R.C.A. Fourth in Average Donations per Member According to a study released by the National Council of Churches, the Reformed Church in America ranks fourth a m o n g 44 of the largest Protestant denominations in per capita giving during 1965.

The mythical " a v e r a g e " American Protestant contributed $77.75 to his church last year, while the average m e m b e r of the Reformed Church in America donated $131.57. With a membership of over 232,000. this g a v e the Reformed churches a working capital of approximately $30.5 million dollars.

In the 1966-1967 a c a d e m i c year, Hope College anticipates receiving approximately $160,000 from the Board of Christian Education of the R.C.A. and from individual churches. This represents about five per cent of the total projected operating cost of the college, estimated to be $3.3 million.

This figure of five per cent represents a continuance of the downward trend of R.C.A. support. Twenty years ago the church supported 19 per cent of the operating budget. Since then the figure has steadily dropped until the previous low last year of s e v e n per cent w a s reached.

F U N N Y T H I N G H A P P E N E D this week. F o r the first t i m e in a g o o d m a n y years t h e q u e s t i o n ot r e q u i r e d c h a p e l was raised w i t h a l o u d a n d p e r s i s t e n t voicc.

I t s t a r t e d p e r h a p s t w o weeks ago, b u t it w a s n ' t u n t i l this w e e k t h a t t h e d i s c u s s i o n s t a r t e d in earnest.

A

emphasis. A n d once h a v i n g said t h a t H o p e is a C h r i s t i a n a n d / o r c h u r c h r e l a t e d college.

I b e l i e v e t h a t o n e h a s t o a d m i t t h e necessity f o r s o m e c o n c r e t e e v i d e n c e s of its c h u r c h re l a t e d n e s s or its C h r i s t i a n i t y . F i n a l l y , t h e C h r i s t i a n college is n o t a n i d e a , b u t a t e r m which describes the things we do.

It's a b o u t t i m e a c t u a l l y , lor it t h e r e h a s ever been a policy at this school w h i c h was o p e n to q u e s t i o n in t h e m i n d s ot t h e s t u d e n t s , it's b e e n t h e policy ot r e q u i r i n g c h a p e l a t t e n d ance.

Of course, t h e r e a r e m a n y t h i n g s t h a t w c d o h e r e t h a t c a n n o t be c a l l e d C h r i s t i a n : T h e p e t t y j e a l o u s i e s a n d i n f i g h t i n g of t h e f a c u l t y , t h e g o s s i p in w h i c h we all love t o g r o v e l , t h e n a r r o w n e s s of o u r v i e w of t h e a p p l i c a t i o n of v a l u e s , a m a r v e l o u s c a l l o u s n e s s to t h e w o r l d a r o u n d us, a n d especially t o H o l l a n d , M i c h .

B u t p e r h a p s c h a p e l at its best is t h e r e to re m i n d u s of t h a t .

T h e critics h a v e a r g u e d t h a t t h e c h a p e l service is e s s e n t i a l l y a w o r s h i p service, a n d t h a t to c o m p e l a p e r s o n t o a t t e n d a w o r s h i p service does n o t m a k e h i m w o r s h i p necessarily a n d in fact m a y a l i e n a t e h i m f r o m w o r s h i p e n t i r e l y . T h e y a r g u e t h a t t h e C o l l e g e is a d o p t ing a p a t e r n a l i s t i c policy in r e q u i r i n g s t u d e n t s to a t t e n d . T h e critics m a i n t a i n t h a t those of d i f f e r e n t r e l i g i o n s m u s t find it r i d i c u l o u s to he r e q u i r e d t o a t t e n d t h e c h a p e l services, a n d finally t h e y assert t h a t u n w i l l i n g c o m p l i a n c e to a m l e s u c h as this b r e e d s a n u n h e a l t h y a t m o s p h e r e on the c a m p u s .

