Kim On Wong will perform folk dances and will invite his audi-ence to participate. Dancing is done mainly with hands, b o d y postures, and steps.

Kim On Wong was born in the dragon ( h o o n g D o o ) vi l lage of the Fragrant Mountain. At three he entered a monastary and at five he was chosen for dance choir Instruction.

At nine, he made a pi lgrimage to India where he studied under the great teacher Marie of the Island of Bali and later under Kikugoro , the leading teacher of Kubuki. MARGARET FUJIMOTO

R )zo Ogura was born in Japan and received his training in brush painting there. He has lived in Chicago about 2 0 years and is well known in art circles there. He has exhibited at the Chicago Art Institute, the Public Library and var ious art shows.

The three artists will perform in separate rooms in Phelps Hall and will repeat performances so that the audience can move from one location to another through-out the evening.

t^acn student is encouraged to donate four hours of work, according to Jim Sutherland, chairman of the Studejit Church Missions Committee which is or-ganizing the event. Sutherland de-scribed tne work aa T 'a mean-ingful way to spend extra-cur-ricular time. This is an oppor-tunity in which we can help by direct service instead of donat-ing money ."

The work will be the picking of apples at Weller Nursery and the result will be a building for

s tudy ing and dining at a c a m p called Shanthini layam (Abode ol Peace) in India. The building will be used tor retreats and for re-search for people developing ag-ricultural techniques to relieve the food famine in India.

At the camp site, only a chapel and a thatched-roof mess hall now stand. The constructioA of the new building will be the im-petus of the construction of the rest of the camp, according to Sutherland.

The participation of Hope stu-dents in this project, a part of the outreach of the Student Church, was initiated b y the Sep-tember visit of M.J. John, an In-dian native who is the head of the camp.

'A Real Problem'

Senate Views Food and Drink By Tom Hlldebrandt

Alter the d inner served ai Slater M o n d a y evening, it was not too u n u s u a l that the m a j o r topics of d i scuss ion at the Student Senate meet ing immedia te ly fol lowing were centered a r o u n d food.

S e n a t o r Donia b e g a n by dis-cuss ing the possibi l i ty of senior w o m e n eat ing off c a m p u s next year . He revealed a p l an where-by a t r ia l g r o u p of senior women

elu on c a m p u s to see whether the object ions raised by the Adminis-t ra t ion a r e valid.

W H E N A S K E D , Donia kindly enumera t ed these object ions, which included the possibi l i ty of stolen food f rom Slater, c o o k i n g in the d o r m s or in a boy f r iend ' s a p a r t m e n t (at the sugges t ion of which three s e n a t o r s turned a ghas t ly pink a n d h a d to be help-ed f r o m the r o o m ) , the lack of a d e q u a t e r e s t au ran t facilities in town, the loss of uni ty within the college c o m m u n i t y , and the crea t ion of that ever-present hor-ror — the nibbler .

At the ment ion of this specter, a hush came over the r o o m and several s ena to r s vowed to inves-tigate because, a s President Pear-son put it, " T h i s is a real p r o b l em."

Donia finally m a d e a p r o p o s a l for concrete act ion which he ap-pra i sed objectively when he sa id , " I t rea l ly isn't all that m u c h . " He read a resolut ion that u rged the Admin i s t r a t ion to give compen-sa t ion to those w o m e n who are u n a b l e to eat at Slater because of conflicts with their student teach-ing p r o g r a m s . The mot ion was passed overwhe lming ly .

T H E N E X T C U L I N A R Y dis cuss ion began innocently with the

request that the Senate invest igate the possibi l i ty of h a v i n g Christ-m a s vaca t ion extended one d a y so that s tudents l iving west of Cors ica , S.D. could re turn with-out t rave l l ing on Jan . 1.

L a r r y Bone noted that the re-cess had a l r e a d y been extended, and the chances of do ing it a g a i n were slim. Nevertheless , the idea was referred to the C a m p u s Im-p rovemen t s Committee, a n d Glen Pontier was instructed to find out if there would be a n y re fund for the classes missed.

While on the subject of c a m p u s improvements , Shirley Lawrence suggested that act ion be taken aga ins t a p o p mach ine that "eith-er takes y o u r money or gives you hot p o p . " Dave Allen recounted the s a g a of how the F r a t e r n a l Society solved their " h o t m i l k " p rob lem, and the thirsty s e n a t o r seemed satisfied.

T H E M E E T I N G was inter rupted at this point by a n a n c h o r p h o t o g r a p h e r who b u m p e d his head aga ins t a coa t - rack . The incident b r o u g h t smiles to the faces of all the s e n a t o r s except Pear-son, who had a l r e a d y been grin-ning.

Fo l lowing the food theme, it was sugges ted that some th ing be done so that Slater would give two glasses of milk at d inner . Pro-p o s a l s such as h a v i n g the milk mach ine out d u r i n g the meal , hav-ing two glasses b r o u g h t at the s tar t of the meal , h a v i n g a pitch-er of milk out on the table, and h a v i n g a pitcher b r o u g h t on re-Quest were a d v a n c e d .

Trustees Comprised of Students

Student Church Begins Development And Studies Future Form, Program

By John M. Mulder

Every S u n d a y at 10:45 a.m. Dimnent Memoria l Chapel has people in it. Every day , Mon-day th rough F r iday , at 8 a .m. this chapel is also filled with people, m a n y of whom are the same people that are there on Sunday .

The reason for their ga ther ing each time is a worship service, but the Sunday m o r n i n g worship service, called the Student Church, is different. It's not required; no one collects chapel slips when the students leave, and yet the stu-dents a re still coming.

The Student Church is popu-lar. It began last year when Chap-lain William Hil legonds started a series of Lenten services. So m a n y students attended that he decided to cont inue it on a trial basis for the rest of the year .

BEFORE T H E year was out, the Hol land Classis had app rov -ed the idea of the church, a n d at the June meeting of the Boa rd of Trustees the Student Church was app roved on a trial basis for this year .

Students have attended the church in l a rge number s this year , a t tendance a v e r a g i n g a r o u n d 600 each Sunday , and accord ing to Wes Michaelson, c h a i r m a n of the Committee of Trustees of the Stu-dent Church, some are ha i l ing it as the most construct ive th ing in the religious life of the college in years.

W H E N SCHOOL began , the Religious Life Committee met and elected a committee of student trus-tees for the church and chose sen-ior Michaelson as its c h a i r m a n .

Michaelson, Chap la in Hille-gonds and the student trustees are now in the process of t ry ing to determine an o rgan iza t ion for the church, the na ture of this " s tuden t " church, and what its p r o g r a m s a re go ing to be.

It's not an easy job, s ays Mi-chaelson, and the students are spend ing a great deal of time "just th ink ing and ta lk ing things ove r . " In thepas t , hesays , g r o u p s of this kind set out with a par-ticular p r o g r a m in mind.

" T h a t ' s been one of the mis-takes before , " Michaelson s ays and he hopes that the talk and thought will eventual ly p roduce p r o g r a m s that won' t fizzle out.

SEVERAL POSSIBLE pro g r a m s a re being considered. One is a month ly exper imenta l wor-ship service on S u n d a y night which might be a jazz service or a religious d r a m a .

