Hallelujah by Yugoslav play- wright Djordje Lebovich will be performed Oct. 2 C ), 30 and 31 and Nov. 4, 5, 6 and 7 in the Little Theatre. A special transla- tion was prepared for the Hope production by Nicola Koljevich, who is on campus as a visiting consultant to the Great Lakes Colleges Association in East European studies. ACCORDING TO John Tammi, instructor of theatre and director of the production, the play deals with the attempts of a group of six ex-concentration camp prisoners immediately after World War II to face the world outside. Their first attempt to live and act as free men is to bury a comrade who died. In the prison camp they were not allowed to bury fellow prisoners, and after their release from the camp and subsequent hospitalization they Homecoming focuses on Wichers dedication Homecoming 1970 will begin Thursday evening with the crown- ing of the queen, but the real highlight is not until Sunday, when the newly-completed Wichers Hall of Music, an addition to the present Nykerk Building, will be dedicated. THE WOMEN'S CHOIR of 40 voices will open the dedication service Sunday at 3 p.m. with a short concert featuring alumnae soloists. The choir is under the direction of Dr. Anthony Kooi- ker, professor of music, and will be accompanied by the faculty string quartet. Following the concert will be a brief dedication service with Dr. William VanderLugt, chancellor of the college, presiding. A litany of dedication will be held at the new Wichers Hall, and guided tours and refreshments will complete the celebration. THE EVENT MARKS the first time that the music department is completely under one roof. For- merly, several campus buildings, including a cottage and Graves Hall, housed portions of the department. The $375,000 building was named in honor of Dr. William Wichers, a former Hope College president and author of the histor- ical book A Century of Hope. A $100,000 pledge from the Second Reformed Church, combined with a $131,000 federal grant and $33,000 in other special gifts, will (continued on page 3, column I) m 4* find that regulations impede the burial. TAMMI DESCRIBED the play as "representative of contempor- ary Yugoslavian theatre, particu- larly that part that is still preoc- cupied with the suffering and hos- tilities of the Yogoslav people during the war." He found the play while studying on a grant this summer in Yugoslavia. Hallelujah was awarded a prize when it was produced at the theatre festival in Novi Sad in 1964. Koljevich, a philosophy fac- ulty member at a Yugoslavian university, translated it as part of his work here this year in setting up a GLCA Balkan Studies pro- gram. The opening weekend perform- ances of Hallelujah will coincide with a GLCA Yugoslav Seminar held on campus. The play is also being produced as part of the third annual American College Theatre Festival. Tickets for the play are $2 for general admission and $1.50 for students and are available begin- ning tomorrow in Van Raalte lobby or by calling the theatre office. Curtain time for all per- formances is 8:15 p.m. Board will decide on student seats A BROTHER ANTONINUS—Poet William Everson, a Dominican monk until late 1969, will be making a three-day visit Oct. 28-30, highlighted by a public reading of his writings Oct. 30 at 8:15 p.m. in Dimnent Memorial Chapel.

The Board of Trustees will meet Thursday and Friday, and the first item on the agenda is the question of students sitting in on the meeting. Student Congress President Marshall Anstandig has submitted to the trustees the names of six students to be seated on five standing committees of the board. The trustees will approve or dis- prove the appointment of the students in their first session Thursday. Appointed by Anstandig were Allan Smith and Keith Lamers to the Academic Affairs and Student Life Committee, Barb DeHaan to the Church Relations Committee, John Boonstra to the Spiritual Life Committee, Jane Leismer to Planning and Development and Bob Scott to Business and Fi- nance. If approved, the students would act as liaisons between the board and the student body. They would not be voting members. Distinguished poet and mystic William Everson, until last year known as Brother Antoninus, will participate in various classes and give a public reading of his poetry during a three-day visit to the Hope campus, Oct. 28-30. . EVERSON, WHO IS known for his intensely dramatic stage presence, will read extensive excerpts from his poetry Oct. 30 at 8:15 p.m. in Dimnent Chapel. The author of several well- received books of poetry, Everson was born in Sacramento, Cal. in 1912. He attended Fresno State College, but dropped out after his exposure to the verse of Robinson Jeffers stimulated him to begin writing his own poetry. The publi- cation of three volumes of poetry during the ^Os established his literary reputation. DURING WORLD WAR II, Everson was drafted as a conscien- tious objector, and he served in the labor camps of the Oregon coast for three-and-a-half years. After the war, he published The Residual Years, a collection of all his earlier verse. The book won him the coveted literary award, a Guggenheim Fellowship. Through the influence of a Catholic woman who was strug- gling to regain her lost faith, Everson was converted to Cath- olicism in 1949. He entered the Dominican Order as a lay brother in 1951, received the name Brother Antoninus, and for seven years lived a life of monastic withdrawal. IN 1957, ANTONINUS left the monastery and began reading his poetry on campuses across the nation. His performances quickly gained a reputation for great drama and emotional impact. Since then Antoninus has con- tinued his speaking tours and has published three books of religious verse which have made him famous as an exponent of erotic mysticism: The Crooked Lines of God in 1959, The Hazards of Holiness in 1962, and The Rose of Solitude in 1967. Antoninus left the monastic life in Decem- ber, 1969, in order to marry Susanna Rickson. Again known by his original name, William Everson, he lives with his wife in Stinson Beach, Cal.

