Police take no action against peace marchers The Holland police d e p a r t m e n t has t u r n e d over to the College Judicial Board the q u e s t i o n of disciplinary action for violation of a parade p e r m i t on O c t . 1 5.

H O L L A N D POLICE chief Leslie VanBeveren c o n f e r r e d with Dean of S t u d e n t s R o b e r t DeYoung, S t u d e n t Congress president Tim Liggett and Judicial Board chief justice Judi C o o p e r last T h u r s d a y . In his r e m a r k s .

Chief VanBeveren said that marchers in the Oct. 15 moratoriu m peace m a r c h violated their parade permit when t h e y m a r c h e d on Eighth St. T o Windmill Island.

He n o t e d that a permit had been o b t a i n e d for a procession f r o m the c a m p u s to Kollen Park, with the r o u t e to follow T e n t h St. A b o u t half t h e marchers, however, chose t o p r o c e e d on River Ave. to Eighth St., t h e n to Windmill Island. At three p o i n t s during the march, this group was told that it was violating the law and the established parade p e r m i t . " B Y M A R C H I N G ON Eighth St., the group violated city parade laws as well as state regulations, because Eighth St. is part of a state h i g h w a y , " Chief VanBeveren said. " T h e marchers also violated laws c o n c e r n i n g the o p e r a t i o n of Windmill I s l a n d , " he s t a t e d . T h e marchers failed to pay the admission charge to the Island. " T h e m a r c h in violation of the law was a p p a r e n t l y instigated by a small g r o u p of s t u d e n t s , " Chief VanBeveren said. ' T h e other marchers simply f o l l o w e d a l o n g . " T h e police chief did not i d e n t i f y the alleged instigators.

T h e police studied press photographs t a k e n by The Holland

Evening Sentinel in an a t t e m p t to i d e n t i f y the alleged instigators of the procession.

"WE PLAN TO T A K E no court action against the m a r c h e r s , " he c o n t i n u e d . " T h e Judicial Board should handle the case in its own w a y . " He made no r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s as to what action the Board should t a k e against the marchers.

Nearly 3 0 0 marchers were involved in t h e peace march to Windmill Island. A second g r o u p of the same size was issued a permit to march to Kollen Park, but was re-routed to C e n t e n n i a l Park instead by police escorts. " T h e o f f i c e r told us he didn't k n o w that we had planned to march to Kollen P a r k , " said morat o r i u m organizer Cassius Bultman.

"1 think the police just wanted to get the whole thing over w i t h . " The Judicial Board discussed the issue last T h u r s d a y , but made no s t a t e m e n t . "We have no f o r m a l c o m p l a i n t on which to a c t , " noted Board member Judi C o o p e r . "1 d o n ' t think we can do a n y t h i n g , " she said. Jan D z u n n a , a n o t h e r Judicial Board m e m b e r , s t a t e d , "We don't plan t o do a n y t h i n g a b o u t the mar cher s. Unless t h e police bring a c o m p l a i n t and provide evidence t o prove the guilt of t h e s t u d e n t s involved, there is no need for us to make any statement or take any action."

MISS D Z U R I N A felt the issue was o u t s i d e the jurisdiction of the Board even if a f o r m a l c o m p l a i n t was made because n o College regulations were broken.

Coming home

by Bev Unangst anchor Reporter Admission r e q u i r e m e n t s , registration and parietal h o u r s were discussed by the S t u d e n t Congress at its meeting last T u e s d a y .

THE CONGRESS discussed and criticized t h e admission req u i r e m e n t s and c u r r i c u l u m of the College. Many Congress m e m b e r s felt that the College was remiss in lowering its s t a n d a r d s of admission to s t u d e n t s with disadvantaged e d u c a t i o n a l b a c k g r o u n d s , and then not providing extra help for t h o s e s t u d e n t s once t h e y had been a d m i t t e d .

S t r o n g s u m m e r pr ogr ams and non-credit remedial courses during the school year were suggested as possible s o l u t i o n s to the p r o b l e m .

MAYBE THAT'S what all the fuss and e x c i t e m e n t is a b o u t . . . . s o m e o n e is c o m i n g back to Hope, the place where his adult identity became established. It must be a time that calls for some sort of celebration, t h o u g h I'm not sure.

Perhaps I, and o t h e r black students, should just sit back, playing t h e role of s p e c t a t o r , and be quiet. We blacks are supposed to step to the b a c k g r o u n d when o u r usefulness is over, or so I've been t a u g h t . Still, t h e w o r d s " c o m i n g h o m e " seem to h a u n t m e .

I could not share in the general enthusiasm of the lily white crowd. It's hard f o r black s t u d e n t s in general to feel this enthusiasm, this school spirit, for he k n o w s that his h o m e c o m i n g will not be a

celebration of joy. It will be a c o n t i n u a t i o n of the struggle he began in e l e m e n t a r y school. It is a struggle that c o n t i n u e s because he must m a k e a place for the people whose spirits have enabled him t o succeed. The black s t u d e n t has a t r e m e n d o u s responsibility t o w a r d s his p e o p l e , for he k n o w s that if he doesn't help t h e m fight oppression n o one else will.

