Bill passed

Michigan to hold primary Michigan residents will f o r the

first t ime have a voice in deciding nat ional presidential candida tes when governor William Milliken signs a bill establishing a May 16 presidential pr imary in the s tate .

MILLIKEN was q u o t e d in a s tory in Thu r sday ' s edi t ion of the Holland Evening Sentinel as ac-claiming the pr imary bill " o n e of the most impor t an t r e fo rm mea-sures ever passed by the Michigan legis lature,"

The bill, which Milliken intro-duced six weeks ago, was given final legislative approval Wednes-day when the Senate agreed 34-1 to House a m e n d m e n t s of the measure, according to the Sentinel article. As soon as an off ic ia l copy of the bill can be p r in ted , Milliken will be ready to sign it, the article said.

U N D E R THE legislation, voters would select bo th a presi-dential cand ida te and a precinct delegate c o m m i t t e d to the candi-date. Vote r s would also have the op t ion of cast ing bal lots fo r pre-cinct delegates not c o m m i t t e d to a cand ida te , the s tory said.

Candida tes would receive the same p ropo r t i on of c o m m i t t e d Michigan delegates at the party nat ional conven t ion as votes won on a s ta tewide basis in the pri-mary . The delegates would be bound to the cand ida te s whom voters pick th rough the second ballot at the nat ional conven t ion .

T H E L E G I S L A T I O N would re-quire Secretary of Sta te Richard Austin to issue by March 3 a list of potent ia l cand ida tes for each party based on nat ional news publ ic i ty , the Sentinel article said.

If the bill is s igned, political parties will be required to submit lists of persons w h o m they con-sider as po ten t ia l candida tes by March 7. Aust in would draw up the final list by March 17.

A L T H O U G H the exact pro-cedural details of the pr imary have not yet been de t e rmined , news sources indicate that the pr imary will be open in the sense that it will involve b o t h demo-cratic and republ ican candidates and that voters who are not registered party m e m b e r s will be allowed to par t ic ipate .

Jacob DeWitt named director of fund drive

The a p p o i n t m e n t of J a c o b H. ( Jack) DeWitt as nat ional chair-man of the Hope College 1972-73 annual f u n d drive has been an-nounced by Hugh DePree, chair-man of the board of t rus tees .

DeWitt, a 1932 Hope grad, is retired cha i rman of the board of Big D u t c h m a n of Zeeland, Mich. He and his b ro the r Richard con t r ibu ted a major gift which made possible cons t ruc t ion of the DeWitt Cul tural Center .

In an address to the board of t rustees dur ing a recent meet ing DeWitt no ted that some $ 8 0 0 , 0 0 0 in unres t r ic ted funds is needed each year to balance the college's opera t ional budget .

"These f u n d s are absolutely necessary if Hope is to mainta in facul ty salaries, ope ra te new buildings, con t inue its scholarship program and provide an educa-tional program of highest qual-i ty ," DeWitt said.

Hope is recognized as a national leader in vo lun ta ry sup-port according to DeWitt. In 1967 the college received the highly prized Mobius Strip Award f rom the United Sta tes Steel Corpora-

IN PASSING the pr imary bill, the Michigan Senate approved a House a m e n d m e n t which will pro-hibit candida tes w h o collect less than five percen t of the s ta tewide popu la r vote f r o m claiming any delegates.

" T h i s bill will al low all eligible voters, including the newly en-franchised y o u n g voters , to have a direct in f luence in the selection of president ial cand ida t e s , " Milliken said. He t e rmed the measure "a victory for the people and a t r ibu te to b o t h par t i es . "

Blue laws questioned

HHRC studies progress by Gary Gray

T h e Hol land H u m a n Relat ions Commiss ion Thu r sday heard re-por ts of progress m a d e on projec ts genera ted at the i r Nov. 6 confer -ence held at Marigold Lodge.

T H E H H R C , soon a f t e r the "Prior i t ies for Social C h a n g e " re-t rea t , chose cer ta in projec ts f rom the ideas b ra ins to rmed by the more than 90 persons w h o at-t ended the meet ing .

T h e counci l ' s four s tanding c o m m i t t e e s were charged with under t ak ing the projects . The H H R C also an t ic ipa ted help f rom o ther g roups in the c o m m u n i t y .

H O L L A N D ' S "b lue laws," regulat ions prohib i t ing the opera-t ion of e n t e r t a i n m e n t businesses on S u n d a y , came u n d e r fire at the November re t rea t . Several repre-sentat ives at the meet ing felt tha t the laws might be uncons t i tu -t ional and that they represented an in f r ingemen t on the rights of Chicanos as well as o the r s in the

city seeking Sunday enter ta in-men t .

Since the November meet ing, the H H R C has presented a let ter to the city council request ing t h e m to s tudy the law to deter-mine its possible in f r ingement on the rights of Holland residents .

CITY M A N A G E R William Bopf told the anchor in an inter-view Tuesday that he th inks the counci l will wait to decide on the blue laws until someone chal-lenges the regulat ions by re-ques t ing that they be allowed to open a business on Sunday . "Cit i-zens also have the op t ion to call for a r e f e r e n d u m on the issue," Bopf said.

Bopf indicated that the aboli-t ion of the blue laws is a complex issue. " S o m e of the blue laws may tu rn out to be enforceab le and some may no t . At any rate it will require a test case to de te rmine the validity of a regulat ion.

BOPF I N T I M A T E D that the counci l mav decide merely to

t e rmina te e n f o r c e m e n t of cer ta in regulat ions pertaining to Sunday openings. Holland already allows Sunday skat ing on city r inks which was once proh ib i ted , he said.

This change, he said, came simply as a decision by the city not t o re-erect a sign at the rink which had been torn d o w n .

MOST DISCUSSION abou t the abol i t ion of the blue laws centers a round the fear of some ci t izens that the c i ty ' s " w h o l e s o m e " char-acter may be damaged in some way by revoking the regulat ions. " H H R C member s will be meet ing short ly with members f r o m Hol-land 's Chris t ians United for Social Act ion t o de te rmine the concen-sus of the ci t izenry on the blue laws issue ," Bopf said.

Ed. dept. innovations could enhance job prospects Editor's note: This is the second article in a special three-part series on the education department by anchor associate editor Mary Houting. This week she explores some of the department's plans for future innovations.

With a surplus of teachers na t ionwide , many schools are dis-carding tradit ional teacher educa-tion me thods in an a t t emp t to give their certified graduates an edge in the j ob market , and Hope is no except ion .

ASSOCIATE professor of educa t ion Carl Schackow feels Hope 's educat ion depa r tmen t is far f r o m tradit ional , and counters claims that it is by point ing to its phi losophy of providing the stu-

dent with bo th theory and practi-cal experience t h roughou t his training.

"A unique s i tuat ion exists at H o p e , " he said, " in that s tudents are actively involved in actual teaching s i tuat ions f r o m the soph-omore year o n . "

FOR MOST inst i tut ions, the t radi t ional route is to provide teacher candidates with three years of theory in the classroom and then send them out for a semester of s tudent teaching, he said.

" H o p e is also innovative in the affect ive side of educa t i on , " Schackow sta ted. "We try to a t ta in a close relat ionship with the s tuden t s in our d e p a r t m e n t .

Registrar announces grade

distribution for fall semester by Marjorie DeKam

Women really are super ior to men - at least they received higher grades last semester , ac-cording to figures released by registrar Jon Huiskens.

THE F I G U R E S also reveal that out of 10,558 grades received last semester , approximate ly 21.5 per-cent were A's, fewer than the previous semester. Last spring approximate ly 23 percent of 9 ,276 grades were A's.

The largest number of grades ranged in the B area, which comprised 38.9 percent of the total . The previous semester ' s figures were larger, with 39 .6 percent of all grades being B's.

WOMEN RECEIVED 1,277 A's. whereas men earned only 905 of the high marks. Women also ou t ranked men in the B category, obtaining 2,289 B's to the 1.826 of their male counterpar t s .

When classified according to class s tatus , the registrar 's figures

also reveal that jun iors received the highest grades. Both soph-omores and juniors earned the most B's.

FRESHMEN G R A D E S were consistently lower. More C's were given to f reshmen, as well as D's and F's .

Distr ibut ion of C grades over the past two semesters has been similar. Last fall C's made up 22.1 percent of grades, whereas last spring C's comprised 21.3 percent of the total.

IN G E N E R A L , men received more C's and D's than women , a pa t te rn which was similar the previous semester. They also ob-tained more failing grades - 154 to the coeds ' 93.

Finally, more failures were given out last semester than the previous one. There were 249 F's, comprising 2.3 percent of all grades last semester. In the spring there were 156 failures, only 1.5 percent of the total .

t ional approach . 1 don ' t think it is ," he asserted.

Chairman of the educa t ion de-pa r tmen t Lamont Dirkse agreed. "We are far ahead of most schools ," he said.

DIRKSE ALSO ment ioned that his depar tment is s tudying new possibilities for s tudent teaching, including oppor tun i t i e s to s tudent teach in an urban, internat ional or rural set t ing.

Arrangements can presently be made for a s tudent to acquire his s tudent teaching experience in Muskegon or Grand Rapids, if he indicates a desire to teach in an urban envi ronment , Dirkse said.

THE PHILADELPHIA Urban Semester also provides such an o p p o r t u n i t y .

Hope is presently part icipat ing in discussions with several o the r inst i tut ions about the possibility of establishing a cooperat ive ar-rangement to provide s tudent teaching experience in a foreign coun t ry , Dirkse indicated.

BECAUSE OF Hope 's ties with Vienna, that seems to be an excellent city f rom which to work , he noted . However, o ther places are also under considera-t ion, he added.

Grand Valley State College would probably be the coordi-nator of such a program.

State inst i tut ions once pre-pared teachers to work in rural areas, Dirkse said, "but this seems to have gone by the ways ide ."

THE FIELD OF rural educa-tion is Schackow's special interest . He described his concern as "a backlash response to the hundreds of thousands of dollars being poured into urban educat ion re-search, f rom which the answers are slow in coming . "

"1 look at Hope, with our limited s tudents , staff and money , and I think it is foolish fo r us to t h row our minimal energy into the same a rena , " he said.

JUST N O R T H of Holland, primarily in the Traverse City area, Schackow pointed out , are rural schools with un ique prob-lems and needs, including those of the migrant and Indian.

' i t is my idea to go nor th , interview rural super in tenden t s to discover what kind of teachers do the best job in their schools, and explore the need for establishing a s tudent teaching program in that a rea ," he s ta ted.

THIS AREA is handicapped geographically, Schackow re-por ted , because it lies too far north to receive s tudent teachers from state ins t i tu t ions in the lower peninsula, and t o o far south to benefi t f r o m state inst i tut ions in the upper peninsula.

In fact , there are no s tudent teachers in all of Leelenau Coun ty , he revealed.

SCHACKOW indicated that the super in tendents with whom he has already communica t ed are "most en thus ias t ic" about his plans. "They feel like the for-got ten man , " he said.

Schackow will spend his sum-mer researching the area of rural educat ion and the possibilities for Hope to establish some sort of rural s tudent teaching exper ience.

THE RESULTS of such a pro-gram, he said, would be th ree fo ld : it would provide new student teacher placement oppor tun i t i es ; an assessment of the particular needs of rural schools, and at least superficially the needs of Indians and migrants; and it would pro-vide a new emphasis in Hope 's teacher training program.

"Rura l educat ion is not a cop-o u t , " Schackow emphasized. "I t is simply a logical placement of money and energy . "

A L T H O U G H HOPE cannot a f ford a full fledged special educa-tion program, it is current ly s tudying the possibility of com-bining e f fo r t s with o ther small schools in that area.

Grand Valley, Calvin, Aquinas and Hope are presently ident i fy-ing course offer ings " t o see how they doveta i l , " according to Dirkse.

UNDER SUCH a program— which is at least a year a w a y -s tudents would take courses in the educat ion of the mental ly , emo-tionally and physically handi-capped at each of the participa-ting ins t i tu t ions .

Again, Grand Valley would probably be the coordinat ing school, Dirkse said.

DIRKSE ALSO indicated that in the near fu tu re the educat ion depa r tmen t plans to s tudy per-fo rmance based teacher educat ion programs.

Under such a program, a teacher candidate would have to meet certain pe r fo rmance objec-tives in order to be cert if ied, rather than merely taking a speci-lied number of required courses, as he now must do.

Local businessman L. T. Black-burn ' s plans to erect a pizza restaurant- tavern on the corner of 9th St. and Columbia Ave. were foiled Wednesday night by the Holland City Counci l .

THE COUNCIL upheld by a vote of 6-3 the Holland City Planning Commiss ion 's recom-mendat ion that Blackburn 's re-quest to rezone the corner be denied because of the "well-established residential cha rac t e r " of the ne ighborhood .

Counci lman Morris Peerbolt noted that " t h e locat ion is not really ideal ." Counci lman Elmer Wissink said that a l though the area needs to be developed, de-velopment should wait unti l some-one presents a reasonable plan.

BLACKBURN presented the council with a 700-signature peti-tion suppor t ing the proposed re-zoning and stated that the t w o bars f requented by young people were overcrowded, hence the need for a third tavern in the area.

Blackburn also ment ioned the benefi ts to the city which his proposed establ ishment would provide, such as addi t ional park-ing spaces and increased tax reve-nue.

IN HIS APPEAL to the coun-cil, he stated that the city should provide 18 to 21-year-olds a place to exercise their rights.

