Administration Will Examine

Clinic Expansion Possibility By George A r w a d y

Dean of Men Robert De Young , in consul ta t ion with local physi -c ians , will submi t a p ropos i t i on to the Admin is t ra t ive Council which calls for a n e x p a n s i o n of the services of the college heal th clinic.

MOST S T U D E N T S seem to agree that the present facilities are inadequa te a n d shou ld be e x p a n d -ed. For ty of the 4 5 s tudents ques-tioned suggested s o m e type o f improved service.

The college c a t a l o g states, " F r e e clinic service consists of a n e x a m -inat ion by the phys ic ian when a student repor t s for illness, a n d the admin i s t r a t i on of o r d i n a r y medi-cines." The ques t ion is whether the clinic shou ld go b e y o n d these services.

The clinic is open every d a y of the week f r o m 9 a .m. to n o o n and f rom 1 p .m. to 5 p .m. except Sunday . The services of Dr. Wil-l iam Kools , a local retired physi-cian, are a v a i l a b l e 9 - 1 1 a .m. M o n d a y t h r o u g h F r i d a y .

The p ropos i t ion , submit ted as a response to a request by the Student Life Commit tee for an eva lua t ion of the clinic's services, calls for " c o m p r e h e n s i v e clinic facilit ies" which " w o u l d serve the college p o p u l a t i o n 24 hou r s da i ly , 3 6 5 days a y e a r . "

The p ropos i t ion suggests that a g r o u p of " th ree o r f o u r " genera l pract ic ioners hold a .m. and p.m. clinics of a b o u t 2 1/2 h o u r s each M o n d a y t h r o u g h F r i d a y . Between clinic hours and on weekends pa-tients would be seen either in the clinic or in the doc to r ' s office and house calls would be m a d e when

deemed a d v i s a b l e by the physi-cian on call.

I N - P A T I E N T ( A R E at the cli-nic, a b a n d o n e d two y e a r s ago , would be reinstituted a n d da i ly ca re g iven to the patients. The p r o p o s a l h a s p r o v i s i o n s for im-p r o v e d facilities for the t reatment of athletic injuries and includes a floor p l a n for a grea t ly en la rged and i m p r o v e d clinic bui ld ing.

The o b v i o u s d r a w b a c k of the p r o p o s a l is the cost. The retainer fee for the phys ic i ans a lone would come to a p p r o x i m a t e l y $ 2 0 , 0 0 0 per year . 1 his fee would not cover the costs of e n l a r g i n g the clinic bui ld ing, p a y i n g the rest of the staff each yea r , or for n o r m a l day- to -day o p e r a t i n g costs.

Presently the clinic opera tes on a yea r ly budget of $21,000— $ 4 , 0 0 0 of which is offset by stu-dent p a y m e n t for v a r i o u s medical supplies. The p r o p o s a l sugges ts that it wou ld " b e wise to c h a r g e s tudents $ 1 0 per semester to help de f r ay medical expenses" and noted that " m o s t colleges follow this p rac t i ce . "

Students were divided when ask-ed if they would be willing to p a y for improved services. Those who had used the clinic in the past general ly f a v o r e d improvement , even 11 it would cost them m o r e each semester . " I ' d ra ther p a y m o r e to get better serv ices ," ex-plained j u n i o r Susan Helgesen. " N o b o d y would object to pay -ing , " observed f r e s h m a n Myrtie \ e r e b , if they got better medical a t t en t ion . "

in the lali ol 1964, the center was conceived a> being devoted entire-Is to the needs of the out-of class-ronm life ol the student. This iu iu t ion has been somewhat com-promised .

Some, however , feel that this c o m b i n a t i o n is not ideal. Accord-ing to Dean De Young , it was hop-ed that the academic and recre-a t ional facilities of the bu i ld ing would be archi tec tura l ly separa t -ed. However , he said that the s t ruc ture is such that the acade-mic facilities a re set a p a r t f rom the social facilities. F o r example , the r e a d i n g r o o m is s i tuated next to the art exhibi t ion r o o m , he noted.

When asked why academics were combined with recreat ion. Student Senate president Gene Pearson, a m e m b e r of the plan-ning commit tee, said, " T h e r e are two aspects to the new center. One is to unite the student body in a centralized place to fulfill the ba-sic needs of the college c o m m u n -ity, a n d the other is a pract ical c o n s i d e r a t i o n . "

T H E A D M I N I S T R A T I O N hopes that cons t ruc t ion of the cen-ter will be begun by spr ing or ear ly summer . However , Clarence .1.

O N T H E DAY of his death Ra-dio Hano i conf i rmed this invita tion in a b r o a d c a s t which sa id : "We a re author ized to conf i rm that the statement by the Rev. A. .1. Muste in his press conference of .Ian. 24 b r o a d l y reflects the President 's i dea . " There h a s been no comment f rom the White House.

Rev. Muste 's life w a s one of action, f rom his d a y s at Hope College to his death. In his vale-dic tory a d d r e s s in 1905, he b e g a n by s ay ing :

" T h e inevitable fruit of all life and p rog res s is d issa t is fact ion a n d unrest. Over the dull clod b r o o d s abso lu te contentment. In-fuse life into it, let it p r o g r e s s but a little, and in silent, migh ty rest-lessness it s t ruggles up f rom the d a r k ear th , a n d g rows into leaves and b ranches , flowers a n d f ru i t . "

With this view of life at the age of 20, he concluded:

" T H E E T E R N A L U N R E S T o f h u m a n i t y and the discontent of the soul u rge men to act ion, and in action is the principle of all p r o g r e s s on the par t of the race and the ul t imate w a r r a n t of peace to the ind iv idua l . T h u s does life's simplest law s u m m o n us to the conflict. Therefore -- the battle! until each wea ry soldier file a w a y to where: 'Beyond these voices there is peace . ' "

1 hose words , which a p p e a r e d in the a n c h o r in 1906, could h a v e been his in 1967 as well. Rev. Muste himself commented when a nephew sent him the speech 30 y e a r s later, " I was as tonished at wha t it foretold of my life."

