by Ted Bolema Following the selection of Chris Van Eyl as next y e a r ' s anchor editor, the Student Communications Media Committee has filled the remaining leadership positions for next y e a r ' s media organizations.

The new Opiw editor is Ben Vonk. He is an English m a j o r and is a m e m b e r of this year's Opus staff. He is also a student assistant for an English Department faculty m e m b e r and is the 1982 Associate Director of the Model U.N. Vonk stressed that his m a j o r goal is to maintain the high standards set by the current editor, Matt Fike, and he hopes to extend the Opus forums into other a r e a s of the fine arts, particularly dance, art and d r a m a .

The MUertone next y e a r will be headed up by LeVonda Knight, a junior majoring in English and Political Science. She has been involved in layout for the past two yearbooks and states that her goal is "to

American Eight Sculpture to be Introduced

I f

When the Pine Grove at Hope College trades its blanket of snow for a green cape, an exhibition of l a r g e - s c a l e sculptures will display their creators' abilities across the campus in Holland.

"American Eight," a collection of three-dimensional creations of wellknown artists, will be introduced in midApril and remain available to a r t enthusiasts throughout the tulip tourist season.

"American E i g h t " is a display of the work of eight artists whose works have been exhibited across the United States and abroad.

The opportunity to exhibit this collection comes to Hope as a gift from the Interpaca^Corporation of Parsippany, N.J. Hart and Cooly Manufacturing Co. of Holland is a division of the Interpace Corp.

I.C.E. Still Forming at Hope

I;.

I.C.E. is still forming at Hope, even though the snow is melting. Independent Creative Ensemble - a group of students writing, directing, and acting in original d r a m a s - is following up its first semester with a new slate of plays this spring.

The shows will be performed on Monday and Tuesday, May 3 and 4, at 7 p.m. in the Studio Theatre downstairs in the DeWitt Center. That's e x a m week, so students m a y use the plays a s study breaks-without having to cope with guilt about wasted time.

Three plays will be produced. The Permission was written by P a u l Fries and will be directed by Dan Doornbos.

Mark Mekkes is the author and director of Surfaces. Finally, a full-length musical entitled As Opposed to Chaos... has been written by D. William DeWitt; Conni Collins directs this production, which has music and lyrics written by DeWitt and J a m e s Milas.

In existence for only two seasons, the exhibition has been shown at only two other campuses. "The show is a distinctive opportunity for Hope and the Holland community of such size and quality," said Jacob Nyenhuis, dean for the a r t s and humanities.

Made of steel and aluminum, the works will display the various artist's experimentation with their medium. All the pieces are built on a large scale with heights ranging from 10 to 40 feet. Within the group, there a r e some similarities in the work of the artists: for instance, Mark

di Suvero and F r a n k McGuire both encourage viewer participation in their work; Linda Howard and Charles Ginnever concentrate on the aspects of perception and illusion; fluid movements is an important concern for Kenneth Snelson and John Henry; and Lyman Kipp and J e r r y P e a r t both focus on the elements of form and color.

The works will be placed on campus the week of April 19 and remain on display throughout Tulip Time week in May. Special events commemorating the exhibit will be held during April and May.

Richard Kennedy will be the general manager of WTAS next year. He has served three positions with the station and he has also worked for WPIV-TV in Philadelphia and WLAV-AM, WZZR-FM and WMAX NEWSRADIO in Grand Rapids. He is a political science and communications major and has also served on Student Congress and the Student Communications Media Committee. He lists promotion, engineering and announcer training as high priorities for the success of WTAS. With the appointment of these editors and general manager, there are other positions of these organizations to be filled by their new leaders. Anyone interested should contact these people or stop by the anchor, Milestone, Opus or WTAS offices.

Selected for Exhibition Hope College Assistant Professor of Art, William Mayer, recently had a sculpture selected for a juried exhibit at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana.

The exhibit is the 28th Annual Drawing and Small Sculpture Show, held from May 2 through June 27, 1982. The judge for this exhibit is Roy Slade, President and Director of the Cranbrook Academy of A r t - M u s e u m , B l o o m f i e l d Hills, Michigan. Ball State University has gained national acclaim with this exhibit and publishes a catalog which is sent to other museums and a r t schools.

Bandfest '82 Replaces Major Concert

by Christine Peterson The Entertainment Committee of the Social Activities Committee is responsible for producing a m a j o r concert for the campus and community. This semester the committee secured Friday, April 16th, and Friday, April 23rd, as possible concert dates at the Holland Civic Center.

Consequently, an all-campus concert survey listing possibly affordable bands was circulated. Compiling the survey data, the ten most popular bands were tabulated as follows: 1) Hall and Oates, 2) Rick Springfield, 3) Cheap Trick, 4) Loverboy, 5) Gordon Lightfoot, 6) .38 Special, 7) Charlie Daniels Band, 8) Phil Collins, 9) B-52's, 10) Ambrosia.

The concert agents of the top ten bands were contacted to check for further date committments. After speaking with these agents, only dne band, .38 Special, b e c a m e a definite concert possibility for April 23rd. Many of the other bands were too expensive or unavailable on our specific dates.

The Main Planning Board of SAC and the Entertainment Committee then considered the popularity and practicality of bringing .38 Special to Holland. The Entertainment Committee conducted a random telephone survey of ^ of the total student body. When the students were

asked, "If .38 Special appeared at the Holland Civic Center on Friday, April 23rd, would you go if tickets were $8?", 60 percent answered " y e s " and 40 percent answered " n o . " Monetary evaluations were considered next. The amount of money that could be spent on hiring a band was determined.

The total possible revenue was calculated by multiplying the total seating capacity of the Holland Civic Center by the average ticket price (3,000 seats x $9 equals $27,000). this figure is then multiplied by .6 since a concert should only be produced if all expenses can be covered by filling the house to 60 percent capacity ($27,000 x .6 equals $16,200). Now other fixed costs ($7,715 for production costs, advertising, hospitality, security, and box office) were subtracted to give the amount to be spent on a band ($16,200$7,715 equals $8,485).

- With this budget set, SAC was aware of the necessary monetary committment. .38 Special was requesting $12,500 for their fee, but SAC could only offer $9,000.

The SAC board and Entertainment Committee did not feel .38 Special was worth sizable monetary risk since the survey results did not appear to be conhng of .38 Special's popularity. SAC

also considered the fact that the Appropriations Committee decided not to give $5,000 to the SAC budget for a m a j o r concert next y e a r because the risk of losing that amount of money on one event could not be justified. Thus, the Main Planning Board and the Entertainment Committee decided that .38 Special would not be a good enough group to draw adequate ticket revenue to m a k e the concert a financial success.

But just because a m a j o r concert was voted down does not m e a n that Hope College cannot have a smaller concert. Thus, the idea of Bandfest '82 originated.

Bandfest '82 will feature three popular Western Michigan rock bands in Concert Friday, April 16th, at the Holland Civic Center. The show s t a r t s at 8:00 p.m., with a WLAV disc jockey introducing concert openers Limousine and Mugsy with the headlining band The Look. Student tickets cost $3 and a r e available in the Student Activities Office in the basement of DeWitt from 9-12 and 1-5 Monday thru Friday and at Woodmark in Holland.

The Look is a popular band that is on its way up. They have recently signed a recording contract with RCA. Its 5 m e m b e r s play rock and roll. While based in Detroit, this touring band is popular in (continued on p. 20)

Trustees Authorize Renovation of Durfee The Hope College Board of Trustees has authorized a m a j o r renovation of Durfee Hall, a 32-year-old dormitory on the Hope campus. The $956,000 project, scheduled to begin this spring, is intended to improve the general living environment, reduce energy consumption and provide needed space for the college's Computer Center.

Durfee Hall is presently the residence for 96 students. The building, opened in 1950, is named in honor of Mrs. Winifred H. Durfee, dean of women and professor of French at Hope during the 30s and 40s.

The project is part of an on-going effort to improve the quality of residential life for Hope students. Renovation projects completed in recent y e a r s included Van Vleck and Voorhees residence halls and the expansion of the Phelps dining room.

Work at Durfee will include installation of a new hot water heating system, a new roof, energy-efficient windows, new doors, expanded study areas and a general refurbishing throughout.

The Computer Center will occupy the area formerly used as a kitchen and

cafeteria. The college is presently receiving proposals for a new computer that would be installed at Durfee Hall.

The college's present computer is l o c a t e d in V a n d e r W e r f H a l l f o r mathematics and physics. Most users utilize terminals located throughout the campus to gain access to the computer.

The vacated space In VanderWerf will be committed to the college's growing mathematics, computer science and physics program.

The project is expected to be completed in time for the start of the 1982-83 academic year.

Members of the Women's League for Hope College have pledged $150,000 toward the project, according to Hope College President Gordon Van Wylen.

Comprised of m e m b e r s of congregations of the Reformed Church in America, the Women's League has supported several projects over the years intended to Improve the quality of residential life for students. Other recent projects supported by the Women's League have been the restoration of Van Vleck Hall and the renovation of Voorhees Hall.

Reviewrof the News The much-publicized El Salvadoran elections were held, with an overwhelming 63 percent voter turn-out. The moderate Christian Democrats were the leading vote-getters, but four right-wing parties had a combined vote total that equaled or surpassed them. US officials a r e meeting with leaders of the six parties that took part a s a new government is formed. Leftist guerillas suffered what Secretary of State Haig labeled, t4 a military defeat quite as much as a political repudiation."

Argentina Invaded the British-held Falkland Islands, and the British vowed to retake them. At home, much criticism has been heaped on the Thatcher government. Lord Carrington, the foreign secretary and John Nott, the defense secretary, a r e being blamed by m e m b e r s of both their own Conservative P a r t y and the Labor P a r t y . The claim is that the two should h a v e taken the situation more seriously and sent warships to the islands weeks ago, a s the former Labor government did in 1977 when such a show of force canceled Argentinian invasion designs.

Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev is ap-

parently seriously ill and has been hospitalized. It was disclosed that Brezhnev suffered a mild heart attack in early February, and a mild stroke on March 25 as he returned from Tashkent, the capital of Uzoekistan in inner Asia.

Politburo m e m b e r Konstantin Chernenko is understood to be in charge of day-today affairs.

President R e a g a n has not yet put forth a budget comprimise to the Congress. His close friend. Senator Paul Laxalt (RNev.) advised the President to do so very soon. Congress is eager to reduce Reagan's defense proposals and Social Security cutbacks.

A memorial to Vietnam v e t e r a n s is being built on the National Mall in Washington D.C. A huge V-shaped structure with the n a m e s of the 57,692 killed or lost during the w a r inscribed will stand near the Washington Monument.

by Amy Purvis Laurens Hogebrink, a Dutch spokesperson for the vitally important among Europeans today for peace and nuclear disarmament, addressed interested Hopeites during his visit to c a m p u s on Wednesday, March 31. His visit to Hope was part of a tour by European leaders for peace, aimed toward generating a . heightened awareness among Americans of the informed concerns and activities of Europeans working for peace and to combat the threats of nuclear proliferation.

The Dutch have taken and are maintaining firm stands in opposition to NATO's modernization scheme, which involves locating nuclear missile equipment in Holland at an Increased level, and, moreover, in discussions and activities toward world peace. Hogebrink represents the department of church and society in the Netherlands Reformed Church (the Dutch comrades of the Reformed Church in America) and serves as a leader in the Interkerhelijk Vredeberaad (the IKV, the Dutch Interchurch P e a c e Council). The slogan for the IKV disarmament strategy is "Help rid the World of Nuclear Weapons. Let it begin in the Netherlands."

