Waiters "Out to Lunch" Does Spent? How Are Hoose An Impulsive Action

The chairmen of the Annual All-College Sing held in the Civic Center last Saturday evening should be commended for a job well done. The Sing is an excellent idea because it gives the campus social organizations an opportunity to work together and allows the community to attend a worthwhile college event.

Because so much effort is put forth by each society and be-cause so many townspeople and parents attend the sing, it is unfortunate that a black shadow should be cast on it by one number. The formal atmosphere was well-preserved until the Freshmen women concluded their song at which point the mood turned, not to the informal, but to the grotesque.

Slater Waiters, dressed in most ridiculous "uniforms" took over the stage and created a mood of general disgust with their unusually poor and trite jokes.

The slapstick comedy was further carried on by some wierd noise composed of 15 or 20 verses, supposedly a song. Even this type of thing might have been excusable had it been short and to the point. Indeed, some of the quips and puns were good. But repetition of jokes, phrases, and actions only exaggerates the monotony of poor entertainment.

Were the tension of competition eased with a clever, humorous skit, it would serve its purpose and be enjoyable. But what hap-pened Saturday night was repulsive. The audience expected Lucille Ball-type pie throwing at any time. Unfortunately, we were not disappointed. When the judges returned halfway through this "special" and sat in the front row, they were greeted with a roll (the kind students are expected to consume in the dormitory) heaved by a "waiter". As if throwing garbage were not enough, some waiter began playing golf with a roll and cane.

This garbage throwing climaxed the unoriginal attempt to amuse, leaving a bad impression of Slater Waiters, an embarrassed audience (including judges), and a stage littered with bread.

If we expect to be treated as adults, if we are to be allowed to use our own judgment, then this type of incident must be eliminated from the annual Sing.

Monday 3/6/61

Today we had our third late

minute taken away. Tomorrow

it will be four, and so on each

day. Why? Because we have

refused to pay our dorm dues

for this semester.

The counselor, the House

Council member collecting the

dues, the House President—none

of them can tell us where all

the money from last semester's

dues went or where all this

semester's money is going. To

us, $1.50 times the number of

resident women is a lot of mon-

ey to have disappeared to no

one knows where.

Neither of us would mind

paying the dues were they to

be used for purposes beneficial

to us. We attend no dorm

parties (they only have had one

all year and it certainly didn't

cost $100!), and we never see

the newspaper which is supposed

to be at our disposal in Phelps.

Why then must we pay them?

But more basically, why collect

them at all if they are not

being used? Where is all the

money going? Where has it

gone from past semesters when

it was not used?

Some months ago a letter

appeared in The Anchor con-

cerning taking away late min-

utes for offenses other than

lateness. The Dean of Women

and the Women's Council and

Boards remained silent even af-

ter the editor's request for a

reply. Could it be that they

could not defend their actions?

The establishment of the 15

late minutes per semester was

a great step ahead and those

in charge are to be commended.

How do they draw the connec-

tion, however, between not pay-

ing dues and taking away late

minutes at the rate of one a

day? Where are these rules available for our inspection?

The actions which have been taken against us were not de-fensible in themselves. Does the previous silence on the matter illuminate the fact that they were not just? Will those in-volved remain silent now?

We await the next issue of The Anchor to see!

Yours truly,

Lois C. Bonnema

Civil Service Exams Will Be Given April 15 The United States Civil S e r -

vice Commission has announced that applications may now be made for the 1961 Federal Ser-vice Entrance Examination. The next test will be given April 15, and the last one on May 13, 1961. The closing date for tuni-ing applications is April 27, 1961. Application forms may be obtained from the college place-ment office, or the post office.

Juniors or seniors in college, or students in graduate school may, by passing this exami-nation, gain entrance into sixty different career fields. About 5,000 appointments are made each year from this examination. These appointments become ef-fective upon graduation from college or graduate school.

