CLB and AdAB make system changes 82n(l Anniversary - 20 Hope College, Holland, Michigan 49423 March 20, 1970 To feature three scholars Hope to host nature symposium A symposium entitled "Mech- anism, Man and Nature; The Data and the Inference," sponsored hy the Sperry and Hutchinson Foun- dation, will be held for the Col- lege and community on Hope's campus April 1 3 and 14. THIS SYMPOSIUM, as stated in a letter from the Foundation, "will discuss basic laws and the inference that can be drawn from CHARLES SHIELDS GOWANS them for determining the nature of man and the nature of nature in terms of models and experi- ences understandable to the lay- man." Scientists, artists and musicians will present their individual views on the fundamental mechanical nature of man and will have the opportunity to challenge the posi- tions of each other. The great advances and understanding that come from such a confrontation are reported almost solely to sci- entific journals. IT IS THE INTENT of this symposium to make some of this information publicly known. Coming to the symposium is pro- fessor Charles Gowans, a geneti- cist from the University of Mis- souri. He will present his views on the biomolecular basis of man and the implications of understanding man's biomolecular basis. Psychologist Julian Jaynes from the Institute of Advanced Study at Princeton will present his new theory on man's mind. A physicist, as yet unnamed, will be the third scientist. POSITION PAPERS will be given by the three scientists on Monday afternoon, April 13, to be followed by an open discussion of these positions. That evening, a concert by Vladimir Ussachevs- bry, famed composer of electronic music, will be given. Tuesday afternoon there will be informal discussions and showings of the computer-generated films and other displays. Tuesday night the participants will confront each other's positions and answer ques- tions from the audience. Students, faculty members and the general public will be invited to attend all lectures, symposia and performances without an ad- mission charge. The program will JULIAN JAYNES be planned and administered by Dean for Academic Affairs Mor- rette Rider with the assistance of the Cultural Affairs Committee. by Garret DeGraff anchor Assistant Editor The Administrative Affairs Board approved the appointment ol a black student to the Student Standing and Appeals Committee, and the Campus Life Board ap- proved the appointment of two black students to the College Judi- cial Board for the remainder of the school year m separate meet- ings Tuesday. THE ACTION CAME in res- ponse to a five-point statement presented by the Black Coalition and the black students at Hope to the Judicial Board last Thursday. I he Judicial Board, which had no power to act on the list of re- quests, forwarded the list last Friday to the AdAB. M eeting Monday, the AdAB referred the request for "a minimum of two black student members on the Judicial Board" to the CLB which established the Judicial Board and is the only body that can make changes in its membership. In addition to approving the appointment of two black stu- dents to the Judicial Board for the remainder of the school year, the CLB also recommended that the Human Relations Council which is to be appointed "take up the matter of fair and equitable repre- sentation in the College Judicial system at the earliest possible time." THE CLB ALSO approved a motion that the "Ad Hoc Com- mittee which is to be appointed to work out the purposes and the structure of the Human Relations Council or Human Rights Com- mittee include in the make-up of the Council or Committee all min- ority groups." This Ad Hoc Committee ap- proved Monday hy the AdAB is to be appointed by President Calvin VanderWerf, Dean of Academic Affairs Morrette Rider and Dean of Students Robert De Young. The AdAB specified that this committee shall consist of "four black persons and four white per- sons from the college community and that these eight people be four women and four men." RECOMMENDATIONS for ap- pointment to the Ad Hoc Com- mittee are being sought from black students and members of the Student Congress. The other requests of the Black Coalition were also answered by the AdAB Monday. A letter ex- plaining the responses of the AdAB was sent from Dean Rider, the Board's chairman, to the Black Coalition and black stu- dents on Tuesday. IN RESPONSE TO the request lor the "Immediate recall of the suspension of" the two black stu- dents who did not appear before the College Judicial Board," the letter stated that, "At this point, no one has been suspended. The Judicial Board does not have power to suspend a student but only recommends his suspension to the Student Standing and Ap- peals Committee. "Il did make this recommenda- tion to (he Committee," the Dean's letter continued, "but it has also asked the Student Stand- ing and Appeals Committee to postpone action on the suspension of both students" until the CLB and the AdAB could respond to the requests. REGARDING THE request for "an immediate open hearing of the case" of the black students "involving the incident of Feb. 11, 1970," the letter stated that all meetings of the Judical Board were open meetings, but there had been no hearing on this case to date because the students had not appeared.

