Leggett feels that the ieculty may balk at substituting it for existing r e (1 u l r a d ireshman courses or adding human val- lies to the present course load. He also noted that introduction oi such a course may neces‘ sitate hiring faculty members who specialiu in ethics, Leggett also briefly discussed administration rationale regard- ing Homecoming - Convocation. Affirming the indirect financial motivations for the Convoca- tion. he said. “What is at issue is the future of colleges like this i’m trying to broaden the basis oi support. l'm trying to ghow oil the college to them (potential contributors)."

Princeton Univer< sity anthropologist Ashley Mon- tagu, and Yale University drama professor Richard Gil- man as participants—has been approved for 1 - 2 pm. Sunday, October 29, on Barber Plaza, Oiiicials oi the Grinnell Stil- dant Movement (GSM) said that the rally would "serve as a culmination oi the GSM's pres- ent anti-Vietnam activities on campus" Montagu and Giiman will ad- dress an ekpected group at several hundred students iol~ lowing an introduction by Wall. Roth visiting proiessora will sign a GSM anti-war petition. The petition began circulating Tuesday among the Grinnell community. Gilman wrote to Deslonde Lamb—a worker on the GSM'S Vietnam Committee—Tuesday stating that he would “be happy to make a . . . speech." Montagu had previously writ‘ ten the GSM that he would participate providing President Leggett considered the move “proper" during his visit here during Convocation. Leggett last Thursday told Ron Millar—B Vietnam Com« mittee representative—that “. . . .what Mr. Montagu does with his time is his own business," “He's his own man,” Leggett said. The Vietnam Committee pe- tition states that the present war is “immoral and a uso< ' less loss oi lives.” It further lists three points agreed to by all who sign: that bombing oi Vietnam—North find South—should cease; that the 1L 5. should declare a uni- lateral cease-lire; and that the Ui S. should recognize that the National Liberation Front has significant support in the South and should be allowed to no- gotiate. Copies oi the signed petition will be mailed to President Johnson. Secretary Rusk. Sec- retary McNamara, S e n a to r Fullbright, Senator Robert Ken- nedy, and several other sena- tors and representatives on the Armed Services committees.
