Ford lectures...

Little publicized, well attended Former President Gerald Ford m a d e a little-publicized l e c t u r e s t o p on t h e Hope c a m p u s on O c t o b e r f o u r t h . He spoke to Economics and Political Science students in Wichers Auditorium in two sessions, both well-attended.

Ford, accompanied by Van Wylen and numerous Secret Service men, m a d e his a p p e a r a n c e in his f a m i l i a r t h r e e - p i e c e s u i t , well tanned and smiling.

FORD was greeted by warm a p p l a u s e , and he r e m i n i s c e d briefly about his youth on Ottawa Beach before beginning his formal remarks. The federal budget was t h e s u b j e c t of t h e f i r s t half of F o r d ' s r e m a r k s , followed by a c o m p a r i s o n of his own e n e r g y goals while still in office as

"Carnival" is just the beginning of the theatre season at Hope. The second show this semester will be the classic tragedy. "Oedipus the King," directed by Donald Finn.

"Oedipus" will open December 1.

SECOND semester brings something new to Hope Theatre student directors of major season shows. Susan Moored and Kevin Kelley will be directing the spring s h o w s . Moored has chosen t h e d e l i g h t f u l family-comedy " L i f e With Father," which will open in February.

Pending the release of production rights, Kelley will direct a recent play entitled "The Runner' Stumbles." A play of life and love, "The Runner Stumbles" begins A p r i l 27. T h e 1977-78 s e a s o n provides an interesting line-up of productions for the Hope Threatre goers.

compared to Carter's.

Ford expressed concern at the ever-increasing proportion of the federal budget which is spent on domestic concerns. He claims that the private sector should be more active, taking over many of the responsibilities which government now shoulders.

FORD maintained that he and Carter have essentially the same views on the energy crisis; he feels their difference lies in the matter of d e g r e e . Both s u p p o r t t h e a c c u m u l a t i o n of a s t o c k p i l e of c r u d e oil, both s u p p o r t n u c l e a r energy, though Carter will admit to m o r e r e s e r v a t i o n s a b o u t its safety.

Both feel t h a t some p r o g r a m should be instituted to encourage

gas c o n s e r v a t i o n , t h o u g h t h e nature of those programs differs.

NONE OF the questions during the question-answer period was earth-shattering; rather, they reflected a conservative student body. Concerns voiced were: the i n e v i t a b l e conflict b e t w e e n t h e energy forces and the clean air forces; whether there should be m o r e or less r e s t r i c t i o n s for business; the fate of alternative energy research and development; t h e c o n t i n u i n g g r o w t h of t h e national debt; and the future of oil and natural gas price controls.

Ford's sense of humour surfaced when he was a s k e d w h a t he thought of Bert Lance. "What do I think of B e r t L a n c e ? " F o r d repeated. "I barely know him, but I've read something about him."

Holland area businessmen, queried on their hiring plans for the final q u a r t e r of 1977 ( O c t o b e r , November, December), are optimistic in their forecasts, according to a quarterly survey of Holland area businessmen released Tuesday by M a n p o w e r , t h e w o r l d ' s largest temporary help service.

JERRY HORNE, m a n a g e r of Manpower's Holland office, said, " M a n p o w e r ' s s u r v e y found t h a t 33% of the businessmen queried h a v e i n t e n t i o n s of h i r i n g new employees during the final three months, indicating that 1977 will have a positive close. Particularly encouraging were the reports from manufacturing firms where m o r e t h a n half of t h e f i r m s contacted have plans to hire new w o r k e r s for t h e n e x t q u a r t e r , " Home said.

Overall, 50% of the firms do not expect any change in their employment levels, and only 17% are contemplating any reductions in their employment.

IN ADDITION to the optimism among manufacturing firms, employers in the service industries and t h e r e t a i l and wholesale merchants also have hiring intentions for this final quarter of 1977.

The findings of the Manpower survey on a national basis indicate t h e U.S. h i r i n g outlook is o p t i m i s t i c for t h e final t h r e e months of 1977 with no slowdown anticipated. The survey results indicate businessmen expect hiring a c t i v i t y to c o n t i n u e at a h e a l t h y pace d u r i n g t h e final q u a r t e r of t h e y e a r ( O c t o b e r , November and December).

ONE-THIRD (33 percent) of the employers surveyed anticipate additional hiring which is equal to the hiring projections reported in a similar Manpower survey taken

last J u n e and above the hiring a n t i c i p a t i o n s of a M a n p o w e r survey taken one year ago when 30 percent of the survey sample projected increases.

Some weakness does appear this quarter with nine percent of the employers projecting cutbacks in hiring between now and the close of 1977. This is higher than the six percent predicted in last quarter's M a n p o w e r s u r v e y but equal to e x p e c t a t i o n s r e p o r t e d by Manpower for the fourth quarter of 1976. For the rest of the year 55 percent of those surveyed anticipate no change in their employment levels.

AS EXPECTED in anticipation of the upcoming holiday season, the strongest hiring projection came in the Wholesale and Retail Trade sector where 41 percent of t h e r e s p o n d e n t s indicated t h e y would increase hiring levels.

This is up from a projected 30 percent increase in hiring projected for t h e W h o l e s a l e - R e t a i l c a t e g o r y in M a n p o w e r ' s J u n e survey. The Wholesale and Retail sector accounts for 22 percent of the country's non-agricultural employment.

THE SOUTHERN region of the c o u n t r y c o n t i n u e s to lead t h e nation in hiring expectations as it has for the last two consecutive Manpower surveys with 37 perc e n t of t h e r e g i o n ' s e m p l o y e r s expecting additional hiring. All 10 i n d u s t r y s e c t o r s for t h e S o u t h e x c e e d t h o s e of t h e national sample in hiring plans.

