Discusses philosophy

AAB adds two more courses by Tom Donia anchor Editor

Two new courses were ap-proved by the Academic Affairs Board in its meeting Tuesday, and discussion followed concerning a proposal for reconceiving the phil-osophy major .

R O B E R T C O U G H E N O U R , as-sociate professor of religion, pre-sented his proposal for the adopt -ion into the curr iculum of Reli-gion 41: The Wisdom Li tera ture of Israel. The course as approved by the Board will " s tudy the role of the sages and their contr ibu-t ions to Israel's religious and intel-lectual life through examina t ion of the wisdom books of Israel."

Also approved by the AAB was History 52: The Greek World Since Classical Times. The course has no prerequisi tes and will trace the Greek world f rom the disin-tegration of ancient Greece to to-day. Major emphasis will be placed on the Byzantine period f rom the four th to the f i f t een th century .

The Board pos tponed action on a proposal f rom Dr. D. Ivan Dykstra, professor of phi losophy and chairman of the depa r tmen t , that would change the basic concept of a major in phi losophy. Under the plan, s tudents would be able to elect f rom the following program possibilities: phi losophy as a liberal arts major , phi losophy

of art , phi losophy of science, phil-osophy of the social sciences, phil-osophy of history or philosophy of religion.

BOARD MEMBER Dr. A. James Prins, professor of English, said the proposal was unique in its concept of the major studies pro-gram. He noted that the change would draw heavily upon "int-erdisciplinary s tudies ." Prins ques-t ioned the relation of the concept of a major with studies of College requi rements in a liberal arts col-lege.

Dykstra s ta ted, " O u r proposal is for a phi losophy major and only a phi losophy major. It it not a p r o g r a m of interdiscipl inary s tudies ."

DR. A R T H U R JENTZ, as-sociate professor of phi losophy and AAB chairman, said, " I t is our feeling in the depar tment that a s tudent majoring in phi losophy of science cannot have an ade-quate background if he knows nothing about science. We are not detract ing f rom the requi rements for a phi losophy major , we are simply giving him a broader back-ground by requiring that he take courses in o ther depa r tmen t s in his area of philosophical con-cern . "

IN O T H E R action, the Board passed a mot ion stating that the policy passed in December, 1968, concerning repeti t ion of courses

was not retroact ive, and applied only to s tuden t s enrolled at the t ime the policy was approved or following that date.

The policy states that s tudents who repeat a course will be given the grade which they receive in the course the second time. The first grade will appear on the transcript records for in format ion only, and will not be tabulated as part of the grade point average.

The second s tudent proposal for limited parietal hours in two years will be presented to the Campus Life Board this after-noon.

THE PROPOSAL, drawn up by the Student Congress, permits in-ter-visitation in all dormi tor ies within the limits established by the plan. Each living unit under the supervision of a resident ad-visor would de termine its own program within the prescribed limits.

The maximum limits establish-ed by the proposed plan are any two week nights f rom 7 to 1 1 p.m., two weekend nights f rom 7 p.m. to 1 a.m., and Sunday after-noon f rom I to 5 p.m.

U N D E R THE PROPOSAL dormi tor ies would be " o p e n to members of the oppos i te sex only if invited by a resident of the un i t . " A list would be posted " in a set convenient place within the un i t , " where the host will register the guest, giving da te , guest 's name, name of host , room num-ber, t ime of entry and time of depar ture .

The plan fu r the r specifies that " t h e hos t ' s door must remain open at all t imes, and that " t h e host is responsible for the act ions of the guest in accordance with the rules of the pol icy ." There would be no guest hours during vacations and during final exams.

FOR APPROVAL of a plan within a specific unit a two-thirds major i ty in a re ferendum by secret ballot must be obta ined. At any t ime during the semester a unit may appeal for a new plan by submit t ing a pet i t ion to the resi-

250,000 participate in DCs peace march

T h o u s a n d s of A m e r i c a n s streamed in to Washington D.C. last weekend to demons t ra te for peace in the largest mass march ever to be held in the na t ion ' s capital.

ACCORDING TO Jerry Wil-son, District of Columbia Police Chief, a modera te est imate was that 250 ,000 had paraded on Pennsylvania Ave. and a t tended an anti-war rally at the Washing-ton Monumen t .

The New Mobilization Com-mit tee , coord ina to r of the week-ends ' mass demonst ra t ions , said that 800 ,000 persons a t tended the rally on Sa turday .

THE MARCH was a cont inu-ation of the Vietnam mora tor ium

demons t ra t ion held last Oct . 15, which called for the immedia te withdrawal of all U.S. t roops f rom Vietnam.

The two-day Morator ium be-gan Friday morning with a death march proceeding f rom Arlington Cemete ry , past the White House and on to the steps of the Capitol Building. The march was a con-t inuous, single file procession in which each marcher wore a plac-ard with the name of a U.S. soldier who died in Vie tnam.

APPROXIMATELY 1,000 per-sons left the cemetery every hour for nearly 40 hours , with each marcher calling out the name on the placard as he passed the White

dent advisor with at least one-third of the residents ' signatures requesting a meet ing to re-consi-der the plan. Any unit wishing to exercise a guest policy must sub-mit its plan for implementa t ion and en fo rcemen t to the office of the Dean of S tudents , where it is kept on record. Each unit must renew its plan during the first week of each semester.

Enfo rcemen t under the pro-posal would be the responsibility of the resident advisor and repre-sentatives of the unit. According to the proposal , "if any resident of the unit witnesses a violation of the regulations of the policy, it shall be his responsibility to im-mediately report the violation to one of the of f icers ."

DECISIONS AS TO guilt or i n n o c e n c e and any possible punishments for violations could be handled ei ther by the resident advisors or the College Judicial Board. The Congress ' proposal outl ines when cases would be taken to the Judicial Board and when they would be handled by the resident advisors.

The proposal states that " t h e head resident or resident advisor have the power to suspend the plan of a unit for a period of time if: T h e program of guest hours disrupts the order of the unit , the residents of the unit seriously abuse the regulat ions of the pro-gram or the unit obviously does not accept the responsibility for enforcement of the policy."

LAST YEAR A much simpler parietal hours proposal for men 's dorms only was developed by the Inter-f ra terni ty Council and sub-sequently approved by the Stu-dent Senate. The proposal was defeated in the Campus Life Board af ter receiving a negative r ecommenda t ion f rom the Stu-dent Congress Commit tee . The IPC's proposal required verbal permission of the resident advisor to take a female guest to a dormi-tory room. Open houses would have been within the hours of 8 :30 p.m. to I a.m. weekend nights and Sunday a f t e rnoons f rom 2 to 6 p.m. Enforcement was to have been handled by the resident advisors in individual cases and by the Office of the Dean of S tuden t s where violations were widespread.

PRIOR TO THE CLB's deci-sion last year a s tudent referen-dum revealed that s tudents favor-ed the principal of inter-visitation by a major i ty of nine to one. Of the nearly 9 0 0 s tudents who parti-cipated in the poll, over 600 favored the IFC's proposal for their do rmi to ry . A similar poll was taken among faculty members

Frula Yugoslav Ensemble to present folk ballet The Frula Yugoslav Folk En-

semble will per form at the Hol-land Civic Center on Dec. 4 at 8 :15 p.m. as ano ther cul tural af-fairs event in the Hope Great Performance Series. Hope stu-dents and facul ty will be admi t ted free upon presenta t ion of ID cards.

T H E F R U L A ENSEMBLE depicts the cul ture , moods and heritage of Yugoslavia through d a n c e , acrobatics, and song. "F ru l a ' s repertoire is perhaps the most diversified and excit ing of that of any folk ensemble in the world t oday , " stated a spokesman for the group.

