A T i m e for Concern

T

H E T I M E HAS C O M E for concern. T h e resignation this week of Dr. William S. Mathis as Dean of Academic affairs came as no surprise to the majority of the campus.

T h e news had been widely circulated before President VanderWerf's official announcement, and the reaction o n the part of students, faculty and administrators was and continues to be o n e of profound disillusionment.

Last September H o p e College began the year with three new m e n in three of the most important positions of the College administration: Director of Development, Dean of Academic Affairs, Director of Business Affairs.

Not even nine months later, William Hender, the Director of Development, and D e a n Mathis have resigned, leaving only Clarence Handlogten, the Director of Business Affairs, remaining with the College.

If these two resignations were unusual incidents on Hope's campus, we might not be so concerned. However, the four years of President Vander Werf's administration have marked a turnover in personnel that can only impeed the progress of this school and damage the educational process.

D

U R I N G P R E S I D E N T Vander Werf's administration, we have witnessed the resignations of two Deans of Men, two Vice Presidents for Academic Affairs, one Business Manager, one Director of Public Relations, one Assistant to the President, o n e Director of Church Relations, one Dean of the College, one D e a n of Academic Affairs, one Chaplain, and one Director of Development. Surely some administrators from the preceding Lubbers administration were expected to resign so that President VanderWerf would be able to find his own g r o u p of men with w h o m he could work. Some may have been unsuitable.

But let's stop kidding ourselves. A good number of highly qualified men have left this College because of internal conflict within the administration. T h e source of this conflict in nearly all cases centers around the President.

W e have always maintained that a degree of conflict is a healthy characteristic of the educational process.

However, when conflict results in a breakdown of communications so se vere that men have n o other choice than to resign, that conflict is destructive to the very educational process we are all seeking to maintain and improve. Because of the present situation, stability, continuity, and leadership have become desirable desir: but rarely found.

R O M D E A N M A T H I S during the past year has come some of the leadership, especially in academic affairs, which H o p e College so desparately needs to insure the stability necessary for growth. H e has won the confidence and loyalty of the entire faculty and many students. W e d o not blame him for leaving, for there is a point beyond which any reasonable man cannot g o when he finds himself in an intolerable situation. H e simply must get out.

T h e gravity of the present situation demands that the present state of instability, bred by the conflict within the administration, be subject for great concern on the part of students and faculty. T h e relationship between the President of H o p e College and the rest of tht College must be examined, and concrete steps must be taken to prevent the present situation from continuing.

If instability is allowed to continue as the distinguishing characteristic of the leadership of H o p e College, it can only have a damaging effect for the students it is committed to educate.

On Hope's T h e a t e r

T

H E H I G H Q U A L I T Y of the student production "The Clouds," appearing in Castle Park Amphitheater last weekend, points to a void that has come into life at Hope College.

Once c o m m o n near-professional theater ofterings have of late been conspicuous by their absence, much to the detriment of our college education.

Viewed as a part of the educational process, which theoretically almost all extra-curricular activities are, the Little Theater has lived up to neither present expectations nor past achievements. It has done little for either the particiapents or the audience.

Part of the problem lies in the plays chosen for production. In years to come pieces such as "What Say They?" and Motherlant's "Queen After Death" may be recognized for their literary and dramatic merit. But for present collegiate audiences they are not as valuable as more established works.

T h e r e is a wealth of dramatic literature that can be tapped for college theater performjances. For examples we need only t^rrt to the plays produced by the Little Theater last year. "Hippolytus," " T h e Fantastiks" and Ibsen's "The Master Builder" are recognized classics which can be put on the college stage. It seems that they would also teach the actors more about the Western dramatic heritage and the subtleties of acting than d o the lesser known pieces we have seen this year. Such plays, however, have not been selected.

A

N U N F O R T U N A T E result of this has been an appreciable loss of student enthusiasm for the college productions. W h e n compared to the fervor that preceeded and followed "The Fantastiks" and "Hippolytus" for

J

weeks, the feeling about recent plays has been insignificant.