Hogebrink described a phenomenon he calls "Hollanditis." Founded in 1966, the IKV, a network of all m a j o r churches in t h e Netherlands including the Roman Catholic Church, sponsors peace work in local parishes, " s t a r t i n g at h o m e " both to generate an understanding of complicated but vital issues, including the nuclear a r m s race a n d h u m a n rights, and to sponsor activities addressing and .acting on these issues. The focus of the IKV since 1977 h a s been on an ultimate goal of total world wide nuclear d i s a r m a m e n t .

Their first step was to remove all nuclear weaoonrv f r o m Dutch soil. According to

F o r

Hogebrink, now it is "politically impossible" for any Dutch government to accept on its soil 48 cruise missiles, the proposed NATO fortress additions, introduced in 1979, re-evaluated in 1981. The stand reflects the Hollanders' concerns about nuclear proliferation as a moral and ethical responsibility, their dissatisfaction with the political rhetoric of deterence and its uneasy factual foundations, their dismay concerning NATO's gradual shift from a defensive to an offensive posture, and their willingness to allow Holland to serve as a battleground for nuclear holocaust.

Newman worked with state and local officals, migrant f a r m w o r k e r s , f a r m w o r k e r union r e p r e s e n t a t i v e s , and representatives of agribusiness.

In 1969, Ms. Newman joihed the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, where she b e c a m e a m a j o r contributor to the development of the Administration's approach to migrant f a r m w o r k e r problems, day care policy, and public policy concerning welfare reform. In addition to preparing the policy options on day c a r e and welfare reform, she managed the evaluation of most of the Department programs.

In 1971, Ms. Newman was named as the director of the VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America) and ACTION programs.

The management of these p r o g r a m s included responsibility for a budget exceeding $150 million and for a staff exceeding 5000 people. In VISTA, she was responsible for the evaluation of project effectiveness, a job that led to the closure of over 100 projects deemed not to be costeffective. This in turn freed up money to serve 150 new communities whose projest goals and objectives and m e a s u r e s of effectiveness were established by Ms. Newman at the outset.

Upon conclusion of her tenure at VISTA, Ms. Newman assumed took a position as Assistant Secretary for Consumer Affairs, where she established a new operation with the dual responsibility of making the department m o r e responsible to the needs of the public and reforming the regulatory p r o g r a m s of the department.

Between 1973 and 1975, Ms. Newman served as a commissioner on the Consumer Product Safety Commission. While there, she developed a pilot program to

Hogebrink hopes that Americans consider the European peace movement as they describe themselves, not according to the labels assigned by the American media and by fheir opponents. Instead of calling themselves neutralists, the IKV wants nations independent from the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. to work to move away from the illogical behavior dictated by following deterence policies in order to avoid nuclear disaster. The IKV does not call itself a pacifist organization, but instead enjoys support from both military organizations and pacifists. The IKV takes a moral stand to limit the use of a r m e d violence and to appeal for new Last fall, the Netherlands Reformed policy concerning the a r m e d race.

Ms. Newman is currently president of the Newman and Mermanson Company, a public policy research firm that provides research and consultation in a number of subject areas, including product safety, railroad safety, housing regulations, and regulatory reforms concerning business.

The Woodrow Wilson Foundation was founded in an effort to provide small, private colleges with the funding to bring in speakers that they might not otherwise be able to afford. The Woodrow Wilson Foundation recognizes that small schools often do not have the capacity to provide students with the breadth of experience present at m a j o r universities and seeks to alleviate that handicap by providing s p e a k e r s w i t h a w i d e r a n g e of backgrounds.

Budget Payment initiated Hope College will initiate a budget payment plan beginning with the 1982-83 school year to assist families In paying the cost of tuition and other fees.

"Most people m a n a g e their financial affairs on a monthly basis, but colleges have traditionally required that payments for tuition and fees be m a d e in full at registration," said William K. Anderson, vice president for business and finance.

"We feel our budget payment plan, which allows monthly payments, will help parents and students with their financial planning and relieve the pressure of having to make large payment at the beginning of each s e m e s t e r . " There will be no costs or finance charges associated with the plan unless payments become delinquent, according to Anderson.

Tuition at Hope College next y e a r will be $4,980. Other costs for students living on campus will be $960 for room and $1,330 for board if a 21-meal plan is purchased. There a r e alternative meal plans available. There is also a $30 activities fee for all students.

Information on the budget payment plan may be obtained from the Hope College business office. .

A Broad Scope A letter to the editor published in this issue criticizes the anchor for concerning Itself with national and world affairs. We maintain our belief that their inclusion Is necessary and proper for a student newspaper. Our goal this semester in giving the paper a broad scope has been to create a forum for dialogue on issues of the day on Hope's campus.

A year ago, the hottest debate on campus centered around an article categorizing women. That was certainly worthwhile, for It made students consider their views on feminism. By raising questions of national concern, we hoped this year to stimulate constructive discussion that citizens of a democracy must necessarily Involve themselves in.

We have received many favorable comments regarding the "Review of the News." As students it Is difficult to read newspapers on a daily basis. We felt that a brief summary of important happenings would be a welcomed service--and we believe now that it has been. For the student who reads the papers daily, the Review is not a great asset, but there are probably far more who do' not read or listen to the news of the day. For them, the Review prevents their missing some of the key stories of the week.

While broadening our scope, we have taken care not to leave campus news uncovered. You have read on these pages the progress of physical changes on campus, stories such as Saga's lawsuit against Western; features such as an interview with the controversial James Randi, sketches of campus organizations; an entertainment page with WTAS highlights and album reviews, SAC movie previews and ads; and coverage of the arts, such as announcements of student recitals and dance and theatre photos and stories. Much of this partial listing represents new additions to the anchor; plus ideas taken from anchors of the past that have been shelved over the course of time. It is inevitable that a few items that should be covered are not, but we have made great effort to keep such cases at a minimum.

Students should Indeed be aware of national and world affairs, and should have a forum such as this student paper In which to discuss them. To ignore them would set a bad pattern for the remainder of our lives. College means preparation. Lack of concern about world affairs would be a great shortcoming, especially for liberal arts students.

Use Class Guide Wisely The course guide published recently by the Society of Physics Students goes a long way toward removing some of the mystery surrounding all those high-numbered classes. Yet It falls short of providing all the Information a student needs to pick a schedule wisely. If you've got the guide (you're welcome to peruse our copy), you might ponder these suggestions before diving Into what may be the most Important part of next semester: 1. Read the course description, either in the Hope catalog or In materials which several departments provide.

2. Talk to upper class persons, and seek a unbiased view of the professor. (Hint; ask what grade your source received in the course.)

3. Talk to the professors in whose courses you're interested.

Describe your abilities and Interests, and find out what they think.

4. Finally, use the course guide to help choose courses that fit together. Build yourself a load that won't be overwhelming, and seek a varied class environment. Balance large classes with small ones, paper loving profs with those who give tests, and by all means don't cheat yourself by shying away from classes with daunting descriptions.

Your advisor will be amazed.

President R e a g a n says the m e d i a a r e unbalanced. As everybody knows by now, he complained to t h e Dally Oklahoman: " I s it news that s o m e fellow out In South Succotash s o m e p l a c e has Just been laid off, that he should be interviewed nationwtde?"

Well, yes it was. South Succotash that's a little crossing between Comville and Beantown - h a d the only shop in the country that m a n u f a c t u r e d safety nets for the t n d y needy.

When the g o v e r n m e n t cut its o r d e r s for safety nets, that w a s news. Yet and still, nobody ever got a s m u c h publicity by getting laid off In South Succotash as the President got by losing his boot in the mud a t F o r t Wayne.

And the P r e s i d e n t gets even m o r e attention f r o m the m e d i a , by sounding off against the media. When did you ever see one of the 9 milllofi unemployed on the cover of TV Guide?

Reagan w a s on t h e cover, smiling. Inside, he w a s accusing the media of slanting the news about E l Salvador.

He said he wished reporters, when they got a ticklish story, would M trust us, and put themselves In our h a n d s . " He would tell them the truth, a n d how It would hurt if it got out. M But they Just go with the story," he said.

Well, m a y b e R e a g a n is lucky and doesn't know It. A president who got the kind of cooperation from the media that R e a g a n c r a v e s was John F . Kennedy. E a r l y in 1961, he asked several leading publications to tone down their coverage of his p r e p a r a t i o n s for the Bay of Pigs. So they did.

Afterward, Kennedy bawled out the publisher of the New York Times for listening to him. He said It they'd hit the story h a r d , they m i g h t have saved him from that fiasco.

Kennedy didn't l e a r n anything f r o m the experience, but the m e d i a did, a little. He began a s e c r e t w a r in Indochina that, a f t e r a while, got Into t h e p a p e r s .

it turned out to be, well, dubious.

This time, it w a s about a TV report on a disabled m a n In Virginia who had been cut off Social Security. R e a g a n said U didn't h a p p e n In his administration and besides, the m a n w a s a d e a d beat, holding downafull-Umejob.

It turned out It did h a p p e n in his administration, and the m a n h a d not held a Job in seven y e a r s . He h a s finally got his benefits b a c k , but a t this writing h a s not received a P r e s i d e n t i a l apology R e a g a n c o m p l a i n e d to the D a l l y Oklahoman t h a t we h a v e m a d e him ' 'Scrooge to a lot of people, a n d if they only knew I t I ' m the softest touch they've had for a long time.

T h a t m u s t be the truth, In his own fashion. R e a g a n h a s often mentioned t h a t he gives one-tenth of this Income to charity.

Some skeptics noted that his incometax r e t u r n s showed hardly a n y deductions for charity. He explained t h a t his donations w e r e mostly non-deductible.

He said no more, but I think the m y s t e r y is solved. R e a g a n h a s been helping those poor folks in South Succotash.

Being that you are so familiar with each and every aspect of pledging, let us ask you these questions: 1) What do you consider "degradation?"

Is It not also d e g r a ^ n g to get a bad m a r k on a test a n d b e f o r c e d to deal with that situation. In daily life we encounter many degrading situations, how we constructively deal with these depends on our level of maturity. As a result of our pledging experiences, we felt that we could (and still can) accomphsh ANY goal. Because we survived this sadism and terror, our self-concept, confidence and self-esteem were all further developed and clarified.

Reagan Tax Cut Defended High taxes, on the other hand^ especially Dear Editor: I would Uke to respond to the leftist combined with excessive regulation and are a tirade entitled "Repeal the Reagan Tax recklew increases tn Cut" by Dr. E a r l R. Curry, which was prescription for economic stagnation. printed in the March 18 issue of the Anchor. I have some difficulty deciding which points to refute as I disagree vigerously with almost everything Dr. Curry says in the article, out 1 shall try to focus on the m o r e gia ing flaws in his arguement.

To begin with, I wl' admit that I agree with Dr. C u r r y ' s s' tement, " I t is difficult to muster pit> lor someone earning after tax income of $75,000 to $100,000 per y e a r / ' Indeed, the natural feeling of many people toward such a person is one of Jealousy or even vindictiveness. The fact that a feeling is natural, however, fails to make it a rational Justification for a "soak the r i c h " tax policy.

