Sig Ep House Faces
An Uncertain Future
by Malt Rrockmeier
The fate of the Sig Ep house has
again been brought into question
w ith the issue of possible
recolonization of the house by the
national fraternity. According to
John Schneider, the only present
Sig Ep in favor of retaining the
fraternity on campus, rushers
from other schools will probably
be coming to Lawrence within the
next several weeks to attempt to
get new m em bers for the
fraternity for next year. This
move is being opposed by the
other 15 members of the house,
who are all in favor of creating
the Co-op. The national fraternity
will attempt to excercise its right
to the house to create a new
fraternity.
Symphony Orchestra
To Perform Sunday
The L aw rence S ym phony
Orchestra, under the direction of
Professor of M usic Kenneth
Byler, will appear in their third
performance of the ’72-’73 con­
cert season this Sunday, April 8
at 8 p.m. in the Chapel. The 56member orchestra will present
four works in Sunday’s concert—
Aaron Coplands’s An Outdoor
Overture, Music for Orchestra,
Op. 50 by Wallingford Reigger,
c.p.e. bach’s Concerto in D
Major, and Johanees B rah m ’s
Symphony No. 4, in E minor, Op.
28.
The other appearances of the
orchestra during the 72-73 have
been in the 125th Anniversary
Concert
fe a tu rin g
v io lin ist
Charles Treger and premeiring
Ron Nelson’s Prayer of the
Emperor of China, designed to
generate Alpha brain waves, and
the performance of The Messiah
with the Choral Society last
December. Their season will
te rm in a te w ith the Ju n e 8
commencement concert.
Leonard Berstein has said that
am o ng A m e rica n com posers
Aaron Copland “ is the best we
h a v e .”
C o p la n d ’s
O utdoor
Overture will be the opening
number Sunday night, followed
by the work of another American
composer, Wallingford Reigger
Reigger, according to Byler, is
“ one of the most imaginative and
innovative of American com ­
posers. He was doing things and
trying things in the 30’s that other
composers didn’t catch up with
until the 50’s.” According to
a tu h o rity
V irg il
T hom pson
“Orchestral imagination and a
poltergeist’s musical wit give
him a special place among U.S.
composers.” The orchestra will
present R e ig g e r’s M usic for
Orchestra, Op 50, composed in
1953.
Preceeding the intermission
will be C P E. Bach’s Concerto in
D Major. (Allegro moderato.
A ndante
lento m olto,
and
Allegro.) C.P.E. is the son of
Johann Sebastian
The' fin al n u m b e r w ill be
Jo h a n n e s B r a h m ’s Sym phony
No. 4,in E minor. Op 98. This
piece, according to R.A. Leonard
in his book The Streanni of Music,
shows that “ the manifold powers
of the artist himself and here
reached their clim ax, and is the
particular sphere of his over­
shadow ing
greatness;
and
because there after he never
a tte m p te d a n ty th in g of such
dimensions, intensity, or emtional range ”
The numbers chosen for the
performance keep in line with the
repertoire philosophy of the
orchestra, expressed by Byler as,
first “ to afford technical and
m u sica l experience for p a r ­
ticipating students and com ­
munity members in represen­
tative orchestral literature on all
styles and periods of music
history. To present to audiences
of the college and community
such music as part of the liberal
arts p ro g ram , and to plan
repertoire on a basis of four year
cycles without repetition within
that period.”
The concert will take place in
the Chapel at 8 p.m. Sunday
evening. Admission, as usual, is
free.
This a g ain brings up the
question of exactly what the Co­
op will try to accomplish, as well
as the difference between the Co­
op’s ideals of the potential new
Sig Ep house.
What the backers of the Co-op
hope to create is what they have
termed a “ fraternity in the truest
sense of the word,” a living unit
in which the members would be
responsible for their own well­
being and the well-being of each
other. In order to work towards
this goal the members of the
proposed Co-op would take care
of such tasks as cooking all their
meals, cleaning (with a maid no
longer being required), and in
general being a m ore in ­
dependent and cooperative living
unit than has been seen at
Lawrence in the past.
The backers at the Co-op also
remarked that they hoped the
students would become more
independent of what has been
called a paternalistic attitude on
the part of the school in matters
of housing, with most things
being alre a d y done for the
student.
Sager Wins Board Seat
Appleton voters re-elected
Associate Professor Kenneth
Sager to the city’s board of
education. Sager, who will be
serving his fourth consecutive
term , has also been board
president for the past several
years. He received the highest
number of votes in the Tuesday
election, in which the top three
vote-getters were elected.
Sager stated that serving as a
m em b er of the board has
provided ‘‘a la b o rato ry ex ­
perience, almost a pragmatic
graduate course.” He faces in
real life many of the textbook
problem s of ed u catio n al a d ­
ministration such as finance,
personnel, and c a p ita l im ­
provement
His work in the Education
Department also makes him
better equipped to serve in his
civic c a p acity . A ccording to
Sager, his reading in preparation
for courses, as well as his work
with student teachers assist him
in choosing strategies for dealing
with
the
school
s y s te m ’s
problems.
M E. SA G ER
Before joining the LU faculty
ten years ago, the associate
professor worked in the Appleton
Public Schools for 19 years.
In response to this is the feeling
that the Sig Ep fraternity should
be recolonized on this campus
and that this recolonization would
be in part a show of the strength
of the Greek system here. Ac­
cording to John Schneider, the
intent of recolonizing the house is
stated merely as that, not an
attempt to destroy the idea of a
Co-op, merely not letting the Co­
op take the place in the Sig Ep
house.
S chneider,
w hile
discussing the matter, also stated
that Lawrence can at the present
tim e
support
six
n atio n al
fraternities.
On the point of how many
fra te rn itie s
L aw rence
can
handle. Dean Charles Lauter said
in an interview that he felt that
interest in the frats at this time
was not sufficient to necesitate
having six nationals, since the
number of pledges has declined
over the past several years.
However, the school would not
oppose
an
a tte m p t
at
recolonization which remained
within the school’s rushing rules.
As far as the criterion for
membership in each type of unit
is concerned, the Co-op is at­
tempting to have a simple system
for choosing who will live in the
house, while the fraternity would
re m a in
w ith the s tan d ard
guidelines set up by the national
The Co-op would first of all
strive for compatability among
it’s prospective members. This
would mean that the students
should be able to live and work
together easily, in “ peace and
harmony .” If there are then more
people than places (about 18 men
and 10 women would live in the
Co-op) a lottery would be con­
ducted as the sole rem aining
c rite ria . This entire system
would be an attempt to “create
an element of fairness” in the
selection process.
In its attempt to recolonize the
house, the national group would
attempt to find men interested in
becoming a part of a fraternity,
within the framework of the
Greek system
The members of the Co-op have
emphasized several points which
they consider important in this
issue. One is that the other living
units on campus are in their view
quite p a te rn a lis tic in their
operation. In their view a living
unit such as the Co-op could
provide a self-reliant atmosphere
operating under a system where
the members would be respon­
sible for their own survival and
well-being. They feel that the
school does too much in some
cases for living units, and that
this is not suitable for many
people In order to survive, very
good cooperation am o ng the
members is seen as essential for
the Co-op.
The members of the Co-op also
feel that the Sig Ep house is the
only facility on campus which
would be su itab le for the
proposed living unit. It is seen as
the only house which has large
enough kitchens and common
areas for what they are striving
for
New Library Policy
Explained to Students
“ In response to administrative,
faculty, and student pressures,”
the library will be initiating a
policy of “ tight security,” ac­
co rding to D ennis R ibbens,
librarian.
Beginning Monday, April 9, a
student will be assigned the duty
of checking every library user
passing the circulation desk.
Purses, bags, briefcases, and
other portable containers will be
inspected and books will be
checked. Due to the possible
confusion at closing hours that
m ight result from the new
procedures, no l>ooks or reserves
will be checked out within 20
minutes of closing time.
D u rin g C h ristm a s break a
traffic regulation barrier was set
up in the lobby of the library.
Since that time, according to
R ib ben s, ‘‘it has been c o n ­
sid erab ly easier to m a in ta in
some kind of scru tin y over
existing library users.”
Nevertheless, he added, “ from
all indications library theft and
un au thorized borrow ing c o n ­
tinues at about the same level as
they did before.” Although the
problem of theft is ‘ ‘c o m ­
paratively m in im al,” Ribbens
said that "inconvenience caused
by even a small degree of theft
and unauthorized borrowing is
in to le ra b le to the a c a d e m ic
process.”
Ribbens admitted that this new
policy will probably be greeted
“ by approval among some and by
ad am e n t
rejection
am o ng
others.” He added, however, that
“whatever our responses might
Ih\we can at least rally around
the co m m o n purpose of a t ­
tempting to regulate the flow of
library m aterials in order to
ensure an even greater likelihood
than exists at present of finding a
desired item at the point it is in
sight.”
Besides initiating a policy of
“tight security” the library has
also changed its c irc u la tio n
policy. Books and documents are
now issued on a term basis. After
two weeks, however, l>ooks and
documents are subject to recall
and must be returned within 24
hours If they are not returned
when due, there will be a $1.00
charge fee for each notice.
“ So far people are reacting
very well” to thr new circulation
policy, according to Ms. Doris
Giese, circulation librarian. She
added that a problem might arise
if people keep books they are not
using until the end of the term,
instead of returning the hooks
when they are finished with
them,

