The conference is being sponsored by the National Student Assn. Commenting on the significance of t o m o r r o w ' s p r o g r a m , Student Senate P r e s i d e n t Wes Michaelson said, " I t is most important that we get a l a r g e p e r c e n t a g e of the student body out Saturday. This could be one of the biggest things on c a m p u s for s e v e r a l years." The conference will consist of two s e p a r a t e sessions, each centered around one of the two m a i n speakers. The morning session, scheduled for 10:30 in the Chapel, will center around Dolfin Droge, a r e p r e s e n t a tive of the United States Department of State. Mr. Droge is a correspondent for the Voice of America. a subordinate agency of the U.S. Intelligence Agency. The express purpose of the VOA is to present U.S. policy to people of other nations. Mr. Droge's work has recently taken him to Vietnam. The VOA correspondent is expected to defend the official policies of our government. Droge will a d d r e s s attending students and answer any questions on issues the students might wish to raise. The morning session will also
Tour a Success
R o m n e y B a c k s V i e t n a m Policy Michigan Governor George M. •Romney gave his s t a m p of approval to the U.S. g o v e r n m e n t policy toward Vietnam in a Detroit speech last Tuesday. The Republican governor, who h a s just returned f r o m a tour of the F a r E a s t and Vietnam, spoke for the Student L e a d e r ' s S u m m i t Conference, which was attended by nine Hope students. The conf e r e n c e , held at the Univ. of Detroit, was televised live by Michigan television stations and attended by delegates f r o m thirty colleges and universities in Michigan and Ontario. In his thirty-minute speech. Gov. Romney elaborated on his conviction t h a t the U.S. involvement in the V i e t n a m e s e conflict is a m o r a l one. "I h a v e no question that what w e ' r e doing in South Vietnam is morally right, and essential to the f r e e d o m and prog r e s s of the w o r l d , " he said. Romney- sought f u r t h e r to conv i n c e his audience that the struggle in V i e t n a m is not civil and t h a t the Viet Cong a r e not r e p r e s e n t a tive of a popular uprising. He called the w a r " a n e f f o r t on the part of North V i e t n a m to terrorize the people of South Vietnam, who w a n t to be f r e e . " He classified the Viet Cong activities as " p a r t of an international conspiracy to impose terror."
Romney illustrated Vietnamese a c c e p t a n c e of A m e r i c a ' s role in the w a r by telling of native friendliness toward A m e r i c a n s , of the failure of the South Vietnamese to obey the Viet Cong call for a general strike and of the fact that Viet Cong desertions a r e increasing. "Without the help of North Vietnam, the Viet Cong would be a bandit g r o u p , " he said. The Michigan Governor applauded the troop m o r a l e which he observed in V i e t n a m , calling it " t e r r i f i c . " "They c a n ' t understand the demonstrations h e r e , " he said. Romney w a r n e d that the outcome of the w a r depends on the attitude of A m e r i c a n s both here and in Vi e t n a m . "Any lack of m o r a l e will prolong the conflict," he said. Romney said t h a t the aim of the U.S. g o v e r n m e n t is " t o assist the g o v e r n m e n t of South V i e t n a m in achieving a w o r k a b l e settlement and to seek to end the aggression without t h r e a t e n i n g the existence of North Vietnam or spreading the w a r . " He added that the w a r should be mainly confined within South Vietnamese b o r d e r s and that the m i l i t a r y effort should be defensive in c h a r a c t e r . Following his a d d r e s s ,Romney a n s w e r e d questions submitted to him by the delegates. During this t i m e he called for cancelling foreign aid to nations aiding North
include a review of .American involvement in V i e t n a m by J a c k Schrier, regional c h a i r m a n of NSA. Dr. Wesley Fishel will be the focal point of the afternoon session, which begins at 1:45 p . m . Dr. Fishel, a professor of ipolitical science at Michigan State University, has s e r v e d in varied official capacities related to Vietn a m since 1954. He f o r m e r l y served as special adviser to President Ngo Dinh Diem and has visited Vietnam as c h a i r m a n of the American F r i e n d s of Vietnam as recently as last August. The author of a n u m b e r of books on Vietnam, he is presently the advisory editor for Southeast Asia for the Encyclopedia International. Dr. Fishel will speak f r o m his e x p e r i e n c e s on the topic: "Why a r e we in V i e t n a m ? " He also will take t i m e for questions. The conference will conclude with an opportunity to re-question either or both of the two s p e a k e r s . To insure intelligent questioning f r o m the student body*, conference p a r t i c i p a n t s will spend forty-five m i n u t e s between sessions in meetings with student discussion leaders, to raise and develop questions to be submitted. The two s p e a k e r s will attend a banquet with several m e m b e r s of the faculty at noon. F i n a n c e s for bringing both speakers, to raise and develop quesby the Michigan region of NSA. T h e r e f o r e delegates f r o m each of the seven other NSA - affiliated schools in the region have been invited to the conference. The Voice of America, primarily a broadcasting a r m of the governm e n t , intends to cover the entire conference p r o g r a m and h a s requested the facilities of WTAS to tape speeches, discussions and ext e m p o r a n e o u s c o m m e n t s by the faculty.

