Turnover rate explained
Marker accounts for new profs by Marcy Darin Despite deceiving appearances and the anchor's extensive two part introduction of some 23 new faculty members, Hope maintains a "healthy and not alarming turnover rate" according to Provost David Marker. " O F COURSE, I value both new and old faculty, but any good school needs a vital faculty with different perspectives and background," he explained. The 23 person influx represents a total of 11 permanent appointments, including two new positions authorized this year in the geology and communication departments. Marker stated, "The faculty has been kept at a fairly constant size." HE REPORTED no staff cutbacks in departments, with the exception of one still unfilled teaching post vacated last year in the French department. Faculty loss due to resignation was estimated by Marker to be about 5 percent. "This is in no sense an excessive rate," he explained. "An ideal faculty is one which can move to better positions, although we would selfishly prefer if they wouldn't do it," he added. EIGHT FACULTY staff "did it" and have left the Hope com-
munity in favor of posts ranging from a conductor of the Detroit Symphony (Philip Greenberg, former assistant professor of music) to a commune lifestyle in Oregon chosen by Caroll Lehman, a fellow assistant professor in the music department. Other missing nameplates on office doors are those of former Professor of Religion Robert Coughenour now at Western Theological Seminary and John Anderson, formerly of the geology department who is currently on the teaching staff of Reis University. PRESIDENT Gordon Van Wylen echoed Marker's sentiments on faculty resignation and stated that while the number of resignations vary each year, "the total this year seemed to be unusually large in comparison with other years. "We try to create an environment, rewards and compensation system to encourage faculty to remain, but we ultimately are concerned with the best interest of the professors," Van Wylen continued. IN ADDITION to the permanent appointments, an overview of new faculty includes several one-year appointments of "visiting" status to replace those members of the staff on sabbatical
leave. Marker noted an unusually high number of faculty eligible for sabbatical this year due to "the rapid expansion of the college seven years ago and corresponding jump in faculty hiring." Faculty members with tenured status are eligible for sabbaticafi leave after six years at Hope. Every following seventh year they have the option of taking another sabbatical. Unlike positions with "visiting status," other temporary appointments of one year "carry the option of renewal," according to Marker. COMMENTING on these one year appointments. Van Wylen explained that such a contract "allowed the college the time to find the right person for the vacant position." He cautioned that this policy sometimes creates the illusion of a higher turn-over rate. Projections for next year's turnover figure will involve the final decision of five current faculty members denied tenure last spring. "The exact impact those decisions will have on the faculty is yet unknown," Marker explained, "because it is possible that some will remain on the staff in untenured positions."
The Ottawa County Department of Social Services has recently received new food stamp regulations from the U.S. Department of Agriculture for students living outside of their parents' home while attending college. THESE NEW regulations require that a determination be made on the tax dependency status of students applying for food stamps. Also, the extent to which the student is supported by his parents must be documented. Jerri Elsinga, director of the Holland food stamp program said, "The students will be required to s\gn a form concerning their tax status "THE STUDENTS will also have to cooperate with us by giving us the address of their parents so that we may contact them." After the department is provided with the address of the student's parent or guardian, a five page questionaire, "Tax Dependency and Financial Eligibility Statement" is mailed to them for completion. THE APPLICATIONS for food stamps can be approved only upon receipt of a properly completed report. Failure of the parents or guardian to return the report constitutes grounds for a determination that the student is ineligible. Applicants ^ are assured that every possible effort will be made to see that all applications are processed within thirty days. ELSINGA NOTED, "This is a federal and state mandate in an attempt to buckle down on those who try to take advantage of the food stamp program." Students are reminded that a prompt disposition of their appli-
cation for food stamps will be facilitated by bringing any documentation pertinent to their circumstances while attending college. This would include rent and medical receipts and evidence of other mandatory expences, as well as verification of income and resources.
Farm workers hold elections The United Farm Workers have seen at least one of their demands become a reality, as last week about 20,000 farm laborers in California voted on whether they wanted to be represented by a labor union. * The UFW made an impact last year on campus when many students called for Saga to support the boycott of non-UFW lettuce. In the UFW's quest to improve the conditions of farm workers, one of their goals has been the provision by law for free elections to determine union representation. Last week's elections were held under a recently passed California farm-labor law and supervised by a government agency. According to Newsweek magazine, "In preliminary tallies of the week's 51 secret ballots, the UFW held clear leads at the weekend in 24 contests while the Teamsters were leading in fifteen elections." The full results of the elections won't be known for several weeks as many have been disputed and are headed for legal action.
