Two Students Charged

Police Make Narcotics Raid By George Arwady

anchor Editor Five Hope students were picked

up in a police raid on Kollen Hall and a quan t i ty of m a r i j u a n a was confiscated M o n d a y night.

TWO S T U D E N T S WERE ar ra igned in Hol land Municipal Court Tuesday . Brian I). Terho, a f r e s h m a n from Pittsford, N.Y., was cha rged with illegal pos-session of narcotics, and Carl Ryan Mathews, a f r e shman f rom Detroit, was charged with illegal use of narcotics .

Both waived examina t ion at their a r r a i g n m e n t and were b o u n d over to Ottawa Circuit Court to appea r on Nov. 12. They were released in their own recog-nizance.

Yesterday they were suspended f rom the College.

T H R E E OTHER students tak-en in the ra id were released by police. Dean of Student Affairs Robert De Young said police were not pressing charges against these three and that they would remain in the school under careful individual supervis ion and coun-seling by members of the Admin-istration.

The decision to suspend Te rho and Mathews was made on the recommenda t ion of Dean De

Young and was approved by the Student S tand ing and Appeals Committee yesterday m o r n i n g .

" T H E S U S P E N S I O N does not preclude the possibility of their coming back a t s o m e f u t u r e t i m e , " said Dean De Young. " T h e y might be allowed to return second semes-ter if they conduct themselves dur-ing the next three mon ths in a way that suggests that they are ready to live in the college c o m m u n i t y . "

Dean De Young said that both Hope students were coopera t ing fully with the police and were first offenders. He said that leniency is the usual procedure in such cases, a l though under Michigan law, conviction of illegal possession of narcot ics can br ing a sentence of up to 10 yea r s in prison. Convic-tion of illegal use of narcot ics car-ries a m a x i m u m one-year sentence.

In expectat ion of leniency by the court , Dean De Young said that the College is work ing to find the two suspended students jobs .

The arres ts followed several weeks of invest igat ion by the Hol-land police depar tment and s p r a n g in part f rom in fo rmat ion sent to the police by a Hope stu-dent.

THE POLICE CAME to the Col-lege with their informat ion, ob-

tained a search w a r r a n t , and made M o n d a y night ' s entry and search of the room with the full coopera t ion of the College.

"We received the utmost coop-era t ion on the night of the ra id f rom the Dean and other admin-i s t ra tors , " said Hol land police Detective Gene Gerb.

Detective Gerb said that the in-vest igat ion and raid is regarded by the police as an " isola ted case , " and is not par t of a b r o a d e r in -vest igation involving the College.

The Academic Affairs B o a r d passed a motion cont inuing the pass-fail system, discussed the possibil i ty of a depar tment of in-terdiscipl inary studies and ap-proved the addi t ion of twocourses to the cur r icu lum at its meeting last M o n d a y .

The committee decided that " the or ig inal p roposa l for pass-fail passed by the faculty be continued for the recommended trial period of two yea r s without m a j o r change before fur ther eva lua t ion is under-taken, with certain modifica-t ions ."

T H E S E MODIFICATIONS in elude a provis ion that " a n y stu-dent wishing to elect a course un-der the pass-fai l p lan should com-plete the n o r m a l registrat ion pro-cedures and within the week fol-lowing the complet ion of registra-tion, should obta in a special pass-fail f o rm f rom the Records Office."

This form should be a p p r o v e d by the s tudent ' s faculty adv i so r and returned to the Records Office, where the c h a n g e f rom the conven-tional g r a d i n g system to pass-fail will be made. N o change will be permitted after the first week fol-lowing regis t ra t ion.

The or ig inal provis ion was that " the student will be required to elect either the convent ional g r ad -ing system or the pass-fail system when he registers for the particu-lar course . "

IN ADDITION, a provis ion was added which states that " the professor will not be informed of the s tudent ' s election of the pass-fail g r a d i n g system for his par-ticular course, but this in forma-tion will be ava i lab le to the pro-fessor at his request f rom the Reg-istrar. The professor will submit a letter g r a d e for the student to the Records Office where it will

No-hour Policy To Begin Early Second Semester

A no-hours key system for senior women will be implemented b y second semester, accord ing to Jeannette Sprik, Associate Dean of Students.

Miss Sprik, Robert De Young, Dean of Student Affairs, and Mi-chael Gerrie, Acting Associate Dean of Students, are presently s tudying the key systems used by other a r e a colleges.

The C a m p u s Life Board passed the no-hours p lan for senior women October 14. The Boa rd

left implementa t ion of the m>-h o u r s plan to the Dean of Student Affairs and the Associate Dean oi Students.

Miss Sprik stated that imple-menta t ion was now in " the re-search-s tudy stage. There are dif-ferent types of key systems abou t which we have applied for in-f o r m a t i o n and I am now going out to see them," she sakL

be t ransla ted to either the 'P ' or ' F ' des igna t ion . "

This statement was a p p r o v e d by the Educa t iona l Policies Com-mittee last May and was not al-tered by the faculty.

The rest of the pass-fail p lan will remain as stated in the Col-lege cata log.

DR, ARTHUR J E N T Z noted that the Records Office could not keep the fact that a student is t ak ing a course on a pass-fail bas i s f rom the professor , even if the plan tried to specify this. " F a c u l t y members use student records for so m a n y things, like recommenda t ions for g r a d u a t e schools and appl ica t ions for ma-jors , that it would be difficult to prevent him from lea rn ing on what basis a student is t ak ing his course . "

Most committee members agreed, however, that there is lit-tle reason for keeping this infor-mat ion f rom the professor if he desires it, a l though he will not be specifically informed of the g r a d i n g status of his students.

4A Pilgrim in Life'

Printmaker Keith Achepohl:4

By Andy Mulder anchor Reporter

"Art is the explora t ion of the visual world. It is f inding an an-chor in life."

With this concept as his moti-vat ion, Keith Achepohl, assistant professor of art, h a s established himself as one of the r a n k i n g artists in the field of pr in tmaking.

MR, ACHEPOHL, a ba ld ing young m a n with a heavy mus-tache, c a m e to Hope College in 1967 with a dist inguished back-g round . Born in Ch icago and edu-cated at Knox College and the Universi ty of Iowa, Mr. Achepohl has studied and lectured in Amer-ica and Europe .

In 1962-1964, Mr. Achepohl received g r a n t s to lecture in Ger-m a n y and Italy. He also taught for three yea r s at the University of Iowa before jo in ing Hope ' s faculty.

Mr. Achepohl 's ability in the field of ar t h a s been recognized by a number of awards . In 1959 and 1961, he won the Mid-America Annual purchase awards .

Mr. Achepohl h a s also received the Achenbach F o u n d a t i o n award for g r a p h i c art in 1960, the Sil-vermine Guild Award in 1960, the Ti f fany g ran t fo r p r in tmak ing in 1965 and mos t recently the Lynd Ward Prize given b y the

Society of American Graph ic Ar-tists.

EXHIBITIONS OF MR, Ache pohl ' s prints have been d i sp layed na t ional ly and internat ional ly . Fifteen one-man shows of Ache-pohl prints and d rawings have been held in Italy, G e r m a n y C a n a d a and the United States.

His prints are now displayed in over 2 5 permanent collections including the Art Institute of Chi-cago, the L ib ra ry of Congress , Pennell Collections, the Philadel-phia Museum of Art and the New York Public L ib ra ry .

Pr in tmaking , which is Mr. Ache-pohl ' s specialty, is the process of p roduc ing or ig inal etchings f r o m metal plates with the use of a press.

SOME OF T H E processes in p r in tmak ing have not changed in 500 years. Many of the tools used to m a k e prints t o d a y differ very little f r o m those used in the 1500 ' s by Durer. It is really the art is t ' s use of the tools that is different.

" I t is at times g ra t i fy ing to know, in this world of confusion, especially in the arts , that I 've got in my h a n d t h e s a m e tool Durer , Man tegna or Rem-b rand t m a y have used ," Mr. Ache-pohl said.

