Forms committee

CLB to examine bookstore by Marjorie DeKam

The Campus Life Board initi-ated a s tudy of the Hope-Geneva Bookstore and cont inued discus-sion of minority s tudents ' prob-lems at its meeting Wednesday.

THE BOARD passed a propos-al by student Ron Posthuma to appoint an ad hoc commit tee to review the operat ions of the book-

Bergman series to end Tuesday

in DCC theater The Bergman Film Festival will

conclude tomorrow night with the showing of "The Devil's Eye ." The film will begin at 7 :30 in the theater of the DeWitt Cultural Center.

Admission will be $1 or the presentat ion of a festival t icket. Individual admission will be strictly on a space availability basis.

Sponsor of the series is the Society for the Educated Eye (S.E.E.), reorganized last fall by the late Dr. Robert Melka. S.E.E. hopes to bring additional out-standing films to Hope in the fu ture .

store. The commit tee will be com-posed of two s tudents and two faculty members.

It will study all aspects of the bookstore, including profit mar-gin, hiring practices and the resale of books, and will compare Hope-Geneva to other college book-stores, Posthuma said.

POSTHUMA was chosen as chairman of the commit tee . The other s tudent post will be held by Nan Olmsted, with the faculty positions yet to be filled. The commit tee will report back to the CLB this spring.

The CLB began discussion of minority students on campus at its Feb. 9 meeting. Wednesday Dr. David Marker, associate professor of physics, suggested hiring an outside consultant to study the minority situation in depth.

CLB CHAIRMAN Dr. Eliza-beth Reedy proposed the hiring of a black woman counselor who could aid students socially as well as academically.

Dr. Reedy quest ioned whether the goals of the college, as stated in the opening pages of the cata-log, were presently being served.

THE CATALOG states that "Hope ' s reason for being is each individual s tudent ; its purpose is the growth and development of

each student as a competent , creative, compassionate human being; its design is to provide full oppor tun i ty for the fulf i l lment of each individual s t u d e n t . "

Dr. Reedy remarked that while Hope has many talented black women, their " o p p o r t u n i t y for fu l f i l lment" is being stifled by social pressures. A trained coun-selor could assist s tudents in deal-ing with these pressures, she said.

MARKER STATED that this seemed more a white problem than a black problem. Dr. Reedy replied that the appo in tmen t of a counselor would be at least a start toward improving the si tuation of black women on campus.

Dean of s tudents Robert De-Young reported that there are presently no funds available to hire a full t ime professional coun-selor. He added that a part t ime position as admissions counselor will be vacated this spring.

DE YOUNG expressed concern that the appoin tment of a black counselor might mistakenly be considered the whole solution to the problems of blacks at Hope.

He said that improving the situation of blacks here could only be brought about by long range and wide sweeping pro-grams, not by just one person.

Junior Greg Pontier defeated Mark DeRoo in a run-off election Friday to become s tudent body president for 1972-73.

THE NEW Student Congress vice president will be Ron Pos-thuma, who defeated Jerry Lauver in the primary election Wednes-day. In the position of secretary-treasurer will be junior Lynn Wal-chenbach, who ran unopposed.

The third presidential candi-date, Bob Schellenberg, was elimi-nated in the primary election.

STUDENTS VOTING in the primary numbered 618. The run-off drew 567 voters.

Present s tudent body president Bob Scott refused to give the breakdown of votes, indicating that it was "against precedent to reveal this in fo rmat ion . "

SCOTT SAID that Pontier, Posthuma and Walchenbach will not take off ice until September and will have no duties until then except to nominate Candidates for student members of the governing committees during the summer.

Pontier, an art major, has worked at the Holland Draft In-formation and Counseling Center and is a member of the Collegium Musicum.

IN A PRE-ELECTION inter-view, he called for the adoption of

coed housing, liberalization of the college's alcohol regulations, and more minori ty studies courses. He also expressed a hope that Stu-dent Congress will "become more of a sounding board for small groups" within the college.

He called for a change in Kol-len Hall's present status as a dorm mainly for male freshmen.

Federal grant provides $22,232

for Dubrovnik summer study Financial aid to students at-

tending the GLCA's Cavtat-Dubrovnik summer study program will be made possible by a recent federal grant of $22,232, accord-ing to director of international education Dr. Paul Fried.

THE DEPARTMENT of Health, Educat ion and Welfare grant was awarded to the GLCA for its innovative four-week study session in one of Yugoslavia's most picturesque cities.

According to Fried, the award will enable the GLCA to offer 10 grants of $200, 10 of $500 and 10 of $800 to the thir ty part icipants in this summer 's program. Total cost will be $1325, he added, not including t ransportat ion.

"WE HAVE in the past asked HEW for grant monies and in-variably the amount awarded was cut considerably f rom our re-quest ," Fried said. This t ime we were given exactly the amoun t requested, which reveals great en-thusiasm for the program and indicates the high regard the

Recruitment difficult

GLCA and Hope have earned in their foreign s tudy ef for t s , " he said.

The summer session in Yugo-slavia will commence June 7 when students will fly to Belgrade for a two day orientat ion. They will then travel f rom Belgrade on a week-long in t roductory bus tour of the eastern and southeastern parts of Yugoslavia.

STUDENTS WILL arrive in Cavtat June 17 and will be housed with private families for the dura-tion of the academic session. During the six weeks of study classes will meet daily Monday through Friday. The group will also take three field study trips to the republics of Bosnia, Herzego-vina and Croatia.

Instruction will be in English and s tudents are expected to en-roll in three courses, earning a total of seven semester hours credit. In addit ion, they will re-ceive instruction in the Yugoslav language and history of the

Minority admissions up slightly from last year by Bob Roos

Admissions of minority stu-dents for 1972-73 show no start-ling increase over previous years, but they are moderately ahead of last year, according to director of admissions Tom LaBaugh.

SO FAR 29 applications have been received f rom black stu-dents; nine have been accepted, 15 are pending and five have been rejected, LaBaugh said in an inter-view Wednesday.

Seven Chicanos have submit ted applications to this point ; six have been accepted and one is pending, LaBaugh said. Four of the stu-dents have been accepted on con-dition of complet ing a summer course at Hope or participating in the Upward Bound program.

"WE'RE DOING better on ap-plications f rom black students now than we were last year - we had a total of 32 last year ," LaBaugh said.

"We got five applications just this past week," he added. "If we get three more we'll already equal our total for all of last year ."

THE FIGURES for the total number of black and Chicano students accepted last year are 14 and six respectively, LaBaugh said.

He indicated that he expects a total of ten Chicanos to be ac-cepted for '72- '73, but he d idn ' t venture a prediction on the num-ber of blacks who will be ad-mitted by September.

REGARDING recrui tment of minority students, LaBaugh said that the college now has a two-fold program. Hector Burke, assis-tant professor of education and director of the Upward Bound program, has been working at local high schools to attract Chi-cano students.

"We ask high school counselors which s tudents they think could make it at Hope, and this is how we've gotten most of the Chicano

s tudents we've accepted so fa r , " LaBaugh said.

STUDENT RUDY Howard has traveled to Chicago, Detroit , Grand Rapids, Benton Harbor and Muskegon in his part- t ime ef for t s to recruit black students , LaBaugh indicated. So far Howard has talked to about 150 students , he said.

Black Experience Day, sche-duled for Friday, will also be part of the college's recrui tment ef-forts , LaBaugh cont inued. The ad-missions office has invited black high school s tudents to the cam-pus to show them around and give them a chance to talk to black s tudents now at tending Hope, he said.

THE DEVELOPMENT of a brochure designed to a t t ract black s tudents to Hope is another part of the college's recrui tment ef-forts , LaBaugh said.

S t u d e n t s Joy Crawford, DeeDee Stewart and Howard are reviewing materials for the pam-phlet while Tamara Cook will be doing the writing, LaBaugh indi-cated. The Black Coalition will review the brochure, he added.

FINANCIAL AID for minority s tudents comes f rom a fund set aside by the college representing nine percent of its total financial aid resources, LaBaugh said. "The nine percent figure is a minimum a m o u n t , " he said. " N o less than nine percent of all aid f u n d s are to be used for minori ty s tudents . "

In order to supplement recruit-ment effor ts , LaBaugh has pro-

posed the development of "sup-portive services" for minority stu-dents on campus. Regarding the problems such s tudents face, he said, " I 'm not sure we need cur-riculum change, but we do need supportive counseling services."

"SUCH SERVICES could help, for example, the s tudent with a weak background who gets five solid courses during his first semester at Hope ," he said.

LaBaugh said he met with dean of s tudents Robert DeYoung Tuesday and roughed out a pro-posal for developing advising and tutoring services.

"WE'RE TALKING about one person to work with Chicanos and one for blacks," he said.

He added that such counselors "wouldn ' t have to be full-time people; they could be interns. There 's evidence of the need for this kind of thing, but I don ' t know how much time it would take."