DR. WESLEY FISHEL second r e p r e s e n t a t i v e of VOA, will b e present on c a m p u s for that purpose. "Both Droge and Fishel can be expected to present and defend g o v e r n m e n t policy," stated Dick Shiels, coordinator of the conference. " T h e r e f o r e , there will be opportunity both for s t u d e n t s to be informed on our latest official policies and actions and for those students who wish to challenge the g o v e r n m e n t policy to do so." M r . Droge received his bachelor's degree f r o m Wittenberg College as a political science m a j o r in 1950 and his m a s t e r ' s degree f r o m Western Reserve University in 1951. He h a s served in the F a r E a s t with the USAF, h a s been with the USIA in Thailand and Laos, and in E a s t e r n E u r o p e as a state d e p a r t m e n t official.

Christ in Temporal Fact Is Vander Lugt's Talk
Method Studied
D e H a a n E n d s 2-yr. Project By George Arwady
DR. WILLIAM VANDER LUGT "Hhgh Points of the H u m a n S p i r i t " is the title of a lecture which Dr. William VanderLugt, Dean of the College, will present next Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. in G r a v e s auditorium. The a d d r e s s is the second in the Centennial Series on Eduation. In previewing his lecture. Dr. V a n d e r Lugt said, " I n the l e c t u r e I hope to indicate that there is a doctrine of objective value in class-
ical education before the Christian e r a , and that the Christian e r a accepted this objectivity and illuminated it by attaching e t e r n a l significance to concrete t e m p o r a l events." "Christianity h a s e n a b l e d u s , " he continued, " t o r e a d superior expressions of m e a n i n g into common m a t t e r s . Knowledge of m a n and of the universe take on d e e p e r m e a n i n g when considered in the light of Christian faith. In t h e incarnation God unveiled in J e s u s Christ the truth which f r e e s us f r o m meaningless existence. A liberal education does not r e a c h its goal unless something of e t e r n a l g r e a t n e s s is seen in the p a s s a g e of t e m p o r a l fact. T h e response to the incarnation cannot be m a d e in t e r m s of discursive t r u t h only — it calls for worship and a life of devotion — high points of the human spirit." Dr. Vander Lugt w a s b o r n in the Netherlands, received his A.B. d e g r e e f r o m Calvin College and his M.A. and 'Ph.D. f r o m the University of Michigan. The dean will meet informally with interested faculty and students in the P r e s i d e n t ' s R o o m of G r a v e s Hall a f t e r the lecture.
A f t e r two y e a r s of r e s e a r c h into the p r o g r a m m e d method of teaching, Dr. Robert De Haan, head of the education d e p a r t m e n t , is concluding his c o m p r e h e n s i v e study and formulating s o m e interesting conclusions. The basic concept of the prog r a m is that of an educational sequence p r e p a r e d in a p a r t i c u l a r subject with an e x a c t objective in m i n d . It brings the scientific method into the classroom for the s a k e of efficiency. For e x a m p l e , the p r e p a r a t i o n and f o r m a t of a p r o g r a m in math would b e similar to this: F i r s t the author of the p r o g r a m decides on the e x a c t objective of the course—let us s a y he w a n t s to
teach the technique of rounding-ofr n u m b e r s . The author cites e x a m ples of correct technique for each s t a g e of the rounding-off process. Then, a f t e r each e x a m p l e , the p r o g r a m explains the concept behind the e x a m p l e and quizzes the student on the concept. The prog r a m methodically spins a web of c a r e f u l l y explained e x a m p l e s and concepts until the o b j e c t i v e ^ h a s been reached. Dr. De H a a n ' s r e s e a r c h into this field has involved the e x p e r i m e n t a l implementation of p r o g r a m m e d m a t e r i a l s in the various schools of the Great Lakes Colleges Assn. A c a r e f u l study is m a d e of e a c h p r o g r a m as it is being developed and its d e g r e e of success is estimated.
One of the interesting features peculiar to Dr. De Haan's study in this area is the work being done in programming both the arts and the sciences. Traditionally, programs tend to be written in areas such as math and science where specific objectives can be more easily isolated. However, Dr. De Haan believes that there is no limit on such programs. The area that a program can cover is limited only by the genius of its author. Among the programs currently being studied are those involving such aesthetic areas as poetry. Various Conclusions Tentative conclusions of the research project are in several veins. Research indicates that programming is a form of teaching which is highly successful in explaining a technical point of detail to a student. Its efficiency in specific detailed areas surpasses that of a normal course which gives a broader, less-confined picture of a course. However, there are drawbacks to the program as well. Preparing the program is often a slow painstaking task for the author. If entire courses were programmed, indications are that over a long period of time the set routine and restrained range of classroom freedom would eventually tend to bore both instructor and pupil.

