Deadline in Oct.

Foreign grant forms due Application deadlines are nearing for students interested in graduate study abroad during the 1973-74 school year.

Students desiring a Fulbright or other grant available through the Institute of International Education should file their applications by Oct. 13 with Dr. Paul Fried, director of international education.

In addition, Fried reported, 24 Marshall Scholarships are available for study in Great Britain. Deadline for Marshall grants is Oct. 23.

HE grants, offered by the U.S. government and foreign donors, provide round-trip transportation, tuition, and maintenance for one

academic year. They are available to 29^ countries.

Fried indicated that students also may apply for one of 2 0 0 scholarships available through the German Academic Exchange Service for graduate study in Germany. These grants include tuition and examination fees, book and baggage allowance, and travel expenses for 10 months, beginning Oct. 1, 1973.

Candidates for Fulbright and other HE grants must be U.S. citizens at the time of application, hold a bachelor's degree or its equivalent by the beginning date of the grant, and have language ability commensurate with the de-

Christ's People to hold 'Christian Unity Week' Christians around the world sing "We are one in the Spirit," an ideal of brotherhood and love which Christ's people on campus will try to bring closer to reality next week with "Christian Unity Week."

AS A F O R M A L aspect of the week, meetings will be held Monday through Friday at 9 : 3 0 p.m. in Dimnent Memorial Chapel.

Speakers, sharing, scripture reading, and singing will comprise the meetings, which will seek not only to unify Christians on campus, but to "provide a time in which we can meet God a n e w , " according to the Ministry of

Christ's People, which is sponsoring the program.

"WE WANT TO emphasize that this is not just for the staff of the Ministry of Christ's People, but for all of Christ's people at Hope," said MGCP staff member Roger De Young.

Dr. Robert Coughenour, associate professor of religion, will speak Monday night on the topic of gifts: "Recognizing gifts God has given us, and using these gifts to glorify our G o d . " THURSDAY night's speaker will be Cal Malefyt, a Reformed Church pastor at the University of Michigan, who will discuss the Holy Spirit in a session entitled "Power to the People."

mands of the proposed study projects.

Marshall Scholarships are available for two years, and cover a personal allowance, tuition, books, and travel fees. Applicants must be U.S. citizens and possess "a keen intellect and a broad outlook."

A conservative Republican Senator and a liberal Democratic Representative will meet to field questions from students and faculty next Friday in a series of debates and discussions entitled "Campaign '72 S y m p o s i u m . " SPONSORED BY the political science department, the discussions will focus on ' T h e American Presidency and the 1972 Elect i o n " and 44 The Work of the Congress." The sessions will begin at 10:30 a.m. and 1:45 p.m. respectively.

Sen. Peter Dominick (R.-Colo.) and Rep. Les Aspin (D.-Wis.) will present 15 minutes speeches at each session, and then devote the remainder of their time to answering questions.

THE MORNING meeting will also feature a panel of three stud e n t s - a Republican, a Democrat, and an I n d e p e n d e n t - w h o will compile and ask written questions collected from the audience.

According to Symposium Chairman Jack Holmes, assistant professor of political science, the Presidency session is designed to expose students to basic issues in the campaign, since " m a n y students simply are unsure of how they are going to vote."

THE A F T E R N O O N session, " T h e Work of the Congress," designed to expose students to different aspects of the legislature, will include queries f r o m a faculty panel, comprised of political scientists from both Calvin and Hope.

Holmes said the Congressional session should be "less partisan

and more academic than the Presidency session." Both meetings will be held in Dimnent Memorial Chapel.

IN ADDITION, partisan lunc h e o n s - o n e for Democrats in Phelps Conference R o o m , and one for Republicans in D u r f e e - w i l l be hosted by student political organizations in order t o recruit workers.

"It is a rare opportunity to have men of the caliber of Dominick and Aspin on campus," Holmes stated. "Aspin was a dynamic front runner in a tight race, and Dominick often debates Sen. Edward Kennedy on the Senate floor."

DOMINICK graduated from Yale University in 1937 and Yale Law School in 1940, has served in the Army Air Corps and his State House of Representatives. He was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1962 and reelected in 1968.

He presently chairs the Republican Senate Campaign Committee. Holmes noted that Dominick "is very interested in Michigan Sen. Robert Griffin's campaign, because he believes the Senate needs Griffin's leadership."

ASPIN ALSO graduated f r o m Yale, although in 1960, and was a member of Phi Beta Kappa. He received his Ph.D. degree in economics in 1965, and is a long-time friend of Assistant Professor of Economics James Henderson.

Aspin also served as economic adviser to former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, and was elected to Congress in 1970.

Considers two proposals

Curriculum first for AAB Curriculum reform will be the major concern this year of the Academic Affairs Board, it was decided at the board's first fall meeting last Friday.

PRESIDENT Gordon Van Wylen stated at the meeting that he really didn't know too much about the core curriculum.

"I was kind of surprised when 1 read in the anchor that the AAB was going to wait until I got here before making any changes in the curriculum," he said.

HE ADDED that he felt the board should invite c o m m e n t f r o m the faculty on possible core curriculum changes. The faculty should also have "a fair crack" at the final d o c u m e n t . Van Wylen said. " A n y changes in the curriculum should be basically the work of the faculty," the President stated. He offered to "grease the skids" of any reform proposal offered by the AAB.

Attempts innovative

CURRICULUM reform study was begun two and a half years ago to determine whether the present core curriculum, established in 1965, should be altered in any way. In 1970 the AAB approved a new core curriculum, which was subsequently vetoed by the faculty.

