Student opens senator's mail
Governmental s.o.b. story by Kathi Machti
"Got a gripe? Write your Senator." These words have haunted me ever since I took Current Events in high school. Occasionally, I've even followed their sage advice, but I never really thought about what happened to my letter once it reached the S.O.B. (that's Senate Office Building). I supposed that the Senator simply read it, reviewed it, dictated a reply, and signed the finished product (or at least followed some close approximation of that process). Twenty minutes into my internship in a Senate office I witnessed the death of that illusion. Before me sat a bundle of approximately 150 letters to be opened, stapled to their envelopes, scanned, and distributed to the various staff members. More were promised in an hour. I hoped, in vain, that they were joldng. By the third bundle, a concerned secretary had confiscated my letter opener, fearful of the suicidal glint in my eye. I became almost fanatically happy every time I came to some junk mail which I could simply throw away. Eventually, however, I began to pay attention to the mail answering process as a whole, not just open, unfold, staple, date and scream. Most of the letters were about certain issues like gun control or pollution. Most of the concerned authors simply received a "personalized" form letter as a reply. The Senator never even saw them. I began to think that the whole system was immoral. A few letters found their way into a box marked "casework." Here rested the heart rending accounts of Social Security checks that never came, GI bill ripoffs, mothers with delinquent children, and injured parties in general. These were TOP PRIORITY. They were immediately mailed back to the home office for direct action (which, considering the nature of the U.S. Postal Service, wasn't all that immediate). Of course, the correspondence was not always that dull. One woman enclosed the pornographic pictures which her son had received in the mail. We almost had a riot over who got to answer that one. Plus I did learn a lot of interesting facts that never came to light in Poli Sci 101. Henry Kissinger is really a Russky (you can tell by his accent). Vice
President Rockefeller is a member of the*KGB, and Mr. Ford is his puppet (I always thought the President looked a lot like Howdy Doody). And all the American people hear are LIES, LIES, LIES! Next I'll get one telling me that the United Nations is actually a huge international drug r i n g . . . . One cannot, however, remain an envelope slitter all one's life, and in due time I did get a promotion. I got to answer letters. I told one 11 year old what advice I had for young people in the Bicentennial year (Sincerely, Kathi J. Machli, United States Senator).

Hemenway reports no pre-tenure jitters by Robert Eckert The following is the first in a series of interviews with professors in various stages of their teaching careers intended to gather the various views of tenure as seen by those most affected by it
Dr. Stephen Hemenway, assistant professor of English, is in his fourth year at Hope. In-depth evaluations for tenure do not begin until a teacher's fifth or sixth year with a decision coming at the end of the teacher's seventh. For a teacher early in his career, like Hemenway, tenure raises a number of questions. For example, is it something he wants in the first place? "It can put you in a rut," Hemenway said. "Once you stay at a place and you feel you're doing a decent job, the pressure is on for your own academic security to stay there until you receive tenure. Some people are frightened into it because of the hassles of finding a new job.
Conservative scholar to speak next week ^ Dr. Russell Kirk, a conservative scholar and author, will visit Hope next Thursday and Friday. Kirk's visit is under the sponsorship of the Student Congress, Cultural Affairs Committee, chaplain's office, economics and business administration department and political science department. Kirk is the author of 18 books, hundreds of periodial essays and short stories, and is a syndicated columnist. Kirk will speak during Thursday's community hour in Dimnent Memorial Chapel on "Protest, Revolution and Permanent Things." He will also present a public lecture Thursday evening at 7:30 in Winants Auditorium of Graves Hall on "How to Celebrate the Bicentenary."
Unfortunately, my superior did not think an 11 year old should be told to grab for all the gusto she could get, and I had to revise my reply. I hope she will always remember to value her education and to be kind to others (and I tell people to practice what they preach). Soon I had charge of all the Bicentennial-grade-school-project letters. "What the Bicentennial means to me" resulted (three cheers for form letters). I was now an expert. Meanwhile on the other side of Capitol Hill my colleaques were
He will be visiting various economics and political science classes Friday morning. Further information can be obtained from Dr. Jack Holmes, assistant professor of political science.

