To Consider Changes

Board To View Women's Rules By George Arwady

a n c h o r Editor

Several proposed changes in women ' s regula t ions will soon be considered by the new Adminis-trat ive Affairs Board or its com-mittees.

T H E PROPOSAL TO abol ish h o u r s for senior women and to institute a key system for coeds with parental permission will be the "first piece of bus iness" for the -newly created Adminis t ra t ion Affairs Board , accord ing to Dean of Students Robert De Young.

Last yea r ' s Student Life Com-mittee passed the p roposa l and sent it to the Adminis t ra t ive Coun-cil for final considera t ion. The Adminis t ra t ive Council post-poned action until the new B o a r d was organized this year.

President Calvin A. Vander Werf, c h a i r m a n of the Adminis-trative Af fa i r s 'Board , said that the Boa rd will n o r m a l l y meet thisi year on the first and third Mon-d a y of each month , but that he would call a special meeting to consider the no-hours p roposa l .

U N D E R T H E PLAN passed by last yea r ' s SLC, coeds would be required to sign out a d o r m key before the n o r m a l closing

hour and return it the next day . Girls coming in late would be

respons ib le for the outside d o o r s being locked. Lending keys would be forbidden. According to the p r o p o s a l , girls not complying with the regula t ions would lose opt ional hour privileges for a semester.

A ques t ionna i re distributed by the Associat ion of Women Stu-dents found that 8 8 per cent of a s ample of 40 per cent of Hope coeds f avored the plan.

IN A D D I T I O N TO the no-h o u r s p roposa l , two other changes in c a m p u s regula t ions will soon be discussed in new committees or b o a r d s .

A p lan offered last year to re-lax dress regula t ions on the cam-pus will soon be considered by the Adminis t ra t ive Affairs Boa rd or one of its s t and ing committees. This plan, cal l ing for the adop-tion of a "nea t and c lean" stan-d a r d for dress, was tabled at the last sp r ing meeting of the SLC for fur ther study.

The plan to adopt parietal h o u r s for men 's c a m p u s dormi tor ies was likewise tabled by the SLC in May in order to allow fur ther s tudy this year. According to Dean De Young, this p roposa l allow-ing girls to visit in men 's r o o m s will a lso fall into the a r ea of con-

cern of the Adminis t ra t ive Affairs Board and its s tand ing commit-tees.

The conference will fo rmal ly end with Vespers on S a t u r d a y eve-ning. Buses will re turn to Hope follo.vwnR breakfas t on S u n d a y morn ing .

This event has been t radi t ion-ally known as the Geneva Re-treat. The word "confe rence , " s ays Rick Veenstra, C h a i r m a n of the Board of Trustees of the Student Church , " h a s replaced 'retreat" because the pu rpose of the experience at C a m p Geneva is to meet as persons in the midst of discussion centering a r o u n d specific life p roblems in the Hope College c o m m u n i t y . "

T H I S C O N F E R E N C E IS open to a n y interested student of Hope College. Cost for the weekend is $3 .50 for b o a r d e r s and $5 .50 for non-boarders . This includes t r anspor t a t i on , mea ls and lodg-ing for the weekend. Reservat ions and more informat ion can be ob-tained on M o n d a y and Tuesday in the lobby of Van Raal te Hall.

Voorhees Hall Reinodeling Set To Begin Soon

The remodel ing of Voorhees Hall, tentatively scheduled for this past summer , h a s been resche-duled to begin d u r i n g this school yea r and completed this coming summer , accord ing to T r e a s u r e r and Director of F inanc i a l Affairs Clarence Handlog ten .

" B E C A U S E OF T H E need for a change in the f inanc ia l plan-n ing ," said Mr. Hand log ten , " the f u n d s could not be m a d e avail-able to meet the tentative schedule for remodel ing ."

Mr. Handlog ten sa id that the matter has been discussed at a recent meeting of the Boa rd of Trustees and that intentions to get going on const ruct ion have been renewed.

The remodel ing will be in two stages; the enclosed stairwells will be built d u r i n g the school year and the intensive room remodel-ing will b e ; d o n e d u r i n g the sum-mer.

A C C O R D I N G TO MR, Hand-logten, this plan is tentative, also, but much m o r e p r o b a b l e than that of last year.

In recent years the coeds living in Voorhees have become aware of the inadequa te fire escape fa-cilities and have often compla ined .

Antiquated Laws and Abortion Last year over five thousand

women died unnecessar i ly of a curab le disease. I 'm a f r a id that this year and p r o b a b l y the next will show equal figures. The ' k-ness" is the insensitive and anti-qua t ed attitude of our culture to-ward abor t ion.

WE HAVE WITNESS to the knowledge and practice of abor-tion f rom the earliest of recorded history, .lust a s ancient a re the m o r a l and legal prohib i t ions re-gu la t ing its use. It is time that we review our attitudes and our laws govern ing it.

In the ma jo r i ty of cases women desire an abor t ion for at least one of the fol lowing reasons: 1) the mental or physical health of the mother will be impaired by h a v i n g the child, 2) conception due to rape or incest has occur-red, 3) doctors have concurred that , in all probabi l i ty , the b a b y will be born deformed, 4 ) their family is a l ready too l a rge and an extra child would cause per-sonal h a r d s h i p and 5) the mo-ther is unmar r i ed and does not wish to continue the p regnancy .

THIRTY N I N E STATES limit legal abor t ions to the first rea-son. The rest include the second and only two allow for the first three. None of our 50 states pro-vides sanction under l a w f o r abor-tion in the last two cases yet these are the most prevalent r easons given by women for desir ing an abor t ion .

Within these laws between eight and nine thousand abor t ions arc performed each year . The opera-tion is conducted in the antiseptic su rgery room of a hospi tal by competent and conscient ious doc-to rs with sterilized equipment . The

patient is given care du r ing the' n o r m a l two to three d a y recup-erat ion period. This is considered a m i n o r opera t ion and is rela-tively safe when done proper ly . The subject of illegal abor t ion is, however, a completely differ-ent s tory.

