Friday, April 3, 1970 W helm Continued from page 6 yearbook, altllough unavoidable trom the college’s standpoint, was unfortunate because it deprived the community ot what was a new, creative kind of year- book and because it alienated Wilhelm from the college. To others, the controversy was not only untortunate [or the college and its image and Wilhelm but itwas also unnecessary. Willlelm thought that libel was not really an issue in the year book controversy; the lawyer that he retained at this time was or the opinion that there was no libel in the yearbook. In Wil~ helm’s mind, it was a case of censorship by President Leggett, since the yearbook was, ac- cording to Wilhelm, “critical of Leggett personally,” and because it. presented an “ab iectlve, complete report oi the college that wasn't quite with the public relations image or the college.” The college's action then, Wilhelm. says, was “an absolute smear to try to save its own reputation, and absolutely despicable." There are apparently many faculty now who, looking back on the situation in 1967, would agree with Wilhelm that the yearbook should have been published as Wilhelm made it originally. These faculty members and Wilhelm seem to think that, if the same kind oi situation oc curred today, the college would be forced to act diiterently. Then, however, the fiblications Committee was still balanced in iavor ot faculty; students were less assertive ottheir own powers and rights, and, possibly most important, the college was much more sensitive to the drug THE UNDERSHIRT LOOK Aileen takes the undershirt and are ex it up for the gi It's the tank top gone long, the v\ on scooped low.

I am not Convinced, however, that the student body, or its represen- tatives. should have an absolute veto power over the taculty on curricular matters, and that is the heart of this proposal. There are ale.“ some rather cumr bersomt’fgt ieatures in its machinery. So, while I cannot vote tor the proposal in its present form. I hope that it can be modified in such a way that Iwill be able to support it, Charles Ayers, German: There seems to be a good deal of popular misconception as to what this committee is really supposed to be. Is it a “student power curricular" group as it is characterized in last weeks’ SM}. or simply a rather harmless sounding Committee on Curricular and Academic Afr fairs? One major danger ot this proposal lies, in my opinion, in this discrepancy between the committee's purported tunction, it, review and long-range planning, and the popular con- ception 01‘ its role among a large number of students and faculty who seem to View the committee as an organ being instituted to immediately carry out certain tasks These tasks are enumera- ted In section one under “Duties" and consist of the abolition of graduation requirements and the grading system as it now exists, ) Ecology Continued from page 1 editor of “Ramparts” magazine, will add his ideas.
