Under Milkwood: A World Where Spring Exists

Philharmonic Celebrates Bicentennial A concert by the Hague Philharmonic Orchestra on Tuesday, April 20 will kick off the western Michigan celebration of the b i c e n t e n n i a l a n n i v e r s a r y of diplomatic relations between the United States and the Netherlands.

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

On April 19, the United States and the Netherlands will celebrate the 200th ann i v e r s a r y of continuous peaceful diplomatic relations between the countries. This is the longest period of unbroken relations which either nation has enjoyed throughout its history.

To mark this unique international relationship, the two governments are jointly celebrating the bicentennial of their official relations. High-quality exchanges and conferences in the two countries will highlight the Bicentennial observance.

These exchanges will be aimed at the

fields of the arts, history, science, economy, trade, finance, defense and environment.

The concert is under the joint sponsorship of Calvin College and Hope College.

Tickets may be obtained at the Hope College music department office and the Calvin College Fine Arts Center, Room F114.

14 A virtuoso ensemble,' 1 wrote The New York Times after two concerts by The Hague Philharmonic Orchestra in Carnegie Hall. This characterizes the international standard of this 114-member Dutch orchestra whose home is in The Hague, the official residence of Her Majesty Queen Beatrix, hence its name Residentie Orkest.

One of the oldest symphonic ensembles in Holland, the Hague Philharmonic Orchestra was founded in 1904 and has grown from a municipal music ensemble into an internationally renowned or-

chestra. The orchestra has been attended by some of the world's greatest conductors and soloists, including Toscanini, Stokowsky, Bernstein, Boulez, Thibaud, Rubinstein, Menuhin and Sutherland.

The orchestra was raised to its present international standing by Willem van Otterloo, permanent conductor from 19491974. He was followed by French conductor, Jean Martinon, who held the post until his untimely death in 1976, at which time Ferdinand Leitner took the baton.

Continuing the line of great principal conductors is Hans Vonk, who assumed the post in 1980.

As the official orchestra of the Royal Residence, the Hague Philharmonic Orchestra has the honor to perform for the royal and presidential guests of Her Majesty the Queen and the Dutch government.

Vonk was bom in Amsterdam in 1942.

In 1966 he was aooointed conductor of the

Netherlands National Ballet, and three years later became Bernard Haitink's associate conductor with the Concertgebouw Orchestra. He has been conductor of the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra. His American debut was with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra in 1974 where he has returned on numerous occasions. He has also conducted the Boston Symphony.

Concertmaster of the orchestra is Russian-born Zino Vinnikov. During the 70's he was concertmaster of the Leningrad Philharmonic. He and his family migrated to Holland in 1979 at which time h e became concertmaster of the Hague Philharmonic.

The program will open with Time Machin by Ketting, followed by Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto. After intenpission the Philharmonic will perform Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 5, Op. 64, in E minor.

Poetic Duet Performs Two poets, Earnest Sandeen and Gary Zebrun, will read from their works tonight at 8 p.m. in the Van Zoeren Room of Van Zoeren library.

Sandeen, professor E m e r i t u s of English at the University of Notre Dame, was first published in the New Yorker in 1938. At Notre Dame since 1946, be has published four books of poetry, and individual poems in periodicals including Poetry, The New Republic, and The Iowa Review.'

Zebrun, professor of English at the University of Michigan, studied under Sandeen at Notre Dame, and has published several poems in such Journals as The American Scholar, Commonwealth, and The New Republic.

The pair has done poetry readings together a few times before - at Brown University and the University o( Michigan.

Zebrun made a way for himself paved with scholarships, fellowships and awards for his poetry through Notre Dame (B.A., 1976) and Brown University (M.F.A., 1981). He speaks French, Russian, and Greek and has written on various subjects for the New York Times.

Recently he won a Yaddo FeUowship from the National Endowment for the Arts.

The reading is sponsored by the English department.

Faculty will also be invited to the party, allowing soon-to-be graduates to bid farewell both to dorm and cottage comrades and those they met in the classroom.

The two wish to remain anonymous, for they want the party to be seen as "seniors doing It for seniors."

Boulton to Publish Book A new book by Hope College religion professor Wayne G. Boulton, Is Legalism a Heresy? The Legacy of the Pharisees in Christian Ethics, will be published in May

by Paullst Press. Boulton is an associate professor of religion at Hope and a specialist in social ethics.

Attacks of "legalism" in the Christian church often Ignore, misunderstand or deliberately misrepresent Jewish thought and life, particularly the tradition of the Pharisees, according to Prof. Boulton.

