Has S L C Approval
Sixth Fraternity Hopes to Be Established A group of 11 Hope men have received the permission of the Student Life Committee to proceed with preparations aimed at the establishment of a sixth social fraternity on the campus, according to the committee's decision at last Tuesday's meeting. If ultimately approved, this fraternity, would be "on the order of and on equal terms with Hope's five existing social fraternities," according to the statement submitted by the group. As such, it would be the first new fraternity on campus since the establishment of the Arcadian Fraternity in 1946. The eleven independents were re-
presented at the SLC meeting by their president, Paul Verduin, and their two - member constitutional committee; Nelson Murphy and Charles Lake. As a justification for an additional fraternity, they pointed out that due to the mushrooming enrollment at Hope, the five-fraternity system was no longer adequate. Out of approximately 250 male freshmen this year, only 111 were invited to join a fraternity. In addition, they felt that denial of the advantages of a fraternity at Hope where "the social atmosphere is rooted in the fraternity - sorority structure of student life would clear-
Fulbright Awarded to Cheryl Richardson for Organ Study Cheryl Richardson, a senior music major at Hope, has been awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to study
under Anton Heiller at the Acaderm of Music in Vienna this year. Mr. Heiller, who is one of the foremost European organists, recommended Miss Richardson for the scholarship after hearing her play when he c a m e to Hope in October. The grant, which is part of the Fulbright - Hays Act for Fine Arts Study and Cultural Exchange, includes tuition, room, bo^rd and travel expenses. Miss Richardson will be taking courses in composition. counterpoint, conHncHno and improvisation. She is interested in older organ music and will study primarily baroque music. The Fullbright Scholarship is awarded to approximately 50 outstanding American s t u d e n t of the arts each year. Miss Richardson plans to continue for her master's degree and teach organ or go into church music.

ly hamper Hope's ideal of developing the whole person." With the approval of the committee, the group will now develop a constitution within the standards set up by the IFC constitution. If this is approved and the SLC gives final approval to the sixth fraternity concept, the nucleus of eleven would hopefully be expanded to 25 by the end of the year through personal invitation to independents. According to Verduin, they would then participate in the regular fall rush. For housing, they would hope to procure a place of their own next year, probably a cottage. Several members of the Admin-
As a candidate, I have felt obligated to r.resent some indication of the type of leadership I envision this office to entail, and thus the above discussion. These are by no means all of my ideas. I will present more of them on Tuesday. If vou have any questions as to my candidacy or platform, please call me.
Other members of the group thus far are: Don Damsteegt, Joe De Kok, Sid Disbrow, Mike Dillbeck, Paul Hartman, John McKenzie and Ernie Wilcox. In other business, the Student Life Committee commended the Arcadian Fraternity for their new pledging program, a copy of which was distributed to each member of the committee. The essential element of this program is the elimination of the "hell night" concept and the institution of various forms of group work and individual projects.

Hope Students Collect Clothing Today and tomorrow Hope students will cooperate with the youth groups of Holland churches in a drive to collect clothing for Madras, India. The acquired clothing will then be sold on April 29 and 30 in the Holland Armory. Tonight students will be in front of Graves Hall from 6 to 10 p.m. to handle contributions from students and town people.
Van derivel, Pearson Give Views By Gene Pearson Prompted by a belief that almost any goal can be accomplished through student government, my candidacy for Student Senate president is based on a desire to achieve several proposals. More publicity should be given student organizations such as the Student Court, now understood by very few students. Non-senate members should also be placed on Student Senate committees. If more people are invoiveH in government, more enthusiasm will result, and more can be accomplished. The Senate should sponsor a benefit for charity. The college could cooperate with the community and the local churches, rent the Civic Center and charge admission. The necessary talent is certainly available, and often unused. The s t u d e n t body would be united, collegecommunity relations f u r t hered, and funds raised. S u c h topics GENE PEARSON as L. S. D., the New Morality, and God is dead should be presented through an organized combination of wellknown speakers, printed materials and planned discussions. A program such as this is basic to a constructive study of these important subjects. A period of time—perhaps a week—set aside for intensive concentration on a specific issue would make it more real to Hope students.
istration have expressed their support for the concept. Chaplain William Hillegonds has given the group his enthusiastic support. Reaction among the student body thus far, however, seems somwhat mixed, ^ v e Courtney, one of the men involved in the proposal, expressed his opinion on this matter. He felt that "at first there will probably be some negative attitudes, but J hope they won't be lasting." He emphasized that the new group would desire to "work with, not against, the established fraternities" and that they would be interested in the same type of "fraternity material."
By Dave Vanderwel The first question a candidate is often asked is, "What is your platform?" I think that this word has come to have some rather negative implications. We have tended to make this appear to be what the candidate expects or hopes to accomplish during his term of office. The Student Senate president is the person who often presents things for the Senate to decide. These should be things which you, the student body, want to be brought to the attention of the Senate. This is why I'm ?oncerned that the lines of communication between you a n d the Senate are so o f t e n broken down. In t a l k i n g with many of you during the past week, I've found that you have many ideas w h i c h are worthy of c o n sideration by the Senate. We n e e d to ?ive you a better means of communicating your ideas to the Senate. The first s t e p s in reb u i 1 d ing the communications between you DAVE VANDERWEL and the Senate are the establishment of regular Senate office hours to give you the chance to talk with the Senate president, and the use of more nonSenate members on student committees, both designed to give you a chance to express your ideas more directly. The continuation and expansion of such programs as the Student Church and the spring trips, along with new programs such as a trip emphasizing the fine arts, would give you the opportunity to become more involved in Hope College. By opening the doors of communication between you and the Senate, and involving you more in the activities of our campus, we will perhaps be able to come closer to the complete education which we seek.
Tomorrow Hope's freshmen and sophomores and the youth groups will canvass the area. According to Gary Gilmore, chairman of the drive, residents wishing to contribute are asked to have their porch lights lit that day. Those who are unable to give at these times may call Durfee Hall (396-7822) between 8:30 a.m. and 10:30 p.m. from April 24 through 27. The sale of the clothing next weekend will be handled by the junior and senior classes. For every $100 sent to Madras, 300 pounds of grain food can be purchased, and
one water pump can be bought, shipped and delivered. The purpose of the drive is to help relieve the famine in Madras The need in India is so great that the World Council of Missions has estimated that 12 million people will die of starvation if India's food import is not doubled. This is the second project undertaken by Hope students this year. The first was the Hope - Holland Hamlet Drive, which contributed $6,SCO toward the building of a health clinic and an elementary school in Le Loi, South Vietnam.
STARVATION—The Miwlons Committee at Hope is working to allevi ate the conditions of starvation and poverty such as this in Madras, India, by collecting clothes and money.

