    FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6,1972
    .
    by Fred Horecky
    Grinnell students' active in the
    local McGovern for President cam-
    paign have recently announced a
    series of fund raising and canvas-
    sing activities on the campus and in
    the town, as part of the. statewide
    McGovern campaign.
    The most pressing activity of the
    McGovern organization at tlus time,
    according to workers, is the can-
    vassing. The purpose of canvassing
    is to determine who the potential
    Democratic voters are, and to get
    them to vote. Canvassing activi-
    ti es are presently taking place in
    various cities and campuses around
    the state, and have already been
    conducted by Grinnell students in
    Marshalltown, ottumwa and Cedar
    Rapids,
    The group plans to cond1.\ct a door-
    to-door canvas of every ,residence
    tended hours in academic buildings.
    The current proposal would keep
    the Fine Arts, Science, Library,
    and Carnegie, buildings' open until
    2 a.m. This, however, has met strong
    faculty opposition, mainly because
    of security problems in the Science
    building and in Fine Arts buildings,
    and because of possible staffing
    problems in the library.
    President Nixon proclaimed Sept.
    26, 1972 as National Student Govern-
    ment Day. Anyone interested in
    seeing the official proclamation may
    do so at the Student Coordinator's
    Office during office hours. Dn't
    worry about the line because there
    are two of them (they were sent
    in duplicate). Grinnell's SGA was
    unable to participate in the gala
    national festivities because of the
    late arrival of the document.

    of where the money went. This put
    the Auditor into a role of deciding
    on what policies her office would use
    to control the money, and it was these
    policies which became the center of
    controversy.
    The most recent issue has been the
    reimbursement policy. The Audi-
    tor's office, after consultation with
    Donald Lambie, the college trea-
    surer, had decided not to give re-
    imbursements on receipts submitted
    for events which had already
    occurred. This would help to pre-
    vent halls from purchasing alcoholic
    beverages with activity fund money
    and would prevent the alledgedly
    widespread practice of submitting
    falsified receipts.
    Taking issue with this, the Joint
    Boards passed a proposal by. Mary
    Damsgaard and Lynn Lichtenberger
    to instruct the Auditor's office to
    issue reimbursements, and also to
    bring any policy decisions
    to the Joint Boards. Many House
    Presidents expressed the opinion
    that a policy of no reimbursements
    would cramp the social style oftheir
    halls.
    Ms. Conway told the Joint Board
    that she would like to view her role
    as that of a bookkeeper, and as long
    as clear policy instructions are
    given her by the treas?rer of SGA
    (the Chairman of the Fmance
    mittee) she will follow them. It IS
    her opinion that the Auditor's office
    should be automonous and that the
    Auditor's salary should corne from
    the Office of the College Treasurer
    rath'er than from SGA.
    John Potts, however, expressed the
    opinion that SGA should retain a
    closer control of their bookkeeper
    by having control over the Auditor's
    salary. Other house presidents
    seemed' to hold this same opinion.
    In other SGA action, Russ Mac-
    Gregor SGA President, presented
    a prog;ess report on obtaining ex-
    ay Be Cancelled Noy. 7
    by Mike Breed
    The Joint Board recommendedthls
    week that classes at Grinnell be
    cancelled on election day, Novem-
    ber 7. The action, takenatthe week-
    lymeeting last Wednesday night,
    is a recommendation only--thepro-
    posal must pass the Executive Coun-
    cil and the faculty at large before
    it is official. Themoveis designedto
    allOW students who live nearGrinnell
    to travel to their homes to vote.
    Jerry Miranowski, student Demo-
    cratic campiagn worker who origi-
    nated the proposal, also hopes that
    the anticipated passge ,of the re-
    solution by the faculty will encour-
    age students to participate in
    tion day political activities and WIll
    emphasize the importance of the
    upcoming election. .
    Although no specific mechanism
    was supported by the Joint Boards
    to accomplish the cancellation of
    classes without missingactualclass
    days it has been suggested that the
    mid-semester break be moved up
    a week so that election day would
    be included in the break.
    Also taken up at the meeting was
    the issue of the Student Auditor's
    office which has been a source
    , .
    of controversy since the beginmng
    of the school year.
    In an S&B interview Wednesday
    morning Michelle Conway, the stu-
    dent Auditor, explained her role. in
    HIe controversy and also tried to
    define what she though the role of
    the auditor should be. Following the
    resignation of Loren Hart, who was
    Assistant Auditor last year and was
    to be Auditor this year, Ms. Conway
    was appointed Auditor. This made
    ner the first Auditor in recent SGA
    history, she explained, who had ?ot
    had tile experience of being ASSIS-
    tant Auditor for the preceeding year.
    SGA, through the Finance Commit-
    tee ' was at the same time calling
    for' a tighter control on the SGA bUd-
    get and a more accurate accounting
    in Grinnell this Saturday and Sun-
    day. An instructional meeting for
    interested students will be held at
    12:3D p.m. Saturday in ARH audi-
    torium. Presently being organized
    is a canvas of the Grinnell campus
    which should identify the extent of
    Democratic support in the college
    community.
    To finance the actiVities, the Mc-
    Govern group has planned a number
    of fund-raising activities. Approx-
    imately $100 has already been raised
    through student contributions, a bake
    . sale will be held today at 3:30 p.m.
    on central campus, and on Sunday,
    October 15 at 12:15 p.m. there will
    be a showing of Milhous in ARH
    auditorium, for which a small con-
    tribution wUl be requested.
    Following these activities, the next
    major effort of the group will be to
    organize election day activities.

    Born in Lithuaniabefore the second

    Finally, the SGA has allowed it-
    self to remain both flexible and mD-
    bile enough so that it may change

    on issues of extreme imporlance,
    can be bypassed. Hence, the Joint
    Board may choose not to refer a

    for voicing student sentiment and
    transferring that sentiment into pro-
    grams for cDnstructive change: 3)
    to prDvide adequate representative
    leadership for student vDice and

