President Leggett sent the letter that is published below to Jerry Goddard, Student Government President. >i< >i< Dear Mr. Goddard: i Very shortly, I expect to receive from the faculty its proposal on the residence-hall system, and when I do, I should like it to be carefully considered by a com— mittee of faculty and students, a committee which, in turn, would make recommendations to me about the fireposal. Such a committee, which We can call the Ad 0c Committee on the Residence Hall System, is to be chaired by Dean Winters, with yourself as ,co-chairman and to consist of three faculty persons nominated by Dean Winters and three students nominated by you. Will you, accordingly, give me your nominations, which you can select in any way you think appropriate? ' I expect that Deans Slocum and Thompson will be asked to meet with the committee frequently, and I think you may want to ask the AWS president, Miss Chris Peterson, and the Chairman of the House Presi- dents, Mr. Nick Nonas, to serve in a similar capacity ‘ Hopefully, the Ad Hoc Committee will be able to give me its recommendations Within six or eight weeks, so that a decision can be announced before the semes- ter is over. Work on the committee will require a good deal of dedication and perception, as well as good will and understanding. I know you agree with me that it is _very important to the College that the task be done SCARLE Doug McCormlic ND BLACK y 25 nu The Grudge Pot (Continued from last week) Minnie Twerp had been wandering blindly tor days in the dark tunnel, and already she had shrunk another inch, Slle lrcmbled and wept at the thought oi disappearing lorever in h mouse hole, and wildly she struggled in regain even her old, iamiliar basement cell. Suddenly, a “click, click, click” echoed in the blackness behind herd Toenails! Rats! Hordes Di clawed, sharp-toothed, vicious, mangy rats were galloping inexorably, fatally inward her. Their heady eyes appeared like not red coals in the distance, and their warm stinking breath swept like a wind before them. The rhythm of their claws. the panting, an almost musical mumbling increased (0 unbearable intensity. Minnie ran, and tell, She ran again and came to a dead end. The savage creatures were upon her, and she heard distinctly their bestial grunts. “Hi»ho! Hi-ho! it's off to Steal we go!” A dwarf- lSl1 hand lit a tiny lantern, and Minnie Twerp saw twelve ugly, cheerful little Wretches in mouse-hide coats carrying mounds oi glittering rubies, My goodness, but. you gave me a fright," sighed Minnie. After the Dozen Dwarls had led Minnie Twerp to their quaint cottage and she had ireshened up a bit, they showed her a huge bed covered by a iilmy veil. The curtain was drawn, revealing the hand somest prince that ever creased a Sadly-Posture- pedic. Minnie at once knew her role. and the dwarfs helped her onlo rhe luxuriant spread. She crawled across the prince’s forehead and made an innocent peck at his mouth. Even now, she could almost taste the charmed apple upon his lips, The somber snoring ceased. The prince yawned and nearly swallowed Minnie Twerp. As she held for dear liie onto his nose, she saw the lllrny eyelids open to a new — renewed — lire. "om my iairy princess," said he, grabbing her about the ankles and holding her in his adoring sight, “it only our lover’s lips could meet, 1 gladly would a thousand years~a thousand lifetimes of empty wakeiuliiess trade for that one embrace." lie caught a tear on one linger and pushed back her mussed hair “But i never hissed you. i missed,” conicssed M'nnie. “1 know, most radiant maidr i never was asleep. it was a gimmick to ensnare a beautiful lass, and behold, what success! Now let your warm my lips lose their innocence.” As the lovers kissed the prince turned mm a frog. “My lord,” said Minnie in amazement, “linw comes this transiiguratlon?” “Croak, croak," replied the prince in frustration. Minnie paused, then smiled wonderiuliy. “My lord, my lord! This emerald skin, these eyes bright- er than the disks of harvest moons, lips enough tor is dozen lovers and legs lo make an athlete green with envy — all these are blessings in disguise Now, you are my size. We are equal. We are one!” The frog tenderly took the princess in his arms. Hts quavering llps slowly paned as they neared, and involuntarily he let out another croak, The Dozen Dwarfs, Minnie Twerp, and the Frog prince all laughed wilh joy, and rho royal couple