Dr. Brink Awarded Grant For Chemical PurityStudy Dr. Irwin J . Brink, a s s o c i a t e professor of Chemistry at Hope College has been a w a r d e d a $20.420 r e s e a r c h g r a n t f r o m the P e t r o leum R e s e a r c h Fund of the American Chemical Society.

Announcement of the award w a s m a d e today by D r . K a r l D i t t m e r , Director of R e s e a r c h G r a n t s and Fellowships Division of the A m e r ican chemical Society.

The three-year grant was m a d e to Brink as a result of his work in the area of very p u r e chemical substances done last s u m m e r at the National B u r e a u of S t a n d a r d s , also with the h e l p of a P e t r o l e u m Research Fund grant.

Foreign Policy: A Crisis?

by Robert Donia

It has been pointed out by several prominent s t a t e s m e n , most of t h e m Republican candidates for the Presidency, that the Johnson Administration is having its probl e m s in the a r e a of foriegn policy.

It is the purpose of this column to highlight these problems, so that when President Johnson receives his weekly copy of the anchor he will be more fully a w a r e of the problems he is facing, as well as be spiritually enriched by reading "Dilettante."

P a n a m a s e e m s to be having special problems. Recently the government there declared a " F l y Your Own F l a g " day in which all local residents were urged to take down the flags of both the U.S. and P a n a m a and fly the family coatof-arms. This way no one was offended. even the government of P a n a m a , since the g o v e r n m e n t is mostly run by one family anyway.

Incidentally, the U.N. Security

Council reports that P a n a m a is now in close oompetition with Cuba for first place in raising cain.

If the U.S. ever loses control of the P a n a m a Canal, Lyndon has two possible courses of action: 1» he can send Billie Sol E s t e s down and steal the C a n a l back, or 2) he can send H a r r y T r u m a n down to tell the P a n a m a n i a n s w h e r e to go. Chances a r e the latter will happen anyway.

On the other side of the world in South Viet N a m , our ambassador there is faced with a Lodge problem. We m u s t , at all cost, prevent South Viet N a m f r o m falling into the h a n d s of the Communists, (But no one is quite sure why.) We have sent our finest fighting men to Viet Nam, including Robert M c N a m a r a , but to no avail. The trouble is in the government. Another coup is scheduled for May 16 (this is a semi-annual event) in which the Pro-Apathy

P a r t y is scheduled to t a k e over (exiensive r e s e a r c h has turned up no connections with the m a j o r i t y p a r t y on Hope's c a m p u s ) . This, say p a r t y leaders, is proof that apathetic citizens a r e a t last getting organized and doing something about their apathy. The U.S. Government is powerless to prevent this sort of thing and there a r e even reports that a foreign power, the Central Intelligence Agency, is behind the scheduled coup. Incidentally, H e n r y Cabot Lodge has m a d e a real hit with the Viet Namese, walking the streets and sloshing through rice paddies m a k i n g friends. Unfortunately for Mr. Lodge, the Vietnamese cannot vote in American elections.

Meanwhile in F r a n c e , General De Gaulle has hauled out his "I love m e " sweatshirt f r o m high school days and is now sticking his nose into others people's business — which has gotten r a t h e r bothersome due to the size of that e x t r e m i t y . Mr. 'De Gaulle has great plans for the f u t u r e and he has been out beating the d r u m s for the Glory of F r a n c e , Charles De Gaulle and Motherhood. Don't believe the r u m o r that he will hire Casius Clay for the purpose of bragging about F r a n c e — De Gaulle is doing quite an a d e q u a t e job himself.

Anyone interested in joining his m o v e m e n t m a y pick up their "Go C h a r l i e " buttons at t h e nearest Red Chinese e m b a s s y .

Cuba seems to have dropped out of the spotlight somewhat, ever since it was announced th^t the Cubans have ceased production of their latest b r a n d of cigars—they w e r e 90 feet long and exp 1 oded.

T h e r e were r u m o r s t h a t Castro m a y shave off his beard—he's waiting for an offer from Gillette, but that firm r e f u s e s to p a y the 30 pieces of sPver he d e m a n d s .

Other problems exist, too, but we a r e confident ^he S t o t e Departm e n t will h e a r about t h e m sooner or later. If not, it's certain that Senator Keating will know, and he'H turn the information over to the House Rules C o m n r t t e e . which is the group t h a t really r u n s the country.

Scholarships Change for Needy Students Changes in the p r o c e d u r e of awarding scholarships have been announced by Dr. John W. Hollenbach, vice p r e s ' d e n t of the college.

