Trustees has a p p r o v e d a tuition increase of $ 2 0 0 beg inn ing with the school year 1969-70, an-nounced Clarence Hand log ten , T r e a s u r e r and Director of Busi-ness Affairs, in a letter to pa ren t s of Hope students, da ted Nov. 1.

"INFLATION H A S COMEu{> on us in s t a g g e r i n g p r o p o r t i o n s , " said Mr. h a n d l o g t e n ' s letter. " T h i s fact coupled with our need to strive for new u n d e r s t a n d i n g of new p rob lems h a s placed on us a f inancia l d e m a n d that exceeds our present revenues . "

The present tuition ra te is $1,250 per year , a n d the total cost of tuition, r o o m and b o a r d is $2 ,150 . The increase will b r i n g tuit ion to $ 1 , 4 5 0 per year a n d the tuit ion, r o o m and b o a r d total to $ 2 , 3 5 0 .

T H E BASIC COST of a H o p e College educa t ion h a s risen $ 6 0 0 in fou r years . This new increase is the fou r th in four years . The cost of r o o m and b o a r d was in-creased by $ 1 0 0 at the b e g i n n i n g of 1966. Tui t ion was increased by $ 1 0 0 at the beg inn ing of the 1967 school yea r and $ 2 0 0 at the be-g inn ing of this year.

" T h e r e real ly was n o other de-cision we could live with," sa id President Ca lv in A. VanderWerf . " I regret that this has been neces-s a ry . Respons ib ly , I don ' t th ink there is a n y other decision the B o a r d could have m a d e . "

The President sa id that the B o a r d a p p r o v e d a total increase of $ 2 0 0 in college fees and left it to the Admin i s t ra t ion to decide how the increase would bed iv ided a m o n g r o o m , b o a r d and tuit ion.

President VanderWerf said that the Admin i s t ra t ion decided to

m a k e the total increase in the f o r m of tuit ion because it felt that was the " f a i r e s t " method .

MR. H A N D L O G T E N ' S letter a n n o u n c e d that the Boa rd h a s " a p p r o v e d a subs tan t i a l increase in aid to s tudents eligible for assis-tance ."

"We trust that n o student will be denied the excellent educa t ion Hope College a f fo rds because of lack of f u n d s , " the letter fu r the r stated.

"IT IS NOT a pleasant task to m a k e this a n n o u n c e m e n t but we d o so without a p o l o g y be-cause we know of no institution where m o r e is achieved with an educa t iona l d o l l a r , " the letter con-tinued.

Hope h a s a l w a y s ranked f avor -ab ly with other l iberal ar ts insti-tut ions in tuition, r o o m and b o a r d costs. President VanderWerf point-ed out.

IVofessor B a r n a r d , son of a Dutch Reformed minister, was born in South Africa and ea rned his M.D. f rom the Universi ty of Cape T o w n Medical School in 1953.

After se rv ing on the staff of that insti tution as a research fellow in s u r g e r y for two years , he c a m e to the United States and entered the Univers i ty of Minnesota Medi-cal School . He received his Ph.D. in 1957.

But his at tent ion soon turned to the field of hear t surgery , which was just open ing u p at the time. The Univers i ty of Minnesota Medical School was a leader in the deve lopmen t of the field, and Professor B a r n a r d per formed his first hear t ope ra t ion while at Min-nesota .

MOST OF HIS work , however , centered on m a j o r hear t su rge ry , pa r t i cu l a r ly the replacement of diseased hear t va lves .

The Student Senate at its meet-ing Wednesday night passed mo-tions concern ing the p roposed de-pa r tmen t of interdisciplinary studies, c a m p u s lighting, the Mo-tet Choi r and senior hous ing , and heard p r o p o s a l s concerning en-t rance to the Hol land Communi -ty Pool and the publication of the College cata log.

The first motion recommended that " s tuden ts of senior s t and ing b^ given the right to choose whether or not they wish to live in College hous ing . "

THIS WAS C H A N G E D f rom the o r ig ina l motion proposed last week, which requested this right for men only.

Tim Liggett, who draf ted the mot ion, noted that there are p lans to increase the enrol lment of the College, but that there are no dormi to r i es being planned. Off-c a m p u s hous ing must be per-mitted to avoid overcrowding, he said.

Liggett also said that the Col-

lege should give more responsi-bility to seniors. The mot ion was passed u n a n i m o u s l y .

AL PEDERSEN withdrew a mo-tion he p roposed last week, which asked that the College create a depar tment of interdiscipl inary studies. It was noted that the Aca-demic Affairs Boa rd is a l r eady in the process of cons ider ing such a step.

He reworded the p roposa l to suggest " t ha t the Student Senate give Dean for Academic Affairs Morrette Rider its a p p r o v a l and suppor t in relat ion to the establish-ment of a depar tment of inter-discipl inary s tudies ." This was passed.

Wayne Vander Byl b rough t f rom the table his motion u rg ing that " the Student Senate request the Curr icu lum Commit tee of the Academic Affairs B o a r d to investi-gate the recent deletion of the Mo-tet Choir f rom thecur r icu lum, and make r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s concern-ing its reinstatement in the curri-cu lum."

This mot ion was also passed unan imous ly .

A N O T H E R MOTION ap-

proved by the Senate requested that " the main tenance depar tment be requested to ad jus t the ou tdoor l ights on c a m p u s so that they come on at dusk and do not g o off until one-half h o u r after women ' s c los ing."

These fou r mot ions had been introduced last week and tabled to give Sena to r s time to discuss them with their constituents.

T w o addi t iona l mot ions were introduced and will be discussed by the Senate next week.

A PROPOSAL by Rolina Ver-meer stated that , " rea l iz ing that f reshmen are relatively unfami l i a r with the cur r icu lum and v a r i o u s other funct ions of the College, be it resolved that the proper per-sons be requested to distr ibute the College ca ta log earl ier so that f reshmen can plan courses more intelligently."

