HATFIELD NOTED, though, that American culture is "reli-gious." "America has faith in a civil religion, which includes a belief that God has blessed and chosen America as He did Israel."

" I t (civil religion) enshrined our law, order and national righ-teousness but fails to speak of repentence, salvation or national righteousness."

THE SENATOR asserted that our faith must be in the Biblical God of justice and righteousness who is revealed in Jesus Christ.

He quoted Isaiah 58:6-7. " I t is not this what I require of y o u . . . to loose the fet ters of injustice . . . to snap every yoke and set free those who have been crushed? Is it not sharing your food with the hungry, taking the homeless poor into your house,

Pike speaks to faculty; arouses much discussion

Dr.* Kenneth Pike, professor of linguistics at the University of Michigan, was the featured speak-er at a faculty meeting last Mon-day night.

PIKE WAS introduced by Pres-ident Gordon VanWylen, who reminisced about their 21 year friendship.

VanWylen also ment ioned Pike's achievement 's which in-clude the past presidency of the American Linguistics Association, the publication of three text-books, and his extensive Bible translation in connect ion with the Summer Inst i tute of Linguistics.

PIKE'S TALK focused on three major aspects of linguistics: various spiritual styles of the Bib-lical prophets, ethical problems in language and effective use of lin-guistics in the classroom.

In respect to the third topic, Pike advocated sharing personal

experiences through parables and metaphors to bridge the "commu-nication gap." He also noted " the moral obligation of insti tutions such as Hope to enforce the aims of Christianity in the classroom."

OPPOSITION on this point came f rom many faculty members including Professor of Philosophy D. Ivan Dykstra, who claimed that such a teaching approach was a form of propaganda. In voicing his object ion, Dykstra emphasized the highly persuasive power of the metaphor and parable as language forms.

Discussion and argument fol-lowed on the role of Christian instruct ion in a private vs. state school si tuation. Pike explained that such instruction in public inst i tut ions normally takes place in groups outside the classroom, citing Bible study groups as exam-ples.

the Israelites of the dangers inher-ent in setting up a king with uncontrolled powers . . . "He will take your sons and make them serve in his chariots and with his cavalry and will make them run before his chariots ."

The Oregon Republican also mentioned Christ 's mission and his message which warns against sanctifying any political establish-ment but also warns against the use of violence to institute God ' s kingdom.

The New Clinic for Women, western Michigan's first abor t ion clinic located in Grand Rapids,, opened yesterday, March-1. De-spite the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling declaring Texas 's abortion law unconst i tut ional , and the Court ' s subsequent refusal to hear the state 's appeal, Michi-gan's At torney General Frank Kel-ly declared that abort ion in Michi-gan was still illegal.

A STATE is allowed 25 days after the ruling to make the ad-jus tment and Kelly declared, "Michigan would prosecute doc-tors performing abort ions until the 25 days had expired." While Kelly delayed legalizing abort ion for nearly two weeks, a February 25 Michigan Federal District Court decision ruling has over-turned the state 's law.

Dr. Tomory , physician and di-rector of the New Clinic for Wom-en, said, " n o doctors were prose-cuted during the inter im," and "no abort ions had been per-fo rmed ," though Tomory termed Kelly's holdout "a political t r ick."

THE NEW Clinic is located on 1520 Plainfield Avenue in Grand Rapids and will presently perform only the vacuum aspiration type of abort ion. Vacuum aspiration is performable until the 12th week of pregnancy. Cost for the abor-tion, says Tomory , will be $140.00 but he expects the price to drop to $125 .00 or lower in a few months.

According to Tomory , the menstrual extract ion type of abor-tion will be available " in a few weeks." This type of abort ion is essentially the same as the vacuum aspiration, according to Tomory , only "cheaper because no dila-tion is necessary."

TOMORY is the only full t ime staff doctor at the clinic. Other doctors will perform abort ions on a contract basis, he said, and a patient will also be allowed to have her own doctor rejit the necessary equipment and space to perform the procedure.

Public hospitals will decide in-dividually whether to allow abor-tions, according to Director of Michigan's Department of Public Health, Dr. E- i - Harmop. Harmon said the Public Health Depar tment has issued guidelines on the sub-ject, but "actual decisions on al-lowing abort ions is solely in the hands of the individual hospitals."

WHEN THE anchor asked Har-mon if he foresaw any legal diffi-culties arising from a public hospi-tal's refusal to let a doctor per-form an abortion, he said, " A t this point many questions remain in limbo . . . We are doing what we think is conforming to the law."

Frederick Burd, director of Holland City Hospital said, "Our policy on abortions is un-changed . . . We do not allow abor t ions ."

Changes announced for selection of RA's

ADDED HATFIELD, "Christ ' s life also demonstrates that God ' s Kingdom does not come through the world's means of political power; rather it must come through the power of love."

Several changes have been made in the procedure for select-ing next year 's resident advisors, according to Assistant Dean of Students Nona Kipp.

VanWylen explains tenure by Paul Timmer

Recent events on Hope's cam-pus have raised significant ques-tions about tenure, a policy de-signed to insure academic f reedom and job security.

PRESIDENT GORDON Van Wylen stated, "Everybody in high-er education recognizes the impor-tance of academic f reedom." He added, however, that because of various factors, more recently " t h e emphasis on tenure 's impor-tance has shifted somewhat to its insurance of j ob securi ty ." These factors include a declining s tudent enrollment and college budget which cannot support surplus fac-ulty.

Hope follows the guidelines of the American Association of Uni-versity Professors which recom-mend that a f te r seven years of service a faculty member will re-ceive tenure. The AAUP also states that a professor should re-ceive at least a year 's notice if he is not to be tenured.

"I SUBSCRIBE t o these guide-lines," Van Wylen said. Schools vary as to how much tenure credit they grant to professors who transfer to their inst i tut ion. Though an instructor may teach at an inst i tut ion for many years, the maximum credit toward ten-ure at Hope is three years.

"Tenure is basically a good thing to insure academic f reedom and to reward instructors who

GORDON VAN WYLEN

have the given many years to college with assurance of employ-men t , " he said.

BUT HE EXPRESSED reserva-tion about tenure credit given to some professors who are hired from other schools. "I am cau-tious about automatical ly giving the incoming instructors three years toward his tenure credi t ," he decided. "I have reservations about giving credit t o those who have taught at a junior college," he said. The quali ty of the institu-tion where the professor has taught thus determines how much credit he gets toward tenure here.

Formerly, Hope has given cred-it to a professor who has taught at other schools while they were working on their post-graduate work. "If someone is an instructor at a large university while working on his Ph.D. he is, in effect , a graduate s tudent , and not a full ins t ructor ," Van Wylen declared.

THE GRANTING of tenure can sometimes cause the professor to be academically complacent, he believes. "This is why an institu-tion must be careful to tenure professors who will continue to be producers ," he noted. "The possi-bility of tenured faculty to s top producing is a mark against tenure but a good school will tenure only the best ," he said.

It is not necessarily a strike against a professor if he does not receive tenure, according to Van Wylen. "Grant ing tenure is a recognition that the instructor is respected and the school is willing to make a commitment to h im," he explained.

v MOST academicians agree that somewhere between a half and two-thirds of the entire faculty should be on tenure. Van Wylen observed that if an inst i tut ion has been careful with respect to whom it grants tenure, the per-centage can be higher.

"Trouble occurs when it is given to those who are not cre-ative, who do not produce, and

Hatfield address hits American 'civil religion'

Senator Mark Hatfield answered questions during a press conference last week in the President 's Room of Graves Hall. Hatfield 's visit was sponsored jointly by the Religion and Political Science depar tments .

