THE AdAB IS in t h e p r o c e s s of evaluating t h e g o v e r n a n c e system a f t e r its first t h r e e years in o p e r a tion.

Associate P r o f e s s o r of Religion L a m b e r t P o n s t e i n o p e n e d discussion with t h e suggestion t h a t the A c a d e m i c A f f a i r s Board be abolished.

"WE'VE MOVED r a p i d l y in t h e last f e w y e a r s so t h a t n o w we have m o r e t h a n 6 0 0 c o u r s e s , " he said. 4 i ' m w o n d e r i n g w h e t h e r we s h o u l d c o n t i n u e having t h e AAB and t h e c u r r i c u l u m c o m m i t t e e .

My guess is t h a t w e ' d have t h e s a m e n u m b e r of n e w c o u r s e s if t h e d e p a r t m e n t s had had free reign t o a d o p t t h e c o u r s e s t h e y wanted.

C H A N C E L L O R William Vanderlugt w e l c o m e d t h e suggestion.

The A A B n o w h a n d l e s all t h e really i m p o r t a n t m a t t e r s so t h a t " T h e r e ' s n o interest in f a c u l t y m e e t i n g s a n y m o r e , " he said. " I t h i n k things of c o n c e r n to the f a c u l t y s h o u l d receive their final disposition at faculty m e e t i n g s , " he a d d e d .

OPPOSITION to Ponstein's suggestion was e x p r e s s e d by Professor of English J o h n Hollenb a c h . "We c a n ' t have a w h o l e c o m m u n i t y discussion on every i t e m , " he said.

He also d o u b t e d t h e feasibility of t h e p r o c e d u r e P o n s t e i n suggested for dealing with course a d d i t i o n s : " I ' d h a t e t o be o n t h e c o m m i t t e e deciding the n u m b e r of h o u r s a l l o t e d t o e a c h d e p a r t ment."

PONSTEIN c o u n t e r e d by saying t h a t s u c h a p r o c e d u r e w o u l d p r o b a b l y b e an i m p r o v e m e n t because m e m b e r s of t h e AAB n o w have a t e n d e n c y t o d o reciprocal

A H o p e g r a d u a t e and f o r m e r H o p e s t u d e n t figured largely in a recent Washington Post article o n U.S. A r m y overseas intelligence activities. T h e article, in t h e nat u r e of an e x p o s e , a p p e a r e d in last S u n d a y ' s Post.

FORMER ARMY intelligence agents R o b e r t Donia and Keith T a y l o r , t w o of eight agent s interviewed, decried t h e a r m y ' s s p y i n g o p e r a t i o n s , q u e s t i o n i n g the m o r ality and even t h e necessity of such activities.

"SOME OF the p r o g r a m s of a r m y intelligence are morally o u t r a g e o u s , " he told t h e Post.

SUCH MISSIONS seem t o have little military value, h e said.

Double grading standard for blacks disclosed

by Ryan Mathews Black s t u d e n t s at H o p e are t h e victims of a d o u b l e s t a n d a r d grading policy, a c c o r d i n g t o recent interviews with f a c u l t y and stud e n t s c o n d u c t e d by t h e anchor.

It is necessary t o insure that the first g e n e r a t i o n succeed in obtaining the requisite social s t a t u s , he said. He also p o i n t e d out t h a t t h e r e is a d i f f e r e n c e , not

necessarily related t o race, bet w e e n s t u d e n t s f r o m u r b a n and rural areas.

"WHAT I AM d o i n g is e f f e c t i v e for me in t e r m s of what 1 believe," he c o n c l u d e d w h e n asked w h e t h e r he felt t h a t t h e college's present s t a n c e on a c a d e m i c policies regarding m i n o r i t i e s is e f f e c tive.

Douglas H e e r e m a , associate p r o f e s s o r of e c o n o m i c s , said he does not d i s c r i m i n a t e in grading.

Asked if he felt t h a t Ho p e provides the p r o p e r a c a d e m i c env i r o n m e n t for m i n o r i t y s t u d e n t s , H e e r e m a said, " N o , I d o n ' t t h i n k the college has the resources available t o deal with m i n o r i t y students."

Minority motivation is concern at E. E. Fell Junior High School

by Gary Gray

Thirteen hundred students f r o m grades seven t o nine a t t e n d H o l l a n d ' s o n l y j u n i o r high school.

O n e h u n d r e d thirty-eight of t h e m have Spanish s u r n a m e s .

Fell J u n i o r High S c h o o l half years in H o l l a n d ' s Day Care has escaped the racial tensions C e n t e r , says p r o b l e m s of language, which have plagued m a n y Amerisocial b a c k g r o u n d and financial can schools with fighting, forced i n s u f f i c i e n c y at h o m e o f t e n pres h u t - d o w n s and mistrust b e t w e e n Recognizing the special needs vent t h e C h i c a n o s t u d e n t f r o m parents and a d m i n i s t r a t o r s . of children f r o m Latin American realizing his full potential. In fact, But C h i c a n o children a t t e n d i n g backgrounds who have mihe said, Latin parents o f t e n are the school have s o m e special grated to t h e Holland area, the instrumental in impeding the needs which have not yet been city has hired Zepeda to act as a child's progress. met, a c c o r d i n g to h o m e - s c h o o l Many Latins w h o c o m e to liaison b e t w e e n t h e p a r e n t s of the liaison F r a n k Z e p e d a .

C h i c a n o children and teachers.

Holland find places in industry as non-skilled or semi-skilled Newly-hired home-school liaison Frank Zepeda seeks to meet individual laborers, said Z e p e d a . They have needs of minority students at Holland schools. learned m u c h of their English in t h e factories and have f o u n d s o m e e c o n o m i c security in that e m p l o y m e n t , he a d d e d .

This, he said, makes the need f o r f o r m a l e d u c a t i o n of their children seem less than essential. " M a n y C h i c a n o s t u d e n t s , especially t h e girls, d r o p out as soon as t h e y are no longer required by law t o a t t e n d s c h o o l , " Zepeda said.

When lack of h o m e stimulus, s h o r t a g e of m o n e y for proper c l o t h i n g and eyeglasses, and language barriers c o m b i n e to work against a child, he easily loses his p o t e n t i a l as a learner. J o h n Noe, principal of E. E. Fell, pointed o u t several cases of Chicanos w h o read below the class n o r m . Zepeda r e m a r k e d that grades of Chicanos are rising, however.

Z e p e d a said t h a t this improvem e n t is in part d u e to the growing a w a r e n e s s of b o t h parents and t e a c h e r s that t h e y must address t h e p r o b l e m and seek b e t t e r educ a t i o n f o r the minor ity y o u t h in t h e area.

In o r d e r to m a k e teachers more aware of t h e special p r o b l e m s of C h i c a n o s as well as b e t t e r acquaint t h e m with the Latin c u l t u r e , the Holland public schools are planning a series of in-service training sessions f o r area teachers. In addit i o n , t h e city has hired 14 Spanish-speaking teacher aids.

H o w e v e r , E.E. Fell does not have even one of these teachers, Z e p e d a said. What's more, the s c h o o l poses special p r o b l e m s to all s t u d e n t s there, he said.

