OCTOBER 11, 1979
Activities for all abound as Hope will celebrate the 1979 Homecoming next weekend. The weekend will feature concerts, alumni reunions, and athletic competition, according to Vern Schipper, director of alumni affairs. Homecoming weekend will begin with a concert in the Kletz featuring the Hope Jazz band and the Hope Concert band. This event will start at 7:30 p.m. next Friday. A unique feature to this concert are the guest conductors, namely Patricia Blom, designer— costumer and lecturer in theater; Don Cronkite, assistant professor of Biology; and Joseph MacDoniels. assistant professor of communications. "Both bands will be playing 'pops' and big band pieces and seating will be around tables, a la Boston P o p s . " Robert Cecil, professor of music, and director of the Jazz Band said. Saturday morning will start out bright and early with the second annual Run—Bike—Swim. This is an event that took place last year during the dedication ceremonies for the Dow Physical Education Center. The event became so successful that it was decided to make it a regular part of Homecoming activities. Some events do require registration, contact the physical educatjon department office for registration forms. This year's Run—Bike—Swim has been expanded to try to attract more people. A0 10,000 meter run will start in front of the Dow Center at 9:45 a.m. An addition this vear is the 50,000 meter
VanVleck project to finish by Steve M u y s k e n s Monday, Oct. 1, 1979: 7:15 A.M. Six suitcase-toting co-eds gather around the entrance to Van Vleck Hall. They, along with 27 other Hope women, have been promised repeatedly that they could move into the rooms they signed up for last spring. The first projected date of completion was Sept. 1, 1979. Then it was on or before Oct. 1st. This was pushed back to the first week in October. The most recent estimate is that they can move in on or after fall break. The quiet protest of the first broke up soon after convening, without incident, in time for first hour classes. Why were estimates of the completion date so far off the mark? Wes Oosting, foreman/supervisor for Vandermeulen Builders, the general contractors for the Van Vleck project, explained that "most of the delays were simply because of the amount of w o r k . " The workers have not run into any unexpected problems and there has been very little delay on material. Oosting said he " d i d n ' t think the contractors figured it would take quite this l o n g . " But, it is hard to estimate how long a project such as this will take, he explained. It is easier to estimate when building something from scratch; with an older building " y o u don't know what you're going to run into until you s t a r t . . . so many things are h i d d e n . " Also, said Oosting, the demolition involved in renovating an
old building takes extra time. The renovation workers moved into Van Vleck as soon as school was out in May. According to Oosting, the painters have been working 60 hours a week all summer, and Oosting himself has been working 4 2 ^ hours a week trying to get it done on time. But, he explains, "every subcontractor has to wait his turn in l i n e . " Carpenters can't start until the plumbers are done, painters can't start until the carpenters are done, etc. Bruce Johnston, dean of housing, is "disappointed that it's taking so long. But I'm convinced that it's not that they're not w o r k i n g . " Both Johnston and vice-president for Business and Finance Bill Anderson noted that there was a failure to anticipate the length of time necessary to complete the project. Reflecting on the original Sept. I estimate, Johnston said, "It seems to me this might have been somewhat unrealistic." Anderson, who was in charge of contracting the Van Vleck project, agrees that Van Vleck "really was a May through mid-October project I think we would have been much better off had the contractors told us that it could be finished by the end of October instead of the end of A u g u s t . " He added, "If the contractors would have said that it would be more like Oct. 1st before they were done, we could have made different arrangements for housing the Van Vleck students."