The 45 dancers, ranging in age f rom 12 to 28, are directed by Dragoslav Dzadzevic. There are a total of 100 dancers , singers, and inst rumental is ts in the organiza-tion. Dzadzevic is one of Yugo-slavia's top athletes, film star and dancer . After serving with two other folk ensembles, he fo rmed Frula, naming the group af te r the wooden flute which accompanies folk dances.

COMPETITION for the few vacancies in the ensemble each year is keen. Frula mainta ins a training school in which appren-tices undergo intensive prepara-

tion be fo re being admit ted to the professional company .

Once organized, Frula was in-vited to pe r fo rm in Belgrade. Its success was so ins tantaneous that it was invited to perform all over Europe . Tours to Latin and Cen-tral America ensued.

Many of Frula 's dances are based on Yugoslavia's persistant and dynamic struggle for f reedom against armies of invading Rus-s ians , Arabs, Moors, Greeks, T u r k s , F r e n c h , S p a n i a r d s , Romans, Bohemians, and maraud-ing Western F.uropean tribes down through the centuries.

THE LONGING FOR liberty is depicted in " T h e Komi tadz i , " a group of people who fought the Turks . The dance reflects the struggle, courage and comradeship of the people.

Frula won the First Prize at the World Folk Festival and Compet i -tion and per formed at the Bolshoi Thea te r in Moscow. Frula 's first United States tour came in January , 1968. It set a record for having played the longest conse-cut ively-booked tour within a single season of any dance com-pany in U.S. history. The Frula Ensemble has received over 30 o ther c i ta t ions and awards in its visits to 50 countr ies . FLYING H I G H - T h e Frula Yugoslav Folk Ensemble will perform in the Holland Civic Center Dec. 4.

Dramatist Charles Nolte to direct own work by Dave Thomas anchor Reporter

A sof t - spoken, self-assured pro-fessional playwright is working at Hope College.

DURING THE DAY he quietly cont inues to write a new play at the home of Dr. A n t h o n y Kooi-ker, professor of music. He spends his evenings in the Little Theatre working with the cast of Blessed Daddy, one of his plays. He oc-casionally lectures to a humanit ies class or theater group.

He is Dr. Charles Nolte, a play wnght-ac tor -d i rec tor f rom the University of Minnesota . The first 4<artist-in-residence" at Hope in two years, Nolte brings with him a wide range of exper ience in act-i n g - 1 5 years on Broadway and several appearances a b r o a d - a n d in the directing of his own plays.

NOLTE FINDS tha t Hope pro-vides a "good a t m o s p h e r e " for the work he is doing on his latest play, a biographical drama about the Swedish dramat is t August Strindberg. This play was com-missioned by the Swedish Insti-tute. Having researched and writ-ten the play in Europe , where the action of the drama takes place, Nolte is now finishing the work. He arises p rompt ly at 8 each morning to ply his craft and u s u a l l y r e m a i n s undis t rubed th roughout the day.

4 T m beginning to get the feel of Hope College,^ the artist no ted af ter th ree weeks here. "I find that Hope isn ' t the conservative kind of school one would expect of a church-aff i l ia ted ins t i tu t ion . " He character ized the school as " l ibera l" and "progress ive," but admi t t ed that he knew the school principally through the thea te r depa r tmen t and was much less familiar with o ther depar tments .

IN HIS WORK with the theater depa r tmen t , Nolte is impressed by the " t o g e t h e r n e s s " of s tuden t s and facul ty . " T h i s depa r tmen t re-sembles my graduate program at Minnesota ," he s^id. " T h e r e is no rigid, arbitrary separat ion between the teachers and the s tudents . Rather , all t he thea te r people func t ion together on a single social plane wi thout unnecessary form-alit ies." Nolte c o m m e n d s this " l ibera l" a t t i tude in the depart-ment.

The visitor 's praise fo r the theater depa r tmen t probably has a tinge of bias: three of the four theater facul ty , including the chairman of the depa r tmen t , s tudied under him at Minnesota.

NOLTE T E A C H E S at Min-nesota during the winter and spring quar ters and has a perman-ent leave of absence for the re-mainder of the year. As a teacher, he leads graduate seminars in play-writing and stage direct ion and

Congress to propose parietal hours plan

(continued from page 1) last year. The facul ty voted 41 to 28 against the IFC's proposal and 35 to 28 against the principle of inter-visitation. Re tu rns f rom a quest ionnaire sent to parents last year by the Dean of S tuden ts ' office ran five to t w o against the IFC's inter-visitation plan.

S tuden t - leaders are hope fu l that this years proposal will meet with acceptance because it is more specific than last year ' s proposal, including procedure for its estab-lishment in part icular dorms and means of e n f o r c e m e n t .

THE R A T I O N A L E which will accompany the open housing pro-posal to the CLB states, "Recogni-zing tha t the Hope College stu-dent is responsible for his social life, and recognizing that it may be healthier to help develop and formula te social matur i ty amid the con tex t of a Christ ian College a tmosphere , the S tuden t Congress

of Hope College proposes to make social responsibil i ty a necessary fact , placing increased conf idence and responsibi l i ty with the indi-vidual s tudent in his individual residence hall sect ion.

Recognizing that all s tuden t s do no t share the same ideas on h o w . extensive visiting hours should be, the Congress feels that permi t t ing each unit to de te rmine its own m a x i m u m hours will lead to more viable compromises , the rat ionale states.

O N E N F O R C E M E N T , the r a t iona le says that " c o n d u c t which may discredit the many responsible s tudents of the Col-lege should and will no t be toler-ated. S tuden t s must cons tan t ly be aware of the implicat ions of this policy, realizing that a few ir-responsible members of an other-w i s e r e s p o n s i b l e c o m m u n i t y would ruin it for all conce rned .

As a professional playwright , Nolte works on his writing at Minnesota and directs at least one play each year.

The 'Snow White' syndrome by Brenda Spears

Hope is really a puzzling p l a c e -at l e a s t t h e Adminis t ra t ion seems puzzled. Hope 's white com-muni ty has added its own feelings of al ienat ion and f rus t ra t ion and thinks it k n o w s the black stu-den t ' s p rob lem. It is an error ; it is impossible to lump Hope ' s white s tuden t s and Hope 's black stu-dents toge ther and arrive at a general a t t i tude towards educa-tion.

T H E G E N E R A L opinion a-mong whites, as voiced by the S tuden t Congress president Tim Liggett, in last week's issue of the anchor, is t ha t , "a black s tudent is here t o get an educa t ion so that he can enter society. Tha t society is n ine- tenths white and one ten th b l a c k . H e fu r t he r s ta ted, "If the black is merely educa ted f rom the black society he is receiving only one- ten th of an educa t i on . "

That s t a t emen t is r idiculous, and i l lustrates the nar row-minded-ness of many of the whi te stu-dents. First of all, Amer ican society is no t so easily p ropor t ion -ed i n to tenths . Has the white c o m m u n i t y fo rgo t t en the Puer to Rican, the Chinese, the Amer ican Indian and o ther groups that make up this nat ion?

LILY-WHITE towns , overf low-ing in western t radi t ion, are not the only communi t i e s in this coun t ry . This na r row-mindedness causes courses to be falsely repre-sented. For example , World litera-ture, is a course in Western litera-ture only. What is the ra t ionale behind this? Does that indicate that the academians of Hope have decided that the Orient is bar-baric, and that Afr ican works are too primitive?

The whi te s tuden t is p repared to en te r only a bigoted society

af te r four years here. He never learns tha t the whi te race is not the center of the world, and, the re fore , can only live this Amer-ican lie in towns such as Holland and Cicero.

AS BLACK s tuden ts , we are not here to en te r the white society. To be hones t , we've seen e n o u g h middle-class whiteness wi thout desiring t o imi ta te it. Your ideals are TV soap operas and political f igures with charisma. The white society suffers , as Jul-ian Bond so apt ly pu t it, f r o m the " snow whi t e " syndrome .

