Page Two SCARLET AND BLACK House Cleaning»- The Scarlet & Black is cleaning house. The de- arture of the former editor calls for a reassessment of .he S&B role. This reassessment cannot be completed until the Board of Student Publications names its choice for new editor. In the meantime, however, sev- eral things seem clear. First, the 5&3 should continue to be a radical voice in the Grinnell community. It should not be afraid to step on the toes of administration and faculty, and it should also be prepared to step on student toes. The 5&3 editor and his staff members have access to more information about all aspects of the campus than any other group or individual. They should be pre- pared to use this information to expose weaknesses and promote strength throughout the community Second, the S&B should become a responsible voice in the community. Muckraking is sometimes necessary, but it can only be effective if the community has confidence in the reliability and honesty of the 8&3. Too often in the past the 58:8 has found itself in the role of the little boy who cried wolf. To overcome this role, the 5&3 must strive for accuracy and techni- cal strength, not sensationalism. Finally, the 58:3 staff should not be a social clique. Much about the nature of the S&B’s operation tends to foster a tightly knit staff. Nevertheless, in so far as it is technically feasible the S&B should be sup- orted by a large staff of interested students. It is up 0 the S&B leadership to encourage widespread par- ti ipation in the production of the paper; it is up to the student body to be ready to spend time and effort to make the S&B a strong voice in the community, These three areas, radicalism, responsibility and participation, seem from this viewpoint to be the most vital concerns of the S&B in the semester ahead. They have been sketched only broadly above. Hopefully, circumstances will make it possible to expand on them in the weeks to come. The first step must come Sunday night at the first staff meeting of the year. The im- portance of this meeting and the evidence of student support which the attendance will show cannot be stressed too heavily. If you care about the future of the Scarlet & Black and are willing to devote time and of» fort to its success, you will be in the S&B office at 8:30 pm. tomorrow.

All this took place when the government police surrounded a school where a group of anti-gov» emment Buddhists were having a meeting. All three networks, three wire services, and many news- papers were there — quite a gathering really. “Anyway, they told us to leave and we said no. They don’t like in have their handling or disslr dents photographed (they are none loo gentle). “About our ambassador: The re- porter that got beat up was British and Within two hours after notify- ing the British Embassy the em- bassy filed a very slrong note of protest. The next day another of our photographers, Steve Van Meter, got beat up. We notified the American officials and they said that they would look into it. They never did do anything. The embassy and high military people don’t like newsman, I’m afraid." nodierne says that as of yet he is in no position to comment ex- pertly on the Vlet Nam situation, “I didn’t really come here to do that.” He went on to say, “All my previous expectations about life here were wrong. Before I came over I read nothing which pre- pared me ior this place, it's such a complete shift from the 11.5. in almost every respect. People try to understand it in terms oi U.S. standards, which simply do not apply.” In early July Hodierne was wounded, though not very serious- ly. while out on patrol with an American armored column. “I was riding in this personnel car- rler (APC) and our artillery was iiring protective rounds along the jungle on either side of the road (keeps Charlie back away from us and helps protect us from amr bushes).

During summers he worked {or radio siarion WAIK in Galesburg, Illinois on the news staff.

Somedays I don’t even get up. And he got up and got killed." 5&3 Hodleme wrote, “You may see a notable increase in concern about things that happen outside our sequestered Skinner box on the prairie. You may, in tact, find an editor who is quite bored with things that have concerned campalgning editors ol bygone days. l'm not likely to become up- set about SGA elections and the like." Hodieme often expressed his discontent With college life at Grinnell and wrote several col~ umns and editorials in Ihe 5&1} about this. In one he wrote of a nineteen-year—old soldier who was shot in a Viet Cong ambush: “Hel woke up knowing that he’d he go- ing out where they wanted him Hodierne was very much Cour cerned about what people his own age were doing, in places other than Grimell, From Da Nang he Wrote: Every: one ought to know the s—- life a G I has over here and see the kind of frustrating problems that our government officials face. Every- one, too, ought to get someplace where he’s really afraid for his life. There’s nothing to it but to do it — which you can all record all my motto." He concluded that letter, "l can see Very clearly that in a year or so I’m going to want to finish my B. A. I think maybe even a litlle graduate work. I'm impressed With my ignorance." large Crop of leilermen Favors Bright Grid Season With a team built around 21 let- termen, Grinnell is expected to be in the thick of what shapes up as the Midwest Conference’s wildest football race in years, The lettermen comprise more than half of the 40-man Squad which began drills last week. The Pioneers open their season against Cornell at Mt. Vernon Sept. 24. Twenty of the veterans were members of last year’s club, which won six of eight games to place second in the loop. The let one lettered in 1964, but missed lasl season while on an off-campus study project, "This year’s race should be a real battle,” says Pioneer Coach Edd Bowers. “Defending champ ion Ripon has to get the nod, Grin- uell, Belolt, Lawrence, and St. Olaf all have a good chance to un- seat the Reilmen. And Carleton Cue, and Cornell will be tough too. “We should be better than last year because ui our experience and could be very good,” Bowers noted, but [lien cautioned, “we could also hnish with a poorer record because of the high level of competition." Bowers has experienced gridders returning at every posllioh, with the heaviest concentrations at and (six letlel'men), guard (four), tear kle and halfback (three apiece), and fullback (two). The big trouble spots are line- backer, where all-conference per- formers Tom Lannom and Paul Thurston must be replaced, and quarterback, where Barry Ander- son, who set four Pioneer career passing marks, has departed. Veteran Rich Weeks and sopho- more Tom Lower are expected to Scarlet and Black GRINNELL Grlliiiell, Iowa battle for the quarterback lob. Both are ranked as better run- ners than passers, so one of Bow- ers’ major tasks will be to de- velop an aerial game to go along with an anticipated strong ground attack. The Pioneers will again he on the small side — only four of ihem lop 200 pounds — but will be quick. ‘We did a good job of compen- sating for our lack of size with the quickness last year and I think we can do the same this fall,” Bowers stated. 5&3 Needs Help The first staff meeting or the new school year will be held in the 5&3 office in the north end of the Forum Basement nr s 0 tomorrow evening. All in» terested students are urged to attend. Due to the departure or (he former editor, the 5&3 is un— dergoing many changes in staff and procedure and many op- portunities exist for sludents with journalistic interest. No previous experience is nec- essary and freshmen as well as upperclassmeii are needed. 5&3 Needs Editor The Board of Publicalions is now accepling applications for 5&3 editor to complete the va- cated term of Bob Hodieri-ie.
