Women students form lib discussion group

by Marcy Darin "We're not setting out to burn our bras, we're working on the person inside," explained Joan Donaldson, co-chairwoman of MIR, a women's awareness organization on campus.

ALTHOUGH the Equal Rights Amendment still smolders in legislative purgatory in some states, the Extra-Curricular Affairs Committee last Friday gave the initial nod to the student-founded women's awareness group.

According to a statement prepared by the organization's cofounders Terry Robinson and Joan Donaldson, the group's purpose is " t o foster an environment of individual and social awareness, to explore women's creative potential for the h o m e , work, and academic world," and " t o offer mutual support and understanding among women through interaction and sharing of experience and knowledge."

MIR WAS THE name chosen by its founders for the discussionoriented group. Donaldson, who first suggested the name, explained that MIR is the Russian word for peace, world, and commune and hoped the group would create "an atmosphere of community for the people involved."

She emphasized that MIR would be loosely structured and is tentatively scheduling regular monthly meetings supplemented by special discussion groups.

"There won't be any list of members or dues; if you're interested in the topic you can c o m e , " Donaldson said.

UNLIKE THE radical tactics of certain liberation groups like

SCUM (Society for Cutting Up Men), Donaldson explained that MIR "will encourage an internal kind of liberation. There are many women who stereotype themselves in one r o l e - t h e housewife.

They don't realize that they can go out and climb rocks and play football. That's the kind of thing that upsets m e . " MIR was first inspired by a w o m e n ' s awareness retreat conducted last March at the home of a female faculty member. Both Donaldson and Robinson were among the 20 faculty women and students who attended the discussions centering on women's roles and the various pressures which women encounter from their homes and families.

ROBINSON had high praise for the conference and stated, "I became aware of different lifestyle options and recognized that I myself could be a creative force."

In pointing out that one-half of those who attended the retreat were faculty or wives of faculty, Robinson emphasized the benefits of discussions involving mixed age groups. "I had the chance to talk with women in their 20's and 30 s who had already set out for their goal in life," she said.

OPEN TO faculty members as well as students, Donaldson believes that one of the group's strong points is that its members "can benefit f r o m older women who have experienced more in their lives."

She added that several of Hope's 19 full-time female faculty members have expressed interest in the group, as well as some faculty wives. continued on page 3, column 4

In announcing the name of the building last fall President G o r d o n Van Wylen said, 4< The Peales have made very definite and distinguished contributions to the church and to the nation, and their ministry has touched many individual lives with the Christian message.

"FURTHER, NAMING this building after two persons whose distinguishing activities have' related t o religion is also a reflection of our commitment at Hope that faith and science are indeed compatible," he stated.

A highlight of the dedication ceremony will be the awarding of an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree to Stanley S. Kresge, chairman of the board of the Kresge Foundation. A $500,000 challenge grant from the Kresge F o u n d a t i o n spearheaded the campaign to raise funds to build the Peale Science Center.

NEW ANCHOR EDITOR PAUL TIMMER

Give us our blackness

Coalition chairman cites needs of blacks at Hope

by Tom O'Brien

<*

BLACK COALITION CHAIRMAN ED SANDERS

"What a lot of whites d o n ' t realize is that every weekend on Hope's campus is white experience weekend," said Chairman of the Black Coalition Ed Sanders, in an interview last Tuesday.

SANDERS continued that the Black Coalition is now trying to organize a Black Experience weekend (scheduled for Nov. 16 and 17) and is having trouble getting enough money for a band from the S t u d e n t Activities C o m m i t t e e .

"SAC members offered excuses such as if we give to the Coalition, we'll have to give to the Chicanos, the Arabs, etc." Sanders went on to say that all the Coalition needed was an additional $125.

Sanders stated, "We are here like everybody else, for an education, and like everybody else we desire some recreation when we're through studying. But recreation here is very much whiteoriented."

HE CONTINUED that Hope is an unlikely place for black

students to go because of the admissions policies. "First of all," he said, "it seems there is an unspoken rule for the weeding out of any rowdy blacks for possible admissions. Also there are no black recruiters. The admissions department could be more effective in recruiting blacks if the pitch for Hope were more blackoriented," Sanders added.

Sanders suggested that admission recruiters undergo a training course that would acquaint them with the desires of potential black students. The admissions department could find out f r o m the Coalition what kind of questions blacks will ask, and what they will expect f r o m this office. Sanders asserted that admissions could be making a much greater e f f o r t in the field of black recruiting. " A S FAR as bringing in black professors, my first reaction is one of hesitation because of the great a m o u n t of pressure that would be placed on h i m , " commented Sanders.

"The white professor can be average and still maintain his position, but the black man must be outstanding," exclaimed Sanders.

He cited the firing of John Jackson as a case in point.

BUT HOPE, its students and faculty, really need exposure to black professors to get an adequate understanding of the-black experience, according to Sanders.

He cited the fact that white students are never exposed to a black teacher-student relationship.

"A lot of blacks have taken living at Hope in a negative way, but I personally have learned a lot about white America,' Sanders added. " S o m e expect us to he white in such an environment but we demand our blackness."

The purpose of the Black Experience weekend is not only for black expression and entertainment, but it is also for the rest of the campus as a learning experience and for their e n j o y m e n t .

Maybe the way to change the world is to join a large corporation.

Nixon and the tapes: crisis eased hut not over

by Dave DeKok Impeachment resolutions were introduced, angry speeches were made in the Senate, people held up signs in the streets saying " h o n k f o r i m p e a c h m e n t , " (with a raucous cacophony of noise resulting), a poll taken showed 44 percent of Americans favored impeachment, and Nixon delivered the tapes.

THE PRESIDENT stood eye to eye with Congress and the courts on the brink and backed down.

For f o u r days the nation^ was beset by the greatest constitutional crisis in its history, precipitated by Nixon's firing of Special Watergate Prosecutor Archibald Cox and the subsequent resignation of Attorney General Elliot Richardson and firing of Deputy Attorney General William Ruckelshaus.

Cox was fired after he refused Nixon's order to cease and desist in his efforts to obtain the tapes.

The President had offered a compromise to solve the tapes controversy which entailed having Sen. John Stennis (D-Miss.) listen to all the requested tapes and compare them with a summary of those parts of the tapes Nixon felt to be relavant.

ON OCT. 12, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia upheld Federal District Court Judge John Sirica's ruling that

Nixon turn over the tapes to him so he could decide which parts the Grand Jury directed by Cox would hear. T h e President was given five days t o appeal the decision t o the Supreme Court.

Midnight last Friday was the deadline for filing the appeal. But Nixon demurred, even though he felt he had at least a 50-50 chance of winning his case, and offered the compromise cited above.

COX F L A T L Y rejected the compromise, doubting that any court would accept the summary as evidence. A possible result of this. Time magazine stated in its Oct. 29 issue, would be that lesser Nixon aides w h o have already pleaded guilty to Watergate charges, such as John Dean and Jeb Magruder, would go to jail while such prominant figures as H.R. Haldeman and John Ehrlichman, who yet plead their innocence would go free.