Appointees have the oppor-tunity to work on programs of

national and international im-portance which offer interesting and exciting possibilities. While being trained for positions of responsibility and leadership, the successful candidates earn attractive salaries with regular raises and advancement based on merit. They also have the opportunity to gain professional recognition in their chosen fields, while enjoying the many "fringe benefits" for Federal employees*

To qualify in the general ex-amination, all candidates must pass a written test designed to measure their potential for car-eers in the Government. In ad-dition, to achieve Grade GS-5, which pays a salary of $4,345, candidates must have completed, or expect to complete within 21 months, a 1-year college course leading to a bachelor's

degree; or have three years of appropriate work experience; or have any equivalent combin-ation of these two.

For Grade GS-7, $5,355, candi-dates must have completed or expect to complete in 9 months, one year of graduate study, have one year of experience at the GS-5 level, or have an equiva-lent combination of these two. Candidates may also be rated eligible for grade GS-7 if they achieve a high score in the written test and possess either a "B" average or rank in the upper 25 percent of their class.

Applicants should take the test as soon as possible in order to have their names entered early on the lists of eligibles. All additional, needed infor-mation will be sent after the application has been received.

Dear Mr. ,

Dumping five to fifteen copies of a magazine in a wastebasket (or whatever you did with them) is undoubtedly not an action over which you are likely to have spent hours of indecision. It was rather, apparently, an ac-tion of the moment; the product, like most human actions, of a hasty or perhaps almost un-conscious decision. In this, you and I are on common ground.

No one, facing a situation which appears to demand his immediate response, can retire from life and expect the situa-tion to remain unchanged while he chooses his course of action.

But, on the other hand, to act with no regard whatsoever for the consequences of one's actions, is unjustifiable. A man who so acts is called irrespon-sible, for responsibility consists precisely in this: to act from an awareness of consequences of action, so far as those con-sequences can be known or sur-mised or even guessed at.

And there, Mr. , is where we part company. To act responsibly is to act de-fensibly, and it is my contention that you have done neither.

This, as accurately as I have been able to determine, is what you did: Slightly more than two weeks ago as this letter is

Note There were two articles in

the last issue of Expression magazine that were not sign-ed. This was due to an over-sight on the part of the typist. The author of the chapel service was James L. Michmerhuizen, the author of "Comments On the Honor Code" was Robert E. Lee.

published, in the evening, you entered the lobby of Kollen Dorm and went to the desk, where a small stack of Ex-pression magazines had been left with the customary glass jar taking the place of a clerk.

You picked up a copy and began leafing through it, per-haps idly, perhaps in search of something. At any rate, you came to a poem on the last page, and your eyes stuck there. The poem, titled "Song That Should Have Music Put To It," appeared to make mockery of your deepest religious beliefs— those which are more or less shared by most of your fellow students,, the faculty, and the administration of Hope College.

By this time several other students had gathered around the desk. Most of them felt that the poem was indeed blas-phemous; a few disagreed, and a discussion ensued.

I am glad for your sake, Mr. , that disagreement

and discussion took place. For, had it not taken place, your present position would be ex-actly that of the leader of a lynching party. As it is, there are more than a few similarities: I suppose that, as is commonly the case with leaders of lynch-ing parties, you would have some difficulty remembering whether it was on your own initiative or at someone else's suggestion, that you confiscated the remaining magazines. I am not at all familiar with lynch-ings, and can think of no pre-cise equivalent for the fact that you neglected to pay for those copies you took.

This is as much as I know.

I do not know, for instance,

what you did with those copies

of Expression. I don't even

know exactly how many there

were. But you must agree that

these matters are, after all, un-

important.

I am puzzled by your action.

What did you mean by it? Was

it symbolic of an attitude? Cer-

tainly it had no practical signi-

ficance: what did it accomplish ?

Did it destroy the poem? No,

for there are several hundred

copies already sold, and several

hundred remaining.