Greater input from students sought by Pres. Van Wylen

continued from page I and if they do, we must never render un to Caesar what rightfully is God ' s . "

The senator said that early Christians gave their first alle-giance to God and not to the Roman Empire. He told the story of one young Christian named Maximillian who refused induc-tion into the Roman army and was subsequently executed.

HIS FATHER, also a Christian, re turned home in pride at his son's unbending loyalty to God.

This at t i tude of resistance toward Rome only changed when Emperor Constant ine became a Christian, Hatfield stated. Con-stantine likely converted for the sole reason of getting the Chris-tians on his side.

IN R E T U R N FOR the Church 's allegiance, Rome gave the clergy exempt ion f rom taxes and military service and permis-sion for a separate court system. The state used the Church to just i fy its own existence and pow-er. <4We suffer f rom this legacy today and face this continuing t empta t ion , " he noted.

Hatfield concluded his speech by calling for a "confessing church" - a body of people who confess Jesus as Lord and are prepared to live by their confes-sion.

"So let us be Christ 's messen-gers of reconciliation and peace, giving our lives over to the power of his love. Then we can soothe the wounds of war, and renew the face of the Earth and all man-k ind ."

who do not continue to learn," he stated

VAN WYLEN refused to com-ment when asked if Hope had been careful in the past with its granting of tenure, but said that even if all the people in a depart-ment are of high quali ty, in some cases they should still not be tenured.

"If it involves a rapidly chang-ing field, such as science, and a shift in student interest occurs in a new area of s tudy, we want the freedom to hire someone involved in that area," he said. "S tuden t s determine the marketplace ."

AT HOPE, when a professor is being reviewed for tenure,4 the department chairman usually makes the recommendat ion. Then the Status Commit tee , a group of four tenured faculty and two ad-ministrators determine which pro-fessors will be given tenure. The committee is the "real deci-sion-making body . " Van Wylen stated, "My job is not to make decis ions-i t is to make sure the process is working by which they are made."

He explained that the depart-ment chairman is the t4key figure," but he cautioned that he was not referring to the recent resignations in the biology depar tment .

THERE HAS not been a for-mal decision-making process at the depar tment level due to their relative smallness. Van Wylen however, is considering a way to establish such a formalized sys-tem.

He also noted that "s tudent input on the granting of faculty tenure is not very well organized." He said that the amount of stu-dent input should be increased. One possibility is a professor eval-uation survey. "If established, the survey would be a significant fac-tor in the decision-making proc-ess," he asserted.

VAN WYLEN discussed the importance of Christian faculty at a Christian liberal arts college. "If a college is going to be Christian, it will be such by virtue of its facul ty ," he declared.

"The religious facet of a pro-fessor seeking employment at Hope should definitely be consid-ered, mainly when he is being hired," Van Wylen stated.

by Bob Van Voorst

The cry, "God is dead , " is not a creation of 20th century radical theology. It was first sounded by the 19th century philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche.

THIS COLUMN WILL discuss the life and thought of Nietzsche, especially as they relate to his two concepts which are impor tant to our under-standing of modern secular thought : the death of God and the "Supe rman . "

Before we examine Nietzsche's thought , a brief sketch of his life may be helpful. Because Nietzsche actually lived his thought , his biography is a useful path on which to approach his work. Born in 1844 of a s taunchly Lutheran family in Prussia, young Friedrich distinguished himself as a brilliant s tudent . At first he studied theology and classical languages at the University of Bonn, later transferring to Liepzig.

AT THE AGE OF 24, an unheard-of-age in the German academic world, Nietzsche was appointed a professor of ancient languages at Basel. In 1869 he was awarded an earned doctora te by the University of Liepzig without having to produce a dissertation. Nietzsche seemed to be on his way to becoming one of the most talented educators and researchers that the German academic communi ty had ever pro-duced.

Such fo r tune was not to be his, however. Nietzsche had always been a sickly and intemperate young man. He retired f rom Basel in 1&79 because of illness, and searched the climates of southern Europe for a place where he could regain his health.

HIS CONDITION cont inued to deteriorate, and in 1889 Nietzsche became psychotic. He remained in the depths of mental darkness until his death in 1900.

What did Nietzsche mean by the slogan, "God is dead?" Contrary to its literal appearance, it does not mean that the God of the Christian faith has somehow ceased to exist, or died in the usual sense of the word. Rather, it means that Western man has ceased to think of belief in God as important in his personal life and in the life of society as a whole.

THE INCREASING secularization of life since the Renaissance, as Nietzsche explained it, has removed the need for a theistic God (or any type of God) who is concerned with the world. God has "d ied" as Western man has elbowed the idea of God out of his mind.

Since God has left the universe, Nietzsche stated, man is alone in the world. He must determine his own nature and destiny, setting up his own moral

system, if indeed he wants one. No God or divine order directs our universe, f rom which man can receive meaning and direction. This brings us to Nietzsche's concept of the " S u p e r m a n . "

THE " S U P E R M A N " does not denote a comic-strip character with which we are all familiar; rather, he is the post-Christian man who is convinced that God is dead, that man must go it alone, and who fashions his life accordingly. The Superman tran-scends the ordinary categories of good and evil which people about him employ. He o f t en appears immoral to his fellows; indeed, the French play-wright Gide entitled his dramatic study of Nietz-sche's life The Immoralist.

What can the Christian make of Nietzsche's life and work?

NIETZSCHE IS TO BE commended on several counts , despite his radical departure f rom the historic Christian faith. First, he was one of the first thoroughly secular thinkers to insist that the Chris-tian system of morality, with its emphasre on love, b ro therhood , justice, and self-sacrifice, is insep-arably wedded to the Christian God.

Nietzsche railed against those who sought to salvage a pseudo-Christian morality af ter scrapping the existence of the Christian God. He saw clearly what Dostoievsky once wrote: "If God did not exist, everything would be permi t ted ."

SECOND, NIETZSCHE IS to be commended because he had the courage to live out his thought . Paradoxically, it was his insistence on this integrity that drove Nietzsche to the blackness of his mania; contrary to his atheistic aspirations, he was not able to rise like the mythical phoenix f rom the ashes of authent ic atheism.

Nietzsche's ideas should be studied closely by every Christian who seeks to understand the sources of irrationality and aimlessness in our contemporary society. As the powerful prophets of secular thought tear down the historic Christian faith and fail to replace it with a satisfying alternative, a vacuum is being formed in the life of man. Life becomes, for so many people of our day, "a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying noth ing ."

It is this hellish vacuum that Christ 's people must strive to fill with God 's love and reconciling forgiveness. The wandering world must be called once again to the God of the Christian faith. Try as men may to dig a grave for his dead God, the living God will always t r iumph over the forces of death and sin.

Sununer session schedule set by T a m m y Cooke

Exact dates and fees for the 1973 Summer Sessions were an-nounced last week.

ACCORDING to Dr. Donald Williams, director of summer ses-sions 1973, May Term will be held May 14-June I. The June Session begins three days later, June 4-June 22; and June 25-August 4 will be the dates of summer school.

Tuition for the six week sum-mer session is $45 per credit hour, cheaper than the regular academic year rate. The cost for auditing courses will be $25 per credit hour. Room and board for all the summer sessions has been set at $36 for three weeks room, five-day board is $24 a week, and seven-day board is $31 a week.

BESIDES t he financial bene-fits, the summer sessions also allow one t o shorten his college

career. When all three sessions are taken, including opt ional physical education activities courses, 12-15 credits can be accumulated, nearly a semester 's work. Two, three and four hour courses will be offered.

Though cost and credit are considerations in contemplat ing the summer sessions. Dr. Williams feels offerings in a concentra ted short term approach will allow novelty in learning experiences.

