Enrollment Rises to 1 9 0 0 N e x t Fall

By L a u r a M u m f o r d anchor Reporter As a result ol the Profile Committee report r e c o m m e n d i n g a n i n c r e a s e of the full-time s t u d e n t e n r o l l m e n t to 2 , 6 0 0 - 2 . 7 0 0 , the number of students at H o p e College is expected to increase to 1,900 s t u d e n t s next fall. T o meet this f i g u r e , the Office of A d m i s s i o n s is h o p i n g to enroll a c l a s s of 600 f r e s h m e n .

U n l e s s there are m a n y m o r e s t u d e n t s t r a n s f e r r i n g out of instead of into H o p e at the c k ^ e of the y e a r , the 1 9 0 0 a n d 6 0 0 f i g u r e s w o u l d seem to be in conflict.

Full-time e n r o l l m e n t at m i d y e a r totalled 1 , 6 8 8 students, 2 7 0 of w h o m were s e n i o r s . If the p r o jected class of 6 0 0 were to be e n r o l l e d , it w o u l d seem to project total full-time e n r o l l m e n t to 2 , 0 1 8 - well over the 1,900 fulltime s t u d e n t p r o j e c t i o n .

T H E P R O F I L E C o m m i t t e e of the H o p e College B o a r d of T r u s tees h a s suggested t h a t the " g r a d u a l and controlled" growth of t h e e n r o l l m e n t s h o u l d beeffected b y a n a p p r o x i m a t e y e a r l y inc r e a s e of 5 per cent.

President C a l v i n A. VanderWerf stated, h o w e v e r , t h a t "since 1960, o u r r a t e of g r o w t h h a s been the slowest of the accredited f o u r - y e a r liberal a r t s colleges in M i c h i g a n . " T h e facilities t h a t would result f r o m the 1 0 - y e a r Master P l a n , h o w e v e r , w o u l d a l l o w for g r e a t e r expansion.

What, then, are the i m p l i c a t i o n s of this p l a n n e d increase of enrollm e n t ? J u s t w h a t c a n s t u d e n t s expect this f a l l ?

T H E G R E A T E S T c o n c e r n lies with the s t a n d a r d s of the college.

President V a n d e r W e r f asserted that the e n r o l l m e n t increase w o u l d not lower a d m i s s i o n s t a n d a r d s .

S i m i l a r l y , Roger Rietberg, Director of A d m i s s i o n s , noted t h a t the q u a l i t y of new s t u d e n t s w o u l d not d i m i n i s h a s a result of recruiting m o r e students. " T h e 6 0 0 figure is flexible," Rietberg a d d e d , " a n d the college will not t a k e u n q u a l i f i e d s t u d e n t s to r e a c h it."

At present, 600 s t u d e n t s h a v e been accepted. About 3 5 0 h a v e sent in a deposit. These f i g u r e s are c o m p a r a b l e to those of last y e a r , yet o n l y 514 f r e s h m e n enrolled last fall.

A L T H O U G H MORE a p p l i c a tions h a v e been received since J a n u a r y , student r e c r u i t m e n t is still a p r o b l e m . This y e a r there are not as many potential students. T h u s , the c o m p e t i t i o n is keen a m o n g colleges, Mr. Rietb e r g e x p l a i n e d . The n u m b e r of a p p l i c a t i o n s b y m e n is slightly u p o v e r past y e a r s , however.

The College h a s m a d e a " c o n s c i o u s d e c i s i o n " to o p e r a t e the s u m m e r p r o g r a m on a l a r g e r scale, a d d e d Mr. Rietberg. T h e trial p r o g r a m will now be a v a i l a b l e to t h i r t y or f o r t y students.

L a s t y e a r , twenty s t u d e n t s were e n r o l l e d in the p r o g r a m .

Despite the increase in enrollm e n t to 1 , 9 0 0 students. Dr. Wil-

Thai's the Question

To Rush or Not to Rush?

By Wayne Vander Byl anchor Reoorter The s p r i n g fraternity r u s h beg a n Monday evening. A large percentage of f r o s h men t u r n e d out for the r u s h events, but m a n y f r e s h m e n h a v e chosen to sit out this rush and p e r h a p s never r u s h at ail.

There does not seem to be a c o n s e n s u s r e g a r d i n g the useful ness or necessity of Hope's six social fraternities a m o n g these freshmen.

THOSE WHO DO not rush give v a r i e d r e a s o n s f o r their decision.

The most c o m m o n r e a s o n is that it is not necessary to b e l o n g to a f r a t e r n i t y to be socially fulfilled.

Others refuse to r u s h because they feel it is a n artificial w a y of meeting people. Some, of course, find fraternity dues too high.

One f r e s h m a n labeled t h e f r a t e r nities a n artificial " c a s t e s y s t e m , " in which each m a n is j u d g e d socially a c c o r d i n g to his f r a t e r n i t y .