The E.E. Fell J u n i o r High S c h o o l c o m p l e x consists of a large s t r u c t u r e at River Avenue and S i x t e e n t h Street, the 60-year-old f o r m e r Holland High building which is half a block away on Fift e e n t h Street and an ancient struct u r e k n o w n as t h e Christian building which once served as a Christian e l e m e n t a r y school. This building is located across River Ave., a n o t h e r block a w a y . T w o portable classr o o m s are also being used.

These buildings are spread over a two-block area. Principal Noe n o t e s t h a t in inclement weather s t u d e n t s o f t e n arrive in class dripping wet and shivering.

Aging facilities and crowded conditions hamper students attending Holland's only junior high. facility but it will not be ready for several years. Noe hopes that t h e new school m a y solve s o m e of the p r o b l e m s that prevent the present school f r o m being as effective as it should be.

Noe noted that the present facility has no hot lunch program and that s t u d e n t s must either walk t h e m a n y blocks h o m e or use f o o d machines located in t h e school's a u d i t o r i u m .

Many s t u d e n t s bring their own lunches to school but Zepeda points o u t t h a t in m a n y of the poorer m i n o r i t y families, b o t h parents work and the s t u d e n t s must o f t e n go w i t h o u t lunch.

T h e present c o m p l e x boasts one 4 8 - s t u d e n t - c a p a c i t y library which serves t h e 1300 children.

While a variety of resource material is available the c r a m p e d quarters d o n ' t encourage s t u d e n t s to c o m e in and browse, Noe said.

Despite t h e handicap of ina d e q u a t e facilities, faculty are seeking to m o t i v a t e and involve all s t u d e n t s in t h e learning process, Zepeda said. T eacher s are presently planning t o present a talent show which t h e y h o p e will help establish a closer rapport with the children.

Zepeda stressed the i m p o r t a n c e of one-to-one c o m m u n i c a t i o n between minority children and counsellors and teachers. Zepeda described his work with a y o u n g C h i c a n o at Harrington School. He had been called to assist faculty at the school w h o could not s t o p the boy f r o m " c r a c k i n g the white kids

THE PRESENT library lending policy, i n s t i t u t e d a year and a half ago, has occasioned s o m e c o m plaints f r o m b o t h s t u d e n t s and library p e r s o n n e l .

T h e library sign out system allows s t u d e n t s to b o r r o w b o o k s for a m o n t h , and faculty m e m b e r s to c h e c k t h e m out f o r a year.

HOWEVER, t h e f t of b o o k s f r o m Van Z o e r e n is relatively l o w .

Asking the right question Editor's note: In the following essay, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs John Stewart states what he feels is the central question at stake in the discussion on curriculum reform. ( A t the request of the Academic Affairs Board, the Chairmen's Council is now evaluating several curriculum reform proposals in preparation for making recommendations to the board.) The anchor hopes to publish further articles on curriculum reform by administrators, faculty and students in subsequent weeks.

Amid f a c u l t y discussions a b o u t c u r r i c u l u m r e f o r m at Hope, a new h u e and cry has b e e n s o u n d e d , requesting a workable definition of the meaning of "liberal arts e d u c a t i o n . " Liberal e d u c a t i o n is n o t a s e m a n t i c q u a g m i r e if one defines t h e t e r m in a historical context.

L I B E R A L e d u c a t i o n in American society has b e e n clearly defined. While t h e r e are variations o n the main t h e m e , t h e f u n d a m e n t a l goal and t r a d i t i o n of liberal e d u c a t i o n in America has been t h e " l i b e r a l i z a t i o n " of t h e student-scholar.

In viewing t h e past of liberal e d u c a t i o n , t h e r e is really very little disagreement with t h a t educational a i m . T h e c o n t r o v e r s y , rather, revolves a b o u t t h e m e a n s and process t o t h a t liberalization.

BUT T H E d e f i n i t i o n can be h o n e d f u r t h e r . Liberal e d u c a t i o n in A m e r i c a n society has been organized around two central themes or components.

On t h e o n e h a n d , most liberal arts e d u c a t o r s have agreed, so far as curricular s t r u c t u r e is concerned, t h a t liberalizing (freeing-

up) of the s t u d e n t takes place when t h e s t u d e n t is enabled t o transcend t h e parochialism of his previous training and experience.

T h a t is, liberalizing takes place (albeit to varying degrees) when the s t u d e n t ' s intellectual fences are d i s m a n t l e d , rearranged and extended.

This aspect of liberal e d u c a t i o n is generally described by a g r o u p o f w o r d s h k e scope, breadth, diversification, which c o n n o t e a thrust that is centrifugal and expanding.

These educational concepts point t o the expansion of o n e ' s " i n t e l l e c t u a l g e o g r a p h y . " T h e student is " f r e e d - u p " when and as he is t h r u s t o u t w a r d b e y o n d his o w n time, his o w n experiences, his own culture, his own provincialisms.

FEW E D U C A T O R S have quibbled over o r replaced this aspect of liberal e d u c a t i o n .

But t h e r e is a n o t h e r d i m e n s i o n , namely an inward or centripetal t h r u s t t o liberal e d u c a t i o n . If t h e first d i m e n s i o n reflects t h e stud e n t ' s capacity to learn t h e new, t o e x p l o r e , t o rearrange, t o investigate, a second c o m p o n e n t is r o o t e d in m a n ' s drive t o unders t a n d , t o evaluate, to find m e a n ing.

A C C O R D I N G T O this second d i m e n s i o n , a s t u d e n t is liberalized only insofar as he finds Integration to his learning experience.

Without such a scheme his pursuit of learning seems hapless and irresolute. " T h e availability of "limitless learning o p t i o n s " w i t h o u t s o m e m e a n s of sifting and evaluating, can ( a n d o f t e n does) paralyze t h e will t o learn. An academic super-

Hope's library procedures examined he said. An i n v e n t o r y of library volumes m a d e in 1 9 7 0 showed a t w o percent loss of b o o k s , well below national n o r m s of a b o u t ten p e r c e n t , Lebbin a d d e d .

O n e library s t a f f e r told the anchor t h o u g h , that " o n an average a f t e r n o o n a b o u t a half a d o z e n people will request b o o k s that c a n ' t be f o u n d or a c c o u n t e d for."

S E N I O R D E A N Gentel pointed out t h a t the lighting course followed t h e p r o d u c t i o n sequence already initiated by the department.

Before a d j o u r n m e n t the b o a r d informally discussed problems with their role and procedures.

T h e inefficiency involved in reviewing t h e same courses passed by t h e c u r r i c u l u m c o m m i t t e e has aroused c o n c e r n .

T h e library could hire guards, Lebbin n o t e d , but the cost would render such a scheme impractical. " B e s i d e s , " he said, " w e d o n ' t want to destroy the sense of f r e e d o m we have tried to impart t o t h e whole library p r o c e d u r e .

" T h i s sometimes m e a n s t h a t a professor holds t h e b o o k f r o m May t o t h e same m o n t h t h e n e x t y e a r , " he remarked.

According to Lebbin, some s t u d e n t s have c o m p l a i n e d t h a t sign o u t p r o c e d u r e s at t h e library

HOWEVER, the cost of changing t h e present m e t h o d s and installing the new a p p a r a t u s would a p p r o a c h $ 6 0 0 , Lebbin indicated.

