Speakers Dominate Senate Session Leggett, Thompson Address Senators By DICK CHADY Student government ended a “bureau- oratic but necessary" phase Wednesday night by hearing tinal committee re- ports and special talks by President Leggett and Dean Thompson. About so other students attended the session, held Ill ARH auditorium, to hear the two addresses. After committee and cabinet reports, President Leggett told the group that he was ending the year “wiser but not sadder.” Speaking inrormally and with- out notes, he discussed the live proh- [ems faced by college presidents in gen- era! and himselr in particular. The first problem is that of support. Leggett said that because students pay Dilly 64.5 per cent of the total costs, the remaining amount must come ironl other sources. He said that what mo- tivates persons to support the college ls an interest in Grinnell as an cit-going institution, not whether or not it suits their notion of morality Quality, not pleasing conservative interests, is what ’ draws support in the long run.

It was a year that saw the word “in- volvement" assume almost sacred pm portions and nearly everyone wanted nearly everyone else to get involved, A group of hopeful lreshmen even started a committee based on involvement (The Grinnell Committee for Student Involve- ment). Presumably they became so in- volved in other things that this commit- tee quietly vanished from the Grinnell scene. Anyway, in keeping with the theme of involvement, another group of Grinnel~ . Status Quo' lians (the soecalled Des Moines Project) started work in the slums section of Des Moines. Outward signs or progress were few and whereas work over the summer had been one of the early plans that idea was dropped several weeks ago. Meanwhile, back on campus, North Campus, ils problem and what or what not to do about it dominated the local scene. With the spring came the new birth in student government. Everyone wanted change and no candidate ran on a plat- form at detending the status quo. A pro- liferation of committees were formed to discuss everything from radio stations to bookstores.

The proposals, which Steve Kent, SGK» president and memher ot the committee, said are “relatively modest structural innovations and improvements.” sug- gest that the college adopt a system whereby freshmen on North Campus draw {or rooms at the end of their freshmen year in much the same way all women do on South Campus. Alter drawing a room tor their sopho- more year, the male student would be allowed to remain in that hall for the rest ni his stay at Grinnell provided he wanted to. The propnsals suggest liberal- _ izmg the process by which a student can move from one hall to another. The proposals to Leggett say this new system would “have an ettect upon the closed-society aspects of some of the men's halls without destroying their traditional integration and seltegovern- ing independence." Kent, in commenting on this part or the proposal, said that it “will not dis« rupt in any appreciable way the living patterns developed by present men stu: dents." . Leggett will now consider these pro- posals — for they are no more than pm- posals — and then make the final decl- sion as to what action, it any, should be ‘AD HOC’— 1 (Continued on Page 5) .—__4 ADDRESS HEREl xog 653110;) Womew‘d 9! iqnd