Thus classes based solely on programs would not s e e m to be feasible, for although an objective could be reached, too high a price would be paid in classroom apathy.

What, then, is the future of the program in education? According to Dr. De Haan the future possibilities and applications of the programming technique are of great a large-scale basis but of great value when used selectively. Their great worth can come in explaining a specific point on which a class or individual is bogged down. A "nodular programming" system is envisioned, in which there would be a program covering specific areas in every subject. A teacher could utilize a program to clarify a specific point of difficulty met in the normal classroom procedure. Over a brief period with a very clear objective in mind the value of the program is unchallenged. Dr. De Haan predicts increased use of the program through such techniques as this in many schools, including at Hope.

F o r u n d e r c l a s s m e n especially, he felt, chaoel c a n h a v e a r e a l educational value. He proposed that a new system be adopted under which f r e s h m e n m u s t a t t e n d chapel t h r e e days a week, sophomores twice a week, juniors once, and seniors at their own m a t u r e discretion. On t h e s u b j e c t of m a n d a t o r y classes and class cuts. Dean Vand e r Lugt noted that the college policy left t h e m a t t e r of attenda n c e in the h a n d s of the individual instructors. He c o m m e n t e d , " W h e n you cut class you're just cutting yourself out of an e d u c a t i o n . " Seve r a l students noted that o f t e n t i m e s the classes which the s t u d e n t did not wish to a t t e n d w e r e those in which a t t e n d a n c e was carefully kept. The Dean replied t h a t a college had a resnonsibilitv to k e e p t r a c k of its students. Hope, he said, feels t h i s obligation m o r e keenly than m a n y l a r g e r schools.
s e e m e d e x t r e m e . She cited the editorial in last week's anchor as an e x a m p l e of this. She noted that while the m e n s e e m e d greatly c o n c e r n e d about the women's rights, the w o m e n t h e m s e l v e s did not r e g a r d the regulations as so g r e a t a b u r d e n . T h e D e a n of Wom e n r e m i n d e d the students of provisions such as l a t e permission and w o n d e r e d if t h e regulations w e r e as s t r i c t as m a n y students s e e m e d to feel they w e r e . She noted that Hope " i s concerned with the whole person, not just the m i n d . " Rev. Hillegonds suggested that perhaps it might be b e t t e r , in at least the s m o k i n g controversy, to allow the w o m e n to m a k e t h e i r own decision, and t r u s t to their m a t u r i t y .
the students t h a t Hope did not wish to h a v e a n y student drop out bec a u s e of f i n a n c i a l p r e s s u r e a n d advised s t u d e n t s i n t e r e s t e d in schola r s h i p s to s e e him in his office in Van R a a l t e .
Housing Shortage D e a n Van E e n e n a a m mentioned the s h o r t a g e of housing. Business m a n a g e r William Wilson told of t h e ten-year plan for college expansion which is in the p l a n n i n g s t a g e but said t h a t f i n a n c i a l pressure pr ecl udes the construction of new housing in t h e next y e a r or t two. On t h e student-teacher ratio and relationship, Dean V a n d e r Lugt said t h a t the p r e s e n t eighteen-to-one ratio will be maintained. Chaplain Hillegonds a n d Dean Carey c o m m e n t e d on s e v e r a l prog r a m s being planned to give opportunity for closer student-teacher relations, including such plans as e n c o u r a g i n g faculty m e m b e r s to eat in the c a f e t e r i a and providing for faculty visitations to dormitories on an informal basis.
Aid to Students S e v e r a l other topics w e r e discussed. Roger Rietberg of the admissions d e p a r t m e n t r e p o r t e d that the n u m b e r of applications were still i n c r e a s i n g and that m a n y of t h e new applications w e r e from s t u d e n t s outside the R e f o r m e d Church. William Hilmert advised

