ance, 0., and previously taught junior high science and English in the Elyria, 0 . public schools Harrington, a native of Holland, Mich, received h i s A.B. degree from Hope in 1958 and his Master of Fine Arts degree from the State University of Iowa in 1961.

Subtle Discrimination Practiced by Christians Whether racial prejudice, subtle or overt, exists on Hope's campus was the problem discussed Tuesday night at the second meeting of FOCUS (Focus On Communica-, lion and Understanding among Students». Alan Jones, steering committee head opened the meeting by raising the question among the nearly two dozen students present whether the situation at Hope involved actual prejudice or simply a condition of unfamiliarity and misunderstanding between the races. Hal Huggins, freshman, remarked that he thought any prejudice on campus was subtle, not pbvious. It was agreed that prejudice occurred most frequently in dating relationships or friendships involving both sexes, with various women students commenting that head residents had sometimes interfered in such relationships. Doug Smith, junior, said that "the public Negro image" is often a result of stereotyped, cold statistics regarding cerain underprivileged areas. "We tend to identify Negroes with slums," he remarked. Racial prejudice has been most
cutting, it was revealed, where African students were involved, causing Africans to hesitate to involve themselves in relationships "where we mght not 'be wanted," stated one student present. Parental taboos, social stigma and a fear of "the loss of cultural identity if the races should become mixed" were cited as reasons hindering racial social integration, and lack of understanding of different cultures was indicated as one of the stumbling-blocks to friendship among various foreign groups at Hope. "We demand that the different cultures represented here become just like us," commented one student. "We want them to laugh at our jokes, enjoy our particular kind of fun, and seek out our company; and if they don't, we call them clannish and ill-adjusted." " P e r h a p s , " remarked s e n i o r Dave Dunn, "the problem lies in the fabled Typical Hope College Mind; it's too typical! We're afraid to be different." Jones expressed enthusiasm for the group's future. The third meeting of FOCUS is scheduled for March 3 in the Kletz lounge.