Chairman of the AAB Dr. Iwin Brink, professor of chemistry, stated that t h e reform proposal offered by Dean for Academic Affairs Morrette Rider would receive top priority, and that the AAB would consider it in sections.

ANOTHER reform proposal, that of Professor of Philosophy D. Ivan Dykstra, will be considered later.

At Wednesday's AAB meeting discussion centered around whether the number of hours in the core curriculum should be reduced.

RIDER STATED that the results of a questionnaire on curriculum reform filled out by the

chairmen of the various departments showed they strongly favored reducing the core curriculum.

He also said that the reduction "is designed to permit the student more flexibility in taking courses outside his m a j o r . " ASSOCIATE Dean for Academic Affairs John Stewart noted that if the curriculum is more flexible, the role of the acacfcmic adviser will become more important.

Brink doubted that advisers would take their jobs more seriously. "A lot of faculty members seem to want to spend their time otherwise," he said.

ANOTHER fear voiced by some members of the board was that the departments might increase the number of hours required for a major if the core curriculum were reduced.

In that case, students would be forced to take more courses in their major fields and have less time for electives.

New May term expands study opportunities

by Paul Tlmmer An innovative dimension has been added to Hope's academic calendar this year: the May term, which will provide opportunities for intensive study in one field which might not be possible during the regular semester.

SCHEDULED to begin May 14, the optional session will offer a variety of courses. Still tentative are political science related trips to the United Nations and Washington, D.C., a geological expedition to the American Southwest, an archaelogical " d i g " in the Middle East, a psychology oriented visit to an animal farm, and a biological trip to t h e Everglades.

among students of the session's potential. Because it is new, he invites everyone to submit ideas for the May curriculum.

"We will do things differently, but most of all, we'll have fun while we learn," he said.

Perhaps if the educational philosophy proves successful, more innovation and e n j o y m e n t will pervade the regular semesters, Williams added.

Other possibilities include an environmental lab, and studies of the Greek Classics, the human nervous system, and the Dead Sea Scrolls.

PARTICIPATING students will receive either three or four credits, depending on the course.

Tuition will be approximately $135, but course related trips will also be paid for by the student.

The intensive study that will occur during the term "will require highly motivated people," Williams commented. "We will be moving at an accelerated rate and devoted concentration will be essential."

ASSSOCIATE Professor of Chemistry Donald Williams, director of the May term, is presently attempting to .create an awareness

WHEN HOPE decided to supplement its calendar with a short but intensive term, it was put at the end of the academic year

instead of between semesters for several reasons.

The person who studies f r o m May through the summer can earn close to a semester's equivalent of credits. In addition. May term courses in other countries can relate directly to some of Hope's summer p r o g r a m s - V i e n n a and Dubrovnik, for example.

UNLIKE THE 4-1-4 calendar, the May term is advantageous because it is not limited by an upcoming semester. Also, faculty who do not participate in the May term or summer school will have almost four months to complete research or writing projects.

Williams noted that a serious hindrance t o May enrollment would be students seeking early summer e m p l o y m e n t . However, he stated, " T h e advantages of having the term in May far outweigh the disadvantages. I invite people to stay and try it."

Students who have suggestions for May term course offerings should contact either Williams or a professor in that field.

Dr. Donald Williams, director of the May term, takes sample from Lake Macatawa, demonstrating one type of research possible during the new session. /.

Noted Indian economist Dr. Mohammad N. Siddigi will lecture on "Recent Developments in South Asia" this evening at 7 in Wichers Auditorium.

Siddigi, whose specialty is economics and Islamic studies, is currently on a U.S. lecture tour sponsored by the Consultative Committee of Indian Muslims in the U.S. and Canada.

He is a member of the economics department at Aligarh Muslim University in India, and serves on the Executive Committee of that institution. He received his B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. degrees from Aligarh.

Beginning Monday, WTAS will air an exclusive mystery serial, ' T h e Fourth Tower of Inverness."

A product of Grunt Records and the ZBS Media Inc., " T h e Fourth T o w e r " consists of 65 daily episodes, broadcast Monday through Friday for 13 weeks, plus specially edited weekend shows which will repeat the action of each previous week.

The story concerns a young man, Jack Flanders, who receives an invitation to visit Inverness from his a u n t . Lady Jowls, the owner of the estate. Upon arriving, he encounters strange happenings at the old Victorian mansion.

According t o the serial's writer and director, Meatball Fulton, " T h e F o u r t h T o w e r " isn't an attempt to recreate the past. Says Fulton, "We've taken the radio drama as an art form and created a totally new, contemporary mystery serial."

WTAS will air the serial weekdays at 8 a.m. and 11 p.m. The edited weekend shows will be aired Sundays at 7 p.m.

In addition, Siddigi has published eight books and 4 0 articles, and is associated with two Indian newspapers.

His visit here is sponsored by the International Relations Club, the economics and political science departments, and the office of International Education.

or security?

Curriculum reform is like a small, dark cloud on the horizon of the Hope community. Sighted several years ago, the cloud remains on the lower horizon as a symbol of f e r t i l i t y to some and a threat of f l o o d to others. But whatever one's prejudices, the belief that academic adjustments are needed is a presupposition that meets w i t h common concurrence.

The faculty, who must diagram the shape academic excellence takes at the college, have f o u n d that recognizing a need for reform is not sufficient motivation for settling the issue. Problems of one sort or another always seem to arise.

anchor editorial One problem is the nature of curriculum reform itself. Even the word " r e f o r m " seems to be a value laden term which often muddies the picture. Adjustment seems a more appropriate word, connoting a fresh approach rather than radical transformation. Unfortunately, a change in terms only clarifies the rigors of curriculum change but does not lessen them.