The West, although down from last quarter's Manpower survey, is s i g n i f i c a n t l y h i g h e r in h i r i n g expectations (32 percent) than one year ago. The Northeast continues t o lag national f i g u r e s with 29 p e r c e n t of t h o s e i n t e r v i e w e d (continued on page 2)

Girl grabbers ...and prevention "Girl g r a b b e r s " a r e l u r k i n g H o p e ' s c a m p u s . A c c o r d i n g to Holland Police Officer Cindy F r i c k e , t h i s s e e m s to be t h e problem in Holl&nd.

GIRL grabbers are males who grab girls, not abduct but touch.

Their main hangout seems to be college campuses.

Since the Gilmore incident with t h e man in t h e b a t h r o o m , preventative measures have gone into effect. One is that Gilmore now has an escort system in which males -ere not allowed to enter Gilmore after lock up without a female escort.

THE COSMOS have also volunt e e r e d t h e i r s e r v i c e s to e s c o r t anyone any time of the day or night and their names have been p o s t e d v a r i o u s places on t h e campus along with their extension n u m b e r s . H e a d r e s i d e n t of Gilmore, • Barbara Luttrell, is really p l e a s e d by t h e i r i n t e r e s t and wants them to know that "Gilmore thanks the Cosmos."

When incidents are reported to Campus Police or Holland Police, there is immediate action to take care of the complaint. The man f r o m t h e G i l m o r e i n c i d e n t has been arrested, has plead guilty, and is awaiting sentencing.

FRICKE explains, "If we don't

know what's going on, we can't prevent it."

Public S a f e t y d i r e c t o r , Mr. Glenn Bareman says to call Public Safety first. Someone is always there that is trained in getting descriptions and information on what happened, when it happened, and where. He will have someone sent to the location of the incident immediately, usually faster than the police, to begin investigating.

PUBLIC S a f e t y officials feel that these incidents are serious but Bareman feels t h a t sometimes "Rumors go bananas." However, the true parts should not be taken lightly and he f e e l s e v e r y o n e should be aware.

Most i m p o r t a n t l y , B a r e m a n , L u t t r e l l , and F r i c k e a g r e e t h a t e v e r y t h i n g should be r e p o r t e d .

Luttrell said, "Some people hesit a t e in t e l l i n g w h a t h a p p e n e d .

They shouldn't. Call the police or Public Safety first and immediately." F r i c k e v o l u n t e e r s h e r s e l f , "Have the girls call me anytime.

I'm here from eight to five, just ask for Cindy."

The three of them just want to express the importance of reporting things, they feel it's more than necessary. There's Public Safety, Holland Police, and a lot of preventative measures.

Former Kennedy appointee to speak On an early May night in 1961, the thirty-five-year-old neophyte chairman of the Federal Communications Commission shocked the 2000 d e l e g a t e s a t t e n d i n g t h e National Association of Broadcast e r s c o n v e n t i o n in W a s h i n g t o n , D.C., by telling them what they didn't want to be told.

"I INVITE you to sit down in front of your television set when your station goes on the air, and s t a y t h e r e , " said N e w t o n N. Minow, one of John F. Kennedy's New Frontiersmen. "You will see a vast wasteland..."

For t h a t s p e e c h , Minow was c o m p a r e d with J o n a h , s e n t to preach the wickedness of Ninevah.

Newsweek called him "the most i m p o r t a n t single b r o a d c a s t i n g figure in the most TV-conscious nation on earth." Other broadcasters called him intemperate, ignorant, and arrogant.

MINOW will be on H o p e ' s campus on October 20 and 21 as our a n n u a l P h i Beta K a p p a l e c t u r e r . On T h u r s d a y , O c t o b e r 20, Minow will a d d r e s s a community hour audience on the subject of "Presidential Debates."

Minow served as cochairman of t h e L e a g u e of W o m e n V o t e r s ' Committee t h a t coordinated and a r r a n g e d t h e 1976 p r e s i d e n t i a l election debates between Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter.

M I N O W S s c h e d u l e will also include discussions on the presidency and television in Professor Hoeksema's Political Science Seminar on the Presidency Thursday, and discussions on electronics of the future in Professor Nielson's class on Mass Media Friday.

On Friday afternoon Minow will team with Burr Tillstrom, creator of K u k l a , F r a n and Ollie, to explore and discuss the problems, advances, and future of television.

Stratford ...

Theatre, finagling and fun On September 23rd, 85 Hope students and friends boarded cars, v a n s , a n d b u s e s to t r a v e l t o Stratford, Ontario, to attend the Shakespeare Festival Theater. I managed to join the expedition by finagling the fare from the anchor in exchange for a promise of a story -the human interest slant.

I managed to escape the Flying Dutchman bus fate, and boarded a van late Friday afternoon. I sat in the back seat, and by experimentation discovered that if I leaned on it hard, I could keep the interior anel of the van from rattling; if I r.et my head hang to the other side, it was hardly jarred at all.

Thus contorted, I viewed the freeway scenery from Holland to the restaurant outside Flint where we stopped for dinner.

It was in the restaurant that we learned that the Flying Dutchman had been involved in an accident; apparently the bus had failed to stop at a traffic light and had hit two cars.

No one was hurt, we were told, but we were provided with lively dinner conversation. Later reports assured us that no one had been hurt, and that the brakes, which w e r e r u m o u r e d to h a v e failed, would be duly repaired.

We arrived at the Queen's Inn before midnight, where some were delighted and some dismayed by t h e a s s i g n e d r o o m s . T h e r e was some confusion and much swapping of rooms, which did nothing to win the affection of the already glowering night clerk.

