Dislikes specialization
by Dave Thomas anchor Reporter
" T h e h ippy m o v e m e n t is largely the result of i nadequac i e s in e d u c a t i o n - i t ' s b e c o m i n g de-h u m a n i z e d . " T h u s speaks Dr. Clarence DeGraaf on o n e of his favor i t e issues: not t he " h i p p y m o v e m e n t , " bu t t he p rocess of e d u c a t i o n .
A P R O F E S S O R O F English since 1928, DeGraaf has wi tnessed m a n y changes in his 42 years at H o p e , and is par t icu la r ly inter-ested in changes in s t u d e n t att i-t udes and recent t r ends in educa-t ion .
" E d u c a t i o n in the large univer-sity is a se l l -ou t , " DeGraaf says. "Because jobs in the g o v e r n m e n t and o t h e r areas requi re specializa-t ion , the 'mu l t i ve r s i t y , ' wi th its vast degree of spec ia l i za t ion , t u rns ou t s t uden t s that are c o m p e t e n t in a very l imi ted area , p repa r ing t h e m for specif ic tasks in soc ie ty w i t h o u t provid ing a basic f o u n d a -t ion .
" T H E P R E S S U R E ON men t o specialize has made a liberal ar ts e d u c a t i o n a l u x u r y . More and m o r e men are receiving t echn ica l e d u c a t i o n s instead of liberal ar ts because of p rofess iona l d e m a n d s , and this is why we ' re beg inn ing to have more w o m e n in liberal a r t s t h a n men . Liberal a r t s has b e c o m e ' f emin i zed , ' while t he men have gone to the mu l t i ve r s i t y . "
T h e spec ia l iza t ion of t he mul t i -vers i ty , as DeGraaf sees it, has had a d e h u m a n i z i n g e f f ec t on college s t u d e n t s and is t h e sou rce of m u c h of t o d a y ' s c a m p u s d issent . " T h e individual has been lost in t he s y s t e m . He has lost his h u m a n c o n t a c t s on the c a m p u s , a n d now he is rebel l ing against th is " m a -chine e d u c a t i o n , " DeGraaf says.
A F T E R G R A D U A T I N G f r o m Calvin College in 1921 , DeGraaf b e c a m e pr incipal of Hol land Chris t ian High Schoo l . He held this pos i t ion f o r seven years and t h e n b e c a m e a m e m b e r of t h e H o p e College f acu l t y . Ini t ia l ly ,
concerns DeGraaf DeGraaf supervised s t u d e n t teach ing in the n o w - d e f u n c t H o p e Col-lege P r e p a r a t o r y Schoo l , bu t soon b e c a m e involved in t h e English p rog ram.
T h i s was a t u r n - a b o u t f r o m his u n d e r g r a d u a t e work at Calvin, where he m a j o r e d in c h e m i s t r y . "I gave some English classes while 1 was at Hol land C h r i s t i a n , " De Graa f recalls, " a n d 1 f o u n d tha t this discipline was m u c h m o r e m e a n i n g f u l t o me than sc ience or m a t h e m a t i c s . In English class we asked the right q u e s t i o n s - t h e b road q u e s t i o n s of h u m a n pur-pose and respons ib i l i ty .
e d u c a t i o n in science and m a t h e -mat ics because he feels t h a t it is a valid par t of t h e " b r o a d a c a d e m i c base" that every we l l - educa t ed person needs.
HIS P O S T - G R A D U A T E w o r k in English was, however , far m o r e e n j o y a b l e . F o r a pe r iod of t e n years , DeGraaf a l t e rna t ed his t each ing of c o m p o s i t i o n and Eng-lish l i t e ra tu re with s u m m e r grad-uate work at the Univers i ty of Michigan, receiving his d o c t o r a t e in 1947 .
U n d e r s t a n d a b l y , DeGraaf is conce rned a b o u t the g radua l change in e m p h a s i s f r o m h u m a n i -ties t o the sciences at H o p e Col-lege. " A f t e r World War II, t h e shift in emphas i s b e c a m e very no t i ceab l e . " DeGraaf expla ins .

This s t a t e m e n t , p repared by the Black Coal i t ion , was in response to the pend ing suspens ions of t w o black s t u d e n t s by the S t u d e n t Judic ia l Board.
Also inc luded in the s t a t e m e n t were the a p p o i n t m e n t of two black s t u d e n t s t o the S t u d e n t Judicial Board , the add i t ion of one black m e m b e r t o the S t u d e n t S tand ing and Appea l s C o m m i t t e e , the review by the S t u d e n t Judic ia l Board of t he t w o b lacks ' suspen-sions, and an o p e n hear ing on the Feb . 1 1 incident involving the t w o black s t u d e n t s by the S t u d e n t Judica l Board.
