Crown in Eleven

e Tie for Championship By Bob Vanderberg

The Flying Dutchmen of Hope College won their eighth MIAA basketball title in 11 years as they whipped the Albion Britons, 87 - 64, Wednesday night at the Civic Center. Both the Dutch a n d K a l a m a z o o ' s Hornets finished with 1 0 - 2 league m a r k s .

3!

And, to m a k e the finish all the more a p p r o p r i a t e , thefinalbucket was a 15-footer by red-haired senior Jim Schoon, possibly one of the most p o p u l a r players ever to don a Hope uniform.

CHAMPIONSHIP PLAY—Floyd Brady drives for two of his 34 points in Wednesday night's game. His tremendous output was not needed as Hope easily rolled to an 87-64 win over the Albion Britons, which put them in a tie with Kalamazoo for first place in the MIAA standings.

German Scholar Heller Will Speak Next Friday Dr. Frich Heller, professor of G e r m a n at Northwestern Cniversity, will speak to the All-College Assembly in Dimnent Memorial Chapel next F r i d a y m o r n i n g at

9:30 a.m. His lecture will be entitled " Y e a t s and Nietzsche." PROFESSOR HELLER, an internationally known scholar and a u t h o r , is a native of Prague, Czechoslovakia, and a naturalized British citizen. He received degrees in law, philosophy and G e r m a n literature from the Cniversity of P r a g u e a n d a Ph. 1). from C a m b r i d g e University. Previous to his appointment in 1960 at Northwestern University, he has lectured a n d taught in various college and university positions in Europe and America.

DR. ERICH HELLER

C o m m e n t i n g on the address, Dr. Gerhard Megow of the G e r m a n department affirmed that "Dr. Heller should be particularly interesting to our college c o m m u nity since he holds his position in the highest r a n k s of literary criticism due to a unique vision which strikes m a n y c h o r d s suggestive of the tradition from which independent liberal arts colleges like Hope have s p r u n g . "

OTHER SENIORS MAKING their final a p p e a r a n c e s of their college careers were starters Carl Walters and Jim Klein. Walters directed the attack a n d added five points while Klein contributed several interceptions and steals and came up with nine m a r k e r s .

IFC, Pan Hell Decide to Drop All-College Sing In a joint meeting of the Interfraternity Council and the Pan Hellenic B o a r d last T h u r s d a y , the Greek societies voted to cancel the all college sing for this year, according to Tom Hendrickson, president of I.F.C. Discussion of the sing w a s reopened because there seemed to be a general lack of interest in the fraternities a n d the sororities, said .lohn Leenhouts, Cosm o p o l i t a n I.F.C. representative. Wrhile the sing m a y be quite enj o y a b l e to those who sit a n d watch it, it m e a n s little more t h a n one to two h o u r s of hard w o r k each night for two to three weeks for those w h o must participate in it, said Hendrickson.

The S a t u r d a y closing will be changed from 10:15 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Student use of the l i b r a r y on S a t u r d a y evenings was light, and the longer hours on S u n d a y were balanced by the earlier S a t u r d a y closing in an effort to offset increased expenses. THE SUNDAY LIBRARY hours also passed the faculty Mond a y night. Dean of Academic Affairs William S. Mathis said that the Executive Committee's affirmative decision was not sought in an effort "to pre-empt faculty responsibility." " T h i s was not the spirit of the Committee's decision," he said. Rather, "there was a time fact o r , " Dean Mathis said, in bringing the p r o p o s a l to the B o a r d ' s Executive Committee before the faculty voted on ii. He reported that the motion passed in the faculty meeting with little discussion. Pending the negotiation of fin a n c i n g a r r a n g e m e n t s , the Committee a o o r o v e d the construction of a new d o r m i t o r y north of a n d adjacent to Gilmore Hall. Clarence Handlogten, Director of Business Affairs, a n n o u n c e d that the new d o r m will be m a d e possible t h r o u g h a g r a n t from the Central Reformed Church of G r a n d Rapids.

BUT, AS U S U A L , thespotlight was stolen by MIAA scoring c h a m p i o n , Floyd Brady. Thejunior jumping-jack f o r w a r d poured t h r o u g h 34 points, tying his previous career-high total. In addition, Floyd pulled down m a n y rebounds, helping the Dutch to a 46 - 26 a d v a n t a g e in that department. B r a d y ' s 34-point p e r f o r m a n c e g a v e him a s e a s o n ' s total of 5 3 3 tallies, including 311 against MIAA competition. The Chicagoa n ' s league scoring a v e r a g e was a robust 25.9 points per game. T H E FINAL 23-POINT m a r gin of victory does not indicate

how close the contest was for the first 20 minutes. Actually, the Albion s q u a d threw a great scare into the crowd as they pulled out to an early lead, largely on the fine outside s h o o t i n g of sophomore g u a r d Fd Stephens. With the Britons leading 8 - 5. an Albion p l a y e r picked off a Hope pass and went in tor the lay-up. As the ball rose t o w a r d t h e ' r i m , B r a d y leaped high and knocked the ball a w a y , only to have the referee call g o a l tending. This call seemed to bother the Dutch, as Albion increased its lead to a frightening 1 6 - 7 . Determined to g a i n a s h a r e of the league title, the Dutchmen fought back a n d cut the Britons' m a r g i n to 21 - 17 on Walters' 20-footer. A LAY-UP by the " B r u t e " and a tip-in by Lloyd Schout tied the battle 21 - 21 with 8:3JJ left in the half. Hope finally took the lead for g o o d with 3:40 remain(Continued on Page 8)

Senate Resolution:

Organization Budgets Unified By Tom Hildebrandt At its meeting M o n d a y evening, the Student Senate passed a resolution that would put the budgets of m a n y student o r g a n i z a t i o n s on Hope's c a m p u s under a single Student Activities budget under the auspices of the Senate. Under the new plan, all student g r o u p s now receiving money from the college will submit budget requests to a seven-man Senate A p p r o p r i a t i o n s Committee, chaired by the Senate T r e a s u r e r , which will e x a m i n e them and submit a single Student Activities Budget to the Senate and then to the college t r e a s u r e r for a p p r o v a l . THE ACTION, p r o p o s e d by Senator Steve Larkin, w a s taken because " t h e student b o d y has a right to know the financial condition of the several c a m p u s organizations which constitute the c a m p u s life." The g r o u p s enumerated in the motion were Blue Key International Relations Club, Assn. of Women Students, Mortar Board and the Womens Athletic Assn. Excluded from the jurisdiction of the committee are those g r o u p s supervised by the C o m m u n i c a tions B o a r d . Requests f r o m these organizations will be sent to the college treasurer without change and will be cut only if he denies this request. IN T H E E V E N T that the allotment is not sufficient, a g r o u p m a y request s u p p l e m e n t a r y funds f r o m the Senate. The college treasurer h a s final power of ap-

p r o v a l r e g a r d i n g all a p p r o p r i a tions passed by the Senate. Senator Bob Donia inquired as to whether a n y p r o v i s i o n has been m a d e so that a student g r o u p can keep funds it raises itself. As it stands now, such m o n e y goes into the general College budget a n d does not increase the groups assets. He was told that no such step has been taken. There was no further discussion a n d the motion was passed u n a n i m o u s l y . C r a i g Holleman, c h a i r m a n of the constitution revision committee of the Senate, reported that a new constitution will g o before the executive council " p r o b a b l y within a week, a n d might be b r o u g h t to the Senate at the next meeting." HE NOTED T H A T one of the m a j o r c h a n g e s that would be m a d e if this constitution were ratified is that the Secretary a n d T r e a s u r e r of the Senate would be elected at l a r g e instead of by the Senators only. This w a s done because these positions are taking on greater importance, especially the T r e a s u r e r in light of the new budget plan, said Holleman. In his report. President (lene Pearson told the Senate that a b a n k account had been opened in Saigon with the m o n e y raised in the H o p e - H o l l a n d - H a m l e t Drive last April a n d that work had begun on a k i n d e r g a r t e n in the village of Le Loi. The money is being given out only as the immediate need arises, so all $ 6 , 0 0 0 has not been withd r a w n . Wes Michaelson, coordi-

