Electrical system installed by Laura Bradshaw An underground electrical sys t e m was installed on Hope's campus last summer at the cost of about $227,000. THE SYSTEM should provide a more even voltage, making electricity more consistent and saving the college approximately $40,000 per year. Before t h e installation of t h e new s y s t e m , each m e t e r on campus had to be read seperately by city employees. According to Mr. Emery Blanksma, director of maintenance services, who supervised the installation, "Now we only have one meter so we can buy electricity at the lowest rate the city can offer." BLANKSMA HOPED that the installation of t h e new s y s t e m would not only save the College money but also beautity t h e campus. "There won't be any more large transformers on poles, there will also be less problems with electrical storms," he said. Installing the primary system took t h e e n t i r e s u m m e r and restoration work for the grounds is still in p r o g r e s s . Blanksma admits that restoring the campus

Knots tied in Truck Route by Ericka Peterson T h e t r u c k r o u t e problem in Holland is yet unsolved, but people a r e showing concern and doing something about it. A group of Holland residents have combined their efforts to form an organization called The Holland Neighborhood Association. DOUGLAS HEEREMA, associate professor of economics here at Hope, is one of t h e seven originators, or "steering committ e e " of this group, and he explained to this r e p o r t e r t h e HNA's purpose and objectives. The HNA's basis is their belief that the people of Holland have a d i s t i n c t and unique community, that it is a delightful place to live. There is a two-fold reason for this distinction: 1) Holland has experienced a healthy economic development, but 2) without the usual deterioration that has resulted in o t h e r cities. Most communities make a choice between a healthy economic d e v e l o p m e n t and a decent place to live; the Holland Neighborhood Association desires to preserve both of these assets. THE I S S U E t h e HNA is concerned with right now with the truck route problem. They believe t h a t allowing t r u c k s to d r i v e through will dfstroy the character and charm of downtown Holland, without enhancing the economic situation.
They have developed and presented the Holland City Council with a plan for a truck route that would follow the perimeter of t h e city. This r o u t e , they feel, would prove economically beneficial without destroying the character of Holland. THE HNA HAS also done a benefit cost study on this problem, and presented it to the Council. They have thoroughly researched
all concerns, contacting state and federal officials, directors of local business firms and their parent companies, and various civic organizations such as the Human Relations Council and the Board of Realtors. A news release concerning this issue was presented by the NHA last Wednesday, and was covered by three western Michigan television stations, local radio stations.

and t h e Holland Sentinel. The general reaction was particularly favorable, owing partly to the fact that the HNA is making such a constructive effort to solve this problem.

UPDATE:
Hope salaries compared by Liz Wright Luke 10 states, 4,A worker is worthy of his hire." Although this statement is undeniable, it is also r a r e l y fulfilled. T h e A.A.U.B. bulletin of '75-'76 c o n f i r m s t h a t Hope educators are no exception. The a v e r a g e s a l a r y of H o p e ' s faculty is substantially lower than the average salary of faculty at state institutions, such as M.S.U. THE FOLLOWING A.A.U.B. data employs the average fiscal income of each rank of Hope and M.S.U. e d u c a t o r s , a n d e x c l u d e s compensation. Full profs at Hope earn $18,200, while full profs at M.S.U. earn $23,500. The income of H o p e ' s a s s o c i a t e p r o f s is $15,100, and associates at State make $18,400. The salary of an assistant at Hope is $12,600 while M.S.U. assistants earn $15,000.
President Gordon Van Wylen stated that "Each year we try, as a minimum, to provide an increase in the average facultv salary which is at least equal to the increase in the cost of living." The President added "This year we are trying to rovide an additional increase in acuity salaries." "THIS INCREASE," according to Van Wylen, "is needed to make our salaries more competitive with those in comparable colleges, and to offset the loss in real income which the faculty suffered during the period of very high inflation.' Years ago. Dr. Fike, associate professor of English, said he is "not in the teaching profession to make money" or for "an elaborate l i f e s t y l e . " H e a d d e d t h a t he "doubts that many teachers are here to attain money. They are doing what they enjoy and have felt a calling for."

Parisian sculptress visits The Hope Art Department had a s its g u e s t at a s y m p o s i u m meeting on Wednesday evening, September 22, a Parisian sculptress, Caroline Lee. Lee presented a program to our students illustrated with slides of her sculpture. She also talked about what it is like to make a living as an artist in France and her sources of ideas. Lee, w h o s e p a r e n t s Mrs. & Noble W. Lee, live on Lakeshore D r i v e , Holland, is in Holland completing a sculptural commission for the Emhart Corporation, New B r i t a i n , C o n n e c t i c u t . T h i s steel sculpture, titled "Wheeling Bird" is 7 feet high. Lee, who a t t e n d e d t h e A r t Institute of Chicago and traveled to F r a n c e on t w o F u l b r i g h t
Grants, has made Paris her home for the past 18 years. She has had one-woman shows in France, The Netherlands and Sweden. She has shown widely in France and has had many commissions in France. Lee has had r e v i e w s and l i s t i n g s in m a n y m a g a z i n e s , including Art International, and is represented in many private and museum collections in the United States, The Netherlands, Sweden and France. The program by Lee was the f i r s t in a s e r i e s of colloquiums planned by the Art Department for its s t u d e n t s . T h e next s y m p o s i u m will be a d i a l o g u e between students and the Hope Art faculty concerning their works on e x h i b i t i o n in t h e D e W i t t Cultural Center Art Gallery.
The Presidential Debates have proved that there is a counterstatistic for every statistic. At Hope, we have statistics which we like to reel off like computer print outfe. For example, in tne last ten years the cost to attend this institution has i n c r e a s e d 110%: $1700 in 1965-66 to $3575 in 1975-76. However, there is a counterstatistic that needs to be mentioned. In the last ten years at Hope, running parallel with rising costs, yet outdistancing cost, is financial aid for students. From 1965-66 to 1975-76, financial aid has increased in d o l l a r s , 508%. As with t h e Debates, please draw your own conclusions. COLLEGE AID RE-AUTHORIZATION BILL NEAR PASSAGE T h e H o u s e and S e n a t e Conf e r e n c e C o m m i t t e e is close t o finishing its compromising on the appropriations bill that would give life t o e x i s t i n g financial aid programs. As of this week, certain s e c t i o n s of t h e bill a r e still unresolved. The conferees have not decided to accept the Senate's proposal to raise the ceiling on the Basic O p p o r t u n i t y G r a n t s f r o m $1400 to ilSOO a year. Also, t h e c o m m i t t e e of 31 congressmen and two senators is undecided over the starting date for new guaranteed student loan b a n k r u p t c y l a w s . This new, a c c e p t e d p r o v i s i o n will r e q u i r e students to wait five years after
leaving school before they can declare bankruptcy and default on t h e i r g u a r a n t e e d loans. This provision will become law either i m m e d i a t e l y upon p r e s i d e n t i a l approval or in 1978 fiscal year.
Faith a n d F i n e Arts Next week Hope's MOCP office will be sponsoring a series of four discussions concerning "Faith and Fine Arts". The discussion leaders for this series will be: Monday, 6:00-7:00 p.m., Maxine DeBryun: movement/dance; Tuesday, 5:30-6:30 p.m..

