Time and pressure Wednesday Hope College students participated in the nationwide moratorium for peace in Vietnam, or perhaps more correctly for the removal of American interests f r o m the originally civil war in South Vietnam. Nationally, the m o r a t o r i u m brought together over a million people in a concerted e f f o r t to

changes in Vietnam policy. This fact has served to discourage many people about the chances of unilateral action by the United States in Vietnam while President Nixon is in office.

Though the prospects for an immediate change in America's position are dim, there is little to indicate that Mr. Nixon believes that unilateral action is out of the question. That he has refused to yield to public opinion to date shows little more than his awareness of the ficklenature of public opinion. A n d President Nixon has gone to great lengths to emphasize the Vietnamization of the war.

Yet in spite of the October 15 morat o r i u m and a massive march on Washington planned for November 15, President Nixon has made no major policy changes. Though he has pushed for changes in the Selective Service System to make it more just, and has fired General Lewis Hershey, moves that have been seen as attempts to placate American y o u t h , he has made no substantial

An anniversary This week marks the third anniversary of the unveiling of the masterplan. Originally scheduled t o be completed in ten years, the master plan may take much longer for completion.

To date, one of the eight buildings of the plan has been constructed. However, that building, Dykstra Hall, was b u i l t by a contractor w o r k i n g independently of the architects of the master plan.

This afternoon, bids will be opened for two more parts of the plan. The DeWitt Student Cultural and Social Center and the Wichers addition to the Nykerk Hall of Music represent a large investment of money for the College. But even more, they represent a large investment of time and hope for thousands of students at Hope College. They have been inspired and disappointed numerous times on the question of the SCSC. The students who originally labored for the construction of this building are no longer students at Hope College. They spent months and years trying to persuade and t r y i n g to raise funds for the building.

All along, they were given encouragement by the Administration of the College.

But they were often led to believe that their efforts w o u l d soon be rewarded. Ever since President Calvin VanderWerf told the student body in 1964, "We'll have a student center so fast it'll make their heads swim, up to "Groundbreaking" ceremonies and beyond, students have been told that the SCSC was right around the corner.

We certainly rejoice that bids are being opened today for the building. But we must also caution all those who have been waiting for so long that this is only one more step in the master plan.

Perhaps it is time to reevaluate realistically the basic presuppositions of the master plan. It is not impossible to complete the schedule called for on the one hand, but on the other, we must not be led astray by the consistantly overly-optimistic statements made about the progress of the plan.

We urge each student, and even more, each alumnus of Hope College, to carefully consider the f u t u r e of our institution. For only by w o r k i n g together and planning together realistically can we achieve the goals before us.

T h e r e has b e e n a great deal of discussion c o n c e r n i n g sex e d u c a t i o n in the schools.

Actually c h i l d r e n are g e t t i n g m o r e sex e d u c a t i o n in o n e week's viewing of television c o m m e r c i a l s t h a n they'll get in f o u r y e a r s in the classroom, and most of this T V - t y p e sex e d u c a t i o n can b e c o m e very distorted.

F O R E X A M P L E , T H E o t h e r evening 1 was w a t c h i n g a c o m m e r c i a l for a 1970 a u t o m o b i l e . T h e girl a n n o u n c e r challenged t h e virility of t h e TV viewer and w a n t e d to k n o w if he was man e n o u g h to drive it. If he wasn t, she said, t h e n he obviously w a s n ' t m a n e n o u g h to get her.

Well, 1 f r a n k l y d i d n ' t care that m u c h a b o u t t h e girl because her legs were too skinny. But I could see the e f f e c t it was having o n several subteen-agers in my living room.

IT'S T O U G H ENOUGH getting through p u b e r t y , but w h e n you have to prove y o u r m a n h o o d by first p u r c h a s i n g a $ 4 , 0 0 0 s p o r t s m o d e l , y o u might as well t h r o w in t h e towel b e f o r e you start.

