Contract curricnlum program becomes reality by Gary Gray

The contract curriculum ap-proved last year by the Academic Affairs Board is now a reality at Hope, as administrative paper-work and mechanisms for its im-plementation have been complet-ed.

FORMS FOR application have recently been finished, and inter-ested students may now begin to prepare for spring semester study under the new option. Forms and information regarding the pro-gram are available at the registrar's office.

The new format, which shifts responsibility of study design from faculty to students, is the most radical departure from de-partmental majors and core cur-ricula yet offered by the college. Formerly the only variations on the highly structured theme had been the composite major and study sessions abroad.

HOWEVER, under the con-tract curriculum, a student could conceivably spend as many as six semesters affiliated with the col-lege in study totally of his own design, even away from campus. His work may be evaluated by Hope professors or, if he so con-

Famous astronomer to lecture at Withers

Noted astronomer and astro-physicist Dr. Frank D. Drake, professor of astronomy at Cornell University, will give a public lec-ture Tuesday at 8 p.m. in Wichers Auditorium. His topic is "Pulsars, The Strangest World of All."

DRAKE'S LECTURE is sponsored by Sigma Xi, national organization devoted to the en-couragement of original investiga-tion in pure and applied science.

Pulsars, recently discovered pulsating stellar objects, have led to the discovery of a new state of matter. The spinning stars made from this matter have the most bizarre environments known to man, flooding space with pulsed radiation and cosmic rays.

DRAKE RECEIVED the bach-elor of engineering degree in physics with honors from Cornell University and an M.A. and Ph.D. from Harvard.

From 1958-63 he was at the National Radio Astronomy Obser-vatory, Green Banks, W. Va., where he was head of the tele-

scope operations and scientific services divisions of the observa-tory. There he carried out plan-etary research, as well as studies of cosmic radio sources, and con-ducted the first organized search for extraterrestrial intelligent radio signals.

HE IS PRESENTLY the direc-tor of the National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center, Arecibo, Puerto Rico, associate director of the Center for Radiophysics and Space Research, Ithaca, N.Y. and a professor of astronomy at Cor-nell.

He is the vice president-elect of the Association for the Advance-ment of Science and Chairman of the Division for Planetary Sciences of the American Astro-nomical Society.

Drake is currently on a Sigma Xi speaking tour that includes Abbott Laboratories, Northern Michigan University, Wayne State University, Beloit College, and Hope.

tracts, by professionals outside the college. The structure of the contract curriculum makes all variations and combinations of these options more available to the student.

According to the contract doc-ument, the contract curriculum is an alternative program for achiev-ing the educational objectives of the college. As stated in the col-lege catalog, these include the ability to understand, evaluate and communicate ideas, a broad-ened awareness which transcends the provinciality of the student 's earlier thinking, the ability to engage in intensive study and a sense of the interrelatedness of knowledge.

THE FORMULATION of the contract plan was based on the assumption that there are some students here eager for more self-determination in their education, and who are intellectually mature enough to fulfill the college objec-tives in a more independent framework.

Under the plan, students would first pick a faculty member as their "mentor . " Together they would make up one party of the contract. The mentor is to assist the student in formulating a cur-riculum plan. According to Asso-ciate Dean for Academic Affairs John Stewart, faculty endorse-ment of a student for the program will be first proof of the student 's maturity.

THE STUDENT must also pro-vide three letters of recommenda-tion and a transcript. On the basis of this evidence and an interview, a committee composed of the Associate Academic Dean, a pro-fessor of the dean's choosing and two faculty members selected by the student and his mentor will determine if the student is suited for the study outlined in his con-tract. The Committer is the se-cond party of the contract.

The contract document stresses the importance of the contract 's content and advises that the stu-dent and his mentor take great care in its writing. It demands that the contract state the educational objectives and means for carrying them out, provide criteria for eval-uation, acknowledge educational risks involved, and make provi-sions for "statements of progress" to the faculty contract commit-tee. Statements of progress in-clude oral examinations and/or the presentation of papers or spe-cial projects.

STEWART POINTED out that there are serious risks for those opting for the program. One is the high costs incurred when students choose to study or work off-campus. Another is the fact that few professional graduate schools will acknowledge grades earned in such a program.

Students wishing to enter grad school would have to prove their competence by standardized tests and other methods. Stewart ad-mitted that students desiring grad-uate education would probably be better off choosing a depart-mental or composite major.

FORMULATING the contract will be a considerable task in itself. First, of course, the student must define sharply his career goals. Secondly, he must research (possibly with the help of his mentor and/or other profession-als) means for achieving those goals. Some time may be given to the student under his contract for research to determine the best course of study to meet his needs.

More concretely, Stewart offers some examples of feasible curriculum plans.

"LET'S SAY A student is in-terested in consumer protection and the ethics involved. While some courses here might address this problem, he migjit wish to study the problem in more depth. His contract plan might include independent study of consumer

law and social ethics. This might take a semester or two.

"He may then desire working experience with a group such as. Nader's Raiders. After that expert-.5

ence he may study some more and evaluate what he has found. His findings might be exhibited in a ; paper submitted to the contract * committee.

" IT MAY SOUND easy and fun, and it certainly should be enjoyable, but the committee will be looking for hard evidence of intellectual exercise both in the terms of the contract and later as the student becomes involved in research or study.

Stewart indicated that one stu-dent had already made tentative plans for a contract program. Now a Senior, he would leave Hope for the remainder of his senior year to do cancer research at a western laboratory. He has asked that a group of pathologists at a neigh-boring hospital evaluate his work.

ON THE BASIS of that evalua-tion the contract committee will determine if he has fulfilled Hope's requirements for a Bache-lor of Arts degree. The student has requested neither letter grades nor assignment of conventional credit.

Similarly, students could pur-sue independent research and study and working experience i i^ an infinite variety of schemes. These might include independent study within a department, enroll-ment in an existing course or in independent endeavors or combi-nations of the three.

STEWART STATED that the program ofters new opportunities to better fulfill the college's stated objectives. Offering opportunities for work and research directly related to the student 's field of interest, the plan gives the student a chance to relate what he learns to actual needs and experiences of professional life.

"This program will be student-generated," Stewart said. "The program provides the means,- but actual implementation, almost be-cause of the independent nature of the study plan, will have to be done by students. Since there is no minimum G.P.A. requirement for application, virtually every Hope student is eligible.

To further inform the college community about the opportuni-ties of the program, the Dean's office will publish a catalog de-scribing each contract proposal approved. Also, Stewart, as direc-tor of the program, will gather resource materials helpful to stu-dents, mentors and contract com-mittee members in carrying out their respective roles.

AAB hears another curriculum

proposal Wed; takes no action The Academic ^Aftairs Board

heard a curjictnum proposal on Wednesday^offered by Professor of Physicfc James Van Putten.

THE rLAN HAD no specific course offerings, but it contained four general conclusions: There exists a need for diverse programs; we must teach skills as well as appreciation; the most important language today is mathematics; and our graduates must be able to understand and apply science and technology.

Because the modern world has a scientific and technological base, a person must have knowledge and skills in these areas if he is to survive. Van Putten stated. Those who do not have the technological skills will either make their deci-sions in ignorance or have deci-sions forced on them by those with scientific competence.

AS AN EXAMPLE of the in-creasing importance of science. Van Putten showed the board several transistor circuits. "What are now human efforts will of ten be replaced by such devices," he declared.

Associate Professor of Commu-nication Jack Hopkins comment-ed that there is a need for the education department to make

students aware of possible new ways of teaching.

The proposal is based on Van Putten's analysis of the Hope stu-dent body. He observed that stu-dents are primarily doers rather than contemplators and "they look to education as a way to help them do the things their parents were not able to do."

VAN PUTTEN ASSERTED that there is a need for the gradu-ate to use mathematics fluently. "The graduate that can do so will be able to better master the com-plex world in which he lives,'1 he said.

Associate Professor of Religion Robert Coughenour questioned the analysis, saying that math is not proven to be the most neces-sary language. "Technology is locked into one epistemology. Empirical thought must be balanc-ed," he concluded.

Van Putten was convinced that a knowledge of mathematics will be necessary for survival and that there will be an acceleration in the pace of applying analytical methods to ordinary problems. Analytical solutions will be in-creasingly based on an under-standing of science and technol-ogy, he said.

"The state of Michigan is basically rural in nature, yet edu-cational research is directed al-most exclusively toward urban school systems."

THIS WAS THE rationale for the research in rural education Dr. Carl Schackow, associate profes-sor of education, conducted last summer. His research was in the five county area around Traverse City.

In his attempt to answer the question: "Where is our institu-tion's place in this search and what is our most appropriate role?", Schackow began his re-search by interviewing superinten-dents, principals, and school board members of the various five county areas.

THESE INTERVIEWS were designed to discover particular staffing needs related to rural edu-cation in Michigan, and to get a response from the people in those areas to a student teaching pro-gram. The interviews also in-formed Schackow of the Michi-gan Indian migrant worker's edu-cational concerns.

The reasons for the study were threefold: to identify the unique demands on and expectations for teachers in small rural commun-ities; to determine the possibility of establishing a student teaching program for Hope students in rural school systems; and to create a liaison between Hope College and rural school systems for the purpose of increasing teacher placement.

"1 FEEL THAT this educa-tional institution has a major re-sponsibility in assisting graduates in finding proper career possibil-ities," Schackow stated.

"Flashy clothes, sleek sports cars, beards, and long hair are generally looked at suspiciously by the people in these areas," Schackow noticed while engaged in the research. "The rural people have unchanging lifestyles. They react negatively toward anyone who threatens this lifestyle. The people in the community are do-ing the same things their fathers and grandfathers did in the past."

DURING THE entire research, Schackow said, one teYm stuck in his mind: "Rugged Individual-ism." He stated, "The parameters of freedom are clearly apparent in rural areas just as they are appar-ent in urban settings."

