banter, .iBLACK F Vol. LXXIV Grinneli. lows. Friday, March 3, l967 No. 2| New AWS Pres. Stresses Initiative. Communication Representative By Mary Malcolm Leida Schoggen, newly elected president or the AWS board, is anything but a veteran of campus politics. A transfer irorn Park College. St. Louis, in 1965, and a participant in the Washington semester last tall, Leida possesses an unusual enthusiasm and optimism about Grinnell Virtually undiminished by the two se- mesters she has spent on campus. While uninitiated in Grinnell campus politics, Miss Schog~ gen's experiences as a political science major, a student or Headstart last semester in Washington, a worker with pre- school oulturaiiy deprived stu< dents last summer and iemale delinquents the previous sum- mer, indicates her ability to deal with people and their prob« lems. As AWS board president, Miss Schoggen is concerned with “process.” She indicated the most important concern lor next year's student leaders will be to continue and expand the pro- cess of communication and stu- dent initiative begun by the Kent administration. With reterence to working out a satisfactory hall residents system on South Campus she said, “It’s going to work, be- cause we're going to make it Work," Miss Schoggen’s enthusiasm for Grinnell derives partly from comparison with Ameri- can University, location or the Washington semester. She found that Grinnell in general takes itseli less seriously, is more relaxed and more recep tlve to dliterent ways or feeling, thinking and behaving. “When I came back here I could re— lax, and it wasn't that I didn’t love Washington and the pro— gram," she said. “At Grinliell you feel tree to express how you think and teel about things."

College Seeks NSF Grant By Pat Smith Grinnell has applied to the College Science improve- ment Program at the National Science Foundation for a $193,000 grant ior expansion within the natural and social science da- partmenis. The application specifies that the grant would establish a researchestudy fund, a sat» batical assistance fund, a fac- ulty seminar program and tield studies in anthropology and bi- ology. Stated objectives for expan- sion within the biology, Chemis- try, physics, mathematics, an- thropology, economics, political science, and sociology depart< merits include: (1) “improved conditions of scholarship con. ducive to attraction and main< tenance of a faculty of high nroiessional quality." (2) “up flooding of faculty confidence in subject matter areas,” (3) “up- grading ot student seientiiic confidence and encouragement oi related pedagogical experi- mentation in science education," and (4) ”expanded opportun~ ities for field studies in bio- logical and social sciences." The live specific allocations ot the grant are designed to luliiil the objectives. The re- search-study fund would enable faculty members to participate in summer study projects and summer research projects. The sabbatical assistance fund would increase the salary of a biology, chemistry, or physicl protessor trom one semester's pay to a full year's pay full the year he takes his leave. (Currently, a professor is given a semester's salary for an ab- sence of either a semester or a year.) The faculty seminar program would establish regular semi~ nars ior protessional studies. and as this would necessitate a lighter teaching load, the iund would permit the hiring or extra professors.
