The troupe uses eighty pairs of shoes and boots for each performance, as well as myriad stacks of hand- made laces, petticoats, and intri- cate bodices.

That, at least, seems to be a common sentiment among grow- ing numbers of Hope students- and librarians. "I USUALLY COME to the library every night to do my studying." said one junior girl, "but at times it's taken me ten or fifteen minutes just to find a good seat." She qualified her statement by defining "a good seat" as being one of the single-student cubicles which are found generally along the walls in certain areas of Van Zoeren. Edward Whittaker, director of libraries, is aware of this typical study area preference. "Ameri- can students seem to prefer study- ing privately-one or two to a table, or else they use the cubi- cles," he stated. "Once in a while you get three or four students at one table during examtime. We are going to have to provide an- other seating arrangement, one where we have more individual cubicles," added Whittaker. WHEN ASKED what he was doing about the student prefer- ence for studying alone, Whittaker replied, "we are investigating the possibility of dividing the tables up by partitioning them off into cubicles. Perhaps this might be a solution to the problem. Anyway, we don't plan to have that many tables left in the library." He quickly emphasized that the lib- rary would not be switching com- pletely to cubicles, though; "We need tables for reference work and the like. We are going to balance the student facilities between cubicles and tables." The increased premium on study space-particularly at exam times-is only one of the several factors which especially seem to rankle Hope students about their library. Noise is another. "ONLY A NUT could have designed this place," one irate senior responded, "or else he would have put straw on the floors, left off the doors and windows and turned it into the barn that it should have been. It's so noisy in here that I can barely take it, let along study in it. At least straw on the floor would cut down on some of the noise that floats around all the time." A sophomore complained that the noise made here feel very self-conscious whenever she walked anywhere in the building. "You don't really want to sound like an invasion when you're walk- ing around in there, but you can't help it unless you're wearing sneakers. It makes me always feel like tip-toeing, but I don't care to look like a complete idiot every time I walk over to the card catalog," she said. WHITTAKER DEFINITELY agrees that noise is a big problem that the library must overcome, but he would also add the need for air-conditioning the building. "I think that originally the plans called for the building to be aligned east and west. That way, the windows were designed to take advantage of the prevailing east-west breezes, which would have taken care of a significant portion of our ventilation prob- lem at present," he said. "How- ever, something went wrong, and the library ended up being con- structed along a north-south axis, which means that we don't get any ventilation at all, and that the sun pours through great expanses of windows, giving the library a sub-tropical climate during spring, summer and fall," Whittaker stated. "It is well known that the library is one of the most uncom- fortable places on campus throughout that time. It is also (Continued on page 10, column 4)

Motions, amendments and counter -mot ions sailed through the air al last mon th ' s faculty meet ing as the faculty considered for the first lime the proposal to revise the curriculum of the col-lege.

The Library is a nice place to visit, but it 's getting harder and harder to study there.

That , at least, seems to be a common sentiment among grow-ing numbers of Hope s t u d e n t s -and librarians.

"I USUALLY COME to the library every night to do my s tudying ." said one junior girl, "but at t imes it's taken me ten or f i f teen minutes just to find a good sea t . " She qualified her s ta tement by defining "a good seat" as being one of the single-student cubicles which are found generally along the walls in certain areas of Van Zoeren.

"Once in a while you get three or four s tudents at one table during examtime. We are going to have to provide an-o the r seating arrangement, one

He quickly emphasized that the lib-rary would not be switching com-pletely to cubicles, though; "We need tables for reference work and the like.

Schools warned of impending financial crisis (AP) More t h a n 1,500 colleges

and universities, wi th 77 per cent of America ' s c a m p u s popu la t ion , are at or near the point of having to cut back impor t an t services f o r lack of m o n e y , the Carnegie Commiss ion on Higher Educa t ion repor ted Thur sday .

Some of the c o u n t r y ' s weal-thiest and most prest igious insti tu-t ions - including Harvard Univer-si ty, S t an fo rd and the University of Michigan - were named as representat ive of a " f inancia l crisis u n m a t c h e d in its i m p a c t " and fast get t ing worse.

ALMOST ALL higher educa-t ion ins t i tu t ions will feel the pinch if present t rends con t inue , said the repor t .

The repor t , compi led by Earl F . Chei t , f o rmer vice chancellor of the University of California at Berkeley, said: " T h e essence of the problem is that costs and income are bo th rising, but costs are rising at a s teady or a slowly growing rate . . . whereas income is growing at a declining r a t e . "

THE S Q U E E Z E IS made worse by the s ta te of the e c o n o m y , with inf la t ion bo th raising costs and inhibi t ing income, the repor t said. However , it asserted that the crisis is " n o t simply part of a general economic d o w n t u r n , " but in-volves ques t ions of public con-f idence in higher educa t ion and of the f u t u r e role and purpose of colleges and universities.

C a m p u s dis turbances , the re-por t said, are " an impor t an t new cost f a c t o r , " imposing substant ial cos ts for secur i ty , insurance and replaced p rope r ty while hamper-ing fund-raising, v

THE R E P O R T indicated that bel t - t ightening and review of pr ior i t ies by the colleges and universit ies would improve the s i tuat ion but that increased priv-ate giving and government aid

would be necessary t o preserve educa t iona l qua l i ty .

Basing its b roade r conclus ions on weighing of on-site s tudies of 41 representat ive inst i tut ions , t he repor t es t imated tha t 540 insti tu-t ions, enroll ing 21 per cent of Amer ican college s tuden ts , are " in f inancial d i f f i c u l t y . " It said tha t means they have been forced to curtai l services they consider impor t an t .

P R I V A T E SCHOOLS are more likely to face d i f f icu l ty than publ ic ones, the report said. It said that as of last spring 28 per cent of private schools could be called " n o t in t roub le , " as opposed to abou t 50 per cent of public colleges and universities.

Urban schools and schools in the Nor th were said to be in worse shape than the average, and in some cases medical schools were causing a severe drain on parent ins t i tu t ions .

T h e report said 19 per cent of universities were " n o t in t r o u b l e , " compared to 29 pur cent of liberal arts colleges.

O T H E R POINTS made in the repor t :

A b o o m psychology developed in t h e late 1950s and early 1960s, dur ing which enrol lments , income a n d e x p e n d i t u r e s mul t ipl ied. When the e c o n o m y cooled in the late 1960s many campuses were caught with big p lans and no way to f u n d them.

" Increases in federa l suppor t in every year since 1967 are less than the increases in the priced level. In o the r words , in real terms, federal suppor t is dec l in ing ," the repor t said.

TUITION AND FEE charges, which have abou t doubled in a

decade , are nearing a sa tura t ion po in t , in the view of many a d m i n i s t r a t o r s . Beyond that po in t , middle- income s tuden t s

will be kept ou t of college and only the rich and the subsidized poor will be able to a t t e n d .

Public ins t i tu t ions are no t allowed to have financial defici ts , hence their balance sheets might look be t t e r than those of private schools which are going in the red, but the public schools ' "def ic i t s are qual i ty defici ts and the consequences are no less severe for being hidden in di luted p rog rams . "

ELEVEN O F THE 41 sample i n s t i t u t i ons - i nc lud ing S tan fo rd , New York University and t h e University of California at Berkely - were in that ca tegory . But the report stressed that this did not reflect on their academic qual i ty and "cou ld indicate that the

ins t i tu t ion is do ing relatively more than o thers t o bring income and expend i tu re s in to l ine ."

A n o t h e r 1 ,000 schools, wi th 56 per cent of the s tudents , were t e rmed " h e a d e d for f inancial t r o u b l e , " - unable to assure that they can suppor t growth plans or go much longer wi thout cu t t ing impor t an t par t s of their programs.

AMONG THOSE were 18 schools - ranging f rom Harvard, with the na t ion ' s largest endow-m e n t , close t o $1 billion - t o Knox College of Galesburg, 111., a four -year school with fewer than 1,500 s tuden ts .

Measures being used to ride ou t the s torm include, for private ins t i tu t ions , cu t t ing in to capital reserves built up during the last

decade . But this source is fast drying up . At Knox , for example , $ 4 0 0 , 0 0 0 in reserves were t apped to make up last year ' s defici t . This year only $ 2 5 0 , 0 0 0 is left .

O T H E R STEPS include can-celing deve lopment plans, solic-iting more s tuden t s , holding d o w n or reducing hiring of facul ty and admin i s t ra to r s and t r imming allo-cat ions to academic d e p a r t m e n t s and s tuden t s activities.

Three Michigan schools were a m o n g the sample areas where it was found ins t i tu t ions of higher learning were headed for f inancial t rouble .

The three are Albion College at Albion, Central Michigan Univer-sity at Mount Pleasant , and the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor .

While agreeing with the general analysis of the record issued Thursday by the Carnegie Com-mission on Higher Educa t ion , t op off icials of the three Michigan colleges and universities named in the repor t disagreed over the im-mediacy of the financial plight of their respective ins t i tu t ions .

T H E U N I V E R S I T Y of Michi-gan, Central Michigan University and Albion College were three of the 41 representat ive ins t i tu t ions s tudied by the commiss ion . All th ree were included in the mid-dling ca tegory , "headed for fin-ancial t r o u b l e . "

One sampled ins t i tu t ion , Flint Jun ior College, was included unde r the " n o t in f inancial t r o u b l e " ca tegory , while no Michi-gan ins t i tu t ion was found to be " in f inancial d i f f i c u l t y . "

Hope is awarded

$2,500 by Esso

Education fund Hope College has been awarded

an unres t r ic ted $2 ,500 grant by the Esso Educa t ion F o u n d a t i o n u n d e r its Presidential Cont ingency F o u n d a t i o n .

A n n o u n c e m e n t of the grant was made to college Chancel lor William VanderLug t by Esso Edu-ca t ion F o u n d a t i o n execut ive di-rec tor Freder ick deW. Bolman.

