efforts was the series of field trips to the local Methodist Children's Home, the controversial Koinonia Farm and the inter-racial Student Christian Con- ference at Paine College. These trips were designed to bring the participants into an encounter with some aspect of the church not generally known or with some problem that the Christian community has to face.

Several vesper pro- grams were given on the heritage of certain faiths and on the patterns of worship found an the tradition of other «'burches. Members came into conversa- tion with a similar group at Wesleyan College and helped spark the drive to bring a student-sponsored foreign stu- dent to Mercer. Another project pushed by the inter- faith council was the Student Christian Conference held at Paine College. The results were found in a good delegation from Mercer who came in contact with student leaders active in the anti-segre- gation movement of many Negro stu- dents in the South. Perhaps an echo of this and other Christian conferences that touched upon the race problem was the Increase in nttccndance of Mercer students to the Hutu an Relations Council here in Ma- con. Some of these also attended the State Human Relations Council in At- lanta and have been vocal in expressing their views on the racial crisis in the light of the Christian faith.

The remaining three had some con- fusion about when and where they were supposed to meet, and lliev too ad- journed after deciding when to meet next time It was all very ridiculous, ami very time-consuming, I must admit the night was an exceptional one, But let us look at the statistics. Sup- pose the 10tl Mercer organizations met only on -e a month. With only Tour available days to gather t Monday through Thursdayi that averages five meetings a night. But most of lire groups meet twice u month, and big scale opera- tions like student publications nnd fra terni ties meet every day. Tire loll in potential study lime is overwhelming, os Are these groups contributing to the over all development of the student? Obviously some are. But 1 must con- tend ill at the ratio of contribution to hours consumed i? ridiculously low. Certainly fraternities, collegiate athlet- ics and student jiuhLiralinn provide vnl uable safety valves.

I recall a new organization which bail been set up by the student consti- tution in 1958. Its purpose was admir- able. but like most student groups, it had ineffectual and disinterested leader- ship for its first year, Just before the group slipped into that oblivion char- acteristic of most SGA ofliees. a fireball lender was named chairman. I, as some- one with a sincere interest in seeing the group assert itself and accomplish its intended purpose, was heartened. But after four consecutive meetings spent trying to create some by-laws for the committee, it was evident that this group was bogged in the quagmire of psendo- parliiairientary procedure. The last time I heard from them, they were still wrangling with fine points of order, and had forgotten the purpose for which they were created, fn Four or five years, the turmoil will be over; they will have a set of by-laws, frater- miles and sororities will vie to put members on the group,, and its. purpose will be entirety forgotten. Perhaps I have overdrawn the case, hut I suspect not.

Yet the picture isn’t all black. The general B$l u sort-of whipping bey for the entire campus, spent this past year doing nothing, probably one of the most forward steps it has taken since the herescy trials, Well not exactly doing nothing; they look the year off for what they called re-evaluation.

They cut meeting down to a nub. Tap officials consider this one of the group’s most progressive acts. Religious groups are infamous meeters and joiners. According to the 95 thesis, the favorite activities of Baptists is counting one another.

The slock argument that if I hadn't been doing this I would have been do- ing something else is just not that true. Perhaps I would have gone to more movies, and mavlw visited the Sunshine more often. But anyone with the energy to join as many dubs as I did—and I suspect this applies to the majority of Students—would have been bound to spend more time on the books, or what is even a happier alternative. I could have done a few things murh better. I have nothing new to offer as a so- lution to the problem of over-organiza- linn. It seems to be a constant is at Mercer; but if I were a humanitarian, I know what I would do. 1 would set up a table at freshman orientation and hand every incoming student a card con- taining two words, “Don’t Juih.” end J Persistent joiners reap well-deserved rewards.

While it would be unwise to draw sharp distinctions between beginnings and endings,, or between the old and the new, wc can peer, albeit with a partisan gaze, at Mercer as wc knew it between Sept. 13, 1956 and June 6, 1960, We have indeed been at Mercer dur- ing years of transition. The campus is now greatly altered. There have been three major physical constructions: the Humanities Building, the Student Center, the Math and Phys- ics Building. Other buildings have been improved or added onto or torn down. There has been an almost complete turnover in ranking leadership in the administration, Death claimed a great president. Dr, George B.