Peerbolt replied, " T h e idea that we should provide a place for these individuals to exercise their rights is t enuous at best. We have the leeway to discriminate where res taurants and so for th are con-ce rned , "

BECAUSE THE land is pre-sently zoned for commercial apar tment use, Blackburn has also considered const ruct ing a 16 unit , Brumler- type apa r tmen t house.

Some speculat ion exists that the college opposed the rezoning request in the hopes that Black-burn would erect the apar tments , which Hope could purchase later for addi t ional housing.

BLACKBURN stated Thursday that in counci l ' s pre-meeting dis-cussion of his request Wednesday night, the general opinion was that "if they approved the re-zoning they would also have to grant the beer and wine license la ter ."

" T h e y d idn ' t want to do that because the college had voiced opposi t ion to a bar across f rom Dykstra Hall ," he said.

Al though he and his family will remain in Hol land, his new em-ployer will be the Howard Miller Clock Co. of Zeeland, where he will become a p roduc t ion super-visor.

Boyer felt that there p robab ly wouldn ' t be any drastic changes made in his absence and expressed a hope that any change would be beneficial .

"I emphasize good publ ic re-lations with the s tuden t b o d y , no t only because they ' r e paying for the food , but because I want our

"We try to make the food service as s tudent -or ien ted as possible, not only in the hiring of s tudents bu t by listening to their suggestions and c o m m e n t s as well ."

Policies of employing s tuden t s and the s tatus of present em-ployees will remain the same.

AAB opens Philadelphia semester to sophs The Academic Affairs Board

Friday liberalized the pre-requisites for ent rance into the Philadelphia Urban Semester Pro-gram and approved the concept of awarding college credit for good pe r fo rmance on the Cqllgg£_Level Examina t ion Program (CLEP) subject exams.

THE PROPOSAL to change the Philadelphia program pre-requisites was sent to the AAB f rom the o f f - campus programs and admissions commit tee . The original requi rements stated that par t ic ipat ion in the program was limited to jun io r s and seniors.

The o f f - c a m p u s programs com-mit tee proposed that "specially qualif ied s tuden t s in areas such as social we l fa re" be allowed to part icipate in the program during the second semester of their soph-omore year.

PROFESSOR OF English J o h n Hol lenbach, a member of the of f -campus programs commi t t ee ,

explained the reasoning behind the proposal .

"The re are certain people who are qualif ied t o go as sophomores . We found ourselves making excep-tions, and we felt that if we con t inued doing so we would undermine the requirement.* '

The change was adop ted with little oppos i t ion .

THE AAB'S considerat ion of the College Level Examina t ion Program resulted f rom a recom-menda t ion f r o m the Adminis t ra-tive Affa i rs Board.

The A d A B accepted CLEP in principle at its Feb. 7 meet ing, and forwarded the mat te r to the AAB for approval . Interest in the program originated with the ad-missions and financial aids com-mit tee .

REGISTRAR Jon Huiskens initiated discussion with the re-mark that o the r GLCA schools are adopt ing the CLEP, and as a result the registrar 's o f f ice may be con-

f ron ted with the problem of trans-fer s tudents who have several hours of CLEP credit .

Dean for academic affai rs Mor-ret te Rider explained the differ-ence be tween CLEP and the pre-sent advanced placement pro-grams.

"THE ADVANCED p lacement program is similar to CLEP, but not all high schools have the advanced placement program. Since t h e CLEP tests would be of fe red here at Hope, all incoming s tudents would get a chance to try for credi t , and by our own cri-te r ia ," he said.

Specific depa r tmen t s will have to consent to the assigning of credit where they ' re involved, c o m m e n t e d associate dean for academic affairs John Stewar t .

HOLLENBACH suggested that the board decide whether CLEP is really desirable before discussing the assignment of credits.

Hope is exception

Small colleges going under Most of the nat ion 's private

colleges and universities are scrap-ing the b o t t o m of the barrel for money , according to a s tory printed recently in the Christian Science Monitor.

THE S T O R Y , which appeared in the Monitor's Feb. 17 issue, named f inancing as the number one problem facing college presi-dents today .

The newspaper quo ted a s tudy made by the Association of American Colleges which showed that over 100 private colleges and universities have now exhaus ted their liquid assets and are on the verge of going under .

"IF THE C U R R E N T rate of deficits c o n t i n u e s , " the article said, "near ly half the nat ion 's private colleges and universities will be eligible for bankrup tcy within 10 yea r s . " Hard t imes have particularly hur t the coun t ry ' s Northeast sect ion with its high concent ra t ion ( 2 4 9 ) of private schools.

Yale Universi ty, with an en-d o w m e n t of near ly $500 million, has a present deficit of $2.6 million and a pro jec ted shortage of $5.7 million, the article con-t inued.

THE C O L L E G E S ' e n d o w m e n t principles have been exhausted to cover opera t ing expenses, the article said. Colleges have been forced to b o r r o w f rom private sources in order t o keep af loat .

A total of 6 6 private insti tu-t ions have succumbed to financial ruin over the last two years, according to the Monitor s tory. Small opera t ions - o f t en church suppor ted - wi th negligible en-d o w m e n t s and f ew reserves have

had to simply close their doors . Larger ones, such as the Universi-ties of Pit tsburgh and Buffa lo , have gone public, the article s tated.

HOWEVER according to Hope business manager Barry Werkman, Hope ' s financial si tuation is not nearly so bleak. Werkman named as Hope ' s key to success the appl icat ion of business account ing practices in the al location of f u n d s to depa r tmen t s and services here.

" H o p e ' s f u tu re looks much brighter now than it did five years ago ," Werkman said. In 1965 Hope had a defici t of $ 2 0 0 , 0 0 0 , but now has complete ly erased the deficit and has opera ted with a surplus the last two years, he said.

WERKMAN NOTED that Hope began a program in 1966 for working with depa r tmen t chair-men to be t te r outline f inancial needs within the ins t i tu t ion.

Hope ' s business office supplies the chairmen with in fo rmat ion abou t guidelines and al locations, and Werkman said that mos t de-pa r tmen t s have stayed well within those bounds .

HOWEVER, he con t inued , the ability to con t ro l funds th rough budget ing techniques is not the only reason for Hope 's good financial o u t l o o k .

Income increases f r o m the church, a lumni gifts and fee hikes have helped save Hope f r o m the plight of similar inst i tut ions.

A C C O R D I N G TO Chancellor William Vander lugt , Hope appeals to churchmen because they feel it gives t hem a positive return which they can readily see. Hope acti-

According to a 1970 Carnegie Commission on Higher Educa t ion survey, an alarming 29.5 percent of all private ins t i tu t ions in the count ry are in financial t rouble , and almost 43 percent are heading into it.

" In t r o u b l e " means they have had to cut the quali ty of their educa t ion and /o r have had to delete various basic educat ional programs, the Monitor said.

PLACING THE BLAME on a general trailing off of financial suppor t coupled with galloping inf la t ion, college and university adminis t ra tors are scrambling a round in an a t t empt to hold down thei r ballooning operat ing budgets , the article said.

Their e f fo r t s include cut t ing down on maintenance costs, elimi-nating "nonessen t ia l " facul ty and freezing staff and facul ty salaries, the s tory cont inued .

Adminis t ra tors are also halting cons t ruc t ion and buying less equ ipmen t . They have cut a thlet ic programs and have been forced to curtail some academic programs.

MORE F A R S I G H T E D changes must be made if private higher educa t ion is to survive, the article said. The Monitor quo ted T u f t s vice president John W. Sheetz: " o u r fiscal crisis. . . is going to provide an oppor tun i ty for an ad jus tmen t and shakedown in our whole educat ion system that is long ove rdue . "

"We shall have to analyze our present s i tuat ion pre t ty care-fu l ly , " he said, "and find out what ' s wrong with what we are doing and how we got in to such a mess and who 's responsible and what changes seem t o be indi-ca ted . "

" I ' m uneasy about the pro-g r am, " he said. " I th ink an educa-tional inst i tut ion must be con-cerned with p romot ing learning, not cer t i fy ing learning.

"THERE'S NO set of qualifica-t ions that are agreed upon as the sine qua non for a degree," he cont inued . He indicated that with-out such a list, s tandardized tests such as those used in the CLEP are no t a valid index of the kind of personal and academic growth which a s tudent should exper ience in college.

Hol lenbach granted that col-lege has the responsibil i ty to see that the s tudent does not repeat in course work what he has learned earlier, but he quest ioned the supposi t ion that a s tudent needs fewer hours just because he has more background.

"I'M CONCERNED about the impact of this on the meaning of a

degree ," was the way he summed up his reservations. " T h e meaning of a college exper ience should be more than just passing an exami-n a t i o n . "

Rider remarked that "it is the bet ter s tudents who will take the CLEP exams." If o ther schools accept CLEP credit while Hope does not , " i t ' s not hard to figure out where the s tuden t s will go , " he said.

HOLLENBACH replied that the AAB seemed to be concerned with CLEP only because of pres-sure for s tudents to get degrees. "This makes it a little qu icker , " he said.

Rider said that if a s tudent gained nine hours through the

CLEP, " I t probably wou ldn ' t speed his exit f r o m the campus. I th ink he 'd stay and take more courses ."

"I DOUBT IF this would be proved t rue if y o u studied actual cases," Hollenbach answered.

He went on to ask whether the college experience achieves any-thing more than what is measured on tests. "The element of class-room experience and the things it involves would be e l imina ted , " he said.

HUISKENS reminded him tha t the college has cont ro l over the impact of the CLEP on the de-gree.

Professor of Spanish Huber t Weller expressed reservations about the program: " N o w we award a degree on the basis of what a s tudent has done , not what he can do. This would give credit on the basis of what a s tudent can d o . "

THE BOARD finally voted to accept the proposal , which asked that the college " a d o p t the con-cept of awarding credit on the basis of sat isfactory pe r fo rmance on the college-level examina t ion program subject exams . "

The AAB assigned the task of gathering in format ion about and implement ing the CLEP to the admissions and financial aids com-mit tee.

A mot ion was passed author-izing the commi t t e e " t o proceed fur ther in this mat te r with the unders tanding that the specific details will be submi t t ed to this board for discussion and adopt ion at a later da t e . "

Hope College anchor

Election ennui Wednesday members of the Hope com-

muni ty will once again trudge down their narrow paths and enter the Kletz to cast their ballots to determine who shall be the next president of the student body. The image of the democratic spectre wi l l warm the hearts of those ever-present cynics who are known to lurk on the Hope campus.

The reason for this demonic delight is obvious even to the most tender-hearted idealists who are found beaming all over

the campus. One could legitimately ask that age-old question of American politics, "Does this election make any difference?"

The answer would be, "Probably not, but it's fun to have elections."

It is the intention of this editorial to inform the freshmen of the nature of the lifeless body pol i t ic of Hope College. Freshmen should not feel discriminated against nor upperclassmen excluded by this statement. It is merely that after watching one Student Congress election one wil l never want to watch another.

The greatest guiding principle to be found for the understanding of Student Congress elections is moderation. Modera-tion here can easily become confused wi th mediocrity. Even the most sophisticated observers have been known to commit this error.

The confusion seems to arise during the aftermath of an election or any time the sensitive mind reflects upon the actions of the Student Congress. Such confusion is occasionally understandable. Once this ob-stacle has been overcome, however, one can begin to wind one's way through the

miasma of surrealism that constitutes Stu-dent Congress.

Before examining the candidates it is necessary to casually glance at that mo-mentous structure the new president wi l l be responsible for administering. The Stu-dent Congress closely resembles a represen-

tative Tower of Babel. The inquiring intel-lect must pass its way carefully through the labyrinth of boards and committees before it can ascertain the true nature of Student Congress. A t the heart of the present structure lies chaos.

Fortunately, this chaos is powerless to actualize its potential. The reason for this lack of power is buried in the vaults of time. No doubt it stems from some primi-tive superstition about giving a represen-tative government any power.

Al l of these things are unimportant as they tend to lead the observer into incre-dulous mental anguish. What is really im-portant about next Wednesday's election is the impressive roster of candidates. De-ciding to choose one from the three poten-tial leaders is a task that cannot be taken too seriously.

The informed voter wil l realize that making a choice in this situation is indeed a painful task. Two out of the three candi-dates are amazingly similar. Perhaps this is because they are brothers. Perhaps the fact that they are both products of the same womb which they wish to re-enter accounts for their equally matched minds.

A t any rate it is safe to assume that under their leadership Student Congress would continue to entertain such burning questions as "What is to be done wi th the fraternity complex?"

The th i rd candidate is a stranger in the wilderness. He represents the voice of reform. He is a man wi th a vision of truth. Unfortunately he is not a man wi th exper-ience. This may not be a serious l imitat ion when one considers the position at stake. As a matter of fact, experience wi th the Student Congress can easily result in loss of motivation.

Three men are seeking the nonpower and dubious honor of becoming the newest president of the student body and leader of Student Congress. It is d i f f icu l t to choose among them considering that a coin has only two sides. Hopefully, though, the present wi l l be a repetition of the past, and moderation (or is it mediocrity) wil l tri-umph. Only in this way can the integrity of the Student Congress be preserved.

Divided activism The Holland Human Relations Commis-

sion is working to effect change in relations between minorities and the greater popula-tion of Holland. Its stance is primarily one of moderation. In approaching the prob-lems involved in reconciling the Anglo citizenry of Holland wi th an ever-growing minori ty population, the HHRC has opted to abandon the language of radical groups such as La Raza Unida.

Perhaps the HHRC is right. Perhaps the language of radicalism is not appropriate in this ci ty. Af ter all, there is no racial homogeneity in Holland. Here we have what might loosely be called a Latin American community, but one which is composed of certain specific interest groups whose aims are not necessarily complementary.

