Changes Finally Revealed CURRICUlUM ALTERED TO FIT REPORT By ADRlENNE LEMMONS 58x3 Staff Writer After 5 e v er al months of heated scrutiny, the faculty has approved, with a few amend- merits, nearly all of the rec< ommendations submitted last fall by the Committee on Edu- cational Policy and Curriculum. The report included changes in course requirements, inde- pendent study, and academic credit for some activities now considered extra-curricular. Course requirements, accord- ing to Joseph F. Wall (history), Chairman of the Faculty, have been altered along the lines suggested in the curriculum re» port. Beginning with 1968 in- coming freshmen, students will meet these requirements: —Hulnanities I and II, fresh- man year. This course will attempt, like the present Humanities course, to teach techniques of textual interpretation; the new syllabus Will provide more study at drama as a literary genre and will probably include some recent Works. —Social Studies I and Il, This is to be completed be fore the end or the sophomore year. Readings will cover “classic texts in social thought, including texts in philosophy, religion, politics, economics, so- ciology and anthropology." The first semester, concen« trating on periods ranging irom classical Greece to the seven~ teenth century, will draw heav- ily on philosophy, while the sec< and semester, covering periods from the French Revolution to the present, will stress the so- cial sciences. Emphasis will be on intensive study at the ideas and social issues of a new se- lected periods rather than a chronological survey of history. —Sclence l and ii, Which must be completed by the end of the sophomore year. The two courses will serve as an introduction to biological and physical sciences. Science I is planned for the fall of 1968, with Science ll following by spring ol 1969. —Proficiency in a foreign language equal to two years of college study. The present philosophy re- quirement will remaln tor stu- dents who have taken Histori- cal Studies, but will not be obligatory tor Social Studies stu- dents. The fate of Humanities Ill, 1: course in music or visual arts analogous to the present in- troduction to Music and. intro- duclion to Art courses, is still undecided. A proposed change would eliminate Introduction to Theater as a means of meeting the fine arts require- ment, since Humanities I and [I are expected to devote more study to dramatic works. To combat: a tendency to- ward overspecialization, an up- perclass general education re- quirement has been approved. Beginning with 1968.59 freshmen, all students will be required to take 16 hours either in a special, nonrmajor program or in electives outside the division at the student's major, of which at least two courses must be Zoo-level or above. Committees are being formed to design special interdisciplin- ary programs to fulfil this re- quirement. Areas being con- sidered include Religous Stud- ies, Urban Studies, Internation- al Studies, Communication Stud- ies, and Studies in Philosophy and Science. In addition, 4 Credits of in- dependent study will be re quired (it all students begin- ning with the graduating class of 1972. Besides the present 2. and 4-credit independents, a plan for course-related study is being uttered, whereby a stu- dent in a 4-hour course can elect to pursue a 2-hour proj- ect under the same teacher. The 2- and 4-credit components Will be graded separately, and neither part can be taken cred- itsfail. Projects can be suggested either by the instructor or by WHERE ARE YOUR 127,000 CONSTITUENTS NOW? (Editor‘s Note: while digging around the lie. library at Berkeley, Ron Goodenow, '63, Grinnell's West Coast Admissions Counselor, ran across this item on i. o. Grinnell while doing research tor his doctorate in the history oi education.) In Febnlary, 1866, Grinncll, tllen serving in his second term in the House oi Representatives, gave a speech on the floor vehemently denouncing those Kentucky represen- tatives who opposed the Freedmen's Bill, a proposal de- signed to protect Southern Negroes from local violence and discrimination. A few months later, Representative Rousseau, one of the Kentuckians against the bill, attacked Grinnell public— ly in a New York speech, calling him a “pitiable politician from lowa” who had departed so tar from “what every body believes he ought to know and does know is the truth that it is a degradation, not to his State, but to himself." Grinnell shot back "When any man, I care not whether he stands six feet high, whether he wears butt and carries the air of a certain bird that has a more than usual ex~ tremity of tail, wanting in the other extremity — says that he would not believe what 1 utter, I will say that l was never born to stand under an imputatlctn of that sort." Those were fighting words to the gentleman from Ken- tucky. Three days later Rousseau approached Grinnell in the east portico of the capitol and said, “I have waited tour days tor an apology tor words spoken here upon this floor.” “What of that?” asked Mr. Grinnell, “I Will teach you what of that," sold Rousseau, who then proceeded to strike Grinnell about the head and shoul- ders wltb a rattan cane, stopping occasionally to lecture him in the following terms. “Now, you d— puppy and poltroon, look at yourself." Alter a few blows Grlnnell exclaimed, “I don't want to hurt you." “I don’t expect you to hurt me, you d—d Scoundrel,” shouted Rousseau, “but you tried to injure me upon the floor at the house, And now look at yoursell; whipped here, whipped llke a dog, disgraced and degraded! Where are your one hundred and twenty-seven thousand constitu- ents now?" Rousseau was later officially reprimanded by the Speaker of the House. Several fellow Iowa Congressmen presented Grinnell with a heavy cane made irom a bolt of the historic Monitor so that he might protect himself from further attacks. However, later that year Grinnell declined to run for another term in the House. the student subject to the teach- er’s approval. Faculty members have been asked to submit des< criptions of possible projects for as many courses as possible in time for this year‘s pie-regim tratlon. Academic credit will be given, upon recommendation from the appropriate depart- ment or division, for activities which “relate substantially to departmental or interdepart- mental subject matter.” These will he mainly activi- ties which result in a publica- tion or a performance.

NATIONAL NEWS Langan Hall's November pl roast escapade made nations news this month in Moderator — “the national magazine for leading students.” “You’re not going to believe this one," the magazine’s “Grapeshot” column declared. “The men of Langan Hall, GRINNELL C 0 LL E G E, de‘ cided to hold a pig roast to help raise funds for the cam- pus charity iuod. They did it the hard way.” “Up early in the morning, they went out and bought a live pig,” the column con- tinued, “hung it up in the dorm shower to butcher it. Squeals brought the director of resi- dences, but too late." “Grapeshot” is a column that cites happenings at various colleges and universities. The column concluded with a con- vetsation between the director of residences and o Langan freshman. Asked by the direc- tor why the pig was slaughter- ed in the shower. the lrosh re- plied, "Where else, Mao Field?" In addition to picking up the story or the Longan incident, Moderator also attempted to stereotype the Orinoco student in its latest monthly issue: “Ronald the Rad came to us from progressive Summer Hill High, where he called his pro— iessors by their first names. He has been all in favor of ciVll rights, pot, socialism, free love, and the rest of the bag." “His major is Russian,” the Moderator description went on, “the intorinal minor in drugs. According to his application, his grades are okay, but his boards are better, which Ron explains in a somewhat off- hand manner, saying that grades don’t matter, humanity does.” “That reminds us," the ar- ticle concluded, “Where the hell is Ronald?" The computer, accordlng to the magazine, would send him — among other places — to Grinnell College. Other schools favorable to the radical stereotype, accords ing to the magazine, were Har- vard, l-laveriord, Occidental, Berkeley. and Claremont Men’l College.