Vicki Detlefs moved, " rea l iz ing that there is a d i s tu rb ing lack of recreat ional facilities at Hope. . . that a p p r o p r i a t e measures be taken to p rov ide for ID card ad-miss ion to the Hol land C o m m u n -ity Pool at least one night a week and more if possible ."

The Convention System:An Assessment In urder 10 assess the merits

of the convent ion system one must view the convent ion as hav-ing taken place on two levels: that of the pa r ty device and that of a representat ive nomina t i ng device.

T H E C O N V E N T I O N system presents its most mer i tor ious as-pects as a pa r ty device. It a l lows for the meeting of a la rge n u m b e r of pa r ty workers and suppor ters .

It serves as a g r and io se political ra l ly and provides great public exposure for the pa r ty .

The convent ion system fur the r serves as a pa r ty device in that it allows for the conf ron ta t ion of oppos ing par ty factions. The v a r i o u s interests within the pa r ty are espoused and at tempts at re-conciliation can be m a d e t h rough par ty machinery .

(weakened the nomina t ing function of the convent ion system.

The convent ion system fur ther p e r f o r m s its funct ions as a par ty device in that in a sense it preserves the identity of the pa r ty itself. If the convent ion system were abol i shed or radical ly reformed, the result ing political parties would be substant ia l ly weakened because of the decreased impor-tance of par ty machinery .

T H U S , IN A left-handed man-ner the convention system pre-serves the strength of the parties and helps to ma in ta in the two-pa r ty system.

The system must a l so be con-sidered in relation to its role as a representa t ive nomina t ing de-vice. T o be adequate ly representa-tive of the nat ion, the convention must be a microcosm of the elec-torate. This would p romote one of the goa l s of the convent ion system: appeal to a la rge seg-ment of the populace.

IF T H E C O N V E N T I O N is r e presentat ive of m a n y and var ied interests within the electorate, it has a b r o a d e r base of appeal and can speak to and for more of the people.

The television era h a s drasti-cally altered the requirements of the convent ion system. The con-vent ion can now be car r ied into mil l ions of homes a n d the pa r ty must satisfy its customers . This is a fac tor in p r o m o t i n g the care-fully staged theatr ics which gove rn convent ion proceedings and a l so in the overt at tempt to avo id pa r ty d i s h a r m o n y .

T H E PEOPLE ARE now aware of the need for a n o m i n a t i n g de-vice which is representat ive of the na t ion .

sented p ropor t iona te ly to the electorate. Youth, a great poli-tical force in 1968, was not given a voice in this convent ion.

IT WAS T H E unrepresenta t ive nature of the convent ion as a whole which led to the great frus-trat ion felt by the N e g r o and the youth with the decision of the convention. The Republ ican par ty has pract ical ly kissed off the Negro vote and is well a w a r e of the fact. Political su rv iva l is m a d e a little more difficult with the alienation of such a l a rge g r o u p .

Another unrepresenta t ive aspect of this convent ion was the power wielded b y the South. The South, weakest a rea of the Republ ican par ty geograph ica l ly , led by Sen. Strom T h u r m o n d , wielded an un-propor t iona te voice. They exer-cised what amoun ted to a " v e t o " of the Vice Presidential selection.

IN ORDER TO be an effective nomina t ing device, the convent ion must exhibit the abili ty to m a k e decisions and present a t rue

choice. The convent ion must not merely act out designated roles but must actively perform.

The present convent ion system does not p rov ide for the m a k i n g of real decisions. Delegates are often b o u n d to one thing or ano ther and , therefore, act mere-ly as a rubber s tamp.

REALITY OF convent ion choice is a myth in relat ion to Vice Presidential selection. The fact that, t radi t ional ly , the Resi -dential nominee selects his r u n n i n g mate fur ther weakens the n o m i n a t i n g funct ion of the con-vention system.

Another cons idera t ion which is necessary for the effective func-t ioning of the convent ion as a nomina t i ng device is the effective conduct of business.

HERE, AGAIN, THE s t ag ing and theatrics a re vital to the conduct of the convention. They are necessary if so unwieldy a b o d y is ever to get moving .

At the Republican convent ion these p rov i s ions proved inade-quate . The wasted time, excessive f a n f a r e and endless n o m i n a t i o n s detract f rom, ra ther t h a n promote , the political ra l ly function of the convent ion. Fur ther , people be-come impatient with all the f a n f a r e and often become dis-enchanted with the pa r ty hoop la .

T H E C O N V E N T I O N system seems to adequate ly fulfill its role as a pa r ty device and surely s t rengthens the two-party system. However , this system is inade-qua te as a representat ive nomin-at ing device and as such weakens the democra t i c process.

It is necessary for the conven-tion to fulfill both of these func-tions and a n y suggest ion for re-form must addres s itself t oward i m p r o v i n g the representat ive as-pect of the system while preserv ing the pa r ty funct ions.

There are 1 1 classes of d rugs , including alcohol , caffeine, nico-tine, narcotics and sedatives. In-cluded in this list are d r u g s which are accepted b y most people as par t of e v e r y d a y life. N o one stif-

B U T WHEN one speaks of m a r i j u a n a or s t ronger narcotics, there sudden ly is a reaction.

the treatment of depression, ten-sion, sexual maladjustment and narcotic addiction.

In addi t ion, the potentiali ty for psychological dependence upon alcohol is high, but only mode ra t e with m a r i j u a n a . There is a lso a great chance that ever- increasing dosages of alcohol will be needed by the user, while the chance of an increasing need for m a r i j u a n a is not as great .

ALTHOUGH SOCIETY p r e scribes the min imum age at which one may legally dr ink , there are no other restrictions on the con-sumpt ion of alcohol. The use and sale of m a r i j u a n a , on the other h a n d , a re severely punished. But the effects of alcohol seem to be more d a n g e r o u s than the effects of m a r i j u a n a .

A recent s tory in the K a l a m a z o o College student newspaper , the " I n d e x , " stated that, while the excessive use of m a r i j u a n a is dan-gerous, " u n q u e s t i o n a b l y mari-j u a n a and alcohol serve much the same purpose . It is therefore hypo-critical a n d self-r ighteous to a degree only middle class America can cons tant ly ma in ta in to b r a n d (he m a r i j u a n a user as an evil menace to society who should be put behind b a r s .

