The H U N T I N G T O N I A N Vol. 51 Huntington College, January 21, 1966 No. 6 Study Just Released H. C. Dropout Level Below Average Finals Even loo Much For Interplanetary Invaders Figures just released show that Huntington College has a higher percentage of entering freshmen graduating than the nation’s colleges and universities as a whole. This fact was brought out in a paper by Mrs. Mary Hayden, wife of Bible professor Dr. Roy Hayden. The study was based on the class entering Huntington for the 1961- 62 school year. Of the 153 in the class, nearly 48 percent have by William Schmidt A small Venution space craft screamed across millions of miles at nearly the speed of light. It stopped over a large wooded area, hovered for a moment, and then dropped to a quiet landing on a planet called Earth. A small hand leached for a switch marked “ put-tersparken” and moved it to the “ often” position. A voice boomed ever the ship’s intercom system, “ Achtung, crew prepare to disembark!” An unamplified voice answered back, “ How many times must I ask you not to call me crew, this is only a two man ship.” - - and so the world we know was to be searched and explored by those two fearless soldiers of Venus - - Hanz and Fritz. The two four foot travelers set foot on the soil and looked about. "Ach, Hanz, der iss no udder plase any where near dis plase, any thing like dis plase, so dis must be der plase!” The voice came from a being who resembled a miniature German soldier of 1940 origin. “ Yah, dis anzers der description in our charts. Let us look for their scat of government vich iss marked administration builtink, on das map.” The crew moved past a large Duilding with many windows and on to a hard surfaced path leading toward two other buildings. “Here it iss, das sign sayss dis is der right plase. Let us go in, Hanz, and find der fuh.er of dis plase and take him in custody as ve are told to do. Schnell, schnell!” On this evening of evenings our two friends (?) find no one at home in the “ government” building. It seems they happened to land on January 21. “Ach, no one iss about. Let us make our vay in der darkness to der udder buildinks and look for zomeone in scharge.” "Yah! dis von looks interestink. Vas iss los? L-i-b-r-a-r-y.” The pair moved toward the center building of three in a row stealthily. As they drew closer Council Plans Winter Carnival The Student Council is planning a Winter Carnival to be held February 4. There will be movies, skating, and sledding, as well as : now sculpture contests. Tentative schedules call for a film to start the Carnival. Much outdoor activity is planned. Sled races include down hill races and team races with several people pulling one sled. Couples will build snow men in a timed contest and the winner will reign over the Winter Carnival as King and Queen. graduated or will graduate this year from Huntington. Other studies show the national no m to be 45 percent or less. Only 13 percent of the class transferred to other colleges and only 26 percent of the total drop-outs were transfers. Transfers to get majors not offered here and transfers because of financial difficulty were the only significant reasons revealed for changing schools, and the per cent for each reason was nearly equal. Poor scholarship caused over 18 percent of the entrants that year to leave, while over 13 percent are enrolled for a fifth year and plan to graduate this year. A necessity for working part-time and carrying fewer courses is thought to be the reason for much of the fifth year work. Of the 21 in for a fifth year, 16 are men. The reasons for students leaving Huntington were scholastic failure by 35 percent of the total number of drop-outs; transfer by 26 percent; marriage or family, 10 percent; lack of motivation, 8.5 percent; discipline, 5 percent; and other reasons, 7.5 percent. Over 50 percent of the transfers left to get majors not offered here. Three students went to nurses to the buildings the night air became filled with voices reciting many lofty and strange things of earthly knowledge and arts. “ Listen already Hanz, dey shtudy tso many tinks. I can hear science and mathematics and arts and history and warfare and current news.” “ Yah, unt over here dey shpeak off our visits to dis plase. It vould Country Not Divided On Viet Nam Rep. Roush Calls 14-B 'Controversial' Congressman J. Edward Roush (D. - Ind.) was the featured convocation speaker January 7. Roush spoke on Viet Nam and on what he called the most politically controversial issue, the repeal of Section 14-B of the Taft-Hartley Act. Roush, who has served under presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson, stated that the blame for Viet Nam can be placed on any administration since Roosevelt, but placing the blame is not important - - solving the problem is what is irr/iortant. There are two possible solutions: leave or go all out. The Congressman listed several “ obvious facts” he said all should realize about Viet Nam. North Viet Nam has always wanted the south to surrended and has always said the United States must withdraw before it will talk peace. The United States is in South Viet Nam to save it from communist domination, not to save face. The United States believes all of Southeast Asia will fall if South Viet Nam does. The U. S. has no desire to subjugate Viet Nam or any other foreign soil. The United States has sought peace talks 16 times since 1962, but each attempt has been labeled trickery or propaganda by the Viet Cong. The United States is capable of keeping its commitments in Viet Nam. A few protestors do not mean the United States is divided. The country is willing to protect any country’s freedom. Echoing present party lines, Roush stated we are now making an all out attempt Tor peace, but if we are again rejected, our only alternative is to carry the war to the enemy. Roush voiced his approval of repealing section 14-B of the Taft Hartley Act, which allows states to pass right-to-work laws. He said the repeal would not create compulsory union shops, but it would give labor and management the right to negotiate whether a shop will be a union shop. The majority of the workers would have to approve granting of any union shop. A right-to-work law does not protect a worker’s rights, the representative said. The nonunion minority restrict the majority in negotiation. Also, right-to wor k laws deny union shops even when the majority want one. Roush said we cannot close our eyes to waste of resources, lack of funds for education and higher education, poverty, civil rights, and elderly people with staggering medical bills, even if a solution requires government involvement and expense. Roush said a legislator votes with five influences in mind: His constituency, budget, the country’s good, party views, and personal judgment (which usually but not always follows party lines). With these in mind, he voted against highway beautification, and Appalachian poverty program, the foreign aid program, and some other administrative bills. The Huntington alumnus challenged the students to accept the challenge of this day, to take advantage of the benefits of our God and our country, and to protect our heritage. Roush has spoken at Huntington College before, but this was his first political speech on campus. He was sponsored by the Young Democrats. tseem dat dey know off us.” “ I fear dese peple. Here is stored the knowledge off all ages and off all das universe. Can ve take dem alone?” “ Unt look at der size of dem, too. Nine, ve cannot take them alone, nor vid any off our soldiers.” “ Den lat us flee!” In their great haste the two lifted their vehicle into the air with a great belch of fire and smoke. The only trace of them on earth was the burned area in the woods where they took off, in the college woods. And so it was, that a small student body with its great store of knowledge at exam time saved the world from domination by an advanced and fearsome race from another world. training. About 25 percent of the transfers found it more economical to go to schools closer to home or where a spouse was working. One student went to a Bible college to get a more “ spiritual’ atmosphere, and other class membersr transferred for unknown reasons. Financial difficulties influenced approximately 10 percent of the entering class to transfer or quit altogether. These constitute 20 percent of the drop-outs. No males left for marriage and family, but 24 percent of the leaving females left for this reason. Lack of motivation caused seven to leave, four were expelled for discipline, three left for health, one for military service, and one ior an excellent job opportunity. Dr. DeWitt Baker, Huntington president, stated recently that the findings for H. C. closely parallel those of other similar studies. Dr. Gerald Swaim, acting academic dean, recently expressed his pleasure and surprise at the favorable results of the survey. He believes that facts repudiate the mistaken idea that many students use H. C. for a junior college before moving on. The results of this study will be used by the Institutional Research Committee, which is studying requirements and course offerings. It is hoped that higher entrance requirements adopted in the last lew years, better screening, and curriculum offerings commensurate with present needs will further decrease the drop-out percentage. Mrs. Hayden’s sources for the study included registrar’s records, classification sheets, individual files, questionnaires sent to former students, and personal interviews. Dr. Swaim noted that the Administration and Institutional Research Committee were very grateful to Mrs. Swaim for the report, which was prepared as a term research paper for a graduate level methodology of educational research course at St. Francis College, Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Page 2 THE HUNTINGTONIAN January 21, 1966 Taxes Go Up North Central Co-ordinator Visits Huntington WASHINGTON - - Your pay envelope will be thinner after January 1. The reason: An increase in Social Security Taxes, according to the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. If you earn $6,600 or more a year, your tax will jump 59 per cent or $103; you will pay $277.20. If you earn less, the tax jump will be less. The tax increase was enacted Logos Needs Literary Material Walking around on the Hunting-ton College campus in embroyonic torpor a r e ideas that could change the world. These pupae of potential power are the unwritten essays, short stories, and poems that lie incubating in the minds of H. C. students who have been thinking of offering contributions to the Logos but who have not yet found the time to hatch them out in any sort of orderly form. The second edition of Huntington’s literary publication - - t h e Logos - - will go to Dress late this coming spring. The Creative Writers Club - - sponsor of the magazine - - announced recently that March 1, 1986, will be the cutoff date for contributions to the 1966 . Logos. Contributions are sought from any member of the student body, faculty, or administration at Huntington College. After finishing your masterpiece, present it to June Calen, president of the Creative Writers Club, or to its sponsor, Mr. H'ammel. Any kind of literary creativity will be accepted and considered for publication in the Logos as well as cartoons that express meaningful social, political, or philosophical ideas. All efforts will be judged in closed meetings of the board of judges. All manuscripts will be returned to th e contributors (whether accepted for publication or not). in the last session of Congress concomitant with Medicare and legislation raising Social Security benefits. Under the law, the tax will rise periodically to a top of $372.90 in 1987. However, if past trends continue, Congress will add more benefits to Social Security, and by 1987 the top tax might be nearer $1,000 a year. This prospect is not unlikely. The AFL-CIO convention at San Francisco this month called for a doubling of Social Security taxes to help pay for the proposed 50 percent increase in benefits. The Social Security tax has been one of the fastest rising of all our taxes. The top tax on an individual next year will be more than eight times what it was at the start in 1937. It was then $30. Job Hunting? The 1966 “ Summer Employment Directory,” just off the press, contains information on 45,000 summer ,iob openings throughout the United States and Canada. Co lege students are invited by employers listed to make application now. The greater increase in jobs for 1966 is at resorts, summer camps, and summer theatres. National parks, ranches, business and industry, government, and restaurants also need help. Students can earn from about $300 to $1,500 during the season; salaries are up $100 to $250 in some jobs. Of particular interest to employers are willing workers who will stay the entire season. Other qualifications often desired are experience, musical talent, knowledge of langauges, and at least sophomore standing. To obtain detailed information on 45,000 summer job openings for 1966 and tips on making application, ask for “ Summer Employment Directory” at the Student Aids Office or send $3 to National Directory Service, Dept.

