Presidential hunt begins

by Gerald Swieringa T h e f o r m a l search for a president of H o p e College began with the c o n v o c a t i o n J a n u a r y 19, of the Presidential Search C o m m i t tee.

IT IS THE c o m m i t t e e ' s responsibility t o suggest, discuss and r e c o m m e n d possible c a n d i d a t e s for t h e p r e s i d e n c y to t h e Board of T r u s t e e s , w h o will m a k e the final selection.

Mrs. N o r m a n V i n c e n t Peale, c h a i r m a n of the c o m m i t t e e and a m e m b e r of the Board of T r u s t e e s s t a t e d , "We had a very splendid m e e t i n g r e c e n t l y . " She dicusssed the policy being f o l l o w e d by t h e c o m m i t t e e in its search: "We ask friends, a l u m n i , and associates t o m a k e r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s , and we have several excellent recomm e n d a t i o n s at the present t i m e . " THOSE r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s had n u m b e r e d at least 50 prior t o T u e s d a y ' s m e e t i n g . At t h a t m e e t -

ing, t h e n u m b e r was cut to 15.

T h e c o m m i t t e e , h o w e v e r , is still soliciting n a m e s and a m o r e complete list is e x p e c t e d . C u r r e n t l y , the list of c a n d i d a t e s i n c l u d e s university p r e s i d e n t s , deans, busin e s s m e n , and professors. N a m e s have not been divulged.

While a d e f i n i t e d e a d l i n e has not been established, there is a s t r o n g feeling a m o n g m e m b e r s of the c o m m i t t e e that their search will p r o v i d e Hope College with a president by the fall term of 1971. Dr. Paul Fried, c h a i r m a n of H o p e ' s history d e p a r t m e n t and a m e m b e r of the search c o m m i t t e e , said he was "very e n c o u r a g e d " by the c o m m i t t e e ' s work so far.

"WE HAVE A V E R Y solid and very b r o a d spread of c a n d i d a t e s , " he a d d e d , " a n d it is the feeling of the c o m m i t t e e that we will be able to d e c i d e on a p r e s i d e n t b e f o r e t h e next a c a d e m i c y e a r .

Since the lure of f o o d is c o m m o n l y an irresistable o n e , b e c k o n i n g strongly in t h e lives of most college s t u d e n t s , I feel t h a t it is a b o u t time that s o m e o n e took up the interest of H o p e ' s eating s t u d e n t b o d y and publicized t h e existence of various f o o d - p r e p a r i n g e s t a b l i s h m e n t s especially suited t o their u n i q u e needs.

Down 14 percent

Out-of-state applications drop

by Martha Mulder F r e s h m a n a p p l i c a t i o n s f o r admission in the fall of 1971 are down 9-10 percent, according to H o p e ' s a d m i s s i o n s advisors.

I N C R E A S E D COST OF t u i t i o n combined with the economicc o n d i t i o n of the c o u n t r y was cited as t h e primary reason for the decrease.

Dean of s t u d e n t s and a c t i n g D i r e c t o r of Admissions, R o b e r t De Y o u n g , r e p o r t e d that f r e s h m a n applications from out-of-state high school seniors are d o w n by 14 p e r c e n t . A p p l i c a t i o n s received f r o m Michigan are a b o u t equal to those received at this t i m e last year.

D E Y O U N G A D D E D that the n u m b e r of high school g r a d u a t e s is levelling off because the b o o m of war babies from World War II and the Korean War has now e n d e d . C o n s e q u e n t l y , universities and colleges all over the c o u n t r y suspect that they will e x p e r i e n c e a p r o b l e m in new s t u d e n t enrollment.

A l t h o u g h all reasons now being presented are c o n j e c t u r e , c o n c e r n is increasing due to the p r o b l e m .

D e Y o u n g m e n t i o n e d that a number of liberal arts colleges will be c o n d u c t i n g "a study as the year progresses to d e t e r m i n e w h y this p r o b l e m has o c c u r r e d and w h e r e we are we m e a n i n g colleges all over t h e U n i t e d S t a t e s . "

PHILLIP TOPPEN, Assistant D i r e c t o r of A d m i s s i o n s , suggested that t h e d r a f t may be a f f e c t i n g enrollment.