Associate Dean of Students, reported that he was called to Beck Cottage to take Miss Weaver to the hospital Wed- nesday. The 17-year old coed later lost consciousness and was uncon- scious for two days before she died. A memorial service was held Saturday afternoon in Western Theological Seminary Chapel at the request of Miss Weaver's par- ents. Lec? hy Don Redlich Dance company to perform Whittaker plans more changes for Van Zoeren by Dave Thomas anchor Reporter Where is the stern old lady- libranan with her hair pulled back tightly into a bun with a pin sticking out of it, pausing from her work only to say Shh! and cast menacing looks? THIS STEREOTYPE has dis- appeared and with it the limited concept of the library as merely a warehouse for books. Taking its place is the "library-college" con- cept of the library as an integral component of the educational process. At the Van Zoeren library, head librarian Fd Whittaker has made many changes in the struc- ture and operation of the College library in his first year and be- lieves strongly that the library's services to faculty and students can be extended a great deal. "STUDENTS SIMPLY deserve more from libraries than what they've been getting," Whittaker said in a recent interview. "The change in this library is essentially a shift from technical services to public services. In other words, we're building a stronger rapport with the users of the library. We're integrating the library more closely than ever with the chang- ing modes of instruction and with the specific needs of students and faculty." Describing specific changes in the expanded library-college pro- gram, Whittaker first expressed relief at eliminating what he calls the "librarian fish-bowl"- the glassed-in, communal librarians' office that was recently changed to the Access Office. The library staff moved upstairs into the for- mer conference rooms. THE ACCESS OFFICE is be- coming the College's central agency for indexing educational materials among the various de- partments of this school and also among other schools. The Access Office has a National Union Cate- logue which lists virtually every book indexed by the Library of Congress and its accessibility. Working through a reference librarian, students here are able to obtain books located at another school. Periodicals formerly not available in the Van Zoeren Li- brary can be obtained through the (Continued on page II, eolumn I) I he Donald Redlich Dance Company, as part of the Hope College Great Performance Series, will present a concert April 1 1 in the Civic Center. The group will address classes and give lectures April 9 and 10 as part of its three-day residence. THE REDLICH style is dance combined with film, light, sound and color. Artist-filmmaker Jack- son Tiffany and Redlich fused talents and created effects in multi-media. In the dance Readi- er, Redlich climbs, reaches and swings into the film on a 15-foot square cargo net. In Jibe, super- imposed films are highlighted by dancers in translucent costumes. The coming of the company marks the beginning of coopera- tion between privately and nation- ally supported fine arts. Sponsors of the company include the Michi- gan State Counsel of Arts, Nation- al Endowment for the Arts, Hope College Cultural Affairs Commit- tee, Junior Welfare League of Hol- land, Holland Literary Club and the Association of University Wo- men. THE COMPANY consists of choreographer Donald Redlich, Luly Santangelo and Flina Mooney. Redlich trained at Winona State College in Minnesota and spent summers at Colorado Col- lege studying under Hanya Holm. His graduate study was completed at the University of Wisconsin with Margaret H'Doubler. Red- lich's work is to be found in the choreography of the off-Broad- way production of Thieves' Carni- val and his appearances in The I "JIBE"-Don Redlich and dancers Elina Mooney and Luly Santangelo are part of the Don Redlich Dance Company.

In 1964, she Joined the Alwin Nikolais Dance Company at the Henry Street Playhouse. She then joined Red- lich's company in 1969. A WINNER OF a citation of merit from the National Society of Arts completes the trio of the company. Miss Mooney is from Washington, D.C., and has per- formed solos at the Dance Theatre Workshop. She holds classes at Silvermine College of Art and at the Friends World College. The performance April I I is free to students and staff of the College upon presentation of ID cards.

