DeYoung commented that Hope has been moving in the direction of self-governance, but that "there is evidence that people living in residence halls aren't willing to spend the time necessary to regu- late their own affairs."

Vice-President for Student Af-fairs Robert DeYoung expressed support for the concept of self-governance, but disapproval for the Campus Life Board's version in an interview Wednesday.

DEYOUNG STATED, "I be-lieve in the concept of self-governance," but qualified that with the statement, "It's one thing to talk about it and another to implement it."

Emphasizing the large amount of student involvement necessary for self-governance to be realized.

DeYoung commented that Hope has been moving in the direction of self-governance, but that "there is evidence that people living in residence halls aren't willing to spend the time necessary to regu-late their own affairs."

AS AN EXAMPLE, he cited the original implementation of parietal hours which was "cen-tered around the concept that students would spend more time in the living units." DeYoung stated that as it turned out stu-dents didn't spend that extra time as intended.

DeYoung described the present

structure as allowing a large de-gree of self-governance, but ac-ceded that "maybe it is time to try something more elaborate."

THE PROPOSAL for self-governance as passed CLB was met with disfavor by DeYoung because it "paid little attention to how self-governance would be structured."

DeYoung also disagreed with the CLE's action because it left open the "possibility of 24 hour visiting privileges and drinking al-coholic beverages in the dorms." DeYoung is against both of these as , he isn't convinced that they

Because a person attends col-lege for an education, DeYoung considered dorm life a different experience than living in an apart-ment as the express purpose of dorm life includes studying.

Powell appeal turned down

Charles Powell, assistant pro-fessor of linguistics, h^s had his appeal for tenure denied by the Status Committee. "I talked to Dean Rider and he said there was no change made in the terminal contracts," he said.

Powell was given a one-year terminal contract. As to his future plans he commented, "I really won't have a chance to sit down and decide until summer."

Honor farm.../no regeneration except in freedom' By Lynn Gruenwald

"There can be no regeneration except in freedom. Rehabilitation must come from the individual and not through coercion." This was the official statement used in California by Kenyon J. Scudder, as the basis for a minimum security prison, the Chino Institu-tion for Men.

THIS CONCEPT OF freedom and responsibility is becoming increasingly accepted today by prison reform advocates who believe in rehabilitation. The Kent County Honor Camp in Gowen, Michigan, is an outgrowth of this belief, and one of two institutions of its kind on the county level throughout the country.

An extension of the Kent County Jail system, the camp is situated, several miles east of Grand Rapids on 87 acres of farmland and forest. Director Jim Vanderkodde, former police lieu-tenant, said the crimes of the men at the camp range "anywhere from shoplifting to assault with entent to murder."

THE HONOR Camp consistent-ly houses about 35 men between the ages of 17 and 21, all of whom were tried in Grand Rapids Courts and would have spent a prison term in the Kent County Jail. Instead, they will spend from 30 days to a year in a compara-tively free environment.

Each man is required to fulfill certain obligations. If he wishes, he. can leave. There are no bars, fences or guards to stop him. But he is made aware of the conse-quences, so that he is responsible for himself. "It's an honor sys-

tem," stated Vanderkodde. "and it works."

V ANDERKODDE described the camp's origin ten years ago; "It began as a dream of a former sheriff who believed in change. He felt a maximum security institu-tion was not the route to go with young people."

Since that time, the program has evolved from what was pri-

. marily therapy to an emphasis on rehabilitation and training. The s t a ^ ^nsists of nine counselors, a dietician, an automotive vocation-al instructor and professional part-time help

AMONG THE chief Unalien-able rights of men" listed in the orange pamphlet entitled "Policy and Procedures Statement," is "the right to visitation on Satur-day by girlfriends and Sunday by blood relatives, the right to bring a grievance before those in author-ity," and "the right to expect fair and impartial treatment from the staff, adequate clothing, bedding, medical help and food to meet his requirements."

In addition to these rights are certain regulations which the men are expected to accept, such as refraining from fighting and gamb-ling, being in the dining hall'at the required times, and participating in camp details.

TEACHING THE men to ac-cept these responsibilities is one of the basic purposes of the camp, according to Vanderkodde. Most of the men are high school dropouts.

By giving them responsibilities, he asserts, the camp is able to prepare the men for return to society "because when you get on the outside, you're going to have

Ifs hard to believe

i

to get up in the morning, and you're going to have to do jobs you don't like."

MOST OF THE jobs done by the men are outdoor jobs. The daily routine includes several breaks: midmoming, lunch and afternoon.

Basically, the projects seem aimed at making the camp self-sufficient. During the summer the men farm six and a half acres of vegetables (they just planted po-tatoes) to provide themselves and the county jail with fresh vegeta-bles through the summer and fall.

THE GARDEN IS fertilized with manure from area barns which the men clean. Sixty pigs are currently owned and raised by the men to serve as a dietary supplement to the ten pounds of hamburger provided by the coun-ty per week. The camp cooperates with neighbors by butchering and processing their chickens, in ex-change for half of them.

As a result of a forestry program at the camp, two county f^arks have been developed in the area. "By developed," Vander-kodde added, "I mean we cleared the forest area, cutting down trees for roadways, and the county came in and graveled the highways and put the picnic tables in."

THE PROGRAMS are, in them-selves, a type of therapy. "The success of this camp has been that when we go out, they go out with us. We (the staff) work right along with them, if we're hauling manure or killing chickens. And they're happy, as long as we're participating," said Vanderkodde.

During the past year, the education program which is aimed at high school equivalency has taken the foreground. Said Van-derkodde, "For the first time in

No 'drastic' cuts

my stay here, we are seeing a definite trend where they want education. Before, we would have had two out of 35 men taking classes. Now, there are so many we are starting to split the class into two sessions."

REGULAR classes meet two days a week, and the automotive vocational program meets five days a week. Both are taught in the school building, which houses classrooms and a shop. The classes are taken on an individual basis. Wherever the student leaves off, the instructor carries on from that point.

Men meet with a counselor three times a week. A drug training program is available. A clergyman is also available during the week. Every Sunday night, various church groups conduct worship services in the chapel. In the past eight years, 12 men have walked away from the Kent County Honor Camp. "Of those 12, all but two turned themselves in within two days," Vander-kodde added.

HE ATTRIBUTES this success to the fact that their mental needs are being cared for. Even though professional counseling is avail-able, he said, "They still come in to the regular staff and say 'Can I see you?' I think this is because we're with them every day. We are the guys that have the authority to say 'O.K., if you're not getting along with your folks and they won't come up here, let's go see them.' And we do. If they have problems, we discuss it."

The men are sent to the Honor Camp directly from the courts, so they will not be exposed to the county prison first. They are given the basic rules upon arrival, then they are allowed to mingle with

the others and gradually are orientated to the camp.

MOST OF THE men comply with the camp lifestyle. "How-ever," said Vanderkodde, "many of them are up here for six to eight months and it gets to be heavy time, because they can't leave at night. They start to pick fights with each other, or get it in for a certain officer, so we take them back to the county where they see the difference between a security institution and the honor camp."