Faculty Women Have Meeting The Huntington College Faculty Women held their January meeting recently at the home of Miss Edna Shipley, 905 Himes Street. Miss Irene Bergdall, Mrs. M. I. Burkholder, and Mrs. Richard Hassan assisted Miss Shipley in entertaining. An impromptu fun program, with each person participating in some part, was enjoyed by the group. The program included humorous and serious musical numbers, interesting Christmas gifts were explained, a story presented, and members participating in a debate. Dainty refreshments were served by the committee. Those enjoying the evening other than the hostess committee were: Mrs. DeWitt Baker, Mrs. Ralph Bealer, Miss Ruth Bixel, Mrs. Roger Buzzard, Mrs. Wes Christian, Mrs. Paul Cairl, Dr. Roxy Lef-iorge, Mrs. Robert Paine, Mrs. Gerald Swaim, Mrs. Ray Zimmerman, Mrs. Carl Zurcher, and Miss Dawn Betterly. The March meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Charles Brady on the Clear Creek Road. Mrs. Glenn Palmer, Mrs. Ray Zimmerman, and Mrs. Carl Zurcher will serve as co-hostesses. by Marie Kariger Dr. John Fadenrecht, area coordinator of the North Central Association of Colleges and Sec ondary Schools, visited Huntington College November 30. The coordinator’s assistance can have important effects on the College program. Providing services to colleges which wish to improve their programs, Fadenrecht carries ideas from one institution to another. He assists local study groups in formulating their problems, sometimes recommends methods for attacking those problems, and aids in the North Central Study on Liberal Arts program. Fadenrecht addressed the faculty concerning new developments in higher education. He discussed study abroad, honors programs, problems resulting from increasing college enrollments, policies regarding student admission, and realignment of college curricula to eliminate subject matter now being taught in more adequate high schools. Meeting informally with other groups, Fadenrecht discussed pertinent questions and exchanged ideas with the Curriculum Committee, Heritage of the Past Committee, Institutional Research Committee, and Academic Affairs Committee. Dean of the College of Wheaton College, Fradenrecht received his undergraduate degree from May-ville (N. Dak.) State Teachers College. He holds the master of arts degree from the University of North Dakota and the doctor of education degree in teacher training curriculum from the University of Colorado. He also studied at the University of Kansas and at the University of Chicago. His teaching experience includes public schools in North Dakota; Tabor College, Hillsboro, Kansas; and University of Colorado. He served as director of student teachers at Wheaton College before becoming dean in 1950. The North Central study group is a cooperative organization of 54 schools in a thirteen-state area served by the NCA. It is designed to help institutions improve various aspects of their educational programs. The work is coordinated by a central office which seeks to maintain a constant flow of ideas and information about higher education. Institutions are directly assisted by coordinators who visit the campuses each year and by participation in summer workships at which faculty from member colleges work on special problems. Each college maintains a local study committee which annually selects one problem to work on during the academic year. Study areas of special interest include faculty salaries, calendar (trimester or midwinter term), curriculum, and faculty committees and college organizations. The study has aided in effective development of new courses in general education, preparation of faculty handbooks on counseling, and evaluation and appraisal of insti-tional programs. The NCA study group has existed since 1941. Huntington College has been reaping the benefits of membership in NCA since 1931. Since this regional classification is recognized as the ' best college accreditation, students gain much by attending a North Centrl Association accredited college. Thus, Huntington College students can expect their credits to be accepted at face value if transferring or applying for admission to graduate school. Universal acceptance of credits from NCA colleges lends prestige to degrees from these institutions. Membership in NCA is based upon the character of the instruction as a whole, including all units within its organization. While certain characteristics are recognized as basic, such as the competence of the faculty, the representative character of the curricu um, effective administration, standards of student accomplishment, and financial adequacy, it is of prime importance to protect such institutional variations as appear educationally sound. Democrats Send Wire On Viet Nam To LBJ The Young Democrats are engaged in many activities even though this is an off-election year. Calvin Hawkins, president of the Young Democrats, says, “We hope many students will be moved to consider a political organization. They should realize their personal responsibility as Christians to take an active interest in government. We hope to stimulate thought even if we lose some people to the other party.” The organization recently sent the following telegram to President Lyndon B. Johnson: Dear Mr. President: We, the members of the Hunt- Grade Point System Changes The Huntington College faculty has adopted new rules governing scholastic probation. A cumulative grade point average is determined at the end of each semester. The table below indicates ihe grade point average which must be maintained in relation to Ihe total numbers of hours earned: Total Hours Grade Point 8-12 1.5 13-23 1.6 24-41 1.7 42-59 1.8 60-72 1.9 73 up 2.0 A student who fails to maintain the minimum grade point average is placed on scholastic probation. If a student is on probation for two consecutive semesters, he will be asked to withdraw. However, during the 1965-66 school year no student will be asked to withdraw because of scholastic difficulties if he would have been eligible to remain in school under the old rules. Anyone on academic probation may not enroll for more than 14 V2 hours of credit. A student working outside more than 15 hours per week may take only 13 y2 hours. For each additional five hours of outside work per week the course load must be reduced one hour. ington College Young Democrats, hereby express our support to you and the leaders of this country for our effort in Viet Nam. The situation is bleak, but as Americans, we must undergo the fatigue of defending freedom whenever and wherever it is threatened. Since we profess the Christian faith, this particular organization prays for peace; however we pray for a lasting peace - - safe for mankind. We would like to extend to you our appreciation for your endeavors in this behalf. We pray that God might bless you, the leaders of both political parties, and that He might continue to bless America.” The Young Democrats organization is comparatively new on the Huntington College campus. In the talking and planning stage during the 1963-64 school year, the constitution was approved during the second semester of that year. They just completed a concentrated two-day membership drive. Having 35 members now, they hope to reach 50 by spring. They solicited new memberships in the main hall of the Administration Building. Here they publicized their various activities through pictures and letters. They displayed an official presidential inauguration invitation, letters from Indiana Senator Birch Bayh, Michigan Senator Philip A. Hart, Maryland Senator Joseph D. Tydings, and New York Senator Robert F. Kennedy. Included in the collection was a letter addressed to Roger Buzzard, associate professor of history and economics at Huntington College, from the late President John F. Kennedy. Draped across College Avenue was a large banner placed by the Young Democrats welcoming Fifth District Congressman J. Edward Roush to campus for a chapel speech. The Young Democrats have ordered a thirty minute color film, “ Christmas in Viet Nam,” from CBS. The film will be shown to the student body soon. Pop Quizzes: ¥1 ho Needs Em? by Marie Kariger The pop quiz, the snap quiz of another era, apparently is here to stay as long as professors and teachers must search for ways and means of stimulating dilatory students. Whether the number of resultant ulcers from the daily nervous tension in such an atmosphere is less, equals, or exceeds the number of chewed fingernails and frayed nerves is purely conjectural. At any rate an acute observer can have a field day in the study of human emotions in the pop quiz threatened classroom. Theoretically, of course, the master teacher needs no fear gimmick to stimulate students to indulge in the pursuit of knowledge. He is so imbued with his subject and so concerned with sharing his knowledge for the welfare of his students that their response is enthusiastic and purposeful. Thus the master teacher motivates his students in a positive rather than negative manner. When wide-eyed students enter the classroom of the pop-quiz specialist, they look from side to side searching for the knowledgeable classmate who may have gleaned the information from the professor whether or not this is a day of reckoning. Sighs of relief sound like shimmering, rustling leaves upon the receipt of a negative answer. However, when the answer is in the affirmative, with harried looks students hastily scan the unread pages as they forgo their custom-any breezy visits. Sure enough, the professor enters in deep thought as he composes suitable questions for procrastinating students. Certainly by college age people should have learned not to put things off. The professor proceeds to the board, writes on the questions, erasing occasionally in an effort to put the questions in better form. Students exchange glances mirroring mixed emotions. Some are grateful that at least the questions are not being administered verbally. Students write madly, or simply sit, as they strive to do a half hour quiz in ten minutes. Papers collected, the lecture begins while emotionally spent students attempt to regroup their wits and give their attention to the subject at hand. Interestingly enough, the pop quiz technique of attempting to stimulate daily effort on the part of lagging students is a highly debatable method of instruction. Dr. Harper, a professor of Knox College, Galesburg, Illinois, in an address at St. Francis College, Fort Wayne, spoke of. his experience as a pop quiz exponent. He once was a firm believer in the method. To test his belief Dr. Harper set up a controlled research study. He expected to prove the hypothesis that students always in danger of having a pop quiz would do better work than those in classes tested on a known schedule. For the first two weeks the results were as he anticipated. The pop quiz classes excelled the control classes. Then a dramatic reversal of results set in. Students in the pop quiz classes tested much lower for the balance of the term than the groups on the known test schedule. The students were carrying other subjects in which they also had to make preparations and meet testing dates. In these classes they were preparing the assignments they knew they had to hand in and preparing for the tests which they knew were scheduled. They saved the preparation for the pop quiz classes until last. There was then little time left for preparation for pop quizzes which they might not have. In short, they prepared for the definite rather than the indefinite. Of course it is recognized that one research study does not prove an hypothesis. Nevertheless, such bits of information are better than no objective information at all. The outcome of Dr. Harper’s research does pose an interesting question for professors and teachers sincerely dedicated to maximum student achievement. January 21, 1966 THE HUNTINGTONIAN Page 3 Small Colleges Prosper In Nearly Every W ay AD BUILDING IN THE SUMMER History Of Old Hall Recalled by Helen Nell Huntington College’s old Administration Building “ has certainly changed,” says Dr. Elmer Becker. Upon its completion on June 1, 1897, the Ad Building b e c a m e Huntington College’s (Central College then) one and only building. In 1896 the Hartsville College Board decided to change its location to Huntington, and the first students entered the Ad Building of Central College, renamed because of its new location, on September 22, 1897. At a cost of around $60,000, the Ad Building was constructed with its present dimensions. Dr. Becker stated that a similar building today would cost $250,000 to build. If HC students would go back in time to 1900, these are some of the changes they would find in the Ad Building: on the first floor, just one main office to run the college; one telephone line to the building; the gymnasium on third floor in the rooms behind the stage; the County Has Many Students A t HC The fall enrollment figures at Huntington College reveal that 31 percent of the total students come from Huntington County. In reporting this figure, Mr. Robert Paine, Registrar, said, “ Our records show that we have 169 students who have graduated from the high schools of our county with the greatest number, 69, coming from Huntington High School.” The high school with the second largest number in attendance is Roanoke with 18, followed closely by Clear Creek High with 14 and Huntington Township with 12. Salamonie Township High School in Warren, which is the greatest distance from Huntington College, provides 10 students. The smallest high school, Union, has always provided a proportionately large number of students and presently has nine enrolled. Eight students come from Andrews High School, four from Huntington Catholic, three from Jefferson Township and two from Lancaster High School. Other county students who are presently enrolled at Huntington College listed East Rockcreek, Bippus, Lancaster Central, West Rockcreek Center and Union Center as the high schools from which they graduated. cafeteria in the basement where the oresent Student Lounge is located; no post office (until the early 1940’s when it occupied the present business office); heating tumaces in the basement; chemistry laboratories in the present print shop; physics and biology laboratories in the present room 16; and the library beside the post office on the first floor until it was moved to second floor. In 1903 the Huntington College Auxiliary was formed by interested women of the community. President Baker Submits Plan President Dewitt Baker has requested and gained approval from the Board of Trustees to develop an “ Eight Year Plan for Growth at Huntington College.” The Public Relations and Development Council under the direction of President Baker, has already begun preliminary study to determine enrollment factors which will affect the other aspects of long range planning such as faculty requirements, curriculum direction, building construction and equipment needs. In a preliminary report to the Public Relations and Development Council, Dr. Baker noted, “ that in eleven years, from 1955 to 1%5, Huntington College has experienced a 147 percent growth in total enrollment representing a average annual growth of 13V4 percent.” This average rate of annual growth at Huntington is considerable higher than that of the average Indiana college which has grown at the rate of 7 percent per year. President Baker has solicited the entire college administration and faculty to submit the ideas they feel should be considered in the “Eight Year Plan.” They undertook various projects, one being a yearly housecleaning of the Ad Building. Over the years, tnis organization has invested over $50,000 in the building. They bought the first typewriter for its offices. Until 1930 the Ad Building was used to hold church services for the United Brethren members. The bell in the Ad Building tower called the congregation to church each Sunday. During the week the bell announced the beginning of all classes. Dr. Becker estimated that $375- 000 has been spent in the last 20 years for equipment, repairs, and improvements. Eight years ago, all of the outside brick wall was repointed. When inspectors for the North Central Association came to consider HC’s membership, they commended the college for the splendid way the old Ad Building had been preserved. Tammany Has Ham Dinner John Barnett, H. C. senior, received a twelve-pound ham for his Christmas bonus at the Locke Steel Chain Company. Since he lives in Wright where he can’t cook, he donated it to Tammany Hall. On Saturday, January 8, Barbara Straley and Gail Knudson served a ham supper to ten persons at the house. Ham, baked potatoes, corn, beams, cake and cherries, homemade rye bread contributed by Larry Ort, and milk were served (all-you-could eat style). The relaxed meal was attended by Barnett, Miss Straley, Miss Knudson, guest Miss Ty Carr, and residents Ort, Bob Thompson, Bill Smith, Calvin Hawkins, Doug Zeck, and Earle Gates. RICHMOND, Va. (C P S )----- Far from dying, the nation’s small colleges are prospering in this age of mass education, says Dr. Alfred T. Hill, executive secretary of the Council for the Advancement of the Small Colleges. “ Both quantitatively and qualitatively,” he said, "the small colleges arc growing very fast and very successfully. More small colleges are being started every year.” Hill was in Richmond to attend the ninth regional meeting of the small college council. The meeting is being held in conjunction with the 70th annual meeting of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Dr. Hill said he would much rather be facing the “ plight” of the small college than that of the large universities. He asserts the following: - The small colleges over the nation are increasing their enrollment. He says colleges associated with his council have increased enrollments this year by 15 to 20 per cent over last year’s figures. The faculty situations at the small colleges are improving. He says faculty salaries in the small colleges are increasing, and faculty quality is improving as well. - Small colleges are growing physically. Dr. Hill says that 300 New Look In Ivory Tower by Marie Karlger The entrance hall of the Administration building has a new look. Suspended across the entrance hall is a new sign in Old English lettering, “ The Fear of the Lord Is the Beginning of Knowledge, Proverbs 1:7.” Two oil paintings on loan from Frederic Lee Hollis, associate professor of art, have also been placed in the main hall. The sign was contributed by the book store through the efforts of Mrs. Arlene Zimmerman, book store manager. Mrs. Zimmerman credits the idea to Paul Cairl, new business manager for the college. A similar sign was mounted above the bulletin board when he was a student here. Upon his return to campus he missed the sign, remembering the inspiration it gave to him and possibly to other students as well. The quotation gives evidence of the Christian philosophy of Huntington College. “ Dust Bowl,” the oil painting seen on the left as one enters the Administration building, is a dark somber imaginary dust bowl bom of Mr. Hollis’s experience. He witnessed the dust bowl desolation while traveling in Kansas one summer. Located to the right of the “ Dust Bowl” painting, “My Old Kentucky Home” depicts a sad mood or feeling. This inspiration came from a picture Mr. Hollis saw, from Stephen Foster’s ballad, and from recollections of similar scenes in the South. new buildings are going up this decade on small college campuses. The overall cost will be around $100 million. - Financial support from private sources is increasing. Citing college financial reports, Dr. Hill says that private money has increased by about 15 percent in the past year in the typical small college budget. Advantages Offered Dr. Hill also says the small college offers a number of “ advantages.” First, he says, student - faculty relationships are much closer in the small school. Speaking of recent “ student unrest” , he observed that there has been much less “ unrest” on the small college campus. “ One reason . . . is that it is easier for the student in the small college to identify with something that is important to him,” Dr. Hill said. “ He knows his professors; relationships aren’t the sort of impersonal thing on which unrest is bred.” He also contends that the emphasis is on “ good classroom teaching” in most of the small colleges rather than on publishing and advanced research. “ I’m not throwing bricks at the universities or saying that we shouldn’t have advanced research,” he said. “ What I am saying is that the student working on an undergraduate degree is more likely to find that the small college puts its emphasis on excellence in classroom teaching.” Another “ advantage” he mentioned was the emphasis “ on liberal arts and the humanities in the small colleges.” The major universities, he said, conduct research in such fields as advanced science and engineering and have become involved in enormous government contracts and with industry. Co-operation Helps “ This is all very well,” Dr. Hill observed, “ but we’re advancing so rapidly . . . that there has to be a counterbalancing force." That force, he says, is found on the small college campus. “ The humanities give balance, judgment. wisdom, and human understanding.” Dr. Hill says that small colleges will survive because they are learning to cooperate for their mutual betterment. “Another rear son,” he says jokingly, “ is that Lyndon Baines Johnson is giving them billions of dollars.” Pasre 4 TEE HUNTINGTONIAN January 21, 1966 Managed News — - Wot Dat? Huntington College recently had an unusual event, a representative of Congress speaking politically in convocation. Edward Roush is a Democrat. Huntington College and the city of Huntington seem to be dominantly Republican, /s far as we’re concerned, both parties need help. But political stands do not enter into the subject of this editorial. Our subject is: An important event got poor press treatment. In most cities a Congressman’s speech is frontpage news, regardless of which party he represents. In the city of Huntington, it’s something we just don’t publish. A telegram sent by the Young Democrats to President Johnson was published, but even then under a misleading headline and after a stale “ equal time” article about the other party. Roush spoke on issues vital to millions of Americans. It was better than many speeches that hit the national wire services. It would help several thousand people in this city to vote more intelligntly next November. It was suppressed, and that’s not fair, whether we agree with him or not. Suppression of news contrary to a paper’s editorial policy is letting opinion get in the way of news coverage, and any journalism book will tell you that is poor journalism. The college’s public relations department did a much better job. Their news release reiterated faithfully his statements on Viet Nam. We were sorry, however, to see nothing in the release on 14-B, which Roush emphasized as the “most politically controversial issue” of our day. More complete coverage would have been desirable. Now we come down to a ticklish point: how the HUNTINGTONIAN reacted. We trust we are not partisan in our regular news coverage, and on the editorial pages we print any signed reasonable articles. On our news pages we print objectively what is news. The Democrats happened to make important news this issue, so they got prominent coverage. When the Rpublicans make news, they too will get coverage. We refuse to let editorial opinions dominaV our news pages. This is true freedom of the press. This is an American ideal. For the sake of the Republicans, we hope the Republicans make big news soon also, but if they do not, we can not conscientiously suppress valuable news just because of political affiliation, or manufacture something just to give “ equal time” . Our policy is, “He who makes news deserves coverage space: he who does not, does not.” About Those Stockpiles Doesn't Congress Care? The club that the Administration used to beat the aluminum companies into line was supplied unintentionally by Congress, and no one should be more concerned with the way it w:as used than Congress, according to the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. This club was the federal stockpile of aluminum, a stockpile built on appropriations from Congress. Time and again Congress had made it clear that strategic materials were being stockpiled in order to have supplies in national emergencies, not to regulate prices. For Congressmen were aw’are that an Administration might be so tempted, as was the present one. This Administration even tacitly acknowledged that its us of the aluminum stockpile to crush a price increase was outside the. sanction of law, for it avowed that the proposed dumping of aluminum from its stockpile was purely coincidental with the price increase. "What the Administration did, however, not what it said, is important. For what it did in this case was to treat the will of Congress as meaningless. Publicly no Senators and only two Congressmen have expressed concern. The two are Thomas B. Curtis (R-Mo.) ranking Republican on the Joint Economic Committee, and William B. Widnall (R. - N. J.), ranking Republican of the Joint Committee on Defense Production. Tney said that their committees should look into this price dispute because the Administration had, violated the intent of Congress and because similar situations migiu arise in the future. - - Business News Features THE HUNTINGTONIAN THE HUNTINGTONIAN is published bi-weekly by the students of Huntington College, Huntington, Indiana 46750.