Curriculum adjustment has become a bone of contention among faculty members that will not be swallowed quickly, and the faculty have shown a lack of will and vision to accomplish the task. The students and administration, while not totally uninvolved in the issue, are awaiting the faculty's decision.

The advent of a new president may prove to be the incentive the faculty need to unite and see that curriculum adjustments are made and accepted. Hopefully, President Van Wylen will use his influence to nudge curriculum adjustment through the Academic Affairs Board and to gain its corresponding acceptance by the faculty.

He need not be dictatorial about this: suggestions for possible academic adjustment and a statement of his o w n position on the matter would be sufficient.

While Hope's new president has his sensitive task for the achievement of curriculum adjustment, the faculty must come to grips w i t h the t w o basic issues of the whole affair. On one side is the issue of job security, which comes to life as an accom-

panying factor of curriculum adjustment.

This issue tends to affect the faculty's will t o adjust the curriculum.

O n the other side appears Hope's philosophy of education and the faculty fulfillment of that philosophy. This other side tests the imaginative vision of the faculty.

T o a large extent, if the will or vision of the faculty is less than excellent, curriculum adjustment will smolder in the confines of the A A B where Dr. Van Wylen put it this week.

Last May, a memo to department chairmen and high administration officials was issued from the Dean for Academic Affairs' office, concerning the touchy topic of job security for faculty members in the event of curriculum adjustment. The memo tacit l y assumed that flexibility in the curriculum and a reduction of requirements would automatically reduce faculty job security.

Predictability in teaching loads, hiring practices, and schedule planning would supposedly be reduced by increased f l e x i b i l i t y .

Since unpredictability risked job security, flexibility was unacceptable.

There is no need to defend one academic adjustment proposal over another at this point. But what the faculty needs to decide is where its will lies: whether it w o u l d rather compromise possible academic benefit for the sake of personal security and some individuals' jobs.

Another important element of curriculum adjustment is the faculty's attitude toward Hope's philosophy of education.

To assume that the term "academic excellence" is defined by all faculty members in the same way is erroneous. There are several varying viewpoints among the facult y as to what constitutes a Christian liberal arts education. Some are unaware that a knowledge of the person of Jesus Christ can enhance, f u l f i l l , and enliven academic abilities.

Curriculum adjustment does not order priorities but priorities order curriculum adjustment. With different sections of the faculty holding fundamentally different opinions as t o what makes up a Christian liberal arts education, and other sections having no opinion at all, vacillation is inevitable. It is unfortunate that, while everyone concurs on the need for academic adjustment, the why for the change and the how of that change are often disputed.

Readers speak out

Nix on Nixon With respect to Mr. Holmes' letter (anchor, Sept. 15) extolling President Nixo n , 1 would like to add a few c o m m e n t s . In the first place, I feel that his use of t h e w o r n - o u t a r g u m e n t , " H o w long has it been since a war started or escalated u n d e r a R e p u b l i c a n A d m i n i s t r a t i o n ?

I fail to see t h a t this in a n y way e x o n e r a t e s President N i x o n . F o u r years ago he promised to end t h e war, and we are still waiting.

He h a s n ' t been able t o d o so y e t , and I can't see giving him and his b o m b i n g raids f o u r m o r e years t o t r y . This b r o k e n p r o m ise, like all t h e o t h e r s , has n o t h i n g to d o with a n y a d m i n i s t r a t i o n b u t President Nixo n ' s - it was his bag, and he blew it.

Finally, I can't see crediting President Nixon as being t h e o n e w h o i m p r o v e d relations with China. China was ready t o c o m e t o g r o u n d s with t h e U.S., a n d to m e this was a decision i n d e p e n d e n t of t h e man in t h e White House. P e r h a p s if P r e s i d e n t s K e n n e d y and J o h n s o n had not talked long ago of improving relations w i t h C h i n a , Nixon w o u l d n o t have b e e n h a n d e d it as h e was.

A l t h o u g h George McGovern may not be a knight in shining a r m o r , not even an e n t i r e Crusade would convince m e t h a t t h e President should be re-elected.

Why Hoffa couldn't go

by A r t Buchwald Copyright © 1 9 7 2 , Los Angeles Times Syndicate

T h e r e has been criticism in g o v e r n m e n t circles over t h e h a n d l i n g of J i m m y H o f f a ' s trip to H a n o i , w h i c h was canceled at the last m o m e n t .

F O R S O M E R E A S O N the White H o u s e , the Justice D e p a r t m e n t and the State D e p a r t m e n t , as well as H o f f a ' s lawyers, all had d i f f e r e n t versions as to w h a t actually happened.

By piecing t o g e t h e r a bit here and a bit there, I t h i n k I can n o w reveal what t o o k place.

When J i m m y H o f f a was serving t i m e in prison, he decided to study t h e V i e t n a m e s e language, in h o p e s t h a t s o m e d a y w h e n he got o u t he could organize t h e truck drivers along the Ho Chi Minh Trail in the T e a m sters U n i o n .

SOMEHOW W O R D got to the Whit^ House of H o f f a ' s p r o f i c i e n c y in the language. (It was first believed t h a t H o f f a ' s cell was bugged, b u t this was later denied.)

