News Briefs
On Tuesday Feb. 16, at 8:00 P.M. Mercerians will be presented with evidence of some major
developments in grand opera history when the Goldovsky Grand Opera Theater’s touring produc
tion of Verdi's “La Traviata” comes to the Willingham Chapel here. For the Goldovsky Grand
Opera Theater is the organization that has been hailed cromcountry as "a refreshing new breath
of life in the operatic world”, and “the white hope of the lyric art in America”.
During fourteen national touring seasons, Goldovsky and his company including orchestra,
soloists and chorus have been successfully demonstrating that operatic masterworks can be valid
and absorbing theatre rather than mere displays of vocal pyrotechnics, that the texts can be in
telligently translated into English and intelligibly presented by performers who have been school
ed in drama as well as in voice.

Dear Mr. Editor,
The Mercer Cluster of
February 3, 1970 carried an
odious, obnoxious, and
obviously poorly informed
and poorly reasoned account
of the Black Studies Program
that has been adopted here at
Mercer. The author of the
article should apologize at
once to Mr. Rocky Wade for
having had the audacity to
sign that gentleman’s name to
such a worthless piece of
journalistic trash.
Sincerely,
Larry Finkelstein

Dear Mr. Editor,
Recently the R.O.T.C. pro
gram has come under heavy
attack by intellectuals who
claim to>be “military ex
perts". As a student with five
years of R.O.T.C. training, 1
do not claim to be a military
expert, but I do have some
idea of the true value of
R.O.T.C.
Leadership is perhaps the
greatest quality a man can
possess. R.O.T.C. offers those
who want to be more than
followers a chance to become
leaders. As a leader, an In
dividual is faced with many
responsibilities to himself and
those under his command.
The responsibility of other
people helps the R.O.T.C.
cadet to mature since a person
must have control over him
self before he can control
others. From my own ex
perience as a company com
mander in high school, I can
confidently say that the re
sponsibilities I had helped me
become more responsible to
my school and community.
Thus, the leadership found in
R.O.T.C. does not stop In the
military department Once an
individual acquires some
leadership ability, be can use
it In other school organiza
tions as well as the communi
ty
Leadership is perhaps the
one factor that determines
whether a man is or is not a
man. It is the all important
element that determines
whether an unit can or can
not operate effectively.
Leadership is not found in
everyone; it is there for the
people interested in accepting
responsibility and doing some
thing with it. If anyone
doubts my reasoning, ask any
businessman if he is interested
in employing leaders or fol
lowers.
Of my five years In
R.O.T.C. perhaps the greatest
value I have received was
discipline. R.O.T.C. teaches
respect for others as well as
yourself. It certainly teaches
one to be respectful in the
way one acts and appears in
public. What is so wrong with
having shined shoes, a clean
uniform, shorter hair, and a
shavened face? In requiring
this the Army is merely look
ing out for you. (Besides
barbers and the cleaners need
to make money just like ua) I
dare say that the critics of
R.O.T.C. would appreciate
clean clothing, shined shoes,
and shorter hair if they were
on the battlefield. Critics of
these simple requirements are
only showing their lack of
self-discipline.
As I have already stated,
R.O.T.C. teaches respect for
others. Respect for ladies is a
good example in that the
military stresses that a cadet
tip his hat when approaching
a lady, open the door for her,
and help her when seating.
R.O.T.C. certainly stresses
respect for the appearance of
the cadet. It definitely teaches
respect for our nation and her
flag. This program instills re
spect between the members in
the program in that it takes
every Individual to make the *
program work. Each person
helps one another to insure
that the program runs success
fully.
R.O.T.C. gives an individual
much recognition. Having
applied leadership effectively,
an R.O.T.C. cadet can quickly
find respect from his fellow
officers and the men under bis
command. Hit self-disc Ip line
helps him mature completely
and fully. Perhaps more
important, the R.O.T.C. cadet
has proven to himself that he
can take any situation and
deal with It The R.O.T.C.
cadet has much concern for
his nation and her programs.