"Besides, t h e i n f o r m a t i o n required by t h e present sign out f o r m s is n e e d e d , " he a d d e d .

Hope College anchor

Black marks The article in this issue on Hope professors' grading policies toward black students provides evidence for the existence of an academic double standard at Hope. When questioned by the anchor, several professors admitted to grading some black students more generously than they deserve.

The double standard is indicative of racial attitudes prevalent at Hope.

The professors interviewed apparently subscribe to the belief referred to by Dr. Earl Curry: that m i n o r i t y group members

ancfpr editorials have certain disabilities in written or verbal expression. This belief has led many professors to adopt a paternalistic attitude toward blacks.

There are many problems involved in evaluating the position of the black student in the academic matrix of Hope. The problems include much more than the practice of a discriminatory paternalistic liberalism.

Part of the problem rests in the nature of the facilities provided by Hope. Many professors have had little exposure to minority group members. The preconceptions still prevalent in the larger culture therefore become the basis for the opinions of the professors.

Many faculty members face an inner conflict on the question of race. It stems from their attempts to evaluate what their personal and professional attitudes and role should be regarding race relations and academic standards. This conflict is understandable. Yet understanding that faculty members have certain ethical quandaries on a subject does not eliminate the fact that the problem exists.

The example of double standards regarding grading is symptomatic of the entire problem. The faculty and administration have allowed liberal confusion and guilt to substitute for concrete action.

The problem does not lie w i t h the faculty alone. The administration also is to

Readers

Many blacks are now available on the job market who are well qualified in their vocational areas. Hope College is deceiving minority students if it assumes that their credentials will match those of well educated minority group members.

There is also the serious question of the integrity of any educational institution which intentially overlooks any student's academic deficiencies. Obviously, there is no purpose in granting someone a valueless degree.

Hope must face the fact that it is not providing an adequate academic or social environment for minority students. If the college is to continue to enroll minority group members it must take the initiative in providing adequate facilities for those students. If it does not, then it is guilty of a paternalism whose fruit is still racial inequality.

would be prohibitive. Apparently the cost of installing and subsequently removing a set of worthless turnstiles was not prohibitive, however.

The second problem facing the library is theft. Lebbin reported that Van Zoeren has a relatively low two percent theft rate.

However, this figure was determined at the last inventory in 1970. Students in 1972 are discovering that a much needed book is not on the shelf nor has it been legitimately taken f r o m the library.

Considering the annoyance involved in completing a sign-out slip, it is no surprise that many students opt for the easier if less licit route of merely walking out of the library w i t h the book. The implementation of an automatic sign-out system would reduce the unauthorized borrowing.

Hoggin' the 'Opus' in deciding what would be included in the p u b l i c a t i o n - y e s , it surely must have been difficult deciding which of their own works t h e y would eliminate.

Finally, one last q u e s t i o n : Were the t h r e e of y o u sleeping when you allowed writing f r o m the five non-staff c o n t r i b u t o r s to slip in a m o n g t h e works of Farrar, Mulder and Swieringa?

Allison Campbell

Corrections Apparently I had the wrong impression, for the "Opus" is nothing more than a vehicle for Steve Farrar, Martha Mulder and Gerald Swieringa to conveniently exhibit their accomplishments.

1 find it hard to believe that only five other contributors submitted work worthy of publication. I have no objection t o the editor and associate editors publishing a collection of their combined work. My objection lies in the fact that they used the "Opus" for this purpose.

The editor's introduction speaks of the difficulties he and the associate editors had

These students are being misled by the college. While double standards do exist in life, it is not the case that allowances are usually made for incompetence in business.

The era of tokenism in hiring is coming to an end.

blame for deliberately recruiting black students and then not providing adequate support for the student. M i n o r i t y group students need more than remedial reading programs. Presupposition of academic incompetence hardly constitutes an effective e f f o r t to aid blacks and other m i n o r i t y groups adjust t o an environment that still remains essentially homogenous.

It is prejudicial and denigrating to expect that m i n o r i t y students should learn to adjust to the quirks and attitudes of the white majority at Hope. This becomes even more unfair when the college actively pursues m i n o r i t y recruitment.

It is dehumanizing to deny minority groups members their cultural identity. In addition, m i n o r i t y group students are being harmed rather than helped by a grading system that allows those students who do have serious deficits in their academic background to matriculate into Hope and graduate w i t h the same academic disabilities w i t h which they entered.

Library malaise Several facts pointed out in the library article on page three have implications which cannot be ignored. Student reactions to library policies and practices tend to be of t w o kinds - negative or apathetic. The lack of any definite feedback f r o m students is probably the reason the library has done nothing to modify its lending policies and procedures.

One of the major problems is the procedure used for signing out books: it is time-consuming and cumbersome. A system such as that used at most other colleges should be implemented at Hope, whereby the insertion of a student ID card into a machine is all that is required to check out a book.

According to Director of Libraries Lee Lebbin, the cost of installing such a system

In last week's anchor, an article on the n e w GLCA summer school program in Dubrovnik, Yugoslavia stated that the cost of the porgram would amount to $ 1 3 2 5 , not including transportation. The anchor has since learned that the $ 1 3 2 5 fee does include the cost of the transatlantic flights.

In last week's column by Neal Freedman entitled "Panther Politics," Bobby Seale was quoted as saying " . . . we are the only vehicle o f the people." The quote should have read " . . . we are only the vehicle of the people."

Secret service

by Art Buchwald Copyright Š 1 9 7 2 , Los Angeles Times Syndicate

O n e of the best-kept secrets of the N i x o n A d m i n i s t r a t i o n was blown during the P r e s i d e n t ' s trip t o China last w e e k . T h e A m e r i c a n people discovered t h a t t h e r e is a highly c o n f i d e n t i a l organization advising the President on foreign a f f a i r s which is called t h e State D e p a r t m e n t . T h e head of this secret apparat is a lawyer named William Rogers, an old f r i e n d of President Nixon.

THIS IS HOW THE e x i s t e n c e of this u n d e r c o v e r agency was revealed. When President Nixon went to China, he was seen in the c o m p a n y of a sandy-haired man w h o rarely left the President's side. Most r e p o r t e r s on the trip assumed he was a Secret Service man and paid n o a t t e n t i o n to h i m .

But t h e n the President went t o visit C h a i r m a n Mao Tse-tung, and t h e newsp a p e r m e n discovered that t h e sandy-haired man did not a c c o m p a n y Mr. N i x o n . This k n o c k e d out t h e t h e o r y t h a t t h e mysterious p e r s o n was a Secret Service agent.

WHEN QUESTIONED a b o u t w h a t the person was doing on the t r i p , R o n Ziegler r e l u c t a n t l y a d m i t t e d that t h e m a n ' s n a m e was William Rogers and he held t h e title of s e c r e t a r y of state, and he had s o m e t h i n g to do w i t h foreign affairs, t h o u g h Ziegler r e f u s e d to go into it any f u r t h e r .

Meanwhile, back in Washington, r e p o r t ers w e r e trying to find out m o r e a b o u t the State D e p a r t m e n t and where it f i t t e d i n t o the d i p l o m a t i c picture.

