(iroundbreaking for the Student Cultural-Social Center may not take place before Commencement, according to President Calvin A. VanderWerf. At Homecoming, the President had predicted that ground would be broken "before the summer break." He cited two reasons for the postponment. First, the final blue- prints have not been returned. Architect Charles E. Stade is now revising them in accordance with reactions from students and the Board of Trustees. The original blueprints were drawn in Febru- ary, taking into consideration re- commendations of a combined student - faculty - Administration committee. HOWEVER, the major cause of the delay, said Dr. VanderWerf, is the fact that the college has not yet been awarded the $708,000 federal grant for which it has applied. The application has been approved by the state of Michigan and is now awaiting favorable action in Washington. According to Dr. VanderWerf, the application will be denied if groundbreaking takes place be- fore the grant was actually award- ed. Therefore, the ceremony must Frats, Sorority Help Muscular Dystrophy Drive Five social fraternities and one sorority have made do- nations to the Turtle Interna- tional Muscular Dystrophy Drive.

This may happen "any day. The decision may come as suddenly as the approval of the loan for the new Science Build- ing," the President said. If approval is not given before Commencement, the ceremony would be put off until another appropriate occasion. However, Dr. VanderWerf noted that the date is subject to approval by the Board of Trustees. ACCORDING TO Director of Business Affairs Clarence J. Handlogten, the other major source of funds for the SCSC is the Capital Funds Drive now be- ing conducted by the Reformed Church in America. The antici- pated income from this is $2 mil- lion. Private contributions for the structure totaled $150,000 at Homecoming. Mr. Handlogten also an- nounced that plans are presently being made to remodel Voorhees Hall. This is a change in the Mas- ter Plan unveiled at Homecoming, which called for the razing of the dormitory. It is hoped that a working dia- gram of the changes will be sub- mitted to the Administration to- day so that bidding may take place next week. Planned improve- ments include enclosing the in- terior stairwells, installing new window sashes and replacing much of the heating electrical and plumbing apparatus. The work will be completed this summer if all the preliminary pre- parations go as planned a n d if the needed equipment is readily available, according to Mr. Hand- logten. MR, HANDLOGTEN said that construction of the new dormitory on the corner of Ninth St. and Columbia Ave. is going "very well." Construction is proceeding a week ahead of schedule and he has every hope that the build- ing will be completed by the pro- jected construction date of Sep- tember 9.

He will assume the position of Chairman of the Fine Arts De- partment of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. IN MAKING the announce- ment, President VanderWerf said: "It is with regret that I must an- nounce the resignation of William S. Mathis as Dean of Academic Affairs at Hope College. "Dean Mathis has accepted a position as Chairman of the Fine Arts Department of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. His post as Chairman of this new Department, encompassing the areas of music, art and drama, will enable Dr. Mathis to devote his time and energies to his own particular specialty much more closely than has been the case in his post at Hope College. "ALTHOUGH DEAN MATH- IS' stay at Hope has been a brief one, he leaves behind many friends—students, faculty and ad- ministrators. We all wish him and his family well as he returns to a career in the area of his special interest." Dr. Mathis said, "The year in Holland and at Hope has been a rich and rewarding experience for my family and me. It is with genuine reluctance that we leave. UNC-C holds a challenge to me to return to my discipline and to contribute to the development of a significant program in the fine DR. WILLIAM S. MATHIS arts which I feel is unique. The challenge and the opportunity pre- sent an imperative. "We shall maintain a keen affec- tion for Hope and shall follow with interest her continuing de- velopment."

Cage Forces Awareness Of the Form of Music
" U n u s u a l " is the adjec t ive which would descr ibe the lecture and concert by J o h n Cage in Dim-nent Chape l last T h u r s d a y . This was not a concert in the accepted sense of the word but ra ther a " l i s tening exper ience ."
MR, CAGE a t tempts to force people to listen a n d to become a w a r e of the fo rm of music. He describes his mus ic as timeless. It has no b e g i n n i n g or end yet it can be recognized as h a v i n g some fo rm. He wan t s to b r i n g for th new s o u n d s and evoke a response f rom his audience.
Accord ing to Mr. Cage, we a re
condi t ioned to classical mus ic
and listen to s o u n d s in g r o u p s which m a k e up compos i t ions . We mus t be m a d e to listen to in-d iv idua l s o u n d s .
D R RIDER expressed s u r p r i s e that two- th i rds of the aud ience did not walk out. He sa id that the length of the concert prevent-ed Mr. C a g e f r o m ach iev ing the desired effect.
Mr. C a g e ' s music , which is f r ag -mented a n d difficult to listen to, seemed to m a k e each selection end-lessly long . Accord ing to Dr. Rid-er, there h a s been a g rea t deal of react ion aga in s t Mr. Cage s imply because people do not u n d e r s t a n d wha t he is a t t empt ing to do.