O N C E A G A I N I C O U L D see the subteen-agers t r y i n g to figure it all o u t . By rights, t h e p r o p e r t hi ng was for the girl to be l e f t at t h e door. But the m o u t h - w a s h g u a r a n t e e d n o t h i n g but t r o u b l e , a n d when I m ade the c o m m e n t that it was b e t t e r for a girl to have bad breath t h a n f o r her t o get i n t o this k i n d of s i t u a t i o n 1 was h o o t e d d o w n by e v e r y o n e in t h e r o o m .

Later on, a blonde b e a u t y was t h r o w i n g herself all o v e r a m a n who had been wearing a c e r t a i n kind of after-shave lotion.

The man had it made in the c o m m e r c i a l . I tried to warn the y o u n g men in the r o o m t h a t wearing after-shave l o t i o n was no g u a r a n t e e of success w h e n it c a m e t o b l o n d e beauties. 1 p o i n t e d out that b e f o r e 1 was married 1 had used the very after-shave lotion a d v e r t i s e d and was slapped in the face six times b e f o r e I decided to go h o m e .

O N E O F T H E M E M B E R S of the y o u n g g r o u p r e t o r t e d that my e x p e r i e n c e t o o k place b e f o r e t h e r e was television.

T h e next commercial showed a couple walking t h r o u g h high grass hand in hand.

T h e y obviously were u p to no good and were l o o k i n g f o r a clear area to spread out their b l a n k e t . But before t h e y got d o w n t o business, the m a n lit a cigarette a n d t h e n h a n d e d it to the girl who t o o k a p u f f and l o o k e d at the guy as if the deal had been made.

T h e final c o m m e r c i a l had t o do with s h a m p o o . The y o u n g l a d y was s h o w n s h a m p o o i n g h e r hair in the s h o w e r . A f t e r that it had b e c o m e so silky t h a t her escort for the evening could do n o t h i n g but run his h a n d s t h r o u g h it all night long. 1 made t h e o b s e r v a t i o n that r u n n i n g y o u r hand t h r o u g h a girl's hair f o r a n y length of time was not o n l y bad for her scalp but became very tiring.

NOW O N C E A G A I N 1 wasn't moved by this, mainly because I have a fear of snakes.

But 1 could see t h e kids w a t c h i n g this scene and believing t h a t an act of love had to be p r e c e d e d by b o t h parties first s m o k i n g a cigarette.

But 1 c o u l d n ' t seem to get the message across. In less t h a n t w o h o u r s t h e subteenagers had b e e n e d u c a t e d t o believe t h a t if y o u drove a s p o r t s car, s m o k e d cigarettes, used m o u t h wash a n d after-shave l o t i o n , not t o m e n t i o n s h a m p o o , y o u w o u l d achieve the f i n a l act of bliss. Are t h e s e kids in f o r a surprise.

1 tried to explain to t h e subteen-agers t h a t this was not true and in m a n v cases could cause u n n e c e s s a r y fires in bed.

A little l a t e r we hit a m o u t h - w a s h c o m m e r c i a l . T h e girl was s t u n n i n g , but w h e n b o y s t o o k her h o m e they j u s t l e f t her at the d o o r w i t h o u t kissing her g o o d night.

Of course, we can always stan in N a m and lose. M a y b e t h e n we w o u l d s h a k e e n o u g h d r a w e r s in this c o u n t r y t o get o n the m o v e .

A girlfriend finally p r o d u c e d a b o t t l e of the m o u t h - w a s h , and on the very next o u t i n g her d a t e r e f u s e d to let her leave him.

'Midnight Cowboy : a depiction of emptiness Editor's Note: This week's anchor review is w r i t t e n by anchor critiques editor Robert Kieft. He reviews the John SchlesingerJerome Hellman production of The Midnight Cowboy.

neon night, the fearlessness dissolves i n t o t h e Tear that creeps silently and insidiously f r o m the dark of the hungry s t o m a c h and the aloneness of a sea of pitiless faces.

by Robert Kieft Hxamine f o r a m o m e n t , if you will, the A m e r i c a n D r e a m . Consider the bright-with-promise misty golden s h a d o w s of its y o u t h , the shining eyes of its wishes, the thrilling o p t i m i s m of its red cells. T u r n y o u r back on the sick Old World and go West, y o u n g man and old alike, to the new E l d o r a d o , the glorious antithesis that negates all the sordid, ugly and d e a d - e n d old and makes all things new in the sunlight and blue skies of its s p e c u l a t i o n s and f o n d e s t wild designs.