Bringing Music to You
Judging from attendance, the Lawrence University Jazz
Ensemble seems to be the only student activity of any worth on
this campus. We don’t really believe this conclusion, but we
have begun to wonder why it is that other concerts and recitals
are poorly attended.
A few of the reasons we came up with are 1) poor
scheduling, 2) poor publicity, 3) unappealing program
material, 4) inconvenient location, 5) lack of attention being
paid to “ total performance” (ie. stage discipline, program
order and design, etc. as well as good playing) and 6) poor
attitude on the part of the Lawrence community.
The scheduling of performances at the busiest times of the
school year almost always has to be; but, perhaps more late
evening and weekend recitals would help.
The amount of printed publicity could not be increased
because the deluge that would result would simply be too much
for the Lawrence communitv to handle. Word of mouth
publicity would help a lot. The musicians on campus generally
have an idea of what a performance will be like—good or bad,
old music-new music, fast-slow, elaborate or simple. They
should, of course, let the community know about things by
word of mouth, but if they don’t the community should cer­
tainly ask them.
The program m aterial itself can only change if there is
more community feedback. Dean Charles Schwartz, new to
the conservatory this year, has been looking for more feed­
back—especially from college students—let him have it!
Feedback to Dean Schwartz in another area has already
resulted in the scheduling of some term III recitals in the
Union both in the afternoons and late evenings. If you like this
idea of recitals at a more convenient place and time, show it by
attending these recitals.
Although there is a problem of some recitalists not being
trained by their teachers to think in terms of “ total per­
formance,” nevertheless the conservatory still has many who
are truly “ performers.” To discover who those people are and
when they will perform next is not difficult.
The final reason which we feel contributes to the poor
attendance of concerts and recitals by Lawrentians is an
undefinable thing called audience attitude. We somehow get
the feeling that most non-music majors are afraid to go to
these events . . . , afraid to bob their heads to the music, afraid
to venture musical opinions within 50 yards of a “ connie” ,
afraid to say “ I liked it” or “ I didn’t like it” without a textbook
reason . . . , afraid for a thousand and one reasons—all of
which we think are invalid.