Back to normalcy for the bandwagon radicals Editor 's Note: This week ' s a n c h o r essay is wr i t ten by senior philo-sophy major Drew Hinderer . He raises the ques t ion , "Is t he r e an effect ive way t o deal with s tuden t f rus t ra t ion and a l iena t ion?"

by Drew Hinderer

Out here in the midwest , the year of the ' Great Morator iums was bo th excit ing and encouraging for those of us with liberal shades of mind, despi te its moral hor rors (or , f rom a conf ron ta t ion-pol i t i cs point of view, because of t h e m ) .

MAINLY, ONE COULD tell by leafing through the news maga-zines that there was a turn to a greater social awareness, there was a growth of radicalism. But with September came a disappoint-ment , a feeling that it doesn ' t mat ter what is being said by the SDS because the style of life, the kind of living that we're doing, hasn't changed.

What was said last year was all too much a ma t t e r of cos tuming ourselves and shout ing f rom the roof tops , screaming at the t op of our vocal range and the limits of our moral out rage , then ret ir ing quiet ly to wash up, c o m b our hair and re turn to class.

NOT T H A T IT S a ma t t e r of selling out fo r apa thy ; it's ra ther that we've dr i f ted back in to a certain way of living that doesn ' t depend on actually solving moral and political p roblems, but upon making our little cry of out rage and going on with a life grown c o m f o r t a b l e with b ru ta l i ty , cruelty and violence.

There are three observat ions to be made here. First , the ineffec tu-ality of our pro tes ts has b e c o m e painful to us only because we still want to maintain the myth of a' t ime when individual protest and political ac t ion seemed related.

Second, when our political ges-tures were t r ans fo rmed in to exis-tential gestures, our individual sense of loneliness and practical impotence was increased. This sense, in turn, reinforced a third idea, that political and moral problems can be most effectively dealt with through self-examina-tion and personal awareness.

THE WHOLE STUDENT pro-test exper ience was as though we-all went off t o some sensitivity group in a c o m m u n e where every-body dressed up in identical out-fits and somebody kept get t ing up and reminding us that we were an army.

What we did was iden t i fy our-selves in one way or ano the r with Jerry R u b i n . o r Abbie H o f f m a n or Bobby Scale or Angela Davis and (like some young American Legion) to revel in recollections of our first skirmishes: the Battle of Chicago where villainous squads of ignorants with gas and clubs descended upon us, flailing and slashing and maiming; the Kent State massacre where trained ex te rmina to r s opened fire, ripped away our flesh and left our bodies in their wake .

BUT OUR EXPERIENCE itself was qui te d i f fe ren t . Ours was the business of sitting a round discus-sing how many leaflets we could put out t o m o r r o w morning , plan-ning various ways of disguising ourselves so the police couldn ' t track us d o w n , de te rmin ing ways to outrage the c i t izenry 's moral sensibilities, only to find that our leaflets were useful for testing out how to spell " a l i ena t i on" weeks later, tha t the police were too busy handing out t ra f f ic ci ta t ions to not ice us, and that the citi-zenry didn ' t have outrageable moral sensibilities. We became masters at taking events that weren' t personal exper iences and pre tending they were.

Those of us who noticed the d i f ference between our felt exper-ience and our actual exper ience (as most of us did sooner or la ter) began to feel increasingly alien-ated and in a way, deprived. We worked at it, a f fec t ing all the manner isms and stances of the people we identif ied with who we thought really were alienated f rom society.

BUT IT WAS still ra ther hard to make our day-to-day living actually c o n f o r m to our desire for despair and worry and dissatisfac-tion with America. In spite of our new peace emblems , black arm bands and clenched fists, c loth-coated mat rons con t inued to stalk by us wi thout looking. We even suffered the u l t imate indigni ty; we went to the movies and saw ourselves commercial ized with p e r f e c t ^ a c c u r a c y {Getting Straight: Jhe Younger Generation Lays It on the Line) . But what we failed to apprec ia te was the full power of the vast American mechanism, inevitably, and more or less si lently, assimilating pro-test into its monol i th ic amiabi l i ty .

What we did seemed enough at the t ime . We marched and felt bet ter . We heard the c a c o p h o n y of radical rhetor ic and felt be t te r . We sang the songs left over f rom the Black Revolut ion (previously assimilated) and felt bet ter . We went home and talked to the folks, who truly didn ' t know what we were talking abou t , who thought that what we were saying was an indulgence and a f r a u d , that we really d idn ' t feel that way, and that glorious sense of alienation welled up inside us again. We felt be t te r .

AND OUR GOOD feelings were shared. On a gut level. In our sensitivity groups we relived having our feet cooked by the Inquisi t ion. "Were you in Chi-cago?" " Y o u r best f r iend was at Kent S t a t e?" Those were the at tr i-butes that sanct i f ied, if you could get someone to believe them.

In the absence of actual exper-i e n c e , like thought-depr ived prisoners of war, our al ienation-feelings in the face of apa thy assumed their own sort of fulfill-

ing sat isfact ion. The s tuden t exper ience was a huge, more or less unrecognized mechanism not only for assimilating protes t , but for hiding everybody f r o m the realities of exper ience by means of vicarious part ic ipat ion in the activities of distant heroes.

WE QUICKLY L E A R N E D the value of jargon: actual exper ience , no ma t t e r how brutal , became soothing when talked abou t in cliches. They provided an immun-ity against tha t cont inual sense of violence and bruta l i ty that seeped into even the most comfor t ab le of our lives. Who of us had person-ally exper ienced a politically mot-ivated dea th , but who was not outraged by terms like "Ken t State Massacre" or " b o d y c o u n t " ?