The hotel was apparently in the constant process of remodeling: some r o o m s had b e a u t i f u l tiled b a t h r o o m s , o t h e r s had b u t a rusting sink and a community john down the hall. Furniture ranged from 60's suburban to repainted Depression-era; peeling paper and f l a k i n g p l a s t e r w e r e common sights.

Most of this was met with good humour, however: what Holiday Inn has much character?

I'm sure many took advantage of the morning to explore the city and its shops, but I wasn't awake to join them. After breakfasting at a Copper-Kettle sort of restaurant (with, of course, E l i z a b e t h a n d e c o r ) , we set out t o w a r d t h e theater about six blocks away.

The first play we were to see was Richard III, which, in reading, I had often found tedious. It being a drizzling, grey day, many feared t h a t t h e play m i g h t p r o v e too o p p r e s s i v e . F o r t u n a t e l y , Brian Bedford played Richard with such humour and life that the play was made lively, and all the family ties and political maneuverings of the plot were made quite comprehensible.

Maggie Smith appeared regal as Elizabeth; her stage presence and command distinguished her from her contemporaries. And if one

had any trouble following the plot, one could hear English professors t h r o u g h o u t t h e a u d i e n c e recapping )ing tm the action during each scene break.

Dinner between plays was to be f ound w h e r e v e r one had t h e f o r t u n e of finding a t a b l e . We found one at Gene's Chinese Rest a u r a n t (no E l i z a b e t h a n decor, certainly-this time it was rather gaudily Chinese). After dinner we bought French cigarettes so we could look like natives when we lit up at intermission.

As You Like It was to be our evening fare. Both Brian Bedford and Maggie Smith r e a p p e a r e d , Bedford in a minor role, and Smith in the leading; role of Rosalind, half of one of tne four couples who undergo trials but are all wed in t h e e n d . Maggie S m i t h was delightful, energetic; a sympathetic parody of young love.

Having witnessed at close quart e r s t h e e x h a u s t i o n of H o p e ' s summer troupe, which does one performance and one set change a day d u r i n g t h e s u m m e r , I was astounded by the endurance of the actors. The acting was uniformly good; the costumes were luxurious; the lighting subtle.

The unstructured nature of the t r i p m a d e it possible for each person to suit his own interests, whether with a rainy stroll in the theater gardens, a look about the neighboring art gallery, shopping in curio shops and bookstores, or drinking in one of the many pubs and taverns.

A l t h o u g h t h e t r i p was sponsored by the English department, people from v a r i o u s disciplines and various institutions took part.

Theater's uninitiated were treated to good theater and high adventure; the initiate were, perhaps, less awed, but they shared the adventure. The annual Stratford t r i p has become an a d m i r a b l e tradition.

Hope: Competing with the biggies In these days of the big college era, it is good to know that a small college such as Hope can still compete with the bigger schools. I don't m e a n sports competition, eitherl T h e consensus of the people feel that a big college such as Michigan State or U. of M. are the only places that have any "vital happenings" on campus. By the term "vital happenings" I mean a prominent person lecturing or a famous group giving a performance on campus.

Not sol This is what 1 mean by competition. Granted Hope may be small but we are alive enough to have prominent people lecturing and famous groups performing here.

How many large schools have had the opportunity for their students to hear such famous people as former president Gerald R. Ford or renowned anthropologist Margaret Mead speak on the campus?

Not many, but Hope has.

This just goes to show the typical person that small colleges such as Hope can be just as "vital" as some of the bigger schools.

Other big names visiting Hope have been Ron Nessen, former White House Press Secretary; Robert DeLancey, president of Republic Steel Corporation: Robert Hoack, president of Lockheed Corporation, and Dr. Gerald O'Neill, who is currently involved in extensive research in the construction of space colonies.

Parent deplores Pull draw....

Dear Mr. Vanderwel, As a parent, I whole-heartedly disagree with your decision to call the 1977 Pull a draw! First of all you can't be serious when you state the purpose of the Pull is only to create a rally between two classes and to share and unify around a common experience.

It is for this that men run, j u m p , do push-ups, sweat, groan and pull trees out of the ground for three weeks? Nonsense!

T h e Pull is a display of guts, grit, determination, sweat and teamwork, the likes of which I have never before witnessed.

How can you call such a contest a draw?

There were no prior rules to allow for this or to set a time limit on the contest. How could a draw unify two teams who worked for four hours and then ended a contest with no decision?

My son has been on the Pull team for two years. I must tell you that I have been his fan since he was eight years old and have viewed every game in every sport that was possible for me to attend. No prior event can equal the excitement, suspense and tension that accompanies the Pull.

But parents must learn to be concerned without interfering. Parental interference would have gone out with Little League ('tho I must confess I didn't interfere even then). Participants in the Pull are intelli-

great performers such as Jazz great Dave Brubeck will be coming to Hope in the near future.

Much of the credit for bringing these speakers and performers here goes to the Cultural Affairs Committee (CAC). It is wonderful that Hope can have such a committee that organizes and arranges these affairs.

T h e CAC has funding available for bringing these attractions to campus. If you or your organization know of a someone that you would like to appear on Hope's campus, let the CAC know about it.

They will do all they can to assist you in your goal.

T h e Great Performance Series also brings well known performers and artists to campus. In addition, individual departments also sponsor such speakers.

This is all done for you. You have the opportunity to attend these events and hear the speakers. Take advantage of it.

Don't just let this opportunity slip through your fingers.

You should be glad that Hope offers you these opportunities. How many other large or small schools do this to the degree that Hope does. In doing so, Hope is certainly keeping u p with the biggies.

gent, well disciplined men, capable of making a decision to stay or withdraw.

Can you imagine the chaos of parental interference in other sporting events?

Parents have to learn to accept defeat with their children and sometimes that is an agonizing event. But as a loyal parent and fan I can truly say the decision to call Pull '77 a draw was painful in the extreme for me and I know the teams' feelings must be multiplied by much more.