On getting on The h is to ry of race re la t ions at Hope
College in recent years has been marked by
an ever-increasing consciousness among
bo th w h i t e and black s tudents of the i r
d i f ferences. The causes fo r th is awareness
are no t hard to perceive; they reside in the
vast increase of the number of b lack
students at the College over the past few
years, the g row th of black nat iona l ism,
w i t h its emphasis on the un ique cu l tu ra l
heritage of black Amer icans, and increasing
black m i l i t ancy bo th on and o f f Amer i can
college campuses. A t Hope these t rends
were mani fest in the f o r m a t i o n of the
Black Coa l i t ion , requests by blacks fo r a
cmcljor editorials
separate student un ion , separate housing
and special procedures for guaranteeing
black representat ion in such diverse groups
as the Homecom ing cour t and the College
Judic ia l Board.
Whi tes (not all bu t p robab ly a ma jo r i t y )
have fa i led to comprehend w h y the black
students sit at lunch together , much less
w h y they ask for special representat ion o n
the Col lege Judic ia l Board. Whi tes have
fai led to see the racism black students
a t t r i bu te to wh i t e Hope College, and have
in t u r n in many cases become al ienated
f r o m the blacks. Thus, the perceived d i f fe r -
ences, or perhaps more co r rec t l y the mis-
conceived di f ferences, have led to antagon-
ism and tension between the t w o groups.
The campus is p robab ly more open ly racist
now than it has been in recent years, and it
is foo l i sh for anyone to bel ieve the situa-
t i on w i l l radical ly change in the immed ia te
f u t u r e - t h e black students are sure to make
more requests, most of w h i c h are legit i-
mate ly based on the cu l tu ra l d i f ferences
between black and w h i t e w h i c h most w h i t e
students fai l to acknowledge, and the w h i t e
students w i l l con t inue t o become more
antagonist ic in a t t i t ude because of these
requests.
T h o u g h the nature of th is p rob lem, w i t h
its roo ts deep in the env i ronmenta l back-
grounds of all involved makes qu ick ameli-
o ra t ion un l i ke l y , there are correct ives pos-
sible. For one, Hope's w h i t e s tudents
should c o m e to an awareness o f the t rue
d i f fe rences w h i c h do exist be tween t hem
and Hope 's black students. The w h i t e
should understand his i nab i l i t y to judge the
amoun t of racism at Hope, wh i ch is the
main reason for the blacks' requests, be-
cause of his w h i t e sk in. Mo re b road ly , he
should be aware tha t there is a vast
d i f fe rence between being black in a society
where most o f the wea l th , etc., is con-
t ro l led by the wh i t e m a j o r i t y , and w h i c h
has a long h is tory o f abusing the black
man, and being wh i t e in th is same
society. W i t h these too ls Hope's w h i t e
s tudents migh t be able to avoid in part the
antagonism many n o w feel t o w a r d their
fe l low-s tudent w h o is b lack .
For its par t , the b lack c o m m u n i t y cou ld
conceivably improve the present status of
race re lat ions and increase the poss ib i l i ty
of having the i r requests approved and
unders tood by p rov id ing adequate rat ion-
ales for these requests. Th is should be done
w i t h the unders tand ing that Hope's w h i t e
students, because of thei r pecul iar back-
ground, are o f t en incapable of compre-
hend ing the black s i tua t ion and the re-
quests that result f r o m it w i t h o u t deta i led
exp lanat ion .
If it is t rue, as so many con tend , that
ignorance is the basis of pre judice, then it
w i l l be up to wh i tes to comba t that
ignorance w i t h facts, and it w i l l become
the respons ib i l i t y of the blacks to prov ide
the i n f o r m a t i o n that the wh i tes need to be
i n fo rmed abou t cu r ren t s i tuat ions. The
near silence and fear to speak w h i c h many
blacks have shown du r i ng the most recent
succession of events have led to one-sided-
ness and bias. Perhaps exp lanat ion shou ld
not be necessary, bu t the black p o i n t of
v iew must be heard, open to discussion and
ready to be acted upon . Dia logue can be a
stall tact ic, b u t it can also lead to correc-
t ive measures and decreased antagonism