Furthermore, he specified, "40-50 percent of H o p e ' s s t u d e n t s are m e m b e r s of the R e f o r m e d C h u r c h of A m e r i c a , whose family m e m b e r s h i p being primarily moderately-incomed, would find it especially d i f f i c u l t to meet the d e m a n d s of a private school e d u c a t i o n . " F i n a l l y , both D e Y o u n g and T o p p e n agreed that m o r e s t u d e n t s are f i n d i n g it necessary to a t t e n d j u n i o r colleges, due to lack of f u n d s . T h e y were not sure, however, w h e t h e r or not the n u m b e r of t r a n s f e r s t u d e n t s c o m p e n s a t e s for t h e decrease in f r e s h m a n enrollment.

The A d m i s s i o n s O f f i c e is also carrying o u t a " v i g o r o u s mailing campaign," DeYoung stated.

O F F I C I A L REPRIEVE—Van Raalte Hail, c o n d e m n e d as unsafe for classroom use in D e c e m b e r , 1 9 6 9 , remains in use as a result of c o n c e s s i o n s made by state fire officials.

Van Raalte to be used despite legal pressure

O n e of the main o b j e c t i v e s of the f i r e d e p a r t m e n t is the basic design of Van R a a l t e , p a r t i c u l a r l y the large o p e n s t a i r w a y in t h e c e n t e r of the building, r e p o r t e d H a n d l o g t e n . " A n y w o r t h w h i l e imp r o v e m e n t s w o u l d be of such a n a t u r e that it hardly p a y s t o b e g i n , " he said.

IN D E C E M B E R 1 9 6 9 , the Fire Marshall issued an a b a t e m e n t o r d e r to the college giving t h e m thirty d a y s t o c o m p l y with fire regulations. At the time the college asked f o r an e x t e n s i o n of the d e a d l i n e so that t h e Board of T r u s t e e s could c o n s i d e r possible action.

According to Handlogten, " a n y decision a f f e c t i n g the life of t h e b u i l d i n g " m u s t be m a d e by the b o a r d . A t e a m of n e g o t i a t o r s , h e a d e d by Board secretary Willard Wichers, was a p p o i n t e d t o meet with s t a t e officials.

T H E N E G O T I A T O R S and t h e fire o f f i c i a l s have met p e r i o d i c a l l y and a compromise has b e e n r e a c h e d . A c c o r d i n g t o the fire d e p a r t m e n t , t h e y are m e r e l y interested in e n f o r c i n g t h e law. " I t would be u n r e a s o n a b l e t o say t h a t the college m u s t c o m p l y within a few d a y s or m o n t h s , " s t a t e d an official of the fire d e p a r t m e n t .

T h e college, stated H a n d l o g t e n , w o u l d like to c o m p l y w i t h the fire regulations, b u t f u n d s are unavailable. At the p r e s e n t time c o m p l e tion of the c u l t u r a l c e n t e r is considered more important than r e m o d e l i n g V a n Raalte. " W e have held t h e m off and told t h e m we had o t h e r t h i n g s , " H a n d l o g t e n said.

THE ADMINISTRATIONS p r e s e n t plan is to c o n t i n u e to use Van Raalte Hall f o r c l a s s r o o m s until o t h e r a r r a n g e m e n t s can be made. Eventually, the building will be c o n v e r t e d i n t o o f f i c e space, as the r e g u l a t i o n s g o v e r n i n g o f f i c e s are n o t as d e m a n d i n g as those g o v e r n i n g c l a s s r o o m s . When a d e q u a t e space is available elsew h e r e , the b u i l d i n g w o u l d be razed.

C o n c e r n i n g plans to utilize the DCC f o r c l a s s r o o m space, H a n d logten said, " W e have talked a b o u t it s o m e . It is nice t o have s o m e t h i n g in r e s e r v e . " T h e fire o f f i c i a l s may pressure t h e college to e v a c u a t e t h e third f l o o r of V a n Raalte, Handlogten added. The college could p r e f e r t o r e s p o n d t o the d e m a n d s of the fire d e p a r t m e n t r a t h e r t h a n use t h e C u l t u r a l C e n t e r f o r classes, he n o t e d .

I n t e r n a t i o n a l e d u c a t i o n is not merely a q u e s t i o n of u n d e r t a k i n g academic study in a f o r e i g n c o u n t r y ; it involves a d j u s t m e n t t o a c u l t u r e , a w a y of life, w h i c h d i f f e r s f r o m t h a t in the U n i t e d States.

MOST OF THE students who recently returned have voiced criticism of o n e or m o r e a s p e c t s of t h e G r e n o b l e p r o g r a m .

