anchor essay

A personal inquiry into the decline of the 0pus Editor's note: This week's anchor essay is written by Opus editor Martha Mulder. She examines the plight of campus publications. T h e s t e t h o s c o p e tells w h a t e v e r y o n e fears: Y o u ' r e likely t o go on living for years With a nurse-maid w a d d l e and a shop-girl simper A n d t h e style of y o u r prose growing limper and l i m p e r - T h e o d o r e Roethke

ONE EXPLANATION f o r this inconsistency is t h e Opus's insufficient budget. O n e e d i t o r has observed that w i t h its present a l l o t m e n t of m o n e y , " t h e Opus c o u l d n ' t b u y toilet p a p e r f o r anyb o d y ' s literary m a g a z i n e . " Actually, t h o u g h , it would be possible to publish f o u r issues yearly, if t h e anchor p r i n t e d the Opus. If four-page s u p p l e m e n t s to the anchor were supplied by the Opus f o u r times a year, the budget would be e x h a u s t e d , but at least spent in a w o r t h w h i l e way. LACK OF MONEY is hardly the sole or m a j o r p r o b l e m . T h e greatest d i f f i c u l t y remains the absence of s t u d e n t s u p p o r t in the f o r m of submissions. This has reached a critical p o i n t : in recent years editors have b e e n / e d u c e d to peddling the Opus and anchor names to a n y o n e w h o has been writing, literally begging f o r submissions and news r e p o r t e r s . I recognize s o m e of the reasons for this situation. First, the creative writing s t u d e n t s on this campus number around ten. Secondly, because these s t u d e n t s are i n f o r m e d most quickly and carefully a b o u t practical possibilities for experience in c a m p u s p u b l i c a t i o n s , they have comprised the staff. Their work has also often monopolized the actual publications.

1 o p e n this essay w i t h a c r u t c h a la R o e t h k e . 1 need it. 1 am merely t h e editor of t h e Opus and hold t h a t position by d e f a u l t . Steve Farrar, the original e d i t o r for the 1971-'72 year, is in New York on a poetic a n d academic quest, a f o r t u n a t e a r r a n g e m e n t for him. But by residence on c a m p u s , I am left holding the ripped bag of the c a m p u s literary m a g a z i n e . MY INTENTION, h o w e v e r , is not to reduce readers to symp a t h y . R a t h e r I hope t o prod you toward recognition of the strained situation in which t h e editors of this c a m p u s ' s journalistic and literary p u b l i c a t i o n s find t h e m selves.

OPUS' EDITOR MARTHA MULDER w o r k , the a u t h o r c a n n o t be guara n t e e d space in the issue. THE A L T E R N A T I V E S to the present f o r m a t of the Opus were discussed at an i n f o r m a l gathering of professors and s t u d e n t s a b o u t t w o weeks ago. O n e guest suggested " j u n k i n g the magazine alt o g e t h e r , and using the budget m o n e y to bring c o n t e m p o r a r y p o e t s and prose writers t o the c a m p u s for readings and l e c t u r e s . "

The consensus, however, was to retain the Opus. T h e reason f o r this a g r e e m e n t lies in the belief that y o u n g writers ought to have a p u b l i c a t i o n in which their work appears, so that it could be read by a larger audience than their i m m e d i a t e friends. IN T H E HOPE of encouraging more submissions, the possibility of awards for c o n t r i b u t i n g writers has been discussed, in addition

SO WHY BOTHER? S o m e viable reasons persist. S t u d e n t s are even n o w w r e n c h i n g o u t a few lines t o " e x p r e s s their feelings." People d o care w h e t h e r or not their o p i n i o n s are heard and h o n ored. T h e r e r e m a i n s a desire f o r b e a u t y and m u s i c in language, and even s o m e c o m p a s s i o n a t e , or if you insist, cruel h o n e s t y . Undergraduates are still trying to solve personal and universal hang-ups in the Kletz. The publications on this c a m p u s are t h e f o r u m f o r these. 1 c a n n o t say t h a t all or any of the above stimuli can insure that y o u r writing will I ) m a k e it, as d e c e n t or lousy m a t e r i a l ; 2) get published; 3) give y o u any metaphysical or real satisfaction. But we may get out of it all a literary magazine which may interest y o u , even if only egotistically.

This right of c o n f i d e n t i a l i t y e x t e n d s also to s t u d e n t s involved in civil suits. In the past a parent or guardian was required by law to act on behalf of minors. Signature of a parent or guardian was also required f o r c o n t r a c t s for nonessential items purchased by minors. C o n t r a c t s made by 18-20 year-olds a f t e r January 1 will be binding. A N O T H E R question raised by the group pertains to the rights to privacy of s t u d e n t s residing in college-owned buildings. T h e prepared list of ques tions s u b m i t t e d to the law firm asks, "What limits of privacy must be respected when staff m e m b e r s enter a stud e n t ' s room or are involved in q u e s t i o n s of search and s e i z u r e ? " D e Y o u n g reported that Hope presently adheres to a policy which requires a s t u d e n t ' s permission b e f o r e a staff m e m b e r can e n t e r his room for any reason. He a d d e d that this course of action would p r o b a b l y not be changed D e Y O U N G expressed c o n c e r n a b o u t the c o n f u s i o n m a n y stud e n t s may face in their personal business. He noted that insurance policies covering minors u n d e r a p a r e n t ' s policy might be voided when these people b e c o m e legal adults. This aspect of the m a j o r i t y law's implications might even apply to those living out of state, DeYoung added. S t u d e n t financial aid o f f e r e d by m a n y states might also be voided f o r the new adults. T h e dean said that even s o m e everyday policies such as restricted key privileges may have to be revised. D e Y O U N G F E E L S that it may take s o m e time b e f o r e the Issues b r o u g h t to light by the bill are resolved. O n e of the p r o b l e m s he cites is t h e difficulty of a d j u s t i n g to the new p h i l o s o p h y the bill espouses. " I ' m afraid the age of m a j o r i t y has not changed the age of m a t u r i t y in the eyes of the p a r e n t s , " he said. T h e dean noted that although the new bill o f f e r s new o p p o r t u n ities for the y o u t h liberated from f o r m e r restrictions, it will also bring new responsibilities. As new " l e g a l " a d u l t s they must assume a role which would have c o m e to t h e m s o m e three years later. He observed that their gradual a s s u m p t i o n of that role and society's recognition of them as responsible adults will play a major role in fulfilling the objectives set f o r t h in the new bill.