THE MAY term will of fer ap-proximately 50 di f ferent courses and independent work projects involving nearly every depart-ment. Numerous oppor tuni t ies for independent study will be avail-able in art , English music, psy-chology, and theatre.

The Religion Depar tment will offer a course enti t led Religion and Cinema which will involve a s tudy of the phenomenon of man's religiousness in con tem-

porary film. The sociology depart-ment will o f fe r a seminar in se-lected topics: Changing Sex Roles in Contemporary Society.

O T H E R courses will include the Occult in America, the Prin-ciples of Theatrical Makeup, and Computer Simulation of Business Administration Decision-making.

Several courses will be offered off-campus. The single subject commitment of the May and June sessions allows for intense studies not possible during the regular school session.

ON LOCATION offerings will include geology in Colorado, and a federal vocation experience in Washington, D.C. Studies in com-municat ion: The British Broad-casting System will take place in London.

Tradit ional physical educat ion activities, as well as week-end bi-cycle trips will be available.

NORML: working for decriminalization of grass The National Organization for

the Reform of Marijuana Laws has in a recent newsletter called for nation-wide decriminalization of the weed, determining that mari-juana "does not pose a threat sufficient to limit individual free-dom by prosecuting those who use i t ."

KEITH STROUP, NORML's executive director, outlined the group's position on the issue and to prove his point cited the evi-dence of various surveys and the support for decriminalization of noted national and international personages.

Stroup, termed, " T h e capital 's most improbable lobbyis t" by the New York Times, stated " the facts are so strongly on our side, we just have to get them to the people ." While some may dispute some of NORML's " fac t s , " the group can point to an impressive number of notables strongly be-hind their platform.

THE OBJECT OF their labor is, according to S t roup , " to act as a spokesman, catalyst and clear-inghouse for the movement . "

While the group does not pro-mote the use of pot , they state,

Registered voters

will decide fate

of Vo-tech center The decision to borrow and

fund money for an Area Voca-tional Center will be made by Holland area registered voters next Thursday at the polls. The proposed Vocational Center , which would be located on the corner of U.S. 31 and Port Shel-don Road, would cost area resi-dents nearly five million dollars, an increase to homeowners of one and one-half million per year. In terms of dollars per household, the average taxpayer would be charged an extra $ 1 5.00 annually.

The new school would provide facilities for 1600 high school juniors and seniors in addition to night courses for adults. Thirteen high schools would be involved in the program, including Holland High, Holland Christian, and West Ottawa.

The goal of the proposed school is to provide interested students with occupational skills in any one of 33 different fields including plastics, landscaping, child care, automotive services, and accounting. The Ottawa Inter-mediate School District would be given the responsibility for the operation of the Vocational Cen-ter if the proposal is passed.

The polls will open at 7 a.m. Thursday and will close at 8 p.m. Hope registered voters will be casting their ballots in the same location as they did for the No-vember presidential election.

"We know of no medical, legal or moral justif ication for sending those to jail who use it. We believe the present marijuana laws cause more harm to society than the substance they seek to prohibi t ."

THAT BELIEF, NORML main-tains, was fostered by an increas-ing number of scientifically con-ducted studies which fail to sup-port the concepts inherent in ex-isting law. One such study cited by the group. The Tenth Staff Report of the National Commis-sion on the Causes and Prevention of Violence, a presidential study group, came to the following con-clusion:

"Unti l and unless evidence is for thcoming of harmful or addic-tive effects of mar i juana-and to date the evidence is all to the c o n t r a r y - n o rational basis exists upon which to resist arguments in favor of modifying the Draconian statutes penalizing possession of marijuana.

"AS LONG AS tobacco and alcohol are lawfully sold "poi-sons," there is scant justification for absolutely prohibiting the sale and use of marijuana. Moreover, the effect of this heavy-handed prohibition in eroding respect for law among you people in today 's world may be widely underesti-mated ."

Bach places twice in forensics meet

held last weekend Junior Paul Bach placed in two

events at the Manchester, Ind. College individual forensics events tournament this past weekend.

More than 170 students from colleges in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Michigan competed in the nine separate contests. Ten Hope students were among the contes-tants.

Bach captured first place in the exposi tory speaking competi t ion and finished second in impromptu speaking.

Gary VanderVen, a junior from New Era, reached the finals in humorous speaking as did Joanne Navarra, a sophomore f rom New Castle, Pa., in poetry reading.

Other Hope representatives were Molly Gates, a senior from Litchfield; Caron Noggle, a sopho-more f rom Kalamazoo; Charles Gossett , a senior f rom Cherry Hill, N.J.; Dan McAuliffe, a senior f rom Jackson; Jim Hern, a junior f rom Franklin, Wise.; Jill Bolhous, a junior f r o m Ful ton, III.; and Maria Dannenbring, a senior from Santa Ana, Calif.

The s tudents were accom-panied by M. Harold Mikle and Joseph MacDoniels of the Hope communica t ions faculty.

Decriminalization is the key word in NORML rhetoric. While not supporting wide-spread pot use in America, the group stresses the deleterious effect of a law which "concentra tes police power away from more serious offenses

(there were 71 ,000 California marijuana arrests in 1971), bur-dens an already overloaded crimi-nal court system and saps the resources of the nation ($72 mil-lion spent to enforce pot laws last year in California alone.")

TO THIS END the group advo-cates revising the drug's status in the law, placing it on a par with alcohol. The group says it hopes for improved regulation and taxa-tion of marijuana sales, perhaps a system yielding revenues for much needed social programs.

Specifically, the group would like to see: No criminal penalty for the possession or use of pot by those over 18. The right to dis-tribute small amounts to other adults.

THE GROUP advocates that sale and distribution of the sub-stance be conducted under federal

regulation insuring purity and en-forcement with respect to illegal adolescent use; that penalties for infractions, such as selling without a license or to a minor should parallel the penalties currently in effect pertaining to alcohol and that the advertising or promotion of marijuana in any manner should subject the offender to a substantial fine.

Some of those supporting the group are Andrew T. Weil, com-missioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 1967, for-mer Attorney General Ramsey Clark, Assistant Secretary of the Department of Health, Educat ion and Welfare Dr. Rodger O. Eg-berg, John Finlator, former depif-ty director of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics and Dr. Lester Grin-spoon of Harvard Medical School.

Pike's pique We strongly disagree wi th the state-

ments made by Dr. Kenneth Pike at the

faculty meeting Monday concerning the

way Christianity should be presented to students at a Christian institution such as

Hope. Pike, a longtime friend of President

VanWylen, feels that faculty members

should make a missionary-like effort to

present Christianity to their students, or in

other words, to teach f rom a Christian

point of view. It is a mystery to us whether Van Wylen

was trying to use his "21 year-old friend-

ship" and let Pike speak what he himself

was afraid to say, yet actually believes. Many professors were totally shocked at

the concepts voiced by Pike in his speech.

It is not di f f icul t to understand their

concern, for his approach, if instituted,

would drastically alter the present class-

room approach employed by most of the

Hope faculty. Pike emphasized that a large state

school most depend upon Christianity

reaching the student body outside the

classroom, but a small Christian school like

Hope should bring Christianity into the

classroom. According to Pike this is the

moral obligation of professors at Hope. Pike, in delivering his sermon (?) seemed

to be talking to the professors as if they

were not fulf i l l ing their rightful duty

unless they somehow brought "the Word" to the class. One does not have to look

deeply to recognize the reprecussions of

employing such a tactic. It seems paradoxical to us that Van

Wylen speaks about the sacredness of

academic freedom on one hand, and then

brings his own version of Bil ly Graham to

Hope in order to preach such academically

rigid propaganda. What is to become of

academic freedom and the open classroom?