I

T ' S Q U I T E P O S S I B L E , I believe, to have a c e r t a i n d e g r e e of k i n s h i p w i t h these critics a n d still b e l i e v e t h a t t h e p r e s e n t policy is g o o d . T o d a y t h e r e are i n f l u e n c e s all a r o u n d us t h a t wovdd m a k e it seem as if t h e C h r i s t i a n l i b e r a l arts college is m e a n i n g l e s s b o t h in its a t t e m p t t o h e C h r i s t i a n a n d in ^ts a t t e m p t to e d u c a t e in t h e l i b e r a l arts. It mighf be to t h e a d v a n t a g e of t h e m a s t e r p l a n or t h e b u d g e t of t h e C o l l e g e to sever o u r affiliation with t h e R e f o r m e d C h u r c h in A m e r i c a , a n d it m i g h t h e i n f i n i t e l y b e t t e r to s t o p all this nonsense a b o u t liberal education and give each s t u d e n t a g o o d , solid, specialized t r a i n i n g in t h e field w h i c h h e wishes to p u r s u e .

H o w e v e r , I w o u l d assert t h a t this C o l l e g e w o u l d n o t b e t h e k i n d of college w h i c h it U w i t h o u t its c h u r c h affiliation or its l i b e r a l a r t s

I believe t h a t it is basically b e c a u s e t h a t H o p e is a C h r i s t i a n college, a n d t h a t as such it cares for its s t u d e n t s in a p a r t i c u l a r way.

T H E R E IS NO s i m p l e a n s w e r to q u e s t i o n s a s c o m p l e x a s these.

In a f e d e r a l s y s t e m s u c h as we h a v e in the United States, the e l e c t o r a l c a m p a i g n in e a c h s t a t e is a l m o s t c o m p l e t e l y i s o l a t e d f r o m the c a m p a i g n s in o t h e r states. It w o u l d be n e c e s s a r y to s t u d y the election results in e a c h state to f u l l y u n d e r s t a n d w h a t the result means.

There are m a n y factors that c o n t r i b u t e to p o l i t i c a l success at the p o l l s , s o m e of the m o r e imp o r t a n t b e i n g the p e r s o n a l i t y of the c a n d i d a t e , issues, p a r t y organization, a n d m o n e y . And by issues, I i n c l u d e o n l y t h o s e t h a t a r e l o c a l , not n a t i o n a l .

I D I S A G R E E with t h o s e w h o interpret the election r e s u l t s a s a r e p u d i a t i o n of the J o h n s o n Adm i n i s t r a t i o n policies, be it the w a r in V i e t n a m , the civil r i g h t s l a w s o r the d o m e s t i c s p e n d i n g p r o grams.

Many commentators would h a v e y o u believe t h a t the Republican v i c t o r i e s of this y e a r a r e u n p r e c e d e n t e d , b u t this is s i m p l y not true. It is n o r m a l f o r the " o u t " p a r t y to g a i n c o n g r e s s i o n a l a n d S e n a t e seats in m i d - t e r m elections a n d the R e p u b l i c a n g a i n s of 4 7 H o u s e a n d t h r e e S e n a t e seats are not u n u s u a l by p a s t standards.

Boyd w a s selected by the President to head the new Cabinet-level agency — the Department of Transportation. The world's first nuclear submarine, the Nautilus, suffered major d a m a g e in the fifth collision at sea of Navy vessels in the last three months.

Summarizing 11 days of testimony from experts on pollution, the House Subcommittee on Science, R e s e a r c h and Development reported that the annual loss to the United States resulting from air pollution is $11 billion and the cost of dealing with air and water pollution over the next 10 to 20 years will be over $100 billion.

Forty-four major Protestant denominations in the United States drew record contributions xj of more that $3.3 billion. When •j: added to contributions of the : : : : Roman Catholic and Eastern

Orthodox churches the sum swells to $5.5 billion. New York City dwellers rejected a civilian review board established by Mayor John Lindsay to supervise police actions.

France President Charles de Gaulle declared that hereafter the more than 100,000 flights by U.S. aircraft over France each year must be cleared in advance.

Germany Pressure in Germany to have the country go its own way, to reduce its reliance on Washington, to repair in particular the tattered relations with France and Charles de Gaulle and to inc r e a s e trade and political negotiations with Eastern European communist states have plummeted Chancellor Ludwig Erhard from the height of his political glory to political disaster in 14 months. Erhard's dominant Christian Democratic Party replaced hiir as head of the party

by Kurt-Georg Kiesinger.

Kiesinger spent one year in the Nazi party in the early 1930,s and then resigned but his former Nazi background and the rising popularity of West Berlin's Mayor Willy Brandt because of his partial s u c c e s s in dealing with c o m m u n i s t s are causing Kiesinger trouble in attempting to form a coalition government.