COMING HOME WE must carry t h e intellectual ideal of blackness which was the center of o u r personal c o n f r o n t a t i o n in college. We must c o n t i n u e t o realize whatever our personal blackness might mean t o us, and see it in daily life. For us to c o m e h o m e and fade i n t o t h e b a c k g r o u n d of the bourgeois scene would be insane. It would end in self-destruction.

It will be impossible for us to settle d o w n i n t o s u b u r b a n America. O u r lives will be one continu o u s struggle t o realize o u r blackness and to feel h u m a n in a world that will c o n t i n u e to t r e a t us as animals if we allow it. When we c o m e h o m e we must be p r e p a r e d to merge i n t o our c o m m u n i t i e s and begin whatever work is necessary.

A N D HOME TO THE black s t u d e n t is not an easy battlefield.

His people are, in m a n y cities, besieged by hostile outsiders. O n e c a n n o t escape this reality. The black m a n ' s reality is hitting him in the face, r a m m i n g t h e stench of poverty and disease d o w n his t h r o a t with such force t h a t he forgets that it is possible to have unpolluted environments.

THE CONGRESS reviewed proposals b e f o r e the C u r r i c u l u m Committee which would list courses in the h a n d b o o k but not necessarily o f f e r t h e m d u r i n g the school year. " I n some cases," c o m m e n t e d J i m Rubins, " c o u r s e s have not been o f f e r e d f o r two years, y e t are still being listed in the manual. T h e d e p a r t m e n t s should list only courses which will definitely be o f f e r e d , and not those which t h e y are o n l y considering."

IN THEIR REGULAR fall meeting, the trustees discussed the trend towards increased operating expenses and the slowdown in student enrollment increases. The Board decided to study further possible methods of augmenting income. Among the methods under study will be an increase in tuition charges.

The trustees proposed a conference to discuss the College and its relation to the church. The conference, to be held in early 1970, will attempt to promote better understanding and closer churchCollege ties.

THE QUESTION of use of the Gold property and estate was brought before the Board by College Treasurer and Business Mana-

IRC to present banquet and discussion tonight A banquet and "General Ass e m b l y " in recognition of United Nations Day are to be presented in Phelps dining hall by the International Relations Club tonight.

The meal, beginning at 6 : 1 5 p.m. in the conference room, is open to professors and club members only. Following the dinner, f r o m 7 : 3 0 to 9, a public miniature General Assembly will be held.

The key problem discussed is to be the Middle East Crisis. Dr. John Hollenbach, Jack Holmes and Robert Elder of the faculty.

as well as students from 13 countries will join together in a panel.

The U.N. Day program is planned not only to demonstrate General Assembly procedure, but also to give students insight into the mid-Eastern situation.

High spots in the evening will be the punch, the lottery for doorprizes (one for each of the three sexes-masculine, feminine and neuter), the chance to learn some authentic German drinking, songs, and the opportunity to participate in a little dancing.

There will be a live band and plenty of hotdogs and mustard... buns will also be included. (Perhaps the Oktoberfest explains why in Germany at the present time, it is the Lederhosen manufacturer's slack season.

Now's the time to catch-up on your cultural deprivation by attending this most germane celebration. All interested students are certainly welcome and the general public is invited.

ger Clarence Handlogten. The matter was referred to committees for further study.

The Board also heard Dr. William DeMeester, Assistant to the President for Planning and Development, who presented a progress report on the proposed science building. About $1 million still needs to be raised before construction can begin on the new building. The deadline on the $2 million federal loan and a $1 million federal grant has been extended to March 1, 1^70.

The law and marijuana Last week the Holland City police arrested t w o students on charges of possession of marijuana. A t h i r d student was arrested this week on charges of frequenting a house where illegal activity was being conducted.

This most recent action has several precedents. Last year three students were

ancFjor editorial arrested on similar charges. Other students were charged w i t h possession of marijuana at the end of the school year.

In the past, the College has taken action only against those students who participated in allegedly illegal activities on campus property or in violation of the College regulations. This is the proper course of action for the College, for it eliminates the charge of "double jeopardy" for those students who do not violate the College code, and it also makes effective the rules which apply to students acting in violation of the law on College property.

The arrests during the past few days point up a more involved situation, however. The entire question of marijuana laws

has been raised countless times in recent years. Many states have considered modification of or abolishment of existing laws.

Scientists have researched the question of effects of marijuana for months.

There has been much research performed regarding physiological, psychological and sociological side effects of " p o t . " But there has been no conclusive evidence to support any one view of the drug. In fact, the evidence seems completely contradictory. While one study may show that marijuana has no long term effects, for example, another study points out dangers for long-time users.

Certainly, the punishments possible under the law for violation of marijuana laws are exaggerated. In some states, persons convicted under these laws can be imprisoned for 50 years of more. A re-evaluation of these laws is long overdue.

But regardless of recent research results, the use, possession and sale of marijuana is still in violation of state laws. It is also a College offense if used on College-owned property. Until conclusive evidence can be presented on which to base a change in these laws, we urge each member of the Hope C o m m u n i t y to carefully consider the risks he is taking when he knowingly violates the marijuana laws.