C O N S I D E R F O R a m o m e n t , if you will, the y o u n g m a n , the vision of o u r hopes. N o t e the blond halo falling on his b r o w , the clear blue of his eyes, the square of his jaw, the unsullied w h i t e n e s s of his t e e t h . He is a y o u n g man of d r e a m s and aspirations and programs for t h e f u t u r e , a y o u n g man w h o can imagine seeing a bliss of his o w n design in his lifetime.

He is t h e man-angel, t h e rom a n c e and h e r o of o u r vision; in the pride of his y o u t h and the joy of his m a n h o o d , in t h e pleasure he takes in his strength and in his c o n f i d e n c e , he goes out i n t o the world to carve out his place in the sun and write his n a m e across the face of heaven.

T H E G R E A T C I T Y is his goal; t h e r e , on t h e N e w F r o n t i e r , will he prove himself. T h e r e , where the streets are paved w i t h gold and t h e g u t t e r s r u n n i n g w i t h nectar; there will he m a k e his success.

The men will d e f e r to him and the w o m e n creep adoringly t o his b e d ; all t h a t lives and b r e a t h e s or is i n a n i m a t e t h e r e will be his f o r the asking. For he is t h e s t r e n g t h of d e t e r m i n a t i o n and fearlessness, and t h e city is the f r o n t i e r land of

his d r e a m s and the c r e a t u r e of his confident hand.

Hail, t h e c o n q u e r i n g Hero c o m e s ! He arrives in a bus, chewing gum r a t h e r o b n o x i o u s l y , b u t , ah the insouciant magnificence o i his smile! T h e streets of gold turn out t o be paved with d r u n k s as well, but o h , well, lie is t a k e n by the f a t t y , brassy middle-aging y e n t a in her vulgar p u r p l e penthouse with the black sheets. He is taken by t h e derelict, by t h e faggy little high-school brat, by the creatures and denizens of t h e city w h o , s o m e h o w , seem m o r e concerned with themselves t h a n with service to the Hero.

S T R A N G E : T H E Y d o n ' t fall at his feet and beg on their k n e e s f o r his f a v o r ; t h e y d o n ' t pry u p t h e golden paving stones f r o m t h e streets and pile t h e m at his d o o r .

E l d o r a d o is tarnished gold, hardly f o u r t e e n k a r a t ; m a y b e it's even the gold of fools.

His Dream b e c o m e s his Nightmare. T h e h o p e s die, and t h e s p e c u l a t i o n s collapse, and the visions and bright eyes of y o u t h are buried in the r u b b l e at t h e back of a c o n d e m n e d t e n e m e n t .

His r o m a n c e is gone; mere survival is the p a r a m o u n t q u e s t i o n . T h e old c o n f i d e n c e ebbs o u t i n t o the

Dykstra to present piano recital Sunday Dr. Brian Dykstra will present a p i a n o recital S u n d a y at 3 p.m. in D i m n e n t Memorial Chapel.

T h e recital will include t w o preludes and fugues f r o m the Well-Tempered Clavier by J o h a n n Sebastian Bach, Sonata in C Minor, opus 1J1, Maestoso and Arietta by L u d w i g van B e e t h o v e n , and Olivier Messiaen's " R e g a r d du S i l e n c e " f r o m Vingt Regards sur I'Enfant Jesus. Dr. D y k s t r a will c o n c l u d e with his Sonata for Piano, 1968.

