"It is important, however, for the action to be centered on a good story; you have to have that first."

In addressing the Hope students at his appearance at the Hope theater Tuesday night, Roddenberry said, "A writer has the ability to make statements known to people." He pointed out in his speech that it was his hope that the dynamic communication networks we now have, especially the mass media, would be a positive influence in our society and bring us closer to more peaceful relations with the rest of the world. "I can foresee a time," Roddenberry said, "when we will venture into space newly hatched from life on this planet. I believe this is our final journey." The evening's -festivities included a bloopers film of humorous mistakes made during the filming of the series and the original pilot film for the show.

Duncan to be guest dancer
DANCE II THE MUSIC—A dance concert will be presented in DeWitt Student Center on April 9 and 10.
Jeff Duncan, founder of New York's Dance Theater Workshop, will be guest artist choreographer and dancer for Dance II, a concert to be presented at the DeWitt Cultural Center on the Hope campus April 9 and 10. When Duncan founded the Dance Theater Workshop (DTW) in 1965 he was already a young artist of vast experience. He had studied dance technique with such artists as Alwin Nikolais, Jose Limon, Anna Sololow, Robert Joeffrey, Merce Cunningham and choreography with Doris Humphrey and Sololow. He met Sololow when he was an assistant to Humphrey and a charter member of the julliard Dance Ensemble. Sololow became a mentor and he performed with her company for 12 years, during which time he did television, Broadway shows, summer stock and began to choreograph. During the last 10 years of
guiding the DTW, Duncan has served many roles-dancer, teacher, choreographer, producer, director and adminstrator. Through his efforts, this organization has been a base providing support and opportunity for numerous dancers and choreographers. Since its founding, DTW has presented 531 different works by 166 different choreographers. This season the DTW became the resident organization at American Theater Laboratory and the program continues to expand with such innovations as the Choreographers Showcase Series. A new DTW offspring is the Jeff Duncan Dance Repertory Company which performed last November. His "Winesburg Portraits" were highly acclaimed for their dance-theater concept and emotional approach to movement. His other work includes extensive teaching in New York and at
many colleges on tour with the DTW company. Five of his dance works have been filmed by the Dance Collection of the Lincoln Center Library for their archives. In 1973 he was awarded a National Endowment for the Arts grant to create an evening of dance-theater. Duncan will work on the Hope campus for one week prior to Dance II. He will perform a solo, Phases of the Oracle, premiered at the American Theater Laboratory in New York City last May. He will also choreograph a contemporary work, Contrasts-Holland Suite, with students in the Hope dance program. Four other choreographers from the college, Maxine de Bruyn, Rich Rahn, Ed Riffel and Sandy Parker, will also present work. The Dance II concert will include modern, jazz, tap, ballet and contemporary selections.
Reniassance, Rabbits Dean names Jellema chairman highlight SAC weekend Repiaces Huttar
"That's what a chairman does: he makes sure the staff does its job, which is teaching," says Associate «Professor of English Dirk Jellema, recently appointed chairman of the English departm e n t He will assume his new responsibilities in August. Jellema explained that the process for selecting the English department's chairman involves a questionnaire distributed by Dean for the Humanities Jacob Nyenhuis. "Each of us on the staff anonymously answers the three
questions, which deal with what qualities we feel a chairman should have, what we feel the English department needs, and a list of staff members eligible for the position," said Jellema. The results of this questionnaire are then copied and distributed to the English department. Later, the dean interviews English staff members, draws up a list of candidates (in this case, four), and then makes the appointment. Dr. Charles Huttar will resign
as department chairman, the position he has held for 5 years, when Jellema takes on the duties in August. Jellema commented that Huttar had served the department "very efficiently" during his term. The chairman's responsibilities involve evaluation of staff members, promotions, pay raises and tenure. "I think that the chairman should also take initiative in suggesting changes, calling literary meetings and encouraging publication," added Jellema.
The Social Activities Committee is planning a different type of entertainment for the Pit and dance this weekend. Friday night, Hope's Music Fraternity will be performing in the Pit. They wiU be playing "Renaissance Sounds" on recorders, harpsichords and lutes. Other baroque music will also be performed. The show begins at 8 p.m. and admission is free. The dance Friday night will feature Rabbits, a rhythm and blues group from Ann Arbor. The dance will be held in the DeWitt
ballroom at 10:00 p.m. and go until 1:00 a.m. Admission is $.50 with Hope I.D. The movie this weekend is Chinatown, called the "most highly acclaimed film of 1974" by Tom Burke of the Rolling Stone. Chinatown stars Jack Nicholson who won an academy award this year for his role in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Next. The movie will be shown in Winants at 7 and 9:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. A special midnight showing wiU be seen on Friday. Admission is $1 with Hope I.D.

