Lenoir Rhyne Magazine
Spring Issue
ON THE COVER
The Lenoir Rhyne College Magazine
cover is taking on a different look, a
definite change from that of the past
sixteen years. This entire issue talks of
change, so it seems appropriate that
change be made in the format from the
cover to the final page. The publica-
tion will be seeking a format all its own
for the next several issues. If you have
ideas or convictions, send them in. You
can be assured, they will be considered
since this magazine is for you.

Mail ^\\a\ from
Alumni
Editor's Note: The following is a letter sent
to the Alumni Office by Dr. O. P. Rhyne '07.
Dr. Rhyne is living in Clemson, S. C, where
he retired after serving 31 years as head of
the modern language department at Clemson
College. He is spending his time now, at 82 </^
years old, gardening and playing tennis. He
first wrote the published letter to Dr. William
P. Cline, son of one of the founders of Lenoir
College.
"Hero Of The Hyphen"
Dear Dr. Cline:
I was glad to get the personal note
from you but I am afraid that I have no
check now for the Loyalty Fund of
"Lenoir Rhyne College." I cannot con-
scientiously support a college that either
ignorantly or deliberately bears a false-
hood in its name: There never was a
man named "Lenoir Rhyne." As you
know, the Board of the College dropped
the name Lenoir College in 1923 and
changed the name to "Daniel Rhyne
College." The alumni became angry
and at the next commencement in a
stormy meeting at the college (I was
teaching there then and know about this.)
vented their wrath against the new name.
They were quieted down by Dr. R. L.
Fritz, who suggested that the name be
"Lenoir-Rhyne College." This pleased
the alumni present and they quickly
adopted it. This was given to the Board
to have that member of the Board, who
happened also to be the representative
of Catawba County in the State Legis-
lature, to change the name legally to
"Lenoir-Rhyne College." But the sad
part of the story is that either the board
member (who, incidentally, was hostile
to Dr. Fritz) or the Board itself, double-
crossed the alumni and friends of the
college by having the name changed to
"Lenoir Rhyne," without the hyphen —
this on the theory that hyphenation was
pro-German. But the faculty and stu-
dents and others thought that the name
was legally and correctly changed to
"Lenoir-Rhyne College," and for the
next three years only the form "Lenoir-
Rhyne" was used by everybody con-
cerned. This can be checked from the
Hacawa (the college annual) for the
years 1924, 1925 and 1926. Sometime
during 1926 (I was no longer at Hickory)

ecome the reality of the day and their
answers will set the pace for the future.
How many times in the past year have you wanted
to find time to sit down and get off a letter to a dear
friend or a new acquaintance about a matter of great
importance?
Serving the alumni of Lenoir Rhyne College as
Director of Alumni Affairs has put me in this posi-
tion hundreds of times since April 1, 1967, when I
assumed my current duties. In fact, this has been the
most richly rewarding year of my life and it is due
primarily to the opportunity for association with alumni
of Lenoir Rhyne College.
The Lenoir Rhyne College Alumni Association,
10,(K)0-plus strong, is the "extension college" of Le-
noir Rhyne. Realizing this, your executive director
gets notions in his head that he would like to spend
his time driving around the 50-state campus and in
addition the many foreign countries, making time to
sit down with each alumnus personally to discuss Le-
noir Rhyne College — its greatness and its failures,
to ask the question, how did Lenoir Rhyne College
help you and I to develop as individual human beings
and to find our place in society today, and what can
Lenoir Rhyne College do to better assist students in
determining values necessary to find meaning and pur-
pose in human life.
But alas, not only is it humanly impossible for one
person to personally talk with so many, I'm afraid the
budget would not permit such extended travel. There-
fore, it seems we must resort to the use of the mails
or telephone to communicate the ideas each of us has.
And in some cases, this too, is, or has been a problem.
Many times 1 have received letters that I felt I would
like to answer and that perhaps suggested an answer
was in order, but then we simply did not have the
office staff to get off a personal letter — and do other
important works also. My apologies if I should have
answered you, but didn't. This suggestion if there
is something that can still be done about the matter:
write again or call.
If we say in one breath that there was not time to
write a letter, then in the next breath it seems we must
explain what took priority. There are serious matters

Jim Rice, Director of
Alumni Affairs and the

SPRING 1968
This series of articles discusses
change at Lenoir Rhyne and pos-
sible ways that it will come about.
Involved in at least the phases
of change mentioned in this series
are 1 — Jeff Norris, director of
development, 2 — William Fryar,
instructor in biology, 3 — Dr.
Hans G. Heymann, English de-
partment head, and 4 — Dr. Im-
manuel Gitlin, associate profes-
sor of Bible and philosophy.
Picture 5 was taken at the facul-
ty meeting where the honors com-
mittee presented their program.
Change
In a progressive world continuous change is the normal
pattern of development and a college in this world must
meet its environment with change and progress if it is
to be considered relevant by its constituency.
Lenoir Rhyne College at present has the bug — ^the
creative bug. And it affects the entire constituency of
Lenoir Rhyne College. It affects the administration,
the faculty, the trustees, the geographical area surround-
ing the campus, and yes, even the alumni. Many persons
who, as of this time, have never heard of Lenoir Rhyne
will also be affected.
The creative bug toys with the ideas of change, of
something new, and of adjustment to that something new.
College campuses across the nation are beginning to
realize that the modern student is intent upon making his
own history. At the same time the student is seeking
to understand a world that is no longer conveniently
divided into various isolated areas, but rather, a world
that is becoming a world community more complex than
any community that has existed before.
The challenge is there. The students see it. They
demand that a relevant college provide them an educa-
tion to meet the challenge.
Lenoir Rhyne, seeing the inevitable change, has begun
a search for the direction in which to change. "A change
to what?" has become the question.
That's where creativity takes over.
Slightly over one year ago, Jeff Norris become direc-
tor of development at Lenoir Rhyne. He accepted the
position with one constant as a guideline — plan change
or progress to attract students and support.
The college retained a development consultant to aid
with this planning. A development board (made up of
outstanding men across North Carolina) was formed to
aid the board of trustees of the college. The Alumni
Association president represents the association on this
board.
The development office, following the action of the
board of trustees of the college, set out to determine what
the future direction of the college should be in the areas
of enrollment, curriculum, faculty, student life, adminis-
tration, facilities, and finance. Committees made up of
college administrators, faculty, and students are being