Van Were explains new title, new duties This year, Elaine Van Liere's previous title of Director of Student Residences was changed to Coordinator of Student Life. She says that her job changed little, as the title change provided only a slight alteration in her job responsibilities. The main purpose of the title change was to clear confusion, "as many people thought I was a housing director." In essence, her job involves working with the staff of the campus residences, she said. This includes RA selection and training, working with the staff of the 25 cottages, holding evaluation conferences with the head resi-
dents, and organizing the co-op housing program with the cottages. Along with this. Van Liere's duties include assisting Dean of Students Michael Gerrie with housing assignments, planning a fall workshop for the residence hall staff members, and acting as head resident of Dykstra Hall. At the moment. Van Liere is spending most of her time working with co-op housing. "I am excited now about co-op housing becoming a reality, and having fewer housing assignment responsibilities lets me place more time on working with the staff," she said. .
Congress officers state goals for coming year by Tim Mulder The school year is less than one month old and already a new Student Congress has been elected. Vice-President David Teater is optimistic that the student body will challenge their representatives to be an active congress. • TEATER expressed the hope that, "Students should get to know the represen. tative in their district, and go to him when they have complaints, ideas, or suggestions of things that can or should be done on campus." Jim Donkersloot, president of student congress, echoed Teater's desire for student input. He said, "Congress can be an effective liaison between the students and the administration. The administration has already taken steps to show that is desires a change in relations with the Congress. "THERE IS a willingness to work with us, to us us as the sounding board of the student body." Examples cited by Donkersloot of the ways in which Congress acts as liason are its appointments to a new Librarian Search Committee to help find a replacement for Lee Lebbin, and its appointments to the new Public Safety Advisory Committee. The committee is responsible for advising Public Safety on policy matters, reviewing the fine system and crime in the dorms.
"A MAJOR question that I think this committee should deal with," Donkersloot stated, "is what does j o o m privacy mean, and under what conditions can a student's room be entered without his permission." Concerning a matter closely related to room privacy. Donkersloot asserted that, "It's time for Hope to differentiate between its ideals and its policies concerning student life. Realistic policies could help solve some of our residential problems." THE MORATORIUM of silence over the Beran plan for self-governance has been lifted and hopefully the Campus Life Board will once again be discussing its implementation. In response to Dr. Marker's comment in last week's anchor on grade inflation Donkersloot said, "I'm not sure I'd call the majority of students getting good grades 'grade inflation*. Most students come to Hope with at least a B average and it's mandatory that they maintain at least a 2.0 to graduate. "IN LIGHT of the pressures of grad schools ?ind the tight job market it's no wonder students are working hard for good grades. I hope to be able to have Congress compile a booklet, written by Hope professors from various departments, about what they think some of the vocational opportunities for the new graduate will be in their particular field."

JIM DONKERSLOOT
Donkersloot continued, "After all, even the liberal arts student has to do something after graduation." ONE OF Donkersloot's major goals for this year's Congress is to- offer students opportunities for involvement. "If a student is interested in something and there isn't a club or organization to do it," he stated, "then I hope Congress can help that student get that club or organization started. "Last year the student response to the P.E. drive was fantastic. That's understandable when you consider that over 50% of the student body is involved in some kind of sports program on campus. I think it's important," Donkersloot said, " f o r the student to know that the project is still going, and that hopefully the P.E. center will be completed before this year's freshmen graduate." SOMETHING else that received enthusiastic student response last year was the Great Speakers Series. Dave Teater announced that Art Buchward will be here October 9 for the Community Hour, and that next semester Gene McCarthy is scheduled to speak. Suggestions are still being accepted for a third speaker, and may be submitted to Teater. Donkersloot concluded his forecast of hopes for Congress, by saying, "It's time to get programs moving instead of just rhetoric."

History prof spends summer researching in Greece by Barb Brainard In 1974, Assistant Professor of History Dr. Wilson Strand published the Voices of Stone which covered the history of Cyprus until the 4th century B.C. This past summer, Strand participated in a one month seminar, sponsored by a grant from Hope in Athens, Greece. His main purpose while there was researching for his second book which will cover Hellenistic and Roman history. The library he used was the Organization of American Archeologists. This was a typical model of a European library. In order to research inside the library, one
fcon profs present paper Associate Professor of Economics Douglas Heerema and Assistant Professor of Economics Melvin Harju presented a paper to the Atlantic Economic Society Meeting in Washington, D . C l o n Sept. 12. , * Their paper proposed a different method of economic analysis than traditionally employed. This new method • enables economic analysis to explain and predict such behavior as extremism and terrorism. Alternative means of effectively altering extreme behavior were sugigested by the model.