Review of the News By H a r o l d K a m m

New York One of the most hotly con-

tested Presidential elections of the twentieth century came to an end this week and Richard M. Nixon h a s unofficially been de-signated President-elect.

The election of fo rmer Vice President Nixon is t he f i r s t t ime in this century that a presi-dential candida te , once de-feated, h a s come back victor-ious.

The Republ ican candida te captured 287 electoral votes, including the impor tan t states of Ca l i fo rn ia , Illinois, Ohio and New Jersey, as well as c a r r y i n g every state west of Texas ex-cept Washington. Vice President Hubert H u m p h r e y carr ied the vote-rich states of New York, Pennsy lvan ia , Michigan and Texas. He won a total of 166 electoral votes.

Amer ican Independent Party candida te George Wallace failed to cap tu re a n y states out-side of the deep south as he r e ceived 4 5 electoral votes.

The p o p u l a r vote tally, how-ever, was cons iderab ly closer than the electoral vote, as Pres-ident-elect Nixon received 29.

73 million votes for 4 3 per-cent of the total . Vice Resident H u m p h r e y received 2 9 . 6 8 mil-lion votes—also 4 3 percent of the total , and former Gov. George Wallace received 9 .29 million votes for 13 percent of the na t iona l total.

Republ icans whittled down, but failed to overcome, the Dem-ocra ts ' subs tan t ia l lead in the U.S. Senate.

B a r r y Goldwater of Arizona, Henry Bellmon of Ok lahoma , Richard Schweiker of Pennsyl-v a n i a , Char les Mathias of M a r y l a n d , Edward Gurney of F lo r ida , William S a x b e o f O h i o and Robert Packman of Ore-gon defeated their Democrat ic opponents for seats previously

held by Democrats . Democra ts Alan Crans ton of Cal i forn ia and H a r o l d Hughes of Iowa defeated their Republican op-ponents for seats previous ly held by Republicans. The Re-

publ icans thus had a net ga in of five seats, and the l i n e u p of U.S. Senators will be 58 Dem-ocra ts to 42 Republicans.

In the House of Representa-tives, Republ icans and Demo-crats remained in essentially the s ame si tuat ion as the 90th Congress , with the Republicans g a i n i n g a total of four seats.

The new House will have 244 Democra ts to 191 Republicans.

Republ icans cont inued to show g a i n s in the state houses as they wrested at least six g o v e r n o r s h i p s f r o m the Dem-ocrats to roll up the largest state house ma jo r i ty for the par ty in 14 years . The new lineup will be 31 Republ icans to 19 Democrats .

Washington, D.C. In the final d a y s of the elec-

tion c a m p a i g n , at a point when the r u m o r s of a b o m b i n g halt had begun to recede, President L y n d o n J o h n s o n ordered a total halt to U.S. air r a ids on Nor th Vietnam. The President a lso announced that the Sa igon government and the Vietcong would be b rough t into b road -ened a n d " in tens ive" peace talks in Paris that were to be-gin this past Wednesday.

United States and Hano i en-voys met secretly after South Vietnamese President Thieu an-nounced his g o v e r n m e n t ' s re-fusal to send representat ives to talks in Paris if the Vietcong par t ic ipate as a separa te politi-cal g r o u p . After their meeting it was announced that the ta lks were indefinitely pos tponed b e cause of Sa igon ' s refusal to part icipate.

DRUG INJECTION—A drug addict prepares to give himself an injection of an addictive drug.

1967 which stated, " m a r i j u a n a is taken by m a n y y o u n g people, and the great ma jo r i ty smoke reefers without escala t ing to her-oin or cocaine. Statements that they main ly g o on to heroin and cocaine are exaggera ted and give rise to misconcept ions ."

Although there are no direct addictive effects connected with the use of m a r i j u a n a , this does not exclude the possibil i ty that users will not move on to other drugs . This escalat ion, however, would seem to be due to associa t ion with with other d r u g users.

ANOTHER B U L L E T I N b y the World Health Organiza t ion states, " a b u s e of c a n n i b u s ( m a r i j u a n a ) facilitates the associa t ion with social g r o u p s and subcul tures in-volved with more d a n g e r o u s d r u g s such a s opiates a n d bar-bituates. T rans i t ion to the use of such d rugs would be the conse-quence of this associa t ion rather than an inherent effect of canni-bus. The h a r m to society derived f rom abuse of cann ibus rests in the economic consequences of the impairuiL-ni ot the ind iv idua l ' s so-cial funct ion and his enhanced proneness to asocial and anti-social b e h a v i o r . "

It becomes impor tan t to view the motives of the person who d e cides to experience these drugs , especially m a i j u a n a , in the light of what is known of their effects.

ACCORDING TO Dr. Kenneth Keniston, associate professor of psychia t ry at Yale Universi ty School of Medicine, there seems to be, in the eyes of some, a feeling that experiencing m a r i j u a n a will give s o m e m e a n i n g to life.

Dr. Keniston says, " f o r such is the cultism a n d p r o p a g a n d a that s u r r o u n d s d rugs , especially in the hal lucinogens, , that m a n y students have come to feel the states in-duced by these d rugs will auto-matical ly p roduce a revelation

of life's meaning , or at least an ex perience which itself will be high-ly significant and i l lumina t ing ."

Still others are looking for an escape route, said Dr. Keniston. They a re sea rch ing for some way to forget about the eve ryday prob-lems, and some find the answer in exper iment ing with drugs . But most young people who try d r u g s are a w a r e of what is involved, he said.

ACCORDING TODr . Keniston, "Student d r u g users are, as a g r o u p , extremely knowledgab le abou t the possible bad effects of d r u g use. . .They will argue— with cons iderab le validity—that society does not prohibit the use of other psychoact ive c o m p o u n d s (e.g., alcohol, tobacco) which in m a n y ways are fa r more impor t an t than m a n y of the hal-lucinogens or amphi tamines . . . It is a mat ter of how one chooses to live one's life, how one hopes to seek experience, where and how one searches fo r m e a n i n g . "

Dr. Keniston s ta tes , " I n t h e l o n g run, then, those of us who are critical of student d r u g abuse must demons t ra te to our s tudents that there are better and more last ing w a y s to experience the fullness, the depth, the var ie ty and the richness of life than that of ingesting psy-choact ive chemicals ."