In spite of a follow-up program which includes finding the men jobs, Vanderkodde, feels that the recidivism rate is going up from the 35 percent figure of three years ago, according to a study done by Calvin College. He attributes this to narcotics.

YET, HE insists, "I know they get much more in the line of drugs through the County Jail than they do here. Because, again, it's an honor system, and most of the kids here will say to the guy that's gonna bring it in- 'You're not gonna blow it for us.' "

The men tend to look less at the concept and more at their own- lives. "I don't think I'm going to make it this time," said one curly haired young man doing time on a drug charge. "My little girl will be learning how to walk and talk without me there. My wife probably won't bring her to see me. One of these days I'm going to walk away and take off for Arizona," he declared.

He insisted that, no matter how you look at it, "the Honor Camp is still a jail." Said his friend, who was sitting across the table, "You don't realize how good you have it here, until you've been back to the County."

students, we would lose about six faculty members annually to maintain the student-faculty ratio of 15:1," he observed.

Although Anderson estimated that the faculty would be reduced by five or six members next year. Dean for Academic Affairs Mor-rette Rider was less certain about the exact staff reductions.

RIDER ADMITTED that "we will be down a little," but was unable to give exact figures due to complications in computation of actual staff plus the fact that contracts have not yet been returned.

While Rider stated that the current emphasis was in reducing the part-time faculty, he also talked about the policy of regular faculty cut-backs as a means of combating the economic crunch. "Now, when a faculty member retires or leaves we will certainly take a hard look to see if there is a need for his or her replacement," he explained.

RANKING faculty salaries at Hope to be "in the middle range

Rider discusses staff cuts for liberal arts schools," Rider said that the staff has not suffered any recent cut-back in pay nor have they denied deserved promo-tion for economic considerations. According to Rider, the present faculty can handle 2,300 students, as compared to this year's enroll-ment of 2,105.

Rider also mentioned another possible though "highly unlikely" economic cut-back would be to eliminate certain programs and majors in some departments. He added this was "too drastic a solution for the present situa-tion."

ANDERSON agreed and re-marked, "We are not at the stage of any drastic cut-back in aca-demic programs or activities. De-partmental budgets have increased an over-all 4.9 percent," he continued.

The chemistry, music and thea-ter departments will enjoy in-

creased budgets next year, due to the climbing costs of necessary materials. Anderson added that the Student Appropriations Com-mittee also received an increased budget this year, despite the fact that the activity fee will remain the same next year.

OTHER repercussions of the declining enrollment situation in-clude a reduction in the number of students granted off-campus housing. Anderson explained that it was financially advantageous for the college to fill dormitories "under terms of the government loan."

"If all • the rooms aren't oc-cupied, we still must pay govern-ment interest," he said. Concern-ing rumors that expedient econ-omic measures might result in the phasing out of some off-campus study programs, Anderson replied, "I haven't heard anything about it."

RLC proposes 10 a.m. worship services

Hope College anchor Three

Next semester, students ipay have the option to attend a mid-morning chapel service four days a week.

THE RELIGIOUS Life Com-mittee voted unanimously to request the Campus Life Board to petition the Academic Affairs Board to alter the class schedule to allow for worship and other RLC sponsored activity during the next school year.

The period would be 20 minutes long and scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.

IN THE proposal, the RLC stated they realize that 75 minute classes beginning at 9 a.m. and certain laboratory classes will not be affected by the change.

However, the committee be-lieved that a sizable number of students and faculty will be in, position to choose to attend onr of the worship-study services under consideration.

THE PLAN stated that the 10 a.m. hour "will provide greater flexibility in devising an attrac-tive, helpful daily worship or study program."

The RLC has considered Cal-vin's mid-morning chapel services as a model. In recent years the Calvin chapel format has included a worship service not unlike Hope's 8 a.m. service, an English department chapel, a foreign lan-guage chapel and a charismatic worship experience.

THE RLC suggested the change because of the "obvious success" Df the Holy Week services. It also believes that the mid-morning schedule would increase the num-ber of people available ib provide

leadership and vocal and instru-mental services for the chapel experience.

The committee stated that they regretted the hardship the change in the daily class schedule may have on some students and faculty. But the committee said they were "only attempting to carry out the wishes of the college in a more satisfactory manner at a more convenient time."

Perhaps the most unpopular of the college's degree requirements is the foreign language requirement. Often uncertain about the relevance and long-term value of the * study of foreign languages, many students find their study to be demanding, unrewarding and boring.

THIS COLUMN will defend and support the study of foreign languages as an indispensable element of a complete liberal education. We will consider the "relevance" of the knowledge and use of foreign languages, and also discuss the role of Biblical languages in the understanding and proclamation of the Scriptures.

The pragmatic temper of modern American education has cast a dark shadow over the study of foreign language and literature. It has defined educational relevance to be that which is practically useful in the vocation of students.

THIS NARROW understanding of relevant education restricts the relevance of the study of foreign language to those who by vocation may need skill in other languages: Foreign Service officers, translators and businessmen doing foreign trade, among others. As the pragmatic view of education infiltrates more traditional views of education, foreign languages, especially classical languages, are labelled "irrelevant" for the great majority of high school and college students.

Against this pragmatic demotion of the study of foreign language stands the traditional study of language for its own sake, for the sake of the humanizing effect of great literature, and for the sake of scholarly excellence.

THE STUDY OF foreign language itself offers valuable formal discipline-the study of grammar, rhetoric, logic and the canons of literary greatness-to every student. In the study of foreign language, the mind of the student is informed with the great thought and life of the past and present as it is formed in the ability to think and express itself more clearly and cogently.

Not only does this formal discipline develop the human potential of the student, but it also develops his scholarly attitude and abilities. Proficient

Transfers up 18 percent

knowledge of a foreign language can teach a student to consider an idea or event in its own context, in its own tongue, before any interpretation and application of the idea or event is attempted.

THIS objectivity is necessary to both a proper understanding of the past and to an accurate application of the lessons of the past to our day.

The place of the study of Greek in the education of Christian ministers and priests is eroding quickly. Many of the most prestigious seminaries no longer require Greek or Hebrew'of their students, and there are no indications that this trend will soon be halted.

MANY OFTEN question the wisdom of learning the original language of the New Testament in a day when so many translations and commentaries seem to be closing the gap between the meaning of the Greek of Paul's day and the English of our own time.

Yet the knowledge and use of the original tongue alone can enable you to do the most in-depth and profound study and proclamation of the Scriptures. Without a knowledge of the original, it is difficult to make an accurate study of a given word or idea in the Bible.

ONE CANNOT consult a serious commentary, and a decreased ability to study a text in the light of its context will make the contetaporary application of Scripture more difficult. Neither will a "Greekless" student of Scripture be able to discriminate between the wheat and the chaff of the translations and paraphrases of our day.

Clearly, the knowledge and continual use of the original Greek is the best method of studying, teaching and preaching the meaning of the Gospel in all its clarity and power.

IN SUM, WE who take human, liberal education seriously, we who hold that the best thought of the past can and should be a guide for the present, must demonstrate our concern by taking foreign language and literature seriously.

The teaching and study of foreign languages at its best should be intellectually exciting, academically necessary and humanly relevant.