Beginning this year all scholarships awards will be continuing annual awards for all who h a v e met the established academic criteria during the y e a r . Students must have a grade a v e r a g e of at least 2.9 in the f r e s h m a n y e a r and at least 3.0 in the sophomore and junior years. Students . meeting these requirements will not have to apply for the renewal of their scholarships.

Students who are receiving grants-in-aid m u s t still reapply annually, however. Applications m a y be obtained f r o m the office of the t r e a s u r e r and m u s t be filed before May 15.

'The Fall:' Guilty or Not Guilty?

by J a m e s Prins (Albert Camus' "The Fall" will be the subject of a campus-wide discussion on April 9. The book was first published in France as 4 'La Chute." In the U.S. It was published by Alfred A. Knopf, Inc. The Vintage Books paperback edition contains the original Justin O'Brien translation.

Mr. Prins, who recently received his Ph.D degree from the University of Michigan, is an associate professor of English on the college faculty. His courses include the American, the English, and the European novel.)

T h e setting of C a m p u s ' '"The F a l l " is a sad and sunless A m s t e r d a m , u n d e r a gray Dutch sky. The dark a t m o s p h e r e of t h e city, the s y s t e m of canals, the Zuider Zee ( " a dead s e a " ) are m e a n t to suggest a dank hell of the souQ, a nether-land, to which t h e n a r r a t o r h a s descended. " A r e you f a m i l i a r with D a n t e ? " he asks a silent listener. T h e whole n a r r a t i v e is a monologue, or series of monologues addressed to this m u t e companion by a m a n who calls himself " J e a n Baptiste G a m e n c e , play a c t o r , " " a double f a c e , a c h a r m i n g J a n u s . " To his shadowy auditor G a m ence r e l a t e s the a d v e n t u r e s t h a t h a v e brought him f r o m a loftier role in P a r i s to the foggy streets, the dingy b a r s , the bleak little room he h a u n t s in A m s t e r d a m .

C a m p u s cleverly plants the ideas t h a t C l a m e n c e is talking to no one but himse 1 !. an idea t h a t t u r n s to our realization that he is talking to no one in p a r t ; c u b r b e c a u s e he is talking to everybody — cond e m n i n g the whole world in his profession of " i u ^ e - p e n i + e n t . " His n a m e is significant: t h e Christian n a m e . J e a n - Baptiste. suggests John the Baptist, p r e a c h i n g " r e p e n t a n c e for the remission of s i n s ; " the sound of t h e s u r n a m e , f l a m e n c e . suggests not on 1 y the French for r r v i n e and shouting ( ' c l a m a n t ' ) but also the F r e n c h for c 1 emency and m e r c y Cclemence').

Confession of Guflt C l a m e n c e ' s recitall is a confession of euilt: the o r o ^ r e s s of his monologue is a " f a l l , " a descent into a hell of private introspection.

Once, he tells his listener, he lived blissfully in a kind of E d e n of self-complaoency, one of the most respected l a w v e r s in P ^ r i s . the pro 4 ec f or of wHows and orphans, in his own estimation. He had been

at the height of his powers, successful, assured of his own righteousness and virtue — until one night he had failed to risk his life to save the life of another. He had failed to plunge into the icy w a t e r s of the Seine to s a v e a d e s p e r a t e young woman f r o m suicide. He failed in an encounter with h u m a n misery and t h e r e a f t e r he h a s been plagued by an unidentifiable laugh t h a t follows him e v e r y w h e r e , the ironic laughter of self-judgment.

He confesses: " I . I, I is the r e f r a i n of my whole life, which could be heard in everything I s a i d . " "Modesty helped m e to shine, humility to conquer, and virtue to o p p r e s s . " " I n short, for m e to live happily it was essential for the c r e a t u r e s I chose (to dove) not to live at all.

They must receive their life, sporadically, at m y bidding."

