Incoming freshmen may have
something to look forward to next
year.
A new version o f the core cur­
riculum was decided by faculty
vote on Monday, January 31. Cur­
rent students will have the choice to
graduate under the core that was in
place when they entered college, or
to graduate under a new core if
they can fulfill its requirements.
“ T he new proposal is based
on what was good in the old core,”
said Dr. C liff Foreman, chair o f the
curriculum committee. “ It’s not a
complete revamping; it’s sort o f an
adjustment.”
Courses such as Speech, Global
Trends, C H O W Art & Music, and
the Intercultural Experience have
been eliminated from the core,
though they will still be offered and
will satisfy new distribution require­
ments.
New distribution requirements
in fine arts and non-Western cul­
ture have been established, and the
humanities requirement has been
replaced with one for literature and
philosophy.
■ Certain classes will be designat­
ed with “ D,” “ S,” and “ W ” prefixes
and altered to meet the criteria for
each letter. “ D ” courses will involve
significant exposure to cultural di­
versity, while “ S” and “ W ” courses
will introduce students to speaking
and writing standards within their
discipline by requiring an oral pre­
sentation or scholarly writing in
class.
C H O W will be revamped to
maintain a better focus on the his­
tory behind the ideas it covers, and

larly among faculty and alumni.
Anderson insists that extra regu­
lation is essential for the school’s
well-being.
“ Part o f the audit revealed lack
o f control and accountability,” he
said. “Accountability is just good
business practice and extremely
biblical. It sends me that people
don’t realize that.”
Some students blamed Ander­
son for the controversial housing
policies last year, in which upper­
classmen were threatened with be­
ing supplanted by incoming fresh-
men in the dormitories. But he
actually had little to do with it.
“ I was not involved at all un­
til the eleventh hour,” he said. “ I
trusted Scott Raym ond and his
team. It seems to be okay now.”
The recent resignations o f Dean
o f Students Scott Raym ond and
men’s soccer coach Brian Cross­
man implied dissension among
the upper echelons regarding aca­
demic, athletic, and disciplinary
philosophy. All the particulars o f
these events were not publicized,

but opinions vary throughout the
community.
“ H e’s been really good with
this transition from Raym ond,”
said Director o f Student Life Jason
W ood. “ He started coming to stu­
dent development staff meetings,
and he’s been reading up on books
about residence life, the same stuff
we’ve been studying.”
According to English Professor
Cliff Foreman, the effect has been

negative. “ I don’t know enough
about each situation to be emphat­
ic, but judging from the number o f
resignations we’ve witnessed, the
style o f leadership used by Enroll­
ment Management seems to have
been far from collegial,” he said.
“And that has hurt the school more
than it has helped it.”
Foreman’s assessment is not
necessarily indicative o f the facul­
ty’s view o f Anderson, but Cross­
man’s resignation stirred up activ­
ity among the professors.
“ T he faculty steering comm it­
tee has asked the status committee
to explore the circumstances sur­
rounding the resignation o f Pro­
fessor Crossman as men’s soccer
coach,” said Faculty Moderator
Stephen Kaufmann.

Dean o f Humanities Paul M or­
ton declined to comm ent when
asked about the faculty’s relation­
ship with Anderson.
Anderson steadily defends his
side o f the story. He insists that the
money saved by regulating athletic
scholarships, a practice disagree­
able to Crossman, would benefit
the school in the long run. “ There’s
a misconception that we have en­
dowed scholarships,” he said. “ I
would love to work at an institu­
tion that had a lot o f money, but
we just don’t have it.” H e pointed
out that the faculty received a 1.5
percent pay raise last year because
o f increased control.
Because o f such controversies,
some alumni have threatened to
stop donating money to the school,
citing a loss o f institutional m em o­
ry, among other things. Anderson is
not worried.
“ T he facts would show that we
have just as many people saying
they’re going to give again because
w e’re getting back to what Cov­
enant used to be like,” he said. “ I
think the push is to go back to the
firm, sure foundation o f this school,
rather than the other direction.”
There is no doubt that both
enrollment and admissions have
improved since Anderson’s arrival.
Last fall Covenant received its larg­
est entering class at 308 students.
Liz Crusey, a Regional Director
o f Admissions, credits Anderson
with the transition to the Banner
system and more attention to detail
with prospective students. “ Now 95
percent o f visitors tour the campus
with regional directors from their
particular region,” she said.
Anderson is worried more
about retention than admissions,
however. Last year the retention
rate in the freshman class was the
lowest ever at 70 percent.
One policy he hopes to change
is the rule against coed dancing. He
wants to free students to dance any­
where except on the dorms, with
minimal supervision.
As the “ person who sits in the
chair,” though, these changes have
not com e without mistakes that
Anderson readily admits.
“ I have handled a lot o f things
badly,” he said. “ I’m too intuitive.
At meetings, I’ll think we have a
consensus and everyone agrees, but
later I realize that they don’t under­
stand it because I’m bad at explain­
ing things.”
“ T he people that have ever
worked for him closely just love
him,” Mrs. Anderson said. “ But he
seems to be an agent o f bringing
about change. That’s the way G od
uses him.”

