FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6,1972.

by Fred HoreckyGrinnell students' active in the

local McGovern for President cam­paign have recently announced aseries of fund raising and canvas­sing activities on the campus and inthe town, as part of the. statewideMcGovern campaign.The most pressing activity of the

McGovern organization at tlus time,according to workers, is the can­vassing. The purpose of canvassingis to determine who the potentialDemocratic voters are, and to getthem to vote. Canvassing activi­ti es are presently taking place invarious cities and campuses aroundthe state, and have already beenconducted by Grinnell students inMarshalltown, ottumwa and CedarRapids,The group plans to cond1.\ct a door­

to-door canvas of every ,residence

tended hours in academic buildings.The current proposal would keepthe Fine Arts, Science, Library,and Carnegie, buildings' open until2 a.m. This, however, has met strongfaculty opposition, mainly becauseof security problems in the Sciencebuilding and in Fine Arts buildings,and because of possible staffingproblems in the library.

President Nixon proclaimed Sept.26, 1972 as National Student Govern­ment Day. Anyone interested inseeing the official proclamation maydo so at the Student Coordinator'sOffice during office hours.

of where the money went. This putthe Auditor into a role of decidingon what policies her office would useto control the money, and it was thesepolicies which became the center ofcontroversy.

The most recent issue has been thereimbursement policy. The Audi­tor's office, after consultation withDonald Lambie, the college trea­surer, had decided not to give re­imbursements on receipts submittedfor events which had alreadyoccurred. This would help to pre­vent halls from purchasing alcoholicbeverages with activity fund moneyand would prevent the alledgedlywidespread practice of submittingfalsified receipts.

Taking issue with this, the JointBoards passed a proposal by. MaryDamsgaard and Lynn Lichtenbergerto instruct the Auditor's office toissue reimbursements, and also tobring any furt~er policy decisionsto the Joint Boards. Many HousePresidents expressed the opinionthat a policy of no reimbursementswould cramp the social style oftheirhalls.

Ms. Conway told the Joint Boardthat she would like to view her roleas that of a bookkeeper, and as longas clear policy instructions aregiven her by the treas?rer of SGA(the Chairman of the Fmance co~­

mittee) she will follow them. It ISher opinion that the Auditor's officeshould be automonous and that theAuditor's salary should corne fromthe Office of the College Treasurerrath'er than from SGA.

John Potts, however, expressed theopinion that SGA should retain acloser control of their bookkeeperby having control over the Auditor'ssalary. Other house presidentsseemed' to hold this same opinion.In other SGA action, Russ Mac­

Gregor SGA President, presenteda prog;ess report on obtaining ex-

ay Be Cancelled Noy. 7by Mike Breed

The Joint Board recommendedthlsweek that classes at Grinnell becancelled on election day, Novem­ber 7. The action, takenatthe week­lymeeting last Wednesday night,is a recommendation only--thepro­posal must pass th e Executive Coun­cil and the faculty at large beforeit is official. Themoveis designedtoallOW students who live nearGrinnellto travel to their homes to vote.Jerry Miranowski, student Demo­cratic campiagn worker who origi­nated the proposal, also hopes thatthe anticipated passge ,of the re­solution by the faculty will encour­age students to participate in ele~­

tion day political activities and WIllemphasize the importance of theupcoming election. .Although no specific mechanism

was supported by the Joint Boardsto accomplish the cancellation ofclasses without missingactualclassdays it has been suggested that themid-semester break be moved upa week so that election day wouldbe included in the break.Also taken up at the meeting was

the issue of the Student Auditor'soffice which has been a source, .of controversy since the beginmngof the school year.In an S&B interview Wednesday

morning Michelle Conway, the stu­dent Auditor, explained her role. inHIe controversy and also tried todefine what she though the role ofthe auditor should be. Following theresignation of Loren Hart, who wasAssistant Auditor last year and wasto be Auditor this year, Ms. Conwaywas appointed Auditor. This madener the first Auditor in recent SGAhistory, she explained, who had ?othad tile experience of being ASSIS­tant Auditor for the preceeding year.SGA, through the Finance Commit­

tee ' was at the same time callingfor'a tighter control on the SGA bUd­get and a more accurate accounting

in Grinnell this Saturday and Sun­day. An instructional meeting forinterested students will be held at12:3D p.m. Saturday in ARH audi­torium. Presently being organizedis a canvas of the Grinnell campuswhich should identify the extent ofDemocratic support in the collegecommunity.To finance the actiVities, the Mc­

