Girls vie for Nykerk Cup by Nancy Warner anchor Reporter

The loud exc i t emen t of the Pull with its shou t s of "Heave ! " and " L o c k - i n ! " is past , and the subdued contest be tween the feminine coun te rpa r t s of the f r e shman and s o p h o m o r e classes is approaching.

The Holland police depar tment has turned over to the College Judicial Board the quest ion of disciplinary act ion for violation of a parade permit on Oct . 1 5.

HOLLAND POLICE chief Les-lie VanBeveren conferred with Dean of S tudents Robert De-Young, Student Congress presi-dent Tim Liggett and Judicial Board chief just ice Judi Cooper last Thu r sday . In his remarks . C h i e f VanBeveren said that marchers in the Oct . 15 moratori-um peace march violated their parade permit when they marched on Eighth St. T o Windmill Island.

He no ted that a permit had been ob ta ined for a procession f rom the campus to Kollen Park, with the route to fol low Tenth St. About half the marchers, how-ever, chose to proceed on River Ave. to Eighth St., then to Wind-mill Island. At three points during the march, this group was told that it was violating the law and the established parade permit .

"BY MARCHING ON Eighth St., the group violated city parade laws as well as state regulations, because Eighth St. is part of a state h ighway , " Chief VanBeveren said. "The marchers also violated laws concerning the opera t ion of Windmill Is land," he s ta ted. The marchers failed to pay the admis-sion charge to the Island.

" T h e march in violation of the law was apparent ly instigated by a small group of s tuden t s , " Chief VanBeveren said. ' T h e o ther marchers simply fol lowed a long." The police chief did not iden t i fy the alleged instigators.

The police s tudied press photo-graphs taken by The Holland

Evening Sentinel in an a t t emp t to ident i fy the alleged inst igators of the procession.

"WE PLAN TO TAKE no c o u r t a c t i o n a g a i n s t t h e marchers ," he cont inued . " T h e Judicial Board should handle the case in its own way." He made no r ecommenda t ions as to what act ion the Board should take against the marchers.

Nearly 300 marchers were in-volved in the peace march to Windmill Island. A second group of the same size was issued a permit to march to Kollen Park, but was re-routed to Centennial Park instead by police escorts. " T h e of f icer told us he didn ' t know that we had planned to march to Kollen Park ," said mora-tor ium organizer Cassius Bultman. "1 think the police just wanted to get the whole thing over wi th . "

The Judicial Board discussed the issue last Thursday , but made no s ta tement . "We have no formal complaint on which to a c t , " n o t e d B o a r d m e m b e r Judi Cooper . "1 don ' t think we can do any th ing , " she said. Jan Dzunna , ano the r Judicial Board member , s ta ted , "We don' t plan to do any th ing abou t the marchers . Un-less the police bring a complaint and provide evidence t o prove the guilt of the s tudents involved, there is no need for us to make a n y s t a tement or take any ac t ion . "

MISS DZURINA felt the issue was outs ide the jur isdict ion of the Board even if a formal complaint was made because no College regulations were broken.

Bids for the DeWitt S tuden t Cultural and Social Center and the Wichers addi t ion to the Nykerk Hall of Music revealed that the buildings may be more costly than original est imates.

IN A SPECIAL ce remony presided over by Board of Trus-tees Chairman Hugh DePree, it was found that the DeWitt Center will cost approx imate ly 16 per-cent more than the a rch i tec t ' s original price est imates. The addi-tion to the music building will run ten percent over original figures.

The DeWitt Center was pro-jected to cost $2 ,083 ,000 , but the figure for actual cons t ruc t ion will probably be about $2 ,427 ,000 , according to Clarence Handlogten, College Treasurer and Business Manager. To ta l cost of the build-ing, including furnishings, archi-tect ' s fees and landscaping will be $2 ,700 ,000 .

AN EXECUTIVE session of the Board of Trus tees is meet ing today with archi tect Charles Stade to review the bids and de te rmine the actual cost of both buildings. Low bidder on cons t ruc t ion was Erhardt Cons t ruc t ion Co., with a base bid for the DeWitt Center and music building addi t ion of $1 ,679 ,000 .

Cont rac t s may be awarded within "a couple of weeks ," no ted Mr. Handlogten . " T h e plans have received tentat ive approval of the of f ice of state fire marshall, pen-

ding certain modi f i ca t ions , " he said.

THE I N C R E A S E IN price of the building " is largely due to the delays in p lanning ," Mr. Handlog-ten commen ted . " T h e buildings are now six to nine m o n t h s be-hind schedule, and cons t ruc t ion costs have risen sharply during that pe r iod . " Mr. Handlogten also was concerned that " w e may not have enough figures for the bids to be truly compet i t ive . "

President Calvin VanderWerf said, "We will begin work immedi-ately in order to award the con-t rac ts . " He said the College would

be able to raise the addit ional f u n d s to cover the price hike.

