" I s n ' t it wi ld?" " T h i s is un-believable!" It'll be nice when it's f in i shed ." These were s o m e of the immedia te reac t ions of the coeds who m o v e d into Dyks t r a Hall, the new w o m e n ' s d o r m i t o r y .

Dyks t ra Hall is the first do rmi -tory on c a m p u s in which the • "c lus t e r " concept is employed . Unlike the older d o r m s which have long hal ls with ident icah r o o m s lined up a l o n g either side,

'Dyks t ra Hall is m a d e up of smal l lounges which a re each s u r r o u n d -ed by several r ooms . The gi r ls living in the d o r m h a v e m o r e or less p r i v a t e l ounges in which they can s tudy or re lax .

T H E " C L U S T E R " concept of hous ing is designed to " e n c o u r a g e a deeper and m o r e effective cross-fertilization of ideas, enr iching the life of the s tuden t , " a c c o r d i n g to the Admin is t ra t ion .

The art depar tment is assem-bling a q u a n t i t y of p r in t s to be hung in the lounges . Each clus-ter will select representa t ives who will choose pr in t s for their lounge .

The new d o r m is the larges t women ' s , residence on c a m p u s , hous ing 284 students. Th is ex t ra hous ing space h a s enab led the Adminis t ra t ion to requ i re all single n o n - c o m m u t i n g s tudents to live on c a m p u s .

G R O U N D WAS B R O K E N for Dyks t r a hall last March , l eav ing the bu i ld ing uncomple ted when" students moved in last week. Since the intercom system h a s not been installed yet, cries of " m a n on the f loor ! " a re f requent ly h e a r d as ma le callers come to pick up their dates. Workmen can a l so be seen inside the d o r m , p a i n t i n g and f in i sh ing cons t ruc t ion .

One s o p h o m o r e coed comment -ed, " I t ' s kind of exciting with all these men walk ing a r o u n d . " Other react ions to the d o r m were less f avo rab l e . Some girls c o m p l a i n e d that the l ight ing was p o o r , that the coat r acks fell down , a n d that there were no hooks or towel racks in the r o o m s . A l though some gir ls had m i n o r cri t icisms such as these, the m a j o r i t y indi-cated tha t they will like the d o r m when it is f inished.

T w o w o r k m e n who were install-ing a lock on one of the d o o r s . criticized s o m e aspects of the de-sign of D y k s t r a Hall , such as the scarci ty of electrical outlets a n d light switches in the d o r m , but agreed that it w a s bas ica l ly well built.

T H E C O N S T R U C T I O N of Dyks t r a Hall w a s m a d e poss ible ' by the Cent ra l Re fo rmed Church of G r a n d Rapids , which h a s pledged $ 2 5 , 0 0 0 to Hope Col-lege for a res idence hall with the intention of p re sen t ing a p ledge of that a m o u n t each year until a total of $ 5 0 0 , 0 0 0 , a p p r o x i m a t e -ly half the cost of the d o r m , h a s been d o n a t e d . Hope ' s Admin i s t ra -tion will seek c o n t r i b u t i o n s to p a y the rest of the cost.

The hall is n a m e d after the Rev. J o h n A. D y k s t r a , Minister Emeri tus of Centra l Reformed Church for n e a r l y 4 0 years . Rev. Dyks t ra a l so served on the Hope College B o a r d of Trus tees for 35 years .

t rove r sy conce rn ing the selective service in genera l and student deferments in pa r t i cu la r , President L y n d o n B. J o h n s o n issued an Executive Order on June 30 to c lar i fy a n d re inforce the present draf t r egu la t ions .

The o rde r s tates that a student des i r ing a 2-S classif icat ion must file a written request with his lo-cal d ra f t b o a r d . T h e appl ica t ion for this can be obta ined in the Records office, a cco rd ing to Dean of Students Robert De Young.

The student mus t p r o v i d e his local b o a r d each year with con-vincing evidence that he is pur-suing a full-time course of instruct ion sa t is factor i ly . In or-der to d e m o n s t r a t e sa t i s fac tory p rogres s , a s tudent must h a v e ea rned 25 per cent of the credits needed for a degree by the end

of his f r e s h m a n year , 5 0 per cent by the end of the s o p h o m o r e yea r and 7 5 per cent by the end of the j u n i o r year. The student must ea rn 2 0 per cent of the necessary credits if he par t ic ipa tes in a five year p r o g r a m . The academic year is 1 2 - m o n t h s long acco rd ing to selective service definit ion, so that a s tudent ill du r ing the regu la r session m a y still meet the require-ments by a t tending s u m m e r school.

Dean De Young a l so points out that men who become eighteen yea r s of age must register with their local b o a r d . This can a l so be done t h rough the Records of-fice, in which case the College becomes a l iason between the stu-dent a n d the local b o a r d . This must be done within ten d a y s of the s tudent ' s eighteenth bir th-day .

Synod Meets, Views Merger

Proposal With Presbyterians The p r o p o s e d merger with the

Southern Presbyter ian Church was the chief topic ,of conversa -tion at the 161st annua l ( ieneral Synod of the Reformed Church in America held J u n e 7 in Bristol, Tennessee.