Govern group has planned a numberof fund-raising activities. Approx­imately $100 has already been raisedthrough 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 willbe a showing of Milhous in ARHauditorium, for which a small con­tribution wUl be requested.Following these activities, the next

major effort of the group will be toorganize election day activities.Volunteers will be needed on elec-tion day for telephoning, walking to

Mr. KasimDw said that he realizesmany students may have lost inter­est in religion due to the formal.and often uninterestinf: religiollsprograms that they were exposed towhen they were YOllng. The coursesand activities that he is directingare aimed at promoting a desire tolearn. "There is ave!';" gool! spir­it here.

The position as RA, Bob feels,is gratifying because he can createit out of what he came here with,rather than try to mold himselfto the job.

Miss Donahoe also noted that thebank would make exceptions to the"checking account first" rule in thecase of a student who wanted to de­posit tuition for second semesterduring the first semester. This, shetold us was a legitimate purposefor a savings account, and the bankwas usually willing to open sllch ac­counts.

She added that the bank welcomesstudent business, and offers ser­vices which students generally maynot be aware of. Tllis, she told the8&9, is one reason for the bank'sservice charges, and for the re­quirements it maintains for openingsavings accounts.

Grinnell FederalSa.vlngs maintainsthe most flexible policy of the threelocal institutions concerning studentaccounts. Mr. Martin o. O'Connor,the Association's President, told theS&B in a telephone interview that,"We welcon: \l them in any form they(the students) want them."He said that while some stUdentsaVings accounts required a bit morework than other accounts, his Assoc­iation's palicy was to welcome allaccounts as long as a minimum bal­ance of $1.00 was maintained.

Each account, he told us, coststhe Association about Z5~ per monthfor time on the Chicago computerwhich handles the "bookkeeping"for saVings accounts. Thus, he said,an account with a $10 or $15 bal­ance is not profitable.

At this time, the Association hasno plans for making accounts moredifficult to open. If it ever becamenecessary to require a higher mini­mum, or some other kind of re­striction to opening accounts, Jonesadded, the new regulations would beapplied uniformly to all the Associ­ation's potential customersnnotjust to Grinnell College students.

SAVINGS ACCOUNTS

Polides Vary Widelyby John Wylie

Grinnell' 5 three financial institu­tions--Ginnell State Bank, Powe­shiek County National Bank, andGrinnell Federal SaVings and Loan,have markedly different policies a­bout opening and maintaining studentsavings accounts.F, Addison Jones, President of the

Grinnell State Bank, told the S&Bin an interview last week that thebank's normal policy was to rejectstudent requests for savings ac­counts "because that's not reallywhat they want."Jones explained that most students

who came into the Bank wantingto 'open a savings account were reallyinterested in an account from wllichthey could make frequent cash with­drawals.

By his definition (and that of theother bankers who talked with the8&B) a savings account requiresa fairly substantial balance, in add­ition to a fairly stable character.An account which fluctuates oftenand which has a consistently lowbalance simply does not qualify, asa savings account, according toJones.

. His bank's· policy is to suggestto students wishing to open suchaccounts that they instead considera checking account. The bank does,he added, make special exceptionsin the cases of students whocandem­onstrate that they really need asavinks account. These are usuallythose students who already have achecking account, and who have someform of regular income they wishto deposit and have earn interest.

Jones summarized by telling the8&B that, "We must serve the pub­lic, and part of that responsibilityis to maintain the bank in soundcondition." Since the Bank has foundthat saVings accounts are more ex­pensive to open than .checking ac­counts, small accounts which are inreality beipg us~d as checking ac­co unts cost the Bank money, andcannot be justified.