n a t o r of the project, estimated that construction would take six months. IN FOUR WEEKS a statement will be issued as to how much the kindergarten will cost a n d what portion of the funds remain. If possible, a n elementary school and a h y d r a u l i c water p u m p will also be erected with the money. L a r k i n asked the Senate to sponsor a visit to Hope by Paul Phillips, director of H u m a n Relations of G r a n d Rapids, as a followup to the lecture by Lincoln Lynch, associate director of the Congress of Racial Equality, who substituted for Floyd McKissik. He noted that the Committee on Race of the Reformed Church in America had m a d e a v a i l a b l e $ 1 t h o u s a n d for the procurement of such a speaker under the stipulation that such follow-ups would be a r r a n g ed. CLARIFYING his motion, Larkin said that the Senate would merely be s t a n d i n g behind the effort. The funds for the enterprise would come out of the budget of the Student Church. The motion was then passed.

SCSC Blueprint Revised For More Floor Space Dean of Men Robert De Young has reported that the original blueprints for the new Student Cultural-Social Center a r e in the process of revision. The sub-committee chairmen of the center's p l a n n i n g committee have agreed on s o m e changes. For example, the b o o k store will have m o r e floor space in the Center t h a n the o r i g i n a l plans allotted. DEAN DE YOUNG also said that the d i n i n g area a n d kitchen facilities will p r o b a b l y be enlarged. N o n - b o a r d i n g students will be able to obtain m o r e complete meals t h a n are now a v a i l a b l e at the Kletz.

Another c h a n g e is that WTAS will remain in Kollen basement instead of m o v i n g to the center. OTHER C H A N G E S are expect ed. Members of the art department and those concerned with d r a m a t i c s are consulting experts to help determine how their needs can best be filled by the new building. Dean De Young emphasized that it was expected that the original p l a n s would be altered. The architect has received some of the changes; the Dean said the new p l a n s he returns will p r o b a b l y not be final either. Final p l a n s m a y be ready a n d accepted, however, in as little as a month, a c c o r d i n g to the Dean.

SLC Returns Proposal

Senate Budget Plan Questioned The Student Life Committee sent back to the Student Senate for clarification its r e c o m m e n d a t i o n that the budgets of all student o r g a n i z a t i o n s receiving college funds be united under a single Student Activities budget under the auspices of the Senate. When asked by Jim Klein, chief justice of the Student Court, whether representatives of these o r g a n i z a t i o n s would be involved in the deliberations of the Senate A p p r o p r i a t i o n s Committee, Bob Donia explained that they would, and added, " T h e Senate is merely t r y i n g to democratize the b u d g e t . " JOHN MULDER, who was observing the meeting, pointed out the ambiguity in section 111 of the p r o p o s a l , which deals with cutting the budget if the College Treasurer's office denies the revenue for the total budget. The motion therefore was referred back to the Senate for investigation of this provision. The committee had received a communication from Gloria L a n g s t r a a t , secretary of the Communications Board, a s k i n g whe-

ther the committee h a d any complaints concerning the a n c h o r . Mr. Robert Cecil responded, "1 think the a n c h o r has been great this year. Our skins h a v e been rather thin." CHAIRMAN A R T H U R lentz said, "We must distinguish fact f r o m fiction, a n c h o r from ranc h o r . " He added that he h a s been disturbed by " h y p e r - c r i t i c i s m " of the a n c h o r . Zoe M u r r a y , also a m e m b e r of the C o m m u n i c a t i o n s B o a r d , observed, " S o m e s a y it h a s descended to -a gripe sheet, but they don't want it to be a n a d v e r t i s i n g sheet. They seem to s a y it's too critical." It was moved that all criticisms a n d e v a l u a t i o n s of the a n c h o r s h o u l d be submitted in writing to the C o m m u n i c a t i o n s Board a n d that the Student Life Committee itself h a s no specific o r documented criticism of the a n c h o r . This was passed.

ALSO REFERRED to the committee from the Student Senate w a s a r e c o m m e n d a t i o n to initiate a pass-fail system. Mr. Cecil commented, " S o m e faculty members have said it will only work for the g o o d s t u d e n t s . " Opposing this was Dr. .lentz, w h o pointed out that this would have little significance, since the p o o r students have to get quality points," and therefore would not be interested in only receiving a p a s s or fail g r a d e in a course. The r e c o m m e n d a t i o n was passed a n d sent to the E d u c a t i o n a l Policies Committee. One member asked what action had been taken on the p r o p o s a l to increase student representation on the Educational Policies Committee. The Student Life Committee then passed a motion to send a c o m m u n i c a t i o n to the Status Committee i n q u i r i n g about the state of that p r o p o s a l .

QUEEN AFTER DEATH—Ann Slaughter (left) and Carol Massouras rehearse their lines for the Pallette and Mask production of Henri de Montherlant's "Queen After Death." The play will be presented next Thursday, Friday and Saturday in the Little Theater.

Actors, Special Technicians Prepare 'Queen After Death' The Little Theater will present "Queen After Death," a tragedy by the c o n t e m p o r a r y French playwright Henri de Montherlant, next T h u r s d a y , F r i d a y and S a t u r d a y , according to director George Ralph. A final dress rehearsal for an invited faculty audience will be given Wednesday. Assisting Mr. Ralph are two technicians from New York: Miss S a r a h (lifft, costume designer, and Mr. Charles Ard, lighting and set designer. Miss (lifft is on c a m p u s for six weeks, conducting seminars as well as designing costumes. The play itself is late Renaissance, set in Portugal, with special emphasis on the costuming. The tragedy is about a struggle over love between a rebellious prince who loves a commoner, and his father, the king, who wants him to m a r r y royalty. The king, who detests his son, finds out that he has secretly married Ines, the c o m m o n e r , and that she is p r e g n a n t with the prince's child. The king kills Ines, but also dies by an "act of C o d , " thus p r o v i d i n g the d r a m a t i c catharsis. De Montherlant, who writes from a humanistic viewpoint with stress on individual statement, gained a second reputation in the theater after he was already known as a novelist. He is also recognized for his considerable c o m m a n d of language. Reviewers of his works say that he creates with such out-

Organist Wilson Awarded First Sinfonia Prize The Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia Fraternity, lota Omega Chapter of Hope College has awarded its first a n n u a l Sinfonia Scholarship to Bill Wilson, a s o p h o m o r e o r g a n student. This scholarship is to cover the cost of one semester's applied music lessons. It is a w a r d e d to the s o p h o m o r e most deserving of the a w a r d in the eyes of the music faculty. Wilson is studying o r g a n under Mr. .lames Tallis. He plays the o r g a n each week at the First Presbyterian Church of Allegan.

s t a n d i n g technical ability that it "seems strangely a r r o g a n t or perverse" in its blended exaltation and cynicism. Mr. Ard is on c a m p u s for the last two weeks of rehearsal. He has attended the University of Pennsylvania School of Architecture and the Museum College of Art. He has studied with William and .lean Kckhert, a well-known B r o a d w a y designing team. In New York he usually is an assistant to union designers at offB r o a d w a y theaters.. Miss (iifft h a s a B.F.A. from Cornell, has worked on the staff there as costume designer and has worked for the Brooks Costume Company. Leading roles of the20-member cast are being played by Al.Jones, Ann Slaughter, Denny Jones, Robert Stewart, Carol M a s o u r a s a n d Madeline Slovenz.

