Instead of the usual class proces dare ot a teacher assuming a role of authority, directing questions, and/or channeling the discussion into areas which he considers important, our nlxss is run with no leaders and with no set pattern. The class sets hours to begin but sets no hours to end. We end when we have nothing else to discuss — no bells and no decisions to break up made by the teacher bother us (we have no teacher; Mr. Liggett, the faculty member lne valved, is just another human being ins See The New Spring Things At Poynters In Grinnell Poynters 4th Ave. Fashions.

We have a goal in mind. i.e,, writing up pm¢ posals for change, but we move towards these goals as the group wishes to, not with a well-defined and structured plan and with the necessary research and work being carried out as each individ~ ual or small group of individuals seal ilt; we have no assignments, papers, or textbooks. The thing which will be hard for many people to understand is the fact that we really are learning, moving somewhere, and participating in a common educa- tional experience. We are learning not just of books and of how to write up proposals, but also or people and their lives and their feelings. It is this, this knowledge oi what a life really is, not just what a mind says, which is one of the most beautiiul consequences of this class. m: Fireman Strip Teases An unidentified Grinnell fireman made an interesting suggestion when Police Chief Bill Peters asked how firemen might entertain the twenty persons wait- ing in the fire Station to be called to testiiy in yesterday's indecent exposure hearing.

The cut penalty for missed classes on days surrounding holidays was abolished. No student now attending Grinnell is re- quired to accumulate more than the standard 124 credits required for gradua ation. it was implied by the faculty's statement that this decision is to be e!» iective retroactively. of tar more importance are the changes made concerning student re< presentation on the Committee on Ad< missions and Student Aid and the Educa‘ tlonal Policy Committees (EPC). Last week a letter distributed by Tom Thom- as, SGA president, urged students to in- dicate to the iaculty the need ior stu~ dent participation on the admissions committee. Mr, Waldo Walker, chairman of this committee, informed the student body in a campus memorandum that he was aware oi student interest. He stated that the Committee on Faculty Organize: tion was preparing a proposal to to- structure tho committee in question. in- cluding provisions for student involve- ment. Thomas commented that he ielt the resultant student-iaculty descussion was beneficial, as "such communication —- oi desires. interests, and proposals — is the tirst important step towards my tual student participation in the tin-going process of governing the College," The iaculty also passed a recommenda- tion reorganizing the original Committee on Admissions and Student Aid. A com- mittee by that name will no longer deal with administrative matters, but will be responsible ior making recommendations to the President and iaculty on admis- sion and student aid policy. This cone mitteo would receive regular reports irom the Director oi Admission and Stu‘ dent Aid ooncerning the current FNCG‘ dures. Membership on this committee will include the Dean oi the College, Chairman oi the iaculty. three elected faculty members, three students seleot< ed by the Student Government Associa- tion, the Director of Admissions, and the Director oi Student Aid. The fact that the SGA is to appoint the students gives new importance to student government in the opinion of one iaculty member.

They will decide on all special cases in admis‘ siooa and student aid which fall outside the guidelines at official policy. They would also make suggestions tor the for. mutations of policy, help in the adminin stretlon ot policies, and report the num- ber oi cases they act upon to the Com- ynitteo on Admission and Student Aid. This restructure eliminates the necessity of students using confidential files, which has been a major objection to student arilcipatlon in the past. This proposal tr not yet ofilclal. it was voted upon as a recommendation to the President:A which he is to transmit to the trustees. Each divisional EPC will now have two voting student members, as the result ct still another iaculty decision. Each dlvl~ sion will decide its own methods 0! selection. Trwo probabilities are an elec- tion of the majors at a division and the selection of two students from a student arc which may be created. Students are now represented on every iaculty committee relevant to student interest except the committee on acor- demio standing.