T H E R E WERE SOME dis-c repanc ies in the documen t s which the bidders received. One bidder commen ted before bid opening, "What a fouled up mess. The drawings were ske tchy; the specif icat ions were sketchy. My bid would have been higher if I hadn ' t called the engineer to find out what this i n fo rma t ion was supposed to mean . "

Anothe r bidder, however , felt the in fo rma t ion was adequa t e for drawing up his bid. A third bidder had no c o m m e n t .

Coming home by Brenda Spears

Last week was Homecoming weekend. That word " h o m e -coming" bothers me; 1 guess you can invert it and the new word "coming h o m e " will have roughly the same meaning.

MAYBE THAT 'S what all the fuss and exc i tement is about . . . . someone is coming back to Hope, the place where his adult ident i ty became established. It must be a t ime that calls for some sort of celebrat ion, though I 'm not sure. Perhaps I, and o ther black stu-dents, should just sit back, playing the role of specta tor , and be quiet . We blacks are supposed to step to the background when our usefulness is over, or so I've been taught . Still, the words "coming h o m e " seem to haunt me.

I could not share in the general enthusiasm of the lily white crowd. I t ' s hard for black s tudents in general to feel this enthusiasm, this school spirit, for he knows that his homecoming will not be a

celebrat ion of joy. It will be a cont inuat ion of the struggle he began in e lementary school. It is a struggle that cont inues because he must make a place for the people whose spirits have enabled him to succeed. The black s tudent has a t r emendous responsibil i ty towards his people , for he knows that if he doesn ' t help them fight oppres-sion no one else will.

AND HOME TO THE black s tudent is not an easy batt lefield. His people are, in many cities, besieged by hostile outsiders. One cannot escape this reali ty. The black man 's reality is hi t t ing him in the face, ramming the s tench of poverty and disease down his throat with such force that he forgets that it is possible to have unpol lu ted envi ronments .

Escape f r o m this unrealistic and impract ical ; t rying to ignore what white society is doing to our people by exploi t ing them while

moving in white middle-class circles, will no t remove the white man 's brutal conduc t .

COMING HOME WE must carry the intellectual ideal of blackness which was the center of our personal c o n f r o n t a t i o n in col-lege. We must cont inue to realize whatever our personal blackness might mean to us, and see it in daily life. For us to come home and fade in to the background of the bourgeois scene would be in-sane. It would end in self-destruc-t ion.

It will be impossible for us to settle down in to suburban Ameri-ca. Our lives will be one contin-uous struggle to realize our black-ness and to feel human in a world that will con t inue to t reat us as animals if we allow it. When we come home we must be prepared to merge in to our communi t i e s and begin whatever work is neces-sary.

Admission requi rements , regis-t rat ion and parietal hours were discussed by the S tudent Congress at its meeting last Tuesday.

THE CONGRESS discussed and criticized the admission re-qu i rements and curr iculum of the College. Many Congress members felt that the College was remiss in lowering its s tandards of admis-sion to s tuden t s with disadvan-taged educat ional backgrounds , and then not providing extra help for those s tuden t s once they had been admi t ted .

S t rong summer programs and non-credit remedial courses during the school year were suggested as possible so lu t ions to the problem. Mark VanderLaan proposed co-orperative programs with Grand Rapids and Muskegon jun ior col-leges. According to VanderLaan , however, this program would be diff icul t to implement unless Hope received addi t ional financial

T H E CONGRESS reviewed proposals before the Curr iculum C o m m i t t e e which would list courses in the h a n d b o o k but not necessarily o f f e r them during the school year. " I n some cases," commen ted J im Rubins, "courses have not been o f fe red fo r two years, ye t are still being listed in the manual. T h e depa r tmen t s should list only courses which will defini tely be o f fe red , and not those which they are only con-sidering."

A calender change for course registration was announced to the Congress by s tuden t s on the Aca-demic Affairs Board. Registrat ion

for classes next semester will be held in mid-December , with fees payable dur ing the week of finals.

THE CONGRESS also dis-cussed parietal hours, and took a "s t raw v o t e " for use by the Campus Life Board. According to Fran Hooper , a s tudent member of the CLB, the facul ty is seeking s tudent opin ion on parietal hours. A poll was taken last year m which s tuden t s voted by a seven to one margin to adopt inter-room visiting hours . No decision on parietal hours has been reached by the CLB.

Congress president Tim Liggett proposed a possible fu tu re assem-bly in which s tuden t s could be-come acquainted with president Calvin VanderWerf , his off ice as President and learn how it relates to the College. Also discussed with the Cul tural Affa i rs Program and a plan for f u t u r e faculty and course evaluation by students.

Homecoming attendance low Trustees to study ways of augmenting income

by Charlotte Whitney anchor Reporter

Low at tendance marked Satur-day morning's "Come See About Us" events, which replaced the traditional Homecoming parade.

LARGE CROWDS, however, were reported at the annual Kletz Concert, Homecoming football g a m e a n d the Homecoming Dance.