Dr. Dykstra received his B.S. degree f r o m t h e Julliard S c h o o l of Music in 1 9 6 4 . In 1969 he received his D.M.A. degree f r o m t h e E a s t m a n S c h o o l of Music. During 1967-68 he s t u d i e d in Salzburg, Austria on a Fullbright Fellowship, appearing in solo recitals and c h a m b e r m u s i c c o n c e r t s at the M o z a r t e u m A c a d e m y of Music.

Dr. D y k s t r a , t h e son of Dr. and Mrs. D. Ivan D y k s t r a , a t t e n d e d H o p e College f o r t w o years, studying under Dr. A n t h o n y K o o i k e r . Presently he is an assistant professor of music at the College of Wooster in Wooster, Ohio.

D R . B R I A N J. D Y K S T R A At Wooster, Dr. D y k s t r a has appeared in c h a m b e r music concerts with violinist Michael Davis, a winner of the Carl Flesch Comp e t i t i o n a n d participant in the 1962 Tchaikovsky C o m p e t i t i o n in Moscow.

G O N E , G O N E FOR him the sunlit blue skies and golden dream-idylls of y o u t h , gone the gold-bright visions of the crystal city and its towers to be t a m e d .

Now he is the child of the f u m e s and n e o n , s p a w n e d in the crush and heartlessness, t h e i n d i f f e r e n c e of the City of Death and F e a r , the American Nightmare.

In trying to talk a b o u t The Midnight Cowboy it is almost impossible, for this reviewer, anyway,to say a n y t h i n g w i t h o u t launching into panegyric. It is a brilliant film, brilliantly conceived and executed and brilliantly a c t e d . It is a film to see several times with increasing a p p r e c i a t i o n of its art, and one to r e m e m b e r with d e e p pleasure.

The Midnight Cowboy is a magnificent study in c i n e m a t i c naturalism. T h e f i l m ' s hypersensitivity and perfect recreation of the e n v i r o n m e n t , of the vast and c o m p l e x personality which is New York City, is u n c a n n y . F r o m the deserted s u b w a y p l a t f o r m t o the m o u s e - w o m a n to the pleasures of

F o r t y - S e c o n d Street to t h e Warhol people and t h e lonely conventioneer, the film is undeviatingly f a i t h f u l to its vision of life and t h e forces in t h e City that c o m b i n e to change and a l m o s t , u l t i m a t e l y , defeat Joe Buck. T h e way in which the film itself is put t o g e t h e r - t h e way in which it selects and presents its m a t e r i a l - c r e a t e s a world for the viewer t h a t , by the end of the film, b e c o m e s u n b e a r a b l y present and real.

THE B A T T L E R A G E S as to which of t h e t w o leading actors is the b e t t e r . It is, of course, a question of taste and one which d o e s n ' t have to and really can't be answered. But were this reviewer faced with the necessity of decision as to whose p e r f o r m a n c e he most liked, he'd side with J o n Voigt.

Dustin H o f f m a n has to play a sick man, and he does so s u p e r b l y .

But Mr. Voigt, is faced with playing, simply, a m a n : a m a n w h o during the course of the p o r t i o n of his life which we see is faced with some drastically new situations and m a k e s a m a j o r decision a b o u t the kind of person he is.

IT IS F O R B R I N G I N G off t h e " e d u c a t i o n of J o e B u c k " that Mr. Voigt's p e r f o r m a n c e is so enjoy-

able. One of the highpoints of the film is his t r e a t m e n t of the final scene, in which the silence of his face's expression of an u n k n o w n and u n n a m e a b l e fear and helplessness b u r n s itself indelibly into the memory.

The Midnight Cowboy is a degrading film. It s h o w s us the sordid and despicable e m p t i n e s s of our h u m a n i t y - o u r selfishness and greed and a p a t h y . It shows us the hideous, nightmarish realities of psychological and moral destruction which the Dream of America and her culture have created. And it leaves us little hope.

BUT T H A T IS not to say that it leaves us with none at all. The vision and r o m a n c e are gone forever in the bitter irony of the dead b o d y behind a w i n d o w that reflects the Florida that we dreamed and that might have saved us.

