May 9: W appo d by about 450 oi the 600 The World Is Watching Grinnell Stands Up And is Counted By Tom Greenfield Grinnell College ushered itself into the world of political com- mitment when that great, big, willowy, voluptuous hunk oi flesh, The Body oi the Whole, got itself together and laid it‘all on the line last Tuesdav morning. With'a crucial'iaculty meeting a mere twenty minutes away The Bod decided to approve a stator menl to the effect that the institur tion of Grinnell does not like the Cambodian War or political rer pression, The Bod doesn't like what is happening to political prir Sorters either, but that‘s going to have to wait on account oi “prior flies") and will close down ”all operations“ to talk things over and to protest hither and yon. In spite OI the Bod's ability to pass a hastily written proposal, many people present were troubled by the latiguc and wanr der lust which invariably takes over the Bod’s collective “mind". It seems that whenever the bod gets itself together to whoop it up in the South Lounge over R. A. Policism, sex in the dorms, poles, This is Ca 5.

This is indicative of the (act that here at Grinnell, there are no Satisfactory outlets for the “real life" type frustrations which oc- casionally permeate our hard- candy shell and scare hell out of us. it there is a major and terri» lying injustice committed somewhere else, we at Grinnell are really unequipped for a sig- nificant — even appropriate e response. Fox example, Jim Hartog’s schwantz planted iirmly against the Burliiig Library door does not remind me of four dead students in Ohio. Instead it reminds me of Jim Hartog’s schwantz ~ a sub. ject which is not easy to take at 8 o'clock in the morning. The Chuck Garman Phil Mears et.al. “Anti -Militarism, Anti-Imperialr ism, Sitrln and Hootenanny” at the ROTC building does not bring to mind that militarism is bad news. It reminds me that Chuck Garman likes to have a good time and Phil Mears needs Something to do when the pool room is w~ t .1; .

And So the masquerade runs through to the Bod, The Bod stated that “all operation?" would be closed, yet 20 dorms, 2 caieterias, 2 gyms, the health center, and the south campus toy chest were all buzzing away with usual iervor. Dale Hawn’s ability to run 70 per cent oi our facilities when all operations were closed can only be viewed with wonder — kind oi like the heating plant’s answer to the immaculate Conr ception.