ON M A R C H 16 the AdAB, act ing on the s t a t e m e n t , re fe r red the reques t fo r a " m i n i m u m of two black s t u d e n t m e m b e r s on the Judicial B o a r d " to the Cam-pus Life Board which es tab l i shed the Judic ia l Board . In this mee t ing the A d A B also es tabl ished the Ad Hoc C o m m i t t e e t o work out t h e " p u r p o s e s and s t r u c t u r e s " of the H u m a n Rights Counci l .
The add i t i on of o n e m e m b e r t o the S tuden t S t and ing and Appea l s C o m m i t t e e also received favorab le response by t h e A d A B . Since t h e res t ruc tur ing of t h e S t u d e n t S tanding and Appea l s C o m m i t t e e , T im Ligget t , S t u d e n t Congress Pres ident , has a p p o i n t e d Lorenza Howard .

S u b s e q u e n t ap-p o i n t m e n t s on the r e c o m m e n d a -tion of the C L B by Liggett were Lorraine Price and La D o n n e J o h n s o n .
Since the revision of its s t ruc-ture , t he S t u d e n t Judicial Board has agreed to w i t h d r a w its r ecom-m e n d a t i o n to the S t u d e n t S t and -ing and Appea ls C o m m i t t e e fo r the suspens ion of the two black s tuden t s .
ON A P R I L 16 the S t u d e n t Judicial Board met in an o p e n hearing to hear t he case and sus-pension charges against t he t w o black s t u d e n t s .

AAUP Draft statement on student participation Editor 's Note: The fo l lowing arti-
cle is a " D r a f t Statement on Stu-dent Part ic ipat ion in College and University Government" prepared
by a commi t tee of the American Association of University Profes-sors. The statement appeared in the Spring, 1970, issue of AAUP
Bulletin. The Bulletin prefaced the article w i t h the note that, " t h i s version (of the statement) is on ly a provisional approach to a complex subject."
The Bulletin also stated that, " T h e 1966 Statement on Govern-
ment of Colleges and Universities
refers to students as 'an institu-
t ional component coordinate in importance w i t h trustees, adminis-
trators and facul ty, ' notes that 'students do not in fact presently
have a significant voice in the
government of colleges and uni-versities,' and expresses the hope
that the educational commun i t y
w i l l ' tu rn its at tent ion to an im-portant need.' "
The fo l low ing statement is pre-
sented because of its wide-ranging
impl icat ions and its importance to all members of the educational commun i t y .

T H E S T A T E M E N T itself is based on the premise tha t s t u d e n t s as m e m b e r s of the a c a d e m i c com-m u n i t y , in add i t i on to the i r r ights as set f o r t h in the Joint Statement on Rights and Freedoms of Stu-dents, have a d is t inc t ive role wh ich , in respec t s s ta ted be low , qua l i f ies t h e m to share in the exerc ise of respons ib le a u t h o r i t y on c a m p u s ; t h e exercise of that a u t h o r i t y is part of the i r educa-t i o n .

Time to communicate needed Edi to r ' s N o t e : This w e e k ' s aA7c/7or essay is wr i t t en by senior Tim Liggett , past Pres iden t of t h e Stu-d e n t Congress .
T h e o f f i c e of S t u d e n t Congress pres ident p robab ly o p e n s more d o o r s than are available to the average s t u d e n t . It o f f e r s new insights i n to the role of the stu-den t in this c o m m u n i t y and the q u e s t i o n s t o which he deserves answers .
IN MY E X P E R I E N C E in tins College the role of t he s t u d e n t has increased great ly in its impor t -ance . O t h e r s are reaching the reali-za t ion tha t the s t u d e n t voice is in te l l igent , r e spons ib le , and con-cerned wi th the f u t u r e of the Col lege.
T h e a c c e p t a n c e of the c o m m i t -tee s t r u c t u r e and its increased s t u d e n t pa r t i c i pa t i on in decis ion-mak ing has proven t o be jus t i f i ed by the qua l i ty of s t u d e n t s accep t -ing pos i t i ons on c o m m i t t e e s and boards . Many academic depa r t -m e n t s are seeing the value in accep t ing s t u d e n t o p i n i o n s and pa r t i c ipa t ion in d e p a r t m e n t a l ac-t ions and even invit ing advice on the se lect ion of f a cu l t y .
T H E B O A R D O F T r u s t e e s also is beginning to f ind the need for increased u n d e r s t a n d i n g of the s t u d e n t po in t of view. Th i s is
i l lus t ra ted by the interest of many board m e m b e r s last Februa ry w h o wan ted to discover why s t u d e n t s on th is c a m p u s needed an inter-r o o m vis i ta t ion policy - a n d they finally asked some s t u d e n t s a b o u t it.
But this hardly begins to pro-vide the answers to many ques-t ions in the m i n d s of a n y o n e -f acu l ty m e m b e r , admin i s t r a to r , board m e m b e r or s t uden t . One mee t ing b e t w e e n a few board m e m b e r s and several s t u d e n t s on o n e top i c cer ta in ly c a n n o t be ample c o m m u n i c a t i o n to jus t i fy so m a n y ac t ions by the Board of T r u s t e e s which a f fec t the lives of every s t u d e n t on this campus .