THE WHITE HOUSE SEEMED very d i s t u r b e d a b o u t t h e leak, and J. Edgar Hoover has been ordered t o find out who blew Mr. Rogers' cover.

A White House s p o k e s m a n told me, " I t does n o good for the security of the n a t i o n t o talk a b o u t the role of the State D e p a r t m e n t in foreign affairs. T h e people who revealed t h e existence of Mr. Rogers and t h e agency he represents may believe they were reporting news, but in e f f e c t they are only giving aid and c o m f o r t t o the enemy."

"DOES THE REVELATION of a State D e p a r t m e n t m e a n t h a t Henry Kissinger is not r u n n i n g t h e entire foreign policy of t h e United S t a t e s ? " " I t m e a n s n o such thing. All policies on foreign affairs are still made by the 'Dep a r t m e n t of Kissinger' or, as we call it here, t h e D O K . The S t a t e D e p a r t m e n t , and I'm n o t c o n f i r m i n g t h e r e is one, mind y o u , is sort of a b a c k u p organization which provides t h e President with i n f o r m a t i o n he might miss fro-m his usual s o u r c e s . " "IF THIS IS T R U E , why all the mystery a b o u t t h e organization? Why h a s n ' t t h e c o u n t r y h e a r d a b o u t the S t a t e Department b e f o r e ? A n d why has t h e i d e n t i t y of William Rogers, as head of it, been kept a secret?" " T h e President believes t h a t t h e r e are certain agencies that can o p e r a t e b e t t e r if t h e y are not publicized. If people k n e w what Mr. Rogers did, he would not have t h e f r e e d o m of m o v e m e n t that he has n o w .

He can go a n y w h e r e in t h e world w i t h o u t being r e c o g n i z e d . T h e President can assign him missions t h a t w o u l d be impossible f o r s o m e o n e as well k n o w n as Henry Kissinger to take. T h e S t a t e D e p a r t m e n t , because of its a n o n y m i t y , has b e e n able t o p e r f o r m a great service t o t h e n a t i o n . " "DO YOU BELIEVE the gamble of taking Mr. Rogers t o Peking was w o r t h all the t r o u b l e t h a t the S t a t e D e p a r t m e n t is now i n ? " "That's Monday morning quarterbacking. F r o m t h e beginning we were aware that it was a calculated risk to allow Mr. Rogers to be seen in s u c h close p r o x i m i t y to the President. But at the time t h e decision was m a d e , we had no idea t h a t the President would meet Mao Tse-tung, and Rogers w o u l d n ' t . " "WILL THE STATE D e p a r t m e n t be d i s m a n t l e d , n o w that its role is out in t h e open?" " T h a t decision is u p to Dr. Kissinger."

anchor review

'Sexual Mythology : study of the feminist revolt Editor's note: This week's anchor review is written by senior philosophy major Bette Jane Gaydos.

She reviews Masculine/Feminine: Readings in Sexual Mythology and the Liberation of Women, edited by Betty Roszak and Theodore Roszak (Harper Colophon Books, $ 2 . 4 5 ) .

In this pseudo-civilized, phallicoriented partriarchy called s o c i e t y , it is surprising at all t h a t we s t u m b l e u p o n dissident literature w r i t t e n by the " u n t o u c h ables" - women.

PERHAPS THIS is because the insatiable s u p e r i o r i t y of the male allows him t o give females a t o k e n o f f e r i n g , or it might be t h a t the male intellect is so far above t h a t of t h e f e m a l e t h a t the simplicity of style allows her w o r k s t o be slipped u n d e r t h e d o o r , so to speak. But e n o u g h of s p e c u l a t i o n .

In any event, w o m e n ' s liberation literature ( n o t to be c o n f u s e d with such male-directed i m i t a t i o n s as Woman's Day or How to Meet and Keep Your Man Through Astrology) is r u n n i n g off the presses and slowly creeping into the limited libraries of t h o s e crude, lowly creatures called women.

U N L I K E MANY of the writings which express v e h e m e n c e and c o n t e m p t of w o m a n ' s oppression, this work a t t e m p t s t o present in objective, concrete terms, a rationale f o r t h e o u t r a g e o u s , inc o m p r e h e n s i b l e o u t b u r s t s of feminists.

As its title d e n o t e s , the book a t t e m p t s t o o f f e r , t h r o u g h selective readings, an u n d e r s t a n d i n g of this 2 4 0 0 - y e a r enslavement of t h e female.

IN T H E F I R S T s e c t i o n , " T h e Man P r o b l e m , " one is exposed to the male sexist point of view. It is

a p i t y t h e e d i t o r s d o n ' t include such d e l i g h t f u l ogres of a n t i q u i t y as P l a t o or St. Paul, but their selections are definitely not lacking in p o i n t or value.

T h e vile, diabolical accusations posited by such revered H i s t o r i c a l figures as F r e u d and Nietzsche e x p o s e t h e basis f o r the d i s t o r t i o n of t h o u g h t in t h e i r d e s c e n d e n t s today.

THE ILLOGICAL assertions of these meager chauvinists is selfevident, e x e m p l i f i e d in such fallacious r h e t o r i c as: "If w o m a n were a t h i n k i n g c r e a t u r e ; " " A real w o m a n . . . is no f e m i n i s t ; feminism, like all 'isms', implies an intellectual a p p r o a c h to a subj e c t ; " and " T h e males' stratification p r o b l e m is linked to the world of work and power. T h e f e m a l e s ' p r o b l e m is tied t o the crucial m a t t e r of w h o m it is possible to m a r r y . " T h e second section, entitled " S o m e Male Allies," deals with the " U n c l e T o m s " of the masculine r e a l m . T h r o u g h the words of George Bernard Shaw and T h e o dore R o s z a k , a m o n g others, one b e c o m e s aware of some of the guilt and pity t h o s e on the o t h e r side can m u s t e r f r o m their pinnacle of s u p r e m a c y .

S Y M P A T H E T I C words such as - " T h e sum of the m a t t e r is that unless Woman repudiates her w o m a n l i n e s s , her duty to her h u s b a n d , to her children, to society, t o the law, and to everyone but herself, she cannot emancipate herself;" "We s o m e t i m e s marry t h e pet w o m a n , carrying out t h e paternalistic s c h e m e ; " and " W o m e n were indeed the first niggers in history - and are still apt t o be the last l i b e r a t e d ; " almost make one believe that u n d e r s t a n d i n g f r o m o p p o s i t e vantage p o i n t s is possible.

T h e third s e c t i o n , " T o w a r d L i b e r a t i o n , " subdivides i n t o " B e t w e e n t h e Old F e m i n i s m and T h e N e w , " and " T h e New M i l i t a n c y . " Here o n e e n c o u n t e r s t h e raw data, t h e h a r d , c o l d , all-too-obvious facts - written by w o m e n about w o m e n for w o m e n .

IT CUTS T O t h e core of the m y t h s utilized b y men t o ensure their shallow, fallacious pinnacle of superiority a n d enslave w o m e n .

T h e invisible w o m a n , in her silence, has left neither her head nor her hands e m p t y t h r o u g h preoccupation with malesupervised trivia, as t h e all-toc o n f i d e n t man has assumed.