OBVIOUSLY IT IS impossible to give an accurate account of how m a n y illegal abor t ions are per formed on United States citi-zens each year . Est imates r a n g e f rom a conserva t ive 200 ,000 to 1 ,200,000. " T h e Kinsey Repor t" states that 22 percent of Ameri-can women have had one or more abor t ions . This m a y be an over-statement but even at two hundred t h o u s a n d the contrast between the number of legal and illegal abor-tions is s tar t l ing.

The d a n g e r s of hav ing an abor-tion illegally are propor t iona te ly greater . One can never be sure that the person conduct ing it is a certified medical doctor. Even if he is, his competency and often his identity is unknown to the pa-tient. There is no rest and care received after the opera t ion; one must leave immediately. Prices are exorbi tan t . N o professional counsel ing is given which m a y relieve one 's anxiety or pe rhaps offer gu idance before or after the opera t ion . Besides the possibility of any physical muti la t ion, pro-bab ly the worst aspect is the feel-ing that one has taken part in some clandest ine act and is a cr iminal .

WOMEN FROM LOWER in-come brackets a re especially sus-ceptible to r isky, cheap abor t ions . Not being able to secure five hun-dred to a t h o u s a n d dol lars , they are forced to resort to abor t ion

ists who charge at least a high two-figure number for their often somewha t less than adept use of an old twisted coat hange r and a pail of hot water.

Low income famil ies and min-ority g roups , however, are not the sole seekers of abor t ions . It is estimated that women of high income and middle class families have a lmost as m a n y abor t ions per year . Also, unwed mothers do not compr i se ^he ma jo r i t y ol illegal abor t ions , since four-fifths of all illegal abo r t i ons are per formed on mar r i ed women.

I F I N D IT impossible to con-demn all of these women as im-mora l and cr iminal , but that is exactly what our society does in view of the present laws.

Why should a child be forced onto a family which is too la rge a l ready or to pa ren t s who feel that they are too old to raise another child? This is especial-ly relevant in s i tuat ions of po-verty families. Why should an unwed mother be m a d e to c a r r y a b a b y which she will p r o b a b l y end up giving a w a y ? Why should 4 8 of our United States disal low the abor t ing of a fetus which has over a 50 percent chance of being bo rn de fo rmed?

T H E CLASSIC A R G U M E N T given to s ta lemate a n y action on

liberalizing abor t ion laws is, "You are t ak ing a life when you perform an abor t i*» " This is a fine medieval line of reasoning and men will p robab ly go " r o u n d Robin 's b a r n " on it until their tongues fall out since the solu-tion can only be found in deter-mining what is " l i fe" itself. One can a rgue ad n a u s e a m about when life begins.

A second line of r eason ing ar-gues that the remova l of the strin-gent laws on abor t ion will weaken the mora l i ty of our nat ion by undercutt ing o u r respect for life. Aside f rom the fact the bir th con-trol m e t h o d s are legal (which seems to me to perform a similar function, but are a step prior to abor t ion) we should c lar i fy what we mean by "respect for life." This ph ra se does not merely apply to not killing an u n b o r n fetus, but also to p romot ing and maintain-ing the welfare of people of all ages, g roups , and nationalit ies. We can ' t emphas ize one aspect and neglect the others.

EVEN IF T H E fetus is con-sidered a h u m a n being that "mere-ly isn't fully deve loped ," should the welfare of the combina t ion of chemicals and tissues plus an un-known ingredient that we call " l i fe" be r ega rded of itself over the happiness and stability of a

w o m a n who doesn' t believe she could cope with a re tarded or de-formed child, over the y o u n g wo-man who a l r e a d y bea r s the men-tal scars of an illegitimate preg-nancy or over and a b o v e an en-tire fami ly uni t? I think not. Why should we suspend all other ethi-cal cons ide ra t ions when we con-front the word "life"; as if it is some mys te r ious t aboo?

Completely a b a n d o n i n g all laws concern ing abor t ion is cer-tainly not the answer either, but l iberal izat ion is necessary. In loo-sening our l aws gove rn ing abor-tion we can assure : 1) medical and legal safety for those desir ing it regard less of their economic level, 2 ) the possibili ty of struc-tur ing clinics for personal gui-dance and counsel ing to deter-mine on an ind iv idua l level why a w o m a n wants an abor t ion and if it is adv i sab l e in that par t icu la r s i tuat ion a n d 3 ) c o n c e i v a b l y abet-ter educa t iona l p r o g r a m for birth control and fami ly p lann ing .

I BELIEVE THAT we should revise our laws on abor t ion in order to place the responsibil i ty of the decision into the h a n d s of those who will have to live with the consequences. More than that we need to reconsider our person-al attitudes on a subject that cau-ses anxiety, pain, or, in m a n y cases, death to t housands of wo-men each year . The remedy to this deplorable c a r n a g e will not be found in the legislatures alone but in the responsible, conscien-

Higher Horizons Seeks Student 'Big Siblings'

'Learning To Learn9

Dean Sprik Stresses "Relating" Higher Hor izons , which gives

Hope s tudents an oppor tun i ty to work with d i s a d v a n t a g e d neigh-b o r h o o d children, will begin to recruit upperc lass volunteers next week.

T H E PHILOSOPHY UPON which Higher Hor izons has been built is " t o develop and moni to r a plan of services to meet the needs of youth who at the present time a re not handled by other agen-cies," accord ing to Bruce Struik, director. " O u r aim is to place greater emphas i s on affecting c h a n g e in those social and eco-nomic practices that lock child-ren and their families in f rus t ra -tion, apa thy , and d e s p a i r -depr iva t ion , del inquency and pri-va t ion of broken h o m e s . "

By work ing and p l av ing togeth-er, the Hope student at tempts to give his Higher Hor izons child m a n y oppor tuni t ies to give vent to his creat ive and m a n i p u l a t i v e talents. This informal i ty and the college students ' ability to meet with and work with school child-ren is regarded as Higher Hori-zons ' therapeutic t reatment .