LaBaugh predicts fresh enrollment equal to 73 by Annetta Miller

The once-dismal admissions picture continues to brighten with the total number of applications received to date running slightly ahead of last year. The increase should bring freshman enrollment to about 515, nearly equal to last year's, according to Director of Admissions, Tom LaBaugh.

AS OF APRIL 12, 998 applica-tions had been received by the admissions department, compared to 984 at this time last year. Of the 998, 872 have been accepted, 19 rejected, with 70 pending, according to an admissions report recently released by LaBaugh.

The main factor in the increase in accepted students was the number of transfer applications received. According to LaBaugh, while the number of freshman applications received is identical to last year's 905, the number of transfer applications was up from 79 to 93, an 18 percent increase.

OF THE decrease in the number of rejections, from 27 to 19, LaBaugh said, "We haven't lowered our standards. The overall quality of applicants is as good as last year, but this year there are more students in .the average category who fit qualifications for admissions."

He added that the average

grade point of appucants is appoximately the same as last year. "SAT scores are a little lower than in previous years but ACT's are a little higher," La Baugh said.

HE CITED a new program, FOCUS, (Fall Opportunity to Continue Upward Scholastic Achievement) as another factor in the decreased number of rejec-tions. According to LaBaugh, FOCUS will be a semester-long version of the STEP program offered in the summer.

Each student admitted to the program would take 13 hours of English, psychology and math courses, in addition to one elec-

Yearbook funds cut

Congress reviews budgets Purse strings were pulled when

the Student Congress reviewed the budget recommendations of stu-dent organizations in its meeting Tuesday. "The budgets were sub-mitted to the Congress by the Student Appropriations Commit-tee.

REPRESENTATIVES from the Opus were present to chal-lenge their proposed budget. Carol Yeckel, this year's Opus editor, said that the Opus "would be killed if it didn't receive more funds in light of increased printing costs."

Congress passed a motion which would provide the Opus with $500 in additional funds. This money will come from the Appropriations Committee's dis-cretionary fund.

WTAS WAS represented by members of its executive board. They felt that they didn't receive enough for postage, salaries and equipment. They were granted $200 more for salaries and $25 for postage from the discretionary

fund. , The anchor asked that it be

granted the money for food which was originally requested and which had been budgeted last year. The $234 would be used for meals by anchor staff members who must take the paper to Grand Rapids for printing. The Congress agreed to allocate the monies out of the discretionary fund.

THE MILESTONE finances were also scrutinized by the Congress. The Milestone budget for printing was set at $12,000, ' nearly one fourth of the $50,000 that was available to student organizations.

Dan Dethmers said, "People that want them should pay for them, we are strapped for funds now and $12,000 is too much for what is received in return."

THEY DISCUSSED the pos-sibility of eliminating the Mil-estone's printing allocation and meeting the costs by raising the Milestone's price.

A motion was passed which

eliminated the printing budget. Students will indicate at registra-tion whether they want a year-book or not.

THEY WILL BE charged for the book in the tuition bills received before each semester. Editor Ed Mackiewicz said that costs might run as high as seven dollars per book.

Congress decided to put $1,000, that would have been used for printing, in the discre-tionary fund. The remaining monies will be used for a speaker series.

THE FINAL budget recom-mendations will go to the Campus Life Board for final approval.

A proposal was passed which calk ,for the Student Appropria-tions Committee to appropriate the funds for the Cultural Affairs Committee, Religious Life Com-mittee, Public Safety and Athletic budgets.

The proposal will be submitted to the Campus Life Board and the Administrative Affairs Board.

tive during the fall probationary period. "This will help students who are unable to participate in the STEP program during the summer because of summer jobs or for other reasons," LaBaugh said.

THE ADMISSIONS report also stated that although more applica-tions had been received from males (459 compared with 446 applications from females), 26 more females have been accepted so far this year.

Although the enrollment of next year's freshman class can be better predicted after May 1, the common coUege reply date. La Baugh said that the approximately six percent increase in the number of paid deposits makes the pros-pects for reaching the projected enrollment look good.

HE CITED THE effective use of admissions material as another factor in increasing enrollment. "I think the series of letters we sent out has had the most positive effects. Also, we had a very good response from the poster we sent out." He added that since all materials are coded, people re-sponding to specific materials can be identified.

To measure the effectiveness of the admissions materials a survey of a random sample of high school seniors receiving the materials will be taken later this spring.

OBJECTIVES for the survey, drawn up in coi\junction with the psychology department, will be to determine the validity of selected admissions materials, the positive and negative effects of selected admissions materials on individual attitudes of both accepted and rejected students, and the effects of Hope's admissions materials in comparison with those of other colleges and universities.

POSSIBLE areas of inquiry in-clude identifying factors such as age, sex, fanodly size, size of high school, academic interest, alumni in family, church affiliation and race.

Other questions will be asked about a student's immediate col-lege considerations such as loca-tion, cost, size, curriculum offer-ings, etc. as well as questions designed to determine what prompted students' interest in Hope. Specific reactions to partic-ular admissions material will be measured.

Richardson, Heerema get research grant

Two professors have been awarded a fellowship research grant by the Earhart Foundation of Ann Arbor to assist them in preparing an introduction to econ-omics as a book primarily for use by the clergy.

The book Ment Markets and Morality will be written by Professor of Economics and Busi-ness Administration Barrie Rich-ardson and Douglas Heerema, associate professor of economics. It will be intended for those who

seek a more systematic way of /

thinking about economic affairs and their relevance to and for the church, according to Dr. Richard-son.

Ci Obviously the church cannpt afford to ignore how man 'earns his daily bread' if it is to continue to perform a relevant function in contemporary American society," said Richardson. "Equally obvious is the need for a better under-standing of how the American economy functions," he noted.

Peculiar situation Vice-President for Student Affairs

Robert DeYoung cast another shad-ow of doom over the fate of self-governance this week.

DeYoung makes the claim that students in living units may not be willing to spend time to regulate their own affairs. He arose at this conclusion because not as many stu-dents utilized parietal hours as they were originally intended. r ' r — N

Such an analogy makes one won-der what DeYoung's real reluctance in accepting self-governance stems from.

We are in a peculiar situation, he claims. We certainly are. We are in a peculiar situation where students overwhelmingly support issues and the administration is all but blind to the support.

We are in a peculiar situation where people tell other people that they need to be led. We are in a peculiar situation where those in power feel the masses will destroy themselves if given the intrinsic right of formulating their own lifestyles with regard to the welfare of the community.

DeYoung repeatedly expressed a fear that the unshackled personality will inevitably crumble.

Yet, no matter how many people

are responsible to things or people, who are in turn responsible to other things or people, eventually there is someone in the chain who had to strike out on his own to get where he is. „ . .

Responsibility itself is yet another question. The lowest man on the totem pole, no matter how many people he is structurally responsible to, is ultimately responsible to him-self. Only he can decide what's best for him; if he doesn't, he is alienating himself from himself.

Apparently from DeYoung's view-point no one is capable of making responsible decisions. If he doesn't think students are irresponsible, then why won't he grant them the same rights and privileges he has? If we all do need "supportive standards," who's to say what standards those will be?