Getting out of 'Nam'

by Art Buchwald

For the past several years the steadily increasing tuition fees charged by Hope College have been a source for complaints by the stutudent body against the Administration. In the last three years alone, the tuition charged at Hope has increased $500, and the Board of Trustees is again considering raising the t u i t i o n t o meet the increased cost of running an educational institution such as Hope College.

In the past the anchor has viewed these increases as necessary for the type of education Hope College offers. As such we have supported the tuition hikes though we, too, consider them burdensome both to students and their parents.

Hope College remained near the b o t t o m of the t u i t i o n list of Great Lake College

Association schools even w i t h its $ 2 0 0 increase last year. If the t u i t i o n were to be increased another $ 2 0 0 , for example, Hope would still be very low on the tuition list for G L C A schools, simply because these schools also are feeling the financial pinch.

We point out these facts only to show the Hope student that Hope College is not an expensive institution to attend when compared to similar schools, and that similar schools are also increasing their tuition.

Though it is unfortunate that t u i t i o n has increased over the last few years, and though we hope that the Board of Trustees will f i n d other means of meeting Hope's financial needs, if an increase in t u i t i o n does come it should be viewed as an academic and economic necessity.

Readers speak out

A brighter picture I was in chapel Tuesday morning, and I heard Bob Blanton's dynamic speech against the American system, or maybe I should say against Americans. Unfortunately, I don't have the ability t o communicate that he certainly posesses, but I feel compelled to respond to his speech no matter h o w unworthy my efforts may be in comparison. I'm sure that the strong feelings behind my words are of much more value than the words themselves.

dear editor Mr. Blanton painted a pretty bleak and ugly picture of America that morning. He didn't seem to leave out a thing that was degrading, deteriorating, disgusting or downright discouraging. Although the existence of all the evils he mentioned in America cannot be denied and should not be excused, it represents only a small portion in the picture I would paint of our country.

I would include people working for freedom from poverty and oppression where he painted only slavery. I would include people laughing because they have found happiness with others where he painted only people crying in anguish because they feel they didn't get a fair shake. My picture would have in it millions of doors waiting to be pushed open where Mr. Blanton painted locks without any keys.

Don't misunderstand me. I am fully aware of the need for advancement and improvement. But I advocate a means of continued construction to reach the end, whereas Mr. Blanton spoke of destruction.

I'm sure that we would both agree that any step forward will require individual efforts.

It will have to start from the inside and work its way out. Its roots will have to be fed with brotherly love and toleration before we can expect t o see it branch o u t and produce fruits.

L

Why, then, I ask, was Mr. Blanton's picture full of hatred? If this is all he sees in A m e r i c a - i f this is all he sees in America's people, then I truly feel sorry for him.

He's missing the best life has to offer by seeing only its worst.

Mary Joling

The protest vote What good is protest unless y o u have something to back it up with? On October 15th, students protested United States policy in Vietnam. But h o w many of those students protesting in back of Van Raalte can back up their protest with their right to vote? Very f e w , I imagine.

One reason Richard N i x o n can say he will n o t be affected by the moratorium is because a great majority of those protesting cannot vote. "But we will be able to vote in a few years," y o u counter. True, but will y o u be registered, educated and willing t o vote? I doubt it.

Most of us will just ignore voting because we feel we cannot affect the process with our one v o t e . But if we do exercise our right to vote even against our belief that it will not make any difference, we might be surprised to find out that we can affect the process.

When y o u turn 21, make the effort to register, make the effort t o obtain an absentee ballot if needed, and then vote.

But be sure that y o u vote from knowledge and not cocksure ignorance. Because if you vote f r o m ignorance y o u do as much damage as not voting at all.

Keep protesting, but make sure that when y o u turn 21, y o u make that effective. D o not just protest and then do nothing about it. Give a damn about voting and we can do something about this stupid war in Vietnam.

Sanderson Palmer

The Vietnam solution, as most people look at it now, is for the Americans to get out "with honor." H o w this can be accomplished is President Nixon's major problem and o n e that he is devoting his days and nights to.

PROF. HEINRICH Applebaum, dean of the political science department at the University of Dissent, has been studying various withdrawal plans that could be implemented as soon as the President decides to move.

"The secret of getting out of Vietnam can be found in h o w we got in," Prof.

Applebaum told me. "We just cannot leave South Vietnam after all these years without some explanation. We had a cover story when we went in, and we must have a cover story when we go out."

"What kind of a cover story, Professor?"

"WE MUST PLAN a Gulf of Tonkin Resolution in reverse."

"How's that?"

"If you recall, the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution passed by the Senate gave Johnson carte blanche to escalate American participation in the war. It was after the Gulf of Tonkin that the President decided to bomb the North and send in hundreds of thousands of GIs. What happened at the Gulf of Tonkin was that two American destroyers reported they were attacked by North Vietnamese PT boats at night. This got the President furious and he decided that if the North Vietnamese were going to attack him in the Gulf of Tonkin, he damn well was going to attack them anywhere he pleased.

"THERE IS STILL some question," Applebaum said, "whether the two destroyers actually saw any PT boats, but that's not the point.

The President got Senate approval to do anything he wanted to, and he did.

N o w President N i x o n is faced with the job of undoing most of what President Johnson did."