" P r i n t m a k i n g is p r o b a b l y the least s p o n t a n e o u s of all a r t , " sa id Mr. Achepohl. " H o w e v e r , print-

^ m a k i n g appea l s to me a s a medi-

um of expression. The mold ing of an image on metal implies a per-manency which I like very much. It conveys a distinct intellectual process in which the artist parti-cipates on m a n y levels, c h a n g i n g a n d d rawing as the image is re-f ined."

SINCE PRINTMAKING gen erally involves on ly two colors , black and white, one critic in the "Seatt le T imes" has called Mr. Achepohl, " a poet of d a r k n e s s " because of his use of s h a d o w images. Mr. Achepohl focuses on the s u b t e r r a n e a n world while still p ra i s ing and celebrat ing the focuses of life. The " T i m e s " also commented that a recent d i sp lay of Achepohl prints reveals " a cy-clical view of g rowth and decay . "

MR. ACHEPOHL, in reply to this analys is , sa id , " Life exists for the artist in black and white terms. Black and white are co lors which are s topping points. They con-f ront the viewer and establish self-awareness . It is the art is t ' s j ob to select the extremity of co lors and focus the real f r o m the image . "

"A g o o d deal of c o n t e m p o r a r y art is real ly exciting and pertinent to now," hesa id . In the c l a s s room, Mr. Achepohl tries to point this out. He believes that " m o s t stu-dents who come to Hope are lack-

Two Movements Are Similar

Student Power: A Force in Yugoslavia, America Editor's Note: George .Arwady was the Hope representative in the GLCA Yugoslav-American Semi-nar this summer.

By George Arwady

A m o n g the patterns and me-thods of c h a n g e which dis t inguish c o n t e m p o r a r y societies f rom their predecessors is the phenomenon known as student power. In the last half-dozen years student movements have attempted to achieve rad ica l social c h a n g e in countr ies on five continents.

T H E S T U D E N T movemen t so l the United States and Yugos lav ia , a l though possessing a great num-ber of g l a r i n g differences, stem f r o m the s ame discontent, sha re essentially the same tactics, have m a n y of the some problems and share essentially the s ame long-r a n g e goal of enhanced student power.

One diss imilar i ty between the student movements in Yugos lav ia and America is the political, ideo-logical convict ion of the students of the two countries. In the United States, all but a small, radical f r inge in the student movement are committed to a retention of the basic capitalistic economic system, a l though m a n y students wish to see radical reform within the system. In Yugoslavia , the vast ma jo r i ty of the students a re f i rmly committed to the cont inua-tion of self-man aged socialism in their count ry and vi^w it as the only equi table system.

T H E YUGOSLAV s tudents ex-hibit a persona l mater ia l i sm which one would no rma l ly asso-ciate with the capitalist system. Yugos lav student d e m a n d s usual-ly centered on employment g u a r -antees after g r a d u a t i o n f r o m the universi ty and better l iving and s tudy ing condi t ions in the univer-sities themselves. Students sough t greater st ipends while s tudy ing and legislation to prevent workers councils f r o m discr iminat ing aga ins t the y o u n g after g r a d u a -tion.

It might sound historically ab-surd , but student activists in the United States seem to have re-

jected in l a rge part the mater ia l -ism of their elders while the y o u n g

Tenor Andre Aerne will ^resent a recital tonight at 8 :15 in Dim-nent Memoria l Chapel.

IN T H E FIRST half of the p r o g r a m he will pe r form a r i a s by George Frederick Handel , songs by Ludwig von Beethoven and serenades by F r a n z Schubert , J o h a n n e s B r a h m s and Richard Strauss .

O P U S is

Yugos lavs seem to be " h u n g u p " on what we would call the Puri tan ethic and the H o r a t i o Alger myth.

The d e m a n d s of the student movement in the United States, on the other h a n d , are almost a l w a y s couched in idealistic l a n g u a g e and a lmost never seek the material improvement of the students ' lives before or after g r ad -uat ion . Students in America a re concerned with such issues as the moral i ty of the w a r in Vietnam, the principle of student control over student and universi ty af fa i rs and the mora l and ethical pro-b lems presented by the plight of the black man and poverty g r o u p s living in America.

O N E OTHER D I F F E R E N C E between the Yugos lav and Ameri-can movements is that the Yugo-s lav movement h a s been more ef-fective in a t ta in ing its objectives. T a k i n g the demons t r a t ions last June as a case in point, it must be noted that one week after the demons t r a t ions Marsha l Tito went on rad io and television and capitulated to student d e m a n d s for reform. He g ran ted amnes ty to those arrested in Beograd and promised that officials responsible for police brutal i ty would be dis-missed.

In Slovenia, s tudents have ser -ved on the pa r l i ament of Slovenia and student representa t ion on Universi ty dec is ion-making bod-ies h a s been increased.

IN CONTRAST, the Amer ican movement h a s been less success-ful, a l though its " success" is some-thing very difficult to measure . The United States is very definite-ly still in Vietnam; " in loco pa r -ent is" still exists at most Ameri-can coeducat ional institutions; the minor i ty and pover ty p rob lems a re greater than ever.

The reasons for this s h a r p con-trast between success and fa i lure are extremely complex.

One, fairly obvious , is that the Yugos lav d e m a n d s are much easier to sat isfy t h a n the Amer ican demands . None of the Yugos lav student concerns touch upon basic policies of the Tito government ; you see no student d e m a n d for replacement of Tito himself. Free-dom in Yugos lav ia , while it h a s

COMING

come a long way f rom the ear ly '50 ' s , ' still has not matured to the point where m a j o r radical dis-sent is permitted. Yugoslav re-quests a re Vnuch easier to sat isfy than American requests, such as a radical shift in U.S. foreign policy toward southeas t Asia.

F U R T H E R M O R E , THE na-ture of the gove rnmen t of Yugo-s lavia lends itself more readi ly to the type of r ap id change demand-ed by students. In Yugos lav ia the students have only to convince the leadersh ip of the League of Communis t s and top gove rnmen t officials of the val idi ty of their opinions. Pe rhaps ult imately it is only necessary to convince Jos ip Broz Tito. The Yugoslav leader-ship can take a lmost a n y step it wishes, and the people can m a k e more than muted protest only with great difficulty.

In the United States, on the other hand , the two-party system of regu la r testing of l eadersh ip at the polls and constant political opposi t ion m a k e s it extremely dif-ficult for the students to achieve m a j o r change , especially in light of the vot ing age requirement of 21 years . Students must convince the popula t ion of America of the validity of their posi t ions to a much greater degree than is ne-cessary in Yugos lav ia . No Ameri-can admin i s t r a t ion can accede to student d e m a n d s which are re-jected by the ma jo r i ty of Ameri-cans without r i sk ing mass ive re-

The Student Senate tabled mot ions concern ing registrat ion, c a m p u s l ighting, the Motet Choir and off -campus hous ing at its meeting Wednesday night.

A MOTION, p roposed by Bob Claver , r e commend ing that the a p p r o p r i a t e student-faculty com-mittee be requested to investigate regis t ra t ion a n d devise a more efficient system was tabled and sent to a Senate committee for s tudy.

The p r o p o s a l asserted, " T h a t which we so e r roneous ly cal l 'pre-reg i s ra t ion ' is in fact of little or no real va lue to the student in

puuia i ion at the polls. In the Uni-ted States highly democra t ic insti-tutions a re more tolerant of m a j o r dissent than are Yugos lav institu-tions, but that s ame democracy slows the wheels of radical social change , re ta rd ing the success of student ambit ions .

NOT ALL IS d iss imilar in the two movements , however. The vit-ality of both movements stems to a great degree f rom a feeling of alienation a m o n g the students. Al though the Slovene-Yugoslav movement has m o r e limited and materialistic goa l s than the Ameri-can movement , it involves the same feeling of discontent with the domina t ion of the older genera t ion which is found in the United States. The " g e n e r a t i o n g a p , " in my opinion, is as wide in Yugos lav ia as it has ever been in America. Fu r the rmore , the same discontent with the role of the intellectual in nat ional leader-ship can be found in both move-ments.