STEPHEN HEMENWAY
"If you're at a place for a length of time and you feel you're contributing to the school, it's almost professional suicide to try and start elsewhere." Hemenway, so far, has not made a conscious effort to do things specifically to help his chances for tenure. "I resolved when I came that I was going to enjoy teaching here and not be intimidated by vague notions of what my superior thought was the right or wrong thing to do inside or outside of the classroom." He said he has stuck to his resolution and his students ask "should you be doing that?" more often than his colleagues do. However, he has nothing to hide from either, "Anything I've done has been professionally justifiable. I can't measure my life in terms of what others think I ought to be doing." He added, "No one has told me that what I've done is detrimental to my chances of receiving tenure. As far as I know I'm somebody Hope can use." Hemenway, however, is not overly confident in his ability not to let tenure worry him. "There are subtle pressures that change people," he said. One of those pressures might be going through a system one disagrees with. "I disapprove of tenure in principle," Hemenway said, "but I haven't got any surefire solutions. I would be more in favor of three to five year contracts that would be renew-
able. If the school is concerned with continued excellence, then there is evaluation all along the line." Speaking specifically of Hope's situation, Hemenway said he dislikes the factionalism that tenure causes here. "A lack of charity and brotherhood emerges," he said. Hemenway believes that the seven year wait before being granted tenure is a plus for Hope's system. "The way i f s set up here you've got to prove yourself and be dedicated to stay that long." He contrasted it to many high school systems that decide on tenure after two years. "It's easy to pretend you're working hard for ^ two years, get tenure, and then quit working." Hemenway also complimented Hope's system of yearly evaluations in the area of a teacher's research, classroom activity counseling and community involvement. "They've really tried to come up with something that's fair." Included in those yearly evaluations is a letter written by the dean and department chairman. "The one I got last year was very thorough. If they really take these
things seriously, I'm not too worried." - • The common belief among students that untenured teachers are under pressure to tow the line has not proved true in Hemenway's case. "The people in the English department have been open and encourage new teaching techniques. It's an ideal • place. There's nothing I've found that stifles the teacher."
Art department presents lecture The art department will present an illustrated lecture on the great Gothic cathedral, Chartres Cathedral, by Professor Malcolm Miller of the Syndicat d'Initiative, Chartres, France. Miller was born in Stourbridge, England, educated at King Edward VI School, Birmingham and Durham University with a major in French and an honors paper on Chartres Cathedral. Since 1958 he has been the official lecturer in English on Chartres Cathedral at Chartres. The lecture will be held in the DeWitt Cultural Center Art Gallery tonight at 7:30 p.m.
Theater department schedules auditions Theater auditions are scheduled next week for the 1976 Summer Repertory Theater and for the student production, Full Circle, directed by Dean Campione. Full Circle auditions are for men only. These are scheduled in the Studio Theater on Sunday from 7 to 10 p.m. and Monday from 6:30-10 p.m. All campus males are encouraged to audition. Performances will be April 14-17 in the main theater. Don Finn, producing director of the 1976 summer theater is auditioning on Monday from
6:30-10 p.m. in the main theater of the DeWitt Cultural Center. These are open auditions. Those auditioning should come with two prepared selections and a song. The summer company begins rehearsals on June 14 and performs from July 9 through September 4. The season opens with the musical Fiddler on the Roof, followed by the hit comedy, Arsenic and Old Lace. ~ Another musical, Dames at Sea, and John Steinbeck's drama Of Mice and Men complete the repertory offerings.

Additional input needed As a final word on the proposal by the physical education department to include aerobics in the two hour phys. ed. requirement of the core curriculum, it seems that the wrong students are being given the
our comments opportunity to respond. If the proposal is implemented, very few current Hope students will be affected. The soonest the new course would be put into effect would be the fall semester of 1977.
fester
Many students currently enrolled at Hope have either completed their phys. ed. requirement or have gotten so used to the requirement as described in the catalog, that anything that has the slightest appearance of being ^n additional requirement will meet strong opposition. The Academic Affairs Board and the phys. ed. department should ask the admissions representatives to gather information from high school juniors and seniors on how they would react to a course such as aerobics. With the increased emphasis on physical fitness that has been introduced into elementary and secondary schools in recent years, it may very well be that Hope students of the future would welcome such a course.

