English Class Makes Movie By George Arwady " E d u c a t i o n , by its o r i g i n a l definition, is a n e n l a r g i n g , a n ena b l i n g experience." So said Dr. J o a n Mueller, w h o s e s o p h o m o r e h o n o r s World Literature class is a t t e m p t i n g to c o m e a little closer to that o r i g i n a l definition by e m b a r k i n g on a n experiment in education designed to shift e m p h a s i s f r o m teacher to student in o r d e r to develop a c a p a c ity in the student to work a n d think creatively a n d independently. The class is m a k i n g a m o v i e about naturalism. T H E MOVIE COMES f r o m a n idea of Dr. Mueller, associate professor of English, who p r o v i d e s the g u i d a n c e for the class. By the use of the visual arts she hopes to d e v e l o p a technique which will " i n v o l v e the student with the m a t e r i a l s of cultural history in the m o s t direct w a y s possible, p u t t i n g him inside a n intellectual historical p r o b l e m . " Dr. Mueller recently h a s received a $ 3 , 0 0 0 g r a n t f r o m the Great L a k e s College Association to p u r sue her experiment in a " l a b o r a tory a p p r o a c h to l e a r n i n g in the h u m a n i t i e s " next year. The class h a s b e e n c n a r g e d with the responsibility for p r o d u c i n g a " d o c u m e n t a r y f i l m " which reflects the b a s i c p r o b l e m a n d answer to a d i l e m m a in cultural history.

T H E 14 S T U D E N T S in Dr. Mueller's class h a v e g o n e t h r o u g h a n i n t r o d u c t o r y p e r i o d in which they chose the topic a n d developed a s t r a t e g y for a t t a c k i n g it together a n d singly. The class divided up a n d each student emb a r k e d on i n d i v i d u a l r e s e a r c h in a selected a r e a of the g e n e r a l topic, g a t h e r i n g d a t a to contribute to a general u n d e r s t a n d i n g of that p a r t i c u l a r a r e a b y the entire class and collecting materials ( p o e t r y , musical selections, art prints, etc.) which could be a c t u a l l y used in the film. This w o r k is n e a r i n g completion a n d actual filming s h o u l d begin by the end of the m o n t h . The class as a g r o u p will evaluate, select, a r r a n g e , film and edit its " s o l u t i o n " to the p r o b l e m of n a t u r a l i s m . T H E S T U D E N T S IN the class a r e in a different s i t u a t i o n t h a n in their other c o u r s e s at Hope; they h a v e n o textbook, daily reading a s s i g n m e n t s , lectures, tests, quizzes, or p a p e r s . They w o r k independently and return to a classr o o m discussion with their d a t a . Dr. Mueller p r o v i d e s s u g g e s t i o n s for each p e r s o n ' s work, g u i d e s the class discussion and debate, a n d p r o v i d e s the class with the benefit of a b r o a d b a c k g r o u n d in literature. The m e m b e r s of the class f o u n d that they were not w o r k i n g u p to their potential in

Without the n o r m a l rigidly directed p r o g r a m , they h a d difficulty b r i n g i n g themselves to w o r k . C L A S S D I S C U S S I O N S often turned to this p r o b l e m . The members of the class agreed that the p r o b l e m was they were so accustomed to being " s p o o n - f e d " in their courses that they were unp r e p a r e d a n d unconditioned for independent w o r k . T r a d i t i o n a l education had s e e m i n g l y failed to p r e p a r e them for a n u n o r t h o d o x situation. Both the class a n d Dr. Mueller found this a " f r i g h t e n i n g " possibility.

Readers Speak Out PRCSS

Dear Editor. Amidst the protesting of v a r i o u s students in this college, there a r e m a n y students w h o feel that chapel is a v e r y essential p a r t of H o p e College. H o p e was f o u n d e d a n d is now existing to fulfill the need for spiritual a s well a s intellectual g r o w t h . We feel chapel c a n offer this fulfillment to students a n d that every student s h o u l d be given a chance. If this choice is left u p to the individual, m o s t students, including ourselves, will find it h a r d to continually t a k e this o p p o r tunity, a n d will therefore miss the c h a n c e to enrich their spiritual life. Editor's note: The a b o v e letter has been signed by 2 4 5 students and w a s submitted to the anchor by Doreen Adolphs and Pam Roden. Misses Adolph and Roden stated that the letter will be available f o r all those w h o wish to sign it at the desks in Phelps and Kollen Halls until Monday noon.