The kind of tax policy America needs is one which will encourage needed investment in c o m m e r c e and industry and create the Jobs necessary to lower the unemployment rate. The Reagan tax cut, which includes a lowering of the top tax rate on investment income from 70 percent to 50 percent, a 25 percent acrossthe-board reduction in individual rates, and increased depreciation for companies which invest in new buildings, equipment, or vehicles, is just such a policy. By leaving more money in the hands of those who work and invest, the Reagan tax cut will enable workers and investors to save and invest more and to spend more on such items as autos, housing etc. This will work to revitalize our economy and move us toward lasting prosperity. Unfortunately, Reagan had to compromise to get the tax cut through Congress, with the result that the first stage was only half as much ^ Reagan originally wanted, and all three stages were delayed so that the first full sized stage will not take effect until J u n e 1 of this y e a r . If R e a g a n had not had to m a k e this compromise, we would probably not have to endure our present recession (which is a depression in Michigan).

There is strong evidence that the Reagan tax cut will restore our economic health. A similar tax cut resulted in strong economic growth in the loeo's.

The record of the Carter administration provides ample evidence of that. Charges that the Reagan tax cut win h a r m the economy are not supported by the facts.

Even more ridiculous is Dr. C u r r y ' s charge that the Income tax is presently an inequitable scandal which redistributes income from the less affluent to the m o r e affluent. For one thing, those who fall at the very bottom of the income scale do not pay any tax at all. Moreover, Dr. Curry refutes this charge himself In the very next p a r a g r a p h in which he states, "These loopholes have led to high groups paying an effective tax r a t e ABOUT EQUAL to the effective reate paid by middle and lower Income families" (my capitalization).

Furthermore, Dr. Curry is not even correct when he claims that the higher income groups pay about the s a m e percentage a s everybody else. As I stated before, those at the very bottom of the scale do not pay any tax at all. Those at the other end of the scale, though, pay a r a t e which rises to a m a x i m u m of 50 percent even after t h e Reagan tax cut. To be sure, there a r e loopholes written into the system, which helps to alleviate some of the damage. However, loopholes, such a s the personal deduction, help the lower income groups, who tend to have m o r e children. Others, such as the exclusion of 60' percent of long term capital gains, sound generous until one considers that capital gains a r e often due to inflation alone, and thus, do not exist at all in inflation-adjusted terms.

Finally, if Dr. Curry really believes that upper income groups get out of so m u c h of the t a x b u r d e n t h r o u g h loopholes, why on earth does he propose raising tax rates by rolling back the Reagan tax cut? Doesn't he realize that an increase in tax rates will only m a k e loopholes more attractive by increasing the value of each tax deduction? Why does he not ask for a repeal of the loopholes themselves?

Dear Editor: I would like to write a few words concerning Dan Rutt's P e a c e of Mind (March 18). 1 a m not writing to decide the issue of to register or not to register; to preserve peace at any cost or war, but only to point out a few e r r o r s in Mr. Rutt's thinking. I believe Mr. Rutt did not show Chrlst-llke c h a r a c t e r In his article. Also, Mr. Rutt falls to see the functions and structures of our society in proper perspective.

Mr. Rutt does not wish to sign up for registration whereas his government tells him he must. Mr. Rutt faces a dilemma.

It is okay to disagree with registration but not In the way Mr. Rutt advocates. I believe disobeying the government is not the answer. Mr. Rutt d a r e s his government to take lawful action against him.

Mr. Rutt is trying to play m a r t y r for breaking the law (I urge you to read I Peter 2:13-25 and I P e t e r 4:15). His Vrst paragraph really interests me. Let's put Jesus Christ Into Mr. Rutt's words, does the image fit? Would Christ talk In such a tone and language? Did Christ obey the laws of His time? The Romans had nothing against Him for Pontius Pilate said to the people before the crucifixion, "I find no fault in this m a n " (KJV). Don't turn Christ into a Henry David Thoreau!

Further in his first p a r a g r a p h , Mr. Rutt asks for the " r e t u n i to its (the government's) rightful democratic and constitutional principles." Yet, by refusing to register, Mr. Rutt breaks the law denying the democratic and constitutional principles that put that law into effect. I

wonder if Mr. Rutt truly advocates "democratic and constitutional principles." P e r h a p s the problem is with Mr. Rutt not with the Selective Service and its " t h r e a t s " or "old tricks" (I call these " t h r e a t s " due process of law).

I believe Mr. Rutt fails to see society, government, and his role In proper perspective. Our society (the one Mr Rutt wishes to live In) dictates the laws of the land. If laws a r e needed Congress passes them. If laws a r e b a d they a r e recinded or declared unconstitutional Presently, society says ail young men m u s t register. Mr. Rutt's argument is with society not the selective service. If he believes a law is wrong he m u s t gather support from society to change It. That is how our system works (look at Ralph Nader in the 1970s). The answer lies in working from within the system to change, not withdrawal f r o m society.

J u s t as Christ changes the h e a r t first, then surface things, so must Mr. Rutt change society from within the system.

Breaking the law only serves to antagonize and destroy chance for change.

Mr. Rutt is worried about his children growing up in a hateful world. P e r h a p s it would be best to teach his children to obey proper authority, teach responsibility, and show love. This world will always hate, and It Mr. Rutt really thinks about it does he want his children to learn about the love this world has to offer?

Sincerely, Brian Vander Ark

In Favor of Bedell

Dear Editor: The editorial in your last issue about Commissioner Catherine May Bedell was too oriented to personality and insufficiently oriented to issues.

A person who has been a teacher, b r o a d c a s t e r , s t a t e l e g i s l a t o r , Congresswoman, international trade commissioner, and mother over a thirty year period has much to say to the careful listener.

However, a related part of Mrs. The picture we get of reality through Bedell's message was that one must pay sources such as our own media, a Leftist attention to details of issues. Some people representative, etc. should in the future always resent details, but in the end most be more carefully tempered with a of those who ignore details themselves realization of why those sources a r e say- get ignored. ing what they're saying.

To be sure, Commissioner Bedell injected some of her experiences Into her Similarly, we should ask why the talks along with Issues.

Such were the recent sentiments expressed and applauded on our tiny, remote campus by the powers that be. As usual, the weekly contingent of anchor columnists did their best to press the issue. The warm reception accorded Dr. Arnold Ramos, a card-carrying member of the Democratic Revolutionary Front of El Salvador (P.S. I wonder what he was doing in Holland, Michigan?), served only to confirm the effectiveness of the propaganda campaign carried on in this country by the F.D.R. Indeed, any airing of contrary opinion during the recent period h a s been met with blunt disbelief; a cold shoulder; a snickering quip..

But Dr. R a m o s ' own "smoke screens" have subsequently cleared-they have been blown a w a y by the cumulative breath of the Salvadorean people.

Internationally-monitored elections have laid b a r e his thesis for what It Is. Any notion of a "popular uprising," so long a pet peeve of the liberal media in this country ( especially the anchor*), has been dispelled. Clearly, sympathies for the Leftists there a r e mlnlscule at best.

Clearly, the rebels there a r e not the rule, but the exception of that fragile political

not agree with him and does not fit his stereotypes of other viewpoints must therefore be lacking In substance.

A look at the public record Indicates that Congresswoman Bedell stood up for principles during her twelve y e a r s In Congress. In particular, she refused to bow to pressure from such groups as the John Birch Society and National Rifle Association, and such refusal was p a r t of the reason she was defeated for re-election in 1970.

What bothered me most about the anchor editorial was its implicit statement that people who stress the complexity r a t h e r than the simplicity of Issues are best left at home. One gets the impression that our speakers should be " f l a m e r s " who have a clear m e s s a g e such a s was the case with the Salvadorian - rebel spokesman. Our first F o r m e r M e m b e r s of Congress speaker, Walter Judd, came out with a strong conservative viewpoint which probably also would satisfy the editorial w r i t e r ' s implicit c r i t e r i a .

However, a liberal a r t s college also should b e anxious to delve into issue complexity.

I worked two years for a moderate Republican Congressman whose district included a large academic community.

What the editorial writer said about Mrs. Bedell is what much of the academic community said about my boss. At the time this was being said, he w a s doing much to Influence the Incredibly complex details of the 1974 T r a d e Reform Act. It bothered me then and bothers m e now to see Intelligent persons, whose commitment to society is evidenced by their usual fourteen hour Congressional work -days, attacked in this manner.

Commissioner Catherine Bedell has had a distinguished c a r e e r and did a good Job of speaking to diverse audiences during h e r several days at Hope. I a m confident in saying this b e c a u s e I attended and listened to at least nine of her sessions.

World Wide Women's Effort Dear E d i t o r j f As a m e m b e r of W o m a n ' s Organization I would like to mention some facts about the position of w o m e n in I r a n . This information is from a p a m p h l e t I received, .written on the occasion of International Woman's Day. The Iranian women w e r e serious participants in the popular m o v e m e n t against the Shah in the 1978-79 period and played a m a j o r role in the m o v e m e n t ' s victory and the overthrow of the Shah's criminal regime. The impressive participation of Iranian women, alongside the men, in the popular struggle for liberation was the most genuine testimony of their equality with the country's men. The I r a n i a n w o m e n ' s aspiration a f t e r the Shah's downfall w a s to attain their rightful position in the society by aquiring fully equal rights with m e n in all the social, economic, political and cultural aspects. But a f t e r . snatching away the popular m o v e m e n t ' s leadership,. Khomeini not only refused to recognise any of these rights, but also a b r o g a t e d t h e few r i g h t s w o m e n previously enjoyed. I m m e d i a t e l y a f t e r coming to power, he o r d e r e d his gangs to attack w o m e n ' s meetings while chanting " t a k e the veil or go to hell." In this way Khomeini exposed his b a c k w a r d n a t u r e and attitude towards women. F r o m that point onwards, Khomeini and his gangs attempted to force women to r e m a i n indoors all the t i m e by putting an e m p h a s i s on their role as " m o t h e r s . " This, however, w a s only the beginning. Women were dismissed f r o m their jobs simply on the c h a r g e of "being w o m e n " and the majority of them w e r e forced to become nothing but housekeepers. In addition, Khomeine's agents constantly attacked and abused those women who were not prepared to comply with their b a c k w a r d

mo *8 of how women should behave.

Thus Khomeine's r e g i m e turned the Iranian women into second-class citizens and tried to force them out of the social scene. Despite all these pressures, however, the I r a n i a n women did not back out a n d continued the struggle for acquisition of their legitimate rights. Along this r o ^ d , t h e P e o p l e ' s M o j a h e d i n Organization of I r a n took great s t e p s for the restoration of w o m e n ' s rights by organizing women in its specific bodies; so m u c h so that the Mojahed women b e c a m e known a s the most active element in the society. Throughout the 30 months a f t e r the F e b r u a r y 11th uprising, Khomeini's a g e n t s m u r d e r e d scores of militant women in their assaults and injured h u n d r e d s more. An example of the m a s s a c r e s w a s the event in Q a e m s h a r . a town in northern Iran, when the r e g i m e ' s club-weilding t h u g s and a r m e d g u a r d s attacked the meeting of women supporters of the Mojahedin on April 2lst, 1981. Two of the girls w e r e killed and h u n d r e d s more w e r e injured. On April 27th, 1981, a demonstration w a s held to protest against these s a v a g e m u r d e r s .

Between 150- to 200,000 took p a r t in this demonstration, mostly women.

