The ideal situation is to have a tense battle with one strength eventually overcoming another and asserting itself, {This week brought about this exact situation with South play ing North for the volleyball championship, The result? A miserable 33 the which proved absolutely nothing except that they‘re too good for each other and much too good for anyone else. South now has lost 6 while North has dropped 9. North had the misfortune to play Rawson in the first game of the season when they were Ry BILL GRAY they'll all be happy when they are through swallowing volley- balls. While we're on the subject, coed volleyball will be played this Sunday from 7-9 pm, in Darby Gym, This game has much more to recommend it than regular volleyball since girls can’t spike as well as boys but they’re much more fun to Watch jumps It'll be the last chance before finals to let off steam.

As a result, North dropped 5 of 6 thus accounting for the disparity between the two rec- ords. For anyone else, the sea- son has been too long and THE KIIITZER By JOHN RAZ When one member of your partnership deals or when an oppo« nent deals and passes it is possible for your partnership to employ the Forcing Pass System of Sarcastically Obscure and Misleading Psychological Bids. Although this system may sound as though it should belong to the Oneupmanship variety of conventions as sug- gested by Stephen Potter in Gamesmanship, it has a fair amount of credibility and it is difficult to construct a logical defense with- out deliberation and altering the structure of the Standard Amerh can system. When you hold . 0-16 pts You bid One of it suit (with weaker types of hands try to open the major, strongEr for the minor suit openings) Pass, which is forcing and the equiva lent of a Shencken Club opening bid. Partner gives negative response by bidding 1‘: (less than 9 p18 needed for game) or positive response: any other bid, game forcing. ‘ Upon this basic structure can be added the Weak NoTrump convention (14—16 pts), The Weak Two-Bid (8-12 pts and six card suit), Preempts, etc. The success of this system in actual practice depends upon the quality of the defense since it is an exaggerated system of of- fensive bidst If the defense hesitates to double at the low levels, which is more often than not the case on this campus, the system has a definite advantage in initiative and preventing the opponents from arriving at their proper contract, Practice should demon- strate certain sequences and conventions to be superior to others and it is a matter of experimentauon to determine the best way of handling the system. Attention should be paid to the maintaining of limits for defen- sive values since they will be convenient when you double the frus- trated oppositions ovcrbidding. The greatest difficulty of the system is reaching game on hands which do not afford the use of the forcing pass, This could be alle- viated by reducing the requirement for the forcing pass to a mere opening hand but there can probably exist a system of step-relay bids for this purpose, Generally, this system is constructed to take advantage of an opposition which does not base its offensive bidding on a sound defensive bidding system; l.e., it works best against a weak or timid defense. Although it works best against an unwary defense, astounding results can be produced by first informing the oppo- nents of the use of the system beforehand. And like the excellent continental system, (e.g., the Roman and Neopnlitan Club), it can't be used in A. C. B. L. master point tournaments. ' 17+ pts HOOPSTERSi HEIGHT? HOPE! Tho Grinnoll Pioneers will be fighting to overcome last year‘s disasters as they take on Cul- ver - Stockton on December 2. The team has only won 12 of 66 games in the past three years and has been last in the Mid- west Conferenco since the graduation of John Sundell in 1964. Luck of depth seems to be a predominant factor of Pioneer teams and this year’s roundbait squad is no exception Only 11 men came out for the squad, which is barely enough for an inter-team scrimmage, It seems probable that a lot of the op- position’s points will come in the last period as the team tires. Fortunately, the problem of height is not as great as it was a year ago. While still giving away an overall height advant- age, Coach Pfitsch has Terry Holloway, a so" sophomore Last year, Holloway averaged 23.2 points per game with the trash and once pulled down 40 rebounds in one game. Other members of last year's fresh, now with the varsity, are Don Peterson and Gordon Abel, Peterson is a guard and Abel plays both guard and forward. Members at last year’s varsi- ty still with the team are Mil-(e Schwartz, Thor Evenson, and Roger Able. Schwartz is 8 guard and Evenson and Able are for- words. The team is rounded out by forwards Greg Rankin, Ralph Christensen, Carl Muller, and Sam Carrell, } TUITlON (Continued from Page 1) individual families or stu- dents.” ‘I want you to know," Leg- gett told the parents, “that to the extent possible the College will increase its financial as- sistance to students who other- wise would not be able to com- plete their education here." “We are committed to edu- cational excellence at Grin~ nail," Legged concluded, “and are confident that you share with the Trustees the conviction that superior educational qual— ity must be maintained at the College," GLASSES Made and Repaired in Our Laboratory Contact Lenses Causes and Solutions Eyes Examined Phone 235-3779 E.

The main thing I want to say is that i am concerned about the subculture and have heard this concern expressed by oth- ars, and I wrote my letter to try to express some aspects of the situation to others who felt the some way. You are not concerned with the situau'onll you applaud it as healthy. Nuv turally, you, the people in tho subculture, Would not feel the same way. My article was writ ten to suggest why you don't. The fact that you are so on the defensive as to feel you must reply and justify yourselves is indicative of less moral sure- ness than your letter indicatesl i wrote my letter primarily to the white students who, like me, believe in integration.

And when you have resolved the paradox of your [WEI statements: “The ‘self isola- tion’ that you speak of is im- perative to the Negroes’ search for an ethnic ‘soul’ " and ”Ethnic pride does not mean social separation" perhaps we will agree. Meanwhile, my letter's chal- lenge to the white students still stands: we have failed to pm vide positive and concrete re- atfirmatioiis of our desire for a genuinely non-prejudiced and nonaracially oriented society. We can decide apathy is easier and let our ideals go down the drain, or we can each decide to do something and perhaps succeed at Grinnell where most of our country failss ) NO BETTER (Continued from Page 3) soldiers in parcdying military officials.

This system replaces old reg- ulations under which some would-be migrants could be turned down by an immigration officer because of a single de- ficiency. Any immigrant scor< ing 50 out of a possible 100 “assessment units" will now be admitted to Canada The scoring under the new system is as followsl —Education and training, 20 units. One unit for each year of schooling or training, —Personal assessment, 15 units. Adaptability, motivation, initiative and other such quali- ties as judged by an immigra- tion officer during an interview, —0ccupational d e m a n d, 15 units, Based on demand for Vu- rlous skills in Canada, unim are assessed according to the demand for the occupation the applicant will follow in Can- ada. —Age, 10 units. 10 units if the applicant is between 18 and 35 —l.e., of draft ago — but one units deducted for each year over 35, —Arranged employment, 10 units: 10 units if the applicant has arranged employment in Canada or has received offers on a previous Visit. —Knowledgs of French and English, 10 units: Five points for each language spoken flu- ently. with extra points for some knowledge of eitherl —Relative, 5 units: granth when the applicant has a rela- tive in Canada willing to spon< sor him, —Employment opportunities in the area of destination, it units: a maximum of five units if the applicant intends to go to an area in Canada where' them is a strong demand for labor.