Schackow interjected here that rural attitudes concerning racism, prejudice, neighborliness, and love for fellow man need clarification. Most people see rural dwellers as bigots, but they aren't, he said.

Rather, they are afraid of any-one or anything that threatens their lifestyle, and react hostilely

to it. Yet, they are warm and friendly to one another and to those who accept them as they are.

Schackow added, "A black family would be hard pressed to win acceptance in most rural com-munities, not because they are black - but because they repre-sent change."

BECAUSE OF this opposition to change, Schackow found that good teachers are judged by their activity in community concerns. Also, teachers willing to accept the lifestyle of the community are more readily accepted than those who come with a "missionary at t i tude."

In order to work within their school system, one must under-stand their educational goals, he indicated. In the rural commun-ity, the school becomes the focal point. Teachers are expected to

relate the educational aspect of the school to the total com-munity. For instance, everyone becomes excited with the football team, the marching bands, and civic dinners.

TEACHERS ARE badly need-ed in these areas, Schackow re-ported. The total staff size is small. When one teacher leaves the system, his absence can be felt.

Having written a report on his findings, Schackow is now work-ing on the mechanics of it. A student teaching program in these areas is planned for next semester. Participants will be expected to live with families in order to become involved in the communi-ty.

In preparation for the experi-ence, interested students will be required to take specified courses for three weeks. The actual teach-ing will comprise 10 weeks.

Women to vie for cup in Oct. 28 competition

by Marcy Darin

The 1972 Nykerk Cup Com-petition will be held Saturday, Oct. 28 at 8 p.m. in the Holland Civic Center. The freshman and sophomore classes will each pres-ent a choral selection, an oration, and a play in their bid for the treasured Nykerk cup.

Nykerk began 35 years ago when the underclass women were "kicked o f f " the powder puff football field and brought to the stage by Dr. Nykerk, the creator of the annual tradition.

Lynne Walchenbach, general chairman of the event, is assisted by class representatives Jeanne Af-ton (freshman), Jan Koop (sopho-more), Sherry Meengs (junior), and Sue Bruggink (senior).

REHEARSALS began last Sun-day for the freshman song "New World Coming," directed by ju-nior Kathy VanderMolen. She is aided by classmate Esther John-son and freshman assistant Lydia Huttar. Mara Reitsma is the ac-companist.

Marianne Meyers directs the sophomore chorus in "All the Things You Are." Senior Sheila Schuller and sophomore Pam Leetsma are the assistant conduc-tors, with Mary Jane Meyers at the keyboard.

AN ORIGINAL 10 minute or-ation will be delivered by fresh-man Katie Solms. Her coaches are Marcia Dykstra and classmate Em-ily Ondra. Karon Noggle is the speaker for the class of '75, sup-ported by senior coach Vicki Ten-

Possess wide repertoire

Gregg Smith Singers to give concert The Gregg Smith Singers, the

most recorded professional chorus in the world, will present a con-cert with a repertoire that ranges from renaissance to contemporary music Monday at 8:15 p.m. in the Holland Civic Center as the sec-ond event of the Holland Concert Association's 1972-73 Great Per-formance Series.

Winners of three Grammy a-wards, the Gregg Smith Singers have recorded 24 albums. They have completed four European tours, appearing at many of the world's most prestigious music festivals.

Among their albums is the complete choral works of the A-merican composer Charles Ives. One of their Grammy awards was the recorded works of Giovanni Gabrieli on location at St. Mark's Cathedral in Venice.

Conductor-composer Smith es-tablished his group at the Los Angeles Japanese Methodist Church in 1955. Smith presently directs the choir at the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore as well as the Columbia University Glee Club. His wife, Rosalind Rees, is one of the soprano soloists in the 10 member group.

McGovern hits

Nixon on Vietnam in campaign stop continued from page I

He continued that America dis-honors everything it stands for by remaining in Vietnam.

IN ADDITION to his com-ments on Vietnam, McGovern condemned the loopholes in the present federal tax structure that favor the rich.

He stated, "I think it's wrong, for example, when a man making $200,000 can deduct his $20 mar-tini business lunch and a student can't deduct the cost of his balon-ey sandwich."

MCGOVERN ALSO referred to the president's $10 million in campaign contributions, of which he declines to list the contribu-tors.

"If that fund doesn't contain the boards of directors of ITT and the six major grain wholesalers (who allegedly were tipped off to the Soviet grain deal before any-one else) they must be ingrates."

The South Dakota Senator concluded his speech with his customary "Come Home Ameri-ca" plea, and appealed to Ameri-cans to honor life and liberty both in America and all over the world.

Day of Hope Today is the inauguration of Dr.

Gordon J. Van Wylen as the ninth president of Hope College, and, as the event's organizers would have us believe, the beginning of a "new era" for the institution. Today also marks, in a remarkable display of perfect timing and public relations expertise, the official announcement of the Build Hope campaign. Today is a day of optimism, a day of Hope.

Van Wylen has traveled the route from original consideration by the

anchor editorial

Presidential Search Committee to election by the Board of Trustees last January to assumption of duties last summer, to the pomp, circum-stance, and honor of today's inaug-ural ceremonies. Today is his day, but the future belongs to Hope College.

The president's task of providing the school with leadership and direc-tion during the next few years is a monumental one, but he is only one member of the Hope community, and does not exist in a vacuum. Students, faculty, administrators, and trustees, as many members of one body, have a responsibility to cooperate and communicate with one another if Hope is to continue to prosper - if the new era is to be a good era.

Van Wylen's election was marked with elements of distrust from some faculty and students, and with the kind of paranoia peculiar to a small institution experiencing an identity crisis. There has been some genuine fear that Van Wylen's evangelical Christianity would be a step back-ward for Hope, and that he might try to convert the campus. If these fears have not yet been dispelled, Hope College is not worthy of a president of Van Wylen's caliber.

Away from Hope, one hears only the highest praise for the man - as an administrator and as a person. His academic and professional creden-tials are impeccable; his gentleness.

personal integrity, and compassion and concern for his fellow man are unquestionable. Many see his per-sonal religious faith for what it really is: an asset rather than a handicap for Hope.

It is an asset because of the freedom which results from a per-sonal relationship with Jesus Christ. This is a freedom one wants to share with others; it can never be forced upon them. It is a freedom which allows others their beliefs and which allows - even encourages - them to seek the truth. It is in an atmosphere of such freedom that Van Wylen hopes to lead the college.

In his inaugural address the Presi-dent spoke of a crisis in higher education. The issues of values and relevance are crucially related to this crisis, because higher education with-out values and relevance will soon degenerate into a perpetuation of all that appears to be absurd in life. Without values and relevance Hope too could founder.

Hence the president's concern with goals and purposes. On a super-ficial level it would seem to be merely an ill-concealed attempt to delay any constructive action. As a long-range tactic, however, formula-tion of a statement of Hope's goals is essential if values and relevance are to be retained at this institution, if students are to leave here with more than a few facts and diploma. Van Wylen is a man with foresight.

His foresight is evidenced in another way by his enthusiasm for the Build Hope campaign and the improvements it will help bring about on campus. "Yet my enthusi-asm is not to make the campaign a success per se," he tolcf the anchor, "but to enable us to better fulfi l l our goals." Important as it is, the Build Hope campaign must be kept in perspective: the physical plant is not all of Hope.

Perhaps it is appropriate that both the Build Hope kickoff and inaugura-tion date coincide. Both point toward Hope's future. Both focus the community's attention on what the institution is and on what it can and will be. In that sense, today is the beginning of a new era.

foreign wars." One year later we were in World War 11.

In 1952, the Republican Party ran on a peace platform because Democratic Presi-dent Truman had failed to produce peace and President Eisenhower did produce peace in Korea, once in office.

The next time the Democratic Party tried the peace theme was in 1964 when Republican Senator Goldwater was called a warmonger and Democratic President Johnson promised he would oppose a wider war in Vietnam which would "result in our committing a good many American boys to fighting a war that I think ought to be fought by the boys of Asia to protect their own land." Some 540,000 American troops were fighting an Asian land war by the end of his administration.

On Oct. 9, 1968, Richard Nixon said that we would be justified in changing leadership if a party had had four years to produce peace and could not do so. Repub-lican President Nixon has reduced our forces from 540,000 to less than 40,000, but the de-escalated war continues, as the North Vietnamese reject compromise peace proposals.

Now are are being told to "Remember Oct. 9 " by a Democratic Senator who was supposedly the first Senator to oppose the Vietnam War in 1963. Somebody must have forgotten that Senator McGovern was not one of the two Senators who opposed the Gulf of Tonkin resolution in 1964. He supported President Johnson^ 1965 bomb-ing, and voted for supplemental war appro-priations as late as 1967. No hint of the fact that every victorious peace candidate of his party in this country has been followed by a war is to be found. We are merely told President Nixon has not pro-duced total peace.

I remember Oct. 9 with a sense of regret that more couldn't be done. I remember 1916, 1940, and 1964 with a deep sense of distrust. If American participation in the subsequent wars was necessary, then the Democratic party was dishonest in basing their campaigns on peace. If American participation was not necessary, then the Democratic party can be charged with bungling us into wars.

At the very least, I will not flock to a Democratic candidate who promises peace for the fourth time in this century.

The political television commercials are now starting to appear on our television screens. Some of them are pretty boring; others are rather tough on the opponents.

IT SEEMS TO ME that the men in charge of making up advertising campaigns for our presidential candidates could do just as well if they would take the TV commercials that are now on the air and paraphrase them for their own use.

For example, 1 could see Pat Nixon cooking a steak over a campfire. She says to the audience, "I've been First Lady for almost four years and yet I feel younger now than when Dick first took the job as President. That's because 1 exercise, get eight hours sleep, eat right and take iron for my blood. Dick treats me better now than he did when I used to wear a cloth coat.