THE ADMISSIONS director al-so outlined the primary obstacles to recrui tment of minority stu-dents. Conventional methods don' t work: " I 've visited 40 local high schools during my regular recrui tment e f for t s so far this year, and I've talked to one black student and no Chicanos," he said.

He explained that this lack of response is why the admissions office hired Burke and Howard to make special e f fo r t s to talk to minority s tudents .

RECRUITMENT is particularly difficult when competing with state schools " tha t provide full rides, tu tor ing services and subsis-tence allowances," LaBaugh con-tinued.

He ment ioned Central Michi-gan University in particular, where recrui tment is facilitated by a strong minorities program includ-ing black counselors, black ad-visors, a black cultural center and a black activities week.

LA BAUGH NAMED other problems Hope faces in recruit-ment: "When we get an applicant with a marginal academic record, our lack of supportive services makes it difficult for us to accept h im."

Black s tudents of ten have never heard of Hope; those in Detroit " d o n ' t even know where Grand Rapids is, let alone Hol-land."

PRESSURE TO increase admis-sions is another problem. "This job is a survival situation - I have to put our money where the best returns are ," LaBaugh said. He added, however, tha t "things are getting bet ter n o w . "

Asked about next year 's re-cruitment effor ts , the admissions director said that if some person-nel are hired for "support ive ser-vices," they will do some recruit-ment work in addit ion to their regular duties.

Otherwise, the admissions of-fice will cont inue t o employ some students part-t ime, he indicated.

Holland politics: a history of GOP hegemony Editor 's no t e : This is the f i rs t in a series of articles by anchor editor Bob Roos examining local poli-tics. This week he interviews Dr. Alvin Vanderbush , who describes local par ty al ignments and their historical background .

" T h e ra t io of Republ icans to Democrats is at least three to one in Holland. If t he democra t s get 25 percent of the vote, they ' r e l ucky . "

T H A T ' S HOW Alvin Vander-bush, professor of political science and long-time exper t in local poli-tics, sums up Holland's political al ignment.

" I t ' l l regularly run two t o one in Ot t awa Coun ty as a whole , " he said, speaking of the margin Re-publicans have over the Dems.

" T H E DUTCH people are just overwhelmingly Repub l i can , " he con t inued . " S o m e of these little Dutch townships are 80-90 percent G .O.P ."

Hol land 's election records cor-respond t o its polit ical a l ignment: " In recent years, I can only name one Democra t ic candida te who won an elect ion in Hol l and , " Van-derbush said. "He was a sheriff during the thir t ies ."

Government fund to aid projects in humanities

The National E n d o w m e n t for the Humani t ies has begun a pro-gram of grants for suppor t of humani t ies projec ts init iated and conducted by young people.

A N N O U N C E M E N T of the new program was made by Dr. Ronald S. Berman, NEH Chai rman, who said that the group is encouraging proposals for projects effect ive immediately .

Created in line with a recom-mendat ion made last year by the National Counci l on the Human-ities, the new program, called " Y o u t h g r a n t s in the Humani t i es , " will consider appl icat ions f rom both s tuden t s and young persons out of school.

BERMAN described the pro-gram as "an impor t an t new thrust in the E n d o w m e n t ' s cont inuing e f for t s to interest and involve all sectors of the popula t ion in the humani t i es . "

The program will o f f e r young people an o p p o r t u n i t y to t ransla te their educa t iona l and ethical con-cerns in to concre te projec ts and

to reflect critically on their own beliefs and values as well as those held by the larger society, Berman said.

HE ADDED that NEH is one of the f ew federal agencies in-volved in e f fo r t s of this kind.

March 17 has been set as the first deadline for " Y o u t h g r a n t s " appl ica t ions for projects sche-duled to begin during the summer or fall of 1972.

PROPOSALS will be evaluated comparat ively by a panel of young adul ts prior to submission to the National Counci l on the Humani t ies , which makes final r e commenda t i ons on all applica-t ions fo r E n d o w m e n t grants.

Fur the r i n fo rma t ion about the program, including eligibility, ap-plicat ion procedures , and grant r equ i rement s is conta ined in a b rochure available w i thou t charge f r o m Youthgran t s in the Human-ities, Nat ional E n d o w m e n t for the Humani t ies , Washington, D.C., 20506 .

t ime of the Civil War, this area was more Democra t i c , " Vander-bush said. However, by 1900 Hol-land had acquired t h e solidly Re-publican hue it has n o w , he indi-ca ted .

What accounts f o r the area 's R e p u b l i c a n i s m ? Vanderbush couln ' t give a sat isfying answer. "Basically the people are not only Republ ican but conservative, though I d o n ' t k n o w which one depends on t h e o t h e r , " he said.

" IN ECONOMIC mat te r s the people here are especially conser-vat ive," he con t inued . "This is not a s t rong un ion tdwn , and tha t ' s ano ther reason why the Demo-crats are weak. Most of the Dem-ocrats in the area are ei ther un-ionists or Cathol ics ."

Vanderbush indicated that there seems to be a correlat ion between Republ icanism and rural life: " I t ' s a rural thing. The only places in Michigan where the Dems are s t rong are the u rban areas ."

IT 'S IMPORTANT to k n o w what happened during the Depres-sion when discussing Michigan politics, Vanderbush went on. "West of here - in Illinois, Wis-consin, Iowa - fa rmers became disillusioned during the thir t ies and switched to the Dems ," he said.

"But this never h a p p e n e d in Michigan," he con t inued . Farming here is more diversified, and as a result Michigan farmers d idn ' t ex-perience the poverty felt else-where, he said. The re fo re they felt little desire t o change their politi-cal allegiance, he indicated.

H O L L A N D ' S Republ ican ism presents a contras t t o comparab le small industrial areas, Vande rbush said. As an example he named Grand Haven, which is a " u n i o n t o w n " with s t rong Democra t i c re-presenta t ion.

Vanderbush cited a hosti le att i-t ude on the par t of t h e church as

a main reason why labor un ions in Holland are f ew and weak.

"THE REFORMED and Chris-t ian R e f o r m e d Churches have f rowned on un ions because they view them as making fo r divided loyal t ies ," he said. "Even the Bap-tist Church has discouraged un ions . "

There is some prospec t of change in the local poli t ical pic-ture , Vanderbush indica ted: " I n the last 15 or 20 years Holland has become much more cosmopol -itan. Unions are stronger here now than they were 20 years ago, and they' l l get s t ronger . "

CHANGES WILL come only in the face of considerable obstacles, however, because " i t ' s no t fash-ionable to be a Democrat in Hol-land - you ' r e looked u p o n as some kind of n u t . "

Vanderbush also examined the political role of Holland 's minor-ity groups:

" F o r the most part they 've been politically apathet ic . This is the f rus t ra t ing thing f r o m the s tandpoin t of the Democra ts . If the Chicanos were active, you 'd

think t h e y ' d aff i l iate wi th the Democrats .

" I USED T O BE on the city planning board. 1 went th rough election records several t imes and ther 'd be only a h a n d f u l of Chi-canos w h o had voted.

How would Vanderbush ex-plain the apa thy of Hol land 's minor i ty g roup members?

"Pol i t ical science s tudies indi-cate tha t people who are unin-formed abou t issues and abou t the ef fec t e lect ions will have on t hem just d o n ' t vote. This is t rue of blacks as well as Chicanos. In Chicago, the Democra t s herd the blacks to the polls, but they aren ' t strong enough to do tha t here with the Chicanos.

" E V E N CHICANO leaders are not politically active in a part isan sense, because if they become active fo r the Democra t s in Hol-land, they lose whatever inf luence they might have had in non-partisan affairs .

" A n o t h e r reason why the Chi-canos are apolit ical is tha t most of the factor ies are non-union. If they ' re in un ions they ' r e more inclined to be act ive."

Two Hope s tuden t s were ar-raigned in Holland District Court today on charges of s imple lar-ceny. The charges s t emmed f r o m a college judicial board hearing Feb. 18 in which three w o m e n s tudents were convicted of t he f t .

The three w o m e n had pleaded guilty to charges tha t t h e y had stolen articles f r o m a r o o m in Gil more Hall.

Af t e r hear ing t e s t imony f r o m character witnesses on the girls' behalf and a repor t f r o m the arresting of f ice r , t he board recom-mended a sen tence of suspended expulsion. T h e t e rms of their two-semester p roba t ion provide for regular counsel l ing sessions.

According to judicial board m e m b e r Nancy Nor ton , the stu-dents were seen leaving Gi lmore Hall t he night of Feb, 12 carrying the articles. Housemothe r Elaine Van Liere no t i f ied campus police-man Glen Bareman.

Bareman t raced the t w o wo-men to a r o o m in Phelps belong-ing to a third girl who Bareman

later learned had helped to hide the s tolen articles. T h e three coeds admi t t ed the t h e f t when c o n f r o n t e d by Bareman.

