Starting at quar terback for the Little Giants is sophomore southpaw Don Van Deursen. Don is sort of a Mr. Everything, for in the first three games, besides throwing for one touchdown, and running for three more, Don has kicked all tire extra points. One of his favorite receivers is split end and co-captain Da\c Sliane. Freshmen fullback Doug Ward and center Mike Merrick have also seen action on the offensive unit. Bolstering the Big Red defense is small (■5'6", 160) Tom Freeman, a three year letterman in the defensive secondary. Be sides pass defense, "Shorty" is one of Coach Urick's key punt return men. Backing up these front liners are returning veterans Cliarley German at quarterback and Pete Grills, now a converted center. Waiting on the sidelines for their chance are several freshman Phi Gams who will be heard from in the vears to come. Soccer finds itself, even with the loss of graduating high scorer Tim Craig, well stocked with the skills of veterans Novemdeb, 1969 Garv Wolf and Stex e Judah, along with freshman Da\c Moody. Cross-country at Wabash has definitely taken on a brighter outlook with the addi tion of freshman Ray White. Ray, a fine runner in high school, has continued his successful ways, finishing consistently as third man for Wabash in the meets so far this season. So, all in all the Fijis are well repre sented in the ranks of Little Giant fall sports. radicalism. The harder I tried to organize a concise picture for Brother Van Auken, the more I realized how great a diversity in social attitudes the school really has. The Young Republicans and the Sphinx Club, for example, are as strong as e\er, each showing in its own way that the conservatism and traditionalism which ha\c long identi fied Wabash are by no means dead. Most Wabash students still want to have good football and basketball teams, and Dean Moore sticks to his pipe, bow tie and ivy league hat. Three fourths of the freshmen still pledge fraternities, many of the students are still groveling to get into good grad schools, and the academic community still relies mostly on alcohol as a means of getting high. At the same time, even though Wabash has not been torn by x-iolence like man)colleges and universities, elements of student radicalism are unmistakably present. Within the last several years, the Senior Council was replaced with the Student Senate, most of tile rhync niles were eliminated, and a modest student protest created student scats on the Academic Policy Committee. A Black Students' Union has formed, complete with its own living unit, and at the same time the fraternit)' system is slowly integrating. Allen Ginzberg, "the co-author of the beat generation," was received last spring with standing room only. Wabash participated in the Vietnam Moratorium, October I5th, and a large group of Wabash students is currently petitioning the Governor for a vigorous im estigation of the "Pendlcton Massacre" of a prison inmate in late September. Long hair and hippie clothes have become commonplace. Wabash is changing to accommodate a greater diversit)- of outlook, and that is good, since this diversity will encourage a greater awareness on the part of cveiqone. We are no longer doggedly traditional like the "old" Wabash, nor are we completely freaked out, like Antioch College, for example. At the same time, however, we have thus far avoided tlie sharp bisection into hippie and straight elements which plagues institutions like Kalamazoo College in Michigan. What we have, I believe, is a fortunate combination of close community and broad variety of social attitudes, which allows each person to do his own thing and remain at the same time exposed to the views of otliers. This condition is essential for a liberal arts education, and the effective blending which we have toda\of traditional and radical people has done a great deal to promote such an environment. What happens to this healthy balance remains to be seen. Though our traditional \alues lack the ideological appeal of some of the more radical x'iewpoints, they have stood the test of time, and may remain standing when much of the new atmosphere has disappeared. But "the new" has already made some rather permanent impacts, and if its influence continues to grow on other campuses across the nation, Wabash will not be ex cepted. In whatever direction Wabash mo\es in the future, it is important that she consciouslv preserve both the closeness of community and the variety of outlook which she has achieved. If Wabash keeps this goal in mind as she absorbs changes from without, these changes can do little but strengthen her within. PERGE! Gordon B. Dempse) Psi Athletes take Spring Honors There can be no doubt that the Fiji con tingent of tlie Little Giant spring sports ef fort put out a great deal for the benefit of the school and themselves. Why? The impressixe list of letters, numerals, and other special axx'ards tells most of the storv. On the haseball field, Psi xvas xvcll repre sented xvith three letter xvinners and a numeral.
