He defines such a ministry as “availability and readiness to assist in all areas of student life.” The three major areas in which Mr. Haas will be involved are religious activities, teach- ing, and counseling. In all these areas, and' especially the latter, Mr. Haas will acquaint himself with the needs of the Students in order to better plan programs and not effectively on campus. He is looking forward to creat- ing new programs to supple- ment the ones now in operation. While he hopes to maintain many of the present programs, such as those carried on by the Board of Religion, he would like News Briefs Weekend Events There Will be double enter- tainment tomorrow night in the Forum with live music sched- uled for both the north lounge and the grill. The Bill McGinty Combo will play in the Grill while the Joe Morrisey Combo plays for dancing in the North Lounge. Both events begin at 9:30. In addition, a British film, “The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner,“ is scheduled for showing at 7:30 and 9:30 in ARH tomorrow. Quartet Concert The Lenox Quartet will pre- sent its first concert of the fall semester at Grinnell this Sun- day at a pm. in Roberts Thea. tre.

Art Exhibit “Nineteenth Century Draw- ings," an exhibition selected from the Emanuel Walter Col- Iection of the San Francisco Art institute, is now on display at the Scheaffer Gallery in the Fine Arts Center. Grinnell’s first art exhibition of the 1966-67 academic year, it includes works by several im< portant pro-impressionist ar- tists — Corot, Millet, Meis- soniet, Bonheur, Tlieodoie Rous- laeu, and Bouguereau. , Rica. to see if student interest suffi- ciently justifies their existence. Mr. Haas hopes to become ac- quainted with the needs of the Catholic and Jewish students on campus. He feels that ideally there should be a priest and a rabbi more available to work out personal problems that he might not be able to handle. In answer to a question about the religious activities on cam- pus being Protestantroriented, Mr. Haas replied that lt had been suggested to him to make chapel services more universal. He feels, however, that a serv- ice general enough to make no religious distinctions, but that would be rather a prayer ses- sion, would be so watered down as to be of no use to anyone. He would like to see non-Protes- tant programs if student inter- est warrants them. In particu- lar, there is a possibility of holding occasional Jewish Sah- bath services in the chapel, Mr. Haas was the chaplain last year at Franklin-Marshall College in Lancaster, Pennsyl- Vania, where he was an under- graduate, He earned his so. at Union Theological Seminary. 'Aufonomy for Councils': New North Campus Adviser In an effort to improve the North Campus society, academically and socially, two new resident advisers have been added to the men's hall structure. They join Terry Moore and Gene Kowert who are beginning their second year as advisers. Dave Johnson, adviser for North and South Younker and Smith, in addition will work as an as- Slstant in the history depart- ment. Johnson is currently studying for his PhD. in history at the University of Minnesota and has taken a year off for reading. Although it is still quite early in the academic year, Johnson already has some thoughts about the resident advisrr program and Grinnell society. He felt that the motive behind the resin dential advisor system has not been “clearly articulated by the admlnistration” thus bringing about a certain amount of dis- trust for the advisor among the students. As far as disciplinary action Johnson said the Dorm Councils should have complete autonomy in this area but that he might aid in the enloroe- ment of quiet hours. “I expected a closed society at Griiinell, and I was not dis- appointed," Johnson continued. “Upperclassmen have the notion that Grinnell is the centersofa the~universe and does not need improvement." He cited the fact that some of the classes at Grinnell are as large as lini- versity classes and emphasized the selfrconsciousness of stu» dents towards their college as unique. Paul Thurston, advisor for Clark and Dibble, is also a full- time student this year. Because Thurston worked last semester on a sociology project at Costa Rica, he had to return to com» plete his graduation require- ments. In addition he will assist in coaching Freshmen football, Along with eleven other stu- dents from colleges in the Mine west Conference, Thurston studied the problems of Costa Tivo Grinnell students with him were Nancy Moritz on a sociology project and Chuck Schnell doing work in biology. Thurston concentrated on the poverty in the capital San Jose, interviewing seventy- five iamilies and discussing their problems and the urban migration with them. Although he was only there six months, he thought that he had acquired very valuable field experience. Wall Speaks of Communiias The first convocation of the school year drew only minimal student attendance last Monday evening. Because of the importance of the two addresses delivered at the convocation the editors have reprinted below substantial axe Oerpts from Dr. Wall’s and the complete text of President Leggett‘s. The 5&B extends a special invitation for responsible student comr ment on these addresses. Deliver signed responses (typewritten. please) to the sen mail box. Th. Double Nature oi Renewal Or How to be Good to tho World Glenn legqett Students. Faculty, Friends of the College: As you students, for whom this convocation is chielly designed, know better than any of the rest of us, 1966 is a very difficult time to be a young person. The world not only appears to be in worse state than usual: its older in- habitants, who are at least part- ly to blame tor the sorry state of affairs and thus might wel- come the dignity oi their own silence, are likely to be rather noisy about what they call the frightful lack of proper ances- tral piety in the young. it is a remarkable irony, bearable to all of us only I suspect because of the natural affection of fathers and mothers for their children and, what is perhaps more important, because of the patient attempt at understand- ing that most of the young bring to the old. One hardly needs to offer much documentation about the condi- tion of the world. Anyone who feels and thinks and worries about his neighbors and him- self has available all sorts of evidence about the prevalence or violence and brutality and o: the catastrophes brought on by hypocrisy and hate. The sins of fathers are certainly being visited upon their sons, not only specifically in the tragedy or racial conflict but also genera ally in the whole tone of society. The costs of inhumanity and vulgarity have been steadily rising, and even in the short time between the start of dais school year and the end at the Lesson. (Continued on Page a) Communitos Joseph Well It is of this college cone munity, or communitas, as Paul and Percival Goodman use the term in the sense of the planned and puiposeiul com- munity, as seen from at least one faculty member's vantage point that I should like to speak this evening. Many of you who either were at the col- lege last spring or have had the opportunity to read his speech, Will immediately recog- nize that this theme of com munity was central to Fresh dent Leggett’s inaugural ad- dress. It would seem to me use- ful to address the large con- cerns for academic communi- ty, as expressed by President Leggett, to the specific prob- lems which we face in this par< ticular college. There are many, of course, who would tell us that the task we face is both impossible and futile. Like the late middle ages or the early romantic period, our society seems to be pre- occupied with the idea of death. But whereas the lath century man, with his drawings of grin- ning skeletons engaged in the danse macabre, was obsessed with individual mortality, and the early 19th century man was fascinated with the death of abstract ideas, we seem to lay emphasis upon the death of institutions. And second only in journalistic coverage to the death or God, which having made the cover of Time maga- WALL— (Continued on Page 9) Sunday In Chico go...
