SCC approves Beran plan, refers it to CLB Volume 86-15 Hope College, Holland, Michigan 49423 February 1,1974 by Robert M. Kruse The Student Conduct Commit- tee completed its review of Jim Beran's residence hall self-govern- ance proposal in its meeting last Tuesday. All members of the com- mittee were present with the ex- ception of Associate Professor of Mathematics John Vanlwaarden. THE PROPOSAL will be sub- mitted to the Campus Life Board as soon as the final version that the SCC approved is written up. It would give living units the right to submit a proposal which would enable them to establish their own rules and regulations during the 1974-75 academic year. Under the plan passed by the committee, the proposal sub- mitted by the living unit would be given to the CLB for approval with provisions for representative government, regulations consis- tent with local, state and federal VanWylen considers changes Administrative structure discussed by Paul Timmer President Gordon VanWylen talked about possible changes in executive administrative structure, reorganization of the academic affairs office, and the search for a new academic affairs chief, in an interview last Wednesday. WITH REGARD to the naming of Robert DeYoung to the posi- tion of vice president for student affairs, VanWylen affirmed his previous statements that he is "anxious for people who have major responsibilities to have their titles consistent with those used by other academic institutions." He further explained that "the title of vice president is appropri- ate for second level administra- tors-those who report directly to the President." VANWYLEN SAID there may be additional changes of admin- istrative titles in the future, but he declined to be more specific con- cerning exactly what people would be involved or what these new titles will be. He is seriously considering re- structuring the administration to include vice presidents for certain responsibilities within the college. "I could see it happening here," the President said. HE ADDED THAT with De Young as interim director of de- velopment and vice president for student affairs, "we can integrate the admissions program, the devel- opment program, as well as alum- ni and church relations. Potential places for talking to college-bound students are often potential places for development funds." VanWylen explained that ex- amples of such areas are churches and alumni with high school age children. IN THE WAKE of the resigna- tion of Dean for Academic Affairs Morrette Rider, the President's Advisory Committee is studying possible reorganization of the aca- demic affairs office. The committee consists of VanWylen, Associate Professor of Theater George Ralph, Associate Professor of Psychology Dr. David Myers, Dr. Sheldon Wettack, pro- fessor of chemistry, Dr. James Bultman, associate professor of education, and Professor of Reli- gion Dr. Elton Bruins. VANWYLEN NOTED that the men on the committee were cho- sen from a list elected by the faculty. He said that the committee is considering several reorganization alternatives in the academic affairs office. "Different people in the college have suggested three aca- demic divisions, some have pro- posed four, and others have sug- gested establishing five academic divisions," the President reported. "WE DONT want a cumber- some structure, but instead want to keep it dynamic and innova- tive," VanWylen said. He also emphasized the need for coordina- tion and communication between the academic affairs office and the other administrative areas. He said that such areas are business and finance, develop- ment, student affairs, and campus development and maintenance. "Better coordination will help en- sure academic innovation and the securing of educational grants," VanWylen said. THE PRESIDENT reported that in three or four weeks the advisory committee will submit a proposal to the faculty outlining new structural changes within the academic dean's office and ideas for the sort of person that should be chosen to fill the vacated dean's position. One reorganization plan that will be considered by the advisory committee is a proposal currently being drawn up by Dean for Aca- demic Affairs Morrette Rider. Rider's plan would establish four academic divisions in the academ- ic affairs area. ONE DIVISION would include the arts. The music, theater, art and physical education depart- ments would be housed in it. The natural science division would in- clude the departments of biology, chemistry, computer science, geol- ogy, mathematics and physics. A third division would be the social sciences. The departments of communication, economics and business administration, educa- tion, history, political science, psychology and sociology would be incorporated in it. The fourth division would include the Eng- lish, foreign languages and litera- ture, religion and philosophy de- partments. UNDER RIDER'S plan, a chairman for each division would administrate his respective area. VanWylen and the advisory committee are also considering what criteria should be established in the selection of the new aca- demic dean. "THE KINDS OF things we are considering are academic qualifi- cations, administrative capabili- ties, a prospective person's ability to identify with and understand the mission and character of Hope, and his ability to work with people," the President said. VanWylen declined to outline what he meant by "the mission and character of Hope." He indi- cated that he wanted the new dean to be involved in the for- mulation of a goals and purposes statement. THE PRESIDENT said that the goals and purposes statement completed in December of 1972 "was a good starting point." The statement was prepared by an ad hoc committee chaired by Profes- sor of Philosophy Dr. Arthur Jentz. VanWylen continued, "It was a very basic statement that needs to be more concrete. It should deal specifically with academic pro- grams, budgeting, growth of the college, and campus life." VANWYLEN did not offer his personal views on college goals and purposes. "1 have not had enough time to devote to formulating a purposes and goals statement," VanWylen said. "Our primary tasks have been the or- ganization of the development of- fice and now the staffing and structuring of the academic affairs office." He added that he would also want more input from the campus community before proposing a goals statement. laws, provisions for property pro- tection and regulations "within the general guidelines of the goals and purposes of Hope College." THE SCC, during its discus- sions of the Beran proposal over the last few months, circulated surveys to students and faculty asking for their opinions. 73 per- cent of the students who re- sponded to the survey at registra- tion last month favored the plan. Faculty surveys were circulated this month, but a mix-up pre- vented a statistically accurate pre- sentation of results at the meet- ing. BERAN'S proposal provides that regulations decided by living units be consistent with public laws and within the guidelines of the goals and purposes of the college. Most of the discussion at the meeting centered around these two areas. Associate Dean of Students Michael Gerrie said, "What it boils down to is the areas where, pres- ently, students aren't allowed to decide on-extended visitation and drinking." He indicated that other regulations stem from exist- ing public laws. STUDENTS Bob Waller and Paul Timmer believed that the clause concerning the goals and purposes of the college should not be included in the final draft submitted to the CLB. Waller said, "I'm afraid that people will use the 'goals and purposes' as a catch-all for saying no if a living unit submitted a plan providing for extended drinking and visitation privileges."