Poweshiek Couhty National Bank'spolicy seems to be a bit more flex­ible. Mary D. Donahoe, Cashierof the Bank, told the S&B that Powe­shiek National was happy to openstudent savings accounts as long asthe student already maintained achecking account, and as long asa minimum balance of $5.00 wasmaintained in the savings account.

stated, was a "definite success,""the message was delivered andtaken well." Anyone who missedit, he added, missed something rare,especially Sunday night. The per­formances of Reggie Workman,Mtume, Charles Tolliver, TonyCallender, and Charles Davis madethe evening "rare" according toLytle who referred to these per­formers as "the elite corp, thegods, the supermen technically, mo­rally, conceptionally . . ."

Concerning his own performance,Lytle commented that he felt physi­cally exhausted after the weekendand was unable to start thinkingabout the upcoming play rehearsalshe is to be involved with.

Ly­tle expressed that, at the beginningof his career his approach to hismusic was youthful and fun, butnow it is a sense of cultural urgen­cy that motivates him.Originally from New York City,

Lytle received his first musicaltraining at approximately, age fivefrom his father, who was a churchorganist. Oberlin, the University ofWisconsin, and the University ofNew York gave him his formalmusical training. After school,Lytle played professionally at con­certs across the country.His appearance on the Grinnell

Regarding Lytle'sfeelings about the campus, he com­mented, "1 have positive feelings;1don't have a bad taste in my mouthyet, I don't expect to."

Medvin: Criticism1

To the college community:I spent 3-lj2 years at Grinnell,

during those years a lot of thingshappened, to me, to my friends,to the college, and most noticablyto our society.

Drugs became more middle class,more common and to an extent morerespectable. We put aside someof our Victorian and Puritan viewsof sex and morality. Pattiotismchanged, no longer was it enough tosimply be an American, we weremore likely to adopt the' 'My Coun­try, Right or Wrong." attitUde, orwe would become hypercritical, tocondemn the evils, ignore many ofthe practicalities, and demand theIdeal, a "Change it or lose it."attitude. Crime rose, as did govern­ment snooping and heavy handed­ness. :Nothing ,was thesamea:nymore. The whole society seemed tohave entered a period of rapidlyincreasing change, we began to ex­perience Alvin Toffler's FutureShock.

Many cried that our societyIcoun­try was being torn to shreds byan effete corps of dope smok­ing homosexual communist inspiredhippy freaks, or that the Imperialistforces and the big corporations hadsucceeded in getting a strangle holdon all aspects of our lives.But, for me, there was really no­

thing to fear, for being at Grin­nell I experienced the enthusiasm ofa generation out to change it all,to end the war, to feed the hun­gry, heal the sick, clean up thecities, and much more. We weregoing to save the country, maybetlIe world.

Then one sunny May morning some­one woke me up and told me thatwe'd invaded Cambodia and Laos,that they were shooting (and kill­ing) kids on campuses all over thecountry and that we were all goingto go down to the "liberated" ROTCbuilding. After two years of a lotof talk we now had an opportunityto act, so we closed the schools,over 400 of them and decided thatwe'd given notice that we weren't"gonna take no mo·re.'

The next fall we came back,butsome how the ability or desire toget fired up about anything "heavy"was gone. It was study and/or partyat Grinnell. And as far as gettinginvolved it wasn't just Grinnel~, itwas the whole country, and we'vebeen going down hill ever since.It wasn't just the war either, it

was everything. It seemed that so­ciety was finally slipping over theedge. It wasn't dope, or free love,or the Black or White Panthers,it wasn't even IT&T. It was us,the peopie.

uation we encounter, we must enterinto thought in order to take stepsto insure our survival. Clearly thisis not what Gregg means. He meansthat, on the Whole, a process ofconceptual thought is required forthe existence of mankind, which isIrlle. If Mr. Hessburg has managedto survive up to !lOW without think­ing (a conclusion supported in morethan one way by his letter) it issimply because others have done itfor him.

