OLLAND, MICHIGAN 75th ANNIVERSARY —22

Hope College, Holland, Michigan

March 8, 1963

Schooling Cost to Reach $1600 Dr. John Hollenbach, Acting President, announced that tuition •will he raised $100 per year effective September, 1963. This increase will bring the yearly tuition total to $850. Room will be raised $20 per year and board will remain the same. These raises will make the total cost per student per year $1,600.

The increase in tuition fees will be used almost completely for staff salaries according to liollenbach.

As one measure for helping needy students resolve their financial problems, the college administration is studying possible increases in rates for student campus employment. These increases will be announced later.

In a study of fees of 25 midwestern colleges, the fees of Hope were the second lowest for 1962-63. With the increase of $120 for 1963-64, even if none of the other colleges raise their fees, Hope will still be the second lowest.

The median cost of education in the 25 other colleges for 19621963 was $2,025, almost $600 more than the cost at Hope.

In another study of eastern colleges, average costs for 196263 were $2,460, almost a $1,000 a year more than Hope.

By using the increases for salaries and comparing salaries a t Hope with the 25 . midwestern colleges, this will bring Hope's salaries to the median level in comparison. . The alumni fund drive currently in operation is designed to raise money for scholarships, faculty salaries and faculty research.

Hollenbach a l s o commented that at the present time every Hope student has a $200 scholarship. At Hope College the educational costs for one student per year is $200 more than the student pays. The additional money is raised through churches, alumni and individual contributions, interest on endowment and corporation gifts.

One of the colleges used in the midwestern study has already

announced tuition raises for next year. Louis W. Norris, president of Albion College, announced that tuition at Albion will be raised $200 per year starting September, 1963. This increase will bring the yearly tuition total to $1,120 and the yearly total for board, room and tuition to $1,920.

This is the third consecutive tuition raise since 1960, when tuition was $370 per semester.

According to Norris, the additional tuition will allow for an increase in faculty salaries and for additional faculty employment to provide for an expected enrollment of 2,000 in 1972.

Brandsma Calls Student Council To Re-Convene

DR. KARL A. OLSSON

Second Part Of Spiritual life Series Includes Olsson's Talk - "Refining Fire" Dr. Karl A. Olsson, President of North Park College in Chicago, Illinois, will be the guest speaker for the second part of this year's Spiritual Life series which begins next Monday.

Refining Fire Under the general theme "Refining Fire," the series will open with Dr. Olsson speaking at the regular Monday morning Chapel service. All students and faculty are then invited to meet Dr. Olsson personally at informal coffee breaks to be held at 10:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. in the Kletz Lounge.

On Tuesday morning the first of the two special Spiritual Life Series chapel services will begin at 9:40 a.m. Dr. Olsson will speak on "The Fire as Judgment."

From 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, Dr. Olsson will be available for individual student conferences in the SCA Office on the ground floor of Graves. He will lead evening discussion sessions beginning at 9:00 in Phelps Lounge and at 10:30 in Kollen.

The subject of Wednesday morning's chapel address will be "The Fire as Purgation."

Communion Service To conclude the series, a special All-College Communion Service will be held Wednesday eve-

ning at 10:00 p.m. The Rev. Gordon Van Oostenburg of Trinity Reformed Church of Holland will be in charge of the service. (Women will receive late per to a t tend).

Dr. Olsson Dr. Karl Olsson did his undergraduate work at North Park and received his Ph.D. in 1948 from the University of Chicago.

He was awarded an honorary LL.D. degree from Eastern Nazareth College in 1960.

He joined the faculty of North Park College and Theological Seminary in 1948 as professor of church history, and became the president in 1959.

Widely respected as a Christian leader, Dr. Olsson is the author of several books including

Things Common and Preferred, Seven Sins and Seven Virtues,

By One Spirit, and Passion. He is also a regular columnist in The Covenant Companion and The Lutheran Standard.

Charles A. Wallis writes concerning Dr. Olsson: "I know of no writer who so imaginatively and thoughtfully combines erudite perceptiveness, rapier - like analysis, and brilliant expression.

His manner will win the thoughtful attention of the urbane sophisticate and the devout disciple."

It is the hope of the Spiritual Life Series Committee that the series will aid students in developing a deeper religious commitment and- a clearer understanding of the Christian's role in the modern world.

Chapel Problems Arise at Alma Chapel attendance grabbed the headlines last week at Alma College.

Alma College, which is affiliated with the P r e s b y t e r i a n church, recently sent 25 letters to students stating that if the students missed more than four chapel services in the coming semester they would not be allowed to enroll next fall. Chapel meets twice a week.