JUST THEN WE SEE Richard Nixon walking toward Pat. He's dressed in a plaid wool shirt and blue jeans. He comes behind her and kisses her on the neck. Then he says to the camera, "My wife, 1 think I'll keep her."

Another one could show Sen. George McGovern and his wife in their home.

MCGOVERN SAYS, "I don't feel like going out and campaigning today. I just seem so sluggish and tired these days."

Eleanor looks at him and asks, "Is it uhhh . . . irregularity?"

McGovern nods his head sheepishly. "I have just the thing for it." She holds

up a blue bottle. WE CUT TO MCGOVERN at a rally.

He's smiling and happy. The crowds are cheering. He hugs Eleanor and says, "I feel great, thanks to you."

Eleanor giggles, " . . . and Snow White Formula 67."

Another commercial could show Spiro Agnew on the golf course playing with Arnie Palmer. Then the camera cuts to the country club locker room. "That was great

fun," Agnew says as he takes off his shirt. "1 wish I didn't have to go out now and face those rotten, miserable Hids. They hate me. 1 can't understand why.;"

ARNIE PALMER says, "M^ybe it has something to do with underarm perspira-tion."

Agnew says, "But I use a deodorant." "Yes," says Arnie, holding up a can,

"but maybe you need a dry one that lasts all day. When you're out campaigning, most deodorants won't give you 24-hour protection." Agnew takes the can from Arnie.

WE CUT TO AGNEW on a college campus. A group of kids, all with beards and wearing beads, are crowded around him and they're laughing. "We want Spiro! We want Spiro!" they start chanting. Then Agnew turns to the camera and winks. "Arnie was right. All deodorants aren't alike."

The final commercial idea could show Sarge Shriver. First he's eating a pizza in an Italian neighborhood, then he's eating a frankfurter in a Jewish delicatessen, then he's eating Polish ham in a Polish restau-rant, then he's eating an Idaho potato on a farm.

THEN WE CUT TO Sarge in bed with Eunice. He's groaning and moaning, "I can't believe I ate the. . . . "

"Don' t say it!" Eunice screams as she jumps out of bed and rushes to the medicine cabinet. She gives him two tablets in a glass of water.

THE NEXT MORNING Sarge, refreshed and sparkling, says to Eunice, "Well, I've got to go to a catfish fry at the All Souls Baptist Church this morning, so just give me some of your delicious scrambled eggs, bacon and an English muffin for break-fast."

Eunice puts her arms around Sarge's neck and smiles into the camera, "My husband, I think I'll keep him."

Farm workers seek justice in non-violent struggle by Molly Munnikhuysen

As many people are probably aware, there is a nationwide boy-cott of all iceberg (head) lettuce. It is time, however, to clarify many questions that people are asking about the boycott and the union that is leading it.

WHO ARE THE farmworkers and what is their union, the Unit-ed Farm Workers, trying to do? Why is lettuce being boycotted? Finally, the most important ques-tion to address ourselves to is: What can we do to help?

For many years different men have tried to do what appeared to be impossible in labor history: organize the migrant agricultural workers into a union to enable them to negotiate contracts. In the 1950^ a man was recruited by Fred Ross of the Community Ser-vice Organization in California to help him improve the conditions in the Chicano barrios throughout the state.

THAT MAN, Cesar Chavez, had been a migrant worker him-self. He was fully aware of what the migrant workers were going through and wanted to organize a union for farm workers. The pur-pose of the Community Service Organization, however, was not to form a union, so in 1962 Chavez left the CSO and started the Na-tional Farm Workers Association (NFWA).

By 1965 there were 1500 dues-paying members of the Union, and they were beginning to receive some of the benefits that have become a standard of the Union today: death benefits and a credit union.

IN SEPTEMBER of 1965 a-nother union, the Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee, went on strike in the grape fields of Delano. They asked for and received the support of the NFWA. After approximately three weeks, the strike was broken by scab workers.

During that time the two unions merged to become the United Farm Workers Organizing Committee (UFWOC). In Decem-ber of '65 there was another strike, this time on the fields owned by Schenley, and it was at this time that the first boycott was begun. The boycott of Schen-ley continued until April of 1966, when the pressure became so great that they finally signed contracts with the UFWOC.

SINCE IT WAS evident that a boycott was an effective way of pressuring the growers, the boy-cott then moved to the fields of Di Giorgio. In April, Di Giorgio opened his labor camps to Union representatives and a Union repre-sentation election was held to determine which union the work-ers wanted to represent them. (The choice was among UFWOC, Teamsters or no union.) The re-

sults were overwhelmingly for UFWOC, and even now in over 50 elections UFWOC has not lost one.

After Di Giorgio signed con-tracts, the Union began organizing in the fields of Giumarra, and in October 1000 workers went on strike to protest conditions. That strike was broken by a court injunction, but the boycott con-tinued as the only effective tool left to the Union.

OVER THE COURSE of the next three years the boycott be-came more highly organized in all the major cities across the coun-try. By July of 1970 the pressure on the growers was so great that they negotiated and signed con-tracts with UFWOC.

This brings us to the beginning of the current struggle for con-tracts with the lettuce growers. For about three months prior to the signing of the grape contracts, the workers in the lettuce fields had been preparing to strike be-cause of the unbearable con-ditions they had to endure. Most of the workers are forced to work 10 to 12 hours a day in stoop labor, thinning or harvesting the lettuce.

IN STOOP LABOR the work-ers must bend over the rows, because they use a short handled hoe to speed up the pace. On some farms workers are fired if they straighten their backs. Be-cause of the tremendous strain on

their backs they are only able to work for six to seven months out of the year and for only six to seven years.

According to the 1969 Senate Subcommittee Report on Migra-tory Labor: "Approximately 375,000 children between the ages of 10 and 13 perform hired farm labor. The most common reason for their employment is the low wages paid to the family breadwinner, which are not suffic-ient to meet minimum family expenses."

POISONING from pesticides is not unusual, and a study done by the Salud Medical Clinic in Tulane County, California revealed that "40 percent of 774 farm workers interviewed suffered pesticide poisoning symptoms." A Calif-ornia Health Department survey in 1969 revealed at least 150 cases/1000 workers of pesticide poisoning.

These conditions caused 7000 workers to go on strike in the vegetable fields in the Santa Maria and Salinas Valleys in August of 1970. The growers obtained court injunctions halting the strike, and a boycott of all iceberg lettuce was initiated.

BY NOVEMBER, three con-tracts were signed. One more was added in April of 1971, but that came to only 16 percent of all lettuce grown. In March of 1971 the growers agreed to negotiate, and as a sign of good faith the

Union called a moratorium on the boycott.

For seven months the Union and the growers tried to bargain, but the growers would not agree to any of the very basic provisions of Union contracts such as pest-icide control clauses. Also during this time, the growers were initiat-ing legislation in the California legislature to make boycotting and other Union activities illegal.

BECAUSE THE growers refus-ed to negotiate in good faith, and because no contracts were result-ing from the negotiations, the negotiations broke off in Novem-ber, 1971, and the boycott was resumed in full force.

This should give a basic con-ception of who and what the Union is and why lettuce is being boycotted. The final question is: What can we do to help the farm workers? Don't eat or buy iceberg lettuce.

TALK ABOUT it to your friends and send notes to Saga saying that you will not eat their lettuce until they buy United Farm Worker lettuce. This week-end, put signs in your windows to show your support for the farm workers and the boycott.

The United Farm Workers need your support. The struggle they are going through is very real, and they have been suffering too long. It is ironic that the people who are putting the food on our tables are starving in order to feed us.

Christian concern I found the recent article by

Richard Williams on the Christian radical's role in the new politics {anchor, Sept. 29) refreshing and encouraging. As one of possibly only two Mennonites in the entire Holland area, I have found myself confronted with a type of Christi-anity that has puzzled and dis-mayed me.

THERE ARE SO many church-es filled with so many people, and yet the community is known for its support of the president's for-eign policy. People will cry out against abortion, quoting "Thou

shalt not kill," and yet support a president who has killed thou-sands of innocent Asians.

Somewhere there has been a dichotomization of "religion" and "real life." On campus, hundreds of students participate in a Christ-ian Unity seminar while only tens join a group supporting fellowmen who could not in clear conscience fight in a war.

I BELIEVE that if the life of Jesus Christ showed anything, it was the concern and compassion he felt toward all persons, and for the whole of each person. Does that not then give those of us who call ourselves Christian the respon-sibility to do all we can to follow his example, to help create the best possible society for the well-being of all persons?

I have no illusions that the election of George McGovern or anyone else would create God's Kingdom on earth, but for me, not to vote against Richard Nixon would be an immoral act. For it would condone a continuing na-tional policy of oppression in Vietnam which I consider immor-al.

Williams also spoke of the ne-cessity for a Christian community to share ideals and provide love and energy to individuals who are trying to confront and change those societal norms which are in conflict with his or her faith.

I couldn't agree more. But I really have not yet found such a community - in a church or through the college. Perhaps I haven't looked far enough - I hope that is the case.

Nature, reason, history

SPONSORED

BY THE

M I N I S T R Y

OF CHRIST'S

The most telling aspect of any religion is the process through which, in that religion's estimation, it receives the truth. We will consider here three types of revelatory mediums: natural process, rea-son, and historical event, giving special attention to the problems and possibilities of the Judeo-Christian medium of revelation: historical event.

REVELATION THROUGH "natural process," as the term suggests, is characteristic of those religions which believe that the Divine reveals Itself through seasonal cycles and other processes of nature. The gods of such religions are intimately tied to the physical world, and correspond to its rhythm of birth and death, seedtime and harvest, summer and winter, etc. Such was the character of the Caananite religion, Baalism, with which the children of Israel were constantly struggling.