Cautions and suggestions

DICK NO, Just CH6CK

anticipated that every excellent candidate will f i n d w i t h i n that community an environment in which his own growth may be advanced.

Therefore the committee must familiarize the candidate w i t h the College, and to this end engage the candidate in the dialogue and debate of the student body. It is unfair to both the committee and the candidates to demand the names of those being considered, but when several select candidates have been determined, they should be given a fair preview of their potential home.

Finally the committee's refusal to publicize the criteria whereby their decisions are based reflects a breach of honesty that cannot go uncriticized. Unless such criteria is made known, the committee is defenseless in its autocratic posture. Of even greater import are the candidates dismissed from consideration prior to the rewriting of the criteria.

Such a search, if it is to be honorably concluded, is deserving of the patience and trust of the student body. The committee has upheld that trust, and the students should maintain it.

There exist, however, several potentially dangerous developments which may hamper the successful conclusion of the search.

The first of these is the retention of the services of the Rohras, Hibler and Replogle consulting firm. The employment of professional business psychologists in the selection of a

The p e r m a n e n t challenge to those w h o lay claim to being civilized is to rise above their e n v i r o n m e n t and to d o m i n a t e it, rather t h a n to be d o m i n a t e d by that e n v i r o n m e n t .

The sperm bank

by Art Buchwaid Science is now fiddling with animal sperm b a n k s . It is already possible t h r o u g h deep-freeze m e t h o d s to save the r e p r o d u c tive i n g r e d i e n t s of a great bull for several years, and t h e n , by artificial i n s e m i n a t i o n , to p r o d u c e a calf w h o s e f a t h e r may have long g o n e o n to that great cow pasture in the sky.

LUCY KAVALER IN THE New York Times has suggested that if there are n o w banks f o r animals, we s h o u l d start t h i n k i n g in t e r m s of h u m a n beings. She suggestes that the r e p r o d u c t i v e cells of great men could be f r o z e n and b a n k e d for f u t u r e generations.

Miss Kavaler foresees a t i m e , in the not too distant f u t u r e , w h e n a man and wife would be able to go d o w n to their local test t u b e b a n k and select the child of their dreams.

So d o we.

IT IS THE YEAR 2 0 0 1 and a couple walks into the First N a t i o n a l Test T u b e Bank of New Y o r k . T h e y are ushered into an icebox where the vice p r e s i d e n t , bundled u p in a sheepskin c o a t , asks t h e m to state their business.

The wife says, "I w o u l d like either a n o t h e r A r t h u r R u b i n s t e i n or a Jasha Heifetz." " B u t , " says the h u s b a n d , ' ' h e should be able to t h r o w a f o o t b a l l like J o e N a m a t h . " T h e vice president says, " W e ' r e all out of A r t h u r R u b i n s t e i n s , Jasha Heifitzes and Joe N a m a t h s . T h e last of them went in 1996. Could I interest y o u in a N o r m a n Mailer or an Erich Segal?"

THE H U S B A N D SAYS, " I f y o u d o n ' t have a J o e N a m a t h , what about a good linebacker?"

T h e wife says, "I want my son to be a professional m a n . Maybe a d o c t o r . You d o n ' t have a J o n a s Salk sample a r o u n d , d o you?" " N o , I'm s o r r y , " the vice president replies. " T h e last genes of J o n a s Salk went in 1987."

Bloodless Heaven O n e can at times hear f r o m ministers that in Heaven there will be positively no national or racial s e p a r a t i o n , no discrimination and no sexual d i f f e r e n c e s . Religion will be the religion of the Angels and that is all; so your religion today may be rejected or not needed in Heaven.

But it seems to me that there may not be a n y nationality or race in Heaven because there will be n o b l o o d . Flesh and blood c a n n o t inherit Heaven so t h a t would eliminate national and racial blood. Man will not be raised on the terms of n a t u r e .

However, I believe t h a t if God desires to have races live b e f o r e Him that there will be an order for t h a t . O r d e r seems to be a big thing with G o d in t e r m s of everything a f t e r its own k i n d , and with its own k i n d , for its own k i n d , all for G o d . T h e international and interracial mix in the world t o d a y is the work of man not G o d .

Christianity t o d a y w a n t s to m a k e one race, one religion and one r e s t r o o m in Christ's name and all for the Devil!

But, the decisive f a c t o r is T h e Lord Is Coming!!