Marian Stryker, Alumni Execu-tive Secretary, attributed the low at tendance to the fact that " there was nothing to replace the Home-coming parade, which was the morning's single activity bringing everyone together ."

T H E 1NTRAFRATERN1TY " D i g " competi t ion had been scheduled to replace the parade, but the event had to be cancelled because of the numerous pipes buried in Kollen Field. The "Dig" was to have marked the second anniversary of the groundbreaking for the DeWitt Student Cultural and Social Center.

All events scheduled for the morning were poorly at tended. The college choir and stage band practices for alumni Saturday morning were poorly a t tended, as was the discussion of the Philadel-phia Urban Semester program or-ganized by Dr. David Clark.

AN ANTI-WAR film This Soli-tude was featured at the Coffee Grounds Friday night and Satur-day morning. Few alumni came for this production, coffee house chairman John Boonstra said.

Fif teen students in the theater depar tment were involved in pre-senting selections f rom Spoon River Anthology twice to audi-ences of about 20 persons.

S O R O R I T I E S REPORTED moderate at tendance at the open houses held in the sorority rooms. The Mortar Board Tea drew only 12 alumni, according to Barb Skidmore, secretary of Mortar Board.

The fifth annual Kletz Concert was one of the weekend activities that was well a t tended.

The Homecoming game was one of the highlights of the week-end. During half-time activities. Queen Eileen Reus and her court were presented.

CAPTURING FIRST place in Greek scholastic competition were the Kappa Chi sorority and the Cosmopolitan fraternity. Alpha Phi sorority and the Arcadian fraternity took second place in their respective divisions. The awards were made during half-time.

The Frederic and A Long Time A Comin' provided music for the Homecoming Dance, which drew over 275 couples.

Attendance was high at the Stu-den t Church Service Sunday morning, at which Dr. George Buttrick, former chaplain of Har-vard University, spoke.

CONCLUDING THE Home-coming weekend activities was a well-received piano concert given by Dr. Brian Dykstra in Dimnent Memorial Chapel Sunday after-noon.

Referring to the new concept of Homecoming, Student Con-gress president Tim Liggett said he was a bit disappointed, but that m a n y alumni had expressed enthusiasm for the new format. The Student Congress will review this year's Homecoming before deciding on the format for next year.

German Club plans Oktoberfest for Wed.

The Hope College Board of Trustees met last week to consider the budget for the coming school year and to hear reports on new buildings and use of the Gold property gift.

IN THEIR REGULAR fall meeting, the trustees discussed the trend towards increased operating expenses and the slowdown in student enrollment increases. The Board decided to study further possible methods of augmenting income. Among the methods under study will be an increase in tuition charges.

The trustees proposed a confer-ence to discuss the College and its relation to the church. The con-ference, to be held in early 1970, will at tempt to promote better understanding and closer church-College ties.

THE QUESTION of use of the Gold property and estate was brought before the Board by Col-lege Treasurer and Business Mana-

The meal, beginning at 6 :15 p.m. in the conference room, is open to professors and club mem-bers only. Following the dinner, f rom 7:30 to 9, a public miniature General Assembly will be held. The key problem discussed is to be the Middle East Crisis. Dr. John Hollenbach, Jack Holmes and Robert Elder of the faculty.

as well as s tudents from 13 coun-tries will join together in a panel.

The U.N. Day program is plan-ned not only to demonstrate Gen-eral Assembly procedure, but also to give students insight into the mid-Eastern situation.

The crisis will be surveyed from the economic and social standpoints which the General As-sembly in New York may take. The minature assembly, in imita-tion of the United Nations, will also review three possible solu-tions.

holding an Oktoberfest celebra-t ion in the Julianna Room Wednesday evening. High spots in the evening will be the punch, the lottery for doorprizes (one for each of the three sexes-mascu-line, feminine and neuter) , the chance to learn some authentic German drinking, songs, and the opportunity to participate in a little dancing.

There will be a live band and plenty of hotdogs and mustard... buns will also be included. (Per-haps the Oktoberfest explains why in Germany at the present time, it is the Lederhosen manu-facturer 's slack season.

The law and marijuana Last week the Holland City police ar-

rested two students on charges of posses-sion of marijuana. A th i rd student was arrested this week on charges of frequen-t ing a house where illegal activity was being conducted.

This most recent action has several precedents. Last year three students were

ancFjor editorial

arrested on similar charges. Other students were charged wi th possession of marijuana at the end of the school year.

In the past, the College has taken action only against those students who partici-pated in allegedly illegal activities on campus property or in violation of the College regulations. This is the proper course of action for the College, for it eliminates the charge of "double jeopardy" for those students who do not violate the College code, and it also makes effective the rules which apply to students acting in violation of the law on College property.

The arrests during the past few days point up a more involved situation, how-ever. The entire question of marijuana laws

has been raised countless times in recent years. Many states have considered modi-f ication of or abolishment of existing laws. Scientists have researched the question of effects of marijuana for months.

