Friday, November 29. ms SCARLET AN D BLACK Little Kids Like The Little Prince A liberal Education By THE EDITORS Last Sunday, after the chil< dren's performance of “The Little Prince,” the Starlet and Black conducted a symposium on the play in the South Lounge oi the Fonim, Respond- ing to questions asked by an impartial group oi reporters, eleven children ranging in age from four to seven gave their candid opinions on the play, and some other related, and not so related matters. The questions are printed here with the answers, without many additions or subtractions. Q. Would you recommend the play to your friends? A. Yes. Q. (Guess that wasn’t such a provocative question.) What did you think of the airplane crash in the beginning? A. i thought he was a reck- less driver. Yeah, he shoulda been more careiul. He could have dented a wall or something. like when Moni humped into the garage. Q. If you were the flower, would you have iallen in love with the little prince? A. I thought he was too silly. Q. What did you think or the flower? A. She was too vain. Q. Did you think she treated the prince mean? A. (Nodding to one another) No. no. Q. What did you think rep- resented the dramatic moment of the play? A. (Silence) Q. Uni. what scene did you like best? A. I liked the reckless driver on the trike. Q. Would you have bought those iancy pills he was sell- ing. Remember, with one at those pills, you could go with- out water for a week? A. No. You would need water to swallow the pill. i don’t think it would get stuck in your throat. I liked the drunk man. Q. Do you think the drunk \ I Give A Gift Of Music RECORDS HARMONICAS SHEET M USIC RADIOS RECORD PLAYERS GUITARS TAPES RELATED ACCESSORIES Ar LEEPER Music Company Across from Central Park X’X’Xfltflsi'flslt man looked like any other in the play? A. He looked like the adding man. The snake and the fox looked alike. No they didn't. Q. Did you think the drunk man was really drunk? A. No, Dick Van Dyke does the same thing. But this guy was much better than that. The Whole thing reminds me or Rowan and Martin. Q. Do you think anything was left out oi the play? A. it shoulda had a watergun light. And it should of had a mud- ball light. Q. What would you have done with the mudballs? A. Throw them at the adding man. Q. Did the prince remind you of anyone? A. He reminded me of my gym teacher. The hair was the same. The flower reminded me of my cousin. (At this point. stirred by our probing reporters’ questions, the children began to talk with- out questions being asked. Der spire the fury of the debate, our stenographeis were able to re- cord Lhe following remarks.) I’m hungry, all i had tor lunch was a toasrcm pop-up. I thought the tort was the prettiest. I thought you don’t like girls. i hate girls. She was an animal, not a girl, so it doesn’t count. (Finally our harried reporters were able to return to their questioning.) Q. Did you like the play? A. It was the best play I ever saw. it was the only play you ever saw. It was the goodest play i say. Q. why do you think the king didn't order [he sun to set when the prince asked him? A. Because it wasn't time. No, I think he just wanted the prince to stay longer. Q. i didn‘t understand the snake. Why do you think he was there? A. I don’t know, Q. Do you think the prince learned anything in his travels? A, He learned that the flower was special, because he cared for it. tellers lo the Editor Head Waiter Hi lng Practice Prolesied To the Editor: it has come to my attention that there is something rotten in the kitchens oi Saga besides the iood. Recently, Karl Southworth, Head Walter of the Cowles Saga crew, announced his decision to resign, eiiective as of Spring break. 1969. His replacement: sophomore Bob Noyce. The position oi head waiter is the most important a student worker can hold. It entails the responsibilities oi scheduling the hours of each worker to iii in with his classes and acrir vities, eniorcing dress rules, cooiiiciating at special meals such as Thanksgiving or Val- entine’s dinners and Convoca» tion. instituting changes ior bet- tcr efficiency (including the power to fire those who CorlSlSr tently reiuse to cooperate), and acting as a general lubricant to AHWANQ’S IF you as sruovme roo HARD. ran: a BREAK AND HAVE A coop rlzza.

In addition, the Head Waiter must be ready to iill in in any emergency when he cannot iind an adequate substitute. obviously, then, this job is a difficult one requiring an inti- mate knowledge of the "Saga System." The holder of the Head Wall- er’s position earns a iixed salary oi $700 per year, as compared to the 5250 work grant awarded the regular workers. it is this salary more than any other sin gle factor which makes the job so eminently desirable. if the purpose of Saga work grants is to supplement other terms of iinancial aid to needy students, I would question the selection of Bob Noyce, or any other Saga worker who does not have an employment grant, as Head Waiter replacement. It is one thing to hire workers outside those on the long waiting list in the financial altl depart» ment to work incidental meals, especially during the iirst se- mester when there is a great IT COSTS NO MORE TO SEND THE VERY BEST W whack/mark, Quality Christmas Cards {or as little as I0 for 29¢. Cunningham's Page The. influx Di untrained freshmen workers. But in my opinion, one of the qualifications ior the sal— aried position of Head Waiter. should be financial need. Among the sophomore boys working for Saga this year aro at least seven who iit this dual. iiication. Of these seven, at least three have had considera- bly more experience with workn ing “behind the scenes" oi Saga, on account of both the variety and the sheer quantity or the work loads they have untlertak. en. The only reason i can see that these three were over- looked is because of the “inde~ spensible" nature of the ser- vices they are now perlorming, In which case they should be paid more (or this specialized _ labor. At any rate. the criterion oi need, and to a large extent the qualification of experience were ignored by Saga Chuck and Karl Southworth in their collabora- tion to choose a Head Waiter. I request that they reconsider their decision in the light 01 these two factors, and also that the Senate committee investi- gating Saga look into this mat- ter. Gail Gilman Leiler Bids Students Be Strong in Courage To the Editor: 1 wish to speak to all those students who may ieel disap- pointed, unrepresented. or possibly lust angry about the events of the past iew weeks on this campus. Grinnell Col- legs is not one of the more liberal places on earth. It you are opposed to the recent so- cial changes, do not think or yourselt as reactionary simply because you are so inioimed. If you still have a sneaking suspicion that morality is im- portant don't let some nincom- poop talk you out oi it; all significant human activity in~ Volves moral decisions. It others have told you that per- sonal behavior is of no con- cern to the community. l'e- member that the community is merely a peculiar collec- tion oi persons. You may have already dis- covered the fact that Grinneil is a very unusual place. There are very iew radicals here! Most people seem to be‘ lieve what they believe be~ cause others believe it. They could not believe it by themv selves. Unfortunately, people who may share your behets seldom have the desire to ex- press themselves. it is harder to speak with reason than with passion, and the applause is noticeably less. Finally, it you don't what’s happening say thing. It is your right responsibility. But say what» ever you must say without hostility, disrespect. and mal- ice. Do not make yoni-selt vul— nemble to Character assassi- nation. Arguments nil honii- nem abound on this campus. Say what you believe because you really believe It. not be- cause your peers say that they believe it. You may iind your- self with more company man you had imagined.
