King Memorial Fund Encourages
Racial And Economic Diversity
Among Mary Washington Students

By CANDY BUTLER

As a result of concentrated ef-
fort, the Memorial Scholarship
Fund now boasts a balance of ap-
proximately 1,500 dollars in
money and pledges. Alpha Phi
Sigma, which awards a one hun-
dred dollar scholarship to a de-
serving person each year, voted
to donate this year's award to the
Memorial Fund.

The Committee for the Dr.
King Memorial Fund has made
this statement to clarify its pur-
pose:

"Because of apparent misun-
derstandings, the Committee for
the Dr. King Memorial Scholar-
ship Fund feels it wise to restate
the intended aim of the scholar-
ship. As originally expressed, the
scholarship was created to en-
courage a representative distri-
bution of all races and economic
groups in the student body of

Mary Washington College, and
this remains the objective of the
fund. Consistent with the spirit
of Dr. King's life, we have no
interest in establishing this
scholarship on a discriminatory
basis: to stipulate that the recipi-
ent be a member of any given
race would violate the intention
of this scholarship. The aim of
this scholarship is to enrich the
life of a girl who otherwise would
not have the opportunity to attend
this college and, at the same time,
to enrich student life at Mary
Washington College by encour-
aging racial and economic di-
versity within it.

"We also wish to express our
gratitude to all those who have so
generously contributed to the fund
and our hope that if you have not
already made a donation that
you will be able to in the coming
weeks

Student Body

Will Vote On
Constitution

By PAM TOMPKINS
SENIOR CLASS PRESIDENT

In conjunction with the re-or-
ganization of the Student Govern-
ment Association under the new
constitutuon, the classes will op-
erate as separate organizations
co-ordinated by the newly formed
Class Council. The classes will
be represented on this council
by their respective Presidents
and Vice- Presidents. The
purpose of the Council will be
to co-ordinate the activities of
the four classes enabling them to
work together in areas of mu-
tual concern and providing a
means for cooperative support
in individual projects.

The first duty of the Class
Council is to extablish a con-
stitution for a basis of opera-
tion for the classes. The stu-
dent body will have the oppor-
tunity to vote on the proposed
constitution at Hall meetings this
week. Each Hall President has
a copy of the constitution and,
if possible, students are request-
ed to be familiar with it before
the meeting. In effect, the con-
stitution merely verbalizes and
puts on paper those practices
which have already been in ef-
fect in past years. Any ques-
tions may be directed to Pam
Tompkins, ext. 502 or any of
the other Class Presidents.

Education - - Rah!

The recent column in the Fredericksburg Free
Lance Star (which is reprinted in this issue) has
been the cause of much concern to us. It stimulated
a re-evaluation of our own journalistic abilities,
but more important, it forced an examination of
the purpose of an education and the role of educat-
educated women in the world against ever-present
walls of closed- mindedness and misunderstanding.

We submit that Mr. Goolrick's criticisms of
our article on the "submissive" Negroes of Fred-
ericksburg were valid. The article represented
the analysis and opinion of one reporter, and it
was an oversight that the story was not labelled
as such.

Yet the more disturbing views set forth by Mr.
Goolrick were his criticisms of our entire college
experience. His objections to a speaker on LSD,
a death-of-God theologian, and a harmless NSA
referendum seem so contrary to the progress for
which we have been striving, that it is difficult to
put forth a rational argument. Have we, perhaps,
been heading in the wrong direction? Mr. Goolrick
seems to feel that we should revert back to the
days of the state Normal School, or should close
our gates to the outside and let the world solve
its own problems while we sit on the hill conjugat-
ing Latin verbs and learning how to cook.

That would certainly be a much easier form of
education than the type we are struggling through
now. Visiting lecturers would have to be screened
by the administration to make sure they repre-
sented the "right and true" opinions, and the hard-
est decision a student would ever have to make
would be whether to join the Methodist Church or
the Presbyterian Church. This type of education
would be beneficial because all graduates of the
college could become stable homemakers and raise
their chldren in the "good old American tradition."

For some reason, however, this is not the type
of training desired by most college women. Per-
haps girls are smarter these days, or perhaps the
dirty outside world has somehow seeped in through
the serpentine walls. Girls want to know about the
war, urban problems, politics, drugs, and differ-
ing attitudes towards religion. And more than just
learning, they want participation. Knowledge with-
out action is meaningless.