"Such attacks have ancient roots, and all too easily are redirected against the Jewish community as a whole," he said. . - 1 M It

An Anchor in History One Year Ago - The Campus Life Board voted to make the newly renovated "quiet" dorm Voorhees Hall a co-ed facility. Director of Placement Myra Zuverlnk announced her intention to resign after fifteen years at Hope. An anchor poll found that 58 percent of those questioned said they would not remain in the Western Michigan area after graduation. ^ Five Years Ago - A national survey showed that college costs increased by over 4 percent from 1976 to 1977. Michigan Senator Robert P. Griffin vowed to launch a campaign to prevent the National Direct Student Loan program from becoming extinct. Former Calvin standout Greg Afman was named Junior Varsity basketball coach.

Ten Years Ago - Two Hope trustees donated $1 million to the Build Hope campaign, a drive with a goal of over eight million dollars, to be used to build an academic science center, among other things. A small contingent of Hope students succeeded In closing down the Holland army-navy recruiting center in protest of U.8. involvement in South Vietnam. The Knickerbocker fraternity vowed to fight Its forced removal from what would later become Llchty Hall.

Fifteen Years Ago - The Hope College administration held firm its stand on compulsory chapel attendance, requiring that students turn in attendance slips.

Three hundred students gathered in the Pine Grove to participate in a "teach-in" in protest of American Involvement in Vietnam. The "teach-in" was part of a national movement to close down the nation's universities to allow them to focus on the problem of the Vietnam War . The Student Senate approved a measure that would designate the dining room and the Juliana room of Durfee Hall as a temporary student center (sound familiar?).

Twenty Years Ago - The college announced plans to raze cottages on 13th Street to make way for a new men's dormitory (it later became the frat complex). D. Ivan Dykstra gave the first ever "Last Chance" talk at Hope. The tennis team beat Kalamazoo in a dual meet, the first dual meet the Hornets had lost in 26 years.

The book explores a wide variety of ethical topics from a Jewish Christian perspective. With chapters on worship, government, peacemaking, the family, homosexuality and economic justice, Boulton argues that the Pharisees represent a significant and long-neglected resource for Christian social ethics.

Sculpture Exhibit to be Featured developing the vocabulary of large metal sculpture, a language which constitutes the basis of much subsequent art. In short, these are major figures In the art of the last half of this century; their credibility ought to be held in some regard when approaching the work.

Please take the time to look at these pieces, walk around them and see how they change. This sculpture has something in it for anyone who is willing to look; the more you invest in appreciating a piece the more you will learn to enjoy It. Being around art, learning to like art, is a matter of building rapport; don't expect to like It without trying.

Some art Is like the politician who reaches out with that practiced warmth, nearly taking your hand out of your pocket to shake It. More often though, art requires something from the viewer, a willingness to participate and Initiate dialogue. The sculpture which will be on our campus falls Into both categories, some of them draw you In; they are Immediately magnetic. Other pieces may require a bit more work, don't write it offlet It grow on you. .

Featured on the program will be a performance of Gloria for chorus, brass, percussion and organ by the English composer John Rutter. This work will be sung by the Hope College chorus and members of the College's Chapel choir, conducted

Nordholt to Visit Hope

by Mark Holmes Beginning on the 17th of this month, Hope's campus will be the sight of a major traveling sculpture exhibit. The "American Eight" was developed by the Construct Gallery of Chicago, and Is funded by Interpace Corporation, which Is the parent corporation for Holland's Hart and Cooley Manufacturing. This Is the sort of art extravaganza which may become Increasingly rare if it were not for the generosity and foresight of the new corporate patrons such as Interpace. With the Reagan administration's recent reassessment of funding for the National Endowment for the Arts, larger corporations will be playing a more vital role in the support of the Arts. Interpace and Hart and Cooley deserve applause from the Hope-Holland community for their willingness to take on this committment.

Our gratitude will be best expressed by a posture of openness and show of hospitality in interacting with the sculpture. This Is an opportunity to 4,llve with " the work of some of the most important artists of the last twenty years: the name-brands of direct metal sculpture.

Several of the artists can be credited with

"Betty Davis' Eyes," a 60 feet long sculpture, will adorn the front yard of the President's home beginning next week. Seven other outdoor sculptures will be placed throughout the campus for the American Eight exhibition, which will last through the end of May. Not all the pieces will be as formidable as the Cor-ten steel rendition of Betty Davis' much-heralded eyes, but each of the eight will no doubt be an Impressive sight.

