Pass resolution

G.R, voters f end An anti-war r e f e rendum

brought before Grand Rapids voters last Tuesday received "overwhelming approval ," with the vote 23 ,058 to 14,021 in favor of the resolu t ion .

SUPPORTERS of the peace proposal consider its victory es-pecially significant because Grand Rapids is a s t ronghold of House Minori ty Leader Gerald Ford , an ou t spoken suppor t e r of President Nixon ' s war policies, according to The Grand Rapids Press.

Ford had earlier objected to the resolut ion on the basis tha t

the wording of the s t a t emen t would render results of the refer-e n d u m meaningless. The ballot quest ion reads: "Shou ld the United Sta tes government declare a cease-fire within the nat ion of Vie tnam and immedia te ly with-draw all American military per-sonnel t h e r e f r o m ? "

Members of the Holland Hu-man Relations Commission and 90 invited guests discussed "Prior-ities for Change" during an all-day confe rence at Marigold Lodge Sat-u rday .

H O L L A N D MAYOR William Lamb set the t enor fo r the day 's business in his welcoming remarks when he charged Holland resi-dents with " in to le rance , selfish-ness and misplaced p i e t y . "

He chided so-called "p ious c h u r c h m e n " for their re luctance to move to improve human rela-t ions within the ci ty. The mayor cited a need for changes in the " rea lm of human l i fe" and the " a t t i t u d e s of each c i t i zen" in or-der to attain racial h a r m o n y with-in the c o m m u n i t y .

DR. DAVID MYERS, associ-ate professor of psychology and chai rman of the HHRC, enumer-ated the objectives of the meeting. He noted a need to establish a " c o m m u n i t y consciousness" that par t ic ipants could take away with them pass on to their diverse individual groups.

He viewed the confe rence as a " u n i q u e oppor tun i ty to pool ideas for positive change" and charged the task groups to " l imit their targets and hit hard object ives aimed at positive change . "

THE PROCEDURES used in discussion were devised by Carl F. Schackow, assistant professor of educa t ion and Dr. John Hopkins , assistant professor of communica -t ion. According to their plan, delegates first met in large groups and moved to small " task g r o u p " commi t t ee s made up of five to eight members .

Hopkins asked that representa-tives remove their organizat ional masks and a t t emp t to put aside their individual needs. He called for "g roup e f f o r t " and uni ty .

TWO MAJOR concerns evolved during the meeting: the need for expanded c o m m u n i t y communi -cation and improved educa t ion . None of the various groups ' find-ings stressed this need more than those of the government -com-muni ty relations task group.

Comprised primarily of govern-ment representatives, members of c o m m u n i t y service agencies and

churchmen , this g roup repor ted large gaps of communica t ion be-tween the of f ices of government and area minor i ty groups. Spanish Americans cited a need for infor-mat ion about the workings of government as they pertain to their c o m m u n i t y .

THE COMMITTEE also urged the fo rma t ion of assistance and training groups to educa te Latin A m e r i c a n organizat ions in me thods of communica t ion through the public media.

Spanish-Americans within this group expressed the view that "Hol land was a city for the Dutch with little room for ' ou t s ide rs . ' " They cited Hol land 's so-called "Blue Laws" as particularly dis-criminating, because by restricting Holland business on Sunday the laws impose the Dutch cul ture on the Chicano. The group has asked that the city a t to rney rule on the cons t i tu t ional i ty of the laws and deliver a decision by January 1.

VOTER registration was an-other topic discussed by the gov-e r n m e n t - c o m m u n i t y relat ions group. Governmenta l sources within the commi t t ee s put the number of registered voters in minori ty g roups at below 50 per-cent . To help alleviate this prob-lem, the group called for voter registration drives and bi-lingual ballots.

Finally, the group proposed that the HHRC be made a char ter commiss ion. Members of the group felt that with closer ties to governmenta l commi t t ee s and more specific tasks, the commis-sion could gain much needed inf luence.

Holland pollution abatement: expensive and slow

ftf'K *1 ,

SETTLING POOL at the

Heinz has yet to make any visible progress toward meeting state pol lu t ion cont ro l levels. Ac-cording to Bur ton Kleinsmith, who is overseeing , the sewage t r ea tmen t project at Heinz, Heinz ' basic plan is to tie in to the city sewer sys tem.

WHILE THE part iculars have not yet been worked o u t , the plan will involve the cons t ruc t ion of abou t $2 million wor th of pump-ing, s torage and perhaps some sort of p r e t r ea tmen t equ ipmen t on Heinz ' p rope r ty .

T h e water would then go in to a city sewer and to the municipal plant where it would receive sec-ondary t r ea tmen t . The facilities at the municipal plant will be ex-panded to handle this waste; ex-actly what kind of expans ion has not been decided.

A C C O R D I N G to Kleinsmith, the city will benef i t by handling Heinz ' e f f luen t . He poin ts out that city sewage is usually some-what alkaline and must be neu-tralized be fo re the bacteria can work on it. Since Heinz e f f luen t is acidic, the city will not have to

Holland Sewage Plant

buy acid to carry o u t the neutral-izat ion.

The facilities on Heinz ' proper-ty will be owned by the city, but mainta ined and opera ted by Heinz. The city will pay the initial cost of this equ ipmen t and the expans ion of the t r ea tmen t plant by selling revenue bonds . Heinz will pay its share on a mon th ly basis m u c h like the sewer tax on an individual. The bill will be someth ing greater than $ 2 5 0 , 0 0 0 a m o n t h , Kleinsmith said.

DAN1ELSON notes that "whenever anyone gets up in the morn ing and looks in the mirror he sees a po l lu t e r . " Thus he points out that even though the projec ts men t ioned above may be the most expensive in the works, the smaller improvemen t s are also impor t an t .

The Holland Depar tmen t of Envi ronmenta l Health is f ighting pol lut ion in several ways. They are ident i fy ing pipes which ille-gally discharge wastes into drain-age di tches and in to the lake. When a pipe is identif ied as an o f f e n d e r it is plugged with

Faculty review challenged

New review plan proposed

Editor's note: This is the th i rd article in a four-part series by senior chemistry major Ken Janda exploring the ecological status of Lake Macatawa. This week he explores the principal efforts being made to reduce pol lut ion of the lake.

In the three-year period f rom January 1970 to December 1972, millions of dollars will have been spent to clean up the e f f luen t that pours in to Lake Macatawa f rom various sources.

THE SUM represents abou t $100 for each resident of the Holland area. Much of the m o n e y is being spent to bring e f f luen t pollut ion levels in line wi th new state regulations.

The Holland municipal treat-ment plant is in the process of adding $3.6 million wor th of sec-ondary sewage t r ea tmen t facil-ities, according to Larry Martin, the plant supervisor. Secondary t rea tment involves the use of bac-teria to eat organic ma t t e r and aid in the sed imenta t ion process.

DURING PRIMARY t r ea tmen t the only sed imenta t ion force is gravity. Primary t r ea tmen t re-moves about 46 percent of the solid in the wa te r ; the new sec-ondary plant is supposed to re-move 95 percent of the solids.

Unfor tuna te ly , phospha tes are not going to be removed com-pletely even by the bacter ia . Martin is weighing his op t ions between using l ime or a po lymer developed by Dow Chemical Co. to precipi ta te the phospha te . Since lime is qui te cheap, and since the po lymer costs nearly $2 a pound , the more old fashioned process will p robably be used, Martin indicated.

CHEMETRON has spent abou t $350 ,000 to add secondary t reat-ment to its pol lu t ion con t ro l system. When ready for use, the system will give secondary t reat-ment to nearly 6 0 0 , 0 0 0 gallons of waste water per day which now receive primary t r ea tmen t only.

According to Nick Bhamini , an engineer at Cheme t ron , the hear t of the system is a 5 million gallon lagoon in to which the wastes will be pumped to be eaten by the bacteria. Bhamini notes that bac-

teria are living organisms which are not accus tomed t o living in an envi ronment of chemical wastes.