C l a m e n c e ' s f u r t h e r discoveries about himself a r e even m o r e shattering to his c o m p l a c e n t self righteousness. He rips off layer a f t e r layer of duplicity: " A f t e r all I h a v e told you, w h a t do you think developed? An aversion to myself? Come, it w a s especially with others t h a t I w a s fed up. The prosecution of o t h e r s went on constantly, in m y h e a r t . " T h e t r u t h is that the whole purpose of Clame n c e ' s confession of guilt is selfish — to gain f r o m his listener a recognition of the l i s t e n e r ' s c o m m o n involvement in h u m a n guilt and thereby lift the b u r d e n of guilt f r o m himself. C l a m e n c e is a " j u d g e • p e n i t e n t " : he tells his story so that h e can a c c u s e and judge through confession and penitence. T h e r e t a k e s place in his recitation a gradual shift f r o m " I " a m guilty to " w e " a r e guilty: "Covered with ashes, t e a r i n g m y h a i r , m y f a c e scored by clawing, but with piercing eyes, I s t a n d bef o r e all humanity r e c a p i t u l a t i n g m y s h a m e s without losing sight of the effect I a m producing and saying: 'I was the lowest of the low.' Then imperceptibly I pass f r o m the T to the 'we.* When I get to 'This is what we are,* the trick has been played and I can tell them off. I a m like t h e m , to be sure; we a r e in the soup together. However, I I n v e a superiority in t h a t I know it and this gives m e the right to speak. You see the a d v a n t a g e , I a m s u r e . The m o r e I accuse myself, the m o r e I h a v e the right to judge vou. E v e n b e t t e r , I provoke you into judging yourself, and this relieves m e of that much of the b u r d e n . " With self-satisfaction, Clamence s t a t e s :

Greek Week

" I a m for any theory that r e f u s e s to g r a n t m a n innocence and for a n y p r a c t i c e t h a t t r e a t s h i m as guilty."

Guilty or Not GuDty? Because " T h e F a l l " is a monologue delivered just f r o m the point of view of C l a m e n c e and b e c a u s e it quite possibly is completely ironic, it is t h e most puzzling of C a m u s ' novels, with an ambiguity, probably intended, at the very h e a r t of it. It is possible to look a t the

novel as a f f i r m i n g the idea of m a n ' s guilt; it is also possible to regard it as denying the ideas of m a n ' s guilt. According to the first view, C l a m e n c e ' s descent is something like w h a t h a s been called in the Christian tradition, or at least in the criticism of Milton's " P a r adise L o s t , ' ^ a " f o r t u n a t e f a l l " That p h r a s e is intended to suggest t h a t the fall of A d a m (the fall of m a n ) proved to be f o r t u n a t e for m a n k i n d since it m a d e n e c e s s a r y t h e extending of divine g r a c e through t h e e n t r a n c e into h u m a n history of God as m a n ; it m a d e necessary the Incarnation. The p h r a s e " f o r t u n a t e f a l l " also suggests t h a t the fall f r o m innocence or virtue can h a v e a fortunate, a providential ( d e t e r m i n i s m is implicit in both adjectives) effect in the fallen individual's new recognitions as to the n a t u r e of evil and his own guilt. Thus, by his fall, J e a n - B a p t i s t e Clamence becomes t r u e prophet for m a n : his 'clam a n t , ' his crying in the wilderness, is a proclamation of m a n ' s wickedness and guilt, m a n ' s need for penitence and g r a c e Cclemence,' c l e m e n c y . ' ) S t r a n g e l y though, the doves t h a t circle in the dark Dutch sky never descend: " t h e r e is noth-

ing but the sea and t h e c a n a l s , roofs covered with shop signs, and n e v e r a head on which to a l i g h t . " The only g r a c e t h a t Clamence off e r s is the innocence of universal guilt.

Irony The idea t h a t C a m u s is s t r e s s i n g the guiltiness of m a n goes against the grain of the rest of his work.

The c o n t r a r y view is t h a t " T h e F a l l " is pure irony: f a r f r o m seriously expressing a view of universal wickedness and guilt, C a m us is satirizing this belief. Concerning the doctrine of original sin, C a m u s once said: " P e o p l e h a v e insisted too much upon the innocence of creation. Now they w a n t to c r u s h us with feelings of o u r guilt." Note t h a t the two e x t r e m e s a t t a c k e d h e r e contain t h e course of Clamence's "fall." C l a m e n c e s p e a k s of his original condition of self-assurance as a s t a t e of E d e n , of innocence. He is a m o n s t e r of pride in his own perfection. When he is struck by a s e n s e of guilt, when h e loses faith in his own virtue, when he can no longer look down on other people, he s u b d u e s t h e m by m a k i n g t h e m feel guilty, d r a w i n g t h e m into a q u a g m i r e of r e m o r s e and self-abasement f r o m which they cannot rise — so t h a t he m a y judge t h e m , satisfy his cont e m p t for t h e m to r e c a p t u r e his pride. According to this second interpretation of the novel, C a m u s is a t t a c k i n g a view t h a t s t r e s s e s the d o m i n a n c e of evil, t h a t r o b s