There has been much research perform-ed regarding physiological, psychological and sociological side effects of " po t . " But there has been no conclusive evidence to support any one view of the drug. In fact, the evidence seems completely contradic-tory. While one study may show that marijuana has no long term effects, for example, another study points out dangers for long-time users.

Certainly, the punishments possible under the law for violation of marijuana laws are exaggerated. In some states, per-sons convicted under these laws can be imprisoned for 50 years of more. A re-eval-uation of these laws is long overdue.

But regardless of recent research results, the use, possession and sale of marijuana is still in violation of state laws. It is also a College offense if used on College-owned property. Unti l conclusive evidence can be presented on which to base a change in these laws, we urge each member of the Hope Community to carefully consider the risks he is taking when he knowingly violates the marijuana laws.

An economic necessity For the past several years the steadily

increasing tui t ion fees charged by Hope College have been a source for complaints by the stutudent body against the Administration. In the last three years alone, the tui t ion charged at Hope has increased $500, and the Board of Trustees is again considering raising the tu i t ion to meet the increased cost of running an educational insti tut ion such as Hope College.

In the past the anchor has viewed these increases as necessary for the type of education Hope College offers. As such we have supported the tui t ion hikes though we, too, consider them burdensome both to students and their parents.

Hope College remained near the bottom of the tu i t ion list of Great Lake College

Readers speak out

Association schools even w i th its $ 2 0 0 increase last year. If the tu i t ion were to be increased another $200, for example, Hope would stil l be very low on the tui t ion list for GLCA schools, simply because these schools also are feeling the financial pinch. We point out these facts only to show the Hope student that Hope College is not an expensive insti tut ion to attend when compared to similar schools, and that similar schools are also increasing their tui t ion.

Though it is unfortunate that tu i t ion has increased over the last few years, and though we hope that the Board of Trustees wil l f ind other means of meeting Hope's financial needs, if an increase in tu i t ion does come it should be viewed as an academic and economic necessity.

A brighter picture I was in chapel Tuesday morning, and I

heard Bob Blanton's dynamic speech against the American system, or maybe I should say against Americans. Unfortu-nately, I don't have the ability to com-municate that he certainly posesses, but I feel compelled to respond to his speech no matter how unworthy my efforts may be in comparison. I'm sure that the strong feel-ings behind my words are of much more value than the words themselves.

dear editor

Mr. Blanton painted a pretty bleak and ugly picture of America that morning. He didn't seem to leave out a thing that was degrading, deteriorating, disgusting or downright discouraging. Although the existence of all the evils he mentioned in America cannot be denied and should not be excused, it represents only a small portion in the picture I would paint of our country.

I would include people working for freedom from poverty and oppression where he painted only slavery. I would include people laughing because they have found happiness with others where he painted only people crying in anguish because they feel they didn't get a fair shake. My picture would have in it millions of doors waiting to be pushed open where Mr. Blanton painted locks without any keys.

Don't misunderstand me. I am fully aware of the need for advancement and improvement. But I advocate a means of continued construction to reach the end, whereas Mr. Blanton spoke of destruction. I'm sure that we would both agree that any step forward will require individual efforts. It will have to start from the inside and work its way out. Its roots will have to be fed with brotherly love and toleration before we can expect to see it branch out and produce fruits.

Why, then, I ask, was Mr. Blanton's picture full of hatred? If this is all he sees in America- i f this is all he sees in Ameri-ca's people, then I truly feel sorry for him. He's missing the best life has to offer by seeing only its worst.

The protest vote What good is protest unless you have

something to back it up with? On October 15th, students protested United States policy in Vietnam. But how many of those students protesting in back of Van Raalte can back up their protest with their right to vote? Very few, I imagine.

One reason Richard Nixon can say he will not be affected by the moratorium is because a great majority of those protes-ting cannot vote. "But we will be able to vote in a few years," you counter. True, but will you be registered, educated and willing to vote? I doubt it.

Most of us will just ignore voting be-cause we feel we cannot affect the process with our one vote . But if we do exercise our right to vote even against our belief that it will not make any difference, we might be surprised to find out that we can affect the process.

When you turn 21, make the effort to register, make the effort to obtain an absentee ballot if needed, and then vote. But be sure that you vote from knowledge and not cocksure ignorance. Because if you vote from ignorance you do as much damage as not voting at all.

Keep protesting, but make sure that when y o u turn 21, you make that effec-tive. Do not just protest and then do nothing about it. Give a damn about voting and we can do something about this stupid war in Vietnam.

Getting out of 'Nam' by Art Buchwald

The Vietnam solution, as most people look at it now, is for the Americans to get out "with honor." How this can be accom-plished is President Nixon's major problem and one that he is devoting his days and nights to.

PROF. HEINRICH Applebaum, dean of the political science department at the University of Dissent, has been studying various withdrawal plans that could be implemented as soon as the President decides to move.

