Vietnam Issues and publish an underground newspaper. Eric Thor, Cle iacto chairman at the Tuesday meeting, pre- faced his remarks with, “We want to avoid a leader psychola ogy, so we have the least dy- namic beioi‘e us!” “Instead, we need a unit psychology," he stressed, ex» piaining that a strong GSM will enable its members to exert ef— fective pressure for changes at Grinnell. Thor expressed hope that stu< dent power will not become an end in itself, Rather, sees the GSM as those Stu- dents willing to be in the van- guard of campus change. The movement’s primary con- cern now is the open rooms question. Ron Steinhorn, head of GSM's Opens Committee, said, “We are trying to work through official channels now" to show the campus that noth- ing will be accomplished this way, The GSM will put a proposal calling for open dorms exten» Slims before the Senate next week and generally, added Steinhorn, “keep the issue be- me the campus,” LEGGETT T0 SPEAK President Leggett will address all open meeting of the Senate Sunday at 7 p.m. in ARH audi~ torium, He will speak on the need tot changes in the resi- dence hall system and related matters. he, Mike P e n z n e r elaboratedll "The student leaders still think we can reason with the deans. Most of the student body won't act until they’re sure the deans' answer is ‘no.’ “As soon as we get an ex- plicit refusal from the deans, we have a rally point and can have a revolution." The Paper, GSM's under- ground newspaper, edited by Richard Schileirov, will serve as the voice of the movement. ”We don’t intend to compete with the 5&3," said Scllneirov. “The 5&3 cannot provide ade- quate space (to air GSM’s views)," he explained. Hopefully, said Schneirnv, the paper will come out weekly in mimeographed form. He in- tends to print articles from similar journals, news of stu- dent revolutions a c r o s s the country, and numerous ieatures. “We don't have to be con- cerned with just college is sues," he explained. “The 5ch has a responsibility to the cam- pus. We don’t." “There is a sudden burgeon- ing of underground newspapers," Scllneirov continued. “They’re not connected in any way with what people call ‘The Estab~ iishment'. “Most of them barely turn I: profit, as the readership is limited. The content is often extremely radical." Anyone wishing to play anything on any musical in- strument (or on anything else) is welcome at Ex Loco Parentis tonight until 2 3.1“. “IZIIIIIEZE Jill dint. OOIJNOIL OOHEIBMATIONS EXPECTED SUNDAY . Sue Dastal, Larry Frank, and Russ Heuckendorf have been selected as the first student members of the Judicial Council. The appointments are expected to be confirmed by the Senate Sunday night, By ANNE TAYLOR The Judicial Council of Grin- nell's Student Government As- sociation will be an innovation in student selfrgovernment, The council will consist of three appointed students and three faculty members chosen by President Leggett upon the recommendation of Mr. Wall, the Chairman of the Faculty. The Judical Council will have original jurisdiction in all cases in which violations of college regulations are alleged to have occurred except those in which the house councils have origin- al jurisdiction. At its discretion, it may have appellate jurisdiction over cases handled by a House Council or may refer any cases back to a House Council if it is felt that the House Council should have original jurisdiction. The council will have the power to recommend any ap- propriate measure, however, its decision is subject to the stu- dents right of appeal to the President of the College. The three student members of the council, Sue Dostai, Larry Frank, and Russ Heuckendori, were selected by a committee composed at eight honse presi< dents and Ric MacDowell. Eighteen candidates were inter< viewed on Monday and Tues< day nights, and the final selec- tion was made Wednesday. Frank and Heuckendurf will serve until December, and Dos- tal will serve until May. An.“ nouncement of the three faculty, members of the council is also expected Sunday. ' The faculty members of thl Judicial Council will also in, announced at that time and will serve one year terms. The most important innova. lion within the Judicial Council Will be its prerogative to mid. ate investigations of student a fairs. The council will be abid to investigate the underlyin causes of the violations of th college's policies and regulaa lions and to make resolutionl affecting student behavior, In previous years the function of the council was executed byl a High Court and n separatd Men's and Women‘s Primary, Courts. The members of last year] courts would be the first admit that their judical aystza lacked adequate means to m > the needs of Grinneil‘l student body. The primary courts found themselves wasting time dictat- ing regulations and inflicting punishments for disciplinary problems. Most of the courts decisions were merely cniorcmg standing regulations, regula< tions which, more often than not, Could have and should have been dealt with through housa councils. The courts had no integrity. Simply, any of their decisions could have been (and some were) revised by the Faculty Committee on Student Affairs by request of the deans. The inefficiency of the com- plex court system was exemp , filed by the fact that the Higii Court was not used once last year. IOWA EDITOR TAKES SWIPES AT PROFS AND POLITICS By NEIL FISCHER Billed as a speech on possible Republican candidates for the next presidential election, a Thursday night Political Dis- cussion Group (PDG) dinner in the private dining rooms of the Forum lapsed into a verbal joust between Burlington (Iowa) Hawkeyo Editor John McCor- mally and Professor C. Edwin Gilmour (political science). The bantering centered around civil rights, the Vietnam war, and the Republican alternative of Ronald Reagan. Though a “not for the record" atmosphere pervaded most of the evening, McCormally's quot- able statements summarized his overall viewn “It's a hell of a lot more im- portant to save America than it is to save Vietnam . . . We can renego on our commitment there if there is a need at home." Just as a man can renego on a Red Cross pledge il hs needq the money more to mend a dist aster in his home, the Iowa edi- tor expiained, we can renege in South East Asia if we’re in trouble." “Is that it reasonable politi- cal alternative?" asked Gil- mour. “It is politically feasible it you have the guts," McCormai. 1y answered, ”But it may bl a matter of time." “ I never argue with you,Ill Gilmour retorted, “1 agree with' MCCORMALLY — ~(Continued on Page Q