When you lose, you get over it, you live with it -- it was a fair outcome, but a draw after four hours leaves you with a void, a question, a doubt!

T h e 1977 Pull ended on the worst possible note. I disagree with the decision, that's true, but that decision aside, the way it was handled was unfair and uncalled for.

In a contest such as this you should have alerted both sides, individually, of your impending decision. A time limit could then have been given and each team would have been given an equal chance to settle the final outcome.

I'll be back next year for my third Pull -- so let the rules be known but let the participants win or lose with dignity!

Yours truly, Lois S. Backefen A Parent

by K. Gary Hasek T h e Same Old God "Major Premise: God is a custom.

Minor Premise: A custom is an old, old habit.

Conclusion: Therefore God is an old, old habit." from Calvin Miller's T h e Singer Those of us who are attempting Christianity as a way of life more likely than not come to points in our existence where God has become mere habit. Whatever out-

ward actions that have brought us previously to a closer relation to our God have become sordid routine. Perhaps we even look at God as if he is there but, because of varying combinations of circumstance, take him for granted.

Lance affair ... Carter's fault

by Dr. Douglas Heerema Department of Economics I would prefer to judge this administration on whether or not their policies will promote economic growth, sound money, peace, security, etc. What is revealed about any individual's failure to meet "extraordinary standards" before assuming office is of lesser importance to me.

3) Mr. Lance's position in government made him exceptionally vulnerable. He was perceived as an obstacle by many who desired to see the Treasury of the United States engage in increasing its overdrafts, the very same policies they indict Mr. Lance for doing in his personal life.

Also exacerbating his vulnerability, in my opinion, was his possession of a sense of humor and skepticism, and, what is apparently anathema today, that he once was a businessman.

I do not desire to exonerate Mr. Carter.

He has been trapped in his own rhetoric by promising established standards that are impossible. I just lament that the one member of his administration staff who suffered from one more of Carter's unfulfilled promises was the m a n whose views were most closely aligned with mine.

EDITORS NOTE: T h e staff of the anchor would like to make the following corrections to items which appeared in the last issue (Septem ber 30) of the anchor. T h e anchor review titled Bob Hedstrom and Roger Plaxton was not a review of a performance by Bob and Roger, rather it was a review of Wood Dancer that was written by Roger and Bob. Secondly, the signature to the letter to the editor entitled "Now do you think this is funny?" was inadvertently omitted. It was submitted by the black coalition.

It is hard for me to understand why the revelation that the director of OMB ran overdrafts disqualifies him from operation of an office dealing directly with a government running a $60 billion deficit. I would think it would add rather than detract from his qualifications.

My own observation of the so-called Lance episode is: 1) Bert Lance apparently was involved in "cash flow" problems of the type that will be more prevalent in any career involving financial matters. Problems like these do not establish the case of any ethical imperfections although if such imperfections do exist there will be such problems.

Unfortunately these problems arise because of the insistence of what are at least to me, "extraordinary standards", upon those who enter public life. It is analogous to a person who shoots his parents and then throws himself on the mercy of the court as an orphan.

2) T h e important judging of any administration, or its officials, should be on the economic and social effects of the substantive policies they attempt to enact rather than ethical standards.

Philosophy and the Christian life

by Arthur H. Jentz, Jr., Professor of Philosophy "1 want to study Philosophy so I can defend my Christian beliefs."

Those w e r e almost the first words spoken to m e by a new s t u d e n t several years ago. H e had grown up in a Christian environment and had just enrolled in a Christian college. He was also, as this became a p p a r e n t , an intelligent and capable s t u d e n t . H e had heard from o t h e r s certain f e a t u r e s characteristic of Philosophy courses; and he immediately saw a connection between Philosophy and his Christian commitment.

Philosophy's role w a s to be t h a t of trainer and servant: to help him d e v e l o p s k i l l s in a r g u m e n t a t i o n and to provide him with intellect u a l m e a n s of d e f e n d i n g his Christian beliefs. Logical skill and Christian apologetics: Philosohy's contribution to a Christian iberal a r t s education.

If you w h o a r e r e a d i n g t h i s article are a Christian college student, t h e n perhaps it is--at least for now-sufficient t o your educational objectives to see the role of Philosophy in the aforesaid way.

To see Philosophy as cultivating your rational skills with a view toward Christian apologetics afaffords you certain a d v a n t a g e s : 1) you immediately see a point in studying Philosophy; 2) you see the potential importance of Philosophy's contribution to t h e Christian life; 3) you can envision some practical applications of Philosophy to t h e issues t h a t most concern you. After all, what would theology a m o u n t to w i t h o u t philosophic concepts and arguments?

You can t a k e heart from a n o t h e r consideration as well: Philosophy has o p e r a t e d as a s e r v a n t to Christians before - for several hundred years, in fact. You may suppose t h a t t h a t is the way the relation b e t w e e n Christianity and Philosop h y s h o u l d be. You m a y b e i n t e r e s t e d in seeing a Christian intellectual rebirth along these lines in y o u r own time.

P h i l o s o p h y in t h e s e r v i c e of Christianity! There have been i m p o r t a n t thinkers in this tradition, and t h e y also exhibit g r e a t individuality which distinguishes them one from t h e other: St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, Tolstoy, K i e r k e g a a r d , Tillich, Pannenberg.

N o w h e r e is an i n t e r e s t i n g point: w e r e you to gather some i n t r o d u c t o r y acquaintance with any of t h e thinkers I have just m e n t i o n e d , you w o u l d soon s e e t h a t t h e y in turn a r e intellectually d e p e n d e n t upon o t h e r t h i n k e r s not mentioned: Hegel, Nietzsche, A r i s t o t l e , Plotinus, and Plato.