A T i m e for Concern
T HE T I M E HAS COME for con-cern. T h e resignation this week of Dr. Will iam S. Mathis as
Dean of Academic affairs came as no surprise to the majority of the campus. The news had been widely circulated before President VanderWerf's official announcement, and the reaction on the part of students, faculty and adminis-trators was and continues to be one of profound disillusionment.
Last September Hope College be-gan the year with three new men in three of the most important positions of the College administration: Director of Development, Dean of Academic Affairs, Director of Business Affairs. Not even nine months later, Will iam Hender, the Director of Development, and Dean Mathis have resigned, leav-ing only Clarence Handlogten, the Di-rector of Business Affairs, remaining with the College.
If these two resignations were un-usual incidents on Hope's campus, we might not be so concerned. However, the four years of President Vander Werf's administration have marked a turnover in personnel that can only impeed the progress of this school and damage the educational process.
DU R I N G P R E S I D E N T Vander Werf's administration, we have witnessed the resignations of two
Deans of Men, two Vice Presidents for Academic Affairs, one Business Man-ager, one Director of Public Relations, one Assistant to the President, one Di-rector of Church Relations, one Dean of the College, one Dean of Academic Affairs, one Chaplain, and one Direc-tor of Development. Surely some ad-ministrators from the preceding Lub-bers administration were expected to resign so that President VanderWerf would be able to find his own group of men with whom he could work. Some may have been unsuitable.
But let's stop kidding ourselves. A good number of highly qualified men have left this College because of in-ternal conflict within the administra-tion. T h e source of this conflict in nearly all cases centers around the President.
We have always maintained that a degree of conflict is a healthy char-acteristic of the educational process. However, when conflict results in a breakdown of communications so se vere that men have no other choice than to resign, that conflict is destruc-tive to the very educational process we are all seeking to maintain and im-prove. Because of the present situation, stability, continuity, and leadership have become desir: found.
desirable but rarely
R O M D E A N M A T H I S during the of the past year has come some
leadership, especially in academic affairs, which H o p e College so despar-ately needs to insure the stability neces-sary for growth. He has won the confi-dence and loyalty of the entire faculty and many students. We do not blame him for leaving, for there is a point be-yond which any reasonable man can-not go when he finds himself in an in-tolerable situation. He simply must get out.
T h e gravity of the present situa-tion demands that the present state of instability, bred by the conflict within the administration, be subject for great concern on the part of students and faculty. T h e relationship between the President of Hope College and the rest of tht College must be examined, and concrete steps must be taken to pre-vent the present situation from con-tinuing.
If instability is allowed to continue as the distinguishing characteristic of the leadership of H o p e College, it can only have a damaging effect for the students it is committed to educate.
On Hope's T h e a t e r
THE H I G H Q U A L I T Y of the stu-dent production "The Clouds," appearing in Castle Park Amphi-
theater last weekend, points to a void that has come into life at Hope College. Once common near-professional theater ofterings have of late been conspicuous by their absence, much to the detriment of our college education.
Viewed as a part of the educational process, which theoretically almost all extra-curricular activities are, the Little Theater has lived up to neither present expectations nor past achievements. It has done little for either the particia-pents or the audience.
Part of the problem lies in the plays chosen for production. In years to come pieces such as "What Say They?" and Motherlant's "Queen After Death" may be recognized for their lit-erary and dramatic merit. But for pres-ent collegiate audiences they are not as valuable as more established works.
There is a wealth of dramatic lit-erature that can be tapped for college theater performjances. For examples we need only t^rrt to the plays produced by the Little Theater last year. "Hip-polytus," "The Fantastiks" and Ibsen's "The Master Builder" are recognized classics which can be put on the college stage. It seems that they would also teach the actors more about the West-ern dramatic heritage and the subtle-ties of acting than do the lesser known pieces we have seen this year. Such plays, however, have not been selected.
AN U N F O R T U N A T E result of this has been an appreciable loss of student enthusiasm for the
college productions. When compared to the fervor that preceeded and followed "The Fantastiks" and "Hippolytus" for
weeks, the feeling about recent plays has been insignificant.
If students are to benefit from Lit-tle Theater efforts, they must be ex-posed to works that exemplify the prin-ciples of good theater. How an English teacher could effectively illustrate a point with reference to "Queen After Death" is difficult to say. That it would be easier using "The Master Builder" is obvious.
T h e quality of the performances has also been deficient. In almost all cases the direction has been inadequate and the acting sub-standard. If the plays were to be salvaged at all, it would have to have been with superb interpretation of the works. Unfortun-ately we have not seen this.
TH E L I T T L E T H E A T E R has not been without bright spots. T h e program of bringing professional
technical advisors to assist in lighting and set design is one of the most ambit-ious in the country. But even this has not improved the dramatic and educa-tional value of the productions, and at times has merely served to accentuate other deficiences. A beautiful, realistic set is only "putting new patches on the old garments" of inappropriate plays and inadequate direction.
Despite the fact that it is not a Palette and Masque product, "The Clouds" is a step in the right direction. But more must be done. T h e College is preparing to invest a considerable sum of money for new and improved theater facilities in the long-promised Student Cultural-Social Center. If this is to be a profitable expenditure, the Little Theater must again be made a valuable part of the social and cultural life of the college.

the p e r s o n n e l of H o p e ' s a d m i n i s t r a t i o n h a v e fai led to p r o v i d e the l e a d e r s h i p which is i m p e r a t i v e fo r o u r present s i tua t ion . Hope is l o s ing its c h a r a c t e r p r i m a r i l y because it refuses to believe in w h a t it really is.
S a y i n g these th ings h a s at t imes put me in a s i t ua t ion which I f o u n d very difficult to live with, but r e m a i n i n g silent would h a v e been d e a d l y . One of m y con-so l a t i ons is that of a n anchor ed i tor of s o m e 4 0 y e a r s a g o , m y fa ther . In his last ed i to r i a l he wrote:
" A T TIMES, WE H A V E been an tag -onistic o r des t ruct ive , a n d this w a s a l w a y s d o n e with the belief that such a n t a g o n i s t i c or des t ruc t ive a t t i tude w a s the hones t re-flection of p o p u l a r s tudent op in ion . Some-times this o p p o s i t i o n has been r a t h e r bo ld ly expressed a n d this for r e a s o n of sensa-t iona l i sm a n d s n a p . . . . I n sho r t , any-thing which m a y h a v e caused a n y stir was pub l i shed for the p u r p o s e of m a k i n g the a n c h o r a wan ted weekly. And t h r o u g h it all, we h a v e p r o m o t e d wha t we believed were pro jec t s that wou ld m a k e H o p e a better s tuden t h o m e .
" T h a t was o u r aim—if we h a v e m a d e f r iends t h r o u g h it, we a r e g lad . And if we h a v e m a d e enemies , we will opt imis-tically r e g a r d them as necessa ry accom-p a n i m e n t s to f r i e n d s h i p s . "
The t ru th w a s wha t we were abou t and wha t we h o p e the anchor w a s abou t . 1 hope that those w h o h a v e read it will s ay of o u r r e p o r t i n g wha t Huck F inn sa id ol M a r k T w a i n ' s accoun t in " T h e Adven tu re s of T o m S a w y e r " :
" T H E R E WAS SOME T H I N G S which he s t re tched, but m a i n l y he told the t r u t h . "
We m a y not h a v e told the t ru th ; we m a y h a v e h a r m e d the College; bu t as I leave this office a n d the d a r k e n e d Pine Grove , 1 l eave with affect ion fo r this p a p e r , its staff, a n d the people of H o p e College. 1 l eave with hope , a n d it consis ts in this:

ONE BIG, HAPPY FAMILY—See the scowling people around the table. They are copy-readers (1. to r.) Carol Koterski and Janice Bakker. They are scowling because they have to find all the mistakes the reporters made. If they miss one, the managing editor, George Arwady, (standing) gets angry. Now, is that nice?