You wait for y o u r Saviour to appear in a " g r o o v y " ou t f i t , say-ing " g r o o v y " things tha t make little sense when applied to the world. You see, we do learn . . . four hundred years of oppress ion, bru-tali ty, deceit and d i sappo in tmen t does impress a race. We k n o w you for what you are; we have been forced to endure t h e white mon-opoly on mass media all our lives. AJ1 a round us is the white society with its artificial glitter, neon signs, air po l lu t ion and hypocr isy .

OUR AIM IS not to enter your crumbl ing world. En t rance into white society is no t a stable thing fo r a black person, anyway . Be r e a l i s t i c - t o white society a black man is always a black man first, then an educa ted man. He always has to struggle against these con-ditions.

An educa t ion , for a black stu-dent then , must do more than a white s tudent ' s . It must provide him with the necessary knowledge to help his people over throw white socie ty ' s mant le of oppres-sion and degradat ion . It must pre-pare him to face the struggle that is inherent with his p igmenta t ion .

AND, F I N A L L Y , it must coun-ter-act the white-washing that many " l ibera ls" force the black s tudent to endure . Blacks must relate to themselves and their ex-per ience; we must look at our heritage with respect , and em-brace our un iqueness and our blackness with pr ide.

For the black s tuden t , Hope is a disaster; we are in an intel lectual l imbo because we realize how little of the ins t ruc t ion will be relevant to our exper iences in a racist society. We also realize the narrowness that is prevalent in this ins t i tu t ion . There is only slight men t ion of the black cul-ture , while whi teness is r ammed down o u r throa ts . We black stu-den t s call the " H o p e Exper ience" by its r ight fu l n a m e ! Hope College doesn ' t seek t o e d u c a t e the black man, bu t t o i ndoc t r i na t e h im!

Student Church initiates membership plan

Moon walks sucessful

In a move to be t te r define the c o m m i t m e n t and the congrega-t ion of the Hope College S tuden t Church , the S tuden t Church is present ly ins t i tu t ing a member -ship plan.

There will be t w o means by which a person may choose to become a member of the S tuden t Church. All persons belonging to a S tudent Church task force will be invited to sign a covenant . The members of task forces who sign this covenant become church members . However, persons wish-ing to be part of a task force may cont inue to do so wi thout signing the S tuden t Church covenant .

The o ther m e t h o d by which membersh ip will be accompl ished is t h rough a s tudy class under the direct ion of the College chaplains. In this class, the basic d o c u m e n t s of the Christ ian Church and the

meaning of these d o c u m e n t s will be s tudied. At the conclusion of this course, and with the signing of the covenant , persons in-volved will become m e m b e r s of the S tuden t Church .

The es tab l i shment of Student Church membersh ip will fu r the r def ine the group of people who may be called upon to serve and to whom all i n fo rma t ion about t h e S tuden t Church will be com-munica t ed . It is the hope of the S t u d e n t Church Board that the feelmg of fel lowship will develop a m o n g the members .

In the fu tu re , only those who are members of the Student Church will serve on the Student Church Board of Trustees and as leaders of task forces. Participa-t ion as task fo rce m e m b e r s or par t ic ipa t ion in any other facet of S tuden t Church life will not be res t r ic ted to members .

System being re-evaluated

Hope ' s key system, which a l l o w s s e n i o r w o m e n and women of the age of 21 to sign out a d o r m i t o r y key , has proven beneficial in facil i tat ing late re-t u r n s , a c c o r d i n g to senior women .

THE SYSTEM has worked so well tha t , a f te r a review last spring, the privilege was e x t e n d -ed to w o m e n of the age of 21. Prior to that t ime, only senior women were allowed to take ad-vantage of the keys . Under the progressive re-evaluation of the key system each semester, the of f ice of the Dean of S t u d e n t s is cons ide r ing ex tending the privilege to jun ior girls.

J e a n n e t t e Sprik, Associate Dean of S tuden t s , felt that underc lassmen had no need fo r

the key privilege since late per-mission can be acquired rela-tively easily. Under the present sys tem, keys must be returned by 8 the fol lowing morning.

MISS SPRIK stated tha t al-t h o u g h the basic sys tem is working well, there have been several instances of girls giving their keys to underc lassmen, or letting.- underc lassmen in to the d o r m i t o r y af te r regular closing hours .

Several seniors noted the in-convenience of not being able to sign a key ou t for the week-end when they expect to return late on Sunday . At present , when a senior r e tu rns late Sun-day night , someone mus t wait to let her in. T h e key privilege, stated Miss Sprik, is designed to

Spinak current ly teaches and pe r fo rms in the Fires tone Conser-vatory of Music at the University of Akron. Before beginning his career as soloist and teacher , he served as principle violist in major British orchest ras fo r such leading conduc to r s as Sir Adrian Boult and George Szell. In 1950 he toured this c o u n t r y with Sir Thomas Beecham and the Royal Phi lharmonic Orchestra . Among the best known of Spinak 's teach-ers were Lionel Ter t i s and William Primrose.

Spinak will be accompanied by pianist Marian Jersild Lott . Mrs. Lot t has been highly acclaimed for conce r t s in the Cleveland-

allow late en t ry for a part icular evening only. To allow a key o u t f o r an entire weekend would be a security risk for the dormi to ry , she said.

KEY PRIVILEGE s t ipula t ions require that a girl indicate ex-actly where she is going and when she expec ts to re tu rn so that she may be con tac t ed in case of an emergency. Many girls felt this rule is t o o rigid. Some even felt that the College was being " n o s e y . " T h e y s tated that if the College felt they could handle the responsibil i ty of a key, they should also be allowed to decide where they want to go and w h o m they want to tell. Most girls felt they would tell someone in the do rm where they could be reached.

Inspite of these ob jec t ions , the major i ty of s tudents in-v o l v e d approve of the key s y s t e m . T h e p o l i c y states, " H o p e College believes seniors need to take greater respon-sibility for de termining thei r own academic health and social needs, and assumes tha t seniors will use this privilege as mature , responsible young w o m e n . "

O N E SENIOR girl ques t ioned the necessity of parenta l per-mission for a key when a 21-year-old w o m a n is legally an adult . According to Miss Sprik, s tudents accept the rules of the College when they are admi t t ed . These rules cannot be changed just because a s tudent reaches the age of 21. The policy s ta tes that a s tudent must have par-ental consent to acquire a key.

Dean Sprik stated that secu-rity and general workabi l i ty was the basis behind the checkou t procedure . With the checkou t system, there would be no loose keys f loat ing around and the College could keep track of the number of keys ou t at one t ime, she s tated.

T h e system is cont inual ly re-evaluated in order to make the p r o g r a m more practical fo r Hope s tuden ts . Dean Sprik said.

Pre-med committee to replace advisors

A Pre-professional commi t t ee for s tuden t s p lanning careers in the health sciences has been organized to replace the present premedical advisor.

The new c o m m i t t e e is a result of a recent review of the pre-medical and predenta l program on campus, which revealed needed improvement in advisory services for s tuden t s considering fu r t he r educat ion in the heal th sciences, said c o m m i t t e e chai rman Dr. Nor-man Rieck, associate professor of biology.

In the fu tu re s tuden t s will be responsible for seeking the num-ber of individual le t ters of recom-mendat ion requested by each school to which they apply. These letters will be sent to the commit -

tee ra ther than to the designated schools, said Rieck. The commit -tee will then " f o r m u l a t e a sum-mary or cover l e t t e r " and include it in the packet of le t ters which will be sent to the appropr ia te admissions off ice or off ices.