Since its es tabl ishment in 1955, the Esso Educa t ion F o u n d a t i o n has con t r i bu t ed more than $33 million to ins t i tu t ions of higher learning t h r o u g h o u t the United States.

IN A S T A T E M E N T issued Thursday , U of M Vice President and Chief Financial Off icer Wilbur K. Pierpont said the school has " a n especially serious lack of f u n d s f o r new buildings and building reno-v a t i o n . "

" T h e university has been tight-ening its budgets internally over

the past several years, of course , and tha t ' s been p a i n f u l , " he said. " B u t now, as the Carnegie r epor t indicates, many colleges and uni-versities, including the University of Michigan, face a serious pros-pect of cu t t ing back on some i m p o r t a n t services, and , at the same t ime, being unable to plan fo r any g rowth in educa t iona l p rog rams . "

BOTH CMU President Dr. William Boyd and Albion presi-dent Bernard Loomis expressed a more sanguine view of their ins t i tu t ions ' f inancial problems.

" T h e Carnegie report gives us a grace period be fo re a f inancial crisis is r e a c h e d , " Boyd said, "and we in tend to use that t ime to our advantage.

Boyd said the university is involved in replanning its ent i re program, and tha t by next fall a new academic plan will be com-pleted to " u p d a t e our program and be consonan t with our re-sou rces . "

LOOMIS SAID that Albion is " n o t in a posi t ion of having to cut back programs at this t i m e . "

T h e Methodis t church-aff i l i -ated college has been adversely a f fec ted by the current e conomic s lowdown, Loomis admi t t ed , bu t he said that delays in con t r ibu-t ions caused by the recently-sett led General Motors strike would be made up.

" A T THIS MOMENT we are not in financial d i f f icu l ty , but this does not mean we shouldn ' t be careful in our planning. By Febru-ary we hope to have comple ted a five-year program. Then we'll be in a posit ion to say what our long-range plans a r e . "

Loomis , who became Alb ion ' s president last Sep tember , said he ques t ioned the r epor t s ' conclusion that Albion was "headed fo r f inancial t r o u b l e . " Not ing tha t no th ing in his fi les indicated tha t m e m b e r s of the commission had had discussions wi th any college officials, Loomis said, "We will approach the commiss ion in the near f u t u r e to ask how they arrived at their conc lus ions . "

"1 CAN'T SAY we're in love with the Carnegie r e p o r t , " Loomis added , " b u t it cer tainly does give a cause for reflective th ink ing . "

In its repor t , the commiss ion referred specifically to U of M, saying;

" In f l a t ion and a poor ou t look because of the a u t o industry will be ref lected in s tate suppor t of the university. Adminis t ra tors say the ou t look is dismal. Next year, it will no longer be possible to keep budgetary savings.

" T H E U N I V E R S I T Y is suffer-ing f rom a critical lack of capital funds , and, s imul taneous ly , is sub-ject to new d e m a n d s in areas such as ecology.

" T h e problem of how to sup-port low-income s tuden t s is be-coming acute , bo th because of increased c o m m i t m e n t and be-cause charging higher fees is the only major possibility of increas-ing income.

"Fede ra l suppor t for hard sciences has d ropped . Adminis t ra-tors foresee federal cuts in re-search, fel lowships and s tuden t aid.

" A l t h o u g h at the t ime of the interview campus d is turbances had not yet had direct e f fec t on a p p ropriat ions, adminis t ra tors believed there would be in ef-f e c t . "

When the play, wri t ten by the Frenchman Moliere, was first per formed in Paris in 1670 it was called a " comedy-ba l l e t , " and in fact included a full ballet which alone ran fo r over an hour . T h e Hope thea t re product ion will not compe te wi th the original in running t ime or in spectacle, but it will retain such characterist ic stylistic devices as inter ludes in song and dance .

WITH MANY O F THE pure ly spectacular e lements pared away , Moliere's d rama reveals itself as a whimsical por t ra i t of a well- to-do middle-class citizen trying foolish-ly to make his way in to high society.

Jourda in , the bourgeois gentle-man of the t i t le, on the one hand encounters a host of sycophan t s who encourage him in his delusions in order to fu r the r their own ends, and on the o the r hand must deal with the practical--minded down- to-ear th m e m b e r s of his own household who seek to ward off the more disas t rous consequences of his excesses.

These e n c o u n t e r s lead to a series of increasingly zany compli -cations, cu lmina t ing in a bogus ceremony which Jourdain believes has elevated him to the noble position of Turkish " m a m a m o u -ch i . "

M O L I E R E ' S USUAL satiric thrusts are evident , against pre ten-tiousness where it exists in the middle class, against supercil ious-ness where it exists in the aristocracy. But he t rea t s t h e subject more gently than he does in many of his most f amous plays, such as Tartujfe. Whereas Moliere f requent ly passes judgment on his characters al the end by bringing the o f f e n d e r s to justice, here he leaves the " m o r a i " of the play more ambiguous.

Scholarly speculat ions a b o u t The Bourgeois Gentleman have

included the interest ing theory that Moliere used as real-life models for his drama t h e Jou rd in family of c lo th merchan t s w h o were wel l -known to Parisians in the seventeenth cen tu ry .

Donald Finn of the thea t re faculty directs the p roduc t ion . Michael Gr inds ta f f is designer, with J o h n Tammi staging the dance numbers . George Ralph, also of the facu l ty , plays the tit le role. Walter Mahovlich is musical director .

THE CAST OF over f o r t y includes Sharon Tucker as Jour-dain 's nagging wife, Prudence Selover and Michael Boonstra as the young lovers; Kay Hubbard and Brad Williams as the wily servants; Jim Stills as the swag-

gering fencing master ; Richard Patmos as the meander ing philoso-pher; Doug Newmann as a swish dancing master ; J im Butler as the stolid music master , Tim Walters as the conniving cour t ie r ; Deborah

Noe as the coy widow; David Huang as the insolent tai lor and Gerry Swieringa as the mighty Mufti .

Per formances are at 8 p.m. Wednesday th rough Sa turday , with a Sa turday benefi t mat inee at 3 p.m. Proceeds f r o m the mat inee will go toward building a fund to be used in bringing guest artists to the campus.

Hope debaters win eight

matches at Bradley meet

Draft-age men wishing to d rop deferments and be reclassified in-to Class l-A s ta tus to take advan-tage of a year-end policy an-nounced last m o n t h by the Selec-tive Service System have been given until midnight , Dec. 31, to file for the reclassification. Such requests must be received by local boards by that date or carry a postmark da ted Dec. 31, 1970, or earlier.

T H E A N N O U N C E M E N T is contained in ins t ruc t ions issued to local board personnel by Dr. Cur-tis W. Tarr, Nat ional Director of Selective Service. These instruc-tions alter previous policy which stated that the appl icat ion had to be in the hands of local board personnel pr ior to a December meet ing of the local board .

The ins t ruct ion to local boards will be of interest to men who hold high number s in the 1970 draf t lo t tery. Should a young man hold a number higher than that reached by his local board - No. 195 has been set as the highest number which any local board can reach - it is t o his advantage to voluntari ly give up his de fe rmen t for a I-A classif ication. In these cases, he will move t o a lower draf t pr iori ty group on Jan. 1, 1971, with o t h e r members of the 1970 first pr ior i ty group with unreached numbers .

WHILE RECOGNIZING that young men holding lo t te ry num-bers over their local board " h i g h " could effect ively limit their vul-nerability to the dra f t by being classified in to l-A by the year 's end, Tarr s ta ted that " t h e law allows young men to elect wheth-er they will apply for a de fe rment and those y o u n g men granted de fe rmen t s should be able to drop them if they des i re ."

Tarr said t h e new policy was issued because various boards throughout the coun t ry were scheduling thei r last meetings of the year at d i f fe ren t t imes. By defining a specif ic cu tof f da te , the new policy allows all registrants an equal a m o u n t of t ime to take advantage of the reclassification offer .

PREVIOUS TO changing this policy on d ropp ing of de fe rmen t s .

Hope College debaters won eight of 10 matches at the Bradley University speech t o u r n a m e n t t w o weeks ago.

The Bradley t o u r n a m e n t , the largest collegiate event-of its k ind , a t t rac ted debaters f r o m 67 col-leges and universities.

The Hope af f i rmat ive team of Chad Busk and Vicki Ten Haken defeated teams f rom Illinois Central , Culver S tock ton , South-ern Illinois and Illinois Wesleyan while losing to DePauw Univer-sity.

The negative team of Paul Bach and Joan Lautenschleger defea ted teams f rom Western Illinois, Upper Iowa, Harding and Kansas Central while losing to Southern Illinois.

Hope s tuden t s also received 13 excellent and one superior rating

cert i f icates for pe r fo rmances in individual events.

The super ior rating, the highest presented, went to Busk in the af ter d inner speaking ca tegory . Receiving excellent cer t i f icates were Phil - Drake, in a f t e r dinner speaking; Miss Ten Haken, Miss Lautenschleger and Linda Drake in oral in te rpre ta t ion ; Dave Hel-mus, Karl Esmark and Bach in the ex t empore division; and Bach and Esmark in the listening ca tegory .

Eight Hope s tudents participa-ted in the Sta te Novice Debate tournament at Kellogg Com-munity College in Battle Creek last weekend.

Mike Cooper received an excellent cer t i f icate , while the team of Mary Ponstein and Charles Cosset t were unde fea ted in three rounds of compe t i t i on .

regis trants holding de fe rmen t s were generally unable to voluntar-ily relinquish them as long as they cont inued to meet the criteria for de fe rmen t , except at the end of the defe rment period when (hey could cancel them simply by not submi t t ing the necessary docu-ments for an extension.