"What do y o u suggest, Professor?"

"We should rig it so that four or five PT boats attack t w o American destroyers in San Francisco Bay. Then President Nixon could go on the air and announce that our American ships were fired upon at night and he was asking the Senate for a 'Bay of San Francisco Resolution.'"

"WHAT WOULD be in the resolution?"

"The resolution would state that since t w o American destroyers had been openly and defiantly attacked, the President was calling all the troops in Vietnam t o California, where they would be stationed until the Californians could defend themselves.

He would say that he was reluctant to bring back so many troops, but that the people who fired upon the two destroyer^ must be made to pay for their aggression." " D o you think the Senate would pass a 'Bay of San Francisco Resolution'?"

"THEY WOULD if we produced the proof that the destroyers had been attacked. After all, the United States has a c o m m i t m e n t to California. It was first made by Eisenhower, then confirmed by John F. Kennedy and then Lyndon B. Johnson. President N i x o n could not go d o w n in history as the first President to lose a state."

"So after the resolution was passed by the Senate, President N i x o n could start pulling our troops in Vietnam out?"

Morally the President would have no choice. No matter what y o u think of Gov. Reagan's regime, y o u couldn't let California go down the drain."

"HOW M A N Y troops do y o u think President N i x o n could withdraw from Vietnam and send to California under the 'Bay of San Francisco Resolution'?"

"There should be a limit. I don't think more than 5 0 0 , 0 0 0 . " "But there are only 5 0 0 , 0 0 0 American troops in S o u t h V i e t n a m . " T h e professor l o o k e d and me and smiled. "Quite," he said.

Home, home on the range . . , without tears Editor's Note: This week's am:/7or review is written by anchor critiques editor Robert K i e f t . He reviews Cowboys Don't Cry by L.J. Davis (New York, V i k i n g Press, $5.75).

by Robert Kieft " F a s t e r t h a n a speeding bullet, more p o w e r f u l t h a n a m i g h t y locomotive, able t o leap tall buildings in a single b o u n d . L o o k ! U p in the sky!

" BUT O N E D A Y , S u p e r m a n gets his hand shot o f f , h e himself having pulled t h e trigger. L a t e r that a f t e r n o o n , disguised as mildmannered K e n t , he gets c r u s h e d by a locomotive, there being n o magical t e l e p h o n e b o o t h s in t h e immediate n e i g h b o r h o o d .

On t h e day following, in t h e bright sunlight of n o o n b e f o r e a fascinated crowd of o n l o o k e r s agape with the w o n d e r of it all, poor S u p e r m a n , while leaping t h e Empire State Building in a single bound, impales his groin on t h e television relay at the t o p .

A TRAGEDY? A comedy? Do we laugh or cry or b o t h ? P o o r S u p e r m a n , p o o r Kent; a n d he was such a nice fellow, t o o . Strange thing, this K r y p t o n i t e called life.

Clark Kent, the i m p r o b a b l e hero ( b u t t ? ) of L.J. Davis' Covv^ boys Don't Cry awakes d r u n k on a sleek blue j e t b o u n d for N e w York. His fellow passengers are

o f f e n d e d by his behavior, so he is escorted to and locked i n t o the m e n ' s h e a d , where he is, a few m o m e n t s later, c o n f r o n t e d by a Bible-belt p r e a c h e r who lectures him on t h e evils of drink MILD-MANNERED, 28-yearold-assistant-in-the-physics-departm e n t K e n t d e p l a n e s in New Y o r k , gets i n t o a t a x i driven by a f o r m e r governor of W y o m i n g w h o passes out p a m p h l e t s on t h e "Perils of D r i n k , " and goes t o his sister's a p a r t m e n t w h e r e is is roled penniless by that c h a r m i n g y o u n g lady and her n a r c o b o y f r i e n d . So he is on his w a y - C l a r k Kent ( n e Kantavski) a tiny, frail, so very vulnerable little ball in the absurd pinball m a c h i n e of life.

Clark K e n t ' s life is a j o k e ; f r o m t h e m o m e n t his m o t h e r , who claims t o possess a genuinely rem a r k a b l e wit, n a m e s him Clark K e n t , his e x i s t e n c e is a gigantic put o n , an absurd n i g h t m a r e of ridiculous free-associations. Clark is t h e p l a y t h i n g of c h a n c e and circumstance.

HE IS THE TYPE w h o is alw a y s in t h e w r o n g place meeting the w r o n g people at t h e wrong t i m e ; t h e m i n u t e he gets reasonably close to even t h e smallest goal he has set, the insidious c o n s p i r a c y t h a t r u n s t h e pinball m a c h i n e tilts t h e a p p a r a t u s up on end and sends him flying back t o t h e silly little hell of f r u s t r a t i o n o u t of w h i c h he had j u s t begun t o come.