Another f r e s h m a n c o m m e n t e d that in fraternities one is " f o r c e d into a s o c i a l a t m o s p h e r e " in which intellectual p u r s u i t s are stifled b y social activities.

One g r o u p o f f r e s h m e n h a s come u u with a new a n s w e r to the pro-

blem. A small g r o u p of f r o s h men is p l a n n i n g to live together next year in one of H o p e ' s cottages. These men are l o o k i n g for a p a r t i c u l a r intellectual atmosphere which they feel is missing in the fraternities. These men a r e a l r e a d y s e e k i n g p e r m i s s i o n for their plan.

OF T H O S E WHO are rushing, the m a j o r i t y feel that fraternities a r e necessary for the social life on a s m a l l c a m p u s like Hope's.

Most f r o w n o n the p h o n i n e s s of r u s h events, but a r e u n a b l e to suggest a new method for meeting the men in fraternities. One f r e s h m a n felt that " f r e s h m e n a r e isolated f r o m u p p e r c l a s s m e n u n t i l r u s h . " Even t h o u g h one meets " n a m e s rather t h a n p e o p l e , " r u s h is the best m e t h o d f o r getting to k n o w a n d f o r getting k n o w n .

Generally, the f r e s h m a n begins r u s h with one o r two fraternities in mind. Most of those interviewed, however, expressed a desire to visit all the fraternities, a n d refused to be b o u n d b y a n y previous c o m m i t m e n t s . M a n y expressed a w a r i n e s s a b o u t j u d g i n g a f r a t e r n i t y by r e p u t a t i o n or first i m p r e s s i o n . It seems that the most i m p o r t a n t thing in most f r e s h m a n m i n d s is c h o o s i n g a fraternity

where they think they will feel comfortable.

S E V E R A L f r e s h m e n h a v e res e r v a t i o n s a b o u t the a m o u n t of time i n v o l v e d in r u s h i n g and pledging. One f r e s h m a n suggested that a l o n g p l e d g i n g period is necessary for the unity of a fraternity. Another f r e s h m a n , however, protested the present system of pledging a n d called it " u s e l e s s . " He suggested that the fraternities h a v e their pledge classes d o something constructive for the fraternity o r college, r a t h e r t h a n useless pranks.

Generally, the f r e s h m e n felt that the present f r a t e r n i t y system is a d e q u a t e for Hope. Those who are not r u s h i n g said that they d o not feel a n y p r e s s u r e to rush.

Those w h o are r u s h i n g feel that H o p e ' s six social fraternities provide a choice which is wide e n o u g h for all the men o n c a m p u s .

Many Students Pay Part Of Cost at Registration About 30 per cent of H o p e ' s students do not p a y their bills in full f o r tuition, r o o m , a n d b o a r d when they g o t h r o u g h the regist r a t i o n line at the b e g i n n i n g of each semester, a c c o r d i n g to William A n d e r s o n , Director of Accounting.

These students a s k the College to bill either their p a r e n t s o r themselves.

Mr. A n d e r s o n noted that the bills a r e carefully checked before they a r e sent out, a n d t h a t students receiving financial aid a r e given credit when the bill is t a b u lated. This checking a n d c r e d i t i n g r e q u i r e s several weeks.

The College loses t h o u s a n d s of d o l l a r s each semester in potential investment e a r n i n g s due to the time spent in billing students a n d parents.

F o r this r e a s o n , the College h a s initiated the policy of r e q u i r i n g

students to p a y their bills in full at r e g i s t r a t i o n .

Over 5 0 0 students still a s k the College to send them a bill. This resulted d u r i n g the first semester in a b a c k - u p of bills to be tabulated a n d s e n t T h e m a c h i n e used to print the bills w a s not r e a d y in time for the post-registration deluge of w o r k , a n d a new acc o u n t i n g system e m p l o y e d b y the a c c o u n t i n g office slowed d o w n the process at the b e g i n n i n g of the year.

With the a c c o u n t i n g m a c h i n e now o p e r a t i n g 12 h o u r s a d a y , second semester bills will p r o b a bly be sent out b y the first week in March.

Science Building of Past Era

By Janice B a k k e r a n c h o r Reporter L o o m i n g between two m o d e r n l o o k i n g d o r m i t o r i e s , the science building resembles a m o n u m e n t to a b y g o n e e r a . T i n y windows, which admit n a r r o w r a y s of sunlight to the Little Theater and a n art r o o m o c c u p y i n g the fourth floor, are covered by m i n i a t u r e roofs, a n d a p p e a r to have sprouted f r o m the steeply-sloped roof.