Assistant professor of econom-ics Dr. R h o n d a Rivera represented the s tuden t s before the judicial board and entered a plea of guilty. Dr. Rivera pleaded ex tenua t ing c i rcumstances , arguing tha t the girls, w h o are black, had been subjected to undue social and academic pressures at the college.

Charac ter witnesses o f f e red tes-t imony that the girls were active in church work , and their previous good records were also con-sidered.

Af te r three hour ' s del iberat ion the board announced the verdict of suspended expulsion.

According to chief just ice Michael Boonstra , the board chose to suspend the expulsion sentence in the hope that such a course would allow f o r rehabi l i ta t ion and benef i t t he college as well.

Aimed at youth

Political conference planned

DR. DOUGLAS HEEREMA ponders an appropriate rebuttal as student Bob Schellenberg expounds on the merits of demon rum. Students and faculty attending Thursday night's discussion decided that Hope probably couldn't hold its liquor.

Hope students, faculty debate alcohol question

The question "Should alco-holic beverages be allowed on Hope's campus?" was answered negatively in a lively debate spon-sored by Pi Kappa Delta Forensic Society Thursday.

BEFORE THE debate began Jack Hopkins, chairman of the communicat ions depar tment , told the audience that the panel was not meeting to question the re-cent Campus Life Board decision to retain the old drinking rules, but to explore the question of alcohol on campus "in the spirit of intellectual and rhetorical free-d o m . "

Arguing for the affirmative were s tudent Bob Schellenberg and chaplain William Hillegonds, and on the negative team were Dave Hill and Dr. Douglas Heer-ema, chairman of the economics depar tment .

S C H E L L E N B E R G argued three points. First, he said, alco-hol should be allowed only in dorms and cottages, not in the s tudent center. Second, the in-crease in s tudents ' rights does not mean less control over students.

"We have the proper controls on campus with the conf ron ta t ion system and the judicial board , " he said. Third, he stated that a reas-sessment of present policies was needed in view of the new age of majori ty.

Schellenberg argued that cur-rent facilities are inadequate, that there are no places in Holland to buy mixed drinks, that some people don ' t like the atmosphere of a bar, and that the college has become an enclave within the state.

BEFORE THE age of majority was changed, the college hand-book stated tha t the college up-holds the state laws on alcohol, Schellenberg said. "Hope College is quick to uphold the laws of the land as long as they are in the college's in teres t ," he added.

Dave Hill, arguing the negative, quoted statistics and reports which allegedly showed a relation-ship between drinkers and crimes such as murder and rape. He asserted that the majori ty of people at Hope don ' t like the a tmosphere created by student drinking.

"WE ARE HERE to learn how to be adults and that does not mean learning how to drink, but how to follow the rules," he cont inued. " O u r parents have sent us here to enliven our minds, not deaden our livers."

He also quest ioned whether al-coholic beverages have any place within a Christian school and whether s tudents can handle the responsibility drinking entails. He cited damage in Kollen Hall, which he a t t r ibuted to individuals under the influence of alcohol.

CHAPLAIN HILLEGONDS ar-gued next for the affirmative. He first pointed out that the major sin of a Christian communi ty is hypocrisy. Hillegonds said, " T h e

present college policy is highly suspect. . . A rule which is er-ratically enforced and shows a hypocrit ical stance ought to go ."

Hillegonds also stated that stu-dents should have the option of drinking on campus. He also ex-pressed a belief that on-campus s tudents should have the same rights as those off-campus. "Man has the right to set the tone in his own house, but not in o thers ' , " he concluded.

HEEREMA ASKED that the drinkers on campus make a small sacrifice and walk the two blocks to the bars. " T h e issue is one of respect for o ther people ," he said. He said he felt that drinking is messy and creates an atmosphere unsuitable for maintaining good habits.

Heerema went on to question the reason for debating the drink-ing issue when more important problems such as Vietnam, the West Coast dock strike, and Bangla Desh are not solved.

WHEN ASKED why he was present despite his objections to considering the issue, he replied, " I 'm here because I 'm avoiding an address which is even more ridicu-lous than this one . "

In order to give you th "a larger voice in bo th the Presidential se-lection process and in the internal a f fa i rs" of the political parties, the Michigan You th Politics Insti-tute is sponsoring a statewide con-ference March 11 in East Lansing.

The conference is also spon-sored by the Michigan Youth Cau-cus.

ACCORDING TO a newsletter f rom the Inst i tute, the primary purpose of the conference is to provide you th with compre-hensive training in the dynamics of running for precinct delegate.

The recently passed Michigan presidential primary bill provides for a special precinct delegate election May 16.

"YOU C A N T afford not to run for precinct delegate," states an Inst i tute brochure. The bro-chure also points out that Michi-gan abounds in precinct delegate slots for which no one runs.

The pamphlet also says that because of the new enfranchise-

head appointed Mrs. Myra Zuverink has been

appointed director of Hope's new Career Planning and Placement Center .

The new center merges the services of the former teacher placement and vocational place-ment offices and will provide an expanded program of assistance to Hope students in career choice and planning according to dean of s tudents Robert DeYoung.

The center will provide a cen-tralized point for disseminating information to students about em-ployment opportunit ies , provide career counseling and assist stu-dents in job placement.

Mrs. Zuverink, a member of the Hope staff since 1966, will continue to spend the majority of her t ime assisting Hope seniors seeking placement as elementary and secondary school teachers.

ment of 18-20-year-olds, this is youth ' s first oppor tun i ty to run for the precinct delegate posit ion.

"IT WOULD BE tragic if we didn' t take advantage of this ini-tial oppor tun i ty to enter the poli-tical process ," it states.

The conference will also in-clude workshops on voter registra-t ion, the convention system, cam-paigning and other topics germane to effective political activity.

ACCORDING TO the Insti-tute , precinct delegates serve as electors of delegates to the nation-al presidential nominating conven-tions, and a t tend the state conven-tion. At the state convention they elect candidates for l ieutenant governor, secretary of state and a t torney general.

They also elect candidates for the state board of education, state Supreme Court justices, and mem-bers of the boards of trustees of the University of Michigan, Michi-gan State University and Wayne State University.

PRECINCT delegates are also responsible to elect both the state

officers and state central commit-tee of their party. Those who a t tend the state convent ion "wi th an activist a t t i tude" will have the oppor tun i ty to influence bo th p la t form issues and candidate choices, the brochure states.

The Insti tute 's brochure also lists the procedure for running for the precinct delegate position. The candidate should first obtain a pet i t ion f rom his county clerk and a map f rom his city or town-ship clerk.

HE SHOULD then coUect 20 signatures, have his pet i t ion nota-rized and return it to the county clerk by March 24. The Inst i tute then urges the candidate to talk personally with his neighbors a few days before the election.

"Tell them why you feel it is impor tant to have youth repre-sented in your party, and stress the importance of the precinct delegate in the presidential selec-tion process," the brochure says.

Finally, on election day, the candidate is to call his supporters to remind them to vote.

Hope to offer Black Experience Day Fri.

A Black Experience Day will be held this Friday on cam-pus. The program, sponsored by the admissions office, was planned in order to bring black high school students f rom Chicago and wes-tern Michigan to Hope.

"We are hoping that the pro-gram will bring black s tudents to the campus to give them a more realistic picture of what college life is really like," said dean of s tudents Robert DeYoung.

"We are doing this for all stu-dents, but we feel there is a special need to p romote Hope among black s tudents ," he added.

There will be 150 students at tending, 40 of whom have en-rolled for next year, according to assistant director of admissions Phil Toppen.

"When the visitors arrive here Friday, Hope's black s tudents will act as their hosts and hostesses by taking them to classes, helping them meet professors, other stu-dents and so on ," DeYoung said.

The activities will begin at 1:30 when admissions, financial aid and courses will be discussed. The group will then move to the black house where an informal discus-sion will be held, DeYoung indi-cated.

Survey shows few new voters enroll in school

New York's Interaction Trio,

chamber musicians, to perform

(CPS) Only 6.5 million of the estimated 25 million new voters a t tend college, says a recent Cen-sus Bureau report .

THE OVERWHELMING ma-jor i ty , 70 percent , of the 18-to-24 year olds are not enrolled in school. Of the 30 percent enrolled in school, 26 percent attend col-lege.

According to the report . Char-acteristics of New Voters: 1972, the typical young person voting for the first t ime in the Presiden-tial election of 1972 will be white, single, living in a family, not going to school but a high school gradu-ate, holding a job , and living in a metropoli tan area.

THE 18-TO-24 year old is like-ly to be in the labor force, says the report . Most recent figures show 63 percent of the men were in the labor force and not in school, and four percent were neither in the labor force nor in school. For women, 47 percent were in the labor force and not in school, and 30 percent - primarily house-wives - were not in the labor force and not at tending school.