Every so often the Lawrence
Artist Series comes up with a
p e rfo rm a n c e so special that
afterwards, one can only say that
“ it happened.” Such a concert
was pianist Alicia de Larrocha’s
appearance in the Chapel on
March 29.
Mme. de Larrocha is a tiny
w o m an whose seem ing e f­
fortlessness at the keyboard is
almost difficult to believe. For
those of us fam iliar with the
C hapel in stru m e n t, the big,
w arm sound she was able to draw
from it was all the more in
credible.

privilege that the second half
consisted entirely of selections
from the Spanish repertoire
(Granados and Albeniz) in which
Mme. de Larrocha is unap

The only sour note of the entrie
evening was the m ute one
sounded by the shamefully large
number of empty seats in the

members of the Lawrence and

in the dubious “star quality" of a

by Jim Thompson
One of the great philosophers of
the C hristian Church, Saint
Augustine, said, “To sing is to
pray twice.” With all the singing
that went on at All Saints’
E piscopal
Church
Monday
evening, March 26, the heavens
must have thought they w e re
under attack.
The day was the feast of the
A nnunciation of the Blessed
Virgin, which celebrates the day
when the Archangel G abriel
came to Mary and told her that
she was to bear the Son of God. To
observe this feast, the Lawrence
Christian Fellowship and the
Lawrence Evensong Singers (a
group of college students that
sings an evening prayer service
every Sunday night at All Saints’
at 7:00 p .m .) sang solemn
Vespers. Attending with them
were about 190 interested clergy
and laity from Appleton and
outlying areas, and as special
guests, the Rt. Rev. William H.
Brady, Episcopal Bishop of Fond
du Lac, and the Most Rev.
Aloyisius Wyeislo, Bishop of the
Roman Catholic Diocese of Green
Bay.
The Vespers, which is the
C hristian C h u rc h ’s ancient
service of evening prayer, was
used with much song and
solemnity. Jim Thompson, one of
the Evensong Singers, was the
offic ian t; the C hristian F e l­
lowship and the Evensong
Singers formed the choir and the
acolytes necessary for the ser­
vice; Lawrentian Richard Kerr
played the prelude, postlude and
the necessary service music on
the organ The congregational
participation from the mixed
group of people attending from
all denom inations was truly
encouraging as a sign ot unity at
least of attitude.
A dinner was held afterwards
in the All Saints’ Parish Hall
served by the ladies of All Saints’
under the direction of Ms. Lee
Beard and Ms. Anne LeBrake.
The dinner was delicious which
the Lawrence students were sure
to realize, for they served
everyone else before they
themselves were seated! It was a
good way to rem ind them ,
someone of their number said, of
the statement Christ m ad e:
“ Whoever wishes to be great in
the kingdom of heaven must
become the servant of a ll.”
The two bishops gave short
talks on their impressions of the
cause and works of Christian
Unity, which have been ad
m ira b ly s u m m a riz e d by the
A ppleton Post-Crescent, an d
therefore need no reinteration
One of Bishop Brady’s remarks
bears heeding, though: “ Unity
will come in G od’s good time.” it
is good to think about in this
way—not that Christians should
be sitting on their duffs and do
nothing active towards Christian
unity, the Bishop said, but the
Christian must be careful not to
try to invent a church. The best
way that will pull all Christians
together is prayer: which brings
us back again to “God’s own good
tim e.” All in all the evening was
an astounding success, and all
concerned were truly greatful for
this ecumenical chance.
The Evensong singers and the
LCF welcome anyone on and off
campus to their weekly groups:
the Evensong Singers sing at All
Saints’ (corner of Drew' and
College, by the Con) every
Sunday evening at 7:00 p.m. LCF
has weekly meetings at 6:45 on
W ednesdays at the Newman
Center, which is located behind
the co nse rvatory . Come and
praise with u s !!!!