Van Wylen has stated that a man's

Christianity wil l play a role, and possibly a

critical role in the hiring of any new

professors. He has now brought his great

evangelist friend on campus, who certainly

made clear his stand on Christianity in the

classroom. It is impossible for us to believe that an

institution can call itself "Christ ian" and

turn its back on other- than- Christian

professors. It is also di f f icul t to have

academic freedom when one is expected to

constantly bring the teachings of Christ

into a classroom situation.

Pres. praised When President Van Wylen .came to

H(5pe last year he was faced with i d i f f icul t

situation regarding tenure. During the in-

terim between presidents many faculty

members were tenured without adequate

investigation. When Van Wylen took office

he had a decision to make in which there

were only two outs. He conceivably could have tenured

everyone, thus avoiding conflict entirely.

This course of action, however, would have

been disastrous to the quality of academic

excellence at Hope. Instead Van Wylen

chose the di f f icul t path, but in doing so he

is insuring the high quality of a Hope

education. Before Van Wylen came there was no

clear-cut procedure to judge professors

before granting tenure. Although the

anchor believes that Van Wylen has made

mistakes in this area, he must be com-

mended for taking the initiative in estab-

lishing a sane, logical procedure for dealing

with the problem. The anchor is particularly pleased wi th

the steps Van Wylen has taken regarding

student input in faculty evaluations. While

we understand and agree with Van Wylen

that the students' role is not a main factor,

it should, and according to Van Wylen wil l

be considered. Af ter reviewing the contents of our

interview with Van Wylen regarding tenure,

the anchor believes that he is honestly

trying to establish steps to insure the

continued excellence of the academic life

at Hope.

Condemns Israelis About four years ago Israel destroyed

twenty-one commercial airplanes in the Beirut Airport. Last week the Israelis again commit ted another such inexcusable act. The Israeli warplanes shot down in flames a commercial Libyan airliner killing 106 per-sons aboard.

The pilot and four of the eight crew members were French employees of Air

France on contract to Libyan Arab Air-lines. Going f rom Benghazi, Libya to Cairo, the airliner accidentally strayed over the Israeli-held Sinai Peninsula. Again on course to Cairo, the plane was about 150 miles f rom Tel-Aviv when it was fired upon by Israeli rockets. Israeli pilots admit ted downing the aircraft as it flew in the direction of Cairo.

These facts alone are enough to convict

Israel of an act of mass murder of innocent and unarmed civilians, or as the UN Human Rights Commission called it, " t h e massacre of innocents . " Foreign Minister of Israel Abba Eban called the 106 innocent persons "ki l lers" when he said, "The action saved lives of many who could have become vic-t ims of those killers." The proffered feeble just i f icat ion of the Israelis for this complete-ly unjust i f iable tragedy was that the plane could have been on a military mission.

Less than twelve hours before the shoot-ing d o w n of the civilian airliner the Israelis staged raids deep into Lebanon, adding 50 lives t o the tally of victims of the Zionists.

Cont r ibut ing to peace set t lements in the Middle East by making the most costly military attack on a civilian airliner in history and making bloody raids over Lebanon killing more and more people, Israel cou ldn ' t have selected a bet ter meth-od to deliberately tear apart the recent U.S. Middle-East peace initiatives.

Ervin thanks students Many of you have inquired as to my

employment status and as to the events leading to that status. I feel that it is necessary for me to make a few brief comments at this time. I obviously do not agree with the decision to terminate my appointment to the Hope College faculty. I do not wish to chronologically list the events leading to my resignation, nor need 1 spell out the roles 1 believe individuals played in this matter.

I resigned with the belief that 1 was viewed, however incorrectly in my estima-tion, as lacking the standards of excellence necessary for consideration for tenure to the Hope College faculty. I do not intend to challenge any decisions througji avail-able channels, therefore, my resignation remains in effect.

President Van Wylen and I have had several meetings during which we discussed my status. Although I do not agree with

him on all points, I ask that you support him during his initial years at Hope Col-lege. During our conversations. President Van Wylen has impressed me with his integrity and his dedication for the con-tinued development of Hope College. To give him a fair chance, you must give him your support. This community of students and staff can only survive by a joint effort from all those involved.

The support you have shown for me has given me the emotional and professional strength to weather this situation. I simply cannot convey the gratitude that I feel towards each of you. Julie and 1 will miss Hope College, particularly the students. We thank you for allowing us into your lives and we wish you the best of futures. Do all that you can for Hope College. Make Hope an institution that you will be proud to claim as your Alma Mater.

March 2, 1973 Hope College anchor Five

Cyrano: 'Does Hope really need musical farce?9

Editor's note: This week's anchor review is written by junior psychology major Paul Bach. He examines Jose Ferrer's new pro-duction of Cyrano de Bergerac which opened last night in the DeWitt Cultural Center Main Theater. The play is directed by Ferrer with music by George Forrest and Robert Wright.

The houselights go down, a spot reveals the poised conduc to r ' s ba ton ' the overture proceeds nicely, and quickly; then a mus-tachioed grandfather figure is followed on his stroll through the audience to the side of the proscenium where he announces that he is Jose Ferrer, and he is here to-night to . . tell you a little something about the show."

THUS BEGINS one of the most success-ful product ions ever brought to the Hope College Theatre . . Successful? Well, Cyra-no says it best in a scene with DeGuiche: "I t ail depends on what you mean by success."

Collegiate theatre began in the IQSO's, in places like Boston and Yale Universities, to emerge as an answer to commercial theatre and the perenially dying Broadway. It was, in some degree, an e f fo r t to create a theatrical envi ronment in which economic considerat ions were secondary to aesthetic ones.

COLLEGE THEATRE, as it was con-ceived by many , was to be a place where the non-money making playrights like O'Neill, Ibsen and Shaw could regularly be per formed. If this a t t e m p t has been or is successful is a quest ion which is still being answered.

By any such considerat ions, however , Cyrano is and must be judged as a dismal

failure. It provides little chance for cathar-tic experience, it probes only shallowly into personalities of the characters, and hence renders those characters , including Monsignor de Bergerac himself a great deal less than memorable .

BUT TO JUDGE Cyrano a failure by such s tandards would be missing the point . Will we ever forget the heart-rending finale to Harvey, the dynamic personalities in West Side Story, or the brilliant character , watsisname in South Pacific? Yet all three are classic bits of American theat re . "The show's the th ing!"

Perhaps it is enough to walk out of tiie theatre humming the opening chorus "Cyrano . . . ! , " maybe the theatre doesn ' t guarantee us more than a good "night o u t " along with a knowledge of the etymologies of cadet and penache. If this is at t imes true, and I hold that it is, then Cyrano is a

success. DIRECTOR JOSEFerrer def t ly weaves

a yarn whose threads give the audience no uncertain clues that tonight their value structures will not be quest ioned, their souls p lumbed, their politics scoffed or their sensibilities s tepped upon . Follow spots went ou t of the theatre 15 years ago;

Ferrer brings them back. Heroic characters o f t en d idn ' t work for

playwrights as talented as Arthur Miller in the 50's, yet Ferrer has the nerve to put one on stage. And a Hammond organ in the orchestra pit, reminiscent of soap operas and between innings of major league baseball games, is no less than a camp coup

de grace. COMPOSER-LYRICISTS George

Forrest and Robert Wright add all the inevitably right ingredients for such a predictably festive occasion. "My Love Does Not Know She Is" is a charming torch song, their " T a k e Care Of H i m " is equally charming and equally to rchy ; "I Tingle" is an unbelievably trite little di t ty at just the right m o m e n t , while " F r o m the M o o n " is an exceedingly ingenious theatri-cal device as well as a very f u n n y song.

