R-MC Conducts Symposium On The New Morality' Morality Involves Decisions

Rev. Donald Welch Demythologizes The New Morality

Says Playboy's An son Mount "The very concept of morality is making decisions." Mr. Anson Mount, Public Affairs Manager for Playboy Enterprises, and Religion Editor of "Playboy" magazine, emphasized this point during the Symposium on the New Morality, held at Kandolph-Macon College on March 1, 2, 3.

Mr. Mount's remarks, in both his talk and the question - and - answer period, were consistent with his stated idea that immorality is that which needlessly harms another. He pointed out that this view leaves God out of the picture.

The "Playboy" representative admitted to being down on organized religion. He claimed that "our traditional morality is goofed up," and that the Christian Church has a "sick, paranoid idea of sex."

He went on to give his interpretation of the differences in viewpoint between the older and younger generations in the Church, lie said, "the idea that the mind is good, and the body is bad, is schizophrenic." Yet this, he explained, is the position of the older generation, because they tend to condemn what they can no longer enjoy.

Meanwhile, the younger generation has discovered empirical thought. In other words, they are re-examininp the old precepts of the Church, and realizing that a rule that is generally valid may not always be so in some

situations.

Mr. Mount went on to define the moral revolution as a "transfer of power" from the organized Church to the mass media, psychiatry, and individualism. He offered an idea that human welfare and happiness is the only ultimate goal, and that whatever serves it is moral.

He pointed out, however, that it is easy to take moral freedom without responsibility - to rationalize, and that we must accept the responsibility along with our new-found freedom.

Mr. Mount accused traditional Christianity of demeaning and perverting sex. He claimed that procreation isn't its only purpose with the exclamation, "Sex is far more important than that!" He added that "it's unfortunate if it is derogated to only being fun, or to only being for procreation."

During the open forum, Mr. Mount was forced to defend the magazine he represents. One questioner accused the Playboy philosophy of appealing to man's animal instincts, while Mr. Mount had said earlier that man is more than just an animal. He responded, "There is nothing wrong with the female body being beautiful, and with our celebrating it."HeaddedthatPlayboy feels that, "Anything that promotes heterosexuality is healthy."

Student Exchange With H-SC Among Conference Topics The second Presidential Press Conference was held in the Gold Room of Lankford Building on February 26.

Dr. Willett began the program on the exchange of students between llampden-Sydney and Longwood. There are now eight girls at Hampden-Sydney taking a computer mathematics course, and two Hampden-Sydney boys taking a Literary Criticism course at Longwood. Dr. Willett said that "We're really moving in the right direction in working with the folks at HampdenSydney, using their facilities and our facilities."

In discussing general education, "the committee would like to bring more flexibility into the program."

Dr. Willett indicated that this would mean a lessening of required subjects and a greater number of electives.

Dr. Willett progressed to the much debated issue of a five-day class schedule. The fact that Mary Washington College, George Mason College, and the University of Virginia have all abolished undergraduate classes on Saturday "adds a more positive argument to eliminate Saturday classes.

However, you can't push a button and change it automatically. But every effort is being made to consider tins as soon as possible."

The next topic Dr. Willett din was a summer program to permit students to go to Europe and earn college credits. This will not be possible until the summer of 1969 at the earliest.

After discussing these preliminaries, the students began to ask questions. Concerning the $25 fin.having an illegal car on campus, Dr. Willett announced that it would be abolished at the end of this semester.

Asked about plans for future parking lots, Dr. Willett said that "the state was opposed to using tax funds. We feel that we can provide adequate parking space by uslB| funds from other sources."

When asked why economli required for elementary education ma-

jors and not for secondary majors, Dr. Willett answered that the State Board of Education set up the requirement. The State Board feels that every teacher should attempt to get the basic principles of economics across to their students.

The question was raised concerning the opening of new student teaching centers. Dr. Willett stated that this could only be done with an invitation from a school system. Distance would also be a problem.

Dr. Willett concluded the conference with: "if you have any questions, please don't feel that you have to wait until another session. . .I'm a ereat believer in communications."

There will be a suggestion box placed outside of the President's office.

Dr. James Sloan Presents Lecture In Jarman Series The Jarman Series presented Dr. James Sloan last night in Jarman Auditorium. Dr. Sloan is Chairman of the Department of History of Art and Director of the W ilium Hayes A< -kland Memorial Art Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, North Carolina. He was formerly chairman of the History of Art at Bryn Mawr College.

Dr. Sloan spoke on "David, Robespierre, and the Legend of Joseph Bara."

He gave a general picture of the relation of David, a noted painter of the French Revolutionary period, to the whole revolution. He explained how David created the myth surrounding Joseph Bara.