LENOIR RHYNE MAGAZINE
Not just the pursuit of knowledge,
but "knowledge for what purpose?" led
to the implementation of an honors pro-
gram in English at Lenoir Rhyne College.
Under the direction of Dr. Hans G.
Heymann, head of the English depart-
ment, the "honors program in English"
was the first honors program created
and has served to strengthen LR in the
pursuit of excellence.
According to Dr. Heymann, the
"father of LRC's English honor pro-
gram," the department wanted to "begin
with a good program rather than dream
of a perfect program."
To achieve this, the program was dis-
cussed in detail for months and a sur-
vey of honors programs in other colleges
was conducted — chiefly to avoid the pit-
fall of offering a program only to the
junior and senior. Foremost in the plan
was the objective of challenging the
superior student immediately up>on en-
tering college and throughout his four
undergraduate years.
The honors course on the freshman
and sophomore levels is open to all
qualified students regardless of their
majors, while the junior-senior seminar
is for English majors only.
The program offers a type of in-
tellectual liberation, creating a challenge
to critical thinking and creative and
imaginative work. It affords the student
the intimacy and personal attention of
a small class in a small school, and the
freedom and opportunity to realize his
best and most articulate self among other
able and articulate selves.
The honors program not only con-
tributes to the student but also to the
faculty, for according to Dr. Heymann,
"The honors program stirs out of
lethargy all members of the faculty who
have the power to contribute to the
program. It taps all of our latent re-
sources and avoids undue smugness and
complacency that leans on past achieve-
ment."
A definite goal, very high standards,
(Please Turn To Page 6)
Busy faculties, serious students, and
harder courses make up the vogue of
the hour today at Lenoir Rhyne.
No faculty member on the campus
is able to escape the responsibility of
committee work, and it is this sort of
work that William Fryar, instructor in
biology, is doing as chairman of an
honors committee on campus.
Serving as chairman of a six-member
Honors Committee with a purpose to
foster, stimulate and direct the develop-
ment of an honors program may seem
pretty cut-and-dried to the average non-
academician, but when you add to it
the intention to encourage creativity and
plans related to the possibilities of es-
tablishing an honors program in the
respective departments while endeavoring
to achieve a correlated over-all program,
you get a hint of the bureaucracy of a
large corporation.
Capping it all off is the responsibility
of the honors committee to give proper
consideration to the plans and com-
mitments contained in the proposal for
which a $25,000 grant was received from
the Board of College Education and
Church Vocations of the Lutheran
Church in America. All put together,
the one-time faculty member, or mem-
bers, become administrators of grant
monies and at the same time are pros-
pective developers of a more relevant
way to appeal to the student with ex-
ceptional academic potential.
Delving deeper into the responsibilities
of an honors committee on the Lenoir
Rhyne campus, Fryar explains that his
committee is serving currently as a group
which recommends to the college ad-
ministration the disbursing of LCA
grant money as regards departmental
honors programs of the college.
"We are doing this since there is no
one else assigned to this task on the L.R.
campus. We simply study proposals be-
fore the administration acts."
Describing his duties in another way,
(Please Turn To Page 6)
Starting a "college within a college"
was the thinking of Dr. Immanual Gitlin
on April 3, 1968, when he presented
some ideas to the Lenoir Rhyne faculty
on his studies of possible honors pro-
grams at Lenoir Rhyne.
He suggested that experimentation in
honors might pave the way for neces-
sary changes in the curriculum at Le-
noir Rhyne.
An honors program should be used
to enrich the students involved in it
rather than to accellerate them in their
required work, Gitlin said, mentioning
also general considerations for deter-
mining who would be chosen for honors
work.
He said that status in high school
graduating classes, scores on college
board examinations (1200 or above), and
the student who has worked in art,
poetry, or science may be the ones he
would suggest seeking. Concerning stu-
dents interested in art, poetry, and
science, he stressed that they must also
be able and wiUing to communicate
their ideas to fellow students.
Another matter of concern when go-
ing into honors programs, Gitlin ex-
plained, is determining at what point
in a students college career is it most
practical to enter the program. This is
where he said he favors a special re-
cruitment program for students to enter
a "college within the college" which
would not be bound by general college
requirements.
Concerning qualifications for teachers
in such a "college", Gitlin said that
primarily the professor must have a love
for Interrelating disciplines, must be a
person who contributes to knowledge,
who does research, and that with this
type of professor, the disease of learning
will then be caught by the students.
For the "college within the college,"
Gitlin suggested 45 to 60 students.
The organizing principle of the new
program would be "Christianity and
Culture," similar to a program adopted

CHANGE (Continued)
asked to search for answers as to which way the college
should move with relation to the above mentioned areas.
A fuller report on progress will be made in the summer
issue of the Alumni magazine.
In the fall other representative constituents of the col-
lege will be asked, at a planning session, what their ideas
are concerning the future of the college. In short, right
now is a time for searching — uncovering every stone that
might lead to pertinent information toward developing Le-
noir Rhyne College for future educational service.
As simple as this task seems, when creativity starts,
that's when the unrest begins. That's precisely why you
are being confronted now. You are also involved, or
can be involved, if you wish to be actively interested in the
future of L.R. You will find in this magazine informa-
tion concerning Alumni Day, 1968, which gives vast op-
portunity for each alumnus of Lenoir Rhyne to make his
ideas for the future of L.R. known to the campus com-
munity. You will find in stories running parallel to this
one, an example of what a faculty committee is doing in
terms of trying to determine an honors program for the
future.
Also, you will find in this magazine what one member
of the board of trustees of the college discovered when he
compared faculty salaries at Lenoir Rhyne with that of
other institutions.
You will learn of the new Affiliate Artist Program on
campus. And you will find some of these subjects ex-
citing. They are important to Lenoir Rhyne's future.
Constituents of Lenoir Rhyne need to remember that
change is coming on the Lenoir Rhyne Campus. Whether
it comes in a manner an individual desires depends en-
tirely on that individuals thinking and his subsequent ac-
tion to make his ideas known.
It is the object of the development office — and thus
everyone interested in Lenoir Rhyne — ^to assure that the
changes that do come, the progress that is made, will be
right for Lenoir Rhyne.