The majori ty (66 percent) of the 18-to-24 year olds were living in metropol i tan areas - 30 per-

cent in central cities, 35 percent in suburbs, and the rest in non-metropoli tan areas. This group is quite mobile the report notes. Between March 1969 and March 1970, 36 percent had changed addresses, including 14 percent who migrated to a different county and 7 percent to another state

HOW MANY of these new voters will take part in the 1972 elections is, of course, unknown. However, the Census Bureau points to the fact that in the 1968 Presidential election, only 33 per-cent of those 18-to-20 who lived in states where they were eligible said they voted.

In all states, 51 percent of the 21-to-24 year olds said they voted, compared with 70 percent of those 25 and older.

Even with the large number of new young voters, the report notes, the median age of the electorate in November 1972 will be 43 years.

On the election In a run-off election Friday Greg Pon-

tier was voted president of Student Con-gress for next year. Though perhaps not a surprise to most students, Pontier's victory does indicate some rather unexpected ten-dencies on the part of Hope's student body. First, students were willing to over-look his greatest handicap, his lack of experience, in favor of his liberal phil-osophy and voice of progressive reform.

Second, students are finally becoming disillusioned with the stereotyped big man on campus, frat man, all-around Mr. Popu-larity w h o only runs for Student Congress

posts because he wants to perpetuate the myth on which he was nurtured in high school - that winning an election to student government is an essential criterion of high social status.

Finally, Hope students, at least those who voted for Pontier. are fed up with an ineffective Student Congress which must always take a back seat to the administra-tion and board of trustees and which represents the majority of students and their interests only nominal ly. Pontier, in spite of his inexperience, has come forward as a vanguard of those students.

In his pre-election interview, Pontier stated, "Look ing at the Student Congress

of this year I found that it had accom-plished very f e w of the things that I felt should have been d o n e . . . In order to ef fect changes on campus the Student Congress must have more power and this is something that I will push very hard to get." Pontier has a titanic task before him. This task, however, will be well worth the effort if it can be accomplished. And in order for it to be accomplished, several

things are essential. First, Pontier must recognize his own

handicap and work to overcome it. While there is no substitute for the experience Pontier lacks, he can at least familiarize himself w i th the present community gov-ernment system which Hope employs.

Second, he should know exactly what he would like to do next year, and what changes he would like to see effected on Hope's campus. The interview printed in last week's anchor indicates that Pontier has already accomplished this step.

Finally, Pontier should seriously con-sider overhauling the present Student Con-gress. Reform is necessary if Congress is to succeed in init iating and implementing much-needed changes such as coed hous-ing, open guest hours, revision of the alcohol regulations, minor i ty studies and counseling, and curr iculum reform.

Such changes can be made if someone is wil l ing to take the thought and ef for t required. We hope the new president is the man.

The minorities dilemma

The Campus Life Board's resumption of discussion on the problems of minori ty students and the report in this issue con-cerning the progress of minor i ty admission have again brought into focus the complex questions surrounding the role of minori ty students at Hope.

During the CLB proceedings various suggestions were made: that an outside consultant be hired " t o study the minori ty situation in depth," that the college hire a black woman to counsel students on social and academic matters; that the whole issue centers around the need for att i tude changes on the part of the WASP members of the

college communi ty . The admissions report provides further

documentation of the close connection between problems faced by minori ty stu-dents on campus and diff icult ies in re-cruit ing minori ty students. Hope's lack of special minor i ty programs and supportive services is a major reason for its failure to attract minor i ty group members, especially

blacks. The reluctance of minor i ty students to

enroll in a school that does not really meet

their needs thus makes it increasingly clear that Hope must seek out the logical impli-cations of its professed desire to accom-modate minor i ty students. If the desire is sincere, preparation for a comprehensive minorities program should begin.

However, the inconclusive CLB discus-sions reveal that the college lacks the essential precondit ion for such a program: a real understanding of the major problems minori ty students encounter at Hope. Per-haps the CLB should exercise its propen-sity for forming committees by creating a group to study the situation thoroughly; perhaps a consultant should be hired to study the matter, as Dr. Marker suggested. In any case, the acknowledged problems

should be more clearly defined. In the meantime, such stop-gap mea-

sures as part-time academic and social counselors may be beneficial. However, they must soon become part of a more substantial program, for by themselves they only help the student to cope with the college; they don' t change the college to make the minor i ty student a needed

part of it.

kingdom of fair and blonde people. But lo and behold, an ominous and foreboding cloud foreclosed a peculiar briney smell of pickled draught.

In this kingdom, a new king had been proclaimed throughout the land by the higher nobility, yet his tyranny had already been perceived. The people waited until the blossoming months when he was to come.

Meanwhile the Dark Rider, Duke of the Castle Van Raalte, had been at work preparing evil concoctions. He had ar-ranged for all twenty knights to come to the Round Table to discuss his forth-coming plans. The serfs throughout the land had no knowledge of the summoning of the knights.

Earlier at meetings of the All Allied Board, they had held parley with the Dark Rider, but unfortunately the sinsiter one now held meetings in secret. No serf was allowed at the Table of the Twenty Knights, and they had n o idea of what happened at the meetings.

In t r u t h , t he AAB would indeed see the proposal , but only af te r the Knights had passed and given their suppor t to the evil power of the Dark Rider. Great zounds , what is happen ing in this k ingdom?!! !

Coeds beware Women of Hope, beware! Yes, you say

you know all the salesmen's pitches and you'll never fall for t h e m - 1 did too! However, you can catch all the salesmen's trick phrases and false promises and still get sucked in.

Hope usually gets a salesman or two every semester who gets the name of a girl on campus, asking her to sponsor a house-hold party. He offers door prizes, specials, and a beautiful display of goods all in a very hypnotic manner.

He doesn't allow you to leave the room before y o u decide about his "great offer," but once out of the room it doesn't take you long to realize what you have done-- y o u can't believe you signed the contract.

The best precaution is not to go at all, no matter h o w strong you think you are. There are many of these "parties," for example Sarah Coventry, Tupperware, and Classic Crafts. So next time y o u are invited to something like this, say to the person, " N o thanks, I've been warned."

Whether President Nixon p lanned it or n o t , his trip t o China has created an elite White House press corps tha t has split the cor responden t s in Washington asunder .

BY CHOOSING 87 TV c o m m e n t a t o r s , technicians, newspape rmen and columnis ts ou t of 2 ,000 appl icants , Mr. Nixon has confer red the nearest thing to kn igh thood on the cor responden t s making the tr ip.

For the past week the White House press room has been divided be tween those who got their cholera shots and those who d idn ' t .

" T H E RED CHINA Lobby C r o w d , " as they are bi t ter ly referred to by the newspa-permen who aren ' t going, were easy to ident i fy because they kept waving the Little Red Books of Mao Tse-tung during last week's press briefings.

They also could be f o u n d in the Execu-tive Off ice Building cafeter ia eat ing their chili and beans with chops t icks .

IN F A I R N E S S T O T H E Red China Lobby Crowd, they tried to keep a low profi le once the list of those who would accompany President Nixon was posted. Many went out of their way to be nice to those who hadn ' t been chosen. One of them gave ou t free f o r t u n e cookies during Henry Kissinger's briefings. Ano the r served jasmine tea during a poke r game in the lounge. Others handed out bowls of rice to their news-hungry fe l low cor respondents .

But despite this o u t w a r d display of f r iendship, there was a feeling on the part of those who weren ' t going with President Nixon that the Red China Lobby Crowd was patronizing t h e m .

T H E R E WAS N O T H I N G anyone could put his finger on, bu t there were little things that added up . One cor respondent w h o was making the t r ip refused to take off his qui l ted Mao jacke t in the press r o o m . Ano the r had his n a m e in Chinese plastered on his por tab le typewr i t e r , and still ano ther man kept referr ing t o those

who weren ' t going as "counter- revolu-t ionar ies ."

Adding insult t o in jury , the 87 elitists did exercises every morning in f ron t of a por t ra i t of Mao on the White House lawn. This was fo l lowed by a 10-mile swim d o w n the Po tomac , where they shou ted slogans of suppor t fo r the Cul tural Revolut ion.

AS IF THIS W E R E N ' T enough, some of the Red China Lobby Crowd started t o confess their sins publicly in f r o n t of Ron Ziegler and asked to be sent to state fa rms a f te r their trip so they could be "rehabili-t a t e d . "

One White House cor respondent who had been tu rned d o w n said, "1 don ' t give a damn how the elitists behave now. But it 's when they come back f r o m the trip tha t they ' l l be insufferable . A f t e r eight days in China they ' l l all be exper ts , and God help us when they s tar t spinning thei r tales of what happened to them when they visited a tire f ac to ry in Peking ."

