Local nurse offers personal counsel to Hope coeds

by Leslie Carry A new counselling service for H o p e w o m e n has been initiated by Mrs. Delores Bout well, a trained nurse and a Holland resident.

A C C O R D I N G T O Mrs. Boutwell, the service's bacic premise is that "if s t u d e n t s will not c o m e to the health clinic t o seek guidance f r o m the nurse, the nurse will go to t h e m . " O n e aspect of the program will be small d o r m meetings in which w o m e n can p a r t i c i p a t e in i n f o r m a l q u e s t i o n - a n s w e r sessions with her a b o u t sex, drugs or o t h e r issues of i n t e r e s t , she said.

"HOPE S H O U L D be c o m m e n d e d for recognizing the need for such a p r o g r a m , " she s t a t e d .

She a d d e d that she is not presently e q u i p p e d to h a n d l e b o y s ' problems, although "hopefully a p r o g r a m similar t o this o n e will be d e v e l o p e d for t h e m . " i he c o u n s e l l i n g service actually originated last s e m e s t e r , when Mrs. Bout well s p o k e to several nurses at the college clinic and

o f f e r e d her h o m e on Lake Macatawa as a place w h e r e s t u d e n t s would always be w e l c o m e t o c o m e and talk, have c o f f e e , or just take a break f r o m t h e college atmosphere.

AS A R E S U L T of her interest, she became acquainted with f o r m e r Associate Dean of Students J e a n e t t e Sprik w h o o f f e r e d a part t i m e position as a " h e a l t h guidance counselor."

T h e position was strictly voluntary and was publicized primarily t h r o u g h signs in the w o m e n ' s dormitory bathrooms. According t o Mrs. Boutwell, her j o b was " t o try t o p r o v i d e a place w h e r e girls could go t o say what was on their minds, w i t h o u t fear of being j u d g e d . " P r o b l e m s b r o u g h t to her ranged f r o m r o o m m a t e troubles to fears about p r e g n a n c y and venereal disease. The q u e s t i o n she e n c o u n t e r e d m o s t o f t e n was (hat of p r e m a r i t a l sex, she said.

College files reply to Pollock charges H o p e College has filed an answer with the O t t a w a C o u n t y Circuit C o u r t to t h e charges of Mrs. Marguerite Pollock that the college and t h e Holland Zoning A p p e a l s Board have violated the s t a t u t e s of the city zoning ordinance.

T H E A N S W E R asserts that the Pollock p r o p e r t y is z o n e d as residential district A-2. As s u c h , the m i n i m u m side and rear yard setb a c k s established by the ordinance are fully m e t , stated the college's a t t o r n e y J a m e s T o w n send.

In her suit against the college, Mrs. Pollock claims that t h e college's plans for the p r o p o s e d acad e m i c science c e n t e r will place the building within t h e rear yard setback ol 50 feet g u a r a n t e e d by the zoning o r d i n a n c e for p r o p e r t y designated as residential A - l . T h e college insists that the Graves A v e . - T w e l f t h St. site of the proposed s t r u c t u r e is zoned A-2, and the m i n i m u m rear-yard set-back of 25 feet is met by the a r c h i t e c t ' s plans.

MEANWHILE, Townsend s t a t e d , n e g o t i a t i o n s for the transfer of t h e Pollock p r o p e r t y are continuing.

A c c o r d i n g to the t e r m s of the variance g r a n t e d the college f o r c o n s t r u c t i o n of the c e n t e r , t h e college m u s t allow for s u f f i c i e n t off-street parking. " R e g a r d i n g the parking q u e s t i o n , the college's plan is t o o f f e r an over-all approach t o take care of the college's over-all n e e d s , " T o w n s e n d s t a t e d . At p r e s e n t , t h e science c e n t e r plans call for a 55 car lot t o be built t o service the building.

MRS. POLLOCKS attorney R o b e r t ( n l l e t t e s t a t e d that as yet he has received n o a n s w e r f r o m the z o n i n g appeals b o a r d , co-def e n d e n t with H o p e in the suit, (lillette f u r t h e r stated that he plans t o answer the college's answer s h o r t l y . T h e college will then have 20 d a y s t o reply to ( i i l l e t t e ' s answer.

Even in its earliest stages, the p r o g r a m received a large response.

Mrs. Boutwell s t a t e d t h a t to s o m e she could be a " m o t h e r i m a g e , " w i t h o u t t h e b u r d e n of e m o t i o n a l i n v o l v e m e n t ; to o t h e r s she was a " r e s o u r c e p e r s o n . " in the latter c a p a c i t y she could refer t r o u b l e d girls to o t h e r guidance p e r s o n n e l w h o would help t h e m in areas that she could not.

DUE TO LAST y e a r ' s favorable r e c e p t i o n , the service may be e x p a n d e d , Mrs. Boutwell revealed.

Until it is e x p a n d e d , her o f f i c e will be in D u r f e e b a s e m e n t and her h o u r s will be on T u e s d a y and Wednesday from I to 4 p . m .

However, Mrs. Boutwell emphasized t h e fact that if a girl n e e d s help and it is not d u r i n g the prescribed hours, she can always be reached at h o m e . " D o n ' t hesitate to call if you need to see me and I'm not on c a m p u s , " she remarked.