Students to Direct Eight One-Act Plays The Theater Production Class will present eight one-act plays in the Little Theater next Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. There will be no admission charge. Wednesday evening Alan Jones and Donna Leech will perform "The Tiger" by Murray Schisgall. The play, which was described by director Alice French as a mock of the theater of the absurd, concerns a man who feels the world has wronged him. To gain revenge he kidnaps a woman with the intent of sacrificing her in his basement apartment. Also presented Wednesday evening will be "The Bald Soprano," a play by Eugene lonesco directed by Beth Oosting. The production is a hilarious prank in which two English couples, a maid and a fireman bore each other by swapping stories. The two couples are played by Ann de Velder and Mark Menning and Jean Ten Brink and Mark Lohman. Bill Petz is the firechief and Delores Floyd is the maid. "The Valiant" by Hall and Middlemas under the direction of Diane Dykstra will be presented Thursday evening by Sharon Dykstra, Joel Monsma and Tim Truman. Minor characters will be played by Jim Lohman and Tom Coleman. The scene is in a jail in 1927 a half hour before one of its inmates is to be hanged for murder. In the tense 30 minutes several characters attempt to determine the true identity of the alleged killer. "Arie de Capo" by Edna St. Vincent Millay will also be produced Thursday evening, unier the direction of Michael Vogas. The characters will be played by Judy Imsland, Keith Taylor, Hal Huggins, Glenn Pontier and Jed Green. Chris Nagel, Tom Coleman and Glenn Gouwens will perform Tennessee William's "Twenty-seven Wagonloads of Cotton" on Friday
night. Director Rick Rietveld describes the play as "a break into humanity." The wife of the owner of a small cotton farm comes to realize the lack of communication in her marriage only after she has been seduced by Vicarro, a wealthy plantation owner. Also performed Friday will be "Another Way Out," a comedy by Lawrencv Langner directed by Bennice Van Engen. Members of the cast include Laurie Noetzel, Linda Patterson, Bill Coons, Karen Dryfout and Rick Veenstra. In the play an unmarried couple who are living together intend to teach the public that "love can be so perfect that the marriage contract degrades it.' They find, however, that to live a normal life they must submit to marriage so that society will regard them as normal and treat them like decent human beings.
Dr. Muilenhurg:

He feels that we do not know what will happen next. "We cannot make a generalization. We must live by faithfulness to God and by just and righteous acts.

denial" of the concept of an itemized history. The Hebrew thinks concretely of occasions and times because "he thinks historically, eventfully." The "greatest epic given to us by the ancient world is the epic of human destiny found in the Bible.'* The central figure of this narrative is not man but God, who acts out his intentions in human history, he said. "The Biblical understanding of history is more crucial today than ever before," according to Dr. Muilenburg. "The present crisis in Christianity is caused by a crisis in human history." The Judeo-Christian community rests its case on historical revelation. It is not strange then to hear people ask ••Where is God?" or "Why does he not intervene?" Dr. Muilenburg stated. "If men speak of the death of God. at least you can say that
"Your part is the prologue to your future." This is the main theme of the lecture "The Biblical Understanding of Man and History" given on Thursday, April 14, by Dr. James Muilenburg. It was the second Centennial Lecture in a series of five by the Hope College Theologianin-Residence. Dr. Muilenburg spoke of the importance to understand history as a continual stream rather than a series of "brief candles." All our expectations and aspirations are bom in the past and although we "cannot go back to it, the most important word is 'to remember,' " said Dr. Muilenburg. The self is historical: You are known by your history, he stated. This concept of history is well understood by Israel, according to Dr. Muilenburg. "The Old Testament is the world's most eloquent

As Spring Arrives Students
Art Exhibit Opens in Van Zoeren
Move from Books to Beaches By Pat Canffeld Spring — the time when every young man's fancy turns to baseball and track and every young girl's fancy turns to winning the young man away from baseball and track — has arrived. It has come to our campus at last, as proclaimed by the streamers, balloons and banners attached to the trees behind Van Vleck.

