saturday, April 22, m1 The Grinnoll REPORTER Page Fivo Paul Goodman attacks ‘Greai Sociely' By nanlr Ballkov Labeling himseli a populist and cone munity anarchist, social critic Paul Goodman told I Grinneil audience, via tekphonic airways Wednesday after- noon, it is somewhat arrogant to term any society “Great" that would ulti- mately have to pension off over half its members to achieve this adjective. Goodman is a playwright, novelist, unofficial philosopher lot the free speech movement, and the author or Communlttis. Goodman pointed out that his brand of community anarchism does not deny that man is communal, but does see many or his present institutions as often alienating him from himself. His ideal community is one or unity oi purpose and effect, where “a premium is placed on techni- cal improvement. . .where workers are technically educated and have a say in management. Where no one drops out of society and there is mobility be- tween classes. Where the community is planned as a whole with an organic integration or work, living and play. Where production is primarily for use. . Where people are not afraid to make friends. Where sexuality is taken tor granted and where education is con— cerned with fostering human powers as they develop in the growing child.” in a manner that recalls c. Wright Mills, he blames dominant power struc- ture for the difficulties of ownership in a decent society. The military and in- dustrial complex thinks only in terms of Gross National Product and Mr. Goodman questions whether what is good for GNP is necessarily good for America. For example. he estimates by 1935 an adequate number of cars were present in this country, but the num- bers have needlessly increased to the detriment of the city, the countryside and the living standard at many Amen icons. Goodman also questions the san- NOTICE Grinnell College — I966 (the Cyclone) is now at the printers.

Price: still only $7.00 ity or having hall or all investment since 1948 in military areas. Our lives are becoming more and more regimented, claims Goodman, and education is his prime example of this. Early and continuous pressure for preparation tor high school and col- lege is on an accelerating scale. Good< man would like everyone to have at least two years outside of school he- tore entering college. “Most oi the brighter people would be better outside the ‘babysitting’ or college Goodman’s major criticism or the Great Society is that in order to be great it must eliminate more than half of that society. He said the old and young as well as many of the minority groups have been either pensioned oil or otherwise eliminated lrorn legitimate participation in our society, In order to get this half back in society Goodman advocates mass pro— test. ln the conilict between corporate interest and the will at the people. Goodman sees this method the must ef- Iective. He points to its increasing use in areas ranging irom action against recalcitrant school boards to super markets. Part at the cure that Goodman pro- poses is a diversilicatton or the econo- my not only in types oi products and services oiiered but also in the style at their production. Corporation c o n t r at should be modiiied so that everyone, including the individual craftsman, has all equal opportunity. He also suggests that living conditions as a whole should begin this diversification. We are laced with a present situation that is exces- sively urbanized. Urban costs increase geometrically with population increases. This affects the moral and aesthetic state or a society. Rural living should be subsidized to make it as attractive as the city. Goodman points out the amount paid for public housing in cltiei far exceeds that needed for his rural project. Goodman closed his remarks by say- ing he would be in iavor ot a moderate form at world government that would be kept {mm the excesses or present nation states.

Frank continued that an oliicial at the police station said it might be a deputy badge given out a dime a dozen to certain people with jobs in the police department. He said it really meant nothing. Frank telephoned the Polk County at- torney's oiiice on Monday. He spoke to a man named Bergeson. He said “The large responsibility oi students for their own education, and an exciting intellec— tual climate." He also included as prio les the ap- propriate distribution of finances within the institution and a lessening ol diver slonary organization “The problems or divisionary organization beset adminisA trative affairs, inculty ailairs, and stu- dent affairs, At the present time, mesa problems retlect prevalent ideas and ideals of ‘community' and of ‘student involvement,’ both of which are relevant to the weltare of the surviving college. . . If we stick to the inevitable tacts we should be talking about the college in terms of a ‘pluralism or communities in appropriate coordination, rather than in terms of ‘the community’. . . Let us be aware . . . that the nerve centers of the college in its main educational busi ness are the teachers individually and the academic departments, not faculty committees or ‘tho administration.’ Let us be aware, too, that students speaking {or students in education decision-making would not be equivalent to speaking competently tor them.