The second type of revelation is actually a reversal of the usual concept of revelation, that is, the communication of truth from the Divine to men. Through reason, especially as the Greeks began to conceive it, man is thought to have the power to search for and uncover the Divine. Using Heschel's paradigm, man goes in search of meaning, using the somewhat rusty tools of reason and philosophic inquiry to look beyond the vicissitudes of history and nature to eternal transcendent truth.

IN THE JUDEO-CHRISTIAN experience, divine meaning searches for man through the events of history. The crux of Christianity can be summarily sketched by reference to the historical events in which the Christian believes God has disclosed himself: Creation, Exodus, Exile, and the Incarnation, Death, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Lord of history discloses himself through the divine-human encounter of historical events.

Now the use of such a medium as history poses a few problems. The first is what I will call the "removedness" of histoiy. The life and ministry of Jesus Christ, since removed from our direct experi-ence by almost 2000 years of intervening history, must be conveyed through time by the witness of the church - more specifically, by the literature of

by Bob Van Voorst P E O P L E

the New Testament. This .fact places the 20th century Christian in the position of having to trust the authenticity of Scripture prior to trusting in the Person of whom those Scriptures speak (cf. Luke 1:1-4).

THE CONSIDERATION of the "removedness" of the Christian revelation in history leads us to a more basic question, one that lurks at the back of our minds: "Why doesn't God make himself fully contemporary and demonstrate his power to us in the same manner as he did to his disciples of the first century?"

Pascal also posed this question, and answered that God is fully able to disclose himself in every generation as he did to those of the first century. But rather than do this, Pascal reasoned, God chose to reveal Himself through the (relatively) short earthly life of Jesus, thereby revealing, and, in a sense, concealing, his purpose. But why?

Wishing to appear to only those who seek him with all their heart, and hidden from those who flee him with all their heart, he tempered the knowledge of himself, with the result that he has given signs of himself which are visible to those who seek him, and not to those who do not seek him" (Thoughts, Number 309).

Pascal states here that God has moderated, or "tempered," his revelation by enclosing it in a fixed period of history. Those who seek God will find him in the pages of history, Pascal says; those who do not seek will never see God, and may even deny the possibility of finding the divine will in history.

THE HISTORICAL Jesus had a disciple who distrusted history and the witness of his fellow disciples to the resurrection of Christ. Thomas sought to prove for himself, in the most empirical of fashions, the truth or falsehood of this claim by touching the nail-prints in the hands of a risen Christ. Having done so, he doubted no longer.

The response of Jesus is spoken to Thomas and also to those who have no opportunity to do as Thomas did: "Because you have seen me you have found faith. Blessed are they who never saw me, yet still find faith."

Hopeites and Holland residents Wednesday night had a chance to hear one of the most versatile and highly touted guitar performers on the contemporary scene, as the Charlie Byrd Quartet performed in the DeWitt Cultural Center Auditorium.

BYRD AND HIS sidemen played a wide spectrum of musical fare, but the latin samba-like motif he values so much was particularly in evidence. "The latin tunes aren't played very much today," Byrd states, "but they are particularly well suited to the classical guitar, and we try to do as much as we can with them."

The group's premiere number was "Wave" by the Venezuelan composer Antonio Jerobim. The satiny latin pulsations soon won the crowd over, as the group played "cool" with an unmistake-able professional spark. Hal Posey's brilliant trumpet tones blended at perfect interface with the sensual rhythms.

BUT THE GROUP quickly swung the music to a more domes-tic motif as they ripped into a Miles Davis/Chic Correa tune.

Posey again led the group in this contemporary jazz setting, which sometimes bordered on funk.

Slowing down the pace again, the group heavied out into some more Correa sounds, this time the silky-smooth "Crystal Silence." Byrd's intensity began to gain preeminence in this number and continued as the main driving force behind the group in subse-quent selections.

CONTINUING on the light side the group next turned in some soft samba sounds on A. Jerobim's "Teresa My Love." Punctuating the complex melody and full accompaniment which Byrd combined on the guitar were expertly timed sforzando chords which soon had much of the audience swaying in delight. The sultry textures continued into Argentine Astor Peazola's"'"Pre-lude for a Southern Cross," a tango.

The set really got funky when the group dove into a traditional American song (name not an-nounced) featuring some authen-tic blues riffs from Byrd's Ovation electric, and imaginative improvi-sations by brother Joe on electric bass, Posey and drummer Bill Reichenbach. The hefty Reichen-bach turned out to be Byrd's resident buffoon and during the

course of the performance "played" virtually everything within reach, including his bass drum case.

BYRD DEMONSTRATED stamina as he brilliantly executed several Spanish numbers forming some very bright and succinct, although complex statements. In moods varying from pensive to garrulous he performed complicat-ed melodic lines superimposed on ornate harmony, complicated rhythms. Wednesday's perfor-mance demonstrated graphically the versatility inherent in the in-strument.

Byrd chose as his only classical number the Sonata in D Major by Antonio Vivaldi. The piece was originally written for lute and string quartet, but Byrd arranged it for solo guitar, all parts being played on the single instrument. Byrd's execution was extremely clean, and one could easily imag-ine the various string voices as he played. Vivaldi's florid recapitula-tion of the first theme of the first movement was flawlessly ren-dered.

BYRD'S HAUSA guitar repli-cated perfectly the open harmony and contrapuntal bass of the An-dante. Violin sounds were imi-tated even to the difficult trills and pizzicati. Byrd managed a wonderfully intimate quality in the final movement.

Byrd's sidemen returned to round out the first half with another jazz number featuring trap, trumpet and bass solos, all imaginative and with excellent continuity. Joe Byrd's bass solo retained the thread of the melody throughout and gave this very adept player a chance to really shine for the first time in the concert.

Begins Oct. 26

POSEY ATTEMPTED some very intense and difficult riffs, most of which exhibited an un-faltering, driving sound. Reichen-bach's drum solo swept the audi-ence away.

In a short interview during intermission, Byrd and his com-patriots bemoaned tour life, ex-plaining that they all had families back home (Washington D.C.). This engagement was their sixth stop on a hop which will take them to Grand Valley State Col-lege Friday. Byrd has released two new albums this year under the Columbia label and just returned from a tour to South America and the southern states.

BACK ON STAGE again the group swung into two Neil Hefty tunes, and more progressive stuff on the Beatles "Something" and particularly "Goin' Out of My Head." Beginning with a pretty much standard arrangement, Byrd and trumpeter Posey led the band through some very progressive im-provisations backed up by Joe Byrd's tight bass lines.

Turning quickly to a more pen-sive mood, the band next per-formed Gilbert O'Sullivan's hit, "Alone Again." The subdued, sub-jective melody fit the words of the song well, as those familiar with the song knew. Soon the audience was swaying in very pri-vate reveries.

THE GROUP NEXT wound down to some super cool rhythm and blues as Byrd delivered some heavy riffs on the classic Ellington tune, "Just Squeeze Me - Don't Tease me."

The group's finale was a hype "Jesus Christ Superstar," replete with tambourine (played by Posey).

Seemingly endless applause and a standing ovation brought the band out for two more numbers, including "The Girl from Ipa-nema." Audience chatter fol-lowing the two hour session proved they were happily sated by the group's effort.

Build Hope fund

to launch public campaign tonight continued from page 1 dividual churches, businesses and foundations in the community.

PHASE HI WILL begin in the fall of 1973 with regional cam-paigns among alumni, parents, and friends of the college "in perhaps 15 to 20 areas of the country," according to Build Hope litera-ture. A three to five year pledge period is anticipated, and all funds should be received by 1976-77.

The Build Hope fund was be-gun by a resolution of the Board of Trustees as part of the Centen-nial Decade Master Plan. It was designed to bring college develop-ment within the first 10 years up to an optimal level.

TO ACCOMPLISH this, the developmental committee of the board saw the need to originate plans for an intensive fund-raising campaign with the goal of over $8 million.

Build Hope fund objectives in-clude a new Academic Science Center, physical 'education center, social sciences and humanities center, and creative art education center. Other objectives are the Hope Heritage Fund, faculty de-velopment, student residence pro-gram, and an environmental eco-logical center.

MON-FRI

10 am- 9 pm SATURDAY 9:30 'til 5:30

The Hope College theater and music departments will open the 1972-73 theater session Oct. 26 with John Gay's 18th Century masterpiece The Beggar's Opera.

THE CO-PRODUCTION, a wit-ty satire on public corruption and Italian opera, will run from Oct. 26-28 and Nov. I-4. Performances will begin at 8 p.m. in the theater of the DeWitt Cultural Center.

Set in the back alleys and taverns of London in 1728, Gay's work involves the misadventures and love problems of Macheath, the leader of a group of highway-men and a sort of Don Juan of lower class English society.

GAY SATIRIZES his society by filling the play with street people instead of aristocrats and the high bom. Thieves, pimps, trollops, fences, pickpockets, and even a crooked jailkeeper are the principal characters.

He also mocks the Italian opera, which was common and popular in England in his time, by using street songs and popular folk tunes as inspiration for the music. The result is the first ballad

opera, a forerunner of modern musical comedy.

The Beggar's Opera also pro-vided inspiration for Bert Brecht's Three-penny Opera 1 with Mack the Knife based on Macheath.

ACCORDING TO director John Tammi, assistant professor of theater, " the script has been pruned from the lengthy original and is now designed to be a fast moving piece." Although the original contained 69 songs, Gay's work is essentially dramatic rather than musical.

The lusty Macheath, played by David Bast, flirts with both women and the law. Secretly mar-ried to Polly Peachum, he also has the amorous attentions of Lucy Lockit, and is wanted not so amorously by the police.

ROBERT RITSEMA, chairman of the music department, will conduct the production's 15 piece orchestra, and Carroll Lehman, assistant professor of music, is musical director. Lehman also plays a principal role - that of Peachum.

