Duncan to be guest dancer

DANCE II THE MUSIC—A dance concert will be presented in DeWitt Student Center on April 9 and 10.

Jeff Duncan, founder of New York's Dance Theater Workshop, will be guest artist choreographer and dancer for Dance II, a concert to be presented at the DeWitt Cultural Center on the Hope campus April 9 and 10.

Notes from out from under Holland by Rich Williams

As a former student at Hope I have that unique pleasure of being able to address you as one who now "knows", or as the sheepskin says "my favorite gnosis." How better to explain, then, my recent transformation from undergradu-ate to graduate siudent, in a year of bicentennial pornography and the presidential frog races, (aw come on hippity-hoppity jump in or jump out!), then to ap-proach my current revelations ynth revivalistic fervor and politi-cal mechanismus.

Being Americans you will re-member that great debate be-tween the Republicans led by the stalwart, and shifty Hamilton who stood for the ruling elite, and Jefferson who led his motly crew of anarchists and French-sym-pathizers to pure \ democratic stands, (watch NET T.V.'s Adams Chronicles and you learn this stuff), and the end triumph of the Jeffersonians.

What you may not realize is the long and glorious tradition of this stream of thought which has been absent from the American scene for almost a half of a century. »

The word anarchist has v dropped from our language. Even

during the 'days of rage' and the Chicago riots the general scene was characterized by "anarchy" but nobody was accused of being an anarchist. A commie, a hippie faggot maybe, and heavens, some-times the invocation of SO-CIALIST was used summing up all the alien, degenerative elements that manifest themselves between the two chickens in every pot.

Jefferson's work and the orthodizers that followed are more remembered for the codi-fication of law, rightly or

wrongly, rather than his stance against the tyranny of the elite. He believed in the ruling of the 'people' in the full sense of that word

One of the few places the Jeffersonian format of democracy took root and is still essential in the fabric of the community is in New England, especially Vermont, where the Town Meeting gathers together the entire city and each person gives full reign to their oratory abilities on all the issues.

But New England has always been a hotbed of radicalism Just look at the collection of crazed individuals who took hold of the American conscience right after the revival of the Second Great Awakening in the early to mid 1800s. All of them exhibited tendencies of individualism, crea-tive imaginations, adventuresome spirits, and even took it upon themselves to read other coun-tries' literature, such as German Philosophers and Asian Mystics; absolutely seditionistic.

Some of them formed a secret club called the Transcendentalists. There were people like Thoreau who ran around in the woods with only the animals, or a guy named Emerson who had problems with and Oversoul that linked him with the universe.

Most of us never come in contact with men like this any-more. It's not part of the educational program on any level except on a peripheral basis like this article. What is ironic is that these people are fundamental to American thought but by today's standards are such that their ideas are labeled naivete or old fash-ioned and eliminated from our educational repertory digestion.

But where does this line of

thought take us today? Is there a platform, a party which represents the American Spirit of the past? Well, maybe you didn't ask that but I'm going to tell you anyway.

The Libertarian Party was formed four years ago in Colorado and included participants from right and left wing philosophies. Guy Riggs, a delegate to the recent Libertarian Party conven-tion, opened the meeting the first day with these words, "In your own self-interest you should deny the government the right to deny life and property to any individ-ual. These rights are part of the United States Constitution. Yet we have been led to believe that free men cannot be trusted to defend themselves, be moral, decent, or benevolent.

"No man can be your rightful boss without your permission. We must take the place of govern-ment as sovereign individuals. Get rid of justice for s o m e . . . com-plete the noble experiment, and tell government that it can en-force laws, assess the penalties, but it can't call the plays! And I've been yelling since we first commenced it; I'm against it."

Those are the key words that characterize, this coalition of American idealism, of intellec-tuals, flag wavers, ex-radicals, constitutionalists, anarchists, and deserters from the sacrosanct two party system; ask them a question on an issue of government inter-vention and the Libertarians will tell you, "I 'm against it ." What they are for is that each person, "has the right to exercise sole dominion over his or her prop-erty, liberty and life so long as, the individual does not interfere or harm others." But lets look at a brief outline of their platform

Economics-repeal of price con-trols, subsidies, quotas and tariffs, the elimination of the postal department tumilig over the work to private companies, ending postal monopoly and government surveillance. Privitization of all energy concerns without the inter-ference of the F.E.A.