A N O T H E R D I S G R U N T L E D White House co r re sponden t said, "I can just hear f u t u r e White House briefings when every quest ion by the elitists will be preceded by ' R o n , when Chou Fn-lai told us . . .' or 'As you recall, Ron , you denied in Shang-hai . .

It is obvious tha t the White House press room will never be the same again. By making his tr ip t o China, Mr. Nixon has been able to des t roy the morale of the press corps forever . Using divide-and-conquer tactics, he has managed to tu rn b ro ther co r re sponden t against b ro ther .

When the elit ists re tu rn f r o m their t r ip and start talking d o w n t o those who d i d n ' t go, there could be a lot of b lood spilled on the White House press lounge f loor. T h e President may no t have resolved his diplo-matic problems by going to Peking, bu t he has put the men covering him at the White House in disarray and t ha t , as Vice Presi-dent Agnew would agree, is wor th all the tea in China.

anchor review

''Note-Books of Tchekhov9: a tribute to simplicity Editor's note: This week's anchor review is written by critiques edi-tor Kay Hubbard. She reviews The Note-Books of Anton Tchekhov together with Reminiscences of Tchekhov by Maxim Gorky, trans-lated by S. S. Koteliansky and Leonard Woolf (The Hogarth Press, $ 4 . 9 5 ) .

" In f r o n t of that dreary, grey crowd of helpless people there passed a great , wise, and observant man ; he looked at all these dreary inhab i tan t s of his coun t ry , and, with a sad smile, with a tone of gentle but deep reproach, with anguish in his face and in his heart , in a beaut i fu l and sincere voice, he said to them;

'You live badly, my fr iends. It is shamefu l to live like t h a t . ' "

Thus Maxim Gorky character-izes the art of An ton Tchekhov . The Reminiscences are a fond t r ibute to one of Russia's fore-most writers. No biographical data is inc luded; brief m o m e n t s are recalled instead. Tchekhov is re-membered as a man w h o always wanted people to talk about what they knew, no t what they though t might interest a great wri ter .

G O R K Y R E C O U N T S the visit of a poor teacher who tried to impress Tchekhov with his philo-sophica l in te rpre ta t ion of exis-tence. Tchekhov asked abou t a teacher he had heard was beat ing children in the visitor 's district . Suddenly all of the u n c o m f o r -tably complex words d ropped f rom the man ' s vocabulary and he began, with great sincerity to ex-plain the s i tuat ion about which Tchekhov asked. Leaving, the man said, " I wanted to show you that 1 wps no ordinary mortal . . . and I 'm leaving you as a nice, close

fr iend who under s t ands every-th ing ."

Gorky no tes tha t in An ton Tchekhov ' s presence "eve ryone involuntari ly felt in himself a de-sire to be simpler, more t r u t h f u l , more h imsel f . "

IT WAS IN those simple, hones t , o f t e n banal everyday inci-dents that Tchekhov f o u n d the material fo r his writing. His jour-nals are filled with observat ions, not of ear th-shaking political or spiritual crises, bu t of personal, even trivial, absurdi t ies in human existence.

Tchekhov des t royed all of the d ra f t s once he f inished a piece of writing, so the Note-Books are brief sketches and ideas fo r things Tchekhov never f ound t ime to develop. Some of them make the reader wish Tchekhov had lived forever. One example is a sketch for a short s tory.

" Z . G O E S to a doc to r , who examines him and f inds tha t he is suffer ing f r o m hear t disease, and all t he doc tors w h o m he regularly consul ts say tha t he has heart disease.

" H e does not marry, gives up a m a t e u r theatr icals , does not dr ink, and when he walks does so slowly and hardly breathes .

" E L E V E N Y E A R S later he has to go to Moscow, and there he consul ts a specialist. The lat ter f inds that his hear t is perfect ly sound . A. is over joyed , bu t he can no longer re turn to a normal life, for he has got accus tomed to going to bed early and to walking slowly, and he is bored if he canno t speak of his disease. The only result is tha t he gets to hate doc tors - that is a l l ."

The Note-Books are full of pi thy and o f t en very wise observa-

t ions on human triviality. Because the ideas are no t ful ly developed, the reader f inds many inconsis-tencies and tr i te images. This only serves to make Tchekhov himself more absurdly and endearingly h u m a n . He writes, " T o d a y I can only make feeble speeches; it means that I am gett ing o l d . "

T C H E K H O V ^ interest is clear-ly with h o w people live ra ther than why they live as they do. The Note-Books are observat ions of human behavior ra ther than critical analyses of mot iva t ion .

Even when the observat ions are absolutely devastating, Tchekhov never loses his sense of s y m p a t h y

and compass ion. One r emembers tha t he called his plays comedies even when they dealt wi th people t rapped in hopeless, e m p t y dream worlds.

THE STYLE of the Note-Books, as with most of Tchek-hov's writing, is one of unders ta te-ment . He never explains f o r the reader the significance (or insigni-f icance) of the action of his sketches. He lets the act ions speak for themselves.

One is reminded that Tchekhov did not like his plays to be crowded with wordy philosoph-ical treatises. He stressed the im-por tance of the m o m e n t s when noth ing was happening on stage.

" W H E R E A R E the sUences?" he asked Cons tan t in Stanislavsky, who directed many of Tchekhov ' s plays at t he Moscow Art Theater . " T h e y are i m p o r t a n t . "

The Kotel iansky and Woolf t ranslat ion is simple and direct, preserving the graceful , delicate quali t ies f o u n d in the best trans-lat ions of Tchekhov ' s prose and drama.

THE NOTE-BOOKS reveal a man who saw life 's absurdi t ies and felt it necessary to smile. As he wrote: "I f you would be an op-timist, I advise you to observe life and par take of it. Even in its ugliest momen t s , life has the ma-terial of h o p e . "

W S / ? § p e e o p d p e v i e w Edi tor ' s no te : This week 's WTAS record review is wri t ten by stat ion music di rector Bud T h o m p s o n . He reviews " P e t e r " by Peter Yar row on Warner Bros. Records.

First , there was " M a r y . " Then there was "Paul A n d . " Now there is " P e t e r . " Put them all toge ther and you get "Mary, Paul and Pe t e r " which is you -know-who backwards .

IT WAS a sad thing when Peter, Paul and Mary broke up. They had taken a large part in shaping modern folk music. Their songs were and still are played endlessly by aspiring folk singers who long for that g roup ' s great-ness bu t only have their songs.

Greatness comes f r o m the art-ist and the individual talent of Peter, Paul and Mary is what made them a legend when they sang together . Now they ' r e singing alone.

W H E N L I S T E N I N G to " P e t e r , " one can sense a lot of P, P and M style. Maybe it works the o ther way a round , enabling us to sense more of Peter when listening to past P, P and M albums. " G o o d b y e Josh , " a t r ibu te to Josh White, reminds one very strongly of "King Of N a m e s " f r o m the "Peter , Paul and Mary A l b u m . " But there are also new things, new styles.

T H E OPENING CUT on the a lbum is "River Of J o r d a n , " a gospel folk-rock t une wi th back-ing vocals by Lazarus. (Lazarus is

a group Peter discovered and helped on their first record. If you can get a hold of a Lazarus a lbum, do.)

"Mary Be th" is a song to his wife; "P la to S o n g " is taken f rom a poem by Pla to; " G r e e n w o o d " is the musical adap ta t ion of a verse f rom Luke 23. All these are things P, P and M might have done, yet they all say " P e t e r , " as does the a lbum cover.

THE ALBUM cover says some things abou t Yar row also. The inside cover pictures him playing to a vast hall which is empty except for a baby seated in the middle of the f loor .

Under "Specia l T h a n k s " he lists, among others , Mary Beth Yarrow and Noel S tookey (Paul 's real name) . Yet the most striking thing is tha t in the lower left hand corner , in very small pr int , the words "Regis ter to vo t e . " Here is a man who cares.

" P E T E R " IS a simple thing. F r o m the cover t o the songs t o the feelings beh ind the songs. There ' s a lot of beau ty in simpli-city and here y o u have it. Sepa-rately Peter , Paul and Mary are carrying on the greatness they created. It a lmost seems as if they were still toge ther .

I suppose a f t e r more than 10 years it would be hard f o r them to take a clean break. And w h o would want t h e m to. As long as t h e y tu rn ou t a lbums like " P e t e r , " w h o can help bu t smile.

If the major i ty of leftist intellectuals in the U.S. are correct in suggesting tha t revolut ionary political action must begin f rom the ground up, must organize cohesive work-based collectives th roughout the coun t ry , then the Black Panther Party is the only au then t ic revolut ionary group in amerika today.

THE PARTY IS C R E A T I N G "an t i - sys tems" in the major cities. In order to unders tand this concept , it is first necessary to broadly ident i fy the " s y s t e m . " The technological ly organized s t ruc ture of amerikan society is based on the " e t h i c " of the funct iona l i ty of the individual.