Two Views on the Future of the House
Co-op
A group of rushers from the national Sigma Phi Epsilon
Fraternity in all probability will soon be on campus to solicit
new membership for their local organization. Meanwhile, the
former members of the fraternity are attempting to establish
a co-operative living unit in the Sig Ep house. The controversy
over the future of the featernity house has extended to the
Lawrentian editorial staff and thus the paper per se finds it
impossible to take an encompassing stand on the issue.
Therefore, we wisn to present both sides of the problem in a
forum format.
Frat
The presence of representatives of the national
organization of Sigma Phi Epsilon on campus has been under
strong attack. Protests against this seem to be for two
reasons; resentment toward outsiders (characterized by the
use of the term “ professional rushers’’ ) stirring interest in the
Sig Ep fraternity among students, and fear of what would
happen to the Co-op presented by the current residents of the
house if the colonizers were successful in resurrecting the
fraternity.
The concern shown by the national organization in
desiring to re-organize its Lawrence chapter should be ex­
pected. Indeed, if it chose to ignore this situation, it would soon
lose its legitimacy, leaving its remaining collegiate chapters
with a total loss of trust.
Claiming that anyone interested in the possibilities to be
found in the Greek system should join one of the five stronger
fraternities is denying a chance to establish a new group
within the system. Speaking of all the existing fraternities as a
bloc is only partially feasible. The reason for the existence of
the five groups present, instead of one big fraternity, is the
diversity to be found within them Until just a few years ago,
six was a viable number of groups here. Students are
presented with a unique opportunity: to combine the regular
system with a chance to be new and innovative.
Perhaps one of the most persuasive arguments advanced
against belonging to a fraternity is the avoidance of petty
unjustified labelling. The opportunity to join a new fraternity
is an opportunity to begin an organization on equal standing
with the rest of the fraternities without fear of typing oneself.
One would not have to fear the constraints of a label, such as
“ jock,” “ freak,” “ booker,” or “ super-straight,” as a
bothersome precipitate of membership.
If the recolonization is successful, and there are, at the
moment, no indications that it will be, recolonizers can, in
essence, do no more than tap feelings already present through
more effective rush techniques. It is not that the Sig Eps will
streamroll people, but their more concentrated effort and
enthusiasm may prove successful.
The Co-op idea contains many possibilities, but its
greatest strength may also be its biggest liability. The free,
communal idea it aspires to, leaves it without any assurance
that it will last for any amount of time, even for an entire year.
People advocating the Co-op claim the Sig Ep house has
the best facilities to enable success of their living unit; that is,
a common area and a kitchen. Yet this group has found it
impossible up to this point to live together even under a system
which had definite structures, goals, and commitments.
Therefore it seems only just that the national fraternity
should be allowed to present their program to the Lawrence