between groups.
In the past t w o weeks the College
Judic ia l Board , the S tuden t S tand ing and
Appeals C o m m i t t e e , the Campus L i fe
Board and the A d m i n i s t r a t i v e A f f a i r s
Board have demons t ra ted their awareness
of the special nature of the requests of
the black s tudents by act ing to accomo-
date these requests. The Black Coali-
t i on 's f i ve -po in t s ta tement to the Judic ia l
Board, w h i c h provides some rat ionale for
the desires of the blacks, is also a step
in the r ight d i rec t i on . These act ions
j o i n t l y have led to changes w h i c h hope-
fu l l y w i l l ease some o f the racial tens ion
w h i c h now pervades the campus. Bu t for
substant ial imp rovemen t , awareness dem-
onstrated by these govern ing bodies must
ex tend to the ent i re w h i t e c o m m u n i t y ,
and the rat ionales for o ther g roup
act ions taken by b lack students shou ld
be made pub l i c , and such black s tudents
shou ld be prepared to open ly discuss
thei r requests.
Involvement is first step Th is week Student Congress pe t i t i ons
are being d is t r ibu ted fo r pos i t ions on Col-
lege govern ing bodies. S tuden ts may app ly
to serve on any of the three Boards or o n
the s tanding commi t tees w h i c h make re-
commenda t i ons t o the Boards. In add i t i on ,
s tudents may seek t o sit on the College
Judic ia l Board. Some pos i t ions are made
by president ia l a p p o i n t m e n t , bu t most are
by pe t i t i on . S tudent Congress Cabinet re-
c o m m e n d a t i o n and s tudent re fe rendum.
A recent survey taken by the O f f i ce of
I ns t i t u t i ona l Research showed that 44 per-
cent of the representat ive sample of stu-
dents fe l t tha t the S tuden t Congress was
not representat ive of the s tudent body . In
the same survey, students showed dissatis-
fac t ion w i t h several areas of campus l i fe,
f r o m the health c l in ic and personal contac t
w i t h f acu l t y members to core requ i rements
and the academic calendar. Some of these
quest ions are present ly under cons idera t ion
by var ious Boards, others have yet to be
b rough t t o l ight . If there is widespread
dissat is fact ion w i t h e lements of campus l i fe
or p rocedure , then now is the t i m e to show
that such dissat isfact ion is more than mere
g rumb l i ng . Invo lvement is the f i rs t step to
so lu t i on of College prob lems, and S tuden t
Congress is o f f e r i ng the o p p o r t u n i t y to get
involved th is week.
I f invo lvement is the f i rs t step, in forma-
t i o n c losely fo l l ows . In the same O I R
survey, o n l y 37 percent of the s tudents
cou ld name one of the three t o p decision-
mak ing Boards in the campus government
s t ruc ture . A mere 23 percent cou ld name
t w o Boards, and 4 percent cou ld name all
three. A n astonishing 34 percent could not
name any of the three Boards. S tuden t
Congress personnel are available in the
Kletz da i ly to answer quest ions abou t the
c o m m i t t e e s t ruc ture , and they w i l l be
de l ighted to answer any ques t ion , whe the r
the s tudent w h o asks is interested in a
governmenta l pos i t i on or not .
There is ye t one more cons idera t ion in
t h i n k i n g abou t next year 's campus govern-
ment . M i n o r i t y group representat ion on
any C o m m i t t e e or Board is possible w i t h -
ou t passing special legis lat ion if those
groups w i l l app l y for t he pos i t ions w h i c h
they desire.
The Congress must give close a t t e n t i o n
to pe t i t i ons f r o m persons of m i n o r i t y
groups. A reso lu t ion to the e f fec t that the
Congress president and Cabinet we l come
pe t i t i ons f r o m all s tudents and w i l l make
recommenda t ions to the s tudent body that
all groups be represented in the c o m m u n i t y
government w o u l d be reassuring. However ,
any m i n o r i t y groups cannot ask t o be
represented unless they f i rst consider the
o p p o r t u n i t y avai lable th is week fo r such
representat ion.
By p lann ing ahead, w i t h fores ight rather
than mid-s t ream, m i n o r i t y groups can w o r k
w i t h i n the establ ished f r a m e w o r k , and
campus government can serve all campus
groups and ind iv idua ls fa i r l y and equal ly .