Dave Clu- ley, P. J. Coldren and Bruce Grout gained 14 percent of the votes each, while Selwyn Schultz gar- nered 13 percent of the ballots. Of the total 521 ballots cast, 240 were for Boersma. Student Congress President Ron Posthuma, who announced the election results, said that vot- ing was lighter in this election when compared to most CLB elec- tions. He attributed this to the facts that only one position was open and that the candidates didn't campaign very heavily. Posthuma said of Boersma's victory, "Boersma won partly be- cause he's in a fraternity and because a lot of people like and respect him." State funds increase Himebaugh views financial aid prospects for 74-75 by Marcy Darin Although he sees no "exact relationship between next year's tuition hike and the possibility of increased financial aid to stu- dents," Director of Financial Aid Bruce Himebaugh does not play the role of the prophet of doom, either. "GENERALLY, there will be more money available in the Hope scholarship and grant budget, but the exact implications of the fee increase are difficult to deter- mine at this stage," Himebaugh said. Himebaugh emphasized that the financial needs of the individ- ual families as demonstrated by the Parents Confidential State- ment will remain the primary con- sideration in the granting of any financial award by the college. THE COLLEGE Scholarship Service, which administers the PCS, has modified its parent con- tribution tables in the 1974-5 form with the effect of lessening the financial burden on the par- ents of some students. Himebaugh indicated that this change will affect primarily the middle in- come family. Another bright spot in the fi- nancial aid picture is an increase in funds awarded by the State of Michigan to state residents. Michi- gan recently raised the maximum grant from $800 to $1,200 effec- tive next year. THIS INCREASE could be an advantage to the out-of-state stu- dent as well, as Himebaugh ex- plained, "More state aid for Michi- gan residents could help out-of- state students by easing the drain on aid granted by the college, leaving more funds available." Himebaugh estimated that aid on the federal level will be "very comparable" to last year's. He added that President Nixon signed an HEW bill last December which guarantees the National Direct Student Loan, formerly known as National Defense Loans. He had vetoed a similar bill last spring. OTHER AID on the federal level comes in the form of the College Work Study Program, Supplemental Educational Oppor- tunity Grants, and the recently-in- stituted Basic Grant Program. The basic grant, which this year was available to freshmen only, will extend its eligibility to sophomores next year. Hime- baugh stated that this form of aid "will be four times as great next year" and is "geared for the stu- dent with much financial need." HIMEBAUGH said that federal programs account for 25-30 per- cent of the total aid Hope stu- dents receive, with funds from the college matching the same per- centage. Guaranteed bank loans are responsible for ten percent of the total aid figure, while state funds account for the remainder of the financial assistance. Last year 67 percent of Hope students received some form of financial assistance. WHEN ASKED if any changes in the awarding of financial aid would affect the minority enroll- ment, Himebaugh replied, "This is not a time when you can realistic- ally increase the number of full- need students, especially if they are out-of-state." However, Himebaugh believes that the addition of more Latino students from the western Michi- gan area is "realistic," in terms of students who can qualify for state BRUCE HIMEBAUGH aid. "You have to see where you can get students who come with more funding," he explained. THERE ARE no special out- side funds to aid low income or minority students, although nine percent of the Hope scholarship and aid budget is set aside for assisting minority students. Himebaugh pointed to another problem in assisting minority or low income students. "Many times, applications for the most needy students come in late, after much of the aid has already been committed." ON THE question of aid to foreign students, Himebaugh ex- plained that the "priority is to assist American citizens," adding that assistance to foreign students is limited to five percent of the aid budget. "Only the student who needs tuition or less is assisted," he continued. "We have been getting more and more foreign students who can pay their own way," Himebaugh said and added that "Hope won't suffer from a lack of students," mentioning the num- bers of students from Japan and Qatar now on campus and an expected increase in German stu- dents next year due to the rise in the value of German currency. HIMEBAUGH concluded by saying that it is the duty of his office to make Hope available "to a variety of students." "To be fair to all students, we must limit the money we give to achieve a balanced enrollment," he said. 'f

VanWylen considers changes

Administrative structure discussed by Paul Timmer

President Gordon VanWylen talked about possible changes in executive administrative structure, reorganization of the academic affairs office, and the search for a new academic affairs chief, in an interview last Wednesday.

WITH REGARD to the naming of Robert DeYoung to the posi-tion of vice president for student affairs, VanWylen affirmed his previous statements that he is "anxious for people who have major responsibilities to have their titles consistent with those used by other academic institutions."

State funds increase

Himebaugh views financial aid prospects for 74-75 by Marcy Darin

Although he sees no "exact relationship between next year's tuition hike and the possibility of increased financial aid to stu-dents," Director of Financial Aid Bruce Himebaugh does not play the role of the prophet of doom, either.

"GENERALLY, there will be more money available in the Hope scholarship and grant budget, but the exact implications of the fee increase are difficult to deter-mine at this stage," Himebaugh said.

be offered again this year as part of the May Term. The program, which was begun last year, will begin May IS and end June 8.

THE STARTING point for the 29 day excursion in the Near East will be Beirut, followed by travel to Syria, Jordan, Jerusalem and Athens.

Participants might visit Qatar,

if approval is granted by the Qatari cultural attache in Washing-ton, D.C. The group will spend 12 days in Amman, Jordan, working on an archaelogical excavation site, and will stay in Jerusalem for about six days.

The theater and music depart-ments have begun rehearsals for Cabaret, scheduled to open Feb. 28.

THIS award-winning musical, set in pre-World War 11 Berlin, is based on Christopher Isherwood's Berlin Stories. It explores some intimate and personal relation-ships which occurred in a small Berlin boarding house, while also "visiting" a decadent entertain-ment club from time to t ime-a typical cabaret.

Cost of the seminar is S990, which includes tuition, round trip travel from New York to Beirut, all surface travel, food, lodging, taxis and tips. Personal expenses and airport taxes are not covered in the fee.

ROUGHLY HALF, or $450 will go toward transportation costs. According to Coughenour, total cost of the seminar has been cut "by a close relationship to the Jordanian Department of An-tiquities, the University of Jordan, and the American Center for Or-iental Research in Amman.

Sophomore status is ordinarily required and the seminar carries three credits and can be applied to the religion requirement. Prepara-tion before departure includes some required reading and three or four lecture sessions in Arab culture and archaeological tech-niques. Students interested in go-ing on the trip should contact Coughenour or the International Education Office in Voorhees.

disapprove dorm proposals. He also asked, "Isn't it strange to say (adhere to the general guidelines of the goals and purposes of Hope College' when there is no accepted statement concerning this?"

Wheeler answered, "If there is no notion of what the goals and purposes of Hope College are, then it makes it difficult to make any kind of proposal and we've wasted our time working on this one."

THE MAJORITY of the com-mittee agreed with Wheeler that the goals and purposes clause should remain. Most agreed that although any proposal made with-in the board and committee struc-ture implicitly has the best for the

college in mind, there was no sufficient reason to delete it.

Wheeler said, "The best ap-proach would be for each living unit proposal to be decided on its own merits when it comes before the Campus Life Board. If the board members feel that a given proposal is in conflict with what they think are the goals and pur-poses, or in conflict with public law, they will have to so indicate to the group making the proposal that the group should modify the proposal."

THE COMMITTEE voted to approve the section which said that dorm proposals must be in

accordance with the goals and purposes of Hope. Timmer and Waller voted against including the statement in the recommendation to the CLB.

None of the committee mem-bers who voted to include the goals and purposes provision out-lined their own views on what these are or should be. They believed that question should be left in the hands of the CLB.

According to Beran, the reason for including the goals and pur-poses clause was that it was meant to be "a sort of nice statement for public relat ions-not a tool for dismissing individual living unit proposals."

One of the most controversial issues in the Western Church today is the proper role of women in church life. As the attitudes embodied in the Women's Liberation movement affect the church, the exclusion of women from church offices has come under fire. The Reformed Church in America is likewise in the midst of a debate on the ordination of women as ministers.

