No major incidents

Parietals seem to be working Hope's recently established

guest policy, though not being used as much as expected, is working well, according to bo th students and administrators.

THE POLICY, which allows students to entertain guests of the opposite sex in their rooms for three evenings and one af ternoon a week, has been in effect since early fall.

According to Associate Dean of Students Michael Gerrie, reports by resident advisors on the policy have indicated that it is so far successful and 4<will be very bene-ficial." The reports also indicated that the policy "is not being used as much as people thought it would be."

ASKED IF STUDENTS were conforming to the rules of the new plan, Gerrie said, "There have been some violations, mostly in relation to time, but the policy has not been abused to any great ex ten t . " He said that the unit councils have generally taken their responsibilities well, but added, "Many units have felt a need to change their unit councils." He also said that two women's cot-tages had decided to discontinue their guest hours because of the inconvenience they caused.

The new guest plan may be having an adverse effect on at least one person outside the im-mediate college campus. Asked about the volume of the Holiday Inn in Holland, replied^ "Week-end-wise it's been off somewhat, but whether it's been directly due to Hope 1 don' t know. Maybe so." He added that he still receives and appreciates business from Hope students: "We still have some party group every weekend. We hope that your people will con-tinue to visit us."

DAVE VANDERWEL, head resident at Kollen Hall, said that the guest policy "doesn ' t seem to be making a whole lot of differ-ence to the overall environment of the dorm." He emphasized his belief that it is too early to make a good evaluation of the plan: " I t s general effect still has to be mea-sured in terms of what the atmo-sphere is by the end of the year ." He mentioned reports f rom other schools with open guest policies which indicated that the policies contributed to a "hotel-l ike" at-mosphere in dormitories, and he expressed the hope that Hope's policy would not have the same effect .

Asked about violations of the new rules, Vanderwel said, "Few-er have been reported than 1 expected, but I think there are more going unreported than I expected." He also indicated that the plan is not fulfilling part of its original p u r p o s e - t o provide an opportunity for "coeducational s t u d y " - t o any great extent : " I t hasn't turned out to be the kind of thing people intended it would be, in that it's been almost purely social. I haven't seen a whole lot of studying come out of i t ."

ONLY ONE CAMPUS living un i t -w ing IB in Kollen Hal l -has so far had its guest privileges revoked. According to Resident Advisor Dave Breen, the reason was "basically a violation of guest hours" and use of alcohol in an incident in which "a majority of the guys present that evening were involved." He indicated that guest privileges had been revoked for an indefinite period, but that there was a good chance of regaining them later.

Several students echoed the opinions of Gerrie and Vanderwel on the guest policy as it has funct ioned so far. They all agreed that the privileges were being used less than expected. "Only an aver-age of seven rooms per night out of 28 are using them," said Kollen Resident Advisor John Paarlberg. Most of the students also felt that the unit councils are fulfilling their responsibilities well. Fresh-man Dave Wesner said, "The unit council always comes around at twelve and checks. .1 only know of one violation so far ."

The s tudents also shared the opinion that guest privileges are being used more for social than for study purposes.

But one student summed up the views of many when he said, "I think it 's nice just to be free and not have a stick over your head."

The proposal to revise the curriculum requirements of Hope College was unanimously voted approval by the Academic Affairs Board Friday, puting an end to a marathon four-and-a-half hour meeting.

THE VOTE CAME just days before a Tuesday deadline im-posed by agenda requirements for the faculty committee of the whole meeting this month . Facul-ty review is the next test the bill must pass before it can be imple-mented. If approved by the facul-ty, the proposal will go to a special committee whose job it will be to prepare final plans for implementing the curriculum re-form in time for the fall semester of 1971.

Board members appeared tired but pleased as they left the meet-ing Friday afternoon. They had made a few major changes in the revised proposal, but they had touched on and questioned nearly every part of the 20-page docu-ment.

"WHO WANTS to make histo-ry?" board chairman Dr. Arthur Jentz had asked when, at the beginning of the meeting, he was searching for a motion to approve the proposal. "I move i t , " respon-ded senior philosophy major Wayne VanderByl.

The curriculum reform bill had been called "possibly one of the biggest proposed changes in 50 years" in talks preceding the AAB meeting.

The board was cautious not to spell out in great detail port ions of the proposal, prefering to leave that task to a special commit tee called for in the document itself. AAB members especially avoided designing the proposed course "Introduction to Liberal Studies." While the report gives the objec-tives and a plan of implementa-tion for such a course, it does not specify any course outline.

THERE WAS ALSO concern in the board about the amount of flexibility students would have under the proposed plan and the ramifications of such flexibility. Dr. John Hollenbach, chairman of the English department and a

board member, said one of the ramifications of flexibility would be "a lack of predictabili ty" of student enrollment in classes. "Students might end up saying,4 I thought 1 could take this course, but now I can't because it 's full,' " Hollenbach noted.

In a last minute effort to jegulate the way in which stu-dents may fulfill the area curricu-lum part of the requirements, Hollenbach amended the proposal so that students would have to take three courses worth at least nine credit hours from more than one department. The original doc-ument had not mentioned the number of courses or the number of departments.

IN OTHER ACTION, the board changed the number of hours of the proposed "Introduc-tion to Liberal Studies" course from a maximum of 12 to a maximum of 10. The minimum number of hours was left un-changed at eight. The change fol-lowed discussion led by Dr. Richard Brockmeier, associate professor of physics, who pointed out that students studying under the Sloan program would not be able to add 12 hours to their freshman schedules.

Further changes involved re-wording for fur ther clarity within the document .

A VOTE ON THE BILL was almost postponed during the final minutes of discussion. Hollenbach called on fellow board members to postpone a vote until an "open" meeting to which faculty members were specifically invited could be held. Apparently there were other board members who had hoped to put off a vote until they could drum up some measure of support for the proposal.

But chairman Jentz pressed the question, saying, "I 'm uneasy about the queasiness of this board to risk their necks instead of making a recommendation. We're supposed to recommend action, not get everybody (outside the board) to agree first, then make a decision." (A summary of the final proposal as passed appears on page 11)

Sent to parents

Letter explains fees hike

Dean denies existence of rumored drug list

The official announcement that student costs are going up next year was made last week.

A two-page letter to parents, written by college Treasurer and Business Manager Clarence Hand-logten, confirmed earlier reports that the increase would total $250. Tuition will increase from $1,650 to $1,770; room'wi l l go up from $390 to $430; and board will be increased from $530 to $560.

Also in the letter was the news that a restructuring of the fees raised the activities fee from its current $15 to $75 for next year. The new higher fee will cover the expenses of activities not directly related to the instructional pro-gram, such as Student Congress, health services, student communi-

cations media, some counselling expenses and athletic costs.

The fee increase was the sixth in six years. At the beginning of 1966, s tudents payed an .addi-tional $100 for room and board. In 1967 tuition was increased by $100, and in 1968 total fees were hiked another $200. Fees for the 1969-70 year were raised $200.

At present, student fees pay 79.5 per cent of the actual operating cost of the college. This is up from 78 per cent last year. The balance of the operating budget is provided through gifts from alumni and friends of the college, grants and endowment .

The letter to parents con-trasted with previous letters explaining the earlier hikes. Hand-logten said the latest letter reflected more of himself than the

others. He wrote, "We carry on our work . . . under the condit ions of a changing world. We are for-tunate that Hope continues with-out the campus controversy of many colleges and universities, but we have the universal economic pressures of our society. Sleight of hand is no solution to the cold realities of the budget ."

Handlogten further declared in the letter that efforts would be made to increase financial aid: "As we continue to offer great opportunit ies for learning, we hope to adequately assist every deserving student . We will do our best through our financial aids program to make it possible for every student who desires to come to Hope College to have the opportunity to earn a Hope degree."

The existence of a rumored list of alleged campus drug users was denied by Dean of Students Robert DeYoung last week.

"We don' t keep any- list of suspected drug users," DeYoung said. "If we suspect a student of using drugs, we recommend to his Resident Advisor that he go to the student and try to help him. The advisor tells the student about the local services available, such as the Center Upstairs, the counselling center, the deans' offices and so on . "

He added that it would be "fool ish" to try to maintain any such list. DeYoung also conjec-

tured that the rumor of its exis-tence started because of misinter-pretation of an address by Associ-ate Dean of Students Jeanette Sprik to a local organization. "Dean Sprik had said we were aware of the problem and knew who used drugs," DeYoung ex-plained.

"But we don't know every student who might use drugs, and we'd rather not have that sort of information if the Resident Advis-ors can handle the situation. We don' t want any undercover detec-tive work done for the deans' of f ice ."

