How High the War WASHINGTON Everyone knows the Viet w a r is costly, but n o one realized how costly, until the other d a y when the W a s h i n g t o n Post revealed that it costs $ 3 3 2 , 0 0 0 to kill o n e Viet Cong. T h e writer a r r i v e d at his figure by t a k i n g the m o n t h l y a v e r a g e of enemy killed a n d div i d i n g it by the m o n t h l y cost of the w a r , which now seems to be r u n n i n g at a r a t e of $1.7 billion. If these figures a r e correct, it w o u l d t a k e $ 3 3 2 million to kill 1,000 of the e n e m y a n d even if we f o u n d a division of N o r t h Vietnamese soldiers we w o u l d n ' t h a v e the f u n d s to d e s t r o y it. It is o b v i o u s that if we w a n t to h a v e both g u n s a n d butter in 1967, we're g o i n g to h a v e to cut d o w n thecost of k n o c k i n g off the Viet C o n g . B E T T E R B R A I N S t h a n 1 h a v e been w o r k i n g o n the p r o b l e m , a n d while n o decision h a s been m a d e , these are a few of the s u g g e s t i o n s that the experts h a v e c o m e u p with. It h a s been p r o p o s e d that instead of b o m b s , A m e r i c a n planes d r o p new automobiles that h a v e been called in f o r defects on the s u b u r b s of H a n o i . Once e n o u g h c a r s h a v e been d r o p p e d , the N o r t h Vietnamese would p r o c e e d to kill each other o n their own h i g h w a y s ( p r o v i d i n g we d o n ' t destroy the h i g h w a y s ) . The m a i n v a l u e of this p l a n , besides eliminating the e n e m y , is that it would solve the p r o b l e m of w h a t the United States s h o u l d d o with its u n s a f e cars. Another project that is being g i v e n close study is to d r o p p a m p h l e t s on N o r t h Vietn a m a n d Viet C o n g zones offering a n y o n e who deserts to o u r side a $ 2 5 , 0 0 0 h o m e , free e d u c a t i o n for his children, c o l o r television a n d a p a i d - u p m e m b e r s h i p in the c o u n t r y club of his choice. This w o u l d c o m e to f a r less t h a n $ 3 3 2 , 0 0 0 a n d would certainly be a g r e a t p r o p a g a n d a v i c t o r y f o r o u r side.

If the Viet C o n g deserter prefers, we could give him a n u m b e r e d b a n k a c c o u n t in Switzerland s o Ho Chi Minh would never find out a b o u t it. S T I L L A N O T H E R s u g g e s t i o n is that the United States build A m e r i c a n - t y p e factories all a l o n g the N o r t h - S o u t h V i e t n a m b o r d e r . The s m o k e f r o m the factories, with the help of a p r e v a i l i n g s o u t h e a s t e r l y w i n d , would pollute the a i r of N o r t h V i e t n a m a n d the C o m m u n i s t s would s l o w l y expire. It m i g h t t a k e a little l o n g e r t h a n other m e t h o d s of e l i m i n a t i n g the enemy, but the factories could be m a k i n g w a r m a t e r i a l s , so all the effort would not be wasted. This is a little f a r out a n d would r e q u i r e a g r e a t deal of c o o r d i n a t i o n , but there a r e s u p p o s e d to be quite a few A m e r i c a n d r a f t d o d g e r s in C a n a d a . In e x c h a n g e f o r a n a m n e s t y we w o u l d p e r s u a d e them to g o to H a n o i , a n d they could teach N o r t h Vietnamese students h o w to a v o i d their d r a f t . If there were e n o u g h N o r t h V i e t n a m e s e d r a f t d o d g e r s who w o u l d refuse to fight, we could s a v e several billion d o l l a r s a y e a r . N o idea is t o o far-fetched in time of w a r , a n d one that is a l s o b e i n g c o n s i d e r e d h a s to d o with g i v i n g out " c o n t r a c t s " to c e r t a i n people in the A m e r i c a n u n d e r w o r l d . T h e g o i n g rate in the u n d e r w o r l d to wipe out s o m e b o d y is $ 2 5 , 0 0 0 . T h e idea w o u l d be for the United States to m a k e a " c o n t r a c t " with a n u n d e r w o r l d s y n d i c a t e a n d let p r i v a t e e n t e r p r i s e t a k e o v e r the e l i m i n a t i o n of o u r Viet C o n g friends. T H E S E A R E O N L Y a few of the suggestions that a r e b e i n g c o n s i d e r e d . The r e a s o n why a s o l u t i o n to the p r o b l e m h a s to be f o u n d fast is that at the present cost of fighting the e n e m y we really c a n ' t a f f o r d to wipe them out. As a m a t t e r of fact, the less Viet C o n g we kill, the m o r e m o n e y we s a v e a n d the s t r o n g e r o u r e c o n o m y will be to fight the w a r .

