UP! HEAVE!—Freshman exert every bit of energy in preparation

for their meeting with the sophomores at 4 p.m. today.

Frosh, Sophs Will Strain;

Anticipate Old 'Heave-Ho' By George Arwady

There are just two hours to zero.

At 4 p.m. this afternoon will come the big showdown at the Black River. Hope's version of High Noon will pit two 18-member fresh-man and sophomore teams against one another in a fight to the finish for an inanimate, non-offensive length of hemp.

Known as the pull, this event is the culmination of two weeks of rueged practice by the teams and enthusiastic demonstrat ions of sup-port by the rest of the two classes.

Class Pride at Stake

The prize at stake is not the rope, but an intangible quality called class pride. The natural enmity of sophs and frosh will find an ideal release at the pull. No matter which team wins the rope itself, both classes will profit f rom the spirit and unity generated by the pull.

As freshman coaches Ron Krone-meyer . Brad Klouw and Rick Fair , and sophomore coaches Larry De Vries, Pat E a m a n and Paul Hopper completed final preparat ions for the pull, all indications pointed toward a long, grueling struggle. Both teams are evenly matched for size and weight, averaging about 175 pounds a man.

Coaches Agree WhQn head coaches Kronemeyer

and De Vries were queried con-cerning their predictions for the pull, their answers were very sim-ilar. De Vries said that the ext ra year ' s experience might give the sophs an advantage, but joined Kronemeyer in the opinion that in the final analysis the t eam with the most spirit and desire would be victorious.

Both coaches commended their teams for the great effort expended by each individual during the practice sessions. Kronemeyer commented that he believed this year ' s pull would be one of the

longest in recent years due to the comparable sizes of the t e a m s and the great amount of spiri t which each class has for its t eam.

Teams Finalized

The members of the f r e shman team are: John Michel, Dave Wes-terhoff. Kent Candelora. Erwin Johnson, Rush Johnson, Paul Cut-icchia. Charles Felix. Darryl Dmy-triw, John Coffenberg. Dave Chris-tensen. John Kallemyn, Dennis Plockmeyer . Lad McQueen. Rick Vandenburg. Tim Woodby. Dave Ammerman. Tom Mara tea . Rick Maxwell. Mike O'Riordan and Bob Essink.

The sophomore team opposing this group are : Dale Vanderaa, Bill Mills. John Tysse. Gary Rypma, Floyd Brady. John Visser. J im Skivington. Dick Timmer . Ed Hene-veld. Rog Rozeboom. George Cook. Bruce White. Ken Bruggers, Ron Ritzema. J im Sutherland, Ron Borst. Dud Holmes, Chris Plas-man. Lar ry Fisher and Mel Smith.

Dance is Climax

This afternoon when these men s tar t digging their pits the pull will begin. The morale girls will be urging their men on to super-human efforts. The rope will be straining under more than five tons of pressure. The decision is still up in the air and the victor is unknown. The only guarantee is an exciting show this afternoon.

On the night a f te r the pull, the traditional pull dance will be held in the Phelps dinning hall. At this event victors will ce lebrate and losers will be consoled.

Co-chairmen Toodie Finlay and Chris Miller announced a $.75 per person admission fee will be charged for the dance lasting f rom 8:30 till 12 p.m. F r e e re f reshments and the Shaydes of Lynn band a re fea tured. The highlight of the eve-ning is the presentation of the vic-torious pull t eam.

Vietnamese Hash

Democratic Policy Debated About 300 students attended the

American policy forum held in Dimnent Memorial Chapel Tues-day concerning our nation's in-volvement in Southeast Asia.

Carl Oglesby, president of the Students for a Democratic Society, spoke against U.S. policy in the absence of Dr. Marshall D. Sahlins, associate professor at the Uni-versity of Michigan, who had been slated to represent that viewpoint.

Defending the position of the U.S. government were Dale Pfeif-fer and Phil Marcus, g radua te stu-

tion's policy, while Carl Og-lesby listens attentively.

dents at Michigan State University, both of whom worked this past s u m m e r in Vietnam with U.S. pro-g rams for aid to the Vietnamese.

Moderator Jack Schrier. a Hope senior who studied last year at the American University in Beruit, Lebanon, introduced the issues.

He explained that the favorite a rguments in defense of our policy are: That we must protect the rights of the Vietnamese and that without our aid they would be at the mercy of the communists , and that we must prevent Vietnam f rom becoming a springboard for communism. On the other hand, the opposition to U.S. foreign policy argues that we must let Vietnam decide her own fa te in order to minimize our own involvement.

Mr. Oglesby opened the forum with the question, "What have we, as a nation, become if we do win the w a r ? " He proceeded to explain the many ways in which our nation is losing its social conscience. He mentioned the unrequited deaths of 25 civil rights workers in the South and the general lack of sympathy with the plight of minorities des-pite riots in Harlem and Watts.

The U.S. is, in effect , a counter-revolutionary power interested in maintaining the status quo, con-t r a ry to the principles upon which this nation was founded, Oglesby said.

•Mr. Pfeiffer answered that as he saw it, U.S. intentions are honor-able. He stated that although sta-tistics show about 80 per cent of the South Vietnamese as favoring

communism, the natives are non-political and merely show a pref-erence for the name of the com-munist leader Ho Chi Minh, which literally means " the one who lib-e r a t e s . "

To pull out of Vietnam would allow the communists to engulf the country and leave the U.S. open to charges of hypocrisy, Mr. Pfe i f fer said.

Mr. Oglesby rei terated that ra ther than build public works for the Vietnamese which do little good anyway because they can ' t be staffed, the U.S. should look to the cancer which is consuming our own country.

Mr. Pfeiffer brought up the point that , the U.S. now has a responsi-bility to those dedicated South Vietnamese who are taking a stand against communism, and that if we withdraw, they will be massac red as others were in the northern part of that country.

Mr. Oglesby then charged that the U.S. is actually opposing the Na-tional Liberation Front in North Vietnam which is trying to help the people. "Why must we always be a counter-revolutionary pow-e r ? " he asked.

Mr. Marcus revealed that the Na-tional Liberation Front is com-munist-oriented, and if it ever achieved power over the people, they would not be able to expre&s themselves freely.

