At Annual Freshman Assembly JTlLlllipS
Milton L. Lindholm '35 officially welcomed 281 members
of the Class of 1963 at the Freshmen-Parents Assembly held
last Saturday evening in the Alumni Gymnasium. Mr. Lindholm, acting as master of ceremonies, introduced the highlight speaker for the evening,
President Charles F. Phillips.
Phillips emphasized that both
the individual and a nation must
earn their right to freedom by
the practice of self-discipline.
Addressing the freshman class,
Phillips stated "most of you
in this freshman class will have
far more freedom than you have
ever before experienced. Away
from your home community and
your parents, you will be free to
decide when to study and when
not to study, to determine your
standard of personal conduct, and |
to select your own friends."

A Message To The Freshmen
Last Saturday evening I had the privilege of welcoming
you to the campus. Since then you have found yourself occupied with the many essential activities of Freshman Week.
From here on, however, a steady diet of classes is on your
schedule.
As you face your first college classes, may I emphasize
again that what each of you will get out of college is basically your own responsibility. A college education cannot be
given to you by the faculty; it must be earned through your
own self-activity.
Bates College, through its faculty, library, curriculum,
plant and equipment, and scholarships, offers you the opportunity for a liberal education. Now it's your move!

Sees|Need For Increased
Studies Of Eastern Culture
Dr. Charles F. Phillips, President of Bates College spoke before the student body this morning in chapel at the Convocation
marking the beginning of the
new college year, at which time
he urged a major revision in curriculum to include Eastern culture.
Phillips stated that ignorance
of Eastern civilization and culture on the part of today's college students is the result of a
serious shortening in the typical
college curriculum in the United States. "Any impartial observer of'the typical college curriculum must conclude that it is
based mainly on the knowledge
and wisdom of Western civilization."
East Outnumbers West
"As a result," continued Dr.
Phillips, "today's college student
does not obtain an understanding
of the religion and philosophy,
politics and economics, art and
culture, aims and aspirations of
Eastern countries.-'
President
Phillips emphasized the fact that
far more people live under Eastern culture than under that of
the West, outnumbering the West
by more than 21&-1.
He further stated that daily
headlines emphasize much of the
rising significance of a knowl-
edge of Eastern countries. "What
goes on today in England,
France, Germany, and Italy is
important to us; but many of the
headlines which are vital in today's world tell of the East — the
rising tide of Communism in India, the formation of Communes
in Red China, and the liquidation
of friends of the West in Tibet,"
continued the president.
Suggests Revisions
Dr. Phillips suggested two approaches to a revision of the college curriculum: first, changes in
present courses to include Eastern civilization and culture; and
second, the development of new
courses, to be taken by all students, which will aim at an overall appreciation of the East.
••Each day finds the United
States playing a more important
role in world affairs," concluded
the president. "We will not play
that role well, if, in a world'in
which the overwhelming number
of the people are born, live and
die under the culture of. the
East, we continue to devote practically all of our efforts to an
understanding of the culture of
the West. The next world is already on its way. College education in the United States faces
the urgent task of getting ready
for it."
Bertocci Outlines Stu-C's
Program For 1959-1960
To the Men's Assembly:
The Men's Student Council
joins me in welcoming back all
returning men and in giving a
special welcome to the new
class, wishing all a happy and
fruitful year at Bates. I would
like to take this opportunity to
devote some space to a brief explanation of the Student Council
primarily for the new members
of the Assembly.
The main function of the Student Council is to represent the
Men's Assembly in its relationship to the campus community as
a whole. More than this, it is to
lead the men in their attempt to
live as responsible campus citizens in the campus situation.
The Council is elected annually and consists of ten voting
members (four seniors, three
juniors, two sophomores, one
freshman to be elected early in
the year, and one non-voting offcampus representative). The
Council maintains six standing
committees and its members
serve on eight campus-wide
committees. Meetings are normally held every Wednesday
evening at 6:30 and all are open
to the Assembly except disciplinary meetings.
Appoints Dorm Proctors
Dormitory proctors are appointed by and are responsible
to the Council. They act as junior administrators in the dormitories and meet with the Council at least once a month.
The Council has many and
varied regulatory functions. It is
responsible for the conduct of all
male students and may initiate
disciplinary action when necessary. The standard process is for
a Council hearing regarding any
violation of school policy followed by a recommendation to
the Faculty Disciplinary Committee. Freshman Rules are also
written and enforced by the
Council.
The Council has many service
functions. As freshmen you are

THE BATES STUDENT, SEPTEMBER 24, 1959
Bates Outing Club Offers
Many Outdoor Activities
'
By JOHN LAWTON
The main concern of the Bates
Christian Association is to provide channels through which the
individual student may seek and
find expression for a maturing
religious philosophy.
A program which will bring to
our campus some of the nation's
outstanding religious leaders —
men such as Dr. Samuel Miller,
Dean-elect of Harvard Divinity
School — provides such an opportunity. These Sunday evening
programs, kept within the context of a non-sectarian religious
service, will include informal
discussion sessions where students can even "dig deeper" in
their "ultimate concern".
Adds To Total Picture
All Bates studentE are members of the CA and contribute a
dollar and a half each semester
to its budget. For this reason the
CA is interested in adding as
much of value as possible to the
tdtal campus picture.
The CA functions through officers elected by the student body
and a Cabinet of about fifteen
members. Many others participate actively on committees and
commissions.
In addition to the Religion-InLife Series one will find that the
CA provides several other services for the campus — special
films shown on weekends, a hi-fi
listening room and a long list of
things well described within the
pages of the CA handbook. This
handbook was just recently revised to be made more informative and interesting and the importance of reading it can not be
emphasized too much.
Makes Personal Contacts
In its most recent functions the
CA has made an attempt to make
the class of '63 feel at home
through the personal contacts of
its cabinet members and officers;
a large portion of the "Commons
Crew" during Orientation Week
has been made up of the CA. The
IMUR Party and the Sunday evening discussions in the men's
dorms were organized and sponsored by the CA cabinet. The
traditional Stanton Ride, to be
held Saturday, is jointly sponsored by the CA and the Outing
Club.
Also important among the CA

cater to the smartly dressed Bates Girls . . . and
to the fashion-minded women of Central Maine.
Today your fall wardrobe must be quite
complete. Tomorrow, if you find that you
need another skirt; a pair of knee-hi's or
tights; another slip or sweater; or a
dress for a special date, we'll be more
than happy to show you our beautiful
selections . ..
