The college last week officially stated its policies concerning the legal status of students after Jan. 1, when Michigan's age of majority becomes 18.

IN A THREE page memorandum from Dean of Students Robert DeYoung, the college said it "realizes the high degree of in terest that parents hold for a son or daughter who is enrolled in college."

The m e m o r a n d u m stated, "In addition to financial support, parental interest includes a deep concern for the total growth of the student and his normal progress through college."

THE POLICY report stales that the college will communicate with parents "when deemed desirable" concerning discontinuation ol enrollment, medical and psychiatric information, the imminence of suspension or expulsion, academic probation, and the absence of a student from campus when " t h e r e is reason to be concerned for his personal well-being as a result of the fact that his or her whereabouts are u n k n o w n . " In addition, grade reports will continue to be sent home unless exceptions are approved by the registrar. The policies that concern alcoholic beverages, confidentiality of counseling, transcripts and on-campus residence requirements remain unchanged.

THE MEMORANDUM does note that all women students will

be permitted to participate in the new key program without parental permission beginning in the spring semester.

De Young stressed in an interview that the policy statement changes few of the existing policies. He said that the statement was prepared for informational purposes.

"OUR LAWYERS told us that as long as each student was aware of the regulations, the policies could be enforced on campus," DeYoung said.

He said the memorandum would be sent to the parents of all students, but that there are no plans to distribute copies to each stu dent.

I he report was based on a legal opinion secured by Albion College for Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association schools, De Young said. The Ml A A colleges requested the opinion early in October.

New

editor

'Milestone'

changes

The Student Communications Media Committee has selected sophomore Leslie Dykstra to be editor of the 1972 edition of the Milestone and has begun discussing possible changes in the yearbook's format in an effort to increase student interest.

SCMC chairman Dr. Richard Vandervelde said in an interview that he would like to sound out the actual interest in the Milestone as a publication to deter-

CLB alters key regulations further The Campus Life Board voted Wednesday to allow women on academic probation to retain the key privilege. Until now women on academic probation were not permitted to sign out keys.

THE PROPOSAL was introduced by Nona Kipp, associate dean of students. Miss Kipp stated, "It is inappropriate for us to link academic performance and key privilege together."

Study time and motivation cannot be legislated, she said. Miss Kipp added that some coeds are unable to study in the dorm and that the loss of key privilege would only add to their problem.

DEAN OF STUDENTS Robert DeYoung agreed with Miss Kipp, stating that it did nothing for the girl to make her stay in. He also said he was concerned that a double standard existed under the old regulation, since men on academic probation were not restricted to their dormitories at night.

Dr. Elizabeth Reedy, CLB chairman, was disturbed that the regulation seemed 44 to drive a final wedge" between a student's extra-curricular and classroom life.

She said, "I'm not sure the two are or even ought to be separate."

THE BOARD also agreed that in view of their decision last week to give keys to all women, it was no longer necessary to have different categories of permission for Hope women.

These categories were designated as general, limited and specific permission. They required parental signature and determined the a m o u n t of liberty the student was allowed when leaving campus overnight. Miss Kipp felt this restriction was now meaningless.

THE BOARD also discussed dorm security since all women will have the key privilege next fall. Dean Kipp said that no more keys would be out than there had been last spring when key permission was extended to second semester freshmen. She added that a few keys have been lost, and that Hope's security personnel have refused to replace the locks on the dorms involved.

Bob Schellenberg asked if it were possible to have w o m e n ' s residences open an extra hour.

N AN NETTE Olmsted said she had been talking with some head residents about this idea. She said that opening the dorms for an extra hour had some merit as the head residents reported that many keys were returned by 12. Miss Olmsted said she is planning a

study in conjunction with the sociology department which would include this question with others on the present parietal system.

She said, "I am interested in getting student opinion on a variety of housing questions and investigating the possibilities for changing some of the present system." The study will be done in January.

DEAN DEYOUNG indicated that a study of the entire resi-

The cost of producing the book could be reduced by cutting down the size or the number of pages, Vandervelde said. Another alternative, he continued, would be to publish the yearbook as three soft-bound portfolios, one for the fall, one for winter and one for spring. Vandervelde said that the c o m m i t t e e also plans to consider the possibility of a senior-picture-only book.

Miss Dykstra said that the 1972 edition has a tentative theme, but she added that until Jan. 8 the staff will be accepting suggestions for a more studentoriented book. The new Milestone will experiment with more color pictures and many more candid shots, she continued. "We will try to do away with the standard 'mug' shots of students and facult y , " she said.

Miss Dykstra also indicated that her staff "will try to cover the campus events more fully, and experiment with a new style of writeup." She stated that her staff has increased from two to 17 since she was named editor.

Marijan Kockovic: evangelist of the value of art

by Wayne Powell Whether one speaks with him in Serbo-Croatian or in English, the impression is the same: art is his life. ^

ON HOPE'S s u m m e r program in Cavtat-Dubrovnik, in which he will participate: He envisions as its main goal the teaching and f a m iliarizing of s t u d e n t s with art.

On Hope College: He c o m p a r e s it favorably with other campuses he has visited and admires the seriousness of the s t u d e n t s and the "just made for s t u d i e s " atmosphere. He announces that he has presented the college with one of his sculptures and will c o n t i n u e t o gift us with a new creation every year.

DURING HIS visit here, Kockovic exhibited several of his works, delivered a lecture on Yugoslav art and showed a film of his work in his h o m e t o w n of Dubrovnik.

An independent artist by profession, Kockovic operates both an art studio and his own art gallery. called, appropriately enough, "Gallery Marijan." He has been a resident of Dubrovnik since I 966.

TALK TO Marijan Kockovic, Yugoslav sculptor and recent guest of the college, on nearly any subject, and references t o art permeate his conversation.

On Yugoslav art: He observes that a trend is developing toward sculpture rather than painting, and adds that this is the result of an art market comprised primarily of organizations rather than individuals.

ON SCULPTURE: lie compares it with music and sees it as a lasting creation. Music, he says, lasts for the moment and will never be repeated in quite the same way.

On American young people: He c o m m e n t s that they do not receive enough exposure to art as a significant facet of culture.

College gets authorization for science

center

Hope College last week received authorization from the federal government to enter into contracts for the proposed Academic Science Center, according to Executive Vice President Clarence Handlogten.

The authorization came with a written c o m m i t m e n t from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare to loan Hope up to $2 million at three percent interest. Hope will have 4 0 years t o repay the loan.