Mr. Pfeiffer then summarized the af f i rmat ive position by saying, "We are only in Vietnam to help enable the people to live a f r ee l i fe ."

Rage I

Faith Healing Real for Christian Science Coed By Paul Verduln

A growing cry for involvment and commitment is being raised in religious circles today. Evan-gelical Christianity has been call-ed obsolete because its members , developing a nationalistic, mater-ialistic outlook, have divorced sec-ular reality f rom spiritual reality, and then ignored the lat ter .

To whatever degree the accusa-tion is true, it is quite clear that the same charge does not apply to Christian Scientists. Essentiallv, this group believes that God and His expression, man, a re all that exists, ami that all else is an illusion, subject to decay. Thus they hold tha t the spirit or mind can overcome physiological dam-age and disease through " f a i t h heal ing," because the body is a spiritual f igment .

To underscore the fact that re-ligious hemogenei ty is not the case on Hope's campus , and to crea te a more comprehensive picture of the student body, the anchor focus-es on the Christian Science relig-ion this week. Marsha Beebe. a sophomore e l emen ta ry education major from Richmond Heights, Ohio, answers candid questions on

They shall lay hands on the

sick, and they shall recover. ^

Mark 16: 18

what i t ' s like to be a Christian Scientist at Hope.

Question: Why did you decide to attend Hope?

Answer: I came to Hope in order to fulfill my desire to a t tend a liberal ar ts college with a religious a tmosphere conducive to spiritual as well as intellectual growth. This period in life seems to be the time when you are easily led away from your religious beliefs and your moral principles.

Q: Do you attend Hiristian Sci-ence readings here in Holland?

A: I attend Sunday services at the Firs t Church of Christ Scien-tist every week.

Q: Does your isolation from other Christian Scientists on campus pre-sent problems for you?

A: It doesn't d is turb me that 1 am isolated f rom other Christian Scientists since many of my fr iends hold many of the same beliefs as I do, so we have a common ground from which to discuss the theological problem which we share. However, I do regret that I know no one of my own age and of my fai th with whom 1 can sha re the problems peculiar to my fai th, such as ill-ness.

Q: Do you feel that being a Christian Scientist has any impli-cations on your relations with other students?

A: Because of the religious at-mosphere and particularly the em-

phasis on individual growth here , I feel that I have been able to avoid many problems that 1 might have otherwise encountered in this a rea . Students here do not seem to be narrow-minded or intolerant, but ra ther accept the beliefs of others.

Q: I understand that Christian Science teaching does not forbid lis adherents to see a doctor, but that abstinence from such action

faith is not great enough to over-come illness, going to a doctor is not ruled out. It gr ipes me when some people immediate ly criticize Christian Science when they have no idea what our beliefs a re in the approach to healing, which takes even a believer a great deal of t ime and study to unders tand. To use fa i th healing requires an individual effort .

Q: Have you taken any biology courses at Hope? How do you view the things taught there about di-seases and human physiology?

A: I am now taking zoology and next semes te r will be taking bot-any to complete my science re-quirement . I do not believe in the things taught in these courses, since Christian Scientists do not believe in disease and things ex-isting in the mater ia l world, but ra ther in the spiritual e lements of existence.

I do not believe in the existence of a germ that can cause disease. God crea ted us as spiritual beings.

is a voluntary thing, in proportion to one's faith. What are your per-sonal comments on this matter?

A: Through faith and under-stand of God as the Grea t Physic-ian, we substitute faith healing for seeing a doctor. However, if our

Then also came a multitude

. . . bringing sick folks, and

them that were vexed with un-

clean spirits: and they were

healed every one. ^

Student Leadership Conference Explains Campus Organizations

A Student Leadership Conference will be held Oct. 17 on campus to acquaint f reshmen with the pur-pose and function of Hope organ-izations.

Realizing that f reshmen often consider college organizations for upper classmen only, a committee, led by Menno Kraai, decided to provide on opportunity for fresh-men to meet organization leaders and to discuss what part icular ac-tivities take place on Hope's cam-pus.

In addition, while it is recognized that adult leadership often s tems out of experience, said chairman Kraai, it is also clear that fresh-men often bury their talents, either having been frightened by books or excited by the new freedom college life offers. But college life is living among people, learning to work and play together, and finally growing through associa-tions with them, he added.

After the meetings there is a banquet where students will meet •informally with the leaders and

facuJtS' members at their table. After the banquet. Rev. William Hi/legonds will address the group on the topic "Purpose and Involve^ ment.*4-

Freshmen will play a m a j o r role in the discussion groups, held from 2 p.m. to 4:45 p.m. During the afternoon each organization will hold three discussion groups and the participant may attend any three of which he feels he would like to be a par t , said Kraai .

The different groups will togeth-er represent the varied interests of each individual—from radio an-nouncing, to religious life, to na-tional and international govern-

ment, to creative writing. Because part of leadership is evaluation, the program ends with an evalua-tion of its accomplishments, said Kraai ,

He added, "The importance of this workshop cannot be stressed enough. There is no reason for apathy among college students when there are so many things of which to be a part . Sharing in campus life is a way of getting the most out of college."

Students interested in the work-shop may obtain fur ther informa-tion by contacting Kraai at the Emersonian House.

and we do not experience disease. However, I look at these courses as a necessary step in obtaining my occupational goal.

Q: Have you had opportunity to talk about your beliefs with other Hopeites?

A: One thing you cannot escape on this campus is discussion. On several occasions I have become involved informally in discussions on religion in the Kletz and the dorm. I have been singularly im-

pressed tha t they have been ex-actly tha t — objective discussions —and no more .

Q: How do you view the "even-gelical" brand of Oirtatianity as practiced by the students and fac-ulty?

A: On the whole, I don't really feel that they a re commit ted to the concept of Christianity because of their lack in the pract ice of it. To me, just going to church o r to

• To one is given faHh by tke

Spirit; to another the ^Iftg of

I CorinthiaM 12: f

chapel is no sign of commit tment . However, I certainly feel that the percentage of committed individ-uals at Hope is much higher than at s tate schools or non-church-af-filiated colleges.

Q: Has Hope affected your re-ligious views in any way?

A: Hope has in no way changed my religious beliefs, but it has made m e realize more clearly the similari t ies between my religion and the concept of the Reformed Church as presented in chapel, in churches and in discussions with other s tudents .

