Burr Tillstrom to get honorary degree here

Burr Tillstrom, pioneer of im-provisational theater, will be pre-sented an honorary Doctor of Letters degree by Hope during a convocation April 13.

TILLSTROM, recognized as a forerunner in the development of children's educational and enter-tainment programs on television, is best known as the creator of "Kukla, Fran and Ollie."

The convocation will begin at 8 p.m. in the theater of the DeWitt Cultural Center. Since seating is limited, admission will be by ticket only. Student tickets will be available af ter spring vacation.

TILLSTROM will also be on campus the week of April 10-14 as a theater department artist-in-residence.

Tillstrom's hand puppet team Kukla and Ollie were a success in the early days of television, doing demonstration shows for RCA at the New York World's Fair anch elsewhere.

IN 1947, singer-comedienne Fran Allison joined the act for a five-day-a-week show on Chicago station WBKB, and "Kukla, Fran and Ollie" was born. The program went coast-to-coast over the NBC network the next year and re-mained on network TV until 1957.

The series was recognized as something of a national institu-

Students interested in a year's study in the Middle East now have an alternative to the somewhat uncertain Beirut program: a new GLCA Middle East program at the University of Haifa in Israel.

ADMINISTERED by Oberlin College, the Haifa program will combine language study, living in private homes and academic work at the university.

In addit ion, students will have opportunit ies for independent study and several field trips. They will be able to earn up to 35 semester hours of credit in Haifa.

Donia, Taylor gain support Hope graduate Robert Donia

and former Hope student Keith Taylor are continuing their effor ts to correct what they feel to be injustices in U.S. Army Intelli-gence operations.

DONIA AND Taylor are being aided in their e f for ts by Senator Stewart Symington (D., Missouri). Symington read to the Senate on March 1 the article written by George C. Wilson of The Washing-ton Post (referred to in the March 6 edition of the anchor) and letters from Donia and Taylor.

Wilson's story concerned al-leged abuses in the American over-seas military intelligence network. A large portion of his story was supplied by Donia and Taylor.

IN AN INTERVIEW with the anchor, Symington's office re-vealed that Symington "has intro-duced a resolution to form a joint committee on intelligence."

The purpose of the committee would be " t o examine all overseas intelligence." However, its fate is uncertain since the proposal to form the committee is itself now in committee.

A SYMINGTON aide told the anchor, " I t ' s difficult for us to do anything because Senator Symington is not a member of the Appropriations for Intelligence Subcommit tee of the Senate Ap-propriations Commit tee ."

"Anothe r problem is the CIA subcommit tee of the Armed Ser-vices Commit tee ," the aide said.

Infractions of liquor policies

at frat rush parties indicated "The college upholds the state

and municipal laws concerning drinking, and prohibits the pos-session or consumption of alco-holic beverages. . . at college func-tions," states the 1971-72 Hope College handbook.

HOWEVER, with the passage of the 18-year-old age of majority law and the recently concluded fraternity rush season, the col-lege's policy has been questioned and in a few cases outrightly challenged by some fraternities.

According to Dean of Students Robert DeYoung, some individual

The anchor will not be pub-lished next Monday, March 27. It will reappear after spring vacation, April 17.

All copy, announcements and information regarding articles or advertisements to be included in the April 17 issue should be brought to the anchor office. Graves Hall basement, no later than Thursday, April 13.

fraternities had approached his office during rush and requested permission to serve alcoholic be-verages at off-campus parties.

"WE COULD only point to present college policy and deny the requests," DeYoung said, "and explain the procedure for changing the policy."

That procedure involves a study by the Student Conduct Commit tee , which would then make recommendations to the Campus Life Board. It would be the responsibility of the CLB to change the policy if it decided change was necessary.

AT LEAST two fraternities, however, ignored the college's pol-icy altogether. Both the Arcadians and the Knickerbockers openly served liquor at rush parties.

A spokesman for the Holiday Inn in Spring Lake confirmed that the Arkies consumed liquor at their rush party there on March 11.

SEVERAL people who at-tended the Knick party at Enter-prise Lodge also confirmed that liquor was served there.

"Senator John Stennis is chairman of both the subcommittee and the committee, and he hasn't called any meetings."

DONIA AND Taylor are also seeking support from Michigan Congressman Lucian Nedzi, chair-man of the House Intelligence Subcommittee. However, in an interview with the anchor, James Pyrros, Nedzi's news aide, said that Nedzi's investigation will not begin until later this year.

Nedzi intends to investigate in-telligence operations in Laos. Pyrros indicated that so far most of the information Nedzi will use has come from materials gathered by Richard Moose and James Lowenstein, both on the staff of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

DONIA TOLD the anchor Fri-day that he intends to contact members of the Appropriations for Intelligence Subcommittee of the Senate Appropriations Com-mittee and Armed Services Com-mittee in order to facilitate action on the findings he and Taylor have gathered.

Donia added that he intends to publish an article in a periodical which has wide circulation on Capitol Hill in hopes of arousing Congressional at tention.

Wilson, author of the Post ar-ticle, is currently in Vietnam attempting to gather more evi-dence of abuses in the intelligence network. Donia feels that Wilson's findings will document the allega-tions that he and Taylor have made.

dent body, composed of Jews, Arabs and Druzes. Haifa is the second largest city in Israel and a major seaport. Located on the slopes of Mount Carmel, it over-looks the Mediterranean.

Beginning in early September, the GLCA program will last until the first of July. During their 10 months of study, students will first participate in a two month " U l p a n " for the study of Hebrew, and then spend three trimesters of nine weeks each at the University of Haifa.

DURING THE Ulpan, worth eight semester hours credit, stu-dents will be placed in Hebrew classes according to their level of achievement. Each participant will also receive academic counseling as well as an orientation to an-cient and modern Israel during this period.

Study of Hebrew will normally continue for the entire academic year, though students with reason-able proficiency may place out of it af ter two trimesters. In addi-tion, program participants will be allowed to elect regular university courses, special courses, and inde-pendent research and/or work-study.

COURSES AT Haifa are taught in English and several European languages, as well as in Hebrew.

Two types of special courses will be offered in English for GLCA students: courses directly related to Jewish and Israeli life

and culture, and courses reflecting faculty research interests.

PROGRAM MEMBERS will live in private homes in Haifa during their year of study. They will be required to arrange for their own meals.

Total cost of the program is $3,500. This includes the program fee of $2,500, covering overseas transportation and all tuition and fees, and room and board ex-penses of approximately $1,000.