M em ber Urges Support
To the Kditor:
I have been a member of Sigma
Phi Epsilon Fraternity all my
years at Lawrence. Even though
i am a graduating senior, I am
actively supporting the formation
of a co-operative living unit to
replace my fraternity. 1 do this,
not out of bitterness, but with the
hope that the same spirit of
comradery which I experienced
may not only survive for others,
but be enhanced through this
dynamic new form.
I have no doubt whatsoever
that the Co-op would succeed if it
is given a chance. It has too many
positive features and too much
support to fail. A Co-op could
provide a meaningful alternative
to all other living units by freeing
its m em bers from the A d ­
ministrative paternalism which
is so often present at Lawrence.
The students themselves would
assume full responsibility for
their social life style and I believe
(hat the resulting situation would
be beneficial to both the m em ­
bers and the communitv as a
Last term, 94 percent of the campus Sig Eps voted to de­
activate and institute a co-operative living unit. Of the sixteen
members, only one person, a senior, opted to remain a Sig Ep.
This was the culmination of a six year effort on the part of
many Sig Eps to sever their ties with the national
organization.
For all practical purposes, a viable Sig Ep fraternity has
not existed at Lawrence for at le a s t the D ast vear. Thus, there
have been, in effect, only five fraternities on campus; the Co­
op would not alter the present fraternity system. However, if
the national fraternity is successful in organizing a “ new”
Sig Ep chapter, it will have the effect of altering the Greek
system by adding another to the five that presently exist on
campus.
There are numerous ramifications to the issue. First, does
Lawrence need another fraternity? A total of 120 freshmen
men signed up for Rush in January. The quotas for each
fraternity were established by dividing the number who signed
up for Rush by six. Only the Oelts managed to pledge their
quota of 20. Therefore, there is ample space in the remaining
four fraternities for any freshmen who wish to go Greek. But
even this fact is in part misleading.
The Sig Eps did not participate in Rush. So, a more ac­
curate assessment of the quota would have been arrived at by
divinding the number of those who signed up for Rush by the
five fraternity houses who participated. Even the Delts might
not have reached a quota of 24.
The five fraternities that remain active provide ample
diversification for interested pledges and have more than
enough room to accommodate new members. Clearly, five
fraternities are sufficient for the requirements of this campus.
Broader in scope than a fraternity, a Co-op provides an
opportunity for any student, male or female, to room and
board in a self-defined and self-managing co-operative living
unit. The present Sig Ep house is the only building on campus
where such an experiment might be conducted. It has more
spacious kitchen facilities than the small houses as well as the
necessary dining and living space.
If five fraternities are sufficient to handle the number of
pledges at Lawrence, it’s hard to understand why the Co-op, an
innovative idea for student housing, should be forsaken in
favor of resurrecting the Sig Eps. No only does the Co-op
present an alternative to existing housing options for men, it
offers the currently unavailable opportunity for women to
remain on campus yet escape the dormitories and Downer if
they so desire.
The crux of the issue, however, is that the move to
reestablish the Sig Ep fraternity was generated from without
the Lawrence community by the national organization, with
the co-operation of one individual. On the other hand, the
program to set up a Co-op stemmed from within the com ­
munity through the efforts of former Sig Eps, others living in
the house, and other Lawrentians, particularly women. This
raises the question as to whose interests are at heart in the
effort of the national fraternity; those of the Lawrence com­
munity or those of the national organization?
A new Sig Ep fraternity would be organized with the same
general format as the five other campus organizations. The
Co-op, a result of inner community innitiative, would be an
experiment with a living situation not tried here before. A
decision in favor of the Co-op would not irrevocably ban the Sig
Eps from Lawrence. The fraternity’s charter would still be in
effect for a number of years so, should the Co-op fail, the Sig
Eps could return.
Because there is room in the other fraternity houses for
those who want to go Greek, we would urge Lawrentians to
NOT pledge Sig Ep and, instead, let the Co-op have a chance to
prove itself. In a sense, the Sig Ep fraternity has already had
its chance.
whole. The Greek system itself
may benefit from the success of
the Co-op by being forced to
critically evaluate its goals and
way of life, something long
overdue. My only regret is that I
will not have the opportunity to
be part of this totally new
Lawrence experience
I will close with a plea to those
L aw re ntians who are co n ­
templating joining the Sig Ep
hraternity. You can not separate
the act of pledging from the
murder of the Co-op Please let
the Co-op live.

