We think it’s time the paper’s name represents what it’s sup- ed to —— the college newspaper. Most newspaper names signify. two or three words, the locale oi the paper and the fact that it relates the news, to. the Milwaukee Journal, the Antioch Record, the Yale Daily News, and the London Times. The present name. Scarlet or Black, falls a little short on both counts. Nobody knows What the colors mean, We think the Grinnell College paper should have a name more In keeping with the serious character or the school. Colors might be lino tor telling toothell teams apart, but they have little sig- nificance to the present day Grinnell College School colors, like high school and the old Grinnell May Day celebrations, are pretty much a thing of the past. Even the staid old Alumni Scarlet & Black is going to change its name and format in the near future. The start has considered naming the paper the Griiineu Journal or the Grinnell Weekly; however, we are open to iurther sug- gestions. Submit ideas to the 5&1! box in the post office.

Weekend Movie A Hutful of Rain This weekend’s i i l m is. directed by Fred Zinneman. starring Don Murray. Eva Ma- i-ie saint, and Anthony Fran- close. Zinnernan has imbued his film with an emotional inten- sity not often found in motion pictures. A very believable por- trait at human shame and ago iiy is presented here in a story or a young married man’s addiction to narcotics. Free trom the lurid, surrealistic at: mosphere which too olten per- vades such attempts, A Hat- In! or Rain is a strikingly honest and powerful movie. It was filmed on New York’s East Side. stotley Carmichael. Leggett said the service build- ing wtll be located north of loth Avenue and east of the Chicago & Northwestern Rail— Way tracks. Construction work will begin sometime this spring. The separate central heating plant already under construc- tion Will be completed as soon as weather permits. The present service building- heating plant, which was con- structed on the central cam- pus in 1910, will be demolished upon completion of the two new structures The college is also in the process of planning additional new lacilities, said Leggett. These include a million dollar Women’s residence hall which is to extend out irorn Loose l-lall along 3th Avenue, on es- timated nine hundred thousand dollar central dining hall to he built between Darby and the railroad tracks, and a one floor reception hall to he located between Haines and James at an approximate cost or titty thousand dollars. in previous meetings on Nov- ember 5 and s, the trustees approved a $14,000 iund tor an Alumni Directory which will be issued every couple of years.

Senate Satire To the Editor: 1 respoctiuliy suggest that in her letter last week Miss Cuss- ler completely missed the point of my senate satire and the pointlessness of the revolution- lry Speech. My article was directed at those individuals who are more concerned with meaningless rhetoric and 19th century clich- es, 6. g. “social upheaval," than with a specific discussion of issues that contront this col~ loge, it was directed against those who uncritically accept such cliches and act without clearly - defined and me an- ingrul goals. it was directed against an absurd intensity tor words rather than for sub- stance, and against an absurd manner engendered by that misplaced intensity. Finally, it was written hecausa it we take student government too serious- ly, is we don‘t laugh at our mis- takes and correct them, we will never stop talking in clichei tind the administration will nev- er stop laughing. Those like me, who tire easi- ly oi cliches, want “meaning- rul dialogue,” Ind want some specilic issues to he examined critically. We want ii priority assigned to those issues, one that ippreciates Grinnell’s aca- demic 1ailures, such as poor teaching and crowded class- rooms, as well as its social tail- ures. We want innit disclu- sions, not intellectual poln< posity. Whether our revolutionaries “succeed” or not doesn‘t in. terest me. Their goals do. Last Week's “Open Letter" by the "Group" was a helptul and posi- tive act. Hopefully, we've dis- pensed with cliches; now let’s speak and act specilically and intelligently, and perhaps with a little hut. tr. Meanwhile, 1 would like to cordially invite Miss Cussler up to my room (1032 East) this Sunday atternoon. Per- haps we could plore the possih “slap-happiness.” non WinneY Letters concerning the PE. sampler will be print- ed in next week: 5&3. Reply to Prof. Fletcher To the Editor: Protessor Fletcher’s letter in last week’s 8&3 certainly merits attention hy those who signed the statement of two weeks ago and the open letter to President Leggett of last week. The oarhcd levity at Mr. Fletcher’s choice of quotation leads me to suggest a selection from the Marxist-inninlst canon which may indicate that the method of citation is as humor» ous as it is endless. One quota- tion which suggests itselt is Lenin’s attack on Zinoviev and Kamenev in October 1917 tor their (ailure to support the planned insurrection: i . . to remain silent in the race of such unheard of strikebreaking would he a crime. The more serious the practical problem, and the more responsihle and “promi. nent” the persons guilty oi strike-breaking, the more dangerous it is, the more resolutely must the strike- breakers he ejected, and the more unpnrdonahle would it he to hesitate even in con- sideration or the past “ser- vices” of the rtrikshrenkers. (Lenin, Selected Worlis, v.1! part i, p. 191.) Dr: The Proleetarian nevolu- lion and the Renegade Kautsky. Such citations are, or course, amusing, and may satisfy une’s penchant toi- pedantry, hut the process of reasoning is very reminiscent ol the scholastic approach to Marxism While such historical par- allels are interesting it is un- fortunate that prolessor Fletch- er took the phrase “What is to he done" out oi the context which was given it in the sen- iite speech. This sontrihutes to a general misunderstanding of the issues involved and may lead to truitless polemic. Per- haps it is unfortunate that the speech ended with that phrase, but the greater misfortune ii that the phrase was used by Mr. Fletcher is a pretext for dialectical acrobatics, The phrase was chosen to reflect the sense or irustrstion which many students feel, not to re- call the content ot several generations of Russian radical- ism. After all, as Protessor Fletcher linowi well, the phrase "what is to he done was used to express their trustrition ind demand tor change. Needless to say Lenin’s adoption or that phrue did not indicate his adoption of the previous radicals programs. The adoption oi that phrase here does not commit those who use it to “revolution” in the sense that Lenin understood the term. Mr. Fletcher also describes the group as “selfrstyled revo- lutionnries.” This indicate. clearly — even beyond tho manner in which he rater-ted — the depth of the gull be- tween the content of the letter and Mr. Fletcher's ipprecin. tion of that content. For i! on. sareiully peruse: that stateY ment there is no mention of the word "revolution," ratllel I call [or student revolt. Till. choice of phrasing was de- liberate. None 0! the student: in the group are calling toy revolution: such a call would be obvious nonsense. As a For litical scientist Mr. Fletcher is aware of the distinction be- tween the metaphorical use oi the word. eg. managerial revo- lution, Negro revolution, etc., and the substantive, eg, Rus- sian Revolution, French Revo- lution, etc. There can he no question of students taking over the administration, hiring, promoting, and firing laculty, Such . goal would properly be called revolution, and those who proposed it under prevail. lng conditions would be “in- fantile adventurers.” However. it one labels thosa who call lor student revolt to actualize ideals which are stated in the Grinnell Colleg- Catalog and are implicit in the liberal tradition itself “revolu- tional'ies," then one is indlttg< ing in fantasy. The call for student revolt is based upon the failure of the college to achieve adequate realization of these ideals.