F o r m e r l y of W h e a t o n , Illinois, Mrs. Boutwell moved here with her h u s b a n d and three children last D e c e m b e r . She and her husband had sponsored college g r o u p s and had had c o n t a c t with college s t u d e n t s t h e e n t i r e t i m e they lived in W h e a t o n . When they arrived h e r e , she said, t h e y missed having s t u d e n t s in their h o m e ; hence their i n v o l v e m e n t with Hope students.

Bills introduced

W i t h o u t such a primary election, the new voters f r o m Michigan will have n o direct i n f l u e n c e on the 1972 c o n v e n t i o n s .

Jackie Vaughn III, representative f r o m Michigan's 23rd district, is m o u n t i n g a state-wide drive for s u p p o r t of the bill. He has c o m municated with campuses t h r o u g h o u t the state, expressing a desire to meet with s t u d e n t leaders in o r d e r to plan local activity in s u p p o r t of the pro-

An election will be c o n d u c t e d t o d e t e r m i n e t h e five representatives, H u t t a r said, a l t h o u g h no d a t e of election or election proc e d u r e has yet been established.

H u t t a r s t a t e d he e x p e c t s to ann o u n c e b o t h a d a t e and procedural election policy by Oct. 4.

The department further outlined the academic criteria to be used in determining a student's eligibility as a candidate for the representative positions. An overall grade point average of better than 2.0 at the time of election is a standard requirement for all candidates. Those seeking the positions of junior or senior major representative must be a major in

g o o d s t a n d i n g at the t i m e of elections.

T h e decision granting the student v o t e s was u p o n r e c o m m e n d a t i o n of an ad hoc c o m m i t t e e of t h e d e p a r t m e n t chaired by p r o f e s s o r of English H e n r y Ten Hoor.

Vaughn feels that colleges t h r o u g h o u t Michigan " n e e d to develop a coalition and pool their resources to hire a l o b b y i s t . " In a d d i t i o n to the e m p l o y m e n t of a full-time l o b b y i s t , he hopes for the creation of an executive c o m m i t t e e m a d e up of representatives f r o m the participating schools.

This means t h a t a m a x i m u m of 5 0 , 0 0 0 men will be directly affected in 1972 by the s t u d e n t d e f e r m e n t phase out and one-half of these, or 2 5 , 0 0 0 , will p r o b a b l y not be i n d u c t e d because of enlistm e n t s in Regular, Reserve or National Guard units, participalion in c o m m i s s i o n i n g p r o g r a m s because of p r o c e d u r a l delays.

IN MOST CASES a f r e s h m a n would have to be at least 2 0 years old with a l o t t e r y n u m b e r below 125 to be called f o r i n d u c t i o n this c a l e n d a r year ( 1 9 7 1 ) . Since January d r a f t calls are generally low, most f r e s h m e n will have s t a r t e d a new academic term at the start of 1972 and due t o a new policy will be allowed to finish the academic year.

A c c o r d i n g t o Dr. Tarr, college s t u d e n t s will n o t be d r a f t e d in the middle of a s e m e s t e r or t e r m . "If called while e n r o l l e d , they will be allowed to p o s t p o n e their induetion until the end of the s e m e s t e r or t e r m . If in their last a c a d e m i c year, they will be allowed to p o s t p o n e their i n d u c t i o n until after graduation."

THIS MEANS THAT n o senior can be d r a f t e d until the s u m m e r of 1972 if he has not yet been called and is presently enrolled in college full time and m a k i n g satisf a c t o r y progress. No s t u d e n t n o t already called can b e d r a f t e d until the end of this s e m e s t e r or term as long as he remains enrolled. Stud e n t s on the s e m e s t e r system have a b e t t e r chance of finishing o u t this academic y e a r than those on the q u a r t e r s y s t e m , since those on the q u a r t e r system can be ind u c t e d at the end of b o t h fall and w i n t e r terms.

T h e d e f e r r e d i n d u c t i o n is supposedly an a u t o m a t i c p r o c e d u r e , so s t u d e n t s receiving i n d u c t i o n notices should i m m e d i a t e l y inf o r m their local boards of their enrollment.

A SPOKESMAN for the Selective Service said that only a b o u t one out of every f o r t y i n c o m i n g f r e s h m e n will be i n d u c t e d this academic year. However, he a d d e d that "if the d r a f t is still a r o u n d in 1973, we should be eating a little deeper i n t o this year's f r e s h m e n class."

Rights council sponsors retreat to improve Hope race relations T h e H u m a n Rights C o u n c i l is planning a biracial c o n f e r e n c e of H o p e s t u d e n t s and faculty f o r Oct. 29 at Marigold Lodge.

T h e idea f o r such a retreat c a m e out of the council's last meeting of the ' 7 0 - ' 7 l t e r m .

Witness last y e a r ' s faculty f o r u m w h e r e m e m b e r s of the H u m a n Rights Council a t t e m p t e d t o impress the faculty with the findings of t h e Minority G r o u p R e p o r t . What could have been a constructive i n t e r c h a n g e d e g e n e r a t e d into a fiasco of f a c u l t y a t t a c k s and Council d e f e n s e s concerning the report.