Other funding for the proposed $4 million science center includes a $1 million HEW grant and a $ 5 0 0 , 0 0 0 matching grant f r o m the Kresge F o u n d a t i o n . Since the college received the Kresge grant

contracts

in May 1970, it has obtained pledges for the matching $500,000.

Hope originally applied for the HEW loan and grant in the s u m m e r of 1966, Handlogten stated. Approval of the grant c a m e in April 1967. A m o n t h later the college was notified that it had been awarded the loan.

During the next four years the college had t o reapply for several loan extensions because lack of funds forced p o s t p o n e m e n t of construction.

T h e science center was originally part of H o p e ' s centennial tenyear master plan, drawn up in 1966. The building was to have been constructed in the fall of 1968.

With its magnificent Mediterranean climate, the city allows Kockovic t o work in an artistic environment inspired by a tradition of humanism.

A native of Zagreb in the republic of Croatia, the artistsculptor began his career there.

Following his graduation in 1953 from the Academy of Fine Arts in Ljubljana, Kockovic lived and worked in Sarajevo as a professor of art and as an independent artist.

Kockovic has conducted study tours on two continents, has won the acclaim of international critics and has created sculptures which are displayed in m o d e r n art galleries and private art collections all over the world.

No 9th St. changes likely

by Bob Roos Hope students and other Holland residents bothered by heavy traffic on 9th St. have little chance of relief as a result of state regulations which now govern 9th Street's status, according to Assistant City Manager Terry I l o f m e y er.

H O F M E Y E R explained that the one-way sections of 9 t h and 7th Streets have become " s t a t e trunk lines." He said that the state highway d e p a r t m e n t , which had been pushing for the new traffic arrangement for years, "has taken over 7th and 9th Streets as part of their trunk line system, while surrendering 8th S t . " The i n c o r p o r a t i o n of a street into the trunk line system involves a contract between the city and the state highway d e p a r t m e n t , H o f m e y e r said. The city agrees to

An out-of-court settlement of the dispute between Mrs. Marguerite Pollock and Hope College is expected to be finalized this week, killing the possibility that legal obstacles could p o s t p o n e construction of the Academic Science Center.

ACCORDING TO the attorneys for both parties, an agreement for the college to purchase Mrs. Pollock's property at 46 E. Graves PI. has been formulated and copies have been sent to the college and Mrs. Pollock and her two sons, part-owners of the lot.

Robert Gillette, a t t o r n e y for Mrs. Pollock, stated that he has received "oral c o m m i t m e n t s from my clients to the a g r e e m e n t . " Gillette said the logistics of getting signatures on the buy-sell agreement was the only thing delaying a final settlement. He noted that one of Mrs. Pollock's sons lives in Ann Arbor and that a binding settlement probably wouldn't be achieved until the end of the week because of mailing time.

THE COLLEGE'S lawyer, James T o w n s e n d , agreed that se-

BECAUSE T H E state now largely controls 9th and 7th Streets, it would be difficult for the Holland City Council to return them to two-way status or even to establish regulations which would reduce noise or truck traffic, H o f m e y e r indicated.

He said that the city manager's office had, as a result of complaints f r o m residents, asked the state w h e t h e r it could prohibit truck traffic on 9th St. An official answer has not yet been received, he said, but the office has been told unofficially that it could make no such regulation.

If the purchase is finalized, Mrs. Pollock's suit against Hope College would be withdrawn for lack of cause. She had filed suit Sept. 7 in Ottawa County Circuit Court, charging the college and the Holland Zoning Appeals Board with violation of the city zoning ordinance in granting a variance t o Hope for construction of the science center.

THE SUIT includes the charge that construction of the science center under existing plans would violate side and rear yard setback regulations.

works for 9th St. Regulations governing traffic at the corner of 9th and Columbia will probably be altered so that traffic in the two right lanes will be required t o stop before turning right or proceeding straight ahead. Traffic in the left lanes will not have to stop but will be required t o turn left on to Columbia Ave. H o f m e y e r said that the proposal, which had been conceived in response to the fact that school children use the intersection, had been discussed by the city manager's o f f i c e and the state highway d e p a r t m e n t . It will be presented to the city council Wednesday evening.

T H E CITY manager's office has received some complaints about the one-way street system, H o f m e y e r said, but he added, "1 suspect that individual councilmen have been getting more complaints than we have." He mentioned a petition which was presented to the council Nov. 17.

The document, signed by about 3 0 0 persons, including some Hopeites, protested truck traffic and noise on 9th St. A C C I D E N T statistics concerning the one-way street system constitute an interesting f o o t n o t e to residents' complaints about high speed and t r a f f i c noise. Since the system was introduced in October, there have been nine accidents at the 9th and Columbia intersection, c o m p a r e d with only one during the period from January to O c t o b e r , according to the Holland Police Dept.

F o r the intersection at 9th and College, the figures are five mishaps since O c t o b e r versus one in the preceding nine and one-half m o n t h s . The i n t r o d u c t i o n of the one-way system has so far been responsible for 50 accidents, a police spokesman said.

Rider proposes Philly semester for faculty

by Dave DeKok Dean for Academic Affairs Morrette Rider has proposed a s u m m e r seminar in urban affairs for faculty members. The program would be held in Philadelphia.

T H E SEMINAR was conceived

by Dr. Robert DeHaan, director of the Philadelphia Urban Semester program. T w e n t y - f o u r faculty members f r o m three or f o u r colleges would be involved in the seminar, according t o Rider.

The faculty members would observe first hand some of Philadelphia's problems, such as crime, poverty, and narcotics. According to Rider, the faculty members would c o m m u n i c a t e their observations of the Philadelphia seminar to classes at their respective colleges in the fall.

RIDER STRESSED that, "What happens in the c o u n t r y ' s urban areas a f f e c t s each and every one of us, directly or indirectly, and we can't afford t o sit back and d o n o t h i n g . "

T h e n e x t step in developing the urban seminar will be t o find two or three o t h e r colleges to participate with Hope in the program, according t o Rider. T h e n foundation f u n d i n g will have to be obtained, the dean said.

IN A S U R V E Y taken by the Academic Affairs Office, 13 Hope faculty m e m b e r s responded that they were interested in participating in t h e program. Twenty-six faculty m e m b e r s stated that they were not sure at this time whether they wished to participate in the program but were interested.

T w e n t y - f o u r faculty indicated that t h e y were interested but would not be able t o participate this s u m m e r . T w e n t y - t w o o t h e r s expressed s u p p o r t for the program but did not wish t o participate, and f o u r faculty m e m b e r s were against the program.