W H A T IS N E E D E D is t ime, t ime fo r Board m e m b e r s to sit d o w n and talk wi th s tuden t s , so tha t a s t u d e n t can begin to under-s tand the c o m p l e x i t y of the posi-t ion of a Board m e m b e r , and he in tu rn begins t o u n d e r s t a n d the q u e s t i o n s which the s t u d e n t pre-sents .
T h e r e seem to be an over abun-d a n c e of these ques t ions and merely a h a n d f u l of answers . But still the q u e s t i o n s d e m a n d some e x a m i n a t i o n . S o m e of the ques-t ions are trivial and some concern the basis u p o n which this College is bui l t . T o search f o r answers requ i res discuss ion that seems at p resen t t o be lacking.

S T U D E N T S CAN be fed up with hour s l im i t a t i ons and ask why the College would main ta in a policy of in loco parent is . They ques t i on chape l pol icy and ask what the re la t ionsh ip be tween the c h u r c h and the College is. How does the admiss ions policy fit in with the general goals of H o p e College?
The d i f f i cu l ty in a p p r o a c h i n g these q u e s t i o n s is tha t it takes a crisis be fo re m a n y th ings are dis-cussed. The diversi ty of s t u d e n t ac t iv i ty , or p r o b a b l y the lack of
c o n c e r n is a p r o b l e m . Admin i s t ra -to r s d o not seem to cons ider many issues unt i l so m u c h pres-sure is appl ied that th ings must be dec ided i m m e d i a t e l y .
I L L U S T R A T I N G T H I S po in t is the recent series of events end-ing in several changes conce rn ing black s t u d e n t s in th i s campus . What seemed t o be changes which should have been m a d e several years before the s i tua t ion arose , only came as a crisis b e c a m e evident on the c a m p u s . More fore-t h o u g h t is necessary in shap ing college policy.
T h e r e are possibi l i t ies for m o r e en l igh tened a p p r o a c h e s to ques-t ions which d o arise. A H u m a n Rights C o u n c i l has been f o r m e d -not t o solve t h e w o r l d ' s p r o b l e m s but t o at least d iscuss wha t can be done . Many a d m i n i s t r a t o r s and Board m e m b e r s are beginning to u n d e r s t a n d the need t o listen to s t u d e n t s . And then the q u e s t i o n s which will p resen t themselves can be in te l l igent ly discussed wi th fa i r r e p r e s e n t a t i o n f r o m all cons t iu -e n t s of the H o p e c o m m u n i t y .

H o p e College a n c h o r
AAUP statement for Hope For several years a statement by the
American Association of University Profes-sors has been used on many college cam-
puses as a guide to the role o f the student in academic processes and college govern-
ance. Port ions of that statement were
formal ly approved by the Campus Li fe Board earlier this year, and those por t ions
are now part of the College pol icy on
recogni t ion of campus organizations. A new statement, the " D r a f t Statement
on Student Part icipation in College and
anchor editorials
University Government , " has recently been
published by the A A U P organ. This state-
ment spells out in specific terms what the
previous statement occasionally left vague. I t is a document prepared by responsible
educators, it recognizes the differences that exist between schools w i t h d i f fe rent goals
and purposes, and i t clearly indicates the
students' role in college government. Hope College has, in fact , already ap-
proved much of the phi losophy contained
w i t h i n the A A U P statement. Through its c o m m u n i t y government setup, the College
has given students a voice in nearly every
one of the areas which the statement
outl ines. However, the statement goes be-yond Hope College's present governance
system in several impor tant respects. The f i rs t step to rect i fy th is s i tuat ion is
to approve as College pol icy the A A U P statement or a similar document . The commit tees and boards should begin this process immediate ly , and approval should
be given by every governing group, inclu-
ding the facul ty and the Board of Trustees.
Next , students should be given a ma-
jo r i t y voice on the Campus L i fe Board and
its standing committees. Th is is in keeping w i t h the phi losophy of section b of the
statement, "S tudent Regulations." This
section clearly states that students should be given pr imary responsibi l i ty (i.e., legisla-
tive powers) for the fo rmu la t ion of regula-t ions pertaining to their personal lives,
subject to restr ict ions imposed by law. Th i rd ly , the facul ty " r igh t of review"
must be immediately abolished on matters dealing w i t h student regulations. This r ight
of review is s imply an extension of the in loco parentis concept, and shows lack of
respect for student judgment as wel l as lack
of confidence in the student body. Abol i -t ionof the " r i gh t of review" is suggested in
the section of the A A U P statement ent i t led
" Imp lemen ta t i on . " Four th l y , the Academic Af fa i rs Board
should establish fair student evaluation of
the facul ty and courses, w i th the results to be made publ ic. This move is also promp-ted by the A A U P statement (section c,
"Academic Courses and S ta f f " ) . Th is could mean publ ishing a separate catalog, or publ ishing similar in format ion in the news-paper, giving adequate evaluation of each
professor and course. Final ly, students should be given fair ,
and adequate representation (even if not as*
vot ing members) on the Board of Trustees.
