Delays action on report

AdAB seeks committee input

Nearly 2 5 0 H o p e s tuden t s gathered in t h e Pine Grove March 26 t o p ro tes t Dean of S tuden t s Robe r t DeYoung^s decision t o oust J o h n Jackson as di rector of s tuden t activities.

S T U D E N T S Ernie Harris, Mark McLean and Stella Crawford spoke at the p ro tes t . All of them praised Jackson , c i t ing his accom-pl i shments and called for De Young t o reverse his decis ion.

C r a w f o r d , speaking for the Black Coal i t ion , declared tha t De Young ' s ac t ion was precipi ta ted by Jackson ' s refusal to " k e e p a wa tch fu l eye on the Blacks and repor t their ac t iv i ty . " She said that Jackson has been bo th crea-tive and revo lu t ionary in pioneer-ing new programs a n d exposing s tuden t s to the Black cu l tu re .

" B E F O R E Jackson came to Hope no o n e ever danced to a Black band, ate soul food or u n d e r s t o o d t h e Black perspect ive. John has given us this perspec-t ive ," she asser ted.

Fol lowing t h e speeches t h e s tu-dents walked t o the f r o n t of Van Raalte and presen ted to the dean of s t u d e n t s o f f i c e a pe t i t ion t h a t had been c i rcula ted earlier t h a t day. T h e pe t i t ion called fo r t h e r e ins t a t emen t of Jackson and in-creased s t u d e n t input in decis ions tha t direct ly a f f ec t t h e m .

IT WAS circulated f r o m 11 a.m. t o 3 p .m . by several s t u d e n t s and accord ing t o McLean, " o v e r 6 5 0 s t u d e n t s and f a c u l t y " signed it. The pe t i t ion was accepted by Associate Dean of S tuden t s Michael Gerrie as he indicated tha t D e Y o u n g was " in con fe r -ence . "

Af t e r receiving the pe t i t ion De Young issued a let ter to each pe t i t ioner . He did not waiver f r o m his posi t ion (anchor, March 23) but believed an explana t ion was necessary. DeYoung said, "1 wan ted the involved s tuden t s to k n o w 1 took their posi t ion seri-ous ly . "

The Adminis t ra t ive Affa i rs Board o p t e d to seek fu r the r input before tak ing act ion on the ad hoc C o m m i t t e e on C o m m i t t e e ' s repor t at its March 28 meet ing.

Each c o m m i t t e e involved in the p roposed revision will consid-er the r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s and relay their f ind ings to the Board by April 16. Dean of S t u d e n t s Robe r t De Y o u n g emphas ized that unless each c o m m i t t e e " eva lua t e s , its own s t r u c t u r e , " the repor t is al-most meaningless.

The six r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s made by t h e ad h o c c o m m i t t e e ,

called fo r the abo l i shment of sev-eral c o m m i t t e e s including t h e Stu-dent C o m m u n i c a t i o n s Media, In-te rna t iona l Educa t ion , and Admis-sions and Financial Aid C o m m i t -tees. T h e c o m m i t t e e also advo-cated cons idera t ion of the possi-bility of combin ing the f u n c t i o n s of the Adminis t ra t ive Affa i rs and C a m p u s Life Boards.

Dr. Eliot Tanis, p rofessor of ma themat i c s and AdAB cha i rman s ta ted , " T h e small a m o u n t of f eedback I've go t t en so far indi-cates that there ' s no ra t ionale a t t ached to the c o m m i t t e e ' s rec-o m m e n d a t i o n s . "

AdAB members who prefer red re ten t ion of b o t h the Sta tus and Advisory C o m m i t t e e s listed eff i-ciency as the n u m b e r one advan-tage over the suggested single c o m m i t t e e .

A f t e r 19 years of e m p l o y m e n t , Hyna , the senior ba rmaid at Skiles Tavern was ab rup t ly f ired Monday night by owner Dave Skiles. The dismissal came as a surprise to many H o p e s t u d e n t s and Hyna herself.

T h e sudden decision raised ques t ions abou t the reason for i t . The t w o p rop r i e to r s indicated that the ra t ionale was complex and business-related but when asked t o e labora te t h e y adaman t ly s ta ted , " N o c o m m e n t . " H y n a said that she was to ld she had " a poo r a t t i t u d e " by Dave Skiles.