THE OTHER SIDE OF STATISTICS
FIKE B E L I E V E S t h a t w h a t Hope educators want is "a fair and j u s t s a l a r y so t h a t he and hiS family can live in dignity." He feels t h a t H o p e h a s fulfilled t h e s e w i s h e s of t e a c h e r s , " t h r o u g h a tradition of fairness." Dr. Beach, professor of psychology said that he expects to "see an increase of salaries in the n e a r f u t u r e , which is long o v e r d u e . " A c c o r d i n g to Beach, "the fiscal income of full professors should be strongly emphasized for two reasons." He said " T h e r e is a b i g g e r d i s c r e p a n c y between the income of Hope's full profs, and the income of full profs at other institutions." ALSO, AN i n c r e a s e d s a l a r y would "encourage associates and a s s i s t a n t s t o s t r i v e for h i g h e r ranks." Without a significant fiscal raise in the income of the higher ranks, Beach is afraid that Hope may be able to attract the best, but not keep them." Van Wylen s t a t e d t h a t " t h e funds for the additional increase will be from internal savings and additional gifts to the college."

September coast shelters treasures
Caroiwl MT.
by Kenneth Lobb Lake Michigan in September is remarkable. All the crowds have gone home, yet the water remains warm enough for swimming and the beaches still absorb that hot sun. ALTHOUGH O t t a w a S t a t e P a r k and T u n n e l P a r k a t t r a c t most of the beach goers, it is on the south side of Lake Macatowa between Point West and Saugatuck - where the real treasures lie. H e r e , .amidst t h e t o w e r i n g dunes, is a six-mile stretch of land which remains largely uninhabited a n d full of b e a u t y , and with a s e r i e s of i n t e r e s t i n g l a n d m a r k s which m a n y H o l l a n d e r s n e v e r even know exist. Ever hear of the Ponderosa, or Castle Park, or the Hope College beach? They are all here. YOU DON'T h a v e to be a geologist to appreciate the fascinating formations the wind has carved, nor do you have to be an a r c h i t e c t to a d m i r e t h e fancy buildings dotting this coastline. Swimming, hiking and camping a r e f r e e , n a t u r a l l y , and it is between these nooks and crannies w h e r e m a n y of our i n f a m o u s Hope-lovers-at-sunset photos are shot for the yearbook. A HIKE BETWEEN Holland harbor and Saugatuck harbor proves most interesting, if your legs can hold up. A more realistic approach is to drive along the road which parallels the big lake and then hike through the dunes to your destination. This road is 66th Street, and may be reached by taking the last left off South Shore Drive before h i t t i n g P o i n t W e s t , at J e s i e k Shipyard. BUT FOR day-dreaming purp o s e s , s u p p o s e we t a k e t h a t six-mile hike b e t w e e n h a r b o r s . T h e g a t e which k e e p s t h e Macatowa beach in semi-privacy during the summer months has been removed, so drive right on up. There is plenty to keep one's mind occupied r i g h t at t h e M a c a t o w a b e a c h . The c o t t a g e s , many of them eloquently built at the turn of the century, are well stocked during vacation months w i t h rich C h i c a g o a n s , some of whom h a v e s p e n t t h e i r last 40 summers here. After Labor Day, however, most of these houses are boarded up to face the winter. A few are leased to Hope students. A CONCRETE walkway allows one to approach Lake Michigan without getting any toes wet, but who's worried about that?

A walk to the end of the pier is an absolute must, where one not only gets a panoramic view of the entire area, but a look at various b o a t s coming in or out of t h e h a r b o r and a p e e k at w h a t ' s happening across the channel at Ottawa State Park. HEADING SOUTH, one must scurry around a few more private homes (okay to follow beachline) before hitting a continuous stream of s a n d d u n e s . You a r e git t h e f o r m e r C a r o u s e l M o u n t a i n ski resort, which has not operated in t h a t c a p a c i t y since t n e ' 7 3 - 7 4 season due to financial troubles. T h e a r e a has b e e n r e n a m e d Carousel Recreational Properties. The motel and lodge still operate, but only for specific functions. No one seems to mind a bit of innocent snooping. CONTINUING ON, a m a z i n g C a s t l e P a r k is n e x t . The m^in feature here is the castle which stands in the heart of the village. But that's only the beginning. A wooden lookout o v e r t h e lake provides a stunning view, and an amphitheater is sure to promote fantasies of Greek drama. C a s t l e P a r k can be easily reached, too, by car following the signs off 66th Street. HOPE COLLEGE land follows. Officially k n o w n as t h e Hope College D u n e F o r e s t P r e s e r v e (and f r e q u e n t l y used by t h e biology and geology departments), just mke one of the many trails from the white gate at 66th St. out to t h e beach, or visa v e r s a . Horseback riding is tolerated, but not exactly encouraged. Neither is squirrel-shooting. The college owns 74 acres here, and while none of its land actually b o r d e r s L a k e Michigan, t h e company which holds the rights t h e G r e a t N o r t h e r n L a n d and Developing Company from Muskegon - has announced it plans to let t h e land sit u n t o u c h e d indefinitely. FURTHERMORE, this s a m e spot hosts Holland's nude bathers during the summer, a fact which has not yet surfaced to the general public. So the only logical advice to give is: stay prepared to drop your drawers. T h e M u s k e g o n c o m p a n y controls the next two "attractions" s o u t h w a r d , which a r e p e r h a p s most popular with young adults: t h e P i t and t h e P o n d e r o s a . Ironically, these two areas require t h e m o s t s t r e n u o u s e n e r g y to arrive at since they are isolated f r o m r o a d s of a n y s o r t , dune buggies excepted.

Trudging up and over this dynamic dune gives me flashbacks of t h e Catskill M o u n t a i n s , t h e Mojave Desert, and the Gulf of Mexico all rolled into one. Magnificent. Tne Ponderosa earned its name due to its vast and mixed scenery of pine trees, sand dunes, and the widest beach along this stretch between the two harbors. Excellent c a m p i n g s p o t s . I'm told t h e r m s a n o t h e r i n f a m o u s spot, d u b b e d " R e e f e r R i d g e , " somewhere along through here. LAKETOWN BEACH is next. It is more or less a public beach, a sort of Tunnel Park on a mini scale. Lots of young people and f r i s b e e s d u r i n g s u m m e r ; photographers and lovers now. An a b a n d o n e d beach facility m a r k s t h e land owned by St. Augustine Seminary, and is the next point of interest. The building is slowly falling into t h e lake a n d / o r c r u m b l i n g to pieces, so watch it! when you take a tour. NOW WE ARE much closer to Saugatuck, and although the pier is clearly in view, the bend of the shoreline creates an optical illusion; in other words, keep walking, there's still a mile to go. One must pass another short section of liberally spaced, well-todo homes, but it's cool to stride past. By now, the only thought in mind is to reach t h a t pier. NEXT, BEWARE ol approaching dune buggies, because you're on land owned by the Schooner D u n e R i d e s C o m p a n y . A wide beach and t h e f i r s t t r a c e s of Saugatuck women are the highlights here. For all intents and p u r p o s e s , y o u ' r e in S a u g a t u c k . Tne pier looms ahead. You've made it. Fishermen, boat-gazers, sun bathers and transistor radios are prevalent once more, just like at tne other end. Its worth the hike. HOLLAND TO Saugatuck, via t h e s h o r e l i n e .