Letters to the Editor
In defense of
Dr. King and
a humbler
historiography
I am puzzled by Iwan Baamann’s article, “ Dr. King’s C on ­
version?” in the February 2 issue.
His report about King arose from
a recent chapel talk by Charles
Marsh, professor at UVA and au­
thor o f several books on faith in the
civil rights movement o f the 1950s
and 1960s. It wasn’t clear whether
Baamann had read or was basing
his report on anything further by or
about King.
T he report, in sum, encourages
readers to cultivate doubts about
the authenticity o f Martin Luther
King, Jr.’s Christian faith.
First, I’m not sure if I am sup­
posed to read the article as a piece
o f actual journalistic investiga­
tion or as an editorial. I can only
hope the latter, in which case the
Bagpipe staff should take care to
label it “ commentary” or “ opin­
ion.” If the former, then I have
serious questions about how we go
about “ reporting” news. Further,
I’m simply depressed by the state
o f campus discourse on social and
moral issues.
Is the genuineness o f King’s
conversion really the only ques­
tion this community can muster
in response to Marsh’s books and
lectures? And why is it a relevant
or primary concern for us today?
Baamann never says. But one may
justly wonder if his article fits some­
where in the long and tired heri­
tage o f white, southern, Protestant
efforts to discredit the mission o f
the civil rights movement by rais­
ing doubts about the credibility o f
its leaders and supporters. In other
words, perhaps we should conclude
that if King was sub-Christian in
his own life, then we needn’t con­
cern ourselves with his larger mes­
sage.
Second, I am bewildered that
Baamann takes it for granted that
reading and judging the status
o f another person’s salvation is a
plausibly legitimate aspiration for
the Christian. Wasn’t it this very
Pharisaical attitude that Jesus cau­
tioned against in his Sermon on the
Mount?
Ironically, the criteria Jesus pro­
vides for evaluating discipleship
should cause most o f us to shudder,
especially if our lives are compared
to that o f King’s. “ By their fruit
you will recognize them” (Matt
7:16). “ Blessed are those who are
persecuted because o f righteous­
ness, for theirs is the kingdom o f
heaven. Blessed are you when peo­
ple insult you, persecute you and
falsely say all kinds o f evil against
you because o f me” (Matt 5:10-11).
“ I tell you the truth, whatever you
did not do for one o f the least o f
these, you did not do for me” (Matt
25:45).
A nd finally, I would challenge
Baamann’s claim that judging the
authenticity o f a believer’s con­
version represents a valid task o f
Christian historiography.
In his “ History o f Christianity
in the United States and Canada,’'
the renowned evangelical historian
Mark Noll evaluates the individuals
and groups in his text by employing
what he calls “ a charitable benefit
o f the doubt.” In other words, “ if
historical figures and groups call
themselves ‘Christian,’ they should
be treated that way in a textbook
history o f Christianity.” In this,
Noll does not mean to affirm blind­
ly the beliefs and practices o f all
persons who call themselves Chris­
tians, nor to diminish the right o f
church traditions to exercise “ qual­
ity control.” “ But on the question
o f who counts as a ‘real Christian,” ’
he writes, “ a historian may be ex­
cused for exercising a judgment o f
for me to feel sheepish about call­
ing King a Christian believer. And
even if I did feel sheepish, I don’t
believe I have the ability or the au­
thority to begin writing people out
o f the Kingdom.
I pray that, in the face o f his­
tory’s complexities, our community
might bear the marks o f charity
and humility rather than judgment,
and that G od ’s spirit might tilt our
hearts toward repentance rather
than self-assurance.

Hello, folks! G ood to see ev­
erybody again.
A recent headline in Ananova:
“A Slovak man trapped in his car
under an avalanche freed himself
by drinking 60 bottles o f beer and
urinating on the snow to melt it.”
It’s nice to know that human inge­
nuity is as high as ever, isn’t it?
The N C A A has asked the Uni­
versity o f North Carolina at Pem­
broke, a school that was founded
specifically for the purpose o f
educating American Indians, to
change its name from the Braves
to something more politically cor­
rect. Is this political correctness
madness or what? Why don’t
we just ask Notre Dame to drop
the name Fighting Irish because
it offends the Irish Republican
Army?
According to the studies o f a
psychologist at the University o f
Wales, Jan. 24 is the most depress­
ing day o f the year. What a great
contribution to mankind, huh?
This guy probably has friends
who are trying to figure out a
cure for Alzheimer’s, and here he
is in the pub, telling people he’s
trying to figure out the best day to
gorge yourself on ice-cream and
chocolate.
In other news, D on King has
filed a $2.5 billion lawsuit against
ESPN for defamation, which re­
ally makes a lot o f sense, because
who knows more about what it
means to defame someone than
the biggest boxing promoter in
the world. I f I’m on the jury, I’m
thinking, “ This guy has defamed
so many people, if he’s saying
he’s been defamed, he’s probably
right.”
I f you thought California
was wacko before, wait until you
read this. T he city o f Berkeley
has recendy started a program o f
deep freezing abandoned shop­
ping carts and other belongings
o f homeless people for up to 90
days in a huge refrigerated con ­
tainer, because o f a state law that
requires the storage o f lost goods.
The program costs thousands o f
dollars annually, and is paid for
by tax-payer dollars. Moreover,
homeless people rarely retrieve
items, and shopping carts are al­
most always stolen items, not lost
items, a fact o f which Berkeley
city officials are well aware.
All o f this to say, when you
think about what’s going on
in Berkeley, having the star o f
Conan the Barbarian as gover­
nor o f California doesn’t seem
that strange after all.
You’ve been a great audience.