The establishment of strong laws for consumer protection, yet no interference by the govern-ment on voluntary trtde, such as self-protection statutes, adver-tising price laws, and regulation of consumer goods. Finally, no land use legislation or zoning, or purchase of development rights with tax monies.

Health, Education, and Wel-fare-all compulsory education laws will end, along with govern-ment regulation, operation and subsidy of the school system All tax supported health services will be eliminated as well as regulation of the medical industry. All poverty programs will be elimi-nated as well as repealing protec-tive legislation against women and child labor.

Foreign Policy-All tax sup-ported overseas policies, claims on the ocean, American military presence, and American involve-ment in the World Bank and Intemationar Monetary Fund would be eliminated as well as all alliances. The United States would leave the U.N. and the U.N. would be asked to leave the U.S., all foreign territories would be freed, including Puerto Rico.

Civil Rights-there will be no draft, no censorship, no secret police agencies, (CIA, NSA, FBI), no restrictions on communication facilities. Religious freedom is guaranteed but in no way will interfere with the government or laws. There will be ho more victimless crimes, prostitution, gambling, drugs and sex between consenting adults will be legal.

"There are two aims to the party platform: It breaks down the bureaucracy of big govern-ment, ending the grindiilg ineffi-ciency and corruption which limits personal freedoms and causes inflation, and the tax burden is lifted from the individ-ual and placed on manifold competing agencies."

Now maybe this at first sounds radical, but think about it for a minuted Isn't destruction of the big government syndrome what every politician and what the masses want today. How else are you going to accomplish it but by eliminating the FCC, FDA,. CIA, AMA, etc.

The conservatives say down on big business but propose legisla-tion to protect corporate mono-

polies. The liberals are developing the Social Welfare State, rash equalitarianism, when any person who's read Marx and knows socialism's first tenent is over-abundance of resources. I still see us totally dependent on interna-tional trade to buoy our Socialist/ Democracy; there's no over-abundance here!

Can Libertarians win? Well, the two party system is finally crumb-ling and there are already six elected Libertarians in office across the country today. In N.J. alone there are 10 candidates for Congress and slates in more than thirty other states. There is even a presidential candidate this year. Roger MacBride running for the presidency has a long list of political involvements. But besides his unimpressive campaign coffers, he has gained recognition as a viable alternative from such publi-cations as Newsweek and The Christian Science Monitor, to the political somnambulesence of 1976. Four years of Jerry Ford? Even worse four years of the closet racist Jimmy Carter or the scoopless Scoop Jackson? 1 mean how much more can you stand?

Did 1 wet your appetite for the Libertarian party? No, huh^ Still don't believe the American Revolution was a real revolution, just another commie plot? Can't get you to vote for individual freedom? Well that's okay, I have trouble living in the past, and I've never had trust in third parties so I've been working for Mo Udall. Don't get me wrong, some of my best friends are Libertarians.

Lilly awards grant to Hope Hope has been awarded a

$74,150 grant by the Lilly En-dowment, Inc. for faculty devel-opment in interdisciplinary teach-ing, according to President Gordon Van Wylen.

The grant will allow the college to give clearer definition to the goals, patterns and procedures of the senior seminar requirement of the curriculum.

"Faculty preparation for teach-ing Senior Seminars make com plex demands," noted Provost David Marker. "Teachers are ex-pected to deal effectively with the goals of liberal education, models and methods for formulating a philosophy of life, human values and education, and with contem-porary problems.

enable us to make substantial progress in a number of areas."

The grant will allow Hope to undertake a two-year project aimed at bringing to campus eminent teachers and scholars who have demonstrated special insight and ability in the interdis-ciplinary exploration of values.

The project will include sum-mer workshops in 1976 and 1977 in which visiting teacher-scholars will introduce current problems and issues in an interdisciplinary

perspective. During the workshops faculty members will discuss and refine goals, plan course content and establish standards and meth-ods for evaluation.

"This program promises to give impetus to the professional de-velopment of the participating faculty members and through

them to influence both the spirit and content of many courses and research programs at the college," said Dean Lars Granberg who will direct the program.

