MANAGING canon ausmsss MANAGER , copy EDITOR HEAD PHOTOGRAPHER _ Hello Freshmen - - I After six days on the Grinnell campus you must feel pretty welcome. Everything has been geared to your wants and needs; group leaders, faculty members, college officials and various upperclassmen have been on hand to help you keep up with the fast pace of New Student Day activities. In short, the service has been .wonderful. Our purpose here is not to add any more time-worn phrases of welcome. You know you are. We don’t need to extol the glories of Grinnell college; the catalogue does that; neither do we need to elaborate on the exten— sive talents and capacities of the in-coming studentse your own records have already done that You know what Grinnell can do FOR you and you’re ready for it, But are you ready for what Grinnell can do TO you? ‘ In some ways Grinnell is like a giant “self service" store — you walk around in the midst of extensive mer— chandise and reach out and take according to your de- sires, Things are attractive and they're at your disposal, if you just take the time to reach out and grab, But soon you start to take too much time, because there’s so much you want. And you aren’t satisfied with what you can profitably use and benefit from. You must take more and more from the shelf, and as you pile it around you, you become isolated from others Walking around the same store. You don’t have time for them because you have to keep reaching out for more things on the shelves. And the more you pile around you, the less you care what the others are doing as long as they don't interfere with your visit to the store. This college is an institution; you and your fellows are its community The shelves of the institution are well stocked; and the members of its community are serving themselves. In order for the institution to be able to provide anything worthwhile from its shelves, the community must henefitas a whole after each mem- ber has done his part to equip himself adequately to serve as part of that whole. But look at all the parts which are working over~time to serve only themselves. They will eventually break down from over—exertion and all their grabbing will have gained them nothing, And, by then, the shelves will be empty.

In an opening statement be- fore the Dean’s address, Ken~ you A. Knopf, chairman of the faculty, stated that Grinnell’s goal for the year should be “liberal learning” He spoke of responsible behavior as a ne» cessity for survival and pro— grass of moiety and in refer» ence to joint effort in pursuit of the goal of liberal learning, asked for a workable relation- ship between separate groups. The same tone appeared later in the convocation when the Dean spoke of me Grinnell style of living in the realm of liberal education. "There is a need for the style of living to be a strong, supporting, integral part The reSldents in liberal education are not full in the culture of liberal education. There is a mixture here:‘too much is alien to liberal educa- tion.” Obviously referring to the record of dispute between stu- dents and administration over the social living regulations, Stnuss Stated that in matters of conflict, there must be an equilibrium of policies, “The trustees don’t get everything they want; the faculty doesn’t get everything it Wants; the administration doesn't get ev- erything it wants. and the stu- dents don’t get everything they want," he continued. In ble indicati n of what Nearly 100 Different Reproductions of “The Children with the Large Expressive Eyes” ministrator [oi- the college, the Dean said that college govern- ment, the trustees. administra- tion, and faculty should have primacy, while the students have influence. Conclusions, he stated, would come out of this lprocess of Self-restraint and common sense. Sensing probably dissatisfac- Lion among student leaders and members who are still looking for some definite answers to obvious conflicts, Dean Stauss aslced his audience for belief in the sincerity of purpose in his statements. He showed ex- press concern for the health of the college community, stating that any role in a young per sons life for the period of four years is a serious assignment. He stressed that there is 3 del- initc place for ,conservative guidelines, and concluded: policies he might take as 311- i Friday, September in, m4 "1 must use the judgment of what I read and heari exper- ience has great yalidity and offers insight." The convocation, a regular feature of the New Student Days program, featured an aca- demic procession as well as the addresses by Knopf and Dean Stauss. The Grinnell Col. lege Choir. under the direction of Don Jones, made its first formal appearance of the yea! singing four selected Psalms. Music was provided by Elbert Smith, college organist. Do- spite a heavy mist and consist- ent rain, the Chapel was filled for the occasion with many students having to stand in the back. It was the first official appearance of Dean Stauss be- fore the student body since the resignation of former president Howard R. Bowen July 1. Next weekend leaders of stu~ dent government and faculty and administration members with positions which are in~ volved with student affairs will gather at a camp near Boone for the Student Leader- ship Encampment. These 40 students and 20 members of faculty and admin istration will spend the weekend trying to work out some of their problems and to lay the ground work for some of their activities for the year. It IS hoped that the weekend will be profitable to all and that it will save much time throughout the year. Though there will also be some recreational activities and free time, much of the week- end will be devoted to discus- sion group meetings. Each par- ticipant has been assigned to a discussion group in the area of his activities and interests. These groups will be chaired by a student, but both facult PouI Nelson announces AN ENTIRE COLLECTION OF PORTRAITS by the American Artists __,— Waller & Margaret Keane will be on display and offered to everyone who loves child"- \ KENiE one do y only ‘ committee are Mike Leaders’ Encampment Committee Sels Plans for Week-end Meet and students will participate in each group.
