Friday. December I4. ”762 Students’ critique oiiaculty l Scholarship repaymen’r lashedj rule's ius‘iifica’rion demanded To the Editor: In his recent statement re. garding student responsibility and maturity, President Bowen changed the student body with the task of thoroughly and care- fully examining their obliga- tions to the Grinnell commun- ity and to the “outside world” beiore proposing any specific changes in the college's social regulations. 1N MAKING this statement Dr. Bowen has opened himself to a similar appeal, and i should like to take this opportunity to put forth such a challenge. Specifically, I should like to A Merry and Sport Chrisfmus from :encourage the faculty and ad— .ministration to Seriously consid- er the value of the present reg- ulation regarding the repayment of scholarship funds in the event that a student wishes to trail? tier. The regulation, as ii. now stands, requires that a student who receives money from the college must repay his total school, This regulation is clearly indicative of the college’s lack of confidence, for it demon. strates the college’s fear that Students may find Grinnell to be slightly less than the uto- pia which the President‘s comments so frequently pic- tllre ii: to be. This restriction demonstrates that the “corporation" responsi- l i grant before he is allowed even‘ ‘to send a transcript to another, SCARLET AND BLACK To the Editor: 1 wish to direct this letter to the anonymous writer (in the .Dec. 7 5&3) who suggested that we evaluate the faculty. Granted, he may have received the un— fair treatment he complained of; however, he has no right to ,condemn the whole faculty. First of all, the teacher should not have to spend his time “challenging" students at this point in their education. This should have ended in grade school. There is also i something to he said for sound, amount of learning on one‘s own initiative. 1 suggest that the “Concerned lstudent“ set up a committee to decide upon the pay scale for the faculty, based upon their class attendance. Perhaps a bonus could he given to the professor who would hand out the largest bundle of intellectual curiosity , during the academic year, ‘ taking into consideration the , amount of preparatory courses r they have on their record, i South Page Three Animal life By George Forrest For the third year in a row, Cowles and Laugan finished one-two in the 1M volleyball standings.

Yet what does this argument amount to? The stu— dent is to be regarded as a financial investment, to be used for the benefit of the college, and jealously guarded against ‘the appealing aspects of other schools. I fail to see how any educa- tional institution which operr ates on this assumption can possibly have the audacity to call itself hoth liberal and progressive. I openly challenge any me her of the faculty or admin - tration to justify this regulation to the student body, for i fall deeply committed to the ed - cation and preparation of thei - dividual can possibly allow such a rule to exist.