What Daffner meant when he said, 'Man is free to evade reality andto unfocus his mind" was' 'Man isfree to attempt to evade reality andto unfocus his' mind", which is notcontrldictory to saying "Man is notexempt from the laws of reality."The presumed contradiction is in­visible, not naked; and I also, inci­dentally, consider the above ex­plicatio~ to be unnecessary for anybut the densest readers.If Mr. Hessburg had had the witsto look up the word "iconoclast"he would have found that the truedefinition, .which is: "one whoattacks and seeks to overthrow trad­iUonal or popular ideas or institu-.Hons" is not identical with his ownrather laughably incongruous ver­sion ("a person who categoricallyrejects all fraudulent institutionswithin his sphere of existence").By the correct definition ofthe word,Gregg Daffner is an iconoclast, anda far better one than any self-styled"iconoclast" who would condoneeither Hessburg's methods, or hisas yet unclear ideas.

To tlIe Editors:For the last three years, the Nixon

administration has intensified theeffort to force the population ofSouth Vietnam out of the countrysideand into the cities and highly guarded.. strategic hamlets". Under th.estepped-up pacification program Ithas declared much of the country­side a "free fire zone," and hasdestroyed one-third of the hamletsin Soutll Vietnam.The current offensive of the Peo­

ple's Liberation Armed Frees, nowin its seventh month, has changedall this; much of the pacificationprogram has been dismantled. Hun­dreds of thousands ofpeasants , freedfrom strategic hamlets, are makingtheir way back to their ancestralfarm plots, which are mostly in the"liberated zone"--that part of SouthVietnam under the administration ofthe Provisional Revolutionary Gov­ernment, (PRG).Since the offensive began, the li­

berated area has greatly expanded,and now comprises vast zonesstretching from the northern mostprovince of Quang Tri to the south­ernmost province of Ca Mau. EvenGeneral Weyand estimates that one­half of South Vietnam is now con­trolled by the PRG.

In these liberated zones life hasactually been improving despite car­pet bombing by Nixon's B-52's. Twothirds of the hamlets in the zonenow have medical teams. Wages are20 times as high as in Saigon.Returned refugees are given land,food, and money. In one province,classes for 10,000 students wereorganized and 25 schools were setup in 2 districts of another, in Apriland May.

High: Hessburg Leffer

This year there is no such crisis situation. This is no in­vasion or war, but merely a political campaign. Nonethelesswe must be careful to avoid appearing as an institution toadvocate one political philosophy or another, for once thathappens we make ourselves the tool of an ideology and a po­litical movement while ceasing to be a free community. Asan educationalinstitution, we should be concernedwith broaderthings. President Leggett's statement will, we hope, assurethe continuation of that ideal.

Grinnell is a small and tight community and has historicallybeen a liberal one, thus for years it has tended to form aconsensus stand on many issues. The campus has been shownin this election year, for example, to be overwhelminglyDemocratic and strongly liberal in its outlook: an S&B po­litical survey several weeks ago showed that all but 4.2%of the community considered themselves to be politicallyDemocratic or Independent, and that 77.9% intended to votefor George McGovern for President. The county Democraticchairman is a professor at the college, and the local'Demo­cratic headquarters opened only last week after studentshad provided the impetus. Seven former Grinnell studentsHe now working actively in the Iowa McGovern organizationand several othes are active in the Mezvinsky for Congresscampaign.

Political Season...

Two and one-half years ago Grinnell, under great tension,succumbed to the popular demand and took an institutionalstand. Closing the school a few days after the invasion ofCambodia in May of 1970, members of the Administrationand selected students flew off to Washington to voice to Iowansin Congress the college's concern over the matter.

It is easilythe most absurd letter to the edi­tor printed in your paper 10 date.Granted, this is no mean task in aworld in Which men use languageas they would use a whore. Still,Mr. Hessburg's letter possesses allthe necessary qualifications. It ishysterical, imbalanced, carping,slipshod, and there is a constantattempt throughout the whole of it01 attack Ihe man instead of theideaua modus operandi which isegregiously inimical to a maturediscussion of ideas.

Machine's poetic message, a mes­sage that is chiefly the conceptionof Robert Wyatt. His songs revealhis frustration at the impedimentscontained in the mundanities of life,yet simultaneously admit their sur­face importance, and his own pre­occupation with them (witness "WhyAm I So Short?" on the first al­bum).