San Diego Project? The story on page one of this issue concerning an alleged Federal Bureau of Investigation plot t o disrupt the 1972 Republican Convention and result in the imprisonment of political activists throughout the U.S. may at first appear t o be merely an absurd fabrication. But a critical analysis places it well w i t h i n the bounds of possibility. It is true that several factors seem to nullify the feasibility of such a plan and diminish the likelihood that the government would accept the risks involved. Even if the riot and bombings went according to plan, the atmosphere necessary to justify the declaration of a state of national

emergency would not inevitably develop. Mass arrests of militants w o u l d not be condoned by public opinion in the absence of such an atmosphere. The adverse political consequences of the discovery of FBI perpetration of disturbances at the convention would be enormous. Whether the highest echelons of government were privy to the conspiracy or not, the Nixon administration w o u l d be discredited. Also, it is possible that the government's top executive officials w o u l d object on moral grounds. However, recent developments indicate that the existence of the alleged plot is feasible. In its use of infiltration and wiretapping, and by its desire for "nok n o c k " laws, the FBI has demonstrated its willingness to ignore constitutional rights. There is little reason to believe that the bureau w o u l d be reluctant to use devious methods on the larger scale represented by the "San Diego Project." Other testimony concerning present law enforcement ethics is provided by the widespread police corruption which has recently come to light in New Y o r k City and the reports of Central Intelligence Agency involvement in heroin smuggling (A Ramparts story on the heroin trade was reprinted in the anchor last spring.) In view of the sophistication of present FBI methods, the concealment of a plot such as the San Diego Project w o u l d probably not be d i f f i c u l t . Only a small number of agents w o u l d need to know of

the FBI's involvement, and, since the FBI itself would be in charge of the investigation following the disturbances, the real source of the conspiracy could easily be kept secret. The sum of all these factors points, if not to anything like proof of the existence of the alleged conspiracy, at least to a possibility serious enough t o warrant scrutiny. The fact that such a possibility exists underlines the imperative nature of the public's right to be informed.

New support When anti-war demonstrators assemble in Detroit on Saturday, they will be addressed by representatives of the A F L - C I O and the UAW. In Minneapolis, when antiwar protestors gather Saturday, they will know that they have the endorsement of the mayors and city councils of both Minneapolis and St. Paul, and the support of the local county board of commissioners. According to anti-war organizers in these cities, the demonstrations scheduled for Saturday probably will not be among the biggest in the history of the end-thewar movement. Nonetheless, they will be among the most significant because of the support of organized labor and local government, support that is indicative of a far wider base of end-the-war sentiment than at any previous time. This support is also important because it provides a model for effective anti-war protest. The political clout added to the peace effort by official endorsement from recognized middle-of-the-road organizations is especially significant in light of the frank acknowledgment by many anti-war tacticians that the political intensity that marked the spring of 1970 is impossible to maintain because it disrupts all other activities. Simply stated, people can't make a living demonstrating. But it is apparent that they can make their anti-war convictions known through representatives of organizations of which they are members. What this suggests is that the students and faculty at Hope College should try to win official college endorsement for a strong end-the-war statement, and students and faculty should w o r k to pressure the Holland City Council into taking an anti-war stance.

Parietals and Hope As f o r m e r m e m b e r s of the Hope College c o m m u n i t y , we n o t e d with great interest the results of a p u r p o r t e d l y c o m p r e h e n s i v e survey of s t u d e n t s ' a t t i t u d e s t o w a r d s parietal h o u r s published in the Sept. 27 anchor. T h e survey p r o m p t e d t w o basic q u e s t i o n s : Can m a t u r i t y and responsibility in any area be legislated? Will the H o p e College s t u d e n t only b e c o m e " m a t u r e and r e s p o n s i b l e " when the a d m i n i s t r a t i o n d e e m s him so? T h e survey's results u n d e r s c o r e the moral hiatus implicit in the urge of any a d m i n i s t r a t i o n to regulate o r retard the personal g r o w t h of s t u d e n t s . While a d m i n istrators (and s o m e s t u d e n t s ) may argue that the s t u d e n t m u s t c o n f o r m to certain social s t a n d a r d s set for the c o m m u n i t y .

w m m m tney overlook the fact that the s t u d e n t is not s u b o r d i n a t e but p r i m a r y , and that the standards exist to suit his needs and demands. T h e s t a n d a r d s must not impinge u p o n the s t u d e n t ' s privilege to c o n d u c t his everyday life as he wishes. It is, however, characteristic of H o p e College that such a f u n d a m e n t a l personal privilege as the c o n d u c t of o n e ' s own daily Mfe is not a private m a t t e r , but a public and administrative issue, subject t o such unnaural regulatory devices as parietal h o u r s . The issue of the guest policy is strictly a personal one. There is no need to artificialze the Hope College world by d e n y i n g that many m o d e s of private social c o n d u c t are a n y t h i n g but a m a t t e r of personal taste. Rules at Hope are i n t e n d e d to regulate and c r e a t e a certain polish, a certain social l o s s - f o c u s e d more on the e x t e r n a l t h a n ihe internal, more on a rigid profile t h a n .pontaneity and individual impulse. T h e ' r u t h is this: the a d m i n i s t r a t i o n has e n c o u raged the gloss of profile, rather than the substance of personal c o u r a g e - the kind of :ourage that exists in men w h o feel that