The Synod met at Bristol with the General Assembly of the South-ern Presby te r ian Church and a special commit tee of 24 discussed the p roposed p l a n of union. Dr. N o r m a n E. T h o m a s read the first draf t of the p l a n , which was then referred to the respective classes and consis tor ies for s tudy and criticism.

The C o v e n a n t of Mutual Re-sponsibili t ies, which was p r e p a r e d by the Educa t ion Commit tee to m o r e clearly define the relat ion-ship of the Church and its three affil iated colleges, was sent back to committee for rewording .

In the p r o p o s e d covenant , the* Church p romised to give its "whole-hear ted interest, f a v o r and f inancia l s u p p o r t " to Hope, Cen-tral , and Nor thwes te rn Colleges. The covenan t , as presented to the Synod , a lso assured the schools "ful l f reedom to pu r sue all t r u th . "

The delegates to the Synod did not d i sagree with the m a i n ideas of the covenan t , but objected to details of work ing .

" I a m confident that , when a few mino r revis ions are made , the d e n o m i n a t i o n will a p p r o v e it." sa id Stuart Post, Director of Church Relations. " I t was just a ques t ion of w o r d i n g . "

At the Bristol meeting Rev. Har-old Schut of Schenectady was elect-ed S y n o d president for the 1967-68 term. Rev. Schut is pas to r of the Scot ia Reformed Church and holds the 1). 1). degree.

On June 26, H o p e College 's s u m m e r school commenced under the direction of Dr. H e n r y Ten Hoor , professor of English. This y e a r ' s session, a cco rd ing to Dr. Ten Hoor , included the r egu la r class offerings p lus four special s tudy g roups .

A Very Good Ifear


TH E P H R A S E " I H O P E we h a v e a g o o d y e a r " is p r o b a b l y the most p o p u l a r one d u r i n g the first week

of an academic year . S tudents hear it in the c l a s s r o o m and in the d o r m i t o r y , a n d

faculty m e m b e r s toss it a b o u t left and r ight . For las t year is now rea l only in the Archives Office. T h e entire college com-munity faces new l ea rn ing oppor tun i t i es , new experiences, new challenges and new problems- in shor t , new impe tus to ma-tu r ing , which is educat ion in tts b r o a d -

est sense. Members of s tudent g o v e r n m e n t a n d

nnchor staff m e m b e r s h a v e p r o b a b l y heard it m o r e often t h a n most . We a s members of this g r o u p s h a r e the wish for a smooth- , runn ing , p ro f i t ab l e session a n d p romise to work diligently to achieve it.

A look at last yea r does not cause the looker to be wildly optimistic. Last year was a s t o r m y one at best. It w a s a yea r of c h a p d protes ts a n d ancho r inves t iga t ions , of Opus censorsh ip and

Admin i s t r a t ive disputes , of c h a r g e s and c o u n t e r - c h a r g e s a n d , a b o v e ail , a n g r y

minds a n d in ju red feelings. N o one in his r ight m i n d could wish f o r a year tha t was not app rec i ab ly m o r e reward-ing than that .

So we p r o p o s e a b a r g a i n - a bar-ga in in which each m e m b e r of the endre college c o m m u n i t y pledges n o t h i n g m o r e than to do his Job honest ly, Intelligently a n d wdl . Only in this w a y can the hoped-for g o o d yea r come a b o u t

T o o of ten this week we h a v e been asked whether the a n c h o r is g o i n g to s tar t off with a b a n g . The quest ion comes ou t of an e r roneous Impress ion of o u r activi-ties, and we hope it is soon corrected. H o p e College h a s an u n u s u a l number of g o o d qual i t ies . If we did no t think so, we would not be here. U n f o r t u n a t e l y , s o m e s i tuat ions need attention. We see our Job as repor t ing both the good a n d bad with

equal a c c u r a c y and in p rope r p r o p o r t i o n , and trust t ha t criticism will be a smal l p a r t of our j o b .

U T IT T A K E S two par t i es to m a k e a b a r g a i n , a n d we w o u l d ask fo r a s imi l a r p ledge of g o o d faith in

re turn. Many, botL s tudents a n d faculty,

tell us tha t they would not w a n t our j o b s

for the wor ld . We ask that their fears be p r o v e n g round les s .

We recognize that nerves a r e still r aw f r o m p a s t encounters , and tha t s o m e edi tor ia ls a r e likely to be miscons t rued . But we feel that o u r col leagues and su-pe r io r s will see diat, as Journa l i s t s of so r t s , we see a need to comment on situ-a t ions tha t requ i re it, whether f a v o r a b l y o r u n f a v o r a b l y . We hope diat all can view c o m m e n t s which a re less than com-p l i m e n t a r y no t as threats to security or p e r s o n a l vendet tas , but as const ruct ive criticism to be taken for what It's worth o r rejected fo r what it 's not.

