SCSC Plans Approved; Bids Sought By College by Tom Donia anchor Editor
BE FT EVER SO HUMBLE—Marigold Lodge is the name of this stately mansion on the shores of Lake Macatawa. The mansion, caretakers, quarters, greenhouses and other buildings were given to the College by Miss Mary Jane Gold.
Possible Conference Center
Gold Estate Given to College by Garrett DeGraff anchor Assistant Editor
A seven-and-a-half acre estate on Lake Macatawa suitable for use as a conference center was presented to Hope College in August. THE ESTATE, which includes a 34-room mansion and several auxiliary buildings, was given to the College by Miss Mary Jane Gold, daughter of the late Egbert and Margaret Gold who developed the Lake Macatawa property in the second decade of this century. How the estate is to be used is still under discussion. A committee composed of Garence Handlogten, College Treasurer and Business Manager, Dr. Morrette Rider, Dean for Academic Affairs and Barry Werkman, Assistant Business Manager, is studying the possible uses of the property. Mr. Handlogten speculated that the property would be used as a conference center and possibly for such special events as art exhibits, theatre productions and concerts. Already the
property has been used for faculty meetings and for a Student Church retreat. Chaplain William Hillegonds hopes to hold several more retreats at the estate this year. THE MANSION, known as Marigold Lodge, is not presently suited for accommodation of overnight conferences. Extensive repair and renovative work is needed both on the building's exterior and within. In addition, many rooms need to be refurnished, as the furniture that came with the house is in need of repair. A volunteer committee composed of Mrs. Calvin VanderWerf, Mrs. Morrette Rider and Mrs. Lawrence Green is preparing recommendations to be presented to the Board of Trustees concerning how the interior should be remodelled. In addition, Mrs. VanderWerf is sponsoring an open house for community people at Gold's Point Sunday with the hope of creating interest in the estate's development.
Black Musicians Open Cultural Affairs Series by Dave Thomas anchor reporter
"The Black Experience," the first event in the Cultural Affairs series, will be presented September 25, 26, and 27 at Hope College. A NINE-MEMBER group with a variety of talents, "The Black Experience" will attempt to convey the "unwritten culture" of the Black American through music, dance, and folk tales. Highlighting the event is a September 26 performance at the Civic Center featuring folk singer Bernice Reagon, the Georgia Sea Island Singers, the Afro-American Drum and Fife Band, and blues singer Booker T. White. During its 3-day residence at Hope, the group will also participate in workshops with history, music, and sociology classes. The "Great Performance Series," emphasizing inter-cultural affairs, will bring several other artists to the campus in
the months to come. Maurice D u r u f l e , internationally known French composer, will conduct a 120-voice chorus and full orchestra in the performance of his "Requiem" on October 23 at Dimnent Chapel. The music of India will be featured on November 4 as Ashish Kahn and his musicians perform with the sarod, tabla, and tamboura at the Civic Center. THE CULTURE of eastern Europe is the focal point of the fourth event in the series. The Frula Yugoslav Folk Ensemble represents the Iron Curtain countries December 4 at the Civic Center. The National Shakespeare Company is featured in the final event of the semester. This highly professional touring company will perform Macbeth on January 30 at the Civic Center. Students will be admitted free with Hope College identification cards. The public is also Continued on page 8, column 2
THE COLLEGE has set no dates for the completion of the necessary renovations because funds are not available. "The repairs involve great expenditures," Mr. Handlogten said, "and there is no money budgeted for this. We would like to work it out so that we don't take funds away from what we are doing here on campus." Because of the great cost for renovations, the College cons i d e r e d not accepting Miss Gold's gift. However, it was decided that if monies were sought from interested parties and not taken from the school budget, Mr. Handlogten exp l a i n e d , the College could Continued on page 2, column 5
Plans for the DeWitt Student Cultural and Social Center and the Wichers addition to the Nykerk Hall of Music received final approval on August 23, and advertising for bids on construction has begun. THE ARCHITECT'S plans for the proposed $2,040,000 SCSC received final approval from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare on August 23. Prospective bidders on the project are presently examining the plans and preparing bids for the College. The opening of bids has been set for September 30. However, the construction contract will not be awarded immediately, as the bids must be examined by several College and government groups before a final decision can be made. T H I S EXAMINATION of bids "may take several days or even much longer, depending on the price of the lowest bidder," said Clarence J. Handlogten, College Treasurer and Business Manager. "I think it would be very optimistic to expect construction to begin as soon as a month after the opening of bids." Many variables will enter into the actual deadline for construction to begin, he explained. "Because of his schedule the contractor may not be able to begin construction as soon as he is awarded the contract," stated Mr. Handlogten. Details of financing will also be worked out after bids are opened. The College has suffered a paper loss along with other investors in the recent price decline on the stock market, Mr. Handlogten noted. At least $700,000 of the funds ear-