MR, S T R U I K announced that 160 f reshmen responded to let-ters sent last summer exp la in ing the Higher Hor izons p r o g r a m . " T h i s is more than twice the fresh-m a n r e s p o n s e last y e a r , " Mr. Struik noted.

" T h i s increase can be accoun-ted for by a more intensive re-cruitment p r o g r a m this s u m m e r , " said Mrs. William Hillegonds, as-sociate director of the p r o g r a m . "Righ t now we a re in the process of cal l ing the e lementary schools for chi ldren for our p r o g r a m . "

V O L U N T E E R S HAVE A par-t icular kind of influence and ef-fectiveness on youth, Mrs. Hille-gonds noted. This re la t ionship is more informal , more subjective, emot iona l and direct than a re-la t ionship would be between a

child and a profess ional person or teacher, she added .

This difference can be attribut-ed to the college student 's know-ledge of the needs and desires of youth, his l a n g u a g e and his in-fluence on his child as a " n e a r peer ," she pointed ou-t.

Higher Hor izon children are encouraged to part icipate in the social activities t h r o u g h o u t the school year.

DON TROST» A g r a d u a t e of Hope College, now working part-time with Higher Hor izons , no-ted that the fall p r o g r a m will be-gin with a H a y r i d e on Oct. 12. On Oct. 26, there will be a pic-nic at John Ball Park.

There are a lso p lans for Hal-loween parties, a visit to the Shr ine circus, swimming and ro l l a r ska t -ing parties movies on S a t u r d a y af te rnoons , and a puppet show later on in the year . Hope stu-dents and Higher Horizon child-ren will celebrate Chr i s tmas Mexi-can style, complete with p ina tas . " T h i s , " Mr. Trost said, " i s to show the children that other cul-tures celebrate Chr i s tmas differ-ently than we do and it will a lso cater to the Mexican children in our p r o g r a m . "

IT IS BELIEVED that parti-cipat ion in this p r o g r a m will great ly help the child to l ea rn to live in his communi ty . The effec-tiveness of the Higher Hor izons p r o g r a m is only as s t rong as the co-operat ive efforts of profession-al educators , college volunteers and lay members of thecommuni -ty, according to Mr. Struik.

It is with this combined effort and interest that children f r o m deprived ne ighborhood homes can develop into fine y o u n g peo-ple, accord ing to the director. The Hope student, by just spend ing a few hour s each week with his child, can realize the aim of High-er Horizons, Mr. Struik noted.

The Dean of Women's office, in recent yea r s the focal point of con t rove r sy abou t women 's rules, h a s passed this year into the h a n d s of Miss Jeannet te Sprik, a 27-year-old g r a d u a t e of Michi-g a n State Universi ty.

MISS SPRIK, ASSUMING her role under the new title of As-sociate Dean of Students, quoted the opin ion of Miss Jacqueline G r e n n a n , President of Webster College, that " h i g h e r educat ion is l ea rn ing to l e a rn . " In refer-ence t̂ ) a small l iberal ar ts school like Hope, Miss Sprik went on to say that the envi ronment of learn-ing m a k e s a great difference to the student.

" A student must learn to relate to people ," she stated. She feels this is a very necessary step in p r e p a r i n g citizens. F o r instance, each student, when at home, had a r o o m of his or her own. Now he must sha re it with one to two roommates . Lea rn ing to share . Miss Sprik stated, is as impor-tant as an accumula t ion of the mental fu rn i tu re of education. She referred to a statement that 90 per cent of what you accomplish depends upon how well you re-late to people. " A small liberal arts co l legecan remove provinciii-lism of b a c k g r o u n d and other bar -riers in the way to m a k i n g the stu-dent a well-developed citizen of our wor ld , " said Miss Sprik.

" E D U C A T I O N CAN HELP a student respond to his environ-men t , " said Miss Sprik. with a flexible " r a t h e r than fixated be-hav io r . A school such as Hope is set up to help students know themselves, the world and God, and then to become responsibly involved in each. The student, in o rder to get a long , must become involved with people.

In reference to the term " in loco pa ren t i s , " Miss Sprik stated that '

ACCORDING TO ONE critic of Mr. Schoenbrun ' s lecture, "If it is true that whatever happens a n y w h e r e in the world affects America, it is equa l ly true. . . that whatever h a p p e n s in Ameri-ca affects the entire world. Schoen-b run repor ts on the world signifi-cance of American political con-vent ions and elections, the Great Society and such issues as civil r ights and taxes, which Amer icans think of as their own internal af-f a i r s . "

Mr. Schoenbrun is a radio-tele-vision press cor respondent and au thor . One of the b o o k s he h a s written is entitled " A s F r a n c e Goes," which was judged the best book on foreign af fa i rs in 1957.

MISS J E A N E T T E SPRIK

she doesn ' t unde r s t and Hope well enough yet, but tends to think that Hope doesn ' t want t o t a k e t h e place of parents , but is here to help y o u n g people develop the to-tal person. The College is con-cerned with s t imula t ing their de-velopment, but as a college, can ' t be a parent .

MISS SPRIK F E E L S that " in loco paren t i s " doesn ' t mean a con-

trol f r o m the outside. She said that here she sees " a lot of stu-dent initiative and respons ib les tu-dent leadership f r o m the inside." In reference to the rules and re-gu la t ions of the College, she sta-ted that Hope is concerned that students gain all they can f r o m their educat ion , so they must have guidelines. This type of concern is not a lways possible at a l a rge universi ty and is one of the chief a d v a n t a g e s of a l iberal arts col-lege.

Miss Sprik feels that thes tudents seem open and respons ive to one another and the ideals of the Col-lege. " T h e r e ' s an ant icipat ion of learn ing here tha t ' s exciting -- al-most a real desire to get involved. There just seems to be a spirit at Hope, a high level of expec-tancy caught by the s tudents ."

MISS SPRIK F E L T that the main purpose of the small liber-al a r t s school is to help students attain their opt imal level of edu-cation and persona l develop-ment. She feels that there are m a n y resources w o r k i n g toward this goal here.