IT IS ONE OF the ironies of the pol lu t ion game tha t , in order th help the bacteria live in the harsh chemical env i ronmen t , the company is adding p h o s p h a t e and urea, usually po l lu tan t s them-selves, to the lagoon as food for the bacteria. It is hoped that the bacteria will soon adapt to a diet of pigment wastes so that they will no longer need an enriched diet.

Parke Davis is one of the few companies in the area which has not needed to take large s teps to meet new and tougher regulations. According to Carl Danielson, Parke Davis' pol lu t ion con t ro l ex-pert, the c o m p a n y adds very little waste to the lake.

DANIELSON says that the key to pol lut ion con t ro l is segregation of wastes; if wastes are grouped properly, they can be t reated se-lectively. This means that one waste will not inhibi t the removal of ano the r and vise versa. Accord-ingly, Parke Davis has fou r sepa-rate waste disposal systems.

One sys tem, for cool ing water , leaves the water virtually un-treated. The water is simply pumped in f r o m the lake, treated in a way that re tards algae growth , used to cool e q u i p m e n t and re-turned to the lake several degrees warmer.

ANOTHER system treats water f rom the plant which has organic solvents dissolved in it. Most of these solvents are removed and reused in the plant . A third system treats the sani tary wastes from the 370 employees and the ki tchen. These wastes are given secondary t r ea tmen t involving the use of bacteria.

Most of the more dangerous wastes are p u m p e d down deep wells and are s tored in l imestone strata which already con ta ins con-cent ra ted salt water . Cheme t ron also depends on deep wells to dispose of its more toxic wastes which are p u m p e d to sands tone st ra ta

WASTES WHICH are pumped down these wells include sulfuric acid, hydroch lor ic acid, copper and various types of salts and organics.

S t u d e n t Congress passed a res-o lu t ion Wednesday calling fo r the creat ion of a c o m m i t t e e review board and the subsequent elimina-tion of facul ty review.

THE RESOLUTION was sub-mi t ted by S tuden t Congress Presi-dent Bob Sco t t , and Mark D e R o o and Chuck Cousineau. According to t h e proposal , the review board would be an integral part of the boa rd -commi t t ee s t ruc ture . It would have review power over the o ther boards but would not have direct pol icy-making func t ions . The review board could review all policy decisions made within the boa rd -commi t t ee s t ruc tu re .

Decisions would be reviewed upon the Congress* receipt of a pe t i t ion conta in ing the signatures of 20 percen t of the facul ty or 20 percent of the s t u d e n t body . Fac-ulty pet i t ioners would be re-s tr ic ted to those having voting rights unde r Sect ion A1.1.1 of the facul ty h a n d b o o k . S tuden t peti-t ioners would have to be full t ime s tuden ts .

THE PROPOSAL provides tha t the review board would mon i to r the boa rd -commi t t ee s t ruc ture and insure its p roper func t ion ing . This will include providing aid to boards and c o m m i t t e e s request ing

cement . Other activities involve forcing people wi th faul ty septic tanks to h o o k up to the city sewage system if it is available in their area.

THE DEPARTMENT en courages extens ion of city sewage service to people and f i rms to w h o m it is not now available. In the last five years, 12 miles of new sewage pipe have been laid and 637 new connec t ions have been made.

In o ther ac t ion this summer , the O t t awa C o u n t y sheriff has enforced the ban on dumping raw sewage f rom boa t s in to the lake. Also, the c o u n t y commissioners are prepar ing to require sanitary sewer hook-ups fo r the u rban area on the nor th side of the lake, which now depends entirely on individual septic tanks.

WHILE THIS is not an ex-haustive survey of the types of things being d o n e to abate pollu-tion, it i l lustrates the type of action which is necessary and pos-sible. Progress on envi ronmenta l f ron t s o f t e n seems very slow.

The compl ica ted na ture of the e f fo r t s is ref lected in the s i tuat ion at the munic ipa l electric plant . The Board of Public Works has been i n f o r m e d tha t they will have only 10 to 20 percent as much natural gas available to them this year as last year.

AS A RESULT, they will be forced to burn more coal in their boiler, which is no t equipped with a smoke scrubber . The origin of the gas shor tage is rooted in na-tional policy regarding tax credits to gas producers , l imitat ions on impor ts and o the r complex topics.

Everyone mus t realize that cleaning up the env i ronment is an ex t remely complex problem. We must balance our impat ience to see progress wi th our willingness to work for it.

Scott presents proposal

AdAB to study review plan

D E F E N D A N T NEAL FREEDMAN is quest ioned by Judicial Board Chief Justice Mike Boonstra during Wednesday's hearing.

Judicial board hears Freedman

case; guilty plea submitted Neal Freedman pleaded guilty

at a Judicial Board hearing last Wednesday to charges that on Oct. 18 he turned over a table being used by U.S. Marine Corps recruiters in the Kletz area of the DeWitt Cultural Center . The board will render its verdict Wed-nesday in the Student Conference Room in the DCC.

Chief Justice Michael Boonstra opened the hearing by reading the charges against Freedman. Boon-stra stated that Freedman had overturned the table, spilling bro-chures on the floor, and returned to his seat. He said that the Marine recruiter had then ap-proached Freedman and asked for his name.

Freedman refused to tell the recruiter his name, Boonstra said,

adding that the Marine obtained Freedman 's name from other per-sons in the Kletz and contacted the office of the dean of stu-dents.

Af ter reading the charges Boonstra asked Freedman to enter his plea. Freedman replied, "Much to your de l igh t -gu i l ty . "

Board member and Associate Dean of S tudents Michael Gerrie asked Freedman what , if any, personal reasons he had for turn-ing over the table.

Freedman said, "You know the t imes we live in, and some of you know how I feel about t h e m . " When asked what he thought im-mediately before he turned the table over, the defendant replied, "I don ' t think it would help you if I went in to my deliberations before the a c t . "

A proposal to replace faculty review with review by a commit-tee composed of students, faculty and administrators was presented to the Administrative Affairs Board by Student Congress Presi-dent Bob Scott last Monday.

THE BOARD deferred con-sideration of the proposal to its next meeting, Nov. 15. Scott stated he was presenting the pro-posal because of the failure of the ad hoc communi ty review com-mit tee to bring a plan to the board. The ad hoc commit tee was appointed last spring while the AdAB was considering a proposal to replace faculty review with review by a "communi ty assem-b l y " composed of the members of the three policy-making boards. Dr. Cot ter Tharin is chairman of the ad hoc commit tee .

THE MEMBERS of Scot t ' s proposed "Communi ty Review Board" would be the dean for academic affairs, the dean of stu-dents , the president, 12 faculty members ( four f rom each divi-sion) and six students.

Review action could be re-quested either with a peti t ion containing the signatures of 20 percent of the faculty or 20 per-cent of the s tudent body. Two-thirds of the commit tee would be required to oppose a measure in order to veto it.

IN ADDITION to its review funct ion , the proposed Commun-ity Review Board would "keep an overview of the board-commit tee

s t ructure to insure its proper func-t ioning."

In other action at Monday's meeting. Dr. Harrison Ryker sug-gested that the AdAB review the operat ion of the commit tee struc-ture. He said tha t a review of the system after three years was re-commended in the report of the Special Commit tee on Commit tee Structure which established the present organization.

AFTER BRIEF discussion, AdAB chairman Alvin Vander-bush stated that the possibility of investigating the operation of the commit tee s t ructure would be placed on the agenda for the Nov. 15 meeting.

The greater port ion of the meeting Monday was devoted to discussion of two items brought by Dr. Henry tenHoor : "Discus-sion of changes in or addit ions to the summer session" and "Discus-sion of the place of the executive staff in the Hope College commit-tee s t ruc ture ."

TEN HOOR STATED that two things should be discussed regarding summer school. The first was "How will the May in-

terim session affect the regular summer session." The second was how to maintain or increase en-rollment in summer school. Ten Hoor said that "across the coun-try summer school a t tendance is d o w n . "

Dean for Academic Affairs Morrette Rider noted that the regu-lar summer session should start immediately after the May session so that s tudents would be able to remain on campus for both.