Notes from out from under Holland by Rich Williams
As a former student at Hope I have that unique pleasure of being able to address you as one who now "knows", or as the sheepskin says " m y favorite gnosis." How better to explain, then, my recent transformation from undergraduate to graduate siudent, in a year of bicentennial pornography and the presidential frog races, (aw come on hippity-hoppity jump in or jump out!), then to approach my current revelations ynth revivalistic fervor and political mechanismus. Being Americans you will remember that great debate between the Republicans led by the stalwart, and shifty Hamilton who stood for the ruling elite, and Jefferson who led his motly crew of anarchists and French-sympathizers t o pure \ democratic stands, (watch NET T.V.'s Adams Chronicles and you learn this stuff), and the end triumph of the Jeffersonians. What you may not realize is the long and glorious tradition of this stream of thought which has been absent from the American scene for almost a half of a century. » The word anarchist has dropped from our language. Even v during the 'days of rage' and the Chicago riots the general scene was characterized by "anarchy" but nobody was accused of being an anarchist. A commie, a hippie faggot maybe, and heavens, sometimes the invocation of SOCIALIST was used summing up all the alien, degenerative elements that manifest themselves between the two chickens in every pot. Jefferson's work and the orthodizers that followed are more remembered for the codification of law, rightly or
wrongly, rather than his stance against the tyranny of the elite. He believed in the ruling of the 'people' in the full sense of that word One of the few places the Jeffersonian format of democracy took root and is still essential in the fabric of the community is in New England, especially Vermont, where the Town Meeting gathers together the entire city and each person gives full reign to their oratory abilities on all the issues. But New England has always been a hotbed of radicalism Just look at the collection of crazed individuals who took hold of the American conscience right after the revival of the Second Great Awakening in the early to mid 1800s. All of them exhibited tendencies of individualism, creative imaginations, adventuresome spirits, and even took it upon themselves to read other countries' literature, such as German Philosophers and Asian Mystics; absolutely seditionistic. Some of them formed a secret club called the Transcendentalists. There were people like Thoreau who ran around in the woods with only the animals, or a guy named Emerson who had problems with and Oversoul that linked him with the universe. Most of us never come in contact with men like this anymore. It's not part of the educational program on any level except on a peripheral basis like this article. What is ironic is that these people are fundamental to American thought but by today's standards are such that their ideas are labeled naivete or old fashioned and eliminated from our educational repertory digestion. But where does this line of
thought take us today? Is there a platform, a party which represents the American Spirit of the past? Well, maybe you didn't ask that but I'm going to tell you anyway. The Libertarian Party was formed four years ago in Colorado and included participants from right and left wing philosophies. Guy Riggs, a delegate to the recent Libertarian Party convention, opened the meeting the first day with these words, "In your own self-interest you should deny the government the right to deny life and property to any individual. These rights are part of the United States Constitution. Yet we have been led to believe that free men cannot be trusted to defend themselves, be moral, decent, or benevolent. "No man can be your rightful boss without your permission. We must take the place of government as sovereign individuals. Get rid of justice for s o m e . . . complete the noble experiment, and tell government that it can enforce laws, assess the penalties, but it can't call the plays! And I've been yelling since we first commenced it; I'm against it." Those are the key words that characterize, this coalition of American idealism, of intellectuals, flag wavers, ex-radicals, constitutionalists, anarchists, and deserters from the sacrosanct two party system; ask them a question on an issue of government intervention and the Libertarians will tell you, "I'm against it." What they are for is that each person, "has the right to exercise sole dominion over his or her property, liberty and life so long as, the individual does not interfere or harm others." But lets look at a brief outline of their platform

Hope has been awarded a $74,150 grant by the Lilly Endowment, Inc. for faculty development in interdisciplinary teaching, according to President Gordon Van Wylen. The grant will allow the college to give clearer definition to the goals, patterns and procedures of the senior seminar requirement of the curriculum. "Faculty preparation for teaching Senior Seminars make com plex demands," noted Provost David Marker. "Teachers are expected to deal effectively with the goals of liberal education, models and methods for formulating a philosophy of life, human values and education, and with contemporary problems.