44The Meaning of it All" — this

was the t h e m e of t h e larges t

Geneva Ret rea t that the Student

Christian Assn. has sponsored.

Over 230 students l istened to

Rev. Paul Fr ies ' address on " T h e Church on Tr ia l " F r i d a y evening at the Re t rea t .

Beginning with the early church Rev. Fries pointed out t ha t the Church's trial has encompassed almost two mil leniums. Critic-

ism of past generations has left the Church t h r e e a l te rna t ives which he s ta ted : It can cap i tu la te and become rat ional is t , it can de-cide to do nothing, or it c an be-come fundamenta l i s t and re t rea t behind the monastic walls.

Continuing, he emphas ized , "If the Church is to become anything in the world, it must become in-volved with l i fe ." He stressed that the insti tutional church of to-day must be reformed or it will

discontinue to be an effective agent

for sanctifving the world. "The

goal of the Bible and God" Rev. Fr ies suggested, " i s salvation and

sanctif ication. Sanctif ication is

more important than salvation. Man and the church need an awak-

ening," he concluded.

Saturday morning J a c k Har-rison. speaking on the implications of " B e a r i n g the Name Chr i s t ian ,"

quest ioned the extent of involve-ment of today 's Christ ian beyond religious walls. He s ta ted that too often the walls of church member-ship present real ba r r i e r s to com-municat ion between men .

Sat isfact ion with the noat , or-derly religious system concerns man instead of the "knowledge and celebration of what Christ is doing in the wor ld ." Engag ing dis-cussions then followed with many of the lay l eaders from the Hol-land a r ea churches guiding indi-vidual groups.

The af ternoon allowed for f ree time volleyball, basketball , foot-ball, hiking, a movie, discussion,

and swimming by a few b rave souls.

"Love — Without M a r r i a g e ? " was Pe t e r Bertocci 's final add res s and was m a d e Sa tu rday to 400 listeners. Fmphasiz ing that sex has no meaning without love or outside m a r r i a g e and a family. Dr. Bertocci continued tc bring to the forefront many perplexing issues. " S e x , " he s ta ted, " i s meant to be a par t of r . n r r i age , not to appease one's appet i te .

" M a r r i a g e involves ihe continual rediscovery of the two par tne rs , sexually as well as intellectually. The mean ing of sex in mar r i age is one that should grow, not dimin-

;'r' Hope Religious Attitudes |« | Pope Paul at the UN

Editor's not^: Besides being an instructor in history at Hope, David Clark holds a B.D. degree and serves as curate of Grace Episco-pal Church. Mr. Clark is also fac-ulty advisor of the Higher Horiz-ons program.

By David Clark A ceremony developed by ab-

solute monarchs was enacted in on anachronist ic setting this week, when delegations to the United Nations took turns in kissing the papal r ing of Paul VI.

Most days the UN chambers ring with cries of constitutional rights and minority grievances. Such cries a r e heard with such r egu la r - . ity at the UN that the world has come to t reat most UN debate a* a formalized ritual with few sur prises and little effect iveness iis solving the divisive issues of out

t ime. Pope Pau l ' s visit and address to

the UN was even more ritual-like in its protocol and plat i tudes than the usual agenda at the UN. Ex-cept for becoming concrete about urging the admission of Red China to the UN the pope did not pre-sent a blueprint for resolving inter

•national conflict But his function was not to do

so. His function was to remind world public opinion that spiri tual

interests as well as national s ta te interests should be represented in international deliberation. His visit also served to remind m e m b e r s of the Roman Catholic Church that spiritual interests cannot be t reat-ed in a vacuum apar t f rom political

ma t t e r s . His visit to the UN should re-

mind all Christ ians that the Church is in the world to t r ans fo rm the world, not just to lead men through it as through a vallev of suffer ing.

Khruschev ' s shoe-pounding act during his visit to the UN will probably be r emembered as the most exotic behavior there , but the m e m o r y of that only serves to point up the fact that Pope Paul did not have to do anvthing b iza r re or unusual to cap tu re head-lines and most TV time on the day

of his visit. The down-to-earth personal i ty of

John XXIII partly- accounted for the intense public interest in him. But m e m o r y of his baby-kissing and famil iar ways serves to point up the fact that the papacy has great effect on world public opinion

even when a kindly fa ther-f igure

is not filling that office.

The anachronism of the ring-kissing homage being enacted at the UN serves to point up the fact that the papacy has retained enor-mous international prest ige partly because the papacy formal ly re-mains an absolute monarchy. Mod-ern popes have been wise enough not to abuse the h>wer which they

theoretically wield.

Vet this is a main reason why they still retain monarchic power: they have not provoked a challenge lo it through actions that would unify a constitutional movement .

There is a long history of at-tempts within the Catholic Church to change the papacy f rom a mon-archic office to an office limited by constitutional means . Medieval kings and emneror s tried to short-- -cuit authority of popes over bishops. The f if teenth century

gave rise to the Conciliar Move-ment and the demand that final au thon ty r e s t . i n regular ly held

/

POPE PAUL VI

councils Jhat would be made up ot lai ty as well as bishops elected f rom each country.

Democrat ic-minded churchmen in the eighteenth century demand-ed constitutional l imitations on papal authori ty. Protes tant church-es have adapted their leadership s t ruc tu re to changing • political theories, but the Roman Church has held to the concept of the pope as a monarch .

The effect on public opinion of Pope Pau l ' s UN visit i l lustrates a

fundamenta l reason that conser-vative Roman Catholics would give for retaining a monarchic struc-ture: a constitutional figure-head cannot symbolize or ar t iculate the interests of a group the way a

monarchic f igure can.

There is no Protestant leader who can fulfill the papal function of reminding world public opinion of the interests of Christianity in world af fa i rs . It should be under-standable that many Roman Cath-ohes are loath to sacrif ice the ef-fectiveness of a monarchic sys tem.

It is obvious, though, to those who have followed the debates in Vatican Council 11, that the Ro-man Catholic Church is not a monolithic s t ruc tu re solidly accept-ing a monarchic s t ruc ture of church government It should be of grea t moment to all interested in political science and sociology, as well in specifically religious af-fairs. to follow the current con-stitutional crisis with the Roman Catholic Church.