Rider a d d e d that he is optimistic a b o u t finding o t h e r colleges to participate in the program but that if this search is unsuccessful Hope would " g o it a l o n e . "

College forced to play parental role for independent students

by Mary Houting The financially independent student who requires financial assistance has b e c o m e a " t h o r n y p r o b l e m , " especially in the last several years, according to Bruce Himebaugh, director of financial aid.

HIMEBAUGH pointed out that the financially independent student, although independent of parents, is usually very dependent on the college for financial support. " T h e student is not really accomplishing independence, since we assume a sort of in loco parentis role," he stated.

Contrary to what most students seem t o think, age and marital status do not determine a s t u d e n t ' s independence, Himebaugh said. He listed three factors his office uses t o determine a s t u d e n t ' s independent status: his place of residence, the source and a m o u n t of outside support he receives, and his tax e x e m p t i o n status.

"Also, a mere falling out with parents does not automatically confer a student with independent s t a t u s , " he remarked.

Sets four sessions

AdABplans summer calendar

by Gary Gray The Hope College S u m m e r School calendar, which provides for four academic sessions, was approved by the Administrative Affairs Board last M o n d a y .

IN A D D I T I O N A L action, the board discussed target dates for the compilation of the 1972 college catalog and dissolved the library c o m m i t t e e .

TTie s u m m e r school program approved by the A d A B will consist of t w o three-week sessions, a six-week session and an eightweek session. The first three-week session will begin J u n e 12 and end J u n e 30, and the second will begin July 5 and end July 21.

T H E SIX—WEEK session will run f r o m June 12 t o July 21, and the eight-week session, f o r students taking a foreign language, will c o m m e n c e June 12 and end August 4.

According t o Dr. Elliot Tanis, professor of m a t h e m a t i c s and chairman of t h e s u m m e r school s u b c o m m i t t e e , the t w o threeweek sessions will o f f e r s t u d e n t s an o p p o r t u n i t y for m o r e concentrated s t u d y , allowing t h e m to devote the remainder of t h e vacation t o a s u m m e r j o b .

TANIS ALSO explained that July 5 was chosen as a starting date for t h e second session because "it seemed useless t o require

students to report on Monday the 3rd with a holiday falling on Tuesday."

He added that s t u d e n t s would attend classes on Saturday to make up the class time.

THE BOARD also forwarded the s u b c o m m i t t e e ' s r e c o m m e n d a tions f o r summer school fees to the board of trustees. If approved, the tuition charge will be $45 per credit h o u r with a reduced charge of $25 per hour f o r those wishing t o audit a class.

Academic Affairs Board chairman Irwin Brink s u b m i t t e d t o the AdAB an AAB proposal that the board outline deadlines and procedures for t h e c o m p i l a t i o n of the 1972 catalog.

Executive Vice President Clarence Handlogten a n n o u n c e d Monday.

Since 1967, Wenke has served as director of Hope's f o u n d a t i o n , c o r p o r a t e and governmental relations program.

As director of development Wenke will assume primary responsibility for the college's f u n d raising e f f o r t s , including completion of a $ 1 0 million capital campaign which was started in 1966.

A native of Kalamazoo, Wenke received his B.A. f r o m Hope in 1960.

and advising procedures b e f o r e registration.

Brink linked past advising problems t o a lack of communication between advisors, the dean of s t u d e n t s office and the admissions office, which assigns s t u d e n t s to advisors.

AdAB CHAIRMAN Alvin Vanderbush suggested that the board set deadlines for the assigning of s t u d e n t s t o advisors. Rider suggested that t h e subject be deferred to the n e x t meeting when Assistant Dean f o r Academic Affairs Jack Stewart and Director of Financial Aid Bruce Himebaugh could be present.

In final action, the A d A b passed a proposal f r o m t h e AAB calling for the dissolution of the library c o m m i t t e e . Brink said the AAB felt that " t h e library committee is presently a 4 m a k e - w o r k ' c o m m i t t e e " and that it may be usurping s o m e of the responsibilities of t h e director of libraries.

Financial support f r o m parents which totals more than $200 also prevents a s t u d e n t from declaring independence. Finally, if his parents claim him as a tax e x e m p tion, a s t u d e n t is ineligible t o receive aid as financially independent.

A C C O R D I N G to Himebaugh, if these c o n d i t i o n s are met, he will consider the student financially i n d e p e n d e n t . "T h i s can occur at any age and regardless of marital status," he said.

Because the college has never based its interpretation of a student's i n d e p e n d e n c e on his age, it plans t o make no changes in its policy of financial aid once the new age of majority law takes effect in January, Himebaugh reported.

OUR G E N E R A L assumption will be the same as b e f o r e , " he stated. "We feel the primary responsibility for financing a student's education rests on the family, to which we are a supple-

m e n t . We can't a f f o r d t o ignore any resource," he added.

Himebaugh estimated that approximately 20 percent of students w h o receive assistance f r o m his office are considered financially i n d e p e n d e n t . Of these, nearly half get gift aid from the college.

A S T U D E N T would not receive gift aid immediately a f t e r proclaiming independence, however. "While we d o n ' t penalize a student for claiming independence, we don't make it to his distinct advantage t o do so, either," Himebaugh c o m m e n t e d .

"We expect a student t o contribute more in self-help."

Self-help consists of accepting more loan money and part-time e m p l o y m e n t . If a newly independent student shows he is willing t o accept added responsibility and is not simply looking for a h a n d o u t , Himebaugh said, " t h i s hits us differently. I personally have more s y m p a t h y for this type of student."

College sets up fund in Mrs. Palmer's memory A memorial award has been established in tribute to Mrs. Linda D. Palmer, assistant professor of French, who died Tuesday at Ionia County Memorial Hospital.

MRS. P A L M E R , 56, had been hospitalized since Nov. 8. Funeral services were held Friday in Dimnent Memorial Chapel with the Rev. Darwin Salisbury and Richard Pender officiating. Burial was in Pilgrim Home Cemetery.

MRS. LINDA PALMER

The Linda D. Palmer Award in French will be presented to the Hope student who has studied in a French speaking c o u n t r y and demonstrates the greatest promise of excellence in the teaching of French.

EXECUTIVE VICE President Clarence Handlogten said the fund for the award was established following the receipt of requests from friends, colleagues and students of the late Mrs. Palmer for such a memorial. Handlogten said c o n t r i b u t i o n s designated for the fund will be accepted at the business office.

Mrs. Palmer was a member of the Hope faculty for five years prior t o her death. Born in New York City, she was graduated f r o m Hunter College in 1935. She received her master's degree from Middlebury College's graduate School of French in France in 1966 and that same year was awarded a Diplome Superior d ' E t u d e s Francaises f r o m La Sorbonne.