Every day for 29 to 30 weeks of the year 30 to 40 Hope students court dam-nat ion, and their flirtation is work on the Hope College anchor . K i e r k e g a a r d ' s ad-moni t ions to the con t r a ry , these students m a y spend as little as two h o u r s in the case of a cub reporter on a minor story or as much as 55 hours in the case of a member of the editorial b o a r d .
And somehow, mi racu lous ly , by some divine stroke of Providence it seems, each week 2 ,200 printed copies of their work a p p e a r on the c a m p u s on F r i d a y at 2 p.m.
The whole job is a kind of hell, a hell in a very small place—the a n c h o r office. Each member of the staff is r ac ing to beat a deadline, and when it isn't m a d e the fires and ire grow hotter and s t ronger in that very small place.
Making the Story List
The torment begins on F r i d a y after-noon at 4 when the editorial b o a r d meets to p r epa re a story and picture list for the next issue and look over the last week's issue. At this meeting, unless in class or asleep in bed, a re George A r w a d y , the m a n a g i n g editor; Tom Hi ldebrandt , the news editor; Pat Canfield, the feature edi-tor; Dick Angstadt , the layout editor and chief p h o t o g r a p h e r , and 1.
Amidst compla in t s about the missed typo in the editorial and the two head-
. . . IV v .
MAYBE IF I . . .—See the man with the ruler and the scowl on his face. He is Dick Angstadt, the layout editor. He de-cides how the stories will fit on each page. He is scowling because he has to squeeze 800 inches of copy into 640 inches of space. Sometimes he can't do it.
lines that were butted together o n t h e s p o r t s page , we launch into another issue. Tom Hi ldebrandt b r i n g s in a list of coming events on the ca l enda r which he thinks we ought to cover, and then the fires begin to f lare a little.
The major i ty of the news which the a n c h o r reports is never listed officially on any ca lendar , and it is the responsi-bility of each edi tor to be a w a r e of what ' s h a p p e n i n g on the campus . Simple? Try it. Every conversa t ion becomes a poten-tial s tory for the paper , for what each article a ims at is presenting the total pic-ture of what happened or will happen .
Hey - What's Happening?
And so, the conversa t ion will run some-thing like this:
" H e y , one of the girls in Voorhees told me they 're go ing to picket the Pres-ident's house and protest the fire condi-t ions ."
"Well, get back to her and find out when they ' re g o i n g to do it and we'll send Satch (one of our p h o t o g r a p h e r s with the likely last name of Page) to get a p ix ."
"Did you g u y s notice that f raterni ty rush is down this semester over last year? Maybe there's a s tory there. Pe rhaps it's because the s tudents who come to Hope aren ' t interested in fraternities a n y more.
"1 bet it's because they 're all ineligible. One of the R.A.s in Kollen told me that the g u y s on his wing really got low g r a d e s . "
"Well, let's try it. . . . " Then as we survey the week before us,
creat ing in our own minds the Platonic ideal of that next issue, we begin m a k i n g ass ignments . Most of the stories a re f a rmed out to reporters , and the big stories, which will p r o b a b l y go page 1 or which require some ex t ra work , a re handled by one of the b o a r d .
News editor Hilde writes notes to each of the reporters , expla in ing what the story is, what it involves, whom to see, and then with a pessimistic sneer, he writes very f i rmly: "Deadl ine: 3 p.m., T u e s d a y . "
And the scene changes f rom that very smal l place to other small places a r o u n d the c a m p u s : faculty offices, the Kletz, the President 's office, s tudents ' r o o m s and the v a r i o u s Deans ' offices, where repor ters of v a r i o u s stripes and with differing skills ask essentially:
" W h a t ' s happen ing , b a b y ? " Only more respectfully. The task here is to ask enough quest ions and the right quest ions so that the source of the news will give a complete account. Sometimes it's as easy as s imply f inding out what happened or will happen , but it rarely stops there. The good reporter looks behind the b a r e facts for an inter-pre ta t ion , a reason why things a re the way they are. And the goal of it all lies in just this: to tell others about it.
The fun and g a m e s begin when that cesspool of in fo rmat ion , the repor ter , sits before the k e y b o a r d of a typewriter, and trys to report his s tory. He cuts, trims, omits, shapes , and o rde r s his s tory and with a feeling of accompl i shment or re-lief, he types that mythical symbo l for the end: -30-.
H IS TASK IS E N O R M O U S and his responsibil i ty is overwhelming. Some 2,()()() people will depend on his account of an event to form their op in ions o r order their lives. The relative weight which he gives to some item of news aga ins t another is a matter of j udgmen t and insight, and the truth is what he seeks to b r i n g to his readers .
Pe rhaps it's the power of sitting before that k e y b o a r d or the sense of integrity in b r ing ing the truth or a por t ion of it to o thers that mot ivates a reporter . Perhaps it's the personal p r ide ofseeing " m y art icle" in print . Or pe rhaps it's just a job to be done.
Into the "Very Small Place"
The power wielded and the j ob done, he b r ings the article down the s ta i rs into the basement of Graves , into a now rather dir ty, very small place, and announces : "Where do I put this?" Hilde, who of course has been look ing for the article ever since Tuesday at 3 p.m., g run t s his apprec ia t ion and throws it in the direction of one of our copy readers : Janice Bakker , Caro l Koterski, o r Lew Vander Naa ld .
The d a y is Wednesday and the hour is app rox ima te ly 8 p.m. The office is a grotesque, chaotic combina t ion of Roller Derby with Angstadt on his l a y o u t chair and the tuberculosis w a r d of a hospital with A r w a d y throwing c o u g h i n g fits. This is the night when the p a p e r is " p u t to bed" but the editors rare ly are. Their work be-gins at 7 or 8 in the evening and ends somet ime a r o u n d 4 a .m.
While the edi tors check the stories to m a k e sure that the articles a re accurate, readable , and complete, the p h o t o g r a p h e r s are look ing over negatives, p r in t ing pic-tures and cont rac t ing a mild case of hys-terical c l aus t rophob ia in that smallest and da rkes t place—the a n c h o r office d a r k r o o m .
Wednesday Night Blast
Wednesday night is the worst stretch for o u r band . Stories a lways seem to break on Wednesday a f t e rnoon , so that much of the evening is spent a d d i n g to an al-ready lilled s tory list or rewriting the story that begins:
WRITING IT UP—See the man at the typewriter with the scowl on his face. His name is Glenn Looman. He is a reporter. He is writing up something that has happened on campus during the week. He is scowling because if he makes a mistake, the copyreaders will get angry. Isn't working on a newspaper fun?

