Mrs. Doris A n d e r s e n , c h a i r m a n of t h e I n t e r n a t i o n a l League f o r Peace and F r e e d o m , expressed surprise at the favorable response of the G r a n d R a p i d s e l e c t o r a t e to the ballot q u e s t i o n . " I t was a m u c h higher margin t h a n I had h o p e d f o r in this conservative c o m m u n i t y . 1 wasn't even sure it would p a s s , " she said.

Members of t h e Holland Human Relations C o m m i s s i o n and 9 0 invited guests discussed "Priorities f o r C h a n g e " during an all-day c o n f e r e n c e at Marigold Lodge Saturday.

H O L L A N D M A Y O R William L a m b set the t e n o r f o r the d a y ' s business in his welcoming r e m a r k s when he charged Holland resid e n t s with " i n t o l e r a n c e , selfishness and misplaced p i e t y . " He chided so-called " p i o u s c h u r c h m e n " for their r eluctance to move to improve h u m a n relations within the city. T h e m a y o r cited a need f o r changes in the " r e a l m of h u m a n l i f e " and the " a t t i t u d e s of each c i t i z e n " in order t o attain racial h a r m o n y within t h e c o m m u n i t y .

DR. D A V I D MYERS, associate p r o f e s s o r of psychology and c h a i r m a n of the H H R C , e n u m e r ated the objectives of the meeting.

He noted a need to establish a " c o m m u n i t y c o n s c i o u s n e s s " that p a r t i c i p a n t s could t a k e away with them pass on to their diverse individual groups.

He viewed the c o n f e r e n c e as a " u n i q u e o p p o r t u n i t y to pool ideas for positive c h a n g e " and charged the task g r o u p s to "limit their targets and hit hard objectives aimed at positive c h a n g e . " T H E PROCEDURES used in discussion were devised by Carl F. S c h a c k o w , assistant professor of e d u c a t i o n and Dr. J o h n H o p k i n s , assistant p r o f e s s o r of c o m m u n i c a t i o n . According to their plan, delegates first met in large g r o u p s and moved to small " t a s k g r o u p " c o m m i t t e e s m a d e u p of five to eight m e m b e r s .

H o p k i n s asked t h a t representatives remove their organizational masks and a t t e m p t to put aside their individual needs. He called f o r " g r o u p e f f o r t " and u n i t y .

TWO MAJOR c o n c e r n s evolved during the meeting: the need for expanded community communication and improved e d u c a t i o n .

N o n e of the various g r o u p s ' findings stressed this need m o r e than those of the g o v e r n m e n t - c o m m u n i t y relations task g r o u p .

C o m p r i s e d primarily of government representatives, m e m b e r s of c o m m u n i t y service agencies and

c h u r c h m e n , this g r o u p r e p o r t e d large gaps of c o m m u n i c a t i o n between the o f f i c e s of g o v e r n m e n t and area m i n o r i t y g r o u p s . Spanish Americans cited a need for inform a t i o n a b o u t the workings of g o v e r n m e n t as they pertain to their c o m m u n i t y .

T H E C O M M I T T E E also urged the f o r m a t i o n of assistance and training g r o u p s to e d u c a t e Latin American organizations in methods of communication through the public media.

Spanish-Americans within this g r o u p expressed the view that " H o l l a n d was a city f o r the Dutch with little r o o m for ' o u t s i d e r s . ' " T h e y cited H o l l a n d ' s so-called "Blue L a w s " as particularly discriminating, because by restricting Holland business on S u n d a y the laws impose the Dutch culture on the Chicano. T h e g r o u p has asked that the city a t t o r n e y rule on the c o n s t i t u t i o n a l i t y of the laws and deliver a decision by J a n u a r y 1.

VOTER registration was ano t h e r topic discussed by the government-community relations group.

Governmental sources within the c o m m i t t e e s put the n u m b e r of registered voters in minor ity g r o u p s at below 50 percent. To help alleviate this problem, the g r o u p called for voter registration drives and bi-lingual ballots.

Finally, the g r o u p p r o p o s e d that the H H R C be made a c h a r t e r commission.

M e m b e r s of the g r o u p felt that with closer ties to governmental committees and more specific tasks, the c o m m i s sion could gain m u c h needed influence. eon tinned on page 6, column I

Holland pollution abatement: expensive and slow Editor's note: This is the t h i r d article in a four-part series by senior chemistry major Ken Janda exploring the ecological status of Lake Macatawa. This week he explores the principal efforts being made t o reduce pollution of the lake.

In the three-year period f r o m J a n u a r y 1970 to D e c e m b e r 1972, millions of dollars will have been spent to clean u p t h e e f f l u e n t that p o u r s i n t o Lake Macatawa f r o m various sources.

THE SUM represents a b o u t $ 1 0 0 for each resident of the Holland area. Much of the m o n e y is being s p e n t to bring e f f l u e n t pollution levels in line w i t h new state regulations.

The Holland municipal treatm e n t plant is in t h e process of adding $3.6 million w o r t h of seco n d a r y sewage t r e a t m e n t facilities, according t o Larry Martin, t h e plant supervisor. S e c o n d a r y t r e a t m e n t involves t h e use of bacteria t o eat organic m a t t e r and aid in the s e d i m e n t a t i o n process.

DURING PRIMARY treatment the only s e d i m e n t a t i o n f o r c e is gravity. Primary t r e a t m e n t removes a b o u t 4 6 percent of the solid in the w a t e r ; the new seco n d a r y plant is s u p p o s e d to remove 95 p e r c e n t of the solids.

U n f o r t u n a t e l y , p h o s p h a t e s are not going t o be removed c o m pletely even by the bacteria.

Martin is weighing his o p t i o n s b e t w e e n using lime or a p o l y m e r developed by D o w Chemical Co. to precipitate the p h o s p h a t e .

Since lime is q u i t e cheap, and since the p o l y m e r costs nearly $2 a p o u n d , the m o r e old f a s h i o n e d process will p r o b a b l y be used, Martin indicated.

C H E M E T R O N has s p e n t a b o u t $ 3 5 0 , 0 0 0 t o add s e c o n d a r y treatm e n t to its p o l l u t i o n c o n t r o l s y s t e m . When ready f o r use, the system will give s e c o n d a r y treatm e n t to nearly 6 0 0 , 0 0 0 gallons of waste water per day which now receive primary t r e a t m e n t only.

According to Nick Bhamini, an engineer at C h e m e t r o n , t h e h e a r t of the system is a 5 million gallon lagoon i n t o which the wastes will be p u m p e d to be eaten by the bacteria. Bhamini n o t e s that bac-

teria are living o r g a n i s m s which are not a c c u s t o m e d t o living in an e n v i r o n m e n t of c h e m i c a l wastes.