"Genera l ly I'm impressed with the s h a r p s tudents here," Miss Sprik stated, " a n d look f o r w a r d to a creative year of growth for all of u s . "

'New Colony Six' Heads List of Cultural Events

Conferences, concerts and lec-tures head the list of activities scheduled for this academic year by the Cul tural Affairs Commit-tee.

Included in these activities is the sponso r sh ip of the " N e w Colony Six," who will perform d u r i n g H o m e c o m i n g weekend. This g r o u p will be the second of four "b ig n a m e " b a n d s to per-form this year. Other g r o u p s are being contacted to par t ic ipate in Winter Carn iva l and May Day festivities.

According to Philip Rauwer-dink. Student Activities Coord ina -tor, final p lans a re being d rawn up for a conference in April, 1969, which will deal with Lat in Ameri-ca. Other tentative conferences in-clude a study of the explosive is-sues of the Israel i -Arab conflict in the Near Fast.

The Cultural Affairs Committee, in conjunct ion with the city of

Hol land , has finalized plans for a n u m b e r of C o m m u n i t y Con-certs to be held in Hol land , G r a n d Rapids and Muskegon . As in the past, Hope s tudents and their wives will be admitted to these concerts upon presenta t ion of their student ID cards . Tickets for per-f o r m a n c e s in Muskegon and G r a n d Rapids must be picked up in the office of Mr. Rauwerdink .

One of the lecturers scheduled to visit the c a m p u s is Dr. J o h n Randal l . Dr. Randa l l , au thor of " T h e Making of the Modern Mind ," is the a u t h o r of several articles studied in f r e shman phi-losophy . He will speak in Dim-nent Memoria l Chapel on Octo-ber 22 at 10:30 a .m. on the topic " N a t u r e and Historical Experi-ence."

This yea r ' s Cul tura l Affairs Committee, which will be appoint-ed short ly , will finalize plans for the sp r ing semester and plan the coming year ' s activities.

On Loose Ends W T N F I N I S H E D B U S I N E S S is a

f r u s t r a t i ng th ing. Not only does it s top all action that could proceed

beyond it, but it leaves eve ryone involved in a s tate of confus ion .

For these r ea sons , the p rope r adminis -t ra t ive bodies should t ake pa in s to d ispense with the unfinished inves t iga t ions a n d tab-led mot ions which are left over I rom last

year .

First, a mot ion r e c o m m e n d i n g tha t no d o r m i t o r y h o u r s be imposed on senior women is pend ing in the Adminis t ra t ive Affairs B o a r d . T h e mot ion is a sound one, and gives senior women credit for the ma-turity that their educa t ion surely has given them. The Admin i s t r a t ive Affairs B o a r d .should waste no time in pas s ing it.

Second, two mot ions a r e still on the table f r o m the Student Life Commit tee of last yea r . One deals with parietal h o u r s and the other u rges re laxa t ion of women ' s dress codes. These would a lso i m p r o v e the a t m o s p h e r e at H o p e , and the p rope r committee should invest igate them a s soon as possible.

The academic slate is not c lean, either. The Educa t iona l Policies Commit tee re-c o m m e n d e d last yea r that two requi rements fo r g r a d u a t i o n , n a m e l y the sen ior s emina r and f r e s h m a n In t roduc t ion to Liberal Studies requirements , be e x a m i n e d and

eva lua ted . These e x a m i n a t i o n s a n d eval-ua t ions a r e impor tan t and shou ld not be de layed . The p rope r o r g a n s of the new

commit tee s t ructure should m o v e imme-diately to complete the work of last yea r ' s EFC.

TO B E S U R E , the unfinished acade-mic business is more impor t an t . Howeve r , this does not justify a n y

f o o t - d r a g g i n g in d e a l i n g with ru l echanges .

N o fu r the r advances can be m a d e if other mat te rs a r e still h a n g i n g over the heads of the commit tees concerned . It is essential that cont inui ty be ma in ta ined between the old and new committee s t ruc tures .

We still believe that priori t ies should be set on t a sks at H o p e College. But setting priori t ies does not entail neglect ing tasks a l r eady begun. In o rde r to m o v e f o r w a r d , we h a v e to complete the work of the past This s h o u l d be d o n e without de lay .

'It 's what they call "patterned growth'

Art Buchwald On J u s t i c e Fortas

TH E MAJOR Q U E S T I O N before the United States Senate t o d a y is whether to adv i se and consent to

the n o m i n a t i o n of Mr. jus t ice A b r a h a m For tas to the posit ion of Chief jus t ice of the Supreme Cour t .

The issue before the Senate is much la rger than the merits of one appointee . 1 he real ques t ion is the fu ture direction

which the na t ion ' s highest court will t ake in its decisions.

This central ques t ion h a s been ob-scured by the dust c louds of con t rove r sy s u r r o u n d i n g the n o m i n a t i o n raised in this election year . The Republ ican-Southern D e m o c r a t coal i t ion o p p o s i n g Mr. For tas h a s cha rged tha t the Associate Just ice h a s been a political c rony of President J o h n s o n and thus viola ted the t rad i t iona l sepa ra -tion of powers between the executive and judic ia l b r a n c h e s of g o v e r n m e n t . They h a v e fur ther c la imed that l a m e duck John-son h a s no right to a p p o i n t a new Chief

Justice in the twilight of his tenure in office. These points in the oppos i t i on ' s a rgu-

ment a r e worth neither the sound n o r the fu ry which h a s been raised in their suppo r t .

Many justices on the Cour t h a v e been close f r iends , conf idan t s and a d v i s o r s to Presi-

dents without c o m p r o m i s i n g their work on the Cour t . The l ame duck a r g u m e n t is un-suppor t ab le f r o m the v iewpoint of law or precedent; it clearly is the President 's pre-roga t ive to n o m i n a t e a cand ida t e to fill a v a c a n c y at a n y point in his term in of-fice. Both these weak c h a r g e s seem to be tactics devised s imply to de lay the Senate vote until a Republ ican Admin i s t r a t ion can enter the White House; in themselves they h a v e little or no va lue o r pe r suas ive power

and seem to avo id the real quest ion raised by the cha l lenge to Mr. For tas .