"Wait a m i n u t e , " the h u s b a n d says. " T h e M a r t o n s got a Picasso 20 years ago, but instead of him painting pictures, he b e c a m e a C o m m u n i s t and got married three t i m e s . " " W e l l , " says t h e vice president, " t h e r e is no g u a r a n t e e t h a t y o u r o f f s p r i n g will not inherit a// the c h a r a c t e r i s t i c s of the p e r s o n you c h o o s e .

P a t t o n strain, and n o w all t h e y want to d o is m a k e war instead of love."

THE VICE P R E S I D E N T studies a list. " W o u l d y o u c o n s i d e r a politician f o r a son?

We're having a sale on J o h n L i n d s a y . " " N o t on y o u r life," the h u s b a n d says. " A n y o n e w h o w a n t s his son to be m a y o r of New York has to be c r a z y .

" T h e vice p r e s i d e n t says, " W e ' v e been sold o u t of Onassis for 2 0 years. Why d o you t h i n k t h e r e ' s such a glut in oil t a n k e r s these d a y s ?

T h e vice president says, " Y o u people are going t o have to m a k e up y o u r m i n d s . " T h e wife says, "All right, give us a Ralph N a d e r . He m a y not get rich, but at least he'll a l w a y s tell us the t r u t h . "

Dr. Reuben gives \s —x' honest, amusing treatment Editor's Note: This week's a^c^or review is written by Critiques Editor Kay Hubbard. She reviews Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex (But Were Afraid to Ask) (Bantam Books, $1.95).

than willing t o laugh at o u r h u m a n follies and c o n f u s i o n s in the realm of sex. His dry comments, careful understatements and cheery f r a n k n e s s keep the book f r o m b e c o m i n g a n o t h e r dull a t t e m p t t o e n l i g h t e n the unenlightened.

by Kay Hubbard

THERE IS NOTHING that R e u b e n feels is sacred e n o u g h t o treat with kid gloves. He moves right t o the c r u x of t h e issue; and mincing no w o r d s , gives his i n f o r m e d o p i n i o n , or relays biological fact.

F v e n in this age of " n e w r o m a n t i c i s m " w h e n Eric Segal's Love Story (which d o e s not include a single b e d r o o m scene) tops t h e best seller list for m o n t h s , sex is still a m a j o r selling . point in A m e r i c a . Love Story is ( just part of t h e e n t i r e p i c t u r e .

THE OTHER BEST sellers include The Sensuous Woman which is so explicit that the author p r e f e r s t o be k n o w n . simply as " J . " and Dr. David | R e u b e n ' s p o p u l a r Everything You . Always Wanted to Know About Sex (Hut Were Afraid to Ask).

Yes, sex is here t o stay, and R e u b e n p r o p o s e s that we learn t o live with the realities of o u r sexual existences. '

T h e best th in g a b o u t Everything You Always Wanted lo Know About Sex is R e u b e n ' s sense of h u m o r . He is always m o r e

T h e book is filled with interesting little hits of k n o w l e d g e like: Coca-Cola is the best d o u c h e available; m a r i j u a n a is o n e of the most e f f e c t i v e a p h r o d i s i a c s k n o w n to m a n ( R e u b e n d o e s n o t , however, r e c o m m e n d its use); t h e average sex act c o n s u m e s 150 calories; and p r e g n a n c y is possible without penetration.

O n e of t h e q u e s t i o n s in Everything is, " W h e r e do p e o p l e in o t h e r societies learn a b o u t s e x ?

R e u b e n c o n d e m n s c u r r e n t att e m p t s at " s e x - e d u c a t i o n " because he feels t h a t , for the m o s t part, s t u d e n t s are not being dealt with h o n e s t l y .

c o u r s e title which c a r e f u l l y disguises the m a i n c o n c e r n of the c o u r s e , or at least the main c o n c e r n of t h e s t u d e n t s in the course.

REUBEN IS NOT THE last w o r d on sex. Certainly he would be the first to a d m i t that answers lead to m o r e q u e s t i o n s ; a n d , even if this b o o k t e m p o r a r i l y tells y o u e v e r y t h i n g y o u always w a n t e d t o k n o w a b o u t sex - t o m o r r o w is a n o t h e r day with m o r e q u e s t i o n s than ever. The book deals with frigidity, impotence, homos e x u a l i t y , p r o s t i t u t i o n and sexual p e r v e r s i o n , but it is not an e x h a u s t i v e s t u d y of a n y one of these areas. R e u b e n simply o p e n s a few d o o r s that s o m e p e o p l e w o u l d r a t h e r p r e t e n d did not exist.