Other concerns of the committee h a v e been the College's a d m i s s i o n policy and the reorganization of the B o a r d of Trustees.

d a t i o n that all are " w o r t h y of linancial s u p p o r t in g r a d u a t e school. " This m a r k s a c h a n g e in the Wils o n F o u n d a t i o n ' s p r o g r a m . In the la.si ten years, with f u n d s f r o m the F o r d F o u n d a t i o n a m o u n t i n g to $52 million, the W o o d r o w Wilson X.itional Fellowship F o u n d a t i o n was able to m a k e direct g r a n t s to a p p r o x i m a t e l y 1,()()() A m e r i c a n a n d C a n a d i a n students a n n u a l l y to s u p p o r t their first y e a r o f g r a d uate study.

By Ti m Liggett anchor Reporter At M o n d a y night's meeting of the Student Senate a letter was presented by Senator Dick K o o i r e v e a l i n g that the H o p e - H o l l a n d Hamlet f u n d s could not be used as o r i g i n a l l y intended.

T H E L E T T E R is f r o m H o p e ' s f u n d c o r r e s p o n d e n t in Vietnam, Roger C a r l i n g , w h o suggested that our m o n e y be taken out of the S a i g o n b r a n c h of the C h a s e M a n h a t t a n B a n k . His letter said, " T h e present e m e r g e n c y situation in Vietnam m a k e s it a d m i n i s t r a tively impossible for the H o p e College project to be carried out as o r i g i n a l l y conceived - namely, using USA ID personnel in L o n g K h a n h Province to a d m i n ister the p r o j e c t . " He suggested in the letter that the f u n d s be shifted to a n o r g a n i z a t i o n such a s C A R E , Save The Children F e d e r a t i o n , or the International Rescue Committee. " F o r s o m e time now i n d i v i d u a l s a n d o r g a n i z a t i o n s such a s y o u r s who want to help the people of V i e t n a m h a v e been urged by A l l ) to contact o n e of these V o l u n t a r y Agencies a s the a d m i n i s t r a t i v e outlet of their p r o j e c t , " he wrote.

He is sure the m o n e y could be put to g o o d use due to all the recent d a m a g e t h r o u g h o u t Vietnam.

In conclusion the letter reports, " I t is o u r u n d e r s t a n d i n g that the w i t h d r a w a l of y o u r f u n d s f r o m the Chase M a n h a t t a n Bank in S a i g o n offers no p r o b l e m a n d , in line with o u r Mission's recomm e n d a t i o n , AID also suggests that y o u w i t h d r a w the f u n d s and a p p l y them either t h r o u g h a V o l u n t a r y Agency listed in the attached b o o k let, or, as y o u otherwise decide."

In other business, A1 Pedersen, c h a i r m a n of the N a t i o n a l a n d Social Awareness Committee, presented a p l a n f o r c r e a t i n g political parties on c a m p u s . The plan .simply involves presenting a petition, including at least 2 5 names, to the Senate in order to be accepted a s a political p a r t y . The only other stipulation is that the p a r t y must r e m a i n open to a n y o n e interested in j o i n i n g . Pedersen said that the idea behind the p l a n was to enc o u r a g e greater p a r t i c i p a t i o n in the elections.

PETER SMITH c o m m e n t e d that the p l a n , a s presented, w a s left too v a g u e and s h o u l d include the idea that each p a r t y s h o u l d have a platform for which it stands. Senator Glenn Pontier suggested that it be sent back to the committee with this recommendation in mind. The Senate a g r e e d , a n d the committee will discuss the question a g a i n .

Dean Robert IX' Y o u n g w a s present at the meeting and g a v e his views on the p r o b l e m involving the s u s p e n s i o n f r o m school of those students w h o were not keeping their agreement to attend Chapel Ihe addition.d times needed before March 1 to m a k e u p their first semester cuts.

The faculty is s u p p o s ed to meet this m o n t h , and m a y vote on the matter.

Senator Smith s a i d t h a t t h e E d u c a t i o n a l Policies Committee is l o o k i n g into ex tending the time for dropping a class f r o m 6 to 9 weeks. Bruce White, representing the Dining Hall Committee, reported that they are discussing the possibility of a relaxed w o m e n ' s dress policy at all meals except S u n d a y noon.

PONTIER ALSO asked t h a t t h e Senate request that Bibles be placed in the C h a p e l , not only for Chapel services, but also for the Student Church or for i n d i v i d u a l meditation. D o n a t i o n s f o r the Bibles could p r o b a b l y come f r o m v a r i o u s churches, he said. T h e Senate passed his resolution.

A p r o p o s a l b y K o o i , a Joint Statement on Rights and Free' d o m s of Students, w a s voted d o w n by the Senate. M a n y S e n a t o r s felt that what w a s i m p o r t a n t in the d o c u m e n t w a s unwritten, but accepted by the A d m i n i s t r a t i o n a n d faculty of this college, and therefore didn't need to be stated by the Senate. K o o i a r g u e d that this w a s necessary for the protection of the students a g a i n s t so m a n y c h a n g e s in the a d m i n i s t r a t i o n , but he could not convince e n o u g h senators.