Special Note . This week there will undoubtedly be extensive discussion centering on the "Proposal

to Revise the College Curriculum Requirements" passed by the Academic Affairs

Board Friday. There will be a great number of questions asked, and unfortunately

the committee that wrote the proposal will not be able to answer all of them

personally. The anchor wil l serve as a sounding board for those questions and

answers. Next week, space will be dedicated to a "question and answer" column

regarding the proposal. Questions should be addressed to the anchor—QUESTIONS,

and delivered to the paper on or by Thursday. All answers will be checked for

accuracy by members of the committee, and the committee may respond by writing

its own thinking on specific issues. Look for this important feature next week!

Lack of distinct goals frustrates student activism Editor's Note: This week's anchor essay is written by sophomore economics major Reginald Cohen. Entitled "Toward a rational stu-dent activism," the essay discusses the insights that come from re-flecting on the so-called political student movement. Next week, the second part of this two-part article will consider what prac-ticable plan of action students concerned with radical transfor-mation of social relations should pursue.

by Reginald Cohen

Reflections and Insights

The most generally obvious beginnings of the development of a political consciousness among students in the United States cen-tered around the issues of aca-demic f reedom. For a t ime, this con t rovers ia l issue exclusively concerned the relations of the s tudents wi th the educat ional in-st i tut ion and its a t tending facu-lties and administrators, academic curricula and administrative poli-cies. It was at this crude initial phase of s tudent consciousness that an evasively apocryphal and apologetic explanation came to the fore, viz., the theory of the generation gap.

T H E EXPLANATORY in-adequacy of this theory is no less than a ref lect ion of the tacit assumpt ion-par t icu la r ly on the part of a major por t ion of the middle strata of American soci-e t y - t h a t the t rue source of all social malcontent resides in the family relationship. Yet the real conf i rmat ion of the relative in-adequacy of this theory came with the gradual tendencies for its p roponen ts to become more and more political in their rationaliza-tion as the s tudents became pro-gressively more political ( though the process was significantly slow) in consciousness and modes of action. That is to say, the rational-ization moved f r o m : " O u r kids are telling us that we have failed t h e m ! " to: "There are a handful of radicals inciting our children

who have the u tmost intent ions of 'moral ' behavior!"

These gradual progressions of political consciousness among stu-dents came with their increasing awareness of the significance of the relationship of key political and economic sectors of the com-munity to the educational institu-tions themselves and their internal ( a c a d e m i c and administrative) processes. Fur thermore , the stu-dent movement broadened some-what and gained a conspicuous impetus with the climactic devel-opmen t s of the Vietnam war, par-ticularly during the escalation on the part of the Johnson adminis-tration in 1965.

STUDENTS FOR A Demo-cratic Society ( S D S ) - a n organiza-tion that was born as a result concern of some white s tudents about their potential role in the raging g h e t t o e s - h a d found a cru-cial issue in the new propor t ions gained in the Americanization of the war. This factor swelled their ranks, giving them the welcomed opt ion of establishing branches of their organization in communi t ies all over the country and later in o ther parts of the world.

These were not , however, the final results since the so-called student movement rapidly came to be the Anti-War Movement. The differences here are of consid-erable importance . The anti-war m o v e m e n t - a s opposed to the stu-dent movement , whose bound-aries of activity were exclusively on campuses or at most in the communi t ies immediately corre-sponding to campuses - a t t r ac t ed not only s tudents but workers, certain liberal members of the middle class social strata, high school pupils, members of the minori ty communi t ies and many declassed elements. The bound-aries of political activity were so wide and irregular (i.e., containing various social classes) that they tended to obscure the reality of social fact ions.

NOW, THE ONLY measures of the successes and failures of the s tudent movement could be esti-mated by a consideration of the

anchor essay

successes and failures of the anti-war movement , which had by now ( f rom 1965 on) gained the color-ful yet deceptive title of the New Left. What, then, were the proceed-ing activities of the anti-war move-ment?

After 1965, every escalation of the war evoked a correspondingly greater protest until finally John-son, his populari ty at a nadir and his usefulness to the system ex-hausted, announced a cessation of the bombing of North Vietnam and his o w n ^ e t i r e m e n t from the 1968 presidential race. The war cont inued (in fact , the total ton-nage of bombs dropped on Viet-nam and Laos went up rather than down) , but the anti-war move-ment virtually collapsed.

THE REASON WAS not any change in a t t i tudes but a hush that seemed to imply the false belief that the powers that be had had enough and were going to liquidate the Vietnam venture. It was not until Nixon had been in off ice nearly nine m o n t h s - a n d a year and a half since Johnson left the political a r e n a - t h a t the pro-test movement came alive again.

Then, in anticipation of the anti-war demonstra t ion planned for Washington on Nov. 15, 1969, Nixon made his famous "Viet-namiza t ion" speech of Nov. 3. The demonst ra t ion took place on schedule, the largest of its kind in U.S. history, but once again the great mass of people wanting peace were taken in by the Presi-dent ' s rhetoric and once again the movement subsided. As had been the case in the spring of 1968, the reason was not a more favorable a t t i tude toward the war.

THERE IS LITTLE doubt that anti-war sentiment has never ceased1 to grow in extent and

intensity; and a growing, if subtle minori ty, sector of the movement had by this t ime come to under-stand the war not as a "mis t ake" of U.S. foreign policy but as one aspect of a deadly struggle be-tween an expanding but threat-ened imperialism on the one side and the rising (and potentially world-wide) forces of national liberation and social revolution on the other . But the major i ty , in-cluding much of the leadership, believed, or at any rate had not given up hope, that the U.S. gov-ernment really wanted to get out of Vietnam. Throughout the win-ter, it looked as though Nixon 's tactics were brilliantly succeeding in neutralizing anti-war senti-ments.

It was not until the move in Cambodia revealed the mendaci ty and hypocrisy of Nixon's tactics had a single bone been stirred in the anti-war movement . Af te r months of quiescence, it suddenly broke out in a rash of largely leaderless and uncoordinated ac-tions, which are in part responsi-ble for the killing of four s tudents by National Guardsmen at Kent State University in Ohio. Attr ibu-table also to the killing was, of course, the invasion of Cambodia a few days before, which was like adding inflammable fuel to the already ignited fire. Following all of these tragedies, the only end product which the so-called New Left could of fer came on May 9 in Washington, an event no more impressive and certainly of no more political consequence than that of Nov. 15 of the previous year.

Some Conclusions

What can we, as s tudents for the social revolution in the United States, learn f rom the vicissitudes of the anti-war movement and its apparent political inefficacies?

ALTHOUGH WE CAN admit to the value of demonst ra t ions when centered around issues which rouse masses of people, we must not fail to consider that events such as those at Kent State are symptoms of the undiscip-lined, sporadic and uncoordinated nature of the prevalent anti-war movement among students . Fur-thermore , we must not fail to realize that this impulsive, unor-ganized activity is not wi thout its ideological correlative.

In SDS, for example it was not until many of its hard-core mem-bers began to move into the Pro-gressive Labor Par ty- rea l iz ing the need to forge s tudent-worker soli-

dates announced The last date for the withdraw-

al f rom courses with a " W " grade is Nov. 30, at 4 p.m.

After this time, any s tudent withdrawing f rom a course will accept the grade that he has earned in that course. In ef fect , this means that one will not be able to withdraw af ter that speci-fied date.

The final day for making up all incomplete grades ("1") left over from the second semester of last year will be Friday. Af te r that date, any incomplete grades will be recorded as " F . "

d a r i t y - t h a t we see some ef for t s to obtain ideological consistency within the organization. Before that , SDS was no more than a group of random ideological vari-ables prematurely forced (by the swelling of its ranks during the escalation) to take on the rigor-ous political responsibilities to which it was not ideologically suited.

FROM ALL OF THESE events and their resulting circumstances, we may feasibly maintain that the New Left-hoxn of the s tudent m o v e m e n t - a s a " revolu t ionary" movement is dead! Yet , we do not assert this out of f rus t ra t ion , for we realize that without a correct as well as consistent revolutionary theory, there can be no viable and persevering revolutionary activity. This, I fancy, explains the recent demise of the " L e f t " and o ther pre tent ious "radical" movements in the United States.

Let us now examine the es-sence of these arguments in four key points :

1) Student opposi t ion to capi-talist rationalization is still at a primitive and early stage.

2) Although the social basis for such a movement exists, its successful creation cannot be assumed since the actual birth of a coherent and cumulative s tudent move-ment is still in doubt .

3) There is no inevitable line of progression f rom the first manifestat ions of s tudent unrest to the establishment of a revolutionary s tudent organization and practicable political act ion.

4 ) That the campuses exist in a state of unrest is no more a presupposit ion of its revolu-tionary role than the exis-

, tence of the ghet to in its turmoil is a presupposit ion of the radicalization of the lumpenproletar iat .