Discussion g r o u p s deal ing with c o n t e m p o r a r y Chris t ian writers are beginning, and the missions committee is work ing to raise money for a vi l lage in India.

At the present the Student Church ' s o rgan iza t ion is unstruc-tured with the exception of the central committee of students and four subcommit tees .

ONE SUBCOMMITTEE, head ed by Cra ig Hol leman, is work-ing on worsh ip services. Its re-sponsibil i ty, accord ing to Mi-chaelson, is to determine what outside speakers will come and what the s tructure of worship will be.

The second subcommittee, chaired by Wally Borschel, is call-ed the work council, and t h rough this committee the v a r i o u s ser-vice projects of the church, such as work ing in the Grand Rapids inner-city with the Pleasant Hill Reformed Church , a re organized.

This committee is consider ing setting up p r o g r a m s for volun-teers in Hol land Hospital , estab-lishing a coffee house in Hol-land, r u n n i n g the hospi tal coffee shop on Sundays , and work ing with a youth detention home in Grand Haven .

T H E THIRD subcommit tee is work ing on the knotty problem of a pe rmanen t structure for the church, and is being led by Dick Shiels. The p rob lems before this committee include church mem-bership, the possibility of hav-ing a permanent minister, and how the church will be governed.

The committee is supposed to be a one year committee, and it is expected to complete its work by the end of the year .

A four th committee, headed by T h o m a s Ogren, is l ay ing the g r o u n d w o r k for the establishment of g r o u p s which will seek to create a d ia logue concerning the works and views of leading Christ ian thinkers. The committee h a s al-ready established a study g roup for couples interested in discuss-ing love, courtship and m a r r i a g e with the chapla in .

F I N A N C E S AREN'T a prob-lem even though students weren't

expected to suppor t the church in all of its p r o g r a m s . T h u s far over $1,000 has been given in the offer-ing, but costs of bulletins and outside speakers a m o u n t to $300. Chap la in Hil legonds estimates a total budget of $2 ,800 , but offer-ings should a m o u n t to approxi -mately $5 ,000 , he said.

The Student Church has been well at tended, but Michaelson ad-mits that the most press ing prob-lem for the trustees is to determine what kind of church is a "stu-dent" church.

" I d e a l l y , " he says , " the Stu-,dent Church would be the one source of unity and communi ty in the College. Its most effective role would be dispell ing f ragmen-tation within the College as it g rows la. ge r . "

HALLOWEEN PARTY—Pictured above are seven of the thirty 'little

Dr. Nowotny:

Europe Dependent on the U. S. Dr. T h o m a s Nowotny , a form-

er Fulbr ight Scho la r f rom Aus-tr ia who studied at Hope College, spoke on the topic " E u r o p e : With or Without the U.S.?" at the fall banque t of the Internat ional Re-lat ions Club on Wednesday eve-ning in Durfee Hall.

Dr. Nowotny is presently At-tache at the Aus t r ian Consulate General in New York, but he emphasized that " I am speak ing as a Hope College student and therefore very f r a n k l y . "

The speaker began by disput-ing Dr. Clark Eichelberger as he was quoted in last week's anchor , asser t ing that " the U.N. has never been at a lower point than it is today . It h a s never pre-vented a third world w a r because it was never in a posi t ion to do s o . "

He then historical ly traced basic U.S. attitudes toward E u r o p e a n na t iona l disputes, s ta r t ing with isolat ionism. " T h r o u g h o u t the nineteenth century, the U.S. re-g a r d e d foreign policy as the per-sona l ambi t ions o fpr inces to wage foolish w a r s . " Then, the U.S. re-luctant ly entered World War I but professed to be uninterested in the obscure or ig ins of the conflict.

After a t e m p o r a r y wi thdrawal between the wars , the U.S. emerged f rom World War II "de-termined not to withdraw, but to be involved. The U.S. can be re-ga rded as the architect of a unit-ed E u r o p e . " A s t rong alliance, a reconstructed and accepted Ger-m a n y and suppor t for weaker allies were the pa r t s of the Amer-ican f o r m u l a for a new Europe.

F o u n d e d only 10 years ago , the quar te t h a s built up an im-pressive reputa t ion and are es-tabl ished as one of the l ead ing c h a m b e r music ensembles in Europe. All a r e members of the Royal Danish Musicians a n d

three of them are affiliated with the 500 year-old Royal Orches-tra in Copenhagen .

Admiss ion to the concert is by membersh ip in the Communi ty Concert Assn. only. Hope students m a y obta in a student Qard by pre-senting their I.D. card at the of-fice of the Music Building. There is no cha rge for this concert.

Tonight Kenneth Drake, the c h a i r m a n of the p i a n o depar tment at Drake Universi ty in Des Moines, Iowa, will present a p iano recital at 8 :15 in Dimnent Mem-orial Chapel . Mr. Drake is a re-cognized author i ty on Beethoven sona tas .

trend toward unification, stated Dr. Nowotny , citing the C o m m o n Market as the real izat ion of some of these goals . The trend of the sixties is t o w a r d greater indepen-dent action by E u r o p e a n s "be-cause they know that, in the case of a showdown, the U.S. would s tand by them and intervene on their beha l f . " This tendency is furthered because " E u r o p e a n s no longer feel they are threatened by Russ ia ."

In answer ing the quest ion posed in his topic. Dr. Nowotny stated that " a l t h o u g h Europe in the shor t run a n d under the cover of this count ry m a y act somewhat inde-pendently of the U.S., in the l ong run E u r o p e is dependent on the U.S.; they a re na tu ra l p a r t n e r s . "

During the quest ion and answer period, Dr. Nowotny , who de-scribed himself as a " m o d e r n , modera te social is t ," suggested that social re la t ions in the U.S. are more m o d e r n t h a n those in Europe, which often have elements of feudal class cleavages. " T h e U.S. h a s a m o d e r n culture, while Europe has a more t rad i t iona l one ."

Also present was Dr. Anton Porhans l , Executive Secretary of the Aust r ian Fulbr ight Com-mission and Director of the In-stitute of E u r o p e a n Studies pro-g r a m in Vienna.

On the Vote at 1ft TUESDAY T H E V O T E R S of Michigan

will decide the late of a proposal ap-o n the ballot which calls tor

the lowering ot the m i n i m u m vot ing age to ex tend sufferage to the 18 to 21 age group. T h i s r e f e r endum is an issue of vital import-ance to the s tuden t body of H o p e College and its passage should be encouraged by every avai lable means.

U n d e r the Cons t i tu t ion , the prerogat ive to establish m i n i m u m age qual i f ica t ions tor voting belongs to the ind iv idua l states. Wi th the except ions of Georgia, Kentucky, Alaska and Hawai i , the m i n i m u m vot ing age require-ment of 21 has been s t andard since the col-onial per iod .

Whi l e this a rb i t ra ry m i n i m u m age has re mained unchanged for over 150 years, the na-tion has undergone a comple te social, polit-ical and cu l tura l metamorphos is . T h e appli-cation of this s t andard of the 18th century to the mode rn , fast-moving, youth-or iented world which we know today is an anachronism of grotesque propor t ions .

