Transcript Trouble Last June, the Board scholarship repayment rule because of student sure in the form of a referendum which calle of Trustees abolished the YES- for repeal of the clause by a vote of 644-77. The reason for rescinding the rule, given both by the students and by the Board, was that such regulation was not in keeping with the philosophy of a liberal arts college. There is another un-liberal-arts like rule that ought to be brought to students’ attention and which ought to be rapeaied by the Board of Trustees. This regula- tion states that any student who sends a transcript to another college immediately loses eligibility for a room the following year, regardless of the fact that he or she has paid the $50 room-reservation fee. In explaining the reason behind this rule, one ad- ministration member noted that il: makes it easier for the college to assure rooms to students who are sure of returning. While this might be the case, it is still a fact that the student has paid $50 to guarantee a room and that this $50 will be lost if the student finally does decide to transfer. This $50 should be sufficient payment to the col- lege in cases where a student really is not sure of re- turning in the fall. Why compound his worries by cutting him off from this college before he is accepted at another school? The college has every right to want to keep its first-rate student body, but it should use positive means of doing so. J. W. Peter Miller Sanity of Stones Of course, it goes without saying that there will be a few ”minor problems” and *"little difficulties” [0 be taken care of after’ a nuclear holo- caust. » One of these “minor problems" concerns itself with the question of what we are going Do do about our jobs after a nuclear cataclysm. The United States Govern» silent, in its inimitable way, has come up with the answer to this question. Most of the gov- ernmental branches have sent, in recent months, memoran- dums to all personnel concern- ing what is expected of them regarding their job obligations after a thermonuclear war. Illustrative of these memoran- dums is the following directive from Madeleine O’Brien, ad- ministrative officer of the U. 5. Commission on Civil Rights: “All employees, if prevented from reporting to their regular place of duty because of enemy action, are requested to go to the nearest Post Office and ask for a federal employee registreu tlon card. Fill out all spaces on the card and return it to the Post Office clerk. The employ» lug agency in the registration card should be shown as Gen- eral Services Administration, with the branch as the U. S. Commission on Civil Rights in- asmuch as our official records are maintained by GSA. The Post Office will forward your card to the Civil Service Com- mission. When the Civil Serv- ice Commission- receives your card, they will notify the Gen- eral Services Administration. They can then decide where and when you should report for duty. This should be done as soon as possible after an attack to enable you to be kept on the roster of active employees and to have your pay forwarded to you. If you change your ad- dress after the card has been sent, get a new one in the same manner prescribed above. Ali though you complete your reg- istration promptly, there may be some delay before you re- ceive your work instruc- tions. . .” I am indebted to Jack A. Smith of the National Guardian, which is, incidentally, an excel» lent and highly informative progressive newsweekly, for this beautiful example of “Red Tape uber alles." SCARLET AND BLACK Friday. May is. 1964 Letters to the Editor Corrects Herzog Statement: Clarifies Position on Nominees To the Editori Since I was substantially mis- quoted by Mr. Herzog in the Senate article which appeared in last week’s 5&3, I feel that I must endeavor to set the rec- ord straight. Referring to the High Court nominees of Pete Klein, Nonie Goldman, Vince Anku and Bill Zwink, I was quoted as stating, “there could have been better people." Essentially this was not my opinion then or now. A minor‘ lty of the Nominations Commit- tee abstained from voting on one nominee but it should be emphasized that not one vote was cast against any of these people. The statement printed by Mr. Herzog was a minority opinion representing neither my views nor those of the majority of my committee. If Mr. Herzog wishes to quote such a statement, I feel he should endeavor to place it in the proper context. Slipshod methods of reporting the news benefit no one. John Lischer Kaufmann Ouashes lfurasch's Critique, Defends Movies Program at Grinnell To the Editori Grinnellians, pity Don Kur» asc‘h—his main hope has not been realized In his recent let- ter to the editor (May 8), he introduces his brilliant com- mentary on the pizza purchase by the following statement: “My main hope in this letter is that my anger after reading the article in last week’s 5&3 (regarding the budget passed by the SGA) does not cause me to go astray and obliterate the point I plan to make." I’m afraid his anger has lost him in areas far distant to the piz- za purchase. I wish to com- ment on only one of Kurasch’s profound but unrelated pro- nouncements. Kurasch severely criticizes the movies program by stating that students “have often and right. iy complained about the quality of die movies brought here." He characterizes the typical film shown as being a “Grade C piece of film trash." 1 ques- tion the quality of Kurasch’s knowledge. As a point of mu, Hollywood's ranking system does not extend beyond the B level. Therefore, it is impos sible to show a Grade C pic- ture. Furthermore, if one GLASSES Marie and Repaired in Our Laboratory Contact Lenses CASES AND SOLUTIONS EYES EXAMINED E. J. Jensen, O.D. Optometrist Across from Post Office checks the published spring film calendar, one can hardly generalize these works as “film trash." As the new movies chairman for 1964~65, I am receptive to knowledgeable and intelligent criticism. Kurasch’s statements are neither. His personal “an» ger" has led him astray in this area too. Because his anger is so overpowering, 1 seriously question Kurasch’s qualifica- tions for spokesman of total campus opinion. Perhaps Kur- asch has verbally complained in the past about the movies program. If so, I would appreci— ate any thoughts he has con- cerning it, but not absurdities Bruce Kaufmann } Senate Continued from Page 1 Campbell suggested that the student body does not unden- stand the functions of the courts and this hinders effective coun action. The Senate voted to send a directive to the Execu- tive Cabinet asking that a com- plete list of the combined rights and obligations of the defend- ant be placed in the next Stun dent Handbook. The question of disaffiliation from the United States Nation- al Student Association was postponed until the next Senate meeting. Phil Johnson, 5. G. A. President, could not attend the meeting and, in a letter to the Senate, asked that the discus. sion of N. S. A. be delayed for a week. There was some dissent over the matter of once again de- laying action on N. S. A. John Black felt that the call for de- lay was a “tactic to put off de- bate until a time when the Senate would not have a nude rum." Richard Heilbron stated that "we should not delay this particular business any long- er.” The Senate, heeding John- son’s plea, decided for delay. The appointment of Carol Yenawlne as secretary to the Executive Cabinet was ap- proved. in reaction to the criti- cism leveled on the Senate for its pizza resolution, the body refused to approve the remain- ing $20.49 from the judicial re- serve of the school year 1963- 64 for the purpose of a party for the members of the Men’l Primary Court then serving. Students funds are safe for the time being I. Q 0 K SOMETHING NEW Ahrvcmo’s will deliver Sandwiches with an Order of $2.00 or more g with or pizza AHRVANO’S PHONE 6-6222 Attention!!
