First semester statistics show that 40 per cent of the men of the freshman class achieved a grade point average of less than 2.0 while the 170 coeds of I'helps Hall were amassing an average of 2.8. There are 68 men ineligi- ble to rush as compared to 51 last year. ONLY NINE WOMEN have failed to achieve a 1.7 for their first semester grade point as com- pared to 68 men. There are 138 freshmen under a 2.0 and 107 of them are men. At this time last vear there were 75 men below 2.0. What is the reason for the great difference between the per- formance of the sexes? Are the freshmen men simply poorer in quality than the women? Is Hope College becoming more difficult or is there a more complex ex- planation for these statistics? A spot check of courses fre- quented by freshmen gives cre- dence to the theory that this year's freshman class, at least the men of the freshman class, have failed to perform up to the standard of previous classes. Dr. Henry Voogd reports that in his Old Testament course the "general performance is down in compari- son with previous years." Men in his section averaged a full grade lower than the women. Mr. David Clark reported that in his section of European civili- zation he failed five out of 18 -- and all five were freshman men. He said that there were "more failures" than ever before. FA'GLISH GRADES, on the other hand, were up this semester compared to past years. The fresh- men averaged about a 2.6 in the Knglish composition course. Xo breakdown of men and women was yet available in this analysis. A comparison of Scholastic Ap- titude Test scores show that this year's freshman class compares favorably with past classes and CORE Director F. McKissick Will Speak in Dimnent Chapel Kloyd K McKissick, national director of the Congress on I fac- ial Kquality (COKK) will speak next Tuesday evening at 8:15 p.m. in Dimnent Memorial Chapel. One thousand dollars was pro- vided by the Commission on Hace of the Reformed Church in Amer- ica to pay for his visit to Hope's campus. Mr. McKissick was borninAsh- ville, \.C., in 1922. He attended Morhouse College and Xorth Car- olina College before serving in the army during World War 11. Fol- lowing the war, he attended the ( niversity of Xorth Carolina Law School as the first Xegro ever admitted there. He was graduated in 1950 and was admitted to the Uar the follow- ing year. Mr. McKissick served as North Carolina Youth Director of the National Assn. for the Ad- vancement of Colored Peoples and has been active in Civil Rights negotiations and demonstrations. In 1963, during the march on Washington he represented CO- RE. He served as legal defense attorney in numerous trials dur- ing this period. He gave up his successful law practice to become Xational Director of COK K, which is his present occupation. that the men seem to be as well prepared as the women.