not yet been decided.
Originally, Van Vleck was only to be remodeled. The decision to restore the building was made last May, but Anderson estimates that this change added only two to three weeks to the completion date. Changes in plans during the summer entailed the inclusion of an inside stairway instead of an exterior fire escape and the decision to completely re-plaster, instead of patching the existing walls and ceilings. In addition, halfway through the summer, the principal architect of the project went to work for another company and other architects had to cover for him, causing minor delays. Van Vleck women realize the problems that can accompany restoration on this scale, and have been patient with the workers and the administration despite wanting to move into more permanent housing. " T h e deans have done everything they can, and the workers are working as hard as they c a n , " stressed Jane Dekker, one of the Oct. I group. The biggest problem with the current living situations of Van Vleck students is the inconsistency of where they are being housed. Marti Szilagyi says the Alumni House is the " c r e m e de la creme place to l i v e , " but, she notes, "I don't really feel that it's my r o o m . " Sandy Dykstra, in contrast, has been living in the basement of Kollen, which is " o n e of the most inconvenient p l a c e s . " She and her roommate have no bathroom on their floor, but they do have WTAS, the Barbell Club, and the laundry room. Johnston said that, had he known of their situation earlier, he would have assigned them somewhere else to live while Van Vleck is being completed. Brenda White has had "very good accommodations at the Warm F r i e n d . "
Van Vleck women temporarily living at home are. being reimbursed for the time they are living off-campus. But these problems and other minor inconveniences, such as having to move in the middle of the semester and lack of heat in the Alumni House until last Sunday, are being overlooked in anticipation of moving into a completely renovated 19th-century dormitory—4 "the original Hope College." Van Vleckeites seem happy with the way the project is shaping up. The Administration is convinced the school is getting its money's worth. And the workers themselves seem to be taking pride in their handiwork. Commented Oosting, "We operate on the principle 4 if it isn't worth doing right, it isn't worth doing. * The only pilace I can see where we could have cut time is to cut quality.M Gordie Finnic, a painter, is of like mind. 44A place like this takes a lot of t i m e — Most places like this wouldn't be worth doing... there's a that's left here.'*

An important part of Homecoming, the reunions of the class of 1969 and the class of 1974 will begin at 9:30 a.m. Both classes will have brunches in DeWm. Those interested can contact the alumni office or the chairper-
sons for each class: 1969 Cheryl Berens Hulst, or 1974 Joel and Marianne Van Heest Bourrens. The sports events will begin with a field hockey game against Grand Valley State Colleges.

Barfield discusses Lewis Informal conversation with Owen Barfield, a close personal friend of C.S. Lewis, is featured at the second humanities colloquium, to be held this coming Wednesday in the Phelps Conference Room. The colloquium will start at 11 a . m . , with a buffet-style lunch set for 11:45. Reservations are required and can be obtained by contacting the Office of the Dean for the Arts and Humanities (ext. 2180; Lubbers 308). The colloquium is expected to last until 1:15 p.m. The format for this colloquium is unlike colloquia of the past. Instead of a formal lecture, the luncheon will be centered around informal conversation. Barfield was a close friend of Lewis since their college days. They were
both members of the " i n k l i n g s , " ^ group of people at Oxford who met to discuss issues and their stories. Throughout the years, Barfield and Lewis kept in close correspondence and debated and argued quite a bit. Barfield is a solicitor (lawyer) in England, and he has produced several books on literature and language. Some titles that he has written include What Coleridge Thought, Romantism Comes of Age. Poetic Diction, and Rediscovery of Meaning. A special area of his interest is the evolution of human consciousness. Barfield is on his way home from a conference at Michigan State University. Charles Huttar, professor of English and co-director of the Humanities Colloquia, said that " w e are very fortunate to have him h e r e . "
Student presents paper by Doug Deuitch . If any student wonders whether he could be successful in college following some time off, an example should be taken from fellow student Brad Ferguson. Ferguson, a 29-yearold senior and philosophy major who lives off campus with his wife, will deliver a paper at a philosophy conference to be held at Wheaton College in Wheaton, IL next Friday. This conference, held annually, is attended by professional philosophers who come principally from the east and the midwest. These Christian
losophy of the 18th century German philosopher Emanuel Kant. More specifically, the concept of Kant's "Categorical Imperative" is considered. In elaborating on this concept and the idea behind his paper, Ferguson gave the following summary: " K a n t ' s moral philosophy is the most comprehensive expression of morality by law in modem times. He did not create a moral code like the 10 Commandments. Instead, he formulated an all-encompassing law which governs the way we may formulate moral laws. He called it the 'Categorical Imperative.' It states, i will only take as my maxim that maxim which I could will to be a universal fawl* The Categorical Imperative prevents as from formulating maxims (rufes for personal conduct) which would not be suitable for governing the moral life of any rational being. It is based on the intuition that it is unfair to make ourselves an exception in matters of moral obligation. M y paper investigates some difficulties I see in Kant's thesis."
philosophers will be addressing the subject of ethical theory. The format for this type of conference usually consists of a main presentation by a distinguished lecturer, several papers presented by individuals in seminar settings, and a discussion period. The purpose of a conference is not to give awards for the papers presented but rather to exchange ideas, discuss them and give encouragement for further studies. At this particular conference, a special session for student-written papers was included. It is at this session
Ferguson was originally writing this paper as an independent study project for Arthur Jentz, professor of philosophy. Merold Westphal, professor of philosophy and a graduate of Wheaton, suggested Brad submit his paper for consideration for presentation at the special student session. He began work on it in January of this year and finished in August. Following a review by a conference committee, Ferguson's paper was selected as the only student presentation. To have a paper accepted at a conference such as this is quite an accomplishment for someone who left college for four years. In 1969, Brad entered North Texas State University, where he remained for two years, whereupon he transferred to Regent College in Vancouver, British Columbia. Following a year there, he returned to Noith Texas State for two more years but dropped out his last semesterv After getting married, he spent the next four years as a sign painter. When considering returning to college, Ferguson decided to attend a small School with a good philosophy department. He wrote the president of
that Brad will present his paper.