The $ 3 7 5 , 0 0 0 which Hope was granted by the Alfred P. Sloan F o u n d a t i o n will begin benefiting the College this spring as the first of five yearly $75,000 installments will be received. T H E AIM of the foundation's grant is to seek to initiate prog r a m s at liberal arts schools which will improve science curricula and faculty. At Hope the grant will be used for the development of interdisciplinary study in science and mathematics. Since the original proposal of the College asked for a g r a n t of $ 4 5 0 , 0 0 0 , it has been necessary to r e v a m p the original p r o g r a m in the light of the actual donation. A faculty committee headed by Dr. X o r m a n Norton of the biology department is involved with this problem at the present time. Meanwhile, the first funds received by the school will be utilized for an updating and expansion of scientific resources available in Van Zoeren Library. The funds will also go for faculty expansion, according to Dr. Norton.

DR. NORTON SAID that the plans call for the addition to the faculty of a chemical physicist, a molecular biologist, a bio-physicist and four mathematicians. The interdisciplinary p r o g r a m is divided into three parts. One is designed for entering science m a j o r s , another part aims at developing superior science teachers for the secondary schools and the third portion attempts to equip non-science m a j o r s with a basicunderstanding of scientific method and knowledge. THE MAJOR PART of the prog r a m is involved with a new series of courses to be offered to selected students.

Women Demand Organizational and Regulation Changes From AWS A g r o u p of Hope women met Wednesday night to discuss final alterations on a proposal of organizational and r e g u l a t i o n changes to be presented to A.W.S. Containing the results of committees formed at the introductory meeting last Wednesday, the 12 p a g e p r o p o s a l drew m a n y commendations as well as suggestions for improvement. T H E TWO SECTIONS of the p r o p o s a l deal with the organizational aspects of A.W.S. and the specific regulations subject to change. A complete revision of the h a n d b o o k , direct nomination and election of A.W.S. representatives, and foreknowledge of A.W.S. planned policy changes are requested. Suggested rule modifications cover the a r e a s of eating off campus, hours, d o r m decrees, smok-

ing, dress and permissions. Extending the off-campus eating privilege to junior women is recommended. It is stated that men " m a y save a possible $1,000 while at the College which the coed is forced to p a y . " Hours would be changed to 1 a.m. on Friday and Saturdaynights for upper-classmen ana 12:30 a.m. for freshmen. This would eliminate the problem involved with constant late pers for fraternity parties, sororities and other campus events. Also, the lengthened hours would allow for traveling time to off-campus activities. FRESHMEN CALLING hours would be changed to the same hours as upperclassmen, and freshmen lights-out first semester would be changed to 11:30 p.m. Propositions concerning dorm

Black Power:

Courage to Break Prejudice "Black Americans have been appealing to men's hearts too l o n g , " said Lincoln Lynch, Assistant Director of CORE, as he spoke in Dimnent Chapel last Tu e s d a y evening. He declared "It's now time to appeal to pocketbooks and ballot-boxes." This is Black Power. "And Black Power is people black people with courage, the c o u r a g e to b r e a k the chains of prejudice" by seizing and using the economic a n d political power a v a i l a b l e to them. Mr. Lynch decried the " m o r al b a n c r u p t c y " of our nation's "white power structure." He said that p r o g r e s s in the field of human rights is impossible as long as we continue to wage a " c r i m i n a l " war against a " p o o r , non-white people." "Everything about this war is racist," he said. "America has become a vulture seeking to fatten itself on the poor non-white peoples of the world, while her black sons are dying for a democracy a b r o a d which they cannot enjoy at home." Black Americans are no longer willing to "suffer for righteousness' s a k e , " said Lynch. They've

begin original investigation during the s o p h o m o r e and junior years. ALL T H E COURSES in this p r o g r a m would be entirely separated from the rest of the college curriculum. Dr. Norton explained that this interdisciplinary p r o g r a m would integrate the f u n d a m e n t a l s of scientific study in such a way that material covered in one course would be used in another, allowing the student to acquire a deeper knowledge at a faster rate. DR, NORTON POINTED out that most recent Nobel laureates are researching in a r e a s that a r e interdisciplinary in n a t u r e - m o l e cular biology, geophysics, biophysics, etc. The entire p r o g r a m will be financed by the Sloan (Irani, a n d none of the regular money in the departmental budgets will be used for the expansion of the departments. The budgets in Uje departments affected by the p r o g r a m will remain unchanged, stated Dr. Norton.

cological genocide" is practiced on the black and Spanish-speaking peoples by the whites, the vast majority of whom are "una w a r e of their own treachery." An "iniquitous draft system" sends the sons of underprivileged families to Asia to fight a wicked war while wealthier boys can escape into college. This war is "financed by those in poverty and misery -- not by those who benefit from it." Blood, intimidation and terror dim the hopes of oppressed Americans. And nothing is offered by the nation's leaders except "hypocritical pronouncements." "Afro-Americans must unite; they have nothing to lose but their chains and there is a bright new world to gain -- a world free of bigotry, free of misguided foreign adventures, full of opportunity," he concluded.

rulings involved everything from allowing fish and turtles as pets and opening the l a u n d r y rooms on Sunday to bringing extra furniture Into the rooms. Recommendations were m a d e for adequate s m o k i n g facilities in the proposed new women's residences plus the inclusion o f s m o k ers in dorms where fire regulations permit; i.e., in Phelps, Durfee, Gilmore and the library. Also, it is proposed that smoking be allowed in d o r m smokers after hours. DRESS RULE variations include being allowed to wear slacks or b e r m u d a s anywhere except in class or administrative buildings and dining facilities at any time. Slacks would be allowed in the library after 4 p.m. F r i d a y night dress-up would be abolished. F r i d a y ' s dress has been more formal because in the college's early years the faculty ate with the students each F r i d a y evening. This practice has ceased; the rule has not. Permission changes eliminate the need for letters of invitation and permission from hostess or parents except for girls with restricted permission. A suggestion was m a d e to hold a p o p u l a r referendum vote for all girls on the entire proposal. This suggestion will be taken to A.W.S. and voted on. BARB TIMMER remarked that "such a vote would only be worthwhile if the questions were not limited to m o r a l judgments. It is not whether wearing slacks is morally right or wrong, but rather whether you would be willing to allow everyone to have the freedom to wear slacks if they so wished," she said. "Such a vote depends on whether you feel that increased responsibility leads to maturity. Our g r o u p is based on an affirmative reply to this basic question." J a n Sebens noted that Mrs. Isla Van Eenenaam, Dean of Women, is "behind the g r o u p all the way as long as it remains o r g a n i z e d . "

On the Social Life

T

H E R E HAS C O M E a time at H o p e College when we must be realistic. We must face the fact that there are a n u m b e r of things which this College can be expected to offer a n d which it must offer, and we must realize that to expect more is to ask H o p e College to be something which it is not. T o say that this College ought to have a social life which will be recreative and even educational is to state the obvious. W h e n activities no longer fulfill their recreative a n d / o r educational function, they must be abandoned. W e salute the decision of the Pan Hcllenic Board and the Inter-Fraternity Council to cancel the Sing as an example of facing the facts and being realistic. T h e Sing was a b u r d e n ; it is good that it is a lost tradition. However, it is easy to look at the social life of this College critically and ask whether the time-honored activities in which we spend our time are worth anything at all. A n d while we talk, students remain disgruntled and say that there is n o t h i n g to do. T h e r e are some fiction which must be dispelled. First, without minimizing its incalcuable contribution to campus life, a new Student Cultural-Social Center will not solve the problems of social life at Hope. W e are tired of the talk which hails this long-awaited b u i l d i n g as a cure-all for o u r social ills.