Defendants could argue that since the summary could have important parts missing that might clear them but were unavailable for inspection, their cases should (and likely would) be thrown out of court. Legal scholars said the summary would be admissible as evidence only if the tapes had been destroyed.

COX SAID AT a news conference Saturday he would ask the courts to declare Nixon in contempt, Time said, or to clarify

why the compromise was unacceptable. Nixon then ordered Richardson to fire Cox. Richardson refused and sent the President his resignation.

One of Nixon's advisors. Gen. Alexander Haig called Ruckelshaus and conveyed to him the order to fire Cox. He refused.

Haig then reportedly said, " Y o u r commander-in-chief orders you to fire Mr. Cox." Ruckelshaus again refused and hung up the phone.

Though he sent in a resignation, it was not acknowledged and he learned later on T.V. he had been fired.

ROBERT BORK, the Solicitor General and third ranking member of the Justice Department, was then asked to fire Cox and agreed.

Bork was also named acting Attorney General.

In a short period of time, FBI agents sealed off the offices and papers of Cox, Richardson, and Ruckelshaus- and ejected aides and secretaries from the offices.

REACTION WAS swift and almost universally critical. Time reported Sen. Robert Packwood (R-Ore.) as saying " t h e office of the Presidency does not carry with it the licence to destroy justice in America." Sen. Edmund Muskie urged the House to begin consideration of impeachment.

Many private citizens also reacted with indignation. Congressmen's mail was running 500-1 in favor of

Student power increased

Vaughn proposes amendment State Representative Jackie Vaughn III (D-Detroit) last Friday introduced legislation to place college students on the governing boards of the schools they attend.

THE JOINT House Resolution would amend Sections 5, 6 and 7 of Article VIII of the Michigan Constitution by requiring that at least one student must sit on the governing board of every state supported college and university and every c o m m u n i t y and junior college which receives state aid.

To become effective, the resolution must receive a two-thirds vote of both the House and Senate as well as a majority vote of the people at the next general election.

VAUGHN, WHO is the author of the 18-year-old voting rights act and the young citizens Bill of Rights, and Chairman of the House Youth and Student Participation Committee, said the proposal would provide students with the "necessary tool to become functioning members of their community."

"As things stand now," Vaughn said, " s t u d e n t s are being denied the basic right to govern themselves. They have virtually no power to determine what happens

in their c o m m u n i t y , that is, the particular college or university in which they are enrolled. " I T IS illogical, irrational and undemocratic to continue to deny the basic right of government to persons who can vote, own property, serve in the Armed Forces, and otherwise be treated as adults," he continued.

Vaughn said the most important results of the proposal would be to make students more responsible citizens and to make colleges and universities more responsive to the people they are designed to serve. " T H E REAL value of having students sitting on college governing boards will be that the boards will rapidly become more responsive t o the needs and wishes of the entire campus c o m m u n i t y , while at the same time making students more responsible adults," Vaughn added. " O n c e students see that tuition increases, rules and regulations, are not being forced upon them, they are going to see that their college or university is indeed their c o m m u n i t y . " VAUGHN SAID the concept of placing students on college governing boards has the support

This year's total enrollment is 2,105, a figure which represents a decrease in 19 students f r o m last year.

Over one-half the entire student body ( 1 1 5 5 students) comes from Michigan, while students from New York total 247, New Jersey 183, and Illinois 162.

-The campus is home t o 62 foreign students from 18 different countries, including 19 f r o m Qatar and 17 Japanese students. The profile also indicated that 32 students are n o w participating in various off-campus programs.

Thirty-one percent, or 657 Hope students consider themselves members of the Reformed Church in America, while Presbyterians comprise the second largest group with 180 students.

impeachment in some cases.

A few senators supported the President's actions publicly, including Sen. Edward G u m e y , a Republican f r o m Florida and member of the Senate Watergate Committee, and Sen. John Tower (R-Texas) w h o thought Nixon had acted properly and there were no grounds f o r impeachment.

CONGRESS WAS recessed for the weekend, which did not end till Tuesday due to Veteran's Day. Several Congressmen indicated they would introduce impeachment resolutions Tuesday morning and informal polls showed at least 50 members supporting impeachment.

Tuesday morning House Speaker Carl Albert addressed the body and asked that grounds for impeachment be studied immediately by the House Judiciary Committee but added a careful re-

joinder that they be studied carefully and deliberately.

IF THE JUDICIARY Committee voted that grounds f o r impeachment existed, a m o t i o n for impeachment would be entered in the House % needing a simple majority t o pass. ( O n e minor note; impeachment means bringing the President to trial in the Senate, not removing him from office. If he is convicted by a two-thirds vote of the Senate, he is then removed from o f f i c e - a popular misconception.)

BUT THAT afternoon, what many regarded as the impossible happened. White House counsel Charles Wright appeared in the courtroom of Judge Sirica and announced to shocked spectators that Nixon would turn over nine of the ten tapes requested. They had expected him to seek a further compromise to avoid having Nixon held in contempt of court.

MIR to encourage women's awareness

continued from page 1 Male counterparts will also be welcome at the regular monthly a f t e r n o o n sessions which are scheduled to begin November 7.

THEY WILL be excluded f r o m the special discussion groups because, as Donaldson said, "Women might be inhibited if men were around for certain topics."

"Women should realize that they stereotype themselves. Women need to talk to other w o m e n , - i t ' s a conscience raising thing." Donaldson continued.

DONALDSON also sees a need for co-eds to be more independent. " S o m e t i m e s you have to go out and do it on your own. You should learn to be complete within yourself, not continuously relying on a boyfriend-type relationship."

Carol Juth Gavasso, assistant professor of library sciences, serves as advisor for the group and is also chairing a special committee for Hope faculty women.

which is an o f f s h o o t of the nationwide American Association of University Professors.

Gavasso explained that "Committee W" will explore such related issues as tenure and pay scale for faculty women. She added that although t h e committee "really hasn't gotten off the ground y e t , " its success will hinge on whether "faculty members can find time to serve on another committee."

Museum exhibits McCombs work Bruce McCombs, assistant professor of art, recently had a drawing entitled "Staircase" included in the sixth biennial Michigan painters and printmakers exhibition held at t h e Grand Rapids Art Museum.

McCombs' work was also featured in a three-man exhibition of prints and drawings at Gallery One, Findlay, Ohio.

Newkirk decries 'rip-offs'

Saga tightens up security

by Bruce Martin The Saga Food Service, feeling the ever present pinch for f u n d s , has shifted the card checkers t o the doors in order t o cut down on the freeloaders. "We figure ten meals each serving is a very conservative estimate of the rip-off.

That works out t o $1000 a m o n t h , " Saga manager Jess Newkirk explained.

THE ADDED security of straws and cardboard discs are just to insure the limit of one serving on certain meat dishes. Newkirk admitted the system can probably be beaten but says the system is under constant change and should keep improving to the point of insuring that the people who eat, pay. Any profits realized will immediately be p u m p e d into t h e tight food situation for the boarders' own benefit.

