Wednesday night was a night of excitement, glory, and expectation. The ex- citement has dwindled—hall celebrations and room decorations for the winners have run their course, The glory will soon be gone—when those all night meetings begin. The expectation, however, must remain. The women of the quad have elected their leaders and they expect something from them. Next year might see some definite moves made in the field of integrated dorms. The new house presidents should have definite opinions in this area and should enlighten themselves on the problems and possibilities involved in such a process. Campus opinion demands increased leadership in Women’s positions, especially in the senate. Much of the hall tenor influencing depend on the hall president. The questions of responsi- ble leadership in rule enforcement and policy creation must be answered by a positive board which has both direction and aim. This year’s AWS board has had ex- cellent direction, has often illustrated positive action, and has operated with the interests of the quad women at heart. We see another bright year on the AWS hori- zon. The excitement and glory may soon be oven The hard, often thankless work is just beginning. But are pectations are high, action in these areas will LD Goldberg Favors House Civil Rights Bill; Supports Senate Attempts for Cloture To the Editor: The Civil Rights Bill which was passed by the House of Representatives a little more than a month ago will soon be considered by the Senate. This essential piece oi legislation Contams provisions to make into enforctble law the constlr tulional rights of all peoples to vote in federal elections, to have'lree access to public ac- commodations, to attend inte grated schools, and to take ad vantage of equal employment opportunities under iederal con». tracts and in the federal govern-l menu.

I?“ Letters to the Editor . Student for Creativity ‘Over the Analytical at Grinnell , To the Editor: At Grinnell, a destructive at- tempt at a uniform approach to life is apparent even, or especially, in the iritellectual approach altered to us mental- ly gifted children; these intel- lectual restrictions are more profound than the social ones. America has grown with the scientific attitude as a tame lizer; in that tradition, when we come to Grinnell, we are taught to objectify and analyze everything. We seek in empir- ical facts and precise logical proofs a resting place for our ambivalent belleis in the na- lure of man and or good and evili I We also learn to objectify or- der and learn to respond posi- tively to it. We try to define our primary terms and outline principles of ordering. We find almost everything can be ex- plained in some way or has some order. We then come to see meaning—in all its senses, scientific. esthetic, and ethic #as a real fact of the World, but not as true or false; the multiplicity of orders makes everything seem equally insig- nificant, We see the apparent dichot- omy between the order of the world and the things in the world. The things are of them» selves utterly meaningless, while the naked order stands shivering, a hollow oiispring of the human mind. Man, we then must conclude, has no ulr timate, objectively truthful na~ ture, for the external world does not really exist as he sees it, and the order of his mind describes nothing but iancy. At no point inthis objective ap- proach to ethical life are any values even near to being found; at somelpoint, depend ing on his persistency and abil- Roberison Comments on Yoga Explains Effect To the Editor: Phil Brown's brief discussion of Yoga exercise and its basic rationale 'was interesting. How- ever, his comments on the an- atomical and physiological has is indicates a basic lack of un- derstanding of the circulatory system and its functioning. One gets the impression that be im- putes to gravity 3 major con- trol of arterial circulation, if he were correct in this, mainte< nance of an erect posture in— sures that the best oxygen sup» ply goes to the toes. Actually the arterial flow is relatively little aiiecied by gravity, being dependent on the iorce or the heart beat, augmented by the elastic character of the major arteries adiscent to the heart, such as the aorta. To assume that standing in the “head stand" position gives the heart “a rest from its usual task” is not only false but indicative oi a lack of understanding. Purely on a gravity basis, he is saying that it requires more work oi the heart in pump blood from the same area to the legs when the body posr tion is reversed, to say nothing: oi the supply to the viscera. ‘ The major effect of a headl stand on the circulation is onl the return of Venous blood (0' the heart from the head, and that effect is not a beneficxali lately adjacent to the heart on “Whiz" 1H: enu ore-r lino—Ind tbemlou the who lino—cl us. pol. iry i. toward a spreading dell mm Moscow, whai mom lulu"! minim NATO should wukflnr iii-r Funcl mourn leek in own tie: risen-hem.” Why should Harlin, Fume or Spu'n daclirle r. ind. with Curio when 21!. vs. (zed: Cox-rm" mum? my should M-kon'o: rerun. liming Soviet influence out .1 hi. ishnd when Working. r o n d r e e r r Klmuhchev .5 Iii-mi?" hr . i... may .i it. turn». hit. .6 NA- noiuu amrw. vain to Dorm cm. in I. :5 sh, N. v.

Others, such as the internal jugulars, have very ineffective valvesi Thus a prolonged headstand wo uld tend to result in stagnation of venous blood rather than in a better oxygen supply to the brain, Accumulation of carbon dioxide as a result of this will stimulate breathing rate and also bring about increased rather than decreased, labor for the heart. Possibly the psychological effects of the exercise are use- ful in helping the individual reach a state in which he is more amendable to the philos~ Dpy or Yoga. Perhaps the Con- trolled posturing has value as exercise for muscle systems. The lack of understanding of the structure and functioning of involved parts of the Circular tory system is disturbing. George M. Robertson lty, every student who uses this approach must quit in failure. Although some never begin this approach to ethics, since they are satisfied that man is evil and needs to be restricted and since the objectivecrdered approach reflects their restrict- ed society, those who do are left deeply dissatisfied. They revolted in the first place trend the stereotyped imageiof evil man that the social restrictions or any society imply, but they could discover no alternative. These people must then reluc- tantly accept the resuiciive middle class American Values (Grinnell’s), or allow common passions and semi-conscious bellefs to dominate, or aim- lessly revolt against the order and restrictions of society. This is the cause of "diven gent” behavior; hence, the negative attitude./ Students can learn that the analytical method — which is Grinnell's Way of lifevis no! the only way. Someone can demonstrate that a novel is not a point in a literary history and that philosophy need not be a study of alternative beliefs. Art and philosophy are cre< alive disciplines, which strive for beauty and truth. If these are not empty terms, if values can be found and not acquired, then the creative approach to life is proper, Can we ever ac- cept that the apparent dicho- tomy between things and the mind is only the dichotomy be- tween order and creative order, or no real dichotomy at all? Creativity (which must operaro underground at Grinnell) at least allows us choice in our decisions — in step beyond logi- cal limitations.