o t h e r s as well as themselves have the ability to handle their daily lives in a m a t u r e and responsible fashion. T h e artificiality of the Hope College society has p r o d u c e d its f r e a k s : a s t u d e n t w h o feels that a system of rules and regulations c o n c e r n i n g the private lives of all, p r o t e c t s their singular interests and need for s e c u r i t y ; a s t u d e n t who asserts that a n y o n e w h o c o m e s t o Hope College thereby is s u b j e c t e d to its every decree regarding every issue, no m a t t e r h o w personal that issue may be; the type of a l u m n u s w h o is p r o u d of H o p e College not necessarily f o r the creativity or strength of its s t u d e n t s but f o r their c o n f o r m i t y in clinging to the warm b o s o m of Mother H o p e ; and, finally, this artificiality has created the freak of social change, while the College's c o n c e p t of the individual and his degree of m a t u r i t y r e m a i n s u n c h a n g e d . It is our c o n t e n t i o n that s t u d e n t s must prove that they are genuinely c o n c e r n e d a b o u t the policies which rule their daily lives and d e s t r o y their privacy. If s t u d e n t s c o n d o n e (even by i n a c t i o n ! ) the retardation of their natural selves, of s p o n t a n e i t y ; then they deserve and will get n o t h i n g n o t h i n g e x c e p t "Parietal A t t i t u d e s Surveyed."

Female supremacy? by Art Buchwald C o p y r i g h t ÂŠ 1 9 7 1 , Los Angeles T i m e s S y n d i c a t e

It c a m e as n o surprise to most men here that President Nixon could n o t find a qualified w o m a n t o n o m i n a t e t o the Supreme C o u r t . " H e a v e n k n o w s we t r i e d , " an Administration s p o k e s m a n said, " a n d the pressure on t h e President was e n o r m o u s . First Mrs. Nixon talked t o him a b o u t it, t h e n Martha Mitchell and finally Bella Abzug. But it just wasn't in the c a r d s . " " W h y ? " 1 asked. "WELL, WE INVESTIGATED it and discovered w o m e n just w e r e n ' t cut out to be S u p r e m e C o u r t justices. For o n e thing it takes a lot of physical e n d u r a n c e to sit on the c o u r t , hearing cases all day long, and our medical p e o p l e told us w o m e n c o u l d n ' t take t h e pressure. They have a t e n d e n c y t o fidget w h e n t h e y have to stay in one place too l o n g . " "1 h a d n ' t t h o u g h t of t h a t but it's t r u e , " I admitted. " A l s o we d e c i d e d the S u p r e m e C o u r t is a m a n ' s world. When the S u p r e m e C o u r t justices get t o g e t h e r in private session to discuss cases, t h e y like t o tell l o c k e r - r o o m j o k e s and cuss a lot. A w o m a n w o u l d n ' t be c o m f o r t a b l e in such an a t m o s p h e r e and it would inhibit the male justices in their work." " I t f i g u r e s , " I agreed. " A N O T H E R MAJOR c o n s i d e r a t i o n was the q u e s t i o n of p r o t o c o l . We had to think what e f f e c t a w o m a n justice w o u l d have on d i n n e r parties in Washington f o r the next 15 or 2 0 years. A S u p r e m e C o u r t justice o u t r a n k s m o s t people in the g o v e r n m e n t , including C a b i n e t officers, and it just w o u l d n ' t look right for a w o m a n justice to be seated on the right of her hostess. P u t t i n g t w o w o m e n next to each o t h e r at a Washington d i n n e r party is u n t h i n k a b l e and c o u l d cause grave c o n s e q u e n c e s in the social world f o r years to c o m e . I think Mr. Nixon said it b e s t : 'Presidents may c o m e and go but d i n n e r parties in Washington go on f o r e v e r . ' " " W h a t o t h e r o b j e c t i o n s did y o u f i n d ? " I w a n t e d to k n o w .

" A s you k n o w , t h e President said in his television speech the one criterion he used in his selection was that a m e m b e r of the S u p r e m e C o u r t should be the very best lawyer in the nation. He said, i n the legal profession, t h e S u p r e m e C o u r t is the fastest track in the n a t i o n , and it is essential that the justices on that cour t be able to k e e p u p with the very able lawyers w h o will appear b e f o r e the c o u r t arguing the cases.' "NOW THE PRESIDENT w a s n ' t just using a sports m e t a p h o r . What we did was lay out a one-mile track a r o u n d t h e Sup r e m e C o u r t and we clocked several w o m e n n o m i n e e s in races against male lawyers. We discovered that t h o s e w o m e n w h o agreed with the President's p h i l o s o p h y c o u l d n ' t keep u p the pace, and t h o s e w h o were fast e n o u g h t o get a r o u n d d i d n ' t have e n o u g h blue-blooded s t r i c t - c o n s t r u c t i o n i s t breeding." " N o one can say the President d i d n ' t give w o m e n a fair t e s t , " I said. A n o t h e r f a c t o r t h a t militated against a w o m a n being a p p o i n t e d to the c o u r t was the fear that there w o u l d be mass resignations a m o n g the S u p r e m e C o u r t guards, w h o had been used to dealing with men justices all their lives. "YOU CAN FIND ANY n u m b e r of qualified S u p r e m e C o u r t justices, b u t it takes years to train a good S u p r e m e C o u r t guard. " B u t there were o t h e r things we had to w o r r y aout as well. What kind of p r e c e d e n t would we be s e t t i n g by a p p o i n t i n g a w o m a n to the S u p r e m e C o u r t ? S u p p o s e the next thing w o m e n would ask for was a seat on the Joint Chiefs of S t a f f , or an o p p o r t u n i t y to c o n d u c t S u n d a y c h u r c h services at the White House? Where w o u l d it s t o p ? " "GOD ONLY KNOWS," I said. " W h y d i d n ' t the President m a k e this p e r f e c t l y clear?" " A s soon as he explains it t o Mrs. N i x o n , Martha Mitchell and Bella Abzug, he p r o b a b l y will."