Unexpected benefits of the system are already showing up, Newkirk said. The person who doesn't want a whole tray, but only a salad or cereal, shows his card, passes the line, and just gets his essentials and sits down. Also, if the line is long, you show the card, get a straw, grab a seat and wait awhile as y o u rap with friends.

AS FOR THE f o o d situation in general, last Monday the only thing the Kraft cheese man was delivering was an explanation as to why no American cheese was available. Other facts are also discouraging. Meats have now leveled off, but about 15 to 20 percent higher than before the freeze was lifted.

"A rate hike in canned f o o d s is n o w most worrisome as new contracts to be made o n December 1 show an average of about 15 percent higher cost t o Saga," Newkirk explained. "Since school has

started we've absorbed a 14 centper-gallon rise in milk prices.

That's about a cent per glass."

THE PROCESS of absorbing higher costs should continue into second semester when it should become clear if Saga will return to the former program of steak night and unlimited seconds or if the present program will continue to keep f r o m falling into the red.

"We really t o o k the shaft when we negotiated for an eight percent rise in costs this y e a r , " Newkirk explained. "But students have

really reacted well and understood our pinch. Their cooperation has really been great and we thank them for t h a t . " As a final note, B.Y.O.B. stands for "bring your own blank e t " as Saga invades the DWCC for lunch t o m o r r o w and you may need a place to put your body besides on the floor. Plans are tentative, but the Phelps Hall has been confiscated and entertainment may be provided by WTAS for l u n c h - s o m e t h i n g like music to digest by.

TIGHT SECURITY-Plagued by rising student thievery at the dining hall in the form of eating off another's plate, Saga installed new methods of reducing theft, including use of straws, tickets and a new line location.

Four

Laws and men But the President's defenders will certainly allege we have not yet provided valid reasons why he should still be impeached. Whether or not you agree with them depends in part on how much the specter of an American dictatorship frightens you.

The framers of the Constitution never intended the President to be above the laws. After fighting a long war to throw off the rule of the English King George III, they were careful to draw up a system of government which would prevent the Executive branch of government from dominating the other two branches.

We see a picture of a President who will justify most anything if he feels national security warrants it.

His former aide John Ehrlichman the Presidnet ever really wanted an went even further, authorizing crimes independent and vigorous investiga- in the name of national security. The perils of the unchecked power are tion of the Watergate affair.

Cox has been pursuing a wide great.

If the son in the Justice Department, were President is to be allowed to detergoing far toward, restoring public mine who will be convicted of a crime and who will not, he will trust in that area of government.

How is the public to feel now possess a power common to most when they see two men fired and dictators in history.

No matter how well Cox when they push too near tothe Justice Department pursues the wards the truth or refuse to accept investigation from now on, they will Nixon's absolute authority, the labor under a thick cloud of sus- country is in real danger.

Impeachment will not be a pleapicion as well they should. For if the President acted forcibly to limit the sant process but in so doing the investigation before, what is to stop system will become clean and be able him from doing it in some subtle or to function free from lingering suspicion. We must have a President not so subtle way again?

A government which has lost the who has the complete trust of the public confidence cannot function American people, one who will not effectively, either in foreign or place himself and his aides above the domestic spheres. Any leader's clout law, standing on a pedestal of "nain foreign affairs comes from the tional security."

A President who can defy court extent other countries see the people supporting him.

Despite the fact President Nixon turned over the disputed Watergate tapes Tuesday afternoon, we still believe that impeachment is necessary. The most pressing crisis, his failure to comply with an Appeals Court order to turn over the tapes is over. But that which is most pressing at the moment may be only one small part of the larger problem.

Nixon, in firing Special Watergate Prosecutor Archibald Cox, has cast severe doubt on his credibility. The public must surely question now if

anchor review

Goldoni play successfully maintains harmony Editor's note: This week's aA7c/7or review is written by Opus Editor Carol Yeckel. She reviews The Servant of Two Masters, a play by Carlo Goldoni, which is the first offering of the 1973-74 Hope theater season.

Traditionally the Italian commedia dell'arte f o r m involves a group of actors improvising speech and m o v e m e n t on the basis of s t o c k characters and plot motifs.

C A R L O G o l d o n i ' s 1750 play The Servant of Two Masters includes a n u m b e r of t h e commedia regulars: t h e old man P a n t a l o n e and his d o c t o r f r i e n d , t h e t w o sets of lovers, the i n n k e e p e r and waiters, the m a i d s e r v a n t , and t h e h a r l e q u i n . T h e plot typically involves love promises and disguises, and revolves a r o u n d t h e antics of the harlequin servant T r u f f a l d i n o .

The commedia characters are c o m i c types. T h e individual cast m e m b e r s have c o m p e t e n t l y recre-

ated t h o s e t y p e s a n d , most i m p o r t a n t l y , built t h e m in relation t o one a n o t h e r so that they w o r k together s m o o t h l y t h r o u g h o u t t h e production.

IN T H E S E R V A N T of Two Masters, G o l d o n i m a d e a m a j o r variation on the commedia dell' arte f o r m ; he wrote t h e speeches and dialogue. In this play, t h e n , the basis of the improvisation must be s o m e t h i n g o t h e r t h a n what is said.

Aside f r o m the actual w o r d s of the lines he delivers, the a c t o r can transmit meaning to the a u d i e n c e through voice and t h r o u g h movement and gesture. In G o l d o n i ' s commedia, improvisation turns on these aspects of p e r f o r m a n c e .

IN T H E opening scene of Act II, Nancy Sigworth as Brighella and Steve Evans as T r u f f a l d i n o show what it is to build and enbellish a character t h r o u g h voice and m o v e m e n t p a t t e r n s .

This scene is u n d o u b t e d l y the most p e r f e c t in the entire play, and Sigworth and Evans m a i n t a i n this level of p e r f o r m a n c e t h r o u g h out the entire p r o d u c t i o n .

T h e c o m p a n y as a whole, h o w ever, does not take full advantage of the possibilities t h a t the characters p r e s e n t . This is especially true in regard to voice. T h e r e seems to be a great d e p e n d e n c e on the words alone to characterize t h e speaker. T h o s e figures w h o d o create a characteristic speech use it c o n t i n u o u s l y , with little variation of p i t c h , tone, or rate according to the words they are speaking.

T H E O N E e x c e p t i o n to this is in t h e scenes with T r u f f a l d i n o , whose speech is, in keeping with his c h a r a c t e r , fast-paced. In this situation m a n y of t h e characters increase their speaking pace to something near Truffaldino's, c o m p l e t e l y losing any p a t t e r n of speech that t h e y had c r e a t e d .

Perhaps t h e greatest p r o b l e m in any sort of improvisational theater is preserving t h e u n i t y of t h e

from page 4

One of the maintenance department's great accomplishments of the summer was the renovation of Mandeville cottage. A horror to visiting parents whose sons lived in it, a hazard to those who lived in it, and condemned by the City of Holland, the college had one of two choices: tear it down or fix it up. They choose the latter, some $7,000 worth of latter.