Dr. John Kimball, Dean of Student Affairs, said that since 85 percent of the students attended regularly, the college could not allow the 15 percent to simply flaunt the policy.

Dr. Swanson, president of the college, s^id that he did not pretend to be unaware of many students who on various grounds object to the weekly mandatory chapel. He said that he would have to defend the present policy but, "I am prepared to say that I am wondering if Alma College is now a t a point where a voluntary chapel can become a meaningful and productive force on campus."

Albion, K College To Hold Contest Of 50-Mile Walk Albion — Kalamazoo College has accepted an invitation from the Albion student newspaper, the Pleiad, to participate in a 50-mile walkathon. Ron Milnarik, vice-president in charge of student affairs for Kalamazoo, has accepted this challenge in behalf of the student body.

Scheduled for April 6, the hike is attracting attention on both campuses. Between 20 and 25 students have already signed up in the Pleiad office at Albion.

One ambitious Briton has indicated that he plans to run the entire 50 miles, allowing for a few rest breaks.

Hope Student Council was reestablished by president Rick Brandsma a f t e r four months as concentrated Executive Council.

Last night, at the 6:45 gathering in the Council assembly room.

Hick announced his hopes for the group to "blend its ideas toward something concrete for next year."

Brandsma explained that he had reconvened the apathetic council as a compromise to solve the problems the campus faces, i.e. successful operation of the Juliana Room, the lack of participation in and preparation toward dinner-time discussions, but "not because my feelings have changed."

Union plans are being clogged because of need for a regular manager from outside the school, in accordance with the Student Life committee's dancing policy of last week. After solution of this problem, Brandsma hopes that, besides dancing and games, folk song sessions led by such campus favorites as Sue Van Ouwerkerk, Anna Stonehill and Ron Te Beest will become a part of the program.

Swanson said that to be effective the majority of students would have to attend the voluntary chapel. Also, if voluntary chapel were instituted there would be no outcry or pressure from the Presbyterian Church.

THE MOB — Friday afternoon at 2:00 Van Raalte Hall is packed from wall to wall with students waiting for something. They are waiting for the delivery of anchors so that they have something to read sixth hour in class, according to some professors. Many students grumble that they have to fight the mob, but if they come later there are no more papers. If you miss your anchor, come to the anchor office. There are more.

A spokesman f o r the Hope administration reiterated this week that Hope's position on chapel attendance is that voluntary chapel will only come about, if ever, when the student body demonstrates its willingness to attend without compulsion. Hope does not want to go religiously t h e way of Kalamazoo or Rutgers.

Physics Fund Drive Progresses "I'm very optimistic; I think w e l l make ted the Rev. A. A. Dykstra regarding: progress in the drive f o r funds f o r the n e w physics-mathematics building for Hope College.

more contributions coming in every day.

Total cost of the physicsmathematics building is estimated a t $800,000. To be built west of the Van Zoeren Library, t h e building is to be ready for use by the fall of 1964.

Dr. H a r r y Prissel of the Physics Department has pointed out some of the outstanding f e a t u r e s of the new facility. One of t h e main f e a t u r e s is the inclusion of four student project rooms which will enable students to carry on research.

Each member of the physics

faculty will also have his own room f o r personal research projects. Dr. Frissel reports the President-elect Vander Werf, upon seeing the plans for the building, was particularly impressed with this feature, especially since it will give students a chance to participate in more advanced work.

Flexibility will be assured by t h e providing of folding doors between many of the laboratory rooms. Space is also being set aside f o r a computer facility, which will be managed by the Mathematics Department.

Speech Contest Ahead State speech competition lies ahead f o r several Hope College orators next weekend, March 15 and 16, on the Eastern Michigan University campus, at Ypsilanti, Michigan.

Debate Team Faces Ionia Squad Hope College played host to the Ionia Reformatory debate team, the only prison team in t h e country which travels to college campuses f o r debates, on Thursday, March 7.

Herb Tillema, John Stapert, Mary Ten Pas and Jane Van T a tenhove were the Hope debaters against this unique team, which consists of four inmates of t h e Ionia Reformatory.

Raymond Monte, debate coach and speech teacher at Ionia High School, who accompanied the four man debate team, commented t h a t his prison team has had surprising success against such schools as t h e University of Michigan, Michigan State, Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan, and Alma College.

"The Hope debate team plans to r e t u r n t h e debate in April at the reformatory in Ionia, Michigan," announced Hope debate coach M. Harold Mikle.

SnS?