THIS COLUMN will deal with the Biblical arguments touching on the role of women in the church. In accord with the principle that Scripture alone must inform the faith and life of the church, the only proper orientation of any argument over women in the church is the Bible.

Frequently "practical" concerns about the po-tential pastoral effectiveness of women ministers are heard in debates over the role of women in today's church. Some doubt whether men and less activistic women would accept a woman as their counselor, administrator or preacher.

THESE QUESTIONS may have a certain rele-vance in determining the type of role a particular woman minister may assume in a congregation, but they are wholly irrelevant to the question of whether or not women may be Scripturally granted the right to ordination as ministers. If the Protestant church is to be true to its role of church faith and life, Scripture alone must be the basis for deciding this issue.

The history of the New Testament church shows that women, contrary to their modern experience, had a full and active role in mission and ministry. They served as deacons (Romans 16:1), missionaries (Acts 18:1-3), and in many other capacities in the New Testament church.

ONE OF THE most famous missionary teams of the New Testament was Aquila and Frisciila, a husband and wife team. Paul calls them both his "fellow-workers" in the Gospel. It is interesting to note that in three of the five passages in which their names are mentioned in the New Testament, the name of the woman, Priscilla, precedes that of her husband.

This direct violation of prevailing social custom indicates that the New Testament church regarded Priscilla as a more effective minister than her husband.

IT IS CLEAR, therefore, that women were not excluded from a full role in the New Testament church. True, they did not have numerical equality with men; but the fact remains that they did have opportunity to use their spiritual gifts in every capacity of the New Testament church.

These historically-oriented arguments are often opposed by those seeking to continue the ban against women as ministers. They also cite an interpretation of the New Testament which, they claim, denies women the right of ordination as ministers.

IN SOME letters to the apostolic church, Paul seems to oppose any public role for women in the church. He writes to Timothy, "Let women learn in silence with all submissiveness. I permit no woman to teach or to have authority over men; she is to keep silent" (I Tim. 2:12-13).

This text is frequently quoted by those opposing ordination of women. I believe that, far from prohibiting women in every church in all times and places from public ministry, this prohibition is applicable only to situations similar to that of Timothy's church.

FIRST, IT is evident that Paul did not apply this rule to all his churches. As seen above, he speaks glowingly of the many positive contributions made by women to the church; he also thought highly of Priscilla and encouraged her ministry.

Second, this "silencing" of women is due directly to a circumstance involving the women of Tim-othy's congregation. Immediately preceding the verses which command the silencing of these wom-en, Paul complains that the women in Timothy's congregation were dressing immoderately and be-having in an unruly manner.

A group of 21 geology majors and two faculty members will spend May Term this year explor-ing marine environments in South-em Tennessee, Alabama, and the Florida Panhandle.

"THE THEME this year is 'Modem and Ancient Marine En-vironments,' " explained John An-derson, associate professor of ge-ology and head of the trip. "We will study the evolution of the eastern American continent from the beginning of Paleozoic time to the present."

The areas through which the group will travel are coastal plains; land with a continuous sequence of sediment that becomes progres-sively younger the closer it is to the ocean shore. They will visit various outcrops, collect fossils, and study the modem coastal environment along a 200 mile stretch of shoreline, which Ander-son termed a "good area for geo-logic changes."

"WHEN THE trip is over, hopefully the students will be able

to correlate the ancient environ-ments to modem ones," Anderson remarked.

Many people seem to think the geology field trips are an easy and fun way to get credit, Anderson said, when actually, a lot of work is involved. Students will be re-quired to write a report, a term paper and a final exam.

"IF A course is attractive and stimulating enough, we can de-mand more out of the students," he reasoned.

Out of over 30 students origin-ally enrolled in the course, 11 were cut because of a transporta-tion problem.

THE DEPARTMENT made a request to the business office for the purchase of a bus which was denied, according to Business Manager Barry Werkman, "Be-cause we do not at present have the money to buy one, since it was not included as a budgeted item,"

Anderson expressed disap-pointment at the decision, but hoped the transportation problem could be rectified in the future.

Steaks, seconds return; students rate food 'fair'

Saga food service is in the process of returning to their form-er menus. The change, which will take place over the next two months, will involve the return of Saturday night steaks, unlimited seconds on solid meat entrees, special dinners and "pace chang-ers." The change will be gradual because of high prices and short-ages, according to Food Service Director Jess Newkirk.

The anchor conducted a survey Wednesday questioning students on their opinions of the quality of

Saga food. Sixty-five boarders were se-

lected from the campus phone-book and asked the following question: Would you judge the quality of the food provided by Saga to be excellent, good, fair or poor?

Of the 65 interviewed, none characterized the food as excel-lent. Eleven students said the quality of the food was good, while 36 felt that it was fair.

Eighteen students viewed the quality of the food as poor.

Plight of the farm worker examined by Tom O'Brien

"If they carry one scab article they have already chosen sides," declared David Martinez, Western Michigan United Farm Worker boycott coordinator, in an inter-view Tuesday.

SPEAKING ABOUT the plight of the farm worker and the strug-gle here in Michigan, Martinez stated, "Stores and food services that deal in non-United Farm Worker products deal in the blood of the farm worker people."

Martinez, referring to statistics compiled by the United States Senate Subcommittee on Migra-tory Labor in 1970, reported that for a family of four, with all four people working, the average week-ly income is $50. "This is the average, although in some cases it's twice that, and in others it's as low as $20 to $25 per week," he reported.

THE AVERAGE yearly wage varies with the number of work days each year, but the subcom-mittee reported that annual in-come for a family of four (again, all four working) to be $2,700. In certain instances, more can be obtained on welfare in New York City.

The poverty level established by the U.S. Government for a family of four with one breadwin-ner is $3,600 annually. Yet, "Less than nine percent of all farm workers receive any kind of public assistance," Martinez said.

"BECAUSE OF the constant movement of farm workers from jobs due to the various growing seasons, it is difficult to calculate more accurately, but it is estim-ated that there are 3 to 5 million farm workers in America," stated Martinez.

One out of three, workers is under 16 years of age. Eighty percent of the workers do not finish high school and 25 percent never make it past the fourth grade.

ACCORDING TO Martinez, the subcommittee estimated that the average farm worker home, often provided by the growers at a cost to the workers, consists of two rooms, 18 percent without indoor electricity, 90 percent hav-ing no sinks, and 95 percent with no toilets, showers or bathtubs.

"As a result of poor housing, in the Holland area in 1972, an infant girl died of pneumonia," Martinez said. "The house had holes in the walls. The county sheriff called it a •crib death.' "

THE PICKERS pleaded with the local social worker to stop her inquiry because the grower threat-ened the pickers, saying that they would be fired and never get another job in this part of Michi-gan again," Martinez stated.

The infant mortality rate is 125 percent higher among farm workers than the average Ameri-can. "You hesitate to go to the hospital when you make only $50 a week," Martinez observed.

DAVID MARTINEZ Dr. Samuel Simmons, an official

in the Office of Products Safety of Health, Education and Welfare, stated before the Senate Subcom-mittee that there are 150 to 200 re-ported pesticide related deaths a year among farm workers.