Paris. I wondered i l I wou ld ever jzet there. It was
distant, hut not foreign. \ mystery , yet fami l iar as are all
things roman t i c . The streetwalkers wou ld he heau l i l u l , and
all the sidewalk painters very talented.
Snow la l l i ng outs ide, against the cold blue o f n ight . We
were in hed. Heau l i fu l , I guess.
"Is love Paris?"
" N o .
I wondered , and ate my ice cream.

^ ou know it isn I Paris, and ice cream. It V usuallv
ra in ing, and unremembered details. It is a big brush s t roke,
and y o u see huge emot ions , and n o t h i n g def ined. The
street-walkers have syphi l is , and most o f the art ists are
Irauds. I here is ur ine s l id ing down the sides o f the ^o lden • r-
streets.
1 k n o w a plain g i r l : a foo l . She loves her man, and she' l l
die when he leaves, and 1 k n o w he w o n I real ly give a damn.
H e l l t h i nk about her once, or maybe tw ice (when heV
d runk , or a lone), and then lorget . I smile and laugh, and
imi ta te a l oo l lo r his amusemenl , because I l ike parts o f

he needs deodorant hadlv. But he w i l l forget the weekend,
and me, and hi> gir l , and soniedav he wi l l be surrounded bv
laces all the same, w i t h the same loo l is l i gr ins and grimaces.
I t l i i nk mav he no one loves. I run a l te r i t , but it s
enibarra>>ing, l ike hav mg liv e dol lars in m\ pocket . . . . The
snow is I a i l ing again, cover ing up mv path, le t t ing me create
a new ot ic . I no longer want to he pregnant , or in love, lo r
Ihev bo th r ip you r guts open, i l i e v k i l l . The night works
hard to b lo t ou t ni \ loo ls teps. C o o d b y e warm a u t u m n

she placed a c igare t te t o her lips and r eached for a nea rby
jar of m u s t a r d .
A pink Princess t e l e p h o n e across the r o o m s u d d e n l y
c l a t t e red to l ife. As she t u r n e d , an ash c r u m b l e d to her
ches t ; she f r o w n e d , d r o p p e d the mus t a rd i n t o a sea of tin
c a n s on her c o u n t e r , b rushed herself o f f , and thea t r ica l ly
exha l ed a t h i ck s t ream of s m o k e .
" F o r Chr issake , c an ' t s o m e b o d y answer the phone! '
Hel lo? Oh, yes, jus t a m i n u t e . J a c k i e . . J e f f ' s on the

"Tel l h im jus t a m i n u t e . "
T h e h a m b u r g e r s s lapped loud ly .
"1 ) a m m i t . "
J a c k i e was in an unseen b a t h r o o m . F m e r g i n g half-
dressed , m o m e n t s la ter , she s t ro l led to the t e l e p h o n e , l i f t ing
il casually f r o m i l sd i shp i l e c rad le .
"He l lo . Hi. \ o , no t really. What? \ call, just t o d a y ; I had
my last tu to r ia l al 2 : 0 0 . With S o l o m a n . My Fnglish
p ro fesso r . Well a n y w a y , I went over lo his o f f i c e and he