In the i n t r o d u c t i o n to t h e b o o k R e u b e n says, " l i v e r y one of us has m a d e that seven-inch j o u r n e y t h r o u g h the penis i n t o t h e vagina to meet t h e o t h e r half of o u r f u t u r e p r o t o p l a s m , and has t h e n s e t t l e d in the u t e r u s for the 2 8 0 - d a y wait. T h e r e is no reason n o w to be a s h a m e d of how we traveled and w h e r e we grew there is n o m o r e suitable p l a c e . " He is c e r t a i n l y c o r r e c t . His b o o k , if not the u l t i m a t e s o l u t i o n to t h e p r o b l e m of ignorance in sexual m a t t e r s , is a s t e p in t h e right d i r e c t i o n . His h o n e s t y is refreshing.

overlooking

by Lee De Y o u n g Very few rock g r o u p s , or musical g r o u p s of any kind,- w o u l d possess the a u d a c i t y to n ame themselves a f t e r a c i t y , particularly the d o m a i n of Richard J. Daley. Chicago, alias C T A , has not only d o n e so, but has impressively challenged C r e e d e n c e C l e a r w a t e r Revival as the successor to the rock t h r o n e a b d i c a t e d by the Beatles.

LIKE THE BEATLES, Chicago's w o r k has gained e n t h u s i a s t i c acceptance among audiences both y o u n g and o l d , progressive and m i d d l e - o f - t h e - r o a d , and even the readership of Playboy magazine, who elected t h e m t o Playboy's 1971 Band of All-Stars.

Unlike t h e Beatles, C C R , or most o t h e r musical g r o u p s , Chicago has w i t h o u t e x c e p t i o n dedicated its music to t h e m o l d i n g of the social-political w o r l d , as well as the artistic realm. Chicago III c o n t i n u e s this p r a c t i c e : ( f r o m I Don't Want Your Money) 1 d o n ' t need y o u r social stand^ ing, 'Cause 1 got my p r i d e I don't want y o u r social standing I'd r a t h e r s t a n d o u t s i d e . ( f r o m Mother) Mama E a r t h is n o w h e r e G o n e from your eyes.

Oh n o . Love's no longer there Cold wind blew a w a y the sun T h a t used t o w a r m t h e air.

IN A D D I T I O N TO t h e political c o m m e n t a r y prevalent in the first t w o LP's, Chicago III gets i n t o the

i

areas of e c o l o g y and social criticism in general. T h e most eloq u e n t c o m m e n t a r y is highly unusual, c o n t a i n i n g no w o r d s at all, save an i n t r o d u c t o r y p o e m by K e n d r e w Lascelles of S m o t h e r s Brothers Fame.

T h e cut is e n t i t l e d Elegy, and begins with a brass c a n o n , followed by a h a u n t i n g l y delicate m e l o d i c passage, e x p e r t l y h a n d l e d

by Walter Parazaider on flute.

Midway through the cut the c h o r d s gradually b e c o m e diss o n a n t , with u r b a n s o u n d e f f e c t s mixed in with ever-increasing intensity, denoting m a n ' s "progress."

THE S O U N D S OF progress gradually c r e s c e n d o lo an unbearable din until the listener is m e r c i f u l l y relieved by t h e end of it all; a s o u n d easily r e c o g n i z a b l e to a n y o n e familiar with i n d o o r plumbing!

Chicago's trademark, clean, bold brass w o r k , is b e t t e r than ever in Chicago III. F a n s will n o t e , h o w e v e r , that the h o r n s do not o c c u p y nearly so m u c h of the musical spotlight here as in p r e v i o u s e f f o r t s . In their place are s o m e of the best heavy guitar riffs ever put u p o n plastic. Prime e x a m p l e s a p p e a r in Sing a Mean Tune Kid and Lowdown, which is p r o b a b l y the m o s t varied cut on the a l b u m .

ON FIRST H E A R I N G , the increased diversity of Chicago III might possibly d i s a p p o i n t some f a n s e x p e c t i n g a c o n t i n u a t i o n of a l b u m s o n e and t w o . But given a c h a n c e , o n e will q u i c k l y discover that t h e o t h e r things Chicago is into are every bit as g o o d as the g r o u p ' s m o r e familiar t r a d e m a r k s .

In fact, Elight 602 s o u n d s so m u c h like C r o s b y , Stills, Nash and Young that Atlantic Records might request a share of the p r o f i t s , which should be enormous!