The types of de fe rmen t s af-fected by the m e m o r a n d u m are high school and college defer-ments, occupat ional deferments , agricultural defe rments , paterni ty and hardship deferments . The l-Y classification, unacceptable for military service except in national emergency, is not af fec ted by this new policy. Men classified l-Y are not able to voluntarily d rop this classification.

Tarr pointed out that all defer-ments are issued for limited peri-ods of t ime, generally f o r one year, and that it is the responsi-bility of the registrant to submit documen ta t ion for an extension of his de fe rmen t . In the absence of d o c u m e n t a t i o n , the new local b o a r d m e m o r a n d u m instructs local boards to p rompt ly reclass-ify registrants in to l-A. This means that registrants wishing to con t inue their de fe rmen t s should submit the suppor t ing documenta -tion to their local boards.

Reform and research

The faculty meeting last month was a curious example of more than 100 intelli-gent adults coming together to express concern yet failing to articulate that con-cern.

The subject of the meeting was, of course, the curriculum reform package passed by the Academic Affairs Board the week previous to the meeting. The reform proposal has been the topic of conversation in faculty meeting places ever since it was originally wr i t ten last Apri l . Yet, for all the t ime that the faculty had to mull over the proposal, surprisingly l i t t le really relevant criticism came out of the November meet-ing. The result: almost no faculty members were pleased w i th the results of the meet-ing. Many faculty members were openly critical of the meeting and a few others seemed resigned to accept the meeting as " they way things are."

The specific results of meeting were the 12 "recommendations" the faculty handed to the AAB. A l l 12 were wr i t ten before the meeting, and none was changed in any way during the meeting. Only two of the

anchor editorial

"recommendations" proposed during the night failed to pass. What the faculty in effect did was to say to the A A B , "Ok , prove to us that the proposal is wor th passing. We have some objections, but it's your proposal." The faculty then pro-ceeded to throw the whole question into the lap of the AAB. The meeting started out wi th the faculty picking apart each "recommendat ion" to see if each was worthwhile. That's why the first two state-ments did not pass-there were reservations about them. But f rom that point on, the faculty began to do less questioning, apparently feeling that AAB should be given innumerable directives, f rom which the board could choose those it wished to act upon. Thus the faculty was inarticulate in its demands f rom the taard.

When this fact wa /po in ted out by Wayne VanderByl, a student member of AAB, he was received seriously by few faculty members, and rudely by some. One faculty member must have felt he was infinitely more important a person than VanderByl as he shouted out, "You're out of order." Sorry, Mr. Faculty Member, you were the one who was "out of order." If you don't want to listen to the truth, then at least let others speak it.

Besides being inarticulate, the faculty asked for some very specific information from the A A B - i n f o r m a t i o n that simply cannot be provided w i th certainty unt i l the curriculum reform is actually tried. A t the same time the faculty asked some very broad questions-questions that have been raised by every committee that ever studied education at Hope College. They wil l never be answered to everyone's satis-faction unt i l someone comes up wi th a definitive statement on liberal education.

Finally, at least some of the faculty questions could have been raised earlier. Only two faculty members showed up for the AAB meeting when the curr iculum proposal was acted upon. Faculty input into the proposal as it progessed f rom stage to stage was not adequate. This was not the fault of the ad hoc committee that wrote the reform bi l l , but the faculty itself which failed to articulate its concerns earlier.

In spite of the unhappy results of the November meeting, the A A B wi l l have to act. As we mentioned, some questions it may never be able to answer to everyone's satisfaction. Nevertheless, it should make an attempt at answering as many questions and doubts as possible. Therefore, we recommend that the board have a definite plan of attack. Our recommendations to the board are not further questions or objections to the proposal, but rather a way of going about the business of solving some of the problems that the faculty has questioned.

F i rs t -and the easiest-of these is that the AAB announce to the entire faculty each and every meeting dealing w i th the proposal. These announcements should include the specific points in the proposal that the board plans to discuss.

Second, we recommend that one or two members of the board (or a small group appointed by the board) research similar

curriculum plans at other institutions. The research should include questions about how the plan operates, when it went into effect, what previous curriculum the other schools had, and what problems were encountered in changing over from one curriculum structure to the other.

Third, we recommend that the board contract or arrange w i th the Office of Institutional Research or similar group to conduct preliminary studies into the effect of changing the curriculum. This could hopefully take the form of extensive sur-veys based on a " d u m m y " curriculum. That is, the researchers would take a representative sampling of students, ask them to plan dummy schedules and even write dummy contracts. Perhaps some of the faculty who are earnestly interested in seeing the outcome of such a study could volunteer to serve on a dummy contract committee that would evaluate the students' contracts. Such a study would give solid—if not absolute—evidence of the kind of effects a curr iculum change would have on scheduling, faculty loads, feasa-bi l i ty of the proposed administrative struc-ture for the contract program, etc. It wi l l be a massive job, but it may be the only way to predict wi th any certainty whatso-ever the kind of problems and solutions which the curriculum change would bring. Conjecture-even informed conjecture-by committee or board members wil l not convince a doubt fu l faculty.

Fourth, we recommend that the board appoint a committee, or reappoint the ad hoc committee, to further delineate the operation and structure of the Intro-duct ion to Liberal Studies course. Granted," that job was going to be left up to a special committee charged w i th implementation of the proposal, but it looks like the faculty just doesn't want to wait on this item. In fact, proposing a course outl ine, etc., may be the only way to even get such a course considered by the faculty.

Fifth, the board might appoint a few individuals to start assigning courses to worlds in the area curriculum. While the kind of hassle about specific assignments should be avoided, the persons working on such a project might either find that the present definitions of the four worlds are sufficient for the job of making assign-ments, or it might find that there are holes to fill in the definitions. If the latter is the case, dealing with real courses in the present curriculum and attempting to fit them into a proposed curriculum might offer additional insight into the study of definitions. Again, this point like number three above involves a sort of "dummy" implementation. Perhaps that is more meaningful than mere rhetoric (for mere rhetoric can be countered by the faculty with mere rhetoric).

Finally, the board wi l l want to include in its final package a statement about which students would be affected at such time as the curr iculum revision should take affect. This problem wi l l be easy to solve, since the question was raised and answered in the AAB meeting when the reform proposal was passed. It only remains to be put in writ ing.

We ask the board to note that all of the above suggestions are made not to compli-cate the board's task or to add additional "recommendations" to its already burden-some list. Rather, the above are offered as strategy, i.e., a way of answering the questions the faculty raised. This wil l take time. But the results may prove more satisfying to everyone. Particularly the suggestions that the proposal be imple-mented in a " d u m m y " fashion wi th l imited participation wi l l provide evidence, not just guesses, about the both short- and long-range effect of a curriculum revision. The faculty wi l l f ind it d i f f icu l t to refute such evidence unless it does its own research in similar fashion. The idea here is, of course, not to "get this one by the facul ty , " but to end up wi th a workable plan which satisfies all part ies- including students and admin-istrators.

The board may not wish to do all the work itself. Indeed, it should not hope to accomplish such a task. Those faculty members who are dissatisfied w i th portions of the proposal as it now stands should be wil l ing to volunteer their t ime to improve it.

If the above recommendations are fol lowed, the board wi l l have taken the proposal much farther than perhaps it intended. Maybe that's not a bad idea.

The no knock by Art Buchwald

There was a shoot -out in Phoenix two weeks ago which has nat ional implicat ions. The pol ice, taking advantage of a " n o k n o c k " law, raided a house where they suspected hippies had narcot ics . Unfo r tun -

ate ly , at the t ime of the raid the hippies had moved ou t and a marr ied couple had moved in. Since the raid took place at 1 :30

in the morn ing , the husband refused to believe the men were police and shot one . He in tu rn was shot . The police sergeant said a f t e r the raid, " I t was a misunder-s tanding. The couple probably felt they were de fend ing their home against some hippies, and the of f icers though t they were fighting some cr iminals . "

NOW, OPPONENTS of the " n o k n o c k " law have a lways claimed the big danger of it was that if the police enter someone ' s home w i t h o u t knock ing they could get shot .

Since the Cons t i tu t ion permits you to defend y o u r own h o m e , it is possible that more pol icemen will be shot than narcot ics

will be f o u n d .

This will make the cops up t igh t , and so, to pro tec t themselves, they' l l start shoot ing first , and be fo re you k n o w it there will be blood ba ths all over the c o u n t r y .

THE REASON LAW en fo rcemen t off i -cials say they need the " n o k n o c k " law is tha t , if they knock first , the suspects inside the house will flush narcot ics evidence down the toi let . Only a s t rong " n o k n o c k " law, they claim, can prevent anyone f r o m dashing to the b a t h r o o m .

This sounds reasonable bu t , as we have seen in Phoen ix , it can only lead to a shoot -ou t , because the people inside the house can never be certain that the people crashing i n to their h o m e are pol icemen.

THERE IS A SOLUTION to this prob-lem which we think could sat isfy the law-and-order people , as well as the inno-cent home owner .

I am proposing that the " n o k n o c k " law be str icken f rom the books and replaced with a " n o f lu sh" law.

This is how it would work : T h e police would still have t o get a warrant to enter someone ' s h o m e . They would also have to knock before en te r ing . . But if it were a

narcot ics or gambling raid, they would have to shout at the t op of their voices,

"77J/S IS a raid. Anyone who flushes the toilet will be arrested.''''

ONE POLICEMAN would be s ta t ioned by the water mete r nearest the house or a p a r t m e n t to mon i to r any f luc tua t ion in water pressure dur ing the raid.

When the police en te r the a p a r t m e n t , they will have the au thor i ty to check the b a t h r o o m s . If anyone flushes dur ing the raid, he will be assumed to have c o m m i t t e d a c r ime , and this evidence will be accepted by the court as prima-facie evidence of guil t .