His pacificism was one of ac-tion, and he was called to it when World War I b roke out. He re-s igned as p a s t o r of the Central

Congrega t i ona l Church in New-ton, Mass. , and b e g a n p r each ing "Chr i s t crucif ied" a n d urged his fol lowers to " m a k e up y o u r mind and act, while act ion will h a v e some m e a n i n g . "

He soon became involved in the l a b o r movement , shelved the church , became some th ing of a Trotskyi te , and adop ted what he called the "Marx i s t -Len in i s t " po-sition. One l a b o r leader recalled the y e a r s that Rev. Muste spent in picket lines and in jail in the

It is hoped that construction of the new center will be underway by spring or early

summer, and that funds from the Reformed Church in America will be available at that time.

" 1 turned to the fellow next to me and asked him who it was. He said: ' I t ' s Muste.'

" 'Used to be a preacher , ' said the fellow next to me, 'before he went s t ra ight . ' "

Rev. Muste spent 20 years in the l a b o r movement and then pulled out, re turning to thechurch and to God " to whom we do never turn until we have tried every th ing else," as he said it. His l a b o r colleagues bade him g o o d b y e with chari ty: "Once a Christer, a lways a Chris ter ."

HIS WORK S I N C E 1937 has been channeled into the Fellow-ship of Reconciliation, a pacifist o rganiza t ion . He has preached insistently that " w a r does not b r ing peace, it merely breeds more w a r . "

Al though he has been called the " A m e r i c a n G a n d h i " and been a w a r d e d the Gandh i Peace Prize, his commitment to active paci-fism has landed him in jail, b rough t forth eggs f rom an a n g r y Sa igon mob, and led him to scale the fence of a missile base in Mead, Neb.

His activism and t ra in ing for the life he w a s to lead began at Hope where he won the Michi-g a n ora tor ica l contest, capta in-ed the state basketbal l c h a m p s f r o m Hope, and edited the anchor . He attended New Bruns-wick and Union Seminaries, and has served Reformed, Presbyter-ian, Congrega t iona l , and Q u a k e r churches.

HE LIVED A N D DIED believ-ing in a miracle -- the miracle of sa lvat ion. In his credo in 1950 he said: " N o w to say that the non-violent revolut ion, d iv ine-human society, can be realized on ear th is to assert the possibili ty of mir-acle. That is precisely what I mean to asser t ."

Hope has bestowed 124 Doctor of Divinity degrees upon people who h a v e shown "dis t inguished services to Chris t iani ty o r to Chr is t ian p h i l a n t h r o p y beyond the limits of a s ingle locality, cou-pled with intellectual gifts and mora l qua l i t ies . "

A L O N G W I T H T H E intellec tual gifts and m o r a l qualit ies, the 51 recipients of the Doctor of Laws degrees have exhibited "dis-t inguished services to the state, to learn ing , or to m a n k i n d . " "Dis-t inguished services to letters, art, music, or educa t ion" have wa r r an t ed 11 Doctor of Litera-ture degrees and 16 Doctor of Science degrees for "dis t inguish-ed services to science." Hope has also a w a r d e d three Doctor of Hu-manit ies degrees and two Doctor of Music degrees.

A m o n g those people recognized in the fo rma l ce remony in which the President of the College reads and presents the h o n o r a r y citation, have been: President The-odore Roosevelt (LL .D . ) in 1901, Princess Ju l i ana (LL.D. ) , now Queen of the Nether lands ; Dr. Wil-liam J. Potts (D.Sc.) , known for his research concerning the blue baby ; G. J. Diekema (LL .D. ) , a U.S. A m b a s s a d o r to the Nether-lands; Sen. P^verett M. Dirksen (LL.D. ) .

The h o n o r a r y doctorate , said President VanderWerf "is the high-est degree that can be awarded , the highest distinction that Hope can p a y . "

CASTLE PARK AMPHITHEATER—Now covered with snow, the am-

At Castle Park Amphitheater " T h e C l o u d s " by Aris tophanes ,

a piece of exper imenta l theater by Hope College students, is to be per formed the second week in May in the amphi thea te r at Castle Park .

The u n d e r t a k i n g will be entirely run b y students, a n d Michael Vo-gas, Hope senior f r o m New York, will serve as director. Proceeds will go for the new theater in the p roposed student center.

HOPE S T U D E N T Robert Schwegler has d o n e research foi the p l a y at the Universi ty of Buf-falo L i b r a r y and is compi l ing an annota ted b i b l i o g r a p h y on sourc-es re la t ing to Greek d r a m a dances, and theory of Greek pro-duction. Also, Vogas is presently co r r e spond ing with Dr. William Arrowsmith at the Universi ty of Texas and is receiving a d v i s o r y notes f rom him.

The p lay itself was written by Ar i s tophanes in 4 2 3 B.C. Con-sidered by some to be the most f a m o u s of all Greek writers of comedy, Ar i s tophanes bases " C l o u d s " on a social theme th rough which he a t tacks contem-p o r a r y educat ion and mora l s of his d a y as taught by the sophists.

According to "Br i t ann i ca En-cyc loped ia , " " C l o u d s " yields va luab l e in fo rmat ion about So-crates in his middle forties when a l lowance is m a d e for the p l a y ' s being essentially a burlesque.

" He directed St. Vincent Mil lay 's "Ar i a de C a p o . " Vogas has a l so served as l ight ing designer, in va r ious s tage posts , and as tech-nical ass is tant to the designer-in-residence, Richard Bianchi, this past fall.

