Wilhelm, 24, a lornier Grin» nell student and former editor or the oilicial college Cyclone, explained the new delay in a letter to subscribers mailed a low days ago. ' "when we last wrote you the book was at a printer who had agreed to do the job for us," Wilhelm said. “Subsequent to that, a senior oiticer in the firm decided that they would mt print the book because," he said, of ‘the book's past his» wryr.” “We have been told by the (new) printer," he added, “that the book will be completed to- ward the end at February, so we’ll pass that on to you.” "But," he noted, “we teel rather embarrassed to guaran- tee anything, so we can’t pro- mise that date tor sure.” NEW PRINTER ANONYMOUS Wilhelm said he had located another printer, this one in New York.

College records, however, did not indicate that Chapman was an alumus of Grinnell. “At this point the type has been set and prooled, and the plates are being prepared," Wilhelm explained in the letter. “The very same double-impres- sion printing process is being used as we previously adver- tised. The new printer is chart ing somewhat more; (The cost of the book has reached tour times the original estimate, Wilhelm later told the SM?) the difference will come out Of our pockets.” ROUGHLY 750 SUBSCRIBERS Asked how many copies of the unpublished annual had been paid tor, Wilhelm guessed “roughly 750, I'd say." “We've still got a long way to go to break even," he con- eluded. “The type is absolutely set.

ADMISSIONS BOOK STYMIEI] By DIANA SALURI Limited student response has temporarily halted work on the proposed student-written ad. missions booklet. Publication will not be in time tor this year’s prospective students as was originally planned. The Student Senate Admis~ sions Committee, sponsors of the project, received only lit- teen contributions in response to a school-wide soliciting cam- paign at the end of last semes- ter. According to committee chair- man Doug Tolletson, the con- tributions were lacking in varie. ty as well as in number. “Many ot the topics students chose to write on," he com- mented, “were quite similar. Because we didn't get the com- prehensiveness we teel is neces- aary to represent all aspects oi Grinnell, we don't feel that we should rush into putting I book together right away.” Plans (or a student - written admissions guide lor prospeo tives were first made after mem- bers oi the committee studied a similar publication put out by Carleton College. The project is backed financially by the admissions office budget and subject to the review of the Faculty Committee on Admins rions. Dale Terry, director of ads missions, thought the book would be a valuable supplement to the regular catalogue.” Toilefsun sees three possible alternatives for the tuiure at the booklet: the committee will again solicit contributions at large, assign specitic contribu- tions, or appoint a single author for the book. In addition to publishing an admissions guide, the Student Admissions Committee has tall} en over the job of arranging student contacts with prospec- tives over Christmas vacation, They have also been gathering application terms and admis. sions data irom other mllegel tor a comparative study or ad- missions procedures. Tolleison defines ihe main goal at the oommittee as being “tho attraction or topnotch studento by presenting the interesting! creative and exciting aspects Grinnell." Other members of the come mittee are Sara Hartman, Terry Mossholder, P e a r l Kadota, Kathy Lester.

The printers mailed it back to Grinnell, telling the college they would only publish it it they re- ceived a hard and last releaso irom any legal responsibility irom Grinnell College.

The book allegedly contained pictures of a marijuana party on campus, a male and temalo student leaving n local motel together, and coeducational beer blast. “There weren’t any obscenq pictures,” Wilhelm told the As. sociated Press last May, "N nudes or anything like that. John F. Bierman, the attorney lor Grinnell College said h. counted "at least 30 instance! oi potential libel" in the year- book. Both Wilhelm and Phillips, t book‘s editors, flunked out o Grinnell.