had to have a key for entry. Only scholars received them, and no books could be checked out. Before his research could even start, Strand had to be sure that enough material existed. Strand spent six days a week buried among the shelves of books. However, he plans on returning to Athens next summer with the desire of doing research on Cyprus and Turkey. The money that is received from Voices of Stone plus the monies from the second book will be invested in a grant for a Hope student as a 4 Greek incentive* scholarship, allowing that person to study in Greece for a summer. When asked how he applied his research to his classes, he replied, "In my history courses, I lecture from the knowledge I received and also around the community, I give lectures about the Hellenistic history." While in Greece, Strand took trips to the islands of Paros and Thera. Archeologists have a theory that the island of Thera is the island of Atlantis. Supposedly, this mystical island was to have existed in the Atlantic Ocean, west of Gibralter and to have sunk into the sea. Strand agreed with the experts saying, "The excavating going on at Thera reveals such magnificent pottery and art work. If Atlantis still exists, it is Thera." Also Strand made a trip to Paros. There he visited two graduates of Hope. Their life style is quite primitive. Every day the wife takes the donkey down to the village to load up on supplies. They have no electricity or running water.
But, according to Strand, "they are contented and planning to live there the rest of their lives." During the time spent on Paros, Strand was given the opportunity to meet the great dancer, Vassos Kaneilos. This was an exceptional occasion for Strand because he is interested in ancient Greek dances as compared to the 20th century dances. • During their conversation. Strand mentioned that he was from Holland, Michigan. Come to find out, Kaneilos had performed in Holland for a women's club. Strand engaged in other 'fun* research by visiting different schools in Greece. "Grecian schools vary in types," he said. "Peirce College is a typical American type while Greece, Inc. is called the college without walls. "An interesting practice there," Strand said, "is that the students choose a subject, and then go and find a faculty member that they would most like to teach it to them." The highlight of the summer seminar was when Strand was appointed to the Board of Directors of Greece, Inc. He will'be involved in setting the policies and choosing courses to be taught. After next summer. Strand will be starting to put his second book together. This second book and Voices of Stone are the only two of their kind covering the specific history of early Cyprus, Rome and Greece. He is interested in researching this era because he feels that "the time period has been neglected and there are many more remains to be found by archaelogists."

Along came a spider and sat beside Brady Professor of Biology Dr. Allen Brady was the recipient of an unusual cargo recently. rial. BRADY, a member of the faculty since 1966 with research interests in the systematics and zoogeography of spiders, received a consignment of 50,000 preserved spiders from the American Museum of Natural History, New York City to assist him in undertaking an identification revision of the spider family Lycosidae. The specimens, preserved in alcohol, represent the collecting efforts of numerous field biologists over the past 75 years. The American Museum of Natural History has the biggest collection,of spiders in the world and the loan to Hope represents the largest single loan of spider specimens in the museum's history. THE LYCOSIDES or wolf spiders are of considerable ecological importance in a variety of habitats since they feed on other arthorpods, such as insects. In spite of their biological significance, however, no major study has been made of the larger members of this family since 1908. Brady, with the aid of Hope
graduate Bill Witzel, spent the summer sorting unidentified mateOnce t£e preliminary sorting int0 genera (groups containing a number of related species) is accomplished, more detailed studies individual species will be made, TWO HOPE students. Bill Ross and Beverly Vanderstar are involved in this phase of the project. The entire revisionary study will probably require 5-10 years to complete and will serve as a foundation for future investigations in ecology, physiology, and zoogeography according to Brady. Although most of the speciments are from North America, there are representatives from every continent and many islands. In recent years these spiders have been used in zoogeographical, physiological, and behavioral studies. Although several South American wolf spiders are poisonous to man, none of their North American relatives are known to be dangerous. These spiders are very common, wide-spread, and often difficult to identify. Brady holds both the bachelor and master of science degree from the University of Houston and a Ph.D. from Harvard University.

