Stevens of Grinnell Col- t lege. President Stevens declared: "I find fault with the complacency o which seems to exist among stu- f dents and faculty in most colleges and universities in the United . States. VIt is proper for young people to be r2dical, restless, and discon tented with the status quo and eager to see great changes occur ring in a social structure. It is un natural for them to be complacent, passive, and primarily concerned with security and willing to allow the older generation to be more radical than they are." Methodist Group Announces Plans For -Spring Term Wesley Foundation, Methodist student organization, has an nounced its plans for spring ac tivities. A retreat for the group will be held during the semester, and a sacrificial supper will take place, with proceeds used for overseas relief. A clothing supper will also be held.
