The Pheonix SWATHMORE COLLEGE, SWATHMORE, PA. ' ■a A P ril Board Confirms William S. Bundy as New President; Ex-State Dept.

In other action the Board approved William Bundy as president of the College and overruled the faculty passage of dormitory autonomy, and passed a resolution calling for the strict en- forcement of all college social rules. Long time Board observers saw the recent actions of the Board as a awing of the proverbial pendulum to campus problems, although they were quick to point out that the recent decisions didn ' t necessarily in- dicate a repressive attitude on the part of the Board. Walli3, who is at present Vice- President of Providence National Bonk and who was Treasurer for the Corporation before his elevation to the chairmanship, is well known for his outspoken views on campus RICHARD B.

When recently questioned about the amount of drugs, liquor, and sex on campus, he is reported to have stated that there is a time and a place for that sort of thing. He indicated, however, that he doesn ' t feel that Swathmore College between the ages of seventeen and twenty-three is the time and place for it. As he pointed out, Swathmore is first and foremost an academic institution.

In a prepared statement Dean Husks explained that the raids were ordered in response to Board demands that the College either enforce exist- ing rules consistently or abolish them. The sex rule states that the Col- lege cannot condone or permit the use of its facilities for the purpose of sexual intercourse.

He attended the public schools in neighboring Darien and summered in Kennibunkport Beach. Maine, before graduoting cum laude from Harvard in 1953 with a major in Political Science, After a two-year stint in the , Coast Guard Mr. Bundy resumed his edu- cation and received his Ph.D in In- ternational Relations at Georgetown in 1959. Shortly thereafter the youthful new president joined the staff of the World Book Encyclopedia as an executive vice-president, a post he held until January, 1964, when he was tapped by President Johnson to succeed Roger Hilsman in the vital post of Assistant Secretary of State for Far Eastern Affairs Asked at the time why he had picked the re- latively inexperienced Bundy for the sensitive foreign-policy position, President Johnson reportedly com- mented that I was impressed by his work on an in-depth study of South Viet Nam for the 1963 World Book Annual. DOVE While a member of the State De- partment Mr. Bundy distinguished himself as an outspoken dove and opponent of plans to bomb North Viet Nam, a position he held until February, 1965, when he changed his mind and enthusiiislirully supported President Johnson ' s decision to be- gin bombing He also firmly endorsed Mr. Johnson ' s subsequent decision to halt the bombing in March, 1968. Since leaving the State Depart- ment in January Mr. Bundy has been a consultant without portfolio with the Brookings Institute in Washing- ton When asked in an exclusive Pheonix interview exactly what his responsibilities have been in his new assignment, Mr. Bundy smiled broad- and equipped, I consult,, what Mr Bundy the that his interest ation goes back to his student days n Darien, when he was chosen Prin- lpal for the Day after winning an ■ subject, What (Conti Pag Dean Kicks Off New Policy Solving Admissions Crisis ' Round and ' round she goes, and where she ' ll stop nobody knows, bellowed Dean of Admissions Fred Hadenough as he kicked off Swathmore College ' s first annual admissions applicants auction last week in Scott Amphitheatre. The auction is a landmark in col- lege admissions policy. It solves in one fell swoop both the controversies over the composition of incoming classes, and the enormous backlog of work resulting from the crisis disruption. The wheeling and dealing Mr. Hadenough incorporated the carnival wheel and faro table into his profession after weeks of soul- searching, bargaining, and a quick rereading of Luce and Raiffa ' s Gomes and Decisions. The prominent dean ' s first tack had been to adopt an entirely non- discriminatory admissions policy, but Board of Managers balked o Managers class, they argued, would require an unjustified expansion of the foreign languages department. Confronted by the intransient Board, the enterprising Mr. Haden- ough fell back on that touchstone of American mythology — free com- petition — with its inevitable corol- laries of rugged individualism, the greatest good for the greatest num- ber, enlightened self-interest, and the survival of the fittest. He devised the following system whose model is the method of men ' s room choosing: 1. Each applicant is given a num- ber of points for each of several desirable traits or achievements. 2. There is a quota of students ad- mitted for each point category, e.g. 25 fifty point students, 109 seventy point students, etc. (This ensures a heterogeneous class). 3.

Cross Comes to Swarthmore Searching for Honesty, Directness President - elect Robert D. Cross was on campus Thursday afternoon to meet with students, fac- ulty, and the press in a series of informal and candid sessions, for the first time since his appointment was announced Tuesday. In a conference with the press in Commons. Cross stated that it was a great privilege and pleasure to be asked to come back to Swarthmore Answering a question concerning mil- itary recruiting Cross remarked, I don ' t see the great need for military recruiting on campus.

