Seven Gel Letters

Chapel Cutters Are Suspended By T o m Hi ldeb rand t a n c h o r Edi tor ia l Assistant

Seven Hope College students received letters Irom Dean of Stu-dents Robert De Young on Wed-nesday , suspending them f rom the College as of Feb. 19 because they failed to attend chapel as agreed u p o n when the Chapel Boa rd g ran ted them a n extension io m a k e up excessive chapel ab-sences accumulated d u r i n g the first semester.

According to Dean De Young, all seven had accumula ted m o r e than twelve cuts dur ing the first semester and had been g ran ted ex tens ions to m a k e them u p by the Chapel Board . The deadl ine was March 1.

" A L L WE ASKED was that they s h o w g o o d faith in the agree-ment . " said Dean De Young. "We knew that there were not e n o u g h chapel services for these s tudents to e r a se all their cuts. But if they at tended three or fou r t imes a week, we would know that they had learned their lesson, and that was all we were interested in. This ex tens ion system was not design-ed to th row students ou t . "

The Dean reported tha t the seven s tudents had attended chapel no m o r e t h a n once d u r i n g the first full week of classes. " I t became o b v i o u s that they were not l iv ing up to the ag reemen t , " he com-mented.

" I a l so felt that we were do ing the s tudents no f a v o r by letting them consciously ignore a Col-lege policy that they h a d known about since they entered H o p e . " He pointed out that most of the seven were in some kind of aca-demic difficulty.

D E A N DE Y O U N G left open the possibil i ty that these s tudents m a y have legitimate excuses. If they feel they do, they can appea l to the Chapel Board , he said .

On T h u r s d a y , the Dean repont-ed that this might be done in

two cases. One of the seven, H a r -old Wills, h a d received a letter, but had been fo rg iven of his cuts by the Chapel B o a r d in a mem-o r a n d u m dated Feb. 7 because of work responsibil i t ies. This in-fo rma t ion , said Dean De Young , was not c o m m u n i c a t e d to the com-puter, but will be corrected.

In ano the r instance, that ol Mike Mtney, the student is a R o m a n Catholic who c la ims to h a v e ap-plied for a n exempt ion at the end ol last semester on this g r o u n d . I ' p o n receiving the letter, Fi tney called Chape l Boa rd c h a i r m a n Dr. Klton Bruins , who could not recall receiving his appl ica t ion .

A L T H O U G H HP] IS uncer ta in whether Fitney had in fact ap-plied, Dean De Y o u n g admitted that he is eligible for an exemp-tion and that this would be In-vest igated.

Another recipient called the let-ter " u n w a r r a n t e d . " " T h e exten-sion stated that we were not to be called before the Chape l B o a r d until March 1 / ' he noted.

However , Dean De Y o u n g was quoted in last week's a n c h o r as say ing , "We don ' t h a v e to wait until March to find out how ser-iously they are l iving up to the agreement t iny m a d e with the

Chapel B o a r d . We've been liber-al in g r a n t i n g a second chance; now it's their t u r n . "

T H E L E T T E R stated that if the s tudents consulted William An-derson , Director of Accounting, he would m a k e a r r a n g e m e n t s for whatever re imbursements were due to them.

It h a s been pointed out that the letter, da ted Feb. 14. suspend-ed the s tudents as of Feb. 19. 11 the su spens ion became effective on the da te ol the letter, the stu-dent would be entitled to a n 80 per cent re fund . As it s t ands now, he is on ly entitled to a 60 per cent refund.

Dean De Y o u n g ' s letter s tated,

"We believe that we have given you every oppo r tun i t y to rein-state yourself , a n d for me per-sona l ly I am very d i sappoin ted that you did not take a d v a n t a g e of this o p p o r t u n i t y to r e m a i n at H o p e College.

" I f , after a semester ' s absence f r o m the c a m p u s , you h a v e a c h a n g e of hear t in r ega rd to the chapel a t t endance regu la t ion , we would be pleased to reconsider y o u r app l i ca t ion for read-m i s s i o n . "

The AWS is cons ide r ing the pos-sibility of e l imina t ing closing h o u r s for senior women.

The present system for seniors would be replaced with a key system fo r each girl who is g ran t -ed written pe rmis s ion by her parents .

F E E L I N G A N E E D for a no-h o u r policy, AWS enlisted the co-o p e r a t i o n of the Socio logy depart -ment, and sent a q u e s t i o n n a i r e to a p p r o x i m a t e l y 775 w o m e n stu-dents , who represented all f ou r classes. Of these, 3 0 3 quest ion-naires , 4 0 per cent, were re turned.

Ca ro l Schakel noted that the returned ques t ionna i res showed a 7.5 to 1 vote in f a v o r of no h o u r s for senior women.

T H E Q U E S T I O N "Wha te f f ec t s would a no -hour s policy h a v e on y o u ? " b r o u g h t the genera l reponse of an expected increase in responsibi l i ty felt by the girls . Almost un iversa l ly , the gir ls though t that their g r a d e s would r ema in the same; they stated that their s tudy habi ts h a d a l r e a d y been fo rmed . A s o p h o m o r e sa id . " If a girl can ' t control her g r a d e s by that time, there 's no use in helping her t ry . " M a n y girls felt that their g r a d e s might be i m p r o v -ed by increased time spent a w a y I rom the d o r m , e l imina t ing the m a d rush to go back to the d o r m before closing. One chemis t ry ma-jo r said that va luab le h o u r s spent in the lab had " g o n e down the d r a i n " because of a lack of time to conclude an e x p e r i m e n t , g i v i n g the male member s of the class a n u n f a i r a d v a n t a g e . "

H O W E V E R , SOME G I R L S stat ed that their g r a d e s would pro-b a b l y go down, either as a result of s t ay ing out later and gett ing less sleep or f r o m " inc reased noise in the d o r m at all h o u r s of the n igh t . "

M a n y w o m e n s tudents felt that no -hour s would be a big step in l e a rn ing responsibi l i ty . A senior commented that " 2 1 - y e a r old wo-men, who n e x t y e a r will have com-plete f r eedom, shou ld be respon-

sibly able to determine their own hours . If this college thinks g r a d -ua t ion is the instant step into responsible adu l thood , they are being not only naive, but endan -ger ing the potential of self-deVel-o p m e n t . "

A S O P H O M O R E said that the girls had to learn somewhere , " h o w to regula te o u r own h o u r s without the penal ty of late min-utes. What better place than in a somewha t superv i sed a t m o s p h e r e where people c a r e ? "