The commi t t e e will also advise s t u d e n t s individually and in groups " in order that the various s teps in the process of applying for admission may be adequately m e t , " according to Rieck. Help in choosing academic programs for various health professions will also be available.

Other members of the commit-tee are Dr. Douglas Neckers, as-sociate professor of Chemistry , and Dr. Ralph Ockerse, associate pro-fessor of Biology.

P a 8 e 4 Hope College anchor November 21, 1969

A sound proposal The Student Congress proposed Tuesday

a statement of College policy on interroom visitation for consideration at the Campus Life Board meeting this afternoon.

College legislative Boards have shown their confidence in Hope students on matters of personal responsibility in the past. Last year a system of keys for senior women was initiated. After it had been in effect for some time, the policy was expanded to include ail women 21 years of age or over, regardless of class standing. The Dean of Students' off ice has expressed satisfaction wi th the pro-gram, and is considering including juniors under the system.

This year upperclass women were allowed to choose to live in College-owned apartment housing. Although the

move was made to allow greater flexi-bil ity of College housing and to provide additional space for women, the apart-ments have, in a sense, been an addi-tional proving ground for student re-sponsibility. Women living in the Brum-ler apartments have a much looser policy of "parietal hours" than even those which have been proposed by the Stu-dent Congress for all students. There have been no problems wi th this policy reported by the Dean's office.

For years men have had relatively few Co liege-imposed regulations. Hope men have found that they must learn to pro-portion their t ime and activities in order to keep up w i th academic requirements.

Now the Congress has proposed that one restriction which is placed on men and women alike be liberalized for both. The students have placed realistic limit-ations on this " l iberal ization," and have told their representatives in the Student Congress that they desire that an inter-rom visitation proposal be submitted to the Cl^B for its consideration.

The proposal is a sound one, and one which answers many questions and objec-tions raised by committees and individuals in previous considerations of parietal hours. One of the most important and necessary articles of the proposal carefully outlines the principle of responsibility and authori ty exercised by each campus living unit . The proposal which the CLB must examine

Readers speak out

provides a general framework for the entire College, while the final decisions concern-ing hours of implementation, enforcement and other areas of concern are left to the students themselves through their f loor, cluster or cottage governments.

One result which the policy would cer-tainly effect if approved by the committee structure is to emphasize the role of the College Judicial Board as the community government's chief judiciary body. In every case of possible violation of the interroom visitation policy, the Judicial Board has jurisdiction or the right of review. This concept places the authority of maintaining the standards of the policy in the proper hands.

Other outstanding characteristics of the plan include the inclusion of the living unit resident advisor as advisor to the students in formulating their own open dorm standards within the frame-work of the overall policy statement. The RA has too often been a "cop" for students and too infrequently an advisor. The proposed interroom visitation policy provides the RA wi th an extraordinary opportunity to counsel students, for the Congress proposal itself notes that the success of the plan depends directly upon the sense of individual and co-operative responsibility displayed by the students.

Last year a parietal hours proposal was defeated by the Student Conduct Commit-tee. Hopefully, the new Congress proposal is more complete and more accurate. A poll taken last May showed that students were in favor of the principle of interroom visitation by more than a nine-to-one majority. The new Congress proposal allows even the smallest minor i ty to express its views by secret ballot. Breaking up large dormatories into smaller living and self-gov-erning units also facilitates a plan which is easier to administrer and more responsive to student desires and opinions.

If the community government structure has as its goal the careful consideration of policy by all members of the Hope com-munity, and if the structure is to reflect campus opinion in its legislative processes, then the Campus Life Board cannot ignore the overwhelming support which students have shown for interroom visitation. The Board should place its confidence in the students of Hope College and approve the Congress plan wi thout delay.

I am curious - max/ by Art Buchwald

We must face issues About a year and a half ago I took a

picture of the building where the United States and Nor th Vietnam were and still are engaged in a t t e m p t s to negotiate a peaceful set t lement to end the war.

F requen t ly I remember how excited I was when I took that p i c t u r e - p e r h a p s I expected a se t t lement in six months . To-day, 1 am much more excited about people marching fo r peace in a Washington mora-torium than I am about wearing a U.S.A. sticker.

My impat ience is possibly too keen, for although I am grateful for President Nixon 's e f fo r t s to end the war, I have come

•fTH- • S

£111 to feel that unilateral withdrawal is a necessary course of action for the United States to act on immediately. If we are sincerely commi t t ed to peace, I feel this necessitates fixing our p r io r i t i e s -na t iona l as well as i nd iv idua l -on achieving an im-mediate se t t lement . The 45 ,000 American dead could not have been interested in deliberating the shape of that table in Paris and neither am I.

I s topped to read the peti t ion which gave suppor t to Nixon 's e f fo r t s to negotiate a peaceful se t t lement . 1 d idn ' t sign it. My impat ience demands a re-examinat ion of national priorities and hopefu l ly a new focus on the immediate a f f i rmat ion of life today, not t o m o r r o w .

And, as 1 read the pet i t ion, 1 became engaged in a discussion with one of the s tudents advocating my signing of it. We began to talk about the history of Viet-n a m - i t s colonial domina t ion , its control by China, its consistently weak leaders, and the 1954 Geneva Accords which we engi-neered and subsequent ly rejected. The o the r s tuden t was not aware of the history of Vie tnam, as he openly admi t ted , bu t he blindly suppor ted current policy there.

My suppor t cannot a f fo rd to be that blind, for one of the things tha t history has shown me is that support so blind is not only hollow, it is also f requen t ly destruc-tive. It strikes me as paradoxical that while Nixon proclaims e f fo r t s to come to a quick but fair negotiated se t t lement , his vice-president, Agnew, cont inues to refer to impat ience for peace on college campuses as the work of a "minor i ty of pushy young-sters and middle-aged ma lcon ten t s . " For if it is invalid to overlook Nixon ' s "silent ma jo r i ty" , it is also inconsistent to regard voices on college campuses as " t hose who characterize themselves as liberal intellec-tuals ." Is it hard to unders tand more marches wi thout parade permi ts when the draf t calls force men to fight a war which is still undeclared?

Confl ict is heal thy, 1 believe, only if it causes us to face authent ic issues. The plea of the mora to r ium has been a call to face those issues, not to merely cause Washing-ton to be filled with marchers and National Guardsmen. Before rejecting each other , at least let us face one a n o t h e r - f o r the failure to do that could well get us into the next Vietnam.

Jan DeVries

Answers given I read with some dismay the letter

published in your Oct. 17 issue and believe that David Huang 's quest ions should not go unanswered.

His first quest ion is perhaps the most diff icult , for it subtly implies cowardice on our part . He also implies that the men already dead will have died in vain. Perhaps they have, because if a f t e r 4 0 , 0 0 0 Ameri-can lives and over $100 billion of our national treasury we are no t winning, then a reassessment is due. Maybe , just maybe .

I have refrained f rom making any com-ment about the maxi-length skirt up until now in hopes that it would go away. But I 'm starting to see more of t hem on the streets and I can no longer remain silent.

HEAVEN KNOWS I 'm not a prude when it comes to w o m e n ' s clothes, but when ladies f r o m good families start show-ing their ankles in publ ic , then I think someone has to make a s tand.

Our society is not ready for the maxL The shock of seeing w o m e n of excellent breeding walking down F i f th Ave. in New York with the bo t tom of their legs protru-ding f rom their skirts can only des t roy the fabric and morals of th is nat ion. How can men go about their business and keep their minds on their work when they are dazzled by the shamefu l sights of w o m e n f launt ing the lower por t ions of the i r legs in f ron t of every T o m , Dick and Harry?

A WELL-TURNED ankle can produce the most evil thought in any normal man, and the w o m e n who are wearing maxis, wi thout knowing it, are exci t ing and pro-voking men in to a state of f renzy .