DeYoung seems to be considering only one aspect of the framework of society, that norms are needed to maintain peaceful coexistence. The other side is that there are times when people have to be unrestricted to develop those same norms.

Hope has a great potential for fostering growth of the individual. This potential will never be realized until those in power understand that students deserve and need the right to make their own decisions. Hope-fully the Board of Trustees will realize that the only way an indi-vidual learns responsibility is by ex-ercising it.

Share the wealth The Student Congress, in Tues-

day's meeting, took decisive steps toward realistic allocation of student activities funds.

In substantially reducing i\\e Mile-stone budget, the congress made steps toward a sorely needed speaker series, and toward funding the cam-pus activities that have more imme-diate rewards for students.

By making, the cut, the congress put the primary responsibility for publishing costs of the yearbook on those students who desire to pur-chase them.

A series of well-known and stim-ulating speakers would serve a great-er need for the campus, we think.

However, if student opinion demonstrates that the Milestone should be funded out of the student activity fee, we would support rein-

stating the money cut from the yearbook's budget.

Student Congress also made steps toward putting the total student activities fee in the hands of stu-dents. The Student Appropriations Committee controls less than one-third of the activities fee paid by the students.

In bringing the budgets of the Cultural Affairs Committee, the ath-letic department, and the public safety department under the control of the appropriations committee, student funds may be channeled into areas where students feel they are most greatly needed.

The responsible and carefully con-sidered actions of Student Congress and the Student Appropriations Committee have demonstrated that students deserve control over the entire student activities fee.

01974, The

WASHINGTON-A#White House spokes-man said last week tllat President Nixon's decision to pay almost a half-million dollars in back taxes has'"almost totally wiped out" Mr. Nixon financially.

IF THIS IS true, the President may have to make some dramatic changes in his lifestyle. These are the kind of stories we may be reading about Mr. Nixon in the next three years.

WASHINGTON-President Nixon gave a state dinner last night for Queen Elizabeth II at McDonald's in Chevy Chase, Md. The President explained to the queen and Prince Philip that the White House was being redecorated and McDonald's was the only place he could rent on such short notice.

ENTERTAINMENT FOR the evening was provided by Henry Mancini, Burt Bacharach, Peggy Lee, Glen Campbell and Johnny Cash records on a jukebox which was loaned to the President for the evening.

Each guest was served one Big Mac and a bag of French fried potatoes. After dinner the President toasted the queen in Welch's grape juice and presented her with a yo-yo which was given to him by the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tenn.

MRS. NIXON SAID she was looking forward to the dinner the British ambas-sador was giving the royal family on the following evening at the British Embassy, as she was still hungry.

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif.-President Nix-on arrived here today on a Greyhound bus from Washington for the weekend. The trip took five days, and the President looked a little tired as he got off at the bus station in Laguna Beach. A press spokesman angrily denied that Mr. Nixon tried to get his daughters, Tricia and Julie, on the bus for half-fare.

Los Angeles Times Syndicate THE SPOKESMAN said: "The President

had been advised by his lawyers that if he traveled by bus he was entitled to a family plan discount. When he was informed that this did not apply on weekends, he asked a joint congressional committee on bus travel to look into the matter. Mr. Nixon said if he was wrong he would pay Tricia and Julie's full fare."

• • • WASHINGTON-The White House an-

nounced today that President Nixon would be going to Moscow next month for a summit meeting with Leonid Brezhnev. The President will be traveling on a charter flight with 175 barbers and their wives from Miami, Fla.

THE TRIP WILL cost $325, which includes hotel accommodations in the Soviet Union as well as continental breakfast. Because the package insists on double accommodations, the President will share a room with Henry Kissinger.

Mr. Nixon has been personally assured by Mr. Brezhnev that all gratuities as well as transportation to and from the airport are included in the price of the package.

• • • W ASHINGT ON - Ronald Ziegler, the

President's press secretary, announced the Nixons would hold a garage sale at the White House next Sunday.

BESIDES presidential papers and old tapes, the Nixons are offering other items of interest, including a cloth coat, a 16-millimeter print of "Patton," an auto-graphed football of the Miami Dolphins, three copies of Six Crises and several costumes left over from Tricia's masked ball. - - - " • ^ „

The press secretary said that all items would be sold for cash, and all sales were final. Mr. Ziegler urged every American to attend this unique event which he said may never be held by an American President again-. There will be a $ 1 parking charge on the Mall.

Last week's anchor editorial suggested that since "student opinion on the effectiveness of professors is only heard at the departmental l eve l . . . there should be student representatives on the Status Committee." /

Although a few department chairmen do present evidence of student opinion to

cfesur (gdltor the* Status Committee, you are quite right that most do not. (Some do not even use it themselves.) This becomes a problem when other, possibly less valid, indicators of teaching excellence are then relied upon or when,- lacking discriminating evidence, the committee relies mostly upon other dimen-sions (e.g. research) where evaluation is possible. But the goal of increasing student input will not be best achieved by appointing one or two token students to the committee. Much more extensive

student opinion needs to be heard. This could be achieved by creating a

college policy calling for student evalua-tions of faculty-at the end of courses and at the end of one's college experience-and by insuring that a summary of this evidence is made available to decision makers.

This evidence should, of course, be just one component of the total evaluation of a faculty member. The intellectual integrity of his teaching must be professionally assessed along with his "scholarly/profes-sional activity and extra-curricular contri-butions to students and to the campus.

The editorial also suggested that the tenure system may act to reduce the sense of academic freedom among nontenured faculty. I recognize this as a real possibility. However, reflecting back on more than 50 hours of meetings this spring I cannot recall an instance where any faculty member's exercise of academic and religious freedom was even questioned, much less punished.

'Salty Dog'days return in Procol Harum LP This week's anchor review is written by Rodney C. Murray. He reviews Procol Harum's latest release, Exot/c Birds and Fruit

With the releases of Procol Harum's new L.P., Exotic Birds and Fruit, the group has finally returned to their Salty Dog days.

EVER SINCE organist Mat-thew Fisher left, so did the groups main musical force. Chris Copping replaced Fisher for the remainder of the albums, and until now, played a very uninspired and slug-gish organ. Here however, his play is truly motivated and produces a full and swirling sound. The L.P/s since Fisher left were dominated by piano and guitar, but Copping equals their outputs on this disc. Once again, we hear the trade-mark of Procol Harum's music.

Copping isn't totally responsi-ble for his outstanding musician-ship. Gary Brooker, the group's leader, vocalist, pianist and writer of all the music, has now been able to compose music for each member of the band placing no special emphasis on a particular instrument.

BROOKER, the writer of many varieties of music, is so ecclectic on this album (much like

the songs on the beloved Salty Dog) that it is impossible to pick out an underlying theme. The point of not having one particular theme adds to Procol's better-ment. If we look at "Home" or "Broken Barricades," for ex-ample, we see the ideas of death and bleakness penetrating each long.

Exotic Birds and Fruit contains three Class A rockers, the opening cut "Nothing But the Truth," (possible *45- material) and two tunes on the flip-side, "Monsieur R. Monde" and "Butterfly Boys." "Boys," the rockingest song they ever made is one of the few, if not the only tune Harum does where the group leaves the Brooker disiplined format of music and jams.

