Inaugural Events Will Honor President teggett Address Will Concern Role Of Individuals in College Community Weekend Feature: A Milli Original By JUDY SCOTT BBtG has had to stretch its in- genuity for the Inaugural Week- end. At first it seemed a small request: find a 400 foot canopy, needed to run [mm the science building to Darby tor Sunday‘s procession as protection against possible rain. According to Physical Plant Di- rector Evan Walden, there was no canopy to be found ill Waterloo, Des Moines, or anywhere else in Iowa or its neighboring slates. After the fruitless search, B&G constructed one using wood sup- ports and a polyethylene covering Despite Walden's iii-st illtent to get a “candy - striped, or some such iancy one,” B&G's own cre- ation ivas originally designated to be painted black. Then black was rejected as too ”iunei'alish”; white was the next possibility but was also thrown out as being too blar' g The final decision was a luscious, light olive green which should blend in nicely with the general complexion color of the inaugural participants it the wea- ther does turri toui. Then again, since the canopy is one of the biggest expenses tor the weekend it would almost be a shame if it did not, at least, lightly sprinkle. DR.

One pro- iessor said that perhaps the issue is not that too many prolessors are leaving, but that too few are leaving. The reasoning behind this is that a moderate turnover or faculty members indicates the willingness of the college to seek new ideas. One professor went on to say that this does not necessarily mean that there is dissatisfaction with the existing staff, as can be seen by the consistently high qualr ity of the faculty Another observation made was that there was not a problem oi faculty moi-ale involved in the pres sent turnover. it was, of course, admitted that a person would not leave a position if he were pet: iectly satisiied with the position and wanted nothing more. Howard D to (philosophy and religion) said that it would be far less than candid to say that there are not seine personal reasons ior depai» lure. However, it was noted that the reasons behind the changes tiid not come down to personal difr terences or conllicis between the specitic iaculty member and his Staif, the administration, or Slu- deiltsi The issue also does not. in- volve salary dissatisractioit; the salary scale at Grinnell is definite ly on a competitive scale with any other liberal arts college or com parable size. it was categorically stated by several pi-otessoi-s tllat linancial problems were not a part TURNOVER— (Continued on Page 7) canker, tBLACK-i‘ Oldest College Newspaper were or the Mississippi Vol. LXXlll Grinnell. laws.
