Friday, November 26. IN! SCARLET AND BLACK try. him Edam, Jim. Wadi Nine years ago, an alert 5&8 columnist noted the possibility of small-town trauma among the newer students at Grinriell, As he put it. . . “According to the catalog. Grin- iiell College is situated in ‘Grinr nell, a city oi nearly 7000 persons . about 300 miles west oi Chi- cago and 50 miles east or Des Moines.‘ This puts us right in the middle of nowhere, and it has oc- curred to me that a new student from a big City might be confused by this phenomena at the small American town, “For this reason, i thought we might take a short tour at the town, while I point out some, of the more interesting features." Astute Columnist goes on to give a royal tour of “downtown” Grin- nell, which has changed little dur- ing the intervening years. Thus. to supplement our recent pictorial View of the town of Gi‘innell, we present Gene Thompson's (That's right, he's now Astute Dean of Men) tour nl town: “Joe's While Spot is the first place to meet the eye on the use unl route downtown, The only word to describe Joe's is “Funca troiial". . .t-lei-e you can grab a quick hamburger when you can‘t hear the thought of gristly stew or watery macaroni in the dining room. “If you turn left after Joe’s. you find that Broad street unlulds be- iore you, as tar as the eye can 56%“) the railroad tracks. One block down Broad Street, we find the "square," a solid block of buildings with cars circling as found it “After seven pm, on any night at the week, these cars are driven by teen-age “soodsLa “seed” who is trying to be a “hood". . . They never drive in anything but second gear, so as to be able to slow down and stop for any dollie that might happen to come out of Davis’ Ice Cream parlor. “As you walk around the square, don’t miss the following attractions. The newstand (Yes- sir, that's Brownle's very own Varsity Book Store) is the center oi Gi‘innell intellectual activity, At last check, they were offering a wide variety of detective maga- zines with stories titled ‘Sin, Scandal, Sex, and Death' and ‘Fourteen Slashes in her Shortie Nightgown.’ “The Poweshiek bank, on the next corner, was designed by a famous architect named Sullivan, a pioneer in steelrand~concrete construction, who fancied that this bank should look like a brick vault. And it does, I guess, ex- cept for the little gold lions crawl- ing all over the front, “Turning right around the square: Wayne’s Steak House, where steaks are fine and the am- oer rluid flows treely, and Cun- ningham Drug, where everything is packaged neatly and displayed under glaring lights," (it you are looking for thosHi‘, steaks, Wayne's has rounded one more corner during the last lew years.

Friday to woo Coed Coroner. Catholic Curricula Bring ‘Dead' Issues To Campuses Must there be restrictions on academic freedom at Str John’s University because it is a Catholic school? The members of St. John's chap- [er of the American Association of Professors think not, but the university's president disagrees. At the heart of the issue is teaching procedures in the departments of theology and philosophy and other departments where the matters of faith and morals are vital to the curriculum. The professors called the limi- tations "a philosophy of education that is medieval in Spirit.” There- tore, they will not participate in any administrative decisions until given full academic teaching tree- dom, but the president of St. John’s has refused this request on the grounds that the college will not. remain Roman Catholic in its un- derlying philosophy. x< :I' a Janet Bond, a student at Mount l-lolyoke, has been elected coroner of Mercer County, NJ. Miss Bond solicited a write-in vote among a hundred triends and relatives, and their votes provided the margin or victory. Her functions and salary as core oner are nearly nonexistent. All on- achronistic law requires the office to be listed on the ballot, but all the duties of the coroner are now handled by a professional medical examiner. However. Miss Bond does retain the duty to examine bodies of shipwreck victims of Mercer County. Belay in Chapel The chapel service this Sunday will be given by Dirk Baay (Ger- man).