AFTER MORE discussion, Chancellor William VanderLugt moved that a commit tee be ap-pointed to study the conten t , dates and recruiting procedure of the summer session. The mot ion passed.

Regarding the executive s ta f f , tenHoor said that he had been informed that the "people in ex-ecutive staff posi t ions ," that is, administrative personnel with few pol icy-making responsibilities, "f ind it difficult to communica te their needs and what they feci would be good for their wel fare ."

The board took no action re-garding the executive staff.

Lower than elsewhere

DCC game prices studied by Leslie Carry

The prices in the DeWitt Cul-tural Center gameroom may seem a bit high to you, but according to John Jackson, director of s tudent activities, the fees charged for bowling, ping-pong and pool at Hope are lower than at most schools with similar facilities and enrol lment .

THE PRICES for pool and bowling were researched last year by student Craig Neckers in antici-pation of the opening of the cultural center in the fall. Surveys which included such questions as "how much do you charge for e q u i p m e n t " and " d o you charge by t ime or by game" were sent out to colleges in Michigan and to out-of-state schools such as the University of Illinois and Oberlin College.

Huttar publ i shes

col lect ion of re l ig ious essays

Dr. Charles Hut tar , chairman of the English depar tment , has published a collection of 20 orig-inal essays on literature and the Christian fai th entitled Imagina-tion and the Spirit.

G A T H E R E D AS A tr ibute to Professor Clyde Kilby of Wheaton (111.) College the 500-page volume includes contr ibut ions by profes-sional colleagues of Kilby and former s tudents .

Several of the essays are on C. S. Lewis, the Oxford Christian apologist whose works have been one of Kilby's chief scholarly in-terests. One piece on Lewis's " N a m i a " stories for children presents drawings by Lewis and o ther previously unpublished manuscript material.

Other contr ibut ions center around contemporary writers such as Bernard Malamud, Flannery O 'Connor and Howard Nemerov. Studies of older writers in the "Christ ian t radi t ion" range f rom Chaucer and medieval lyrics to Wordsworth and Coleridge.

In addit ion to editing the volume, Hut ta r contr ibuted an es-say on "Samson ' s Ident i ty Crisis and Mil ton ' s . "

Hut ta r began work on the vol-ume in the spring of 1966, just before joining the Hope English facul ty .

The results of the survey were studied and an experimental scale was drawn up by the Social Activities Commit tee . Neckers ' re-commended price for pool was $1.20 per hour, but SAC decided to try 50c per half-hour.

THE AVERAGE cost for bowl-ing used by the schools studied was between 50c and 55c per game and 20c for shoe rental. However, SAC decided to have lower prices of 45c per game and 15c for shoes.

If any prices are raised, it will be the bowling prices, Jackson said. "The equipment is expensive and there is a constant need for a supervisor skilled in maintenance essential for daily upkeep, which adds an extra expense because the supervisor must be trained for this purpose ," he said.

ACCORDING TO Jackson, the price of ping-pong, currently Ic per minute, probably will be low-ered. He noted that the price was arbitrarily determined because initially there were no criteria for establishing costs.

"The conflict with s tudents seems to be that they feel their activities fee should cover, at least partially, the cost of their recrea-tional facilities," he stated.

JACKSON WENT on to say that only a small por t ion of the activities fee remains to defray recreational costs af ter it is di-vided up between other s tudent activities including Student Con-gress, athletics. Opus, Milestone, anchor and general en ter ta inment

such as concerts and

"There is constant re-evalua-tion of the prices," Jackson added. Meetings are held with the activities depar tment regularly in an a t t empt to achieve a satisfac-tory balance between mainten-ance, providing adequate recrea-tional services and the limited budget of the average college stu-den t , he said.

An exhibi t ion of etchings, li-thographs and silkscreens by James Steg is on display in the gallery of DeWitt Student and Cultural Center .

Steg, who did his undergrad-uate work at Rochester Inst i tute of Technology and graduate work at the University of Iowa, is chair-man of the pr intmaking depart-ment at Tulane University of New Orleans.

Over the last two decades his work has been included in hun-dreds of American exhibi t ions in addition to foreign exhibi t ions in England, France , Italy, Sweden, Austria, Germany, Spain, India, Pakistan, Japan and the Philip-pines.

One-man exhibi t ions of his work have been held at the Dallas Museum of Fine Arts, the Mun-son-Williams Proctor Inst i tute , the Weyhe Gallery, New York Ci ty;

the Delgado Museum, New Or-leans; and the Associated Ameri-can Artists Gallery, New York City.

Steg is considered one of the first American printmakers to ap-ply the commercial pho to transfer techniques of magazine and news-paper product ion to the fine arts, particularly in his etchings and silkscreens.

HHRC conference Discussion at the Holland Human Rela-

tions Commission conference Saturday at Marigold Lodge revealed a disparity be-tween the professed spirit of Christian love and brotherhood on which Holland was founded and the actual attitudes of many Holland citizens toward their Chicano neighbors. Chicano representatives repeat-edly pointed to the imposit ion of the Dutch culture on their own and the result-ing frustration they experience.

They cited the so-called 'blue laws' as a prime example of the town's efforts to maintain cultural un i formi ty . These laws restrict Holland's business and recreation on Sunday-a day for recreation and enjoy-

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

The Spanish-Americans also voiced con-cern that in nearly every facet of commun-ity life they are forced to accept another culture and deny their own. A t the HHRC conference proposals were presented for recruitment of bi lingual teachers, school-

parent bi-lingual liaisons, media presenta-tions in Spanish, and bi-lingual ballots as means to partially alleviate this problem.

The conference also showed that some Holland citizens are becoming aware that this problem exists and are wi l l ing to take steps to change the situation. This was evidenced in the opening remarks by Mayor William Lamb, who charged the conference to work to effect changes in the realm of "human life and the attitudes of each individual." HHRC chairman David Myers reiterated the urgent need to estab-

lish a "communi ty consciousness." In line wi th these goals, many members of the discussion groups not only sought to out-line steps to be taken but also pledged t ime and money to help implement the ideas.

Act ion of the employment group was a good example of this spirit. Influential people from organized labor, government and area industry pledged to meet together wi th in the month to initiate proposed employment application review and em-

ployer education programs. Those in the housing group promised to begin work on the proposed booklet informing tenants and landlords of their rights and responsi-bilities.

To institute these and similar much needed changes, Anglos must be wi l l ing to sacrifice their long-standing autonomy in and power over the structure of commun-ity resources and activities and to allow members of the minor i ty groups some latitude to express their own cultures. Area churchmen represent a great potential power in the implementation of the pro-posed changes. As the founders and sus-ta ined of present policies which discrimi-nate against their minor i ty group neighbors these people have a great responsibility to be the fulcrum in reform.

The G.R. vote The overwhelming approval of an anti-

war resolution in the Grand Rapids elec-t ion last Tuesday shows that the growing alienation with American involvement in Southeast Asia has finally found its way down to the polit ical grass roots. The electorate demonstrated significant disgust wi th the present administration's Indo-china policy.

However, it is apparent that the elector-ate of Grand Rapids has not become radical. There is l i t t le doubt that at this point no concerted opposit ion exists to the Ford-style conservative Republicanism. The vote does not represent an essential alteration in the polit ical complexion of Grand Rapids.

What the vote indicates is that Grand Rapids' voters are t ired of the war. It also demonstrates that a meaningful anti-war response can be gained in tradit ional ly conservative areas. No longer can such

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

These election results serve to i l luminate new political possibilities for the Holland area. It would appear that if a referendum similar to the Grand Rapids proposal were introduced on the Holland ballot next spring it would pass. This would exert polit ical pressure upon Holland's Congress-man Guy VanderJagt.

In view of Ford's and VanderJagt's close aff i l iat ion w i th the present administration, this pressure possibly could effect concrete results. Both Congressman Ford and Con-gressman VanderJagt are vulnerable to pub-lic opinion. A demonstration of major i ty opposition to the war diminishes their abi l i ty to vocally support the Nixon admin-istration in any attempt to discontinue withdrawals or escalate the war ef for t . In turn this l imits the administration's abi l i ty to pursue such policies by isolating Nixon f rom the sources of his support.