S

E C O N D , T H E E N T I R E social structure at H o p e is corrupt. It centers a r o u n d the activities of 12 Greek organizations whose members number approximately half of the student body. It is little wonder that there arc complaints when half of the student body is systematically and structurally separated f r o m the social life of the campus. T h i r d , those w h o complain and those who transfer because H o p e isn't the social whirlpool they want must be realistic. H o p e College is small, and it

is located in a small town. H o l l a n d cannot offer the diversity of entertainment that New York, Chicago, Kalamozoo, or even G r a n d Rapids otters. Similarly, H o p e does not have the money to operate an organized social life available to students at large universities or even larger colleges, l i a student wants this greater diversity and variety, he cannot receive it here, and he ought to realize t h a t very quickly. F o u r t h , the improvement in the quality of the program being offered by the C u l t u r a l Affairs Committee is an example that some are working to guarantee students a social life which will be educational and recreative. A n d yet, attendance remains a problem. We are not saying that all those students who complain about H o p e ' s social life are wrong. T h e evidence for their arguments is too strong to assert that. However, we must repeat that old aphorism about their primary purpose in being here is to receive an education. Likewise, the administration a n d organizations such as the Student Senate must deal with this problem, which is more subtle yet far more pressing t h a n even whether H o p e has a policy regarding the use of Sunday.

P

ERHAPS FIRST SEMESTER rush for freshmen ought to be re-instituted to bring freshmen into the structure of the campus social life. Or perhaps the Greeks could hold open houses in the fall, thus exposing themselves more openly and freely to potential members and providing a social function. Perhaps if class officers took their responsibilities to their entire classes seriously, part of the problem could be alleviated. Students are complaining. T h e i r complaints are in p a r t unrealistic. However, we're tired of all the talk. Someone must do something, and to start, the Senate might set u p a committee to study the situation.

Our Gratitude I

N T H I S W E E K ' S ISSUE appears an article which reports how the $375,()()() grant from the Sloan Foundation will be used by H o p e College. T h i s grant represents one of the largest donations ever received by Hope, and we salute both the F o u n d a t i o n and the men who worked to obtain it. President Calvin A. VanderWerf was honored by being invited to accept the Sloan Foundation's grants to 20 liberal arts colleges across the nation. In his speech, President VanderWerf reiterated the necessity for the kind of science education which small, liberal arts colleges like H o p e are providing. In expressing his gratitude and speaking for the 19 other college presidents, President VanderWerf said, "Todav one of our m a j o r and most distinguished f o u n d a t i o n s has taken a precedent-setting step to bring the scales back into balance through its support of the u n d e r g r a d u a t e science programs in 20 of our nation's liberal arts colleges. Not alone we in the colleges, b u t indeed our nation and our society stand in its debt." We, as students, are also deeply grateful to the Sloan Foundation for its generous support of the study of the sciences at Hope. In higher education today, and particularly at H o p e College, it is becoming painfully evident that the quality of the education we re-

ceive, be it in the sciences or the humanities, cannot be upgraded w i t h o u t the material support of such philanthropic foundations as the one established by Alfred P. Sloan. While our most immediate gratitude must be expressed to the Sloan Foundation, we are also aware of the work and interest which faculty members and administrators, particularly President VanderWerf, expended on this project in order that students may learn, learn more, and learn better. T h e i r interest in preserving the ideal of the liberal arts college, their love of science, and their concern for their students d o indeed make the study of science at H o p e "different" and enviable from without and within.

W

E ARE G R A T E F U L to the Sloan F o u n d a t i o n , b u t we also appreciate the work and devotion which has b r o u g h t this generous gift to Hope. In their emphasis u p o n a rigorous education in the sciences, these men are striving to fulfill the inaugural charge m a d e 100 years ago by Rev. Isaace Wyckoff, D.D., of Albanv, N.Y., to Hope's first president, Dr. Philip Phelps: "We must wing u p to the ethereal realms, and view the suns and worlds, comets, planets, and nebulae, and all the host of heaven." Even more, these men are striving truly to educate.

Crime Solving W A S H I N G T O N - T h e New Orleans TV d r a m a titled " M r . District Attorney" h a s been p l a y i n g nightly on all the news shows. The district attorney of New Orleans, Jim G a r r i s o n , keeps holding news conferences a n n o u n c i n g that he has solved the Kennedy a s s a s s i n a t i o n . Since G a r r i s o n has produced no evidence or i n f o r m a t i o n to back up his news conferences, m a n y publicityh u n g r y district attorneys have been angered by all the space G a r r i s o n is getting. I received a call the other d a y f r o m the district attorney of Total Swamp, La., who told me that he h a d startling information concerning " a n o t h e r crime of the cent u r y , " and I immediately flew out to see him. " W h a t is y o u r startling i n f o r m a t i o n ? " I asked. " I can't reveal it at this time, but I believe everyone is g o i n g to be terribly surprised when 1 d o . " "Wfell, c a n you tell me what kind of crime it w a s ? " ' T D RATHER NOT SAY, until I've m a d e my arrests. If 1 talked about it the people involved might get a w a y . " " C a n ' t y o u give me s o m e clue?" "All I c a n tell you is that I h a v e a witness who will reveal all the details in due time." "Where is this witness?" I asked. " H e ' s dead. The c o r o n e r said he died of n a t u r a l causes, but I insist it was suicide." " B u t what g o o d is the witness if he's dead?" " A h , that's just the point. Why is my witness d e a d ? " " 1 don't follow y o u . " "W r hy did my witness die just at the time 1 was g o i n g to pick him up for questioning?" " 1 really d o n ' t k n o w . " " W o u l d n ' t you s a y it strengthens my case?" " I t might if I knew what y o u r case w a s , " I said. " H a v e you told the FBI what you k n o w ? "

"WHY S H O U L D I T E L L the F B I ? They'll only take the g l o r y a w a y f r o m me. I'm trying to m a k e a n a m e for myself, b o y . " " I can see that. Let me ask you this. Why d o you claim to k n o w s o m e t h i n g n o b o d y else k n o w s a b o u t this startling crime?" " B e c a u s e I've solved the case. It's that s i m p l e . " " B u t if you solved the case, why d o n ' t you m a k e the arrests?" " I don't h a v e the evidence. How can I m a k e arrests if I don't h a v e a n y evidence?" " I t beats me, a n d p r o b a b l y the Supreme Court, t o o . " "But I'm not defeated. The fact I don't h a v e a n y evidence m a k e s me even more certain I've solved the c r i m e . " " How d o you figure t h a t ? " "If you h a v e evidence s o m e s m a r t wise g u y lawyer can d i s p r o v e it. But if you d o n ' t have a n y evidence they can't lay a glove on y o u . " " D o n ' t you think it's p r e m a t u r e to m a k e these startling revelations?" " I should say not. Some of the leading b u s i n e s s m e n in this town are giving me m o n e y to continue my investigation. It isn't g o i n g to be easy because 1 m a y have to go out on a lecture tour. Did you want to take my picture?" " I ' d like to very much. Are you wearing TV m a k e - u p ? " "Of course. You never c a n tell when CBS, ABC or N B C is g o i n g to show u p , " he replied. "WHAT YOU'VE TOLD me is dynamite. I only hope y o u ' r e as successful in prosecuting the case as y o u ' v e been in solving it."