"The secret of getting out of Vietnam can be found in how we got in," Prof. Applebaum told me. "We just cannot leave South Vietnam after all these years with-out some explanation. We had a cover story when we went in, and we must have a cover story when we go out."

"What kind of a cover story, Profes-sor?"

"WE MUST PLAN a Gulf of Tonkin Resolution in reverse."

"How's that?" "If you recall, the Gulf of Tonkin

Resolution passed by the Senate gave Johnson carte blanche to escalate Ameri-can participation in the war. It was after the Gulf of Tonkin that the President decided to bomb the North and send in hundreds of thousands of GIs. What hap-pened at the Gulf of Tonkin was that two American destroyers reported they were attacked by North Vietnamese PT boats at night. This got the President furious and he decided that if the North Vietnamese were going to attack him in the Gulf of Tonkin, he damn well was going to attack them anywhere he pleased.

"THERE IS STILL some question," Applebaum said, "whether the two de-stroyers actually saw any PT boats, but that's not the point.

The President got Senate approval to do anything he wanted to, and he did. Now President Nixon is faced with the job of undoing most of what President John-son did."

"What do you suggest, Professor?" "We should rig it so that four or five PT

boats attack two American destroyers in San Francisco Bay. Then President Nixon could go on the air and announce that our American ships were fired upon at night and he was asking the Senate for a 'Bay of San Francisco Resolution.'"

"WHAT WOULD be in the resolution?" "The resolution would state that since

two American destroyers had been openly and defiantly attacked, the President was calling all the troops in Vietnam to Califor-nia, where they would be stationed until the Californians could defend themselves. He would say that he was reluctant to bring back so many troops, but that the people who fired upon the two destroyer^ must be made to pay for their aggression."

"Do you think the Senate would pass a 'Bay of San Francisco Resolution'?"

"THEY WOULD if we produced the proof that the destroyers had been at-tacked. After all, the United States has a commitment to California. It was first made by Eisenhower, then confirmed by John F. Kennedy and then Lyndon B. Johnson. President Nixon could not go down in history as the first President to lose a state."

"So after the resolution was passed by the Senate, President Nixon could start pulling our troops in Vietnam out?"

Morally the President would have no choice. No matter what you think of Gov. Reagan's regime, you couldn't let Califor-nia go down the drain."

"HOW MANY troops do you think President Nixon could withdraw from Viet-nam and send to California under the 'Bay of San Francisco Resolution'?"

"There should be a limit. I don't think more than 5 0 0 , 0 0 0 . "

"But there are only 500 ,000 American troops in South Vietnam."

The professor looked and me and smiled. "Quite," he said. Copyright 1969.

Home, home on the range . . , without tears Editor's Note: This week's am:/7or review is wr i t ten by anchor cri-tiques editor Robert Kief t . He reviews Cowboys Don't Cry by L.J. Davis (New York, Vik ing

Clark Kent , the improbab le hero (bu t t ? ) of L.J. Davis' Covv^ boys Don't Cry awakes drunk on a sleek blue j e t bound for New York. His fel low passengers are

MILD-MANNERED, 28-year-old-assistant-in-the-physics-depart-ment Kent deplanes in New York, gets in to a tax i driven by a former governor of Wyoming who passes out pamphle t s on the "Peri ls of Dr ink , " and goes to his sister's apa r tmen t where is is roled penni-less by that charming young lady and her narco boy f r i end .

The Best of Peanuts

v

dumb acquiescence to the whim of fa te . Says the nar ra tor of Kent :

"HE WAS GRADUALLY los-ing his fai th in the immutabi l i ty of events; no t only did anyth ing , however implausable , seem pro-bable and causes no longer result in predictable effects , but even when events hit him over the head, he felt curiously u n t o u c h e d , as though his t rue substance were elsewhere and he was inhabit ing this bizarre envelope of flesh for yet 'a little whi le ."

As the old saying goes. Cow-hoys Don't Cry is a novel of our peculiar t ime. It is a novel abou t des t ruct ion in which, curiously, the des t ruc t ion is meaningless, where men are aware of their

defeat , but somehow ignore or are insensitive to it.

IT IS A NOVEL of the brutal absurdity of life and the inhuman d e h u m a n i z i n g non-sequitur of events. The reasonless world of Clark Kent , which he totally accepts wi thou t though t of rebel-lion, is the dea th of hope and the f rus t r a t ion of expec ta t ion , a world in which a man is beaten to a bloody pulp but never let die.

In this, his first novel, L.J. Davis has wri t ten a t remendous ly funny book . The pages are filled with insane incongruit ies and hi-larious s i tuat ions. The opening chapter , which finds Kent aboard the plane, has got to be one of the great side-splitters in recent fic-tion. And drawn with a quick eye for detail and gift for language, L.J. Davis' characters , whose com-icality is matched only by their gruesomeness, are minor master-pieces of the absurd.