An in fo rmed , t hough t fu l , and s t imula ted electorate forms one of the most essential features of a successful democracy. As a bene-ficiary of vastly improved educa t iona l facil-ities, the 18-year-old today is bet ter p repared for polit ical responsibil i ty than were the Americans of previous generat ions .

EDUCATION, OF COURSE , is not the sole considera t ion when consider ing who should vote. T h e young Americans

of the "Pepsi gene ra t i on" are accept ing more responsibil i t ies of ci t izenship than ever be-fore.

At the age of 18, most young people have been g radua t ed f rom high school. W h e t h e r or not they go on to college, they assume all the responsibil i t ies of ci t izenship bu t are denied the f u n d a m e n t a l privilege of cit izenship.

Eighteen-year-olds can get mar r i ed , drive, be sent to prison, be sued and taxed b u t c anno t vote. G o v e r n m e n t wields a t r emendous in-fluence on their daily lives b u t they have no direct voice in tha t government .

Perhaps the greatest effect the govern-ment can have on an ind iv idua l citizen is ex-ercised th rough the d ra f t . Over 600,000 m e n younger than 21 are serving in the a rmed forces. Al though a H o p e s tudent ' s competence to fight (and perhaps to die) does not neces-sarily imply his competence to vote, it is a base injust ice to place on his shoulders the b u r d e n of r isking his life to de fend the na-tion s policies when he is not al lowed to par-t icipate in the selection of those who shape that policy.

OP P O N E N T S O F T H E r e f e r endum de-clare that the 18-year-old lacks the ma-turi ty to cast an inte l l igent bal lot : they

point to such things as the civil rights protests and the Berkeley free speech riots to substan-tiate their a r g u m e n t .

These opponen t s forget organizat ions such as the Peace Corps in which thousands of youths demons t r a t e ma tu r i ty on a scale un-surpassed by Americans of any age. T h e y for-get that demons t ra t ions such as they condemn are evidence of the polit ical and social con-cern of the young citizen. T h e y do not con-sider that such concern is one of the most vital ingredients that goes in to the m a k e u p of an intel l igent electorate.

T h i s week Michigan makes a decision which can have a significant na t ionwide in-fluence on the en t i re issue of the 18-year old vote. T h e H o p e communi ty should join in the effort to secure the passage of this proposal which, if passed, will ex tend the vot ing fran-chise to a large qual if ied segment of the citi-zenry which has been denied it for far too long.

On the Student Church TH E S T U D E N T C H U R C H last year be-

gan with the blessings of everyone, and we are happy to see it ope ra t i ng suc-

cessfully again this year. We believe tha t this church could be one of the forces for creat ing a heal thy religious life at Hope .

However , the f u t u r e is unce r t a in for the Student Church . Its s tuden t trustees are now mul l ing over p rob lems of organiza t ion and p rogram which will de t e rmine whe ther this church will be a church in any sense of the word.

For in def in ing and carrying out what the S tuden t Church is lies its success or fail-ure. T h e trustees must r emember that the suc-cess of the church isn't de t e rmined by the large n u m b e r of s tudents a t t e n d i n g the church each week. Ul t imately , the church will be judged according to its effect on campus and its abil i ty to s t rengthen the fa i th in the lives of the s tudents .

PE R H A P S T H E T H O R N I E S T problem of all is the problem of membersh ip . T h e op in ions range f rom hav ing stu-

dents become ful l members, s tuden t afhlliates r e t a in ing a membersh ip in ano the r church , or having n o members as such at all. W e would submi t tha t even though the spontane i ty of loose m e m b e r s h i p might r ecommend itself, the church will be a mass of chaos wi thout a core of people to carry out its ministry.

A l though that looms in the fu tu re , the S tudent Church has ano the r p rob lem which is more pressing. Ideally we see the church be coming a fel lowship of s tudents characterized by its warmth and vitality. Right now. the service is almost a class. T h e s tudents file in and file out . Lost is the w a r m t h and welcome of even, we cautiously suggest, the churches of Hol l and . W e suggest the probabi l i ty that most s tudents at H o p e come f rom churches where a large a m o u n t of l i turgy is not apprec ia ted and that its use leaves them cold.

OF C O U R S E , the church has a str ike against it when it worships in the vast-ness of D i m n e n t Chape l which has us-

ually been known for the coldness of its in-terior. T h e n again, when there is no one to welcome s tudents before, d u r i n g or af ter the service, it's l i t t le wonder tha t some go away wonder ing whe ther it really is a church a f te r all.

T h e church has a rough road ahead . W e praise its creat ion a l though it bears tes t imony to the inabi l i ty of Hol land churches to meet the needs of the s tudents and thus in an in-direct way to the celebrated "genera t ion gap . " But then maybe the responsibi l i ty is the o the r way a round . Perhaps it is for the younger to minis ter to the older. At any rate, we wish the church Godspeed.

C G L i Views Literature With Commitment By John Cox

I must confess a m e a s u r e of dub iousness when I accepted an invi tat ion to at tend the "Confe r -ence on Chr is t iani ty and Litera-tu re" at VVheaton College on Oct. 20-22.

Obviously , Chr is t iani ty and lit-e ra tu re weren' t g o i n g to be lump-ed together in the s a m e conference as mere incidentals to be looked at a p a r t f r o m one ano the r : the conference title sugges ted ra ther an at tempt to b r i n g the two to-gether. And how could that be done without detr iment to one or both of them?

A T H O R O U G H L Y ar t iculat-ed not ion of Chr is t ian i ty was im-plied, as well as an activity di-rected t o w a r d s either f ind ing some aspects of l i terature c o n s o n a n t with that not ion or p r o m o t i n g the same kind of s app ines s and slo-gans that h a v e c h a r a c t e r i z e d " C h r i s t i a n " l i tera ture too long.

The first pape r was read by Nelvin Vos of Muhlenberg Col-lege, Muhlenberg , Pa., and was entitled " M o d e r n D r a m a : Absurd or Otherwise?" Vos declared that his intent was neither to establish criteria by which m o d e r n d r a m a should be excommunica t ed , nor , on the other h a n d , to bapt ize it as the sole med ium of Truth in our age.

He car r ied out his intent, but came down closer to bap t i sm than excommunica t ion , and then deftly handled the inevi table chal lenge. One exchange nea r the end went someth ing like this:

QUESTION: I a m bothered by you r willingness to even pa r t i a l ly endorse some th ing which so ob-viously neglects to present the message of s a l v a t i o n in Christ -even to present it obl iquely. How do you expla in you e n d o r s e m e n t ?

VOS: Let me ask a quest ion in return. If Christ c a m e t o d a y would we recognize Him?

Q: I 'm not sure wha t you mean . If he comes on His own terms as the Bible s a y s He will, 1 don ' t see how we can fail to recognize Him.

VOS: What a r e " H i s own te rms?" Are you c l a iming to know them? We though t we could do that 2 , 0 0 0 yea r s a g o , too.

Q: Oh, you m e a n to say , I suppose , that Christ might be an Absurd f igure or some th ing like tha t?

VOS: 1 think tha t ' s the ques-tion to end with.

