What the story did not go on to clairify is that there never has been, nor is tllere presently, a Grinnell chapter of the Fair Play for Cuba committee. We are getting sick of trying to convince the world that though Grinnell students were interested in all sides of the Cuban question, the position of the committee Tum rinnlz roul shrnucl mini Gruenewuld, 0mg Henderson . Sue Fox, binns Connelly Msny Cooper Jnnn bcllrnnn Ion Lnrson non Turner Jim Harrington Judy chcsr snsnn coon JudiLl-l Hnnd was one with which even sympathetic Grinnellians couldl not completely agree. ' The sub-head “Group at Grinnell” is either so am- biguous as to be misleading or an out and out misrepre- sentation of fact. How many times must we clarify our position? The Davis-McManus Leller Just before the American Revolution several “faith- less” colonial malcontents, disagreeing with English foreign policy, wrote the Declaration of Independence It was not much later that groups of sockless, unshaven, hairy men fought for such things as Hunt Davis’s and Craig Mc- Manlls’s light to write letters such as the one which ap- peared in this week’s Des Moines Register. They laughed at long-haired Einstein, and Stevenson was called an egg-head because he couldn’t find time to have his shoes repaired. Messers Davis and McManus's letter is certainly not unprecedented in the good ole’ safe conformist tradition. As much as we may resent one group’s attempting to represent themselves as all of Grinnnell College, we likewise deeply resent the Davis—McManus use of “all Grinnell" figures that are as unverifiable as their im- plied definition of ”beat." Before the gentlemen from Smith go on another letter»writing binge we would suggest that they remem- ber that they represent a school purporting the so—callefl liberal posture. In this light, the sort of narrow-minded ness which their letter reflected is p llblicity of a far more, detrimental sort than anything which has come out of that group of “belittlers of foreign policy." To the editor: John Kennedy disagrees wilh the foreign, economic and so. cial policies of the Eisenhower administrations. Stevenson, Rusk and Bowles disagree with lhc present administration’s policy on Cuba. Richard Nixon is presently acting as the cons science of the Democratic party The naivete of the purpose of critical dissent apparenl in some of our students surprises me. Primarily, lhis action creates an awareness of a problem. The state, whether il is local. state or nolional, is nol 2n infallible ‘ cnlily. 1f lhc southern Negro had continued lo accept the Local state's policy of segregation and refused in dissent. the moral posilivc good of the sit.ins would have never oc- curred. The dissenter is the con— scicncc of lhe state and society and, in being such. insures the existence of this elementary right of the individual in a de- mocracy. The basic difference between our democracy and the totalitar— ian state is lhc right of the minorily to exist, and if neces- sary, lo disagree wilh lhc pow. ers which govern them. If we condemn lhis right. we arc no 'better than lhis political idc. ology we so steadfastly oppose. I would hope that we do not fall into the false sccurily of conformity with the belief lhal our government’s policies principles are infallible.

Even forgetting the benefit which the college can derive 3 later years from class organiza tion, I believe that the class a a group has a place on campus Classes are the only which offer a complete cross sec ion as well as being the onl groups with somewhat perman ent membership.