Yugoslav students, whether or not they are student leaders , roundly denounce the "p r imi -tives" who they say run the Yugo-slav government and indust ry . Most feel that the wart ime gene-rat ion is, in c o m p a r i s o n to the post-war genera t ion , illiterate, in-sensitive and anti-intellectual. They feel that the coun t ry will s tagna te until their genera t ion re-places the middle-aged genera t ion in authori ty . Until that t ime their mater ia l advances will be re tarded by d iscr iminat ion aga ins t their generat ion. Radical political changes , such as the establish-ment of a mult i-party system or l iberalization of the f reedom of speech and assembly will be out of the quest ion altogether.

THIS IS VERY s imilar to the American student point of view in regard to his more idealistic objectives. Most student activists are alienated f r o m the World War II generat ion which can see the American involvement in Vietnam only in terms of win-or-lose. They object to the older genera t ion ' s reluctance to s h a r e in their ideal-ism. They see solut ions for the problems of racial d iscr iminat ion and poverty beg inn ing only when the more conservat ive older gen-erat ion is replaced by the young .

actually securing a place for him-self in any par t icu lar class. The final regis t ra t ion process is involved, cumber some and time-consuming. We have at our disposal a well-equipped d a t a pro-cessing center which at present handles only a small par t of the process ."

PAUL V A N PERNIS pointed out that the Senate should have some concrete p roposa l s for im-provements in the system before the mot ion was b rough t to a student-faculty committee. Clav-er answered that he hoped to have changes implemented before sec-ond semester begins, and if the idea were referred to a Senate com-mittee, the work would not be done in time.

They feel that there is much of the s ame anti-intellectualism in their elders which the Yugoslav youths spp in the "p r imi t ives . "

B U T T H E TWO student move-ments are l inked b y more than the discontent of al ienat ion; both have used essent ia l ly the same tactics in t ry ing to achieve the chief voice for their protests; both use street d e m o n s t r a t i o n s to publi-cize their position a n d exert poli-tical pressure; bo th movements have used the tactics of seizing univers i ty bu i ld ings ; both alter-nately use p rope r channe ls and radical measu res to a d v a n c e their positions; both seek to organize at both the n a t i o n a l and local

levels. Both a lso have m a n y of the

same problems. Neither student power movement , for example , h a s achieved effective coord ina-tion of student efforts.

S T U D E N T POWER IN both Yugos lav ia and the United States suffers f r o m a lack of a fully-trusted or representa t ive central-ized agency. Both nat ions a l so suffer f rom the lack of a single student leader such as is found in G e r m a n y and France . Student power is essential ly a d i so rgan-ized movement in both countries, ope ra t ing effectively only on the local level of the college or uni-versity.

In addi t ion to s h a r i n g the same root cause of genera t iona l aliena-tion, m a n y of the same tactics and m a n y of the s a m e problems, the student movemen t s in Yugo-s lavia and the United States sha re essential ly the s a m e long- range goal -enhanced power for the stu-dents.

T H E R E IS N O real difference in terms of l ong - r ange objectives between a movemen t with limited, material ist ic g o a l s and one with b r o a d , idealistic goals . In both Yugos lav ia and the United States student g r o u p s a re at tempting to assert the op in ions of the post-war genera t ion over the war t ime genera t ion . Both movemen t s are at tempting to achieve their some-

w h a t different g o a l s th rough the use of student pressure. The two movements are deve lop ing a new pattern and method of c h a n g e which will h a v e p r o f o u n d effects in the future for the societies of Yugo-s lavia and the United States.

After five minutes of discussion, F r a n H o o p e r pointed out, "We don ' t know e n o u g h about it to even talk abou t it ." Tim Liggett then moved that the mot ion be tabled.

CLAVER ALSOMOVED i n a n effort to e n h a n c e the safety and convenience of the entire student body . . . that the ma in tenance depa r tmen t be requested to ad jus t the o u t d o o r l ights on c a m p u s so that they come on at dusk and do not g o off until one ha l f -hour after women ' s c los ing ."

A1 Pedersen moved " t h a t the College create a depar tment of in terdisc ip l inary studies, without a c h a i r m a n a n d without a faculty, directly under the supervis ion of the D e a n f o r Academic Affa i rs . "

Top Students Elect Pass-fail By Lynn Jones

Asst. News Editor

The pass-fail system this semes-ter h a s tended to attract Hope students with good academic re-cords .

STATISTICS I N D I C A T E that the ave rage g r a d e point of the 62 s tudents current ly t ak ing pass-fail is 2 .878 . F o r t y students have a GPA above 2.8, 22 are below 2 .8 and only three are below 2.0.

The pass-fail system, initiated last semester, is bas ical ly an op-por tuni ty for a student to take a course outside of his m a j o r , with-out the worry of a g rade , sa id Dean for Academic Affairs Mor-rette Rider.

This system, ava i lab le for jun-iors and seniors only, is governed by several regulat ions. Only one course can be taken per semester on the pass-fail basis . The stu-

dent will receive credit for this course.

T H E COURSE M U S T be out side a s tudent ' s m a j o r and can-not be a course required by cither the College or the depar tment of the s tudent 's m a j o r . Students must perform all the work in thecourse and fulfill all regular course re-q u i r e m e n t to the sat isfact ion of the instructor.

DEAN RIDER SAID that the f reshmen and s o p h o m o r e s do not come under the pass-fail system because these years a re basically concerned with t ak ing most of the required courses for g r a d u a t i o n and that these first two years give the student the chance to establish himself to m a k e sure that he can do the work required of him.

" The need for b r o a d integrated p r o g r a m s in the hu-manities, in social sciences, a n d between these d iv is ions and the na tu ra l sciences, is suppor ted b y the social and cultural cri-ses of our times. The b r i n g i n g together of faculty with va ry -ing disciplines, methodologies , interests, and talents in a course with a c o m m o n concern for the exp lora t ion of a topic a long

interdiscipl inary lines, effective-ly combine relevance, innova-tion and a concern for the es-tablished values of t radi t ional educat ion.

T H E IMPLEMENTATION: The Dean for Academic Af-

fairs would seek out and so-licit faculty members and de-par tments for course and pro-g r a m p r o p o s a l s which would meet the intent of the depart-ment of in terdiscipl inary stud-ies. Facul ty members would submit to the Dean course pro-posals or ideas. The Dean in coopera t ion with facul ty mem-bers and depa r tmen t s con-cerned would d r aw up specific p roposa l s which would then be fo rwarded for s tudy, structur-ing and action to the Curricu-lum Committee a n d / o r Acade-mic Affairs Board . All course offerings under the depar tment of in terdiscipl inary studies would be treated the s ame as new courses in any other Col-lege depar tmen t , and app roved or rejected by the p roper com-mittees and b o a r d s subject to faculty review. Courses in the depar tment of interdiscipl inary studies would g r a n t academic credit and could be listed as electives or as meeting certain core-curr iculum requirements as an al ternat ive to catalog-listed core-curr iculum courses with the a p p r o v a l of the de-par tment in which such a course is current ly required as part of the core.

Course offerings under the depa r tmen t of interdiscipl inary studies p rov ide the means for a c o m m o n a l i t y of interests and emphases and for the fo-cusing of diverse expertise on c o m m o n central objectives. As the size of o u r student b o d y and faculty increase, as new and more diverse a r eas are added to our curr iculum, there is need for a restressing of cen-tral objectives within the class-room. The depar tment of in-terdiscipl inary studies would provide a deliberately struc-tured m e a n s for the focus ing of the diverse assets of Hope Col-lege upon liberal educat ion.

