The architectural influence fou‘nd in, these buildings, as in many oi the 5.0M. works, is that of the Bauhaus or interna— ional style. It was developed in he post—World War 1 period in Germany at Bauhaus and car. ried during World War II to ainoridgc by Walter cropius, The primary interest 'at Bau- iaus was to torce -the architect o work with both artists and ndusti-ial designers. This results d;in a more frank use of mar terials in the most functional vay possible. ‘ln these new buildings one will notice the absence ot any ttcmpt to hide the materials. id in fact they have been used the architecture in such a vay as to become an integral art of the bu'ilding’s beauty. ‘ The long concrete beams of Roberts theatre might be said to be analagous to the frills and intricate carving of gates tower. Byen the choice of color of the brick was to give the work a sense oi lightness; the exception to this is Nor— ris hall, where the use of red ibrarians Attend Meeiing.

The intricacy of the Gates tower was very expensive forty years ago when these buildings were built; today it is three to six times more expen» siye. By not forcing the architect‘ to conform to a pattern oi architecture sci, by previous generations, the college pl‘ovldr cd for buildings growing from the spirit of the age and dis- tinctive in their beauty and original design. This also per. mitted greatest functional use of college funds and ‘space. These new buildings have been constructed in vieiv oi the total deyelopment or the Grinnell physical plant as ea- visioned by the administra- tion, it is their desire to make the atmosphere as pleasant as possible using all . available space in the most tunctional manner, which is an impor- tant characteristic oi the in ternational styles.

One of the most marked sta- tistieal shifts is found in the college attrition rate. The cur- rent year saw only an eight per cent attrition compared to 14 per cent last year and 20-25 per cent in previous years. The most popular department for this year’s graduating class is sociology, which has the most senior majors. History, biology, Englis, political science and psychology are'the other top departments on the basis of sen- ior- enrollment. BA Congratulations . SENIORS. GRINNELL STATE NK MEMBER F.