HOWEVER, THE FEE does not include expenses for addi-tional travel, laundry, books, in-surance and shipment of baggage in excess of 44 pounds.

Application deadline for the Haifa program is April 10. A non-refundable $25 fee is due with each application.

THE PROGRAM itself offers no scholarships, but scholarships held by students at GLCA colleges are applicable toward the pro-gram. • Director of International Edu-cation Dr. Paul Fried compared the Haifa program favorably with the Beirut program. "I really think it'll be a better program than the one at AUB," he said. "I t has a more original design."

The program is also desirable because it will expose students to the problems of a developing country . Fried said.

Application forms are available in the office of International Edu-cation.

Convention delegates to be chosen in state

Students interested in running for the office of precinct delegate to the Democratic or Republican County Convention in the May 16 Presidential Primary must file pe-titions at the County Clerk's Off-ice by Friday, according to Hol-land City Clerk D. H. Schipper.

THE PETITION must contain the signatures of fifteen registered voters who reside in the precinct in which the candidate is running. The candidate must also be a registered voter in the precinct in which he or she is running.

The precinct delegate in Michi-gan plays a role in choosing his party 's candidate for president. The candidate for precinct dele-gate may run committed to any candidate he chooses or may run uncommitted if he so wishes.

IF THE presidential aspirant to whom the candidate is committed withdraws from the race prior to the May 16 primary, the candi-date's name will be placed on the ballot as uncommit ted.

If elected, the delegate will attend his party 's county conven-tion, which will probably be held late in May, according to Profes-sor of Political Science Alvin Van-derbush.

MOST CANDIDATES who run will be elected because many will be unopposed, Vanderbush said.

Students desiring further infor-mation may obtain it f rom Van-derbush. At present about ten students have indicated that they will run, Vanderbush said.

Academic Affairs Board okays eight courses by Molly Gates

The Academic Affairs Board approved six proposals Friday. The action added eight new courses, dropped seven, and changed the status of six others.

THE ENGLISH department will add Modern Drama in Eng-lish, Eng. 45, and The English Lyric, Eng. 67. Both are three hour courses. English 15, a fresh-man English course which hasn't been taught for two years, and English 64, Contemporary Drama, were dropped.

Practical Criticism, English 49, was changed from a two hour course to a three hour course. Shakespeare's Plays, English 59,

was changed from four hours credit t o three hours credit.

DR. JOHN Hollenbach, pro-fessor of English, commented, "The English major is now re-quired to study a major figure in literature. Now Shakespeare is four hours and all the others are only three hours. By making Shakespeare three hours, it fits in better with the other major fig-ures being of fered ."

He added that the possibility of offering a second or continued course (a six hour sequence) in Shakespeare would allow a broader study of the dramatist.

THE RELIGION department will add a course called Concep-tions of God. Dr. Arthur Jentz, professor of philosophy, reported

that the curriculum committee had passed this course af ter asking the religion department to outline their plans for the department .

There had been some discus-sion of the department 's apparent specialization. But, according to Jentz, the committee decided after hearing the religion depart-ment 's report that this .course "had its warrant in their scheme of things."

THE BOARD approved the sociology department 's proposal asking that Cultural Anthro-pology, Sociology 41, be accepted as fulfilling the social science core curriculum requirement. Jentz pointed out that Cultural Anthro-pology gives breadth in this field and is introductory in nature.

HOPE'S SYMPHONETTE, under the direction of Assistant Professor of Music Harrison Ryker, will begin its spring tour throughout the midwest later this week. The group will present a total of 16 concerts.

The AAB granted the biology department 's request to drop Bio-logy 90 and Biology I5x. Biology 90 is a one hour senior seminar; Biology I5x is a special section of introductory biology, designed specifically for the Sloan program.

JOHN STEWART, associate dean for academic affairs, noted that " the general concensus of three of the four hard science departments is that the Sloan pro-gram's outline of courses is no longer a valuable way of organ-izing courses for the science major ."

The theater department will offer an upper level non-credit Theater Forum. The course de-scription reads, "All theater majors will be required to take this course each semester they are on campus."

THE THEATER department will also cross-list Voice and Dic-tion, Communication 41, as Theater 41.

The economics and business administration department pre-sented a proposal termed " the result of a two year evaluation of the depar tment . " After much dis-cussion the AAB approved the entire proposal.

ECONOMIC Statistics will be moved from the economics de-partment to the business adminis-tration department and will be numbered Business Ad. 55, Busi-ness Ad. 71, Money and Capital, is a change in listing from Econ. 51, Money and Banking.

Five new courses were added to the depar tment ' s offerings. They are Economic Anthro-pology, Seminar in Economics, Marketing Communications, Inter-mediate Accounting, and Read-ings in Business.

ing and Marketing Communica-tion had been approved by the curriculum commit tee last semes-ter for one semester only. He added the Marketing Communica-tion is actually being taught now under the title of Readings in Economics.

The department will drop Labor Economics, Public Finance, and the two hour section of Read-ings in Economics.

THE BOARD'S discussion focused on a concern for the objectives of the department . Ste-wart said, "We need a document giving a description of what the total department is trying to do . "

Representing the depar tment , Neil DeBoer, instructor in econo-mics and business administration, pointed out the need for flexi-bility in a joint depar tment . He added that the goal of the current revisions is greater flexibility in meeting the divergent needs of the students in the department .

THE AAB DECIDED to ask the economics and business ad-ministration department to give Dean Rider a written statement of the department 's aim and objec-tives. This will also be used in the catalog presentation.

Stewart reminded the board that preparation of material for the new catalog is two weeks behind schedule. The deadline for the new course listings was March I.

Referring to a question from last week's meeting regarding de-partmental handling of senior honors 100 courses, chairman Brink named Dr. Richard Brock-meier, associate professor of physics, Stewart, and senior Dean Gentel to an ad hoc commit-tee to study this area. Brockmeier will serve as chairman for the group.

State statute void

City now without pot law Holland authorities are now

without means to prosecute per-sons possessing or selling marijua-na until new state drug control laws take effect April 1, according to Holland City Prosecuter Calvin Bosman.

THE LAPSE resulted when the Michigan Supreme Court declared state laws prohibiting the sale and use of marijuana unconstitutional.

The decision forced cities to rely on their own statutes. Hol-

land, explained Bosman, has no laws against marijuana use.