Who of us had been beaten by a rioting pol iceman, but who has not ridiculed the pigs?

We leaned t o live our alienation as a sense of fu l f i l lment , adjust ing to the concre te moral evils and actual violence within society by our adept use of the appropr ia te cliche. At wors t , we suf fe red some small internal fears that meant little and that could be so com-pletely subl imated with sensitivity group behavior and "be ing real" that we could come o u t , the world unchanged , totally at peace with our consciences.

Dr. F. Sheldon Wet tack, as-sociate professor of chemistry at Mope College, has been awarded a S25,000 teacher-scholar grant by the Camille and Henry Drey fus Founda t ion of New York.

WETTACK, 31, IS one of 14 American facul ty members in the fields of chemis t ry , bio-chemistry , chemical engineering and related sciences selected under the new Dreyfus F o u n d a t i o n program.

The Teacher-Scholar Xirant is to be used at Wet tack ' s discretion in imaginative ways that will con-tr ibute to his personal develop-ment as a teacher and as a scholar. In addi t ion , the Founda t ion awarded a S3,000 grant to Hope College for use at the college's discret ion.

THE CAMILLE AND Henry Dreyfus F o u n d a t i o n , which was established in 1946, has directed major a t t en t ion to the advance-ment of chemist ry , chemical engineering and related sciences as a means of improving h u m a n re-lations and c i rcumstances in the world.

During 1969, a t . t h e request of the president and the board of

directors of the Founda t i on , an advisory c o m m i t t e e made a search for a new area where the resources of the F o u n d a t i o n could be best applied. This resulted in the estab-lishment of the Camille and Henry Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Grant Program.

WETTACK PLANS to use the funds to provide s t ipends for stu-dent associates and to purchase scientific equ ipment for his re-search e f f o r t s in the field of pho tochemis t ry . He also expects to use some of the money to suppor t new concep t s in chemis-try teaching, part icularly with the non-science ma jo r s at the college.

Part of the grant will be used to expand Wet tack 's research in the s tudy of the interact ions that occur be tween ultraviolet light and organic molecules.

WETTACK HAS received four awards f r o m three d i f fe ren t sources dur ing his less than four years at Hope - two f r o m the Pet ro leum Research Fund of the Americn Chemical Society and one each f rom the National Science F o u n d a t i o n and the Re-search Corp. , a private founda-tion.

His work is cur ren t ly assisted by five Hope s tudents , junior Gordon Renkes , senior Jim Koert , senior Mark Rockley, jun io r Ken Janda and senior Gary Van Kem-pen.

A Kansas native, Wettack re-ceived undergradua te and masters degrees f r o m San Jose Sta te Uni-versity. He taught high school chemistry in San Jose, Calif., three years before seeking his doc to ra te at the University of Texas.

" T h e average s tudent in the Nether lands is generally less polit-ically aware than his American coun te rpar t however political inf luence is increasing," Dutch Ambassador Baron Rijnhard Bern-hard van Lynden said in a meet ing Friday a f t e rnoon with Hope stu-dents and faculty.

HE COMPARED the Dutch and American s tudents : " T h e stu-dents in the Nether lands is inter-ested mainly in the affairs of the University itself. This is due to a dear th of internat ional issues, such as Viet Nam, which occupy the American s tuden t ' s t ime . "

The ambassador said the Dutch universities ' lack of a c ampus meant there was less organization of s tudents . S tudent organiza-tions, van Lynden s ta ted , are mainly local ra ther than nat ional in or ienta t ion and tend to be fo rmed of p ro tes t an t . Catholic, or socialist groups.

INTERNAL AFFAIRS of the university such as s tudent partici-pat ion in the nomina t ion of facul-ty members receive most of the s tuden t ' s a t t en t ion a l though " a general lack of issues is a major p r o b l e m , " said J. Schaap, the counselor for press and cul tural affairs at the Nether lands Em-bassy who is traveling with the ambassador .

The ambassador noted that stu-dent part ic ipat ion in politics in Holland is mainly through estab-lished political parties, with all parties in the Nether lands having special s tudent wings. T h e ma jo r political party with which Dutch s tuden t s are associated is the Social Democrat ic Party.

SCHAAP A D D E D that the major goal of s tuden t s in that as well as all other part ies is a greater inf luence in the fo rmat ion of par ty programs. He also no ted that interest and inf luence among Dutch s tudents seem to be increasing.

The topic of permissiveness in the Nether lands also came into the discussion. Holland is the most densely popula ted coun t ry in the world today and with so many people in such a small area, "it is not possible to have very many restr ic t ions," van Lynden said.

"THERE HAS ALWAYS been a great deal of permissiveness in Holland, but presently there are signs of reaction to this permis-siveness," the ambassador said. Much of the reaction resulted f rom recent violence in Amster-dam which was in reality caused not by " inoffensive h ippies" but rather by "underwor ld hooli-gans," he told the gathering.

People f rom the United States were surprised to hear of large numbers of hippies sleeping in one of Amste rdam's central squares but the ambassador humorous ly noted that " some American boys and girls also took part in the f u n . "

Ambassador van Lynden ' s visit to Holland is part of a Midwestern

Study shows discussion polarizes racist feelings

Hope student charged

with drug possession Six Hope College s tuden t s were

arraigned in District Cour t Tues-day morn ing on charges of dis-orderly loitering.