m a n of his c a p a c i t y for m o r a l choice, t a k e s a w a y his f r e e d o m and asks h i m to wait till the doves of s o m e e x t e r n a l g r a c e alight upon him to r e s c u e him f r o m his hell of d e p r a v e d h u m a n i t y for some other world t h a n the one in which he lives. C l a m e n c e is thus a false prophet: his ' c l a m a n t , ' his crying in the wilderness, is a weeping m o a n of self-pity and hypo-critical pride. His ' c l a m e n c e , ' his clemency of grace is justification by guilt, a new kind of innocence that props his pride in an alienation of condem nat i on: if e v e r y o n e is equally wicked and guilty, everyone is equally good and innocent ~ and no one is personally responsible.

Devil?

I think the second interpretation of the novel is n e a r e r to being correct. When Mile. G e r m a i n e Bree, close friend, critic and biog r a p h e r of Albert C a m u s , spoke on this c a m p u s two y e a r s ago, I approached h e r on the question of Clamence. Her reply was emphatic: " C l a m e n c e is the devil!" She m e a n t t h a t Clamence, f r o m beginning to e n d , is a m o n s t e r of selfpride, his guilt j u s t another f o r m of p e r v e r t e d ego, hypocritical pride of self t h a t seeks to enslave men. This is t h e kind of devil Clamence is, and this, I think, is the image of c o n t e m p o r a r y m a n that C a m u s deplores.

But take your choice. Guilty or not guilty?

Traveling Through the Dark Traveling through the d a r k I found a deer dead on the edge of the Wilson River road.

It is usually best to roll t h e m into the canyon; that road is n a r r o w ; to swerve m i g h t m a k e m o r e dead.

By the glow of the tail-light I stumbled back of the car and stood by the heap, a doe, a recent killing; she h a d stiffened a l r e a d y , almost cold.

I d r a g g e d h e r off; she w a s large in the belly.

My fingers touching her side brought m e the reason her side w a s w a r m ; her fawn lay ther waiting, alive, still, never to be born.

Beside that mountain road I hestated.

The c a r a i m e d a h e a d its lowered parking lights: under the hood purred the s t e a d y engine.

I stood in the g l a r e of the w a r m exhaust turning r e d ; anound our group I could h e a r the wilderness listen.

I thought h a r d for us all — my only swerving —, then pushed her over the edge into the river.

by Carole Timkovich As s u r e l y as the blooming of t h e tuMps is the first sign of a Holland Spring, the flood of smiles and small talk and sorority parties m e a n s RUSH has begun again.

Rushees a n d actives a r e caught in the colorful crush of teas, coffees, and literary m e e t i n g s . . . .

"Impressions," " N e w York," " T i m e O u t " and the r e s t .

After a general m e e t i n g last Monday, at which P a n Helenic Board clarified rush procedures, rushees attended "opening s p r e a d s " of all of the six sororities on Saturday. The s p r e a d s paved the way for lit. meetings this week, w h e r e actives presented p r o g r a m s typical of their weekly meetings.Rushees w e r e required to attend two literary meetings.

After spring vacation, the r u s h p r o g r a m will continue with informal coffee b r e a k s . No rules govern a t t e n d a n c e at these functions and r u s h e e s should feel f r e e to come and go as they please. The schedlue for c o f f e e s is as fo^ows: April 8: Sib, 7 p.m. Sorosis, 8:15 April 9: Dorian, 7 p . m .

April 13: K a p p a Chi, 7 p . m . ; Delphi, 8:15 April 15: A^pha Phi, 7 p . m .

April 20: Dorian. 7 p . m . ; Alpha P h i , 8:15

April 21: Delphi, 7 p . m . ; Chi, 8:15

Kappa

April 22: Sib, 7 p.m.; Sorosis, 8:15.

Interspersed with the coffess will be a series of m i x e r s — at which each sorority tries to show its uniqueness. Sibylline sorority s t a r t s the m i x e r s with a b e a c h brunch on the shores of Lake Michigan (7:30 a . m . , S a t u r d a y , April 11). On the s a m e d a y , at 3 p.m., Dorian will p r e s e n t a tour of the World's F a i r , and Sorosis a glimpse at the Brothers G r i m m at 7 p.m. S a t u r d a y evening.

The following w e e k e n d , Alpha Phi holds its m i x e r on F r i d a y , April 17, at 8:30 p . m . ; K a p p a Chi on S a t u r d a y at 10 a . m . ; and Delphi at 3 p.m. Saturday.