Sir C.uthrie, stage director, author and theater-founder, pre- sently on a tour of colleges and universities, is presenting lectures chosen from the topics: "The The- ater Today," "The Theater and the Community," "Of What I se Is a Serious Theater?" "The il- lusion of Theatrical Illusion," "Shakespeare on Stage," and "Shakespeare Today." HAVING DIRECTED over 200 plays, 11 of which have been seen on Broadway production. Sir Gu- thrie has become a major influ- ence in the English speaking thea- ter over the last 40 years. Recognition of his enormous contribution to the theater was granted by Queen Klizabeth when she knighted him in 1962. In the current Broadway sea- son, the Sir Guthrie versatility is being exhibited in a revival of the Kaufman-Kerber comedy, "Dinner at Kight," the Metropo- litan Opera Company's new pro- duction of "Peter Crimes" and the Briston Old Vic production of "Measure for Measure." SIR GUTHRIE DIRECTED in London's Old Vic before he be- came artistic director of the Shakespeare Kestival. Some of his recent publications include "A Life in the Theater," "A Xew Theater," and "in Various Di- rections." Mr. Ralph will present Sir Ty- rone Cuthrie at this event which is open to the public. SIR TYRONE GUTHRIE Girls Organise Want New AWS Regulations FLOYD McKISSK By Pat Canfield "We are meeting tonight for a reason: we are disturbed with the pettiness of the rules that re- strict the women on Hope's cam- pus. Do we advocate eliminating all rules aqd having complete anarchy? Of course not." WITH THIS STATEMENT of purpose in front of them, some 50 girls met Wednesday night to discuss ways in which AWS could become more relevant directly re- lated to the problems and needs of Hope women. The statement further said, " There are certain basic laws that must bind mankind. We should stress that it isn't the big rules that stifle us, it is the creeping little ones. Laws that have a base are necessary. "And that is how we separate the important ones from the tri- via, by asking the question: What is the logical foundation of this rule. Tradition, for example, is often not logical. The double stan- dard is often not logical. We want to see some changes in the atti- tude with which we are treated. "THIS ATTITUDE IS is a de- grading parent-child relationship. As students we are looking for something more. We don't want to revise the Handbook, we want a new Handbook, representative of 1967 and relevant to our needs. It seems that it is up to us to do something and we want to do it." Barb Timmer and Jan Sebens, as co-chairmen of the meeting, suggested that committees be or- ganized to draft a general propo- sal of changes which would be presented to AWS for considera- tion. Committees under the head- ings of the Handbook, AWS offi- cers, dorm regulations, and other regulations, (which included sub- committees on hours, eating off campus, dress, permissions and smoking), were set up. ONE GIRL WAS appointed chairman of each committee, which will meet to discuss specific- problems. Committee results will be reported at a general meeting next Wednesday night. These re- sults will be incorporated into the final proposal presented to AWS. Miss Timmer emphasized that the key to these meetings and sub- sequent proposal was organi- zation. "We can't do anything by a little outbreak here or a little sneak play there," she com- mented. Miss Sebens and Miss Timmer expressed their intention of visiting Mrs. Isla Van Kene- naam, Dean of Women, to explain the group's goal. Several students voiced displea- sure with the way AWS representa- tives were elected. "We were given a list of names at a dorm meeting and were told our AWS represen- tative would be decided by an on-the-spot vote. We had no part in deciding the nominations." One girl stated that such nominations were decided by the housemother and the RAs. MANY GIRLS WERE concern- ed about the fact that AWS rule and policy changes were not known about until after they had been put into effect. "We know nothing about the origin or con- tent of the original proposals," one girl complained. A member of the AWS council present at the meeting, said that there was no reason for such unawareness as all AWS meetings were open. It was then suggested that a group of women attend the next meeting on Tuesday. Such action was stymied after thecouncil mem- ber revealed that Tuesday's (Continued on page 7 ) 1966 Yearbook Awarded First Class Ranking 'The 1966 Milestone has been awarded a Lirst Class rating by the American Yearbook Critical Service of the Associated Colle- giate Press. Five honor rating awards are given by the Service: /Mi-Ameri- can, First Class, Second, Third, and Fourth Class. E A C H ( O L L E G E or universi- ty is placed in one of the twelve categories according to enroll- ment. Thus, Hope was judged in comparison to other colleges ranging from 1251 to 1750 stu- dents. 'The judges carefully read the entire yearbook, edited by Jon Wiegand, and indicated by page number where the weaknesses were. Each section uf the year- book was judged according to photographs, editorial content and presentation. From the comments in the book- let, this year's Kditor-in-chief, Barb Fugazzotto, intends to cor- rect the weaknesses found in the 1966 Milestone. 'The two major improvements will be: (1) clearer, sharper and lighter photographs, and (2) more academic coverage. In- cluded in the latter will be a re- presentative or cross-sectional re- cord of the academic year. MISS FUGAZZOTTOsaysthat this year's award is "quite an incentive" for improving as many weaknesses as possible in the 1967 Milestone. She is aiming for All- American coveted award in the small-college categories.

FRESHMAN RUSH—Actives and rushees are shown enjoying a coffee break. Sixty-eight freshmen men

did not attain the 1.7 average required to rush a social fraternity due to male freshmen immaturity, a

lack of motivation among freshmen men, a lack of discipline in Kollen Hall and an inadequate system of academic advising for freshmen.

H o p e Col lege c o m m u n i t y a n d raise some basic ques t i ons a b o u t b o t h the academic a n d social aspects of c a m p u s l ife.

T h e ar t ic le d e a l i n g wi th t h e aca-demic s h o w i n g of the f r e s h m e n po in t s o u t t h a t a grea t m a n y of the m e n have s imply been u n a b l e to cope w i t h the d e m a n d s of the i r courses . At t h e same t i m e the vast m a j o r i t y of the w o m e n have h a d c o m p a r a t i v e l y l i t t le t r o u b l e . P e r f o r m a n c e by t h e m e n is also poore r t h a n t h a t of ma le f r e s h m e n in the past.

Admiss ions records show t h a t b o t h the m e n a n d w o m e n e n t e r e d H o p e wi th the same p o t e n t i a l for academic a c h i e v e m e n t . T h e i r records in high school c o m p a r e d f a v o r a b l y to those of p rev ious classes of m e n . T h e p r o b l e m m u s t lie in wha t h a p p e n s to the men a f t e r they ar r ive a t H o p e .

T h e ar t ic le a t t r i b u t e s the super-iori ty of the p e r f o r m a n c e of the wo-men to the res t r ic t ions o n them which e n c o u r a g e s tudy ing . T h e m e n e x h i b i t a m a r k e d i m m a t u r i t y a n d lack of mot iva-t ion in c o m p a r i s o n to t h e coeds.