To do so is to gain insight into

how an effective international or-ganization is able to retain great prest ige and p o w e r through changes, c l imates of opinion and social organizat ion. The demand for a constitutional reorganization is growing.

But such a modern conciliar movement has not succeeded in d rawing diverse groups within the church into the kind of coalition ,lv<t is a lways necessary for ef

fective political change.

It should be clear at this point that there is no clear-cut " l i be r a l " group doing combat with a well-defined "conse rva t ive" group. The sides change on different issues. Just w h e n "const i tut ional is ts" seemed close to gaining enough episcopal votes to force change, these votes have been split up again by Pope Paul making a token ges ture in creating an ad-visory Execut ive Council.

Exciting s t ra tegy can be ob-served in all of this. But those who observe with unpre jud iced and sympathe t ic interest should realize that the issues involved

concern all Christ ians. The ability of a broken Christendom to witness

in a broken world is a fundament -al issue involved.

L KEEPSAKE D I A M O N D RINGS, SYRACUSE, NEW YORK 13202

I was sitting in Slater ' s last week watching the oil slick go round and round in my cup of coffee. Since the s t eam had fogged my glasses I didn't much notice the bleary-eyed, undernourished f r e s h m a n

who sat down next to me .

"Wha t are we going to do to save the wor ld?" he suddenly sc reamed into my left e a r . It was

a bit unnerving. As 1 pulled my chin out of the

cup I suggested. "We could per-haps take an extra collection in

chapel . . . " "No. I mean w"hat a re we going

to do about The Bomb." At this point he broke down. Between sobs, words like "overki l l" and "mega -ton" were faintly heard throughout

the dining ha l l . ' I tried to cheer him up. "Maybe

Russia will hold a fire sa le and wo can buy out her s tockpi le ." But I must admit that didn' t seem very probable even to m e .

Of course The Bomb isn't what it used to be. Now it's just another word in the (100%) American vo-cabulary along with J. C. Penney

and tutli-fruitti ice c ream. Who in the Pepsi Generation doesn' t think The Bomb is just another new-

dance?

" I t ' s too big to worry about ," I said. ' I t ' s so much more reward-ing to worry about politics at home. Like all the coffee-pot intellectuals who roam the country in the guise of "s tudents (and professors?) who know about Vie tnam." Like the bearded wonder who was here

Tuesday to tell us that The Establ ishment <1 thought at first it was a new bar^ is hypocrit ical.

It was as if someone had just told him that Santa Claus was a lush. Of course the government lies (in nicer circles they call it propaganda). Because we are big,

have a big line; because we are powerful, we use that power. It is a rotten, dirty business and people (the Vietnamese) get hurt. But that is the way the world stands now. (I just hope we hurt less than the Enemy does.- End of bad rebuttal to anonymous bearded debater).

By this time I was thinking so

hard I had to have a glass of Sla ter ' s luke-warm ice water .

The f r e s h m a n continued to be overwrought . However. I noticed Jhat he too had begun to observe oil slicks in his tea .

"Af ter all, right here at school, who is going to save you f r o m The Pull (that watery grave for the underfed or the overconfident?) The Pull is like The Bomb only ^since they don' t dump radiat ion f rom some a tomic windmill into the Black River) it 's heal thier . And who is going to save you f r o m the pr imit ive warmonger ing of a water fight? And who is going to save us when the class of '69 fin-ally gets o rgan ized?"

But by this t ime the f r e s h m a n was fully engrossed in his oil slicks. He kept on twirling the cup to m a k e them spin and mumbled " F a s t e r , f a s t e r . " I hoped it had something to do with a physics exper iment .

The Bomb is only a couple tons of stupidity thrown by one bunch of idiots at another. The odd thing is that College is sometimes the same thing.

Our Man in i iiropo

Semantics and Socialism By Bob Don^a

« # I FROSH OFFICERS—Newly elected freshman officers hold their flrsl

class meeting in unusual positions. From left: president, Norman

Gibson; treasurer, Bonnie Miller; secretary, Gilda Davis; and vice

president, Marty Howell.

Gibson, Howell, Davis, Miller Elected to Lead Freslimen The frosh of '09 arc marching

ahead as the greatest class ever, according to its newly elected of-ficers: President Norman Gibson, vice president Martin Howell, sec-retary Gilde Davis and t reasurer Bonnie Miller. Gibson says, "We v ould like to take up President Ca'vin VanderWerf 's challenge by help :ng each other become some-body- in our college years, through athletics, academics and the com-muni ty ."

Miller, in making her plea to the frosh. says, "It is most important that we have good communication between the officers and the class. All frosh a re asked to leave sug-gestions in my mail box." Howell states, "Our class is young and if we can gain unity through the pull, we will become the biggest and

greatest class Hope has ever had. Some of our a ims include Setting a college -mascot, a radio show on WTAS and possibly a column in the anchor . "

The freshmen officers have po-tential and initiative, as demon-strated by their backgrounds. President Gibson from La Grange. 111., has been active as a com-mittee chairman in class events. Howell, from Rochester, N.Y. was president of his youth group for th ree years and class officer.

Davis, of Charlotte. N.C.. spent much of her ext ra curricular time as United Church youth counselor. Miller, from Western Springs. HI., was student assembly representa-tive and chai rman of her home-coming committee.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden — Many misconceptions which Americans have about foreign countries are the result of differing definitions of terms. One finds that the same word may have radically different meanings, depending on which side on the Atlantic it is used.

Consider the t e rm "social ism." To the American mind this often refers to the increasing activity of particulary the Federal govern-ment in many phases of American life. We often believe that the Scandianavian countries have soc-ialism: socialized medicine, exten-sive welfare services and a pro-gram of so-called "cradle to the

grave securi ty."

When this writer first used the term in the presence of a Swede. I was promptly told that the Scan-dinavians do not have "socialism, which is "Government ownership of the means of production." but ihat these countries are "social welfare states. ' Of course, even if we accept these distinctions we nonetheless find limited socialism here: government ownership of most transportation and the min-ing industry for example. Rut a small amount of "socia l i sm" pre-vails in practically every modern state ' TV A. local utilities in the U.S. ' , so one cannot say the the "Social Democra ts" run the coun-try. "Social Welfar ism," however, is fully developed and enjoys con-siderable acceptance and popular-

ity. In the countries which we call

"communis t , " "social ism." as de-fined by my Swedish friend, does exist and those countries wear the tag proudly, e.g.. Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. In fact , the one sacred cow that exists in all these countries, not to be chal-lenged by any crit ic of society, is

Asking for Money

By Dick Shiels

It would seem to me that Hope College could be doing a much better job of teaching its students to ask for money. 1 mean if we re going to get a "l iberal a r t s " edu-cation, le t ' s learn the liberal ar t .