If students are to benefit from Little Theater efforts, they must be exposed to works that exemplify the principles of good theater. H o w an English teacher could effectively illustrate a point with reference to "Queen After Death" is difficult to say. T h a t it would be easier using " T h e Master Builder" is obvious.

T h e quality of the performances has also been deficient. In almost all cases the direction has been inadequate and the acting sub-standard. If the plays were to be salvaged at all, it would have to have been with superb interpretation of the works. Unfortunately we have not seen this.

T

H E L I T T L E T H E A T E R has not been without bright spots. T h e program of bringing professional technical advisors to assist in lighting and set design is o n e of the most ambitious in the country. But even this has not improved the dramatic and educational value of the productions, and at times has merely served to accentuate other deficiences. A beautiful, realistic set is only "putting new patches on the old garments" of inappropriate plays and inadequate direction.

Despite the fact that it is not a Palette and Masque product, "The Clouds" is a step in the right direction.

But more must be done. T h e College is preparing to invest a considerable sum of money for new and improved theater facilities in the long-promised Student Cultural-Social Center. If this is to be a profitable expenditure, the Little Theater must again be made a valuable part of the social and cultural life of the college.

" Only m o r e respectfully. The task here is to a s k e n o u g h q u e s t i o n s a n d the right q u e s t i o n s s o that the s o u r c e of the news will give a complete account. Sometimes it's a s e a s y as simply f i n d i n g out what h a p p e n e d or will h a p p e n , but it r a r e l y stops there. The g o o d reporter l o o k s behind the b a r e facts for a n interp r e t a t i o n , a r e a s o n why things a r e the w a y they are. And the g o a l of it all lies in just this: to tell others a b o u t it.

The fun and g a m e s begin when that cesspool of i n f o r m a t i o n , the r e p o r t e r , sits b e f o r e the k e y b o a r d of a typewriter, and trys to report his s t o r y .

ONE BIG, HAPPY FAMILY—See the scowling people around the table. They are copyreaders (1. to r.) Carol Koterski and Janice Bakker. They are scowling because they have to find all the mistakes the reporters made. If they miss one, the managing editor, George Arwady, (standing) gets angry. Now, is that nice?

O R E N K I E R K E G A A R D h a s written: " T h e lowest depth to w h i c h p e o p l e c a n sink before God is defined by the word ' j o u r n a l i s t . ' If I were a father a n d had a d a u g h t e r who was seduced, I s h o u l d not d e s p a i r over her; Iwould h o p e for her salv a t i o n . But if I h a d a son w h o b e c a m e a j o u r n a l i s t and continued to r e m a i n one for five y e a r s , I would give him u p . " Every d a y for 2 9 to 3 0 weeks of the y e a r 3 0 to 4 0 H o p e students court d a m nation, and their flirtation is w o r k on the Hope College a n c h o r . K i e r k e g a a r d ' s adm o n i t i o n s to the c o n t r a r y , these students m a y spend as little as two h o u r s in the case of a cub reporter on a m i n o r story o r as much a s 5 5 h o u r s in the case of a m e m b e r of the editorial b o a r d .

And s o m e h o w , m i r a c u l o u s l y , by s o m e divine stroke of Providence it seems, each week 2 , 2 0 0 printed copies of their work a p p e a r on the c a m p u s on F r i d a y at 2 p.m.

T h e whole j o b is a kind of hell, a hell in a very small place—the a n c h o r office.

Each m e m b e r of the staff is r a c i n g to beat a deadline, and when it isn't m a d e the fires a n d ire g r o w hotter a n d s t r o n g e r in that very small place.