In a n y case a White House staffer at a meeting said: " W h y d o n ' t we send H o f f a to Hanoi t o u n i o n i z e t h e N o r t h V i e t n a m e s e truck drivers? T h e n he could call a strike and cut off all t h e supplies to the s o u t h . " " W h a t a great i d e a , " President Nixon said. " H o w d o e s it s o u n d to y o u , H e n r y ? " H e n r y Kissinger replied, " I t d o e s n ' t b o t h e r me, as long as I can k e e p going t o Paris." " B u t H o f f a is in p r i s o n , " a n o t h e r White House s t a f f e r said. " T H E P R E S I D E N T can parole h i m , " s o m e o n e suggested. "We'll leak the story that t h e President is paroling H o f f a so t h e T e a m s t e r s will s u p p o r t the R e p u b l i c a n s during t h e election year. No o n e will k n o w the real reason is so he can go to H a n o i . " A call was put in to t h e a t t o r n e y general, w h o said it would be n o p r o b l e m to parole H o f f a , but h e raised t h e q u e s t i o n as to h o w H o f f a could get a passport to leave t h e c o u n t r y . " W E N E V E R T H O U G H T of t h a t , " a White House assistant said. "We'll have t o

i n f o r m Bill Rogers, t h e secretary of state, of o u r plans." " A b s o l u t e l y n o t , " Kissinger said. " I f we tell Rogers a b o u t this, we'll b e setting a bad p r e c e d e n t . He'll w a n t to k n o w a b o u t o t h e r things w e ' r e planning to d o in foreign affairs, which are n o n e of his business." " H E N R Y ' S R I G H T , " a W h i t e House staffer said. "If we clue in Rogers on this, he'll be c o m i n g a r o u n d all the t i m e wanting t o k n o w what w e ' r e c o o k i n g u p . A little knowledge f o r a secretary of state is a dangerous t h i n g . " T h e President asked, " W h y c a n ' t H o f f a just go d o w n to t h e passport o f f i c e and apply for a passport w i t h o u t Bill k n o w i n g about it?" " G o o d t h i n k i n g , Mr. P r e s i d e n t , " J o h n E h r l i c h m a n , his special assistant, said.

T H E M A C H I N E R Y was put into motion. Justice got H o f f a his parole, Kissinger told t h e N o r t h V i e t n a m e s e H o f f a was coming and t h e White H o u s e press office prepared an a n n o u n c e m e n t revealing t h e President's 1 , 9 8 7 t h secret plan t o get us out of V i e t n a m . / But s o m e b o d y g o o f e d , and the ann o u n c e m e n t was m a d e b e f o r e H o f f a t o o k off f o r his mission.

Because Secretary Rogers was not in on the plan he t h o u g h t s o m e o n e in the passport o f f i c e had erred a n d , w i t h o u t checking with t h e White H o u s e , Rogers canceled H o f f a ' s passport and a n n o u n c e d that t h e T e a m s t e r boss c o u l d n ' t go.

T H E P R E S I D E N T was urged t o overrule Rogers but decided against it when t h e secretary of state called angrily and said that if Hoffa w e n t t o Hanoi, he, Rogers, would organize a R e p u b l i c a n s f o r McGovern c o m m i t t e e . With only a 3 4 percent lead in the polls, N i x o n c o u l d n ' t a f f o r d this, so he r e l u c t a n t l y denied he knew anything about Hoffa's trip.

It was a great b l o w t o H o f f a , not t o m e n t i o n t h e White House. But w o r s t of all.

President Nixon n o w has t o c o m e up with a new secret plan t o get us out of V i e t n a m .

Ovations, yawns Editor's note: The f o l l o w i n g impressions of the Ravi Shankar concert held Monday night are submitted by Bud Thompson.

I c o u l d n ' t believe it w h e n I saw his n a m e in t h e C o n c e r t Associat i o n f o l d e r . I still d i d n ' t believe it w h e n I was driving t o t h e Civic C e n t e r M o n d a y night.

E V E N AS 1 sat in m y seat and the lights were d i m m i n g I d o u b t e d that it w o u l d really h a p p e n . Not until he walked out o n stage did I believe t h a t Ravi S h a n k a r had c o m e t o H o l l a n d , Michigan.

T h e C o n c e r t Association referred t o him as the " m a j o r reason w h y I n d i a n music in America has c o n t i n u e d to d e v e l o p and o u t g r o w the criticisms of being 4 just a f a d . ' " It is w i t h o u t q u e s t i o n t h a t S h a n k a r almost single-handedly b r o u g h t Indian music t o t h e West e r n w o r l d and t a u g h t a musically n a r r o w - m i n d e d p e o p l e to apprecia t e r a t h e r t h a n just passively listen t o t h e music of his c o u n t r y .

A N D HE IS still teaching. He i n t r o d u c e s each of his songs with a title, h i s t o r y and e x p l a n a t i o n of its musical s t r u c t u r e . But there is still a lot to be learned. T h a t is p r o b a b l y what I r e m e m b e r most a b o u t M o n d a y night.

Before S h a n k a r appeared on stage, t h r e e a n n o u n c e m e n t s were

m a d e w h i c h p r e c e d e each of his c o n c e r t s : n o flash pictures, n o t a p e r e c o r d i n g s and n o s m o k i n g .

N o s m o k i n g is the m o s t i m p o r t a n t to S h a n k a r .

THE A N N O U N C E R at t h e Civic C e n t e r gave it special stress and S h a n k a r a n n o u n c e d it himself when he played in t h e C o n c e r t f o r Bangla Desh. T h e y are simple acts of c o u r t e s y and respect f o r b o t h p e r f o r m e r and music.

First on stage was t h e t a m b o u r a player. An older man w h o seemed t o be of Western d e s c e n t , he was s t a n d i n g in f o r t h e y o u n g Indian lady w h o is S h a n k a r ' s regular t a m b o u r a player. Next c a m e Alia R a k h a , t h e tabla player, and as firm a part of S h a n k a r ' s m u s i c as his sitar.