After J u n e 20th, 1981, when Khomeini's r e g i m e s t a r t e d its merciless m a s s c r e of the I r a n i a n people on a vast scale, the Iranian women once again b e c a m e the victims of the g r e a t e s t s a v a g e r i e s and crimes. Militant women who had spent y e a r s in the S h a h ' s jails and had fought his r e g i m e w e r e executed by Khomeini.

The Mojahed Mother, Massoumeh Shadmani, and the Mojaged Sisters Ashraf Rabii ( R a j a v i ) and Azar Rezaii (Khiabani) a r e the shining examples of such m a r t y r s .

Through such c r i m e s Khomeini h a s shown that essentially he follows no course other than the Shah's and he is in

Making Model

fact accomplishing the Shah's unfinished crimes. The Khomeini r e g i m e applies the most s a v a g e t o r t u r e s to women political prisoners. According to Khomeini's own religious decree, women p r i s o n e r s a r e r e g a r d e d a s his agents' personal property. the d e c r e e also allows any torture or atrocity to be applied to the women prisoners and even p e r m i t s the g u a r d s to r a p e the female detainees. Hadi G h a f f a r i , a m e m b e r of Khomeini's puppet Majlis (parliament) plays the m a j o r role in these sexual a s s a u l t s and h a s so f a r m u r d e r e d m a n y people with his own hands.

Mousavi Tabrizi, the r e g i m e s chief prosecutor, h a s recently talked about the m i n i m u m age for the execution of boys, 16 if they have attained puberty. Girls.can be executed a f t e r the age of ten, once they have attained puberty. But Khomeini's m u r d e r o u s agents do not even follow this rule a n d have so f a r executed children younger than 16 and 10. An e x a m p l e w a s F a r i b o r z Khatibi, a boy student aged only fifteen. Hundreds of young girls h a v e also been executed.

In v i e w of t h e a f o r e m e n t i o n e d evidence, we urge all progressive forces, unions, groups, and organizations, particularly those related to W o m e n ' s Liberation, both in Britain and other p a r t s of the world, to raise their cry of protest against Khomeini's c r i m i n a l regime and to support the I r a n i a n Women's Liberation Organization.

Sincerely, A m e m b e r of the International Women's Liberation Organization

Bedell She was most attentive to our suggestionsand deserves our praise a s a person who has a firm understanding of the a r t of the possible, which is w h a t d e m o c r a t i c government is about.

I would not p r e s u m e to discourage our American tradition of criticizing present or f o r m e r public officials. All I would ask is that criticism be on the basis of issues.

Criticizing Bedell as the editorial w r i t e r did can only discourage e f f o r t s to c r e a t e an issue dialogue on this c a m p u s . It could even m a k e it m o r e difficult for women to a s s u m e t h e i r r i g h t f u l role in t h e American political s y s t e m since the editorial fed r e g r e t t a b l e stereotypes.

I'm confident, however, t h a t the editorial writer w a s sincere in his beliefs and did not m e a n to imply w h a t I ' v e stated above. I hope we can r e s p e c t each other's sincerity and get on with the issues. Toward this end, I plan to submit an article on El Salvador next week.

A Two Party System Dear E d i t o r : The United S t a t e s Constitution guarentees us a r e p r e s e n t a t i v e form of government. Our r e p r e s e n t a t i v e s a r e supposed to try to solve some of our problems However, Guy Vander J a g t , our 9th District orator, h a s lost his voice.

Strange too because he certainly w a s in fine form for the previous four years, i Thank goodness, we do h a v e a two party system. The D e m o c r a t s h a v e finally awakened and found their voices. That is fortunate because for the past fifteen months the ship of s t a t e h a s lurched drunkenly on u n c h a r t e r e d supply-side seas, loaded with unequaled and unbalanced budget deficits and defense expenditures. Three policies seem to have ominated: (1) Cut and don't replace the government's role, (2) a shoot from the hip foreign policy, and (3) a policy of riding to posterity on the backs of the poor.

I thought you and your student colleagues might be interested in reading the following lettef Senator Carl Levin, P e m o c r a t of Michigan, recently sent President R e a g a n . Senator Levin invited President R e a g a n to visit Michigan so he could see and feel the e f f e c t s his policies a r e having on our state. " D e a r Mr. P r e s i d e n t : "Michigan is bleeding. Its lifeblood is being drained by a depression in the automobile and housing industries and a recession in every other s p h e r e of our economic life. The decisions t h a t you and your advisors will soon- b e m a k i n g c a n have the effect of e i t h e r reducing or increasing the h e m o r r a g i n g w e a r e experiencing. " O v e r the p a s t y e a r , I h a v e opposed many of your proposals, not because I obiect to a t t e m n t s to r e d u c e c o v e r n m e n t

spending or to cut taxes but r a t h e r b e c a u s e I cannot support policies which a r e a s inequitable and unfair as w e r e last y e a r ' s . It w a s unfair when your tax and s p e n d i n g p r o p o s a l s r e s u l t e d in a disproportionate income and geographical distribution of the net benefits. It w a s unfair with respect to income when as a recent survey found, your proposals cost $8 million to the 32 p e r c e n t of the nation's households with incomes of less t h a n $11,500; cost $10.8 billion to the 30.8 percent between $11,500 and $22,900; increased the income of the 30.7 m a k i n g between $22,900 and $47,800 by less than $1 billion, but bestowed on the 6.5 percent of the households m a k i n g in excess of $47,800 a gain of $9.2 billion. " I t w a s also inequitable, for example, to virtually eliminate job training under CETA and slash child c a r e while g r a n t i n g enormous tax relief to the wealthiest e s t a t e s in the country. In t e r m s of geography, it w a s unfair and inequitable to develop a p a c k a g e which, according to the Northeast-Midwest Coalition, reduced f e d e r a l p e r c a p i t a support to t h e Midwestern and Northeastern s t a t e s by approximately $100. It did not impact on support for the s o u t e m states, and actually increased p e r capita assistance to the western s t a t e s by approximately $45.

"If the A m e r i c a n people a r e going to be asked to " p a y the p r i c e " of an eventual economic recovery in the c u r r e n t coin of unemployment and h u m a n suffering, then t h e least w e c a n do is m a k e s u r e t h a t the p a y m e n t is equally s h a r e d . B u t it isn't. My own state, for example, r a n k s first in u n e m p l o y m e n t ; yet It r a n k s last in the r e t u r n on t h e tax dollars it sends to Washington.

Dope Goes Nuclear

i

by A. Tom Bomb Dope President Gorgon Van Villain revealed Monday that Dope has become the first liberal a r t s college to possess nuclear weapons.

Van Villain said 8 medium range "boom-boom" missiles were installed in the aging Carnegie Gymnasium under cover of its recent renovation. Two of the missiles a r e a r m e d with 1 megaton warheads, the third with nerve gas supplied by Dope's Chemistry department.

In a point press conference with the Public Intelligence Safety Service (P.I.S.S.), Van Villain justified the presence of the missiles by presenting evidence that Calcan College in Grand Rapids has become a staging ground for C o m m u n i s t a c t i v i t i e s in W e s t e r n Michigan.

"Someone's got to stop the buggers," shouted Van Villain, somewhat in a lather, "first it's Grand Rapids, then Grand Ville, why in a few hours they could be in Borculo!"

P.I.S.S. Director Bare Glenman produced startling satelite photographs of the Calcan Campus (see page 2). He also showed documents that prove Calcan enrollment has risen from a 5,000 m a n Guerilla band to a combined army, militia and reserve force of 70,000.

"Most of these personnel are housed in the women's d o r m s , " Glenman said.

Newly appointed Calcan president Bernardo Jose Lopez Bellicosa denied the P.I.S.S. report, and the allegations that he commutes to work in a Mig-21.

H o p e ' s Religion D e p a r t m e n t h a s already begun to debate whether the Dope-Calcan struggle will be the focus of crucial action In a broader East-West confrontation.

M e a n w h i l e , p l a n s for an e a r t h sheltered building a r e progressing, and Van Villain hopes soon to be able to "fight and win" a nuclear war.

Von Villain Faces Election Challenge

by Fred Upp Despite warnings f r o m college leftists to boycott last week's election, almost 70 percent of the Hope College voters cast ballots to elect a new Board of Trustees, with the leader of the strongest party expected to become the college president.

Gorgon Van Villain and the Calvlnlst Party were forced to call for new elections a f t e r losing a confidence vote over a proposal to increase the college religion course requirement to 33 credit hours. It was also partially attributed to the administrations plan to move the planned student center into the basement of Graves Hall.

Van Villain and the Calvlnlst P a r t y are expected to maintain the largest voting block on the Board of Trustees. However, a coalition Is being formed out of opposition parties that m a y b e able to oust Van Villain.

The front man In this coalition and the most likely to replace Van Villain Is Red Rolemover, presently a student at Hope.

Rolemover, who m a j o r s in campus politics, Is attempting to form the coalition out of parties which presently hold 38

percent of the seats on the board, a figure which Is expected to rise following the election results.

The Rolemover Coalition's first priority Is to defeat the religion and student center proposals. The Coalition also plans to turn radio station WACID into the most powerful signal in the state, with funding for the conversion to come from selling the executive mansion on 10th St. Rolemover promised to b ^ n g in an all new administration team, including Abbie Hoffman as Dean of Students and Milton F r e e d m a n as Director of Admissions. F r e e d m a n has promised to unveil a negative-tuition program to replace the current financial aid program and m a k e Hope College affordable for all prospective students. David Stockman is expected to serve as business m a n a g e r to closely guard every expenditure of the new administration.

F u r t h e r down the line, the Rolemover Coalition plans to offer athletic scholarships and make the Flying Dutchman Division I powerhouses in football and basketball. Rolemover commented that,

"if Hope's alumni will donate millions for a cafeteria a n d academic buildings, just imagine what they will give to have a national basketball power." Following that statement, Patrick Ewing announced that he will attend Hope next year, and the NCAA began an investigation for possible recruiting violations of the Georgetown Center.

Reached for his reaction to % the Rolemover challenge, Van Villain expressed his hope that the college voters will consider all his administration has done In the past decade. "We have built up a shelter for our young people from the vices of the world and the heretical viewpoints of professors who a r e not known as strong Christians.

The high voter turnout occured despite Leftist threats. Peace for Hope terrorists fired shots upon the polling booth outside Belch Cafeteria, forcing voters to scatter and the poll to close for over an hour. Van Villain promised to "respond to these cowardly heretics as soon as we receive more military aid from the RCA."

Dope Adopts New Symbol

by Cynic Rumble President Gorgon Van Villain today announced that the anchor. Dope's symbol since It received its charter in 1866, would no longer appear on official Hope stat i o n a r y , m u g s , or p r o p a g a n d a . " I n s t e a d , " Van Villain said, "in conjunction with our long-range plans for campus development (earth-sheltered buildings with plenty of graze p e r h a p s ? ) , we a r e adopting a quadruped of exceptional m e r i t - t h e goat. This move m a y seem ridiculous on the s u r f a c e but upon close examination we think knowledgeable persons will agree that it fits our image of the chaneins. growing Hooe community."