The second side features two songs,one a bitter message to departedbassist Kevin Ayers, the otber de­bating the difference betweendreams. and consciousness.The main thrust·of Side II, however,is a series ofinstrumentalcompos­itions by Ratledge, which can bestbe described as jazz soloing andelectronic textures of sound super­.Imposed over complex extensions ofrock rhythms. At this point is re­vealed the tension extantin the band:Wyatt, despite his fine drumming,is preoccupied with voice, melody,anel .J yric, while the chief focus of.Ratledge and Hopper is with themusic itself, the sound and thesolos. The band moved finally inthis direction, as can be seen inthe following three albums; Wyatt'sdissatisfaction with this trend re­sulted in his leaVing Soft Machinelast year and forming his own band,Matching' Mole, who have a fine al­bum as yet unreleased in the UnitedStates. It is in this second album.though, that the band was able tofuse its two directions in an un­paralleled piece of rock music.

A friend of mine is a confirmedSoft Machine freak, who orderedtheir albums direct from England.so as to get thl~m earlier. He hasevery album that Soft Machinemus­icians ever playedon,includingraresolo records by Wyatt and EltonDean, alto saxist who joined thegroup soon after the second album.Yet even after this barrage of Eng­lish jazz and rock, hereturns oftento Volume II: "I think I'll be lis­tening to it even after their otheralbums.

The English rock scene has al­ways struck me as heing a bit morecreative than that in the UnitedStates. Perhaps it is because theyare culturally removed fI'om thesoUrces of rock that tile Englisharecontinually able to produce musicthat transcends or combines itsroots. On one extreme there arethe Stones; on the other end of thespectrum. there is Soft Machine, aband that really has no rock coun­terpart in this country.

First heard warming up audiencesfor a production of Desire CaughtBy the Tail, Pablo Picasso's out­rageious erotic work, the Soft Ma­chine next made a record hreaking

much. Frequently, the quartet waslost in the shuffle, and I can onlysay that, within the limits of thegenre, they played welLAfter the intermission came what

1 thought was the besl effort of theconcert, namely the Quartet, Opus44, No. I of Menelssohn. The firstmovement, Molto Allegro Vivace;was in my opinion, brilliant. It wasdramatic, it was taut, and it wasunified. But then came the Men­uetto, The playing here was posi­tively shaky, especially on the partof· the first violin. Eric L.ewis, A­bout midway through the third move­ment, however,Mr. Lewis seemed toget hold of himself again, and re­couped with playing fully up to thehigh standard he set in the firstmovement. The quartet finished witha well-executed fourth movement.What are we to make of this os­

cillation? It seemed to me thatthe group was ,too wound up. Thiswas emphasized when they stoodto receive applause: tile expres­sions on their faces were reallygrim. I have a modest proposal tomake: r would like to suggest thatthe group relax a little bit, even tothe point of enjoying themselves.I believe that then theil' playingwould more consistently be at thelevels they have sllown tllemselvescapable of.

(Washington, D.C.)--When we dis­persed for the. summer last May,one could confidently appraise theGrinnell campus as a confined ar­senal of McGovern supporters. Mostcampuses were reporting a similarunity of purpose.

For many, it was the upheaval offour years of impotence and anti­cipation, It was the fermentation ofa cause. There.were the rumblingsof the Democratic primaries fore­boding the eruption of the studentvote,

Who would have expected such asudden disintegration of unity andexuberance? It is like the little boywho, upon receiving birthday pre­sents, furiously explores them untilone runs down and he loses interest.A sad tale for a bunch of saga­

McGovern's unpardonable mistakewas responding to his people's faithwith concrete proposals on the mat­leI'S that have aggravated and sty­mied those people for as long asI've been around to be aggravated,

That's the same guy Who, in 1968,promised' 'that if I were PresidentI would give the Vice Presidentmajor additional duties in helpingadminister the domestic functionsof government. One of the first ofthese duties would be to involvehimself directly and personally inthis entire effort to move govern­ment closer to the people and tomake it more responsive."

That's the same guy who, in 1967,said: "There must be strong, in­dependent-minded men in the cabi­net. They must be encouraged tospeak up and they must have powerin their own right." That's the sameguy Wally Hickel and Robert Finchbelieved.