The t r a g e d y of the dispute c o n c e r n i n g c o m p u l s o r y chapel is the a l i e n a t i o n which sometimes o c c u r s between p e r s o n s on different sides of this issue. Much healthy discussion h a s taken place , but m a n y walls between p e r s o n s h a v e a l s o been built up. Here the controversy h a s b e c o m e destructive. I HAVE B E E N u n a b l e to u n d e r s t a n d one feeling which h a s s p r u n g f r o m m u c h of the discussion. The a r g u m e n t r u n s something like this: If you d o n ' t like the comp u l s o r y chapel r e q u i r e m e n t , then g o to another school. T h e implications of such a n a r g u m e n t seem r a t h e r f a r reaching. Does this i m p l y that at a C h r i s t i a n institution, we m u s t all a g r e e on every m e a n s by which the institution is c a r r y i n g out o u r p u r p o s e s ?

Faculty Focus

What Is the Intent of the Intellect? Editor's note: This week's Faculty F o c u s is contributed by Dr. D. Ivan Dykstra, chairman of Hope's philosophy department. Dr. Dykstra graduated from Hope in 1 9 3 5 , earned a Th.B. from Western Theological Seminary in 1938, and received his doctorate from Yale University seven years later. By Dr. I). I v a n Dykstra This is a b o u t the intention of the intellect. Our conception of. that intention has u n d e r g o n e a n imp o r t a n t c h a n g e in recent decades. Whether this c h a n g e is all g a i n or all loss is a little h a r d to s a y . At least by m a k i n g the c h a n g e , we h a v e c o n t r i b u t e d to the rise of new p r o b l e m s . It is not c e r t a i n that o u r competence to c o p e with these c a n keep p a c e with the rate of e m e r g e n c e of the new p r o b l e m s . B U T J U S T W H A T is the intent of the intellect? T h e r e was a time when it could be a c c u r a t e l y described as the intent to achieve " r a t i o n a l u n d e r s t a n d i n g . " This did not a l w a y s t a k e precisely the s a m e f o r m . E v e n in generalized form, it had s o m e cue c h a r a c teristics.

F o r instance, o n e with a rational u n d e r s t a n d i n g did not, at least, react to life s i m p l y impulsively. His was not the reaction of a quick feeling which resulted o n l y in " o p i n i o n s . " This w a s not a n atomistic, piecemeal l o o k i n g at f r a g m e n t s - i n - i s o l a t i o n . This w a s a p r o d u c t built u p steadily b y reflection. It c a m e by virtue of " e x a m i n i n g " life. And for the r a t i o n a l u n d e r s t a n d er, the u n i v e r s e of a n y m a n ' s experience was m a i n l y like the u n i v e r s e of a n o t h e r m a n ' s experience, a n d this u n i v e r s e w a s tidy a n d complete. WITH T H E A D V E N T of sciience, the ideal of a r a t i o n a l und e r s t a n d i n g r e m a i n e d . Hut its substance w a s c h a n g e d . Now it bec a m e the effort to find pattern in the observed b e h a v i o r s of things o r of events or of h u m a n responses. The end of this scientific-rational u n d e r s t a n d i n g was that there might be a relating of m a n to his u n i v e r s e which was intelligent and intelligible. Whatever the precise model of r a t i o n a l u n d e r s t a n d i n g might be, however, it w a s clear that the

Regardless of how one a c t u a l l y feels a b o u t c o m p u l s o r y c h a p e l , free d i a l o g u e o n this issue s h o u l d be possible.

It seems that a n attitude of Christian acceptance of pers o n s should allow free d i a l o g u e to take place. Let's not let issues cut us off f r o m d i a l o g u e with each other. Let's let a spirit of f r e e d o m and o p e n n e s s a n d honesty a n d pers o n a l acceptance p r e v a i l a s we m o v e t h r o u g h this d i a l o g u e .

One, 1 could decline; two, 1 could p r o v i d e o p p o r t u n i t y before b e g i n n i n g the f o r m a l service for students who wished to

leave and still be counted as in attendance; or three, 1 could m a k e it a n o n - w o r s h i p meeting in the f o r m a l sense of the w o r d . IN D I S C U S S I O N with the college p a s t o r the third alternative was selected.

The "feeling t h r e a t e n e d " is not f r o m a n y perspective to be discovered to h a v e been a m i s t a k e n response b e c a u s e it grew out of failure to u n d e r s t a n d the world and o u r place in it; it is discovered to be a n "intelligible" (not " i n t e l l i g e n t " ) r e s p o n s e because it can be accounted for by responses that h a p p e n e d before this one. Out of all this, thus, there should g r o w a r a t i o n a l u n d e r s t a n d i n g of i r r a t i o n a l people, not a rational u n d e r s t a n d i n g of reality such as might m a k e i r r a t i o n a l people a rarity.