T h r o u g h empirical observation w o m a n has seen t h r o u g h t h e games and roles imposed u p o n her she k n o w s that this malec o n t r o l l e d c u l t u r e , with its all-tooeasy categories of masculine/ feminine and accompanying s t a n d a r d s , is solely directed for t h e b e t t e r m e n t and prerogatives of t h e male.

D I S G U I S I N G actions in the n a m e of h u m a n i t y , men have long f o r g o t t e n that " V i r is male and

F e m i n a is f e m a l e : but H o m o is male and f e m a l e . " N o t all w o m e n have p u t the realization of their c o n t r a r y - t o nature s i t u a t i o n i n t o intelligible, male-comprehensible r h e t o r i c , but they are n o t blinded by the falsehoods.

T H I S S E C T I O N o f f e r s a multitude of wealth in material f o r the reader of either sex. It validates that the m y t h s exist, w h e r e they lie, and h o w one can u n d e r s t a n d and o v e r c o m e t h e m .

T h e authoresses of this section do not solely advocate pulling the male d o w n f r o m his pinnacle.

N O T A L L A R E as radical as Valerie Solanas of the S c u m (The Society f o r C u t t i n g Up Men) Manifesto: " T h e male. . . is a halfdead, unresponsive l u m p , incapable of giving or receiving pleasure or happiness; c o n s e q u e n t l y , he is at best an u t t e r bore, an i n o f f e n sive blob, since only those capable of a b s o r p t i o n in others can be charming."

He reviews McKendree Spring 3

by M c K e n d r e e Spring on Decca Records and Harvest

by Neil Y o u n g on Reprise Records.

In t h e beginning t h e r e was a stringed i n s t r u m e n t called the guitar. It u n d e r w e n t changes in shape and size, it was electrified and a m p l i f i e d , it was babied and broken.

MUSICIANS HAVE entered the guitar i n t o the field of elect r o n i c e x p e r i m e n t a t i o n , resulting mainly in high powered and loud psychedelic s o u n d . T h e late 60's and early 7 0 ' s have ushered back an o p p o r t u n i t y for the guitar to b e c o m e w h a t it can be: not what it can be p o w e r e d to be.

T w o r e c e n t l y released a l b u m s , McKendree Spring 3 and Neil Y o u n g ' s Harvest, t y p i f y this trend back to t h e simple things in music: the folk guitar, t h e b'injn, and basic percussion. Both a l b u m s are a treat for hard rock-tired tars.

McKendree Spring i is a very good album.

After bouncing a r o u n d f o r a few years in t h e music spectrum, McKendree Spring have finally g o t t e n it together on this recording. T h e disc is a revealing and interesting expose of folk and s o f t rock at its best.

T H E B E S T SONG on the alb u m has t o be " F a d i n g L a d y , " a nicely d o n e folk ballad on side one.

and " D o w n By T h e River," a Neil Y o u n g c o m p o s i t i o n , is treated in a way t h a t even Neil would have to take n o t i c e of.

T h e electric violin and backing o r c h e s t r a add just enough to the t u n e w i t h o u t destroying its original appeal. " H o b o L a d y , " and " O h In The Morning," an Arlo G u t h r i e t u n e , are also pleasing.

T h e a l b u m is superbly arranged and will be a credit to any record c o l l e c t o r ' s library.

ON T H E O T H E R a l b u m , Harvest, Neil Y o u n g has b r o u g h t all of t h e " g r a i n " in simplistic musical k n o w - h o w into this one album.

T h e a l b u m is well put t o g e t h e r f r o m tapes made in Neil's barn at h o m e , with the L o n d o n Symp h o n y , live in concert at UCLA, and in the s t u d i o with Crosby, Stills, Nash, J a m e s T a y l o r , Linda R h o n d s t a n t , and the Stray Gators, Neil's new back-up b a n d . (Crazy Horse has moved out on its o w n . ) " H E A R T O F G o l d , " culled f r o m Harvest, is already almost a golden single, but the rest of the a l b u m is just as good. My personal favorite is " A l a b a m a , " but "Old M a n " and " T h e Needle and The Damage D o n e , " are also good.

T h e r e isn't a song on the album that I d o n ' t like.

S o while y o u ' r e in y o u r favorite record shop shelling out bread f o r Harvest, why not check i n t o McKendree Spring J ? " M u sical changes are goin' d o w n . . .

S o m e of t h e m are even O.K., b u t I never seem to run into any of that t y p e until I ' m safely behind bars. Still, I better hide those lids. I hear J.D. and Gary fighting over t h e m upstairs, and if the c o p hears any of t h a t , oh well.

I don't really r e m e m b e r w h y I started s m o k i n g marijuana. T h e first time, like e v e r y b o d y else, I guess I tried it out of c u r i o s i t y . After t h a t , being s t o n e d was its own j u s t i f i c a t i o n . As Gary p u t s it.

Nothing beats getting t o g e t h e r with a couple h u n d r e d thousand of your b r o t h e r s and sisters to get it on, then read a b o u t h o w groovy everything was in the straight press.

N o t h i n g like being a street freak in the spring and s u m m e r a n y w a y . Sleep where you w a n t . Travel all over t h e c o u n t r y . T h e closest a n y b o d y could c o m e to t o t a l f r e e d o m w i t h o u t being t h r o w n in jail for it.

Actor Jon Cranney: the audience is the thing

fascination for play-acting, but I've had it since I can r e m e m b e r . " C R A N N E Y , ON leave f r o m his regular duties as stage manager and senior m e m b e r of t h e acting c o m p a n y of the T y r o n e G u t h r i e T h e a t e r in Minneapolis, will play Falstaff in the t h e a t e r departm e n t ' s next m a j o r p r o d u c t i o n , Shakespeare's Merry Wives of Windsor.

In addition to his work with the cast of Merry Wivesy Cranney is assisting in the classroom, participating in b o t h acting and directing classes ASKED WHAT HE likes best a b o u t working at H o p e , Cranney replied, " M a n y people ask me if

JON CRANNEY, currently actor-in-residence with the Hope College t h e a t e r d e p a r t m e n t , only laughs and cracks j o k e s when typical interview ques tions are asked. " S e r i o u s l y , " he c o n t i n u e d , "I d o n ' t k n o w why I have this

ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE JON C R A N N E Y will appear in the upcoming production of Shakespeare's "Merrv Wives of Windsor."

I'm bored here, having w o r k e d with s o m e of t h e best a c t o r s in the c o u n t r y . On t h e c o n t r a r y , I find it exciting. " H e r e people are struggling with the beginnings. It r e m i n d s me h o w I struggled when I was younger, and h o w far I've c o m e .

I'm rediscovering where my hangups and limitations are and are not.

"I LIKE THE kids. I think I'm asking more of t h e m t h a n t h e y ' v e ever been asked, but I d o n ' t t h i n k I'm asking a n y t h i n g f r o m t h e m that they can't d o . " C r a n n e y ' s previous e x p e r i e n c e includes roles in 16 Shakespearean p r o d u c t i o n s . He was a m e m b e r of the Oregon Shakespeare C o m p a n y for three seasons. He's played many interesting c h a r a c t e r roles including one "50 year-old w o m a n with a 64-inch b u s t . " CRAN NE Y S A Y S that his most satisfying role was that of Novak in a touring p r o d u c t i o n of Fred Gaines' Stars and Stripes Forever.