Rather than become preoccu-pied with ques t ions like the one

JOHN COX

with which Vos was chal lenged, the conference d isp layed an im-plicit at t i tude that that kind of quest ion wasn ' t really to the point. But the att i tude did not imply cocksureness .

Case in point : At the f inal r o u n d table d iscuss ion of the conference speake r s the edi tor of HIS Maga-zine s ta r ted off by s a y i n g that the chief a t t r ibute of the Chr i s t ian writer shou ld be a " k n o w l e d g e of C o d . " One shou ld walk constant-

ly with God, cont inua l ly mindful of His will insofa r as it is know-able f r o m his Word, etc., etc.

Elliot C o l e m a n of .Johns Hop-kins, ano the r of the conference speakers , w a s the next to voice an opin ion . Somewha t hesitating-ly, he said that he was s o r r y to admit that he wasn ' t exact ly sure what " k n o w i n g G o d " meant , and that in a n y certain terms he could-n't s a y he was " C h r i s t i a n " all the time.

F A L S E MODESTY? Perhaps . But in the context of the preceding r e m a r k s , 1 don ' t think a n y o n e saw it that way .

" T e n t a t i v e " is the best word to describe the att i tude of the con-ference t o w a r d its Big Quest ion. The ques t ion itself is b o r n of a double commi tment — one relig-ious a n d the other scho la r ly .

There is no preconceived ap-p r o a c h , but wha t goes on might p r e suppose someth ing like the following: Both Chr is t iani ty ("re-l ig ion" is p r o b a b l y better — s o m e in C C L think so as well) — re-ligion, then, and l i terature at their best deal with the precisely inex-plicable, with that which, if it is conceptual izable , is not ultimate-ly pu re concept.

T H E D I F F I C U L T Y is that lit e ra ture , of all the ar ts , is the most conceptual , which is bo th a

s t rength and a weakness ; a s t rength in that its " m e s s a g e " is most readi ly g r a s p e d ; a weakness in that its aesthetic is most easily prost i tu ted for the s a k e of a con-ceptual message .

The e n d e a v o r of C C L i s t o c o m e to g r ips with whatever religion a n d l i terature h a v e in c o m m o n in the rea lm of the inexplicable (which is not to imply that the two a re identifiable in essence).

A N O T H E R I N T E R E S T I N G aspect of C C L ' s a p p r o a c h is the p resen ta t ion of spi r i tual truth in-cogni to . Such a presenta t ion does not imply a " t r i c k " to catch the

unsuspec t ing as does the gospel tract . It s imply expresses a n at-tempt to present a view of the Whole Tru th without put t ing it in so m a n y words . The p a r a b l e s of Christ a re i l lustrative of the incognito a p p r o a c h ; so is much of the poetry of Chaucer .

In the last ana ly s i s 1 found it difficult to m a k e any c h a r g e aga ins t CCL stick, except, per-haps , that it a p p r o a c h e s litera-ture with a posi t ive religious com-mitment. But af ter all, eve ryone who studies l i te ra ture br ings some kind of commi tmen t to it, and of-ten less tentat ively than CCL b r ings its convic t ions to us.

Pay Phones Are Coming To All Campus Dwellings

The Business Office has fo rmu-lated p l ans to h a v e p a y phones installed in all the frat houses, g i r l s d o r m s , a n d cottages, al-t h o u g h no c h a n g e s in the present o p e r a t i o n a re directly in sight.

H e n r y B o u r s m a of the Business Office sa id that the College is con-s ider ing pu t t ing in all p a y phones for three r easons : To fit the needs of the s tudents better, to i m p r o v e service, and to m a k e it easier to identify the caller m a k i n g long-dis tance calls.

Faculty Focus

An Open Letter on Character Editor's note: The Faculty Fo-

cus column features this week Dr. Robert S. Brown, assistant pro-fessor of psycho logy and direc-tor of the Hope College Counsel-ing Center. Dr. Brown earned his A.B. from Western Michigan University, his A.M. from the Un-iversity of Michigan, and a Ed.D. from Michigan State University.

My Dear Fr iend : Charac te r , like every th ing else,

is affected by all the forces that work u p o n it and p r o d u c e it. The tests of cha rac te r m a y be l iving r a the r than academic . In par t i cu la r , a n y test of cha rac t e r , or ana lys i s for that mat ter , must take into account the h u m a n ma-terial out of which cha rac t e r is made.

I shal l a s s u m e that you h a v e asked me to tell you as p la in ly as poss ible wha t cha rac t e r is. Not a definition, but only such a state-ment that will m a k e it f a i r ly clear. You might a l so ask how to get it, and how to keep it, a n d how to develop it.

T H E VERY FIRST th ing that strikes me is that cha rac te r is n e i t h e r s o m e t h i n g v a g u e , nor some perfectly s imple thing. It would a p p e a r to be quite concrete and complex . It does not consist of a n y one so l i t a ry qua l i ty . Char -acter would a p p e a r to be some-thing m o r e than character is t ics . And yet c h a r a c t e r h a s to d o with character is t ics a n d quali t ies.

A m o n g the m a n y listed in the l i terature are: " s t r eng th , sincerity, r ea sonab lenes s , poise, or ig inal i -ty, n a r r o w n e s s , b r ead th , t r u s t , brother l iness , op t imism, ch iva l ry , f i rmness , generos i ty , c a n d o r , en-thus i a sm, h u m o r , humil i ty , pa-

tience, cou rage , i nd igna t ion and reverence ."

You m a y be f ami l i a r with the s a y i n g , " c h a r a c t e r is wha t a m a n really is, a n d r epu ta t ion what people think he is ." It would be somewha t careless at this point to a s s u m e that only cha rac t e r is impor t an t o r that cha rac t e r is any one of the noble quali t ies we find listed in the l i terature.

MAY I SUGGEST tha t the source of h u m a n cha rac te r emerges out of the " h u m a n quan-d a r y " and is manifes ted in wha t might be called the " h u m a n pos-sibi l i ty ."

The h u m a n q u a n d a r y arises out of the o rdea l of h u m a n growth and development , with the pri-m a r y s h a p e of cha rac t e r being molded into the e m e r g i n g self-system or selfhood d u r i n g our ear ly life. There is someth ing d read fu l ly f ami l i a r to u s all in

U.S. Su l l ivan ' s dictum " tha t for a grea t m a j o r i t y of people the stresses of life distort them to infer ior ca r i ca tu res of what they might h a v e been . "

More deeply, this " s h a p i n g " is the g r im and widely attested hu-m a n experience of nonfulf i l lment in life and in se l fhood. The h u m a n q u a n d a r y thus becomes an "a l ien i n t r u d e r " peck ing a w a y at o u r intelligible r e a s o n i n g for person-hood . N o sense can be m a d e of the not ion that nonfulf i l lment is a necessary and i r remediable state of af fa i rs . It is wrong , you m a y say , that my life shou ld be dis-torted and f rus t ra t ed f rom its pos-itive intent a n d m e a n i n g .

T H I S A C U T E sensitivity to what has been referred to by oth-ers as " the m i s c a r r i a g e of h u m a n possibi l i t ies" presents an age- long tempta t ion to exp la in it by dis-covery of external causes or agents responsible for it.

