Demarest to give up Head Resident position

Volume 87—22

Hope College, Holland, Michigan 49423

According to Vice-President for Student Affairs, Robert De Young, Durfee Hall Head Resident Gary Demarest .has been asked to resign that post, effective at the beginning of the next academic year. Demarest will remain in his position as Director of the Counseling Center, De Young said.

HE ATTRIBUTED the decision by the Dean of Students staff to ask for Demarest's resignation as Durfee Head Resident to "a violation of the management principle," which he said stemmed from Demarest's conflicting roles as Durfee Head Resident and Director of the Counseling Center.

Demarest is under the jurisdiction of Director of Student Residences Elaine VanLiere head resident position, while at the same time he oversees the Director of Student Residences in his role as Director of the Counseling Center.

"IT'S NOT a decision that was made in the absence of Demarest," DeYoung said. "It was made together with him and with the other members of the staff."

Demarest expressed disappointment at the decision, stating, "I've enjoyed every minute as Head Resident and was looking forward to being back next year. I feel I've had overwhelming support from students."

DEYOUNG cited two other factors that he felt were responsible for the decision to relieve Demarest of his duties as Head Resident. "We feel that in his position as Director of the Counseling Center he has a responsibility to all the residence halls and was identifying too closely with just one."

He also cited Demarest's failure to consult with the rest of the staff on certain issues as a reason for the decision. DeYoung declined to elaborate, calling the decision a "personal matter" involving the Dean of Students staff.

room searches are generally not used.

"R.A.S ARE increasingly respecting the privacy of the room," he said. "The regulations serve to control serious behavioral problems."

During the year some criticism was raised about the lack of Student Congress meetings. Beran said that future Student Congresses shouldn't meet much more than this year's did.

"MOST OF the work," he said, "is done on boards, committees and task forces. This is where it should be done."

Whether Student Congress will be effective, he said, depends on its leadership, especially its president.

"THE PRESIDENT has a great deal of influence in setting the tone of the Student Congress," Beran said. "Next year he'll also pick the board members (students). It's a good way of setting policy."

As for his relations with Hope's other president, Gordon VanWylen, he said, "I have a great deal of respect for President VanWylen as a person. We come out of very different backgrounds, though, so there's bound to be disagreement in some areas.

THE DECISION has met with opposition from many Durfee Hall residents and R.A.s who feel that student opinion should have been considered before the decision was made.

R.A. Dave Edwards stated, "I think Demarest's done the best job I've ever seen. He's done a lot of planning and he keeps the R.A.s doing a good job. I don't think there's any conflict of interest. Students like him. They want him back." * STEW GRAHAM, also an R.A. in Durfee said, "I think the programs that he's implemented here create a chance to have a real living experience rather than just a place to reside. He responded to the alleged conflict between Demarest's jobs stating, "Demarest's being here in the dorm probably aids him in his job at the counseling center by keeping him abreast of a lot of student feeling."

Graham continued, "The R.A. staff was hired with the expectation that Demarest would be returning. Many of the students who selected Durfee did so because of Demarest's presence here.

I think the decision was poorly timed."

lifeboat ethics' author to lecture on ecology Controversial ecologist, author and educator Dr. Garrett Hardin will speak on campus Monday and Tuesday as part of the S&H Foundation lecture series, "Man and the New Genetics." The series is from a grant from the foundation, part of Sperry and Hutchinson.

Hardin is best known for his article "The Tragedy of the Commons," in which he argues that man must forfeit certain freedoms to control population and pollution.

He has written on the moral and social implications of biology since , 1950, including genetics, evolution pollution and population growth. He has served as professor of human ecology at the University of California at Santa Barbara since 1963."

NO INCREASE FOR FOOD-At the Tuesday evening meeting of the Student Congress, anchor Managing Editor Dave DeKok (center, at table) asked the Congress to restore a cut made in the anchor's food budget, which reimburses staffers for the meal they must purchase when they work for the paper in Grand Rapids on Thursday afternoon and evening. Next year's allotment was reduced from $234 to $45 because members of the Student Appropriations Committee felt only staffers with 21 meal Saga plans should receive compensation. The appeal was denied.

"Nature and Man's Fate" is Hardin's address to be presented Monday at 8 p.m. in the Wichers Auditorium of the Nykerk Hall of Music. He will also speak on "Pejoristic Path to Discovery" to biology classes Monday at 12:30 p.m. and will address the human ecology class on "Lifeboat Ethics" Tuesday at 12:30 p.m.

Both class sessions will be held in Wichers Auditorium and all lectures are open to the public.

According to Dr. Eldon Greij, associate professor of biology and chairman of the department, this is an excellent opportunity for Hope. He said it is unusual that a speaker of Hardin's notoriety is speaking to undergraduates.

Hardin is also known for his essays on Lifeboat Ethics. This entails the metaphor that the rich of the world are on a lifeboat, surrounded by the poor who hope to be admitted to the world of the rich.

However, Hardin proposes that we, who in our "rich" lifeboat, maintain our standards of living, do not admit the poor to our lifeboat of resources, and let phenomena such as famine reduce the rest of the world's population.

In "Living on a Lifeboat," pdblished in the October 1974 issue of Bio-Science, Hardin talks about how man will ultimately ruin the commons. The term commons originally meant common pasture, but Hardin extends this to the resources available to the U.S. and th^ world.

He writes, "If everyone would only restrain himself, all would be well; but it takes only one less than everyone to ruin a system of voluntary restraint. In a crowded world of less than perfect human beings-and we will never know any other-mutual ruin is inevitable in the commons. This is the core of the tragedy of the commons."

Senator Mark 0 . Hatfield addressed Congress in 1974 on Hardin's articles "The Tragedy of the Commons" and "Lifeboat Ethics: The Case Against Helping the Poor." In Congressional Record, October 16, 1974, Hatfield said, "As a congressional delegate to the World Food Conference, I feel a particular responsibility to respond to Dr. Hardin's argument, which I consider unreasonable, inhuman and immoral."

Hardin campaigned for abortion in the 1960s and calls for birth control programs in Birth Control and Population, Evolution and Birth Control.

Anyone interested in reading "Living on a Lifeboat" can obtain copies from Dr. Greijr The Hope Geneva Bookstore also has copies of some of Hardin's works.

Mickey leaves Disney for Hope The following s t a t e m e n t s were prepared by candidate for S t u d e n t Congress president Mickey Mouse in response to an anchor questionnaire.

1. What are the important issues for Hope's student body next year?

The first issue is to discover the issues. For too many years Student Congress Officers and Candidates have intuited issues f r o m the

Reader's Digest, Better Homes and Gardens, and the Bennett Cerf Joke Book. It's a b o u t time we listened to students.

Real issues'are a direct result of actively voiced student concern.

Bob Cavanaugh is concerned about the student voice. So am 1.

Therefore 1 propose that the first task of the student body is to exercise its voice. S t u d e n t Congress will help t o facilitate this exercise.

If 1 am elected I will d o my best to change the core require' m e n t t o include credits in Basic Voice and U p p e r Level Screaming.

SAC will show Deep Throat and other speech f u n d a m e n t a l s films.

After we succeed in turning on the student voice John Dean will come to campus for a lecture to Siudent Congress, student personnel. and Dr. VanWylen on, " R e cent Developments in 20th Century Listening. it is my hope that with a more articulate student voice and a trained ear we will gain a greater appreciation for talk, gossip, rumors and oiher issues at Hope College.

2. Do you believe that S t u d e n t Congress has an effective role in siudent affairs, and if n o t , what changes d o you propose to m a k e the Congress stronger in its role in student affairs?

As a ? direct result of active listening t o the whispering student voice I have discovered that most Hope s t u d e n t s are very concerned about their affairs. It is in this area especially that Student Congress has been lying down on the job.

If 1 am elected 1 propose to set up a c o m p u t e r dating service. This service I am sure will have a

Organist to perform John Ferris, university organist and choirmaster at Harvard University and lecturer on liturgical music at Harvard Divinity School, will present an organ recital Sunday. at 8 : 3 0 p.m. in Dimnent Chapel.

The recital, sponsored by the music d e p a r t m e n t , is open to the public and free of charge.