The idea that the p r o p o s a l would d e m o n s t r a t e trust by the college was often expressed. A jun io r stated that a policy " s h o w -ing trust and g i v i n g reponsibi l i ty more often p roduces the desired results t h a n d o restrictive ru les . " A senior said that she would ap-preciate " a little we l comef r eedom, and s o m e g o o d responsibi l i ty might be g o o d fo r us before we g r a d u a t e . "

I N A N S W E R TO the ques t ion " D o you feel that senior women are c a p a b l e of r egu la t ing their own h o u r s ? " on ly eleven s tudents lelt that sen iors were incapable of regula t ing their hours . The ma jo r i t y of the gir ls stated that by the age of 21, women a r e considered adu l t s and a re legal ly responsible for their actions. A f r e s h m a n sa id , "1 think gir ls should have h o u r s -- but not w o m e n . "

A j u n i o r s tated, "Most sen iors are 21, and a l t hough this age does not au toma t i ca l l y assure ma-turity a n d responsibi l i ty , it does mean that sen ior women are adult in the legal sense. Thus , it is s o m e w h a t r id icu lous for the Col-lege to restrict the hours of women who are legal ly old enough to vote. . . a n d p r o b a b l y m a t u r e e n o u g h to r u n a home of their o w n "

H O W E V E R , S E V E R A L w o m e n viewed the n o - h o u r s policy a s be-ing a bad idea for Hope. One senior stated, " I do not see a n y uses for this policy, except to t ake

By M a r k Rockley a n c h o r Reporter

There was one massive, echo-ing chant , "We want pan t s ! " and the Dutchmen were flying. Boys piled into the m o b f r o m every-where -- the first pan ty r a id in five years at H o p e College was in the mak ing .

" C O M E ON. Let 's get the f r a t s o u t . " The mob , which or ig ina ted f r o m Kollen Hall , moved t o w a r d s the Iraterni ty complex amid bois-te rous l augh te r a n d an t ic ipa t ing g igg les and chuckles . The Kollen g u y s were up for it, and the f ra t g u y s quickly c a m e down fo r it.

The b o y s g a v e a hearty cheer as they r a n past the stately Van-derWerf m a n s i o n . At the s a m e time, ac ros s l()th Street and down a mite, the gir ls were l ean ing out the windows in breathless antici-pa t ion .

T H E DORMS AND the 1 Resi-den t ' s h o m e s h o o k a little, t h o u g h , as , with a "We want pan t s ! " the " H o p e College m i n o r r i o t e r s " g o t on the road . Past Durfee a n d Gil-more , down to Dyks t ra they went. The guys were hot for it; the girls were hot fo r it; and most of the house mothe r s were hot a n d bo-thered.

"We want pan t s ! We want p a n t s ! " shouted 4 0 0 guys as they pacKed into the n a r r o w alley be-tween Oil m o r e and Dykst ra . There, they shouted a n d waited. Soon windows popped open, screens popped out and the g u y s popped in.

T H E N T H E RA'S appea red , ga l lan t ly f end ing off the f iendish boys . The g u y s moved into the gi r ls ' dormSj by the dozen all a c r o s s c a m p u s .

Meanwhile, outs ide , where the act ion was not a s hot, the gir ls were ga i ly w a v i n g their scanties.

The guys below panted feverishly as they waited for feminine con-t r ibu t ions to softly f loa t d o w n into their sna tch ing , g r a b b i n g , c lawing fists.

BY T H A T T I M E , there were m a n y g u y s in the s m o k e r in Dyk-s t ra and others in the halls. Not miss ing the m a n y c o m r a d e s left behind in Dyks t ra , the rest of the g u y s moved on to Phelps. First , they chanted a r o u n d the f ront side of the bui ld ing, but since demer i to r ious conduct was not h ighly respected by the RAs in Phelps, the girls were r a the r un-coopera t ive . So, t a k i n u a different

tact, the m o b m e a n d e r e d a r o u n a to the rear of the bui lding.

More than a score of g u y s climb-ed onto the root of the cafeter ia , but the m a j o r i t y were content to s tand and watch, feeling this was .i little over their heads. As the more a d v e n t u r o u s rushed to the windows, a g a i n screens p o p p e d out, but this t ime so did camer-as and f lash bu lbs , and the men were near ly b l inded by the sudden talent in por t ra i t p h o t o g r a p h y ex-hibited b y the women of Phelps.

As the i n f a m o u s Hope College pan ty ra id b e g a n , so it ended -in a f lash ol excitement.

A Party System?

Election Change Is Proposed Senate Passes Chapel, Social Life Proposals

By Tom Donia Assistant News Editor

A p r o p o s a l to change the method of electing Student Sen-ate officers will come before the Senate o n Monday . The new sy-stem would include the f o r m a t i o n of student "pol i t i ca l" par t ies and nomina t i ng procedures s imi lar to those used in the na t iona l elections.

U N D E R T H E TERMS of the p r o p o s a l , which was d r a w n up b y the Committee on Na t iona l and Social Awareness, a subcom-mittee of the Student Senate, 25 persons could be chartered as a pa r ty by the Senate s imply by submit t ing a signed petition. The part ies could be organized a r o u n d a central issue o r p la t fo rm, or they could center a round a can-didate or slate of candida tes for office. The char ter of each pa r ty would be renewable in the fall of each year b y re-submiSsion of a petition.

Any student wishing to run for a senate office would s imply form a par ty . The par ty could charge dues if it wished, but member sh ip would be required to r ema in open to all students.

T H E C O M M I T T E E IS propos-ing the new system in an effort to involve more students actively in the election process. Committee c h a i r m a n A1 Pedersen comment-

ed, "What we have worked up is what we believe to be the most workable and flexible w a y of achieving student involvement. The final quest ion of par t ic ipat ion is entirely up to the students them-selves. Success or fai lure of the p lan is up to the students, and does not really depend on the intricacies of the p r o p o s a l . "

Some aspects of the old system would be retained under the pro-posal . After each pa r ty h a s held a nomina t ing convention, or has in some way decided on a can-didate for office, a period of cam-pa igning would begin. This would be followed by a p r i m a r y election, s imilar to those held in the past. Two candidates would be selected fo r each office in the p r imary , and these candida tes would be given the oppor tun i ty to speak in the chapel. An al l -campus vote would follow.

T H E P O L I T I C A L P A R T I E S would have the opt ion of either d i sband ing after the p r i m a r y , or block-voting for ano ther pa r ty ' s candida tes if their own nominees a re not on the final ballot .