IF T H E C O U R S E i s w o r t h t h r e e credits, and the student receives

a P (pas s ing ) , three hours of his ave rage GPA are averaged in with his point, s ay 2.8. If the student receives an F (fai l ing) , however, three hour s of zero are ave raged in with his GPA.

According to a study taken of the pass-fail system, five of the six b io logy m a j o r s tak ing pass-fail elected addi t ional math or physics courses , two of the four math ma-j o r s elected a science course and several of the psychology m a j o r s elected courses such as Social Case Work, Social Change and Philoso-phy of Religion.

S E V E R A L S T U D E N T S are t ak ing seemingly unrelated courses pass-fail this semester. A psycho logy m a j o r is tak ing Ba-sic Design, an English m a j o r is t ak ing The Age of the Renais-sance and Reformat ion (h i s tory) and a chemistry m a j o r is taking Phi losophy of Religion.

AAB Okays Courses And Pass-fail System (Cont inued f r o m page 1)

by c h a i r m a n Morrette Rider, Dean for Academic Affairs, noted that s tudents registered under the pass-fail system have an a v e r a g e grade-po in t of 2 .878 .

T H E S T A T E M E N T asserted that " the dis t r ibut ion of courses and the preceding in format ion would seem to indicate that the better s tudents a re utilizing the pass-fail system to explore a r e a s removed f rom their m a j o r a r ea of concentra t ion and that the basic intent of the pass-fail system to e n c o u r a g e this exp lo ra t ion is in la rge part being fulfil led."

In addit ion, the B o a r d discussed the possibility of creat ing a de-par tment of interdiscipl inary stud-ies, which would be without a c h a i r m a n and without a faculty, directly under the supervis ion of the Dean for Academic Affairs.

Frosh and Sophomore Coeds

To Compete for Nykerk Cup By Lynn Jones

Asst. News Editor

The mascul ine show of force over the Black River h a s reached its d a m p e n e d conclusion, and now it is time for the more delicate battle. It 's Nvkerk time aga in .

T H E FEMALE HALF of the f r e s h m a n a n d s o p h o m o r e classes will compete in the Nykerk C u p Compet i t ion Sa tu rday , Nov. 9, at 8 p.m. in the Civic Center. In cont ras t to the brute strength of the 1^11, the coeds will compete in song , d r a m a and o ra to ry .

The Class of '71, determined to keep the Nyke rk Cup, will present "Velvet Shoes" as their chora l se-lection. D iana Williams, director of the choir , said that the song fits the mood of the coeds, just as " M a t c h m a k e r " did last year. As-sistant director is L inda Dethmers and accompanis t is Lynn Jones.

The s o p h o m o r e play is an adap-tation of the "Wizard of Oz" and is directed by Ba rb Timmer . Leads in the play are Sandy Link, Dorothy; Sally Kors tange , scare-crow; S h a r o n Tucker, lion; Gin-ny Mrizek, the Wizard and N a n c y Schellenberg, tin w o o d s m a n .

ORATOR FOR T H E Class of '71 is F r a n Hooper , who is coached by senior Ann Slaughter .

The Class of '72, hoping to be awarded the Nyke rk Cup for the first time, will present " N a n -cy H a n k s , " a c o n t e m p o r a r y folk song, as their chora l selection. The choir is being directed by Caro l Wilterdink. Assistant direc-tor is N a n c y Peterson and re-hea r sa l accompanis t is Celia Hog-e n b o o m . The choir will have gui tar accompaniment d u r i n g its pe r formance .

" E a r l y F r o s t , " with a cast of five, is the play for the f reshmen. Cast members are Maggie Ber-etz, Gayle Puite, Jessica Sirrine, K a r e n Kent and M y r a Baas . Ac-cord ing to Jill Risser, co-director

of the play, " E a r l y F r o s t " is an Alfred Hitchcock-type mystery. Diane Parker will help direct the play. F r e s h m a n assistant is Sue Anp tman .

BARBARA D E H A A N , the f r e s h m a n ora to r , will be coached b y Ginnie Slater; and assisted by her c lassmate Becky Shadwell.

Representing the s o p h o m o r e c lass as c h a i r m a n is J a n Luben. Miss B a a s will be represent ing the f r e s h m a n class.

Judges for the plays will be Mrs. B a r b a r a Greenwood, Micha-el Lucas and Mrs. J o h n Paarl-berg. Oration judges will be Mrs. G u a r d Cook, Mrs. John Couni-h a m and Rev. William Burd . Mrs. E v o n n e Ritsema, Mrs. N o r m a B a u g h m a n and H a r v e y Meyer will judge the songs .

by the Curr icu lum Committee and this B o a r d , and the a p p r o v a l of a depar tment if an interdisci-p l inary course is to be substituted for one of its courses. And yet the plan is flexible enough to al-low expe r imen ta t ion , " Dr. Rider said.

" T h e r e ' s e n o u g h of a c h a n c e f o r success in the idea to w a r r a n t our t ry ing it ," he continued. " H o p e has not been a free-swinging in-novat ive college like Antioch, and there is m u c h to be said agains t Antioch's a p p r o a c h . "

"Yet we should not shy a w a y f rom t ry ing new things, if we don ' t get carr ied a w a y , " Dean Rider added.

In other action, the Boa rd ap-proved the creat ion of a course in non-western art and a course in m a j o r phi losophical works. The B o a r d a l so d ropped philoso-phy courses in epis temology and metaphysics . These changes had been a p p r o v e d by the Curr icu lum Committee

" M y teaching i s t r y i n g t o a r o u s e the search for ideas a n d c o m m u n i -cate them to the student. It is great to see a student realize he has dis-covered someth ing abou t himself in his work . When this happens , you k n o w there is a reason for art courses in an academic com-munity. A celebrat ion of what exists is my role as a teacher and an a r t i s t . "

IN C O M M E N T I N G O N h i s r o l e as an artist, Mr. Achepohl asser ts "a r t i s t s a re pi lgr ims in life, search-ing cons tan t ly for their locale. My work is involved in a jux tapo-sition of events, time as well as objects. As an artist , my job is to refocus the world on my own terms. It is exciting to select things which have m e a n i n g and to con-vey a light of m e a n i n g to a con-fused w o r l d . "

The process of renewal, which started in January 1968 , has meant a great at-tempt to strengthen the authority of the Communis t Party, awaken ing in our people the responsibil ity for the construction of social ism, renewing the l ove towards the Soviet people, and so m a k i n g soc ia l i sm a d y n a m i c force in international life.

Over and over aga in dur ing m y travels abroad I h a v e been asked if I w a s afraid of Soviet intervention. I h a v e a l w a y s stated that I considered it to be imposs ib le be-cause I v a l u e d so h igh ly the s tatesmanship and wi sdom of Soviet political leaders.

Dear Ed i to r , There is n o d o u b t in m y m i n d of the

He d o e s p r o v e to be log ica l ly cons is ten t , in tha t n o n e of the fa l l ac ies of logic were c o m -mitted, but Mr .

The m e d i a tha t Mr . B l a n t o n used to dis-p l a y his i d e a s is the col lege n e w s p a p e r . His p u r p o s e f o r wr i t ing th is e s s a y is v a g u e , with t w o possibi l i t ies tha t he seems to l e a n to. One is the abo l i t i on of white r a c i s m . T h e o the r is b l a c k s u p r e m a c y .

In Mr. B lanton ' s mind, ( t h r o u g h the statements that he m a k e s ) there are Hope students that are on stand-by-alert to form vigi lante g r o u p s that are ready to m a k e a public l ynch ing of a despondent black.

There is n o need for a compos i t i on connot ing the prejudices of white Hope because there is Virtual ly n o b igotry on the c a m p u s b y whites. At Hope, the racial problem w a s and is be ing kept at a min-imum on account of the fact that our stu-dents realize the supreme worth of the in-dividual . But, through the subtle act ions of the Black Coal i t ion and B o b Blanton ' s f l a m b o y a n t remarks , a white student re-ceives the impress ion that they are, in re-ality, a d v o c a t i n g black pseudo-equal i ty .