Readers Speak Out

Dear Editor.

Why d o we insist o n p l a y i n g g a m e s with each other o n this c a m p u s ? I'm not t a l k i n g a b o u t those g o o d , healthy i n t r a m u r a l basketball g a m e s — a few g u y s racked u n d e r the b o a r d s butstill such w h o l e s o m e f u n a n d satisfying. Of course, such competition in s p o r t s m a y create a few h a r d feelings, a n d the referees might m a k e s o m e calls that one team m a y not like, a n d with which the other w h o l e h e a r t e d l y agrees. Generally, the calls seem to b a l a n c e , t h o u g h , in the end, a n d things are s m o o t h e d out until the next encounter.

B U T O N E TEAM or the other a l w a y s h a s to win, a n d when one of them wins all the g a m e s , it's easier for the loser to m a k e excuses, to b l a m e the ref, to want revenge r a t h e r t h a n to concentrate o n i m p r o v i n g their i n d i v i d u a l weaknesses. And the complacency of the w i n n i n g team might m a k e them tend to overlook the lucky b r e a k s they got a l o n g the w a y , and to feel a little s u p e r i o r in what they h a v e a c c o m p l i s h e d a s a t e a m . Win o r lose, they all c a r r y terrific pride in being m e m b e r s of t e a m s a n d of w e a r i n g team colors.

The White Asps a n d the Black B o y s are p l a y i n g such a g a m e , it seems, with Hope's c a m p u s the p l a y i n g a r e a a n d Dimnent Chapel the site for a n extended pep rally with lots of bonfires being set and people s i n g i n g a n d e m o t i o n a l heat w a r m ing the benches. The visiting team doesn't seem to h a v e as m u c h s u p p o r t f r o m their own n u m b e r s , but those here f o r the g a m e a r e m a k i n g u p f o r it with their t r e m e n d o u s spirit. The h o m e t e a m ' s b a c k e r s are by f a r more n u m e r o u s , but pretty cocky, to the point of being c o m p l a c e n t a n d even apathetic. After w i n n i n g f o r so m a n y seasons, it's e a s y to u n d e r s t a n d , but h a r d for the other t e a m to take. The j u d g e s are, on the whole, pretty b i a s e d in their decisionm a k i n g , p r o b a b l y because they s u p p o r t one team or the other.

I D O N ' T L I K E this g a m e that we're all p l a y i n g . I c a n t even be a spectator.

I'm d r a w n into it because I'm i n v o l u n t a r i l y o n the white " s i d e " , a n d therefore I a m not s u p p o s e d to associate with those f r o m the b l a c k t e a m , n o r a m I allowed to, by them.

fact when I s t u m b l e d into the C h a p e l one time e a r l y this week a n d found myself in the middle of a pep rally.

I'd like to stop p l a y i n g , and there are lots of others that I've a l s o talked to who'd like to. The trouble is, the team h a s so m a n y m e m b e r s that a few l e a v i n g won't m a k e m u c h difference. To stop the g a m e would require t a k i n g o u t one whole team, at least. I like to watch basketball games,' to back the H o p e t e a m , a n d to once in a while remember that blue a n d o r a n g e a r e that team s colors. But I d o n ' t like, I hate, playing in this g a m e between the A's a n d B's.

I don't like being forced, by the b l a c k team a s well a s the white, to accept a position on the latter.

WHY CANTT WE see that we're not teams but i n d i v i d u a l s ? T h a t "We're not in competition to win a g a m e but in life to need a n d to s h a r e each other's i n d i v i d u a l ity? That o u r o n l y refs are ourselves and that we each b e a r the responsibility f o r self-examination a n d f o r j u d g m e n t and u n d e r s t a n d i n g of each other a n d of o u r relationship a s people? This, so that Eddie isn't k n o w n to me simply as h a v i n g the q u a l i t y ot b e i n g a g o o d singer, o r a talented director, or a Negro. So that I'm not described by him as a tennis p l a y e r / or a S p a n i s h m a j o r , or a white, but that each is a s u m total w h o can o n l y be expressed as Eddie, or Rosie. U n d e r s t a n d ing other people like that is h a r d e n o u g h to do. But I d r a t h e r see e v e r y o n e working on that t h a n practicing daily the moves it takes to s t a y o n the team.

I want to quit the g a m e .

If We Were Fishing, E v e r y o n e is second-guessing what we s h o u l d h a v e d o n e o r not d o n e a b o u t the h i j a c k i n g of the USS Pueblo, which, dep e n d i n g on w h o m y o u believe, h a d been either o n the h i g h seas, o r in the territorial waters of N o r t h K o r e a .

