IAGKSON 0N MID EAST By GERALD SWANSON “The world is constantly on a precipice and the Middle Eastern crisis could push it over the edge." The importance or this prob- lem to the countries directly involved and to the world sit- uation in general were the to cal points of Hon. Colin Jack- son’s lecture Tuesday evening in the south lounge. The Hon. Mr. Jackson, a Labour Representative in Brl- taiii's House of Commons and Chairman of the Fabian Soci- Ity‘s International Bureau, used not only his knowledge as a specialist in foreign aiiairs but also that. of a Irequent visitor to the Middle East in his analysis or the problem. His suggested solution to the problem is that the Arabs and the Jews negotiate under U.N. auspices, with a realistic ap< praisal of what each side has to gain or lose in continuing conflict, "These negotiations must lead to a pact which guarantees Israel access to the Suez Canal and the Gulf of Aquaba, re- turns conquered lands to the Arabs, and places the Holy City under U.N. control," Mr. Jackson's visit to Grin- nell was sponsored by the In- ternational Studies Program and the Departments of Politia cal Science and History.

Dr. Richard F. Hettllnger, author of Living with Sex: The Stuv dent’s Dilemma, addressed him- self to this question in an hour- long lectlure which high-lighted his visit to Grinnell last week- end. Hettlinger made some twelve hours of appearances, including an informal discussion at Ex Loco Parentis Saturday night, a sermon in Herrick Chapel Sunday morning, a meeting with student government oili- cials and other interested stu- dents that atternoon, and a dis- cussion in the South Lounge fol- lowing his talk In ARI-i Audi- torium. In his lecture, Hettlinger took iihe position that love some- times does make it right, and offered some guidelines {or de- termining when this is the case. Sex is oiten engaged in for purely selfish reasons by peo- ple who are incapable of true affection, Love, which forms a more appropriate context for sex, implies a recognition of the other person involved as a personality and not merely as a “convenient physical body", Concern for the other person involved will lead us to com slder some of the ramifications of the sexual relationship, which extend far beyond the physr cal act. With today's trend toward postgraduate study, premari- Ilal intercourse is sometimes the only adequate expression of love VALUES between couples whose mar- riage, for economic reasons, must be delayed, In cases like this, avoiding intercourse oc- casionally causes the couple to become preoccupied with each other as objects of unsatisiled physical desire; in this manner sexual attraction can obscure other aspects of the personal- ities involved. On the other hand, difficul- ties ot various kinds can arise tram premarital coitus.

Her position, which she makes very clear, is that open dorms, as an issue, is only one of the aspects of on-campus “living and total social interac- tion.H Because of her belief that open dorms is only part of the total issue, Dean Low l5 reti- cent about discussing only that issue. Her personal stand - which, as she points out, is the official stand of the administra- tion or Grinnell — Is against LOW—- _(Contlnued on Page 5) SENATE FIIGEITAUB RESIGNS AS CoIHP PRESIDENT RAWSON PROPOSAL PASSES By BARRY ANCONA Bill Fligeitaub resigned as President of the Council of House Presidents Wednesday. In a speech to the Senate, Fligel- taub cited “pressures for total neglect of the . i . rules” on north campus, and said that he considered “an irritating rule a poor excuse for shunning one's duty to honesty and responsi- bility." (Tex't ot Fligeltaub's speech Dn page 7) The RaWsDn Hall Proposal Ior open dorms and a human values class passed in the Sen- ate when Speaker Phil Barten- thai broke the twentystwenty deadlock. Before debate was opened on the Proposal, Bertenthal ex- plained that the Senate could take several courses: the bill could be rejected entirely; it could be passed as a resolu- tion; it could be sent to the AWS Board and C of HP to initiate the chain or thirty day consideration periods that lead through the faculty and the president to the tnlstees; it could be sent to faculty com- mittees. or course, it the pro- posal were sent to faculty com- mittees, it would be broken upil opens going to the Student Life committee and the course gm ing to the Academic Life com- mittee. The proposal was debated tor thirty minutes before the vote. David Swee (West) called the proposal “minute and lragmen- ted” and said that opens war “not a primary issue” at this time. Roger Koenker (Smith) said the proposal contained too much, that the course should be eliminated, and that ho couldn’t see "forcing professor: with distinguished academic records" to teach it. Darcy Kelly (Main) noted that “thl Deans say we want Ireedom without guidance." The course is the guidance needed, and she felt that we should “makQ the poor professors demean themselves by talking about peo- ple instead oi historyi” Ray Horn, author oi the pun posal, answered questions and debated the detractors oi the bill. The most interesting ques- tion came from Derrick TePaske (East) who asked “Do you ex- pect Leggett to pass this?" Hom said no.