How Much Freedom?
Hope Committed to In Loco Parentis Editor's note: This is the second of two
crticles written by Bruce Ronda dealing with the issue of college authority based on in loco parentis.
By Bruce Ronda
anchor Editorial Assistant
The Mope College a d m i m s i r a t i o n posi-tion on in loco paren t i s is by no m e a n s unified. While Dr. Calv in VanderWerf , Pre-sident of the College, H e n r y Steffens, T r e a s u r e r a n d Vice President, and Acade-mic Dean William Mathis all ag reed that the school does s tand in loco paren t i s , a posi t ion especially useful when a s tudent is in legal difficulty, there was s o m e d i sagreement over fu r the r ex tens ions of the policy.
WHILE DR, V A N D E R W E R F a n d Mr. Steffens noted the need for rules to aid in the m a t u r i n g process , Dr. Mathis pro-posed that rules themselves a re the worst way of e n c o u r a g i n g matur i ty . The Acade-mic Dean fur ther suggested that the ques-t ion ing of rules is educat ive, and never the rules themselves, a l t hough they m a y act as ca ta lys t s in the at tack.
BRUCE RONDA
All three agreed that the const i tuency of the college ( townspeople , church mem-bers, pa ren t s of students, a n d a l u m n i ) p l ay a l a rge role in the ma in t a inence of a complex a n d extensive set of rules, but Dr. Mathis sa id that all we (the college c o m m u n i t y ) real ly owe our const i tuency is the responsibi l i ty of setting people free f rom stifling legal ism and intellectual s t agna t i on .
Ideally, the a d m i n i s t r a t o r s noted, the rules unde r which a s tudent places him-self u p o n agree ing to attend the college shou ld be determined by a con t inu ing three way a d m i n i s t r a t o r , facul ty, s tudent conver sa t ion , but Dr. Mathis pointed out that in reality both regu la t ions and acad -emic f reedom on c a m p u s a re determined t h r o u g h a series of c o m p r o m i s e s and eva-s ions between college and const i tuency.
PERHAPS T H E MOST REVEALING statement of college policy concern ing the agreement m a d e between student and Hope College can be seen in the letter sent to some of the Chapel Slip Retainers who were pro tes t ing c o m p u l s o r y chapel this semester . In pa r t , the letter r e a d s as fol lows:
" Y o u a r e awa re that Hope College is an independent college, a c o m m u n i t y with which ind iv idua l s of their own voli-tion assoc ia te themselves. The College as an entity h a s the responsibi l i ty for esta-b l i sh ing its pu rpose s , p rocedures , rules, and regula t ions for s ta t ing these c lear ly for the pe rusa l of those interested in affil-ia t ing with the College. . . .
" A student who registers at Hope Col-lege vo lun ta r i ly commits himself to the legal and m o r a l commi tmen t s of the Col-lege. In shor t , the s tudent and the College enter into an agreement that the College will fulfill its responsibi l i t ies and that the s tudent will expect the College to do so. . Nu l l i fy ing the agreement that the s tudent be a pa r t of the College c o m m u n i t y , its policies, p rocedures , rules a n d regula t ions , can only m e a n that the s tudent is no longer a p a r t of the College c o m m u n i t y , that he is. o p e r a t i n g outs ide the sphere of those th ings that m a k e for c o m m u n i t y . .
ACCORDING TO A N A R T I C L E in Mode ra to r magaz ine , F e b r u a r y , 1962, the r a t iona le developed in the preceding letter
placed the H o p e College agreement be-tween student and college under the con-tract theory . Mat r icu la t ion m e a n s accep-tance of the rules, a n d this m u c h is acceptable to even the mos t vocal critics of in loco parent i s . But cont rac t a lso im-plies equa l b a r g a i n i n g power , and , if the a n a l o g y to l a b o r - m a n a g e m e n t is p u r s u e d , the presence of a n indifferent third p a r t y to ad jud i ca t e disputes . F ina l ly , cont rac t im-plies that the agreement c a n n o t be c h a n g e d without the consent of all the ag ree ing part ies.
II Obvious ly the ques t ion of in loco p a r -
entis h a s become a legal one. The cour t cases dea l ing with in loco parent i s h a v e dealt, in the m a i n , with state colleges a n d universit ies. In a 1902 ru l ing , Goldstein V" Y o r k Univers i ty , the cour t ruled that " I he re la t ionsh ip exist ing between a univers i ty a n d a mat r icu la ted s tudent thereof is c o n t r a c t u a l . " This was fu r the r clarif ied in the 1913 case of Gott v. Berea College:
"COLLEGE A U T H O R I T I E S s t and in loco paren t i s c o n c e r n i n g the physical and m o r a l welfare a n d menta l t r a in ing of the pupils , and we a re u n a b l e to see why to that end they m a y not m a k e a n y rules or r egu la t ions for the g o v e r n m e n t or better-ment of their pup i l s that a pa ren t could for the s a m e p u r p o s e . . . .The cour ts a re not d i sposed to interfere, unless the rules and a ims are un lawfu l , o r aga in s t publ ic po l icy . "
The y e a r s fo l lowing the ear ly 1 9 0 0 ^ saw a refinement of in loco paren t i s cour t rul ings. In Ingersol l v. C l a p p ( 1 9 2 8 ) the court obse rved : " . . . The enforcement of the d i sc ip l ina ry rules of the state uni-versities is commit ted to the officials there-of, a n d unless they a re p a l p a b l y un rea -s o n a b l e or in enforc ing them they act a rb i t r a r i ly , cour t s will not inferfere ."
Civil Rights activities by college stu-dents compel led the cour t s to rule in 1961 ( Knight v. B o a r d of E d u c a t i o n ) that: " . . . the au thor i t ies u n i f o r m l y recognize that the g o v e r n m e n t a l power in respect to mat-ters of s tudent discipline in public schools is not unlimited and that d i sc ip l inary rules must not only be fa i r a n d r e a s o n a b l e but they a l so mus t be appl ied in a fair and r e a s o n a b l e m a n n e r . "
Does a different re la t ionship exist be-tween a s tudent a n d a p r iva t e institution than that which exists between a s tudent and a publ ic college or un ivers i ty? While Hope College, a c c o r d i n g to Henry Stef-fens, h a s never been involved in litiga-tion with a n y of its s tudents , the fo l lowing s ta tement by Michael J o h n s o n in T e x a s Law Review is re levant to the p rob l em:
" T H E E D U C A T I O N OF A s ubs t an -tial p o r t i o n of o u r public is surely not an essential ly p r i v a t e funct ion even when it is conducted by p r iva te ly owned a n d opera ted universi t ies . The federal govern-ment h a s recognized the i m p o r t a n c e to the publ ic of the role p l ayed by these in-stitutions by e x t e n d i n g s u b s t a n t i a l a m o u n t s in fo rm of f inancia l aid a n d s c h o l a r s h i p s to pe r sons a t t end ing them. By a n a l o g y to the deve lopment in other a r ea s where the services in ques t ion were impressed with a deep public interest, it is entirely poss ib le that the activities of p r i v a t e colleges and uni-versities will be held to fall within the limits of the P'ourteenth A m e n d m e n t . " (XL 11, 1964; 3 5 0 )
This pos i t ion is fu r the r clarified and m a d e m o r e specific by Dr. Kenneth Mar-cus, wri t ing in the Illinois State Univer-sity Vidette:
" T h e First A m e n d m e n t of the U. S. Const i tut ion m a d e app l i cab le to the states t h rough the Four t een th Amendmen t does not g r a n t f reedom of speech, a s sembly , religion a n d press jus t to adul t Amer i can citizens. It g r a n t s these f r eedoms to all persons . What the Const i tut ion g r a n t s to the people, the college admin i s t r a t i on can-not t ake a w a y . "
T H E OATH TO SUPPORT this Con sti tutional her i tage , Dr. Marcus s ays , " i s violated everyt ime an a d m i n i s t r a t o r tells a college n e w s p a p e r edi tor he c a n n o t pub-lish a n item because it is con t rovers ia l . It is v iola ted every t ime a key is turned in a d o r m i t o r y r o o m without consent and the r o o m is s ea rched without w a r r a n t . It is violated every t ime s tudents a re told they c a n n o t a s semble to petition for re-dress of g r i e v a n c e s . " ( N o v . 7, 1963)
m What these confl ict ing perspect ives
point to is essent ia l ly a crisis in va lues . As pointed out at the beg inn ing of this s tudy, in loco pa ren t i s was feasible as long as the p r e s u p p o s i t i o n s of the entire college c o m m u n i t y r emained h o m o g e n -eous, as l o n g as s tudents remained willing to s tay outs ide the dec i s ion -mak ing activi-ties of the univers i ty s t ructure. But a Policy Declarat ion of U S N S A , "S tuden t Conduc t
NEW PRIVILEGE—Students are pictured enjoying a dance in the Julianna Room. A long-standing rule prohibiting student dancing was modified in 1952 to permit off-campus dancing supervised by the college and was aboUshed in 1%3, as evidenced by the Student Life Committee proposal for dancing in the temporary student union.
and Social F r e e d o m . " reflects a new stu-dent interest in b e c o m i n g a pa r t of the rule-m a k i n g act ivi ty:
" I n so f a r as the doct r ine (of in loco pa ren t i s ) removes responsibi l i ty for per-sona l d e c i s i o n - m a k i n g f r o m the ind iv idua l s tudent , it weakens a n d dis tor ts a signifi-cant p h a s e of the educa t iona l process . T h e u n e x a m i n e d acceptance of au thor i ty which is often a p p r o p r i a t e to the ch i ld -paren t re la t ionsh ip must be replaced by the en-c o u r a g e m e n t of a critical and dialectical r e la t ionsh ip between the s tudent a n d his c o m m u n i t y . The r a n g e of inqu i ry within or b e y o n d the c l a s s r o o m must not be re-stricted out of pa t e rna l cons ide ra t i ons but mus t be opened out of educa t iona l ones. . . p a t e r n a l i s m induces o r reinforces i m m a t u r -ity, con fo rmi ty and disinterest a m o n g those whose i m a g i n a t i o n , critical talent and c a p a -cities for integrity and g rowth s h o u l d be e n c o u r a g e d . " ( p . 4 2 )
P R O F E S S I O N A L E D U C A T O R S a n d other o r g a n i z a t i o n s as well as s tuden ts h a v e called for a r e e x a m i n a t i o n of in loco parent is . Dr. Joseph K a u f f m a n asks : " I s it now t ime for colleges and univers i t ies to remind legis la tors a n d benefac to r s that
the f reedom it g r a n t s facul ty and s tuden ts is a par t of the necessa ry cl imate of learn-ing. . . .? Inst i tut ions will h a v e to recog-nize that m o r e and more , they must achieve their g o a l s t h r o u g h c o n s e n s u s r a the r than f i a t . " The Amer i can Civil Liberties U n i o n echoes K a u f f m a n in s a y i n g : "We c a n n o t w r a p the s tudent in cot ton wool to protect him aga in s t the h a z a r d s of f r eedom and at the s a m e t ime h a b i t u a t e him to the m a k -ing of intelligent choices a m o n g pol ic ies ."
The c o n s e n s u s a m o n g student o r g a n i -za t ions a n d p r o f e s s i o n a l s points t o w a r d a rep lac ing of the t r a d i t i o n a l in loco p a r e n t i s with an i n c o r p o r a t i o n of all e lements of the academic c o m m u n i t y in its decision-m a k i n g activities. Ideal ly , the un ivers i ty is c o m p o s e d of a n u m b e r of s cho l a r s , all of them teachers a n d s tudents to v a r y -ing degrees.
T H E T E N S I O N A N D C O N F L I C T implicit in such equa l i ty is fa r p r e f e r a b l e to the a p p a r e n t h a r m o n y of g o v e r n m e n t by in loco paren t i s fiat. As Dr. Math i s h a s poin ted out, such h a r m o n y , such fa-cile so lu t ions to o u r difficulties m e a n s a loss of f r e e d o m to s o m e o n e ; real f r eedom in a c a d e m i a is s y n o n y m o u s with conflict.

