The chapter could have chosen no more eloquent member of the college community to address their group and guests than Evelyn Gardner, yet participants and visitors alike could not help but note that on a campus boasting academic excellence, only a handful of students and faculty members could manage to attend an event attesting to that excellence. Those who plan the schedules of chapel events had no choice but to place such events in the evenings after the admin- lstration added an extra class hour on Friday mornings But those who plan and those who influence those plans should take immediate heed to the warning and do something before more organizations are embarras‘sEd and more speakers spend their labors on just a handful. Students, meanwhile, will try to garner sympathy for their tough schedules and the lack of time to fulfill those schedules, land we can certainly see that tO take an hour out late in the morning is lnuch easier to do than to take a piece out of an evening. Yet, wllile they face the situation of having the lec- tures at night, we can only say that to refuse to attend because they think they don’t have time is Only using poor judgment. In almost every instance they miss out on something worth- while. Certainly this was the case Wednesday night. * >l€ Are Dance lM's Dying? “Things have been going smoothly on South Campus since * >‘n the ladies instituted their integrated dorm system which placed ' freshmen in every dorm. In fact, things were going just too smoothly, for the gals woke up this week to find themselves suffering from a severe case of apathy. The old fire that used to exist among the freshmen when their numbers were concen» trated together, and which subsequently would trickle down the loggia to wash upon some tired and worn upperclass women was never ignited this year. Thus, the night Of nights, when the quad puts its pointed foot forward in grandest style, threatens to see the‘ ladies fall flat on their powdered noses. ' Dance IM’s are coming. Certainly the highlight of the Quad- rangle activities for the fall semester, Dance IM’s have always stood as the single time each year when the members of the Quad get together to put on a worthwhile show and have lots of fun doing it. Now, few care. Perhaps the worst part Of the situation concerns those freshmen ill Main and Loose, whose halls have already dropped out of competition for lack of interest. They have been short- changed by their hall presidents and haffleboards. The coin- plaint from hall officers has been —— well, the freshmen didn’t sign up. Our complaint is — you didn’t tell them. A piece of paper on the hall bulletin board has very little claim to fresh- men interest, but an enthusiastic upperclassman who can tell them just what the program is all about and how much fun it is can fill many a signup sheet. Let’s hope that the women of the Quad don’t follow the examples set by Main and Loose and allow themselves to be paralyzed by apathy. Integrating the lorms has spread the Quad’s life blood much thinner. Right low she lies a little anemic — maybe what she needs is a shot |f adrenalin. LD ‘ Letters to the Editor freshman Wonders About ARH Steps To the Editor: As a freshman I have been pleased with life and seTViCe at Grinnell. However I do have an observation to make. Several weeks ago I nearly met death in ARH. As I calmly journeyed from class to class I slipped down the stairs in ARH. Had it been only one flight I might have overlooked the hazard, but it wasn't and I’ve been hobblmg ever since. Seeking sympathy I mentioned my accident to the girls in the dorm. Instead of sympathy I found only the knowing looks of those who had fallen before me. We fallen women would like to suggest that some safety precautions be made to guard against serious accidents in ARI-I. Because the metal step guards are worn, they are ex- tremely dangerous. From all reports the danger will only be increased with the Iowa snOWS and wet boots. For the sake of all, I urge - B&G to either level all two story buildings or make the ARH stairs more sale.

But recent word from Imy son informs me this is no joke, lbut regrettable truth. i wish to add ,my protests to those of the writer in the October so issue, Scarlet and Black Letters to the Editor. From what I am told there is a great deal of dissatisfaction among students in regard to the organizar tiun in v 01V e d (Buildings and Grounds) Apparently there have been other incidents of a similar nature. Regardless of policy in such matters, it seems to me the action taken was childish and Vin» dictive —- an unreasonable method of control. I am amazed that this organization continues to be tolv erated as a part of the Grinnell College family. Helen M. Barnes Bloomfield H ills, Michigan Study, Don’t Paint, Says Another Alum To the Editor! In regard to theletter from Jacob B. Browning, an alumnus from whom I have heard very little, until now, I disagree. Every Joe College who comes along thinks he can change anything to Suit his own mlel" ests completely disregarding institutional regulations that are established for his own pro tection, Grinnell is small, sure, small enough to make blatant disregard all too obvious. The school has funds and men to keep the buildings in tip-top shape. Let’s hope that that young man who painted his room was an art major, other- Wise he will have gained noth— ing but an awareness of the pitfalls of neglecting his stud- ies for a pointless pastime. The pages in his books should keep him busy enough to forget me walls around him. E. Bertram Hillel' “another concerned alumnus” 1019'/z Broad treatment of FASHIONJ’INISH.