Readers speak out

Time for rejoicing For the last few days, I have hardly

been able to tu rn a round wi thou t running into the same old theme .

I am told tha t all a round me lies evil, f rus t ra t ion , meaninglessness, helplessness and despair. " L o o k a round y o u , " people

mm wm i

T f

say, "See how bad the world is." I am told by some people that no th ing can be done about it.

I am told by o the r people that Chris-t ianity is the answer tha t will rid my world of all its evil and despair . But I am hearing this so much that I canno t help wonder ing why people have to keep repeat ing it. Perhaps it must be pointed ou t to me that the world is far f r o m perfect or I would not not ice the sorrows of the world. But once I have not iced t h e m , must 1 be made to sink in despair myself because I live in such a world? Must 1 be forever looking at the evil and f rus t ra t ion and forget abou t everything else?

1 don ' t believe 1 must . If I feel helpless and despairing, what can 1 do a b o u t the evil in the world a round me? I will th ink I can do no th ing , and the re fo re will no t even t ry . Add one more person con t r ibu t ing t o the p rob lem, and subtract one more person f rom among those who jus t may be able to help solve it.

God has made all c rea t ion , including all men everywhere . All a round me I see his mi rac l e s - a t ree growing, a little girl playing house , a simple math p rob lem being work-ed by a mind so complex that it will never be comple te ly u n d e r s t o o d . All a r o u n d me 1 see clues for hope .

I think tha t many Christ ians have the wrong a t t i tude today , and those of us on Hope ' s campus are no excep t ion . The Bible is cons tant ly telling us to rejoice. "This is the day which the Lord ha th m a d e ; we will rejoice and be glad in i t , " (Psalm 118:24) . He also made this life, let us rejoice and be glad in it. "Re jo ice eve rmore , " (1 Thessa-lonians 5 :16) .

Let ' s not spend t o o much time in sorrowing over the t roubles in the world . We must sor row over t hem or we would never try t o ease or e l iminate t h e m , but we can still f ind t ime for rejoicing.

Nixon's schizophrenia by A r t Buchwald

Copy r igh t © 1 9 7 1 , Los Angeles T imes Synd ica te

President Nixon was working in the library at Camp David on Phase III of his economic game plan when the Old Nixon came out of the f i replace.

" O h , i t 's y o u , " President Nixon said, slightly annoyed .

" W H A T ' S THIS I hear about you going t o C o m m i e C h i n a ? " the old Nixon said.

" I t ' s no sec re t , " President Nixon said. " T h e whole world k n o w s abou t i t . "

" H o w could y o u do this t o m e ? " the old Nixon cried. " I 've fought the Commies since I was in Congress. I sent Alger Hiss to jail. I smeared Helen Gahagan Douglas as a Red. I made speeches against the fellow travelers in America . And now you 've des t royed eve ry th ing . "

" D I C K , " THE President said, " i t ' s a whole new ball game. There are 8 0 0 million Chinese peop le , and t h e y ' r e now in our league ."

"Why do we have to play ball with t h e m ? " the old Nixon asked. "We haven ' t p layed with t h e m for 25 years . Do y o u k n o w what I would have done if a Demo-crat ic President a n n o u n c e d he was going to Pek ing?"

" D I C K , PLEASE lower your voice. You ' l l wake up the Secret Service m e n , " the President said. "Things have changed since y o u were in charge. Y o u see, the Chinese have the b o m b . I t 's hard to ignore s o m e o n e when t h e y have the b o m b . If we can build a bridge be tween America and China , it will give the Soviets someth ing to worry a b o u t . "

" I was going to speak t o you about t h a t , " the old Nixon said. " I unders tand y o u ' r e going t o Moscow, t o o . "

" T h a t ' s cor rec t . I will go to Moscow some t ime a f t e r I go to Pek ing ."

" L E T ME G O T O Moscow," the old Nixon begged. " I ' d like to get Khruschev in the ki tchen again and really give him a piece of my m i n d . "

"Dick , I d o n ' t k n o w how to break this to you , but Khrushchev passed away. Besides, he hasn ' t been in charge for several years. There is a whole new team there . They have a good defense , and they have a very tough l ine."

" O K A Y , SO LET me go in y o u r place. I'll point out the d i f fe rence be tween their lousy system of government and o u r great capitalist soc ie ty , " the old Nixon said.

"I d o n ' t th ink it would have much meaning, Dick. The purpose of my trip to Moscow is to build bridges with the Soviets so the Chinese have something t o worry a b o u t . "

" Y o u ' v e gone s o f t , " the old Nixon cried. " T h e only thing the Commies under -stand is s t rength . You have to nuke ' em, before they nuke u s . "

" D I C K , IT 'S EASY to say tha t when you ' r e no t President of the United States. But I want to go d o w n in his tory as the man w h o gave America a genera t ion of peace . "

" Y o u amaze m e , " the old Nixon said. "I never t hough t I 'd see the day when a Nixon would be talking peace with Godless C o m m u n i s t s , "

" L o o k , I 'm very b u s y , " the President said. " I s there any th ing else you wan ted t o discuss?"

" Y E S , T H E R E IS. How come you let the American Bar Assn. shaf t you on y o u r Supreme Cour t a p p o i n t m e n t s ? "

"I d o n ' t k n o w what you ' r e talking a b o u t , " the Pres ident said. " I t was always my in ten t ion to appo in t Powell and Rehn-quist to the c o u r t . "

" W h o are you kidding? This is me . Tricky Dick, you ' r e talking to . Y o u came up with some of the most mediocre candi-dates in the c o u n t r y , and they ran all over y o u . Y o u looked worse than the New York Giants against the Philadelphia Eagles last week . "

The Pres ident ' s face went red . " Y o u sure k n o w how to h u r t a guy . "

anchor review

'Zelda': honest biography of a woman and an era Editor's note: This week's anchor review is wr i t ten by critiques edit-or Kay Hubbard. She reviews Zel-da by Nancy Mi l ford (Harper and Row, 1970).

Nancy Milford begins her bi-ography of Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald wi th a q u o t e f r o m F. Scot t Fi tz-gerald 's general n o t e s to The Last

Tycoon: "B iography is the falsest of the a r t s . " She is fully aware that t ry ing to cap tu re the essence of the w o m a n Gerald Murphy called " a n Amer ican va lue" is a nearly impossible under tak ing .

SHE WRITES, "What was it like to come to New York City in the spring of 1920, fresh ou t of Alabama, be fo re your twent ie th b i r thday? And marry Scott Fitz-gerald, who was going to name the new decade the Jazz Age and make you the first American Flap-per?

" H o w cur ious that the same w o m a n w h o kissed men on fire escapes because she liked the shapes of their noses or the cut of their d inner j acke t s would also spend hours drawing Scot t pic-tures of Ga t sby , drawing him a-gain and again unt i l her fingers ached and unti l Scot t could see h im. Certainly we knew more about Gloria and Sally Carrol and Nicole Diver than we did about Zelda F i t zge ra ld . "

ADMITTING THE l imitat ions of her under t ak ing , Nancy Milford wro te this b iography. The work is well-researched, thoroughly docu-mented and genuinely moving.

She accepts the legendary qual-ity of the Fi tzgeralds and the

t e m p e s t u o u s era of which they were a part and tries to cap ture some of the essential quality of that legend. R a t h e r than forc ing her personal in te rp re ta t ion of Zel-da 's l ife on the reader, Nancy Milford utilizes the personal remi-niscences of more t h a n 100 people w h o knew the Fi tzgeralds. When memor ies con t r ad ic t , all versions of the incident are repor ted .

T H E A U T H O R also makes ex-tensive use of Fitzgerald corres-p o n d e n c e and b o o k s and articles wri t ten by the pair. Careful ly grounded in as object ive a base as possible, a c o n f u s e d , fascinating por t ra i t of Zelda Fitzgerald, the "Amer i can girl living the Ameri-can d r e a m " who "became made within i t , " emerges.

The book is divided into fou r parts. The first is ent i t led "Sou th -ern Gi r l " and deals with the first 20 years of Zelda 's life. Her fa the r was a well-respected, reserved judge, and it mus t have been dif f icul t for him to accept the wild ways of his youngest daugh-ter.