anchor review

'A Little Season : a well integrated experience E d i t o r ' s n o t e : T h i s w e e k ' s anchor review is w r i t t e n by editorial assistant Gerald Swieringa. He reviews the play, A Little Season, p e r f o r m e d this week Wed. through Sat. in the DeWitt Cultural C e n t e r ' s s t u d i o t h e a t r e at 8 p.m. T h e a t r e at H o p e College has come of age. With the p r o d u c t i o n of A Little Season, w r i t t e n by play wright-in-residence Fred Gaines and p e r f o r m e d in the DeWitt Cultural C e n t e r ' s experimental theatre-in-the-round, a new height has been achieved in the f o r m of a well-integrated dramatic e x p e r i e n c e . T H E PLAY IS a welding of style, music, tragedy, c o m e d y , t e c h n i q u e and m o v e m e n t i n t o a c o n f i g u r a t i o n that at once mimics and describes the n e b u l o u s interplay of p e o p l e with p e o p l e . T h e r e is no c e n t e r , n o Hell or Heaven, but r a t h e r the pitch and f r o t h of this c h a r a c t e r ' s infernal d e s c e n t , of t h a t c h a r a c t e r ' s paradisic aspiration. N o t h i n g is gained but e x p e r i e n c e , n o t h i n g is lost but time. A Little Season fixes a t r o u p e of a c t o r s in their s t a t e of u n b e l i e f , in t h e i r place- of make-believe, in their t i m e of never. It is a last day of the s u m m e r season, the season of travels f r o m t o w n to village, the season of p i c k e d - u p love af-

fairs and ephemeral t e m p e r s , the little season. But it is the little season at its end, a t i m e of partings. T H E O L D B E L L Y d a n c e r Hildegaard, played by Michelle Bailie, must break with her y o u n g , m u s c u l a r c o m p a n i o n for the summer, Isaac. C o m o , an old c l o w n , is tired of the lies of b o t h his profession and his life. He has w e a t h e r e d an old love of Hildegaard, has w a t c h e d her, as he has w a t c h e d himself, growing old. He has seen Selah grow f r o m c h i l d h o o d t o b e a u t y and n o w must watch her learn the lessons which he never had the time to teach her. A N D I S A A C lured f r o m the city by the music of Hildegaard, n o w hears the y o u n g e r voice of Selah. T h e n there is P e n n y , a ballad singer played by R u d y H o w a r d . P e n n y is the eye of t h e t r o u p e ; he sees t h e intrigues; he guesses the causes and m a k e s sure that someone at all times k e e p s the finger pointed. P I T C H , A MUTE played by J a m e s Stills, wears the idiot smile across his u n o p e n e d lips. But his ears and eyes are o p e n , and as he juggles he mimics the s o u n d s and sights of the deadly games he perceives a r o u n d him. T h e balls he tosses in the air b e c o m e the lies which his senses record.

peeopd peview E d i t o r ' s n o t e : This w e e k ' s WTAS record review is w r i t t e n by freshman Bill De Block. He reviews Welcome to the Canteen by T r a f f i c and Friends on United Artists records. A live p e r f o r m a n c e is usually the test of true musicianship by a group. T h e special ability to perform in f r o n t of a large a u d i e n c e sets a successful g r o u p apart f r o m an " a l s o - r a n . " T R A F F I C IS n o e x c e p t i o n and in their new a l b u m . Welcome To The Canteen, the fact of good rock m u s i c being p e r f o r m e d live is evident. T h e a l b u m was r e c o r d e d in E n g l a n d at the Fairfield Hall and Oz Benefit C o n c e r t s in J u l y . T h e p r o g r a m of music on the album is set up like a m e n u with t w o f u l l courses of music, spiced with a little applause. T h e songs are of t h e older T r a f f i c and S p e n c e r Davis G r o u p variety but c o m e on strongly in the new and electrified s u r r o u n d i n g s of a live concert. ON T H E F I R S T side, the m o s t impressive song is " 4 0 , 0 0 0 Headm e n . " This song has been perf o r m e d by m a n y d i f f e r e n t artists, and T r a f f i c has r e c o r d e d it b e f o r e , but t h e s p o o k y conga d r u m r h y t h m s and lead guitar work make it s t a n d o u t . O t h e r songs included on the first side are " M e d i c a t e d G o o , " with its rousing r h y t h m s ; " S a d and D e e p As You A r e , " a Dave Mason composition; and " S h o u l d n ' t Have T o o k More T h a n You G a v e , " with Winwood at the organ and s u p e r b backing guitar f r o m Dave Mason. S I D E TWO is the s h o w s t o p p e r with a ten m i n u t e version of " D e a r Mr. F a n t a s y " and an eight m i n u t o p u s of the S p e n c e r Davis hit " G i m m e S o m e L o v i n . " " D e a r Mr. F a n t a s y " seems to bring back m e m o r i e s of the earlier T r a f f i c

a l b u m s with Steve Winwood on vocals and guitar, Jim Capaldi on d r u m s and Chris Wood at the organ. All three t u r n in such s u p e r b p e r f o r m a n c e s d u r i n g the " j a m " that one wishes it would not e n d . W i n w o o d , an original m e m b e r of t h e Spencer Davis G r o u p , brings " G i m m e S o m e L o v i n " out of " o l d i e " storage and along with his F r i e n d s he b r e a t h e s new life i n t o t h e British rock classic. T h e song c o n c l u d e s the b e t t e r of the t w o sides and closes the album on a well-deserved high n o t e . A L L A L O N G I've been m e n tioning Traffic and Friends. People who also contribute strongly t h r o u g h o u t the a l b u m are R e e b o p Kawaku Baah on b o n g o s , t i m b a l e s and congas; Jim G o r d o n on the other percussion equipm e n t ; Dave Mason, helping with the vocals and playing guitar; and Rick Grech, a fine a d d i t i o n on bass. When word first leaked out that T r a f f i c was p u t t i n g t o g e t h e r a new a l b u m , most p e o p l e e x p e c t e d one with new material, m a y b e s o m e new p e r s o n n e l , and m a y b e even a new s o u n d ; but to everyo n e ' s surprise, the g r o u p cut a new a l b u m with m o s t l y t h e same faces and a b o u n d i n g with old music. T H E G R E A T p e r f o r m a n c e s on the a l b u m help to s o f t e n the l e t d o w n , but since the release of John Barleycorn Must Die, in early 1969, n o t h i n g new has appeared t o stir up interest. With all that talent, one would expect m o r e music than just a n o t h e r well-done " o l d i e s " a l b u m . T r a f f i c is musically a strong g r o u p , but it s h o u l d n ' t rest on its laurels. T h e public d e m a n d s m o r e f r o m the talents of Winwood and c o m p a n y . T h e music g o u r m e t s of the world hungrily wait for a new T r a f f i c meal instead of left-overs.

