Friday. March o. l970 President's Report: The Structure 01‘ Student Power Committees Play Toward the end of last term, in response to the desire of students to consider how they might play a more effective role in the decisionrmaking process of the college, i asked Messr. Kimbo, Milner, Ryan, Walker and Kleinschmidt of the faculty and staff to meet with Messrs Cohen, Lew, Mears. Nissen, Schaalman. and F, Thomas, students who had been appointed by the Student Senate, and form an Ad Hot: Committee to deliberate what Considerations and procedures it thought might be most effective. Subsequently, this Ad Hoc Committee established three sub- committees, as follows: (1) Committee on Social Rules and Regulations Students: Ida Gudema Lauren Levatin Steven Ma nnheimer EstherMosak Daniel Moshenberg Noantudenls: Mr. Finley Mr. Kimbo Mr. Mullins Mr. Obermiller Mr.Worley (2) Committee on Services Students: 1.

When these recommendations are ready, i expect them to be presented via the Dean of Students' office to a group I shall designate as “Committee A," (for Ad ministration), which will Consist of Deans Wall, Walker, Low and Kimbo; the Chairman of the Faculty, Professor Kleinr Schmidt; and the three elected members of the StuderLt DRl DUANE L.

This committee and its particular function will continue. A parallel group, consisting of members of the original come mittee, plus two additional students designated by the Studentb/ Student Senate and Dean WalL as a resource person _is now being set up by the Ad Hoc Committee The mandate of the enlarged groups is to review the existing decisionemaking processes, to evaluate established procedures, formulate recom- mendations That is to say, the function of the enlarged Comr mittee on Counseling, within its area, is procedurally similar to that ol' the Committee on Social Rules and Regulations and the Committee on Counseling will make its recommendations via the Dean of the College to “Committee A,” which will then proceed to forward its recomr mendations to me and the trustees as will the Committee on Social Rules and Regulations and the Committee on Student Services, While these committees set about doing their work, the processes of the College must continue, Existing decision: making mechanisms must go on, For instance, the College must begin almost immediately to interview candidate for a counseling position for an associate dean of students and for student and resident. advisors. in this interviewing process, appropriate student and fl'tfi‘” Thurs. thru Sar.

Ideally, I would prefer to wait for such interviewing until the three committees had made their recommendations and the trustees had responded, but the rapidly approaching end of this year, the need of the committees to deliberate without undue haste. and the supply of available candidates are matters which have to be considered realistically and promptly. Other student Senate comr mittees which are more con- cerned with short-range planning will make their recom- mendations through regularly established Channels, It is my understanding that the Student Housing Committee and the Student Handbook Committee are now meeting with the Deans of Students and making recommendations which affect planning [or this semester. The Drug Committee, established by the Student Senate during the fall semester lose to plan the drug symposium, has been enlarged to include three faculty members, two resident advisers, and seven students Its responsibility is to make recommendations for an on-going educational program (including perhaps a “crisis clinic") ap~ propriatc to Grinnell College. Specific recommendations for the formulation of any programs will be sent to the Committee on‘ Student Affairs. This Committee will study the proposals and its comments and recomr mendations, and submit both reports to me. i believe you can all see that the period between now and the middle of May will be extremely busy for all who are serving on the Committees, for the in- terviewing teams, and for all those involved in the general process of giving constructive thought to how the decision making processes of the College can be made more represen- tative and more effective, For my part, I want to keep frustration and impatience to Ca LEO’S STANDARD CAR STARTS TUNE-UP 8r LUBRICATION WHAT’S NEW IS FROM GUATEMALA!

Swedish Clogs EMPHASIS 905 Main Page Three New York Brass Quintet By Kathryn Heinze The New York Brass Quintet, performing under the auspices of the Grinnell College Concert Series, presented a concert last Saturday evening February 28 in l-ierrick Chapel. The quintet, considered to be one of the best in the country, played to an en- thusiastic full house and even merited a standing ovation from a small number of Grinnell students. The program which included works from every century since the sixteenth presented an interesting sam- pling of brass music from all musical periods. Special em- phasis was put on the twentieth century, and for those (fiinr nellians who have developed an allergy to contemporary music. the intermission provided an excellent opportunity for exit. To this writer’s way of thinking, it is unfortunate that so many people chose to turn chicken and run away at the threat of hearing something more modern than J. 5. Each; they missed several very interesting and challenging works and forfeited the op- portunity to see an impressive array of brass mutes which ranged from a plumber’s friend to a tuba mute that was so large it reminded one of a footstool.‘ The concert opened with an anonymous sonata from “Die Bankelsanerlieder" (“Bench- Singers Songs”). The Bench minimum, so that what finally comes out will represent our best and most sensible efforts. From time to time, between now and May, I hope to be able to give you progress reports, by letter or general meeting, or perhaps by both, INTERESTED IN AN OVERSEAS CAREER? Dr. Jay B.

Their intonation was superb, their lone robust, their runs even and they even played soitlyl The latter comment had no sarcastic intent; it is just mat amateur musicians perpetuate the myth that it is impossible to play a brass instrument at a softer dynamic level than mezzo forte. The New York Brass Quintet destroyed that myth widlin the first few measures of the first work. It was indeed a joyful discovery. The first half of the program remained within the baroque tradition with the exception of the Ewald_ Persichetti Works.“Qu t in B-flat minor. “Opus 5” by Victor Ewald was perhaps the least famous work performed. it was written by an obscure Russian composer and represents one of the few nineteenth century compositions in the brass chamber mustc repertoire. Even though it was described in the program notes as having some musical value, I found it to be much less exciting and interesting than the other works.