These a r e not people famous for "defending t h e faith" - Plato and Aristotle lived in Greece centuries before t h e birth of Christ; and Nietzsche found r e a s o n s to attack Christianity as he saw it--but their contributions to Christian t h o u g h t and doctrine are manifest.

The directions-indeed much of the conceptual content-of the history of Christian t h o u g h t a r e inconceivable apart from the c o n t r i b u t i o n s of t h e s e philosophers.

Thus if you are a l e r t and reflective it may well occur to you t h a t t h e r e a r e additional achievements wrought in t h e history of philosophy t h a t m a y be of benefit t o you as you a t t e m p t to think t h r o u g h the issues of life-social, political, artistic, scientific, moral, and religious-even as it was t h e case with countless Christians in earlier ages. n.

Let's p a u s e a m o m e n t now t o reflect upon the course w e have pursued in the previous section.

Consider t h e quotation with which w e b e g a n : ,4 I w a n t t o s t u d y p h i l o s o p h y so I c a n d e f e n d m y Christian beliefs." How does t h a t sound to you now? Maybe it still sounds good to you; but t h e r e is one f e a t u r e of the quotation which has begun t o bother me: It is t h e word " m y " in "I w a n t to defend my Christian beliefs."

f!

To be sure, any belief, to be efficacious in my life must be my belief. But does this suggest t h a t philosophy's role should be t h a t of enabling me b e t t e r to "defend my beliefs"? Of course not, we reply, since many of my beliefs may be mistaken or inadequate. It's my Christian beliefs t h a t philosophy is here to help me defend. But why my Christian beliefs? Why did our a n o n y m o u s s t u d e n t choose to e x p r e s s himself t h a t way?

Maybe because he realized t h a t t h e r e e x i s t s a variety of Christian doctrine and a variety of Christian m o v e m e n t s , denominations, and so-called 44lifestyles." It s e e m s likely to expect t h a t any given C h r i s t i a n will m o s t p r i z e t h e "style" of Christianity in which t h e Christian realities first "came a l i v e " f o r him or h e r : C a m p u s Crusade, Intervarsity, a church c o n g r e g a t i o n . Young Life, a visitation in a monastic community, a quiet period of meditation, t h e civil r i g h t s m o v e m e n t , o r whatever.

It will likely be this form of life that he most wants to defend. And indeed Christianity does exist in "styles": t h e g r e a t temptation is to absolutize t h e style which is one's own, doubting and distrusting t h e other forms of Christian life and those who practice them. Elijah complained to the Lord, "I, even I only am left (among the faithful)."

This elicited the reminder from Y a h w e h t h a t t h e r e w e r e seven thousand in Israel who had not bowed to Baal! Christianity is a variegated and world-wide phenom e n o n : it is p r e s u m p t u o u s t o identify it with a m o v e m e n t made up of oneself, one's friends, and t h e s e c t a r i a n o r g a n i z a t i o n in w h i c h one participates.

T h u s if philosophy's job is to help m e " d e f e n d my Christian beliefs," I had b e t t e r be willing as well to examine those beliefs using the sources available to me for doing so: t h e Bible and t h e study of t h e history of Christianity.

And a t this point another issue c o n f r o n t s m e : H o w can t h e "history of Christianity" be stud i e d a p a r t f r o m t h e social, political, economic, artistic, and scientific events t h a t helped shape that history? A r e n ' t I really demanding of myself t h a t I obtain a liberal education?! Yes, I think I am doing just t h a t .

If in this context, the context of the liberally educated Christian person, the task of philosophy is to provide means for Christian apologetics, then t h e apologetic m e t h o d s o u g h t r i g h t l y to b e directed in the cause of catholic doctrine rather than peculiar religious "insights" and private claims to religious " t r u t h . " That is, p h i l o s o p h y ' s t a s k w o u l d be t h e defense of the apostolic faith, not "my Christian belief."

And indeed this model, wherein philosophy and theology a r e almost indistinguishable from each other, was p r e t t y much t h e r e g n a n t model for the church in t h e M i d d l e A g e s , a n d to' a considerable e x t e n t for t h e Roman Catholic Church to this day. Some P r o t e s t a n t s appreciate this model, and wish to m a k e it their own.

III. Philosophy, of course, can be put to work defending other causes than t h e Christian theological cause. Today, for example, Marxists find it important to acquaint t h e m s e l v e s with philosophic concepts and modes of a r g u m e n t a t i o n in o r d e r to advocate and defend t h e i r i d e o l o g y . I n d e e d in t h e nineteenth century the very concept of 'ideology' came to be a p o p u l a r w a y of e x p r e s s i n g a u n i f i e d s e t of c o n c e p t s w h i c h philosophers w e r e called upon t o champion.

T h e s e 'ideologies' came to b e seen as 'world-views,' 'philosophies of life,' more or less compreh e n s i v e a c c o u n t i n g s of h u m a n existence, political, social, cultural, a n d e c o n o m i c , in w h i c h p e o p l e sought (and seek today) to orient t h e m s e l v e s and o t h e r s toward t h e w o r l d .

Homecoming away

by Jill Vanderlaan "Amy," I said last night, "Do you realize that we are seniors?"

"So?" "So do you realize the full implications of being seniors?" " S u r e . I t m e a n s w e can--" Tlunk, tlunk.

The phone rang. Amy a n s w e r e d it. " H e l l o ? Y e s . . . No, w e d o n ' t really have any... No, nothing...

T h a n k s , b u t go a h e a d w i t h o u t me...Okay. See ya." Clunk. " W h a t ' s up?" I asked.

"Oh, Teddy wondered if we had plans for homecoming."

"That's it! Amy, t h a t ' s the m a j o r implication of being a senior. W e have to find something to do as alumni next year. W e belong to no sororities. Nobody's going to throw us a party."