marked for SCSC are in the form r\i corMififioc THERE WILL BE no delay in construction for lack of funds, however. President Calvin VanderWerf assured. "We have enough money," he said. "If we run short, we'll just go out and raise more. <i Although a construction date has not been set, buildings should be well under way before winter halts work," President VanderWerf stated. The drive for the SCSC began October 9, 1964, with a demonstration on President VanderWerfs front lawn. The President agreed that the students needed additional facilities for recreation and cultural programs. Student leaders began to channel the widespread campus enthusiasm into fund-raising drives. An initial goal of $3,000 was set to demonstrate to administrators and trustees of the College that the students were in earnest. WITHIN A MONTH the students topped their initial goal. Individual gifts, club and organizational donations, car washes, Homecoming programs and sales of "SCSC" buttons helped push the sum to $3,500. Anonymous donors contributed sizable amounts to the fund. The largest gift was made by Messr. Jack and Dick DeWitt when they contributed $600,000 and their name to the SCSC. Even when sufficient funds were secured to begin construction, final plans for the student center were late in coming because of architects' delays. The plans were finally completed and sent to the Department of Health, Education and Welfare for its approval. The government passed favorably on both the blueprints and the federal grants.
Will Assist President
Development Director Named The appointment of a new director of development was announced this week by President Calvin VanderWerf, bringing to four the number of new administrative appointments made this summer. Dr. William DeMeester will serve as Assistant to the President for Planning and Development, a position he will assume September 15. Hope has not had an administrator designated for development since the resignation of Larry Ter Molen as Director of Development March, 1968. DR. DEMEESTER comes to Hope from Lea College, Albert Lea, Minn., where he served as charter president. At Lea College Dr. DeMeester was responsible for establishing the college's staff and faculty, a physical plant and an admission's office to recruit students. He also played a key role in establishing budget projections and an overall college philosophy. In 1949 Dr. DeMeester received his B.A. from Hope and two years later was awarded his M.S. from the University of Vermont. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois. BEFORE BECOMING president of Lea College he was professor and chairman of the department of chemistry at Parsons College.
Also announced was the appointment of Barry Werkman as Assistant Business Manager. Mr. Werkman has served as an instructor in Hope's department of economics and business administration since September, 1967. He received his B.A. degree at Hope College and his M.S. from the University of Wyoming. Jon Huisken was appointed assistant registrar. MR. HUISKEN IS a graduate of Calvin College and served as a teacher at the Hope Protestant Reformed Christian School in Grand Rapids prior to assuming his new position. David VanderWel has been appointed Assistant to the Dean of Students. Mr. VanderWel, a 1967 Hope graduate, is serving his internship at Western Theological Seminary where he is a third year student. As Assistant to the Dean of Students, Mr. VanderWel will serve as head resident of Kollen Hall, make studies for the Dean's office and assist with other student personnel functions, according to Dean of Students Robert De Young. IN ADDITION TWO administrators were reassigned. Paul Kleinheksel, previously an admissions counselor, will be in charge of financial aid in the liewly-aligned Office of Admissions and Financial Aid. Mr.
Kleinheksel replaces James Bekkering who resigned on September 1 to do work at Michigan State University towards a Master's Degree in college personnel work. Prior to Mr. Kleinheksel's appointment, financial aid had been part of the office of the Dean of Students. Philip Rauwerdink, formerly Student Activities Coordinator, has been given the job of Director of Vocational Placement in addition to his other duties. He will fill the vacancy left by the resignation of Mr. Bekkering.

Student Congress Seeks Opinion in Referendum i
i TRADITION STILL REIGNS during Freshman orientation week. In photo above, Frosh show their class unity by wearing the time-honored green and orange beanies. At left, lowly freshman Mary Lynn Dzurina gets a lesson in "potting" from noble upperclassmen.
,
/ Orientation Week activities continue today with the trial of the freshman class in Kangaroo Court for crimes which they have committed against upper classmen during the week. It will be held at 4 p.m. in the Pine Grove. This evening Rudy and the Brothers will be featured at a student union dance to be held in the Juliana Room in the basement of Durfee from 9:30 until midnight. Admission is $.75. Saturday, the last day of Orientation Week, will see a freshman-sophomore class beach narty at Ottawa Beach State Park, and in the evening the Student Union Committee will sponsor a dance in the Music Building parking lot from 9:00 to 12:30. "The Sect" will play and refreshments will be served. If the weather does not permit the outdoor dance, it will be held in Phelps dining Hall.