SHE HAD R E C E N T L Y c o m pleted requirements for a doctorate in French at Michigan State University. While teaching at Hope, Mrs. Palmer was instrumental in involving Hope College in the foreign study program in Grenoble, France.

Ponders changes

AAB discusses curriculum The Academic Affairs Board Tuesday discussed a proposal which would allow freshmen and s o p h o m o r e s to take u p p e r level courses, and postponed discussion on the contract curriculum proposal and on revision of the general college requirements.

P R O F E S S O R of Philosphy D. Ivan Dykstra submitted the proposal t o open u p p e r level courses to freshmen and s o p h o m o r e s in certain cases.

The proposal states that freshmen and sophomores normally will still be restricted to courses n u m b e r e d under 50, but those " w h o s e records of academic perf o r m a n c e warrant the expectation of satisfactory performance in an upper level c o u r s e " may ask for permission from the instructor and f r o m the chairman of the department t o enroll in the course.

T H E P R O P O S A L includes a provision which would require incoming freshmen t o take a test to determine their reading and writing proficiency. Those with serious deficiencies would have to take remedial courses in reading and/or writing. Such courses would earn no academic credit.

After some discussion of Dykstra's proposal, the board passed a m o t i o n that Dykstra be invited to the n e x t meeting to

elaborate the rationale for the proposal.

THE B O A R D also passed a motion made by Dean for Academic Affairs Morrette Rider that no action be taken on Dykstra's proposal until it is evaluated by the c h a i r m e n ' s council, an unofficial advisory body composed of the 20 d e p a r t m e n t heads and the library director.

Some discussion was held on the contract curriculum proposal and the area curriculum revision report, b o t h presented t o the board by Rider. The contract curriculum proposal would make it possible for a student to undertake a year of intensive study in one area after he has attended Hope for two semesters.

THE R A T I O N A L E for the proposal states that, for some students, " c o n c e n t r a t e d studies in one academic area might be a better a p p r o a c h to the broadened awareness objective" than the usual p r o c e d u r e involving introductory courses in diverse areas during the first two years followed by greater specialization in the last two.

The proposal was recently forwarded t o the AAB after evaluation by t h e chairmen's council.

THE A R E A curriculum r e p o r t , a proposal which would m o d i f y the college's general requirements in broad areas such as social sci-

ence and natural science and alter the Introduction to Liberal Studies program, was submitted to the chairmen's council Nov. 24.

Tuesday's discussion centered around the question whether the board should deal with the contract curriculum proposal before it acts on the more general curriculum revision report.

NO DECISION was reached by the end of the meeting, so the board members decided to study the proposals individually and approach the problem again during their first meeting after Christmas.

THE C O N T R A C T curriculum and area curriculum concepts were originally incorporated in the report of the Ad Hoc C o m m i t tee on Revision of the General College Requirements. The ad hoc c o m m i t t e e ' s report first was presented to the Academic Affairs Board in April 1970.

LAST F A L L T H E AAB approved a revised version of the ad hoc c o m m i t t e e ' s plan for curriculum r e f o r m , only t o have the faculty c o m m i t t e e of the whole reject the plan and send it back to the AAB for f u r t h e r revision and clarification.

The board also passed a motion by Professor of Philosophy Arthur J e n t z that the Curriculum C o m m i t t e e set a date at the end of January for submission of curriculum proposals.

Hope College anchor

Nullified adulthood As of Jan. 1, 1 9 7 2 , the m a j o r i t y of s t u d e n t s will b e c o m e legal adults in the state of Michigan. A t Hope College, t h a t apparently means nothing.

In a m e m o r a n d u m f r o m the d e a n of students, the college states that it will c o m m u n i c a t e with p a r e n t s " w h e n d e e m e d d e s i r a b l e " concerning a variety of circumstances, m a n y of which a s t u d e n t might wish t o hold in c o n f i d e n c e . For e x a m p l e , a coed w h o b e c o m e s p r e g n a n t has no guarantee t h a t the college will not i n f o r m her

•

p a r e n t s of her c o n d i t i o n even t h o u g h she might n o t w a n t t h e m t o know. Likewise, the college could i n f o r m p a r e n t s " w h e n suspension..., due to the violation of established regulations, is i m m i n e n t . " It s o u n d s rather like a grade school principal w h o calls a b o y ' s m o t h e r to tell her of his n a u g h t y deeds.

G r a d e s will c o n t i n u e to be sent t o p a r e n t s unless a s t u d e n t is married or is declared financially i n d e p e n d e n t by his parents. N o t e that the college will not a c c e p t t h e signature of a legally adult s t u d e n t on a d o c u m e n t stating he is financially i n d e p e n d e n t , b u t it will a c c e p t the signature of his legally adult parents. Midsemester grades of f r e s h m e n and s t u d e n t s w h o have earned a grade point of D+ or less in any course for t h a t semester will also be

sent h o m e . E x c e p t i o n s t o the policy m u s t be approved by the registrar.

Clearly t h e emphasis is in the wrong place. A s t u d e n t s h o u l d have t h e right t o w i t h h o l d f r o m other a d u l t s whatever information a b o u t himself he wishes. If a s t u d e n t does not wish to have his grades sent h o m e , he merely should be able to request it. T h e college should not have the right to turn him d o w n . Instead, the college, if it feels his grades should be sent h o m e , should have only the responsibility to try to convince t h e s t u d e n t that such action is in his best interest.

Even if t h e college should never deny a s t u d e n t ' s request t o w i t h h o l d i n f o r m a t i o n , it is still d e n y i n g ' t h a t a s t u d e n t is a legal adult by reserving t h e right to c o m m u n i cate with p a r e n t s " w h e n d e e m e d desirable."

With the e n a c t m e n t of the lowered age of m a j o r i t y law, the stage is set b o t h legally and politically for the college to take a new look at t h e status of its s t u d e n t s . It has failed to d o so.

Perhaps the greatest irony in the situation is t h a t the d o c u m e n t f r o m the dean entitled "Age of M a j o r i t y " will be sent t o the p a r e n t s of all s t u d e n t s . It will not be d i s t r i b u t e d t o the s t u d e n t s themselves.

In the state of Michigan the policy of in loco parentis has been declared legally dead. Yet the college, in an a t t e m p t to be a sanctuary f r o m greater society, will continue blindly in the faith t h a t p a r e n t s are adults and s t u d e n t s are n o t .

Whaddaya say? w e d o it?

can s a t i r i z e .

C ' m o n , l e t ' s d o it.