The role he would most like to play is Trigorin in C h e k h o v ' s The Seagull.

"Good," "demanding" and " e x c i t i n g " are the words one hears most when trying t o find out what s t u d e n t s think a b o u t working with C r a n n e y . " H e w o r k s so h a r d , " said one girl, " t h a t you take it for granted y o u have to work hard, t o o . " CRAN NE Y S A Y S that he t h i n k s the solid base f o r a t h e a t e r is a solid audience. " T h e old cliche is ' t h e play's the thing,' but f o r me, it has to be ' t h e audience is the thing.' " T h e r e ' s r o o m for everything in the t h e a t e r - e x p e r i m e n t s , social c o m m e n t , pure e n t e r t a i n m e n t - but f o r t h e a t e r t o be valid, the experience must move the audience in s o m e way. People have to leave t h e t h e a t e r at least touched.

Faculty interviews show dual academic standard continued from page I dents involving alleged discrimination.

IN AN INTERVIEW with t h e anchor, senior Lorraine Price said, " A s far as 1 k n o w 1 have never been given a break either w a y . " A n o t h e r black s t u d e n t w h o chose t o remain a n o n y m o u s said she felt t h a t race had n o t h i n g t o d o with her grades.

Dean of S t u d e n t s Robert De Y o u n g said his o f f i c e does not deal with academic complaints f r o m s t u d e n t s . T h e question of the social life of the black s t u d e n t , particularly the w o m a n s t u d e n t , is one of t h e m a j o r p r o b l e m s the d e a n ' s o f f i c e has had to deal with, he said.

WHEN ASKED his opinion of the alleged d o u b l e standard grading a n d the a c a d e m i c e n v i r o n m e n t of t h e minority g r o u p s t u d e n t , D e Y o u n g said, " A d o u b l e standard can d o injustice to people and if it exists we should look i n t o it and closely e x a m i n e t h e results. " T h i s situation should not go on u n n o t i c e d , " he a d d e d . He said also that t h e m i n i m u m grade point s t a n d a r d f o r blacks is m o r e flexible than it is f o r white students.

DE YOUNG INDICATED t h a t "it is difficult to deal with t h e academic p r o b l e m s of Black stud e n t s and maintain y o u r integrity."

When q u e s t i o n e d a b o u t his o f f i c e ' s policies with blacks, he said, " Y o u have to have the courage t o tell t h e t r u t h , w h e t h e r the decisions are right or wrong.

You have to m a k e the decisions for t h e right r e a s o n s . " MANY STUDENTS, faculty, and a d m i n i s t r a t o r s saw the d o u b l e s t a n d a r d s f o r grading as s y m p t o matic of t h e p r o b l e m s involved in H o p e ' s policies t o w a r d all minority s t u d e n t s .

C o h e n said, "I think that in t e r m s of the academic p r o b l e m s of blacks there are some things which should be c o n s i d e r e d . " A m o n g these are the " n o n d i f f e r e n t i a t e d testing for reading and c o m p o s i t i o n a l skills.

"THIS SHOULD not be a criterion f o r barring blacks, but

those students w h o d o not meet the minimum standards ought to be required to pass the reading and writing standards before they are allowed to take more than fifteen credit hours for credit," he said.

C o h e n a d d e d that H o p e should " h i r e a person w h o is highly skilled in remedial areas. This person should either be black or very experienced with b l a c k s . " STEWART SAID, "I think there is a viable academic program f o r minority s t u d e n t s . Like a program f o r any o t h e r s t u d e n t it has t o be sought out and tailored t o his individual needs.

IAMS SUGGESTED that the college e x a m i n e studies c o n d u c t e d at o t h e r schools t h a t deal with the p r o b l e m s small colleges face regarding m i n o r i t y s t u d e n t s . " I f a person is searching for more racial i d e n t i t y , Hope has neither the personnel nor the resources to develop that identit y , " he said. l a m s felt that the language and c o m m u n i c a t i o n arts should be stressed.

MS. PRICE said, " T h e college a d m i t s m i n o r i t y s t u d e n t s and then ignores t h e m . It is not doing blacks a f a v o r ; it is helping itself."

She said also t h a t she resents the fact t h a t " w h e n y o u talk of black s t u d e n t s , remedial reading always comes u p . " Active p a r t i c i p a t i o n of the professor and t h e school is needed in aiding a s t u d e n t at t h e first sign of academic t r o u b l e , she said, and added t h a t t h e college should hire a Black counsellor.

FREE GIFT PAX

by Dennis MacDonald Editor's note: This week's Christ's People column is a reprint from the magazine The Post-American: Voice of the People's Christian Coalition. It was selected by column editor Steve Wykstra. " R e l i g i o n is the o p i a t e of t h e p e o p l e . " Karl Marx, t h e first ecclessiastical narc, organized the greatest drug bust in history and caught t h e c h u r c h passing a smouldering roach while the whole world burned.

BECAUSE OF HIS PERCEPTION of class alienation and the needed r e d i s t r i b u t i o n of wealth he saw all metaphysical or f u t u r e h o p e as opiating men with c o m p l a c e n c y and " f e m i n i n e v i r t u e s " like love, peace, a n d romanticized suffering.

What oppressor would not want a nation of passive, bootlicking, masochistic Christians high on heaven? Why, he might even t h r o w t h e m occasional morsels of presidential piety: presidential prayer b r e a k f a s t s , invocations in congress, 4-D d r a f t classifications, army chaplaincy, and " I n God We T r u s t ' , s t a m p e d on o b j e c t s of lust.

IF MARX COULD be e x h u m e d t o d a y would his analysis be d i f f e r e n t ? Let him hear a leading A m e r i c a n evangelist say that V i e t n a m is not a moral issue and preach his apolitical gospel while he serves as chaplain to the Republican p a r t y .

T a k e him to S o u t h Africa where white c h u r c h e s send missionaries i n t o the Zulu and H o t t e n t o t sectors t o preach the love of G o d , while s a n c t i o n i n g apartheid.

LET HIM READ American b u m p e r stickers: " A m e r i c a , love it or leave i t " on t h e same b u m p e r as " J e s u s is the a n s w e r , " " S m i l e , G o d loves y o u " on a c h a u f f e u r driven limousine, or " J e s u s saves" surr o u n d e d by such a freaking display of A m e r i c a n flag decals on windows, b u m p e r s , t r u n k s , everywhere, that o n e wonders what it is t h a t Jesus s a v e s A m e r i c a n flag decals?

Let him see the statistics of the American c h u r c h e s ' financial holdings, f r o m 50 t o 100 billion dollars and less t h a n o n e percent being used f o r any social service. A l t h o u g h evangelists d o n ' t call t h e m selves d r u g pushers when they peddle their American folk-gospel, " J e s u s f r e a k s " are more h o n e s t : " t u r n o n to J e s u s " - a s if He could be rolled in paper and s m o k e d !