This will be the first time in the his tory of Hope College that it has used the Castle Park amphi -theater. Pe r fo rmance dates h a v e been set for May 11, 12, and 13. The amphi thea te r , in a na tu ra l

bowl setting at the foot of the p a r k hills, was erected in 1922 in m e m o r y of F lo ra Pennell Par r , who, with her h u s b a n d , establish-ed Castle Park in 1876.

Dean De Young doubted

whether the school could af ford " a s e labora te a se t -up" as the one outlined in the p r o p o s a l being sent to the Adminis t ra t ive Coun-cil. He did see a possibili ty, how-ever, of " a c o m p r o m i s e between the propos i t ion and what we have now."

Most of the s tudents questioned f avored a return of in-patient care and the more frequent presence of a physic ian. "A pe r son doesn ' t p lan what hour o r d a y he'll be

sick and need medical a t tent ion," noted Kim Jones.

Students general ly recognized that the clinic presently is operat-ing under less than ideal condit ions.

Circuit Judge Haro ld R. Me-dina reversed the previous de-cision while admi t t ing the "ex-t reme" reluctance of federal courts to interfere with draf t boa rds , even when they exceed their powers as clearly as they did in this case.

Langstraat Presents Senior

Recital Tuesday in Chapel

LARRY TER MOLEN JOHN TYSSE

Spring Trips Encounter Alabama, Kentucky, NYC

The Student Senate in connec-tion with the Student Church , is p l ann ing student trips du r ing spr ing b reak to Bruton, Ala., Ann-ville, Ky., and New York City.

The p u r p o s e of the p r o g r a m , which is an expans ion of a simi-lar p r o g r a m initiated last spr ing , is to give the students who par-ticipate a chance to become in-volved with the people of these cities and to give them a clearer unde r s t and ing of people f rom dif-ferent social and economical back-g rounds , sa id Shirley i.a w re nee, co-ord ina tor of the project.

T H O S E P A R T I C I P A T I N G will leave by bus on March 25 and will spend a week liv ing with and ob-serving the living condi t ions of the people.

The p r o g r a m this year is being financed by the Student Church. The students who par t ic ipated last year were required to p a y their own expenses, which limited the number of those who could par -ticipate. The Student Church , by s u p p o r t i n g the p r o g r a m , hopes to allow those who are deeply in-terested in the p r o g r a m , to par -ticipate.

T H I S YEAR, accord ing to Jim Suther land , a member of the trip committee, a special weekend pro-g r a m will also be initiated for those who are unab le to go for an entire week. Special trips to K a l a m a z o o State Mental Hospi-tal will be m a d e for ihe p u r p o s e of m a k i n g the par t ic ipa t ing stu-dents a w a r e of the p rob lems of such hospi ta ls , a p roblem which

is very often over looked by people today .

A g r o u p of 6 students will be selected for the trips to Bruton and Annville while 15 students will be sent to New York City. Those who are interested should ask for an appl ica t ion f rom either Miss Lawrence or Suther land.

Gloria Langs t r aa t , an o r g a n ma io r , in conjunct ion with the Music Department , will present her Senior Recital next T u e s d a y at 8 :15 p.m. in Dimnent Memor-ial Chapel.

The first number in the pro-g r a m will be "R ice rca r A r i o s o " by the sixteenth century Italian compose r Andrea Gabrieli.

Bach 's " T w o Schubler Organ Chora les" , Wer nur den lieben Gott lasst , ' and 'Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme,' will follow next.

Other selections included in the p r o g r a m will be "Pre lude and Fugue in G Minor" , by Dietrich Buxtehude and " Introduction and Trumpet Tune No. 1 in I) Minor" , by William Boyce, an eighteenth century English composer .

Oliver Messiaen's " L e Banquet Celeste", which t ransla ted reads the Celestial Banquet , precedes the concluding selection by Louis Vierne.

This number was dedicated by

the compose r to Henry Willis, the great English o r g a n builder. This toccata, " C a r i l l o n de Westminster, in the g r a n d French style makes use of the Westminster bell changes as a ma in theme in the number .

Miss L a n g s t r a a t has been study-ing under Roger Davis for the last four yea r s and p lans on d o i n g g r a d u a t e work in church music.

Chemist Hope to

Dr. Ralph G. Pearson, professor of chemistry at Northwestern Un-iversity, will present a series of lectures on c a m p u s on M o n d a y and Tuesday .

On Monday a f te rnoon at 4, Dr. Pearson will speak in Physics-Math 118 on the subject " H a r d and Soft Acids." "Crys t a l Field T h e o r y " will be the topic of a 9 :30 a.m. lecture on Tuesday and the final lecture will be given at 4 that af ternoon on the " Kinetics of Fas t Reactions." The latter two presentat ions will be in room 2 0 8 of the Science Hall.

Dr. Pearson has au thored three b o o k s deal ing with his research, was a Guggenheim Fellow in 195 1-52 and won the Midwest Award Medal for his research in 1966.

The visit is sponsored by the American Chemical Society and is financed by the Nat iona l Sci-ence Foundat ion .

mitted freely to express its views." The two students were or iginal ly

members of a g r o u p of 16 who protested the war in Vietnam by sitting-in at an Ann Arbor draf t board . All 16 were re-classified 1-A.

That seemed to be final, since draft b o a r d s have considerable discretion, especially over student deferments. According to Life Magazine, "A draf t registrant has no right to counsel when he ap-pears before his local b o a r d ; he can appeal his classification to higher b o a r d s , but not to federal cour ts . "

Peters Lectures Ou Ecumenical Movement

The first in a series of six lec-tures deal ing with the history of the ecumenical movement f rom the first century will be presented next Tuesday by Dr. Robert Pet-ers, associate professor of history, in room 117 of the Physics-Math Building.