We started th year 1959-60 under the dedicated vrntcheare of Dr. Spright Dowell who was Interim President for one year. At the age of 81, Dr, Dowell took up again the duties he had per- formed as Mercer's president between 1928 and 1953. Then the new men came. Dr. Rufus C.

He was to lake office around Sept. I, 1960. Other appointments were expected to he announced in the summer of i960. So with new leaders and new build- ings. new faculty members and the per- ennial tide of new students, it could seem that Mercer in i960 was radically different from the Mercer «f 1956. But we know' that this is not so. We know that behind this altered exterior, Mercer has not reallv changed, 'lite Me reer we have known does not and cannot change.

There was a second year: the Student Center was built and dedicated; Brooks Hays spoke for Law Day. scarcely weeks after the debacle at Little Rock; a mid- winter cold spell, colder than normal Macon mid-winters, forced suspension of classes for three and a half days: the Cooperative Party did it again, and swept student government elections for the second straight year; efforts failed to pass an amendment la the Student Constitution obligating students to re- port academic cheating I April, 19581; beards were grown for Homecoming; in The duster appeared a letter critical of campus life, the work of an acerbic author who signed himself “Iconoclast”: and a boiler exploded in the Student ('.enter tApril, 1958).

Constantly thrown together, the theat- rical set has become a well recognized campus clique which is probably at this lime united in mourning the absence of leading man Jimmy Prescott. A typical member of the drama group, Jimmy has acquired since his first appearance before a Mercer audience, a depth of feeling for his parts which is usually reserved for those of much greater ex- perience. Charlotte Bene field, now a senior, is another example of the de- velopment of talent. The Bald Soprano Out of this hotbed of ability have come this year some nl the finest per- formantes ever to enliven the Willing- ham chapel stage, but highest honors would have In go In the production of Ionesco's The Bald Soprano presented on March 11. Directed by new member of the Drama Department Charles Love, a cast well keyed to both the comic arid tragic aspects of the one-act work left the audience laughing hysterically. Called an anti-play by its French author, The Hold Soprano is an experi- mental fable concerning the problem of communication, and attacks Surburbia and the difficulty of modern man to have real community. Director Charles Love said of the play, “One laughs all the way through only to gel the distinct feeling afterward, that one has been laughing at a terrible tragedy. Principal players were Jim Prescott and Charlotte Benefield as the typical British suburbanite couple and Mary Leonard and Ed Prcvitlo as their dinner guests, Bounding out the cast were Mrs. Jim Tinkey and Oayton Stephens. Romanoff mid Juliet Fur two nights in November Mercer family and friends were royally enter- tained in the mythical kingdom of Romanoff and Juliet. This delightful comedy satire by Peter Ustinov opened the theatrical season for the Mercer Players. The set, designed and built especially for this play by Charles Love, was func- tional. effective and most attractive, lip- staging the east from behind was a backward clock with six hands and numbered in both Roman and Arabic numerals, while four mechanized figures fought over who would strike the always inaccurate lime. Coupled with this fan- tastic tiirHvphxe was a combination of architectural styles drawn from all quar- ters of Europe.

Mary Leonard in her role as the typical temperamental actress provided the contrast of super fu-ialilty needed to offset the grimness of the “six characters.’- The very sparse set of a play in re- hearsal provided the background for Pirandello's sordid scenes. With its dim half-light and half-built aspect it seemed itself to repeat the author’s question of the existence of reality. Supporting cast in the family group was Jimmy Prescott as the son. Brenda Storey as the mother and Eugenia Grif- fith as the little girl. Members of the theatrical company were played by Clay ton Stephens, director; Ed Previtte, leading man; Molly Jones, a character actress and Jimmy Rachels as the juve- nile actor. Charlotte Benefield portrayed Madame Pace. Death of a Salt's man Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman came full force to the audience of the Mercer Player's Spring production giv. cn in Willingham chapel on April 2 ) and 30. The Players seemed to put their all into the last presentation of the season. The results were some gripping and heart rending scene . The story of Willie Loman, a man in his last years who has given his life to the dream of success and finds in the end only failure and finally death, is a typical American tragedy. The role pro- vided an excellent vehicle for the abili- ties of Jim Prescott who brought to it not only the salesman's slouch, and haunted air of an obi road man, hut also a depth of pathos immediately felt by the audience, Brenda Storey as Linda, Willie Lo- man’s wife, played well her part of the sympathetic and pathetic wife of a dying man. She seemed to have the audience well in hand in the scene beside Willie’s grave. Supporting the principal couple were Taylor Butler and Jim Nelson as Happy and Biff, Willie’s sons. Other member? of the cast were Charlotte Benefield as the Woman: Buck Aabill as Bernard; Frank Vaughn as Charley and Cecil Hudson as I'ncle Ben. Charles Love of the Drama Depart- ment managed to create a set very com- parable to that of the New York pro- duction, and mein hers of the audience were greeted at curtain time with a near perfect job of technical direction. Both lighting and sound effects were geared harmoniously to each scene and achieved a lack of obviousness. Miss Audrey Needles of the Drama Department di- rected the play.