But the rousing male chorus, "Second to None" , is easily the musical moment of the evening. A heartening musical expres-sion of male camaderie is blended with Rich Rahn 's t ightly-controlled choreog-raphy to create a scene reminiscent of Rembrand t ' s "Night Watch."

AND A WORD needs to be said about Rahn's t a l e n t s - d e f t . The choreography need not be flashy, though it is in the Errol Flynn foil duals, nor is it overly artistic and introspective, though it can be tastefully both as in "The Piper Plays his T u n e . " It is simply and uncompromisingly, good.

All of this is complemented by a well-conceived and nicely executed orchestra-t ion, wri t ten by Roger Davis and con-ducted by Bob Cecil. No small part of the show's success is due lo the taste of these two.

RICHARD SMITH has created for this show an amazingly unobtrusive array of pleasant period costumes, and as a back-ground of them a Roccoco set replete with tastelessly overglossed surfaces, and banal, oppressive colors typical of the period. Mike G r i n d s t a f f s lighting, as usual, sensi-tively and professionally accents the mood

of each scene. One is unsure if the quality of the

principles' acting is due either lo Ferrer 's talent as a director , or their own as actors, which doubtless is a commendat ion for bo th . James Anthony plays a Cyrano who is bold, intelligent and every inch the man the term "Renna i sance" has come to de-

note .

ANTHONY HAS the insight to recog-nize that such a singularly (lawless an individual as Cyrano de Bergerac never existed, and overplays the character as the motif of a musical demands. When Cyrano is proud, Anthony plays him as arrogant; when brave-dash ing ; when me lancho l i c -emotionally crippled.

While accentuat ing the acting, Anthony fur ther displays the wisdom to sing with-out vibrato; Cyrano was no dandy but a simple, honest "second bo rn . " Anthony does all: sing, fight, compose verse and die, all with an unfailing energy and sense of the chutzpah demanded of a lead role in a musical.

SOMETHING WENT awry in Pam McHardy's interpretat ion of Roxanne. Somehow she never fits in with the rest of the show. Perhaps it is the abrasive quality her voice takes on when she gets exci ted. Perhaps it is that neither her lines nor her interpretat ion of them ever clearly deline-ates a character.

Is Roxanne a silly, willful teen-ager, a shrewish, self-centered bi tch, or a seduc-tress? At times Ms. McHardy is all three, but never with a discernable reason. While one can forgive silliness or transparency in a musical's character izat ion, it 's hard to accept arbitrariness. At any rate Roxanne blemishes the show's consistent facade of tackboard joy and "good- t ime" folksiness.

CHRISTIAN, AS played by Bill Beidler, is a solid suppor t ing role. Even in places where an actor might be tempted to steal

the scene f rom the lead, as in the balcony scene, Beidler is careful to allow Cyrano space to maneuver, and plays off of Cyra-no's lead rather than seizing it.

In a show that is ever a t t empt ing to create an e f fec t , Beidler provides a pleasant counterpoin t by playing his role succinct ly , and then getting out of the way. A sup-port ing actor who knows how to blend into the scenery is worth his weight in make-up, and Mr. Beidler proves himself to

be far more to Cyrano.

ALSO PLAYING supportive roles were Don Finn as a justifiably overbearing DeGuiche, Bob Brown as a s t i ff , pedant ic LeBret, John Tammi as an amusing Valvert and Bob Coughenour as the quie t , om-niscient Renavodot . In each case a well-def ined, if at times pedestrian, character sketch was provided as a backdrop to the facets of Cyrano 's personality.

The cadets, and more generally the chorus, provided the most consistent and significant performances . Energetic and disciplined, at times it seems as if the play lapsed f rom one appearance of the chorus to the next . Much of the joy which is to be found in the show is given to the audience

by this group.

SPECIAL LAURELS go to Phyllis Acocella, particularly as Duenna, Greg Bazaz as the befuddled monk, and Larry Gerkin as bo th Montf leury and the robus t , scene-stealing cadet . Gerkin of ten provided a happy focal point of a happier chorus number .

But the show as a whole is not without problems. While the pace was not tedious for a 2!4 hour show, too of ten the dialogue sags almost as if to wait for the next song or bet ter still, the next chorus.

TWO SCENES, "Melancholy Melody,"

and the Spanish war scene both seem inappropriately impressionistic and upset the flow of the play. Also, it 's hard to imagine what is gained by keeping the lighting ins t ruments in the audience ' line of sight.

These are only minor stylistic critcisms compared to some larger quest ions which don ' t render themselves to easy answers.

When does a stylistic choice for schmaltz become poor taste and mindless conven-tion, regardless of the fact that the choice was conscious? Does Hope College really need hired actors to carry off musical farce? Does Hope College really need musical farce?

It 's all good fun and that can be and is good enough, bu t should it be?

anchor essay _ _ . w ^ "

Proficiency test replaces language requirement Editor's note: This week's anchor essay is written by senior classics major Bruce Smith. He examines the newly revised foreign language requirement.

After months of debate the first major change in the core curriculum has been made. The action came at a jo int three hour meeting of the Academic Affairs Board, Curriculum Commit tee and Foreign Language Depart-ment two weeks ago Friday.

ALTHOUGH there are many ramifications, the guidelines of the new proposal provide for a general lessening of the number of hours for the requirement, in-creased reliance on proficiency and a greater emphasis on the literary aspects of a foreign cul-ture.

The foreign language require-ment presently consists of two components , demonstra ted one-year college level proficiency in one foreign language, and success-ful complet ion of one course, other than an elementary course in the same language.

ALTHOUGH this second com-ponent is preferably taken in one's language of demonstrated proficiency, it could also be at the elementary level in another lan-guage or in a foreign cultural studies course. These cultural studies courses will generally be taught in English.

What this means is that a stu-dent coming to Hope with two solid years of language in high school will probably only be re-quired to take one three-hour course. This course could well be a foreign civilization course taught in English.

THE CRUCIAL point in the new requirement is a one-year college level proficiency. In order to prove his proficiency the stu-dent will have to achieve a desig-nated score on either a SAT

achievement tests or the depart-mental placement tests adminis-tered at the beginning of the year.'

This seems to be much more sound and fair educationally than the present practice of count ing the hours a student has spent in foreign language classes. It should be noted that scores on such tests, whether taken as a sophomore or a senior in college, will establish the necessary profi-ciency.

ALTHOUGH MOST s tudents will probably be able to prove one year's proficiency and then take the extra three hour course, the new requirement is flexible enough to allow for s tudents with widely divergent language back-grounds.

A student with three or four years of s tudy in high school should be able to place rather highly on the proficiency tests. Any one of these who can place into the 300 level will have the requirement waivered complete-

l y - h e will have satisfied the one year proficiency requirement and also have shown enough ability beyond that level to satisfy the second component . Similarly, any-one who can place into the 200 level in two languages will have satisfied the requirement .

THERE WILL also be an inter-mediate cut-off point for those who show half a year's profi-ciency. These people will take a special one semester refresher course which will then give them their one year's proficiency. Be-yond this they still have to take a three hour course for the second component .

Finally, for s tudents with no background in language the re-quirement will now be nine hours, still a drastic cut from the present-* sixteen hours. This will include two semesters to develop a profi-ciency as well as the other three hour course.

AS YOU MAY have noticed in the last example the foreign lan-guage courses have been cut from the traditional four hours to three. The reasons for this change included pressure to lessen the total hours required in the core curriculum, the consideration that three hour time blocks tend to fit into the s tudent 's schedule more easily, and plans to increase the variety of course offerings.

