Page Elghf by MARK GRAESER , in the resolution of black stu. 'dent problems on college cam- puses, Grinnell has been as ras inarkable in its calm as others have in their turmoil. Changes that have been accompanied by yiolonoe on scores or campusol have occurred at Grinneli quiet- and seemingly without prob. ‘ms, These changes are the result of black student “recom- riendstions" made to a Ma 0 meeting of the college trus - oes in Chicago. » A resolution paged by tho trustees at that time stated the intent of the college “to deal, in all reasonable ways, with tho hhallonge of developing a goal» ity pmgraiu of higher education {or black students and . . . to approve such budgetary de< iiciencies as may be deemed by itself and the president to be necessary and appro note to implement this policy.’ “Specifically, the Board en- dorses the president’s present Intent to continue the axlstin scholarship program [or black students and to recruit necess- pry faculty and staif preferably black, to develop a studies pro- gram (both academically and extra-curriculerly) so as to im- prove and make more relevant the intellectual and emotional environment of the Grinnell College community tor all stu- dents, faculty and stall, both black and white.“ The recolilnicndatlons, which both black and administration sources preferred to term “ile- clarationsoi need," were, in addition to mose stated in the trustee resolution: additional black professors in all fields, black advisors and counselors in both Admissions and Deans offices, special consideration of black students from poor secon- dary education backgrounds b the Admissions cities, an of campus Black Culture House, a minimum at sixteeon black freshmen in the class of 1973 and future years, and college supplementation of tho Rockoa teller Foundation grants to min< ority students (the Rockefeller grants had been scheduled for a complete phaseout in two to three years.) Changes Underway W Implementation of all these recommendations is under- way, although each ls in a diflerent stage of devel- opment. Additional black pros icssors and a comprehensive black studies program are still in embryonic stages due to keen competition for “qualified" per- sons. At present only a "Specia} General Education Program1 exists in AtroAi-narican Studies, but it is hoped that by second semester is tentative major will be available. A lectureship series in Black Studies is planned for this sem- ester, and possible speakers will be Saunders Reddillg, a Morehouse College historian.

There are two new black faces ill the Dean's ofilce, Con- ney M. Kimbo, Associate Dean of Students; and Mrs. Dorothy 'P. Guy, counselor to women students. “Dean Kimbo was hired be- cause he is highly qualified, not because he is black." asserted Dean Alice Low. Kimbo's duties will coincide with those of for- mer Dean 5, Eugene Thompson (except for the editorship of tho Grlnnell Magazine, plus soma additional responsibilities. Hil blackness is not being emphas- ized, and he wants to be seen as an all-campus advisor. “I doubt if the black students knew l was going to be hired until it. happened," said Dean Kimbo, smiling. Counselors Appointed Mr. and Mrs. Charles R. any will be Grilmeli's black couple in residence. Before coming to Grinneli, the Guy's taught in Mississippi. Guy will work in the Admissions oriice, Mrs. Guy in the Dean's Office. Her title is listed in the catalog as “Advisor to Black Women Stu- dents," but Mrs, bow assures that she will be available to all women students. Mrs. Guy will fill a real vacuum in student advising. Whereas black men have at least had a few black professors with Whom to identity and seek adVlce, black women have had no one. M. Charles Seller, Associate Dean of Administra~ lion, put it this way: ”women who are black have had no peru son with whom they may disa cuss their situation. They feel particularly isolated." To serve in a general ad- visory capacity to black stu- dents, there will he a joint. Black Student Coordinating Committee, representing the Student Government Associa- tion, the Concerned Black Stirs dents (CBS), the Student Coord- inator's office, the faculty and the administration. in regard to self»advisillg, the black student organization on campus, Concerned Black Stu- dents, has also undergone “134 jor restructuring. Instead of a president shoulderillg the ad ministrative burden as in past years, there will be a governing triumvirate, c o in p o s e d of sophomore Linda Copeland, and seniors Frank Thomas and Gregg Coggs. “Protectorate oi! the People" This new governing body for CBS will be called “kotol-ro," on African term of unknown ol'< igin meaning “protectorate or the people”, when asked if he thought black students at Grin- nell need protection, Thomas replied, “I think Black students everywhere need protection." With all of their requests acceded to by the adminis- tration. CBS's future policy is uncertain. Asked what specific plans they have for this year, last year's CBS president Er» Saturday. September is. not nest Weston said, “we don’t know yet.” Frank Thomas says the most immediate. though less tangible, probleln to be solved by black students “is to develop a better understand“: of ourselves and our potential.