much interest, and many hours of hard
work have made this program part of
the changing pattern which leads on-
ward and upward to the ultimate goal
of Lenoir Rhyne College — the pursuit
of excellence.
TODAY
(Continued)
Fryar said, "We are in reality acting as
catalysts, or possibly advisors, on honors
work.
"What do we do," you ask.
First, we try to make known to every
department head the opportunity to pur-
sue an honors program in their depart-
ment.
In addition, we have sponsored several
specific projects with regard to honors
work.
On Oct. 10, 1967, we held a Superior
Student's Day on the campus appealing
mainly to high school students with high
college board scores and who had ap-
plied to Lenoir Rhyne.
The day included a tour of LR faci-
lities, a conference with department
heads, an explanation of the philosophy
of L.R. and the opportunity to see Le-
noir Rhyne College Playmaker produc-
tion, "Androcles and the Lion."
We followed the day up with a letter
asking the dozen superior students at-
tending if they wanted to apply for a
scholarship. All responded positively.
Another project of the honors com-
mittee was to bring Arnold Nash, an
authority on Christianity and Culture,
to the campus to lead a discussion of
various factors related to inter-depart-
mental program experience.
The discussion sessions, attended by
department heads or their representatives,
tended to show the heads of the depart-
ment lines along which the honors com-
mittee was thinking at that time.
One member of the honors com-
mittee. Dr. Immanuel Gitlin, has had
former experience with honors programs
and has some ideas concerning the direc-
tion he would like to see honors work
move at Lenoir Rhyne.
On April 3, the honors committee
presented the program at the monthly
educational meeting of the college
faculty.
"The program," Fryar said, "was sim-
ply an expression of Dr. Gitlin's ideas
at that particular time — April 3, 1968,
4:15 p.m.- — concerning a direction for
honors work." (See parallel story)
"We are exploring so many avenues,"
Fryar stated, "that even the honors com-
mittee on that particular day had not
had the opportunity to previously hear
the views presented by Dr. Gitlin.
"Gitlin presented a structured pro-
gram, but certainly not a final program
approved by the honors committee,"
Fryar said.
"It's sort of like one professor put
it" Fryar mused. "The program was
presented so the faculty could sniff it
like one might sniff a glass of good
brandy."
"I believe the faculty program, though,
was typical of what the honors commit-
tee is currently doing — searching for a
workable honors program for Lenoir
Rhyne College. In doing this we are
looking at every conceivable possibility
we can stumble upon."
When will a new honors program be
incorporated if the committee can come
up with one?
"I suspect whatever comes out of the
committee will not be incorporated into
the college program until September,
1969, at the earliest," Fryar explained.

by St. Andrew's Presbyterian College in
Laurinburg several years ago. It is re-
ported in "College Management" that
their program is successful and that it
will be further expanded in 1969.
Under the proposed program, the
student during his freshman and sopho-
more years would spend 16-20 hours on
the Christianity and Culture course,
studying the modem period with a
sociological orientation, the ancient,
mediaeval, reform, renaissance, and 17th-
19th century periods with historical
orientation, and would be studying main-
ly Western culture with a look at Asian

SPRING 1968
Profs
Are
Any institution of higher learning has many com-
ponent parts: faculty, students, buildings, alumni,
athletics, and curricula. Each contributes in a viable
and significant manner to the makeup of a college or
university. Many institutions are especially renowned
for the numbers of students enrolled, physical plants,
research, graduate and professional schools, or athletic
teams. But the most important component of any
institution is, unquestionably, the faculty. The ulti-
mate effectiveness and reputation of an institution is
directly related to the competence of the faculty and
the degree of success in its pedagogic endeavors.
Lenoir Rhyne College has neither the ambitions nor
the financial resources to become a huge, research-
oriented university. Rather, our alma mater has wise-
ly committed herself to provide her students with a
quality education with a distinctive Christian emphasis.
To be able to provide this quality undergraduate edu-
cation toward which Lenoir Rhyne is striving, a faculty
of dedicated, scholarly, and competent personnel must
be sought and retained. New buildings, good stu-
dents, and an eviable institutional reputation will all
normally accrue once a surperb faculty has been en-
listed.
Most alumni and friends of Lenoir Rhyne will im-
mediately recognize that our institution already has
some of the best faculty members available. But Le-
noir Rhyne is faced with some difficult problems of
how to retain these excellent teachers and how to
recruit other competent teachers now and in the future.
A prospective faculty member considers a number
of factors before accepting or changing a position.
Such things as teaching loads, number of students,
possibilities of advancement, and extrai-class respon-
sibilities all are carefully weighed. But in the final
analysis the main consideration by most faculty mem-
bers, just as in any other profession, is the salary he
will receive for his services. At Lenoir Rhyne salaries
of faculty members have become an immediate and
LENOIR RHYNE MAGAZINE

critical problem, and will become an ever-increasing
problem in the future unless something is done very
soon.
It is a well-known fact that school teachers (college
faculty members included) have been among the lowest
paid professional people in our society. College
faculty salaries have been notoriously low for longer
than any of us care to remember. In the mid-1950's
institutions all over the country became aware that
faculty salaries must be increased to a competitive
level comparable with other professions requiring a
similar educational training. Therefore, in the last
decade faculty salaries have risen steadily each year.
There is hope that this upward trend will continue
until faculty salaries will soon become competitive
with those of other professions.
The American Association of University Profes-
sors makes an annual report concerning the economic
status of the profession; most of the following data
are adapted from their report (AAUP Bulletin, vol.
53(2), 1967). This report, based on the data of
over 181,000 faculty members in 862 institutions,
shows an average 9-month salary for the academic
year 1966-67 of $10,387 plus fringe benefits (the
latter's average is $902). A breakdown of the average
salary for each professorial rank is:
Rank