On December 9, Menotli's “Amalil and the Night Visitors” was presented to the chapel audience. Prin- cipal characters in the opera were Lynelle Moulton as Amalil; Bob Van- sant as King Kaspar; Jeannette Cannon as Amahl's mother; Elbert Lee Coleman as King Meleboir; James Capcl as King Balthazar and Bruce Forlines as the page. The program was directed by Jay Thompson of the Music Department and featured a set designed by Charles Love of the Speech and Drama department. Accompanists were Mrs. Arthur Rich and Jean Marshall, Choir sings Messiah annuaILy Macon arid Mercer fans flocked to Willingham chapel on December 6 and 7 for the traditional Christmas per- formance of Handel’s Messiah which featured Beth Ann Hood and Frederick Mayer as soloists.

On .May 12 and 13 the group performed the Broadway musical Carousel with Laura Kendall as Julie and Jay Thomp- son as Billy Bigelow. Other principals were Beth Powell as Carrie Pipperridgc; Sandra Jones as Mrs. Mtillin and Fred Gunter as Enoch Snow.

Interest in these ph f« the fine arts Has recently run so high that not imly have Mercer art student turned out both quality and quantity. hut also faculty members and local members of the professions. Much of the work was done via the evening painting course? taught by arti t in residence Mrs. Mar gaiet Rice Jetre.

After awing spectators with an exhibit of her painting , sire settled down in do her part in providing opportunities for the development of thr I’nivrfsily's art talent. According to Professor Marshall DaUphertv. Art Department Chairman, an additional mem- Irer of the Art staff was just the anecdote for tlu uneven supply and demand situation in the Art Department. Third II,mr chapel has long been in need of an additional in- slructnr. prevalent opinion on campus is that Mercer has re- renlh1 undergone some sort of Renaissance as evidenced by an increased number of art exhibits accompanied by increased interest in the shows. Professor Daugherty at tributes the reawakening to an expanded program of paint ing classes which would naturally result in more paintings to exhibit and therefore more exhibits. He also said, how- Renaissance ever, that there was a large amount of art talent present on rumpus this year. December 13 was the opening date of the firs! exhibit of all this talent. A surprising number of viewers showed up in the day that followed to admire the works ranging from extreme realism to expressionism to the abstract. Many of the exhibited paintings were sold to both students and out- siders. Buddy Fleming experienced great interest in his works and sold several at prires from fifteen to fifty dollars. Among the Homing works sold were “f igure Study in Red ' and “Contemplation in Blue. The paintings bv Jim Pres- cott also proved to tie great favorites along with those of Dr. John O. Martin, an evening class Art student. The sculptures in the show were particularly interesting. Built directly in plaster, they ranged from full figures to torsos and weighed up to 200 pounds. Perhaps the most striking work in plaster was the graceful, sweeping hawk created by Jimmy Kirkpatrick. In an early spring exhibit Mercer students again showed their talent.1:, and Dr. John 0 Martin and Mrs, Martin held a joint exhibition in the late spring. Other exhibits were the Roualt figures of Christ sponsored bv the office of Religious Activities and shown in Willingham chapel and a spring quarter show of the works of Mrs. Elizabeth Piper, a local artist.

