Schneirov bad permitted a girl to stay in his room {or live days. He was warned about his violation but he said that he liked her and wanted her to stay. In a brief interview with Eehlieimv after Leggett’s deci- sion, Schneirov said that he tavmed dormitory policies de. termined by the students. He did not comment on how these policies were to be enforced. in the statement prepared by Bon- nie Tinker and Schneirov they maintain that the responsibility for the regulation of dormitory life should rest with the stu- dents. This implies student en< larcement or violations. The Student Senate has stated that It does not believe Schneitov should be punished for his VlUla‘ tion. “THE FLAP overEldrl'dflc Cleaver - tun obscured the liory or one George Mason Murray, another Black Panther whose education am: is shooting equally high into the Culilorm'il hare, Murray has boon hircd this term is! teaching assistant in the English depart- ment or San Francisco state 0 logo. bio say: his thinking ‘1': in- wired by Che Guevara, Malcolm x, Lumumhs, Ho Chi Minh and Man he Timfl’.” in u in. may of Wm, F, Bucklnv’l NATIONAL RE- Virw, wyil n.9,.

Ideally, they would like to see the institution of credit—fail grading in all non» major courses. Among those at the meeting were Don Marquardt, chair— man; Mr. Kurz, Sociology De- partment; Dennis Dunham, R. A.; Ernest T. Weston, Fresir dent of 6.3.5.; and Molly Mal- colm of S.D.S, Mr. Kurz pointed out that there are many faculty mem- bers who are in favor or a change of curriculum for the good or the college. They leel that these changes should be made in curriculum policy rath- er than simply in a few courses. Marquardt, who disagreed with having courses required, iceling they don‘t allow choice, asked "How good is a common experience?" But Miss Malcolm disagreed saying, “We (at Grinnell) should have more a sense or mission; students need to be exposed to courses they normally wouldn’t take.” In reply Marquardt asked whether we should put students in ditterent classes according to ability. Miss Malcolm, who is vehemently opposed to tracking by ability feels that stlldents can learn from each other. “There is no need for students to have a common heritage as long as they have common prob- lems.” A student concluded the dis- cussion saying, “It’s not that everyone has read the lliad; it's that everyone can read the Iliad.” All students and faculty are invited to the next meeting of the Student Curriculum Commit- tee next Wednesday, at 4:15, in the Forum Private Dining Room B.

That Is their clumsy vanity. We wom— en have a more subtle instinct about things. What we like is to be a man’s last romance." Oscar Wilde Girls, I am writing this col- umn to help you in what is the most important adventure in your liic a catching a man. Grinnell College itself presents certain problems in this pur- suit, but with a little clever: ness and just a bit of scheming, you can get the man you want. Every man, even the stupid— est 03f, thinks that he is “hot stuff.” The smart girl Will cons vinCe her eyes apple that he is not “hot" to the world, but he is berore her eyes alone. This Way he will feel superior only in your company, and it you are the smart girl that you are, his vanity will be ap- peased and you will have taken your lirst step in shoving him into that intellectllal contusion that is called falling in love. Falling in love with you really means that you have made him fall in love with himself. Men are, in general, vulgar, bad-tempered, ill-mannered, lazy, and violent. These charac- teristics are so bad that lf any man saw himselt the way he really is, he would know that he was unfit to live, and he would commit suicide. Why do so few men kill themselves? Nature has instilled into ev- ery man a small helping ot sell-love. This is an indulgent, Pandemian kind of love. It makes a man overlook his faults, or at least tolerate them. This selfrluve is how na- ture implants the will to sur- vive in men. Now we girls mllst help na- ture along. We must increase this self-love of theirs, and by doing this we endear ourselves to them. i have used up all my space, But it you need any adVice ot a private natute, send a post- card to me c/o the Scarlet and Black and I will send you the needed answers. } Saga Strike (Continued from Page I) Saga workers would have to be extended around campus, ac» cording to Pomerenk. All cam- pus jobs are granted through the linancial aid program, al- though many workers are not receiving a iinancial aid pack- age from the School. Of the 375 students employed on campus, 210 work for Saga. Next February 1, the base pay will increase to shall/hr. as a result of a new minimum wage law. At