A n d he simply has t o a d j u s t he c a n n o t fight b a c k - t o t h e capricious m a c h i n a t i o n s of coincid e n c e . T h e r e is n o o r d e r f o r him t o appeal t o , n o god f o r him t o wail at, n o s h o u l d e r t o cry one, and n o one t o wipe away the tears. I n d e e d , t h e r e a r e n ' t even any tears to be cried ; t h e r e is only

v

d u m b acquiescence t o the whim of f a t e . Says t h e n a r r a t o r of K e n t : "HE WAS G R A D U A L L Y losing his faith in t h e i m m u t a b i l i t y of events; n o t only did a n y t h i n g , however i m p l a u s a b l e , seem probable and causes n o longer result in p r e d i c t a b l e effects, but even when events hit him over t h e head, he felt curiously u n t o u c h e d , as t h o u g h his true s u b s t a n c e were elsewhere and he was inhabiting this bizarre envelope of flesh f o r y e t ' a little w h i l e . " As t h e old saying goes. Cowhoys Don't Cry is a novel of o u r peculiar t i m e . It is a novel a b o u t d e s t r u c t i o n in w h i c h , curiously, the d e s t r u c t i o n is meaningless, where men are a w a r e of their

defeat, but s o m e h o w ignore or are insensitive t o it.

IT IS A NOVEL of the brutal absurdity of life and t h e i n h u m a n dehumanizing non-sequitur of events. T h e reasonless world of Clark K e n t , which he totally accepts w i t h o u t t h o u g h t of rebellion, is t h e d e a t h of h o p e and t h e f r u s t r a t i o n of expectation, a world in which a man is beaten t o a bloody p u l p but never let die.

In this, his first novel, L.J. Davis has w r i t t e n a t r e m e n d o u s l y f u n n y b o o k . T h e pages are filled with insane incongruities and hilarious situations. T h e opening chapter, which finds Kent a b o a r d the plane, has got to be one of t h e great side-splitters in recent fiction. And d r a w n with a quick eye for detail and gift f o r language, L.J. Davis' characters, whose comicality is m a t c h e d only by their gruesomeness, are minor masterpieces of the absurd.

BUT, TOO, FROM beneath the comic surface, t h e r e emerges a bitterness and desolation that gradually envelopes t h e novel. Pinball Kent sustains b u f f e t a f t e r b u f f e t in the m e c h a n i s m of his absurd destiny, a f t e r each setback coming around again for w h a t inevitably turns out to be m o r e of the same.

He is given no q u a r t e r , no reason to h o p e , no o p p o r t u n i t y to advance f a r t h e r t h a n three miles behind the starting line. And all he k n o w s is t h a t " C o w b o y s d o n ' t cry. T h e brave w i n . "

" C o w b o y s d o n ' t cry, and a f t e r years of c o n d i t i o n i n g neither did K e n t . " And so his life proceeds through round a f t e r round of the senselessly stupid in a world in which the things t h a t h a p p e n have no right t o h a p p e n all to one man.

The pot-holed road of his existence takes him, near t h e end of the novel, to a n o t h e r d r u n k ; and we still want to laugh at him because he is such a classic case, but we can't because life has left him little m o r e t h a n a mangled, pathetic l u m p of bleeding flesh t o call his o w n .

STRIPPED OF everything except his gift f o r receiving pain, Kent walks away f r o m it all at the end of t h e novel, alone, yet holding his head as high as he can, going immediately not to the h o m e of his dreams and hopes but stopping in the middle distance to investigate the possibilities t h e r e h o m e may not even be possible anymore.

Kent the lamb, the sacrificial S u p e r m a n u n d e r the knife of his absurd destiny, flies off t o who k n o w s what speeding bullets, what new locomotives and tall buildings. And we d o n ' t even hear so m u c h as a w h i m p e r f o r what has gone b e f o r e or for what might have been. For c o w b o y s and supermen and mild-mannered pinball Kents m a y n ' t cry; they can only, eventually, die. And that can't h a p p e n until a lot of life has been lived and s u f f e r e d .

F o u r h o u r s later, he was f o u n d p i n n e d u n d e r his over-turned car, head sheared f r o m his b o d y , by some cruising policemen.

A HASTY CONFERENCE was called in which it was decided with s o m e reservations that this news s h o u l d be k e p t f r o m the public. Realizing, however, t h a t Paul's d e a t h could n o t be kept secret forever, J o h n L e n n o n and the Beatles' manager George Martin, decided that a s u b s t i t u t e " P a u l " w o u l d be f o u n d , and by m e a n s of plastic surgery and voice lessons, he would be m a d e so nearly identical to the dead McC a r t n e y t h a t n o o n e would find o u t a b o u t the s u b s t i t u t i o n .

It was also d e t e r m i n e d t h a t this information would be slowly leaked t o the general public by m e a n s of clever h i n t s d r o p p e d within songs and a l b u m covers.

T h u s we n o w k n o w a b o u t Paul's demise by r e f e r e n c e t o songs about Walruses (Greek for Corpse), and w o r d s " P a u l ' s d e a d " which can be h e a r d if "I am the Walrus" is played b a c k w a r d s at a low speed, and by a l b u m covers f e a t u r i n g grave scenes and corpses and a picture of Paul's a r m on

which is lettered O P D (officially p r o n o u n c e d dead).

IT IS A WONDERFULLY h e a r t e n i n g thing t o learn t h a t good h o a x e s are still being perpetrated.