Was your failure to pay for

the copies you confiscated in-

tended to assert some real or

imagined authority you have

over printed material on cam-

pus? If so, I should appreciate

your telling me what office you

hold, and why we have not

heard of your activities before.

Or was it your intention to

show, once and for all, that

there can be no honor system

at Hope?

It is with actions as it is with words: they are tools for expressing oneself. Both are intractable, stubborn, wilful. To force them to say what we want them to, is not an easy task. Your action in this matter has been, as I say, puzzling. It does not seem to have been intended as any sort of coherent response at all. As a matter of fact, it appears to me, for a number of reasons, to have been incredibly stupid.

(1) It can only have been based on a complete misappre-hension of the tone of the poem. "Song That Should Have Music Put To It" is not a particularly good poem; neither, however, is it a coded message that must be specially translated for the ordinary reader. It would not even have been necessary to find out from its author just what he meant.

You need only have read the poem carefully aloud, to dis-cover that, in its own way, it is as bitter an attack on the Lauderdale-for-Easter attitude as you could have wished.

(2) It was self - evidently hasty and ill-considered. What-ever office you may or may not« hold, you exceed your authority. The fact that some of the stu-dents present realized that the poem was not blasphemous, should have introduced a degree of caution into your action.

(3) Suppose for a moment that the poem actually had been blasphemous; is evil in this world so all-powerful that one half-page poem can outweigh the five-page chapel service that was printed elsewhere in the magazine? Would it not have been better simply to rip the last page form each copy?

Enough. Your action, hasty, ill-considered, touched with an aura of illegality, useless, has been shown finally to be ludi-crous and inappropriate.

If, however, I have misstated any pertinent facts, or if I have omitted any, or if you in any way wish to defend your action, I invite a reply in the pages of this newspaper. If you do not wish to defend yourself, you may apologize on paper, pri-vately or publicly as you wish, both to the author of the poem and to the editor of Expression.

Very sincerely yours,

James L. Michmerhuizen

Our Cultural Lag EHerts Others! P. & ||||, Presents by Carol Sikkema

"Riots in Japan Threaten President's Life!" "Allies worried About Decline of American Prestige!" "Soviets Attack United Nations over Lumumba's Death!" These representative headlines are bscoming far too common and they all reveal that there is something startling wrong with America's foreign policy. It is time we look at our problems in an overall perspective to improve the basic policy rather than just stressing those of individual countries after trouble has started.

A Cultural Lag William F. Ogburn introduced his theory of cultural lag by

referring to it as "a situation in which one part or phrase of culture lags behind another and causes imbalance or disharmony in society." We live in a period of revolutionary change in every aspect of life, and it has also been a period of decay which chal-lenges us to once again begin a building up process. For too long a period our policy has been one of reaction instead of construction. Part of this has been due to cultural lag.

Dean Acheson, former Secretary of State, in a seminar with our semester group stressed his view that we in America are living like our great great grandmothers in the stable nineteenth century. According to Acheson, "Our world is dead! Dead as a duck, but yet it is still going around!" Our "spectacles" for looking at the world are still focused through the memories of power being based in six European countries. We have been much too slow to realize that power has been moving Eastward, which has not left a vacuum, but a mass of chaos. We no longer have a "balance of power, but a balance of terror."

Under-developed Countries Important The problem of cultural lag is especially significant in our

relations with under-developed countries. The central problem is one in which the people have a desire for progress, but there is a wrench as they often have a stronger desire to keep their past values. This can be clearly demonstrated in the case of Afghanis-tan where the citizens want modern factories, but they refuse to work in them as they might get their hands dirty.

Also many of the leaders in under-developed countries suffer from a degree of schizophrenia as they must intricately balance their wishes to improve their respective countries, but on the other hand they cannot afford to loose touch with their people as re-bellion will be the only result it too many changes are made too fast.

Rostow in his excellent book "Stages of Economic Growth" points out that we must be aware of these lags in our own country and more importantly in the under-developed countries. The emphasis of our aid should be in helping these countries through a program of continuity and consistency from one stage of develop-ment to the next and not just when they are in the "take off stage."

