Page Two SCARLET AND BLACK Friday, November I4, W67 J/Lcé‘imattc float By Henry Scheff At a mass‘meeting attended by some 250'students Tuesday night in-Roberts Theatre, the Grinnell Student Senate passed _.a resolution endorsing the basic philosophy of the Student Positiori' Paper. The students at the rneeting'elected a six»man steering committee to sort‘ through amendments and to Inlake recommendations at an open ’h—leeting next week. After the senate has acted on the amendments, the Position Paper will be submitted to the student body for an all-campus referendum. The six members elected to the steering committee are Phil Mears, Bill -Stranger, “Gene” Prewo (who impressed the meeting with his incisive criticisms), Steve Schwartz, Bruce Nissen, and Mick Schaalman. Specifically, they have the following powers: 1) They will divide the amendments into two groups, substantive amendments and “nit - picking” amendments. They will make block recom» mendations on tihe "nit- pickers” to the Senate, moving that they accept the amendments that they feel ap- propriate and reject the others. Then, the Senate will consider the substantive amendments one at a time for approval. 2) They will have immediate negotiating and discussion power and authority, so that they may meet with adminis- trators and faculty without delay. There are many areas of college governance that the student body is ignorant of, and this committee can begin to work on these matters. The faculty and administration are anxious to begin discussions with the students. The steering committee will also have the duty of informing the student body of the sub- stance of the discussions that fliey will be carrying out with the administration and faculty. This liaison function is crucial to maintaining student interest and support for the issues raised by the Position Paper. A number of suggestions and amendments were made at the beginning of the meeting, but basically only a couple of im- portant things were cleared up. The preamble will be “cleaned up” by the steering committee because it is gram- matically weak. The wording of one sentence was changed, and more will probably be done. The essence of the pre amble is at this date un- changed. The most important debate of the meeting concerned the necessity of including Section I of the Proposals for Structural Change, the creation of the Co ordinating Council of the Col- lege. Gene Prewo argued that if the purpose of the paper was to democratize or decen- tralize the decisionrmaking power of the college, then the proposed Coordinating Council was inconsistent with this phil- osophy, and it ought to be eliminated. Bruce Nissen was sympa- thetic to Frewo’s argument, but he felt that the student- faculty-administration commit- tee was needed at the top as a check on President Leggett, who legally has the final pow. er in college decisions. Tom Thomas pointed out that the Council as proposed did not wield very much pow- er; it could make recommen- dations and had veto power which could be overturned by a two-thirds vote. The students at the meeting felt that the advantages of hav- ing a Coordinating Council out- weighed the disadvantages, and voted to keep Section I as part of the proposed docu- ment. There were several impor- tant amendments to the section on the All-Campus Judicial Council, Section IV, Part C, Number 3, '(Procedures) clauses “d" and “er” Clause “d” was amended to state that written records of Judicial Council proceedings shall be kept, and the defendant has the option of having his name on the record or not. The ra- tionale for this is that the council needs records of all cases to establish clear prece- dents, but should still protect the individual from further harassment due to any punish- ment that he may have re- ceived from the Council, Clause ”e” was amended to clarify the fact that the President in appeal cases does not have the power to increase punishment. He may uphold the Judicial Council decision, lighten the punishment, or dis- miss punishment completely if he so desires, at his own dis- cretion. If any student has amendr ments to the document, submit them immediately if not soon er to one of the members of the steering committee, Come to the next couple of senate meetings if you are interested in what happens to the amend- mentsi When the referendum is announced. study the amend- ed document carefully and then vote. Power to the people! The senate has gotten into the habit of holding quicky meetings before the large Stu- dent Body meetings, and Tues» day’s meeting was no excep- tion. The senate Tuesday acted on a number of important matters. First, the Senate al- lotted an additional 550 for the Conspiracy 8. Contribu- tions were rather poor during John Froines' Visit, totaling maybe $100. The PPPE was expected to kick in another $100 to help defray costs, but for some reason the PPFE de- cided that this was not an ap- propriate way to use their money. The Senate had originally al- located $150 from the speakers fund. With the extra $50, that gives the Conspiracy about $300, out of which they had to pay Froines‘ expenses. Con- 'sidering the importance of the trial. this “outpouring" was pathetic indeed. Only $100 in direct contributions” although, as Froines so painfully stated. we are all on trial in Chicago. Senator Dave Eroadwell submitted a motion to strike the controversial “implicit sup ".1 POWER TO THE PEOPLE: The student senate suspended its niles at a mass meeting Tuesday and allowed some 200 stuv dents in attendance to vote on motions about the Student Posi- tion Paper. port of the war by not partici- pating in the Moratorium” clause from the Senate resolu- tion on the Moratorium that was passed last week, in a close vote the motion was de- feated. and the resolution stands as originally passed by the Senate and affirmed by 55% of the students voting in the student opinion poll. The Student Coordinator’s Bulletin will be coming out soon with information on the general use oi the Forum dark- room and the senate policy on SAGA line-cutting.

Washington Mobilization star tistics: over 70 Grinnell stuv dents going, $1,087 dollars raised by the students so far, a grant of $300 dollars from the American Friends Service Committee, $192.50 from the Initiative Fund, and a $459.50 grant from the Senate, Any extra money will be returned to the senate.

The Gadr abouts Chairman is responsibile for only one event during the first semester, Homecoming, and since that is over, I wrote the check for my salary.” The charges of kickbacks were raised last week by several students dissatisfied with the cost of the Home coming dance. The Student Coordinator’s office is current- ly investigating the charges. GLASSES Made and Repaired in Our Laboratory Contact Lenses Cases and Solutions Eyes Examined Phone 236-3979 E. I.

These postcards Will then be sent in bulk to the Moratorium office in Washington, D.C., where they will be sent to the White House. Plans for today included continued canvassing of the town and a scheduled collection of garbage around Lake Nyanza Park on the south edge of town. Evidently some townspeople suggested the action as a means of improving campus- community relations, and the Moratorium Committee felt it would be in keeping with the aim of the Moratorium. Its aim, expressed in a statement released Wednesday, “is to di- rect our energy into the com munity.” That statement further ems phasized that the Moratorium is to be an individual commit- ment, and not an attempt to close down the institution of Grinnell college “simply for the sake of shutting it down.” Class attendance seemed markedly decreased Thursday morning, but to what degree “business as usual” was halted is impossible to determine. Asked to estimate how many professors held classes yesterday, Dean Joseph F. Wall replied, “I have no idea.” Moratorium days were not business as usual, however, for an estimated 80 Grinnell stu- dents who went to Washington for the “March Against Death,” nor for another 46 students who went to Des Moines last night to picket a speech by Vice President Spiro Agnew.