This is the premise upon which modern higher
education is built. It is so commonly accepted and
understood by students that an attack upon it
seems almost irrational. If Mr. Goolrick's com-
ments are representative of his generation, then
we will have many surprises and frustrations await-
ing us after graduation. How are we to "promote
the imperative change," as Jane Bradley has
urged, and put into practice what we have learned
in college, with obstacles of status-quoism before
us?

At a recent City Council meeting, after some
discussion of the "submissive Negro" article
and John Goolrick's column, one Councilman stated
that he had read neither article but further added
that "I am disturbed about what some of our col-
leges are doing. I always thought students went to
college to learn and not to teach the professors
and I think it's a sad commentary on our sick
society." Perhaps we are living in a sick society,
but it seems likely that the sickness lies on the
other side of the college walls.

Students do not come to college to teach any-
body. They come to be exposed to as many different
aspects of the world as possible so that they might
make intelligent decisions about them. We have
recently be exposed to Mr. Goolrick's views, and
it has been a learning experience for us, though
after careful consideration, we feel we must reject
these views. They are stifling to us, and not con-
ducive to the healthy atmosphere to which we have
been accustomed. We are growing, living, breath-
ing freely, and it would take more than one John
Goolrick to knock the wind out of us.

Letters To The Editor

(EDITOR'S NOTE: The name
of the author of the following
letter has been withheld upon
her request, because of the na-
ture of the letter.)

Dear Editor:

In support of your editorial on
April 15, 1968 in the BULLET, I
would like to say that there are
flaws in the present Honor Sys-
tem and there is definitely a need
for a total re-examination of it.

I am a "victim" of mis Honor
System. I was dismissed from
Mary Washington for a violation of
that code. I do not hold a grudge
against Mary Washington, the
Honor Council or the Honor Code
which convicted me. There was
no other alternative as the code
is written now. However, IF in-
tent had been judged in my case,
perhaps I would still be a stu-
dent at MWC, but I am not writ-
ing to argue my case, which is
now permanently closed. Any re-
vision of the Honor Code will not
help me, but it could help you.

I can only hope that by sharing
my experience with you, that you
will realize the immediate need
for a revision of the Honor Code.

Until I was accused, I hadn't
read the Honor Code since I was
a freshman. I had told all my
friends how great it was to live
under a system where you could
leave your belongings in the open
and no one took them and pro-
fessors did not babysit while you
took exams. I suggest you read
the Honor Code IF you haven't
read it since you were a fresh-
man. I had no idea that the Honor
Council did not judge intent OR
character. I thought it was just
like a regular trial in a court of
law . . . IT ISN'T. As it stands
now, the Honor Code does not al-
low for human error. You can not
unwittingly or unintentionally
make a mistake or you will be
thrown out of school in 24 hours
with the stigma of the label
"discharged by the Honor Coun-
cil."

The arbitrary definition of a
breach of one's word of honor is
all inclusive and fits an academ-
ic community. This definition
should not be altered.

However, this system is too
cut and dried. There are count-
less circumstances that could
lead to a violation of the Honor
Code as it is now defined, yet
the student could still be honor-
able.

There are many problems in
trying to prove intent, as Liz
Vantrease pointed out in her
editorial. But wouldn't it be bet-
ter to try and iron out these prob-
lems than to dismiss a girl who
has not acted dishonorably and
have her labeled for life an honor
offender?

After my dismissal from Mary
Washington, I was faced with the
problem of re-applying to col-
leges. Since an honor offender
cannot just fill out an application
for admission and send it in and
expect to be admitted, it was
necessary that I apply in person
even before I filled out an appli-
cation for admission. This in-
volved speaking to Directors of
Admission, Directors of Student
Conduct and even the Presidents
of Colleges. During these inter-
views I told the story surrounding
my dismissal and showed a copy
of the student handbook contain-
ing the Honor Code.

One Director of Admissions at
a small Eastern college listened
to my story intently and then read
the code. He then stated that he
was completely in favor of Honor
systems IF THEY WORK, and as

soon as they don't, they are by
far more harm than good. He
hadn't ever seen an Honor sys-
tem comparable to MWC's and
could see how a student could be
"had" under the present sys-
tem. A Director of Student Con-
duct found it hard to believe that
a system could be so arbitrary
and not take into account the stu-
dent's intent to commit the viola-
tion. Finally, the President of an
Eastern college said after study-
ing the handbook for awhile, that
the system was completely an-
tiquated and that he'd never seen
a code like it.