FILM REVIEW
by Harold Jordan
I wish that I were young a g a in ;
then I could fully appreciate the
movie Sounder. But as an adult
who has seen several films
dealing with blacks and the
“ black situation,” I always find
myself anticipating the worst. I
either expect whitey to come
down hard on someone or the
super-black im a g e to com e
through. I felt tense throughout
the enite movie, expecting the
worst and breathing a sigh of
relief when it didn’t happen.
Down front in the theatre was a
group of elementary age children
who obviously thought the whole
movie was great. They alter­
nated between being touched
deeply by what was going on and
falling into gails of laughter. I
think that the truth and im ­
portance of the movie lie in their
reaction.
This is indeed one of the best
children’s films that I have ever
seen. It combined action with
ad venture plus an e m o tio n a lly

everything that a child could
want. And what is more im ­
portant, it is a black child that the
children envy. What manchild
hasn’t dreamed of rising to a
situation where he has to fill the
shoes of his father at age twelve?
David Lee does this and suc­
ceeds. A child will hopefully
carry this movie in his memory
somewhere next to the Little
Britches series and Rascal.
For all the gold stars that I
have to give to this production, I
hope that a child will not be
confused by some heavy handed
references
to
DeBois
(pronounced Dee-Boys, there are
no woods in it). It was an awk­
ward attempt to get the attention
of the adults who have to find
something relevant to their day
to day lives. It wasn’t necessary.
There was relevance in the rest of
the film in an irreverent sort of
way.
Sounder takes you back to
childhood, and for those of you
who never had one, it gives you
some insight as to what it was
like. The scenes of the Louisians
farm country took me back to my
own childhood in R in g g o ld ,
I^ouisiana where a boy and his
dog were som ething sacred.
Sounder preserves this sanctity
towards these tasks. Membership
will not be restricted to any

The Co-op will rent the house

"Who Am I, Where Am I, What

day w orkshop in aw areness
sponsored
by
the
H um an
Relations Committee which will
be held from Friday, April 20
until Tuesday, April 25.
The workshop is sim ilar to the
Gestalt Week held last year in
which over 400 people took part.
A lthough the fo rm at of the
workshop will be slightly dif­
ferent from Gestalt Week it will
use the same therapists from the
Cowichan Center for Gestalt
Learning in Canada.
The five days have been
scheduled very loosely. From
F rid a y n ight u n til Sunday
morning all three therapists will
work with a single large group of
about 50 people. On Monday and
Tuesday afternoons they will lead
groups working with movement.
The balance of their time bet­
ween F rid a y afternoon and
Tuesday evening has been left
unscheduled, in the hope that
individuals will use the therapists
for their own wants and needs.
For example, at least one group
on either Monday or Tuesday
morning is expected to be a
m assage group. O ther pos-
sibilities are small groups or
individual work with dreams or
fantasy.
The therapists received their
training from Fritz Peris, the
founder of Gestalt therapy. They
come from the Cowichan Center,
which is recognized as one of the
leading psychotherapy institutes.
Peris’ G estalt Therapy V erbatim

In a previously published
L aw re ntian artic le , the new
methods of examining overseas
study proposals were described.
Five proposals were submitted to
Thomas Headrick, vice president
of academic affairs, four for fall
of 1974, one for 1975. The
proposals are a Program in
Topical Biology (Costa Rica);
M u n ich,
G e rm a n y ;
P aris,
France; Madrid, Barcelona, or
Seville, Spain; and A Study in
Cultural Strata in Asia Minor.
The program in Costa Rica is
organized by Allen Young,
Assistant Piofessor of Biology
and Sumner Richman, Professor
of Biology, with Young as in­
structor in Costa Rica in ’74. The
program will emphasize tropical
ecology in the field. They an­
ticipate the program will be
offered every three to four years.
There w ill be three course
credits, two for course work and
one for independent studies.
Costa Rica is a unique place to
study tropical ecology because
most of its terrain is still in the
process of being altered and
there is still time to study
ecological relationships in un­
disturbed as well as vastly
disturbed habitats.
The program itself is a tenweek field course with emphasis
on short-te»*m field problems and
lectures on the theory and
measurement in population and
community biology. Near the end
of the course, each student will be
required to write up one of the
field problem s into a c o m ­
prehensive report; there will also
be a short essay exam.
Young predicts the program
will in no way overlap with the
existing biology offering of the
ACM in Costa Rica, which he
found essentially to be a very lowpowered study of tropical
a g ric u ltu re , w ith very little
experimental orientation in the
field.
Financially, the program will
need only six or seven student to
break even, although 10 to 15 are
desired.
The German Department of­
fering is proposed for a one-term
study in cooperation with the

The Marine Corps Officer Selection Team from Milwaukee will
visit the Lawrence University - Appleton, Wisconsin on April
18th to inform interested students of programs leading to a
commission as a Marine office. The m inim um starting salary
for a Marine officer is $9,000 per year, increasing to $11,000
within 2 years. All training is done in the summer and there are
no on-campus commitments. Those students who apply and are
accepted as undergraduates accrue longevity while in the
program resulting in a freshman, for example, starting at
$10,500 after he graduates and accepts a commission There is
no obligation to complete training or go on active duty. If a
young man accepts a commission following graduation, he must
serve at least 21- years on active duty. Financial assistance of
$100 per school month is available in addition to aviation options
leading to designation as a Marine Pilot or Marine Flight Officer
(vision 20-100 or better).
Captain D. M. BIJCKOVETZ heads the Officer Selection efforts
in Wisconsin and Upper Michigan and will be available in the
Placement Interview Rooms (next to ( olman Hall) to further
explain the Marine Corps commissioning programs and how to
apply.