The Latin American Society represents the voice of moderation and liberalism. Its desire seems to be the anglo-ization of the Latin American community while still pre-serving cultural traits. In this respect it is parallel to the moderate Black of the civil rights movement.

Another faction exerting influence in the Latin American community is the Cuban population, representing approx-imately 35 families and composed of indi-viduals wi th professional credentials. The Cuban population seems wil l ing to co-operate with the L.A.S., but it does not wish to identify its interests wi th those of the Chicano population.

The third major faction is La Raza Unida, aff i l iated wi th the national La Raza organization. On the national level La Raza represents the mil i tant voice of the Chi-cano movement. In Holland, however, La Raza has chosen to subdue its rhetoric and modify its ideology. This tendency may result in the voluntary severing of the local La Raza from the national organization and its subsequent aff i l iat ion with L.A.S.

It is d i f f icul t to determine how this cooling of rhetoric and division of purpose affects the HHRC. However, it may be an indicator of the success of subtle economic and social coercion of Latins by the com-

munity at large. If so, the HHRC wil l err by fol lowing this trend.

The average Chicano in Holland is in no

position to file complaints, for if he did he might soon become one unemployed Chi-cano. His hope of ever gaining equality is

matched by the fear that any attempt at gaining this equality might result in an unpleasant situation. The HHRC can offer no protection for the Chicano. In a sense he is a man alone, wi th only a struggling movement to support him. However, the HHRC could offer him something much greater — a radical voice and a sensitive ear.

The HHRC must not confuse silence with satisfaction - or even complacency -on the part of the Chicano. It must seek insight into the plight of the Chicano that even he is unable to give.

Clearly, the HHRC cannot af ford to sit and wait for the community to come to it. Rather, if sincere in its purpose to improve the Chicano's position in the community, the HHRC must begin to ferret out the roots and methods of discrimination and coercion in the city.

Consolation The article on page two of this issue

detailing grade distr ibution for the fall semester may come as a nasty shock to Hope men. In the final tally, women trounced men 1,277 to 905 on the number of A's earned, and 2289 to 1826 on B's. It would appear that some of the myths that fire the women's liberation movement have basis in fact.

However, on deeper reflection it be-comes clear that these figures constitute an object lesson in the potentially misleading nature of statistics. Although the figures seem to indicate a clear academic superior-ity on the part of women, their failure to account for the numerical superiority of women on campus and for the relative di f f icul ty of courses taken by men and those taken by women renders them mean-ingless. Hope's male chauvinists wi l l no doubt be heartened by this fact.

Hot term papers by Art Buchwald

Copyright © 1 9 7 1 , Los Angeles Times Syndicate

One of the biggest businesses in this country right now seems to be the production and sale of college term papers. Described by New York A t t y . Gen. Lefkowitz as a mult imiUion dollar in-dustry, the selling of term papers, essays and theses has made it possible for many college students to pass courses and earn degrees never dreamed of 20 years ago.

WHILE T H E R E HAS been criticism of this by some educators, my friend Elias Fl imflam of the Institute of Instant Plagiarism defends the practice of buying and selling term papers as essential to a modern education.

"The term paper industry not only gives college students an opportuni ty to partici-pate in a great capitalist enterprise," he said, "bu t it provides jobs for thousands of moonlighting professors and graduate in-structors. I f you cut out the sale of term papers and require students to write their own, many teachers would be unable to afford to remain in our schools."

" B U T , " I SAID, " A t t y . Gen. Lefkowitz is trying to outlaw term paper companies on the grounds that students are obtaining degrees by fraudulent means."

"Nonsense. Al l the term paper com-panies are doing is providing a service to students that wasn't available a few years ago. Most college students have too much to do when they're in school. The pressures are great and as the work load increases they become more and more depressed. This leads to anger and alienation from the mainstream of our society.

" I F THEY CAN purchase a term paper an essay or even a thesis and hand it in as their own, these students are happy, and they don't want to tear down the system anymore.

"The question the attorney general must ask himself is does he want contented students who don't do their own work, or does he want an honest homework program that could tear this country apart?"

" IS THERE ANY danger that i f students cheat in school they wi l l continue to cheat in l i fe?"

"Cheating is a very strong word , " my friend said. "Le t ' s say that Prof. Apple-baum assigns a paper on 'The Abstract Theory of Solid Gas.' This might require 10 hours of research in the l ibrary, plus three hours of writ ing, not to mention typing fees.

IT TAKES THE student two hours to f ind a parking place near the l ibrary, and another two hours reading magazines before he gets around to the research. This adds up. It's t ime that could be much better spent exchanging important ideas with other people in the student union, or playing touch footbal l against another fraternity.

"The problem we have to address ourselves to is, why are kids in school? Is i t to get an education which they wi l l never use, or a degree which wil l open up a new world for them?"

F L I M F L A M CONTINUED earnestly, "What we do is take the sweat out ot college. By selling term papers to students we are removing competit ion f rom the classroom. Thanks to us it 's possible for a mediocre student to compete wi th a bril l iant student on his own level.

"Fo r as l i t t le as $10 an ineffectual student no longer has to worry about the person sitting next to him getting a better grade. I f this isn't a service to mankind, I don't know what is."

" Y O U MAKE A convincing case for the sale of term papers," I agreed, "bu t what happens when the student gets out of school and starts his profession? He could make a lousy doctor, lawyer or engineer, i f he bought all his work in college."

" I t ' s a good point, and we've been concerned about i t . So what we're doing is starting a post-graduate service. We plan to sell lawyer's briefs, doctor's diagnoses and engineering blueprints to anyone who wants to continue his education once he gets out of school.

'Beyond Freedom and Dignity9: a studied defense Editor's note: This week's anchor review is writ ten by sophomore psychology major Paul Bach. He reviews the book Beyond Free-dom and Dignity by B. F. Skinner (Alfred A. Knopf, $6.95).

That Burrhus Freder ick Skin-ner and his non-technical work is enigmatic verges on tau to logy.

HE CERTAINLY cannot be considered an original thinker , for Hullian and Watsonian psychology serve as precursors of his o w n ; his image of man smacks of Hobbes. Although in no way illiterate, he cannot be considered a scholar, for his achievements range barely beyond the labora tory .

it is there that we must search for an unders tanding of Skinner 's philosophy and his cont r ibu t ion to the conceptual iza t ion of man must be dealt with in that con-text .

TO WHAT can we a t t r ibu te his durability if not his fame? It is doubtless Skinner 's adeptness at pars imony, his ability to take the simple st imulus-response paradigm and apply it to all manner of human behavior that has earned for him considerable s tatus in the scientific c o m m u n i t y .

Skinner has consistently aligned his academic money and mou th by providing unques-t ionable empirical verif icat ion in the laboratory for his theory outside. He is a technician with the highest of credentials.

HE HAS offered to the found-ling science of psychology instant respectability in a theoretical system which is at once predictive and verifiable, it is not surprising that psychology has accepted Skinner 's o f fe r .

IF PAST laurels can be put aside for the m o m e n t . Skinner 's new book . Beyond Freedom and Dignity, is neither the manifes to for the new behaviorism nor the

epistle directly f rom a scientif ic Beelzebub it has al ternately been characterized as being.

IT IS R A T H E R a not dispas-sionate plea f rom an aging scien-tist tha t the t ru th which he has dedicated his life to finding not be ignored by a myth-r idden public. It cannot be read wi thout certain caveats, but it cannot be shunned.

At core, Skinner ' s message is not complex . He simply asks that human behaviour no longer be characterized as exclusively hu-man. T o state that a person acts the way he does because he is neurot ic , (or happy) is, in Skin-ner's verbal cosmos, innocuous. No more is known about ei ther the person 's behaviour or its cause because of that s t a tement .

R A T H E R , analysis of human behaviour must look directly at behaviour as it is a f fec ted by the envi ronment , ignoring mediat ing human states.

S K I N N E R ' S conceptual iza t ion of behaviour , then , strips credit and b lame f rom the individual as distinctly human entit ies and places the causal onus on the envi ronment , rendering both the language and the origin of behav-iour at a place more distinct, more cogent than some vague personal origin.

Skinner 's view of man is hard-nosed. Skinner 's Homo mechanicus is environmental ly cont ro l led , physiologically regu-lated. Man is d i f fe ren t f rom the rest of the animal kingdom only in his cerebral size, and the cognitive capacit ies that the size implies.

BUT THAT is not a new message. Darwin's descript ion of human lineage, if still in dispute, certainly has served to drastically alter the human self image. Hobbes told us that government was only a series of reactive

peeopd peuiew Editor's note: This week's WTAS record review is writ ten by station personnel director Bill De Block. He reviews the album Islands by King Crimson on Atlant ic Records.

A few years ago Paul Simon and Art Gar funke l wrote a song about islands (44I Am a R o c k " ) t h a t made it big. King Crimson is here with a new album ent i t led Islands that I 'm not t oo sure abou t .

KING CRIMSON, one of En-gland's bet ter known rock bands of recent years, emerged in the U.S. about four years ago. The ensemble fea tured Greg Lake as lead vocalist, Rober t Fr ipp and others holding the music together , and Peter Sinfield, the master, writing the lyrics.

Since then people have come to know Greg Lake as the bass player in Emmerson Lake and Palmer while most of the others have left to pursue o ther goals. Fr ipp and Sinfield remain as the nucleus of the 1972 edi t ion of King Crimson.

BANDS T H A T change per-sonnel so rapidly usually end up changing their sound to accom-modate the new players and their tastes. King Crimson have not changed their sound ent i re ly; but it seems that on Islands where they have changed, the music is thin and lacks substance.

The new lead vocalist of King Crimson is Boz. His voice fits in

well wi th the basic King Crimson style as evidenced in "Ladies of the R o a d , " on side two; but in " I s lands , " the title track, and "The Le t t e r s , " his voice seem to be wanting.

R O B E R T FRIPP is a very able musician on the stringed instru-ments, as are Ian Wallace on drums and Mel Collins on the woodwinds (sax, f lute , and bass flute). Peter Sinfield 's words are, as usual, deep and challenge the imaginat ion.

The sounds and visions pro-jected by King Crimson on this new a l b u m , however , cause one to wonder where the group is head-ed.

The best track on the a lbum is "Ladies of the R o a d , " a song that sounds much like " C a t f o o d , " f rom an earlier King Crimson a lbum. In the Wake of Poseidon.

" S A I L O R ' S T A L E , " on side one, is a very nicely done ins t rumenta l in the King Crimson t rad i t ion , bu t the title cut " I s lands" loses the possibility to be pleasing when an amateur t rumpe t player is added to this professional group. The result is disastrous.

For the few good songs on this album King Crimson should be c o m m e n d e d . The poor ones, though, only make me wonder where Pete Sinfield and Rober t Fr ipp 's sounds and visions are taking t h e m .

capacities, and by analogy so was man. Long before any of these Machiavelli characterized man as an ent i ty wi th which to be dealt and little more. Modern man 's mega-government and super-society have made their discrete reservations unnecessary for Skin-ner.

F R E E D O M AND dignity are vestigial mythical r emnan t s of a human past when man could af ford to delude himself. Man must now realize that f r eedom is not to be found in an internal state, but rather in actual disen-tanglement f rom the subtle con-trols society exerts on everyone every day ; that dignity is no more than re in fo rcement , ei ther ex-ternal or internal .

if f r e edom is anything, it is the a r r angemen t of reinforcing (hencefor th the layman can just as easily insert "encourag ing" or " p e r p e t u a t i n g " ) contingencies which really allow the individual some modicum of choice, and dignity can be only those activ-ities which perpe tua te the exis-tence of the human species, and are therefore dignified.

SKINNER DOES not rush to this hyper-pragmatic human image and embrace it as liberating but rather is forced to this character-ization by the realization that cont inued haphazard cul ture can only crush itself with its own disorder.

Skinner asserts that the ran-dom reinforcers of behaviour only lead to con t inued technological progress, and concurrent ly , envi-ronmenta l des t ruc t ion . Both prog-ress and des t ruc t ion are e f fec ts of behaviour and therefore dictate a new technology of behaviour . The alternative is political suppression.

EITHER MAN takes cont ro l of the di rect ion in which his society is moving and develops methodol-ogical techniques for inducing acceptible social behaviour f rom the individual or man subjects himself to the inevitable repres-sion of all deviation which has been posi ted as the solut ion by demagogues since before Nero and on through Joe McCarthy and Mao.

Skinner ' s critics are abundan t . Their crit icisms are, fo r the most part , spurious. Skinner has been faul ted with an incompleteness of con ten t ; while he speaks of the design of cul ture , n o such out l ine is made explici t .

T O F A U L T a non-technical pet i t ion to begin such a complex and labor ious process as the design of a cul ture as being inex-plicit is to miss the point . The point is tha t we know very little about behaviour , bu t we know enough to t ake cont ro l of that behaviour and direct it in positive directions.

Then the re is the re luctance to accept de terminism as the philo-sophical under ly ing assumpt ion of all of Skinner ' s work. Isn' t there some ent i ty beyond cont ro l of the envi ronment , some spiritual ent i ty which makes absolute predict ion impossible and man more than just a reactive agent? For poets and saints maybe, but no t for scientists.

IF THIS unquant i f iab le ent i ty does exist, it certainly cannot be accounted f o r in the realm of science, and is therefore irrelevant to theory and beyond cont ro l of r e in fo rcemen t .