However, the HEW official re-ported, in Dade County, Florida, the poison control center reported three cases of pesticide poisonings while the .county examiner re-ported 29 incidents. He concluded that the statistics were a conserva-tive estimate.

"THERE ARE pressures on agencies to distort the number of poisonings that are reported but no government agency or commit-tee cares enough to get truly accurate statistics," asserted Mar-tinez. A farm worker for 16 years, he estimated that the number is probably 850 to 1,000 deaths a year.

One example of the lethal po-tential of the pesticides used is that of a farm worker in Irma County, California.

MARTINEZ recounted, "The worker was spraying crops wear-ing gloves and a respirator. When he finished a section of the field he rested a glove on his thigh while driving a tractor. The pesti-cide soaked right through his pant leg and then his skin. A short while later the worker became sick to his stomach and minutes later, unable to remove his respira-tor, he choked to death on his own vomit."

The life expectancy of the farm worker is 49 years, Martinez said.

ASKED WHY the workers picket retail stores rather than the growers themselves, Martinez said, "Our non-violent protests directly against the growers in the past had often been met with violence. On August 15 and 16 of 1972 in Karen County, California, two picketers were murdered. Nagi Mohsin Daifutlah, an Arab broth-er, died after being struck on the head by a policeman wielding a flashlight and the next day Juan Delacruz was shot to death by a strike breaker."

Martinez indicated that little was done concerning the incident, and when the farmworkers asked

Senior Ron Posthuma has been named the recipient of a $1,000 National Collegiate Athletic Asso-ciation postgraduate scholarship. • The NCAA program, which be-gan in 1964, was created to recog-nize student-athletes and to give the outstanding performers an op-portunity to continue their gradu-ate work at an" institution of their choice.

EACH WINNER has earned at least a "B" accumulative average for three years' of college work and has performed with distinc-tion on the football field, epito-mizing the term "student-ath-lete."

Posthuma, the first Hope stu-dent ever to receive the award, was one of ten recipients in the College Division of the NCAA. His 3.87 grade point average (on a 4.0 scale) was the highest of the Col-lege Division recipients and the third best among the 33 winners in all categories.

for protection from the state pol-ice they received a negative re-sponse.

MARTINEZ ALSO explained that United Farm Worker negotia-tions with growers have been sab-otaged many times over several years by the Teamsters Union in California, the state where 85 percent of all U.S. lettuce is grown. He alleged that in several instances when the UFW was ne-gotiating contracts with California growers, the Teamsters came in offering "soft" contracts to the growers that did not benefit the workers.

"The UFW contracts demand decent wages and decent working conditions, such as protection against the use of lethal pesticides. The Teamster contracts do not," Martinez said.

HE ALSO reported that UFW contracts demand the end to age discrimination for workers who are in their 40's, 50's and 60's. He declared, "They are fired because they cannot keep up with the pace; there are no pension bene-fits. The Teamster contracts con-thjn no such clause.

"Our contracts demand that workers be free to organize them-selves into ranch committees so that they can choose their own leaders. This puts an end to dis-crimination by the growers against activist farm workers."

MARTINEZ TOLD the story of an instance when the Teamsters moved on UFW-grower negotia-tions and the growers signed the Teamster contract in nine hours.

"If you know anything about labor relations you know that brand new contracts are not nego-tiated in a few hours unless some-one is being taken-yet they claim they represent the farm workers," he declared.

"IN MICHIGAN the cause is making great gains," Martinez said. So far, the UFW has success-fully picketed Farmer Jack's, Michigan's largest food chain; Great Scott, the fifth largest; and Hamady Brothers, Flint's largest.

"We have been picketing one food chain at a time on the basis of who are the biggest chains that carry the most scab products," Martinez explained. He pointed out that the UFW does not have the organization to picket the national food chains like A&P or Kroger's but "that time will come."

THE UFW'S latest target is the Meijer chain. "We have met with Earl Hold en, the senior vice-president of Meyer's, several

times. But in our last meeting in early January Hold en told us he refused to remove the scab pro-ducts," Martinez said.

This past weekend at Meyer's in Kalamazoo, the UFW picketers turned away 150 customers. In Grand Rapids 210 people re-sponded to their pleas, in Holland 38 and in Muskegon two did not enter the stores, according to Mar-tinez. The UFW estimates that for every customer they turn away Meyer's loses at least $25.

MARTINEZ finally said that there will be more picketing of Meyer's stores throughout the state this weekend.

Grand Rapids Local Teamster Union President Lee Hanley stated that Teamsters in Michigan are not involved with growers at all. He said that he did not know enough about the situation in the West to comment.

JAY BLUNT, Grand VaUey State College boycott organizer, stated that in late October of last year the GVSC food service, ARA, promised to buy only UFW lettuce and grapes. Blunt also mentioned that the food service at Nazareth College at Kalamazoo has also promised, while the cause at Western Michigan University and Kalamazoo College is making headway.

Kay Keane of Aquinas Col-lege's campus ministry reported that after three months of persua-sion tactics, Aquinas' Saga Food Service has promised to buy UFW lettuce and grapes or none at all.

JESS NEWKIRK, director of Saga Food Service at the college, explained that Saga buys food, including lettuce, according to quality, availability and price.

Asked whether Saga was mak-ing any effort to buy UFW lettuce and grapes Newkirk replied, "Quite honestly, we don't try to get into that kind of thing." He continued, "I've followed it (the UFW struggle) some but I haven't made a study of it ."

NEWKIRK ALSO maintained that quality lettuce in the winter is not so easy to come by.

When informed of the commit-ment by Aquinas' Saga to serve UFW lettuce or none at all, New-kirk replied, "I would question that. I find that hard to believe."

NEWKIRK THEN caUed Aqui-nas but was not able to locate the director of the food service.

"If the students feel that strongly about it we can buy UFW lettuce and do without it when the quality of the union lettuce is not high enough for us. But, to me, we'd almost have to take a vote," Newkirk asserted.

ASKED IF the food service would label the lettuce in the cafeteria to let students know when it is non-UFW, Newkirk said, "If there are enough requests through the beef (bulletin) board, I'm sure we can do that."

Asked if he felt any responsi-bility to farm workers because of the buying power he wields, he replied "My responsibility is to the students. So far my customers have overwhelmingly said that they wanted lettuce."

HE CONTINUED, "I personal-ly think labeling is an excellent idea-that way customers could make their own choice."

"Consumers in the U.S. wield the buying power, they have to make the change," Newkirk as-serted. He added that if Saga buys UFW lettuce there would be "a very real chance of not having lettuce."

Newkirk finally mentioned that Saga has bought UFW lettuce before.

IN RESPONSE to Newkirk's statement on his responsibility Martinez answered, "If there were a consumer demand for babies' heads would Newkirk meet their demand? At what point does one make the moral decision?"

On Wednesday evening, Marti-nez met with Chaplain William Hillegonds and Mary Meade and Richard Williams of the Ministry of Christ's People.