T h e r e is s o m e t h i n g in the face of J o e Buck, however, that says that even though the American Dream of our innocence and hoping y o u n g will is dead and our ability to believe almost mortally h u r t , there is still the chance that we shall survive and bring what joy we can to the Nightmare.

Also on the island were large n u m b e r s of paleskinned s u b - h u m a n - t y p e beings who were e x c l u d e d f r o m the main colony.

cept one wise old man, who walked a w a y shaking his head and m u t t e r i n g , T o o l , Fool! Who the f— cares a b o u t sitting on t h e toilet next to a black m a n . ' T h a t ' s all I n t e g r a t i o n is, civil rights in the s—house!"

THE ART OF ARSON " T h e black m a n is c o n s t a n t l y subjected t o e m p t y words, e m p t y dreams, and hollow promises.

Black America is s u b j e c t e d t o these fruitless promises because whitey c a n n o t be reached t h r u talking, o n e man to a n o t h e r .

White America u n d e r s t a n d s neither the urgency of black dem a n d s nor the seriousness of our plight. He c a n n o t " f e e l " t h e problem in o t h e r words. " T h e r e is, however, an artistic m e t h o d by which black people can relate t o h o n k i e s the necessity f o r direct a c t i o n n o w ! T h i s method is q u i t e simple and inexpensive. To create this work of art, all the materials n e e d e d are a Coke bottle, rage, gasoline, m a t c h and a white e s t a b l i s h m e n t . S o m e h o w this crude art m a k e s a believer of foolish and b a c k w a r d whites. " W h i t e folks listen: I MAKE NO H O L L O W P R O M I S E . T H E R E V O L U T I O N C O M E T H AND AS T H E P H R A S E G O E S " Y O U R ASS IS G R A S S . " T h e only way out is right, and whitey doesn't k n o w the m e a n i n g of right. Stand warned, my art will be y o u r ruin, y o u r despair my j u s t i c e . " WHAT WE B E L I E V E "We believe t h a t black people should not be f o r c e d to fight in the military service to d e f e n d a racist g o v e r n m e n t that does not protect us. We will not fight and kill o t h e r people of color in the world who, like black p e o p l e , are

being victimized by the white racist g o v e r n m e n t of America. We will p r o t e c t ourselves f r o m the force and violence of the racist police and the racist military, by whatever m e a n s necessary.

"We believe in an e d u c a t i o n a l system that will give to our people a k n o w l e d g e of self. If a man does not have k n o w l e d g e of himself and his position in society and the world, t h e n he has little c h a n c e to relate to a n y t h i n g else."

ON O P P R E S S I O N " T o die for the fascist imperialistic war mongers of the U.S. and o t h e r s in the world; to die for the oppressive ruling circles of the capitalistic, aggressive, i n h u m a n e , atrocious, genecidal regimes is a death lighter than a f e a t h e r which a destructive w i n d s t o r m can blow a b o u t at r a n d o m will." " T r u e f r e e d o m c a n n o t begin to be b o m until all police and repressive forces of the state are controlled by the p e o p l e . " Y o u r s in Blackness

MRS. M A R I E D u r u f l e will also p e r f o r m with her h u s b a n d . She has been co-organist with him at Saint-Etienne-du-Mont and she has herself composed several pieces for p i a n o and organ.

When she and her h u s b a n d first visited t h e United States, t h e y were invited to appear at t h e National C o n v e n t i o n of the American Guild of Organists in Philadelphia. Mrs. D u r u f l e ' s performance was u n a n i m o u s l y praised and q u o t e d as being " t h e unq u e s t i o n e d highest point of the entire c o n v e n t i o n . "

tain r h y t h m s . . . I t r e p r e s e n t s t h e idea of c o m f o r t , of f a i t h and of hope."

T h e Requiem is in nine parts and uses an orchestra of triple winds and brass, strings in five parts, harp, celestra, percussion and organ, mixed c h o r u s and mezzo-soprano and baritone solos.