It was Dean Bryce Groanstone who provided the ranchor with the particulars of the move. He said the college was looking for something living to replace the cold steel and dry wood of the old Civil War e r a a n c h o r : 4 4 T h e v o t e s of o u r Democratic Centralist Administration w e r e tallied and the result was decidedly m a m m a l i a n . " Although some wanted a noble fowl like the owl or eagle, concern w a s voiced about the possibility of "laying another egg" (like the replacing the revered Columbia Cottage with Hope's own Mt. St. Helens?) and the nominations w e r e over-easily ridden. Groanstone continued, " T h e r e ensued much haggling

until President Van Villain informed the committee, set up just a f t e r the initial poll (the Committee to Adopt a Different Symbol-CADS), that the plain, ordinary goat was his favorite. Having thus completed its work, the CADS a d j o u r n e d . " Reaction to the change from the student body has, a s usual, been slight. Some said they approved because they "liked their mohair sweaters and thought it'd be nice to support a proper dress code."

Dollars For Dope Docks

by Christine Dean Dope president Gorgon Van Villain announced today that the combination earth shelter administration building and foosball parlor that the college had planned to build has been put on the backburner in lieu of an administrative yacht club to be built on the site presently occupied by the Old Smelly Gym. Van Villain said that the Pine Grove would be flooded sometime this s u m m e r to accomodate the sailing crafts.

Van Villain said that funds have been pouring In for the project, thanks to the 50 percent Increase in tuition, the 50 percent decrease in faculty salaries, and the increase in the student activity fee from $30 to $500. Van Villain said he hated to burden the students and faculty, but felt that "the only effective administrator is the happy, filthy rich administrator."

According to Van Villain, the administration submitted a request for $10.6 million to the Student Congress Appropriations Committee and the request was granted. A m e m b e r of the Appropriations Committee told the ranchorthat cutbacks would have to be made in other prog r a m s to allow for the request, but felt that the elimination of all student activities except the Pull, Nykerk, and the Student Congress salaries would probably allow them to balance the budget.

Other ideas being considered as a part of Van Villain's "Inflate Hope" program include the purchase of the U.S.S. Norway, the conversion of Dow into Roman baths for administration, and the leveling of DeWitt to provide for a p a r k to replace the pine grove. Van Villain said that tentative fund-raising plans include selling all the furniture in the d o r m s and Issuing sleeping bags and foot-lockers or requiring students to live off-campus and renting the dorm rooms at exorbitant rates.

Is Dope A College?

Dope claims to be a college. One can read this on page 459 of the Dope catalogue, where it states, "Dope is a college." One can also read there that Dope claims to have a campus, as the catalogue goes on to state, "Dope has a campus." One might reason frm this * that Dope has collegiate aspiratins, that the students and faculty I at Dope are really students and faculty.

But not so!! If Dope is so committed to being a college, where is § u the proof? Dope hasn't seen one toga party in three years. Only o u token gestures are made to provide opportunities for sexual enJ counters. And Dope doesn't even give out athletic scholarships. So J o where is the justification for the label "college?" Is anybody willU w ing to blow off a test for a kegger party? Will anybody share their 0. o crib notes with a friend? When was the last time anybody slept with a prof to get a better grade?

Dope is dedicated to being a college, but instead it smacks of a Reformed Church Vacation Bible School. Everybody toes the line and nothing ever rocks the boat.

Yes, I am pointing the finger at Dope, labelling it latent and blatant hypocrisy to call ourselves a college. Of course the idea of a college does exist here. Carnegie Hall has a couple of good video games and peace groups have been known to build rockets in the pine grove. Dope even had an honest to goodness radical here a few weeks ago.

But where are the things that really make a college a college?

Such as smoking pot during the late show, raising money for the Young Americans against the Young Americans for Fascism, throwing champagne receptions in the pine grove after graduation; in short, all the things that make college a contradiction of parental values.

So let's change!!! Let's tear down the conventions that make Dope a reformatory: exams, studying, grades, teachers, administration. More beer, more parties, more pot, more orgies, more activism-only these things can start to make Dope College what it claims to be~a college.

Looking For Abroad

by Luke Gude Censor's note: Luke is a Dope junior from some foreign place in New Jersey. A business m a j o r with a phys. ed. minor, Luke is spending this semester in Czechoslovakia. He is taking part in a newly developed foreign exchange prog r a m ; Czechoslovakia sent us two cases of Pilsner Urquel, and we sent Luke.

Having spent two y e a r s at Dope bored with accounting, all other classes, dormroom backgammon, and f r a t dances, I decided I needed a change of pace.

Besides, I hadn't met anyone who would m a r r y me.

So when I heard about this deal in Czechoslovakia, I jumped at the chance.

My parents were happy to have me leave the country (Dad said something about getting a case of Pilsner Urquel). My roommate graduated, so I didn't have anybody to live with anyway.

I heard once that in Czechoslovakia there are lots of wild and crazy gals.

Believe you m e - i t s the truth. It is just unreal how many chicks I've met. Here in Czechoslovakia you don't have to go to weekend parties or to Skiles and sit and BS with 'em. You just nab them right on the path back to the village a f t e r they've worked in the fields all day.

Yesterday I was sitting in the local pub having a few brews, rapping with this real decent chick. She started asking m e about America and what I thought about President Reagan and if I loved my country. Wow â&#x20AC;˘ intense. It's amazing how I never really thought about those things before I c a m e abroad, beyond Dope.

I told her I liked Ronald Reagan, because he's curing all the blacks and Hispanics of their welfare dependancy, and he's not letting the Commies push us around, and h e ' s a lot better than J i m m y Carter.

I told her I loved my country a lot. I never knew why until I got here. I love American for all the things we take for granted - that people in Communist countries don't have. Like color TVs. Nobody here has any color TVs, it is really a drag.

They watch soccer in black and white.

Another thing I love the USA for is freedom of religion. In Communist countries people get in trouble for going to church - so they have to stay at home and pray with the family and take care of the kids (who need parental attention since there are no televisions).

Living h e r e really m a k e s you think; I recommend for all students to go study abroad.

Seniors Sneak Out Let's Get Whimsical

by Christopher Dean In the last week or so, some people have written (probably much better than me) about their views on what people at Hope should try to do with their time here (they probably know much better than m e ) .

But I would just like to take some time and ask some questions of these so-called 4 'seniors at Hope College." ! ?! ? I thought Hope for P e a c e m e a n t something!

In the first place, how can anybody believe all that propaganda about changing things? This world wasn't meant for change. I like things just the way they are, with America n u m b e r one. Who does this pinko Doug Deuitch think he is, suggesting that we hire some stinking atheist faggot here. Doesn't he know what Hope College stands for? What we need to do is kick out all of the gay-boy liberals on the faculty and hire some 100 percent Americans!

And that Frenchy gay-boy Morier, who does he think he is telling people to get involved. People who get involved try too h a r d to change things, especially the things that made this country great, like freedom of expression. If too many people get involved and try to change things, pretty soon we won't have any freedom of speech. It's better just to not say anything and let freedom of speech alone! I believe in laissez-faire freedom - you leave it alone, it'll work itself out.

Another thing t h a t bugs m e about some people around h e r e (you know who you are, you commies) is people who a r e concerned with events that take place outside of Hope College. You should r e m e m b e r that a lot of us c a m e h e r e because we didn't want to h a v e to be bothered with things like poverty (which doesn't exist), El Salvador (which we ought to nuke) and the draft (which every patiotie redblooded, heterosexual m a l e ought to be proud to sign up for). We want to be safe in our own little world. As a m a t t e r of fact, I think we could m a k e some I m provements around here by going back to the good ole days - back to p r a y e r in the

classroom and keeping the boys in one class and the girls in another.

And I think we should stop letting people who can't pay come to Hope. I'm sick and tired of paying somebody's tuition just because his p a r e n t s a r e too lazy to go to college and be something. If a person wants to go to college he c a n darn well earn it. After all, I'm not getting a free ride. My p a r e n t s a r e paying for all of it.

In conclusion, I know I write with the coherence of a dumb third-grader, but I've been to the skill center and they've assured m e that in a couple y e a r s I might reach the high school level. So if everybody just listened to m e , Hope College would be a better world to live in.

What's to be Fun? Rating Dope

by Dandy Bourbon

The Drenthe Rimes recently Issued its first annual "Unselective Guide to Colleges," and Dope w a s one of the colleges rated. Their findings a r e most interesting and have c r e a t e d quite a stir on campus.

The Rimes saw Dope as reflective of the environment it is locate in; urbane, filthy, and l i b e r a l . 4 ' D o p e students would rather drink beer than study," the report said. Students lead i m m o r a l lives and do not attend chapel regularly. The College Administration was admonished for its decade-old lack of mandatory chapel rules . . . 44 Women a r e scantily clad and the men have long h a i r and they s m e l l , " the guide pointed out. The Rimes w a r n s prospective applicants that if they a r e good Christians they better b e very flexible or willing to do serious mission work if they choose to attend Dope.

The Rimes tells r e a d e r s that the campus of Dope is full of radical leftist organizations. A peacenik group m a k e s violent demonstrations in the Pine Grove, for instance. They mentioned t h a t

" One Dope student was quoted a s saying 4 4We simply don't want any Conservatives h e r e . " Professors were seen a s 4 4 mostly atheists and liberals . . . and a r e inaccessible to the students." Classes a r e overcrowded and geared too much toward f r e e exchanges between student and teachers.

The library was commended for its very fine collection of religion books, but even the Rimes found the building "noisy and o v e r c r o w d e d . " .

Academically, Dope was seen as placing too much emphasis on the sciences, which they labeled 4 4 anti-creationist."

The Business Department was praised, but the College w a s condemned for its lack of a program in agricultural studies.

The guide concluded that 44 Dope is like the rotten secular world that it p r e p a r e s its students for. It has forgotten its heritage and is not longer a Christian college."

6. DeWitt is the student center.

by Abe McCabe President Gorgon Van Villain has announced that the College Board of Trustees has agreed to c h a n g e the n a m e of the DeWitt Cultural Center. The onetime student center, taken over of late by the Administration, will now be called Van Villain Hall.

44 We wanted to thoroughly confuse the student body by having another building that begins with 4 Van', said the President.

44 DeWitt doesn't sound quite Dutch enough to some people. In addition, 4 Van Villain' sounds more appropos."

Since Van R a a l t e Hall burned down, there was a felt need to add m o r e 44 Vans" to the campus. Currently, w e ' r e down to Van Vleck, Van Zoeren, and Vander Werf.

The renaming of Vander Werf Hall represented the start of the 44 Van Policy." That building, the Physics-Math

structure which is located f a r away somewhere towards the lake, w a s named a f t e r Van Villain's P r e s i d e n t i a l predecessor. 44A11 of us felt that it was my turn to have a building named a f t e r m e , " President Van Villain told us.

The College also announced t h a t next fall, cottage-dwellers will be able to r e n a m e their abodes after their favorite Dutchman whose name begins with 44 Van." Rumors have circulated around Dope that Normal Incense Peale is considering adding Van to his name. If and when he does, the science building would immediately be renamed 44Van Peale Center."

Dykstra Hall will retain its n a m e , to honor the Frisian component of Dutch society. SimUarly, the name of Phelps will remain a s is, for the College wishes to retain its cosmopolitan flair.

Food For Naught Are you hungry? I am, but you know what's g r e a t about that? I live in America and we have more than enough food for everybody. So pig out people! Come on everybody! Join the p a r t y ! Let's see, what shall we have first? A Big Mac, french fries, a shake, a fishwich and apple pie for dessert. Some people say we should watch what we eat, that beef is wasteful. You know what 1 say to those people? Too bad. Hey, I paid for this food.