In his letter to the f r e shmen . Presi-dent VanderWerf oudines the Ideal rela-t ionsh ip between the teacher and the t augh t , ro les which student and p ro fessor often exchange . " W e a re p a r t n e r s in the great en te rpr i se , , , he wrote. "We need each o t h e r . "

The ancho r canno t agree more , but last y e a r ' s record in this d e p a r t m e n t was not impressive. The chapel dispute is an example . In a poll taken by the Religious Life Commi t t e r , students rated c o m p u l s o r y c h a p d a s one of the college insti tut ions tha t least affected their spir i tual develop-m e n t Indeed, the RLC, a body m a d e up of both s tudents and facul ty , presented what it considered to be a r e a s o n a b l e a l t e rna t ive to the present chapel system.

T h i s was overwhelmingly defeated by the facul ty - a move that does not indicate " m u t u a l t rust and respect ."

E A R E N O T s a y i n g that the A d - ' minis t ra t ion should bow to all the wishes of the students. There

were m a n y other fac tors involved in this decision. But if " c h a n g e is the h a l l m a r k of the d a y , " as President VanderWerf sug-gests , the results might h a v e been quite different.

But a s we ask others to forget old q u a r r e l s , so must we. A new year is before us, with oppor tun i ty to forge new trails, r igh t old w r o n g s and mend old relat ion-ships. Ways to effect this h a v e been con-templa ted since June , and their time is here. N o w we must r emember tha t " O u r respons ib i l i ty is not d i scharged by the p r o n o u n c e m e n t of v i r tuous e n d s . " Let's s top Just h 6 p i n g for a good yea r , and h a v e one.

No Worries

Orie of the t rouble t with the world these days is that people have loo much to w o r r y abou t . You ba re ly get over wor-ry ing about one thing and you have to start wor ry ing about someth ing else.

Most Amer icans aren ' t equipped to worry about everything, and yet we con-stantly are told by scientists, poli t icians, generals , social workers , doctors, lawyers, TV commenta to r s , newspaper editorial writers and columnists that we 'd better start worry ing , or else.

MY F A M I L Y thinks we h a v e the solu-tion to the p rob lem. And since it 's worked so well for us, I thought I'd p a s s it on to other people in hopes it might work for them. We decided a couple of weeks a g o that each of us would worry abou t only one thing, to the exclusion of all other things.

For example , my father decided to wor ry only abou t the Middle East . Since he's been worr ied about the Middle East, none of the rest of us h a s to w o r r y about it, and we're f ree to wor ry about the things that interest us.

My sister Alice worries a b o u t China for us. Any t ime she r eads any th ing about Mao or the Red Gua rds she'll call us up and say , " I ' m very wor r ied . " N a t u r a l l y , we're very re laxed abou t it because we a lways say to ourselves, " C h i n a ' s her p rob l em."

MY S I S T E R Edith worries abou t the popu la t ion explosion. Why she decided on the popu la t ion explosion we'll never know, except that o n e d a y she claimed she heard either on the J o h n n y Carson show, the Merv Griffin show or the Joey Bishop s h o w - s h e qan ' t remember which one - tha t b y the year 2 0 0 0 each person will have only 20 s q u a r e inches of land to s tand on. Now she sk ims t h rough the p a p e r s , and if she doesn' t f ind a popu l a t i on explosion s tory she's f ree to enjoy the day .

We were fo r tuna te in that my Uncle Oscar said he 'd , l ike to wor ry abou t Viet-n a m . N o one really wanted to worry abou t Vietnam, since it takes up so much time, but Oscar said he'd ra ther wor ry about Vietnam that the riots in America ' s cities.

My sister Doris, who is a F r a n c o p h o b e , worries exclusively about Char les de Gaulle. She got into a fight with Edith, m y popula t ion-explos ion .sister, the other d a y because Edith said De Gaulle really wasn ' t .worth wor ry ing about . But Doris sa id she 'd wor ry about what she d a r n pleased, and she 's been very anx ious ever since De Gaulle 's trip to C a n a d a .

MY W I F E chose to wor ry abou t the cigarette s m o k i n g scare. 1 tried to talk her out of it because the more she wor-ries^, the m o r e cigarettes she smokes . But since she now does all the w o r r y i n g for us about cigarettes, the rest of the fami ly c a n cont inue to smoke without a ca re in the world .

My brothers-in-law also have chosen one subject each to wor ry about . H a r o l d worr ies about auto safely, Arthur worr ies a b o u t air pol lut ion, but the only thing we could get Iz to wor ry about was the Bos-ton Red Sox.

Because I live in Washington, the fam-ily asked me to worry about President J o h n s o n . At first I" objected, since worry-ing about L.B.J, is a full-time job and I wouldn ' t h a v e any time to think about a n y t h i n g else. But they pointed out that since I 've been worried about him for such a long time for myself, I could just as easily do it for them.

Great to be Back By J o h n Nival a

Exercising one of my new found pow-ers, 1 headed down to a local establish-ment to celebrate my re turn to Ottawa County ' s largest mother figure. Slipping onto a stool, I o rdered a dra f t and glanc-ed a r o u n d the room. Seated next to me was a dis t inguished look ing gent leman who was careful ly dissecting a p a c k a g e of Kools. He separa ted the filters f rom the cigarette, threw the tobacco away , and smoked the filters. Ent ranced by this rit-ual , 1 asked him what kind of effect he got f rom s m o k i n g filters.