A student referendum is scheduled Monday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Van Raalte Hall on the student committee members appointed by the Student Congress last spring. THIS REFERENDUM satisfies the constitutional provision which states that committee members appointed by the Student Congress Cabinet must be subject to approval by the student body. If approved, these 29 students will serve on 11 committees which function under the A d m i n i s t r a t i v e Affairs Board, the Campus Life Board and the Academic Affairs Board. The committee members and the Student Congress Cabinet will comprise the new Student Congress. This government form was approved by the students last year. In the weekly meeting of the Student Congress Cabinet Monday, President Tim Liggett called for the Monday referendum on the 29 committee positions. At this referendum, the student body will not consider the individuals for each appointive position, but will cast a negative or positive vote for the slate as a whole. MEETING THE requirements of its new constitution is presently the Congress' greatest concern. "An important part of the program by the Congress is to show that this new form of government is democratic and representative of the demands and needs on Hope's campus," said Liggett. He continued by saying, "We've got to show to the student that this government can work and is more responsive to the students as a whole. Consequently, satisfying organizational guide-lines in the Constitution with speed and efficiency will be our first priority." Although proving the Student Congress can work is an impor-
tant priority this year, the Congress will also try to reform some of the rules and attitudes on the campus. "The attitude of in loco parentis is quite antiquated in today's world," said Liggett. "A major move by the Congress will be the establishment of rules which will treat a student as a more responsive individual." IN ADDITION to reform on campus, the Congress will try to direct the campus toward involvement in national problems. According to Liggett, "We are going to strive to unite the campus in an awareness of what is going on beyond the problems of Hope College. Although reform on campus is an immediate demand, we cannot remain totally i s o l a t e d from the national challenges which face us."
Gold Property Given to Hope During August continued from page 1 finance the renovation over an extended period. WHEN THE ESTATE is ready to handle overnight guests it may be able to support itself by being leased to businesses and churches when not being used by school organizations. In addition to the mansion, the property includes three greenhouses, a boathouse where Hope's yacht Infinity Hope is moored and a caretaker's house. These structures occupy about two acres; the remainder of the land is devoted to tree-studded lawns and gardens. Gold's Point is located at the end of Waukazoo Drive off Ottawa Beach Road.
Connect Campus
Telephones Installed in Rooms Wall telephones have been installed in each room of Hope College's dormitories. Serving the entire campus, the phone system allows students to communicate with other residence halls, rooms within the same residence hall, and faculty members' offices any time during the day or night. THE NEW PHONES were installed during the past summer, and the system was officially put into use August 26. The main switchboard on the first floor of Graves Hall handles all College telephone service. Two full-time operators answer all incoming calls and aid phone users with helpful information throughout the day. One operator mans the s w i t c h b o a r d during evening hours until midnight. Student operators will aid the regular
operators as needed to handle the traffic. Previous to the initiation of the present system, phone service for students was often inadequate, as reception desks in individual dorms were unable to handle large volumes of calls on the limited number of lines available. Coin phones on each floor of dormitories had to serve as many as 100 students on that floor. Some cottages still have only one extension telephone, but additional phones will be installed so that at least one phone will serve each floor, according to Barry Werkman, Assistant Business Manager. LOCAL HOLLAND area calls as well as campus calls may be made from the telephones 24 hours a day. Incoming calls are received by Hope College opera-

tors until midnight. Hope's Answering Service takes over when the college switchboard closes, and directs incoming calls to students. During this time, students may receive long distance calls, but must use the pay phones for placing long distance calls. The answering service will ring the student's phone and instruct him to hang up and dial an extension number which will connect him with the party calling. In order to place long distance calls through the system, the student must dial " 0 " between the hours of 8 a.m. and midnight and inform the operator that he wishes to place either a collect or credit card call. The operator will then direct the call to a local Bell Telephone Company long distance operator who will complete the call. COLLEGE TREASURER Clarence Handlogten indicated that credit cards for charging long distance telephone calls will be issued by the student's local telephone company rather than by Holland Bell Telephone. Certain details of phone service are still being worked out, according to Mr. Werkman. Studies of traffic volume will give more precise information a b o u t optimum switchboard hours and the amount of help needed to provide students and faculty members with the best possible telephone service. S T U D E N T S AND faculty members are advised to use the new directories, and to report wrong listings to the Dean of Students' office. Operators are available t o help individuals with "hang-ups" in campus calls.