Theater dept. making plans for summer

by Sally Mouw The theater department will

perform three plays this summer. The Music Man, a musical by Meredith Wilson will open on July 19. William Shakespfearc's com-edy, A Midsummer Nights Dream will play July 26. Finally, opening on August 9, A Man For All Seasons, by Robert Bolt will be performed.

THESE THREE plays encom-pass a wide scope of theater works, comedy, drama and music included. They will be performed in repertory, which alternates different plays each night. By the middle of August, three different works will be performed on three consecutive nights. This will con-tinue through the end of August, which will enable Hope's return-ing students to enjoy all three works.

John Tammi, assistant profes-sor of theater, said that the repertory summer program offers many advantages. The theater learning process becomes much

more interesting and challenging because actors and actresses must be able to keep three plays alive. This offers a fresh change to the typical summer stock theater where a work plays for a week, followed by another weekly play, each week through the summer.

THE AUDIENCE also greatly benefits from a repertory system. A good actor can be watched in diverse roles from night to night. "The audience can become more involved," commented Tammi.

According to Tammi, finances should not be a problem. He expects admission to cover costs. "If one half of our tickets sell," Tammi said, "we will more than break even."

For those interested, campus auditions will be held this Satur-day. Tickets will soon be on sale fof $3 and $3.50 for Music Man. Season tickets can be purchased at $8.50 for non-students and $7.50 for students. A special $2 student rate will be available for last minute seats.

MICK G R A B H A M plays his best guitar work since Robin Trower left the group to strike out on his own. (Listen closely to his solos on 'The Idol" and „butterfly Boys.") Alan Cart-wright, bassist, is • a definite improvement over David Knights who left the group with Fisher.

Brooker's voice, not actually aesthetically pleasing, yet quite captivating, sounds explicitly dif-ferent in each tune. And, of

.course, his piano ability is unsur-passible in rock today. (That includes Emerson and Wakeman). Churchy, funky, bluesy, whatever you want to hear, he plays on this album.

THE ONLY musical disap-pointment is drummer B.J. Wil-son. Along with Brooker and lyricist Keith Reid, Wilson is the only original member of Procol Harum's Whiter Shade of Pale days.

He forced the ear to listen to his drumming-he wasn't just another drummer-that was not overpowering but was the most creative in rock. His embellish-ments and complex backgrounds filled each little hole in the music . . . until now. The flashes still exist, but are fewer in number. But, even though Wilson hasn't improved, he is still a cut above most drummers.

NOW, FOR MR. RED). If you've listened to P.H. just once in your life, you know that he is one of the great poets of our time. His words are religious, deadly, comic and hyperconscious-sometimes all rolled into one song. He is, no doubt, the master of the compact line.

Although Keith does not play an instruinent and rarely appears with the group in concert, he is nevertheless an integral factor fox the group.

BROOKER IS able to capture the mood and impact of the words and translate them into music most tastefully, ala "Fresh Fruit" and "The I d o l "

Keith's only hang-up is that all his words rhyme. I'd like to see Keith's work with free verse sometime.

ANOTHER KEY improve-ment-there is not, with one short exception, any orchestration. The "Live" L.P. possessed good tunes.

but the horns and strings domi-nated throughout. Brooker, who incidently scored for the orches-tra, realized this and abandoned symphonic stuff to let the band exert itself more.

Producer Chris Thomas and engineer John "Polly" Punter,, are superb on their business and have been with P.H. so long that by now they know exactly how to record P.H.9! sound.

IT S E E M S THAT everyone involved with this album has nearly reached perfection in per-. formance ability and quality of the music-which is almost a sad note. With an album this tightly knit and stimulating, PkmJoI Har-um can't go much farther-the end of the group could be near.

But for the present let me add, that even if you dislike Procol Harum, buy this album anyway. The cover looks as good as the title sound and can be framed very inexpensively, I'm sure.

Hope receives grant for Chicano Institute

Hope has received a grant to host a Chicano Mobile Institute on campus April 28 and 29, 1974. "Latinos and Education: Hopes and Realities" is the theme of the conference.

The purpose of the two day conference is to initiate a dialogue between the college and the Latino Community. The confer-ence features addresses by Dr. Saloman F lores of Chicago State University and Dr. Julian Samora of Notre Dame University.

Discussion sessions on Sunday afternoon will focus on various aspects of bilingual - bicultural

education, while evening sessions will discuss issues related to post-secondary education for Lat-inos. Admission and financial aid, curriculum and academic matters, campus life and administrative policies are the topics of these sessions.

Monday afternoon the Admis-sion and Financial Aid Commit-tee, and the Academic Affairs, Administrative Affairs and Cam-pus Life Boards will convene with representatives of the Latino cpm-munity and institute resource people to discuss how the college can serve the Latino community.

Next year? By Paul Boddy

G.R. women's center meeting here Thurs.

The Women's Resource Center of Grand Rapids will hold a meeting to explain its purposes next Thursday at 7:30 p.m. in Winants auditorium of Graves Hall.

John Blaich, center director, sees the project as a "catalyst for all women" because it provides information and guidance in every area that affects women. Counsel-ing services are provided along

with vocational and aptitude test-ing.

The center has information on all western Michigan resources so that women can be helped by center personnel or referred to the agency which can best serve her needs.

The meeting will be conducted by Ruth Van Kampen, instructor in sociology, who serves as Hope's representative for the center.

. Hope seniors become depressed after constantly answering the question, "What are you going to do next year?" I'm tired of admitting, "I hope to be rewriting classified ads for a minor rural weekly."

A FRIEND whose future is as unpromising as mine lies to make himself feel better: "I plan to earn $80,000 a year as a junior executive for a growing national firm."

Most Hope seniors insult their questioner by being rudely facetious, "I want to eat, sleep and do a little breathing on the side," or blunt, "Mind your own business." x .

RUMOR HAS IT that the real world is crueler and harder than ever before, and that it is turning its cold shoulder to liberal artists. One hapless history major even asked the career counseling service about becoming a professional welfare recipient.

English professor Stephen Hemenway has written a new book which explains the failure of his first two books on Indian novels. The book is entitled The Importance of Being Ernest.

LACROSSE WAS invented by the Zero Popula-tion Growth people.

Hope's campus security force is semi-effective and will need $29,000 to remain so next year. I say fire the entire force, give R.A.'s the power to deputize people in the event something is stolen and use' the $29,000 for rewards to attract, bounty hunters.

INCIDENTLY, the Department of Public Safety is semi-effective partly because of an inadequate communications system. Messages from their walkie must go through the Hope operator, the Holland Police Department and a telegraph operator in Drenthe before reaching their talkie. If an atom bomb landed on the Kletz it would be a half hour before an officer in the science building knew about it.

A delinquent who owns a 1971 Mustang with Goodrich steel belted radial tires has been reserving parking places for himself by breaking Coke bottles in Siberia.

Curry considers Congress

EARL CURRY

College Band will give final concert tonight

The College Band under the direction of Associate Professor of Music Robert Cecil, will present its final concert of the year tonight at 7:30 in the main theater of the DeWitt Cultural Center.