April 10# 1976

There seems to be an unhealthy attitude of disinterest on campus. There is little on most peoples minds; few issues which ignite a spark of interest. But there are a number of topics on campus which students should make their concern. Especially during a period of student congress election, students need to be aware of issues facing the campus next year.

comments v

Title IX, because of the complications and confusions it has and will cause, should be a key concern for all of the Hope community. If nothing else, a clear understanding of all its implications is needed. Will every dorm have to be co-ed? Will fraternities lose their houses? Sexual equality challenges traditional standards of equality's relationship with freedom. The HEW guidelike needs to be explored to make sure all of its intended benefits are realized and all of its potential difficulties are resolved.

The core curriculum, although an issue for many years, is still alive and causing some problems. Currently, the school seems to be in a bind between feasibility within the core and maintaining a specific program meeting specific goals. Students should decide where they stand on the core. Whether they want it rigid or flexible, they should make their wishes known. In the past four years students seem to have taken whatever is offered to them. It's time they use their opportunity to help develop the policies that will affect their educa-tional future.

Grade inflation is a problem that needs to be eradicated as quickly as possible. As

grades get higher and higher, the student, the college and American education all suffer. Students should have a vital interest in the kind of evaluations they receive for their time and money.

In a separate category, but equally important to Hope, is the role of tradition on campus. For years, much of Hope's strength has lain in the school's strong traditions and sense of a continuing community. In the past few years that appears to have begun to change. Criticism of the Pull increases every year, this year's Winter Carnival was marred by immature acts of vandalism, homecoming has become an event for alumni rather than students. Hope students need to reassess their attitude toward the school's traditional activities. They need to decide if those activities are worthwhile and if so, they need to show a greater willingness to participate. Without intending to criticize SAC, which does an excellent job, there should be less committee and more spontaneous campus-wide involvement in social activities.

Along with a reassessment of traditional activities, a reassessment of tradition values is called for. The character of the Hope student body has changed drastically since the college's inception. Part of that is natural, the times themselves have changed, but part of it represents a real shift in accepted values. Students should make up their minds on what kind of role they believe Hope should play. Hope's relation-ship to Christianity, social issues and political events needs to be clearly defmc-d and students need to participate in the contribution to that definition.

It's clear that active student participa-tion is still a vital necessity to the functioning of a college. One of those areas of participation is in student government. This isn't necessarily a call for all students to run for office, but it is a call for students to make up their minds on the issues that face Hope in the future and to choose and support candidates who will represent their views.

Letters

Ask students to run If you have some ideas on how to

improve Hope College, then you should run for a Student Body office. For the welfare of the students and the college, students who care and are concerned should get involved.

your comments

Being a Student Body officer provides a unique opportunity for involvement. As an officer, you will become a part of the planning and governing structure of the college. Your participation will involve contact with administrators, professors, members of the Board of Trustees and individuals of national distinction.

As the national Congressional and Presidential election date approaches, you may be contacted by candidates for-major political posts. (I already have been approached by a senatorial candidate.) As a student and as a potential candidate, you should know that a salary of $100 to $200 is paid to each of the three officers.

Letter policy The anchor welcomes letters from all

interested persons. All letters received will be printed, providing space permits and the letter is not judged by the staff to be libelous.

No consideration will be given to unsigned letters, but names will be withheld upon request. Letters should be submitted to the anchor office, located in the basement of Graves Hall before 7 p.m. on Wednesday.

Nixon was right

If you desire to develop your adminis-trative talent and at the same fca feel you are * representative of the Student Body, then this may .be the opportunity for which you have been waiting.

Running for office should not be looked upon as a time of embarrassment or defamation. Rather it should be regarded

as a time when candidates and the electorate conscientiously evaluate the past and the future of their community. Whether you win or lose, running for office is truly a learning experience. '

in blue jeans with beards and clenched fists kept walking in and out of the house; I forgot all about my wine cellar.

But one day in 1973 I went up to the attic to find a suitcase. I took a flashlight and as I was shining it around I saw a pile of glass in the corner of the attic. I went over to it. There were nine empty bottles with Chateau Mouton Rothschild labels lying on the floor. Apparently during one of my absences the flower children had had a wine party in the attic.

I let out a scream and my wife rushed upstairs. - She found me on my knees sobbing and pounding on the floor, "What have I done? What has happened?"