A tavern e m p l o y e e revealed that Dave Skiles was irr i tated by her a t t i t u d e on t h e j o b and that she allegedly ignored h im. " S h e has been doing her j o b for m a n y years and hand led it e f f i c i en t ly , " the e m p l o y e e said. A n o t h e r em-ployee m e n t i o n e d tha t he r age might have been a f ac to r . Most of the emp loyees were shocked by her release. One said, " S h e loved her work and rare ly kep t a cus-t o m e r wai t ing ."

The re is talk a m o n g t h e Skiles employees of qu i t t i ng unless Hyna

is rehired. Because of her re la t ion-ship wi th many Hopei tes a boy-co t t of Skiles is seriously be ing considered by some s tudents .

When asked what her f u t u r e plans are H y n a replied, " N o t a d a m n th ing f o r t w o weeks . "

HYNA TEMPLE

Two Hope College anchor April 13. 1973

On taverns, etc. When we initially considered writ ing an

editorial concerning Hyna Temple , the

recently f ired barmaid at Skiles Tavern,

one person told us, " H o w tr i te and p e t t y . "

Perhaps t o some it is, bu t t o us it is

significant.

True, Hyna is not a professor or an

adminis t ra tor , but one must no t forget tha t

Hyna is a human being. For 19 years

anchor editorial

beneath her gruff, harsh voice was a kind

compassionate person who held a very

special place in her heart , for Hope stu-

dents .

She played a real part in the lives of the

many Hope s tudents who wen t t o Skiles to

talk and relax. Wednesday, everyone at

Skiles was asking why she was f i red. Ms.

Dolores Skiles, ex-wife of Mr. David Skiles

and part-owner of the tavern refused com-

ment , but several of her s ta tements hinted

to t h e fact t ha t Hyna was getting old.

At 65+ Hyna certainly wasn ' t in the

running for Miss America, bu t she showed

more spunk and drive than many people

half her age. Another disturbing point was

the manner in which Hyna was f i red. As

she was preparing to leave Monday night ,

Dave Skiles handed her a paycheck and

told her no t to come back t h e next day .

After her 19 years of service, Skiles'

t r ea tment seems cruelly inhumane .

But Hyna merely represents a phenome-

non which one can ' t escape even in Holland,

Michigan. Older people have no place. They

are pushed aside the minu te they admi t to

their age. In some cultures, elderly people

are regarded as the wisest in the society.

American society, however, cons iders ,

them a burden , and some even believe the

quicker they die, the bet ter . As we see it

though, the American a t t i tude toward old

people is merely a reflection of a deeper

and greater problem.

It is t he problem of placing pragmatics

over concern fo r the individual. It is also

the problem of a t tending church on Sun-

days, and pursuing one ' s own self interests

all week long; • ^ •

Too many people in power view their

subordinates as mere cogs in a machine.

Workers are viewed as impersonal devices

to be exploi ted until they no longer can

meet high, productive standards. Then they

are cast aside and left t o die.

If t h e denial of humani ty is the price we

must pay for eff iciency and increased

material ism, we should re-examine our

Christian perspective. So if any of you

believe writ ing about Hyna is tri te and

pe t ty you might well reconsider. She loved

s tudents , and her job gave her meaning and

wor th .

She was likewise a warm human being.

Perhaps as we grow older and enter society

we will become apathet ic and callous to all

this. God help us if we do .

Readers speak out

Calls for action I was extremely honored to learn tha t I

had been elected Hope 's S tuden t Congress President for next year. To all those w h o voted on election day, worked in the campaign and helped supervise the polls, I say thank you . You made my election possible.

BUT NOW we s tudents have got to get our shit (or s tuf f , if you 'd rather) together if we hope to have a say in what goes on at

dear editor

this college. We have the potent ia l to a f f ec t some needed - changes through our board and commi t t ee representatives.

Affect ing o ther policies and decisions will be harder but an organized s tuden t body can exert a lot of inf luence by carefully explaining to adminis t ra tors wha t our position is, for instance, on the hir ing and firing of people. What we need are s tudents willing to commit t ime, e f for t and intelligence to the task of expressing stu-dent opinion in the c o m m u n i t y govern-ment.