hopped on logeiher. in a few years, of course, Minnie finally dis- appeared altogether, but the marriage had been pure bliss while it had lasted. And her demise did not matter all that much, anyway, since irogs don't live too long either. Letter Criticism Continues ‘Disenchanted Parent' Tagged ‘Naive’; 5&8 Hit for Lack of 'Meatiness' Telephone Speech To Include Pepper A telephone dialogue wiih ilis author or a classic work in mud- ern metaphysics will be held on thoughtfully and well. :k :k :k Glenn Leggett Goddard said that he hopes to have his nominations for the Ad Hoc committee by Monday or Tuesday. After the committee makes its recommendations the finzll decision will, of course, be made by Dr. Leg- gett, It was pointed out, however, that should the com- mittee be deadlocked at the end of the six or eight weeks, no decision could be made this year, 613 Vote Yes For New Senate The Senate reorganization plan was accepted wilh obvious approv- al by the voting siudeni body in Monday's election. The final vote count was 613 for the plan and 102 ugainsl. Tl: e are {our major areas of clia-ge in the revamp idea. First, the referendum calls for an in- crease in the number of senators from each hall. Tile hall will have [Wt] or thlee seiialcirs depending on the number of sludenis living in the hall. No hall will have fewer than two senalors. Second, There Will now be a Speaker of ihe Senate who will be noni'naisd by llie so»r pl‘CiSldElil and approved by the Senate. Any additional nominations must have a second from one third of the Senate. The entire Senate will Vote on the Speaker. Third, any changes in rules must originate in me Executive Council, 'that is, the Coil-1P and lhe AWS Board. These mics must meet with the approval or the Senate. Finally, Batileboald members will now be allowed to run {or the Senate. The reorganization plans will go into efiect ailei- spring vaca» tion when newly~elected officers will assume incir rcsprciive gov- erliillg posiiioiis. To the Editor: This letter is I replyrla two letters in last week's 5&3. The first, sent by a disenchanted plr- ent, raises some rather apparent doubt as to whom the term “naive" an be hpplicd. 'rhis por- ent prefers anonymity » fear of retribution or only distaste or IC- tual involvement? The parent wishes to make the exceptions (“bottles under pillows . . . bodies around dark comers”) into the rule, Perhaps. it this pnrcyit would document his highly irrational out» burst with more than einouvoly charged phrases, someone would take ihe letter seriously. Perhaps, also, this parent doesn‘t realize that the dephrlure of many profess sors is for much more complex reasons: many times faculty-ad- minislraliou conflicl rather than iacully-sludcnl conflict. in number letter, Steve Eber- liardi mentions the “carnivorous (lock or letter vultures" who reply to 5&8 publications. i wonder why he calls them omnivorous; this as Suincs that there is any meal to be found and devoured. Tile sad; is rleiinilely lacking meatiness. There seems to be a general Coils sensiis oi feeling in this direction. For example, the iwo letters, one criticizing the 5&1: oiili-ighi, the other hinling it a pa 'ble drop in ciioctivciicss, an ai cle sug- gcsling more crilicisiii from news paper editors. and the SGA con- vention jag vote of "no Votes tor the 5&3" all point that way. It does report the news: it does puh- lish letters. But why does the sails seem to be cxliihiling this general iorni iii iiierlia which the Gl'inncll student blillicly calls apathy? l lliink llic answer finds its ground in the studpnl, himself: apathy is not a mass phenomcna but a high 1y individual one. The individual who is unwilling to put his opin- ions and feelings up lo general ' comment is the one who is anathes tic, ioi- lie fears lic‘ g forced in change. it is up to the individual to respond in the needs of the campus, including the lailure or the newspaper. ir the Grinnell community wishes to see the coll- cept or journalism on this campus change it is not by criticism alone, silent or not, but through con- structivo Arid outspoken sugges— tiol-i. My suggestion is that each member or the Grinnell communi- ty, in whatever mlnner he is able, respond. Paul R‘ Jones Forgive Disrespect Not News Omission To the Editor: Disrespectful rnd rebellious articles by students don't bother me, nor do carping letters rrom parents,‘ but suppression or the news is another matter!
