hoe Two SCARLET AND BLACK Sequeiro Explains Aid Plans. ,‘Finonces Remain Adequale' ‘ By ALAN AXELROD ' The financial needs of Grinnell students are adequately provided for in monetary giits awarded by the college in the iorm of scholar» ships and grants~lnvaid. . “No!” you say? Leforne Sequel- ra, director of placement and stu- dent aid, thinks so and further believes that the story about thou- sands ol dollars in scholarship tunds going unused is a myth. "We use every penny at the funds that are alotted to us," he said. This year 124 ireshmen are get— ting gifts. and the average award is $783, while last year 163 fresh~ then received an average or $775. These totals represent outrand»out gifts and do not include loans or campus employment. While the number of ireshman scholarships went down, the number of fresh» men went up, from 356 to 372. However, Sequeira says that there is no discrepancy in these figures. “Once accepted, every student who applies for an needs finan- cial assistance gets it,” he said. Last year the college had $367,000 available for financial assistance. The total went down this year to $350,000. “However, these figures are misleading.” he insisted. “Sev- eral scholarship funds instituted a few years ago have exhausted themselves.” “There is a continual turnover in funds available irom year to year,” he said. When gifts pres vided by outside sources are not adequate, the college must dig in. to its own income to make up the difference. When the college does this, however, there is less available for the educational en» terprise, and during years of heavy outlay of funds for such improve- ments as the Forum and the new science wing, the college some- times finds itself in a bind. Sequelra predicted that next year, however, there will be $370,000 readily avallable, and the college will be doing a better job iii needs analysis. \ Suturdoy Forum Open House Esperanto Features Trio of Koerner, Glover, Roy ' The highlight ot the upcoming weekend social calendar will be No appearances at the Forum Open House Esperanto oi Koerner, Glover and Ray, a folk singing trip that gave what Boston's “Broadside" called “the must imv pressive periormance oi the eve- ning” at the Newport iolk festie val.

Disorder Recently, miral, a good mission." during my marathon study break (now elitllng its second week), I saw a war mOVle on television, The name oi the movie doesn't really matter but there was some timeless dialogue and in case you missed this gem, We recorded it below. The scene was on the bridge oi a large aircraft carrier. Two men _. an admiral and a lesser rank» ing officer — were talking. A lite long trieud oi the Admiral — a prep school and college chum, the best man at his wedding, God lather at his son — has died in a mission led by the lesser rank. . . “But was your mission in good judgment?” "Admiral, we completely destroyed the bridge and still had bombs left over. You know the un- written rule — never return unless you’ve used all your bombs. We hit the secondary target and killed untold numbers or enemy troops who were living in those village homes. it was a good mission, Ad- down?" airfield.” Admiral said: mission. . Darlene Keeler “What did you do to save him after he was “We sent a chopper. it was shot down. We sent in tighter-s as air cover. They were shot down. The paratroopers were killed. They were, atter all Atl— miral downed right in the middle of that enemy “Yes, I see, but still . . l” "Admiral. It was a good mission." He got a far away look in his eyes, “We're going to have to face it — you are and I am — that some people are going to get hurt over here in this war and some may even go so far as to get killed. Sooner or later — Lord knows we try to make it later _ someone we know and maybe even like is going to get killed. We can't let that ruin our lives. We’ve got to go on just like before Don't let it change your attitude." There was a pause — a short pause. Then the “You’re right, of course. You say it was a good Graduate Writes from Thailand Ed. note: The iullowing letter was written Sept. 7 by Darlene Keeler, who is participating in the Fifth Year Abroad program at Dara Academy, Chiengmsi, Thailandt Although i feel as if I've been here “forever." i find it hard to believe that its September, that summer in the U.S. is over, and that Classes at Grinnell have be- gun, in ways it seems that it was just a short time ago tllat I ar- rived in Chiengmai, got used to being stared at by the students, became accustomed to having dogs, chickens (sctawny ones, at that), and birds going in and out or the classroom at will, eating new and different foods, and mak» ing adjustments to other things that make life nin in a little different manner over here, i blithely began teaching thinking i “knew" English, but soon Iealr ized that just because i spoke it, it didn't necessarily mean that i knew it or that I Could teach it wtthout preparation. It was some- times easy to go to class at Grin» nell unprepared, but i iind that it is a little harder to teach when you're unprepared! Alter getting somewhat settled in a groove which was fairly free of obstacles. l was able to see more of Chieng. mai, which interested me much more than did teaching, Chiengmai, 543 miles north at Bangkok, is the second largest city in Thailand with a population of 100,153 (1960 census) Within the City limits. Chiengmai is sur rounded by mountains and the valley is quite icrtile. Most of the people are iarmers. Besides grow- ing much rice, soybeans, and pea- nuts, Chiengmai is noted for its fruit. 