NEXT YEAR should be a challenging one fo r s tudent government at Hope. We'll be trying to give s tudents in the do rms more control over their living condi t ions . Evaluation of faculty and part ic ipat ion in

decisions affect ing facul ty members will also be sought .

Hopefu l ly , we can broaden our horizons somewhat and get involved in some of the larger c o m m u n i t y problems like fighting des t ruc t ion of natural beau ty by thought-less development . And, of course, we'll be dealing wi th a number of problems which are now unforeseen.

IF ANY of this sounds interesting to you 1 strongly urge you to get involved. Elections for the three policy boards will be coming up very soon and after that commi t t ee positions will be filled. Check the Daily Bulletin or call Kurt Avery or Terry Robinson about how you can partici-pate in s tuden t government .

I especially hope that some of you f reshmen will want to join us. The experi-ence that an old horse senior like myself can bring to s tudent meetings is impor tan t bu t we also need the fervor of young blood. Seniors are no tor ious for detaching themselves f rom active work on campus and enjoying their last year as if it was a golden re t i rement time. Students who are going to have to live with decisions made next year are needed in s tudent govern-ment because they will have the addit ional motive of self interest helping them to keep up their involvement.

So give it a thought , O.K? Ron Pos thuma

Mikle's work lauded Four years ago when the depa r tmen t of

communica t ion came into being, forensics was an al l-but-forgotten activity on the Hope campus, with the except ion of the interest in it by Associate Professor of Communica t ion M. Harold Mikle. During those four years of intensive e f for t and unselfish leadership, he has brought a dying program in to one of significant achieve-ment. As I look around t h e state of Michigan, I am led to the belief that t h e Hope forensics squad is the finest in the state.

Mikle has emphasized a program whose phi losophy is based in s tuden t involvement and educat ional experience. He has set aside a phi losophy which is nei ther s tu-dent-centered nor focused on long-term e f f e c t s - o n e tha t is highly c o m p e t i t i v e - a n d through his phi losophy has engaged t j ie e f for ts of approximate ly 35 to 40 s tudents .

I may be more aware of his e f for t s t h a n perhaps anyone on this campus, because of my intense interest in his program and t h e strides he has made. During the past week I had t h e sincere pleasure of traveling wi th him and the 9-member forensic squad t o the Pi Kappa Delta National Convent ion and T o u r n a m e n t in Omaha . T h e respect

and regard which s tudents have for him was epi tomized by their most conscien-tious behavior th roughout the week-long trip. I was gratified by the mature concern and responsible dispatch of their dut ies th roughout the week. 1 believe it speaks highly of the program he has developed and the discipline created.

At no t ime in the his tory of Hope and its forensics program has the college risen to the heights that were achieved this past week. The squad received superior recogni-t ion for their e f for t s . Each member of the squad con t r ibu ted his or her e f for ts to the best of their ability. When Hope College, a school of its size wi th a depar tment of communica t ion the size of ours, achieves national superior sweepstakes, the highest number of superior and excellent ratings, and the second highest number of poin ts awarded in a t ou rnamen t of approximate ly 200 schools f rom coast t o coast, I believe that we have made a real mark of distinc-t ion for o u r school and our depar tment .

I want to thank Mikle for the program he has created. It is one which is consistent with the phi losophy of Hope and t h e communica t ion depa r tmen t , and it is one tha t you should be mighty proud of .

Peter Falk playing his famous role of Co lumbo walked into the East Room of the White House in his dirty raincoat and flashed his police card. " Inspec to r Colum-bo , " he said showing it to President Nixon. "Say, this sure is a nice house you got here. How m u c h does a place like this cos t?"

"I 'M HAVING a private party for my s ta f f , " the President said indignantly. "What do you w a n t ? "

"Oh , 1 really apologize," Co lumbo said. "I d idn ' t mean to come busting in on a party. Say, is that a real oil paint ing of George Washington? It 's a fantast ic work of a r t - d o n ' t get me wrong, I don ' t know anything about pa in t ing ."

"WILL YOU state your business. In-spec to r?" " I 'm just making some rout ine inquiries about the Watergate bugging case. You see, I'm on loan to the Senate investigating commi t t ee f rom the Los An-geles Police Depar tment . It will only take a few minutes . "

"We have noth ing to hide here , " the President said. "This is my assistant, H.R. Haldeman, my legal aide, John Dean III, my former assistant, Charles Colson, the former secretary of commerce , Maurice Stans, and the former a t to rney general, John Mitchell, and his wife Mar tha ."