The Dilettante

Quicksand

by David Von Ins Sterling Ennui w a s not r e a d y to die. He was just 21. His h e a l t h had always been good. Money w a s the least of his worries and he w a s e n g a g e d to a beautiful girl. A week before, he had been elected president of his college class. Was this all to end? T h e quick-sand w a s inching up to his waist.

Overhead a flight of a l b a t r o s s hit the s u n . " C r u m m y a l b a t r o s s , " said Sterling. " T h e y ' r e supposed to be good luck."

Sterling Ennui w a s an English m a j o r . He looked furtively about him for symbolism. " W h a t does it M e a n ? " he asked. There w a s no a n s w e r . It was m e r e l y a rhetorical question.

The quicksand w a s filling his navel. It tickled. F o r g e t t ' n g his plight Sterling l a u g h e d . The quick-

sand w a s rising.

Sterling E n n u i had once seen a movie in which the hero was about to c r a s h in a fighter plane. As the p l a n e was falling, the hero s a w his whole life p a s s b e f o r e him.

As the quicksand n e a r e d his a r m pits Sterling realized this was not going to h a p p e n to h i m . " C r u m m y movie a n y w a y , " said Sterling. He w a s in a bitter mood. (Let m e point out, D e a r R e a d e r s , t h a t Ennui is not by n a t u r e a 'bitter p e r son. You yourself m i g h t be p r e t t y g r u m p y if you w e r e being covered by quicksand).

On a b r a n c h above him, Sterling s a w a Robin. "A h a r b i n g e r of S p r i n g , " he m u s e d . T h e b r a n c h w a s only a foot above his h e a d .

It would be an easy thing to r e a c h up and g r a b it. Why had he l e f t his h a n d s in his pockets? He tried

to s h r u g off his displeasure, but the quicksand was u p to his shoulders.

Sterling thought about his friends back at the d o r m . His room-mate had told him he w a s cutting too m a n y classes.-Sterling had laughed at him. "Why should I worry about c l a s s e s , " Sterling had joked.

"I m a y fall into a pool of quicksand before t h e s e m e s t e r is o v e r . " It didn't s e e m so f u n n y to him now.

The quicksand w a s u p to his chin.

It w a s n ' t a p l e a s a n t feeling. A few m o r e m i n u t e s and he would be covered.

Sterling composed himself. He was r e a d y to accept his fate.

"All r i g h t , " he said to his friend on shore, "pull m e out and you can use m y c a r t o n i g h t . "

T h e r e a r e m a n y r e a s o n s why people m i s i n t e r p r e t e d the series: ( D f a i l u r e to r e a d all f i v e of t h e a r t i c l e s ( m i s s i n g t h e last o n e would be especially d i s a s t r o u s b e c a u s e it g a v e Mr. B u t l e r ' s c o n ^ u s ' o n ) , (2> f a i l u r e to r e a d e a c h one well, which c a u s e d m i s c o n c e p t i o n s , (3) a p p r o a c h i n g the s e r i e s with prejudices which blinded t h e m to the r e a l intent of t h e series, and (4) m i s i n t e r p r e t a t i o n of s o m e unfortunately o b s c u r e p a s s a g e s .

F i r s t , people h a v e c h a r g e d t h a t Mr. B u i e r is m e r e l y a d v o c a t i n g the rejection of the m o r a l codes set up by soc ety. This a s a g r e a t m i s u n d e r s t a n d i n g . He is basically saying that b e c a u s e society's m o r a l codes can n e v e r be absolute, and in our m o d e r n society a r e in danger of b r e a k i n g down c o m p l e t e l y .

each person should a t t e m p t to c r e a t e his own s y s t e m of m o r a l ity to sustain him w h e r e society's has f a i l e d .

" This involves s e e : n g the individual worth of e a c h person in his relationship to God and adjusting o n e ' s act a c c o r d i n g l y .

Another c h a r g e w a s t h a t this kind of solution l e a v e s one f r e e to do a n y t h i n g at all.

Rejection of society's m o r a l codes constitutes a sin in the e y e s of s o c e t y alone. But if a p e r o n c o n s t r u c t s a personal code of m o r a l t i y b a s e d on t h e t e a c h i n g s of Chirst, he is forced to consider e v e r y possible result of his actions and to ask himself, "Will this b e a sin in God's e y e s ? Am I using a person for m y own m e a n s r a t h e r t h a n t r e a t i n g him a s a child of God? B e c a u s e I d a i m to be a Christian, will m y actions turn anyone a w a y from C h r i s t i a n i t y ?

