The ILLINOIS WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY Vol. 71 Bloomington, Illinois, Friday, February 12, 1965 Faculty Views Move Against Possible Discrimination The recommendation proposed by the Human Relations Committee in regard to the scheduling of base-games with southern teams which do not accept integrated play, was discussed in the faculty meeting last Monday. Athletic Director Jack Horen-berger announced that he would "accept the recommendation of the report submitted by the Human Relations Committee." Horenberger stated that he agreed "in principle to the recommendation," however he was "not sure that the method of the new principle was the best." "Utter Harmony" Dr. John A. Vander Waal, secre-tary of the faculty, stated that in This opinion, "there was utter har-mony among all members of the faculty concerning the issue." Van-tder Waal announced that "final disposition" concerning the recom-mendation "will occur at the next faculty meeting." He noted that "genuine progress is being made toward a solution." Horenberger pointed out that the present policy has never been fully invoked due to the fact that "he has never had a Negro come out for baseball." Due to this fact no 'alleged discrimination has ever ac-tually taken place. The proposed policy recommend-ed that "we schedule only those schools willing to accept integrated play, beginning with the 1965-1966 Registrar Pleased With 2nd Semester Registration 'Last week a total of 1,268 stu-dents, part time, full time and grads, registered here at Wesleyan. Wesleyan also welcomed twenty-one new students. When asked a'bout the new regis-tration procedure, Mrs. D o n a 1 d Reid, acting business manager, was quite enthusiastic. Besides lessen-ing the work of the office and the professors, it also aided in keeping social science and humanities sec-tions balanced. 'Mrs. Reid said t'hat having the students sign on sheets for their classes was an experimental pro-cedure preparatory for next year and the tri-semester. Students polled about the effec-tiveness of the new procedure were in general non-commiittal. The only complaint was directed toward the line in physical education. Several students liked the idea of keeping the faculty advisors away from the area where actual registration was going on. These students felt that the confusion was kept to a mini- 'mum. Members of the faculty were glad to have a list of students at-tending their courses. school year. We recommend that the present policy be revoked and that this revised policy be adopted at the next faculty meeting." The preceding statem ent was taken from the actual committee report. Involves Southern Trip The present athletic policy in-volves the scheduling of baseball games at the schools which would not play us if we had a Negro player on the team. Should a Negro student make the team prior to t'he southern trip, he would be asked to remain at home for that particular trip, with the under-standing that the school would schedule no more such games while that Negro player remained in school. This statement was also taken from the committee report. The Human Relations Commit-tee headed by Dr. William White, rich, Dean Donald Ruthenberg, John Weistart, and Ginger Bas-kett; submitted four reasons for the recommendations: 1. The present policy was in-compatible with standards of Ath-letic policy of College Conference of Illinois. 2. It is inconsistent with the standards of this University. 3. It is incompatible with our 'school's assured compliance with the 1964 Civil Rights Act. 4. It is incompatible with moral and ethical standards assumed by Wesleyan as a church-related insti-tution. By CAROL MITES "Keep the link between vital knowledge and piety; by virtue of your piety your knowledge may re-main responsible." This was the charge given by Dr. Carl Michal-son in his address, "Modern Man and Collegiate Piety," at the an-nual Founders' Day Convocation, Wednesday. In introducing Dr. Michalson, Dr. Lloyd Bertholf, president of Illi-nois Wesleyan, stated that in hon-oring our founders it is fitting to look back, but we must also find a point of reference from which to look forward. He continued by say-ing that Dr. Michalsohi is very cap-able for such a task. Piety-Knowledge Divided Dr. Michalson, professor of sys-tematic theology at Drew Univer-sity, began his search for this point of reference by saluting the piety of Wesleyan's founding fa-thers. He stated that it was one of John Wesley's goals to "unite knowledge and vital piety." How-ever, he said that this question should be reopened. "Can we any longer identify with the principles of our founding fa-thers?" Dr. Michalson asked. "Should these two things so long united, not now be divided?" He continued by presenting the Kerner Notes College Expansion By CINDY FAIRBURN "I wish more notice would be given to the accomplishment of our young people," Governor Otto Ker-ner said in his address at the 1965 Central Ilinois Scholarship Ban-quet Thursday, February 4, in the Memorial Center Ballroom. He spoke to an assembly of 565 Illinois State Scholarship semi-finalists and their county superin-tendents of schools. They represent-ed 13 Central Illinois counties. Illi-nois Wesleyan University and the Daily Pantagraph sponsored the banquet, which was called 'the first of its kind in Illinois." Governor Kerner discussed the CIRSS Places Reapportionment Proposal Before Student Senate The Committee to Investigate Representation in the Student Sen-ate made its formal report to the Senate Sunday night, February 7. Its proposals follow: A) that Article II Section B of the Student Senate Constitution be changed to read: Section B. The following shall be the officially elected voting representatives of the Student Body: 1. A President, Vice President, and Secretary. 