O n T h ^ I n c r e a s e

ON E YEAR AGO, it was a n n o u n c e d that tuition for the present school yea r would be increased by $200 .

N o w the s a m e a n n o u n c e m e n t is m a d e con-

cern ing next year . For the second consecutive yea r , we will

voice o u r d i s a p p o i n t m e n t over the decision. A college educa t ion is difficult to f inance fo r

mos t s tuden t s at the present tuition level. The increase will cer ta inly m a k e this m o r e difficult fo r eve ryone , a n d imposs ib le for some. How m u c h this will affect the na tu re of H o p e ' s s tudent b o d y is uncer ta in , but that it will h a v e s o m e effect is a lmos t unde-

niable.

But, a g a i n we must add tha t we see

the necessity fo r the increase. Costs are in-c reas ing fo r the College a s well a s for its students. And in the era of s ta te-suppor ted colleges, the p r iva t e institution h a s a par -t icular ly difficult t a sk . T h e tuition at H o p e College is still at a r e a sonab l e level when c o m p a r e d to the costs at other insti tutions.

HOPE COLLEGE O F F E R S a un ique educa t ion which gives excellent pre-p a r a t i o n ol its s tudents a s s cho l a r s

and a s persons . For this, a price m u s t be pa id . In this l ight, an ex t ra $ 2 0 0 is not too

much to ask.

O n N i x o n ' s C h a l l e n g e

TH E V O T E S ARE near ly all tallied and the election of Richard N i x o n is a s su red . T h e Amer ican electorate

has chosen its next President b y one of the na r rowes t m a r g i n s in election h is tory , and dia t fact a lone ca r r i es much significance.

Mr. N i x o n will be a minor i ty President; he will enter the White H o u s e k n o w i n g that 5 7 percent of the Amer i can electorate pre-ferred ano the r cand ida te . He will h a v e to work with a congres s controlled b y the Democra t i c Par ty . These are especial ly b u r d e n s o m e in light of the mass ive na t iona l

p rob l ems f o r which President N i x o n must

begin to f ind solut ions. The election revealed that the Amer ican

people a r e very uncer ta in a b o u t the type of so lu t ion that the n a t i o n ' s p r o b l e m s de-m a n d . T h e N i x o n - H u m p h r e y vote showed tha t neither Presidential c a n d i d a t e had pro-g r a m s which could ea rn the solid s u p p o r t

of the vo ters . Sena tor ia l elections witnessed the vo te r s re tu rn ing some Vie tnam doves a n d defeat ing others . Indecision over the course to follow in the cities was vividly d e m o n s t r a t e d by the lands l ide election ol men a s d iamet r ica l ly opposed a s J a c o b j a y its and H e r m a n T a l m a d g e .

IN H I S I N D E C I S I O N , the Amer ican voter tended to follow the pat tern es-tabl i shed by p rev ious elections. Re-

ly ing heav i ly on t rad i t iona l p a r t y affili-

a t ion, the voter gave the nor theas t to the D e m o c r a t s , the midwest and west to the Repub l i cans , and the deep sou th to the

handies t r e a c t i o n a r y . Mr. N i x o n ' s vic tory was achieved

s imply by picking u p a lew t h o u s a n d more votes in key swing states than he was able

to d o in 1960 aga in s t J o h n K e n n e d y a n d by c a r r y i n g all the sou thern b o r d e r s tates with the aid of Spi ro Agnew. The election

could very eas i ly have gone the other way.

MR.' N I X O N ' S C H A L L E N G E is clear. In the next f o u r yea r s he mus t put an end to the w a r in

Vie tnam or face sure rejection in 1972.

P r o g r e s s in the cities mus t a l so be m a d e , p r o g r e s s ac ros s the wide spec t rum oi A m e r i c a n p rob lems .

Pe rhaps Mr. N i x o n will succeed in this

a d m i n i s t r a t i o n . Pe rhaps he will heal s o m e of the p r o b l e m s ol d isuni ty and discontent . P e r h a p s , despite his minor i ty election a n d an oppos i t ion congress , he can end s o m e of the doub t a n d indecision conce rn ing the course which o u r fore ign a n d domest ic policy should iol low.

We hope so. Amer ica c a n n o t indefi-nitely cont inue d a n g e r o u s l y divided on the w a r and the u r b a n crisis. We need a litde light in the g a t h e r i n g d a r k n e s s oi

this decade.

Readers Speak Out

Dear Editor . T o the Edi tor ,

One of the r ea sons that I chose Hope as my college was its complete lack of racism. I thought that , as a Chris t ian college, it would allow me to s tudy with-out all the stupid ran t ing and r a v i n g b y bigoted people that seems to be the ma in course on so m a n y campuses across our nat ion.

NOW I F I N D tha t I, too, a m being called a bigot, a racist and p r o b a b l y a lot of o ther things by people who, t h rough no faul t of their own, have a different co lo ra t ion of skin.

I have known Bob Blanton for over a year at Hope and have a l w a y s con-sidered him my friend. Now, because my skin is a few shades lighter, I a m being stereotyped by him as a racist. He wants me to look upon him as an equa l and I would apprecia te a like cons idera t ion b y him.

I D O N ' T LIVE on the c a m p u s , but I believe that I k n o w the genera l con-census of thought . I h a v e yet to hear any-thing b a d said abou t a n y of o u r black students. In fact, they are h a r d l y ever ment ioned, one w a y or the other. This does no t mean that they are being ig-nored, but s imply that there h a s been no reason ( in the pas t ) to discuss them.

I h a v e long felt that a lot of the racial ha t red , such as is now being generated by Bob Blanton, is being generated b y the b lack as well as the white. If there are a n y racia l d i s tu rbances on our cam-pus, they will be b r o u g h t on b y the very people who will be the first to scream discr iminat ion.