TH E PRO-FORTAS forces c la im that the conse rva t ive coal i t ion h a s no

right to seek to de lay his a p p r o v a l by filibuster. They c h a r g e that the g r o u p

led by Michigan Sen. Rober t Griffin is out " t o des t roy the court.""

T h i s Democra t i c coun te ra t t ack to the G.O.P. c h a r g e s is equal ly weak and ir-relevant . Sen. Griffin a n d his allies clearly have the right to do a n y t h i n g in their legal power to s top Mr. For ta s . Likewise the C o u r t canno t be loweied f r o m its posi-tion of s u p r e m e judic ia l a u t h o r i t y on the bas is of one appointee . It would seem that

the p ro -For t a s suppor t e r s a r e a l so avoid-ing the central issue.

TH A T K E Y Q U E S T I O N is whether the Cour t will cont inue to m a k e de-cisions based on a l iberal interpre-

tation of the Const i tu t ion, inc luding the

first a m e n d m e n t a n d the due process clause. The Ear l Warren cour t h a s establ ished a chain of l a n d m a r k decisions based on this in terpre ta t ion g o i n g back to 1954 . Mr. jus-

tice F o r t a s and J u d g e H o m e r T h r o n b e r r y

( w h o s e appo in tmen t d e p e n d s on the Sen-ate's c o n f i r m a t i o n of Mr. F o r t a s ) a re clear-ly in this l iberal t rad i t ion . A vote fo r Mr.

For tas is a clear a f f i rma t ion of the recent trend of the Cour t ; a vote a g a i n s t Mr. For tas is a c lear c o n d e m n a t i o n of that s a m e t rend. This is the issue which should be the co re of the Senate debate; the other a r g u m e n t s cited a b o v e a r e merely irrele-vant a n d confuse the real ques t ion .

It is our convict ion that the n o m i h a -

tion ol Mr. Just ice For tas shou ld be con-f i rmed without de lay . We feel that the re-cent decis ions of the Warren Cour t in the area of civil liberties m a r k it a s one of our grea tes t Supreme Cour t s . It would be tra-gic if a successful f i l ibuster comb ined with

the appo in tmen t of conse rva t ive justices by a newly-elected President N i x o n led to the br ick-by-br ick destruct ion of the legal for t ress built a r o u n d the r ights of the indi-vidual Amer ican citizen by the Warren Cour t .

Readers Speak Out

Dear Editor . . . Editor's Note: This letter was written by Richard Rogers, instructor in speech and director of debate, after the printing of the last anchor of the 1968 spring semes-ter. It is a response to the decision of the Educational Policies Committee to drop Fundamentals of Speech (Speech 11) as a requirement this year. Mr. Rogers is now teaching at Wisconsin State College in Sevens Point, Wis.

A recent anchor reported the demise of Required speech for next year's freshmen. This decision is hailed by some of the campus community as most desirable— by others it is seen as a questionable ac-tion of dubious merit The reasons for this latter opinion are, at the very least, in-teresting.

1. TWO MEMBERS of the speech de-partment resigned from the Hope College faculty several weeks before the speech re-quirement was discussed in the EPC. One of the reasons for taking the EPC action was the difficulty in finding a good speech staff for next year. Yet, no attempt was ever made following the resignations to seek new faculty members—not even at the regional Speech Association meeting where many good persons were seeking employment.

2. A second reason given for the EPC action was the Haywood report. It is apparent that Provost H a y w o o d has little love for speech as a discipline. In his own words he states, "Prejudiced 1 may be. . . With what justice does Hope

Nixon: Old vs. New by Art Buchwald

As eve ryone knows, there a re two Rich-ard Nixons , t h e " o l d " Nixon and t h e " n e w " Nixon . It is not general ly known that just before the presidential c a m p a i g n got under way , the two Nixons had a bitter fight at a s t ra tegy meeting in Miami Beach. The " o l d " Nixon was told he was no longer needed, that the Republicans had decided if they were g o i n g to win in 1968 they were go ing to have to go with the " n e w " Nixon.

"YOU C A N ' T DO THIS to m e , " the " o l d " Nixon cried. " I ' v e given the best yea r s of my life to the p a r t y and you can' t throw me out now."

A Republican strategist said gently, "We ' re not throwing you out, Dick, but you had your chance before and you blew it. If you b low it aga in , it could mean the-end of the Republican Par ty . We can ' t take that chance ."

"What does the ' new ' N i x o n know about polit ics?" shouted the " o l d " Nixon.

" D o e s he k n o w how to get in there and f ight? Does he know how to hit them in the gro in and knock them over the head? Does he know how to accuse them of being soft on c o m m u n i s m and squ ishy on Viet-n a m and disrespected all over the world? C a n he slug it out toe-to-toe?"

" N o , Dick tha t ' s exactly what the Demo-cra ts expect us to do. But we're not go ing to p lay their game. We're go ing to talk abou t the forgot ten m a n who works and p a y s his taxes and we're go ing to talk about how wonderful it is to live in the s u b u r b s and how nice it is to go to the seashore in the summer t ime . "

T H E ' OLD'" NIXON JUMPED to his feet and yelled, "What kind of c a m p a i g n is that? J^ou have to g o for the jugu la r . Nice guys f inish last ."

The " n e w " Nixon said, "Sit down, Dick, and listen carefully. This is a unique election si tuat ion. We don ' t have to attack the Democra t s because they a re g o i n g to m a k e mincemeat out of each other. In order for H u m p h r e y to get anywhere in the election he 's go ing to have to attack L y n d o n J o h n s o n ' s policies in Vietnam.

Then to ueiend himself L y n d o n J o h n s o n is go ing to have to attack Huber t Hum-phrey. Gene McCar thy will at tack both of them, and all we h a v e to do is sit back and talk about c r a b g r a s s in the United States."

" It's too r i sky , " the " o l d " Nixon said. "You ' l l bore the heck out of the people. The public doesn ' t want a ' new ' Nixon. I hey want the ' o ld ' Nixon they used to

kick a r o u n d all the time. They ' r e used to me and they k n o w what to expect. You throw another N ixon at them now and they 11 all go out and vote for George Wallace."

