Mr. Kenner h a s given music concerts in F u r o p e and America. He is presently assistant p r o f e s s o r of p i a n o at Michigan State University.

Thus, inferior science e d u c a t i o n at these institutions would lead to depressed science e d u c a t i o n in the n a t i o n ' s school system. Mr. Case a l s o cited the s e p a r a tion between the sciences a n d the humanities which exists in colleges that t r a d i t i o n a l l y a r e dedicated to the a r t s a n d sciences. He also pointed to the high r a t i o of small college g r a d u a t e s w h o e a r n the Ph.D. degree.

Wes Michaelson rec o m m e n d e d that a subcommittee be a p p o i n t e d to s t u d y S u n d a y activities. This was a p p r o v e d . A L S O T A B L E D w a s a request by Dr. J o h n Barlow, b r o u g h t to the committee by Rev. William C. Hillegonds, that meetings conducted in the m a n n e r of t h e F r i e n d s be permitted in the chapel basement. The consistency of Quaker w o r s h i p in a Reformed Church institution and the o p i n i o n held by a few m e m b e r s that Q u a k e r ism is " o u t s i d e Protestant Christ i a n i t y " was b r o u g h t out. It bec a m e evident that m o r e study w a s needed. A n u m b e r of different points of view on chapel were b r o u g h t out in the statements. A c c o r d i n g to Priscilla I nkpen, " H a v i n g chapel is one of the w a y s in which the C h r i s t i a n school reminds students that its c o m m i t m e n t is not only to a c a d e m i c truth, but a l s o to truth as it is f o u n d in C h r i s t . " R E F L E C T I N G A different point of view, J a m e s Tallis wrote, " C h u r c h related colleges are m o r e and m o r e d i s c o v e r i n g that their church-relatedness implies m a n y other things -- a n d p e r h a p s m a n y m o r e i m p o r t a n t things -- than req u i r i n g all students to come a n d " w o r s h i p " a g a i n s t their will. . . It a l s o creates a n even m o r e likely possibility that a negative reaction will result -- a resentment

f r o m which he might never recover." S p e a k i n g of the m o r n i n g services, J e r r y P o o r t i n g a stated, "It s h o u l d be concerned with w o r s h i p a n d a d o r a t i o n of Cod, and with such ques tions as p e r s o n a l purpose, g o a l s a n d m a n n e r of living.

" COMMITTEE C H A I R M A N Bruins wrote, " A t t e n d i n g morning chapel at least twice a week, therefore, is the acceptance of one aspect of the m a n y disciplines involved in the e d u c a t i n g process in a C h r i s t i a n , church-related, liberal a r t s college. F v e r y m e m b e r of the college c o m m u n i t y is recognizing the necessity to g a t h e r in w o r s h i p in r e s p o n s e to the Word of C o d . " The other student m e m b e r , Wes Michaelson, expressed his opinion by s a y i n g , " C o n c e r n i n g chapel, then, the present a n d justifiable position is that required attend a n c e is at present necessary and does m o r e g o o d t h a n h a r m as the college attempts to provide, in concrete w a y s , a C h r i s t i a n liberal arts e d u c a t i o n . " The final m e m b e r , Russ Devette stated simply, " C h a p e l services s h o u l d attempt to constantly conf r o n t the student with the fact that k n o w l e d g e is set in the confines of o u r C h r i s t i a n f a i t h .