Good and Crazy Feeling very expansive and a little lighth e a d e d this week, Pull-time seemed to me the perfect instant in t h e endless reems of t i m e to say what a fine b u n c h of people we all are.
W e are a fine b u n c h of people. A trifle crasy, of course, but craziness is the touch of mortality that keeps us from being dull. D r . C u r r y of our history d e p a r t m e n t gave a fine talk to t h e Sigma Sigma's last week. Being one, I h e a r d it. He said, in essence, that no-one has t h e final solutions to t h e huge and terrifying n u m b e r of spaghetti-like quandries besetting us. All we c a n do, like t h e hero in Camus' " T h e Plague" is fight against hopelessness: the hopelessness that will engulf us if we throw u p o u r h a n d s a n d m u t t e r , "There's nothing I c a n d o . "
Recording History 23 September 1976 Editor, A N C H O R H o p e College T o the Editor: Over t h e past two years, one frequently has h e a r d discussions as to the p r o p e r objective of t h e " A n c h o r " and its content. As a non-journalist, I should like to m a k e public my thoughts as a r e a d e r . First a n d foremost, t h e " a n c h o r " is a historical d o c u m e n t a n d records for all time what transpires on this c a m p u s . Hence, it little m a t t e r s whether some "news" is old before the next issue of the c a m p u s newspaper appears; if the item is worthy of r e p o r t i n g at all, then it is worth d o c u m e n t i n g in the " a n c h o r " . T h a t the p a p e r a p p e a r s only weekly should not matter. Secondly, news best concerns those four items of grist for the journalist's mill: people, places, events, a n d ideas. People: who a p p e a r s on c a m p u s as a guest lecturer or p e r f o r m e r ; who wins the
Having hope that things will t u r n out right is crazy, but it's not s t u p i d . T h e Greeks of "Aeneid" f a m e were insane e n o u g h to believe t h a t it was better to fight a lost battle, in short, commit suicide t h a n to surrender a n d turn back. When we consider that Greek thought at t h a t time saw d e a t h as t h e lack of all existence, the v a c u u m of non-being, one c a n see the bravery a n d nuttiness involved in their commitment to fight. Oddly enough, they won. Beating the pudgy muscles of our ind e f a t i g u a b l e pullers every year is useless. Even the river ignores t h e m . Voting for Ford or C a r t e r or NOl is useless: neither is God, and either will p r o b a b l y prove himself an ass or a failure in f o u r years or forty. Nol doesn't c o u n t . T h e solution to this h u m a n tragedy is a stroke of blinding brilliance; we d o it every day: ignore it. Never admit t h a t our world is tragic, a n d t h a t there's nothing we can do about it. Because if we do admit it. we'll be right. If we stay crazy, we m i g h t win. Frater-Arkie intramural game; who is new on the faculty. Places: what new facilities or properties have become available; what changes have been m a d e in old facilities. Events: what research specialties faculty a n d students are engaged in; what new a p p r o a c h e s to teaching or l e a r n i n g are e m b a r k e d u p o n ; results of p e r f o r m a n c e s or athletic contests; what internal reviews a n d studies are in progress by faculty or student groups. Ideas: what has become popular among students; what are new customs a n d mores; what editorial opinion seems germ a n e to the c a m p u s scene; w h a t essay on life might be p e r t i n e n t . All these a n d m o r e constitute what the " a n c h o r " should report. Students a n d staff alike tend to want to r e a d about themselves a n d each other. O n e should not, however, lose sight of the long-term record value of the student newspaper as a record of our days. William T . Gillis H e a d Resident, Durfee
a i r t femdkwaM W h e n t h e story of t h e Dominican Republic's revolution unfolds, you may hear a b o u t a g r e a t , u n s u n g h e r o whose n a m e is Sidney. N o b o d y knows Sidney's last n a m e , but the whole course of t h e revolution would have been changed if it h a d n ' t been for him. Sidney was an A m e r i c a n tourist visiting Santo Domingo when t h e fighting broke out. As you m a y r e m e m b e r . President Johnson sent in Marines to protect Americans who could possibly be h u r t . Unfortunately, the evacuation went off so fast t h a t in 24 hours there wasn't an A m e r i c a n left in t h e capital except Sidney. W h e n Sidney showed u p at the pier to be taken o n board ship, he was stopped by a M a r i n e colonel who said, "I'm sorry, you can't leave, sir." " W h y not?" Sidney wanted to know. "Because we've been sent h e r e to protect Americans a n d you're the only American left. If you leave, we'll have to pull out." " N u t s to t h a t , " said Sidney. "I want to get o u t of here. T h e y got a b u n c h of crazy people in this town." "My orders are to keep you here, sir. We m a d e a mistake in evacuating the Americans too fast a n d now we need you m o r e t h a n you need us." " T h a t ' s not my p r o b l e m , " Sidney said. "I w a n t to g o on t h a t ship out t h e r e . " T w o Marine sergeants raised their guns. "It's not possible, Sidney," t h e colonel replied. "If the OAS arrived a n d f o u n d n o American here for us to protect, we would be in a very sticky position. But you'll be perfectly safe. President Johnson is sending in 10,000 m o r e troops to protect you." " T o protect me?" "Yes, sir. We're going to build a ninemile p e r i m e t e r a r o u n d you so nobody c a n
The Last American get near you. I assure you n o t h i n g can go wrong." Sidney took his bags and went back to t h e hotel. T h e next m o r n i n g he was visited by t h e general in charge of the p a r a t r o o p e r s . "Are you okay, Sidney?" "Yeah, I'm okay. But 1 want to go home." "Just be patient a n d everything will be all r i g h t . " While the general was talking, a platoon set u p a m a c h i n e g u n on t h e balcony. T w o tanks were parked in f r o n t of the hotel a n d an a n t i a i r c r a f t gun was placed on the roof. " W h a t ' s all that for?" Sidney wanted to know. "Just to see that n o one h u r t s you. You're very precious to us." "Yeah, well, if I'm so precious, why d o n ' t you get m e the hell out of here?" " W e will as soon as we feel it's reasonably safe. For t h e m o m e n t you're t h e only h u m a n i t a r i a n reason for our b e i n g here." "I d o n ' t know what's going o n , b u t all I know is I'm being held as a hostage." "Sidney, have you ever h e a r d of t h e Monroe Doctrine?" "Yeah, I guess so." "Well, you're p a r t of it. Your n a m e will go down in history books with T e d d y Roosevelt a n d A d m i r a l Dewey. W h e n school teachers ask their pupils w h o saved the Dominican Republic from going Comm u n i s t , the children a r e going to have to answer, ' S i d n e y . ' " Just t h e n the p h o n e r a n g . T h e general picked it u p . "It's t h e President, Sidney. H e wants to speak to you." "Yes, sir, M r . President. N o , I'm just fine. I'll stay here as long as you want m e to. T h a t ' s nice of you to say. You're a good A m e r i c a n , too." (c) 1976, Los Angeles T i m e s