Rudiments Rebuked by Bernita Herrberg Unfortunately, I believe, that the editorial “Rudiments of Rhodesia,” printed in the last edition of the Huntingtonian, led its readers to wrong conclusions. Should Rhodesia be considered “America’s little brother” ? Does she seek independence to establish greater freedom for her citizens, or does Rhodesia seek self-rule in order to continue a white tyranny? Does the United Kingdom “ harass” the Rhodesians in nullifying their passports, or is she, by so doing, upholding justice as well as her honor? Let’s see. The Rhodesian Front government led by Prime Minister Ian Smith is “ pledged to securing full self-rule under the present constitution.” And although the franchise of this constitution is “ technically nonracial” only 12,000 Africans have met the complex education, income, and property requirements to vote in 1964. Thus in a country inhabited by 3.9 million Africans only 12,000 enjoy the right of self-determinism. "Theoretically 40,000 to 50,000 Africans could qualify within 20 or so years. Africans have been barred completely from parliament until the 1961 ‘partnership constitution’ came into effect. They now have 15 of 65 seats in parliament.” Thus Rhodesia is a country ruled by a six percent minority - - 217,000 white men against 3.9 million Africans. In the past, British requirements for self-rule have been vaguely expressed in terms as “ broadening the franchise” and “ securing majority support.” But the Labor government is more precise and firm; Prime Minister Harold Wilson stated in October “ that he is totally opposed to granting independence to Southern Rhodesia so long as the government of that country remains under the control of a white minority.” Will the Rhodesian Front compromise and liberalise the franchise to gain British support? No. Its attitude was expressed early this year. The government announced then that income and property qualifications for voting were being raised by ten percent; this will affect primarily the Africans. Moreover, Ian Smith has said of the era of “ civilized control” : “As far as we are concerned it has to be for all time . . . there is going to be no more give.” And the European minority supports their prime minister. On November 5, 1964, in a national referendum the predominately white electorate voted nine to one in favor of independence under the present restrictive constitution. There is, however, still another trend in Rhodesian policy that causes greater misgiving. What is the status of justice and civil liberties in Rhodesia after 75 years of white rule? There is a reason for African political impotence. “Although they (African national leaders) have boycotted formal participation in parliament, Rhodesian nationalists have organized political parties, primarily to press for a new constitution. The parties have received mass support, but the Whitehead and Smith governments have effectively restrained African aspirations by successfully banning each party after allowing it a short existence, seizing its assets, and imprisoning its leaders on the grounds that they have condoned Editor’s Viewpoint Millstones and Milestones Christian Life Emphasis Week will be upon us in about a month. During this week we have a special evangelistic crusade designed to bring all students face to face with the saving grace of Jesus Christ. These services may or may not be considered revival services. A revival is a renewing within or a reconsecration. It is a rebirth in Christ Jesus. It is not a series of meetings. Christian Life Emphasis Week is a preaching mission. Hopefully, it will also be a revival for campus Christianity. If if is a tnie revival, it will bring students to a permanent relationship with God through Christ. Christians on campus will have to work hard both before and after the week if it will be effective. First, Christian, consider this: Are you a Christian by your own definition or by God’s? And is your practicing consistent with your preaching? If you fit God’s definition of a Christian, and if you live according to His will and consistently, then you are ready to witness to others. A true witness should not check off things from an arbitrary list of faults, labeling a person who has six out of ten “ sins” as nonchristian and relegating him to a prayer list. The true witness, rather, lives and talks so that others know his stand. He prays for Christians and for non-christians and for those of whom he is not sure. And he prays about his own witness. When Christians live consistent lives, then others will notice, and the name of Christian will be a badge of honor, not a millstone around the neck of a hypocrite. Thus the first demand for a successful Christian Life Emphasis Week is the soul-preparation of each Christian. Next we must pray for the crusade. Non-christians, weak Christians, the speakers, the committees, the special music, all the activities need fervent and expectant prayer. Individuals. prayer cells, dorm devotions, Sunday School classes, and mid-week prayer services all should emphasize this theme beginning right away - - this morning even. With a group of consecrated Christians laying a firm foundation like this, the week will evolve naturally as a climax, rather than a surprise. (We are assuming, of course, that proper publicity and groundwork have been done.) Souls will be won. But only the week should end. The following weeks must be spent in instructing the young Christians, helping them in Bible study and personal devotions, leading them through doubts, etc. Instruction and help must give the Christian a sound basis for new life and must gradually prepare him to live the Christian life on his own (with God’s help, of course). The emotion of CLE Week soon wears off. The commitment will also unless fellow Christians help the new man find a sound philosophical base and a real and lasting relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Rev. Gary Forbes, associate pastor of the First Methodist Church in Huntington, said recently in a sermon, “Emotion without instruction breeds fanaticism; instruction without emotion breeds hypocricy.” After CLE Week, too often we have let the instruction go, the emotion has gone away naturally, and commitments have been wasted. After such an experience, Christians are reminded that, “Oh, it’ll wear off after a few weeks anyway.” CLE Week the.n becomes a very real millstone around the Christian’s neck. Let’s handle CLE Week properly this year and make it a milestone along the road to heaven. ‘intimidation.’ ” Moreover, the Rhodesian government has passed so called “ security measures.” One such measure, the Law and Order Maintenance Act, contains a section which “ renders a person subject to up to a year’s imprisonment if he ‘utters any word or does any act . . . which is likely . . . to expose any government employee . . . to d.sesteem’ ” In March 1964 the Rhodesian government made effective a “ security measure” that sidesteps the restraint of that country’s judiciary. Consequently, some 145 national leaders have been placed in isolated “ restriction camps.” None were given a trial, a statement of charges, or the identity of their accusers. Nor could they appeal against their status to any court of law. The number of persons so held had reached 1,936 by December 1, 1964. In these events should Rhodesia be considered “America’s little brother?” Does she seek independence to establish greater freedom for her citizens, or does Rhodesia seek self-rule in order to continue a white tyranny? Does the United Kingdom “ harass” the Rhodesians in nullifying their passports, or is she, by so doing, upholding justice as well as her honor? You All by Mike Stallings My old school, Andrews, the Mnemosyne 1965, the Campus pond, and the new women’s dorm all seem worthy of mention in this issue that ends the old semester and begins a new year. Andrews is a pretty good school. Severed. HC graduates teach there, as well as a former professor, Mr. Martin. At least nine Huntington students attended Andrews: Alan Maxton, Helen Wright, Pat Bomersback, Bob Flora, Danny Smith, Rodger Smith, David Stephan, Steve Spei-cher, and myself. The Mnemosyne 1965 cover is “ big” with the gold HC seal on black. The double color page of the campus is “ real” . The future pond will further enhance the beauty of the campus. It will provide a place to skate and possibly other activities. Perhaps future Sophomores will pull future Freshman into Campus pond, rather than Little River. It seems to me there was much more than mere coincidence in the naming of the new women’s dorm. Only Huntington will be able to boast “ Hardy Women” for “Wright Men” . by Robert D. Thompson January 21, 1966 THE HUNT!JN ETONIAN Page 5 On Coercion - Part II Airs Views on Freedom New Coins Fake Out Machines by Jack Wilbur There is a practice in our country which must be stopped. This is the practice of the public’s use of a subtle yet very recil coercion of forcing its will on individuals in such a manner as to make it seem that anyone who practices what it is against is in the wrong and not the public. It goes something like this: “You (a white person) cannot marry that person (a negro), because of the torture you will cause the children to go through.’ ’ It is a foregone conclusion t h a t the children will suffer because of such a union. It is also true that the children will not suffer if the mixed couple were to marry into their own races. It is not therefore true that any suffering is the fault of the parents. Suppose a man is to be executed according to the law for a crime deserving such a punishment. Suppose also that the brother of Temper of the Times by Galen Eberhart Hey! We finally caught the middle one of the trio. I do not know where we will catch the butcher and candlestick maker, but we have the Baker. It was about time! Next jewel - - A top military analyst says that we have never lought a war such as this. We tell the world that we continue to seek peace and negotiations with North Viet Nam. In the U. S. we are told that the “ Peace Marchers” are hurting our effort to “win” the war. Come on boys, just what are we doing, or rather trying to do? On the line - - Balance of power in the world? It has been and still is with the U. S. Let us keep it that way “Mac” with a balanced line of defense! Perhaps a little military advice from the military to this civilian would be beneficial. After all, would you have a man cut out your appendix if he had had no medical training? Are you “ one for b” , or not “ one for b” is the question? Senator Dirksen in an interview with “ U. S. News and World Report,” January 17, 1966, declares that he has received as much, or more, mail from union members than from non-union people asking for retention of 14 (b). As an example: “ You can use my name if you want to. I’ve been a member of my local for 25 years. We have a good local, and the reason we have a good local is because we’ve got 14 (b).” Need more be said? One man, one vote! Equality obtained in an undemocratic nation! By the fact that gigantic cities will grasp the mace of power destroys the very principles of our Republic! We are a republic, not a democracy. If you doubt me, consult your copy of the Constitution. Out of this Supreme Court decision could very easily come a dictatorship of the majority that could deny a minority its rights. Los Angeles can control California, Chicago in Cook County can do as it pleases with the rest of the 101 counties, or Indianapolis can dictate policy to Huntington County and its residents. Our forefathers in framing the Constitution protected the minority from the majority, but this revolting “ judicial legislation” opens the doors wide to a terrible plague of tyranny. “ Chet, have you heard those persistent rumors lately that larger herds of elephants with good long memories are massing for a sudden stampede to the stomping grounds?” “Yes, David, they seem to be everywhere!” Ihe condemned man threatens to murder an innocent captive un less his brother is set free, further stating that if the executioner carries out his duty, he, the executioner, will be responsible for the death of the captive. It is obvious that one cannot so easily slough off such responsibility by putting another in a compromising position and then saying that he now bears the guilt of any threatened deeds. The fact still remains that it is the executioner’s duty to execute his prisoner and it is still a crime for the brother to take the life of an innocent person. Likewise when a community or nation of people so coerce others and put them into a compromising situation of resulting harm to loved ones, they cannot shift the guilt. They cannot say that since we will punish your children for your execution of your lawful rights as citizens, you are to blame for that punishment. It is your crime not ours. If you will give in to us we will not make it hard on your children. You are forcing us; therefore you are wrong. They cannot say this. What they mean is that if you act as you wish, we are going to break any iaw necessary to make you suffer for hot giving in to us. We’re not old-fashioned, we just don’t believe in polluting our “ pure” Scotch - Irish - Dutch - German - Italian - Greek - Polish - Iroquois - French - Danish - American blood line. Its pure and we’re going to keep it that way. These people who believe in mixed marriages are violating the rights of others. We have a right to pursuit of happiness and this does not make us happy. Everything should be the same - - uniformity - why must everyone be different. We realize that they have the right to the liberty of their own decisions, but other things are more important. When they mix, they don’t harm my property, my ego or violate my rights. It’s kind of vague, exactly what their crime is, but I just don’t like it. So we’ll put it to a stop. We’ll warn them of the chil- ' aren. We don’t want that kind of kids around anyway, they’re not like normal kids. So it goes, but not forever. As greater evils fall to the way side lesser ones take on more significance. One day this too will be challenged, though probably never in any large numbers. People will one day say “ It’s none of your business whom I marry.’ Just like the present civil rights movement, this victory will come hard, but it will come and a lot of innocent people will get hurt just because the man down the block is a self-appointed judge and jury. Like most things this is not without its humor though. If you ever want to see an award winning performance just mention lo a segregationist that you don’t see anything wrong with mixed marriages. “ You what’ . . . pause for effect . . . “ I can’t believe it, you mean you’d ! ’ . . . face shows shock . . . waits for implications take effect . . . “No!” . . . holds stomach . . . face becomes pale, get the plastic bag . . . shakes head in disbelief . . . “ I just can’t be lieve it !” I honestly think the idea intrigues them. Receives Plaque It’s been said in some quarters that machines are becoming smarter than men. Maybe so, but in one recent instance a group of men combined their talents to fool twelve million machines. What’s more, the machines still don’t know they’re being tricked. The decieved devices are America’s vending machines, pay phones, parking meters and other coin-operated instruments. It’s been quite a job to gull them into accepting those new dimes, quarters and half-dollars - - the ones that contain less silver than heretofore. The new coins were necessary because there just isn’t enough silver to go around. Other countries have already switched to silverless or reduced-silver coins. Our own stockpile of silver was declining at a rate that Is God's Word Still Relevant? by Bob Kahly A number of years ago a certain man was convinced that the world was to be flooded. As he prepared a boat in which to live during the days of the flood, his neighbors mocked him. The word spread and people from surround-ing areas began pouring into the city to see the work of an eccentric old man. When the boat was finished, the man and his family entered the boat and waited. Outside the people continued in their wicked ways of hollow pleasure. Then with a resounding crash the lightning flashed and the thunder rumbled. Rain fell first in big drops, then in continuing acceleration until th e laughter of a mocking world turned to horror. Too late, they perished because they failed to take the words of a Godly man seriously. A number of years later a man urged his sons-in-law to leave town with him. He declared that the Lord was going to destroy the city. The sons-in-law laughed at him. Early in the morning this man left town with his wife and daughters. With the extreme wickedness still reigning and the mocking laughter echoing through the early morning air, the destruction fell. No one escaped the town except righteous Lot and his family. Again men had mocked the Word of God, and they perished. A number of people today have heard the Word of God. All men are sinners. Repentance and faith in Christ are necessary for salvation from the promised destruction. A gloomy outlook, yes, but if what God spoke in former times came to pass, will it not be so today. Ridicule and sneering remarks everyday are directed to the Word of God. Disbelieving laughter fills the air. So it will continue until the time is up, and men will not be “ saved by the bell.” But, they will go through all eternity hearing their mocking laughter and remembering that they could have taken the Word of God seriously. What about you, fellow HC’er? Have you taken God seriously or are you too going to perish? “ How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation?” (Hebrews 2:3). YMCA Honors Dr. Lange would have wiped it out in three years. Having decided to purchase coins that contain less silver, the U. S. Treasury faced the awesome problem of altering millions of vending machines so they’d accept the new coins - - a two-and-a-halfyear job - or of trying to perfect a coin that the machines would accept as genuine. The problem was turned over to the Battelle Memorial Institute, a nonprofit research group in Columbus, Ohio. Battelle experts considered other metals in place of silver but quickly rejected most of them. Aluminum, for example, College Grades Index To Success Depending on your current academic standing, you’ll either be heartened or sobered by a discovery revealed in the November Reader’s Digest. It is that in a study of 17,000 men working for a leading industial company, success in college was the most reliable indicator of success in a career. The company that made the study is one of the nation’s largest, American Telephene and Telegraph Co. In the Digest article A. T. & T. Board Chairman Frederick R. Kappel says that the men in the top third of their classes at college, 45 percent were also in the top-salaried third of the company. At the other end of the scale, 40 percent of those in the lowest third of their schools were also in the lowest third in salary. Kappel says that although the quality of the college makes some di ference, it is less of a difference than the quality of the man. That is, top students from average colleges were more successful than average students from top colleges. Another discovery made in the survey was that extra-curricu ar activities in co lege bore little relationship to career success. “ It is only real campus achievement that seems to have significance,” says Kappel. “Mere participation in extra-curricular goings-on does not.” The significance of these findings is apparent. “More and more,” says the telephone company chief, “ these statistical guidelines dispose us to look within the top half of the college class for the individuals to whom we will offer career opportunities.” was too light. Just think of trying to toss a lightweight aluminum coin into a toll-highway basket on a windy day! Pure nickel couldn’t be used, since it has magnetic properties and U. S. coin machines won’t take magnetic coins. Other metals were rejected for a variety of other reasons. Finally the experts came up with the right answer: a combination of an alloy called cupronickel on the outside faces, with a pure-copper core between, the whole thing resembling a coin sadwich. The new coins were tried out on vending machines and were found to work every time. The laminated cupronickel-copper makeup got by even the most rigorous of the tests by which modem machines reject washers, play money, steel discs, counterfeit coins and other fakes. The new coins will cut our use of silver for coinage by ninety percent. And we didn’t have to alter a single coin machine to do it. Now who’s smarter? — Readers Digest News Service H.C. Receives 3-M Grant Huntington College has recently received a 3-M Company Assistance Grant to Education. 3-M Age II is a $1.5 million program designed to assist future teachers now enrolled in the teacher training schools and colleges of the United States. Available to t h e qualifying schools is a $2000 maximum grant in teaching tools and materials. It is the belief of the 3-M Company that the future of our edulational system lies in the ability of teachers to stimulate and motivate their students; and, therefore, tools and methods that will give them greater flexibility in their classroom presentation will help to accomplish this. In the announcement of this grant the 3-M Company states, “ In the final analysis, there can be no doubt that the best teaching machine ever devised is a good teacher. If we can help them to become ever better teachers, we will feel that our program has been a success.” Mrs. Helen Forbes, representative of the 3-M Company, demonstrated to the Huntington College faculty the many uses of the equipment received under this 3-M AGE II grant.

Rog and Rody Deputation Team Will Tour Again Next Summer LaDoyt Rodeheaver and Roger Skinner will be working this summer for Huntington College. The large part of their summer will be spent in United Brethren Church Camps, but they will occasionally participate in retreats and conventions. Last summer the team travelled from Pennsylvania to California meeting hundreds of teenagers along the way. The purpose of these summer tours is two-fold. The first and guilding principle is reaching teens for Christ. Secondly, the team serves in a public relations recruit-capacity among the youth with whom they come in contact. Due to last summer’s experiences it has been decided to add an accompanist to the team. This addition was made to relieve the host camp’s pianist of a heavy burden and also to improve upon the quality of the team. As of yet the new position has not been filled. Rog and Rody attempt to use every source of talent they can muster. They have on many occasions stated that God has given them their talent, and that they are going to prove their talents to the hilt for Jesus Christ. January 21, 1906 THE HUNTIJNETONIAN Page 7 Hot Foresters Upset Indiana Tech. 110-106 Forfeit Still Remains Conference Question By Kirby Warren On December 14 the Huntington College Foresters played Grace College in their first Mid-Central Conference game in which the Lancers defeated the Foresters 99-96. However the Foresters’ defeat may be erased because Grace later had to forfeit their victory on the grounds of an ineligible player. Bob Blanchard, a sophomore at Grace College, was a member of the Lancer squad and had played against the Foresters in this conference game. Bob who last year attended Ashland College in Ashland, Ohio, did not participate in the Ashland basketball program. However, by the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics rules, of which H. C. is a member and Grace is an associater member, a player can not participate in intercollegiate athletics without sitting out one semester if he has transferred from another college or university. By allowing Blanchard to play, Grace had to forfeit the game by a violation of NAIA rules. T h e Mid - Central Conference rules do allow a transfering player to play if he had not previously taken part in the sport. Blanchard had not played at Ashland but in allowing him to play Grace overlooked the NAIA ruling. The fact was called to the attention of the Grace team, and they arranged a meeting where they agreed to forfeit their first semester games on the grounds that Blanchard could participate MCC Loss Huntington Stunned The Concordia College Saxons handed our Foresters their first conference loss of the year Thursday niCTht, January 6 on the foes’ floor. Concordia moved in front in the Mid-Central Conference battle when they tilted the Mauri Reedsmen 87-73. The Saxons stand 2-0 in conference play and 4-6 for the year. The Foresters evened their conference record for a 1-1 standing and 7-5 for the season. The Saxons were a “ ball of fire” as they burned the nets with a scorching .532, hitting 33 of 62 from the field. The Foresters couldn’t cope with the Saxon “ hot hand” as they could only hit 29 of 77 for .377. Huntington took an early 3-1 lead only to have the Concordia squad walk off with a 48-24 advantage at halftime. Reed’s locker room talk couldn’t stop Concordia shooting as they cruised to the victory. Tim Frey topped the Forester shooters with 27, while Kent Paul followed with 16. James Seegars led the Saxon scoring with 26. Summary: Concordia 87, Huntington 73.

This agreement was not received by coajch Mauri Reed, but it was published in the newspapers. After having another meeting, Grace changed their minds and now will wait for a decision from the Executive Council of the M.C.C., which has a meeting planned. Thus, the forfeit is not legally decided at the time of this printing, leaving the situation to be decided upon when the Council hands down a decision from the officials of the NAIA. Coach Reed commented that if the game is not forfeited, it could give the conference a “ black eye” and could also weaken it. H. C. Trips Up Bible College The Huntington Foresters started the Christmas vacation appropriately, taking a “ vacation” from defense, but still managed to eke out a 109-103 win over Fort Wayne Bible College. The game was played Saturday night, December 18, at Fort Wayne and brought the season’s record to six wins and five losses. The ragged run-and-shoot affair was marred by a coach’s nightmare - 28 errors by the Foresters. Hot shooting by Kent Paul and Tim Frey overcame the defensive and ball - handling deficiencies, however. The two combined for 69 points, Paul hitting 35 and Frey 34. Freshman Phil Rice gave Coach Mauri Reed some encouragement, as the 6’6” Roanoke product canned 14 points, his personal high for the season, in a reserve role. Stan Inniger, Jerry Embry, and Dick Lovestrand paced the Ambassador attack with 22, 21, and 19, respectively. Summary: Huntington (109), Fort Wayne Bible (103).

The win threw the conference race into a scramble, demonstrating that defending champ Tech is beatable for a change. Concordia, presumably the conference weakling, took over the conference lead with a 2-0 mark, by virtue of a tentative forfeit bv Grace and an upset win ever Huntington. The Foresters are second at 2-1 (also including a forfeit by Grace) and Tech is 1-1. The Warriors moved out to an early ll-noint lead on hit shooting bv guards Ross Cole and Jim Whitt and superior board strength. The cold Foresters suddenly warmed up and hacked away at (he deficit. All five starters shared in the “ fun and Hunting-ton carried a 56-54 lead into the dressing room at halftime. The teams battled on even terms throughout the early part of the second half with the Forester’s hot-shooting and improved rebounding by Kent Paul and Tim Frey offsetting the hot hands of Cole and Whitt. Then with the score knotted at 89 and 5:32 left Paul canned a pair of short jumpers and clutch-shooting freshman Stan Gilbert hit three straight fielders of the Elgin Baylor variety, giving the Foresters a sudden 1en-point bulge at 99-89. Again charge and cut the gap, but Paul stole a pass and converted it into a three-point play, Frey hit a pair of his crowd-pleasing jumpers, and it appeared the Foresters were “ in.” With a half-minute left the warriors again sliced the lead to two at 108-106. Paul missed the first of a one-and-one, but Tech returned the favor on a ball-handling error, and Gilbert calmly iced the game with a pair of charity tosses. The Foresters may never be noted for their stingy defense, but if Saturdays shooting was typical of things to come, H. C. fans wont complain. Paul hit 14 of 26 from the field and a total of 32 points, Frey canned 9 of 19 and 20 points and Gilbert, the team’ s top percentage shooter, scored 25 on 10 of 17. If this left anything to be desired, guards Paul Bair and Jack Davis added 17 and 13 points to the attack. Frey, a retd workhorse on the boards, was the leading rebounder, and Paul, as usual, led in assists, feeding teammates for five easy buckets. Woodsmen Win Tech’s fine freshman Jim Whitt, a Fort Wayne Central product, led all scorers with 33 points and it didn’t take him many shots to do it. His running mate Ross Cole hit for 29, mostly on long bombs. The Warriors forward wall of Mike Wood, Walt Byers, and Jim Brown led a 57-49 rebounding edge, but their shooting was not up to par - - Tech made only 44 of 109 (.404) from the field despite excellent shooting by the two guards. Huntington has now won 8 of 13 games this season - - the best “ allgame” record among the Mid- Central Conference teams. Summary: Huntington 110, Indiana Tech 106.

The Foresters took an early 16- 14 lead on sharp-shooting and o u t s t a n d i n g rebounding. The Woodsmen kept up the hot pace and retired to a 41-36 halftime lead. The second half was nip and tuck to the end, but the Foresters took a 76 66 lead with 1:10 on the board and ran the clock out for the victory.