MRS. M I L F O R D writes: " F o r her par t , even as a child Zelda was not unaware of the effect she created. She possessed early a certain c o m m a n d over others , making them do what she wanted them to. She also had a knack of drawing a t t en t ion to herself. Sto-ries abou t her escapades abound in M o n t g o m e r y . "

As Zelda grew older , her notor -iety grew. " S h e necked, she smoked , and she drank gin, if there was any, or corn l iquor cut

with Coke, if there w a s n ' t " All of this was in react ion to an age not far removed f rom Victorianism in a par t of t h e count ry renowned for the " p r o t e c t i o n " of the pur i ty of its white women .

Z E L D A S A Y R E met Scott Fitzgerald just a m o n t h a f t e r her graduat ion f r o m highschool . He was s ta t ioned in Montgomery wait ing to be shipped overseas to fight in the Great War. T h e war ended before his orders came. Af te r a wild, disjointed cour tship , the t w o were married, and Zelda left the sheltered existence of Alabama for New York City.

The second section of the book , " T h e T w e n t i e s " tells of the dazzling years when Scot t ' s liter-ary r epu ta t ion soared, and the Fitzgeralds were the darlings of the sophis t icated set. These were the days of endless parties, drama-tic scenes, d runken brawls and arrogant def iance of any limita-t ions that anyone tried to warn them of.

T H E R E IS A desperat ion in this part of the biography, as if the Fi tzgeralds knew that the world would not indulge them forever. They were almost driven to get whatever they could f rom life before it was t oo late.

They lived a m o n g the expatr i -a tes on t h e Riviera as if "living well was the best revenge for not living fo rever . " But the f rant ic pace of the glamorous life they had cre-ated fo r themselves eventually wore t hem down. Scott f o u n d it impossible to f inish Tender is the Night, and Zelda began to lose all touch wi th reality.

" B R E A K I N G D O W N " is the third part of the book. This sec-tion relates the struggle of Zelda Fitzgerald to mainta in her sanity. She never complete ly recovered f rom her first b reakdown.

Fitzgerald wro te in Tender is the Night, "One writes of scars healed, a loose parallel to the pa thology of the skin, but there is no such thing in the life of an individual. There are open wounds , shrunk somet imes to the size of a pin-prick, but w o u n d s still. The marks of suffer ing are more comparab le to the loss of a finger, or of the sight of an eye. We may not miss t h e m , ei ther , for one minu te in a year, but if we should there is no th ing to be done about i t . " So it was with Zelda.

SHE WROTE JUST before her b reakdown that "success was the goal for this generat ion and to a start l ing extent they have a t ta ined it, and now we venture to say tha t , if int imately approached .

nine in ten would confess tha t success is only a decora t ion they wished to wear ; what they really wanted is someth ing deeper and richer than t h a t . "

She moved f u r t h e r and fu r t he r away f rom reality, and even though she was considered im-proved enough to re turn to Mont-gomery to live with her m o t h e r a f te r Scot t ' s dea th ( the f o u r t h sect ion of the b o o k - " G o i n g H o m e " ) , she never adjus ted to her quie ter , less dramat ic life. She died in a fire in an insane asylum.

Z E L D A IS informat ive , en-lightening and emot iona l ly mov-ing. As a sidelight to Fi tzgerald 's work , it is a valuable book , in-deed. However, to unders tand the passions and the dis i l lus ionments of the Jazz Age, it would be more rewarding to read Fi tzgerald 's novels.

Nancy Milford would be the first to admit that Zelda is a source book fo r an era that Fitz-gerald's novels por t ray . John Peale Bishop described the writers of that era by saying, "Moral ly , they were, perhaps, the last romant ics , and it may be that the worst enemy the romant ic has to fear is t ime. Or it may be tha t , like the earlier Romant ics , they did not know enough. But at least they knew their own p r e d i c a m e n t . "

Sand Creek Massacre: I by Bob Blanton

Editor's note: This week's WTAS record review is wr i t ten by station manager Bud Thompson. He re-views Blessed Are... by Joan Baez on Vanguard Records.

I suppose I could spend a lot of t ime ta lking abou t art istry when talking a b o u t Joan Baez. But Blessed Are... isn't as much artist ic as it is na tura l , and in many ways t h a t ' s be t t e r . What is na tura l is real and what is real endures .

B L E S S E D A R E . . . is some-thing new f o r J o a n . F o r s tar ters , i t 's a doub le a lbum of 20 songs with a supp l emen ta ry 7 inch disc wi th t w o more songs. The com-poser list is long, including Mick Jagger and Kei th Richard ("Sal t Of T h e E a r t h " ) , Mickey Newbury ( " S a n Franc isco Mabel J o y , " "An-gel ine ," and " T h e 33rd of A u g u s t " ) , Kris Kr is tof fe rson ( "He lp Me Make It Through The N igh t " ) , and L e n n o n and McCart-ney ( " L e t It Be" ) .

O the r k n o w n songs by ra ther u n k n o w n compose r s are "Heaven Help Us Al l ," " P u t Your Hand In The H a n d , " and , of course, " T h e Night They Drove Old Dixie

D o w n . " J O A N W R O T E nine of the

select ions herself . I object to only t w o of the 20 cuts . One is "He lp Me Make It T h r o u g h The Nigh t . " This version lacks the delicacy and beau ty of S a m m i Smi th ' s version, t hough I mus t admi t i t 's be t te r than when 1 heard Kr i s to f fe rson himself do it ha l f -drunk in Central Park this s u m m e r .

The o the r cu t is " L e t It Be." Norbe r t P u t n a m ( the arranger) has made it c o u n t r y and western , thus robbing it of many of the hymn-like qual i t ies tha t came th rough in

the Beatles vers ion. But as I lis-tened to the end of Joan ' s version with horns , cho rus and the like, I t h o u g h t tha t m a y b e it was t ime s o m e o n e realized tha t "Let It Be" is a song of great celebrat ion. Why shou ldn ' t it sound like celebra-t ion? A n y w a y , i t ' s fol lowed on the a lbum by one of the best versions of " P u t Your Hand In The H a n d " that I 've heard.

W H A T IS MOST impor t an t abou t this a lbum is no t the music as m u c h as the words . Joan Baez doesn ' t play with words. She says and sings what she feels, what is na tura l . This may result in the changing of words in songs. Not great changes, jus t subs t i tu t ions that more o f t e n than not enhance the meaning of the song.

The re is a q u o t e on the inside of the a lbum cover tha t reads: " T h e d i f fe rences between the words on the record and the words in the t e x t are either inten-t ional or o the rw i se . " The d i f fer -ence tha t holds the greatest im-pact occurs in " T h e Night They Drove Old Dixie D o w n . "

T H E O R I G I N A L line reads. " I swear by the m u d below my feet . . . . " Joan has changed it to "I swear by the b lood below my fee t . . . , " t hus conveying in a single word the most devastat ing aspect of the " d e a t h " of the S o u t h .

Joan Baez has spoken out on a lot of things and a lot of people d o n ' t like what she 's said. T h e y , in t u r n , don ' t like her music. Tha t is no more than narrow minded-ness. But Joan accepts this. " . . . If you give a damn you ' r e going to pay s o m e dues ." ( F r o m " F i f t e e n M o n t h s " by Joan Baez.)

Enough said.

Chr i s topher Columbus , lost or s tupid or b o t h , called the inhabi-tan t s of the New World which he " d i s c o v e r e d " " Ind ians , " and we have been s tuck with this te rmino-logy ever since. (How one can discover land which is already inhabi ted is still left to ques t ion . ) With the coming of Co lumbus , and all the o ther explorers , the n ightmare began fo r the Indians of th is coun t ry and by no s t re tch of the imaginat ion has it ended .

H A V I N G HAD THEIR lands "d i s cove red" negated the rights of the Indian tribes t o sovereignty and equa l i ty . The white Eu ropean na t ions that claimed to have dis-covered a piece of land decided they had a right to t ha t land regardless of the people living there at the t ime.