It w a s a l s o revealed b y Director of Business Affairs, Clarence H a n d l o g t e n that p l a n s h a v e been d r a w n up for a n e x p a n s i o n of (Ulmore Hall. In the s h a p e of a s q u a r e , the addition will house 2 2 6 co-eds on three floors behind the present building. T H F V O O R H E E S F I R F escape is a cylindrical tube s t a n d i n g vertically behind the building. It h a s a n e n t r a n c e on b o t h the second a n d third floors, a l l o w i n g the girls to descend sliding d o w n a circ u l a r chute. T h e escape h a s been there for m a n y y e a r s a n d m i n o r r e p a i r s were m a d e to bring it b a c k to w o r k i n g condition. Five weeks a g o the girls protested h a z a r d o u s fire conditions by p a r a d i n g outside the Presid e n t ' s h o m e after c l o s i n g hours. N o d i s c i p l i n a r y action w a s taken a g a i n s t the d e m o n s t r a t o r s , whose a c t i o n s p r o d u c e d s o m e concrete results. ALTHOUGH THEY NOW h a v e one escape, the girls a r e still dissatisfied. J u n i o r Sue Albers said that " n o one feels we'll all be able to get o u t . " Sophom o r e Ann G u n k l e r described the s i t u a t i o n as "definitely inadequate." Mr. H a n d l o g t e n traced the hist o r y of the p r o b l e m of the fire escapes. A p l a n for o u t d o o r fire e s c a p e s had been p r e p a r e d for V o o r h e e s this s u m m e r and was a b o u t to be implemented when it w a s discovered that the p l a n h a d never been a p p r o v e d by the fire m a r s h a l l .

Since then, however, sentimental a n d financial c o n s i d e r a t i o n s for the c a m p u s l a n d m a r k h a v e combined to c a u s e a shift f r o m this p o s i t i o n .

" He said that if the remodeling is done, it would take place " a s fast as p o s s i b l e , " p r o b a b l y during " t h e s u m m e r m o n t h s .

The anchor wishes to offer its sinc?re apologies to Gene Pearson for the overly personal way in which we criticized his actions at the Student Life Committee meeting. We have never questioned Pearson's integrity or character and we regrat that our criticism of his actions have been taken by some as an attack on his char-

acter. We hope for further debate on the responsibility of student leaders to the student body. To the extent that we have hindered such debate by dealing in personalities, we offer our genuine

regrets.

Dean Mathis On Hope and Its Students

f

By George Arwady Who m a k e s the decisions at Hope College? What kind of relationship exists between the students a n d the Administration? What does the f u t u r e hold for Hope College? These were s o m e of the questions discussed in an interview recently with Dean for Academic Affairs, William S. Mathis. The Dean w a s asked whether he t h o u g h " a g o o d relationship exists between th' students a n d A d m i n i s t r a t i o n . "

'This college operates from the bottom up. The faculty makes decisions on the recommendations of committees of which students are always a part.'

'I'm in college teaching and administration because I respect the college student as an individual. A relationship of mutual respect is called for.'

'Hope is not small enough anymore to be one happy family. While it is a community, there ere sub-committees and sub-loyalties within the larger community.'

ulty. A faculty decision o r a student-faculty committee r e c o m m e n d a t i o n is usually just passed a l o n g by the A d m i n i s t r a tive Council because it " d o e s n ' t skirt the limits of policy."

"Students h a v e u n d e r e s t i m a t e d their power on committees. T h e committee membership of students is not taken seriously e n o u g h . This college o p e r a t e s f r o m the bottom up. The faculty m a k e s decisions on the r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s of committees of which students a r e a l w a y s a p a r t . "

routines to eliminate the busy w o r k of A d m i n i s t r a t i o n c a n m a k e it possible to establish p e r s o n a l relationships. We would be able to allow m o r e time for p e r s o n a l contact."

Role of Administration

The Church and Hope

Student-Administration Relations Dean Mathis replied, " M y own feeling is that the r elations hip is strained because the students h a v e p e r h a p s misinterpreted the A d m i n i s t r a t i o n ' s role. The students h a v e a picture of the Administration as a n all-powerful god. Hopefully, it s h o u l d n ' t be that, but the very antithesis." " T h e essential element of a g o o d adm i n i s t r a t i o n is a ' c o m e let us r e a s o n together' attitude on the part of both student a n d a d m i n i s t r a t i o n . At Hope, students seem to come to me with a desire for a final a u t h o r i t a r i a n decision. 1 don't like this. I'm in college teaching a n d administration because I respect the college student as a n individual. A relationship of m u t u a l respect and interdependence is called for. I c a n ' t possibly see all the sides of even a single student's problems." Dean Mathis noted that students often do not know who m a k e s the decisions which influence them a n d underestimate their influence. Who Makes Decisions? In reply to a q u e r y of who is the Administration, Dean Mathis listed the members of the newly created Administrative Council. He described this council as " a pool of ideas and p r o b l e m s , a session at which a l o n g look at the interrelationship of all aspects of the College is taken." The Dean said that the chief decisionm a k i n g b o d y on c a m p u s was the fac-