WHAT THE STUDENTS con-cerned for the social revolution have failed to do is to art iculate short-run programs which could give coherence and meaning to practical everyday activity. The result has been a dual tendency, which is only apparently contra-dictory, to plunge into activism without any clear concept ion of goals and /o r to lose interest and drop out .

In these circumstances it seems clear that the s tudents concerned for the social revolution ought to b e t h i n k i n g seriously about whether it is possible to develop a m e a n i n g f u l short-run program which is compat ible with long-run revolutionary goals. Unless this problem can be solved, it is hard to see how the movement can advance much beyond its long prevailing stage of episodic out-bursts on specific issues. Such outburs ts , a l though of positive educat ional value in exposing the nature of the system, have tenden-cies to come and go wi thout leaving any significant organiza-tional residue and with uncertain effect on the extent of the revolu-t ionary commi tmen t of the parti-cipants.

I f rankly do not know whether an action program of the sort required can be developed, but I do have some ideas which I would like those s tudents concerned for the social revolution to consider for whatever they may be worth .

Virgin Village has been busted! Third floor Durfee's infamous res-idents, known campus-wide for their refusal to accept the imposi-tions of parietal hours, finally succumbed to pressure and voted through the policy two weekends ago.

GONE FOREVER are those Friday night frolics which have made the living unit famous. No longer will the hallowed halls echo with the delighted female shrieks triggered by such games as "toss-her-in-the-shower" or "hey, let's-t o i l e t - p a p e r - s o m e b o d y ' s - r o o m " .

No longer can the curlered and pajamaed maidens gather together for an 11 p.m. uni-sex rap par ty , where amidst the fragrance of freshly popped corn and freshly showered bodies, discussions arise concerning the latest issue of American Girl magazine, or Mill's new flavor-of-the-month.

quired number of centimeters? According to the residents, the move was brought about mainly by exterior pressures.

After weeks of hearing WTAS's dedication number , "Dear Pru-dence," and experiencing paranoia each time they were asked to give their address, the reluctant ladies decided it was time to modify the "good, wholesome, apple pie kids" image at t r ibuted to them by their Resident Advisor.

STRONG FACTIONS were also at work within the living unit. The minority force organized a con-certed campaign, as they them-selves admi t ted , using insidious insinuation as their weapon. The walls were plastered with posters reading, "Get to Know Your Fel-low Man" and "Not All Men are Mad Rapis ts -What About Your Fa ther?" The bathroom re-sounded nightly with strains of "1 Can't Get No Satisfact ion." Men-tion was made frequently of the long, cold Holland winter ahead.

Although the enemy put up a strong fight by arguing, "Well, what if we want to take a shower when the men are up here?" the pro-parietalers finally succeeded in gaining enough converts to pass the measure.

SKEPTICISM HAS arisen as to whether the change in life style will actually change the atmo-sphere of the environment. One resident, upon hearing the news

that Virgin Village was no more, responded with a nonchalant , "Oh really, who's pregnant?"

However, there is a strong force of males ready and willing to have a part in the orientation process and an equally determined group of Durfee coeds who are out to prove that the third floor is not only a nice place to live, but a nice place to visit as well. Even an image as firmly established as that of the pristine Hope woman will have difficulty surviving the strength of this assault on isola-tionism.

Debators tie for second place at U of M Sat.

The Hope novice debate team tied for second place in the Uni-versity of Michigan Invitational Saturday with an overall record of five wins, one loss. The slot was shared with Central Michigan Uni-versity.

Joan Lautenschleger and Paul Bach took wins over Albion, Grace Bible College and Genessee Community College. The team of Vicki TenHaken and Mike Cooper defeated Macomb College and Kellogg Communi ty College and lost to Grand Rapids Junior Col-lege by a one-point margin.

Four courses to be offered the second semester of this year were approved by the Academic Affairs Board Wednesday.

Interdisciplinary Studies 80, "Data Analysis in the Behavorial Sciences," was passed for two credit hours. A seminar study in statistical analyses used by social scientists, the class will utilize the computer and statistical program library.

A concern over the number of hours the computer is available was expressed by Dr. Richard Brockmeier. He said computer time is at a premium at present, and fur ther courses utilizing the facility could mean s tudents would nof have adequate time to carry out projects.

A proposed course f rom the foreign language department also passed. French 70, "Medieval French Literature from the 9th to the 15th Centuries," will place special emphasis on poetry and theater. Readings and class discus-sions will comprise the three hour class, to be taught by Mrs. Linda Palmer.

Associate Dean for Academic Affairs Jack Stewart pointed out that by passing the course, the board apparently agreed with a phrase in the proposal which states that the "official e n d " of the medieval period was 1453. Dean for Academic Affairs M o r r e t t e Rider commented , "Af t e r all, this is a policy making board ."

Greek Week replaces fall rush, runs till Sat.

Greek Week, a week of infor-mal pre-rush activities sponsored by the six fraternities, began yes-terday and will continue through Saturday. The week will be con-ducted in the same manner as a formal rush period, with the indi-vidual fraternities offering their own activities, except that no final bids will be given out at the end of the week.

According to Keith Crossland, president of the Inter-Fraternal Council, Greek Week is designed to replace fall rush, which was dropped last year primarily for financial reasons.

Greek Week will enable anyone interested in joining a fraternity to become acquainted with the various fraternit ies and their mem-bers without the pressure of a formal rush. At the same time it will enable the fraternity members to become acquainted with those

A class in Yugoslav Literature in Translation was also passed. Yugoslav professor of comparative literature Nikola Koljevic, a Great L a k e s C o l l e g e s Association advisor, will teach the three hour course. Koljevic will work out a list of readings and give back-ground lectures in an a t tempt to compensate for the limited library resources available.

The depar tments of theater and French will jointly o f fe r a course next semester, with French students translating works from the original language into English and theatre s tudents producing some of them. For French majors, the course will carry a designation of French 95, and for theatre majors it will be Theatre 95. Faculty from both depar tments will instruct the three hour class.

Hope College anchor November 16, 1970

Curriculum reform may save money

Like manna from heaven, the final report of the ad hoc committee to revise the college's core requirements was presented to the Academic Affairs Board this week.

It couldn't have come at a better time (not that it was supposed to). First, there is a general dearth of discussion in many of the commit-tees and boards. This means that the AAB has little else on its mind than that report. And faced with fast approaching deadlines for action, AAB chairman Dr. Arthur Jentz decided with the approval of the

anchor e

board to meet in marathon sessions. The board means business, and it refuses to be criticized for unneces-sary delays or considerations of time-consuming trivia.

But there is an atmosphere of urgency for more reasons than sim-ply a November faculty meeting. It is tied with the question of fee in-creases, a point the anchor reported two weeks ago and which was brought home to parents this past week in those innocuous-looking let-ters from Van Raalte Hall. Hope stands at another one of those pro-verbial crossroads, this one dealing with the future of the nature of the institution. Will the college continue to raise fees, thus putting itself out of the reach of moderate income families and admitting only the very rich and those on full scholarships? Or can Hope College f ind other ways to keep costs down, efficiency up and quality consistent? We think that the curriculum reform proposal may provide at least a significant part of the answer.

ThiTiSso for several reasons. First, the proposal assumes that there is a faculty and there is a student body -period. It does not ask questions about the student-faculty ratio. It does not place importance on class size. These are thrown pretty much out the window by the ad hoc committee as being aspects of the present curriculum, but not part of the new proposal. The important

question to ask, the committee is saying, is this; Is each student devel-oping for himself an understanding of the educational process, and is he exploiting to the fullest the oppor-tunities for learning? He may be able to do that through dozens of methods outside the traditional class-room experience, the approach in which faculty-student ratios and class size become determining factors in evaluations of quality.

Secondly , a student seeking special goals is free to explore those goals outside the confines of Hope College's buildings and without bur-dening the staff here. For example, a student may wish to pursue the area of personnel management (perhaps one of the new liberal arts). Under the present structure, he could try to convince a budget-conscious admini-stration that courses should be taught here in management. Natur-ally, that would mean new library resources, an added faculty member and perhaps additional facilities. The answer he could expect is obvious. Or he could for all practical purposes transfer from the college, taking no courses here at all while he pursues his studies at another institution. But let's say that this student doesn't want to miss out on some of the great courses Hope offers just to study personnel management. He loses his chance to study an impor-tant field faced with those limited alternatives.

Under the revised curriculum pro-posal, he might be able to learn from experts in the area who are well-qual-ified to supervise the educational experience but who are not on the faculty. In effect, they become part-ners with the faculty in that student's education. They may de-mand no compensation whatsoever. The result is that the student is able to study what he thinks he can most benefit from, he could even get practical experience in the field, the college has an unlimited curriculum and there is no additional expense to the college. An educator's dream at Hope business office prices. Is there any better alternative to financial disaster than a flexible curricular structure?