Besides changing the room arrangements around by knocking out some walls and building new ones, they also replaced the heating system, re-carpeted the floor in many areas and installed new light fixtures.

Yet we have been victims of the old "It'll do" philosophy.

They did as much as they could before we moved in (although it seemed renovation sat without progress for long periods during the summer), but once we got here, the renovation crew packed up and left, never to return. What was completed was completed, and the rest, well, "it'll do."

Let me list a few things that the alumni who return to marvel at this glorious face-lift will never see: first, five untouched lighting fixtures and wires for lighting fixtures that dangle with exposed wiring, from holes in the ceiling, second, switches that have no cover plates (a great place to stick

P E O P L E

by Bob Van Voorst One of the liveliest debates currently underway in the world of thought poses the problem that we will consider in this week's column: What exactly is "religion?" Can it be accurately defined?

AT FIRST glance, this problem might seem to be entirely academic, related only to the specialized concerns of professors and their students, and totally unrelated to the everyday activities of religion and faith. Yet, a closer look at the importance of having an accurate, satisfying definition of this term "religion" should point up the clear necessity of such a definition.

Beside the scholarly necessity for precision and accuracy in our use of the term "religion," there are practical legal concerns for a definition. The United States Supreme Court has recently wrestled with the meaning of "religion" as it has examined such issues as public aid to parochial schools, religious belief and e x e m p t i o n from the d r a f t , and o t h e r important questions on the relationship of church and state.

ism) are all commonly considered religions, and rightly so; yet c o m m o n usage has also named Confucianism a religion, although Confucianism has no i m p o r t a n t or central deity, as d o Western

THE COURTS have experienced the same frustration as many theologians and churchmen try t o give a convincing definition of this t e r m .

The need for a good explication of this crucial word, then, is both a scholarly and legal requirement. T h i s column cannot pretend t o solve such a k n o t t y problem, but it will a t t e m p t to indicate, first, why the task of defining "religion" has been so difficult; it will then examine some well-worn definitions advanced in the past.

WHY HAS this task proven so very difficult that none of the numerous definitions advanced throughout the ages have been found adequate? The difficulties lie in two factors. First, there is a necessity of making our definition broad enough so as t o include all spiritual movements of the distant past which have been dubbed religions by c o m m o n usage.

Second, there is a necessity of including in our definition many nonsupernatural, humanistic systems of thought which, although not centered about a deity, do make radical moral and emotional claims on their followers.

And more: outlets that were installed but never worked, a furnace we had to light to get heat and that kept going out and we kept re-lighting (it took us a week to get hot water for our showers in bathrooms the renovation never touched), and the walling over of a perfectly usable closet-plus many more that we can live with but shouldn't have to.

These conditions do not exist without repeated calls to the maintenance department that get repeatedly ignored. And to top off the entire situation, the man in charge of electrical aspects of the house improvement showed up one day and installed a fan in the shower that we never asked for or needed.

A few days later our R.A. received a note from Maintenance saying that all the electrical work had been completed. Tell me that when I stick my fingers in the light switch.

Maintenance is a very busy department on this campus and they did a good job on fixing Mandeville. All we ask is that they finish the job. Simply because it won't do.

THE

LEATHER

In seeking to frame a definition of religion which is amenable to both c o m m o n and scholarly usage, scholars are caught in the problem of reconciling the unthinking yet powerful contradictions in the common usage of the word "religion" t o an unambiguous understanding of that term.

T H I S difficult problem has hampered the quest for a definition satisfactory to all w h o have an interest in the definition of religion. , Most definitions offered in the past reflect the concerns of their authors and c o n f o r m t o different personal or cultural temperaments. An emotional emphasis has been captured by Schleiermacher.^ "Religion is the feeling of absolute depen dence.

T h e intellectual emphasis has been stated by Max Muller: "Religion is a mental faculty or disposition, which independent of, nay in spite of, sense and reason, enables man t o apprehend the Infinite.

WILLIAM JAMES offers a more modern, pragmatic, individual emphasis: "Religion shall mean for us the feelings, acts and experiences of individual men in their solitude, so far as they apprehend themselves t o stand in ^relation to whatever they may consider the divine."

Finally, here is Ambrose Bierce's witty definit i o n " f r o m his Devil's Dictionary: "Religion, n. A daughter of Hope and Fear, explaining t o Ignorance the nature of the U n k n o w a b l e . " THIS, THEN, is a brief sketch of the problem c o n f r o n t i n g those who seek to provide us with a workable, exacting definition of "religion." Although men of the past have labored without a c o m m o n , yet unambiguous notion of religion, each one gave his own personal understanding of religion, as we have seen above.

Our time, however, calls for a workable definition which is both fitting t o c o m m o n usage and exacting usage. Those who see themselves as believers in a genuine religion, whatever that religion may be, must cooperate in finding a suitable definition, so that the tasks of faith may go on, unencumbered by ambiguity and inexactness.

Science viewed as the servant of all mankind Editor's n o t e : This week's anchor essay is w r i t t e n by Professor of Chemistry I r w i n B r i n k . He examines science and h o w it brings a fuller life f o r m a n k i n d .

Scholars seem generally to agree that the e m e r g e n c e of m o d ern natural science as a recognizable e n t i t y coincides with the Renaissance, an e p o c h which was characterized by a r e n e w e d interest in the physical world as having intrinsic w o r t h ; an interest that was reflected in the music, painting, s c u l p t u r e , l i t e r a t u r e , religion, p h i l o s o p h y , and indeed in all aspects of the c u l t u r e of that time.

SCIENCE HAS since evolved f r o m the private pastimes of s o m e t i m e s e c c e n t r i c and sometimes i n d e p e n d e n t l y w e a l t h y amateurs to a vast e n d e a v o r enlisting t h o u s a n d s of professionals. It is an endeavor that profoundly influences t h e life of m o d e r n man not only in t e r m s of his material wealth, but also in t e r m s of his p h i l o s o p h y ; t h e way he views himself, his world and his d e s t i n y .

T h e rise of n a t u r a l science has been a c c o m p a n i e d at times by direct clashes b e t w e e n its o w n advocates and those of the Church, between philosophical systems allegedly based on n a t u ralistic scientific principles and philosophical s y s t e m s based on Christian and h u m a n i s t i c principles.

THE OUTCOME of m a n y of these c o n f r o n t a t i o n s o f t e n resulted, at least in r e t r o s p e c t , in increased prestige tor those w h o espoused t h e cause of science.

F u r t h e r m o r e , the spectacular technological a c h i e v e m e n t s based upon the application of scientific principles served, at least until very r e c e n t l y , as a p o w e r f u l influence on the public m i n d .

THE CENTRAL issue in most THE I N F L U E N C E has f o s t e r e d of these discussions has been the an a t t i t u d e e x e m p l i f i e d by a statedegree to which t h e course of m e n t m a d e by a recent U n i t e d scientific research should be direcS t a t e s president t o the e f f e c t that ted t o w a r d i m m e d i a t e ends that if we can send a m a n to t h e m o o n can be considered beneficial to we can certainly solve any of the the public welfare.

