Apparently,no such Others of Riverview‘s quality exist in the country. The men felt this a terrible injustice to others not so for tunate as they, who have no chance to readjust before be ing thrust into society. They pointed out that quite a bit of social change occurs when a man is behind bars for 25,10, or even 2 years. They figured that this was a large factor contributing to multiple- crime convictions, statingthat about 42% of men who have spent long periods of time in hard- core institutions return to criminal activities, while only about 4-10% of those re- leased after six months or more of readjustment at Riv- erview commit future crimes. When asked what they felt should be done about stateand federal penal practices, they agreed that more release cen- ters such as Riverview should be built. McDaniel felt that, eventually, most penitentiar- ies should be phased out in favor of the release center approach. He believed that penalties for first-offenders should be increased, to ena able them to reevaluate them~ selves and to make use of the counseling services which wo— uld be made available to them. He continued with a proposal to increase second-offense sentences, to serve as incen- tive for firstroffenders to reorient themselves the first time, rather than slowly, after many convictions, or never at all; When asked if they were at all bitter about what society had done to them, they ans- wered “No," to a man. They agreed that they had felt bit— terness at first, but that, as time had gone on, their atti» tudes had changed toward th~ eir captors. They felt that time had softened their bit- terness and had replaced it with a determination to ad- just to the society they had left.

Folloiw ing on the heels ofMarkHam- ilton and his SAGA tacos, North Younker residents Ch- arles Brichford, Steven Ad- ams, David Beeman,Pete Nels son, and Langan resident Don Dagenais demolished the res cord of the number of SAGA strawberry shortcakes cone sumecl during the course ofa meal (the old record: 46, a 9.2 per person average). In a mere 40 minutes, the quintet downed not only their steak dinners, but no fewer than 50 shortcakes (led by Steven Ad- ams' record-tying l3 consu- med), a 10.0 per person aV’ erage. At the conclusion of the feat, the Younker four engaged in a race back to the dorm, climaxed by the sudden ape pearance of violent stomach pains.

BLACK November 13, 1970 Mogee Describes Stay In Ethiopia "Ethiopia is a fascinating place, but it is a very closed society; they keep foreigners at a distance,” saidDr. James Magee, Grinneil's resident expert on African economic cooperation. "Its government is very similar to the feudal societies of Europe in the 14th and 15th centuries; although they do have lightbulbs and modern weaponry and such, the structure of the economy is very backward." Magee, who is also an Associate Pro» fessor of Political Science here, was describing his ex periences in Ethiopia during the first six months of 1969. For the past year and a half, Magee has been on leave from Grinnell, the first semester on an ACM noanestcrn study grant, the last year on a sab- batital. His first six months were spent in Ethiopia doing re* search at the headquarters of the U.N. Economic Commis sion for Africa. His arrivalin late January ofl969 fortunater ly occurred during the tenth anniversary session of the Economic Commission. As a result Magee found the visit a "very exciting"experience, since the convention was con- cerned directly with his own specific area of interest. His last year of leave was spent at New York and at Fri inceton, where he studied the nature of the problem inmore detail and also did research at the United Nations.

The creation of anecono~ mic union between countries, accompanied with the break- ing down of tariff barriers, would expand the market in order that such factories could be built, thus helping Africa to climb out of the depths of their present situation, which he describes as that of “sub sistence peasant economies." He sees the chance of formr ing such a union, however, as being very small. Newlyrinr dependent nations are “jeal- ous of their sovereignty" and suspicious of each other. Sm- all countries tend to feel that the larger countries (such as Nigeria) would dominate such a union, while larger countries out of spite tend to boycott the idea. Such suspicions pre- vent any real progress when the bargaining gets down to such details as the location of the factories. Magee sees the nature of Af- rican politics as basically ”unsettled." The military has within the past ten years he come a much more powerful political force than in thepast.

Magce believes that Africa has not made the ewe nomic and social advances predicted ten years ago by such African leaders preciser 1y because of the misunder- standing of those who govern concerning the realnatureand scope of the problems. On the other hand, Ethiopia's govern- mentp although closer to the people, has little motivation for economic development. A balance between the two for ces, he predicts, will be near cssary before real headway can be made. Faculty Delinte (continued from page 4) advisers.