MARTINEZ ASKED for sup-port from the college in the form of an endorsement from the Stu-dent Congress and other college organizations. He mentioned that support committees to solicit in-formation, organize benefits and petition drives, and sell UFW newspapers, buttons and bumper-stickers would be helpful.

Martinez also said that student support at the picket at Meijer's Thrifty Acres in Holland tomor-row is greatly needed.

On the Beran plan The Student Conduct Committee

completed its study of the Beran proposal for individual living unit self-governance last Tuesday. We ap-plaud the committee's action to ap-prove the proposal and send it to the Campus Life Board for considera-tion.

The plan, submitted by CLB mem-ber Jim Beran last semester for con-sideration, is a well-reasoned and practical approach to making dorm living a positive experience. The pro-posal would give students the chance to use their own value systems for regulating behavior in living units instead of the values imposed by the CLB acting as determinant.

Because living units would make their own living rules (as long as they are consistent with public law and would not threaten college property) no one should regard this as a step toward sanctioned licentious behav-ior on the part of students.

Regulations dictated by the CLB are not generally respected by stu-dents, and if CLB guidelines are followed, it is usually because stu-dents have made their own decision regarding their personal behavior.

A person's objection to one regu-lation he or she had no voice in deciding, can create a tone of general disrespect for any campus regulation imposed on him or her. More respect will be held for regulations agreed on at the living unit level. Orders from above do not promote the same feeling of responsibility as decisions made by the living unit would.

The SCC directed most of its discussion toward a clause in the

Beran plan which called for dorm regulation proposals to be consistent with the goals and purposes of Hope College. Although Beran frankly ad-mitted that the phrase was intended as 'a public relations gesture,' one should not react cynically. The in-corporation of the provision was a political move made within the po-litical structure of the college. Pre-sumably, any proposal made within the board and committee structure of the college has the institution's best interest at heart.

A major concern of two SCC members was that the goals provision might be used for purposes other than those intended. They pointed out that if a CLB member did not approve of a dorm proposal (for example, if the proposal allowed drinking even on a restricted basis) that the board member could use the clause as a simple justification for turning it down.

Since there is no college-approved goals and purposes statement which could be used as a reference point, discussion could break down to each member's interpretation of what he or she believes the college's goals to be.

Beran indicated at Tuesday's meeting that the goals and purposes provision was not intended to be an easy way out for the board to reject liberalized drinking and pareital hours. We urge the CLB to approve the Beran plan. When the board re-views individual dorm unit proposals for self-government, it should view the goals and purposes section in the spirit which was intended.

If the goals and purposes clause is not considered in this light, the Beran plan will be rendered meaning-less, and we will live for another year under a system that alienates stu-dents from the regulations decreed to them.

Farewell to candor ©1974, The Los AnReles Times Syndicate

Harvest of shame ''What can one person do?" is a

question often asked by Americans who feel alienated from our political system. Yet, it is individual Ameri-can consumers who keep farm work-ers underpaid, underfed, and ill-housed.

When one person eats non-union lettuce he or she is the final cog in a vast system that exploits farm work-ers.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow called it "the harvest of shame." In the wealthiest nation in the world, where many are overweight because they overeat, the workers who have harvested our food often go hungry.

When the farm worker is ex-ploited, we consumers reap the seem-ing benefits-an abundance of fruits and vegetables at low cost. The cost has never reflected the price paid in human suffering. An average family

of four farm workers (children often start working in the fields at age five) is paid 50 percent less than one aver-age American worker even though, collectively, they work as many hours during the year.

The farm worker desires a just wage, decent working and living con-ditions, and a future of opportunities for his children.

It has been over a decade and a half since Murrow brought it to America's attention, and it has been four years since the Senate Subcom-mittee on Migratory Labor began its study. As Americans become aware of the problem it is time we take a stand.

United Farm Worker Cesar Chavez has said, "Without the help of the majority of the American people, the farm workers will never have a de-cent life."

The choice is ours.

WASHINGTON - T h e White House re-cently announced an end to President Nixon's "Operation Candor." The reason given for closing down the operation was that the President had laid to rest all the Watergate-related charges against him.

WITH THE release of the two white papers on ITT and the milk fund, the Administration felt there were no further questions to be answered about Mr. Nix-on's role in all the strange political happen-ings of 1973.

There was a certain amount of sadness in Washington when the White House made its announcement. Those most affected by the shutting down of Operation Candor were the special staff at the White House who had worked so hard to bring the truth to the American people.

1 WENT OVER there to see how they were taking it. Some secretaries were cry-ing, several press agents were cleaning out their desks. One Madison Avenue man was passing around champagne.

Herman Diogenes who had headed up the operation was shaking hands with his staff. "Don' t worry," he told a mimeo-graph operator, "if the President ever decides to tell the truth again, we'll call you back."

"WHAT DO YOU want me to do with this photograph of Rose Mary Woods showing how she erased the 18-minute tape?" a secretary asked.

"Throw it away," Diogenes said. " I t served its purpose."

"Should I put these copies of the President's income tax returns in a file box?" another secretary asked.

"NO, SHRED them. Someday some anti-Nixon historian might try to make something of them."

"What do you want me to do with this picture of Lincoln?" an office boy asked.

"Put it in the file box. We may need it again."

"IT MUST BE tough to close down an operation like this," I said to Diogenes.

"It breaks your heart ," he replied. "Operation Candor will go down as one of the great achievements of the Nixon Ad-ministration. We took a President whose credibility was at its lowest ebb, whose statements were being questioned every day, whose finances were muddied by conflicting evidence, and we proved he was not a crook."

"How did you do i t?" "BY BEING completely frank with the

American people. The President decided that certain questions of impropriety had to be answered. At Disney World he said he had never taken advantage of any of the usual tax gimmicks that most Americans use, such as cattle, real estate and interest." Diogenes continued, "The President told the governors there would be no more bombshells over Watergate and, except for the 18-minute hum on one tape, there were none. He said he would explain his dealings with ITT and the milk fund to everyone's satisfaction-and he did.

"THANKS TO Operation Candor, the Roper Poll revealed last week, a whopping 21 percent of the American people do not believe that the President is guilty of any of the serious charges made against him."

"And you did all of that right here in this office?" I asked in amazement.

" I GUESS YOU could say that ," Diog-enes admitted. "But we couldn't have done it without the President. When you've got an impeccable product to sell, it 's a lot easier. If you want the truth, we were victims of our own success.

"When I recruited this staff for Opera-tion Candor, I thought it would take three years to refute all the terrible things that were being said about the President. You can imagine my surprise when it took only three months to lay every charge to rest."

"WHAT DO YOU plan to do now that Operation Candor is over?" I asked Diog-enes.

"I think I'll go back to my old job ." "What's tha t?" "Selling used cars."

Former Mahavishnu drummer Cobham re/eases LP

1

This week's review is written by Rodney C. Murray. He reviews the new Billy Cobham album, Spectrum.

Billy Cobham, former drum-mer of the now defunct Mahavish-nu Orchestra, has released a solo album with the aid of unknown Tommy Bolin on guitar, session man Lee Sklar on bass and Jan Hammer on keyboards (also a former member of Mahavishnu).