In the extemporaneous speaking event, contestants will draw topics and then speak on one of three subdivisions of the general topic, "Cuba and World Peace," one hour later. Representing Hope in the men's division will be John Crozier and in the women's, Mary Ten Pas. Participating in the Peace Oratorical Contest will be Paul Swets, whose oration is entitled "Bootstraps and Moonshots" and Thelma Leenhouts, who will deliver "The Crack in the Wall."

In these state contests there will be prizes awarded in each event of $25 for 1st place, $15 f o r 2nd, and $10 f o r 3rd; prizes will be provided by the Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias.

The "Extension Chords" began singing together in high school and have now been singing f o r ten years throughout the United States and Canada. The professional quality ingrained in t h e group during these years is evident in the f a c t t h a t they have been Michigan District Champs in barbershop competition and three times International Finalists.

The "Chord Counts" of Holland have also been Michigan District Champs and twice International Finalists. In addition, this versatile group once sang f o r President Eisenhower, and the quality of their harmony was good enough to get them a three week stint in "The Music Man." The lighter -side of barbershop will be presented by the "Spartanaires," the "Comedy Champs" of Grand Rapids. While t h i s quartet admits t h a t they have never won in championship competition, they still cheerfully remain the self-styled "Four Bums of Barbershop."

Topping off the "Highlights in Harmony" program will be the "Windmill Chorus," ; Michigan District Chorus Champs and I n ternational Semi-finalists. This group f r o m Holland is part of what is considered to be one of the finest chapters in barbershop and is rapidly gaining the r e p u tation as t h e busiest chapter around.

At noon, the group received a dinner which Jean said contained foods which were not available to the general public so t h a t the visitors would supposedly not become aware of the shortages of meat and fruits.

Gerrit Wolf discussed the attitude of the people whom he described as presenting a f r o n t of quiet resignation to their future.

"In general," he stated, "the Czechs are better off than they have been in their recent history."

Jack Jenner, who visited Russia during the late summer period of Russian nuclear test r e sumption of 1961, said he had acquired four general notions about the people of the Soviet Union: 1) The Russian people lead highly disciplined lives. 2) Their clothing is of poor quality and limited quantity. 3) The people rarely hear of what is being done by even their own government. 4) They (the Russian people) have not developed any type of competitive nature between themselves; the only competition which they enter into seems to arise from international sports events or the Cold W a r struggle.

HOPE CHURCH Hope Church Invites You to Share in the Following: FROM THE MINISTER'S NOTEBOOK "There used to be a gospel hymn when I was a boy that had a chorus which kept saying, 'Hold the fort, for I am coming.' I got so tired of holding that fort! I sang about it among very so-called low church friends and looked around; but nobody came. The next Sunday I looked around among the high-church folk thinking that God perhaps might prefer the somewhat more classical traditions of their church music; but nobody came. And for a very simple reason; God was there to begin with."

Inter-Frat Group Alters Two Laws The Inter-Fraternity Council met Monday afternoon and passed two amendments to the constitution, discussed Informal Initiation and selected two members to represent the Council at an Inter-Fraternity workshop.

Jim Riemersma and Jim Bekkering will attend an I n t e r - F r a ternity Council workshop at Adrian College on March 15 and 16.

The amendments passed included one whereby any fraternity may exceed its 75 man limitation a t the end of second semester bidding by the number of seniors they will have graduating. It is hoped that this will enable all fraternities to fill their new homes.

The second amendment passed will prohibit first semester freshmen from rushing. This was done to give new men time to adjust to academic college life before taking on the added responsibilities of fraternity life.

The Knick brothers would like to take this brief moment to wish "Buddha" a safe journey home and to express the hope that he will return to Hope in the fall.

ALPHA -GAMMA PHI Alpha Phi and Chi Phi Sigma merged talents Friday night in a joint meeting. The Alpha Kadians, a unique singing group, made their debut with the premiere of a musical masterpiece. Ron TeBeest continued the illusion with several more traditional selections.

The evening was climaxed with some humorous thoughts of the Neal Aldritt variety.

Alph Phi expresses its thanks and appreciation to Marti Workman for doing a great job as Sing director.

PHI KAPPA ALPHA Last Friday night the Cosmos had a joint meeting and pre-sing party with their sister sorority, the Delphi's. After the singing of the numbers planned f o r the Sing, a humor paper was given by Sue Spring and refreshments were served.

The Fraters wish to congratulate the Cosmos and the Arkies on their fine Sing performances.

Sorority Rushing To Begin Following Spring Vacation Flurries of minute meetings, plans for spring parties, checklists, datebooks and rule sheets will mark preparations for the spring rushing season of Hope's six sororities.

