Friday. November 7. m9 LETTERS TO THE ‘EDITOR Refutes Dean Wall 0n FBI Statement To the Editor: I would Ii e to correct the mis- ‘nformatian presented by Dean “7311 concerning the recent. FBI investigations. I was involved in the investigation because my roommate was arrested in Chis cago. Contrary to Dean Wall’s statement I was not contacted by anyone in administrative au- thority, and the meagre attempt to relay :1 message failed mis erably. No one ever inioimed me of my legal rights. I was not aware that 1 could have had legal counsel or someone pre- sent during the questioning. There was never any agreement to meet with the agents. I did so only because no alternatives were ever presented. AnnrJanine Morey ’73 Asks Frank for "Proof" To the Editor: (Re: “Des Moines Register" 29 October 1969 pp. 1 st 7) Lawrence Frank, a member of the Grillnell college com. munity, and one of those who went to the SDS meetings and demonstrations in Chicago over the weekend at October 11, made the statement that he and some others (he used the term ”we") “saw information passing both ways" between the college administration and the FBI be. fore and during the meetings with several members of the group that was under investiga— tion by the FBI As a member oi the college community. as well as a citizen at the United States. interested in what is happening around me. I would call upon Mr. Frank to publicly state, without any equivocation or double talk. exactly what information he and his lricnds “saw” pass trom the administration to the FBI. So iar, all he has done is to call the administration’s words into question; that's hardly proof of anything. To indict is one thing; con- viction requires proof, So iar, there has been none. Jim Greaves, ’71 Ob Squad "Too 0b" To the Editor: As both a Grlnnell alum and a “townie" of recent years, I have been favorably impressed with the growing support tor Grinnell athletics as evidenced by increasing attendance at games and the spirited enthus- iasm among spectators This tall the “Oh Squa Grinnell's unorthodox cheering section, has provided it unusual but lively support tor the root ball team both at home games and away. This support sur- Dasscs any enthusiasm I have witnessed at Grinnell since my undergraduate days here. In addition to the spirit they rally. their comic although sometimes offrcolor antics have Provided a source of amusement and entertainment for the rest of the crowd until recently. Many of the cheers used with gusto at the Monmouth game were extremely distasteful to those spectators who support Grinnell College, Gl'innell ath- letics, and Grinncll students and NIH) enjoy taking their children 70 Grinnell games. I hope that during the basketball season the 0b Squad will continue its an- ties, but with more intelligent ingenuity and less founlettel‘ words. Dorothy Smardack Palmer, ‘62 1733 Country Club Drive Grinnell, Iowa Wants Manners on Campus To the Editor: I would like to comment upon the ideal of the college com- munity and its debasement on this campus. I conjecture that its maltreatment is derived not from ignorance her lack of ideals, but egocentrism and self~ interest, We hear news to surfeit about the purportedly “beautiful peo. ple;" the liberal, considerate. nonsplastic, humanitarian, gor- geous, groovy, wonderful, lov- able person. And. supposedly, there should he a very largo number of such beings on this very campus. Many people staunchly maintain that there are; l staunchly maintain that the only things that are beauti. Iul around here are perhaps the trees and maybe a dog and a squirrel here and there, ”I’m generalizing, 1 know, all you little debaters and student Il'uUlVS continue to lie wilhdrawn from South Vielnalin (Cartoon from Muhammad Speaks/LN); SCARLET AND BLACK EQ©L©©Y Page rive‘ pneumonia“. e mum cast-re smamu environment EvoLtmoN ENClRCLE ENHCHMENT ENLIGHTENMENT EROS EDUCE EMPATHV EVE EMOTION ECSTASV EXISTENCE Ere.

I say potentially. (I can just hear my “friends” saying, “He must mean me") The foundations of my argu ment stem from small ann0y~ ances, which in gestalt build to create fissional iorces rather than cohesive ones and are thus detrimental to the college com. nunity as well as contributing to the “ugliness” of many indi. viduals . . l_recall with sentiments bor- dering on violent nausea incl- dents of blatant and obnoxious selfishness in the dorms. intra- mural sports, collegiate events, meal lines, dining halls, and extracurricular activities. 1 or. ten find it extremely diii‘icult to stand in meal Lines without closing my eyes so that 1 don’t have to see all of the people doing all their little obnoxious shticks with the added annoys ance of asininc “jock” cuts. Al- 50, I have vowed not to partici. pate in intramural sports due to already bad experiences. Some of these affronts have been personal but most have a generally prismatic eliect on the community as a whole. 0th- er manifestations of this sub eretan moronic behavior are ob- servable in the broken iorum door and other destruction of college property which is, in actuality, our property that is being destroyed by the very pteople (us) who are paying for V . The popular generic term “ego trip” very adequately ex. presses a major cause of this entire problem. You don’t have to be socialistic to be at least a little humanistic and sincerely considerate. I say sincerely con- siderate; attectatlon does not belong here. We can do nicell without pseudodiberalism. But, if everyone would just still maintain their individuality on a less obnoxious level, condi. tions might be at least tolerable. l, for one. am sick and tired of living with people whose exist. once is defined by slovenly ar- cissistic behavior and swi ish attitudes, I am exasperated by the misinterpretation of “free— don-l“ as license to proceed to tally uninhibited by anything new iris ,9, 9M but self-interest. I am disap. pointed that. at Grinnell Col- lege, it is exigent to be extreme. ly aggressive and thoughtless in all activities including such nor. mal ones as eating and trying to enioy yourself somewhat at sport or whatever. All you ogotiippci-s, Bob Dylan has a question for you: “Are you afraid somebody is going to steal your toilet paper?" Jeff Miller ‘13 Bring 'Em Home To the Editor: Many of my college friends and fellow countrymen are probably 11 under the false assumpv n that President Nixon plans to end our military commitment in Vietnam and abolish the Present draft System The ar- rival of my induction notice on 24 Oct, 1969 awakened me to the fact that the United States population has been consuming a steady stream or propaganda concerning these issues for the last few months. at least. After three months of job hunting. both through employ- ment agencies and individually, it became apparent that most employers are extremely hesi— tant about hiring 17A college graduates. When Nixon an- nounced that troop withdrawals from Vietnam made it possible to spread the induction of those men on the October Call over November and December and cancel the calls for these later two months, I approached my local board and was informed that I would not be threatened with induction until after the first of the year. I decided to seek temporary employment to await what I thought would he a rapidly coming announcement that the draft system had been drastically modified. I was giv. en a job in a local US. Post Oir [ice and proceeded to make a tow charge purchases, i now find myself in a bind to pay my debts before my induction on 12 Nov. 1969, My local board said that they too were surprised to receive orders for a November call. They also mentioned that the call was the largest in sev- eral months. It is time that the American people is given the truth by its government. I urge you to do everything in your power to in. fluente congressmen and other elected officials. Let's get all of our representatives striving to end the war in Vietnam, the present Selective System, and the steady stream oi mi n- formation ilowing from the or. (ice of the President of the United States. it is not in the least hard to understand why many of my contemporaries want revolution. They and 1 both hope for a totally tree and equal world where all men are treated as individual humans rather than numbers, While this totally irec world is impossible without a third world war, there is no valid reason that the United States can not be. some more free and humane. Only an actively concerned pub. lic can put an end to the in- human treatment of our mi i. tary system, No longer is it realistic for the us. to try to protect the rest at the world irom communist aggression. Now is the time to bring our men home where they belong to help make our country a better place to live and work. c. Fredric Field 1651 Hawthorne Ave Westchester, lll.