Although the tradi lion of action began with words in the form of Bev’s state of the student body message delivered in chapel early fall quarter, SGA has emerged as a more than usually effective liaison between student and administration. When fall lunch lines became unbear- ably long, SGA formally complained. The governing body was promptly accused of not thoroughly investigating the situation which could not be remedied because din- ing hall workers could not get to work earlier in order to open lunch lines sooner. SGA president Bev Bates docs not feel that the petit ion was a total failure, however. He says that even though SGA failed to gain the concession, students were aroused, and this is one step towards SGA action next fall. Another test of SGA effectiveness came with the crisis in the men’s dormitory which resulted in the resignation of Short- er hall president Hovt Farr and Roberts, hall president Gene Davidson. For awhile Assistant Bean of Men Jimmy Orr seemed to be the villain in the play, but in the final shakeup most of the furor seemed to be caused by the rigors of a daily room in- spection which male dormitory residents were forced lo undergo. The results of the uproar were a bigger voice in dormitory government for lower classmen, two new dormitory presidents and further develop- ment of SGA’s tradition of action. Another SGA project is now in progress. Miss Carol Avery, Bear Day Queen, poses in front of the grand old man himself 13S Student Senate, front row, left to right: Olive McDaniel.

After rioting the effectiveness of Mercer's past two exchange students, SGA leaders derided that the campus should never be without one. Bev started the ball rolling by approaching the social organizations with the idea. The plan was well received and Blue Key also agreed to help sponsor the student. He will probably he a Baptist from Czechoslavakia, Ceylon or white South Africa because there is little red tape to securing exchange students from these areas. The student senate meets twice a month and is headed by SGA vice-president Sam Daniel. It is said that the senate receives little publicity because it is a harmonious group, but its dining hall resolutions passed in the fall were well publicized. The reso- lutions called for earlier opening of dining hall lines and for student cooperation in tin- discouragement of line breaking. Senate BEV BATES, S.G.A.

Spring brings the elections committee out of hibernation, and the modern func- tionalism of the student center is once more decorated with garish posters and slogans, 1960 elections were haIImarked by a lack of political parties and a charge from SGA president Bev Bales that many candidates who had registered as inde- pendents actually had party hacking. An unorthodox group of candidates emerged this year under the heading of the Retarded party. The party's candidates and platform were proclaimed to Thursday morning co-opera by an outlandish poster of a nude. The slate included! Sweet Daddy Grace as candidate for the office of Director of Religious Activities and Oliver Snow as Physical Therapist, while the platform pledged continued race baiting and integra tion of social organizations.

Jim Prescott and Jimmy Nelson assisted by Charlotte Benefield and Mary Leonard entertained with a eornic de- bate. In November the Southern Regional Meet of Tau Kappa Alpha National Debate Fraternity took Mercer teams to the campus of Louisiana State Univer- sity. At this meet Bob Trammell was elected one of the 10 top speakers. He arid Nancy Childs tied for first place on the negative side, and Velmn Gene Young and Richard Davis brought back an affirmative team first place. The Trammell and Childs negative team again starred at November’s Uni- versity of South Carolina tournament, and brought back a second place. More honors came with January and the Ail Southern tournament at Agnes Scott in Atlanta. Mercer won third place over-all, while Childs and Trammell tied for fsrst place negative side. Perhaps the biggest honor to come to the Mercer teams was an invitation to compete in the Harvard debate leurna- ment in Cambridge, Massachusetts on Feh. 1-6. This was a conclave of the nation's host forensic talent, and also the biggest tournament Mercer lias ever participated in. Mercer's representatives were Velma Jean Young. Bob Trammell, .Nancy Childs and Richard Davis. At the March Camellia Invitational Tournament which is open to women debaters throughout the South, Mercer co-eds made n clean sweep, Fran Mc- Callum and Nancy Childs won first place in negative competition, whilr Velma Jean Young and Becky Hot fume took first place in affirmative competi- tion. Over-all first place also went to Mercer, and Nancy Childs won the tro- phy for the ln-si speaker at the meet. The tournament was held at the Univer- sity of South Carolina at Columbia.

Working in every department, her efforts were a prime factor in getting the book published at all. Another who worked in many capacities was freshman John Weatherly. He concentrated on the Organizations and the Joiners in an area on which few wish to concentrate. After an uncertain spring where it looked for a while as if there were to lie no more Caul- drons, Georgia Tech transferee John Black agreed to accept the top editorial post on the Cauldron for 1960-61. 142 TR1SII EUBANKS, Executive Editor n e in editorial mtfrcoe, several member softhe staff are not pictured i ' uc list their names: Mary Durden, Virginia Long, and Anna Waits, mai ]QBN WEATHERLY SOPHIA CLARK Editorial Assistant Editorial Assistant RALPH BASS Editorial Assistant IDA jam: HICKS Editorial Assistant 1« this section.