"THIS IS really a great h o n o r , " Colum-bo said. "1 never thought I would get to meet so many impor tan t people. Wait till 1 tell my wife. She's really going to be bowled over . "

"What exactly is it y o u want t o k n o w ? " the President asked.

" O H , YES," C o l u m b o said, taking out his pad and pencil. " N o w let me see."

Martha Mitchell said, " Inspec tor , I 'd like to tell you a few things about the Watergate. . . . "

"Mar tha , will you shut u p ? " John Mit-chell in ter rupted .

" T h e y ' r e not going to hang this on my J o h n , " Martha said.

" M A R T H A ! " "Can 1 of fer you a drink, Inspec to r?"

the President asked. "Jus t some orange juice if you 've got it,

Mr. President. 1 have a bad s tomach. You know in this job you never eat proper ly . Last night 1 had a tuna fish sandwich on a roll and. . . ."

"Will you get on with it, Inspec tor?" H.R. Haldeman said.

" I 'M S O R R Y , where was 1? Oh yes, now about the Watergate. This is just routine, you unders tand , but where were each of you the night of the break- in?"

"I was watching T a t t o n , ' " the Presi-dent said.

"I was in Mexico City at a b a n k , " Maurice Stans said.

"I was reading FBI files," John Dean III said.

" I WAS cut t ing the budge t , " H.R. Hal-deman replied.

"I ' l l tell you where John was," Martha Mitchell said.

"Mar tha , clam u p , " John Mitchell said. "Well if I don ' t tell him, I'll tell United

Press," Martha said. " Y O U S E E , " C o l u m b o said, shut t ing his

no tebook , "I knew this would all be a waste of t ime. I told them no one in the White House knows anyth ing about the Watergate. Say, that is some rug. Do you mind if I take a picture of it to show the folks in Los Angeles?"

Just then the but ler came in with Columbo ' s glass of orange juice.

" T H A N K YOU very m u c h , " C o l u m b o said to the butler , " I d idn ' t get your name ." r

"Al fonse , sir ." "Where were you on the night of the

break-in, Al fonse?" "I was polishing the silver." " Y O U ' R E LYING, Alfonse. You were

at the Watergate ." "See here, C o l u m b o , " the President

said, " y o u ' r e relying on hearsay evidence." " N o , I 'm not , Mr. President. This coast-

"My G o d , " said H.R. Haldeman, " t h e butler did i t . "

"WHY DIDN'T we think of t h a t ? " John Dean III said.

" T h a n k heavens, Columbo, you discov-ered the cu lp r i t , " John Mitchell said. " N o w we can all sleep ton igh t . "

Martha Mitchell piped, "Wait a minute , Mr. Columbo," there ' s a lot more to this than you t h i n k . "

" D a m m i t Mar tha !" yelled J o h n Mit-chell, "will you keep your big trap s h u t ? "

anchor review

Consensus and consciousness: The new rationality Editor 's n o t e : this week 's a^c/7or review is wr i t ten by junior psy-chology ma jo r Paul Bach. He re-views On Love and Other Essays by A.R. Orage. Janus Press.

There appears to be a consen-sus that the intellectual world is at present in a holding pa t te rn , await ing ano the r mind or set of minds which can propose a differ-ent mode of th inking or living which may be palatable in an era which appears to be distinctly d i f fe ren t f r o m those of the past.

R E A S O N HAS long been dead as a final answer ; rat ionali ty seems

to speak to t oo small a por t ion of the human experience. Heisenberg and technology seem to have set limits on the value of science as an u l t imate answer by quest ioning the suppos i t ions of causality and progress.

The populist movement spear-headed by Nader and John Gard-ner 's C o m m o n Cause has f ru i ted into an active issue in recent political campaigns, as well as giving impetus to popular cam-paigns like Key ' 73 , the entire Jesus Christ movement , con-sumer ' s power groups and envi-

He will be accompanied rison, assistant professor of music, by senior piano major Janet Kool-haas.

His program will include works by Handel , Brahms, Strauss, Jacques Wolfe, Faure, Delibes, Widor, and Peter Warlock. He will also present selections f rom Blue Mountain Ballads by Paul Bowles, and songs of Howard Swanson and Vic tor Hely-Hutchinson.