    1M football referee. Bob is also
    learning to SWim, an especially am-
    bitious and challenging project at :
    his age. . .
    The position as RA, Bob feels,
    is gratifying because he can create
    it out of what he came here with,
    rather than try to mold himself
    to the job. Individualism, it can be
    seen, is an important factor of his
    life. A great concern of his is that
    people will see him.only as his role
    as RAportrays him, not asaperson.
    What Bob does after this yeaI': at
    Grinnell remains to be seen. He sees
    it as a piece to a jigsaw
    ing to find the r>la;ce he will .fit
    Miss Donahoe also noted that the
    bank would make exceptions to the
    "checking account first" rule in the
    case of a student who wanted to de-
    posit tuition for second semester
    during the first semester. This, she
    told us was a legitimate purpose
    for a savings account, and the bank
    was usually willing to open sllch ac-
    counts.
    She added that the bank welcomes
    student business, and offers ser-
    vices which students generally may
    not be aware of. Tllis, she told the
    8&9, is one reason for the bank's
    service charges, and for the re-
    quirements it maintains for opening
    savings accounts.
    Grinnell FederalSa.vlngs maintains
    the most flexible policy of the three
    local institutions concerning student
    accounts. Mr. Martin o. O'Connor,
    the Association's President, told the
    S&B in a telephone interview that,
    "We welcon: \l them in any form they
    (the students) want them."
    He said that while some stUdent
    saVings accounts required a bit more
    work than other accounts, his Assoc-
    iation's palicy was to welcome all
    accounts as long as a minimumbal-
    ance of $1.00 was maintained.
    Each account, he told us, costs
    the Association about per month
    for time on the Chicago computer
    which handles the "bookkeeping"
    for saVings accounts. Thus, he said,
    an account with a $10 or $15 bal-
    ance is not profitable.
    At this time, the Association has
    no plans for making accounts more
    difficult to open. If it ever became
    necessary to require a higher mini-
    mum, or some other kind of re-
    striction to opening accounts, Jones
    added, the new regulations would be
    applied uniformly to all the Associ-
    ation's potential customersnnot
    just to Grinnell College students.
    Grinnell Federal Savingsdoeshave
    . one disadvantage, however henoted.
    Its offices are closed all day Sat-'
    urday, making advance planning. a
    .necessity for those who maintain
    accounts there. Both Poweshiek
    and Grinnell State maintain Satur-
    day office hours.
    Grinnell students can open savings
    accounts in Grinnell if they are per-
    sistent. But each of the town's fi-
    nancial institutions has a different
    policyhand students should be
    aware of them before they go in
    with their first deposit.

    careful not to get into a rut. A
    person may feel pressured to do the
    same things all the time, although he
    doesn't want to.
    Bob likes the varied activities he
    has found at Grinnell. He feels things
    are moving, something important to
    the life-style, he has chosen. The
    only complaint be makes is that per-
    haps they are moving too fast. This
    fast pace has not allowed him time

    SAVINGS ACCOUNTS
    Polides Vary Widely
    by John Wylie
    Grinnell' 5 three financial institu-
    tions--Ginnell State Bank, Powe-
    shiek County National Bank, and
    Grinnell Federal SaVings and Loan,
    have markedly different policies a-
    bout opening and maintaining student
    savings accounts.
    F, Addison Jones, President of the
    Grinnell State Bank, told the S&B
    in an interview last week that the
    bank's normal policy was to reject
    student requests for savings ac-
    counts "because that's not really
    what they want."
    Jones explained that most students
    who came into the Bank wanting
    to 'open a savings account were really
    interested in an account from wllich
    they could make frequent cash with-
    drawals.
    By his definition (and that of the
    other bankers who talked with the
    8&B) a savings account requires
    a fairly substantial balance, in add-
    ition to a fairly stable character.
    An account which fluctuates often
    and which has a consistently low
    balance simply does not qualify, as
    a savings account, according to
    Jones.
    . His bank's policy is to suggest
    to students wishing to open such
    accounts that they instead consider
    a checking account. The bank does,
    he added, make special exceptions
    in the cases of students whocandem-
    onstrate that they really need a
    savinks account. These are usually
    those students who already have a
    checking account, and who have some
    form of regular income they wish
    to deposit and have earn interest.
    Jones summarized by telling the
    8&B that, "We must serve the pub-
    lic, and part of that responsibility
    is to maintain the bank in sound
    condition." Since the Bank has found
    that saVings accounts are more ex-
    pensive to open than .checking ac-
    counts, small accounts which are in
    reality beipg as checking ac-
    co unts cost the Bank money, and
    cannot be justified.
    Poweshiek Couhty National Bank's
    policy seems to be a bit more flex-
    ible. Mary D. Donahoe, Cashier
    of the Bank, told the S&B that Powe-
    shiek National was happy to open
    student savings accounts as long as
    the student already maintained a
    checking account, and as long as
    a minimum balance of $5.00 was
    maintained in the savings account.
    RA SCHMIDT MOVES
    by Maxine Lowy
    Change is the word Bob Schmidt,
    resident advisor of Loose and Read.
    considers most significant. A goal
    he hopes to reach is to be more
    open. It is important, he thinks, that
    people be able., to move, although
    security and sqmething to cling to
    is something tbey want, too. Bob
    regards as his main influence anot-
    her Bob who can be seen
    reflected here.
    Like a map, Bob's model for coun-
    seling tells where to go, but His
    flexible. His complex system, bas-
    ically--very basically--revolves a-
    round the satisfaction of needs on
    different levels. Each person has
    needs which he must be made aware
    of. Problems arise When it becomes
    necessary to a.ct to fullfill these
    needs. When they do, Bob recom-
    mends to take a look at the total
    picture first and then the specifics.
    Six years of undergraduate studies .
    in psychology were spent at the uni-
    versities of Wisconsin at Milwaukee
    and at Madison where he worked
    at the Counseling Center. Graduate
    work continued at Madison has
    sisted of a year of structured studies
    and one of internship, which is being
    fullfilled here.
    In retrospect, comparing Grinnell
    to Wisconsin, Bob thinks he would
    have liked to go to a smaller schooL
    Smallness, he feels, is important
    because one is able to know many
    people, although this can create
    problems of a 'new kind. A danger
    he has found of living. in a small
    community like ours is that it can
    become too enclosed. One has .to be

    CECIL LYTLE .
    for him.
    "1 try not to think about it in a
    constructive way of sitting down to
    get into a role," but rather the role
    has to come to him, he explained.
    In addition, Lytle observed that
    he had become aware of the truth
    of the statement "classical music
    plays you, you don't play it." When
    an .artist plays classical music,
    he practices it until it is under his
    fingers and then his mind breathes
    the life into it while with a creative
    form such as black music the artist
    turns it around, to make him feel
    good, so it goes from themindtothe
    fingers, Lytle noted.
    As for Lytle's view of the world
    outside his music, he stated that
    there weren't enough hours of the day
    for him to do what he was doing,
    much less do anything else. And
    as he heard on the record 8trata,-
    East, there is nothing wrong with
    the world a little love wouldn't
    clean' up, maybe "a little armed
    love' he commented. Although
    "armed love" appears to be a
    strange contradiction, Lytle likes
    the idea because "it swings."