The recital will include works

by Johann Walther, Bach, Max Reger, Paul H i n d e m i t h and Cesar Franck.

Ferris received his bachelor of music degree f r o m Michigan State University and his master of sacred music degree at Union Theological Seminary in New York City.

Upon graduation he served as an assistant t o V e r n o n deTar, organist and choirmaster of the Church of the Ascension in New York City. Ferris is also an Associate in the American Guild of Organists and has served t w o terms as Dean of the Boston Chapter.

He has appeared in a series of organ concerts sponsored by the Boston S y m p h o n y Orchestra and has taught organ at the Berkshire Music Center in T a n g l e w o o d , Mass.

campus wide appeal and will get the sciences actively involved with the humanities.

If some s t u d e n t s are o f f e n d e d by the impersonal c o m p u t e r 1 suggest an alternate, more personalized service offered by Bob DeYoung, Elaine VanLiere, and Bill Hillegonds. it would probably also be a helpful idea if Dr. VanWylen hired a n o t h e r divisional dean to help co-ordinate and develop campus gossip and student affairs.

This would facilitate t r u t h , efficiency, and the mending of broken hearts and homes. As a Student Congress president I would place a heavy emphasis on Dutch-treat-week, 24 hour visitation, and the addition to the curriculum of a course in foreign affairs t o help broaden Hope's world-view. With these new platforms in s t u d e n t affairs I hope to get Student Congress off the ground.

3. Do you see any need for evaluation of the administration by students and faculty? If you do, what specific plans or ideas would you propose to the Hope community?

cause it says in Matthew 17:27, " G o t o the sea and cast a h o o k and take the first fish that comes up, and when you open its m o u t h you will find a shekel."

So Kurt Van Genderen went t o the beaches of Florida and California and the mountain lakes of Colorado, fishing for the New Phys. Ed. Center. Likewise we can complacently j u s t i f y our m i n o r i t y programs, public safety department, Faculty tenure, and bushes in fro'nt of Kollen Hall.

With the vision of Albertus C. Van R a a l t e - w e d o it, so it must be right, and all things fall within the goals and purposes.

Therefore I d o n ' t feel that student or faculty evaluations are necessary . . . let he who is innocent . . . besides, my Mother told me once that if you can't say anything nice d o n ' t say it.

So write me in at the Congress election Wed. April 23. " W h o ' s the leader of the band t h a t ' s made for you and me. . . . M-l-C-K-E-Y-M-O-U-S-E."

Youre not a typical Christian

To quote Hope's immortal m a m m o n - m o n g e r , "Let me t o u c h base with y o u , " on this honest self-evaluation business. I think it is important that we find justifications for all of our actions at Hope College. Scriptural justifications are always in keeping with the Goals and Purposes and pharisaic tradition.

Our college is perfectly justified in refurnishing Van Raalte Hall because as it says in Luke 5 : 3 7 , " N o one puts new wine in old wine-skins but new wine must be put in new bottles." Therefore it can be concluded on the basis of this passage that we need new offices for our new administration.

The development staff is also justified in its trips to California, and Florida, and Colorado, be-

Paul Revere to ride again

Seems like Christians w h o consider full-time Christian service a live option are all too rare these days. M o s t are f a r too enamored with the "middleclass American d r e a m " to give it m u c h thought.

Paul Revere will ride again tonight, in Holland a n y w a y , on this the 200th anniversary of his original ride. According to Mrs. Landis P. Z y l m a n , chairman of the Holland Bicentennial C o m m i t t e e , a reenactment of the historic ride will launch the city's bicentennial celebration activities for the year.

Tonight's activities will begin at 7 p.m. at the Ninth Street Christian R e f o r m e d Church where Mayor Louis Hallacy will deliver a declaration.

Four costumed riders, one f r o m each of Holland's townships, will carry a copy of the declaration by horseback to a gathering of people at a designated point within their respective townships.

The purpose of the ride, according t o Zylman, is t o p r o m o t e interest in bicentennial activities and to help instill patriotism within the people of Holland.

But you're different. You want y o u r strokes to count for eternity. You w a n t y o u r life to show the integrity of y o u r commitment to Jesus Christ. You pray that y o u r education and training will pay off big for His Kingdom. And y o u ' r e looking for the right place to plug in.

S o u n d s like T h e Agape M o v e m e n t was created especially for y o u . It is giving specialized training to Christian men and women and placing them in strategic leadership ministries around the globe.

SE Asia fund begun On Monday, students will have an opportunity to aid war-ravaged Southeast Asia through donations that will be given to the Red Cross. The Red Cross has recently established a specific fund for Southeast Asia relief.

Students will be manning tables in Kollen, Dykstra, Gilmore, Durfee and Phelps Halls, as well as in the Kletz, from 7 to 11 p.m. There will also be tables set up in the Phelps dinner line.

THE GREAT ZANDU, world's most death defying stunt man, prepares to quench his thirst by diving head first into a cup of water. He will be performing with other members of "The Friend's Road Show" in the Pine Grove this coming Wednesday.

There are immediate openings for skilled teachers and administrators, construction and maintenance personnel, secretaries, doctors, dentists, nurses, lab technicians, agricultural experts and engineers of all types. T h e y go to help meet the physical needs of people and to clearly present the ii}essage of Jesus Christ. In the process they train and disciple Christian nationals to reach their o w n people. All go for a m i n i m u m two years and some much longer. Theirs is not a typical Christian ministry.

If a big heart shapes your Christian commitment, write T h e Agape M o v e m e n t for more information or call: (714) 886-5224. It may launch the adventure of y o u r life!

'Neo-Christianity'

SPONSORED BY THE MINISTRY OF CHRIST'S

Whew! All that theology and heavy talk week after week in this column has got my mind boggled.

What do you say, since it is spring time and we are all getting restless, let's break away from all that "deep" stuff and talk about a game that is becoming quite popular on Hope's campus.

THE GAME is called "Neo-Christianity" and is really quite simple, although interesting, to play once you have established your position, (of course everyone is subject to change). It goes like this: First, you must formulate your Christian doctrine, without the use of Scripture of course, that's the tough part, then you can play with your roommate, a couple of friends, or your whole dorm, the more the merrier. (It should be pointed out that you need not be a Christian to play but you must at least pretend you are committed to the faith if the game is going to hold interest.)

The object is to convince your opponent that what you have formulated as your faith is Christian.

If you do, you get ten points. For each individual you persuade after the first, you receive an additional 15 points. (NOTE: Persuasion of a religion department member is worth a bonus 100 points and a gift certificate to Skiles.) You can set boundaries before you begin or extend the game throughout the entire campus.

A TIME LIMIT should be set (usually a semester or longer), and the individual who has the most points at the end of the time period is declared the winner. (Further explanation and score cards may be picked up at Crispell Cottage.)

Does it sound familiar? "Neo-Christianity" is booming with popularity on our campus, and although you may never have participated in organized competition, you may be playing it every day.

Therefore, although it appears quite harmless and even interesting, a word of caution must be issued at this point.

YOU SEE, the problem with playing a game like "Neo-Christianity" is that by the time it is over, nobody knows what Christianity really is. After everyone has formulated what they believe Christianity should be without regard to Scripture and

told it to others, there is so much confusion that one is either forced to go into retreat by himself or to accept everyone's doctrine as being equally credible.

Because this is the Age of Aquarius, the age of "love," where nobody would dream of offending anyone else, the latter is usually the case. However, the worst part of the whole thing is that eventually you don't even know what you believe.

THE DANGEROUS thing about "Neo-Christianity" is that it is based on the "I'm O.K.-You're O.K." philosophy, where there is an acceptance of not only the individual but also his sometimes atrocious philosophies as well.

What you end up with then in "NeoChristianity" is a conglomeration of people who, although claiming to hold certain common beliefs, have a watered-down, superficial faith, if there can be a faith at all. You see, when you accept all beliefs as being equally credible and acceptable, there is bound to be some contradiction, and with each contradiction your faith will become weaker.