I T IS O N E OF t h e ironies of the p o l l u t i o n g a m e t h a t , in o r d e r th help the bacteria live in the harsh chemical e n v i r o n m e n t , the c o m p a n y is a d d i n g p h o s p h a t e and urea, usually p o l l u t a n t s themselves, t o the lagoon as f o o d f o r the bacteria. It is h o p e d that the bacteria will s o o n a d a p t to a diet of pigment wastes so t h a t they will n o longer need an enriched diet.

Parke Davis is o n e of t h e few c o m p a n i e s in the area which has not needed t o take large steps to meet new and t o u g h e r regulations.

According to Carl Danielson, Parke Davis' p o l l u t i o n c o n t r o l expert, the c o m p a n y adds very little waste t o the lake.

D A N I E L S O N says t h a t the key to p o l l u t i o n c o n t r o l is segregation of wastes; if wastes are g r o u p e d properly, they can be t r e a t e d selectively. This m e a n s t h a t one waste will not inhibit t h e removal of a n o t h e r and vise versa. Accordingly, Parke Davis has f o u r separate waste disposal systems.

O n e s y s t e m , f o r cooling water, leaves the w a t e r virtually untreated. T h e w a t e r is simply p u m p e d in f r o m the lake, treated in a way that r e t a r d s algae g r o w t h , used t o cool e q u i p m e n t and returned t o the lake several degrees warmer.

A N O T H E R system treats water f r o m t h e plant which has organic solvents dissolved in it. Most of these solvents are r e m o v e d and reused in the p l a n t . A third system treats t h e sanitary wastes from the 3 7 0 e m p l o y e e s and the kitchen. These wastes are given secondary t r e a t m e n t involving the use of bacteria.

Most of the m o r e d a n g e r o u s wastes are p u m p e d d o w n d e e p wells and are s t o r e d in l i m e s t o n e strata which already c o n t a i n s conc e n t r a t e d salt water. C h e m e t r o n also d e p e n d s on d e e p wells to dispose of its m o r e t o x i c wastes which are p u m p e d to s a n d s t o n e st ra ta WASTES W H I C H are p u m p e d d o w n these wells include sulfuric acid, h y d r o c h l o r i c acid, c o p p e r and various t y p e s of salts and organics.

board hears Freedman

case; guilty

plea submitted

Neal F r e e d m a n pleaded guilty at a Judicial Board hearing last Wednesday to charges that on Oct. 18 he turned over a table being used by U.S. Marine Corps recruiters in the Kletz area of the DeWitt Cultural Center. The board will render its verdict Wednesday in the Student C o n f e r e n c e R o o m in t h e DCC. Chief Justice Michael Boonstra opened the hearing by reading the charges against F r e e d m a n . Boonstra stated that F r e e d m a n had o v e r t u r n e d the table, spilling brochures on t h e floor, and returned t o his seat. He said that the Marine recruiter had then approached F r e e d m a n and asked for his n a m e .

F r e e d m a n refused to tell the recruiter his name, Boonstra said,

adding that the Marine obtained F r e e d m a n ' s name from other persons in the Kletz and c o n t a c t e d the office of the dean of students.

A f t e r reading the charges Boonstra asked F r e e d m a n to e n t e r his plea. F r e e d m a n replied, " M u c h to y o u r d e l i g h t - g u i l t y . " Board m e m b e r and Associate Dean of S t u d e n t s Michael Gerrie asked F r e e d m a n w h a t , if any, personal reasons he had for turning over the table.

F r e e d m a n said, " Y o u k n o w the times we live in, and s o m e of you k n o w h o w I feel a b o u t t h e m . " When asked what he t h o u g h t immediately b e f o r e he t u r n e d the table over, t h e d e f e n d a n t replied, "I d o n ' t think it would help you if I went i n t o my deliberations b e f o r e the a c t . "

A proposal to replace faculty review with review by a c o m m i t tee composed of students, faculty and administrators was presented to the Administrative Affairs Board by Student Congress President Bob Scott last Monday.

T H E BOARD deferred consideration of the proposal to its next meeting, Nov. 15.

Scott stated he was presenting the proposal because of the failure of the ad hoc c o m m u n i t y review comm i t t e e to bring a plan t o the board. The ad hoc c o m m i t t e e was a p p o i n t e d last spring while the AdAB was considering a proposal to replace faculty review with review by a " c o m m u n i t y assemb l y " composed of the m e m b e r s of the three policy-making boards.

Dr. C o t t e r Tharin is chairman of the ad hoc c o m m i t t e e .

THE MEMBERS of S c o t t ' s proposed " C o m m u n i t y Review B o a r d " would be the dean for academic affairs, the dean of students, the president, 12 faculty m e m b e r s ( f o u r f r o m each division) and six students.

Review action could be requested either with a petition containing the signatures of 20 percent of the faculty or 20 percent of the s t u d e n t b o d y . Twothirds of the c o m m i t t e e would be required t o oppose a measure in o r d e r to veto it.

IN ADDITION to its review f u n c t i o n , the proposed C o m m u n ity Review Board would " k e e p an overview of the b o a r d - c o m m i t t e e

DCC game prices studied

by Leslie Carry The prices in the DeWitt Cultural Center gameroom may seem a bit high t o you, but according to J o h n Jackson, director of s t u d e n t activities, the fees charged for bowling, ping-pong and pool at Hope are lower than at most schools with similar facilities and enrollment.

T H E PRICES for pool and bowling were researched last year by student Craig Neckers in anticipation of the opening of the cultural center in the fall. Surveys which included such questions as " h o w much do you charge for e q u i p m e n t " and " d o you charge by time or by g a m e " were sent out to colleges in Michigan and to out-of-state schools such as the University of Illinois and Oberlin College.

Huttar p u b l i s h e s collection of religious essays Dr. Charles H u t t a r , chairman of the English d e p a r t m e n t , has published a collection of 20 original essays on literature and the Christian faith entitled Imagination and the Spirit.

G A T H E R E D AS A tribute to Professor Clyde Kilby of Wheaton (111.) College the 500-page volume includes c o n t r i b u t i o n s by professional colleagues of Kilby and f o r m e r students.

Several of the essays are on C. S. Lewis, the O x f o r d Christian apologist whose works have been one of Kilby's chief scholarly interests. One piece on Lewis's "Namia" stories for children presents drawings by Lewis and other previously unpublished manuscript material.

Other contributions center around c o n t e m p o r a r y writers such as Bernard Malamud, F l a n n e r y O ' C o n n o r and Howard Nemerov.

Studies of older writers in the "Christian t r a d i t i o n " range f r o m Chaucer and medieval lyrics t o Wordsworth and Coleridge.

In addition to editing the volume, H u t t a r c o n t r i b u t e d an essay on " S a m s o n ' s Identity Crisis and M i l t o n ' s . " H u t t a r began work on the volu m e in the spring of 1966, just b e f o r e joining the Hope English faculty.