There is to be no apology for its prominence in the proper education of young people. Anyone disposed lo re- gard the physical lightly should remem- ber that the physical as well as courage and intelligence, was present at Bataan and Okinawa and persists as a part of everything that is good and true and beautiful- ItT however asks for no supremacy, knowing full well the ugly distortion hi the human being when it has an exclusive role. The balance and harmony sought by a Liberal Arts Uni- versity is an education of the whole person in which the physical takes its proper place in the unfolding of the intellectual, social, emotional and esthet- ic powers of the individual. If an education to he a liberal arts education must be of broad scope to train well-rounded individuals, who can omit the physical training? Who can separate mind and body? In rare eases in the past and present, the world has produced some terrific brains in handi- capped bodies; but for the millions of others, a well-trained mind and body is of prime necessity to conquer the stresses and strains of the todays and tomorrows. From the Grecian Age to the Atomic Age no educator has sepa- rated mind and body. No athlete is completely devoid of mentality and no genius suffer from muscle atrophy or a complete lack of neuromuscular co- ordination. Unfortunately, yesterday, to- day and tomorrow there have been and will be athletes who have not trained their menial powers, and mental giants who have not trained their muscles; hut. we sincerely hope these did not and will not be among the graduates of Mercer University. It must be admitted that Mercerians get some exercise in climbing stairs and standing in lines: but wrisc Merceriatis also know that the vigorous physical education activities arc the indispen- sable means today for national strength. We stress, lime and again, the strategic and imperative rule of muscular activity in the development of the individual: yet. we guard against an unworthy n clusivenese that would leave the stu dent devoted to strength with no eausi to serve, or to skills with no function ti perform and endurance with nothing worth lasting for. We have a required four year pro- gram of physical education fur tin- liberal arts degree. We believe vigorous physical activity and the learning of physical skills is essential for all and is a necessity every quarter a student is registered at Mercer. We emphasize the physical development neuromuscular coordination, organic and muscular strength, endurance and flexibility; and we heavily favor the learning of recrea- tional skills. Almost daily supervision of the vigorous sports activities increases the organic development, strength arid endurance of each participant, and pro moles the development nf correct fun- damental locomotor skills. Every student is given opportunities to learn the skill- and strategies of various recreational activities—tennis, golf, badminton, vol- leyball, archery and table tennis—throe activities that should play a major role in every adult's leisure. Our men and women of tomorrow will have increased leisure, but also additional anxieties and worries of worldly pressures with the possible re- sult—more mental anti emotional fa- tigue. Worry kills man. because man fears and worries, not with his intellect alone, but with his whole hotly. Plague?, which were once man's great enemies, have been fought fairly successfully. Now real enemies are continuous worry, fears, hales, nerve? on edge, sleepless- ness, passions and vague anxieties.

Carter, a forward who gained Hon- orable mention Little All-American hon- ors in his second season w ith Mercer, left a better than 20-pninl-per-game av- erage. Finch averaged almost fifteen points for his two year stint. A young team returned to try to perk up the fortunes of the Bears in the coming seasons. A total of ten freshmen and sophomores dominated the roster, while only two juniors and three seniors were out for basket hall. Doug Hart is headed the list of relum- ing seniors. Harris, a guard throughout Ins college cage career stepped into the unfamiliar role of forward after the graduation of Finch and Carter, He led the team in rebounding while scoring at an 11 point per game clip as a senior, Harris was also the first Mercer ath- lete in recent years to be elected captain of both the two major sports, basket- ball and baseball. Two oilier starters. Tommy Johnson and Ray Ranks, also ended I heir round- ball activity at the Baptist institution after tills season. Together Johnson and Ranks scored on the average of 16 points between them in each contest with John- son operating from a guard slot and Ranks working from the pivot. The one big gun that came out of the junior class was Donnie Veal, who led Cheerleaders Linda ICatson. Kirn Small.

The graceful six-one junior led in field goals attempted, field goals made, fret! throws made anti per-game-average. He was third in rebounds while holding down the guard slut with Johnson. Veal also led the team in personal fouls and in tinies-l h rn wn-out -n (-games. Sophomore mainstays were Frankie Edwards and Jim Mi It on, who both played forward. Edwards averaged close to If) points a game, counting mostly on a patented jump shot from the foul line, while finishing close behind Harris in the rebounding column.