Truly, w h a t is needed is a far ranging p r o g r a m t o s a t u r a t e t h e Hope c o m m u n i t y with t h e insights of the c o n f e r e n c e . Perhaps a S u n d a y chapel service could be d e v o t e d t o a r e c o u n t i n g of t h e c o n f e r e n c e ' s discussions. Perhaps w o r k s h o p s in d o r m s and f r a t e r n i t i e s c o u l d be established as c e n t e r s for grass-roots application of t h o s e findings.

Unless such post-conference interchanges o c c u r , the b e n e f i t s of t h e c o n f e r ence will be lost. It's t o o bad t h a t e v e r y o n e c a n n o t a t t e n d , but it w o u l d be far w o r s e if e v e r y o n e c o u l d not share the e x p e r i e n c e .

This past w e e k , c a m p u s e s t h r o u g h o u t Michigan received a letter soliciting s u p p o r t for Michigan House of Representatives Bill No. 5 6 2 6 . T h e bill provides for a May primary election allowing s o m e n e w voters to be elected as delegates to t h e 1 9 7 2 national c o n v e n t i o n s . A l t h o u g h t h e n u m ber of seats gained by y o u n g voters in such an election w o u l d m o s t likely be q u i t e small, t h e possibility of acquiring even a limited i n f l u e n c e at t h e c o n v e n t i o n s deserves t h e a t t e n t i o n of s t u d e n t s .

The bill w o u l d allow y o u n g p e o p l e a measure of p o w e r at a p o i n t in t h e political process w h e r e their i m p o t e n c e has m o s t f r u s t r a t e d t h e m in the past. In 1 9 6 8 students tried t o influence the o u t c o m e of the Democratic convention through marches and d e m o n s t r a t i o n s , the only means at their disposal. Their inability t o bring a b o u t t h e n o m i n a t i o n of a c a n d i d a t e who shared their c o n c e r n s finally resulted in tragic violence and d e e p disillusionment with established political m e t h o d s .

The events of 1 9 6 8 suggest t h a t the only way s t u d e n t s can i n f l u e n c e the national c o n v e n t i o n s is with s y m p a t h e t i c delegates. If Michigan and o t h e r states allow for the election of even a few y o u t h f u l delegates, these could conceivably wield an i n f l u e n c e at t h e c o n v e n t i o n s out of p r o p o r t i o n to their n u m b e r s , as a result of the lowering of the voting age.

The i m m e d i a t e task, h o w e v e r , is to win s u p p o r t for t h e bill p r o p o s i n g the May primary. S t u d e n t Congress leaders should c o n t a c t s t a t e representative Jackie Vaughn III, the bill's s p o n s o r , to d e t e r m i n e the most e f f e c t i v e way to campaign for its passage. S t u d e n t s and f a c u l t y should educate themselves as to t h e possibilities offered by the p r o p o s e d election and should express their s u p p o r t t o their local state senators and representatives. T h e voting privilege s t u d e n t s n o w possess will incline state legislators t o take s t u d e n t c o n c e r n s seriously.

Voting against Thieu

by Art Buchwald P r e s i d e n t T h i e u , w h o is r u n n i n g hard against no o p p o s i t i o n in the O c t o b e r presid e n t i a l e l e c t i o n s , has m a i n t a i n e d that the S o u t h V i e t n a m e s e elections are not rigged.

He said t h e p e o p l e have a fair choice. T h e y can either vote for him or m u t i l a t e their ballots. He has said that if m o r e than 50 p e r c e n t of t h e p o p u l a t i o n mess up their ballots, he w o u l d accept this as a defeat and graciously resign.

HE ALSO SAID he is going to tell the p e o p l e n o w to m u t i l a t e their ballots in p r o t e s t . T h e y can tear it, mark it up, fold it or crush it to s h o w their displeasure with him.

1 asked m y man in Saigon to give me the latest word on the elections there and here is his r e p o r t . " T h e e x c i t e m e n t is building here in S o u t h V i e t n a m for the Oct. 3 presidential e l e c t i o n . President Thieu is still leading in the polls, with 52 percent of the vote. This is d o w n six p o i n t s f r o m Augus t.

"PICKING UP SUPPORT are those w h o are going to tear their ballots in half, w h o n o w n u m b e r 23 p e r c e n t of the e l e c t o r a t e , f o l l o w e d by t h o s e w h o are going to s t o m p on t h e i r ballots with their feet, w h o acc o u n t f o r 15 p e r c e n t of those polled. " T e n per cent of the people said they still h a d n ' t m a d e up their m i n d s w h e t h e r they are going to burn their ballots or t h r o w themselves into the river. " B u t o p p o s i t i o n forces to Thieu are h o p e f u l that a coalition b e t w e e n the ballot tearers, the s t o m p e r s and the b u r n e r s can be f o r m e d b e f o r e the election, so Thieu can be d e f e a t e d .

"HOK SAM-THUNG, w h o is chairman of t h e ballot t e a r e r s c o m m i t t e e , has maintained that t h e only way to d e f e a t Thieu is by t e a r i n g t h e ballot. He feels t h e people w h o w a n t t o step on their ballots are unrealistic. T h i e u can easily have s t o m p e d

anc

ballots cleaned and pressed and t h e n c o u n t t h e m for h i m s e l f . " H o k told m e at his h e a d q u a r t e r s , where t h e y were holding a " t e a r y o u r ballot f o r p e a c e " rally: " T h e ballot tearers are the only ones who can beat T h i e u , but we'll never d o it unless the f o o t s t o m p e r s and b u r n e r s join us."