That's the same guy Who, in 1962,proudly announced, "one of the greatmarks of America is that we havenever in our history discontinuedpolitical discussion, even when wehave been at war."

That's the same guy who, in 1964,said: "Opposition to the war in this

LEAP Promotes Environmental Qualityby Keith Kozloff

Grmnell may be far removed fromthe ravages of the logging industrybut each student at Grinnell can dosomething personally to lessen thedestruction of forests--paper re­cycling. According to Bill Persons,newly appointed director of Grin­nell's paper recycling operation,"seventeen trees' weresaved foreach of the twenty tons of paper re­cycled at Grinnell last year."The operation was originated and

sponsored by Local Effluent Abate­ment Procedures (LEAP) and hasnow been institutionalized under theauspices of Student Government As­soctation.Bill describes how the process will

work and what each student shoulddo. On every !loor of every hallis a box for clean paper and adesignated place to stack news­papers, magazines, and corrugatedcardboard. What exactly constitutesclean paper?

"Clean paper," says Persons, "isbest defined by listing what it doesnot include such as napkins, tissuep~per, cellophane, wax paper, paperWIth a waxy, metallic, or plasticcoating, tin foil, paper with dirt.food, or grease on it, carbon paper,and paper with glue, staples, paperclips, or tape on it." All otherpaper, even if crumpled or withwriting on it, is classified as cleanpaper.Incidentally, computer cards and

computer print-out should alsobe put in the clean paper box. Per­sons has a suggestion to make foreveryone, "If each student keepsa separate receptacle in his roomfor clean paper and dumps it whenit becomes full, this will minimizethe effort on the student's part aswell as keep the clean paper boxfree of impurities."

"Now you can drive along the high­Viay and see timber areas bulldozedaway and planted for agriculture,"said Scheffler, illustrating the needfor effective land-use policies, "Fora state like Iowa, with less timber(puhlically owned) than any state intile union, this is a tragic loss."Echoing Ihe suggestion that ISPIRGformulate a model land-use bill,Scheffler deemed ISPIRG 's retentionof a legal director, John Wellman,as a significant asset. "For anykind of land-use policy to be ef­fective it must have real teeth 10it; it must be enforceable. Legalaspects of a land-use policy areextremely, frightfully unknown atthis lime...".

Special reduced "youth fares" on the nation's airlines appear to be onthe way out, according to information received this week from the Con­tinental Marketing Corporation.A Civil Aeronautics Board Examiner ruled four years ago that such

fares were "unjustly discriminatory" because age alone is not a validdifference betw.een passengers. Sackloads of mail opposing the decisioncaused the CAB to reverse its decision. ., Since that time, a four year study of youth fares has been conductedto determine whether the reduced fares are reasonable. A decision wasslated to have been announced in August, but has been clelayed. reportedlyuntil after the November elections.Sources quoted by Continental M~rketing concur that chances are bleak

that reduced youth fares will continue.

We were on our w~y back toGrinnell with the exception that wewere missing one canoe. It was likethe old WW II airfield with the brasslooking on waiting for the last planeto come in, yet knowing not if itwould.The occasion was the SRA's over­

night canoe trip on the Iowa River.According to The Iowa Conserva­tionist "throughout most of its lengththe Iowa River is a typical prairiestream." Such was not the case forour trip from Eagle City to Eldora.Finding Eagle City was in itself

a task, but the eagle in front of thesingle dwelling should have been aclue.

In 1943 when men were men, womenwere women, and "Japs" were" rapped " in the stately Scarlet andBlack:, newly constructed CowlesHall, then occupied by the First andSecond Divisions of Grinnell's armytl'ainees, was the first proud perchof Garst, the 273 pound cast-ironeagle. Garst's 30 year history endedon Tuesdav the 27th of last week.Garst was' stolen while the miststill carressed the grass and thenumerous and varied doggy done­its on voluptuous Mac Field. Theten year North Campus rivalry sor­rowfullyended when six Gates fresh­men dumped Garst into the deep andMurckey waters ofRock Creek Lake.