Look at Washington and you'll agree that it's the only way to get ahead. The big man down there asks for money better than any-body I ever heard of and much of the reason we put him down there was related to that capabil-ity. Let me list some figures.

This man requested $1,465,000,000 for an anti-poverty program and c a m e out with $1,765,000,000. He wanted $260 nvllion for higher ed-ucat :on and they gave him $650 mPlion He said he could get by on S400 million for a rae redevelop-ment but Congress rounded out the figure to $655 million.

Now all this doesn't mean he 's going to spend that much—Con-gress has been saying for years that no agency is required to ex-haust its budget—but it is a good example of adeptness at asking for money. And that ' s the kind of adeptness college-^students in the past have been known to develop. Yet even some of the best of us here at Hope work regularly for

' as little as $.80 to $.85 an hour.

Albion 's Paying More

Albion College is to be commend-ed for its efforts in instructing students to ask for money. Just this month Albion has standardized student pay rates and set an ex-ample for the student by asking all conipanies and departments em-

ploying students to cooperate. The least a . student can be paid

today on the Albion campus is $1 an hour. This "has to be" to com-ply with the Michigan minimum wage, stressed the college business

manager . It works out that donm switch-

board operators are paid from $1 to $1.25 an hour. Employees of the food service company receive the same. Teaching and lab assistants as well as proof-readers receive from $1.25 to $2 an hour. Other school employees classified merely as unskilled labor are paid f rom $1 to $1.50.

Suggestion to the Senate

It would seam sensible to add at this point that possibly the Student Senate ought to consider asking for money. Maybe the Senate ought to ask some from the students without even offering any kind of evening-to-remember in return. Maybe we ought to become philan-thropic and offer only a challenge-

that they are socialist. ("Socialist social relations and the protection of the socialist system of society, for instance, is the first-listed and foremost principle of the new Yugoslav constitution.") Specific ideas of how "socia l i sm" should perform differ from country to country, but the basic concept -social ownership of the means of prodution remains a firm under-pinning of the ent ire system.

Socialism occupies in these coun-tries the privileged position of the term "democracy" in ours. (Con-ceived as representat ive, not only direct, decomcracy) The Yugo-slavs. for instance, describe their political system as socialist de-mocracy ." In this wri ter ' s opinion, the order of those two words in-dicates the respective importance of each ideal Yugoslav society to-day.

In these countries, at least by the ruling groups in the society, "communism" is thought of as the economic system described by Marx, toward which the country is gradually evolving. They do not consider themselves living in a "communis t country"—to them, that goal has not yet been reached.

Another verbal misunderstanding occurs with terminology used to describe foreign policy. There still exists on both sides of the cold u a r an inclination to use loaded ideological words to describe "im per ia l i sm" by the other side In post-war years the fears of the USSR were expressed by a cliche ("Capitalist Enci rc lement") using an economic te rm. The aggression they feared, of course, was milit-ary and political more than econ-omic. We replied by expressing fears of the "Internat ional Com-munist Movement"—by which we meant . Soviet or Chinese Imper-ialism, more than an ideological or economic system.

Perhaps the best way out of this confusion is to describe the foreign policy of a country in terms of foreign relations, not simply on

to - r e m e m b e r - whether • you pay - or not.

This idea comes from Central Michigan University where for seven years the challenge to sup-port a Korean orphanage has been met with student funds.

The orphanage drive meant life for thirty children in the beginning. The number has since grown to

sevently.

But to the student body of CMU the drive meant $2,500 last year and will mean another $3,000 this fall. It has meant putting a down payment on a f a r m and then mak-ing annual payments; it has meant purchasing a truck and sending CARE tool-and-school kits regul-arly; it has meant involvement in something and someone none of the students expect to meet.

This kind of challenge met by Hope students could mean life to other people elsewhere but would also mean—to the Senate—learning to ask for money.

the ideological commitment of tbe society or the internal economic system. This is not to contend that there is no relationship between these factors; it is simply to recog-nize that the foreign policy of a nation doesn't depend on ideology or economics alone. To il lustrate: Yugoslavia pursues a neutral policy of positive peaceful co-exis-ance. China has i policy with clear-ly different objectives; yet both claim to have a "social is t" econ-omic system and "Marx i s t " ideol-ogy.

All this is not to condemn the American conceptions of these t e rms nor advocate the position of the "social is t" s tates in the dis-pute of definitions. The point is simply that many misunderstand-in,'.s have their roots in basically different definitions of important

te rms . To understand terminology is to

see the ideals by which our or another society lives. It is there-fore important for us to realize these differences and seek to ap-preciate the reasoning which leads others to their formulation of def-initions.

The Cultural Wasteland: A Self-imposed Tragedy

An Historical View

Van Raalte Founds College By Barb Koirw

••Hope College students are be-in4' forced to live in the midst of a cultural waste land!" How often have you heard this cry from a distraught student? How many times have you looked at a calen-dar of Hope's cultural events and felt as if nothing really substan-tial were being offered? Are you at all perplexed because the Park Theater will have no foreign film series this semester?

During registration week, Mor-tar Board presented the film "Cit-izen Kane." Attendance at this film was fewer than 150. Several t imes during the past few years, the management of the Park Theater has cooperated to bring to our community some of the finest films of many countries. This semester no film series is scheduled; the response to past showings has indicated that con-tinuation of the series would not prove feasible.

Hope College does indeed offer a variety of cultural activities for students; weekly assemblies, mus-ical events, the Fine Arts Festival, Opus, 'Mortar Board films a n i

Malcolm Cites Theater Plans For This Year

The Little Theater has scheduled a minimum of four plays as well as a series of one-act plays to be performed throughout the year .