The Program of Study in Spain
and the Paris Seminar were also
submitted for Fall, 1974. These
programs will remain essentially
the same, with a possible change
of location in Spain (from Madrid
to Barcelona or Seville).
The final proposal is a study of

Fall, 1975. The proposal was

French Play Opens Tonite
French majors at Lawrence
must normally submit a senior
paper
as
a
g ra d u atio n
requirement, but this year senior
Karen Hettinger had a different
idea. This weekend the public
reaps the benefit of her decision
in the opportunity of seeing Jean
Giraudoux’s I/A p o llo n de Kellac,
to be presented tonight and
Saturday night at 7:30 in Cloak
Theatre.
‘‘I perfer working with people
on a creative venture, such as a
play, to writing a paper,” says
Karen, a five-year student who
will graduate next year with
degrees in both French and
Music Education “The first time
I worked in the theatre at
Lawrence was my sophomore
year, and I haven’t been able to
keep out of it since.”
The play Karen has chosen to
direct, I.'Apollon de Bellac, is a
comedy about a girl who looks for
a job in a m an ’s world. She can
neither type nor take shorthand,
and, to make matters worse, men
terrify her; but with the help of
the gentleman from Bellac, she
learns that the secret of success
with men is to tell them they are
handsome. After a few half­
hearted attempts, she finally
learns lo use this secret so well
that M de Bellac asks himself if
perhaps he has unleased the
devil.
Serving as assistant to the
director and stage manger for
L ’Apollon de Bellac is Barbar
Mehring. Others in charge of
technical
aspects
of
the
production are David Haugland,
set and lighting design; Marily