a d v i s o r who cauld use them as a basis for his counseling in addition to a n s w e r i n g a n y questions the student might raise. This would, of course, entail a s s i g n i n g students to a n a d v i s o r a n d notifying themof the n a m e a n d address of their a d v i s o r . Lack of such i n f o r m a t i o n w a s a problem encountered by m a n y of this year's freshmen. the n a m e a n d a d d r e s s of their advisor. Lack of such i n f o r m a tion was a p r o b l e m encountered by m a n y of this y e a r ' s f r e s h m e n . SECOND, IT IS imperative that over and a b o v e the initial g r o u p session, each student be given a n opportunity to discuss his a c a d emic future with the a d v i s o r privately at great e n o u g h length to answer all his questions. After these questions are answered, then the first semesters class schedule can be planned with an eye to the future. This last, however, p r e s u p p o s e s that the a d v i s o r can answer the questions which a r e put to him. 1 have noted a lack in the faculty a d v i s o r ' s ability to answer questions on matters such as course requirements, course content, etc. 1 will be the first to admit that this is not true of m a n y of the faculty a d v i s o r s n o r can all faculty m e m b e r s be expected to be familiar with every course offered by the College. However, it is i m p o r t a n t to the student that the a d v i s o r attempt to be as knowledgeable as possible in this a r e a , a n d in cases when he does not h a v e the a n s w e r .

ONE VERY V A L U A B L E as set to the counseling p r o g r a m is the student a d v i s o r s — p r o v i d i n g these students take the time a n d effort to be of assistance to their advisees. Another a r e a mentioned in the articles was that of g r a d u a t e school guidance. A s e p a r a t e office designated to h a n d l e just graduate school a n d occupational guidance, would m a j e a most adequate solution to the problem. This office would be staffed by a person trained in the field of guidance, a n d would be available to a n y o n e who wished to avail himself of its services. IN T H I S REGARD, it seems to me that the a d m i n i s t r a t i o n h a s added so m a n y new offices of one sort or a n o t h e r of late that one m o r e of the i m p o r t a n c e of this one would not m a k e any difference—except in the service to the student b o d y in this area. Robert A. Claver Reviewing the plight of freshm a n males, whose m e r r y - m a k i n g cost them their grade-point, we recall a tutoring p r o g r a m which Mortar B o a r d initiated first semester. It b e g a n v i g o r o u s l y — staffed by excellent students in all fields — flickered as empty sessions attested to a lack of interest — a n d ended ingloriously. We are s o r r y for the time tutors wasted waiting for students, who incidentally need not wear the b a d g e of failure before q u e r y i n g a tutor (definition: fellow-student eager to help).

WE ARE SORRY for the students w h o complain bitterly that someone did not c o n j u r e or kick them into the world of academia. Somehow we hold a persistent, if now d a m a g e d , belief in the ability of m a n to propel himself to the source of aid. We h a v e withdrawn the tutors f r o m the sessions, but lists a r e posted in each residence with n a m e s of tutors in each field, who can be contacted. They m a y be a r o o m , a hall, or a p h o n e a w a y . They m a y be busy. But m a y we ever dispel the myth that no one is concerned. AT T H E SAME time, m a y we puncture a few myths about Mortar B o a r d . We are a g r o u p of senior women, whose orientation is officially listed as scholarship, leadership and service. We put on movies, the Last-Chance T a l k , and serve in v a r i o u s service capacities. This S a t u r d a y in a Cong r a t u l a t o r y Coffee we are h o n o r ing f r e s h m a n and s o p h o m o r e women who have attained the Dean's List. We are an h o n o r society, whose concern for this c a m p u s is s t r o n g a n d persistent. In the fall we sounded out the needs of this campus, a n d we continually reassess our efforts. Yet if o u r events a n d activities are judged, they m a y be deemed superficial, for we ad^ i t o u r i n a d e q u a c y to heal the sore spots on c a m p u s and enc o u r a g e the intellectually-curious while u p h o l d i n g the fledgling student. We a r e the "society of the conc e r n e d , " and if u s i n g that cliche is disgusting, so m o r e disgusting

is the lack of concern o n c a m p u s to seek out those opportunities for help, to prick the b l a n d skull of c o m p o s u r e . SOMETHING DEEPER is in our spirit which we in Mortar Board S h a r e — that we m a y enc o u r a g e questioning, f a n the interest of students in cultural offerings, a n d a p p l a u d leadership a n d service. We, of Mortar B o a r d , p r o p o s e to m a r r y our efforts to the needs a n d interests of this campus. M o r t a r Board Alcor Chapter According to v a r i o u s emphatic expressions in the a n c h o r last week, it seems evident that a crisis is on this c a m p u s . It seems that this problem lies in the fact that the freshmen men h a v e not lived up to the high expectations of the college a d m i n i s t r a t i o n . Coinciding with this difficulty was a n o b s e r v a t i o n that while the girls have very rigid discipline within the d o r m s a n d achieving academically a b o v e a v e r a g e results, the excessive lack of discipline in Kollen Hall h a s resulted in the exact opposite results for the men. WHAT REMAINS to be seen is a n overall picture of what is present, w h a t is in actuality, a n d

The Story of 6Alfie':

A Study in Self- Satisfaction By George Arwady " I t don't do to get dependent on no one in this life." Such is the creed a n d g u i d i n g s t a n d a r d in the life of Alfie, the subject of the tragi-comic c h a r acter study titled "Alfie" a p p e a r ing this weekend at the H o l l a n d Theater. ALFIE, ON T H E S U R F A C E , is a h a n d s o m e , c h a r m i n g seducer who wends his w a y wittily f r o m one British bed to another. Entirely self-centered, he feels that the world exists solely for his self-satisfaction a n d that he h a s no obligation or responsibility to a n y o n e but himself. Played with great sensitivity by Michael Caine, Alfie is a m a n alienated f r o m h u m a n i t y . He does not know how to give — but only how to take. And take he does, with a n unconsciously cruel inhumanity. To Alfie, e v e r y o n e and everything in the world is an " i t , " placed here solely for his p r i v a t e use. He takes his " b i r d s " a n d then leaves them to fly to another coop. FIRST IN L I N E is Gilda, (Julia Foster), who falls deeply in love with Alfie but finds her lover concerned m o r e with keeping the press in his suit t h a n he is with her. Alfie fathers her child a n d enjoys the idea of being a father. But he doesn't feel love, only a g a i n the s a m e self-satisfaction. He refuses to m a r r y her, a n d when she m a r r i e s a n o t h e r m a n to p r o v i d e her child with a minimum of security, Alfie w a l k s