The first lecture will be entitled " U n i t y and Diversion in the Ear-ly Church . " The lectures, given in joint coopera t ion of the history and religion depar tments , will be given on successive Tuesdays in the s ame room. There will be no admiss ion charge .

Subsequent lectures in the series will be: Medieval Unity: Reality or Myth? Feb. 28; " E c u m e n i c a l " Reformers, March 7; Trent to Ed-inburgh , March 14; Ed inburgh to Vatican II, March 21; Ecumeni-cal Theology, April 11.

How High the War

W A S H I N G T O N - Everyone knows the Viet w a r is costly, but no one realized how costly, until the other d a y when the Washington Post revealed that it costs $ 3 3 2 , 0 0 0 to kill one Viet Cong. The writ-er ar r ived at his figure by t ak ing the monthly a v e r a g e of enemy killed and di-viding it by the month ly cost of the war , which now seems to be runn ing at a ra te of $1.7 billion.

If these f igures a r e correct, it would take $332 million to kill 1,000 of the enemy and even if we found a divis ion of N o r t h Vietnamese soldiers we wouldn ' t h a v e the funds to des t roy it.

It is obv ious that if we want to h a v e both guns a n d butter in 1967, we're g o i n g to have to cut down thecost of knock ing off the Viet Cong.

B E T T E R B R A I N S than 1 h a v e been work ing on the p rob lem, and while no de-cision has been made , these are a few of the sugges t ions that the experts h a v e come up with.

It has been p roposed that instead of bombs , Amer ican planes d rop new auto-mobiles that have been called in for de-fects on the s u b u r b s of Hanoi . Once e n o u g h cars have been d ropped , the Nor th Vietna-mese would proceed to kill each other on their own h i g h w a y s (p rov id ing we don ' t destroy the h ighways ) . The m a i n va lue of this p lan , besides el iminating the enemy, is that it would solve the problem of what the United States should do with its unsafe cars .

Another project that is being given close s tudy is to d r o p pamphle t s on N o r t h Viet-nam and Viet C o n g zones offering a n y o n e who deserts to o u r side a $25 ,000 home, free educa t ion for his children, color tele-vision a n d a pa id-up membersh ip in the country club of his choice.

This would come to f a r less t h a n $ 3 3 2 , 000 and would certainly be a great p r o p a -g a n d a victory for our side.

If the Viet C o n g deserter prefers , we could give him a numbered b a n k account in Switzerland so Ho Chi Minh would never find out abou t it.

S T I L L A N O T H E R sugges t ion is that the United States build Amer ican- type fac-tories all a l o n g the Nor th -Sou th Vie tnam border . The s m o k e f rom the factories , with the help of a p reva i l i ng sou theas te r ly wind, would pollute the a i r of N o r t h Vietnam and the C o m m u n i s t s would s lowly expire . It might take a little longer t h a n other m e t h o d s of e l iminat ing the enemy, but the factor ies could be m a k i n g war mate r ia l s , so all the effort would not be wasted.

This is a little fa r out a n d would requi re a g rea t deal of coo rd ina t i on , but there are supposed to be quite a few Amer i can d ra f t dodge r s in C a n a d a . In e x c h a n g e for an amnes ty we would p e r s u a d e them to g o to Hanoi , and they could teach N o r t h Vietna-mese students how to a v o i d their d ra f t . If there were e n o u g h Nor th Vie tnamese draf t d o d g e r s who would refuse to fight, we could save several billion do l l a r s a year .

N o idea is too far-fetched in time of war , and one that is a l so being cons idered h a s to do with giving out " c o n t r a c t s " to cer ta in people in the Amer ican unde rwor ld . The go ing rate in the unde rwor ld to wipe out s o m e b o d y is $25 ,000 .

The idea would be for the United States to m a k e a " c o n t r a c t " with an u n d e r w o r l d syndica te and let p r iva te enterpr ise take over the e l iminat ion of o u r Viet C o n g friends.

T H E S E A R E O N L Y a few of the sug-gest ions that a r e being cons idered . The reason why a solut ion to the p r o b l e m has to be found fast is that at the present cost of f ighting the enemy we real ly can ' t a f fo rd to wipe them out. As a mat te r of fact, the less Viet Cong we kill, the m o r e m o n e y we save and the s t ronger o u r e c o n o m y will be to fight the war . Copyr igh t (c) 1967, The Wash ing ton Post Co.

Dear Ed i to r . . . Edi tor ' s note: The excerpts f r o m the

Let me cong ra tu l a t e P layboy for its in-terview with N o r m a n T h o m a s . I recall a street meeting on Vietnam a few years a g o in New York: N o r m a n T h o m a s , A. J. Muste and A.

I was g lad that the y o u n g could see them, for we don ' t m a k e people like them in America a n y m o r e - fear less and thoughtfu l , uncom-promis ing in principle yet indefa t igably active in the f rus t r a t ing c i rcumstances of history.

I W A N T T O A S K the college students a m o n g y o u r r eaders to stir up a fuss a n d see to it that these three men a r e given h o n o r a r y degrees at the .June commence-ment - all the better if they m a k e speeches.

It is a lso true that it is not the a im of the liberal ar ts college to p r o d u c e profess iona l artists, I sincerely hope we can turn out highly educated art students.

As a n added note, there are presently three, not two, a reas used by the ar t depar tment --the basemen t of Phelps Hall, the attic of the Science Building, and the l a rge lecture r o o m in the Physics-Math Building, where all the art h i s tory courses a r e taught .

W I T H R E F E R E N C E TO the survey of ar t p r o g r a m s in church-related l iberal a r t s colleges which 1 conducted last year , it should be noted that Hope does not have one of the " w e a k e s t " ar t depart-ments. What the survey did reveal is that Hope did, unfor tunate ly , have some of the worst physical facilities, the smallest budget , and the worst teacher-student enroll-ment ra t io of a n y of the schools offering a m a j o r in art . Since that time, o u r budget has increased enough to allow us to continue to improve o u r slide collection and studio equipment .