The early 60's escape was pot. By 1968 it was esoteric religion. Not surprisingly the TO's was characterized by Jesus and booze. BUT THIS year we get one of the more expensive habits that the youth market has been able to ^indulge in, a college education. Why are so many young people returning to college this fall? Students returning to institutions such as Hope must adjust to, "being a declining rather than a growing industry more quickly than previously thought. "However, as a result the decline will be more gradual and continuous, ameliorating the shock of the mid-1980*8, when the number of people of • college age will fail due to the 1960*8 decline in birth rates.** ALTHOUGH ONE finds an overcrowded situation in the dorms, and most financial ends of Hope still in the black, this is misleading in terms of future operation of the college. The response of increased enrollment this year will be shortlived simply because the inflated costs are quickly out-pacing the abilities of individuals to afford payment. , THE STUDY at MIT further states that the decline of instutitions such as Hope is neither temporary nor cyclical as a phenomenon. "Underlying the collapse of the college job market is what promises t o be a long term change in the supply-demand balance due to several factors.** The study points out that the demand in the economy for educated personnel, after two decades of rapid growth, has leveled off. Further, those areas which have not declined in demand have been just barely able to keep pace with employment. NEXT TO a low demand for college, trained individuals is a high rise in the supply of these individuals competing in the job market. Large numbers of college age individuals opted for college in the late 1960*s. Many more of these students opted for graduate school and are just now entering the depressed job market. To extend this problem, today less people are opting for the grad school route or even the B.A. way. THE CONCLUSION of the study in terms of what the prospective student can expect is, "Barring unforseen increases in demand for college graduates, their relative economic status is expected to deteriorate moderately or remain at present depressed levels until the end of the decade." The effect upon institutions of higher learning would seem to be devasting. With the practical base for enrollment in such institutions as Hope, removed, that is .the ability for upward economic mobility, one must begin to question; how do we sell education? IN THE past few years Hope has been paying more in lip service t o the Liberal Arts tradition, while in actuality the academic structure is being modified to gain supposed broader acceptance to keep enrollment up. For example, a strong Liberal Arts program places heavy emphasis in study of the classics, which in turn is dependent on a strong background in languages. Current policy has de-emphasized the language program by instituting ,a kind of cultural history substitute.
A SECOND example is the current tussle to maintain the senior seminar requirement' under more direct control of the religion department's auspices. The logic seems to be to give the religion department one last chance t o convert the humanists and agnostic scientists before they crusade out into the real world. WHAT IS actually at stake is the ability to product the most academically rigorous programs which will challenge the senior to integrate the experienced disciplines of four years at Hope. At this point, it is the courses labeled Ind St. Course on the course selection sheet which create the most conducive environment. ON THE administrative side the biggest need for justification, rather than platitudes, is in terms of expansionistic policies. In particular, the policies seem even reckless with the decline of higher education. To return to the MIT study, the prospects of funding the future operation of colleges seems dubious, much less to construct new edifices. "SMALL PRESTIGIOUS schools that have grown slowly in the past might be able to raise tuition fast enough to cover costs. Those depending on state funds are likely to find increased appropriations difficult in the face of falling enrollment. • Endowment income (which Hope is trying to raise) is unlikely to rise as rapidly as costs.** But there is hope for colleges to survive if they make quick and decisive decisions. At Hope it may even settle the factionalization between faculty members and the divergent goals of these groups. ACCORDING TO the MIT article in Change, colleges can use one of two programs to maintain enrollment. The first is to strengthen the Liberal Arts tradition. This would attract those students who have the finances so that they can yield, "salable skills to come to treat education solely as a commodity for consumption, possibly on a part time basis.** THE OTHER alternative is to keep abreast of the job market and develop a vocational program that would run concurrent with a traditional program of courses that would entitle one-to a B.A.. - For Hope it means getting off the fence and into the thick of the battle. It means the end of lipservice to Liberal Arts while quoting statistics of job placement at the same time. IT ALSO means a clear cut choice of following one of the two programs mentioned above or to develop a third alternative. • A'dtear academic program for the future would allow faculty to make a choice to either stay and be a part of a program or join one which suits their academic philosophy better. I'D XIKE to end this piece with the conclusion of the article I*ve been using, The Declining Value of Education. "Because of the lags inherent in education, the time to make these decisions is now. The jolts are going to be hard in any case. "There must be changes not only in our institutions, but in our attitudes toward education and social mobility as well, as young people realize that education is less likely to provide the source and simple path t o status and affluence that it once virtually assured. "The structure and purpose of American higher education will have t o be re-examined, and there is yet little evidence that such a fundamental re-examination is now under way, either in private or public quarters.*'

Elaine Van Liere's title was recently changed from Director of Student Residences to Coordinator of Student Life. T o make this transition, go beyond the titles, some basic changes in Hope's student life po'icy will have t o be realized. 7A
Currently, there is no solid residential program at Hope. Of course the staff responds to complaints and maintenance concerns. We have our one fire drill per year, and we also have RA's on each floor who talk to students when approached by them. There must be a firm commitment to residentiality. With a sense of community present on each floor or in each cottage, there will be a better basis for student interaction.
WMjs
As coordinator of student life. Van Liere must provide training in human relations. A one day seminar on human relations is not sufficient. A constantly progressing program to train the head residents and RA's is what is drastically needed for completion of residential life.

ttiii uttK?