was, t r y ing to think and he was jus t s i l t ing the re s m o k i n g
like a bull and look ing al me, mak ing me feel so abso lu tcK
But he lowered his voice, lit a Camel, and dragging
deeply, studied the worn carpet before returning his eyes to
the television. An open Schlitz can was within his reach; he
c lamped shaking fingers a round it and gulped f r o m it
eagerly, d ropp ing unnot iced ashes to the f loor , and shud-
dered to int imidat ion.
There was a knock at the glass sliding door ; Jeff was
s tanding in a large snow-drif t before it, on the unshovelled
walk f rom the carpor t . Mrs. Stevens sidled over and opened
the door .
"Oh , come in Je f f ; Jackie ' s almost r e a d y . "
Mrs. Stevens led the way back into the living room,
leaving the sofa open, and seating herself instead in an
overs tuf fed rocker beneath a windowsill lined with bowling
t rophies and whisky bot t les full of colored water. She
reached ou t and pulled a metal wastebasket into service as
an ashtray for the lighted cigarette she had brought with
her. Jeff sat testily on the seedy old couch , and grimaced in
place of a smile. The television broken silence was palpable.
" F o r Chrissake, Jackie , J e f f ' s wai t ing ."
"Tell him I 'm a lmost r e a d y . "
Smelling of hair spray. Right Cuard , Ambush and
tobacco , she strolled toward h im, de tour ing momentar i ly at
a closet for a worn pea coat with brass bu t tons , and flipped
it on , feeling for a pack of cigarettes and a lighter in her
right pocket .
"Bye Ma."
Jeff had got ten up and was nearly to the door .
"Bye Jackie . Have a good t i m e . "
" W h a t ? "
"I said I hope you have a good t ime; for Chrissake
Jackie , listen wil lya?"
Drew Hinderer

d o n ' t you c o m e over here in a b o u t an h o u r or so; I'll get
r e a d y . See y o u . B y e . "
When they had eaten, Jackie had ad journed lo her
bedroom and Mrs. Stevens had added to an already high
stack of dirty Melmac dishes, the lady padded into the
living room, and installed herself into a green over-stuffed
sofa behind a low blonde co f fee table that was straining
under its mound of C lamour , M o d e m Bride, Seventeen, and
Ingenue magazines, an open Pabst can, an overf lowing glass
ash-tray with "Fo r t Laude rda l e " s tamped on its side in
orange ink, and a pink Lady Sunbeam hair dryer . Retrieving
a half-smoked cigarette f r o m a crushed-looking pack on the
f loor and a lighter f rom the sofa 's arm, she lit the Kent ,
taking a voluminous drag and exhaling slowly. A beaming
black bride on the table caught her eye and she picked up
the magazine, leafed through it wi thout looking at it, and
re tu rned it to the table.
" L a r r y ? "
A pack of Camels and a red Scripto throw-away lighter
were c lutched in the hand of a thin-f leshed skeleton that
was watching "Days of Our Lives" on a b londe television
set bedecked with a luminum foil rabbi t ears and a red
lava-lamp tha t burped thickly. Larry Stevens was wearing
decaying brown work shoes, white c o t t o n socks, baggy
brown pants , a dingy white shirt with a b u t t o n missing and
a loosened green-gray tie, and smooth ing his pa tchy hair
with nicot ine stained fingers. His eyes l i f ted across the room.
" W h a t ? "
\ ou know that nice boy , J e f f ? He's a phi losophy m a j o r ? "
"He ' s a bas ta rd . "
Larry.
"Well he ' s a goddam coward then. You know what he
said to me? He said he was sorry Doug went to Vietnam. He
was so r ry ! " He paused, glaring at his wife.
She dragged on her cigarette, exhaling slowly, her eyes
on the f loor. "Well I 'm sorry t o o . "
By Cod we had to do it! Jesus, Doug ' s over there
get t ing shot at so he can sit a round here and tell me he 's
not going to fight: th inks he 's too good to kill for his c o u n t r y . "
" L a r r y . " But he was exci ted now.
"He ' s one of them bastards that was in Chicago last
summer you know, with the r iots at the convent ion . For
Chrissake; th inks he 's some kind of goddam intellectual.
Phi losophy major . What the hell good is a phi losophy
major? Uppi ty little bastard, I 'd like to take him outs ide
and show him a thing or two. 1 would too, he 's so goddam s m a r t . "
Mrs. Stevens scowled, crushed the smoldering filter of
the Kent she had smoked, and reached for a fresh cigarette.
He s n o t a bad guy, though . He's nice enough , 1 mean he ' s po l i t e . "
"L ike hell he 's 'nice e n o u g h ' . "
"Well d o n ' t let Jackie hear y o u . "
"Chris t , why not? She's my daughter t o o . "

