Speech:
U S Should Take Stock "Our country is in g r e a t need of sitting back and taking stock of w h e r e it's going and what it's doing," said Mr. A1 Lowenstein at the Tuesday assembly in the chapel. Mr. Lowenstein. who is an Advisor to the Mississippi F r e e d o m D e m o c r a t P a r t y spoke on some of the p r o b l e m s of our modern society including the "new m o r a l i t y " of m a n y young people. Mr. Lowenstein explained that the "new morality" was "brought about by the m a n y changes and scientific advances in the world" and consisted of " r e j e c t i n g all values and seeking new ones." he said that " t h i s often leads to problems and frustrations, as can be seen in our colleges today." He said that m a n y young people had the attitude, " I ' v e had all the kicks by the t i m e I'm twenty—here I am—where do 1 go n o w ? " ' T h e individual with such f r u s t r a t i o n s cannot a l w a y s be helped by the Calvinistic approach of self-discipline or by the p a n a c e a of love all m e n as brot h e r s , " said Mr. Lowenstein. "This generation h a s g r e a t new p r o b l e m s and these p r o b l e m s a r e not just a repetition of history. The external problems of m a n (poverty, for e x a m p l e ) a r e of a dwindling nature—we can control poverty. We can c r e a t e a fulfilled society," stated Mr. Lowenstein. " H o w e v e r , " ho added. "It is the internal frustrations that a r e our m a j o r problem. These internal f r u s t r a t i o n s or problems, such as racial injustice, c a u s e m a n y people to b e c o m e e m b i t t e r e d toward the whole of society." Mr. Lowenstein then turned to the topic of civil rights and stated that " t h e majority of people who
c a m e to Mississippi when the challenge went out were students and ministers. These two groups f o r m e d a coalition of conscience that reopened the door of hope, not just in Mississippi, but e v e r y w h e r e . Berkley would not have happened without Mississippi." He went on to s a y . "But no one c a m e awayf r o m LMississippi feeling that they had given more than they received." Mr. L o w e n s t e i n concluded, " T h e r e is no better place to live, no better time and as we r e m o v e the pockets of injustice we will be able to become m o r e nearly brothers. You young people who a r e the ones to change society have to try and see things from m o r e viewpoints than your own."

Junior Year Abroad program at the American University of Beirut, Lebanon, for the academic year 1965*1966. Dr. Hollenbach will teach and study at the university under a Ford Faculty Fellowship grant in the non Western Studies P r o g r a m of the GLCA.

Dr. Hollenbach will be visiting professor in the General Education Department of the University of Beirut. The remainder of his time • will be spent on a special study project in modern Middle Eastern Culture in preparation for offering a senior seminar in this area at Hope College upon his return in 1966. The American University of Beirut is one of the outstanding institutions of higher education in the Middle E a s t . Founded in 1868 by an American missionary educator, it has aimed at providing

"We believe that a loving F a t h e r h a s given truth and light to each ige progressively, a s they needed it," said Mr. Evans, thus encompassing all religions as the foundation of Baha'i. He argued that, as Christianity sprang up f r o m a disintegrating Roman civilization, so Baha'i will arise f r o m the decadence of Western civilization. Tracing the history of the Baha'i movement, Mr. E v a n s told of its forerunner, m a r t y r e d in 1850. who said. "Ye a r e the b e a r e r s of love

Subsequently the promised one, Baha'uTlah. appeared from a wealthy Persian family and in 1860 declared, " T h e fglory of God a s of old is revealed to m e n . " Baha'u'llah addressed most of the political and religious rulers of the day, who unanimously rejected him. continued Mr. Evans. "It is only when men recognize Baha'u'llah that they be happy." Responding to questions on technical doctrines, Mr. E v a n s defined Heaven as a s t a t e of God-consciousness, and being saved as having the right relationship with God. "We have no preisthood." explained Mr. Evans. Our religion depends on individual study and prayer." At present the Baha'i following is small, but widely spread throughcut the world, and claiming such noteworthy advocates as Tolstoy, Benjamin Jowett and Arnold Toynbee.