Spring: A time of flowers, the little white daisy-like ones that sprout up all over the pine grove and the dandelions that bedeck the small grassy plot in back of the science hall. A time of sunshine, when fair young Hope damsels with towels, pillows, blankets, radios, sunglasses, Coppertone and an occasional book in hand ascend the ladder to the Durfee Roof Spa. And eager young Hope lads scramble up the stairs to the Science Hall roof to witness nature's beauties.

The exhibit, which opened Monday, consists of 32 original drawings and prints, and includes works by Durer, Goya, Toulouse-Lautrec, Roualt, Paul Klee, Max Weber and others. It is on loan from Olivet College which has. according to art department chairman Philip Homes, "one of the best small college collections in the country."
Hope, Western Seminary Help Laugh lin Miss Draft

Dr. Dykstra Preaches Sunday AtCampusChurch Dr. D. Ivan Dykstra, chairman ot the philosophy department at Hope, will preach on "What's So Good About Friday?" when he serves the new Campus Church this Sunday morning. The service, scheduled for 10:45 a.m., will be in Dimnent Memorial Chapel. The worship service, aimed expressly at Hope students, has had fine response to its first five services, according to Chaplain William Hillegonds. A graduate of Hope College, Dr. Dykstra earned his Th.B. at Weste m Seminary and his Ph.D. at Yale School of Divinity.
tossed into Lake Michigan amidst screams and struggling— but not too much struggling.
Mike Laughlin. the first Hope student to be hit by the draft, has successfully avoided it with the help of officials at Hope College, Western Seminary and Congress. As a history major with a B average, Laughlin was reclassified last October for no apparent reason. After four unsuccessful appeals to his local draft board, Laughlin received his draft notice at the end of February. A new barrage of letters from College and Seminary officials was sent to the draft board and to Laughlin's congressman, which resulted in some positive action. The draft board is now under congressional investigation and Laughlin has recently received letters from his congressman and his local draft board assuring him that his draft has been postponed. He was due to be inducted March 15 and received a temporary postponement until the final decision had been made. VMV VV

The local board, it seems, has had a great deal of difficulty in meeting its quota. Despite Laughlin's scholastic standing, his preenrollment at Western Seminary, and his intention (stated before his freshman year) to take a Naval chaplaincy after graduation from seminary, the local board refused his appeals. The rationale of the board seems to have been that he should have graduated last June. Laughlin left school in his sophomore year to work. Laughlin is no longer worried about the draft because he believes that by the time the investigation is concluded, he will be in seminary full time, and therefore unequivocably exempt. He began his studies in the seminary last month, but he is only there part time, continuing part-time at Hope in order to graduate in June. He was married on April 2 to the former Marjorie Wiegman.
Spring: A time when parking tickets are at a minimum because everyone with a car is busy carting kids to and from the beach. Ah. the beach. Very soon after Easter vacation, Hope's campus becomes a desolate no man's land, when everyone, including some stalwart professors, migrates out to Ottawa Beach or Tunnel Park. Caravans of hot, tired students using every mode of transportation available, from VWs and Hondas to bicycles and shoe leather, stream out to the beach seeking an hour or two of fun in the sun. Upon arrival at the beach, the tired and glum students become at once energetic and playful. Interfraternity sand fights develop and girls who would much rather lie drying on the beach, showing off their abbreviated swimsuits, get

Love is rampant in the spring when temperatures rise both outof-doors and within many young hearts. Couples nestle in the Pine Grove on the pretense of studying when actually they are observing the grey squirrels at play. Statistics prove that spring is the time of year when expulsions from school for drinking go down and expulsions from school for panty raids go up.

'And Then He Said...' New York Times: The general brushed off a request by the American Veterans Committee that he be replaced. The committee, in a letter to President Johnson, said General Hershey, had condemned local draft boards using classifications to punish young men for disagreeing with United States foreign policy. ' 4 0f course, that's a matter of opinion," said Hershey, "I deny it. I don't know anything about Vietnam policy." New York Herald Tribune: The government of Rhodesia today tightened the noose around the neck of Sir Humphrey Gibbs by cutting off his telephone and duty-free liquor supply.
New York Times: Mayor Lindsey: "We've got about three or four thousand letters down at City Hall on my tax plan and the mail is running about three or four thousand to one. I've forgotten which way its running. I know that my program is fair because everyone is equally mad at it." From an exchange between Senators Wayne Morse (D., Ore.) and Everett Dirksen (R., 111.) on a proposal to prohibit the serving of alcoholic beverages in the Capitol's public room, as reported in the Congressional Record: Mr. Morse: I do not care how much drinking is done in one's office, but I do not believe we
should desecrate the Capitol or its public rooms, because after all God gave us this temple, and I do not believe that we should proceed to abuse another temple; namely the human body. If one wishes to go go into his private office to drink, it saddens me, but it is all right with me. With so many thousands of school children visiting the Capitol, we should not put on a booze party in the Senate saloon over there in room S-207. . . . Mr. Dirksen: I did not know that God gave up the QapitoL Mr. Morse: No the taxpayers did. And that is the reason the Capitol should be protected and not desecrated with booze.