All in all, we do rather well consider ing what we have, and on the bas i s of the students we are now produc ing , a re not the worst depar tment . We merely work un-der some of the worst conditions.

In the interests of clarity and accurate j ou rna l i sm, both of which are, 1 assume, a concern of the anchor , and consider ing the implicat ions for any student who is contempla t ing enrollment in ar t courses at Hope College, I suggest you print this letter, or at least an article conta in ing the accurate and current informat ion .

IN T H E E V E N T that the a n c h o r is contemplat ing a n y future articles, satir ical or other-wise, involving the art depart-ment, I will be g lad to provide a n y necessary informat ion, in the hope that it will be used accurate-ly. By the way, as long as I 'm at it, the p h o t o g r a p h of me was

reversed, as a n y o n e who at tempts to read the labels on the j a r s on the shelves behind me can detect.

cus co lumn this week fea tures Dr. Gerha rd F. Megow, associa te pro-fessor of Ge rman . Dr. Megow's article w a s or ig ina l ly written as " T h o u g h t s of a T h a n k s g i v i n g Af-t e r n o o n " but its pub l i sh ing has been de layed . Dr. Megow has earned an A.B., an A.M. and a Ph.D. f r o m I n d i a n a Univers i ty .

By G e r h a r d F. Megow

An article on Galileo Galilei in vo lume 2 of .James R. N e w m a n ' s " T h e World of Ma thema t i c s "con-tains the fol lowing p a s s a g e :

" M o d e r n mechanics describes quite well how real bodies behave in the real world; its principles and laws a re derived, however , f rom a nonexistent conceptual world of pure , clean, empty, boundless Eucl idean space, in which perfect geometr ic bodies, execute perfect geometric f igures . "

This statement, when appl ied to religion and , what concerns us especially, to the Chr i s t i an relig-ion, could be r eph rased as fol-lows:

The Chr is t ian religion describes quite well how real h u m a n beings behave in the real h u m a n society; its principles and l a w s - - (i.e. its ethical a n d m o r a l m a n d a t e s , its system of values , of g o o d and evil, of right and wrong , of beautiful and ugly, of sin and g race ) -- a re derived, however , f rom a nonexistent conceptual wor ld of pure, clean, empty, bound les s heavenly pa rad i se , in which perfect angelic beings ex-ecute perfect angelic act ions.

Q U E S T I O N : If we can only come to gr ips with the empir ical reality of the physical world a r o u n d us by us ing nonexistent concepts f rom the irreali ty of a nonexistent world of ideal geomet-ries, why then is it so h a r d for us to accept and use the nonexis-tent concepts f rom the irreali ty of a nonexistent heavenly p a r a d i s e with ( iod as its Master - instead of the laws of g rav i ty a n d iner-tia - in o rder to come to gr ips with the v ib ran t ly live reality of our existence as th inking, feeling, and willing h u m a n be ings?

Or, to put it more b lunt ly : Why are there so m a n y " intel lectuals" in the fields of sociology, psy-cho logy , ph i losophy , theology, art , l i terature, et.al. who seem to

DR. GERHARD F. MEGOW

feel a compuls ive u rge to batter down and ridicule the i r ra t ional elements of o u r Chr is t ian heri tage while it never occurs to them to addres s themselves with equal ly vociferous a b a n d o n to the irra-t ional elements in the so-called " e x a c t " sciences?

A F U R T H E R Q U E S T I O N : If empir ical reali ty, the physical as well as the psychic, cannot be consciously possessed by m a n without the irreal i ty of nonexis-tent conceptual wor lds , in how far can these conceptual worlds still be called unrea l and nonex-istent? Since the fo rmer in order to " ex i s t " canno t do without the latter, both either "ex i s t " or "non-ex ist."

The fact that with the l imitations of our h u m a n mind we cannot penetrate the mystery of the "non-existence" of an idealized geomet-ric world nor of an idealized an-gelic p a r a d i s e is ultimately no proof that there a re no such worlds . It is precisely here where due to the l imitat ions of our men-tal facilities faith must become operat ive.

The t rouble with la rge sections of Chris t iani ty in general and with Chris t ian Liberal Arts Colleges in par t i cu la r is that they fail to re-cognize the faith on which science opera tes as faith and as irration-

al while in fact it is every bit as i r ra t iona l as the faith on which Chris t iani ty operates. And they fu r the rmore do not realize that the faith which is the precondit ion for the pursui t of scientific reality is in its or ienta t ion - not in its essence -- totally different f rom the Chr is t ian faith which is the pre-condi t ion for the psychic h u m a n reality, and that the one canno t be substituted for the other. It is the fami l ia r distinction of the sciences for the " H o w ? " as op-posed to the preoccupat ion of Chris t iani ty with the "Why?" of all that exists.

A N D H E R E T H E further dis tinction must be m a d e that Chris-t iani ty 's preoccupat ion is not with the search for the " W h y ? " but only with the search for the best fo rmula t ion of the answer to the "Why?" . F o r Christ ianity profess-es to possess the answer given to it pe rsona l ly th rough its Lord and Master .Jesus Christ. This answer Chris t iani ty must contin-uously reshape not as to its con-tents but as to the form in which it can be most effectively b rough t to bear on the sensibilities of the world of Satan , i.e., all f o r m s of the non-Chr is t ian world by which the Chris t ian world is con-t inuously su r rounded f rom the outside and permeated f rom the inside.