Let me c o n g r a t u l a t e P l a y b o y f o r its interview with N o r m a n T h o m a s .

Dear Editor . . .

Profs Homes and Wilson Reply to Previous anchor As a n a d d e d note, there a r e presently three, not two, a r e a s used b y the art d e p a r t m e n t -the b a s e m e n t of Phelps Hall, the attic of the Science Building, and the l a r g e lecture r o o m in the Physics-Math Building, where all the art h i s t o r y c o u r s e s a r e taught. W I T H R E F E R E N C E TO the s u r v e y of art p r o g r a m s in churchrelated liberal a r t s colleges which 1 c o n d u c t e d last y e a r , it should be noted that H o p e does not h a v e one of the " w e a k e s t " art departments. What the s u r v e y did reveal is that H o p e did, u n f o r t u n a t e l y , h a v e s o m e of the worst physical facilities, the smallest b u d g e t , and the worst teacher-student enrollment r a t i o of a n y of the schools offering a m a j o r in art. Since that time, o u r b u d g e t h a s increased e n o u g h to allow us to continue to i m p r o v e o u r slide collection a n d studio e q u i p m e n t .

(Continued from page 4) well a s a n a r t h i s t o r i a n , we a r e not so b a d l y off a s y o u r article infers. In a d d i t i o n , Mr. Michel seems to be d o i n g a n excellent j o b with the p r i n t - m a k i n g p r o g r a m , so the r e a s o n we need m o r e staff members, which y o u r article did not cite, is not so m u c h b e c a u s e we h a v e p e o p l e t r a i n e d in the w r o n g a r e a s , but b e c a u s e we need a d d i tional people - a n d need them in every a r e a except p a i n t i n g . Due to a p p r o x i m a t e l y n i n e c u r r i c u l u m c h a n g e s in the last y e a r , we n o w have an almost adequate prog r a m of c o u r s e offerings, a n d a better one t h a n m a n y s m a l l colleges. It is a l s o true that it is not the a i m of the liberal a r t s college to p r o d u c e p r o f e s s i o n a l artists, I sincerely h o p e we c a n turn out highly educated art students.

All in all, we d o rather well c o n s i d e r i n g w h a t we h a v e , a n d o n the b a s i s of the students we a r e now p r o d u c i n g , a r e not the worst d e p a r t m e n t . We merely work under s o m e of the worst conditions. In the interests of clarity a n d a c c u r a t e j o u r n a l i s m , both of which are, 1 a s s u m e , a concern of the a n c h o r , a n d c o n s i d e r i n g the implications for a n y student w h o is c o n t e m p l a t i n g enrollment in art courses at H o p e College, I suggest y o u print this letter, o r at least a n article c o n t a i n i n g the a c c u r a t e and current i n f o r m a t i o n . IN T H E E V E N T that the anchor is c o n t e m p l a t i n g a n y f u t u r e articles, satirical o r otherwise, i n v o l v i n g the art department, I will be g l a d to p r o v i d e a n y necessary i n f o r m a t i o n , in the h o p e that it will be used accurately.