These three men along with Richard Fritch ami J. W. Spivey scored over three hundred points over the course of the season in spot and starting assignments.

Norman “Mr. Everything” Carter had gradu- ated. taking with him a 22 point per game average in basketball and an 8 S record on the mound for the baseball team, Carter also compiled a batting average of .323, playing right field when he was not pitching.

A complete overhaul from the coach to many of the players was the order of lhe day, and the season saw the team start with only two of the players from the preceding year and more than twice as many matches scheduled. Fred Mohr, the German exchange student that had en- deared himself to Merccrians in the space of one year, was gone, and with him (he best tennis player the Baptist insti- tution has seen since Buddy Moore was in residente. George Brown was the sophomore whiz that led the Bruin netters into many a forbuding lair that included such veri- table powerhouses as Georgia, Auburn, Kentucky and David son. These matches produced some undeniably fantastic displays of the Macabre. But out of the shambles came cause look to the future for hope, for with a year’s experience and a tempered schedule, in the future the Rears might be able to produce something better than a dismal 3-10 record. Joe Bocknell, previously undefeated in two years of intra mural tennis, played only half the matches, vet led the team in victories with live, lie lost only once. Bee knell was ham pc red most of the season with bad legs. Brown. who played number one man. finished with four singles victories as did the men who played No. 2, 3, and 6. They were Rabun Matthews, Bilsy Lucas and Marvin Pipkin. The final tabulation looks bad in retrospect. But it must be taken into consideration that five matches were against SEC schools, and another was against a Southern Confer- ence foe. This along with the fact that four of the six man squad were intra-mural players before the start of the sea- son, makes the future a hopeful one For the Mercer netters.

The farts do not support such a contention. This essay does not advocate the total abolition of the rratcrnitv system, hut attempt to studv the unfavor- able aspects of fraternities which hinder rather than pro- mote the real purpose of Greek brotherhoods. One of the major criticisms of the fraternity svstem i that rather than existing as a situation in which members experience real brotherhood, the chapters rise above the individual members becoming end in themselves, over organized, and concerned with cut-throat competition with other groups.

I'rats generaliv have written standards lor judging excellence that are validated by inclusiveness and past experience, Discriniiimtion is a natural process, hut il can lie confined to less arbitrary selection by standards ami values. Using these standards, fraternities and sororities, with their high degree of organisation, rarely commit the sin of unfair discrimination. Limits friendships? One minute please. For example, take Carolyn, not in a sorority. Carolyn is likeable, attractive and has a multitude of speaking acquaintance?. Speaking and smiling. however, are not my definition of friendship. A friendship is a give and take relationship, a closeness that invites lasting acceptance and sharing. Jane isn't a purl of many of these because in the re- nowiied rush of college lift- there has been little lime to drive very deeply into those around her, and without the wmmnn bond of fraternity, there has hern small motiva- tion. Her friendships arc probably with those five or six giiU in nearby dorm rooms, and these were formed bv diministanrc! of proximity rather than by common interests. ConsequentiV, these friendships might not be Listing. Jan is in a sorority that she pledged because she met in it girl? who had sundry qua! il ties that invited her friendship.

She also has a tie with other Creeks, and she has independ- ent friends as well.

Allhough it is difficult to say just what were the results of this innovation, K.A. did come out with one of the largest pledge classes on campus. Two Christmas parties were in order for the Kappa Alphas. The one held at the Howard Commnnity Center was strictly for fun. while a joint effort with the Phi Mu's produced a party for orphans com- plete with Santa Claus and gifts. At the Community Center party which was pri- marily in honor of the pledges, Steve Smith, pledge trainer, received a number of lire extinguishers, the consumer item sold by the pledges to raise money. On January 19 the annual Robert E. Lee Convivium banquet was held in the Lanier hotel. Mercer Art professor Tony Stansfield was speaker at the affair.