Possibly o u r d i l e m m a is fur ther ampl i f ied by the real izat ion that this h u m a n q u a n d a r y is both fa-mi l ia r a n d s t r ange . We do not find it elsewhere. Like Walt Whi tman we could envy the an imals .

They do not sweat and whine a b o u t their condi t ion.

They do not lie a w a k e in the d a r k a n d weep for their sins.

They do not m a k e me sick dis-cuss ing their duty to God

But men m a y be b o r n to g row, to develop, to become m a t u r e and p roduc t ive pe r sons , capab le of love and r a t i ona l m a n a g e m e n t of their lives, the bas ic direction of the o r g a n i s m being fo rward . The ene rgy for this p ropu l s ion is un ique within m a n and m a y be the p r i m a l psychic energy of cha rac t e r f o r m a t i o n .

SOME PSYCHOLOGIST envis-ioned the life process as genera t ing

a su rp lus of this psychic energy --m o r e t h a n is required to ma in ta in o u r biological development . This is an energy needed for the in-cu l tura t ion a n d social izat ion of the person , a b o v e that of the ani-ma l g o a l s of sex and surv iva l and an energy for becoming a per-son a m o n g pe r sons .

Earl ier 1 suggested to you that cha rac te r f o r m a t i o n and mainte-nance be considered as a l iving, d y n a m i c , o n - g o i n g encounter . The h u m a n possibi l i ty lies in this encounter , recognizing that all of the external d e m a n d s of life pit-ted aga ins t the internal motif of h u m a n connect ion and desire for mean ing , p r o d u c e the needed com-bat for cha rac t e r development and emergency. The h u m a n possibil-ity is the achievement in a na tu ra l process (life) which allows us to place m e a n i n g s into our self-sys-tem which conf i rm our connec-tions.

As we e n g a g e ourselves with a style of self-exposure and utilize the feedback f r o m others to eval-uate and re-evaluate our charac-ter (viz. self, identity, self-image, etc.), self-definition becomes a comprehens ive f r a m e of reference u p o n which to form, main ta in , and occas iona l ly alter o u r char-acter f o r m a t i o n .

IN C O N C L U S I O N , one note of caut ion. One might r e a s o n a b l y contend that m a n does - and must - worsh ip that u p o n which he be-lieves he depends . The d a n g e r in a fully human i s t i c account of the h u m a n q u a n d a r y and in partic-u la r the h a m a n possibil i ty is that all the m e a n i n g s and values which m a y be achieved in life a re to be found in h u m a n i t y and himself!

The Gray Haze By Gordy Korstangc

Six U of Michigan Students

Lose Draft Status Appeal

Somet imes you can feel it at the oddes t moment s . Like at a par ty , when the blistering, a m p -lified gu i ta rs h a v e driven all thought out of the mind, a n d everyone is s h a k i n g their bodies in sub l ima t ion to the gui tars . And then, a b o v e the din the g r a y haze drif ts in, m a k i n g the bod-ies seem like puppets whose strings reach into the g r aynes s .

Or s t a n d i n g outs ide Van Raal-te wa tch ing the t h r o n g s move in h a r m o n y to the c lass bells. You see s o m e o n e walk ac ross the Pine (irove, and sudden ly the haze a p p e a r s , t u rn ing the leaves into land mines r eady to blow him to hits.

WHERE DOES the haze come f r o m ? Someth ing must be g o i n g on which I can ' t detect f r o m e v e r y d a y events. The newspapers and m y draf t b o a r d h a v e told me that somewhere in the East there is a " t h i n g " go ing on. But m y Congress has not declared that this " t h i n g " is a war , and the I nited Na t ions never ment ioned "police ac t ion" or " a g r e s s i o n . " There is no th ing "o f f i c i a l " a b o u t this " t h i n g , " and the g r a y haze refuses to turn concrete.

It mus t be, as my leaders s ay , that we ' re helping some people over there fight agress ive b a d men. But other people on tele-vision a n d in m a g a z i n e s show pictures of rats , filth, c ry ing children, s t a r v i n g mothers and wasted fields.

They tell stories of dy ing wom-en and children, inflation, 12-year old demoli t ion experts, p l ane crashes, and even helpless people shot to dea th by their own fr iends and allies.

I W I S H O N E could know who the b a d men real ly are , because they just don ' t wear b lack ha ts as in d a y s gone by. It seems that they all look alike, with lit-tle yellow faces, but there a re o thers with white hats and faces who by their very presence can b r ing out the black marke t , pros-t i tuting impulse in the count ry .

The people a r o u n d me, t hough , wear g r a y hats with white b a n d s a r o u n d them, and seem gra teful that the sheriff and his posse a re keeping the bad guys a w a y f r o m the town. When they see the g r a y haze dr i f t ing over f rom the East they s a y , " M y , haven ' t food prices gone up la te ly ," and run off to the s u p e r m a r k e t where the haze can ' t follow.

T H E R E WAS A T I M E l a s t y e a r when eve ryone was all excited abou t this " t h i n g . " And they m a r c h e d and a r g u e d abou t wheth-er it had a n y meaning . But noth-,ing h a p p e n e d . People on the left t hough t that the " t h i n g " was mor -ally b a d , a n d people on the right

Khought it just wasn ' t worth it unless we could win.

^ But there was no vote on the " t h i n g , " a n d the cand ida te s be-ing voted on seemed to all be in the posse . So the people on the left a n d right found themselves in the g r a y haze, g r o p i n g for ac-tion, while the sheriff seemed be-yond the reach of anyone .

Well, we all went a b o u t o u r bus iness h o p i n g it would all clear up qu ick ly and were a s su red when told that we were killing 5 0 0 people a d a y and agreed with the sheriff when he said we would " b r i n g the coonsk in h o m e on the wa l l . "

Of course there were s o m e who kept sugges t ing the novel idea of s topp ing this " t h i n g " in the mid-dle. But then who could tell the sheriff wha t to do, and who would want to die t ry ing to s top some-thing without v ic tory?

ANYWAY, people go to the of-fice e v e r y d a y , m a k e babies , buy new cars , and die of hear t a t tacks , seemingly unconsc ious of the haze to the Eas t . '

And me? 1 know the prices h a v e gone up at Boone 's , and the leaves seem to fall heavier this year . And I keep look ing a r o u n d me, wait-ing for the haze to descend and impose its form of unrea l i ty on o u r fo rm of unreal i tv .

Six Universi ty of Michigan stu-dents who were reclassified 1-A after l ead ing a sit-in d e m o n s t r a -tion at the Ann A r b o r d ra f t b o a r d last fall have lost their f inal ap-peal .

The three-member Presidential d r a f t appea l b o a r d a n n o u n c e d Sept. 19 that the six men a re indeed, eligible for induct ion re-su l t ing f rom their protest which was declared to be in v io la t ion of Selective Service law. The six s tudents were pro tes t ing the U.S. invo lvement in Vie tnam.

As the Amer ican Civil Liber-ties Union p r e p a r e d to seek a r e s t r a in ing o rde r f r o m the cour ts , a s p o k e s m a n stated, "We think the cour ts will t ake the use of the Selective Service System to pun-ish dissenters m o r e ser ious ly than Genera l Hershey d o e s . "

Thir teen s tudents were reclassi-fied after the protest at the Ann

A r b o r d ra f t b o a r d . F ive h a v e since won back their s tudent de-ferments t h r o u g h a p p e a l while two other cases a r e still pend ing .