T h e results of the survey were studied and an e x p e r i m e n t a l scale was drawn up by the Social Activities C o m m i t t e e . Neckers' rec o m m e n d e d price for pool was $1.20 per hour, but SAC decided to try 50c per half-hour.

T H E A V E R A G E cost for bowling used by the schools studied was between 50c and 55c per game and 20c for shoe rental.

However, SAC decided to have lower prices of 45c per game and 15c for shoes.

If any prices are raised, it will be the bowling prices, Jackson said. " T h e e q u i p m e n t is expensive and there is a constant need for a supervisor skilled in m a i n t e n a n c e essential for daily u p k e e p , which adds an extra expense because the supervisor must be trained for this p u r p o s e , " he said.

A C C O R D I N G TO Jackson, the price of ping-pong, currently Ic per minute, probably will be lowered. He noted that the price was arbitrarily determined because initially there were no criteria for establishing costs. " T h e conflict with students seems to be that they feel their activities fee should cover, at least partially, the cost of their recreational facilities," he stated.

JACKSON WENT on to say that only a small p o r t i o n of the activities fee remains to defray recreational costs a f t e r it is divided up between o t h e r s t u d e n t activities including S t u d e n t Congress, athletics. Opus, Milestone, anchor and general e n t e r t a i n m e n t

structure to insure its p r o p e r functioning."

In other action at Monday's meeting. Dr. Harrison Ryker suggested that the AdAB review the operation of the c o m m i t t e e structure. He said t h a t a review of the system after three years was rec o m m e n d e d in the report of the Special C o m m i t t e e on C o m m i t t e e Structure which established the present organization.

AFTER BRIEF discussion, AdAB chairman Alvin Vanderbush stated that the possibility of investigating the operation of the c o m m i t t e e s t r u c t u r e would be placed on the agenda for the Nov. 15 meeting.

T h e greater portion of the meeting Monday was devoted t o discussion of t w o items brought

by Dr. Henry t e n H o o r : "Discussion of changes in or additions to the s u m m e r session" and "Discussion of the place of the executive staff in the Hope College c o m m i t tee s t r u c t u r e . " TEN HOOR S T A T E D that two things should be discussed regarding s u m m e r school. T h e first was " H o w will the May in-

terim session affect the regular s u m m e r session." T h e second was how t o maintain or increase enrollment in s u m m e r school. Ten Hoor said that "across the country s u m m e r school attendance is down."

Dean for Academic Affairs Morrette Rider noted that the regular s u m m e r session should start immediately after the May session so that students would be able t o remain on c a m p u s for both.

AFTER MORE discussion, Chancellor William VanderLugt moved that a c o m m i t t e e be appointed to study the c o n t e n t , dates and recruiting procedure of the s u m m e r session. T h e m o t i o n passed.

Regarding the executive s t a f f , t e n H o o r said that he had been informed that the "people in executive staff p o s i t i o n s , " that is, administrative personnel with few policy-making responsibilities, " f i n d it difficult to c o m m u n i c a t e their needs and what they feci would be good for their w e l f a r e . " T h e board took no action regarding the executive staff.

HHRC conference WOIAPEN klmapen?

Discussion at the Holland Human Relations Commission conference Saturday at Marigold Lodge revealed a disparity between the professed spirit of Christian love and brotherhood on which Holland was founded and the actual attitudes of many Holland citizens toward their Chicano neighbors. Chicano representatives repeatedly pointed to the imposition of the Dutch culture on their own and the resulting frustration they experience.

They cited the so-called 'blue laws' as a prime example of the town's efforts to maintain cultural u n i f o r m i t y . These laws restrict Holland's business and recreation on S u n d a y - a day for recreation and enjoy-

ment in the Chicano culture. Furthermore, there are " p i o u s " church-going Hollanders who look down at Chicanos for doing certain things on Sunday which in the protestant Dutch culture are taboo. Many Hollanders fail to realize that the problem is not one of morality but rather of divergent cultures.

The Spanish-Americans also voiced concern that in nearly every facet of community life they are forced to accept another culture and deny their own. A t the HHRC conference proposals were presented for recruitment of bi lingual teachers, schoolparent bi-lingual liaisons, media presentations in Spanish, and bi-lingual ballots as means to partially alleviate this problem.

The conference also showed t h a t some Holland citizens are becoming aware that this problem exists and are willing t o take steps t o change the situation. This was evidenced in the opening remarks by Mayor William Lamb, w h o charged the conference to w o r k to effect changes in the realm of " h u m a n life and the attitudes of each individual." HHRC chairman David Myers reiterated the urgent need t o establish a " c o m m u n i t y consciousness." In line w i t h these goals, many members of the discussion groups not only sought t o outline steps to be taken but also pledged time and money to help implement the ideas.

A c t i o n of the employment group was a good example of this spirit. Influential people from organized labor, government and area industry pledged t o meet together w i t h i n the m o n t h to initiate proposed employment application review and employer education programs. Those in the housing group promised t o begin work on the proposed booklet informing tenants and landlords of their rights and responsibilities.

To institute these and similar much needed changes, Anglos must be willing to sacrifice their long-standing autonomy in and power over the structure of community resources and activities and t o allow members of the m i n o r i t y groups some latitude to express their o w n cultures. Area churchmen represent a great potential power in the implementation of the proposed changes. As the founders and sust a i n e d of present policies which discriminate against their m i n o r i t y group neighbors these people have a great responsibility to be the fulcrum in reform.

The G.R. vote The overwhelming approval of an antiwar resolution in the Grand Rapids election last Tuesday shows that the growing alienation with American involvement in Southeast Asia has finally found its way down to the political grass roots. The electorate demonstrated significant disgust w i t h the present administration's Indochina policy.

However, it is apparent that the electorate of Grand Rapids has not become radical. There is little d o u b t that at this point no concerted opposition exists to the Ford-style conservative Republicanism.

The vote does not represent an essential alteration in the political complexion of Grand Rapids.

What the vote indicates is that Grand Rapids' voters are tired of the war. It also demonstrates that a meaningful anti-war response can be gained in traditionally conservative areas. No longer can such

s

areas as Grand Rapids be counted on to support Nixon's game plan for the war.

These election results serve to illuminate new political possibilities for the Holland area. It would appear that if a referendum similar to the Grand Rapids proposal were introduced on the Holland ballot next spring it would pass. This w o u l d exert political pressure upon Holland's Congressman Guy VanderJagt.

In view of Ford's and VanderJagt's close affiliation w i t h the present administration, this pressure possibly could effect concrete results. Both Congressman Ford and Congressman VanderJagt are vulnerable to public opinion. A demonstration of majority opposition to the war diminishes their ability t o vocally support the N i x o n administration in any attempt to discontinue withdrawals or escalate the war e f f o r t . In turn this limits the administration's ability to pursue such policies by isolating N i x o n f r o m the sources of his support.

F o r t h e last f e w days, I have h a r d l y been able t o t u r n a r o u n d w i t h o u t r u n n i n g into the same old t h e m e .