Vorhees Hall, that stately old building on the comer of 10th and College, is cond«mned^«nd with good reason. After all, venerable ivy-covered walls aren't getting any sturdier with the passage of time. Next Tuesday the Board of Trustees will discuss the fate of Vorhees. Presently the headquarters of the education department, Vorhees hangs in limbo between impending
Retreat from real world that matter, don't worry about graduation, Picture, for instance, where you would be if you had gleefully entered the "real world" instead of coming here. The real world might be found to be fraught with friendship and achievement, as well as anonymity, boredom, lies, and just plain squalor. Add to that the "real life" we see in the media and even in political rhetoric and there you have it, real life. ; ' • , " W e l l , " you may be saying, "Whatterrible people you have been talking about!"

Reflections on morality by C l a r k Coding One can take different means to distinguish between rules of morality and nonmoral rules. One of the more simpler means of distinction is by the use of an example, When someone implies a rule, does it apply in general? If someone says "Put salt in your s o u p , " does that mean that you should always put salt In your soup? What if your soup already has salt in it? Here is the case of
m j a rule that does not apply to the general wellbeing of everyone. Thus, a moral rule could be justifiably defined as a rule wjiich has the general well-being of everyone in mind. Thus, a rule such as you should not break promises is a moral rule because it is in the interest of the general well-being of
Improvement is winning In reply to Doug Deuitch's and Prof. Ritsema's letters, 1 would like to answer separately to each of them. In doing so I will try to convey my thoughts on specific parts of their articles. To Mr. Deuitch, I can sympathize with his position. In high school I was one of the front runners, but here I am only an also-ran. The point Mr. Deuitch fails to make is that you can WIN by lowering your time (speaking specifically about track). The middleof-the-pack runners continue to train and enjoy competition immensely because they are improving. This improvement is win-
Library policy clarified In an academic library faculty members do receive a few special privileges. At Hope faculty members do not have the indefinite loans granted by some colleges, although they may request longer periods for special loans. A professor's research project may well extend over several semesters or even years, whereas a student's research does not usually exceed two months. The privilege of a longer loan period is perhaps needed more often by a professor than by a student. Upon occasion the librarians at Hope grant special loans to students, too. Overdue reminders, which include costof-replacement figures in the final notice, are sent to all the borrowers of library materials on the same schedule. ' T h e option of ignoring return dates" is not a privilege given to any one, though some borrowers, students as well as faculty, are inconsiderate and keep books out despite our efforts to get them back. The methods used to effect the return of overdue books vary according to