Security goes wild A certain a n i m a l on c a m p u s has suddenly taken on a startling new a p p e a r ance; t h a t of M a c h o Public Safety. T h e s e little titans of power who just last year used to p e r f o r m their job quietly and efficiently have l a u n c h e d a c a m p a i g n to ticket every vehicle o n Hope's c a m p u s at least once d u r i n g t h e 76-77 a c a d e m i c year. If you d o u b t m e consider this: these walkie talkie jockies went so f a r as to ticket the Flying D u t c h m a n bus for parking 20 feet too f a r to the east.
T h e question is why are the boys f r o m Public Safety acting this way? And w h a t sense of j u d g m e n t are they using when they administer their law-enforcing tactics? I c a n see beefing u p a security force if there is a growing security problem on Hope's c a m p u s . However, if this is the case, 1) W h y aren't the students informed of the p r o b l e m , a n d , 2) H o w does acting tough a n d powerful h e l p keep the security i n t a c t . T h e r e used to be a day when C a m p u s Security was a r o u n d in the shadows just doing the j o b . Now everywhere you look they are there. It has even risen to t h e point of cruising the cafeteria with their twin c o m m u n i c a t o r s . It seems to m e t h a t the idea a n d the purpose b e h i n d c a m p u s security has inflated a few heads. In a school which claims to be p r o u d of
its Christian heritage, and with the way its students mingle so well with t h e comm u n i t y you would think t h a t a little m o r e trust could be displayed, a n d a greater m e a s u r e of discreetness by security be employed. T h i s is not a police state here at H o p e . A p p a r e n t l y some of the boys f r o m t h e little white house think it is. So, g e n t l e m e n , this is for you: You cannot ticket a car in an u n m a r k e d area. B r u m l e r is the case in point here: If you d o n ' t w a n t cars h a n g i n g off of the pavem e n t o n t o t h e dirt, mistakenly identified as grass, or if you wish to just have compact cars p a r k e d there, post it - d o n ' t ticket a car t h a t is supposedly c o m m i t t i n g o n e of those great offenses. T h e irony is t h a t you boys are so efficient a n d "Johnny o n the spot" with your yellow p a p e r , while you failed to deter t h e spray p a i n t i n g of several cars in t h a t lot, not to m e n t i o n a smashed window also d u e to vandalism. Why? T h e remaining section is directed to the students of Hope. Do you feel that we need a safety of this size? Do you feel they are doing the job? Do you feel Glenn Bareman should publish his overall policy to the people who pay his salary? A n d lastly, h a v e you been harassed by our protectors? W e would like answers to these questions. W e feel Public Safety has overstepped their b o u n d a r i e s a n d we feel it is time to move. Phil V a n D o p Peter Morse Steven Eliason

Rocky flips bird - but who's watching by RUBS Smith "I don't think it's diraified to give the finger to the Vice-President of the U n i t e d S t a t e s , " snapped Nelson Rockefeller after he flipped the bird to 25 student h e c k l e r s in Binghamton, New York, last week. "I just responded in kind-it's the American way." WHILE THIS incident could have triggered a barb-filled series of encounters between students and candidates in past elections, this year it looks like there won't be any fights for Rocky, Grits and Fritz or Jerry Ford - s t u d e n t s just don't care. Campus activism hasn't exactly flourished in 1976. Most of the politicking is left to student hacks, the future ward leaders and state
senators, who are laying roots for their own careers. The camaraderie and idealism of 1968 and 1972 is gone; there's not the unity that brought 40,000 youths together to work for George McGovern in the '72 New York p r i m a r y . J i m m y Carter enlisted just 400 students for the same effort in 76. THE FEW YOUTHS that are involved in the national election this y e a r keep lonely hours at student union campaign booths, occasionally hawking a bumpersticker or bending some patient passerby's ear. According to pollster P e t e r Hart, it's an election year that will find less than half the country's registered voters traipsing to the polls, with an even lower percent-
age pegged for those under thirty. "STUDENTS ARE campaigning for pragmatic reasons," explained Doug Miller, a senior at the U n i v e r s i t y of Chicago. "They realize it's the only presidential election in their four college years, and they w a n t to get t h e experience. On t h e whole, t h e University of Chicago is apolitical, anyone who g e t s involved in extra-curricular activities is in the minority here," he continued. Despite the gloomy prospects of making inroads on t n e s t u d e n t vote, both Carter and Ford youth directors are at least making an effort to woo the reluctant voters. "ACROSS THE board, people a r e for C a r t e r - our enemy is apathy, not Gerald Ford," asserted
Darwin's Infiltration by K. Gary Hasek Over a century has passed since the advent of Charles Darwin's theory about the origin of species was introduced into our Western culture. Initially it was condemned as heretical and even a delusion of satanic forces. Few considered Mr. Darwin's theory as being potentially true a n d those who did were t a u n t e d by many as being as deluded as the m a n who proposed it. It has been a litde more than fifty years since the f a m o u s Scopes "monkey trial" in Dayton, Tennessee. T h e issue of whether evolution could be taught in Tennessee schools or not was hotly contested in a state t h a t outlawed anything but the propogation of the biblical account of creation. T h e bulk of the public supported the state position but the charge of guilt given to the "heretic" school teacher was reversed on a technicality by the state supreme court. T h e current era in which we live has brought to light m o r e and more theories on how we came about; most scientists agreeing to some sort of biological evolution. Evolution has been generally accepted into our culture and it no longer is as heretical as it once was. Many theologians even
accept varients on evolutionary theory often saying that it was instigated by divine power. It is obvious that evolution is no longer repugnant to most, instead it is assumed that most everyone should accept it as true. I believe that our society has assumed too m u c h . T o o many people have too quickly classified belief in creation as myth. T o believe in God as the creator according to the Bible has become a new heresy for many. T o say, "Yes, I believe in Adam and Eve and the snake and all of it," seems absurd and downright appalling to many. Well, I'm one that just happens to believe in the "myth" of Genesis. I have faith that what is in God's book is accurate just as many have faith that what a biology book says about the origins of life is true. We cannot assume that all in the scientific community endorse evolution. Many are heretics as I (i.e., the Creation Science Research Center of San Diego, California, and the Creation Research Society in Ann Arbor, Michigan). Each person must decide for himself what his own stance will be a n d not condemn the other; however, let us also "Test everything and hold fast to what is good," 1 Thessalonians 5:21, before assuming anything.
Ford takes Carter in first debate by Dan Blauw According to the Associated Press, a five member non-partisan panel of debate experts judged Ford as the winner of the first Ford-Carter debate. Five university debate coaches objectively evaluated each candidate on analysis, reasoning, evidence, organization, refutation, and presentation; four concluded Ford came out on top, and one thought Carter did a better job. T h e four judges who thought Ford won particularly gave him an edge on handling the bureaucracy a n d tax issues. Ford ably responded to Carter's criticism of our tax' system by pointing out that o u r tax mess was enacted by a primarily Democratic Congress, a n d his tax programs would help straighten it out. Ford shined, too, in the a r g u m e n t about Ford's m a n y vetoes. Carter charged that Ford has vetoed m o r e legislation " t h a n any other President." He accused the present administration of "governing by stalemate." Ford's response pointed out two things: 1) H e is certainly not the record holder of Presidential vetoes (F.D.R. and T r u m a n , for example, averaged m o r e vetoes per year; and 2) his vetoes have been essential in working toward a balanced budget. C a r t e r can't complain both a b o u t Ford's vetoes of spending bills a n d about the b u d g e t deficit. It is simply a m a t t e r of fact if all of t h e Democratic spending programs h a d become law, America's deficit would be even higherl Carter looked particularly weak in his hazy response to questions concerning his increased If G OO NA* Attrr*"* Tt Oo r'e fin-osof** OF foil..

