'oql Ton 'Herzog's Lust Sland' Ed. Note: Thu iollowing is or cei'pled irom a speech Jim i-lerzog delivered to the student Senate on Feb. 24. For the past two and a halt years, i have been distressed by the direction and attitudes of this college regarding sociarrulcs. My actions and reactions in re- lponse to these rules have been essentially negative. 1 have_ op» posed specific rules and actions, and even opposed the overall phil- osophy which has brought the rules Ind actions. My design {or a college is an ideal, and it is this ideal which I have sought and still seek: a fine educational institution which does not attempt to impose a tight curb on the intellectual and social habits, desires and thoughts at the students. _ I see a college which is es- lentially without any social re- strictions, other than the laws which govern the outside world. The, laws I would envision at n ‘college are laws against damage and drunkeness; that is, laws which prevent people from infring- ing on the lives and rights at others. . _ This grind design implies an absence of rule! that inhibit er- .Iollal freedom—rules that II ow the college to serve II 1 HI mother awn from mother. In a college whit thinks and act! 13% itlvely, 1 can see no Idn'linistn- tor asking girls it they lrn‘preg- nant, no administrator dismissing, suspending or placing student: on probation without due process, no administrltor allowing resident: of a college to ply for the depreci~ ation of college property out at l “social" fund, no administrator saying cars are evil when Henry Ford long ago proved moiety would accept them, Uniertunately. many of the con- trols, restrictions, and unnecessary altitudes to which I object have been manifested at Grinnell Col» lege. Here we have rules which prohibit everything train cottec makers to motor vehicles. Each rule has its own rationale, and each is a tribute to the motherly concern this college Ill! for its Iludents. My feeling is that the college administration has been static, un- yielding, and distrustful of stu- dents during the past yelr. The Student Sennte, the student courtl, and the student executive officers are but ineflectull voices in the wilderness. The college administra- tion has decided on Whit it Want! and is bending I! lwiftly I! in feasible Do I goal at efficient Ind complete enforcement of rule]. The method! of the administrator! are strong and harsh. The various crises of this year sire morn ser- ious than in past years, And yet, Dean Thompson warned Lingan Hall, “If you think you already have seen arbitrary action, you haven‘t seen anything yet,” From the top to the boltum the various student representatives, of- ticcrs and executives have become but pawns of a college which ap~ parently is singlermindedly head- ing towards a more narrow, more restricted community, This com munity is unattractive to me, During the past two years Grim nell’s student government officers have been disturbed and have Ll'led to pomsy the crises beloro students. The effort has been, for the most part, in vain. The stile dents have tallcd to see crises and the general change in the tenor of the community. I would bid student government to dissolve. This seems the only powerlul weapon we have left. I would bid the students to coniront the administration as a cohesive body which no longer recognizes the rules imposed by the admin- istration. Let the halls regulate their own lives, Let the student government operate informally without alleg- iance tn the deans. Let the dean of women make her own bed- cllecks every night. Let the deal" police open dorms. If there is no due recess, then let there be no one liable to face the harsh author- ity of the college administration. Let us demonstrate clearly in all that the phrases in the co lege cltlloguc about tho tin: and inde- pendent student government are only empty sales phrnsu, Anonymous letter Hints Herlog libel To the Editor: It's high timd the administra- tion stop (‘1 worrying about such trifling lugs as vandalism. pub~ lic drunkenness, and the illegal posmsion of firearms and took steps to prevent a far more serious mischief: 1 rarer to a recent in- stance of false and malicious im- petsonaiion or n student by par- Lies unknown, 1 recently found in my mailbox a copy of what was alleged to be a transcript or 1 speech made in the Student Sen- ate by Jim Herzog.

State Department Does Not Endorse American Student Information Service The American Student Informa- tion Service (ASIS). an organiza~ tion claiming to locate American students in jobs in Europe, has been the subject of ”ma concern recently on the part 0! the 11.8. State Department. The Collegiate Press Service in a release dated Febrnury 26, 1965, said that the State Department re< fused to endorse the activities of ASISl The A515, the release said, has been the object at numerous complaints by students. Over a year ago the 5&3 car- ried an ad {or the A515 and as a result received a letter» from Drl w. M. Hollander oi Davenport, Iowau In his letter, Hollander said that his daughter had considered obtaining help from the ASIS. Hollander, however, wrote a Are You Interested in Knowing — HOW THEY CAN PROMISE A SUMMER IN EUROPE FOR LESS THAN $100?

Rlvkin said of A515 that “numer- ous complaints have been brought to the embassy's attention by stu- dents. On several occasions the embassy has attempted on behalf of the students to discuss These complaints with the directors or ASIS, but has (ound them to be to- tally uncooperative." As a result or our embassy's re- lations with ASIS, ambassador Rivkin suggested writing to “walla established, nonprofit, agencies such as the Institute of Interna< tional Education or the Experb ment in International Living."