Take a stand There seems to be an unhealthy attitude of disinterest on campus. There is little on most peoples minds; few issues which ignite a spark of interest. But there are a number of topics on campus which students should make their concern. Especially during a period of student congress election, students need to be aware of issues facing the campus next year.
comments v
Title IX, because of the complications and confusions it has and will cause, should be a key concern for all of the Hope community. If nothing else, a clear understanding of all its implications is needed. Will every dorm have to be co-ed? Will fraternities lose their houses? Sexual equality challenges traditional standards of equality's relationship with freedom. The HEW guidelike needs to be explored to make sure all of its intended benefits are realized and all of its potential difficulties are resolved. The core curriculum, although an issue for many years, is still alive and causing some problems. Currently, the school seems to be in a bind between feasibility within the core and maintaining a specific program meeting specific goals. Students should decide where they stand on the core. Whether they want it rigid or flexible, they should make their wishes known. In the past four years students seem to have taken whatever is offered to them. It's time they use their opportunity to help develop the policies that will affect their educational future. Grade inflation is a problem that needs to be eradicated as quickly as possible. As
grades get higher and higher, the student, the college and American education all suffer. Students should have a vital interest in the kind of evaluations they receive for their time and money. In a separate category, but equally important to Hope, is the role of tradition on campus. For years, much of Hope's strength has lain in the school's strong traditions and sense of a continuing community. In the past few years that appears to have begun to change. Criticism of the Pull increases every year, this year's Winter Carnival was marred by immature acts of vandalism, homecoming has become an event for alumni rather than students. Hope students need to reassess their attitude toward the school's traditional activities. They need to decide if those activities are worthwhile and if so, they need to show a greater willingness to participate. Without intending to criticize SAC, which does an excellent job, there should be less committee and more spontaneous campus-wide involvement in social activities. Along with a reassessment of traditional activities, a reassessment of tradition values is called for. The character of the Hope student body has changed drastically since the college's inception. Part of that is natural, the times themselves have changed, but part of it represents a real shift in accepted values. Students should make up their minds on what kind of role they believe Hope should play. Hope's relationship to Christianity, social issues and political events needs to be clearly defmc-d and students need to participate in the contribution to that definition. It's clear that active student participation is still a vital necessity to the functioning of a college. One of those areas of participation is in student government. This isn't necessarily a call for all students to run for office, but it is a call for students to make up their minds on the issues that face Hope in the future and to choose and support candidates who will represent their views.
Letters
your comments Being a Student Body officer provides a unique opportunity for involvement. As an officer, you will become a part of the planning and governing structure of the college. Your participation will involve contact with administrators, professors, members of the Board of Trustees and individuals of national distinction. As the national Congressional and Presidential election date approaches, you may be contacted by candidates for-major political posts. (I already have been approached by a senatorial candidate.) As a student and as a potential candidate, you should know that a salary of $100 to $200 is paid to each of the three officers.
Letter policy The anchor welcomes letters from all interested persons. All letters received will be printed, providing space permits and the letter is not judged by the staff to be libelous. No consideration will be given to unsigned letters, but names will be withheld upon request. Letters should be submitted to the anchor office, located in the basement of Graves Hall before 7 p.m. on Wednesday.

Caution: acting can be hazardous to your health Hope is between theater productions, so now is a good time to take a look with Kathy Cornell at the rigors of rehearsal
by Kathy Cornell