Objects to editorial Misinterpreta t ions are o f t e n the p roduc t s

of un jus t i f ied reasoning. It is my feeling the

anchor edi torial en t i t led " I t ' s Y o u r Move, Congress" represents such a misunders tand-ing. The a n o n y m o u s a u t h o r w h o praises c o m m u n i t y government on one hand and then charges the S tuden t Congress wi th

favor of a S t u d e n t Activit ies fee and is also in favor of a c o m m u n i t y government sys-tem, then what d i f fe rence does it make

w h o ini t ia ted and received credi t for the change? Af t e r all, what are our priori t ies, a t tacking the Congress or mak ing Hope a be t te r college? But this is only par t of the

travesty of the AMc/ior edi tor ia l . If the anchor h ad a t t e n d e d S tuden t

the year fo r the purpose of repor t ing Congress activities then it would have been

aware that the initiative regarding the investigation in to s tuden t activity f u n d al locat ion began wi th the Congress. We are current ly in the stage of revising the policy that gives Congress the power to allocate f u n d s for s tuden t activit ies. Such a new a t t e m p t to involve s tudents in the appropr i -

I do not feel tha t a paper that pr ides itself in news repor t ing should go to press with half t r u t h s or w i thou t pursuing the objec t of a compla in t in order to clarify

Martha's phones by Art Buchwald

All Washington is talking abou t Martha Mitchell. It isn ' t a ques t ion of what she is going to say, as there are no surprises in

that any more . T h e big ques t ion tha t everyone is won-

dering a b o u t is " F r o m where is she going to make her next t e l ephone cal l?" As everyone knows , Mrs. Mitchell is a lways calling the press at some unear th ly hour in the night , but she doesn ' t wan t her hus-band J o h n to hear what she's saying.

A MONTH AGO, it was revealed she was making her calls f rom the b a t h r o o m . Last week, when she called a UP1 repor ter , she said she was speaking f rom the balcony of

her Watergate apa r tmen t . No one knows where Martha Mitchell 's

anchor review

Those daring young men in the football machine Editor's Note: This w e e k ' s o r review is wri t ten by Critiques Edi-tor Gerald Swieringa. He reviews (incredibly) the 1970 football sea-son at Hope College.

by Gerald Swieringa

Lately it has become somewhat fashionable for the professional athlete to exonerate himself f rom the games he plays and assume a pose with the men of culture. Jerry Kramer wrote Instant Re-play, a diary of a season with the championship Packers, which be-sides proving to be a highly lucra-tive venture, disproved the theory that a ' man 's intelligence was established as an inverse func t ion of his cubic propensities.

THEN FOLLOWED Jim Bou-ton ' s Ball Four, a literate and honest appraisal of professional baseball. Now there is published a book, Out of Their League, by Dave Meggyesey, a former mem-ber of the St. Louis Cardinal football organization. Even that apostle of butchery Dick Butkus has succumbed to the fancies of the age; he's recorded a series of Shakespeare readings.

And not to be considered a reactionary, nor yet one who bows before the intelligence of a Butkus, I have chosen to give this brief space to a review of my own participation in organized ath-letics. What follows is a summary of small college football as played at Hope College in the year 1970.

SEASONS BEGIN in sweat and t repidat ion. That is the first law. Actually both the sweat and trepi-dation begin sometime nigh to the middle of July , when the prospec-tive college football player realizes he has but a sign and a half of the zodiac wherein to prepare himself for the ensuing rigors of competi-tion. Thus he imposes upon him-self the discipline of the distance runner , gradually cut t ing down on his Camels, and knowing full well that no mat ter how extensively he prepares, his chances of surviving

the first week of September are disparingly meager.

Yet, possessed with the image of an armed Adonais, he jogs, t rots and eventually runs the pre-scribed three miles a day; push-ups himself to exhaustion and weight-lifts himself to l impness -all this in an a t tempt to disguise that sagging derigible, his stom-ach.

IT IS THEN ALMOST with an anticipation of relief that he ap-proaches the opening of pre-sea-son workouts . t4l have done my best ," he says, "and if I die in what follows, let it never be said, 'tis because he reported out-of-shape. ' " Ah, who can tell how many Spartan mothers ' hearts have quickened at those words.

So the workouts begin, and the odds notwithstanding, he survives them, in the morning he works, when the dew curls to the roots of the turf and the grandstand shad-ows slip toward obscuri ty. In the a f te rnoon he works, when the sun beats down with a late summer ' s vengeance and the Gator-aid dries on his lips. In the evening, he works, when the mercury vapors wash him in whiteness and the moon dances ' twixt the bars of his face mask. And then, like a bur-den uplif ted, like the pageant of life as it creeps f rom the shell, it is passed; it is game time.

NOW, THERE ARE two kinds of football games played at small colleges in 1970. One you win, and the other you lose. Failure is not the key and neither is modera-tion. No, the key is to win as many of the nine scheduled en-counters as possible. The more you win, the better football team you are; and the more you lose, the harder you work in practice the following week.

I t 's simple, until you realize that each of those nine o ther football teams enjoy working hard in practice about as much as you do. Hence, a complicat ion. In theatre this is called a scene of recognition when the hero realizes

at long last that those good people who had pledged to help him rescue the heroine are really the crooks who want her money and his life. The only difference is that in football it usually comes on the first play of the season.

UNFORTUNATELY, very few football teams are able to win all their games. And of course fortu-nately very few of them lose all their games. Like everything else, the vast majori ty of football teams are somewhere in the mid-dle, winning sometimes, losing others. To bring things closer to home, the Hope College Flying D u t c h m e n footba l l machine, ( that ' s what football teams are called sometimes, machines) won five of its games and lost four. That put them pret ty much in the middle, but a little better than most.

Specifically they started out pretty bad,r and so they had to work hard in practice. But a f te r a while they started getting bet ter , and so you 'd think they wouldn ' t have to work so hard in practice anymore. You'd think that , but that is not what happened.

T H R O U G H A STRANGE quirk of fate, called a good coach, they just kept right on working hard in practice, and by the end of the season they were really pretty good. They were so good, in fact , that by the time the last

r IV

GERALD SWIERINGA game of the year rolled around, ( that 's what years do, roll a round) they could even afford to miss a day of practice because it rained and still win the game, which they did.

And then the season ended, and everyone handed back their shoulder pads and helmets with their names in so they could get them back next year and started working out on the Universal Gym. Everyone, that is, except

the seniors, who weren' t allowed to put their names in their hel-mets and work out on the Univer-sal Gym on account of the fact that they won' t be back next year. They had to go to the pub instead.

THERE IS ONLY one of two things a senior can say when he is done^ and hangs up his spikes, ( that 's what seniors do when they're done, hang up their spikes). He can say, "Boy am I glad I hung up my spikes," or he can say, "Boy I wish I was out there playing again."

Now, considering how hard he has worked in practice over four years of small college football and considering his chances of receiv-ing major injury which would prevent him from serving his country, and considering how far behind he has got ten in school due to all the time he has been playing football , you 'd think he would say, "Boy am I glad I hung up my spikes."

You'd think that , but he doesn't . He says , -"Boy I wish I was out there playing again," be-cause he really loves it, playing football. He loves it so much he talks about it for a long, long time after his spikes are hung. Some-times he loves it so much he even writes reviews about it, that is when he is not performing Shake-speare.

Howard Hageman to address

convocation tonight at 8:15

Howard G. Hageman, noted author , columnist , minister and the second speaker of the newly i n i t i a t e d chape l convocat ion series, will lecture tonight at 8 :15 p.m. in Wichers Audi tor ium.

Hageman, who also partici-pated in the Student Church ser-vice yesterday, will speak on the topic "What is Dying, Christianity or Chr i s tendom?"

Considered the most effect ive preacher in the Reformed Church and one of the top preachers in the count ry , Hageman is presently pastor of the North Reformed Church of Newark, N. J. Chaplain William Hillegonds called him a 4 ' s t i m u l a t i n g , provocative lec-tu re r " who "makes Reformed the-ology seem as if it were writ ten yes terday."

Hageman, a regular columnist for the Church Herald, is a special-ist in the areas of preaching, church history and church music, and has writ ten five books as well as numerous articles for various theological journals.

A native of Lynn, Mass., he a t tended Harvard University and New Brunswick Seminary and re-

ceived an honorary doctor of divinity degree f rom Central Col-lege in 1957. He served as presi-dent of the General Synod of the Reformed Church in America from 1959-60.

DR. HOWARD HAGEMAN

Q.: Will the s tudent deferment be abolished?