Other major characters include Vicki Weidman as Polly Peachum, Gene Marie Callahan as Mrs. Peachum, Margaret Rose as Mrs. Trapes, and Phyllis Acocella as Lucy Lockit. Brad Williams plays Lockit, Davied Leestma is Filch, and Doug Neumann portrays the beggar.

THE THEATER department is planning three other major pro-ductions this year as well as sev-eral experimental plays. The chil-dren's musical Annabelle Broom will be presented Dec. 7-9 and 13-16, and Edmund Rostand's ro-mantic drama Cyrano de Bergerac is scheduled for March 1-3 and 7-10.

Concluding the season will be Harold Pinter's The Birthday Party, a contemporary work.

DIRECTOR OF costume and scene design for The Beggar's Opera is Richard Smith, instructor in theater. Michael Grindstaff, in-structor in theater, is in charge of lighting design, and Brad Williams is property master.

Tickets are $1 for students, and $2.50 for general admission.

John Jackson clarifies SAC budget, activities

Many students seem to be in a fog about the function of the Student Activities Committee and the utilization of the Student Ac-tivities fee. Where does the money go, and why is admission charged for some activities, are common questions.

Director of Student Activities John Jackson attempted to clarify why admission is charged for such events as the Charlie Byrd concert and the film series.

JACKSON SAID these groups and some movies cost more to bring to Hope, and "We charge in order to have some extra money for when the budget runs out ." He pointed out that by last April SAC had used all $12,300 of its '71-72 budget and had to rely on the $6,000 it had received from charging extra for certain events.

Figures show that last year's SAC budget was part of a total of $175,000 received from the $75 Student Activities Fee. Jackson

stressed that SAC does not receive all of the $75 from each student. Up to 20 other groups on campus, such as the campus publications, receive portions of the fee.

OF THE SAC budget, Jackson said, "A majority goes for enter-tainment, with 15 percent for publicity and a small percentage for student help in putting signs up, etc."

SAC officers were elected at its Oct. 9 meeting. Jackson is chair-man, freshman Chris Clemmens secretary, sophomore Jodi Jap-inga, treasurer, and Dr. Lamont Dirkse, chairman of the education department, is parliamentarian.

SAC IS DIVIDED into three committees: traditional events, entertainment and publicity. On the traditional events committee are students Molly Gates, Bill Whitlock, and Ron Sanford. Dirkse also serves on the commit-tee.

From the depths of Graves: 'Milestone9 survives Editor's note: This week's aA7c/7or essay is wr i t ten by David Dustin, former anchor associate editor. He takes a humorous look at one of Hope's " late-breaking" controver-sies, the Milestone.

It happened, as most things of this sort do, quite unexpectedly. No fine tingling in the air alerted my normally keen cognitive fac-ulties; indeed, no dull ache throb-bed aloft from my clairvoyant bunions. Passing through the base-ment of Graves Hall on my way to visit the notorious, "test-your-luck" vending machines to be found there, I automatically checked my pockets for my stock of change.

AS IT HAPPENED, on that dark and fateful night, a thorough going search of my garments pro-duced only four dimes and a nickel. I immediately commenced perspiring, realizing all too well that the odds were going to be heavily against me when I faced Bos' Bandits with such a dearth of hard collateral! It was too late to worry about that now, however. With visions of cold cokes dancing around in my thirst-crazed head, I

hurried on my hapless way down the hall.

As fate would have it, one of my precious dimes managed to slip through my sweaty fingers and bounced along the floor sever-al times, finally disappearing un-der the door of the telephone exchange room.

SEIZING fiendishly upon the door knob of the aforementioned chamber, I unsuccessfully endeav-ored to force the obstacle to yield and permit me the reclamation of that which was rightfully mine. Yet my labors were in vain, and I savagely rained a shower of kicks and blows upon that immovable object of my wrath, in a ludicrous effort to exact vengeance for my loss.

These strenuous efforts only exacerbated the exigencies of my already depleted physical state; besides being unable to speak or open my mouth because of ter-minal thirst, I was now in a profound state of breathlessness. 1 halted my sedulous exertions and sagged wearily against that ac-cursed door, silently mouthing dire oaths.

THEN, OUT OF the depths of my lugubrious sentiments, I re-

membered! I was carrying my ID card! O happy day! After apply-ing a bit of the survival skill acquired during old Kollen Hall days, the recalcitrant impediment soon complied, and I found my-self standing before a rather large room, full of various clickings and chatterings (not to mention the walla-wallas and bing-bangs, which were very much in evidence, too, as I recall. . .).

Banks of complicated-looking pieces of technology loomed up out of the semi-darkness, and seemed to beckon eerily, calling to my soul. All thoughts of my dime were dismissed as I was mystically drawn forward by some mesmeric force emanating from within the bowels of the room.

I SHUFFLED cautiously for-ward, gazing at the strange objects surrounding me. Spotting a large piece of equipment which looked like the old coffee machine from the Kletz, my heart leaped for joy! Something in my benumbed mind told me that my quest for liquid was over - as long as 1 didn't object to cold coffee. In my weakened, confused state, I reached down and turned what I thought was the spigot handle, earnestly hoping to be rewarded for my efforts . . .

All of a sudden, a panel in the far corner of the room swung open, as if responding to my turn of the handle. I walked over to ascertain what sort of chicanery was afoot. When I was closer, I could see that the panel's move-ment had revealed a dusty door with a faded "WELKOM" sign dangling from its knob.

SHAFTS OF yellow light were streaming out from under it, as well as through the keyhole. Won-dering just what nefarious plot by the Board of Trustees to reinstate compulsory chapel (no doubt) I was on the verge of uncovering, I slowly opened the door, filled with the zeal of Student Power.

"Well it sure took you guys long enough! Did you bring the pizza? Remember, my half had the double peanut butter-and-anchovies."

Strident tones assailed my ears. "Well . . . e r . . . no, I didn't ," I stammered, not sure how I should react, or even what I was reacting to: it had to be either Hope's resident FBI wire-tapper or the dreaded Ghost of Graves.

I STOOD IN the doorway, searching the room for some sign of my inquisitor; the place was really in a mess, filled with thous-ands of old Milestones, photo-graphs, and papers - all piled almost to the ceiling. Finally spy-ing a pair of saddle shoes peeking out from under a table laden with a pile of literature from the Tay-lor Publishing Company, I worked my way around, over, and through the debris until I could see whom it was I had addressed.

A woman who looked like she might be in her late twenties sat at the table, stamping the backs of a huge stack of pictures. She was

wearing (in addition to the saddle shoes) a perfectly coordinated midi-suit which looked rather authentic.

"What happened?" I ventured, referring to the rampant disarray surrounding us.

"WHAT DO YOU mean, 'what happened?' " she retorted, gazing up at me with venom in her eye. "You call that getting a pizza? / should have to do all the freshmen and sophomores while you're out taking a vacation - ?

"When are the rest of you guys going to knuckle down and do some of the work around here, anyway? I haven't even started thinking about the Campus Life section yet . . .!" Her harangue was quite upsetting, especially since I had no idea what she was referring to.

"Wait - stop! What are you talking about?"

"CUT THE PATTER, shnook! You can stop playing games any-time and start checking over these subscription receipts. Say, you don't look familiar - are YOU the photographer?"

No, I'm not the photograph-er," I replied, "and I'm sorry I forgot the pizza - if that 's what you're mad about - but 1 never knew I was supposed to bring it! I was on my way to get a coke, you see, and . . ."

SHE CUT ME off before I could finish: "Oh good! Then you came to join the staff! Take your pick: Greek editor, sports editor, class editor, faculty editor - you name it and it's yours."

The situation was getting exas-perating. 1 began to lose my cus-tomary rationality. "But you don't understand," I blurted, " - 1 mean I don't understand! I don't want to be any kind of an editor at all! I just want to get a coke."

" D O N T GIVE ME that stuff, kid! It's YOUR kind of student apathy that is going to drag Hope College down the trail toward secularism! Ask not what your school can do for you; ask what you can do for your school! A strong Milestone reflects favorably upon the character of Hope Col-lege itself!

"Don ' t you want to learn something worthwhile while you're here? Why, with our special training course behind you, you'll know all there is to know about meeting deadlines, making a lay-out and preparing dummies. Think of what this would mean on your record!"

"NOW SEE HERE! I KNOW what working on the Milestone would mean on my record and I want nothing to do with it - I've got enough black marks on there as it is!"

"Your petty innuendoes mean nothing to me, kid. You know, I had second thoughts about you the minute you walked in here without the pizza! Tell me some-thing: you aren't DUTCH, are your

"No, I'm not, but what pos-sible significance can that . . . "

"AHA! I knew i t - ! And I'll bet you're from out-of-state, too

- huh?" Her eyes pierced me to the very core, and the rest of her visage radiated a triumphant exu-berance. Whoever she was, it was high time that somebody took her down a few pegs, and I gallantly rose to the occasion.

PUTTING AS MUCH sneer in my voice as I could dredge up out of the depths of my barroom nature, I smugly countered: "Why no, I'm from Grand Rapidsl"

"SEE? A foreigner yet! What are you doing around here, any-way? Spying for Calvin? You're kind of a long way from home, aren't you, kid?"

That did it! My usually san-guine nature was dashed aside, and replaced by waves of asper-ity. . . .

"LOOK LADY, I'M NOT A FOREIGNER - OR EVEN A SPY FOR CALVIN! I GO TO SCHOOL HERE! AS LONG AS I PAY MY BILLS, THEY LET ME STAY! AND WHAT'S MORE, I DON'T WANT TO BE ON YOUR LOUSY STAFF - ALL I WANT IS A COKE!!"