‘ The most visible of the new developments millteting toward this ideal oi pride and sell-con- fidenco is the Black Culture House. It is located on the corner of Tenth and Park streets, adjacent to the soccer lield. its focus will be, simply, black culture, and all that it entails. A library, artistic dis- plays oi all kinds, discussion groups and seminars are planned to explore the cultures of black people in America and elsewhere. Two students will live there as caretakers, and presently sophomores K a r e n ooldridge and Pat Baird are serving in this capacity. All Welcome Administration and black' Stun dent spokesmen emphasized the “openness” of the new house. “it is not for blacks only,” am- phasized Dean Kimbo, Thomas also emphasized that aspect oi the new house. “It is for the general good of Grinnell, We hope to have students and administration working together- through the Black Culture House toward the College Responds to Woman s by blocks 1 realization of the Crime“ ideal," Thomas said. Like CBS, the administration is uncertain about the next steps that will be taken to respond to black needs at Grin. hell. Recruitment of next year's black freshmen must continue, additional black professorl must be. iound, and develop. ment of a viable Black Studies department must continue; but apart. irom these well mog- nized and specific needs, long range policy has yet to gel. As Dean Seller stated, “We have to pick up at this point and see what we're going to work towar ." Dean Seller oommented furs ther on the new developments, and in doing so seemed to give expression to the ieellngs apparently held by many at those involved in the new changosl “The black students made I very constructive effort and the college listened to what they had to say, and in doing so learned a great deal about the particular problems they face in coming to a predominantly white college. I think they are satlslled with the way the col- iege has tried to respond, 0! course, they want to see no follow up on our decisions. None at us is satisfied to let things ride, We must-continue to im- plement these programs." ‘ KDIC Resumes Peg Morrison, manager of KDIC, looks forward to the campus radio station's second year or broadcasting. KDIC, Grinnell's lorwatt educational radio station at 89.5 on the EM. dial began broadcasting early last week, KDIC’s broadcasting history began in May, 1968, when it presented a brief schedule of programs, going all the air im- mediately alter Alumni Week- end. Continuing last; school year, under the managership of Al Cloud, it completed its iirst full year of broadcasting in the small studio built over Darby gym — a waiting room, record library, and Z-room studio, KDIC’s first broadcast' this school year, from this studio, was on Wednesday, Sept. 3, at 4:00 pm, when sophomore Pat Corbett went on the air, Peg Morrison and executive board member Paul Lewis agree that there are some for- tuitous changes in station pol- icy since the last show of last year. Miss Morrison summarized, “it’s no longer a new station; it should concentrate on being a responsible and reliable sta- tion,” . Paul Lewis is KDIC's Pro‘ gram Director. He is eager. and vocal, about the potential role at the radio station as a creative outlet for the student body. “The radio station exists by and tor the student body," he Broadcasting said, “it can and should be a creative outlet, particularly in the formal areas of music and drama. but also in the informal areas, like the talk shows.” Student personnel last year numbered nearly 100, or 1 out at every 17 or 18 students. it, is expected to remain at this level during the year. The disc jockeys and newsu casters work on a 7-day-arweek programming schedule, from 4 to 12 each afternoon. Their prlr grams are divided into several categories to provide’a cross- section or campus listening i terest. Reviews and previews at events Will be interspersed in a format leaturing rock, classical, blues, and country- western music. Plans are underway for a more campuscrlented approach in broadcasting than last year, with emphasis being placed on campus news and talents. Use of “distributive services” will be reduced. Services such as the BBC, Radio Fairs, and the intercollegiate Broadcast Serve ice with their prerecorded shows, may be largely re- placed by presentations or the viewpoints of faculty and ad‘ ministration. “it's a thrust to im p r o v e communication," a staff member remarked. Interviews for disc jockeys. technical and production people, and newscasters begin on Mon- day, September 15, Professor William .Vanderpcol at 'the newly formed Communications . Department is the faculty ad< viser to KDlC.