The system creates j obs and needs individuals to fill t hem. The system creates p roduc t s and needs individuals to consume them. The system creates leisure t ime and needs individuals to fill that t ime. For the system, these are ends in themselves.

ANY L A R G E NUMBER OF local groups, all dedicated to the improvement of the community and the goal of group solidarity as ends in them-selves, are, taken as a whole , a potent ial ly revolu-t ionary force.

The groups represent the possibility for an "an t i - sys tem," founded primarily on the value of c o m m u n i t y rather than of the individual. They need not share the same ideological assumptions, and the latrer are not first and fo remos t what makes them a c o m m u n i t y . Who are " t h e y " ?

THEY ARE NOT T H E CLASS of unionized labor, despite old Marxist claims. They are not the class of professionals, despite Marcuse's idealism. Unionism and professionalism are aimed at the be t te rment of the economic s ta tus of the employed individual - group sol idari ty, if not just appearance, is secondary to this aim. Insofar as this is t rue, these two groups are in the sys tem, are welcomed by the system, func t ion according to the sys tem, profi t by the system.

Granted the number of dissident professionals (usually educators ) and dissatisfied workers (usually non-unionized) who are outs ide the sys tem, for the most part it can be said that when the contradic-tions within the system reach the highly explosive level, the members of these t w o groups will be on the side of the government , i.e., of fascism.

T H O U S A N D S OF CHINESE villages became guerilla bases virtually overnight during the Revolu-tion because Communis t leaders were able to appeal to the c o m m o n values and c o m m o n enemy of the peasants. Ideology came later. The N.L.F. has used this example , and it has enabled t hem to c o m m a n d the suppor t of the Vie tnamese wherever they are, including South Vie tnam ( thereby precluding, I should add, a U.S. or South Vietnamese victory).

What peoples in the U.S. parallel the villagers of Indo-China? The poor peoples , and in particular, the poor people of color, unemployed and poor workers alike. In a system based on the " e t h i c " of func-tionali ty by which o p t i m u m produc t ion and prof i t condi t ions can only be met by the exclusion of a number of people f r o m the means of p roduc t ion , the poor are the "useless ," as Franz Schurmann calls t hem, and these "use less" are the new revolut ionary class

NOW THINK OF amer ika ' s large cities, where blacks are increasingly the major i ty , as guerilla

bases. There are the Black Panthers today , not in "a rmed struggle" but dedicated to the creation of an anti-system (not a white-radical "coun te r -ins t i tu t ion" which Huey Newton says is escapist) based on class solidarity pre-existent among poor blacks (see this week's Ramparts).

Under tne leadership of Newton and Bobby Seale, "survival p rograms" are taking shape in some cities, providing free food ( " f o o d bags" and the t radi t ional Party breakfast program), free clothing (shoe factories in part icular are underway) , free medical care (especially the tracing down of sickle cell sufferers or carriers) f ree busing, etc.

THESE PROGRAMS ARE possible primarily because of cont r ibu t ions forced ou t of black busi-nessmen - who find themselves in a precarious posi t ion! - by the Black Panther Party (You are either with us or against us). Jobs are being taken over natural ly; but we should subs t i tu te for " j o b ho lders" the term " c o m m u n i t y workers ."

The Panther program is revolut ionary - geared to heighten the internal cont rad ic t ion of amerikan society. Seale: "We tell the people that the poli-ticians tell them things and lie. . . but we are the only vehicle of the people . "

THIS PROGRAM IS OF COURSE outs ide the "rules of the game" set d o w n by capitalist- techno-logical society, i.e., outs ide the hierarchical power s t ructure .

As they prosper and grow in a number of cities, the programs become a threat , the cont radic t ions reach their peak ( the government is not helped much by its suppor t of right-wing regimes against Third-world peoples), and active repression becomes the s ta te ' s answer. Thus, the Black Panthers are prepared for armed struggle, instead of artificially inducing it when the t ime is not right.

T H E R E ARE STILL MANY critical quest ions to be asked of the Panther program (Are the Panthers always the "vehic le" of the people? Will the Panther doctr ine of the "sc ient i f ic inevi tabi l i ty" of armed struggle eventually pave the way for the senseless adventurism which character ized the old Panthers?).

Nevertheless, the Party has cap tu red , it seems to me, the meaning of revolut ion more than any group in this count ry . Oglesby calls it " revolu t ionary r e fo rmism." Indeed, in certain aspects of its appear-ance the Panther program looks reformis t . Newton and Seale admit this - it is part of a strategy (a new strategy, by the way, which avoids cul tural " j ive." This should be disappoint ing to many , I imagine). When pushed to this fu r thes t ex ten t of seeming reformis t , political ac t ion becomes revolut ionary.

The structure has only a finite capacity for change. It cannot incorpora te a con t rad ic to ry sys-tem - this would be s y n o n y m o u s with the ruling class sacrificing its power and wealth.

One quest ion should be considered: can all this happen without the involvement of white radicals? I d o n ' t think so. The Black Panthers have explicitly s tated that they are willing to col laborate with white radicals if the la t ter are only willing to finally organize, a talent which they have most o f t en lacked. The response of the revitalized S.D.S. and o ther groups is now of major impor tance .

The Eastern trip by Steve Wykstra

Hope faculty salaries, fringe benefits improve

"Ginsberg, he ended up a-dryin ' so he took a trip out E a s t . .

- D o n o v a n (Sunny South Kensington)

Donovan chooses a peculiar and striking phrase to characterize what prodded Allen Ginsberg to seek out the wisdom of the East. He says " h e ended up a-dryin ' ." The phrase, with its ring of perception, calls us to examine a trend in our culture, perhaps in our very selves, which is t oo persistent and close to home for us to be careless in understanding. The trend is the yen for the Eastern Trip.

THE PHILOSOPHICAL, cultural , and spiritual factors behind this trend are too complex and diverse to explore here. Also, I do not pretend to have a responsible, critical knowledge of the myriad facets of the many "Ways" falling under the general term "Eastern thought . "

Instead, 1 chose Donovan's line as a starting point . His phrase indicates the kind of factor I want to draw at tent ion to as one root of many an Eastern Trip. This is the personal factor .

THE QUESTION I INVITE you to consider is: What are the personal elements in our lives which give rise to the lure which Eastern wisdom (or folly, as the case may be) of ten has for many of us?

Admit tedly , this question is not sufficient in itself to guide any choice of a "spiritual frame-work ." It is insufficient because it is basically introspective: It is concerned with the "searcher ," rather than with the appraisal of the alternatives one would have to explore in trying to " f ind one's way." But insufficient as it is, I believe more and more it is a necessary preliminary.

IT IS NECESSARY because sooner or later one is conf ron ted with the task of evaluating the various possibilities, and this immediately poses the ques-tion: By what criteria are they to be evaluated? At least one such criteria is that of personal, pragmatic worth: Does commit tment to one "Way" do what you expect it to do, bet ter than any of the alternatives?

The articulation of our initially vague "expecta-t ions," whose practical satisfaction or frustrat ion is one impor tan t test of our commitments , thus seems to be a necessary precondit ion for finding our religious way.

THE SAME KIND OF consideration would hold for the evaluation of commi tments which, though not commonly called "spir i tual ," are in a very basic and broad sense religious commitments , livery man's life is ordered around commi tmen t s regarding what, in life, is " w o r t h y " of his commi tmen t .

The most sensual, atheistic hedonist , or the most Ayn Rand-ian self-server, has thus made a religious commi tment in this sense. And this commitment is made on the basis of certain expectat ions which the hedonist (or Zen Buddhist, or Marxist, or Christian) anticipates his commitment will satisfy bet ter than any other .

HE MAY NOT REFLECT on these expecta t ions; he may not articulate them; he may be self-deceived

about them. He may, in short , make these commit -ments unconsciously and blindly. But the commi t -ments, the expectat ions , and their funct ional ly religious nature are yet there.

What, then, are these personal elements which give the Eastern Trip its peculiar lure?

CERTAINLY I CANNOT answer this quest ion for any of you. It is hard enough to answer it fo r one's self. And this, of course, is all I can d o - a s a person who once had some involvement in an Eastern Trip of sorts, with some supposedly psyche-delic shortcuts .

I suggest one factor here, not to pretend to be " o n e u p " on anybody . I do it because I have become increasingly aware of one fac tor which has lured myself and others, which no one is immune to, and which strikes me as being a particularly dangerous force on our "rel igious" commitments , in the very broadest and most basic sense, whatever they might be.

PUT B R I E F L Y - p e r h a p s to the point of cliche the force is our need for a sense of ident i ty . But it is more specific than this; 1 do not think the need for a sense of identi ty is in itself a dangerous force, not even as an element in our religious commi tmen t s . Then under what condit ions might it be dangerous?

