Television space specialist had more to say on politics, prepping and persua- sion than on the space program during his visit to the Grinnell campus Monday. Peter Heckes, a former Read prep and Grinnell graduate gave his predictions for the 1963 presidential elections in all interview with the see. ‘It the elections were held tomorrow Lyndon J o h n s o it would probably win only be- cause nobody else would have time to campaign against him. Johnson is definitely in tl‘oubIE. mainly because at the Vietnam war, which has trapped him in- to a situation in which there is nothing he can really do." The from running candidate at this time, according to Mr. Hackes, is Richard Nixon, who “seems to have the most et‘» iicient organization.” Hackes discounted R o ii a I d Reagan as a possible nominee because of “his problems with- in the party” and eliminated George Romney because “he's a little on the corny side. Romney also would be troubled by his affiliation with the L.D.S. (Mormon) Church, which has not yet taken a stand on civil rights." The former Read freshman (During the war years, Nomi MAGAZINE ' T0 REPLACE ALUMNI S&B By MOLLY MCGUIRE The traditional Alumni Scarlet and Black will be re- placed by a new publication Called The Grinnell Magazine. Unlike the old newspaper, a iour~page publication put out six times a year, the magazine will be a quarterly of at least twenty - eight pages. The new publication is being edited by Dean of Men, S. Eugene Thompson, who worked on the Scarlet and Black when he was a student at Grinnell. When asked about the reason for the change, Thompson ex. plained that there had been strong iaculty interest in a magazine of this type, In a magazine format, rather than that of a newspaper, more em- pliasis can be given to the ln< tellectual side of the college, not just the current news. In addition to the regulara. Iumni notes and news briefs about the college, Thompson hopes to include longer atti-’ cles dealing with the college, and also student work. “We definitely want students to work on the magazine. The only real criteria that covers all instances is that the stuff be of general interest. I will be glad to see anything anyone has oi interest to the maga- zine." Many colleges, Thomp- son pointed out, put out Alumni magazines so interesting that even people not involved in the college enjoy reading them. H would like to See Grillnell’s be- come one of these. Dean Thompson does not see The Grinnell Magazine as a iund~raising vehicle; merely as a promotion to those people al- ready interested. campus was used as an Army training center and south cam< pus liod coed housing) also commented on prepping. “Prepping now is nothing like when I was a ii‘eshmah. We were prepped like mad, however, I have no bad feel- ings about the program. We had to tame lions at the bank. wear beanies, and go through a hell night.” “This prepping integrated tlte irosh lnlo campus activities and created a coherence among the ireshmeii boys.” Hackes spoke on persuasion through the medium oi tele- vision during a private coIIee hour given by Sigma Delta Chi and Theta sigma Phi, the men's and w o m e n . s journalistic societies.

Three Grinnell students, Deb- by Friedman, Molly Malcolm, and Don Stump, hope to make tree bicycles available to Grin- nellians. The plan developed by the three students involves a donation ot twenty-iive cents from at least a thousand people. Aside iiom iinancing the plan by student donation, another important means of getting money will be subscriptions to the Dave Gibson Memorial Monthly Magazine. With a minimum of 5250, they hope to buy fifteen to twenty bikes. According to the plan, the bikes will circulate freely about the campus. A bike may be picked up by a student anyv where on campus, then dropped when he reaches his destina- tion. The bikes may also be taken off campus, but the stu- dent will be on his honor to return the bike to campus. The bikes will be identifiable by some sort of unique design or odd color, The organizers of this idea have talked to representatives of the Schwinn Bicycle Com- pany, and hope to get a good deal on the bicycles. North Campus students who have been and will be collect- ing money are: Don Stump, Dibble; Gary A- gisim, Rawson, Tim Bowen. West; Dave Brian, Langan; Dick Hartz, Cowles; Art Knowles, South Younket.

The Grinnell office is staffed by a full-time clinical psychol- ogist, Dr. John Dani a tull- time secretary-recep ist; a partrtlme social worker, carol Pollock; and part-time doctors Berryllill (psychiatrist) and Demorest (psychologist). The center continues its cons tract with the college by which the college pays tor the iirst six interviews with a student. However, most student prob- lems should be handled by campus counselors and initially students should go to the resi- dent advisors, counselors, or deans who may then rater them to the center. However, the ieeling that there exists a hut- Iine between doctors and deans. which has bothered students in the past, may be lessened. In an interview this week, Dl‘o Daniel assured tlle 5&3, “Everys thing the student says here re- mains contidential.