I confess that even s o m e o n e like myself, who has lived a pure and monas t ic exis-tence, f inds it hard t o conta in my ardor when I see a maxi. The re is t o o much flesh showing for one person t o bear. Only the greatest of will power has prevented me f rom going up and pu t t ing a hand on a shapely calf jus t to make sure i t 's real.

THE WORST PART for most males, when a w o m a n wears a maxi-length skirt, is when she is sitting d o w n . T h e n the maxi has a t endency to slide up, and you can see part of her shin.

Even when she is wearing stockings, the effect of seeing a lady 's shin can cause any red-blooded man to go berserk.

T ime and t ime again, I have seen women purposely lift their max i two, three some-times four inches above their ankles in a

f l i r t a t i o u s m a n n e r wi thout thinking through the consequences. A woman fails to realize that such brazen behavior can only suggest to a man that she is leading him on, and eventually he will a t t empt to kiss her, a s i tuat ion she will be sorry she got into.

1 AM NOT JUST speaking for myself when I discuss the havoc that the maxi is causing in our everyday life. I have a fr iend who is unable to give d ic ta t ion to his secretary since she started wearing a maxi. When she sits, legs crossed and boots showing, he loses all train of thought . He has warned her if she cont inues wearing a maxi to work , he will have to let her go.

I know another man, of impeccable reputa t ion , wi thou t a brea th of scandal associated with his name, who was given a lift in a car by his f r iend ' s wife. In order to drive she had to lift her maxi to her knees. Someone on the bus saw her driving that way, and the man was so disgraced he had to leave the ne ighborhood.

THERE ARE PROBABLY hundreds of similar cases where the maxi-length skirt has played its share in breaking up homes and causing men to resort to violent and unpredic tab le behavior.

The danger of the maxi skirt, as I see it, is that if it becomes acceptable, the dress and coat designers could be encouraged to make the length even shorter . This year the ankles are showing, next year the upper part of the lower leg could be fea tured. Where will it all end?

1 say tha t unless the trend is reversed and we reject the maxi-length skirt as immoral , our women will become nothing but sex objects to be stared at on the streets, accosted in s tores and kissed in their homes . For af ter all, despite the strict moral cl imate we now live in, everybody is only h u m a n . Copyright 1969, The Washington Post Co.

'Subversive Activity:'An apple for the teacher Editor's Note: This week's a/7c/?or review is wr i t ten by anchor criti-ques editor Robert Kieft. He re-views Teaching As a Subversive Activity by Neil Postman and Charles Weingartner (Delacorte Press, $5.95).

by Robert Kieft

Things, say Neil Pos tman and Charles Weingartner in their new book Teaching as a Subversive Activity, have reached a sorry pass. From the ghe t to to posh suburbia , from kindergar ten to graduate school, our educat ional system and all the s tuden t s suf fer ing it are dying, if not already dead.

THE SCHOOL has become a museum for dus ty , useless infor-mation, a gymnasium for irrele-v a n t , sycophant ic , intellectual exercise, a cemetery for the corpses of learning and the intelli-gent involvement with the prob-lems of life. School , as most of us have known it, has ceased to have any meaning at all for the life we live t o d a y ; it is as empty and false as the proverbial sound-ing brass.

There can no longer be, and, if we are to survive as a society of free individuals, we can no longer afford to make, a dis t inct ion be-between educa t ion and life.

IN A WORLD which has been so radically changed by the media, by the s tul t i fying and dehuman-izing forces of bureaucracy and by the insecurity of the change in change itself (i.e., its fas ter and faster accelerat ion) , we can no longer tolerate an educa t ion that "leads out o f (as ours has) the w o r l d of our peculiar late-twentieth cen tu ry envi ronment into a past never-never land of pigeon-holed facts, thought less busywork and hopelessly anti-quated and no- longer- important "knowledge ."

Our sort of educa t ion has pro-duced an adul t who is passive, apathetic, un in te res ted , dull, ig-norant of his env i ronment and heritage, submissive and oriented first and fo remos t to pleasing authori ty by having the correct answers.

WE ARE P R O D U C T S of a system that treats people as though they were au tomobi les ; we are turned ou t of a mold , none of

us d i f ferent f r o m the o ther in ei ther mind or spirit, all of us comple te ly in terchangeable par ts in a huge, indi f ferent machine.

If man and, above all, man ' s quest ing intelligence are to survive in this depersonal ized world, a change is needed ; for if this t rend cont inues we are a dead p e o p l e -politically, moral ly , intellectually and " h u m a n l y . " We need a revolu-t ion , a revolut ion that will remake our view of life and restore the conf idence we once supposedly had in ourselves as active purpose-ful , po ten t , un ique and alive hu-man beings.

THE PRIME target and chief ba t t leground for this revolution must be the school. As a result of its impor tance in shaping our atti-tudes, our ability to interact soci-ally, and our ideas abou t the way things are, it is in the school that the revolution must happen .

It is there that the fu tu re direc-tion of millions of lives is deter-mined ; and so it is there that the revolut ion must strike to change things such that lives are d i f ferent -iated ra ther than made inter-changeable.

UP TO THIS point . Pos tman and Weingartner are like most o ther revolut ionaries: they see a problem and say that it wants a radical solut ion.

But they become impressive as revolut ionaries when , unlike many of their fuzzy-headed , confused little colleagues who want simply to topple the sys tem, they o f f e r a concre te and sys temat ic series of proposals f rom which to build a new world a f t e r the old has been reduced to a heap of sat isfying rubble.

POSTMAN AND Weingartner are rebels with a cause, and they have wri t ten a clear, for thr ight and intelligent book with a sensi-tivity and a sense of humor and purpose that makes that cause very exciting.

What these men have to say has been said in o the r ways be fo re ; but their book is of singular v a l u e - f i r s t for the concreteness of its r e commenda t i ons and, second, for the believable and commi t t ed humani ty of its basic purpose , which is tha t our educa t ion should equip each of us to survive as full , aware h u m a n beings in our particular world.

The Best of Peanuts

THEIR SPECIFIC recommend-ations are too numerous to discuss here; but their revolution (and this is an over-simplification) con-sists mainly in a total reorienta-tion of our th inking about what getting an educa t ion is and what it means to be educa ted .

Thei r single most impor tan t assumption is that the s tudent must be at the center and his educat ion def ined in terms of his unique existence and its needs; the teacher is his guide or helper in his a t t emp t to discover his uniqueness by quest ioning and to " m a k e his own meaning" ou t of his experience.

KNOWLEDGE IS not impor-tant for its own sake, bu t becomes impor tan t only as the s tudent can use it in conf ron t ing the kind of world he lives in; and his learning becomes impor tan t only as it changes his behavior. It is the s tuden t ' s peculiar needs and inter-ests that de termine what is " w o r t h knowing , " and the teacher must , by encouraging him to ask critical ques t ions about his experi-ence, let him develop this knowl-edge into a usable pat tern .

The au thors summarize their argument as follows: " T h e new educat ion has as its purpose the development of a new kind of person, one w h o - a s a result of internalizing a d i f ferent series of c o n c e p t s - i s an actively inquiring, flexible, creative, innovative, tol-erant , liberal personal i ty , who can face uncer ta in ty and ambiguity without disor ientat ion, who can fo rmula te viable new meanings to meet changes in the environment which threa ten individual and mutual survival.

" T H E NEW EDUCATION, in sum, is new because it consists of having s tuden t s use the concepts most appropr ia te to the world in which we all must live. All of these concep ts const i tu te the dynamics of the question-ques-tioning, meaning-making process that can be called ' learning how to learn. '

' T h i s comprises a pos ture of stability f rom which to deal fruit-

fully with change. The purpose is to help all s tuden t s develop built-in shockproof crap de tec tors as basic equ ipment in their survival ki ts ."