I kinda hate to.

m e m b e r s o p p o s e d to liberalization of the academic program and t h o s e w h o fear t h a t an area c u r r i c u l u m program would mean less s t u d e n t s in their d e p a r t m e n t s .

Once already the A c a d e m i c Affairs Board has sent to the f a c u l t y a package curriculum p r o g r a m . T h a t was last fall. T h e faculty rejected the p r o g r a m and r e t u r n e d it to the board with a list of 12 r e c o m m e n dations. Most of the r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s involved clarification and a d d i t i o n of m o r e details. S o m e of these c o n c e r n e d the contract c u r r i c u l u m . In the revised c o n t r a c t curriculum proposal r e s u b m i t t e d by Dean for A c a d e m i c A f f a i r s M o r r e t t e Rider, the f a u l t s f o u n d by the f a c u l t y have been corrected.

With these c o r r e c t i o n s the o b j e c t i o n s f r o m the f a c u l t y should be m i n i m i z e d ; there should be little reason f o r a f a c u l t y veto. T h a t is, there should be little reason if the f a c u l t y is considering only the c o n t r a c t c u r r i c u l u m proposal. H o p e f u l l y , they will be.

Plea for liberalization c o m e h e r e , taking and paying for t h e courses we w a n t w o u l d m a k e t h e m m o r e significant. Doing a w a y with m a n y or all of t h e present r e q u i r e m e n t s would also allow a s t u d e n t t o b e c o m e p r o f i c i e n t in m o r e t h a n just o n e field - or m o r e p r o f i c i e n t in the one f i e l d . He could m a j o r in t w o or three areas, or m i n o r in several. By providing f o r c o n t r a c t courses, t h e college could help t o m a k e up f o r its lack of courses.

The q u e s t i o n we are l e f t with is this: Do we want a "Liberal Arts College," w h e r e s t u d e n t s are mass p r o d u c e d , simply as a m e a n s of keeping m o n e y c o m i n g into t h e college t o k e e p t h e f a c u l t y and administrators e m p l o y e d ; or d o we w a n t a liberal (arts) college, w h e r e a s t u d e n t is given t h e f r e e d o m t o be himself and to realize his o w n individual h u m a n p o t e n t i a l ?

Kory E. C o u g h r a n filled, and t h e lack of provisions f o r a s t u d e n t t o c o n t r a c t with an i n s t r u c t o r to s t u d y in a particular area. If the college t o o k its ideals and responsibilities seriously, it would realize t h a t these things must be c h a n g e d .

In m y o p i n i o n , h o u s i n g units s h o u l d be assigned in such a way t h a t t h o s e w h o wish t o live in a 24-hour o p e n d o r m , o r a d o r m with limited or n o visitation, could d o so.

This w o u l d not be practicable b e f o r e next fall. D u r i n g t h e i n t e r i m t h e college should allow each floor t o decide its o w n policy.

It is a k n o w n f a c t ( k n o w n by s t u d e n t s and i n s t r u c t o r s , as well as by psychologists) t h a t s t u d e n t s learn very little when f o r c e d t o t a k e a course t h e y d o not w a n t , and t h u s , f o r t h e m o s t p a r t , waste t h e i r t i m e and m o n e y .

Dickens 'Christmas Carol : a note of gratitude E d i t o r ' s n o t e : This w e e k ' s anchor review is w r i t t e n by Professor of English A. J a m e s Prins. He reviews the t h e a t e r d e p a r t m e n t ' s production of A Christmas Carol. The play is Frederick G a i n e s ' adaptation of Charles D i c k e n s ' classic.

Performances continue through this w e e k e n d .

"If I could work m y will, every idiot w h o goes a b o u t with 'Merry C h r i s t m a s ' on his lips, should be boiled with his own pudding, and buried with a stake of holly t h r o u g h his heart. He s h o u l d ! " The words of Ebenezer Scrooge p o i n t the s o m b e r side of Dickens' C h r i s t m a s classic. A Christmas Carol is a vigorous protest against the selfishness and greed of an e c o n o m i c system Dickens t h o u g h t was d e h u m a n izing n i n e t e e n t h - c e n t u r y England, squeezing t h e h u m a n heart into a stick, t u r n i n g a whole society heartless against t h o s e t h e system impoverished.

S C R O O G E , in his callous indifference t o h u m a n welfare, is the p e r s o n i f i c a t i o n of this e c o n o m i c lieartlessness. When it is suggested to him t h a t the p o o r w o u l d rather die t h a n go to the p o o r h o u s e s he s u p p o r t s , a Malthusian Scrooge replies that "if t h e y would rather die, they had b e t t e r d o it, and decrease the surplus p o p u l a t i o n . " Scrooge's only business is Business.

T h e conversion of Scrooge to a gospel of good cheer is a parable •I social r e d e m p t i o n ; it symbolizes Dickens' faith that the chains of gold which b u r d e n Marley's Ghost can be b r o k e n , that

kindness of heart and a sense of b r o t h e r h o o d can rule the relation of man to f e l l o w m a n , that men can feel m o r e j o y in the happiness of o t h e r s t h a n in t h e acquisition of m o n e y - not just Christmas season but 365 days of the year.

T h e past can be r e d e e m e d in the future.

F O R D I C K E N S , Christmas j o y , the spirit of C h r i s t m a s , is a natural more t h a n a s u p e r n a t u r a l j o y : " O n e a r t h peace, g o o d will t o w a r d men."

Generosity, sympathy, w a r m t h of heart are closely linked with the j o y f u l fellowship of f u n , frolic, mistletoe and kissing games, singing and dancing and feasting on goose and gravy, plum p u d d i n g and p u n c h .

N o system can satisfy, Dickens tells us, which e x c l u d e s this joy of h u m a n fellowship. There is no m o r e of theological dogma or political d o c t r i n e in Carol than that.

I D I D N O T m e a n to be a critic, to write a review. I went to s e e / I Christmas Carol because I am old e n o u g h and y o u n g enough to admit, w i t h o u t e m b a r r a s s m e n t , a f o n d n e s s for the Dickens Christmas s e n t i m e n t .

I went on a very un-Christmasy day, seeking C h r i s t m a s j o y : 1 w a n t e d to c a p t u r e the sense of white s n o w falling and cold air on the c h e e k , of crisp green holly leaves and holly berries brightly red, of lighted w i n d o w s and friendly fires, of chiming bells and merry laughter. I went because I w a n t e d to believe - to be converted with Scrooge t o faith in kindness of heart.

THERE WERE beforehand doubts about adaptations.