Debates have raged in scientific p u b l i c a t i o n s and at c o n v e n t i o n s of science societies, such as the American Association for the Adv a n c e m e n t of Science ( A A A S ) .

H o p e College in 1 9 7 3 o f f e r s a balanced strong a c a d e m i c program in the liberal a r t s and there is no d o u b t in m y m i n d that t h o s e who have guided and are currently guiding t h e destiny of t h e institution have ever m e a n t it to be otherwise.

F U R T H E R M O R E , science has to my k n o w l e d g e always been viewed at H o p e as servant of man, a m e a n s of acquiring an understanding of the universe; a universe created and sustained by Him w h o is m a d e k n o w n in Jesus Christ. T h e u n d e r s t a n d i n g gained t h r o u g h scientific research is complimentary to that acquired through the arts and h u m a n i t i e s .

It is fitting, t h e r e f o r e , in this time of public q u e s t i o n i n g of science goals, t h a t the dedication t h e m e reflect the historic H o p e c o m m i t m e n t , " S c i e n c e as Servant of M a n .

T H U R S D A Y evening at 8 : 1 5 , Dr. William Pollard will give an address in D i m n e n t Memorial Chapel entitled " A Christian View of Science As Servant of M a n . " Dr. Pollard has had a long and p r o d u c t i v e career as a physicist and has written n u m e r o u s b o o k s and articles dealing with science and the Christian f a i t h .

Following his address there will be a reception-discussion session in r o o m 2 2 0 of Peale Science Center. A second m a j o r address is scheduled for Friday m o r n i n g at 9 : 0 0 in the Chapel and is entitled "Science as Servant of Man, A

Scientist's Perspective" by Dr. William Bevan.

DR. BEVAN is a noted psychologist, f o r m e r Provost of J o h n H o p k i n s University, and c u r r e n t l y E x e c u t i v e O f f i c e r of A A A S , o n e of t h e world's largest and m o s t prestigious science organizations.

Dr. Bevan has been the prime mover in focusing AAAS e f f o r t s on grappling with the i m p a c t , g o o d and b a d , of science and t e c h n o l o g y on society.

Immediately following this address there will be a receptiondiscussion in r o o m 220 of Peale Science Center. These addresses will not be devoted to technical scientific m a t t e r s but will stress r a t h e r the i m p a c t of science o n the lives of people.

THOSE OF US w h o have planned the program firmly believe t h a t these events will be of interest and value to every segm e n t of the college c o m m u n i t y and a w o r t h w h i l e academic experience for all s t u d e n t s . We invite your participation.

Particularly we encourage y o u t o a t t e n d the t w o receptiondiscussion sessions a f t e r each address. These receptions have b e e n planned to provide an o p p o r t u n i t y for interested persons to participate in i n f o r m a l discussions with t h e speakers.

T h e success of the receptiondiscussions will depend u p o n people speaking u p to voice their c o n c e r n s and q u e s t i o n s . Y o u r participation in t h e s e will be most appreciated.

No more security leaks

R I N G - D I N G - C H I N G - P i n b a l l i n g has b e c o m e a p o p u l a r new p a s t i m e at Hope as this crowd a r o u n d t h e m a c h i n e s in t h e b a s e m e n t of t h e DeWitt ' C u l t u r a l Center a m p l y indicates. Fof one thift q u a r t e r the enthusiast o b t a i n s possible h o u r s of pleasure as long as he can keep ringing u p those " f r e e " games.

Guest conductors highlight Kletz concert tomorrow The ninth annual Hope College Band Kletz Concert will be held t o m o r r o w night at 8 : 1 5 . There is no admission charge and the informal evening will include d o n u t s and cider sold by Delta O m i c r o n , the w o m e n ' s music f r a t e r n i t y .

Guest c o n d u c t o r s will once again spotlight this year's performance as the new maestros have been h a n d p i c k e d f r o m the faculty.

Cindy Bean, i n s t r u c t o r in physical e d u c a t i o n , will c o n d u c t Ponchielli's ' ' D a n c e of the H o u r s , " George Ralph, associate professor

of t h e a t e r , will preside over a medley of Beatle's songs. Assistant Professor of Religion Wayne Boulton will make his d e b u t with songs f r o m Godspell.

The Band, conducted by Robert Cecil, will p e r f o r m the Light Cavalry O v e r t u r e , songs of Cole Porter and various marches.

The last half of t h e program will feature the Stage Band, c o n d u c t e d

by Wilson Richardson.

The w o m e n ' s field hockey t e a m will also p e r f o r m a n d " s i n g " a version of " D a n c e of the H o u r s . " Boulton will also be playing the d r u m s during the s h o w .

O n c e u p o n a time there was a G r o p e College f r e s h m a n n a m e d Calvin V a n d e r S c h m a a z m a . Calvin had t h e distinction of being a leading e x p e r t on d r i n k i n g f o u n t a i n s . He had m a d e it his task t o sample water f r o m as m a n y f o u n t a i n s as he possibly could. S o m e of his m o r e exciting drinks included sneaking a sip f r o m the executive f o u n t a i n at the White House. But all does not always go well for such a daring person.

A T 7 : 0 0 P.M., one average G r o p e evening, Calvin was r e t u r n i n g f r o m the library where he had been s t u d y i n g for his first Philosophy 113 e x a m . Understandably d r y - m o u t h e d , he decided that a drink f r o m one of the s e c o n d floor f o u n t a i n s in the new science c e n t e r would hit the s p o t . Being Unaware of the security p r o c e d u r e s at the science center, Cal entered h a p p i l y , casually and unsuspectingly. " U p against the wall," the guard at the table shouted. " W H A T ? " replied Calvin, shocked and c o n f u s e d . " U p against the wall." Cal dazedly o b e y e d , the guard quickly frisked him. " A l r i g h t , h a n d s d o w n .

Name?" " C A L V I N Vander S c h m a a z m a , " Cal replied honestly, a l t h o u g h he felt like he was lying.

"Student number?"

"12345" " G o t your ID?" " Y E A H , it's here with my key . . . just a second . . . t h e r e . " T h e guard looked at Cal's card, at Cal. at his card, and at Cal again, " G e t a h a i r c u t ? " "Well, yes, I'm parting it d i f f e r e n t l y , t o o . " " W H A T ' S y o u r business h e r e ? " " I ' d like t o get a drink of water, if it's not too much trouble." " O K , I ' L L have to issue you a pass." T h e guard p r o c e e d e d to fill out the necessary f o r m s . " T h e r e , " he said, h a n d i n g Cal the pass, " t h a t means y o u can get one drink of water, n o buying a coke or getting a c a n d y bar, j u s t one drink of water. G o t t h a t ? "

Cal n o d d e d .

"Sign here . . . here . . . here . . . and here. Rem e m b e r one d r i n k and right back o u t . " T H E G U A R D u n b o l t e d the d o o r and let Calvin through.