It becomes dangerous when it is not recognized for what it is, and when it drives us blindly to find identi ty in commi tmen t s which give us a "self-image." This self-image compulsively boxes us in, and prevents us f rom relating to others in ways which aid the growth of real identi ty.

CONSIDER, FOR EXAMPLE, the real Herman Hesse freak. Hesse portrays, again and again in his novels, images of the "searcher ," and ult imately the searcher becomes more impor tan t than anything he might ever have been searching for.

It is a t rap into which we are all t oo prone to fall; we become so enamoured of our questions, and the fact that it is we who are asking them, that we wouldn ' t recognize an answer, or want it, if we woke up one morning with it staring us in the face.

THIS SORT OF " L U R E , " this sort of expecta-tion, loses some of its dangerous compulsiveness when it is recognized for what it is. With slight variations, it can infect almost any kind of commit-ment, and it can be seen in the popular movement of existentialism, leftist radicalism, the Jesus move-ment in its ex t reme phases, as well as in many an Eastern trip.

Certainly, its presence is not itself an argument against the viability of any of the " f r a m e w o r k s " which are potent ial lures to " t rue believers" with this kind of motive.

IT IS RATHER a call to maturi ty , to avoid being driven to commi tmen t s by compulsive factors which trap us into finding our meaning in the fact that we are the commit ted ones, rather than in the object of our commi tmen t .

There is, at times, nothing less at stake than our lives.

"He who seeks to save his life will lose it, He who loses his life, for my sake, will find i t . "

Not only have Hope ' s s tudent enrollment and tui t ion increased over the past five years, but the size of its facul ty, their salaries and fringe benefi ts have increased as well, according to some re-cently released statistics.

THE FIGURES also shed light on changes in the college's total operating budget, a m o u n t s of cap-ital gifts and endowments , and the number of volumes in the library.

In 1966 the s tudent body num-bered 1777 and tu i t ion amounted to $1050, the figures reveal. This year enrol lment is up to 2101 and tuition has climbed to $1770.

THE SIZE OF the faculty has expanded f rom 90 five years ago to a full t ime staff of 148. Sixty-three percent of the faculty pre-sently hold doctorates , whereas only 46 percent were Fh.D. 's five years ago.

Perhaps some of the most in-teresting revelations concern fac-ulty salaries and fringe benefits. In 1966 the average Hope faculty member brought home nearly $8, 750. Today he earns about $11,260.

Total faculty salries are up from $788 ,000 to $1 ,587 ,650 .

A NON-FUNDED ret irement program and major medical insur-ance with $500 deductible were the only faculty fringe benefi ts five years ago. Today, however, faculty members are provided with a funded ret irement pro-gram, major medical insurance with $100 deductible, and hos-pital insurance.

In addit ion, they are entitled to free tuit ion for any of their children at tending Hope, and sab-batical leaves with salary.

TWENTY PERCENT of the college's operating budget is de-rived f rom contr ibut ions , grants, endowments and other sources. This year 's operating budget is approximately $5.7 million, as compared to $3.8 in 1966-67, the figures indicate.

Whereas endowments have in-creased by only about $266,000, to their present $2,267,000, cap-ital gifts have soared f rom $183,717 five years ago to

EVEN THE library has not been left behind in Hope's most recent growth surge. Possessing a mere 97 o 000 books in 1966, the library now boasts 140,000 vol-umes.

The reasons for Hope 's physi-cal growth and financial success are probably best explained in a special article about the college which appeared last month in The Christian Science Monitor.

"AT A TIME when other pri-vate colleges are tightening their belts ," Hope is operating in the black, the article s tated, crediting Hope's relatively unique financial success to executive vice president Clarence Handlogten.

Since Handlogten came to Hope in 1966, the article said, the college has climbed steadily out of the red and now operates on a balanced budget. It also has erased a $285 ,000 deficit in less than three years.

THE ARTICLE reported that when Handlogten first came to Hope f rom his industrial back-ground, the primary problem of the college was that it "had not been basing its fiscal policies on economic planning."

Handlogten, the article con-tinued, " in t roduced the concept of a 10-year forecast, with all of the college depar tments being held within their budgets, as is the practice in business."

"A college is a business," Handlogten is quoted as saying. "Tight controls are necessary."

Choir to present

February 28, 1972 Hope College anchor Seven

AAB okays new courses for seven departments by Molly Gates

The Academic Affairs Board approved new course offerings for seven different depar tments Fri-day. Their decisions resulted in six courses dropped f rom the curric-ulum and seven courses added.

PHILOSOPHY 54, Oriental Philosophies, will replace current philosophy courses 54, 55 and 56, History of Chinese Thought 1 and II and Philosophies of India. Ori-ental Philosophies will incorporate the material of the three deleted courses.

The philosophy depar tment will also drop Philosophy 74, Phil-osophy of the Social Sciences, and change the current Philosophy 73, Philosophy of the Natural Sci-ences, to Philosophy of Science.

THE NEW Philosophy 73 will incorporate both the social sci-ences and the natural sciences. Arthur Jentz, professor of phil-osophy, said the combinat ion was necessary for the depar tment to continue teaching both areas of philosophy.

The art department was granted a new upper level course entitled Contemporary Art Move-ments. A second art depar tment proposal was not passed by the board. It called for a lower divi-sion studio course called Prin-ciples of Photographic Art.

THE BOARD'S discussion cen-tered on the role of a skill-oriented course in a liberal arts college. Jentz pointed out that the

meetings Thurs. The Ministry of Christ 's People

is sponsoring the first in a series of fellowship gatherings Thursday at 8 :30 in the ballroom of the De Witt Cultural Center.

Designed to improve communi-cation and unity within the MOCP itself, the gatherings will also at-tempt to p romote fellowship and create an awareness of MOCP's goals, activities, and needs con-cerning the entire Hope College communi ty , according to partici-pant Mark Convoy.

Guest speaker Thursday night will be Norman J. Kansfield, li-brarian at Western Theological Seminary. All interested people are invited to a t tend.

curriculum commi t tee has been faced with a cont inuous contro-versy over "how-to-do- i t" courses.

He said that the question "comes down to just what kind of an educat ion does Hope want to offer and is this type of course the answer to that ques t ion ."

JOHN HOLLENBACH, profes-sor of English, suggested that there is presently a balance be-tween skill-oriented courses and the liberal arts educational con-cern for discovering the nature of t ruth and value.

"By concerning ourselves with developing certain professional skills, we're moving away from that balance," he said.

JAMES REYN1ERSE, associ-ate professor of psychology, com-mented, "This is based on a false d ichotomy. We can't divide courses into two categories. Every course we offer contains 'how-to-do-it ' al ternatives."

After much discussion, board chairman Dr. Irwin Brink deferred action on the course, Principles of Photographic Art, until a later meeting. The board also agreed to discuss the skill versus liberal arts courses issue at another meeting.

IT WAS AGREED to move IDS 71, Christianity and Contem-porary American Culture, to the religion depar tment and number to Religion 453. The course would then qualify as both an upper level religion course and a senior seminar.

A proposal was accepted from the communica t ion depar tment to combine Communicat ion 65, Theories of Interpersonal Com-municat ion, and Communicat ion 56, Theories of Mass Communica-tion, into Communicat ion 61, Communicat ion Theory , which would be a four hour course. The depar tment ' s rationale for this proposal was " t o streamline de-par tmental offerings, to do away with arbitrary division in the ex-isting courses, and to increase the enrollment in the single course."

THE PHYSICS depar tment will eliminate several courses f rom the curriculum and add new ones, "a t t empt ing to develop the same topics in a different mode . " Phy-sics 63, 81 and 82 will be drop-ped. The upper level courses. Physics of the Optical Domain, States of Matter, Physics of Atoms, Nuclei and Particles, Quantum Theory and Quantum Phenomena will be added.

Some of these will be taught in alternating years. A lower division course. Control and Modeling of Systems, will be added and Phy-sics 15, 16 and 18 ( in t roductory courses for non-majors) will be revised.

HOLLENBACH questioned the fragmentat ion of some of the up-per level courses proposed, but associate professor of physics Dr. Richard Brockmeier assured the board that the physics major will be able to take all of the depart-ment offerings.

In defense of the proposal he said, "These are significant areas in physics and are particularly necessary for the student going on to grad school and professional science. He is expected to be familiar with these areas of con-cent ra t ion ."

AN IDS COURSE titled Before Skinner and Beyond was ap-proved. The course is designed to give non-psychology students "an oppor tun i ty to simultaneously ac-quire a background in behavior-istic psychology while investi-gating the broader implications of these established principles for man and society," according to the course proposal.

The course is suggested for the intellectually superior student in many disciplines and consent of the inst ructor is a prerequisite. Reynierse noted that it is unlikely that this course will be taught next year.