In order for Van Liere to achieve this goal, she must be trained, extensively, in the area of human relations. There is a need f o r administrators to see students as peers, not as a big mass to be controlled. We must have people who honestly care about the RA's and the students and how their life is going. Two people who have admirably achieved this are Chaplain Hillegonds and Dave VanderWel. Both men have become experts at eliciting student response and showing that they honestly care about the students at Hope. Rather than saying "No, we can't do that; it's against the rules," these men will say, "Let's sit down and see if we can't figure out a way to do that."
Home, Sweet Home
Van Liere's office must serve an important function, so that this may be realized. She must be trained and also train her staff to be facilitators of the educational process. Residentiality at Hope will be achieved only if we are able to successfully integrate the classroom learning with the social learning that occurs in the dormitories. Being responsible f o r 1500 people living on campus is no small responsibility. By taking hold of the situation and providing leadership where it is needed. Van Liere and her staff may achieve this goal.
Beginnings of a snowball The supreme court of Massachusetts recently ruled that laws barring the public use of profanity are unconstitutional. Their decision ruled that the First Amendment protect an individual's right to say anything he likes unless it incites violence. We applaud the court's decision. Laws against what one can say represent just one of the many areas where government has overreached its bounds. The history of the United States seems tO'be an accumulation of cumbersome laws, rules and regulations. We are happy t o see that at least one court has realized that the role of government has gotten out of hand. The Massachusetts court's decision, coupled with Alaska's supreme court decision to allow possession and use of marijuana in one's home, are steps in the right direction. President Ford has made much recently of the need to get big government o u t of the private lives of Americans. Allowing the individual the freedom to make decisions that only a f f e c t him, as these court rulings do, is the best way to put government back where it belongs.
WASHINGTON-One of the ways colleges are saving money is t o make Christmas vacations longer. Some schools send their students home in the middle of December and tell them not t o come back until February. While there has been a great deal written about the high cost of education in the United States, very little has been said about the high cost of maintaining a student when he or she is not in school. TUPPERWARE, my neighbor, told me, "The schools in this country are not doing their job. The whole idea of sending a kid to college is t o get him or her away from home as long as possible. Now in order to save money, they're giving students longer and longer vacations, and it's breaking me. 1 can hack the tuition and 1 can afford the allowances and their books and clothes, but 1 made n o provision for all the time they have at h o m e . " " I know what you mean," 1 said. "The Christmas vacation is costing me more than a bachelor of arts degree." "WHEN I WENT t o school," Tupperware said, "we got a week off at Christmas and a week in the spring, and then we finished in the middle of June. Now the vacations are so long the school year is considered an interruption in the curriculum." "Well, at least you get t o see your children when they're home for such a long period." "WHO SEES t h e m ? " Tupperware said. "Leonard sleeps all day and goes out all night. Mary is in Sarasota-I think, Fred is

Student criticizes rally oo this institution Kno Since 1898, has Vtn^ had, as part of its tradition, an event known as the "pull". It has grown f r o m a rowdy free-for-all to an event of precision, strength and discipline. It shows, in its very existence, this college's ongoing atmosphere of challenge, sportsmanship and fun.
I am sDeakine speaking of acts which sent three people to the hospital and defaced numerous buildings. The "pull" and its preparation is t o be eiyoyed. Ei\joy it, but let's not let this event become another kind of rowdy free-for-all; namely, one that hurts instead of helps. If this is the "pull's" destiny, then maybe, after a 77 year history, it's time that it end. David Blauw

Pccc^t * The Physics-Math building was started. * Two members of the Hope faculty, James Prins and Henry tenHoor received their doctorates. * President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas. After learning of his death, 900 students spontaneously gathered in Diment Memorial Chapel to pray. * During 1963, the administration agreed to permit women students to stay out until 12:30 on weekends. * The heating plant next t o Carnegie Gymnasium was erected to heat the new fraternity complex. * Gilmore Hall was being constructed on the corner of 10th and Columbia. The building was named in honor of Christine Van Raalte Gilmore, daughter of the Rev. A. C. Van Raalte, founder of the college.
PHYSICS-MATH BUILDING-Construction continued as rapidly as possible in 1963 on Hope's $800,000 Physics-Math Building.
Ian gives the music world 'a taste of her intellect The following is written by junior Jim Lampert. He reviews Jan is lan's most recent album Between the Lines, available on Columbia records.