Michigan Selective Service Di-rector Col. A r t h u r Holmes doubt-ed the success of a cour t suit since the s tudents had reached and failed at the highest legal appea l b o a r d in the na t ion .

Universi ty of Michigan Presi-dent H a r l a n Ha tcher was openly disgusted with the decision a n d declared that " I don ' t think you should d ra f t a s tudent because he pro tes t s . "

Na t i ona l Selective Service Sys-tem Director Gen. Louis B. Her-shey said that s o m e " p e o p l e a r g u e you shou ld send these b o y s to pri-son instead of the a r m y . . . . " " T h e answer is qui te simple. Con-gress passed a d ra f t law to get these b o y s into the a r m e d forces, not into j a i l . "

Tips for Hope's Dateless Coeds By Pat Canfield

Even t h o u g h there is a grea ter n u m b e r of men than w o m e n on Hope ' s c a m p u s , there a re m y r i a d s of coeds who go dateless every weekend.

Terr ib le scholast ic and f inan-cial p r o b l e m s ar i se f rom this sit-ua t ion . Hordes of invitat ion-less girls m o p e t h r o u g h each F r i d a y , S a t u r d a y and S u n d a y without g iv ing their studies a second o r even a first thought . The facul ty is all too f ami l i a r with their ex-cuse for uncomple ted work : " S o r -ry, but I d idn ' t go out this week-end, so I couldn ' t get it d o n e . "

T h e R y n d a m is of West G e r m a n registry.

F I N A N C I A L PROBLEMS a re b r o u g h t abou t by the fact that the despondent , despera te girls go b a n k r u p t either t ry ing to m a k e themselves look like S o p h i a Loren or en ter ta in ing themselves on the long , lonely weekends.

Most of the girls a re qui te re-s igned to their state a n d even try to h a v e a sense of h u m o r abou t it by greeting each other with, " H i there, you dateless wonder . When ' s the last t ime you were a sked ou t?"

" O h , abou t three and a half y e a r s ago when I was a fresh-m a n . A friend of mine fixed me up with a fr iend of a fr iend of hers. It was really ve ry exciting -we went out to watch the movies at the ( i i lmore TV r o o m and then went to the Hitching Post to s h a r e a cup of coffee."

WHAT CAN be done abou t this devas t a t ing d i l e m m a ?

Several excellent p r o p o s a l s have been suggested by the Stu-dent Life Commit tee with the hope of renewing interest on the pa r t of Hope ' s s luggish males.

One possibil i ty consists of dis-gu i s ing a g r o u p of girls as po-licemen and send ing them down to 8th Street. There they could arres t boys for d r a g - r a c i n g and tell them they ' re t ak ing them down to the b a r r a c k s but instead b r i n g them b a c k to the d o r m s .

A slightly m o r e expens ive idea involves hi r ing a p l ane to d r o p on the men ' s hous ing a r e a s slips of p a p e r con ta in ing the names , te lephone n u m b e r s a n d vital sta-tistics of ava i l ab le girls .

A T H I R D conjecture st ipulates that g i r ls memor ize footbal l facts, pract ice tricky pool shots and

l ea rn s tock-car r ac ing l ingo in o r d e r to become m o r e conversa -t ional with boys .

Girls l iving in cot tages would at t ract men by compe t ing with Veur ink ' s City Kitchen; they would merely offer seven-course s teak d inners for $.65. (A pio-neer in the techniques of guy-gett ing, the G e r m a n House , has its member s of fer ing hair-cuts, b a c k - r u b s and Swedish m a s s a g e s for only $ .25 . )

The Admin i s t r a t i on is t ry ing to help out by of fer ing the use of the recently acqui red compu te r to help these hapless gir ls es tabl ish a har -m o n i o u s da t i ng re la t ionsh ip with some h a r d y h o m u n c u l u s .

AS A FOLLOW-UP to these p r o g r a m s , a go ld-s ta r char t could be placed in each d o r m to rate the p rog res s of the girls. Receiv-ing a telephone call or a male caller would entitle the girl to one gold star .

Actual " d a t e s " would be rated a s f o l l o w s : date with a semi-c rud -- two gold s tars , fair to mediocre male -- two a n d a q u a r -ter gold s tars , cool guy -- three gold s ta r s and B.M.O.C. -- five gold s tars .

One s ta r would be sub t rac ted if the date showed up wea r ing white socks, without a ca r or l o o k i n g seedy. E x t r a s ta r s would be given for ove rn igh t dates , out-of-town dates a n d motorcycle dates. The C o n g r e s s i o n a l Medal of H o n o r would be a w a r d e d to those va l i an t m a i d e n s willing to accept a blind date.

IT IS F E L T tha t these pro-g r a m s would shed some light on, if not solve, the severe da t i ng p r o b l e m faced by two out of three Hope girls.

Candid Remarks Heard As Frosh, Parents Talk

Editor's Note: Two anchor re-porters recorded a candid con-versation on a placemat while having dinner at Howard John-son's Restaurant last weekend. What follows is a chronicle of conversations between two Hope freshmen and their parents.

" T h i s is the first y e a r we have-n't had a p u m p k i n in 18 y e a r s . "

This exc l ama t ion of mixed emo-tion, poured out by a pa ren t re-cently reunited with her f r e s h m a n son, was one of the m a n y over-heard on the F r i d a y night of Parents ' Weekend.

Reported one of the s tudents , " Y o u don ' t know whether to call them Mr. or Dr., so y o u call them all Dr. and flatter the ones who a r e n ' t . "

" T h e r e ' s only one place in town where you can get p a c k a g e d h a r d l iquor , and tha t ' s the G r e y h o u n d bus s t a t ion . "

Replied his fa ther , "Well, at least you should be able to d r i n k in the p r ivacy of y o u r own r o o m , even if not a n y w h e r e else on cam-p u s . "

Mother than repor ted , " R u s t y can ' t u n d e r s t a n d why y o u ' r e be-ing sent a w a y , put a w a y or left a w a y , or whatever it is. She s ta r t s to whine and cry. The other d a y y o u r father even got down on the f loor and p l ayed with Bobby--tha t ' s s o m e t h i n g . "

" M o m , if you ever h a v e a chance to see a N o h d r a m a , don ' t g o . "

" J i m , have you t aken M a r y out yet?"

" W h a t are you t ry ing to do, p l ay Cupid? T h a t ' s the third time y o u ' v e asked me - when you called, when you got here a n d n o w . "

"1 go off to college and w h a t ' s the first thing they d o ? Buy a color T V . "

" Y e a h , tha t ' s to fill the lonely spot in o u r hea r t s af ter you left ."