The mos t appropriate topic for dis-cuss ion in Mr. B lanton ' s next attempt for infallibility wou ld b e to concretely and ob-jectively de lve into the Black Coal i t ion and their desires pertaining to the Hope Col lege c a m p u s situation.

'Wade? tht By the renowned critic and cul-tural czar, Mr. Ronda esq.

CHAPTER ONE: in which the reviewer pays his debt to T H E LITTLE T H E A T E R .

Our age has not yet been spoiled with that kind of new criticism, that kind of hypercri t ical th inking which will not allow simple m o r a l lessons to be d r a w n f r o m the dai ly and bel ievable act ions of our kind of people. It is to the great credit of the Hope College Theater that they have seen fit to present us with a t h o r o u g h l y convincing, complex and subtle DRAMA eas-ily susceptible of unde r s t and ing by the simplest child a m o n g us, yet con ta in ing those pear ls of wis-dom so often cast as ide by t o d a y ' s pseudo-intellectuals a n d munici-pal reformers . So T H A N K YOU, L I T T L E T H E A T E R ; amid the pos tur ing and immora l i ty of so-called art ists like Crane , Nor r i s and (you mothers will forgive me) D R E I S E R , we have an example of the fai th of t o d a y ' s college stu-dent in the t r iumph of love and mora l i ty—" Under the Gasl ight ."

CHAPTER TWO: in which the re-viewer discusses the particulars of the presentation. PART ONE: T H E OLEOS.

Fresh f rom his tour of college c a m p u s e s with the road show " T h e Master Plan," Mr. Donald F i n n b r ings to the Little Theater s tage a combina t i on of high the-atr ical and low popula ren te r ta in -ment rare ly r ivaled in western Michigan. Between the acts of " U n d e r the Gas l igh t" Mr. F inn presents hear t - tugging oleos s t ra ight f rom the d a y s (oh, b r ing them back aga in ! ) of Ben But-ler 's B a n j o r a m a .

The 'Gol ly Sisters ( a n d Baby makes F o u r ) and Robbin and Rebecca Quilt s a n g in a touch-ing m a n n e r those s a m e songs of-

ten sung at college ice c ream so-cials.

The Front l ine F o u r quartet was jo ined by Mr. Howard , whose ren-di t ion of "When This Lousy War

*

is Over" was doubt less meant for wars other than our present h o n o r a b l e conflict with High culture was a l so provided by Mr. Oonk ' s tenor rendition of " T h e Moth and the F l a m e . " Mr. Oonk is to be encouraged to continue his s inging lessons.

The oleo closest to the high m o r a l intent of the d r a m a was M a d a m e T a s s a r d ' s T r o u p e of Living Statues and their presen-tation of the Seven Deadly Sins. This reviewer for one was pleased to see m o r a l lessons presented so clearly, without hedging; we also suggest the utilization of Miss Cur-ry ' s talents in presentat ions of some of the other sins as well— can ' t o v e r d o a good thing.

PART TWO: THEDRAMA IPSE Essential to the success of " U n -

der the Gas l igh t " was the accom-paniment provided by Mr. Bil-lie Schwartz. His quicksi lver nim-bleness, his ability to sum up a charac te r in a few notes, his in-stinctive possession of the piano-forte—were, ah, quite good .

But the charac te rs on stage, the high m o r a l intent of such realis-tic charac te rs as Miss Spaeth, Miss H u b b a r d and Mr. Howard por-t rayed—here is the very w a r p and woof of h u m a n existence. Alas, the three above mentioned had p rob lems in clear ar t iculat ion and in compos ing ( a s it were) lines to replace those forgotten. B U T the d r a m a ' s pace slackened not a bit, its po r t r aya l of evil 's fall proceeded with the inevitability of J U S T I C E itself.

It is U N F O R T U N A T E that cha rac te r s of such t r a n s p a r e n t wickedness as Byke and Old Ju-d a s must be put on s tage in the purview of innocent eyes. Doubt-

Review of the News By Harold Kamm

Vietnam The complex negot ia t ions

s u r r o u n d i n g a halt in the Amer-ican b o m b i n g of Nor th Viet-nam showed less hope this week as a senior H a n o i d ip lomat ruled out a n y concessions in return for an end to American air ra ids .

Meanwhile, the battleship New Jersey for the second time in a week turned its 16-inch guns on-. Vie tnam's demili-tarized zone and delivered one of its heaviest b a r r a g e s in a month .

Bonn, West Germany A West G e r m a n prosecutor

announced the arrest of three persons accused of being Sov-iet agents and cha rged that they stole a U.S. -made Sidewinder missile and shipped it to Mos-cow by o r d i n a r y freight.

The disclosures came at the height of an e sp ionage scare in G e r m a n y marked b y mys-terious dea ths and d i sappear -ances of government and mil-i ta ry officials.

Prague, Czechoslovakia Tens of t h o u s a n d s of defiant

Czechs ended a d a y of anti-Soviet demons t ra t ions this

week with a ral ly in Wencelas Square as the na t ion celebrat-ed the 5()th a n n i v e r s a r y of its independence.

Ignor ing pleas f r o m their leaders to ref ra in f r o m acts that might prompt the Russ ians to reoccupy the city, c rowds shouted ant i -Russ ian s logans and spa t at a pass ing Soviet Army vehicle.

Washington, D.C. Democrat ic Senator Eugene

McCar thy announced this week that he would vote for Hubert H u m p h r e y for President even though Humphrey ' ^ posit ion on the principal issues " fa l l s fa r short of what I think it should be ."

Sen. McCarthy also an-nounced that, " 1 will not be a cand ida te of my par ty for re-election to the Senate f r o m the state of Minnesota in 1970. N o r will I seek the Presidential nomina t ion of the Democrat ic par ty in 1972 . "

Houston Dr. Joseph Cooper , c h a i r m a n

of Rice Universi ty political science depar tment , announced that President L y n d o n John-son will conduct a series of political science semina r s at Rice Univers i ty when he leaves the White House next J a n u a r y .

less the highly realistic por t ray-al of evil by Mr. T a m m i and Miss Noe does not contr ibute to the mora l nur ture of our young . Still, it is well that we see the E N E M Y for what he is, so that the next time one 's r o o m m a t e is found tied to the rails of the C&O, we may say, " A h a ! Byke aga in ! "

CHAPTER THREE: in which the reviewer comments on the leading character.

In the typically sensat ional re-viewing style of these latter days , 1 have put off discussing Mr. Kieft 's po r t r aya l of R a y T r a f f o r d . Apparent ly the d a y s of the read-ily identifiable hero are gone for-ever f rom our stage. We have wit-nessed the rise of the psycholog-ically complex charac te r , one whose motives appeal to the ana-lyst rather than to our honest and resolute public-at-large.

Given this novel complexi ty of character , Mr. Kieft p o r t r a y s Ray-Traf ford as one torn between L A U D A B L E affection for moth-er and society and LOVE for Miss Cor t land . Yet in the end so-ciety and mother are satisfied, and Ray reunited with Laura . It is an altogether sa t i s fy ing and true-to-life ending, and Mr. Kieft b r ings it off well. A word must be added about Mr. Kieft 's ex-tremely na tu ra l acting style. His unaffected gestures and stances added great ly to the REALISM of the DRAMA.

CHAPTER FOUR: in which the reviewer makes a few miscellan-eous comments, and takes his final bows.

It was, in sum, a thoroughly professional per formance , with

STARS A N D STRIPES FOREVER—The "real live niece of our Uncle Sam," played by Miss Curry, waves Old Glory in an oleo between scenes of "Under the Gaslight," which will be presented in

the Little Theater tonight and tomorrow night

ushers and usherettes in restrained g a r b singing in t roductory and ex t roduc tory songs. The lighting and setting contr ibuted to the

realism of the d r a m a , to the moral-ity of the theme and to the final inexorable t r iumph of LOVE and J USTICE.