Over at the f o o t s t o m p e r s h e a d q u a r t e r s Suk Ran-duk said, " T h e ballot tearers are m o r e interested in their own m e t h o d s of mutilating a ballot t h a n they are in the election. We k n o w for a fact that the United States has given Thieu $ 3 0 million in Scotch Tape so he can have his henchmen repair the ballots that are t o r n . When you s t o m p on one with y o u r f o o t , you crush it. It's impossible t o repair, and we're telling o u r people to stick with their heels."

THE BALLOT B U R N E R S , the most militant of the anti-Thieu forces, say that the ballot tearers and t h e ballot s t o m p e r s are playing into T h i e u ' s h a n d s . " T h e only way t o show o p p o s i t i o n to Thieu is to burn the ballots in h o p e s that the polling places will b u r n d o w n at the same t i m e , " they say.

A small group w h o are f o r d e f a c i n g ballots with c r a y o n s have been trying to get s u p p o r t , but they started late and d o n ' t seem to have the charisma with the elect o r a t e that the ballot tearers and s t o m p e r s have.

SO AT THE MOMENT it looks like Thieu will p r o b a b l y be the winner unless s o m e o n e c o m e s up with a m e t h o d of destroying the ballots that all t h e opposition parties can agree u p o n . A r e f o r m group in Saigon is trying to get e v e r y o n e to eat their ballots, but so far most S o u t h V i e t n a m e s e have s h o w n no a p p e t i t e for this suggestion.

'The Bell Jar : an autobiography of young insanity E d i t o r ' s n o t e : This week's anchor critique is w r i t t e n by senior philosophy major Dayne Lamb.

She reviews The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath (Harper and R o w , $ 6 . 9 5 ) . ' i was s u p p o s e d to be having the time of my life.

'T was s u p p o s e d t o be the envy of t h o u s a n d s of o t h e r college girls just like me all over America . . . " I N S T E A D O F having the " t i m e of her l i f e " E s t h e r finds that she has n o life, that she is s u f f o c a t i n g , that the world has reduced itself to the c o n f i n i n g spaces in her mind. The bell jar has d e c e n d e d and there is n o space and n o air.

The Bell Jar is a simple novel.

Esther is a y o u n g college girl in New York City for the s u m m e r as one of twelve college guest e d i t o r s for a leading y o u n g w o m a n ' s magazine. She has won the position of assistant general e d i t o r t h r o u g h her p o e t r y writing. With a u n i q u e naivete, and a certain gutsyness, Esther plans t o have the best of all possible times.

SLOWLY THE reader discovers that this a p p a r e n t l y most sane of girls - sensitive, o p e n , n o m i n a l l y successful - is b e c o m i n g the m o s t insane of girls. She no longer relates to herself and she has l o n g ceased relating to a n y t h i n g o u t side herself.

T h e novel is very f u n n y . Miss Plath's d e s c r i p t i o n s of t h e festivities in New York - of e a t i n g poisoned c r a b m e a t at a Ladies' Day Magazine l u n c h e o n , of having a first and l u d i c r o u s sexual e n c o u n t e r - all draw the reader i n t o E s t h e r ' s world.

"I'D DISCOVERED, a f t e r a lot of e x t r e m e a p p r e h e n s i o n a b o u t what s p o o n s t o use, that if you d o s o m e t h i n g i n c o r r e c t at table with a certain arrogance, as if y o u knew perfectly well you were doing it p r o p e r l y , you can get away with it and n o b o d y will think you are b a d - m a n n e r e d o r poorly b r o u g h t up. T h e y will

For those of you who are thinking of rushing out to buy t h e Isle Of Wight a l b u m , d o n ' t . T h e r e are a few things you should k n o w b e f o r e y o u make that long trek to the store and lay d o w n y o u r hard earned cash.

F I R S T , IF YOU ask the clerk for the Isle Of Wight a l b u m , he might not k n o w what y o u ' r e talking a b o u t simply because Isle Of Wight is not the right n a m e . T h e full n a m e is: The First Great Rock Festivals Of The Seventies: Isle of Wigh tjA tlan tic Pop Festival.

If y o u ' r e going to buy it, at least you can ask for it by n a m e .

S e c o n d , it is n o t , by a n y means, a n o t h e r Woodstock or even Woodstock Two. It d o e s n ' t even c o m e close. The nearest resemblance is t h a t Isle of Wight is a three-record set and includes an impressive array of artists ( J o h n n y Winter, Poco, The Chambers Brothers, T h e Allman Brothers, M o u n t a i n , Sly & T h e Family S t o n e , C a c t u s , David B r o m b e r g , Ten Years A f t e r , Procol H a r u m ,

Plath was a Smith college s t u d e n t w h o spent one s u m m e r as a Mademoiselle guest e d i t o r and did indeed e n t e r a mental hospital a f t e r a suicide a t t e m p t . The Bell Jar is so a u t o b i o g r a p h i c a l a novel that it was not published f o r eight years in the United States a f t e r its original publication in England.

Esther is saved. In this kind of novel the story has n o real i m p a c t ; one does not turn the page to discover the ending. I ruin n o t h i n g by disclosing that E s t h e r is saved.

And in her salvation the reader willingly finds his o w n .