We a p p r e c i a t e the lofty concern of the editor for the plight of t h e women on the c a m p u s under the double s t a n d a r d . T h e r e a r e s o m e p r a c t i c e s under the double standard that we as w o m e n would hate to give up—such as the d e f e r e n c e and consideration shown us as m e m b e r s of the " w e a k e r " sex. However, we don't necessarily feel t h a t doing away with all rules and regulations or s t a n d a r d s f o r wom e n n e g a t e s the double s t a n d a r d . We a d m i t that in the business world, recognition of w o m e n ' s talents and abilities is often sadly lacking, and if you really w a n t to do us a favor, we would a p p r e c i a t e the m e n ' s concern in this a r e a . But. getting back to the " e q u a l i t y " so m u c h desired on c a m p u s — what is to stop the m e n ' s rules f r o m being c h a n g e d to comply with ours? We too feel t h a t w o m e n want to s m o k e in anything but a " s t y , " as you so aptly described the lounge in t h e b a s e m e n t of G r a v e s , and think that additional lounges for smoking should be m a d e available. This would be our proposal for a solution, r a t h e r than c r e a t e inn u m e r a b l e sties within e a c h dormitory, out of each individual r o o m . We certainly don't look down on women who smoke (in fact, threefourths of this c o m m i t t e e smoke), and feel that they shouldn't be penalized for it. However, why should a m e m b e r of the m a j o r i t y of the women on c a m p u s h a v e to exist in a cloud of s m o k e coming f r o m a c i g a r e t t e s e v e r a l doors down the hall? You, living in d o r m s , all know how odor perm e a t e s the air, and if the m a j o r ity of the girls find s m o k e obnoxious, t h e y should not be forced to live with it. Yes, it is important for women "to be responsible to themselves
and s o m e very real m o r a l standa r d s . " Is it any less a responsibility for a person to respect and comply with the wishes of the m a j o r i t y ? We doubt it. AWS S t a n d a r d s Committee Ruth Sytsma Evelyn Albers Arlene Anderson Joan Medema Dear Calvin Vander F r i s b e e and The P h a n t o m - C h a m p i o n of the Underdog, We a r e committed to a cause! We a r e alined under a b a n n e r ! We a r e crusading t o w a r d s victory! We a r e the Champions of Women's Freedom!!! Our p r o g r a m is an irrational one, in the tradition of all great causes. F i r s t , let us e x p a n d the opportunities for women to visit foreign countries on weeknights. Certainly special late permission should be given. Second, let us m a k e available f e m a l e involvement in international espionage. Surely there m u s t be at least some interest in the FrenchCanadian terrorist activities. Or if not, w h a t about blowing up Cana d i a n ships c a r r y i n g w h e a t to Red China? Thirdly, let us f r e e w o m e n f r o m the shackles of time and stop arbitrarily imposing a 24-hour, sevenday week upon them, as well as a 12-month c a l e n d a r . Surely they a r e old enough to k e e p t r a c k of time for themselves. Finally, let us once and for all .give women complete f r e e d o m in smoking. Surley w o m e n ' s Scandinavian c i g a r s can be imported and distributed f r o m the Health Clinic. We c a n ' t be enslaved by m e r e cultural m or es. So, Viva La F r a n c e ! The Maole Leaf f o r e v e r ! The Student Ad Hoc Committee For More Ad Hoc Committees One of our philosophy essays, though originally speaking in a different context, struck m e as expressing clearly, s o m e thoughts whioh have real significance, especially for the freshman and sophomore classes in the light of
Nykerk: " I t s e e m s equally m i s t a k e n to say, on the one hand, t h a t all classconsciousness is b a d , or, on the other, t h a t we ought above all things to gird ourselves for the class-struggle. T h e just view apparently is that we should h a v e in this m a t t e r , as e l s e w h e r e , diff e r e n c e on a basis of unity. Class alty in t h e p u r s u i t of right ends is good; but like all such s e n t i m e n t s it should be subordinate to a broad justice and kindness. If there is no class-consciousness m e n become isolated, d e g r a d e d and ineffective: if t h e r e is too m u c h , or the w r o n g kind, t h e group becomes s e p a r a t e and f o r g e t s the whole. Let t h e r e be ' d i v e r s i t i e s of gifts but t h e s a m s p i r i t . ' " Priscilla Inkpen, '69 As a r e c e n t g r a d u a t e of Hope College, I had m y first limited opportunity to view the c a m p u s activities as an " o u t s i d e r . " While I w a s i m p r e s s e d and p l e a s e d with the p e r f o r m a n c e s at N y k e r k last S a t u r d a y , Nov. 13, I w o n d e r if it w a s n e c e s s a r y , at the conclusion, to add insult to d e f e a t . I ' m sure the a u d i e n c e w a s not e n t e r t a i n e d in those last few minutes—not to mention the F r e s h m e n girls. A '65 g r a d u a t e F o r one p a r t i c u l a r s t a t e m e n t I m a d e at N y k e r k , I wish to apologize.

I would like to r e - e m p h a s i z e m y wish t h a t the m e m b e r s of our c l a s s e s m a y not only feel close to and work with with those in their own class, but t h a t we all, as s t u d e n t s of Hope, will work together to f o r m a m o r e acive, m o r e i n t e r e s t e d student body.