2. Three members from each of the four classes of the Uni-versity, including the class president. 3. The Commission Chairmen, petitioning from the Student Body and elected by the Stu-dent Senate. 4. One representative per each housing unit having a capaci-ty of between 11 and 112 stu-dents; two representatives from each unit having a ca-pacity of between 112 and 187, three representatives from each unit having a ca-pacity of between 188 and 262; and four representatives from each unit having a ca-pacity of between 263 and 337. B) that Article I Section C be deleted in its entirety. C) that Article V Section A be changed to read: Section A. The President, Vice President, and Secretary shall be elected during the month of March and shall take office no 1Eater than the seventih day of May. Representatives of the sophomore, junior, and senior classes shall also be elected at this time. Other representa-tives, as outlined in Article III, Section B, shall also be chosen at this time. Representatives of ,the freshman class and class ,presidents shall be elected in the fall during class officer elections. Representatives of thousing units shall be elected in April. D) that Article VI Section A be changed to read: Section A. Each member of the Student Senate shall have one vote with the exception of the (Continued on page 4) several types of institutions the scholars might enter. "We are for-tunate that we have a wide range of institutions both public and pri-vate." The governor, who received his higher education at private in-stitutions, stated, "We must main-tain and retain our private institu-tions." He noted that "at one time, 60 per cent of college people in the state attended private institutions; today that ratio is reversed." Explains Master Plan "If I had my choice of buildings or people, I would much rather have people," he said in reference to the state's policy in educational expansion. He mentioned that five thousand students had been turned away from the University of Ili-nois this year. "The Illinois Board has drawn up a master plan," Governor Kerner stated, which will mean much to the future of our state. This plan is designed to meet the problem of increased enrollment." According to him, the plan calls for expansion of the present junior college program. "It costs so much less for the state to provide the first two years of higher education at a two year institution." He pointed out the importance of this fact for a "great many talented (Continued on page 4) Leaders Wanted Petitions for Commission Chair-men, Judiciary Committee, and Special Events Chairmen for Moth-er's Day, Dad's Day, and Home-coming are available at the Center desk. These petitions will be due at 4 p.m. on February 14. Elections will be held at the February 21 Senate meeting which will begin at 8:30 p.m. Petitions for Senate Executive officers and class representatives will be available at the Center desk at 8 a.m. February 26. These peti-tions will be due March 5 at 4 p.m. Primary elections will be held March 15 and final elections will be March 22. question of whether modern man can any longer engage in acts of faith and mean it. He elaborated on this by distinguishing between the modernity of modern man and modernism. Piety Modernizes Man "Modernism," Dr. Michalson said, "is attacking piety with ev-ery available technique of the nat-ural scientists." But he added that modern man is more than modern-ism. The real problem of piety in the presence of modernity, he said, is what it means to be a modern man. The answer to this problem, he stated, is "to know that man alone is responsible for the world." Dr. Michalson emphasized that many people have stressed the ability of modern man to get along without God in every phase of life. To counteract this belief, he said, "acts of piety are precisely the acts by which man becomes mod-ern in the first place and are guarantees that man will remain modern." Men Heirs of God Dr. Michalson stated that Jesus Christ, as the son of God, was the heir of God and responsible for God's world. However, he said that Jesus, who called God "our Fath-er," made all men the sons of God and consequently mature, adult, and responsible for the world. He further stated that the world over which we have been given re-sponsibility may gain responsibil-ity over us through technological advances. "Only in acts of piety," he said, "do we receive responsi-bility for the world." Degrees Conferred Dr. Michalson concluded by say-ing that in spite of the popular belief that "you can't be a modern man and get God in," this is not necessarily the case. "Acts of piety," he said, "are the very acts through which you can remain modern." Following Dr. Michalson's ad-dress, Dr. Bertholf conferred two honorary degrees. George Robert Means, general secretary of Rotary International, was awarded the honorary Doctor of Humanities de-gree. The honorary degree of Doc-tor of Divinity was conferred on Rev. Robert Watts Thornberg, pas-tor of the First Methodist Church of Peoria. Carnival Jobs Available Sign-up sheets for the campus carnival committee will be circu-lated Monday, Feb. 15.