T h e " n o f l u s h " law may be considered by civil l ibertarians as an invasion of privacy, but it is cer tainly more acceptable than a " n o k n o c k " law, and safer, t o o .

I made this suggestion at the annual mee t ing of the American Bar Assn. in St. Louis in a speech last summer , b u t they only laughed at me .

So I've decided to take my case to the publ ic . Would y o u rather have the police

crash in on you at 1 o 'c lock in the morn ing w i t h o u t warning? Or would you ra the r first hear a knock on the door and give u p your

b a t h r o o m privileges while they ' re searching th rough your h o m e ?

anchjor review

'Call It Sleep9: honesty transcends the mere episodic Editor's Note: This week's aA7c/7or review is written by Critiques Editor Gerald Swieringa. He reviews Call It Sleep by Henry Roth (Avon Books, $.95).

by Gerald Swieringa

If there can be singled ou t o n e fau l t which blemishes that genre of f ic t ion called the Amer ican Jewish novel, it may be general ly t e rmed the homage payed to h u m o r ra ther than hones ty . Henry R o t h ' s Call It Sleep a s tounds the reader with its hones ty , and this, if fo r no o the r reason, is enough t o make the novel the best example of American Jewish wri t ing ye t p r o d u c e d .

WRITTEN I N 1934, Call It Sleep is only now being realized by the public as wor thy of Alf red Kazin 's unreserved laudi tudes . <4A classic of psychological f i c t i o n , " he called it, and rightly so. T h e novel deals wi th the impress ions of a six-year old Austr ian Jewish immigran t , David Schearl , whose Amer ican iza t ion is d ramat ized

t h r o u g h o u t the b o o k . David is the compos i t e Jewish hero: intelli-gent , impressionable, and the on ly child of a matr iarchal Jewish family - a Freudian case s t u d y .

Philip Ro th would have begun and ended here, but Henry R o t h sees in his hero someth ing of a m u c h vaster significance. As W a l t e r A l l e n states, " R o t h ( H e n r y ) makes us sharply aware ... of the degradat ion, the diminu-t ion in human digni ty , that was one aspect of the immigrant ' s lot as he moved f r o m a society wi th a t radi t ional cu l ture to ano the r with no cul ture at al l ." It is the Amer ican dream of amel iora t ion po r t r ayed in the daylight of its fai lure.

Call It Sleep is harsh, honest ly harsh. Yet R o t h has achieved a sort of petic t ranscendence that is of itself a dominan t fea ture of the American character . Above the s t inking wretch of the vessel Peter Stuyvesant delivering its h u m a n cargo t o the New York t enements , " T h e gulls wheel ing be fo re her

College to sponsor debate on marijuana

prow rose with slight creaking cry f r o m the green wate r , and as she chu rned away f r o m the s tone quay sk immed across her pa th on indolen t , scimitar wing . " T h e fes ter ing squalid and the un-abashed festive - where else but in America?

A G E N U I N E T R I U M P H of Call It Sleep is R o t h ' s handl ing of the distinctive New York immi-grant ' s dialect. T h r o u g h o u t the book whenever he allows his charac ters to speak in English, this dialect is imposed to a highly au then t i c detail .

" G ' w a n an ' we'll le tchy go , " p r o m i s e d P e d l e y . ^ G ' w a n ! S h n k p ' "

" i n just pud id i n?" " Y e a . Like I showed y u h . " " A n 'den yuh ' l l led me go?" "Su re . G 'wan . Id ain ' gonna

ho i tcha . Ye'll see all de movies in de woil! An ' vawderville t oo ! G 'wan before a car c o m e s . "

" S u r e , an 'all de angels. ' " IN C O N T R A S T T O the dialect

used when English is spoken . Ro th lends his charac ters an ar t icula te Yiddish - and never are the cont ras t ing cu l tures more

poignant ly po r t r ayed than in the speech of their members . David's m o t h e r says for instance, " I t is summer ... the weather grows warm. Whom will you refresh with the icy lips the water lent y o u ? "

David, as the center of the narrative, is as finely drawn as any character in recent American f ic t ion . Call It Sleep is told a lmost exclusively f r o m his point of view, recalling the achievements of Henry James and Mark Twain . The virtues of this point of view

are obvious. David roams freely th rough bo th his env i ronment and his consciousness, recount ing the marvel and pa thos of the immi-grant child.

HE IS D E V O T I O N ATELY a t tached to his mothe r , whose compassion for him ex tends far b e y o n d the convent ional b o u n d s of the mother -son relat ionship. His fa ther , cruel, hard and demanding , is all t oo o f t e n the catalyst of t r a u m a . Indeed, the three years covered in the novel may easily be dismissed as a chronology of crises.

But the tone of naturalist ic hones ty which pervades the novel precludes this assumpt ion . Once again the native hones ty of Ro th elevates his work f rom the episodic to the empirical. The cries are t reated as f a c t / not melodrama.

R E G A R D I N G T H E Jewish h u m o r . Roth is pe rhaps no t as bla tant as his successors. His h u m o r lacks the d ry , esoteric qual i ty c o m m o n l y expec ted f rom the Jewish writers t o d a y ; none the-less it is a warm compel l ing h u m o r , as much at home within the narrative as the Jewish morb id i ty which foils it.

If there is one place in the novel when one feels the hones ty is sacrificed and a dr i f t toward sent imenta l i ty de t ec t ed , it is at t he very end. Here Ro th must compromise some auster i ty to avenge his hero, and therefore sends him to bed in a opt imis t ic unce r t an ty . Yet is is an uncer ta in-ty at the very core of the American dream itself, an uncer-ta inty which begins with the j u t t e d promise of Long Island, and ends in sleep.

A par l iamentary deba te on the ques t ion of legalizing mar i juana will be held in Wichers Audi-to r ium Thursday at 7 p.m.

Parl iamentary deba te , has a un ique form that involves active audience par t ic ipa t ion . Debat ing will be s tuden t s Paul Bach and J im Stills, facul ty members Dr. Earl Curry and Dr. Robert Brown, Holland physician Dr. Phillip Parker and city Chief Proba t ion Off icer George Steggerda.

During a recent interview with this repor te r . Draf t Director Cur-tis Tarr remarked: " T h e r e ' s a sub-stantial feeling in the c o u n t r y , I unde r s t and , against consc ien t ious ob jec t ion , a feeling that y o u ' d ra ther not help a consc ien t ious ob jec to r if there ' s a chance t o help somebody else. In Michigan the o t h e r day 1 talked to the s tate d i rec tor of selective service, and he said a fellow came into his of f ice and said, 4I just f inished my civilian work as a C.O. I 'm the fa the r of three , happily marr ied, but 1 can ' t suppor t my family . . . N o b o d y wants to hire a conscien-t ious ob jec to r . ' T h a t ' s a t r agedy . "

YES, IT IS. And there is irony in the di rector ' s very recogni t ion of the t ragedy. Tarr himself is inadver tant ly helping to cause the t ragedy by failing to end a repre-hensible and long-standing policy of Selective Service: the so-called " d i s r u p t i o n " policy governing a C.O. 's civilian work .

C.O. 's in class 1-0 (opposed to bo th c o m b a t a n t and n o n c o m b a -tan t mili tary service) may be called upon to p e r f o r m t w o years of civilian work in lieu of induc-t ion. The Selective Service act and regulat ions require only that the civilian work be in the nat ional hea l th , safety or interest . There is absolute ly no men t ion of disrupt-ing a C.O. 's life.

WHILE THE STATE directors of selective service main ta in lists of approved civilian work , local d r a f t boards have the final say. They decide u l t imate ly which j o b an individual C.O. can take. The only guidance a board has in deciding whe the r a par t icular j o b is appropr i a t e lies in Local Board M e m o r a n d u m No. 64 . General Hershey issued this LBM in 1962, and Tar r has not yet seen fit t o change it.

LBM No. 64 provides in pa r t : " W h e n e v e r possible [civilian]

work should be pe r fo rmed outs ide of the c o m m u n i t y in which the registrant resides. The posit ion should be one that cannot readily be filled f rom the available labor force . . . and should cons t i tu te a d isrupt ion of the registrant 's nor-mal way of life somewhat com-parable to the disrupt ion of a registrant w h o is induc ted in to the Armed Forces . "

THIS " D I S R U P T I O N " policy implies a vindictive judgmen t on the part of Selective Service: namely , that civilian work which punishes serves the "na t iona l in-t e r e s t . " In essence, LBM No. 64 asks dra f t boards to treat a C.O. as if he were being sent to a civilian boo t camp. Such a policy tends to de-emphasize, if not ignore, a C.O. 's individual ta lents and the availability of work that exercises and develops those talents.

How does the " d i s r u p t i o n " policy benefi t the nat ional heal th , safety or interest? To pose this ques t ion is to ask, in e f fec t , whe ther the " d i s r u p t i o n " policy is au thor ized by the Selective Ser-vice act and regulations. In this repor te r ' s op in ion it is not .

ONE C O U R T , however, has recently decided otherwise . In Hackney v. Hershey the federal

trial court for the middle district of Nor th Carolina held that LBM No. 64 is valid.

The case involved a C.O. wi th b o t h skills and exper ience in lab-o ra to ry , research and related med-ical fields. This C.O. was working as an inhalat ion therapis t super-visor at the New York University Medical Center . His work had been approved as acceptable civil-ian work in the nat ional hea l th , safe ty and interest by bo th the s ta te directors fo r Nor th Carolina (where the C.O. 's d ra f t board was) and New York City (where the medical center was).