Student op in ion has rarely been heard
d i rect ly f r o m students at Board meetings and ignorance abounds on bo th the part o f
the students and the Board concerning the
activit ies and responsibil i t ies of each group.
On ly by placing students inside the doors
of the meetings of the Board can communi -
cat ion be fast, accurate and direct.
If these measures are taken (and there
may be many more which could also have
their roots in the A A U P statement or
similar documents) , then Hope College w i l l
have established itself as a leader in the
f ie ld of responsible student par t ic ipat ion in
college governance. But if these actions are
not taken, in loco parentis w i l l remain at Hope College as a disgraceful reminder o f
the days when students were l i t t le more
than memory banks in some great "educa-
t i ona l " machine.
Positive student activism With the fo rmat ion of the Human
Rights Counci l by the Admin is t ra t ive
Af fa i rs Board last Thursday, the last o f the five requests of the Black Coal i t ion and the
black students presented to Dean of Aca-
demic A f fa i rs Morret te Rider on March 12
was met. This was remarkably fast act ion
by Hope's campus government, a system
that has for over a year failed to grant
students an open-visitation pol icy, and the
speed exhib i ted in meeting the legit imate
demands of the blacks should be com-
mended. Besides the urgency of the demands,
there was another reason for the p romp t act ion by the campus government; the
black students placed pressure on the
system for change f rom I t is this second
reason that should catch the at tent ion of
all student leaders and students generally
who deske valid changes at Hope College.
These students should learn a lesson f r o m
the black students; students activism, when
coupled w i t h a legit imate demand, can
produce results qu ick ly . The black students at Hope were con-
f ronted w i t h a s i tuat ion that they f ound
intolerable. They challenged the campus
government, challenged it actively w i t h
sit-ins, w i t h fai lure to fo l l ow campus rules, w i t h refusals to cooperate w i t h the system
as i t now stands. A n d their demands were met. Many po in t to the fact that the black
students 'demands were met because black students were protest ing, and not because
students were protesting. There is probably
a grain of t r u t h in this argument, but surely
it ignores the fact that the d isrupt ion o f
campus procedures by whatever means and
by whomever places great stress on the
campus. A n d the means to remove the
d isrupt ion is to meet students'demands.
T o speak of d isrupt ing campus proce-
dures may seem to many students a radical idea that can lead to no more than deval-
uing the educat ion Hope can of fer . But this
need not be the case. Student activism in
manyforms can be a construct ive inf luence
for p rompt ing legit imate change. Un t i l
students are given the responsibi l i ty for
their personal lives, unt i l the College real-
izes that its pol icy of in loco parentis is
ant iquated and ineffect ive, student activ-
ism and even d isrupt ion w i l l and should
become more frequent.

In the beginning G o d c rea t ed Man,
which acco rd ing to all the latest b i r th c o n t r o l s ta t i s t ics was a big mi s t ake .
A N D MAN S A I D , " L e t t he re be l ight ," and the re was l ight, and Man called this light " f i r e , " and at first it was used to warm him and let him c o o k his f o o d and p r o t e c t him f r o m the wild an imals . But Man d iscovered fire cou ld be used to burn d o w n a fo res t o r burn s o m e o n e else 's h u t or t ree house or a wi tch at t h e s t ake or so f t coal or oil, wh ich made the air t u r n dark gray and b lack . And this m a d e Man s tar t t o cough and his eyes t o run and his s inuses t o hu r t . A n d Man f inal ly said, " G o d , wha t are
you do ing to m e ? "
A n d a f t e r G o d made the rivers and lakes and s t r e a m s and oceans , Man d u m p e d all the r e fuse f r o m the ea r th i n to the wa te r s and it killed the fish and the p l an t s and even the o x y g e n , and the w a t e r s t u r n e d m u d d y and b r o w n and smel led , and no o n e could dr ink f r o m t h e m or b a t h e in t h e m , or even sail in t h e m . And f inal ly Man s h o o k his fist at the heavens and said, " F o r G o d ' s sake , k n o c k it o f f . "
A N D MAN C R E A T E D t h e wheel , and t h i s was good because Man n o longer had to walk t h r o u g h the fo res t s or up and d o w n the m o u n t a i n s or to school . And t h e n Man crea ted the eng ine which t u r n e d the whee l s , and Man n o longer had to d e p e n d on an imals to pull him on the roads and pa ths .