"1 don ' t really enjoy them," he re-plied. " I t ' s just a habit . You see, after much soul sea rch ing and contemplat ion, 1 decided that s m o k i n g tobacco was stain-ing my temple ." He emphas ized the point by striking his chest, p r o d u c i n g a sound as flat as Twiggy. "As you can pla inly see, the filters a re white and , therefore, pure. Besides, the Surgeon-Genera l ' s re-port scared the devil out of m e . "

The waitress re turned with my order , and the gent leman o rdered a " M o m s Ma-be ly" which consisted of a g lass of Thun-derbi rd Gold Label mixed with buttermilk. After a few sips of that, he became talk-ative.

" Ik) you ftnow why 1 am so jou rn ing in this delightfully a tmospher ic p lace?" he a s k e d

1 took another look a round . " Y o u mean this b a r ? If you want delights, 1 know this little place where. . . "

" N o , no, my dear boy . This place is f ine." He leaned closer to me. ' You know, I don' t u sua l ly come into these places. I do most of m y d r i n k i n g in my basement. Why, if a n y b o d y ever recognized me, I would be ru ined soc ia l ly . "

" T h e n why do you take the risk of coming in here?" L asked.

"Well ," he explained, " I ' m a liberal by conviction, and if one is go ing to help those who are less for tunate , 1 sup-pose one must associate with those whom he is t ry ing to he lp . " He pulled out a Vicks inhaler and took a deep breath. " Y o u realize, of course, that it takes a lot of for t i tude to be a l iberal. I 'm con-stantly beset by evil thoughts . Sometimes, for instance, 1 almost wish it were p o p u l a r

to be a conservat ive . Ah, if only William Buckley had had a brother who was pre-s ident ."

Impressed by this m a n ' s a lmost reli-g ious devot ion to his cause, 1 bought him another d r ink , wisely s ign ing the check with my pen n a m e of Carr ie Na t ion . Think-ing he might be a sp reade r of govern-mental good will, I a sked him what so-cially underpr iv i leged g r o u p he was t ry ing to help.

" I 've been sent here to see what 1 can do to help the students at the college," he replied. " I t ' s going to be a great chal-lenge for me. If 1 didn' t h a v e their best interests at hear t , I don ' t think 1 would be able to go t h rough with this a s s ignmen t . "

" O h rea l ly? What makes it so h a r d ? " Cleverly s l ipping his elbow into the

a s h t r a y , the gen t leman tried to enlighten me. " S o n , the enormi ty of the task should be readi ly evident. How a m I, well bred, read , and p a i d , go ing to c o m m u n i c a t e with a bunch of radical college s tudents? I know all a b o u t them. I r ead that article in Time. They are all m o r a l l y and intel-lectually sick. I know all abou t their dis-gus t ing p reoccupa t ions with politics, s-e-x, and things like that. 1 can ' t u n d e r s t a n d why there must be this cons tan t p re s su re for changes. Kids are just not concerned with impor tan t th ings a n y m o r e . What they need is s o m e b o d y to guide them back in the right direction. T h a t ' s . w h a t I 'm here f o r . "

" S i r , " I t imidly asked, " h o w do you p l a n to reach t hem?"

"Well, I 've got two topics that shou ld appea l to the s tudents and still leave them with something lasting. One topic is " J o h n Calv in and Jack Dempsey: A Com-p a r i s o n , " ,but I lean more t o w a r d the second one. It h a s m o r e of a timely impac t . "

"Oh , p r a y tell, what is it?" "Well, i t ' s , p a r t of a s tudy I'm d o i n g

on religion in the movies. It's entitled T h e Char i smat i c Personal i ty of Huntz Hall. That ' l l get to them." ..

"Excuse me sir, but it has a l r eady reached me," and clutching my side, I hurr ied toward the door . It's great to be back.

Green Power on the Move

President VanderWerf Salutes Freshmen Edi to r ' s N o t e T h e fol lowing is an open letter f r o m President Calvin A. Vander Wo-f to the f r e s h m a n class of 1971.

Dear Frosh : Green power is the wa tchword of the

hour . The green w a v e is sweeping t hecampus . Even the most colorbl ind a m o n g us

can see its surge. And, you know, there is something

exhi la ra t ing , if not downr igh t inspiring, in obse rv ing a g r o u p of 5 0 0 almost total s t rangers , faced with c o m m o n challenges, establish a sense of identity as a cohesive g r o u p with compel l ing spirit and enthu-s iasm. Those of us who h a v e been a r o u n d awhile realize how effective such esprit de c o r p s can be in o v e r c o m i n g the a d v a n t a g e s of superior experience a n d know-how. ( E v e n the s o p h o m o r e s u n d e r s t a n d that!)

And so, to all you m e m b e r s of the Class of '71, 1 s a y , " Y o u r unity is heart-w a r m i n g . "

LAST N I G H T 1 heard one of our senior p rofessors say, "We 've waited 103 yea r s for this class -- and , believe me, it's been worth i t ."