A.: On April 23, 1970, the President asked Congress for authori ty to el iminate the s tudent deferment . Only Congress can provide this au thor i ty . In the past, Representat ive Mendel Rivers, Chairman of the House Armed Services Commit tee , has been a strong advocate of the s tudent deferment . However, recently he indicated he was having "second thoughts" about his position.

He said he "was becoming dis-enchan ted" with the s tudent de-ferment because of the college disorders fomen ted by deferred students. With this change in Rep-resentative Rivers' posit ion, the chances for the elimination of the student deferment are greatly in-creased.

Q.: If the s tudent deferment is abolished, what will be my chances of keeping the II-S defer-ment until I graduate?

A.: A recent Local Board Mem-orandum provided the following warning: "Under legislation now pending in Congress, a registrant who obtains a . . . II-S defe rment by enrolling on April 23, 1970 or thereafter may lose his defe rment in the f u t u r e . " The legislation referred to was proposed by the President on April 23. If enacted, s tudents in this year 's f reshman class may find themselves wi thou t a deferment next year.

Q.: Is the official list of dis-qualifying medical defects avail-able to the public?

A.: Yes. It is also contained in "The Draft Physical," available

for $1 f rom Brooklyn Bridge Press, P.O. Box 1894, Brooklyn, New York 11202.

Q. : .Can I get a complete copy of my selective service file?

A.: Yes. Every registrant, is entitled to secure a copy of his file. The procedure is as follows: (1) You should send a letter to your local board requesting a photostat ic copy of your selective service file (officially called a Cover Sheet).

(2) A copy of the letter must be sent to the state headquarters of the state in which your local board is located. Your local board can tell you the address of the state headquarters .

(3) The state director will then write to you informing you of the city in which the copying will be done. In most cases, this city will be the location of the s tate head-quarters.

(4) You must then make arrangements with a commercial duplicating firm in the city desig-nated. The arrangements should provide that a representative of the Selective Service System will bring in the file for dupl icat ion. The representative will not pay for the duplication. Thus, you must agree with the commercial firm on some form of advance payment or subsequent billing.

(5) When you have made these arrangements, write the state dir-ector informing him of the name and address of the firm.

(6) The state director will ar-range for an employee to take your file to the copying firm and moni tor the reproduct ion "in order to protect the confidential-

ity of the f i le ." You must pay "$5 per hour, or f ract ion thereof in excess of one-quarter hour for the employee 's time to moni tor the reproduct ion comput ing f rom the time of his depar ture until his return to his pos t . "

(7) The file and its copy will be returned to the state headquar-ters. You will be sent a bill for the monitoring service. Af ter the bill is paid, you will be sent the copy of your file.

Q.: Why is it impor tant for me to have a copy of my file?

A.: The copy provides you with protect ion against the possib-ility that local board members or clerks will alter the con ten t s of your file to cover up their mis-takes. For example, consider a conscientious objector classifica-tion. His local board denied the request and, as required by law, wrote down the reason and placed the letter in his file.

A few mon ths later, a cour t , in an unrelated case, declared this particular reason an improper ground for denying a C.O. re-quest. When the young man ' s board learned of the court case, it opened his file and changed the reason for denying his C.O. re-quest so that it now conformed to the law. Ultimately, the young man refused induct ion.

For tunate ly , his a t torney had made a complete copy of the young man ' s file before the board members had made any changes. At the trial he noticed the change. The case was thrown out of court with instructions to the U.S. Attorney to investigate the con-duct of the board members.

Outlines school goal

Kent president attacks jnry Psychologist says most people think of sex more than religion

(AP) The president of Kent Sta te University f u r t he r a t t acked on Saturday the findings of a s ta te grand ju ry that investigated the killings by Nat ional Guardsmen of f o u r s tuden t s at the school last May.

Dr. Rober t 1. White also out-lined a goal fo r universities and pleaded for " so f t ly spoken , t h o u g h t f u l expressions in the news c o l u m n s . "

WHITE SPOKE be fore a con-vent ion of Uni ted Press Inter-nat ional edi tors here as he elab-ora ted on remarks he made earlier this week in Washington. T h e grand ju ry repor t accompanied 25 ind ic tments .

The ju ry investigated fou r days of s t u d e n t unres t and the s tuden t deaths .

White said the grand ju ry had over looked " t h e magnif icent sta-bility and resolve" of Kent facul ty and s tuden t s t o reopen the uni-versity this fall. He said s tuden t s and facul ty have recognized "sig-ni f icant changes of policy, pro-grams and c o m m u n i c a t i o n s " in the university.

UNFORTUNATELY, these un-glamorous achievements are not the meat of the media and re-ceived lit t le or no a t t e n t i o n " in the press, he said.

White said the repor t ' s criti-cisms " t r anscended the admini-s t ra t ion of Kent S ta te^and tha t its charges "a re applicable to all of

higher educa t ion and place the safeguards of American democ-racy unde r f i re ."

THE GRAND JURY had charged White 's adminis t ra t ion with " l ax i ty , over-indulgence and permissiveness" a m o n g s tuden ts .

" L e t us again be reminded tha t the surest way to spark violence is to suppress dissent and close otf free express ion ," White said.

PORTAGE COUNTY C o m m o n Pleas Judge Edward W. Jones had restricted c o m m e n t on the repor t by all par t ic ipants , bu t the o rder was l i f ted Nov. 4 by U.S. District Judge Ben C. Green in Geve land as the result of lawsuits.

He said the universit ies ' chal-lenges f o r the f u t u r e would be to show that " f r e e and ful l ex-press ion" of v iewpoin ts can occur " w i t h o u t violence and with tol-erance fo r the views of o the r s , "

VanderLugt guides Hope in search for truth When you walk in to his off ice

(his door is almost always open) , you are inevitably greeted with a warm welcome. You look around the room, and you are surprised to see two books on top of the pile of papers: a Hope College catalog and a black lea there t te Bible.

FOR CHANCELLOR William VanderLugt , those two docu-men t s arc part of one phi losophy. He keeps them on his desk be-cause they are both essential: the Gospel is his inspirat ion, and Hope College is where he applies that inspirat ion.

' T h e relat ionship of fai th and learning is vi ta l ," he maintains. ' T h e educa tor asks, 'Who am 1 and what is man? ' The Christ ian unders tands that man comes to fullest s ta ture through Christ ian revelation. He sees himself in rela-t ion to God. And that is not someth ing you try to work to-ward in educat ion . It is the begin-ning point .

"I am an admirer of C.S. Lewis' phi losophy of a Christ ian educa t ion . He said that you ei ther s tand with the Christian fa i th or you stand without i t . "

PERHAPS IT IS that philo-sophy that gives VanderLugt such s t r ong convictions about the meaning of church aff i l iat ion for Hope College. "We have to keep our ties with the church . Tha t ' s essential. We don ' t want to be-come just a private col lege."

But hasn't the church o f t en confused its politics with its reli-gion in its dealings wi th the col-lege?

V A N D E R L U G T IS QUICK to answer: "Very much so. There is a great deal of misunders tanding on this issue. That is why there is tension between the church and the col lege."

F o r the Chancel lor , the church is not a " w a t c h d o g " of college pol icy; it is the philosophical and material basis for the college. And in a sense, that makes the college the wa tchdog of the church .

" T H E C O L L E G E N E E D S young people f rom the church and it needs the church ' s suppor t . What can the college give to the church? 1 think it keeps the church f rom becoming idolatrous, keeps it f rom thinking that it a lone has the whole t ru th . We have to tell the church that it must be large, all-inclusive. We can ' t allow the church to be con-fined to one point of view.

" T h e college has to keep the church f rom becoming too nar-row, t oo parochial. The religious sects that have no colleges become very narrow, parochial and devi-sive.

" T h e Gospel is such a rich and all-inclusive t ru th that no one has fully f a thomed it. T h e college is cons tant ly searching out that t r u t h . "

HE PAUSES FOR a m o m e n t , then adds, "The re will be ten-sions, but this is g o o d . "

Now he explains how the church fulfills its most impor tan t func t ion for the college. " T h e church must provide the basic phi losophy, the goals. But just how these are to be accomplished must be the college's dec i s ion ."

He implies that decisions at Hope should be made on the basis of goals and values, not "pres-sures ," even though the pressure might come f rom church people. "1 wouldn ' t be too concerned with (financial s u p p o r t ) . "

HE LIKENS THE circum-stances under which decisions are to be made to the s i tuat ion at a p o u l t r y farm. " T h e poul t ry keeper has an obligation to take care of the b i r d s - t o fa t t en them for the kill. But the purpose of the bird is entirely d i f fe ren t . The educa to r has to ask, 'What is the nature of the bird? ' T h a t ' s what educa to r s ques t ion , 'What is its purpose? '

"Educa to r s don ' t have to listen too much to propaganda , I guess you could say, or special interests, or consider the ef fec t it will have on the sources of funds . They initiate s tudents in to the heritage that comes down through the years. They shouldn ' t condi t ion .