C h a i r m a n A1 Pederson pointed out one aspect which he consider-ed an a d v a n t a g e of the plan. " T h i s really gives the indepen-dents on campus a chance to pool their strength and be fair ly represented," he sa id . " I n fact,

Pete Smith asked that a com-mittee be created consist ing of students, faculty, admin i s t r a t ion , a n d Board of Trustees members , to study the social life on campus . This Blue R ibbon Committee could look into t empora ry hous-ing for a Student Un ion until the SCSC is constructed. The mot ion passed.

A mot ion was presented by Sen-a to r Dick Kooi which asks that a committee be o rgan ized to review the f inancial set-up of the student sphere of the college. His pu rpose in a sk ing for this committee is to look into the possibility of re-v a m p i n g the f inanc ia l system to be completely run a n d main ta ined by students. The mot ion passed and the subject will be looked at in greater depth by the Senate.

Mickey Luckey asked the Senate to pass a mo t ion which re-c o m m e n d s to the admin i s t r a t i on that students take par t in setting up the academic ca lendar . She proposed that this would m a k e it possible for the student view to be incorpora ted into the academic ca lendar . She felt it should be pub-lished one year in advance to not-ify students. The Senate passed this p roposa l , and it will now be b rough t to the adminis t ra t ion .

Five Students Ousted

Albion Drinking Stirs Debate A decision m a d e by the judicial

b o a r d of Albion College to sus-pend nine f reshmen for dr inking on c a m p u s h a s caused m a n y Al-bion students and faculty mem-bers to ques t ion the rights and responsibil i t ies of s tudents and the admin i s t r a t ion .

IN T W O S T O R I E S appea r ing in the Albion "P le iad , " it was reported that m a n y instructors and students felt that the methods which the Albion Adminis t ra t ion used to ob ta in in fo rmat ion f rom the students who were involved demons t ra ted that the College as-sumed extra-legal r ights and ex-hibited "unden iab le disrespect for due process of law as defined in the Const i tu t ion."

The nine f reshmen were charged with b reak ing the Albion dr ink ing rule after a head resident entered a s tudent 's r o o m and discovered four men d r i n k i n g inside.

The head resident said that he asked the s tudents if a n y o n e else

had been dr inking with them, since he saw six empty s ix-packs on the f loor and one empty pint of v o d k a in the closet.

"At this point in the proceedings accounts of events v a r y and ad-minis t ra t ive decisions lend them-selves handi ly to cri t icism," com-mented the "P le iad . "

T H E F O U R students caught d r ink ing in the r o o m implicated five more students after being quest ioned by the head resident. The five implicated students were then questioned at 1 a.m. and a g a i n at 4 :30 a.m.

Because of this and other me-thods which the admin i s t r a t ion used to obta in in format ion , some of the students involved accused the adminis t ra t ion of us ing un-reasonab le coercion to induce confessions.

"We were led to believe that if we confessed to the viola t ion, we might get off easy, but that ' s not the w a y things worked out , " one

student said. The Albion judicial b o a r d or ig inal ly gave the five students, who were implicated but not caught , the choice of withdraw-ing at the end of the semester or of being suspended at that time. After fur ther cons idera t ion , how-ever, the admin i s t r a t ion did an about-face and decided to allow these five to remain .

SEVERAL OF the students who were involved sa id that they were not told by the admin i s t r a t ion of a n y r ights which they had at the time they were caugh t or implicat-ed. This was the basic ques t ion in the Albion cont roversy . It has yet to be determined whether a student accused of b r e a k i n g col-lege rules has the same r ights before a college judicial court as a n American citizen has before an American court of law.

The H o u s e Sjjecial Subcommi t -tee on E d u c a t i o n decided Feb ru -a r y 9 to s end letters to President L y n d o n B. . Johnson, Selective Ser-vice Di rec tor Lewis B. H e r s h e y and to C h a i r m a n L. Mendel Ri-vers of the H o u s e Armed Services Commi t t ee " e x p r e s s i n g o u r deep c o n c e r n " a b o u t the effect of the cur ren t d r a f t l aw on g r a d u a t e schools .

Rep. Edith Green, c h a i r m a n of the subcommi t t ee , descr ibed the cur ren t p r o b l e m s of the d r a f t l aw faced by g r a d u a t e s c h o o l s as " in -t o l e r a b l e . "

J o h n F. Morse , d i rec tor of the A m e r i c a n Counci l on K d u c a t i o n ' s C o m m i s s i o n of Fede ra l Rela t ions , told the subcommi t t ee that the pre-sent d r a f t l a w l e a ves a " s t a g g e r i n g p r o b l e m " to univers i t ies to p ro-vide t e a c h i n g a n d g r a d u a t e assis-tan ts fo r u n d e r g r a d u a t e instruc-tion. He a l so pointed to the deficits m a n y ins t i tu t ions m a y face if com-m i t m e n t s fo r facul ty a n d facilit ies a r e m a d e f o r next yea r , a n d then g r a d u a t e e n r o l l m e n t s a re s h a r p l y reduced .

H a r v a r d Univers i ty President N a t h a n M. Pusey sa id that pre-sent ly the m a j o r w o r r y is the u n c e r t a i n t y for bo th the ins t i tu t ion a n d the s tudent .

Pusey e m p h a s i z e d that " w e d o n ' t r ea l ly k n o w wha t to expect . If we knew the rules of the g a m e , we cou ld be p r e p a r e d . These y o u n g men a l s o h a v e no idea whether they will go to g r a d u a t e s choo l o r not. 1 think it s h o u l d

be c lea red up i m m e d i a t e l y . " Pusey a d d e d that there is a severe s h o r t a g e of college t eachers

n a t i o n a l l y , a n d that in view of predicted e n r o l l m e n t s coup led with d r a f t i n g of g r a d u a t e s tuden t s " t h e r e is a d e s p e r a t e s i t u a t i o n . "

The subcommi t t ee a l s o h e a r d t e s t imony which indica ted tha t the in te r rup t ion of a g r a d u a t e s tuden t ' s e d u c a t i o n by the d r a f t could well ex tend b e y o n d two y e a r s because he wou ld not ne-cessar i ly be ab le to r e s u m e g r a d -

Wooster College Students Billed for Chapel Skips

By Ken Nienhu i s a n c h o r Repor te r

P a y to get out of c h a p e l ?

T h a t is o n e seeming ly fanc i fu l so lu t i on to a chape l c o n t r o v e r s y which is successful ly e m p l o y e d at the Col lege of Wooster in Ohio.