Finally, O b a d i a h . Tim Walter's c a t a t o n i c p r o p h e t is p e r h a p s the most confusing character in G a i n e s ' c o n f u s i n g script. Who is this sage w h o rails at d r u n k e n e s s and frivolity, w h o is escorted to â&#x20AC;˘his n e p h a r i o u s h o m e by the enticing arms of the Harpies, w h o l o o m s as a b r o k e n s h a d o w across the last day of the little season? T h e r e are no clues for h i m , o t h e r than that s o m e t h i n g of his depravity is evident in every c h a r a c t e r on the stage, indeed, in every character in the t h e a t r e . T H E R E A R E TWO p l a t f o r m s at o p p o s i t e c o r n e r s of t h e t h e a t r e . Perched u p o n and clustered a b o u t each are a collection of persona k n o w n as the Harpies. In one sense, t h e y are the c h o r u s , c o m m e n t i n g on the action they see, p r e d i c t i n g falls and s e d u c t i o n s . But their role is larger than this, t h e y b e c o m e integrally involved in the play itself, dancing with the characters, enticing old O b a d i a h into their fold, resurrecting lost ideals in the mind of C o m o . Gaines calls t h e m Harpies, but t h e y could just as well be called the fates, or conscience, or even G o d . T h e y are not to be unders t o o d , they are to be felt, they are t o be feared. T h r o u g h o u t the play G a i n e s ' lyrics and the music of Charles B u f f h a m c o n t r i b u t e t o an aura of u n m i s t a k a b l e tension, but it is a kinetic tension, easily and timely s h a t t e r e d only t o be reinstated at a m o r e personal and intense level. Michelle Bailie's a s t o u n d i n g voice

mixed with the b e a u t i f u l lyricism of " I s there a n y w h e r e here a y o u n g girl," m o l t s i n t o the m u n dane r e m e m b r a n c e of her fall into p r o s t i t u t i o n . D o u g N e u m a n n sings C o m o ' s frivolous " W a c h a , wacha, w a c h a , " only t o end in t h e piercing h o w l of O b a d i a h ' s m a d invective. N o t h i n g is allowed to bec o m e certain, s t a g n a n t . Every thing changes, e v e r y t h i n g is alive. THE OVERALL performance attains a degree of professionalism never b e f o r e equalled in the prod u c t i o n s of the Hope College the-

atre d e p a r t m e n t . O u t s t a n d i n g dramatic p e r f o r m a n c e s are u n f o l d e d by Paul Bach as Isaac and Lynda Boven as Selah. Vocally, Michelle Bailie and Vicki Weidman as Griet, one of the Harpies, are simply amazing. T h e y b o t h demo n s t r a t e a range and c o n t r o l that the most p o w e r f u l superlative would be limp to describe. A Little Season is a great play. Its p e r f o r m a n c e in the DeWitt center is a great p e r f o r m a n c e . It is, in short, the finest p r o d u c t i o n yet b r o u g h t to the c a m p u s of Hope College.

Jackson: an open letter by Bob Blanton When the a n n o u n c e m e n t was m a d e this s u m m e r of y o u r app o i n t m e n t as Dir ector of S t u d e n t Activities, I was q u i t e pleased. Auspicious m o m e n t s are rare at H o p e College. MANY P E O P L E , myself inc l u d e d , were looking f o r w a r d t o y o u r arrival this year. 1 am sure y o u were a n x i o u s to assume the responsibilities of y o u r new position. It also a p p e a r e d , at least in the beginning, that y o u were generally well received. However, the events that have c o m p e l l e d me to write this o p e n letter d o not in the least indicate "all is well," particularly with y o u r job. What I mean is that along with y o u r responsibilities has c o m e a lot of unnecessary grief f r o m fellow a d m i n i s t r a t o r s . IN D I S C U S S I O N S with certain reliable people I have f o u n d out that the interaction b e t w e e n y o u and o t h e r a d m i n i s t r a t o r s is something less than it should be. It is my c o n t e n t i o n that this is in n o way y o u r fault but reflects the a m b i g u o u s s i t u a t i o n in which y o u find yourself, and the role to which these o t h e r a d m i n i s t r a t o r s e x p e c t you to c o n f o r m . I find y o u r s i t u a t i o n similar to that of Rev. Samuel Williams, assistant chaplain, w h o left a f t e r a brief stay. People c u s t o m a r i l y d o not leave j o b s in which they are satisfied. It is m y belief that Rev. Williams was not satisfied and left because of his dissatisfaction. He

was also useless, and his uselessness had n o t h i n g t o d o with him as a person because he did have t h e capabilities t h a t his j o b required. HIS U S E L E S S N E S S had to d o with t h e a m b i g u o u s s i t u a t i o n in which he was placed, that of k o w t o w i n g to the wishes of t h e coterie of a d m i n i s t r a t o r s . He did not feel fulfilled professionally or more i m p o r t a n t l y as a p e r s o n , andt h e r e f o r e he did what a n y normal man would d o - h e left. By all indications y o u are fated for this same kind of e x i s t e n c e . I have h e a r d that on t h e administrative level y o u have b e e n almost totally ignored. O t h e r administrators rarely a p p r o a c h y o u and when t h e y d o it is only to m a k e a r r a n g e m e n t s f o r a r o o m in the DeWitt Cultural C e n t e r . O n e person said, "They (administ r a t o r s ) have relegated h i m (Jackson) t o a m e r e c u s t o d i a l posit i o n " - m e a n i n g taking care of the cultural center. IT A P P E A R S that you are being treated as a f u n c t i o n a r y and not as a m a n . T h e r e is little c o n c e r n on t h e a d m i n i s t r a t i v e level f o r what y o u w a n t t o do or what pr ogr ams y o u w o u d like t o i m p l e m e n t . T h e y have d e m o n strated a general lack of c o n c e r n which seems to indicate that t h e y are m o r e interested in w h a t y o u represent than w h a t y o u would like t o d o as Dir ector of S t u d e n t Activities.

