The business manager Bnice Strom stated that it would be impossible on account of the shortage of time, to re- ceive from NEAS advertise- ments for the other major can- didates. After the meeting with CBS, the editorial staff made the de— cision that the advertisement would be published; but adver- tisements trom the other major candidates for president would be actively solicited so that , they could be printed in the same issue. it was Ielt that the newspaper would have to establish the pol- icy of either accepting all po~ Iitical advertisements, or area cepting none at all.

The police de< partment has a directory which lists the years of all students of the college. “1 instruct my officers to check in the bars every night. Sometimes things come up, and they don’t make it,” said Peters. if a minor has no identifica- tion card, the store can he pe- nalized for servmg him alco- holic beverages. H the student has a false identification card, the store is not liable for pun- ishment. Last year one store lost its license for selling beer to minors. “Judge Soft” "The justice of the peace may be getting soft," said Peters. He was explaining that the iines for possession of beer were always $100, but that now the lines were often only 525. “Making beer available to a minor would be tougher. You’re stepping up in the leagues then." Any adult giving beer to anyone under 21, or even any- one just over 18 giving beer to another minor would be subject to a fine of no less than $300. but no more than $1000 or 3 months to a year in jail. The crime is classified as an in- dictable misdemeanor. “College students are doing this all the time. I know it.” The chiei of police elaborated, saying that it he could get e . dence of this he would not he - tate at all in bringing charges against any college student bringing liquor oi any kind to E friend. When asked how he knew that college students were traiiicking in beer, he said, "We have ways.” He would not elaborate. “Last yeari called in 15 or 20 college students who were smoking marijuana. I would have taken them to court if I could have gathered evidence legally." Justice of the Peace Edwin Lincoln, who levied the line on the sophomore girl, said that all fines went to the school fund of Poweshiek County. This amounts to between ploooiioo a month.

Uniortu- nately there is little hope of doing anything to reduce the price of books. The turnover is just not large enough to sell hooks at discount prices. The prices of cosmetics and drugs are set by the wholesale supplier. According to Lambie, prices are deliberately high. The reason is to avoid any competition with Grinnell mer< chants. Even if this policy were abandoned, the volume of drugs and cosmetics sold is too small to allow the store to purchase sufficient quantities which would be necessary to reduce prices. Those sticky price tags can be removed. Wassom said that a sunlamp will do the trick. I! you are iussy you will have to bake your books, The sticky tags prevent price switching in the store and they are con- venient for the clerks during the book rush at the beginning of each semester. The most important iunction of the bookstore is to supply students with the appropriate texts. This function is not al- ways luliilled. As a result many students are without texts for as long as three weeks. This is inexcusable. Enough b o o k 3 should be ordered in advance. Wassom argued that “It’s hard to guess exactly how many books will be needed." He does not have to guess. Free registration lists indicate ap- proximately how many students will be taking each course. Wassom uses this list when he orders books. However, many more students sign up {or a course than is indicated through pro-registration. Surplus books can be sent back. More than enough books should be ordered to insure that every student will have one. some publishers have stringent regulations re garding the return of books and not all books can be returned. in these inirequent cases, the college should absorb the loss (which should not be too great). Wassom contends that there is not enough room to allow or- dering more books than ap< pears necessary. He added that lack or adequate space is the most serious problem concern< ing the bookstore. Not enough books can be displayed and the volumes on the shelves are crowded together. This makes finding a particular title very difficult. The shelves are also too close together, making it almost impossible for two people to look in the same sec< tion at the same time. IT was- sum is concerned about this problem, I think a solution could be found. Last year the Library Com- mittee was presented with a mandate from the laculty to in- vestigate the problem of space in the bookstore. The back or the store is now used {or stor- age. This could he transtoi-med into a display area if another location were found to serve as a storage space. While the lac- ulty committee did not have sufficient time to investigate all the possibilities (the mandate is still before the committee), some suggestions were pro- posed. The college building downtown is equipped with a service elevator. P e r h a p s available room there could be used ior storage space. Another suggestion was to use a small section of the service building for storage. Wassom, however, was reported to be “complete ly unwilling to innovate.” Another possibility would be to convert the women’s gym Into a bookstore. Lamhie said that he was in favor of such a suggestion, although other uses for the building have also been proposed. if more space were used, many of the serious problems could be solved. Enough room would then be available to stock a suiiiment number of text- books. Also, perhaps a greater number of books (other than texts) could be purchased at one time. This would result in lower prices. l-lopeiully the Li- } Jud cial (Continued item Page 1) Frank and Lew, appointed last December, Will end at Christ- mas. Recently appointed Pearl Kadota will serve during the entire ’6&’69 academic year. Faculty jurors are appointed by President Leggett. The present Judicial Council signiiicantly differs from the Judicial Council system oi three years ago. The earlier version was very structured and consisted entirely of students, Although the council had orig nal jurisdiction in studese di cipline cases, its decisions were reviewed and could be rejected by the Faculty Committee on Student Allah‘s. This dualistic system was replaced by the present Judicial Council, which combines a student jury and iaculty jury by having a single jury consisting or three stu- dents and three faculty mem< hers. The Judicial Council at Grin- nell is not powerless, but, to quote lrom the Grinnell College Student Handbook: ‘The Judicial Council shall have original jun isdiction in all cases in which violations of college regulations are alleged to have occurred except those cases in which the House Councils have original jurisdiction.” That is, Judi a] Council has original jurisdic- tion in trying any offender oi the college rules, regardless of whether he is turned in by his House, BKtG men, or individual students, except when the de- iendant is appealing a verdict decided upon by his house Council. Furthermore, except tor hav- ing to be approved by President Leggett, the Judicial Councl] verdicts are final. Depending on the seriousness of the crime, the council may impose fines, conduct probation, suspension, or expulsion. brary Committee will not neg« lect this problem, and hopeful- ly Wassom will he more recep< tive to suggestions in the future.