O u r hero f o u n d t h e f o u n t a i n he was a f t e r , but u p o n taking a couple of swallows he realized the r u n n i n g water was doing its d i r t y psychological work. "I g o t t a go to the b a t h r o o m , " Cal thought, " b u t I'm not registered f o r t h a t . Maybe if I just duck in real quick and then right back out I can do it w i t h o u t g e t t i n g c a u g h t . " BEING in the wrong as he obviously was, you can guess w h a t h a p p e n e d to Cal, c a n ' t y o u boys and girls? T h a t ' s right, just as Cal was washing his hands he noticed that b l o n d e head of hair, t h a t wo all love and respect, j u s t over the wall of tjie next stall. It was Ben Bear Man. Ben growled, " G o t a pass lu be in h e r e ? " " W E L L , no, 1 was just getting a drink of water and . . . " " Y o u c a n ' t be in here w i t h o u t a pass, you know." " Y e s I k n o w t h a t , but . . . " " H A V E Y O U ever considered the n u m b e r of grade school kids that might c o m e in here whenever they like and just use our r e s t r o o m s like they were public latrines if we weren't as careful as we are?" " N o 1 h a d n ' t considered it. but . . . " " Y O U ' R E going to have to c o m e with me, s o n . " " C o m e with y o u ? " " T h a t ' s right, in a time w h e n there are u n a u t h o rized leaks in national s e c u r i t y , we'll have no u n a u t h o r i z e d leaks in o u r security " CAL WENT where all bad little b o y s go. straight to Dean Wary. He was severely r e p r i m a n d e d by the dean and his p a r e n t s were sent an official nasty note q u e s t i o n i n g their ability to raise children.

It's a good thing for ail of us here at G r o p e that c a m p u s security was able to puts its finger in the d y k e and keep the leak f r o m b e c o m i n g a f l o o d .

PQ cem in Tern's III

k

by Chad Butk Pacem in Terris III was billed as a "national convocation t o consider new opportunities for United States foreign policy." It p u r p o r t e d t o examine in a nonpartisan way w h a t the U.S. could do t o bring peace t o a world that faces either peace or catastrophe.

T O MOVE toward this goal, experts in the area of foreign policy f r o m the fields of government, political science, economics and the media were brought together.

The resulting f o u r days of brainstorming in Washington, D.C. revealed as much constructive thinking as destructive, pointless rhetoric; the net effect was to obscure objective inquiry i n t o U.S. policies and their alternatives with a very partisan leftist taint.

Y E T , FOR all of the "Liberal Establishment's" irrationality in tearing down American policies in foreign affairs merely because t h e y bear the Kissinger s t a m p rather than the Fulbright, a few speakers did transcend the prevalent narrowmindedness and produce insights both brilliant and undistorted by political extremes.

One such individual was Peter Peterson, forme;- â&#x20AC;˘ Secretary of Commerce, who spoke on world trade and economic competition and their implications for the U.S. He first pointed o u t that t h e era of American economic self-sufficiency is over; because of the dollar devaluation and t h e increased global standard of living the competition f o r limited resources has increased.

THE IMMEDIATE effects of this can be seen in the oil shortage and the rising price of f o o d s t u f f s , which according to Peterson, are only the beginning of f u t u r e economic headaches. The U.S. simply cannot continue to consume one-third of the world's resources with only 6% of t h e global population and not pay more. If this is unattractive, then we must concentrate on consuming less and conserving more.

Besides increased conservation of resources, Peterson r e c o m m e n d e d a n u m b e r of other economically prudent steps. First, he outlined t h e need t o develop "distant economic early warning systems" to forecast shortages in important resource commodities.

SECOND, there is the necessity for large-scale research of alternative energy sources, especially solar and atomic. Third, the U.S. must m a k e plans to coordinate and share our resources w i t h other countries and relate our food advantage t o other countries' resource advantages.

Finally, our policy-makers should recognize and prepare for t h e growing impact of global economics on global politics.

IN T H E AREA of international law and organization, Richard Gardner, a Columbia University professor and former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, revealed a pragmatism rare in the school of world federalists.

Rather than dealing in idealistic platitudes regarding the need for world government, Gardner argued for a functionalist approach, " t o build our house of world order f r o m the b o t t o m u p rather than f r o m the top d o w n . " THIS CALLS for a wide range of world institutions to manage the nations' mutual interdependence of technological, economic and political interests.

T h e speaker pointed to potential, viable world institutions in terms of the required revitalization of the International Monetary F u n d , the strengthening of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, and the inevitable increase of multilateral assistance agencies such as the World Bank G r o u p .

G A R D N E R ' S approach to world federalism along the "hard r o a d " of continual institution building for common problem solving among nations reflected true realism, a rare concept in Pacem in Terris III. The final expert with valuable insights was James C. T h o m s o n , Jr., Artio addressed himself to t h e relationship of government and media. T h o m s o n is a former journalist. State Department O f f i c e r and Associate of the East Asian Research Institute.

WITH T H I S background, he stressed t h e importance of t h e mass media as a "circuit re-connecter," i.e. the means by which one level of government bureaucracy can be informed of what a n o t h e r level is doing.

In addition, Thomson described how t h e overseas American press interacts with our Foreign Service and vice-versa to educate each other o n events

FINALLY, this speaker criticized t h e government *s security classification system as being t o o rigid and described his State Department experience of classifying "superfluous trivia" t o supposedly keep it off the f r o n t page of t o m o r r o w ' s New York Times.

So much for some of the positive aspects of Pacem in Terris III. Now for the negative.

MANY OF the " n o n - p a r t i s a n " speakers inveighed against the Nixon Administration for the sheer hell of it. Of course, rational criticisiq would have been one thing, but the comments this writer heard indicated an amazing ignorance of what really deserves criticism in the Administration.

John K. Galbraith, for example, must have been suffering f r o m intellectual impotence t o c o m m e n t that "a foreign policy that needs E. Howard H u n t can't be right." . . .One wonders what Galbraith actually gains f r o m piddling away his academic distinction.

The Servant of Two Masters, the play currently appearing in the DeWitt Theater, has been entered as a part of t h e American College Theater Festival.

THIS IS t h e sixth year of the Festival which seeks t o pay special tribute t o t h e more t h a n 2 , 3 0 0 college and university theaters t h r o u g h o u t t h e United States.

Over 2 5 0 productions involving several thousand student performers and technicians will participate in 13 regional divisions.

All of the productions are first presented locally on the h o m e campuses and viewed by criticjudges w h o will select six of the best entries t o appear at regional festivals this winter. Finally, a total of ten productions will be invited t o appear at t h e John F. Kennedy Center for t h e Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. next April.

THE FESTIVAL is co-sponsored by A m o c o Oil Company and American Airlines. It is presented by t h e Kennedy C e n t e r and t h e Smithsonian Institution in association with the American

National Theatre and Academy, h is produced by t h e American Theatre Association.

According t o Assistant Professor of Theater J o h n T a m m i , director of H o p e ' s e n t r y , t h e Festival represents a significant joining of American business with educational and cultural institutions in helping foster good theater. u I t offers those of us involved w i t h educational theater t h e chance t o see what others are doing," T a m m i said. â&#x20AC;˘ T H E competitive aspect is played d o w n , " he continued.