Leestma has been active in musical activities th roughout his four years at Hope. He is presi-dent of the Chapel Choir this year, and was earlier seen as Filch in the p roduc t ion of John Gay ' s The Beggars' Opera. Last year he played the role of Toby in a pe r fo rmance of Menot t i ' s The Medium, and unders tudied the part of Christ ian this spring in Jose Fer re r ' s p roduc t ion of Cyra-no.

ronmenta l p ro tec t ion groups such as the Sierra Club.

YET WHILE the masses will do the foo twork , they cannot be expected to develop a new men-tality wi thout the aid of some set of coherent ideas. The exc i tement over wi tchcraf t and astrology smacks of react ionary faddishness more than a new direct ion.

Thus, it vvas with no small a m o u n t of apa thy that 1 began to peruse a set of essays wri t ten before 1935 by an English jour-nalist about whom I had never heard or read; of low-keyed, nod-ding assent tha t comes f rom rec-ognizing an idea one has always held to be t rue but never bothered to art iculate. Alfred Richard Orage, in a col lect ion of essays ent i t led, On Love has tapped a vital not ion which is by no means new; if properly developed, it may well have some very modern im-plications.

THAT NOTION is conscious-ness. Man acts out of the neces-sities of chemis t ry , emot ional i ty and consciousness, says Orage. When man acts out of the necessi-ties of chemis t ry he is most like the animals and least in immediate control of his behavior. When he acts consciously he is most uniquely human and most in con-trol of his actions.

This observat ion seems almost al truism. One wonders why any-one would bo the r to make it. But in an age when it is c o m m o n to talk about genetic engineering, the human organism as a reactive mechanism, and symbiot ic rela-tionships between compu te r s and men in someth ing called a "cy-borg ," the simple realization that man alone appears to be capable to act out of his own conscious volition is refreshing.

A FEW things need to be noted at this po in t . First, Orage makes no a t t empt to def ine conscious-

ness. While that may well be a cop-out , it may also be that such a defini t ion is the job of a meta-physjcian or a motivat ional psy-chologist. Second, Orage is not trying to say that only man has the trait of consciousness, nor is he saying that man's only distin-guishing trait is his consciousness. The only s ta tement made is that man is capable of exercising his trait of consciousness in several instances and when he does exer-cise it, he is most in cont ro l of his behaivor.

Having set consciousness as his primary variable, Orage then goes on to speculate how it might serve as the basis for what we call soul, the way of establishing a sound

' love relationship and a manner for establishing religion as a viable human endeavor . His arguments are interesting at each point .

WHEN SPEAKING of the soul, aren't we simply saying that we are se l f - consc ious - tha t there is something, for the most part in-articulable, which gives rise to our feeling of emot ions which are in some connected in to the word l T?" Isn't there a recognition in each man that in himself resides an awareness, a con tex t for per-ceiving wi thout which we would recognize neither ourselves nor the rest of our world?

Regardless of the jibberish it appears to be when one tries to utter it, there is that base in each of us which we know, have always known, and it is inconceivable to know anything wi thou t . We call it soul, and because it has always been thus, we deem it immortal .

AND AS for love, well there are several kinds. But the type of love which one enters consciously, seeking out the beloved and con-sciously trying to provide for h im; anticipating the needs of the o ther individual and of the relationship, that is the type which best ap-

proximates happiness, which more likely guarantees longevity.

Religion is the conscious search for a relationship between man and that which lies beyond him. Whether anyth ing lies beyond man 's experience and knowledge, or what that thing might be is one quest ion. But that quest ion is not all, if any part of religion for Orage. That men do act as if something lies beyond them and the system of behaviors that are included in acting in such a man-ner are the substance of religion. When man consciously seeks af-finity with powers beyond him he is behaving religiously. W h a t ' h e finds in that search is ano ther type of ques t ion .

AND SO it goes. Man behaves consciously in several settings. When he does so we give a name to those sets of behaivor. If we are to unders tand those behaviors, we must consciously seek to behave in a like manner , at least vicarious-ly through the individual intellect. That , says Orage, is what we call unders tanding.