American Eight Isn't Just any exhibition. The eight pieces were created by some of the top American sculptors of our time. Most of these artists are world-renowned; in fact, the Rljksmuseum in Amsterdam owns two pieces by one of the artists. As Hope Art Professor Bill Mayer put it, these are "blue-chip" artists.

Hope is obviously very fortunate to have an exhibition of such high calibre brought here. The Anchor commends those responsible; the Art Department, Construct of Chicago < which developed the exhibition), and Interpace Corporation and its local subsidiary, Hart & Cooley Mfg., which is sponsoring American Eight, We challenge the students of Hope to take advantage of a great opportunity to view and experience this truly fine exhibition. The tendency to only appreciate art that looks "real" to us is a shortcoming that reflects the trappings of our day-to-day conception of the world. To transcend those trappings Is the beginning of the way to genuine appreciation of art, in no matter what form.

Experience American Eight. The enjoyment you reap may be your own.

Rutt Oversimplifies Issues To the Editor : I was "eagerly" reading Dan Rutt's article in last week's Peace of Mind column when 1 found some extremely bewildering conjectures that were brought. Mr. Rutt's article starts off by mentioning the Rev . Laurens Hogebrink, the terrible consequences of a nuclear war and how " w e " should support a nuclear freeze. I have a few subtle disagreements with the first half of his article, but what astounds me is this particular passage: 44 Quite opposed' to such sanity, Secretary of State Alexander Haig denounced U.S. and European anti-nuclear protests as a threat to the NATO countries and all free states. If Haig was in Nazi Germany or Fascist Italy this might be expected, but for a top government representative to denounce the PEOPLE as a threat to the STATE is to denounce democracy itself! We embrace Fascism when we ignore the people and listen to the state.' " What happened to subtle diplomacy?

The logic of this passage fascinates me: because Haig denounces the anti-nuclear protests he Is Implied to be a Nazi or a

Fascist, or at least sympathetic to their views. Next Haig is accused of denouncing the "PEOPLE," what people? Then he is accused of denouncing democracy!!

Out of astute observation, on Mr. Rutt's behalf, "we" are next accused of embracing Fascism, by not listening to the "PEOPLE." Mr. Rutt does not prove that the "PEOP L E " are the majority, so how could "we" be accused of embracing Fascism?

Have you any idea what Fascism and Nazism stand for? I suggest you read a few books or speak to someone who knows about the subject. Haig is no more a F a s c i s t t h a n y o u are a Communist. B y the way, what happened to "Authoritative Communism," or is only the extreme right worth denouncing?

The situation of a nuclear freeze is much more complex a situation than what you have portrayed--to "cloak" the whole Issue In violent rhetorical accusatlons proves nothing.

Sincerely, Robert Spence

Tirade Was Misdirected Dear Editor: I must disagree with Dr. Holmes's tirade in his recent letter concerning Ms. Bedell. I believe be should re-read the editorial until he sees the issue addressed: the return on our dollar as measured by the quality of speaker we invite. To say that the editorial was "too oriented to personality and insufficiently oriented to issues" Indicates to me that Dr. Holmes is defending Ms. Bedell because she "is a warm and friendly person" and not because what she said was worthwhile, That she was a three-career person Is not sufficient to indicate competence; it is 7r

by Jack Holmes The El Salvador situation is a classic example of a conflict that is perceived in many different ways by many different people. Unfortunately, the combination of such a situation and people willing to fight often threatens international stability.

i

John L. Hess

The conflict In El Salvador Is a civil war. There Is a hard core right determined to hold back reform at almost any cost.

There Is a hard core left determined to see a major upheaval at almost any cost.

Neither the right not the left is genuinely Interested in free elections or land reform unless on their terms. Both sides have their hard core supporters which are reflected by right-wing death squads and left-wing guerrillas.

The government of Jose Napoleon Duarte has been trying to chart a middle course with the official but limited support of the right and the unrelenting opposition of the left. Toward this end, the government has pushed land reform to the point that It has been opposed by the right and the left. Left guerrillas attempt to overthrow the government while right wing elements engage In unofficial retaliation against the left. The prize that is being sought is control of the country.

Much of the reason for the violence is

sides sat down and settled their differences.