"There is t oo much emphasis today on condi t ioning. . . . "

THE PHONE RINGS. "Excuse me a m i n u t e , " the chancel lor says as he reaches for the receiver. "Uh huh. I see. I 'm talking to the edi tor of the anchor right now; I'll bring it up with him. Okay Good-b y e . "

He explains that someone has called to ask abou t the. advertise-ment concerning cont racept ives in last week ' s issue. Some c o m m e n t s are t raded, and he indicates that the decision to run the ad in the paper is the sort of thing he was just talking abou t . You have to make the choice yourself , based on what you believe, he says. The

conversation re turns to the phone call, and VanderLugt adds, "We shouldn ' t let these sorts of things inf luence our decisions."

HE EXPLAINS THAT IT is the Christian faith which allows indi-viduals the f reedom to make deci-sions. "Some people think Chris-t iani ty hinders f reedom. But Christianity is not the 'celestial frost that shrivels the bloom of l ife. ' It is the l ifeblood that makes things bloom.

" T h e r e must be controls , of course, inner controls . You can ' t just let anything go. But you ' re a lways looking toward the fullness of a pe r son . "

HE PROPOSES T H A T Chris-tianity gives f reedom of inquiry. Then what about his earlier com-ment that "every depa r tmen t must take the posit ion that the Christian world view is their con-c e r n ? " What does it mean when

he says that staff members "should have a pre t ty good under-s tanding of the Christian fa i th"?

First, VanderLugt "absolute ly opposes" the theory that the edu-cator should present the neutral point of view. " T h e s tudent has the right to know where the fac-ulty member stands. 1 don ' t agree that a s tudent should not know his ins t ructor as a person. When you take one of my classes, you should know by the end of the course what my beliefs a r e - w h e r e I s tand. Maybe a facul ty m e m b e r should announce at the beginning of his class his personal biases and co lora t ions . "

IN O R D E R TO PROMOTE free inquiry, should there then be some facul ty members who are not professing Christians?

"Maybe so. I couldn ' t present , say, the communis t point of view. 1 think only a person w h o believes

in the communis t phi losophy can present it well. Should we then have a communis t on the s taff? 1 don ' t know. Maybe s o . "

Regardless of what phi losophy they may hold as individuals, fac-ulty members should be aware that Hope College is a church-affi l iated college, VanderLugt be-lieves.

" T H E R E MUST BE a c o m m o n l o y a l t y - a core. Whether everyone should have a c o m m i t m e n t to the same degree, I don ' t know. Tha t ' s something I've been struggling with. But there has to be a playing of the game according to certain rules."

For Chancellor William Van-derLugt , the rules are clear and direct: "a willingness to live life on God ' s terms.

•"This is what we present to the s tudents . It is our objec t ive ."

Charles de Gaulle: part ol a nation dies with the man Editor 's Note: Richard K. O'Mal-ley, chief of The Associated Press bureau in Frankfur t and the au-thor of the fo l lowing article, was AP bureau chief in Paris f rom 1959 to 1966, dur ing most of Charles de Gaulle's tenure as pre-sident.

(AP) He was a (all, haughty old man with a wintry smile and a forbidding gaze. Bui this man was France.

C H A R L E S I ) t GAULLE frus-trated his allies, irritated his s taunchest suppor te rs and made enemies of potent ia l fr iends. But above all, litis man loved his coun-try as few men have. Mis depar-ture leaves a ragged gap in the fabric ol a nat ion slill searching for its place in the world 's affairs.

To meet ("haries de (laulic was an exper ience in itself. From his great height he looked down be-nignly, like a fa ther presiding over the family (able. He always spoke soft ly and with a concern thai made a man feel he was welcome. But he also could be coldly angry.

Thai he was brave has been well documen ted .

BUT T H E R E ARE a few things about his bravery that have not been publicly ment ioned .

His conduc t dur ing one of the a t t emp t s on his life was perhaps the best illustration of the su-preme courage of Charles de Gaulle.

lie was on his way to his helicopter pad at Viilacoublay.

The Secret. Army organizat ion had planned his death , and thai of his wife. As his car sped along, the machine gunners opened fire f rom two side roads. At the sound, the old man remained upright but turned to his wife and said, "Bow your head . " Mine, de Gaulle, her-self of the same met t le , did not . Then ano the r burst struck the car, and she did bow her head. Bui the old general remained upright and said, with some asperi ty, "Why aren' t the police shoot ing b a c k ? "

WHEN THEY A R R I V E D safe-ly at Vii lacoublay, the old man said with the patieni resignation he chose when displeased; " T h e people who are charged with pro-tect ing me are as bad shots as those who are trying to kill m e . "

Anyone who saw the old man in public would never suspect that he had any t ime for light heart ed-ness. This was not so. An aide once said that he en joyed h u m o r provided it came f rom an intelli-gent man and not f rom a b u f f o o n .

One of his favori tes was George Brown, the former British foreign minister who o f t en got into hot water by ignoring diplo-matic niceties.

"ME LIKES BROWN," an aide once said. "Me likes the airy humor of the man and he respects his men ta l i ty . "

Charles de Gaulle seemed pon-derous to many , thrashing them with the "glory of F rance . " But when De Gaulle spoke of the glory of France, ii lived again, lily banners, ships of the line and all.

Not only a man has died. Part of a count ry died with him.

French youths hear memorials

(AP) Millions of school chil-dren all over France rose to their feet in class Saturday to hear excerp ts from Charles de Gaulle 's most poetic ref lect ions on France, the four seasons and life and death .

But there were a r g u m e n t s . in some Paris high schools abou t reading from the general 's mem-oirs, and young Maoists, despite Communis t China ' s a lmost rever-ent condolances to the De Gaulle family, staged loud protests .

The readings were at the order of Educat ion Minister Olivier Guichard. They began Sa turday , a normal four -hour school day in France, and will con t inue Monday in schools that did not receive the texts on time.

"I d idn ' t unders tand every-thing, but it was b e a u t i f u l , " one grammar school boy said. "One of the kids c r i ed . "

The selections, which appear to touch children most , a French repor ter said, were those final paragraphs f rom Volume 3 of the general 's memoirs , which begin: "Old ear th , old France, old m a n . "

Mourners con t inued to file past the now-sealed t o m b of the gen-eral in Colombey les Deux Fglises.

For the first t ime since the funeral Thursday , the general 's widow visited his grave, s topping silently for a m o m e n t and bending down to touch some of the floral pieces. Her son, Naval Capt . Philippe de Gaulle, read the names on the floral r ibbons to her.

Summary of curriculum reform proposal I. THE CONTRACT CURRICULUM Editor's Note: The Academic Affairs Board

Friday passed a 20-page, extensive curricu-lum reform proposal. The bill will go to the faculty for review later this month. The following is a summary of the proposal in paraphrase and direct quotation.

by Tom Donia

For over a year the ad hoc commi t tee on Revision of the College Curriculum Requirements , appoin ted by the Dean and responsible to the Academic Affairs Board, has struggled with its task: to examine Hope's present core curriculum, to decide whether that curriculum needs changing and to propose the changes judged neces-sary.

The commi t t ee concurred that the basic educational philosophy of the college was sound and its religious commi tmen t of crucial impor tance . Fur ther , the commi t tee agreed that some kind of required core program was necessary and that the basic, broad objectives of the present program were well f ounded .

The commi t tee ' s concern , a guiding principle, was tha t Hope 's c o m m i t m e n t to the individual s tudent should be more obviously an integral part of its core curr iculum. Hope 's s tudents have widely varying interests and concerns, and they arrive with very different pre-college pre-parations and widely differ ing native abili-ties. In the commit tee ' s j udgmen t , the present program does not respond ade-quately to those differences.

The current basic program allows only limited variation since all s tudents are required to take specified courses. For some s tudents such a def ined core may be helpful . But the commit tee cont inues to think of those s tudents for whom such a program may not be beneficial and those who may even find it an obstacle to their educat ions . Educational and personal growth does no t fol low one pat tern for all individuals, and it seemed possible and feasible to develop a core curr iculum pro-gram that could be more readily adapted to the individual s tuden t .

(If the s tudent is to have a greater role in designing his academic program, it is essential tha t the college provide that s tudent with a sound academic advising program. The following proposal is pre-dicated on an advising program that is bo th viable and thorough.)