By lessening the number of hours each professor spends teach-ing elementary and intermediate courses the department plans to increase the variety of its offer-ings. By way of allaying worries expressed by a number of stu-dents, a reduction will also be made in the course content . No one will be expected to handle four hours of material in a three hour course.

WITH THE change in content also came a change in the name of the requirement. In order to re-

flect the increased concern with understanding foreign culture rather than merely taking a given number of hours of language, the term "Foreign Language Gradua-tion Requi rement" has been re-placed by "Foreign Cultural Studies Graduat ion Require-ment . " Both the foreign language department and the Academic Affairs Board feel this title re-flects the nature of the require-ment more accurately.

Overall, the change in the re-quirement should have several beneficial effects. Most obvious is the reduction in hours required to fulfill the core curriculum. The new proposal leaves a core aver-aging 51.6 hours per s tudent as opposed to the former 56.4.

THIS NOT ONLY meets the approval of many s tudents but also seems to point the way to further changes and reduct ions in the core. A paper urging consider-ation of changes in o ther parts of the core has already been sub-mitted to the Academic Affairs Board by Hubert Weller, chair-man of the depar tment of foreign languages.

The increased emphasis on pro-ficiency may also find application in other areas. Despite problems with deciding exactly how to measure proficiency in any par-ticular area, it does seem to be a much sounder educational policy than merely requiring s tudents to take a given course regardless of their background. It should also provide incentive for s tudents to do well in order to place out of requirements or into more special-ized courses.

THE NEW proposal should also be welcomed by the admissions department since it not only lessens a requirement many high school seniors have objected to, but provides numerous opt ions for the incoming s tudent .

Finally, the smaller require-ment will allow the depar tment to offer numerous new courses and to make more efficient use of its staff. This fact has allowed the depar tment to make major re-visions in its programs.

Exactly what these are and what implications they have will be discussed in next week's issue. Meanwhile, if anyone has ques-tions about the implications of the requirement change for their individual cases they should con-tact the depar tment of foreign languages.

Law school admissions down

by Marcy Darin

Unity appears to be the key concept throughout the history of the Ministry of Christ 's People, a s t uden t -ope ra t ed organization which will celebrate its second birthday this spring.

IN AN ARTICLE published in the Church Herald last fall, stu-dent director of the MOCP staff Roger DeYoung explains the pur-pose of this religious group.

' 'Several years ago the student church saw a need to reorganize its ministry into a program which would encourage and unify a vari-ety of responses to Christian com-mitment , a ministry which would allow different resportses to Christ, and recognize their inter-

Grad school prospects viewed by Dave DeKok

Hope students aspiring to enter law school next fall may find admission difficult but the ratio of s tudents accepted for medical school will probably remain the same.

ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR of Biology Norman Rieck, a pre-med advisor, stated that last year 12 Hope students were admit ted to medical school out of 18 who applied.

"Tha t works out to 66 and two-thirds percent accepted, which is almost twice the national average," he said, and added,

Original art work to be exhibited in Phelps lobby

A one-day presentation of orig-inal l i thograph, intaglio, serigraph and woodcut prints will be held Thursday, March 8 f rom 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Phelps Hall.

The public is invited to view this unique collection to be of-fered by Lakeside Studio from Lakeside, Mich.

The work to be exhibited, val-ued at over $100,000 , contains prints by old master and modern master artists such as Albrecht Durer, Jacques Callot, Georges Rouault and Pablo Picasso. There will also be prints by contempo-rary artists Leonard Baskin, Garo Antresian, Mark Tobey, Sid Chafetz, S.W. Hayter and many others including Clinton King, Joyce Macrorie, Stanley Rosen-thal and Paul Stewart f rom Michi-gan.

" T h e percentage of those ac-cepted from Hope has been near 70 percent for the past several years."

HE DECLINED TO make a prediction regarding this year 's acceptance rate. "There are too many factors to consider to make an accurate predict ion," Rieck said. " F o r example, more and more s tudents applying to med school have advanced degrees, which puts pre-med students f rom a college like Hope at a disadvan-tage."

Rieck expressed guarded op-timism that this year's acceptance rate would be as high as last year's, and added, "We hope our s tudents can be well enough trained to gain admission."

HE ATTRIBUTED the high percentage of acceptance to med schools to " t he weeding-out proc-ess that goes o n . " Rieck stated that each freshman class has be-tween 90 and 100 s tudents who indicate an interest in a health career.

"However, when the time comes to apply to a school during their senior year the ranks are thinned considerably. We tell our s tudents they had bet ter want to be doctors so bad they can taste i t . "

MANY STUDENTS find they don ' t really want to be doctors , he added, and stressed that to be a good doctor one has to be com-pletely happy in one 's work. "We tell them there are many o ther ways to serve their fellow man besides being doctors ."

Though many hold to the pop-ular notion that women are under-represented in the medical profes-sion (as doctors), Rieck disputed this notion and pointed out that many women have gone on to

MINORITY STUDENT enroll-ment at med schools is only 10 percent, Rieck noted, and added that no minority s tudent (differ-entiated from foreign students) has applied f rom Hope for several years. "I don ' t know the reason for this," he said.

Law schools are cutting back on the number of new students enrolled, according to Associate Professor of Political Science James Zoetewey, the pre-law ad-visor. "This is due to the relatively low number of jobs awaiting new lawyers," he stated.

ANOTHER REASON for the diff iculty in getting admit ted to a law school is the great number of students applying. The University of Michigan, for example, receives 10 applications for every vacancy it has.

Zoetewey noted that s tudents were taking their Law School Ad-mission Tests earlier than in pre-vious years, with most taking it in the fall and some in the summer.

"THEY DO THIS so they can send in their applications as early as possible," he stated, "and thus get the longest possible considera-t ion." The LSAT is required by most law schools.

He remarked that most stu-dents possessing a score of 600 or more on their LSAT and a grade point average of at least 3.5 would likely gain admit tance to some law school. 10 or 11 Hope seniors got scores of 600 or better on the LSAT this fall.

dependence for a total harmoni-ous Christian l ife."

BEGUN IN THE spring of 1971 by leaders of the s tudent church and various Christian groups on campus, the MOCP is an offshoot of the Religious Life Commit tee . Chaplain William Hillegonds, faculty advisor to the MOCP, cites two primary reasons for its establishment.

" T o begin wi th ," he said, " t he s tudent church could not be established as an ordinary church. Its membership was too transient and the s tudents were too young to be elders or deacons. Secondly, the MOCP unites the various Christian organizations on campus for the c o m m o n purpose of ser-vice."

STUDENT assistants, selected in the spring of each year, super-vise the four areas of ministry: Worship, Evangelism, Social Minis-tries, and Personal and Inter-Personal Growth . These s tudent leaders direct commit tees to fur ther their particular ministry.

John Schmidt , s tudent assis-tant in the area of Worship, is responsible for arranging chapel services both on Sunday and one week day.

THE SUPERVISION of Bible studies and prayer meetings is the task of Dick Otterness, s tudent leader in the area of Evangelism.

Responsibility for leadership in the Social Ministries is shared by Deb Baar and Don Bosch, while the team of Phil DeHann and Ann Voskuil direct activities in the area entitled Personal and Inter-Personal Growth . Their work

consists chiefly of supervising a campuswide Bible study program.

MOST RECENTLY, the MOCP, in conjunct ion with the Religious Life Commit tee , had arranged for Senator Mark Hat-field (R-Oregon) to appear on campus last Thursday. The sen-ator delivered a convocation ad-dress entitled "Christians and Poli-tics" in Dimnent Memorial Chap-el.