M a k i n g the Story List The torment begins on F r i d a y aftern o o n at 4 when the editorial b o a r d meets to p r e p a r e a story a n d picture list for the next issue a n d look o v e r the last week's issue. At this meeting, unless in class o r asleep in bed, a r e George A r w a d y , the m a n a g i n g editor; T o m H i l d e b r a n d t , the news editor; Pat Canfield, the feature editor; Dick A n g s t a d t , the l a y o u t editor a n d chief p h o t o g r a p h e r , a n d 1.

Amidst c o m p l a i n t s a b o u t the missed t y p o in the editorial and the two head-

lines that were butted together o n t h e s p o r t s p a g e , we l a u n c h into a n o t h e r issue. T o m H i l d e b r a n d t b r i n g s in a list of c o m i n g events o n the c a l e n d a r which he thinks we o u g h t to cover, a n d then the fires begin to flare a little.

The m a j o r i t y of the news which the a n c h o r reports is never listed officially o n a n y c a l e n d a r , a n d it is the responsibility of each editor to be a w a r e of w h a t ' s h a p p e n i n g on the c a m p u s . Simple? T r y it. Every c o n v e r s a t i o n becomes a potential story for the p a p e r , for w h a t each article a i m s at is presenting the total picture of what h a p p e n e d or will h a p p e n .

Hey -

What's H a p p e n i n g ?

And so, the c o n v e r s a t i o n will r u n something like this: " H e y , one of the girls in V o o r h e e s told me they're g o i n g to picket the President's h o u s e a n d protest the fire conditions."

"Well, get b a c k to her a n d find out when t h e y ' r e g o i n g to d o it a n d we'll send Satch ( o n e of o u r p h o t o g r a p h e r s with the likely last n a m e of P a g e ) to get a pix." " D i d you g u y s notice that fraternity r u s h is d o w n this semester over last y e a r ?

News editor Hilde writes notes to each of the reporters, e x p l a i n i n g what the story is, what it involves, w h o m to see, and then with a pessimistic sneer, he writes very firmly: " D e a d l i n e : 3 p.m., T u e s d a y . "

Some 2,()()() people will d e p e n d on his account of a n event to form their o p i n i o n s o r o r d e r their lives. The relative weight which he gives to s o m e item of news a g a i n s t a n o t h e r is a matter of j u d g m e n t a n d insight, and the truth is what he seeks to b r i n g to his readers.

P e r h a p s it's the p o w e r of sitting before that k e y b o a r d or the sense of integrity in b r i n g i n g the truth o r a p o r t i o n of it to o t h e r s that m o t i v a t e s a reporter.

Into the "Very S m a l l Place" T h e power wielded and the j o b done, he b r i n g s the article d o w n the s t a i r s into the b a s e m e n t of G r a v e s , into a now rather dirty, very small place, a n d a n n o u n c e s : " W h e r e d o I put this?"

Hope Committed to In Loco Parentis Editor's note: This is the second of two crticles written by Bruce Ronda dealing with the issue of college authority based on in loco parentis.

By Bruce R o n d a anchor Editorial Assistant T h e Mope College a d m i m s i r a t i o n position o n in l o c o p a r e n t i s is b y no m e a n s unified. While Dr. C a l v i n V a n d e r W e r f , President of the College, H e n r y Steffens, T r e a s u r e r a n d Vice President, a n d Academic Dean William Mathis all a g r e e d that the school d o e s s t a n d in l o c o p a r e n t i s , a p o s i t i o n especially useful w h e n a s t u d e n t is in legal difficulty, there w a s s o m e disagreement over further extensions of the policy.

W H I L E DR, V A N D E R W E R F a n d Mr. Steffens noted the need for rules to aid in the m a t u r i n g p r o c e s s , Dr. Mathis prop o s e d that rules themselves a r e the worst w a y of e n c o u r a g i n g m a t u r i t y . The Academic Dean f u r t h e r s u g g e s t e d that the quest i o n i n g of rules is educative, a n d n e v e r the rules themselves, a l t h o u g h they m a y act as c a t a l y s t s in the attack.