ONE OF T H E R E P U B L I C A N strate-gists said, "Dick , you know that I have more respect for the ' o l d ' N i x o n than any-body in this r o o m . But times h a v e changed and we need a fresh image, someone , and I have to be f r a n k now, who can make the voter forget the ' o l d ' N i x o n . "

The " o l d " N i x o n pointed his finger at the " n e w " N i x o n and sc reamed, " H e ' s out to get my job. Do you think he could ever get the g o o d s on Alger Hiss or debate the cold w a r with K h r u s h c h e v in a kitchen or get pelted with rotten vegetables in South America? You bet y o u r sweet life he couldn' t . Now, after all I 've done, old Tricky Dick is gett ing the heave-ho f rom the p a r t y . "

The " n e w " N i x o n said sad ly , " I ' m sor ry you had to b r i n g it down to per-sonalities, Dick. I was hop ing that because of what the pa r ty m e a n s to you that you would suppor t me and get behind me, if not for my sake, then for Ike 's ."

T H E "OLD" NIXON s ta red at the floor and one of the men sa id , "We still need you, Dick. You could p lay a big part in this election. We can use y o u r tac-tics and your experience in gut f ight ing ."

The " o l d " Nixon said f inal ly , "What do you want me to d o ? "

'Will you become Spiro Agnew's cam-paign m a n a g e r ? "

Campaign Spotlight—68

Round Three — 1968 B y C a n d y M a r r

The third and , hopefully, iinal round of C a m p a i g n ' 68 is under-way, albeit without the degree of hoop la w h i c h characterized rounds one and two. And, very likely, this m a r k e d lack of en-thusiasm can be attributed to the t r emendous shock and excitement of those first two rounds .

Scarcely has one presidential year seen so m a n y surprises, so m a n y firsts and, regret tably, such t ragedy. When the year began , the political scene seemed relative-ly calm and the outcome assured. It looked like LB.) versus Nixon in the big one in November . Then round one -- the pr imar ies - be-gan , and the shocks came thick and fast.

Clean Gene Mc C a r t h y , looking about as threa ten ing as H a r o l d Stassen, was the first fo rmal en-try into the quest for the impos-sible dream. George Romney, al-legedly b r a inwashed on the war, declared he was completely washed-up after New Hampshi re . LB.J announced he was out, and

Bobby Kennedy fo rmal ly an-nounced he was in.

Veep H H H , d isdain ing to leave the admin i s t r a t ion without an ad-vocate, j umped in, too. Rocky declared his cand idacy a threat to pa r ty unity only to decide later it was a heal thy threat. And round one drew to a tragic close with the death of Sen. Kennedy just when his prospects for an August victory were looking so much brighter .

Hound two got off to a slow start, but the youth who played so vital a role in the McCarthy and Kennedy p r i m a r y efforts con-tinued to work diligently for p]u-gene, for Rocky, and , to a much lesser degree, for Nixon and Hum-phrey. Convent ion time itself saw the b o r e d o m of a cut-and-dried Republican ga the r ing broken on-ly by racial violence in Miami and a short , abor t ive chal lenge to N i x o n ' s chosen runn ing mate.

If Miami Beach was dull, Chi-c a g o was any th ing but. The riot-ing and police brutal i ty were hard-ly needed to enliven a convent ion

Playtex* invents the first-day tampon" (We took the inside out to show you how different it is.) Outside; it's softer and silky {not c a rdboa rdy ) . Inside: it's so extra abso rben t . . . it even protects on your first day. Your worst day!

In every lab test against the old cardboardy k i n d . . . the Playtex tampon was always more absorbent.

Actually 4 5 % more absorbent on the average than the leading regular t ampon.

Because it's different. Actually adjusts to you. I t flowers out. Fluffs out. Designed to protect every inside inch of you. So the chance of a mishap is almost zero! i i i i p : r- -Try it fast. 1 i f e S Why live in the past?

a l r eady f r augh t with bitter plat-fo rm fights and run in a man-ner which, most hoped, was the final ga sp of the old plitical bos-sism.

Yet, if the Democratic conven-tion did more to hasten the d o o m of the convention system, it a lso held more hope for the fu ture of American politics in general . P'or, if the Democrats had their Mayor Daley, they a lso had Ted Kennedy, Jesse Unruh a n d J u l i a n Bond.

Round two closed on a m o r e optimistic note than round one. It had seen black nominees for both president and vice-president and the choice of immigran t s ' sons with such unlikely n a m e s as Marciszewski and Anagnosto-poulos as their part ies ' VP no-minees. And it saw the nomina-tion of a fo rmer ly unsuccessful c and ida t e for the nomina t ion and a once-defeated presidential can-dida te as their part ies ' s t a n d a r d -bearers . Most impor tan t , it g a v e rise to an ever- increasing d e m a n d for the aboli t ion of the nomina t ing convention and the electoral col-lege as m a j o r ins t ruments in the election process.

So now round three has begun and the abnormal i t i es have not ceased. It a p p e a r s that, for the first time since 1936, the Demo-cratic cand ida te has less than ma-jor i ty back ing f rom l abor union rank-and-fi le. It fur ther a p p e a r s that , like the Republicans in 1964, the Democratic victor will receive little if any suppor t f rom some of his ideological opponen ts within the party.

With the w a r and the law-and-order quest ion r ival ing one ano-ther for dominance in the cam-pa ign debate, the black communi -ty say ing they have no one for whom to vote, and the ever-pre-sent, ever- threatening George Wal-lace capable of th rowing the con-test into round four -- the House of Representatives - the remain-der of round three promises to hold as m a n y novelties, if not as much overt excitement, as r o u n d s one and two. Whatever the case, no one will ever call 1968 a dull c a m p a i g n .

Hansen ISoiv Head Of Physical Plant

Richard Hansen has been ap-pointed superintendent of build-ings and g r o u n d s at Hope Col-lege.