PERSONS SELLING or using cannabis brought across state lines are subject to federal laws, how-ever.

Bosman stated that he ex-pected charges now pending against marijuana offenders in the city to be dropped. He added, however, that officers have not been instructed to ignore mari-juana use.

MULTIPLE LEISURE SERVICES INC.

+ The Pub + Hollander Hotel + Loren's Spur Service + Von Ins Pizza + The Leisure Band = Leisure Is Happiness

THE HIGH court 's decision to reverse the conviction of John Sinclair for the use, possession, and sale of marijuana plunged many state officials into confu-sion regarding the legality of mari-juana possession during the three-week interim before wide-sweeping state drug law reform becomes effective April 1.

Mayor Roman Gribbs of De-troit and other municipal leaders instructed their law enforcement agencies to enforce municipal reg-ulations concerning the use of marijuana.

The course to be taken by some officials was not so clear-cut however. Bosman said, " I 'm just going to quietly sit on this until April 1. We can't exactly publicize the fact that marijuana is legal here."

Ms. Berkowitz, Philly consultant, to visit campus

Ms. Gisha Berkowitz, academic consultant to the GLCA Philadel-phia Urban Semester, will be on campus Wednesday and Thursday to meet with students interested in the program.

An informal meeting will be held at 6 :30 p.m. in Wichers auditorium. Ms. Berkowitz will spend the evening answering ques-tions and discussing the Philadel-phia semester.

Placement in the Philadelphia program is open to students in any discipline, in particular politi-cal science, communications, so-cial work, psychology, religion, education and biology, according to former participant Loree Schu-ster.

Protests war

SMC plans April marches Massive antiwar demonstra-

tions in New York City and Los Angeles are being planned by the Student Mobilization Commit tee for April 22.

PLANS FOR THE spring dem-onstrations grew out of the SMC's National Student Antiwar Confer-ence last Feb. 25-27, when partici-pants overwhelmingly endorsed the SMC's spring action proposal.

The group's stance is that the war, far f rom being de-escalated, is at an all t ime high level of intensity, and that massive dem-onstrations are the best strategy for getting the U.S. out of South-east Asia.

" IMMEDIATE, total, uncondi-tional withdrawal of all U.S. troops, planes, bombs and materi-el f rom Indochina ," is the SMC peace plan stated in its spring action proposal.

"We are the movement which is going to bring this war to an end , " the proposal adds.

THE SMC IS sponsoring an Indochina teach-in April 7 at

Sister Weekend. AWS also sponsored a fashion show Saturday morning Wayne State University as part of

Speakers for the teach-in in-clude Betty Friedan, former presi-dent of the National Organization for Women, and John Conyers, U.S. Congressman and a member of Congress' Black Caucus.

A NATIONAL high school speak-out against the war will take place April 19, when high school s tudents will stage strikes, rallies and picket lines. SMC supporters among the ranks of high school s tudents have also vowed to con-tinue the fight for their rights to organize against the war without

harassment f rom administrators. Ant iwar demonstra t ions are al-

so anticipated for April 22 in many foreign countries.

T H E WORLD Assembly for Peace and the Independence of Indochinese Peoples, held in Ver-sailles Feb. 11-13, called for worldwide demonstrat ions against the war this spring.

Leaders of Los Angeles' Chica-no communi ty are also working to build a large contingent for the April 22 demonstrat ion in that city.

Aids recruitment

Slide program completed by Marjorie DeKam

A "sof t sell" slide and sound presentat ion, part of an e f fo r t to develop a new image of Hope for use in recruiting s tudents , has been completed in an independent study in communicat ion by senior Dale Reed and junior Rob Bench-ley.

COMMUNICATION Depart-ment Chairman Dr. John Hopkins described the project as part of a total package for changing the approach to recrui tment . The pro-ject, begun last summer, includes a Hope poster and brochure created by Reed and Gretchen Straw.

Hopkins said the independent study is intended to give s tudents practical application of theories and skills learned in communica-tion courses.

HE SAID THAT most impor-tant was the decision-making pro-cess used: the team work, prob-lem solving, research and investi-gation of alternatives. The actual public relations campaign is merely the end product of the whole process, Hopkins indicated.

He stressed that the program is educationally sound, fun for the s tudents , and beneficial fo r the college. Reed agreed, and men-tioned that a s tudent-produced

PR campaign presents a more ac-curate picture of H o p e - a stu-dent 's view.

REED SAID the purpose of the new image presented by the slides is " t o whet the s tudent ' s appeti te , and set a mood, using the soft touch: it 's not to relay information and facts about the college, as in the catalog."

He said no one segment of Hope was s t ressed- ra ther , the slides try to show an overall view of the college, with opportuni t ies for s tudent involvement.

REED AND Benchley began work on the project at the end of the fall semester, and completed it in five weeks. According to Reed, they used the basic dialogue f rom the admission brochure which he wrote last summer.

They then compiled slides to fit the dialogue. Benchley directed the photography and recorded the narration on cassette.

REED EXPLAINED that ad-mission counselors have about a half hour to talk to students at each high school. "We thought the slides would be a good introduc-tion for about 13 minutes, and the rest of the t ime could be used in discussion," he said.

The slide presentation has been sent to Denver for use by Director of Admissions Tom LaBaugh.

Upon returning, the Admissions Office, Reed and Benchley will evaluate the responses and feed-back to the slides.

Reed said the program will be under continual development and revision until June, and as the slides become out-moded every year or so they will be changed.

Dr. Nevin S. Scrimshaw, pro-fessor of nutr i t ion at the Massa-chusetts Inst i tute of Technology, will present a lecture entit led "The Significance of Protein in Human Nut r i t ion" March 28 at 8 p.m. in Wichers Audi tor ium.

Scrimshaw, chairman of the depar tment of nutr i t ion and food science at M.I.T., is 1971-72 na-tional lecturer for the Society of the Sigma Xi.

Research conducted by Scrim-shaw has been in the areas of physiology of development, nu-trient requirements, nutr ient metabolism, vitamin assay, treat-ment and prevention of kwashior-ker (a children's disease caused by protein deficiency) and t rea tment of endemic goiter.

Scrimshaw directs the Inst i tute of Nutri t ion of Central America and Panama (INCAP) as well as several o ther national and inter-national nutr i t ion organizations. He has also done research on the relationship of nutr i t ion to com-plications of pregnancy.