This is the U.S. of A., J a c k . Nobody likes to be hungry, myself included, so why should 1 suffer for those lazy natives? I figure if its true we a r e running out of food then I ' m going to eat m o r e now Just in case we run out tomorrow.

Hungry again? Why don't you go bake some cookies or m a k e some fudge b a r s .

You know what sounds good to me right now? A great, big sundae with t h r e e scoops of ice c r e a m , chocolate sauce and

tons of whipped c r e a m with nuts on top.

Hey, its almost supper time. Boy oh boy, m o m ' s making a real f e a s t : soup and salad for starters, a big, fat, Juicy steak with a baked potato Just loaded with sour c r e a m and butter, a token vegetable, and chicken too. I ' m pretty full already but wait till you see dessert. Two different kinds of pie and ice c r e a m to help it slide down. Sure beats the Philippine diet of plain rice and salted fish, but that's what m a k e s America g r e a t ! We work h a r d for our money and we deserve to eat like we want.

I have one thing to say to those world hunger people, "Get lost." Nobody likes to be depressed. If you don't like America you can leave. We don't need you kind anyway. Your group probably gets money from the d a m n commies so take a hike. And now my fellow Americans back to f o o d . . .

Cow Races to Highlight Turnip Time

< ,

> O

Equipped with fuel injection udders, hard rubber hoof wheels, and a single line exhaust canal, the cow r a c e r s of America present their 30th annual High-Power Cow Races to be held on the second Tuesday in the third week of May. The competition will be the highlight of the weeklong Turnip Time festival in Half Acre, U.S. of A. Utter Confusion is this y e a r ' s favorite as she h a s been newly stocked with a complete four stomach gastric overhaul.

Placing second last y e a r in a highly competitive field. Flora F e l d m a n , Confusion's jockeyette, feels confident she can race her cow to victory. " S h e ' s been acting like a totally new cow ever since her

tune-up," said Flora. " I think all she needed w a s a good dose of g a s . " Last y e a r ' s winner, Ho-Down Jacki, will not compete this y e a r a s she h a s been aquired by the MacDonald's franchise to be put to better use.

The r a c e ' s fastest time was set in 1974 during the Nixon administration when Richard himself entered a blackhorse cow called Watergate Follies. Driven by Harry Kisinger, Follies hit the winning m a r k w i t h a n - a m a z i n g t i m e of 2.12:52.875943022499586995049493858674720 1. After reviewing the win in la tter years however. Follies' time b e c a m e suspect of foul play. She was later disqualified a f t e r It was revealed in the photo finish that she

and Harry had secretly t a m p e r e d with the finish line tape.

Some of the m o r e r e m e m b e r a b l e moments of the r a c e s a r e awarded a s follows: MOST EMBARASSING MOMENT: 1962, F r i e d a Full-oMt ran into unexpected difficulties when she stopped short in the middle of the annual race to unload some dirt f r o m h e r exhaust canal; MOST TRAGIC FINISH: 1976, Hold-Fast Sue lost her fuel injection udder as a result of excessive jiggling during the r a c e - h e r jockey forgot to s t r a p her bag In place; MOST HONEST ATTEMPT: 1981, a young heifer by the n a m e of Gayety Georgia was presented this award when

she tried to enter in both the cow and bull competition on the grounds t h a t Anita Bryant's homosexual c r u s a d e should not have been included in last y e a r ' s rules; and finally, the BEST PERSONALITY COW: the Miss Congeniality of the cow world was given to Priscilla P e r f e c t in 1955 when she more than willingly helped her jockey stand up a f t e r kicking him In the teeth.

Starting time will begin at exactly 12:00.0001 a.m. so It you plan to be In attendence you must be appropriately on time. The r a c e must be planned In accordance to milking time. The HighPower Cow R a c e r s of America look forward to seeing you there.

Video Record

by Red Rolemover The Hope Men's video t e a m clinched first place in the LMAC last Saturday with an impressive win over Kalamazoo.

This win followed People Play arena.

The Kalamazoo m a t c h featured a school record in PAC-MAN by standout Hans Van Dean, scoring 2,894,350 in a grueling 23 hour struggle. After the match, Van Dean commented that he probably could have r a n the score higher; it he had not pulled three all-nlghters this week.

Paul DeSmith turned in a winning performance in Space Invaders and Lou VanDyke scored a career high of 341,203 in Cenapede. Hope's only losses in m a t c h play were in Defender and a 130 point squeeker in Frogger.

Hope's stunning 9-0 wipeout over last/ year's runner-up Alma m a r k e d the return

of Mark VanZinger on Berserk a f t e r serving a 10 game suspension for assaulting a game-room attendent who closed up on him in the middle of a practice match last J a n u a r y . Van Zinger responded with victories over both Alma and Kalamazoo opponents, but is not nearly a s s h a r p after being banned from all local game-rooms for the past two months. His return is especially welcome since he is also a past conference champion in Space Invaders and can serve a s a back-up to number one one m a n Bill Van Thompson.

Hope now stands 8-1 in the conference, with one game to go. However, Hope must still f a c e defending champion Olivet, the only team to defeat Hope this season in F r i d a y ' s finale. Hope's men will travel to the c o n f e r e n c e t o u r n a m e n t a s the favorite next week and a r e expected to win the conference berth in the national Tournament starting April 16.

by Eve and Dean Hope College's m a r b l e team, although dropping their first m a t c h in three years, again won the national m a r b l e t e a m championship, defeating UCLA in a 3game set. Hope's E d w a r d " F a s t E d d i e " McClellan also grabbed his second individual title, routing his opponent two games to zero in the finals.

Hope has long been a power In the national marble scene, continually travelling to the national tournament in Catseye, Montana, but they always lacked the big shooter necessary to bring home the national title. This all changed three years ago, with the arrival of " F a s t Eddie.'.'

McClellan had been a high school AllAmerican in Aggie, Ohio, and was highly recruited by all the biggies, but chose Hope because he " w a n t e d to wear wooden shoes and grow tulips without seeming out of place." His arrival signalled the beginning of D u t c h d o m i n a n c e In marbles. " F a s t E d d i e " has been defeated only once in his college career, falling In the Individual category of the national finals as a freshman. He complained of a sprained thumb in this m a t c h / a p p a r e n t l y suffered in the t e a m finals, which Hope clinched for the first time.

F a r from being the only shooter on the Dutch team, Hope features three other men capable of competing at the national level. Established as the number two man on the Dutch roster is George "Big T h u m b " VanSmith, a local sophomore boy whose main claim to f a m e is breaking a steelie in half on his first shot as a collegian.

Food forThought

by Rowland D. Van Es, Jr. Students in the Netherlands, East and West Germany, and other parts of Europe have launched a Peace Offensive. The movement has now crossed the Atlantic and is gaining strength across this country. Various congressmen, civic leaders, pastors, students, housewives, and others have adopted the idea of a " f r e e z e " on nuclear weapons as the rallying point of the Peace Movement of the '80s.

People are'finally waking up to the terror of nuclear war and the insanity of the nuclear a r m s race. They are shouting, "Enough is enough!" They a r e asking their leaders, "What differance does it make if we have 100 or 200 submarines?

Who cares If we can blow up the world only 10 and not 15 t i m e s ? " A Newsweek poll showed that 60 percent support the general idea of a freeze, although only 43 percent were a w a r e of the freeze drive.

Most people still have only a dim awareness of what a nuclear war would mean. Most studies estimate that 100 million Americans would die In a general nuclear exchange. A single modern strategic weapon has one million times the yield of the explosive bombs used in WWII and one hundred to one thousand times the yield of the bombs which destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

This is the effect of a one megaton bomb dropped on a major city:

Ground zero to 3 miles - All multistory concrete buildings destroyed in a circle of almost total destruction.

Ground zero to 5 miles - S p o n t a n e o u s ig-

nition of clothing and household combustibles.

Ground zero to 9 miles • S e v e r e d a m a g e

to ordinary f r a m e houses and second degree bums to exposed individuals.

Beyond these effects there is the danger from the fallout which could potentially cover an area of 500 square miles with deadly radiation. Th6re would be significant health hazards out to an area of 4,000 square miles. The U.S. currently has 10,000 s t r a t e g i c w a r h e a d s and the U.S.S.R. will soon have as many. A single Poseidon sub has 160 independently targetable nuclear warheads with the ability of causing 30 million fatalities in Russia.

Even a limited exchange would inflict so many casualties that no president could resist the pressure to retaliate as long as he h a s any weapons at his disposal. This is the folly of the Nuclear Utllitary Target Selection theorists or the NUTS. These people think limited nuclear war is possible, that one side may "win" a nuclear exchange. What the NUTS don't seem to realize is that this is a MAD w o r l d , . a world of Mutual Assured Destruction. This is true for two reasons; the d e s t r u c t i v e n a t u r e of n u c l e a r weapons and the inevitability of excalation.

An important article in Foreign Policy (winter 81-82) concluded that, "In sum, we are fated to live in a MAD world. This is inherent in the tremendous power of nuclear weapons, the size of nuclear stockpiles, the colateral d a m a g e associated with the use of nuclear weapons against military targets, the technical limitations on strategic air defense, and the uncertainties involved in efforts to control the escalation of nuclear war . . . The principle hope at this time will not be found in seeking NUTS doctrines that ignore the MAD realities but rather in recognizing the nuclear war for what it is and seeking to make it more stable and less dangerous."

It is my belief that while the nuclear freeze proposal is not enough, it is a step in the right direction. We cannot afford to waste any more money on weapons we don't need. We must move beyond trading rhetoric with the U.S.S.R. and begin serious negotiation for a freeze first and mutual reductions second. The U.S. must be the leader in assuring the survival of the human race.

by Leslie Ortquist This year's dance concert was quite well received by an audience with high expectations of Hope's dance department Weeks before the production dates of April 2 and 3. 1982. posters graced with a sleek, lithe, stylized figure announcing "Dance 8" prompted enthusiasts to reserve tickets for the college" s annual performance by Hope students and this year's guest artists Jackie Raven and Neil Applebaum. Variety marked the hour and a half long production, it was a melting pot for music and dance differing in style and e r a : classical ballet.

Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty Ballet Suite, flashy tap dancing by the guests, big band music of the Duke Ellington and Count Basie orchestras, expressive modern dance, and progressive electronic music. Although there were weaknesses--the variety precluded a sense of cohesiveness. the program consisted of a disproportinately large amount of tap. and. due to a lack of polish, the ballet suite opened the program slowly-overall Saturday evening s performance was enjoyable; it evidenced skill and hard work, featuring several fine numbers.

The guests dazzled the audience with their synchronization and s t a m i n a Emerging for their first number suited in simple ensembles of red and black.

Raven and Applebaum tapped with facility "The Buf Suite." a three dance set choreographed last year by Brenda Bufalino to familiar old tunes such as "Singing in the Rain."

The Suite was immediately followed by a large and jubilant tap number. "One

O'Clock J u m p . " which called to mind the " c a r e f r e e '50s" as students shuffled and whirled in appropriate garb- tapered wool skirts and bobby socks, tailored suits, and. of course, cheerleading outfits and letter sweaters. Blended into the ending was a softshoe performance by Kevin Bailey and Julie Reinhardt to rich. romantic, nearly shmultzy tones of sax music characteristic of the time period.