It's been three years, but I still haven't

gotten over it. Every once in a while I'll break down and say, "If I had only put a lock on the wine cellar door, I wouldn't be in the mess I am today."

So when I read about Mr. Nixon trying to protect his Chateau Margaux from his heathen guests, my heart went out to him. He could have shared it with them, but as he told John Dean in one of his taped conversations, "It would have been wrong."

Caution: acting can be hazardous to your health

I

]

Hope is between theater pro-ductions, so now is a good time to take a look with Kathy Cornell at the rigors of rehearsal

by Kathy Cornell No one had told me you could

get killed in this business. Oh, I'd received warnings of one kind or another from friends, family and others somehow concerned with my emotion,- moral and spiritual well-being: "The devil is on the stage." "Enter the theater and you'll enter a world of amoral-ity." "All those theater people do is party. Your grades will go to hell (not to mention your post-mortal destination!)" "It 's full of queers and fags. Your sex life will really get screwed (guffaw, guf-faw)". "It's just a collection of ego-maniacs. You wanna get that stuck on yourself?"

I cheerfully indexed -these pearls of wisdom under "mostly garbage" in my cranial file and galloped merrily on toward the footlights. Someone had forgotten to mention that my psyche was in the least danger. It was my body that was in for a beating. Had someone said, "You'll be injured, maimed and physically abused" I might have at least slowed my gallop to a trot long enough to contemplate the risks. I hate pain. I avoid it at most costs.

But no one mentioned pain. Except me, the day after my first scene presentation for acting class. Bandaged, bruised and hobbling, I mentioned pain to anyone who

was willing to listen and to a few could brilliantly remain "in the ^ w e r e n t—veteran actors who moment" and somehow incorpo-

I heard my tale of pain and could faint. su™ r*n9- ^ ' Not wanting to waste precious

It began with rehearsal; there occurred the first and most painful blow, with nobody th^re to even appreciate my pain except for John, my partner in the scene, and he was no great comfort. I was playing a drug addict who'd been in and out of mental institutions for ten years. He was playing my 20.year-old son. We were on a bed, struggling for possession of a gun I'd hidden beneath the pillows. Now, I could really sink my teeth into this part of the scene.

Using emotional recall, I pic-tured a rotten kid I knew in second grade who always tried to steal my Bozo-the-clown yo-yo, and substituted him for John. Then I fought like hell to retain possession of my property.

Unfortunately, a gun is not like a yo-yo. It has sharp edges and protrusions. One of these dug in and ripped a gash in my hand as John jerked it from my grasp. As I lay there watching my blood ooze and drip down my hand while John soliloquized around the stage, I considered the possibilities for how to proceed from there. 1. I could go home, wash and bandage the wound, and come back and rehearse some more. 2.1

rehearsal time, and being bad at ad-libbing and worse at fainting, I opted for continuing. But John took one look at the growing puddle of blood on the floor, a further look at my blood-covered hand, and he chose option No. 4. This was rather annoying, and it put a complete stop to further rehearsal.

That afternoon, we performed the scene for the class. What we

lacked in rehearsal preparedness we made up for in energy and intensity. At one point, I was to run terror-stricken from the room, in an attempt to escape, and John was to catch up with me out in the hall. H^ was not amused. Whether John as my son or John as my fellow actor was annoyed with me I was not sure, but his surliness and roughness were heightened after our little jog outside the theater and when he shoved me back into the room, it was with a forcefulness I didn't expect.

I tripped over the stairs and crashed to the floor. That hurt. For days. I arose to discover the cigarette I'd tossed aside earlier in the scene had been burning a hole in the blanket on the bed. A

IT WAS MY FAVORITE BLANKET AND THE DAMN CIGARETTE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE FALLEN ON THE FLOOR HAD JUST BURNED A HOLE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT! and my bandaged hand was still oozing, and my arm felt dislocated, and my back was wrenched, and my fanny was • smarting.' The tears with which I finished the scene were real, and the applause was thunderous.

I suppose it was that applause which prevented my hasty retreat from theaterland. My pursuit of the footlights continues, and I take my hospitalization and health insurance forms with me wherever I go.

Don't stop for Next Stop The following is written by

Robert Eckert. He reviews Next Stop, Greenwich Village, pro-duced and directed by Paul Mazursky.