In fact, the poem h a s no s t ruc ture of images at all, a n d hence there is no pr inciple for inc lud ing or exc lud ing a n y i m a g e : v o l c a n o , tide, ant-hill, wa r , k n o c k i n g at d o o r s , h ide-and-seek, a n d f loods (all seven images ex-t r a n e o u s to the n a r r a t i v e ) a re e v o k e d in eight lines wi thout a n y a t t empt to relate a n y of the i m a g e s to each o the r o r to a n y t h i n g else in the poem. There a r e e n o u g h i m a g e s in this one poem for Ron-d a ' s first b o o k .
B E C A U S E OF the loose ima-ge ry in " R e m e m b e r , " I m u c h pre-fer R o n d a ' s " O n Violence Done to C h i c a g o Civil Rights Worke r s S u m m e r 1 9 6 6 . " T o exp la in w h y I l ike it, I mus t d i s t inguish between
the pathet ic fa l lacy (which pre-sents the poet ' s own m o o d reflected in na tu re : the m o o n seemed to turn to b lood while I lay beside the wreck, w o u n d e d ) and apoca l -yptic i m a g e r y (which presents wha t the Bible s a y s will h a p p e n at the end of time: the m o o n , for one thing, will tu rn to b l o o d ) .
Par t I of "V io l ence" a n n o y e d me at first because of the pathet ic fallacies: the r a inwa te r and eggs a re a m a z e d , the p a v e m e n t experi-ences a n g u i s h , the g r a s s registers shock and o u t r a g e .
Par t I s truck me as sent imental . Then in Part II the i m a g e r y turn-
ed apoca lyp t i c for me: s tones speak at a f inal j u d g m e n t as pas-sion a n d terror dissolve. In memo-ry, even the images of Pa r t I turned h a r d a n d apoca lyp t i c as s o o n as I got to Par t II. When reality comes a p a r t at the final j u d g m e n t , eggs and r a inwa te r m a y well be a m a z e d , p a v e m e n t m a y well exper ience a n g u i s h , and g r a s s m a y well register shock and ou t r age . In the light of Pa rk II and its apoca lyp t i c violence, the sent imental i m a g e r y of Par t I is m e t a m o r p h o s e d into a m ino r apo-calypse .
T H A T STRATEGY, p l a n n e d or accidental , is g o o d . The r eade r begins th ink ing of civil r ights as a sent imental cliche. He meets an a p o c a l y p s e in Par t II. In the light of it, he modif ies his sent imental response to Par t I. P e r h a p s the s t ra tegy would be helped by a title which does not give the poem a w a y and by a brief Par t III, m a d e up of images of Par t I, fo rc ing the r e a d e r to reinterpret them as only a p p a r e n t pathet ic fallacies, and g iv ing the p o e m a sa t i s fy ing A-B-A structure.
R o n d a ' s " A B i r t hday Verse" has a n unconfused s t ructure , al-t h o u g h it exploi ts confused sea-sons , confused images a n d con-fused identities. His " A Sequel" does not w o r k at all. Why only three example s before Dedalus , and why those three? Why not three o thers? Why not seven? Or twenty-two? The poem suffers f r o m the s a m e ai lment as "Re-m e m b e r " : it h a s no p l an .
I F O U N D R o n d a ' s " F i n i a n and •he Peacocks" the mos t sa t i s fy ing poem in the book . The peacock is a n academic abs t r ac t ion as FMni-an muses at the beg inn ing . As F i n i a n a p p r o a c h e s sleep, the pea-cock becomes a s imu l t aneous symbo l of success and violence.
When F in ian sleeps, the peacock s ings and preens. The s t ra tegy of the whole poem is sure , and there is no waste i m a g e in it.
The single sus ta ined image in " A Negro Mother ' s P r a y e r " m a k e s it Alan Jone ' s best poem. The excessive a l l i tera t ion in the first s tanza of " A n n u n c i a t i o n , " the ve rba l cuteness of the third s t a n z a ( " g r a c e d ful l f ingers ," " t e m b l e " ) , and the uncontrol led F r e u d i a n i s m of the last m a r a p o e m which is s a l v a g a b l e .
"PRAYER AT the F o n t " suf-fers f rom triteness ( " a w e s o m e s h u d d e r " ) a n d f r o m m o r e thea-trics than so slight a poem can b e a r . More t h a n a n y o n e in the b o o k , however , Jones is inven-tive a n d skil lful with images . His m a j o r weaknesses a r e verba l a n d technical.
I find Richard Boese's " Rain-d r o p s " as tediously o p a q u e as I f ind his " U p r i g h t M a n " tediously obv ious . Delwyn Sneller 's sonnet " O n e B o y " is o b v i o u s too, but interesting because of its abun-d a n c e of concrete detail. G o r d o n K o r s t a n g e ' s a t tempt at p a s t o r a l is n o m o r e t h a n a n exercise. Greg Phillips ' " G a s t r o p o d a " suffers f r o m adjectivit is: " v e r d a n t b r e a t h , " " m i g h t y / B o o m i n g vo ice , " "deep twisted c a t a c o m b s , " " th ick green f a t h o m s . "
T H E MOST exaspe ra t i ng a n d mos t ambi t i ous piece in the an-tho logy is " T h e y C a n W o n d e r "
by Anne De Velder. It is the mos t ambi t i ous piece because it a t tempts a sho r t s tory with a child at the center of consciousness . The o p e n i n g ch i ld ' s chant , the ha i r -ba l l s in the s t omach , the i m a g i n e d Mister are all the kind of detail that I wish I could think o f — a n d then hand le as well as Miss De Velder.
It is the mos t e x a s p e r a t i n g piece in the book because of its m a n y adject ives ( " l i t t l e b a l l e d f i s t , " " s o f t mel low t h u d , " and " f r u s t r a t e d hy-sterical w a i l " ) , because of its lack of focus a n d because of its vacil-l a t i ng center of consciousness . Even the i m a g i n a t i v e little girl would not th ink that her m o t h e r ' s speeches were " g n a t s o f t h o u g h t , " o r t h a t h e r f a t h e r " i n t e r p o s e d ( o d d La t ina te w o r d ) g run t s of indif-ference," o r tha t her " p a r a m o u n t " at tent ion was engaged . If the cen-ter of the s t o ry ' s consc iousness were a l a d y of sixty with a Ph.D. in a r c h a e o l o g y , p a r a m o u n t migh t be the best word .
A T FIRST, outside of the home , the child seems u n h a p p y because bo th pa ren t s ignore her. Later ,
inside the home , the child is un-h a p p y because her fa ther h a s died a n d her m o t h e r is in grief. Gran t -ed, her own ino rd ina t e grief a n d her mo the r ' s m a y be traced to a neurot ic f ami ly pat tern even when the fa ther w a s alive, but then the s i tua t ion is f a r too complex to exp lo re in five pages . The chi ld ' s
m e m o r y of her father a n d mother , the first g l impse we get of them (p. 29 ) , con ta ins no hint that the fa ther is dead . She would not h a v e forgot ten, surely, o r if she has , such forget t ing shou ld be m a d e credible. When we a r e told later that the father is dead , that fact seems to contradic t this mem-ory . The s tory needs at least an-other rewriting.
I hesitate to b r ing up J a n e Bou-m a n ' s " A b s u r d . " If the cha i r is a n u n r e s p o n s i v e male, a n d if the b reas t s t roke is what I think it is, a n d if G r a n n y is the old mora l i ty , I like the poem for its cleverness.
B E C A U S E COX instructed me as he did, these a re m y r o u g h notes for a review. Like m a n y pieces : n Opus and Loci (the lit-e r a r y m a g a z i n e of m y school) , these r o u g h notes would h a v e im-p r o v e d with rewriting. Just as I find m o r e to say because some pieces in Opus and Loci a re not rewritten often enough , so I hope you will find more to s a y abou t m y notes than if I h a d rewritten them. I hope that the chief thing you miss in this non-review is archi tecture—deliberately miss ing because of instruct ions given me. But like m y own students who write in Loci, you w h o write in: Opus must be reminded that with-out architecture—without deliber-ate order—not all the f la ir for w o r d s and images will ever m a k e y o u r p o e m s and stories whole.
Two Faculty Members Honor Retiring Colleagues Teaching Skills Made Challenging By Helen Schoon
By J o h n Ver Beek
Helen H a b e r l a n d Schoon join-ed the H o p e College facul ty in 1 9 4 6 when her h u s b a n d , the late Rev. H e n r y Schoon , became a m e m b e r of the H o p e College staff.
I N 1948 Mrs. Schoon jo ined the educa t ion staff, and in 1949