A seventh, f reshman D o u g Rhinard, 18, was formally charged with illegal possession of mari-juana.

All of the s tuden t s charged with loitering, a misdemeanor , pleaded guilty. They will re turn to District Court on Oct . 29 for sentencing. Rhinard d e m a n d e d a prel iminary hearing to de termine whe ther the charges against him are suff icient to warrant a trial in

Ot tawa Circuit Cour t . T h e hearing is scheduled for Nov. 17.

All seven s tuden t s were ar-rested last Fr iday night behind Lincoln Elementary School on Columbia Avenue.

The official charge against the six s tudents read, " (each s t u d e n t ) was a disorderly person in that he did knowingly loiter in or about a place where an illegal occupa t ion or business was being c o n d u c t e d , to wit, illegal use of mar i juana" at Lincoln School. However, no charges connec ted with the actual use of mari juana were made .

Informal discussion on con-troversial issues leads to the polar-ization of at t i tudes, according to a social psychological exper iment conduc ted by the psychology de-pa r tmen t .

THE EXPERIMENT involving racial a t t i tudes was conduc t ed by associate professor of psychology Dr. David G. Myers and senior psychology major George D. Bis-hop.

Myers concluded in his report of the exper iment in the August issue of Science magazine that an educat ional program aimed at changing the racial a t t i tudes should avoid " f r ee discussion until desired a t t i tudes are more domi-n a n t . "

SENIORS AT THREE Western Michigan high schools were divided into three equal groups - h i g h , medium and low prejudice g r o u p s - o n the basis of scores achieved on the Mult i factor Racial At t i tude Inventory. Discussion groups of four to seven members , homogeneously composed accord-ing to prejudice level, part icipated in two-minute discussions. Test groups discussed controversial i tems on a second racial-att i tude quest ionnaire , which they com-pleted after the discussions. Con-trol groups discussed irrelevant topics and were also retcsted.

Myers observed that gulf be-tween high and low prejudice groups widened fu r the r a f te r dis-

cussion of controversial racial issues, while those in the cont ro l groups, which discussed irrelevant topics, exhibi ted little change, al-though some of the more ex t r eme individuals mellowed somewhat .

IN THE TEST GROUPS, the high-prejudice groups showed a

considerable increase in prejudice af te r discussing the issues they were to evaluate, and the low-prejudice groups showed a lesser tendancy toward less prejudice.

The Times of London com-mented , "Al though the shif t in views (of the test groups) was only slight, the indicat ions were that the movement nevertheless was real and could not be attri-buted to chance happenings . "

MYERS SAID THAT previous similar research in to the e f fec t of discussion on individuals' inclina-t ions to take or avoid r i sks -wh ich also resulted in widening the gap between the risk takers and the more c a u t i o u s - l e d him to see if the polarization would also apply to a t t i tudes on controversial issues.

Myers hopes that his experi-ment " con t r ibu t ed a bit of knowl-edge of how a t t i tudes become polar ized ." He and eight s t uden t s are cont inuing to deal with the e f fec ts of group discussion in a psychology depar tment seminar during the cur ren t semester at Hope.

Homecoming: dull and dead Homecoming this year should

prove to be as exciting as a bus tr ip to Fennville. Activities such as the open houses in the residence halls and the Coffee Grounds are sure to attract Hope's most distinguished alumni. We can hardly wait to see who's going to be queen, and we^re anxious to go to the Kletz on Satur-day since it wil l be open especially for the gala weekend.

Perhaps the only saving grace f o r , the weekend is the dedication Sun-day of the newly-completed Wichers Hall of Music. A concert and dedica-

anchor editorials m • •

t ion service wil l be the pinch that tells us we were not in fact dreaming - the building really is finished, and its attractive facilities should help take the edge off an over-crowded music department.

But except for that one important event (and the traditional, good-humored Kletz Concert Friday night). Homecoming 1970 promises to be a complete bore. Hope College wil l try to attract its alumni using the same dull program that hundreds of small colleges all over the country use each year. Only here we've done away with the parade and dorm decorations. That move was made last year, and it was a good one. This year the queen-crowning should have been dropped, too. But eliminating the traditional events doesn't mean

that Student Congress does not have the responsibility to fi l l the vacuum with new, innovative and stimulating activities. Instead it has chosen to make Homecoming 1970 little more than an average weekend, with some busy work included.

Now, Congress had its oppor-tunity several weeks ago when the committee that was responsible for planning Homecoming brainstormed with some other campus groups and came up wi th a truly unique, ex-citing idea: Homecoming falls at the same time as the 25th anniversary of the United Nations. The committee had already talked to the Interna-tional Relations Club, which not only welcomed the idea but gave it the club's unqualified support. At least one faculty member pledged to find financial support for the long list of suggested guest speakers: San-der Vanocur, UN officials, foreign policy lecturers and others. A full weekend of international events was to be planned, utilizing the numer-ous talents of foreign students on campus as well as faculty members and students who have been in or studied other countries. Dancing, food and exhibits would complete the hefty schedule.

The committee went to Congress with its plan, and was shot down completely. So, instead of a truly u n i q u e , theme-oriented Home-coming, Hope College wil l suffer through another series of sorority and fraternity luncheons and teas, a toothpaste smiley queen and a uni-versal desire to yawn.