" D o n ' t s ay that too loud. Some-

b o d y migh t h e a r y o u . "

" T h e nice th ing abou t Slater is that they use Heinz ke t chup . "

" S u r e I'll h a v e dessert. Last night we had this hu r t in ' swi r l . "

Dad: " I s soccer a fall s p o r t ? " " Y e a h , but n o n e of our fall

spor t s a r e too t o u g h . "

" A b u n c h of us g u y s meet in a r o o m in the evening. But we can never meet in m y r o o m , cause my r o o m m a t e goes to bed at 10 o ' c l ock . "

" S p e a k i n g of aunts , wha t is her last n a m e ? V a n what? Oh y e a h , V a n d e r F l e e t . T h a t ' s Dutch - no w o n d e r I cou ldn ' t r emember it."

The View From Here

Time and China By Jan Huber

In a recent issue of Time, a Time essay a p p e a r e d with the title " A m e r i c a ' s Pe rmanen t Stake in A s i a . " Here, a p p a r e n t l y was Time's answer to Lin Piao.

On Sept. 3, 1965, a m a j o r pol-icy s ta tement a p p e a r e d in the lead-ing Peking n e w s p a p e r s that has since ga ined n o t o r i o u s fame in the West. It was an article on the never-ending s t ruggle between the " r u r a l a r e a s " of the world, name ly the undeve loped world.

IT WAS written by Lin Piao, the Defense Minister of China, who has now become the heir-apparent of Mao Tse-tung. The "Lin Pia.o document" was com-nared bv Secretarv of State Dean Rusk to Hitler s 'Mem Kampi.

Yet, in spite of the aggress ive rhetoric that m a r k s this document as it does so m a n y communi s t s tatements , the policy stated in it was charac ter ized by cau t ion and flexibility. As D.P. Mozingo and T.W. Rob inson of the RAND C o r p o r a t i o n h a v e poin ted out in a recent article in "Rea l i t i e s , " the " L i n P iao d o c u m e n t " conta ined the fol lowing ideas:

T H E VIET CONG a n d other r e v o l u t i o n a r y m o v e m e n t s should strive t o w a r d s the es tabl i shment of a "un i ted f r o n t " as the one the Vietminh es tabl ished in the be-g inn ing of the w a r a g a i n s t the J a p a n e s e in 1941. The social pol-icy of r evo lu t i ona ry movemen t s in their " l ibera ted a r e a s " shou ld be m o d e r a t e in o rde r to win the al legiance of the " l ibe ra ted peas-an t s . " Revo lu t iona ry m o v e m e n t s should rely on their own forces.

The Chinese a re a l w a y s quick to point out that they won their own r evo lu t iona ry w a r with neg-ligible aid f r o m the outside.

Senior Visits Hamlet

Le Loi: War Widow Community Editor's note: The fol lowing ar-

ticle was written by senior Jeff Powell who visited Southeast Asia last summer. He spent one week in South Vietnam which included a trip to Le Loi, the hamlet sup-ported by Hope.

By Jeff Powell At first a p p e a r a n c e , Le L o i

seems to be typical of m a n y Viet-n a m e s e hamlets , but c l o s e r r e -sea rch discloses m a n y u n i q u e character is t ics due to loca t ion a n d popu la t ion .

Located abou t 60 miles east of S a i g o n in L o n g K h a n h prov ince , the hamlet is f o u n d in one of the mos t s table zones in South Viet-n a m . Le Loi is a year-old w a r widow c o m m u n i t y that h a s re-located itself a n u m b e r of t imes a f t e r a 1954 mig ra t i on f r o m N o r t h Vietnam. The s h o r t a g e of men due to the pas t 25 y e a r s of w a r h a s caused 50 per cent of the ag r i cu l tu ra l class to be m a d e up of women.

LONG K H A N H p rov ince con-sists of va luab l e r u b b e r p l an t a -tions, scattered vi l lages and h a m -lets. Since the hamle t s a re u n a b l e to g row rice, their m a j o r t ruck c rops are c a b b a g e a n d beets.

Because rice is the s taple food a n d truck c rops spoil too easi ly , the c rops in the a r e a are of no use to the Viet C o n g . The shor t -age of able men in the a r ea m a k e s the p rov ince of little recrui t ing value . The VC c a n easi ly m o v e t h r o u g h the a r e a because of the h e a v y cover of the p l an t a t i ons .

T H E S E C O N D I T I O N S h a v e caused a mutual understanding between the oppos ing forces to accept the locale as a general rest area. Because the main con-v o y route east from Saigon pass-es through the province, there is an occasional ambush or mor-tar attack, but there has been no major operation in the area for over a year.

Another reason for the relative peace in the area is that m a n y

the r u b b e r p l an t a t i ons . Most U.S. t roops still on ly assist South Viet-namese t r o o p s a n d need the per-mission of the p rov ince chief to enter an a r ea and call in a i r suppor t .

IN M A N Y I N S T A N C E S such requests a re denied because pro-vince chiefs are related to, o r influenced by, the p lan ta t ion own-ers, who a re l o o k i n g after their businees-intgfcoto. With the business interests. With the help of Mr. Ra lph J o h n s o n of USAID ( U.S. Agency of In te rna t iona l De-ve lopment ) , I was able to visit Le Loi and discuss the fu tu re p l a n s of deve lopments for the H o p e - H o l l a n d - H a m l e t . T h e f u n d s r a i s e d for the hamle t will be hand led t h r o u g h the USAID pro-g r a m which w o r k s in c o o p e r a t i o n with the p rov ince chief and hamle t priest.

It was decided that a kinder-ga r ten was g rea t ly needed by the hamlet a n d shou ld be the first bu i ld ing constructed. This build-ing would then be followed by a f o u r - r o o m school.

LE LOI, be ing a " N e w Life Hamle t , " is p a r t of USAID's Ru-ral Cons t ruc t ion project a n d is limited to a m a x i m u m of 170 ,000 p i a s t e r s ( $ 1 , 4 1 5 ) a y e a r of USAID tunds . i n r o u g n the help of H H H , the k inde rga r t en a n d other school c l a s s r o o m s will be

built while the n o r m a l m o n e t a r y q u o t a can be spent for heal th kits and school supplies .

As of now the b luepr in ts and budget h a v e been completed, but the money has not been sent to Saigon. The usua l a m o u n t of red tape, the presence of wa r , the posi t ional c h a n g e of developers , a n d most of all, the m a n y finan-cial p r o b l e m s h a v e c o m p o u n d e d to slow up p rogress .

State Depar tment f inanc ia l con-vers ion r e s t r i c t i o n s h a v e b e e n placed on all hamle t d o n a t i o n s in order to check poss ib le b l ack mar -ket convers ions that h a v e been ra i s ing the in f l a t iona ry level.

T H E B A N K ot Amer ica is al-most r e a d y to open a Sa igon b r a n c h which shou ld facilitate fi-nancia l convers ions that fo rmer ly were m a d e t h r o u g h channe l s in H o n g Kong .

Much of the U.S. fo re ign f inan-cial ass is tance is criticised t o d a y because of past d is t r ibut ion mis-takes. The H o p e - H o l l a n d - H a m l e t and its d e v e l o p m e n t t h r o u g h USAID is a new step in the di-rection of g r e a t e r p e r s o n a l in-volvement with the people of Viet N a m .

By s u p p l y i n g the l a b o r force, the people of Le Loi w o r k jointly with the suppor t of H o l l a n d to construct ively p r o v i d e for the needs of the people.