Stuffed turtle by K. Gary Hasek and Tom Westervelt
each of the quarreling animals was saying and thought it strange that anyone would devote such energy to building barriers over self asserting issues. The turtle spoke up as loud as he could to get their attention. "Please stop!" he shouted again and again until there was relative silence. > "Please listen! Don't you know that the reason you fight and quarrel is because of the bad that is within you? You want something but don't get it because you do it with wrong motives. You only want to fulfill your own desires. Don't you know that He who made the swamp and all of us wishes us to serve Him and each other? I ask you then to turn from dwelling on what you want. Rather, submit to the Swampmaker and what He wants-love." The animals looked at each other and gr imaced. Most of them huddled together in one great plotting circle. The decision was made on what to do with this turtle fellow. They grabbed him, tied him down and began hitting him. This attempt at the turtle's destruction was not very successful because he withdrew into his tough shell. They endeavored in more effective torture. They stuffed thick swamp clay into every opening of his hard exterior. He could do little now but to submit and suffocate. It was the first time the swamp animals had ever achieved unity.
There once was a swamp in the middle of a forest where a small society of the animal kingdom existed in discord. The swamp inhabitants consistently spent their days debating social and political issues. The most radical of the creatures were Miz Fox, who fought for the equal rights of her fellow foxes, Rewy Muskrat, who regularly passed out leaflets advocating the burning of the swamp in order to build a new habitat created by the animals, and Old Bud Badger who was vehemently against everything the former two proposed, because at his age he didn't want anything changed. The other creatures spoke their minds as well, generally affirming what the more vocal ones liad said. These verbal arguments often broke out into physical confrontations consisting mostly of mud slinging and pushing each other into the swamp waters. One day a creature from the farthest and darkest part of the swamp area wandered through the region where the usual bickering occurred.

Acting, dancing make Anything Goes a success The following fc written by Kate Solms. She reviews the final dress rehearsal of the theater departments production of Anything Goes. Performances of Anything Goes will be given tonight and tomorrow at 8 p.m, and March 3-6 at the same time. ' The overture to the final dress rehearsal of Anything Goes has ended. Everyone on stage was moving very fast, and none of the lines seemed to quite make the ^ jump across the orchestra pit. I was wondering if I could make a quiet exit, When Rich Hoehler and Lynn Berry started singing "You're the Tops." By the end of the song, I was convinced that I could be entertained all evening just by Hoehler dancing up the stairs to the main deck. But there is much more than that to this musical. There are Cole Porter's songs, of course, and a good script; but there are also beautiful dance numbers, an excellent casting of parts and wonderful costumes. There are problems with this production, hut you come away with the feeling of being very well-entertained.
Director Donald Finn is to be congratulated for that casting job as 'well as his staging of this musical Finn seems to have an eye for fitting personalities of actors and the characters from the play together, and in this show it is a constant delight. Ricl^ Hoehler is cast as Billy Crocker, the fast-thinking, charming hero who has boarded a boat without ticket or passport. (For love of the heroine, naturally.). Hoehler has had a long career of successes in Hope's theater, and he handles this part with a great deal of style. It is wonderful to watch him move on stage, and especially when he is dancing with Lynn Berry. Berry plays Reno Sweeney, a notorious night club singer who used-to be an evangelist. It's unfortunate that many of the songs seem to be just below her range. When she is singing "Take Me Back to Manhattan," a song in a higher range, her voice is lovely. But she handles the part of Reno with the right touch of unladylike forthrightness-she can tell Sir Evelyn straight out that she wants
Poli. sci. department sponsors model UN Friday, March 12, the political science department will present the fourth annual Model United Nations simulation. Nearly 300 students representing 20 high schools throughout western Michigan will be hosted in a re-enactment of the procedures and policies of the UN. According to director Stew Graham the goal of the Model UN is to inform, students of the workings of the UN and also to develop an awareness of the international flavor of interraction between representatives from various countries.
Graham said the event will include two speakers who are directly associated with the UN. Curtis Cutter, deputy director of the office of UN political affairs, will speak before the model Security Council. Jay Long, senior officer in the office of the undersecretary general for political and general assembly affairs, will address the students before the opening session of the general assembly re-enactment. The simulation will begin at 9 a.m. in the DeWitt Cultural Center main theater and will conclude at 4:30 p.m.