CHRISTIANITY is different, however, in that it accepts the individual but points philosophies to the Bible. For the Christian, Scripture is the Word of God and, therefore, a belief which is contingent with Scripture will produce a solid, not watereddown, f a i t h - a sincere not a superficial acceptance of others. ~ Ultimately a Christian has no other basis for his faith than Scripture, therefore, beliefs that are at variance with Scripture are not to be recognized as some variant form of Christianity, as some tend to think, but rather as opposed to Christianity.

"NEO-CHRISTIANITY" offers excitement where there might tend to be monotony, but so does Russian roulette. We cannot afford to formulate our own notion of Christianity, we are not left that choice. A person who claims to be a Christian and yet stands apart from Scripture is like an individual who claims to be in love and yet stays apart from the beloved-it's inconceivable.

Just as you don't play games with the one you love, you don't play games with Christianity.

Granted, no man is in a position to judge another, however, all men are in a position to judge themselves; let us judge ourselves.

Four faculty members awarded NEH grants Four Hope faculty members have been awarded prestigious summer seminar grants by the National' Endowment for the Humanities.

RECIPIENTS of the grants are Dr. Douglas Heerema, associate professor of economics and business administration, Antonia Searles, assistant professor of Spanish; Dr. Gisela Strand, assistant professor of German; and Dr. Wilson Strand, assistant professor of history. ine NbH program is designed to allow faculty from small colleges to engage in in-depth study in a humanistic field of their choice in the setting of a large university/library system and in cooperation with and under the guidance of recognized experts in the field.

HEEREMA WILL spend the summer at New York University doing research on "Art in the Age of Enlightenment." The focus of this research will be to achieve a better understanding of one of the crucial periods of transition in the history of art, in relation to the momentous changes that took place in philosophy, science, technology and politics during the latter half of the 18th century.

Heprema will be conducting his research with Prof. H. W. Janson of New York University, a recognized expert in the field of art history.

Literatura from the University of Madrid, will spend this summer at the University of Virginia at Charlottesville participating in a seminar on "Underlying Constants in the Changing Methods of Literary Study."

The seminar will be directed by Hugh Davidson, professor of French Literature at the University of Virginia. Gisela Strand will spend the summer at the University of Texas at Austin participating in a seminar on "Contemporary German Literature: A Resurgent Humanism." Knowledge gained from the seminar will be incorporated into a new course next fall entitled "German Literature from the Third Reich to the Present."

Wilson Strand has been invited to the University of Chicago to participate in a seminar entitled "The Assyrian and Babylonian Empires." It will be directed'by Director of the Oriental Institute at the University of Chicago.

Senior seminar dearth predicted for next year If you have not registered for a May, June or Fall Senior Seminar, you will be one of the 350 seniors scrambling for 160 spring semester senior slots. Students cannot graduate without a senior seminar.

They are urged to avoid the crunch by registering now for May or June seminar offerings which include five IDS courses: 4 0 2 Christianity and Contemporary Literature; 403-War and Peace; 421-Science and Human Values; 437-Probing Values. The religion department will be providing a sixth May option: 453-Christianity and Contemporary American Culture.

The 402 IDS-Christianity and Contemporary Literature-will be the only seminar available during June. Alt six courses listed for May and June will be re-offered in the fall with the addition of Religion 351-Christian Ethics.

A ceiling of twenty students per class has been strictly set and will be enforced as of this coming May term. Thus, seniors planning to graduate with their class in the spring of '76 should register for a May, June or Fall course immediately, or be prepared to dropadd in the Fall.

Spring's play The past few weeks are once again part of the Hope College tradition. These were the r u m o r weeks. "Who received and did not receive tenure?" are the questions being asked. Half-guessed, half-hoped for conjectures for the most part are circulating throughout the campus.

Reasons that are given for why certain faculty members did not receive tenure range from the totally bizarre to the frighteningly truthful. Although these rumors are bad and students are a major source of their growth, what is more ridiculous is that the student body is not even told of the Status Committee's recommendation for tenure until after the appeals by the faculty are heard.

It is understandable that to have faculty members speak out before their appeals come up would be harmful to their chances of fair consideration of the appeal and for future employment. (One could ask, however, what are the chances of an appeal being successful?) To publish a statement that appears bitter or angry or revengeful while applying for another teaching position would, of course, be undesirable.

However, no one could object to a simple list of the Status Committee's recommendations for tenure for the entire community to see. The- community will

discover, through rumors what the recommendations were. And it certainly seems absurd of an institution of higher learning to depend on rumor communication to inform its members of certain decisions.

Why does the administration, (an open administration) believe such a communication process is the best means of handling such a delicate matter. Surely, if the best interests of the faculty are considered, the administration would desire that a proper listing of the recommendations of the Status Committee be revealed to the students.

To the administrators who feel rumors carry no real weight or have no real consequences for the persons involved, we offer the following rumor: A certain administrator tends to make many business calls to one of the finest ski centers in the United States.

Another possible rumor: Some of the funding for the new physical education plant has found itself being used for#. carpeting in condemned Van Raalte Hall.

As one can see, rumors can cause unnecessary pain and turmoil for individuals.

Rumors do cause unnecessary tribulation and embarrasment. There is no reason why Hope's student body must run around like school children to discover the Status Committee's recommendations. Although the issue of tenure is a very difficult and complex situation, we recommend that a student be placed on the S u t u s Committee as a non-voting member.

The student can be not only the means of information for the student body, but also serve as vocal representation beyond the too-often forgotten student evaluations of faculty.

Letters

Demarest defended The men of Durfee wish to express their support of Gary Demarest and the job he has been doing in our hall. We feel he has successfully helped us this year to achieve a closeknit community atmosphere, and for this we thank him. It was surprising to find out that he had been relieved of his duties as head resident of our hall for next year.

Most of us had already turned in our requests for Durfee as our housing next year, when we found out Gary was not going to be our head resident. All of us who requested Durfee did it under the premise that Gary was going to be there, and now that it is too late we find that Gary will not be here after all.

This decision affected all of us at Durfee, so it would seem that in some way we should have been conferred^ with in making the decision, or at least the decision could have been made public soon enough so that we would have the opportunity to change our housing requests for next year.

The reason we feel so strongly about this is that as the student handbook says, our housing experience should be "an integral part of our college experience," meaning it should help us to grow as people; and the only ones who really know whether this was achieved are us.

Blacks thank contributors The Black Coalition would like to thank all the individuals and organizations who contributed to Joanne Little's defense and the Southern Poverty Law Fund. Response has been good. Thanks again for your support.

The Black Coalition

So, we feel that next time in any situation when the people who will be ultimately affected, the students, then, should have a chance to participate in the decision.

We feel it was unfortunate that things happened as they did not only because we had no chance to participate in the decision, but also because next year Gary will not be with us and undoubtedly, as Gary leaves, so will a part of the closeknit community he has built at Durfee.

New student input sought Hope College's student government has been criticized for the past year, and now even the new constitution and congress are being blasted before they even get a chance to be employed. I disagree with those who state that the students will never have a say in what goes on here at Hope.

If this new system is given its chance, with the proper leadership, not only will it add new student input but it will also get the action so desperately needed. The closed-door policy of so many things that effect us directly has got to be changed.

This so-called "community" of which we are a part functions more on the level of an* organization in which the role of a student is at the bottom of the ladder. The answer is not an overthrow of everything that exists, but a greater effort to be open and to let the students know what is going on.

What we need are not politicians or rabble-rousers, but clear thinking people who, representing the students, are creative enough to come up with new ideas, open enough to listen to students' opinions, and finally resourceful enough to get action.

This is what we should be looking for in our candidates for the coming elections on the 23rd, and next fall in choosing our representatives. Your vote is the first move to making yourself heard.

M't femdkwaM An IRS fantasy Š1974, The Los Angeles Times Syndicate Every year around tax time I have a fantasy about the IRS. Last year my fantasy was that I made a gross error in favor of the government and had overpaid my taxes by such a large sum that I received a personal visit from the Commissioner of Internal Revenue who handed me a briefcase filled with new $100 bills.

IN MY dream the Commissioner told me, "You are a great American and I wish we had more like you. Take this small token of our appreciation plus 6 percent interest." (He handed me another package of bills.)