Rider Announces New Faculty
HARDLY AN OFFICE—Dr. Elton Bniins "makes do*' wtth a portable table for a desk and empty boxes for a telephone stand in his office in Voorhees Hall. The interior of the building was painted, but bookcases, desks, and office furniture were not provided.
Faculty Offices Moved to Renovated Voorhees Voorhees Hall, long time women's dormitory, has been temporarily designated for use as faculty offices, pending completion of the DeWitt Student Cultural and Social Center. THE COLLEGE Board of Trustees will then consider permanent disposition of Voorhees Hall. The ultimate decision will depend in part on whether office space in the SCSC will meet faculty needs. However, longrange use of Voorhees as office facilities is not inconceivable, stated Clarence J. Handlogten, College Treasurer and Business Manager. Before deciding whether or not to remodel the building for dormitory use, the College will determine the desirability of apartment-type housing for students. "The apartment trend is growing on college campuses and may be continued here for the necessary future residence building," Mr. Handlogten said. In this case, Voorhees Hall would not be considered at all for dormitory housing. NINETY-EIGHT coeds were evacuated from the building last February after a small electrical
fire demonstrated the unsafe living conditions. Several plans for remodeling Voorhees were subsequently cancelled due to lack of funds, according to Mr. Handlogten. At one time the building had been slated for demolition, but the plans for an early 1969 start on rennovation were halted by the winter fire.
SEE To Present Film Comedies The Society for the Educated Eye will present The Horse's Mouth and The Case of the Muchinese Battlehorn at 7 p.m. in Dimnent Chapel. .These two comedies mark the beginning of the second season of films presented by the SEE. Among the films to be shown by SEE this year are Viridiana, Gone Are the Days, Smiles of a Summer Night, He Who Must Die, The Knack, Shop on Main Street and several others. Admission is by single ticket for one dollar or season ticket for five dollars.

efficient means of dealing with these issues. New ideas are still too often hard to introduce for study. If the slate of student candidates presented by the Student Cabinet is accepted in Monday's student referendum, the committees can begin to meet the issues, old and new. The beginning of the school year is the best time to start the consideration of issues, for only now is there enough time before us for full consideration and reconsideration. In the past, issues have entered the committee structure and remained unanswered at the end of May. So that this year will bring forth more than physical additions to the campus, let's start the ball rolling now.
There has been so much discussion about teen-age problems that the grown-up problem is practically being ignored. And yet if you pick up a newspaper, you realize grown-ups are responsible for some of the most serious problems this country has ever faced. FOR EXAMPLE, 60 percent of all crime in the United States is committed by grown-ups. The birth rate among grown-up women is four times that of teen-agers. The divorce rate is double. The purchasing power of grown-ups almost exceeds that of teen-agers. Grown-ups are responsible for more daytime accidents than any other age group. THE SOURCE OF these statistics is sociology Prof. Heinrich Applebaum, B.A., M.S., LL.D., Y.E.H., Y.E.H., Y.E.H., who told me in an exclusive interview that his studies showed grown-ups were drifting farther away f r o m society all the time. "The average grown-up," Prof. Applebaum said, "feels his children d o n ' t understand him. The more time he spends with them, the less they communicate with him. So the adult feels isolated, insecure, and misunderstood. In defense he seeks out other grown-ups who feel the same way he does. Pretty soon they form gangs, go to the theater together, hold cocktail parties and dances, and before you know it you have a complete breakdown of the family " "WHY DO YOU think grown-ups are constantly rebelling against their children, Professor?" I guess it's an age-old old-age problem. You have parents wanting to break away and yet not having the nerve to cut the ties completely. Grown-ups are afraid t o stand up to their children, so they rebel against society instead." "Do you think teen-agers could in some
what any professor can teach in a lifetime. And since this is a Liberal Arts school, perhaps this should be understood more. I would also like to ask what the purpose of orientation is. Isn't it designed to help the poor lost freshman in his Quest for Better Understanding of the world around him through the college education? If this is the case, what possible pertinance can potting of the freshman's beanie have to do with this Guidance? I can see the wearing of the beanie, because it helps give the freshman class a unifying factor, and so helps to promote school spirit. I can also see the purpose behind the huge namecards, in that everyone gets t o know the freshman better. But why do the freshmen have to be put in their place? We really are humble, I think, because we don't know what is going on... But again what possible purpose, what possible relevance, can potting have to the guidance of our blank minds that really need guidance? Toby Tyler
way be responsible for the behavior of their parents?" " I DEFINITELY DO," the Professor said. "Grown-ups try to emulate teen-agers. They want to do exactly what teen-agers do, which is to drink, smoke, and drive fast cars. If teen-agers didn't do these things, their parents wouldn't. For every bad adult in America, I'm sure you'll find a bad teen-ager somewhere in the background." "Where do you think the trouble starts?" "In the home. Teen-agers are too rough on their parents. They're always criticizing them for listening to Frank Sinatra records and reading Holiday magazine. Teen-agers don't have any patience with their mothers and fathers. They can't understand why their parents like Doris Day and Rock Hudson movies or what they see in Gary Grant.