governmental spending. He has promised new expensive programs and, at the same time, has promised to balance the budget. On top of all this, he has promised tax cuts for most Americans. Carter never satisfied the questioners as to how he could accomplish all of this in one easy move. An AP telephone poll, which immediately followed the debate, showed that the public also considered Ford the winner - but not by m u c h . (34.4% thought Ford won and 31.8% thought Carter won) It is interesting, however, that a later Gallup poll gave Ford a much larger lead. On September 25, 38% of a general sample thought Ford came out ahead, and only 25% thought Carter was superior. This increase in Ford's rating and decrease in Carter's rating can perhaps be explained by Carter's immediate emotional appeal. Carter makes m a n y Americans temporarily feel good about America, about Jimmy Carter, and about the f u t u r e . But. after emotionality wears off. many Americans know they must get back to h a r d realities. Ford is a m a n who has dealt with hard realities. H e has presented himself honestly and specifically to the American people. And the American people have responded in Fortl's favor. Ford's popularity, as a result of the first debate, j u m p e d nearly four percentage points, while Carter's rose just over 1 percentage point. T h e 1960 Kennedy-Nixon debates afforded Kennedy only a three percentage point increase; and that debate was thought to t u r n the tide for Kennedy. Surely, this first Ford-Carter debate will help to t u r n the tide for Ford. /WAN'

J a n e t Oliver, of t h e C a r t e r National Headquarters in Atlanta. "Young people want integrity and leadership, and they haven't seen it in t h e i r lifetime. They d o n ' t remember FDR and JFK." Oliver, who is d i r e c t i n g a campus voter r e g i s t r a t i o n blitz and canvassing o p e r a t i o n , feels that young people are fed up with politics and will be hard to reach, d e s p i t e t h e fact t h e " G o v e r n o r Carter has had a terrific response at colleges and everywhere else." CAROLYN BOOTH, National Youth D i r e c t o r for t h e F o r d campaign, is more encouraged about getting the student vote to the polls. "There is tremendous support for Ford in the southern schools, and Wake Forest, Baylor and Notre Dame are particularly strong," she said. "The Republican college student who is registered is more likely to vote thaii other students." But if there's support for either Ford or C a r t e r at t h e college campuses, it's certainly not out in the open. When students do speak about the election, it's more likely to be a d i a t r i b e slashed with cynicism rather than admiration. THE MICHIGAN Daily editor ialized that Ford kicking off his campaign at a college campus (University of Michigan at Ann Arbor) "is s o m e t h i n g akin to Hitler making ig tne the first donation to the United Jewish Appeal." The editorial marked F o r d as "an enemy of education" because of his anti-education record in Congress, and urged s t u d e n t s to demon-
strate at the President's arrival. At the University of Texas at Austin, a school t h a t Booth counted among those active for Ford, one student countered that the campus was politicaly dormant: "There's voter registration going on alright, but the race isn't too hot. Theres little activity for Carter, less for Ford. People just dont care anymore." "THERE'S SOME political organization. but it's not like four years ago." remarked a graduate s t u d e n t at t h e U n i v e r s i t y of Maryland, reiterating a common theme on campuses today. "Some are participating on a local level, the hardcore political addicts, but I haven't seen much movement around this place." Even t h e w o r k h o r s e Young Americans for F r e e d o m are bypassing the presidential election this y e a r . D i s h e a r t e n e d t h a t Ronald Reagan was nosed out in Kansas City, YAF members are concentrating on key Congressional races, w h e r e c o n s e r v a t i v e candidates are facing stiff opposition. WHAT DOES IT all add up to? A handful of hecklers, a score of placards and an occasional cherry bomb scare. And although some students turn out for campaign appearances, the most prevailing attitude towards the election is p r e t t y well summed up by a University of Oklahoma student who said. "Yeah, I saw Carter. He says what e v e r y o n e w a n t s to hear--just like any politician would."
For failures only by Peter Semeyn I am writing to clear up some misconceptions that people have concerning t h e church. T h e s e misconceptions are held not only by those outside the church, but also by many of its members. It would be most helpful to first explain what I mean by the word "church." I do not see the church as a building, but as people. The buildings where we gather could be described most accurately as worship centers. Who. then, is this church for? It's not for people who are moral, but for the immoral. It is not for the honest, but for the deceitful. It is not for the clean living, but for those with bad habits. "It does not..." does not mean that those who are moral or honest or who live clean lives do not need to attend church. People tend to feel t h a t t h e church is for those who are perfect. We talk about Christianity in terms of what you can't do if you a r e a Christian. Those in t h e church are suspect of those outside t h e faith. The non-church-going immoral feel t h a t t h e y do not
Qualify for c h u r c h m e m b e r s h i p . And I suspect that they get that feeling from t h o s e within the church.
The church has become a closed society for the "straights." Kind of like a country club for cherubs who have never done a wrong deed. This is not true, of course. There are many in the church who have been or are immoral, dishonest, and those who have bad habits. H o w e v e r , t h e y usually k e e p these acts hidden in the closet. They aren't honest with each other about past failure, and so outsiders who nave failed do not feel welcome. Those in the church should not bear t h e whole blame for this problem. People who are not Christians many times fail to check out Christians' feelings concerning their shortcomings. They automatically s t e r e o t y p e C h r i s t i a n s as straight-laced, nard-lined. closeminded individuals who just wouldn't understand. They don't give the church a chance. Do you qualify? The church of J e s u s Christ has t h e lowest s t a n d a r d s in t h e world. It's members are a real mess.

Carter slipping,,.Ford gripping by Rob Torresen Jimmv Carter has become the i s s u e . Only t w o m o n t h s ago it would have been difficult to predict the Democratic candidate to win the presidency by anything less t h a n a l a n d s l i d e . He had emerged from the July convention riding a wave of political moment u m t h a t s e e m e d v i r t u a l l y unbreakable. It was difficult to think of a political blunder that might possibly cost him a 61 to 32 percent lead (a Harris Survey). And y e t , a l t h o u g h he is still favored to win in November, the scene is changing. IS CARTER SLIPPING? If the polls and press are to be believed, yes he is, although there is much d i s a g r e e m e n t o v e r how much ground he is actually losing. Ford
campaign officials happily point out that the president is about two w e e k s a h e a d of t h e i r p r e d i c t e d schedule, and they eagerly await the October 6th debate on foreign policy. As one can quickly discover by t a l k i n g t o an a r d e n t F o r d or Carter fan, the debates are going to do little to affect the die-hard s u p p o r t on e i t h e r side. To a Carterite, Carter is the obvious winner; to a Fordian, Ford is the obvious winner. But the difference may lie in the type of support that the former Georgian governor has been drawing, much of which is c o n s i d e r e d " s o f t . " F o r t h i s soft s u p p o r t , and for t h e r a n k of undecided voters, the decision is far less obvious. "SEXUAL POLITICS," like the

Hopeite named
President on the campus of Hope during the primary last May. A s k e d a b o u t his new role, Ranson stated that he "plans to give it my all. I believe young voters seek more than charismatic flip-flops and shallow promises like Mr. Carter has offered. They want government out of their daily lives and t h e y w a n t g o v e r n m e n t to leave t h e m and t h e i r f r e e d o m s alone. If they aren't too turned off by the liberal resolution and lavish spending of the U.S. Congress, I believe they will vote in November -- and vote for Ford." R a n s o n will be w o r k i n g with Elly P e t e r s o n , f o r m e r Michigan GOP Chairman, who has spearheaded a "People for Ford" effort to e n l i s t t h e s u p p o r t of older Americans, young Americans, and o t h e r v o l u n t e e r g r o u p s for t h e President.

