Plans will also be made for a new union, swimming pool, wo—I men‘s gymnasium, field house and related structures. Bowen: added, ”I believe that increased, recreation and physical activity is very important at Grinnell. We all lead busy, and on the whole sedentary lives, and we need the :release and change of pace that can be achieved, through physical activity." Another forthcoming de- velopment at Grinnell con- cerns the fine arts. in conjunc— tion with the completion of the Fine Arts building, next year will see a special em- phasis on the arts, an in- creased number of concerts, recitals, plays, lectures, ex- hibits and other events. Bowen said, “The purpose of this building is not only to ims‘ prove our work in the arts for‘ those students who major in these fields, but to bring the arts increasingly into the lives and consciousness of our entire student body." Grinnell, ‘Bawsn continued, “has been making travel grants, for graduates of the college tol spend a year of service in an. underdeveloped country. We have our own Youth Corps which has anticipated President Kennedy’s Youth Corps," How- ever since the federal governs ment has set up its own prq—, gram, Grinnell’s will probably be discontinued. Students ln-l terestcd in service abroad are‘ advised to apply to the federal program. Dr. Bowen concluded his re~. marks by saying that “much of our progress has been due to the student body which has re—i ponded remarkably to the op- portunities available here.

John Ru- vaids, number one man from last season, returns along with other lcttermen Joel Prescott and Roger Sternberg. The latter is out at the present time with a knee in- jury, but he is expected to return to action shortly. Perhaps the grealest interest lies in this years sophomore group. Last year's undetected freshmen squad sends Guy Ash- ton, li-a Keeshin and Jim Smith, Coach Bowers rates Ashton as one of the finest prospects he has ever seen. The consensus seems to be that, Ashtan will immediately step into the num- ber one position. Other players expected to add depth to the team are Bob Bram— son, Tom Cook, Chip Salmon, Bill Plan. and Dick Andersan, The sirength of the rest. of the Conference is unknown, but Bowers believes that. this year's squad will Tank with Grimeli’s lfmest and can easily be rated as one of the favorites for the Con- ference crown.