Associate Professor

Assistant Professor

Lenoir Rhyne College Board
of Trustee Member Dr. Paul Lutz
takes a serious look at Lenoir
Rhyne faculty salaries as compared
with similar institutions.
An annual salary of nearly $10,400 may seem
rather adequate to some readers. This average re-
muneration, however, still ranks significantly below
many other professions such as doctors, dentists,
lawyers, architects, salesmen, engineers, and many,
many more. Only a few other professional positions
pay an average salary lower than that of college faculty;
these include public school teachers, nurses, morticians,
and clergymen.
Faculty salaries have quite a range depending upon
the type and location of the institution at which a
professor is teaching. The following table presents
average faculty salaries in 1966-67 at various types
of institutions in the South and border states and else-
where, and clearly shows these variations:

$10,842
Teachers' Colleges
$ 9,541
$ 9,469
The above data show that universities pay better
salaries than colleges, and salaries in the South are
considerably lower than in comparable institutions in
other areas. In general, church-related colleges also
pay lower salaries than do private or public ones. In
SPRING 1968
short, institutions paying the lowest salaries are liberal
arts, church-related southern colleges.
You are wondering by now just how Lenoir Rhyne
ranks relative to the national averages. The average
9-month salary (exclusive of benefits) in 1966-67 was
$7,262. This average can be analyzed according to
professorial rank as follows:
Rank
Professor
Associate Professor
Assistant Professor
Instructor
All ranks
Average Salary
$8,777
7,446
6,815
5,852
$7,262
The average salary at Lenoir Rhyne is more than
$3,100 less than the national average. A faculty mem-
ber at Lenoir Rhyne makes an average of about $1,200
less than the average for professors at southern, church-
related, liberal arts colleges. Some institutions in this
state pay lower salaries than Lenoir Rhyne does. Of
the 60 North Carolina institutions, however, a great
majority pay their faculty more than does Lenoir
Rhyne.
The institution that gave each of us our occupational
or vocational start pays its dedicated faculty members
at a rate below the regional average, which is, in turn,
far below the national average. Added to this most
critical and urgent problem is the rate of salary in-
crease at Lenoir Rhyne. The percent increase in
faculty salaries from 1965-66 to 1966-67 in the na-
tion was 6.8%, while that for Lenoir Rhyne was 6.0%.
The most distressing point is that the salary gap be-
tween Lenoir Rhyne and many other institutions in
the nation is widening each year, rather than narrowing.
The picture about faculty salaries at Lenoir Rhyne
that emerges from the foregoing is one of profound
alarm and genuine concern. It is a serious problem
to which each of us dares not turn a complacent ear.
Faculty compensations must be increased immediately
and significantly if Lenoir Rhyne is to remain an edu-
cational pillar in this state and region.
From the foregoing discussion, the reader may get
the impression that Lenoir Rhyne has been ignored by
those who direct and support her. This is far from
being correct. Rather. Lenoir Rhyne is fortunate to
have dedicated administrators to oversee, manage, and
guide her interests. Every administrative official has
been acutely aware of the low salary scale and has
done almost everything possible to try to correct this
problem. President Cromer has toiled in a tireless
manner in upgrading every aspect of our college. He
has been vitally concerned with trying to enrich Le-
noir Rhyne's entire educational program and is try-
ing to solve the economic problems concerning salaries.
The governing Board of Trustees is also fully aware
of our tenacious position in faculty salaries and is now
searching for ways to improve them whenever and
wherever possible. (Dr. Raymond M. Bost became
president since this article was completed).
To increase substantially the level of faculty salaries,
there must be a corresponding increase in the income
of an institution. The operational incomes of Lenoir
Rhyne can be categorized into four areas: (1) The
North Carolina Synod of the Lutheran Church in
America, (2) student tuitions, (3) interest from invest-
ments, and (4) gifts from individuals, chiefly from
alumni. The $125,000 given annually to Lenoir
Rhyne by the Lutheran Church in North Carolina is
about the maximum available from the Synod at
present. Instructional costs to students will normally
increase with time and with a rising economy, but to
increase tuition costs enough now to raise faculty
salaries to an adequate level would make tuition costs
prohibitive. Interests accrued from the college's in-
vestments cannot be increased significantly since we are
receiving about the maximum in interest rates. Monies
used to increase faculty salaries must, then, come from
increased gifts and contributions made by alumni and
friends of Lenoir Rhyne.

LENOIR RHYNE MAGAZINE
Lenoir Rhyne has a program of annual giving for
alumni and friends appropriately called the Loyalty
Fund. During 1966-67, contributions totalling $40,-
000 were given by hundreds of appreciative and loyal
alumni. While some of this money goes to operate
certain alumni activities, the great majority is turned
over to the College and used primarily to help aug-
ment faculty salaries. But last year, including the
rather sizable amount given to the Loyalty Fund, the
average annual faculty salary was more than $3,100
below that of the national average. This means that
we alumni are going to have to contribute to the
Loyalty Fund an amount far in excess of the $40,000
given last year if faculty salaries are going to rise at
all.
It is logical, and indeed necessary, then to propose
a radical increase in amounts given to the Loyalty
Fund. I hope the alumni of Lenoir Rhyne will muster
some of that famous "L. R. Spirit" and devote them-
selves to assist in improving faculty salaries at our
alma mater. I propose that beginning in 1968-69 we,
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Dr. Paul Lutz, a 1956 graduate of Lenoir Rhyne,
is on the Biology faculty of the University of
North Carolina at Greensboro. He earned the
M.S. degree at the University of Miami and the
Ph.D. degree at the University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill. His wife, Alice Patterson Lutz,