" "DO YOU MEAN teen-agers should spend more time at home with their parents?" "Of course. Grown-ups need security. They want to know where their children are. They want the feeling they belong. Only teen-agers can give grown-ups this feeling." "Professor, have you found any homes where grown-ups are leading healthy, normal, secure lives, thanks to the attention they've received from their loving teen-age children?" "We haven't yet.

Summer s Best Sellers In Literary Doldrums Editor's Note: This week anchor critiques editor Robert Kieft reviews four of this summer's " t o p bestsellers."
by Robert Kieft
Oscar Wilde once said : ''More than half of modern literature depends on what one shouldn't read." And so it went. It was, apologies to Geveland Amory and W.S., the summer of our discontent, there being few cooling breezes from the sons of Publisher's Row to relieve the literary doldrums that settled over the land. FIRST, IT WAS the summer of Philip Roth. From Los Angeles Times to New York Times his Portnoy's Complaint, or "Everyone Loves a Jewish Mother" (Random House, $6.95) poked about the tops of the best-seller lists and titillated the literary palates of Americans everywhere. Alexander Portnoy is a nice Jewish boy raised in New York-Jersey who masturbates his way to fame, fortune and a kind of glory found heretofore only in the pages of the "Kinsey Report." Then there are Alex's mother Sophie—bain yet center of her son's existence, brooding behind her little boy's every sexual escapade like an inimical Molly Goldberg in Freudian clothing—and Alex's short, squat, eternally constipated father. And so it goes, the stereotypical crisis of Jewish consciousness. It is the story of a boy's rebellions against mother and the traditions she represents, which (in this particular case and
conveniently for sales of the book) manifests itself in all manner of auto- and heterosexual aberrations, and the simultaneous desire to find security on his mother's breast, the bosom of his heritage. More often than not with a note of hysteria and self-pity informing the pages and with occasional flashes of wit and a lot of good writing, Portnoy complains to his inevitable orgasmic last word on the analyst's couch and sinks painlessly from the reader's memory. THEN IT WAS the summer of The Love Machine (Simon and Shuster, $6.95), gleefully grinding out bills of large denomination for its author Jacqueline Susann. Be her royalties as they may, though, this latest ''Towering, Monumental, Electrifying, Sensational, Gripping, Shocking Torrid NumberOn e - B e s t - S e l l er-That-RockedThe-Nation" novel from the pen of America's self-proclaimed high-priestess of the New Sex is a book of no recognizable merit whatsoever. Having been able to manage only a hundred of its pages (about one-fifth of the book), this reviewer found it utterly lacking in sophistication, either literary or dramatic; it is illiterate, inept, crude, cheap, vapid, naive and incomparably uninteresting. Miss Susann's "style" consists in putting together endless strings of tensyllable declarative sentences punctuated by "tell-it-like-it-is" four-letter words. Beyond even the total lack of variety in her writing she is in eminent need of a good dictionary and/or editor. And though Miss Susann's books are famed for the sex and sensuous excitement which thev are
purported to contain, there is not one erotic moment in the pages read for this review; indeed, one wonders if The Love Machine would arouse a modern eight-year-old. SAMPLE THE following illustrative quotations. Says the author confidentially of her hero (p. 25): "Well, he had humped his way across 46 states. Now he was 'Head of Network News.' " (Sighs of ecstasy. What a man!) And the following appraisal of the current level of American taste in television (p. 59—and one is tempted to add "in books" as well): "The public won't go for this egg head crap!" And finally a confession from