"Since when do we need someone to throw us a party," said Amy. "We'll stroh our own. We'll be o u r o w n h o m e c o m i n g committee."

"A committee of two?" I asked.

"No. T h r e e . You and me and our black d e c o y c r o w . M i d n i g h t . " times called "Scientism," and so forth.

The role of philosophy in such ideological schemas is very similar to the role of philosophy we traced in Section II: philosophy performs the service of systematizing one's own ideology, "purifying" it of inconsistencies, r e n d e r i n g it more c o m p r e h e n s i v e , d e f e n d i n g it against detractors, and showing w h e r e competing ideologies are mistaken or inadequate. Philosophy is to serve ideological orthodoxy.

I n t o t h i s a r e n a of c o m p e t i n g ideologies, the question arises: Whose side are you on? To which camp a r e you loyal? To what use do you put reason and inquiry?

Are you favoring t h e t r u e cause in your philosophy? Should you not, perhaps, consider your errors, and submit to correction by the o t h e r m e m b e r s of y o u r c a d r e or commune?

If this strikes you as distasteful, you a r e probably thinking of w h a t you have heard about "thought control" in China and the Soviet Union, and about how those intellectuals in Russia have been made to suffer for their deviations from official doctrine. You may begin to wonder whether philosophy's best f u n c t i o n r e a l l y is t h a t of t h e defense of an ideology.

But then someone may tell you: " Th e r e is no alternative. Philosophy will always be t h e defense of some particular view of the world, because t h e r e is no denying t h e subjective e l e m e n t in it: I will argue for what I want, w h a t I decide to believe, do, and be.

The point, therefore, would be to m a k e sure that I believe, do, and be the right thing, the true thing. And t h a t - o n c e decided-I s t i c k t o m y g u n s . H e n c e all philosophy is held to be ideology; and in relation to Christianity, one begins to speak ideologically, as: the Christian "world-view," t h e Christian "philosophy of life," and so forth.

The followers of Yahweh in t h e Old T e s t a m e n t w e r e encountered by their God through t h e prophet I s a i a h f o r t h e y , like us, w e r e fallible to habitual religiousness.

Thus t h e prophet spoke and said t h a t God w o u l d c h a s t i s e t h e m "Because this people d r a w near with their mouth and honor me with t h e i r lips, while their h e a r t s are from me, and their fear of me is a c o m m a n d m e n t of men learned by rote." Isaiah 29:13.

You a r e like w h i t e w a s h e d tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on t h e inside are full of dead m e n ' s bones and e v e r y t h i n g unclean. In t h e same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you a r e full of hypocrisy and wickedness."

M a t t h e w 23:27-28.

Too often t h e disease of those verbally lashed by J e s u s is caught by us who claim to be t h e followers of t h a t s a m e J e s u s . T h e e a r l y church was not void of this predic a m e n t either.

In t h e R e v e l a t i o n of J e s u s Christ to the Apostle John, the risen Savior r e p r i m a n d s five of his churches in Asia for behaviors and a t t i t u d e s which were not appropriate for His people.

He is angered by their sexual immorality, putting up with false views of Christian liberty, forsaking t h e love which t h e y first had for him, being lukewarm in their faith and for having a reputation of being alive, but in actuality being spiritually dead. He, in every case, w a r n s t h e m t o r e p e n t of t h e i r c u r r e n t ways, t o t u r n from what they w e r e doing and r e t u r n to the path t h a t He desired t h e m to walk.

It s e e m s clear that we too must c o n t i n u a l l y e x a m i n e and reexamine our relations with God and with His creation. If we are neglecting love for God, neighbor, or self we must g a t h e r together all resources; our own, our brethren's a n d o u r G o d ' s , to c o r r e c t our infirmities.

Then we may endeavor to do the will of Him, "...who gave himself for u s t o r e d e e m u s f r o m all w i c k e d n e s s and to purify for himself a people that a r e his very own, eager to do w h a t is good."

A bill to relieve the crisis in rising tuition costs, introduced by State Representative Jackie Vaughn III (D-Detroit), has been unanimously passed by the Committee on Colleges and Universities of which he is Chairman.

T H E BILL p r o v i d e s for an appropriation of an additional $1.3 million for state scholarships and t u i t i o n g r a n t s , and w a s cosponsored by all members of the Committee on Colleges and Universities.

The bill, according to Vaughn, will finance educational opportunities for 1,000 m o r e s t u d e n t s , many of whom otherwise would not be able to c o n t i n u e t h e i r education. It is regarded as a stopgap emergency m e a s u r e r a t h e r than a solution to a long-range problem.

V A U G H N s t a t e d , "I do not c o n s i d e r t h i s a d e q u a t e , b u t it m a r k s a b e g i n n i n g . W h a t is needed is a revision of our entire structure of scholarships and aid to college students." He continued, "Unless something is done, higher education will be priced out of the reach of the masses."

Vaughn stressed the urgent need for supplemental funding and said he hopes for quick action on tho hill. Ho o o n s i d o r s e n a c t m e n t of

this bill as a priority item which will reflect the genuine concern and sympathy of t h e Legislature for t h e increasing financial pressures on Michigan students.

Vaughn continued, "Rising tuition costs are simply the result of an inflationary period, with the higher costs being passed on to the students. However, the problem becomes a devastating burden on s t u d e n t s f r o m low and m i d d l e income families," he added.

THE SUPPLEMENTAL a p p r o p r i a t i o n s bill c a m e out of an e m e r g e n c y m e e t i n g of t h e Colleges and Universities Committee and r e p r e s e n t s only a p a r t i a l , s h o r t - t e r m s o l u t i o n to t h e problem. Vaughn stated, "The Committee on Colleges and Universities has a unique role to play in providing aid to cushion students against rising tuition costs. The committee recognizes that not all student needs will be met, and will continue its efforts to find a more complete solution to the problem."