This was clearly the doc t r ine of the Western world which was ap-plied t o the New World and en-dorsed as the will of God by the Christ ian churches of western Eu rope .

V I N E D E L O R I A , JR. , f o rmer execut ive d i rec tor of the Nat ional Counci l of American Indians , wro te : "Chr is t ian i ty endorsed and advocated the rape of the N o r t h American c o n t i n e n t , and her re-presentat ives have done thei r ut-most t o con t r ibu te to this process ever s ince ."

Historical ly speaking, the great-est mis take the Indian ever made was t rus t ing the white man . Take for example the Sand Creek Mas-sacre of 1864.

IN J U N E , i 8 6 4 . Gov. Evans of Colorado sent out a circular to the Indians of the plains, inviting all f r iendly Indians to come in to the ne ighborhood of the for ts , and be p ro tec ted by the United States t roops .

Several hundred Cheyennes came and settled down near For t Lyon . Af te r a t ime they were requested to move to Sand Creek, 40 miles f rom the Fo r t , where they were still guaranteed "per -fect s a f e t y " and the p ro tec t ion of the government .

HOWEVER, ON Nov. 27, 1864, a regiment of t roops a t tacked this c a m p of f r iendly Indians at daybreak . The Sand Creek massacre is one of the most b la tant i l lustrat ions of barbar ism ever recorded. T h e fol lowing are descr ipt ions of t h e massacre given by some par t ic ipant soldiers before a commi t t e e appo in ted by Congress to investigate the mas-

sacre: " W o m e n and children were

killed and scalped; children shot at their mo the r ' s breasts; and all the bodies mut i la ted in the most horrible m a n n e r . "

" I SAW ONE ' squaw ' cu t open , with an unborn child lying by her s ide ."

"I saw a man d i smount f r o m his horse and cut the ear f r o m the body of an Ind ian , and the scalp f r o m the head of ano the r . I saw a number of chi ldren kil led; they had bullet-holes in t h e m . I saw ano the r (child) t ha t bo th ears had been cut o f f . "

A F T E R H O U R S O F reading such tes t imonies as these I have q u o t e d , and o the r s so m u c h worse that I canno t w r i t e - b e c a u s e the anchor could no t print the words needed to describe t h e m - I felt that more people , part icularly white people, should k n o w about this massacre.

I c anno t hones t ly say that 1 expect you to feel any th ing

though , if only because you 've become so i n h u m a n and callous in dealing with y o u r own people tha t it would be h ideous to think y o u feel compassion for the race you vict imized. It is also eacy to ig-nore what I 've wri t ten a b o u t because it happened in 1864. However My Lai d idn ' t .

I HAVE NO in ten t ion to give a list of a troci t ies pe rpe t ra ted by the white man. I haven ' t enough space or to lerance . The Sand Creek Massacre is suff ic ient in and of itself. Such acts of cruelty and barbar i ty never were known on the Nor th American con t inen t un-til the arrival of the white man . (Scalping was in t roduced by the English.)

He who would believe the In-dian to be a savage would do be t t e r to reconsider . The Ind ian of this count ry is not a savage bu t a victim of savagery, white savage-ry.

IN 1787, T H E chief of the Delawares told a group of fe l low Indians:

" I admit tha t there are good white men, bu t they bear no p ropo r t i on to the bad ; the bad must be the s t rongest , for they rule. They would make slaves of us if they cou ld ; bu t as they canno t do it, t hey kill us. There is no fai th to be placed in thei r words . . . R e m e m b e r this day I have warned y o u to beware of such fr iends as these. I know the Long-knives. T h e y are not to be t r u s t e d . "

Evident ly, this discourse was no t heeded by the Indian people w h o were to t rus t the whites and suf fe r the consequences . My ar-ticle next week will be on t reat ies and the Indians today .

continued from page I AREA INDUSTRY, personnel

and management groups, or-ganized labor and minority agen-cies were represented in the em-ployment task group. A major need evolved in this group's dis-cussion was the educat ion of bo th employer and potent ial employee against discrimination.

To effect this change the group proposed a program of "Aware-ness Training" for employers. Ad-ministered through the Chamber of Commerce and the Industrial Manager's Association, this pro-gram would show employers the many benefits of hiring the handi-capped and members of minority groups. In addit ion to this pro-gram, the members proposed a review board to study various industry job application forms in an effor t to discover discrimina-tory practices.

Debate squad

wins f ive of six

in weekend meet The Hope College debate squad

won two trophies last weekend while compet ing against debaters from 13 colleges and universities at Kellogg Communi ty College in Battle Creek.

The team received the second place t rophy for overall per-formance af ter winning five of six debates. The University of Michi-gan was the first place winner.

The negative team claimed a first place t rophy by winning three matches. Members of the team were sophomores Paul Bach and Joan Lautenschleger.

The affirmative team of sopho-mores Chad Busk and Paul Christenson won two of three debates.

The debate squad was accom-panied by Harold Mikle, director of forensics.

THE COMMITTEE expressed concern that all local jobs become open to any qualified individual through the posting of unoccu-pied positions by both the city and business.

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

O T H E R recommenda t ions made by the group include a city ordinance requiring landlords to register. This would facilitate the compilat ion of a Housing Bureau resource file which would aid of-ficials in determining legal infrac-tions by landlords.

Much of the discussion of the education task force explored the relationship between the schools and the parents of children in minority groups. In order to es-tablish better "direct interper-sonal communica t ion" between parents and schools, the group prescribed the acquisition of Chi-cano liasons to provide new avenues of communicat ion be-tween the insti tutions and the parents.

In an effor t to heighten com-munity sensitivity to the special problems of minority group child-ren, the group called for the initia-t ion of a series of seminars in-volving the entire Holland teach-ing staff . Funded by the Board of Educat ion, these e f for t s would make use of members of the minority communi ty to expose the teachers to the Chicano cul-ture.

A SCHOOL lunches task group, composed of representa-tives of church groups, minority agencies and school officials, met to determine the needs and prior-ities for effect ing a county-wide lunch program.

The group showed that a county lunch program was feas-ible, and that at a taxpayer cost of 26c for non-paying s tudents and

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

THE GROUP called for a steer-ing commit tee to be fo rmed to approach officials with the proposal . Under the plan, school officials would contract private enterprises to cater food to area schools. The group worked to show that no undue burden would be placed on teachers or adminis-trative personnel.

The HHRC seeks to help re-solve communi ty racial disputes and a t tempts to check discrimina-tion in the Holland area. The group is also inst rumental in pro-posing communi ty action regard-ing all phases of interracial rela-tions.

Van Voorst: Hope's 'Newsweek' reporter By Bob Roos

A small por t ion of Hope 's com-muni ty was treated to a provaca-tive glimpse of European political developments recently when Hope a lumnus Bruce Van Voorst , News-week's bureau chief in West Ger-many, took t ime off f rom a two and a half week lecture tour to spend some time in his home town of Holland.

VAN VOORST spoke to a group of s tudents and faculty at Marigold Lodge and also talked with a few Hopeites personally during his visit.

His speaking tour involved lec-tures at several campuses, partici-pat ion in television discussions and talk shows, and speeches to businessmen's groups in various cities.

A 1954 Hope graduate, Van Voorst is a six-year veteran in his post as West German correspon-dent for Newsweek. He has cov-ered a lion's share of the major political developments in Europe since 1965.

RECENTLY, these develop-ments have included West German

draw parallels between Vietnam and Europe , " he said.

ONE MANIFESTATION of the growth of isolationist atti-tudes is the current debate over the presence of the 180,000 A-merican t roops in West Germany, Van Voorst said. Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield has intr-oduced a measure which would require that the t roops be brought home.

The American t roop presence in West Germany is one issue that presents a slight contrast to Amer-icans' general ignorance and apathy regarding European affairs. Van Voorst indicated. He said that during the television discus-sions in which he recently partici-pated, the moderators , who gen-erally "d idn ' t have any idea what they wanted to ask ," were usually interested in talking about the troops in Germany .

HE WENT ON to say that if a poll on the issue of the t roop presence in Europe were con-ducted in the U.S., the results would favor withdrawal.