A n d Man called the new c r e a t u r e " a u t o -m o b i l e , " and it changed the face of the ea r th , fo r Man was fo rced to cu t d o w n the t rees and f l o w e r s and p o u r c o n c r e t e on the land to a c c o m m o d a t e the a u t o m o b i l e , and drill i n to the ea r th and the sea to fue l i t , and s o m e t i m e s the ocean t u r n e d black and the air t u r n e d b r o w n , and as the a u t o m o -
bile mul t ip l i ed the re was less space to park it, and it was u n a b l e t o move any fas te r than a horse , and Man beh ind the wheel s c r e a m e d , " G o o d G o d , am 1 ever going to get h o m e ? "
A N D MAN C R E A T E D the plast ic bag and the t in and a l u m i n u m can and the ce l l ophane w r a p p e r and the paper plate and the d i sposab le bo t t l e , and th is was good because Man cou ld t h e n t ake his a u t o m o b i l e and buy his f o o d all in o n e place and he could save tha t which was good to eat in the r e f r i g e r a t o r and t h r o w away tha t which had n o f u r t h e r use.
And p r e t t y soon the ea r th was covered wi th plast ic bags and a l u m i n u m cans and pape r p la tes and d i sposab le bo t t l e s , and the re was n o w h e r e le f t to sit d o w n or to walk. And Man shook his h e a d and cr ied , " L o o k at all this G o d - a w f u l l i t t e r . "
A N D MAN L E A R N E D to spli t the a t o m and t h e n he took w h a t he learned a n d he pu t it in a b o m b to d e f e n d himself f r o m o t h e r m e n , and he set off t h e b o m b to see if it wou ld w o r k , and it d id . A n d Man was very p leased wi th himself because he was safe f r o m o t h e r men and this was g o o d .
But o t h e r men lea rned to spli t the a t o m , t o o , and t h e y pu t it in the i r b o m b s a n d so Man had to m a k e bigger b o m b s , and the o t h e r men had to m a k e bigger b o m b s , and the e x p l o s i o n s p u t r ad ioac t ive ma te r i a l in the air wh ich got i n to M a n ' s f o o d and wate r and m a d e tha t wh ich was nour i sh ing inedib le a n d tha t wh ich w o u l d q u e n c h thirs t u n d r i n k a b l e . A n d again Man b e c a m e very f r i g h t e n e d and sa id , " G o d help us a l l . "
But by this t ime G o d had had it a n d He sent d o w n word to His loyal se rvan t , R a l p h Nader : " N o w , Ra lph , the f irst th ing I want you to d o is build an ark and t h e n . . . "

Margaret Mead attempts to span generation-gap Editor's Note: This week'sa/7c/7or review is wr i t t en by anchor cr i t i -ques editor Robert Kief t . He re-views Dr. Margaret Mead's Culture and Commitment (Natural History Press; Doubleday, Inc., 1970; $5).

C r o w n e d wi th t h e e x o t i c jung le laurels of New G u i n e a and pube-scent Papua , e n t e r Margare t Mead , queen of the a n t h r o p o l o g i c a l Sou th Seas and e m p r e s s d o w a g e r of the cu l t u r e s of parad i se , to brood over the vast abyss of the mid-cen tury g e n e r a t i o n gap.
E N T E R C O O L sc ien t i f i c sani ty into the b reech of e m o t i o n in the pages of her Culture and Commit-ment ( sub t i t l ed " A S t u d y of the Gene ra t i on G a p " ) , which is Dr. Mead's a t t e m p t to r ende r c o m p r e -hendib le , and t h e r e f o r e bridge-able, the gap b e t w e e n f a t h e r s and sons by r e d u c i n g it t o a set of lucid d i s t i n c t i o n s in t e r m s of her science 's c o n c l u s i o n s a b o u t the s t ruc tu re of h u m a n soc ie ty .
Before p r o c e e d i n g , h o w e v e r , t o an analysis of tha t r e d u c t i o n , a few w o r d s of wa rn ing a b o u t t he na ture of th is review, wh ich pur-por t s to m a k e s o m e sort of intelli-gent and re spons ib le eva lua t ion of the work in q u e s t i o n , are in o rde r . First , the wr i te r of this review is egregiously u n q u a l i f i e d t o pass j u d g m e n t o n the meri t of th is book because of his to ta l w a n t of t ra ining in the f ie ld of cu l tu ra l a n t h r o p o l o g y .
H O W E V E R , D E S P I T E his in-abili ty to deal w i th the b o o k ' s scient i f ic a c c u r a c y and the t r u t h of the j u d g m e n t s it makes , he has chosen to talk a b o u t it because of its b road h u m a n c o n c e r n s and impl ica t ions .
S e c o n d , t he wr i t e r of th i s re-view has very s t rong p r e j u d i c e s (wh ich shor t ly will b e c o m e all t o o a p p a r e n t ) r ega rd ing ihz sub jec t m a t t e r of the b o o k . And th i rd , the wr i te r of th is review h a t e s the kind of rev iewer w h o uses his d iscuss ion of s o m e o n e else 's work and ideas mere ly as a spring boa rd fo r e x p o s i n g his o w n .
