Mutt By WAYNE STENGEL 24 years ago—tall at 1941— found Ihe Grinnell student body, its seen through the eyes of the 5&3, concerned with war, holi- days, class cuts, prepping, and what's at the Strand; altogether bearing an uncanny resemblance to our interests in the (all 0(1965. Over the masthead oi the 1941 Thanksgiving edition oi the 5&1; appeared this memo in doric type: "Forget not the five buck fee {or cutting class today". The admin istration should never have aban- doned this policy, They really had something here What senior wouldn’t rather lose 1/2 of an ex Lm credit than shell out live bucks? Oh, for the good old days when you could see Ronald Regan at the Strand in “International Squad- ron" at a Saturday matinee for a dime, and not speaking to voters in California about the interna» tional conspiracy. Oh, for that joyous yesteryear when E. E. Spencer, at Newton contractor, tried to sue the freshman class for stealing Loon ieet of lumber as part of u prepping stunt. But they shouldn‘t make movies like they used to, and they don’t make preps lilre students read about in the De- cember 5. 1941 edition of the 5513.

The 5&B reaction to this threat was as typically col- leglate in its iervor as repeated urgings to remove American troops irom Viet Nam are today. To the paper's most ardent critics, which will include, by May, the total enrollment of the school mi- nus the twenty»tliree regular staff members, this excerpt train a No vember 21, 1941 edition will make it evident that, while not neces- sarily improving in quality, 5&1; editorials are more sophisticated in tone The very title, “Hitler and You" is a tip on to the degree at personal involvement the writer wished to elicit in his readers. 1 quote: “Say what you will about Hitler, you can’t ignore him any- more than you can do without your weekly bath! (And don’t think Grinnell students didn’t try to do that even in the prevbeatnik 1940s.) Mighty as his Nazi armies are, the real threat to you is not to be round in the mighty armor of the German Reich. Lurking in the shadows is 2: much greater factVthat Hitler had succeeded in moulding a united Germany with a living, dynamic ideology.” And so the prophetic voice of doom moaned melodramatically on, tinaliy concluding with that most rabble-rousing nf rhetorical ques- tions, “Hitler has his Own peculiar answer to the problem, What is going to be ours?” Communicu ns Calls Students who worked in any area or mass communications this summer are asked to contact Sigv ma Delta Chi president David Lighthonrne or Theta sigma Phi acting President Cynthia Brust as soon as possible.