WHAT E V E R Y O N E does agree o n is that the Pueblo was a n electronic s n o o p e r , s p y i n g o n N o r t h K o r e a , a n d that the oper a t i o n was pretty botched up.

I h a d no idea what we could have d o n e differently until I b u m p e d into m y old friend, Dmitri, a Soviet E m b a s s y e m p l o y e , w h o m I'm quite sure is a spy.

Strangely e n o u g h , Dmitri seemed v e r y upset a b o u t the Pueblo's c a p t u r e .

Is m a k i n g it h a r d o n all spy s h i p s , " Dmitri said. " B e c a u s e of Pueblo, now all spy s h i p s are looked o n with s u s p i c i o n . " But what could we h a v e d o n e differently? 9 ' I asked D m i t r i IS NOT MY place to help A m e r i c a n s in espionage, but y o u went a b o u t s p y i n g on N o r t h K o r e a all w r o n g . " " W h a t would you h a v e d o n e ? " "Fish." " W h a t d o you m e a n , ' f i s h ' ? " I said a n grily. " I s well-known fact t h a t all Soviet s p y ships are fishing trawlers. They are m a n led b y civUians dressed a s f i s h e r m a n .

E v e r y time they g o somewhere, three civilians throw their f i s h i n g lines over side of trawler and fish. Then, if b o a t drifts into territorial waters, e v e r y o n e is arrested f o r illegal f i s h i n g . " " T H A T DID H A P P E N in A l a s k a , " I admitted. " I s h a p p e n i n g all the time," Dmitri said. " S u p p o s e instead of U.S. N a v y ship, the United States sent in fishing trawler.

Susan Sontag Brings Self into'Death Kit' Editor's Note: The a n c h o r review this week is written b y j u n i o r English m a j o r Bruce Ronda. He reviews "Death Kit" by S u s a n Sontag ( F a r a r , Straus, and Giroux; $5.75).

B y Bruce Ronda a n c h o r Critiques Editor S u s a n S o n t a g is p r o b a b l y most revered w h e r e v e r A u b r e y B e a r d sley p r i n t s a r e in v o g u e , a n d most f a m o u s f o r her " N o t e s o n C a m p , " which a m o n g other i m p o r t a n t triv i a , helped to resurrect t h a t " f i n de siecle" artist. Miss S o n t a g is also a s o c i a l critic, best k n o w n perh a p s f o r her articles in " P a r t i s a n Review." F i n a l l y , not to be outd o n e by those she criticizes. Miss S o n t a g is a novelist; " D e a t h K i t , " her most recent effort, p r o v i d e s the reviewer a n d the r e a d e r with the task of d e t e r m i n i n g whether o r not the title of " n o v e l i s t " b e l o n g s to her. What this m e a n s , 1 pres u m e , is whether or not one should t a k e S u s a n S o n t a g seriously. Ultim a t e l y , she must be dealt with s e r i o u s l y , a l t h o u g h the evidence that " D e a t h K i t " is a put-on is f a r f r o m negligible.

T H E S T O R Y IS close to a detective plot, a n d i m m e d i a t e l y the s u s p i c i o n is raised that indeed a put-on is intented. N o such luck, however; the plot, except f o r the s u r r e a l i s t i c e n d i n g , is m u n d a n e .

T h i r t y - t h r e e y e a r old D a l t o n Herron, w h o is most often referred to a s Diddy ( a n d u s u a l l y with mockheroic epithets, such a s Diddy the Good, D i d d y the S y m p a t h e t i c ) is the b o o k ' s " h e r o . " D i d d y h o l d s a c o r p o r a t i o n p o s i t i o n he despises, p a y s a l i m o n y , w o r s h i p s his famo u s b r o t h e r , a n d g e n e r a l l y exhibits the a n g s t a n d m e a n i n g l e s s n e s s which is " s i n e q u a n o n " for a

c o n t e m p o r a r y novel. D i d d y takes a business trip, a n d d u r i n g the t r a i n ' s e m e r g e n c y stop in a tunnel, l e a v e s the t r a i n a n d ( p e r h a p s ) murders a trackworker.

The " p e r h a p s " is necessary; upon his r e t u r n Diddy h a s interc o u r s e with a blind girl. She evidently h a s r e m a r k a b l e h e a r i n g , for she tells h i m she d i d not h e a r him leave the train. T h e r e m a i n der of the b o o k deals with D i d d y ' s g r o w i n g affection for the blind girl, Hester, a n d with his f r a n t i c s e a r c h to establish the reality of his act in the tunnel. T h e novel e n d s with D i d d y a n d Hester's ret u r n to the tunnel, his ( p e r h a p s ) r e - m u r d e r of the s a m e t r a c k m a n , a n d D i d d y ' s e n t r a n c e into the Hall of the Dead.