All of the schools mentioned
above operate with an honor code
governing their student's be-
havior. They were all willing to
admit me providing I met their
academic standards. I am now en-
rolled as a student in a large Mid-
Western University which ranks
tenth in the country in my major
field. I was lucky - 1 didn't lose
any credit, and by going to a
five week summer session I'll
be caught up with my class.

Some other girls may not be
so lucky . . . they shouldn't have
to rely on luck, because they
shouldn't be dismissed by such
an arbitrary system as MWC's
which doesn't take into account
intent . . . something that must
be considered in every court of
law in our land.

Indeed, your system is an-
tiquated. Perhaps it was suf-
ficient in the days of Thomas
Jefferson, but this is now 1968
and since it is ineffectual in
judging true honor, it ought to be
revised immediately before
another girl falls victim to the
system.

Dear Editor:

Although the Negroes of Fred-
ericksburg may not consider
themselves to be, in Lois Jasu-
ta's words, "unbearably de-
prived," this does not necess-
arily mean that unbearable con-
ditions do not exist.

At this time, I would like to
bring to your attention the sit-
uation which I, personally, ;ind
to be the most intolerable. I am
referring to the treatment of the
mentally retarded teenagers at
Walker Grant High School. In
this particular class, in which
over two thirds of the students are
Negro, shaming appears to be the
major item stressed by the-
teachers. Consider these few ex-
amples:

1. When some of the Negro
children, struggling alone
through arithmetic books which
were obviously too abstract for
them to understand, pushed the
books aside, one of the teachers
(a white woman, as are all of
the other teachers in the special
education department) sharply
informed them that "they were
not to damage the books which
she had paid good tax money
for." As this teacher herself
informed me later, she was tell-
ing these children that she re-
sented the fact that the town,
rather than their parents, had
purchased the books.

2. When one of the Negro
children pronounced the word

"child as "chile, " he was ri-
diculed and laughed at by the
teacher in front of all of the
other members of the class.

3. On the blackboard one day
appeared the words, "Dese is
my hands and dese is my feet,
and dis ist what I lerntin skool."
This sentence, written with large,
neat print, could hardly have been
ignored by the children in the
class.

4. When word games are played
in the class, the teacher in charge
very rarely praises or rewards
the children in any way for cor-
rect word usage. On the other
hand, children using the wrong
words are required to either
stand up or to write their names
on the board in order that their
failures may be emphasized.

These are only a few examples
of what apears to be an overall
disgraceful program. Surely, the
children should not be forced to
accept it. Certainly, they should
not be deprived of pride in them
selves and freedom to explore the
world without being punished for
every unknowing error that they
make. There is not doubt in my
mind but that these children could
learn more, and learn it more
happily, under more rewarding
circumstances. They need better
schooling than they are getting,
and it is certainly a long overdue
right of theirs to get it.

Sincerely,
SUSAN SANDERS

Dear Editor:

A broad background of general
griping lies behind this letter,
but I was finally prompted to
action by the proverbial ' 'straw."
How is it that DuPont glistens
with a perpetual sheen of wax
and polish, all to be trod upon
by dirty shoes day after day,
yet ACL pool and locker room
are consistently covered with a
fine layer of dirt and grime?
Aesthetically - as well as health-
wise - the condition is not very
appealing to bare bodies. After
sliding through the dirt, it is
true, we are allowed to rinse
ourselves in the pool. Is that the
reason the chlorine is always
so blinding?

The pool is not the only area
so unjustly neglected though -
all of Monroe gym is in as bad
or worse conditions. Sure, the
new gym will be better taken
care of - but why have the pres-
ent facilities (as the cobwebs
will attest to) been so long ne-
glected?

Sincerely,
Chris Lunt

Dear Editor:

Hothouse or igloo?

It is rather ironic that re-
serve books may be used in
another part of the library
only when the reserve room is
too cold for a student.

Are not excessive heat and
stuffiness just as unconducive
to studying as cold conditions?

Sincerely yours,
Helaine Patterson

Response
To Fund
Is Good

from Page 1
Although there are many prob-
lems to be worked out, the ex-
cellent student response, accord-
ing to Miss Finnegan, has helped
a great deal. It is hoped that the
fund will gradually become a con-
tinuing scholarship. The students
have canvassed the dorms for
money and pledges, while both the
students and interested faculty
have been sitting at the table in
the foyer of ACL to collect any
donations.