I recall that I protested, saying that the government needed the funds more than I did. But the Commissioner was adament.

"We checked your return carefully and we could not in good conscience accept all the money you paid in taxes. You refused to take any deductions for business or entertainment or even for your family. My people were so impressed by your honesty as well as the neatness of your tax form that they called it to my personal attention. Not only am I authorized to present you with these funds but I am also awarding you the IRS Medal of Honor with an Oak Leaf Cluster-the highest decoration the Service can award."

HE KISSED me on both cheeks.

This year my fantasy is far more interesting. After reading that the IRS had used undercover women informers to investigate the sex habits of those suspected of cheating on their taxes, 1 worked out the following scenario.

I SEND an anonymous letter to the IRS saying: "Buchwald has a secret numbered bank account in Switzerland and sends a courier over to Geneva every month with a suitcase full of cash. A full investigation of his activities might produce astounding results.

"P.S. He is partial to blondes and is a leg man."

THE IRS Counterintelligence Organization calls a special meeting. The Chief tells his agents, "We must get the number of that Swiss account. Wiretaps and surveillance have been unproductive. We have no choice but to put Operation Joy of Sex' into action." .. t . .. .

Everyone at the table whistles. "He's very clever," the Chiefs Deputy says. "We can't put any woman informer on to him.

It's got to be someone special."

"WHAT about Sherry Foldout" "You mean Burning Lips, the Passion Flower of Pasadena" "Well have to give her 30 percent of the fine, but it will be worth it. When you're trying to catch a rat in a tax shelter you have to use the most expensive cheese in the store."

THEY CALL in Sherry and tell her, "We don't care what it takes. Stay with him day and night, but get that number."

I won't go into all the details of the rest of the fantasy except to say that Sherry Foldout goes way beyond the call of duty to get my secret out of me. But there is one thing the IRS hasn't counted on.

WITH THE statute of limitations on my tax return almost up, Sherry tearfully confesses to her superiors, "I don't know how to tell you this, but I've fallen in love with him. It's the first time in my life I've ever felt anything for a tax evader. Why didn't you warn me about this I'll never be the same again."

The IRS Counterintelligence Organization calls another special meeting. The Chief says, "Sherry's been compromised.

We'll have to use Fern La Long and tell Astrid Rapture to stand by just in case he does to Fern what he did to Sherry."

ludy Collins'voice, beauty shine through in Judith !

•

by Bill DeBlock Beautiful women have been appearing on album covers for a long time now, but it seems that their beauty most times does not have a direct bearing on the music that rests inside on the vinyl.

THE INNOCENT smile, the long streaming hair, the deep and probing eyes, Judy Collins has them all, and today the least, she looks rather well on the cover of her latest album, simply titled Judith, despite her age.

Judy burst onto the musical scene in the late 60s along with Buffy St. Marie, Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez and all of their imitators. Her roots were folk and this early period of her musical career was heavily into the folky bag of tunes. Her innocence and her crisp clear voice with its simple beauty distinguished her from her peers.

SHE WAS not the strong composer, like Mitchell, or the protester like Baez, but rather she survived by. the interpreting other's songs and doing them beautifully. The early 1970s saw Judy discover and use country western music . . . music that depended heavily on pedal-steel guitar, dobro, harmonica and catchy rhythms.

Wiih Judith, Judy Collings now moves a step beyond fqlkiness, and country western of her earlier life. She moves to an unknown area of music that lies between these two and the sugar-coated pop music of Olivia Newton John, or Helen Reddy, to a sea of moodiness and simple beauty.

JUDITH SUCCEEDS in this aspect because of the production of Arif Mardin. Mardin uses Judy's voice as an instrument that interweaves with her piano and

Letters cont.

Evans' essay questioned The anchor essay "Student Researches Drinking in Dormitories" by Mr. Larry Evans was totally unfounded in content and disturbingly narrow in scope. One doesn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Mr. Evans purports to present a valid case in advocacy of oncampus drinking, a legitimate issue which certainly deserves better treatment than that afforded it in this "essay."

Mr. Evans' work is supposedly based upon the prevalent attitudes of a five score body of Hope students. The author unwittingly undermines the very foundations of his case by failing to document and deliniate that collection of persons.

Mr. Evans is delinquent in listing age, gender and campus housing breakdowns. Though hopefully to the contrary, the men's half of Kollen Hall may well have been his sole source of "statistical" information.

But it is not merely at the onset of the essay where a credible case is failed to be drawn up.

Mr. Evans is guilty of misusing his "data" and filling his piece with meaningless personal injections.

When he does employ his figures; e.g., "five out of six students claim that the non-drinking regulation is not enforced by the R.A.s in their campus quarters," he is guilty of conjecturing baseless statements from which to play off from, such as "In any case, a change in the present college drinking policy would certainly take the pressure off RAs, as well as students."

One wonders if Mr. Evans is possessed of serious intent when he seeks to contrive an unexplained and mysterious "pressure" before our very eyes.

He then pushes off into a tangential realm when he claims that in-room drinking would lead to a "more beneficial atmosphere, one of trust and responsibility

rather than mere law enforcement," and later paradoxically follows with " . . . if rowdyness does occur, we have RAs who can reason with the culprits."

Mr. Evans has no means of predicting the c j e g r e e of rowdyism that would exist with the abolition of the status quo, a nullification that could very well lead to the addition, and not the assumed removal, of RA "pressure." The author is totally negligent of this inherent possibility.

One also has to wonder if the gentleman is speaking strictly to his "friendly ice cold mug of beer with the boys" or is somehow being governed by typical freshman eccentricities. Mr. Evans surprisingly seems to believe that the moderate drinking he advocates runs against Christian principles.

Is he thus speaking toward that "romantic glass of wine" or rather toward gettin' down on a case of Strohs? Mr. Evans does not clarify his intent.

The author finishes with some beautifully unfounded statements; e.g., " A q u i n a s . . . has recently adopted this free policy and has not experienced any difficulties;" "the loss of donations would have little significance to the school's budget;" and "most high church officials do not care about which policy Hope adopts one way or the other." The last statement reads like a bad line out of the National Enquirer. Should we laugh or cry?

Many, many Hope students feel the need for a revision of the present policy governing the oncampus consumption of alcoholic beverages. The rule is antiquated and creaks louder with each passing day.

But Mr. Evans, one has to do it right. It's action leading to a pilot program that is needed, not useless clamoring for the abolition of a solidly entrenched regulation.

Mr. Evans, wake up and smell the coffee.

the reassurance of Judy's beautiful goodnight wish.

One song on the album that seems completely out of place is the Rolling Stones' (Jagger, Richards) "Salt of the Earth." The song is a loud, reckless, rocking song that seems a little out of character with the moodiness of the album. Judy carries the song off well, but I doubt if her interpretation is sincere.

SHE SEEMS like she's reassuring herself of her success instead of singing the woes of the downtrodden and pitiable. For a more sincere version, check out Minnie Riperton and the Rotary Connection's cover of "Salt of the Earth."

All in all, the album is beauti-

ful. Its beauty lies in the fact that it is accessable and yet removed.

Each song is arranged and produced to highlight the beauty of Judy. Even though her voice would probably shine through the shabbiest of surroundings, on Judith, she is provided with the best of songs and backgrounds and Judy sings like she never has before.

While Olivia smiles and winks innocently from her album covers, Helen Reddy smiles glibly of commercial success, and Joni Mitchell paints song pictures . . . Judy Collins stares out mystically at the world, while inside on the vinyl, Judith may have them all gasping for some beautiful air.

Letters cont.

Beran's farewell letter Next Wednesday you'll elect new Congress officers. After last night's Congress meeting, I can identify with those who felt Congress should be eliminated.

But, I and some others worked a long time to create something better and with the right leadership it can work. So choose your candidates carefully.

Since there are not many flaming campaign issues this year, note these for examination. During the past year the condemned and to be torn down Van Raalte Hall glows with new renovations.

I can see a justification for more office space when it is available. But does second floor Van Raalte merit new carpet and paint, costing hundreds and hundreds of dollars?

The admissions house also boasts new furniture and carpets.

At this time period this expenditure demonstrates a real need for and assessment of priorities for building improvements.

