SCARLET AND BLACK l ‘lcleas good bui ,ialk required To the Editor: , Last week's letter from “A {Concerned Student" was meant l1 am sure, “not as fully-develop i led proposals ready for immediatel adoption, but as a basis for dis. cussion of what We must all feel are problems.” For although the general ideas are very good, con» siderable comment is called for. This Concerned student cites at length the case of a student who received “A‘s" from an outstanding high school, “700‘s" on College Boards, and “D’s” at Grinnell College. His con- clusion is “that the professors involvcd in such cases are . without proper interest and/or education to stimulate and v challenge the “Ibo-plus hoard I score studen ." In passing I - should like to substitute «abil- ity" for “education" in (his conclusion, for I think that there is no member of this , faculty who lacks “propel- odu— ) Cation,” although it is probable that some members of any fac- ulty have the interest but lack the ability to do this “Why should an ‘A’ student GrinneIIY”? He should not. i would assert further that he could not, except by his own deal ing. Grinnell has enough mien, esting and able faculty mem- bers that such a capable stur dent could not consistently get‘ poor grades unless he refused to be interested and refused to be taught, This student obviously, not "stimulated," even though he must have had some‘ But he, . is the Concerned Student, that i .to participate in an evaluation Friday. December l4, I962 Lei-fers if) file Edi’ror . there is no student at Grinnell ; who could not add to the list, i as I have done in the previous paragraph Every student at . Crinnell is acutely aware, as be is paying a tremendous amount of money in hopes of receiving a first—rate liberal arts education. For these rea- sons I am certain that every i Grinnell student would wel- : come with open arms an op- portunity to evaluate courses and teachers, as the Concerned . student suggests, WITHOUT THE msx OF BEING Clulm- i FIE!) which this lone brave individual has taken, now that not all stu— ism would be sound, that there would be unjustly bitter students (like the one dis-, cussed at the beginning of this: letter) who would be unfair to teachers, and a portion of the, student body would not bother’ even if it were in favor of the idea. HOWEVER, the Board of Trustees, or some appropriate non-faculty committee, would be- able to separate the sound from the unsound, the unbiased from the sour-grapes, and, even with. out total participation, the prev— alent from the unusual criticism. Furthermore, there would be constructive criticism and praise of both curriculum and faculty,, for Grinncll students, in their quest for a good education, will be quick to encourage the good aspects of the Grinnell education, if they are given a chance. To the end that the students be given such a chance to help make Grinnell's education a bet-, tar one, I urgently implore all these students to take to heart Readers answer ‘C‘oncerned To the Editor: After having read the liter. ary effort of “A Concerned Student," (in the Dec. 7 soon), we agree with that humanities professor who said that he “looks for too many angles." 1T 15 TRUE that nearly cv- eryone has legitimate gripes about “intro” courses and hu— manities, or about a few pro- fessors in his first two years. lBut why condemn the whole lfaculty to the ninth circle of ban for the “sins” of a few professors? We also disagree with “Cou- cernerl’s“ r e commendations. We do not think that the stu- dents in general—and “Con- cerned" in particular are qual- ified to determine such a serious matter as a profes- sor’s salary. "Concerned" also asks that professors “do research on their ow n time." Each professor teaches about three courses, for which he must grade papers and exams, prepare lectures or at least guidelines for discus- sion, and read every bit as much as the students, simply in the pmcess of teaching his course, Also, he will probably have committee and faculty meets ings, give extra lectures, and have conferences or discus- sions with students now much time are professors ex— pected to give us? At the risk of being called members of the “mutual ad- miration society,” we would like to suggest that “Concern- ed” get off this griping kick and help the President and pro- fessors make Grinnell the out- standing college it can be.

(Is there any student who does not have at least one professor who {uses “like” as a conjunction?)l These professors apparently feel that "How you say it doesn’tl lmatter, as long as you get the point across.” This is certainly' an unkind cut to those students l\vho realize that mechanical col-- ‘rcctncss is prerequisite to cm.- cient communication.