    wheat germ, turkey, brown rice,
    honey, raw sugar, sea salt, and
    carob which is similar to choco-
    late but has more protein and less
    fat.
    According to adherents, the ration-
    ale for eating natural foods is better
    health. For example, much Amer-
    ican beef contains residues of such .
    antibiotics and hormones asthefeed
    additive diethylstilbestrol (DES)
    which has been discovered recently
    to be a possible carcinogen. The
    3 000 permitted food additives are
    aiso suspect because of inadequate
    testing procedures.
    The natural foods people, as well
    as .nutritionists, agree thatthe re-
    fining of food removes certain nu-
    trients necessary for a balanced
    diet. In raising crops withoutchem-

    cerity so 1 don't waste my time or
    theirs." In relation to the black
    community on campus, Lytle cited
    them as "a very sincere group of
    young people who are aware of who
    they are now and later on."
    The Black Cultural Weekend, Lytle
    stated, was a "definite success,"
    "the message was delivered and
    taken well." Anyone who missed
    it, he added, missed something rare,
    especially Sunday night. The per-
    formances of Reggie Workman,
    Mtume, Charles Tolliver, Tony
    Callender, and Charles Davis made
    the evening "rare" according to
    Lytle who referred to these per-
    formers as "the elite corp, the
    gods, the supermen technically, mo-
    rally, conceptionally . . ." These
    men are not only in tune, but they
    made the song, "they're the van-
    guard." Each of the performers
    expressed a desire to remain 01' to
    return at a future date to rap with
    the students about the exciting things
    they are doing, especially Tolliver,
    who is involved in the Black Art-
    ists Guild which aids the youthful
    black artist in beginning his career.
    Concerning his own performance,
    Lytle commented that he felt physi-
    cally exhausted after the weekend
    and was unable to start thinking
    about the upcoming play rehearsals
    he is to be involved with. HThe
    older I get, I can't switch from bag
    to bag," said Lytle, who also added
    that while it was frustrating not
    to be able to switch, it was also a
    rewarding and beautiful experience
    under the revised guidelines, pro-
    vided that advance permission for
    the stuffing is obtained from either
    Mr. Pomerenk or Ernie Renaud in
    the Campus Post Office. Political
    material must also carry the name
    of the person distributing it, and a
    notice that if any college facilities
    or equipment were used in pre-
    paring the circulars, they werepaid
    for with non-College funds.
    Campus buildings will be available
    .. for organizational meetings of pol-
    iti<.:al groups under the new ruling,
    according to Student Coordinator
    Craig Kugisaki. Such meetings will
    .be treated like any other student
    gatherings, and must be open to all
    members of the Campus Commun-
    ity.
    Other political events, such as
    fund-raising activities, will be al-
    lowed to use College buildings and
    equipment only if they pay rent for
    them. Organizers of today's Mc-

    Revised policies concerning pol-
    itical activities on Campus' were
    agreed upon early this weej{ by the
    Administration and the SGA Cabi-
    net. The revised regulations, out-
    lined completely in a Tuesday let-
    ter from President Leggett to the
    Campus Community, now allow for
    stuffing of political material in cam-
    pus mailboxes provided certain con-
    ditions are met.
    Several stuffings of.material sup-
    porting the Mezvinsky and McGov-
    ern campaigns raised concern onthe
    part of the Administration. Citing
    fears that the College's non-profit
    status with the Internal Revenue Ser-
    vice might be jeapordized by such
    activities, Business Manager Ralph
    Pomerenk reiterated the guidelines
    against political stuffings, and had
    at least one halted.
    A statement from the administra-
    tion was then drafted and, after con-
    sultation with both SGA and Faculty
    leaders, was revised into the doc-
    ument released Tuesday.

    "Very, very serious business."
    That is the meaning of the music
    to the man, Cecil Lytle.
    Lytle, a professor of applied piano
    and jazz improvisation, views his
    music with an urgency becllUse mu-
    sic as an oral tradition is an in-
    terpreter of culture and to him this
    means his role is one of an inter-
    preter, a poet, an orator, and a
    messenger of the black culture. Ly-
    tle expressed that, at the beginning
    of his career his approach to his
    music was youthful and fun, but
    now it is a sense of cultural urgen-
    cy that motivates him.
    Originally from New York City,
    Lytle received his first musical
    training at approximately, age five
    from his father, who was a church
    organist. Oberlin, the University of
    Wisconsin, and the University of
    New York gave him his formal
    musical training. After school,
    Lytle played professionally at con-
    certs across the country.
    His appearance on the Grinnell
    campus in October '71 led to the
    offering and acceptance of a teach-
    ing position here. Regarding Lytle's
    feelings about the campus, he com-
    mented, "1 have positive feelings;
    1don't have a bad taste in my mouth
    yet, I don't expect to." He believed
    his wife and six year old son would
    be in agreement with him also, al-
    though Grinnell was a change from
    the big city. He characterIzed his
    students as sincere, i'I dig working
    with "incere people. I demand sin-
    The problem with such unanimity, however, is that outsiders
    tend to view such activism as college policy.

    evil anything or person that they
    don't personally agree with.
    The following is part of an article
    by Louis Cassels of UPI entitled
    "Compassion, Indignation Fatigue
    Afflicts Nation".
    "Perhaps the hardest moral duty
    for me:l and women of our time Is
    to keep on caring.
    "They have felt sorry for so many
    flood victims, earthquake v1ctims,
    and war victims they simply aren't
    able to muster the sympathy they
    know they ougHt to l1avewhen their
    newspaper shows them a picture of
    a child in Bangladesh whose belly
    is bloated by malnutrition, or when
    they see on television the look of
    SUffering on the faces of Viet-
    namese peasants fleeing from a
    burning village.
    "To be indifferent to wrong do-
    ing, to shrug it off or laugh at
    it is a symptom of advanced de-
    gredation of the moral sense...
    Something--is It Vietnam? and the
    'death' of God? or simply weariness
    of caring--seems to have adminis-
    tered a massive dose of novicain
    to our national conscience."

