Encampment is here. Soon encampment will be gone. Perhaps a few of us lucky enough to attend in per- son will retain a few precious memories of what goes on there. But, hopefully, and only hopefully, more will me of this encampment than just a few memories. opefully, this encampment will serve as the germinal event it was meant to her In order for such a happy turn of events to occur, a genuine effort must be made by the participants in the encampment to arrive at some concrete, printable ideas, ideas which can serve as a jumping off point in the struggle to define the “Grinnell Idea." These ideas must be more than just a few dry pages of post office throwaway. A way must be found to pre- serve the vitality of the encampment experience and bring it back home to the “troops.” lf this way is not found, encampment will remain the irrelevant activity it has so far been — irrelevant in the sense that the 1140 students and 100 faculty who aren’t there never benefit froin it—irrelevant in the sense that it smacks of the “splendid rhetoric” about which President Leggett has warned us. And when the task of making encampment relevant begins to bog down amidst the apparent apathy of those who stay home, we cannot throw up our hands and cry defeat. The battle must be pressed or the Grinnell Idea Isn’t worth the trouble and expense of going to Boone in the first place. tellers . . . S&B Goals To the Editor: The live or us who prepared last week’s article on our LeMoyne experience would like to clarify some edi< tonal errors and protest the manner in which the Sari! Sta.“ handled the article. We realize that newspaper articles seldom appear in print exactly as written because the mechanics ol journalism re- quire some cutting and reword- ing, But no editor should a) insert things not included by the authors, b) carelessly change "wording” in such a way as to render the author’s statements incorrect or insulting. and c) sublieadline the article With a halfrtruth which will be seen by many people who do not read the entire article. Although there are other er- rors or lesser importance we would like to straighten our two in particular, for the benefit of Grinnell r e a d e r s and iriends who may read the ar- ticle. First, the exchange teacher in the picture was from the university or lowa, not Southern Illinois University. Second, the word “squalor" in column two was definitely not included in the original article It “squalor" was observed by membels of the SH? staff, who we realize have also par» ticipated in the LeMoyne pro- gram, this and any other ob- servation should be presented in another article under their own names—J. Poland, A. Rosr man, P. Stern, L. Thnman, and Er Lancer Proiect Penelrates To the Editor: In an age dom- lnated by electrically Operated devices, it seems only natural that contemporary artistic cul- ture should also experience some degree of electrification. Electric motors and lights have unquestionably added the di- mension of temporality to ma- dcrn painting and sculpture. Music, too, has thrived on elec- tricity. Not only have radios and phonographs inadc music gcn» erally available, but musicians have successfully employed amplifiers and tape recorders lo produce sounds, the likes of which could never be made without electrical assistance. Milton Babbitt of Princeton University has expressed the no- tion that electronic music has extended the bounds of music writing. Whereas in the past, composers were limited by the physical capabilities of the per farmers, the limits of electronic music lie in the ability of the human ear to pErceive. At their recent concert in Darby Gymnasium a group of gay young men known as the Blues project demonstrated that Professor Babbitt had not been entirely accurate, The sounds produced electrically by this group bypassed the listener's our and penetrlted the Very bowels of the man. whereupon they turned his stomach. — D.