Why no feedback? I should prcface this letter by s tal ing

that it was wri t ten str ict ly to make a point relevant to my discipline and not to ques-tion the ac t ions of any groups or indivi-duals.

1 propose to contras t what I observed at Mope last May af te r President Nixon ' s Cambodian decision with what I observed this Oc tober when Hope was visited by Mr. Ward T h o m p s o n , a Sta te Depa r tmen t official . Mr. T h o m p s o n ' s visit was spon-sored by the S tudent Congress for the

purpose of explaining and receiving s tuden t suggestions regarding U.S. foreign pol icy.

L'SfvC.* i. - >

The Hope C o m m u n i t y was not given much

advance not ice last May or this O c t o b e r . Last May, Hope was one of many campuses sincerely dis turbed by the act ions of our President.

This Oc tobe r , Hope was, wi thou t fan-

fare, and qui te co inc ident ly , the first cam-pus to be visited under a new Sta te Depar tment program which seeks dialogue with s tuden t s on foreign policy issues. It is only logical to speculate that this program is at least partially a response to the Cambodian ou tc ry . A report on the Hope visit is to be included in a m e m o wri t ten for the Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affa i rs , Michael Collins. Consequ-ent ly it seems that Hope made more of an input to the pol icy-making process this October than it did last May.

Last May, approx imate ly a t housand members of the Hope c o m m u n i t y a t t ended an evening rally protes t ing the Cambod ian act ion. Many o ther meet ings were held. A number of s tuden t s b o y c o t t e d classes. This Oc tober , Mr. T h o m p s o n ' s largest audience was captive in the fo rm of my 35 -member internat ional relations class. The open meeting called for 4 p . m . and publicized in

the "Dai ly B u l l e t h r a t t rac ted 15 s t uden t s and one facul ty m e m b e r . Almost all of these individuals were to eat dinner with Mr. T h o m p s o n or were rounded up dur ing a last minu te tour of the Kletz.

Last May, the S tuden t Congress dis-

played admirable matur i ty in leading the entire Hope c i r .umity in an expression of

concern over Cambodia . This Oc tobe r , Mr. T h o m p s o n was left to spend most of his day wi th political science s tuden t s and facu l ty . Last May, the anchor devoted almost an ent ire issue to a provocative coverage of Hope ' s reaction to Cambodia . This Oc tobe r , the anchor ei ther d idn ' t k n o w about Mr. T h o m p s o n ' s visit or de-cided not to cover it. And we wonder why some officials in Washington think only a very few s tuden t s really care about foreign pol icy.

1 am aware that this Oc tobe r ' s lack of interest in an outs ide speaker is no th ing

unusual at Hope or at any o the r campus . Priori ty usually is given to classroom edu-cational object ives and wisely so. The real quest ion is what made last May excep-t ional . The answer appears to be that the events of last May were suff ic ient ly dra-matic to at tract the intense, instant interest of the Hope c o m m u n i t y . ' I get an uneasy feeling when 1 realize that dramat ic events which probably cannot be altered a t t rac t intense, instant interest in foreign pol icy , while an official interested in s tudent opin ion a t t rac ts normal interest . Until such gaps are na r rowed , 1 am inclined to believe that a deeper foreign policy problem exists in American society than in American government .

The Commission on Obsceni ty and Pornography has just released its con-troversial report on the e f f ec t s of porno-graphy on the American people , par t icu-larly children. While this commiss ion was gett ing all the publ ic i ty , ano the r commis-sion was s tudying the e f f e c t s of political rhetor ic and invective on Americans. The conclusions of this la t ter commiss ion may have a much more lasting impact on the c o u n t r y .

THE COMMISSION ON Political Rhe-toric and Invective s tudied speeches by many candidates , but made the most use of those given by Vice President Spiro Agnew.

In a f o o t n o t e on the first page, the

commission said it was no t picking on Mr. Agnew, but since most people had been e x p o s e d . t o Agnew's rhe tor ic , it was easier to s tudy react ions to his words than a politician running for a minor o f f ice .

Here are some of the findings of the s tudy:

MOST PEOPLE WERE not pe rmanen t ly a f fec ted by exposure to one of the Vice President 's speeches, though many are titil-lated by him. Only a small minor i ty ad-mi t ted to having any lascivious though t s a f t e r reading one .

The major i ty of Amer icans interviewed said they believed that adul t people should be allowed to hear Agnew's speeches if they wished to . But many of those inter-viewed said they d idn ' t believe the speeches should be made available to chil-dren .

THE COMMISSION revealed tha t , sur-prisingly, those interested in what Agnew has to say are no t just people looking fo r cheap thrills. Many c o m e f r o m fine middle-class homes and are considered by their neighbors to be pillars of the c o m m u n i t y .

There is a double s tandard in this coun t ry toward Agnew's talks. Many people who crit icize Agnew publicly co-

mmi t political invective in their own bed-rooms when the shades are d rawn.

THE COMMISSION H I R E D partici-pan t s for a l abora tory e x p e r i m e n t . It put couples in rooms and showed TV fi lms of

Agnew speeches. In a lmost all cases the couples denied the speeches had exci ted them. And while some admi t t ed to be-coming highly agitated by hearing words they had never heard b e f o r e , most respon-dents c la imed they had forgo t ten what he had said in an hou r .