The Soviet Union, Cuba, and Nicaragua see El Salvador as an opportunity to create trouble for the United States in its backyard by supporting the left. The U.S. then has the choice of not supporting anyone and seeing another Marxist government or of supporting forces which don't seem to meet the high ethical standards of the American people. Some of the inspiration for the Cuban-Soviet stand was provided by the Carter Administration which decided to let the proAmerican government in Nicaragua fall without giving sufficient attention to the dangers of the Sandinistas. Like Castro before them, the Sandinistas were not satisfied with merely taking control of one country and instead wanted to spread the revolution abroad. Some analysts like to say that the U.S. pushed Cuba and Nicaragua into their current position, but t h a t Wl RolvoHAr i« #»hcm€fintf anH rhancrp I RPrinnslv (taiiht fha# miM*h nuahino was

needed. How could a person like Castro be genuinely interested in freedom for his country and then let it slide into a multimillion dollar a day dependence to the Soviet Union and become a supplier of troops for the Soviet Union's colonial wars in Africa?

The basic American public reaction Is to look at El Salvador on American terms, and our terms are those of our last war-Vietnam. El Salvador is very different. El Salvador is in the American backyard or sphere of influence. This does not give us the right to do anything we want, but it would seem to dictate that we not let outside forces decide the Issue.

There Is no possibility that the Soviet Union would tolerate U.S. Intervention in areas within the Soviet sphere of influence. Indeed, I fail to understand why

later. Last time we did too much and that was a mistake. This time we could do too little and that also would be a mistake.

Some Americans stress that those we support must be morally pure according to our standards while figuring what others do is their own business. This makes little sense when one looks at communist governments like those in Vietnam and Cambodia which have been much more harmful to their people than the pro-American governments they r e p l a c e d . The p r o t e s t s of m a n y Americans seemed overly mild as Cambodia eliminated millions of its own people and as Vietnam continues to use Soviet-supplied "yellow rain" (gas) against its enemies while its people live a meager existence.

"If the government can help itself, the U.S. should not cut off aid simply because a large segment of the American public is still fighting the Vietnam war in its imagination. ff some American observers get more excited by less than a hundred U.S. trainers in El Salvador than they do by the Polish martial law regime or the thousands of Soviet troops in Afghanistan. Even more striking is our willingness to send 540,000 troops half way around the world to help the government of Soth Vietnam In the 1960's as contrasted to our questioning of sending less than a hundred trainers to neorhv W1 Qolvo/lrtr o /fenodA onH o hoi#

The lesson for the U.S. to learn regarding guerilla warfare is how to help a government help Itself. If a government cannot help Itself, the U.S. should not feel guilty in letting it fall. If the government can help Itself, the U.S. should not cut off aid simply because a large segment of the American public still is fighting the Vietnam War in its imagination.

11 (continued from p. b) opinions on El Salvador that 1 honestly don't know the extent to which the government can help itself. However, I want to find out. I'm not worried about not doing too much because the public will not permit it.

I also want to see a negotiated settlement in El Salvador and an end to the bloodshed. However, a negotiated settlement is unlikely to come until both sides have a common view of each other's capabilities. The guerrillas obviously don't believe the U.S. can sustain its help to the government as indicated by their capaign to link El Salvador to Vietnam, willingness to be photographed by journalists, and active posture on U.S. college campuses. If the left realizes that the U.S.

- h i balvodor in a non-colonial world can decide the issue in favor of the U.S. The recent elections in El Salvador were a gamble accepted by the U.S. to demonstrate that the government was popular. The left's refusal to participate and threats against voters betrays a lack of confidence in left's support. If the left understands the U.S. well enough to send spokesmen to college campuses, they understand the U.S. well enough to know that rigged elections would be most difficult to stage in the glare of publicity.

Perhaps the left was scared that they did not in fact have meaningful support and is trying to do by violence in El Salvador and deceit in the world community what they cannot accomplish in a free election.

"It would be a tragedy of the first order to deliver an unwilling El Salvador to the authoritarian left because we were trying to avoid another Vietnam." can sustain help to the government and the right recognizes that victory is unlikely without unacceptable costs, then the time for a political settlement might be at hand.

Limited but sustained U.S. help also will answer the question of whether the government or the guerrillas in fact have popular support. It would be a tragedy of the first order to deliver an unwilling El Salvador to the authoritarian left because we were trying to avoid another Vietnam.

The question of whether or not one can legalistically prove that the guerrillas are receiving Soviet, Cuban, and Nicaraguan help is a side issue. The Soviets and Cubans have never hesitated to give the U.S. trouble if the price is not too high.