For example, Durfee Hall has been an echo chamber since it was built. The typical response when questioning why it wasn't carpeted or why ceiling tiles weren't put up is "no money."

If the carpets in 2nd floor Van Raalte were torn into strips, all

the excellent studio musicians backing her. Her voice is somber when needed but yet soars on occasion.

To say that Judy stops flirting with country music on the album wouldn't be true, but she very tastefully and delicately interprets "The City of New Orleans," (the tune made popular by Arlo Guthrie) and the "Lovin' of the Game." Both tunes rely on prominent steel guitar, dobro and harmonica backing, but the crisp airiness of the voice echoes cool mountain air and not Nashville twang.

OF THE TWELVE songs on the album, Judy writes three of them. "Houses" on side one captures a beautiful mood of escapism. She sings of escape to youthful dreams.. . . "You were always flying . . . Nightingale of sorrow . . . with rainbows on your wings" Judy's vocal is simple with the backing orchestra adding the dynamics to this "bird's tune."

"Song for Duke," is also a beauty. "1 didn't know the man . . . Even though his music filled my life . . . As it has so many others," sings Judy. In her composition, a very moody and somber one, she sings in very beautiful vocals what can only be summed up as a very touching tribute to a great man of music, Duke Ellington. "The man was a hero . . . he played the music of our souls . . . He knew that we all have in u s . . . A place where beauty always grows."

JUDY CLOSES side two with a very biographical song about her son, "Born to the Breed." At age 35, Judy's son is 16 and has run away to become a musician. "Ma, I love you, but I gotta be a man . . . Don't try to find me; Comes a time in a boy's life when he's gotta be a man." Judy understands his desire to run but she misses him, it seems, in this very tender song.

Opening side one, Judy accompanies herself with some delicate piano as she interprets Jim Webb's "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress." The drifting and sad innocence of the vocals cover the words and meaning well and tend to set the tone for the rest of the album.

A PRETTY song from Danny O'Keefe, "Angel Spread Your Wings," proves to be a calypso flavored song with a soaring vocal from Judy and is a personal favorite. Her touching rendition of "Send in the Clowns" from the Broadway hit play A Little Night Music is beautifully simple with soft and touching vocals.

Judy interprets two classics from the last depression era (1930s) "Brother Can You Spare a Dime?" and "I'll Be Seeing You," with a grace and ease. Both tunes reflect the times of ill-fated and misfortunate people and Judy does a masterful job of presenting them.

"PRIVATE SHIPS," by Wendy Waldman, is smooth and dreamy.

The song is a lullabye . . . "Private ships my child . . . Coming to dock at your pillow tonight." The backing strings and harp enforce

the hallways in Durfee could be carpeted. If the college wants to impress incoming students, it would be better done in the classrooms and dorms, not in the admissions house.

Another concern I have is the lack of recognition of the importance of the residence hall as an integral part of the education.

Approximately $100,000 will be spent on salaries for four divisional deans who have no particular expertise in developing links between the residence hall and the classroom.

Part of this large resource could have been better spent on hiring someone to deal with the residence hall programming, interpersonal groups and in general, helping others to gain skills in dealing with conflict, communication and community living.

This is not meant to be a criticism of the work of the current student personnel staff, but a concern for the inadequate size of the administrative staff and expertise in that division.

I hope that youll become involved in these concerns. Collectively you are the major funders of the college, your concern should reflect that.

Student Congress executive hopefuls The following statements were prepared by candidate for Student Congress president Stew Graham in response to an anchor questionnaire.

What are the important issues for Hope's student body next year? Does Hope College need change? Hope College is a nice place, and I like it, but it's short of perfect. I'm not radical, but 1 believe some reform is beneficial and necessary. Change is healthy and often a sign of g r o w t h . . . . I'm for student membership on the Status Committee, review of the core requirements with a move to adopt a divisional distribution requirement in place of the present groupings of required courses, greater usage of students in evaluation of faculty, a commitment to living unit policies uniformly aimed at creating a living experience for students rather than just providing a place to live, clarification of RA roles, making the IFC meaningful by giving it the effective backing of the administration, reform of the structural procedures of student government to make it meaningful and effective, etc. I won't promise the impossible.

Do you believe Student Congress has an effective role in student affairs, and if not what changes do you propose to make the Student Congress stronger in its role in student affairs?

Student government is too often like the love-life of an elephant-a lot of trumpeting in high places, but it takes a few

years to see tangible results. It is a mistake to call for the abolition of student government because of the way it's been conducted on this campus in the past. Evaluate it on the basis of its potential. At its worst, it's a harmless, white elephant; in its best form, it's a lumbering giant, full of potential. Save student government; I've been its staunchest advocate.

Is there a need for student government? It is beneficial to the larger community governance system and the students living under it. It keeps the total system vital: aggregating student demands, giving them expression, and advocating them. If you haven't heard much about student government, it's a sign that it hasn't been doing its job. It needs to keep you informed, so that you can participate meaningfully in its processes; 1 can help to make it meaningful and effective.

What is student government? Not too many people seem to be able to articulate it well, particularly as it relates to the larger community governance structure.

Students have interests, and there must be formal channels to bring about the satisfaction of those interests. As long as there are students, a suitable formal interest group will be required. That's what student government is; Knowing what it is, I know what can be done with it.

Why isn't student government effective? Basic resources are not being used.

There are a lot of good people around; if student government were meaningful.

The following statements were prepared by candidate for Student Congress president Roger Prindle in response to an anchor questionnaire.

What are the important issues for Hope's student body next year?

The most important issue facing the student body is the effective implementation of the new constitution. The new constitution allows for a greater input by the student body as a whole. For this reason I am hopeful that the Congress will be better able to respond to the students.

In the past the major problem has been that the Congress has been too far removed from the students. I have received complaints from students that they don't know who represents them. Under the new representative apparatus this problem will no longer exist. Next year I would like to see progress made in the areas of self-governance, more equitable compensation for student editors, managers, and their staffs, replacement of faculty review with community review, modification of the De Witt Cultural Center, and improvements in the housing situation.

Student editors and managers, at the present time are forced to take a lighter course load in order to fulfill their obligations. Rather than increase salaries, which would boost the activities fee without a resultant increase in returns to the students, I favor a proposal which would grant a tuition waiver for May or June term for these students.

Faculty review, which gives the faculty veto power over what are essentially campus policies should be replaced with Community review, which would consist of students, faculty, and administration. This would leave the decision up to all segments of the Hope community, not a minority.

A report by Kammeraad, Stroop, Van Der Leek Inc. outlined some of the shortcomings of the Cultural Center. The report also contained suggestions on how these shortcomings could be corrected. I feel that it is important for Student Congress to read this report and work toward implementing the suggestions.

It will also be important for the Congress to work with the Dean of Students office in setting up some guidelines for cottage housing in addition to improving dorm life.

Do you believe Student Congress has an effective role in student affairs, and if not, what changes do you propose to make the S.C. stronger in its role in student affairs.

I think that under the new constitution the S.C. will play a more effective role in student affairs. Due to the greater amount of input by the student body expected, I feel that next years Congress will be working with the students not only for the students. I am concerned over the proposed restructuring of the Campus Life Board. The present proposal would put student representation in the minority.

Since the CLE deals mostly with issues concerning student life, I would hope that student representation be increased to 50 percent of the voting membership.

ROGER PRINDLE presidential candidate Do you see any need for administration evaluation by students and faulty? If you do, what specific plans or ideas would you propose to the Hope community?

1 feel that it would be very difficult for students and faculty to objectively evaluate the administration. I would like to see greater input in the decision making practice. At the present time there is an impact-response situation, the Administration makes decisions and the campus responds. 1 would like to see students and faculty in a position where they may make their desires known before the decision has been made. Perhaps they could sit as advisors. This is especially true in the area of development which is a major concern of both students and faculty. An example of what 1 feel was a poor decision was the installation of carpeting and drop ceilings on the second floor of Van Raalte. This building has been condemned and the money could probably have been spent more effectively elsewhere.

The following statements were prepared by candidate for Student Congress president Jim Donkersloot in response to an anchor questionnaire.