In addit ion, a follow-up panel discussion, open to the public, was held that a f te rnoon in Wich-ers Auditor ium.

THE MOCP HAS also sched-uled the April 26-29 appearance of former Hope professor James Malcolm, the man chiefly respon-sible for organizing Hope's theatre depar tment . Malcolm is currently professor of theatre at Boston University.

Besides sponsoring campus-based projects such as the Christ-mas tree fund and Christian unity weeks, the MOCP also contr ibutes to the service of the communi ty .

IN THIS RESPECT, the Office of Social Ministries has just initi-ated the "adopt a grandparent program," essentially pat terned after Higher Horizons and de-signed to provide companionship for the elderly of Holland.

A similar project for the elder-ly undertaken by the Personal and Inter-Personal Growth Ministry, enables interested s tudents to visit a communi ty rest home twice a week.

DeYoung adds that the minis-try is trying to expand this pro-gram to include a rest home in Zeeland.

Fried publishes anthology of noted German historian

The World of Rolf Italiaander is the title of a book recently published in Germany under the editorship of Dr. Paul G. Fried, professor of history and chairman of the depar tment .

Scheduled to appear in time for Italiaander 's 60th bir thday, the volume contains selections f rom the author ' s recent writings as well as contr ibut ions by writ-ers, artists and statesmen f rom many parts of the world.

Italiaander, who came to Hope in 1961 as a visiting professor of African history, is the author of nearly 100 books dealing with the history of Africa, Asia and Latin America, contemporary affairs, and political, social and cultural problems.

During one of his recent visits to Hope Italiaander presented funds to the college for the estab-lishment of a junior prize in his-tory or political science to be awarded to a student who has

Fried became acquainted with Italiaander more than 20 years ago at a meeting of the Hamburg Academy of Arts and Literature for which Italiaander then served as secretary. At that t ime Dr. Fried was assigned to Hamburg as chief of the U.S. Air Force His-torical Research Division's liaison office for the British Occupation Zone of Germany. The two men have been friends since that time and Fried has contr ibuted articles to two of Italiaander's recent books.

Lose to Calvin 78-69

Cagers finish season with disappointing 9-13 mark The Flying Dutchmen de-

s t royed Albion's thoughts of an MIAA title last Saturday night in the Civic Center with a 95-78 victory.

ALBION entered the contest •one and one-half games behind t h e champion Olivet with a 6-4 record, the same as Calvin and Kalamazoo. Albion had a chance of tieing Olivet by beating Hope and then Olivet Wednesday.

Lee Brandsma enjoyed his ca-reer high of 32 points with 20 coming in the first half. The back-court ace had fine drives compli-mented by accurate outside shoot-ing to intimidate Olivet in his last h o m e game.

DAVE Harmelink, also a senior guard for Hope, enjoyed a career high of 24 points. Harmelink was good for eight of eight a t tempts at the charity line and scored eight field goals f rom the floor.

Hope's talented sophomore forward Brian Vriesman had a disappointing first half. He was held scoreless and left the game late in the first half because of foul trouble. In the second half he came back to score 15 points and control the boards.

TOM Wolters, also playing his last home game finished with eight points and saved Hope on the boards in the first half by pulling down nine rebounds.

The first half was a close con-test with star forward Vriesman on the bench much of the second quarter. The Albion Britons led by as much as seven at one point but couldn' t stop Hope's guards from rallying back. The Flying Dutchmen went into the locker room leading with a 44-36 half-time margin.

ALBION tried their usually ef-fective press which destroyed the Flying Dutchmen in their first contest, 82-62. This time Coach Russell Devette knew what to expect and completely blew the press apart.

The fans thought Hope was in

deep trouble when senior center Tom Wolters fouled out , but Rick Hakken came in ready to burn the Britons. The junior reserve center hustled on defense intimidating the Briton center and made two steals to fire-up the Hope squad.

HOPE finished the evening with a commanding 43 percent shooting accuracy, hitting 38 of 88 shots while the Britons were good for 40 percent with 30 of 75 a t tempts f rom the floor.

The game was a poor ball handling night for both teams. Hope was charged w i th ' 25 turn-overs and Albion had 21. This was

Wrestlers finish disappointing campaign by Jim McFarlin

The line would sound just as tri te if you heard it here or f rom a returning POW's wife at a metro-poli tan airport: "Baby, a whole lot has happened while you've been away."

IN THE SPACE of one week, the Hope grapplers went through a Great Lakes Colleges Associa-tion tournament, dual meets against Southwestern Michigan and Saginaw Valley Colleges, the big MIAA league meet in Olivet and the close to a long and frust-rating season.

First came the GLCA contest held Saturday, Feb. 17 at the Holland Christian High School gymnasium. The heavily favored Little Giants from Wabash College took the overall title with 61 points but MIAA cohorts Albion and Kalamazoo did quite well within the loosely-joined associa-t ion 's competition finishing sec-ond and fourth respectively.

AS FOR THE Dutch, they managed to find the basement in the nine-team dogfight but fin-ished only two behind DePauw and Denison Colleges who tied wi th 25 total team points. As usual Paul Cornell gave his coach i n d fans reason to smile. When the burly heavyweight decisioned Ohio Wesleyan's Reuter 5-3 he became the first Hope wrestler

ever to walk away with a GLCA crown.

Senior captain Rick Vanderlind came ever so close to equalling his teammate's feat but after taking Ughetta of Denison into overtime to win 6-4 in the semi-finals, a 2:30 pin in the finals forced Van-derlind to surrender not only to the silver but a painful leg injury serious enough to keep him out of action for four days.

FOLLOWING THEIR weekend ordeal a pair of home dual meets lay in wait. Hope split their deci-sions, falling Tuesday night to Southwestern Michigan College of Dowagiac 36-16 (Denny Sturd-evant, a 16-6 superior decision, Maurice Winklerprins and Cornell, a pair of pins for the loser's score) and besting Saginaw Valley 32-12 on Thursday.

In the victory, Captain Vander-lind ( 4 : 0 0 - , Tony Decker (5:35) and Cornell (3:55) recorded pins and Winklerprins took a 6-1 ver-dict from Saginaw's Joe Alcini. Coach George Kraft was pleased with the pre-weekend tune-up. "It was the final dual meet of a rough year and 1 was very pleased to see our guys put it together. The win put us in a good frame of mind for the league meet.

AS IT TURNED out , they needed the cheeriest thoughts they could muster. Olivet made a farce of the MIAA league wVes-

tling meet, scoring 103 total points to next high Kalamazoo's 52-Vi. Vanderlind was bested in the finals at 142, losing a 7-4 decision to undefeated Larry Jones of Olivet; still, when the coaches voted, it was Vanderlind who named to the all-MlAA wres-tling squad over Jones for his Total contribution to the league.

Ed Chavey, Dave Keiffer, Stur-devant and Decker placed fourth in their respective weight classes for the Dutch. Besides seeing 167-pound Denny Bishop of Kalama-zoo unanimously voted the Most Valuable Wrestler in the league and viewing the total collapse of Adrian from a team that had

never been beaten in dual compe-tition two years ago to best place in the league with 29 points, there was the oppor tuni ty to watch in Olivet one of the greatest anti-climaxes of the year.

PAUL CORNELL, who had lost only once all year in competi-tion, was beaten by Greg Tushour of Kalamazoo for the heavyweight f ina l s -by a point given for stall-ing. Like their MIAA counter-parts, neither Tushour or Cornell made the all-league squad.

As a sophomore, Cornell was the only consistant winner on a dismal squad and winner of Hope's outstanding wrestler award for 1973.

Hope's 23 straight year of defeat-ing Albion at home.