Her about-face was infuriating. "Now calm down and stop acting so guilty! Since you say you go here, I'll just have to take your word for it, all right? Look, I tell you what I'll do: my original offer still stands. Any job you want is yours - providing you start now - we've got an awful lot of paper to push to get this book out by

BY THis TIME 1 had lost the will to fight; I just wanted to get away from that room. My head was spinning and my throat was so dry I could hardly croak. "O.K., 1 have done some photo-graphy. . . . But why does the book have to be out by Decem-ber'} Isn't that quite a bit earlier than usual?"

"You see, kid, this is last year's book - next semester we've got to do the Milestone for this year. But don't worry about it: things will move right along down here now that there are two of us on the staff!"

"Well, if you say so. . . " I began edging toward the door.

"AHHH, THAT'S the spirit! Spera in Deo\ Now look, I figure on doing a two-page spread on the basketball team in the sports sec-tion. Go out and get me some good shots of the star in action."

I was almost through the thres-hold! "I'll try. This is for last year, right? You mean Shinabarg-er?"

"WHO? No, I mean Floyd Brady. You're not making sense, kid - if this communications gap keeps up, we're gonna have trouble meeting all those dead-lines, I can see that n o w . . . . "

I didn't even wait to hear her finish. 1 sped out of that room and didn't break stride until I was safe within the confines of my own room! My roommate looked up from his desk as 1 streaked through the door. "Oh good, you're back," he said. "Somebody from the anchor just called; they want you to write something for the next issue . .

Van Wylen sees Hope as committed to truth Editor's note: The following are excerpts from President Gordon Van Wylen's inaugural address de-livered this afternoon in Dimnent Memorial Chapel.

The official charge has been given to me this af ternoon by Mr. Hugh De Pree. I accept this charge and will do my best, with all diligence and grace, to fulfill the responsibilities that have been placed upon me. In so doing, I look to God to provide the wis-dom and courage and love re-quired by this office.

ONE OF THE great privileges of the Christian life is that, having pledged our own best efforts , we can place our real confidence in a God of unbounded love who ful-fills His purpose through earthen vessels.

In one sense, as I mentioned at the outset, you're seeing me off on a journey. But in another sense, we're embarking on a jour-ney together. Here I'm thinking particularly of trustees, of mem-bers of the faculty and administra-tion, and of students - though in a larger sense this pertains to all of us.

AS WE TRAVEL together, we have the privilege of sharing one another's vision, of bearing one another's burdens, of developing a community of mutual concern and trust . We can work together to achieve our purpose and goals for Hope College, and at the same time develop and mature as indi-viduals.

This is my vision for Hope College as a community of learners and teachers and friends. It is a vision that I know you all share - a vision that some of you sustained for many decades before inviting me to share it with you.

THE CHANGE in my respon-sibilities is a tiny ripple on the surface of a vast and profound change - one that is only too familiar to you. I refer to the change in climate, purpose, public acceptance, health and vigor of colleges and universities in this country, and throughout the world.

Indeed, to view the scene of higher education is to be all but overwhelmed by the pressures and counter-pressures that exist in it today. There are pressures of all kinds to change the internal prac-

tices of colleges and universities with the hope of ensuring their proper response to the needs and aspirations of minority groups and of women.

SOME EXPECT colleges and universities to be active (even hyper-active) agents in solving contemporary problems - the problems of war, poverty, disease, crime - of environmental abuse and racial injustice. Others believe that the primary objective of col-leges and universities is to train men and women to fulfill specific vocational and professional needs. Still others would use colleges and universities - destroying them if necessary - to achieve their par-ticular goals for the world in which we all must live.

To these pressures, we must add the problems of internal man-agement and governance, of pub-lic acceptance, of funding, and of the changing interests of young people. The role of the federal government in higher education is changing significantly, as evi-denced by the recent passage of the Omnibus Higher Education Bill, which offers new promises as well as new perils.

Abortion: a perspective by Peter Brown

i f ^

^ ^ *

Next month the people of Michigan will be voting on a hotly debated contemporary dilemma, namely, abortion. The abortion question on the ballot is a motion to allow physicians to perform abortions in a hospital or other building approved by the Board of Health, at the request of the patient, provided pregnancy is under 20 weeks. A "yes" vote on Proposal B will be a vote supporting the above motion.

SHOULDN'T WOMEN WHO

DESIRE ABORTIONS

HAVE A BETTER ALTERNATIVE?

BEFORE DECIDING on this issue, however, one must look at it in its true perspective. Last week as I was walking around campus, I noticed some gross sensationalism posted by anti-abortion activitists. It was after looking at the dead, mangled fetuses in plastic bags that I decided that intellectual analysis and not biased emotional appeals were needed in rationally viewing the issue.

This issue involves two main arguments: the scientific and the moral. Regarding the scientific argument, the anti-abortion forces argue that a 20 week old fetus can actually survive outside the womb. They also argue that the fetus responds in very human-like ways to warmth and sensitivity while inside the expectant mother.

THE PRO-ABORTION forces, on the other hand, argue that science can actually produce babies in test tubes and that the womb is technically not needed at all. They also say that the brain is the essence of a person and at less than 20 weeks it is totally blank. Furthermore, both sides try to ad-vance their arguments by quoting "new evidence" from "leading doctors." In light of all these views, one can only be left with severely conflicting ideas and no firm conclusions.

When viewing the issue from the moral stand-point, the debate tends to get very emotional. While one side shouts murder of the unborn, the other side reciprocates by shouting about murder of another kind. This murder is the very real possibility of death for a woman who gets an abortion at the hands of a butcher. They also point out the risk of death in just having a baby. Thus, pro-abortion forces scream for the rights of the woman, while anti-abortionists scream for the rights of the un-born.

IN FURTHER appealing to the morals of people, both sides use the Bible in order to stir up one's emotions and sense of righteousness. There are also legal and social arguments which are used, but here again both views seem to be equally valid and equally opposite! The whole debate finally winds up in a draw with both sides having equally persuasive arguments and counter-arguments.

Thus, it seems that the only logical course would be to take neither side and abstain from voting on Proposal B. This, however, would be a terrible mistake for one overwhelming reason. That reason is that we should not legislate morality when the evidence is contradictory. In light of this conflicting evidence, the decision to have an abortion or not should be a matter of personal conscience and not a matter of group morality.

If a woman risks being charged with a crime by having an abortion, there should at least be hard scientific evidence and not just status quo and moral judgments to prove her guilty.

THE FINANCIAL plight of private colleges has been well pub-licized, and is widely familiar. It is in the light of all these considera-tions - all these changes and all these pressures for further change - that I address you today.

It is . . . appropriate for each of us, and specifically for us at Hope College, to consider all these is-sues and pressures and problems and then, in the light of our own history, our own traditions, and our own commitments, define our goals, chart our course and pursue these with diligence. It is in this context that I would share with you certain thoughts and observa-tions and aspirations that I have regarding Hope College.

I WOULD SUBMIT to you today that the basic characteristic of Hope College is our commit-ment to truth - its discovery, its transmission, and its application. That claim is in itself neither unique nor profound, for every institution of higher learning would subscribe to it without hesitation.

The important question is how we at Hope College, committed as we are to Christianity and to the liberal arts, perceive the truth. Indeed, in answering this ques-tion, we define our essential being. As I was reflecting on this, I was helped tremendously by a little booklet given to me by our distinguished Chancellor Emeri-tus, Dr. Wm. Vander Lugt.

THIS BOOKLET is entitled. Quid Est Veritas! and its author (Professor Albert C. Outler of Southern Methodist University) makes a very helpful distinction between two kinds of truth. One he terms "discursive t ruth;" the other is the concept of truth that is denoted in the New Testament by the Greek word "aletheia."

Discursive truth is the kind of truth that can be discussed and verified by analysis or experiment or reason or even, in certain cases, by imagination. It embraces all academic disciplines, from mathe-matics and logic to the humanities and the fine arts.

THROUGH discursive truth we can relate empirical facts to mod-els and paradigms; we can ascer-tain social concensus and come to an understanding of consistency and rationality. We come to know discursive truth through our com-prehension of the intelligible pat-terns and structures and values in the world around us.

At Hope College, as members of a scholarly community of fac-ulty and students, we are commit-ted to excellence in discursive truth. This commitment requires that we be diligent, hard-working, imaginative, and constructively critical in every facet of our aca-demic programs. Such excellence does not mean that we must be involved in every possible subject

area-emphatically it does not. IN FACT, here at Hope College

we are constrained to think through our mission and goals, and are privileged to be selective in choosing the areas to which we will be committed. But such ex-cellence does mean that once we choose to undertake an area of study or research, we will provide the resources, the facilities, and the personnel not simply to fulfill our commitments, but to fulfill them according to our self-set goals.

At Hope College, we would be a full-fledged, fully participating member of the worldwide com-munity of higher education; we can accept no alternative to the pursuit of excellence in discursive truth.

BUT WE AT Hope College are also committed to the other di-mension of truth identified by Prof. Outler. This is the concept of truth referred to in ihe New Testament more than a hundred times by the word "aletheia." It appears in such phrases as "You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free," and "Grace and truth come to us through Jesus Christ."

This truth is based upon the proposition that the ultimate reality in this vast complex in space and time in which we live is the personal, infinite God, in whom all things, in their final analysis, have their origin. Basic also to this view of truth is the creation of man in the image of God. Our abilities to reason, to communicate, to create, and to love are reflections of the very nature and character of God.

THE NEW TESTAMENT view of truth is that through a decisive act of God - namely, the Incarna-tion, and all this event encom-passes in the life and death and resurrection of Jesus Christ -- we can be restored, in a very real and significant way, to this relation-ship to God, to our fellow man and to nature.

In coming to know our Creator, we find the freedom and joy He intended us to have, see ourselves and our mission from His point of view, enjoy the gifts in nature and culture that He has provided, and experience His spirit in our lives. As Prof. Outler states, this t ruth is the "revelation of God's power to transform men's fears and guilt and impo-tence and humiliation into a sense of bed-rock security based on trust and confidence in God."