Next Stop, Greenwich Village is a unique kind of bad movie. Everything about it is good except the ending and that is so un-gratifying that it makes the entire film a waste of time.

Next Stop is the story of a Jewish college boy who leaves his home in the Bronx for Greenwich Village where he hopes to make it as an actor. His mother is

*The most glaring difference between the anchors of old are the different topics of interest > and emphasis. Ties with the Reformed Church are more obvious than now. Editorial topics were also different than they are now. One 1899 editorial was a lesson in how and when to study. "It used to be a rule that what a student could not get before midnight must be got after, but happily, this medieval notion has given way under the pressure of common sense and instead is substituted as a guide to the student, 'Be healthy first, learned second.' " *An essay praised William McKinley, who was president during the Spanisll-American War, for managing to keep one hand "on the helm of state and the other on the feverish pulse of the nation cautioning the patient to remain quiet." The essay continued that there wasn't anyone who had not heard of America - or the "patriot, statesman. Christian" at her head. *Co-education has traveled a long road to get where it is today. Students calling for longer parietals are continuing a debate that was in full swing in 1899. "Does co-education only mean the privilege of pursuing the same course of study, or sitting in the same lecture room? We believe it means more. In addition to the intellectual advantages a college offers, co-education stands also for the social life of

the students." *Oh, but those Cosmos did start out humble. Peter Braak, class of '99, wrote, "There is no word in the English language so pregnant with meaning as the term cosmopolitan." *"One of the questions that is agitating the students most at present is that of athletics. Shall Hope be allowed to engage in football, baseball and track athletic contests with other colleges?" Jocks didn't always have it made in the shade. *The White Man's Burden-an 1899 article on missions in India stated, "The Indians have been taught the immortality of their souls, their sinful condition, their infinite danger and the way of salvation. What grander results could be achieved than education for those who were kept in illiteracy for centuries and restoring them to an equal with European and American men and women!" *An 1899 editorial suggested opening up the gymnasium and athletics to Hope's women.

The Boer War was raging in South Africa in 1899 and the anchor made its position clear. "The anchor fearlessly places itself on the side of the Boe r s . . . It believes that all fair-minded persons should throw all their influence and power in favor of the Boers. They may b e ' conservative... but they are not retrogressive."

hysterical, his father is shadowy, his girlfriend is willing, his friends are insane and he is ecstatic when he lands a part in a Hollywood film.

The film's turning points come in the form of an abortion, a suicide and a romantic betrayal. The ingredients are there for an excellent film, but Paul Mazursky, writer and director, misses his chance with a trite ending that is an- insult to the film's real characters and their real problems.

Lenny Baker, as Larry Lu-

pinsky, is unglamorous, conse-quently extremely credible. He's the one you went to high school with who never stood out much but ended up a bigger success than anyone else.

Lupinsky is continually strug-gling with life, but is able to remain an optimist. Baker's Lupinsky has an innocent kind of awareness. He has seen life's absurdities but doesn't intend to let them stop him.

His creative drive is symbolized by his more than healthy relation-ship with Sarah, played by Ellen Greene. She gets pregnant and, to his credit, Lupinsky weathers her decision to have an abortion.

All the film's characters are having varying degrees of diffi-culty in coping with life. Sarah takes the disinterested approach. She has no qualms when telling a lovelost Larry about her affair with a poet or her desire to go to Mexico-not that she engages in either of those activities with any zest.

Robert the poet is over-sexed and selfish, Bernstein the homo-sexual lives in a fantasy world and Lois Smith, as the woman who finally makes good on her threat to commit suicide, bring all of their problems and insanity down to an inescapable and macabre level.

Shelly Winters as Larry's mother is obnoxious, but over-bearing, overly sentimental moth-

ers are obnoxious. Larry says of her, "She invented the Oedipus complex." His difficulty in break-ing away from her suggests that he was her assistant.

Only Larry's father emerges as sane and satisfied. He does it in a tired sort of way, but seems to have found his niche nonetheless.

The Greenwich Village setting is presented more like the stereo-type and less like it probably was in the fifties. The characters are poets, musicians, philosphers, etc., all of whom are trying to "find themselves." They go to parties, love freely-the classic non-con-formist lifestyle. The poverty, failures and drugs are left out. There are no practical problems, only psychological ones.