W S / ? 5 peeopd pewieu/ E d i t o r ' s n o t e : This w e e k ' s WTAS record review is w r i t t e n by Jim McFarlin. He reviews Madman Across the Water by Elton J o h n on UNI. Picture yourself in a d a r k e n e d b a r r o o m on a very late Friday night. T h e air is thick with onces m o k e d cigarettes and the underlying scent of stale beer. The trappings are gaudy and cheap, and the p a t r o n s are dwindling in number.

YOU H A V E just this evening met a long-lost f r i e n d , p e r h a p s an old flame, and have decided u p o n these s u r r o u n d i n g s to renew acquaintances.

T h e r e is a break in y o u r conversation; s u d d e n l y y o u b e c o m e aware of t h e plain-looking, lonely p i a n o player in the c o r n e r , belting out his ballad as if he were o n stage at Carnegie Hall. He fascinates y o u . " H e ' s not t o o bad, " you say, and try t o r e t u r n to y o u r f r i e n d , but y o u c a n ' t .

T H I S L I T T L E m a n and his music have t r a p p e d y o u within something personal, s o m e t h i n g b e a u t i f u l , and are f o r c i n g you t o remain a listener. This little m a n this a r t i s t - is E l t o n J o h n .

E l t o n ' s voice is of t h e quality that always seems out of place n o m a t t e r w h a t he is singing. O n e finds himself wondering how m u c h b e t t e r his personal favorite artist c o u l d relate t h e lyrics he is hearing.

M A Y B E E L T O N J o h n should have an old b o x guitar and a m i c r o p h o n e stand on the stage of the G r a n d Old O p r y , in f r o n t of

2 0 , 0 0 0 screaming admirers w h o can t h i n k of only him.

But when his striking, simply enchanting orchestrations comm e n c e , any similarities with Nashville n o n s e n s e cease. For it is t h e n you s u d d e n l y discover the rare and u n i q u e gift y o u have in this man.

THE INTENSE partnership and c o m b i n a t i o n involving his h a u n t i n g , searching melodies and the t e n d e r lyrics of Bernie T a u p i n has been such t h a t it has transformed two rather mediocre musicians i n t o e x t r e m e l y a d e p t superstars. His n e w a l b u m . Madman Across the Water, is a cont i n u a t i o n of this mind t r u s t .

In an Elton J o h n a l b u m one can begin t o a p p r e c i a t e the intricacies involved in the p r o d u c t i o n of a work of art such as a stereop h o n i c recording. In Madman, every song has the ability to stand on its o w n as a cohesive musical u n i t y ; yet t h e r e is a sensation of climbing p r e s e n t .

As I s t o o d on the terrace of t h e DeWitt C u l t u r a l C e n t e r , u n d e r n e a t h a huge holly w r e a t h f a s t e n e d to the face of t h e building, it was a dank, drizzly 4 5 degrees, not at all p r o p i t i o u s f o r invocation of t h e Christmas spirit.

But the w r e a t h twinkled me in to brighter lights, to carolers singing in c o r r i d o r s and aisles, t o p r e t t y ushers directing me to m y seat.

I STEPPED into another world, a L o n d o n street, the Dickens world of Christmas 1843, t o lose myself f o r an h o u r in E b e n e zer Scrooge and Fred and Marley's G h o s t , in Mr. and Mrs. Fezziwig, in Bob Crachit and his wife and Tiny Tim - in a world of s h i f t i n g scenes and gorgeous colors and w o n d e r f u l c o s t u m e s , of stringed music and carols and bells and s n o w and spirits in the air, of a t u r k e y as big as a b o y .

Outside again, u n d e r the holly wreath o n c e m o r e , the air was colder, s h a r p e r , clearer. T h e r e seemed the t o u c h of snow on m y face.

T O M O R R O W would be brighter. P e r h a p s my heart was p u r e r .

A n y w a y , t h e huge wreath twinkled me to h o m e and to peace.

Frederick Gaines' sparkling, singing a d a p t a t i o n of A Christmas Carol to t h e stage has preserved in dialogue and in setting not only the core of Dickens' p h i l o s o p h y but also Dickens' fusion of fact and f a n t a s y , what Dickens in a n o t h e r place called " d w e l l i n g u p o n the r o m a n t i c side of familiar t h i n g s , " a blending of d r e a m and social reality that m a k e s the conversion of Scrooge credible.

AND T O M T a m m i ' s Scrooge is professional and right: the language of Dickens, even of Scrooge, in A Christmas Carol is playful h y p e r b o l e , a m a s q u e r a d e , no more naturalistic than the fanciful setting. Who can believe that Scrooge is half so terrible, half so ferocious as he tries to s o u n d at the beginning?

T h e r e are s o m e little d o u b t s in retrospect.

I WONDER about "improvem e n t s " on Dickens, s o m e t i m e s on Gaines: A Doll Girl twice riding across the stage on the t o p of a c o f f i n ; nine-foot spirits, like Hallowe'en spooks, big as the wreath o u t s i d e , teetering on the steps of disaster, keeping me a n x i o u s f o r t h e m ; Marley playing the ghost of H a m l e t ' s f a t h e r with fading "remember me's."

But this is not a critique or review, just a n o t e of appreciation. At Christmastime 1843 a critic claimed that Dickens' Carol had d o n e more good " t h a n can be traced to all the pulpits and confessionals in C h r i s t e n d o m since

Meeting to determine interest in flying club Student Activities Director John Jackson has announced that a meeting will be held after Christmas for all students interested in forming a flying club. The club would enable students to take a pilot's course offered by Burgess Aviation Inc. of Holland.

THE PROPOSED pilot's course would offer two flights daily and two ground classroom sessions weekly. The course could be completed in three months according to Burgess' president John Brower.

The course now costs $ 8 0 0 to private students but Brower stated that the fee would be discounted to $600 if 25 or more people enroll. Brower points out that the course offers all the minimum flight times required by law and that the classroom sessions could be held here on campus.

BI-WEEKLY sessions will include information on the con-

struction and operation of the plane, weather hazards, and the reading of flight terminology.

Films, records and lectures would be employed in the instruction, Brower says.

Written and operational tests would be administered and students would have to score at least 70 percent on every examination to obtain a license.

BROWER pointed out that "courses offered by Burgess can open job opportunities in many fields including agriculture, private chartering, airport managing, aircraft salesmanship or air traffic controlling. A licensed pilot is qualified to do far more than just operate a plane."

The time and place of the meeting to discuss forming the club will be posted in the daily bulletin after vacation, Jackson said.