Tryouts for the first hvo plays, which will be under the direction of Dr. Edward Savage, are already in progress. "Hippolytus" by Euripides and "The Fa rce of the Worthy- Master" by Pierre Pathelin •wil be presented on November

18-20.

"Hippolytus" was described by J a m e s Malcolm, director of theat-er, as " an established classic and one of the most important plays Euripides wrote." A tragedy, the play is the story of Phaedra and her love for her stepson Hipipolytus.

Mr. "Malcolm said that "The Fa rce of the Worthy Mas te r " is " a very, very early French rustic fa rce about a man who, in trying to dupe someone else, ends up be-ing duped himself."

In February Henrik Ibsen's "Mas te r Builder" will be staged. Mr. 'Malcolm said of the "Mas te r Builder" that is was one of Ibsen 's last plays and contains "obvious symbolism." He continued by say-ing that the play's exact interpreta-tion is "open to discussion."

The theater also plans on doini? "The Fantas t iks" in April. Mr. Malcolm referred to "The Fan-tast iks" as "one of the most in-ventive, whimsical musicals ever to have been produced in New York, The play has been running off Broadway for five y e a r s . "

In addition to the previously mentioned plays, the theater plans on presenting several one act plays throughout the year . The plays will be contempary in nature.

The theater is under the direction of Mr. Malcolm and Robert Weg-ter.

theatrical productions are just a few examples. But still complaints are heard, as the Park film series illustrates most clearly.

There are people op this campus who a re vitally concerned about cultural and intellectual happen-ings; there are people who appear to bo concerned but who do noth-ing; and there are people who have no concern at all.

Throughout this semester , the anchor will feature a number of cri t iques and reviews of works and performances which various stu-dents and faculty members con-sides worthy of special note.

It is fairly certain that many people who read these art icles will go one step fur ther and read the book or sec the play or film which is being reviewed. But is is just as certain that many will not bother to investigate, and that included in this group will be those who com-plain of intellectual bar renness on this campus but who are not them-selves willing to act or to contrib-ute.

The point is s imple: this column will offer several opportunities for intellectual and cultural considera-tion. Like the foreign film series, the worth and success of these art-icles will depend upon the in-itiative and response of the reader .

It is hoped that the contributions of this column will serve as a spring-board for discussion and intellectual growth. The anchor can only print the articles—what hap-pens af te r that is up to you.

By Joyce PollHt

Editor's note: The following art-icle is the first of a series concern-ing the history of Hope College presented by the anchor in con-junction with the Centennial year celebration.

From the land which produced Rembrandt and William the Silent came a people who sought the freedom of America, where they could express their Christian be-liefs and teach their young.

Said their leader, Rev. Al-bertus C. Van Raalte. "The incep-tion of Hope College lay in the earliest concept of the people."

Their school was not a college in the beginning but served to pre-pare sons of the colonists to enter Rutgers College. New Jersey, and to go on to the seminary at New-Brunswick.

Reformed Church Takes Interest

The General Synod of the Re-formed Church became interested in this new pioneer school and be-gan a relationship which has lasted over one hundred years, giving their best minds and hear ts to her cause.

Many men of 1851 viewed this pioneer school built in the wilder-ness of a foreign colony as a futile cause. In consideration of the sick-ness and seemingly over-whelming odds, it could have been; but the determination of h e r leaders proved almost unbelievable under adverse conditions.

There were day« when money was scarce.

They gave. For this pioneer school they gave.

Every Pig Has His Day By Gordon Korstange

Many moons ago in the far-away land of Slate there lived an old fa rmer w"ho was rumored to be of Dut^h descent. This man lived alone on a small f a rm and kept vast fields of tulips and I,0(>9 pigs.

His entire existence w a s en-veloped in taking care of the tulips so that he could feed them to his flower-fancying swine. Now you might think that t a k i n g care of 1.069 pigs would re-quire m o r e than one man. but th is farm-er was excep tional.

He had built a huge pen to hold the pigs, and his enclos-ure contained them so well that they never even thought or cared about the outside world. As a mat te r of fac t they didn't have to think, because as soon as they stepped outside the pen they were butchered.

The fa rmer did have a prob-lem in feeding the pigs, but he had solved this with native in-genuity and the books of a Russian scientist named Pav-lov. He built a small pen next to the large one and connected the two by a gate.

Using Pavlov 's method of

training by repetition and re-ward he conditioned the pigs to go through the gate eight at a time. The eight would gorge themselves on tulips and then go out. letting eight more into the wire dining room. It was a nearly perfect system. The pigs liked it because they could choose which swine they wanted to eat with and dine amongst the same group at each meal.

Of course there were rebels

who pref^n*e^ to ^at the stringy boone grass at the far end of the pen. They held the conform-ing pigs in contempt for their docility and were always talk-ing of a revolution. But nothing

came of it. The f a r m e r soon grew fat and

lazy under this system. He spent most of the day sleeping, confident that the pigs, under the direction .of the old sows, could feed themselves. There was some unrest among the pigs concerning the constant

diet of tulips, but this was con-

sidered normal.

One day the fa rmer failed to *et out of bed. He was usually awakened by nearby chapel bells, but as he had been up late the night before reading "Animal F a r m " the bells failed to disturb his sleep. The well trained pigs marched the first eight into the pen. but there was no food. Grumble. Time

passed and still no food. Double grumble.

The p i g s w e r e hungry and started eat-ing the boone grass. This out-r a g e d the boone regulars . They turned on the other pigs and a terrible batt le began. Gnash! Tear ! Gulp! H m m m

good! Scream, yelp! Out of the pen came the pigs, scream-ing and fighting amongst the tulips and all over the f a rm. Soon it was all over. All the pigs w^ere dead. Wasn't that horrible?

The f a r m e r didn't think so. He quickly- called a chain grocery store and sold all the pork for a nice sum. He then moved to a nice little Dutch city, bought a tulip f a rm and lived out his days fleecing docile tourists.

acres of land. In the first report to the Reformed Church Synod, he declared. "This is my anchor of hope for these people in the fu tu re" giving the school its future name of Hope and the anchor as her official seal.

Walter Taylor came from Gen-eva. N.V., in 1851 to become the first teacher at the school. He immediately organized a Latin class, making it a classical school. During his stay until 1855, so earn-est was he in his endeavor to see that students receive their educa-tion that he sometimes taught and directed the school from his sick-bed. His health finally forced him to return to New York.