    Medvin: Criticism1
    To the college community:
    I spent 3-lj2 years at Grinnell,
    during those years a lot of things
    happened, to me, to my friends,
    to the college, and most noticably
    to our society.
    Drugs became more middle class,
    more common and to an extent more
    respectable. We put aside some
    of our Victorian and Puritan views
    of sex and morality. Pattiotism
    changed, no longer was it enough to
    simply be an American, we were
    more likely to adopt the' 'My Coun-
    try, Right or Wrong." attitUde, or
    we would become hypercritical, to
    condemn the evils, ignore many of
    the practicalities, and demand the
    Ideal, a "Change it or lose it."
    attitude. Crime rose, as did govern-
    ment snooping and heavy handed-
    ness. :Nothing ,was thesamea:ny
    more. The whole society seemed to
    have entered a period of rapidly
    increasing change, we began to ex-
    perience Alvin Toffler's Future
    Shock.
    Many cried that our societyIcoun-
    try was being torn to shreds by
    an effete corps of dope smok-
    ing homosexual communist inspired
    hippy freaks, or that the Imperialist
    forces and the big corporations had
    succeeded in getting a strangle hold
    on all aspects of our lives.
    But, for me, there was really no-
    thing to fear, for being at Grin-
    nell I experienced the enthusiasmof
    a generation out to change it all,
    to end the war, to feed the hun-
    gry, heal the sick, clean up the
    cities, and much more. We were
    going to save the country, maybe
    tlIe world.
    Then one sunny May morning some-
    one woke me up and told me that
    we'd invaded Cambodia and Laos,
    that they were shooting (and kill-
    ing) kids on campuses all over the
    country and that we were all going
    to go down to the "liberated" ROTC
    building. After two years of a lot
    of talk we now had an opportunity
    to act, so we closed the schools,
    over 400 of them and decided that
    we'd given notice that we weren't
    "gonna take no more.'
    The next fall we came back,but
    some how the ability or desire to
    get fired up about anything "heavy"
    was gone. It was study and/or party
    at Grinnell. And as far as getting
    involved it wasn't just it
    was the whole country, and we've
    been going down hill ever since.
    It wasn't just the war either, it
    was everything. It seemed that so-
    ciety was finally slipping over the
    edge. It wasn't dope, or free love,
    or the Black or White Panthers,
    it wasn't even IT&T. It was us,
    the peopie.
    Look lipapathy.

    ticle. ("Realities of War Fade---
    So Do Cries of Immorality") that

    uation we encounter, we must enter
    into thought in order to take steps
    to insure our survival. Clearly this
    is not what Gregg means. He means
    that, on the Whole, a process of
    conceptual thought is required for
    the existence of mankind, which is
    Irlle. If Mr. Hessburg has managed
    to survive up to !lOW without think-
    ing (a conclusion supported in more
    than one way by his letter) it is
    simply because others have done it
    for him.
    What Daffner meant when he said
    , 'Man is free to evade reality and
    to unfocus his mind" was' 'Man is
    free to attempt to evade reality and
    to unfocus his' mind", which is not
    contrldictory to saying "Man is not
    exempt from the laws of reality."
    The presumed contradiction is in-
    visible, not naked; and I also, inci-
    dentally, consider the above ex-
    to be unnecessary for any
    but the densest readers.
    If Mr. Hessburg had had the wits
    to look up the word "iconoclast"
    he would have found that the true
    definition, .which is: "one who
    attacks and seeks to overthrowtrad-
    iUonal or popular ideas or institu-.
    Hons" is not identical with his own
    rather laughably incongruous ver-
    sion ("a person who categorically
    rejects all fraudulent institutions
    within his sphere of existence").
    By the correct definition ofthe word,
    Gregg Daffner is an iconoclast, and
    a far better one than any self-styled
    "iconoclast" who would condone
    either Hessburg's methods, or his
    as yet unclear ideas.
    Chtistopher High
    To tlIe Editors:
    For the last three years, the Nixon
    administration has intensified the
    effort to force the population of
    South Vietnam out of the countryside
    and into the cities and highly guarded
    .. strategic hamlets". Under th.e
    stepped-up pacification program It
    has declared much of the country-
    side a "free fire zone," and has
    destroyed one-third of the hamlets
    in Soutll Vietnam.
    The current offensive of the Peo-
    ple's Liberation Armed Frees, now
    in its seventh month, has changed
    all this; much of the pacification
    program has been dismantled. Hun-
    dreds of thousands of peasants , freed
    from strategic hamlets, are making
    their way back to their ancestral
    farm plots, which are mostly in the
    "liberated zone"--that part of South
    Vietnam under the administration of
    the Provisional Revolutionary Gov-
    ernment, (PRG).
    Since the offensive began, the li-
    berated area has greatly expanded,
    and now comprises vast zones
    stretching from the northern most
    province of Quang Tri to the south-
    ernmost province of Ca Mau. Even
    General Weyand estimates that one-
    half of South Vietnam is now con-
    trolled by the PRG.
    In these liberated zones life has
    actually been improving despite car-
    pet bombing by Nixon's B-52's. Two
    thirds of the hamlets in the zone
    now have medical teams. Wages are
    20 times as high as in Saigon.
    Returned refugees are given land,
    food, and money. In one province,
    classes for 10,000 students were
    organized and 25 schools were set
    up in 2 districts of another, in April
    and May. In western Nam Bo a
    post graduate medical school offers
    training in pediatrics and clinical
    medicine. 70,000 people were vac-
    cinated in Ca Mau in one twenty
    day period.-u-Explosions by B-
    52's shook the village. The whirl-
    wind of destruction swept across the
    woods and fields, killing farmers
    and travelers, but l\laving. the vil-
    lage untouched for tonight. But the
    greenness of the rice plants are
    overgrowing the destruction caused
    by bombs and shells.
    Unfortunately living against the war
    does not show the same greenness
    in this country. Many are still con-
    cerned and are taking the chance to
    continue struggling in their own way.

    present a valid contribution to what-
    ever intellectual life maybeassum-
    ed to exist at Grinnell. They are
    worth thinking; about, if not

    of Daffner as "admittedly possess-

    aptitude. "
    In paragraph five, Hessburgseems

    High: Hessburg Leffer
    This year there is no such crisis situation. This is no in-
    vasion or war, but merely a political campaign. Nonetheless
    we must be careful to avoid appearing as an institution to
    advocate one political philosophy or another, for once that
    happens we make ourselves the tool of an ideology and a po-
    litical movement while ceasing to be a free community. As
    an educationalinstitution, we should be concernedwith broader
    things. President Leggett's statement will, we hope, assure
    the continuation of that ideal.
    Grinnell is a small and tight community and has historically
    been a liberal one, thus for years it has tended to form a
    consensus stand on many issues. The campus has been shown
    in this election year, for example, to be overwhelmingly
    Democratic and strongly liberal in its outlook: an S&B po-
    litical survey several weeks ago showed that all but 4.2%
    of the community considered themselves to be politically
    Democratic or Independent, and that 77.9% intended to vote
    for George McGovern for President. The county Democratic
    chairman is a professor at the college, and the local'Demo-
    cratic headquarters opened only last week after students
    had provided the impetus. Seven former Grinnell students
    He now working actively in the Iowa McGovern organization
    and several othes are active in the Mezvinsky for Congress
    campaign.
    Political Season...
    Two and one-half years ago Grinnell, under great tension,
    succumbed to the popular demand and took an institutional
    stand. Closing the school a few days after the invasion of
    Cambodia in May of 1970, members of the Administration
    and selected students flew off to Washington to voice to Iowans
    in Congress the college's concern over the matter.