Why Stay in Vietnam? By Dick Shiels Dr. Wesley F i s h e l and Dolfin Droge will be on c a m p u s S a t u r d a y to discuss A m e r i c a n policy in Vietnam and to a n s w e r specifically the q u e s t i o n , " W h y stay in Vietnam?" What it t a k e s to a n s w e r t h a t question is a knowledge of t h e geography, the politics and t h e significance of S o u t h e a s t Asia. B a c k g r o u n d i n f o r m a t i o n for such a visit is n e c e s s a r y for a basic u n d e r s t a n d i n g of the situation. V i e t n a m is seen a s a stepping stone for R e d China. It is t h t key to taking o v e r all of Southeast Asia and all 325 million of the Southeast Asian people. The significance of the w a r is not limited to t h e b o u n d a r i e s of V i e t n a m . T h e second point t h a t proves that t h e r e is an indefinite significance in the w a r is t h a t South Vietnam is the r i c e bowl of all Asia. Both Red China and North Vietnam h a v e populations crying for food, and the most fertile soil in Asia lies in pro-Western South Vietnam. To lose V i e t n a m to these n o r t h e r n f o r c e s would be to strengthen t h e economy of t h e s e two nations as well as to b r o a d e n their b o u n d a r i e s . But the m a i n concern lies in the stepping-stone notion. An understanding of the shinking behind it, then, is crucial to seeing the significance of V i e t n a m .
Straits of Malacco The most f e a r e d step beyond taking South V i e t n a m would be taking the S t r a i t s of Malacco, proven to be the safest route f r o m the Indian to the P a c i f i c Ocean. At the p r e s e n t t i m e 98 per cent of the O r i e n t ' s t r a d e p a s s e s through this 600 mile strip of w a t e r . More t h a n 12,000 ships a y e a r p a s s t h r o u g h h e r e to t h e British port of S i n g a p o r e ; over 10,000 a y e a r to Indonesia. The loss of the S t r a i t s of Malacco t h e n would put China in position if not to take, at least to g r e a t l y w e a k e n these two pro-Western basts. Australia, Japan But w h a t would be the progression of the o t h e r " s t e p " ? The hypothetical a n s w e r is that f r o m South Vietnam Red China would take T h a i l a n d . Laos, and Cambodia and find herself in position to look to t h e Philippines, to J a p a n and to Australia. At this point any f u r t h e r s t e p p i n g would certainly be significant. Australia is a nation geographically t h e size of t h e United States. Her resources as well as h e r location and size would be of intense interest to the Chinese. And h e r population is no m o r e than 11.000.000. Taking Australia f r o m this hypothetical v a n t a g e point would be a breeze. And w h a t of J a p a n ? J a p a n h a s s,

Christian Action Was Discussed At 'Village HalV Last Tuesday evening, Hall" meeting was held Hall to discuss c a m p u s and d e t e r m i n e how we tions might take action
a "Village in G r a v e s problems as Chrison them.
