Class warfare
Spirit brings restraints
The display of spirit
during last week’s Corn-
huskin’ will be remembered
as well as the event itself.
Traditional cheering during
supper was augmented by
freshmen and sophomore
parodies of discovered themes
of rival classes.

But when the traditional
waterfights expanded into
large scale rowdiness. Student
Life Committee stepped in
with a reprimand which was
read at Cornhuskin’ practice
Tuesday night.
The statement reads,
“Let it be known that after
this announcement no more
bodily harm, psychological
damage, or excessive waste
will be tolerated.”
The statement also
stipulated that “each class is
responsible for cleaning its
respective territories,
courtyard side and halls.”
This is an attempt to remove
such burden from the service
personnel.
Specific activities were
prohibited. These include:
kidnaping, damage or abuse
to school property; putting
vaseline, shaving cream, and
other slippery substances on
places where hazardous
conditions will result; ex
cessive use of toilet paper;
locking girls in rooms; and
throwing food or other
dangerous substances.

mittee has also requested that

NASHVILLE - Meredith
College is among 50 of the 53
Southern Baptist-related
senior and junior colleges
which have signed up for a
major national study of
Southern Baptist colleges
made possible by a recent
$100,000 grant.
The study will be con
ducted by the Program of
Liberal (Arts) Studies,
currently based at the
University of Arizona, Tuc
son, and funded by the Lilly
Endowment of Indianapolis.
Earl J. McGrath,
executive director for the
Program of Liberal Studies,
will administer the grant, and
the office of the Education
Commission of the Southern
Baptist Convention (SBC) in
Nashville will coordinate the
study.
McGrath, senior advisor
for education for the Lilly
Endowment and former
secretary of the U.S.
Department' of Health,
Education and Welfare, will
make a team of nationally
recognized educational
consultants available to assist
wito the study, which will
focus on a number of areas of
institutional life.
Each Baptist college,
which will contribute up to
$1,(KX) to help with the study,
will be led in a self-analysis of
institutional goals, leadership
and management, financial
health, curriculum, campus
environment, admissions and
recruiting, and the per
ceptions of the laity about the
Southern Baptist higher
education.
Ben C. Fisher, executive
director-treasurer of the SBC
Education Commission, said
it would cost the Baptist
colleges an estimated $25,(X)0
to $30,000 each to do such a
study on their own without the
benefit to the $100,000 grant.
Fisher said McGrath
reported that he recom
mended the study to the Lilly
Endowment because Southern
Baptist colleges are finan
cially sound, concerned about
the transmission of values and
willing to wear their church-
related label proudly, and are
increasing in enrollments
when many other private
institutions show declines.
“The study itself, which
grew out of the exposure our
Baptist colleges received at
our National Colloquium on
Southern Baptist Colleges and
Schools last June in
Williamsburg, Virginia, in
volves a recognition of
Baptist schools as a national
asset,” said George E. Capps
of the Education Commission.
“For the first time,” said
Capps, the Commission’s
associate executive director,
“some of our colleges will be
able to afford a self-study of
this type.”
“I view the study as a
strong vote' ofTeo'nfidende- in
Southern Baptist higher
education and believe it can
be of inestimable value in the
three-year follow-up to the
National Colloquium,” Fisher
added. The Colloquium and its
follow-up are designed to be
an intensive study of priorities
and purposes of Baptist
schools.
The McGrath study is
expected to be completed by
December and to be evaluated
and released by June of 1977.