It is not a new idea, nor is it a complete one. It 's as old as Vat-syana's aphorism, " t h e applica-tions of proper means may be said to be the cave of gaining all our ends . " It is what Carlos Castenada means in part by the 'warr ior mental i ty , ' " k n o w what you mean to do, then do i t ."

It is as simple as IBM's exhor ta-t i o n - ' T H I N K . ' Yet the exploita-tion of consciousness is an idea too easily translated into pa t , and therefore inadequate methodolo-gies. Consciousness is just return-ing to our vocabulary as a mean-ingful word and that meaning which is just pointed toward by Orage may well be a new mile-stone in human intellectual growth.

Take heed: Reefer Madness is

coming to Hope.

Baseballers finish spring trip with 1-8 slate by Merlin Whiteman

The Flying Dutchman baseball team's march through Georgia and Tennessee over spring break was not nearly as devastating as Sher-man's , however, it did leave room for opt imism.

Even though they won only one game out of nine ( that being a fine three-hit shu tou t pi tched by sophomore Mark Johnson against Sewanee), the record hides some interesting facts.

Hope lost two games in the last inning t o a team that has finished second in the NAIA national tour-nament for the past two seasons. They lost a second game to that team, David Lipscomb, when the Nashville nine pushed across two unearned runs in the first inning to defeat the Dutch 2-1.

Lipscomb is current ly ranked third in the NAIA, and spor ted a 13-2 record when Hope opened their spring tour against them. "We played very well against Lip-s c o m b , " said head coach Jim Bult-man, " a n d that was encouraging."

Bultman assessed the spring trip in this way. 4 iOur pitching started to come around at the end of the trip. (Gordon) Alderink and Johnson did a great j ob for us. The hi t t ing was spot ty and our fielding was not as good as we thought it might have been . "

The hi t t ing of Brad Lyons was lauded by Coach Bul tman. He pointed ou t that Lyons ' homer against Lipscomb was on a field without a fence which made his four-bagger even more spectacular because of the senior first base-

Many cuts

man's speed. Kurt Avery's hi t t ing, the only o the r average above .300 was also praised.

In their first game of the sea-son and their first encoun te r with Lipscomb, Hope took a one run lead in to the b o t t o m of the sev-enth. In the t op of that s tanza, Hope took the lead on t w o runs on walks to Steve Westra and Steve Kupres a f t e r the bases had been loaded. However, a triple with two on and t w o out spelled doom for the Dutch in the sev-enth. Two hits apiece by Lyons and Avery, and a double by new-comer Jim Wojcicki, were the hitting highlights for Hope.

The Dutch next traveled to Berry College in Rome, Georgia for three games. Hope lost all three games and scored only one run in the process; Final scores were 5-0, 3-0, and 4-1. Third baseman Tim Fritz had the best single game, going 2 for 3 in the third contes t , and scoring Hope 's sole run. Westra's double was the only extra base hit of the series.

Hope 's game against West Georgia was a real slugfest, the final score being 12-6 in the nine-inning contes t . West Georgia broke up a 3-3 tie in the f i f th inning with three runs, and plated what proved to be the winning run in the sixth.

Avery led the Hope batsmen collecting three hits, including a home run and a double , in four appearances. Fritz collected two hits in five t imes to the plate.

The doubleheader against Se-wanee saw Johnson put together his masterpiece in the opener . He

was not overpowering, as he s truck ou t only t w o bat ters , bu t his con t ro l was excellent . Hope scored the winning run in the first when Gary Cons tan t walked, stole second, and was driven in on a single by Bob Lamer. Lyons paced Hope with a three fo r four perfor-mance including a double and two runs ba t ted in.

In the second game of that doubleheader , Sewanee sneaked by Hope 3-2 when they scored two runs in the b o t t o m of the seventh. Hope had been ahead by virtue of Westra's single in the second which drove in Fri tz and Cons tan t .

Coming back home, Hope played two more games with David Lipscomb. The Dutch 's sole run of the first game came on Lyons ' blast in the f i f th inning. Thir teen Dutchmen whiffed in that game.

In the nightcap, all the scoring was finished af ter the first inning. In the top of the first, Lyons tripled and Lamer followed with a single to account for Hope 's only score. In Lipscomb's half of the first, they scored t w o unearned runs to clinch the win.

