4 Unpredictability of Human Af- ‘ as little hope for the present Average Grinnetl Student Spends 91 Hours Working and Sleeping How does the Grinnell student spend his time? The average student, accord- ing to a report issued last Fr day by Grinnell President How- ard R. Bowen, spends 39 hours a week studying and conferring with professors. He spends an average of 5 hours a week in class and 52 hours a week sleep- lug. Meals and personal care take 21 hours a week, while free time takes a 41 hour chunk out of the student’s week. Dr, Bowen’s report was based on a survey taken of a test group of 64 students, on a sur— vey to see where all students were during the week, and by his conversations with scores of students. "The great majority of stu— dents study from 5 to 8 hours a day," reported Dr. Bowen. “And the average work week about 54 hours,” noted, is “considerably longer than the ‘forty-haur \veek’ com- mon in business. However, Grin. nell students do not spend time in commuting have relatively few household responsibilities." From the 41 hours a week which were found to be “free time” comes time for “employ- ment, relaxation, recreation, public events, and extracurricu— lar actiivties." In the week that Dr. Bowen took his survey the average student spent 42 hours in the union, 2.5 attending public events, and 2.2 participating in sports. “The work load of Grinnell students appears to be heavy, but is generally accepted." Dr. Bowen concluded. “However, there is a great need for careful management of time and sched— uling . . . Many studentscan. not engage in all the activities This 54 hour week, Dr. Bowen they would like." number of number of short both rehearsed and impromptu.

ADDRESS ”The Philosophy of . ‘ Dr. Eric Voegelin -agrees with Toynbee that Com- munism, for example, is Judaeo- Christian heresy, but attempts to define in great detail what the error is that has made our age a time of troubles. Whereas Toynbee looks for. ward to a world-religion, em~ bracing elements from both Hinduism and Christianity, Voe. gelin is a professed christian. Born in Cologne, Germany, in 1901, Voegelin, who is a natur- alized citizen of the United states, received three years of his education at, among others, Harvard on a Rockefeller grant. He received his Dr. Rer. Pol. from the University of Vienna.

A public official and scholar in Germany, Voegelin was con. cerned with the rise of Hitler. Clearly anti-Nazi in theory and in practice, he concluded one of three controversial books pub- lished during the 1930’s on a practical note. namely, that the concept of race cannot serve as the basis of any modern govern. ment. He was dismissed by the Nazi government in 1938, spending his “cxile” teaching at Harvard, Ben- nington, the University of Ala- bama, and finally at Louisiana State University, where he was Boyd professor of political sci. ence from 1942 to 1953. ”Order in History," a philo— sophic study, is the outgrowth of his “The New Science of Pol- itics," which was never pub-’ lished, but read as the Walgreen Lectures at the University of Chicago in 1952, This work will comprise six volumes, of which the first: three were published in 1956-57. Voegelin says the “last three volumes have become one large theoretical study which will bear the title ‘Spirit and Power.’ " Some say that in his that three volumes he is spelling out the faith of the Bible: “Unless the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it."