IN THE Calvin game Wednes-day Calvin guard Greg Broene made two crucial baskets to give Calvin a 78-69 win over the Flying Dutchmen and pace the Calvin Knights to a championship in the MIAA.

The game was closer than the final score indicates with Hope and Calvin keeping check on each other .all the way. Brian Vriesman had his best game of the season scoring 23 points and grabbing 17 rebounds. The sophomore for-ward was accurate from outside with his fine shot.

HOPE tied the ball game with 1:57 to go but slipped behind again and had to foul to keep a hope of a win alive. Boene's two free throws clinched the win for the Knights.

Brandsma took the MIAA scor-ing title Wednesday night by fin-ishing 20 points ahead of Kalama-zoo's Jim VanSweden. Brandsma, the best balanced guard Hope has had in many years, finished the season with 242 points for 12 games.

THIS is the eleventh time a Hope player has taken top scoring honors. Brandsma complimented Vriesman's 23 points with 20 game points. Artie Tuls, Calvin's powerful guard, was held to a low game of 9 points by Brandsma.

Hope finished the season with a 9-13 overall record and a 4-8 MIAA record. Mope recorded wins over the tough teams but couldn't win consistently.

Frosh cagers lose to Albion; end season below .500 mark

Hope's freshman cagers saw their season-long struggle for .500 record conquered and relin-guished, all within the space of fou r days last week. But thanks to the presumed grace of God and Calv in- in that o r d e r - t h e y will be given a final chance.

Wednesday night in Alma, Bob Klomparens and Dave Weist com-bined for 49 points as the Dutch ran away from their hosts 84-73. Coach Wilham Vanderbilt called the work of his two high scorers " t h e -best games they've played this year."

But the game itself was "a great team victory." Klomparens led all scorers with 27. Gord Alderink found the rim for 14 points and Dave Mulder added 10. Mike Burns and George Gillespie had 16 apiece for the Alma Scots.

Then came Saturday at the Civic Center and the evening with the tough Albion freshmen and

even though former Holland Christian standout Rick Smith collected 18 points in the first half, the Dutch trailed 42-40.

The team's two consistent re-bounders, Weist and Mulder, found themselves in foul trouble in the second half, and the result was pretty bad news for lovers of symmetry in basketball records: Britons 82, Dutch 78. Jim Kund-sar paced the winners with 25 and Joe Pergande added 16; Klom-parens had 21 and Smith ended with 20 for Hope.

At press time, the cagers were faced with a must-win encounter at Calvin's Knollcrest Fieldhouse in order to salvage their last game as first-year men in the orange and blue. Vanderbilt feels that a num-ber of the men playing tonight are of the caliber to greatly strength-en the varsity squad next year; breaking even could be their first real test.

March I marks the opening of official practice for spring sports teams in the MIAA. The Hope cindermen are practicing both inside and outside right now, but until warmer weather arrives, base-ball is limited to workouts at Carneige and Holland Christian, while the tennis team is indoors at Muskegon.

THE TRACK team, defending champions in the MIAA, gets a jump on the other two teams when they open competi t ion March 13 at a triangular indoor meet at Ferris State in Big Rapids. Calvin is the third competi tor in that meet.

In talking with Athletic Director and head track coach Gordon Brewer this week, I sensed that he was somewhat apprehensive about the upcoming season.

FOR ONE thing, the Dutchmen lost the services of sprinter Cliff Haverdink, who graduated from Hope with three school records and a MIAA record in the 220 yard dash. Also, Hope's best hurdler last year. Rick Schaap, has since left school, although he will be assisting Brewer with the hurdlers.

The status of Greg Daniels seems to be still another uncertainty. Greg is captain of the team, holder of one conference record (two-mile), and two school records. However, last summer he injured a leg muscle in a skiing accident. He never completely recovered by the end of cross country, and according t o Brewer, he is still having some trouble.

BREWER talked about the possibility of working him into relays at the beginning of the season to see just how recovered he is. Hopefully he can regain the strength that enabled him last year during one meet to run the 880, one mile and two mile all in the same day, and win all three in outstanding times.

However, considering the other healthy per-formers who remain, as well as several promising freshmen, I am sure you won' t find any coach around the league shedding tears for the Dutch.

BEGINNING with the sprinters who have been removed from the shadow of Haverdink, senior Chris Gouyd has done 9.7 in the 100, while fellow senior Chet Evers has also broken ten flat. Also, Evers was Hope's best long jumper last year, as well as setting a school record in the triple jump.

If Daniels recovers fully, he will head a distance corps that is very talented. First, there is Stuart School of Montague who was second in the MIAA cross country run last fall.

ANOTHER CROSS country runner who will contribute to the distance corps is Brian Claxton who returns to spring competit ion af ter a year abroad. Claxton will be in the one mile, while all-MIAA (cross country) runner Phil Ceeley will run the two mile, and Glenn Powers the 880.

In the 440, Brewer mentioned Bud Kopp as a possibly prospect to replace Haverdink. Brewer said Kopp "has been working very hard and has lost a little weight in the off season."

THE POLE vault will be Hope's strongest event. Last year, junior Craig Bleckley and sophomore Jeff

Rett led the team at 13' 6", while Dutch Nyboer was a close second. In other field events, Hopes best shot putter , Steve DeYoung, and best high jumper , Jim McFarlin, are both returning.

Two transfers should beef up the field events. Bruce Groendyke a GRJC trackman last year, beat Hope in a meet last year by heaving the iron ball 46 ' V i " . Also, the Dutch may have a good discus thrower in Rich Heusinkveld, a transfer from Oklahoma State.

SEVERAL freshmen promise to add much talent to the team. Seeking to replace Schaap in the hurdles will be Jim Ritcheske of Muskegon Big Red, Rick Martinus of Muskegon Mona Shores, and Ron Brown of Illiana.

Ken Merte of Ann Arbor will be a candidate in the 440, while Luke Young will be running the 880. Cius Lukow should give Hope a strong one-two punch in the discus.

LASTLY, there are two more pole vaulters worth noting. Steve Berger of Naperville, Illinois and Jim Wildgen of Muskegon give Hope five men who have done I 2 '6" in that event. Also, Wildgen is a good high jumper, clearing 6 '2" last weekend while participating on his own at Ann Arbor.

This was how Brewer summed up the MIAA. Kalamazoo would have to be considered the

favorite because of their strength. They did lose the MIAA champion shot put ter , but they had the champion cross country team last fall. Also, in our dual meet with them last spring, their Mike Blan-shard beat Haverdink in both dashes."

"CALVIN and Alma should have good teams as well. Calvin picked up a state champion hurdler from Muskegon Christian to strengthen their already sound program. Olivet could be considered a dark horse."

Brewer will have four people assisting him this year, or as he described them, "people who have been in the program and are sold on i t ." These include Bill Bekkering and Rich Frank of the Zeeland school system. Gene Haulenbeek -who graduated last year, and Schaap.

AS FOR the schedule this year, there are a couple of important dates. Hope opens their out-door season at Calvin on April 7, when the Knights host the MIAA Relays. This is the first year for this event. "There will be one open event, a three mile run," said Brewer, "bu t the main idea is to let as many candidates as possible participate. Five teams are participating."

The second big date, and one which Hope people should particularly remember, is the GLCA meet to be held at Van Raalte on April 20 and 21. This will bring an outstanding field f rom the eleven schools in the GLCA.

The third big date is really a composite of three major events. These include a home dual meet with Alma on May 2, a double dual at home with Calvin and Kalamazoo on May 5 (both at home), and the MIAA Field Day on May 12 at Calvin. As Brewer said, this composite will determine the final confer-ence standings.