one of her characters (p. 23) which might have come directly from Miss Susann's own agonizings about her profession: "I'm a writer. At least I think I am." From the sales figures on her books, there are evidently a great many other people sufferUNLIKE ITS snowy beginning, Arthur Hailey's smash favorite A irporf ($1.50) took off from the paperback runway on a cloudless July day and was soon cruising at the top of the bestseller lists. Airport is a pleasant pastime—fast, easy, melodramatic plot, soap opera stock characters, and just enough hints of naughtiness to keep the reader's interest. It is a superbly confortable book with good guys and bad, replete with platitudes and moralisms and little gems of Reader's Digest wisdom. It is a book to be read at the beach—blazing sun, dark glasses, greased body comfortably lounging in a chair at the water's edge, one eye and both ears keeping track of the cavortings of the other bathers and the Top 40, and a beer resting coldly on the stomach. AND IT WAS the summer of Mario Puzo and his Godfather (Putnam, $6.95), a mindless little adventure yam filled with sex, crime, violence, impassioned speeches, ringing oratory, moral instruction and all the other tricks from the best-seller bag. It is a romantic novel to the very core. Vito Corleone (LionHeart), an aging, old-style Sicilian mobster operating in New York, is the Godfather. Accor-
ding to his creator, the Godfather has built his Mafia empire outside the pole of the law because he is too great of spirit and forceful of imagination and energy to be so confined. He is unfailingly loyal to his friends and "business-like" with his enemies; he loves his family and garden, a model householder; and he has most of the U.S. government in his back pocket. The book is also the story of the Godfather's youngest son Michael's moral progress from being an aspiring professor of mathematics who wants nothing to do with his father's way of life to being his father's successor and spiritual and intellectual equal. It is the story of Michael's brothers Freddie and Santino, of his mother and sister, of their husbands and wives and lovers, and of all the people associated with the Family—all moving through a quaint orgy of blood, booze, and dirty linen to the living out of the peculiar destiny which Puzo insists belongs to every man. And it is all told in the flabby, dull and silly prose of modern best-sellerdom. SO WENT ONE one man's visit to Best-Seller Land where literature is prostituted in the Temple of Mega-Millions (musn't forget those movie sales). In this regard it is instructive to keep in mind another comment from Oscar Wilde (slightly altered): "In Old Days books were written by men of letters and read by the public. Nowadays books are written by the public and read by everybody."
So you have decided to become part of the "Hope College Community?" Well, each of you, whether this year or three years ago, has also chosen to join not only the student body of Hope College, but also the body of students in general, Czech students, Mexican students, African students as well as American students. AS AN INDIVIDUAL within that collective body, you experience special political freedoms
(like the freedom not to kill people in certain jungles), at least for as long as you're here. But another important freedom you have is the freedom from being held directly accountable for the past, which frees you to act, to salvage the present. You are now, as of your choice of the role of student, responsible for the present. Those who having been in power are to be held accountable for their mistakes, are, as they have
shown and do continually show, not capable of saving themselves from further misguided blunderings : it is your responsibility as a huge body of intellect (with or without your personal neuroses, hang-ups and so on) to accept accountability for your own behavior in the present milieu of their mistakes. And apart from your acts in that milieu, nothing can exonerate you or answer for you when you become responsible for your past. YOU, IN OTHER words, are now responsible for observing, judging, weighing up, deciding and acting, to tacitly let the war continue or to cry out your condemnation in a loud voice, to let Mexican kids stay just "Mexicans" or to teach them that they are human beings, too, to let lonely people stay lonely or to actually take your pride in your hands and ask that one girl by the wall to dance, to forfeit your influence in the conduct of this college or to push hard for that course in Dylan Thomas you wanted, to stand placidly in those stupid and senseless lines or to collectively ask "What for?" For you have decided to join the whole body of students; most of them find responsibility pretty exciting.

LARGEST SELECTION OF REGULAR AND CONTEMPORARY GREETING CARDS IN ALL WESTERN MICHIGAN
'Prisoners in Niggertown' by Glenn Pontier
wars, based on one's religious convictions.
Editor's Note: This week's anchor essay is written by Glenn Pontier, a 1968 graduate of Hope College.