At Woos te r , chape l exercises a re conduc t ed fou r t imes weekly a n d each semester s tudents m a y l ega l ly m i s s 2 5 out of 5 5 of the m o r n i n g c o n v o c a t i c n s . T h e 26 th cut cos ts $ 5 a n d each success ive cut $ . 5 0 . F o r a b o u t $ 2 0 a semes-ter a s tudent c a n b y - p a s s chape l comple te ly .

One poin t tha t s h o u l d be men-t ioned, however , is that chapel at Wooster is not necessar i ly reli-g ious . A s p o k e s m a n in Woos t e r ' s Public Re la t ions d e p a r t m e n t s a i d that the poss ib le topics f o r a c h a -pel service a r e unl imi ted . T h e s p o k e s m a n s a i d that d u r i n g se-mes te r b r e a k o n e service f ea tu red a b a n d a n d w a s ac tua l ly label led a s a " f r e a k o u t . " Other p r o g r a m s h a v e focused o n socia l p r o b l e m s , polit ics, a n d o c c a s i o n a l l y even re l ig ion .

The p r o g r a m , which h a s been in effect f o r s o m e time, is well-received at Wooster . The PR s p o k e s m a n said that there h a s been no s tudent or facu l ty p ro-test and tha t the college chape l , where the services a re held, h a s p r o v e d too smal l to a c c o m m o -d a t e the l a r g e n u m b e r of s tuden t s w h o at tend the v a r i o u s events . Because of this, a sys tem of clos-ed circuit te levis ion h a s been in-t roduced .

P a y to get out of c h a p e l ? It p r o b a b l y w o n ' t be a d o p t e d at Hope , but the f i nanc i a l a d v a n -t ages migh t well be cons ide rab l e .

Custer's Last Conference

L I T T L E B I G H O R N , D a k o t a , J u n e 2 7 , 187 6 - - Gen.

"We h a v e the Sioux on the r u n , " Gen. Custer told me. "Of course , we still h a v e s o m e c l ean ing up to do , but the r e d s k i n s a re h u r t i n g b a d l y a n d it will o n l y be a m a t t e r of t ime before they g ive i n . "

" T h a t ' s g o o d news. Genera l . Of cou r se , there a r e people w h o are skept ica l a b o u t the m i l i t a r y br ief ings o n this w a r a n d they ques t i on if we're ge t t ing the ent i re t ru th as to wha t is rea l ly h a p p e n i n g h e r e . "

" 1 just would like to refer y o u to these latest b o d y counts . The Sioux lost 5 , 0 0 0 men to o u r 100. T h e y can ' t hope to keep u p this a t t r i t ion m u c h longer . We k n o w for a fact Sioux m o r a l e is low, a n d they are r e a d y to t h row in the towel ."

"Well , if they a re h u r t i n g so b a d l y . Gen. Custer , h o w do you e x p l a i n this m a s s i v e

" I t ' s a d e s p e r a t i o n m o v e o n the pa r t of Si t t ing Bull and his last d e a t h ratt le.

" W h a t a b o u t the fact that 19 I n d i a n s m a n a g e d to pene t ra te y o u r h e a d q u a r t e r s ? Doesn ' t tha t look b a d ? '

"We knew all a l o n g they p l a n n e d to penet ra te my h e a d q u a r t e r s at the I n d i a n L u n a r N e w Year. T h e fact t ha t we repulsed them after they held o n for o n l y six h o u r s is a n o t h e r e x a m p l e of how b a d l y the S ioux

" Y o u seem to be s u r r o u n d e d at the m o m e n t . G e n e r a l . "

" O b v i o u s l y the e n e m y p l a n s h a v e g o n e a f o u l , " Gen. Custer said . " T h e Sioux a re h o p i n g to win a b ig v ic tory so they' l l be ab le to h a v e s o m e t h i n g to t a lk a b o u t at the confe rence table. Look a t this latest b o d y count .

An aide came in a n d h a n d e d Gen. Custer a sheet of p a p e r . " I k n e w it," the g e n e r a l sa id . " T h e latest b o d y coun t shows they 've lost 2 , 0 0 0 m o r e I n j u n s in the last h o u r . They s h o u l d be s u i n g f o r peace at any t ime . "

" H o w m a n y did we lose. Gene ra l ? " " O u r losses were light. We only lost

Terkel Study Shows Urban Cross Section E d i t o r ' s Note : T h e a n c h o r review this week is wri t ten b y s o p h o m o r e C a r o l K o t e r s k i . She reviews "Di -v i s i o n Street: A m e r i c a " by S t u d s Terke i .

By C a r o l K o t e r s k i

After a y e a r ' s w o r k with peop le in C h i c a g o , S tuds Terkel compi l ed the text of " D i v i s i o n Street: Amer -i c a . " T h r o u g h the " P r e f a t o r y N o t e s , " the a u t h o r m a k e s c l ea r tha t the b o o k , which includes in-terviews with 7 1 C h i c a g o a n s , is not intended a s a s u r v e y .

The b o o k is not in tended to pre-sent a ce r t a in consis tent a t t i tude or image , r a t h e r "i t is s imply the a d v e n t u r e of one m a n , e q u i p p e d with t a p e r eco rded a n d b a d g e r e d by the i m p of c u r i o s i t y . " He is interested in p r e s e n t i n g the non -ce lebra ted people , in s e a r c h i n g f o r their t h o u g h t s a b o u t " t h e m s e l v e s , the society, the w o r l d . "

T H E T I T L E O F the b o o k , " D i -v is ion Street: A m e r i c a " is a p p r o -pr ia te to the a i m s of the a u t h o r . A l t h o u g h there is a Divis ion Street located in C h i c a g o , the title of the b o o k is m e t a p h o r i c a l , r e f e r r i ng to the c ross sec t ion of u r b a n cu l tu re which the a a t h o r tries to p r e s e n t

Terkel notes the del iberate omis -s ions he h a s m a d e in te rms of p e r s o n s interviewed. Fee l ing t h a t c l e r g y m e n , col lege p r o f e s s o r s , j o u r n a l i s t s a n d other wri ters al-r e a d y h a d the o p p o r t u n i t y a n d abi l i ty to m a k e their views k n o w n a n d felt, such p e r s o n s were not interviewed.

" H o m e o w n e r s , h o m e m a k e r s , l a n d l a d i e s , project dwellers, o ld settlers, new a r r i v a l s , skilled h a n d s , unsk i l l ed , the ret ired, the y o u n g , t h e ' h a u t m o n d e , ' the demi-m o n d e , a n d the sol id midd le m o n d e " are all included as Terkel p resen ts a c r o s s sect ion of u r b a n though t .