"We f o u n d , " the report c o n t i n u e d , " tha t Agnew's bite is worse than his ba rk . The permissiveness of h is poli t ical rhe tor ic , while c o n d o n e d by this commiss ion , does not merit any censoring at this t ime. There is no evidence that a n y o n e has c o m m i t t e d a cr ime a f te r listening to one of the Vice President 's speeches. Indeed , the .oppos i te has proved t rue . Those th ink ing of commi t -ting a cr ime have lost interest af ter hearing him talk.

T H E R E F O R E , AGNEW IS a safety valve fo r those w h o ha rbor antisocial

fantas ies ." The commiss ion refused to judge the

taste of Agnew's speeches because it had no th ing to measure t hem against .

. "I t would be wrong for th is commiss ion to say what is good taste or bad taste, in politics par t icular ly , since the public 's ap-petite seems to be changing all the t ime . Things a Vice President of the Uni ted States w o u l d n ' t or c o u l d n ' t say two years

ago n o w seem to be acceptable to large segments of the popu la t ion .

" T H O S E WHO CLAIM that Agnew is pol lut ing the air with h is rhetor ic may find it moral ly acceptable a few years f r o m now."

The commiss ion ' s repor t was not un-animous . A minor i ty repor t , wr i t ten by the law f i rm of O'Brien, Bayh, Kennedy , Muskie & Goodel l , d e n o u n c e d the report as

a declarat ion of moral b a n k r u p t c y in the c o u n t r y . The dissent said, " O u r children are be ing exposed to m o r e and more Agnew every day. Unless it is cur ta i led , we're going to have some very emot iona l ly dis turbed people on our hands . A n y o n e who suppor t s Agnewography in this coun-try is sick, sick, s ick."

turns into primeval nightm Editor 's Note: This week ' s ancho r review is wr i t ten by Crit iques Editor Gerry Swieringa. He re-v i e w s Deliverance by James Dickey (Houghton Mifflin Com-pany, $4 .95) . .

by Gerry Swieringa

Ominous? Foreboding? Visions of allegory danced through my head while up on the r o o f t o p those seven deadly sins pawed out a prelude to Morality. Was not this a novel by a poet? Aye it was. Was not the tit le thereof Deliver-an eel Aye it was. G o d save us f rom the spectacle of ano ther groveling Everyman, thought I, and cautiously began to read.

BUT ALAS G O O D R E A D E R , by their names ye may not know them. Be thou not misled, Deliver-ance p re t ends to little of allegory and less of moral i ty. In their stead one f inds an account of the exper-iences of four men on a weekend canoe trip in a Sou the rn wilder-ness. Zane ( irey in a Ted True-blood Utopia.

Deliverance, J ames Dickey's first novel, picks up in f ict ion where George P l impton left off in fact. It is the dream of suburban man to leave behind his domest ic allegiances and re-conquer the great forest primeval before it forever vanishes f rom mind and map.

" Y E T THE EYE COULD not leave the whole; there was a har-mony of some kind. Maybe, 1 thought , it 's because this tries to show what exists. And also be-cause it represents someth ing that is going to change, for good. There, near my left hand , a new color, a blue, would seep upward into the paper, _and 1 tried to move my mind there and nowhere

else and imagine a single detail tha t , if 1 d idn ' t see it that week-end, I never would ; tried to make out a deer ' s eye in the leaves, tried to pick up a single stone. The world is easily lost ."

There are four of t hem who share the dream, wlio pack their beer and sleeping bags and leave to hunt Diana, leave to stalk and seduce her in a late summer ' s weekend. When they re turn they are but three: one dead, one w o u n d e d , o n e e m o t i o n a l l y broken, and one- only one, stronger. Deliverance exacts a de-manding pennance .

BEYOND BEING A mere ad-venture s tory however, Deliver-ance comes up hard against the quest ion, "What is each man ' s potential to inflict violence?" And tlie answer is equally hard ; a man is able and very possibly will inflict great violence upon his

fellow man. It appears to be a rather dark ind ic tment ; dark, that is, until it is realized that violence is the one vehicle to deliverance.

Man comes off about equal with the more preda tory forest creatures in this novel. Tha t seems to be the discovery Dickey has made, and consequent ly the o n e upon which he builds his s tory. But even the predators of the forest maintain a grace in their killings, while man stalks and slaughters in a spiraling f renzy of b lood.

YET EVEN IN THE pursuit of murder there is an a f f i rmat ion present. Finding his men capable ol the most violent execut ion of life seems to impress Dickey more than terr ify him. Murder becomes a ritual, a rite of manhood , and only the strongest survive it.

"Every th ing was right, it could not have been bet ter . My anchor

was good and f irm, and the broad-head seemed almost rock-steady. I was full of the transfiguring power of full draw, the draw-hysteria that is the ruinat ion of some archers and the making of others, who can conquer it and make it work for t h e m . "

S IMULTANEOUS WITH man 's deliverance f rom man is man's deliverance f r o m the destruct ive capacities of the envi ronment . The river runs in a falling rapids between aged walls of granite, becoming like the hunter , a symbol of both death and deliver-ance. It is in the stark portrayal of the beauty and peril of this envir-onment that Dickey's c o m m a n d of the poet ic is most certainly experienced.

"The river was blank and mind-less with beau ty . It was the most glorious thing I have ever seen.

But it was not seeing, really, l or once it was not just seeing. It was beholding. 1 beheld the river in its icy pit of brightness, in its far-below sound and indifference,* in its large coil and t iny points and flashes of the moon , in its long sinuous form, in its uncomprehen-ding consequence . "

JUST AS MAN TO BE de-livered f rom murder must become a murderer , so to be delivered f rom the harsh death of rock and river he must become an element ol the rock, a churn ing vessel of the river. It is in this synthesis, this comple te loss of one 's man-hood before the overwhelming necessity of survival that Deliver-ance cradles its violence.