I am told t h a t all a r o u n d m e lies evil, f r u s t r a t i o n , meaninglessness, helplessness and despair. " L o o k a r o u n d y o u , " p e o p l e

say, " S e e h o w bad t h e world is." I am told by s o m e people t h a t n o t h i n g can be d o n e a b o u t it.

I am told by o t h e r people t h a t Christianity is t h e answer t h a t will rid m y world of all its evil and despair. But I am hearing this so m u c h t h a t I c a n n o t help w o n d e r i n g why people have to k e e p repeating it.

Perhaps it must be p o i n t e d o u t t o me t h a t the world is far f r o m p e r f e c t or I would not notice the s o r r o w s of the world. But once I have n o t i c e d t h e m , must 1 be m a d e to sink in despair myself because I live in such a w o r l d ? Must 1 be forever looking at the evil and f r u s t r a t i o n and forget a b o u t everything else?

1 d o n ' t believe 1 m u s t . If I feel helpless and despairing, what can 1 d o a b o u t t h e evil in t h e world a r o u n d me? I will t h i n k I can d o n o t h i n g , and t h e r e f o r e will n o t even t r y . Add o n e m o r e p e r s o n c o n t r i b u t i n g t o t h e p r o b l e m , and s u b t r a c t one m o r e p e r s o n f r o m a m o n g t h o s e w h o j u s t may be able t o help solve it.

G o d has m a d e all c r e a t i o n , i n c l u d i n g all men e v e r y w h e r e . All a r o u n d m e I see his m i r a c l e s - a t r e e growing, a little girl playing h o u s e , a simple m a t h p r o b l e m being w o r k ed by a mind so c o m p l e x t h a t it will never be c o m p l e t e l y u n d e r s t o o d . All a r o u n d m e 1 see clues f o r h o p e .

I think t h a t many Christians have t h e wrong a t t i t u d e t o d a y , a n d t h o s e of us on H o p e ' s c a m p u s are no e x c e p t i o n . T h e Bible is c o n s t a n t l y telling us t o rejoice. " T h i s is the day which t h e Lord h a t h m a d e ; we will rejoice and be glad in i t , " (Psalm 1 1 8 : 2 4 ) .

He also made this life, let us rejoice and be glad in it. " R e j o i c e e v e r m o r e , " (1 Thessalonians 5 : 1 6 ) .

L e t ' s not spend t o o m u c h time in sorrowing over the t r o u b l e s in t h e w o r l d .

We must s o r r o w over t h e m or we would never try t o ease or e l i m i n a t e t h e m , but we can still f i n d t i m e f o r rejoicing.

anchor review

'Zelda': honest biography of a woman and an era Editor's note: This week's anchor review is w r i t t e n by critiques editor Kay Hubbard. She reviews Zelda by Nancy M i l f o r d (Harper and Row, 1970).

N a n c y Milford begins her bio g r a p h y of Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald w i t h a q u o t e f r o m F. S c o t t Fitzgerald's general n o t e s t o The Last Tycoon: " B i o g r a p h y is the falsest of t h e a r t s . " She is fully aware t h a t t r y i n g t o c a p t u r e the essence of the w o m a n G e r a l d M u r p h y called " a n A m e r i c a n v a l u e " is a nearly i m p o s s i b l e u n d e r t a k i n g .

S H E W R I T E S , " W h a t was it like t o c o m e t o N e w York City in the spring of 1 9 2 0 , fresh o u t of Alabama, before your twentieth b i r t h d a y ? And m a r r y Scott Fitzgerald, w h o was going to n a m e the new d e c a d e t h e Jazz Age and m a k e y o u the first A m e r i c a n Flapper? " H o w c u r i o u s that the same w o m a n w h o kissed men on fire escapes because she liked the shapes of their noses or the cut of their d i n n e r j a c k e t s would also spend h o u r s d r a w i n g Scott pictures of G a t s b y , d r a w i n g him again and again u n t i l her fingers ached and until Scott could see h i m . Certainly we knew more a b o u t Gloria and Sally Carrol and Nicole Diver t h a n we did a b o u t Zelda F i t z g e r a l d . " ADMITTING THE limitations of her u n d e r t a k i n g , Nancy Milford w r o t e this b i o g r a p h y . The work is well-researched, t h o r o u g h l y docum e n t e d and genuinely moving. ity

t e m p e s t u o u s era of which t h e y were a part a n d tries t o c a p t u r e s o m e of the essential quality of t h a t legend. R a t h e r t h a n f o r c i n g her p e r s o n a l i n t e r p r e t a t i o n of Zeld a ' s life on t h e reader, Nancy Milford utilizes t h e personal reminiscences of m o r e t h a n 100 p e o p l e w h o k n e w t h e Fitzgeralds. When m e m o r i e s c o n t r a d i c t , all versions of the incident are r e p o r t e d .

T H E A U T H O R also makes extensive use of Fitzgerald corresp o n d e n c e and b o o k s and articles w r i t t e n by t h e pair. Carefully g r o u n d e d in as o b j e c t i v e a base as possible, a c o n f u s e d , fascinating p o r t r a i t of Zelda Fitzgerald, t h e " A m e r i c a n girl living the American d r e a m " w h o " b e c a m e m a d e within i t , " emerges.

T h e book is divided into f o u r parts. T h e first is e n t i t l e d " S o u t h ern G i r l " and deals with the first 20 years of Z e l d a ' s life. Her f a t h e r was a well-respected, reserved judge, and it m u s t have been d i f f i c u l t for him t o accept the wild w a y s of his y o u n g e s t daughter.

She a c c e p t s the legendary qualof t h e Fitzgeralds and the

with C o k e , if there w a s n ' t " All of this was in reaction t o an age not far r e m o v e d f r o m Victorianism in a p a r t of t h e c o u n t r y r e n o w n e d for t h e " p r o t e c t i o n " of the p u r i t y of its white w o m e n .

Z E L D A S A Y R E met Scott Fitzgerald j u s t a m o n t h a f t e r her g r a d u a t i o n f r o m highschool. He was s t a t i o n e d in M o n t g o m e r y waiting to be shipped overseas t o fight in the Great War. T h e war e n d e d b e f o r e his orders came.

A f t e r a wild, disjointed c o u r t s h i p , the t w o were married, and Zelda left the sheltered existence of A l a b a m a f o r New York City.

T h e s e c o n d section of the b o o k , " T h e T w e n t i e s " tells of the dazzling years when S c o t t ' s literary r e p u t a t i o n soared, and the Fitzgeralds were t h e darlings of the s o p h i s t i c a t e d set. These were the d a y s of endless parties, d r a m a tic scenes, d r u n k e n brawls and arrogant d e f i a n c e of any limitations that a n y o n e tried t o warn t h e m of.