Death of God - II h
Editor's note: Tliis is the second part of a two-part series by Robert G. Burton on 44A Philosopher Looks at the Death of God." By Robert G. Burton What Is wrong with the new radical theology which proclaims that God is dead? The answer is simple; the new radical theory is not radical enough. The critical perspective from which it rejects most of the content of traditional Christian theology is both egocentric and myopic. The resulting "death of God" theology is the product of self-deception. Theology is literally discourse about God, and one might expect that following God's demise any "new" theology would be restricted to history. But it has become fashionable to use the word "theology" in a looser sense indicating almost any philosophizing which occurs within the religious context, be it primarily theocentric, christocentric, or now even anthropocentric. But can one have an anthropocentric theology and yet avoid selfdeification? And what can one say concerning the role of the historical Jesus in the new theology? It is unfortunate that Christians so often forget that Jesus was a Jew. It was hardly his intention to establish a religion which would be in competition with Judaism; he c a m e not to abolish the law and the prophets but to fulfill them, not to destroy but to reform. Neither Jesus nor the early Christians held that the God of whom they spoke had been unknown in prior times. And any theology which would attach maximum significance to Jesus while all but denying his religious heritage is historically untenable. It is ironic that one of the most serious inadequacies in the new theology results from its failure to be radical enough in its treatment of death. Its indictment of the all-too-prevalent "pie in the sky by and by" doctrines with the charge of irrelevance and irresponsibility is certainly justified. This criticism, however, has been made many times before; it is anything but news. The novelty consists in the contention that God has died and the logical implications which follow from this alleged "event." The first thing to notice is that if the radical theologians can make good their claim to understanding
the death of God as a cultural phenomenon which has manifested itself during the past 100 years, then man in his knowledge of this fact is superior to God. Man is also superior insofar as he survives the death of God. Now what is wrong with this? The trouble with this doctrine is that the death which every man must face no longer entails the fearsome finality which Jesus and his followers have known as the judgment of God. It may be that the "new feeling of optimism" of which the radicals speak, as well as their disposition to cheer rather than mourn God's passing, is partly a reflection of their sense of relief at the thought of being spared the final judgment. But this is irresponsible self-deception. The radical finality of death cannot be avoided. As a philosopher, I believe that a thoroughgoing examination of the phenomenon of death is sufficient to show this. I also believe that there is evidence for the thesis that death is the termination but not the destruction of life. But this is part of the natural theology which 1 can only mention here. What would Jesus, the exemplar of the radicals have to say on this issue? Long before Jesus' day the Jews had come to regard God as a merciful and providential father. God had given his children the freedom and responsibility of deciding what to do with the gift of life. But these conditions which make good possible make evil possible as well. Man chooses death rather than life, and in his choice he calls forth the judgment of God. It is clear that Yahweh is the Lord of All, good and evil, light and darkness, life and death. God is love, but he is also capable of using Assyria to express his anger and fury (Isaiah 10:5ff.). God is the Lord of life, but he chastises his rebellious children visifing them in the form of destruction and death <Hosea 7;llff.). God is merciful, but also just and righteous 'Amos 5:21ff.). We should not forget that Jesus, through whom the notion of the fatherhood of God was transferred from the Hebrew to the West, also contributed to the prophetic tradition of the wrathful Yahweh (Mark 8:38; Matt. 11:20-24). For him, justice and love or judgment and grace are opposite sides of the same theological coin.

No theology which gives privileged status to the "positive" aspects of reality while it neglects or dismisses the "negative" aspect (or vice versa) can be complete or even intelligible. As a matter of fact, it is incorrect to state the issue in a strict " e i t h e r / o r " fashion since it is precisely the negative aspect of God, the final judgment pronounced dispensable by the new radicals, which is required if life is to be saved in the face of death which would otherwise mean ultimate destruction and meaninglessness. For the reasons outlined above 1 conclude, therefore, that the death of God theology is both historically and theoretically deficient.
The program will open with a performance of Scheldt's "Echo," followed by two selections by Bach, "Trio in C Minor" and "Prelude and Fugue in G Minor." Miss Hekman will then play Schumann's "Canon in B Minor," Franck's "Chorale in A Minor," and "Maria durch ein Dorwald ging" in six movements from Kropfreiter's Partita fur Orgel. The program will conclude with a performance of Vierne's "Symphony No. 1, Op. 14, the Finale." Miss Hekman plans to work for her Master's degree in music at Northwestern University. A student of Roger Davis, she has been active in the Chancel Choir and Delta Phi sorority.