THE D R A F T B O A R D dis-agreed. It noted in the C.O. 's file: "Loca l Board is not satisfied with j o b at New York University Medi-cal Cen te r because this would not disrupt registrant 's way of l i fe ." Incredibly enough , the board as-signed the C.O. to hospital work in Nor th Carolina which the court later f ound to be "of a rou t ine na ture which require(s) little training and no formal educa-t i on . " The cour t also found that the C.O. 's new work was "min i -mal and did not employ his capa-bilities, ta lents and training . . . " As a result a young man may sweep f loors in Nor th Carolina, while a hospital in New York goes wi thou t a specialist.

This p rocedure has got to s top . Official ly sanct ioned disrupt ion u l t imate ly con t r ibu te s to the very public a t t i tude which Tarr calls a t ragedy. If a C.O. is forced to pe r fo rm useless civilian work , will he ever be regarded wi th respect? And what does he have to show for his two years of waste and degradat ion when his civilian work is over and he seeks a real j o b ? No wonder Tarr hears stories abou t C.O. 's w h o canno t suppor t their families.

THIS T R A G E D Y which can last for years begins with the official policy of d i s rupt ion for d i s rup t ion ' s sake. You can help end this pol icy. Write to us. We have already inf luenced policy changes th rough this co lumn . Of course, we will no t send your let ters directly to Tarr . We always preserve the conf iden t ia l i ty of y o u r communica t ions .

HOPE HAS HOSTED summer ins t i tu tes in mathemat ics and chemis t ry fo r several years. The

Faculty recitals to commemorate Beethoven's birth

Charles Aschbrenner , assistant professor of music, will pe r fo rm three of Beethoven 's sonatas Thursday in Dimnent Memorial Chapel at 8 :15 p.m.

The recital is one of two being presented this week by the music d e p a r t m e n t to c o m m e m o r a t e the bicentennial of Beethoven 's bir th .

The second is a Beethoven chamber music concer t , a recital by members of the music depar t -ment facul ty , which will be pre-sented Sunday in Wichers Audi-tor ium at 4 p .m. Part icipating in the program ' will be Rober t Ri tsema, cellist, accompanied by pianist Joan Conway , and Carroll Lehman, bar i tone, accompanied by pianist A n t h o n y Kooiker. This will be Lehman ' s first appearance as a new member of the music depa r tmen t facul ty .

Also fea tured in the recital will be a facul ty qu in te t consisting of Gail Warnaar on oboe , Paul Grishke on clarinet, Paul Lein on bassoon, Rober t Cecil on horn and Aschbrenner on piano.

N S F will grant a to ta l of $ 1 5 6 , 8 4 2 for the three 1971 insti-tu tes fo r jun io r and senior high school teachers of science and mathemat ics .

Dr. Eugene C. Jekel, professor of chemist ry , will return f rom a one-year leave of absence t q again direct the ins t i tu te in chemis t ry ,

for which Mope will be granted $61 ,350 .

THE INSTITUTE for mathe-matics teachers will again opera te under the direct ion of Dr. Jay E. Folker t , professor of mathemat ics and chairman of the depa r tmen t . The NSF will grant $ 5 2 , 1 4 0 for the ma themat i c s inst i tute .

The NSF also announced its in ten t ion to con t inue t o suppor t the ma themat i c s inst i tute th rough 1973 and the chemistry ins t i tu te th rough 1972.

The new ins t i tu te in oceanogra-phy and the l imnogeology of the Great Lakes will be directed by Dr. J. Co t te r Thar in , cha i rman of the geology d e p a r t m e n t . T h e NSF grant of $43 ,352 will allow 40 jun io r and senior high school science teachers to study at Hope fo r six weeks, July 5 - August 13, 1971.

THARIN WILL BE joined on the ins t i tu te staff by Dr. William French , assistant professor of ge-ology; Dr. David Klein, chai rman of the chemis t ry d e p a r t m e n t ; and Dr. Ron Ward, chairman of the biology depa r tmen t at Grand Valley State College.

T H A R I N ALSO considers the new ins t i tu te impor tan t to the d i s c i p l i n e s invo lved because "ea r th and general science teach-ers are generally poorly trained in oceanography and geographical l imnology ( l imnogeology)" and because " n o college or university opera tes an ear th or general science ins t i tu te which focuses on the fresh water env i ronmen t . "

During the inst i tute , the geolo-gy d e p a r t m e n t ' s facilities - in-cluding the 37-foot research vessel Infinity / / and several smaller c raf t - will be utilized in Lake Michigan and Lake Macatawa, part icularly the Pine Creek Bay area of the lat ter , and in h e r e t o f o r e unexamined Kelly Lake, located a few miles west -southwest of Holland.

Debra Jean Sweet , one of fou r y o u n g people presented medals fo r bravery or service by Nixon at a White House ce remony , seized the chance to lecture the chief executive.

As he handed over her medal , the unsmil ing Miss Sweet responded in a so f t voice tha t was barely audible t o newsmen. However, she later told repor ters this is what she said t o the President:

Voter registration okayed

18-year olds given go-ahead (AP) Michigan At ty . Gen .

Frank Kelley ruled today tha t qualif ied persons over 18 years of age may be registered to vote under the Federal Vot ing Rights

Act . Kelley said election off icials

may not re fuse to register those be tween 18 and 21 but suggested that such registrations be kept separate until final disposit ion of the issue by the U. S. Supreme Cour t .

A L T H O U G H M I C H I G A N voters rejected a proposed 18-year-old vote a m e n d m e n t to the s tate cons t i tu t ion Nov. 3, Kelley noted that the Federal act , which is " t h e sup reme law of the l and , " supersedes t h e Michigan age requ i rement .

"S ince it is necessary under Michigan law for qualif ied electors to be registered, it is incumbent upon elect ion officials to register as e lectors all persons w h o are qualif ied and , in so doing, they may n o t . refuse to register a person be tween the ages of 18 years and 21 years fo r failure to

m e e t t h e age r e q u i r e m e n t , " Kelley's ruling said.

T H E A T T O R N E Y general 's op in ion was contained in a le t ter to Sta te Rep. Jackie Vaughn HI, D - Det ro i t , who had asked the s ta tus of those between 18 and 21 as the Supreme Court prepares t o rule on the cons t i tu t ional i ty of the Vot ing Rights Act.

Kelley said fu r the r that Michi-gan law requires that in order t o vote one must be registered not later than the f i f t h Fr iday preceding the election.

' i t must also be noted that school distr icts and o the r govern-menta l uni ts will hold elect ions at various t imes th roughou t 1971, the a t t o rney general said, adding that generally those elect ions are fo r vot ing upon primaries and elec-t ion of local officials, millage o r o ther proposals .

" T H E STATE di rec tor of e lect ions advises that he present ly knows of special elect ions which have been called to be held in the m o n t h of January , 1971, in half a

dozen distr icts t h r o u g h o u t t h e s t a t e , " he said.

" In order to qual i fy to vote at any such election, registrat ion prior to Jan. 1 would be r equ i r ed , " Kelley said.

"1 would the re fo re suggest tha t , as an 18- 21-year-old person must register prior to t h e issuance by the Supreme Cour t of its decision, the registrat ion card be kept separate f r o m registrat ion cards of o the r electors so as to be readily available fo r disposi t ion fol lowing issuance of the cour t ' s decis ion. . ."

Kelley said it would be inappropr ia te for him t o rule on the cons t i tu t ional i ty of the Fed-eral act . since it now is pending be fo re the na t ion ' s highest cour t .

He no ted , however, that Gov. William Milliken - on advice f r o m Kelley's of f ice - has told U.S. A t ty . Gen. J o h n Mitchell t ha t Michigan in tends to comply wi th the Federal law dealing with 18 year olds when this por t ion of the act takes effect Jan. 1, 1971 , unless it has been declared uncons t i tu t iona l .

Degree in three years

College costs may be reduced AAUP speaks out

on faculty freedoms (AP) Take hear t , Dad, if you

still have youngsters at h o m e wi th college aspirat ions. T h e bill might be reduced by 25 per cent if present th ink ing in some higher education circles bears f ru i t .

S o m e universi ty pres idents agree the t ime is r ipe to m a k e changes that will cut school t ime 25 per cent f o r the fou r year bachelors degree and possibly t w o years fo r the l o f t y Ph.D. -bringing d o w n the cost to b o t h parents and the schools them-selves.

REFERRING TO the t ight and gloomy f inancial cond i t ion of most universities, b o t h private and public, Dr. Glen Terrel l of Washington S ta te said:

" I th ink tha t fiscal cond i t i ons ... will m a k e it necessary to d o someth ing like this. It will f o r c e us t o do innovat ing tha t we are no t inclined to d o . "

Terrell was c o m m e n t i n g on a Carnegie Commiss ion fo r Higher Educa t ion repor t released this week tha t called fo r a res t ruc tur -ing of the degree sys tem, largely u n t o u c h e d for 80 years, to require fewer years in the c lassroom.

THE REPORT also suggested crea t ion of t w o new degrees b e t w e e n the B.A. and Ph.D.

• Master of Ph i losophy a f t e r five or six years , qua l i fy ing t h e recipient to teach in high school and lower division in college.

* Doc to r of Arts , envisioned as equal to a Ph.D. , but wi th emphasis on a b roader field of basic knowledge and less on research as required by the Ph.D. It would prepare the recipient f o r teaching at the universi ty level.

AUTHORITIES SAY t he need for changing the degree s t ruc tu re already is well recognized and about 75 universi t ies e i ther have or are s tudying the possibili ty of creat ing a degree b e t w e e n the bachelor and doc to ra l degrees.

Yale Universi ty, fo r example , has revised its cur r icu lum for a Master of Phi losophy degree that qual if ies the recipient f o r teaching but does no t require the addi t ion-al t w o years fo r the thesis that leads to a doc to r a t e .