After the green is o iscarded , after either ' 70 or '71 t akes that a n n u a l ducking in the river, and after the Nykerk Contest is written into his tory , you will be called u p o n to e x p a n d your a l legiance and to establish a b r o a d e r identity with the total b o d y of Hope s tuden t s - sen io r s , jun iors , and . yes, even s o p h o m o r e s . C o m m o n in-terests, c o m m o n chal lenges, and the goa l s and asp i ra t ions you cherish together, will mcike this easy. Much to your surpr i se you m a y even find yourself w o r k i n g quite na-tu ra l ly with s o p h o m o r e s in mutua l respect a n d esteem on p rob lems that face you.

But to stop there, I believe, would not on ly miss the great genius of Hope Col-lege, but also r o b the world of the unique, desperately needed contr ibut ion all of us together as a college have to offer.

WE CAN B E G I N to p lay our role in the c o n t e m p o r a r y d r a m a only as we all work together - facul ty and student genera t ions j o in ing h a n d s and poo l ing our resources in an act ivated concern for the bui lding of a better t omor row, not on ly in the n a r r o w a rea of our own self-interest, but on the ills and cancers that a re p l agu ing and ea t ing a w a y at the hu-m a n family.

DR. C. A. V A N D E R W E R F

Le t ' s . l ook first at our own local and pa roch ia l p r o b l e m s on campus . Your four years here will see changes , and lots of them. All of us who will be here after you leave four years f rom now want to see changes . In fact, a n y o n e who cannot tolerate change in our day had better head for the nearest s torm cellar, for change is the h a l l m a r k of our day .

But all of us, 1 am sure, want that change to be for the be t te r - to be uplift-ing, to l iberate us for the noble, not the sordid , and to free us to be our best selves.

FOR T H E B U I L D I N G of a better Hope College, the channels are wide open. I can s a y in complete candor that 1 know of no college where the faculty respects more highly, or seeks more earnestly, on a democra t ic basis , the contr ibut ion of the students in the gove rn ing of our col-lege communi ty .

We are pa r tne r s in the great enter-prise; we need each other.

Mix the fire, the vigor , the pass ion , the conviction, the impatience, and the divine dissat isfact ion of your genera t ion with the experience, the d i spass ion , the

'IF' Committee Presents Program

For Vitalizing Campus Talk A commit tee n a m e d " I F " has been

formed at H o p e to m a k e " the c a m p u s a more lively and posi t ive fo rum of ideas ," and it h a s suggested a P r o g r a m for Intellectual Ferment , " P I F " , to a num-ber of o rgan i za t i ons on campus .

A C C O R D I N G T O a descriptive letter publ ished b y the g r o u p , the recent out-b reaks caused by the conflict between or-der and f reedom, such as c a m p u s protest o rgan iza t ions , the God is dead movement , and way-out ind iv idua l i sm in the arts, m a k e it necessary to p r o v i d e significant d ia logue in the c a m p u s communi ty .

The m e m b e r s of the IF committee pre-sented the p r o g r a m s to the o rgan iza t ions on c a m p u s t h r o u g h the letter. To the Fresh-men Orientat ion Commit tee they suggested an open discussion p r o g r a m about b o o k s which touch on the theme of f reedom and order.

To Alpha Scholars and their facul ty -adv isors they suggested a series of dis-cussions b a s e d on a c o m m o n read ing or a lecture.

TO T H E I N S T R U C T O R S of the In-t roduct ion to Liberal Studies Courses they suggested discuss ion as well as writ ing

on the themes of f reedom and order based on read ings and lectures.

To the officers and adv i so r s of de-par tment clubs the IP' committee suggested that they use the theme of order and free-d o m as a bas i s for discussion in their specific field; for instance, an examina t ion of free enterprise versus a p l anned society in an economic organiza t ion .

The committee suggested that frater-nities and sorori t ies use order a n d f reedom as the theme in a series of l i terary meetings.

TO T H E C U L T U R A L Affairs Com mittee, the ancho r and Opus staffs, faculty members a n d the Student Senate, they suggested the encouragement on the o rgan -izations p a r t s of the explora t ion of the themes of f reedom and order whenever possible; for instance h a v i n g conflicting editorials in the anchor on in loco paren-tis versus self rule by the students.

The members of the IF committee are Bernice Brunst ing, Dean of Students Ro-bert De Young , Dennis F a r m e r , Chap la in William Hillegonds, Cra ig Hol leman, Dr. J o h n Hollenbach, Wesley Michaelson and Dr. Douglas Neckers.

judgment , and the unde r s t and ing of mine, and the combina t ion of the two sets of components might just be more effective t h a n either one alone.

Hope College is not a f ra id of change; it welcomes it. It is not a f ra id of free-dom; it seeks cons tant ly a b r o a d e r mea-sure of true and responsible f reedom for a l l .members of the Hope family.

HOPE IS NOT af ra id of the h u m a n mind; it is not a f r a id of new discover ies-it is determined to discover more.

Only by working together in mutual trust and respect will we begin to achieve on Hope's c a m p u s the life that could be.