THE MOST R E C E N T recording of D u r u f l e ' s Requiem, made in the church Saint-Etenne-du-Mont, was awarded the G r a n d Prix du Disque by the Charles C m s Academy.

Those Hope College s t u d e n t s wishing t o a t t e n d this c o n c e r t must pick up complimentary tickets in the S t u d e n t Activities O f f i c e in Van Raalte 102.

T h e first part of T h u r s d a y ' s p e r f o r m a n c e will consist of Mr. and Mrs. D u r u f l e playing several organ pieces. T h e second half of the program will f e a t u r e Mr. Durufle directing his Requiem.

According to Mr. Davis of the H o p e College music d e p a r t m e n t , " i t ' s almost like having Handel here t o direct the Messiah."

Local moritorium shows student concern

Who are the trustees?

by Drew Hinderer This weekend, an exciting event will take place. I'm not refering to h o m e c o m i n g , a l t h o u g h the fact that it, too, is going on is not unrelated to the event in question. T h e SDS describes such events this way: " O n c e m o r e the fat corporation executives and lying politicians are getting together for a ruling class festival... they'll sit back watching this game the same way they oversee (the rest of y o u r life)." The Board of Trustees of Hope College is meeting.

THIS MEETING represents one of the t w o "festivals" held every school year u n d e r normal circumstances, meetings a b o u t which t h e s t u d e n t body k n o w s little or nothing. What does go on at a Board of Trustees meeting?

I only wish 1 could tell you. I have sought the answer all over Van Raalte Hall, and while 1 discovered lots of interesting things (like a wild flurry to get the b o o k s in order and an unwillingness to let me see t h e m ) , no one would divulge a n y t h i n g a b o u t the u p c o m i n g meeting.

IT IS CLEAR f r o m all the frenzied business going on there that something frightening (at least to some people) is coming; I have heard all sorts of r u m o r s , for example, a b o u t fear that the moratorium might explode i n t o violent protest while the T r u s t e e s are here ( m a k i n g some people look very bad). But as to the exact nature of what the p o w e r s of that group of people is, 1 could learn nothing.

So 1 am left to c o n j e c t u r e . I thought it might be interesting to examine the roles of the trustees elsewhere and draw s o m e inferences a b o u t what o u r s must be doing.

WHO ARE T H E trustees? According to Morton R a u h whose

book T/ie Trusteeship of Colleges and Universities is a study of trusteeship, t h e usual Board of T r u s t e e s is p r e d o m i n e n t l y male (85%), over f o r t y (99%), white (98.7%), Protestant (82%), Republican (66%), monied (over S 3 0 , 0 0 0 per year, 87%, and over 5 5 0 , 0 0 0 , 69%) and spends less than t w e n t y hours a year in raising f u n d s for their colleges (72% to 84%,).

T r u s t e e s feel that s t u d e n t s who "actively disrupt the f u n c t i o n i n g of a college should be expelled or s u s p e n d e d (71%), but they feel that faculty m e m b e r s should "have the right to express their o p i n i o n s a b o u t any issue they wish w i t h o u t fear of reprisal ( 7 8 % ) . " They also favor by large majorities that " t h e college should c o n t i n u e to have a large role in the d e v e l o p m e n t of the personal values of its students, and favor the c o n t i n u a n c e of an in loco parentis role for the i n s t i t u t i o n . " T H E Y F E E L that the legitimate body for making all rules decisions on s t u d e n t affairs is the administration, with students " d i v o r c e d f r o m the actual decision m a k i n g . " All in all, Mr. Rauh concludes, " t h e survey suggests that trustees would grant very little a u t h o r i t y to s t u d e n t s . " I think that most of these conclusions are not likely to arouse great disagreement a m o n g our board. But t h e n , that is only c o n j e c t u r e , since 1 have never had the o p p o r t u n i t y to talk to a member a b o u t his ideas and decisions.