Among those things discussed were the purpose of sororities and f r a t e r n i t i e s in c a m p u s life, the lack of communication among students, and the Tuesday morning assemblies. R a t h e r than having relatively unknown s p e a k e r s e a c h week students suggested that the assemblies might be better attended if they were held monthly and if they presented someone whose m e s s a g e would be of interest to ah the students. Also s t r e s s e d were the d o r m discussions with Reverend Hillegonds which occur informally in the various dormitories.
By Joyce PolllU Dr. E d w a r d Daniel Dimnent, a m a n of diverse abilities, continued to enrich Hope College over a fifty y e a r period. During his y e a r s as President from 1918 to he was responsible for the design and construction of the chapel which now bears his n a m e . He had received his f o r m a l education at Hope, where he was g r a d u a t e d in the year 189^ at the Western Theological S e m i n a r y and the University of Chicago. T h r e e honorary degrees were a w a r d e d to him in recognition of his accomplishments as an outstanding educator: the Litt.D. from R u t g e r s College, L.H.D. f r o m Hope College and LL.D. f r o m C e n t r a l College. Born in Chicago, he spent most of his life in Holland. He joined the faculty as a professor of Greek then entered the field of economics. A well-known figure in literary circles, he cultivated literary interest at the college and the community. He headed the Michigan Author's Assn. in 1938. simultaneously holding the office of president of the State Historical Society. F o r e m o s t among his writings were his poetic interpretation of " T h e Book of J o b " and " T h e P i l g r i m , " a pageant written for the seventy-fifty a n n i v e r s a r y of the college. Authorship of "The P i l g r i m " reveals s o m e characteristic qualities of Dr. Dimnent. He w a s not content to u n d e r t a k e the writing of the dialogue, but also spent additional months studying the history in order that the c o s t u m e s would give an a c c u r a t e picture of the old world scenes. He worked with precision and completeness. When it was presented. Dr. Dimnent, in all humility, r e f u s e d to take his due credit for his toil.
DR. EDWARD D. DIMNENT The most impressive edifice on the c a m p u s , the Chapel was erected under the w o r k m a n s h i p of P r e s ident Dimnent. He raised the $400,000 tor the building, whose m a j e s t i c a r c h i t e c t u r e would cost well over $Ufe million to replace it today. It b e c a m e a tradition for Dr. Dimnent to relate the stories behind the stained glass windows of the chapel e a c h y e a r for the benefit of new s t u d e n t s and visitors. Conversations with " D i m m y , " as .he was fondly called, w e r e often m e m o r a b l e experiences in themselves. He was noted for his " s a g e bits of a d v i c e " and commonly repeated p h r a s e s , such as " t h a t ' s life." Students and professors alike cherished Dr. D i m n e n t ' s friendship. h i s i m m e n s e popularity speaking well for his personal worth. Dr. L u b b e r s concluded that "the s e c r e t of his g r e a t n e s s was tiiat h e grew to be the m a n whom the Creator intended him to b e . "

