Brother LEIP DOFDE, a former H.E.L.P. student at Union from Denmark, reports that he will accompany the ajnba.sBador from Denmark to Malaysia, as a diplomatic attache. Since his country ha,s never before ha.d an embassy in MaJ..aysin., Brother Donde' B job wil.l certainly be v. challenging one. Brother Donde also mentioned (ra.ther vehemently, in fret) tha.t the Chi Taraa has been nailed to his 1958 address for all the years since then. The "v/rcng address" problem has been a recurrent one vund v/e promise that, v/ith the help of our new pledges, we will correct our taddress plates, where these chajiges have been ignored.

Garter Dard-dson has accepted the post of President of the Association of American Colleges and therefore ha.s resigned as president. Toda^y the new president's na-me was '"nrcunced. rle is Dr. Harold C. Martin, a graduate of Kartv/ick College (1937)5 he took his maister's degree at the University of llichtgan in 1942 and his doctorate in comparative literature at Har vard in 1954. He will be inaugurated this fall. In a tele phone interview, Dr. Martin stated that he was "delighted ^nd proud to be coming to Union College." may already know, But all this you \lhc.t was the student reaction? The Concordiensis editor has described the rea.ction as poor. Many coraplalned about the way the nev/s v/as promul gated (the newspapers knew before the students). Certainly it seems thai the college community should be informed be fore the general public on news such as this. The Concordy editor's implication that many students would conde'nn the new president for this fiasco vras completely unjustified, in my opinion.