I:
(
Back in the late 1960's, when crossing racial lines for anything other than a street brawl was considered strictly verboten, a fifteen year-old girl wrote a song entitled, "Society's Child." THE STORY of a black boy in love with a white girl, it dealt with the disdain and snobbishness thrust upon them by the ultra-suburban, middle-class socialite society around them. For Janis lan, the songs mean a change from highschool poet t o star-struck performer. It took her seven years to collect and piece together a collage of memories called Between the Lines. BY FAR her finest work to date, Janis deals with the emotions of love, hate, and people thrown together and apart by frustration, friends, and moral questions. She paints a portrait of the odd-fellows who live around her: the cast of players who stay home at night feeling sorry for themselves, women who walk the street, and people looking for someone or something to love them. AT LAST Janis lan has given the musical world a taste of her real intellect, something which the down-trodden and losers of* the world can sink their teeth into and savor the flavor of the soul-searching lyrics she offers up. As an artist, Janis has grown up in both experience and musical expertise. The blend and perfection, not seen in most artists until they have been on the circuit for quite some time, subtly eases the listener into the gentle moods and soft orchestration by not overwhelming him with dissonant chord patterns or intricate weavings seen in many artists who try using a full band for the first time. JANIS' poetry cuts through the brass and string background, completing the picture and framing it with perfect harmonies. Each song is an extension of herself, revealing a part of her personality seldom seen. Janis works on b o t h guitar and piano, then goes on to arrange the melodic parts of many songs. SHE IS a total artist, involving herself in
all phases of production. She has shed her "coffee-house" image and burst forth as a serious contender for the most "together" performer in quite a while. The album is a technical wonder, the blending and mixing done with the utmost care as not to disturb the poetic quality which Janis puts across. Her voice ranges from a high, clear soprano to her normal moving, Judy Collins-like alto. THE ALBUM is a mixture of satire and frustration. The characters intermingle be-, tween personal thoughts and social values, portraying each in questions and comments. " A t Seventeen," the single which was the introduction for the album this summer, portrays the bitterness which has become the trademark for the album. "I learned the truth at seventeen That love was made for beauty queens and highschool girls with clear skinned smiles who married young and then retired.. . " The falseness of friendship and cliques made up of the elite in society is portrayed in materialistic terms and monetary propositions. "FROM ME to You," also from the first side, gives the story of the social climber caught up in a sweeping movement of thought-changing people. "The people who surround you only want to see you weak enough to crawl They'll lie for you, decide for you and buy up all your rights and wrongs. . . " There are pseudo-love songs asking why people cannot take love as a real emotion rather than as a game. "The Come On," a cut from the second side, tells of two people at a party who want .to be together yet wish to start out slowly. AFRAID TO love without first knowing how far the relationship will go, Janis throws out introductions in formal tones, working from there into a plea for love with only a true love in mind. This party atmosphere is taken up in the first song, "When the Party's Over." The questions put across at the beginning serve as starting points from where the love can. grow. YET, ONCE love has grown and flow-

ered, Janis points out that people can get to know each other too well. The title cut, "Between the Lines," takes the listener into the minds of two people who have been together long enough to realize that words no longer express what they feel inside. The world looks so clear to those who view it from a picture-perfect point of view, but once the reality and hopeless situations come out into the open, the characters can only live between the creases and shadows that others do not see. "We'll live a quiet, peaceful time between the lines, and go t o g e t h e r . . . " THE FRUSTRATION of people who have lost something and cannot find a replacement is brought out in two back-toback songs. "Light a Light," and "Tea and Sympathy" tell of women who have been separated from their lovers and now find themselves alone in the world. . The former tells of a homecoming; a woman coming back t o reconcile a love

which she walked out on, while the latter relates the tale of a woman who has experienced all that she can and has no further use for life. "It's a long, long time 'til morning so build the fires high And now I lay me down to sleep forever by your side. . ." WITHOUT THE lover around, each of these two women find themselves at odds with the world. One tries to bring it back; the other only wants to join her dead husband. A third alternative is offered through - another song. "In the Winter" tells of a woman's mistake at letting a man walk out on her, then finding him back to visit with his wife. She can only pass the time by listening to the radio or calling Dial-APrayer to get some kind of conversation going. SHE TOO has given up on love, yet has resigned herself to living alone. Three possibilities are offered, each with its own problems and sub-plots to take care of. Throughout the album Janis treads where many artists fear to go. Her opinions on relationships and sarcasm on love tend to label her as an "anti-man" person. Yet, it takes an album such as this to bring to light many of the problems which face people together. THERE IS such a creature as a prostitute who hkes her work, and there is the real possibility of people getting caught up in something which they find they have no control over. The "other side" of people is shown in her songs, and her lyrics give the whole story, unlike many contemporary artists who only shed the better half of the story. Janis has proven that love can be a bitter experience, yet controls her emotions in gentle music and subtle poetry. Her focus is on the shadows, rather than sunlight. IN SEVEN years Janis Ian has done what many are still looking for. She has taken personal experiences and transformed them into tangible realities for everyone t o learn from. "Between the Lines" is a culmination of much hard work and harsh events leading • up the putting down on paper and recording what she has learned. She has become a master in her own time, to be studied and pondered over like fine clockwork.