" The role of the A d m i n i s t r a t i o n is to implement faculty decisions where possible. T h e A d m i n i s t r a t i o n reviews faculty decisions in r e g a r d to Hoard of T r u s tees policy a n d the s c h o o l ' s fiscal a n d physical policies a n d s i t u a t i o n , " the dean said. " T h e role of the H o a r d of Trustees is to f o r m u l a t e the o v e r a l l general policy of the school. The b o a r d sets the f r a m e w o r k within which the College operates. T h e H o a r d p r o v i d e s a continuity to school policy which is not f o u n d in other campus institutions." Dean Mathis described the President's j o b as extremely difficult. The President must keep one foot in c a m p u s life itself and one foot in the w o r l d of the people concerned with H o p e College. He must act as l i a s o n between the Hoard of T r u s tees a n d the A d m i n i s t r a t i o n . He m u s t also be sensitive to attitudes of the c h u r c h , the c o m m u n i t y a n d the a l u m n i , he said. Senate and Students THE N E E D S OF T H E student can best be expressed t h r o u g h the Student Senate, a c c o r d i n g to Dean Mathis. " 1 would like to see the Senate f u n c t i o n i n g as a representative b o d y reflecting a consensus of student o p i n i o n - the very best of student thinking. The students a s s i g n e d to r e g u l a r committees should b e c o m e a liaison between the faculty a n d the students, g i v i n g detailed reports b a c k to the Senate a n d t h r o u g h them to the student body.

Personal Relations Needed Dean Mathis expressed regret that there seemed to be a lack of p e r s o n a l relations between students and A d m i n i s t r a t i o n . He called the development of such a relationship H o p e ' s " m o s t desperate n e e d . " He c o m p l a i n e d that he almost feels "insulated f r o m the s t u d e n t s " a n d wishes to " e s t a b l i s h a relationship that is missing." Dean Mathis tied this lack of r a p p o r t in with the size of the College. He said that Hope "is not s m a l l e n o u g h a n y m o r e to be one h a p p y f a m i l y . While it is a c o m m u n i t y , there a r e s u b - c o m m u n i t i e s a n d sub-loyalties within the l a r g e r comm u n i t y . " He e m p h a s i z e d that " w e need to hear each other o u t " for the g o o d of the whole College. The Dean pointed out one w a y that the A d m i n i s t r a t i o n is attempting to m o v e t o w a r d the attainment of a m o r e ideal situation. "We're h a v i n g a t r a n s i t i o n in the Administration. T h e College itself is d e v e l o p i n g a system, a routine. T h e imp r o v e m e n t a n d m o d e r n i z a t i o n of m a n y

The Dean was a l s o asked a b o u t the r elations hip of the College and the Church a n d asked whether we can rem a i n affiliated in a period of rising costs of education. He said that it is " h a r d to k n o w w h a t will h a p p e n . At the present time the adv a n t a g e s of affiliation outweigh the disa d v a n t a g e s . " Dean Mathis felt, however, that " a redefinition of the r e l a t i o n s h i p is imperative." He noted that it is p r e f e r a b l e to h a v e " a college-related c h u r c h r a t h e r t h a n a church-related college. The C h u r c h h a s never been this," the Dean said. Healthy Relationship " W e ' v e never lived t h r o u g h times like these in higher e d u c a t i o n . 1 d o n ' t think a breach is impossible, but it would t a k e some l o n g thinking and evaluation for Hope to g o without the church. There is a healthiness in the r elations hip between the Reformed C h u r c h a n d Hope, a relaxed attitude which y o u d o n ' t find in m a n y other s c h o o l s , " Dean Mathis concluded.