But this is only par t of the dua l chal-lenge; the second pa r t has to do with the family of m a n k i n d all a r o u n d us. We will not begin to be wor thy of our heri-tage or our calling unless our compas -sion extends far beyond, outside of, and above ourselves and our own n a r r o w needs a n d wants.

We live in a world where h u m a n de-pr ivat ion and revolut ion go hand in hand . Men everywhere cry out for justice, for f reedom, and for peace. They long for their right to face the sun, to walk free and upr ight on God 's green earth, with shoulders squa red , and heads held high, to feel the wind and the r a in on their faces, in the dignity of t rue m a n h o o d .

T H E S T I R R I N G and exciting adven-ture we could experience together, under

God, in m a k i n g freedom and justice, peace and h u m a n dignity realities in our time, we have not begun to explore.

This year , let's try it - together. He-member , " o u r responsibil i ty is not dis-charged by the pronouncement of v i r tuous ends ."

Above all, you will find that Hope is optimistic, that Hope, not surpr i s ingly , has hope. We have hope and faith in you; we believe in you. We believe that you can count as an individual and as a par tner and leader in our c o m m o n enterprise.

Our op t imism, our hope, our faith a re not in the mind alone, but in m a n as a child of God, a crea ture with divine qualit ies, knowing good and evil.

T H I S C O U L D BE the greatest year in the his tory of Hope College. Whether it is or not depends upon you. I s u m m o n you to m a k e it that!

To p a r a p h r a s e the words of Pericles in ancient Greece: " I would have you fix your eyes upon the college. Contem-plate her potent ia l i ty-not merely what she is, but what she has the power to b e -until you become her lovers. Reflect that her g lory h a s been built by men who knew their duty a n d had the c o u r a g e to do it. Make them your examples, and learn f rom them that the secret of happiness is f reedom, and the secret of freedom is cou rage . "

C. A. VanderWerf

Remodeled Hitching Post Lamented by Students

Sliding doors , a cracked m a r b l e top counter and a b r a s s rail foot rest are things of the past at the Hitching Post on 242 River. A favor i te eat ing spot for Hope students des i r ing inexpensive meals, the Hitching Post has been extensively remodeled.

Gone is the smal l c rowded work ing m a n ' s lunch counter . Giant picture windows, shiny steel f ixtures and a la rge RESTALIRANT sign now greet the regular customers.

Cottages Occupied By Freshmen Men-, Sponsors Assigned

This year s o m e of the f r e s h m a n men will live in the cottages which were pre-viously occupied b y girls.

Robert De Young, Dean of Students, sa id that the women were placed in the new d o r m and the men in the cottages because " there was a greater need for women's hous ing than for men's.."

Although the Adminis t ra t ion had plan-ned to integrate f reshmen and upperclass-men in the cottages, most of the cottages are occupied completely by f reshmen with only an R.A. and another upperc lassman . Several cottages are occupied entirely by upperclassmen.

Dean De Yoing said that the f reshmen had been put together in the cottages be-cause they would p r o b a b l y "prefer it that way . " ,The Adminis t ra t ion a lso express-ed the hope that the present setup would encourage f r e s h m a n class unity.

In addi t ion to an R.A., each cottage will have a member of the faculty to act as a sponsor . Al though the sponso r s h a v e no assigne lu t ies at the present time they will attempt to hip " b r i d g e t h e g a p between high school and college" accord ing to Dean De Yoing, to " m a k e the students feel at home," and to act as adv i so r s and counse-lors.

Many Hope students resent the moder-nization. One senior w o m a n commented, " T h e a tmosphe re is what drew me to the Hitching Post and now that is gone."

" T h e change was inevi table ," said a Hitching Post pa t ron . "At least it didn' t close up completely like the S ta r . "

Definite a d v a n t a g e s h a v e resulted f rom the enlargement . The Hitching Post will be able to accomoda te m a n y of the in-creasing number of Hope women who eat of f -campus as well as Tulip Time visitors.

Al though the s u r r o u n d i n g s have changed, " T h e Hitching Pos t , " as one faculty member r emarked , "still has the best cup of coffee in town."

Foreign Languages

Under One Dept. Head All fore ign l anguages at Hope College

have been merged into one department .

Dr. Ezra Gearhar t is c h a i r m a n of the new depar tment of foreign l anguages , which represents the merger of the German, French, Classics, Spanish and Russian l a n g u a g e depar tments .

" T h e difference will be in terms of o r g a n i z a t i o n , " Dr. Gearhar t said. " T h e r e will be no change in terms of m a j o r . "

The new depar tment c h a i r m a n said that central izat ion would offer a d v a n t a g e s in terms of more effective hand l ing of clerical work and in the development of new p r o g r a m s in the l anguages .

Students will still cont inue to m a j o r in the individual l anguages . Dr. Gearhar t pointed out.

The former c h a i r m a n of the German depar tment will now be the head of Hope ' s largest single depar tment , staffed by 16 professors .