    President Leggett's recent statement regarding campus po-

    problem whicll invariably exists in a community such as that
    of Grinnell: the problem of distinguishing individual actions
    {rom institutional stands.
    To the Editors:
    While glancing through the Sept.
    29th issue of S&B, I discovered a
    letter to the editor from John Hess-
    burg, which purports to legitimately
    attack "The Iconoclast", the column
    written by Gregg-Daffner. It is easily
    the most absurd letter to the edi-
    tor printed in your paper 10 date.
    Granted, this is no mean task in a
    world in Which men use language
    as they would use a whore. Still,
    Mr. Hessburg's letter possesses all
    the necessary qualifications. It is
    hysterical, imbalanced, carping,
    slipshod, and there is a constant
    attempt throughout the whole of it
    01 attack Ihe man instead of the
    ideaua modus operandi which is
    egregiously inimical to a mature
    discussion of ideas. Indeed, it would
    seem that more is involved here (at
    least for Mr. Hessburg) than simple
    rational inquiry...
    I must begin my "defense" by stat-
    ing that I do not, at this time,
    agree with every aspect of Gregg's
    ideas. But I do happentoknowGregg

    Machine's poetic message, a mes-
    sage that is chiefly the conception
    of Robert Wyatt. His songs reveal
    his frustration at the impediments
    contained in the mundanities of life,
    yet simultaneously admit their sur-
    face importance, and his own pre-
    occupation with them (witness "Why
    Am I So Short?" on the first al-
    bum).
    The second side features two songs,
    one a bitter message to departed
    bassist Kevin Ayers, the otber de-
    bating the difference between
    dreams. and consciousness.
    The main thrustof Side II, however,
    is a series ofinstrumentalcompos-
    itions by Ratledge, which can best
    be described as jazz soloing and
    electronic textures of sound super-
    .Imposed over complex extensions of
    rock rhythms. At this point is re-
    vealed the tension extantinthe band:
    Wyatt, despite his fine drumming,
    is preoccupied with voice, melody,
    anel .J yric, while the chief focus of.
    Ratledge and Hopper is with the
    music itself, the sound and the
    solos. The band moved finally in
    this direction, as can be seen in
    the following three albums; Wyatt's
    dissatisfaction with this trend re-
    sulted in his leaVing Soft Machine
    last year and forming his own band,
    Matching' Mole, who have a fine al-
    bum as yet unreleased in the United
    States. It is in this second album.
    though, that the band was able to
    fuse its two directions in an un-
    paralleled piece of rock music.
    A friend of mine is a confirmed
    Soft Machine freak, who ordered
    their albums direct from England
    .so as to get earlier. He has
    every album that Soft Machinemus-
    icians ever playedon,includingrare
    solo records by Wyatt and Elton
    Dean, alto saxist who joined the
    group soon after the second album.
    Yet even after this barrage of Eng-
    lish jazz and rock, hereturns often
    to Volume II: "I think I'll be lis-
    tening to it even after their other
    albums. Thf.)re's always sOJnething;
    else to get out of it." An accur-
    ate testimony to the fertile early
    years of afascinating band.

    like recitation of the alphabet tilat

    The English rock scene has al-
    ways struck me as heing a bit more
    creative than that in the United
    States. Perhaps it is because they
    are culturally removed fI'om the
    soUrces of rock that tile Englishare
    continually able to produce music
    that transcends or combines its
    roots. On one extreme there are
    the Stones; on the other end of the
    spectrum. there is Soft Machine, a
    band that really has no rock coun-
    terpart in this country.
    First heard warming up audiences
    for a production of Desire Caught
    By the Tail, Pablo Picasso's out-
    rageious erotic work, the Soft Ma-
    chine next made a record hreaking
    much. Frequently, the quartet was
    lost in the shuffle, and I can only
    say that, within the limits of the
    genre, they played welL
    After the intermission came what
    1 thought was the besl effort of the
    concert, namely the Quartet, Opus
    44, No. I of Menelssohn. The first
    movement, Molto Allegro Vivace;
    was in my opinion, brilliant. It was
    dramatic, it was taut, and it was
    unified. But then came the Men-
    uetto, The playing here was posi-
    tively shaky, especially on the part
    of the first violin. Eric L.ewis, A-
    bout midway through the third move-
    ment, however,Mr. Lewis seemed to
    get hold of himself again, and re-
    couped with playing fully up to the
    high standard he set in the first
    movement. The quartet finished with
    a well-executed fourth movement.
    What are we to make of this os-
    cillation? It seemed to me that
    the group was ,too wound up. This
    was emphasized when they stood
    to receive applause: tile expres-
    sions on their faces were really
    grim. I have a modest proposal to
    make: r would like to suggest that
    the group relax a little bit, even to
    the point of enjoying themselves.
    I believe that then theil' playing
    would more consistently be at the
    levels they have sllown tllemselves
    capable of. Also, this would con-
    tribute to that magic relationship
    . Which sometimes builds up between
    performers and audience.

    To a large and rathe!,' boorish aud-
    ience, the Manhattan 'Quartet gave
    its second concert of the season.
    There was scattered a.pplause after
    the first movement of one piece,
    and some people appeared to have
    difficulty keeping still while the
    quartet was playing, which I found
    most annoying.
    Playing under these less than ideal
    conditions, the Manhattan acquitted
    itself rather well, if unevenly. (I
    say "itself" because of their sup-
    erior ensemble.) All through the
    evening this uneveness was dis- .
    played. It began with Mozart's Quar-
    tet in B Major, K 458, The Hunt,
    which started off with a good first
    movement, and then a lousy second
    movement, owing to substantial in-
    tonation probIe,ms. Judith GIyde
    sprang back with some magnificent
    cello playing in the Adagio, and the
    fourth movement came off about .
    like the first.
    Then came the, Kirchner: Quar-
    tet No. 3 for Strings and Elec-