The Time Has Come By Bob Blanton

I no longer can ignore racist people and acts of extremism on Hope College's c ampus . The time has come when I can no longer tolerate insults, and either can the Black Coali t ion. I feel as time passes certain people are willing to shove the issue of b u r n i n g crosses and s ign -hang ing under the table.

T H E ISSUE WILL no td ieunt i l there is a statement by the Ad-minis t ra t ion. Even if they printed a statement this week it still would not have been soon enough. It h a s only been four weeks. I want to believe that there are more peo-ple concerned about what is go ing on than just the people who have written statements to g o into the anchor . I want to know what is go ing to happen the next time a cross is bu rned or a sign is hung.

I do not mean to imply that a statement f r o m the Adminis t ra t ion would necessari ly s top those bigoted actions, but the Ad-minis t ra t ion must declare whose side it is on. These foolish people will then k n o w that if they d o it aga in , they s tand a chance of getting caugh t and b rough t to justice. As the s i tuat ion s t ands now, they will never be b r o u g h t to justice s imply because the Ad-minis t ra t ion has not even declared c ross -burn ing or s ign-hanging il-legal.

T H E BLACK COALITION pleads its case in the fol lowing statement and I find its a rgumen t sufficient to w a r r a n t a guilty ver-dict;

" T h e following public statement is addressed to the President of Hope College, Calvin Vander-Werf; Associate Deans Michael Gerrie and Jeannette Sprik, Dean of Student Affairs Robert_ De Young, and C h a p l a i n s William Hil legonds and Samuel Williams.

"We, The Black Coal i t ion, h a v e found it necessary t o e x p o u n d up-on the recent " a c t i o n s " taken by the Adminis t ra t ion a n d student b o d y of Hope College, with refer-ence to the " c r o s s - b u r n i n g " a n d the " s i g n " placed on Graves Hall .

M T H E WORD ACTIONS' is emphasized as to point out the fact that there has not been a n y public statement issued by the Adminis t ra t ion , either condemn-ing or a p p r o v i n g the actions men-tioned a b o v e by Hope College "ex t remis t s . "

" A r e such acts s o c o m m o n p l a c e that the Adminis t ra t ion fails to comment?

" O r ' shall we a s s u m e that the Adminis t ra t ion ' s silence is a tacit f o r m of a p p r o v a l ?

"Does the Adminis t ra t ion con-sider these acts of extremism of less impor tance than those taken

by male and female students on " p a n t y r a i d s " ?

"DOES T H E Adminis t ra t ion consider the delinquent chapel vio-la tors of '67 m o r e h a z a r d o u s than those extremists of '68; who not only jeopardize the ethics of this Chr is t ian institution, but ex-press their hypocr isy by "cross-b u r n i n g s " set down in the tradi-tions of the Ku Klux Clan?

"We, The Black Coali t ion, have waited patiently for an Ad-ministrat ive statement. We no longer ask , but demand an im-mediate public statement by the Administrat ion;

( 1 ) either condemning or ap-prov ing the earl ier mentioned acts of extremism;

<2) a detailed and public ac-c o u n t of the invest igat ion under-taken to b r ing the perpe t ra tors of said acts to justice;

( 3 ) the publ icat ion, in the anchor , of the n a m e s of those in-volved in said acts. " T H E TIME IS NOW!!!"

I, as well as the Black Coali-tion, canno t wait much longer for this statement. Like the statement said, "We no longer ask, but de-m a n d an immedia te statement b y the Admin i s t r a t ion . " N o one can condemn a g r o u p which is t ry ing to urge members of the Ad-minis t ra t ion to d o their duties as admin i s t ra to r s .

Campaign Spotlight—68

Campaign Lessons By Candy Marr

With only fou r d a y s remain ing before the presidential election. C a m p a i g n ' 6 8 merits and indeed d e m a n d s some serious reflection. Full as it h a s been of t r iumph and t ragedy, of shocks and sur-prises, and yet, pa radox ica l ly , of predictable outcomes, the cam-pa ign has been a field d a y for political car toonis ts , satirists and commenta to r s until there is seem-ingly noth ing left to be said. Yet,i a few conclusions m a y be drawn, a few lessons hopefully learned.

T H E CAMPAIGN LEAVES in its wake a s t rong sense that some-thing is drast ical ly wrong in the American political system and a hope, very near ly a promise , that 1972 will see some necessary and long-awaited changes in the way the nation chooses her Presidents. It leaves behirld a sense of con-fusion and lack of direction and yet a firm commitment to pro-gress and political change.

It leaves, too, a sense of be-wilderment and s h a m e that a hate-filled d e m a g o g u e like George Wal-lace could achieve so la rge a fol-lowing in a supposed ly freedom-loving, Chris t ian nat ion. At the

s a m e time, there r ema ins the con-viction that there are in bo th ma-jo r political part ies men of char -acter a n d commitment who can mot iva te the disenchanted youth and restore reason to the fear-crazed masses .

T H E R E IS M U C H to be learned f r o m C a m p a i g n ' 6 8 if America will take the pa ins to s tudy her les-sons. This year h a s shown the youth that they can, with dedica-tion and endurance , earn at least a por t ion of the political power to which their n u m b e r s entitle them. If m a n y now fail to realize that such power can be utilized to its full potential only if it is exercised within the existing political pro-cess, they will soon learn that their refusal to accept defeat, if it has a n y effect at all, will only help to elect those men with whom they have the least sympa thy .

Hopefully, the Spiro Agnewfias-co will be a lesson to all fu ture presidential a sp i r an t s that the se-cond spot on the ticket must be filled very careful ly , not for the sake of political compromise , but with an eye toward the gr im potentialities of that office in an

a p p a r e n t age of political assas-s inat ion. Those w h o a r g u e that the contest this year is between the Vice President and Mr. N ixon , not Sen. Muskie and Gov. Ag-new, would d o well to remember J 9 6 0 when the race was between Sen. Kennedy and Mr. Nixon , npt Sen. J o h n s o n and Mr. Lodge.

IF THE AMERICAN people learn noth ing m o r e f r o m th iscam-pa ign , they must see that the solu-tion to the disease which is eat ing a w a y at the hear t and soul of the nat ion canno t be found in at-tacking the s y m p t o m s . The re-s tora t ion of health and sani ty to a bitter and divided people will be accomplished only when an unde r s t and ing of the root causes of the d isorder is converted into a positive p r o g r a m for the treat-ment and cure of those causes themselves.

If the public opin ion polls a re a n y real indication of how Ameri-ca feels about the candida tes , Rich-ard Nixon is still ahead ; but Hu-bert H u m p h r e y is g a i n i n g fast and George Wallace is s l ipping. And if the na t ion h a s learned any-thing so far , it is that no th ing in this election is certain.

The Red Coalition By Dave Allen

Women's Smoking Regulations

Will Be Reviewed by Council

The attic of Van Raalte was astir with the excitement of the firsi meeting of the Red Coali t ion. Both members were f ro th ing with rage and d a n c i n g such wild Indian war dances that order could hard ly be restored and a n y sense of o rganiza t ion main ta ined .

THE MEMBERS, however, were b r o u g h t quickly to their sen-ses when they realized that the fire they'd built on the f loor was fast g rowing larger . In the nick of time they ad jou rned to the front pew of the Meditation Chapel just before Van Raalte fell into a pile of ashes.

Chief Hai ry F inge r s opened the meeting by appo in t ing himself non-leader of the first degree. He s u m m a r i l y m a d e the rest of the coali t ion, Q u a n o - Breath-Smok-ing Sneakers , cap ta in of the con-stitutional improvis iona l write up committee. This made Q u a n o so h a p p y he stayed a w a k e for three full minutes. Fingers , hav ing caught his Blood Brother ' s atten-tion, f inally got down to the busi-ness at hand .

" Q u a n o , " he said, "f irs t of all we must realize our role, our bag , our Thing! We're red, and we're d a r n proud of it and since it is an " I n " color these d a y s we should realize our full potential and really capitalize upon the mat-ter ."