Charles Ranson, Jr., of Paw Paw, will be responsible for c u l t i v a t i n g c a m p u s s u p p o r t for President Ford throughout the state during the weeks ahead. The announcement was made in Lansing by Ford campaign director Rick Simonson who called Ranson "a guy with depth and practical experience who will give nis all to J e r r y Ford." Simonson said Michigan polls show t h e President to be strongest among young voters; "we need Charlie R a n s o n to help m a i n t a i n t h a t strength and build upon it."

Health Clinic hosts People's Day by Molly Millbrand There is now a "Peoples Day" every first and third Monday of each month at the Health Clinic. (Not to be c o n f u s e d with Sick p e o p l e s day which is e v e r y T u e s d a y m o r n i n g . ) On P e o p l e s Day Dr. Dale Dykema will be at the clinic from 1:30-4:30 to give pap smears, pelvic exams, pregnancy exams, V.D. tests and to provide counseling and prescribe birth control. Although most of you men on c a m p u s w o n ' t be v i s i t i n g D r . Dykema, don't forget that males can get V.D. and need just as much counseling on b i r t h c o n t r o l as women. The large response from females shows that there is a real need for this service, so you can bet that these services are indirectly benefiting the men in their lives also.
Peoples Day is pretty popular so it's a good idea to make an appointment early. Already all appointments before Oct. 18 have been filled. There is a fee involved but you won't come away broke. A pelvic exam costs $5, a pap smear $5, and a pregnancy test $7. You will be billed for the latter two through the hospital lab. Counseling is free of charge. These prices are very reasonable when you consider a pap smear and pelvic exam at a p r i v a t e gynoc ol ogi st will cost anywhere between $20 - $35. Besides, no gynocologist in Holland is taking any new patients. P.S. In my last column I mentioned that women on the pill should have pap smears every six months. I've found that that is kosher in some states and for some doctors, but many doctors feel that a test once a year is adequate.

i n t e r v i e w t h a t C a r t e r had with Playboy magazine, could be one of the reasons for the Carter slip. Many feel that this type of rhetoric has no place in a p r e s i d e n t i a l election. Another reason could be the occasional lapses of concentration and slips ot the tongue that have lead Carter to some inappropriate statements. Perhaps the fact that his tie was crooked as he stood debating Ford has had some effect. Whatever the reason. C a r t e r a p p e a r s to h a v e hit a slump. L a s t w e e k , t h i s column d e a l t with the major economic issues unemployment and inflation. The following is a quick summary of s e v e r a l of t h e o t h e r i m p o r t a n t issues in this vear's election. ENVIRONMENT--Carter:
Democrats say: by Tony Cerreto Marvin Esch, two-term representative of the 2nd congressional district, and Republican nominee for t h e v a c a n t s e n a t o r i a l s e a t f o r m e r l y held by Philip H a r t , stands little chance of defeating his r i v a l , Don Riegle, w i t h t h e expected Democratic victory this fall. ESCH, A LITTLE known moderate Republican has defeated his previous opponents not upon an i n t r i n s i c s t r e n g t h , b u t upon political good fortune. Luck if you will. The son of a Flinton, Pa., coal miner who eventually worked his way into m a n a g e m e n t b u i l d i n g tires, Esch served in the Army in World W a r II and t h e r e a f t e r a t t e n d e d U of M, m a j o r i n g in political science and graduating in only 272 years. HE LITERALLY w o r k e d his way t h r o u g h g r a d u a t e school, peddling vegetables, men's suits and assorted odd jobs, ultimately o b t a i n i n g his P h . D . in S p e e c h . After a short tenure as a teacher, Esch plunged into politics during Romney's first term. In the last two elections, the 2nd d i s t r i c t has been t h e s c e n e of r a t h e r close c a m p a i g n s o u t of which Marvin Esch, in his low-key, p r a g m a t i c s t y l e , has e m e r g e d victorious. In 7 2 Esch rode upon the coat-tails of a Nixon landslide. TWO YEARS later Esch won d u e to a d i v i s i v e D e m o c r a t i c p r i m a r y , in which t h e u l t i m a t e v i c t o r had little t i m e t o p u t together a legitimate campaign. Y e t , given t h e c i r c u m s t a n c e s , Esch only won with a plurality of 54%, clearly an indication that his incumbency was tenuous. E s c h ' s g r e a t a d v a n t a g e s lay primarily with his ability to please a constituency as diverse as the 2nd district, a mixture of university campuses (U of M and Eastern Michigan University), middle-class s u b u r b s , a g i n g f a c t o r i e s . His greatest disadvantage is the fact that he is scarcely known outside
" W h e n e v e r t h e r e is a conflict b e t w e e n d e v e l o p m e n t and environmental quality, I would go with the environment." Ford: "I pursue the goal of clean air and water, but I must also pursue the objective of m a x i m u m j o b s and economic progress." BUSING - C a r t e r : "I f a v o r school integration; I do not favor mandatory busing." Ford: "I do not believe that forced busine is the right way to get quality education." CAMPAIGN FINANCECar ter: "Public financing of campaigns should be extended to members of Congress." Ford: opposes public f i n a n c i n g of C o n g r e s s i o n a l campaigns. GUN CONTROL - Carter: fa vors the registration of hand guns.
F o r d : s t a n d s " u n a l t e r a b l y opposed " t o t h e r e g i s t r a t i o n of guns. ABORTION - Carter: "I think abortion is wrong. I don't favor a constitutional amendment to give the states local option on the abortion issue." Ford: opposes abortion "on demand" but believes that it is justified in cases of rape or where the life of the woman is at stake. He does favor the constitutional amendment. HEALTHCARE- Carter: favors "a national health insurance program which is universal and m a n d a t o r y . " F o r d : claims " w e cannot realistically afford federally dictated national health insurance."
of his district. ESCH IS A conservative modera t e , firmly o p p o s e d to b u s i n g , abortion and in favor of increased states rights, congressional reform and a tougher stance on crime. His views regarding the controversial common s i t u s p i c k e t i n g ( t h e provision allowing a single union to shut an entire work project due to a labor dispute), which he is against, will surely alienate him in the election this fall. In a brief interview, Dr. Jack Holmes, a s s o c i a t e p r o f e s s o r of
political science, emphasized his "great faith" in Esch, yet admitted his c h a n c e s in o v e r t a k i n g t h e once-Republican liberal Riegle to be slight. GEORGE ZEIGMULLER, a speech professor whom Esch met while at Wayne State, summarized the general image of Esch, "He's not a person who there's anything terribly anything unusual about...a kind of o r d i n a r y g u y . " In an energetic and frenzied Presidential election year, Marvin Esch just isn't in the cards.
Republicans say: by Paul DeWeese Last Friday, Tom Esch, son of Republican U.S. candidate Marvin Esch, visited Hope on behalf of his father. Esch, an intelligent, enthusiastic c a m p a i g n e r , is t a k i n g a s e m e s t e r ' s leave from Montana State University to join the other members of the Esch family in the senate campaign. ESCH'S VISIT to Hope was part of a four day, nine county swing through western Michigan. Travelling a c r o s s t h e s t a t e , E s c h noticed a negative trend among college v o t e r s . " T h e college students are excited about voting, but many times they make the mistake of voting for the opponent of the candidate they dislike," said Esch. In the past, Marvin Esch has been a Presbyterian lay minister
and is currently a member of a congressional Bible study group. Despising labels such as liberal or conservative, Esch researches in depth each issue before casting his vote. HE HAS represented a diverse congressional district that includes a liberal U-M community in Ann A r b o r , a blue collar community in Livonia, a lower middle class area in Monroe for the past 10 years. This district contains the largest number of college students in the nation. Tom Esch, ended the interview by stating "college students should have positive reasons for casting their vote. In the next 39 days, the students may find a lot of reasons not to vote for Don Riegle- but know w h y you v o t e for M a r v Esch."