Mydans' 'Thomas' Portrays Tension Between Old and New Religion By Jennifer McGilvray " T h o m a s " by Shelly Mydans will undoubtedly turn up among the illustrious few pieces of literature chosen for condensation by the Reader's Digest, for it is written with all the passion and virility of a Rumor Godden. The thesis presented, however, is an interesting one for which Mrs. Mydans in her introduction takes all responsibility, absolving the university specialists with whom she consulted.
the plot and his distaste for women is explained by a youthful vow of chastity. Throughout the book Thomas' reactions to sex are those of a pompous prude. Thomas appears anachronistic chiefly because he is the constant object of the author's psychological suppositions. Other characters are spared psychoanalysis and benefit
During his exile in France, Thomas has a conversion experience in which he discovers that he is odious but God loves him anyway; whereupon he swears to love his fellowman. Whether he succeeds or fails is left to the reader's judgment, for Mrs. Mydans does not bring the subject up again. Nor does the conversion experience have any relevance for the rest of the plot. Instead, the emphasis returns to Henry II's "Old Religion." Broad hints are dropped that Henry has decided it is time for the king to die because the land is desolate, and that Thomas is to be the substitute king. So Henry makes his peace with Thomas who returns to England. Within a year Thomas is slain, leaning against a pillar in the sanctuary of Canterbury Cathedral as Henry's pagan great-grandfather was killed leaning against a tree in the heart of a sacred forest And the desolate land finds life again in the miracles performed by the m a r t y r ' s blood.
The author makes of King Henry II a man possessed by the "Old Religion" â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a pagan cultic faith which occasionally demanded that a king die for his people or find a substitute "king" to die in his place. Of Thomas Becket she makes a stubborn, success-driven man who though a little more than ordinary could hardly be called extraordinary. He has taken it upon himself to defend the Christian Church from a half-pagan, power-lusting king. The portrait of Thomas suffers from too much of the author's motherly concern. He is a man torn between the desire to succeed in everything and the desire to be "liked by everyone." The fashionable possibility of homosexuality is delicately eliminated early in
greatly, but Thomas seems more Victorian than medieval.
JENNIFER McGILVRAY
This idea of cultic sacrifice and tension between old and new religions is probably Mrs. Mydan's thesis in "Thomas." At any rate it is the only thing unique about the book.
Readers Speak Out
Teacher Disappointed With Recent anchor Editorial I was much amused to note that the 1966 edition of the Hope College catalog was the subject of both editorial comment and a letter to the editor in last week's anchor. Admittedly, the first issue following a vacation period is seldom filled with newsworthy happenings, so I assume the above-mentioned items were precipitated by a pressing need to fill space. I am, however, rather disappointed in the content of both the letter and the editorial. The 1966 edition
seemed to me a rather substantial improvement over previous ones I have seen. I am not inferring that the cover design or the significant changes in art department curriculum bear the responsibility for this, although they were in no way negative contributions. Both articles of complaint se m to base their objections on the fact that significant omissions were made in this catalog issue. Apparently there is some misunderstand-
ing here. Admittedly, omissions were made, but I fail to see why they are significant. If compulsory chapel attendance or prohibition of drinking in various degrees were in any way uncommon rules in private colleges, perhaps the omission would be of slightly more importance. Such "rules" are in fact rather typical; a vast majority of church affiliated schools have them, as well as many independent schools. Regardless, the idea that the pur-

pose of a college catalog is to portray a total picture of "campus life" is, at the very least, naive. This is hardly possible, even with the listing of innumerable regulations. Admittedly, the life led by a student within the college community is influential in determining to what extent the student avails bifnself to the educational opportunities the school provides, but this life is controlled much more by the student than by college regulations. Morality, or the lack of it, cannot

be legislated; regulations might only determine the ease with which a student reaches his particular objective. This is equally true of Christianity and/or the spirit of intellectual inquiry. In the section entitled "Nature and Purposes," the college states, "it considers its special task, as a college, to be the development of the intellect." I assume the implication here is that the goal of a Christian college such as Hope is to (Continued on Page 6)

In Vietnam, no ground attacks of significance occurred during the past week. However, U. S. air attacks continued with some coming as close to Hanoi as to hit one of its suburbs. Three U. S. planes were shot down, but all of their crewmen were rescued. On the political scene, Vietnam quieted down considerably. Ky's promise to hold elections within three to five months and its acceptance by Buddhist leader Thich Tri Quang confirmed at least a temporary peace with even the anti-Ky elements in northern South Vietnam giving up its demands for the ouster of the Ky regime. Indonesia remains in the news as its students, 2,000 strong, smashed into Peking's embassy in Jakarta last Friday and then sacked and burned the Chinese consulate on Tuesday. These actions brought a sharp protest from Peking which included a veiled threat of breaking diplomatic relations. The United States has promised to sell Indonesia 50,000 tons of rice worth more than $6.5 million before the May rice harvest. The sale is in response to urgent emergency food requests and is not an aid program. In the Middle East, Iraqi President Abdel Salem Aref was killed when his helicopter was downed by a sandstorm.