away — without a tear or even any real concern. THE COCKNEY CASSANOVA then goes on to a series of satisfying t r i u m p h s . Ruby, played b r a s s i l y by Shelley Winters, is a n over-sexed, overweight sexpot w h o p r o v i d e s the audience and Alfie with s o m e r a u c o u s moments. Annie ( J a n e Asher) is a devoted red-haired m a i d e n who dutifully keeps Alfie's flat until he kicks her out because her good cooking is c a u s i n g him to gain weight. The crux of the movie, however, develops out of Alfie's after-tea seduction of Lilly, his p a l ' s plain and p l u m p middle-aged wife. F r o m this situation, one comes to sense exactly how much of a worthless cad Alfie really is. An a b o r t i o n becomes necessary for Lilly, a n d Vivien Merchant's h e a r t r e n d i n g performance, coupled with excellent direction by Lewis Gilbert, magnifies the sordidness a n d s h a m e a n d makes the scene in Alfie's a p a r t m e n t one of the most m o v i n g a n d shocking experiences one will ever have in a movie house. At the close of the scene, one feels total contempt and hatred for Alfie, and all that he represents. FOLLOWING T H E ABORTION scene, Alfie's future takes a rapid roll downhill. Shocked into t a k i n g a look at his life by the off-screen sight of his u n b o r n child, Alfie decides to finally put down s o m e roots a n d considers m a r r y i n g Ruby, the well-heeied and well-used m a t r o n . But Alfie, however, finds himself rejected for

a y o u n g e r stud. Soon Alfie finds that he's lost the m a g i c salt f o r m u l a for catching the birds for his cage. Alfie's c o m m e n t s delivered directly to the audience, which were at first entertaining and witty, soon turn to puzzled questions as he seeks to find out what life is all a b o u t . Alfie's incapacity to love leaves him with his queries unanswered, alone to walk a L o n d o n pier. T H E R E ARE I N C I D E N T S and comments in the movie which m a k e it engagingly entertaining a n d , in places, excruciatingly funny. Mr. Gilbert's trick of h a v i n g Alfie speak directly to the audience, p r o v i d i n g a running comm e n t a r y on his love-making, is truly f u n n y — at least at the beginning. As the plot develops, a n d the sordid character of Alfie's antihero role develops with it, the insolence for h u m a n i t y reflected in the lines builds one's feeling of hatred and contempt for Alfie ever higher. O N E LEAVES the theater with sober thoughts a n d the feeling of h a v i n g been granted an u n u s u a l look into the heartless a n d thoughtless pollution which is the mind of the cocksure Cockney. "Alfie" will seize your attention and hold it f r o m beginning to end. A tremendously m o v i n g experience, aided by excellent acting a n d directing, it leaves you at the close at a highly emotional pitch, with a n overwhelming urge to strike out against anything or a n y b o d y that reminds you of Alfie.

'Medieval Unity a Dream9

Walvoord to Give Piano Peters Speaks of Ecumenism Recital Tuesday Evening By Glenn Looman

" U n i t y in the Medieval Church was merely a pious d r e a m , " stated Dr. Robert Peters, member of Hope's history department, in his second lecture in a series concerned with the " Ecumenical Movement of the Church in Historical Perspective." According to Dr. Peters the evidence which is given to support the theory of actual medieval church unity, that is, unity within the church and between church and state, has been twisted or distorted by historians so that a somewhat confusing and false picture has resulted. IN HIS L E C T U R E Dr. Peters did, however, refer to three sources where the idea of medieval unity arose or where our idea of medieval unity got its start. These sources, Dr. Peters stated, can be seen in the personages of St. Augustine, Pope Leo the Great, and Pope Gregory the Great. It was St. Augustine, said Dr. Peters, who in his work, " T h e City of G o d " formed the bridge between classical and Christian cultures and in doing so dispelled the belief that Christianity was the cause of the fall of Rome. According to Dr. Peters, St. Augustine laid the philosophical basis for the notion of unity in the medieval church and it was he who showed us how the church

Kleinheksel Made New Admissions Counselor Here The Admissions Office has announced the appointment of Mr. Paul A. Kleinheksel to the post of Admissions Counselor. Mr. Roger Rietberg, Director of Admissions, stated that it will be Mr. KJeinheksel's responsibility to meet and interview prospective students when they visit the campus. He will also visit high schools, both in and out-of-state, to talk with students who are interested in attending Hope. Mr. Kleinheksel is a native of Holland and received his A. B. from Hope in 1963. He was awarded a National Science F o u n d a t i o n Institute grant for summer study in mathematics and has done g r a d u a t e study in guidance and counseling at Western Michigan I'niversity.

greatly influenced the political thought of his time and in this sense created a sense of unity. DR. PETERS continued that it was Leo the Great, who served to direct the people in the essential facts of theology and who saw the primacy of Rome as essential. According to Dr. Peters, Leo the Great also saw the need for papal s u p r e m a c y in Rome. It was Leo, said Dr. Peters, who saw authority, uniformity, and antiquity as vital constitutions in papal supremacy. In Gregory the Great, Dr. Peters saw the advent of the culmination of the Pope in Rome as Christ's vicar on earth. This idea of Papal unity, as Dr. Peters saw it, ultimately lead to the m a j o r breech in the medieval church, that being between the East and the West. A( ( ORDING TO Dr. Peters, the patriarch of Constantinople was violently opposed to the idea of the Christian church being headed by one man, especially a m a n so far removed from Constantinople. It was at this time, stated Dr. Peters, that Rome ceased to be the hub of Christianity and the central power was transferred to Constantinople. This occurance, according to Dr. Peters, meant that the bishop of Constantinople became extremely important and as time passed, this allowed the bishop to extend his power. According to Dr. Peters, when Rome eventually joined with the French Empire and C h a r l a m a g n e was crowned as head, Constantinople objected, dividing even further the East and the West. THE POSITION had been reached, stated Dr. Peters, when rupture was self-evident. The final straw was reached, said Dr. Peters, when Foshius, political leader in Constantinople and later patriarch of the church, accused the Roman Church of heresy for believing that the Holy Spirit proceeded from the Father and the Son rather than from the Father alone. On July 16, 1054, Dr. Peters stated, the culmination of the breech between the East and West was reached, when C a r d i n a l Humbert, failing to obtain submission from the Eastern Church officially left the church, therefore denying its legality. While this was occurring, the western church in Rome, under

the P a p a c y of Gregory the VII, was u n d e r g o i n g a number of changes itself, stated Dr. Peters. " T h e essence of Gregory the VH's concept was a concept of the church as a unified Christian community; all with ChrisP in which the authority of the Pope held sway stated Dr. Peters. This, according to Dr. Peters, ultimately led to the idea of the church as being a perfect society, which in turn left the church wide open to the entrance of numerous and somewhat s t r a n g e sects. AS T H E C H U R C H spread further a n d further a p a r t and ultimately the situation arose when there were three Popes, the door, according to Dr. Peters was open for reformation. Dr. Peters' next lecture entitled, "The Ecumenical Reformers," will be presented March 7 at 8 p.m. in Physics-Math 117.

The Hope College department of music will present Charles Walvoord in a senior recital next T u e s d a y at 8:15 p.m. in Dimnent Memorial Chapel. T H E PROGRAM will include the "Prelude a n d Fugue in C Minor" by J o h a n n Sebastian Bach a n d the " S o n a t a in D Minor, Op. 31, No. 2 " by Beethoven. Following intermission, Walvoord will conclude with "Grillen" by Robert Schumann, " Etude in C-Sharp M i n o r " by Frederic Chopin and two preludes by Claude Debussy, " L a fille aux cheveux de lin" a n d " F e u x d'artifice." Walvoord, a student of Dr. Anthony Kooiker, is a chemistry m a j o r and plans to attend Northwestern University School of Medicine following g r a d u a t i o n . He is president of the local chapter of the Blue Key National H o n o r Fraternity.