Kunstler to defend 25 indicted by grand jury

( A P ) - T h e Kent Sta te Univer-sity s tudent government has set defense machinery in mot ion for 25 persons indicted by a special grand jury that investigated the campus violence of last May.

A D E F E N S E F U N D that or-ganizers hope will m u s h r o o m into a na t ionwide e f fo r t has been start-ed. At to rney William Kunstler has agreed to work for the de fendan t s wi thout fee.

Meanwhile, the c a m p u s - w h e r e four s tuden t s were killed in a c o n f r o n t a t i o n with National Guardsmen during the rioting last sp r ing -was quiet Sa turday .

' T h e r e was a lot of paranoia before the repor t , but now there ' s a sense of re l ief ," said S tuden t Body President Craig Morgan. "A lot of u n k n o w n fac to r s are g o n e . "

THE NAMES OF those indict-ed F r i d a y - n o n e G u a r d s m e n -were withheld pending the serving of warrants . The na ture of the charges was not disclosed.

T h e s t u d e n t government announced it would man its o f f ice around the clock t o help those arrested obta in legal assistance.

Sheriff Joseph C. Hegedus said Saturday his o f f i ce had received the ind ic tmen t s and they were being processed, bu t that no ar-rests were expec ted before Mon-day.

Morgan said Kunst ler , defense a t torney in the Chicago 7 riot

trial, has agreed to coord ina te a defense program for those indict-ed. He said he con tac ted Kunst ler in Bermuda, where the a t t o rney is vacationing.

MORGAN WAS ONE of those subpoenaed by the grand jury and could not c o m m e n t on c o n t e n t s of the j u ry ' s repor t because of a court order , still in e f f ec t , pre-venting jurors , lawyers, witnesses or anyone else connec ted with the investigation f rom talking to newsmen about any phase of the probe.

The ju ry ' s 1 8-pagc report pre-pared under the direct ion of Fore-man Rober t Hastings, a Ravenna, Ohio, insurance man, exonera ted National Guard t roops in the kill-ing of the s tudents .

It said " m a j o r respons ib i l i ty" for the disorders " res t s c lea r ly" with the university adminis t ra-t ion.

OF T H E MAY 4 con f ron t a t i on , the repor t said ". . . i t is clear that f rom the t ime the guard reached the pract ice footbal l field they were on the defensive and had every reason to be concerned for their own wel fa re . "

It said the tragedy probably would have been avoided if the s tudents had heeded the guard ' s orders to disperse. fFor complete story on the Kent State grand jury, please turn to page 6.)

To date this co lumn has dis-cussed the l-S(C) de f e rmen t . A l-S(C), you recall, is automat ica l ly available once to any fu l l t ime college s tudent who , while satis-factorily pursuing his studies, re-ceives an induct ion order. The new draf t regulat ions announced on Sept. 30 clarify some ambigui-ties that formerly surrounded the l-S(C). These regulat ions also create a new legal t rap which may catch some unwary s tudents who get a l-S(C) in early 1971.

IN ORDER TO apprecia te the clarification made by the new law, consider the fol lowing example . Suppose a s tudent named J o h n Lewis has lot tery number 190. He wants to put his year of vulner-ability to the draf t behind him. There fore , he decides to gamble on his number . John deliberately remains 1-A this fall, instead of taking ano ther 11-S upon re turning to college.

John loses his gamble. The draf t board reaches 190 and issues John an induct ion order before the end of 1970. Fol lowing the procedure previously explained in this co lumn, J o h n will immedi-ately have his induct ion o rder cancelled and receive a l-S(C) de-ferment for the rest of his aca-demic year.

T H E R E A F T E R , WHENEVER John is reclassified 1-A, 1-A-O (noncomba tan t C.O.) or 1-0 (civil-ian work C.O.), he will fall back into the lottery pool and become available for induct ion (or civilian work) according to his lot tery number . That number alone is determinat ive under the new regu-lations.

Under the old regulations, one misleading provision gave some draf t boards the false impression that a registrant in John ' s posi t ion should automatical ly be draf ted as soon as his l-S(C) expired. For tu -nately this misleading provision has been el iminated f rom the new regulations. There fo re , whe ther or not John will be d ra f ted a f t e r his I-S(C) expires depends entirely

.upon the posit ion his lot tery num-ber occupies within the board ' s lottery pool .

OF COURSE, JOHN may be able to remain out of the pool even a f t e r his l-S(C) e::pires. If he does so beyond his 26th b i r thday, through a series of de fe rments , exempt ions , and legitimate delays, he will immediate ly sink toward the b o t t o m of the " o r d e r of call" for induct ion. Once there, he will never be d ra f t ed , unless there is a full-scale mobi l izat ion.

Under the old regulations John could not have made it over 26 successfully if he had been en-gaged in some delay that pre-vented the board f rom order ing him to repor t . The old regulat ions would have extended John ' s d ra f t liability beyond the end of his delay, regardless of his age. This legal trap has been removed f rom the new regulat ions. For John , then, age 26 has regained its al-lure.