The band will present a varied program, with the first selection a recent work for band composed by the American composer How-ard Hanson. Dies Natalis is the Latin name for the chorale-tune known in the Lutheran Church as "How Brightly Shines the Morn-ing Star."

The descriptive work entitled La Fiesta Mexicana by H. Owen Reed will also be performed tonight. It is the composer's attempt to portray musically a fiesta. The first movement of the composition depicts an Aztec dance, the second a religious celebration, and the third repre-sents a carnival.

There will also be a per-formance of a medley of Beatle songs entitled Lennon-McCartney Portrait, including Day Tripper and Hey Jude. The program will conclude with John Philip Sousa's Liberty Bell.

by Tim Mulder

Dr. Earl Curry, associate pro-fessor of history, is undertaking a task which in the eyes of many politicians would put him along side of Don Quixote de la Mancha and the Impossible Dream.

CURRY IS testing the political waters in hopes of running for the Democratic Party's nomination to run against incumbent congress-man of four terms Guy Vander Jagt (Republican-9th District) in the general elections which will take place this November.

The party primary will be August 6 and Curry views the time preceding it as very impor-tant for familiarizing the elec-torate with his name, not only with Democrats, but with the Republicans and independents as well.

HE ALSO PLANS to use the primary to build a serviceable and efficient campaign staff. In talking about the staff he said, "I want to avoid using students and faculty simply because I'm on the faculty here. I want them to know that they're under no obligation because of it, but I do hope to get students and faculty to come forward to volunteer."

"We have already talked to a few students to do speech writing, advance work, leg work, etc., and four faculty members have al-ready offered their assistance. I think students will want to contribute whatever they have the time to do."

COLLEGE professors are not known to be the wealthiest members of our society; so concerning campaign financing Curry stated, "I have no money of my own to run a campaign and the party can not give money to a candidate before the primary, so all money up to that date must come from individual contribu-tions."

• Curry added that he'll be seeking support through three tactics. "One is through brochures to educate the people on my

After Watergate

views of the issues. Another is through mass media: television, radio, newspapers, buttons, bump-er stickers, etc. The third is through fund-raising occasions, bringing in a speaker of note which will interest the people in this district," Curry said.

A CAMPAIGN IN an area such as this where there is a very high concentration of traditional Re-publicans will involve not only a great deal of money but also of time and effort. Curry stated that he would, nonetheless, remain at Hope next fall and continue in his teaching capacity.

"It's the only thing I could do," he remarked, "because I wanted to take a leave of absence in the fall. But the only way I could do that would be to find someone who would give me a phony job to pay my living expenses and that would be bad for me and it would be bad for politics," he explained.

CURRY said that is "the kind of thing we're trying to get away from as it is the very thing "Watergate represents."

In light of the recent Demo-cratic victories in Grand Rapids and Cincinnati, and the general public uproar over Watergate, Curry was asked if he planned to make Watergate an issue and how much of an effect he thought it would have in this district.

"AS A DEMOCRAT I took heart in the victories in Grand Rapids and Cincinnati," he de-clared, "but that is not what will influence me if I decide to run. We've been talking about this election since last October. Be-sides, the problem here with the Republican party is greater than it was in the 5 th District in Grand Rapids or in Cincinnati," he added.

King film to be shown

The film King-A Filmed Rec-ord . .. Montgomery to Memphis, a documentary by Ely Landau, will oe shown Wednesday at 7 p.m. in the main theater of the DeWitt Cultural Center. The film is jointly sponsored by the politi-cal science, psychology, religion, and sociology departments and the chaplain's office.

Curry said that he believed the impact Watergate will have in November cannot be accurately determined. "There is the possibil-ity that Nixon may not even be in office in November. Watergate is an issue; I don't have to make it one."

HE CRITICIZED VanderJagt for remaining "a loof from Water-gate. "He has not taken any position on it except to say that as a member of the House of Representatives who may have to sit on an impeachment probe he cannot make any public com-ment, which seems to me a way to

. weasel out."

In Curry's eyes the issues aren't Watergate, but rather "are econ-omic ones; inflation, unemploy-ment, taxation, etc. These are issues on which I believe Vander Jagt is vulnerable and vulnerable with the very people who are the staunchest supporters of the Re-publican party—the small busi-nessman."

CURRY REALIZES Holland is essentially Republican, but also believes that can be changed. "The way you break through the emotional attachment so many people in this district have to-wards the Republican party is to educate them to the fact that they are being short-changed by their representatives in Congress."

Despite the enormous obstacle which lies ahead of him Curry seemed hopeful and confident when asked if he thought tie had a good chance to win in November.

He said, "I'm not going out there with the idea that this is going to be a lark, but that there will be a lot of hard work involved and it will be an uphill battle, but we're going to have fun doing it."

THE FOUR SEASONS

... for all your Gifts!

DOWNTOWN HOLLAND

Ladies and gentlemen: I present to you the unimaginable: there WILL be politics After Watergate (A.W.). I prophesy (brace yourself) that there will actually come a day when Walter Cronkite's subtle suggestions that the President is a crook will be silenced, and that any journalist who finds it cute to sass the President at press conferences will be relegated to writing obituaries.

POLITICS "A.W." will have election campaigns in which the issues affecting the voters are debated by the candidates, rather than elections which are decided on the grounds of which candidate can better defend-or persecute-the President of the United States.

We have had quite a few such elections recently, and when the voters realize that the products are better vultures than legislators, the exodus from Congress will not go unobserved.

FOR THE PEOPLE always elect the representa-tives they deserve, and when they realize they deserve more, a higher caliber of elected officials will occupy Washington. Rather simplistic, of course, but a reality which defeated incumbents of both parties have etched on their brains.

The political atmosphere A.W. will be unique. Even if loopholes in law exist, the affluent will attempt to buy their way into elected officialdom at their own peril, coping with the specter of public condemnation if the press gets the hint.

FURTHERMORE, no candidate or official will be the creature of big labor or big business through dependency on these forces for campaign funds. Is it not awe-inspiring that soon our representatives may actually vote their own ideas and ideals rather than those of campaign contributors?

A.W. politics will find this the common practice, not the glorious exception; certainly, the public judgment of politicians as influence-peddlers will be swift and decisive.

THERE MIGHT even be significant changes in the whole rationale behind A.W. politics and

government. In the past, high government officials have viewed the average American as a thing to be maintained and manipulated, something which does not really know what is best for it and therefore needs "tactful" guidance.

If this assumption ever had validity, it has no more. Americans today are the best educated, most sophisticated, vital and prosperous people of all the world and for all time. The stereotype of the „common man" and the "silent majority," sup-posedly those individuals who are dull and apathetic enough to allow mammoth government to suck them into its schemes, is no longer seriously considered.

MOST AMERICANS know well the proper place of government m their lives, and it is not as substantial as the Potomac Bureaucrat would have us believe.

The successful A.W. elected official will recog-nize these facts and act on them in a forthright manner. He will seize every opportunity to restrain government wherever its influence has been spurious. This includes ending government subsidies to private business, consequences of which have been assorted scandals involving milk producers, oil companies, etc.

OF COURSE, A.W. politics will not be absent of original sin. That is why there have been scoundrels in politics and will always be. This is assured, however: in the A.W. political climate they will be forced to stay in the foxholes, a place where any politician finds hard to remain and still practice his profession.