1 am not at all surprised by the t r e a t m e n t y o u ' v e b e e n receiving. T h e r e ' s b e e n n o change in administrators since Williams left and you c a m e . In that sense y o u r t r e a t m e n t ( m i s t r e a t m e n t ) at the h a n d s of these prevaricators is pr edictable. ADMINISTRATORS who manipulate-in the case of Williams quite successfullydeserve n o t h i n g but c o n t e m p t . And finally t h e r e ' s the question of race. I had n o i n t e n t i o n of i n t e r j e c t i n g this at all, because it is implicit. However, s o m e o n e told me that d u r i n g t h e dedication c e r e m o n y of the DCC s o m e o n e a p p r o a c h e d y o u and asked if you were the usher. Such an incident speaks f o r itself. Racism, w h e t h e r it be at H o p e College, or anyplace else in this c o u n t r y , is alive and well. T H I S L E T T E R can be easily ignored on t h e basis that it is mere c o n j e c t u r e . I d o u b t t h a t it is. T h e t r u t h or falsity of this letter can be a t t e s t e d to only by y o u and not by those w h o read it. It is very likely t h a t y o u will be asked, by the a d m i n i s t r a t o r s in q u e s t i o n , w h e t h e r w h a t I've said is true. T h e y will w a n t t o be assured that w h a t I said is not true. So again you will discover, as Williams did, that along with all the o t h e r b u r d e n s o m e d u t i e s of y o u r j o b , a n o t h e r will be telling your "fellow" administrators what they w a n t to hear.

A d o c u m e n t a r y segment of N a t i o n a l E d u c a t i o n a l Television's " T h e G r e a t A m e r i c a n Dream Ma-

If the m a j o r i t y of t h e allegations are true, it w o u l d indicate that t h e g o v e r n m e n t is itself resp o n s i b l e for m a n y of t h e incidents that result in legal charges against radical o r g a n i z a t i o n s .

Opus T h e Opus is n o w a c c e p t i n g s u b m i s s i o n s for t h e first semester literary s u p p l e m e n t to the anchor. T h e d e a d l i n e f o r all s u b m i s s i o n s is Nov. 12.

WE H A V E , for e x a m p l e , settled for t h e i d e n t i t y of being c o m m i t t e d t o peace, and this has d e g e n e r a t e d t o the c o m m i t m e n t against war. T h e g e n u i n e n e s s of o u r c o m m i t m e n t b e c a m e meas u r e d by the vividness of the p h r a s e s on o u r p o s t e r s , or t h e n u m b e r of miles we traveled t o a p e a c e rally, or the degree of opp o s i t i o n we elicit f r o m the " e n e -

m y . " But all of this c a m o u f l a g e s w h a t is at h e a r t o u r willingness t o settle for labels, in this case, for our label, that establishes our identity. But t h e n Drew H i n d e r e r said this in the anchor s o m e t w o years ago, and m a y b e it really only applies to t h e us of t w o years ago. O u r tone h a s c h a n g e d since t h e n ; last year was " t h e year of t h e Great N o t h i n g n e s s . " O u r p e a c e rally i d e n t i t y d i e d ; it c o u l d n o t sustain itself. But it was a sick i d e n t i t y t h a t died; it was a h o l l o w i d e n t i t y built on a label. We s h o u l d w e l c o m e its d e a t h . We should also learn f r o m it. WE S H O U L D learn, at least, t o be clear and lucid in discovering and a r t i c u l a t i n g not merely that we are c o m m i t t e d , b u t w h a t we are c o m m i t t e d to, and why we are c o m m i t t e d . We s h o u l d learn t h a t we need t o use o u r h e a d s t o uncover and face t h e real issues t h a t must be settled in o r d e r f o r any c o m m i t m e n t t o have p o w e r and d e p t h . But this itself is a c o m m i t m e n t . If 1 am right, it is a c o m m i t m e n t we have failed t o m a k e in the past. And p e r h a p s we need t o reflect on w h y we have failed t o m a k e it. P E R H A P S IT was just laziness, or p e r h a p s it was the lack of g l a m o u r in the task. P e r h a p s it was our feeling t h a t c l a r i f i c a t i o n never gets things d o n e t h e w a y action d o e s . P e r h a p s it was t h e urgency of what c o n f r o n t e d us; we seemed t o have n o time. B u t , I t h i n k , the r o o t of it goes m u c h d e e p e r t h a n any of these. I suggested three m a j o r s o r t s of issues t h a t , at least i m p l i c i t l y , compose a c o m m i t m e n t to peace. O n e is h o w we are t o u n d e r s t a n d