Spanish Play Succeeds Despite Difficulties by Maren Kiefer With his production of " F n la ardiente oscuridad" Dr. Hubert Weller of the Spanish Department has m a d e an important step for Uie languages at Hope. His direction of this difficult play c a m e off well, in spite of the obvious difficulties in managing a stage full of supposedly blind people. Dr. Weller overcame this obstacle and he blocked the movement for m a x i m u m action and m i n i m u m interference of action with the understanding of Spanish lines. Spanish accents among the cast m e m b e r s were generally quite good, highlighted by the native Spanish of J a i m e Zeas and F r a n k Hine. Most of the students gave relaxed performances, using the language and brief black m a s k s effectively, considering this limited their vision. Jonathan Hearne, playing the misfit Ignacio, gave a particularly fine interpretation of a sensitive and bitter young soul. He was wellm a t c h e d in his conflict with Carlos, portrayed by F r a n k Hine. Hine easily moved through his emotionally-charged role, conveying well the bewilderment of a young man whose superiority has been challenged and who consequently- finds no alternative but the killing of the interloper Ignacio. As J u a n a . the girl between them, Connie Chappell, was convincingly sweet and fickle. She contributed her controlled quiet to a tense situation and the quiet was beautifully, but thinly covered by c a l m .
In a supporting role, Edna Shaw gave an excellent portrayal ot Flisa, J u a n a ' s confidante and a partisan of Carlos. It is her blindness which best supports the human blindness of the heart which brings disaster to the school for sightless students. J a m i e Zeas, as Andres, and F r a n Hala. in the role of Dona Pepita. did justice to their c h a r a c t e r s . Zeas' stability provided a thread of reason throughout the IgnacioCarlos clash. Fran Hala's Dona Pepita complemented his characterization as thr raisonneur. Her maturity and v : .ion. both real and figurative, emphasized the horrified comprehension of a woman who saw and understood too much of the tragedy "En la ardiente oscuridad." It was she who chose to share the burden of Carlos' guilt in silence. Aside f r o r i some rather childish hysteria of Inara Bundza's Esperanza and Marion Hoekstra's Lolita. the remaining p e r f o r m a n c e s wfcre adequate. The a p p e a r a n c e of Dr. Weller as Ignacio's father gave the hoped for paternal touch. "En la ardiente oscuridad." proved especially worthwhile as an educational experience for Spanish students, encouraging them to realize that foreign language is a broadening and important part of Hope's curriculum. Dr. Weller and the Spanish department have begun a necessary new approach to language study here. Hopefully, other languages will offer similar efforts in the future.

If one word w e r e to characterize " T h e Whitsun Weddings," it would probably be maturity. Larkin is no passionate young artist, falling upon the thorns of life, no crusading social critic, though there is energv and an undeceived knowledge of his world in his p o e m s ; instead he t a k e s the stance of the a m u s e d or s y m p a t h e t i c onlooker who sizes up scenes, moments or per sons (including himself) with t e n d e r n e s s or wit. as t h e situation d e m a n d s — b u t always with skill. Larkin's restrained handling of subject m a t t e r m e r g e s with his superb control of rhyme and meter, begetting a poetry which is beautifully " f i n i s h e d . " with form and content at p e a c e with each other and the t h e m e never upstaged by what a reviewer has called "King Kong i m a g e s " (the kind that stand up and beat their chests).