Van Voorst named several rea-sons why he believes such a move

Chancellor Willy Brandt 's search would be a mistake. The principal for detente with the communis t one is that "unilateral withdrawal bloc, the progress of the Strategic would leave the Germans exposed. Aims Limitation Talks (SALT) in They would be forced to look to Helsinki, the NATO defense their own defense , " he said. This s tance in Europe, including the would damage the credibility of deba te over the role of the NATO's "f lexible response" deter-180,000 American t roops in West rent, he indicated. Germany, and the quest for Euro- HE SAID ALSO that a major pean unification represented by purpose served by the American the possible expansion of the Eur- t roop presence is " t o keep West opean Economic Communi ty Germany bound in a friendly alli-(Common Market). ance." If the t roops were with-

A deep personal concern over drawn, the Germans would be the ignorance regarding European forced to build up large forces of affairs and the growing signs of their own, and this would strain isolationism shown by Americans in general, and s tudents in particu-lar, was one of the principal re-sults of Van Voorst 's recent ex-

the present cooperat ion between West Germany and France, he asserted.

Van Voorst answered the argu-periences. He sees the present U.S. ment that keeping t roops abroad policy in Europe as a partial re-flection of these att i tudes.

VAN VOORST feels that the U.S. essentially "does not have a European pol icy ." U.S. policy in Europe is marked by indecisive-ness and generally lacks dedica-tion to any comprehensive goals, he indicated. The result, he said, is that "Europeans feel neglec ted" by the U.S. and the chances for eventual Soviet dominat ion of western as well as eastern Europe are increased.

The desire of Americans to avoid an active internat ional role is largely a result of the Vietnam experience. Van Voorst believes. "There is real danger in an emo-tional reaction against the involve-ment in I n d o c h i n a - w e shouldn ' t

drains the U.S. economy by ex-plaining that West Germany has "offset agreements" with the U.S.

According to these agreements, the West German government compensates for the revenue that the American troops add to the German economy by buying $800-900 million worth of goods, mainly weapons, f rom the U.S. government annually.

THE COST OF maintaining the troops in Germany is lower than would be the case if they were stat ioned in the States, Van Voorst went on.

He added that the t roops play an impor tan t psychological role in that they serve as " t h e living-color evidence of our c o m m i t m e n t " to preserve the au tonomy of Western Europe.

THAT COMMITMENT is now being tested as a result of a general Soviet military bui ldup in and around Europe, Van Voorst said. He explained that the Soviets now have 55 infantry divisions in Europe to oppose NATO's 33; that they have 10,000 tanks to NATO's 5 ,000; that there is evi-dence of a large Soviet naval buildup in the North Atlantic; and that the Soviets are simultaneous-ly achieving a superior nuclear capability.

Other factors have combined with the Soviet buildup to create a very unsett led situation in Europe, Van Voorst declared. These include a weakening of NATO through the loss of naval bases in Nor th Africa and Malta, the Arab-Israeli confl ict , and the ext reme instability of the Italian economy.

VAN VOORST indicated that the need for a vigorous American policy in Europe is underlined by the volatility of the present situ-ation. However, he said that Americans ' relative unconcern with European problems is reflec-ted by Nixon's new economic policy, which is adding to the difficult ies in Europe.

He explained: "I t ' s not that Europeans don ' t know the squeeze is on here, and it's not that they complain about the ob-jectives of the Connally program, but the new policy is coming at a t ime when every country is ex-periencing a marked decline in economic g rowth . "

THE TEN PERCENT surcharge on imports is having very harmful effects on German industry in particular, Van Voorst said. He estimates that Common Market expor ts to the U.S. will drop in the long run by one-third as a result of the surcharge.

In spite of all the problems now occupying European leaders. Van Voorst indicated that one very positive development is in the making. Negotiations for a definitive agreement on access to and f rom West Berlin are now going on. If an agreement is suc-cessfully worked out , it will open

NEWSWEEK CORRESPONDENT BRUCE VAN VOORST the way for more significant steps toward east-west detente , he said.

"ALMOST OUT of h a n d " is the phrase Van Voorst used to describe the present pace of events in Europe. As a result, he is concerned about the fact that in the course of his tour he has been "able to d o c u m e n t " for himself the existence of isolationist atti-tudes in the U.S. He mentioned a recent poll in which Americans indicated that they were willing to defend "only the U.S. and Can-ada ."

The dearth of knowledge in the U.S. regarding international affairs also disturbed Van Voorst during his tour. S tudents in particular "really don ' t know much , " he said. At one campus, he added, he was " f rankly a m a z e d " at the ig-norance and arrogance shown by a group of political science, history and journalism students .

ASKED WHETHER he felt an active European role is in the long run essential to U.S. survival. Van Voorst expressed his belief that "a nation must be dynamic and in-volved in order to maintain its exis tence."

He added that he "is delighted by the arguments that the U.S. should use its resources domes-tically, but the evidence is that nations just don ' t do this ."

WHETHER THE unconcern for European affairs shown by s tudents is a recent phenom-

e n o n - a logical accompaniment to the a tmosphere of introspection that has prevailed on U.S. cam-puses for the past y e a r - o r whether s tudents have long been relatively oblivious. Van Voorst couldn ' t judge.

He did indicate, however, that the "level of ignorance" in the U.S. presently is about equal to that at the time of his last visit in 1969.

Seminar series to be sponsored by Christ's People

The Ministry of Christ 's People is sponsoring a series of seminars entitled " H o w to fall in love with the Bible." The series will com-mence Tuesday at 6 p.m. in room 211 of the DeWitt Cultural Cen-ter.

According to Sittser the seminars will be conducted in an informal, "self-part icipat ing" way.

The five-week series will be led by Chaplain William Hillegonds and Robert Coughenour , associate professor of religion.

Adrian frustrates Hope 15-13 in statistical defeat by Merl in Whiteman

Luckless Hope College beat Adrian College everywhere but on the scoreboard Saturday after-noon at cold and windy Riverview Park.

THE LOSS GAVE the Bulldogs an undeserved tie with Alma for the confe rence championsh ip , and the Dutch a tie for third place. The loss also made it impossible for Hope to finish above .500 for the season.

Booters f inish season 7-6; beat Kalamazoo 1-0

I he 1971 Hope soccer team closed out the season with a 1-0 victory over Kalamazoo College Saturday .

I he Hope booters finished third in a four team league that was paced by Calvin College. The win give Hope a final record of 7-6.

Sa tu rday ' s game was Hope 's second this year against the Kala-mazoo team and it marked the end of the round-robin compet i -tion. Both teams took an equal number of shots on goal dur ing the match , but Dave Phillips made one of Hope 's shots c o u n t . Taking an assist pass f rom Rich Lopez, Phillips kicked h o m e the winning goal dur ing the second per iod.

Hope ' s first game of the Michi-gan Intercollegiate Athlet ic Asso-ciation tourney was played this past Wednesday against Albion. Like Hope 's footbal l t eam, the Dutch ou tp layed the Britons, but m o m e n t a r y lapses cost Hope the match . Dave Phillips scored Hope 's lone goal while Albion 's Dave Crispen scored bo th of Al-bion 's goals.

T h e Dutch statistically domi-nated the game for the sixth t ime this season. Hope had an unspec-tacular 298 yards total o f fense and 16 first downs. However, these figures are except ional when compared to Adrian 's 57 yards total of fense and three first downs . Despite the discrepancy, the Bulldogs won, 15-13.

T H E DEFENSE played their best game of the season in l imiting their opponen t for under 100 yards for the third time. Also, they did not give up one pass comple t ion , while turning in one in tercept ion. This game made Hope ' s defense number one in the Michigan Intercollegiate Athlet ic Association.

This spirit-crushing loss over-shadowed two record-breaking performances . S o p h o m o r e tail-back Greg Voss, playing with a very painful hand, broke his own single season rushing record. Voss now has 1096 yards in 243 carries this year.

T H E 1971 DUTCHMEN broke a record as a team. Sa tu rday ' s game made this year ' s team the most explosive offensive unit in Hope College history. They now have 2782 total yards with one game to go, breaking a record set by the 1958 team which finished 8 - 1 .