T R A N S C E N D A N C E IN RELIGION is t h e culprit, says Marx. When men d r e a m of streets of gold, m a n s i o n s and c r o w n s b e y o n d t h e w o r l d ' s racism and squalor, they are less likely to invest themselves in the struggle to make a more j u s t world. T h o s e w h o escape the t e m p o r a l by trusting the eternal, avoid c o m m i t m e n t to change f o r c o n s i g n m e n t to c o n t a i n m e n t , have a heaven h i g h - a freaking trip on transcendance.

BUT IS CHRISTIAN t r a n s c e n d a n c e necessarily opiating? Or is it even possible t h a t biblical transcendance demands radical involvement in the

CHRIST'S

world? Or can o n e even suggest that any c o m p r e hensive c o m m i t m e n t to destroy social injustice necessitates s o m e t r a n s c e n d a n t perspective? Or further, can it be that biblical t r a n s c e n d a n c e is the best basis f o r d e n o u n c i n g , resisting and fighting injustice.

It is precisely at the point where Marx criticized Christianity most strongly that Christians find t h e most strength for a radical stance. T r a n s c e n d a n c e is subversive.

TO BE RADICAL, ONE MUST d e f i n e oneself outside the s y s t e m . S o c i e t y ' s s t a t u s a s s i g n m e n t s academic degrees, professional titles, power posit i o n s - c a n never be of u l t i m a t e c o n c e r n to a n y o n e c o m m i t t e d to revolutionary change.

As long as people are h u n g r y the radical never feels full; as long as they are cold he never is w a r m ; as long as t h e y are enslaved he never is free; as long as t h e y are p o o r he never is rich.

BUT UNLESS HE HAS a way of t r a n s c e n d i n g the values of the systen. c o - o p t a t i o n is not far a w a y .

What h a p p e n e d to the s t r o n g m o v e m e n t of a few years ago? Where have all the flowers gone? High; C o - o p t e d ? Tired? How does one fight off f r u s t r a t i o n and loss of vision?

Can t r a n s c e n d a n t values possibly supply a s t r o n g moral c o n t e x t and i m p e t u s f o r change that the m o v e m e n t has not had?

THE CHRISTIAN REVOLUTION is based in the p a s t - i n the victory of the r e s u r r e c t i o n , as sustained in the p r e s e n t - b y the piesence of t h e risen Jesus, and is thrust i n t o the f u t u r e - b y the promise of the new o r d e r , t h e Kingdom of G o d .

This is what e m p o w e r e d the disciples and the early c h u r c h in their struggle against the R o m a n E m p i r e for three centuries, until t h e e m p i r e conq u e r e d the m o v e m e n t by co-opting it. T h e subversive n a t u r e of t r a n s c e n d a n c e was neatly and safely given imperial doctrinal status.

AS THE WITNESS of Christ was c o - o p t e d and lost its p r o p h e t i c stance with the conversion of C o n s t a n t i n e a n d , ergo, t h e R o m a n Empire, so the A m e r i c a n c h u r c h has been co-opted i n t o safe silence

by A m e r i c a n culture.

"IF THE SALT LOSES its saltness, h o w can it again be salted? It must be cast out and t r a m p l e d . " If Marx t r a m p l e d on the c h u r c h , p e r h a p s it wasn't being salty e n o u g h .

T o d a y we must decide: is the t r a n s c e n d a n c e of Christianity going to be a joint-in-the-sky-bye-andbye, or is it going to be a means of f i n d i n g our u l t i m a t e allegiance and d e f i n i t i o n o u t s i d e a n y syst e m , in t h e Word of G o d ? Will it be a reason for plunging ourselves dangerously into the injustices of this age?

WILL IT ENABLE US to proclaim the radical gospel of liberation f r o m t h e p o w e r of sin a n d the u l t i m a t e victory of Christ and his k i n g d o m ?

WILL CHRISTIAN t r a n s c e n d a n c e again be subversive?

T H E D U T C H grapplers placed f o u r t h for t h e season, ending the meet for the second straight year.

H o p e placed three men in the evening's c h a m p i o n s h i p r o u n d , and walked away with t w o league c h a m p i o n s and the league runnerup.

In the c o n s o l a t i o n finals, three H o p e wrestlers picked up three thirds, adding to Hope's final t e a m score of 49 points.

O L I V E T , favored to end Adrian's three-year stranglehold on the league c h a m p i o n s h i p , had to wait until the third t o the last m a t c h b e f o r e they could celebrate their a n t i c i p a t e d victory over the second place Bulldogs.

An Olivet era may be starting, h o w e v e r , because three of their league c h a m p i o n s were underclassmen, and t w o of these were freshmen.

T H R E E W R E S T L E R S defended their reigning MIAA c h a m pionships. Adrian's little Mike Selleck won the 118 lb. division for the third straight year.

J u n i o r Selleck edged out T o m Tirb of Olivet, 2-0, scoring only one point in three periods of wrestling. His one point c a m e on an escape in t h e third p e r i o d ; he was s u b s e q u e n t l y awarded one point f o r riding time.

THE SECOND defending league c h a m p i o n was s o p h o m o r e Elliot of Olivet. Elliot had little t r o u b l e in winning the 167 lb. class over H u t c h i n s o n 5-0. H o p e ' s Rick V a n d e r l i n d was the third and final wrestler t o d e f e n d his league title.

K a l a m a z o o ' s Steve Myers, the winner in the 126 lb. class, was

voted most valuable by a poll of the c o a c h e s following t h e m e e t .

Myers was the only senior t o win a division c h a m p i o n s h i p in t h e meet as nine u n d e r c l a s s m e n , f o u r of t h e m f r e s h m e n , won divisions.

ED C H A V E Z was the first Hope m a t m a n t o wrestle in the evening matches. Ed lost earlier in the day to T i r b , 9-2, p u t t i n g himself into the evening's consolation finals.

In his quest for third place, Chavez picked u p a near-fall and a reversal to chalk up a 5-1 victory over Bernie Eisenga of Calvin.

H O P E ' S S E C O N D third place finish was racked up by Kevin Holleman in the 150 p o u n d class.

H o l l e m a n lost early in t h e d a y , but c a m e back to win late in the a f t e r n o o n 19-7, to earn a shot at third place.

Kevin reversed his man twice, to tie u p the c o n s o l a t i o n match twice. He needed one point awarded for riding t i m e to clinch a 5-4 victory.

IN T H E 177 lb. class consolation m a t c h , Eric Bratt finally w o u n d u p with a 23-16 victory over Van Rekern of Calvin. In the m a t c h Bratt had five reversals and t w o near-falls.

WITH A L I T T L E over a minute left in t h e game, Dan scored t h e point that made him second only to F l o y d Brady, a n o t h e r H o p e g r a d u a t e , in the all-time MIAA scoring list.

S h i n n y finishes his exploitfilled career with a total of 1841 p o i n t s as a D u t c h m a n . This past season he averaged 25.7 p o i n t s a game on a total of 2 3 3 field goals and 121 charity tosses.

SINCE HIS f r e s h m a n year, he has averaged 1 5.1, 19.7, 2 2 . 9 , and 25.7 respectively. Each year he has led t h e t e a m in scoring and f o r t h e past t w o years has b e e n allleague.