    unimpressed.. The lig'hts went out,

    allow for my biases against this
    sort of thing, but even at that, the

    (Washington, D.C.)--When we dis-
    persed for the. summer last May,
    one could confidently appraise the
    Grinnell campus as a confined ar-
    senal of McGovern supporters. Most
    campuses were reporting a similar
    unity of purpose.
    For many, it was the upheaval of
    four years of impotence and anti-
    cipation, It was the fermentation of
    a cause. There.were the rumblings
    of the Democratic primaries fore-
    boding the eruption of the student
    vote,
    Who would have expected such a
    sudden disintegration of unity and
    exuberance? It is like the little boy
    who, upon receiving birthday pre-
    sents, furiously explores them until
    one runs down and he loses interest.
    A sad tale for a bunch of saga-
    cious college students who should
    realize the necessity to broaden
    one's base; to mold a cause into
    . acampaign that must galvanize some
    45 million voters.
    McGovern's unpardonable mistake
    was responding to his people's faith
    with concrete proposals on the mat-
    leI'S that have aggravated and sty-
    mied those people for as long as
    I've been around to be aggravated,
    those at the top will not give aid
    and comfort to the lawbreakers in
    America." That's the same guy who
    harbors aides with transmitter
    fetishes.
    That's the same guy who, in 1962,
    asked, "what are our schools for
    if not for indoctrinationagainst com-
    munism?" That's the same guy who,
    seven years later, claimed that "in
    every state the public schools are
    literally the guarantee ofthat state's
    life and growth and health."
    That's the same guy Who, in 1968,
    promised' 'that if I were President
    I would give the Vice President
    major additional duties in helping
    administer the domestic functions
    of government. One of the first of
    these duties would be to involve
    himself directly and personally in
    this entire effort to move govern-
    ment closer to the people and to
    make it more responsive."
    That's the same guy who, in 1967,
    said: "There must be strong, in-
    dependent-minded men in the cabi-
    net. They must be encouraged to
    speak up and they must have power
    in their own right." That's the same
    guy Wally Hickel and Robert Finch
    believed.
    That's the same guy Who, in 1962,
    proudly announced, "one of the great
    marks of America is that we have
    never in our history discontinued
    political discussion, even when we
    have been at war."
    That's the same guy who, in 1964,
    said: "Opposition to the war in this
    . country is the greatest single wea-
    ------------- pon working against the U.S."
    People's memories are so short And that's the sameguy who, in
    that they don't recall what they have 1969, perceived that "there has been

    from throughout Iowa and parts OJ
    Illinois participated.
    The Baha'i Club, a campus organ.

    ested persons with the teachin/2:s aM
    history of the Faith and to further
    the social ideals to which it aspires,
    was initiated in the spring of 1971.
    Its membership inclUdes Baha'is aIUI
    non-Baha'is alike.
    Among the annual activities of the
    Grinnell Baha'is is the observance
    of several special events days,
    These include World Peace Day
    (Sept. 17), United Nations Day (Dc
    tober 24), and Human Rights Day
    (Dec. 10).
    In spite of their relatively small
    I1umbPrs, Baha'is are apt to be in
    volved in a wide variety of Cam.
    pus activities both as a group and
    as individuals. So much so that fOf

    self today, is perhaps the fastest in
    the history of religion. In little more
    than a century it has spread to every
    country, territory and major island
    of the globe. Its adherents are to
    be found in more than 50,000 lo-
    calities worlds wide- - -inclUding
    Grinnell.
    The Grinnell Baha'i community,
    though numerically small. has been
    increasingly more active since its
    first two memhers enrolled at the
    Callege in fall of 1968.
    When the first public mention of the
    Baha'i Faith was made at Grinnell,
    is perhaps a fact lost in history.
    Also, there is no record of who the
    first Baha'i to attend or work at
    the College might haVB been. But
    it is evident from the records at
    Burling Librar'y that Grinnell had
    some form of contact with the Baha'i
    Faith as long ago as 1931.
    In more recent times Baha'i
    speakers visited the College on a
    number of occasions during the past
    decade. But until the fall of 1968
    there is no record of a Baha'i
    attendance at the schOoL
    The "mainstay" of Baha'i activity
    is an informal gathering called a
    "fireside". At a fireside Baha'is
    and interested inqUirers discuss a
    wide range of topics related to the
    Baha'i Faith. These may include
    anything from "life-arter-death" to
    , 'world peace." The firesides are
    usually held weekly and lisled in
    the Campus Memo.

    There has been some problem in
    past years when students throw mis-
    cellaneous garbage such as beer
    cans and cigarette butts in the clean
    paper box. Maintenance of the boxes
    is each respective hall's responsi-
    bility. The paper will then be picked
    up from the halls every Sunday night
    and taken to Darby Gymnasium
    where it will be sorted and stored
    until it is finally shipped to Des
    Moines for recycling.
    The operation's success is de-
    pendent on the cooperation oHhe col-
    lege community and volunteers are
    needed to help in the project. In-
    terested persons should contact Bill
    Persons at extension 352 or post

    Paper recycling is just one orthe
    projects begun by LEAP. Now in
    its third year, the interdisciplinary
    course has ,come a long way since
    its first semester when participants
    had an opportunity to sift through
    and weigh all of the garbage pro-

    "Have 1 spoken this day of aught

    all reflection.
    "And that which is neither deed
    not leflectlon. but a wonder and a

    "Who can separate his faith from
    his actions, or his belief from his
    occupations?" And so Gribran wrote
    of religion in his classic, The
    Prophet.
    Yet another Middle Easterner, pro-
    claiming himself to be a Prophet,
    wrote half a centurv earlier than
    Gibran: "KnOWledge' is like unto
    wings ior the being, and is as a
    ladder for ascending. To acquire
    knOWledge is incumbent upon all, but
    of those sciences which may profit
    the people of the earth, and not such
    sciences as begin in mere words

    LEAP Promotes Environmental Quality
    by Keith Kozloff
    Grmnell may be far removed from
    the ravages of the logging industry
    but each student at Grinnell can do
    something personally to lessen the
    destruction of forests--paper re-
    cycling. According to Bill Persons,
    newly appointed director of Grin-
    nell's paper recycling operation,
    "seventeen trees' weresaved for
    each of the twenty tons of paper re-
    cycled at Grinnell last year."
    The operation was originated and
    sponsored by Local Effluent Abate-
    ment Procedures (LEAP) and has
    now been institutionalized under the
    auspices of Student Government As-
    soctation.
    Bill describes how the process will
    work and what each student should
    do. On every !loor of every hall
    is a box for clean paper and a
    designated place to stack news-
    papers, magazines, and corrugated
    cardboard. What exactly constitutes
    clean paper?
    "Clean paper," says Persons, "is
    best defined by listing what it does
    not include such as napkins, tissue
    cellophane, wax paper, paper
    WIth a waxy, metallic, or plastic
    coating, tin foil, paper with dirt.
    food, or grease on it, carbon paper,
    and paper with glue, staples, paper
    clips, or tape on it." All other
    paper, even if crumpled or with
    writing on it, is classified as clean
    paper.
    Incidentally, computer cards and
    computer print-out should also
    be put in the clean paper box. Per-
    sons has a suggestion to make for
    everyone, "If each student keeps
    a separate receptacle in his room
    for clean paper and dumps it when
    it becomes full, this will minimize
    the effort on the student's part as
    well as keep the clean paper box
    free of impurities."