C o m m e n t i n g tha t new degrees already are in use and spreading. Dr. Byrum E. Car ter , chancel lor of the Bloomington c a m p u s of Indiana Universi ty, said, t4l d o n ' t th ink there is any d o u b t the re are a substant ia l n u m b e r of Ph.D. programs tha t t ake an excessive n u m b e r of yea r s . "

SOME EDUCATORS are call-ing fo r even more radical reduc-t ions in the t ime spen t in school , especially f o r an expensive medi-cal degree.

While a Yale spokesman did not foresee shor t en ing t h e t ime t o ob ta in a degree, he no ted tha t each year Yale a d m i t s abou t 50 s tudents w h o are given s o p h o m o r e s tanding because tests have shown they have acquired knowledge in three or more sub jec t s b e y o n d what is o f fe red in f r e shman courses.

T h e Carnegie Commiss ion re-por t , prepared by a panel that i n c l u d e d pres idents of such schools as Not re Dame , Harvard and the Universi ty of N o r t h Carolina, said r educ t ion in the t ime spent in school can be accomplished " w i t h o u t sacrif icing educat ional q u a l i t y . "

Consumer protection council

organized by college students (AP) College y o u t h launched a

Nat iona l S tuden t Consumer Pro-tec t ion Counci l Fr iday aimed at wiping ou t s h o d d y p roduc t s and business cheats . '

Its professor organizer called it " a new f ron t i e r to break th rough t h e barrier tha t restrains hones t deal ing in the marke t p lace . "

T h e movemen t mobil ized at Villanova University a f t e r some 3 , 0 0 0 s tuden t s heard consumer advoca te Ralph Nader call those on Amer ica ' s campuses " t h e main subjec ts of e x p l o i t a t i o n . "

" S t u d e n t s spend more m o n e y on worthless p r o d u c t s than any o the r g roup in the c o u n t r y , " Nader said. " T h e r e is no reason why s tuden t s in every s t a t e canno t organize to p ro tec t them-selves as c o n s u m e r s . "

T h e counci l is t he brainchild of Dr. Ado lph S. Butkys , associate professor of business adminis t ra-t ion , w h o hopes to have at least

1,000 enrolled by June in the Eastern United Sla tes .

Butkys said he organized t h e council fo r business and econom-ics majors , to give t hem a cause and a social m o v e m e n t that would enrich their present and inf luence their f u tu r e .

" T h e physical sciences and engineering s tuden t s have ecology and pollut ion as their cause , " Bu tkys said. " T h e arts , humani t i e s and political ma jo r s t uden t s have the Vietnam war, peace and revolution as their cause. Law and social science s t uden t s have civil rights, civil l ibert ies and ant i -pover ty as their par t icular cause . "

Bet te Clemens, d i rec tor of Pennsylvania 's Bureau for Con-sumer Pro tec t ion , a n o t h e r speaker at Vil lanova's Intercol legiate Con-sumer Pro tec t ion Sympos ium, said, " Y o u n g peop le are an un tapped source in the bat t le f o r be t te r p r o d u c t s . "

TO ACHIEVE THIS goal, it suggested accredi t ing high schools to give first-year college work to high school seniors and remedial summer school f o r those who don ' t comple t e the w o r k .

Stressing his po in t , commiss ion chairman Clark Kerr declared, " T h e last year of high school is now largely w a s t e d . "

Washington S ta te ' s Terrell said awarding the B.A. degree in th ree years "is no t cheapen ing the degree but is pressing part of the training d o w n in the high school level."

EDWARD H. LEVI, president of the University of Chicago, likewise is calling fo r shor tened t ime in the classroom and is asking for a college degree in general educa t ion a f t e r t w o years of s tudy.

T h e commiss ion es t imated it would save $3.5 billion t o $5 billion a year in universi ty opera t ing cos t s and ano the r $5 billion in cons t ruc t i on costs in the next 10 years.

Grand Valley

to add campus

television station (AP) Grand Valley Sta te Col-

lege off icials have asked the Federal C o m m u n i c a t i o n s Com-mission to approve a Western Michigan educa t iona l television s ta t ion on Channel 35.

Arend D. Lubbers , the school ' s president and a Hope graduate , told a news con fe rence tha t abou t $275 ,000 has been pledged towards the goal of $ 5 0 0 , 0 0 0 needed to help get the s ta t ion operating. He said the remaining $225 ,000 will be sought f r o m area residents before a t t e m p t i n g to obta in a ma tch ing federal grant.

Lubbers said the s ta t ion also hopes to ob ta in $ 5 0 0 , 0 0 0 f rom the U.S. Depa r tmen t of Health Educat ion and Welfare t o , h e l p with equ ipmen t and instal lat ion.

The college pres ident said the s ta t ion could be on the air "six to eight m o n t h s a f t e r all f inancial hurdles are c l ea red . " Lubbers said present plans call for the s ta t ion to telecast in color , 10 hours daily, five days per week during its first year of opera t ion .

T h e American Associat ion of University Professors last m o n t h emphasized that " t h e facu l ty ' s responsibihty to de fend its free-doms cannot be separated f rom its responsibil i ty to uphold those f reedoms by its own ac t ions . "

In a s t a t emen t on " F r e e d o m and Respons ib i l i ty" developed against the background of campus tension and unres t , t h e elected council of the 9 0 , 0 0 0 m e m b e r organizat ion of professors o f f e r s the active coopera t ion of t h e AAUP in seeking adherence to basic norms of professional re-sponsibili ty and academic free-dom.

Draft convictions down, Sel. Ser.

officials reveal (CPS) Figures released recent ly

by Selective Service off icials reveal t ha t the ra te of convict ion for violat ions of the d ra f t laws have fallen t o abou t one- third of the to ta l n u m b e r of cases decided for the first nine m o n t h s of fiscal year 1970.

During fiscal year 1968 (July ' 6 1 - J u n e ' 6 8 ) the rate of convict ions was 64 .8 per cent . Fiscal year 1969 showed a d rop in these figures to 47 .2 per cent , and the figures for the first three years of fiscal 1970 work ou t to 33 .6 per cen t .

Due t o the fact that the number of cases has been steadily increasing, f r o m 1,153 decisions during fiscal 1968 lo 2 ,069 dur ing the first three quar te r s of fiscal 1970, the actual n u m b e r of convict ions is increasing. In 1965 there were 156 convict ions; in 1968, 747 in 1969, 884; and in the first nine m o n t h s of 1970, 695 .

The decline in the rate of convict ions can be a t t r ibu ted to the growth of the n u m b e r of skilled draf t lawyers, the far greater f r equency of errors at overworked local boards , recent l iberalization of the laws th rough cour t decisions and the greater preparedness of present d ra f t law violators for cour t fights.

academic c o m m u n i t y imposes . . . an obl igat ion to respect the dignity of o thers , to acknowledge their right to express d i f fe r ing opinions, and to fos ter and de fend intellectual hones ty , f r eedom of inquiry and ins t ruc t ion , and free expression on and off the c a m p u s . " As a result , " T h e expression of dissent ... may not be carried ou t in ways Which injure individuals or damage inst i tut ional facilities or disrupt the classes of one ' s teachers or col leagues." .

T h e A A U P s t a t emen t calls on college and universi ty facul t ies to " join wi th o t h e r members of the academic c o m m u n i t y in the deve lopment of procedures t o be used in the event of serious d i s rup t ion , " and to ensure facul ty "consu l t a t i on in ma jo r decisions, part icularly those related to the calling of ex te rna l securi ty forces to the c a m p u s . " It encourages each college and universi ty facul ty " t o assume a more positive role as guardian of academic values against un jus t i f ied assaults f rom its own m e m b e r s . "

T o this end , the AAUP s ta tement suggests that facult ies give sys temat ic a t t e n t i o n to the deve lopment of "a more versatile body of academic sanc t ions , " including warnings and repri-mands, in addi t ion to the u l t ima te sanct ion of dismissal.

In all sanct ioning e f fo r t s , the s t a tement conc ludes , " i t is vital that proceedings be c o n d u c t e d with fairness to the individual, that facu l ty j u d g m e n t s play a crucial role and that adverse j udgmen t s be f o u n d e d on demon-strated violat ions of appropr i a t e n o r m s . "

T h e AAUP, which is headquar-tered in Washington, D. C., has for f i f ty-f ive years been active in set t ing s tandards of academic f reedom and responsibil i ty for the teaching profess ion. Its 1940 Statement of Principles on Aca-demic Freedom and Tenure, prepared jo int ly wi th the Associ-at ion of American Colleges, is endorsed by over 80 educat ional and profess ional societies and count less colleges and universities. Its 1966 Statement on Profes-sional Ethics out l ines the basic responsibili t ies of facul ty mem-bers. Both d o c u m e n t s have been approved by the Hope AAUP chapter .

It was the foo tba l l game of the

Philadelphia unde rg round radio

s ta t ion, to a foo tba l l game, and now may be a little sorry they

did. WHILE TWO O F their players

collided heads on the field, a 24 year old pacifist , Wayne Lauser, was t rying to get in to the game. The FBI had s tepped up their search for Lauser ever since the Philadelphia Bulletin had pub-lished a s to ry in which Lauser said he was wait ing fo r them to pick

him up. B u t W M M R c o m m e n t a t o r

Jerry Stevens was worried abou t his s ta t ion ' s image and w o u l d n ' t let Lauser in the game. So Lauser left the FBI to fight the f reaks on

the field.

A police van waiting on the sidelines t o o k the two in jured players to the hospital . One suf-fered a concuss ion and the o t h e r had eleven st iches in his head.

ALL WEEK LONG, radio spo ts announced the proposed game, which many people though was a joke . O n e spot in part icular riled

WHITE HOUSE PERFORMANCE—President and Mrs. Nixon pose with members of the Hope College Chapel Choir after a performance at a White House worship service Nov. 22. Choir director Dr. Robert Cavanaugh is at left. Msgr. Thomas J. McCarthy of Palos Verdes, Calif., who officiated at the service, is at right. Because of space limitations.

only part of the choir could go to Washington. Members were selected

to sing for the President on the basis on seniority. The invitation came

after a White House aide heard the choir sing at an earlier concert in

New York.

j Suggests draft at 18

Tarr considers new draft age (AP) Draft director Curtis W.