The old Nixon: alive and flying high in Indochina Editor's note: This week's anchor essay is written by senior philosophy major Ryan Mathews. He comments on the results of a survey on the air war in Indochina.

A study by the Center For International Studies at Cornell University has arrived at some startling conclusions about the nature of our military involvement in Southeast Asia.

"We wanted to get the New Testament down for right where kids are today.

'Cause of that we had to get away from formal language and dusty religious rap. Dig It"

THE RESULTS of the center's research seem to discredit the Nixon administration's claim that it has been involved in a systematic attempt to end American involvement in Indochina. The withdrawal of American ground forces has been pointed out as proof of its sincerity.

However, it is apparent that the entire conflict in Indochina is not waged by ground forces. The results of the center's investigation of the air war are intriguing to anyone attempting to understand American foreign policy.

The 20 researchers at the center have concluded that the Nixon administration has maintained in Indochina the military capability to sustain prolonged military activity through the use of air power.

THE CENTER HAS discovered that in 1971 there has been as much bombing in Indochina by Americans as was done in ail of World War H. This fact is startling enough, yet it is not the most interesting feature revealed by the Cornell study. The study has also disclosed that by the end of this year the Nixon administration will have deployed in three years as much b o m b tonnage as the John-

son administration did in five years.

The center has also revealed stepped up bombing in Laos and Cambodia. It is evident that if the findings of the center are accurate, the claims of the Nixon administration should be more carefully scrutinized. It is apparent that the American military effort in Indochina could be maintained by saturation bombing as well as by the activity of ground troops. The effectiveness of this

IF WE DO N O T , there may be secret wars in Indochina forever.

The facts are available, but they must be sought out. Nixon may be bringing the troops home, yet the war in Indochina remains a reality. The strength of a country depends on the trust people have in their government. The Cornell study raises some serious questions as to whether this trust exists today.

tactic may be questionable, but the damage done is not debatable.

THE REAL QUESTION facing Americans now should be, "What is the goal of the Nixon administration in I n d o c h i n a ? " At this point it is difficult to draw any real conclusions. What can be said is that the Nixon administration is attempting to conceal its military involvement in Indochina. As troop withdrawal increases, casualty reports decrease.

The result of this policy has been a lull in the anti-war sentiment. The Nixon administration has been effective in minimizing the potential for protest. It is also guilty of dishonesty. It has claimed that its intent is to phase out American military activity in Indochina, but its actions point up the falsity of this statement.

AMERICANS should concern themselves with the reality of the Nixon policy. T h e importance of a critical appraisal of the policy is self-evident, especially in the light of the upcoming presidential election. America can no longer afford a secret war in Indochina.

America can no longer afford any wars. The reality of the world political situation will no longer tolerate it.

The present situation in Indochina is typical of that going on around the world. American involvement in the Middle East and India are further examples of the spirit of the Nixon administration.

There is an air of mystery and secrecy that goes beyond the pale of national security. The air war in Indochina must cease and Americans must wake up to the political realities of the present world situation.

The violation of the national integrity of the Third World seems to be a consistent feature of current American foreign policy. The Nixon administration is deliberately deceiving the American public as to the nature of our military commitment in Indochina. It is time that we stop our violations of the territorial integrity of sovereign nations in order to f u r t h e r our own ends.

THE WAR IN Indochina is an oppressive reality that America must face. Why we are involved at all is a mystery. Why we are increasing our military involvement presents another puzzling question. What is it that we want from Indochina and why does the administration continually fail to articulate the reality of our military involvement?

Part of the answer lies in (he nature of Richard Nixon. Political intrigue is his specialty. He remains one of the classic examples of American political expertise.

He has the ability to mollify liberals into believing that he is harmless and ineffective, at the same time convincing conservatives and moderates that he is saving the country.

THE RESULT IS that America can be involved in a large scale air war without anyone being either particularly concerned or even aware of it. Richard Nixon is a clever man. He has lulled a tired nation to sleep, and presented them with pleasant dreams. Once

again everything will be all right.

No more trouble, no more protest. Yet the reality remains. We are involved in Indochina, and we shall continue to be involved.

Whatever the aims of the administration, the result will be a heightening of international tension. Red China's admission to the United Nations and the current situation in India make it critically imperative that we conduct our foreign policy in a responsible manner. Richard Nixon is not the president to do this.

HE HAS CONTINUALLY demonstrated his inability to maintain a foreign policy which is consistent and reflects a national integrity. America must put an end to all of its involvement in Indochina. One morning we must wake up f r o m our dreams and recognize the nightmare we have been living in.

Professionalism, warmth mark actor Tammi When o n e e n c o u n t e r s T o m Tammi, currently actor-in-resid e n c e f e a t u r e d as Scrooge in the theater department's production of A Christmas Carol, it b e c o m e s a p p a r e n t t h a t this is a man w h o is always aware of himself.

HIS BODY IS well-trained and w e l l - c o n d i t i o n e d ; his voice is wellm o d u l a t e d and always precise; his gestures are expressive and never awkward.

Still, a feeling of w a r m t h , of c o n c e r n , radiates f r o m him.

He has learned to p l u m b his e m o t i o n s , to exploit them for the b e n e f i t of m a n y a u d i e n c e s ; but the k n o w l e d g e of how easily emot i o n s can be m a n i p u l a t e d s e e m s to have made him more c a r e f u l , m o r e leery of the thoughtless, e m p t y a c t i o n s that can r o b enc o u n t e r s b e t w e e n people of their human concern.

TAMMI S A Y S that he a d m i r e s Douglas C a m p b e l l as an a c t o r , " b e c a u s e he is so technically able.

B u t , " he carefully adds, " t h e r e has to be s o m e t h i n g m o r e . T h e r e is n o t h i n g so boring as w a t c h i n g a merely technical a c t o r . " F o r his technical training in the c r a f t of acting T a m m i a t t e n d e d the Bristol Old Vic in England. He describes t h e program t h e r e as " v e r y r i g o r o u s . " In addition to the e x p e c t e d courses in acting styles and voice t e c h n i q u e s , he studied fencing, classical and m o d e r n ballet, g y m n a s t i c s and m a n y more physical disciplines. " T h e a c t o r ' s b o d y , " he says, "is his i n s t r u m e n t , and must be in t u n e . " TAMMI O F T E N c o m p a r e s theater to music: " T h e a c t o r and the playwright are b o t h i m p o r t a n t in d i f f e r e n t ways. A piece of music d o e s not live until it is p e r f o r m e d , and the p e r f o r m e r adds a personal d i m e n s i o n t o the w o r k . " " W h e n I say that 1 a p p r e c i a t e the classical t h e a t e r , 1 d o not

mean m u s e u m t h e a t e r , " he declares. ' T h e classics live t o d a y because t h e y deal with issues that still mean s o m e t h i n g to us. When one likes Bach or Beethoven, it is not because they are ' o l d , ' but because their music is b e a u t i f u l to him."