As a team, Hope hit an even .200 during the nine game trip. But it seems that it wasn't a mat ter of hit t ing, bu t rather of hitt ing at the right t ime, because the Dutch left a total of 65 runners s t randed.

Lyons led the team in hit t ing clubbing out 11 hits in 31 trips for a .354 average and four extra base hits. Avery hit .320 to finish in second place. Af te r this it falls

off to Lamer and Kurt Pugh who bo th who hi t .222. Fri tz hi t .214 and Constant .207, the only o the r players to t op .200.

Johnson paced the pi tching staff pi tching ten scoreless in-nings, and allowing six hits. Aider-ink had a 1.38 ERA in 11 2 /3 innings, and t o o k the lost in the third Lipscomb game. Freshman Bob Klomparens had the best cont ro l down south , five hi ts in the 112/3 innings he worked .

Hope was to open their MIAA

season at Calvin t o m o r r o w , but the game could be quest ionable because the mois ture and the fact that Calvin is playing on a new field.

Bul tman indicated that he felt that Albion would have to be considered the favori te right now in the league. "However , the league is wide open just as it always is. The league season hap-pens so quickly tha t it goes to whoever gets ho t for three weeks ."

AdAB seeks input from committees, holds action continued from page 1 mittee with its present member -ship ."

Both the Advisory and Depar t -mental Review commit tees were originally established on a one-year basis as special aids to Van Wylen in his first year of off ice .

Comment ing on his role within the Status Commi t t ee , Van Wylen said, "Maybe the Status Commi t -tee would func t ion be t te r if I weren ' t involved in i t . " He also stated that it is " n o t my job as

president to evaluate individual faculty members . "

According t o the Board 's blue-prints, the Sta tus Commi t t ee would consider all quest ions of facul ty standings, in addi t ion to making recommenda t ions to the adminis t rat ion on p romot ions , ap-poin tments , salary and tenure.

The Board agreed with Van Wylen that the Advisory Commit -tee should cont inue in its present role of supervising the overall de-velopment of the college.

Fiscal proposals released by Dave De Kok

The recently organized Student Appropr ia t ions Commi t t ee re-leased its budgetary recommenda-t ions for the 1973-74 year Wed-nesday.

THE COMMITTEE was estab-lished to set priorities in allocating funds for student organizations and to give s tudents a greater voice in determining where their money goes.

The commit tee recommended the anchor receive $17 ,077 .50 , Association of Women Students , $1,145, Milestone, $13 ,180 , Opus, $1,700, Student Activities Commit tee , $14,330 (when reve-nues f rom admission fees are added, the total is $22 ,330) , Stu-dent Congress, $800, and WTAS, $4,970.

MARK DEROO, chairman of the commi t t ee , emphasized that these recommendat ions were not final and could be revised by Student Congress. Organizations

not satisfied with their budget allocations have the right to ap-peal them to the Congress.

DeRoo stated the commi t t e e received approximate ly $72 ,000 in budget requests. This had to be t r immed considerably, though , as the commit tee received $54 ,582 f rom the Business Off ice to dis-burse.

"EACH BUDGET was c u t , " DeRoo said. "We left a $2 ,379 .50 discretionary fund for campus groups to request money f r o m for campus-wide activities next yea r . " He pointed ou t this f u n d could be increased or decreased if neces-sary.

The a m o u n t given the Commit -tee to work with was basically the same as the total amoun t spent on these organizations last year, De Roo said. He a t t r ibuted the fact that no increase was given to " t h e general financial condi t ion of the college."

HOPE C O N T R O L L E R William Anderson said that the Business

Office, "gave the Commi t t ee what we felt the college could af ford to give." He stated if t he Commit tee felt the s tudent organizations needed more money to offset higher costs in fu tu re years, the s tudent activities fee would have to be raised to gain addit ional revenue.

Anderson pointed ou t the fee had no t been raised since it was inst i tuted in 1971. He added the commi t t ee could request more money this year but "1 doubt if the College would give i t . "

D E R O O WAS impressed with the work of his commi t t ee and felt they made fair decisions in each case. "We held objective dis-cussions with each.organizat ion at which they gave jus t i f icat ion for the various i tems in their budgets ."

He added these discussions helped the commi t t ee members in making decisions on budget i tems only a person f rom the organiza-tion would be knowledgeable about .