IN H E R D I S C U S S I O N of the g e n e r a t i o n gap, Dr. Mead ta lks a b o u t t h r e e d i f f e r e n t k i n d s of cu l tu res , each of wh ich is d e f i n e d in t e r m s of the r e l a t i o n s h i p s a-m o n g the g e n e r a t i o n s of p e o p l e alive at any given t ime , and especi-ally tha t r e l a t i onsh ip as it is af-fec ted and d e t e r m i n e d by which of t hose g e n e r a t i o n s is at the t ime
the a u t h o r i t a t i v e basis f o r n o r m s and j u d g m e n t s regard ing behavior in the cu l tu re .
T h e first and oldest of the cu l tu re t y p e s she descr ibes is t he " p o s t l i g u r a t i v e . " T h e pos t f igura -tive cu l tu re d e p e n d s f o r its exist-ence and m a i n t e n a n c e on the ac tua l ( i .e. , phys ica l ly c o n g r u e n t ) p resence of th ree g e n e r a t i o n s and is de f ined by an a b s o l u t e corre-s p o n d e n c e of the life s ty les and e x p e c t a t i o n s of all three .
IN SUCH C U L T U R E S the f u t u r e is u n c o n c e i v e d , and indeed , inconce ivab le , as be ing a n y t h i n g o t h e r than a precise r e p e t i t i o n of t he p a t t e r n of t he pas t . It is a t r e m e n d o u s l y s tab le cu l tu re , in which , even t h o u g h change and even y o u t h f u l rebe l l ion are possi-ble, all change is regarded as the e t e rna l and changeless n o r m for behav ior in the cu l tu re .
T h e pos t f i gu ra t i ve cu l tu re is t ha t in which the y o u n g ques t i on or d o no t q u e s t i o n on ly those th ings tha t are, or are no t , ques-t i oned by thei r e lders (especial ly the g r a n d p a r e n t s , w h o are the e m b o d i m e n t of the cu l tu re tradi-t ion) , and in which the t ransmis-sion of n o r m s of cu l tu ra l behav ior f r o m g e n e r a t i o n to g e n e r a t i o n h a p p e n s in such a way t h a t , as they are u n a n a l y z e d by those to w h o m they are t r a n s m i t t e d , those n o r m s remain be low the level of consc iousness .

A N D E V E N T H O U G H there is still the very s t r o n g p robab i l i ty tha t pa ren ta l a u t h o r i t y will set t he l imits and d i m e n s i o n s of this d i f -f e rence in behavior , there is t he unde r ly ing a s s u m p t i o n that a y o u t h will, on the basis of an expe r i ence d i f f e r e n t f r o m his par-en t s ' , learn his behav ior in a pee r g r o u p and will in t u r n b e c o m e a m o d e l fo r the behav ior of tha t g roup .
T h u s in the co-f igurat ive cul-tu re , a gap be tween gene ra t i ons does exist ; in fac t , it is built i n t o the sys tem. But the y o u t h ' s im-m e d i a t e e lders (i.e. his parents ) are still the f inal a rb i t e r s of his behavior .
T O D A Y , S A Y S Dr. Mead, m a n k i n d is en t e r ing a new phase of cu l tura l e v o l u t i o n ; he is coining in to the age of the "pre - f igura -t i v e " c u l t u r e - a cu l tu re in which the no rms of behavior are set exclusively by the y o u n g , in wh ich the y o u n g lead thei r e lders i n to the f u t u r e because only they k n o w what life in the present really is.
Dr. Mead asser ts that t o d a y ' s w o r l d , the world in which the y o u n g have g rown up , is so radi-cally d i f f e r en t f r o m any world wh ich has gone b e f o r e , and tha t the expe r i ence of t o d a y ' s y o u t h is so radically and qua l i t a t ive ly ( a n d , f o r their p a r e n t s , i n c o m p r e h e n s i -bly) d i f f e r e n t f r o m any prev ious h u m a n expe r i ence , it is, as a re-sul t , i n c u m b e n t u p o n the y o u n g to t h row off the meaningless n o r m s of the pos t - f igura t ive-co-f igura t ive c u l t u r e c o m b i n e i n t o w h i c h they were born and es tab-lish radically new n o r m s that fit the i r radically new l i fe -s i tua t ion .
S I N C E N O N E O F the i r e lders have ever been y o u n g in the world in wh ich they have been y o u n g , the y o u t h mus t look only to themse lves as t he u l t i m a t e au tho r -ities fo r designing and d i rec t ing the course of their own and thei r e lders ' and their p l a n e t ' s fu tu res .
In the pre- f igura t ive c u l t u r e , t h e n , the gene ra t ion gap is so vast as to be unbr idgeab le and intra-verseable by the o ld , and the on ly way tha t c o m m u n i c a t i o n and un-de r s t and ing and in t e rgene ra t iona l peace are possible is f o r t he old t o recognize thei r p r o p e r role as he lpe r s and fo l lowers of t he y o u t h w h o mus t lead t h e m .