Dan wunn-y SCARLET AND BLACK Animal Behaviour Neil Flscher F 'day, September )0. l9“ Tip Your Waitress? Much as I hate to admit it, the power or the press — at least on the Grinnell campus - is confined to critical sugges- tions. And irom there it is generally up to the student body of readers to take action of one kind or another. The 5&3 has in the past proliererl a host at sugges- tions for various improve- ments on campus but all too often what takes place is an uniortunaie syndrome some- thing like this: When editor- ials are of a critical, some- times even sarcastic nature, we are applauded. “Did you mad what the paper said a- bout Saga? The 58.3 really ripped it apart." “Yeah,” says your friend, “and I really do think Saga workers should get more mon- ey'n But when criticism is of a positive kind, interest all but expires before the altar of ap- Ed. mm The following essay is the first installment of what is hoped to be a cori- linuing series in the 5&3. The 5&8 welcomes responsible ex- pressions of opinion from members at the student body in the form of short (400-501) words) essays of this type. Subject matter is unimportant as long as the subject is somehow relevant to Student life. Any student wishing to submit such an essay should first query the editor of the 5&3. By STEPHEN SHENDER Perhaps one or the most tragic outcomes of Mr. John- son’s consensus — ridden “Great Society” is the nearly total ab- sence of serious discussion on the ’66 Election‘s most crucial issue —— the war in Viet Nam. With only a low exceptions _- Hatfield in Oregon being the most outstanding — the Viet Nam issue has been silenced in electoral compaiyls throng out the country. it there is i deed is substantial portion of the electorate opposed to our Vietnamese policy, it appears that it will have little chance to express itself in November. The candidacy of Urban- thlc High School science teacher Charles Day for the [1.5. Senate is one 0! the few exception to an otherwise gloomy political picture. Mr. Day is winning squarely on a peace ticket, and his pre- sence in the election gives Iowa voters, at least, a real opportunity to express lhem- selves on Viet Nam. Unfor- tunately, Mr. Day‘s pros- pects tor subsmntiai success are about as depl'essin" as the political context in which he finds hinis’elfr Mr. Day himself freely admits tl "t his chances- or being ciccm c ahout one hundred to one.” ll this amblllous electoral ei- athetic languor. This time I have some constructive criti< cism, and I’m hoping you will take the appropriate positive ac- tion. Each of your Saga wait. resses and busboys has no wait on an average of live tables at sitdown dinner, and oven so the service -— if nothing else — is usually pretty liiir. And tor their trouble or veritably whizziiig back and forth between five tabla, these hardy souls are -— as previously noted — paid the fantastic sum of eighty« eight cents. Two Ihings are obvious about this situation. The first, point< ed out in our September 16 issue, is that it is insuiierahle. The second, obvious to all who luave ever tried to fight the mess at city hall or the ex- isting administrative order, is that Saga is not going to do anything about it. Guest Column So id like you to do something about it: Tip your waitress. it each at the pa: sons at sitdown dinner would tip his waitress in nickle, the Wages or these suttcring Saga servants would be more than doubled. Now I doubt it you would even notice that nick- 1e, but — as sure as Saga Chuck smiles a lot —- your waitress and hushoy will no- tice its we might as well tip as we do in a real restaurant where real Waitresses serve real food. A good nile tor tipping, I am told, is fifteen per .it at the total value ot the meal. While I realize that a nick- ie is u good deal more than fifteen perc-t in this case, I hope that you will have the pathos to leave a tip at sit- down tonight. rd like to see you make this tipping a tradition. I’d like to see you lake 3 little action. ay's Daylight fort falls to bear any real imit, it will not be as much due to weaknesses in the can- didate’s image and delivery (and indeed these are numer- ous — Mr. Day is bookish, quiet, occasionally given to glaring grammatical errors, and about as inspiring a speak- el' as President Johnson him- self) as it will be due to weak- nesses in the candidate’s pock- et book. While there may be many voters ill Iowa who would gladly vole for just a- bout anybody who is willing to take a stand in opposition to the war, Mr. Day’s resources are so severely limited that it seems unlikely Lhat he will be able to reach most of them. His organization, Peace In- dependents, just does nut have the capital needed to [mid the kind of media » saturation Cam- paign required to overcome the large leads held by wellr founded and well»publlcized Democratic and Republican can- didates. Thus, it is not unlikely that in the final tallies this November, Mr. Day’s voles Will be only an un atement or his potential support. Mr, Day and his backess are well aware of this, and console themselves with the statement that they are “building for ’68" ~ but for what? A lot can hap- pen ln two years, and at the rate we are escalating, one wonders if it will be possible for anyone to advocate peace the next time around. The iS- sue (7i Viet Nam isvhere and now — not on in some cloudy electoral future. V It IS hard not to admire Mr... Day — as outwardly unimpres- Sive as he is — for he is a man who is Willing to take his convictions serimsly and hear a greater than average amount of personal sacrifice to carry these convictions to the public. AS an out - of - state voter one can only stand on the sidelines and Wish him well, for he is, in his own small way, serving more than the voters of Iowa— he is serving the electorate oi the nation. .