A N D T H A T , T O O , is not surprising, considering they are not usually present in a n official capacity more than twice a year, and then their meetings are closed. ( T h e y do appear briefly at various o t h e r i m p o r t a n t f u n c t i o n s however, like the a c c e p t a n c e and thanksgiving party for the DeWitt

brothers' generous gift, and the start of c o n s t r u c t i o n on the new S t u d e n t Center. And of course, at Homecoming.)

Oh noble Board of Trustees, do not think that no o n e cares a b o u t who you are and what you are doing. We are c o n c e r n e d a b o u t o u r ridiculous e n d o w m e n t per student of slightly over a t h o u s a n d dollars (ridiculous by comparison to, say, Oberlin's at a cool fivefigure number starting with three). We are c o n c e r n e d a b o u t your unquestioning stance in favor of in loco parentis. We are concerned a b o u t y o u r willingness to ignore administrative bungling.

We are c o n c e r n e d a b o u t y o u r patience with regard to your S t u d e n t Center while it is we who must do the waiting. So let me join y o u in hoping that y o u r u p c o m i n g meeting might be f r u i t f u l . And let us k n o w how you c o m e out.

T h e m o r a t o r i u m day was climaxed b y a peace m a r c h at 6 : 3 0 p . m . T h e marchers l e f t f r o m t h e Pine Grove and walked t o the corner of River Ave. and N i n t h St. Here a b o u t half of t h e 7 0 0 marchers t u r n e d to march d o w n River t o Eighth St., while the other half c o n t i n u e d toward Kollen Park.

POLICE I N F O R M E D m e m b e r s of the first group t h a t t h e y were marching in violation of their parade p e r m i t , but the g r o u p began singing, "We are marching t o the Windmill."

T w o other times during the route d o w n Eighth St. t o Windmill Island t h e marchers were told by police with loud speakers that they were breaking the law. The second group, which was marching u n d e r t h e p r o t e c t i o n of a parade permit, was led t o C e n t e n nial Park by a police escort.

T H E S T U D E N T organizers of the march had originally re-

Library periodicals being reclassified All periodicals and microfilms in Van Zoeren Library are in the process of being reclassified according to the Dewey Decimal System and will be placed on the library shelves with the proper books.

Head librarian Edward Whittaker said t h a t the purpose of the reclassification project is to make research easier for the s t u d e n t .

Presently, a s t u d e n t has three places to look for materials in the library - t h e book shelves, the periodical section and the microfilm r o o m .

A f t e r the periodicals and microfilms are reclassified, the stu-

dent will be able to find all the materials he needs on a given subject in one section of the library, Mr. Whittaker said.

All periodicals are e x p e c t e d to be reclassified and moved to different shelves by Christmas vacation. I n f o r m a t i o n a b o u t the realignment of the periodicals will be posted at the r e f e r e n c e desk.

Mr. Whittaker also a n n o u n c e d that he is examining the possiblity of having a s m o k i n g lounge in the library. Before a s m o k i n g lounge can be made, a r o o m must be approved by the fire marshall and p r o p e r ventilation installed, he said.

q u e s t e d a parade permit t o march d o w n E i g h t h St. t o Windmill Island. T h e request was granted with t h e stipulation that each marcher must pay the regular admission charge t o t h e Island.

In C e n t e n n i a l Park, nearly 350 m a r c h e r s were addressed briefly

by Rev. Pontier. In Windmill Island Park, his s o n , Glenn Pontier, addressed the m a r c h e r s there. In a d d i t i o n , Chaplain William Hillegonds s p o k e t o the group at the Windmill.

S T U D E N T S H A D removed the w o o d e n crosses f r o m t h e Pine Grove and planted them along the road at Windmill Island Park.

Many lit candles or said short prayers. They walked silently back t o the H o p e c a m p u s using the sidewalks.

According t o junior Jim Rubins, every F r i d a y through Nov. 15 a g r o u p of s t u d e n t s led by s t u d e n t s f r o m Western Theological S e m i n a r y will march d o w n Eighth St. to protest the war in V i e t n a m . T h e total n u m b e r of marchers will equal the n u m b e r of American d e a t h s in Vietnam the previous week. A parade permit for t o d a y ' s d e m o n s t r a t i o n has already been obtained, Rubins noted.