FROM THIS REVIEWER'S vantage, the authors are much open to criticism at certain points; bu t , un fo r tuna te ly , the exigencies of space preclude discussion of those points here. In no way, however, does their question-ability mitigate the basic sound-ness of both their analysis of the current educat ional scene and their proposals to make the world of learning a more exciting and relevant one.

Theirs is an extremely provoca-tive book and should be read by anyone who claims to be inter-ested in what our schools are and could be.

Teaching As a Subversive Acti-vity is short and fast; read it one night and the next day go to class like Fnglish 15 or Interdisciplin-ary Studies 35, where some of the new educat ion is being tested.

YOU WILL NOTE two things, first, how stuck we are as s tudents and teachers in our old way and how much a really major revolu-tion is needed to wean us away from those old, secure, deadly limits; hopefu l ly , too , you will see the promise and adventure which the radical f reedom (and its a t ten-dant intellectual and social re-sponsibility) of the new educat ion holds.

Homage to the peace marchers by Drew Hinderer

You 'd driven all night through the snow and sleet, and then you found yourself in Washington, s tanding in a c rowd, leaning f rom side to side, singing and s tamping your cold fee t . A yippie danced next to you and you felt uncom-for tab le because he smelled like pot and looked dopey.

YOU'D H E A R D that the Black Panthers had brought in guns, and that t housands of national guards-men had been alerted to quell the violence you 'd be automat ica l ly suspect of ; y o u ' d heard of people get t ing killed in police charges and you were imagining what a billy-club could do to your skull. You 'd heard people tell you how to do a Japanese snake-dance, how to sit d o w n in f r o n t of angry guardsmen, and how to keep orderly and quiet when they try to make you violent.

T h e Civil Liberties men had told you to plead nolo contendere if y o u got arrested, and it would only cost you $25. And you were wonder ing if you 'd run; were these weird people the sort of t r oops you 'd want to go into bat t le with?

Y O U T O O K C O M F O R T , though , in the very weirdness of y o u r fellow marchers. All the dull kids, too s tupid to s tudy , staring out the window in the back row, playing in fantasy with the girls in f r o n t of them, were no t here. No, you were no t stupid. It was your very intellectual hunger that drove

you on t o higher and higher criti-ques of the communi t i es you f o u n d yourse lves in, u n t i l -Washington and the March A-gainst Death.

So you marched in the rain and the snow, f r o m Arlington to the coff in , and d ropped the name you bore in to its bo t tomless s tomach . You may have cried. You sang songs and s tood toge ther and waved the t w o fingers of victory in peace together . T h e n you got into your cars, shouting your slo-gans t o blank-eyed high school kids at intersect ions who had sneaked out of study-hall for a cigarette.

NOW YOU ARE BACK. One of you tried to talk about his courses with me but he wound up yelling that I was a gutless intel-lectual snob. One of you just looked at me with big sad eyes that said she 'd realized now that no clean American kid will ever give up anyth ing for a little Viet-namese girl burned by the VC or us. And one of you is asking why nobody really talks to him any-more; i t 's as if they think he's gone cold, intellectual and re-served.

You will never be able to come back. You have done something good and hones t and meaningful ; you have been with people who believed in good and hones t and meaningful things, and you will never be able to re turn to cheap sophist icated disinterest again.

OF COURSE, you will be cor-rupted . You will never be able to survive the ravages of apathy and dateless weekends and easy sub-mission. But you were close to the truth last weekend. And you will know that anyth ing else is a lie.

But this is not all of the cost by any means. You will hear a demand that you no t tear down unless you will take responsibility to rebuild. And you know that you can ' t rebuild. You will begin to see ever more of the lies and decept ion that is fos tered on all of us all the t ime, and you will feel powerless and f rus t ra ted , and wonder what is wrong with you.

we are fighting more than Com-munism, a force much stronger that has laid low all who oppose it. Maybe we are fighting ration-alism, and if this is the case, we will never win, and indeed any freedom-loving American should not hope to win.

Huang then accuses the move-ment of wanting to abandon all of Southeast Asia. Very few would support this idea. What we do oppose is the imposition of Amer-ican will on people; who have clearly demonstra ted they do not desire our presence. Let us rid ourselves of the notion that a free democratic government invited us there. Diem ruled with the same methods as were used in the North. The current leaders in the form of Thieu and Ky are no more democratic. Their chief opponent in the '67 elections now is in prison, his family now in exile.

Yes, we have thought of the consequences of American with-drawal. If we exercise the proper control over the military we will realize a $ 100 billion "peace div-i d e n d / ' The Pentagon has already warned that the money is not there, but only because they pro-pose to spend it on useless arma-m e n t s - o n ABM's that don ' t work and carriers that are obsolete before their completion.

A war of existance does mean a great deal to us. And we see the United States on the wrong side. We are walling ourselves in to an indefensible position in relation to emerging nations everywhere.

The race question Huang then threatens us with is not worthy of consideration. In passing, how-ever, those who shout Decatur 's words " m y country , right or wrong" should be advised of the rest of his admonit ion "if she be right, let us keep her so, if she be wrong, let us make her r ight ."

Yes, we are certain that free-dom is not involved in : South

Vietnam. Because if freedom means concentrat ion camps (there are more in the South), news c e n s o r s h i p (eight newspapers closed this year) or political rep-ression as experienced by Trong Van Da Then, then freedom can-not be involved. If the United States continues, it will face not defeat in South Vietnam, but in Africa, Latin America and else-where as well.

The question, to paraphrase Ralph Waldo Emerson, is not if we shall continue in our pact with the devil, but even now chose to do God 's will

A tribute For the past four teen years

there has been a body of indivi-duals on this campus whose lives have been indelibly influenced by one man. This year that man has resigned his technical role of lead-ership, and many of us regret his loss, which in a very meaningful sense becomes our loss. This letter is no t an a t t empt to bemoan that loss however, nor is it an at tempt to revoke that decision which has been so thoughtful ly made. It is rather a t r ibute to the character of the man tha t made it. Coach Russ De Vette.

For fourteen years Coach De Vet te has led the Hope CoUege football teams through the myriad of experiences tha t compose a footbal l season. He has led ably, he has led well, when his teams faltered he has offered the exam-ple of incentive ra ther than the excuses of inepti tude. When they have won he has graciously ac-cepted the praises of the victor-ious, and then only when his humility could remain uncom-promised.

P e r h a p s most impor tant ly , Coach De Vette is a man dedicat-ed t o the principles of Christian love. When this involves sacrificing his high goals of success for the higher goal of conscientious indiv-iduality, he has readily made the sacrifice. A man of any lesser stature would have broken under the weight of these convictions.

He will be missed. His know-ledge of football is immense. His understanding of men, compre-hensive. We the members of the 1969 Hope College footbal l team pay t r ibute to a great coach, and a great man.

PEOPLE FOR PEACE—Protestors stand on steps of the Justice Department Building as part of the November War Moratorium held in Washington, D.C. last weekend.

Washington peace rally draws much criticism

(continued from page 1) House and placing the card in a wooden cof f in by he Capitol steps. About 46 ,000 names were called by the marchers.

Saturday morning at 11 the demonst ra tors marched f rom the Rotunda down Pennsylvania Ave., past the White House to the Wash-ington Monument where a rally was held. Only 250,000 persons were allowed to march, as the p a r a d e permit restricted the march to 12:30 Saturday after-noon.

AT THE WASHINGTON mon-ument Dr. Benjamin Spock and Sen. Eugene McCarthy addressed the demonstra tors . Arlo Guthr ie , Pete Seeger, Dick Gregory, Peter, Paul and Mary, and the cast of "Ha i r " also participated in the rally.