Announced by the Pan-Hellenic Board last week, sorority rush this spring will fill the month of April, beginning two days after spring vacation, with final bids coming out on April 27. In the three-week period, each sorority will plan opening and final teas, a coffee break, a "mixer" and a literary meeting around some theme.

Definition?

At present, about 275 Hope v/omen — sophomores, juniors and seniors, are members of sororities; each of six sororities has a quota of fifty members.

The history of sororities at Hope dates to several "literary societies" which • began in the first decades after the college was chartered. T h o s e Hope "gals" gathered to read Shakespeare on Friday nights, or present their musical or oratorical talents, even adopting "noms de plume" which provided some mysterious roll calls.

Since 1920, sororities on campus have increased from two to

six, while the newest group.

Kappa Delta Chi, was chartered last spring. In the past two rushing seasons, openings have been available f o r every Hope woman desiring sorority membership.

In a modern definition, "Sorority," says one Pan-Hellenic member, "is time and effort spent for people who are worth it!"

Programs of each sorority presently include, in addition to Friday night literary meetings, activities which vary widely.

House parties are held spring and fall, usually at a home on the lake; date nights provide opportunities f o r "dune schooning," beach parties, tobogganing, or pizza parties.

Service projects, joint meetings, Homecoming floats and alumni gatherings, formal and informal dances complete the sorority calendar.

By the end of March, freshmen women, along with upperclassmen who wish to rush, will register as rushees. Pan-Hellenic members will meet with all interested women during the last week of March to discuss and clarify principles and requirements of Hope's sorority and bidding system.

A Parent Speaks to the Book Store (Editor's note: The following article by Mrs. Rachel Vanderwerf, wife of Hope's President-elect, is reprinted by special permission from the December-January, 1962-63 issue of The College Store Journal, official publication of the National Association of College Stores, Oberlin, Ohio.

There are six potential College Store customers in my family.

Although some of them will not show up in your places of business for a dozen years or more, I already am heading them your way.

Why? Because I want you to make book collectors out of my children.

I am sending my six to college to get a genuine, solid gold, thought provoking education . . , an education which distinguishes between ideas and things, between values and money, between books and stuffed animals.

Where better than in an upto-the-minute Bookstore can a freshman learn the excitement— and importance—of puting his own money on the line for a stimulating intellectual adventure? i Don't tell me this is a job for professors! Part of it is, of course, but college is a total experience . . . a twenty-four hours a day business. College is lectures, recitation, laboratory work for only fifteen to twenty hours a week.

In the other one hundred and fifty hours, college is sophomore shenanigans, football rallies, first love affair, the assumption of new responsibilities f o r oneself and, with your help, a growing appreciation and desire f o r the tools of learning . . , books.

And don't tell me this job belongs to the libraries! Again, part of it does, of course. Libraries always have been the seedbed of thought and civilized people should fall on their knees in gratitude for them. The Ages

would doubtless still be Dark without those medieval monks who toiled in monasteries to proserve manuscripts for us.

But today, with inexpensive books, there are two kimfe of libraries . . . public and personal . . . and the modern educated man knows he needs the second as well as the first.

Years ago my father taught me the delights of book ownership. With unlimited access to the volumes on his shelves, I realized early that father's neatly penciled notes in margins were not only incisive commentaries on many an author's ideas but also an illustration of the way books work f o r their owner.

A thinking man's library needs to be a t his elbow, on a standby basis, constantly ready f o r use.

Somewhere along their student lifetime I want my youngsters to discover what an opportunity it is to own books.

Books are the biggest bargain in the world today. A few dollars invested in a book gives a student the privilege to study and know the most superb minds in the world, the churning, creative brains that are doing the edge of spacetime thinking which is stimulating, exciting; literally turning every facet of our civilization upside down.

A dinner, even a t $16.50 Chateaubriand of beef, is soon eaten . . . a three-button, ivy league sports jacket is soon threadbare . . . a shiny, sleek, high horsepower car—and a t our university well over fifty per cent of the students have cars—is soon out dated and in need of repairs . . .

but a book and its ideas will last forever.

As a child the most interesting family I knew lived in a house which looked like a Bookstore at inventory time. There were books on the tables, the chairs, the floor, even on top of the old fashioned icebox—inside, too, for all I knew. Where these people found room to sleep I couldn't imagine, but they were fascinating and I loved to visit them.

They talked about Henri Berg>son, or Henrik Ibsen r or Henry Adams, not, like some of their neighbors, about the price of pork chops or the shape of Mae West.