A Bohemian theme prevailed at the modern day Kappa Sig fall rush party held at Baconsfidd Club House, and Bsconsfield was also the scene of their Sweetheart Darter. The Black and While Spring formal took place at the Perry Country Club where Janice Cooper was named the newr sweetheart. In- formal parlies included the South Sea Island partv and a party at Jonesco with music furnished by Gladys Williams. A somewhat unusual event was the softball game between the Kappa Sig's and the ADPi’s. After giving the girls twenty points and with T. P. Haines as umpire, the score at the end of nine innings was a t ie 24 to 24. The Kappa Sig's placed second in Basketball winter quarter. The leader of these individualists is Stew Taylor with Jerry Lewis next in command, Gordon Dun- can keeps the; records; George Crawford takes the money and Preston Gilmore trains the pledges. If Hair Day sacrifice Kappa Sig pledges plus signs were presented to the great hear. The big sign in the middle advertises the fraternity's majority decision against studying. MEMBERS of Ihc White Rose order had a hip year for parties- Besides the usual formal affairs, sonic leu or more informal flings were held at various opportune mo- menls. and the fourteen pledges that the group took in this year went about awe stricken at the mass of activity. The first gala affair of the year was the barberue dance- rush party combination at the Carriage Room of the Pine- brook Inn. Speeches were given after dinner by Lambda Chi president Wayne Jones and alumnus Bon Mims, At an informal party in January. President Wayne Jones. Vice President Tom Bennett.

Besides the weekly contest with the SAE Lions over the back room at Pitiehronk, the Willards also staged a Shipwreck Ball rush party fall quar- ter. The Davis House was the scene of much re- joicing the Sunday night of pledging as the broth- ers toasted to the health of their sixteen new pledges, and the following week the chapter was honored by the Phi Dell Mother's Club with an open house at the lodge. Winter quarter informal entertainment consisted of fish frys at Blue Bell lodge, but the big highlight was the Sweetheart Ball. The affair was held at the Perry Country Club and the Kingsmen played for the dancers. Linda Watson was serenaded as the new sweetheart. Spring was ushered in with Phi Dell Founder’s Day activities, a banquet and dance on March 25 at Idle Hour country club.

Entertainment included the usual gambler’s games and dancing to the music of Mad Sam. At the Sweetheart Ball in December, Miss Eleanor Haynes of Mercer received her pin and red roses and was proclaimed sweetheart of the Leo s. Winter quarter was filled with muck studying, long fraternity meetings, philo- sophical discussion and constant striving with the academical aspect on the hill; but there was time to hold a party in the Unity room of the Ijinier Hotel where everyone really is united from necessity. The big highlight of the quarter was the Founder’s Day buffet supper held at iht- I.odgr ami attended by members and alumni.

Wesley Foundation ’ I 'HE MEMBERS of Wesley Foundation worked hard this term to continue a program of religious activities for the Methodist Students of Mercer. Some of these ac- tivities include field trips to the controversial Kmnonia farm and to the Methodist Children’s Home here in Macon. Members wanted to encounter problems facing the Chris- tian community today and aspects of the church not gen- erally known. Programs were presented on race relations, the Christian ns an “outsider,” freshmen problems, “Christmas Chris- lions and Calvary Christians.” and other subjecta relative to the Methodist student. Work was started to work with drama in presenting programs and the two publications. Wesleyan and Contact continued 1« he published.

EDITOR’S OTE Buddy Hurl, one-little Cluster editor and mentor of rumpus Journalism for his tenure at Mercer, has said that anyone willing Ic edit a campus publication for one year, should lie allowed to write anything lie wants to in its final issue. If. Buddy urges, it is nothing more than 'This is Alice, this is Jerry. Alice meets Jerry.” etc. I have edited this particular publication for two years in a row—a fate from which it may never recover—but ] do not choose to exercise the prerogative left me Ly Buddy. Instead, may I say the Cauldron has meant a lol to me as on individual, and I hope it has meant something lo someone else, I look with great expectation for our new administration lo pump blood into campus journalism which is al- most dead from anemia. I hope my legacy on this publication does not dim the honorable history of it. More than these. I wish that coming editors will be as fortunate as f in getting loyal and competent help from students like those who have helped me. In this past year, the Cauldron was blessed for the second year in a row with the unstinting efforts of Copy edi- tor Sharon Strong. She has worked long and hard in producing some of the really good moments this book contains. New-comer Trish Eubanks rescued the volume from a mid-year slump. Her help in any phases of the Cauldron have been invaluable. Organization man John Weatherly also pitched in with the Joiners, and wrote the story accompanying our re- ligion spread. John was uf such great aid that he busted himself out of school at the end of the winter quarter. The others who aided in the creation of this book are too numerous to thank in this space, hut we do.