They have devoted years to perfecting the special instrumental techniques and interpretation ot Baroque music, whose treasures of chamber music are ideally suited to their instruments. The four musicians represent a large investment of talent and experience: John White, harpsichordist and distinguished musicologist and author; James Pel-lerite, recently solo flutist with the Philadelphia Orchestra under Ormandy; Jerry Sirucek, recently oboist with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra under Reiner; and Mr-ray Grodner, double bassist, formerly a member of the NBC Symphony under Toscanini. Individually and collectively, their concerts and recordings, editions and other publications, and their appearances as soloists, lecturers, and master teachers have carried their ativity to all parts of the United States and to Europe. Their concert leaned heavily on the masterworks of Bach, Telemann, Handel, and Couperin, but incmded several delightful and seldom heard works by minor masters. THE I. U. BAROQUE CHAMBER PLAYERS

Transcript | The H U N T I N G T O N I A N Vol. 51 Huntington College, January 21, 1966 No. 6 Study Just Released H. C. Dropout Level Below Average Finals Even loo Much For Interplanetary Invaders Figures just released show that Huntington College has a higher percentage of entering freshmen graduating than the nation’s colleges and universities as a whole. This fact was brought out in a paper by Mrs. Mary Hayden, wife of Bible professor Dr. Roy Hayden. The study was based on the class entering Huntington for the 1961- 62 school year. Of the 153 in the class, nearly 48 percent have by William Schmidt A small Venution space craft screamed across millions of miles at nearly the speed of light. It stopped over a large wooded area, hovered for a moment, and then dropped to a quiet landing on a planet called Earth. A small hand leached for a switch marked “ put-tersparken” and moved it to the “ often” position. A voice boomed ever the ship’s intercom system, “ Achtung, crew prepare to disembark!” An unamplified voice answered back, “ How many times must I ask you not to call me crew, this is only a two man ship.” - - and so the world we know was to be searched and explored by those two fearless soldiers of Venus - - Hanz and Fritz. The two four foot travelers set foot on the soil and looked about. "Ach, Hanz, der iss no udder plase any where near dis plase, any thing like dis plase, so dis must be der plase!” The voice came from a being who resembled a miniature German soldier of 1940 origin. “ Yah, dis anzers der description in our charts. Let us look for their scat of government vich iss marked administration builtink, on das map.” The crew moved past a large Duilding with many windows and on to a hard surfaced path leading toward two other buildings. “Here it iss, das sign sayss dis is der right plase. Let us go in, Hanz, and find der fuh.er of dis plase and take him in custody as ve are told to do. Schnell, schnell!” On this evening of evenings our two friends (?) find no one at home in the “ government” building. It seems they happened to land on January 21. “Ach, no one iss about. Let us make our vay in der darkness to der udder buildinks and look for zomeone in scharge.” "Yah! dis von looks interestink. Vas iss los? L-i-b-r-a-r-y.” The pair moved toward the center building of three in a row stealthily. As they drew closer Council Plans Winter Carnival The Student Council is planning a Winter Carnival to be held February 4. There will be movies, skating, and sledding, as well as : now sculpture contests. Tentative schedules call for a film to start the Carnival. Much outdoor activity is planned. Sled races include down hill races and team races with several people pulling one sled. Couples will build snow men in a timed contest and the winner will reign over the Winter Carnival as King and Queen. graduated or will graduate this year from Huntington. Other studies show the national no m to be 45 percent or less. Only 13 percent of the class transferred to other colleges and only 26 percent of the total drop-outs were transfers. Transfers to get majors not offered here and transfers because of financial difficulty were the only significant reasons revealed for changing schools, and the per cent for each reason was nearly equal. Poor scholarship caused over 18 percent of the entrants that year to leave, while over 13 percent are enrolled for a fifth year and plan to graduate this year. A necessity for working part-time and carrying fewer courses is thought to be the reason for much of the fifth year work. Of the 21 in for a fifth year, 16 are men. The reasons for students leaving Huntington were scholastic failure by 35 percent of the total number of drop-outs; transfer by 26 percent; marriage or family, 10 percent; lack of motivation, 8.5 percent; discipline, 5 percent; and other reasons, 7.5 percent. Over 50 percent of the transfers left to get majors not offered here. Three students went to nurses to the buildings the night air became filled with voices reciting many lofty and strange things of earthly knowledge and arts. “ Listen already Hanz, dey shtudy tso many tinks. I can hear science and mathematics and arts and history and warfare and current news.” “ Yah, unt over here dey shpeak off our visits to dis plase. It vould Country Not Divided On Viet Nam Rep. Roush Calls 14-B 'Controversial' Congressman J. Edward Roush (D. - Ind.) was the featured convocation speaker January 7. Roush spoke on Viet Nam and on what he called the most politically controversial issue, the repeal of Section 14-B of the Taft-Hartley Act. Roush, who has served under presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson, stated that the blame for Viet Nam can be placed on any administration since Roosevelt, but placing the blame is not important - - solving the problem is what is irr/iortant. There are two possible solutions: leave or go all out. The Congressman listed several “ obvious facts” he said all should realize about Viet Nam. North Viet Nam has always wanted the south to surrended and has always said the United States must withdraw before it will talk peace. The United States is in South Viet Nam to save it from communist domination, not to save face. The United States believes all of Southeast Asia will fall if South Viet Nam does. The U. S. has no desire to subjugate Viet Nam or any other foreign soil. The United States has sought peace talks 16 times since 1962, but each attempt has been labeled trickery or propaganda by the Viet Cong. The United States is capable of keeping its commitments in Viet Nam. A few protestors do not mean the United States is divided. The country is willing to protect any country’s freedom. Echoing present party lines, Roush stated we are now making an all out attempt Tor peace, but if we are again rejected, our only alternative is to carry the war to the enemy. Roush voiced his approval of repealing section 14-B of the Taft Hartley Act, which allows states to pass right-to-work laws. He said the repeal would not create compulsory union shops, but it would give labor and management the right to negotiate whether a shop will be a union shop. The majority of the workers would have to approve granting of any union shop. A right-to-work law does not protect a worker’s rights, the representative said. The nonunion minority restrict the majority in negotiation. Also, right-to wor k laws deny union shops even when the majority want one. Roush said we cannot close our eyes to waste of resources, lack of funds for education and higher education, poverty, civil rights, and elderly people with staggering medical bills, even if a solution requires government involvement and expense. Roush said a legislator votes with five influences in mind: His constituency, budget, the country’s good, party views, and personal judgment (which usually but not always follows party lines). With these in mind, he voted against highway beautification, and Appalachian poverty program, the foreign aid program, and some other administrative bills. The Huntington alumnus challenged the students to accept the challenge of this day, to take advantage of the benefits of our God and our country, and to protect our heritage. Roush has spoken at Huntington College before, but this was his first political speech on campus. He was sponsored by the Young Democrats. tseem dat dey know off us.” “ I fear dese peple. Here is stored the knowledge off all ages and off all das universe. Can ve take dem alone?” “ Unt look at der size of dem, too. Nine, ve cannot take them alone, nor vid any off our soldiers.” “ Den lat us flee!” In their great haste the two lifted their vehicle into the air with a great belch of fire and smoke. The only trace of them on earth was the burned area in the woods where they took off, in the college woods. And so it was, that a small student body with its great store of knowledge at exam time saved the world from domination by an advanced and fearsome race from another world. training. About 25 percent of the transfers found it more economical to go to schools closer to home or where a spouse was working. One student went to a Bible college to get a more “ spiritual’ atmosphere, and other class membersr transferred for unknown reasons. Financial difficulties influenced approximately 10 percent of the entering class to transfer or quit altogether. These constitute 20 percent of the drop-outs. No males left for marriage and family, but 24 percent of the leaving females left for this reason. Lack of motivation caused seven to leave, four were expelled for discipline, three left for health, one for military service, and one ior an excellent job opportunity. Dr. DeWitt Baker, Huntington president, stated recently that the findings for H. C. closely parallel those of other similar studies. Dr. Gerald Swaim, acting academic dean, recently expressed his pleasure and surprise at the favorable results of the survey. He believes that facts repudiate the mistaken idea that many students use H. C. for a junior college before moving on. The results of this study will be used by the Institutional Research Committee, which is studying requirements and course offerings. It is hoped that higher entrance requirements adopted in the last lew years, better screening, and curriculum offerings commensurate with present needs will further decrease the drop-out percentage. Mrs. Hayden’s sources for the study included registrar’s records, classification sheets, individual files, questionnaires sent to former students, and personal interviews. Dr. Swaim noted that the Administration and Institutional Research Committee were very grateful to Mrs. Swaim for the report, which was prepared as a term research paper for a graduate level methodology of educational research course at St. Francis College, Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Page 2 THE HUNTINGTONIAN January 21, 1966 Taxes Go Up North Central Co-ordinator Visits Huntington WASHINGTON - - Your pay envelope will be thinner after January 1. The reason: An increase in Social Security Taxes, according to the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. If you earn $6,600 or more a year, your tax will jump 59 per cent or $103; you will pay $277.20. If you earn less, the tax jump will be less. The tax increase was enacted Logos Needs Literary Material Walking around on the Hunting-ton College campus in embroyonic torpor a r e ideas that could change the world. These pupae of potential power are the unwritten essays, short stories, and poems that lie incubating in the minds of H. C. students who have been thinking of offering contributions to the Logos but who have not yet found the time to hatch them out in any sort of orderly form. The second edition of Huntington’s literary publication - - t h e Logos - - will go to Dress late this coming spring. The Creative Writers Club - - sponsor of the magazine - - announced recently that March 1, 1986, will be the cutoff date for contributions to the 1966 . Logos. Contributions are sought from any member of the student body, faculty, or administration at Huntington College. After finishing your masterpiece, present it to June Calen, president of the Creative Writers Club, or to its sponsor, Mr. H'ammel. Any kind of literary creativity will be accepted and considered for publication in the Logos as well as cartoons that express meaningful social, political, or philosophical ideas. All efforts will be judged in closed meetings of the board of judges. All manuscripts will be returned to th e contributors (whether accepted for publication or not). in the last session of Congress concomitant with Medicare and legislation raising Social Security benefits. Under the law, the tax will rise periodically to a top of $372.90 in 1987. However, if past trends continue, Congress will add more benefits to Social Security, and by 1987 the top tax might be nearer $1,000 a year. This prospect is not unlikely. The AFL-CIO convention at San Francisco this month called for a doubling of Social Security taxes to help pay for the proposed 50 percent increase in benefits. The Social Security tax has been one of the fastest rising of all our taxes. The top tax on an individual next year will be more than eight times what it was at the start in 1937. It was then $30. Job Hunting? The 1966 “ Summer Employment Directory,” just off the press, contains information on 45,000 summer ,iob openings throughout the United States and Canada. Co lege students are invited by employers listed to make application now. The greater increase in jobs for 1966 is at resorts, summer camps, and summer theatres. National parks, ranches, business and industry, government, and restaurants also need help. Students can earn from about $300 to $1,500 during the season; salaries are up $100 to $250 in some jobs. Of particular interest to employers are willing workers who will stay the entire season. Other qualifications often desired are experience, musical talent, knowledge of langauges, and at least sophomore standing. To obtain detailed information on 45,000 summer job openings for 1966 and tips on making application, ask for “ Summer Employment Directory” at the Student Aids Office or send $3 to National Directory Service, Dept. C., Box 32065, Cincinnati, Ohio 45232. Mark “ rush” for first-class mailing. Faculty Women Have Meeting The Huntington College Faculty Women held their January meeting recently at the home of Miss Edna Shipley, 905 Himes Street. Miss Irene Bergdall, Mrs. M. I. Burkholder, and Mrs. Richard Hassan assisted Miss Shipley in entertaining. An impromptu fun program, with each person participating in some part, was enjoyed by the group. The program included humorous and serious musical numbers, interesting Christmas gifts were explained, a story presented, and members participating in a debate. Dainty refreshments were served by the committee. Those enjoying the evening other than the hostess committee were: Mrs. DeWitt Baker, Mrs. Ralph Bealer, Miss Ruth Bixel, Mrs. Roger Buzzard, Mrs. Wes Christian, Mrs. Paul Cairl, Dr. Roxy Lef-iorge, Mrs. Robert Paine, Mrs. Gerald Swaim, Mrs. Ray Zimmerman, Mrs. Carl Zurcher, and Miss Dawn Betterly. The March meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Charles Brady on the Clear Creek Road. Mrs. Glenn Palmer, Mrs. Ray Zimmerman, and Mrs. Carl Zurcher will serve as co-hostesses. by Marie Kariger Dr. John Fadenrecht, area coordinator of the North Central Association of Colleges and Sec ondary Schools, visited Huntington College November 30. The coordinator’s assistance can have important effects on the College program. Providing services to colleges which wish to improve their programs, Fadenrecht carries ideas from one institution to another. He assists local study groups in formulating their problems, sometimes recommends methods for attacking those problems, and aids in the North Central Study on Liberal Arts program. Fadenrecht addressed the faculty concerning new developments in higher education. He discussed study abroad, honors programs, problems resulting from increasing college enrollments, policies regarding student admission, and realignment of college curricula to eliminate subject matter now being taught in more adequate high schools. Meeting informally with other groups, Fadenrecht discussed pertinent questions and exchanged ideas with the Curriculum Committee, Heritage of the Past Committee, Institutional Research Committee, and Academic Affairs Committee. Dean of the College of Wheaton College, Fradenrecht received his undergraduate degree from May-ville (N. Dak.) State Teachers College. He holds the master of arts degree from the University of North Dakota and the doctor of education degree in teacher training curriculum from the University of Colorado. He also studied at the University of Kansas and at the University of Chicago. His teaching experience includes public schools in North Dakota; Tabor College, Hillsboro, Kansas; and University of Colorado. He served as director of student teachers at Wheaton College before becoming dean in 1950. The North Central study group is a cooperative organization of 54 schools in a thirteen-state area served by the NCA. It is designed to help institutions improve various aspects of their educational programs. The work is coordinated by a central office which seeks to maintain a constant flow of ideas and information about higher education. Institutions are directly assisted by coordinators who visit the campuses each year and by participation in summer workships at which faculty from member colleges work on special problems. Each college maintains a local study committee which annually selects one problem to work on during the academic year. Study areas of special interest include faculty salaries, calendar (trimester or midwinter term), curriculum, and faculty committees and college organizations. The study has aided in effective development of new courses in general education, preparation of faculty handbooks on counseling, and evaluation and appraisal of insti-tional programs. The NCA study group has existed since 1941. Huntington College has been reaping the benefits of membership in NCA since 1931. Since this regional classification is recognized as the ' best college accreditation, students gain much by attending a North Centrl Association accredited college. Thus, Huntington College students can expect their credits to be accepted at face value if transferring or applying for admission to graduate school. Universal acceptance of credits from NCA colleges lends prestige to degrees from these institutions. Membership in NCA is based upon the character of the instruction as a whole, including all units within its organization. While certain characteristics are recognized as basic, such as the competence of the faculty, the representative character of the curricu um, effective administration, standards of student accomplishment, and financial adequacy, it is of prime importance to protect such institutional variations as appear educationally sound. Democrats Send Wire On Viet Nam To LBJ The Young Democrats are engaged in many activities even though this is an off-election year. Calvin Hawkins, president of the Young Democrats, says, “We hope many students will be moved to consider a political organization. They should realize their personal responsibility as Christians to take an active interest in government. We hope to stimulate thought even if we lose some people to the other party.” The organization recently sent the following telegram to President Lyndon B. Johnson: Dear Mr. President: We, the members of the Hunt- Grade Point System Changes The Huntington College faculty has adopted new rules governing scholastic probation. A cumulative grade point average is determined at the end of each semester. The table below indicates ihe grade point average which must be maintained in relation to Ihe total numbers of hours earned: Total Hours Grade Point 8-12 1.5 13-23 1.6 24-41 