Books can provide anyone with the intellectual excitement these people knew. And I am counting on you to see that some of this mental turbulence brews in my children as they browse among

"A Shade of Difference," (Doubleday^ 677 pages $6.95) is a moving portrayal of men in the UN, struggling to find an answer to the terrible human problem of hatred, where Ma shade of difference" becomes a threatening shadow of death touching the entire world.

by Gerry Wolf Allen Drury, author of Pulitzer prize winning Advise and Consent, has done it again in writing his second "Pilgrim's Progress," A Shade of Difference. This second morality play in three years comes off grandly on the world stage of international politics in the fish-bowl on New York's E a s t River. The story becomes one of morality as America's number one domestic problem of race relations is intertwined with the in-

Nor Serve Them But the image. When our interest in our neighbor has shrunk to a concern only for what he thinks of us — for our image — all true social communication ceases. He does not talk to us but to our image ourselves; and we talk not to him but to our image of him.

College is reduced to a gathering of practicing solipsists. Deans present images to students. Students present images to teachers. Fraternities present images to townspeople. Townies present images to students. Students rebel against an imaginary administration and chapel speakers face crowds of imaginary students. Rushees hold up big flimsy images to the eyes of fraternity men. Vice versa too.

The last sphere of life to fall is religion itself. I know many students, deeply religious, who nevertheless attend chapel only for appearance's sake. It is the unspoken concern for the "image" that has gradually driven a wedge between the public and private life of each of us. I know many students who have no private life at all — who have never

in their lives had the slightest idea that they are capable of thinking and acting as individuals.

One final reflection is inescapable: to what images have these columns been addressed?

"When parents are ignorant, when professors default, when administrators are lethargic, you can strike a telling blow f o r education.

"Stand up in the college community and fight for space, for money, for time, for whatever you must have to do your real job of getting books and students together.

"You're needed!

"Oh, how you're needed!"

ternational problem of independence f o r African States seeking freedom. In this plot the antagonists and protagonists fight the moral battle.

In Drury's highly lucid and sweeping journalistic style reappear some of the characters from Advise and Consent, which took place in Washington D.C., around and in the Capitol. Painted on a gigantic scale, which becomes prolix but never tedious, the principal characters are brought to the fore, while the minor characters are quickly introduced only for the purpose of keeping the story moving.

Harley Hudson, from Michigan, who ascended to the Presidency in the closing pages of Drury's previous best-seller is the sagacious Chief Executive. The Majority Leader of the Senate is still Bob Munson. The loquacious iron man of the Senate, Orrin Knox, is now using his oratory as Hudson's Secretary of State. And Seab Cooley, the senior Senator and southern gentleman from South Carolina, keeps fighting a persistent battle f o r the "old order."

The two main new characters are Negroes: Representative Cullee Hamilton of California who

becomes the real hero of the drama because he is first an American and only second a Negro, and His Royal Highness Terence Ajkaje, the seven-foot black M'Bulu of M'Buele, known since his Oxford-London-Harvard days as "Terrible Terry" and, in his towering fearsomeness, represents the Africans, who is the red villain.

Terrible Terry, who seems to have most of the "humanitarians" on his side with his overt wishes for freedom and rights f o r his race, shrewdly capitalizes on Southern racial conflict by personally intervening and in t u r n supplies an opportunity f o r a monstrous effort by America's enemies of all shades to humiliate her in the eyes of the world. The insidious motivation is shown when he confides: "I think that there is an element in your society that enjoys being insulted by foreigners.

Only with much backing down and concession as led by Cullee Hamilton, who is physically and psychologically torn between militants of his own race and his love for the United States, is the problem solved. While the antagonists in this quarrel play selfish games with the world a t stake, Cullee Hamilton who profoundly struggles f o r courage to do what is right says: "You can run and (Continued on page 7) .

Fellini's Nihilism Rebuked

Another Winner for Drury

by Jim Michmerhuizen And so finally we sink to the worship of images. When we have forgotten who we are, what we are and where we are going, we begin to depend on others to tell us. Just as the individual student is aware, when his own life is purposeless, only that it matters much what other people think, so in the life of the institution (whether ghostly life that is) we are aware not so much of having lost our bearings as of caring greatly about our reputation; our image.

When I have no vision I depend on the vision of others; what is their image of me? What can I do to improve it?

There is thus little to be commended in our concern, here at Hope College, with images. That "concern" amounts in most cases to an utterly spineless yearning for the approval of others — alumni, parents, constituency.

That "concern" is a euphemism for lack of confidence, for fear.

"But hold on," someone says.

"We do live in a society, after all. A man can't go through life in total ignorance and disregard of his neighbors."