I would advise one to read the biography a f t e r the novel, it is there that the threat of " t h e r a n f i e d a t m o s p h e r e of the bell j a r " u n c o m p r o m i s i n g l y imperils o n e ' s self. Just as with Esther one is made to go u n d e r ; one also is allowed to c o m e o u t . With her I cheered "I a m , 1 am, I a m . " Miss Plath's history allows little of the luxury of a f f i r m a t i o n .

ESTHER RETURNS from New York to her New England h o m e where, a f t e r an a t t e m p t e d suicide, she is c o n f i n e d to a mental i n s t i t u t i o n . At the hospital she gradually regains an ability to order ner life. On the last page, b e f o r e E s t h e r e n t e r s the examining r o o m ( w h e r e a group of d o c t o r s will decide on .the advisability of her release) she affirms: "I t o o k a deep b r e a t h and listened t o the brag of my heart.

"I am, I a m , I a m . " THE IMPACT IS in the short biography of Sylvia Plath included at the back of the b o o k . Miss think y o u are original and very witty.

"I learned this the day Jay Cee t o o k m e t o lunch with a f a m o u s poet. . . . " T h i s p o e t ate his salad with his fingers, leaf by leaf, while talking t o m e a b o u t the antithesis of n a t u r e and art. I c o u l d n ' t take my eyes off the pale, s t u b b y white fingers traveling back and f o r t h f r o m the p o e t ' s salad bowl to t h e p o e t ' s m o u t h with one d r i p p i n g l e t t u c e leaf a f t e r a n o t h e r .

No o n e giggled or whispered rude remarks. T h e poet m a d e eating with y o u r fingers the only natural and sensible thing to d o . " T H E R E A D E R sees as E s t h e r sees, and also b e c o m e s t e m p o r -

arily caught u n d e r the bell jar.

There is n o o t h e r way. The novel is hysterically f u n n y , and the hysteria i n t r o d u c e s one to the real thrust of the novel: that sanity is not so very safe f r o m insanity; that it might be o n e ' s self as easily as an Esther, w h o b e c o m e s so gradually o v e r w h e l m e d by life.

Leonard C o h e n , Jimi H e n d r i x , Kris Kristofferson and Miles Davis).

THE FACT T H A T it was all recorded at the Isle of Wight and Atlantic Pop Festivals has been totally discarded. C o l u m b i a no d o u b t e x p e c t s the n a m e s on the cover t o sell the a l b u m (which it will). What d o they care that once you get it h o m e and open it you discover t h a t all the e x c i t e m e n t of the festivals is gone and the three discs s o u n d like little more than s t u d i o c u t s with clapping d u b b e d in b e f o r e and a f t e r each song?

T h e y d o n ' t , but you s h o u l d . If people w a n t e d s t u d i o c u t s , they would have b o u g h t t h e m . But they b o u g h t Isle of Wight and t h e y ' r e going to be d i s a p p o i n t e d when they find t h a t the only part of the a l b u m t h a t indicates the Isle of Wight is the a l b u m cover.

ISLE OF WIGHT is a good album t h o u g h . T h e p e r f o r m a n c e s are, on the most p a r t , excellent.

And in the long r u n , I guess t h a t ' s what c o u n t s . T h e n again, when 1 listen t o Isle of Wight I still get a feeling t h e r e ' s s o m e t h i n g missing.

I d o n ' t think y o u ' d want to spend t h a t m u c h m o n e y on something t h a t isn't really c o m p l e t e .

But it's y o u r trip, or n o n - t r i p , as the case may be.

;a

I WAS F R I G H T E N E D by The Bell Jar. It was not because Esther was so easy to i d e n t i f y with (ah yes, a sensitive girl hurt by the w o r l d ) , but because her unpleasant aspects - a lack of ability tc be but selfish, an incapacity for c o m m u n i c a t i o n , a reluctance to reach out - are incapacities easy t o see in o n e ' s self. E s t h e r m a d e her bell jar descend and then did not k n o w h o w to pry it up. T h e prospect is terrifying.

It is a b e a u t i f u l l y written novel, able to s e d u c e the reader i n t o a n o t h e r ' s being and also able to free the reader f r o m that being.

But perhaps, just f o r myself (the reader may feel), I s h o u l d n ' t have liked it and r e s p o n d e d to it so deeply. It is a d i s t u r b i n g book.

One is advised t o read it on one's way o u t of, and n o t j o u r n e y into, a depression.

Endowment fund to further studies of American art A f u n d has been established at Hope to provide Herrel George T h o m a s Memorial Scholarships for s t u d e n t s interested in the study of early American art.

The $ 2 0 , 0 0 0 e n d o w m e n t fund was established by the provisions of the will of Carolina W. Petterson of North Bergen, N.J., who died in 1969. I n c o m e f r o m the f u n d will be used f o r the scholarships, which will be awarded to " w o r t h y and needy s t u d e n t s interested in the s t u d y of early American a r t , " according to the provisions of Mrs. P e t t e r s o n ' s will.

Higher Horizons?

by Bob B l a n t o n " O u r (Higher H o r i z o n s ' ) approach is also a cultural a p p r o a c h .

It is an a t t e m p t to help the s t u d e n t s of m i n o r i t y groups gain a genuine respect f o r the traditions, values and mores of groups that have long histories. This is not to be a study of i n a d e q u a t e housing, limited access to leisure facilities, street riots and the like. These are e n v i r o n m e n t a l variables and not cultural.