the n a t u r e of the f a c t u a l , actual c o n f l i c t s that p r o d u c e war. Seco n d , t h e r e is the q u e s t i o n of what moral c o m m i t m e n t s we bring t o these c o n f l i c t s w h i c h e n a b l e us to judge the war-response as "wrong." F I N A L L Y , there is the question of w h a t positive alternatives are o p e n to us, besides war, as a response to these c o n f l i c t s . O u r sickness, o u r failure t o use o u r heads, m a y well be r o o t e d in o u r half-conscious attitude toward these latter t w o sorts of issues. What, a f t e r all, is t h e d o m i n a n t a t t i t u d e of o u r day t o w a r d these sorts of q u e s t i o n s ? Is it not t h a t moral c o m m i t m e n t s u l t i m a t e l y have no kind of o b j e c t i v e validity? Is it n o t that t h e y are finally either relative, s u b j e c t i v e and arbitrary decisions of t h e individual, or else t h e p r o d u c t of a c u l t u r e of d u b i o u s value? A N D IS N O T o u r search for positive alternatives necessarily r o o t e d in h o p e , and d o e s not h o p e imply t h a t c e r t a i n possibilities are worth achieving? But w h a t do we have that g r o u n d s the " w o r t h " of any possibility? Isn't t h e sense of " w o r t h " as a r b i t r a r y as a moral c o m m i t m e n t in t h e final analysis? If this is o u r d o m i n a n t a t t i t u d e in these last d a y s of the 2 0 t h century, then the c o m m i t m e n t to use o u r h e a d s is a p o i n t l e s s c o m m i t m e n t . All we can e x p e c t t o gain f r o m it is a clearer vision of our ultimately absurd situation. And w h y b o t h e r t o be clear a b o u t that? T H E R O O T O F o u r sickness is a d e e p r o o t , and a s t u b b o r n o n e . We are going to have t o dig d e e p e r y e t , to see just h o w d e e p it is, and t o see w h a t m a k e s it so s t u b b o r n . Can you dig it?

T h e U n i t e d N a t i o n s ' vote t o a d m i t Red China and oust T a i w a n is s y m b o l i c of increasing a n t i - A m e r i c a n (i.e. anti-imperialist) s e n t i m e n t a m o n g the n a t i o n s of the world. BUT BOTH THOSE of us w h o supp o r t e d t h e Albanian R e s o l u t i o n and t h o s e w h o o p p o s e d it in favor of e x c l u d i n g Peking r e p r e s e n t a t i o n should be r e m i n d e d that its passage was just t h a t , a s y m b o l i c act. T h o s e recalcitrants w h o wished f o r a two-China s o l u t i o n , t h o u g h this kind of t h i n k i n g is d i f f i c u l t to c o m p r e h e n d in light of C h i n a ' s h i s t o r y , should also be r e m i n d ed. T h e UN is to Red China as the civil rights c o m m i s s i o n is to the people of color in t h e United States. T h e analogy is not p e r f e c t , but n e i t h e r is any analogy. T h e p o p u l a r nonsensical n o t i o n still prevails that r e p r e s e n t a t i o n in the UN is m o r e than just a s y m b o l of prestige b e h i n d a facade of s e n o u s i n t e r n a t i o n a l c o n f r o n t a t i o n on matters of war and peace. IT WOULD BE ALMOST s h a m e f u l to repeat, were it not for the grave importance ascribed to the decision by b o t h sides, that the UN has n o p o w e r and is of n o c o n s e q u e n c e i n t e r n a t i o n a l l y . No representative f r o m any c o u n t r y in the UN is going t o willingly s u b m i t to a UN " l a w " or change his c o u n t r y ' s policies because of a convincing a r g u m e n t f r o m the " o t h e r s i d e . " T h e UN is a f o r u m for p r o p a g a n d a and each representative is u n d e r o r d e r to produce propaganda. If the policies of a nation c h a n g e , we would be fairly safe in guessing that this is because of s o m e h a p p e n i n g outside the halls of the UN.

Composite major offers students new alternative continued from page 1 Jentz indicated that "two things w o u l d help a great deal in the advising of new s t u d e n t s : if the advisors were supplied with catalogs and if the advisors knew they were advisors and w h o their advisees w e r e . " 1 AFTER B O A R D discussion of the possibility of a three to five day f a c u l t y w o r k s h o p on advising and the possibility of a v o l u n t a r y advising s y s t e m . Brink suggested the p u b l i c a t i o n of a " f a c u l t y advising b o o k l e t . " "Advising d o e s n ' t require training, it requires conv i n c i n g , " he said. "We must convince the f a c u l t y m e m b e r that this is an i m p o r t a n t part of his j o b . "

" I N T E R N A T I O N A L public o p i n i o n " is n o t h i n g in itself. T h e role of the representative a n d , i n d e e d , r e p r e s e n t a t i o n itself is s u p e r f l u o u s . It is, in a w o r d , s y m b o l i c . R e p r e s e n t a t i v e s are t o k e n s , m u c h as the m a n y blacks w h o sit on the n u m e r o u s civil rights o r g a n i z a t i o n s set u p by the U.S. g o v e r n m e n t are t o k e n s . N o w one might argue t h a t even something as insignificant as prestige o r the loss of prestige is a serious m a t t e r in international affairs, d o u b l y so for c o u n t r i e s like Red China and T a i w a n w h o o w n d e f i n i t e meglomanical t r a d i t i o n s . T o this we should reply t h a t , in the case of Red C h i n a , she has t u r n e d her Middle K i n g d o m illusion of grandeur into a strong economic-military reality by n o w . IT SEEMS A P P A R E N T that even if Red China were denied a d m i t t a n c e i n t o the U N , that denial would not have s t o p p e d her and o t h e r c o u n t r i e s f r o m e n t e r i n g i n t o peace and trade a g r e e m e n t s . Before the UN decision this very thing was occurring at an a m a z i n g rate (e.g. C a n a d a , just to n a m e one which has e n t e r e d into talks with Red China, one which is a m e m b e r of N A T O n o less!). Insofar as T a i w a n is c o n c e r n e d , the exclusion of that a n a c h r o n i s t i c p s u e d o g o v e r n m e n t f r o m the UN has only caused that glorified, fascist pig warlord Chiang Kai-shek to repeat illusory s t a t e m e n t s a b o u t s o m e d a y rescuing China f r o m the communists. WILL T H E U.S. P U L L O U T its military bases f r o m Nationalist China or suspend e c o n o m i c s u p p o r t because most of the world is not paying her little boy any a t t e n t i o n ? Or does the m o t h e r not pull her a b a n d o n e d , h u m i l i a t e d b a b y closer to her breasts and say, in this case, " I ' m s o r r y . " F x c e p t in this strange s i t u a t i o n , called imperialism, Ihe m o t h e r never e x h a u s t s her s u p p l y ol milk but is actually revitalized each time she gives!) So, Chiang lakes political suck at the e x p e n s e of " h i s " people w h o are e x p l o i t e d as cheap labor. T h e same old s t o r y , n o t h i n g is changed. T h e UN action was s y m b o l i c , and like all UN actions, of no practical conseq u e n c e . But was it " a n t i - A m e r i c a n " as I have said? Yes. F r o m Ihe s t a n d p o i n t of those c o u n t r i e s w h o voted f o r the resolution, it was an act of r e s e n t m e n t against the U.S. But w h o would h o n e s t l y suggest that the U.S. ever t o o k its own two-China policy seriously? Who would suggest that the U.S. did not long ago recognize that the sinologists were correct w h e n m o s t of t h e m called such a solution impossible, that Ihe U.S. g o v e r n m e n t did not realistically and secretly e x p e c t the inclusion of Red China and the o u s t i n g of F o r m o s a ? NOT ONLY WAS THE U.S. two-China policy a gesture, a kind of moral-political f r o n t . Not only did the U.S. secretly e x p e c t C h i n a ' s admission and t h e e x p u l s i o n of T a i w a n , but the U.S. w a n t e d and approves w h o l e - h e a r t e d l y the decision.

