Mr. David B. Parsell, French instructor, was reclassified l-A March 25th. Mr. Delmar Pettys, music lecturer and member of the {cum Quartet, was reclassified ‘ last summer. No action has been taken since then. Mr. Stephen H. liarasch, Rus- slan instructor, was reclassi- hed LA at the end of March. Mr. Neal A. Milner, political science instructor, was reclas- sified l-A in March. However, e is over 26 and expects to changed back to ZeA in April. A spokesman no the Jasper County Draft Board minimized lie present danger. “They are reclassifying them but they're not taking them as yet,” the lpokesman said. “i guess they will if it becomes necessary} “The decision is up to tho 'drait boards," said a spokes- man at the state headquarters of the Selective Service. The National Advisory Committee advised the Selective Service that a consideration of the present economy did not point out a need for any essential list of occupational deierments, he explained. “The number of potential Inductees on the faculties is small.” he said. “We don't foresee any call for men over 26 Bnyway."

It states that the College, "must not restrict those free- ihms of thought, association, and action which are the pre~ uisites of . . . personal de- yelopment." ln the statcment they voiced belief in a student's right :3 be free from punishment by the College for a civil offense, f the offense does not contra- him “the educational objectives if the College." They urged the College to (1) refrain from taking action against students or lolely bemuse of “drug in- yolvement." (2) “provide its. cilities where students can seek rofessional counseling or med- ical attenLion without punitive action." and (3) "protect the rights of students from searches without legal warrant, paid in- formers, and legal invesfigntlvo methods." The Council urges students In become more informed on the effects of dnlgs. as well Is on laws regulating their use, Students need to ”accept the responsibility for their actions and realize that Grinnell Cola loge cannot and will not pro- lect the student from the con- leouenCBS of use of illegal Inna." faculty board that married men were not being drafted. l-le antici- pales a return to at 27A clas- sificatioli. Mr. Parsell also is married. Barasch was surprised to be reclassified since he is ma~ triculateo in a PhD program. A PhD candidate is usually al— lowed 5 years, he said, and he is in his 4th year. Other faculty members have had past problems with the dratt, Mr. George P. Zimmer, psychology professor, was re- classified for a short time last year when he was 26. He was reinstated, however, after ver- ifying his teaching position. One man was told by the draft board secretary that his employer (Grinnell College) had been tardy in sending the nec- essary statement to them. His l-A classification was given in an attempt to speed the state ment to the draft board. Another reclassified gentle- man delayed his induction a year and one-half by showing that the draft board only gave 8 seconds of consideration to his case. A well-w i s h e r complained, “Guys aren't imaginative enough to get out of the draft. I Could do it easy if I had to. They always say they couldn’t pass as homosexuals They just don’t want to, that's all."

DADA (Continued from Page 9) their conversations. “This icy- ous slavonic affirmative," says Richter, “seemed wholly ap- propriate, . . . .n powerful re- iteration, ‘da,ila,' ‘yes,yes,‘ to life." The anti side of Dada is much better known. Richter says, “Our provocations, dema onstrations, and defiances were only a means at arousing the bourgeoisie to rage, and through rage to a shame-faced self- awareness. Our real motive force was not rowdiness, but the question, basic as it is now, ‘wllat next?" Dada had a "new artistic e t h l d (which sometimes took) a positive, sometimes a negative form, of- ten appearing as art, and then again as the negation of art, at times deeply moral and at other times totally amoral." No wonder then that Dada had no unified formal characteris- tics like other styles have. Shock was one of the faVa or‘lte devices of anti-art Dada. Works like Duchamp's Bicycle Wheel had an instant impact on the viewer~and that was the end of it. Such pieces belong. Richter says, in museums, not galleries. Duchamp would agree. The distinction is inter- esting. A museum in for his- torical relics, but a gallery, Richter says, “is not there to be walked through, even if there are thousands of plc< tures in them. . . They are there for meditation—if only that were still possiblel" Today galleries are “offering the pub- lic entertainment rather than objects of contemplation, which is what real works of m are. 1 still tblnk that one person who meditates before I work of art is worth more than thousands who just gawk." Richter notes that the museum pieces of Duchamp and others had their place. The bother is that commercially successful artists today (erroneously re- ferred to as Neo-Dadaists) do not understand that the recog- nition of shock falls flat. Rich- ter provides a devastating quo- tation from Duchamp, "this New Realism, Pop, assemblage, etc. is on easy way out, . .when I discovered ready-mades I thought to discourage aesthet- ics. . r they have taken my rcady-mades and found aes< thetic beauty in them. I threw the bottle-rack and the urinal in their races as a challenge and now they admire them for their aesthetic beauty." The question of why nudia ences clamor for coke-bottle and comicastn'p “art" is an in- teresting one. Richter concludes that it is a peculiarly American phenomenon. He quotes Huel- senback, who laments that the tools of Dada are being used by “sensationvhungry galleries eager for business." Richter odds, “Art in this xero form has taken on n . . . soda-psych» logic-l mooning, no longer transcendental, but therapeu- tic.” Such an give: in to and reflects n sick, sterile, society. It assumes we are mi! of con- trol of our lives, that “we are lncapable of altering a hope- less situation.” This cynicism is precisely what Movement artists are . 5% W “Let Me Entertain You" should be the theme of the coming week here on our campus for as it shall become obvious we are all going to be royally entertained.