The scientist can in good faith ignore that en t i ty and concent ra te on what is in his domain , while the theologian can rest in the fai th

that if this addit ional human characterist ic does exist , it is certainly resilient enough to with-stand the brunt of behavioral re in forcement .

IN ANSWER to the observer who is more concerned with con found ing variables which will make predict ion inaccurate than he is with spiritual enti t ies, it must be emphasized tha t Skin-ner 's determinism is not neces-sarily a strictly defined cause-effect paradigm.

IMPLICIT within Skinner 's own paradigm is the realization that re inforcement does not cause any specific behaviour, bu t rather that a reinforced behaviour has a higher probability of reoccurr ing each t ime it is re inforced. Skinner cannot be charged with pseudo-precision.

The evidence points toward one ul t imate conclusion: man is primarily a product of his envi-ronmen t , and the effect of that envi ronment can be measured and predicted. To point toward this end is not preempting research by theory as some critics have ac-cused, but is, rather, insightful realization of the present and fu tu re state of behavioral science.

WHILE QUESTIONS of com-pleteness and philosophical dis-parity can easily be answered with an honest "wait and see ," the accusat ion that Skinner 's designed cul ture would be aesthetically sterile is more serious.

The critics posit that a cul ture based on artificial r e in forcement cont ingencies would be prepon-derantly un i form and is therefore an a f f r o n t to all that is free and beaut i fu l . Bertrand Russell once wrote that the primary object ive of a society should be to o f f e r al ternatives to its citizens, that only a heterogeneous cit izenry can be effective.

THIS IS certainly no t discor-dant with Skinner, for variability within a society can be as easily re inforced as confo rmi ty , possibly more easily, considering the varia-t ion which already exists.

As to beauty: balance and cont ro l are implicit wi thin the concep t ion of r e in fo rcement , as they are in aesthetic considera-tions. But more compell ing than the argument that choice and beauty are reconcilable to Skinner is the realization that they are necessary to his designed cul ture.

Ancillary to the charge of aesthet ic sterility is the suggestion by Skinner ' s critics that language in his concep t ion of cul ture loses its nuance and its subt le ty and the re fo re is equally unaes thet ic . This is u n f o u n d e d , for Skinner has long recognized verbal behaviour as a key interpersonal re inforcer .

E Q U A L L Y u n f o u n d e d is the accusat ion that Skinner would do away with value judgment s , and the re fo re make of man an ethi-cally t enuous being. Skinner deals with this for an entire chapter . Tha t which is good will perpe tu-ate a cul ture and tend to be positively reinforcing.

Tha t which is bad will aid in the degenerat ion of a cul ture , and will tend to be negatively reinforc-ing. In shor t , if a cul ture is to survive, it must be pleasant and s t imulat ing for its members .

THE FINAL criticism of Skin-ner is the most insidious. Not ing tha t Auschwitz was a control led env i ronment , and that con t ro l of h u m a n beings is the u l t imate goal of Fascist government , Skinner ' s critics have made the none- too-

original observation that behav-iourism is easily amenable to Fascism.

They ignore the innate amen-ability of all science to suppressive forms of government . The object of all science is to control phenomena so as to make them observable and predictable. Sim-ply because the Nazis were good scientists, we cannot conclude that scientists are good Nazis.

AS HAS been said before . Skinner offers behavioral metho-dologies as an al ternative to political suppression. An Ausch-witz could not be classified as acceptable in Skinner 's value system, for the ex te rmina t ion of a subcul ture can hardly be seen as culturally perpetuat ing.

IN ADDITION, any widely implemented behavioral metho-dology would not be in the control of a selected few, but would rather be a public policy, at the disposal of the ent i re culture much like monetary exchange in our present culture. Reinforce-ment techniques would be public knowledge. There would be many able to put the bell on the cat.

Al though Skinner 's critics are for the most part answerable, his conclusions basically .defensible, his exposi t ion of those conclu-sions are not wi thou t fault . Provocation is implicit within the very title, Beyond Freedom and Dignity.

AN ATTACK on the emot ion-laden concepts of human f r eedom and dignity is not a neutral posi t ion. Skinner should have realized that to a f f ron t the pub-lic's sensibilities so p rofoundly could easily prove aversive.

SKINNER ALSO has to be faul ted with a t t empt ing to write an exposi t ion of fairly technical propor t ions , aimed at the general public and failing. He fails for several reasons.

Primarily he assumes a knowl-edge of the learning l i terature, and the successes of teaching ma-chines, programmed learning and behaviour modif ica t ion which have resulted f r o m this l i terature. The public in general simply hasn ' t this knowledge, and is the re fore left out of a great deal of the development of Skinner 's arguments .

F U R T H E R , because of his assumpt ions about the public 's knowledge, his a rgumenta t ion is sketchy where it should be con-crete. His sensibility is profes-sionally chauvinistic where it should be conci l ia tory. His lan-guage tends toward the tech-nically eccentric when it should be designed to be broadly under-s tood.

The obscuri ty that results f rom ignoring the publ ic 's previous exposure to behaviorism is evident even in this review's inability at t imes to clearly explicate just what Skinner is t rying to say wi thout resorting to psychological jargon.

GIVEN SKINNER'S miscalcu-lation, however, his general thesis is sound. Society is in danger because large numbers of human beings are acting nonadapt ively (in a manner unlikely to perpetu-ate their culture).

He of fers a cul ture which is less punishing and which is control led by human beings, in place of subhuman schools, prisons and governments . And, more signifi-cantly than any rhetor ic surround-ing it, Skinner o f fe r s behavioral methodologies that work. That is the test of any scientific theory .

Student Congress executive hopefuls Greg Pontier seeks

election as president Editor's note: The fol lowing is a transcrip-tion of an anchor interview wi th candidate for student body president Greg Pontier.

Why are you running for o f f ice? Looking at the Student Congress of this

year I f ound that it had accompl ished very few of the things that I felt should have been done. 1 th ink that S tuden t Congress must become more of a sounding board for small groups that can come to it to help t h e m do what they as a small g roup might not have the wherewithal to do .

In order to ef fec t changes on campus the S tuden t Congress must have more power and this is someth ing that 1 will push very hard to get. Hopefu l ly , S tuden t Congress could then become an effect ive agent working for the s tudents .

How would you appraise the role and pe r fo rmance of S tudent Congress so far this year?

Since I haven ' t served on congress before , 1 can only look at issues which have c o m e out into the open this year. Of course one thing that congress did manage was the adop t ion of the 4-1-4 plan which I th ink is really good , but I can see o ther things that s t uden t s have wan ted that have ended up just si t t ing more or less up in the air.

Policies on parietals and dr inking have remained unchanged . It seems to me that the most obvious reason for this delay of defini t ive act ion is the congress ' lack of power . With the facul ty review above congress and the board of t rus tees above the facul ty it doesn ' t leave the congress much room to work .

Do you feel the present board and c o m m i t t e e governance system needs re-f o r m before its full po tent ia l as the

representat ive organ of the s tuden t body is to be realized?

I think be t t e r representa t ion by differ-ent on -campus interes ts will help make the boards more representa t ive , improved com-municat ion within the s t ruc tu re of s tuden t government will help t oo .

Of course by making congress bigger it will make it more diff icul t t o communi -cate. I guess what I 'm trying to say is simply that t h e people will have to try harder .

What do you see as the key issues facing Hope s tuden t s next year?

I think open dorms, coed housing, and drinking policies ( the dr inking should have been taken care of long ago) will be the major issues. Also 1 think the college will have to address itself to the plight of incoming f reshmen who , 1 t h ink , o f t e n really don ' t k n o w just what t h e y ' r e get t ing into when they c o m e here. Overhaul ing the advisory sys tem should help tha t .

Ano the r p rob lem we will have to solve is deciding what sort of courses we should require at Hope t o d a y .

What do you think Hope ' s pol icy should be regarding r e c r u i t m e n t of minor i ty s tu-den t s and deve lopmen t of minor i ty s tuden t programs, and what should be t h e role of S tuden t Congress in de te rmin ing such policies?

I 've seen the n u m b e r of Blacks, Indians, and Spanish Amer icans who have been admi t t ed and I th ink that small n u m b e r in itself says a lot abou t the lack of pull this college has for people who are not white and middle class.

T h e college now has a p rogram for Spanish-American s t u d e n t s who come visit the campus . I don ' t know exact ly how much that is helping but 1 think i t ' s a start in the right d i rec t ion . S tuden t Congress can push for these programs.

G R E G P O N T I E R

People present ly on congress jus t may not know what the minor i ty s tuden t s wan t . At any rate they just seem to sit a r o u n d and argue that it they can come and en joy Hope why can ' t a n y o n e else?

Ins t i tu t ing minor i ty s tudies p rograms will help in the r ec ru i tmen t of minori t ies

Posthuma seeks vice presidency Editor's note: The fol lowing is a transcrip-tion of an anchor interview wi th candidate for student body vice president Ron Post-huma.

Why are you running for o f f i ce? I've always had an interest in s tuden t

government which s tar ted in j un io r high school when I was put in charge of candy sales for the s tudent council at basketbal l games. Hnjoying the political game is impor t an t fo r a s tuden t cand ida te since he must sacrifice a lot of t ime to the dut ies of his o f f ice . The exper ience I've gained while serving on CLB this year would help me get policies favorable to s tudent interests passed.

Most of all, 1 feel that 1 know a lot of kids at this school and 1 feel that my th inking on issues is qui te close to theirs. Final ly , I believe that I'd be able to fo rmu la t e their feelings into concre te pro-posals.

How would you appraise the role and pe r fo rmance of S tudent Congress so far this year?

S tuden t Congress has never been a meaningful body in the decis ion-making process here at Hope because it has no concre te power . As an advisory body and in fo rma t ion disseminator it will a lways be ef fec t ive in represent ing s tudent interests.

I feel that the d is t r ibut ion of the s tuden t activities fee and possibly the right to appoin t anchor, Milestone and Opus edi tors and the WTAS managers should be f u n c t i o n s of S tuden t Congress. With these tangible responsibil i t ies should come an increased membersh ip de te rmined partly on a residential basis. This would make S t u d e n t Congress a viable body .

Do you feel the present board and c o m m i t t e e governance sys tem needs re-f o r m before its full potent ia l as the representa t ive organ of the s tuden t b o d y is to be realized?

First of all, the board and c o m m i t t e e sys tem is designed to represent all fac t ions in the Hope c o m m u n i t y , not jus t s tudents . .Given tha t , I do th ink that the sys tem is in dire need of mod i f i ca t ion . Fo rma l commi t -tees which are on ly advisory in na tu re and mee t only once or twice a year should be d i sbanded .

However , c o m m i t t e e s such as s tudent s t and ing and appeals which have def in i te f u n c t i o n s to p e r f o r m should be re ta ined. Ad hoc c o m m i t t e e s fo rmed by the respec-tive boards could easily fill t he gap left by such c o m m i t t e e s as the Athle t ic C o m m i t -

i RON POSTHUMA

tee which has no t met yet this year , if the need arises.

What do you see as the key issues facing Hope s tuden t s next year?

Curr icu lum r e fo rm and housing are t w o key issues which should be resolved this year by the Academic Affairs Board and the C a m p u s Life Board ' s housing commi t -tee. If not resolved this year they must be dealt with next year .

Modif ica t ion of the board and commi t -tee sys tem and the s t reng then ing of Stu-dent Congress are impor t an t issues. 1 also feel that s tuden t government should be-come involved in such ques t ions as book store prof i t margins, hiring and firing of facu l ty , food service ope ra t ions and the locat ion of f u t u r e buildings such as the proposed gymnas ium. S tuden t gove rnmen t has had little impact in the past in areas like these and tha t is a s i tuat ion needing cor rec t ion , I t h ink .

What do you th ink Hope ' s pol icy should be regarding r ec ru i tmen t of mino r i t y s tu-den ts and deve lopmen t of minor i ty s tuden t programs, and what should be t h e role of S tuden t Congress in de t e rmin ing such policies?

1 feel that the greater the n u m b e r of Blacks, Chicanos , Orienta ls , Jews, Cathol ics and even kids f rom out east we have at this school the bet ter because diversity of backg rounds makes for a be t t e r inter-change of ideas and t ha t ' s what college is all a b o u t .

1 could have gone to Calvin College but 1 dreaded the t hough t because they have even a greater degree of h o m o g e n e i t y than Hope . It seems to me that the on ly way minor i ty s tuden t s can be a t t r ac ted t o this p r edominan t ly middle class, Dutch protes-tant school is by impressing upon t h e m the qual i ty of Hope educa t i on and th rough scholarships .

Minori ty facul ty m e m b e r s are also a tine a t t r ac t e r hut they are hard to c o m e by. Minori ty s tudent p rograms should be in the hands of minori ty s t u d e n t s and S tuden t Congress should in te r fe re only if minor i ty s tuden t s ask lor assistance.

What is your pos i t ion on cur r i cu lum r e f o r m ?

Being on the C a m p u s Life Board, 1 d o n ' t have a deep knowledge of any of the various proposals . In general , however , I'd favor any proposal like the one which came out last year which kept an adequa te n u m b e r of r equ i remen t s to insure a broadly based liberal arts educa t i on while al lowing s tuden t s a greater degree of f lexibi l i ty in fulfi l l ing those r equ i rement s .

Do y o u th ink any ma jo r changes should be m a d e in the col lege 's present housing a r r angemen t s and regula t ions?

As a member of the C a m p u s Life Board ' s ad hoc c o m m i t t e e on hous ing , I 'm qui te interested in hous ing changes. I 'm f i rmly c o m m i t t e d t o sexual in tegra t ion of the college d o r m i t o r y locat ions , which would get some girls d o w n here on the sou th end and some guys on the nor th . Also 1 think living un i t s should have a much greater say in the rules which they are going to abide by , l ike parietal hours .