A Priest's View Of Change 'It's Morality, Not Immorality9 Father Paul Durbin, of St. Stephen's College, Dover, Massachusetts, delivered the second address of the symposium. Father Durbin is a specialist in the field of sexual morality and ethics.

The topic of Father Durbin's lecture was, "Is the Church Ready for New Morality?" Father Durbin was speaking on the Roman Catholic view of sexual morality. He indicated that he hoped what he said could be transferred to other religions.

Commenting on the attitude of the Church toward birth control, Father Durbin stated that the position of the Church is different than it had been.

Fifteen years ago the Church concurred that birth control was wrong.

Presently, the Church does not have a definite stand. Father Durbin asked, "Does a reversal in the one area of birth control change the issue on other fundamental moral views?" Inanswering the question, Father Durbin said

that only if this change indicated other changes, did we have a new morality.

Father seemed to suggest that this was the ca Father Durbin continued to say that there was an indication of a shift in leadership taking place. This leader(Continued on Page 2)

Rev. Donald Welch, Methodist clergyman, college lecturer, and Assistant Dean of the Duke University Divinity School, directed his talk during the Symposium to the matter of demythologizing. He enumerated seven false impressions that the public holds in regard to the new sexual morality.

First, many believe that sex is the greatest thing in life, the answer to all of man's needs. His opinion was that, "Sex only takes a few minutes - it's what you do with the rest of the day that counts." He challenged his audience by asking them, "Do you find meaning for all of your life in sex?"

Second, it's commonly thought that more people indulge in excessive sex than ever before. He claimed this to be false, and said that talking about it doesn't imply that everybody's doing it.

Third, it is not true that religion, particularly Christianity, has always been anti-sex. He pointed to the Old Testament as proof. He also explained that Church history reveals varying attitudes toward sex over the centuries.

But he admitted, "We have preached about the rules, and let the activity goon."

The fourth myth is that situation ethics is less demanding than the legalistic system. Rev. Welch claimed that situation ethics is much moredemand(Continued on Page 2)

New Morality Talk At R-MC Religion, "Playboy" Style. ..

LC Head Residents To Meet March 9 At Medical College

What is the new morality' What is its effect on college students?

According to Anson Mount of "Playboy magazine, "the Church just isn't dictating our morals anymore " Mr Mount stated that what is immoral is that which needlessly harms another person Father Paul Durbin indicated that the new morality "is a morality, not immorality ..."

Rev Donald Welch said that the new morality implied that "in this given situation, I must practice love and responsibility for my neighbor, which is a hard thing ..."

The new morality is a re-assessment of traditional values. It is an open acceptance of life The new morality seems to reject traditional Christianity, to reiect the yes and no subservience The new morality suggests a freer individual, more at liberty to establish personal values However, the new morality delegated more responsibility to the individual He is responsible for the health and welfare of all persons who come in contact with him, all persons who may be affected by any of his actions There is no place for the rationalization of wrong motives in the new society There is only room for absolute integrity The choice is up to the individual The Church is no longer a sanctuary for guilty consciences, but a piece to seek advice from educated persons It is up to the individual whether he accepts the advice or not Are we, as college students, ready to accept this responsibility?

Are we ready to make right decisions? Do we have enough love for our neighbor to support the new morality? It is our generation that must make this decision.

On March 7, the Virginia Dean and Head Residents will meet at the Medical College of Virginia. Longwood College pioneered in helping to establish the annual occurrence of these meetings throughout the state of Virginia, and a meeting was held at Longwood during the second year of its existence.

The topic for this year's meeting will be, "Some Changes in Residential Living Patterns."

The meeting will start off with a registration coffee hour at 10:30 a.m., followed by a speech or a panel discussion. Next, there will be a luncheon at which there will be reports and probably informal discussion. The meeting will be concluded by a short program, the material of which will correspond to that discussed in the morning. Among the speakers will be Dr. Charles Renneisen, Dean of Students at Richmond Professional Institute. In the afternoon, a number of students will discuss other aspects of the topic.

Letters To The Editor Dear Editor, As seniors looking back over four years at Longwood, we have seen many beneficial changes take place, both social and academic. One of the most favorable of these has been that concerning class attendance, but we feel that there is still room for improvement. Under the present system each i makes his own regulations regarding attendance in his classes, hut it doesn't take one long to realize tint it is most often those professors' lectures are uninteresting, of little worth, and/or impertinent to the course that allow few or no "cuts" at all. It would seem that a system of unlimited ruts in all classes (with the possible exception of performance classes) would serve to keep both students and professors "on their toes," for then the instructor would have to make his lectures either so interesting that the student would not want to "cut" (and this is not unusual even now with some of our faculty) or so valuable to the student generally and to the course materlal that the student would feel that she could not "cut" (this, too, is found among courses). Frankly, we resent being required to attend classes which seem to be a waste of time for student and teacher.