The second half of the program sprang to life with " P r i m a l S c r e a m , " a jazz dance choreographed by Ken Tepper to music by Maynard Ferguson. With a sens u a l i t y and r o u g h n e s s s u g g e s t i n g primitive movement and instinct, three men and five women executed the dance as the audience watched, engrossed The apparent strength, agility, and sup pleness of the eight were enhanced by stunning costumes-also of red and black, with left a r m s and right legs left exposed creating lines which accented the ar ticulate choreography.

After four additional tap numbers by the guests, the concert was concluded with flair-or rather Crayola. "A Suite of Crayons," four modern dance pieces choreographed by Maxine DeBruyn, was as brilliant as a joyous drawing by a precocious five-year-old Its delightful, playful spirit was interspersed with robot-like and mechanical as well as fluid movement as the dancers in their variously colored bright leotards in teracted, slicing a r m s and legs through space, melting, blending, mixing, and churning together like human drawing tools. It was a rich and energetic finale to a delightful dance performance

NASA's Up In The Air Future

w

O < 0* byJeffBetwick

Today's economic p r o b l e m s p l a g u e businessmen, students, corporations a n d especially the F e d e r a l Governm e n t . P r e s i d e n t R e a g a n ' s a t t e m p t s to combat these p r o b l e m s h a v e brought every federally financed p r o g r a m u n d e r close scrutiny. F r o m f e d e r a l lunch prog r a m s to welfare, f r o m student loans to foreign aid, e v e r y p r o g r a m ' s costs, benefits and goals a r e being examined.The National Aeronautical and S p a c e Administration (NASA) is one such prog r a m . The United S t a t e ' s space, exploration p r o g r a m can b e evaluated by examining the costs relative to the benefits of the p r o g r a m ; and since the benefits of ' space exploration a r e significant and unique, NASA's place within the f e d e r a l budget d e s e r v e s special consideratrion from today's g o v e r n m e n t leaders.

Indeed, opponents of the s p a c e prog r a m will s a y t h e costs of the space p r o - , g r a m a r e staggering. They will mention that between 1959 and 1969 NASA spent 35 billion doUars. In 1979 NASA's budget w a s 4.2 billion and in 1980 this figure rose to 4.9 billion federal dollars. Also the Voyager p r o g r a m cost 300 million dollars a n d A m e r i c a ' s first s p a c e shuttle cost Uncle Sam a total of 10 billion dollars f r o m conception to first flight. T h e s e figures c e r tainly do s e e m i m m e n s e .

However, when these costs a r e viewed in their proper perspectives their r e a l significance c o m e s into focus. Do you know how m u c h money you spend on NASA annually? $100? $200? $500? No, Americans spend about $20 p e r person annually on NASA; they also spend $804 p e r person annually on Health and H u m a n Services (HHS), $524 on defense, $46 on the support of retired military personnel, $30 on the food s t a m p p r o g r a m , and $20 on

electronic video g a m e s . As these figures clearly indicate, NASA's budget is dwarfed by the total federal budget and by other g o v e r n m e n t p r o g r a m budgets.

NASA's budgets in 1979 and 1980 w e r e each less than 1 percent of the total federal budgets of those y e a r s . Meanwhile the federal g o v e r n m e n t spends 37 percent of its revenues on HHS, 23 percent on defense, 12 percent on the interest on the public debt, and 5.7 p e r c e n t on t h e salaries of military personnel. Obviously the costs of the space p r o g r a m a r e a relatively s m a l l p a r t of the f e d e r a l budget and these costs a r c very r e a s o n a b l e when viewed in their proper perspectives.

Still, t h e r e a r e those who will contend that the 4.9 billion doUars NASA spends could be put to b e t t e r u s e elsewhere. They will mention t h a t m a n y U.S. citizens go hungry, homeless and Jobless while a s t r o n a u t s g a l a v a n t about h u n d r e d s of miles above the e a r t h ' s s u r f a c e in spaceships. They believe t h a t this money spent on s p a c e exploration should go to welfare p r o g r a m s , education p r o g r a m s or public health services.There a r e also those who believe the U.S. should forget NASA and devote m o r e money to military defense o r to reducing the public deficit.

These a r e certainly worthy concerns; however, while to divert f u n d s f r o m the s p a c e p r o g r a m would obviously be a severe blow to technological advancement, the growth of scientific knowledge, and the practical benefits of s p a c e exploration, it would not significantly add to the budgets of social or d e f e n s e prog r a m s , nor would it greatly r e d u c e the public debt. A 4.9 billion dollar i n c r e a s e in the budget of the HHS would result in a 2.3 percent i n c r e a s e in their spending; the

s a m e dollar i n c r e a s e in the defense budget would amount to a 3.6 p e r c e n t budget increase, and 4.9 billion dollars applied to the nation's debt would only inc r e a s e the money spent on that debt by 8 p e r c e n t . T h u s , s it h a r d l y s e e m s reasonable t h a t the U.S. should a b a n d o n the technological and scientific benefits for such insignificant i n c r e a s e s in other government p r o g r a m s .

Now space is the door to the f u t u r e , and yet t h e r e exists the c h a n c e t h a t the U.S.'s shortsighted l e a d e r s will close t h a t door by finding the s p a c e p r o g r a m to b e a n expendable luxury. T h e s e l e a d e r s m u s t b e m a d e to u n d e r s t a n d that technological capabilites resulting f r o m basic scientific r e s e a r c h h a v e been the key to m a n ' s h u m a n progress and, on a national scale, to world leadership.- Recall that when Man w a s confined to land, those with s t r o n g e r h o r s e s a n d longer s p e a r s dominated the world. When M a n ' s world expanded to include the sea, the Spanish and British with their t r e m e n d u o u s shipbuilding and s e a f a r i n g capabilities led the world. When m a n finally e n t e r e d the air, the U.S. and G r e a t Britain b e c a m e the world's technological pioneers and thus the world leaders. Now m a n is entering the new environment of s p a c e and U.S. leaders m u s t r e a l i z e that m o r e t h a n the 1983 budget Is at stake. T h e U.S.'s contributions toward h u m a n p r o g r e s s and our f u t u r e l e a d e r s h i p capabilities a r e also being determined. Granted, It Is Impossible to be sure w h e r e this h u m a n p r o g r e s s will t a k e us; s p a c e exploration m a y lead to t h e ultimate solutions of m a n y of m a n ' s p r o b l e m s on e a r t h today, and It m a y not.

The Important thing Is that our c o u n t r y ' s l e a d e r s recognize the Importance of the exploration of t o d a y ' s frontier, and that they not stifle the U.S.'s innovative spirit or A m e r i c a ' s potential for f u t u r e world leadership.

Therefore, the tangible benefits of s p a c e exploration applicable today and the f u t u r e benefits of technological expansion easily justify NASA's m e a g e r budget. This portion of federal spending, then. Is unique b e c a u s e It Is a p a r t of the federal budget spent not only on r e s e a r c h for I m m e d i a t e palpable benefits, but also invested in the f u t u r e technology a n d In the f u t u r e of A m e r i c a . It Is for this r e a s o n that NASA's budget m e r i t s the special considerations of our g o v e r n m e n t l e a d e r s when it is e v a l u a t e d In the context of P r e s i d e n t R e a g a n ' s budget reductions.

, When one considers the overall benefits of the s p a c e p r o g r a m , this notion becomes even m o r e unreasonable, for the benefits of NASA's work in. space have been, a r e , a n d p r o m i s e to continue to be Immense. Already s p a c e exploration has led the U.S. to t r e m e n d u o u s a d v a n c e s in the u n d e r s t a n d i n g of the origins of the e a r t h and solar s y s t e m , the n a t u r e of space, a n d the e a r t h ' s atmosphere, weather, a n d r e s o u r c e s . In only 20 years, s p a c e exploration h a s completely revolutionized t h e fields of navigation and communications: today m u c h sea and air navigation Is done through the use of e a r t h orbiting sateUites; satellites also b e a m TV, radio, a n d telephone signals around t h e world in seconds. In addition, today's satellites h a v e the capability to b e a m solar power, a clean energy source, to e a r t h . In the f u t u r e A m e r i c a ' s space shuttles p r o m i s e to b e ideal multipurpose scientific l a b o r a t o r i e s w h e r e Man will be able to conduct countless useful zero gravity e x p e r i m e n t s , and m a k e clearer glasses, s t r o n g e r alloys, and even new drugs. T h e shuttle c a n also be used for military purposes, to launch and service satellites a n d other s p a c e equipment, to build s p a c e stations,, and even to build f u t u r e s p a c e colonies. T h e s p a c e prog r a m , then, p r o d u c e s a multitude of useful tangible benefits.

The most significant and revolutionary benefits, however, m a y not even be in view yet. S p a c e Is a new scientific frontier and without a historical perspective it is difficult to e s t i m a t e the ultimate benefits of such a p r o g r a m ; nevertheless U.S. space exploration m u s t be continued in the i n t e r e s t s of basic scientific research, of a m o r e complete understanding of our universe, a n d of maintaining the U.S.'s position a s a world leader.

Throughout the y e a r s ba3ic scientific research a n d p e r s e v e r a n c e h a v e expanded M a n ' s knowledge and capablities in ways that h e h a d n e v e r d r e a m e d of: Orvlle and Wilbur Wright, Albert Einstien, T h o m a s A.

Obviously scientific, r e s e a r c h h a s held, and continues to hold, the key to countless lifechanging, world-shocking discoveries and capabilities. The new frontier for this scientific s t u d y Is space.

The Saturday Night Special: Blow-Up

610 AM FM c a b l e 103.3

by Dick Hoekstra Tom Howard's new album 4 'Danger In Loving You" on the NewPax label Is his second contemporary Christian music album. Howard's last album, the 1977 Solid Rock release "View From The Bridge," introduced an extraordinary musician to the Christian field. Christian musicians usually don't have the training or abilities of a Tom Howard. Tom studied classical piano and music theory at the University of Minnesota. But If you think Tom's albums are classical, you're wrong. Tom has acquired a respect for the eternal worth of music from his classical education, sensitivity from his folk music participation as a teenager, respect for music proficiency from the Jazz influence he encountered in studio and session work, and his capacity to make music accessible from his rock experience in Rise and Shine and other groups.

Terry Taylor of the Christian band Daniel Amos co-produced the album with Howard. The album's production is among the finest that Christian music has to offer. The album opens with the Instrumental "Horizon" which highlights Tom's fancy keyboard arrangments.

"House of the F a t h e r " is a bouncy catchy light rocker about church. "Passing in the Night" is next: "reaching out a hand, we can touch them with the love we've been receiving." "Run The R a c e " comes straight from the words of Paul in the Bi-

by Tom Andrews What a r e all these people talking about? was an oft-asked question at cocktail parties in the sixties whenever the film Bk>w-Up was mentioned. With the exception of Resnais' Last Year at Marlenbad, perhaps no film has been m o r e perplexing and caused more critical and popular controversy than Blow-Up, and, even more so than Marelnbad, Blow-Up became an extraordinary social phenomenon. One was considered a cultural non-entity until one had seen Blow-Up. To love it was fine; to hate It, also, was fine: but not seeing it was cultural sacrilege. What mattered was

not necessarily what side you were on, but taking up the fight.