1 might add that it is also noted for its pretty girls and kind people, facts which I learned from correcting about 300 compositions! Right now we are in the middle or the rainy season, the tinie when rice is planted and everything is very green and lush. it doesn’t ruin all the time, but it usually manages at least mice a day or else it might rain quite steadily for a day or two and then be iollowed by a beautitul siinny day—it varies, and you can never count on it being one way or the other. I'm getting quite used to riding my bike to my Thai langur age class in the rain and am finding it a Challenge to keep irom getting splashed. One of the things that struck me most when Larrived was [he traiiic. It's like you've never seen belore and your llle is at stake whenever you venture forth. The streets are crowded W|th bicycles, cars, buses, trucks, 3-wheeled m0~ torized taxls, pedicahs (man pow- ered taxis), Hondas. and even some ox carts. i think the Thai have a philosophy that says that the other driver has a steering wheel and brakes and is Capable oi using them. when everyone thinks this way it can sometimes lead to interesting results. They pass anytime they wish and hook then‘ horns at Corners instead 0i slowing down. I don’t think any one listens to these hcrns, but maybe they do. Anyway, it is sort of fun to manllever in the traffic. i was also struck by the many, many little shops that line the street and seem to be selling the same thing. I wonder how anyone makes a living. When I think of these shops a picture of the red and white of the Colgate tooth paste. the red, blue, and white oi a box or Feb, and the orange oi Ovaltine can come to mind. These three companies seem to have made a “hit" in Thalland. Then there is the market which is "something else" and proves dif- iicult to describe. in it are many little booths where everything is sold. You can close your eyes and tell where you are by the smell— the meat market, cosmetic, etc, The food market is probably the most interesting, for so many of the foods are new to me and l’m fascinated by their looks and their odors. If you like to bargain and are adept at it, you can have lots or tun haggling over prices. The best time to go is early in the morning when everyone is buying food. We oiten go there at 6:30 tor breakiatt where, besides eating interesting iood. you see lots oi interesting people. it's quite a colcritil place. and, needless to say. diflerent ironi “shopping cen- ters" at home. i don’t want to bore you, so this is all [or this letter. Please write it you have any question, espec- ially ii ynll are interested in com< ing next year. I’d enjoy hearing irom any of you. Parsons, Antioch Suffer Dissension By PAUL BRADLEY Faculty ~ student antagonism at Antioch College worsened this summer when Mary Hunt, direc. tor of Antioch’s extramural de- partment, resigned, She leit be- cause, “i iind it increasingly on. ticult to accept the living stand- ards and behavior patterns of our students. .1 believe we will make no progress until a strong -leadership makes clear the stand- ards we intend to foster and en— courage," Examples of student behavior were brought to light, The casual, loiltngonthe-iloor, manner or Au— tioch students attending a lecture by a visiting philosophy protessor and the loss of nine hundred books a year from the library were cited. A proposition is being considered by the student government to SilSr pend Antioch’s honor system and impose these restrictions: 1. A guard at the library. 2. Suspension of open hall hours. 3. Proctored exams in classes. 4. Enforcement of strict dress standards in the cafeteria. Dissension is also heard in the surrounding community, where, according to the Antioch newspa- per, students have tound it on — cult to secure adequate oftcampus housing. The remnant of the Ollie Kll Klux Klan has threatened in “run Antioch out of Ohio.” Parsons College is also having problems with the local commlm» ity, reports the college paper. The town welcomes the college's spend- ing power, but substandard holis- ing oil-campus for the students is lar from the exception. in addi— tion, police have arrested and fined students for walking in the streets and hitcnllikingl