The remaining thing to be said is that this new understanding of the role of intellect entails liabilities which are more severe than the acknowledged liabilities of the older understanding. In both we confront the problem of distinguishing the real from thecounterfeit. That m a y be harder in the present conception of the task of the intellect than in the former. An authentic " r e a c t i o n " of a psychic sort is not h a r d to define. It is a reaction that " s i m p l y h a p p e n s , " after which we m a y seek to u n d e r s t a n d this pure d a t u m of i m m e d i a t e experience by m e a n s of scientific t h e o r y a b o u t emotional response. But the m o d e r n clim a t e is so p e r v a d e d by the l a n g u a g e of psychic reaction that we can no l o n g e r be sure that o u r "reactions" are " p u r e reactions."

'If You Don't Like It...'

{By the author of "Rally Round the Flag, Boys!)}, "Dobie Gillis" etc.)

By Gordy Korstange When I was a f r e s h m a n I ate at Slater's a n d disliked it intensely. So 1 w a s told that if 1 didn't like it 1 could leave. It h a s been three y e a r s now since Slater's f o o d h a s passed m y lips. When I w a s a s o p h o m o r e a teacher once told my c l a s s that if we didn't.like c o m p u l s o r y chapel we could desert H o p e College a n d find a m o r e secular, p a g a n college. 1 did not leave. NOW I AM a senior a n d once a g a i n the f a m i l i a r w o r d s , " I f you d o n ' t like it you might a s well l e a v e , " a r e r i n g i n g in m y ears. T h e question of c o u r s e is comp u l s o r y chapel, a n d the w o r d s a r e being s p o k e n in defense of the c o n t i n u a t i o n of this policy When 1 hear this p h r a s e 1 a m at first a n g e r e d a n d then saddened. When a principle or institution is defended in this m a n ner it h a s reached the low point. ( n f o r t u n a t e l y the a r g u m e n t has been used so often at H o p e College that it s o u n d s like a voice f r o m a n old western m o v i e : " T h i s t o w n ' s not big e n o u g h for both of us. Vou better be out at s u n d o w n . " I am not r e a d y to leave this " t o w n " yet, and I d o n ' t like being

told that b e c a u s e I a m a g a i n s t c o m p u l s o r y chapel 1 h a v e been w a s t i n g f o u r y e a r s here. To discuss the merit of chapel is one thing; to sweep the issue aside in one l a r g e g e n e r a l i z a t i o n is another. I N H E R E N T L Y the p h r a s e implies that the object being defended is so integral a p a r t of the college that to be in f a v o r of a c h a n g e is a r e p u d i a t i o n of the entire f r a m e w o r k . Such a black and white distinction places Hope's ideal C h r i s t i a n atmosphere in o n e c o r n e r a n d the wicked outside world in a n o t h e r . Without c o m p u l s o r y chapel, we a r e told, H o p e is prey to the d a n g e r of s e c u l a r i z a t i o n (that dirty word ) which will b r i n g spiritual degeneration. Here one could raise the question of why a C h r i s t i a n should be a f r a i d of f a c i n g c h a p e l without the c o m f o r t of a g u i d a n c e system to fall back u p o n . C o u l d it be possible that the a b o l i s h m e n t of c o m p u l s o r y chapel might be a step t o w a r d a new a w a r e n e s s of the f u n d a m e n t a l s of C h r i s t i a n i t y ? P e r h a p s s o m e of us w h o o p p o s e the chapel system a r e not strictly-

interested in destruction but a r e genuinely t r y i n g to better religious life at H o p e College. ALONG WITH the "get out if you don't like it" defense is the " y o u knew what it was all a b o u t before y o u c a m e " apologetic. However, there is a g r e a t difference between r e a d i n g a b o u t the religious a t m o s p h e r e of Hope a n d actually living in it for a n y length of time. A defense of this n a t u r e implies that there is no d i s c r e p a n c y between the description in the h a n d b o o k and the actual state of religion in action o n c a m p u s . If c o m p u l s o r y chapel does not perform in h a n d b o o k effectiveness is one to s h r u g o n e ' s s h o u l d e r s a n d s a y , "Well, I knew w h a t I was getting i n t o " ? Institutional and ideological defenses of this type o n l y serve to represent H o p e College a s a walled fortress of religious security. Those who uphold compulsory chapel would better recognize opposition a s m e a n i n g f u l and a religious necessity. Then they might be able to give m o r e relevant answers to the question of whether c o m p u l s o r y chapel fulfills the religious g o a l s of this college.