I WOULD L I K E to address this final statement to all the black people at Hope, and especially to Bob Blanton:

The white coalition can no longer face the fact that we are being discriminated against by our black brothers. Almost everything your race has asked for has been given to you because we, the whites, are ashamed before our God for the way you have been treated in the pas t But what is past is pas t I can not blame you

for feeling as you do, but a second mis-take will not correct the first one.

THE TIME IS NOW!!!! Face up to the fact that you are no better then we are! Face up to y o u r responsibili t ies as Chris-t ians and accept the f r i endsh ip and equal-ity that we offer. If you came to Hope for an educat ion, then get it! If you c a m e to jo in in race riots, then go elsewhere, be-cause we do not want to fight! I repeat— accept the f r iendsh ip and equal i ty that we offer. We, the whites, can not wait much longer for o u r equali ty. If you will r emove the hat red f r o m your hearts , you will find that we have none in ours. If you search long enough , you will find what you want to find. So what are you look ing fo r? Hat red or brother ly love?

Dear Editor: Last week's issue of the a n c h o r was a

little incredible. Between N o r m Ochelski 's letter to the edi tor and Dave Allen's " R e d Coa l i t ion" the white problem on this cam-pus was fa i r ly well summed up.

MR, O C H E L S K I SHOWS a m a z i n g bl indness or naivete—or p e r h a p s both in viewing the si tuat ion. " T h e r e is v i r tua l ly no b igo t ry on this c a m p u s by whites??" Even if there wasn' t any at Hope there 's m o r e than e n o u g h in Hol land to w a r r a n t the f o r m a t i o n of a Black Coali t ion.

Besides, why a re the whites so upset abou t the Black Coali t ion and the r e a s o n s for its f o r m a t i o n ? H a s it occurred to any-one that such an o rgan iza t ion could have b e g u n s imply with the aim of benefit ing its member s? Students seem bent on in-terpret ing the intent of the Coal i t ion as be ing m u c k r a k i n g and a n t a g o n i s m . All this wor ry on ly b r i n g s up the old quest ion of guil ty conscience.

MR. A L L E N ' S C O L U M N last week was in very b a d taste if it w a s supposed to be f u n n y . What is the s i tuat ion he feels the Black Coal i t ion is over-react ing to? I cer tainly hope he 's not referr ing to the

Bless You, Mrs. Robinson by Art Buchwald

In the movie " T h e G r a d u a t e , " the hero, Dustin Hof fman , is seduced b y a Mrs. Robinson. T h a n k s to a hit s o n g written and sung by Simon a n d Garfunkel , " M r s . R o b i n s o n " h a s now become part of Amer-ican folklore. I h a d n ' t realized the impact of the film or the s o n g until I started talk-ing the other d a y with a friend of mine whu happened to h a v e the s a m e name.

THIS MRS. ROBINSON, a middle-aged lady , sa id that because of " T h e G r a d u a t e " she's h a d a new lease on life.

" I didn ' t realize wha t was go ing on at f irst ," she said. " B u t then one day as 1 paid my bill at the g rocer ' s with a check, the y o u n g m a n behind the counter winked at me and started s inging, ' Jesus loves you more than you will know—wo, wo, wo.'

" A few d a y s later, as I was getting g a s for my car , I handed over my credit card and when the y o u n g m a n looked at it, he whistled and said, 'Where are you go ing tonight, Mrs. Robinson? '

"AT FIRST I was going to compla in to the m a n a g e r , but then 1 thought to my-i self, 'If I got two passes in one week, there must be someth ing more to this than I 'm aware of.'

" I discovered what was u p when m y teen-age son said, 'All the g u y s want to meet you, Mom. '

" 'What on ear th for? ' ; " H e just l aughed and said , ' H e a v e n

holds a place for those who pray—hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey. '

"I GOT MAD a n d said , 'S top this drive. What 's go ing on with you kids these days? '

" H e b r o u g h t down the Simon and Garfunkel record and said, ' coo coo ca-choo, Mrs. Robinson. ' "

Mrs. Robinson continued: "When I heard the record I was flab-

bergasted, and when I went to see the movie ' T h e Gradua t e , ' 1 was d u m b f o u n d -ed. I wondered how m a n y Mrs. Robin-sons were being defamed because of one Mrs. Robinson who had gone a s t r a y . "

"WHAT C O U L D YOU do about it without c h a n g i n g your n a m e ? " I said.

" I gave it some thought and 1 de-cided the worst thing to do was fight it. So now when the grocery boy winks at me, I wink back; and when the gas sta-tion at tendant s t a r t s getting fresh, I just start s inging, 'Where h a v e you gone Joe DiMaggio, a na t ion turns its lonely eyes on you, ooo, ooo, ooo. ' "

"What about y o u r s o n ' s f r iends?" "THEY'RE A R O U N D THE house all

the time. Before the film came out they never talked to me. Now they invite me to jo in all their conversa t ions , and they a re interested in every th ing I have to s a y . "

"What does Mr. Robinson have to s a y about all this?"

" T h a t ' s the a m a z i n g thing. With all this h u b b u b go ing on with the kids, he 's sud-denly taken a new interest in me, and for the first time in 10 yea r s he's jea lous . Every time someone sings, 'Put it in your pan t ry with your cupcakes . It 's a little secret—the Robinsons ' ' a f fa i r , ' he seethes with rage. It's nice still to be wanted when your kids are in high schoo l . "

"I GUESS IN the l ong run, then, this has been a good year for the Mrs. Rob-insons of this wor ld . "

"Le t ' s s ay it was a bonus that none of us expected. God bless you please, S imon and Gar funke l . "

As 1 shook h a n d s with her an a m a z i n g thing happened . F o r the first time I noticed that Mrs. Robinson looked very at tractive, almost , I might s ay , beaut iful .

"WELL, GOODBY," she said in a lovely, lilting voice.