An Interview with Thomas Headrick
Lawrence: Educating the Problem-Solver
E ditor's Note: The natu re of a
liberal education is the first in­
stallm en t in a 3-part interview
with Thom as Headrick, ViceP resid ent of Academic Affairs,
conducted by Jon !Y1ook.
LAWRENTIAN: How would you
chara cterize the goals and ob­
jectives of Lawrence?
HEADRICK: I doubt if one can
write any reasonably short piece
of prose that really ca p tu res what
L awrence is about for the various
people that m ak e L aw rence what
it is. I ’ve seen several a ttem p ts in
recent y e a r s —by the Povolny
C o m m i t t e e , by th e Ad Hoc
Comm ittee on Mission and Ob­
jectives, and in the early pages of
A bout
Law rence.
All
th e
s t a t e m e n t s h a v e s o m e noble
rhetoric, but none say in a
s p e c i f ic p r o g r a m m a t i c w a y :
“ This is w here L aw rence is
headed over the next ten y e a r s .”
Maybe that is good. A college has
a life of its own. It can grow and
learn and im prove constantly.
S et o b j e c t i v e s c a n o fte n be
confining.
T h e r e is, m o r e o v e r , w ide
ag re e m e n t within the comm unity
that we rem ain a sm all u n ­
d e rg ra d u a te college, providing a
liberal a r t s education, that we
strive to get better and to
enhance our reputation among
the few top sm all schools in the
nation, and that we m aintain a
fine C o n s e r v a t o r y of M usic.
of specialization by students and
fa c u l ty a t th e e x p e n s e of
developing the attitudes, skills,
and curiosity of highly competent
generalists. In recent y ears the
g r a d u a t e s ch o o ls h a v e b e e n
becom ing m ore and m o re
specialized. People coming out of
g ra d u a te school in m an y fields,
although not all, come out m uch
n arrow er now than they did
before. If we then place students
“ The nation has enough institutions of higher education th at
a re devoted to train in g sp ecialists. L aw rence has an op­
portunity to conceive of its ed ucational role in a quite different
w ay .”
There doesn’t seem to be any
desire on anybody’s part to
d e v e lo p p u r e l y p r o f e s s i o n a l
training p ro g ra m s or to ad d new
schools.
LAWRENTIAN: Do you think
that Lawrence is faced with any
one m a jo r problem?
HEADRICK: A m a jo r question,
as I see it, is the extent to which
we en courage a fairly high level
in an educational s tru ctu re which
emphasizes the im portance of a
m ajo r and puts that a s the prim e
expectation for graduation, the
extent of specialization becomes
a criterion for a good education.
The nation has enough in­
stitutions of higher education that
are
d e v o te d
to
training
specialists. L aw rence has an
opportunity to conceive of its
educational role in a quite dif­
ferent way. In the y e a rs ahead,
our society will have a crying
need for intelligent, sensitive
generalists — people who can
w r it e , s p e a k , a n d o t h e r w i s e
co m m un icate clearly, who can
think cogently and creatively,
who can learn essentials rapidly,
who m a rsh a l information and
expertise for a g rea t variety of
problems that m a y com e their
way, and who can do all those
things with a sense of hum anity
and of history. They m a y s ta rt
out with som e special skills and
knowledge, but in the long run it is
these m ore general abilities that
will count for them and, I think,
our society. Certainly it is in p a rt
because of my training and
background that I tend to see
n e e d s for g e n e r a l i s t s a n d
problem-solvers: people who a re
o r i e n t e d to f a c i n g c o m p l e x
issues, sorting them out, and
bringing together resources to
have som e constructive im pact.
L a w r e n c e , I b e li e v e , h a s a
contribution to m a k e in this
re gard.
T here has been much talk
a b o u t li b e r a l a n d g e n e r a l
e d u c a t io n . In th e p a s t we
program m ed
for
general
e d u c a t i o n w ith d i s t r i b u t i o n
requirem ents. They did not work
well, and up to now we have yet to
c o m e up w ith a c o n c r e t e
p ro g r a m m a tic form for a liberal
education responsive to societal
needs that m ak es sense as an
alternativ e to the em p ha sis on
the m a jo r and on specialization.
If we took the education of
generalists a s the cen tra l core of
our purpose as an educational
institution,
th e
cu rricu lar
s tru ctu re would change some, not
completely, but some.
L A W R E N T IA N :
Have
you
discussed this th em e ot educating
the problem-solver with any of
the faculty?
HEADRICK: The idea d o esn’t
strike m a n y responsive chords
am ong the faculty. One of the
reasons is that the faculty do n’t
see th em selves a s gen eralists or
problem-solvers and, therefore,
they d on ’t easily see how what
they do with and for students
s e e t h e i r ro l e s a s g u id i n g
s t u d e n t s to th e s u c c e s s f u l
completion of their course or
courses, but they do not really
focus on what happens to an
individual student a s he goes
through the whole process. They
don’t see their p art as adding on
to ano ther p a rt which adds on to
other p a rts that in the a g g reg ate
m a kes som e difference to the
student.
I
really would love to get a
group of g ra d u a te s together and
have them try to describe what
happened to them at L aw rence in
detail. I suspect the descriptions
would not m i rro r the course
descriptions of their 36 courses.
They would talk about what
h a p p e n e d to t h e m — th e
d e v e l o p m e n t of c o n tr o l o v e r
language, the accum ulation of
understanding an d knowledge in
specific a re a s , the opening up of
new interests, the rise and fall of
enthusiasm for a c ad em ic work,
the p articu lar im pac t of in­
dividual faculty m e m b e rs, and so
on.
“ Individual te a c h e rs see th e ir roles as guiding stu d en ts to the
successful com pletion of th eir course or courses, but they do
not really focus on w hat happens to an individual student as he
goes through the whole p ro c ess.”
would result in the students
becoming m o re adept in general
problem-solving roles. They see
them selves as opening up levels
of u n d e r s t a n d i n g a b o u t th e
present world and its p ast to
students who h a v e n ’t had that
opened up to them before. Or they
see th em selves confronting the
really insoluble a sp ects of hum an
existence — love, death.
Some of this m a y be because
we hav e not traditionally viewed
the educational process as te n ­
ding tow ard — in sy stem s jargon
— an output. Individual teach ers
If we tried to respond to those
descriptions, we m ight want to
organize the ac a d e m ic program
som ew hat differently. Or m ay be
we would leave it the s am e. But if
we did leave it alone, at least we
would have confidence th at it w as

courses. I ’m ce rtain it is doing

Southern Swing
Good Experience
“ We’re not a long ball hitting

M u e lle r a s he a s s e s s e d th e
potential of this y e a r ’s edition of
the L aw rence Viking baseball
team .
“ But we do have a lot of people
who can hit, and if w e ’re going to
go a n y w h e r e in th is y e a r ’s
conference race, th e y ’ll all have
to come through pretty con­
sistently.”
Mueller retu rned with the Vike

cancellation of nine scheduled

heading south in the first place.
The leading hitter for the Vikes
on the tour was freshm an Blane
Lewis, of Beloit, Wis., who was
seven for 19 for a 368 average.
All-conference shortstop Dave
Rothschild was second leading
hitter with six hits in 18 trips for a

pitcher Dan Toycen had three