Scope Offers Students World Service Jobs Scone, a magazine listing student summer community service opportunities throughout the world is now available on campus. T h j magazine, a publication of the National Student Assn., lists over 125 religious, civic, political and academic groups sponsoring projects in 49 states and dozens of foreign countries. Scope is available in Dean Carey's and Rev. Hilmert's offices. Van Zoeren Library, the Student Senate office and the anchor office. The service projects outlined in Scope are not designed as moneymaking enterprises for students. Many of them pay some or all of the expenses, but a number of them cost something to join. The coit of producing Scope was completely underwritten by the Ford Foundation.
Not that anyone is complaining about winter entertainment. There just wasn't much money for it. Still "An Evening with Zelda" was enjoyable. "The Hoola-Hoop Five' had their moments and no one can claim that the Zeeland Symphony didn't put up a good try. The daily bui etin, water fights and Administrative resignations rounded out a generally fun term. Hope College must march on. even if it does have to pay Kweskin, Britten and Fitzgerald to set the beat. Such a summer session gives the school a new image and fame. We, the four-year crowd, have more serious pursuits than such frivolous entertainments. We have to work hard to get the extra $100 to pay for next year's room and board increase. In view of the winter boredom crisis, however, the following list of persons who might come here for free is proposed. Such arrangements to have money during the regular year might make it possible to make next year's summer session grander than ever. 1. Ian Smith and his All White Jazz. Though this group's brass needs some oiling, only an occasional squeak or sputtering is | heard. A very slick group. Won last year's Faubus Peace Prize. 2. Nikita Krushchev: story-teller.

ommended that Aref consider the demands of the Kurds and not resume the war against them. President de Gaulle ran into some severe criticism from some of his fellow countrymen for his plan to withdraw France from NATO. French socialist leader Guy Mollet accused de Gaulle of undermining world faith in France while in the National Assembly, Maurice Faure, leader of the middle-of-the-road Radical Socialist, said that de Gaulle was aiming at NATO's destruction. British attempts to prohibit oil from getting to Rhodesia have apparently been successful. The Manuela not only was turned away from Beira, Portuguese Mozambique, but was also turned away from Durban, South Africa. She is now sailing for Rotterdam where she will probably be able to sell her cargo. The other tanker, lonna V, is still berthed in Beira but apparently has not piped her oil to Rhodesia, which has ordered an additional 30 per cent increase in oil rationing. The U. S. space center plans to put on a gala production on May 17 when Gemini 9 will be launched. Its astronauts, Thomas Stafford and P^ugene Cernan, will chase and link up with an Agena rocket, will take a spacewalk and will practice maneuvers necessary to rescue an astronaut stranded in space. President Johnson returned from his "extended" 'only a couple of hours) stay in Mexico where he was acclaimed and cheered by admiring Mexicans. The President advocated American unity and progress through the Alliance for Progress.

is especially memorable. 3. Sergeant Shriver and the "Poverty Five": song and dance routine. Now available after their exciting Washington engagement. Their version of "The Red Tape Blues" is moving up on top ten charts. 4. Henry Ford's Safety Show: exhibition. A continually changing show of devices, padding and fast talk about the cars we ride in and bash in. Has been doing the Congressional circuit lately to generally bad reviews. Spotty performance is offset by the boldness of presentation. 5. "The Johnsons:" situation comedy. Traditional home - spun laughs and heart-breaks in a new setting. A good supporting cast of Hamilton and Nugent. 6. Thich Tri Quang; speaker. Over-night sensation. No one knows quite what he is saying but he has a large following in some circles. Could perhaps be presented on a double bill with Humphrey Bogart re-runs. 7. Bobby Baker starring in "The President and I : " new sensational play. Though it answers no questions, this play puts its star through the psychological wringer; an intriguing performance. A financial success, some critics charged it with flagrant violations of taste and judgment. Sure to arouse controversy. The list, though limited, presents some good possibilities. A new world might open for the normal, feebly entertained winter student. That is, if he doesn't decide to work for his B.A. in summer sessions from now on.
'Continued From Page 5) produce educated Christians, not merely Christians. If the college is to be primarily an educational institution, it might well wish to present an academic i m ^ e It is perhaps admirable that a student is drawn to a particular campus for its atmosphere, or lack of it, but this does not alter the basic premise that a student comes to college with the intention of gaining some academic knowledge. A value judgment based to a large extent on the rules and regulations of a particular school is rather questionable. Such things are always a consideration for the prospective student, but hopefully they are secondary to his basic purpose of furthering his education. Students must, of course, be informed of rules and regulations governing their activities within the college community. Traditionally at any of the institutions I have been associated with as a student or teacher, the medium for this information has been the student handbook. The emphasis in the 1966 Hope College catalog is on the academic image of a primarily academic institution. It seems quite correctly so; critics might do well to consider the purpose of their presence in a somewhat broader sense. Philip C.

Among the items on the agenda was the Elections Assembly, which will be held next Thursday at 10:30 a.m. in the chapel. Senate presidential and vice presidential candi-
dates will present their platform speeches at this time. Monday the juniors are holding their class dinner in Phelps and the candidates for senior class president will be presented. At 7 p.m. Monday the freshmen class will have a meeting in the chapel in which the candidates for sophomore class president will be introduced. On Tuesday, the sophomore class will conduct a Social in the Pine Grove, featuring the candidates for junior class president. A prolonged discussion of the problem of cottage representation failed to produce any change.
most of the American College campuses: a grimly and sarcastically smiling, eye-glassed young faculty member decorated with a beard who was going to define for us what the term "Left" means to him and his "New Democratic Left." 1 or a European like me, having fought for almost five decades against the fallacy of socialism, it was even somewhat amusing to read how this doorman for the "apertura a sinistra," how this "opening to the left" is called in Italy, has been using the same vocabulary and the same ideological cliches we had to read and had to argue against half a century ago on our old continent of Europe in Switzerland, Germany and Austria before and after the First World War and in England before and after the Second World War. This "Clellandist" seems to be quite ignorant of how many millions in Europe and Asia behind the Iron curtain had been sent to the graveyards by political consequences of the same ideology he wants to serve us as a "new" dish and which proves to be for any experienced European just a warming up of some archaic dishes from nineteenth century socialism. I could really not imagine any movement being more reactionary and more backward and more able of throwing us in the dark ages than this sort of "new democratic left," and it is almost tiring for me to recollect again all those arguments with which I have attacked it — and most successfully in Switzerland and in other Euro' pean countries I might add. Those ideological cliches seem to have become quite recently rather popular in American campuses. I am, however, rather optimistic that the counter-forces among the students who are defending the common European-American patrimonv of the free West on this side of the Atlantic will not be too frightened by this sort of "new left" and will be able to clarify the smoke screen which the "Clellandists" want to produce on the Hope campus in order 10 "bury us" and send us to the same graveyards of all those millions of innocent victims of these fallacies which were spread out for the first time by ideological Jacobinists like Saint-Simon, Fourrier and Auguste Comte some hundreds of years ago.