I N T E R V I E W S W E R E m a d e in all p a r t s of the city unde r m a n y different c i r cums tances . Terkel in-

terv iewed people w h o m he sat next to o n the bus , peop le he b u m p e d into o n the street, people he met in the r e s t a u r a n t ; all of these be-c a m e a p a r t of the b o o k .

In g a t h e r i n g his i n f o r m a t i o n , Terke l d i s c a r d e d the conven t ion -al ly conduc ted q u e s t i o n a n d an-swer m e t h o d of interviews. People h a d to be d r a w n in to c o n v e r s a -tion. C o n v e r s a t i o n s t o u c h i n g o n c h i l d h o o d were effective in b r ing -ing f o r t h the f r u s t r a t i o n s , the hopes , a n d the o b s e r v a t i o n s of the people .

I N H I S C O N V E R S A T I O N S Terkel noted that the V i e t n a m a n d the civil r i gh t s issues were of ten b r o u g h t up , a n d that mos t people d e m o n s t r a t e d deep feel ing on these issues. Deep p a s s i o n a n d wi l l ingness to d i scuss a l so a r o s e ove r the topic of a u t o m a t i o n . The q u e s t i o n of the B o m b g e n e r a l l y h a d to be in t roduced by Terkel . He felt that mos t people were rea l ly too awed a n d f r igh tened by this ques t ion to wil l ingly or c lear ly put their t h o u g h t s and feel ings into w o r d s . Most seemed s i m p l y i n c a p a b l e of c o m p r e h e n d -ing the issue.

Terke l a l so f o u n d that God was not a ques t ion which people sim-ply b r o u g h t up in the cou r se of the c o n v e r s a t i o n . Once b r o u g h t up , G o d w a s g e n e r a l l y a c k n o w -ledged but w a s some t imes rebuffed .

T E R K E L , A G A I N I N the ' Pre f a t o r y N o t e s , " o b s e r v e d a theme which r a n t h r o u g h m a n y of the in terviews. He o b s e r v e d the " c o p -o u t , " the feeling of " W h a t c a n I d o ? N o t h i n g , " the feeling which sees the i n d i v i d u a l ' s e f for t s a s futile a n d ins igni f icant .

Genera l ly , those v o i c i n g the feel-ing of i nd iv idua l futil i ty cal led fo r a g rea te r s h o w of n a t i o n a l s t r eng th t h a n did o thers . One of the fo rces Terkel s u g g e s t s as con-t r i bu t ing to the fee l ing of futi l i ty is the toix* of the m a s s m e d i a . He sees the m a s s m e d i a a s pay -

T H E I N D I V I D U A L in terv iews Terkel p resen ts are f a s c i n a t i n g a n d give s o m e insight into what pa r t i cu l a r people in p a r t i c u l a r a r e a s of life a r e t h ink ing . How-ever, there seems to be n o t h i n g which rea l ly unif ies the b o o k in-to a s ingle art ist ic whole. In find-ing a bas ic feel ing or tone in the b o o k , r e a d i n g o n l y a p o r t i o n of the work will give as m u c h in-sight a s r e a d i n g t h r o u g h the en-tire work . The interviews a r e in-terest ing but d isconnected .

A l though there a re ce r t a in ra-ther v a g u e themes which gener-ally recur t h r o u g h o u t the b o o k , such as a feel ing of i nd iv idua l futility, there a re people w h o pre-sent the o the r , m o r e posi t ive , side of the picture. As there a re those w h o feel that the city is d e c a y i n g a n d is cold a n d i m p e r s o n a l ; there a re those w h o see p r i m a r i l y the b r igh tnes s a n d the g o o d a n d the technical p r o g r e s s of the city.

The Powell Pushers By J o h n N i v a l a

Most people h a v e at one t ime received a visit f r o m cer ta in or -g a n i z a t i o n s which a r e c o n d u c t i n g h o u s e - t o - h o u s e c a m p a i g n s f o r their cause . I h a d t h o u g h t tha t I knew mos t of these g r o u p s , bu t I h a v e d i scovered t h a t there is a new en t ry in the field.

Last week, a m a n c a m e to m y r o o m col lect ing f u n d s for the C o m -mittee to Return A d a m C l a y t o n Powell. He w a s dressed in a white s u m m e r suit a n d a P a n a m a ha t . His col lect ion c o n t a i n e r l o o k e d v a g u e l y like a Cut ty Sa rk bo t t l e with the neck b r o k e n off. He b o u n d e d into the r o o m with a big smile .

" H I T H E R E . I 'm col lect ing m o n e y to he lp b r i n g A d a m C l a y -ton Powell b a c k to his p e o p l e . "

" A r e you s u r e they w a n t h i m ? " I asked . T h a t w a s a mis t ake , be-cause he ins tan t ly b e c a m e a n g r y .

"Of cou r se ! They love him. Why, he is their voice in Congress . With-ou t A d a m , their welfare is b e i n g

direct ly e n d a n g e r e d . They need h im to secure a n d protect their r i gh t s a n d p reven t g o v e r n m e n t a l w a s t e . "

" W E L L , T H E Y could elect an-o the r represen ta t ive . After all, isn't a v a i l a b i l i t y one of the p re requ i -sites f o r c a n d i d a t e s ? "

" T h e r e is n o o n e else! S o o n e r o r la ter e v e r y b o d y real izes that he is the on ly o n e w h o c a n be elected. He's been exiled by a r e a c t i o n a r y g r o u p of j e a l o u s pol-i t icians who de l ibe ra te ly a n d m a -l ic ious ly prevented h im f r o m t a k i n g his r igh t fu l seat in Con-g r e s s . "

" Y o u m e a n he tried to steal his c h a i r , t oo?"

" L I S T E N , BOY. don ' t get s m a r t ! By the w a y , d o you h a v e a n y re la t ives in De t ro i t ?"

" A h , no. Say , w h y a re y o u so-licit ing in H o l l a n d ? Why d o n ' t h is o w n people t ake c a r e o f h i m ? "

" T h e y are! T h e y ' r e collecting m o n e y to p a y off the f ine im-

" W E L L , MR. P O W E L L could-n't be in such b a d s h a p e . He did get r o o m , b o a r d a n d a few co ins f o r s p e a k i n g in C a l i f o r n i a the other week ."

" T h a t went t o w a r d l i v i n g ex-penses. P o o r A d a m is be ing ex-ploited by the people of Bimini . T h e y ' r e t a k i n g a d v a n t a g e of his exile to steal h im bl ind.