As a f r e s h m a n , I was very disappointed in the informality of the Nykerk Cup Contest S a t u r d a y evening. P e r h a p s I was misinformed, but I w a s under the impression that Nykerk was of a formal, dignified order. We, as a choral group, were instructed as to the i m p o r t a n c e of a m a t u r e app e a r a n c e and that we would be judged accordingly. Also, in conversing with u p p e r c l a s s m e n m y impression of formality was strengthened. However, I w a s really shocked when we filed into a noisy, rallying auditorium. I felt like I w a s at a basketball g a m e and the two t e a m s had just com e bounding onto the floor. Is this the atmosphere Nykerk is to have? I certainly hope not. I undestand a

n u m b e r of upper classmen did not or would not attend N y k e r k because of its loss of dignity. 1 was also disappointed in the sophomores' s p o r t s m a n s h i p . Isn't it traditional that both choirs meet in the middle of the floor? However, we F r e s h m e n had to walk over to the Sophomore side because they were so involved with their victory that they could not meet us. 1, for one, would like to have the traditions of Nykerk restored.

The recent inter-fraternity football g a m e between the Knicks and the F r a t e r s presented to the students in attendence an i m a g e of the f r a t e r n i t y m a n that is f a r removed f r o m that of the Hope College student. The exhibition, and it m a y rightly be t e r m e d that, brings to mind the question of the value of the f r a t e r n i t y system as a whole to Hope College. If this is an indication of the values being instilled in their m e m b e r s by t h e f r a t e r nities, it is, in m y opinion, t i m e
Rep)inled
to seriously consider the value of continuing the s y s t e m . Never in inter-fraternity athletics h a v e I witnessed such a vulgar, obscene and completely unsportsm a n l i k e p e r f o r m a n c e by the m e m bers of both t e a m s . Had the lang u a g e been of the c o m m o n four letter variety, it would h a v e been out of place at an e v e n t attended by the college c o m m u n i t y . However, the level of the l a n g u a g e used was absolutely obscene and left no question in the h e a r e r ' s mind as to its object or m e a n i n g . Accompanying this display of " C h r i s t i a n ? " spirit was w h a t appeared to be a total disrespect for all rules of s p o r t m a n s h i p . The obviously intentional b r e a k i n g of the rules did much to f u r t h e r the image of the f r a t e r n i t i e s â&#x20AC;&#x201D; f r a t e r nities which claim to help in the molding of a m a t u r e , responsible Christian adult. If this is their concept of m a t u r i t y and adult responsibility and even m o r e important, of a Christian, than I feel t h a t the t i m e h a s come to reconsider the f u t u r e of f r a t e r n i t i e s at Hope College.