THE BOARD AGREED to in-crease the credit hours for Math 27, In t roduct ion to Digital Com-puters, to three hours. The course is current ly offered for only two hours credit.

The two hour large group lec-ture session will be retained and a two hour per week small group

laboratory session will be added. This course expansion was deemed necessary "because of stu-dent and teacher requirements with respect to computer program preparat ion."

THE MATH depar tment ' s pro-posal for a new one hour upper level course. History of Mathe-matics, was defeated. The depart-ment had planned to drop the historical emphasis f rom Math 89 and of fer instead the one hour independent elective.

Senior Dean Gentel pointed out that a one hour course would help the student round out his schedule, but the board did not feel this was a good rationale for accepting the course. No one f rom the math department was present to defend the course.

JOHN STEWART, associate dean for academic affairs, repre-

sented the curriculum commit tee at the AAB meeting. He asked the AAB to clarify the commit tee ' s tasks. Pointing out that the cur-riculum commit tee was in a con-tinual bind, he asked, "Are we to consider courses being composed in terms of the course itself, the depar tment ' s offerings, or the en-tire curr iculum?"

Chairman Brink felt that the curriculum commit tee should con-sider proposals "in light of a total program."

Jentz and Morrette Rider, dean for academic affairs, agreed and added that the depar tments should consider their course offer-ings and proposed courses in terms of their whole programs. Reaching a general concensus, the board instructed the curriculum commit tee to examine courses in light of an overall program.

Rhonda Rivera to leave Hope at semester's end

Dr. Rhonda Rivera, assistant professor of economics, has re-signed and will leave Hope at the end of the present semester to join the staff of William James College, a division of Grand Val-ley State College.

SHE WILL serve there as as-sistant professor of economics.

Dr. Rivera joined the staff of Hope College in 1968 and has been active on the Human Rights Council, as well as serving as a t torney for Hope students at various times.

SHE INDICATED she will still be available to s tudents seeking legal assistance.

Stating that her prime reason for leaving Hope was financial. Dr. Rivera expressed regrets about leaving. "I like the students here and have enjoyed working with the faculty. I think a great deal of the type of liberal arts institution Hope is," she said.

THE ECONOMICS and busi-ness administration depar tment is now left with five i n s t ruc to r s -three economists and two special-izing in business administrat ion.

The depar tment has expressed some interest in having Dr. Rivera teach a course as a visiting profes-sor next year, but plans are still extremely tentative.

Hope trounces Lake Forest; loses to Calvin by Merlin Whiteman

This past week's basketball ac-tion saw Hope paste winless Lake Forest 81-41, and lose to arch-rival Calvin 102-89. Hope has not beaten Calvin at Knollcrest Field-house since the 1966-67 season.

THE DUTCH handed the hap-less Foresters their 22nd straight loss of the season without a win in defeating the host team 81-41. The victory evened Hope's season record at 10-10.

Hope quickly dominated the game, leading at half t ime 36-13. Lake Forest shot an incredible 11 percent f rom the floor in the first half of play. They were able to connect on only three field goals in 20 minutes of action on their home court .

SUBSTITUTION was plentiful in both halves for the visiting Dutchmen, and every Hope player pumped in at least one field goal. Doug Edema was the only Hope player to record double figures Wednesday night. The 6 ' 3 , ' for-ward f rom Byron Center scored a career high ten points to lead Hope.

Jack Hankamp collected nine points, and Marty Snoap and Jack Klunder had eight markers apiece. Hankamp had a team high 14 rebounds to lead the Dutch to a 62-31 bulge in the loose-ball col-umn.

MI A A wrestling

meet here Wed. Hope will host the Michigan

Intercollegiate Athletic Associa-tion wrestling meet Wednesday in the Holland Civic Center.

The meet will begin at 1 2 noon and continue all day, with finals starting at 7:1 5 p.m.

Hope's grapplers will go into the season-ending tournament with a 6-4 league record. Their season record is 8-5.

DAN SHINABARGER, coming into the game as only the four th man in MI A A history to break 1000 points in a career, saw limited action. He scored six points, marking one of the few times in his career he has not scored double figures.

Only one player scored double figures for Lake Forest. Freshman Ed Cochran canned 18 points to claim that distinction. In a game between these same two teams earlier in the season he accounted for 36 points.

ELSEWHERE in the M1AA Wednesday night, the Olivet Comets won their 20th straight game of the campaign, edging Alma 76-71. The win clinched the conference title for the Comets, with two games yet to be played. Last year Olivet tied with Calvin for the championship.

Playing before a large crowd in the spacious confines of Knoll-crest Fieldhouse, the Flying Dutchmen bit the dust for the second time this season against Calvin.

HOPE DUG A deep grave in the first half, one f rom which they could not escape in the second half. Despite a rally in the latter stages of the game, the Dutch could not stop Calvin f rom winning their ninth game in nine outings at home.

The contest was close during the first seven minutes of play, and the game was tied five times. However, the passing, hot-shooting, and fast-break leader-ship of former Holland Christian s tandout Art Tuls broke the game wide open in the second part of the first half.

SENIOR Calvin guard Tom Vel tkamp added 14 points to Tuls' 19, to form a f ron tcour t tandem that led the Knights to a 52-38 hal f t ime lead.

Cold shooting (27 percent) by Hope was another reason for the Dutch deficit . While the visitors

tossed in two more free throws than Calvin, their f loor perfor-mance paled next to the Knights ' 21 of 35 field goal shooting.

Shinabarger pumped in 14 points to highlight the dismal first half play of the Dutch, however.

HOPE PLAYED even with the host Knights in the second part of the tilt, outscoring Calvin 51-50. The continued torrid shooting of Calvin, and the superb play of Tuls, forestalled a rally a t t emp t by the Dutch in the closing min-utes.

Calvin opened up as much as a 17 point lead in the early going of the second half, hitting 70 percent of their f loor shots. Tuls picked up where he left off , singeing the cords for seven quick points. He ended the game with 38 points on 17 field goals and four free throws.

SHINABARGER and Marty Snoap spearheaded a rally that started with 10 minutes left in the game, and saw Hope eventually cut the Calvin lead to seven with 2:38 remaining.

However, cool shooting and turnovers stymied addit ional ef-for ts to reduce the lead.

FIVE HOPE players scored in double figures. Shinabarger led Dutch scorers with 28 points on 13 field goals and two charity tosses. This game marked the first t ime that Shinabarger has broken the 500 point barrier for a season.

The three other senior mem-bers on the team, playing their last away game and last Calvin game, each scored double figures. Snoap, Hankamp and Lorenzo Howard scored 17, 13 and 10 respectively. Junior Lee Brandsma picked up 12 points.

Tuesday at the Civic Center, Hope closes out the 1971-72 bas-ketball campaign against Kalama-zoo. A win means a .500 season; a loss would mean only the 12th losing season in Hope College bas-ketball history.

THEY MAY also part icipate in field work in drama, s tudio work in painting and sculpture, or un-dertake independent s tudy in a discipline of their choice.

The program will feature a performance and s tudy tour f rom July 31 to August 14, when stu-dents will travel to three or four small communit ies in the interior of Yugoslavia.

HERE THEY will present an American drama in a bilingual product ion, live with local fami-lies, and study customs and cul-tural accomplishments.

Hopeful ly, Fried said, the pro-gram will give s tudents fu r the r insight into the historical tradi-tions of the people in the region.

"THE FORMAT of the GLCA Dubrovnik program offers a rad-ical change f rom programs con-ducted by other American col-leges," Fried remarked. "Many of the present programs available to the American s tudent desiring ex-perience abroad closely parallel course offerings on the American campus ," he explained.

The Dubrovnik program com-bines applied theater , sculpture, and painting with language s tudy and the study of the history of the area. Fried said.

THE DIFFICULTY of coping with a new language hopeful ly

will be overcome by intensive self-training before the trip and classes in the Yugoslav language held in Cavtat, Fried said.

"We are hoping that adequate orientat ion in language and cul-ture will lead some part icipants to stay on in the count ry , s tudying there next fal l ," he added.

A COMMITTEE composed of Fried, assistant professor of his-tory Michael Petrovich, professor of English John Hollenbach, assis-tant professor of theater Donald Finn and Dr. Richard Stavig, di-rector of internat ional s tudy at Kalamazoo College, will review applicants to the program.

They will consider academic achievement and potent ia l for contr ibuting to the artistic and performance e f fo r t s of the ses-sion, Fried said.

EACH OF THE GLCA member inst i tut ions will be asked to re-commend at least one candidate recruited and screened by facul ty members who have had experi-ence in a recent GLCA facul ty seminar in Yugoslavia, Fried said.

At least six highly qualified s tudents f rom non-GLCA schools will also be invited to part icipate in the program.

The application date has been advanced f rom March 1 to March 20, Fried said. Fur ther informa-tion is available f rom the Off ice of International Educat ion, Voor-hees Hall, Room 20.