John Van Vleck gave the pioneer school the freshness of his youth. A newly ordained minister and grad-uate of iRutgers and New Bruns-wick, he took twenty boys and es-tablished the classical school as separate from the other a reas of study. This new school was named the Holland Academy.

Under the personal direction of Van Vleck, then only thirty years old. the first permanent building on the campus was designed and constructed by 1857. Rev. Van Raalte had travelled east to col-lect $12,000 from churches for the building program.

Phelps First President Van Vleck left because of fail-

ing health and d i e d at 37 years of age. Dr. Phelps became the first principal of the Holland Academy in 1859. Under his leader-ship the Holland Academy was to become Hope College.

At the time Dr. Phelps came , it was a beautiful campus. That year Rev. Van Raalte had enlarged the campus to sixteen acres. Van Vleck Hall, which made the location of the school permanent , was then regarded as one of the most im-posing s t ructures in all of Western Michigan.

Van Vleck Hall served as a com-bined home for Dr. Phelps, a dorm-itory for the students, the l ibrary, the chapel and the classrooms dur-ing this period.

We thank God for these men, for their strength of mind and spirit, for their sacrificial lives, dedicated to a people of the future. Their faith had been in the work-ings of a school not yet established as a college; their hope had been in God.

Dear Editor Readers Speak Out

o e » o ©

1 regret that an opportunity for an enlightening debate and dis-cussion about a vital, pressing international problem during our precious college assembly period was wastefully converted to a ses-sion of bickering uselessly between two opposing vi"ws of the Vietnam di lemma.

Neither side offered anything ex-cept a t tacks against the other, and all "evidence" brought up was carefully, though rather obviously shaded to suit the uses of the party introducing it Neither side offered any idoas toward solving or changing the conditions involved in this d i lemma. one side merely attacked what in its view was wrong with the U.S. Government 's policy toward Vietnam, and the other side simply tore down or criticized the first side's state-ments.

This "deba te" soon became a heated argument wandering incon-clusively from one partial fact to another.

Instead of such a wasteful, in-tellectually empty and narrow use of the lime of Hope College stu-dents, could we have rather speak-e r s who come to us after having more intensively and more open-mindedly studied the situation they wish to discuss, and objectively leveal to us their findings as bases for coming to our own conclusions af ter thoughtful study?

Is it not possible that in this case more complexities have de-termined the present situation than we know about0 And, as for the Government 's approach to this di lemma, m a y we take the attitude of that great unknown Indian sage who prayerfully pronounced these words:

"'May the Great Spirit prevent me from judging m y neighbor until I have walked in his moccasins for fourteen sunrises and sunsets ."

Maybe, with such a tolerant at-titude of empathy, our d ream of world peace and harmony would be more nearly possible.

Rertocci As a philosopher, a theologian

and an educator . Dr. Bertocci has brought to light many of the pro-blems facing each of us as human beings, and above all, as Chris tians. Dr. Bertocci has excellently presented his answers to such basic questions of life And, indeed, his answers serve well 4he task of good "Chris t ian Living."

The enthusiastic messages of this genuinely concerned man have made each of us stop to consider our own lives, especially in rela-tion with other people

Without a doubt, our campus should continue to benefit from people with contribution^ such as Dr. Rertocci has offered us this past week.

This letter is in respor -.o lo the editorials and letter* rrning the discontinuation o f t'u. 'Mile-stone "

First. 1 will s ay 'mi i am in agreement with youi fueling that it h too bad that the "Milestone" is not ready for de hi ion prior to the following fall .lunk, though that we should give <! »se considera-tion to the idea that 'he main pur-pose of this public :iion is not to give a couple of hours of immediate enjoyment to the .student body, but ra ther to recall to mind those days, filled with social activities, sports ana education, whicn occurred five, ten or twentv-five years ago. 1 have seen past graduates of Hope

College look through their Mile-stones and thoroughly enjoy both the book and the memories.

I do. however, feel that some-thing should be done by the new Milestone Staff to gel the book published and distributed by the end of the school year which it covers. 1 realize that this may mean some days with an extra load and some omitted late infor-mation. but I know of schools (hat do publish and distribute their an-nuals by the -'.nd of the school year

Second. ! aat if $9,000 is of such grea: • rtance to this col-lege, sorri' * . • 'ht should be giv-en to sell:.- Milestone rather than givin.. 'he students as a bonus for • to Hope College 1 have *• .•: work on other campuses stration for the first s en" '.he students are asked to - the annual ii they want it. ; >tudents who pur-chase it ar« ^n billed on their s ta tements ' .--es.

This m a tially, cause some problems, .^v. •one has to decide what to < •,:arge—or even before that, if th( ' adents are willing to pay six or >en dollars for a book such as s . produced last year, and hopeful'y will be produced this year The udent body seems will-ing to sit m the cold, sing songs, and pay a dollar or two to see a building erected which may one day house the Milestone office. Why not pay an extra $6 a year to insure the use of that office?

I am sure that the entire student body will join with me in thank-ing the outstanding personality on campus this week. Dr. Peter ten or twenty-five years ago. I

Bugged? So you've been at school for practically a month now and the

folks back home are bugging you for news. And you don't have

time to write long letters and besides that friendly mai lman is no longer friendly because he has to lug all of your demands for letters to your mailbox. So there 's a way out for every lazy college student, inluding you, who doesn't like to write home often. Just slip three greenbacks out of your wallet and bring them down to the confines of the anchor office with the blank below filled out with the proper information. And my. everyone will be happy, even the mai lman.

MARCH FORWARIX—''one halfback Bill Keur (23) takes a h an doff from quarterback Harlan Hyink (44)

in fourth quarter as Hope starts drive for their second touchdown.

Adrian Bulldoeged versity of Illinois, Chicago branch, over Hope for the Dutchmen's second loss of the season. The score was 5-3.

In the first quarter the U of I kicked a goal past goalie Brian BaPey, but within a minute Pierre Sende pushod one in on a pass from Al Griswold for Hope's first tally. The Illini scored again in the first period and the 2-2 equalizer was banged in by Alan " F o x " Griswold.

The second quar ter went score-less, but the Illini again tallied in the third period and again Gris-wold scored, this t ime on a pass from Ja ime Zeas to tie the score at three all.