BUT, TOO, FROM beneath the comic surface, there emerges a bit terness and desolat ion that gra-dually envelopes the novel. Pinball Kent sustains buf fe t af ter bu f f e t in the mechanism of his absurd destiny, a f t e r each setback coming around again for what inevitably turns out to be more of the same. He is given no quar te r , no reason to hope , no oppor tun i ty to advance far ther than three miles behind the start ing line. And all he knows is that "Cowboys don ' t cry. The brave win ."

" C o w b o y s don ' t cry, and af ter years of condi t ioning nei ther did Ken t . " And so his life proceeds through round a f te r round of the senselessly stupid in a world in which the things that happen have no right to happen all to one man. The pot-holed road of his exis-tence takes him, near the end of the novel, to ano ther d r u n k ; and we still want to laugh at him because he is such a classic case, but we can' t because life has left him little more than a mangled, pathet ic lump of bleeding flesh to call his own.

S T R I P P E D OF everything except his gift for receiving pain, Kent walks away f rom it all at the end of the novel, alone, yet hold-ing his head as high as he can, going immediately not to the home of his dreams and hopes but stopping in the middle distance to investigate the possibilities t h e r e -home may not even be possible anymore.

Kent the lamb, the sacrificial Superman under the knife of his absurd dest iny, flies off to who knows what speeding bullets, what new locomotives and tall buildings. And we don ' t even hear so much as a whimper for what has gone before or for what might have been. For cowboys and s u p e r m e n and mild-mannered pinball Kents mayn ' t cry; they can only, eventually, die. And that can't happen until a lot of life has been lived and suffered.

declamotion of know

And the hoax goes on by Drew Hinderer

What a great thing. Paul Mc-Car tney is dead. The story goes like this: a f t e r a part icularly un-p r o d u c t i v e r ecord ing session plagued by group hassles and grousing, Paul, miserable and de-pressed, c l imbed in to his Aston-Martin and screamed away in to the rain and gloom. Fou r hour s later, he was found pinned under his over- turned car, head sheared f rom his body , by some cruising pol icemen.

A HASTY CONFERENCE was called in which it was decided with some reservations that this news should be kep t f rom the public. Realizing, however, that Paul 's death could no t be kept secret forever , J o h n Lennon and the Beatles ' manager George Mar-tin, decided that a subs t i tu te " P a u l " would be found , and by means of plastic surgery and voice lessons, he would be made so nearly identical to the dead Mc-Car tney that no one would find ou t about the subs t i tu t ion .

It was also de te rmined that this in fo rma t ion would be slowly leaked to the general public by means of clever h in ts d ropped within songs and album covers. Thus we now k n o w about Paul 's demise by reference to songs a b o u t W a l r u s e s (Greek for Corpse), and words "Paul ' s d e a d " which can be heard if "I am the Walrus" is played backwards at a low speed, and by album covers fea tur ing grave scenes and corpses and a picture of Paul's a rm on

which is let tered OPD (officially p ronounced dead).

IT IS A WONDERFULLY hear tening thing t o learn that good hoaxes are still being per-pe t ra ted . Af ter Orson Welles' magnif icent War of the Worlds masterpiece, I would certainly guess that this newest joke might inspire such panic and fear that it, too , might rank as one of the greatest. Still, i t 's t oo bad that we are so callous and condi t ioned that we do not not ice the lesser hoaxes played on us every day. Some of these are so good that it seems a shame not to point them up.

Contrary to popular belief, for example , our professors are not the stodgy old fogies we o f t e n see them as; indeed many of them successfully pull off daily hoaxes. Old faded and rumpled notes dat ing back to the late 50 's and early 60 's are still being used by these men as the basis for theii classroom presentat ions and most successfully fool typical unaler t s tudents in to believing that these notes are as up-to-date and excit-ing as possible. Indeed, one such person has actually passed off the mere recopying of his ancient n o t e s by a secretary as a " thorough-going revamping" of the course.

NOT ONLY ARE the profes-sors maligned as serious old schol-ars, but by in large, the Adminis-t ra t ion is i s o though t of as p re t ty s tu f fy and straight-forward. Not so! Our Administrat ion is one of the greatest bunch of jokers

around. In fac t , nearly every en-counter I have had or heard about has borne out the jocular nature of Van Raalte hall.

A great example of this humor can be experienced by anyone trying to bring a complaint to someone he considers to be the appropr ia te man. Like fools, most of us actually believe that on any specific issue, one man in our a d m i n i s t r a t i o n is responsible. Again a hoax! And I would guess that the main reason it has not been exposed before is that most of its victims die of fat igue a f t e r running f rom off ice to off ice for hours on end.

STILL, IN MY view the great-est hoax of all is not any of these, or even the " foo tba l l t e a m " . For years now we have been laboring under the illusion that there would eventually be a s tudent center , fools that we are. This idea is totally false. There is never going to be a s tudent center. It has all been a cleverly instigated hoax on the part of the Adminis-trat ion and various o ther " f r i ends of the College" to ease pressure and create the illusion that the College is actually run for the students, and that s tudent wishes play a part in the fo rmat ion of College goals and policy.