MRS. M I L F O R D writes: " F o r her p a r t , even as a child Zelda was not u n a w a r e of t h e e f f e c t she c r e a t e d . She possessed early a certain c o m m a n d over o t h e r s , m a k i n g t h e m d o w h a t she w a n t e d t h e m to. She also had a knack of d r a w i n g a t t e n t i o n t o herself. Stories a b o u t her escapades a b o u n d in M o n t g o m e r y . " As Zelda grew o l d e r , her n o t o r iety grew. " S h e n e c k e d , she s m o k e d , and she drank gin, if there was any, or c o r n liquor cut

T H E R E IS A desperation in this part of the b i o g r a p h y , as if the Fitzgeralds knew that the world w o u l d not indulge t h e m forever. T h e y were almost driven to get w h a t e v e r t h e y could f r o m life b e f o r e it was t o o late.

T h e y lived a m o n g t h e expatria t e s on t h e Riviera as if "living well was the best revenge for not living f o r e v e r . " But t h e f r a n t i c pace of the g l a m o r o u s life they h a d created f o r themselves eventually w o r e t h e m d o w n . Scott f o u n d it impossible to finish Tender is the Night, and Zelda began to lose all t o u c h w i t h reality. " B R E A K I N G D O W N " is the third part of the b o o k . T h i s section relates the struggle of Zelda Fitzgerald to m a i n t a i n her sanity.

She never c o m p l e t e l y recovered f r o m her first b r e a k d o w n .

Fitzgerald w r o t e in Tender is the Night, " O n e writes of scars healed, a loose parallel to the p a t h o l o g y of the skin, but there is no such thing in the life of an individual.

There are open w o u n d s , shrunk s o m e t i m e s to the size of a pin-prick, but w o u n d s still. T h e marks of s u f f e r i n g are m o r e c o m p a r a b l e to the loss of a finger, or of the sight of an eye.

We may not miss t h e m , either, for one m i n u t e in a year, but if we should there is n o t h i n g to be d o n e a b o u t i t . " So it was with Zelda.

SHE W R O T E J U S T b e f o r e her b r e a k d o w n that "success was the goal f o r this generation and to a startling e x t e n t t h e y have a t t a i n e d it, and now we venture to say t h a t , if intimately a p p r o a c h e d .

Sand Creek Massacre: I

by Bob Blanton

p e e o p d peuieu/ Editor's note: This week's WTAS record review is w r i t t e n by station manager Bud Thompson. He reviews Blessed Are...

by Joan Baez on Vanguard Records.

I s u p p o s e I c o u l d spend a lot of t i m e t a l k i n g a b o u t artistry when talking a b o u t J o a n Baez. But Blessed Are... isn't as m u c h artistic as it is n a t u r a l , and in m a n y w a y s t h a t ' s b e t t e r . What is n a t u r a l is real and what is real endures.

B L E S S E D A R E . . . is something n e w f o r J o a n . F o r starters, it's a d o u b l e a l b u m of 2 0 songs with a s u p p l e m e n t a r y 7 inch disc w i t h t w o m o r e songs. T h e c o m poser list is long, including Mick Jagger and K e i t h Richar d ( " S a l t Of T h e E a r t h " ) , Mickey N e w b u r y ( " S a n F r a n c i s c o Mabel J o y , " " A n geline," and "The 33rd of August"), Kris Kristofferson ( " H e l p Me Make It T h r o u g h T h e N i g h t " ) , a n d L e n n o n and McCartney ( " L e t It B e " ) .

O t h e r k n o w n songs by r a t h e r u n k n o w n c o m p o s e r s are " H e a v e n H e l p Us A l l , " " P u t Y o u r H a n d In T h e H a n d , " a n d , of course, " T h e Night T h e y Drove Old Dixie Down."

J O A N W R O T E nine of the s e l e c t i o n s herself. I o b j e c t t o only t w o of t h e 20 c u t s . O n e is " H e l p Me Make It T h r o u g h T h e N i g h t . " This version lacks t h e delicacy and b e a u t y of S a m m i S m i t h ' s version, t h o u g h I m u s t a d m i t it's b e t t e r than when 1 heard Kristofferson himself d o it h a l f - d r u n k in Central Park this s u m m e r .

T h e o t h e r c u t is " L e t It Be." N o r b e r t P u t n a m ( t h e arranger) has m a d e it c o u n t r y and w e s t e r n , t h u s r o b b i n g it of m a n y of the h y m n like qualities t h a t c a m e t h r o u g h in

t h e Beatles v e r s i o n . But as I listened t o t h e end of J o a n ' s version with h o r n s , c h o r u s and the like, I t h o u g h t t h a t m a y b e it was t i m e s o m e o n e realized t h a t " L e t It B e " is a song of great c e l e b r a t i o n . Why s h o u l d n ' t it s o u n d like celebrat i o n ? A n y w a y , it's f o l l o w e d on the a l b u m by o n e of the best versions of " P u t Y o u r Hand In T h e H a n d " t h a t I've heard.

W H A T IS M O S T i m p o r t a n t a b o u t this a l b u m is n o t the m u s i c as m u c h as t h e w o r d s . Joan Baez d o e s n ' t play with words. She says and sings w h a t she feels, w h a t is n a t u r a l . This may result in t h e changing of w o r d s in songs. N o t great changes, j u s t s u b s t i t u t i o n s t h a t m o r e o f t e n t h a n not e n h a n c e the m e a n i n g of t h e song.

T h e r e is a q u o t e on the inside of t h e a l b u m cover t h a t reads: " T h e differences between the w o r d s o n t h e r e c o r d and t h e w o r d s in t h e t e x t are either intentional or otherwise." The difference t h a t h o l d s t h e greatest impact o c c u r s in " T h e Night T h e y Drove Old Dixie D o w n . " T H E O R I G I N A L line reads. " I swear by the m u d below m y f e e t . . . . " J o a n has changed it t o "I swear by t h e b l o o d below m y f e e t . . . , " t h u s conveying in a single word t h e m o s t devastating aspect of t h e " d e a t h " of t h e South.

J o a n Baez has s p o k e n o u t on a lot of things and a lot of p e o p l e d o n ' t like w h a t she's said. T h e y , in t u r n , d o n ' t like her music. T h a t is n o m o r e t h a n n a r r o w m i n d e d ness.

But J o a n accepts this. " . . . If y o u give a d a m n y o u ' r e going t o pay s o m e d u e s . " ( F r o m " F i f t e e n M o n t h s " by Joan Baez.)

E n o u g h said.

nine in ten w o u l d c o n f e s s t h a t success is only a d e c o r a t i o n t h e y wished to w e a r ; w h a t t h e y really w a n t e d is s o m e t h i n g deeper and richer t h a n t h a t . " She moved f u r t h e r and f u r t h e r away f r o m reality, and even t h o u g h she was considered improved enough t o r e t u r n to Montg o m e r y t o live with her m o t h e r after Scott's death (the fourth section of the book-"Going H o m e " ) , she never a d j u s t e d to her q u i e t e r , less d r a m a t i c life. She died in a fire in an insane as yl u m .