Somehow the magic had worked. As I walked away , 1 started singing, " W h a t ' s that you say , Mrs. Robinson? Jolt in ' Joe has left and g o n e away . Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey . "

Fitzgerald Story Is a Search for Self-Identity Editor's Note: The review this week is written by sophomore theater major Ken Kulhawy, who reviews Zelda Fitzgerald's "Save Me the Waltz."

By Ken Kulhawy

" S a v e Me the Waltz" is an auto-b i o g r a p h i c a l account of the life of Zelda Fi tzgera ld , wife of the novelist F . Scott Fi tzgerald. It was written in six weeks while Ze lda was confined in a s ana -to r ium, and is in a sense a search for a self-identity beyond merely that of a f a m o u s novelist 's wife.

BY WHA1 CRITERIA a r e we to eva lua te this a u t o b i o g r a p h y ? Because almost everything hap-pened just as Ze lda wrote it, it is of pr ime impor tance that the reader unde r s t and Zelda Fitz-ge ra ld ' s b a c k g r o u n d — h e r South-ern genteel upb r ing ing and her whirlwind m a r r i a g e to F. Scott Fi tzgera ld .

Ze lda ' s father raised her as a Southern gent lewoman, the type over whom h a n d s o m e beaux should fight duels. Scott Fitz-gera ld was a d a s h i n g Army lieu-tenant when she met him and first loved him, but in the t rad i t ional manne r would not m a r r y him until he h a d a secure posit ion.

THEY WERE MARRIED a mon th after his first novel was published. Their high style of liv-ing following his ear ly success epitomized the Twenties; Scott liked to call it " T h e Jazz Age."

Ze lda posed for the F l a p p e r por t ra i t s in his stories that com-m a n d e d the shor t fiction marke t , and they often sough t an adven-ture together s imply for the sake of a s tory. Yet the fantas t ic speed with which they lived denied them a secure famil ia l basis .

HOTELS, SUITCASES and Prohibit ion parties were wonder-ful , but there was practical ly noth ing else. The f inancia l fai lure of " T h e Great G a t s b y " d rove them to Eu rope for an extended s tay, and a heightening of their pace.

But travel and tension had its effect. Their nerves were f r ayed , as Zelda recounts her experiences, and she even drifted into a care-less affair with a French av ia to r ,

more to spite Scott t han any th ing else. Ze lda realized later that she and her h u s b a n d had never rea-lized what care for one another could mean .

T H E N CAME T H E ballet. Zelda desperately needed an escape f r o m the fu r ious pace of life with Fi tzgera ld , and danc ing seemed the way. Al though she was a w a r e that at her advanced age she could never a m o u n t to much, she nevertheless at tacked ballet with a pass ion .

As she recollected later, she " d r u g g e d herself with work. Her life outside was like t ry ing to re-member in the m o r n i n g a d r e a m f r o m the night before . "

THEIR MARRIAGE, if it had been any th ing before, now became not d i sas t rous , but s imply non-ex istant. While Scott wrote, Ze lda would practice at the studio, and when she came home to sleep, Scott would either be enter ta ining a friend, p lay ing alone with their daugh te r , d r u n k , or writing again .

If you don ' t believe that there is nothing new under the sun, read this excerpt f r o m the Stu-dent H a n d b o o k for H a r v a r d Universi ty for the year 1629: " F o r a s m u c h as the wear ing of long hai r , after the m a n n e r of uncouth ruf f ians and b a r b a r -ians, h a s begun to invade our coun t ry , c o n t r a r y to God ' s word which states that it is a s h a m e for a m a n to wear long hai r , and is c o n t r a r y to the general cus tom of our people, we the Magis t ra tes d o declare our dislike aga ins t the wear ing of such long ha i r as a th ing un-civil and u n m a n l y , whereby men d o deform themselves, and d o offend good men and cor-rupt g o o d m a n n e r s . "

gonis in a n d bitterness in their conversa t ion : ' " Y o u ' r e so thin, ' sa id David (Scott) pat roniz ingly . 'The re ' s n o use kill ing yourself. I hope you realize tnai ine big-gest difference in the world is be-tween the ama teu r and the pro-fessional in the ar ts . ' 'You might mean yourself and me- , ' she said though t fu l ly . " The synthetic exis-tence could not cont inue indefin-itely.

IN 1930 Z E L D A h a d a ne rvous b r e a k d o w n , but in her account of her life she gives little atten-tion to this event; it is obv ious she wanted to avoid the p<|hi of it. The end ing of the book , which reveals Scott and her as little more than distant relations, was not p lanned when the writing be-gan ; it centers on the death of Ze lda ' s fa ther , who died only dur-ing the writ ing of the or iginal draf t .

and died there in a fire in 1948. She was bur ied near Scott, who had died earlier. She h a s left us " S a v e Me the Waltz" as her testi-mony .

Zelda, so accustomed to being the center of attention, had been forced to sit on the side as her f a m o u s h u s b a n d drew the ap-olause.

A MINOR ROLE was some-thing foreign to her, and at every occasion she sought to ups tage the principal. Zelda could at least sha re with Scott their e x t r a v a g a n t l iving and their child. Bu t t heh igh living outlived the money, and the child leaned towards Scott 's na tu ra l warmth , and Zelda aga in was left with nothing.

" S a v e Me the Waltz" is, in sum, not a very good book. It is diffi-cult to read, the prose is choppy and thoughts a re left incomplete.

B U T IT DOES live, and it gives us a sensitive account of a person we want to believe in. But then, Zelda revealed na tura l grace in near ly everything she did. Just ask Scott.

Black Power By Bob Blanton

Black Power describes how, why and in what manne r black people must get themselves to-gether in America. A count ry which h a p p e n s to be the l and of the " f r e e " and h o m e of the " b r a v e " is not the America black people have known. Black Power is go ing to free the black m a n f rom white subjection.

In fact, Black Power is a chal-lenge to the white racist society today . The time h a s come for the black communi ty to redefine itself, set forth new goa l s and organize a r o u n d them.