Do you favor changes in the col lege 's regula t ions governing use of a lcohol ic beverages?

Yes. What do you th ink the re la t ionsh ip of

the college to the c o m m u n i t y should be? The college should serve the chu rch as

the e d u c a t o r of its y o u t h . This educa t i on should not be designed t o inculcate stu-den t s wi th all the values of the R e f o r m e d Chruch but to show t h e m t h e world as it is and let t h e m f o r m u l a t e the i r own op in ions . In relat ion t o the Hol land c o m m u n i t y the college should seek more o p p o r t u n i t i e s for mu tua l coope ra t i on .

and also help whi tes unde r s t and just w h a t ' s going on . 1 th ink more courses like Dr. Reedy ' s on the Amer ican Indian would be great. Perhaps if H o p e seeks teachers who would be more a t t rac t ive to minor i ty s tuden t s it would help. 1 know that if 1 were a Black or Ch icano or Indian coming on c a m p u s 1 would be very upt ight .

What is you r posi t ion on cur r icu lum re fo rm?

1 d o th ink that t he re should be curr icu-lum r e fo rm. So o f t e n it seems that courses we have to l ake don ' t really have any th ing to do with what we really wan t . Al though we c o m e here to get a liberal e d u c a t i o n , I think that classes we don ' t en joy taking really don ' t help us. I 'm in favor of reducing the n u m b e r of r equ i remen t s un-less the college can f ind new courses tha t will be more wor thwhi l e .

Dean Rider ' s and Dr. Dykst ra ' s pro-posals look in teres t ing. It" these proposals are presen ted proper ly to the s tuden t s and the s t udy of r e fo rm cons iders what will be most wor thwh i l e to Hope ' s s tuden t s , 1 think that s o m e c o m b i n a t i o n of the new proposals has a good chance of passing. Dyks t ra ' s course on the o r ien ta t ion of s tuden t s in to liberal educa t i on seems t o be a big improvemen t over his present in t ro-duc to ry course .

Do you th ink any ma jo r changes shou ld be made in the col lege 's present housing a r rangements and regula t ions?

I th ink its abou t t ime that not only the coed housing be ins t i tu ted but also that the f r e shmen get moved out of Kollen hall. The ra t ionale for pu t t i ng the f r e shmen in Kollen Hall was to let t h e m get to k n o w the m e m b e r s of their class.

But you k n o w as well as 1 do that y o u really end up just ge t t ing to know well the people on y o u r wing and a few above and below you . I think its hard enough just being a f r e shman but being in the zoo that is Kollen Hall is even harder .

Dykstra Hall , with the clusters with separate b a t h r o o m s , would make an excel-lent coed d o r m . It 's a b o u t t ime that the girls and guys were not separated by a block. If we can ' t get coed housing next year then we should at least begin 24 hou r parietals.

Do you favor changes in the col lege 's regulat ions governing use of a lcohol ic beverages?

Yes, 1 do . Wednesday night the pe t i t ion for the tavern on Nin th Street got shot down and tha t was supposed to be some-thing that m a n y s t u d e n t s and 1 th ink S tuden t Congress as well was hoping for . Now, more than ever, we need to al low dr inking in t h e dorms .

We now have a f ine sys tem for s t u d e n t s who are un ru ly even if t h e y ' r e not d r u n k . 1 don ' t th ink we can hide behind the fear that s t u d e n t s won ' t be able to hand le themselves in the i r o w n rooms .

At presen t , d r ink ing in the f ra t houses is a lot easier t h a n , say, in Kollen Hall. Th is unequal t r e a t m e n t can only lead to m o r e p rob lems .

What do y o u th ink the re la t ionship of the college t o t h e c o m m u n i t y should be?

$peak out on major issues for ?72-'73 Bob Schellenberg makes bid for president's seat

Editor's note: The fol lowing is a transcrip-tion of an anchor interview with candidate for student body president Bob Schellen-berg.

Why are you running for off ice? Working in Student Congress, 1 have

seen that there is a lot of potential for get t ing things done . However, certain chan-ges will have to be made before it can fully realize this potent ia l .

As I see it. S tuden t Congress is presently an organizat ion with noth ing to do. There must be a realignment of power which would enable Congress to exert pressure which will bring about change.

One way the S tudent Congress could exert more power is by being allocated more money . If the college were to allow S tuden t Congress to decide, for instance, how monies f rom the present s tudent activities fee were to be used, they could gain needed responsibil i ty and s tudent in-terest.

How would you appraise the role and pe r fo rmance of S tuden t Congress so far this year?

In my opinion, the present S tuden t Congress has proved largely ineff ic ient . Perhaps by streamlining the c o m m i t t e e s t ruc ture and giving the S tuden t Congress more power we can remedy this s i tuat ion.

Do you feel the present board and c o m m i t t e e governance system needs re-f o r m befo re its full potent ia l as the repre-sentat ive organ of the s tudent body is realized?

I think that the present board s t ruc ture is fulf i l l ing its goals, but the commi t t e s o f t e n face apa thy and lack of purpose. This is evidenced by the library commi t t e e which met once and decided to dissolve.

Make-work commit tees should be eli-mina ted and the subsequent reduct ion of Congress members would allow the admit-tance of representatives f r o m housing units and o t h e r areas wi thout enlarging the body .

What do you see as the key issues facing Hope s tuden t s next year?

The big thing coming up is the housing s tudy. Coed dorms and the redistr ibution of housing units fo r men and women seem very possible at this point . Making Kollen Hall coed by f loors has been discussed.

Part of the problem will lie in deciding who may live off campus. Obviously, the college canno t allow its housing units to go partially unoccupied , and this will limit the possibilities somewhat .

Another major issue is drinking on campus. As t ime goes on I hope that people will become accus tomed to 18-year-olds drinking.

What d o you think Hope ' s policy should be regarding recru i tment of minor i ty stu-dents and deve lopment of minor i ty s tudent programs, and what should be the role of S tudent Congress in de termining such pol-icies?

I think Hope should def ini te ly empha-size the recru i tment and development of porgrams for minor i ty s tuden ts . This is much easier said than done , though. What it comes down to is that we must make Hope at t ract ive to minor i ty s tudents to get them t o come. We must look at the successful programs being used elsewhere to get ideas (personnel , cur r icu lum, etc.) for our own .

S tuden t Congress itself does not have much actual power in this area except through the boards . S tuden t Congress could suppor t this as the voice of the s tudents . Also, Hope ' s best selling-point for recruit ing s tudents is the s tudents here now.

What is your posi t ion on curr iculum re fo rm?

The contrac t curr iculum was a good step. Its ef fects will be valuable to those s tudents (probably not very many) whose needs call for " spec ia l ty" in their curricu-lum.

As for o ther areas, we must be con-stantly looking at our programs as the needs change. I would like to see a thorough review of the language require-ment . When the major i ty of summer lan-guage s tuden t s at Grand Rapids Junior College are Hope s tudents , quest ions should be asked.

Do you think any major changes should be made in the college's present housing ar rangements and regulat ions?

The present housing program is coining up for review this spring. As a member of the review commi t t ee , I see a lot of work that needs to be done on various problems that will come up. For one thing, the "girls on one side of the campus , guys on the o t h e r " s i tuat ion should be changed.

Kollen Hall is not exact ly an ideal living s i tuat ion. In this area 1 could see more single r o o m s or even coed housing by wing or floor. Remodel ing cost is a prohibit ive factor fo r doing much else with Kollen.

i

BOB S C H E L L E N B E R G

The parietal hours are working well. 1 would like to see more of an arrangement where s tudents with the same ideas about hours would be more concent ra ted in the same living units.

Do you favor changes in the college's regulat ions governing use of alcoholic be-verages?

The whole quest ion of allowing alcohol on campus brings up the quest ion of how we should consider the role of the age of major i ty at Hope. This was brought up earlier in the year in the Campus Life Board and was soundly defea ted .

However, a t t i tudes on drinking are a complex issue and 1 don ' t know if anyone really knows the posit ion of most s tudents .

1 favor allowing the use of alcoholic beverages on campus but feel that it may take some t ime before a change can be brought abou t . The position of the college as a Christ ian inst i tut ion must be consi-dered. For instance, how will this affect the a t t i tudes of alumni and con t r ibu to r s to the college?

I don ' t see drinking on campus as so large an issue that we can allow it to take precedent over the college's overall image. However, 1 don ' t see why Hope must be an enclave where no drinking is allowed when everywhere else in the state 18-year-olds can exercise their rights as adults.

Excuses can be made that Hope stu-dents can go to Skiles and The Pub, but everyone knows how crowded they are. Some s tudents may prefer mixed drinks that they could prepare in their rooms.

If the decision is made to allow drinking on campus , 1 think that past exper ience with dealing with disorderly activity will show that our present con f ron t a t i on policy-will provide any needed disciplinary mea-sures.

What is your impression of Dr. Van Wylen?

I like Dr. Van Wylen and am impressed with his experience as a college administra-tor . He seems to have qualit ies that will allow him to effect ively work with alumni, the church, and the c o m m u n i t y . I don ' t see any repressive regime coming.

Van Wylen seems to be sensitive to s tudent needs. However, 1 d o n ' t think that we should be deluded in to th inking that the college will be gaining a new fa ther figure.

What do you see as the chief responsi-bility of your off ice?

Certainly a major part of my job will be keeping s tudents on campus in formed on just what S tudent Congress is doing. Se-condly, I would try to commun ica t e to the adminis t ra t ion, facul ty and governing bodies s tudent needs which have been expressed to me. Congress should act as a sounding board for the needs of the cam-pus. Student Congress and its president can be the focal point of s tudent input .

Thirdly, the Student Congress president should act as an ambassador of the college, speaking off campus and presenting an adequate picture of what Hope College is all about .

Also, the president must act as a uni-fy ing force in Congress, bringing together the boards to act as a sounding board to a variety of input .

What do you think the relat ionship o! the college to the c o m m u n i t y should be?

Simply because the college is in Hol-land, Michigan, we must have a good rapport with the c o m m u n i t y . Subtle differ-ences in a t t i tudes between the communi ty and the college will always exist, but we must seek out c o m m o n goals to unify us.

Lauver seeks vice presidency Editor 's no te : The fol lowing is a transcrip-tion of an anchor interview with candidate for s tudent body vice president Jerry Lauver.

Why are you running for off ice? 1 want to get involved in campus govern-

ment. 1 feel that the major i ty of s tudents at Hope are really not concerned about Student Congress and the problems they deal with. Of ten just a few s tudents do all the work of Congress. If elected I will try to increase s tudent involvement in the body.

How would you appraise the role and per fo rmance of S tuden t Congress so far this year?

I think they 've done a really good job . Most of the work done in the boards and commi t t ees has helped forward the goals of the s tuden ts .

Do you feel the present board and commi t t e e governance sys tem needs re-form be fo re its ful l potent ia l as the repre-sentat ive organ of the s tudent body is realized?

More communica t ion is needed between the large body tha t is S tuden t Congress and the commi t t ee s under it. More s tudent response is needed also. The people in government have to k n o w what the stu-dents want .

What do you see as the key issues facing Hope s tuden t s next year?

Drinking, parietal hou r s and academic reforms will be the things most on the minds of Hope 's s tuden t s next year.

r J

J E R R Y LAUVER

What d o you think Hope ' s policy should be regarding recrui tment of minor i ty stu-den t s and development of minor i ty s tudent programs, and what should be the role of S tuden t Congress in determining such poli-cies?

If the adminis t ra t ion would actively seek qualif ied minori ty facul ty it would

make Hope much more a t t ract ive to minor-ity s tudents looking for a school . 1 think minori ty s tudents on campus would also en joy living together . The Black house is a step in this direct ion.

What is your posit ion on curriculum reform?

I think many of the present required courses legitimately fulfill the goals of a liberal educat ion, but s tudy on this issue may bring new and fresh ideas. Improve-ment of the contrac t curr iculum to make it available to more s tudents is also needed.

Do you think any major changes should be made in the college's present housing arrangements and regulations?

We should try to bet ter integrate wo-men and men here. Coed d o r m s is a good idea. Enlargement of parietals seems essen-tial for next year.

Do you favor changes in the college's regulations governing use of alcoholic be-verages?

I think people on campus tend to make this issue bigger than it really is. Expansion of Holland's tavern facilities is needed, but unti l that happens I d o n ' t t h ink we should allow drinking on campus to compensate for the lack of space at a bar.

What do you th ink the relat ionship of the college to the c o m m u n i t y should be?

I think tha t Higher Horizons and the Great Pe r fo rmance Series are good ex-amples of the c o m m u n i t y and Hope working together . Adul t classes held on campus for the c o m m u n i t y might also be explored.

Mark DeRoo seeks Student Congress presidency

MARK DE ROO

Editor's note: The fol lowing is a transcrip-tion of an anchor interview wi th candidate for student body president Mark DeRoo.

Why are you running for off ice? I think you first have to look at what

the role of a student body leader is. Over the past three years here at Hope, 1 think that I have established a pret ty good rapport with the faculty and the s tudents .

1 think that we are all aware of the issues here on campus and what the s tuden ts ' needs are. F rom this aspect, 1 think that 1 can bring someth ing to the s tudent body and to the Student Congress. 1 can work cooperat ively with the s tudents and really get something done.

How would you appraise the role and per formance of the Student Congress so far this year?