HE R E C E I V E D an enthusiastic hand f r o m t h e c r o w d , f o r he is well k n o w n by S h a n k a r ' s followers and fans. Finally c a m e S h a n k a r himself, sitar in h a n d .

It was t h e n t h a t we all realized that it was really Ravi S h a n k a r and he was really here in H o l l a n d .

T h e e x c i t e m e n t of that realization almost resulted in a standing ovation b e f o r e a n o t e had been played.

AS T H E T H R E E began to t u n e their i n s t r u m e n t s , the a u d i e n c e fell silent as if a regular piece were being played.

The tamboura

i i . player gently stroked the strings of t h e vertically held i n s t r u m e n t , which provides the base of t h e tuning procedure.

R a k h a struck and t u r n e d his d r u m s , tuning t h e m as precisely as S h a n k a r did his sitar. When t h e y had finished, S h a n k a r gently laid his i n s t r u m e n t across his knees and spoke. (A flashbulb had g o n e off by this time which b r o u g h t

several r e p r i m a n d i n g c o m m e n t s f r o m t h e s u r r o u n d i n g listeners.)

S H A N K A R S P O K E softly and slowly. His very deliberate English floated f r o m the speakers a n d , u n f o r t u n a t e l y , died away soon after. Even the a b s o l u t e silence that t h e packed house audience maintained during his w o r d s d i d n ' t allow t h e m to get to every listener.

We in the b a l c o n y were lucky if we caught t h e title of the piece.

But it d i d n ' t really m a t t e r . For him to shout or even talk loudly would not have been in keeping with t h e music.

T H E END O F the first piece yielded a round of applause that any p e r f o r m e r would e n j o y at the end of his entire p e r f o r m a n c e .

H o w e v e r , the value of t h e q u o t a system is q u e s t i o n a b l e , since t h e r e f o r m e r s have given a very special m e a n i n g t o the word "represented".

THE S E C O N D half opened w i t h a tabla solo. S h a n k a r explained a b o u t the tabla and t h e f a c t that each sound that could be m a d e on t h e d r u m s had a verbal equivalent. He d e m o n s t r a t e d by vocally d o i n g a section which was followed by the tabla.

I f o u n d myself d a y d r e a m i n g a lot d u r i n g the concert, n o t a discredit to S h a n k a r ' s music.

Haight -Ashbury: deflowering the flower culture

by Ted Friedman Alternative Features Service At o n e t i m e it had m o r e t h a n a d o z e n head shops and scores of boutiques dispensing nothing m o r e fashionable t h a n b e a d s and bells. T h a t was in 1967, the year of t h e H u m a n Be-In at G o l d e n G a t e Park celebrating beards, long hair, bare breasts, and d o p e .

BUT BY 1969 and the d r u n k en, f r e a k e d - o u t orgy at San Francisco's Glide Memorial m a r k i n g the " D e a t h of H i p p i e , " it was all over.

F o r those for w h o m it had never begun, it dragged on f o r several more years of disillusioned pilgrimages to the Haight. T h e r e were i n t e r m i n a b l e " w a r m San Francisco n i g h t s " still to be played to inevitable c o n c l u s i o n s : rapes, rip-offs, and nightmarish drug f r e a k o u t s .

But by the seventies, t h e Haight-Ashbury, much abused s y m b o l for the d e f u n c t flower child p h e n o m e n o n , was a smoldering shell.

S C E N E O F MASS arrests, murders, and public gang bangs, it was sealed off f r o m the rest of t h e city. Except for the gravest of crises, the San Francisco Police were keeping h a n d s o f f , waiting f o r the Haight to b u r n o u t . And burn o u t it did.

T o d a y , even t h o u g h there is m u c h talk in the Haight a b o u t a revival, Haight Street itself still has the dingy, b o a r d e d - u p look of a disaster area. Only the hardiest have survived t h e e x o d u s in t h e late sixties of the n e i g h b o r h o o d ' s long-time residents.

A N D W H I L E it would n o t be fair to say t h e r e is a n i m o s i t y b e t w e e n n e w c o m e r s and the oldtimers, s o m e of w h o m have lived in the Haight for as long as 3 0 years, all the ingredients for a c o n f r o n t a t i o n are p r e s e n t .

T h e r e are, in f a c t , o m i n o u s is going d o w n t h e drain and t h a t ' s resemblances b e t w e e n t h e longwhy t h e n e i g h b o r h o o d is going gone H a i g h t - A s h b u r y I n d e p e n d e n t down the drain."

Merchants ( H I P ) - o n c e headed W H I L E T H E bickering contiby R o n T h e l i n , f o u n d e r of t h e nues, h o w e v e r , t h e r e are signs of Psychedelic S h o p , t h e Haight's health. New stores o p e n regularly, most f a m o u s head s h o p - and Haight-Ashbury Neighborhood D e v e l o p m e n t ( H A N D ) , o n e of a m u l t i t u d e of n e i g h b o r h o o d imp r o v e m e n t associations.

U N L I K E S O M E city-backed groups, H A N D w a n t s to see t h e Haight t a k e u p where it left off b e f o r e all t h e d r u g pushers moved in. Its s t o r e f r o n t o f f i c e is a clearinghouse of survival i n f o r m a t i o n , free university course offerings, and f l o p spot listings, and it's t h e h o m e of the Haight-Ashbury Switchboard.

If n o t e x a c t l y flourishing, t h e old Haight-Ashbury Merchants Association, which used to clash daily with HIP, survives. A f t e r struggling t h r o u g h the - for t h e m - dark d a y s of flower p o w e r , t h e y view with r e s e n t m e n t and apprehension a n y t h i n g that smacks of utopianism.