T H E R E IS a great misunder-s tanding about the concepts of Black Power today . A prime rea-son for this lack of unders tand-ing is the white m a s s media which interprets Black Power for white people, and usua l ly interprets it incorrectly. Because of this ap-proach m a n y whites feel that Black Power is b lack supremacy , racist and a call for% black sepa-ra t ion.

Black people are not racist. Their hate is a product of white racism. Black Power does not call for sepa ra t ion s imply because black people are a l r eady sepa-rated and are herded into the slums. The reason Black Power has come is not to promote black s u p r e m a c y but to put down white supremacy .

Here are some typical views on how the white looks at Black Power:

" B l a c k Power conta ins s loppy ana lys i s and fails to pursue any line of r eason ing t h rough to its consequences ."

" B l a c k Power con ta ins no polit-ical ideas that are applicable. In fact it con ta ins very few political

ideas at al l ." T H E S E COMMENTS a re in an

article written b y Chr is topher Lasch entitled " T H E T R O U B L E W I T H BLACK P O W E R " After

r ead ing the article I thought of writ ing a n article myself entitled " T H E T R O U B L E WITH C H R I S T O P H E R L A S C H . "

White people on c a m p u s give different views but are just as confused:

"All Black Power does is alienate white people towards you and your movement . "

"B lack Power is a no-win poli-cy. I think that it encourages the growth of an t i -Negro forces ."

Black Power does not escape criticism from so-called Negro leaders either. F o r example , A. Phillip Rando lph , an elder states-m a n of the civil r ights movement , wrote in a syndicated co lumn, "B lack Power is a menace to racial peace a n d prosperi ty. N o N e g r o who is f ighting for civil r ights can suppor t Black Power which is op-posed to civil r ights and integra-t ion ."

ROY WILKINS, Executive Sec-re ta ry of the N.A.A.C.P. wrote, " N o matter how endlessly they try to explain it, the term Black Power means anti-white power. Ideologically it dictates ' u p with black a n d down with white . '"

Dr. Samuel Cook, professor at Atlanta Universi ty, wro te , "B lack Power is anti-white. It is separa-tist and isolationist. Make no mis-take abou t it: v i g o r o u s denials under pressure not wi ths tanding, the un ique dimensions of the Black Power m y t h is r a c i s m . "

Stokely Carmichae l , presently the leading advoca te of Black Power a long with H. R a p Brown, tells what Black Power really is when he says, " B l a c k people d o not want to ' t ake over ' this coun-try. I ney d o n t want to gel whitey.'

" T h e y just want him off their backs , a s the s ay ing goes. . . The white m a n is i rrelevant to blacks , except as an oppressive force. Blacks want to be in his

place, yes, but not in order to terrorize and lynch and s tarve him. They want to be in his place because that is where a decent life can be h a d . "

MANY WHITE people, as well as a handfu l of Negroes , fail to unders tand what Black Power really is. They close their ea r s to what Carmichae l is saying. They fea r Black Power because to them it only m e a n s violence.

Black Power is not violent, but rather it is aggress ive ly nonvio-lent. Black Power a l so says that if black people are attacked, they are go ing to move to destroy the people who are a t tacking them. This is not an act of violence, but of self-defense.

Black Power does not mean violence. It s tr ives for power for black people socially, economi-cally and politically. It is a call for black people in this count ry to unite, to recognize their heri-tage, to build a sense of com-munity. It is a call for black people to begin to define their own goals , to lead their own or-ganiza t ions and suppo r t those or-ganizat ions . It is a call to reject the racist institutions and the val-ues of this society.

THIS IS WHY I d isagree with the previous ly cited views of those

-so-called N e g r o leaders. They do not u n d e r s t a n d that the needs of black people a re different f r o m those of white people. What is good fo r white America is not necessarily g o o d for b lack people.

Black Power means , for ex-ample, that in Lowndes County, Ala., a black s h e r i f f c an end police brutal i ty . A black m a y o r can be elected and end co r rup t ion in his town. A black assessor , tax col-lector and county b o a r d of reve-nue can lay, collect and channel tax monies for the bui lding of better r o a d s a n d schools to serve black people.

In such a r e a s as Lowndes , where black people have a ma-jority, they will attempt to use power to exercise control. This is what we are after—control. When we are in the minori ty . Black Power means proper representa-tion and s h a r i n g of control .

I AM GETTING sick of this 90 percent theory in this count ry . We m a y be only 10 percent in-side this country , but I would like to inform certain people that blacks a re well located in cities across the country , and that, if in fact, 180 million people think that black people are go ing to be op-pressed any longer they are wrong. We are going to g o down, as you say, f ighting!

Fu r the rmore , Black Power means the creat ion of s t rong power bases f rom which black people can press to change local or na t ional pat terns of op-pression.

Black Power does not mean merely putting black faces into office. Black visibility is not Black Power. Most black politicians a r o u n d the count ry t oday are not examples of Black Power. The power must be that of a commun-ity, and e m a n a t e f rom there. This kind of power does not exist to-dav.

I FEEL THAT the va lues of this society suppor t a racist sys-tem. I see no reason why black people should support these val-ues. I reject the assumpt ion that the basic institutions of this coun-try need to be preserved.

The goa l of black people is not to assimilate with whitey and into his society, but to be themselves, control l ing their own destinies and ne ighborhoods . We have come to the point in h is tory at which the white m a n ' s attempt to help will no longer suffice. As a Son told his Mother, "I 'd rather do it my-self."

our pol icy ," Dean D e Y o u n g s a i d . In addi t ion, the Boa rd passed

a motion u n a n i m o u s l y s ay ing that s tudents should not be per-mitted to sit on the Admiss ions Review Subcommittee, which re-views the admiss ion appl ica t ions of border l ine cases. Presently, no students a re members of that body .

" T h i s subcommittee is merely an a r m for admin is t ra t ion of pol-icy, not a pol icy-making b o d y , " Dr. Hol lenbach said. " T h e g r o u p that draf ted the new committee structure felt that s tudents could b r ing no special expertise to the task invo lved . "

"IT IS ALSO a very time-con-s u m i n g j o b , " he continued. "We wondered if it would be fair to ask a student to spend that much time for a committee a ss ignment . "

President VanderWerf explained that the subcommittee often deals with informat ion r e g a r d i n g an ap-plicant 's personal life as well as his g rades .