Vaughn concluded, "We cannot allow t a l e n t e d and q u a l i f i e d students to be denied the right to advanced education and professional careers. This would be an u n c o n s c i o n a b l e w a s t e of h u m a n resources."

Hope Barbell Club open The Hope Barbell Club is now open for the year after a slow start. The reason for this slow start was mainly due to the fact that the faculty advisor for the last two and one-half years, Dr. Bill Gillis, has a new professorship at Michigan State.

When he left this summer, the records of the club, and some other important material, went with him because t h e r e was no one around to jfive it to. But t h i n g s a r e straightened out now, and the club is going strong.

The club was originally started in the l%0 , s, and over the years it w a s f o r g o t t e n a b o u t , until D r .

Gillis followed up on some rumors and f ound t h e old w e i g h t l i f t i n g room. From there he got together some interested people who stuck with the club and made it grow big enough to warrant a new room in the basement of Kollen Hall, and Hope's own Olympic weight set, in addition to all the other training weights, bars and equipment of the college.

Joining the club costs $10 yearly

or $6 per semester. This money goes completely for club operation and the purchase of new equipm e n t . Tne e q u i p m e n t t h a t is purchased is decided upon by the club members. All Hope students, professors and alumni are eligible to join the club.

If you want your own key to the club a refundable $5 deposit is required. For information or to join, call t h e t r e a s u r e r , Tom Myers, ex. 4716 or the president, Tharlo Klaver, 392-5277.

Critical philosophy is thus an expressions of the free person in the sense of "freedom" implicit in the expressions "liberal arts" and "liberal education."

" S l a v e s had to be trained in specific job skills fitting them to specific jobs.

Slaves received what we euphemistically call "vocational training." But the "liberal arts" were to enrich human life for the "free" men. And from St. Augustine on, t h e liberal a r t s w e r e seen as virtually essential to Christians who were experiencing a far more sublime sense of "freedom" than Aristotle could have been expected to know. This is the sort of freedom that warrants the exercise of critical philosophy in the life of a Christian.

Speculative philosophy suggests " f r e e d o m " too: a f r e e d o m in imagining, theorizing, constructing, systematizing. But in those cases where Christian intellectuals h a v e d gone out s h o p p i n g for a m e t a p h y s i c s is t e r m s of which they propose to articulate theological truths, and have seized upon s o m e such s p e c u l a t i v e s y s t e m , there typically occurs-I think-a transformation of the speculative s y s t e m back into an ideological "position," so that the intellectual adventure enjoyed by the creative philosopher becomes a dogmatic s y s t e m used to i n s t r u c t and correct people rather than inspire them to adventures of their own.

As for t h e C h r i s t i a n doing original speculative philosophywell, that would be an adventure!

But few people seem to have the w i n g s for such a f l i g h t . P i e r r e Teilhard de Chardin tried i t - b u t found the air full of buckshot! And t h e shooting was coming from other Christians.

VII. In summary: I have specified t h r e e philosophic m o d e l s , t h e ideological, the critical, and the speculative. These all have potential value for the Christian student and intellectual. And t h e habits of t h o u g h t and p r o c e d u r e which philosophy helps you cultivate are important contributions toward t h e shaping of a civilized Christian life.

Cross Country The end of an era?

by Karl Bierbaum

The end of an era? No. The end of a w i n n i n g s t r e a k ? Y e s . T h e Hope cross country team lost their f i r s t d u a l m e e t in f i v e y e a r s S e p t e m b e r 30th at the hands of arch-rival Calvin. A f t e r winning 24 dual meets in a row, the Flying Dutchmen fell by a narrow margin of 27-30.

Hope jumped out to an early lead but the Knights prevailed in the end, claiming four of the first seven spots. F r e s h m a n standout Doug Diekema of Calvin lead all r u n n e r s , c o v e r i n g t h e f i v e mile course in 24:57.

Lou Hoekstra of Hope was 10 seconds behind, while Dick Northuis and Matt McNally finished fifth and sixth r e s p e c t i v e l y .

George Moger, still not up to form a f t e r suffering a preseason injury, c r o s s e d in e i g h t h p l a c e , and freshman Larry Kortering was ninth. But this proved to be not enough.

Traveling to Albion four days later, the Dutch regained their winning ways, running to a 17-45 victory.

H o e k s t r a took t h e individual honors, pacing a 25:40 over t h e bumpy five mile course. The time was a new course record. Northuis came in eight seconds later, and Moger was third.

McNally and Mark H o w a r d rounded out Hope's top five, placing fifth and sixth. Nevin W e b s t e r raced to seventh and Glenn L u t h e r finished ninth.

T h e Flying Dutchmen traveled to N o t r e D a m e U n i v e r s i t y l a s t Friday, home of t h e famed golden dome and t h e Notre Dame Invitational.

HOPE took p a r t in the Gold division, claiming 14th place out of 24 t e a m s . This was the first year t h e r e was two divisions. The Gold race was for all t e a m s t h a t finished b e l o w 2 0 t h p l a c e in l a s t y e a r ' s contest.

Leading the Dutch this day was

Football drops two Olivet next foe t h e s o p h o m o r e s t a n d o u t , Dick Northuis crossing in 52nd with a time of 25:21.

MOGER, w h o c o n t i n u e s t o i m p r o v e with each outing, was 62nd, clocking a 25:34 showing.

Howard placed 80th, in 25:55, with H o e k s t r a 89th.

Mark Ongley, coming off a cold t h a t kept him out of t h e Calvin meet, crossed in 96th with a 26:11 showing. Matt McNally wasn't far behind in 26:23.