Lem hits U.S. with a bathtub by David Soubly Polish-bom Stanislaw Lem has arrived at last upon the American science fiction stage. The debut of just another science fiction writer would not ordinarily call for any sort of fanfare. But Lem is not " j u s t a n o t h e r science fiction writer." PRIOR TO THE publication of four of his novels in A m e r i c a , Lem's books had already sold over six million copies w o r l d w i d e , m a k i n g him one of t h e m o s t popular writers of our day. This p o p u l a r i t y is not undeserved. Lem's books deal with an amazing variety of themes, anything from distant futuristic worlds to near-contemporary earth. Most of his works belong to s p e c u l a t i v e fiction r a t h e r t h a n s t r i c t s c i e n c e fiction; he d e a l s m o r e with c o n c e p t s t h a n with mechanics. MEMOIRS F O U N D in j i Bathtub (Avon. 1976) is such a book. Set in future America, it focuses on the concept of the total bureaucracy which has developed to such a point that it has become self-sustaining, feeding off its own bureaucratic principles to perpetuate itself. In t h e I n t r o d u c t i o n , s e t still further in the future than the main a c t i o n of t h e book, a h i s t o r i a n looks back upon what Lem glibly calls t h e " P r e c h a o t i c A g e " and speculates on the hypthetic existence of an underground Pentagon - t h e t h i r d such b u i l d i n g in existence at that time. THE CONVINCING evidence is a packet of notes discovered by an e x c a v a t o r u n d e r t h e r u b b l e of t4 Haar-vurd Peak." These are the memoirs - notes left by a civilian who has stumbled into the planned chaos of this isolated and self-suffi-
cient structure: The Building, the final Pentagon. After the introduction, the story is told from this confused civilian's point of view. For the first portion of the book, the reader is tempted to laugh at what appears to be the bumbling ineptness of the gigantic military office pool. After all, how can any organization run efficiently on the assumption that "every document, circulating endlessly from desk to desk, must eventually hit upon the right one?" IT IS ALSO amusing to follow this lost individual as he attempts to track down the instructions for his mission - an unknown activity hinted at during his first interview with one General Kashenblade. He finally arrives at the office of a M a j o r E r m s , w h e r e he does receive some "instructions"; howe v e r , when he glances at his "instructions," he finds them to be an e x a c t a c c o u n t of his e a r l i e r activities! The laughter is more guarded now, as t h e civilian b e g i n s to realize that there is a method in all this madness - that behind all the chaos within T h e Building is a plan, a plan that somehow uses chaos as its method of perpetuation. SLOWLY, IT d a w n s on t h e central character - who, by the way, is never named - that the people themselves do not make the plan; rather, they are part of the plan, and the plan is to keep the organization. The Building, going. The reader is compelled to follow t h i s poor soul t h r o u g h his preordained wanderings, is forced to w i t n e s s , t h r o u g h t h i s m a n ' s eyes, planned murders, planned nervous breakdowns, planned "chance" meetings. Spying and secrecy are two univ e r s a l e l e m e n t s in t h i s m a d c a p
Michener: Hang on through the crap By James Michener, From the ORACLE, University of South Florida "Don't be too calculating. Don't be too s c i e n t i f i c . D o n ' t let t h e shrinks terrify you or dictate the movements of your life. There is a divine irrelevance in the universe and many men and women win through to a sense of g r e a t n e s s in t h e i r lives by stumbling and fumbling their way into p a t t e r n s t h a t g r a t i f y t h e m and allow t h e m to utilize t h e i r endowments to the maximum. If Swarthmore College in 1925 had e m p l o y e d e v e n a h a l f - w a y decent guidance counselor, I would have spent my life as an assistant p r o f e s s o r of e d u c a t i o n in s o m e midwestern university. Because when I reported to college it must have been apparent to everyone that I was destined for some kind of academic career. Nevertheless, I was allowed to take Spanish, which leads to nothing, instead of F r e n c h or G e r m a n , which a s everyone knows are important l a n g u a g e s s t u d i e d by s e r i o u s students who wish to gain a Ph.D. Instead, I continued to putter around with Spanish and found a deep affinity for it. In the end, I was able to write a book about Spain which will p r o b a b l y live longer than anything else I've done. In other words, I blindly backed into a minor masterpiece... I had spent a good deal of my early time knocking around this country and Europe, trying to find out what I believed in, what values were large enough to enlist my sympathies during what I sensed would be a long and confused life. Had I committed myself at age eighteen as I was encouraged t o do, I would not even have known t h e parameters of the problems, and any choice I might have made then would have had to be wrong. It took me 40 years to find out the facts.

As a consequence, I have never been able to feel anxiety about young people who are fumbling their way toward the enlightenment that will keep them going. I doubt that a young man - unless he wants to be a doctor or a research chemist, where a substantial body of specific knowledge must be mastered within a prescribed time can waste time, regardless of what he does. I believe you have till age t h i r t y - f i v e t o decide finally on what you are going to do, and that any exploration you pursue in the process will in the end turn out to nave been creative. Indeed, it may well be the year that observers describe as "wasted" that will prove to have been t h e m o s t p r o d u c t i v e of t h o s e i n s i g h t s wnich will k e e p you going."

There a r e d o u b l e a g e n t s and t r i p l e agents, and so on and so on, a veritable heirarchy of espionage. And no one knows the ultimate why behind all this activity; they only know that it must go on - it must go on for the sake of The Building. THE ONLY RELIEF t h e civilian f i n d s is in a b a t h r o o m , where he tries to piece together t h e j a g g e d e n d s of t h e jigsaw puzzle p r e s e n t e d him.

by Tom Allbaugh U n f o r t u n a t e l y , to r e c e i v e t h e full i m p a c t of C a c o y a n n i s ' film, "Thanos and Despina," one must be a Greek citizen, have a working knowledge of Greek social mores, or at least be open minded. BUT PERHAPS the greatest hinderance to the spoiled American viewer when the reel starts to roll is this: the film is in black and white. At a n y r a t e , " T h a n o s and Despina" is a tragic and humorous film with conflicts between wealth and poverty, and parent and child that intensify its emotional climate to degrees that color film could not. But more importantly it is a love story that brings together the various ways of Greek life to a powerful whole. THIS IS the basic story line: three suitors compete for the hand in marriage of Despina (or rather h e r d o w e r y ) , t h e d a u g h t e r of Viahopoulos, a w e a l t h y land owner. From the start, Thanos, one of t h e possible t h r e e , is branded a thief. He is a peasant s h e e p h e r d e r , and his f r i e n d Yankos is the son of Thanos' boss. Yankos is also a possible suitor of Despina. Yankos kills Thanos' dog and scatters his flock, thereby establishing his class superiority over Thanos. This also makes it ethically impossible for Thanos to win t h e h a n d of D e s p i n a . How could she marry a thief? IN GREECE there is a class struggle between the rich and the poor, and occasionally t h e rich must assert their superiority over the peasants. Also in Greece, a w o m a n h a v i n g h e r say in t h e choice of her husband is equated with prostitution. Only through her father's cone n t cai f } i r s ^ e e { l t e r marriage with honor.