What the commi t tee has a t t empted to describe is a program that can be more easily tai lored to each individual s tudent than the present program. The au thors do not p re tend that our proposal is complete or per fec t . They do believe, however, that it is f reeing enough to p romote creative educat ion, tha t is it is s t ructured enough to insure responsible educat ion , and that it is flexible enough to allow a m e n d m e n t with-out destroying its coherence.

P H I L O S O P H Y OF E D U C A T I O N A T HOPE C O L L E G E

The phi losophy of educat ion at Hope is conveniently ( though not exhaustively) summarized by the phrase, "Liberal educa-tion within the Christian t rad i t ion ." A liberal educat ion seeks to create an appreciative awareness of human achieve-men t s - in t e l l ec tua l , social and artistic. It is no t incompat ible with academic specializa-t ion . A certain breadth of unders tanding comes only through sustained deep in-

qui ry . Since liberal ar ts eduact ion seeks to

develop the whole man , a Christian world view invests educat ion with purpose and direct ion. Hope 's t radit ional Christian com-m i t m e n t provides a founda t ion for defining moral values and moral judgments . It is the commi t t ee ' s belief that an informed under-s tanding of the Christian faith provides a viable founda t ion for academic excellence and fu l f i l lment of human potent ia l . This c o m m i t m e n t is consonant with scholarly pursui ts and personal f r eedom.

THE OBJECTIVES OF THE CURRICU-LUM AT HOPE COLLEGE

The curriculum seeks to fulfill four

ma jo r objectives:

A. The ability to understand, evaluate and communicate ideas The s tudent should be able to discern assumpt ions and premises; t o examine

critically and evaluate arguments , gener-alizations, hypotheses and me thods ; to ident i fy biases and contradic t ions; to

assess the validity of relationships among assumptions, factual informat ion and conclusions. The achievement of this objective depends upon the stu-dent ' s ability to read and listen and to express himself persuasively and clearly.

B. A broadened awareness Through direct experience with various artistic and scholarly disciplines and perspectives, a student should transcend the provincialities of his earlier thinking and experiences. By acquiring scholarly habits and a t t i tudes and by encouraging and strengthening his curiosity he in-sures for himself a l i f e - long joy in learning.

C. The ability to engage in intensive study In-depth s tudy, commonly referred to as a " m a j o r " is a necessary step in the

development of a s tudent ' s powers of understanding. In-depth s tudy in one area makes superficialities in other areas less tolerable. Sustained orderly partici-pation in an academic discipline usually leads to a broadening of intellectual concerns.

D. A sense of the interrelatedness of knowledge, experience and responsibil-ity As the s tudent becomes increasingly aware of the interdependent aspects of human experience and knowledge, he is encouraged to develop for himself a personal philosophy of life which gives meaning and wholeness to his learning, experiencing and valuing. In particular, he should unders tand how the Christian world view can af fec t that phi losophy

of life.

THE I M P L E M E N T A T I O N OF HOPE'S E D U C A T I O N A L O B J E C T I V E S

The curriculum program was con-structed with the above philosophy in mind. The commit tee believes that the proposed program can be insti tuted with-out major changes in the current course offerings.

The commit tee did not explore o ther academic mat ters that have direct bearing on the curriculum, such as the grading system, credit hour calculations, gradua-tion requirements , calendar revisions and so. fo r th . The commit tee agreed that re-quirements per se are not incompatible with our educational philosophy and ob-jectives, but that requirements need to be more flexible than those currently in oper-at ion.

The proposed curriculum st ructure is divided into three basic components , which follow.

I. THE LIBERAL STUDIES PROGRAM

Introduction to Liberal Studies- This program, required of all f reshmen and lasting two semesters with a min imum of eight semester hours and a maximum of ten, seeks to provide an entree to liberal education in the Christian t radi t ion. It endeavors to provide conceptual frame-works in the freshman year which will enhance the comprehension and relevance of all other intellectual endeavors and

human experience.

The objectives of this program for the

student are: 1. an acquisition of those academic skills that are prerequisite to serious intellectual inquiry and discourse. 2. an understanding of fundamenta l concepts which apply to the organiza-tion of man 's knowledge, including some formal training in logic. 3. an understanding of the na ture of the world view and the particular Christian world view that this college states in its phi losophy. 4 . an appreciat ion of the roles of artist

and the aesthetic experience in human

society.

Since the above objectives do not exist in isolation of each o ther , and since they can be achieved in a variety of ways, the commit tee makes the following proposals:

1. That the Int roduct ion to Liberal Studies Program not be identified with any one existing depar tment and that the dean for academic affairs, in consul-tation with the Academic Affairs Board,

create a separate depar tment to adminis-ter this program. 2. That this new depar tment have one director and a commit tee of three fac-ulty members representing each division to implement the purposes and objecti-ves of the program. 3 . That the director and the commit tee outline the specific procedures for launching the program; that they draw the teaching staff f rom various segments of the Hope faculty; that they yearly submit an evaluation of the program to the Academic Affairs Board and the dean for academic affairs. 4. That the director and the commit tee be administratively responsible to the Academic Affairs Board.

The senior seminar program - The spe-cific purpose of this program is to help the student reassess and clarify his own values and their sources. Since no educational enterprise is amoral and since the Christian world view has implications for all moral value systems, this program should encour-age the s tudent to dig (sic) his responsibili-ties as a citizen and a scholar with intelli-gence and moral sensitivity.

The course requirement for this pro-gram is fulf i l led, normally during the senior year, by taking one of the approved senior seminar courses of at least three credit hours. Courses approved under the present program should , however, be re-examined to insure that they fulfill the above stated purposes.

Any proposed new senior seminar course should go through the established procedures for approval.

I I . T H E A R E A C U R R I C U L U M PROGRAM

The aim of the area curriculum program is the development of a broadened aware-ness. Rationale for the area requirements centers more upon increasing the s tudent ' s awareness of different perspectives, ap-proaches and processes than upon exposing the s tudent to particular bodies of know-

ledge. The commit tee divided up learning in

four broad* areas. The boundaries between the areas may not always be precise, but the Academic Affairs Board will have final author i ty in determining the area(s) to which a particular course will be assigned:

1 . The Inherited World, where perspec-tive and learning are f requent ly intui-tive, might include many courses in phi losophy, history, l i terature and reli-

gion..

2. The Behavorial World, where perspec-tive and learning are integrative and "organismic," might include most courses in economics , sociology, politi-cal science and psychology.

3. The Natural World, where perspective and learning are ordered and sequential, might include many courses in chem-istry, physics, geology and biology.

4. The Symbolic World, where learning and perspective and communicat ive and expressive, might include certain courses in mathemat ics , foreign language, com-municat ion and the fine arts, which are highly dependent on acquiring and using a particular language or symbol system.

It is proposed that there be a minimum area requirement of three courses (nine semester hours) f rom at least two depart-ments . s tudies in the natural world area must include a laboratory experience, and no more than three hours in the physical educat ion depar tment may be counted toward fulf i l lment of the behavioral world area requirement . In many cases, it will be advantageous for a s tudent to take two courses in sequence.

The proposed area requirements give the s tudent flexibility in choosing particular courses while being exposed to the major areas of knowledge. In consultat ion with his advisor, the s tudent may choose a curricular program appropriately aligned with his abilities, past learning and goals.

(Deficiency in any college entrance re-quirement as stated in the college catalog must be removed before graduat ion, and the course taken to remove such deficiency may not be used to fulfill the area curricu-lum requirements.)

The program of liberal studies, area curriculum and the departmental major may not be the best course pattern for all s tudents . Therefore , the commit tee pro-poses another curricular pat tern of limited enrol lment .

The contract curriculum provides a pat-tern for some s tudents who are capable of ^ and eager for more self-determination in their educat ion. It also allows for concen-trated studies in one area and broadened awareness later in the academic program of some students . But the contract program is not to be considered an honors program. The contract curriculum might apply to the area curriculum, or it could also apply to the pat tern for meeting the goal of in-depth study and , in some cases, replace the depar tmental major .