Lottery call to reach 15 in next two months

The nat ion 's draf t boards have been directed to order men born in 1952 who have lottery numbers one through 15 to report for Army duty on dates f rom mid-April through May 31, according to an article in the March 16 issue of the Grand Rapids Press.

D R A F T DIRECTOR Curtis W. Tarr Thursday directed his 4 ,100 draf t boards to initiate the call-up to fill most of the 15,000-man request for April, May and June.

Last week's anchor included an article by the College Press Service which announced that men would be draf ted into the Army Reserves and the National Guard. To the anchor's chagrin, the CPS has informed its subscribers that the story was a hoax.

HOWEVER, national officials

Selective Service officials esti-mate that between 11,000 and 12,000 men will be called into service in April and May of this year. The call will involve those classed 1A or 1AO (conscientious objectors willing t o accept non-combat military duty) . These men obtained their numbers in the lottery held last August.

THE SSS REPORTS that a small number of older men who have lost deferments since Jan. 1 or whose initial pos tponement of induction expires in April or May will be called up. Tarr directed local boards to inform men classed 10 (conscientious objector not willing to do noncombat mili-tary duty) , who were born in 1952 and have numbers one

Tarr explained that the exact number of men to be called up in April and May is uncertain be-cause this is the first t ime that the Uniform National Call will be used.

The final list of candidates to compete in Michigan's May 16 presidential primary, completed last Friday, includes seven Demo-crats and two Republicans.

DEMOCRATS who had placed their names on the ballot by midnight Friday include Rep. Shirley Chisholm of New York Sen. Hubert Humphrey of Minne-sota, Alabama Governor George Wallace, Sen. Henry Jackson of Washington, South Dakota sen-ator George McGovern, Sen. Ed-mund Muskie of Maine and Sen. Vance Hartke of Indiana.

Notably absent f rom the Dem-ocratic slate are New York Mayor John Lindsay and Sen Eugene McCarthy of Minnesota.

PRESIDENT' Richard Nixon and Sen. Paul McCloskey of Cali-fornia will fight for the Repub-lican votes.

Voters in the primary will select both presidential candidates and precinct delegates commit ted to the candidates. Voters will also have the opt ion of casting ballots for uncommit ted delegates.

Spring 'Opus' issue to appear after vacation

Submissions for a new issue of Hope's s tudent literary magazine, the Opus, are being accepted through March 28. The issue will probably be published April 21, according to editor Steve Farrar.

Besides poems and short stories, small pen and ink draw-ings are wanted for the new issue, Farrar said. He indicated that some material previously sub-mitted but not included in the issue which appeared Feb. 29 will appear in the April edition.

Farrar hopes also to include the results of an evaluation of material in the Opus by Eerd-man's Publishing Company of Grand Rapids.

Material appearing in both issues of the magazine will be judged for its artistic merit and the best pieces will be cited, Far-rar said.

CANDIDATES will claim Michigan delegates at the national party conventions in proport ion to the number of votes they win in the primary. Delegates will be bound to their candidates through the second ballot at the conven-tions.

The law which set the primary

stipulates that candidates who col-lect less than five percent of the statewide popular voe will be guaranteed no delegates.

The primary will be " o p e n " in tha t voters who are not registered par ty members will be allowed to participate.

An early endorsement SAYS' t u b e ' s no pourid/)L u f J / r y //J

A series of political developments in the past two weeks has brought home to voters the seriousness of the issues in the up-coming presidential campaign and has con-fronted them with the choice whether to play an active role in the selection of candidates and issues.

The victory of Alabama Governor George Wallace in the Florida Primary, President Nixon's anti-busing proposal, finalization of the slate of candidates in Michigan's May 16 primary and the an-nouncement of the March 24 deadline for

the f i l ing of the pet i t ions for precinct

delegate candidates: these developments have signaled, t o Michigan voters and to

Hope students in part icular, the necessity of serious prel iminary consideration of the

presidential candidates. An evaluation of the hopefuls in the

Michigan pr imary leads to the conclusion that New York Representative Shirley Chi-

sholm is the on ly authent ic pol i t ical can-

didate in the race. A look at the other

candidates wi l l c lar i fy the reasons for this

conclusion. President Nixon 's recommended mora-

to r ium on busing indicates that he is

wi l l ing to sacrifice the welfare of large

groups of individuals in order t o insure

poli t ical success. A n y man who is w i l l i ng to

spend t w o and one half b i l l ion dollars to

create a de facto J im Crow educational

structure to insure himself the votes of an

increasingly conservative American publ ic

is hardly a man to inspire t rust .

The recent v ic tory of George Wallace in Florida indicates that the Alabama gov-

ernor can sti l l draw strong support . Even

the most naive pol i t ical observer wou ld be

hard pressed to demonstrate that Wallace's

victory represents a protest vote on the

part of the American publ ic. The policies

of Governor Wallace speak for themselves;

he is a demigod whose pol i t ical career was born in racism and nur tured on fear and

hate. The remainder of the Democratic can-

didates resemble a group of bickering children more than a group of responsible

polit ical figures, a l though not all are to ta l l y

without merit. Their common fault is that Instead of addressing the key issues of the day or attacking the man they hope to depose in 1972, the candidates have satis-fied themselves with internecine warfare and guarded political rhetoric.

Perhaps the best way to characterize the

dif ference between Shirley Chisholm and

the rest of the Democratic candidates is

gr i ty is generally a rar i ty in the t w o major

American pol i t ical parties. Mrs. Chisholm, whi le maintaining a ser-

pol i t ical consistency. Her campaign is an

at tempt to keep issues in the l imel ight

rather than to bury them in rhetorical

obscur i ty . In this sense she represents a

new breed of pol i t ic ian: she is a candidate who concerns herself w i t h the pol i t ical

sensibilities o f her const i tuency more than w i t h w inn ing the support of Democrat ic

party hacks.

However, Mrs. Chisholms's chances of success in the state pr imary are small.

Alcohol again McGraio-Hill trouble This year, w i t h the barrier of state law

removed, l iquor appears to have been even

more in evidence at some f ra tern i ty rush events than in previous years. The fra-

ternit ies' disregard of college rules pro-h ib i t ing consumpt ion of alcohol at college

sactioned events is almost equalled by the

deans' seeming will ingness to overlook

their infract ions.

In its superficial disposal of the dr ink ing

question last semester, the C L B ignored the

obvious possibi l i ty of problems arising re-

garding enforcement of college regulations at off-campus college sanctioned funct ions.