Questionnaire Issued

Fine Arts Festival Revamped In its F e b r u a r y meeting the Cultural Affairs Committee proposed the replacement of the Fine Arts Festival " f o r one year by a series of interdisciplinary events focused on a topic of b r o a d scope and conducted in the manner of a f o r u m of c o n t r a r y opinion." In order to implement this proposal, the committee has issued a questionnaire to students r e g a r d i n g the Cultural Affairs p r o g r a m as it exists and requesting suggestions for future programs. T H E F I N E ARTS FESTIVAL - which included a four-day series of lectures, films and seminars on " T h e Persistent Vitality of Dutch Culture" in March, 1966, and a series of illustrated lectures on " J a p a n e s e Pine A r t s " in October and N o v e m b e r of 1966 -- has recently come under scrutiny. One faculty committee member explained that at one time the festival was the Hope student's chief source of contact with the art of other cultures, but through the general increase in the Cultural Affairs p r o g r a m , the festival has lost some of the limelight. Criticism has also been leveled at the festival's tendency to concentrate its events in a single period of time, thus b r a n d i n g fine arts as a "once-a-year concern." A m a j o r difficult confronting the committee is the selection of a "topic of b r o a d scope" which lends itself to "interdisciplinary" study and which is pertinent and of interest to the majority of students. Suggested subjects have been presented including one com-

prised of a series of lectures and discussions on the role o f t h e m a r ried female college graduate. Another topic is a comprehensive study of the "Art of the 1 9 3 0 ' s , " the period d u r i n g which artists were subsidized by the federal government under the Works Project Administration. PROBLEMS OF F I N A N C E nave tended to stifle further expansion of the festival. The rise in expenses demanded by lecturers (a prominent critic of the "Art of the 1 9 3 0 ' s " would c h a r g e from $3,500 to $ 4 , 0 0 0 for an h o u r ' s lecture) has been an obstacle in p r o g r a m planning. In order to m a k e use of available facilities. Dr. Paul Fried, who served on the committee d u r i n g the past year, h a s proposed a p r o g r a m for next year which concerns the Eastern E u r o p e a n countries. This seminar, he suggests.

The View From Here

Complex Rhodesian Crises By Kiwala Sim w a n / a The present crisis in Rhodesia b e g a n when Rhodesia unilaterally declared itself independent of Great Britain on N o v e m b e r 11, 1965. Rhodesia's independence f a v o r s the small white minority against the black m a j o r i t y of the country. After N o v e m b e r 11, h e a d s of state h a v e met in L a g o s ( N i g e r i a ) , L o n d o n , New York (at the United N a t i o n s ) , o n b o a r d a ship in the Mediterranean a n d a g a i n in New York and in Salisbury ( R h o d e s i a ) , but so far they h a v e not h a d a n y success. A settlement h a s not been worked out. IMMEDIATELY A F T E R Rhodesia's UDI ( U n i l a t e r a l Declaration of Independence), Britain, at the United Nations, asked the other n a t i o n s to leave the issue to herself a n d Rhodesia to work out. The United N a t i o n s agreed to do that. Then i n . I a n u a r y , 1966 a Conference of C o m m o n w e a l t h Prime Ministers was held in Lag o s in an attempt to find a solution on " f r a t e r n a l " bases, in the f r a m e w o r k of the C o m m o n wealth. The first meeting produced no a p p a r e n t results. Between the first a n d the second C o m m o n w e a l t h Conference there were not m a n y c h a n g e s in the Rhodesian situation. T h e c o m p o s i t i o n of the Conference c h a n g e d considerably, though. One m o n t h after the meeting in L a g o s , N i g e r i a ' s Prime Minister, Sir A b u b a k a r T a f a r B a lewa, w a s a s s a s s i n a t e d in a c o u p that ushered in the present political chaos in Nigeria. While Premier K w a m e N k r u -

m a h of G h a n a was in Peking, on his w a y to H a n o i in a n attempt to mediate in the Vietnam crisis, his g o v e r n m e n t at h o m e fell into the h a n d s of soldiers. Also, Prime Minister Verwoerd of South Africa, Rhodesia's staunchest ally, was assassinated. THE RHODESIAN CRISIS was o v e r s h a d o w e d by all these turbulent developments elsewhere in Africa, but it was still there. As the conflict was d r a w n out longer, hopes for a c o m p r o m i s e settlement rose. Such a settlement seemed to h a v e been achieved when Rhodesia's Premier Smith and Britain's Prime Minister Wilson met a b o a r d a British warship in the Mediterranean, but then to e v e r y b o d y ' s surprise. Smith went back to Rhodesia and denounced his own settlement. Last December, Britain imposed economic sanctions u p o n Rhodesia. This e m b a r g o h a s become very controversial. A prominent British opposition member, Maulding, called the sanctions "the greatest disaster in o u r hist o r y , " w h e r e u p o n Wilson called Maulding " a n apologist and Smith's s p o k e s m a n . " Vorster, the new South African Prime Minis-

I

ter, h a s refused to h o n o r the emb a r g o . The P'oreign Minister of Z a m b i a , Kapwepe, accused Britain of being "hypocritical and racist" in its Rhodesia policy, a n d he was accused by the British of m a k i n g a "hysterical speech." The United Nations Security Council h a s accused the United States of " p r i v a t e l y subverting the s a n c t i o n s , " stating that the American t r a d e with Rhodesia h a s increased since the application of the sanctions. HOW IS T H E S I T U A T I O N inside Rhodesia? On Rhodesia's first National A n n i v e r s a r y , Premier Smith predicted a " w o n d e r f u l e r a " for Rhodesia, while the African chiefs urged him to " s t a n d as firm as a r o c k " in preserving Rhodesia's independence. The African nationalists in Smith's jails were entering the twenty-sixth d a y of their hungerstrike. The whites inside the country are split too: Recently a new g r o u p was formed, composed of people who want to preserve the independence a n d who accuse Smith of secretly negotiating with the British. The Rhodesian struggle is one in which cleverness wins rounds, but not victory.

a n exception. Why? In the past, the head residency has usually been confined to p r e - s e m i n a r y students with a wife a n d several children. During the first two y e a r s of my residency in Kollen, the families g a v e the d o r m a sense of being home. The children g a v e delight to the men and m a n y minutes of fellowship with the head resident were at h a n d . This year is a disappointment. T H E M E N ASSIGNED for this duty are v e r y impersonal, are seld o m in, a n d do not give the home a t m o s p h e r e this d o r m once had. Such impersonalization is never the key for adjustment for the newc o m i n g freshmen. Even now, quite a few of the d o r m residents still d o n ' t k n o w who either of the head residents men are. Rather than a home a w a y from home, one is attending a n institution of sacred higher learning. RAs can better serve their college by serving the wing. They are the service for the residents, not the resident advisors. IT I S N ' T AS g l a m o r o u s a job if it is really applied correctly. It is h a r d work which must be handled b y the right people. The RAs s h o u l d be men who h a v e had their fun a n d are ready to work. Life isn't f u n following g r a d u a t i o n a n d hence the fun should end after two y e a r s of unlimited "freed o m " of responsibility. Men who haven't s h o w n this kind of feeling should not be resident advisors. Discontented Junior Kollen Hall Resident