What are the important issues for Hope^ student body next year?

As a candidate for the student body president, I will not attempt to impose an issue on you. Issues should be real concerns, not the manufactured thoughts of various candidates competing for office.

An issue which touches almost all of us is where you live on campus. The housing issue is not over; students do have the right to live in a housing unit of their choice which is.not what many of you face for the coming year. New iieas such as Coop Housing should be enoouraged.

STEW GRAHAM presidential candidate they would get involved. I can help to make it meaningful. I can involve students through open forums where they can express concerns and introduce proposals; through participation on committees and task forces without having to be members of the formal Student Congress; and through active petitioning and actual referendum decision-making. It also requires

The next issue which involved us is the curriculum. A proposal was passed this year which provides for students and departments to review courses offered as well as those courses not offered. This proposal should be carried out as a method for improving existing courses and investigating areas of student interest.

Faculty evaluation follows close on this issue's heels. Evaluation of the faculty will serve to protect professors and also to ensure that the quality of teaching is maintained. A task force reported this year that evaluations similar to Student Instructor Report be developed and adopted.

An important project which is before us right now is the new PE Building. Student support is necessary if large donors are to contribute and also to ensure ground breaking next spring. Issues such as selfgovernment and community government will be at a focus. The responsible development of such systems should be given a priority rating if effective student representation is to become a reality. Pre-professional, international, and interest organizations such as an outing club of outdoor sports, should be encouraged to develop the students' extra curricular life. Finally, a most basic concern should be, "will the college work together to resolve these issues?" I would urge any of you to contact me if any questions remain about my stand on these or other topics of concern.

Do you believe Student Congress has an effective role in student affairs, and if not, what changes do you propose to make the SC stronger in its role in student affairs?

Presently the Student Congress has little if any role in student affairs because it has failed to assemble due to the lack of interest and support. The lack of a defined purpose fostered this situation. The new constitution offers a remedy to this problem. For the constitution to be effective, capable leadership is a necessity. Leadership alone, however, is not enough. Student Congress' success depends on people with well thought out ideas and rationales, on individuals who represent the student and can obtain their interest and involvement.

If regular meetings are held, if agendas and decisions are posted, if task forces are established and put into operation immediately, then a consensus may be formed by which we as students will be represented. Issues and decisions which those in student government back, must deal with practical proposals and must be supported by a majority of the students. A working relationship that involves firmness and understanding of all parties concerned must be developed if the proposals are carried out, then Student Congress will carry out a stronger role in student affairs.

Do you see any need in administration evaluation by students and faculty? If you do, what specific plans or ideas would you propose to the Hope community?

Yes, a form of administration evaluation should be conducted by the students and

regular meetings, in regular places, at regular times, with written agendas and posted information and decisions. I don't claim to have all the answers, but 1 know how to provide the effective channels and opportunities for student expression and meaningful participation in meeting student needs and the needs of the larger community-your community.

Do you see any need in administration evaluation by students and faculty? If you do, what plans or ideas would you propose to the Hope community?

Is there a need for administrative evaluation by students and faculty? Definitely.

There is an unquestionable need for input by faculty and students in making administrative personnel decisions which are relevant and important to those concerned. I would not advocate the use of evaluations on a comprehensive, cross-campus basis. I honestly don't believe that every student on campus knows individual administrators well enough to evaluate them. It would render the results questionable. I do believe that it is a mistake to deny knowledgeable students and faculty the opportunity to meaningfully participate in such decisionmaking. This means an open decisionmaking process used over time consistently. The administration can be responsive; they do listen and try to please; they must, however, effectively use their resources: students, faculty, openness and time. I've been very involved in this, and strongly advocate it.

JIM DONKERSLOOT presidential candidate the faculty. The administration controls a budget of some $7,000,000/ This budget affects each and everyone of us whether we are involved in the arts, sciences, humanities, or social sciences. Evaluation may occur on several different levels. The Board of Trustees exercises constant review both formally and informally over administrators and their programs. The important item in this matter is for students to continue to have student representatives to the Board who are representative of the student body, intelligent, sincere, and articulate in their beliefs.

Unhappiness with the administration mirrors the lack of guidance by the three major boards. Parliamentary technicalities and personal biases by certain board members must not stand in the way of resolutions and decisions when issues of concern arise. Lastly, a concept of open administration must be developed where the decision making powers are clear for everyone to see. The system of divisional deans must be clarified for the student body at large.

This can be done primarily by the student body officers who must report the various administrative processes and methods for appealing actions. For the administration to be evaluated and run smoothly, the concept of open administration must be adopted and policy boards must actively take upon themselves their assigned and respective tasks.

The following statements were prepared by candidate for Student Congress first vicepresident Mike Drahos in response to an anchor questionnaire.

What are the important issues for Hope's student body next year?

The main problem facing the new Congress is going to be opening itself and the administration to the students of this campus. It's practically, if not literally, impossible to get into any meetings that directly effect each and everyone of us. If this college is going to be run like a true Continued on following page

see potential for power for Congress c o m m u n i t y all meetings should be o p e n t o the public. "Where does all my m o n e y g o " " J u s t who is it getting these speakers?

I've got an idea for t h e m . " The way to answer questions like these is t o open the books and meetings and give the s t u d e n t s a true and not artificial part in the controls put on them by H o p e College.

A n o t h e r problem along this same line is that the c o m m u n i c a t i o n to the s t u d e n t s has been mighty poor. The new s t u d e n t government is going to have to take steps of letting them k n o w what's going on both on and off campus. Better news bulletins and better distribution of t h e m , minutes of all meetings being made public, easier access to newspapers and other outside news, and close c o n t a c t with the s t u d e n t s are just a few ways of solving this p r o b l e m .

The following s t a t e m e n t s were prepared by candidate for Student Congress first vicepresident Dennis Neinhuis in response to an anchor questionnaire.

What are the i m p o r t a n t issues for Hope's s t u d e n t b o d y n e x t year?

I believe there are three main issues that the s t u d e n t b o d y must consider for the next year. They are as follows: First, if the Hope campus is t o be governed by a c o m m u n i t y self government, then we must consider as to how much power we want the government t o have over us. Whether we want the Congress to be effective device for students t o rule themselves the way t h e y want or wh et h er we want a congress that does nothing but talk and discuss issues, therefore, letting the administration and faculty rule over us and s t u d e n t s having no say about it.

Next, the s t u d e n t s should consider and take a close look at how the S t u d e n t Activities Fee is being spent and wh et h er this is the way they really want the money to be spent for their full college experience.

And last of all, I believe, the s t u d e n t s should take a good and in-depth look at the class requirements and whether they are the fullfilment of a true liberal arts education or whether they are in some fields, excess of it. Then, a f t e r a study is d o n e , the s t u d e n t s should decide what steps should be taken in answer to the results.

D o you believe S t u d e n t Congress has an effective role in s t u d e n t affairs, and if not, w h a t changes d o you propose to m a k e the SC stronger in its role in s t u d e n t affairs?

As far as I can see at this time, the S t u d e n t Congress has not been a direct influence on the role of the s t u d e n t ' s affairs in this past year. But, when we consider the changes which would put S t u d e n t Congress in a better situation for power to d o s o m e t h i n g about it, we must consider that next year we will have a new constitution going into e f f e c t , that will make board and c o m m i t t e e members subject to Student Congress. And if section A 1.4.1.3 of the faculty h a n d b o o k is reworded to the way Student Congress wants it t o be, the n, there will be more student representation on the boards and committees which will give Congress more power.

On this as b a c k g r o u n d , 1 believe it is in best interests of all parties concern, that it would be best to see exactly how much power Congress has n o w , before deciding how much more power to go after.

1) Develope the S t u d e n t Congress into a s t r o n g body that will be listened to by the administration. The new constitution setu p will do a much b e t t e r j o b of representing the s t u d e n t s ' views and ^ j i r e d actions.

The administration w o u l d , then, regard the measures passed by the Congress more seriously t h a n just as " r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s . " 2) Insure an efficient use of the Student Activities Fee, The S t u d e n t Congress has direct control of this money which is used t o support SAC, the anchor, Black Coali-. l i o n , and WTAS, a m o n g others.