A f t e r Orson Welles' magnificent War of the Worlds masterpiece, I would certainly guess that this newest j o k e might inspire such panic and fear t h a t it, t o o , might rank as one of the greatest. Still, it's t o o bad that we are so callous a n d c o n d i t i o n e d that we d o not n o t i c e the lesser hoaxes played on us every day.

Some of these are so good that it seems a s h a m e not to point t h e m up.

C o n t r a r y to p o p u l a r belief, for e x a m p l e , o u r professors are not the stodgy old fogies we o f t e n see t h e m as; indeed m a n y of t h e m successfully pull off daily hoaxes.

Old f a d e d and r u m p l e d n o t e s dating back to the late 5 0 ' s and early 6 0 ' s are still being used by these men as the basis for theii classroom p r e s e n t a t i o n s and most successfully fool typical unalert s t u d e n t s i n t o believing that these n o t e s are as up-to-date and exciting as possible. I n d e e d , one such person has actually passed off the mere r e c o p y i n g of his ancient notes by a secretary as a " t h o r o u g h - g o i n g r e v a m p i n g " of the course.

NOT ONLY ARE the professors maligned as serious old scholars, but by in large, the Administ r a t i o n is i s o t h o u g h t of as p r e t t y s t u f f y and straight-forward. N o t so! O u r Administration is one of the greatest b u n c h of j o k e r s

a r o u n d . In f a c t , nearly every enc o u n t e r I have had or heard a b o u t has b o r n e out t h e jocular nature of Van Raalte hall.

A great e x a m p l e of this h u m o r can be experienced by a n y o n e trying t o bring a complaint to s o m e o n e he considers to be the a p p r o p r i a t e man. Like fools, most of us actually believe that on any specific issue, one man in o u r administration is responsible.

Again a h o a x ! And I would guess that the main reason it has not been e x p o s e d before is that most of its victims die of fatigue a f t e r running f r o m office to o f f i c e f o r h o u r s on end.

STILL, IN MY view the greatest hoax of all is not any of these, or even t h e " f o o t b a l l t e a m " . F o r years n o w we have been laboring u n d e r the illusion that there would eventually be a s t u d e n t center, fools that we are. This idea is totally false. There is never going to be a s t u d e n t center. It has all been a cleverly instigated hoax on the part of t h e Administration and various o t h e r " f r i e n d s of the College" to ease pressure and create t h e illusion that t h e College is actually r u n f o r t h e students, and t h a t s t u d e n t wishes play a part in t h e f o r m a t i o n of College goals and policy.

Such are a few of t h e daily hoaxes played on the s t u d e n t b o d y . I'm sure t h a t t h e r e are countless o t h e r s , equally h u m o r ous, t h a t y o u can expose a n d laugh at. At least, m a y b e you can laugh at t h e m in a p a t h e t i c sort of way.

Booters' weak offense hurts Dutch in losses

by Bill Hoffman anchor Reporter

Debrecini s u f f e r e d more s h o t s on goal t h a n did the o p p o s i t i o n ' s goalie.

T h e breaks were not with H o p e ' s soccer t e a m this past week as t h e D u t c h lost t w o well-played games. T h e y d r o p p e d their H o m e c o m i n g c o n t e s t with W h e a t o n , 2-0, and Wednesday t h e D u t c h fell victim to Calvin in d o u b l e overt i m e , 2-1.

In S a t u r d a y ' s c o n t e s t , H o p e blanked a strong W h e a t o n t e a m t h r o u g h the first half. Early in t h e third quarter Paul Avila, a p o t e n tial AU-American, b o o t e d a penalty kick past J o h n Debrecini f o r the first score. Later in t h e third quarter, Wheaton added another goal. W h e a t o n had m o r e t h a n twice as m a n y s h o t s on goal as the Dutchmen.

HAND O F F - Q u a r t e r b a c k Groy Kaper hands off to halfback Bob Haveman during Hope's 24-22 Homecoming win over Olivet College. Haveman was Hope's leading rusher with a total of 104 yards in 30 attempts.

First win of season

Dutchmen edge Comets, 24-22

by Pete Struck anchor Reporter Hope College won its first f o o t ball game of the season last Saturday as the D u t c h m e n celebrated H o m e c o m i n g by e d g m g the Olivet C o m e t s , 24-22, in a Michigan Intercollegiate A t h l e t i c Association c o n t e s t b e f o r e more t h a n 3,000 delighted Riverview Park fans.

THE VICTORY lifted the Dutch out of the MIAA cellar and gave t h e m a 1-4-1 season record.

Olivet slipped t o 1-5.

Chances are the C o m e t defense will be taking a few lessons on halfback o p t i o n plays this week.

That play was chiefly responsible for the H o p e victory.

It was a 64-yard scoring pass f r o m h a l f b a c k Harry R u m o h r to flanker Rich Frank early in the f o u r t h q u a r t e r that kept the C o m e t s out of striking distance.

R u m o h r e x e c u t e d t h e play successfully t h r e e t i m e s in the game.

QUARTERBACK GROY Kaper e n t e r e d the contest as the leading passer in the MIAA, but he was limited t o just four completions in 17 tries for 41 yards.