Another unfair practice is that of ulisiriizing quizzes for good lectures in order to make it compulsory for tudent to attend class. Quizzes are ; device! fur evaluation but not to be commended for getting the student lid class.

I it's imt IK' satisfied with a small change when unpleasant situations and illations still exist. An unlimited "cut" ■yetem would be a challenge to all and would bring greater lemlc satisfaction to the students I I Wo would like to ask the itudents, (acuity, and administration: Why don't we take another look at this situation?

£teu^»fr How ELSE Can I Make It To Class On Time??

In reference to the article about the Student Activities Building in the Rotunda, February 21 about consideration, I guess there can be different meanings to the word consideration.

Many girls at Longwood have special boy friends, pinmates, or fiances that come to see them here. It seems the girls who do not have dates could find some other place to watch television since there are 20 other televisions around campus, not counting personal ones. How many places can males be taken where there are televisions on campus? I agree that the rooms should not be abused or used for anything besides watching television, but it does seem that when dates do want to watch television, they could do so with "Longwood Ladies" showing consideration for them. Dates should try to fit in one room, but since the channels cannot be changed, if they should want to see another channel, girls should allow them to, and watch T.V. somewhere else. Sometimes if you take a date into a room where there is a group of girls, they giggle, cuss, sit improperly, or gossip - creating embarrassment and showing lack of consideration for the girl and her date.

Maybe when, and if, the complaining girls have dates, they will see and understand the difficulty in finding a nice place to take a date.

BERNARD ARESU DISCUSSES SARTRE Mr. Bernard Aresu will present a lecture in French Tuesday, March 12 at 7:30 in Room C of Lankford Building. He will discuss the principle themes in Jean-Paul Sartre's "Huis Clos" (No Exit).

Born in Algeria, Mr. Aresu received his "license-es-lettres" from the University of Montpellier. He is a faculty member of the Department of Romance Languages at the University of Virginia and he is currently specializing in English and American literature.

Rev. Donald Welch (Continued from Page 1) ing than any other code, if the total situation is considered. In effect, man must say to himself, "In this situation, I must practice love for my neighbor."

Fifth, the idea that man is capable of practicing situation ethics is unreasonable. Rev. Welch considered it too much to ask of a man, because he is not capable of judging, rationally and impartially, a situation in which he is involved.

Sixth, he denied that the Playboy philosophy is an expression of situation ethics. He defined it as a "heretical form of the ethic of self-fulfillment." This ethic demands that man be responsible for fulfilling himself in every aspect of his life. Thus, situation ethics and the ethic of self-fulfillment cannot be reconciled, for Christian love is the fulfillment of one's neighbor. He summed it up in the idea that, "My task, as a Christian, in sex is to express love, and to fulfill my neighbor, not myself."

The final myth, according to Rev. Welch, is that God made sex pleasurable in order to insure procreation. He backed this up by saying that humans have sexual desire more often than is needed for procreation.

Father Durbin (Continued from Page 1) ship determines morals and ideas of the new morality. On this basis, Father concluded that there is "no doubt at all that there is a new morality somewhere rampant in our land, and it is a morality, not immorality ..."

How did this change take place in the Church? Father said that there was a sign of a power struggle in the church, an increase in empirical attitudes. Catholics are beginning to say, "I can't accept that unless you can give me some reasons for it." This suggests that there are more changes yet to come, a restructuring of the community, and a more democratic viewpoint. The questioning layman will not obey the dictates of his priest in areas in which he thinks he knows more than the Church. The layman will follow those who demonstrate the power "to speak knowingly." In most instances, these include ex-religious and ex-seminarians who are still in the Church.

Father Durbin foresees significant changes in the Church on such issues as divorce, premarital sex, and birth control.

Don't forget to sign up on the A. A. Sportsmanship committee. We need much more emphasis in this area if we are going to have a good intramural program. Intramural games should be played for fun and relaxation and the emphasis should not be on skill. Good manners are a part of good sportsmanship - give your opponents a cheer at the end of the game and thank them individually, also thank the officials, show concern for your opponents as well as your teammates, don't call the game for the officials and don't argue with them, learn to appreciate the skill of your opponents and congratulate them when they perform well. Show your sportsmanship as well as your a Madison girl for possession of the skill, and you'll get more enjoyment and make more friends, no matter if you win or lose.

L C Varsity Basketball 2-Time Victor Over RPI Last Thursday as the L.C. Varsity Basketball teams boarded the Blue and White bus for Richmond to play against R.P.I., snow flakes were falling thickly.

Maybe it was just a coincidence, but when R.P.I, traveled to L.C. earlier in the season, they traveled under the same conditions and R.P.I.'s first team slid back home with a 54-38 victory.

This time the situation was reversed and it was L.C. that glided back with a 49-47 win.