Far and M weigh, your best bet!

ristic in content. It begins with a jub i lan t note on the elections re-cently held in Vie tnam. They h a v e b r o u g h t a change , a cco rd ing .to Time, that "cons i s t s of a quick-ening of na t iona l pride, a new solidity of na t iona l spirit, a sense of a u t o n o m y a n d f r e e d o m " all over free Asia.

T H I S C H A N G E a p p a r a n t l y e x -tends even over communi s t Asia: " A n d it m a y not be too much to s a y that Red C h i n a ' s se tbacks helped to e n c o u r a g e Nor th K o r e a to p roc l a im its own p a t h of inde-pendent c o m m u n i s m , " says Time.

I ronica l ly e n o u g h , one of the issues in the conflict between N o r t h Korea a n d Ch ina is the al leged unwil l ingness of Ch ina to help their r e v o l u t i o n a r y bro thers in Vietnam, unless China benefits d i r e c t l y f rom it. Nor th K o r e a cha rges that Ch ina is obstruct-ing the flow of Russ ian aid to Nor th Vietnam. N o r t h Korea al-so s u p p o r t s the Russ ian p r o p o s a l of a "un i ted f r o n t " of all c o m m u -nist n a t i o n s aga ins t the United States in Vie tnam, a p r o p o s a l that C h i n a h a s openly rejected.

TIME LOOKS, then, t o w a r d s the tutu re. It a f f i rms the desire o f the United States to wi thdraw f r o m Asia a l together , but " a su rp r i s -ing n u m b e r of people doubt tha t the United States will ever with-d r a w its t roops f r o m A s i a , " it says .

Tha t shou ldn ' t su rpr i se Time, because a few sentences below it ca t a logues the w a r effort of the United States in East Asia: " 3 3 0 , 0 0 0 t roops a n d a i rmen n o w sta t ioned in Vie tnam and Tha i -land , the dozen m a j o r airf ields constructed or a b u i l d i n g ( s i c ) , the g iant po r t complexes of C a m Ranh B a y in South Vietnam a n d Sat tah ip in T h a i l a n d . "

Yet T ime s a y s , "Once peace is restored, it ( the U.S. ) intends to begin a w i thd rawa l that it hopes will leave not a single U.S. fight-ing soldier on Asian soi l . "

On top of it all. T ime concedes, a tew p a r a g r a p h s later, that the United States will never s tay away f rom Asia, but will pract ice a " s o r t of Yo-Yo s t r a t egy . " This " Y o - Y o s t r a t e g y " w o u l d m e a n

that " in t imes of t ens ion" t h e United States would " d i s p a t c h men and p l anes to fr iendly South-east Asian airt ieids.

ASIDE FROM the quest ion as to whether the Amer ican people would be wil l ing to send its sons r egu la r ly to Asia for an indefi-nite time to come, and whether the Asian countr ies would be will-ing to h a v e Amer i can mil i tary in-s ta l la t ions on their soil forever , wha t would the effect of this strat-egy be on C h i n a ?

In this context , the p a s s a g e be-g inn ing with " T h e United States h a s not on ly rights in Asia but a l so . . . " s o u n d s ominous . What " r i g h t s " does Time fancy the Unit-ed States to h a v e in Asia unless it th inks tha t might m a k e s r ight?

T H E U.S. HAS a s much or as little "right '*• in Asia as China or Russia has . h a c h ot these stales will insist on a s h a r e in the de-cisions a b o u t Asia, and it is ex-tremely unreal is t ic to a s s u m e that they will r enounce their share .

A policy like the one espoused in Time, ins tead of t ry ing to es-tabl ish a realistic ba l ance of pow-er in Asia, instead of facil i tat ing the c o m i n g to terms of China with the m o d e r n wor ld , would dr ive the Chinese people into even m o r e des-pera te and hyster ical anti-Ameri-can i sm and would lead to a vio-lent c o n f r o n t a t i o n between China a n d the LInited States.

Formsma Undefeated

Hope Runners Whip Kazoo, 27-29 Last S a t u r d a y , the c ross coun-

try t eam under the direction of their coach , Glenn Van Wieren, defeated a s t r o n g and well-balanc-ed Hornet s q u a d f rom K a l a m a -zoo, 27-29.

The Big Dutch were led by their s ta r r u n n e r Doug F o r m s m a , who is undefeated in l eague competi-tion. F o r m s m a won the meet in 20 :41 , ou td i s t anc ing his closest compet i tor by 30 seconds. Finish-ing a hal f -minute behind Fo rm-s m a was C r a i g Van Voorhees of Kazoo .

However , team points were the big issue of the meet, as Cal Os-te rhaven h u n g on for a third place finish, ou t l as t ing a Hornet m a n by seven seconds. W a y n e Mee rman r a n one of his best times

of the y e a r and finished fifth, o m y 16 seconds off Os te rhaven ' s pace, and on ly nine seconds back of the Hornet second m a n .

1" rosh Art Pedersen finished in seventh place with a good time, and Rich Bisson ended up in eleventh place 10 cap the scor ing for the Dutch.

The b ig meet of the s ea son is yet to come, and the team is pre-p a r i n g readi ly for it. The MIAA Conference meet will be held at K a l a m a z o o this T u e s d a y , and Hope h a s a very good chance of w inn ing this meet because they are present ing two of the best r u n n e r s in the league.

Doug F o r m s m a h a s been un-beaten in the league this s eason , and is expected to walk a w a y with

the ind iv idua l c h a m p i o n s h i p on l u e s d a y . Also in the r u n n i n g for

the Dutch will be Cal Os te rhaven , who last y e a r as a s o p h o m o r e finished second to Jim Dow of Albion.

Other team m e m b e r s represent-ing Hope will be; W a y n e Meer-m a n and Paul H a r t m a n , jun iors ; G a r y Peiper, senior ; Dick Bisson, s o p h o m o r e , a n d Art Pedersen, f r e s h m a n .

Goshen Defeats Dutch As Losing Skein Grows

In the last h o m e gciiiie of the season , the Hope College soccer team m a d e a s t rong bid to upset Goshen College a n d give them t h e i r first defeat in two years . However , a c o m e b a c k in the third q u a r t e r by Goshen g a v e the Ply-ing Dutchmen ano the r defeat, 3-2.

The kickers took a quick lead when Jeff Alperin scored on a p a s s f r o m Chuck Van Engen af-ter 3 5 seconds of p l ay . H o p e d o m i n a t e d the first half of p l a y with g o o d p a s s i n g a n d a s t r o n g defense, but the alert Goshen Goal-ie prevented the kickers f r o m scor-ing.

In the o p e n i n g minutes of the second half , a fired up Goshen team tied the score on ^ goa l by

Songo la at 2.50, a n d took the lead at 3 :30 when Smith scored. The score j umped to a p e r m a -nent lead of 3-1 when Songo la later a g a i n tallied.

Hope tried to retaliate, but a goa l by Van Engen with a n as-sist f r o m Alperin at 18:20 of the third q u a r t e r was the best they could do.

The 3-2 loss now gives the Dutch a one win and five loss record with two games remain ing . This S a t u r d a y the kickers t ravel to Illinois to joust with the C r u s a d e r s of Wheaton College.