"TO ENABLE our youngsters to cope with their e n v i r o n m e n t , however, they must k n o w about customs, traditions, and the structure of institutions, as well as values and a t t i t u d e s . T h e latter two include beliefs a b o u t punishment, authority, cooperation, c o m p e t i t i o n , i n t r o s p e c t i o n , intellectuals, e t c . " - Bruce Struik. " A man once told me that in order for a m i n o r i t y group child to cope with his e n v i r o n m e n t , the child must not study his own e n v i r o n m e n t , but must be taught the m a j o r i t y ' s c u s t o m s and traditions of the m a j o r i t y . I t h o u g h t he was c r a z y . " - Bob B l a n t o n .

THERE IS o f t e n a disparity between the ideological foundations on which organizations are f o u n d e d and the practices which result f r o m t h e m . A re-evaluation of an organization b e c o m e s imperative when it begins to create more p r o b l e m s than it a t t e m p t s to solve - in essence, the organization b e c o m e s the problem.

Higher Horizons, a service organization of Hope College, is a case in p o i n t . Higher Horizons, as described in the college catalog, " A t t e m p t s to deal with the problems of children f r o m culturally deprived h o m e s . . . " N o t e that most people including the writer of the catalog assume there is such a thing as a " c u l t u r a l l y deprived h o m e " or a " c u l t u r a l l y deprived

p e r s o n . " I tend to believe that the people w h o put f o r t h the c o n c e p t cept are intellectually deprived victims of e t h n o c e n t r i s m .

HOPE COLLEGE has long taken pride in having Higher Horizons. However, a closer examination of this organization will not lead one to piety. Despite its i n t e n t i o n s . Higher Horizons has had m a n y negative results, s o m e of which I will discuss.

Higher H o n z o n s relies very heavily on its volunteers. Criticism of the v o l u n t e e r program is essential. T h e most obvious flaw in the v o l u n t e e r system is that there is n o screening process. For exa m p l e , listed as qualifications for the v o l u n t e e r is the following: " T h e most i m p o r t a n t single qualification is to be a good h u m a n being in the best sense of the t e r m . This includes the basic virtues of h o n e s t y , integrity, fairness, o b j e c t i v i t y , k i n d n e s s . . . " IT IS A M E R I C A ' S white society with its so-called virtues of h o n e s t y , integrity, fairness and kindness that is responsible for the s o c i o - e c o n o m i c c o n d i t i o n in which Higher Horizons y o u t h and families find themselves. Seen in this light, the s t a t e m e n t can hardly be viewed as a qualification.

HH m a k e s available kids it considers " d e p r i v e d " f o r the volunteers to work with and relate to.

Who is going to p r o t e c t the kids f r o m the volunteers? Who is going to p r o t e c t the kids f r o m the guiltridden liberal? T h e average HH v o l u n t e e r is white, middle-class and h o n e s t , "in the true sense of the t e r m . " He or she has n o c o n c e p t i o n of w h a t it is like to be p o o r , e x p l o i t e d , oppressed or even hungry.

THERE IS NO way to prevent the v o l u n t e e r f r o m forcing his or

her values on the y o u t h ; in fact, the HH organization states that the v o l u n t e e r should " e n c o u r a g e a high plane of personal behavior and c o n d u c t . " What will be encouraged but w h i t e , middle-class values?

T h e v o l u n t e e r and the entire HH program are, in essence, ins t r u m e n t s for i n d o c t r i n a t i n g the y o u t h into middle-class values.

For e x a m p l e , in a HH booklet are listed some n e e d s of children and how the v o l u n t e e r s a t t e m p t to meet these needs. One need cited for children is to be socially acc e p t e d . 1111 i n t e n d s to meet this need by teaching them to have "good manners" and "being c l e a n . " N o w h e r e does the booklet m e n t i o n the need for class consciousness. N o r does it mention the need to see through the materialistic basis of white American society.

HH, AS A L S O stated in this b o o k l e t , a t t e m p t s to f o r t i f y the child against discrimination. They intend to d o this " b y helping him to be able to rise above hurt feelings." At best, this is an incipid idea.

HH c o n f o r m s to the American tradition of dealing with the s y m p t o m s r a t h e r than the problem. We must s t o p a p p r o a c h i n g these children with the a t t i t u d e that they are " p o o r , deprived and d i s a d v a n t a g e d . " T h e y are simply kids. If this m e a n s HH must be abolished then it should be. HH tends to foster o u r false altruistic n o t i o n s . I am not saying that interaction with t h e y o u n g is bad.

It is quite desirable. We just d o n ' t need HH to d o it. HH is an institution for paternalization.

The only p r o b l e m with the p o o r is their p o v e r t y - the problem with the rich is their s t u p i d i t y and uselessness.

THE HOPE COLLEGE GENEVA FUND The rich objective to which the Geneva Fund is pledged is the spirit of international goodwill and world peace.

Youth

from

around the

world must catch the vision of the religious and political contributions that have come from Geneva. To assist them

in providing oppor-

tunities for

the development of

these spiritual and moral values, financial aid is available. Scholarships are granted to students who come from countries outside of the United States, particularly those from the non-western world who show promise of becoming Christian

leaders

in

their

respective

lands.