With the integr i ty of the present dr ink-ing rules irremediably compromised, as in

this instance, by lack of enforcement, the

need for new alcohol policies is clear. The CLB should begin a second — and this t ime

serious - evaluation of the college's regula-

t ions.

GLCA, AUB defended Last week's anchor issue carried an open

letter f rom three Hope students presently in the GLCA Junior Year program in Beirut. Whereas the letter does call atten-tion to some of the genuine problems and tensions that exist in Beirut, its analysis of the causes for these problems and tensions are overly simplistic and its judgments of the motivations of the American University administration and the persons in the GLCA responsible Tor the program are harsh and inaccurate. x

I happen to be chairman of the GLCA Advisory Committee on Middle East pro-grams, and I can testify to the many hours

i S i i

••-2V-

of concerned discussions that have been held about continuation of the program in Beirut. Lebanon and the American Univer-sity of Beirut face troublesome issues.

Efforts have in the past been made and will continue to be made in the future to provide a fair picture of the current scene so that a student may make a mature judgment as to whether this is a proper educational experience for him.

My own recommendation to applicants is that they do correspond with the stu-dents now in Beirut, but that they not limit themselves to that source, but talk with the students presently on campus who have been in the Beirut program, Larry White and Jim Moore, and with Dr. Fried and myself, who may have some additional perceptions. The true picture of the pro-gram and the experience in Beirut will never be given - one simply has to experience it. But one can get the feel of it by getting a variety of perceptions.

Incidentally, there may be some unfore-seen incident or incidents which may cause cancellation of the program. (This is the explosive Middle East.) But as far as the GLCA and the American University of

Beirut are concerned, there is definite agreement on continuing the program next year.

Caveat emptor As a recent graudate of Hope I feel a

responsibility to warn those who remain behind me about a hazard which lies beside the road leading out of college life. It looms in the form of insurance policies designed for college students. If you ' re a senior or over 21, chances are you've already been contacted on that subject, but if you haven't , please read fur ther .

As one person who bought and regrets it, let me say that it 's not as good a deal as the agent would like you to believe. He will probably imply that you can get your first year premium on credit, but it's not all that simple.

When you do sign you sign a legally binding promissory note which the insur-ance company will later sell to a finance company. The annual interest on that note can be 6 to 8 percent or more. Some even charge interest on the interest!

With the cost of education so high, students have to hang on to every penny they can get. The last thing college stu-dents need is life insurance. But college students are prime targets for insurance peddlers. Most of us are distant from parental advice and quite unwilling to admit, even to ourselves, our ignorance of financial matters. Those two factors are the choice fuels upon which the insurance agents operate.

So caveat emptor if you should be visited by one of these very convincing gentlemen. He will probably try to per-suade you of the great savings you'll make by buying insurance early in life and then produce a long list of acquaintances who have bought before you (it might even include my name). But don't let this bother you. Your best bet is to firmly send this man on his way.

The great publishing house of McGraw-Hill has had enough nightmares in the past year to last them for a decade. First they got caught with their advances down in the Clifford Irving-Howard Hughes fiasco. Then it was revealed last week that one of their best-selling authors, a 101-year-old Indian named Chief Red Fox, stole a large chunk from a book by another author , James McGregor, and included it in his diary which he published under the title of "The Memoirs of Red Fox . "

BECAUSE OF THIS McGraw-Hill had to pay a sum of money to the McGregor heirs to settle a plagiarism suit.

It must be very trying times at the publishing house these days and 1 can imagine the confusion reigning in the edi-tors' office.

"Okay, who's the wise guy who didn't check out the redskin's s tory?"

"LOOK, AN INDIAN comes into my office in full headdress. He's 101 years old and he says he's a former chief of the Sioux tribe, and he's written his memoirs by hand. What am 1 going to do - call him a liar?"

"You could have at least checked out the manuscript with somebody who knew something about the Sioux Indians."

"I checked his handwriting. It was an authentic diary. Every word in it he wrote himself."

"INCLUDING THE 12,000 words he swiped from McGregor's T h e Wounded Knee Massacre'!"

"I realize it looks bad in retrospect but how was I to know he would steal all that stuff out of somebody else's book? After all, that 's a lot of copying for a 100-year-old man to do . "

"Well, it puts us in a sorry mess coming right after the Irving book. What do we do now?"

"PERHAPS WE COULD make some capital out of it. Maybe we could say we were fooled by Chief Red Fox because he

showed us handwrit ten letters from Sitting Bull which turned out to be forgeries."

"Tha t ' s a possibility. If we could only find some women Red Fox was tied in with, it would make us look bet te r . "

"Gent lemen, we've checked into Chief Red Fox 's sex life and because of the age differential, he's no Clifford Irving."

" T H E R E ' S GOT TO BE a Nina Van Pallandt on one of those Indian reserva-tions he wrote abou t . "

"We couldn' t even find a scuba diver at Little Big Horn."

"What about the Swiss banks? Do they have any accounts in the name of Helga R. Red F o x ? "

"WE LOOKED INTO that. As far as we know Chief Red Fox pulled off this caper all by himself. The question is why would an Indian do that to the white man?"

"I know this sounds far out, but sup-pose Chief Red Fox is really Howard Hughes?"

"What if he were?" "I t would be a great way for Hughes to

get revenge on us." " I t ' s a possibility. Irving said when he

saw Hughes he did look like an Indian."

"BUT HAVEN'T YOU forgotten? Irving never saw Howard Hughes."

"He never saw Chief Red Fox either." "Gent lemen, gentlemen. There is a cred-

ibility problem here, and I don ' t think we're facing up to it. I believe what we should do is announce to the press that we were taken in by a 41-year-old swinger f rom Ibiza and a 101-year-old Sioux Indian from Wounded Knee, but it will never happen again."

"Good idea." "Sir, there's a man outside in a U.S.

Cavalry suit who says he's Gen. Custer and he would like to sell us his memoirs ."

"Well, buy them for heaven's sake. This may finally be the big book we've been waiting fo r . "

Brilliant Falstaff highlights Editor's note: The theater depart-ment's production of Merry Wives of Windsor is reviewed by Glen Peterson, an active member of the Grand Rapids Civic Theater and of the experimental theater, Stage-3, in Grand Rapids.

honi soil qui mal y pense

Last Thursday night, Shakes-peare's Merry Wives of Windsor opened in the main aud i to r ium of the DeWitt Cultural Center . It was, overall, an excellent pro-duct ion, and a credi t to the thea-ter depa r tmen t and the college.