A c c o r d i n g t o w h a t I have said b e f o r e , h o w e v e r , t h e fact t h a t the Nixon administ r a t i o n w a n t e d t h e admission of Red China i n t o t h e UN has n o practical c o n s e q u e n c e e i t h e r t o w a r d o r away f r o m the achievem e n t of peace. In t h e same way, the Nixon a d m i n i s t r a t i o n plans t o use b o t h of these s y m b o l i c acts, t h e s e facades, as an excuse t o c o n t i n u e the V i e t n a m war. T h e y plan to use this act, in f a c t , t o escalate it. S a m e old s t o r y , n o t h i n g is c h a n g e d . EXAMINE THE FOLLOWING seeming c o n t r a d i c t i o n s in U.S. foreign policy. N i x o n ' s visit to Peking c o u p l e d with U.S. approval of Red C h i n a ' s a d m i t t a n c e versus N i x o n ' s escalation of the war as d r a m a t i z e d by the increasing i m p o r t a t i o n of U.S. and Japanese industry into Vietnam. Japanese r e s e n t m e n t t o w a r d Red China and Japanese r e s e n t m e n t t o w a r d N i x o n ' s 10 percent i m p o r t tax versus t h e J a p a n e s e e m p e r o r ' s

visit to Ihe U.S. and the increasing Japanese role in s o u t h e a s t Asia resulting f r o m help given by U.S. imperialism. T h e Nixon wage-price freeze is not aimed t o s t o p i n f l a t i o n . This is only incidental to its real goal of beginning a n a t i o n - w i d e mobilization m o b i l i z a t i o n for an increased war e f f o r t which will, by the way, include m o r e and more Japanese military and i n d u s t r y . South V i e t n a m is the m o s t rapidly growing industrial (and military) power in Asia due to its agricultural assets, oil assets and a b u n d a n c e of c h e a p labor. THE US HAS CONSOLIDATED the land (like the F r e n c h ) and put it i n t o the h a n d s of V i e t n a m e s e directly responsible to the U.S. for these large land holdings. This f a c t , c o m b i n e d with the i n t r o d u c t i o n of t e c h n o l o g y i n t o S o u t h V i e t n a m e s e agric u l t u r e , has driven large n u m b e r s of peasants i n t o t h e cities, supplying a vast labor f o r c e f o r U.S. and J a p a n e s e i n d u s t r y . T h u s the N i x o n a d m i n i s t r a t i o n has no plans f o r getting o u t of V i e t n a m . This w o u l d be political suicide for N i x o n , w h o

d e p e n d s on U.S. i n d u s t r y to remain in office. THE PEOPLE OF THE U.S. h o p e that the recent moves by Nixon t o w a r d diplom a t i c relations with Red China represent his a d m i n i s t r a t i o n ' s a t t e m p t t o achieve peace. This is exactly w h a t t h e administration w a n t s ! T h e U.S.' real i n t e n t i o n is t o escalate the war, b l a m i n g the Red Chinese f o r n o t taking d i p l o m a t i c talks aimed at peace seriously. However, the reverse is true. T h e Nixon a d m i n i s t r a t i o n does not want peace. It will never accept t h e Ten Point Proposal, which is the only way the war will end. T h e U.S. k n o w s that Red China as the representative of Hanoi will accept n o t h i n g less t h a n this. T h e same old story, n o t h i n g ' s changed. THE JAPANESE WANT t o run S o u t h east Asia. U.S. imperialism provides this o p p o r t u n i t y and recent c o m p l a i n t s against U.S. e c o n o m i c and foreign policy by Japan are a f r o n t . On the o t h e r h a n d , Ihe U.S. does not i n t e n d to allow the J a p a n e s e t o take c o n t r o l , but c o n t i n u e s to give Japan that impression. T h e U.S., on the c o n t r a r y , is using J a p a n . Already we see this in the increase on the part of American i n d u s t r y in b u y i n g u p J a p a n e s e industry. D o not think that the U.S. is turning over Southeast Asia to J a p a n as France did t o the U.S. T o o m u c h profit is at stake here for that to be believable. NIXON WILL BE re-elected next fall because he has convinced the American people lhat he is getting us out of Ihe war. A f t e r his election the war will be escalated with the excuse of Chinese n o n - c o o p e r a tion. Many m e m b e r s of Ihe left w h o say that Nixon is winding d o w n the war in o r d e r t o be re-elected only have the h a l f - t r u t h , and are t h e r e f o r e prepared to believe that Ihe war is c o m i n g to an e n d , even as N i x o n ' s m o t i v a t i o n s are q u e s t i o n a b l e . But c o n t r a d i c t i o n s in U.S. policy point to an escalation of Ihe war. T h e tables must be t u r n e d with even m o r e violence. We must not be placated, but see through the t r a n s p a r e n t a c t i o n s and r h e t o r i c of the volatile Nixon regime.