]
No one had told me you could get killed in this business. Oh, I'd received warnings of one kind or another from friends, family and others somehow concerned with my emotion,- moral and spiritual well-being: "The devil is on the stage." "Enter the theater and you'll enter a world of amorality." "All those theater people do is party. Your grades will go to hell (not to mention your postmortal destination!)" "It's full of queers and fags. Your sex life will really get screwed (guffaw, guffaw)". "It's just a collection of ego-maniacs. You wanna get that stuck on yourself?" I cheerfully indexed -these pearls of wisdom under "mostly garbage" in my cranial file and galloped merrily on toward the footlights. Someone had forgotten to mention that my psyche was in the least danger. It was my body that was in for a beating. Had someone said, "You'll be injured, maimed and physically abused" I might have at least slowed my gallop to a trot long enough to contemplate the risks. I hate pain. I avoid it at most costs. But no one mentioned pain. Except me, the day after my first scene presentation for acting class. Bandaged, bruised and hobbling, I mentioned pain to anyone who
was willing to listen and to a few ^ w e r e n t—veteran actors who turned away with a knowing smirk or smiled benignly and changed the subject. But undaunted, I sought, like the Ancient Mariner, for listening ears, Sympathetic and callous alike heard my tale of pain and su ™ r * n 9^ ' It began with rehearsal; there occurred the first and most painful blow, with nobody th^re to even appreciate my pain except for John, my partner in the scene, and he was no great comfort. I was playing a drug addict who'd been in and out of mental institutions for ten years. He was playing my 20.year-old son. We were on a bed, struggling for possession of a gun I'd hidden beneath the pillows. Now, I could really sink my teeth into this part of the scene. Using emotional recall, I pictured a rotten kid I knew in second grade who always tried to steal my Bozo-the-clown yo-yo, and substituted him for John. Then I fought like hell to retain possession of my property. Unfortunately, a gun is not like a yo-yo. It has sharp edges and protrusions. One of these dug in and ripped a gash in my hand as John jerked it from my grasp. As I lay there watching my blood ooze and drip down my hand while John soliloquized around the stage, I considered the possibilities for how to proceed from there. 1. I could go home, wash and bandage the wound, and come back and rehearse some more. 2.1
could brilliantly remain "in the moment" and somehow incorporate my bleeding hand into the script with some deft ad-libbing, 3. I could continue as if nothing had happened and hope I wouldn't lose too much blood before we finished the scene. 4. I could faint. Not wanting to waste precious rehearsal time, and being bad at ad-libbing and worse at fainting, I opted for continuing. But John took one look at the growing puddle of blood on the floor, a further look at my blood-covered hand, and he chose option No. 4. This was rather annoying, and it put a complete stop to further rehearsal. That afternoon, we performed the scene for the class. What we
Don't stop for Next Stop The following is written by Robert Eckert. He reviews Next Stop, Greenwich Village, produced and directed by Paul Mazursky. Next Stop, Greenwich Village is a unique kind of bad movie. Everything about it is good except the ending and that is so ungratifying that it makes the entire film a waste of time. Next Stop is the story of a Jewish college boy who leaves his home in the Bronx for Greenwich Village where he hopes to make it as an actor. His mother is

*The most glaring difference between the anchors of old are the different topics of interest > and emphasis. Ties with the Reformed Church are more obvious than now. Editorial topics were also different than they are now. One 1899 editorial was a lesson in how and when to study. "It used to be a rule that what a student could not get before midnight must be got after, but happily, this medieval notion has given way under the pressure of common sense and instead is substituted as a guide to the student, 'Be healthy first, learned second.' " *An essay praised William McKinley, who was president during the Spanisll-American War, for managing to keep one hand "on the helm of state and the other on the feverish pulse of the nation cautioning the patient to remain quiet." The essay continued that there wasn't anyone who had not heard of America - or the "patriot, statesman. Christian" at her head. *Co-education has traveled a long road to get where it is today. Students calling for longer parietals are continuing a debate that was in full swing in 1899. "Does co-education only mean the privilege of pursuing the same course of study, or sitting in the same lecture room? We believe it means more. In addition to the intellectual advantages a college offers, co-education stands also for the social life of
the students." *Oh, but those Cosmos did start out humble. Peter Braak, class of '99, wrote, "There is no word in the English language so pregnant with meaning as the term cosmopolitan." *"One of the questions that is agitating the students most at present is that of athletics. Shall Hope be allowed to engage in football, baseball and track athletic contests with other colleges?" Jocks didn't always have it made in the shade. *The White Man's Burden-an 1899 article on missions in India stated, "The Indians have been taught the immortality of their souls, their sinful condition, their infinite danger and the way of salvation. What grander results could be achieved than education for those who were kept in illiteracy for centuries and restoring them to an equal with European and American men and women!" *An 1899 editorial suggested opening up the gymnasium and athletics to Hope's women. The Boer War was raging in South Africa in 1899 and the anchor made its position clear. "The anchor fearlessly places itself on the side of the B o e r s . . . It believes that all fair-minded persons should throw all their influence and power in favor of the Boers. They may b e ' conservative... but they are not retrogressive."
hysterical, his father is shadowy, his girlfriend is willing, his friends are insane and he is ecstatic when he lands a part in a Hollywood film. The film's turning points come in the form of an abortion, a suicide and a romantic betrayal. The ingredients are there for an excellent film, but Paul Mazursky, writer and director, misses his chance with a trite ending that is an- insult to the film's real characters and their real problems. Lenny Baker, as Larry Lupinsky, is unglamorous, consequently extremely credible. He's the one you went to high school with who never stood out much but ended up a bigger success than anyone else. Lupinsky is continually struggling with life, but is able to remain an optimist. Baker's Lupinsky has an innocent kind of awareness. He has seen life's absurdities but doesn't intend to let them stop him. His creative drive is symbolized by his more than healthy relationship with Sarah, played by Ellen Greene. She gets pregnant and, to his credit, Lupinsky weathers her decision to have an abortion. All the film's characters are having varying degrees of difficulty in coping with life. Sarah takes the disinterested approach. She has no qualms when telling a lovelost Larry about her affair with a poet or her desire to go to Mexico-not that she engages in either of those activities with any zest. Robert the poet is over-sexed and selfish, Bernstein the homosexual lives in a fantasy world and Lois Smith, as the woman who finally makes good on her threat to commit suicide, bring all of their problems and insanity down to an inescapable and macabre level. Shelly Winters as Larry's mother is obnoxious, but overbearing, overly sentimental moth-