THIS IS the truth that frees us from the threat of meaningless existence, the threat that comes from relying on discursive truth alone. This is the truth that gives quality to our existence and sig-nificance to all our learning.

Throughout its history, Hope College has been committed to this t ruth with the same finality that has marked its commitment to discursive truth. A vigorous and continuing commitment to both will provide us with truly unique opportunities in a troubled world where basic questions of purpose and meaning and future destiny are once again coming to the fore.

AT THIS POINT, I would like to address a few words particular-ly to students. Almost beyond the telling, 1 have already come to enjoy the opportunity of knowing you, and I appreciate your friend-ship, your encouragement, and your dedication to excellence.

Regardless of your present spiritual commitment, I welcome you as valued companions in your search for truth. We do expect that you will master your, aca-demic program and leave Hope College with a sound grasp of discursive truth as it applies to the program you have selected. To those of you who have already made the full commitment im-plied by New Testament truth, I say, join with us in making this commitment an integral part of our lives and our academic stu-dies.

TO THOSE of you who do not share this commitment , let me say that unless and until you are honestly persuaded to share it, your right to refrain will be pro-tected. But do be an honest seeker of t ruth , and respond readily with mind and heart as you are able.

Going abroad? Take heed by Mark Cook

Studying abroad is probably one of the most worthwhile ex-periences the student in search of a liberal education can have. But while the virtues of such an enter-prise have often been extolled, what makes the experience com-plete is the adversity one meets -and for the American student there is no lack of this commodity to enhance his intercultural educa-tion.

THE AMERICAN student, a-side from the usual problems fac-ing the average monolingual trav-

giving money and/or arms and to which she is not. This is necessary in order to gauge the general feeling toward Americans in a given country at a given time.

The first situation mentioned above results in outward friendli-ness and secret distrust, the latter in outright abuse. But for those who feel they cannot do justice to Henry Kissinger's foreign policy, Canada is a pleasant country to hail from.

THE NEXT PROBLEM is that of the U.S. mass media, which is most dangerous in the form of its exported movies and TV. This is

eler, must deal with the conse-quences of three major United States institutions: the govern-ment, the mass media and the American Tourist.

At face value it would seem that the government of the United States would be a formidable problem, but this is not the case. In fact, a small amount of sage advice should equip the student for almost any occasion.

THE CRUCIAL thing to know is to which countries the U.S. is

an especially complex problem in that both the student and the foreigner he is attempting to en-counter have been subjected to its influence.

After telling one Arab student that I had been raised in a small Eastern town, he remarked that I must have had a perilous child-hood. When I questioned him as to that statement he cited the roving motorcycle gangs that of-ten ravaged small towns. (Two points for American International Pictures.)

BUT, AS I SAID, it works both ways. Try watching "Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy," with a room full of real Egyptians. For exercises in this area, be prepared to tell a foreign student when you had your "Summer of '42," and work up a defense for the white man in "Little Big Man."

Finally we come to the most difficult problem of all, the Amer-ican tourist. This species is easily recognizable in most major cities of the world. (In the Holy Land they can also be observed in little towns of Bethlehem.)

THIS CURIOUS mammal usu-ally travels in twos, male and female. The male is characterized by a multicolored breast tunic and short breeches.

Upon his head is a strange sort of cloth with a large protruding feather, often bearing such slogans as "New York World's Fair." About the neck he has two or three rather complex guns which he shoots at random without ap-parent effect.

THE FEMALE is the more vocal of the pair, often reading aloud from small books as they pass old buildings. Often she can be observed in small shops at-tempting to change her colorings to match the native species.

These rather rude creatures have no interest in the natives of a country and often travel in large groups, sticking together so as to avoid contact with them.

WHEN CONTACT IS establish-ed, these creatures demand con-formity to their habits and lan-guage as a prerequisite. Wherever they go, they leave a trail of economic prosperity and cultural devastation. It is advised that students stay clear of them. They are especially dangerous in large numbers.

It is my hope that these hum-ble observations will have warmed the memories of those who have gone abroad, and sharpened the wits of those about to.

Modeling their native clothing, from left to right, are Jung Min Oh (Korea), Abayomi Odubela (Nigeria), and Christa Dworak (Austria). They will be among the 25 students participating in this weekend's United Nations display. Sponsored by the International Relations Club, the display will be held in Snow Auditorium from 3:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. today and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. tomorrow.

Due to recent confusion about campus parking regulations, Head of Public Safety Glenn Bareman has reminded students that all cars and motorcycles using college fac-ilities must be registered.

Bareman said, "This is to elim-inate people who shouldn't be parking on campus and to make room for those who park in spec-ified lots."

His department is attempting to collect tickets as soon as pos-sible, Bareman said, unlike last year when fines were added to a student's bill. Disregarding tickets will result in one or all of the following: the car will be im-

pounded, the violater will be re-ferred to the Dean of Students' office, and/or brought before the Judicial Board.

Bareman said the violators will be notified when they have ac-cumulated approximately five tickets. If there is no response, the car will be impounded until all tickets are paid.

Motor vehicles should be regis-tered at the o f f i ce -o f Public Safety in the basement of the Nykerk Hall of Music.

Bareman also reminded stud-ents to lock their rooms and lock bicycles to racks in order to pre-vent thefts.

Sees 'challenge9

Smith joins theater dept. The theater department has a

new member this year, Richard Smith, whose fields of specializa-tion include costumes, scenery, and properties. His job is basically a new one within the department, which is part of the reason he decided to come to Hope.

THIS, ALONG with the new theater plant here, provides him with a challenge. Smith said, be-cause the facilities are present, and must be utilized to their fullest potential. Smith was also attracted by the theater depart-ment staff.

"Because they are young, they are more open and willing to try new things," he said. He fenjoys the advantages of a small school.

because they allow him to get to know people better, as they work closely with them.

"IN CONTRAST," he said, "theater departments at large uni-versities are operated more like professional theaters, and are much more business oriented."

Smith is originally from Mis-souri, and spent four years at a school there. He then spent a year at the University of Utah, and from there went to the University of Minnesota, where he received a B.F.A. in theater design.

LAST YEAR he worked for the Tyrone Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, a prominent, theater company in the United States. He said that "It was quite an exper-

p.m. next Wednesday, with classes reconvening Oct. 23, at 8 a.m. Monday and Tuesday classes will follow the normal schedule.

Wednesday, however, classes will follow the complete normal schedule for Friday, through the completion of eighth hour.

Dean for Academic Affairs, Morrette Rider has urged faculty members not to cancel classes since this might place undue pres-sure upon other professors to can-cel classes, resulting in unfair treatment to both faculty and students.

Rider acknowledged that this is an obvious potential problem of short vacations, and has asked for full cooperation from the college community in adhering to the Wednesday schedule through eighth hour.

Ritsema also recently appeared at the University of Michigan as a clinician at the annual Music Ed-ucation Conference, and attended the board of directors meeting of the National School Orchestra As-sociation in Bowling Green, Ky. At that meeting the board decided to hold the annual N.S.P.A. sum-mer conference on Hope's campus next August.

This semester Smith is teaching both Production I and Introduc-tion to Theatre. He has also de-signed 40 costumes for The Beg-gar's Opera, the theater depart-ment's upcoming production, in which both the cast and orchestra will be costumed.

SMITH FEELS one of the functions of his job is to build a stock of costumes at Hope. For this reason, none of the costumes will be rented.

Next semester, Smith will teach Production II, and a seminar in period costume construction and design. The course will cover the Renaissance until the turn of the 20th century, and will include practical experience in making costumes.

Congressman Guy VanderJagt, a Hope alumnus, will deliver the sermon Sunday in Dimnent Memorial Chapel. The subject of his address will be "The Rock of Freedom."

Political essays criticized 1 wish to protest the poor

quality of the political analyses which have been appearing in the anchor this fall. Apparently, the only difference between campus commentary and that which ap-pears on the street is that the intelligentsia (effete snobs?) jus-tify their prejudice with well thought out inanities.

A cursory inspection of these articles show two sorts of justifi-cation for whatever opinion is being expressed. First, the author speaks from a position of author-ity or quotes an important sound-ing person. This dogmatic ap-proach is especially effective when one is a professor. Second, a historical event is taken out of context and inserted into the anal-ysis. This approach is especially effective with "half-truth by en-

counter" proponents. Jane Dickie's contrast of Dick

and George is fairly typical of most of the political essays which have appeared so far. Ms. Dickie is able to combine the dogmatic and half-truth approaches so effective-ly that the entire essay becomes vapid.

If one is not duly impressed by the authority represented by Ms. Dickie's education, she quotes James Barber to support her opin-ion. This double authority allows her to officially classify Nixon as "Active-Negative." The derivation of "Active-Negative" may be in-nocuous, but one can be sure that Barber uses the epithet to impute negative connotations to the name Nixon. This panderous use of psychological jargon is chicanery of the worst sort.

There is no need to show how the initial use of jargon shapes the nature of the half truths put forth in the entire essay; it is obvious. My only question is why does Ms. Dickie so banally attack Julie Nix-on, whose last name now happens to be Eisenhower. This assault is antithetical to the pseudo-intellec-tual approach of the rest of the essay.

Ms. Dickie's essay is neither better nor worse than any of the other political analyses which have appeared in the anchor. I only mention her essay because it is so flagrantly pedantic. If the choice between Nixon and McGovern is as grim as the anchor columns, essays and letters indi-cate, 1 say, vote for Dr. Spock.

Dutchmen open MIAA warfare; defeat Albion by Dick Bloemendaal

The Hope College Flying Dutch-men opened MIAA football warfare Saturday, taking home from Albion an impressive 35-29 victory in a game whose score was not entirely indicative of the gist of play.

PLAYING BEFORE the Brit-ons' homecoming crowd of 2,334 loyal fans, Coach Ray Smith's Blue and Orange churned out 411 yards total offense en route to clambering to their third victory in four starts.