One of the functions of the acad e m i c community is the assessm e n t of the c u r r e n t ideological scene. This m a y 'be difficult in t h a t the m a r k of the educated m a n includes both specific goals with respect to vocational pursuits as well as general goals r e g a r d i n g the well-informed and well-integrated man. My concern is with the l a t t e r a r e a of the ideological scene. Who is responsible for the assimulation do we know about d o g m a s and belief systems which o p e r a t e so ominously in our lives? How m a n y of us attain goals with respect to the " t r u t h that m a k e s m e n f r e e ? " How m a n y of us h a v e turned to science for models through which our ideas could be tested, only to fj r r? f^ov Hon't fit—or that in a r e s e a r c h f r a m e of r e f e r e n c e the
The
v a r i a b l e s prohibit either-or answers. Let's look at a few e x a m ples regarding the assimulation of ideological differences. One of the unsolved dichotomies of our time involves the rights of the individual versus the rights of the collective whole. Standing on the brink of the Great Society, it a p p e a r s that the individual sees his existence exclusively in the group. Identity and c o m m u n i c a tion a r e with those who think " r i g h t , " i.e., as we do. Our purpose, worth and destiny often s e e m to be seen in the collective whole. But we fail to ask, who h a s decided w h a t ' s right for the G r e a t Society. It a p p e a r s that we die r a t h e r r e a d ily for ideas and ideals t h a t we find it impossible to live for. The problems of alienation and isolation are frightening to the college student. The power of the collective whole h a s never s e e m e d g r e a t e r . In e v e r y a c t and behavior, however trivial, the individual m u s t by some ritual associate and c o n f o r m with some group. The universal cry, "you don't underst?n^ m e " nrecnnnoces under standing only through similarity of beliefs. We h a v e also used e x a g g e r a t i o n with Christian m a n d a t e s such as loving " o u r neighbor as o u r s e l f . " The p a r a d o x is that we s o m e t i m e s put God and our neighbors—individual and collective—above or better than ourselves. Loving oneself a p p e a r s to be difficult for m a n y individuals and the misin-
t e r p r e t a t i o n of this Christian dogm a m i g h t well contribute to the self-effacing, defensive individual who considers himself as running a "poor t h i r d " to God and his fellow m a n . The m a r k of the e d u c a t e d m a n is the integrated m a n who is not blinded and misled by undue allegiance to belief s y s t e m s and d o g m a s but r a t h e r assimilates and e v a l u a t e s . This is no m u n d a n e task. and. a f t e r all, the difference between open-mindedness and having holes in one's head, depends on the viewer.

LUJBLJANA, Y u g o s l a v i a - W o r l d War II w a s bad e v e r y w h e r e ; m a n y individuals and m a n y countries suffered dearly during that conflict. It is perhaps unfair to say that one country suffered m o r e than others, but this at least can be said of Yugoslavia; the m e m ory of suffering is very vivid and is still a m a j o r factor in almost e v e r y o n e ' s thinking. T h e r e are s o m e good reasons for this. F i r s t , not only w a s there intense fighting between G e r m a n s and Yugoslavs, but there were

He could c o n c e n t r a t e upon worrying about h i s wallet and his life. " T h e only other really new thing h a p p e n i n g in the city is the m a y o r .

large-scale conflicts between different factions within Yugoslavia, including groups of collaborators. Many of the dead and wounded suff e r e d not because of the G e r m a n s alone, but because of their fellowc o u n t r y m e n as well. Secondly, out of the intense, prolonged agony of the war w a s born a truly new Yugoslavia, different in its concept and rationale as well as its leadership, f r o m the a t t e m p t e d unity of the inter-war period. The b i r t h d a t e of t h e State r e a c h e s back only to the War, and it has a m e m o r y which in some w a y s is analogous to our idealization of the Revolutionary War which saw the birth of o u r Republic. Finally, the actual suffering w i s enormous. National capitulation b f the g o v e r n m e n t w a s quick; the r e s i s t a n c e m o v e m e n t w a s soon v e r y strong—at one point during the w a r , the P a r t i s a n s h a v e b e e n credited with tying up 19 G e r m a n divisions. Tito himself was wounded, as w e r e m a n y of his chief lieutenants, and h e w a s nearly c a p t u r e d . But the daring Resistance m o v e m e n t also s t i m u l a t e d f u r t h e r persecution and suffering. A visit to the " M u s e u m of the P e o p l e ' s Revolution" shows vividly m a n y of the atrocities c o m m i t ted by the G e r m a n s against the local population, although it is short on information about anti G e r m a n atrocities or actions by one group of Yugoslavs against another. On display, for instance, a r e dozens of posters put u p in G e r m a n and Slovene by the occupying authorities.