1.7 42-59 1.8 60-72 1.9 73 up 2.0 A student who fails to maintain the minimum grade point average is placed on scholastic probation. If a student is on probation for two consecutive semesters, he will be asked to withdraw. However, during the 1965-66 school year no student will be asked to withdraw because of scholastic difficulties if he would have been eligible to remain in school under the old rules. Anyone on academic probation may not enroll for more than 14 V2 hours of credit. A student working outside more than 15 hours per week may take only 13 y2 hours. For each additional five hours of outside work per week the course load must be reduced one hour. ington College Young Democrats, hereby express our support to you and the leaders of this country for our effort in Viet Nam. The situation is bleak, but as Americans, we must undergo the fatigue of defending freedom whenever and wherever it is threatened. Since we profess the Christian faith, this particular organization prays for peace; however we pray for a lasting peace - - safe for mankind. We would like to extend to you our appreciation for your endeavors in this behalf. We pray that God might bless you, the leaders of both political parties, and that He might continue to bless America.” The Young Democrats organization is comparatively new on the Huntington College campus. In the talking and planning stage during the 1963-64 school year, the constitution was approved during the second semester of that year. They just completed a concentrated two-day membership drive. Having 35 members now, they hope to reach 50 by spring. They solicited new memberships in the main hall of the Administration Building. Here they publicized their various activities through pictures and letters. They displayed an official presidential inauguration invitation, letters from Indiana Senator Birch Bayh, Michigan Senator Philip A. Hart, Maryland Senator Joseph D. Tydings, and New York Senator Robert F. Kennedy. Included in the collection was a letter addressed to Roger Buzzard, associate professor of history and economics at Huntington College, from the late President John F. Kennedy. Draped across College Avenue was a large banner placed by the Young Democrats welcoming Fifth District Congressman J. Edward Roush to campus for a chapel speech. The Young Democrats have ordered a thirty minute color film, “ Christmas in Viet Nam,” from CBS. The film will be shown to the student body soon. Pop Quizzes: ¥1 ho Needs Em? by Marie Kariger The pop quiz, the snap quiz of another era, apparently is here to stay as long as professors and teachers must search for ways and means of stimulating dilatory students. Whether the number of resultant ulcers from the daily nervous tension in such an atmosphere is less, equals, or exceeds the number of chewed fingernails and frayed nerves is purely conjectural. At any rate an acute observer can have a field day in the study of human emotions in the pop quiz threatened classroom. Theoretically, of course, the master teacher needs no fear gimmick to stimulate students to indulge in the pursuit of knowledge. He is so imbued with his subject and so concerned with sharing his knowledge for the welfare of his students that their response is enthusiastic and purposeful. Thus the master teacher motivates his students in a positive rather than negative manner. When wide-eyed students enter the classroom of the pop-quiz specialist, they look from side to side searching for the knowledgeable classmate who may have gleaned the information from the professor whether or not this is a day of reckoning. Sighs of relief sound like shimmering, rustling leaves upon the receipt of a negative answer. However, when the answer is in the affirmative, with harried looks students hastily scan the unread pages as they forgo their custom-any breezy visits. Sure enough, the professor enters in deep thought as he composes suitable questions for procrastinating students. Certainly by college age people should have learned not to put things off. The professor proceeds to the board, writes on the questions, erasing occasionally in an effort to put the questions in better form. Students exchange glances mirroring mixed emotions. Some are grateful that at least the questions are not being administered verbally. Students write madly, or simply sit, as they strive to do a half hour quiz in ten minutes. Papers collected, the lecture begins while emotionally spent students attempt to regroup their wits and give their attention to the subject at hand. Interestingly enough, the pop quiz technique of attempting to stimulate daily effort on the part of lagging students is a highly debatable method of instruction. Dr. Harper, a professor of Knox College, Galesburg, Illinois, in an address at St. Francis College, Fort Wayne, spoke of. his experience as a pop quiz exponent. He once was a firm believer in the method. To test his belief Dr. Harper set up a controlled research study. He expected to prove the hypothesis that students always in danger of having a pop quiz would do better work than those in classes tested on a known schedule. For the first two weeks the results were as he anticipated. The pop quiz classes excelled the control classes. Then a dramatic reversal of results set in. Students in the pop quiz classes tested much lower for the balance of the term than the groups on the known test schedule. The students were carrying other subjects in which they also had to make preparations and meet testing dates. In these classes they were preparing the assignments they knew they had to hand in and preparing for the tests which they knew were scheduled. They saved the preparation for the pop quiz classes until last. There was then little time left for preparation for pop quizzes which they might not have. In short, they prepared for the definite rather than the indefinite. Of course it is recognized that one research study does not prove an hypothesis. Nevertheless, such bits of information are better than no objective information at all. The outcome of Dr. Harper’s research does pose an interesting question for professors and teachers sincerely dedicated to maximum student achievement. January 21, 1966 THE HUNTINGTONIAN Page 3 Small Colleges Prosper In Nearly Every W ay AD BUILDING IN THE SUMMER History Of Old Hall Recalled by Helen Nell Huntington College’s old Administration Building “ has certainly changed,” says Dr. Elmer Becker. Upon its completion on June 1, 1897, the Ad Building b e c a m e Huntington College’s (Central College then) one and only building. In 1896 the Hartsville College Board decided to change its location to Huntington, and the first students entered the Ad Building of Central College, renamed because of its new location, on September 22, 1897. At a cost of around $60,000, the Ad Building was constructed with its present dimensions. Dr. Becker stated that a similar building today would cost $250,000 to build. If HC students would go back in time to 1900, these are some of the changes they would find in the Ad Building: on the first floor, just one main office to run the college; one telephone line to the building; the gymnasium on third floor in the rooms behind the stage; the County Has Many Students A t HC The fall enrollment figures at Huntington College reveal that 31 percent of the total students come from Huntington County. In reporting this figure, Mr. Robert Paine, Registrar, said, “ Our records show that we have 169 students who have graduated from the high schools of our county with the greatest number, 69, coming from Huntington High School.” The high school with the second largest number in attendance is Roanoke with 18, followed closely by Clear Creek High with 14 and Huntington Township with 12. Salamonie Township High School in Warren, which is the greatest distance from Huntington College, provides 10 students. The smallest high school, Union, has always provided a proportionately large number of students and presently has nine enrolled. Eight students come from Andrews High School, four from Huntington Catholic, three from Jefferson Township and two from Lancaster High School. Other county students who are presently enrolled at Huntington College listed East Rockcreek, Bippus, Lancaster Central, West Rockcreek Center and Union Center as the high schools from which they graduated. cafeteria in the basement where the oresent Student Lounge is located; no post office (until the early 1940’s when it occupied the present business office); heating tumaces in the basement; chemistry laboratories in the present print shop; physics and biology laboratories in the present room 16; and the library beside the post office on the first floor until it was moved to second floor. In 1903 the Huntington College Auxiliary was formed by interested women of the community. President Baker Submits Plan President Dewitt Baker has requested and gained approval from the Board of Trustees to develop an “ Eight Year Plan for Growth at Huntington College.” The Public Relations and Development Council under the direction of President Baker, has already begun preliminary study to determine enrollment factors which will affect the other aspects of long range planning such as faculty requirements, curriculum direction, building construction and equipment needs. In a preliminary report to the Public Relations and Development Council, Dr. Baker noted, “ that in eleven years, from 1955 to 1%5, Huntington College has experienced a 147 percent growth in total enrollment representing a average annual growth of 13V4 percent.” This average rate of annual growth at Huntington is considerable higher than that of the average Indiana college which has grown at the rate of 7 percent per year. President Baker has solicited the entire college administration and faculty to submit the ideas they feel should be considered in the “Eight Year Plan.” They undertook various projects, one being a yearly housecleaning of the Ad Building. Over the years, tnis organization has invested over $50,000 in the building. They bought the first typewriter for its offices. Until 1930 the Ad Building was used to hold church services for the United Brethren members. The bell in the Ad Building tower called the congregation to church each Sunday. During the week the bell announced the beginning of all classes. Dr. Becker estimated that $375- 000 has been spent in the last 20 years for equipment, repairs, and improvements. Eight years ago, all of the outside brick wall was repointed. When inspectors for the North Central Association came to consider HC’s membership, they commended the college for the splendid way the old Ad Building had been preserved. Tammany Has Ham Dinner John Barnett, H. C. senior, received a twelve-pound ham for his Christmas bonus at the Locke Steel Chain Company. Since he lives in Wright where he can’t cook, he donated it to Tammany Hall. On Saturday, January 8, Barbara Straley and Gail Knudson served a ham supper to ten persons at the house. Ham, baked potatoes, corn, beams, cake and cherries, homemade rye bread contributed by Larry Ort, and milk were served (all-you-could eat style). The relaxed meal was attended by Barnett, Miss Straley, Miss Knudson, guest Miss Ty Carr, and residents Ort, Bob Thompson, Bill Smith, Calvin Hawkins, Doug Zeck, and Earle Gates. RICHMOND, Va. (C P S )----- Far from dying, the nation’s small colleges are prospering in this age of mass education, says Dr. Alfred T. Hill, executive secretary of the Council for the Advancement of the Small Colleges. “ Both quantitatively and qualitatively,” he said, "the small colleges arc growing very fast and very successfully. More small colleges are being started every year.” Hill was in Richmond to attend the ninth regional meeting of the small college council. The meeting is being held in conjunction with the 70th annual meeting of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Dr. Hill said he would much rather be facing the “ plight” of the small college than that of the large universities. He asserts the following: - The small colleges over the nation are increasing their enrollment. He says colleges associated with his council have increased enrollments this year by 15 to 20 per cent over last year’s figures. The faculty situations at the small colleges are improving. He says faculty salaries in the small colleges are increasing, and faculty quality is improving as well. - Small colleges are growing physically. Dr. Hill says that 300 New Look In Ivory Tower by Marie Karlger The entrance hall of the Administration building has a new look. Suspended across the entrance hall is a new sign in Old English lettering, “ The Fear of the Lord Is the Beginning of Knowledge, Proverbs 1:7.” Two oil paintings on loan from Frederic Lee Hollis, associate professor of art, have also been placed in the main hall. The sign was contributed by the book store through the efforts of Mrs. Arlene Zimmerman, book store manager. Mrs. Zimmerman credits the idea to Paul Cairl, new business manager for the college. A similar sign was mounted above the bulletin board when he was a student here. Upon his return to campus he missed the sign, remembering the inspiration it gave to him and possibly to other students as well. The quotation gives evidence of the Christian philosophy of Huntington College. “ Dust Bowl,” the oil painting seen on the left as one enters the Administration building, is a dark somber imaginary dust bowl bom of Mr. Hollis’s experience. He witnessed the dust bowl desolation while traveling in Kansas one summer. Located to the right of the “ Dust Bowl” painting, “My Old Kentucky Home” depicts a sad mood or feeling. This inspiration came from a picture Mr. Hollis saw, from Stephen Foster’s ballad, and from recollections of similar scenes in the South. new buildings are going up this decade on small college campuses. The overall cost will be around $100 million. - Financial support from private sources is increasing. Citing college financial reports, Dr. Hill says that private money has increased by about 15 percent in the past year in the typical small college budget. Advantages Offered Dr. Hill also says the small college offers a number of “ advantages.” First, he says, student - faculty relationships are much closer in the small school. Speaking of recent “ student unrest” , he observed that there has been much less “ unrest” on the small college campus. “ One reason . . . is that it is easier for the student in the small college to identify with something that is important to him,” Dr. Hill said. “ He knows his professors; relationships aren’t the sort of impersonal thing on which unrest is bred.” He also contends that the emphasis is on “ good classroom teaching” in most of the small colleges rather than on publishing and advanced research. “ I’m not throwing bricks at the universities or saying that we shouldn’t have advanced research,” he said. “ What I am saying is that the student working on an undergraduate degree is more likely to find that the small college puts its emphasis on excellence in classroom teaching.” Another “ advantage” he mentioned was the emphasis “ on liberal arts and the humanities in the small colleges.” The major universities, he said, conduct research in such fields as advanced science and engineering and have become involved in enormous government contracts and with industry. Co-operation Helps “ This is all very well,” Dr. Hill observed, “ but we’re advancing so rapidly . . . that there has to be a counterbalancing force." That force, he says, is found on the small college campus. “ The humanities give balance, judgment. wisdom, and human understanding.” Dr. Hill says that small colleges will survive because they are learning to cooperate for their mutual betterment. “Another rear son,” he says jokingly, “ is that Lyndon Baines Johnson is giving them billions of dollars.” Pasre 4 TEE HUNTINGTONIAN January 21, 1966 Managed News — - Wot Dat? Huntington College recently had an unusual event, a representative of Congress speaking politically in convocation. Edward Roush is a Democrat. Huntington College and the city of Huntington seem to be dominantly Republican, /s far as we’re concerned, both parties need help. But political stands do not enter into the subject of this editorial. Our subject is: An important event got poor press treatment. In most cities a Congressman’s speech is frontpage news, regardless of which party he represents. In the city of Huntington, it’s something we just don’t publish. A telegram sent by the Young Democrats to President Johnson was published, but even then under a misleading headline and after a stale “ equal time” article about the other party. Roush spoke on issues vital to millions of Americans. It was better than many speeches that hit the national wire services. It would help several thousand people in this city to vote more intelligntly next November. It was suppressed, and that’s not fair, whether we agree with him or not. Suppression of news contrary to a paper’s editorial policy is letting opinion get in the way of news coverage, and any journalism book will tell you that is poor journalism. The college’s public relations department did a much better job. Their news release reiterated faithfully his statements on Viet Nam. We were sorry, however, to see nothing in the release on 14-B, which Roush emphasized as the “most politically controversial issue” of our day. More complete coverage would have been desirable. Now we come down to a ticklish point: how the HUNTINGTONIAN reacted. We trust we are not partisan in our regular news coverage, and on the editorial pages we print any signed reasonable articles. On our news pages we print objectively what is news. The Democrats happened to make important news this issue, so they got prominent coverage. When the Rpublicans make news, they too will get coverage. We refuse to let editorial opinions dominaV our news pages. This is true freedom of the press. This is an American ideal. For the sake of the Republicans, we hope the Republicans make big news soon also, but if they do not, we can not conscientiously suppress valuable news just because of political affiliation, or manufacture something just to give “ equal time” . Our policy is, “He who makes news deserves coverage space: he who does not, does not.” About Those Stockpiles Doesn't Congress Care? The club that the Administration used to beat the aluminum companies into line was supplied unintentionally by Congress, and no one should be more concerned with the way it w:as used than Congress, according to the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. This club was the federal stockpile of aluminum, a stockpile built on appropriations from Congress. Time and again Congress had made it clear that strategic materials were being stockpiled in order to have supplies in national emergencies, not to regulate prices. For Congressmen were aw’are that an Administration might be so tempted, as was the present one. This Administration even tacitly acknowledged that its us of the aluminum stockpile to crush a price increase was outside the. sanction of law, for it avowed that the proposed dumping of aluminum from its stockpile was purely coincidental with the price increase. "What the Administration did, however, not what it said, is important. For what it did in this case was to treat the will of Congress as meaningless. Publicly no Senators and only two Congressmen have expressed concern. The two are Thomas B. Curtis (R-Mo.) ranking Republican on the Joint Economic Committee, and William B. Widnall (R. - N. J.), ranking Republican of the Joint Committee on Defense Production. Tney said that their committees should look into this price dispute because the Administration had, violated the intent of Congress and because similar situations migiu arise in the future. - - Business News Features THE HUNTINGTONIAN THE HUNTINGTONIAN is published bi-weekly by the students of Huntington College, Huntington, Indiana 46750.