Dr. Yntema Aided In Establishing Hope's Reputation
By Kenneth Weller
The y e a r 1946 m a r k e d the end of a war and the beg inn ing of a new era for H o p e College. Enroll-ment tripled as men released by the a r m e d services and encour-a g e d by the G.l . Bill of Rights descended on the c a m p u s in d roves .
Faced with the task of as-s embl ing a facul ty to teach these s tudents , the President recognized a grea t new interest in economics a n d business. The appo in tmen t of a depa r tmen t c h a i r m a n in this a r e a was a crucia l concern.
D W I G H T B. Yntema seemed a logical choice for the posit ion. An o u t s t a n u i n g student as an un-d e r g r a d u a t e at H o p e and in his doc to ra l p r o g r a m at the Univer-sity of Michigan , he had distin-gu ished himself as a p rofess iona l economis t in Wash ing ton .
He knew a n d unders tood the const i tuency a n d the objectives of H o p e College. His fa ther h a d served as a p ro fe s so r of science at Hope for m a n y yea r s and his b r o t h e r s a n d sister were h igh ly respected m e m b e r s of the a lumni .
The wisdom of that decision two decades a g o is o b v i o u s today . Dr. Yntema h a s p layed a key role in b r i n g i n g the College t h r o u g h the per i lous y e a r s of rela-
tive obscur i ty in the late forties to its present level of effective-ness and recogni t ion. He h a s served with distinction in three a r e a s — facul ty leadership , re-sea rch and teaching.
F A C U L T Y LEADERSHIP: Never f l a m b o y a n t but a l w a y s in-fo rmed , never aggress ive but al-w a y s determined, he has g iven sol idi ty a n d p u r p o s e to facul ty gove rnmen t . He h a s d o m i n a t e d no one but counseled m a n y f rom the President and Vice President to the lowliest f r e s h m a n . In the presence of wild ideas he h a s t h rown the cold water of a n a l y -sis and a su re sense of the wel-f a r e of the College, but in the face of t ime-consuming d iscuss ion a n d pedes t r i an thinking, his mind h a s often p roduced the new in-s ight , the f resh a p p r o a c h , the new w a y to a t tack an old p r o b l e m . When he s p o k e the faculty listened.
Research: At a time when facul ty research w a s ra re at Hope Col-lege, he p ioneered in pe r sona l re-sea rch on taxes and in di rect ing a m a j o r s t udy of u n e m p l o y m e n t c o m p e n s a t i o n which was request-ed by the Mich igan Senate a n d fi-
nanced by the Merrill F o u n d a t i o n . TEACHING: In con t r a s t with
teachers with whom cont inued ex-p o s u r e creates d i senchantment , his re la t ionsh ip with s tudents is charac te r ized by a cons tan t ly g r o w i n g apprec i a t ion for h igh qua l i ty s c h o l a r s h i p a n d the v a l u e of educa t ion . As the s tudent p roceeds t h r o u g h the myster ies of s o p h o m o r e economics , u p p e r

