Van Wylen also announced that he had finished a preliminary draft on his vision of Hope Coll e g e in t h e f u t u r e . T h e manuscript will be presented to the Board of Trustees during their October meeting. Van Wylen stated that the faculty had received a copy, and he requested their input. He then asked Congressmembers who were interested to also review the draft, which numbers some 60 pages, and give their suggestions and comments for its improvement. The floor was then opened for questions, with the sole question coming from Congressmember Ramin Ahmadi about the newly formed South Africa Committee. The committee, a response by the Board of Trustees to a letter from Student Congress on divestment, was formed over the summ e r to e x p l o r e a l t e r n a t e measures that could be taken against the policy of apartheid practiced by the South African government.
Van Wylen responded by saying that the committee m e m b e r s had just been finalized, and they would begin work soon. "That task force has been appointed and will begin to function," stated Van Wylen. Congress spent remainder of their meeting electing m e m b e r s — and some interested students who were present — to the various boards and committees of the Hope governance structure (see tables for designations). The next meeting was set for Thursday, September 24 at 10 p.m. in the Herrlck Room. Congressmembers voiced various concerns which they wished to see on the agenda. These concerns included South Africa, the phone system, purchasing a meal plan for a South African seminary student, the "long term burden of finances of WTHS," parking in the driveway of the old Public Safety building, the Durfee Hall stereo rule, and m a n d a t o r y a t t e n d a n c e in classes. An agenda for the next Student Congress meeting will be included in next week's Anchor.