"

" Y o u r s t o ry h a s m o v e d m e , " I sa id a n d qu ick ly sl ipped a " Ron-ald R e a g a n fo r P res iden t " b u t t o n into his canis ter .

Hope Is Running a Religious Temperature By Rev. Will iam Hi l l egonds

Col lege C h a p l a i n

And what m a k e s a church-re-lated college hot o r cold or neither hot nor cold but rel igiously tepid? A tew weeks a g o , the s tudent b o d y rejected the idea of c o m p u l s o r y chape l by a vote of 2 0 0 plus " f o r " and 9 0 0 plus " a g a i n s t . " On the s a m e bal lot , the s a m e stu-dents endor sed a p roposa l that f r e shmen a n d s o p h o m o r e s be required to a t tend m o r n i n g chapel two d a y s each week a n d that j u n i o r and senior s tudents be g iven the right to attend or not at tend m o r n i n g worsh ip as con-science or mind or need or com-mitment or t r ad i t ion dictates. And this vote w a s a s conv inc ing! What does this s a y abou t the religious t empera tu re of Hope?

OR IS IT the length of Matil-d a ' s skirt o r how much of Jo-seph ' s neck one c a n see which suggests degrees of rel igious tem-pera tu re? If st), Hope gets an " A " ra t ing ( o r am I mi s judg ing a l u m n i feelings), for mini-skirts are in the minor i ty a n d the near-c a m p u s b a r b e r s still d o a good business with the residents of Kol-len Hall , the f r a t e rn i ty houses a n d the cottages.

Or is it the number of demon-s t ra t ions the student b o d y in-volves itself in which s a y s some-th ing s ignif icant a b o u t the reli-g ious life of a c a m p u s ? Do good Chr i s t i ans d e m o n s t r a t e like a Fa -ther ( i ropp i and C o m p a n y or does a m a r c h of a n y kind reflect negat ively on a m a n ' s rel igious pos ture? If the absence of a full-b lown, Milwaukee-like demon-s t ra t ion s a y s a college c o m m u n -ity is l aw-ab id ing , nice, respect-able, Chr is t ian; then Hope is all of these. The closest the s tudents came last year to " w a l k i n g " their fai th was the m o r n i n g a dozen or so of them strolled quietly out of the chapel before worsh ip h a d begun and then only after nine s tudents had called (one at three in the m o r n i n g because she couldn ' t sleep) to tell me that someth ing t ragic was about to

take place in Dimnent Memoria l . They d idn ' t want me to take of-fense. And they hoped God would unde r s t and .

A N D P E R H A P S the closest Hope students h a v e come this year to protest ing whatever stu-dents protest is their d i s r ega rd of c a m p u s s igns which read , " D o n ' t walk o n the g r a s s , " a n d the ciga-rette r emnan t s they d r o p on the l loor in VanRaa l t e Hall lobby .

What does this s a y abou t Hope ' s rel igious t empera tu re? Are thes tu -dents sa fe? d a n g e r o u s ? colorfu l? d r a b ? commit ted? uncommi t t ed? Are they sa in ts or s inners?

Bui e n o u g h ol this. Here are things which say to me that Hope College h a s not become p rod iga l rel igiously and that Jesus Christ is still very much in evidence on Hope ' s campus . He is here (how can we keep him a w a y ? ) , a l though he m a y have c h a n g e d the style ol robe he wore in 1902 or 1924 or 1930 o r 1949.

F I R S T , T H E R E is the Student Church . Kstablished d u r i n g Lent, 1966, the first w o r d s spoken to a Student Church c o n g r e g a t i o n took the torm of a public con-lession. " F o r g i v e my lack ol l a i th . " the C h a p l a i n intoned em-b a r r a s s i n g l y . The first service was held in Mulder Chape l of Western Theologica l Semina ry because il was fell thai Dimnent Chapel would be loo l a rge for a smal l c o n g r e g a t i o n oi S u n d a y worship-pers. Students were turned a w a y at the f ront d o o r that m o r n i n g because the ushers had no m o r e pew space or places on the chapel f loor for fo ld ing chairs . (Of course , the fact that Dr. Jentz preached the s e r m o n m a y have had someth ing to d o with the con-gestion. )

The services the next S u n d a y were moved to Dimnent Chapel and o n each S u n d a y m o r n i n g of the school year since, f r o m 5 0 0 to 700 a n d on occas ion even 9 0 0 s tudents h a v e met for c o r p o r a t e

REV. WILLIAM H I L L E G O N D S

worship . With a p p r o x i m a t e l y 1 100 students on c a m p u s week-ends and with a b o u t 100 of these worsh ipp ing in a r ea churches a n d with other students not yet dis-ciples of Jesus Christ and there-tore not interested in worsh ip , the percentage of s tudents wor-s h i p p i n g co rpo ra t e ly at Hope Col-lege on S u n d a y m o r n i n g is amaz -ingly high. And this at a time when s tudents on m a n y c a m p u s e s h a v e c o m e to see God as an " o b l o n g b l u r " and the church as some-th ing to "tip-toe a w a y f r o m . "

B U T T H I S I S N ' T the end of being religious, is it? There is m o r e t o b e i n g C h r i s t i a n t h a n l o o k -ing at the world t h r o u g h s ta ined-g l a s s windows or work ing out one ' s guilt or pra i se by occupy-ing twelve to fifteen inches of pew space on S u n d a y m o r n i n g . The word God addresses to his people in worsh ip is to be reflected u p o n fur ther in s tudy and is to be acted u p o n in the world whose Lord is Jesus Christ.

A most excit ing fea ture of the Student Church , therefore, is its

s tudy and ac t ion p r o g r a m . Stu-dents are invited to par t ic ipa te in nu r tu re g r o u p s whose p u r p o s e is to think t h r o u g h in s m a l l g r o u p s s o m e of the h a r d ques t ions and complex issues f ac ing the world of the 1960 ' s A.D. The theological ai}d social th rus t of a Bonhoeffer a n d Bar th and Billy G r a h a m are read a n d discussed.

A N D T H E A T T E M P T is m a d e to get the Student Church to see and feel the wor ld a r o u n d them as it is. Last year s tudents were asked to relate themselves in a tutorial setting to other s tudents at the ele-m e n t a r y level in a G r a n d Rapids ' ghet to c o m m u n i t y . Th i s yea r the s a m e at tempt is be ing m a d e in the City of H o l l a n d , k n o w n fa r and wide for its church bu i ld ings and tulips and cleanliness and sobri-ety a n d thrift iness a n d less for its deprived and a n g r y cu l tu ra l mi-nori ty . In add i t ion to this, last year $ 1 , 0 0 0 w a s contr ibuted by the Student Church to a n over-seas oppor tun i ty in India. Stu-dent field trips, m a d e possible by Student Church funds , were m a d e to Southern N o r m a l School, Brewton, A l a b a m a ; J a c k s o n Coun ty , Kentucky; a n d an " inner city p a r i s h " in New York City.