Remain Undefeated
in MIAA
Trackmen Defeat Calvin, 84-52 By Graydon Blank Hope's Flying Dutchmen had wings on their feet Wednesday as they journeyed to Calvin's Knollcrest Campus to swamp the Knights 84-52 thereby remaining undefeated in MIAA action. Coach Gordon Brewer had praise for the team effort, and also singled out several boys. He noted the outstanding performance of his distance runner Doug Formsma, who broke the existing mile and twomile records Saturday, and then broke them again in the Calvin meet Wednesday. Formsma ran a 4:24 mile to break his 4:28.2 performance of Saturday, and astounded fans and teammates alike in his 9:51.9 two-mile, which clipped nearly three seconds off his previous best of 9:54.7. Coach Brewer was especially pleased with the performances of Ray Cooper and Steve Reynen. Reynen won the half-mile with a time of 1:59.4 and Cooper played important roles in several events. Hope started its conquest with a first place in the pole vault, with an 11'9" vault by Jerry Poortinga. A third was gained by valient substitute efforts by Chris Buys. Buys also took two first places in the field events, with a 44'1/4" shot put effort, and a throw of 122'H" in the discus. Les Cole came in second in both of these events, and Kent Candelora made it a clean sweep in the shot put by taking a third, the second sweep of the shot put by Hope in two meets. The javelin w a i won by Calvin; however, Doug Nichols threw 167' with a bruised rib which hindered his usual style in the event. Nichols gained a second for his throw, falling only four feet short. In the long jump, John Tysse came through in fine style for the Dutch with a first place jump of 21'4V4". and Bruce Menning cleared 6'1" in the high jump after only one day of practice, to walk away with first in that event. Floyd Brady and a Calvin man both made G'l", but were awarded a tie for second due to the number of previous misses. It looked like things were going to get off to a good start in the running events, but a poor handoff allowed Calvin to win the 440 yd. relay, which was one of Hope's
strong points last year. Formsma, Wayne Meerman and Cal Osterhaven made up for the relay loss with a one, two, three sweep in the mile run, with Formsma breaking his previous record. Calvin's wonder boy, Dave Ver Merris then went to work, and took the 440 yr. dash with an amazing time of 49.7", although pushed by Sid Disbrow's strong second. Hope's strength then showed through, as Cooper won the 100 in 10.2 sec., and Reynen ran his outstanding halfmile, with Gary Peiper finishing in a strong 2:04 for third. Calvin's Holwerda won the 120 high hurdles, with Hope only able to gain a third, but this set the stage for the best race of the afternoon, the 220 yard dash. Ray Cooper amazed, astounded and thrilled the crowd with a 22.6" finish in the event, with Ver Merris clocked in a 22.8" finish, only .2" off the pace set by the lightning-fast Cooper. The hurdles were again placed on the track, and again Holwerda was victorious, this time with a 39.7" in the 330 intermediates, with Jim Pierpont, who ran the event for the first time, taking a second place with a time of 40.8". John Barwis took third, and was pressed hard by Hope hurdler Arlin Ten Kley, who took three seconds off his previous time. But the thrills were not over yet for the Hope fans, as Formsma streaked to his second record-breaking event of the day with a win in the two-mile, followed by teammate Osterhaven in second. Although Meerman fader at the end, and was caught by a Calvin runner, he ran a very fine race. The mile relay was the last event of the day, and the meet was decided, but the spirits were still at fever pitch. The mile relay teams pitted Cooper against Ver Meeris in the anchor leg of the relay. Hope's first three: Disbrow, Reynen and Hultgren gave Cooper a slight lead, and Ray held on to win, but he had to run a 49.1" 440 in order to do so, because Ver Merris, ran a 48.6" trying to catch the speedy Cooper. Coach Brewer mentioned Hope's next big meet at 3:45 p.m. next Wednesday afternoon. Hope will entertain the Albion Britons at Van
Discussion of Euthanasia Will Be Held Tuesday Questions on euthanasia will be answered in a panel discussion by Dr. H. W. Tenpas, a surgeon at Holland Hospital, Dr. Arthur Jentz of the religoin and Bible department and Dr. Lars Granberg, acting vice president of the college. The discussion will take place next Tuesday at 7 p.m. in Graves Auditorium. Euthanasia is the merciful killing of a person to avoid prolonged mental or physical torture to himself or to his family. Literally translated as "fortunate in death," it has not been uncommon in man's history. It was practiced by primitive societies on those thought to be burdens to it. Plato. Socrates and Aristotle considered it a moral action.
Christians today condemn "mercy killing" on both theological and moral grounds. It is now illegal in many nations including the United States, despite euthanasia societies both here and in England, which present euthanasia bills that include safeguards against murder, fraud and undue haste. On what grounds do physicians, social workers and lawyers support it? What should a doctor do when presented with a patient reduced to a "vegetable" existence? Should the torture of a sick man, created by a disease which might possibly be curable in the future, be relieved by death? These questions will be among those considered next Tuesday evening at the discussion.
Raalte field. This match could determine the league champion, according to the coach. Albion has already defeated the strong Calvin team by the score of 80-56, thus a real tight meet is expected next week when Hope will strive hard to remain undefeated in the MIAA.
Hope Takes Double Beating From Hornets In opening MIAA baseball action the Hope baseball team lost a double-header to the Kalamazoo Hornets last Saturday as the Hornets outscored the Dutch 4-2 and 7-6. In the first game of the afternoon Hope tallied one run in the third
AND INTO THE SAND—Ray Cooper gives a final kick in competition in the broad jump in Hope's track meet with Kalamazoo Saturday at Hope's Van Raalte field.

