NOTE: This column is written in response to a letter Chairman of the Faculty Joseph Wall distribut- ed this week. In the letter, Wall out- llnes the Faculty Student Affairs com- mittee’s basic support for the Interim Court’s actions in recent disciplinary bases and explained the Committee’s reasons for modifying the Court’s pro- posed penalties. Wail also suggested that this “unlmppy episode" stressed the need tor the creation 0! a joint Modem-faculty Judiciary Council and revisions in the present hall system. By Adrienne Lenin-ans and David Dillon in regard to last week's court deci- sion, we agree with you mat the situa- tlon which came to light cannot be tolerated, and that “any system which rosters or even permits such conditions must be altered." While the corrective measures taken allow us a short r9- prieve, they can nnly prepare the way for more essential structural reforms. We therefore wish to present some spe- oliic recommendations for considera- tion by the entire campus community. They are outlined in two categories. The first of these should be enacted promptly, perhaps by September, 1969. The second series reflect more long- renge, but equally urgent goals, and might well be implemented by Septem- ber, 1972. The former are delineated below: 1. Present forms of association all North Campus impose an artificial con- formity, stifling spontaneous social re- lationsbips. Prepping and other exces< slve manifestations or “hall spirit” bo- oome respectable fronts for the isola- tion and mistreatment of selected in- dividuals. A static, closed system bo- gets inbred cults and styles; the stem types thus engendered discourage gen- uine personal Contact. Residential so- ciety must therefore be made fluid, adaptable and liberal. With this aim in view, we suggest that room drawings and the election at the Com? be con- ducted at large, so that hall life may become a truly open society. informal clusters of friends and decentralized lloor gatherings (including a House Council member) would carry on the “socialization" now improperly borne by house government and “traditions." This balance seeks at once a closer as- sociation within the hall and an exten— :ion of ties which are independent of residential separation. 2. To encourage interaction between houses, an initiative bonus would I‘E- place the present senate fund. Each hall could augment its regular social allotment by joint planning With an- other residence. Up to a maximum llm< it, 10% or the cost of each event would be reimbursed to both halls from a spe- cial fund; die bonus could be used for any social activity at the discretion of the house membership. Money for this purpose might be raised by a $5 in- crease in the student activities fee. 3. The sanctity of every personality is the essence or humane learning. Thus we propose the following regulation be adopted and published in the Student Handbook. Physical harassment or psychological brutality toward any student is not tolerated on the Grinneu campus, whether expressed in isolated no- ti us or in patterns of covert beha» vror. Complaints of such treatment may be brought to the Community Court by the deans, the house presi- dents, or the victims themselves. Conviction for this ntlcuse will re. suit in conduct probation after the first instance, and social expulsion in the event of repetition. in cases of recurrent abuse, the house president may be required by the Court to sub- rnit regular reports on the situation until the Court deems the problem resolved. 4. The negative aspects oi the North Campus milieu are exacerbated by a barracks or boarding school atmosphere. This condition may be improved by a liberalization of open dorms pohcy, cork ducive to less formalized coed relation- ships. Emphasis needs to be shifted to include studying. billl sessions, and group recreation, as well as dating. For- rrler Cot'HP president Bob Foote's origi- nal suggestion for legal Visitation on weekdays (11:00 A.M. - 7:01] P.M., Mona day . Thursday. 11:00 A. M. . 11:00 PM, Friday - Saturday) offers the greatest promise tor such a development. 5. Opportunities tor psychological guidance remain grossly inadequate The college should maintain a resident psychiatrist whose services would be available to any student without cost. Hall advisers should also assume a greater counseling role. These immediate steps ought to be reiniorced in long—term community planning: 1. The residence system must encompass a wider diversity. At least three alternatives should be provided — traditional dorms for men and wom- en, oft campus rooms and apartments, and co-educational balls, 2. Facilities are needed at all hours for study or conversation in private. Since hall lounges do not serve this function well, Smaller, enclosed area! ought to be provided tor the purposo. Hopefully, the adoption of these pro- posals would cause student culture morn fully to reflect our academic values and pursuits. } Senate (Continued from Page l) the Opens committee is pessimistic about their chances to get extended open moms, “Considering the attitude of the administration. most people don't be- lieve extended opens are possible,“ he said. Mary Malcom, Cleveland, suggested that student bedrooms will have to double as living rooms again next year because tho college cannot afford to build both. Jefl Fern, Norm, felt that the current opens policy punishes law abiding people and that it was hypo- nrltical for those fortunate enough to have certain rooms to be allowed to have opens while others cannot. Horn suggested the Opens Committee might better spend 15 time Considering other ways or providing some degree at privacy on dates. The Senate approved With two revision: the creation of a new Community Court. The revisions were: Cases which affect only one hall and not the campus as a whole will be handled within the individual halls, sub- ject to appeal, The three student members of the court will be appointed by the AWS and CofHP in joint agreement. Their ap< pointment is subject to Senate approval. John Zarwan, East, renewed all old can— troversy when he questioned whether the Court's makeup of three students and an equal number of faculty members wouldn‘t result in trequent ties. in the lengthy argument that tollowed, several senators noted that court mem- bers are not supposed tn vote individually on a case, but rather they are to come to an agreement through discussion. The Senators suggested that the Court be balanced in membership to encourage an attitude of trust in the Court and olimltiata any suspicion of favoritism.

A Review — 'The Red Deserl" By Sue Pransky Oi The Red Desert, directed by Michangelo Antonioni, a critic for The New Republlc said, “it would be quite a wrong emphasis, but one could say that the trim is worth seeing for its color alone." Antonioni focuses on the neurotic and neglected wire or an elec- tronics engineer (Monica Vitti). Tho lactory town they live in irritates her, and she is suffering from the shock of an earlier automobile accident. The story Concerns her brief love affair with a mining engineer (Richard Harris). The wife abruptly breaks off the relation- sllip when she finds that her lover ll not a catharsis for her mental state. The technique of the film is directed toward a penetran'ng vision or the in- dividual's thoughts and feelings and his relation to his environment, It is to these ends that Antonioni makes his won- derful, original, and unique use or color. The Red Desert is the ltalian di- rectors first color film; it was considered a cinema breakthrough, Following it with . his latest color venture, Blow-Up, Ann [onioni has given new depth to the film medium. The movie has been interl- nationally acclaimed and should be worth seeing both in of itself and an A film classic, It wlll be shown in ARl-l this weekend on Saturday at 8:45 pm. and Sunday at 9 p.111.