Such are a few of the daily hoaxes played on the s tuden t body. I 'm sure tha t there are countless others , equally humor-ous, that you can expose and laugh at . At least, maybe you can laugh at t hem in a pa the t ic sort of way.

Booters' weak offense hurts Dutch in losses

HAND OFF-Quarterback Groy Kaper hands off to halfback Bob Haveman during Hope's 24-22 Homecoming win over Olivet College. Haveman was Hope's leading rusher with a total of 104 yards in 30 attempts.

First win of season

Dutchmen edge Comets, 24-22 by Pete Struck

anchor Reporter

Hope College won its first foot-ball game of the season last Satur-day as the Du tchmen celebrated Homecoming by edgmg the Olivet Comets , 24-22, in a Michigan Intercollegiate Athlet ic Associa-tion contes t before more than 3,000 delighted Riverview Park fans.

THE VICTORY lifted the Dutch out of the MIAA cellar and gave them a 1-4-1 season record. Olivet slipped to 1-5.

Chances are the Comet defense will be taking a few lessons on halfback op t ion plays this week. That play was chiefly responsible for the Hope victory.

It was a 64-yard scoring pass f rom halfback Harry R u m o h r to flanker Rich Frank early in the four th quar ter that kept the Comets out of str iking distance. Rumohr execu ted the play suc-cessfully three t imes in the game.

Q U A R T E R B A C K G R O Y Kaper entered the contest as the leading passer in the MIAA, but he was l imited t o just four com-pletions in 17 tries for 41 yards.

Ironically, the man who passed Kaper as the league's leading passer was Comet quar te rback Eric Witzke, who didn ' t seem to be bothered by the s trong winds as he comple ted 13 of 25 aerials for 121 yards.

S o p h o m o r e kicker Mike Hinga provided Hope with its eventual winning points in the first two

to meet Albion

in football Sat. As of today there is only one

undefea ted college footbal l team in all of Michigan. That team is the Albion College Britons, the team which the Hope College Flying D u t c h m e n will face tomor-row at Albion.

Albion achieved its s ta tus last Saturday when they upset the Alma Scots, 7-3, in Alma's home-coming game. The victory moved Albion's record to 5-0, while the Scots are now even at 3-3.

All of the scoring in that game was done in the fou r th quar ter . Alma took a 3-0 lead on a John Fuzak field goal, but the Britons came right back with the winning score when ha l fback Jim Bell plunged one yard for a touch-down.

The loss also knocked Alma out of first place in the Michigan Intercollegiate Athlet ic Associa-t ion in to a tie with Kalamazoo for second place. Albion now resides alone in first with a 2-0 record.

T o m o r r o w the Hope College Flying D u t c h m e n will challenge the Bri tons. It is d o u b t f u l the Dutch will be able to pick up their second win of the season be fo re nex t week when they play the last place Adrian Bulldogs.

HOPE WENT A H E A D 11-0 when R u m o h r charged 26 yards for a t o u c h d o w n to climax an 86-yard drive. Kaper hit Frank in the end zone with a two point conversion pass.

Linebacker Bill Ash put Olivet o n t h e s c o r e b o a r d midway through the second per iod when he picked off a stray Kaper pass and ran 54-yards for the score. Witzke executed a perfect ext ra point fake and picked up the two point conversion on a pass to end Kurt Chubner .

Hope took Olivet 's k ickoff on their own 20 and with the help of two 15-yard penalt ies and a pass in terference call in the end zone, marched 80 yards to make the score 17-8 at ha l f t ime.

O L I V E T TRIMMED the mar-gin to 17-15 when ful lback Gary Cummings raced a round right end 16 yards. The play ended a 69-yard drive. Hal Hooks ' extra point a t t emp t was good.

WITH 2 :52 R E M A I N I N G , the Comets tried an on-side kick, but H o p e f reshman Dana Snoap covered the ball on the Dutch 47-yard line, and Kaper kep t the ball on the ground to run out the clock.

Hope ended the game with a total o f fense of 341 yards to 201 yards by the Comets . Fullback Bob Haveman led the Dutch run-ning a t tack with 104 yards in 30 carries.

Cummings gained 118 yards in 32 carries fo r Olivet, but losses by his t e a m m a t e s lef t t he Comets with only 80 net yards on the ground.

PENALTIES ALSO hurt the Comets as they had 86 yards walked off against them compared to only 40 yards against the Du tchmen .

Hope and Olivet are now tied in the MIAA standings with iden-tical 1-2 records.

T h e breaks were not with Hope ' s soccer team this past week as the Dutch lost two well-played games. They d ropped their Home-coming contes t with Wheaton , 2-0, and Wednesday the Dutch fell victim to Calvin in doub le over-t ime, 2-1.