The film has snappy dialogue and fascinating characters but falls apart with a ride-off-into-the-sun-set-live-happily-ever-after ending. After lines like "I don't want to live, but I'm afraid to die," the tidy ending is totally unsatisfac-tory. Next Stop sets you up for an answer to the world's craziness but doesn't deliver.

If you must see the movie and want to feel like you got your money's worth, skip the last ten minutes and make up your own ending.

Pinball proceeds aid symphonette

As part of the fund-raising drive for the Symphonette's tour in England during May Term, Alvin D. Bos and Hope have offered to give the group the total proceeds from all the pinball games played on Tuesday.

Only money from the pinball machines, and not the video games, is earmarked for the musicians.

Smith designs, directs play by Molly Finn

Costume sketches, floor plans, models of sets, miscellaneous tools, and piles of administrative memos clutter the room. Richard Smith sits back in the corner behind his desk brooding over articles on Beckett.

Currently, he's not only thea-ter department chairman, stage-craft instructor, and technical director, he's also set and costume designer and director of the next Hope theater production, Beck-ett's Endgame.

There is method behind his madness. There would have to be; anyone who attempts to design and direct simultaneously must have a vision. And he does.

"As a designer, I feel it's im-portant to keep in touch with other aspects of the theater. Di-rectors should design. We all should act. I haven't had time in the past, but now, directing, it'll help me re-examine a play from all viewpoints rather than just as a designer. That's a handicap I h a v e . . . a thing I fall into . . . I get wrapped up in what's happen-ing with the play visually and lose contact with the text. That's why Beckett's Endgame is a good play for me to direct. The text is so strong."

He has other reasons for pur-suing this total theater experience. "It'll help me understand the problems directors have with de-signers." He's already encountered several. He designed the set three weeks ago and it's built. Now he feels he would have done it dif-ferently.

"Ideally, the set design should come almost at the end of a rehearsal period when a director knows what he wants from work-ing with the script and actors." Most designers work under pres-sure and give designs to directors for approval before rehearsals be-gin. "Designers end up forecast-ing, projecting. They may change the whole nature of the produc-tion. The director has to sit down and figure out how he can make the designer's set work."

At the present, he's also in a dilemma designing costumes. "When I work only as a designer, I

simply sit down, analyze the char-acters objectively, and design early in the working process. Now I'm looking at the costumes as a director, I've had time to become personally involved with these characters. It's more difficult to make definite decisions."

For Smith, these frustrations are ultimately a challenge. He's an idealist and has" a strong sense of professionalism. He says he "lacks the discipline to be a perfection-ist" but that's what he strives for. His standard of excellence stems from "running track." "When I was running the mile in high school, I realized the only way to reach the end is through individ-ual effort. It's the means that gets you the result." This attitude af-fects all his work. "It's the reason I'm challenged and put off by the theater. I keep thinking that the right combination will come along where every individual is working at maximum effort, where there's a total group force or energy."

He readily admits this goal is an impossibility in professional theater, th^re are too many pres-sures and in educational theater there are too many commitments. "I did see a spark of this focus in three productions on campus, Romeo and Juliet, Virginia Woolf, and Uncle Vanya." Again he's referring to the working process, not the end result.

He not only has this commit-ment to 100% maximum effort in producing a play; he also has a definite commitment as a de-signer. "When I decided on thea-ter, I also decided the one thing I wanted to create was a new sort of visual phenomenon. I don't want audiences coming in to see the same old store front or castle with new trimmings. I don't want to reproduce a representation of the obvious. . . new shapes, lines, forms, tones, mass . . . that's what I want. I don't know how to do this yet. But that's why I design." These are not empty words. His summers are spent at workshops and institutes experimenting with metals, plastics and wood sculp-ture, as a designer learning % to manipulate these materials.

Now he's experimenting as a

director. He wants to understand the barriers between actors and directors. "The cast is dedicated. We have one commitment . . . to work toge ther . . . to attempt to be true to the reason Beckett wrote the play." He's primarily working from Beckett's comments to director Alan Schneider. "The real important in the play is in the shape of the words and dialogue as much as what everything means." ^

Obviously the challenge of working with a Beckett script is that there are so many possibili-ties. "I read lines or hear lines at rehearsal and sense new meanings, see new approaches." Both Smith and cast are open to continual change, collaborating to interpret Beckett's work.