zoo. In the final field event, sophomores Jerry Poortinga and Dave Duitsman took second and third place finishes in the pole vault.
The Dutch took 11 first places, compared to Kazoo's five. Leading the way for the Dutch was distance runner Doug Formsma. who broke the tape in the mile and in the two mile in record times to make two first-place finishes. Formsma outdistanced his teammates and Kazoo foes to streak across the finish line with a 4:28.2 time in the mile, and again pulled away from the pack with a 9:54.7 finish in the two mile a little while later.
Hope continued to build its lead in the running events, as the Dutch s 440 relay team consisting of Walt Reed, Bill Hultgren, Bob Thompson and Ray Cooper completed the course in 44.1 seconds for a win. Formsma then captured the mile and Hultgren came back to win the 440-yd. dash in a time of 53.2 seconds. Cooper then made his record-tying 100-yd. dash with Walt Reed picking up a third. John Barwis came in third in a strong 120-yard high hurdles, with Steve Reynen and Gary Peiper combining to take a one-three finish in the half mile, Reynen finishing out in front with a time of 2:00.4.
Also looking to the record books Saturday was Ray Cooper. Cooper flew down the track to capture a first in the 100-yard dash with a time of 9.9. This ties the old hundred mark, and Ray looks like a sure bet to break the school record before the end of the year. Hope got off to a good start in the field events with three firsts in six events, and five second place finishes. Freshman Kent Candelora won the javelin for Hope with a throw of 148 feet 3 inches, and Les Cole. Chris Buys and Candelora swept the shot put in that order, with Cole putting the 16-pound sphere 41 feet 4% inches. Buys came right back to edge out Cole in the discus for another one, two finish, as he threw the discus 127 feet 8 inches. In the long jump, Ray Cooper and Floyd Brady took second and third place finishes respectively behind Bill Stoner of the Hornets, and Brady took a second in the high jump behind a 50 feet 10 inch performance of Jerry Gray of Kalama-

Cooper then returned to take the 220-yard dash in 22.7 seconds, and Barwis finished second in the 330 intermediate hurdles. Formsma returned to the scene to overwhelm spectators with an amazing two mile, and Cal Osterhaven followed Formsma and a Kazoo runner over the line for a third place finish. Hope's mile relay team ended the meet by posting a 3:29.8 time to win the final event. Sid Disbrow, Steve Reynen and Bill Hultgren took the first three laps, with Cooper streaking the last leg of the mile.
and the other run in the seventh inning. The Kazoo nine collected their runs by scoring one run each in the first, second, sixth and seventh. Six hits were totaled by each team in the first game along with three errors apiece. A double and a single were registered by Paul Terpstra and Rog Kroodsma for the Dutch as Wayne and Skip Nienhuis each had singles. Kroodsma struck out 10 and walked two for the losers. Hope lost the lead and what turned out to be the game in the seventh inning when a three-base infield error and a squeeze bunt brought two runs across for the win. The winners had six hits and four errors while Hope had eight hits and three errors. The scoring for Hope came in the fifth with four runs and one each in the sixth and seventh. Kalamazoo had one in the third, four in the fifth inning and two in the seventh. Don Troost slammed out a triple for the losers while Phil Pluister tallied a double and a single. Other hits were registered by Terpstra, Cotts, Vern Plagenhoef, Rog Kroodsma and Tom Pelon in the form of singles. Don Kroodsma started on the mound and was relieved by Gary Frens in the fifth inning.
Kazoo Team Downs Dutchmen In Net Sweep The Hope tennis team went down in defeat. 9-0, in their opening MIAA contest last Saturday with Kalamazoo. In singles competition George Smiley of Kalamazoo defeated Craig Workman of Hope 6-0, 6-2. Bill Jones downed Hope's Lance Stell 6-1, 6-0, as John Koch won over Rein Visscher 6-3, 6-3.