ANY DISCUSSION of a per-formance of Merry Wives is, ap-parently, inseparable f rom a men-tion of the au thorsh ip and the tradit ion of the play. The tradi-tion is that Merry Wives was com-missioned by Queen El izabeth , who, charmed by the character of Falstaff in Henry IV, now wanted to see him in love.

Fur the r , to comple te the play in t ime for a banque t of the Order of the Garter at Windsor, Shakes-peare was given two weeks to complete the task. The t ru th of this t radi t ion has yet to be deter-mined, a f t e r many books , disserta-tions, and 270 years of a rgument . (Nobody thought t o discuss these t radi t ions until about 1700, at least 100 years a f t e r the play was wri t ten.)

FOR THE sake of our dis-cussion, we are assuming that Shakespeare wrote at least a large part of the play, and we are concerned more with the produc-tion than the original quar tos and folios.

Thursday night , the Eliza-bethan stage was set, somehow successfully, with some non-* Elizabethan in t roduc to ry music, and an except ional ly well-done

Tour selections to be offered by symphonette

The s y m p h o n e t t e , under the direction of Assistant Professor of Music Harrison Ryker , will pre-sent a concert T o m o r r o w night at 8 :15 in Dimnent Chapel .

Baritone soloist Carroll Leh-man, assistant professor of music, will pe r form Bach's Cantata No. 82. Ins t rumenta l pieces included in the program will be "Varia-cones Conce r t an t e s " by con tem-porary Argentine composer Al-ber to Ginastera and four dances f rom "Glo r i ana" by Benjamin Britten.

All of the concer t selections will also be pe r fo rmed during the symphone t t e ' s upcoming midwes-tern tour .

series of tableaus depict ing the moods of the p lay.

THE PLOT IS typically intri-cate. Sir John Falstaff ( Jon Cran-ney) in an incredibly unimagin-ative move, wi th two identical letters, declares his love for t w o merry and married wives of Wind-sor. Mistress Page (Vicki Weid-man) and Mistress Ford (Margaret Rose) are such good friends that they might have been married to each o the r .

They share their letters, and immediately begin to plot revenge on poor Fals taff . They arrange three meetings, all three of which are sabatoged, with the in tent ion of humiliat ing Sir John .

BUT THE three rogues, Bar-dolf, N y m , and Pistol (Doug Neumann , Earl Curry , and David Smi th -Greenwood) have put bugs in the ears of Masters Page and Ford (Michael Boonstra and David Bast). Ford has a violent react ion, suspects his wife, visits Falstaff in disguise as one who also loves Mistress Ford , and sets a plot to test his wife 's f ideli ty. Much calmer. Master Page cont inues to sketch the count rys ide .

A ma jo r sub-plot is the involve-ment of Doc tor Caius (Garret t DeGraf f ) and his maid, Mistress Quickly ( Joanne Kornoelje) , w h o is t ry ing to press three suits of love fo r Page's daughter , Anne (Connie Demos) .

IT 'S ALL great sport , and climaxes in a hilarious scene in the forest , with fairies, elves, a horny stag chasing does, and some lovers finding each o the r , but most ly not , "When night dogs run, all sorts of deer are chased." The mist clears, and Falstaff is not the only fool . Those who do the plot t ing and scheming get their come-uppin 's , and we all rejoice in a reconcil iat ion that includes Sir John.

The opening per formance was carried by a comple te ly engaging character izat ion of Falstaff . Every move, gesture, facial expression, and, most impor t an t ly , the deli-very of every line, bore the mark of a professional . He received some help f rom the rest of the cast, of course.

NOTABLY, Mistresses Ford and Page were convincing as the capricious wives of Windsor. The character of Sir Hugh Evans was enhanced by Don Finn 's under-standing of the r h y t h m and joy of the lines, someth ing missing in most of the o t h e r roles.

Mistress Quickly, the bawdy coun t ry woman of Henry IV, was played very successfully as a lighter, sassier, irrepressible /a. Garret DeGraff created a con-vincing character in Doctor Caius,

Class of '72 to receive magazine from alumni

'Merry Wives'

FALSTAFF (Jon Cranney) harangues a pensive Pistol (David Smith) in this scene from "The Merry Wives of Windsor." Three more perfor-mances are scheduled this week.

Members of the class of ' 7 2 will receive The Graduate, an annual handbook /magaz ine for college seniors, as a gif t of the Alumni Associat ion.

The Graduate, published by the Approach 13 30 Corpora t ion of Knoxville, Tenn . , is an a t t e m p t to provide college seniors with in format ion to help them cope with the change to a non-academic env i ronment .

Articles in the ' 7 2 issue include " Jus t What Is a Life S ty le?" , in

which nine young people talk about their life styles, "The 1972 Poor Gradua te ' s Real World Cata-log," and " U p the Organizat ion, Down the Organiza t ion ," by Rober t Townsend .

T h e magazine also conta ins a section enti t led "Opera t ion Feed-back , " in which recent graduates describe their react ions to their college experiences.

Delivery of The Graduate will be made to campus addresses be-fore spring recess.

but was unintelligible mos t of the t ime.

DAVID BAST, on the o the r hand, did very well in delivering the lines of his large role, but never got in to the charac te r of Master Ford . This was especially noticeable in his ou tbu r s t s of rage.

A few of the smaller roles deserve special men t ion , most notably that of Brad Williams as Rugby and Tim Walters as Shal-low. Slender (Daniel Reeverts) was especially enjoyable in his fumbl ing a t t e m p t s at cour t ing Anne Page, and in his chagrin at discovering he had almost married something less desirable than Anne - who was, indeed, desir-able.

THE ROLES of Pistol, Nym, and Bardolf were underdeveloped, and the good role of the Host was neutralized by his swallowing most of his lines.

And it 's at that point - the lines - that the play suffered the most . The lines were not fondled , loved, savored. Without captur ing the love of the language itself, much is lost.

TECHNICALLY, the produc-tion is beaut i fu l . Everything about the design and the staging added to the e n j o y m e n t of the perfor-mance - unobt rus ive , effect ive lighting, fluid staging, the graphic design by Brad Williams, a well-trained dog (who , for some rea-son, was not listed in the cast of characters) , a prop f lower, and even the fu rn i tu re .

And the cos tumes. David Chap-pell does it again. Seeing the cos tumes alone is wor th the price of the t icket . Chappel l ' s genius is especially obvious in the scene with the fairies and elves.