It can be done off-campus, he con- In reply to a question about his designs on Swarthmore, Cross said, I ' m not arrogant enough to come in saying that I have here in my Cline, Woodland To Take Posts In Black Admissions, Counseling pocket a series of plans. Cross noted it was important to maximize the number of ways students and faculty can gel to see the president when they have something to speak about. ' ' Concerning continuing teaching, Cross commented, administrators don ' t determine who teaches courses, the faculty does. I wasn ' t brought in by the History Department. Cross described the provost as a person I have to get along with very well. I don ' t see it as a person who is going to protect the president, but rather sharing a job that has grown too large for one person. ON FAITH After meeting the faculty Cross addressed the College community in Clothier noting, I think it ' s good natured of you to take that much applause on faith. Robert M. Brown- ing, chairman of the Board of Man- agers, remarked that Dr. Cross filled the rigorous specifications we con- sidered desirable. Remarking that he took a very good gamble coming out of graduate school to Swarthmore, Cross hopes to take advantage of the opportunity i greet studen for the rest of my career subject to the consent of the constituency and thanked the search committee for its good judgment. ' ■Formal and informal interchange is the theme of my relation with students here, noted Cross, who stressed the College must ask hard questions which will be answered other.

Cline and Horace Woodland, have accepted the positions of As- ; Dean of Admissior selor Thursday. In addition to his duties in the admissions office, Cline will serve on the Ad Hoc Bl=ck Admissions Committee. He will assume his duties in mid-July, leaving his guidance counselor post at Boulder High School in Boulder, Colorado. Woodland will arrive in September as a counselor primarily for black students. He has been designated director of the post-enrollment pro- gram for risk students and will be a member of the Black Studies Committee. He comes to Swarthmore from the Philadelphia Board of Edu- Dean of Admissions Frederick A Harjjadon commented on Cline ' s selection in a Phoenix interview, I think he ' s exceptionally well quali- fied for the position given that he was educa ted at an institution very similar to Swarthmore and that he has nine years of secondary school experience. We ' re very happy that he has accepted this position. SWINGER Hargadon indicated that Cline was looking forward to coming to Swarthmore and to the opportunity to make valuable c n.ributions to the College as a whole, and specifically to the black community, In an aside, Hargadon said that his new assistant is a great guy and probably something of a swinger. Mike Smith, spokesman for the Swarthmore Afro-American Students Society, made the following statement concerning the two men: Mr. Woodland is a man of con- siderable dedication in using his tal- vith black people counselor because of his experience wtfh the Area-Wide Council and the Philadelphia Board of Edueation. In both these positions, he has worked with black youth and curriculum and thus can provide brilliant and rele- vant insight in both these a reas. SASS believes that Mr. Woodland is a much-needed addition to the Swarthmore community and our or- ganization is very happy with his selection. SASS is equally satisfied with the designation of Mr. Cline as the Black Dean of Admissions. He brings experience, youth, vigor, imagination, and a willingness to learn and to help black people. Cline graduated from Oberlin Col- lege in 1955 and holds an MA. degree The Phoenix SWARTHMORE COLLEGE, SWARTHMORE, PA. Saturday, May 10, 1969 Emotional SAC Meeting Ends In Walkout Over Board Ruling fro the Uni sity of Colorado. He is presently working on his Ph.D. in German Literature. In the summers of 1964 and 1965 Cline was the American teacher in charge of an honors exchange pro- gram in foreign languages sponsor- ed by the University of Indiana. He has been teaching languages at Bould- er High. Woodland is a member of Lincoln University ' s class of 1931 and holds an MA. in Sociology at Drew Uni- versity. He did further work in so- ciology at the University of Wash- ington and extensive study in the field of education at the University of Pennsylvania. In a highly emotional meeting Wednesday night, the Student Affairs Committee failed to reach consensus on various issues surround- ing the Board of Managers ' failure to change their April decision on SAC regulation of dormitory auton- omy. The meeting t nded with the walkout of most of the Committee ' s student members who felt that their presence lent a legitimacy to SAC ' s decisions that they wished to with- hold. The Committee tried to reach con- sensus on a reaction to the Board ' s decision to continue the requirement of a majority passage of SAC on any dorm hours extending beyond Board Delays Dorm Action After Pre-Meeting with SAC tly qi lificd for. the of Prior to the Board of Man- agers meeting on Tuesday after- noon, the Board ' s Student Activities Committee held an informal meeting with the faculty-student Student Af- Benghiat Cites Turk Conspiracy In Attaining 179th Editorship In one of the shortest and most confusing elections in Phoenix history, Russell Benghiat was elected 179th editor of The Phoenix Thursday night. Opposing the Mystery Candidate and that perennial underdog, the Chairman of the Editorial Board and Publisher. Benghiat won by a tech- nicality still being disputed. Although the Mystery Candidate was not ve- toed by a two- thirds majority, Ben- journal. Breaking long standing tra- dition, Benghiat promises no Sun- day Supplement, in an effort to stare reality in the face. The