the alumni of Lenoir Rhyne, set our goals to raise
$100,000 for the Loyalty Fund for Lenoir Rhyne. I
would hope that this monetary amount and more might
be contributed each year by loyal alumni and friends.
The additional $60,000 next year might be effectively
used in the three following ways:
1. $45,000 could be used to increase faculty salaries
immediately. Such an amount would mean an
average salary increase of about $500 per faculty
member. Contributions to the Loyalty Fund
would have to be sustained at this lev£l from
now on if we are to maintain this initial increase.
If the income of the college were increased
enough so as to make possible this salary in-
crease every year, the salaries at Lenoir Rhyne
would be competitive nationally within a few
years.
2. $10,000 of the annual Loyalty Fund drive could
be used to initiate and build several Alumni
Endowed Professorships. The interest from this
annual investment would be used as stipends for
the holders of these professorships. Thus, un-
usual excellence and competence in teaching
would be encouraged and rewarded.
3. The remaining $5,000 annually could be used as
a Faculty Enrichment Fund. This would be
used to support faculty members in advanced
graduate study, refresher courses, research op-
portunities, seminars, travel to professional meet-
ings, and the like.
The acute problems of faculty salaries at Lenoir
Rhyne can be alleviated only if we alumni will realize
the importance of our gifts and comprehend how much
our contributions to the Loyalty Fund will assist our
alma mater. If salary compensations are improved,
Lenoir Rhyne will retain those on its staff who have
demonstrated scholarship and excellence, and those
who are dedicated to the concepts of a quality Christian
education. Equally important, new desirable faculty
members can be more easily recruited if our college
can offer adequate remunerations for their talents,
training, and experience.
The success each of us enjoys in life is partially
due to the collegiate training afforded us by Lenoir
Rhyne College. All of us owe our institution and its
faculty more than we can repay for giving us our ex-
cellent educational and occupational training. Let us
do everything we can now to raise the level of faculty
salaries and make them competitive with other institu-
tions and with other professions. Lenoir Rhyne's
most pressing problem cannot and must not tolerate
our complacency and indifference. If we act now and
in a significant way, we can proudly sing, "Fair star
of Caroline, our College glorious, ..."

MUSICIAN
with a message
by Jackie Sumpter '57
"A musician with a message,"
summed up a recent reviewer of
Kathleen Quillen, Lenoir Rhyne
CoHege's Affiliate Artist.
And, indeed she is.
LR's slender blonde ambassador
of culture, wields her mind-stretch-
ing 'message' with wry humor and
gentle voice, garnished with equally
dazzling displays of virtuosity at
the concert organ, to such effective-
ness that the 'generation gap' in-
exorably closes.
Example: Students jam the
Cromer student center for a "Bach
& Beatles Be-In." This on a cam-
pus where virtually no cultural
effort turns out more than a hand-
ful of students who are directly in-
volved in the field.
This response was not accom-
plished by some form of trickery
calculated to draw students by capi-
talizing on popular music. It was
a grass-roots expression of interest
in exploration of the music field.
The approach was entirely in keep-
ing with Miss Quillen's philosophy
of music.
"The sacred mode in music is an
awkward, illogical turn" she said in
a recent lecture, "a bent path in
musical eternity. The audible ap-
pearance of the sacred is seemingly
capricious. It may be present in the
latest rock and soul music, and
noticably absent in a Christian
hymn."
This electrifying statement is
sure-fire draw power for today's
youth, who are involved in an in-
12
tense religious search. Miss Quillen,
believes, as do many sociologists,
clergymen, and youth experts, that
the modern collegian is more reli-
gious than ever before, more in-
volved with moral questions — but
not necessarily in the framework
of the established church.
When on the campus, the quiet,
intense artist involves the student
body. For a week before the "Be-
In" Miss Quillen practiced on the
organ in the lounge of the Student
Center. Students wandering by
often stopped to listen and even-
tually to discuss. In addition to ap-
pearances at a convocation. Miss
Quillen has visited various classes
such as aesthetics, sociology. Christ-
ian ethics, Shakespeare. Her par-
ticipation in the recent Fine Arts
Festival on campus added both
artistry and challenge.
Involvement and search are key
words to Miss Quillen's approach to
sacred music, artistry and philoso-
phy. Not only is she well-versed in
her specialty (holding one of the
highest degrees attainable by a per-
forming musician specializing in
the organ) she is truly interested in
"what's happening" on the con-
temporary music scene (one of her
next projects is an experiment in
electronic music) and extremely
well-versed in modern literature and
philosophy.
Her exploration of the sacred in
music (on which she based a masters
thesis) takes full cognizance of
treasurers of the past but accepts.

nay demands, a constant probing
questioning of the value and con-
tribution of the art to the worship
of God.
In commenting on some forms
of traditional religious music she
unhesitatingly states: "Reverence
rooted in the desire for perfection
in man-made forms . . . leads to
idolatry."
In explanation she notes that
though a work of art (in this case
a musical composition) may be per-
fect in form it is "profane if it has
no opening, no place for shock to
perception."
Rapidly warming to her topic,
phrases like "discontinuity within
continuity," a paradoxical moment
when opposites co-exist," pepper
her intense exposition, forcing the
mind to expand and attempt to
grasp the idea in the same way the
existential attitudes of the late,
greatly respected Lutheran theolo-
gian Paul Tillich stretches ones reli-
gious perception and search.
Stimulation of thought is not con-
fined to the student. Miss Quillen