Nicaragua now has the largest army in Central America. It is unrealistic to argue over proving the obvious. If in fact all that is happening in El Salvador is the result of internal forces, then no amount of U.S. help short of establishing a colony

It is a powerful argument for the Salvadorian left to contend that the United States should leave El Salvador alone. However, the argument lacks credibility in view of the left's active seeking of outside help from the Soviet Union. Cuba, and Nicaragua. The left's admonitions make sense only as propaganda aimed at talking us out of protecting ourselves. In this sense, the Salvadorinan left is interfering in the affairs of the United States. However, in the largest sense, the world is interdependent and matters like this rarely stop at national boundaries.

In fact, the Salvadorian left seems to understand the United States extremely well. The presentation their spokesman gave at Hope was masterful propoganda.

Few bothered to associate him with the killing being done by his side. When he talked about electric blackouts hurting only the rich, nobody asked him about the effect on patients in hospitals. He acted

like the Salvadorian people would overwhelmingly favor the left just a few weeks before the left threatened death to Salvadorians who voted in an election.

El Salvador's election turnout, twothirds of the electorate, is good even by American standards and even better in view of the left's violent attempts to prevent people from voting. The largest number of votes went to the centrist Christian Democrats represented by President Duarte, though the right has talked about forming a majority coalition against him. Duarte was compared to a watermelon which is red in the center by his right opposition while the left attempted to make him look like a fascist.

Duarte provides hope that a viable centrist force has a chance and this hope is

shared by the United States government If anything was surprising about the election, it was that the right candidates combined got over half the vote. This makes sense if one views the conflict as being between two hard core sides rather than being the simple rich-poor conflict portrayed by the left. This does not mean that I favor the right. In fact, I believe a center solution is needed since people need to be brought together in a peaceful manner. By avoiding participation in the elections, the left has prolonged the war Let us hope that the people of El Salvador a r e allowed to express their free

will about their future over the next few years and that the United States has the c o u r a g e to h e l p El S a l v a d o r help itself

Concert Review

Motiff To Give Stress Seminar

The POLICE

by Tim Emmet I could've sat there for hours! The Police are easily one of the finest bands of the early 80's. They have strengths in every aspect of the business: tight, forceful songs, great Instrumentation and great personality and professionalism among the members of the group.

I base this conclusion upon seeing The Police at The Summit, a large indoor arena and convention center in Houston, Texas. I had the extreme pleasure of chancing upon the concert while on spring break vacation. The concert was sold-out weeks before, yet I was able to obtain a ticket for only $2.50 over retail value.

The stage was set up a bit towards the center of the arena, thus all seats were available. Visability at the concert was good from all angles.

Coming out without a back-up band, they took Houston by storm. Starting with "Spirits From The Material World," a hit from their latest platinum album, "Ghost In The Machine," they Just couldn't be stopped. Sting, the bassist and lead vocalist for the band, and its guiding light, gave his heart and soul to the audience. Meanwhile, Andy Summers (guitarist) and Stewart Copeland (drums) supported with a chugging rhythm section. In addition, three horn players were brought along for this tour, which is lasting over 50 dates, and is soldout everywhere.

For 2^ hours, the band covered almost all their songs from all their four albums.

Their two encore songs were 4*Roxanne" and "My Girl."

By concert's end, the audience was fever pitched with people struggling to get up on the stage. It was a genuine Joy to see a great, serious bunch of musicians, and the audience felt that power, too.

With the future of The Police in the balance as Sting ponders whether to return to screen roles (he starred In The Who's movie, "Quadrophenla"), I was gratified to see a truly excellent band that Is In Its prime. I've been to dozens of concerts, but this was a number one or two to me. If you ever get a chance to see The Police live, grab it.

SNS: Diary of a Country Priest

by Paul Fries Robert Bresson's Importance as a filmmaker is undisputed. Seminal volumes of criticism by Susan Sontag and Andre Bazin have devoted generous space to the works of the complex French director, ultimately declaring him a significant modem artist. Yet Bresson has never enjoyed any popularity in America.

Unlike other domestically uncommercial foreign directors - Godard, Resnais, Antonioni - Bresson remains remote even to art-house buffs. A Bresson film has never played on Hope College's cam-" pus.

Bresson's films is Intact.

Not to mislead - one will not find the rampant brutality and exploitative elements of Taxi Driver in Diary of a Country Priest, nor will one experience any suspense. This and all Bresson films are accused of being cold, as if this was Intrinsically a flaw. But as Susan Sontag points out. "to call a work 'cold' means nothing more or less than to compare It (often unconsciously) to a work that Is 4 hot.' And not all work is - or could be hot, any more than all persons have the same temperament... one has to understand the aesthestlcs -- that Is, find the This Saturday S A C. will rectify this beauty of such coldness." misfortune by showing Diary of a Country Bresson does everything in his power as Priest director to deprive the audience of emoIndirectly, most movie-goers have tional Involvement In Diary He uses no sampled Bresson (In the same sense Incidental music.