To implement this part of the proposal , the commit tee recommends:

1. Any s tudent may apply for admission to the program af ter complet ion of two semesters of s tudy. It will be the respon-sibility of the s tudent to provide con-crete evidence that he is both able and sufficiently responsible and motivated to pursue such an independent program. Such evidence might include his part academic record, psychological test re-sults, letters of recommendat ion , and an interview. 2. The s tudent must seek out one faculty member who will act as his mentor for a period normally not to exceed two semesters. The s tudent and the mentor will propose a contract which outl ines the course of s tudy . 3. The contract shall be submit ted to a faculty contract commit tee composed of the dean for academic affairs or the associate dean, one faculty member appointed by the dean, and two faculty members selected by the s tudent and his mentor . The faculty contract commit tee will evaluate the contract in light of the educational objectives stated above. The commit tee ' s approval of the contract shall be based upon criteria designed to maximize the possibility of the stu-dent ' s successful complet ion of the con-tract. 4. The writing of the contract is ob-viously of crucial importance. Care must be taken to make the contract as com-prehensive as possible. That contract shall state the educational objectives and means for carrying them ou t , pro-vide criteria for evaluation, acknowledge educat ional risks involved, and make provisions for "s ta tements of progress" to the faculty contract commit tee . 5. The faculty contract commi t t ee , having periodically evaluated the stu-dent ' s progress, will cert ify the fulfill-ment of the contract according to the terms proposed therein. Such certifica-tion might include writ ten and oral examinat ions . 6. The period of the contract shall be no less than a semester in durat ion and may extend to the time of graduat ion. If the contract shall extend to the time of graduat ion, which could be as long as three years, the faculty contract com-mit tee will have full power to determine the requirements for the bachelor of arts degree, as well as assigning honors.

7. Should a s tudent decide to terminate his contract before the time of its fulf i l lment , the faculty contract com-mit tee will have the final decision as to how many credit hours of work have been completed and where in the area curriculum they shall be applied. If the

contract work is to be applied to a major , then the contract commi t t ee will assign credit hours and grades in the area curriculum after consulting with the chairmen of the designated depart-ments .

MODUS OPERANDI

Since we think that the above proposal exhibits a curricular restructuring that is coherent , flexible and discreet, we there-fore r ecommend:

1. That the Academic Affairs Board adopt or revise the above proposal in time for faculty review at the November faculty meeting; and 2. That the Dean for Academic Affairs, a f te r final faculty approval of the above proposal , appoin t a new Commi t t ee to outl ine the procedures for installing the program for the fall semester, 1971.

Hope College anchor November 16t 1970

1970 basketball season will be a tough one by Mark VanOostenberg

Basketball at Hope College this year promises to be interesting. As the season approaches the only thing certain is that no one knows exactly what Hope is going to do. Coach Russ DeVette suggested in an interview that Hope will have a tough time this year. It will be one of Coach DeVette's most dif-ficult seasons. More this season than in recent years, Coach De Vette is being faced with the dilemma of who to play and in what combination to play them. DeVette cannot set up a game plan or strategy until he knows who will play.

THE GAME PLAN will be in-fluenced by several other factors. In sizing up the personnel of this year's prospective team, DeVette sees rebounding as Hope's greatest weakness and shooting as the team's greatest strength. In order to make up for an apparent lack of rebounding strength, Hope will rely on either its three big men or just desire, quickness, and speed. Hope will likely depend on a combination of both.

The Dutch will be led this year by first team al l -MIAA guard Dan Shinabarger. Shinabarger and Lorenzo Howard should form one of the best back court combina-tions in the MIAA this season. These two players are reasonably assured of starting births. Return-ing center Dave Gosselar is also counted on for heavy duty. Gos-selar was f i f th in field goal per-centage in the MIAA with a shoot-ing average of .524. Other possible starters are Marty Snoap and Ric Scott at forward, although Dave Harmelink is still in the running.

PRACTICE SESSIONS this year have been more strenuous than in the past. Coach DeVette wants to prepare his team for a

RUSSELL DEVETTE

running, hustling defense-minded season. The candidates for the team are seniors Keith Crossland, Lon Eriks, Gene Miller and Ric Scott; juniors John Constant, Dan Shinabarger, Lorenzo Howard, Marty Snoap and Jack Hankamp; and sophomores Doug Smith, Tom VanWieren, Brad Lyons, Lee Brandsma, Rick Ross, Doug Edema, Dave Harmelink, Tom Wolters and Dave Gosselar.

The Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association should be a well-balanced league with no one team standing out f rom the pack. As always Calvin is a pre-season favorite, but Alma and Olivet are also hungry for an MIAA champi-onship. Albion, Kalamazoo, Hope and Adrian can not be called strong contenders, but in as much as there are unknown quantities on each team no predictions of doom have been made.

CALVIN WILL be extremely tough with many returning letter-men. The two best are Doug Taatjes, a second team MIAA for-ward, and outstanding defensive man Del Willink. Add to these fine performers Calvin's tremen-dous junior varsity team of last year and it is not hard to under-stand why Calvin will be strong this season. Alma's strength lies in the MIAA's leading scorer of last season, Charles Hudson, and Ike Neitring, a 6 , 6 , , junior center from Grand Haven. Olivet has perhaps the finest all-around play-er in the league in center Dave Maliasz. Olivet is also an extrem-ely good-shooting ball club,

Hope College will begin its sea-son away Dec. 1 against Concordia. The Dutch will play their home bout debut with Aquinas Dec. 5. Hope College is faced with the difficult task of playing its first three MIAA games away from the friendly home town fans. These first three games could easily make or break the Dutch as they will be playing Albion, Calvin and Olivet.

ADD TO THIS the fact that six of Hope's first nine league games will be played away. If the Dutch can survive the first half of the season, the schedule will be in their favor down the stretch. The

question is whether Hope's advan-tage in the final weeks of the season will be worth savoring.

The Dutch will be participating in a Holiday Tournament Jan. 1 and 2. The tournament could be more accurately described as an opponent exchange. Hope and Calvin will be playing two double-headers against Ohio Dominican and Elmhurst of Illinois, but will not be playing each other. This opponent exchange will set the stage for Hope's first meeting with the Calvin Knights. The real im-portance of the opponent ex-

change is the chance it affords Hope and Calvin to scout each other.

A few factors can be predicted. Dan Shinabarger will score his 700th career point the very first time he tallies. Lee Brandsma, a transfer student, will be in the plans for the second semester.

Calvin has lost only once in the last three years at home. This suggests that playing away from home can be tough. These factors should help to make this season an interesting and exciting one for MIAA fans and players.

GVSC and Georgetown added to football season

Hope College will play six home games during the 1971 foot-ball season Athletic Director Gordon Brewer announced re-cently.

The Dutchmen will begin two new rivalries and renew another that ended in 1959.

The biggest attraction on the 1971 schedule promises to be the season finale when the Dutchmen host Grand Valley State College of nearby Allendale.

Harriers climb to fifth place, then

mix-up blows NCAA meet chance The Hope harriers paced their

way one position closer to the top of the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association track con-tender list Wednesday by defeat-ing the Calvin Knights, '133-163, at Albion.

The win brought the Dutch-men a share of the f i f th place pos i t ion - t i ed with Calvin- in the MIAA final standings.

Alma took first place in the league tournament with a score of 21. The four-mile heat was taken by Alma standout Don Yehle with a time of 20:08. Hope's Brian Claxton placed first among the seven Dutchmen, coming in num-ber 18 in the field with a time of 21:26. Close behind were Nick Kramer at the 24th spot, Marty Stark at 28th , Ron Bultema at 29th , Jim Mattison at 34th, Bob S c o t t at 39th and Gene Haulenbeek at 41st.

In Saturday cross country ac-tion, Mark Covert of California

State at Fullerton captured the individual title and Eastern Mich-igan grabbed the team crown in the 13th NCAA College Division meet.

Covert, finishing some 25 yards ahead of John Cragg, St. John's , Minn., was clocked in 25:13 over the five-mile course at the Chicago Country Club. Defending champ-ion Ron Stonitsch of C. W. Post finished f if th.

A remarkable total of 337 run-ners finished in the grind through winds gusting up to 35 miles an hour in a 38-degree temperature. But due to a mix-up "between here and the NCAA head-quarters ," the Hope team was not registered for the meet and was not allowed to run, according to Claxton. "We're still in the dark about it. All we know is that it was their fault ," he added. "We took a long ride for nothing."

Grand Valley will be competing at the varsity level for the first time in 1971.

The game most likely will be the last between the two colleges, too. Hope has agreed to meet Grand Valley to fill its nine game schedule, but with the under-standing that there are no other vacancies on the Dutch schedule until the 1976 season. By that time it is unlikely that either team would agree to be football oppo-nents, since Grand Valley projects an enrollment of 6,000 students by then while Hope's is not antici-pated to surpass 2,500.

Hope's other new opponent will be Georgetown, Ky., a four year Baptist College with an en-rollment of 1,500 men and wom-en.

The Dutchmen will be meeting Wabash, Ind., for the first time since 1959 when Hope posted a 19-13 victory. In the ordy other meeting Wabash defeated Hope 41-7 during the 1956 campaign.

Hope will play three home Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association games including an Oct. 23 homecoming meeting with Kalamazoo.

Schedule: September 18 - Franklin, Ind. September 25 - Wabash, Ind. October 2 - at Georgetown, Ky. October 9 - Albion October 16 - at Olivet October 23 - Kalamazoo October 30 - at Alma November 6 - Adrian November 13 - Grand Valley
