West Side open houses will be Saturday between 7:30 and 1:00 am. and Tuesday and Friday afternoons. All afternoon open houses extend from 1 through 5. Widespread Approval The extended hours on Satura day night have met with wide- 5 p r e a d approval by Men’s League, Women’s League, R.A,'s and Proctors, who have all re» Cel'itly approved the open house proposal, Aim Laws, Chairman of the Open House committee, attribu- ted the extended hours to “the Deans’ willingness to listen with open minds to our arguments," In its meeting with the Deans last week, the Committee had contended that an extenSlon of the hours would make Saturday open ho u s e s more flexible, Couples would no longer have to choose between open houses and other activities —- they could go to both. Also, the com mittee pointed out, roommates could schedule their visits to open houses so they wouldn‘t coincide. “Any inconvenience which might result because of later hours can easily be work< ed out among roommates," stated Miss Laws. Arguments ‘Convincing’ Dean Jean Phillips agreed that the arguments were “quite con< vincing. They made very good arguments; with the later wom- en's hours it makes good sense to have longer open houses." Joel Tibbets, assistant Dean of Men, feels the extended hours indicate the College is “willing to deal with people as human beings." and is very happy with the new agreement. He pointed out, though, that proctors have been instructed to enforce the ”No drinking by mixed couples during open house" rule. Commented D e a n Phillips, “While 21—year»old couples who drink together outside of open house might naturally want to do the same during open houses, we can't Consider that possibility for some time. The FA Committee was quite ex< plicit in forbidding mixed drinking in open houses. “It wouldn't be wise to agi- tate for future change on this matter until the values of the present social policy Change! are confirmed." Twenty-one year olds not in mixed company will be able to drink in the dorms during open houses. iii RADIO NEXT MONTH I By PAUL NACHMAN Grinnell‘s ten~watt FM radio station will take to the air "hopefully towards the end of November," according to sta- tion manager Babak Arinajani. “The radio station will be amateur,” he said, “but it’ll be better than what you can get now. We'll be stressing classi< cal music, serious jazz, and seri- ous folk since the airwaves are pretty well saturated with rock," The station employs 133 peo- ple—more than one-tenth of the campus. Many or them are in- volved in an enormous amount of behind-the-scenes operations including engineering, purchas< ing, and program development. “It’s an educational experience for all of us," noted Armaiani, a senior political science major, “Few of us know much about radio." He stressed the educational and creative outlets the station will provide. “I expect there will be something regarding communications in the Curricu- lum Committee’s report. Mr. I-laveman (a member of the committee) is very excited about the radio and has helped us a lot," Annalani explained. The staff has just finished scheduling the 120 hour broad- cast week. Morning \vakerup programs, rock shows, news- casts, and delayed broadcasts will be interspersed with the more serious musical offerings. ”Delayed broadcasts" include BBC transcripts of topical dis: cussions, tapes of on—campus gatherings such as the recent Vietnam discussion in Gates. re< cordings oi programs at Ex Loco Parentis, and other gen. eral features. “Our news department is tre‘ mendous,” Armajani said with' enthusiasm, ”I think the 5&1], may concentrate more On fea< tures once we get started since we can get the break on any campus story, “We'll have excellent national and international coverage—in great depthaby taking full ad- vantage of what the UPI wire service provides." The station has a fairly exteih sive library of records and will be able to draw on several pri- vate campus collections. An RCA Red Seal classical library, consisting of more than 140 rec- ord sets recently arrived unan- nounced, Armajanl noted—i! complete gift, he added. other record companies make regular contributions. The disc jockeys for the roclf shows will play their personal preferences as to type of mush! on their programs. “Rock is de. fined in the broadest sense,“ Armaiani explained. ”We wan! to encourage the deejays to use their own discretion in deciding what to play. The variety will be a learning experience for everyone." The station will be quartered in the northeast corner of Darby on the first and second floors. SENATE SEEKS PUBLICITY The Senate meeting this wed- nesday was one of the shortest on record, lasting 21 minutes. The major issue was an inquiry by a senator from North con- ceming the necessity for a reg- ular column of Senate and other student government activities to be run weekly in the 5&1}. It was felt that the student in- terest in the workings ot the government would be height- ened by the constant exposure to a description of these ac tivities, and the general apathy that is present on campus would be counteracted. Another prominent issue was stimulated by Neil Fischer’s column on the College Book Store. An inquiry was made as to the reason for the lack of progress by the committee on the store organized last year. David Swee answered that in the chaotic Spring-Fall Senate changeovers it was absorbed and smothered by the commit- tee on the student used book store. The lack of visiting privileges in the Health Center was dis- cussed. At present, the rules call for visits only by the North Campus house presidents and the South Campus hall health chairmen. An investigation was commissioned to d e t e r min is whether visitation rights could be extended to include all cases which would not endanger the health of the visitor or the patient. A Cabinet statement con- firmed the report that the Wed- nesday night dress rehearsal of the Verdi Requiem Mass was to be cancelled, due to the professional singers' desire to preserve their voices. JUDICIAL COUNCIL (“The Council will make public a brief statement ex< plaining the basis for any disciplinary action taken." SGA Constitution, 111, B, 8, g) The Judicial Council feels that stealing from SAGA II a serious offense. The Coun- cil believes, however, that the evidence in the case just brought before it indicates that the individual con- cerned was not guilty of re current acts of thefts. it therefore gave him a strong reprimand and warned him that any further acts of theft on his part would M dealt with more severely.