To be quite honest , 1 expected some more things to be done. I can't say anyth ing specific. I felt when we ap-proached the beginning of the year that it would be a very exciting year. I thought that we would accomplish a lot in the area of housing and perhaps the drinking issue. Really nothing substantial has been done.

On the whole though 1 think that this year has proved to be beneficial if only because we started to see more interest in the Student Congress. More s tuden t s look at congress and examine its role and more a t tend the congress meetings, which 1 think is encouraging.

Do you feel the present board and commi t t ee governance system needs re-fo rm before its full potential as the representative organ of the s tudent body is to be realized?

As you are aware, the commi t t ee and board s t ructure of the college is under review. This includes the three policy-making boards and the various commit tees . It is hard to say exactly what has to be done,

1 think that some of the commit tees could be el iminated. The library commi t t ee has already been el iminated, and 1 feel it is t ime to examine all the commi t t ees and to of fer some alternatives.

Perhaps ad hoc commi t t ee s could be created if there is a defini te need for t hem.

This has been under discussion by the s tudents and the facul ty . What will happen is hard to say; the facul ty has not met this mon th to discuss the matter . It will go before the Administrat ive Affairs Board and something should come out of tha t .

1 have to look at the role of the Student Congress as a body. Right now it doesn ' t have anyth ing to do. What 1 would like to see in s tudent government is be t te r repre-senta t ion .

A cross section of the s tudent body with perhaps more representat ion f rom s tudent dorms other than just a mere election process for the candidates at large, might be somewhat more representative. 1 would also like to see more use of s tudent government by the s tuden t s themselves. In this manner 1 think that s tudent govern-ment might be more effect ive.

What do you see as the key issues facing Hope s tuden t s next year?

There are a number of issues. 1 think that coed housing has to be looked at closely. At the momen t it is being studied by Dean Gerrie 's commi t t ee . 1 think that this is the first step that has to be taken. You have to see how many s tudents are really interested in coed housing and you have to look at the facilities available.

Another issue we have to review is the academic requi rements that the college has at the m o m e n t . I think that Hope College could s tudy the problem by compar ing our program with o ther liberal arts ins t i tut ions of the same size and the same background.

1 think that ano ther issue is f reshman or ienta t ion at the beginning of the year. I think that it 's been very unfair in the past . The way that the facul ty have assisted the s tudents in the past has been very poor . Half the t ime it seems as though the faculty is not aware even of what the requi rements are. It is essential that the s tudent have some knowledge of what is expected of him. He needs help in selecting the subjects that he needs. At the momen t I think new f reshmen are not really aware of what their subjects will be like.

1 think that ano the r thing we have to address is the s tuden ts ' activity fee of $75 which the college imposed on the s tudent body last year . If you mult iply this a m o u n t by the number of s tudents on campus , it approaches $160 ,000 . The s tudent activi-

ties c o m m i t t e e itself has a budget of only $12 ,000 .

I feel that the s tudent body should approach Mr. Handlogten and ask for a d o c u m e n t e d report of where the money is going. If the money is not going to s tuden t activities, I th ink it should be included in tu i t ion, no t imposed as a so-called activities fee.

I th ink the s tudents have been very upset with the cultural affairs activities which have been going on . I think that by having more s tudent -or ien ted activites, it would be t te r meet the needs of s tuden t s want ing to a t tend them.

One minor issue would be the parking lot at the corner of Twel th and Columbia . I th ink that it could be conver ted to s tuden t parking. Right now it serves just facul ty and s taf f . There are somet imes only five or six cars there and someone should be able to use tha t parking space.

A n o t h e r minor issue would be the rule that f reshmen cannot have cars on campus . This really imposes on the s tuden t ' s social life.

A n o t h e r issue is the availability of the S tuden t Congress to Hope s tudents . We should l o o k at the role of the S tuden t Congress and how effect ive it is. S tuden t Congress is there, but the s tudent is not really aware of the power that he has th rough the Congress. He can use the various commi t t ee s and more impor tan t ly go th rough the various courts. He can propose anyth ing that he wants th rough the various boards . Not only tha t , I th ink the s tuden t representat ives will hear what the s tuden t has to say and suppor t his proposal .

What d o you th ink Hope ' s policy should be regarding rec ru i tment of minor i ty stu-den t s and development of minor i ty s tuden t programs, and what should be the role of S tuden t Congress in de termining such poli-cies?

I th ink there should be more minor i ty representa t ion . Hope College says that it is a liberal arts college and this implies exposure of its s tudents to various social pressures and d i f ferent a t t i tudes . This is part of a liberal arts educa t ion . In this area I th ink perhaps there should be more rec ru i tment of Black and Chicano s tuden t s and o ther minori ty s tudents , as it will benef i t t he college c o m m u n i t y as a whole .

I th ink that it is t oo hasty to say tha t we need a minor i ty program at the m o m e n t because you have to look at the n u m b e r of minori ty s tudents on the campus now. First you have to examine needs and the areas in which minor i ty studies could be of fe red .

We also have to s tudy the potent ia l of the facul ty and staff of the college. If there were enough s tudents interested in it, 1 th ink tha t the college would be able to have a minor i ty program.

What is your posi t ion on cur r icu lum r e f o r m ?

1 th ink we should compare ourselves with o the r liberal arts colleges who have tried changes. Dr. VanderLugt ' s and Dr. Dyks t ra ' s proposals are the most encou-raging since they reduce the n u m b e r of r equ i rement s suff ic ient ly yet mainta in enough courses in the t radi t ion of the liberal arts educa t ion .

Dean Rider 's proposal regarding credit for high school courses also has merit . Hssentially, aspects of all the proposals should be considered in creating a new curr iculum. However, the proposals must be considered soon.

Do you think any major changes should be made in the college's present housing ar rangements and regulat ions?

The present rules of the college state that no one will be allowed off campus until all the facilities are filled. I think that seniors and juniors should be given the right to move off campus . I believe that Dean De Young has stated that all s tudents that are juniors this year and want to live off campus next year will be allowed to. That is encouraging.

In regard to coed housing, I would say that we are taking the best approach by having Dean Gerrie 's c o m m i t t e e look at the facilities. There are s tuden t s on the com-mit tee and they are doing a very thorough survey of the p rob lem. I don ' t think that they will be delivering any report unti l April.

I do not favor placing women in the f ra te rn i ty complexes . The f ra te rn i ty com-plex was made to house the f ra terni t ies and should remain so.

If there is a d e m a n d for mixed housing tha t ' s fine, bu t I th ink tha t you have to look at the facilities available and approach it f r o m that angle. I th ink that everyone seems to be ra ther pleased with the s t ructure of campus housing as it is.

Do you favor changes in the college's regulat ions governing the use of alcoholic beverages?

I am suppor t ing the Campus Life Board 's decision made this fall. I am looking at it f r o m three aspects. I approach it f r o m the role of the college and the rights of eighteen year-olds. I am also looking at it in light of the goals of Hope College. The eighteen year-old has the right to drink and at the same t ime the college has the right to prohibi t alcohol on campus. Fullfilling the goals of the college is most impor t an t .

Hope College wants to develop its s tudents to the fullest e x t e n t . I think tha t if alcohol were allowed on campus , it would infringe on the rights of some. I feel that the present policy is working ou t f ine. S tudents are pe rmi t t ed to dr ink off campus and I think tha t should remain that way.

What do y o u th ink the relat ionship of the college to the c o m m u n i t y should be?

I th ink there should be construct ive commun ica t i on be tween the c o m m u n i t y and the college. I th ink tha t a lot of people in the t own look d o w n on the college as being t oo liberal. I th ink this may be alleviated somewha t by the hiring of Van Wylen as pres ident . I th ink tha t he is going to develop very close c o m m u n i c a t i o n b e - 1

tween the college and the c o m m u n i t y . I th ink tha t the c o m m u n i t y will be able

to iden t i fy wi th him be t t e r t h a n with o the r presidents in the past . I t h ink the relat ion-ship of the college and ci ty is going t o be enhanced very soon .

Hope ' s env i ronmenta l g roup on campus is working wi th the needs of Hol land. Var ious church and religious func t ions have been and should be main ta ined .

Greg Pontier seeks position of president

continued from page 6 As I see it now there is no relationship

between the college and the c o m m u n i t y . Holland is a place where everybody goes and spends their money and the t own flourishes and the residents don ' t even seem to know that Hope exists.

I don ' t think that Holland has a bad opin ion of the college. On the con t ra ry , I th ink Holland sees Hope as a nice Christian college. But I don ' t th ink Hope really has f ound a place in the Holland of today .

When I worked in the dra f t center we tried to get Spanish-Americans to come

and part icipate. But we just d idn ' t seem to have anyth ing of value to say to them and they cou ldn ' t seem to relate to us. We just weren ' t a part of the same c o m m u n i t y .

Hope should try to reach over its boundar ies a little. Why don ' t members of the c o m m u n i t y come to part icipate in s tudent church? How can we create more programs like Higher Horizons?

There seems to be so much that could be done in this area. Hope should be able to serve the c o m m u n i t y . Hopeful ly the c o m m u n i t y will then take an active interest in what we are trying to do.

Imperialism by Neal Freedman

Last week I implied that U.S. imperialism abroad is related somehow to affairs on a local level, besides merely the killing of o f t en t imes innocent american soldiers. This seems patent ly clear to us, but un fo r tuna te ly not to others . Some don ' t even unders tand the na ture of imperialism itself.

MANUEL SORI V O L U N T E E R E D to give a short s ta tement on these two subjects. In order to prevent any misunders tandings of his s t andpo in t , he warns the reader, "I am politically commi t t ed , not ideologically c o m m i t t e d . "

N.F.

I ask you now: What does U.S. imperialism abroad have to do with radical political activity at the "grass roo t s " level?

Imperialism: the art of subjection. Imperialism can be defined as an extension of power , economic and mili tary, of one kind or another . Today, we speak of the increasing polarization between what are popularly referred to as the " h a v e " states and the "have-no ts" , that is, be tween the super-industrialized n a t i o n s - t h o s e people who are scien-tifically advanced, and the developing nat ions - t h o s e who are backward or marginal.

ANY ATTEMPT TO DIVIDE the world between east and west (i.e. be tween commun i sm and western christian democracy) is a deliberate a t tempt to escape the reality of the economical and political oppression suffered by the masses of most develop-ing nat ions under the exhaust ing weight of capital-ist-imperialists, whether these be of a godless or christian doctr ine .

Such a t t empt offers the comfor t of jus t i fying oppression behind the facade of ideological warfare.

IN S H O R T , IT IS easier to def ine the " th i rd wor ld" as a complex of ideologically non-aligned states than it is to admit , as most super-industrialists would have to , that these states have been the prime targets for a systematic decimat ion of natural resources and human volition which has been going on since the 18th century , had a t r emendous impulse in the post-W.W.II era, and has reached its young apex with Vie tnam.

Thus " imper ia l i sm" has come to mean individual concerted act ions on the part of the ideologically defined super-powers designed to economically cont ro l the developing nat ions: it is a scientific and systematic internat ional process.

KOREA P R O V I D E D A GOOD example of an imperialist experience. The first Soviet and Ameri-can forces arrived in Korea in August and Septem-ber of 1945. Basically, the in tent ion of both powers was to "help Korea help herself ." Up to this time (since the Sino-Japanese war of 1894-5) the Koreans had been under the economic, social and political control of Japan.

The mission of the super-powers in 1945 was to " l iberate Korea" f rom the fe t ters of the Japanese

Empire. However , in order to accomplish this , an earlier phase was n e e d e d - t h e people had to be taught how to govern themselves.

ONLY A F T E R LEARNING this could Korea be free. Twenty-seven years have passed and Korea still hasn' t learned. Af ter all this, what has been made to appear an ideological tug-of-war be tween com-munism and democracy still successfully hides the ugliness of in ternat ional aggression.

"Divide and c o n q u e r " is one rule of the imperialist . It is seen not only in Korea, but in Vietnam and Berlin, to ment ion only t w o of many examples .

THE ALLEGATION THAT imperialism is ideologically distinguishable rests on the basis that the only dif ference between communis t ic (i.e. U.S.S.R.) and democra t ic (i.e. U.S.) imperialism is to be found in the techniques through which imperialism is realized or ex tended within each ideological f r amework .

However, a l though the techniques may differ , the result is the same: a real sensation of human c r u e l t y - t h e constant companion of the economi-cally and politically oppressed.

BUT IT SEEMS THAT in the process of describing imperialism we have given it an exclu-sively in ternat ional def in i t ion. This may be the case for imperial ism, the concept , but certainly not for U.S. imperial ism, the experience.

U.S. imperial ism, among other things, has been misinterpreted to mean " the e f fec ts of imperialism on areas outs ide the U.S." As such, one can hardly conceive of imperialism as affect ing us; particularly economical ly .

BUT IT DOES, and to this ex tent , imperialism is as much a national as it is an internat ional experience. To take one example , increasing econo-mic imput in Vietnam has, for the past decade, been a major determining factor in the domest ic econo-mic t rends of the U.S.

Historically, increased investment in foreign affairs, especially in war, has had substant ial impact on wage, price, or e m p l o y m e n t trends. An escala-tion of involvement in war is sure to guarantee increasing industrial product iv i ty . Big business and the man on the assembly line are bo th a f fec ted by U.S. imperialism abroad.

IT IS A VICIOUS cycle, but we cannot deny the existence of imperialism at home as much as we can avoid it abroad . Imperialism, lashing at its own c r ea to r s - consc ious and unconscious a l i k e - i s as much a national and, most impor t an t , a local reality, as it is an internat ional p h e n o m e n o n .