In view of theconfidential na ture of some of the mater ia l discussed and the time factor , the B o a r d decided to uphold the committee s tructure r ecommenda t ion not to

have students on this body .

In the article, Mr. Ralph re-lated por t ions of the Biblical Cain and Abel myth to the na tu re of c o n t e m p o r a r y cities. He noted that " C a i n , the establ ishment of m a n , is the or ig inal cr iminal and a hinted fugitive. His first act in exile is to build a city. Thus , " Mr. Ralph wrote, " C a i n is the father of both cr ime and u r b a n civi l izat ion."

"I WANT TO show that vio-lence is not s o m e new illogical, unexpected p h e n o m e n o n , " ex-plained Mr. Ralph. " I t is built into the s t ructure of the city. The Cain and Abel myth gets to that s t ruc ture ."

Mr. Ralph d rewtwoconc lus ions about this s t ructure of the city in his article.

" T H E R E IS N O T H I N G sa cred abou t our u r b a n institu-t ions ," he wrote. Serenity is not the " n a t u r a l condi t ion and supreme achievement of the city."

We need to t ake the city and its fu ture with dead seriousness. " T h e r e is no escape , " he wrote, " n o tu rn ing b a c k , no possibility

of caus ing this monster to shr ink a w a y a g a i n into non-existence."

T H E F I N A L APPLICATION Mr. Ralph perceived f r o m the Biblical myth was that it is the lot of m a n k i n d " t o be implicated in the process of u r b a n existence even when cha rged with main-ta in ing essentially a critical de-t achmen t . "

It is the lot of mank ind to be involved in the chaos and violence that envelops the cities, the article main ta ins . This violence is the sign of Cain, " the inherent na ture of what the archetypal fugitive w r o u g h t . "

BY DESCRIBING such a re la t ionship between c o n t e m p o r a r y problems a n d Biblical myth-ology, Mr. Ra lph said he desired to help reestablish the va lue of the Scriptures.

Albion Smothers Dutch, 45-0 " £'• '< "V:,<" ''' , s"; 'v.' ''' ' ' ' % ii ' " J - wZWi • f , .;< ' •

By Ric Scort anchor Reporter

The F ly ing Dutchmen were smothered at Albion by the Bri-tons, 45-0, S a t u r d a y in the final MIAA contest of the season , leav-ing Hope in a tie for third place with Olivet.

A DAD 'S DAY c rowd saw the Bri tons d o m i n a t e every statistic except first downs . The Albion defense held the Dutch offense deep in their own ter r i tory t h roughou t most of the g a m e . H o p e only m a n a g e d three pene t ra t ions into Bri ton terr i tory.

Hope started its first d r ive on its own 2 8 y a r d line. M o v i n g the ball down to the Albion 3 0 , q u a r -terback Groy K a p e r had a pass intercepted to end the threat .

G E T T I N G T H E BALL on a Briton punt, the Dutch s tar ted ano the r m a r c h d o w n the field f r o m their own 24 soon after. With passes of 15 and 11 y a r d s to end Bill Bekker ing , the Dutch moved down to the Albion 20 be-fore los ing the bal l on downs. This was to be the last time Hope entered Albion ter r i tory until the closing minutes of the game .

Albion got the ball and dashed 80 y a r d s in two p lays to g ive the Bri tons their first of six touch-downs . Ha l fback J im Bell scam-

pered off right tackle fo r 31 y a r d s before being run out of b o u n d s . On the next play, fu l lback S a m Trippet t r a n un touched t h r o u g h the center of the line and s aun -tered 4 9 y a r d s for a t ouchdown . Bill Schuller kicked one of his five ex t ra points for a 7-0 score.

A F T E R TRADING kicks, Al-bion got the ball on Hope ' s 3 7 A 1 7 - y a r d run by Trippett and a 2 0 - y a r d run by C r a i g Cossey m a d e the score 14-0.

A three-yard kick by Bob Have-m a n g a v e Albion the ball on Hope ' s 24 and set u p the Bri-ton ' s third score. Al though hold-ing the Bri tons to just a ya rd in three tries, Hope ' s defense g a v e Schuller his four th field goal of the season , a 4 1 -yard kick.

GETTING T H E BALL for the first t ime in their own ter r i tory , the Bri tons took three p l ays to score f r o m their own 4 9 y a r d line. On the second p lay , Tr ippet t bolted over center and spr in ted his w a y to the two y a r d line. Blast-ing into the end zone f r o m the two, Trippett m a d e the score 24-0, to end the half.

Both teams failed to move the ball and t raded punts t h r o u g h o u t the third quar te r . Never get t ing past their own 3 3 y a r d line, the Dutch often found themselves in-side the 10. The difference in field posi t ion was due to Alb ion ' s punt-

A S H L A N D COLLEGE is about the s a m e size as Hope , is a NCAA, member as is Hope , but be longs to no conference.

The Dutch h a v e played the Eagles three times since 1962 and have won once. Last year Hope was shut out 39-0 by the Eagles , who finished the s ea son with an 8-0-1 record.

U N T I L T H R E E WEEKS ago , A s h l a n d was f ly ing high with an 18-game winning s t reak, but they suffered key injuries to their start-ing q u a r t e r b a c k , f l anke r and split end a n d have consequent ly lost two g a m e s in a row.

The Dutch too suffered last week as they were humi l ia ted by a fired-up Albion team, 45-0 . It w a s the first time the Dutchmen havefa i l ed to score this season .

DESPITE T H E FACT that Hope ' s offense is only four th in the MIAA, three Dutchmen h a v e a l r eady es tabl i shed school records with S a t u r d a y ' s g a m e left to play.

THE EAGLES ARE a b ig and well-balanced team with g o o d speed and the ability to r u n a w a y with a n y game. If H o p e ' s defense can hold out and the offense can catch what might be an over-confident Ashland team off g u a r d , Hope m a y h a v e their first w inn ing season since 1963.