Book Review

Notes From The Underground

/•

the shelves of your stores.

Book collecting, it is true, can dominate a person's life. It takes time, some money and worlds of thought. But how rewarding!

The man who knows and loves books never will be a bore, either to himself or to others. His interests are bo^ind to be too catholic, too well developed, too wise in the ways of humanity.

Book lovers never will be out of touch with the real world of people for good books are distilled knowledge: instant experience.

Voracious readers need never face t h a t distressing problem of the educated specialist . . # knowledge in depth without knowledge in breadth . . for books can orient all who read them in an infinite number of dimensions.

You and I understand that this is what education is about . . .

This editorial is a commentary on the lack of meaning one finds in Fellini-type films like "La Dolce Vita," the beauty of which lies in the simple fact that its people are disintegrating, "precisely because they can find no meaning in life." Cousins points out that this human disintegration ib due to a poverty of values and not to a serious but vain search for meaning in life.

A man who lives in a mood of perpetual disconnection, who sees no lines to yesterday or tomorrow, who is unable to see himself in others or others in himself, who has never learned to care or serve . . . such a man is in no position to demand answers to meaning in life. "No man can question the striking display of dramatic power in the work of Fellini, but one can certainly question the thesis that his films are essentially portrayals of individuals in quest of meaning.

Such a quest would be far more convincing if there were any real

possibility that the people in his films would recognize meaning if they actually saw it."

There is no real love for life in Fellini's films. Before man can ask the deeper questions about the mysteries of life, he must have respect and even reverence for the prize of life. The shiftless characters who stagger through Fellini's films, Williams' plays, and Durrell's novels are in no position to undertake responsible speculations on human purpose.

One can attempt to vindicate these characters existentially, but "existentialism is more than meaninglessness a n d aimlessness." Existentialism in "La Dolce Vita," as one example, "ceases to be a responsible philosophical exercise and becomes instead a wasteland of human tissue and emotion." These people lack perspective in finding their own beds at night to say nothing of finding their own destinies in life. "They lack the sense of wonder and awe that is the first tentative step toward fruitful contemplation. They seem to be total strangers to any of the spontaneous delight or pure laughter that lights up a child's world and provides some initial condition-

ing at least for the somber arena ahead."

"La Dolce Vita," is not superrealistic; it is rather a caricature of life which loses contact with the capacity of man to preserve and enlarge his dignity. Cynicism and ennui are the easiest literary and cinematographic materials to deal with. IT IS FAR MORE DIFFICULT TO DEAL WITH THE EPIC POTENTIAL IN THE HUMAN MIXTURE, FAR MORE DIFFICULT TO DEAL WITH THE INTERIOR STRUGGLE BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL, EXHILIRATION AND TERROR, AWARENESS AND DEFEATISM. "La Dolce Vita," does not give one a portrait of life. "The human arena n a y be a drag. Right now it couldn't be more dangerous."

However, in the human arena is found the highest prize in the universe. "The main question before humanity is not the meaninglessness of life but rather how to mobilize human intelligence and feeling in the making of a better and safer world." My only question is, why isn't the community of scholars at Hope College aware of the meaninglessness in Fellini's not-so-human arena?

ANCHOR MAIL Responsible letters, regardless of * opinion, a r e welcomed and will be published. They should be no longer than 200 words, submitted by noon Wednesday, and signed. To conserve space, editors have right to edit.

In the March 1 edition of the Hope College anchor, a young man, who's name I will not mention f o r f e a r I may embarrass him, wrote a touching little note.

He asked if Hope College is still different and if it is still a church school. Well, I can assure him that it is different, quite different, and I have heard nothing to the effect that it is no longer affiliated with the Reformed Church.

This young man and a "responsible citizen," as he referred to him, seem to believe that such things as Hope's permitting dancing and pictures of Hope students smoking are definitely two things which should not be advertised. I feel it my obligation to inform this young man, the responsible citizen, and all others who may think as they do, t h a t neither the act of dancing nor the practice of smoking is bad, evil, or un-Christian. So don't be so disappointed when you hear of or see students of Hope College smoking or dancing because both are completely irrelevant w h e n determining whether or not one is a good Christian or whether or not Hope is a good Christian school.

As for the "responsible citizen" who vowed that he would never again give Hope College one cent, I will not ask him to reconsider his view. However, I will ask him to reconsider his evaluation of Hope College and the two issues of smoking and dancing. Dancing is a fine healthy social activity, and smoking, perhaps not so healthy, is a legal practice t h a t one undertakes for his own enjoyment.