T h e obv ious s o l u t i o n to the p r o b lem of the f r e s h m a n m a l e would seem to be the e s t a b l i s h m e n t of some f o r m of r e g u l a t i o n s which w o u l d restr ic t his h o u r s a n d force h i m to a d o p t be t t e r s tudy hab i t s . W e feel, however , t ha t this w o u l d be a b a c k w a r d s tep at a t ime when H o p e mus t c o n t i n u e to move for-ward in o rde r to c o m p e t e for s t u d e n t s wi th o t h e r colleges.

T h e Admiss ions Office r epor t s t ha t ma le a p p l i c a t i o n s a re d o w n 10 per cent f r o m last year ; the c r ea t i on of h o u r s for m e n w o u l d have a d i sas t rous effect on the a l ready d i m i n i s h i n g n u m b e r of ma le s t u d e n t s seeking an e d u c a t i o n at H o p e .

TH E A R T I C L E also po in t s ou t t ha t a cademic s t a n d a r d s have t i g h t e n e d th is year , c o n t r i b u t i n g

to the poor p e r f o r m a n c e of f r e s h m e n . W e feel t ha t this u p g r a d i n g of s tand-ards is h ighly benef ic ia l to the school . A h ighe r academic s t a n d a r d will at-tract a h ighe r ca l iber of s t u d e n t .

W h a t then is t h e so lu t ion? T h e s i t ua t i on is i n t o l e r a b l e as it now s tands .

T h e f r e s h m a n m a l e is an i m m a t u r e i n d i v i d u a l w h o is set loose on his own

to p u r s u e his courses w i t h l i t t le or n o superv is ion . M a n y of the f r e s h m e n could n o t h a n d l e this a d j u s t m e n t to self-discipl ine wh ich H o p e College de-m a n d s . I n his difficulty, the f r e s h m a n f o u n d few wi th the t ime or the mot iva-t ion to h e l p h i m ; most of the facul ty advisors were u n c o n c e r n e d a n d the resi-den t advisors were too busy wi th o the r act ivi t ies.

T h e sel l ing p o i n t of H o p e Col lege has always been its sense of c o m m u n -ity a n d conce rn . T h e f r e s h m e n m e n seem to have been lef t to the i r own de-vices on the o u t s i d e of th is c o m m u n i t y . Nex t year the Col lege m u s t improve its adv is ing system. If the w o m e n are mov-ed ou t of the cot tages as is present ly p l a n n e d , nex t year 's f r e s h m e n with the poores t p r e p a r a t i o n s h o u l d be placed in the cot tages wi th an R A respons ib le fo r only 10 to 12 s tuden t s . RA ' s shou ld only be selected w h o have b o t h the ab i l i ty a n d the t ime to serve as effective advisors. As m a n y uppe rc l a s smen as possible shou ld be p laced in Kollen Hal l in o rde r to p r o v i d e a s tabi l iz ing fac tor for the f r e s h m e n .

FO R T H E P R E S E N T , it is impera-tive to t i gh t en d i sc ip l ine in Kol-len Ha l l . T h e absen tee i sm of the

RA's has c o n t r i b u t e d to f r e s h m e n prob-lems a n d m u s t cease. P e r h a p s it is nec-essary to assign m o r e R A ' s to Kol len Hal l . At any ra te , d r i n k i n g in the rooms c a n n o t be p e r m i t t e d to c o n t i n u e u n d e r any cond i t i ons . F u r t h e r m o r e , an ex tens ive t u t o r i n g system mus t be es-tab l i shed to h e l p the m e n w h o have h a d difficulty w i t h grades .

T h e p e r f o r m a n c e of the girls seems to ind ica te t ha t they are m a t u r e e n o u g h a n d possess good e n o u g h s tudy habi t s to p e r m i t a r e l a x a t i o n of the rules r e s t r i c t ing t h e m . T h e y have earn-ed the c h a n c e to a t t a in a h ighe r degree of persona l r e spons ib i l i ty . T h e ar t ic le on page th ree c o n c e r n i n g t ransfers in-dicates tha t m a n y w o m e n regard the i r r e g u l a t i o n s as ch i ld i sh a n d feel they are capab l e of h a n d l i n g a h i g h e r degree of f r e e d o m . W e feel t ha t they deserve the chance to exercise t ha t f r e e d o m .

As for the m e n , the anchor feels tha t they mus t be given increased dis-c ip l ine a n d receive closer superv i s ion f r o m the i r advisors so t ha t they can be t te r cope wi th o u r h i ghe r academic s t anda rds .