C O M M E N T I N G ON a H A N D proposal f o r a mall, Mendel Herscowitz, 58, vice-president of t h e Merchants, c o m p l a i n s , "Where would we u n l o a d ? I d o n ' t suppose those people have noticed it, but we d o n ' t have any alleys to receive s h i p m e n t s i n . " Herscowitz, w h o locks his cash register aftfer each sale and w o r k s his h a r d w a r e store w i t h the help of a t h r e e - f o o t - t a l l G e r m a n Shepherd and a baseball b a t , criticizes as rootless t h e y o u n g people w h o are t r y i n g t o u n i t e t h e Haight.

O F O N E O F t h e organizers, he says, " h e ' s in his t w e n t i e s with no ties; he can d r i f t away as he came here, a r e v o l u t i o n a r y . What has he got t o l o s e ? " But he c o n c e d e s , " P e o p l e will never get t o g e t h e r d o w n here.

Personal bickering is s t u p i d . While we're bickering, t h e n e i g h b o r h o o d

most of t h e m f u r n i t u r e stores, b o o k stores, a n t i q u e shops.

A n d b o t h t h e vacancy r a t e and the crime rate have d r o p p e d vacancies b y 50 p e r c e n t and crime by 6 8 p e r c e n t , a c c o r d i n g t o offi-

cials. Bus service w h i c h had long been d i s c o n t i n u e d h a s recently been resumed and m a n y residents say t h e y are no longer afraid to walk t h e s t r e e t s in d a y l i g h t .

W H A T , E X A C T L Y , the Haight will b e c o m e is a n y b o d y ' s guess.

Before the pushers a n d o t h e r ripoff types moved in, t h e Haight was at the center of t h e m a j o r cultural m o v e m e n t s of the sixties.

It was the h o m e of the f a m o u s San Francisco Oracle, considered by some t h e flashiest u n d e r g r o u n d paper in t h e h e y d a y of underg r o u n d papers, and its gaudy boutiques and head s h o p s once attracted tourists f r o m a r o u n d the world.

T h e p o s t e r renaissance originated and flourished in the Haight w h e r e once y o u could buy a J e f f e r son Airplane or G r a t e f u l Dead Fillmore c o n c e r t p o s t e r f o r ten or f i f t e e n cents. They were printed in t h e Haight.

BUT T H E PRINTER who t u r n e d t h e m out has soured on this aspect of the Haight and no longer p r i n t s posters. He has a few stashed s o m e w h e r e in his o f f i c e , but he'll o n l y discuss t h e m with collectors.

Perhaps in its r e a c t i o n t o the d e f l o w e r i n g of the flower generat i o n , the Haight c o n t i n u e s t o symbolize t h e c u l t u r a l history of its time. T h e only d i f f e r e n c e between t h e Haight and o t h e r parts of the c o u n t r y is t h a t the Haight had to live t h r o u g h it. T h o u g h precariously, it seems s o m e h o w to have survived.

P E O P L E

shed light on t h e struggle b e t w e e n t r u t h as proposition and t r u t h as e n c o u n t e r . First is B u b e r ' s e m p h a sis on the " b e t w e e n n e s s " of the e n c o u n t e r of persons. " T h e dialogical s i t u a t i o n , " he says in Between Man and Man, " . . . is not t o be grasped on the o n t i c of personal existences, b u t of that which has its being b e t w e e n t h e m and t r a n s c e n d s t h e m both."

T H E S E C O N D IS that Buber's existential t r u t h has n o use for p r o p o s i t i o n . A m o s t a d e q u a t e s t a t e m e n t on the role of p r o p o s i t i o n in illuminating e n c o u n t e r comes, ironically, f r o m P l a t o , w h o q u o t e s Socrates as saying, " T o find t h e F a t h e r and m a k e r of all is h a r d , and having f o u n d him it is impossible to u t t e r h i m . " In s u m , the existential theologian posits that G o d discloses Himself, b u t never p r o p o s i t i o n s a b o u t Himself.

Despite t h e m a n y positive c o n t r i b u t i o n s of those w h o a d v o c a t e existential t r u t h t h r o u g h e n c o u n t e r , this writer believes that it is in serious j e o p a r d y because of its e x t r e m e rejection of p r o p o s i t i o n a l truth.

FIRST, EXISTENTIAL theologians sometimes mistake t h e logical distinction we m a k e b e t w e e n ourselves and o t h e r s for t h e sinful distinction we m a k e w h e n w e alienate ourselves f r o m o u r fellows.

To say b y way of p r o p o s i t i o n that w e are individuals by n o m e a n s implies that b y doing t h i s we are guilty of e x t r a c t i n g ourselves f r o m a c o r r e c t e n c o u n t e r with o t h e r s .

S e c o n d , existentialists are wrong in saying that p r o p o s i t i o n s should never be used to illuminate e n c o u n t e r . Even t h o u g h , in t h e Psalm cited above, the writer a f f i r m s G o d ' s essential i m m u n i t y f r o m c o m p l e t e verbal d e s c r i p t i o n , he does go on t o discourse on b o t h t h e being and acts of G o d (vs.

4-21). Who can fully express the p r o f u n d i t y of h u m a n love ( n o t t o m e n t i o n divine love!)?

Y e t the impossibility of fully expressing o u r e n c o u n t e r by p r o p o s i t i o n s s h o u l d n o t h i n d e r us f r o m saying w h a t we can a b o u t o u r e n c o u n t e r s . T o argue that e n c o u n t e r , rich as it may be, totally defies verbal d e s c r i p t i o n is t o argue t h a t we should n o t say anything a b o u t o u r faith unless w e can say everything a b o u t it. Such o b t u s e reasoning e n d a n g e r s t h e very viability of t r u t h as e n c o u n t e r .