N e w m a n ' s " T h e World of M a t h e m a t i c s " c o n tains the f o l l o w i n g p a s s a g e : " M o d e r n m e c h a n i c s describes quite well h o w real b o d i e s b e h a v e in the real w o r l d ; its principles a n d l a w s a r e derived, however, f r o m a nonexistent conceptual world of p u r e , clean, e m p t y , boundless Euclidean space, in which perfect g e o m e t r i c bodies, execute perfect geometric f i g u r e s . " This statement, when a p p l i e d to religion a n d , w h a t c o n c e r n s us especially, to the C h r i s t i a n religion, c ould be r e p h r a s e d a s follows: T h e C h r i s t i a n religion describes quite well h o w real h u m a n b e i n g s b e h a v e in the real h u m a n society; its principles a n d l a w s - - (i.e. its ethical a n d m o r a l m a n d a t e s , its system of v a l u e s , of g o o d a n d evil, of right a n d w r o n g , of beautiful a n d u g l y , of sin a n d g r a c e ) -- a r e derived, h o w e v e r , f r o m a nonexistent c o n c e p t u a l world of pure, clean, e m p t y , b o u n d l e s s h e a v e n l y p a r a d i s e , in which perfect angelic b e i n g s execute perfect angelic actions. Q U E S T I O N : If we c a n only come to g r i p s with the empirical reality of the p h y s i c a l world a r o u n d us by u s i n g nonexistent concepts f r o m the irreality of a nonexistent world of ideal geometries, w h y then is it so h a r d for us to accept a n d use the nonexistent concepts f r o m the irreality of a nonexistent h e a v e n l y p a r a d i s e with ( i o d a s its Master - instead of the l a w s of g r a v i t y a n d inertia - in o r d e r to c o m e to g r i p s with the v i b r a n t l y live reality of o u r existence as t h i n k i n g , feeling, a n d willing h u m a n b e i n g s ? Or, to put it m o r e b l u n t l y : Why a r e there so m a n y " i n t e l l e c t u a l s " in the fields of s o c i o l o g y , psyc h o l o g y , p h i l o s o p h y , theology, art, literature, et.al. w h o seem to

DR. GERHARD F . MEGOW feel a c o m p u l s i v e u r g e to batter d o w n a n d ridicule the i r r a t i o n a l elements of o u r C h r i s t i a n heritage while it never occurs to them to a d d r e s s themselves with equally vociferous a b a n d o n to the irrational elements in the so-called " e x a c t " sciences? A F U R T H E R Q U E S T I O N : If empirical reality, the physical as well a s the psychic, cannot be c o n s c i o u s l y possessed by m a n without the irreality of nonexistent c o n c e p t u a l w o r l d s , in how f a r c a n these c o n c e p t u a l w o r l d s still be called u n r e a l a n d nonexistent? Since the f o r m e r in o r d e r to " e x i s t " c a n n o t d o without the latter, b o t h either " e x i s t " or " n o n ex ist." The fact that with the limitations of o u r h u m a n m i n d we c a n n o t penetrate the m y s t e r y of the " n o n existence" of a n idealized geometric w o r l d n o r of a n idealized angelic p a r a d i s e is ultimately no proof that there a r e no such worlds. It is precisely here where due to the limitations of o u r mental facilities faith must become operative. The t r o u b l e with l a r g e sections of Christianity in g e n e r a l and with C h r i s t i a n Liberal Arts Colleges in p a r t i c u l a r is that they fail to recognize the faith on which science o p e r a t e s as faith a n d as irration-