Winter Sports Around Country Extend into Spring Schedules

To the Hoop

by James Mace Last F r i d a y was t h e first day of spring, but in the world of sport the sounds of the winter season can still be h e a r d .

Cassius vs WBA

by J a m e s Mace

"A d e t r i m e n t to the youth of the world." So s a y s the World Boxing Associp^on of heavyweight champion Cassius Clay, but who a r e they to m a k e such a s t a t e m e n t . Granted they a r e authorities on the world of boxing, but few, if any, WBA m e m b e r s can claim to know how Cassius Clay is affecting the youth of the world.

It would s e e m that this staid body of s p o r t s m e n h a s co me out with a highly irrational and unfounded s t a t e m e n t . Their timing turned out to be p e r f e c t also, for next T u e s d a y the S e n a t e is beginning an investigation into the s p o r t , of boxing.

With the publication of this statement, Clay, along with m a n y other people, was e x t r e m e l y surprised and rightfully so. Clay can be held responsible to the WBA only for his actions in t h e ring and anything he does outside of the ring is his own personal business. To m y mind, and I feel t h a t I echo the s e n t i m e n t s of others, r a t h e r than being a d e t r i m e n t to boxing, Clay has b e c o m e one of the greatest a t t r i b u t e s to t h e sports world in m a n y a y e a r . Many of the world's youngsters h a v e idealized

Clay and very few know, yet c a r e about the fact, t h a t Cassius h a s become a m e m b e r of the 'Black Muslims.'

T h e r e s e e m s to be nothing at all t h a t Clay h a s done which h a s h u r t the youth of the world, but the WBA still seriously considers removing his title. Seemingly it boils down to t h e fact t h a t a few idealistic, old P u r i t a n s have brought it upon themselves to d e c l a r e that Clay is unfit to be the heavyweight c h a m p and in the s a m e light they a r e r e a d y to divest him of his crown. What can be m o r e in opposition to t h e principles of American d e m o c r a c y t h a n this?

If, however, eleven men (11 votes is all t h a t is needed to t a k e the title f r o m Clay) do find t h a t Clay is unfit to be t h e champ, one of the biggest m e s s e s in sports history m a y c o m e about. The problem of filling the v a c a t e d championship could easily b e solved but repercussions f r o m such an action could and probably would s p r e a d around the world. The plan, however, for filling the crown would go as follows: t h e No. 1 contender would fight the No. 4 contender.

while the No. 2 and No. 3 contend e r s would fight and the two winners would fight for t h e title. Such an a r r a n g e m e n t could lead to a Liston-Johannson fight, but the whole thing would c o m e off at t h e e x p e n s e of Mr. Clay.

It would s e e m that if the WBA w a n t s to t a k e the heavyweight crown away f r o m Cassius Clay and that s e e m s evident, they should either find a fighter who can b e a t him or shut up.

In such cities as Cincinnati, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and St. Louis the sounds of s n e a k e r s thundering along a hardwood floor, and a ball bouncing against a glass backboard can still be h e a r d . It is the sound of the Naiotnal Basketball Association playoffs, a series of g a m e s which will lead into April.

Up north the sounds of a hardened r u b b e r disc can be heard crashing against wooden boards, along with the sounds of slashing s k a t e s and thudding bodies. This is the sound of t he National Hockey

Pitcher Brosman Loses Job Due to Writing Talents

by Gordon Korsianje In an effort to spice up the sports page, I have decided to t a k e up the c a s e of one J i m Brosnan, who is f a s t becoming the Evgeny Evtushenko of baseball.

other clubs want him either, and it can't be b e c a u s e he lacks ability. for good relief pitchers a r e h a r d to find. Of course the conservative Detroit Tigers, in d : r e need of a reliefer, h a v e r e f u s e d to take him.

You will r e r m e m b e r E v t u s h e n k o as the Russian poet who defied the K r e w r n and w r o t e what h e wanted to write.

He has been sent into exile. Is it any wonder that baseball is losing f a n s to football, with thinking like this?

Brosnan is a pitcher of s o m e talent (2.83 E R A ) . He h a s worked for ' h e Cincinnati Redlegs and t h e Chicago White Sox, turning in creditable p e r f o r m a n c e s . However, he w a s dismissed f r o m both these jobs b e c a u s e he wrote two books and n u m e r o u s articles which the club h i e r a r c h y did not approve of.