Thematlcally, the film Is heavily laden with strict Catholicism (Bresson's faith).

It Is unclear exactly what Sultun Is trying to achieve on his first (and most-llkely last) solo endeavor, Kasim Is It new wave? Is It disco? Top 40? Or Is It a tribute to Donny Osmond? Actually, all It Is. Is a good laugh, or more accurately - a good cry.

His music can be summed up as an offensive blend of child-like lyrics, droning beats, painful cliches and nauseating vocals Using these talents, he effectively exposes his lack of musical ability with ten noisy "songs." all of which are repetitive, boring and totally meaningless.

The only redeeming factor of the album Is Roger Powell on synthesizers. He manages to hold together what little Kaslm and his band of unknowns can offer with a fine performance on the

BANDFEST'82

keyboards, and Earth, Wind and Fire make a brief appearance on side two Although at this point It Is obviously too late, they give us some jazzy and energetic runs on the horns, almost making It worthwhile to buy the LP for just these few measures.

However, on the remainder of the disc Sultun sticks It out alone. In the song "This Must Be Love" (which Is fairly representative of the entire album) Kasim condemns himself as he sings about his Incredible urge to call a girl he knows. He comes to the revelation that "This Must Be Love" and he Is so overcome by this Idea he sings the catchy phrase ten times. He backs It up with the mechanical rhythm he seemingly becomes quite attached to (which by now the listener has completely memorized), he throws In a few "OOOOhhhhh's" and a couple of "Yeahhhh's" and manages to produce a sadistically long three minute wng.

The gem's packaging Is about as creative as the piece of plastic Inside. The cover photograph: A piece of yellow cake, a mug-shot, a chair, and a glove.

Peace of Mind

by Dan Rutt In preparation for Ground Zero Week, April ia-25, a nation-wide week of nonpartisan, community-based discussions and events designed to educate and involve the American people on the issue of a nuclear war (see Information posted around campus for more details), I would like to go briefly over the effects of a nuclear war. It is difficult to grasp the full horror of nuclear weapons; for those of you who have read this before I think that we cannot be reminded of it too much. I have gotten the information used in this column from the U.S. Congress Office of Technology Assessment book entitled, "The Effects of Nuclear War." First of all, it was calculated that a "small" or "limited" nuclear attack of 10 missiles on oil refineries, not population centers, might cause as many as 20 million casualties. There is no such thing as a "small" nuclear war..

We shall consider a one megaton nuclear, not nearly the largest we ^ jsse— Th.. explosion assuming a ground blast (an air blast is more dangerous), would hurl thousands of tons of ground into the air leaving a crater about 1,000 feet in diameter and 200 feet deep, surrounded by a rim of highly radioactive soil for another 1,000 feet. Up to a distance of 1.7 miles there will be virtually no survivors. Out to 2.7 miles there will be 50 percent fatalities, 40 percent injured, and 10 percent safe. Out to 4.7 miles there will be 5 percent fatalities, 45 percent injuries, and 50 percent safe. Out to 7.4 miles there will be 25 percent injured. Although it may be blasphemy to the capitalist faith, I will not dwell on structural damage to buildings. These are the Immediate disasters, but things do not turn to normal after a nuclear blast.

Besides the fact that radiation is undetectable so people will not know when it is safe to go outside and people will die of radiation sickness 150 miles away, chances for recovery are next to Impossible. Electromagnetic radiation

from the blast burns out capacitors and resisters so communications and electric power would be virtually nonexistent.

-Roads would be destroyed and covered with debris so transportation would be Impossible in the areas needing it the most. With broken gas lines and ample material to burn, fires would rage out of control, and even if firefighters could get to the fires, many water lines would be inoperable or broken anyway. With thousands of dead bodies - humans and animals - rotting disease would spread at phenomenal rates, especially with radiation sickness lowering resistance. Inadequate sewage or waste disposal and lack of clean water. These factors would make the chances of saving injured persons' lives, especially burn patients, a disaster.

For those who could survive the shortterm effects, life would never be the same. If they had to live in their radiated environment - unsafe for years - and could receive outside help in repairing sewage, water, electrical, gas, food and shelter problems (assuming the surrounding areas were not attacked) society would then have to completely rebuild itself. Otherwise, they would be forced to relocate. With the possible depletion of the ozone, the formation of nitrous oxides - responsible for acid rain - from the heat of the blast (fusing nitrogen and oxygen from the air) and destruction of mammalian and higher animals in the area, ecological problems could arise greater than ever encountered before, especially If several bombs are used. Cancer deaths and those suffering from genetic mutation would eventually reach millions.