T H O S E A R E Dr. Mead ' s de-f in i t ions . T h e y represent a pene-t r a t ing analysis of h u m a n cu l tu re by a keen and d i sc r imina t ing intel-l igence. As a b s t r a c t i o n s f r o m real i ty , as h y p o t h e t i c a l intellec-tual c o n s t r u c t s , they are b e a u t i f u l in the i r lucid s impl ic i ty .
As sc ient i f ic , a n t h r o p o l o g i c a l d i s t i nc t ions a b o u t the way th ings have been and may be in t imes to c o m e for h u m a n soc ie ty , they are mas t e r fu l , valuable and ins igh t fu l ; no m a t t e r wha t o n e ' s b a c k g r o u n d , one can read Culture and Commit-ment with u n d e r s t a n d i n g a n d p leasure ; it is an engross ing and p r o v o k i n g s t u d y .

Teach-ins ineffective by Drew Hinderer
Now t h a t the crisis of o u r e n v i r o n m e n t has vir tual ly sup-p lan ted the V i e t n a m war as t he target fo r consc i enc ious s t u d e n t mora l o u t r a g e , H o p e College has organized a " t e a c h - i n " to he lp d e t e r m i n e h o w it can pu t an e n d to po l l u t i on and re la ted p r o b l e m s .
A P P A R E N T L Y WE have learned n o t h i n g by the fai lure of tha t tac t ic on the V i e t n a m war issue: while I do n o t wish to c o n d e m n teach- ins per se, I d o wish to suggest t ha t they are by na tu r e p r o n e to p r o d u c e n o t h i n g tha t will in fact ame l io ra t e the par t i cu la r k ind of p rob l em to which it is being app l i ed .
Teach- ins can p r o d u c e little t o improve a s i tua t ion such as the e n v i r o n m e n t a l crisis because t h e y by na tu r e mis- locate the p r o b l e m . Teach- ins are r easonab ly e f f ec t i ve devices by which to i n f o r m p e o p l e tha t a crisis s i t ua t ion exists.
U N F O R T U N A T E L Y , T H E peop le w h o are t h u s i n f o r m e d are no t s ignif icant causes of the ne t -work of p r o b l e m s tha t has pro-duced the crisis. Paul Eh r l i ch ' s analysis of the p r o b l e m in t e r m s of individual o v e r - r e p r o d u c t i o n is really a very small par t of t he e n v i r o n m e n t a l crisis, hence an in-a d e q u a t e analysis .
Likewise , the a m o u n t of pol lu-t ion Hope Col lege ' s s tuden t b o d y p r o d u c e s is r id iculous ly m i n u t e . And it is vir tual ly imposs ib le to see any c o n n e c t i o n be tween the s t u d e n t b o d y and t h e e x p l o i t a t i o n of A m e r i c a n na tu ra l reserves, t he p u m p i n g of was tes i n to Lake Mac-a t awa and so on.
I H A V E A L R E A D Y h in t ed at the real cause: n o t only are the i n s t i t u t i ons of A m e r i c a n eco-n o m i c life respons ib le for the en-
v i r o n m e n t a l crisis, but the part i -cular mind-se t of t he en t i r e A m e r i c a n sys t em p r o d u c e s f a c t o r s t h a t legi t imat ize po l lu t i on . In s h o r t , I would lay respons ib i l i ty at t h e d o o r of the A m e r i c a n con -s u m e r e c o n o m y and the c o r p o r a t e s t r u c t u r e tha t serves it.
Genera l M o t o r s sent a g roup of pub l i c re la t ions e x p e r t s to expla in h o w a u t o m o b i l e m a n u f a c t u r e r s are curb ing po l lu t i on . What t h e y did no t say is " S t o p buy ing cars tha t p r o d u c e po l l u t i on at a l l . " What they p r o b a b l y did say is " B u y our new m o d e l s that cut down on po l lu t ion at s o m e cost t o the c o n s u m e r and which d o n ' t r equ i re radical and expens ive re-w o r k i n g of o u r in te rna l c o m b u s -t ion eng ines . "
A N D B E T W E E N the i r t e e t h t h e y also m u t t e r e d s o m e t h i n g a b o u t no t p u t t i n g pressure o n F i she r Body to s t o p spewing s m o k e over G r a n d Rapids , o r F i she r Body will move out a n d leave howeve r m a n y of y o u r f a t h e r s w i t h o u t jobs .
It may be o b j e c t e d that wi th increased awareness , we can exe r t m o r e pressure on the Federa l Gov-e r n m e n t to legislate a clean envi-r o n m e n t on a n a t i o n w i d e basis. Of course , we have a l ready seen h o w well that works .