alleged fact is heard from many people who use it in just as many ways. The way it was used here deserves some attention. Just what might be the definition of the real world? Before meriting real world status, does a situation thave to show a bit of violence, some abuses, literary potential, some d e a t h . . . maybe a silhouette of the Marlboro man in' the foreground as the sun plays out its last rays through the clouds? Do we view ourselves as tiptoeing along on the outskirts of life, lamenting our unfortunate condition? Or was Mr. Coding implying that he, rather than the rest of us, knows what real life consists of, and that the rest of us are too frivolous to know or care? ; To further explore this matter, let's assume that we have graduated from here with honors (grade inflation, you know).

possible to its original form and style, Hope's campus is distinctive in that the buildings are not, as on some campuses, carbon copies of each other—they exhibit character and serve to trace a part of Hope's history and development. The most logical idea yet set forth for the future of Vorhees is to convert it into a dormitory. The College recently purchased several new cottages in an attempt to relieve the campus' overcrowded housing situation. Hope needs a new dorm; there are only so many buildings to be bought as cottages, and they will house only so many people. destruction and possible restoration.

lege, because different methods seem to work better with different groups. Both faculty and students should be making better use of the means we have of getting books for borrowers. Don't assume that a book is not available just because you can't-find it on the shelf. Ask for the book you need, by .call number, at the circulation desk. If the book is checked out, fill out a " H o l d " slip supplied by the library worker, so that we know what you need. We really do get excellent cooperation from borrowers when we ask for early return of materials. Those professors who have books on special loan will, of course, also get books back to the library upon request. Students do have as much access as professors. Please ask us for items you are having trouble finding. We really want students to use library materials with ease. Sincerely, Joyce Nielsen Circulation, Van Zoeren Library "

ning. If it isn't, I don't know what you would call it. In reply to Prof. Ritsema, if he really feels that it is time to take activities a little less seriously, why doesn't he suggest eliminating competitive sports altogether and have just intramural sports? Obviously, this idea would be absurd, but one would not think so from his letter. I wonder how lightly he takes playing an instrument. My reason for coming to Hope was that they had an excellent cross-country team which was closer to my caliber than F.D.U., Oregon, or Villanbva was. And, yes, 1 do expect a coach to be able to show an athlete how to do a specific event. Jimmy Cames, Olympic Track Coach for 1980, designed the ^learning by d o i n g " method of coaching that is sweeping the nation, which might have helped your 5'5" 225 pound basketball coach. Prof. Ritsema's statement, 4 'Obviously we play to win—but life is not over if we do n o t " is realistic. But who said we can't be mad as hell when we lose? Isn't that frustration over a loss the same as the frustration one experiences when he hits a wrong note? Of course it is. This is the point I've been trying to make all along. We do try to win, but when we don't, we figure out what we did wrong and try again. We keep on trying, improving, and winning. Enjoying yourself is fine, but in competitive sports, you have to cominit yourself to winning. Your goal is to WIN. If all you do is improve your time, become a better passer or shooter, or win one more game than you did the year before, then you are also a winner. Butdon'tunderemphasize how important that commitment to winning is. In running, Bob Conklin P.S. "Don't forget to stop and smell the roscv"—luiPbo EUiotL
everyone. Although it might be in your advantage to break a promise, is it in the advantage/good for everyone? If you had everyone feeling that it was all right to break promises, what would happen?—contracts, promises, loan agreements, and the such would be broken without regard to the proinise. The general well-being of everyone would deteriorate/decline. v While in the first case, just because a person does not put salt in his soup will create such a disaster to the human race, his soup might not taste as good as it would with salt, but that is his personal preference. Although it might be one's personal preference to break a moral rule, many don't break them because they recognize and see the general downfall if they do make a decision t0 ^reak a moral rule. Moral rules can be considered to be for the well-being of the whole of civilization, while non-moral rules can be for the well-being of the self. One can differentiate between them and then support the upholding of a moral rule by asking if it is to the advantage of everyone. This is the case when self-egoism enters. Self-egoists argue that one is only interested in himself. When one critically analyzes that argument, one can ask if just because they out