BRUCE RONDA All three a g r e e d t h a t the c o n s t i t u e n c y of the college ( t o w n s p e o p l e , c h u r c h m e m bers, p a r e n t s of students, a n d a l u m n i ) p l a y a l a r g e role in the m a i n t a i n e n c e of a c o m p l e x a n d extensive set of rules, but Dr. M a t h i s s a i d that all we (the college c o m m u n i t y ) really owe o u r c o n s t i t u e n c y is the responsibility of setting p e o p l e free f r o m stifling leg alis m a n d intellectual stagnation.

Ideally, the a d m i n i s t r a t o r s noted, the rules u n d e r which a student places himself u p o n a g r e e i n g to attend the college s h o u l d be d e t e r m i n e d by a c o n t i n u i n g three w a y a d m i n i s t r a t o r , faculty, student c o n v e r s a t i o n , but Dr. M a t h i s pointed out that in reality both r e g u l a t i o n s and a c a d emic f r e e d o m on c a m p u s a r e d e t e r m i n e d t h r o u g h a series of c o m p r o m i s e s a n d evas i o n s between college a n d c o n s t i t u e n c y .

P E R H A P S T H E MOST R E V E A L I N G statement of college policy c o n c e r n i n g the a g r e e m e n t m a d e between student a n d H o p e College can be seen in the letter sent to s o m e of the C h a p e l Slip Retainers w h o were p r o t e s t i n g c o m p u l s o r y chapel this semester. In p a r t , the letter r e a d s as follows: " Y o u a r e a w a r e that H o p e College is a n i n d e p e n d e n t college, a c o m m u n i t y with which i n d i v i d u a l s of their own volition a s s o c i a t e themselves. The College as a n entity h a s the r e s p o n s i b i l i t y for estab l i s h i n g its p u r p o s e s , p r o c e d u r e s , rules, a n d r e g u l a t i o n s for s t a t i n g these c l e a r l y for the p e r u s a l of those interested in affili a t i n g with the College. . . . " A student w h o registers at H o p e College v o l u n t a r i l y c o m m i t s himself to the legal a n d m o r a l c o m m i t m e n t s of the College. In s h o r t , the student a n d the College enter into a n a g r e e m e n t that the College will fulfill its responsibilities a n d that the s t u d e n t will expect the College to do so. .

N u l l i f y i n g the a g r e e m e n t that the s t u d e n t be a p a r t of the College c o m m u n i t y , its policies, p r o c e d u r e s , rules a n d r e g u l a t i o n s , c a n o n l y m e a n that the student is no l o n g e r a p a r t of the College c o m m u n i t y , that he is. o p e r a t i n g o u t s i d e the s p h e r e of those t h i n g s that m a k e for c o m m u n i t y . .

It d o e s not w o r k . In fact, the p o e m h a s n o s t r u c t u r e of i m a g e s at all, a n d hence there is no p r i n c i p l e for including or excluding any i m a g e : v o l c a n o , tide, ant-hill, w a r , k n o c k i n g at d o o r s , h i d e - a n d - s e e k , a n d f l o o d s (all s e v e n i m a g e s ext r a n e o u s to the n a r r a t i v e ) a r e e v o k e d in eight lines w i t h o u t a n y a t t e m p t to relate a n y of the i m a g e s to e a c h o t h e r o r to a n y t h i n g else in the p o e m .

Then in Part II the i m a g e r y turned a p o c a l y p t i c for me: stones s p e a k at a final j u d g m e n t a s passion a n d t e r r o r dissolve.

It is the m o s t e x a s p e r a t i n g piece in the b o o k b e c a u s e of its m a n y adjectives ( " l i t t l e b a l l e d f i s t , " " s o f t m e l l o w t h u d , " a n d " f r u s t r a t e d hysterical w a i l " ) , b e c a u s e of its lack of focus a n d b e c a u s e of its vacill a t i n g center of c o n s c i o u s n e s s .