al while in fact it is every bit as i r r a t i o n a l a s the faith on which C h r i s t i a n i t y operates. And they f u r t h e r m o r e do not realize that the faith which is the precondition for the pursuit of scientific reality is in its o r i e n t a t i o n - not in its essence -- totally different f r o m the C h r i s t i a n faith which is the prec o n d i t i o n for the psychic h u m a n reality, a n d that the one c a n n o t be substituted f o r the other. It is the f a m i l i a r distinction of the sciences for the " H o w ? " as opposed to the p r e o c c u p a t i o n of Christianity with the " W h y ? " of all that exists. A N D H E R E T H E further dis tinction m u s t be m a d e that Christ i a n i t y ' s p r e o c c u p a t i o n is not with the s e a r c h for the " W h y ? " but o n l y with the s e a r c h for the best f o r m u l a t i o n of the answer to the " W h y ? " . F o r Christianity professes to possess the a n s w e r given to it p e r s o n a l l y t h r o u g h its L o r d a n d Master .Jesus Christ. This a n s w e r Christianity must continu o u s l y r e s h a p e not as to its contents but as to the f o r m in which it c a n be most effectively b r o u g h t to b e a r on the sensibilities of the world of S a t a n , i.e., all f o r m s of the n o n - C h r i s t i a n world by which the C h r i s t i a n world is cont i n u o u s l y s u r r o u n d e d f r o m the outside a n d p e r m e a t e d f r o m the inside. The present crisis in Christianity is due to the fact that m a n y t h e o l o g i a n s -- often the very sincerest a n d . m o s t gifted ones, intellectually that is - with their flocks h a v e c h a n g e d the contents of the C h r i s t i a n answer instead of its f o r m . Instead of a d d r e s s i n g the C h r i s t i a n answer to a scientifically inclined world in scientific terms b a s e d o n the premises of C h r i s t i a n faith, they really address the scientific quest to a residual segment of a still Christian inclined w o r l d in C h r i s t i a n terms b a s e d on the premises of the scientific quest. Or, stated in simpler w o r d s : T h e y critically investigate Christianity by u s i n g scientific " p a r a m e t e r s " instead of critically investigating science by u s i n g Christian " p a r a m e t e r s . " W H A T IS H O P E College g o i n g to be, a " H o w ? " - college of essentially scientific orientation, or a " W h y ? " - college of C h r i s t i a n commitment?

Dear Editor . . .

Knicks and Arkies Drop Out Of Annual Sing, Say Why I'm writing t o c o n g r a t u l a t e y o u ( o r the writer if it w a s not y o u ) on the editorial in y o u r issue of J a n . 13. It is perceptive, thoughtful, a n d v e r y well written. In g o o d editorial style, it c o m e s to a fine climax, first in the last p a r a g r a p h and then in the last sentence. I would be willing to g i v e you " A " m a r k s in English, j o u r n a l i s m a n d religion. I h a v e been e n j o y i n g the a n c h o r for a y e a r now a n d believe the J a n 13 issue is the best of w h a t I've r e a d , including the lovely ima g i n a t i v e writing u n d e r t h e " E i f t h C o l u m n " caption. A non-trivial detail— either the type-setting o r the p r o o f - r e a d i n g , if not b o t h , is vastly i m p r o v e d o v e r a y e a r a g o . Cordially, E d w a r d Wichers C l a s s of 1913 P.S. C o n g r a t u l a t i o n s a l s o to " R a b b i t t - El" in the r e a d e r s ' column. E d i t o r ' s Note: T h e a u t h o r of the editorial to which Dr. Wichers is referring was B o b D o n i a , a n c h o r editorial a s s i s t a n t . We, the m e m b e r s of the Arcadian f r a t e r n i t y , h a v e chosen not to p a r t i c i p a t e in the a n n u a l Sing Contest. The time which m u s t be spent o n this enterprise is a p p r o x imately one o r two h o u r s per d a y for three weeks. We believe that the cost in time is p r o h i b i t i v e of such a n enterprise. WE F E E L T H A T the Sing is not a beneficial enterprise. It no longer c o m m a n d s school interest nor d o e s it c o n f o r m with the general interests of the d a y . If is not because of a p a t h y that we refuse to p a r t i c i p a t e in the Sing, but b e c a u s e of a sincere interest in the activities of this c a m p u s ; because we believe t h a t the energies exerted to p a r t i c i p a t e in the Sing a r e not sufficient for its expense a n d that better a n d g r a n d -