"LIKE HOW, F inge r s?" Q u a n o said.

" B y really letting the Whites know we're Red and by over-re-acting to a s i tuat ion to such a point as to blow it out of propor-tion to its real re levance."

"Yeah , 1 g o t c h a , " Q u a n o said, "bu t I've a lways been Red, or at least a d a r k shade of pink. Be-sides, better we should go out and bu rn draf t c a rds to create a situa-t ion."

The conference studied the role of the state educat ion agency in the development of p r o g r a m s in student teaching.

Miss Girton spoke about Hope College's "min i - t each ing" pro-g ram. This is an innovat ive pro-g r a m for e lementary teacher edu-cation students which has received nat ional recognition. The pro-g r a m provides practical experi-ence prior to the n o r m a l student teaching experience.

Miss Girton, f rom Sturgis, Mich-igan, is the president of the Hope College chapter of the Student Educat ion Associat ion. She is pre-sently student teaching at Wood-side Elementary School.

" S O U N D S NIFTY, F ingers ; lay some more jive in my e a r . "

"Ok<jy! Now the first thing off we hold everyone a r o u n d here responsible for their forefa thers ' crimes aga ins t us. This is really best since it'll confuse matters, yet we can still hold an intangible g r a s p on an insoluble p rob lem."

" G o b a b y . Go!"

"Yeah , then to really incite them we'll walk arol ind with our fore-fathers ' culture h a n g i n g all over us. Head dresses, loin clothes, paint on our faces, the whole gig. And if a n y one calls us Ind ians we'll m a k e them call as Red or at least Americo - Amer icans ."

" Nea t sy keeno."

" I T L L TAKE a whilebut slow-ly they'll notice us. Like first off we'll write a n g r y comments in the school p a p e r . "

" Like what. '

"We'll hit the editor with poor use of preposi t ions and misspelled words. Then they'll make you a reporter or some th ing . "

Q u a n o shrieked, "But 1 don ' t write too g o o d . "

" N o sweat, you don ' t have to. .lust get a n g r y and make Indian blanket statements about any-thing that pops into your head. But allow me to go o n . "

BY THIS TIME Q u a n o was back to sleep.

F ingers continued. " S o then we'll d e m a n d all sor ts of insane privileges like reviewing all In-d ians before they 're allowed in

" A n y h o w , " F inge r s went on, " the neat thing will be that we r a n admit to being as a body of the whole where we're proud of our act ions and when we make fools of ourselves we'll d i savow the event as coincidental!y Red. We will cont inue our meetings on an i r regular basis , keep them secret and do no th ing construct ive."

"SWEET, BABY, sweet. Tell me again what we're going to ac-complish this w a y . "

"Well, first of all the Red Pro-blem or should 1 call it the Red Menace — (it 's catchier 1 think) — anyhow the Red Menace will be brought to light and expanded beyond r e a s o n . "

"Man , this is a neat club. This is the neatest club I 've been in

since 1 w a s an official member of the Sp ide rman F a n Club!"

The meeting b r o k e u p when Fin-gers left and about half an hour later Q u a n o , realizing it was over , stumbled out, back into oblivion.

THE RED COALITION swept onto c a m p u s and the Blood Bro-thers socked their identity to every-one. Unfor tuna te ly , however, the whole th ing was received with a blast of en thus iasm border ing on apathy . Several white students who noticed it, t hough , felt that it was bas ica l ly an affront that the problems of the reservat ion, so far f r o m them^should be aired here. Eve ryone else ignored them, since it w a s all too real for their blood a n d yet somehow too v a g u e a quest ion with which to be both-ered. So, as all good things do , it shifted slowly into the ashes of time a n d meaninglessness.

A proposa l h a s been presented to AWS which would, if passed t h rough the p roper channels , give the House B o a r d s of each d o r m power to allow individual clusters and f loors to decide if s m o k i n g would be allowed in the r o o m s .

N O ACTION HAS yet been taken on the p roposa l . It will be b r o u g h t up a g a i n Tuesday at the next AWS Council meeting.

T o go into effect, the p roposa l would first have to be passed by the AWS Council , and then by the C a m p u s Life Board .

AWS Council President Debbie Delp said, " T h i s p roposa l would involve a shift in power f r o m the AWS to the individual house b o a r d s , and ult imately to the girls themselves. Therefore we aren ' t sure how far it will g o . "

T H E RATIONALE behind the p roposa l stated that " ru les like these are best m a d e by the in-d iv idua l s who are to live under them."

A campus-wide poll of women students will be sponsored by AWS next week to make known opinion concerning this issue. Each w o m a n will be asked to give her opinion of al lowing s m o k i n g in d o r m lounges and in indiv idual rooms .

T H E PROPOSAL RAISED m u c h discussion a m o n g AWS members . Lynn Jones , an AWS representative, sa id , " T h e c o n s e n -sus of AWS members seemed to be that the ra t ionale was sound , but the p roposa l left m a n y quest ions unanswered . " She went on to explain that there might be a difficult s i tuation in Voorhees Hall, where s m o k i n g in individual r o o m s might constitute a ser ious fire hazard .

Another AWS representative, Shirley Lawrence, said, "Al-though p robab ly a ma jo r i ty of women students do not smoke, we hay^ m a d e p rov i s ions fo r the gir ls who1 do; it would be best to allow each' individual d o r m to make its own decision with, of course, the initial app rova l of the Adminis t ra-t ion."

Miss Lawrence went on to say that before t ak ing action on the issue, AWS should first investi-gate the reasons behind the pre-sent AWS ruling which does not allow smok ing in individual rooms.

Another AWS member , Jill Leach, stated that the polls taken next week will p r o b a b l y great ly influence the action of the AWS and other ru le-making bodies deal ing with the issue.

Late Score Wins

Dutchmen Down Kazoo, 7-2

LEGGING IT OUT—Rick Bruggers moves ahead of defending MIAA running champion John Wismer in a cross-country meet against Kalamazoo. Ka lamazoo won, 2 0 - 3 9 .

Cross Country Loses; Bruggers Takes First

By Ric Scott anchor Reporter

Keeping their hopes for second place alive, Hope downed t h e K a -l a m a z o o Hornets , 7-2, in a defen-sive battle S a t u r d a y before a K a l a m a z o o homecoming crowd.

DEALING T H E H O R N E T S their third loss in four decisions in MIAA competi t ion, Hope ' s overal l record is now 4-3. With a 2-2 conference s t and ing , the Dutch can finish second with a win over Albion tomor row.

Hope scored its only touchdown ear ly in the four th q u a r t e r on a Groy Kape r to H a r r y R u m o h r pass . After f ak ing to the middle of the line, Kaper found R u m o h r all alone in the end zone. G a r y Frens 'k ick was good.

KALAMAZOO'S ONLY score c a m e on an intentional safety. F a c i n g a four th down si tuat ion on Hope's own four ya rd 'line, Coach Russ DeVette decided to give the Hornets two points. Be-cause of the possibili ty of a block-ed punt, Bob H a v e m a n received the s n a p f r o m center in the end zone and downed the ball for a safety with only 1:23 left in the game .

Getting the ball on their own 35 f r o m the resulting kick-off, Ka la -

m a z o o marched to the 29 y a r d line of Hope. With only 12 se-: o n d s r ema in ing on the clock, the Hornet q u a r t e r b a c k , Gary Arm-st rong, then threw two incomplete passes in the end zone to end the game .

ALTHOUGH KALAMAZOO had more first downs (13 -11) and more total y a r d a g e (256-186), the Horne ts could not score and only rarely enter-ed Dutch terri tory. Only once in the first half did the Hornets c ross the 50 yard line, as kicker J o h n Keck faked a punt and ran the ball to Hope 's 48.

A fumble by Kape r on his own 40 gave K a z o o their first oppor -tunity to score. On the second play, after the fumble , an Arm-s t rong to Lee Techner pass cover-ed 32 y a r d s and put the ball on the Hope eight. Two p lays later, a h a r d tackle by Hope lineback-er Bill Leismer shook the ball loose for a R u m o h r recovery.