Tarr is considering asking Con-gress, on recommendat ion of his youth advisers, to lower the minimum draft age from 19 to 18.

Selective Service said the change is one of 36 suggested by 109 young draft advisers in a meeting in Washington last June.

Of the recommendations, Tarr rejected only two outright. One would have authorized psycholog-ical testing of applicants for conscientious objector status, the other would have allowed judicial review of draft appeals at state and local levels.

A REPORT from Tarr 's office Wednesday said lowering the draft age and assigning lottery numbers at age 17 might help young men plan their fu ture by removing some of the doubt about being inducted.

"However ," the report added, "it is anticipated that changes of this nature and magnitude will face opposition from those who honestly feel such action will not be in the best interest of the nation.

"Dr. Tarr has thus directed that this matter be made part of the Selective Service package of possible legislative changes which could, at the appropriate time, be presented to Congress for con-sideration."

Other recommendations either were implemented, held for fur ther review or referred to the White House and Congress.

THE REPORT SAID Tarr also is considering these suggestions:

- M a k i n g government appeal agents responsible only to the draft registrant.

- A p p o i n t m e n t of regional at-torneys " t o advise local boards, state directors, and U.S. at torneys as to the relevant law."

- L o w e r i n g the minimum age of draft board members. Tarr is considering reducing the require-ment from the present 30 years to 26.

- E s t a b l i s h m e n t of special panels to help draft boards assess conscientious objector applica-tions.

- B e t t e r public service oppor-tunities for conscientious objec-

tors doing work in lieu of military service.

- R e m o v a l of the present requirement that a man carry his draft card with him.

The proposal for psychological testing of conscientious objector or applicants was rejected upon advice from Tarr's legal counsel and after disagreement from conscientious objection citizens' groups.

Tarr refused to seek judicial review of draft appeals at state and local board levels, saying such additional delays and complica-tions "might unfairly benefit the better-educated and more affluent registrant at the expense of others ."

posal back to the AAB. A mot ion to resolve in to c o m m i t t e e of the whole was nearly d rowned in the confus ion that fol lowed the first vote, but that mo t ion was de-feated.

Three facul ty members re-por ted that they had brought specific r e commenda t i ons to the meeting. J ames VanPu t t en , Jr., Dr. J o h n Hollenbach and Jean Creviere read their s t a t emen t s and the facul ty began to consider each

A RECOMMENDATION f rom Creviere that any new ad hoc c o m m i t t e e the board might appo in t should include representa-tives f r o m nine d e p a r t m e n t s was discussed, a m e n d e d and eventu-ally de fea ted overwhelmingly .

A second suggestion f r o m Crev-iere tha t the AAB detail the " sho r t comings of the present cur-r i c u l u m " came to the f loor . Dr. Donald Williams c o m m e n t e d that 4 i see be fo re m e an a t t e m p t to nit pick away at the larger issue so that everyone who doesn ' t trust each o t h e r has his s a y . " Creviere's suggestion was de fea ted .

In one vo te the facul ty then approved r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s f rom Creviere, Hol lenbach and Van Put ten reques t ing tha t the admin-s t ra t ion of the con t rac t curric-u lum program be restudied. The mo t ion also carried an amend-ment which expressed facul ty sup-port f o r the idea of a cont rac t plan.

STUDENT WAYNE VANDER-byl was given the f loor . He ex-pressed concern on behalf of the AAB tha t the directives the fac-ulty was passing were not defini-tive. " I 've heard words tonight such as ' r e s tudy , ' ' revise, ' ' recon-sider ' and ' r edef ine . ' We've al-ready res tudied, revised, recon-sidered and redef ined . We're only so many people , and we can only do so m u c h . We've taken this (pro-posal) as far as we think we can.

We're looking for specific com-m e n t s . "

One facul ty member shouted " Y o u ' r e ou t of o r d e r . "

A mo t ion by Harrison Ryker that the dean for academic af fa i rs submi t to the facul ty within two weeks a fo rm to be used for adding r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s to the list was de fea ted . "This sounds like we could do this be t te r by having a pre-college confe rence and holding fou r open hear ings ," said Williams. He was app lauded . Dr. Joan Mueller asked, "Where have all these r ecommenda t i ons been?V

R e c o m m e n d a t i o n s f rom Hol-lenbach and VanPut ten moving the da t e of implementa t ion fo r the cur r icu lum revision f r o m Fall, 1971, t o 1972 were placed on the f loor . Miss Mueller recalled Rider ' s open ing c o m m e n t s that he cou ld override the date of imple-m e n t a t i o n if necessary. Williams s u p p o r t e d Miss Mueller in oppos ing the t w o r ecommenda -t ions, bu t Hollenbach c o u n t e r e d by saying, " T h e dean should no t be p u t in t ha t pos i t ion; we should excercise o u r own j u d g m e n t h e r e . "

There was more discussion, and several facul ty members said they w a n t e d to see the In t roduc t ion to Liberal Studies course out l ined be fo re passing on the ent i re pro-posal. T h e m o t i o n to delay imple-m e n t a t i o n passed.

V a n P u t t e n asked that the idea of academic def iciency be s tudied. " I t ' s jus t someth ing tha t ' s been h a n d e d d o w n , " he said. Presently a s tuden t mus t have taken certain subjec ts in high school, and if he is admi t t ed to the college wi thou t the requisi te background he must t ake courses to make up those areas.

A final mo t ion , p roposed in the last minu tes before the 9 : 3 0 p .m. a d j o u r n a m e n t , expressed fac-ul ty suppor t fo r the preface and ph i losophy of the proposal . The vo te was 52 in favor, 4 8 opposed .

Library's problems will stay (Continued from page I )

well k n o w n that the sub-tropical c l imate is no t conducive to the best interests of the library users, the books and especially the microf i lm. We have already lost several rolls of microf i lm due to cracking because of imprope r stor-age cond i t ions caused by the es-cessive heat and h u m i d i t y , " he added .

"IN MAY OF 1969 there was a survey taken which u l t imate ly made a r e c o m m e n d a t i o n to install a i r-condit ioning and carpet ing in certain a reas , " con t inued Whit-taker . " T h e cost for carpet ing was es t imated to have been abou t $5 ,520 , installed. The business of f ice es t imated that air-condi-t ioning would cost a round $10 ,000 . I included these things on my capital equ ipmen t budge t request last year (Whi t taker ' s first year as d i rec tor of libraries, suc-ceeding J o h n May), b u t was tu rned d o w n . I in tend t o include t hem on it again this y e a r , " he s ta ted.

If the need fo r a i r -condi t ioning in the library appears far f r o m the minds of Hope s tuden t s inter-viewed during the early days of December , pe rhaps it is under -s tandable . Several aspects of Van Zoeren ' s per iodical and b o o k holdings were the subject of com-plaints, however .

"THE PERIODICAL co l lec t ion con ta ins all the ti t les t ha t a middle-aged minis ter might r e a d , " main ta ined a senior human i t i e s major . "If y o u want any th ing of a specialized research na ture , forget it unless it conce rns c h e m i s t r y -y o u ' d almost be be t te r off d o w n at Herrick (Public L ib ra ry ) . "

A n o t h e r spoke up : " I f I 'm doing a paper on some m o d e r n poe t , I can usually f ind a couple reviews of his work , bu t I'll run in to all k inds of t rouble locat ing a copy of it ( the work ) to read fo r myse l f , " he s ta ted .

A COMMON COMPLAINT raised by s tuden t s concerned the lack of general reading mat t e r in the l ibrary. "The re just isn't any straight l i terature over t he r e , " compla ined ano the r senior.

Chancel lor William VanderLugt feels tha t the present s tate of the library is suff ic ient fo r the needs of Hope College. " O u r library is qu i te a d e q u a t e , " s ta ted Vander Lugt. " I t con ta ins the th inking of the ages. T o d a y the world changes so rapidly tha t t oday ' s informa-tion may not be wor th much t o m o r r o w . What is impor t an t is that the s tuden t s make use of the books tha t we have n o w , " he added .

"I WOULD QUESTION the necessity of adding 15 ,000-20 ,000 books and periodicals ( the a m o u n t suggested by Assistant Direc tor of Public Services LeRoy Lebbin in the first par t of this series which appeared in the last issue of the anchor) t o our library each year , f o r I feel t ha t a liberal arts college requires primari ly a core col lec t ion of m a n ' s know-ledge ," added the Chancel lor . "I would cons ider graduate schools as being more the t ype of inst i tu-t ions which would have a greater need f o r the latest works in each field.

"I was d isappoin ted last year when 1 read somewhere of the fact t h a t 6 8 per cent of Hope ' s s t uden t s felt tha t they had learned more f r o m their con tac t s wi th their fe l low s tuden t s than they had f r o m the facul ty and books . Maybe I 'm old fash ioned , bu t the value of b o o k s was always stressed in my e d u c a t i o n - b o o k s are y o u r compan ions , y o u r f r i e n d s , " the chancel lor s ta ted .

THE FACT THAT the survey showed s tuden t s learned less f r o m the facu l ty and books b o t h e r s the chancel lor greatly. "Why should we strive to mainta in a low stu-dent - to- facu l ty ratio when the record seems to show that the greater po r t i on of the Hope stu-

den t ' s educa t ion comes f r o m else-w h e r e ? " VanderLugt asks.

Still, the chancel lor doesn ' t feel tha t Hope should change the emphas is on its style of educa t ion because of this problem. "When a s tuden t comes here, he is matur-ing a great deal and cont inua l ly developing. We still should keep the emphas is on library know-ledge ."