Z E L D A IS i n f o r m a t i v e , enlightening and e m o t i o n a l l y moving. As a sidelight to F i t z g e r a l d ' s w o r k , it is a valuable b o o k , ind e e d . However, t o u n d e r s t a n d the passions and t h e d i s i l l u s i o n m e n t s of the Jazz Age, it would be m o r e rewarding to read F i t z g e r a l d ' s novels.

Nancy Milford would be t h e first to a d m i t t h a t Zelda is a s o u r c e b o o k f o r an era that Fitzgerald's novels p o r t r a y . J o h n Peale Bishop described the writers of that era by saying, " M o r a l l y , they were, perhaps, the last r o m a n t i c s , and it may be that t h e worst e n e m y the r o m a n t i c has to fear is time. Or it may be t h a t , like the earlier R o m a n t i c s , they did not k n o w enough. But at least t h e y knew their own p r e d i c a m e n t . "

C h r i s t o p h e r C o l u m b u s , lost or s t u p i d or b o t h , called the inhabit a n t s of the New World which he " d i s c o v e r e d " " I n d i a n s , " and we have been s t u c k with this t e r m i n o logy ever since. ( H o w o n e can discover land which is already i n h a b i t e d is still left to q u e s t i o n . ) With the c o m i n g of C o l u m b u s , and all t h e o t h e r e x p l o r e r s , the n i g h t m a r e began f o r the I n d i a n s of t h i s c o u n t r y and by n o s t r e t c h of t h e i m a g i n a t i o n has it e n d e d .

H A V I N G H A D T H E I R lands " d i s c o v e r e d " negated the rights of the I n d i a n tribes t o sovereignty and e q u a l i t y . The white E u r o p e a n n a t i o n s t h a t claimed to have discovered a piece of land decided t h e y had a right to t h a t land regardless of the people living t h e r e at the time.

T h i s was clearly t h e d o c t r i n e of the Western world which was applied t o t h e New World and endorsed as t h e will of G o d by the Christian c h u r c h e s of western Europe.

VINE DELORIA, JR., former e x e c u t i v e d i r e c t o r of t h e N a t i o n a l C o u n c i l of American I n d i a n s , w r o t e : " C h r i s t i a n i t y e n d o r s e d and a d v o c a t e d t h e rape of t h e N o r t h A m e r i c a n c o n t i n e n t , and her rep r e s e n t a t i v e s have d o n e t h e i r utm o s t t o c o n t r i b u t e t o this process ever s i n c e .

IN J U N E , i 8 6 4 . Gov. Evans of C o l o r a d o s e n t out a circular to the I n d i a n s of t h e plains, inviting all f r i e n d l y I n d i a n s t o c o m e i n t o the n e i g h b o r h o o d of t h e f o r t s , and be p r o t e c t e d by the United S t a t e s troops.

Several hundred Cheyennes c a m e and settled d o w n near F o r t L y o n . A f t e r a t i m e t h e y were r e q u e s t e d to m o v e to Sand Creek, 4 0 miles f r o m t h e F o r t , where t h e y were still g u a r a n t e e d " p e r fect s a f e t y " and the p r o t e c t i o n of the g o v e r n m e n t .

continued from page I A R E A I N D U S T R Y , personnel and management groups, organized labor and minority agencies were represented in the emp l o y m e n t task group. A major need evolved in this group's discussion was the education of b o t h employer and potential e m p l o y e e against discrimination.

To effe ct this change the g r o u p proposed a program of "Awareness Training" for employers. Administered through the C h a m b e r of C o m m e r c e and the Industrial Manager's Association, this program would show employers the many benefits of hiring the handicapped and m e m b e r s of minority groups. In addition to this program, the m e m b e r s proposed a review board to study various industry j o b application forms in an effort to discover discriminatory practices.

The team received the second place t r o p h y for overall perf o r m a n c e a f t e r winning five of six debates. The University of Michigan was the first place winner.

The negative team claimed a first place t r o p h y by winning three matches. Members of the team were s o p h o m o r e s Paul Bach and Joan Lautenschleger.

T h e affirmative team of sophomores Chad Busk and Paul Christenson won two of three debates.

The debate squad was accompanied by Harold Mikle, director of forensics.

T H E COMMITTEE expressed concern that all local jobs b e c o m e open to any qualified individual through the posting of unoccupied positions by both the city and business.

In an e f f o r t to educate t e n a n t s and landlords on their rights as well as responsibilities, the housing task group proposed the compilation of a booklet to be written under the joint sponsorship of the Department of Environmental Health and the HHRC. Containing guildelines for conduct under the city codes and state laws, this booklet would be supplied by canvasses and real estate agencies and would be given with all leases.

OTHER recommendations made by the group include a city ordinance requiring landlords to register. This would facilitate the compilation of a Housing Bureau resource file which would aid officials in determining legal infractions by landlords.

Much of the discussion of the education task force explored the relationship between the schools and the parents of children in minority groups. In order to establish better "direct interpersonal c o m m u n i c a t i o n " between parents and schools, the group prescribed the acquisition of Chicano liasons t o provide new avenues of c o m m u n i c a t i o n between the institutions and the parents.

In an effort to heighten c o m munity sensitivity to the special p r o b l e m s of minority group children, the group called for the initiation of a series of seminars involving the entire Holland teaching staff. Funded by the Board of E d u c a t i o n , these e f f o r t s would make use of members of the minority c o m m u n i t y to expose the teachers to the Chicano culture.

A SCHOOL lunches task g r o u p , composed of representatives of church groups, minority agencies and school officials, met t o d e t e r m i n e the needs and priorities for effecting a county-wide lunch program.

The group showed that a c o u n t y lunch program was feasible, and that at a t a x p a y e r cost of 26c for non-paying s t u d e n t s and

42c a meal for those able to pay, the county could provide needy children with at least one hot meal a day.

T H E G R O U P called for a steering c o m m i t t e e t o be f o r m e d to approach officials with the proposal. Under the plan, school officials would c o n t r a c t private enterprises to cater f o o d t o area schools. The group worked to show that no u n d u e burden would be placed on teachers or administrative personnel.

T h e HHRC seeks t o help resolve c o m m u n i t y racial disputes and a t t e m p t s t o check discrimination in the Holland area. The group is also i n s t r u m e n t a l in proposing c o m m u n i t y action regarding all phases of interracial relations.

Van Voorst: Hope's 'Newsweek' reporter

By Bob Roos A small p o r t i o n of H o p e ' s c o m m u n i t y was treated t o a provacative glimpse of European political d e v e l o p m e n t s recently when H o p e a l u m n u s Bruce Van Voorst, Newsweek's bureau chief in West Germ a n y , took time off f r o m a t w o and a half week lecture t o u r t o spend some time in his h o m e t o w n of Holland.

