Friday, January 26. I95! Campus Recruitment Scanned USMC WAITS FOR LEGGETT President Glenn Leggett and College Director of Placement Nicholas Ryan weren’t exactly gungrho when the Marine Corps Officer Selection Team offered to visit Grillnell and recruit on campus. The visit. scheduled for January 13, was cancelled. [ii a letter to Capt. Bruce McKenna, a Marine Corps Selection Ullicer, Leggett asked recruiters to "wait until our discussions are rinished and our policy clearly articulated." “As you are aware, a good deal oi attention has been focused recently on the recruitment process on college campuses," Leg- gett emphasized in the December 27 letter. “and we are now in the midst ot such policy discussions at Grillnell." “We expect to Complete the discussions shortly." he con- cluded, “but would prefer to have them without the pressure of an early deadline. Accordingly, we would rather that you did not visit us on January 23. . . “As soon as we have reached a Clearer understanding of our responsibilities to our students in so lar as recruitment and place- ment are concemed, we will be in touch with you." To ieach that "clearer understanding,“ Leggett told the sub. on ad hoc committee on recruitment and placement has been cre- ated by the college udmhiistrutloii. The ad hoc committee, which held its first meeting January 12, includes three members of the Executive Council (Prof. Alan Jones, Prof. John Kleinschmidt, and Chairman of the Faculty Joseph Wall); the Chairman of the Judicial Council (Prof. Arnold Adelberg); the Chairman of the Student Alfairs Committee (Prof. John Burma). Committee members also include four students —— all from the student government's executive cabinet: SGA President Ric Mac- Dowell:CofHP Presidentrkonald Cogswell; AWS Board President Leida Schoggen; Speaker of the Senate Phil Bertenuial. Leggett said the decision to ban military recruiters temporar- ily came “after noting trouble other colleges and universities have had during and after such campus recruiters' visits." “It is my nation," the president told the SEE, “that the timl an discuss potential trouble is beiore it happens and not after.” “We Weren't particularly expecting trouble," Leggett ex« plained, “but other Campuses that didn’t expect trouble had 50ml anyway." The president cited recent demonstrations against the Dow Chemical Company, notably at Harvard and the University at Rochester, as examples of “troublesome” recruiting situations, According to placement director Ryui, Dow has not visited Grinnell during recent years and has not scheduled a recruitment visit here this year. Marine recruiters Came to Grinnell during the first week of school last semester, Ryan said. “There was absolutely no difficulty when they came in Sep- tenlber," Ryan added. “People were just coming back to school and weren't very concerned about the possibility oi protesting." Teh ad hoc committee on recruiting has reached no conclu- sions, Leggett said. He added that the Committee would like a sample student opinion on campus recruiting as to whether agen- cies and Corporations linked with the Vietnam war should be al- lowed on campus. “I have no reason to believe . . . Violence could be provoked on the Grinnell campus," Leggett said in a mailbox letter to stu— dents yesterday. But, he added. “if the opportunity interests you, will you write me within the next two weeks your own view of the positions an institutional statement on recruiting and protesting ought to ake?" Leggett emphasioed that such a sampling of opinion would not {me the College into a policy oi “selective recruiting. A questionnaire on recruiting appears on page five of this Week's 5&3. in the Spring of 1966, students at Grinnell College became among the first to demonstrate against campus recruitment visits of the Central intelligence Agency. Six students engaged in non-violent protest of a CIA recruit- ment visit. and no disciplinary action was taken by the adminis- tration. The protest, however, received national publicity from wire services. “The gentleman from the CIA told me later," Ryan mused, “that he didn't mind the protest here at all. In fact he said it pro- duced a number of unsolicited inquiries into job opportunities with the CIA.“ WWWWVWEVWW TEDERAL CONTROL BY 1975 MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (CPS) would more than double from — Carnegie Corporation Presi- dent Alan Filer told the Amer- ican Association of Colleges (AAC) last week that the Fed- eral Government will provide half of all funds for higher education by 1975. Piter. whose foundation is one at the most influential in higher education. noted the growing movement toward fed- eral grants for general support ol universities as the major reason why federal support its present 23 per Cent. Feder- al aid to higher education is presently contined to grants ior specific purposes. He went on to tell the edu- cators that financing is not the only major problem they face. He called for better co—operd- tioli between univeisiiies and the Federal Government, add< ing that “We can no longer an lord the luxury of an un- planned. wasteful, chaotic ap- proach to higher education." SCARLI’Y AND ILAOK BAN LIFTED WASHINGTON, Jan. 19 (CPS) —George Washington Universi— ty has lifted its ban on military recruiters. The university, along with Am« herst College and Columbia Uni- versity, has banned recruiters as a result of Selective Service Director Lewis Hershey's letter to local draft hoards recom- mending the induction oi anti» war demonstrators. George Washington President Lloyd H. Elliott said the ban was lifted because of a recent White House statement that the draft Would not be used to punish demonstrators and a statement by the Justice Depart- merit that prosecution of draft violators would be lelt to the Courts. Hershey has refused to com- ment on the White House state merit and has openly disagreed with the Justice Department position, but Elliott said the two statements "clearly indicate that the courts will provide the mean: of redress and protec- tion.” “These developments make it possible, he said, for the Uni< versity to return to its basic policy of an open campus.‘ " Neither Columbia l'ior Amherst have announced any plane to rescind their orders. lliiilliliillillllililllillllillllliliiillliiiillilllllllllllliiilllliiilliililllililllli The last session of the Wis< cousin State Legislature created I $40 fine for chasing bears with snowmobiles.