This year he won the MIAA scoring title a f t e r being second to A l m a ' s Charles Hudson for t w o consecutive y e a r s ; u n d o u b t e d l y he will be named all-league. He holds the MIAA one game scoring record with a mark of 51 p o i n t s tallied against Albion in his s o p h o more year.

A MAN WHO played in the s h a d o w of S h i n n y for f o u r years is senior f o r w a r d Marty S n o a p . Marty has p r o b a b l y been even m o r e maligned by fans and press t h a n S h i n n y has.

This past fall a local sportswriter called him a "garbage m a n , " t w o words with very negative c o n n o t a t i o n s . This r e p o r t e r feels S n o a p is a hustler w h o is in t h e right place at t h e right time.

T U E S D A Y N I G H T , S n o a p bec a m e only t h e tenth player in H o p e basketball history to crack t h e 1000 point barrier. Needing 13 to achieve the mark, Marty scored 17 to give him a career t o t a l of 1004.

A great a t h l e t e (he has been H o p e ' s c a t c h e r f o r the past three years) S n o a p also finished with 6 3 2 career r e b o u n d s .

KALAMAZOO came into T u e s d a y ' s game with a 1-10 league r e c o r d , having r e c o r d e d their first win against Alma the previous S a t u r d a y night. However, the Hornets, not k n o w n f o r their s h o o t i n g (season average 38 p e r c e n t ) were hoi at t h e s t a r t , and made the first part of t h e game close.

At o n e point in the first half, t h e visitors were ahead by as m a n y as five points. Only t h e s h o o t i n g of Shinabarger, Hank a m p , and Brandsma kept H o p e in t h e game. .

WITH 7 : 4 0 left to play, Hope finally t o o k the lead f o r good, 31-30. By intermission the score was 4 7 - 3 8 .

In t h e second half H o p e gradually built up the lead until t h e y were ahead by as m a n y as 20 points. F r o m t h e r e the D u t c h coasted t o a 107-86 victory.

AS IN P R E V I O U S games, the D u t c h p r o d u c e d five men in double figures. Leading b o t h t e a m s in scoring was Shinabarger w i t h 39.

K a l a m a z o o had four players scoring in d o u b l e figures, with Bob P e n t z m a n leading t h e Hornets with 23 points. G u a r d Pat C u n n i n g h a m was r u n n e r - u p o n his team with 19 markers.

T H E V I C T O R Y over Kalamaz o o gives Hope an 11-11 season record and a 6-6 c o n f e r e n c e rec o r d , good enough for a f o u r t h place tie with Alma. T h e win prevented the D u t c h f r o m posting their third losing season in the past f o u r years.

S h i n n y led the t e a m in scoring this year with 565 points. He alsoled the D u t c h in free t h r o w s h o o t ing, having canned 99 of 121 over the course of a 22 game season for 82 p e r c e n t . Snoap was s e c o n d in scoring with 281 points.

SENIOR Hankamp, who scored 2 0 4 , was t h e only o t h e r D u t c h m a n over t h e 2 0 0 point mark this year. Wolters, H o w a r d Dave Harmelink, and Brandsma had 169, 165, 152, and 121 respectively. Brandsma's average, however, was 13.4 a game, as he played in only the second semester games.

Leading r e b o u n d e r s f o r the year were Wolters ( 2 3 0 ) , Hank a m p ( 2 0 8 ) , and Snoap ( 1 6 2 ) .

Wolters is a j u n i o r , and will be relied on heavily next year.

T H E T E A M as a whole s h o t 46 percent f r o m the field, and a poor 67 percent f r o m t h e foul toss line.

T h e D u t c h m e n averaged 86.7 j o i n t s a game, while allowing their o p p o n e n t s 8 4 . 8 , for a winning margin of only 1.9 p o i n t s per game.

Next year will be a rebuilding year for t h e Dutch. With t h a t in m i n d , it is nice t o k n o w t h a t they o p e n their h o m e schedule Dec e m b e r 2 against Lake F o r e s t .

Faculty discuss boards at suggestion of AdAB continued from page I to revision of the c o m m i t t e e system.

"We've b e e n talking a b o u t eliminating t h e c o m m i t t e e s and working m o r e with ad h o c c o m m i t t e e s , " he said.

ASSISTANT Professor of Music Harrison R y k e r asked that a previous request that b u d g e t a r y decisions c o m e u n d e r t h e purview of t h e boards be r e c o n s i d e r e d .

His suggestion led t o a discussion on the q u e s t i o n w h e t h e r the boards are m e a n t only t o make policy or were designed b o t h t o make and help e x e c u t e policy decisions.

H U T T A R SAID T H A T t h e b o a r d s should limit their d u t i e s t o policy-making. t4 We need t o m a k e a sharp distinction b e t w e e n f o r m ulation of policy and e x e c u t i o n of p o l i c y , " he said. " M u c h c o n f u s i o n on jurisdiction that we've had in t h e past could have been p r e v e n t e d by keeping this distinction in mind. I think it's a q u e s t i o n of defining where the policy q u e s t i o n s are and where the lower q u e s t i o n s are."

PROFESSOR OF Philosophy D. Ivan Dykstra n a m e d an instance in which a c o m m i t t e e that supposedly had policy-making p o w e r s could n o t actually make policy. " W h e n I was on the a d m i s s i o n s c o m m i t t e e , I felt it was j u s t t h e r e in n a m e , " he said. " I t c o u l d n ' t really d o a n y t h i n g like d e t e r m i n e t h e size of t h e s t u d e n t b o d y . "

A S S O C I A T E D E A N f o r Academic Affairs J o h n S t e w a r t mentioned a p r o b l e m of overlap in the board and c o m m i t t e e f u n c t i o n s . " O n a b o a r d , it seems t h a t we spend t h e s a m e a m o u n t of t i m e going over t h e same issue t h a t was already handled in a c o m m i t t e e , " he said. " S o m e h o w t h a t p r o b l e m must get a t t e n t i o n . " Dykstra suggested that " t h e model for t h e f u n c t i o n i n g of a c o m m i t t e e in a state legislature" could serve as a d i f f e r e n t model for an administrative s t r u c t u r e at Hope.

T H E F A C U L T Y also heard a report f r o m Vanderlugt o n the J a n u a r y Board of T r u s t e e s meeting. The decision to a p p o i n t Dr. Van Wylen president was supplem e n t e d by c o n s i d e r a t i o n of o t h e r matters, V a n d e r l u g t said.

T h e t r u s t e e s decided t o transfer the m a j o r share of H o p e ' s f u n d s f r o m Holland b a n k s t o the Kent Bank and Trust C o . of Grand Rapids, he indica ted .

T H E B O A R D A L S O reviewed the m a t t e r of hiring policy, Vanderlugt said. " T h e t r u s t e e s have been satisfied with t h e recent hiring," he s t a t e d . " T h e y realize t h a t the college c a n ' t be t o o prescriptive, b u t t h a t it must have a commitment."

V a n d e r l u g t d e f i n e d t h e principle behind this c o m m i t m e n t : " T h e r e ' s a sacred o r d e r of t r u t h which m u s t be c o m m u n i c a t e d to a sacred o r d e r of persons: t h e stud e n t s . " Hiring policy m u s t be consistent with this principle, he said.