That made ^ e n s e to me, since another inch of styrofoam and water shouldn't cost any more. Well, I was charged $.25, plus $.01 tax for my extra inch, which I grudgingly paid.

d o e s n ' t stop here or there. We at Hope are part of the world and we have a unique opportunity that many people in this world can only dream of. Right here we have access to the arts, the sciences, and those arts which think they are sciences. Even rarer, we have professors who are clear minded (very unusual) enough to purvey this information to us. In short, the real world for us is here and now, you and I. Some Hopers may choose to retreat into books or boredom or some other pretense that feeds on itself. This is one option, one road to take which unfortunately opens even wider "out t h e r e . " There is, moreover, the same option wherever you go.
Okay, enough is enough. I agree. Let's also agree that yes, we are a reflection of the real world. A reflection that ought to be logically reflected upon. Keeping in mind that it's usually easier to pursue delusions than it is to acknowledge their nonexistence. I would suggest that the real world is what one makes of it. This may involve coming to terms with oneself as a condition of understanding the world lurther. Calvin thought so. as did the Greeks: " Know t h y s e l f " might be a good idea. In this adventure, granted the mirror may be dark, but even that isn't known until it is looked into. I guess nothing happens instantly, not even the real world. Sincerely. Ed Tiesenga
Thoughts on morality (continued

rules is the question of, " W e l l , how can I be sure others will keep moral rule^ like m e ? " An example ot th.s is you are running against someone else lor a political office. You have a slighf edge on him, but it is still up m the .nr as to who w ill win. You have a chance to spread a viscious lie about vour opponent that would all but assure >oui victory. Do you apread it? Many people wouldn't, but people wondei. i'l the opponent had the same opponunity, would h e ? " Thus it seems to me that in order to uphold moral rules, there must be a general consensus to do it, with everybody acting to uphold them.
to be cleared up is why do they uphold moral rules if it is not in their interest? Some philosophers have contended that self-egoists uphold moral rules because it is in their interest as a self to uphold them, i.e. they gain something—like the pleasure of seeing an event happen, or being complimented fordoing the " r i g h t " thing. But this contention is questioned by asking if they are really only interested in just themselves. Just because it might be to their interest to keep a moral rule, isn't it also in everybody else's interest? The major difficulty with moral

Eritrea's future unresolved by Habte Teclemariam The E . P . L . F . , as the culmination of the democratic resistance to the reactionary experience, was established to safeguard the interests of the oppressed Eritrean people and assume the continuity of the Eritrean revolution. Right from its inception as a revolutionary organization, it has waged resolute struggles against the primary enemy, the puppets of the Ethiopian colonialists, and the reactionary liquidators. After 1975 in particular, it has achieved great victories against the primary enemy unparalleled in the Eritrean field, on the military as well as on the other fronts. It has expanded and consolidated the liberated areas, crushed hitherto seemingly invincible reactionary forces, and emerged as a firm and powerful revolutionary force. It has convened its first Organizational Congress and ushered in a new era in the Eritrean revolution. Changing its name to the Eritrean People's Liberation Front (E.P.L.F.)—a name that appropriately expresses its progress— it is intensifying its struggle with a new spirit and vigor in order to realize its aims. Haile Slassie's backward feudal regime had perpetuated political oppression upon the Ethiopian people, thrown them into a deplorable state under which they could no longer survive even from hand to mouth, and brought about the decimation through famine of hundreds of thousands. It had unleashed barbarous atrocities against nature and property in order to colonize and oppress the Eritrean people. After ruling for more than forty years, the old regime collapsed in 1974 as a result of the struggle of the Ethiopian people and the blows of the Eritrean people's revolution. However, as there was not any organized political party or force capable of leading the Ethiopian people's struggle to victory during the decline and fall of Haile Slassie's barbarous regime, the Dergue, a clique of officers made up of Haile Slassie's former henchmen, was able to seize state power. At the moment of crisis when the military clique, hurriedly banded together from here and there, usurped state power, self-styled pseudoprogressive intellectuals who coveted the vacant chairs immediately jumped to the side of the Dergue and became its accomplices. As its chief sycophants and henchmen, their role is to disguise