MISS S O N T A G d e v e l o p s two m a j o r themes, a n d hints at a n u m ber of m i n o r ones. This latter is p r o b a b l y w h a t is most irritating a b o u t the b'ook. F o r e x a m p l e , when Diddy is 33, he sets out on a quest f o r s o m e t h i n g to become attached to, a n d f i n d s death. . .

It s not e a s y to miss a d e m y t h o logized Christ here, but finally, so w h a t ? Much better developed is the theme of p e r s o n a l guilt a n d p e r s o n a l responsibility. Put in the simplest m o r a l terms. Miss Sonl a g is s u g g e s t i n g that even in a world glutted with g e n o c i d e and indifference, the a c t i o n s of the ind i v i d u a l must retain s o m e m o r a l d i m e n s i o n . One of the b o o k ' s most effective scenes is set in a television s t u d i o , w h e r e Diddy o b s e r v e s the t a p i n g of a news p r o g r a m . " R e m i n d e d of the b e h a v i o r ot his own c o u n t r y , c u r r e n t l y e n g a g ed in the c u m b e r s o m e , d r a w n - o u t m u r d e r of a small, defenseless n a t i o n - this being o n l y the latest of the c e n t u r y ' s roll call of historical atrocities, of crimes that

Nevertheless, Diddy continues the quest for s o m e evidence of his action, l e a d i n g him eventually to his own d e a t h .

MISS SONTAG ALSOdevelops the t h e m e of perception a n d comp r e h e n s i o n . It is a sightless girl w h o first m a k e Diddy d o u b t his o w n senses, a n d it is this s a m e girl w h o r o u s e s him out of his stupor and toward a confrontation with the events that co n clu d e the b o o k . m a n article entitled " H a p p e n ings: a n art of r a d i c a l j u x t a p o s i t i o n , " Miss S o n t a g suggests that d r e a m s a n d h a p p e n i n g s arc simi-

lar in their lack of time-sense.

This characteristic of d r e a m s is certainly a p p a r e n t in " D e a t h K i t ; " indeed the d r e a m is the m a j o r technique used in the novel.

T h r o u g h o u t the b o o k , there a r e n u m e r o u s references to D i d d y ' s h o s p i t a l i z a t i o n ; the b o o k e n d s with his death in a hospital, a n d I got the s t r o n g i m p r e s s i o n th at the entire s t o r y is the fleeting d r e a m of a d y i n g m a n . The technique of n a r r a t i n g d r e a m s g i v e s the a u t h o r the o p p o r t u n i t y to int r u d e into the novel wherever she pleased, since p r e s u m a b l y not even the p r o t a g o n i s t c a n give a n accurate account of his o w n dreams.

T H E A U T H O R , intrusive in eighteenth-century fiction, slowly w i t h d r a w s f r o m the scene, until Dorothy Richardson, Virginia Woolf, a n d J a m e s J o y c e present us o n l y with the c o n s c i o u s a n d unconscious character.

Dear General Hershey: 1 a m t a k i n g this o p p o r t u n i t y to tell you h o w v e r y much I a d m i r e y o u r recent policy c h a n g e . By m o v i n g to eliminate all inequalities in the d r a f t system, y o u h a v e placed yourself firmly in the h e a r t s of all true Constitution-loving A m e r i c a n s . You must be a true descendent of Jefferson.

T H E E L I M I N A T I O N of all d r a f t deferments for such people a s g r a d u a t e students c a n o n l y lead to a h a p p i e r , m o r e b a l a n c e d A r m y . In a few m o n t h s , we will be able to s h o w the rest of the world that the United States is truly a n e q u a l i t a r i a n n a t i o n . Just think of the p r o p a g a n d a o p p o r tunities in h a v i n g a college g r a d uate a n d a public s c h o o l d r o p out c o w e r i n g in the s a m e foxhole.

Your a c t i o n w a s a s t r o k e of genius.

A n o t h e r a d v a n t a g e of y o u r system will b e the o p p o r t u n i t y afforded to f o r e i g n students to c o m e to A m e r i c a to complete their education. What a m a r v e l o u s c h a n c e for these people to i m p r o v e themselves. This will also help to eliminate inequality a m o n g n a t i o n s .

These people will r e t u r n to their c o u n t r i e s with the benefits of a n A m e r i c a n e d u c a t i o n . With most of

o u r students s e r v i n g t h e i r c o u n t r y in the A r m e d Forces ( a n d hopefully a c q u i r i n g a useful t r a d e ) , s o m e countries m a y pull themselves up to the intellectual position of the United States.

IF I WERE you, I w o u l d n ' t be too c o n c e r n e d a b o u t the complaints f r o m the h e a d s of certain g r a d u a t e schools. I've a l w a y s h a d m y d o u b t s a b o u t those h u m a n i ties people myself. This g r i p i n g a b o u t p a y i n g off f o r e i g n aid in b l o o d is a little unrealistic. Certainly no o n e w a n t s the g o v e r n ment to d o it a n y other w a y .