Henry Boersma will cont inue to serve as pu rchas ing agent for the College, but will end his super-v i so ry role in the a r ea of build-ings and g r o u n d s in order to ac-cept the responsibil i ty of being coo rd ina to r of new facilities on the Hope campus .

Mr. Hansen , a Hol land resident for 2 6 years , was plant m a n a g e r of the Baby-Bliss Co. in Middle-ville before jo in ing the Hope staff.

'Corn-Fed' People Portrayed

In Library's Art Exhibition An art exhibit ion on the second

f loor of the Van Zoeren L i b r a r y for the month of September fea-tures por t ra i t pa in t ings by a c o n t e m p o r a r y , mid western artist, J o n a t h a n Waite, who describes his works as an attempt to p o r t r a y "subject ive aspects of men nur-tured in a mediocre, mass-cultured, middle-West environ-ment . "

The artist, who is a Fu lb r igh t Scholar f rom the University of L o n d o n and a Yale-Norfolk Scholar , s ays his por t ra i t sub-jects a re " re la t ives we all recog-nize in our own families who are not as much purveyers of m a s s

culture va lues as they are con-sumers and vict ims of this ' b o u g h t ' way of l ife."

Mr. Waite said that the h o r r o r one m a y be ab le to read between his b rush s t rokes must h a v e c o m e f rom " the inevitable deter iora t ion of the subjective minds of these people" w h o m he refers to as "corn-fed A m e r i c a n s . " *

N o w teaching in the h u m a m $ ties depa r tmen t in Moorehead State College in Minnesota , Mr. Waite exhibited his work a great deal in the midwest, including the Nelson Gallery in K a n s a s City and the Walker Art Center in Min neapolis .

g o v e r n m e n t h a s a l ready extend-ed a $2 million loan and a $1 million g ran t for that purpose .

"P re s su re to complete the new science facilities does not come exclusively f rom the science de-pa r tmen t s , " President Vander-Werf said. "We are beginning to feel the need for humani t ies and social science c lass rooms , and for this reason we would like to have the present science bui ld ing reno-vated for their use ."

' T h e cost of remodel ing the bui ld ing for science pu rposes , " the President explained, " w o u l d be greater than the original construc-tion cost. It will be much less costly to remodel it for less ha-z a r d o u s use."

" T H E P R E S E N T bui ld ing does not meet fire safety s t a n d a r d s , " he continued. " F i r e s t a n d a r d s for l a b o r a t o r y p u r p o s e s are higher than those for c l a s s room build-ings. Now the use of equipment such as bunsen bu rne r is a fire haza rd . However , if the bui ld ing uere used by the social science or humani t ies , the greatest fire ha-zard would be David C la rk ' s pipe.

" A second source of pressure is the deadl ine of the gove rnmen t loan. The or ig ina l terms of the loan specified that construct ion must begin before J a n u a r y 1, 1969 . " The College, acco rd ing to Dr. VanderWerf has been g r an t ed an extension, and the Adminis t ra t ion is now p r e p a r i n g a t imetable to be used by the fed-eral gove rnmen t to determine how long that extension will be.

" F o r these r ea sons , a l though we are not push ing projects like the physical educat ion facilities in the b a c k g r o u n d , we must move very rap id ly toward the complet ion of the new science bu i ld ing , " the lYe-sident said.

" " I would p ropose , " he cont inued, " t h a t a l ternate courses be included to give the student an option.

Washington, D.C. The J o h n s o n Adminis t ra t ion

is m o v i n g ahead with p lans to increase the United States com-bat capabi l i ty in West G e r m a n y while cutt ing back on adminis-trative and suppor t forces in Europe. Officials in Washing-

ton sa id that the U.S. was pre-par ing to send four s q u a d r o n s of F-4 p h a n t o m fighter bomb-ers to G e r m a n y for ma-neuvers, followed by two bri-gades of mechanized infantry, and that it was still p l ann ing to wi thdraw 3 5 , 0 0 0 to 4 0 , 0 0 0 adminis t ra t ive t roops .

Defense Secretary Clark Clif-ford said 2 0 , 0 0 0 to 4 0 , 0 0 0 ad-dit ional U.S. t roops m a y be sent to Europe sooner than or ig ina l ly scheduled for par-ticipation in allied mil i tary ma-neuvers. Clifford asserted that the addi t ion of forces would be t e m p o r a r y and wouldn ' t repre-sent a n y U.S. plan to raise its-combat strength in Europe as

a result of the invas ion of Czechoslovakia .

The nomina t ion of Supreme Court Justice Abe F o r t a s to the posit ion of Chief Justice was a p p r o v e d by the Senate-Jud ic ia ry Committee. The pan-el's action, which had been ex-pected, sent President J o h n s o n ' s nomina t ion for Chief Justice to the Senate f loor , where the out-come is uncertain because of a threatened filibuster. Senate de-bate is expected to begin next week. Leaders of bo th parties have expressed doub t that pro-For t a s forces h a v e the two-thirds vote necessary to end a filibuster. Pending Senate ac-tion on For tas , the panel h a s delayed cons idera t ion of Hom-er T h o r n b e r r y ' s nomina t ion as Associate Justice.

The Nuclear Non-prol i fera-tion Trea ty won endorsement of the Senate Fore ign Relations Committee. The panel ove r rode objections of m e m b e r s who urged delay because of the So-viet-led invas ion of Czechoslo-

vak ia . The pact, signed by near ly 80 na t ions , including the U.S. and the U.S.S. R., seeks to keep nat ions that don ' t have nuclear weapons f r o m buy ing or bui lding them.

President J o h n s o n has decid-ed n o t . t o sell 50 long- range , 1,200 mph supersonic F-4 Phantom jets to Israel in the near future. The Israelis re-quested the jets last fall. Mr. J o h n s o n hopes to discuss pros-pects for an over-all Arab-Is-raeli settlement and a limita-tion on a r m s shipments to the Middle East with Soviet lead-ers if a summit conference takes place this fall.

Cross-country gets officially un-derway t o m o r r o w as the Dutch travel to Spr ing Arbor College fo r a t r i angu la r meet a l so in-volv ing Wheaton College.