3) Discover what the administration's f u n c t i o n s are with t h e intent of greater s t u d e n t awareness and understanding of the administration's role. • 4 ) Work t o w a r d s self-governance where each dorm could set its own regulations

individual case must be studied carefully and the end result must not subject a minority t o the desires of the majority, but likewise the majority should n o t be subjected to being hurt by the minority. A careful plan must be worked out t o satisfy b o t h sides and b o t h sides should be in the meetings and have a say in the decision.

The a r g u m e n t for co-op housing is a good one and if any group in a living complex decide unanimously t o try it, then I think t h e y should be allowed the chance.

But, if the students are against the plan, there is n o way they should be forced to.

This form of housing requires the work of all those involved in it and if there is dissatisfaction with it, there's no way it will work.

Do you believe S t u d e n t Congress has an effective role in s t u d e n t affairs, and if n o t , w h a t changes d o you propose t o make the SC stronger in its role in student affairs?

Our old student government worked as effectively as a match on the m o o n . And if I didn't think this new student government would d o any better 1 would not have decided t o run. The way that it is set up makes it much more representative. I also think these elected people will k n o w they have support behind them in any action t h e y take. Being a new system is one of the main reasons f o r my running. By opening ourselves up t o the student b o d y I think that it can't help but strengthen its roles in student affairs. with regard to hours, for example. This might help more s t u d e n t s feel as if they did live in a " c o m m u n i t y " if they were allowed t o be more responsible for their housing unit.

5) Provide the S t u d e n t Congress a vehicle with which t o involve Hope students in issues of the c o m m u n i t y , state, nationa, and world.

Do y o u believe S t u d e n t Congress has an effective role in s t u d e n t affairs, and if n o t , what changes d o you propose t o make the SC stronger in its role in student affairs?

S t u d e n t Congress can have an effective role; it can be made to work. The new Congress set-up will d o a great deal toward being a more responsive and responsible body of the s t u d e n t s . It will be easier t o get involved in s t u d e n t government and effect change, or just be heard. H o p e f u l l y , this will encourage more s t u d e n t participation because even the best structure w o n ' t work if you haven't got the people to use it.

What are t h e i m p o r t a n t issues for Hope's s t u d e n t b o d y next year I firmly believe that as a liberal arts college, Hope has a dedication to the development of the total self of each s t u d e n t . A s t u d e n t governance system is an integral part of this development. With this in m i n d , I feel the major issues concerning the student b o d y next year will be a continuation in exploring the implementation of self-governance in our d o r m s , and an installation of an administration review.

Self-governance is n o t a dead issue, a lot of people have been doing a lot of hard work behind the scenes in an a t t e m p t t o e d u c a t e and bring across the spirit and ideals of self-governance. 1 feel that within the n e x t t w o years that system will be initiated in our dorms and 1 will work hard t o see that it comes a b o u t .

Do you believe S t u d e n t Congress has an effective role in s t u d e n t affairs, and if not, what changes d o you propose to m a k e the SC stronger in its role in s t u d e n t affairs Many people ask if S t u d e n t Congress has an effective role in s t u d e n t affairs. I feel I can answer a very definite yes t o that question. Especially with the new student c o n s t i t u t i o n which allows for a greater representation of all s t u d e n t s on campus.

The following s t a t e m e n t s were prepared by candidate for S t u d e n t Congress first vicepresident Eric Neiwoehner in response to an anchor questionnaire.

What are the i m p o r t a n t issues for Hope's s t u d e n t b o d y next year?

There is only one major issue this year and that is our new government. All o t h e r issues revolve around this problem. What our government is not going t o give is " P o w e r . " But what we should try to attain for ourselves is self-government which is efficient and effective. F o r the purpose of making our government responsive and responsible is why 1 am running for 1st V-P, for it is his responsibility to take polls, to encourage feedback, to publicize government decisions and policies. Through this office, 1 not only am going to make government efficient, but also give the student b o d y what it will h o p e f u l l y have soon, self-governance. The administration has shown some willingness to try. But what they fear is irresponsible behavior or general anarchy, which can only be disc o u n t e d by our own desire to prove that we are capable of such a task. 1 feel the government as a whole should encourage and develop programs to ensure responsible self-government.

Do you believe Student Congress has an effective role in student affairs, and if n o t , w h a t changes d o you propose t o m a k e the S t u d e n t Congress stronger in its role in s t u d e n t affairs?

What are " s t u d e n t a f f a i r s ? " There are two areas basically: academic and social. If you put the t w o together you may get what is vaguely defined as our " H o p e C o m m u n i t y . " The Beran plan proposed

last year by President Jim Beran was aimed at i n c o r p o r a t i n g the t w o aspects of student life t o g e t h e r . Self-governance can best do this since only students really know what students want. But irresponsible s t u d e n t behavior is what the administration fears.

How could SC solve this dilemma?

Let's imagine that we s o m e h o w were allowed the choice of drinking. In so doing, a few guys get drunk and infringe upon the rights of o t h e r students. What can the victim do? He could get 10 percent of his floor t o sign a petition that is forwarded to SC and the government could then decide on withdrawing the drinking privileges on that particular floor. In other words, make students responsible to students. It is merely an idea to govern self-government, and we can only learn to do by doing. 1 would stimulate and appreciate more ideas from students. 1 want to see positive government, not apathetic government.

The o t h e r dimension of s t u d e n t life is academic, and experience tells me that what we need is more understanding on more requirements. The Dean's office is often t o o unconcerned with truly liberal ideals and curriculum, and too concerned with core requirements which o f t e n h a m p e r , rather than stimulate liberal education.

The last thing is the speakers series, which is the 1st V-P's responsibility. This is truly a unique and educational program. 1 will appoint an ad hoc c o m m i t t e e t o receive everyone's views: left and right, political and nonpolitical. This is an educational o p p o r t u n i t y to learn h o w other people stand in comparison with others and ourselves.

The following s t a t e m e n t s v^ere prepared by candidate for S t u d e n t Congress first vicepresident Dave Teater.

The following s t a t e m e n t s were prepared by candidate for Student Congress second vice-president Cookie Krueger in response t o an anchor questionnaire.

What are the i m p o r t a n t issues for H o p e ' s student b o d y n e x t year?

The first issue is t o identify the role of Student Congress and then t o make it work. 1 feel that Student Congress at present would be most effective through full utilization of its power as a l o b b y .

Under the new c o n s t i t u t i o n . S t u d e n t Congress representatives will have t o be effective and efficient " c o o r d i n a t o r s " of student input in o r d e r for it to attain its goals.

Special consideration ought to be given t o the best m e t h o d s of presenting s t u d e n t ideas t o the administration (i.e., those which are most likely t o insure their support.)

Second, making sure that government on this campus is clean. 1 d o n ' t think that we have anything t o hide and the administration should be that way also. 1 will work to insure that congress next year will be honest and o p e n , and will also work t o p r o m p t the administration to do likewise.

Third, to work toward a modification of faculty review with an emphasis on s t u d e n t participation through congress in choosing faculty m e m b e r s , with regard t o tenure.

The last issue involves an evaluation of student salaries in campus organizations, such as, the anchor, WTAS, the Milestone, and the Opus. At the present time anchor workers average .89/hr., and the WTAS general manager is getting .49&hr. They are serving the campus for little benefit other than the experience.. In this I am not suggesting a larger e x p e n d i t u r e for salaries, but a proposal t o establish courses or internships, f o r credit, in c o n j u n c t i o n with salaries.

Do you believe Student Congress has an effective role in student affairs and if not, what changes do you propose to make the SC stronger in its role in student affairs?

The role of S t u d e n t Congress is state as a basis f o r f o r m u l a t i n g the previous issue, but is also t o be effective and efficient through a c o m m u n i t y e f f o r t in our campus.

'' .

/ i FIGHTING IRISH GET OUTFOUGHT-lt was a battle of the ethnic groups Wednesday afternoon on the playing fields of Van Raalte as the Flying Dutchmen lacrosse team, coached by student Bob Klein, stomped the Irish of Notre Dame 7-6.