hometown, Atlanta. Her exciting
lecture-demonstration, and recitals,
draw enthusiastic response both for
the mind and the artistry. Thus,
the multi-talented musician per-
forms her second duty as Affiliate
Artist — outreach to the community
and the nation as a representative
of Lenoir Rhyne.
Also in carrying out the latter.
Miss Quillen served as organist and
choirmaster for the March program
of the Atlanta Council of Camp
Fire Girls, Inc. involving over 2,000
children from the area. Such a
tremendous undertaking naturally
put Lenoir Rhyne's name before a
great portion of the population, and
incidentally, in the pages of At-
lanta's nationally respected news-
paper. The Constitution.
The Affiliate Artist program is
a revolutionary idea for the Amer-
ican arts, designed to aid both the
artist and the college. The recently
instituted national program has
three primary objectives: to build
regionally and nationally larger au-
diences for the performing arts, to
aid professional performers in the
crucial middle stages of their
careers, and to give college and uni-
versities the advantage of an esta-
blished artist as cultural representa-
tive and spokesman for the arts
in their communities and regions.
LR is one of the pioneering col-
leges in the program which has
14
LENOIR RHYNE MAGAZINE
received endorsements from such
wide sources as the publisher of
Esquire magazine, famed opera star
Robert Merrill, the President of
Beliot Corporation and numerous
members of the Metropolitan Opera
Association.
Miss Quillen's educational and
professional background illustrate
the high calibre of the artists the
program is sponsoring. Her profes-
sional career ranges from singing,
accordion and dancing, to piano,
string bass and percussion instru-
ments, and finally to the "king of
instruments, "the organ. She re-
ceived her music bachelor's degree
from Jacksonville University, ful-
filled by a mosaic of credits from
Jacksonville Conservatory, St. Olaf
College and Julliard and Union
Schools of Music. She holds both
the Fellowship and Choirmaster
degrees from the American Guild
of Organists. Finally, a Master of
Arts degree in Comparative Litera-
ture and Art was conferred upon
her by Emory University, Atlanta,
in 1966.
Armed with these impressive
credits, sparkled by a charming
personality and chic appearance.
Miss Ouillen has carried her mes-
sage and music successfully to a
large proportion of the Lenoir
Rhyne populace, the Hickory com-
munity, and the center of the South-
east.
Further forays are planned for
the remainder of the year, including
sacred music seminars for North
Carolina churches in which Miss
Ouillen will utilize her skills in any
manner desired by the churches.
Perhaps the artist herself best
defines her task and pursuit when
she says: "Playing the organ is ana-
logous to all the joys and despairs
in the momentum of a creative
daily life. I want people to know
how much fun music can be, how
deeply and existentially religious
it is, and how explicitly it (especially
organ playing) relates to every per-
son's daily existence."
Music preparation, hours of
practice, and final decisions
are all a part of preparing
a lecture ■ demonstration, says
Affiliate Artist, Kathleen Quillen.

Hans Morganthau, Director of the Center for the
Study of Foreign Policy at the University of Chicago,
maintains that the sine qua non of foreign policy is
the defense of the national interest. Charles Osgood,
Director of the Institute of Communications Research
at the University of Illinois and a contributor to the
Liberal Papers on foreign policy, concludes that the
irreducible minimum criteria for the determination of
the goals of foreign policy are: to preserve our own
way of life for ourselves and our progeny, to stay alive,
and that such policy must be feasible within the ex-
isting system of competing sovereign states.
It is within the framework of this hypothesis that
I would argue that the United States involvement in
Viet Nam is defensible. Parenthetically, it should be
noted that I have neither the space nor the incMnation
to discuss the related, substantial but peripheral issues
such as the equity of the draft, military tactics, cre-
dibility gaps, or permissible bounds of protest. The
essential issue of this paper is the relationship of our
involvement in Viet Nam to the defense of our na-
tional interest.
The United States is one of two major world powers.
While such a statement may be axiomatic, our puritani-
cal concept of power — all power — as evil often blinds
us to recognition of the fact. The mere possession
of such power means that it is weighed in the balance
of international affairs either by its presence or by
its absence. Specifically, in Viet Nam this means

address of President Lyndon
by William Maimey
The war in Viet Nam is the central issue in Amer-
ican foreign pohcy. For many Americans, it has be-
come the central issue of their lives. United States
involvement in Southeast Asia is as a supporter of
the "status quo" powers rather than as a supporter
of evolutionary development of the third world. Be-
cause of our heavy involvement in the conflict, the
ability of the United States to work toward resolution
with the rest of the world of the major policital,
economic, and social issues of the day has been
hampered. The Middle East conflict, economic de-
velopment of the periphery, East-West relations, and
world monitary relations all must take a back seat to
Viet Nam.
The war in Viet Nam has been steadily escalated
» in the name of a new "globalism." In the opinion of
the present administration, this is the method most
likely to prevent revolutionary movements from be-
coming communist success stories. This policy has
been adopted not only in Viet Nam, but throughout
. the world. As a result of this policy, the United
I States finds itself committed to a land war in Asia of
I steadily growing proportions. At present, we have
more than one-half million men in Viet Nam and
rumors present in Washington suggest that another
round of escalation is in the offing.
^ Perhaps the most remarkable item of all is that few
' Americans know anythmg about Viet Nam or the
character of the American involvement there. This is

that the outcome of that situation
is inevitably up to us. Our deci-
sion to intervene or not to inter-
vene had to be by the existence of
our power the determining factor
in the resolution of the conflict. To
have withheld that power would
have meant that the five per cent
of the South Vietnamese, who be-
longed to the National Liberation
Front, with the assistance of Ho
Chi Minh and the army of North
Viet Nam, would have overthrown
the government of Saigon. More-
over, it can be argued on the evi-
dence that, thus encouraged, high-
ly developed tactics of terrorism
would have been licensed through-
out the Third World. There is con-
siderable evidence that such tactics
have been developed into a highly
sophisticated, self-contained branch
of communist military science by
such leaders as Mao Tse Tung, Che
Guevera, and General Giap of
North Viet Nam. The Tri-Con-
tinental Conference, permanently
headquartered in Havana, defines
as its own purpose, "To create
more Viet Nams in Asia, Africa
and South America." Hence, it may
be argued that our involvement in
Viet Nam is a morally justifiable
attempt to discourage a broader
escalation of communist revolution
throughout the less-developed areas
of the world — a condition that
would inevitably and directly
threaten all three of the minimum
criteria previously established as
determinants of our vital interests.
Should such developments occur as
a consequence of our failure to act
early, our options would be reduced
and the potentiality of nuclear res-
ponse enlarged.
Evidence for the theory I have
outlined abounds. Historical ana-
logy (recognizing the limitations of
any analogy) can be drawn from
the experience of the late 1930's
when, with our commitment to
neutrality, conditions escalated in
Europe and Asia to the point where
the price was world war. Our at-
tempt at negotiated neutrality in
Laos, another of the SEATO pro-
tocol areas, has resulted in overt
North Viet Nam invasion of that
nation in support of the indigenous
Pathet Lao.
Space does not permit a legal
brief of our position here. Let it
suffice to note that our involve-
ment in Viet Nam occurs at the
invitation of the Saigon govern-
ment, recognized as the legitimate
government by more than 30 states
outside the communist orbit. Our
attempts, and there have been five
of them, to get this matter before
the United Nations has met with
consistent obstruction by the Com-
munist Bloc. Attempts by Great
Britain, co-chairman of the Geneva
Conference, to reconvene that or-
ganization (a move which we have
supported) have been frustrated by
the other co-chairman, the Soviet
Union. Only Pakistan, Great Bri-
tain, and France among the SEATO
nations have withheld military sup-
port from South Viet Nam, an in-
dication of the extent of concern
and international cooperation in the
endeavor.
Hence, it may be concluded that
aside from the arguments surround-
ing the alleged attacks on the Mad-
dox and Turner Joy, and aside
from the extravagances of current
or earlier Saigon regimes, the dan-
gers to the vital interests of the
United States, Southeast Asia, and
the eventual peace of the world are
inextricably bound up in the suc-
cessful restoration of the status-quo
anti-bellum and the opportunity for
truly free elections in South Viet
Nam. This is not to imply that
United States' interests are opposed
to internal reform, even revolution
wherever it occurs. I have attempted
to point with care to a particular
type of insurgency and refer to the
evidence of its long-range strategy.
Further, it must be recognized in
foreign affairs, as in domestic mat-
ters, that the response of a demo-
cratic government is by its nature
pragmatic. It shall undoubtedly be
the essence of continuing United
States foreign policy to resist com-
munist expansion where and when
it is feasible and to withhold our
support when it is not; or, in those
cases where it can be determined
to be result of autonomous, indi-
genous decisions. Such is the nature
of the dilemma facing a liberal
democracy. For the Marxist, no
such problem exists — the totali-
tarian response is dictated by the
single-mindedness of their purpose.
For the democrat, there is no con-
ditioned response. A recent editorial
in the Manchester Guardian puts
it this way: 'The American Con-