V A N V O O R S T spoke t o a g r o u p of s t u d e n t s and faculty at Marigold Lodge and also talked with a few Hopeites personally during his visit.

His speaking tour involved lectures at several campuses, particip a t i o n in television discussions and talk shows, and speeches t o businessmen's groups in various cities.

A 1954 Hope graduate, Van Voorst is a six-year veteran in his post as West G e r m a n correspond e n t for Newsweek.

He has covered a lion's share of the m a j o r political developments in E u r o p e since 1965.

R E C E N T L Y , these developm e n t s have included West G e r m a n

i

i

Chancellor Willy Brandt's search for d e t e n t e with the c o m m u n i s t bloc, the progress of the Strategic A i m s Limitation Talks ( S A L T ) in Helsinki, the NATO defense stance in E u r o p e , including the d e b a t e over the role of the 1 8 0 , 0 0 0 American t r o o p s in West G e r m a n y , and the quest for European unification represented by the possible expansion of the European Economic Community ( C o m m o n Market).

A deep personal concern over the ignorance regarding E u r o p e a n affairs and the growing signs of isolationism shown by Americans in general, and s t u d e n t s in particular, was one of the principal results of Van Voorst's recent experiences. He sees the present U.S. policy in Europe as a partial reflection of these attitudes.

VAN V O O R S T feels that the U.S. essentially " d o e s not have a E u r o p e a n p o l i c y . " U.S. policy in E u r o p e is marked by indecisiveness and generally lacks dedication t o any comprehensive goals, he indicated. T h e result, he said, is that " E u r o p e a n s feel n e g l e c t e d " by the U.S. and the chances for eventual Soviet d o m i n a t i o n of western as well as eastern E u r o p e are increased.

T h e desire of Americans t o avoid an active international role is largely a result of the Vietnam experience. Van Voorst believes. " T h e r e is real danger in an emotional reaction against the involvem e n t in I n d o c h i n a - w e s h o u l d n ' t

draw parallels between Vietnam and E u r o p e , " he said.

ONE M A N I F E S T A T I O N of the growth of isolationist attitudes is t h e c u r r e n t d e b a t e over the presence of the 1 8 0 , 0 0 0 American t r o o p s in West G e r m a n y , Van Voorst said. Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield has introduced a measure which would require that the t r o o p s be brought home.

The American t r o o p presence in West G e r m a n y is one issue that presents a slight contrast t o Americans' general ignorance and apathy regarding E u r o p e a n affairs.

Van Voorst indicated. He said that during the television discussions in which he recently participated, the m o d e r a t o r s , w h o generally " d i d n ' t have any idea what they wanted t o a s k , " were usually interested in talking a b o u t the troops in G e r m a n y .

HE WENT ON to say that if a poll on the issue of the t r o o p presence in E u r o p e were conducted in the U.S., the results would favor withdrawal.

Van Voorst n a m e d several reasons why he believes such a move

would be a mistake. The principal one is that "unilateral withdrawal would leave the G e r m a n s exposed.

They would be forced to look to their own d e f e n s e , " he said. This would damage the credibility of NATO's " f l e x i b l e r e s p o n s e " deterrent, he indicated.

HE SAID ALSO that a m a j o r purpose served by the American t r o o p presence is " t o keep West Germany b o u n d in a friendly allia n c e . " If the t r o o p s were withdrawn, the G e r m a n s would be forced to build up large forces of their own, and this would strain the present c o o p e r a t i o n between West G e r m a n y and France, he asserted.

Van Voorst answered the argument that keeping t r o o p s abroad drains the U.S. e c o n o m y by explaining that West G e r m a n y has " o f f s e t a g r e e m e n t s " with the U.S.

VAN V O O R S T indicated that the need for a vigorous American policy in E u r o p e is underlined by the volatility of the present situation. However, he said that Americans' relative unconcern with E u r o p e a n problems is reflected by Nixon's new economic policy, which is adding to the difficulties in Europe.

He explained: " I t ' s not that Europeans don't know the squeeze is on here, and it's not that they complain about the objectives of t h e Connally program, but the new policy is coming at a time when every c o u n t r y is experiencing a marked decline in economic g r o w t h . " T H E TEN P E R C E N T surcharge on i m p o r t s is having very h a r m f u l effects on G e r m a n industry in particular, Van Voorst said. He estimates that C o m m o n Market e x p o r t s to the U.S. will drop in the long run by one-third as a result of the surcharge.

In spite of all the problems now o c c u p y i n g European leaders.

Van Voorst indicated that one very positive development is in the making. Negotiations for a definitive agreement on access to and f r o m West Berlin are now going on. If an agreement is successfully worked out, it will open

NEWSWEEK C O R R E S P O N D E N T BRUCE VAN V O O R S T the way for more significant steps e n o n - a logical a c c o m p a n i m e n t to toward east-west d e t e n t e , he said. the a t m o s p h e r e of introspection " A L M O S T O U T of h a n d " is that has prevailed on U.S. camthe phrase Van Voorst used to puses for the past y e a r - o r describe the present pace of whether s t u d e n t s have long been events in Europe. As a result, he is relatively oblivious. Van Voorst concerned about the fact that in couldn't judge. the course of his t o u r he has been He did indicate, however, that "able to d o c u m e n t " for himself the "level of i g n o r a n c e " in the the existence of isolationist atti- U.S. presently is about equal to tudes in the U.S. He mentioned a that at the time of his last visit in recent poll in which Americans 1969. indicated that they were willing to defend " o n l y the U.S. and Canada."

The dearth of knowledge in the U.S. regarding international affairs also disturbed Van Voorst during his tour. S t u d e n t s in particular "really d o n ' t k n o w m u c h , " he The Ministry of Christ's People said.

T H E COST O F maintaining the troops in G e r m a n y is lower than would be the case if they were stationed in the States, Van Voorst went on.

He added that the t r o o p s play an i m p o r t a n t psychological role in that they serve as " t h e living-color evidence of our c o m m i t m e n t " to preserve the a u t o n o m y of Western Europe.

These include a weakening of NATO through the loss of naval bases in N o r t h Africa and Malta, the Arab-Israeli conflict, and the e x t r e m e instability of the Italian economy.

Adrian frustrates Hope 15-13 in statistical defeat

T H E LOSS G A V E the Bulldogs an undeserved tie with Alma for the c o n f e r e n c e c h a m p i o n s h i p , and the D u t c h a tie for third place.

The loss also made it impossible for H o p e to finish above . 5 0 0 for the season.

Booters finish s e a s o n 7-6; beat K a l a m a z o o 1-0

T h e Dutch statistically dominated the game for the sixth t i m e this season. Hope had an unspectacular 2 9 8 yards total o f f e n s e and 16 first d o w n s . However, these figures are e x c e p t i o n a l when c o m p a r e d to Adrian's 57 y a r d s total o f f e n s e and three first d o w n s . Despite the d i s c r e p a n c y , the Bulldogs won, 15-13.