The corpus of the Fund is used

BY

Charlatan, lunatic, or... ?

by Steve Wykstra The Christian Gospel is first and f o r e m o s t s o m e t h i n g r e d e m p tive. Its c o n c e r n is not explanation, but salvation. And salvation is not, at least not Biblically, primarily a m a t t e r of individualistic piety or of afterlife. It is the r e d e m p t i o n of the whole man, in his c o m p l e x web of social relat i o n s ; it is the healing and restoration of life, wherever life needs to be healed and restored.

ON A HUMAN level, all of us know the d i f f e r e n c e b e t w e e n f r i e n d s and enemies, b e t w e e n b r o t h e r s and strangers. We k n o w h o w suspicion and hatred and fear c u t us off f r o m each o t h e r ; we k n o w also h o w trust and love and h o n e s t y unite us, and m a k e us blossom.

T h e Christian diagnosis of m a n ' s c o n d i t i o n is that all of life is rooted in m a n ' s relationship with G o d , and that that relationship is broken by t h e direction of m a n ' s will. T h e Christian G o s p e l does not aim j u s t to change m e n ' s beliefs a b o u t G o d ; it aims to t r a n s f o r m the c h a r a c t e r of their relationship with G o d . T h e word is " r e c o n c i l i a t i o n . " And the dimensions of the personal relationship c a n n o t be b o x e d i n t o the c o n f i n e s of cognitive belief, or tested by the rules of logic, even on a h u m a n level.

THIS MAKES the philosophical analysis of religious justification a c o m p l e x thing. It is because of the kind of thing we are trying to evaluate: not merely where y o u r head is at, but where y o u r heart is at; not merely believing that He is, but believing in Him. When we turn to the relation of faith and reason, we are b o t h

lowers. We can with s o m e decisiveness eliminate the first t w o options. It is the last t w o which are d e m a n d i n g .

THE QUESTION I put to you is this: Can you make sense of these historical records within u non r ttrTOtlc f r a m e w o r k , by interpreting t h e m as m i s i n t e r p r e t a t i o n s of an o n l y - h u m a n Jesus? The task c a n n o t be d o n e in a vacuum or answered with a flash of insight. It requires t h o u g h t f u l e x p o s u r e to the historical records and an unbiased evaluation of their credentials and weaknesses. Any intellectual conclusion worth c o m i n g to d e m a n d s as m u c h .

My p r e d i c t i o n is t h a t if you a t t e m p t to d o this with integrity, you will find y o u r non-theistic framework stretching to the breaking p o i n t , merely to give a c o h e r e n t a c c o u n t of w h o this man was and h o w the disciples could misinterpret h i m . It is a p r e d i c t i o n based on personal e x p e r i e n c e .

I SUBMIT THEN t h a t the facts a b o u t Jesus Christ have t h e p o w e r to break the spells on the twentieth c e n t u r y m i n d , be t h e y materialism, existentialism or occultism.

But they d o not merely have a spell on o u r minds. Christ meets us not just in the o p t i o n s of our heads but in the o p t i o n s of our hearts. His c o n c e r n is not merely our beliefs a b o u t G o d but our response to the living G o d .

THE CROSS of Jesus Christ has the p o w e r t o break t h e spell on the t w e n t i e t h c e n t u r y heart.

The cross of Jesus has the p o w e r to break t h r o u g h the f r i g h t e n e d but h a r d e n e d ego trip.

We are liberated to see the rich meaning faith gains when seen in the c o n t e x t of a personal relationship r a t h e r t h a n in the c o n t e x t of a pseudo-justification of intellectual belief. We are limited to evaluating on intellectual g r o u n d s only that which is a m a t t e r of intellect, i.e., of cognitive belief.

ONE SUCH MATTER of intellect is still unavoidable. Is there a Personal G o d or n o t ? I have said that the Gospel is n o t primarily to prove His existence but t o bring reconciliation of o u r relationship with Him. But, I t h i n k , Jesus does both.

My case is this. We have available certain d o c u m e n t s which purport to be historical a c c o u n t s of the ministerial death and resurrection of Jesus. Their reliability can be evaluated using the criteria which one would use to evaluate any historical d o c u m e n t . H o w well do they fare u n d e r such evaluation? I think very well but then I am n o t a historian. I c o m m e n d F. F. Bruce's The New Testament Documents: Are They Reliable? to y o u r h o n e s t and hard thinking. T h e n y o u tell me.

THIS HISTORICAL access to a historical Jesus provides s o m e facts to reason f r o m . We are conf r o n t e d with a very r e m a r k a b l e person w h o did s o m e very unusual things and made s o m e very staggering claims. What do we make of him?

Algae flourishes

Area sewage chokes lake continued from page I Probably the second most effective change which Holland has imposed on the lake is sewage.

French points out that just as much Lake Michigan water enters Macatawa by first being p u m p e d through the washers, f a u c e t s and toilets of Holland as rain water e n t e r s via the Black River. The nick-name of the lake, " L a k e Maca t o i l e t , " is t h e r e f o r e not totally unjustified.

THE P R I N C I P A L result of all the sewage is that the lake is extremely well fertilized with p h o s p h a t e s and nitrates. Algae grows prolifically, turning the w a t e r green. When the algae dies, it sinks to the b o t t o m and mixes with silt which flows d o w n the Black River f r o m eroding farmland.