the Dergue's fascism and its antipeople crimes through sloganeering. The Dergue declared "Ethiopian Socialism" to isolate fhe Eritrean revolution and the Ethiopian people's democratic movements as well as to deceive tl^e Eritrean and the Ethiopian masses. As if socialism is something that can be brought about through declarations and military coup d'etas, the Dergue claims to have achieved "soc i a l i s m " in Ethiopia through meaningless declarations within a year. That all the Dergue's clamour and fanfare are designed for public consumption and deceit and not for the interests of the starving Ethiopian masses is concretely demonstrated by the rapidly deteriorating living conditions of the masses as well as the growing resistance of the democratic forces and oppressed peoples in Tigrai, Wollo, the Ogaden, and the Oromos lands in the south and southwest of the country. These slogans, lacking popular organs for their implementation, are being declared to deceive the people, to generate a war economy, and for external consumption. In no way do they serve the interests of the masses of the Ethiopian workers and peasants. The Ethiopian workers have derived no gains from the nationalization of domestic or foreign capital. Far from seizing power and playing their vanguard role, they are denied their basic human rights. The peasants are also deriving no benefits, as the land nationalization has remained a decree on paper. Nowhere is the Dergue's essence more clearly evident than in its views and actions regarding the Eritrean question. None of the Dergue's continuously changing economic, political , and military policies can be seen in isolation from the millions of dollars it is pouring into Eritrea, the conspiracies it has been hatching to subvert the just struggle of the Eritrean people, and the barbarous and fascist military operations it has been conducting. The Dergue's fascism against the Eritrean people has few historical parallels. As the-primary objective and policy of the Dergue is to annihilate-the Eritrean revolution through military force, it has from time to time made several attempts to realize this dream. Its first attempt, in February 1975, was aimed at the annihilation of the Eritrean revolution within a month, but was turned back when the Dergue suffered its first historic defeat. The second time, trying to reduce the oppressed Ethiopian rural masses