stitution assumes that man shall
enjoy hfe, liberty, and the pursuit
of happiness. In Viet Nam the situa-
tion has come about where some
men must die so that, in theory,
the remainder may pursue happi-
ness. Equally, one could say that
some should lose their liberty so
that all may live. But in the un-
derdeveloped world as a whole, it
looks increasingly unlikely that men
will enjoy the package deal of all
three."

association with the repressive Diem
family and, more recently, the
Thieu Ky regime.
Much has been made over the
South Viet Nam election of late
1967. But close examination of the
election results reveals that 67%
of the Vietnamese population was
excluded from the election because
of their "communist" or "neutra-
list" leanings. Of the 33% remain-
ing as "eligible voters" only 83%
exercised their right. Of the 83%
who voted, only 35% voted for
the Thieu Ky ticket. The result:
only 35% of 83% of 33% of the
Vietnamese voted for the present
government. All of this ignores
other limitations such as the fact
that candidates had to be "ap-
proved" by the government in order
to seek election. In short, in the
words of Hans J. Morgenthau, the
war in Viet Nam is "an anti-re-
volutionary war fought by a revolu-
tionary nation." It is Metternich's
war fought by the nation of Jeffer-
son and Lincoln.
After more than ten years of
American involvement, some mem-
bers of the Senate, the House of
Representatives, the press, and the
administration speak of a war that
could last a decade or more. But
what of the cost of such a war? Al-
ready more than 20,000 Americans
have lost their lives and many more
have been wounded. We are spend-
ing around 40 billion dollars an-
nually and many of our closest
friends in the Western Alliance
have been alienated. The recent re-
port of the president's commission
on civil disorders tells of another
cost of Viet Nam. Last year we
spent 35 billion dollars for the war
in Viet Nam and only one billion
dollars for the war on poverty.
While we spend $322,000 for every
enemy we kill, we spend only $53
for each American classified as
poor. To this outrage is added the
fact that the poor are fighting in
Viet Nam in greater proportion than
(Coned)

their numbers in the general popu-
lation.
Finally, we are told that the war
in Viet Nam is necessary as proof
of our will and our ability to "keep
our commitments." I do not have
enough space here to detail these
"commitments." Suffice it to say
that the SEATO agreements calling
for "direct action" had not occurred
at the time of our intervention. In
a similar situation in Laos shortly
before, we had claimed that no
such commitment existed, even
though the SEATO treaty includes
Laos in the protocal area. But ignor-
ing the tenuousness of our agree-
ments, world confidence in our
other commitments will not be
strengthened by our becoming so
bogged down that American citizens
begin insisting that there must not
be any more Viet Nams.
In short, it is a foolish policy to
attempt to fill the role of world
policeman without considering the
hopes and asph-ations of others.
American foreign policy should be
based on the premise that we are
the rich citizen of the world and
should bear the greatest burden and
perform responsibly. We have be-
gun to adopt this standard domesti-
cally; we should now begin to ap-
ply it internationally.