B r a d y ' s three-point play g a v e the Dutch a 3 5 - 31 edge with three minutes showing on the scoreboard. Van Huis' tip-in and R y p m a ' s charity toss left the home team up 38 - 33 at intermission. Stephens of Albion led all scorers at this point with 15 tallies, while Van Huis netted 13 to pace the Hope offense. B r a d y was also in double figures, picking up eleven. AFTER T H E BRITONS c a m e within one at 38 - 37, baskets by Brady, Van Huis, and R y p m a put the Dutch out a h e a d 44 - 37. Stephens retaliated with two swishers from each corner to m a k e the score 47 - 4 5 with 13:50 to play. Three minutes later, however, after a flurry of scoring by King Floyd, (he Dutch were on their

way, leading 55 - 46. Albion's Bill Breckenfield was the only Briton able to score consistently thereafter, as Hope switched to a tough zone defense. BRADY A N D RYPMA handled the scoring chores for the next six minutes as Hope stretched its lead to 70 - 58. Then, with 4 : 1 0 remaining, Brady completelyfaked out his man, d r o v e in and stuffed the ball t h r o u g h the hoop, bringing (he crowd r o a r i n g to its feet. With Hope leading 78 - 62, Coach De Ve((e (ook ou( his s(ar(ers, each receiving a (remendous s(anding ova(ion. Dave Utzinger and Rick Bruggers picked right up where the r e g u l a r s left off, each swishing t h r o u g h 20-footers. It was I'tzinger, loo, who winged the long p a s s which set up Schoon's g a m e - e n d i n g tally. With the g a m e over and another

JV Loss Ends Season; Overall Record Is 12-5 Coach Glenn Van Wieren's junior varsity cagers closed their season on a disappointing note, losing two of their last three games. The s q u a d ' s final record was a good 12-5. HAMPERED BY T H E LOSS of starting g u a r d Tom Dykstra, sidelined with a n injury, the frosh were beaten by a more experienced Oakland I'niversity team 85-67, Wednesday night. Oakl a n d ' s Carlson scored all of his 18 points in the first half to pace his team to a 45-36 lead at halftime. The visitors continued to pull a w a y as the Hope frosh h a d trouble putting the ball t h r o u g h the basket. Leading scorers for the Dutch were Tom Harmelink and Bob Veeneman, both scoring 12, and Bill Bekkering a n d Ted Zwart, each with 11. Last S a t u r d a y night. Van Wieren's crew took on the Olivet frosh and whipped them 90-73. Led by Dykstra, who p u m p e d in five quick baskets, Hope moved out to a 42-35 a d v a n t a g e at inter-

mission. T H E L A N K Y ZWART tallied twelve points in the second half, to finish with a team-leading total of 15. Not far behind were Randy N y b e r g with 14 and Dyk stra with 13. Mike Smits c a m e off the bench to contribute 13 points to the winning cause. Olivet's Pechota led all scorers with 29. Two weeks ago, the Hope jayvees were beaten, 81-77, by a Grand Valley State s q u a d which earlier had lost to M IAA co-champ K a l a m a z o o by only 16 points. The determined frosh played a fine first half, and led by Z w a r t ' s twelve points, achieved a 38-37 edge at the half time buzzer. ALDRIDGE OF GRAND Valley netted an a m a z i n g 21 of his 27 points in the second half to pace the visitors. F o u r of his teammates also scored in double figures. Z w a r t ' s 15 tallies a g a i n led Hope, but had able s u p p o r t f r o m three other frosh. Veeneman added 14, McLouth netted 13, and Dykstra contributed 12.

c h a m p i o n s h i p to his credit. Coach De Vette was carried off the floor on the shoulders of his players. Co-captain Walters, a r m e d with a pair of scissors, w a s hoisted up to one basket and clipped off the net as a symbol of victory. The other senior starter, Klein, attacked the other net with equal zeal. If y o u ' r e interested in statistics, the Dutchmen shot a fantastic 61 per cent clip from the floor in the second half after a fair 40 per cent in the first half. All in all, Hope was 31 for 63, g o o d for 49 per cent. Albion also shot well, hitting 47 per cent of their attempts. Leading the visitors was Stephens with 20 points a n d Breckenfield with 18.

On Feb. 25, the Flying Dutchmen wrestlers met the Olivet Comets at Olivet. Since the Comets had ranked just a b o v e Hope at the MIAA meet, the Dutchmen had hoped to g a i n their second win of the season. However, the Olivet g r a p p l e r s b a d l y defeated our m a t m e n 33-10. STEVE HARMS, Hope's 123 lb. contender, lost on points to Olivet's lightweight. MIAA champion, Clary Cook, had the day off as Olivet forfeited the 137 lb. class to Hope. Adding the r e m a i n i n g five points to H o p e ' s score was Bud T i m m e r who pinned his m a n in the third period. Bill Cook, a 142 lb. s o p h o m o r e , was pinned in a tightly fought match. F r a n k

Hine a n d T o m B r u g g i n k were also pinned, m a k i n g the score Olivet 3 3 and Hope 10. H o p e ' s match with Olivet m a r k ed the end of the 1966-67 wrestling season. The Dutchmen's disa p p o i n t i n g record of 1-9 was due in p a r t to the lack of interest, lack of p r o p e r facilities and lack of a full time coach. DESPITE THE FACTORS which p l a g u e d the team, the g r a p plers had three noteworthy achievements. Cook, T i m m e r , and Lee Bolt captured first, second, and third places respectively at the MIAA Meet in K a l a m a z o o . In addition, wrestlers H a r m s , Cook and Bruggink have gained precious experience for next y e a r ' s competition.

Olivet Comets Take a 30-Point Slap In Face From Victorious Dutchmen Hope's basketball team really showed its colors in last Saturd a y night's 93-63 m a s s a c r e of the Olivet Comets. For all practical p u r p o s e s , the g a m e was all over as s o o n as Bruce Van Huis won the opening tap and then scored on a play underneath the basket. Van Huis dominated the early s c o r i n g as Hope j u m p e d to a 9-2 lead. DESPITE SCORING by Gordon Lofts, who shouldered the entire Comet offense d u r i n g the first period a n d the s h a r p passing of s o p h o m o r e g u a r d Jerry Allocco, Olivet never even came close. Early in the second period, when Olivet seemed about to m a k e a move, F l o y d ( 1 can leap tall buildings in a single b o u n d ) B r a d y completely destroyed a lay-up attempt to bring the Comets back down to earth. The rest of the g a m e went much the s a m e way. Gary R y p m a passed the ball through impossibly small holes into the h a n d s of his teammates for quick points and d r o v e a r o u n d the shifting but ineffective Comet defense for 1 1 points. Carl Walters, who stopped a three-on-one break, shot a 14 point hole in Olivet's chances of

winning, including three buckets in a row f r o m the top of the key. Jim Klein p l a y e d what is becoming his s t a n d a r d game, throwing his weight a r o u n d for 17 m a r k e r s , including 14 in the first half. A L T H O U G H HOPE did out score Olivet b y 3 0 points, another statistic shows the Dutchmen's complete d o m i n a t i o n of the game. Our b o u n d e r s g r a b b e d 63 while our opponents only pulled down 26. Some of this might be attri-

buted to Olivet's loss of veteran starter. Buzz Luttrell, who ran out of semesters of eligibility. The m a j o r factor in the r e b o u n d i n g success, however, was the improvement of Van Huis, Klein and Brady. Added to this a d v a n t a g e was the o u t s t a n d i n g relief help of Dave I'tzinger, Jim Schoon, Lloyd Schout, J o h n Leenhouts and Rick Bruggers. All (his added up to Hope's easily snuffing out the Comets' glow.

Overcomes Injuries

Capt. Walters Closes Career By Bob V a n d e r b e r g Carl Wallers paused reflectively before answering the question. " I think my greatest thrill was just being able to play this season. 1 really never thought I'd be able to."

"We had a different type of club this year— not as big as we've been in the past. But we h a d great spirit, and everybody w a s really out to win." WALTERS, who is a l s o active as the president of the H o p e chapter of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, had words of p r a i s e for his coach, Russ De Vette.