It is t ime the people realized that the gears of social non-a t ten t ion are constant ly oiled by the failure to recognize the e f fec ts of imperialism at h o m e - w h i c h touch down as far as the grass roots level. Perhaps it is f rom this level of political action that imperialism should be fought .

Hope, Athenian college consider study program

by Clarke Borgeson

Hope ' s in te rna t iona l educa t ion commi t t e e last Wednesday au thor -ized Dr. Paul Fr ied , d i rector of in ternat ional educa t ion , to devel-op plans fo r an exchange program with Pierce College in Athens , Greece.

ACCORDING T O Fried, t w o essentially d i f fe ren t programs would be open to Hope s tudents . One program would o f fe r a year of s tudy in Greece at Pierce.

An alternative program would be a five and one half m o n t h s tudy program with Greece Inc., located at Pierce.

BECAUSE OF Hope ' s calendar change next year, t he prospect of inst i tut ing a fall semester s tudy program in Greece is impossible, Fried said. Pierce's semester ends Jan. 30, while Hope ' s spring semester s tar ts Jan. 1 5.

The year long s tudy program at Pierce would o f fe r course work in the areas of social sciences, arts and humani t ies . Fried indicated. In add i t ion , it would provide s tudents with cul tural experience in the s tudy of modern Greek language, he said.

Course instruct ion at Pierce is done in English.

STUDIES AT Greece Inc. are designed to bring the American s tudent into direct contact with

the people , language and his tory of modern Greece , Fried s ta ted .

Course of fer ings are in the areas of ar t , b o t a n y , compara t ive l i terature, d rama and economics . Other courses are f rom the fields of educa t ion , envi ronmenta l science, h i s tory , music, philos-ophy , psychology and sociology.

G R E E C E INC. 'S program allows the s t u d e n t to more or less develop his o w n course of s tudy . Fried said. It o f fe r s classroom experience at Pierce as well as field and j ob p lacement studies.

The program would be o f fe red in t w o sessions, one beginning in June and ending in December , the o ther ex t end ing f rom January to July . Total cost fo r the program is $2200.

TUITION, F E E S for private ins t ruc t ion , lodging expenses and board , as well as field placement expenses, are included in this fee, Fried said.

The cost of the year exchange program at Pierce College would be about $2800 , which includes tu i t ion, room and board. Accord-ing to Fried, if enough s tuden t interest is genera ted , the exchange program could be initiated by next fall.

S tuden t s interested in more details concern ing these programs may contac t Fried in the inter-national educa t ion off ice .

'Apostolic anarchism':Mathews'

answer to Freedman's reply Comrade F reedman ' s co lumn

of Feb. 1 2 has once again proven to us misguided pseudo-socialists that ideological pur i ty is alive and well in the person of Neal F reedman . Despite the doctr ine of " F r e e d m a n Infal l ib i l i ty" I wish to point ou t some "radical e r ro r s" I feel Neal has c o m m i t t e d .

I SHOULD STATE at the outset that I in no way mean to " d i s o w n " American you th . Such an act would seem to be an impossibility even if one under-goes "se l f -purga t ion ."

The first serious error 1 have detected in Neal's co lumn is his belief that "socialist revolution requires that each member of the movement be his own vanguard ." This is a s ta tement of apostol ic anarchism, not socialism.

IT IS TRUE that each member of a socialist movement must be c o m m i t t e d , but the c o m m i t m e n t must be to the movement , not to some reif icat ion of the movement in himself.

Left is ts f rom Lenin and Trotsky back to Marx have always stressed this. Seeing one ' s self as the vanguard can easily lead to the "cult of persona l i ty , " hardly a proper func t ion of socialism.

In addi t ion I would like to state that 1 am not calling for a "mass movemen t . " What I could advocate is the fo rma t ion of a unified socialist party free f rom the fact ionalism that now alien-ates the Left f rom itself.

THE WAR IN Indochina is not the big issue." For the Left the

"big issue" must always be the

class struggle and the des t ruct ion of the capitalist system which creates such imperialist ic confl ic ts as the war.

I have not purposely ignored " au then t i c revolut ionary ac-t ivi ty ." Nor am I oblivious to what is happening in o ther parts of America, especially Detroi t .

NEAL IS C O R R E C T when he surmises that I am not unduly impressed by the current political activities of the groups he men-tions. I might hasten to add that the American Independen t Party and the John Birch Society are engaged in " t o u g h political ac-t ivi ty ."

Af te r six years of exposure to the Young Socialist Alliance, I cannot ignore t h e m , yet I would hate to have to rely on t hem. Their local organizat ions tend to be too self-contained to bring about effect ive action even in their own communi t i e s .

AS FOR THE possibility of organizing here, perhaps my eyes have been open a trifle longer than Neal's. The reality of Hol-land presents a grim political spectre. Where would suppor t come f r o m ?

Possibly f rom the scab labor unions that suppress their mem-bers? Perhaps f r o m the members of minori ty groups struggling against white liberalism (or radical concern)? Perhaps f rom the city government? Maybe Neal antici-pates suppor t f r o m the radical Hope campus.

Such a group as Neal proposes organizing, wi th its purpose to gain a t t en t ion for a t t en t ion ' s sake, has for me the tin ring of the typical collegiate nouveau radical.

ON THE QUESTION of sep-arating the "pol i t ica l wheat f rom the c h a f f " it is indeed refreshing to discover that Neal considers himself pure enough to do this. No doub t this is the result of the a fo remen t ioned "se l f -purga t ion ." It is one of the great tragedies of history that Neal was not in ei ther Moscow or St. Petersburg to instruct Lenin and Trotsky on who was right.

One final word , this one personally to Neal. It applies, however, to every spec t rum of the Left. We must remain critical but we cannot a f f o r d , at this point , to degenerate in to fact ional ism. We must never forget the class strug-gle or the l iberation of the proletariat of e i ther America or the world.

There is more to socialism than spelling America like Franz Kafka did. Remember , Neal, you may be " rad ica l " in 1972 but you could easily . become. . . a " l ibera l" by 1984. * y

How can a campus be Chris t ian? Last week 's c o m m e n t s in this c o l u m n dealt only wi th a part of the s tory . It raised the ques t ion of how the campus can be Christ ian in so far as by " c a m p u s " we mean a c o m m u n i t y of persons.

I DO N O T think we have t o o many problems with tha t . Without forc ing any th ing t o o much , one can argue that there are some p re t t y central ingredients in the Christian life style which greatly enhance t h e qual i ty of individual l ife, and the qual i ty of in terpersonal relat ions.

But a campus is no t merely a c o m m u n i t y of persons; m a y b e it is only incidental ly that . Campuses are designed as places of learning. And it is i m p o r t a n t that we raise the ques t ion how a campus can be Christ ian if by " c a m p u s " we mean a place of intel lectual inquiry - what goes on in the classroom.

W H E T H E R a campus in that meaning can be Christ ian is much more moo t . But part of its reason fo r being m o o t is that we have been given the kind of meanings for a c lassroom's "be ing Chr is t ian" which are not very clearly e i ther Christ ian or soundly academic .

Still, I am ready to s t rongly defend the propos i t ion that a c ampus can be meaningful ly Christ ian also in what happens in classroom inquiry. But I want to say very careful ly what this can proper ly mean, w i thou t damaging ei ther the meaning of being Christ ian or the meaning of intel lectual inquiry .

T H E EASIEST part of this is the negative part ; to point ou t one meaning of being Christ ian in intellectual inquiry which it would be terribly deficient to defend , ei ther on Christ ian or on educat ional grounds. And this has t o be said blunt ly and hones t ly .

I, at least, find it qui te impossible to find any item in the biblical l i tera ture f r o m which one could predict that there would be, or infer that there should be, a college at all. The only educa t ion which any th ing in the Bible envisions is training in religious beliefs or in the pract ice of virtue.

THE E D U C A T I O N A L system as it now exists among us simply does no t occur even as an imaginable possibility t o biblical writers. It is*no more envisioned than are General Motors , Wall St reet , or the Teamsters Union , or the National Footba l l League.

S o m e things appear in his tory certainly as not in any explici t way divinely m a n d a t e d , bu t simply as what appear t o be at the t ime the needed devices fo r get t ing the world ' s work done or achieving what we come to be convinced is well wor th achieving.

SO TO T R Y to read such biblical passages as "loving God with the m i n d " or man ' s "having domin ion over the c r e a t i o n " as e m b o d y i n g any kind of m a n d a t e fo r an educa t iona l en terpr ise as we now k n o w it is specious hermeneut ics .

But if we cannot f ind even the exis tence of a college as a place of inquiry manda t ed by biblical beliefs, it is a fortiori precar ious to f ind Biblical direct ions f o r what specific things can happen in a discipline.

N O T H I N G IN the Bible will help a physicist answer the puzzles abou t the na tu re of quan ta , or help the biologist to de te rmine whe ther he gets fa r ther t reat ing organisms as mechan isms or as teleological organisms, or help the musician de te rmine whe ther Beethoven 's music is be t te r than that of J o h n Cage, or help the ph i losopher to know whe ther he ought to be an empiricist or rationalist .

Consumer report

But then the re are a f ew things that reasonably speak with relevance to what happens even in a c ampus c lassroom. These, however , speak less to the c o n t e n t and methodo log ies of our established disciplines than t h e y do t o some basic a t t i tudes we take t o what we accompl ish in those disciplines In this c o n t e x t ( b u t str ict ly only in this one) l am willing t o buy tha t grand old Calvinistic concept of being in the world t o "glor i fy G o d . "

BUT T H E N this must be given a little bit of body .

One i tem in this is tha t whatever we hold or do must be held or d o n e responsibly. We are n o U n the world as persons who are t o ourselves our ends-in-themselves. We are here , in whatever we do fo r ends that he beyond ourselves. In the old vernacular of religion, life is a " s t e w a r d s h i p " - and I would suppose tha t means inf ini te ly more than just giving a l i t t le money n o w and then to the church o r to missionaries.

WANTING someth ing f o r ourselves is, in the Christ ian scheme of things, never the final jus t i f ica t ion fo r doing it. Life is responsible - a t rust . And nowhere is this more strictly applicable than in an ins t i tu t ion of learning.

And I would suppose that what that specifically means, by our present best insights, is that whatever we do is judged f o r its impact on human well-being - in any one of the thousand ways in which what people do can a f fec t that well-being in any of its meanings.

" L I V E T O D A Y so that there can be better t o m o r r o w s for more peop le" could well be a mot to in which Christ ian fai th and all our academic pe r fo rmance could unite . Maybe a campus needs to be Christ ian to k e e p this c o m m i t m e n t clearly before it.

The second th ing that is deeply Christian is the convict ion that in the world there are no absolutes, and tha t to suppose that what we do is in any way absolu te is to c o m m i t possibly the most compre-hensive (by biblical cri teria) evil of all - the evil of idola t ry .

IF G O D R E A L L Y is G o d , then nothing else can be; if God is abso lu te , then no th ing else is. (But if God is, we do no t need to worry that no th ing else is.)

That does no t mean the silly skepticism which argues tha t if someth ing isn't absolutely true, it canno t be t rue at all. Everything we do is, t o ' be sure, someth ing ; bu t nothing we do is everything.

THE WAY T H A T applies to the academic program is clear. It means t w o things. It means that , fo r any of our disciplines, n o n e of them is all there is. Physics is no t everything, German is not everything, psychology is no t everything, and (shudders ! ) even phi losophy is not everything. (Someth ing , su r e ly ; j u s t not everything.)

But this means also tha t , wherever we have go t ten today in anyth ing , there is a lways more to do. All our learning, at any stage, is finite learning. 1 > think this is what Chancel lor VanderLugt has been t rying to get us to k n o w for the past t w o years, in his e loquen t plea that in all our learning we remain eternally sensitive to the presence of the Mystery -the as -ye t -unknown looming b e y o n d even the best we k n o w .

The awareness of the f ini teness of our knowl-edge, I would plead, is not only excellent Christian p ie ty ; it is excel lent educat ional ph i losophy . But maybe a campus has to be Christ ian to keep this c o m m i t m e n t clearly before it, too .

Insurance firms bilk youth Editor's note: The fol lowing is an article prepared by Consumer's Union, an organization which gathers and publishes consumer information. It deals wi th mis-leading claims made by insurance companies that seek to sell policies to students.

Unless a college s tudent has chi ldren, as a rule he should not buy life insurance. In fac t , says the n o n p r o f i t Consumers Union, " t h e last thing most college stu-dents need is life insurance . "

THE EXCEPTION would be the b readwinner on w h o m chil-dren will be dependen t unt i l they grow up. Despite this atypical c i rcumstance for a s t uden t , the Consumer ' s Union has f ound that " t h e life insurance agent has be-come a familiar figure on many campuses . "

An indust ry survey of more than 3 0 0 life insurance companies showed that 20 percent of the f i rms had sales programs aimed at college s tuden t s and young pro-fessionals, most of these not yet earning enough to pay the pre-miums.

I N S U R A N C E men have their sales pitch so p rogrammed that they can o f t e n turn the fact that the s tuden t is unable to a f fo rd

insurance in to a selling po in t . Says Consumer ' s Union , " t h e y ap-proach the p remium paying prob-lem by of fer ing to f inance the first annual p r e m i u m , and fre-quen t ly the second, with a loan to be paid off perhaps five years l a te r . "

The interest on that five year loan is payable at an annual rate of 6 to 8 percent or more . In many plans the po l icyholder pays interest on the in teres t , too . Con-sumer ' s Union said.