Rudiments Rebuked by Bernita Herrberg Unfortunately, I believe, that the editorial “Rudiments of Rhodesia,” printed in the last edition of the Huntingtonian, led its readers to wrong conclusions. Should Rhodesia be considered “America’s little brother” ? Does she seek independence to establish greater freedom for her citizens, or does Rhodesia seek self-rule in order to continue a white tyranny? Does the United Kingdom “ harass” the Rhodesians in nullifying their passports, or is she, by so doing, upholding justice as well as her honor? Let’s see. The Rhodesian Front government led by Prime Minister Ian Smith is “ pledged to securing full self-rule under the present constitution.” And although the franchise of this constitution is “ technically nonracial” only 12,000 Africans have met the complex education, income, and property requirements to vote in 1964. Thus in a country inhabited by 3.9 million Africans only 12,000 enjoy the right of self-determinism. "Theoretically 40,000 to 50,000 Africans could qualify within 20 or so years. Africans have been barred completely from parliament until the 1961 ‘partnership constitution’ came into effect. They now have 15 of 65 seats in parliament.” Thus Rhodesia is a country ruled by a six percent minority - - 217,000 white men against 3.9 million Africans. In the past, British requirements for self-rule have been vaguely expressed in terms as “ broadening the franchise” and “ securing majority support.” But the Labor government is more precise and firm; Prime Minister Harold Wilson stated in October “ that he is totally opposed to granting independence to Southern Rhodesia so long as the government of that country remains under the control of a white minority.” Will the Rhodesian Front compromise and liberalise the franchise to gain British support? No. Its attitude was expressed early this year. The government announced then that income and property qualifications for voting were being raised by ten percent; this will affect primarily the Africans. Moreover, Ian Smith has said of the era of “ civilized control” : “As far as we are concerned it has to be for all time . . . there is going to be no more give.” And the European minority supports their prime minister. On November 5, 1964, in a national referendum the predominately white electorate voted nine to one in favor of independence under the present restrictive constitution. There is, however, still another trend in Rhodesian policy that causes greater misgiving. What is the status of justice and civil liberties in Rhodesia after 75 years of white rule? There is a reason for African political impotence. “Although they (African national leaders) have boycotted formal participation in parliament, Rhodesian nationalists have organized political parties, primarily to press for a new constitution. The parties have received mass support, but the Whitehead and Smith governments have effectively restrained African aspirations by successfully banning each party after allowing it a short existence, seizing its assets, and imprisoning its leaders on the grounds that they have condoned Editor’s Viewpoint Millstones and Milestones Christian Life Emphasis Week will be upon us in about a month. During this week we have a special evangelistic crusade designed to bring all students face to face with the saving grace of Jesus Christ. These services may or may not be considered revival services. A revival is a renewing within or a reconsecration. It is a rebirth in Christ Jesus. It is not a series of meetings. Christian Life Emphasis Week is a preaching mission. Hopefully, it will also be a revival for campus Christianity. If if is a tnie revival, it will bring students to a permanent relationship with God through Christ. Christians on campus will have to work hard both before and after the week if it will be effective. First, Christian, consider this: Are you a Christian by your own definition or by God’s? And is your practicing consistent with your preaching? If you fit God’s definition of a Christian, and if you live according to His will and consistently, then you are ready to witness to others. A true witness should not check off things from an arbitrary list of faults, labeling a person who has six out of ten “ sins” as nonchristian and relegating him to a prayer list. The true witness, rather, lives and talks so that others know his stand. He prays for Christians and for non-christians and for those of whom he is not sure. And he prays about his own witness. When Christians live consistent lives, then others will notice, and the name of Christian will be a badge of honor, not a millstone around the neck of a hypocrite. Thus the first demand for a successful Christian Life Emphasis Week is the soul-preparation of each Christian. Next we must pray for the crusade. Non-christians, weak Christians, the speakers, the committees, the special music, all the activities need fervent and expectant prayer. Individuals. prayer cells, dorm devotions, Sunday School classes, and mid-week prayer services all should emphasize this theme beginning right away - - this morning even. With a group of consecrated Christians laying a firm foundation like this, the week will evolve naturally as a climax, rather than a surprise. (We are assuming, of course, that proper publicity and groundwork have been done.) Souls will be won. But only the week should end. The following weeks must be spent in instructing the young Christians, helping them in Bible study and personal devotions, leading them through doubts, etc. Instruction and help must give the Christian a sound basis for new life and must gradually prepare him to live the Christian life on his own (with God’s help, of course). The emotion of CLE Week soon wears off. The commitment will also unless fellow Christians help the new man find a sound philosophical base and a real and lasting relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Rev. Gary Forbes, associate pastor of the First Methodist Church in Huntington, said recently in a sermon, “Emotion without instruction breeds fanaticism; instruction without emotion breeds hypocricy.” After CLE Week, too often we have let the instruction go, the emotion has gone away naturally, and commitments have been wasted. After such an experience, Christians are reminded that, “Oh, it’ll wear off after a few weeks anyway.” CLE Week the.n becomes a very real millstone around the Christian’s neck. Let’s handle CLE Week properly this year and make it a milestone along the road to heaven. ‘intimidation.’ ” Moreover, the Rhodesian government has passed so called “ security measures.” One such measure, the Law and Order Maintenance Act, contains a section which “ renders a person subject to up to a year’s imprisonment if he ‘utters any word or does any act . . . which is likely . . . to expose any government employee . . . to d.sesteem’ ” In March 1964 the Rhodesian government made effective a “ security measure” that sidesteps the restraint of that country’s judiciary. Consequently, some 145 national leaders have been placed in isolated “ restriction camps.” None were given a trial, a statement of charges, or the identity of their accusers. Nor could they appeal against their status to any court of law. The number of persons so held had reached 1,936 by December 1, 1964. In these events should Rhodesia be considered “America’s little brother?” Does she seek independence to establish greater freedom for her citizens, or does Rhodesia seek self-rule in order to continue a white tyranny? Does the United Kingdom “ harass” the Rhodesians in nullifying their passports, or is she, by so doing, upholding justice as well as her honor? You All by Mike Stallings My old school, Andrews, the Mnemosyne 1965, the Campus pond, and the new women’s dorm all seem worthy of mention in this issue that ends the old semester and begins a new year. Andrews is a pretty good school. Severed. HC graduates teach there, as well as a former professor, Mr. Martin. At least nine Huntington students attended Andrews: Alan Maxton, Helen Wright, Pat Bomersback, Bob Flora, Danny Smith, Rodger Smith, David Stephan, Steve Spei-cher, and myself. The Mnemosyne 1965 cover is “ big” with the gold HC seal on black. The double color page of the campus is “ real” . The future pond will further enhance the beauty of the campus. It will provide a place to skate and possibly other activities. Perhaps future Sophomores will pull future Freshman into Campus pond, rather than Little River. It seems to me there was much more than mere coincidence in the naming of the new women’s dorm. Only Huntington will be able to boast “ Hardy Women” for “Wright Men” . by Robert D. Thompson January 21, 1966 THE HUNT!JN ETONIAN Page 5 On Coercion - Part II Airs Views on Freedom New Coins Fake Out Machines by Jack Wilbur There is a practice in our country which must be stopped. This is the practice of the public’s use of a subtle yet very recil coercion of forcing its will on individuals in such a manner as to make it seem that anyone who practices what it is against is in the wrong and not the public. It goes something like this: “You (a white person) cannot marry that person (a negro), because of the torture you will cause the children to go through.’ ’ It is a foregone conclusion t h a t the children will suffer because of such a union. It is also true that the children will not suffer if the mixed couple were to marry into their own races. It is not therefore true that any suffering is the fault of the parents. Suppose a man is to be executed according to the law for a crime deserving such a punishment. Suppose also that the brother of Temper of the Times by Galen Eberhart Hey! We finally caught the middle one of the trio. I do not know where we will catch the butcher and candlestick maker, but we have the Baker. It was about time! Next jewel - - A top military analyst says that we have never lought a war such as this. We tell the world that we continue to seek peace and negotiations with North Viet Nam. In the U. S. we are told that the “ Peace Marchers” are hurting our effort to “win” the war. Come on boys, just what are we doing, or rather trying to do? On the line - - Balance of power in the world? It has been and still is with the U. S. Let us keep it that way “Mac” with a balanced line of defense! Perhaps a little military advice from the military to this civilian would be beneficial. After all, would you have a man cut out your appendix if he had had no medical training? Are you “ one for b” , or not “ one for b” is the question? Senator Dirksen in an interview with “ U. S. News and World Report,” January 17, 1966, declares that he has received as much, or more, mail from union members than from non-union people asking for retention of 14 (b). As an example: “ You can use my name if you want to. I’ve been a member of my local for 25 years. We have a good local, and the reason we have a good local is because we’ve got 14 (b).” Need more be said? One man, one vote! Equality obtained in an undemocratic nation! By the fact that gigantic cities will grasp the mace of power destroys the very principles of our Republic! We are a republic, not a democracy. If you doubt me, consult your copy of the Constitution. Out of this Supreme Court decision could very easily come a dictatorship of the majority that could deny a minority its rights. Los Angeles can control California, Chicago in Cook County can do as it pleases with the rest of the 101 counties, or Indianapolis can dictate policy to Huntington County and its residents. Our forefathers in framing the Constitution protected the minority from the majority, but this revolting “ judicial legislation” opens the doors wide to a terrible plague of tyranny. “ Chet, have you heard those persistent rumors lately that larger herds of elephants with good long memories are massing for a sudden stampede to the stomping grounds?” “Yes, David, they seem to be everywhere!” Ihe condemned man threatens to murder an innocent captive un less his brother is set free, further stating that if the executioner carries out his duty, he, the executioner, will be responsible for the death of the captive. It is obvious that one cannot so easily slough off such responsibility by putting another in a compromising position and then saying that he now bears the guilt of any threatened deeds. The fact still remains that it is the executioner’s duty to execute his prisoner and it is still a crime for the brother to take the life of an innocent person. Likewise when a community or nation of people so coerce others and put them into a compromising situation of resulting harm to loved ones, they cannot shift the guilt. They cannot say that since we will punish your children for your execution of your lawful rights as citizens, you are to blame for that punishment. It is your crime not ours. If you will give in to us we will not make it hard on your children. You are forcing us; therefore you are wrong. They cannot say this. What they mean is that if you act as you wish, we are going to break any iaw necessary to make you suffer for hot giving in to us. We’re not old-fashioned, we just don’t believe in polluting our “ pure” Scotch - Irish - Dutch - German - Italian - Greek - Polish - Iroquois - French - Danish - American blood line. Its pure and we’re going to keep it that way. These people who believe in mixed marriages are violating the rights of others. We have a right to pursuit of happiness and this does not make us happy. Everything should be the same - - uniformity - why must everyone be different. We realize that they have the right to the liberty of their own decisions, but other things are more important. When they mix, they don’t harm my property, my ego or violate my rights. It’s kind of vague, exactly what their crime is, but I just don’t like it. So we’ll put it to a stop. We’ll warn them of the chil- ' aren. We don’t want that kind of kids around anyway, they’re not like normal kids. So it goes, but not forever. As greater evils fall to the way side lesser ones take on more significance. One day this too will be challenged, though probably never in any large numbers. People will one day say “ It’s none of your business whom I marry.’ Just like the present civil rights movement, this victory will come hard, but it will come and a lot of innocent people will get hurt just because the man down the block is a self-appointed judge and jury. Like most things this is not without its humor though. If you ever want to see an award winning performance just mention lo a segregationist that you don’t see anything wrong with mixed marriages. “ You what’ . . . pause for effect . . . “ I can’t believe it, you mean you’d ! ’ . . . face shows shock . . . waits for implications take effect . . . “No!” . . . holds stomach . . . face becomes pale, get the plastic bag . . . shakes head in disbelief . . . “ I just can’t be lieve it !” I honestly think the idea intrigues them. Receives Plaque It’s been said in some quarters that machines are becoming smarter than men. Maybe so, but in one recent instance a group of men combined their talents to fool twelve million machines. What’s more, the machines still don’t know they’re being tricked. The decieved devices are America’s vending machines, pay phones, parking meters and other coin-operated instruments. It’s been quite a job to gull them into accepting those new dimes, quarters and half-dollars - - the ones that contain less silver than heretofore. The new coins were necessary because there just isn’t enough silver to go around. Other countries have already switched to silverless or reduced-silver coins. Our own stockpile of silver was declining at a rate that Is God's Word Still Relevant? by Bob Kahly A number of years ago a certain man was convinced that the world was to be flooded. As he prepared a boat in which to live during the days of the flood, his neighbors mocked him. The word spread and people from surround-ing areas began pouring into the city to see the work of an eccentric old man. When the boat was finished, the man and his family entered the boat and waited. Outside the people continued in their wicked ways of hollow pleasure. Then with a resounding crash the lightning flashed and the thunder rumbled. Rain fell first in big drops, then in continuing acceleration until th e laughter of a mocking world turned to horror. Too late, they perished because they failed to take the words of a Godly man seriously. A number of years later a man urged his sons-in-law to leave town with him. He declared that the Lord was going to destroy the city. The sons-in-law laughed at him. Early in the morning this man left town with his wife and daughters. With the extreme wickedness still reigning and the mocking laughter echoing through the early morning air, the destruction fell. No one escaped the town except righteous Lot and his family. Again men had mocked the Word of God, and they perished. A number of people today have heard the Word of God. All men are sinners. Repentance and faith in Christ are necessary for salvation from the promised destruction. A gloomy outlook, yes, but if what God spoke in former times came to pass, will it not be so today. Ridicule and sneering remarks everyday are directed to the Word of God. Disbelieving laughter fills the air. So it will continue until the time is up, and men will not be “ saved by the bell.” But, they will go through all eternity hearing their mocking laughter and remembering that they could have taken the Word of God seriously. What about you, fellow HC’er? Have you taken God seriously or are you too going to perish? “ How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation?” (Hebrews 2:3). YMCA Honors Dr. Lange would have wiped it out in three years. Having decided to purchase coins that contain less silver, the U. S. Treasury faced the awesome problem of altering millions of vending machines so they’d accept the new coins - - a two-and-a-halfyear job - or of trying to perfect a coin that the machines would accept as genuine. The problem was turned over to the Battelle Memorial Institute, a nonprofit research group in Columbus, Ohio. Battelle experts considered other metals in place of silver but quickly rejected most of them. Aluminum, for example, College Grades Index To Success Depending on your current academic standing, you’ll either be heartened or sobered by a discovery revealed in the November Reader’s Digest. It is that in a study of 17,000 men working for a leading industial company, success in college was the most reliable indicator of success in a career. The company that made the study is one of the nation’s largest, American Telephene and Telegraph Co. In the Digest article A. T. & T. Board Chairman Frederick R. Kappel says that the men in the top third of their classes at college, 45 percent were also in the top-salaried third of the company. At the other end of the scale, 40 percent of those in the lowest third of their schools were also in the lowest third in salary. Kappel says that although the quality of the college makes some di ference, it is less of a difference than the quality of the man. That is, top students from average colleges were more successful than average students from top colleges. Another discovery made in the survey was that extra-curricu ar activities in co lege bore little relationship to career success. “ It is only real campus achievement that seems to have significance,” says Kappel. “Mere participation in extra-curricular goings-on does not.” The significance of these findings is apparent. “More and more,” says the telephone company chief, “ these statistical guidelines dispose us to look within the top half of the college class for the individuals to whom we will offer career opportunities.” was too light. Just think of trying to toss a lightweight aluminum coin into a toll-highway basket on a windy day! Pure nickel couldn’t be used, since it has magnetic properties and U. S. coin machines won’t take magnetic coins. Other metals were rejected for a variety of other reasons. Finally the experts came up with the right answer: a combination of an alloy called cupronickel on the outside faces, with a pure-copper core between, the whole thing resembling a coin sadwich. The new coins were tried out on vending machines and were found to work every time. The laminated cupronickel-copper makeup got by even the most rigorous of the tests by which modem machines reject washers, play money, steel discs, counterfeit coins and other fakes. The new coins will cut our use of silver for coinage by ninety percent. And we didn’t have to alter a single coin machine to do it. Now who’s smarter? — Readers Digest News Service H.C. Receives 3-M Grant Huntington College has recently received a 3-M Company Assistance Grant to Education. 3-M Age II is a $1.5 million program designed to assist future teachers now enrolled in the teacher training schools and colleges of the United States. Available to t h e qualifying schools is a $2000 maximum grant in teaching tools and materials. It is the belief of the 3-M Company that the future of our edulational system lies in the ability of teachers to stimulate and motivate their students; and, therefore, tools and methods that will give them greater flexibility in their classroom presentation will help to accomplish this. In the announcement of this grant the 3-M Company states, “ In the final analysis, there can be no doubt that the best teaching machine ever devised is a good teacher. If we can help them to become ever better teachers, we will feel that our program has been a success.” Mrs. Helen Forbes, representative of the 3-M Company, demonstrated to the Huntington College faculty the many uses of the equipment received under this 3-M AGE II grant.

In winter, spring, in summer, fall Its majesty delighted me. But then one day I looked and cried; No longer filled with life so fair, The leaves upon my tree had died.

Rog and Rody Deputation Team Will Tour Again Next Summer LaDoyt Rodeheaver and Roger Skinner will be working this summer for Huntington College. The large part of their summer will be spent in United Brethren Church Camps, but they will occasionally participate in retreats and conventions. Last summer the team travelled from Pennsylvania to California meeting hundreds of teenagers along the way. The purpose of these summer tours is two-fold. The first and guilding principle is reaching teens for Christ. Secondly, the team serves in a public relations recruit-capacity among the youth with whom they come in contact. Due to last summer’s experiences it has been decided to add an accompanist to the team. This addition was made to relieve the host camp’s pianist of a heavy burden and also to improve upon the quality of the team. As of yet the new position has not been filled. Rog and Rody attempt to use every source of talent they can muster. They have on many occasions stated that God has given them their talent, and that they are going to prove their talents to the hilt for Jesus Christ. January 21, 1906 THE HUNTIJNETONIAN Page 7 Hot Foresters Upset Indiana Tech. 110-106 Forfeit Still Remains Conference Question By Kirby Warren On December 14 the Huntington College Foresters played Grace College in their first Mid-Central Conference game in which the Lancers defeated the Foresters 99-96. However the Foresters’ defeat may be erased because Grace later had to forfeit their victory on the grounds of an ineligible player. Bob Blanchard, a sophomore at Grace College, was a member of the Lancer squad and had played against the Foresters in this conference game. Bob who last year attended Ashland College in Ashland, Ohio, did not participate in the Ashland basketball program. However, by the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics rules, of which H. C. is a member and Grace is an associater member, a player can not participate in intercollegiate athletics without sitting out one semester if he has transferred from another college or university. By allowing Blanchard to play, Grace had to forfeit the game by a violation of NAIA rules. T h e Mid - Central Conference rules do allow a transfering player to play if he had not previously taken part in the sport. Blanchard had not played at Ashland but in allowing him to play Grace overlooked the NAIA ruling. The fact was called to the attention of the Grace team, and they arranged a meeting where they agreed to forfeit their first semester games on the grounds that Blanchard could participate MCC Loss Huntington Stunned The Concordia College Saxons handed our Foresters their first conference loss of the year Thursday niCTht, January 6 on the foes’ floor. Concordia moved in front in the Mid-Central Conference battle when they tilted the Mauri Reedsmen 87-73. The Saxons stand 2-0 in conference play and 4-6 for the year. The Foresters evened their conference record for a 1-1 standing and 7-5 for the season. The Saxons were a “ ball of fire” as they burned the nets with a scorching .532, hitting 33 of 62 from the field. The Foresters couldn’t cope with the Saxon “ hot hand” as they could only hit 29 of 77 for .377. Huntington took an early 3-1 lead only to have the Concordia squad walk off with a 48-24 advantage at halftime. Reed’s locker room talk couldn’t stop Concordia shooting as they cruised to the victory. Tim Frey topped the Forester shooters with 27, while Kent Paul followed with 16. James Seegars led the Saxon scoring with 26. Summary: Concordia 87, Huntington 73.

This agreement was not received by coajch Mauri Reed, but it was published in the newspapers. After having another meeting, Grace changed their minds and now will wait for a decision from the Executive Council of the M.C.C., which has a meeting planned. Thus, the forfeit is not legally decided at the time of this printing, leaving the situation to be decided upon when the Council hands down a decision from the officials of the NAIA. Coach Reed commented that if the game is not forfeited, it could give the conference a “ black eye” and could also weaken it. H. C. Trips Up Bible College The Huntington Foresters started the Christmas vacation appropriately, taking a “ vacation” from defense, but still managed to eke out a 109-103 win over Fort Wayne Bible College. The game was played Saturday night, December 18, at Fort Wayne and brought the season’s record to six wins and five losses. The ragged run-and-shoot affair was marred by a coach’s nightmare - 28 errors by the Foresters. Hot shooting by Kent Paul and Tim Frey overcame the defensive and ball - handling deficiencies, however. The two combined for 69 points, Paul hitting 35 and Frey 34. Freshman Phil Rice gave Coach Mauri Reed some encouragement, as the 6’6” Roanoke product canned 14 points, his personal high for the season, in a reserve role. Stan Inniger, Jerry Embry, and Dick Lovestrand paced the Ambassador attack with 22, 21, and 19, respectively. Summary: Huntington (109), Fort Wayne Bible (103).

W. Bible 44. By Jim Cox The Huntington Foresters overcame a rebound deficit with .505 shooting and unset the Indiana Tech Warriors 110-106 in a Mid- Central Conference tilt Saturday night, January 8. The win threw the conference race into a scramble, demonstrating that defending champ Tech is beatable for a change. Concordia, presumably the conference weakling, took over the conference lead with a 2-0 mark, by virtue of a tentative forfeit bv Grace and an upset win ever Huntington. The Foresters are second at 2-1 (also including a forfeit by Grace) and Tech is 1-1. The Warriors moved out to an early ll-noint lead on hit shooting bv guards Ross Cole and Jim Whitt and superior board strength. The cold Foresters suddenly warmed up and hacked away at (he deficit. All five starters shared in the “ fun and Hunting-ton carried a 56-54 lead into the dressing room at halftime. The teams battled on even terms throughout the early part of the second half with the Forester’s hot-shooting and improved rebounding by Kent Paul and Tim Frey offsetting the hot hands of Cole and Whitt. Then with the score knotted at 89 and 5:32 left Paul canned a pair of short jumpers and clutch-shooting freshman Stan Gilbert hit three straight fielders of the Elgin Baylor variety, giving the Foresters a sudden 1en-point bulge at 99-89. Again charge and cut the gap, but Paul stole a pass and converted it into a three-point play, Frey hit a pair of his crowd-pleasing jumpers, and it appeared the Foresters were “ in.” With a half-minute left the warriors again sliced the lead to two at 108-106. Paul missed the first of a one-and-one, but Tech returned the favor on a ball-handling error, and Gilbert calmly iced the game with a pair of charity tosses. The Foresters may never be noted for their stingy defense, but if Saturdays shooting was typical of things to come, H. C. fans wont complain. Paul hit 14 of 26 from the field and a total of 32 points, Frey canned 9 of 19 and 20 points and Gilbert, the team’ s top percentage shooter, scored 25 on 10 of 17. If this left anything to be desired, guards Paul Bair and Jack Davis added 17 and 13 points to the attack. Frey, a retd workhorse on the boards, was the leading rebounder, and Paul, as usual, led in assists, feeding teammates for five easy buckets. Woodsmen Win Tech’s fine freshman Jim Whitt, a Fort Wayne Central product, led all scorers with 33 points and it didn’t take him many shots to do it. His running mate Ross Cole hit for 29, mostly on long bombs. The Warriors forward wall of Mike Wood, Walt Byers, and Jim Brown led a 57-49 rebounding edge, but their shooting was not up to par - - Tech made only 44 of 109 (.404) from the field despite excellent shooting by the two guards. Huntington has now won 8 of 13 games this season - - the best “ allgame” record among the Mid- Central Conference teams. Summary: Huntington 110, Indiana Tech 106.