This profile of A.W. politics is hopefully not too much to be desired for a country predicated on and sustained by the noblest principles of Western thought and the Judeo-Christian heritage.

I am left with only one question I find impossible to answer. Can A.W. politics be a reality with Richard Nixon as President? I honestly do not know. And I believe a prediction at this time would be presumptuous.

Freedom and faith—alumnus develops community by Tom O'Brien and Paul Timmer

The story of twentieth century man could well be the story of man searching for meaning in a world that threatens an individ-ual's influence over his own life.

THERE A R E many courses in such a world for the individual to take. One is to disregard ultimate concerns of truth and justice, thinking that such struggles are useless, for the sake of tonight's second six pack or Monday's big softball game. v Another option is the road that Hope alumnus Gleiin Pontier has chosen to follow.

Pontier said in an interview Wednesday, "The idea of 'com-munity' is to begin to work with small groups of people who are interested in building a base that will enable us to really challenge the course of this country."

WITHIN SIX weeks after serv-ing a one-year prison term for resistance to the draft and the Vietnam War, he began working with friends to find viable ways to realize these goals.

The 1968 graduate has since been actively involved in a com-munity in central New Jersey whose goal is " to help each indi-vidual seek liberation and free-dom. In a religious context it would be called salvation," Pon-tier said.

PONTIER WAS ON campus this week, in a visit sponsored by the Social Ministries area of the Ministry of Christ's People, to talk about the prison system, and the Christian community and alter-native lifestyles with members of the Hope community.

His experience in these areas began while he was a senior at Hope. During the height of the Vietnam War, the history major petitioned his New Jersey draft

Senior recitals

scheduled

for Tuesday Organist Linda Bush and flutist

Sandra Zoodsma will present their senior recital Tuesday at 8:15 p.m. in Dimnent Memorial Cha-pel.

In 1972, Bush studied in Vienna, Austria with Peter Plan-yavsky, whose work Toccata alia Rumba is included in her pro-gram. Works by Bach and Franck will also be included in the performance. She will play the gallery and chancel organs.

Included in Zoodsma's pro-gram are works of baroque and contemporary periods. She will be assisted by Mary Jane Smits, Alfred Fedak, Jane VandenBerg, Patricia Dwyer, Nancy Mangun and Stephen Eliason.

The program is open to the public free of charge.

bdard for a conscientious objector exemption from service.

UPON graduation, Pontier en-tered New Brunswick Theological Seminary. During his first year there, the draft board asked him if he would engage in an alternative form of service. He refused. "It was not that I just didn't want to serve people; my intention was not to serve a system that sends people into war," he explained.

In 1971, Pontier was arrested and placed on bond, and in the spring of 1972 he was convicted of violating the selective service acts. According to Pontier, the judge involved said it was the most difficult case he ever had to consider.

WITH THE possibility of ob-taining a maximum five year sen-tence, Pontier was sent to the medium security federal peniten-tiary in Danbury, Conn.

"It has always been my inten-tion not to break or follow the law; it has always been to lead a fair and just life. I don't always do that, I make mistakes, but that is my intention," he said.

IT WAS IN prison where the idea of community living was first seriously considered by Pontier, as it was in prison where the concept became necessary for the mental and spiritual well-being of in-mates. He recounted, "We had developed a community inside the prison which was a very support-ive group."

Sometimes the group would confront the administrators over prison conditions, but most of the time the issue was the war. One of these non-violent clashes was a 31-day water fast by ,11 inmates protesting the atrocities of the Vietnam War. "Veiy stressful sit-uations and potentially risky ones tend to strip so many of the lies-you have to react as you really are," he said. Pontier re-marked that his present involve-ment with the idea of community developed directly his experience with community in Danbury.

PRESENTLY, Pontier is living in a house in Sommerville, N.J. with his wife and two other people. Their household is part of a larger community called "com-munity development," eight of whose members live in a house in Newton, N.J., while other mem-bers of the community choose to live more independently.

The entire group has been meeting once a week since March, 1973. The idea of establishing the community was to try to "search out the individuals' roots in order to find the source of faith and truth, and to share this through reaching out to other people," said Pontier. He observed that the. question is one of determining how to structure that into your life.

"YOU DON'T DO it neces-sarily through the nuclear family, through a consuming society, or a 40-hour a week job," he declared.

"It gets done when a group of people together ask how it's done and are willing to experiment to change their lives on the basis of those answers."

Although . the community serves as positive reinforcement for people who are committed to changing the course of American society, there is another goal that the community seeks-truth. "Truth doesn't easily collect when you struggle to find it. And if one does act on the answers he has found,, the pressure can come down really hard to the point where they're throwing you in jail, forcing you to lose your job or college loan, or shooting you," Pontier stated.

"THE BEST organizing manual for the idea of community devel-opment is probably the Book of Acts," he continued. "The book talks about groups of people who got together and asked 'How do we find salvation?' and 4How do we find liberation?' They formed

little churches-communities-and then began to experiment," Pon-tier noted.

The four members of Pontier's household rent a large nine-room house on five acres of land. To help pay the $275 a month rent, he works as a florist delivery service driver. He and his wife have agreed that in order to avoid paying taxes toward the defense budget, that they would attempt to keep their income below the poverty level.

PONTIER COMPARED the tactics of the Internal Revenue Service to those of the Symbi-onese Liberation Army. "The ac-tivities of the IRS knocking on your door to collect taxes under threat of force is actually the same as the SLA forcefully asking for money," he asserted.

He acknowledged that not everyone should feel obligated to go to jail as an expression of their dissatisfaction with the poli-cy of our government. "Everyone is obligated to take such a level of seriousness in terms of the re-sponse to oppression," he said. "YOUTC never seeing the world as it really exists unless your vision includes the view held by those who are suffering the most." As an example of alternative action he talked about the needs of the thousands of orphans in Vietnam that were fathered by American children. "One could adopt such a child," he stated.

PONTIER REFLECTED on his undergraduate experience at Hope. "I really think Hope Col-lege served me well. I have a good liberal arts background as I took courses I didn't like, but I got a perspective," he said, "I think I'm a product of this school-I believe people are good and that we all have to have a sense of faith," he continued.

"I'm optimistic about the fu-ture of this country because peo-ple have the potential to be good, creative, and loving, he com-mented. The biggest problem with America is mediocrity-that things are 'normal' and that rou-tines ought to become the way. We must not submit to injustice and allow ourselves to be living dead. The worst thing a person can do is submit to a tyrant," Pontier said.

Wildgen wins three April 19,1974

Albion falls to Dutch 93-52

ARGH!-Bob Lees puts every muscle behind his throw in Hope's dual meet with Albion. Hope won the meet 93-52, and Lees went on to take a second in the javelin.

by Chris Liggett

Strong performances by the distance runners and in the field events brought a win to the Dutch as they beat the Albion Britons 93-52 in the first home dual meet of the year. Eleven first places aided the thinclads as they bounced back from two consecu-tive losses to Alma and Val-paraiso.

