For this reason, I feel that the anger over the South Younker case should be directed toward the students involved and not to- ward-the faculty committee. In many cases rule violations are understandable, because it is difficult to obey rules which seem unjust and irrelevant to one’s own best interests—but tn the South Younlrei- case the rule is, I think, just, and its yiolation is to be condemned. I welcome almost any at- tempt to liberalize the social and academic rules of the col- lege, but would—be rule-chang» ers must realize that they have ,‘10 rights 00 Stand on. “Justice" is irrelevant, practically speake ing. In requesting more privi- leges it is necessary to show that: 1) the recommended rule change is for the good of the students and everyone con- cerned; Z) the students will ac- cept the consequent responsi- bilities; 3) the rule change will not damage the reputation of the college, and if possible, will enhance its glory. The most im» portant is (3), where»(l) and (2) should be the most impor- tant, and would be if educa- tion rather than glory were the primary purpose of the college. This is my view of the situa» tlon. I don’t like it—for the' most part I despise it. I wish Grinnell College were a demo- cratic society, with a student government having linal legis- lative and judicial power in student affairs, instead of the authoritarian society that it is. But as long as this is the way things are, we are at least better off if we approach problems with a realistic attitude and don't waste time butting our heads against brick walls. Bill Farthing hampus Learns That Time Reveals Truth, Writes Sail Freshman ”To the Ediior: Time, whose course clarilies impressions, ineVltably brings to light Truth. The campus laughed in October, but in No- yember your smile fell into sorrow. Conduct probation has sobered many. The Faculty Committee on Student Affairs has dealt severely but justly with the South Younker case. The haze has been lifted; fact is replacing fiction on the Grin- nell campus. But I think a lesson has been learned. Rules are rules are rules. Infractions lead to punt ishment and, I hope, re-eval— nation, Fortunately nothing ir- revocable has been inflicted. merely a warning. Yet if this advice is not heeded, sterner action will be iorecoming.

I am unaware of any radical increase in that number this year. Perhaps the red haze apparently clouding the eyes of last week’s “irate parent,” who quoted the number as 600-700 plus, is responsible for such a misinformed statement, as well as for the general tone of the letter—~one can only hope that it was not the product or a mind operating in its rational state. Midge McKinley Errors in Chairmen Corrected by Kent To the Editor: I must admit it’s flattering to be considered the chairman of two senate committees. How- ever, this is not the case.
