Root Of All Evil Puzzles Board

By JOYCE COPELAND
To raise fees or not to raise
fees that was not the question. To
raise fees was the answer. Where
to allocate the fees, that was the
question, or was it the answer.
This matter of business was just
as confusing as it may sound.
The executive board acting as a
committee as a whole decided
there was a need for an increase
in student fees. This decision
came after an announcement
that an open hearing was to be
held concerning proposed in
creases. The board was informed
by Dr. Arthur D. Wenger that
they would be allowed to make
their requests to the Ad
ministrative Council at the
meeting.
The board or rather the
committee could not agree as to
where the money would be
allocated. Several proposals
were cited. Larry D. Whitlock,
faculty advisor, proposed that the
students might be allowed to
designate where a percentage of
their money would go. The
remaining percentage would go
to previously specified uses, the
chief of these being athletics and
entertainment.
Information
The board decided that the
student body should have a say as
to where the money would go.
Several methods were made such
as questionnaire at convocation
and a questionnaire in the
Collegiate. The results of these
plans is known by all since
everyone went to convocation
and there was no ballot and the,
Collegiate is not guilty as yet. The
matter was closed with nothing
really decided except more
money in 1970.

Byron Wyndham, asked his
board members to boycott one of

Friday nights at 8:15 p.m. in
Howard Chapel.
The three plays include Tad
jVIosel’s “Impromptu,” a play
about a play; Susan Glapell’s
"Trifles,” a murder mystery;
and Edward Albee’s “The
American Dream,” a risque
satire on American life.

to create interest in Stage and

talents. Student directors are
displaying their talents through
the directing of “Impromptu”
and “Trifles.” The directors are
Jackie Keen and Judi Peterson,
respectively; while the third
play, “The American Dream,” is
being directed by Paul Crouch.
The actors and technical crew
were partially recruited from the
Play Production Class, a class to
instruct students in the
presentation and back-stage
activities of the production of
plays.
It is hopeful that Stage and
Scrip will have the full support of
the student body and the public
during the productions for an
enjoyable treat is in store for
them. There will be no charge for
admission and the public is
cordially invited.

This firm had a policy of bill and
pay later. . .much later. It was
noted that this practice played
havoc with the financial records.

Government Association was
brought to attention of the board.
This organization is in the
planning stages and is to include

group. NCSGA plans workshops
for its members and their various
committees. Tentative mem
bership was approved.

easily because the request was

At Convocation
Three Civilizations
Discussed By Smith
By Lynn Johnson
Each of the three great
civilizations of the world has been
mainly concerned with one of
man’s basic problems. The
civilization in the West has been
concerned mainly with the
problem of nature, China with the
social problem, and India with
the psychological problems of
roan, according to Dr. Huston
Smith, professor of philosophy at
M-I.T. Speaking at the regular
convocation period in Wilson
Gym Tuesday, Dr. Smith
elaborated on the contributions of
these three groups.
Nature is composed of matter,
space, and time. As we read
Backward through history we
™ three momentous ideas in
eWesi, each of which relates to
wr definition of nature. One is
^concept of modern science, or
mterest in matter. Another is
? of progress, which
a es to time. The third is the
ncept of the individual, which
wrrelated to space.
Western man’s interest in the
erial may have originated
ciS'^'r the only
nation to have a favorable
climate. This gave Western man
an affirmative concept toward
nature. Of the three, only the
Western civilization seized the
natural world as the deliberate
creation of a perfect being.
The civilization that grew up in
China was different from all the
others. Nature did not invite
them because it was so un
manageable, so they turned
toward the social problems.
Their central approach was to
identify social virtues which
would benefit society. They then
turned all of their resources of
education toward the goal of
getting these internalized as
ideal.
In India, also, nature was
uninviting. They were early
presented with the problem of
racial discrimination. Caste was
created to deal with this problem,
but it created problems of its
own. For this reason the Indians
became introspective. They early
discovered that not all mental life
is on the conscious level.
Each civilization has achieved
in one of the areas of human
concern.
