Friday. May 1. I969 SCARLET AND BLACK Protests Questioned To the Edilnrl “There is no correlation between in telligence and judgment. A man can be awfully smart, and be a screwball oi the first order." That astonishing statement is round in a book by Vance Packard, “The Pyramid Climbers." It really isn’t so astonishing to tile older generation, those who have often noted the antics of “educated tools,” as a homespun phllu- sopher inelegantly pllts it. The purpose or this letter is hard to explain. We oldsters yearn over the ideal. lstic. impractical young; but ieel helpless to keep them irom damaging themselves and our beloved alma mater, in their ill» considered eiiorts to right someundoubt- ad wrong. Perhaps it they could be made to ieel less cocksure oeiore taking heed- less action, some good could result. “Meaning well" is no excuse for harm« ful action. Otherwise what good is Intel- ligence, of which the fortunate Grinnell student has an abundance? Elsie H. Hansen ‘l9 Grimell, Ia. Comps Need Action To the Editor: Whatever happened to the comps pro~ pnsal? Now that comps are over, one may very well ask thar question. But just because comps are over, does that mean that the issue ls dead. There are many pertinent questions yet to be asked. What is the purpose oi a compre- hensive? Are they relevant to a liberal arts education? Do they add to a stu- dent's knowledge or help him evaluate his work? The original proposal for a change in the structure of senior comprehensives Is now on the agenda or the executive cuuncil of the faculty. But the executive council is very busy and the iervor over Comps has died down. There are two weeks of classes leit and the executive council has never been known to make a hasty decision. Are we willing to let the issue die on the table? There are many avenues oi approach ior bringing the issue back to liie. Bonnie Tinker has chosen one way or demon- strating the irrelevancy oi comprehen- rives. But she is one person and issues are not settled by the actions of one per- son, The major part oi the work remains to be accomplished. The present comp proposal was drafted in the aitennath oi the first comprehen» sive period. Action now needs to be tak- en next fall to afford time (or careful evaluation and clear thinking. The initia- tive must come {mm the students. Are students willing to take the initiative? Lilith Morton NEED SOMETHING? WE’RE BOUND To HAVE iTl Senior rummage, junk, clothes-out and bargain sale.

Some 200 persons attended a dralt resistance rally in Herrick Chapel at which Gllck gave his dl‘ai’t card to Haas, who will mall it to Gliok’s drair board. Gllck’s drait card was passed through a crowd or about 100 persons belure it reached Haas. “I must raise my voice against immorality and, more than that, I must put my physical liberty against (America’s) Sick pnllCles as an indication or how misguided I believe our society has become,” Glicn declared, reading irom a let- ter to his dralt board. Explaining his cooperation with Glick, Haas announced to the au- dlence; “I’m nilly aware that this is illegal.

He also said that two other students turned their cards over to Haas Thursday, and that a third student burned his dralt card arter the rally. IRREGULAR ACTS BY SENATE By TOM THOMAS Questions of Irregular procedure and conflict of interest have been raised over action taken by the Senate Monday night Following last week's complaints about the interviewing process for finance com- mittee chairman, the Senate met to in- terview all applicants for the position.