RETROSPECT
Day-break
The sky shat ters .
Hazy and withered, 1 rise
my head aching
with the brilliance of last night 's
f r ight :
whipping, wi thdrawing dream.
INight-fall
The heaven crumbles.
My eyes are still sore,
somewhere ,
back there,
recesses I call somehow
reality.
High-noon
I 'm laid low,
arid against an angry sky.
A knife is scraping
against rus ted re t ina.
My nerves are twisted,
maybe my mind.
Sun-set
Relief oozes over everything
like crazed caramel
a t o p the white m o u n d
of f rozen cream.
It drips, melt ing;
missing me .
Martha Mulder
M I R A G E A T M I D D A Y
Screaming starlings: blind idiot-gods of fields
Crouching in the dus ty weeds. Old rust
Peels off abandoned cars. These are the songs
Of stillborn summer ; and dried seed pods , the f ru i t
Of the fu rnace , mark the t ime. Blistered, shrunken
Weeds take up the t u n e : they shriek and reel.
Charles Schoeneck
THE BEAT OF SILENCE
He finds each thing alive, each timeless beat
A m e t r o n o m e to move with, a hard heat
To light a fire with: to bend his knee and
Wait for the reassuring, graceful hand
To span his measured shoulders . Just lightly
The fingers press, as waves c rumble slightly,
Peak, peak by peak, until they hold the beach
Knowingly apart f r o m their cleansing reach.
Fingers c o m m a n d : those fingers touch the course
Of humble plainsong sleeping a t the source.
And he is f ree , free to bend wi th the bea t .
His silence breaks in waves. Borne in the heat
Of mot ion , his pulses of evensong
Smooth to rest , and he embraces a long
Life, and each t h r o b is longer life until he
Is long l ife, and sees the ocean in a tree.
He walks the gentle walk of sunlight .
Beginning pa ths to f iner movemen t , slight.
And yet he feels l ike a man of essence.
He walks the silent walk and smiles silence.

AS A S E C O N D part of the m o r a t o r i u m , the Congress is hoping to have a panel deba t e on the selective service. "We are try-ing to engage represen ta t ives of the G r a n d Haven Selective Service Board to t ake par t in t he discus-s ion , " said Boons t r a .
Boons t ra expla ined that t he plans for the m o r a t o r i u m this spring are not as extensive as they were last fal l . " T h i s is p robab ly because the lo t t e ry had not yet gone in to e f f e c t last fa l l , " he said, "and tha t was a big mot iva t ion for a c t i o n . "
A L T H O U G H THE m o r a t o r i u m itself will no t be as big th is spring, a d r a f t counse l l ing service has also been p lanned by Rev. William Hil legonds and a g roup of app rox -imately 15 s tuden t s . Boons t ra , Doug Westveer and Brian Cla-p h a m , w h o ini t ia ted the idea of a d ra f t counse l l ing service, have
a n n o u n c e d t en ta t ive plans t o open the i n f o r m a t i o n cen te r in Hol-land 's C o m m u n i t y Act ion House April 9. T h e C e n t e r would be open f r o m 9-12 S a t u r d a y m o r n -ings and f r o m 4-9 p .m. M o n d a y t h r o u g h F r iday .
Accord ing to Boons t ra , the staff will include various f acu l ty m e m b e r s and psychologis t s and o the r counse l lo rs f r o m the Hol-land area w h o have been specially t ra ined in d ra f t counsel l ing. " T h e purpose of his service will be t o i n f o r m people of the i r r ights , " he said.

HE A D D E D , " T h e counse l l ing cen te r has no c o n n e c t i o n wi th the m o r a t o r i u m and is no t to be c o n f u s e d with any anti-war g roup . It is not meant t o be part of the o f fens ive to end the war . bu t is chief ly a service o r g a n i z a t i o n . "
