Island, Il1., while helping build a major secondary dike, they saw “nothing but flocks of kids who had come out of the slums looking for great fun. There was little organization and little being done.” Fisk said, “At one point I Walked up to a man who looked like an official and gave him some advice on What should be done, Subsequently it was pointed out to me that he was the city manager and head of the flood control project, But he took my advice.” The four Grinnellians went to the city hall for a briefing of the flood control operations After complaining about lack of organization, they were asked to take charge of the city’s sandbagging operations. The Grinnellians declined this re- sponsibility. “After looking at the kids and working with them for a short time, we felt the under taking was too large for us," Fisk said.“‘l‘here were too many 15 and lfiryearrold kids from the water front slums looking for a spree, and not enough wanting to do any hon- est work," The four spent two hours Walker, Bells Examine Role of College In Providing Negroes with Education By Pain Clay The respnnsibiiity of institutions such as Grinnell for Negro educa< tion was the topic of the final dis- cussion in the Board oi Religion’s series on the race problem Tiles- day, Waldo Walker, associate dean of the college, enumerated three cri- teria which have been used in past years to determine the admission of a student to Gi‘innell and other colleges, These were: 1) his aca- demic ability, 2) his financial sit- uation, and 3) his social accept- ability. “At least one of these," Walker said, "usually exempted the Negro from attendance.” At present a great change hasi coma about.

Raymund Betts (history). the second speaker, emphasized that the white intellectual must com- pensate fnr his forebears and him- self, quickly and intensively. This must be accomplished at all levels. For, while collegerlevel progress is most immediately ap- parent, it does neither the most profound nor lasting good. Help must begin at the kindergarten and preschool levels, Betts said.

The verdict will be amounced within the next three days, The Tuesday night case involved a Dibble freshman caught by city police walking the streets intoxi- cated. The police did not formally charge the Student but turned him over to 3. Eugene Thompson, dean of men, who “put him to bed." The student was charged with violation of the general conduct policy in the preamble to the Men's House Rules. Defense counsel Gerald Goddard revealed that Thompson had told the student he “did not consider it a serious offense." Thompson said, “However, I wouldn’t want anybody to go away thinking that it is a contradiction that the stu- dent was brought to court.” He said the student was not behaving in a disorderly manner and that would weigh in the case. In his final statement, Goddard said, “I do not think that pre- ambles can replace codification of laws and established procedure."