WHEN Q U E S T I O N E D a b o u t his a t t i t u d e toward Hope, T a m m i laughs and replies, " I ' v e been so rushed. I really haven't seen much but the t h e a t e r , but what I've seen I like."

And it seems as t h o u g h the feeling a m o n g the s t u d e n t s with w h o m he has c o m e into c o n t a c t is similar. Well," says one cast m e m ber, " h e ' s been really busy and intent on doing a good j o b as Scrooge. I haven't really talked with him or gotten to k n o w h i m , but what 1 do k n o w a b o u t him, I like very m u c h . " C O N C E R N I N G his work on A Christmas Carol T a m m i is enthusiastic. "I like working in the university situation. One feels m o r e f r e e d o m to e x p e r i m e n t . There is no commercial e l e m e n t . Plus there is the great advantage of being cast as s o m e t h i n g o t h e r than a y o u n g man. In professional theater most of the casting is by types."

"I like Fred Gaines' a d a p t a t i o n of A Christmas Carol very m u c h .

He hasn't just taken the literal; he's given the story a d r a m a t i c flow all his o w n . " "I'M P L E A S E D with the work I've d o n e here. Most of the acting went on instinct. It's all been a terrible rush; we o p e n e d the show nine d a y s a f t e r I arrived in Holland."

When asked a b o u t his f u t u r e T a m m i is only d e f i n i t e a b o u t one thing. "I will never d o a n o t h e r soap o p e r a ; c o m m e r c i a l s , yes, soap operas, n o . " He says he would like to be a part of a t h e a t e r in America

Survey shows children losing respect for Nixon (CPS) - One long-range e f f e c t of the V i e t n a m war is the loss of respect for the president a m o n g children, according to a survey c o n d u c t e d by Howard Tolley of Wilberforce University in Ohio.

Court rules against sex bias (CPS) - By a u n a n i m o u s v o t e of 7-0, the S u p r e m e C o u r t has struck down an I d a h o law giving men preference over w o m e n , affirming for the first t i m e that the 14th A m e n d m e n t applies in sex discrimination cases.

C H I E F J U S T I C E Warren E. Burger wrote the o p i n i o n nullifying the state law which says women are not to be t r e a t e d equally with men as a d m i n i s t r a t o r s of estates.

T h e S u p r e m e Court decision was based u p o n the clause in the 14th A m e n d m e n t f o r b i d d i n g denial of " e q u a l p r o t e c t i o n of the laws." " T O GIVE A m a n d a t o r y preference to m e m b e r s of either sex over m e m b e r s of the o t h e r is to m a k e the very kind of a r b i t r a r y legislative choice f o r b i d d e n by the equal p r o t e c t i o n c l a u s e , " Burger wrote.

T h e Court did not grant the p l a i n t i f f s ' c o n t e n t i o n that discrim i n a t i o n was illegal unless a c o m pelling reason was given for it, leaving w o m e n the b u r d e n of proving in the f u t u r e that discrimination practiced against t h e m was solely on the basis of sex.

On being 'saved'

" 0 p e C o l l e S e ) w e have both extremes. But I tnmJc the problem is more pervasive than just the actual conflict between the extremes. There is I ttunk uneasiness which arises from the fear of being labled in one extreme or the other. In the absence ot a better way, this is bound to have a paralyzing ciieci.

MY FEELING IS THAT this better way will open up, as we begin to tap into, to learn, much

In my last essay, 1 spoke of the conflict between Christianity conceived as a mode of personal piety on one hand, and as a mode of social activism on the other. 1 suggested that even when we ease the conflict by affirming the need for both modes, we still have a schizophrenic aim: we have put something which should be a unity into two separate conceptual boxes.

IT SEEMS TO ME that one of the things that makes for this schizophrenia is an inadequate conception of the meaning of salvation, as a result of two extremes within Christian thought.

We have on one hand the fundamentalist conception, which understands the meaning of salvation primarily in terms of where you go after you die.

Salvation is the saving of souls, from hell for heaven!

1 would say that t o the degree that we hold this conception, our social ministry must remain in a separate, and relatively u n i m p o r t a n t , box. It beu^comes important only as it contributes to the main business of saving souls.

ON THE OTHER HAND is the liberalist extreme, which is inadaquate because it has no concept of salvation. In its extreme, it is a creed of mere moral exhortation and responsibility. It relies upon the capacity of the human will to achieve its meals once those ideals are set before us in Christ, llus reliance upon our own capacity for self-improvement and the recognition of ideals, remains on the surface of things. To that degree, it has no concept of the need for a deeper answer to our problems.

THE

MINISTRY OF

CHRIST'S

P E O P L E

more about the meaning of "salvation." Specifically, it seems t o me that as we begin to understand salvation as a moral t r a n s f o r m a t i o n of the direction of man's will, as the healing of all the ways in which life has b e c o m e twisted - as we begin to u n d e r s t a n d , both conceptually and in a living way, h o w the Presence of God meets us at these points, we begin to see the many i n t i m a t e connections which bind together in a unity the life of devotion to God and the life of service t o man.

Piety, when b o u n d together in such a unity, is a n y t h i n g but i m p o t e n t . It is the root, f r o m which the fruits of social ministry might flourish. Unfortunately, p i e t y " can take on radically diverse functions beneath the guise of the same "Christian language." For example, t h e piety of a southern slaveholder as he q u o t e s Bible verses, has a radically different f u n c t i o n and meaning than t h e piety of the enslaved black man. One can, I suppose, call them t h e same rehgion, but the sameness is superficial: it is more a m a t t e r of words than realities.

AND THE PIETY OF A simple Quaker named John Wool man is yet of a different sort. Those who consider religion as necessarily the morphine of the masses would do well to consider him. The depth of his roots in the Presence of God led him to effectively bring about the abolition of slavery among the Society of Friends, a hundred years before the Civil War. The different functions piety can have within the matrix of human life should say at least two things to us. First, it should warn us not to make judgments based on the surface similarities, without giving careful attention to the much more significant functional differences.

SECOND, IT SHOULD WARN us away from settling for a pseudo-piety, which makes up with narrowness what it sacrifices in depth, integrity and practical responsibility.

That is not the sort of sacrifice which the Lord of Isaiah 58 asks of us.