NOW THAT THE trivia is over, let me say Cobham is one of the three or four top drummers of the day. This album, with few excep-tions, is a steady flow of funky and jazzy black-man rock.

The disc has a hard-driving bass interspersed with searing and oft-en times screeching guitar, as well as electric/acoustic piano keeping the rhythm section tight. These ingredients, plus the show-case drumming of Cobham, make for a listening with pure, unadulterated body rushes throughout.

THERE ARE no vocals, but they aren't necessary as any verbal usage would detract from one's

/

appreciating the complexity in-volved in sudden time changes and superb musicianship.

Some Mahavishnu fans might say that this album is simply an extension of Cobham's previous days with the band since there are no vocals and the music is indeed complex-but , no way is this just

a continuation of a dead band. MAHAVISHNU, at times, ex-

tended too far over my musical realm so that they sounded like disassociated noise. However, Cobham's new LP never sounds like that.

One of the members always manages to set up a standard riff

i Research emphasis questioned

Graduate schools examined The Panel on Alternate Ap-

proaches to Graduate Education, a national panel of leading educa-tors, has issued a report calling for major changes in American gradu-ate education.

IN THE REPORT, entitled Scholarship for Society, the panel questions the emphasis on re-search as the single criterion for evaluating all graduate schools and their faculties, and urges that all . doctoral students spend time working outside university walls in areas related to their major fields.

More than 18 months of study by the panel preceded the report. The 15-member panel was sup-ported by two influential organi-zations representative of graduate school opinion - the Graduate Record Examinations Board, whose policies affect the entrance requirements of most graduate in-stitutions, and the Council of Graduate Schools in the United States, whose 307 members in-clude universities awarding 98 per-cent of the doctoral degrees in this country.

IN A PREFACE to the report. Dr. J. Boyd Page, president of the Council, noted that "new ele-ments do need to be added to graduate schools, that significant modifications need to be made and that horizons of concern need to be expanded if graduate schools are to meet fully the emerging needs of society."

The panel recommended that: -g radua te school faculty be encour-aged to take a wider view of their professional roles, and the deci-sions " fo r tenure, promotion, and salary increments no longer [should be] based on the single criterion of research and publica-t ion."

—MORE intensified efforts should be made to recruit able mi-nority-group representatives and women to graduate school faculties. "Statistics can be cited confirming that the politics of graduate edu-cation reflect the influence of

a . . . discriminatory society." - O f t e n rigid institutional re-

quirements, such as residency and fellowship policies, become more flexible to meet the needs of new groups of students; for example, part-time women students.

—EVERY graduate student should be required to undertake discipline-related work outside the university, if he has not previously done so, to insure that no ad-vanced-degree candidate graduates without exposure to real working situations.

-Cer ta in institutional policies be altered to allow faculty mem-bers more time to play a larger role in the solution of major societal problems.

"IT IS A MATTER of recreat-ing the graduate faculty as leaders in the search for a new under-standing of the possibilities of human society and of re-creating the graduate institution as one that is capable of counseling polit-ical and cultural leaders on ways of assuring meaning to the struc-tural changes of society now in progress," the panel concludes.

The 20,000-word report cites a "cultural lag" resulting from an enormous increase in the past 50 years in the proportion of persons obtaining graduate degrees. While this increase, according to the report, has dramatically altered " the relation between the univer-sity and society as a whole," there has been little change in the self-conceptions of graduate depart-ments in the same 50-year period.

FOLLOWING ITS specific rec-ommendations, and suggestions for implementation, the report goes on to make projections about the future of graduate schools. Student populations, the panel forecasts, will be fairly evenly divided between the sexes; at least 20 per cent of its numbers will be drawn from minority groups.

The panel also predicts that the graduate professor will become more of a "mentor and pre-profes-sional counselor" through ex-

panded use of new educational technology. In addition, signifi-cant lines of communication will connect graduate programs and schools of different functions with each other and with other institutions, such as two-year col-leges and state education depart-ments.

that the rest of the band takes off on. Even in the opening tune called "Quadrant Four" and the spacey first part of the album's best cut, "Stratus," there exists a tangible foot-hold.

"QUADRANT Four" has to be the speediest song I've ever heard with Cobham playing a double, double-bass roll. (If Ginger Baker really does have three feet, Cob-ham must have four.)

. A word on "Stratus;" once you get beyond the aforementioned spacey part, in comes a never-end-ing bass line that really moves. It's a fairly fast cut, but never too fast that the instruments are crammed up and mixed with each other.

THE SONG gives you time to concentrate (not just hear) on each riff played by each instru-ment. Just listen to the opening guitar lick by Bolin, then hear it repeated a short time after you had expected it to come in again.

Cobham is caught short with his bag of tricks in the tune. He uses something called a Moog holder for his drums making an echo effect. Plus, instead of the standard cymbal banging he crash-es some sort of gong-no t the type that overrides the music, but a type that is higher pitched and faster in reverberation.

THIS IS not to say that the band is a band based on gimmicks, but it is, as I said before, a group with expert musicians playing bas-ically honest modern jazz on a rock energy level. There are even horns used on a couple of the slower songs.

The group is jazz-influenced, but is by no means a typical band, and Cobham is no typical drum-

mer. So far, I haven't mentioned much about his drumming (out-side of his tricks). But I have said he is one of the best. No one can make a statement like that and get away with it unless he backs it up.

BUT THEN what can I say? Why do you think Eric Clapton is the best guitarist, or why are the Stones the number one rock group? It's all a matter of taste.

This is not a cop-out-Cobham does play the unusual beats and uses his instrument not only as a back-up for the rhythm of a song, but many times as the lead instrument. There are no long solos on this album, but if you like and admire a Ginger Baker or a Corky Laing or a B. J. Wilson, you will like Billy Cobham and his new album called Spectrum.

'MIR' meeting set for Tues.

How liberal are you? This will be the topic of discussion next Tuesday, at this semester's first meeting of MIR, Hope's female awareness group. Relevant ques-tions will be asked, such as: Should an abortion be the deci-sion of the mother, father or doc-tor? Which spouse should be re-sponsible for a divorce? Should the husband or wife pay alimony, or should there perhaps be no ali-mony payments at all?

MIR will meet next Tuesday at 5 p.m. in the DeWitt faculty lounge. MIR is open to both men and women students; faculty members are urged to attend as well. Support is reportedly needed now for the retreat planned for the spring.

In an effort to avoid future embarrassment, President VanWylen made public his entire tape collection. Since most of the tapes are boring and of little interest to anyone, the anchor is printing only highlights. WTAS will, however, play the unabridged collection during the next two months.

CONVERSATION between then Dean of Stu-dents DeYoung and Dr. VanWylen, Oct. 4, 1972.

"Dr. VanWylen, I just read the account of your interview with the anchor"

"Did I come across articulately and inciteful?" "Not really." "INTELLIGENTLY informative?" "I ' l l put it bluntly. You've got to start changing

your image and stop talking to the anchor."