AFTER THIS T U R N of events, Kape r directed a dr ive to Ka la -m a z o o ' s 40 y a r d line before be-ing s topped. The big play in this drive was a 2 2 - y a r d pass to end Bill Beckering. Punting for an injured Frens, H a v e m a n kicked the ball to the Hornet four.

Three p lays later, the Horne t s were faced with a punt ing situ a-

Kickers Beat Kazoo, 5-0; Lose to MacMurray, 4-0

Last S a t u r d a y a f t e rnoon the Hope College cross coun t ry squad lost to undefeated K a l a m a z o o 20-39 , putting Hope ' s won-lost record at 2-3.

Rick Brugger s for the seventh straight time this season took first place hono r s with the time of 20:32.5, upset t ing the K a l a m a -zoo course ' s fo rmer record of 20: 50. Rick Bisson placed seventh for the Dutch; Gene Houlenbeek r a n ninth; Bruce Geelhoed was tenth and Dan Colenbrander was twelfth.

T o m o r r o w the Dutchmen will face Albion dur ing the halft ime

of the Hope-Albion footbal l g a m e at Albion. A win on S a t u r d a y would put- Hope in fourth place in overal l MIAA competit ion.

The ha r r i e r s ' last MIAAcompe-tition will be the MIAA league meet at Olivet, Tuesday af te rnoon at 2. According to Dutch coach B a r r y Werkman , seven m e m b e r s f rom each of the seven schools in the League will run in the meet.

" T h e league s tandings will be based on the n u m b e r of points the t eam h a s won in the r egu l a r season and how well they per-fo rm at the league meet next Tues-d a y , " said the coach.

In soccer action last week Hope lost to MacMur ray College, 4-0 a n d then came back to defeat Kal-a m a z o o , 5-0.

These g a m e s left Hope with a 5-3 overall soccer record.

T H E LOSS T O M a c M u r r a y l a s t S a t u r d a y was costly to the Dutch, d r o p p i n g them to a tie for third place in the M i l soccer confer-ence with a 2-2 record.

The Dutch rebounded T u e s d a y in the K a l a m a z o o game. In this contest Manuel C u b a scored twice to raise his season total to 13 goals. Fred Schutmaat , Jeff Alperin and Jer ry Vandewerken a l so scored.

Faces Albion Tomorrow

Hope Vies for Second Spot

Coach William Vanderbi l t said that Hope " w a s out-hustled for p r o b a b l y the first time this y e a r " aga ins t M a c M u r r a y . "I t seemed M a c M u r r a y h a s h a d a r a the r f ru s -t ra t ing time this year , p lay ing well but not winning. They were more h u n g r y , " he said.

AGAINST KALAMAZOO the coach felt the team played a " g o o d g a m e , " s ta t ing that "we passed the ball quite well."

In the M i l soccer conference E a r l h a m is in first with a 3-0-1 record, with Wheaton, 2-1-1, in second. Lake Fores t with a 1-1-2 record is tied for third with Hope.

This a f t e rnoon at 3, Hope will p lay its final home g a m e in an impor tan t contest agains t Lake Forest .

T H E GAME WILL m a r k the final home a p p e a r a n c e of fou r Hope players: Fred Schutmaat , Tony Mock, J im Knott and Tim T a m .

tion. Dropp ing back, the Hornet punter kicked the ball off the side of his foot , and Hope took over on K a l a m a z o o ' s 21. F ive p lays and a first down later, Kaper hit R u m o h r in the end zone for Hope ' s only tally.

N A T E BOWLES WAS the work horse for the Dutch offense with 105 y a r d s in 29 carr ies for a 3 .62 ave rage .

Hit t ing on 5 out of 8 passes, K a p e r threw for 60 y a r d s passing, but was thrown for a total loss of 32 y a r d s at tempting to pass. The Horne t s ' A r m s t r o n g completed eight of 2 3 attempts.

Al though K a l a m a z o o domin-ated much of the first half statis-tics, one statistic played a large part in their ability. The Hornets lost nea r ly 20 y a r d s a punt in the first half , with F rens ave rag ing 49 .2 y a r d s each punt to Kala-m a z o o ' s 30.8.

COACH D E V E T T E praised the p e r f o r m a n c e of the defense, and the kicking of H a v e m a n . The de-fense allowed 171 y a r d s rush ing and caused five fumbles, three of which they recovered.

Arkies Capture Football Crown

The fall i n t r amura l season h a s concluded with three close spor t contests in golf, tennis and foot-ball .

The f ra te rn i ty footbal l champ-ionship was officially won Wednesday by the unbeaten Ark-ies when they defeated APO, 18-12. The crucial match for the

foo tba l l champ ionsh ip , however, occurred last week when the Ark-ies s topped the then - undefeated F ra t e r s , 30-12.

With the defeat of APO the Ark-ies wound up the season 7-0. The F ra t e r s are 5-1 and the C o s m o s are 4-1-1. The F r a t e r s and the C o s m o s will meet t oday at 4 : 1 5 for their final match.

In tennis the C o s m o s and the F r a t e r s are vy ing for first place. Both went into last S a t u r d a y ' s g a m e undefeated. The F ra t e r s came out of this contest v ic tor ious winning two of the three matches. The Cosmos ended up in second place, Emmies in third and the Arkies fourth. There are still a few matches to be played.

The golf champ ionsh ip , which was decided a few weeks ago, was taken b y the Arkies, who a g a i n defeated the Fra te rs . The Arkie s t roke total was 712, with the F r a t e r s close behind with 716.

The 1968 football season for the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association comes to an end this Saturday.

All the final team standings are still in doubt with the exception of Alma, which, still undefeated, should secure its second straight championship as they face the lowly Kalamazoo Hornets.

MORE I N T E R E S T WILL be centered on the battle between Al-bion and Hope. Albion is current-ly in second place with a 3-1 record while the Dutch hold third with a 2-2 mark. Both teams have 4-3 overall records. Since this is the final game in conference play.

Rider Will Open Student Council Meeting at Hope

Approximately 3 5 0 high school student council members will be on campus from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Tuesday.

The students and their advisors will represent near ly40 West Mich-igan high schools in a conference on the problems facing student government.

The keynote address, "The Re-sponsibilities of Youth in Today's Society," will be followed by semi-nar groups on basic issues con-fronting student councils. Dr. Mor-rette Rider, Dean for Academic Affairs, will welcome the group to Hope College.

Hope can tie for second place with a win.

Statistically, the Britons hold a decisive edge over Hope on de-fense, g iv ing u p just 54 points as c o m p a r e d to 106 opponent tallies aga ins t the Dutch.

On offense, both teams a re equal with 77 points each. Albion 's de-fense aga ins t the pass, the best in the conference, will be tested as they match u p aga ins t the second best pass ing attack in the con-ference.

IF T H E D U T C H pass ing attack fails, it will be difficult to fall back on the g r o u n d g a m e aga ins t a team that is second only to A l m a in overal l defense.

H o p e will be count ing heavi ly on its Groy Kape r to Bill Bek-ker ing pass combina t ion and the r u n n i n g of Na t e Bowles, who h a s been Coach Russ DeVette's work-horse on the g r o u n d this season.

Bekker ing is the second leading pa s s receiver in the conference at this point and with a good g a m e S a t u r d a y could pass leader Kur t Chubner of Olivet.

ALSO OF S I G N I F I C A N C E is the fact that Bowles s t ands ninth in the na t ional NCAA College Division r a n k i n g s with an all-g a m e total of 784 y a r d s in 163 car r ies for a fine 4 . 8 y a r d a g e average .

Ha l fback J i m m y Bell is the big n a m e on the Briton offensive s q u a d and the second l ead ing scorer in the MIAA. He also h a s a phenomena l 131 y a r d s in just 5 pass receptions.