"I told the cast it's difficult in rehearsal to tell if the play works. It may be difficult at the end. Audiences are used to entertain-ment. I don't want the audience to come out feeling entertained. I don't want them to feel anything specific. I want them to think about Beckett's views-the hope-lessness of it all, their own situa-tion, as it pertains to the charac-ters in the play . . . game-playing to sustain e g o s . . . lack of com-munication-not just verbal communication, but barriers experienced because of attitudes."

Audiences attending Endgame should realize this will not be a typical evening in the theater. Beckett's work is labeled "ab-surdist or avant-garde." The pro-duction is in the Studio Theater, reserved for experimental works. And significantly, the production is directed by a man committed to innovation in the theater, both as a designer and director.

•i

Inherent in any type of institution having a religious emphasis is the certitude that it will not measure up to everyone's expectations. Hope has been subjected to its share of criticism, and some mild debate over what it should do has been entertained. What are the goals and purposes of Hope as a Christian institution of higher education?

The Articles of Incorporation of the Board of Trustees (as amended May 31r, 1957) state that "the character and objects of the College. . . are to provide comprehensive literary and scientific courses of study in connection with sound evangelical religious instructions based on the Holy Scriptures in accordance with the standards of the Reformed Church in America.''

Except for recurring evidences of the denomina-tional affiliation of the college, no further statement is made in either the Articles of Incorporation or the By-Laws of the Board of Trustees regarding Christian aims. And to our knowledge, there exists no official public statement on such aims, except for the 1957 version above.

Still, some general guidelines surface from time to time. It is evident that the main emphasis of Hope leadership involves a desire to affirm historic Christian convictions but leave room for healthy diversity within the Protestant tradition. These convictions include the doctrines of the character of God as incarnated in Jesus Christ and of the nature of man as a rational and moral being who has noble purposes but needs renewal in Christ.

Different views exist as to what a " Christian college" should be. While conservatives may think the beliefs are too loosely outlined, free-thinkers can protest that no predefined bias is abceptable among the leadership of an institution that claims to be educational

We believe that the affirmation of a particular world-view by the administration of a given college does not ^eonflict with the requirement that the college offer its students the opporrunity to freely seek truth (as distinguished from learning skills). In fact it is doubtful whether objectivity is possible. And so Hope is committed to endorsing Christian beliefs and intellectual openness simultaneously

Granted that things are going well in the pursuit of academic excellence, how is the sound evangelical religious instruction coming along?

The problem with Hope's Christian stand now seems to be that it is so cloudy. If the school really believes that the Christian way is right, it is not communicating this fact to students, nor is it succeeding in communicating to the students exactly what it perceives true Christianity to be.

We do not know how students in general do view the religious posture of the school. But when it is possible to pass through four years and 56 hours of core requirements without being squarely con-fronted with the gospel of Jesus Christ, some 19 year old goals need to be pulled out of the closet and dusted off.

In order for this to be both Christian and a college, we* encourage the "Board of Trustees to release a formal statement of religious beliefs and goals. Th^ administration should then seek to stimulate debate and discussion within the com-munity concerning those beliefs and goals, their correctness and their appropriateness.

Jesus Christ should be an issue on campus. Hope is no place for theological murkiness or apathy.

There is great potential for Hope as a Christian school But if the adminstration is serious about Christianity it needs to abandon satisfying plati-tudes and honestly seek to answer the questions and objections of students and faculty, both those who claim to be Christian and those who do not, in ordqr to better accomplish the work of God in this world.

Regisiration is a time of many and difficult decisions. To help make the process a little easier, the anchor has come up with some classroom antics to avoid. Professors not mentioned in the following are only omitted be-, cause as enlightened as the anchor staff is, we just haven't had a chance to take a course with every professor.

* Biology Dr. John Day-He's especially good on days when he's awake or when he tells the Farmer Jones chicken story. Dr. William Gillis-If you like your plants rare and exotic, he could be for you. Dr. Norman Rieck-Just because you've never seen it before doesn't mean it won't be on the test.

Chemistry Dr. Donald Williams-Dr. Williams once said, "If I keep water boiling over my Bunsen burner, people will think I'm busy." If that represents his general attitude toward teaching

Dr. Michael Doyle-He is evidence for the theory that teachers are paid by the word.