Arabs use economic power for selective embargo This week's essay is written by Abdulwahed Al-Mawlawi. He ex-amines the reasons for the current Arab oil embargo.

Being an Arab student on this campus has stimulated several of my American friends to ask ques-tions about the "energy crisis." It seems that they have associated "Arab" with "oil," "oil" with "energy," and "energy" with "cri-sis." They, with the Western sense for reasoning, associate "Arab" with "crisis," and feel that the former caused the latter.

WHY DID THE Arabs become so powerful and influential?

The Arabs are where they are now simply because they own what Europe and the United States need the most to sustain their civilization's life, and that is oil.

Western Europe gets 72 per-cent of its total oil imports from the Mideast, Japan gets 78 per-cent, and the U.S. imports be-tween 5 and 8 percent from the Middle East.

FOR 1980, estimated figures indicate that the Mideast will sup-ply 50 percent of the oil for Western Europe, 83 percent for Japan and 25 percent for the U.S. The Arab countries also possess the largest oil reserves in the world.

The Arab countries possess about 68 percent of the world's known reserves. The Socialist Bloc and the U.S. are a distant second and third, respectively, with known reserves.

IT SHOULD BE noted that American companies possess long term concessionary or contractual rights over the larger part of oil reserves in the Middle East and Africa.

In 1970, crude oil produced by American companies amounted to 8,545,000 Barrels Daily (BD), or 60 percent of the 14,351,000 BD, representing the total daily and production in the Arab countries during that year.

There are many reasons for the current oil embargo. As the U.S. media has been overwhelmingly presenting the Israeli viewpoint, it would benefit most Americans to learn that the Arabs are only asking the United States to keep its pledge to protect the territorial integrity of all the states in the Middle East.

THE CHARGE that the Arab oil producing countries are prac-ticing blackmail is simply prepos-terous. The Arabs are merely util-izing their economic power in the form of a selective embargo, a method long used by other coun-tries, including the U.S.

The objective of the oil embar-go is to bring an even-handed U.S. policy in the Middle East. This, of course, is a reasonable goal.

THE NECESSITY for Israel's withdrawal from Arab territories in the interests of a just peace is well-grounded in international law: The United Nations Charter, U.S. resolutions-especially U.N. Security Council Resolution 242, U.S. Mediator Jarring's mission and his initiatives of Feb. 8, 1971, the four-power talks on the Mid-dle East and the U.S. peace plan.

The Arabs are not asking for the dismantling of Israel, but for the restoration of Syrian, Egyp-tian and Jordanian territories.

ALSO, THEY are asking for justice for the Palestinian, Chris-tian, and Muslim people who were violently evicted from their lands and homes in Palestine in order to create the Zionist state of Israel.

The oil embargo is the natural result of the military, political and financial assistance that the U.S. government has been extending over the years to Israel, ignoring the fact that Israel has emerged without any legal basis on Arab land and has displaced and dispos-sessed its original inhabitants.

THE SITUATION has been further aggravated by the fact that the recipient of this vast U.S. assistance has seized territories of

three neighboring Arab states. It continues to occupy them with declared intention of annexing some of them under the spurious pretext of security.

The United States policy, although subscribing to the princi-ples of the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territories by war, and advocating the conclusion of a settlement between the parties, has not condemned Israel's new aggression and has not insisted upon immediate and uncondition-al withdrawal of Israeli forces. In 1958, Israel was condemned by the U.S. for the Suez aggression.

IN FACT, the U.S. has backed Israel's claim to remain in occupa-tion of Arab territories until the conclusion of peace. This has had the effect of increasing Israel's intransigence and reinforcing its determination to keep its grip on the territories of its neighbors.

Then, must Americans lower their thermostats so the Israelis can continue their hold in Sinai? Must Americans curtail education-al field trips in their schools so Israel can continue its occupation of the West Bank of the Jordan River?

Must Americans reduce their speed limits, close their factories, and have their gross national prod-uct reduced so Israel can maintain its grip on the Golan Heights? Must Americans suffer all the hardships and inconveniences of gas rationing and higher prices so Israel can continue its suppression of the Palestinian people?

It is for the American people and the American government to answer all those questions.

IN SHORT, the Arabs are asking only for justice and for respect for human rights and International Law, and for the U.S. to keep its commitment to them and to the world. What the Arabs are re-questing, should have been done a long time ago without the impetus of an oil embargo.

According to Newsweek, the West supplies massive amounts of grain to the Arab countries. Much of their machinery, processed foods, pharmaceuticals, chemicals and half of the Arabs' armaments come from the West.

APPROXIMATELY $15 bil-lion in Arab reserves is deposited in Western banks. Could the West cut off all those supplies, freeze those funds and thus force the Arabs to turn on the oil taps?

The answer is no, because, ac-

cording to specialists any move to freeze Arab bank deposits would only invite retaliation against the billions of dollars of Western as-sets in the Arab oil-producing states.

FOOD FOR Arabs is not in short supply. There is nothing the Arabs buy from the U.S. which they can't equally well purchase from Western Europe, Japan, and the Soviet Union-all of whom would be delighted at the chance to take a market away from Americans. Arabs need nothing so badly as the West needs oil.

The Soviet Union, because of reliance on Western technology and trade, could be persuaded to pressure the Arabs. But the Krem-lin does not seem to be in any rush to help the West. Indeed, the recent oil embargo has damaged the relationship between the U.S. and her allies.

WHEN SECRETARY of De-fense James Schlesinger rattles the American military saber, suggest-ing that the oil embargo might cause some Americans to favor military action, he is indulging in foolish bluster.

It may seem like good politics at home, but it is an implied threat of pressure which aims in the wrong direction, can't in com-mon sense be used, and makes matters worse rather than better.

IT WOULD also lead to direct confrontation with Moscow be-cause the Middle East is too vital a region to allow military action by a single power without pulling the rest of the world into it.

The only right, proper and in the long run, effective way to lift the embargo as soon as possible is to arrange and, if necessary, force the Israelis to withdraw from all of the territories seized in 1967 and bring about a just solution for the Palestinians.

Goodbye Carnegie

For those of you who use the Carnegie gym, good news is on the way-in a few years. The race to acquire the money has been started, and those who are taking an active part feel quite optimistic that their goal of raising one million dollars will soon be realized.

THE PROPOSED gym is to cost two and a half million, but hopefully the one million raised by Hope will show the necessary incentive to the vari-ous foundations around the country, and convince them to contribute the remaining amount.

Coach William Vanderbilt reports that 300 H Club members have been contacted and 400 thou-sand dollars have been pledged. He indicated that there are 800 more H Club members scattered around the country. For those who don't know, the H Club is a group of athletes that have won three or more letters in their athletic careers at Hope.

NATURALLY, these old jocks are interested in seeing the realization of the new phys. ed. building, but more importantly, this new building will benefit the students. So shouldn't the students themselves also play a part in this fund raising drive?

A number of years ago the plans were drawn up for the DeWitt Cultural Center. Getting the money for the building was not quite as easy. At that time the student body knew that they would not be around to see the completion of the building and reap its benefits. Still, they banded together and raised a large amount of the needed money.