Ironically, the man who passed Kaper as the league's leading passer was C o m e t q u a r t e r b a c k Eric Witzke, w h o d i d n ' t seem to be b o t h e r e d by the strong winds as he c o m p l e t e d 13 of 25 aerials for 121 yards.

S o p h o m o r e k i c k e r Mike Hinga provided H o p e with its eventual winning p o i n t s in the first t w o

Flying Dutchmen to meet Albion in football Sat. As of t o d a y there is only one u n d e f e a t e d college f o o t b a l l t e a m in all of Michigan. That team is the Albion College Britons, the team which t h e Hope College Flying D u t c h m e n will face t o m o r row at Albion.

Albion achieved its s t a t u s last Saturday when t h e y upset the Alma Scots, 7-3, in Alma's h o m e coming game. T h e victory moved Albion's r e c o r d to 5-0, while the Scots are n o w even at 3-3.

All of the scoring in that game was d o n e in t h e f o u r t h q u a r t e r .

Alma t o o k a 3-0 lead on a J o h n F u z a k field goal, but the Britons came right back with the winning score when h a l f b a c k Jim Bell plunged o n e y a r d for a t o u c h down.

The loss also k n o c k e d Alma out of first place in the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association i n t o a tie with K a l a m a z o o f o r second place. Albion n o w resides alone in first with a 2-0 record.

T o m o r r o w t h e H o p e College Flying D u t c h m e n will challenge t h e Britons. It is d o u b t f u l t h e D u t c h will be able to pick u p their second win of t h e season b e f o r e n e x t week w h e n t h e y play t h e last place A d r i a n Bulldogs.

m i n u t e s of the contest by b o o t i n g a school record 40-yard field goal a f t e r Keith V a n T u b e r g e n recovered a C o m e t f u m b l e .

H O P E WENT A H E A D 11-0 when R u m o h r charged 26 yards for a t o u c h d o w n to climax an 86-yard drive. Kaper hit F r a n k in the end z o n e with a t w o point conversion pass.

Linebacker Bill Ash put Olivet on the scoreboard midway through the second p e r i o d when he picked off a stray Kaper pass and ran 54-yards for the score.

Witzke e x e c u t e d a perfect e x t r a point f a k e and picked up the t w o point conversion on a pass to end Kurt C h u b n e r .

Hope t o o k Olivet's k i c k o f f on their own 20 and with the help of t w o 15-yard penalties and a pass i n t e r f e r e n c e call in the end z o n e , marched 8 0 y a r d s to m a k e the score 17-8 at h a l f t i m e .

O L I V E T T R I M M E D t h e margin t o 17-15 when f u l l b a c k Gary C u m m i n g s raced a r o u n d right end 16 yards. The play e n d e d a 69yard drive. Hal H o o k s ' extra point a t t e m p t was g o o d .

R u m o h r ' s t o u c h d o w n toss to Frank c a m e a f t e r F r e s h m a n Dave J o h n s o n i n t e r c e p t e d a Witzke pass. Hinga's kick was good, and the D u t c h m e n held a 24-15 lead with 11 m i n u t e s r e m a i n i n g .

Olivet scored in t h e closing m i n u t e s a f t e r blocking a Hinga field goal a t t e m p t . T h e score c a m e on a f o u r t h d o w n play as Witzke plunged over f r o m t h e o n e .

WITH 2 : 5 2 R E M A I N I N G , the C o m e t s tried an on-side kick, but Hope freshman Dana Snoap covered t h e ball on the D u t c h 47-yard line, and Kaper k e p t the ball on the ground to r u n out the clock.

H o p e e n d e d the game with a total o f f e n s e of 341 y a r d s to 201 yards by t h e C o m e t s . Fullback Bob H a v e m a n led the D u t c h running a t t a c k with 104 y a r d s in 30 carries.

C u m m i n g s gained 118 y a r d s in 32 carries f o r Olivet, but losses by his t e a m m a t e s l e f t t h e C o m e t s with only 80 net y a r d s on the ground.

P E N A L T I E S A L S O h u r t the C o m e t s as t h e y had 86 y a r d s walked off against t h e m c o m p a r e d to only 4 0 y a r d s against the Dutchmen.

Hope and Olivet are n o w tied in t h e MIAA standings with identical 1-2 records.

T h i s lack of a p o t e n t o f f e n s e has been t h e main p r o b l e m all season for t h e D u t c h . It is mainly H o p e ' s s t r o n g d e f e n s e t h a t has k e p t the scores f r o m getting t o o one-sided. T h i s was again a p p a r e n t in Wednesday's c o n t e s t with Calvin.

There was no scoring until early in t h e f o u r t h q u a r t e r w h e n Calvin scored t h e go-ahead goal on a direct k i c k . H o p e rallied a b o u t h a l f w a y t h r o u g h t h e final q u a r t e r as Jim Hoekstra evened t h e score.

T h e game c o n t i n u e d scoreless t h r o u g h t h e first five m i n u t e overt i m e . T h e n with just 3 0 s e c o n d s left in the second o v e r t i m e , Joe Weaver scored t h e w i n n i n g goal for the Calvin Knights. Again

T o m o r r o w Hope will try to impr ove its 2-6 overall record as the D u t c h t a k e on Kalamazoo in non-league competition.