At dusk, af ter the mass demon-stration had ended, a small seg-ment of the crowd, members of a radical splinter group, moved to the Justice Depar tment buildings

where they burned U.S. flags, threw paint bombs and o ther mis-siles and were repelled by tear gas released by the police.

THIRTY PEOPLE were ar-rested, most in connect ion with the violence at the Justice Deaprt-ment.

On Monday spokesmen for the Nixon Adminis t ra t ion, At t . Gen. John N.Mitchell and Communica-tions Director Herbert G. Klein, said tha t the demonst ra t ions , gen-erally considered peaceful , had actually moved Washington to the brink of a planned erupt ion of violence.

M I T C H E L L BLAMED the sponsoring commi t t ee for the vio-lence. He stated tha t top officials of the commi t t ee knew that the gathering would be a vehicle for violence.

In response to Mitchell 's state-ments the New Mobilization Com-mittee stated tha t they had no advance knowledge of and could not have s topped the disorders.

Zhivago's Russia continues search for truth Editor's Note: This week's anchor essay is writ ten by Wes Michael-son, 1967 graduate of Hope Col-lege and presently special aide to Senator Mark Hatfield (R., Ore.). Michaelson is currently touring the Soviet Union, and wrote the following article from Irkutsk, Siberia.

by Wes Michaelson

in Pas te rnak ' s / ) r . Zhivago, iht story is related by a high govern-ment official to a girl whom he thinks to be the daughter of his brother, Zhivago, and Lara. The official has come to Siberia searching for her, and gave her his copy of Zhivago's poems, Lara. Likewise, Zh ivago-which means "living" in Russian - came . . . to Siberia in search of new life, in search of (ruth, beauty and indi-vidual meaning.

A N D L A R A , P a s t e r n a k ' s symbol of nature, love and actual-ly Russia, becomes united with Z h i v a g o - w i t h l i f e - in Siberia. Though both Zhivago and Lara are then destroyed by the lifeless-ness of the new Soviet Union and its regime, which defiled beauty and crushed life in the name of the glory of the people, yet the promise of new life remains.

The daughter of Zhivago and L a r a - o f Russia's true l i f e - i s lost in Siberia, and a party bureaucrat , who was a victim of the revolu-tion, comes searching. Rebirth, celebrated each spring as the Si-berian forest comes alive with peasants who greet each other with "Christ is Risen" on E a s t e r -such a rebirth is the hope of the fu tu re .

plan, they will begin the course about March 1. Other GLCA schools have been offered the oppor tun i ty to participate via tele-lecture.

The class const i tutes a (ILCA ef for t to open a variety of art courses in specialized areas to more students. Vickers is a speci-alist in the field of African art. The television medium enables s tudents at schools who do not have a specialist to learn f rom, a knowledgeable instructor.

"It is my hope that this type of course will be continued in o ther areas of art history and with o ther GLCA schools," stated Vickers.

The course in African art will be regularly offered at Hope in a slide-lecture format . There are no prerequisites for admission to the course.

huge billboards celebrate the life of Lenin; his 100th birthday will be observed next year and the orchestrated crescendo scheduled to climax next April has already begun to build. In my hotel room the only radio station to be heard quotes f rom U.S. News and World Report about the inflat ionary crisis at home, and then follows with the relentless at tack on American imperialism, the only obstacle to world peace.

Last night a bright, open-minded student in Novisibersk told me with pride how he read the Canadian Tnhune - the Daily Worker of ( "anada-and therefore felt impressed about news f rom the West. The day before the editor of the Siberian Soviet argued with me that the Vietnam war would undoubtedly cont inue because of the influence of the capi ta l is ts who were making money from it.

ONE WONDERS whether Pas-ternak's hopes for his country are any closer to reality here in Si-beria today than they were when he lived and wrote. Soviet citizens have yet to read his work for themselves.

But there are undeniable signs of spring. 1 recently talked long into the night with an aero-dynamics theoretician here in Siberia. He had an honest scepti-cism about the prophetic and omniscient powers of Marxist-Leninist dogma, and an over-whelming curiosity and interest in the U.S., particularly in contemp-orary students there.

F U R T H E R , ART was his t rue joy and consuming pleasure. He loved the Siberian wilderness, and showed me his photographs and paintings which tried to capture the simple beauty of the world. His soul was searching for expres-sion and l i f e - f o r a spiritual reality that has been officially discarded, the vanguard party trying to usher in a materialistic Utopia.

There have been many others in this country like him: univer-sity s tudents in Moscow who told me of their alienation f rom a government that lied about Czech-oslovakia and prohibited free ex-pression: a young architect who told me how senseless his t ime in the army was, and how the gov-ernments speak of war while their people want peace; and a young professor who spoke with bound-less enthusiasm about the neces-sity and coming reality of peace, understanding and mutual respect between countries.

I CONTINUE to be amazed that despite the overpowering flow of biased information about the U.S. that comes to the Rus-sian people through the Soviet-controlled media, yet each Rus-sian 1 meet has sincere interest.

curiosity and warmth for me and the people of America. He tells me almost immediately how much he hates war, and how much he yearns for peace.

It is perhaps one of the great ironies of our age that an Ameri-can can find more genuine accept-ance and friendship among the people of Russia than in most countries of the West or perhaps even in his own land. Yet both countries together possess enough explosive power to equal 15 tons of TNT for each person on the globe. Both nations steadily in-crease their already excessive capacity to annihilate the other, and to do so at the neglect of their own pressing internal needs.

ANY POLICIES just ifying the destruction of millions of Rus-sians become hard to understand when you have met even a few of them. The xenophobic fears and irrelevant ideology imprisoning each of our governments in fool-hardy pastimes of military hos-tility must somehow be overcome by the warmth of understanding and compassion between the peo-ples of our countries.

It is harder to comment with any certainty on Russia's fu ture than on that of our own unpre-dictable country. But there are forces within both that yearn for newr life. The cont inuat ion of all life may well depend on the con-version of these subjective hopes into political reality.

EVEN DURING the Siberian winter in Irkutsk, one f inds evi-dence that the Zh ivagos - the liv-ing o n e s - a r e searching for t ru th , and that a new world may be born. And one hopes he would find the same in Michigan, where winters are also cold.

Basketball team 'as good as ever' this year

WHERE N O W ? - F r e s h m a n T o m Wolters (r ight) fakes a pass while f reshman Dana Snoap s tands prepared to gain possession of the ball during pract ice last Wednesday.

by Pete Struck anchor Reporter

H o p e ' s 1969-70 basketball squad has been practicing for a couple of weeks preparing for its first game of the season on Dec. 3 against Aquinas College.

HEAD COACH Russ DeVette is qui te pleased with the team this year. "As a whole the squad will be as good as ever, meaning that we have great d e p t h , " he com-mented.

The squad is headed by five r e t u r n i n g le t termen, four of whom were starters last year. Sen-ior T o m Dykstra will be the team captain this year. Dykstra led the Michigan Intercollegiate Athlet ic Association in free throw shooting last year with an 87 percent aver-age. The 5-10 guard also scored an average of 11.5 points per game.

RIC SCOTT is the only return-ing junior le t terman. Scot t was not a starter, but he saw action in 18 of the 21 games Hope played. A guard last year, he will probably see action in the forward spot this season.

Sophomore Dan Shinabarger was the o ther starting guard last year. Shinabarger was named to the second all-MlAA team as he finished the season with an 18.4 scoring average against league foes. He also led the Du tchmen in scoring with a 15.1 game average.

Dinner Wednesday will be the last meal in November included under the board fees. All meals during the Thanksgiving recess will be available to s tudents at the regular cost for non-boarders.