Perhaps the day will still come when this society will devote its efforts to discovering and teaching t h e true values of Christianity, and throw away its stupid by-laws consisting of: Thou shalt not smoke. Thou shalt not dance and Thou shalt not drink. This idiocy is blocking the road to discovering the true Christian belief. So let the next article be devoted to discovering t h a t belief.

Coming Events

Frats' Future Social fraternities are slowly on the way out according to a study and editorial in this week's Look magazine. The reasons provided for the unacceptable posture of national f r a t ernities today are only slightly applicable to Hope's f r a t s . But Hope's f r a t s are under going changes because of pressures from the administration and pressures from rushees, of which there have been fewer each semester.

This spring, the all-out rush by the f r a t s may be a turning point.

To summarize, national f r a t s are becoming passe because the college man now demands more of college life, his education and his fraternity than just social life. As said before on this page and elsewhere, students of the sixties, although not brighter than their forefathers, are better prepared for college and more interested in contemporary affairs and problems that confront mankind than their fathers. A fraternity can be a place f o r intellectual rigor and vigor. Nationally f r a t s will survive only if they recognize this fact, according to Look.

Hope's fraternities might take a tip from this article and live closer to the values on which they were founded, ie. social, moral and intellectual values. The Friday night literary meetings have often degenerated into vulgar trivialities, with little attempt a t intellectual challenge. With the formation of the Forensic Union maybe f r a t s will renew intellectual values and compete in debates on campus and national issues.

Some honest appraisal through this system could be made of: Chapel, Drinking, Morals, Hope's intellectual goals and Politics of liberal vs. conservative. From this process could evolve some positive changes of the college archaic and martyred rules.

In the area of college rules and morality

Drury (Continued from Page 6) run and run away down that long dark street, and a t the end of it you know what you are still going to find? Yourself."

Drury has tackled a rough problem. He pictures the UN as dominated by a hot-headed AfroAsian bloc, which has chosen to censure the US f o r its discriminatory racial practices. Drury faces us with the human conceits of hurt, pride, selfishness, bitterness, opportunity and heroism as the rules in deciding the balance of the "shade of difference" between races. All sides of the question are heard: aging Seab Cooley, struggling Cullee Hamilton and the militant Afro-Asians. In the middle of this battle f o r human dignity on a scale that determines human history Drury asks, who is working f o r the betterment of all mankind? Whatever the answer, it is not easy f o r anyone who tries. And he wonders if anyone outside of the West seriously is.

Drury seems preoccupied with the necessity f o r the UN to justi f y the hopes of mankind, (he dedicates the book to those who

there is much t h a t could be discussed, and changed or agreed upon by the frats. The administration has stated a number of times that some of the fraternities have been running at "cross-purposes" to the college's values.

This year the college has wished to do something about these cross-purposes and, at first look, should be congratulated on an honest confrontation of issues.

But the trend to talk and confront has at times seemed only apparent. Apparent in the sense, that the only terms the fraternities can come to are the admihistration's. Rules, instead of values a r e being held before the frats, who are being told to adhere to the rules or else the fraternities do not have to be a part of the college. It seems that the f r a t s must be responsible to a strict code. The fallacy is that the college and f r a t s fall into the same pharisaicalness that the college's constituents do as they talk about smoking and dancing at Hope.

Hope's f r a t s are f a r from being moved out like their brothers a t the national level, and should and can become strong with the new housing units next year. But they must live and adhere to the values on which each of them was founded, that of the development of the responsible individual. But if the learning experience of the 50 men who will be living in each of the new fraternity dorms is kept at the elementary, pavlovian level of ringing a bell and adhereing to a set of rules, the f r a t s and individuals in the f r a t s are still going to be 21 year old children and not adaptable responsible adults. Hope f r a t s are beginning to feel that pinch of responsibility, but this can be destroyed either by the f r a t s , if they refuse to face values and live by them, or if the college does not exhibit any t r u s t except at the "bell-ringer" level.

work in the U N ) but in actuality he knows the workings of good and evil within those transparent walls. He colorfully portrays the move and countermove between the West and Communism as it poses peril to the West through the UN. He also shows the utter folly of neutralism in the face of this peril.

At the bottom, Drury proclaims boldly there are such things as good and evil in this world and that they often contend day a f t e r day on the floor of the Secretariat and in the Delegates Lounge of the UN. While many cannot even see a fuzzy line of difference in the contest between world powers, Drury again shows the contestants, and the root of the problem: men who put self and country above man's good, that good on which the UN was idealistically founded.