Hope closes its season Oct. 31 at Lake F o r e s t , Illinois.

Distance runners lose a squeaker to Olivet, 28-27 T h e H o p e College cross country t e a m was n a r r o w l y d e f e a t e d in last S a t u r d a y ' s dual meet with Olivet, 2 8 - 2 7 .

This loss leaves the Dutch with a 1-3 league record and makes it impossible f o r the harriers to break even f o r the season.

Mike C r o n a n of Olivet broke the t a p e with a t i m e of 2 1 : 2 0 .

J o h n Martin, also of Olivet, finished s e c o n d . Bruce G e e l h o e d , cont i n u i n g his improved running, finished first for t h e D u t c h and third in t h e meet.

Gene Haulenbeek finished f o u r t h a full 12 seconds behind G e e l h o e d . Brian C l a x t o n , Bob Scott and Jim Mattison r o u n d e d o u t H o p e ' s t o p five with sixth, seventh and eighth place finishes respectively.

T o m o r r o w the harriers will travel to Albion to run a strong Briton cross c o u n t r y t e a m . A f t e r t o m o r r o w ' s meet t h e D u t c h have just one m o r e dual m e e t .

by Bob Vanderberg For the e n t e r t a i n m e n t of t h e readers of our sports page, I have provided this week a series of puzzling q u e s t i o n s , most of t h e m having t o do with Hope College football.

SOME O F T H E S E q u e s t i o n s u n d o u b t e d l y will b a f f l e even the greatest m i n d s o n c a m p u s . All are designed t o m a k e H o p e s p o r t s f a n s the deepest t h i n k i n g athletic s u p p o r t e r s in t h e league.

I n c i d e n t a l l y , this could b e c o m e a regular f e a t u r e of this c o l u m n . It all d e p e n d s o n what k i n d of response I get t o these q u e s t i o n s .

Exciting prizes will be a w a r d e d f o r the best answers. Prizes include an all-expenses-paid trip t o Skiles t o w a t c h J o h n n y Carson and an a u t h e n t i c tape-recording of a Rick L o n d o n f o o t b a l l b r o a d c a s t .

SOME L U C K Y winner will cop the grand p r i z e - a three-day cruise a b o a r d Infinity Hope to the s o u t h e r n e n d of Lake Michigan to see oil slicks, dead alewives and billowy c l o u d s of p o l l u t i o n .

But let's get on with the questions.

1) My first q u e s t i o n , a twopart q u e r y , deals with H o p e defensive back Carleton G o l d e r .

People who k n o w w h a t ' s going on in H o p e College sports tell me t h a t C ar leton is p r o b a b l y t h e fastest man o n c a m p u s . To me, t h a t indicates that there is a good

"HAPPY HOUR" at the

chance t h a t he could be the fastest m a n on H o p e ' s f o o t b a l l t e a m . What I want to k n o w is: (a) Why isn't C a r l e t o n used as a deep m a n on kick-off and p u n t r e t u r n s ? and (b) w h y hasn't he been used m o r e in t h e offensive backfield?

Personally, I t h o u g h t he l o o k e d p r e t t y g o o d in the Olivet game Saturday.

2) QUESTION TWO deals with the subject of kick-off ret u r n s . If y o u go to H o p e f o o t b a l l games, y o u ' l l n o t i c e t h a t the Hope m a n who c a t c h e s the ball on the kick-off i m m e d i a t e l y h e a d s f o r the middle of the field and usually gets piled u p at a b o u t the 25-yard line.

Statistics show that the longest kick-off r e t u r n by a H o p e player this fall was a 27-yarder by Rich F r a n k . S e c o n d on the list was a 22-yard r e t u r n by Harry R u m o h r .

My q u e s t i o n is this: Why n o t , as a "change of p a c e , " use s o m e kind of a " c h u t e " - t y p e r e t u r n play and have the d e e p man r e t u r n t h e ball d o w n the sideline?

3) T H I S Q U E S T I O N is directed mainly t o w a r d s p s y c h o l o g y

m a j o r s and o t h e r e x p e r t s on crowd behavior. Why is it that fans at Hope f o o t b a l l games do not stand u p for kick-offs? This one has been b o t h e r i n g me f o r a long, long time and I h a v e n ' t yet been able t o c o m e u p with a r e a s o n a b l e answer.

4) The f o u r t h and final question is s i m p l y - W h a t ' s w r o n g with my Bears?

Send y o u r answers to: R o o m 206, E m m i e House.

A FINAL W O R D Hope's offense performed fairly well last week in the victory over Olivet. Bob Haveman, a fine r u n n i n g b a c k , t u r n e d in a n o t h e r good game, breaking t h r o u g h for s o m e long gainers. R u m o h r and G o l d e r also had some nice runs.

R u m o h r t e a m e d u p with Frank on some key h a l f b a c k passes, o n e of which w e n t for six points. The d e f e n s e played a fair game with T o m T h o m a s and Dave J o h n s o n c o m i n g u p with big i n t e r c e p t i o n s .

Can the D u t c h m e n keep the momentum going and upset league-leading Albion t o m o r r o w ?

With a f e w breaks a n d a lot of d e t e r m i n a t i o n , it can be d o n e .