Compuls o r y clothes-washing is one aspect of an institution which the indiv i d u a l h a s no choice a b o u t joining, that is A m e r i c a n society. Yet, I do h e a r people c o m p l a i n a b o u t c o m p u l s o r y chapel, a n aspect of a n institution which the i n d i v i d u a l not o n l y h a d a choice a b o u t choosing but he actually s o u g h t it out. This baffles me. To q u o t e dime store t h e o l o g i a n K.Z. Bacon, " W h a t the heck is w r o n g with y o u r spiritual l i f e ? " Robert Branch What is b e c o m i n g of H o p e College students? The protests of late against compulsory chapel are a l a r m i n g . When you applied to attend Hope, y o u knew that chapel was required two d a y s a week? Is that a s k i n g too much of y o u ? We s h o u l d not r e g a r d chapel as a n impossible task, but r a t h e r a s o u r duty. Consider it a privilege to attend. Don't m a k e excuses a b o u t not getting e n o u g h sleep. God will s u p p l y all y o u r needs. I GET A B O U T f o u r h o u r s of sleep a d a y and still consider il a privilege and p a r t of my o b l i g a t i o n to God to attend chapel. It c a n be done! Isn't it time you started to set that a l a r m clock? If y o u ' d rather sleep, there a r e m a n y other places for you to attend. Let's w o r k together to put H o p e College back o n the top once a g a i n . Mark Volkers On the weekend of April 7, nine students u n d e r the auspices of the Missions Committee of the Student C h u r c h took a trip to the inner city of C h i c a g o . The p u r p o s e of the trip was to see the p r o b l e m s of the lower socio-economic Negro classespecially the y o u t h - a n d to see

what the Church is d o i n g and can do to help these people. The itinerary w a s a s follows: i-riday night, a visit to " T h e D o o r , " a coffee h o u s e s u p p o r t e d by v a r i o u s d e n o m i n a t i o n a l funds, and a talk with the Rev. Ratmeyer, a minister in a lower class apartment house area. S A T U R D A Y , a discussion with the Rev. D u M o n d , who is calling d o o r to d o o r in the high rise Robert T a y l o r h o m e s ; a visit to a precinct police s t a t i o n including a talk with a N e g r o youth police officer; a conference at the P a r k w a y Hull House, a recreation a n d counselling center in the W o o d l a w n a r e a , the stronghold ol the Blackstone R a n g e r s ; and a visit to the skid r o w Chic a g o I'nited Mission. The first question we asked e v e r y o n e was, " W h a t is the problem?" K v e r y o n e agreed that the problem was many-faceted. TWO MAJOR themes kept reoccuring a n d a p p e a r e d to be basic. Kirst, the need of the people is for p r i m a r y r e l a t i o n s h i p s ; they lack security. There is a s t r o n g need to belong, to identify, a n d to be s e c u r e - a need which is presently fulfilled by the g a n g structure. Second, the need of the agencies is for united effort. Most of the p r o b l e m is getting the people to the right help at the right time. The social w o r k e r s h a v e faith in men w o r k i n g together to solve the p r o b l e m s , which reveals their basic o p t i m i s m f r a m e d in realism. The next question we a s k e d was, "What is the C h u r c h d o i n g , a n d what c a n it do to h e l p ? " All agreed that the o r g a n i z e d Church as a whole h a s thus f a r been ineffective in the inner city. IN ADDITION, the secular workers d o not look specifically to the C h u r c h for help in the immediate future. Much of the c h u r c h work in the inner city of C h i c a g o h a s just b e g u n .

The w o r k of the Reverends Du Mond a n d Ratmeyer is a testim o n y to the potentials of the C h u r c h in the inner city as a n essential p a r t of the interdependent effort. Both ministers e m p h a s i z e d that the C h u r c h must become org a n i c - t h e C h u r c h ' s structure and w o r s h i p services s h o u l d fulfill the needs of the people rather than the people fulfil the structure of the C h u r c h . In the inner city, this m e a n s a highly p e r s o n a l , Christ-centered a p p r o a c h . It m e a n s d o o r - t o - d o o r calling, w o r s h i p services in nont r a d i t i o n a l f o r m s , p e r s o n a l counselling, a n d social a n d economic aid. It m e a n s filling a definite spiritual need with the reality a n d practicality of Jesus. WITH T H E S E new insights, m a n y q u e s t i o n s were raised of which the most p r e s s i n g i s , " W h a t c a n we d o ? " After s o m e discussion, we decided that the most imp o r t a n t thing we c a n do is to b r i n g o u r widened perspective h o m e with us. Specifically, s o m e m a y work in C h i c a g o lor a s u m m e r or more; others m a y work in their own h o m e town or H o l l a n d : all can p r a y with g r e a t e r a w a r e n e s s . We h a v e briefly presented o u r reactions to the inner city, but only by a p e r s o n a l visit m a y the p r o b l e m become real. On April 22 there will be a trip to the L'rb a n T r a i n i n g Center, and m o r e trips will follow in the fall.