into instruments of its military aggression, it mobilized, through compulsion and deceit, scores of thousands of miserable peasants and dispatched them to Eritrea under the guise of a ' 'Volunteer C a m p a i g n . " This attempt was also crushed before it could even set foot on Eritrean soil. Since then, it has made various attempts under different names, such as the deployment of the Israeli trained " N e b e l b a l " (Flame Brigade). They have all failed under the powerful blows of the Eritrean people's revolutionary army. After all this, the Dergue has been conducting all sorts of military operations, until 1976 with U.S.-granted weapons and ammunitions. Once the U.S. pipeline stopped, the Dergue switched alliances with Cuba and the Soviet Union, from whom Ethiopia received military equipment valued between $1 billion and $1.5 billion, roughly four or five times the value of U.S. military aid delivered to Ethiopia between 1953 and 1977. The Dergue's second tactic is political and aims at isolating the Eritrean revolution internally and externally. It has been raising the slogan of "peaceful s o l u t i o n " to camouflage its military preparations, while intensifying its war of aggression. The first slogan of "peaceful solut i o n , " lacking concrete proposals, failed miserably along with its February 1975 offensive. Since then, it has made several attempts in the hope of creating schisms within the Eritrean revolution. Finally, it has openly declared that its "peaceful solution" means "internal a u t o n o m y " under its own terms and is busy conducting a frantic political campaign. As this kind of peaceful solution has found no audience internally, it is mainly directed outside to swindle world opinion and isolate the Eritrean revolution internationally. However, the Eritrean revolution has, in the face of all obstacles, taught the Dergue a big lesson by exposing its fascist essence and crushing its aggres- , sive military campaigns ever since the cessation of the civil war. Eritrea is a colonial and semi-feudal country. The vast majority of its people are peasants who live from hand to mouth under backward agriculture and nomadism. The natural and human resources of Eritrea serve the colonialists. Political power, factories, banks, ports, and trade are all in the hands of Ethiopian colonialism. Extensive fertile land has been taken away from the people in the name of state domains serving the colonial regime, foreign exploiters, and their Eritrean collaborators. As a result, the livelihood of the toiling masses of the people continues to deteriorate, going from bad to worse conditions. Eritrean workers are deprived of all rights, receive extremely low wages, suffer from severe employment, and live under extremely bad conditions. Ethiopian colonialism is striving hard to destroy the Eritrean identity by suppressing the culture and traditions of the Eritrean people. They sow religious, nationality, tribal, and regional discord to wreck the unity and undermine the progress of the Eritrean people. Colonialist Ethiopia could not have occupied Eritrea or fought against the' Eritrean people for so long without the political, military, economic, and diplomatic support of the U.S. and Israel until early 1977 and that of the Soviet Union and Cuba from 1977 up to the present, it is crystal clear that the military capability which it is daily using to kill the Eritrean people and destroy their livelihood is entirely dependent upon decisions from the Kremlin and Havana.

The enemies of the Eritrean people are Ethiopian colonialism, foreign interference, and domestic reaction. It is inevitable, therefore, that the Eritrean people wage a national and democratic struggle in order to defeat these forces, which are the obstacles to the development of Eritrean society. To achieve independence and freedom, peace and justice, prosperity and progress for the Eritrean people, the E.P.L.F. and the E.L.F. have agreed to establish a joint military command and to merge their respective civilian admiiustrations, and as their first post-merger decision have invited the E.L.F./P.L.F. .to join them so as t a fifthtflieenemy iogell|er until completed

Luck was with the Dutch, however, as one of the zebras on the field saw a defensive man holding, giving Hope the ball on opponents' 32. Two plays later Damon again was the target of Spencer and this time he was brought down at the 13yard line. Cameron took a pitch on the next play and scooted all the way in to give Hope a 10-0 lead. The fireworks didn't stop there, however, as on " K ' s " first set of downs Ross Nykamp picked off Tom Ranville's pass and brought it all the way down to the 13. Three Cain rushes later and Hope had the advantage 17-0 with 11:05 left in the second quarter. Kalamazoo cut that lead to 14 points as the " K " kicker squeezed one over the bar from 37 years just as the gun sounded. Hope 17. Kalamazoo 3.

Spencer sneaked in from the 1 to give Hope the 24-3 lead, and the game ended with the identical slate. Special mention for the game has to go to the offensive line, center Gary de Koekkoek. guards Stev» DeLoof and Mike LaPres, and tackles Scot Vander Meulen and Craig Groendyk, whose blocking allowed Cain to pick up 95 yards and Cameron 91. On defense, Walter Webb had four quarterback sacks and Ross Nykamp picked off two Hornet aerials. Another interesting sidelight to the game was coach Ray Smith picking up his 62nd win as the head coach of the Hope's Walter Webb makes one of the four quarterback sacks of last Flying Dutchmen. This ties him for the week's game against Kalamazoo. Because of the outstanding per- lead with former head coach, now defensive coordinator, Russ deVette for formances of Webb and other Dutchmen, Hope won 24-3.

