SCARLET AND BLACK ' } Jags Continued From Page 1 Grinnell are happy ones and it is one of the frustrations of my life that I never finished my course there. Besides, you know the functions of an alumnus is to badger faculty, not run for student offices. Best regards, Gary Cooper.” In 1961 Emily Falk, ”re- splendent in black as she wag- gled her battered tall pointed hat with the iloppy brim and puffed on her Hollywood length cigarette holder with a saga- city more befitting a tribal Chieftain than a demure witch," ran on the Witch Ticket. In her campaign she tried coercive tactics on the delegates, say- ing, “I for one wouldn’t want to be responsible for spurning a witch. Vote for me —or else." Last year’s convention saw two jag candidates sporting their philosophies. Orv Tiesing exposed the campus-wide prob- lem of Creeping Puritanism, and offered his answerilech- ery, Scurvie Orvie and the lech- erous army of North Younker supporters brought their own degree of realism to the pro ceedings, and if nothing else, offered good entertainment dur- ing the long convention. The Origami Oracle, Dave Patterson, led the juniors in utilizing the syllabus for Jap- Fridoy. February 2! anese paper rolding, “Using tho six basic folds of Origami, tho Origami Oracle can fold the SGA into anything from a flap- ping bird to a Chinese junk," he proclaimed through his bearded chin. “Animalism, pure and unsul- lied by civilization,” was the political promise of Joel (The Beast) Goldman ,should he have been elected SGA presi- dent. Sitting ln a cage above the main floor of Darby, Gold< man and his supporters growled out the main policies of their platform, which included, ”bark being gnawed off the trees, people swinging on the vines of the chapel, and come pulsory Tashirts for everyone." Weyrauch Concocts Menu for Good Student Government Mainlngredient—Appetizing Fare of Meaty Leadership Lately, people have been coming up and talking to me on central campus about the un- savory student government at Grinnell. The consensus seems to be that there is an unsatis- fied hunger for government that is not in bad taste. I have applied a great deal of thought to this problem, and it has boiled down to the fact ' that the only way to bring good ‘ taste back into student govern- ment is for me to run for SGA president as SAGA’S Fayorite Son. After carefully studying the ' Various candidates and their platforms, I sincerely feel that I am the only man with the right recipe to Vitaminize the malnutrition which is so 'de- spairingly evident at Grinnell, I feel that the piece de re- sistance in the present refec- tion of student life is the SGA presidency. This is THE ingred- ient that needs to be spiced up! As a very flavorful leader, I am sure that in no time I can "SKIP-IT" find where the tasty seasonings have been mislaid. With this knowledge in my hands, any of- fenders of my menu will be stewed in their own juice. with these more lipssmacking measures, the first steps will be taken towards the creation of a new festive board for Grinnell students, which in turn will lead to a more culinary atmos- phere in which the college, a la cane, will be fed a fare of meaty leadership that they can really lick their chops over. Everyone who has eaten SAGA food knows how SAGA reaches the heart with burning insistency. Let me, with my recipe for student government, get to the heart of the probs lems at Grinnell. If I am SGA president, the trouble makers in unappetizing government of- fices will soon find their gooses cooked. Arthur (Skip) Weyrauch Hannah Advocates Sinlessness via Galloping Puritanism: Help Stamp Out Sex Alcohol, and Pseudo-lntellectualism Before any responsible stu- dent government is possible there must be REVIVAL—re- vival of the individual as a per- so revival of the balanced in- diVldual, campus, and govern- ment association. I maintain that the only possible way to save ourselves, and our hal- lowed school, is to repent of the evil and wickedness to which we have sold ourselves and adopt the policy of Galloping Puritanism. As earlier aspir- ants for this office I also am against Puritanism that merely creeps. Concern for Puritan- ism must not be allotted to a Faculty - Student committee where it will be around for a year or two, dropped in disgust and frus- tration, and then forgotten as the committee members leave Grinnell. Galloping Puritanism must be inspired Within each heart so that as capable indi- viduals we may act in a rea- sonable and responsible way. On this campus there are four major vices that have claimed the hearts, minds, and souls of many of the brethren. Sex, alcohol, over or pseudo- b attered‘ intellectuallsm, and the desire for the powers of government and legislation over fellow stu- dents. Sin, yes my brethern I said SIN, is the selling of the totality of the Whole person, spirit, mind, body, and desires to one of these evils. The only way that it is possible for you to wipe this evil and sin from your hearts, minds, and ac- tions is to adopt Galloping Purltanism completely and practice it until once again, with Hannah’s help, you are able to see in perspective the full human possibility. That goyernment is best which governs, and does not lose itself in oiling and nour- ishing the machine. As presi- dent Of the SGA I intend to put this principle into practice. Open rooms at all times that when the brethern feel the spir- it they may gather for hymn sings. Weekly trips, via Cov- ered Wagon, into various sin- ful Grinnell suburbs that those who have sold themselves into intellectualism may remember that try as they might they are still in and of this world. One half hour compulsory re- vival services held before classes that we may go forth with the joy of salvation in our hearts and some common relies ious ground on which to build a student life and government. Oh yes Brethren, REPENT! Forsake the ways of Main’s passion pit and dimly lit Una ion. Purge thyself of the evils of alcohol, rescue thyself from the fate of an individual traded in for a beaker of brew. Leave off concern for your next meal for it is merely sustainance for the true living experience. . Pledge yourself to spend at least two hours a day away from the evils of losing your seli in the pursuit of words, pages, and grades. Remember that it does not take twenty sets of senate committees and courts to interpret a simple one sentence rule that we accepted when we joined ourselves to Grinnell and that exists simply that there may be some order in the chaos of existence (apol- ogies to PGK). REPENT! Forsake unworthy ultimales! Follow Hannah to the true way! Hallelujah! Hallelujah Hannah