Rabbi Discusses Modem Man Has religion failed? R a b b i F r e d e r i c k A. E i s e n b e r g a n s w e r e d this question last Mond a y night in t e r m s of t o d a y ' s society. his own views and the Jewish position in m o d e r n A m e r i c a , and concluded that religion h a s in d e e d failed. Rabbi E i s e n b e r g said t h a t the void which exists is d u e to religion's inability to a d j u s t to the n o r m s of society—humility, h u m a n ity and spiritual n e e d s a r e all alien to society and people feel no need or c o n c e r n for religion. " W e don't w a n t to a c c e p t the reality of the s i t u a t i o n . " he said and "bec a u s e so much is given to us without our e a r n i n g it. w e b e c o m e estranged from reality." He concluded that people e x p e c t a n s w e r s without s e a r c h i n g and s t r u g g l i n g • within o u r s e l v e s ; so they have no love or u n d e r s t a n d ing for t h e m s e l v e s or a n y o n e else
which leaves t h e m powerless to cope with the world. The r a b b i added that f r u s t r a t i o n is good bec a u s e it develops c h a r a c t e r a n d e n a b l e s people to know t h e m s e l v e s through inner struggle. Therefore, according to the s p e a k e r , the J e w o f t e n questions: the J e w is p e r h a p s m o r e tolerant b e c a u s e his faith is b a s e d on questions r a t h e r than a n s w e r s . He believes t h a t the world isn't p r o g r e s sing but has become s t a g n a n t a n d that people a r e passive and bored. According to Rabbi E i s e n b e r g , m e n m u s t o v e r c o m e idolatry, not just o v e r s o m e idols but l e a r n to m a s t e r t h e m s e l v e s and n a t u r e a s well; an idol is m e r e l y an extension of m a n and is what m a n m a k e s it. He added t h a t m a n is being forced into a robot-like conf o r m i t y ; " I n the 19th c e n t u r y t h e p r o b l e m w a s that God w a s d e a d :

Bos worth Relates Count Against Jim Gentile (Editor's Note: In an effort to Keep in touch with one of Hope College's professional baseball players, the sports editor asked Joe Bosworth to send accounts in spring training and the minors. The first of these articles deals with Bosworth's encounter with J i m Gentile in a spring training game.) by Joe Bosworth To those of you who e n j o y baseball as much as I do, the name of Jim Gentile, slugging first baseman for the Kansas City Athletics, will have a familiar ring. To a rookie, he is a six-foot, fourinch tower of baseball lore as facous as his nickname "Diamond J i m . " As precast by the fates he was destined to be my first professional encounter. In an intrasquad g a m e in Bradenton, Florida, the Kansas City A's spring training home, the newlysigned bonus babies were m a k i n g their debuts against tneir first m a j o r league hitters. Walking naively to the m o u n d . . l i k e an unrestrained colt in open pasture. I quickly awakened from my dream world to find Gentile standing at the other end of my now shaky domain: homeplate. It seemed too cruel and treacherous an initiation for even this cocky 'rook.' The man who had once chilled my soul with one swish of the bat while I was watching from the stands was now aiming to use an innocent tinhorn to f u r t h e r his fame. I could delay no longer. I had been given the ball and the players
were at their positions. I used m y usual windup ' t h e r e was nothing else 1 could resort to) and threw what 1 hoped would be a s t r e a m i n g blur past a deadened hat. As my eyes reopened slowly, the incredible sight of my first pitch bouncing past his cocked bat seemed unreal; apparently m y wild fastball had bounced into the c a t c h e r ' s box and in constrained confusion Diamond J i m had swung. But now what? It only meant another chance for Gentile. Again I wound and unwound with what I hoped to be a " l a s e r " ball, and just as before my prayerful eyes beheld him swinging, half-crazed at a ball over his head—an act I still can't explain. In anxious jubilation I threw a third pitch almost out of range of both the catcher and the plate. I told myself I just wasted a pitch. Then with the count one and two and in no condiion to throw a curve I responded with the heat of my fast ball and practically collapsed with the shrill cry of "strike three!" F r o m this pinnacle of accomplishment. I have slid safely and well-protected by its m e m o r y , through spring training. Currently Bosworth is assigned to the Birmingham Barons in the Class A A Southern Assn. On May 5 the young righthander received his first professional start against the Asheville, N.C. Tourists at Asheville and was the victim of a hitless night by his m a t e s as the Barons were shut out 4-0.