T H E D E F E N S E played their best g a m e of the season in limiting their o p p o n e n t for u n d e r 100 yards for the third time. Also, they did not give u p one pass c o m p l e t i o n , while turning in one interception.

- B e r t r a n d Russell, A I'ree Man's Worship

Russell-the-man and Russellt h e - t h i n k e r are in a paradoxical relation. Russell-the-man hopes, he values, he desires for what is " b e s t " in h u m a n life. Russell-thet h i n k e r is virtually certain that everything about the universe m o c k s h u m a n life.

T H E DUST O F the universe has p r o d u c e d an absurd and accidental freak. It has p r o d u c e d an animal w h o longs f o r s o m e sort of "purpose," "meaning," "worth" and " v a l u e " in the midst of a universe which m a k e s such words so m u c h e m o t i v e gibberish. It has p r o d u c e d an animal w h o strives for values in a universe, not merely benignly i n d i f f e r e n t , but brutely hostile to those values. It has p r o d u c e d an e n t i t y of flesh and b l o o d , feeling and f r e e d o m in a universe of i n e x o r a b l e determ i n i s m , rock, fire and e m p t i n e s s .

Russell, as a m a n , does not o b f u s c a t e the f a c t s that the t h i n k er in him c o n f r o n t s him with. He does not seek s o m e hidden purpose and wisdom behind the b r u t e universe that science p u t s b e f o r e h i m . He only asks that a p p r e h e n sion of the meaninglessness of this b r u t e universe be the f u r n a c e , in which the crucible of the h u m a n heart and imagination may refine its h o p e s , values and aspirations.

R U S S E L L IS h o n e s t , and he is a mirror. He reflects the p a r a d o x and dilemma of 2 0 t h C e n t u r y man, with more clarity than most men can bear to see.

Russell reflects the d o m i n a n t , a l t h o u g h half-conscious, worldview of our age. T h e guiding, m o l d i n g power of an u n d e r l y i n g world-view, 1 t h i n k , is a w e s o m e .

Its r a m i f i c a t i o n s on o u r a t t i t u d e s and practical c o m m i t m e n t s are momentous.

O N E R A M I F I C A T I O N I have stated in my last essay: it renders pointless the c o m m i t m e n t to use our heads, to discover and articulate not merely that we are c o m m i t e d , but what we are c o m m i t e d to, and why. T h e most we can e x p e c t f r o m such a c o m m i t m e n t is a clearer vision of our ultim a t e l y absurd h u m a n s i t u a t i o n , and the arbitrariness of all of o u r c o m m i t m e n t s . But this ramification has a terrifying corollary.

T h i s world-view m a k e s t r u t h powerless. In fact, it makes t r u t h paralyzing; t r u t h b e c o m e s o u r e n e m y . T r u t h m a k e s us i m p o t e n t ; our c o m m i t m e n t s must be m a d e in spite of t r u t h , not because of truth.

T H E Q U A K E R S , r o o t e d in a world-view q u i t e the a n t i t h e s i s of Russell's, have an idealistic b o o k let called "Speak Truth to P o w e r . " T o the m o d e r n ment a l i t y , this book and its title m u s t , logically, be the height of folly.

The b o o k of the m o d e r n m e n tality, if it is irue to its premises,

THE

MINISTRY OF

CHRIST'S

P E O P L E

must be titled " S p e a k P o w e r to T r u t h , " " S p e a k P o w e r to P o w e r , " and finally " S p e a k P o w e r to Reality."

In t h e face of t h e fact t h a t men have c o n f l i c t i n g " i d e a l s " f o r mank i n d , and in view of the premise that these ideals are u l t i m a t e l y arbitrary personal c o m m i t m e n t s , h o w must an i d e a l - c o m m i t t e d g r o u p seek t o actualize its ideals?

There is but one general way: by manipulation.

O u r d a y , true to its premises, is seeing the use of manipulative t e c h n i q u e s , and t h e fear and suspicion of m a n i p u l a t i o n to a terrifying degree. We can see this vividly, as close to us as last week's anchor.

R E A D A G A I N the f r o n t page essay on the " F B I P l o t . " If it is t r u e , it is a d e m o n i c a t t e m p t by the E s t a b l i s h m e n t to m a n i p u l a t e facts, to " s p e a k p o w e r to r e a l i t y . " If it is false, it is just as d e m o n i c an a t t e m p t by the Left to manipulate t r u t h . The same d i l e m m a emerges f r o m reading Neal Freedm a n ' s essay on t h e admission of Red China i n t o t h e U.N. If Neal is right, every word and act of national politics is a p o w e r - g a m e : an ego-tripping m a n i p u l a t i o n of f a c t , of t r u t h , of m a n . If Neal is w r o n g , he is not merely m i s t a k e n ; he is m a n i p u l a t i n g t r u t h in a way that is as d e m o n i c as it is frightened and a n g r y .

Can this s i t u a t i o n ever be healed, w i t h o u t an alternative f o u n d a t i o n , w i t h o u t solid g r o u n d to s t a n d u p o n ? I d o not think so.

Without this, we may tenaciously fight for w h a t we believe in, we may courageously wrestle with p o w e r s of evil. But we will be wrestling in q u i c k s a n d . We m a y , by strength and cleverness, c o m e out on t o p and see o u r e n e m y go u n d e r first.

But we will be sucked t o the same d e a t h .

A d r i a n ' s winning t o u c h d o w n in the second half was partly caused by the wind. D o u g S m i t h p u n t e d a high kick out of his own end zone i n t o the wind, only to see this stiff wind blow the b o u n d i n g ball back t o w a r d the end zone.

Harriers beat Adrian; prepare for MIAA meet The H o p e College cross c o u n try team out-classed Adrian 18 to 42 in action at the Winding Creek Golf Course S a t u r d a y . T h e victory gives Hope a perfect 6-0 record in the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association.

The D u t c h swept the first three places in t h e c o m p e t i t i o n to insure the win. Gregg Daniels, Hope's p r e m i e r r u n n e r , again t o o k first place with a fine t i m e of 2 1 : 1 7 . Daniels holds the record for the Winding Creek course at 2 0 : 4 9 , but his time in S a t u r d a y ' s match was still impressive because of the high winds.

Phil Ceely ran with Daniels for most of the race and finished just f o u r s e c o n d s behind him at 2 1 : 2 1 .

R a n d y Lawrence finished third.

Glen Powers f i f t h , Marty Stark seventh, Nick C r a m e r eighth, Ron B u l t e m a n i n t h , Bob Scott 14th and Jim Maciejko 17th.

Harrier team spirit is high and so are the t e a m ' s h o p e s for a first place finish in the MIAA meet at Alma this W e d n e s d a y , according to team captain Bob Scott. An MIAA victory would give Hope ts first o u t r i g h t victory ever, and an end t o a very g r a t i f y i n g year.