She w o u l d not h a v e f o r g o t t e n , surely, o r if she h a s , s u c h forgetting s h o u l d be m a d e credible. When we a r e told later that the father is d e a d , that fact seems to c o n t r a d i c t this memo r y . The s t o r y needs at least ano t h e r rewriting.

I hesitate to b r i n g u p J a n e Boum a n ' s " A b s u r d . " If the c h a i r is a n u n r e s p o n s i v e male, a n d if the b r e a s t s t r o k e is what I think it is, a n d if G r a n n y is the old m o r a l i t y , I like the p o e m for its cleverness.

B E C A U S E COX instructed m e a s he did, these a r e m y r o u g h notes f o r a review. Like m a n y pieces : n Opus and Loci (the lite r a r y m a g a z i n e of m y s c h o o l ) , these r o u g h notes w o u l d h a v e imp r o v e d with rewriting. Just as I find m o r e to s a y b e c a u s e s o m e pieces in Opus a n d L o c i a r e not rewritten often e n o u g h , s o I h o p e y o u will find m o r e to s a y a b o u t m y notes t h a n if I h a d rewritten them.

She is a n a r d e n t t r a v e l e r , h a v ing visited m a n y c o u n t r i e s in E u r o p e a n d Asia. As a n excellent p h o t o g r a p h e r , she h a s a n extensive slide l i b r a r y of her m a n y tours. As s h e enters retirement with h e r sister, a l s o retiring this y e a r , we c a n a n t i c i p a t e t h a t m o r e t r a v e l will b e in store.

We p a y t r i b u t e to the dedicated service Mrs. S c h o o n h a s r e n d e r e d t h r o u g h H o p e College f o r these m a n y years.

T h e y e a r 1 9 4 6 m a r k e d the end of a w a r a n d the b e g i n n i n g of a new era for H o p e College. Enrollment tripled as men released b y the a r m e d services a n d e n c o u r a g e d by the G.l. Bill of Rights descended o n the c a m p u s in droves.

F a c e d with the task of ass e m b l i n g a faculty to teach these s t u d e n t s , the President recognized a g r e a t new interest in e c o n o m i c s a n d business. T h e a p p o i n t m e n t of a d e p a r t m e n t c h a i r m a n in this a r e a w a s a c r u c i a l concern.

D W I G H T B. Y n t e m a seemed a logical choice for the position.

An o u t s t a n u i n g student as a n und e r g r a d u a t e at H o p e a n d in his d o c t o r a l p r o g r a m at the University of M i c h i g a n , he h a d disting u i s h e d himself as a p r o f e s s i o n a l e c o n o m i s t in W a s h i n g t o n .

He knew a n d u n d e r s t o o d the c o n s t i t u e n c y a n d the objectives of H o p e College. His f a t h e r h a d s e r v e d as a p r o f e s s o r of science at H o p e for m a n y y e a r s a n d his b r o t h e r s a n d sister were h i g h l y respected m e m b e r s of the a l u m n i .

T h e w i s d o m of that decision two d e c a d e s a g o is o b v i o u s t o d a y .

Dr. Y n t e m a h a s p l a y e d a key role in b r i n g i n g the College t h r o u g h the p e r i l o u s y e a r s of rela-

tive o b s c u r i t y in the late forties to its present level of effectiveness a n d recognition. He h a s s e r v e d with distinction in three a r e a s — f a c u l t y l e a d e r s h i p , research and teaching.

FACULTY LEADERSHIP: N e v e r f l a m b o y a n t but a l w a y s inf o r m e d , n e v e r a g g r e s s i v e but alw a y s d e t e r m i n e d , he h a s g i v e n solidity a n d p u r p o s e to faculty g o v e r n m e n t . He h a s d o m i n a t e d n o o n e but counseled m a n y f r o m the President a n d Vice President to the lowliest f r e s h m a n . In the presence of wild ideas he h a s t h r o w n the cold water of a n a l y sis a n d a s u r e sense of the welf a r e of the College, but in the face of t i m e - c o n s u m i n g d i s c u s s i o n a n d p e d e s t r i a n thinking, his m i n d h a s often p r o d u c e d the new insight, the f r e s h a p p r o a c h , the new w a y to a t t a c k a n old p r o b l e m .

