Connie Simon More On The P.E. Complex To the Editor: Being a supporter oi the new RE. complex I would like to consider the questions of whether the complex would lead to an overempiiasis on W SUN.-MON.-TUES. athletics at the expense oi oth~ er programs and ot whether the m3. complex hinders nlhs er necessary building pro grams, 1 will deal with the cond question iiist. The admi stra- tion seems to teel that they have a good chance at getting the money tor the complex iroin loans and grants which would not hinder other build- ing which President Leggett announced in his iive and ten year programs. Granted it this money does not become avail. able the money will have to be raised elsewhere and other programs may be hindered. However, the PE. dcpa . ments are a part ot the Gr hell community and tor this reason they should receive due consideration tor their require. ments, especially since they have been waiting on the priority list since 1951. One good reason ior building the complex now is that the funds available now probably will not be available in several years so that building now may be the best way not to inter- iere with other programs and still tuliill our needs in this area. The next part oi the ques- tion is whether or not the complex would lead to an liver- emphasis oi “jacks" at the ex- pense oi other segments oi the college community. At the present time it is very hard to believe that this is the case because with the present ath- letic iacilities it is very hard to attract the scholar-athlete much less the so-cailcd "pure jock" type.

Carle~ ton completed a new men’s PE. complex in 1964. They have also recently completed a woman's P. complex contain- ing some litles which are superior to the ones we have now tor all campus use. While in Nortlitield recently I hap pened to read the carletonian and I found that their stu- dents are generally concerned about the same things as we are as reported by the sits with the exception that no one there is worried about an over- empliasis on athletics. I hope that the 5&3 can contirm this atter interviewing the Carle- ton student leaders. with these considerations in mind it is very diiiicult ior me to see that there is a problem oi emphasis and degree with regard to the new complex ex- cept possibly in some peoples’ minds. —Robert .1. Wells The Review of “After the FaII” To the Editor: I am very sorry that. the 55d} found it necessary to “call in" someone from outsids to red View After the Fall: I think that a mistake was made in do- ing So. and I also think that this mistake led to some even more regretahle results. I do not pretend to be a pro- iessional reviewer oi plays nor a reviewer oi plays at all, but rather a mere member oi the audience With some experience in theater and also with very close to the same obser ‘onal and emotional sensihil ics as any other person, including Nicholas Meyer. The iirst mistake was in thinking that going outside oi the community to engage an unbiased observer would con- sequently produce unbiased re. sults. In one sense this is true: the bias ot iamiliarity with the cast is avoided. On the other hand, it is possible to engage an observer who is too preoc. cupicd with the dramatically and technically protessional theater to be aware oi the col- lege and nonrprofessioml con text oi such a production, It seems to me that anyone at this college would admit that we are not a protessional thea- tcr nor are we trying to be one. It Nicholas Meyer were going to pit our production against the Lincoln Repertory and Elia Kazan, then perhlpl he has grounds ior his review; but I don't think he can use a prnfessional production or pro. iessional methods as a stand- For School or Typewriter Supplies Grinnell Office Supply GRINNELL, IOWA Acrnfl irom the Port cities ard ior comparison; and I say this simply because I don't think we are or can try to be protessional with the resources we have, It is also very good to be ta iniiiar with Arthur Miller's lite and the relevance oi the play to his lite. But for the sake oi reviewing. let’s stick to the staging and the script, not to its cause; the script is a common denominator ior any production and the stage and the context oi the stage are the variables. Again. I suppose that trom a professional point oi view, the iirst night’s production oi a play is likely to be a pretty good standard ior judging sub- sequent performances, But again. too, this is not a profes- sional theater. Perhaps the re viewer should have remained one or two more nights bciorc making his judgments and then he might have been justi- fied in saying what he did it what he said were still the case. It is indeed untortunate that two at the tour night's audi- ences, myseli included, were given the review to read be tore they saw the play, I couldn't help but go into the production with a negative at. titndc, Fortunately, and I hope it is the same case ior the rest oi the audiences. i overcame this ieeling in the iirst hour and twenty minutes oi the play, and I do not re- call “scratching behind the ears." And as iar as no con- cerned (and that's all this is about), when I come out ot a play hating one character, lov- ing another, weeping ior an. other, and empathizing with another, I know that that play is protoundly entertaining, and ior this college, to be highly prized. ._P:ul R. Jones On Neil Fischer To the Editor: 1 don’t imagine anybody will pay any attention to this letter because I am a triend oi SAGA Chuck's as well as a SAGA worker. As iar as I know Neil Fischer has never once eonverscd with Chuck about complaints or constructive sug- gestions which he might have. He resorts to letters and hurts his “campaign" to improve our iood. How can he expect chang- es when he antagonizes the peo- ple he should be talking with on a halfwayrhiiman basis? Why doesn't Neil organize a committee to meet on iriend. ly terms with SAGA to tails about the quality or our iood? Learn about the limitations oi our kitchens, the problems ot cooking tor silo guys, and the results oi the SAGA surveys on campus, Make some decent sug- gestions. consider the money you spend ior meals ior over 200 days. the tact that the re- cent Board increase was the iirst in about '1 years, and rise ing iood prices. It Neil really wants to see some progress and not merely shoot oii his month, then I hope he will iollow this sug- gestion. Ii he doesn’t really want to see anything done we should ask SAGA to let tiio College run the kitchens tor one month. Then we would real. ly experience had institutional iood. I'm sick of seeing Chuck bashed around like some dog. Treat him iairly or shut up, I seriously doubt that Neil speaks ior any maiority, It he does, I think we've got a prob lent—and it's not Saga. Bub nohnett More on Fischer To the Editor: In response to Neil Fisch- er’s comments on Grinnell iood i i . Mr. Fischer, I too am ted up. I am more than a little tired of reading letters to the editor that substitute poor taste and oilensivc language ior wit and satire. I am also tired ot being told that, as a member oi a group that is reasonably satis- tied with many aspects oi Grinnell lite, including the iood. I am some kind oi mind< less belcher oi “acrimonious platitude l' indoctrinatcd by the admi istration and lacking in any kind ot discrimination. But I am especially tired or listening to people complain because Grinnell iood inst daesn’t measure up to their ul- trahigh, gourmet standards. Atter iour years at Grinnell I am convinced that our iood service, as I have seen it in op. eration at the Quad, is gen- uinely concerned with giving us the best possible service, SAGA wants to know what we want and like and sincerely tries to please us. or course our iood isn't periect, and there is room ior improve- ment here, just as there is room for improvement in many aspects oi liie at Grille hell. But SAGA is so much bet- ter than so many school cater. ing services (and I am familiar with several) that there is al- most no comparison, and I am ied up with people who com- plain because they can't have pertection, Have you ever considered being appreciative oi the things you do have? Or are the rights and privileges oi at- finance and intellect too great to allow this? Ii you can iind time train your literary ac~ tivity, think about this tor a moment. In the meantime. it you can find a college that will serve you pheasant under glass and champagne, or homecooking just like mother’s I suggest that you transicr as soon as possible” ._Pat Mirth: Warns Against Gratitude To the Editor: I would like to expi‘esl the hops that Grinnell students nat too overcome with grati- tude for the new mental health facilities being provided for See LETTERS on page 7 “WHATA BUNCH a! pompous, humor- iesr, senor-chicory bums, than. ideo— loeuosr How they mint I» crooning themselves on their latest triumph —dstyi h Dragon Apartheid in My nahv out Just re. had it um ot thei‘ [eilaw citizens on the carrier Franklin I).