Two Schools of Internation Relations Closely inter-related and inherent with this problem of cultur-

al lag is the basic controversy between two schools of theory in international relations. The first group feels that our policy should be built on the principles of morality, and the course of action should always be based on furthering the objectives of indepen-dence, freedom, peace, friendliness, and a belief in justice.

The roots of such a policy would be found in the values of democratic nations with the policy being directed by and for the interest of the people involved. The weaknesses which ramify from this school is its unrealistic nature, and the creation of inflexi-bility by building an image of a moralistic nation which in many instances does not advance the chances for survival.

The second theory is that of realism, and this group argues that there is danger if we deal in abstracts and do not actively function in specific areas. This school also emphasizes that if a moralistic image is built up, but is in fact untrue, the world will suffer from more shock similar to that experience with the U-2 incident.

There does seem to be a practical answer in this controversy, and our hopes for improving our international relations seems to rest in accepting this compromise between moralism and realism. Dr. Charles Fenwick, leading international lawyer of the Organi-zation of American States in a discussion of this compromise, and proposed a plan in which we would start in our relations by work-ing with common people in sanitation, housing, and education projects. In this way realistic goals could be achieved in an at-mosphere of ultimate moralistic goals. It should be remembered that progress is slow, but we should meet our chalenges with "firm determinim and high idealism."

Next Birthday Party to Be lues. Once again on March 14, at

5:30 p.m., the Julianna room will be transformed into a party atmosphere for boarding stu-dents with birthdays in March, June and July.

The birthday party last month was for those with birthdays in December, January and Feb-ruary. The theme, Mardi Gras, was carried out by decorations of a net full of gayly colored balloons, streamers and ticker tape. The menu consisted of grape juice, shrimp cocktail,

pate de foie de poulet, southern fried chicken, peas and cauli-flower, steamed yams and relish-es. For dessert ice cream puffs were served.

Dinner music was provided by a Hope College combo. The nine piece combo played every-thing from soft, sweet music to Dixieland. Three people re-ceived a birthday cake and 7-Up to take home. The 141 guests at the party took home a small box of chocolates as a birthday present.

"The Royal Gambit" The Royal Gambit, an un-

usual play by Herman Gres-sieker, will be produced by the Palette and Masque Players on March 23, 24, and 25 in the Little Theatre. Historically the subject is King Henry VIII and his sijc wives, but philo-sophically the ideas transcend time and reach into the modern age.

The setting and lighting will be designed by Mr. James De Young, Instructor in Speech and English. Period costumes for the production are being de-signed by Mrs. De Young. The entire production is under the direction of Mr. David Karsten, Director of Theatre.

THe cast will be led by Bob Fisher as Henry VIII, followed by his six wives. In order of appearance they will be Ruth Van Der Meulen as Katarina of Aragon, Marilu Walter as Boleyn, Louise Zjawin as Jane Seymour, Lois Bonnema as Anna of Cleves, Linda Walvoord as

Kathryn Howard, and Barbara Walvoord as Kate Parr.

The stage manager for The Royal Gambit will be Bob Dun-ton. Working under him will be Bob Wait, John Dunn and Karl Jicha. The lighting crew will be headed by Tom Oosting with c r e w members Carolyn Mack, B. J. Berghorst, Cal Ryn-brandt, and Don Kardux.

Makeup will be handled by Lois Bonnema with Ginny Mort-enson and Jeanne Ferb assist-ing. Ruth De Boer will head the costume crew and her as-sistants will be Mary Bosch and Mary Jane Veurink. Donna Davis will handle the music and sound effects. A1 Nicholai will be the Business Manager for this show.

Crew assignments have been completed, however interested people are always welcome in the Little Theatre. Openings are still available for this show in Makeup, Costumes, Publicity, Ticket Selling, and Ushering.