Adrian 's lirst t ouchdown was the result of a malady that plagued Hope all a f t e r n o o n -tumbleit is . F*or the a f t e r n o o n , the Dutch tumbled six times and saw Adrian recover four of these deadly miscues.

THIS PARTICULAR fumble squir ted out of the grasp of a Dutch runner into the surprised hands of roly-poly Adrian l ineman Ray Hellowell. Shaking off a last-ditch tackier, Hellowell went 4 7 yards fo r the score. The try for two was good, making the score 8 - 0 .

That man is the p roduc t of causes which had no pre-vision of the end they were achieving; that his origin, his g rowth , his hopes and his fears, his loves and beliefs, are but the out-come of accidental col locat ions of a t o m s ; . . . that the labours of the ages, all the devot ion , inspirat ion, all the noonday brightness of human genius, are dest ined to ex t inc t ion in the vast death of the solar sys-t em; that the whole temple of Man's achievement must in-evitably be buried benea th the debris of a universe in r u i n s - a l l these things . . . are nearly so certain, that no phi losophy which rejects them can hope to s tand. Only within the scaf-folding of these t ru ths , only on the firm founda t ion of un-yielding despair, can the souls habi ta t ion hence fo r th be safely built .

-Ber t rand Russell, A I'ree Man's Worship

Russell-the-man and Russell-the- thinker are in a paradoxical relat ion. Russell-the-man hopes, he values, he desires for what is " b e s t " in human life. Russell-the-th inker is virtually certain that everything about the universe mocks human life.

THE DUST OF the universe has produced an absurd and ac-cidental f reak. It has p roduced an animal who longs for some sort of " p u r p o s e , " " m e a n i n g , " " w o r t h " and " v a l u e " in the midst of a universe which makes such words so much emotive gibberish. It has p roduced an animal who strives for values in a universe, not merely benignly ind i f fe ren t , but brutely hostile to those values. It has p roduced an en t i ty of flesh and b lood, feeling and f r eedom in a universe of inexorable deter-minism, rock, fire and empt iness .

Russell, as a man, does not ob fusca t e the facts that the think-er in him c o n f r o n t s him with. He does not seek some hidden pur-pose and wisdom behind the brute universe that science puts before h im. He only asks that apprehen-sion of the meaninglessness of this bru te universe be the fu rnace , in which the crucible of the human heart and imagination may refine its hopes , values and aspirat ions.

RUSSELL IS honest , and he is a mirror . He reflects the paradox and di lemma of 20th Cen tu ry man, with more clarity than most men can bear to see.

Russell reflects the d o m i n a n t , a l though half-conscious, world-view of our age. The guiding, molding power of an under lying world-view, 1 think, is awesome. Its ramif ica t ions on our a t t i tudes and practical c o m m i t m e n t s are m o m e n t o u s .

ONE RAMIFICATION I have s tated in my last essay: it renders point less the c o m m i t m e n t to use our heads, to discover and articu-late not merely that we are com-mi ted , but what we are commi ted to, and why. The most we can expect f rom such a c o m m i t m e n t is a clearer vision of our ulti-mately absurd human s i tuat ion, and the arbitrariness of all of our c o m m i t m e n t s . But this ramifica-tion has a terr i fying corol lary.

This world-view makes t ru th powerless. In fact , it makes t ru th paralyzing; t ru th becomes our e n e m y . Tru th makes us i m p o t e n t ; our c o m m i t m e n t s must be made in spite of t ru th , not because of t ru th .

T H E Q U A K E R S , rooted in a world-view qui te the ant i thesis of Russell 's, have an idealistic book-let called "Speak Tru th to P o w e r . " To the modern men-tal i ty , this book and its title must , logically, be the height of folly. The book of the modern men-tal i ty, if it is irue to its premises,

must be titled "Speak Power to T r u t h , " "Speak Power to P o w e r , " and finally "Speak Power to Real-i t y . "

In the face of the fact that men have confl ic t ing " idea l s " for man-kind, and in view of the premise that these ideals are u l t imate ly arbi t rary personal c o m m i t m e n t s , how must an idea l -commit ted group seek to actualize its ideals? There is but one general way: by manipula t ion .

Our day, t rue to its premises, is seeing the use of manipulat ive techniques, and the fear and sus-picion of manipula t ion to a ter-r ifying degree. We can see this vividly, as close to us as last week's anchor.

R E A D AGAIN the f ron t page essay on the "FBI P lo t . " If it is t rue, it is a demon ic a t t e m p t by the Establ ishment to manipula te facts, to "speak power to rea l i ty . " If it is false, it is just as demonic an a t t emp t by the Left to mani-pulate t ru th . The same d i lemma emerges f rom reading Neal Freed-man 's essay on the admission of Red China in to the U.N. If Neal is right, every word and act of nat ional politics is a power-game: an ego-tr ipping manipula t ion of fac t , of t r u th , of man . If Neal is wrong, he is not merely mis taken ; he is manipula t ing t ru th in a way that is as demon ic as it is fr ight-ened and angry.

Can this s i tuat ion ever be healed, wi thou t an al ternat ive founda t ion , w i thou t solid g round to s tand u p o n ? I do not think so. Without this, we may tenaciously fight for what we believe in, we may courageously wrestle with powers of evil. But we will be wrestling in qu icksand . We may , by s t rength and cleverness, come out on top and see our e n e m y go under first.

But we will be sucked to the same dea th .

The quicksand is qu i te impar-tial.

THE DUTCH scored this t ime, as Ted Albrecht grabbed an eight yard pass f rom Jon Constant to make the ha l f t ime score 8-6. The extra-point a t t e m p t was foiled by a high snap.

Adrian 's winning t o u c h d o w n in the second half was part ly caused by the wind. Doug Smith punted a high kick out of his own end zone in to the wind, only to see this stiff wind blow the bounding ball back toward the end zone.

HE A L E R T L Y downed the ball on the five yard line and saved a safe ty . Nevertheless, Adrian scored three plays later to make the score 14-6. The extra-point a t t emp t was good.

The Dutch p rompt ly moved the ball d o w n the field for a score on the next series. Hope ' s final score of the game came on Con-

s tant ' s op t ion run of 37 yards down the right sideline. Mike Hinga's kick was good.

WITH 13:44 L E F T in the game, Hope still had plenty of t ime to pull ou t a victory. How-ever, the remaining three times the Dutch had the ball, they failed to score.

Jon Cons tan t comple ted 11 out of 17 passes for one touch-down, in addi t ion to his 37 yard scoring j aun t . Dave Johnson caught three passes for 46 yards, while Mark Meyers caught four for 42. In the rushing depa r tmen t , Voss had 67 yards in 27 carries, while Fd Sanders picked up 70 yards in 17 a t t empts .

Next Sa turday Hope closes out the 1971 season against winless Grand Valley State College before a Parents Day crowd. The game is slated to begin at 2 p .m.

Harriers beat Adrian; prepare for MIAA meet

The Hope College cross coun-try team out-classed Adrian 18 to 42 in action at the Winding Creek Golf Course Sa turday . The victory gives Hope a perfect 6-0 record in the Michigan Intercollegiate Ath-letic Associat ion.

The Dutch swept the first three places in the compe t i t i on to in-sure the win. Gregg Daniels, Hope's premier runner , again took first place with a fine t ime of 21:17. Daniels holds the record for the Winding Creek course at 20:49 , but his t ime in Sa tu rday ' s match was still impressive because of the high winds.

Phil Ceely ran with Daniels for most of the race and finished just four seconds behind him at 21 :21 . Randy Lawrence finished third. Glen Powers f i f th , Marty Stark seventh, Nick Cramer eighth, Ron Bul tema ninth, Bob Scott 14th and Jim Maciejko 17th.

Harrier team spirit is high and so are the t eam's hopes for a first place finish in the MIAA meet at Alma this Wednesday, according to team captain Bob Scott . An MIAA victory would give Hope ts first ou t r igh t victory ever, and an end to a very gra t i fy ing year.
