TRUTH BEAUTY CROSSETT SCARLET 8: BLACK Student Newspaper of Grinnell College newasi‘ collage newspaper formal west (or east] oi the Mississippi "Null ’em up if they Hon’i deliven" Vol. LXXV FIFTY -T0 DES MOINES RALLY Fiity Grinnell students par- tlcipated in a peace march in downtown Des Moines Monday alternoon. The group was joined by about forty students from other central Iowa colleges, i cluding Simpson and the U11 versity of lawn. Senior James 5. (“Trip“) Kennedy III was one at six stil— dents who deposited their draft cards at the 11.5. Marshal’s oi- iice in the Federal CourthOUSE. East First and Walnut streets. Although the Grinnell contin- gent was the largest. the march was coordinated by students irnm Iowa City. including Bruce Clark, head of the S.D.S. group there. Leaflets protesting the Viet nam war and announcing the march were distributed at two Des Moines high schools and in the downtown area. The march began with a rally at Riverside park, where the demonstrators were ad- dressed by five speakers. More than a dozen students from Des Moines Technical High School (one of the leafletted schools) attended the rally. Several of the students heckled, while others discussed the protest with demonstrators. Most oi the high school students Iavored the war. During the rally. the Vice- principal oi Tech arrived and announced to the high school students that they were all sus- pended Ior cutting classes. The demonstrators walked north toward the courthouse at about two o‘clock under the eyes of newsmen and plain. clothes detectives. A University or lowa ireshman. Dale Repp. dressed in a black cloak and carrying a scythe, led the march. While the demonstrators Wait- ed outside the courthouse, U.S. Marshal Charles Eendlage told the group turning in their selec— tive service credentials that he was not authorized to accept the cards. The cards were placed on the oiiice counter and the students left. Alter the departure oi the students, the cards were turned over to assistant us. attorney Jerry Williams. Neither he nor Bendlage had any comment as to the disposition of the mate- rial, althcugh it was believed that the cards would be turned over to the F.B.l, who would nctily state draft boards and the selective service office in Washington. The demonstrators w a l k e d through downtown Des Moines to Tech High School, to protest the suspension ol the students at the rally. it was reported later that the Students would not. be suspended, but would be given detention Ior classes missed, the usual penalty for cutting. When high school students left the building at 3:30 pm. they were conironted with post- ers and leaflets opposing the war. The issue of their fellow students who had cut classes was confused by lack of iniora matinn and the inability oi the demonstrators to communicate with the students as fast as they emptied from the high school. In the heckling and shouting that Iolluwed, several posters and leaflets were set on fire by high school students. After most of the students had left the building, and the crowd diminished in size, sev- eral demonstrators were able to have quiet discussions ivith Tech students. The demonstra- tors departed about tour D'chck. During the entire altemoan there were no incidents or ar- rests.

The team actually was very hot in some short spurts but couldn‘t mount a sustained drive. They gave away a lot .ol height and still Iinished only six points behind Culver-Stock- tun. The second half shooting of Mike Schwartz and Roger Able almost carried the Pioneers but things just didn’t click. Roundball is a matter of either -the last break or ball control and Grinnell didn’t have either one. Terry Holloway had 25 points and Mike Schwartz had 18 so things may very well be a little brighter for the team. lithe team wasn’t doing well, the spectators weren’t doing GRILL ELEVEN ON WATCHED POT POLICE QUESTION STUDENTS ON CAMPUS DRUG USE Eleven Grinnell students re- ceived a jolt Wednesday alter- noon when they were questioned by the local police concerning drug usage. At least Iiiteen students were "iniormally asked to come down and answer questions," the Stu- dent Senate was told at a regu- lar meeting in ARH Wednesday night. Eleven were questioned, ac- cording tD Police Chief Bill Pet- ers. “Today about 2 p.m. we start- ed having Grinnell students take en down to the local police and questioned about drug usage.” Student Government Associa- tion president Ric MacDowell told the Senate. MacDoWell said that these persons were “apparently sus- pected oi being regular man'- juana users." He added that the local police merely warned them and said that ”this is be- ing done by the city. not the State or Federal Government." Chief Peters said he “just called down a tow people to tell them there had better not be any people smoking marijuana on the Grinnell campus.“ He added that he read the law con- cerning marijuana to the eleven be questioned. Students who said they were interviewed by the Grinnell police told the 5&8 that. they were asked it they smoke mari— juana. it they knew at other “users." and if they knew who was selling “put" on campus. They were then contronted in“ zqqzxulmtsumlumtlmuee anything. Almost 200 people. mostly middle-aged townspeople and little kids, came out to be stirred by 50 per cent at the cheerleading squad. It has been said that you shouldn't bring your high school days with you to Grinnell and that’s true. Every high school basketball game ever seen by this re- porter had at least a quarter of the student body present. At Grinnell, if you can lire up do per cent at the people tor something it’s a real big deal. Everybody is so involved with something or other con- cerning themselves that very lew have time to come out and cheer someone playing or fight- ing to uphold their school’s honor.

Asked where he got the list. Chief Peters told the 581B: “A bird gave it to me." He re- fused to name the individuals on the list. “We are here to keep people out of trouble," Peters said, “but if we’re pushed there’s going to be a lot of triuble.” Peters added that the students he questioned did not seem “particularly impressed.” Dean Thompson told the 5&5 late Wednesday that he had not scheduled meetings With either the police or with any of the students involved, but added ”I suppose I’ll be hearing {rum the students scan.” MacDowell told the senators that the college was not “a guar- dian" when it came to drugs. “The college cannot protect you.” he said. “If you know people on the outskirts OI the drug traltic scene at Grinnell," MacDolyeIl told the representatives or the student government. “please tell them to keep quiet. This Is the kind of thing that could lead to Search and arrest on cani- pus.” Rumor and apprehension was widespread Thursday as SGA members and students discussed the possibility oi narcotics agents being on campus. By noon Thursday seven “concerned individuals" had called the 5&3 Difices. most of them seeking to ”play down drugs here and cool it.” One of the callers wanted information as to whether stu- dents had a right to reluse to answer questions when inter- viewed by the police. A drug statement tram the Deans’ Otiices Issued at. Grin- nell in September stated that the college "intends to regard any student lound to be can. tributing to the (drug) problem by misuse or drugs or contribut- ing to others' misuse 0t drugs as . . . subject to separation from the College.” Studenls invited to the local police oliice for questioning are urged to seek legal counsel. crummy ALWAYS FIRST QUALITY Enjoy your vacation — see you in January — Be sure to take that gift with you.