Opening senate maila learning experience continued from page 1 having similar experiences. "Dear Sir, I refuse to write your college research paper for you. Try your public library," was unceremoniously replaced with "I hope that the enclosed information is of help to you." "I think you ought to see a shrink" became "thank you for your comments on this matter of mutual concern." Of course, there are rumors of letters sneaking past the proof readers. One Senator from somewhere out west actually answered most of his correspondence with the crusty vernacular congruent to his earthy, cowboy image. His constituents loved it. (I wish I could have worked in his office.) Then again, there are some great letters which get mailed by mistake. "United States Senators" have often been mistyped as "Untied."- One office, which makes a practice of sending letters of condolence, once sent a sympathetic note to a man recently widowed, blissfully oblivious to the fact that he and his little hatchet were the cause of her demise. So, why should anyone do such a ridiculous thing as writing his Senator? After all, he doesn't read the mail, and all youll probably get is a form letter in
reply. What's the use? The value of writing is in the fact that a few of the letters received by a U.S. Senator do come to his attention. Further, letters, other than form letters, to a senator on a given issue are counted. A predominance of letters on one side can have an effect on the way he votes or even thinks about an issue. The fact that your or my letter might make that difference seems to me to be reason enough to write. So when I've got a gripe, I'll write my Senator.
/ to seduce him-and a glow in her eyes that is marvelous.. She plays a very classy broad. The surprising scene stealer of this production is David James. James plays Moonface Martin, Public Enemy Number Thirteen, who is trying to work his way up to about sixth or seventh. Qn this crossing to England, he is posing as a minister, and he doesn't have the clerical vocabulary down pat. This is probably the bestwritten part in the show and James does it full justice. When Crocker apologizes for swearing in front of a man of the cloth, James replies, "Oh, I don't give a damn," with perfect aplomb. He can take whole scenes-like the scene in the brig with Crocker-and make them entirely his own. And when these three-Hoehler, Berry and James-are on stage singing "Friendship," it all clicks into place. Harry Caramonos plays Sir Evelyn Oakley equally weU. This very proper monocled Englishman (Moonface says, "He has a monocle stuck in his throat.") is engaged to Hope Harcourt, the heroine. Caramonos beams away, scribbles down American idioms in a little notebook and is very slow on the romantic uptake. When Hope confesses to Sir Evelyn that she and Billy spent an entire evening on deck in the moonlight, he replies, "Oh, he stuck it out with you? Jolly decent of him." Caramonos has a great "monocle in his throat" and his timing is excellent. Watch, for his confession in the revival scene; it is one of the high points of the show. Bev Kerlikowske plays Hope Harcourt, the girl who is in love with Billy and engaged to Sir Evelyn. This is not a stronglywritten part, and in this produc-

tion, it is not a singing part either-Hope's songs are sung by Hoehler. But Kerlikowske is convincing as the 1930's-type heroine, and she dances well in "It's Delovely." Paula Archer is Bonnie, the feminine counterpart of Moonface. Archer has two songs, and dances and sings as well as any of the other leads-especially in "The Heaven Hop"; here her singing voice is strong and her delivery good. There are minor parts that are also well-played: Paul Shoun does well as Mr. Whitney, and his dancing in "Let's Step Out" makes one wish he had a larger role. Sarah Koeppe does a good job with the role of the overbearing Mrs. Harcourt. Probably the greatest star in the entire production, however, is Rich Rahn's choreography. It is simple and subtle, and he has a large portion of dancing talent to work with in the cast. Rahn shows his versatility in this show-he has choreographed two-people like "You're the Tops," and the movement is smooth and adds much to the song. He has also worked at the other end of the scale in numbers such as "Anything Goes" and "Blow, Gabriel, Blow," and still every movement is synchronized. The tap number in "Anything Goes" is show-stopping/ Carol Yeckel's costumes are colorful and detailed; she shows both a restraint in judgment and an eye for balancing color on stage. There are things working
against this musical, however, and some of them are hard to ignore. One is the prdblem of projection; sometimes this is because the range of the song and the singer do not quite get together, and sometimes it is that the delivery or the dialogue just doesn't come across. Another problem is some inconsistency in directing. In some cases it is amusing, such as Moonface's sudden break into an operatic style in /'Be Like the Bluebird" (although the fact that he drops his accent at the same time is disturbing). In other places, it slows down the show. In "All Through the Night," the insertion of a ballet number after a whole evening of tap is bewildering at the very least. The biggest enemy of Anything Goes is the set. There are many scene changes in this play, and in Hope's production most of them are slow, loud and inefficient. There just seems to be too many flats and canvasses, and no economy in the way they are put together. It is easy to fear for the lives of the people in the brig because it looks like the whole wall is going to fall on top of them. But it all holds together and does it well. You will come away from this production of Anything Goes with more than a snatch of a tune in your head. You will remember a lot of elegant movement, color, and a crew of delightful characters. It is good entertainment, and it is good theater, too.