Just another school

by Wayne Vander Byl Back in 1967 w h e n 1 was a f r e s h m a n , hardly a day w e n t by during which y o u d i d n ' t hear someone speaking about the " H o p e College C o m m u n i t y . " In those d a y s most of us, i n c l u d i n g most of t h e s t u d e n t s , t h o u g h t that there was s o m e t h i n g very special a b o u t the " H o p e E x p e r i e n c e . " WE WERE E V E N naive e n o u g h to think that H o p e College as a whole had s o m e goals, s o m e ideals, which u n i f i e d s t u d e n t s , facu l t y , a l u m n i , a d m i n i s t r a t i o n and the Board in a c o m m o n service t o G o d and m a n . H o p e was a Liberal- A r t s - C o l l e g e - i n - t he-ChristianT r a d i t i o n , and a l t h o u g h we were not q u i t e sure w h a t that m e a n t , we were sure we w e r e it.

T h i s past s e m e s t e r , however, I d o n ' t think 1 have seen or heard the t e r m " H o p e College C o m m u n i t y " half a d o z e n times. Suddenly I realized t h a t the " c o m m u n i t y " we used t o call H o p e College no longer exists.

WHAT MAKES A g r o u p of people a c o m m u n i t y and what leads to its d e c l i n e ?

C o m m u n i t i e s recognize comm o n s y m b o l s . F o r H o p e there were b o t h religious and a c a d e m i c symbols.

The religious s y m b o l s were m a n y : C h a p e l services, the C h a p lain, the Old and N e w T e s t a m e n t courses, t h e s e n i o r Bible requirem e n t , the S t u d e n t C h u r c h . U n f o r tunately the only two symbols shared by t h e e n t i r e c o m m u n i t y were shared by compulsion: C h a p e l services and the Old and New T e s t a m e n t r e q u i r e m e n t s .

WE REALIZED however, t h a t religious c o n s c i o u s n e s s could n o t be f o s t e r e d by c o m p u l s o r y p r o grams. If we were only free t o express o u r g e n u i n e religious c o n cerns! As it t u r n e d o u t , h o w e v e r , most of us had no religious c o n c e r n s - e x c e p t pride in o u r personal p i e t y .

T h e n there was the m y t h of t h e liberally e d u c a t e d m a n ; the m a n who k n e w a lot a b o u t one t h i n g plus a little a b o u t e v e r y t h i n g else, and w h o u n d e r s t o o d and res p e c t e d i nt el l ect ual curiosity in w h a t e v e r f o r m it a p p e a r e d . We were t o b e c o m e t h a t m a n , b u t there were no m o d e l s in either t h e f a c u l t y or a d m i n i s t r a t i o n . We f e l t a s u d d e n e m p t i n e s s in o u r lives.

The m a n we idolized, the man we were t o e m u l a t e , did not e x i s t , except in the tales we were t o l d .

SO WE ALSO began to question t h e w i s d o m of the core req u i r e m e n t s . If we could only be free t o p u r s u e g e n u i n e intellectual concerns!

T h e present p r o p o s a l to c h a n g e the core r e q u i r e m e n t s represent a step t o w a r d t h a t f r e e d o m . T h e a t m o s p h e r e in w h i c h it is being discussed, h o w e v e r , f o r b o d e s t h e tragedy that w o u l d s o o n follow its adoption.

T h e r e are f a c u l t y m e m b e r s w h o trust s t u d e n t s to m a k e the best decisions a b o u t their o w n e d u c a tion, and those w h o d o n ' t .

Karl Borsai; Hope's Austrian additive

by Lynn Jones A p r o d u c t of the i n t e r n a t i o n a l e d u c a t i o n with which he works, Karl Borsai, a native Austrian, is a vital link b e t w e e n H o p e College, Holland, Mich., and Vienna, Austria.

IN ADDITION TO w o r k i n g as an assistant t o Dr. Paul Fried, Director of I n t e r n a t i o n a l Lducation, Borsai is an i n s t r u c t o r in G e r m a n and assistant d i r e c t o r of the Hope College Vienna S u m m e r School p r o g r a m .

It is difficult to locate a h o m e t o w n for Borsai, f o r he, like the gypsies, has lived in m a n y localities. He refers to his hometown as B u r g e n l a n d , an Austrian state on the Hungarian border. He has, however, spent nine years in Vienna, m o r e time than in any other l o c a t i o n , t w o as a y o u n g boy and seven when he studied at the I n s t i t u t e of T e c h n o l o g y in Vienna.