Communication Dr. Joseph MacDoniels-Some-body ought to respond to his pleas of "talk to me" and "am I making sense?" Harold Mikle-He's not really a dirty old man.

English Dr. Charles Huttar-Don' t believe him for a minute when he says class will be most discussion. ~ Dr. Francis Fike-If you thought "The Miller's Tale" was fun, wait until you hear Dr. Fike read it in dialect. Dr. Dirkv Jellema-Gives great commentaries on famous works while most of the class thinks he's rambling on unrelated tangents. Dr. A. James Prins-Not quite up to par on Mondays because "Monday is always a bad day." Wednesdays he's "just trying to make it through the week." Friday is too close to the spectre of another week-end for him to be at his best. Other than those days, Dr. Prins is excellent. Dr. William Reynolds-Behind that boyish charm and fascination for Star Trek is a genuine scholar. Jack Ridl-We don't know where he learned to teach. The straight lecture course has stood the test

Dutchmen return from successful spring trip by Jerry Boose

Once again the Dutchmen traveled south to test their unseen talents against already proven strong teams. Coach Jim Bultman returned to Holland flying high with his young team. The Dutch compiled an amazing spring record, winning five of nine games, the most wins ever achieved on a spring trip. It should also be pointed out that this spring tour could have been the toughest ever scheduled.

Hope was slated to go against Tennessee State, Georgia Tech, West Georgia and David Lipscomb College, all of which are among the better teams down south. The trip was highlighted on the final day with Hope splitting a double-header -against David Lipscomb College.

Lipscomb, rated number one in the NAIA, was rocked by . t he Dutch in the second game 8-6 with Bill Fobare going the dis-tance. Fobare pitched probably the biggest win of his career thus far. It was the first time the Dutch have beaten Lipscomb in five years.

Problems with rain kept the Dutch from fulfilling their 13 game schedule. However, it didn't seem to affect their play as six players returned home batting over .300. Jeff Waterstone led the way hitting .423 followed by Tony Terraciano who clubbed

Bowling tourney announced

Calling Hope's prospective Don Carters, Dick Webers and Earl Anthonys! A singles bowling tournament is being set up for all interested students. It will run from Tues., April 20 through Sat., April 24, with each competitor bowling three games on any two of those nights.

Those not in the student league will establish their handicap for the tournament by their first three games. Come have a study break and join the fun, some prizes too. For more information, see someone in the DeWitt Cul-tural Center's Game Room.

Lacrosse team travels to Ohio

Hope's lacrosse team is visiting the Buckeye State this weekend for three games. This afternoon the team tackles Toledo Uni-versity, and tomorrow the Dutch-men will play Ohio State Uni-versity and Ohio University.

The squad opened its season before spring break, playing an away contest at Hillsdale College. The Dutchmen lost that game to a very tough and physical Charger team, 13-3.

Hope's first home contest will be on Wednesday, April 14, when the Dutchmen entertain the Uni-versity of Michigan in a night game at Riverview Park.

.400. Dave Watkins slammed .333 along with Jeff Burke. Bill Web-ster and A1 Watson hit .316 and .308 respectively. Hopeful fresh-man Terry Lock came close to the golden six obtaining, a .296 average, and was also the only home run hitter down south with a blast against Berry College.

On the mound Fobare led the way witlrtwo victories while Paul Stears, Dan Van Pemis and Gordie Alderink earned one apiece. Bill Harrison donated some fine relief work, picking up two saves.

Defensively, Hope has seem-ingly improved over last season's disaster. The Dutch played well away from the plate, making four double plays to their opponents two.

An optimistic outlook? Granted the Dutch have returned with fine credentials, but playing MIAA ball in spring weather in Michigan has had drastic conse-quences on Hope teams that have done well down south in the past. The key lies in the first two weeks of play. The Dutch must win to instill a winning attitude in this young team that will carry them ^through their rigorous schedule.

Prediction? The Dutch have three things in their favor: an improved pitching staff, especially

with the performance of Fobare; improved defense and the return of former all-MIAA catcher Ter-raciano; and the element of surprise, coming from the base-ment, Hope may find early opponents are taking them lightly.

Look for Calvin to defend its MIAA title but with a little luck Hope could revenge our basketball team by taking the championship away from our rival school April 24 at Van Raalte.