The durable eagle was one of manycast for the Unitoo states Armyduring the Second World War by thePendleton-Joseph Clarion BellCompany of Tintinnabulation, Wy­oming. The plant had been con­verted from bell construction to theproduction of heroic statues.

Garst was given to the school byLt. Gen. McNally Cowles, lIO rela­tionship to the men after whom thehall or the supermarket were named,The lonely eagle was secured ontothe new structure by three bolts,just below the sundial, much to thechagrin of the obviously inspiredarchitect who said: "Putting suchgingerbread on a classically sleekstructure makes m-y gorge rise."Gorge or no, when the army leftthe relieved eagle remained on ci­vilian Cowles. The lofty bird silentlymolted there until he was removedin 1960. In the 1962 cyclone he waspictured with pipe-in-beak,"COWLES" tattooed across hischest, surrounded by liqueur bottlesand various less-than-dignifiedper­sonages.

The ten year rivalry began when hewas mistaken for one of the Cowlespreps, stolen by Clark Hall andthen tarred and feathered. Cowlesimmediately retaliated with the mosttitanic water fight ever seen westof the Mississippi. This rivalrycontinued until 1971 when traditionwas broken by freshmen fromCOWles Hall who in a fuddle-headedstate, removed the startled eagleto Rawson tower, Thestatue, yankedfrom a second floor Clark radiator,where it was secured with a thinbicycle chain, cascaded down theClark stairway, cllipped off piecesof these stairs, and woke mosteveryone up during its voyage toRawson. The girls of Rawson sur­prised with their new possession.promptly renamed the winsomeeagle "Roslyn" .Roswald Garst, the noble eagle

was originally named after ROs-'wald Garst, the farmer, who is bestknown for telling Nikita Kruschevhow to decollectivize, sell wheatto Russia, and raise the price ofbread at home. (The rumor thathe now serves in Washington as anaide to Earl Butz is a bald-facedrumor.) Garst who, like all of Grin­nell in 1943, was originally 111ywhite, was painted Rocky Mountain'Blue (see Denver, John, second al­bum) in 1971 by the incorruptibleRawson woman. Some of the oldguard in Clark gave the embarras­ed eagle a shower and, fortunately

The key to the win was the tough­ness and consistency of the defense.The outstanding play of fuilbacksRoger Kumler, Glenn Cushing, andKarl von Orsdol made it relativelyeasy for first-year goalie TimHavens to record the first shutoutof the season.

Carls BlankPioneers 6-0

by Justin CaseA strong Pioneer defense held tile

Carleton Carls to a mere six pointslast S-atlll'day, but the squad stilltumbled to its second straight con­ference loss, as a sloppy Grinnelloffense was frozen out of the scorecolumn, though presented with atleast three gOOd 0ppOrtanities tocrack the ice.

Early in the first quarter, Grin­nen's Tom Kalhorn recovered aCarleton fumble Oil the Carls' 17­yard Une, After pressing down tothe five yard line, the ball wasdriven back to the twenty, A fieldgoal attempt from the 27 yard linewas then wide to the right.Soon afterwards, Carleton was for­

coo to punt and Grinnell took pos­session (In the oppostiion's 45. WashAlston's I unning capped a ririvedownto the 13. There was a fumble onthe next play, however, and Carle­ton recovered lhe ball.

Then late in the second quarterthe Pioneers finally began to pUTit all together. Augmented by thepassing of qU<lfterback Jeff Dick,the offense act,'anced the ball mOrEthan 50 yards, down to the Carle­ton 26. However, with 10 second~

left in the half, a questionable calon a 10urth down play may have cositile Pioneers a few points.

Instea.d of going for the field goal,which, if successful, would have tiedthe game at three apIece, the coacbesdecided to try for a first down orthe touchdown. But tbe Carls stop­ped a play on the ground and tbe halfended with Carleton ahead 3-0.There was very little action of any

consequence in the second half ex­cept 10L' another Carletoll field goaland a tricky lateral play e>;ecutedwith great proficiency by the des­perate Pioneers in the final secondsof the game. They were able topenetrate deep into the opposition'szone but not quite deep enough.