    breakdown in the use of Iowa's
    laUds, and by compiling dala on
    details involved in both federal leg-
    islation and lhat of other' states in
    the land-use area,
    "Now you can drive along the high-
    Viay and see timber areas bulldozed
    away and planted for agriculture,"
    said Scheffler, illustrating the need
    for effective land-use policies, "For
    a state like Iowa, with less timber
    (puhlically owned) than any state in
    tile union, this is a tragic loss."
    Echoing Ihe suggestion that ISPIRG
    formulate a model land-use bill,
    Scheffler deemed ISPIRG's retention
    of a legal director, John Wellman,
    as a significant asset. "For any
    kind of land-use policy to be ef-
    fective it must have real teeth 10
    it; it must be enforceable. Legal
    aspects of a land-use policy are
    extremely, frightfully unknown at
    this lime...".
    The Pella hearing touched upon a
    number of issues which had pre-
    viously been raised at the agricul-
    tural hearing at Ames. "We want
    to assure small farmers an oppor-
    tUnity on the land," said Roger Blo-
    baum, Midwest Coordinator for the
    National Coalition for Land Reform.
    He criticized the "monocultural"
    approach of corporate farmers who
    plant corn every year instead of
    on a four year rotational cycle.
    He said that although this leads
    to :l. build-up of disease and in-
    sects, ". . .no corporate farmer
    is going to go out and plant oats
    as a nurse crop for clover. They
    plant corn every year, and they
    JU$t putting onthec.bemicals. "
    The use of chemicals and addi-
    tives in farming and livestock was
    termed to be an issue of both health
    and environmental concern, accord-
    ing to Mrs. Gladys Black, an or-
    nithologist. Blobaum envisioned the
    growth of "a drug culture in tile
    animal industry."
    Proposals from witnesses directed
    ISPlRG's attention toward research-
    ...--------------. ing bureaucracies involved in en-
    vironmental control, as well as to-
    ward stUdying specific areas where
    ,pollution occurs. Karch suggested
    that ISPIRG ". . .investigate me,
    among otller things. Investigate the
    effectiveness of the institutional me-

    "We can have any kind of agri-

    Special reduced "youth fares" on the nation's airlines appear to be on
    the way out, according to information received this week from the Con-
    tinental Marketing Corporation.
    A Civil Aeronautics Board Examiner ruled four years ago that such
    fares were "unjustly discriminatory" because age alone is not a valid
    difference betw.een passengers. Sackloads of mail opposing the decision
    caused the CAB to reverse its decision. .
    , Since that time, a four year study of youth fares has been conducted
    to determine whether the reduced fares are reasonable. A decision was
    slated to have been announced in August, but has been clelayed. reportedly
    until after the November elections.
    Sources quoted by Continental concur that chances are bleak
    that reduced youth fares will continue.

    assured of the fact whenthe mayor's
    wife of .:;teamboat Rock drove them
    up and down the river finding nay
    a Grinnellian. On a call to the col-
    lege the two canoeists were told
    to leave the canoe at the lady's
    house and hitch back to Grinnell.
    The college then in turn got the
    information to the sherriff's office.
    Meanwhile the mayor's wife fed the
    two and drove them to Marshalltown
    where they hitched on home, while
    on the banks of the Iowa River the
    rest of the Grinnell contingent sat
    confused by this intentional act of
    irresponsibility only to realizelater
    that there is a little more to river

    An SRC canoe trip provided the opportunity for two Grinnellians to ll'Y
    their hand (paddle?) at a little whitewater canoeing.
    Had the Congress passed the Tax
    Reform Act of 1972,Mezvinskysaid,
    , 'you could bring into the state of
    Iowa about 219 million dollars. Here
    in Poweshiek county you could
    reduce the property taxes as much
    as 30 percent."
    Mezvinsky believes that because
    the First District has been redis-
    tricted since the last election he now
    has an excellent chance of defeating
    Schwengel. "I have mor.e
    per capita in my distnct than m
    ally district in the Midwest," he
    noted. "I have a median age below
    thirty. Without question this is going
    to make a difference."
    What would be the difference
    ween Mezvinsky and Schwengel If
    the war were not an issue? "The
    difference," he said, "is primarily
    one of outlook. I view my role
    differently. "
    "I think as a Congressml.lnI should-
    n't always wait until students
    THREE LEVELS OF SHOPS
    caused chaos, a tremendous amount
    of confusion" and he further charged
    that they "have not been applied
    fairly across theboard." Mezvinsky
    supports the position of former
    Johnson adviser Walter Heller, who
    suggests that the Administration use
    "voluntary constraints, target in on
    those groups that are causing the
    inflation, and put the pressure on
    them."
    At long last we reached our des-
    tination, 7 miles below the dam
    and a long 18 from Eagle City.
    There was a turbulent rapid that no
    one could navigate on the first
    try and which prOVided a challenge
    for those reckless enough to shoot
    the rapids again, to prove they
    COUld.
    The canoes came in about every
    half hour. Three, four, five ....
    Could they have ripped a hole in
    the canoe or the cows give them
    trouble upstream? It was two hours
    since the last canoe had come in.
    We contacted the park ranger who
    knew nothing concerning the canoe,
    but at our urging contacted the El-
    dora sherrif's office.
    "Do you know anything concerning
    . two canoeists on the Iowa River?"
    "Ten-four. They pUlled their canoe
    out at Steamboat Rock and hitched
    back to Grinnell?"
    We were taken aback till in: due
    time the story became clear. The
    Iowa River Proves Canoer'
    by Brent Schondelmeyer
    We stood posed on the bridge with
    lJi110cuiars raised to anxious eyes,
    ;leel'ing up and. down the
    Iowa River on Its way to the MISSISS-
    ippi. We were on our back to
    Grinnell with the exception that we
    were missing one canoe. It was like
    the old WW II airfield with the brass
    looking on waiting for the last plane
    to come in, yet knowing not if it
    would.
    The occasion was the SRA's over-
    night canoe trip on the Iowa River.
    According to The Iowa Conserva-
    tionist "throughout most of its length
    the Iowa River is a typical prairie
    stream." Such was not the case for
    our trip from Eagle City to Eldora.
    Finding Eagle City was in itself
    a task, but the eagle in front of the
    single dwelling should have been a
    clue. The campgrounds found many
    campers already cooking supper and
    they invited us down later that even-
    to share their campfire, guitar and
    array of homemade wines that kept
    the body warm on cold nights.
    Early the next morning, with pad-
    dles in hand, the Grinnell armada
    was launched downstream on a long,
    and hazardous journey. Around the
    first bend a wire was stretched a-
    cross the width,' of the river- -chest
    high, It would pose no problem if
    somebody would just raise it enough
    so that the canoe could go under-
    neath. At least until someone dis-
    coverec that the hand conducts elec-
    tricity as well as Wire, especially
    when wet.
    Later another wire was found and
    from previous experience the power
    box was located and turned off. It
    was supposed to be a cow stopper.
    As far as we were concerned the
    could march on San Fran-
    sisco, but the canoes must go on.
    What followed was an endless con-
    tinuation of stroke on stroke accom-
    panied by an ever changing scenery
    and sore shoulders.