THEY REALIZED the need for such a building. And those who use the current gym also realize the need for a new one.

For the present, the athletic department is looking into the possibility of using the Holland Armory or some other facility in close proximity to the campus for the intramural program. As of now, only Tuesday night is open to the students for free activities in Carnegie gym. Every other night of the week is booked with intramural activities, among other things. But for the mean time, Hopeites will have to do with what they have.

SPEAKING OF the intramural program, some mid-season results have come out. This is how the three basketball leagues stand:

Frat league A Frat league B Indy league

by Chris Liggett

Today, all Frat B team games will be played at Lincoln Elementary School Gym, across from Phelps. This has been changed due to the switching of the wrestling meet to a home stand on Saturday.

TWO NEW events are upcoming in the intramural program. On Feb. 23, a one day wrestling tourna-ment will be held. More information will be upcoming, but for those who plan on participating, it's about time to start getting in shape.

And for the first time, Hope will be having its own swim meet. Teams are encouraged to enter the Feb. 16 meet. Individual, relay and diving events are scheduled. The Holland Community Pool has been rented for practice on Feb. 4, 12 and 14.

TWO MEMBERS from each team can be entered in the individual events while only one team can be entered in the relays. All students and faculty are eligible to compete. Forms for entry are available at the phys. ed. office and must be turned in by Wednesday. Lane assignments will be given on Feb. 12 at 4 p.m.

The organizational meeting for the Winter II sports will be held on Feb. 20. The new season will feature volleyball, ping-pong and badminton.

A LARGE BLOW was dealt to the,wrestling team over the past week. In the meet against Alma, heavyweight Kevin Boerman broke his thumb in the second period of his match, and then went on to pin his opponent in the third period.

Boerman had been looking like his old self in the past few meets, and it appeared as though he would repeat as the MIAA champion. But now it looks like the rest of the conference heavyweights can breathe easier, for Boerman is most likely done for the season.

SO FAR THIS season, the Dutch have looked exceedingly powerful on their home basketball court. The big test of this home court advantage is coming up Wednesday as the Knights from Calvin come here to try to extend their winning streak over Hope. Students should get tickets early and show their I.D. to be admitted to the game.

The Dutch have the ability to beat the team of heretics and if the infamous Dutch Clutch is not employed, Hope will see the final score on top by five.

For those who are truly interested in ending the continuing dominance of Calvin over Hope, we sug-gest you turn to page 427 in your copy of James Michener's Iberia.

by Jim McFarlin

You can say this for the Flying Dutchmen-they go to any lengths to please their audience.

IN THE SPACE of a week, Hope roundballers twice let big leads slip away from them in the Civic Center, then rallied in the final seconds to defeat a tough Aquinas team, 73-69, and MIAA rival Olivet, 72-67, to keep their home record a perfect 6-0.

Sandwiched between the two victories, Hope graciously kept the Adrian College fans happy by stumbling before the Bulldogs 62-60, giving the home team their first win of the season, and their first since January of 1973 (they beat the accomodating Dutch then, 71-65).

AGAINST ADRIAN, now 1-10 for the year, Hope saw their eight point halftime lead dwindle away in the closing minutes until sophomore Bulldog center John Soderberg banked one off the boards for a 62-60 lead with 2:01 to play.

Smooth-shooting Dutch for-ward Jerry Root quickly coun-tered to tie the score, and turnovers took over for a brief period.

WITH 43 seconds left, Adrian went into an effective stall until Soderberg put up what proved to be the winning shot from out-court with five seconds to play.

Brian Vriesman took workhorse honors for the Orange, fighting for 22 of Hope's total 45 rebounds and leading the scoring with 25 markers. Root was the only other Dutchman in double figures with 14 points.

BACK IN THE friendly con-fines of the Tulip City, 1972-73 MIAA co-champion Olivet proved an imposing obstacle for the Dutch unbeaten string.

Though not nearly as strong as

last season (they're 2-13 overall), cold shooting and countless mis-takes by both squads kept the score lower (and closer) than perhaps it should have been in the first half. Hope led 29-27 at the first stop on Root's picture-per-fect jumper from the dead corner at the buzzer.

THE HOME TEAM came out hustling at the start of the second half. Led by Vriesman's six straight points, Hope jumped to a six-point lead, 35-29 with 17:40 to play.

Olivet came back quickly to within two before the Dutch ran off a 13-4 binge to lead 48-37, with junior Willie Cunningham doing a brilliant job on the Comets' John Nametz.

OLIVET WENT into full court pressure, although Hope broke through it easily for the most part, their execution past the ten second line became sloppy. Hustle and fine long-range shooting by guards John Sibley and Steve Bivens sliced Hope's advantage back to four, making the score 63-59.

The Comet hustle on the press forced them into fouls, which Vriesman, Cunningham and Jack Klunder made cooly to keep the game out of reach. Hope climaxed their win with a fine 30 second stall to put the game on ice by five.

VRIESMAN LED all scorers with 18; Cunningham, playing perhaps his finest game of the season, accounted for 15. For-ward Mike Riksen, who kept his shooting between the warm and hot level, and Dwayne Boyce each had nine.

The Dutch keep themselves in friendly territory for quite a while now, facing Albion at the Civic Center Saturday night, and pre-paring themselves for a return match against Calvin on Wednes-day Feb. 6.

team succumbed 60-25 to the experience and height of the Calvin Knighties. Turnovers and a low scoring percentage con-tributed to the loss.

HOPE FOUND itself down by five points at the end of the first quarter.

The second period brought Hope within three points of Calvin as Sue Dirkse netted a lay up to make the score 11-8. Hope was unable to take advan-tage of Calvin's fouls as the Dutch free throws were not successful.

CALVIN LET loose with seven points before Mary Kolean con-nected with a beautiful corner jump shot to bring Hope up to 10 points with two and a half minutes left in the half.

Dirkse's jump shot made it 19-12 as Hope seemed to be gaining new life. Nancy Lambert then rebounded and put it in for another bucket to make it 19-14. Calvin's slump ended in a six point scoring streak to make the half-time score 25-15.

CALVIN'S impressive rebound-ing skills and on the mark passing

pushed their score up to 44 points before Hope was able to net one basket. They continued to pres-sure Hope into taking outside low percentage shots.

Early in the fourth quarter Calvin loosened up but Hope could not make the ball sink. Finally Dirkse and Laurie Norden netted two consecutive baskets to put Hope past the 20 point mark.

DIRKSE, WHOSE baU handling was outstanding, finished the game with 11 points to lead Hope. The team as a whole worked well together and found their strength in bringing the ball down court. Confusion was evident in working the ball inside and overcoming the quick hands of the Knighties.

Team spirit was high and coach Cindy Bean commented, "This week the team really jelled togeth-er as a unit. They are scrappy and give a 100 percent the whole game."

The girls do keep their spirits high and put together a good offense. The next home game is Thursday against Albion. It should be a good one and according to Bean, "We'll take Albion."