BORSAI'S EDUCATION is totally i n t e r n a t i o n a l , fully qualifying him f o r his position with the Office of I n t e r n a t i o n a l F d u c a t i o n .

He a t t e n d e d high s c h o o l in Austria until he was 16, and then received a scholarship to study in the United Stales for a year. This he did in Minneapolis, Minn., graduating that same year f r o m the A m e r i c a n school.

When he r e t u r n e d to Austria, however, he was required to c o m p l e t e an a d d i t i o n a l year in order to g r a d u a t e in Austria in I 9 6 0 . At this time he moved to Vienna for his s t u d y at the technical institute.

WHILE IN VIENNA he met Fried w h o was on a sabbatical f r o m H o p e . T h r o u g h Fried, Borsai received a full tuition grant to Hope College. He also was awarded a Fulbright Travel G r a n t .

With his g y m n a s i u m e d u c a t i o n and his seven years of technical school, Borsai was granted enough credits t o g r a d u a t e f r o m Hope a f t e r o n e year, in the spring of 1968. He then was awarded a teaching assistantship in G e r m a n at the University of Kansas where he received his M.A. in 1970.

Borsai first met Fried when he was w o r k i n g his way through school in Vienna as a waiter in a student r e s t a u r a n t . T h r o u g h their daily c o n t a c t in the restaurant they b e c a m e good friends, Borsai r e c o m m e n d i n g interesting places to visit in the city and the b e t t e r things to eat. Q u i t e by accident, the two discovered that they were also n e x t - d o o r - n e i g h b o r s in the Studentenheim in Vienna.

Fried was in need at this time of an Austrian s t u d e n t to serve as a guide to the city and asked Borsai if he would be interested in a j o b with the Vienna S u m m e r School. T h e wages being significantly higher t h a n a n y o t h e r s o f f e r e d him, Borsai a c c e p t e d the position as t o u r guide on the

Western S t u d y T o u r and administrative assistant to Fried in the s u m m e r of 1962.

Borsai has been with the program every s u m m e r since, and has advanced f r o m t o u r guide, to i n s t r u c t o r of G e r m a n in 1963 when he taught one h o u r of G e r m a n c o n v e r s a t i o n . In 1968 he was a p p o i n t e d as the assistant d i r e c t o r for the 1969 program u n d e r the direction of Dr. F. F. G e a r h a r t , t e m p o r a r y d i r e c t o r of the p r o g r a m .

ASKED WHY HE HAS continued with Vienna Summer School for nine years, Borsai replied that the program was 4l a c o n s t a n t l y growing f o n d n e s s and I c o u l d n ' t shake i t . " In the past sessions, Borsai has c o m e in c o n t a c t with over 5 0 0 s t u d e n t s and feels that these m e a n i n g f u l relationships have made the whole effort worthwhile.

Borsai's reward for his work with the program seems to be the positive reactions of the Vienna a l u m n i and their a p p a r e n t g r o w t h through the program.

Borsai stated that very few of the s t u d e n t s w h o have participated in the program have been dissatisfied with it. T h o s e w h o were dissatisfied when they left F u r o p e , seem always to have a change of heart later when the small, insignificant dissatisfactions fade and the real, meaningful experiences emerge. ''OUR G E N E R A L e x p e r i e n c e with o u r s t u d e n t s have b e e n , " said Borsai, " t h a t a f t e r c o m i n g back, because of the e x p e r i e n c e s they have h a d , they have developed into m u c h more m a t u r e y o u n g men and w o m e n . O n e of our alumni told me o n c e that he had d e t e c t e d abilities and characteristics within himself that he had never k n o w n to be there b e f o r e . " T h e s u m m e r school program is set up to work with s t u d e n t s and to fulfill their needs. According to Borsai, the s t u d e n t of t o d a y does not have the same ideas of e x c i t e m e n t and reward a s t u d e n t did five years ago. By J a n u a r y , 1968, t h e directors had noticed a change in the s t u d e n t s through reading t h e applications f o r that s u m m e r . Their academic level is still the same, Borsai said, " b u t it's b e c o m i n g a little bit easier to travel to F u r o p e , and the s t u d e n t of t o d a y isn't as f o n d of having an a c a d e m i c session along with his travel."

WITH THIS IN MIND the program has changed. It has m o d i f i e d its goals and a p p r o a c h by a d d i n g more i n d e p e n d e n t and free time for the s t u d e n t to replace organized excursions and field trips.