1 want to m a k e the point that your label " I n d i v i d u a l s aga ins t the Crime of Silence", a l t h o u g h catchy, is not quite correct. Sure, there is silence, but only in cer-tain interested quar te r s , including the greater pa r t - but by no means all - of our government agencies and individual representatives. It is the deeply instilled faith in our government - bless and b l ame hosts of our well-meaning but also na ive school teachers - and gen-eral h u m a n le thargy that m a k e possible the impression that there is a "c r ime of silence". What the r ad io , the T.V. and the headl ines of the dailies say is enough for the vast ma jo r i t y of the members of a n y nation. There a re a lways on ly few who read widely, who dig for in format ion , w h o c o m p a r e a n d search between the lines, who remember yes te rday ' s and last week's news and hold it up a-gainst what is being said and written a n d "of f ic ia l ly" an-nounced t oday , who go - or can go - beyond the confines of their own l a n g u a g e and their na t ional pool of in format iona l possibilities in order to a r r ive at an independ-ent ana lys i s of current events ap-p rox imated as near ly to the truth as h u m a n l y possible.

SO YOU WANT to send a de-c lara t ion of posit ion to the United Nat ions . Good and well. 1 even join. My n a m e goes to remote Los Angeles and f rom remote Los Angeles to remote New York. The risk is small. Why not say what 1 feel. Makes me feel good , even though my name will prob-ab ly for ever just rest on a list in some dus ty filing cabinet.

Every now and then, a naively enthusiastic democra t ic American tradit ionalis t turns up who tells about the power of g r a s s r o o t s activity. Shouldn ' t you rather channel your efforts t owards sena-tors and congressmen in o u r gov-ernment and get an individual letter c a m p a i g n by all your mem-bers and as m a n y other citizens as you can possibly induce to do so s tar ted? Shouldn ' t ra ther fa-

An explora t ion of the biblical quote " t h a t God became m a n " was the theme of the Convoca t ion address yes terday by Dr. Hagen

Staack. The speech by the c h a i r m a n of

Dr. Staack said that Jesus Christ is the on ly 200 percent person the world has ever seen. " H e was 100 percent m a n and 100 per-

cent God , " he said. "Bas i ca l l y our fai th is based on

the concept that God is h u m a n , " said the former student of Deid-rich Bonhoeffer. " T h e only thing we know about God is in the face of our fellow men . "

He sa id we live in a world that should be t r ans fo rmed , a n d the t r a n s f o r m a t i o n must take place in our indiv idual relat ionships. " Dr. S taack is best known for his N B C television series, " F r o n t i e r s

A Declarat ion T o Our Fel-low Citizens Of The United States, To The Peoples Of The World, And To Fu tu re Gen-erat ions:

We are appa l led and anger-ed by the conduct of our coun-try in Vietnam.

In the name of liberty, we have unleashed the awesome arsenal of the greatest mil i tary power in the world upon a small agr icu l tura l nat ion, killing, b u r n i n g and muti la t ing its people. In the n a m e of peace, we are creat ing a desert. In the n a m e of security, we are inviting world conf lagra t ion .

We, the s igners of this declar-ation, believe this war to be immora l . We believe it to be illegal. We must oppose it.

At N u r e m b e r g , after World

under it, nothing else. A few d a y s top of the pictures: " N a z i s and .lews!" Nazis was written on top of the church picture and .lews on top of the fami ly picture with the dead father.

An obv ious reaction of the popu-lar psyche told the professor to please " shu t u p " and wash his own di r ty linen, for that no doubt was the mean ing of the return mes-sage. Years of t r a in ing in loyal ty and trust to one ' s government , ad-ministered to our young in this count ry as in a n y other, b rough t forth this i r ra t ional reaction. That 1 mounted these pictures as a re-sult of my own bitter experiences of the consequences of ignorance and trust in one 's government and as a w a r n i n g that America - now also my count ry - should not fall into the s a m e trap, did not enter the benighted mind of this loyal fa ther land - condit ioned y o u n g American.

War 11, we tried, convicted and executed men for the crime of O B E Y I N G their government , when that government demand-ed of them crimes against hu-mani ty . Millions more, who were not tried, were still guilty of T H E ( ' R I M E OF S I L E N C E .

We have a commitment to the laws and principles we care-fully forged in the AM EH ICAN C O N S T I T U T I O N , at the N U R E M B U R G TRIALS, and in the U N I T E D N A T I O N S C H A R T E R . And our own deep democrat ic t radi t ions and our dedicat ion to the ideal of hu-m a n decency a m o n g men de-m a n d that we speak out.

We Therefore wish to declare our names to the office of the Secretary General of the Unit-ed Nat ions , both as perma-nent witness to our opposi t ion to the war in Vietnam and as a demonst ra t ion that the conscience of America is not dead .

Inexperienced Hope Football Team Opens Tomorrow Our footbal l team h a s a ren 1 h;i Ifh;irL- w Wnltar T ? r . A i j aMHMtAuiA. "Our footbal l team h a s a real

chal lenge," .said veteran coach Russ De Vette, as he p r e p a r e d his relatively inexperienced s q u a d for the 1967 season.

m D e Vette explains his s tatement,

"We h a v e a very green line. The line coaches have an unbel ievable job; reserves f rom last yea r ' s squad , boys p lay ing footbal l for the first time and incoming fresh-men must do the job if it's go ing to be d o n e . "

T H U S , IT MAY be a long sea-son for the Orange and Blue grid-ders. And, as fate would have it, this will be De Vette's thirteenth season as head coach at Hope.