Cost for breakfast will be $ .75, $1 for lunch, $1.50 fo r regular dinner and $1.75 fo r Sa turday night steak dinner. The Thanks-giving dinner will be free fo r seven-day boarders , and will cost

I hate snow, ice, wind and all the o ther wonder fu l things that go with cold, wintry weather. To get my mind off the weather , 1 like to think of the warm sun, the plea-sant breezes and the green grass which are all t rademarks of sum-mer.

OF COURSE, when 1 think of summer , my thoughts tu rn to baseball. Talking and thinking about baseball, like talking and thinking about warm weather , helps take my mind off the bitter-ness of winter.

The oppor tun i ty to talk and think about baseball came as the result of two recent develop-ments . One of these was the ridi-culous a m o u n t of snow that some practical j oke r dumped on Hol-land last weekend. The o the r development was the announce-ment , made earlier this week, that the Chicago Cubs had t raded 19-year old rookie out f ie lder Oscar Gamble , along with pi tcher Dick Selma, to the Philadelphia Phillies for 30-year-old out f ie lder J o h n n y Callison.

I AM NOT a Cub fan. And yet , 1 couldn ' t help seeing the meaning in that t r a d e - t h a t Chicago teams still have not learned their lesson. They cont inue to t rade away young players with great fu tures .

The Cubs, White Sox, Bears and Black Hawks, through the years, have all been guilty of trading away promising young-sters. Perhaps the White Sox are the most no tor ious of all. On their 1959 American League champion-ship squad, for example , the Sox had a rookie f irst-baseman named Norm Cash, and a pair of young catchers. Earl Battey and J o h n Romano .

KEN HENDR1X was a starting forward last season for the Dutch and finished the campaign with a 13.3 scoring average. He was second in rebounds with 192, averaging over nine per game.

Forward Marty Snoap com-pletes the list of re turning letter-men. The 6-2 sophomore led the team in field goal accuracy with a .528 percentage. He finished the season with a 12.4 scoring aver-age.

S E N I O R T R A N S F E R Dan Edwards leads the group of new varsity players. Edwards played last season with Grand Rapids Junior College. He and Dykstra were t eammates there as well as in high school.

Cassius Bul tman is back again this year, too. Upperclassmen will remember him f rom when he played with Hope ' s f reshman team back in 1967. Unfor tun-ately, he missed last season be-cause of mononucleosis .

G U A R D S L O R E N Z O Howard and Jon Constant have also moved up to the varsity f rom last year ' s freshman team. Howard was the leading scorer on that team with a 19.6 per game average, while Con-stant was the t eam's best ball-handler and playmaker .

Coach DeVet te has called up four f reshmen this year to join the varsity.

$1.75 for five-day and non-boarders.

This arrangement for vacation meals began with the new food service two years ago, according to William Boyer, head of Saga Food Service. He stated that the reason fo r charging s tudents for meals was the injustice of the former m e t h o d . The major i ty of s tudents paid for meals which approximate ly 100 s tudents re-maining on campus ate.

By Opening Day, 1960, all three had been t raded off. Bat tey went on to s tardom at Minnesota, Romano became a star at Cleve-land, and Cash is still h i t t ing 25 homers a year at Detroit .

THE WHITE Sox also had, at one t ime, a hard- throwing young pitcher by the name of Denny McLain. They d idn ' t have room for him on their roster , though, so they cut him loose. Detroit picked him up on waivers fo r $8,000. and now McLain is one of the top pitchers in baseball. The Sox also had the 1966 AL Rookie-of-the-Year in Tommie Agee, but they traded him to the Mets in '68. Agee was one of the big reasons for the Mets' success this past season.

Not to be ou tdone by the other Chicago teams, the Black Hawks, prior to the 1968-69 sea-son, t raded Phil Esposito and Ken Hodge to the Boston Bruins. Esposito set a new NHL scoring record, while Hodge was among the league's top ten goal scorers.

THE BEARS helped to get the whole thing started eight or nine years ago by sending quar terback Don Meredith and l inebacker Chuck Howley to the then fledg-ling Dallas Cowboys . Meredith, now ret ired, was one of the NFL 's best quar te rbacks , and Howley is a perennial All-Pro.

But the Cubs, of all people, should know bet ter . They have been burned so many t imes in this manner that it would be ludicrous to try to name all the guys they 've given up on. Ron Perranoski is one of them; he ' s gone on to become one of the leading relief pi tchers in the game.

T o m Wolters and Dave Gos-selar, 6-6 and 6-5 respectively, are expected to fill the gap left by center Bruce Van Huis.

D A V E H A R M E L I N K and Dana Snoap will be compet ing with Hendrix and Marty Snoap for exper ience at the forward positions. Harmelink played for Class A state champion Ot tawa Hills last year. Dana Snoap, brother to Marty Snoap, played for Godwin Heights.

DeVet te plans to start the four returning regulars for at least the first few games. Either Wolters or Gosselar will probably start at center , but Hendrix remains a possibility at that posit ion.

COACH DEVETTE feels that he is in a most comfor t ab le posi-tion this year because of the depth of talent on the team. He plans to exper iment with d i f ferent c o m b i n a t i o n s a g a i n s t b o t h Aquinas and Concordia in the first two games of the season.

DeVet te ' s game plan will call for a running team with a lot of fast breaks. The defense will be a pressing one. The team has also been working on a ball control type of of fense .

ONE OF THE biggest problems DeVet te anticipates this year is playing bigger teams. That prob-lem will be much greater outs ide of the M1AA, though.

The M1AA is expected to be tougher than it was last year, when the Dutch finished four th with a 5-7 record.

Calvin College, which won the conference with an 11-1 mark last year, lost t w o star ters through graduat ion. Seniors Mike Phelps and Ed Wiers will bo th be back again this season. Both players were selected to the first all-MlAA team last year. Del Willink and Doug Taa t jes are o ther re turning regulars.

THE TEAM to beat this year will probably be Alma. The Scots finished second in the M1AA with a 9-3 season record. T h e y had the best of fense in the league with an 87.3 per game scoring average.

THE PLAYER who stands ou t most in a n y b o d y ' s mind, though, is Lou Brock. Brock, a f t e r two-and-a-half years as an erratic ye t promising Cub outf ie lder , was shipped to St. Louis in tha t now-famous " t r a d e " of June , 1964. The rest, of course, is history.

Cub fans, bo th on this campus and back home , have told me tha t if there ' l l ever be ano the r Lou Brock, Oscar Gamble will be it. Gamble, who ' s been in pro ball less than two years, hit .299 in the Texas League in '69 . The scouts all say he ' s got blinding speed, a good glove, a good arm and very quick wrists. And he bats lef t-handed , which will enable him to beat out several infield hits.

LEO D U R O C H E R even said that Gamble reminds him of Willie Mays when that superstar first arrived on the big league scene. Still, the Cubs t raded Gamble away.

For Gamble , the Cubs received Callison, who fi ts in to the whole story in a ra ther ironic way. Calli-son, you see, was once a 19-year old rookie flash himself , only he was with the White Sox at the time. But the Sox gave up on h i m Naturally, he was t raded, at age 19, to the Philadelphia Phillies, with whom he became a s tandout r ightfielder.

CALLISON MAY have a good year with the Cubs, and maybe he will prove to be that needed ext ra boost that could spell pennant in 1970. Still, the fact remains tha t ano ther Chicago team has given up on ano the r promising f u t u r e star.

And tha t ' s enough t o make me s top th inking about baseball for awhile.

Alma lost only one starter f rom last year ' s team, that being all-MIAA guard Drake Serges. Jun-ior Charles Hudson, another all-M1AA selection, heads the re-turnees. Hudson was third leading scorer in the conference with a 19.0 game average.

KALAMAZOO College should be really tough again this year, as they lost only one starter. Tha t was a big loss, however, in the person of Gene Nusbaum, who was the league's most valuable