This will be the third t i m e the theater department has participated in the Festival. T h e first time was with the American premiere of Hallelujah!, an award-winning Yugoslavian play which was selected to appear at the regional festival at Ohio University in 1971. The second entry was A Little Season, the premiere of artist-in-residence Frederick Gaines' musical.

G E O R G E McGovern was on hand and spoke long enough to show he was still hot on the 1972 campaign trail, railing against the " c o r r u p t Saigon regime" and the "blood America has on its hands f r o m that w a r . " In that vein, he was accompanied

by Senators Muskie, Humphrey, and Gene McCarthy (sort of like a mini-Democratic convention).

However, Senator McGovern got neatly snubbed

by Senator Muskie, who glanced over at Hubert H u m p h r e y and observed: " I ' m always glad t o share a speakers' p l a t f o r m with Hubert. Looking at Hubert, I can't help but think how different it would be n o w if he'd been elected in 1 9 6 8 . " O F C O U R S E , Senator Muskie forgot to observe how glad he was to share t h e platform with George, because if George were elected last November it would be different now.

C o m m e n t s like these f r o m the speakers irritated me because they represent petty politics rather t h a n purposeful scholarship. However, what infuriated me was t h e a n n o u n c e m e n t of Vice President Agnew's resignation at the beginning of a session. What was the audience reaction? Not one of shock and disbelief, followed by the sadness of what had happened t o our country.

NO, N O T at all. Instead, they clapped and cheered. Horrified, I saw one woman weep with j o y .

This behavior forced me t o leave the auditorium; I spent the rest of t h e day trying to determine h o w long America could survive with a citizen mentality expressed in that j o y o u s reaction t o the first resignation of a U.S. Vice President f o r criminal wrongdoing.

My conclusions were n o t optimistic. American government has lately experienced convulsions of crisis proportions, but for anyone to use them as cause for delight must be very sick indeed.

THIS, T H E N was Pacem in Terris III. T h e chairman of one of the sessions enthusiastically told the audience that "whatever we say improves u p o n the First A m e n d m e n t . " I will not deny the validity of t h a t . Neither will I deny the need f o r discussion of any political shading that may constructively facilitate peace at a time when a war in Southeast Asia has been replaced by turmoil in the Middle East.

However, I will deny the place for irrational leftist rhetoric in a conference publicized as a non-partisan objective search for policies furthering peace. In this sense, Pacem in Terris 111 was t o o one-sided, leading me to the only possible remedy for Pacem in Terris IV: let the conservative perspective be heard!

The balance in ideas that will result can only increase the rational insights into the prospects for and the m e t h o d s to attain peace on this earth.

Contract curriculum adopted by few students

by Annetta Miller Although t h e contract curriculum, a new alternative t o t h e conventional m a j o r / m i n o r curriculum has attracted only three students to date, it has been termed a "great experience" by those participating.

ACCORDING TO Dean f o r Academic Affairs J o h n Stewart, t w o students have already completed a semester on the contract curriculum and one student is enrolled this semester.

T w o members of last year's senior class completed their last semester through off-campus scientific research programs on t h e contract curriculum and have since been admitted t o medical schools.

ONE OF t h e students, a biology major, was engaged in cancer

According t o Stewart, the serious risks involved in undertaking the contract curriculum have apparently prevented a larger number of students f r o m adopting t h e contract plan. One such risk is t h e fact that few professional graduate schools will acknowledge grades earned in such a program.

Another is the high cost involved for those w h o choose to study in an off-campus or foreign s t u d y program.

He said that although the contract curriculum is not an honors program, it does require a considerable a m o u n t of maturity and self-discipline. He added that the n u m b e r of semesters under a contract is also determined by the student.

EVALUATION of the contract curriculum is made by a faculty contract c o m m i t t e e , consisting of the Dean and three faculty members. Each student, together with a m e n t o r chosen f r o m among the faculty, is responsible to the committee.

-"The c o m m i t t e e puts a high premium on the evaluation process. We believe that education is not simply experiencing. The education process is underway when experience is explained. The quality of that explanation must be evaluated," said Stewart.

He added that all copies of students' contracts will be placed on file in the Dean's office for student use.

STEWART stressed that the responsibility for the design and execution of a contract curriculum rests almost solely on t h e student. "Before a student decides to contract a curriculum he should ask himself whether he can handle this type of a program and whether it is appropriate for him and his profession," Stewart said.

Fried announces increased foreign study opportunities Fried also noted that there are numerous scholarship opportunities for postgraduate studies at German universities. These awards number some 200.

A somewhat restricted undergraduate scholarship for study abroad is offered by the Holland Rotary Club to students whose home is in the Holland-Zeeland area. Rotary International Scholarships are also available for graduate study abroad, but are restricted to local residents. Interested students should contact Fried for further information on these programs.

T h e International Education Office recently announced a variety of scholarship opportunities overseas including a program for on-the-job-training in technical fields.

A UNIQUE work o p p o r t u n i t y program is offered through the International Association for the Exchange of Students for Technical Experience (IAESTE). Under this program, sophomores or juniors are placed in research laboratories or other work assignments abroad for a period of eight to ten weeks during the summer.

Students are paid a maintenance allowance which covers living expenses but probably not travel costs. Descriptive brochures and application blanks are available f r o m the International Education Office. The application deadline for the summer of 1974 is Dec. 10.

Fight Lung Disease

DR. PAUL Fried, professor of history and director of the IEO, announced that applications for Fulbright grants f o r "graduate study abroad must be filed by Nov. 1. Full grants, which provide round trip transportation, tuition and maintenance, are available to 33 countries. Some 5 9 0 awards are offered to qualified graduate students.

There are also a n u m b e r of opportunities for graduates to teach English as a second language in Austria and Japan. Several recent H o p e graduates have already held such assistantships in Austria.

THE NEW program in Japan is set t o begin in the summer of 1974. This program, which is sponsored by the Council on International Educational Exchange, has a limited n u m b e r of grants available to qualified students.

Applicants should have demonstrated a definite interest in Japanese culture and have training in the teaching of English as a second language.

Carlson was named MIAA offensive player of the week for his performance Saturday. He ran back a punt twenty-six yards to set up one TD and also ran the two-point conversion.

This Saturday, Hope faces the toughest game of the season as they meet the Hornets of Kalamazoo for Homecoming. Hope is presently leading the MIAA with a record of 3-0, while Kalamazoo is second with a standing of 2-1. The game will be played at Riverview Park, and will begin at 2:15 p.m.

Hope Beats Albion hooters, Swier kicks winning goal Hope's booters won their first MIAA match last Saturday defeating Albion College 2-1. Hope had dropped their first two conference matches to Kalamazoo and Calvin.

Leaving the first half, Hope found itself d o w n by a score of 1-0. When the Britons came back on the field they faced a team that was ready to play. John Clough opened the scoring early in the second half with a goal.

Glenn Swier floated a picturebook goal into the upper corner of the net a few minutes later.

The Dutch controlled the remainder of play in the game by keeping the ball in the Albion half of the playing field.

T h e next h o m e match will be against Calvin College at Van Haalte field.