The present crisis in Christ ian-ity is due to the fact that m a n y theo log ians -- often the very sin-cerest a n d . m o s t gifted ones, in-tellectually that is - with their flocks have changed the contents of the Chr is t ian answer instead of its form. Instead of address ing the Chris t ian answer to a scien-tifically inclined world in scien-tific terms based on the premises of Chris t ian faith, they really ad-dress the scientific quest to a res-idual segment of a still Chris-t ian inclined world in Chris t ian terms based on the premises of the scientific quest. Or, stated in simpler words : They critically in-vestigate Christ ianity by us ing scientific " p a r a m e t e r s " instead of critically invest igat ing science by us ing Chris t ian " p a r a m e t e r s . "

W H A T IS HOPE College go ing to be, a " H o w ? " - college of es-sentially scientific orientat ion, or a " W h y ? " - college of Chris t ian commitment?

The editorial "On Uni ty" in last week's ancho r shocked me into some thoughts about dissent and opin ion in our communi ty .

First, it asked the faculty " t o refuse to get involved in a mas-sive f ight" over the l ib ra ry -hours p roposa l . This is an unconsider-ed request to deny members of the faculty the privilege of pub-lic statement and debate on an impor tan t issue. A democrat ic general i ty that still glitters is the notion that open debate is a necessary par t of just government .

Fu r the rmore , the Adminis tra-tive Council and Board of Trus-tees, though coordina te in impor-tance to the faculty, cannot give con t ra ry opin ions a "full hear-ing ." Tha t the faculty has the right to veto faculty-student com-mittee act ions is a recognition of the fallibility of government by committee or sub-committee. These are political matters and not the most d is turbing elements of the editorial , however.

MORE D I S T U R B I N G are the reflections of a Hope College ed-ucat ion cast by the editorial. It is d i shear ten ing to see students

a sk ing faculty members to deny their colleagues the r ight of open discussion, asking them to avo id a significant issue because it m a y be disrupt ive or emot ional ly up-setting, a n d asking them to re-fuse to involve themselves collec-tively in a matter of policy.

H a v e the students been taught , by precept and example , that ed-ucated men and women are not capab le of intelligent a n d h u m a n e a rgumen t and that the greater pa r t of wisdom is sweeping vol-atile issues under the rug of some committee r o o m ?

Less obvious a reflection, but equal ly dis turbing was the care-less a s sumpt ion that only " those faculty who question the wisdom of the p r o p o s a l " want t o b r i n g t h e matter before the faculty. This unjust i f iably and unfa i r ly casts them into the role of the vill ians who will dis turb the unity we pre-s u m a b l y cherish.

AND, I R O N I C A L L Y , the edi-torial effort to preserve unity and h a r m o n y calls them both into question. How worthwhile are they if they must be preserved at the cost of free debate? How genuine is unity and h a r m o n y that cannot survive an honest argu-ment? We can test the sense of communi ty , the spirit of Chris-t ian h a r m o n y , and the unique-ness of the college only in debate. Now the issue must be b rough t before the faculty.

One final irony: the editorial appea red above a tribute to Abra-h a m Lincoln, a m a n who less fearful ly faced a quest ion of unity and h a r m o n y . I wish I could be-lieve the irony was intentional.

to Congress the smallest request for foreign aid -- a little more than $3.1 billion -- that a n y Adminis t ra t ion has submitted in the 20 years since the Mar-shall Plan.

The State Department admit-ted that the Central Intelligence Agency had , in fact, subsidized the United States Na t iona l Stu-dent Association.

The Fifth Column

Bishop Pike By Gordy K o r s t a n g e

February 17, 1X7

Bishop J ames Pike looked out over the audience of the F o u n t a i n Street Church, the lavish, non-denomina t iona l ca thedra l in Grand Rapids. He spoke f r o m a pulpit which jutted out a b o v e the pews on the right side of the nave, and which was fronted by an in-scription of an eagle. It was ap-parent that most of the assem-blage were members of the Foun-tain Street Church , a l though there was a l iberal spr inkl ing of visit-ing ministers wait ing expectantly.

H E B E G A N W I T H h u m o r , c laiming that he did not look as bad as his por t ra i t on the Time magaz ine cover. The talk was full of wit at the expense of the o rgan iza t ion church, its members , and occasional ly himself. A ban-quet following the meeting of the Episcopal ian conference which al-most excommunicated him was referred to as a "d inne r -dance . " He noted, in an oft-quoted line, that the "church was being d ragged , sc reaming and kicking into the nineteenth cen tury . "

Speak ing without notes and al-lowing his thoughts to r a m b l e in m a n y directions. Pike expound-ed his opin ions on why the church is dying. He claimed that the m a i n reason for this p h e n o m e n o n is

idola t ry , the worship of the ves-sels of worship. It is the churchs theological p a r a p h e r n a l i a which is at the heart of its demise.

The trinity? Sounds too much like a committee (iod. Three per-sons in one can be applied to people, but when subjected upon divinity it only creates confusion. Heaven and hell? If those in heav-en are Christ ians, Pike said , they would feel very uneasy about their fellow h u m a n s in torment, and , with Jesus as their leader, go there themselves.

It is time, he stated, that the church get rid of this worship of doctr ine which obscures real mean ing , and it is time for the church to show its basic beliefs to the world in a m a n n e r which m o d e r n man can respond to.

P I K E PROPOSED that we must accept the fact that our th inking IB governed by the empirical pro-cess. The old myths are unbe-lievable to scientific m a n , and a new, more realistic presenta t ion of these beliefs must be made .

He believes in three basic pro-posi t ions:

(1 ) F rom observ ing the world a r o u n d him and t h rough faith he postulates a " u n u s , " a One which underl ies the universe. It is im-

Three Prizes Will Be Awarded

To Scholarly History Students "Rac ia l Crises in Domestic and

Internat ional Politics," has been chosen as this years topic, in con-nection with the "Rolf I ta l iaan-der Jun io r Prizes for History or Political Science," accord ing to Prof. David Clark and Dr. Paul P'ried, faculty members of Hope 's History Department.