Of the current s q u a d of 53, 23 are f reshmen and 1 7 arele t termen. Head ing the re turners a re all-MIAA ha l fback Keith Abel and sometimes brilliant q u a r t e r b a c k Gary Frens. Other r egu l a r s f rom last yea r ' s team a re g u a r d s Mark Menning and Steve Piersma; ends Hay Cooper and Dick F r a n k ; and

hal fbacks Walter Reed and H a r r y Humohr .

Abel, a senior f rom .lenison, Michigan, was number two in MIAA rush ing last year with 522 y a r d s gained and scored 18 poin ts in 5 league games . Frens, a jun ior f rom Fremont , has been a starter both his f r e shman and s o p h o m o r e years. In 1966 he completed 31 of 89 passes for 368 y a r d s , most of them coming in the 4 8 - 2 9 rout of K a l a m a z o o . Also a punter , Gary averaged 38 .9 y a r d s a boot last season.

ABEL F I G U R E S to be practi-cally a one m a n offense, and he is <in excellent runner . But, as Gale Sayers of the Chicago Hears fou nd out last year , even a super-s tar has to have someone to block for him. If he doesn ' t , neither he nor the team is go ing to go anywhere.

Soccer Outlook Bright; Eight Lettermen Return

C H A L K T A L K — F o o t b a l l coach at p re-seas on meeting.

Russell DeVette goes over fine points of g a m e with 1967 s q u a d

"There ' s no way to go but u p , " is the cry of Coach Phillip Van Kyi and his 2 6-in an soccer team, which will seek to improve its dismal 1-7 record of 1966.

Last season, after whipp ing Cal-vin 4-3 in the i n a u g u r a l , the Orange and Blue kickers lost to Mac Mur ray , L a k e Forest , Cal-vin, Maryknol l , Goshen, Wheaton and Ea r lham. The Dutch scored 10 goa l s , while their opponen t s tallied 31.

Fight lettermen f rom last yea r ' s squad return to bolster the 167 edition. They are Jeff Alperin, John Debreceni, Dave De Velder, A1 Griswold, Tony Mock, K a w a l a o i m w a n z a n a , Jim Knott and cap-tain Fred Schutmaat .

Outs tanding newcomers include Manuel Cuba f r o m L ima , Peru, and De Gaulle N a d j o u r m a f r o m For t L a m y , Chad.

Once aga in , Hope will be com-peting in the r o u g h Michigan-Il l inois-Indiana Collegiate Soccer Conference. Last y e a r ' s , co-champs , Wheaton and E a r l h a m , are a g a i n the teams to beat, but

s t rong competi t ion can be expect-ed f rom Mac Murray , L a k e Porest, and newcomer Wabash .

Nine foreign countr ies will be represented when the Orange a n d Blue soccermen take the field next Wednesday to battle a rch- r iva l Calvin. These include Peru, H o n g Kong , Ethiopia , Spain , C h a d . C a n a d a , Venezuela, Z a m b i a , and Mexico.

Coach Van Eyl, assisted by Mr. Michael Petrovich, will send his team th rough its first i n t r a - squad sc r immage t o m o r r o w m o r n i n g at ten o'clock.

Goalie J o h n Debreceni, who shared the net-minding duties with the g r a d u a t e d Brian Bailey last season, was optimistic about the team s chances. " For the first time, ever, we have a s t rong line, with p layers who are definite scor ing th rea t s . "

C oach Van Eyl lost Pierre Sen-de. Corny Agori-Iwe, and Dave Piet f rom the 1966 s q u a d , but Cuba and N e d j o u r m a are expect-ed to more than m a k e up for

there in 1966. Humohr , a 160 pound half-back, could get the call at this impor tan t posit ion. Quar te rback Frens could have t rouble deciding who to give the ball to on third down-shor t yard-age s i tuat ions.

Hounding out the backfield will be f lanker Walter Heed, who is known ma in ly for his punt return specialty.

COOPER. F r a n k and Tom Pel-on f igure to see a lot of action at end, while 6 feet 4 inch, 2 0 5 pound jun io r Lee Berens and 6 feet, 4 inch, 195 p o u n d sopho-more Bruce Heustis appea r to have the inside t rack for the start-ing tackle posi t ions.

Menning and Piersma, the only

re turn ing le t terman with interior line experience, will be at the g u a r d s , while Hol land f r e s h m a n Dave Dick, a 6 feet, 3 inch, 195 pounde r , is being counted on to take over at center, a posit ion left vacant by the g r a d u a t i o n of Ken Carpenter .

Most celebrated of the Hope defensive p l a toon figures to be Dale " M o o s e " V a n d e r a a , a 2 9 5 p o u n d hulk f rom Wheaton. Illi-nois.

A U G U S T A N A C O L L E G E of Hockford, Illinois, will be the scene of the season opener for the Dutch-men t o m o r r o w af ternoon. Last year , in Hol land, the Vikings shut-out Hope 6-0 with the aid of two field goals . Head Coach Ralph