The UN will only succeed when words of the tragic Hal F r y are followed: "It is a privilege to live this day and tomorrow . . . and yet, perhaps, how sage a counsel to give the troubled world to see it through the strange unhappy circumstances devised by its quarrelsome sons, and they fail to find in hatred the salvation they might, had they but the courage found in love."

MIAA Basketball Reveiwed

HONORS — Besides being elected Most Valuable Player on the Hope team this year, Jim Vander Hill (right), along with Glenn Van Wieren,was elected Wednesday to the first string All-MIAA starting team. Senior center Gary Nederveld was voted honorable mention.

"Spider" Vander Hill Chosen Hope's Most Valuable Player Jim "Spider" Vander Hill was voted Hope's most valuable player by his teammates, and enters competition for the Randall C. Bosch award as the most valuable player in the MIAA. Vander Hill, co-captain of this year's team with Gary Nederveld, won the league scoring championship for his t h i r d straight year. This season he scored 272 points in league action while scoring 261 and 292 in the two previous years.

Possessing a variety of shots, he was best known for his long jump shot which he hit consistently. Because of his many different moves, he was a tough man to guard and many times degree in community recreation.

WAA Basketball Closes Season The Women's Athletic Association at Hope College finished their basketball season last Saturday, defeating Hillsdale College's WAA 44-22. The victory gave the Hope women a 3-1 season record. Daughn Schipper scored 22 points for Hope in the Hillsdale contest.

T h e first WAA basketball game this year was held on Feb. 9 against Olivet College. Hope out-scored Olivet 41-27. Forward Daughn S c h i p p e r scored 22 points while forward Sally Kooistra scored 6.

On Feb. 16, Alma College's WAA came to Hope and lost to the Dutch girls 37-33 In this afternoon's game Schipper and Kooistra scored 27 and 6 points respectively.

he led Hope's fast break attack.

His future basketball plans will be to play amateur ball next winter. He has been accepted for graduate work at Springfield College in Springfield, -Mass., and will be seeking a Masters.

"We enjoyed w i n n i n g the close basketball games and also we enjoyed our trip to California — as far as the t e a m is concerned, w e just had an enjoyable season.

Most of the fellas are now going out for either track or baseball, but everyone still feels like playing basketball."

As Hope College's head basketball coach, Russ BeVette, leaned back in his chair to open a window, he continued, "There are two reasons which account for our success this year. First, this is the best team which Hope has had in recent years as far as being able to come back from behind. Second, the team had the ability to play well regardless of the circumstances." Coach BeVette pointed out that week after v.eek the team was confronted with new and various defenses geared to stop Hope's unpatterned play-making, but whether against a zone defense or a boxzone with a "chaser," Hope consistently performed well.

Continuing to reminisce over his team's perfect 12-0 MIAA

record, BeVette said, "We knew all along that our success would depend on everyone and not on any one player. The league championship was truly a team effort. To go undefeated in the league is a real tribute to this team. To win in spite of the lags which inevitably occur is really great and in itself says a lot for this year's team."

Thumbing through the scorebook, Coach BeVette stated, "One of our great strengths was the ability of our substitutes to go into the ball game and give us performances equal to the regulars they replaced. There were a number of times this happened.

Right now I remember Bean Overman against Kalamazoo, Art Kramer against Calvin, Ron TeBeest in many games, Roy Anker against Aquinas, Chris Buys against Adrian and Calvin, and Chuck Veurink in California.

"Of course our strong core was Gary Nederveld, Glenn VanWieren, and Jim Vander Hill. These fellas lived up to their expectation, performing better than they had ever performed previously.

Ron Venhuizen continued to play regularly for us again this year rnd has developed a great ability in bringing the ball down court against a press. Clare VanWieren

stepped into our regular line-up early this season and immediately became a real threat."

Coach BeVette was asked why we lost so many of our non-conference games, while winning all our conference games. He answered, "Considering the size of our college, Hope plays the toughest non-conference schedule in Michigan. But, this is good for both the team and the college.

Our non-conference schedule often takes us outside of Michigan — even to California this year.

"We try to schedule teams with as good a record, if not better, than ours. We usually split our non-conference games, but this year Concordia, Wheaton, Valporaiso, and Taylor were just too tough for us. We were able to match both Concordia and Valporaiso point for point until we lost in the final minutes of each game.

"The MIAA as a whole this year, as compared to other years, was real poor. Not one league member had a winning record outside of the MIAA. We had 2 wins and 7 losses outside the MIAA, Calvin had 1 win and 7 losses, Kalamazoo had 3 wins and G losses, and Adrian had 2 wins r.nd 6 losses."