New head coach B a r r y Werk-m a n expressed caut ious opt imism about this yea r ' s team, a s he has several re turning letter winners, but said the team would have to run in competi t ion before a true

estimate of their strength could be made.

Three senior letter winners spa rk the Dutch in their effort to improve on last year ' s record of 2-5-1. Head ing the trio is Rick Bruggers , an all-M. I.A.A. selec-tion last spr ing. Bruggers b r o k e several course and school records last year before he was hampered by leg injuries. If he r ema ins healthy this year , he might be conference c h a m p i o n .

Hope Kickers to Oppose Oakland Team Tomorrow

Six Dutchman Fumbles

In 28-13 Loss to Franklin

Costly

By Dale Laackman anchor Reporter

The Paying Dutchmen did every-thing but win S a t u r d a y night in their open ing footbal l contest at F r ank l i n , Ind iana .

COACH RUSS DE VETTE'S s q u a d ran more offensive plays, gained more total y a r d a g e and accumula ted an equal number of first downs. Still, they came out on the shor t end, 28-13. The big difference in the g a m e was that F r ank l in held onto the ball, while Hope lost it six times th rough fumbles .

The Dutchmen showed a fine abili ty to move the ball, with ba-lance between r u n n i n g and pas-sing. But it was when Hope re-peatedly threatened to score that the hometown Grizzlies got their big b reaks .

F R A N K L I N C O U N T E R E D the Hope offense with a potent pass ing attack that gained over 3 0 0 ya rds . The Ind i ana school picked up where it left off last season, when that squad set every team pass ing record in the pas-s ing book .

However, the loss wasn' t com-pletely d immed. Hope fans can look for br ight things f rom jun-ior ta i lback Nate Bowles. The transfer student f r o m Rutgers Uni-versity racked u p 201 y a r d s in 20 carr ies for an excellent 10-y a r d a v e r a g e per ca r ry . Bowles showed power, ba lance and speed on s lash ing runs of 40, 50 and 62 ya rds , l eav ing the F r a n k l i n defense stunned.

A F I N E PERFORMANCE w a s also turned in by end Bill Bek-kering, a member of last yea r ' s basketba l l team, who caught fou r passes for 68 y a r d s and a touch-down. He also handled the kick-offs and extra points for Hope.

The crowd was treated to s o m e thrills by Hope 's specialty teams. F r e s h m a n Phil Schaap of Hol-land , aided by excellent block-ing, was responsible for all of them with 168 y a r d s in punt and kick-off returns. A 77-yard punt

return set up one of Hope ' s scores. Coach De Vette c o m m e n t e d , " In

general , we were pleased by the overal l team p l ay . " But he a l so said that work would have to be done in e l iminat ing the num-ber of fumbles.

T H E COACH HAD words of pra ise for F r a n k l i n ' s q u a r t e r b a c k who set a school single g a m e pas-sing m a r k S a t u r d a y night.

T o m o r r o w Hope College aga in takes the road for an a f te rnoon g a m e with Lake Forest College in Illinois. The g a m e will be b r o a d c a s t by W H T C on both AM and FM, fol lowing the Detroit Tigers game.

The team is look ing for a re-peat of last yea r ' s win over Lake Forest . They should win if Coach De Vette and his staff can " i r o n o u t " the mis takes encountered at F rank l in .

The Hope College soccer team will open its 10-game schedule t omor row with a h o m e g a m e agains t Oak land Universi ty. The g a m e will be p layed at Van Raal-te field and will begin at 2 p.m.

HOPE HAS A new soccer coach in Bill Vanderbi l t as well as an experienced s q u a d including nine returning lettermen. Coach Van-bilt said his squad would be of-fensive minded, s t ress ing " t e a m " offense and defense ra the r than strictly individual efforts.

The squad will be " l o o k i n g for opportuni t ies to score, t ry ing to capitalize on opponents mis takes and a lways p lay ing for the win" in attempt to improve on last season ' s 5-5-1 record, acco rd ing to coach VanderbUt. Hope has been work ing h a r d in practice, emphas iz ing condi t ion ing and team play and will be ready to face Oak land , a team it defeated last year 6-0. Oak land is expected to be improved and tough and should p rov ide an exciting g a m e for Hope fans , the coach said.

Hope Invitational Cross - Country Meet Is Tuesday

Five colleges will be entered in the 3 rd a n n u a l Hope College In-vi ta t ional Cross Count ry meet Tuesday . The meet, which will be run on Hope ' s A.C. Van Raalte c a m p u s , will begin at 4 :30 p.m.

Compet ing in the invitat ional will be two-time defending cham-pion Aqu inas College of G r a n d Rapids, G r a n d R a p i d s J u n i o r Col-lege, Muskegon Communi ty Col-lege, Trini ty Chris t ian College of Palos Heights, 111. and the host P ly ing Dutchmen.

Aquinas has easi ly won the title the last two years . In the 1967 meet the Tommies totaled 20 points followed by Grand Rapids JC with 69, Hope 72, Muskegon CC 97 and Southwestern CC 112.

Defending individual winner is Hope senior Rick Bruggers . He established a new Hope course record in last year ' s meet with a clocking of 20:27 .8 .

is expected to be a strong runner. Dave Brueggemann is also back after a year's absence.

Round ing out this s ea son ' s s q u a d will be seven underclass-men. J u n i o r s Willie J a c k s o n and Dan Co lenb rande r and sopho-mores Rudy H o w a r d and Jim Matt ison a re being counted on to a d d necessary depth. P'resh-m a n runners Bob Scott, Pete Rey-nolds and Gene Haulenbeek have a l so looked impressive in ea r ly drills.

Last year ' s c h a m p i o n , Adr ian , is the pick to repeat as c h a m p i o n this season. Hope must be con-sidered at best a da rk -ho r se , a l ong with Calvin, to upset the loaded Bulldogs. The Dutch are handi-capped by the fact that only two l eague meets will be held at their h o m e course. However , it should be an exciting season . And, if the Dutch acquire some depth, it could be a winning season.