There are few positions espoused by the radical left to which President Nixon, Senators Goldwater, Hatfield, Kennedy and McGovern, William Buckley, Gore Vidal and the "Ayn Rand Objectivists" would agree. Perhaps the only issue upon which any kind of concensus has been reached is the total inadequacy of the present Selective Service System. The reasons for opposing the present law are as numerous as they are varied, and they range from political and economical to social, legal, and moral. SOME PEOPLE contend that the system of selection is unjust and that those called to serve are too often the poor, the uneducated, or the black. It is argued that the poor have difficulty obtaining deferments for college or for skilled jobs essential to the nation's interest, while those in the middle class, like most Hope College students, can afford the higher education and the legal counsel necessary to obtain deferments. Others state that the cost of constantly training new draftees could be scaled down by maintaining a smaller, more technically competent permanent army, with civilians assuming much of the clerical and support work. Still others claim that a selective service violates the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which prohibits involuntary servitude. EVEN WHEN THE flaws of selection are few, there is little fair about a system which chooses some men to die and others to live, while causing all to exist in a state of uncertainty until their fate is decided. In any case, we know that the draft is unpopular—perpetuating the inequalities which exist in this nation and the world and contri-
f
bating directly to the unrest in our society. Because injustice and oppression are built into it, because it does n o t serve—but violates—the interest and welfare of our people, the S.S.S. is considered evil and opposition to it has mounted. While the draft may be viewed by most people as a problem, there is little agreement on what to do about it. Unlike the politicians, unlike businessmen, unlike most of the establishment which can debate the issue in very academic fashion, the college student is faced with a real, practical life and death experience, one of the few he faces in his world of green beanies, textbooks and theory. After all, it is his life which is controlled, directed and dominated, and it is his body which goes to fight in that "dirty little war." The draft might be simple

WORSE YET, acceptance of this or any classification is still acceptance of the Selective Service System itself. Again—tacit consent. And running to Canada or Sweden solves the problem of giving approval to the system, but ignores the draft altogether, hardly causing its decline. A more responsible and effective confrontation with the draft system is to refuse to cooperate with it altogether. Such a decision must never be lightly made, as it is in clear violation of the law. If convicted of a violation of the Selective Service Act of 1967, one can be fined up to $10,000 or imprisoned for up to five years, or both.

C O L L E G E DEFERMENTS seem an easy enough solution, but they only last four years. Actually, their effect is only to postpone an individual problem, not settle it. And even then, by failing to confront the draft's basic injustices, one has also failed to take seriously Hope College's goal of providing "full opportunity for the fulfillment of each individual student, not for his own self-gratification, but for what he can give ( to others in service to God and m a n .

STILL, REFUSAL to acknowledge the government's right to conscript its citizens frees one of participation in the evils which stem from such conscription. It means explaining to this government that one intends to live hit own life, in a way which could affirm the lives of others, not destroy them, and that that means total non-cooperation with the military. As Joan Baez Harris says o n t h e back c o w of "David's Album": "To say no to death is to say yes to life. And to say yes to life is against the law."

But one is not alone. There are about 10,000 young men who have already refused to cooperate. And there is support from many different quarters, some much closer to home than Coffin and Spock.
If getting out of the military is one's intent, then collecting the 2-S deferment, sitting tight and playing it safe, is obviously the proper course for action. However, not to confront the draft is to give tacit consent to the system and to say, "Because you have given me a privileged position I will ignore the wrong that you d o . "
BRIEFCASES ATTACHE CASES SLIDE RULES
AT THE JUNE 1969 General Synod of the Reformed Church, over 30 ministers organized the "Ad hoc Committee of Clergy and Laity to Receive Draft Cards and Counsel Young Persons." In their first statement they said: "The members of this Committee, respecting the rights of Christian conscience, are constituted on their own initiative to receive draft cards of young persons who are opposed to the Selective Service System, and to offer advice and counsel to those who seek in this and other ways to express their objection."
ON THE OTHER hand, con frontations with the draft presents a number of problems, the biggest and hardest of which is a real risk to the individual. Perhaps the safest way to oppose the draft is through the system itself. Because our society is not totally barbaric, certain enlightened men have recognized that some individuals honestly and sincerely cannot bring themselves to partake in a system of w a r f a r e . Draft classifications have been established which provide that conscientious objectors be exempt from military duties and placed in civilian work contributing to the maintenance of the national health, safety or interest.
By accepting such cards, and notifying each local board of the young man's decision, they have placed themselves in possible violation of the law. TTiey do this, nevertheless, to give responsible, yet tangible support to draft resisters. At the present they have received cards from four young men, three of whom graduated from Hope College.
While registering as a C-0 meets the needs of many men, and serves to register a deep disagreement with the system as well, it is plagued with problems. Some cannot obtain such a classification because of unfavorable and biased draft boards, while others simply cannot meet the s t r i n g e n t requirements that demand total opposition to all
LET EVERY YOUNG man facing the draft be obedient to his conscience and if his thinking leads him to work for the abolition of the draft system through non-cooperation with it, then so be it! "Let us hope that all have the strength to act like free men and not like prisoners."