T a x e s are out of sight as it is.

I'm p r o u d that there is n o b o d y like Wilbur Mills in the Selective Service System. F o r y o u people, the welfare of the c o u n t r y is m o r e i m p o r t a n t t h a n p e r s o n a l power!

I also believe in m y heart that no one could possibly s a y that medical students are getting a n y special treatment. Sure, they a r e deferred until they get their degree, but I'm positive t h a t you won't let them just sit a r o u n d after they g r a d u a t e . It is a pity that s o m e of them w o n ' t b e able to c o m e b a c k a n d utilize their t r a i n i n g , but I'm s u r e we c a n a l w a y s get a few doc-

t o r s and dentists to c o m e over f r o m E n g l a n d to fill in the g a p s .

F O R ME, the most i m p o r t a n t aspect of y o u r new p l a n is the fact th at it will rid o u r c o u n t r y of the dirty, left-wing activists th at blight the c a m p u s e s of o u r colleges a n d universities. It m a k e s m e m a d to k n o w that I'm p a y i n g t a x e s to help educate such unA m e r i c a n scum. I, f o r o n e , wouldn't want them to get a degree a n d end u p t e a c h i n g my kids their c o w a r d l y , pacifistic t r a s h . Why, s o m e of their " d e m o n s t r a t i o n s " are really o r g a n i z e d to cover u p a pursuit of bestial, c a r n a l , a n d p e r v e r s e pleasures. 1 believe that if s o m e b o d y w a n t s his child to act like a queen, he s h o u l d b u y the kid a dress a n d not waste m y m o n e y s e n d i n g him to college.

Once a g a i n , 1 would like to express m y a d m i r a t i o n of y o u r policies a n d y o u r p a t r i o t i s m . 1 certainly h o p e you will never c h a n g e y o u r attitude. It is people like y o u w h o will m a k e other n a t i o n s sit up a n d t a k e notice of o u r high ideals a n d u n d y i n g dedication to a cause. With y o u a n d God on o u r side, h o w c a n we lose?

Dear Editor:

Seven Students Reinstated ( C o n t i n u e d f r o m p a g e 1)

presented a s i m i l a r excuse to the Chapel B o a r d o n g r o u n d s of health. His excuse was a l s o acceptable, and he w a s allowed to r e m a i n in school.

"We expect n o t h i n g less t h a n f o u r times a week f r o m y o u , " said student committee m e m b e r Tim D y k s t r a , " a n d we expect y o u to notify us of a n y r e a s o n you miss a d a y . " K A H N E AGREED to g o a l o n g with this, but noted that he a n d m a n y other students would be unable to make u p ail his cuts b y the M a r c h 1 deadline set by the o r i g i n a l extension. " If you show g o o d faith, there's n o t h i n g to prevent us f r o m g i v i n g

at the health clinic had been contacted by the B o a r d and corrob a r a t e d this, noting that K o o i h a d been to the clinic five times between J a n . 11 and 15.

Dr. Elton Bruins, c h a i r m a n of the Chapel B o a r d , told K o o i that his medical excuse would be acceptable, but that "We expect you to be there four times each week, o r else d o c u m e n t why y o u are n o t " The Chapel B o a r d g a v e K o o i w h a t Dr. David M a r k e r referred to a s " s u s p e n d e d sentence."

I N T E R V I E W I N G the student, the Chapel B o a r d discovered that his m a j o r p r o b l e m w a s " a m a t t e r of self-discipline." A d v i s i n g him of the seriousness of the situation, the B o a r d decided to give him " a third c h a n c e , " telling him that he must attend f o u r times each week until all his cuts are m a d e up.

C h a i r m a n Bruins said, " I d o n ' t think there s h o u l d be a n y m o r e c h a n c e s . " T h e rest of the B o a r d echoed his sentiments.

Alter the students were dismissed, the Chapel B o a r d g a v e its attention to its o w n legal status in the c a m p u s c o m m ittee structure.

Dr. Ronald Beery noted that " t h e r e wasn't e n o u g h on p a p e r " to e x p l a i n h o w the C h a p e l B o a r d w a s a p p o i n t e d or to w h o m it w a s responsible.

I N ADDITION to the q u e s t i o n of faculty size, h o u s i n g facilities f o r m o r e students must also be c o n s i d e r e d . According to Robert De Y o u n g , Dean of Students, the increased enrollment will not create a real p r o b l e m . " N o d o u b t , we still will be a b l e to h a v e all students o n c a m p u s next y e a r , " he said.

F o r men especially, there will be no problem. T h e r e are v a c a n cies in both Kollen Hall a n d the f r a t e r n i t y houses; and Z w e m e r Hall could also be rented if necess a r y , the Dean pointed out.