I point this out because Blow-Up d i r e c t e d by o n e of t h e g r e a t s , Michelangelo Antonioni (and this week's Saturday Night Special film, to be shown in Graves at 7:30 p.m.), has about It the stature of much of modern a r t : few understand it, many are willing to spew away at incredible length about it. The chasm of the critical dialectic it has created is remarkable, a chasm large enough perhaps to make one feel that both sides are groping, mainly In the dark.

Philharmonic Orchestra Will Perform The Hague Philharmonic Orchestra will present a concert Tuesday, April 20 under the Joint sponsorship of Calvin and Hope Colleges.

The concert by the 114-member orchestra will be presented in the Fine Arts Center auditorium on the campus of Calvin College in Grand Rapids at 8:15 p.m.

The concert is one of the celebrated events sponsored by the colleges to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the establishment of the diplomatic relations between the Netherlands and the United

States.

Founded In 1904, the Hague Philharmonic Orchestra Is one of the oldest symphonls ensembles In Holland. Its director since 1960 has been Hans Vonk.

The sale of tickets to the general public will begin April 1 at both colleges. There presently Is an effort underway to secure patrons and sponsors for the event. Information on the patron-sponsor program is available from Dr. Jacob E. Nyenhuis, dean for the a r t s and humanities at Hope College, and Robert Struyk, manager of the Fine Arts Center at Calvin.

(continued on p. 1*9)

What, then, a r e they talking about?

Blow-Up has a s its hero a young fashion photographer who lives in London. He is a " m a d " member of the counter-culture, and the film follows him through "swing" London, a la pot parties and fashion models and in general the hip and the sexy. The photographer, Thomas (played

by David Hemming), is enjoying his professional success when he believes he has stumbled across a murder in one of his photographs. Thus, a problem a r i s e s how to find out whether or not the murder is imaginary?--whlch inspires Thomas to make a series of blow-ups of the picture in question. This ambiguity, this disparity between the imaginative and the real, between personal experience and public opinion, is never resolved.

Whatever also can be said about it, Blow-Up is one of the handful of films to emerge in the last twenty years that altered the understanding of its medium.

Antonioni's use of images in this film created an ambiguity, a tension (the mystery of "illusion and reality") that have since come to be expected from "serious film".

Which, of course, is precisely the point of controversy. To some, ambiguity and the questioning of illusion and reality is nothing m o r e than confusion and shallowness, the middlebrow's easy definition of " d e p t h " ; to others, it indeed spells, to the letter, profundity. Rather than advocate a position here, I would remind us that both views refering to one and the same movie; and If for no other reason than to see who's right. It's an Important movie to see. Besides, one simply wants to find out what all these people are

Hope College students will present the results of their research in biology, geology, psychology, chemistry, physics and mathematics on Thursday, April 8 at this year's Sigma Xi Science Symposium, The topics will range from Industrial control to chemical synthesis to the reproduction of Gallinules.

At Hope College an Important part of the science curriculum is the experience of working in research laboratories and the symposium papers represent the synthesis of each student's work. Many of the results have been presented at state or national meetings and the symposium will give the Hope community the chance to see the variety of work being done by our students.

To conclude the symposium, Dr. William Kerr of the University of Michigan's Nuclear Enginering Department will discuss the problem of government responsibility for allocating or expending resources to protect the health and safety of the public in a lecture 4 4 How Safe is Safe Enough.", Dr. Kerr's research Interests have Included nuclear reactor design and most recently the determination of the probability of reac% tor failures.

The students' papers will start at 1 PM in rooms 206 and 207 of Vander Werf Hall and Dr. Kerr's talk will be at 4 PM in Peale Science Center room 050.

The public is invited to attend any of the talks.

System

They v disproportionately benefit the wealthiest members of society and must be repealed before we consider asking for further sacrifice from the middle and low-income groups. Also, continued reductions for country club dues, for example, are unconscionable at a time when the elderly, the ill, the hungry and the unemployed are being asked to m a k e do with less.

4) Efforts to reduce the deficit should focus on at least a balance between spending and revenues. Even counting the proposed excise taxes, indications suggest that you would cut three times more in spending than you would add in revenues. Surely a more equitable middle ground can be found, one which would have the effect of preserving vitally needed programs while still bringing the deficit below $100 million. Similarly, any cuts which are made ought to be shared by defense and non-defense programs.

While increases in certain a r e a s of defense spending are desirable, this country will not be destroyed if some increases are stretched over a longer period of time-but some of its citizens and communities may well be destroyed if reductions in social programs are concentrated in a time f r a m e characterized by. high unemployment and declining economic growth.

5)There are savings which can be achieved through reforms In federal practices. Some would claim that the budget could still be balanced by eliminating waste and fraud and abuse In federal programs. I doubt that we could get that much money, but there are certainly significant sums which could be realized. For example, increasing com-

petiton in delense procurement procedures could save billions without affecting our military strength; cuts in spending on consultants, studies, and travel could also save billions without affecting needed services; and just requiring prompt collection of debts owed the federal government would raise billions.

Mr. President, these five suggestions are not an exhaustive remedy for the economic illness this nation faces. But it is an outline for a program which would recognize the very real and very human needs of our people. We cannot afford, Mr. President, to allow the kind of suffering I have seen in Michigan to continue; we cannot afford to simply wait for better times, we cannot accept the conclusion that entire states and regions of this nation are doomed. We can build a better future and a more acceptable present if we a r e willing to work together to achieve the goals of economic and human growth.

As part of that effort. I urge you to visit Michigan. The best way of understanding the economic disaster which has befallen us here is to personally visit, meet Michigan's people and its leaders and to personally familiarize yourself with the mood as well as the economy of the state.

Men's Baseball Coach J i m Bultman's Flying Dutchmen started their regular season venture last week by splitting a doubleheader with Ferris State. Hope took the first g a m e by a 4-3 nip while they drastically fell in the night cap by a 21-5 romp.

Greg Heeres was credited for the Dutchmen first home 1982 season win as he only gave up three hits, walked five and struck out six in going the distance.

Ed Stinson, on the other hand, was f^iven the loss in the second event as a f t e r the third inning he was taken out with the score a 7-0. No other Hope pitcher could seem to help bring the Dutchmen out of their deficit so Hope fell d e e p e r .

Sophomores Steve LaRue, Mike Israels, and Dan Gibson were all brought in for relief in the remaining four innings but each gave up five, four and five r u n s respectively.

Jim VandeGuchte had the most hits on the day with a single, double, and powerful homerun. Captain Jack VanderMaas and Mark Thompson each followed with two hits each- VanderMaas with two singles and Thompson with two doubles.

Sophomore Dave N u m m i k o s k i is credited with bringing in the g a m e winning run for the first encounter as he drove home Rob Baker on a right field line drive. Jeff Shipman brought in the first Hope runs on a third inning double.

Before this regular season opener, the Flying Dutchmen returned from their southern tour with a 2-9 record as they defeated Berea College. Ky (3-1) and Covenant College, Tenn. (11-0).

Senior VanderMaas occupies much of the baseball single season record book as he is credited with most hits, most total bases, and the fourth best Dutchmen with a batting average of .383. For his c a r e e r VanderMaas is also fourth with an

WTAS ble about the prize of eternal life that awaits those who make it through the race of life. The song features horns and multiple keyboards. "This Quiet P l a c e " starts off side two softly. "Strong Love" features Jessy Dixon on backup vocals for a soul feel to the song. "Serious Occupation of F i s h " is an ironic title because this cut is not serious in the least.

The next tune, "Power P l a y , " focuses on the problem of abuse of power not only in churches and with Christians, but also In the everyday world. The album closes with the title tune "Danger In Loving You," a piano flaired, thought-provoking tune which highlights Howard's effective voice saying "I could never choose to live so safely and content." Tom Howard waited four years to come out with his second album, and this gem was well worth thewaiit. ...,..

The Flying Dutch softhall team and Coach Anne Irwin finished their spring trip by being victorious In just three of their ten outings. Their offlcal record will stand at 2-0 however since the victory and defeat to Division III shall only be counted.

Officially Hope defeated Barrlngton College of Rhode Island twice with scores of 12-6 and 2-1.

Captains F a y e Berens and Jody Foy will lead this y e a r ' s Dutch to the possibility of recapturing their state title. The women ended league standings last y e a r at the .500 mark with a 5-5* MIAA record and a 15-15 overall.

Senior Berens has been a three time All-State team winner and holds most of the records in the book. Under career records Berens is responsible for having the best average, most hits, most singles, most doubles, most triples, most total bases, and most RBI's records.

Senior Foy had a perfect fielding average last y e a r (1.00) and stole the most basses. She was second to Berens with a .272 batting average.

The Flying Dutch were scheduled to play their first regular season g a m e last Saturday and a f t e r making It all the way to Siena Heights to compete, the women were turned back on account of the weather. The trip lasted from 6 am to 9 pm because of the road conditions during the trip.

Other returning letterwinners are Lynn DeBruyn, Liz Grimes, Lisa Klaasen, Robin Pfelffer, Suzie Tague and Sue Van Kley.

The women will try again at their next game Saturday, at home, with Alma.

Under the direction of new head coach Bill Japinga, the men's tennis team returned from their spring excursion with a record which will probably be improved upon once MI A A play gets underway. The Flying Dutchmen ended the spring trip with a 1-4 record with their only win coming from a narrow 5-4 victory over the University of North Alabama.

The men finished second last year in the league standing under the long time ruler of MIAA tennis play, Kalamazoo.

This year's captain is senior Paul Boersma who had the best singles record for the 1981 season (15-8). Junior Mark Johnson, a two-time letter winner, followed behind Boersma with a 14-9 seasonal record.

Other returnees include sophomore Derrick Velarde, junior Paul Lubbers, and sophomore Jeff Plomers. Junior Jim Zandee rejoins the team after taking-last year off.

The rest of the team is m a d e up of freshman. Chris B a j e m ^ , Jim Engbers, Jeff Harlow, Randy Smith, and Steve Vaughn will all try to attribute success to Hope.

The men's team will play Monday at Aquinas.

Like the men's tennis team, the women are under the direction of a new tennis coach. Tanya Shire has taken the helm of the Flying Dutch who returned from their spring tour with an even 3-3 record.

The others include school 3000 record-holder Wendy Schoenmaker, Nancy Ritchie, Carla Johnson, Mary Ann Marron, Missy Knopf, freshman Deb Shy and a few others. ~ This team appears to be incredibly flexible and deep, both of which should help in the championship drive. They have four home meets down at the Van Raalte Field complex. At press time, it looked like the April 7 opener vs. Alma would be buried under an avalanche of snow.

Kaehler, Sandy Vanderbilt and a host of others add to the group; all are relatively interchangeable between the 100 and 400 meter distances. Before the season is over the coaches can expect to do a lot of shuffling...and see a lot of points.

Miknis and Dekerd were among the MIAA's finest in the long jump last year.

Newcomers Lorrie VandeGrist and Vanderbilt can excel in both the long jump and the high jump. But the t e a m ' s top high jumper is Uli Peinelt, who's already broken the school record with a leap of 5-6.

Several of the top women in the weight events are gone, but powerful Sue Williams remains. She holds the school record in the discus and is also capable shot putter and spear chucker. Vande Grift also could help in these events.

J a n e Shermer and Northuis could be among the league's best in the 800 meter.

Northuis has already run a 2:31 (she had a 2:20 late last season.)

Another interchangeable group is the 1500-3000-5000 meter runners. A number of women will likely be trying all three at one time or another this season. The