A m a j o r change in the program is that the boat trip to F u r o p e has been replaced with a jet trip to L u x u m b o u r g due to the cancellation of the chartered ship.

I N T E R N A T I O N A L FLARE—Austrian Karl Borsai makes plans for this summer's Vienna Summer School program. Borsai, an instructor of German, is assistant director of the program.

Borsai felt that this was a severe d e t r i m e n t t o the p r o g r a m because it was during this long trip that the s t u d e n t s b e c a m e a c q u a i n t e d with each o t h e r and developed an esprit de corps which enabled them to live together and work together during t h e s o m e t i m e s hectic days of the travel and academic sessions.

TO FILL THIS GAP, a twoday stop-over in Iceland to see the sights and to allow the s t u d e n t s to get a c q u a i n t e d with each other is being a d d e d .

According to Borsai the goals of the VSS program involve the " m a g i c c o m b i n a t i o n of meeting local y o u t h and s t u d e n t s , finding time to explore and discover on o n e ' s own, and receiving knowledge f r o m i m p o r t a n t p e o p l e . " IT WOULD BE impossible to fulfill these goals if it were not for the personal c o n t a c t s m a d e by Fried and o t h e r m e m b e r s of the Vienna f a c u l t y , Borsai emphasized. Of nearly equal i m p o r t a n c e , he a d d e d , are the c o n t a c t s the program directors have taken up with f o r m e r faculty and alumni at Hope.

G. B o n n o Van Dijk, f o r m e r visiting professor of history, has

Plan

arranged for s t u d e n t s to stay in Dutch h o m e s f o r their stay in the N e t h e r l a n d s d u r i n g t h e Western S t u d y tour. In B o n n , the s t u d e n t s will meet the a m b a s s a d o r of Jordan to the Federal Republic of G e r m a n y , and Bruce Van V o o r s t , the t o p r e p o r t e r for Newsweek in central E u r o p e . In L y o n , F r a n c e , the VSS s t u d e n t s will be the guests of the consul of the United States, an a l u m n u s of the Vienna program.

T h e Western t o u r precedes the academic session which will begin July 5 and will c o n t i n u e through August 13. Borsai said that the

r f f r / r >J •f

ft u.

goal ol the a c a d e m i c session m Vienna is to take advantage of all the historical, cultural and artistic o p p o r t u n i t i e s that Vienna and its i m m e d i a t e area have to offer.

FOLLOWING THE academic session, s t u d e n t s are tree to c h o o s e b e t w e e n three travel opp o r t u n i t i e s . T h e y may travel ind e p e n d e n t l y and plan on returning on either the S e p t e m b e r 2 or 9 flight f r o m L u x u m b o u r g or they may participate in a more structured program such as the boat cruise d o w n the D a n u b e River on a Russian s t e a m b o a t . This trip will also include a flight to Kiev and a return flight to Vienna. T h r e e d a y s will remain f o r free travel b e f o r e d e p a r t u r e f r o m Luxumbourg.

Why does Borsai work with this particular program'. , " I t ' s u n i q u e because of its c o m b i n a t i o n of all the aspects and e v e n t s , " he replied, " a n d because of the type of life o f f e r e d by the way our program is put' t o g e t h e r . " He added that the fact that the Vienna S u m m e r S c h o o l program is one of the oldest existing s u m m e r school p r o g r a m s of American colleges proves t h e point that " w e must have d o n e s o m e t h i n g right."

BORSAI SEES international e d u c a t i o n as a f u n d a m e n t a l part of a " c o m p l e t e e d u c a t i o n . " For this t y p e of e d u c a t i o n , he believes that o n e has to have had exposures and e x p e r i e n c e s in o t h e r areas, geographical or academic, to o t h e r people, to a n o t h e r line of thinking, and to o t h e r traditions and c u s t o m s . He referred specifically to the traditions and c u s t o m s with which one is very familiar in o n e ' s own h o m e c o u n t r y . One must also get to k n o w o t h e r people other t h a n o n e ' s o w n friends.

"By being in a c o m p l e t e l y new e n v i r o n m e n t with c o m p l e t e l y different o u t l o o k s and c o m p l e t e l y d i f f e r e n t people with d i f f e r e n t objectives and p r e j u d i c e s , " Borsai stated, " o n e can grow to such a degree that it t a k e s m o n t h s , as our e x p e r i e n c e s with f o r m e r s u m m e r school s t u d e n t s have shown, to digest all and u n d e r s t a n d ail that one has been e x p o s e d to, experienced and l e a r n e d .
