But look at the buys l gctl FLIGELTAUB’S SPEECH T0 SENATE Last spring, after much de« liberation, i decided to seek the office of the President of the Council of House Presidents. I recognized the problems assucl‘ ated with the office: however, I was optimistic, and thought that through a conscientious ef- fort. I could iuliill the respon- sibilitiies, minimize the difficul- ties, and provide leadership both for student government and one student body. As I became more involved in SGA, I sensed more acutely the conflict between the responsibilities and the prob- lems. Yet. I continued to work because I believed the conflict could be resolved without any drastic personal decision. I now have arrived at the point that I can see no resolution for my- self and can foresee only the impairment of the C of HP and SGA leadership if I do not make that personal decision, The immediate factor forcing my decision has developed from my philosophy concerning stu- dent responsiblhnies and com- munity rules. especially those relating to the open dorms question. Unlike several student leaders who have adopted a philosophy of hall rights, l have not and, as l interpret the role of the C of HP presidency, I can not. I, therefore, have had the following policy about open dorms: if I have passed a wo- man entering the hall or if i have heard a woman's voice in the room or it people have complained to me about the noise from a coeducational par- ty in a room. I have asked the men involved m remove the women from the hall. I also have explained to the people in- volved that after three separ- ate warnings. I would send them to the judicial council, (To say the least, this policy irritates ntany students and officers who disdain their responsibilities.) Yet, with my election. 1 as- sumed a greater obligation to be concerned not only with hall rights and rules but also com- munity rules and rights. Sim- ply because a particular ma- jority in a hall or his officers decide not to recognize a rule, I do not lose suddenly my re< sponsibilities to the entire com< muniuy. The inseparability of student responsibilities student government responsbi ies and community responsibilities seem so fundamental to me that l can- not compromise on this princi- pie. Some people have asked me why, after three years at Grin- nell, this principle has become so sacmsanct to me. i have no definite answer to this ques- tion. other than that this office has stimulated some thought in my formerly indifferent mind. I, however, do know that now. both as an individual and as a student leader, I can not ac- cept an attitude that completely negates a rule because it is disagreeable to several people. I consider an irritating rule a poor excuse ror shunning one’s duty to honesty and responsi< bility. Yet, some people have been pressuring me to adopt that at« titude. Now, what are the im< plicahions and alternatives in their demand. One alternative would be to compromise the fundamental principle of stu- dent responsibility and honesty within the college community. Another alternative would be for me to fightl and defend thifl principle. with all the conse- quences that might emerge from the struggle.

As I stated, the principle of student honesty and responsibib ity is essential to my philosophy about student life in the Grim nell community. Student parti- cipants in non-academic areas is primarily earned or deserved rather than inherent in the col- lege situation. i do not believe in flouting a college rule be- cause it seems to infringe upon my freedom, 1 do believe in changing the rule through dis- cussion and argumentation — even if these processes require much more thought and time. Thus, especially when l have the honor to he in a student leadership role which should de- mand more responsibility than the normal individual struggled with, I can not turn away and acquiese to pressures for total neglect of the rule or rules. You see, therefore. that com- promise is an unacceptable an- swer for my problem. To light and to deiend my philosophy were the second al- ternative I suggested. The idea of a struggle does noti frighten me, for I love to accept chal< leiiges of this nature. Nor do I fear the possibility oi dls< covering that my views are those of the minority — after being Jewish and Catholic for twenty- one years, I have learned not to be disturbed with having minority ideas. I, however, am reluctant to force discussion of this principle at this time for two reasons. During the com- ing months the entire com- munity will be deciding on major reforms in academic, social, and residential areas. Stiudent leaders will have the opportunity to play vital role: FLIGELTAUB— (Continued on Page 1) r. it you want a good buy, why don't on look into Living Insurance from quitable?