level courses , and f inal ly into the compet i t ive world of g r a d u a t e school a n d the m a r k e t place, he is increas ingly a w a r e that he h a s studied unde r a g rea t teacher.
It h a s been said that the ac-cura te a p p r a i s a l of teaching takes p lace at a l u m n i meetings, not in f r e shmen dormi tor ies . On this score Dwight Yntema scores well. He is remembered by t h o u s a n d s of a l u m n i with g ra t i tude a n d af-fection. His active teaching m a y be conc luded , but h is influence a n d his reputa t ion will cont inue to g row wherever his s tudents m a y be found .

Bach More Timely Than Weil
•y
By John Cox
The music a n d d r a m a depar t -ments a re c o o p e r a t i n g this week in a ven tu r e at H o l l a n d High. It includes a p resen ta t ion of K u r t Weil's o p e r a , " D o w n in the Val-ley ," which is preceded by a pro-g r a m of c h a m b e r mus ic p l a y e d by the symphone t t e .
It is p e r h a p s u n f o r t u n a t e that wha t we assoc ia te t o d a y with Bir-m i n g h a m jai l p rov ides a r a the r bitter con t r a s t with pastel skir ts on p o o r white sou the rn belles — to s a y n o t h i n g of the unadu l t e r a t -ed vers ion of " R o s e s Are Red." I h a d forgot ten that the ditty ever real ly ended with a n y t h i n g but a kind of ab su rd i s t r e a s o n a b l e n e s s — s o m e t h i n g like " C o c o n u t s a re b r o w n ; b a n a n a s a r e yel low." The o r ig ina l w a s shock ing ly nice. " D o w n in the V a l l e y " is, in shor t , da ted; like red r u b y lipstick a n d full, s t a rched crinolines.
HARPSICHORDS ARE da ted too, of course — a n d so is Bach. The symphone t t e , Mr. Tallis a n d
Dr. Hill g o a long w a y t o w a r d p r o v i n g that dates m e a n little, however , when one is d e a l i n g with genius. Whatever Kur t Weil's tal-ents m a y h a v e been, " D o w n in the Va l l ey" is not the p r o d u c t of genius .
T o m Griffen 's fine tenor a n d A n d r e a Mar t i n ' s p r im comple-ment cer ta in ly give the tip to o u r mus ic i ans when the total even ing is cons idered . H a r v e y L u c a s leads the c h o r u s with a sufficiently
r e sonan t b a r i t o n e to p r o v i d e a better con t ra s t with the o rches t r a t h a n does mos t of the d i a l o g u e which too often canno t be h e a r d . Dirk W a l v o o r d deserves recogni-tion for except ional pro jec t ion .
T H E SET, a s a l w a y s this yea r , is a p p r o p r i a t e l y designed and well executed. But its light, sugges t ive qua l i ty c a n n o t coun te rac t a certain m o n u m e n t a l i t y in the act-ing. The c h o r u s is p a r t i c u l a r l y static and one is g lad to see that its m e m b e r s can indeed m o v e when they d o a neat ly choreo-g r a p h e d s q u a r e dance.
T h o u g h i n c o n g r u i t y a n d plati-tudes m a r k the Weil p roduc t i on , they a re not sufficient to spoi l the pieces by J. S. Bach a n d Wil-l i am Boyce which precede the mus ica l . In all its f rag i le perfec-tion the h a r p s i c h o r d concert a l o n e m a k e s the even ing worthwhile .

What h a s the Student Cour t been d o i n g this yea r? This q u e r y usual-ly engenders a b l a n k s t a r e f r o m H o p e College students .
O N E OF T H E L E A S T k n o w n but most i m p o r t a n t o r g a n s of the College 's s tudent gove rnmen t , the Student Cour t h a s dealt with a var ie ty of cases d u r i n g the 1966-67 school year . Unde r the leadersh ip of Chief Justice J im Klein it h a s avo ided the jurisdic-t ional disputes which m a d e it a source of con t rove r sy last y e a r a n d developed a better l iason with the Deans.
Accord ing to the Senate consti-tution, " T h e C o u r t shal l h a v e o r ig ina l jur isdic t ion and penal ty l evy ing powers in all mat te r s per-t a in ing to the regu la t ion of s tudent ethics and discipline at Hope Col lege ."
IN C O N J U N C T I O N WITH these powers, the cour t h a s h a n d l e d 16 cases thus far this year . Twenty-nine s tudents were involved in these cases, nine of which involved d r ink ing . Themis -use of meal tickets in three cases, two cases of theft, and two appea l cases compr i sed the rest of the cour t ' s docket d u r i n g the year .
In add i t ion to the Chief Justice, six j u n i o r s a n d seniors served on the cour t this year : Dick Shiels, B rad Race, Dennis F a r m e r , Bill Mills, Ruth Z i e m a n a n d J a n Kem-mink.
In all but two of the cour t ' s cases this yea r , the defendents p leaded guil ty. In the two instances when the defendent c la imed innocence, the cour t ag reed and acquit ted the student.
T H E C O U R T A C Q U I T T E D a girl on d r i n k i n g c h a r g e s because of a lack of evidence. She h a d had a lcohol on her b rea th , bu t expla ined that the pecul iar a r o m a was picked up oscu la t ing her es-cort , who is over 21.
The Reformed C h u r c h S y n o d will meet this June in Briston, Tenn. , in o rde r to discuss the p r o p o s e d merger of the R.C.A. with the Southern Presbyte r ian Church a n d other p ress ing issues.
The Sou the rn P re sybe r i ans will be meeting d u r i n g the s a m e week in Br is ton , and the Synod will meet with their General Congres s on several occasions. The merger p r o p o s a l was m a d e severa l yea r s a g o by m e m b e r s of both denom-inat ions .
T H E S O U T H E R N Presbyter-ian C h u r c h is a d e n o m i n a t i o n of a p p r o x i m a t e l y one mil l ion mem-bers who b r o k e a w a y f rom the United Presbyte r ian Church dur-ing the Civil War. Thei r doctr ines a r e s i m i l a r to those of the Re-formed Church .
Another topic scheduled to be discussed at the S y n o d meeting will be a p r o p o s e d " C o v e n a n t of Mutual Responsibil i t ies." This ag reemen t between the R.C.A. and
the three Reformed Church col-leges, if a p p r o v e d , will call for the schools to seek to " i n s p i r e their s tudents to a life of contem-p la t ion a n d se l f -g iv ing" and en-dow their educa t ion in the l iberal ar ts with " a m a t u r e u n d e r s t a n d -ing of the sources a n d resources of the Chr i s t i an he r i t age . "
IN T H E C O V E N A N T , the Church will p r o m i s e to give its "whole -hear ted interest, f a v o r a n d f inanc ia l s u p p o r t " to Hope, Cen-tral and Nor thwes te rn Colleges. The covenan t will a l so a s su re the schools "ful l f r eedom to p u r s u e all t ru th . "
Another p r o p o s a l which m a y come before the S y n o d is be ing worked on by a Reorgan iza t ion of Structure commit tee headed by-Max DePree. This commit tee is cons ide r ing a revision of the num-ber of m e m b e r s on the B o a r d s of Trustees of the Reformed Church Colleges, including Hope.