Lacrosse Club beats Notre Dame Irish. 7-6 The Lacrosse Club got into the win column this past Wednesday by defeating the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame. The closely contested game was highlighted by the scoring of three goals within the last two minutes, the winning score being made by Terry South with two seconds to go on the clock.

The hitting was crisp and controlled and the crowd responded enthusiastically to well-timed hits made by Bob Klein and Marc Whitlock. The scoring started early.

With two minutes gone in the first period Brian Ellis put the Dutch on the board with an assist from Mark Beaverstad. Later, goals were added by Klein with one, John Clough with an amazing four, and South with the winner.

This is the second time in as many outings against the luckless Irish that Hope has won. The final score was Hope 7, Notre Dame 6.

This was the last home game of the season, so if you missed it we'll see you next spring. The Dutch travel to Albion next Tuesday.

What does America love best?

Well, it's hot dogs, baseball, apple pie and Chevrolet. But at Hope, baseball may be the only favorite.

THE DUTCHMEN'S season looks very encouraging. Stacked with strong pitching and fine hitters, the Dutch returned from their annual spring trip with smiles and anticipation.

The Dutchmen accomplished what they set out to do on their trip through the South. Perhaps the strongest and most satisfying aspect for Coach James Bultman was the pitching. Built around four starters, the Dutchmen pitching staff may be the finest in the MIAA. THE DUTCH are experienced on the mound with junior veterans Gordy Alderink, Dan Van Pemis, and Bob Klomparens back for another year. Sophomore Bill Fobare, a pleasant surprise this season, has pitched excellent ball.

Together, these four hurlers look very impressive and will be vital to the Dutchmen's success this season.

The pitching staff also has fine moundsmen in Paul Stears, Mike Wodja, Bruce Herman and Ken Appell, all freshmen. They give a new dimension to Hope baseball; a pitching staff that is experienced and has talented young newcomers.

HITTING AND speed on the basepaths have been highlights for the Dutch early this season. Kurt Pugh is the leading base thief on a very fast team. Jeff Waterstone led the team down south while batting .413.

Craig Van Assen, Jerry Boose and Jimmy Giles are all batting well over .300. As long as the Dutchmen's speed and hitting remains stable the ball club will have a high-powered offense.

ALTHOUGH SOLID defensively, the Dutch have lapses and defensive errors that have cost the team several games. In the outfield Waterstone and Giles are both veterans with good speed and strong arms. However, the Dutch lost right fielder John Brown in a game with the University of Tennessee.

Brown fractured his wrist crashing into the 30 foot wall which surrounds Engle Stadium.

He will be missed because he was playing well and was an excellent outfielder. Filling the right field spot has been a slight problem for Coach Bultman.

DAVE WATKINS, a freshman, can adequately fill the hole. Bill Webster, another freshman, and junior Jerry Boose have also seen action in right.

Boose, however, will probably see most of his playing time at first base, as regular starter Pat Welch, a senior captain, suffered a pulled hamstring muscle in last Saturday's game with Aquinas.

IN THE infield Craig Van Assen is stationed at second base..

Van Assen has a keen stick matched with a very smooth glove.

At shortstop, Rick McLouth, a sophomore, began the season with a slow start. McLouth is improving at the plate and must become more confident and consistent in the field.

Holding down the comer at third is freshman Steve Lorenz.

Lorenz is big and handles himself well. He had several key hits on the southern trip and now finds himself adjusting to cold weather ball.

BEHIND THE plate, Marty Edema, a sophomore, seems to have charge. Edema hits well and has proven himself as a strong defensive catcher. Freshman Dennis Cuprey was lost for the season with a slipped disc. The Dutch had high hopes for this All-Kalamazoo catcher and will greatly miss his play and enthusiasm.

Kurt Pugh, a senior, will probably be the team's designated hitter. Pugh batted very well in the MIAA last season and will be a large plus in Hope's play this time around.

DEPTH IS the key to Hope's success this year and in spite of the loss of Brown and Cuprey, the Dutch have plenty of it. Todd Richardson, an All-State third baseman from Illinois, was injured in the southern tour but should be back to full strength this week.

John Sloan, a sophomore, plays outfield and catches. Randy Vander Veen, also an outfielder, will see some action. Steve Kupres has been converted from an outfielder to an infielder to help with the injury problem. Chris Krof will back up McLouth at short.

Chris is a fine hitter and may play DH. BILL BOERSMA can play either third or short. Boose will back up Edema when not playing first or DH. This kind of depth, combined with the excellent team morale that the Dutch have enjoyed thus far, could make this a very rewarding year for Coach Bultman and his players.

The Dutchmen opened the 1975 • MIAA season last Wednesday with Alma College. The Scots won the opener 2-0. Mike Bums was the winning pitcher, giving up just one hit, a single to Marty Edema in the third inning.

GORDY ALDERINK took the loss while giving up only two hits.

He was defeated by defensive errors as the two runs scored were uneamed.

In the nightcap, the Dutch put six runs on the board, defeating the Scots 6-0. Klomparens was the winner with Van Pemis relieving in the sixth frame.

EIGHT HOPE players got hits with Boose and Walkins each collecting two RBIs. Giles stole two bases, as Hope beat the defending MIAA champions.

This past weekend Hope split a pair of twin bills. On Friday Fobare pitched a one-hit shutout against Grand Rapids J.C. while Webster connected for a two-run homer.

SATURDAY, against Aquinas, Hope played great ball in the first game, winning 2-1 in extra innings. Alderink collected the win.

In the second game defensive errors snatched the clean sweep from the Dutch. Klomparens started and was relieved by Aiderink who absorbed the loss.

The Dutchmen split yet another twin bill here Wednesday, placing them in a three-way tie for first place in the MIAA. Alma, Hope and Albion all share records of 2-2 in league play. Hope lost the opener 4-3 with Van Pemis receiving his first loss of the season.

IN THE nightcap the Dutch outscored the Britons 6-3. Aiderink picked up his first win in the MIAA. Watkins led the Dutch with two home runs for the day.

Hope will entertain the Lakers of Grand Valley today at 2 p.m. at Van Raalte Field and will play Ferris State Saturday.

Women win in athletics

by Cathy LeBoeuf The women's tennis team defeated Grand Valley Monday 6-3.

This year's team is coached by Karen Page, a coach at West Ottawa High School.

Hope dropped their first two singles, but came back with victories in the rest of the matches.

In singles, winners were Mary Jo Bertch 6-1, 6-2; Trish Snyder 6-3, 6-2; Lorie Shier, 6-2,6-1; and Linda Redford, 6-2, 6-1.

In doubles, Hope lost the first but won the next two. Carol Fret and Ellen Ziegler won 1-6, 6-3, 7-5 and Lian Sing and Chris Covino won 3-6, 7-6, 6-3.

The women's Softball team split a double header at Calvin College Tuesday. In the first game Hope jumped out to a 8-1 lead in the first inning. Hope held the lead throughout the whole game and won 9-6. Winning pitcher was Sharon Kooistra. ( In the second game Hope was hindered by an excellent pitcher from Calvin. Even though the girls did excellent jobs on defense, they were unable to get an offense going. Calvin won 12-4.

Hope's women are coached by Chris Blauwkamp, a graduate of Grand Valley. Blauwkamp expects a good season and was proud of the results Tuesday.

Hope's first home game is Wednesday at 4 p.m. at Maplewood Field. Again, the players of the team hope to have many supporters as they try for their second win against Junior College of Grand Rapids.

Dunlop men are off to a good tennis season The tennis team is off to a good season. They had a winning 4-2 record on their southem tour with wins over Ogelthorpe, Berry, University of the South and Maryville.

A disappointing loss to Calvin, 5-3, and a come from behind 5-4 victory over Albion are the only MIAA matches so far this season.

On Wednesday the Dutch handily beat Grand Valley, 8-1,

bringing their overall season record to 6-4. Playing singles are John Koeppe, John Sinclair, Bob Carlson, Phil Bosch, Greg Van Heest and Dave Bartels.

Koeppe and Sinclair are playing first doubles with the other doubles unsettled, as Coach Doc Green is trying to find the right combinations. The next home match is Wednesday, April 23, against Adrian.
