The Scarlet and Black, unrepresented in the Executive Cabinet, was given $5,300.

After all, who could be morc concerned? Miss Suts ley's case, liowcvcr, is one in which a little learning has done lot of harm, and I suggest that the reason for her extreme opinion on “Sex and the Grin— ncll Girl" is that she's been reading too many books lately. This is not to say that her idcas are completely without merit: all that is needed is a relinement.

The fact is, rm sad to‘ say, that ii colllronted by a charming. feminine. and sexy young woman, many Grinncll “men" wouldn't know what to do with her. on or off campus.l A Sizeable portion oi the male 'cni-ollment is still univillmg to take advantage of the elr joyable social relations that are‘ already available. as is evi— ‘deneed by the large stag atten- dance, both male and iciiialc, at conccrls, movics, and plays, Thcsc “incn‘ still possess a naive high-school attitude which ,vicws sex as either all black or all while, and as yet they arc unable to perceive the shadiugs ,iii between where one finds the proper balance And so they remain content to admire the more attractive residents cl south campus [com a distance E a considerable (llSA ltance Though they are always willing, in the midst of all male, company. to discuss the merits . iutes.