Synod Meets in June To View Church Merger
CHIEF JUSTICE JIM KLEIN
Another case drew an acqui t ta l when the d r ive r of a c a r dis-claimed ownersh ip or even know-ledge of the beer cans discovered under his ca r while he was p a r k -ed on a date in a wooded a rea .
In the cases when the cour t ruled the defendent guilty, thecor-rective m e a s u r e s levied by the court va r i ed . The m a j o r i t y of pun-ishments placed the offender on social p r o b a t i o n . In one case, s tudents were suspended f rom school for a week. Other penal-ties exacted were fines, work as-s ignments a r o u n d c a m p u s , and the wri t ing of pape r s .
T H E P U N I h H M h . i v r S meted out, however , were designed as much as poss ib le to app ly to the indiv idual case at hand . Justice Shiels pointed out that the cour t was " n o t concerned s imply with punish ing , but t ak ing correct ive measu re s that m a k e the s tudent t h ink . " With this though t , offen-ders who h a d expressed dis t rust of the police were ass igned to work with pol icemen a n d o thers who demons t r a t ea resentment a g a i n s t the College a n d Admin i s t ra t ion were m a d e to work in the Dean ' s office.
Chief Justice Klein pointed out that the factor that m a d e some cases difficult was the desire to " d o two things at once — be fairly consistent in met ing out pun i shmen t s a n d d o justice to each ind iv idua l ca se . " Klein noted that social p r o b a t i o n can m e a n a grea t deal to one s tudent and vi r tual ly no th ing to ano the r . He p roposes that the term of " soc ia l p r o " be done a w a y with next year and leave it up to the court to "spel l out wha t a student can and c a n n o t d o . "
T H E "MOST EXCITING" case of the year , a c c o r d i n g to Shiels, was the Student Cour t ' s reversal of a decision of p u n i s h m e n t pass-ed by Dean of Women Isla Van
Eenenaa rp and the Assn. of Women Students ' Judic ia l Boa rd . The Cour t eased the pun i shmen t on an appea l f rom S h a r o n Dyk-s t ra , ru l ing that her disobedience of s ignout p r o c e d u r e was a " p r o -cedura l offense" which had been pun i shed b e y o n d the scope called for in the AWS H a n d b o o k .
Another con t rovers i a l case in-volved the p rocedure for appeal-ing decisions of the Student Court . The sys tem this y e a r g a v e appel-late jur isdic t ion to the Nexus Com-mittee, a high echelon student-faculty committee cha i red by the College President. T w o cases were appea l ed to the N e x u s Committee. In one, the decision of the court was uphe ld , in the other a Nexus vote resulted in a dead lock , the mat ter w a s referred back to the Student Court and the Cour t re-a f f i rmed its o r ig ina l decision.
T H E LATTER CASE high lighted the difficulty of the appeal system w o r k i n g t h r o u g h the Nexus Committee. In the new Stu-dent Senate Const i tu t ion, appel-late jur isdic t ion pas se s to a com-mittee of the three Deans: Dr. William Mathis, Mr. Robert De Young , and Mrs. Isla Van Ee-n e n a a m .
The prob lem of jur isdict ion in d i sc ip l inary cases which confront-ed the cour t last y e a r has been solved by a " g e n t l e m a n ' s agree-m e n t " between the Cour t and the Dean of Men. Klein and Dean De Y o u n g discussed every prob lem as it a r o s e and determined whether the Cour t shou ld deal with it.
The Chief Justice sa id , however, that a " m o r e s t r ingent pol icy" concern ing which incidents should become mat ters of Student Court concern was des i rable .
K L E I N SAID tha t two pro-blems which faced the Court this yea r were the p r o m p t hand l ing of cases as they c a m e up and the fol low-up on a pun i shmen t to see that it is enforced. The Cour t took steps to i m p r o v e enforcement t h r o u g h enlist ing the coopera t ion of residents a n d adv i so r s .
One of the Cour t accomplish-ments this yea r was a move to-w a r d the c rea t ion of flexible guidel ines in the h a n d l i n g of pun-ishment for cer ta in offenses. The cour t created severa l precedents to guide its successors . A fine of $ 2 5 was levied for misuse of Sla-ter meal tickets. Another prece-dent, s t emming f r o m the case which resulted in a deadlocked N e x u s Commit tee , holds that a s tudent over 21 who is caugh t d r i n k i n g with m i n o r s is subject to college discipline as responsi-ble for the others ' actions.
S H I E L S P O I N T E D OUT that s tudents often a re in " d o u b l e jeo-p a r d y " with the local police and the College. Six of the cases in-vo lved the police d u r i n g the past year .

CHARLIE L A N G E L A N D , hard-hi t t ing Dutch thi rd-sacker , , went 2 for 6 in S a t u r d a y ' s twin bill to end the season with a . 4 5 9 ba t t ing average . Official league statistics had not been released as the a n c h o r went to press, thus l eav ing the MIAA ba t t ing c h a m p as yet uncrowned.
The hero of the first g a m e was pinch-hitter Dan Krueger . With the contest tied 4 - 4 in the last of the seventh, catcher T o m Pelon led off by reach ing first on a n e r ro r by A d r i a n shor t s top McPeek.

HOWEVER, the ra l ly was far f rom over . L a n g e l a n d hit an 0 - 2 pitch to the left-centerfield fence on one bounce for a two-bagge r which sent Frens to third.