for consideration in alumni work in this nation and
world today. Along with continued questions such
as, "what is an alumni association and what is the pur-
pose of an alumni association and what responsibility
does an alumnus have to a college and a college to
alumni," there are the follow-up questions which are
my definite responsibility as executive secretary of the
Lenoir Rhyne College Alumni Association and Direc-
tor of Alumni Affairs at Lenoir Rhyne College.
For instance, if we assume that the afore mentioned
questions are answered and that there is to be an
alumni association, the questions then arising in my
mind are of a more practical nature. Questions such
as: is it my job to interpret Lenoir Rhyne College to
alumni by sending out every piece of information pos-
sible on policy decisions? Is it my duty to let alumni
know constantly about the many exciting programs at
Lenoir Rhyne that continue and, in addition, about the
many innovations that come about? Is it my job to at
least once a year try to evaluate what has happened
on the campus in the order of importance and to pro-
vide interpretative reporting and editorials on these
happenings?
Then concerning the policy of the Alumni Associa-
tion and the Alumni Office work: Should I become
concerned when less than 20% of the alumni respond
to Alumni Association Loyalty Fund appeals; should
I become concerned when more alumni do not return
to the campus on Alumni Day?
Then when I see the tremendous number of cultural
type proerams available on campus, I wonder whether
we should spend the time or use the monev it would
take to inform all alumni within 50 miles of the cam-
pus of the opportunity to come to the campus, many
times admission free, to such programs.
Of course, this then raises the question: Should we
just make it known that there are many types of pro-
grams available and depend upon the alumnus to write
in and say: I am interested in the arts, the business
department, the English department? Please let me
know anything that is happening in these areas so that
I might attend the event, be aware of action, or just
keep in touch.
Then you think about the tremendous progress in
the space program today, you begin to ask whether
it's a job of the college through the Alumni Association
to keep the alumni abreast of changes and how they
might prepare themselves for change. Should the
Alumni Association sponsor, through the college, on-
campus summer seminars for the alumni in various
fields or inter-related fields? Should alumni become
more interested in student affairs, directly supporting
programs involving students to assure them that the
Alumni Association is made up of people, not non-
people. Many, many questions are being asked on
the campus of Lenoir Rhyne. Answers will be forth-
coming. The questions raised here will be answered.
We in the alumni office, through The New Lenoir
Rhyne College Magazine, through chapter meetings,
through Class Agents, through Alumni Day, through
personal correspondance, through any means at our
disposal, would like to communicate to you the true
picture of what is happening on the Lenoir Rhyne
campus. Through the same media, we would like to
get and feed back to the campus your ideas and your
convictions. We feel that this alumni publication can
be a clearing-house for ideas, that it can interpret the
campus thinking to those geographically removed, and
that this can be done in a unique and interesting way.
What do you think? What do you want? How can
dialogue between you, the alumnus, and the college
better take place?

During the course of a week in the
Freshman and Sophomore years the
honors student would expect to listen
to a lecture on Monday, use Tuesday as
a listening session, and Wednesday,
Thursday, or Friday for small discus-
sion sections.
Other work required during the
Freshman and Sophomore years would
be 10 hours of math and logic and 10
hours of science, in addition to passing
a test of proficiency in reading one
foreign language.
The Junior year would include work
in methods of research with work in
humanities, behavioral sciences, mathe-
matics, or science.
The Senior year would include a col-
loquium and studies in Christian Ethics
or equivalent (eg. modern drama or
economics).
Gitlin explained that what he had in
mind would be a pilot program which
would have its own administration and
its own financing.
On hand to hear his presentation were
Dr. Louis T. Almen and Dr. Richard J.
Petersen, representative of the Board of
College Education and Church Voca-
tions of the Lutheran Church in
America.
Asked whether a person completing
the suggested program could get into
graduate school or professional school,
Gitlin replied that he saw no problem
there.
Gitlin's ideas met with varied reac-
tion from faculty members present.
Some asked, "Why start with the
modern period first?" The answer came
that students are not oriented histori-
cally and that this approach may serve
to whet their appetite.
"Why Christian Ethics so late?" was
another question. And the reply was
that one cannot study modem art with-
out studying the values surrounding it.
This means that Christian Ethics will
be imbedded in the entire program,
Gitlin said.
Gitlin, who came to Lenoir Rhyne
in January as associate professor of
Bible and philosophy, was released from

LOYALTY FUND
SETS RECORD
The Alumni Loyalty Fund, under the leadership of Coach
Clarence Stasavich '35, has exceeded $50,000 to date (a $10,000
increase over 1967) and gifts are still coming in. The goal is
$75,000.
Class Agents and Regional Chairmen in the fall of 1967
began to interpret the story of the Loyalty Fund to alumni
through letters and personal contact.
A program of annual giving was first adopted by Lenoir
Rhyne alumni in the 1940's and shortly after the Alumni
Office was established at Lenoir Rhyne in 1949, the name of
the program was changed from Living Endowment to Loyalty
Fund.
It was not until 1961 that the Loyalty Fund came "of
age"; that year the alumni gave over $12,000, which qua-
drupled the record of any previous year. The fund has con-
tinued to grow.
The Loyalty Fund has become an important program to
Lenoir Rhyne College. In the last seven years it has provided
more than $154,000 for College use, and as costs of day-to-day
operations continue to rise, alumni will be called upon for even
greater contributions.
"Lenoir Rhyne Trustee and the administration depend on
the Loyalty Fund to help meet expenses," Coach Stasavich of
East Carolina University said in an orientation meeting for
Class Agents and Regional Chairmen. "The college especially
welcomes Loyalty Fund gifts because they are unrestricted,
and may therefore be used wherever needed most: in areas
of scholarships, faculty salaries, library additions, dormitory
additions, etc."
Hickory area alumni this year have (at the time this goes
to press) contributed nearly $25,000 to the 1968 Loyalty Fund.
O. Leonard Moretz, Hickory Chairman, beaded a group
of approximately 150 workers, who went out to tell the
Loyalty Fund Story to fellow alumni. More detail concern-
ing the work in Hickory and other areas will follow after the
June 30 closing of the 1968 Loyalty Fund. Also, a Loyalty
Fund Honor Roll will be printed and distributed at the close
of the Loyalty Fund year.
Any alumnus who has not made his gifts may still have
it included in the 1968 Loyalty Fund by mailing it to the
Alumni Office, Lenoir Rhyne College, or to his Class Agent
today.

"HERO OF THE HYPHEN"
(Cont'd)
the aforesaid board member, who was
no longer a member of the board, came
to the college and cautioned the faculty
not to write the name with the hyphen,
since as he said, the form with the
hyphen was illegal. He must have known
what he was saying, as he almost cer-
tainly was responsible for having the
name written in this absurd way which
has persisted since 1927.
I have agitated for the past 10 or 15
years for a restoration of the hyphen as
it was meant to be. However not many
of the alumni seem interested or don't
mind it that they are alumni of a college
whose administration seems not to know
how to write English. And all that I have
got out of it is that one alumnus called
me "The Hero of the Hyphen."

some of his teaching responsibihties in
order to give thought and direction to
the honors program. His approach is
toward an inter-departmental honors
program, very unHke the honors pro-
grams now set up in departments. He
explained, however, that the depart-

nated with the advent of the program he
was suggesting.

The Alumi^i| Office is gaining in

instance, utilizing the new system,
we hope to be able to direct matters
of special interest to alumni in dif-

In the change-over in systems,