Those on the faculty whose in-
terest centers on the admissions
aspect of this idea, together with
Miss Clark, are working with
the administration and the ad-
missions office in order to find
ways to increase the already
growing effort on the part of the
administration to search for eli-
gible students in predominantly
Negro high schools. A sincere
effort to start a summer tutoring
program on campus is in the
works. This would be a coopera-
tive project between the faculty
and the students to help high
school students become more
aware of the existence of higher
education, its demand, and its
rewards. Once this program gets
off the drawing board it will,
hopefully, become a full time
program.

(NOTE: The following article is

By JOHN GOOLRICK

"While resentment and often
open arrogrance characterize
many Northern ghetto Negroes,
the colored of Fredericksburg
seem timid and subservient . . .
the Negro here seems to patient-
ly accept his socially imposed
position of inferiority."

This incredibly all knowing
statement was written by a stu-
dent at Mary Washington College
and is part of a so-called "news
story" In the latest issue of the
college newspaper, THE
BULLET.

College newspapers, at least
the ones I've seen, aren't no-
torious for good journalism, but
in all candor I must say from
reading issues of the MWC paper
of late that it is probably the
worst example of the species
I've seen.

If most of the students who
write - and I use the word ad-
visedly - for it have had any
classes in the art of journalism
or even faculty tutoring the pro-
duct doesn't show it.

Normally, I make some feeble
attempts at humor in this space
with only a passing reference
now and then to the halls of ivy.
But, old-fashioned as it may
sound, reading the BULLET here
of late has given me a certain
nauseous feeling in the pit of
my stomach.

I can't help but think if things

are that bad at what most people
have always considered a pretty
rational women's institution, then
they must be infinitely worse at
many other colleges and univer-
sities across our land which
have never been particularly not-
ed for their rationality.

I am not saying that students
at a liberal arts college shouldn't
be exposed to all varieties of
thought and opinion. They certain -
ly should for that is within tne
framework of the American tra-
dition. But as one in the busi-
ness of trying to relate the
thoughts and opinions of others
through the printed word, I like
to keep in mind the two cardinal
principles of good journalism:
(1) be factual and (2) be objec-
tive.

The unfortunate thing is that
many of the students writing
what are passed off as news
stories in The Bullet apparent-
ly think they are supposed to
write editorials, injecting their
own opinions on any subject into
the story.

which almost goes to the point
of defending the use of marijuana.

Virginia and the college adminis-
tration thinks this institution
should be run, then so be it.
My only point concerns the dis-
tortion of news articles in the
college paper. But as a strictly
personal point I am beginning
to think it is almost a shame
that a "higher" education is
a necessity in this day and age.

Fredericksburg Negroes "timid
and subservient" presents no
real evidence to back up such a
sweeping statement other than
to say since there has been no
racial violence in the city then
it must follow that local Negroes
are all Uncle Tom's. Someone
could use her article in a text-
book on journalism as a horri-
ble example.

I could go back to other recent
issues of this publication and re-
cite similar instances of campus
kids whose stories reflect what
one assumes is an ego with
themselves which leads them to
believe they are somehow
ominiscent and just because they
think something is true and right,
then it must follow that it is
true and right.

Why, I ask, should a college
newspaper be any different from
any other newspaper where we
find personal opinions in edi-
torials, columns and letters
where they belong and left out of
news articles where they do not
belong?

Elsewhere in most recent issue
of Thi Bullet and in past copies
we see things that leave us per-
sonally a bit disturbed, such

things as:
(1) A visiting lecturer who tells

the young ladies the use of LSD

(3) A lady teacher from India
who tells the students all about
white racism in America but
fails to mention the system of
near-slavery in her own nation
where people are divided into
castes and marriages are still
arranged between families.

(4) News that a group called
the United States National Stu-
dent Association is conducting a
nationwide college referendum
on what it should do, among other
things to provide moral and fi-
nancial help to such organiza-
tions as S. N. C. C. led byStoke-
ley Carmichael and H. Rap Brown
and how it can get certain mind
altering drugs made legal and
available to just about anyone
who wants them. The story on
the coming referendum states
only the point of view of the
USNSA with no dissenting views
printed.