now formidable grapevine will continue to be cultivated, and beat editors revived. Faculty reaction to the election was mixed. Student reaction was mixed up. I really freaked out when I heard it, exclaimed one nameless freshman ' girl. One of the few students at Swarth- more who can describe himself as a bom Turk, Benghiat ascribes this quality to heredity rather than in- clination. Barberouge, as he is af- fectionately known, was born in New York, the son of an itinerant janis- sary. He lived in New City, the larg- est unincorporated hamlet in New York State, before attending Commi autonomy. The board took no further action on dorm autonomy at its meeting be- cause, according to Acting President Edward K. Cratsley, no clear insti- tutional rationale for 24-hour open house has yet been developed. The SAC subcommittee on 24-hour open house is considering the possibility of developing such a rationale. Board members saw no reason to modify the Board ' s position on SAC voting procedures for dorm auton- omy proposals {at present a majority of SAC is needed to pass a proposal which exceeds SAC guidelines) due to the inextricable ii ' twining of voting procedure and 24-hour open of Mrs. Sue by Ann Keichelderfer SAC guidelines instead of the two- thirds veto policy recommended, by SAC and the faculty. (See Board story on this page.) Chairing the meeting, Dean of Men Robert A. Barr read the Board ' s reply to the faculty statement of last Wednesday. It indicated that the Board could not change its decision on dorm autonomy because they were unable to disentangle the issues of 24-hour open house and SAC voting procedures. Dean Barr suggested thai they didn ' t want to take any action that they felt might legitimize open After reading the Board ' s commun- ication, Barr commented on the ap- parent chang e in the Board ' s reasons for changing the voting procedure. During the meeting of the Board ' s Student Activities Committee, he re- ported, two Board members had slated that they had recognized the possibility of 24-hour open house in- cluded in the two-thirds veto pro- cedure. I think that is hindsight, Barr commented. I think there are some Board members who think they were a great deal wiser than they His explanation led to his disclos- ure that he had heard that some members of Student Council felt that he had not been completely honest in presenting the Board ' s reasoning. He then stated that he felt he could not continue to operate in such an at- mosphere, where his honesty was in question, and so he withdrew from the Committee, until he can discuss his relationship with SAC with Pres- ident-elect Cross. The committee pass- ed a vote of confidence for the way Mr. Barr has led the Committee this after he eft. ist of the meeting was de- voted to a debate on the legitimacy of the Board ' s decision, and what re- action SAC should officially take on that decision. The question we have to deal with, one member comment- ed, is what we do when we strongly disagree with a decision by the John Braxton, Student Council president and a member of SAC, presented statements from SC and the student members of SAC on that (Continued on Page 3) Thoi Ti.n of the Swarthmore. The new ed r joined The Phot and aptly on iril Fool story Student Activities Committee. The Board further decided to invite a gmup o ' representative faculty mem- to the next meeting of the ' .udent Activities Committee to dis- cuss dorm autonomy. In the morning meeting, Student Activities Committee members in- dicated that the Board modified dorm autonomy at its April meet- ing because it wanted both to avoid moving directly into 24-hour open house and to implement immediatelv proposals for changes in social ruk If there is any unc. ' nt. t all, we should move delibetaU ' y rather than with a leap, said one Board SC Discusses Dorm Autonomy, Plans to Press 2 3 Veto Issue Student Council met twice last Wednesday to consider action on the issue of dorm autonomy, as a result of the Board of Managers ' decision to let the Student Affairs Committee voting procedure on dorm proposals stand. In Council ' s morning meeting., two alternative courses of action were discussed extensively Deborah Bond proposed that Student Council ap- point three additional student mem- bers to SAC in order to establish the idea that students should have the effective role in determining rules governing social life and other af- fairs, which according to Council members, concern primarily students. Bond indicated that the move would also make clear what groups have the power to determine the propor- tions of students to faculty on college Arguing that there was too little time left in the semester for any substantive -action on SAC voting procedure to be taken anyway, other Council members recommended that Most of the discussion revolved around the possible ramifications of the proposals. It was generally felt that the packing maneuver would not be permitted by the faculty-adminis- tration members of SAC, in which case SC would refuse to appoint SAC members, resulting in the cessation of SAC ' s activities. It was hoped that such a showdown would induce the Board of Managers and the ad- ministration to make SAC ' s powers more legitimate by recognizing the two-thirds veto procedure. The afternoon meeting was called so that all Council members could be present to vote on the proposed move, and the student members of SAC were asked to participate. The latter proposed to take independent action with the same purpose in mind (see SAC story) and Council therefore decided to abandon its orig- inal plan to avoid duplicating efforts. The following resolution was passed at that meeting: Since a decision-making body must have the approval and support of those who are affected by its de-