The duchess in Alice in Won-derland said, "Every th ing ' s got a moral , if only you can f ind i t . " Merry Wives, t oo , has a moral . Go see the show, at least once , and see if you can find it.

The meaning of the cross by Dr. Sang Lee

SPONSORED

BY THE

M I N I S T R Y

OF CHRIST'S

P E O P L E

The cross, or the event of the cruci f ix ion of Christ , has many meanings to those who see it as a revelatory event . One of these meanings is its significance as a Christ ian principle of radical criticism. By radical crit icism, 1 mean the a t t i tude and act of unceasing re-evaluation of all human concepts abou t ul t imate reality and the worlds in which men live.

I R E F E R TO AN awareness of the intrinsic insufficiency of all human (even theological) though t . The cross, or God ' s own act of taking evil and suffer ing in to his own life, calls in to quest ion our usual concep t ions about evil, the goodness of God , and the power of God .

The cross shat ters our usual unders tandings about evil. Our mot ivat ions and decisions are shaped and de te rmined by our habitual associat ions of ideas, or by our pre-conscious unders tandings about things a round us. On that and o ther levels of our mental life, we habitual ly def ine evil as a particular ideology, a part icular people , or whatever we may find repugnant .

EVIL HAS ALSO BEEN associated by philoso-phers and theologians, with " m a t t e r , " " the f lesh ," " t h e secular ," or the " n o n - e n t i t y . " These and all o ther human def ini t ions of evil are called into quest ion by God ' s act of taking evil into his own life and existence on the cross. Christ , and , therefore , God , took in to his own life what we most readily label as evil - malevolence, jealousy, violence, etc. Then , all of our over-simplified def in i t ions of , and programs and policies against, "evils" are judged to be insuff ic ient .

The cross, for the same reasons, calls into quest ion our usual concep t ions about God ' s good-ness. If God , the source of the highest good, allowed dea th , suffer ing and discouragement in his own life, his goodness surely must be someth ing more than our usual unders tanding of it - namely , our concept ion of God ' s goodness as the source of heal th, prosper i ty and human fu l f i l lment . Slogans nowadays read: "Smile - God loves y o u , " and

"Things go be t te r with Chr i s t . " The ques t ion is what it means to be " l o v e d " by God , and what it means for things to go " b e t t e r . "

end of tape THE CROSS ALSO S H A T T E R S our usual under-

standing of the word " p o w e r . " We o f t en ask, Why does the God of power allow evil and pain in his world? The cross shows that to ask the ques t ion in this manner is to misunders tand the real na ture of God ' s power . Against our usual def ini t ion of power as brute , coercive force, the cross exhibi ts God ' s power ( thus , the real power) as the power of self-expending service or self-giving love.

Chris t ' s unpro tes t ing endurance of suf fer ing and pain on the cross, then , is not to be seen as the mani fes ta t ion of his weakness but ra ther as the exercise of his power . The resurrect ion three days later conf i rms and comple tes that exercise. In this way, the cross shat ters our habi tual unders tand ing about power and challenges our self-defeat ing alle-giances to all fo rms of coercive power .

THE CROSS, AS T H E cross of the au tho r and the pioneer of our fa i th , does indeed move its fol lowers to make a f f i rmat ions - e.g., that God is self-expending compass ion, that God takes pain into himself to reconcile his mercy with his just ice, that the God who spoke to Job out of the whirlwind now stands with Job in the lat ter 's own world of suffer ing and bewi lderment , etc.

The cross, at the same time, makes ano the r d e m a n d : the demand that its fol lowers realize the insuff ic iency and open-endedness of all of their human conep tua l fo rmula t ions about their af f i rma-tions, and of all of their ethical implemen ta t ions of those a f f i rmat ions .

While the cross judges all human ideologies and sciences as not absolute , the cross especially calls upon all theological fo rmula t ions to judge against themselves, because an essential f u n c t i o n of any theology that serves Christ of the cross is precisely to point to its own open-endedness . T h e cross, in shor t , calls us b o t h to a f f i rm believefully and also to evaluate radically.

anchor review

'Beneath the WheeV examines educational system Editor's note: This week's anchor critique is written by senior En-glish major David VanDonkelaar. He reviews Beneath the Wheel, by Hermann Hesse, translated by Michael Roloff (Bantam Books, $1.95).

When an educational system devotes all its energies to filling the heads of students with know-

German comedy to be presented early next week

German conversation students will present a three act comedy in German next Monday and Tues-day in the studio theater of the DeWitt Cultural Center.

Monday's performance, for area high school students, will be at 2 :30 p.m. and Tuesday's, for Hope's German students, will be at 8 p.m.

The play, "Hokus Pokus" by Kurt Goetz, is being staged as a class project and learning experi-ence by students in the German Language II class, instructed by Werner Heine, associate professor of German.

English and theater major Mari-lyn Ray is directing the produc-tion, and students Brigitte March-er and Martha Blocksma are assist-ing with pronunciat ion and pro-duction.

"Hokus Pokus" involves the trial and acquittal of a woman accused of murdering her hus-band. Supposedly, the heroine al-so has a secret lover whose identi-ty she refuses to disclose.

In the end, the entire scheme is discovered to be a hoax, perpe-trated by the woman and her very much alive husband.

Admission is free and open to the public.

ledge, to the total exclusion of their personal needs, it fails those students (as well as the society it pretends to serve).

THE FINAL product can only be monsters expert in the fields they studied but unable to re-spond on the emotional level re-quired of interacting human beings.

Beneath the Wheel, Hermann Hesse's second novel, traces the effects of an inhuman educational system on a young boy who, possessed of surpassing intelli-gence and a driving will to learn, is a model s tudent for his teachers, who hope to be responsible for the sensitive man's ultimate suc-cess.

AT FOURTEEN Hans Gieben-rath places second in a state ex-amination and is allowed to at-tend the Academy, to prepare for a career as a pastor or teacher. He looks forward to the summer va-cation separating the time of the examination and the start of school at the academy as a time when he can leisurely spend his time fishing, swimming and re-laxing.

His pastor and principal, how-ever, decide that the time should be spent in fur ther preparation for the academic life and tutor him in Greek, Hebrew and mathematics.

THE RESULT of Hans' badly balanced education is an inability to cope with situations involving human contact and emotional in-volvement.