The Longwood players came through with a beautiful team performance in a hard-fought game as the scoring lead bounced back and forth, and the game "ended" in what was thought to be a 46-44 victory for L.C. But, the official score book had the score as 45-45, so the game went into a 3 minute overtime period. Longwood knew that the final score would prob-

This Saturday L.C. Varsity Lacrosse players will travel to Westhampton College for a Regional Play Day. Lacrosse players from surrounding colleges will participate in games as well as learning and practicing skills and techniques.

Best of Luck to the Basketball Color Teams. Check the A. A. Board for a schedule of the games and come out and support your Color. Let's see some real spirit!

Miss Bush and several L.C. students attended a Fencing Clinic last Friday at Hollins College. Fencing has become very popular at Longwood already. If fencing classes continue to be taught to the student body, perhaps an intramural fencing program could be started. Hopefully this will lead Longwood into a Varsity program in the next year or two.

DR. JANE HARBAI'GH

Harbaugh Speaks On Middle East Friday. March 8 Dr. Jane Harbaugh, Professor of history and political science and chairman of the Deiartment of History, University of Chattanooga, will be a guest speaker in Jarman this Friday, March 8, 1968. Professor Harbaugh, one of a series of speakers from the University Center, will talk on the "Power Struggle in the Middle East Today."

Dr. Harbaugh earned her Ph.D. from Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy. She is a member of the Rockefeller Foundation Grantee for study at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London; the Ford Foundation, East Asian Studies, Harvard University; Director of faculty study program in Asian Affairs under a grant from the Ford Foundation for four institutions, and Secretary, Committee on Undergraduate Education, Association for Asian Studies. She is scheduled to speak at 10:00 a.m.

(Continued from Page 1) He observed that most of the people who object to "Playboy" object to the cartoons. He stated that, "Humor is pointing out the incongruities of human existence," and that if one reads a demonic meaning into their cartoons, it is a reflection on our society. He explained that it's a healthy thing to joke about something close to us, such as sex. He predicted that sex will become less funny within a few years, because it will become a less painful subject, and we have a tendency to joke about the things that are most painful to us. According to him, in the year 2000, we'll talk about sex less, and do it more.

Mr. Mount was also called upon to refute an opinion that "Playboy" depersonalizes the female. He said that his wife was his playmate, and that he believed she could be dignified, and still be a playmate. He was forced to admit, however, that she had never appeared in the magazine, but hastened to add that he would aUow his daughter to do so if she wished, when she's older.

Asked about recommendations for changes in marriage and divorce laws, he suggested that divorce be made easier and marriage more difficult.

He recommended a required counseling session before a couple would be allowed to marry.

Longwood Varsity Battles HSC Team For Heart Fund The Heart Fund basketball game will be held on Tuesday night, March 12, at 8:00 in the Armory. The admission will be $1.00 for adults and 50? for children which will be donated to the Heart Fund.

The game is between the intramural champions from Hampden-Sydney, and the Longwood girls' first string varsity team. They will be playing by girls rules which are not as rough as those used by the more rugged boys.

However, the Longwood Physical Education staff has gone on record against the playing of the game. Their point is that basketball is a contact sport, and since boys are naturally stronger than girls there is a certain amount of apprehension as to the possibility of injury to the girls. But the final decision was left to the girls, who decided to play.

To add a lighter note, they observed a rather humorous conncection between Longwood - Heart Fund - Ham.-Syd. girls vs. boys?

So everyone gather your pennies and your friends and march on over to the Armory, Tuesday night to see a great game and support a most worthy cause.

The Longwood Choir, under the direction of Dr. John W. Molnar, will perform Porpora's "Magnificat." This was written for a girls' chorus of one of the orphanages in Venice famous for their music. Porpora, who was the music director of the school, was one of Haydn's voice teachers. The soloists for the number will be Jeannie Powell and Tulita Owen, sopranos, and Jacqueline White, alto. Mr. Paul Hesselink, of the music faculty, will play the organ accompaniment.

The University of Richmond Glee Club, directed by Mr. James Erb, the chairman of the music department of the University, will sing a group of numbers, made up of "We Be Three Poor Mariners," and "We Be Soldiers Three," by Ravenscroft; Po' 01'Lazarus," arr. Work; "John Henry," arr.

Brookhart; "Jerry," arr. de Paur; "Green grow the Rashes, O," arr.

Shaw-Parker, and "The Old Woman,"

by Roberton.

The two choruses will then combine for the major work on the program, the "Mass in D Minor" by Joseph Haydn, known as the "Lord Nelson" Mass. Helen Ford, soprano, and Ann Fleshman, alto, will be the soloists, and Laura Clark will play the piano accompaniment.

The program will be repeated at the University of Richmond on Sunday, March 17.

Don't forget the Wesley Coffee House, March 9, 7:30-11:30.
