And then the phone calls started coming to the College officials, The Associated Press told the Sari} they felt at first they were getting the "rurharound" by the college when nobody knew any- thing about the “demonstration.” Soon they realized that tew here were aware of a protest. But pret- ty soon people tound out and the stories started going out. Stories went to the AP and United Press International. Stories went out to radio sta- , tions KIOA, WHO, KRNT, WDI, and, not least of all, KGRNI College otticials were quietly hoping that the story would be used one day in Iowa papers and on radio stations and forgotten But behold the power of the wire services: A radio picked it up.

In his opening speech Monday, Wittgrat emphasized, "The stu- dent has the responsibility and should have the right to contribute to the iormation of academic and administrative policy because he is the primary element of the educa» linnal communityr Student govern- ment in the past has not realized the full implications of its respon- sibilities in these policy and pro gram decisions. “I would like to see Grinnell students gaining a more meaning- ful voice in the functioning of their college. I will work towards a student-faculty council, which would have broad advisory and policy - deciding responsibility in all areas or concern to the college. it is time ior students and taculty to wnrk together in those areas of mutual concern rather titan dupli- cating each others eitorts,” witt- grai Continued.