In Sa turday ' s contes t , Hope blanked a s trong Wheaton team th rough the first half . Early in the third quarter Paul Avila, a po ten-tial AU-American, boo ted a pen-alty kick past J o h n Debrecini for the first score. Later in the third quar ter , Wheaton added ano the r goal. Wheaton had more than twice as many shots on goal as the Du tchmen .

This lack of a po ten t o f fense has been the main problem all season for the Dutch . It is mainly Hope ' s s t rong defense tha t has kept the scores f r o m gett ing t oo one-sided. This was again apparen t in Wednesday 's contes t with Cal-vin.

There was no scoring unti l early in the f o u r t h quar te r when Calvin scored the go-ahead goal on a direct k ick. Hope rallied abou t ha l fway th rough the final quar te r as Jim Hoekstra evened the score. The game con t inued scoreless through the first five minu te over-t ime. Then with just 30 seconds left in the second over t ime, Joe Weaver scored the winning goal for the Calvin Knights. Again

Debrecini suffered more shots on goal than did the opposi t ion 's goalie.

T o m o r r o w Hope will try to improve its 2-6 overall record as the Dutch take on Kalamazoo in non- league compet i t ion . Hope closes its season Oct . 31 at Lake Fores t , Illinois.

Distance runners lose a squeaker

to Olivet, 28-27 The Hope College cross coun-

try t eam was narrowly defeated in last Sa tu rday ' s dual meet with Olivet, 28-27.

This loss leaves the Dutch with a 1-3 league record and makes it impossible for the harriers to break even fo r the season.

Mike Cronan of Olivet broke the t ape with a t ime of 21:20. John Mart in, also of Olivet, finish-ed second. Bruce Geelhoed, con-t inuing his improved running, finished first for the Dutch and third in the meet.

G e n e H a u l e n b e e k finished f o u r t h a full 12 seconds behind Geelhoed . Brian Clax ton , Bob Scot t and Jim Mattison rounded out Hope ' s top five with sixth, seventh and eighth place finishes respect ively.

For the en te r t a inmen t of the readers of our sports page, I have provided this week a series of puzzling quest ions, most of them having to do with Hope College footbal l .

SOME OF THESE quest ions undoub ted ly will baff le even the greatest minds on campus. All are designed t o make Hope sports fans the deepest th inking athlet ic suppor ters in the league.

Incidental ly , this could become a regular fea ture of this co lumn. It all depends on what kind of re-sponse I get t o these ques t ions . Excit ing prizes will be awarded for the best answers. Prizes in-clude an all-expenses-paid tr ip to Skiles to wa tch J o h n n y Carson and an au then t i c tape-recording of a Rick London footba l l broadcast .

SOME LUCKY winner will cop the grand p r i z e - a three-day cruise aboard Infinity Hope to the sou thern end of Lake Michigan to see oil slicks, dead alewives and billowy clouds of pol lu t ion .

But let 's get on with the ques-tions.

1) My first quest ion, a two-part query, deals with Hope de-fensive back Carleton Golder . People who k n o w what ' s going on in Hope College sports tell me that Carleton is p robably the fastest man on campus. To me, that indicates that there is a good

chance tha t he could be the fastest man on Hope ' s foo tba l l team. What I want to know is: (a) Why isn't Car le ton used as a deep man on kick-off and p u n t re turns? and (b) why hasn' t he been used more in the offensive backfield? Personally, I t hough t he looked p re t ty good in the Olivet game Saturday.

2) QUESTION TWO deals with the subject of kick-off re-turns . If y o u go to Hope footbal l games, you ' l l not ice that the Hope man who catches the ball on the kick-off immedia te ly heads for the middle of the field and usually gets piled up at about the 25-yard line.

Statistics show that the longest kick-off re tu rn by a Hope player this fall was a 27-yarder by Rich Frank. Second on the list was a 22-yard re tu rn by Harry R u m o h r . My quest ion is this: Why no t , as a "change of pace , " use some kind of a " c h u t e " - t y p e re turn play and have the deep man re tu rn the ball down the sideline?

3) THIS QUESTION is direc-ted mainly towards psychology

majors and other exper t s on crowd behavior. Why is it that fans at Hope footbal l games do not s tand up for kick-offs? This one has been bother ing me for a long, long t ime and I haven ' t yet been able to come up with a reasonable answer.

4) The fou r th and final ques-t ion is s i m p l y - W h a t ' s wrong with my Bears?

Send your answers to: R o o m 206, Emmie House. A FINAL W O R D -

H o p e ' s o f f e n s e pe r fo rmed fairly well last week in the victory over Olivet. Bob Haveman, a fine running back, turned in ano the r good game, breaking th rough for some long gainers. R u m o h r and Golder also had some nice runs. R u m o h r teamed up with Frank on some key halfback passes, one of which went for six points . The defense played a fair game with Tom Thomas and Dave Johnson coming up with big intercept ions .

Can the Du tchmen keep the m o m e n t u m going and upset league-leading Albion tomor row? With a few breaks and a lot of de te rmina t ion , it can be done.