When asked whe the r any plans had been made for a new library faci l i ty , VanderLugt replied, " T h e r e hasn ' t been m u c h talk abou t it as yet . Right now we ' re primari ly concerned wi th plans fo r the proposed academic science cen te r and physical educa t ion bu i ld ing ."

T H E C H A N C E L L O R feels t ha t the p rob l ems posed by the need fo r ca rpe t ing and ai r -condi t ioning the l ibrary can be overcome. " I t would n o t have to be an insur-m o u n t a b l e probjec t . It could be d o n e if we assigned s o m e b o d y t o work on it. I feel these th ings (a i r -condi t ioning and carpe t ing) are qu i t e necessary ," he s ta ted . "Howeve r , so far they haven ' t come u p in any execut ive council meet ings, and there isn't any th ing in the budge t f o r t hem this y e a r . "

Clarence Handlogten , business manager and treasurer of the col-lege, spoke abou t the need fo r a i r -condi t ioning in the l ibrary. "I d o n ' t feel that this is one of the more i m p o r t a n t p rob lems at hand . We are still t ry ing to t ake care of o u r bui ld ing needs and improve o u r physical p l a n t , " Hand log ten said. "We must think a b o u t the p roposed academic science cen te r , the physical educa t ion bui lding and then we still have a li t t le t o do concern ing the SCSC. We've been here 100 years w i t h o u t air-condi t ion ing . If we ju s t i fy air-cond i t i on ing the library, we could jus t as easily end up air-condi-t ioning the whole campus . F o r tha t m a t t e r , o u r o f f i ces a ren ' t even a i r -condi t ioned ," Handlog ten conc luded .

Bosman:committed naivete in a fignrehead's role r . J : * ' . m _ a _ . -T-I • Editor's Note: This week's a/7c/7or essay is wr i t ten by Junior Gil Vernon. He talked w i th Holland Mayor Nelson Bosman, and later recorded some of his impressions of the interview.

by Gil Vernon

As I and my pho tographer walked across Centennia l Park to our interview with Mayor Bos-man, I s tar ted a chorus of t4We are off t o sec the Wizard, the wonder fu l Wizard of O z . " As we were walking up the stairs of city hall to the mayor ' s second f loor o f f i ce , the p h o t o g r a p h e r turned t o me and said, " F u n n y thing, it doesn ' t look like Emerald C i ty . "

I WAS TO INTERVIEW the mayor . My job was two fo ld ; f ind ou t what kind of c i ty , in the m a y o r ' s eyes, Holland is, and find ou t about the mayor . I must admit I went to the interview with some prejudged ideas about the answers I was going to get to my ques t ions concern ing social and political problems.

I got the types of answers I expec ted . They were typical of a poli t ician and a middle American. Many t imes the mayor d idn ' t have answers, and when he did he knew only what he wanted to know. Most replies were based on what I call illusion and naivete.

B E F O R E GOING any fu r the r , you must unders tand someth ing about me and someth ing about the mayor . I wro te this essay f rom my point of view, f rom my set of values. My judgmen t of Mayor Bosman and Holland is based on my precept ion of how things should be. More impor t an t you must realize and unders tand the m a y o r ' s posi t ion. He is a part t ime chief admin i s t ra to r of the city. He is not responsible for policy fo rma t ion . The system of govern- • ment that the city of Holland uses is the counci l -manager fo rm, in which if a mayor is retained reduces him to a ceremonia l head. He also presides over meet ings of the ci ty counci l .

Nonetheless the j ob is a hard one. He receives $5 per meet ing of council - there are two meet ings a m o n t h - plus $100 for being m a y o r tor a total of approxi-mately $ 2 2 0 per year. Mayor Bosman supp lemen t s his income as a radio engineer and pari owner of WHTC.

H O L L A N D , BEING a town of a v e r a g e popu l a t i on (26 ,144) , faced many of the same problems that larger U. S. cities face. 1 began my ques t ioning with the env i ronmenta l problem. To my surpr ize much progress has been ini t iated in this area. The mayor feels the city as a whole is very "po l lu t i on conscious ' ." Construc-t ion is underway for a multi-mil-lion dollar addi t ion to the sewage t r ea tmen t plant .

H O L L A N D MAYOR NELSON BOSMAN

There is some deba te over whe the r or not this type of plant will be as cheap and effect ive as an al ternat ive type of p lant , but the point is impor tan t that action was t aken . A gas precipi ta tor has been installed in the Municipal Power Plant to cut d o w n on air pol lu t ion . The Heinz fac tory has plans to build its o w n sewage t rea tment plant . The mayor considers the envi ronmenta l activ-ists at the college an " a s se t " to the ci ty. "We are very fo r tuna t e to have such m e n , " he said.

ON TO HOUSING and discrim-inat ion. According to Mayor Bosman there are some 5 ,000 to 6 ,000 Spanish-Americans in the area. " H o w many blacks in Ho l l and?" 1 asked. " V e r y f e w , " he replied. " W h y ? " I asked. "I don ' t k n o w . "

Holland passed an open hous-ing law t w o years ago, and according to the mayor anyone can live in Holland if he wants. " T h e law is on the b o o k s , " I said, "bu t what about subtle fo rms of discr iminat ion and unwillingness on the part of realtors to sell to minor i ty g roups?" "1 just don ' t dare say , " he hu f f ed .

THE CITY'S PROGRAMS for depressed housing is not very progressive. In response to my ques t ion about what was being done , the mayor referred to the placard ordinance . The placard ordinance allows the city to inspect housing and de te rmine whe ther or not the house is in

accordance with condi t ions pre-scribed by the ordinance . If a part icular house doesn ' t meet the s tandards, the owner is made aware that he canno t sell or rent the house until he makes improve-ments . If he fails to improve the p roper ty , the house can be torn down. The act of telling people that they are living in pover ty , as if they needed to be to ld , is the only aid which slum dwellers receive f rom the c i ty .

I asked the mayor how a family of four or more living on the subsistent income of $3 ,000 per year is supposed to improve its p roper ty . His answer: " I don ' t know. Tha t ' s the problem. You have got to keep things u p . "

THE CITY HAS BEEN work-ing with the Depar tment of Housing and Urban Development for low-income housing but the project has been juggled a round for more than three years and the mayor d idn ' t "da re s a y " how much more delay there would be.

I moved t o a couple of poin ts of national interest to break the boredom of the "1 don ' t k n o w ' s " and the "1 don ' t dare says ." On

the ques t ion of campus violence the mayor was very sensitive. In reaction to Jackson State and Kent Sta te he said, " I t is too bad. No one is just i f ied in being s h o t . " When he was asked if he would handle violence in the same manner , he said, " N o , I would not . I would do everything not to do it that w a y . "

1 ASKFI) HIS HONOR what he thought about busing. He immediately explained in several sentences how a Mr. VanderKolk used to run a bus service and the problems in subsidizing it were great. Af t e r his speech I informed him that I was referring to busing to end segregated schools. " O h , Oh, Oh , I think it is good. They should bus s tuden t s when they are no more than a half a mile away and the kids that walk over busy roads should ride l o o . " I coughed and cleared my throa t . One out of two isn't bad.

Urban renewal was our next topic. Plans lor urban renewal for Holland in the fu tu re are centered around a d o w n t o w n shopping mall. The council has passed a mall in principle bu t no details have been set. The quest ion of whether or not there were some other areas that need renewal more than the down town area, such as those areas of depressed housing, was raised. The mayor replied with a hypothet ica l situa-tion. He explained that the city opera tes on a $7 million a year budget and even if the city were given $20 million it could be spent in less than a year ' s t ime. I ask the mayor what priorities might be set and in what order.

The priorities, he said, were sewage and water systems, a new water plant , equ ipmen t , a new police s ta t ion, a new city hall and then urban renewal in respect to proverty housing.

I POINTED OUT that proverty was not restr icted to problems of housing but also included educa-tion and j ob discriminat ion. I asked him what would be done about those problems. In an absolute tone , he said, "There is pover ty in all fields. I t 's too bad, but we will always have i t . " I asked him if he felt a responsibil-ity to try to el iminate poverty . " I t has been t r i ed . " he said, " T h e Bible says you will always have the p o o r with y o u . "

One o ther area of quest ion was that of city-college relations. 1 asked him if the city or townspeople considered the col-

lege a "bu r r in the saddle" in facili tating social change. His answer was " N o . " He feels the college is a valuable asset to Holland and that any town that doesn ' t have a college is missing something. He looks to the college as the c i ty ' s social conscience. He has great respect lor the work done in the areas of juvenile de l inquency, environmenta l prob-lems and by Higher Horizons.

HIS RESPECT for the institu-tion of higher learning and what it s tands for indicates that he may not be as closed minded to social change as most of us would like to make him out to be. He is not c losedminded but he is naive and unin formed.

I here is one basic d i f ference between Mayor Bosnian and most of us in the land of ideals und that is c o m m i t m e n t . He has been involved in city government for 25 years and has been mayor fo r the last ten. He is now 63 years of age and will retire f rom city government at the end of his present term in April. He is c o m m i t t e d and dedica ted .

It is easy to criticize. I t ' sha rde r to do someth ing about it. There is a little Wizard in all of us and it will take all of us to give all of ourselves if we are ever to see Fmerald City.

enrver Cod stirs himself niid moves, he seems lo provoke the earthquake shock and the tempest. It's rather like turiiiug over a huge stone in the woods and watching the vermin scatter. He disturbs the greed that wants nothing better than to sit on its moneybags, lie routs out all the evil things that like cover and the dark. Men with their arms flung un in their faces fight back at him. lie sits the world by the ears. People say it s the devil...and Jesus said it was the Kingdom of Cod."