" T h e silt on the b o t t o m of the l a k e , " points out associate professor of chemistry Donald Williams, " c o n s i s t s of up to 20 percent organic matter. G o o d p o t t e d - p l a n t soil which one b u y s in a store is a b o u t 30 percent organic m a t t e r . " Williams added t h a t this is a good e x a m p l e of an ecologist's definition of p o l l u t i o n ; natural resources out of place. If all of that fertilizer went o n t o lawns and c o r n fields we would have picturesque, green lawns and more, larger and tastier corn. Instead we have a nice green lake.

WILLIAMS N O T E S t h a t if the organic level of the water and s e d i m e n t gets t o o high and is not mixed with a s uf f icient supply of o x y g e n , the n u t r i e n t s will d e c o m pose via a reductive p a t h w a y instead of the n o r m a l oxidative p a t h w a y . This m e a n s that methane, a m o n i a and h y d r o g e n sulfide will be p r o d u c e d instead of carb o n dioxide, n i t r a t e and sulfate.

T h e result is a terrible, sewert y p e odor. French says t h a t since the lake is shallow (the east half is only six feet d e e p ) n o r m a l winds usually mix in e n o u g h oxygen to keep the water free of this odor.

The muck on the b o t t o m , however, tends to smell r a t h e r badly.

E L D O N G R E I J , associate professor of biology, says t h a t the presence of c h i r o n o m i d s (midge larvae which are c o m m o n l y called blood worms) and tubificids (sludge w o r m s ) u n d e r s c o r e s the low levels of o x y g e n in the sediment. These organisms use a special pigment, m u c h like h e m o globin in h u m a n b l o o d , t o maximize the e x t r a c t i o n of oxygen f r o m their e n v i r o n m e n t . Organisms w i t h o u t this t y p e of p i g m e n t c a n n o t adapt to the low oxygen levels.

Carp, Greij p o i n t s o u t , feed on l a k e - b o t t o m material and in the process keep the b o t t o m so stirred up that rooted v e g e t a t i o n has difficulty growing. It is possible that this high t u r b i d i t y and lack of rooted vegetation has been responsible for the decline of certain game fish such as the large m o u t h bass. In the 1940's Lake Macatawa was o n e of the best large m o u t h bass fishing s p o t s in western Michigan.

EVEN T H O U G H r o o t e d vegetation is d o w n , the total vegetation level is soaring because of the prolific growth of the blue-green algae. Alewives eat algae and o t h e r small organisms and their n u m b e r s are u p c o r r e s p o n d i n g l y . T h e absence of p r e d a t o r s such as lake trout significantly c o n t r i b u t e s to alewife growth.

In fact, says Greij, t h e alewivesi have been present in such large n u m b e r s that t h e y may have inhibited the g r o w t h of o t h e r types of fish. Thus, while the p o p u l a tion of game fish has gone d o w n s o m e w h a t over t h e past several years, the total n u m b e r of fish is still quite high.

Holland D e p a r t m e n t of Environmental Health says that the west half of the lake is usually safe for swimming. He notes, however, that a f t e r heavy rains much nutrient material washes into the lake causing high c o l l i f o r m levels.

Colliform levels in the eastern half of the lake have spiraled to over one t h o u s a n d times the safe level for s w i m m i n g near the Heinz outfall. High levels are also observed by the d e p a r t m e n t of env i r o n m e n t a l health near storm drains and o u t f a l l s of o t h e r industries.

T H E R E A R E A L S O pollutants which do n o t result f r o m high n u t r i e n t levels. O n e such pollutant is m e r c u r y , a highly toxic metal.

David Klein, p r o f e s s o r of chemistry, has measured c o n c e n t r a t i o n s of m e r c u r y in the water between one tenth and one p.p.b. (parts per billion), well below the 5 p.p.b. safe level set by the government.

However R o b e r t C. Harris of Florida State University has done e x p e r i m e n t s which show that levels of m e r c u r y as low as one t w e n t i e t h p . p . b . inhibit p h o t o s y n thesis in s o m e t y p e s of p l a n k t o n , the microscopic plant life which is prolific in clean water. The long term e f f e c t s of the mercury are not clear. What is clear is that mercury does n o t make the water any healthier.

N u m e r o u s o t h e r types of pollution taint the Jake, but they are either not well characterized or their levels have not been monitored long e n o u g h to draw any conclusions. F o r instance, if t o o much acid or base is p u t i n t o the water the d e g r a d a t i o n process can be f o u l e d u p and the lake c a n n o t clean itself f o r a period of time.

Probably the m o s t c o m m o n o f f e n der in this c a t e g o r y is acetic acid, also k n o w n as vinegar. O t h e r acids and bases are d u m p e d in by the city's various industries.

OTHER P O L L U T A N T S include pigments, arsenic, lead, salt and o t h e r minerals and industrial wastes. At this p o i n t it is n o t clear what e f f e c t these p o l l u t a n t s have on the e c o s y s t e m .

Lake Macatawa is n o t terribly polluted by m a n y p e o p l e ' s standards. In fact the lake is more alive t o d a y t h a n it has ever been.

U n f o r t u n a t e l y f o r us, the life that fills the lake is n o t b e a u t i f u l t o most of us. In the f u t u r e Holland will have to t r e a t the lake kindly to keep it alive. Vast changes will have to be m a d e if the lake is to take on the look t h a t most people want it to have.