er a c c o m p l i s h m e n t s c a n be s o u g h t after with the e x p e n s e of the s a m e effort. We a r e not content to merely decline to p a r t i c i p a t e in this competition. We are deeply interested in c o m m i t i n g o u r s e l v e s to work ing for a better a n d m o r e invigo r a t i n g p r o g r a m for the immediate future. WE B E L I E V E that in refusing to participate in the Sing, we will stimulate t h o u g h t a n d action leading to a m o r e beneficial p r o g r a m to replace the Sing. The Men of A r c a d i a We the m e m b e r s of the Knick e r b o c k e r E r a t e r n i t y after careful deliberation a n d c o n s i d e r a t i o n h a v e in a recent meeting of o u r b o d y decided b y a vote 'of o u r m e m b e r s to not p a r t i c i p a t e in the a n n u a l All College Sing. These a r e o u r r e a s o n s for t a k i n g this action: 1. I H E S I N G HAS as a n inter-fraternity competition h a s out g r o w n its o r i g i n a l p u r p o s e of stimu l a t i n g unity between the Creeks a n d the college c o m m u n i t y . This competition in actuality h a s caused dissention within a n d a m o n g the v a r i o u s fraternities and s o r o r ities. Fraternities become disrupted d u r i n g sing practices r a t h e r t h a n pull together because m a n y of the m e m b e r s feel that in short, the Sing is ridiculous and time c o n s u m i n g in relation to what it accomplishes. T o d a y on Hope's c a m p u s we find ourselves competing for e v e r y t h i n g f r o m traditional s p o r t s competition to the winter c a r n i v a l , not to mention grades. 2. The Sing h a s caused fraternities and sororities to specialize in getting its m e m b e r s into the college c h o r u s , etc., to create core g r o u p s of p a r t i c i p a n t s to aid in the Sing.

cal incompetence while others find it a waste of precious a c a d e m i c time. 3. FOR S E V E R A L Y E A R S the I EC a n d recently the Student Senate h a v e investigated the possibility of d i s c o n t i n u i n g the Sing. We feel that now is the time f o r direct action at least on o u r p a r t . 4. The use of c e n s o r s h i p is a l s o a factor. A fraternity or s o r o r i t y is required to s i n g a s o n g f a v o r able to the college a n d not to the individual g r o u p p a r t i c i p a t i n g in the Sing. 5. The Sing h a s become a publicity item for the college a n d not an event to create unity a m o n g the Creeks. The audience at the Sing sees only a q u e s t i o n a b l e , hasty musical result by m a n y of the contestants r a t h e r t h a n a polished enthusiastic p e r f o r m a n c e . 6. The a m b i g u i t y c o n c e r n i n g the selection of j u d g e s a n d purported biases h a s been a traditional b o n e of contention. 7. WE F E E L A MORE up dated alternative to the Sing such a s the suggested variety s h o w would be of m o r e interest to both the c a m p u s as a whole and the Creek societies. 8. If fraternities a n d sororities a s pointed out in v a r i o u s A n c h o r editorials are to re-evaluate themselves, we of K n i c k e r b o c k e r must state that we a r e a social fraternity (note p a g e 22 of H o p e College H a n d b o o k ) not a service o r g a n i z a t i o n and certainly not a glee club.

SNOW CARNIVAL—For the first time in four years, Hope had a Snow Carnival last weekend. In the snow sculpture competition, the winner of the dormitory division was Kollen Hail with its representation of Snoopy pursuing the Red Baron (left). The Emmies are shown above running in the dog-sled race. The competition was keen, but Al Griswold, Doug Nichols, Cliff Mulvihill, Ken Bruggers, Bob Schaap and Wayne Meerman won the contest. The Arcadians placed immediately behind them. The winning cottage snow sculpture was the entry of Belt Cottage (right). The Centurian fraternity and Kappa Chi sorority worked jointly to win the Greek snow sculpture competition.