Junior tailback Bob Lamer stole the offensive show by scor-ing three touchdowns while amas-sing 190 yards in a grueling 40

sports high

carries while sophomore Bob Carl-son scored one touchdown and threw a pass for another.

LAMER HAS now gained 557 yards in four games while racking up a nifty five yard average and scoring seven touchdowns, four more than his entire 1971 total. His teammate Carlson garnered 56 yards rushing, most of that on a 53 yard run off a broken play, and ended with four of seven passes for 31 yards.

Albion, last year's cellar-dwellers, drew first blood, as the Britons' fullback Bill Parker clim-axed an 87 yard drive by scoring on a 23 yard touchdown run. From that point in the game, however, Hope took command of the situation.

HOPE IMMEDIATELY march-ed down to the Albion 11, but failed to capitalize. Two plays later, however, freshman Jim Ritcheske stepped in front of a John Salvadore pass to put the Dutchmen on the enemy's 20 yard line.

Tailback Lamer plunged over from the Briton 16; freshman Darryl Brown kicked the first of five straight extra point conver-sions, and the contest was tied, 7-7.

CO-CAPTAIN Doug Smith snared a second Salvadore aerial on Albion's next series and sus-tained the upcoming Hope drive by faking a punt and skirting the left end for an apparent 42 yard touchdown jaunt.

Coach emeritus by Merlin Whiteman

qV-'G. '/y

A1 Vanderbush, a man presently retired in name only, coached Hope football teams for nine years and achieved the highest winning percentage (.605) of any coach in the Dutchmen's 67 years of football.

WHILE AT HOPE, Vanderbush teams were 46-28-2, including a 29-16-2 record in MIAA play. During his tenure, the Dutch won two league championships (1951 and 1953), and were second on two other occasions. Vanderbush contributed to the development of 24 different players who made all-conference at least once in their career.

Last week, after a brisk walk from Van Raalte to the Kletz, this writer talked with Vanderbush about his coaching career.

VANDERBUSH graduated from Hope in 1929, after earning letters in football, basketball and track, although he modestly admitted he "was not very good." His first job after leaving Hope was in the Upper Peninsula town of Bessemer.

From Bessemer, he moved to Grandville, where he had "some good teams and some fine players, although none went to college, an idea that was mostly unheard of in the depression." From there, he went to Davis Tech of Grand Rapids for two years.

AFTER DAVIS came four of his most pro-ductive years. During those years, he coached Grand Rapids South High School to two city champion-ships. More importantly, he came into contact with an official named Milton Hinga.

Following two and a half years in the Navy, Vanderbush was approached by Hope Athletic Director Hinga to coach the Flying Dutchmen. Thus began a successful career that spanned the years 1946-1954.

VANDERBUSH believes "Nic Yonker was one of the finest players Hope ever had. He never really had good backs to go with him, however." Quarter-back Yonker is the only Hope player ever to be all-conference four years in a row; he was MIAA most valuable in 1949.

"Ron Schipper, now coach at Central of Iowa, was another outstanding quarterback, although he wasn't the great athlete Yonker was. He was good, but wasn't blessed with speed; he made himself into a good passer," Vanderbush said.

HE MENTIONED two other backs as outstand-ing at Hope. These were John Adams and Frank Tolarico, who played on the 1953 squad. "They were unusually good, but the rest of the team was fairly mediocre, as was the rest of the league. It was not the best team 1 coached." He declined to say which was his best team.

Vanderbush mentioned only a couple of line-men: "There were so many fine linemen, I would do an injustice to somebody if I started to name people. However, I will mention two because they never tooted their own horn.

"CLAIRE DEMULL, now an assistant at West Ottawa, was the finest end I coached, offensively and defensively. Another would be Rip Collins, an outstanding coach who is now at Grand Valley. He was rough and tough, and one of the best defensive tackles we had.

"One other guy I might mention is Don Piersma, the Holland High basketball coach. He didn't like football much, but loved baseball and basketball. However, he was a great defensive back. He was a good athlete, with good speed and competitive drive."

VANDERBUSH feels a major change since he coached involves coaching staffs. "While at Hope, we had an assistant and a head coach. This, plus carrying a full academic teaching load (government and history), made coaching a sideline. Probably other coaches spent more time at coaching, but sports are extracurricular here as they should be."

Another big difference is the type of offenses now being run. "Nobody split ends back then. We did more pitchouts then, and also ran a belly series, which is not as prevalent today," he commented. "We used the fullback trap quite of ten, also."

"DEFENSE hasn't changed as much as the offense has since I left coaching. We generally lined up in a 6-3-2 or a 5-4-2. There are some new terms: cornerback, for instance, which was just coming in as 1 left.

"I got out of coaching because I couldn't sleep during the football season, I worried so much about it. It is a dangerous business when you get that tense. While I was at it I did enjoy it, but I never regretted quitting coaching," Vanderbush stated.

AFTER QUITTING the head coaching job, he was an assistant coach under Russ DeVette for two years. Vanderbush also coached track and cross country at one time or another while at Hope. In 1952 and 1953, he won the MIAA track champion-ships.

"We won the championship after DeVette had laid the groundwork before leaving for the Marines in 1951. I was just the director and had nothing to do with it," he modestly asserted.

Vanderbush was also athletic director a couple of years before present AD Gordon Brewer took over those activities. He said he didn't enjoy administra-tion, however. "Classroom teaching has given me the most satisfaction."

"We're always happy with a win," said Coach Ray Smith about last week's game against Albion. "But there were some mental lapses at times, as well as some poor tackling. The offensive line was outstanding, especially Semeyn and Winne."

TOMORROW, THE DUTCH tackle the Olivet Comets in a homecoming encounter. "Olivet is a frightening ball club. Their speed, a year's experi-ence, and confidence will make them tough to beat. They are a big play ball club, and work to set up the big play," Smith indicated.

They have a good quarterback in Bill Ziem who completed 11 of 20 against Kazoo last week. Their two main running backs are Jim Kelley and Bill Colvin. "The most frightening player for us is Bob Christman, who had his best game against us last year. Last Saturday, however. Kazoo Coach Ed Baker wondered whether he had ever played or not ."

"SATURDAY WILL have to be our greatest defensive effort of the season. We haven't played our best game yet; we haven't put the offense and defense all together in one game. Last year, Olivet was our worst year all-around - emotionally, physically, etc. We'll be up for the game Saturday."

The revenge element and fact that it is a homecoming game will be enough to prepare the Dutch emotionally; hopefully they will not peak before Saturday. Hope should increase its record Saturday to 4-1, with a one touchdown victory over the Comets.

A clipping penalty was in ef-fect, however, and the Dutch were forced to mount a sustained at-tack. Lamer scored his second touchdown of the afternoon seven plays later and the Dutchmen were on top, 14-7-.

ALBION continued to make mistakes, as freshman Dave Yeiter fell on his third fumble recovery of the season from his middle guard position, enabling Hope to take possession on the Briton 36. Lamer continued his torrid scor-ing pace as he capped off the drive with a nine yard touchdown run.

Albion retaliated with a score by halfback Sowles on his 43 yard long gainer to pull the score to 21-14, as the extra point was good.

HOPE PUT THE game away for all practical purposes in the third quarter. With Tim Van Heest subbing for Carlson, the freshman quarterback hit end Ted Albrecht with • a 22 yard pass play that advanced the pigskin up to Hope's own 47.

With Carlson at the controls again, the sophomore signal-caller raced 53 yards when a pitchout play failed to materialize.

PLAYING FOR their home-coming crowd, though, the Albion squad refused to fold. The Britons marched 67 yards in 11 plays before junior quarterback Salvad-ore clicked on an eight yard pass to end Kevin Cooley, and the score after the PAT read Hope -28, A lb ion -21 .

Another Albion miscue led to a Dutch touchdown in the fourth quarter when Doug Smith pounced on a Briton fumble at midfield. With 7:51 to play in the game, Carlson hit fullback Ed Sanders with a two yard scoring pass.

BRITON quarterback Salva-dore marched his offense 95 yards in the waning minutes. Parker scored from the two with 30 seconds to go.

An onside kickoff attempt fail-ed when Hope's Mike Toscano fell on the ball.

Hope plays Olivet tomorrow at 2:15 p.m. at Riverview Park, in the second of three consecutive homecoming games. Incidentally, Hope has not lost its own home-coming game since 1962.

Hope's two-game split moves soccer record to 4-2

Hope split two games in soccer last week, losing to a tough Mich-igan State squad on Wednesday and beating Aurora on Saturday. The split moved their record to 4-2.

MICHIGAN STATE beat Hope on a second half goal kicked into the nets by Jan Nonoher, making the final score 2-1. This came with 31 minutes left in the second half. Hope's only goal of the contest was scored by freshman Glenn Swier in the first half.

The Dutch ended up taking 12 shots on goal, while the green and white of Lansing took 16. Unfor-tunately for Michigan State, they lost one of their co-captains. Hope goalie Bob Luidens went for a ball along with the captain, and the captain's leg came out second best.

SATURDAY, Hope beat a strong Aurora team 3-2 before the

home town fans, using "a total team" effort , according to Coach Gene Brown. The winning goal was scored unassisted by Mark Van Voorst, just one minute after Aurora's Bill Suhayda had knot-ted the score up at two apiece.

Aurora scored first by virtue of a penalty kick in front of the Hope goal. Larry Newcomb did the damage that time. Hope tied it up with 14:43 expired in the half on a Jim Vannice score. The freshman was assisted by Van Voorst, who gave the Dutch the half-time lead when he took a Dave Phillips pass into the cords.

OVER FOUR-FIFTHS of the second half elapsed before either team scored. Then, Suhayda scor-ed after the ball had been batted around in front of the Hope goal mouth. One minute later Van Voorst scored his tenth goal of the season.