A prize of $50 will be awarded to the jun ior who shows super-ior achievement and p romise in the a rea of studies toward the betterment of in ternat ional and interracial unde r s t and ing a^ dem-ons t ra ted in the essay which he submits.

T H E AWARD is in h o n o r of Prof. I ta l iaander , who is a well known commenta to r on interna-tional affairs . Mr. I ta l iaander , who served as a guest professor at Hope a few years ago , is the

According to Mr. Cla rk , the essays for the prize must be sub-mitted on or before May 1.

TWO O T H E R history a w a r d s will also be presented this year . The "Metta J. Ross History Prize" will be awarded to the jun io r student whose interest, achieve-ment, and p romise in history a i e judged by the history faculty as most promis ing .

(2 ) T h r o u g h knowledge of the action of the mind, d rugs , mys-tical visions, etc. m a n has the ability to t ranscend time and space - there is an existence af-ter physical death , but is is an existence of cons tan t g r o w i n g toward perfection not eternal stag-nancy;

(3 ) Man can encounter those a r o u n d him, and he can have en-counters in which the world and himself a re seen in clearer per-spective than is n o r m a l l y possi-ble.

T H I S I M P E R F E C T s u m m a r y of Pike's beliefs serves to show the direction he would have the church proceed in. It must be-gin with these basic une labora ted commit tments in o rde r to rescue itself f rom theological idola t ry .

Whatever the response to Pike as a public f igure, it is unde-niable that he has a sincere and compell ing presence as a speak-er and religious speaker . But he is not the complete rebel m a n y have made of him. At v a r i o u s religious ga ther ings he noted, the number of chu rchmen with more liberal views than the ones he holds has increased great ly in the past few years . He does not go a long with the " ( i o d is d e a d " theologians .

IN R E S P O N S E TO the ques tion of why he s t ays i n thechu rch . Pike answered that there m a y be a religious revival. It is in thechurch he concluded, that there is hope for religion; it is nowhere else.

The Men of Arcad ia

We the members of the Knic-kerbocker Eraterni ty after care-ful del iberat ion a n d considera t ion have in a recent meeting of our body decided by a vote 'of our members to not par t ic ipate in the annua l All College Sing. These a re our reasons for tak ing this action:

1. I H E S I N G HAS as an in-ter-fraternity competi t ion has out g rown its or ig inal purpose of stim-ulat ing unity between the Creeks and the college communi ty . This competi t ion in actual i ty has caus-ed dissention within and a m o n g the va r ious fraternit ies and soror-ities.

T o d a y on Hope's c a m p u s we find ourselves com-peting for every th ing f rom tradi-t ional spor t s competi t ion to the winter ca rn iva l , not to mention grades .

2. The Sing has caused fratern-ities and sorori t ies to specialize in getting its members into the col-lege chorus , etc., to create core g r o u p s of par t ic ipants to aid in the Sing. A n u m b e r of f raterni ty members are excluded for musi-

cal incompetence while others find it a waste of precious academic time.

3. FOR S E V E R A L YEARS the I EC and recently the Student Sen-ate have investigated the possi-bility of d iscont inuing the Sing. We feel that now is the time for direct action at least on our par t .

4. The use of censorship is a lso a factor. A fraterni ty or soror i ty is required to s ing a song favor-able to the college and not to the individual g r o u p par t ic ipa t ing in the Sing.

5. The Sing has become a pu-blicity item for the college and not an event to create unity a m o n g the Creeks. The audience at the Sing sees only a quest ionable , hasty musical result by m a n y of the contestants ra ther than a pol-ished enthusiastic per formance .

6. The ambigu i ty concerning the selection of judges and pur-ported biases has been a tradi-tional bone of contention.

7. WE F E E L A MORE up dated al ternat ive to the Sing such as the suggested variety show would be of more interest to both the c a m p u s as a whole and the Creek societies.

8. If fraternities and sorori t ies as pointed out in v a r i o u s Anchor editorials are to re-evaluate them-selves, we of Knickerbocker must state that we are a social fratern-ity (note page 22 of Hope Col-lege H a n d b o o k ) not a service o rgan iza t ion and certainly not a glee club.

Novice Debaters Win Third Place In Tournament

Hope College's negat ive debate team won third place in the Purdue University Novice Debate Tourn-ament at Purdue University Sat-u rday .

Hope was one of 38 colleges represented, including eight pre-viously unbeaten negat ive teams. Creenville College of Greenville, 111., won first and was followed by Miami Universi ty and Hope.

The Hope team of Ray Eyls t ra and Brian C l a p h a m were unbeat-en in four rounds , defeating De Paul University, Ind iana Un-iversity, Southern Illinois Un-iversity and Wheaton College teams.

Hope's a f f i rmat ive team. Rick Rietveld and Al Ver Schure were held to one win in four engage-ments.

The tournTunent featured com-petition f rom the five states of Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Ind iana and Wisconsin.

THIS ACTION we feel is a pos-itive one. May we Anchor our case with this p a r t i n g thought " F o o l i s h consistency if often the hobgobl in of little m i n d s . "

SNOW CARNIVAL—For the first time in four years, Hope had a Snow Carnival last weekend. In the snow

sculpture competition, the winner of the dormitory division was Kollen Hail with its representation of

Snoopy pursuing the Red Baron (left). The Emmies are shown above running in the dog-sled race. The

competition was keen, but Al Griswold, Doug Nichols, Cliff Mulvihill, Ken Bruggers, Bob Schaap and

Wayne Meerman won the contest. The Arcadians placed immediately behind them. The winning cottage

snow sculpture was the entry of Belt Cottage (right). The Centurian fraternity and Kappa Chi sorority worked jointly to win the Greek snow sculpture competition.