B U T t h e big s t o r y w a s t h a t Calvin was also in t h e meet, and t h e Knights w e r e 18th. This sets up t h e big showdown in t h e league meet. If Hope wins t h e meet and the Knights 5lace second, t h e r e will be a co-c lampionship.

C o a c h Wii; i a m V a n d e r b i l t is very optimistic about t h e Dutchmen's chances. "If we can stay healthy, continue to improve, we'll have a g r e a t chance to put the challenge to them in the league m e e t . " V a n d e r b i l t s t a t e d . 4 , We a r e n ' t dead yet!"

Soccer claims three victories

by Glenn Johnson There's a lady in Kalamazoo, Who first bites her oysters in two; She has a misgiving, Should any be living, They'd raise such a hullabaloo!

And let me tell you t h e r e was m o r e t h a n h u l l a b a l o o r a i s e d in g r a n d old K a l a m a z o o a s t h e Dutchmen Soccer team defeated the Hornets last Friday 2-1. This was one of the more "physical" matches t h a t Hope has played yet this season and they came out "smelling like roses" (so to speak of course).

J U A N Ramirez scored the first goal on a p r e t t y pass from Jim DeJulio but K-zoo came back, the H o r n e t ' s Raukema scoring on a p e n a l t y kick m a k i n g t h e s c o r e a f t e r one half of play 1-1.

The action went back and forth on that "wonderful" Angel Field, K u r t Beerboom finally breaking the deadlock blasting an indirect kick p a s t t h e H o r n e t d e f e n s e .

Final score Hope 2, Kalamazoo 1.

THE CONTEST at Alma also proved to bolster the Dutchmen's

W-L r e c o r d . H o p e p o s t e d i t s s e c o n d s h u t o u t of t h e s e a s o n scoring t h r e e goals all in the first half. DeJulio picked up his 7th and 8th g o a l s , b o t h c o m i n g f r o m penalty kicks.

Veteran John Clough followed suit in scoring minutes later giving the Dutch their t h r e e goal margin.

The second half saw Aeolus come to t h e aid of t h e S c o t s s t u r d y eleven but to no avail as Hope's aggressive defense continued to k e e p t h e ball a w a y f r o m t h e i r sacred net. The score remained unaltered, Hope 3, Alma 0.

HOPE then faced a tough contender in Albion last S a t u r d a y but again remained victorious in one of the most perplexing g a m e s yet this season. A confident t e a m took the field...seconds later t h e s u b s t i t u t i o n of a k e y p l a y e r in John Clough, being taken out with a broken nose, took them down a couple of notches.

In a d d i t i o n , A l b i o n p u t t h e p r e s s u r e on and scored to Dave Johnson's left on a scrambled play leaving Hope down one goal and one player. Yet once again Hope

m a d e this tide t u r n and from t h a t point on the name of the game seemed to be, how close can Hope a c t u a l l y g e t t o s c o r i n g a goal without it going in.

EVERYBODY seemed to have a chance and everyone succeeded in )roving that close only counts in l o r s e s h o e s and h a n d g r e n a d e s .

Vlany a shot went high or wide and even the crossbar was used to prove this point.

Corner kicks seemed to be the cure for the disease, Jeff Allen scoring his first goal in the first half and Juan Ramirez doing t h e s a m e early in the second to make the score 2-1, Hope. R e t u r n i n g and literally "breathing fire", Clough and "the H a m m e r " Renze Hoeksema seemed to spark the D u t c h m e n to t h e i r s i x t h w i n .

L a t e r A m e r T a r a k o l i , icing Albion's homecoming cake, raised his a r m s in t h e a i r j u b i l a n t l y signifying another score with final r e s u l t s , H o p e 3, A l b i o n 1.

Hope s next g a m e is at Calvin tommorrow and promises to be a game to be r e m e m b e r e d ! See you there!

The loss gave Hope's football team a record of two victories and two setbacks.

THE HOPE offense could only m u s t e r 140 y a r d s r u s h i n g compared t o Wheaton's 193. But the big story was t h e passing game where t h e Flying Dutchmen could a s s e m b l e only 86 y a r d s as compared to t h e C r u s a d e r ' s 231 yards in the air.

T w i c e in t h e f i r s t half H o p e moved inside t h e Wheaton five, only to have t h e drives stalled by the tough Crusader defense.

THE ONLY Hope scoring came in the third q u a r t e r when quarterback Mark Boyce t h r e w two touchdown strikes to K e n t Suchecki.

score. This win w a s a big s t e p for t h e defending champion's q u e s t for t h e league title.

THE BRITONS scored first on a 16 yard T D pass f r o m Tom C a r r to C u r t Weise in t h e initial period.

Hope retaliated with a t w o yard t o u c h d o w n r u n f r o m Bill Blauiere. Albion scored again when a r r connected on his second TD p a s s of t h e day, this time to Alvin Bonds.

Following a n o t h e r Briton score Hope struck back on Blacquiere's second touchdown of t h e game.

J u s t before the end of t h e half q u a r t e r b a c k Mark Boyce r a n the ball over from t w o y a r d s out.

Albion made t h e final tally of the second q u a r t e r on a flee-flicker to t a k e a 26-21 lead into t h e locker room.

HOPE regained t h e lead in the second half when Boyce connected with Todd De Young for a 28 yard T D pass. But t h a t was all for the Dutch as Albion tallied twice in t h e final half to come away with t h e i r second MIAA win.

Hope carries a 2-3 record into tomorrow's contest against Olivet.

Field Hockey moves to 4-3

by Glenn Johnson On S e p t e m b e r 24th H o p e ' s Field Hockey Team traveled to Brooklyn, Michigan and the mud of the Valley F a r m s to play against several other midwestern teams.
