By eating with them, i am able to get somewhat better iood than I would be getting in the local canteens, pllis the fact that there is a lot less chance of me getting sick. After lunch I came back to my room for a short rest and a look at my new TIME magazine, which comes every Saturday. TIME might not be the greatest maga- zine in the world, but I read it from cover to cover every week, because it is the only written news I have that tells me about what is taking place in America, ' besides the iniormation sent [a me every once in a while by the United States Information Service. I am able to listen to radio broad- casts from Voice of America and the British Broadcasting System, as well as English language broadcasts from India, Pakistan, and China on a radio the college has loaned me, so I do have other sources of news. I also get an lndian newspaper, which tells me what is happening in India, but not much about the rest: of the world. At about 3 pm i got up and started to wash my clothes. One either sends his clothes to laun- drymen (dhohis), who beat the clothes against rocks or cement beside a waterhole to get them clean, or does them himself with the use of buckets of cold water and detergent. I use the latter method for most of my clothes. However, I do usually send my shirts and trousers to the dhobi, because he does iron them after he finishes beating them against the rocks. After doing the laundry, I de- cided to straighten up my room a little bit. Since I live right next to the college hostels (dormitories), I do have various college servants that come to my room each day to do various cleaning jobs. One cleans the bathroom every day; another sweeps the floor about every third day; still another one brings me good drinking water. makes my bed, and shines my shoes. However, there are certain other jobs, like dusting the furni- ture and straightening up my books, which must be done by me or they don’t get done at all. This means that most of the time they don’t get done at all. but once in a while I do get around to doing these tasks. At 4:30 this Saturday afternoon a Catholic priest was scheduled to talk to the college Student Christa ian Movement. The SCM is made up of all the Christian Protestant students that go to school here and is quite active, at least com- pared to any similar groups at Gl‘innell, Since I am an adviser to this group, at about 4:25 I took the bicycle the college has loaned to me and pedalleti over to the college’s beautiful new chapel. When 1 arrived, the guest speak- er was there, but not a student was in sight. However, there was no reason to panic, for such things otten happen around here. Even in my psychology class, which is sup- posed to start at 7:30, I am never able to start until 7:40 or even later because the students don’t arrive until then. After about It) minutes to 5:00, torty or so students had arrived, so We were able to start the priest's talk.

IOWA soliz "Something New Every Day'- to participate in the chapel ser- vice tomorrow. Students read the scripture lessons at the English language chapel services each Sunday morning, and it is my job to see that the English used by them when they read is reason- ably understandable. This is an easy job with some of the stu- dents, but with others I have to work quite hard and often never really do succeed. After spending about half an hour with these students, I was free to go back to room, talk to some of the students informally, and listen to the radio. A little later, I went over to the Guest House for my evening meal. After my meal I walked over to the middle of campus to watch an old Gary Cooper movie which was be— ing shown outside to the college students, Marathi, Hindi, or Eng- lish movies are shown on many weekends during the year. When the movie was over, I went back to my room, recruited some of the members of the hostel English Society, and they and I hustled over to the auditorium and stage where we worked on a couple of skits that were going to be put on for Hostel Day on De- cember 4th. The English Society is a group of boys who are trying to learn how to speak and think in English better. Some of them know English quite Well; others have trouble expressing themsel- ves in simple sentences. They used to meet with me two or three nights a week to hold dis— cussions and give talks in Eng- lish. Now we are working togeth- er in order to figure out: how to put on some skits for the rest of the boys in the hostel. After a short practice, we all walked downtown to one of the restaurants there so that we could have some lunch. India has a great variety of sweet and spicy snacks. Although a few are a little too spicy tor the Western tongue, most of them are Very delicious. TD- night I had some "gulab jambu“, which are little egg-shaped wheat cakes drenched in sugary syrup. or course, as usual, a cup of tea an companied the snacks. Then it was time to head back to the col- lege. The boys split up, Some went to bed; others had studying to do. As ior myself, I can hardly keep my eyes open. And when 1 think about tomorrow morning, I am all the more ready for bed. Two col< lege boys from one of the color-tul nomadic tribes that populate rur» 31 India, have promised to call at my room at 6:30 am. and take me to visit. some of their tribes- Page Seven Goddard Explains Proposed lie-vamp; Efficient, Effective By GERALD GODDARD SGA President It Is the business of student gov- ernment above all else to govern as efficiently and as effectively as possible within the context of the campus community. This must be Its major task and it 15 toward this end that student government must move In the next few weeks, The Executive Cabinet proposed to the Senate Wednesday a plan for general student government reorganization which will reduce the personnel and steps which now impede a rapid response to im- mediate problems. This plan re- places the Senate with a joint council of the AWS Board and the CofI-IP and transfers to this council the present Senate functions of policy- tormation, budgeting, and nominations. The result is that those who are most immediately affected by changes in student gov- ernment policy, the Cam? and the AWS Board, will play a total role in the formation of that policy. The structure of student govern- ment is changed to the working realities of the existing system, concentrating power over policy in those groups, the AWS Board and CofHP, who actually carry on the important business of stu- dent government at Grinnell. The functions of the SGA Presi- dent and the Executive Cabinet Will remain the same as under the pre— sent system. They will continue to serve as liason between student government and college oitioials, and coordinate the work of the various offices and Committees of student govemment. After lengthy discussion in the Senate over the court system, it was tentatively decided to retain the present system of three inde- pendent courts rather than inte- grate the primary court tunction into the joint council. The Executive Cabinet proposed these changes in very general form men who are camping on the out- skirts of town. It will probably be a very enjoyable experience, but a good sleep in my bed seems like it would be an even more en- joyable experience right now. So, aiter l iinish writing this last Sen~ teuce, t can take a quick bath using the bucket of water that is now heating on nty stove, and then I can settle down on my hard bed to dream about television, choice beef steaks, hot Water heaters, and homogenized milk, all of which seem more like a tigment at my imagination than anything that really exists. l’enneul ALWAVS FIRST OUALlTV WELCOME BACK STUDENTS Many Cold Weather Needs STOGKING GAPS — HOODED PARKAS ‘ GLOVES "Always First Quality" Rule Is Goal in order that objections could be considered beiore specific amend- ments to the Constitution were drafted.

Lee Schmidt was confirmed as student auditor, and Dan Macon was okayed as assistant auditor. Chuck Wall was elected to the post of SGA treasurer; he replaces Andy Bushnell. . A resolution to subsidize SGA presidential candidates for their. campaign expenses was defeated. During the discussion on the matter, Senator Roger Clow noted that there was no way of limiting the number of candidates and that any number might run just to collect the subsidy. Cllrls Peterson countered Clow’: contention. saying, “I don’t see that there is a chance that so many people will run, because they aL ways stand a chance oi be- ing elected.” The proposal was defeated.