T h e C o f f e e G r o u n d s , center of much of the activity during t h e entire week of t h e Vietnam morat o r i u m , is c o n t i n u i n g t o observe the m o r a t o r i u m t o n i g h t . J o h n Boonstra, manager of t h e G r o u n d s , a n n o u n c e d t h a t films will be shown tonight along with programs of protest music and other special events. T o m o r r o w night t h e G r o u n d s will be closed in observance of the last day of moratorium week.

During m o s t of the day Wednesday, A m e r i c a n Friends Service C o m m i t t e e counsellors advised s t u d e n t s of f a c t s relating to t h e Selective Service laws. According to Boonstra, the counsellors " c o u l d n ' t believe the s t u d e n t reaction."

Soccer team defeated

by Bill H o f f m a n anchor Reporter

MacMurray had already built u p a 4-0 lead.

What will this huge t h r o n g at Riverview see?

What will this vast radio audience at h o m e hear?

T h e a n s w e r - - a win!

Yes, a win! T o m o r r o w , the Flying D u t c h m e n are going to win a f o o t b a l l game.

A N D f T ' S A B O U T time. A f t e r all, the O r a n g e and Blue gridders of Russ D e V e t t e h a v e n ' t won a f o o t b a l l g ame since O c t o b e r 26, 1968, w h e n the a r o u s e d Dutchmen f o u g h t off a late K a l a m a z o o drive and w h i p p e d the m i g h t y (even thi n) H o r n e t s , 7-2.

Since t h e n , H o p e has gone seven g a m e s w i t h o u t a victory.

T h e D u t c h , of course, have lost some h e a r t b r e a k e r s in that s t r e t c h , by such scores as 45-0, 54-13, 40-7, 23-14, 31-0, and 42-18. A 13-13 tie with Franklin mars the o t h e r w i s e u n b l e m i s h e d record.

I N C I D E N T A L L Y , IN the past seven games, Ho p e has been o u t scored by its o p p o n e n t s 248-65.

Still, I am c o n f i d e n t of victory t o m o r r o w . For one thing, p e r c e n t age is on the side of the Du t c h .

You can't lose ' e m all.

Furthermore, tomorrow is H o m e c o m i n g , a n d H o p e has had a r e m a r k a b l e ability to win H o m e c o m i n g games the past few years.

In 1966. first-place Albion came into Holland w i t h o u t a d e f e a t .

T h e f i r e d - u p D u t c h m e n , however, k n o c k e d o f f the Britons, 1 2-9.

TWO S E A S O N S ago, H o p e def e n d e r s i n t e r c e p t e d seven Adrian passes at H o m e c o m i n g and the D u t c h beat the Bulldogs, 19-7.

And last year, J o n C o n s t a n t came off the bench t o replace t h e inj u r e d G r o y K a p e r and led the D u t c h t o a 33-28 t r i u m p h over the Olivet C o m e t s .

T o m o r r o w ' s o p p o n e n t s will be those same C o m e t s , led once again by q u a r t e r b a c k Eric Witzke, a fine passer. T h u s far. Olivet has fashioned a r a t h e r poor 1-4 r e c o r d .

In the s e c o n d half of the Alma game last S a t u r d a y , C o a c h DeV e t t e ' s crew l o o k e d as if it was finally s t a r t i n g to put it all t o g e t h er. T h e o f f e n s e ' s 82-yard scoring drive was particularly pleasing to t h e eye. In fact, that ball game could have been m u c h closer, had it not been for a bad snap f r o m c e n t e r and a f u m b l e d p u n t .

MAYBE T O M O R R O W all the pieces will fall in place for the D u t c h m e n . And m a y b e , just maybe, we'll be able t o see C a r l t o n G o l d e r back d e e p o n k i c k o f f and punt returns.