Coach Optimistic
V-
Passing Is Strang far Gridders By Bob Vandenberg anchor reporter

TACKLING PROBLEMS—Junior quarterback Groy Kaper eludes an Adrian tackier. Kaper's passing is expected to be one of the strong points in Hope's attack.
"Cautious optimism" are the words of Coach Russ DeVette as he prepares his Hope College gridders for their 1969 opener tomorrow at Defiance College in Ohio. "WE POTENTIALLY have a real fine passing game," said DeVette before sending his charges through a full-squad scrimmage Wednesday night at Riverview Park. "Our biggest concern is putting together a good ground game to go with the passing game. We feel that in order for our passing game to work, we must have a solid running attack." There is no doubt that Hope will again have a strong aerial offense in 1969, as was the case last season, when the Dutchmen posted a respectable 4-5 record. Last year, quarterback Groy Kaper, now a junior, set new school marks by completing 84 of 161 passes for 1203 yards and 11 touchdowns. Kaper's favorite target, senior end Bill Bekkering, caught 37 passes in '68 for 551 yards and six TD's. THE DEPARTURES of running backs Gary Frens and Nate Bowles put the ball-carrying chores in the hands of senior Harry Rumohr, junior Bob Haveman, and flashy sophomore Carlton Golder. Paving the way for the backs this year will be an experienced
offensive line. Juniors Keith Van Tubergen and Bart Merkle will be the tackles, senior Dave Pruim and junior Bill Hondorp will be the guards, and senior Jim De Horn will be the center. HOPE'S DEFENSE is expected to be fairly strong, with several regulars returning from last year's unit. Senior Bruce Heustis and Van Tubergen will man the defensive tackle slots, with either junior Jerry Swierenga or sophomore Doug Nelson at middle guard. Coach
DeVette will start two freshmen, Ted Albrecht and Dave Gosselaar, at defensive end. Backing the line will be senior captain Tom Thomas and junior Carl Nadolsky, while Golder, Bekkering, Frank, and sophomore Howie Ducharme are expected to be the defensive backs TOMORROW'S opponent, Defiance, figures to be a tough one. A veteran team with many returning lettermen, Defiance began practicing two weeks earlier than the Dutchmen did.

Booters Have Scoring Punch With nine of last year's letter winners returning this season, the Hope College soccer team continued workouts this week in preparation for its opening match with Maryknoll College next Saturday. LEADING COACH William Vanderbilt's squad will be CoCaptains David Clark, a junior fullback and Art Hudak, a junior halfback. Manuel Cuba and James Hoekstra will add greatly to the Dutchmen's scoring threat this season. Both individuals were selected to the All-Michigan-Dlinois-Indiana Conference for their efforts last year. Other returning letter winners include seniors Jeff Alperin, John Debreceni, Bob Kuhn, Charlie VanEngen and junior Lou Lotz. ATTEMPTING TO fill the gaps left by graduating seniors are sixteen new-comers and non-
letter winners from last year's squad. All will be in competition for eleven starting positions. Highlighting this season's non-conference play for the Hope team will be a match with the Michigan State Spartans on September 23 in East Lansing. The Spartans were last year's N.C.A.A. Co-Champions. Within the M.I.I. Conference the greatest strength lies, as it did last year, with Wheaton and Earlham Colleges. In post-season activity last year Wheaton captured the N.C.A.A. College Division Mid-West Championship. Earlham finished fifth in the N.A.I.A. National Champion-
MIAA All-Sports Championship Calvin College captured its first Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association all-sports championship by a one point margin over the Hope College Dutchmen in a race that wasn't decided until the final weekend of 1968-69 competition. Last year's finish was the closest in the 31-year history of the award. The first five teams were separated by just five points. Calvin ended with 54 points, followed by Hope with 53, Kalamazoo 52, Alma 50, Albion 49, Adrian and Olivet 18 apiece. Calvin joined the MIAA in 1953 and because the Knights do not compete in football were never a serious all-sports contender. This year the Grand Rapids college won championships in basketball and track, finished runner-up in cross country and baseball, third in tennis, fourth in wrestling and sixth in golf. MIAA schools will be competing in swimming and soccer during the coming year, thus bringing to nine the number of sports sanctioned by the conference.
THIS SEASON will, however, be the Hope College soccer team's last opportunity to take the M.I.I. Championship since next year soccer will be included in the M.I.A.A. sports schedule. According to Coach Vanderbilt, the major problem facing the Dutch this year may be the language barrier. On this year's squad five foreign countries, including Ghana, Ethiopia, Mexico, Peru and the Netherlands are represented.