    says "every place outside of a col-

    tration is "doing a fantastic job."
    As an example, Mezvinsky noted
    that Schwengel "had Butz as his
    . spokesman at Burlington whereButz
    said he didn't see where there was
    anything wrong with this wheat
    dea1." Earlier in the day before a

    wheat to the Soviet Union, and said

    the paint washed off. The Rawson
    women proceeded to emasculate
    Clark by stealing the television and
    sadistically keeping it through
    "Night Gallery." After much con
    fusion both the eagle and the tele-
    vision returned to Clark, and rap
    prochment was achieved in the form
    of a "kegger", held in Clark
    Rumor has it that the indomitable
    eagle was stolen last year by six
    incensed freshmen women from
    third floor Gates Hall; where Gars!
    was miraculously recovered this
    year painted an appalling day-glp
    pink with gold beak and talons.
    Last week there was a threat by
    Smith Hall degenerates to further
    break tradition by removing Garst
    to the third floor of that hall. Their
    efforts were thwarted by stUdious
    Gates freshmen who decided it was
    much more rational to dump the
    eagle in the aforementioned lake,
    thereby ending a Grinnell tradition
    and frightening countless watery
    creatures, Garst was transported to
    the lake in a whiteVolkswagon named
    "Ludwig Van" ironically borrowed
    from a member of Smith Hall,
    Contrary to popUlar belief Garsl
    was the one and the only eagle of
    this type who ever perched on the
    Grinnell campus. This columnist, in
    an attempt to locate a similar bird,
    contacted the Pendleton-Joseph
    Company only to find that 'both the
    company and the town of Tintinna
    bulation had been sold to the Sin
    clair Oil Company, where six oil
    derricks and one large plastic bron
    tosaurus are now located. Which
    leads this columnist to say as the

    In 1943 when men were men, women
    were women, and "Japs" were
    " rapped" in the stately Scarlet and
    Black:, newly constructed Cowles
    Hall, then occupied by the First and
    Second Divisions of Grinnell's army
    tl'ainees, was the first proud perch
    of Garst, the 273 pound cast-iron
    eagle. Garst's 30 year history ended
    on Tuesdav the 27th of last week.
    Garst was' stolen while the mist
    still carressed the grass and the
    numerous and varied doggy done-
    its on voluptuous Mac Field. The
    ten year North Campus rivalry sor-
    rowfullyended when six Gates fresh-
    men dumped Garst into the deep and
    Murckey waters of Rock Creek Lake.
    The durable eagle was one of many
    cast for the Unitoo states Army
    during the Second World War by the
    Pendleton-Joseph Clarion Bell
    Company of Tintinnabulation, Wy-
    oming. The plant had been con-
    verted from bell construction to the
    production of heroic statues.
    Garst was given to the school by
    Lt. Gen. McNally Cowles, lIO rela-
    tionship to the men after whom the
    hall or the supermarket were named,
    The lonely eagle was secured onto
    the new structure by three bolts,
    just below the sundial, much to the
    chagrin of the obviously inspired
    architect who said: "Putting such
    gingerbread on a classically sleek
    structure makes m-y gorge rise."
    Gorge or no, when the army left
    the relieved eagle remained on ci-
    vilian Cowles. The lofty bird silently
    molted there until he was removed
    in 1960. In the 1962 cyclone he was
    pictured with pipe-in-beak,
    "COWLES" tattooed across his
    chest, surrounded by liqueur bottles
    and various less-than-dignifiedper-
    sonages.
    The ten year rivalry began when he
    was mistaken for one of the Cowles
    preps, stolen by Clark Hall and
    then tarred and feathered. Cowles
    immediately retaliated with the most
    titanic water fight ever seen west
    of the Mississippi. This rivalry
    continued until 1971 when tradition
    was broken by freshmen from
    COWles Hall who in a fuddle-headed
    state, removed the startled eagle
    to Rawson tower, Thestatue, yanked
    from a second floor Clark radiator,
    where it was secured with a thin
    bicycle chain, cascaded down the
    Clark stairway, cllipped off pieces
    of these stairs, and woke most
    everyone up during its voyage to
    Rawson. The girls of Rawson sur-
    prised with their new possession.
    promptly renamed the winsome
    eagle "Roslyn".
    Roswald Garst, the noble eagle
    was originally named after ROs-'
    wald Garst, the farmer, who is best
    known for telling Nikita Kruschev
    how to decollectivize, sell wheat
    to Russia, and raise the price of
    bread at home. (The rumor that
    he now serves in Washington as an
    aide to Earl Butz is a bald-faced
    rumor.) Garst who, like all of Grin-
    nell in 1943, was originally 111y
    white, was painted Rocky Mountain'
    Blue (see Denver, John, second al-
    bum) in 1971 by the incorruptible
    Rawson woman. Some of the old
    guard in Clark gave the embarras-
    ed eagle a shower and, fortunately

    column, though presented with at
    least three gOOd 0ppOrtanities to
    crack the ice.
    Early in the first quarter, Grin-
    nen's Tom Kalhorn recovered a
    Carleton fumble Oil the Carls' 17-
    yard Une, After pressing down to
    the five yard line, the ball was
    driven back to the twenty, A field
    goal attempt from the 27 yard line
    was then wide to the right.
    Soon afterwards, Carleton was for-
    coo to punt and Grinnell took pos-
    session (In the oppostiion's 45. Wash
    Alston's I unning capped a ririvedown
    to the 13. There was a fumble on
    the next play, however, and Carle-
    ton recovered lhe ball.
    Then late in the second quarter
    the Pioneers finally began to pUT
    it all together. Augmented by the
    passing of qU<lfterback Jeff Dick,
    the offense act,'anced the ball mOrE
    than 50 yards, down to the Carle-
    ton 26. However, with 10
    left in the half, a questionable cal
    on a 10urth down play may have cosi
    tile Pioneers a few points.
    Instea.d of going for the field goal,
    which, if successful, would have tied
    the game at three apIece, the coacbes
    decided to try for a first down or
    the touchdown. But tbe Carls stop-
    ped a play on the ground and tbe half
    ended with Carleton ahead 3-0.
    There was very little action of any
    consequence in the second half ex-
    cept 10L' another Carletoll field goal
    and a tricky lateral play e>;ecuted
    with great proficiency by the des-
    perate Pioneers in the final seconds
    of the game. They were able to
    penetrate deep into the opposition's
    zone but not quite deep enough.
    Tomorrow, the Pioneers will travel
    to M. Vernon, Iowa to take on Cor-