by Tim Taylor The football team opened its MIAA season at Kalamazoo last Saturday ayainsl a 3-U Hornet squacf and cSme away with a convincing 24-3 victory. The big difference in the game was the Hope offense, which finally got untracked and racked up 346 yards of offense, 235 of that on the ground. The game began with K-zoo driving the ball up the field until they reached midfield. Then the Hope defense came through to make a couple of tackles for losses, one by Walter Webb and the other by Steve Bratschie. forcing the Hornets to punt the ball away to the H O D C 35-vard line. A perfectly set up
screen pass play from Mark Spencer to Paul Damon was sprung loose with an excellent block by center Gary Dc Koekkoek aridBamdh rambled all the way down to the Kalamazoo 23. T w o plays later Spencer lofted a pass to fullback Ed Cain, who made a spectacular diving catch to give the Dutch a first down on the 5-yard line. The offense was unable to penetrate the Hornet 4 t K " defense, however, and Greg Bekius had to be called in to drill one through from 24 yards to make the score 3-0 with 4:30 left in the first quarter. By the start of the second quarter Hope was driving again as thev already

Booters lose to Calvin Last Saturday the Hope soccer team travelled to Grand Rapids to dual with the undefeated Calvin Knights. Both Hope and Calvin were undefeated in league play on entering the game. Saturday's clash was to determine the sole league leader. Saturday was a day of tough defense and missed goals. The first goal came early in the first half when Mark Recker blazzed a shot past the Hope goalie. Recker's goal was the only goal to be scored in the first half although Calvin got off many shots. The second half started with a flury of shots between both teams, but resulted in no goals. The ineffectiveness of the shots was partly due to the good play of both goalies. Pal Malone for the
Dutchmen and Doug Dejong for the Knights. Hope finally put the tying goal on the scoreboard when Bob Shoemaker riffled a shot past Calvin's goalie. This goal ended Hope's scoring for the afternoon although Jim DeJulio made many feverish attempts at trying to cjialk up another goal for the Dutchmen . Calvin claimed their stake to the game with IVi minutes remaining to play when George Saa put in the game winning goal. Both fans and players alike starred in disbelief because Saa's winning shot came from what seemed an impossible angle, almost horizontal with the Hope goal. This made the final score 2-1 in Calvin's favor.
Harriers take Kazoo By Doug C u s h m a n Hope's cross-country team won its first dual meet of the year on the road against Kalamazoo with a score of 22-35. Leading Hope's entourage were Mark Northuis and freshman sensation John Victor. Northuis toured the five-mile course in 26:37 with Victor just behind at 26:39. Dick Northuis, a very strong runner, was 4th with 26:52. Other finishers in the top five were freshmen Mike Schmuker and Larry Fischer, 7th and 8th respectively. Hope will not run against Kalamazoo again until the MIAA meet Nov. 3 at Calvin. Hope had its best performance ever at the Notre Dame Invitational by taking 13th place out of 30 schools. When one takes into consideration the fact that many of the schools participating were much larger Division II Universi-
ties, it was an impressive display. The team defeated theirleague rivals in the contest as well. Mark Northuis was 51st out of 208 runners, John Victor placed 67th. Larry Fischer took 76th, Dick Northuis was 85th, and Mike Schmuker finished 122nd. This totaled 406 points, 10 points better than Albion's 416 points, our closest league opponent. ' Hope has had a very good season so far, but the real challenge is yet to come. The Dutchmen must face and defeat the remainder of their league foes in dual meet action.
Volleyball record 5-2 The Volleyball team suffered its second defeat in league play and also of the season Saturday to a tough Albion team by the score of 15-7, 13-15, 15-10, and 15-6. They also won a non-league encounter over Aquinas of Grand Rapids with the final slate of that match reading 15-12 and 15-8. These matches make their overall record 5-2 while their league tally is 3-2. Elsie Jerez once again led the V-ballers as she had her hand in on 24 points in the Albion match. Also playing an excellent match for the women were Jos Mand and Sue Williams with five spikes apiece. The team played Kalamazoo Tuesday and will play Friday at Spring Arbor against Lake Superior State and Spring Arbor.