In last w e e k ' s instalment, we traced t h e t h e o r y of t r u t h as p r o p o s i t i o n , seeing t h e pitfalls into w h i c h t h o s e w h o a d v o c a t e p r o p o s i t i o n a l t r u t h occasionally s t u m b l e . This error has led t o t h e rising p o p u l a r i t y of t h e t h e o r y of t r u t h as e n c o u n t e r , to which we n o w turn.

T R U T H AS P R O P O S I T I O N has its r o o t s in Hellenic t h o u g h t ; t r u t h as e n c o u n t e r , s o m e t i m e s called " e x i s t e n t i a l t r u t h , " is built on t h e f o u n d a t i o n of Hebraic t h o u g h t . If the ancient Greek respected t h e man of reason, t h e Hebrew respected the man of faith. T h e e x p e r i e n c e that history b r o u g h t t o t h e Israelites put t h a t race in c o n t a c t w i t h a personal Being w h o was u n n a m e a b l e , u n s e a r c h a b l e , and totally b e y o n d the logic of the h u m a n m i n d .

St. Paul e c h o e d this sentimfenf when he w r o t e , " 0 d e p t h of w e a l t h , wisdom, k n o w l e d g e of G o d ! How u n s e a r c h a b l e his j u d g m e n t s , h o w u n t r a c e a b l e his ways! W h o k n o w s t h e mind of the L o r d ? W h o has been his c o u n s e l o r ? " ( R o m . 1 1:33-34, N E B ; cf. Ps. 1 4 5 : 3 , Phil. 4 : 7 ) . Y e t despite t h e a w e s o m e transcend e n c e of Y a h w e h , t h e Hebrew man of faith believed t h a t G o d calls every p e r s o n into a r e d e e m i n g relationship, a c o n t i n u a l e n c o u n t e r , w i t h himself.

T H E E X T R E M E G U L F b e t w e e n Hellenic and Hebraic n o t i o n s of t r u t h can be gauged by t w o Biblical references. In the b o o k of J o b , the r a t i o n a l a r g u m e n t s of J o b ' s " c o m f o r t e r s " are rejected by J o b , and u l t i m a t e l y by G o d , as s y m p t o m s of intellectual pride. J o b k n o w s t h a t only the c o m m i t m e n t of f a i t h can solve his p r o b l e m ; m e r e reasoning could never t o u c h the t r u t h of his s i t u a t i o n .

S e c o n d , w h e n St. Paul visited A t h e n s t o p r e a c h a Hebrew-Christian Gospel t o men of a Hellenic heritage, it is recorded t h a t , " t h e A t h e n i a n s in general and t h e foreigners t h e r e had n o t i m e f o r a n y t h i n g but talking or hearing a b o u t the latest [philosophical] novelty" (Acts 17:21). To the H e b r e w man of experience and faith, t h e simple life of the mind seemed pallid i n d e e d .

IT IS F I T T I N G that t h e t h e o r y of existential t r u t h be re-emphasized in o u r t i m e b y a man w h o , p e r h a p s m o r e t h a n a n y o t h e r of o u r d a y , is r o o t e d in H e b r a i s m , Martin Buber. His m o n u m e n t a l w o r k / and Thou is p e r h a p s the m o s t influential s t a t e m e n t of t r u t h as e n c o u n t e r ever m a d e .

Dutch victory dimmed by Voss, Brugger injuries

by Dick Bloemendaal Hope College posted its first opening game football victory in 10 years at Riverview Park Saturday, downing Manchester, Ind., 21-14 in a bittersweet triumph for the Dutchmen.

WITH THE GAME three minutes old, tailback Greg Voss, the nation's sixth leading rusher among small colleges a year ago with more than 2300 yards to his credit, suffered ligament damage to his right knee that will keep him out for the duration of the 1972 campaign.

Voss was off to a roaring start as he was involved in six consecutive plays gaining 19 yards in five carries and catching a four-yard pass. Later in that disastrous first quarter, starting fullback Barry Brugger also was sidelined for the season with tendon damage to his left knee.

Hope's harriers will defend title in Tuesday meet Hope will host its sixth annual invitational cross country meet Tuesday at the Winding Creek golf course, located four miles east of U.S. 31 on 32nd street. The five mile race begins at 4 p.m.

COMPETING AGAINST the Dutchmen will be runners from Alma, Calvin, Ferris State, Kalamazoo and Spring Arbor.

Six returning lettermen put the Flying Dutchmen in a strong position to defend the M1AA and GLCA championships they captured a year ago.

This year's squad is led by senior Greg Daniels, who was the league's most valuable runner in 1971. Daniels, who was also allleague in track, holds the course records at Hope and Alma.

THE TEAM HAS added depth with the return of senior Brian Claxton, who spent the 1971-72 school year studying in Europe.

Claxton was selected as Hope's most valuable runner in 1970.

BOTH BRUGGER and Voss were operated on Sunday in backto-back operations by team physician Dr. Robert Mahaney. Brugger, a wingback last year, appears to have the more serious of the two knee injuries.

However, the partisan Community Day crowd of 4,200 was still to witness a Hope victory, as Coach Ray Smith juggled his chargers and moved junior defensive safety Bob Lamer to Voss' tailback position.

LAMER ROSE to the challenge by scoring all three Hope touchdowns en route to gaining 139 yards ^ , 2 9 carries. Lamer's backfield companion, sophomore quarterback Bob Carlson, rushed for 38 yards in six carries and connected on six of 11 passes for 54 yards, throwing primarily to receivers Mark Meyer and freshman Bob Lees, who were alternating on each play.