A N D A F T E R A L L , the govern-m e n t is d i rect ly respons ib le f o r $ome of the most d ras t ic f o r m s of po l lu t ion (nerve gas leakages) a n d suppl ies c o n t r a c t s to c o r p o r a t i o n s tha t c o n t r i b u t e to po l lu t ion ( w h i c h would b e c o m e more ex-pensive if the c o r p o r a t i o n s were requ i red to add an t i -po l lu t ion de-vices). And N i x o n , se l f -p roc la imed c h a m p i o n of big business, is ha rd ly likely to tu rn his back on the i r suppor t in the nex t e lec t ion .
N i x o n did th row a party f o r the ma jo r po l lu t e r s in the Uni ted S t a t e s a few weeks ago, whe re E d g a r Speer of U.S. S tee l asked the rhe tor ica l q u e s t i o n , " I s an add i t i ona l 10% i m p r o v e m e n t in f i sh ing wor th $ 1 0 0 m i l l i o n ? " a n d J o h n Swear ingen , cha i rman of S t a n d a r d Oil of Ind iana , c o n -c luded that the publ ic a lone o u g h t to have to bear the cos t s for all po l l u t i on c o n t r o l ( n o t the ac tua l source of the po l lu t ion i tself) .
A N D M A J O R M O V E S against air po l lu t ion in the a u t o indus t ry (an ant i - t rus t suit b r o u g h t against t h e m for consp i r ing to delay t h e d e v e l o p m e n t of emiss ion c o n t r o l , fo r example ) have been t e rmi -na t ed by Nixon . T h o s e laws tha t exist a b o u t po l l u t i on which are not e n f o r c e d t h u s have a t e n d e n c y to leg i t imat ize it: c o r p o r a t i o n s can s imul taneous ly po in t wi th pr ide to the i r clean record a n d p o l l u t e the air and wa te r .
T h e r e is a lways the chance t h a t po l l u t i on c o n t r o l devices c o u l d b e c o m e a g r o w t h i n d u s t r y , and in fac t several such devices are p ro -d u c e d by subs id iar ies of Genera l Moto r s . But the g r o w t h of t h i s i ndus t ry d e p e n d s u p o n c o n t i n u e d p o l l u t i o n , and w h o is the Amer i -can c o r p o r a t e s t r u c t u r e to cu t shor t a g rowth i ndus t ry?
H O W E V E R , AS the po l l u t i on crisis eventua l ly f inds its causes , and the g o v e r n m e n t and c o r p o r a t e s t ruc tu re s p rove unwi l l ing to re-s p o n d to the d e m a n d f o r a c lean e n v i r o n m e n t , s t u d e n t s might be-gin t o turn to more d i rec t a c t i o n , like p icke t ing and sabo tage .
And if t h a t ' s the on ly e f f ec t i ve s o l u t i o n , m a y b e teach- ins can be o rgan ized to acqua in t peop le w i th those tactics.

DeGraaf thinks today's education dehumanizing
(Continued from page I j
" W A R T I M E B R O U G H T prac-t ica l i ty , and sc ience seemed to be more pract ica l . T h e Fnglish de-p a r t m e n t used to be the largest on c a m p u s , and still is, in t e r m s of the n u m b e r of s t u d e n t s , but the sciences have m a d e great increases in the n u m b e r of facu l ty mem-bers . "
O n e of the most no t i ceab le changes in the a t t i t u d e s of H o p e s t u d e n t s over t h e years c o n c e r n s the c o m p u l s o r y chapel issue, which really d idn ' t b e c o m e an issue unt i l the sixties. Chape l ser-vices o n c e impa r t ed a sense of c o m m u n i t y and cohes iveness t o H o p e College, DeGraaf recalls.
" W H E N S T U D E N T S were asked to n a m e the mos t signi-f icant c o n t r i b u t i o n to the i r educa-t ion at Hope , they n a m e d the expe r i ence tha t was c o m m o n to all of us: t he dai ly chapel service. We had much m o r e invo lvemen t in t h o s e days. T h e Bible was the
center of each chapel exercise , and we m a d e our g r o u p Bible s tudies re levent by app ly ing our s tudies t o life.
"My son also feels tha t chapel was the most s ignif icant aspect of Hope, b u t my g randson (a H o p e College s o p h o m o r e ) rarely goes to chape l . " DeGraaf n o t e s tha t hip-pies have sought c o m m u n a l exer-cises. t ha t d e m o n s t r a t e the same kind of c o m m u n i t y spirit t ha t chapel services a roused on this c a m p u s m a n y years ago.
" D I S C I P L I N E H A S b e c o m e a dir ty word to the y o u n g e r gener-a t i o n , " DeGraaf s ta tes . " C o m p u l -sory chapel is o d i o u s to this gener-at ion because they are not willing to pay t h e price fo r t he b e n e f i t s of chape l . O lde r gene ra t i ons never even q u e s t i o n e d the m a t t e r of discipl ine- fo r t h e m , it was per-f u n c t o r y . " DeGraaf believes tha t this aversion to discipl ine is a react ion against the t y p e of regi-m e n t a t i o n f o u n d in the mi l i ta ry .