Fast talk can save you money at Zeeland auction By Kenneth Lobb Most people don't like a lot of fast talk, but there are two likeable fast talkers in Zeeland who . sell their wares at dirt-cheap prices ... . every Wednesday evening. THEY SELL desks for $2. Chairs for $1. Television sets for $5. And the only trick is to understand what they are saying.

With a quick wit to go along with their quick tongues, the two Van Hills faithfully sell everything under the roof to each highest bidder. A good kitchen table and set of chairs might go for $12; a good broom will run a quarter or halfdollar. After bidding against a guy across the room, you might buy an e i ^ t - p i e c e set of silverw^e for J2.5(1 Either way it makes sense t o attend and check out the bargains for yourself. MANY LOCAL residents hang out at the weekly bidding battleground t o meet with friends or to get a laugh, because the Colonels indeed are the masters of entertainment in this small community of 4,700. But many bargain hunting young couples, college students, and other serious auction customers can also be found among the usual crowd of about 300. "Make it eleven dollars, eleven, eleven, eleven, eleven, eleven, bid is eleven, eleven, eleven," shouts Colonel Gary, selling a bright red excercise bicycle. COLONEL DOUG, standing on the other side, sees a woman shoot her paddle into the air. "Yep!" Gary continues, eyeing the audience carefully for potential exercise bicycle buyers.

finally getting a chance to relax after the show. "Bathroom fixt u r e S ) u s e c i s hoes, car parts, that's about it." BOTH GARY and Doug are full-time auctioneers. Gary has ^een working in the same building for all his 18 years, but on days other than Wednesdays, the Van Hills auctioneer on the premises of area houses, doing a lot of special auctions such as "antique, and office equipment, o t h e r time is spent at the Van Hill furniture store, taking in items and preparing for Wednesday. " Y o u see, we have three busi the nesses going: llCddCS 5^1115. the tltv auctions, u a used car furniture store, and lot," Gary said, "1so we keep pretty busy." the OLDER Colonel explained that commission rates y a ^ with each different auction, Qn Wednesday nights, they take ^ 25 per cent of what is sold. "1 always had a desire to be an • auctioneer," Gary said. THEN HE went on t o explain how he and Doug got t o be known as "Colonels." " I t ' s an honorary title which some auctioneers like to use. It goes back to Civil War days when the Colonel in the army had the job of auctioning the horses." DOUG, WITH dark hair and a moustache, said he always wanted t o be an auctioneer, tob, " n o doubt with the influence of my father." He started at age five, parking cars at the furniture store, and has been into full time auctioneering for eight years. "I don't see any special talent that is needed to be an auctioneer," Doug said, a little weary from a long night. "I went to school to learn the trade. You don't have to go, but it's just like anything else, you'll go to school if you want t o be good at what you like." FOR THE Van Hills, this school is the Repperd School of Auctioneering in Indiana, of which both men are graduates. They are a l s o . members of the National Auctioneering Association and the Michigan State Auctioneers Association. Now it is 11:30. Only a few are left talking in the large room, the one in the rear t h a t has the converted church pews, the room which was a bundle of excitement two hours earlier. The Colonels are beat. Gary slowly picks u p an empty coffee cup f r o m the floor and Doug sips his fourth Dr. Pepper.