T.H.E. Bug

by Chris Liggett "Sure, I'm running well, but I can't take all of the credit. Without the job the offensive line is doing opening holes, I'd come up to the line and, BOOM, this little body is broken all over the field."

The speaker is Ed (Bug) Sanders, who is currently the f o u r t h leading rusher in the nation.

BUG PLAYED his high school ball in Brewton, Ala. There he performed as a linebacker and an offensive center. 4<I wasn't fast enough to be a running back in high school. So, I played linebacker and the center position was open so I grabbed it."

When Bug came to Hope in the summer of 1970, he came to play on the line. The first day of practice for the football team involves timing each team member in a 40-yard dash. Bug, slated as a member of the offensive line, was the fastest person on the team.

AFTER SITTING on the bench during his freshman year, Bug was urged by people on his wing in Kollen to try out as a running back in the next season. As all the f a i t h f u l followers of the football team k n o w , he t o o k their advice.

Bug has felt all along that he could do the job, but at times it has seemed that the coaches have disagreed with him. He likes the contact involved in the game, and almost enjoys being on the receiving end of all the hitting.

BUG IS THE first open field runner Hope has had in many years. By this I mean that he has the ability t o o u t r u n his o p p o n e n t s once he makes it through the line. This speed has enabled him to average over 150 yards in every game he has played this year.

Sanders is currently ahead of the pace that Bob Lamer set when he broke the Hope rushing record last season. He explained, " I ' m not concerned with setting a new record. Sure, it'd be great but I'd rather just run and help win the championship."

This is the type of runner he is. "Whenever I get the ball, no matter if it's second and one I'm looking for the goal line," he added.

LAST YEAR Ed played some fullback while Lamer was at the tailback slot. " I ' m no blocking back; I just d o n ' t have the ability to do it. I really envy Chuck Brooks. He's just super at fullback.

When he opens a hole I can see daylight for miles a r o u n d , " Sanders said.

There will be an organizational meeting for winter sports Tuesday, October 30 at 3:30. The sports included for winter are bowling, handball, basketball and hockey.

Intramural managers must be there if they want their team to play.

With the regular season of intramural football over, nominations for the all-intramural teams are now being accepted. This AllStar team will be impartially picked and all nominations should be turned i n t o the anchor office

by Oct. 31. Both offensive and defensive stars will be picked f r o m both leagues.

There is a lot of pressure riding on Bug for the next game against Kalamazoo. By now, every team knows that he is the man to stop, and this makes running that much harder.

"I know there's pressure, and I love it. There's pressure on everybody on the team. If we win Saturday, we should win the championship. I don't feel all the pressure because all I have to do is run the ball. The pressure is on the line, they have to fight off all the guys trying to get me, and I know I'm going to be able to run against Kalamazoo because they're as fired as I a m . " • * •

Bad news for soccer enthusiasts. Mark Van Voorst, Hopes leading goal scorer in recent years will most likely be lost for most of the remaining season. He incurred a shoulder seperation in the match against Albion and has to have his arm immobilized for at least two weeks. » * *

THE intramural football championships are now being played. Play-offs between the top four teams in the frat and Kollen leagues began Monday. The final game will be played Friday at 6 : 3 0 p.m. at Van Raalte Field. *

A note to intramural football coaches. Get your nominations into the anchor office by next Wednesday for the All-Intramural team.

AND NOW, what you've all been waiting for, the prediction for the upcoming game. Hope has of late, been dominating both statistically and scorewise.

The Dutch have not lost a h o m e c o m i n g game in many years and they have t o o much riding on this game to make any costly errors.

The team is definitely going to be ready to play against Kalamazoo, but I have one suggestion.

Instead of giving a "win it for the gipper" fire-up pre-game talk. Coach Smith should, after last week's exhibition of ball handling, play the Sticky Fingers album and hope the idea catches on. Prediction . . .

BLACK COALITION CHAIRMAN ED S A N D E R S

"What a lot of w h i t e s d o n ' t realize is t h a t every weekend on H o p e ' s c a m p u s is white experience w e e k e n d , " said C h a i r m a n of t h e Black Coalition Ed Sanders, in an interview last T u e s d a y .

SANDERS continued that the Black Coalition is n o w trying t o organize a Black E x p e r i e n c e weekend (scheduled for Nov. 16 a n d 17) and is having t r o u b l e getting enough m o n e y f o r a band f r o m the S t u d e n t Activities C o m m i t t e e . " S A C m e m b e r s o f f e r e d excuses such as if we give to t h e Coalition, we'll have t o give to t h e Chicanos, the Arabs, e t c . " Sanders went on t o say t h a t all the Coalition needed was an a d d i t i o n a l $125.

Sanders s t a t e d , "We are here like e v e r y b o d y else, f o r an educat i o n , and like e v e r y b o d y else we desire s o m e recreation w h e n we're through studying. But r e c r e a t i o n here is very much whiteoriented."

HE CONTINUED that Hope is an unlikely place for black

s t u d e n t s t o go because of t h e admissions policies. " F i r s t of all," he said, " i t seems t h e r e is an u n s p o k e n rule for t h e weeding out of a n y r o w d y blacks for possible admissions. Also t h e r e are n o black recruiters. T h e admissions d e p a r t m e n t could be m o r e effective in recruiting blacks if the pitch f o r H o p e were m o r e blacko r i e n t e d , " Sanders a d d e d .

Sanders suggested that admission recruiters u n d e r g o a training course t h a t would a c q u a i n t t h e m with t h e desires of potential black s t u d e n t s . T h e admissions d e p a r t m e n t could find o u t f r o m the Coalition what kind of q u e s t i o n s blacks will ask, and w h a t t h e y will e x p e c t f r o m this o f f i c e . Sanders asserted t h a t admissions could be m a k i n g a m u c h greater e f f o r t in the field of black recruiting. " A S F A R as bringing in black professors, m y first r e a c t i o n is o n e of h e s i t a t i o n because of t h e great a m o u n t of pressure t h a t w o u l d be placed on h i m , " commented Sanders.

" T h e white professor can be average and still m a i n t a i n his posit i o n , but the black man must be o u t s t a n d i n g , " exclaimed Sanders.

He cited the firing of J o h n Jackson as a case in p o i n t .

BUT H O P E , its s t u d e n t s and f a c u l t y , really need e x p o s u r e to black professors to get an adeq u a t e u n d e r s t a n d i n g of the. black experience, a c c o r d i n g t o Sanders.

He cited t h e fact t h a t white stud e n t s are never e x p o s e d t o a black teacher-student relationship. " A lot of blacks have taken living at H o p e in a negative way, b u t I personally have learned a lot a b o u t white A m e r i c a , ' Sanders a d d e d . " S o m e e x p e c t us to he white in such an e n v i r o n m e n t but we d e m a n d o u r b l a c k n e s s . " T h e p u r p o s e of t h e Black Experience w e e k e n d is n o t only f o r black expression a n d entertainm e n t , but it is also f o r t h e rest of t h e c a m p u s as a learning experie n c e and for their e n j o y m e n t .