Normal Load Is Three Courses

Central Drops Semesters; Adopts ''Three-by-Three'

By Tom Hildebrandt anchor Editorial Assistant Central College, Hope's sister Reformed Church college in Pella, fa., will a o a n d o n the semester system next year in f a v o r of a "three-by-three" system, according to James Graham, Dean of the College at Central.

In this new academic calendar there will be three terms during the nine months previously taken up by two semesters, according 10 Dean Graham. A fourth term will be held during the summer months.

D U R I N G EACH TERM the n o r m a l study l o a d will be three courses. Hence the term "threeb y - t h r e e . " As in the semester system, however, a student m a y t a k e m o r e t h a n the a v e r a g e c o u r s e l o a d , possibly as m a n y a s f o u r courses. He also might wish to take fewer t h a n n o r m a l , said Dean G r a h a m , and this would be permissable.

The concept of credit-hours will no l o n g e r a p p l y , a c c o r d i n g to the Dean. Central students will count simply the n u m b e r of courses take n Although most c o u r s e s will c o u n t as one unit, some, such as m u s i c lessons, will count as a f r a c t i o n of a course. Thirty-six c o u r s e s will be required for g r a d uation.

"Although no c h a n g e s in requirements or c u r r i c u l u m are being m a d e at this time," s a i d Dean G r a h a m , " a n u m b e r of such

changes were made a year a g o in anticipation of the switch to the "three-by-three" system."

A T T H A T TIME, the n u m b e r of required h o u r s w a s reduced f r o m 50 or 60 to 20. In a d d i t i o n to these prescribed courses, a student a n d his faculty a d v i s o r w o r k out a p a c k a g e k n o w n a s an " i n d i v i d u alized c o r e " in which a student " c h o o s e s to t a k e w h a t he a n d his a d v i s o r feel is best for h i m , " said the Dean.

E v e n with these c h a n g e s , t^e c o n c e n t r a t i o n a r e a , o r m a j o r plus related fields, r e t a i n s its size in prop o r t i o n to the student's other w o r k , he said.

Mr. G r a h a m e n u m e r a t e d four a d v a n t a g e s of the new system, which he s a i d applied b a s i c a l l y to C e n t r a l ' s p r o g r a m s alone. The first is that placement of v a c a t i o n s will be better. C h r i s t m a s v a c a t i o n will come between the fall and winter terms, a n d Easter v a c a t i o n will fall between the winter and s p r i n g terms. Neither will be interrupted by recesses. " T h i s is the f e a t u r e most a p p r e c i a t e d by the s t u d e n t s , " he said.

T H E S E C O N D I S t h a t it permits the p l a n n i n g of o f f - c a m p u s prog r a m s . "Since Pel la is a small town with relatively few schools, s o m e of our s e n i o r s must travel as m u c h as 5 0 miles to d o their student t e a c h i n g , and therefore c a n take other c o u r s e s o n l y with g r e a t difficulty. It would be better if they did not h a v e to take other c o u r s e s at all. U n d e r the new sys-

schedule, however, will put the student at a d i s a d v a n t a g e in obtaining s u m m e r j o b s when c o m p a r e d to students s t u d y i n g o n a semester system.

Another Central p r o g r a m that will oenefit is a s t u d y session in Y u c a t a n , Mexico. " P r e v i o u s ly this w a s only a two-week prog r a m . It c a n now be a ten or eleven-week p r o g r a m , " said Dean Graham.

The "three-by-three" system c a m e out of a m a j o r college selfstudy b y a p p r o x i m a t e l y oneq u a r t e r of the faculty and 7 0 students w h o "just sat a r o u n d and dreamed about c h a n g e s that s h o u l d take place at the college."

This g r o u p concerned itself with end p r o d u c t s onlv.

A third a d v a n t a g e is that it allows f o r m o r e effective sequencing of courses. " W h a t we would like to d o , " said Mr. G r a h a m , " i s h a v e the f r e s h m a n year a s a year in which the student explores for a m a j o r . Now a freshm a n begins with required c o u r s e s a n d is f r a n k l y b o r e d stiff.

Mr. G r a h a m also noted s o m e d i s a d v a n t a g e s . The first is t h a t r e g i s t r a t i o n must t a k e place a n d accounts must be c o m p u t e d three times per y e a r instead of twice.

The p r o f e s s o r s , Mr. G r a h a m reported, a l s o feared that students, a l t h o u g h they will h a v e as m u c h time to study each subject a s they did before will not be able to synthesize ideas in the shorter time period.

ANOTHER OBJECTION is that the s p r i n g term would end ten d a y s later t h a n before. This would be c o m p e n s a t e d by s t a r t i n g the fall semester ten d a y s later. The new