Just no energy left was the cause of all the action which filled the fourth quarter . High tempers rose as center halfback Fred Schutmatt was excused from the game by the official for yelling at an Illini opponent. A brief sc rap broke out around the Hope goal when goalie J im Knott received a push. Knott returned the compliment and other players were ready to add their assistance.

Dutch Play Olivet Saturday At Home Field Coach Russ DeVette's Dutchman

football squad will entertain the Comets of Olivet at home tomor-row afternoon at 2:00. The Dutch will try to keep their top post in the MIAA. by posting their second win. Last week, the Dutch came from behind in a 15-7 win over the Adrian Bulldogs.

The Comets will be trying to stop a losing effort, as they have lost a Saturday game to the Albion Br tons . However, the Comets should be a real tough match, since they were pre s e a s o n ^ ranked as a title contender. They have shown their strength in pre-MJAA action, but h i v e needed that little extra effort to pull through the victories.. Having been beaten by Albion last week, and playing the Dutch, un-defeated in MIAA action, the Comets should give the Dutch a real tough battle.

The Dutch, on the other hand, w:ll have some revenge thoughts also, as the Comets beat the big Dutch badly last year .

The big prob'em for Coach De-Vette and company will be the of-fense. In their first three games, thev have scored a total of 22 points. Last week, the offense did not score till the fourth quarter , and the week before, the ice was not - broken till the third stanza, with the offendvp unit be :ng stalled

' 1/2 yard line in the 2nd quar ter .

The outlook for tomorrow's game is real good, if the offense can come through, and if the defense can play the same type ball that they have exhibited in the past two weefcs.

Knott with only five minutes left in the game, yet th ree Hope play-ers sat on the bench without seeing action.

" F o x " Griswold played a brilli-ant offensive game as did Dave Piet on the defense who played for the still injured Dave Yntema.

Last weekend Hope's soccer team won it's third game of the season when they defeated (Maryknoll Seminary 2-1. In the second quart-er Pierre Sende scored Hope's first with an assist from Ja ime Zeas. Hope's second goal came in the final period when a shot by Sende was headed by a Maryknoll player into his own goal.

A very tight defense kept 'Mary-knoll from scoring until the fourth period. Pa r t of the reason for the s|>ectacular show by the defense was due to fullback Dave Yntema's persistance in fending off one Maryknoll attack a f t e r another.

Hope's record now stands at th ree wins and two losses. The past two days the t eam has been mending their injuries in prepara-tion for their r ematch with Cal-vin, tomorrow at 2 p.m.

Fourth (Juarter By Jim Mace

Bill Keur proved a welcome ad-

dition to the Hope College starting

football lineup last Saturday.

Keur . a senior from Muskegon, led

all Hope ground ga iners and scor-

ed both Hope touchdowns in the

Dutch's 15-7 win over Adrian at

Adrian 's Maple Stadium.

Stymied for three quar te rs by

the Bulldog defense, the Flying

Dutch broke through in the open-

ing minutes of the fourth quarter

for the touchdown that put them

ahead. Hope pushed across its

second score on its first series of

plays af ter tallying the first six-

pointer.

Adrian had dominated the first half of play with Bulldog punter Bill Foor turning in two sparkling runs on fourth down that caught the otherwise s taunch Hope de-fense unaware. Adrian also scor-

Adrian Edges Runners; Osterhaven Sets Record

Cal Osterhaven, Holland sopho-more, raced to a course record on the four mile Adrian cross country course last Saturday, but his first place effort was in vain as Hope dropped a 27-28 decision to the Bulldogs.

Osterhaven crossed the finish line in 22:58 just ahead of Adrian f reshmen Tom Swihart and Bob Zane. Wayne Meerman, another Dutch sophomore and a newcomer to the t eam, was fourth, while Dannv Howe was sixth, co-captain Dan Berry eighth and Ron Bisson 10th.

This was the second dual meet loss for the Flying Dutch and

their first in the MIAA. The Bull-dogs thus chalked up their second league win. Their first was an upset tr iumph over Calvin.

Hope hosts the Comets of Olivet at the Van Raalte Field course to-morrow morning at 11 a .m. Hope, which is without the services of two of its top per formers , co-captain Gary Peiper and sopho-more Paul Ha r tman , will try to get into ihe win column in league play.

Both Peiper and H a r t m a n have been sidelined since the s tar t of the league season and neither is expected to see action against the Comets.

ed first midway through the sec-ond quar ter .

Roger Davidson recovered a Hope fumble on the Dutch 31 yard line and five plays later fullback Harlis Chavis cracked over from the th ree for the score. Adrian never got inside the Hope 20-yard line af te r that touchdown as Hope's defensive unit turned in one of its finest pe r fo rmances .

Early in the fourth stanza the Dutch made their first concerted drive. Taking over on the Adrian 41 af ter Foor again tried to run on fourth down and was stopped, the Dutch marched in to score af ter 14 plays.

Quarterback Har lan Hyink led the drive with a pair of completed passes, the second a 13 yarder to Charlie Langeland on fourth down that gave the Dutch a first and goal on the Bulldog seven.

Three plays moved the Dutch to the two yard stripe and on fourth down Keur barrel led his way to paydirt . Hyink went for the two point conversion and hit Keith Abel with a quickie to give the Dutch a lead they never lost.

Adrian was forced to punt after receiving the kickoff and Hope took over on its own 46. Nine plays later Keur went into touch down land for the second time, this time from the one yard line. Hyink set up the touchdown with two fine passes, one to Abel for 14 yards and the o ther to Bruce Men-ning for 24 yards.

Adrian got down to the Hope 40 with a couple minutes remaining but Max Schipper recovered an Adrian fumble and the Hope of-fense killed the remaining time on the clock.

Hope rolled up 201 yards total

offense with Keur collecting 52 yards in 14 carr ies . Hyink con-nected on five of 14 acr ie ls for 57 yards and four of the comple-tions led directly to the touch-downs.

Hope hosts the Comets of Olivet at Riverview Park tomorrow. The Dutch, who are now 2-1 overall and 1-0 in the MIAA, will be seek-ing their third consecutive win, while Olivet, who lost lo Kalamaoo 13-6 last week, will be looking for its first league win. The game should prove to be quite a battle.