When he s p o k e the faculty listened.

Research: At a time when f a c u l t y r e s e a r c h w a s r a r e at H o p e College, he p i o n e e r e d in p e r s o n a l res e a r c h o n t a x e s a n d in d i r e c t i n g a m a j o r s t u d y of u n e m p l o y m e n t c o m p e n s a t i o n which was requested b y the M i c h i g a n Senate a n d fin a n c e d b y the Merrill F o u n d a t i o n .

In the c a s e s when the c o u r t ruled the defendent guilty, t h e c o r rective m e a s u r e s levied b y the court v a r i e d . T h e m a j o r i t y of punishments placed the offender on social p r o b a t i o n . In o n e case, students were s u s p e n d e d f r o m school for a week. Other p e n a l ties exacted were fines, w o r k assignments a r o u n d c a m p u s , and the writing of p a p e r s .

T H E P U N I h H M h . i v r S meted out, h o w e v e r , were designed as much as p o s s i b l e to a p p l y to the i n d i v i d u a l c a s e at h a n d .

Chief Justice Klein p o i n t e d out that the f a c t o r that m a d e s o m e cases difficult w a s the desire to " d o two t h i n g s at once â&#x20AC;&#x201D; be fairly consistent in m e t i n g out p u n i s h m e n t s a n d d o justice to each i n d i v i d u a l c a s e .

" T H E "MOST E X C I T I N G " case of the y e a r , a c c o r d i n g to Shiels, was the Student C o u r t ' s reversal of a decision of p u n i s h m e n t p a s s ed by Dean of W o m e n Isla V a n

T H E L A T T E R CASE high lighted the difficulty of the a p p e a l system working t h r o u g h the N e x u s Committee. In the new Student S e n a t e C o n s t i t u t i o n , appellate j u r i s d i c t i o n p a s s e s to a committee of the three Deans: Dr. William Mathis, Mr. Robert De Y o u n g , a n d Mrs. Isla V a n Eenenaam.

T h e p r o b l e m of j u r i s d i c t i o n in d i s c i p l i n a r y cases which confronted the c o u r t last y e a r h a s been s o l v e d b y a " g e n t l e m a n ' s agreem e n t " between the C o u r t a n d the Dean of Men. Klein a n d Dean De Y o u n g discussed every p r o b l e m as it a r o s e and d e t e r m i n e d whether the C o u r t s h o u l d deal with it.

T h e Chief Justice s a i d , however, that a " m o r e s t r i n g e n t p o l i c y " c o n c e r n i n g which incidents s h o u l d b e c o m e m a t t e r s of Student Court concern was desirable.

K L E I N SAID t h a t two prob l e m s which faced the Court this y e a r were the p r o m p t h a n d l i n g of cases as they c a m e u p a n d the follow-up on a p u n i s h m e n t to see t h a t it is enforced. T h e C o u r t took steps to i m p r o v e enforcement t h r o u g h enlisting the c o o p e r a t i o n of residents a n d a d v i s o r s .

One of the C o u r t accomplishm e n t s this y e a r w a s a m o v e toward the c r e a t i o n of flexible guidelines in the h a n d l i n g of puni s h m e n t for c e r t a i n offenses. The c o u r t created s e v e r a l precedents to g u i d e its s u c c e s s o r s . A fine of $ 2 5 w a s levied for m i s u s e of Slater m e a l tickets. A n o t h e r precedent, s t e m m i n g f r o m the case which resulted in a d e a d l o c k e d N e x u s C o m m i t t e e , h o l d s that a s t u d e n t o v e r 2 1 w h o is c a u g h t d r i n k i n g with m i n o r s is subject to college discipline as responsible for the o t h e r s ' actions.