THE CONSUMER organizat ion repor ted a $10 ,000 policy sold by Fideli ty Union Life of Dallas in 1970 to a 21-year-old s tudent purchaser who paid an annual interest rate of 8.5 percent . The c o m p o u n d e d f inance charge on the first year p r emium loan of $151 amoun ted to $76 .07 .

F r o m the credi tor ' s s t andpo in t , such loans are among the safest imaginable, says Consumer ' s Union.

SOME POLICIES include a miniature e n d o w m e n t policy built in. At the end of five years, the insurance c o m p a n y gets most of the cash value in p a y m e n t of the pol icyholder ' s deb t .

The promissory no te itself has built in to it an accelerat ion clause,

a typical fea ture of retail install-ment contrac ts . If the s tudent fails to pay any p remiums on t ime, the lender can demand im-mediate p a y m e n t of the ent i re loan. The f irm holding the promis-sory note can readily ob ta in a cour t j udgmen t order ing p a y m e n t .

E N T I T L E D "Caveat E m p t o r on C a m p u s , " the report warns tha t as with most retail credit agreements , an insurance policy f inancing no te may be impossible to cancel. Life insurance is customari ly sold f o r a year at a t ime. When a s tuden t is persuaded to buy a policy and sign a f inancing agreement , he is com-mit t ing himself to buy a full year ' s p ro tec t ion .

Companies selling many college policies o f t e n set up special agents in college towns. They like to recruit as salesmen popular campus figures such as f ra te rn i ty leaders, recent ly-graduated star a thle tes , f o rmer coaches and even facul ty members and administra-tors .

ONE P R O F E S S O R at Michigan S ta te University repor ted that some s tuden t s he interviewed d idn ' t know they were signing a con t rac t c o m m i t t i n g them to buy insurance.

GLCA to offer urban studies for fall 72

A course on compara t ive urban problems will be of fe red during the fall 1972-73 term by the Great Lakes Colleges Association and Ant ioch College, according to a spokesman f r o m the college.

THE 12-WEEK program, which will begin in mid-September , will take approx imate ly 26 GLCA stu-dents to five European metropoli-tan areas. Part icipants will s tudy city planning with special em-phasis on exper imenta l new towns. " S t u d e n t s will seek to un-cover possible solut ions for the organizat ion of human communi -ties in count r ies whose social, economic , and political values and systems cont ras t with those of the United S ta tes , " an Antioch spokesman said.

A F T E R AN in t roduc to ry ses-sion in the new town of Colum-bia, Maryland, the group will fly to Amste rdam and spend 10 days at a nearby conference center where they will s tudy urban theory and take field trips.

The group will then travel to Belgrade, Yugoslavia, to study city planning in a socialist coun-try. The s tudy group will also go to S tockho lm and to Finland to visit the new town of Tapiola.

In London the s tudents will par t ic ipate in an intensive pro-gram of lectures, discussions and field trips, fol lowed by a period of unprogrammed individual and team study.

(CPS) - Ward Warren is 22. He is the youngest " se l f -made" mil-lionaire in the c o u n t r y - perhaps in the world.

HE S T A R T E D Termpaper , Inc. in Boston just one year ago with a staff of f o u r ; " jus t me, two ex-VISTA workers , and a legal secre-t a ry . " Now there are 100 off ices in America and Canada .

There is money in termpapers . IT WOULD be easy, then , to

say Ward Warren is in it for the money . But he isn ' t . At least he says he isn ' t .

And some fairly hard evidence would indeed tes t i fy that this young man has o the r things up his sleeve. Things like completely re-volut ionizing the American uni-versity/college system.

" I S T A R T E D Termpaper , Inc. with the idea of bringing about massive educat ional re form. 1 want to make the American uni-versity de func t by 1976.

"By '76 I will have the means, the technology and the manpower (he claims his company has more Ph.D. 's and M.A.'s employed pro-por t iona te ly , than the Rand Cor-pora t ion) to do it.

"My system will thoroughly res t ruc ture the s tudent - teacher re-lat ionship and, consequent ly , the sys tem."

But let 's regress momentar i ly . Right now Warren is engaged in buying and selling te rmpapers - a controversial subject among A-merican educa tors and s tudents .

" W E ' R E STRICTLY a research service," says Warren, a chubby , every-mother ' s -son- type who was dressed for this interview in an unfashionable blue sport coat , a tieless psychedelic shirt and chun-ky black 1950 malt-shop shoes.

One is inclined to think of Warren's business as a "research service" in the same terms one regards a garbage collector who calls himself a "sani ta t ion engi-n e e r " - with ex t r eme skepticism.

BUT HE stresses the poin t ; " L o o k , " he points to a sign on the far wall of Termpaper , Inc. 's spar-sely sett led, func t iona l San Fran-cisco of f ice , " t h a t ' s our m o t t o -'We Don ' t Condone Plagiarism!'"

"We are a research facility. I t 's been proven that very few of the s tuden t s who buy a paper f rom us immedia te ly turn it in. They in-variably re-structure it, re-write it, or use it for reference.

" I F A STUDENT comes in here and it 's obvious that he is going to use the paper stupidly or dishonest ly, then we won ' t do business with h i m . "

Te rmpaper , Inc. has about 2 ,000 people writing for it now. Once accused of having a style that , according to one professor, " y o u could smell a mile a w a y , " this diversity of cont r ibut ion has made it hard for teachers to spot t hem.

ALSO, WHERE they once de-voted their e f fo r t s almost entirely

to undergraduate research papers , they are expanding now - in fact , only 60 percent of their business is built a round undergraduate pa-pers.

The expansion lies in several interesting fields: graduate papers, doctoral theses, corpora te re-search, and finally. Warren's spe-cial project - an advanced un ique educat ion system tha t , in his words, "will make the university in America defunc t by 1976 . "

" Y O U KNOW, i t ' s the lazy teacher who is afraid of us: the teacher who uses the term paper to constr ic t the s tuden t , or who uses it because it is the conven-tional thing to do.

" T h e term paper is o f t en just a procedural smokescreen for the professor to hide behind. They don ' t have to face the hazards of dealing with the s tudent on a human level, on a level that would cont r ibu te to the s tuden t ' s educa-t ion, to his awareness of l i fe ."

Committees report

Human relations group reviews reform progress continued from page I

conduc t ing of a c o m m u n i t y poll on the issue.

THE C O N F E R E N C E ' S housing group expressed a need for city registration of landlords and their p roper ty . It was hoped that this would facil i tate inspect ion of rented p rope r ty in the c i ty .

Wendell Rooks , housing com-mittee cha i rman , repor ted that his c o m m i t t e e has submi t t ed a pro-posal to the city planning commis-sion to investigate the implemen-ta t ion of such a program.

CITY MAYOR William Lamb indicated that this type of regis-trat ion is carried out in Kalama-zoo and many other college towns. "Th i s seems to be a viable answer to the problem of dis-covering subs tandard housing in the a rea , " he said. " T h e planning commission will have to give the mat ter more invest igat ion," he added.

"T iming is right for the imple-menta t ion of registering landlords and more intensive inspect ion and c o n d e m n a t i o n / r e n o v a t i o n of p roper ty in the area ," Lamb said.

" F O R T H E FIRST t i m e , " he added, "Ho l l and will have readily available al ternat ive housing for persons displaced f r o m con-demned houses. The HAZA and 40 th West complexes represent that a l te rna t ive ."

Bopf told the anchor he esti-mates that some 160 substandard houses now stand in the Holland area. "Of that number approxi-mately 4 0 should be torn d o w n , " he said.

MANY O F these houses are presently unoccup ied and the city hopes to buy these houses.

The city manager added that the city would resell these homes, probably at a reduced price, to local builders and real tors for renovat ion and subsequen t resale. Lamb has asked that a $ 5 0 , 0 0 0 - $ 7 0 , 0 0 0 appropr ia t ion for buying subs tandard housing be

included in the '72-73 city bud-get.

THE CITY council will an-nounce the proposed budget somet ime in May, Lamb said. At that t ime residents will have an oppo r tun i t y to voice thei r opinion on this issue, he added .

The HHRC's housing com-mi t tee was also assigned the task of compil ing a bookle t outl ining the rights and responsibilities of tenants and landlords.

THIS BOOKLET would be widely circulated in the c o m m u n -ity and would conta in informa-tion gathered f r o m s ta te and local sources, according to Rooks . Gon-zales is presently researching the pamphle t and Rooks has an-nounced a target date of June 1, 1972 for comple t ion of the book-let.

" A n overriding t h e m e of the November meet ing was the ex-pression of need for addit ional educa t ion of local school teachers on various aspects of the Chicano cu l tu r e , " said Dr. Sheldon Wet-tack, associate professor of chem-istry and chairman of the HHRC's educa t ion commi t t ee . "This gen-erated the idea to init iate some type of in-service training for area teachers , " he said.

WETTACK SAID in a report submi t ted to the H H R C that his commi t t ee decided to combine e f fo r t s with the ins t ruct ional council of the Holland public schools.

A c o m m i t t e e of HHRC per-sonnel , members of the Spanish c o m m u n i t y , and representat ives of the Ins t ruct ional Council was fo rmed to plan the in-service training sessions. The group will meet Feb. 24 to begin developing a program for late spring, Wettack indicated.

WETTACK ALSO repor ted on a program of employing teacher aids in Holland schools. Twelve such posi t ions have been filled, he said, and added that all of the aids

have Spanish surnames. Wettack remarked that this action had been taken as a direct result of e f fo r t s made during and af te r the November confe rence .

In addi t ion , representat ives of the Holland public schools will travel to the southwest s tates today to seek qualif ied Spanish teachers. The educa t ion commit -tee, Wettack said, had provided the district with in fo rmat ion re-garding potent ia l sources of Span-ish teachers.

AT THE suggestion of the H H R C , Hol land 's Christian schools have begun night courses on various aspects of the Chicano cul ture fo r adults . " I t is h o p e d , " said Wettack, " t h a t such courses may help improve Anglo-Chicano relations within the c o m m u n i t y . "

" A n o t h e r idea which was pro-posed at Marigold Lodge concerns the exchange of teachers be tween Holland and Spanish dominated communi t i e s , " Wettack said. " N o specific ac t ion by the educat ion commi t t e e has been taken on th is ," he added.

" H O W E V E R , " Wettack said, the commi t t e e has maintained contac t with Hope ' s educat ion de-pa r tmen t regarding a possible stu-dent - teacher program in such a c o m m u n i t y . It would seem that involvement of cert i f ied teachers as an ad ju s tmen t to this program might be a f u t u r e possibility, he said.

EMPLOYMENT CHAIRMAN J o h n Donnel ly was not available for Thursday ' s meeting. Donnelly told the anchor Friday that his g roup had not met since the Nov. 6 meet ing ( t he g roup had decided to meet again t w o weeks af te r the Marigold conference) .

The e m p l o y m e n t group had been charged wi th the implemen-ta t ion of a s tudy t o discover unfa i r e m p l o y m e n t pract ices in Holland 's businesses and industries. Measures suggested at the meet ing included a survey of j o b appl icat ions in indus-

try as well as e f for t s to de termine which employers in the area are actively seeking new minori ty em-ployees.

D O N N E L L Y TOLD the anchor that the HHRC has enlisted the help of Hope senior Jeff Aldrich. Aldrich will conduc t a survey of city merchan t s to determine how many minor i ty group members are employed in Holland sales posit ions.

A n o t h e r issue examined by the e m p l o y m e n t group at the Novem-ber conference was the need for the post ing of city j ob openings. Bopf told the anchor that this idea had not been implemented but assured this reporter that the city would soon be adopt ing this pract ice.

BOPF SAID that under the new Emergency Employmen t Act Holland had hired 25 new em-ployees, most of whom were ei ther f r o m a minori ty group or had served in the armed forces.

Bopf said the federal EEA pro-gram had given Holland $240 ,000 in aid to suppor t the hiring of minor i ty workers and veterans. Al though the EEA grants will lapse in a year and a half , Bopf seemed conf iden t that all new employees would be able to stay on.

THE CITY has raised the n u m -ber of minor i ty people on the

police force f rom three to nine under the new bill, Bopf said. The bill also f inanced the hiring of the ci ty 's two minori ty liaisons, Gon-zales and Sandoval, Bopf added .

Alex Rivera, chairman of the government -communi ty relat ions commi t t ee of the HHRC repor ted Thursday that his group has not met since the November con-ference either. Rivera explained that he was unable to arrange a t ime when all the members would be available to meet .

THIS GROUP was charged with s tudying the possibility of gett ing election ballots pr inted in Spanish and English, researching new avenues of communica t ion between the city and the Latin c o m m u n i t y and beginning work to make the HHRC a char ter commission.

IN AN ANCHOR interview yesterday Rivera expressed doub t that any significant change could be e f fec ted through legal channels here. " T h e route to change th rough government is simply not open to us here , " he said.

"When we try to get something accomplished it gets smothered in a f lood of red t ape , " he explained. "If the Latin C o m m u n i t y of Hol-land is to make any real steps toward achieving equal i ty , it will have to come th rough other mea-sures," Rivera added.

We do not actually write the finished assignment since that would deprive the student of valuable educational experience and defeat the very purpose for writing for oneself in the first place. We will provide oackground information and bibliographies which rank with such tools as the College Outline Series and encyclo-paedia reference services available only with expensive sets. Limit of one draft at small additional charge, per semester per student in good standing. We cannot answer any question which we feel requires the advice of a doctor lawyer, architect, engineer, or other licensed practitioner' nor can we advise concerning your financial investments' fNeither can we undertake market research or surveys or provide home study courses.