At the academy young Hans meets his spiritual antithesis, Her-mann Heilner, a defiant poet who escapes through his art and a rejection of the system. Hans' first emotional contact starts him on the road t o destruction, and he loses his ability to study, even-tually leaving the institution af ter a breakdown.

FOLLOWING his convales-cence Hans has two more emo-tional encounters: one with a young lady, the other with new friends while apprenticed to a mechanic. In his final humiliation at being unable to cope with these experiences, Hans ends his short life in the river.

At the graveside the pastor comments to the principal: ' i s n ' t it a shame that one has so much bad luck with the best of t hem?"

"NO ONE. . . detected behind the slight boy's helpless smile the

suffering of a drowned soul cast-ing about desperately. Nor did it occur to any of them that a fragile creature had been reduced to this state by virtue of school and the barbaric ambition of his father and his grammar-school teacher.

"Why was he forced to work until late at night during the most sensitive and precarious period of his life? Why purposely alienated f rom his friends in grammar school? Why deprived of needed rest and forbidden to go fishing? Why instilled with a shabby ambi-tion? Why had they not even

granted him his well-deserved va-cation af ter the examinat ion?"

ALTHOUGH Beneath the Wheel does not display the polish and control of Hesse' later novels, it is strongly autobiographical and could not fail to express the sensi-bilities of the remarkable writer.

It should be read both for an insight into Hesse's background and for a look at what calloused institutionalization can to to sen-sitive people "crushed beneath the wheel." It is a novel of and for our times.

Hope liquor rules violated continued from page I

DeYoung indicated that his of-fice was "not aware that it has happened." If sure that a violation of the rules had taken place, DeYoung said, the offending fra-ternity would be confronted , and the judicial board would make the final decision.

"OUR FIRST hope is that the fraternities are honorable enough to police themselves," DeYoung stated. "We work on that basis."

Some other fraternities were more cautious, allowing party-goers to buy their own drinks if they so desired, but not actually providing a bar in the party.

FRATER CHRIS Gouyd sta-ted, "We figured if people wanted to drink, they could buy because they were of age, but we didn' t supply i t ."

A spokesman for Coral Gables in Saugatuck reported that the Fraters did not have a bar in their party. However, waitresses took orders for drinks and served them in the room.

MEMBERS OF the Centurian fraternity refused to comment as to whether alcohol was served at any rush parties, stating that the anchor would have to contact their president. The president was unavailable for comment .

"We are not so naive to think that drinking does not go on , " DeYoung commented. However,

he added, sufficient evidence that a fraternity has violated college regulations must exist before his office would take action against the offenders.

Associate Dean of Students Michael Gerrie denied knowledge of any fraternity violations and refused further comment .

A day in the child development

center: a Hope student's dream by Tom Siderius

As the solid oak doors of Third Reformed Church slowly creaked shut behind me, the expected hush of the church was broken, shattered by the sounds of child-ren at play.

I FOLLOWED the sound up the stairs to find what appeared to be a nursery school out of con-trol. Surely the teachers had been the victims of a coup d 'e ta t . But no, the teachers were there, watching over their charges like patient sheep dogs with a flock of lambs.

Quickly and with conf idence born of long practice, one of the adults detached herself f rom three exuberant three-year-olds and walked over to greet me. She was Holly Neumann, director of the center and specifically in charge of the three-year-olds' class.

AFTER reassuring me that things were not always this riot-ous, she explained that this was the morning play period. Children were zooming around on wheeled toys or hanging f rom the monkey bars in a display of early morning energy shocking to a college stu-dent with a case of the eight o'clock fuzzies.

Presently the whole crew of this rollicking ship was rounded up and marched off to breakfast . There we were served an excellent meal by the center 's cook, Mrs. Darlene Graves, known to all as "Cooke r . " During the meal I be-gan to perceive that there was indeed some order in this assemb-lage of children and adults.

WITH THE HELP of an adult at each table, breakfast was com-pleted and we returned to our

classrooms to begin the "activity period."

Eagerly 1 looked to find what onslaughts upon sensibility our teacher would put up with today. The number of possible activities overwhelmed me. 1 could make vegetable prints, fingerpaint fin-gerpaintings, or play in soap suds.

PAINTED masterpieces soon appeared in the hallway to dry, while the toy dishes were washed cleaner than the day they were made. A few minor altercations flaired up in the soap suds tray, but with the help of our teacher everything came out dry.

After we had cleaned the paint from the table and the suds f rom the floor, it was quiet t ime in the center. We read Dr. Seuss and Little Red Riding Hood\ bo th selections were satisfactory to the audience.

NEXT I WAS chosen by a good fairy as one of the few to go on a short trip TO THE PET STORE!! Before you could say "One fish, two fish, red fish, blue f ish" we had our coats on and were on our way to the pet store with Bob Alexander, teacher in the four-year-olds' class.

At the store we were allowed to wander among the cages and tanks while Bob bought our fish some food. With my fellow travel-ers I examined Black Mollies, Goldfish and numerous other aquatic species 1 had never seen before.

BUT ALL TOO soon our per-iod of self-indulgence at the pet store came to an end. Quieter now than when we left , we bid farewell to the zookeeper and returned to the church.

Close to lunchtime now, we lined up in straight rows and once

more returned to our meal room. I looked eagerly to see what " C o o k e r " had prepared for us.

NOT DISAPPOINTED in the least, we ate heartily of our por-tions and there was good cheer and humor at all tables. After-wards we headed upstairs to take our a f te rnoon naps.

Bob and Holly directed us into the sleeping rooms and tucked our willing bodies and rebelling minds into our cots for an hour 's nap.

IT SEEMED as though my eyes had just closed and my mind had barely turned off when Bob came in and announced that our bus was ready and our day had come to an end. I bid farewell to my newly-made friends, and joined the others on our little yellow bus.

As each stop was made our numbers grew smaller and smaller, until it was my turn to debark. With sadness in my heart and my fingerpainting in hand, 1 waved goodby to the bus driver and slowly returned to the reality of college housing.

ALL IN ALL it had been an enjoyable day. The fantasy of returning to my lost childhood for even one day made me wish that 1 had never grown up or gone to college with its academic atmos-phere and structured life.

1 returned to my room and slowly opened my copy of Child Development and wondered if the authors knew what it was really like to be a child. They probably do; all of us are allowed to be children if even for only a few years.

If you ever feel like forgetting your college responsibilities, head for the center and see if a re-freshing day doesn' t ensue.