has m a n a g e d to m a s t e r f u l l y manipulate a story line in such a way that the reader, like the central character, will begin to doubt the genuineness of the characters and the situations presented. A book review of this length cannot begin to elaborate on the many theories - some absurd, some perplexing, and some intriguing that Lem presents in a chapter, a page, or even a sentence or two. Nor is it any substitute for the power of Lem's narrative. Only a careful reading of the book will show the reader Lem's genius, his ability to create a chillinc; hell of a bureaucratic plan gone haywire.

a p p r o a c h e s her c o n c e r n i n g her coming engagement and her i ights as a woman, she cannot understand why she should have any say in the matter. "Shall I also choose my father and my brother?" HER BROTHER tries to explain the western way of going out into t h e s t r e e t s and s e e k i n g out someone to love. She replies, "And be a whore? Go into the streets and whore myself? No, my father is wise and has made an honorable choice. I will love my husband as I love my father and brother." Not only seen here is the passive role of woman. One can detect the insecurity the child must feel in making his or her own decisions. WITH THANOS, mother Katrina e:oes b e f o r e w e a l t h y Viohopoulos t o beg for t h e hand of Despina. But at home Katrina calls him a thief, lazy, a do-nothing and yet demands that he remain at home to take care of her. The parents seem to see their c h i l d r e n as e x t e n s i o n s of themselves, their security or salvation into a h i g h e r class. Y e t t h e children are not trusted, are not c o n s i d e r e d to h a v e t h e moral c a p a c i t y to r e m a i n c h a s t e and make honorable choices. Perhaps this explains in part the sequence of events that follows. WHEN THANOS eoes before his boss on hands and knees and is f o r g i v e n his s u p p o s e d t h i e v e r y , D e s p i n a a r r a n g e s b e h i n d her father's back to meet Thanos in a schoolyard. She offers her engage-
ment gift to Thanos, that he may sell it and leave the country with the money. Then she calls him a beggar, a sheepherder. She spits in his face. This is a n o t h e r show of class oppression. But Thanos trips her from his knees and takes her out of town. ACROSS THE dry and jagged G r e e k c o u n t r y s i d e T h a n o s and Despina walk, screaming at each other; and as h? whips her, he demands that she call nim a thief and not a sheepherder. Finally she screams, "You Thief. I love you." This sadomasocistic relationship is p e r h a p s in p a r t t h e r e s u l t of children who cannot live by their own choice in honor. Despina's father, brother,an army, and Thanos' mother, leading other peasant women, follow the pair up a mountain. In order to r e s t o r e family h o n o r , D e s p i n a must be killed as well as Thanos. FOLLOWING a f i g h t scene between Thanos and Yankos, in which Thanos wins, he and bride Despina jump off a cliff. Because they will not honor their parents, they have no honor. The characterization is strong and one can deeply feel the extent to which the traditions affect the rich and poor, the young and old of "Thanos and Despina." Perhaps the American viewer can expect only that much, but that alone m a k e s t h e G r e e k film w o r t h seeing.

First win is "sweeter" by Doug Irons "Maybe this win was sweeter because we had to wait for it," head Football Coach Ray Smith said, referring to last Saturday's 33-14 bombing of a strong Indiana Central team. "It's always nicer to win, though," he observed with a smile. "The key to the whole game was the play of the defense," Smith said. "They kept the pressure on t h e I n d i a n a o f f e n s e ; t h e y only allowed one s c o r i n g d r i v e . And after the turnovers that we made, the defense stopped them rijjht there. I think we saw the coming of age of our defense in this game.' " I n d i a n a C e n t r a l was a key game for us; it bolstered our spirit and morale and set the tone for the r e s t of the season. For the first time in a number of games we were the underdog; we haven't played t h a t role v e r y o f t e n . It showed us that we can compete with worthy opponents." "The game was a great team effort," Smith continued, "a lot of guys played very well; some had the best games of their lives. Mark Boyce (12 of 18 passes completed). Duff DeZwaan (8 pass receptions for 124 yards) and especially Mike Skelton (117 yards rushing) had great days." "Defensively, it's hard to nar-
row it d o w n . . . t h e s e c o n d a r y played like we thought they could all along, especially Kurt Dropp e r s , P a u l O s b u r n and D a v e Teater." "Being at home was a definite factor," Smith said. "We were buoyed by t h e p r e s e n c e of t h e crowd; it helped our play. The size of the crowd was a happy surprise, too; you know, we wondered, here we are, 0 and 2; is anybody goin* to come? But it was a good crowd, and pretty noisy; in our favor." How does this game affect the outlook for the upcoming MIAA schedule, starting with Olivet this weekend? "League games, for us, are the ones that really count. Our goal, a t t h e b e g i n n i n g of t h e season, is to win the MIAA title. It's nice if we win a non-league game, but the MIAA contests are the ones that are really important. Albion has set a high standard for the MIAA this year; we'll have to be more consistent and improve our play, to be competitive with every team that we play this year, which is our goal." "Olivet is a young team with a new coach; so they were disorganized at first, but they're improving with every game. We're glad to open at home; it's an advantage. Hopefully, we'll start the MlAA season in a positive fashion. After last Saturday, we're beginning to be optimistic again."

"After losing five starters from l a s t y e a r ' s t e a m , t h i s is a r e b u i l d i n g y e a r for us," field hockey coach Lesley Swertfager said recently.

Cross Country: not always fun Interview with Kim Spalsbury What was it about cross country that first attracted you to it? "My f r e s h m a n y e a r in high school I went out for track because I knew I w o u l d n ' t m a k e t h e baseball team. At the end of the season my track coach asked me if I was going out for cross country in the fall. I said, "What's cross country?" When I first started I hated it because it was so different from other sports. There wasn't a ball to hit or throw, it was just me out there by myself. What makes cross country unique from all other sports? Cross country isn't a physical sport like some sports. T h e i r s no luck involved or no referees to make a bad call. It's you and the o t h e r guy t r y i n g t o b e a t each other. I call it a "pure" sport. How can you possibly enjoy running 7-10 miles a day? You don't always enjoy it. J u s t like o t h e r s p o r t s , p r a c t i c e isn't always fun, but you know that if you work hard in practice you'll have a good performance in the race. A leisurely run can be enjoyable, however. If you go for a run through the woods or a park you can be alone with your thoughts and enjoy the peacefulness. How does being elected captain affect your attitude and performance? First of all, it was a great honor
to be chosen by my close friends. It showed that they cared a lot. I see it also as a c h a l l e n g e . Before, the only one I had to worry a b o u t w a s me. Now I am responsible for both the team and m y s e l f , a l m o s t as t h o u g h I'm assistant coach. Does finishing behind Calvin at the Hope Invitational change your outlook on the season? We k n e w t h a t Calvin had improved and would be tough. The Hope Invitational proved that. It has s t i f f e n e d our d e t e r m i n a t i o n and taken away any doubts the team had about Calvin. When the time comes, we'll do what we have to do and see what happens."
Soccer by Mark Onglery The Hope soccer team played an impressive but disappointing game S e p t e m b e r 22, as t h e y lost to Western Michigan 1-0. It was anybody's match through most of the game until Western Michigan scored the only goal with 15 minutes to play. Fullbacks Brad K i r k , Bill D y r s t e n , and D a v e Silber all had fine performances. T h e following S a t u r d a y , t h e Dutchmen found Michigan State a more formidable opponent.