Hope's offensive team ground out 298 total yards: 244 of these on the ground and 54 through the air on their way to collecting 17 first downs. The Dutch defense limited the Manchester black-andgold to just 1 24 yards rushing, but gave up 155 yards to the Spartans through the passing lanes.

OPPOSING quarterback Steve Bryant penetrated the Hope secondary by completing nine of 20 passes. Two were i n t e r c e p t e d one each by Doug Smith and Bob Carlson.

The Hope defense also recovered two fumbles during the game, as Ted Albrecht, Mark Bolthouse, and freshman middle guard Dave Yeiter applied steady pressure on the Manchester backfield.

HOPE RECEIVED the ball to open the game, but was forced to punt when faced with a 1 fourthdown situation on its first offensive series. As the ball was snapped, Manchester outside linebacker Carl Krieghbaum burst through the Hope line and blocked Doug Smith's punt.

The Spartans took over at Hope's 17 yard line, but failed to score when Hope defensive end Jeff Stewart nailed quarterback Bryant for a 16 yard loss.

Flying Dutchman makes that all important lunge, stopping Manchester opponent just 10 yards from the goal line in last Saturday's game at Riverview Park.

HOPE GAINED possession of the pigskin, but was forced to punt four plays later. Co-captain Doug Smith put the enemy deep into their territory when he boomed a punt 47 yards through the air. Manchester's drive stalled and Smith returned the punt 40 yards to set up the first Hope scoring opportunity.

Eight plays later, with 3:51 remaining in the first period.

Lamer rammed over from the two to draw first blood for the Dutchmen. Freshman Darryl Brown toed over thp extra point and the score stood 4t 7-0.

WITH 13:49 to play in the half, Steve Bryant's quarterback sneak from the one on a fourthand-goal tied the game at 7-7 as Dan Butler booted the point after.

Defensive halfback Jim Wojcicki came up with a Roland Jones fumble with 8:50 to go in the half to put Hope on the Manchester 30 yard line. Two minutes later, despite heavy pressure from inside linebacker Fred

Rout Schoolcraft

Hooters take opener 5-3 Mark Van Voorst and Abdul al Mawlawi led the soccer team to a 5-3 opening game victory over Schoolcraft C o m m u n i t y College last Saturday. However, the game was marked by errors and ragged play at times, prompting Head Coach Gene Brown to call the team's play ''disappointing."

HOPE TOOK AN early lead when Abdul al Mawlawi set up Habib Ismail for his first varsity goal. Al Mawlawi drew praise for his pinpoint^lead passes that resulted in four assists for the Qatari newcomer.

The Dutch took a 2-0 lead with fifteen minutes gone in the game, when Mark Van Voorst scored on an al Mawlawi assist.

FIVE MINUTES LATER, Scott Vanderford chalked up Schoolcraft's first goal. Before the first half ended, however. Van Voorst scored his second goal of the day, booting a Carlos No Nascimento pass into the nets.

The second half was marked by four goals and one ejection from the game. Early in the second stanza. Van Voorst was kicked out for interfering with the goalie.

Schoolcraft scored first, when after two minutes had elapsed, John O'Neil took a Stan Bullon pass to make the score 4-2.

TWENTY-EIGHT minutes went by before either team tallied again. At that point, Bill McAndrew, with an assist from right halfback al Mawlawi, scored his first goal of the year.

Freshman Jim Vannice scored Hope's fifth goal near the end of the game. Again al Mawlawi was credited with the assist. Right before Vannice's goal, Schoolcraft's Vanderford rifled home Bill Jacob's lead pass for his team's final score.

MOST OF THE errors, Brown said, were "organizational prob-

lems that can be eliminated relatively easily." One major problem was offsides (as many as fifteen times), a penalty which usually takes away scoring opportunities.

As it was, Hope took 46 shots on goal. A second problem was overshifting on the part of the fullbacks, not shifting back fast enough when the ball was passed cross-field.

HOPE SHOULD HAVE had a few more goals, but offsides, and the fact that many of the shots on goal were not good ones added up to only five scores. Schoolcraft, however, could manage only 14 shots a goal.

T o m o r r o w Hope travels east once more, this time taking on Oakland University in a 1:30 encounter.

Bullock, Lamer rolled in from the three. Brown's kick upped the score to 14-7.

HALFBACK Roland Jones capped a Manchester drive that ate up 11 plays by scooting around left end behind good blocking to narrow the margin to one point with just 57 seconds left to play in the half. Butler's kick knotted the score at 14-14 going into the dressing rooms.

Coming out of the locker r o o m at half-time's end, Manchester looked like a fired-up team as they maneuvered the ball down to Hope's 10 yard line by virtue of a 40 yard pass play f r o m Spartan quarterback Bryant to split end Sam Lower. Four plays later, Manchester's Butler a t t e m p t e d a 20-yard field goal which sailed wide left of the crossbars.

WITH 2:51 remaining in the third quarter, halfback Doug Smith stepped in front of a Bryant pass and returned the ball to the 49 yard line. It looked as if Hope was putting together a scoring drive, but diminutive safetyman Tim Kilmer, who weighs in at 5 ' 6 " and 140 pounds, retaliated by snaring an interception of his own.

Manchester failed to move the ball when freshman Craig Van Tuinen forced a Bryant fumble.

The winning t o u c h d o w n , came with 12:36 remaining | when Lamer climaxed a 28-yard drive by scoring from the four on a third down play. Darryl Brown again sent the ball through the uprights for a 21-14 final score.

The Dutchmen will battle with Concordia, 111., next Saturday at 1:30 p.m. in an away game.