lacked in rehearsal preparedness we made up for in energy and intensity. At one point, I was to run terror-stricken from the room, in an attempt to escape, and John was to catch up with me out in the hall. H^ was not amused. Whether John as my son or John as my fellow actor was annoyed with me I was not sure, but his surliness and roughness were heightened after our little jog outside the theater and when he shoved me back into the room, it was with a forcefulness I didn't expect. I tripped over the stairs and crashed to the floor. That hurt. For days. I arose to discover the cigarette I'd tossed aside earlier in the scene had been burning a hole in the blanket on the bed. A

ers are obnoxious. Larry says of her, "She invented the Oedipus complex." His difficulty in breaking away from her suggests that he was her assistant. Only Larry's father emerges as sane and satisfied. He does it in a tired sort of way, but seems to have found his niche nonetheless. The Greenwich Village setting is presented more like the stereotype and less like it probably was in the fifties. The characters are poets, musicians, philosphers, etc., all of whom are trying to "find themselves." They go to parties, love freely-the classic non-conformist lifestyle. The poverty, failures and drugs are left out. There are no practical problems, only psychological ones. The film has snappy dialogue and fascinating characters but falls apart with a ride-off-into-the-sunset-live-happily-ever-after ending. After lines like "I don't want to live, but I'm afraid to die," the tidy ending is totally unsatisfactory. Next Stop sets you up for an answer to the world's craziness but doesn't deliver. If you must see the movie and want to feel like you got your money's worth, skip the last ten minutes and make up your own ending.
Pinball proceeds aid symphonette As part of the fund-raising drive for the Symphonette's tour in England during May Term, Alvin D.

Dutchmen return from successful spring trip by Jerry Boose
Once again the Dutchmen traveled south to test their unseen talents against already proven strong teams. Coach Jim Bultman returned to Holland flying high with his young team. The Dutch compiled an amazing spring record, winning five of nine games, the most wins ever achieved on a spring trip. It should also be pointed out that this spring tour could have been the toughest ever scheduled. Hope was slated to go against Tennessee State, Georgia Tech, West Georgia and David Lipscomb College, all of which are among the better teams down south. The trip was highlighted on the final day with Hope splitting a doubleheader -against David Lipscomb College. Lipscomb, rated number one in the NAIA, was rocked b y . t h e Dutch in the second game 8-6 with Bill Fobare going the distance. Fobare pitched probably the biggest win of his career thus far. It was the first time the Dutch have beaten Lipscomb in five years. Problems with rain kept the Dutch from fulfilling their 13 game schedule. However, it didn't seem to affect their play as six players returned home batting over .300. Jeff Waterstone led the way hitting .423 followed by Tony Terraciano who clubbed

.400. Dave Watkins slammed .333 along with Jeff Burke. Bill Webster and A1 Watson hit .316 and .308 respectively. Hopeful freshman Terry Lock came close to the golden six obtaining, a .296 average, and was also the only home run hitter down south with a blast against Berry College. On the mound Fobare led the way witlrtwo victories while Paul Stears, Dan Van Pemis and Gordie Alderink earned one apiece. Bill Harrison donated some fine relief work, picking up two saves. Defensively, Hope has seemingly improved over last season's disaster. The Dutch played well away from the plate, making four double plays to their opponents two. An optimistic outlook? Granted the Dutch have returned with fine credentials, but playing MIAA ball in spring weather in Michigan has had drastic consequences on Hope teams that have done well down south in the past. The key lies in the first two weeks of play. The Dutch must win to instill a winning attitude in this young team that will carry them ^through their rigorous schedule. Prediction? The Dutch have three things in their favor: an improved pitching staff, especially
with the performance of Fobare; improved defense and the return of former all-MIAA catcher Terraciano; and the element of surprise, coming from the basement, Hope may find early opponents are taking them lightly. Look for Calvin to defend its MIAA title but with a little luck Hope could revenge our basketball team by taking the championship away from our rival school April 24 at Van Raalte.