Does a lively c o r p o r a t e worsh ip service in which the worsh ippe r ' s theo logy is expressed li turgically and a p r o g r a m of g rowth and miss ion whose eyes are open to the world say a n y t h i n g about the rel igious t e m p e r a t u r e of Hope College?

DOES A C H R I S T I A N faculty? Now, don ' t m i s u n d e r s t a n d . There are facul ty m e m b e r s at Hope Col-lege w h o didn ' t cut their religious teeth on the Doct r ina l S t a n d a r d s of the Reformed Church in Ameri-ca. There m a y be facul ty members who se ldom, if ever , worsh ip with a c o n g r e g a t i o n of the Reformed Church in Amer ica . I would sup-pose that there are a few mem-bers of Hope ' s facul ty who sel-d o m w o r s h i p with a Chris t ian c o n g r e g a t i o n o n S u n d a y or any other time. Is it so s t r a n g e that the s t ruc ture of the church m a y also be in t roub le a m o n g a small minor i ty of the adul t member s of Hope ' s c o m m u n i t y of scho la rs and believers? Ii' this is the case in Newark or S a c r a m e n t o - in G r a n d Rapids , why not Hol land? This m a y be u n f o r t u n a t e but hard-ly less than expected. The ways and words of t hechu rch m a y leave a few faculty people cold or un-moved or un impressed or some-th ing else. And this gives others of us who cont inue to be " h o t " for the church and m o v e d by the minis t ry and impressed by its pa-

tience a n d love someth ing to ta lk abou t when cha t t ing with o u r s e p a r a t e d b ro thers . And some-th ing to listen to too!

However , I k n o w of no teacher at H o p e College who is wi thout p ro fes s iona l integrity or l ack ing in c o m p a s s i o n or who is uncon-cerned abou t a s tudent ' s acade-mic success or fa i lure or the stu-dent ' s b e i n g a s a person. Is this the r e a s o n a n o v e r w h e l m i n g num-ber of Hope s tudents sa id last y e a r that the place where their re l ig ious deve lopmen t received its greatest " p u s h " was in the class-r o o m ?

D O E S T H I S K I N D of facu l ty s a y a n y t h i n g abou t the re l ig ious t empera tu re of a college like Hope?

But let me be m o r e pe r sona l . Let me include why I think H o p e College is a place where Jesus Christ h a s not abdica ted his Lord-ship. F o r me this is to be seen or felt or h e a r d in the ques t ions which s tudents raise on the cam-pus. They p r o b a b l y aren ' t v e r y much like the ques t ions those of us who admit to be ing 39 ra i sed as late adolescents. The ques t ion no longe r is "Where was the Gar-den of Eden located?" It isn't " H o w can the head of an axe float on wa te r ? " It isn't " W a s Cain a b lack m a n ? " How academ-ic m y ques t ions were. How sterile. How mired in the past. How real ly unim por tan t .

IT 'S D I F F E R E N T today . The ques t ions I h e a r s tudents ra ise

a re b read-and-bu t t e r ques t ions . And more often t h a n not, stu-dents ra ise these ques t ions with a g o n y written on their faces. Thei r ques t ions h a v e to d o with their identity as persons , with a wor ld seemingly at w a r with the need for the ind iv idua l to mat ter , with vo-cat ion or where to serve their fel-lows a n d how to d o it. They h a v e to d o with whether it is poss ible to take Jesus Christ ser ious ly a n d r e m a i n sane in a wor ld geared for other things. As I view the mat te r , the t empera tu re of Hope College 's rel igion m a y not be determined by the na tu re of the answers pas sed f rom teacher o r pulpit to s tudents . ( T h i s does not m e a n , however , that answers are not given to stu-dents b y teachers a n d pulpi t . ) It m a y better be de termined by listening to the ques t ions s tudents are a sk ing m a n a n d God a n d world a n d with wha t intensity they p o u r out , for it m a y well be tha t t ruth comes only to the m a n or w o m a n w h o releases truth in his life by a s k i n g the ques t ion which penetrates at least to the f ront d o o r of t ruth .

Albion Smashed as Hope Nears MIAA B-Ball Title

By Pete Struck a n c h o r Reporter

Last Sa tu rday the F ly ing Dutch-men of Hope look one more giant step to the MIA A basket ball crown by h a n d i n g the Bri tons of Albion College their third conference loss, 84-68.

T H E D U T C H M E N really look-ed fine in the opening three min-utes as they leaped to a quick 11-0 lead. The Bri tons finally

started moving, but the Dutch mainta ined a double-f igure lead to 'he half, leading 46-31.

Strangely e n o u g h , the league 's two lead ing scorers , Hope's Floyd Brady and Albion 's Mike Wilson, were held to just 12 and 8 points respectively in the first half. Another surpr ise was the first half benching of Neil Warri-ner, Albion's " m o n s t e r m a n " at 6 foot 9 inches.

AT T H E S T A R T of the second half, the Britons began to p lay a smoother g a m e and it looked as if it might be a tight g a m e after all. But, just when Albion closed the g a p to 11. the Dutchmen came on s t rong a g a i n with the help ol fine outside shoot ing by Handy Adolphs and Gary Hyp-ma. Though Hope had a size-able lead th roughou t the contest, it never seemed that the game was won till the last two minuter, when Coach Huss DeVette g a v e his start-ing five a rest.

T H E REAL B R I G H T spot of the Albion team du r ing the second hall was Wilson, their 5 loot I 1 inches s o p h o m o r e g u a r d . In the final 20 minutes he d rove lor lay-

ups and pumped in jumpers f r o m outside for a total of nine baskets . Wilson entered Wednesday 's d u a l with C<Uvin with a league aver-age ol 27.7 points per game .

F o r the first time in ten games . B rady was edged out of being the lead ing scorer of the game. B rady had nine buckets and seven of nine free throws for 25 points to lead the Dutch. Leading the Bri-tons and all scorers was Wilson with 2 6 points.

It's that time a g a i n -- time to get psyched up for another Hope-Calvin basketbal l thriller.