THE NEXT EXAMPLE illu-strates hew the new regulat ions create a dangerous t rap for some s tudents who get classified l-S(C) in the beginning of 1971. Let us assume this t ime that our s tudent fr iend, John Lewis, has lot tery number 150. Af te r his last 11-S expired, J o h n did not get a new one. By Sep tember 15, John was on campus but complete ly vulner-able t o the d ra f t as a I-A m e m b e r of the lo t tery pool .

As of Sept . 15, John ' s board had already passed his number (150) and reached 175. Then , the board 's lo t tery pool exper iences an influx of I-A registrants who, like John , are completely vulner-able to the d ra f t . Many of these registrants have lo t tery numbers that are not only below 175 ( the highpoint reached by the board on Sept. 15) but also below 150 ( John ' s number ) . There fo re , in filling d ra f t calls for the rest of 1970, the board will be forced to backtrack f r o m 175 to the lowest available numbers ( some of which are even lower than John ' s ) .

BY DEC. 31, 1970, the board has climbed back up to 140. John

The Best of Peanuts

(number 150) is not issued an induct ion order in 1970, a l though he remains 1-A and vulnerable at the end of the year .

Under the new regulations, John will enter a special " E x -tended Priority Selection G r o u p " at the top of the 1971 lot tery pool. John meets the three neces-sary requi rements for membership in the new G r o u p : (1) He was in the lot tery pool (i.e., classified 1-A, 1-A-O or 1-0) on Dec. 31, l l )70; and (2) His lot tery n u m b e r had been reached or passed at some t ime during 1970; and (3) He was, nevertheless, not issued an induct ion order during 1970.

STARTING IN 1971, J o h n ' s board will draf t only men from the Extended Priority Group . Ex-cept for volunteers, the Ex tended Priority Group will have exclusive top priority within the overall lottery pool. This exclusivity will last only until April 1, 1971. The board will only resort to the over-all lot tery pool prior to April 1 if the Extended Priority Group has already been exhaus ted .

If John ' s number is not reached within the Ex tended Priority Group , and he is not ordered to report for induct ion prior to April 1, then he will immediately sink to a level of reduced priority within the overall 1971 lot tery pool . Barring full-scale mobil izat ion, John will never be d ra f t ed .

WHAT IF J O H N ' S number is reached, and he is ordered to report prior to April 1? John can still get a l-S(C) at this p o i n t ; his induct ion order will be cancelled, and he will be deferred unti l the end of his academic year.

However, the long-range con-sequences of J o h n ' s l-S(C) will be devastating. Under the new regula-tions, up until age 35 (not 2 6 as in the preceding example) , if John is ever reclassified I-A, I-A-0 or 1-0, he will instantly reenter the state of Extended Priori ty. Upon re-entry, John will immediately be ordered to report before anyone else in the overall lot tery pool (except for volunteers) .

Dutch take second conference win, 3 7-21 Hope College posted its second

conference victory of the 1970 campaign Saturday by overpower-ing Olivet College, 37-21 , at windy Reed Field. It was Hope ' s first win on the road this year.

GREG VOSS, f r e s h m a n s tand-o u t , again led the D u t c h m e n to payd i r t . Voss scored th ree touch-

d o w n s on runs of n ine , two and one ya rds and led Hope ' s rushing a t t ack . He had several runs in excess of ten yards , with his longest being a 20-yard scamper in the first quar te r . Voss picked u p 13 of H o p e ' s 23 first downs .

H o p e received t o start the game. T h e first series was plagued by penal t ies charged against b o t h teams. However , Hope drove t o the 12-yard line be fo re tu rn ing the ball over on loss of downs . H o p e ' s defense held, but the Oli-vet p u n t e r b o o m e d t h e ball 78 yards to put Hope deep in its own t e r r i to ry . A 20-yard pun t against the wind gave Olivet the ball on Hope ' s 25.

WITH 3 : 5 8 LEFT IN the first q u a r t e r . Olivet sneaked it over. The ex t ra point was no g o o d . Hope took over and marched d e e p into Olivet ' s half of the f ie ld ; the Dutch did not score and se t t led for Mike Hinga 's 27-yard field goal.

Mike Cummings raced 4 8 ya rds for Olivet ' s second score . Olivet did not score again unti l late in the f o u r t h qua r t e r . H o p e then moved the ball 60 yards and scored on Voss' t w o yard run. The ball exchanged hands unti l Hope scored with 41 seconds left in the first half . Voss plunged one yard fo r the score.

HINGA KICKED OFF i n to the end zone to start the second half. H o p e ' s defense t u r n e d the ball over t o the o f f e n s e , which p r o m p t l y scored. Fresh mart Chuck Brooks carried the ball over f r o m the 10-yard line. Doug Smi th ' s in te rcep t ion gave H o p e the ball again. Vete ran Bob Have man scored the D u t c h ' s f o u r t h t ouch -down wi th 2:41 left in the thi rd qua r t e r .

Dave J o h n s o n set u p Hope ' s f i f th score with an i n t e r cep t ion on the 43-yard line. Voss carr ied two tacklers over the goal to record his third score of the a f t e r n o o n . A Hope f u m b l e on t h e of fens ive snap gave Olivet the foo tba l l on H o p e ' s 37 . Olivet scored with the minu te s t icking away t o make the score 37 t o 21, the final tally.

The next game is against con-ference foe Albion, a must game if the F ly ing D u t c h m e n h o p e t o finish in second or even first place in the final s tandings.

Claxton leads harriers to Olivet victory, 19-46 H o p e College's harr iers , paced