Slow-starting Dutchmen finish even slower by Doug Paine
The Olivet Comets, utilizing stall tactics and some precise free-throw shooting, defeated the Hope cagers Wednesday night by a score of 61-46. The first half of the game proved .to be an instant cure for insomnia as hope came out in a zone-defense, and Olivet proceeded to freeze the ball The clock stood at the 12:45 mark when Chris Peterson tallied the
game's first points, putting Hope into a 2-0 lead. The Comets did not get on the board until approximately 11 minutes remained in the half. Even when the teams finally got around to playing basketball, turnovers were numerous and scoring scarce, so when the buzzer sounded for intermission, the teams headed for their locker rooms with a 21-21 tie.
Fritas gain third win, WMiAA championship The women's basketball team won its third straight game Tuesday night by beating Aquinas 66-65. Over the weekend Hope won the WMIAA "B division" championship, whomping hapless Kalamazoo 75-35, then trimming Albion 60-47. Calvin won the "A division" edging Adrian in the final 60-56. . The championship game against Albion was much closer than the score. The Fritas trailed the pressing Britons at halftime 35-28, and trailed much of the second half. With the Fritas behind 43-41 midway through the second half, Hope changed gears to win going away. Tuesday night's game with Aquinas was neck and neck all the way, with a dramatic finish. With 1:50 to go, Hope trailed 63-58. After a bucket and a freethrow brought Hope within two, Jan Beulow hit a one clutch shot and another one to tie the score with 1:00 to go. After Aquinas made it 65-63, Jean Lambert hit one freethrow, and Hope stole the ball, ending up with an inbounds play under their hoop with :03 left. Sue Dirkse hit clutch perfor-
Olivet canned the first basket of the second half and was never behind thereafter, though the Dutchmen managed to tie the Comets on several occasions in the early going. Olivet gradually increased its lead to four, six, then eight points. • Once Hope fell behind by that many points, they had to foul in an attempt tocatch up, and that proved to be the Dutchmen's undoing. Olivet sank free throw after free throw to gradually pull away from Hojte and bring the final score to a 61-46 count.
For the game. Olivet hit 25 out of 28 free throws. The Comets also committed 25 turnovers, c5ne less than the Dutchmen. Olivet had a balanced scoring attack, with three men hitting in doublefigures, while Hope was led by Chris Peterson with 12 points And Dan Van Pemis with 10.
PREdNANCY A PROBLEM...? Last Saturday afternoon, the Dutchmen traveled to Adrian, where the Bulldogs proved to be ungracious hosts, beating Hope
mer Beulow for a layup to win the game. The Fritas, who are now 5-6, played Saginaw Valley in a rematch at home yesterday, and have only the state tournament at WMU March 4-6 left on their schedule.
Steers wins 1-on-1 tourney In the Intramural One-on-One Tournament held at half-time of the Olivet basketball game Wednesday, Paul Steers defeated Gordy Alderink 15-11 in an exciting matchup. Steers lead 11-4 at one point but Alderink ripped off seven baskets in a row to knot the score 11-all. Steers then assumed control for good, and dropped in the final four buckets for the win. A reminder for those thinking about the Intramural Wrestling Tournament: the deadline for entry is today at five. Whether or not the tournament is held will depend on student interest, so sign up today.