But this time the game doesn' t really m e a n much. When the Fly-ing Dutchmen take the floor at Knollcrest Field house at 3 p.m. tomor row, they will have a l ready clinched, for all practical pur-poses, another MIAA basketbal l championsh ip .

HOPE, WITH A 7 1 record, is three full games ahead of Cal-vin, Albion, Adrian, and K a l a m a -zoo. all of whom are tied for second place with 4-4 records.

One canno t flatly say. however, that Ho|)e will not be " u p " for t omor row af te rnoon ' s battle. Hope-Cidvin games are a lways bitterly-fought skirmishes , even when they don' t really mean any-thing in the championsh ip race -a rare occurrence. For one thing, this will be the last Calvin game^ in the career of the a m a z i n g Floyd Brady - and don' t be surprised if F loyd b r e a k s his s ingle-game ca-reer high of 44 points in tomor-row's game .

ALSO. IT WILL BE the final Calvin c lash for one-time Calvin student G a r y Hypma, who has scored 44 points in his last two Calvin games .

Many people feel that if the Dutchmen d o win. it will be an upset, ( ' a lv in is extremely tough at home, where it is aided by a pa r t i s an crowd of almost 4 , 5 0 0 for every game. The Knights a l so

Hope Wrestling Team Loses To Defiance in 12-5 Decision

By Jim Becker ing ancho r Reporter

Hope ' s wrestling team ended its regu la r season on the s a m e note it started as they lost to De-fiance 21-5 last Sa tu rday at Car-negie G y m n a s i u m .

It has been a f rus t ra t ing season for George Kraf t in his first sea-son as wrestling coach for the Dutch. His wrestlers have d r o p p e d ten meets in a row, including four to conference opponents .

Last S a t u r d a y ' s meet got off to an unusua l s tart , a sbo th teams forfeited the lower weight classes. There were no matches at 123. 130 or 137. as neither team had any eligible part ic ipants . Thefi rs t match of the meet was in the 145 pound class where Bill Cook w a s pinned by his more experienced opponent .

The matches at 152 and 160

were the closest of the meet. Fresh-men Carl Nado l sky and Tom Vickrey both lost b y decisions to their opponents .

The match ended with three con-secutive pins. Sophomore George Avery at 167. and J u n i o r Hick V a n d e n b u r g at 177 were pinned, but the match ended on a bright note as f r e s h m a n heavyweight Keith V a n Tubergen easily hand-led his m a n . Van Tubergen has had the best record on the team this year and m a y have a bright future ahead .

This Sa tu rday the Dutch will travel to E a r l h a m College where they will part icipate in the Great Lakes Colleges Associat ion meet. The chances of a winning team pe r fo rmance are not good but the meet provides an excellem oppor -tunity for the wrestlers to gain in-dividual recognition.

South Vietnam are b rac ing /i themselves for what might be

more of the same in the long month of F e b r u a r y .

Many of the basic premises of \ American s t ra tegy have come •: into quest ion d u r i n g the past

weeks, including the contention y of the J o h n s o n Adminis t ra t ion v that the jX'ople of South Viet-

nam could g r a d u a l l y be given security, and that eventually enough enemy t roops could be killed to disrupt their chal lenge to the government in Saigon. Only a few such m a j o r assaul ts

Fol lowing the President's comments came the announce-ment by the Pentagon that an addi t ional 10.500 men will be deployed " for insurance pur-poses" in Vietnam.

the efforts by the I ' .S. to recover the N a v y intelligence ship Pueb-lo and her 8 3 - m a n crew, seized by North Korea ' s patrol craft nearly four weeks ago. have in-troduced new irritants in the delicate re la t ionship between Washington and its South Ko-rean ally.

The essence of the South Ko-rean complaint is that Wash-ington has entered into deli-cate negot ia t ions with the Nor th K o r e a n communis ts , the dead-ly enemy ol the Seoul govern-ment, without due regard for South Korea ' s interest where a n y deal ings with the Nor th K o r e a n s are concerned.

The South Koreans have felt that the U.S. was fa r more con-cerned over the humi l i a t ing loss

ol the l\iel)lo and her crew than over the determined Nor th *v K o r e a n subvers ion p r o g r a m which Seoul believ es is intend-ed to turn South Korea into v another Vietnam. j

Hope 's Fly ing Dutchmen, with three players scor ing over 20 points, blitzed the second-place Adr i an Bul ldogs Wednesday night. 105-82. to lake a 3 - g a m e lead in the M1AA race.

S E N I O R F L O Y D BRADY put on a 36-point pe r fo rmance for the Civic Center crowd to b reak Warren Vander Hill 's all-time Hope College single season scor-ing record. The old mark was 545 , but F a b u l o u s F loyd now h a s 561 with five games left on the schedule.

Senior g u a r d Gary Rypma and jun io r center Bruce V a n Huiseach poured th rough 22 marke r s . Ryp-m a . whose 22 points came all on field goals , was equa l ly hot f r o m the corner as well as on drives. Van Huis. whose 22-point eve-ning was his s ea son high, dis-played a hot hand f r o m the cor-ner as well as hitting several pretty hooks .

T H E VISITORS TRADED bas-kets with the Dutchmen th rough-out much of the first half, with g u a r d s John Cosnek and Kim Hank both scor ing well f rom out-side. The Bulldogs held a 32 -29 lead with just under five minutes left in the half.

However, a tip-in by Van Huis, a 15-foot t u r n - a r o u n d jumper by Brady , and a fast b reak l ay -up by Brady quickly shot the Dutch-men into a 35-32 lead, which was never relinquished. A six-point

edge was reached when Van Huis hit a pair of free throws, a n d af-ter Rank ' s j u m p shot f rom the corner made the score 39-35. Van Huis responded with a 10-footer and Rypma added a l ay-up to give Hope a 43-35 a d v a n t a g e .

A F T E R C O S N E K P O T T E D a j u m p e r f rom the corner . Dave Utzinger d rove in for a lay-up

which made it 45-37 at inter mis sion. Pacing Hope at this point were Brady with 17 and Hypma with 16 points. Cosnek led the Bulldogs with 9 tallies, while Rank and A1 Werbish both had 6.

I he second half opened with quick baskets by Hank and Vino? Giles, cutting Hope ' s lead to 4 5-41. Baskets b y Van Huis, Bill Bekkering, and Brady gave Hope ano ther 8 - p o i n r m a r g i n at 51-43, but Adr ian c a m e right back on buckets by Cosnek and Hank. The s tubborn Bul ldogs stayed within four points until B r a d y ' s three-point p l ay gave Hope a 67-59 lead with 11:23 left.