that time, accord- ing to Mr. Pomerenk, all incre- ments Will be eliminated. Dur- ing the last three years the base wage has risen lrom ESC/hr. with increments to the present level. "we are not at all pleased with the threat of a strike," said Pomerenk, “because it is not appropriate to the special relationship between the college and the workeis." He was re- rerring to the tact that jobs are granted as I iorm of financial aid. According to Shaw, “the Quad workers will strike Sat— urday morning as a matter or principle and will hold out until the demands are met" if there are no developments in Friday's meeting. Student workers in the Quad had a chance to sign one or two petitions. One stated that they were willing to strike; the other stated that they were sympathe- tic With the strikers but for economic reasons could not strike, 69 workers signed the first petition; the remaining five signed the second. Student workers at Cowles have no plans to either strike or support the strikers at the Quad, Shaw expects support lrom other students and some mem» bers of the administration and faculty, but the Quad workers have not solicited the aid or any other students. “We feel that this is Just between Saga, the college, and us," said Shaw. The rumored student strike or- ganlzed by the SDS is entirely unrelated to the Saga strike. Shaw was unaware of the SDS'S plans. For hungry students “food servtce Will be provtded in the event Of a strike,” Said Mr. Hand. “We hope that there will not be a Strike; this Could be settled before Saturday morn< lng.” } Council (Continued lrom Page 1) capable oi taking meaningtui action upon an issue or great concern to the college COl'l'll'l'lu- nity.” Their statement repri- manded the council for present- ing the Student Affairs Com< mittee with proposals tor changes rather than to the stu- dent body. The statement also defended the actions of Grant Crandall and the Senate, who had been reprimanded by the court. In an ettort to influence the president, a petition was circle lured by the local sps charging that the president did not have the jurisdiction to decide the case. Entire Senate Supports Cornell Black Students on Wednesday, Oct. 23, the Student Senate passed unant- mously a resolution presented by Tom Thomas supporting the Black Students‘ demands at Cornell college, and condemn ing the administration’s hark dling oi the situation. The reso. lution was then sent it? Dr. 9. E. Stumpt, president of Con- nell, and to The Cornellian. The proposal to the Senate by Thomas was a reaction to what he considered a poor way of handling the disturbance which occurred at Cornell on Oct, 17. The Black students of Cornell put on a demonstration and took over the administration building before their demand. were made known to the Cole lege officials. The trustees de- cided to expel the students, but later modified their judgment to immediate suspension until disciplinary action could be taken for the charge or dison derly conduct. ‘ In a personal letter to Presto dent Stumpf, Thomas con- demned the administration’- failure to operate through the regular channels that had been set up to deal with this type of problem. As Thomas stated in the letter, “Separating the le- gitimacy or the students’ de. mands and the manner of their presentation irom the question of discipline for their actions — as I think must be done —‘ I be- lleve the College's decision was unduly arbitrary, unfortunate- ly pressured, and unnecessarily harsh. “in any case 01 civil disobe- dienCe the individual must be prepared to suffer Conse- quences, but he also has the right to expect that these con- sequences be rendered by legal procedure, Institutional reaction in such cases must not come through ex post facto policy. i believe that in this case the ill- Considered action of the admire istration is subject to far greats er condemnation than the ac- tions of the students." Thomas went on to mom mend immediate reinstatement of the students, disciplinary action through prescribed Chan- nels, and only then, after the set system has been shown due respect, the consideration or the students' status as affected by a demonstration. The Senate resolution sent to the president and The Cornel- lian included the same ideas as Thomas’ original letter, and also urged the immediate im- plementation of three or the fOtLI' of the BIack students' demands, which tire: 1) that 10% of the convocation lecturers be Black;l 2) that a Black curriculum be set up and instituted; 3) that Black instructors and at least one Black adviser be hired by the college. The fourth propos- al, that there be built a Black Strident Center, was also urged for consideration.
