The stu- dent has an opportunity to meet and share with students from not only this area but other parts of the country as well. LeMoyne College was estab- been excellent. Although there have been White adults who have taken courses at the Cole logo, the Grinnellians are the first college-aged white stu- dents that LeMoyne has had; their presence is helping to break down prejudice on both sides. “The greatest disadvantage of the Negro college,” Price said, “is that it has always op- LeMOYNE cause: PRESIDENT Hollis Price speaking at Sunday dinner about the LeMoyne-Grinnell exchange pro- gram to an interested student. lished in 1870 as LeMoyne Insti- tute and was composed of seven grades. However, there were few graduates because many students left school in order to teach those who had been left illiterate after the Civil War.

The College, which has an enrollment of 640 and a faculty of 35, awards about 100 degrees a yeari Until three years ago, the number was half this size. LeMoyne is supported by the Church of Christ: it also re» ceives aid from its membership in the United Negro College Fund. Approximately $145,000 per year is given in student aid in the term of scholarships, work-study programs, and Na- tional Defense loans. When asked about the effect on LeMoyne of having white students, President Price re~ plied that the acceptance has (Bl JD'S RESTAURANT [leveled—at my, Main, orinnrll erated in isolation.

The weather’s great but your Rus- sian hist exam isn’t? Your hay feliel‘ activates every morning from 6:00 to 9:47? The lounges are too warm and the golf course is too cold? Frustration, boredom, the gods, and Dean Slocum rule your life? You’re panting for change and kicks? Do not despair, for just as it strives to report the news ac- curately and well, the SM; feels a responsibility toward and kin- ship with the Grinnell student body. Thus, compassionate edi- tor John Wolf has devised a new jag; although it doesn’t have the infamous aura or sub- sequent effects of glue-sniffing, it does have its effects. What is this saviour-toebe of the nor- mal, average, wall—Crawling Grinnellian? Reading back is- sues 0f the Journal of the Pro- ceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science! Well, it’s certainly new and different — whoever heard of anyone eagerly charging to the library to pore over and devour journals or the Iowa Academy of Science? Let’s face it, abso- lutely no one However, all is not entirely (though almost) lost. Perusing the musty volumes, one encounters many facts and statements that do much to re- store one’s faith in man, nature, and science. Such is the article presenting the problem of “How old is the Mississippi?” which draws the truly profound Cone clusion, “Its prototype must “Party Clothes” 100k “like-new” Stu Nu is available at both North and South Campus Agencies [leg L01 Meekers Meeker’s Launderers and Dry Cleaners 1019V2 Broad St. Grinnell, Iowa "DON'T WASH THERE — WASHERE" have existed at a certain fixed time in the geologic past.” The names of the writers are as varied as the topics they deal with—everything from Launce- lot Andrews to Bruce Fink; from “Origin of the Present Drainage System of Warren County" (if there happens to be any romantics or historians around with manias for 1891 drainage systems) to “Study of Glands in the Hop Tree" (for anyone suffering from mono). The prophetic value of sci ence is welleillustrated With the following excerpt irom an 1890 dissertation: ”In connection with a Casual reference to the cenological features of Central Iowa, mention may be made to the recent discovery in the drift of a mass of soft ferrugi» nous sandstone charged with fossils," to which anyone who has noticed the construction of the library or has had much ex» perience in Burling basement will readily attest. Any hug for homey historical highlights would be gratified to discover that at Ames in 1894: “During the month of Septem» her, Mr. G. W. Carver brought in a fine lot of The Apple Powr dery Mildew." This might also prompt some patriotic Grinnel- lian, not wishing to be outdone by Amos, some lunch-time to donate his apple fritter to the cause of science. In concluding his stimulating evening, the frustrated student might chase down all this en- lightening information with the “Geological Section of the YMCA Artesian Well at Cedar Rapids” and employ “Synopsis of Paleozoic Echinoids” as a night Cap. Or better yet, he could beat it to the Rex, and there impatiently bide his time hoping, praying, and living for Spring Riot. j For School or Typewriter Supplies Grinnell Office Supply Across from the Posioflico GRINNELL.