This is one of the drier accounts of the effects of nuclear war, but the Office of Technology Assessment by no means excludes the horrors of nuclear war However, we will still spend mUlions of dollars on civil defense only to hope that we are not cooked in our own shelters from the million degree temperatures - a nuclear explosion is several times hotter than the center of the sun. We continue to plan on Absorbing" acceptable damage

In a nuclear exchange with the Soviet Union, but once Just one missile strikes a U.S. city with the destruction stated above, what is going to stop us from escalating into an exchange involving 10, 50,100, or thousands of warheads in order to get back at those Russians? Nuclear war is not winnable! But, what do some of our beloved government representatives think? Vice-President Bush has stated his position, "You have a survivability of command control, survivability of industrial potential, protection of a percentage of your citizens and you have a capability that inflicts more damage on the opposition than it can inflict upon you." Well, Casper Weinberger, Alexander Haig and Ronald Reagan do not rule out a nuclear war either, but perhaps it can be understood why these people hold such views. But what about our Director of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, Eugene Rostow who has stated, "Japan, after all, not only survived but flourished after the nuclear attack . . . Depending upon certain assumptions, some estimates predict 10 million (dead) on one side and 100 million on the other but that is not the whole population."

With friends like this who needs the Russians?

Thinclads Fight Ma Nature

by Steve Underwood Spring, where art thou? Apparently the groundhog came out again and didn't see his shadow (or whatever he does), because Just when we all thought spring was arriving, Mother Nature gave us an encore showing of the Woeful Winter of The fab display of snow, wind and frigid temperatures opened Saturday, April 3. with its biggest blast, adding a

few more shock waves as Holy Week progressed. These climatlcal conditions caused Hope sporting events scheduled for the week to be postponed, cancelled or moved indoors, causing participants a real let-down and schedule-makers a real headache. Among those teams flustered by the bluster were the men's and women's track teams.

'Hands-On' Experience

by Fred Ward Deep within the basement of DeWitt is the Placement Office. You say you have never heard of it or that you are not sure why it is there. Dale Austin, its director, is out to change this.

The role of this office is to aid the transition between Hope and life after Hope.

Whether grad school or a job is in your future this is a place where a great deal of information can be found. Althought it is primarily for Juniors and seniors, anyone is welcome to come in and talk. It is not necessary for you to know what you want to do, but it is necessary to make an appointment if you wish to talk to Dale.

In helping students prepare for life after Hope, Dale sees his Job as two-fold.

First, students must learn what resources are available to them. Secondly, the office oversees on-campus recruiting, biweekly publication of the placement bulletin, preparation of career information, and creation of credential files.

Dale, in coming to this new position, had several objectives that are all beginning to be realized this year. Increasing the visibility of Hope in the Western Michigan business community is a main concern. This involves getting in touch with many businesses and learning their needs while at the same time exposing them to what Hope graduates have to offer.

Another area of concern was one of internal communication here at Hope. Getting in touch with the chairperson(s) of each department was necessary to deter-

(continued from p. 1

mine the placement needs ot stuaents in those disciplines. To this end the Faculty Advisory Committee was established.

A third goal was to create a stronger relationship with alumni. In order to demonstrate to the alumni that Hope does have concern as to their lives after Hope, and to establish possible Job connections.

Lastly, Dale has tried to Increase the contact of the office and students. This Is Important because there Is some Information to which students need access before they walk through the graduation exercises, such as when companies are hiring (which Is usually February or April, not May or June).

The Placement Office deals with areas besides business, such as the social sciences, the performing arts and the humanities. Althought the market is not the same and the role of the office is not as large in these areas, there is a positive outlook for the expansion of its services.

The need for the services of the Placement Office is growing, especially If the U.S. Bureau of Labor statistics about the number of Jobs opening up between 1981 and 1985 are valid. There are supposed to be, In the next three years, 950,000 motr college graduates than Jobs suited to them. This means that It will be important for Hope students to develop several alternatives for employment.

At the end of our discussion, Dale again stressed that he is there to help anyone anytime, the frustration comes because he wants to help, but has to wait for the Individual student to make the first move.