HOPE STARTED the meet by taking every first place but one, the discus, in the field events. Jim Wildgen led all other competitors as he grabbed three firsts in the pole vault, high and triple jump, Wildgen jujpped 13 in the pole vauj[t, 4 1 7 in the triple jump and 6 2 in the high jump.

Steve DeYoung attempted to match Wildgen as he won the two events he was entered in. De Younfj took the shot with a throw of 44 6 and matched tljat first place with a toss of 166 in the javelin. Bob Lees followed De Young in second with a throw of 150 10 .

BRUCE GROENDYKE and Gus Lukow took second and third respectively in the shot. Lukow

teamed with second place finisher Tom Staal to run 2-3 in the discus. Roi) £rown won the long jump at 20 4 and took second in the triple jump.

After finding their strengths in the field events, Hope rapidly discovered the few weaknesses that the team has. There was an abundance of seconds and thirds in the sprints as the team lacks the speeders to take a first. Don Smit was the leading sprinter as he received seconds in the 100 and 220 yard dashes. Tom Pierson and Bud Kopp took 2-3 in the 440 yard dash.

THE DISTANCE runs were a different story. Glenn Powers was first in the 880 with a 2:01, while Stu Scholl took firsts in both the

one and two mile runs. Pete Maasen found himself in

third place in the high hurdles and joined Rick Martinus, who took second, in the intermediates for a total of second and third places

TIMES OF 44.6 and 3:33.9 brought Hope the blue ribbon in both the mile and 440 relays. Jeff Pett, Dave Teater, Kurt Richard-son and Smit beat the Britons across the finish line in the 440. Kopp, Pierson, A1 Atkinson and Smit each ran their quarter fast enough to win the mile relay.

Coach Gordon Brewer will lead his club to the QLCA meet at DePauw this weekend. The next home meet will be against both Kalamazoo and Adrian on April 27 at 1:30.

Lacrosse team wins first over Albion; 5-4

Cross-check

Contrary to popular and historical beliefs, lacrosse is not an event that evolved from American Indian war games between tribes. In actuality, some sadistic maniac, after a weekend of football, soccer and hockey went home and devised a game which involves a football player sans pads, running down the field like a soccer player, cross-checking and high-sticking like a hockey player.

FOR THOSE WHO missed the first exhibition of lacrosse at Hope, you missed what has to be one of the most exciting games ever played on an athletic field here. The game resembles hockey, with the body contact that football fans have become accustomed to. The play is fast and furious, with hitting that one is not used to viewing other than on the gridiron.

At first sight, one cringes at the contact that goes on during the game. The only equipment the player wears is a miniscule helmet, elbow pads and gloves. Each player is carrying a large stick which is used to gently jar the ball out of the opponent's possession.

THERE WAS A good crowd at the game, considering the lack of publicity the event received. But the throng increased rapidly as those who had gone to see the track meet became curious as to what was causing the commotion across the stream. Those who came, stayed.

Awe may be the only word that aptly describes the game. The finesse involved in dodging an opponent, the speed, and the contact quickly built an admiration for those who were on the team.

BOB KLEIN, who acts as a player-coach, commented that he was "super happy" that the team won their first home match, but still had some reservations about the team. "We have to make our stick ^handling better. But our defense was great. They (Albion) only earned one of their goals; we gave them the other three."

Klein hopes to see a smoother offense tomorrow when they meet Albion at their home field. If all goes right, the offensive plays should be run better, and the play of the defense will stay the same as it

by Chris Liggett

was this week. If all goes right, Hope should be able to make it two wins in a row.

ON APRIL 30, Hope will host Notre Dame for a home match. While at the game, there are three players to pay close attention to. Klein and Chuck Brooks constitute a major part of the offensive attack. And for fhose who want to see a cross-checkirtg football player, keep your eyes on Ken Melton, number 50.

Hope equalled their win record from last year's baseball season by splitting a doubleheader with Calvin last Saturday. Dan Van Pemis pitched a three hitter for the win, while Randy Wolthuis from Calvin pitched a four hitter, and struck out 14 Hope batters enroute to chalking up a win in the second game.

STATISTICALLY Hope is getting killed by their opponents. Batting averages for the total opponent teams played is. a .310, while Hope has managed only a .258. Hope has given up 71 earned runs, opposed to 33 from their rivals. The earned run average for the Hope pitching corps is 6.33 while the other bullpen has an ERA of 2.80.

Tony Terraciano, Bob Lamer and Pat Welch have all been hitting the ball consistently, but the rest of the team is never sure of getting that important hit.

INTRAMURAL softball, both slow and fast pitch, is currently going strong with 22 teams entered. Sorority softball teams are practicing with their goals- set on winning that big game the afternoon of May Day.

May Day approacheth quickly, so even if you did run a quarter mile in last year's big race, this does not mean that you are in shape for this year's gala invitational. If you want to be ready, run at least one more quarter, and a 220 before the big day!

by Jon Soderstrom

Lacrosse has made a strong entry onto the sports scene at Hope. After a slow and shaky start, the Hope club came on strong to claim a 5-4 victory over Albion, their first win in three outings.

HOPE SHOWED their relative inexperience in the first quarter as most of the action centered around the Hope goal. Offensive-ly, Hope's passing was in need of refinement, but a strong showing by the defense, led by Ken Melton, held Albion from scoring until late in the first period, when Hope was a man short, following a penalty.

Hope's performance improved quickly in the second period, scoring after a pile-up in front of the Albion goal with only a minute gone. Albion came right back with a goal from midfield which got by eoalie A1 Heneveld.

PLAY THEN began to move up and down the field in rapid succession until Hope scored two quick goals at the end of the quarter. The first of these two showed some flashes of excellence as Chuck Brooks made a quick pass to Bob Klein who put it in

from the front of the goal. Klein came right back with another goal a minute later.

Hope's improved play con-tinued after the half-time inter-mission. Although Albion gar-nered another goal. Brooks came down the field by himself and sent the ball past the Albion goaltender. Albion came back to tie the score at 4-4 before John Clough scored the winner from 20 feet out at the end of the third period.

A FINAL chance to add to the lead was missed as time ended. Although the fourth quarter was played without any score, the action remained furious with both teams missing numerous scoring opportunities.

Although player-coach Bob Klein was slightly disappointed in the overall performances of both clubs, lacrosse represents a wel-come addition to the relative boredom of the spring sports program. The continual action becomes very unpredictable, spiced by intense hitting on the players' part.

Hope plays Albion there this Saturday, and the next home encounter will be with Notre Dame Tuesday, April 30.

Baseball team splits doubleheader; 6-2, 4-0

Hope split a doubleheader with Calvin Saturday by winning 6-2, and dropping a 4-0 shutout to the Knights. Hope now stands 1-3 in league play.

Dan Van Pemis picked up the win for the Dutch as he threw a three-hitter against Calvin. Tony Terraciano was the star at the plate as he went four for four with the bat. Terraciano currently leads the Hope batters with a .386 average at the plate.

Pat Welch and Jeff Waterstone each connected for two hits apiece to add to up the attack.

The baseball team had not returned from their doubleheader with Albion at press time, so scores were unavailable. The Dutch will return for a four game home stint against Aquinas and Ferris State this weekend. The game Friday will start at 2 p.m., while the Saturday exhibition will start at 1 p.m.