Dutchmen slaughter Anderson
41-0
Awesome, baby, simply awesome. Hope traveled over 200 miles to Anderson last Saturday. The Ravens wish they had never arrived, as the Dutchmen covered nearly as much ground on the gridiron itself. HOPE'S "questionable" offense amassed 408 yards while scoring a whopping 41 points. The renowned Dutch defenders totally stifled Anderson's feeble attempts to score, yielding less than 100 yards in total offense. The net result was a beautiful start for what looks like a banner football season at Hope College. THE RAVENS lost the opening toss and things went downhill from there. In their very first series Hope, utilizing a crunching ground attack, marched 70 yards with Bill Blacquiere plunging over from the one to cap the drive. Quarterback Tim Van Heest engineered two other scoring drives culminated by touchdown runs of one and fifteen yards by Blacquiere. Jim Miller converted 2 out of 3 PAT's to give Hope a 20-0 lead at intermission. ANDERSON probably made
its biggest mistake by returning to the field for the second half, where it was promptly blitzed by a 21-point third quarter. Kurt Bennett (who along with Bill Blacquiere, gained over 100 yards rushing), Van Heest, and Mike Skelton all tallied for Hope increasing the lead to a lopsided 41-0. VAN HEEST drew the praise of Coach Ray Smith in his first varsity start. <4We couldn't be happier with his performance," said Smith. "He moved the team well and ran the option well. The entire offensive front did a fine job." Hope's defense, superlative throughout the contest, was particularly effective in the third quarter, forcing turnovers and making a shambles of any Anderson attempt for a comeback bid. THE FOURTH quarter, a scoreless deadlock, saw many changes in Hope's lineup as substitutes entered the game and a few starters were tried at new positions. The final whistle sounded with Hope on Anderson's one yard line, marching toward another score in a tremendous opening
September 19,1975 game victory. IT LOOKS like more gravy for the Hope Gridders this Saturday. The Dutchmen open their home season seeking to continue their domination . over Concordia Teachers College of River Forest, 111. Hope has won the three previous encounters between the two schools, outscoring the Cougars 82-20. CONCORDIA is a much-improved team this year, however, as evidenced by their season opener. In that game the Cougars ran up a 35-0 lead on Beloit, Wis. before sending in the scrubs. "We expect a bigger challenge from Concordia than Anderson," said Smith. Defensive tackle Arde Ramthun agrees. "The Anderson game wasn't quite the test we needed," he stated, noting that Concordia is a "totally different team from last year" and will be a lot tougher. THE COUGARS defenders employ a split four, a set-up which has caused the Dutch some problems in previous years. "Traditionally our offense has had trouble blocking against this type of defense," says tri-captain
Dave Yeiter. "But this year I don't think it will give us too much trouble." YEITER IS backed up by Lew Ten Have who states, "This fall we have worked less on defense and spent a lot more time working against a 4-4. We'll hie able to handle i t . " With Wheaton and Olivet coming up next, are the players looking beyond the Cougars? "I don't think so at all," says Ten Have. "They've improved a lot and have a good passing attack. We won't be looking ahead." "We won't take Concordia lightly," adds Ramthun. "We'll be ready for them." TOMORROW will mark the first home game in Hope's history in which all the able players will not suit up. A new NCAA rule has established a 60 man limit, while the Dutch currently have close to 70 men on the squad. Visiting teams are limited to only 36 players. The players are excited to be playing at home and are looking forward to the game. Says Yeiter, "If we do what we should do, we'll win quite easily."
Women's volleyball team eager to start season Even with the lack of a large number of returning varsity players on this year's volleyball team, the ability of the newcomers should fill the gaps. A large number of new players are bringing with them a higher level of skill due to high school experience and coaching. Members of this year's squd are Sue Ahlgrim, Mary Ellen Aufderheide, Carol Jo Burge, Cheryl Burke, Sandy Burke, Ann Crandall, Sharon Kooistra, Mary McKie, Sue Rieckhoff, Tammy Schuiling, Jean Swanson, Jodi Thurston, -Chris Ventre, Kerry
Soccer team beats GRBS The Hope Soccer team soundly defeated Grand Rapids Bible School here at Van Raalte field Wednesday, 6-1. Scoring for the Dutch were Yuji Takarada (2 goals), captain Glenn Swier, Juan Ramirez, Mark Holtz and Renze Hoeksema. "We expect the Purdue-Calumet game to be a good one, a game where we'll get an accurate idea of how good this team really is," stated Coach Glenn Van Wieren. "Although we beat them last year 4-1, the game was closer than the score indicates. It was n o t a slaughter," Van Wieren noted. One indication of the two team's closeness was the number of shots on goal by each. Hope lead, but only 27 to 20. Still, Van Wieren is optimistic and enthusiastic about the game and the season. "I'm more excited with these guys every day!" he said. "We've had a lot of different guys score goals, not just one or two."
Golfers lose first match Hope's golf team lost its first match of the season, bowing to a tough Albion squad, 416 to 412. Albion won the dual meet portion of the 1974 season, but finished second in the league after the conference meet.
Van Keulen, Jan Wallace, Chris White and Debbie Williams. Coach Sandy Parker is being assisted by Hope graduate Marti Colenbrander. Parker is enthusiastic about the team as the caliber of skill has improved since past years. Parker also mentioned she is "looking forward to working with these girls because of their high level of self-motivation." Talking with some of the returning players, one will find they are excited about the season and are eager for it to get underway. They also feel that with the extra practice time being devoted to working on the "universal," it is hopeful that the strength and stamina of the team will be increased. According to Parker, "The whole team would appreciate school support during this season." The home schedule for this season is: October 9 - G r a n d Valley and Calvin, November 3 - A d r i an and Kalamazoo, and November 1 2 - L a k e Michigan College.