The Dutchwomen had meets with Alma and Adrian postponed and their male counterparts were cancelled out of the Wabash Relays (yes, even as far south as Crawfordsvllle, Indiana there were nasty conditions). As of today (Monday, April 12) the home track had been cleared of the white stuff and It looks as though Hope will be able to host the Adrian Bulldogs (both sexes) on Wednesday, April 14. The women have a 1:20 meet at home Saturday with Aquinas, while the men travel to Olivet.

The most interesting episodes came that first day, April 3rd, when the men and women each traveled to relayInvltational meets. In fact, women's team member Diane Boughton "had a feeling something weird was going to happen."

Everyone probably had a similar feeling early Saturday before departure as the winds were already howling. the adventurous men traveled to the Albian Relays, where they were greeted with flurries and wind so fierce that the pole vaulters were moved to Spring Arbor's indoor facility. This was difficult because the bus had found Itself a nice trough of mud that it would not leave without some coaxing. The team made it out after the meet to a Battle Creek restaurant, but the weather put up quite a fight after that. On one particularly hazardous hill In Allegan, the driver wisely chose to run off the road Into someone's front yard instead of trying what would have been a suicidal left turn. After groping a few more miles the team was informed it would have to stay at Hamilton High School until the roads were cleared.

This announcement angered many, but anger turned to Joy (well, at least for some of us) when It was learned that the women's team had been marooned there too.

The females had ventured to the cn Western Michigan Invitational where they were fortunate enough to have a nice Indoor facility to move Into. But their trip to Hamilton wasn't easy either. Their "yellow submarine" wouldn't start at first, then a broken driver's side wlndshleld-wlper made It necessary to stop every three miles for a wipe; they also had to crawl out of a ditch.

Once at the High School, the teams enJoyed a variety of activities: basketball, slam-dunk contests, food, volleyball, gymnastics and more. Some found nooks to study in, others crowded in a TV room.

When it came time to sleep, everyone found their own personal space, softened with blankets provided by volunteers of gym mats. A lucky few even found a bed In a music room! The next day the roads were clear enough for everyone to find their merry way home.

Oh, yes, about the meets. The men finished a close 2nd (of seven) to Albian (60-52). First places were recorded by the pole vault, 2 mile, 880, distance medley and mile relays. The women had much larger field to deal with Including Division I schools such as the University of Michigan. Uli Peinalt scored the lone Dutch points with a school record 5'6" high Jump, good for a 5th place tie. But the experience of the trip outweighed the actual performance.

Weather Dampens Spring Time Sports Schedule I§ W

by Eva M. Dean Ah, the wonders of spring. The newness and warmth in the air, the fresh green grass and buds, the occassional winter o blizzards, the arrival of Tulip Time, more J occassional blizzards, the beginning of o spring sports or, lately, their delay. u w Where else but in Michigan. cu All of Hope's spring sports have had a c s damper placed upon their play and schedules, as unorthodox weather has invaded the area in the past couple of weeks. And how does an athletic department atone for natural dilemmas? It's obvious. They cram schedules with makeup games and take some aspirin with their frustrations.

Most of the teams haven't had a chance to play outside yet, conducting much of their practices and occassional encounters indoors, either in Dow or the Holland Tennis Club. But it's Just not the same; obviously grounders off the linoleum in Dow aren't exactly what they would be like at Maplewood or Van Raalte. And a nice offensive lob in tennis isn't very effective when it hits the ceiling. Please God, change the weather.

A few of the head coaches had some cunning and serious suggestions about their respective teams' problems during the rejuvenated onslaught of winter. A grain of salt was obviously taken with each word.

mmmm

Bill Japinga, men's tennis: "We want to be able to play up here. It's really hard to say what we can do in these cold weather conditions. Who knows how we can play with out mittens on?"

Anne Irwin, women's softball: "The weather has made it very unpredictable as to what to do. We've been outside once since we've been back from spring break.

Now, we're going to have at least three games scheduled to a week."

Gordon Brewer, track: "It's been tough on track. We seem to constantly be in and out. It's especially hard for the hurdles because only three of ten hurdles in the event can be used in Dow. Every track and field event can't be practiced effectively indoors."

Jim Bultman, men's baseball: "We're going to make the best of it. We know we have a great facility in Dow and we're going to try to maintain a positive attitude while we practice inside. We're still going to enter the season with optimism."

Tanya Shire, women's tennis: "This is obviously not tennis weather. The wetness and wind account for that. But our victories in the GLCA tournament and over Kalamazoo on Friday have made the rumor around the league that Hope will be the team to beat."

So one more time, sports fans: Please God, don't forget to change the weather.