Now in Second Place

Dutchmen Flunk Crucial Test Hope Will Face lough Wheaton Five Tomorrow

By Bob Vander Berg

A sky-high K a l a m a z o o Hornet quintet moved into first place in the MIAA title sc ramble Wednes-d a y night, as they knocked off the Hope F ly ing Dutchmen with rela-tive ease, 75-63.

T H E D U T C H , crippled by the loss of their injured s tar t ing cen-ter, Bruce Van Huis, d ropped out of a first place tie into second place with a league record of 7-2.

Wednesday ' s g a m e was lost in the open ing moments as Hope quickly fell behind 8-1 and trail-ed 12-3 before four minutes had elapsed. Hampered by a cold shoo t ing h a n d , the Dutch could only look on helplessly as the long shots of Kazoo g u a r d s Bob T r e n a r y and T o m Crawford and f o r w a r d Gene N u s b a u m tickled the twine repeatedly.

At the close of the first ten min-utes of action, the Hornets led 20-9. Hope proceeded to d rop even fur ther behind, 29-11, as only Jim Klein was able to find the range. The fired-up K a l a m a -zoo s q u a d held a c o m m a n d i n g 39-23 a d v a n t a g e as the first half buzzer sounded.

L E A D I N G T H E F I R S T half

scor ing p a r a d e for the Hornets were N u s b a u m with 14 points and Trena ry , who d u m p e d in a dozen. On the other side of the ledger, however, not a single Or-ange and Blue pe r fo rmer was in double figures. Klein led with sev-en, while Floyd Brady and Ga ry Hypma could m a n a g e to tally on-ly five points each.

As the second half got under way , the Dutchmen appea red de-termined to bounce out of their do ld rums . Two 20-footers by Car l Walters and a b r e a k - a w a y lay-up by Rypma cut the K a z o o lead to 10 points before the h o m e team could get a shot off.

A B U C K E T BY BRADY and a 25-footer by Rypma b rough t Hope to within eight points, 44-36, with 16 minutes remaining . Unfor tunate ly , K a l a m a z o o ' s T rena ry aga in s p a r k e d his team-mates by stealing the ball several times and go ing in all alone for easy lay-ups.

The Dutch were never able to get any closer than 10 points in the final 10 minutes of the con-test.

K a z o o shot a fine 4 6 per cent f rom the field, but even more im-pressive was the fact that they

were 19 for 23 f rom the free throw line.

Shoulder ing the scor ing load for the Hornets were T r e n a r y with 31, and Crawford and N u s b a u m both with 15. B rady a g a i n led Hope with 17 points, while Wal-ters added 12 and Rypma tal-lied 10.

HOPE 'S N E X T MIAA g a m e is Wednesday night at Adr ian . Kal-a m a z o o must defeat a tough Cal-vin team before a homecoming crowd in G r a n d Rapids tomor-row in o rder to remain in first place.

The Hope jun io r vars i ty squad also found the go ing r o u g h Wed-nesday, as they lost a 76-67 de-cision to their K a l a m a z o o coun-terparts . This defeat, together with their 103-71 conquest of Macki-nac College last F r iday night, gives the f rosh an 1 1-3 record with three g a m e s remain ing .

Seeking to avenge a 95-69 th rash ing suffered earl ier in the year, the Hope F ly ing Dutchmen will host the h igh-scor ing Wheaton College Crusade r s t o m o r r o w night at the Civic Center.

The Crusade r s routed the Dutch in the second half of the g a m e played on J a n . 2, af ter the con-test had been tied at intermission, 36-36. Arlyn Westergren, a 6 foot 4 inches f o r w a r d , led Coach Lee Pfund 's s q u a d with 2 3 points.

LAST MONDAY N I G H T , Wheaton was nipped by power-ful V a l p a r a i s o by a score of 78-75, to m a k e the Illinois school ' s record 11-7.

T h r o u g h their first fifteen g a m e s this season, the C r u s a d e r s led the na t ion ' s smal l colleges in scor ing with an a v e r a g e of 92 points per game. Wheaton is current ly av-e rag ing 90 a contest. Consequent-ly, the Dutch will have to be tough

Hope 's Hoops ters n a r r o w l y averted disaster this week as they squeezed pas t the Scots of Alma 79-78. The win t emporar i ly plac-ed Hope in a tie with K a l a m a z o o for the conference lead with ident-ical 7-1 slates.

T H E GAME S H O U L D and p r o b a b l y would have been mere-ly a w a r m u p for last Wednes-d a y ' s showdown with the Hor-nets of K a l a m a z o o if it h a d not been for the first half in ju ry of center Bruce Van Huis and the hot hand of K a z o o ' s G o r d o n He-trick.

Van Huis, who is one of the m a i n reasons for Hope ' s fine showing this season , sp ra ined his ankle in the first half while pull-ing down a rebound , a n d was forced to the bench for the rest of the game.

O N T H E O T H E R half of the

court , Hetrick poured in 32 points, most of them coming f rom dead-ly jumpers , to put the pressure on the Dutchmen, n a r r o w i n g Hope 's 51-40 half t ime lead to the final one point m a r g i n .

With F loyd B r a d y ' s 2 6 m a r k -ers comb in ing with 18 for Car l Walters and Jim Klein 's 14, Al-ma fell to their seventh defeat of the season aga ins t one win and slipped to the bot tom r u n g of the league s t and ings .

defensively in o rder to come out of the scrap on top.

Hope and Wheaton have played three mutua l foes. The Dutch lost to Va lpo 74-62, while the -Cru-saders , as prev ious ly stated, were also beaten. Calvin was topped by Hope twice and by Wheaton once. Final ly , the Dutchmen split with Lake Forest , winn ing here 59-58, and losing there 69-65.
