THE CONCERT, which will culminate a week-long residency on campus will begin at 8 p.m. in the Holland Civic Center.

The Great Performance Series is co-sponsored by t h e Holland Concert Association and the Hope Cultural Affairs Committee.

Single admission tickets cost $4, but will not be sold unti l 15 m i n u t e s be fo re t h e concer t , if seats are available.

THE COMPANY will present a series of lecture-demonstrations on the Hope campus from Monday, January 23 thru Saturday, Janu-ary 28. The demonstrations are open to individuals ou t s ide t he

college. Thei r r e s idency is pa r t i a l ly

funded by the National Endow-ment for t he A r t s and the Michigan Council for the Arts.

REDLICH has directed his own company s ince 1966. Since t h a t t ime he and his company have made e x t e n s i v e nat ional t o u r s throughout the United States. In New York, the company participa-ted in t he Billy Rose T h e a t r e fes t iva l of A v a n t - g a r d e dance (1969), the ANTA Dance season (1971), the New York City Spring Dance Festival (1973) , and New York's Dance Umbrella (1977).

It has also produced its own seasons a t t he T h e a t r e of t he Riverside Church, the Space for Innovative Development, the Hen-ry Street Playhouse and the Mary-mount M a n h a t t a n T h e a t r e . The company represented the United States in the 1969 International Festival of Dance in Paris.

THE COMPANY has participa-ted in the National Endowment for the Arts dance touring program

since 1969 and has been a partici-pan t in t he federa l ly - sponsored artists-in-schools program since 1972.

Redlich received a B.S. degree from Winona State College and did graduate work at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. His profes-sional dance training consisted of many years of study with Hanya Holm.

BEFORE c r e a t i n g his own company, Redlich danced in works by Hanya Holm, Doris Humphrey, Helen Tami r i s , Anna Sokolow, John Butler and Murray Louis. He has choreographed for the Nancy Hauser Dance Company of Minne-apolis, Mordine and Company of Chicago, and Po r t l and Dance Theatre of Oregon, and Israel's Bat-Dor Dance Company. He also directed "Woyzeck" for the Na-tional Theatre of the Deaf.

Currently on the dance faculty of Sa rah L a w r e n c e College, Redlich has also taught at Adelphi University and Juilliard School's drama division.

Employment favorable for '78 grads Job prospects for college grad-

uates look better for the second y e a r in a row, accord ing to a survey of employers just conduc-ted by the College P l a c e m e n t Council. However, hiring is expec-ted to be selective, as it was last season, with employers primarily seeking top students, CPC said. Nearly 600 employers participat-ing in the s u r v e y ind ica ted , overa l l , they expec t to h i re 16 percent more new college gradu-ates than in 1976-77. This follows an 18 percent increase reported las t y e a r a f t e r two consecu t ive years of reduced hiring.

Super Gonorrhea threat

Since the mid-60's, when oral contraceptives became generally available, the number of cases of in fec t ion with t he bac te r ium Neisseria gonorrhoeae has risen at an annual rate of 12%.

Today gonorrhea is an epidemic disease out of control.

Since the infected are predomi-nan t ly ado lescen t s and young adults, students should take notice of the fact that the disease is losing its "easily cured" reputation. A new strain of gonerrhea-producing bacteria manufactures an enzyme that kills penicillin, the antibiotic used to fight the disease.

The new strain is reported to be cropping up at a ra te of two or three cases per week in the U.S.

The National Center for Disease Control recommends tha t a patient with gonorrhea be checked seven to fourteen days after t reatment to confirm cure.

If a patient is still infected after t rea tment , he should be treated with another, hopefully effective antibiotic.

Lanthorn Grand Valley Sta te College

"An even brighter note is the fact that 70 percent of the respon-dents expect business conditions in their organizations to improve in the first half of 1978 while only five percent forsee a decline," CPC sa id . The r e m a i n i n g 25 p e r c e n t anticipate no change from the last half of 1977.

The council said employers who provided comments were unani-mous in expecting opportunities to remain excellent for "qualified" minorities and women, particular-ly those with technical or business backgrounds, as employers seek to satisfy affirmative action commit-ments.

Employer competition is expec-ted to remain keen for engineers and for computer science majors. Demand for business and account-ing is seen as beginning to soften as the supply of candidates grows, while "other ^nontechnical" grad-uates will have to work at finding job opportunities, using imagina-tion and ingenuity.

The council said one of the major factors in bolstering this year 's p i c tu re is t h e inc reased h i r ing expected by the federal govern-ment following a substantial cut-back last year. Currently, employ-m e n t o p p o r t u n i t i e s in t h e Civil Se rv i ce m e r i t s y s t e m , cove r ing a p p r o x i m a t e l y 80 agencies , a r e expected to increase by 23 percent for all fields of study surveyed. This should offer a ray of hope for liberal ar ts graduates in particu-la r , t he council sa id , s ince t h e federal government is one of the largest employers of such grad-u a t e s . G o v e r n m e n t r e p r e s e n t a -t i ve s cau t ioned , howeve r , t h a t hiring needs are subject to change and are highly competitive. With-out the federal job openings, the "other nontechnical" category in the CPC survey is projected for a one p e r c e n t d e c r e a s e a t t h e bachelor's level.

Following the pat tern of recent

years, engineering openings show the strongest upsurge, with a 27 percent improvement anticipated at all degree levels. The largest gain is p ro jec t ed for Ph .D. engineers - a 52 percent increase over 1976-77.

The n u m b e r of jobs in the "sciences, math, and other techni-cal" c a t e g o r y is expec ted to increase ten percent overall, with

Science dept. gets Grant

The Dow Corning Corporation of Midland, Michigan has awarded a $2,000 grant to the Hope depart-ment of natural sciences for the replacement of equipment.

The grant was announced by A.N. Hainline, manager of govern-ment r e l a t i o n s and communi ty affairs for Dow Corning Corpora-t ion, accord ing to Dr . Wheldon W e t t a c k , Dean of t he Na tu ra l Sciences at Hope.

"This grant has an immediate impact on the life of the College as it seeks to maintain an excellence in the sciences," said Wettack.

State college costs up 5.4%

The average cost of tuition and fees for s ta te resident undergradu-a t e s t u d e n t s rose 5.4 pe r cen t b e t w e e n S e p t e m b e r 1976 and September 1977 at member insti-tutions of the American Associa-tion of Sta te Colleges and Univer-s i t ies . The associa t ion said t he average undergraduate tuition at a s tate college or university is now $587 a year for state residents and $1,519 for nonresidents. State resi-dents pay an average of $669 for g r a d u a t e tu i t ion while nonres i -dents pay $1,511.

Dean's list declines sharply

By Philip Vander Haar

There has been some confusion as to why the G.P.A. required to make the Dean's List has changed over the last year. Registrar, Jon J . Huisken, said that the action to change the required G.P.A. was t a k e n a t t he Oc tober 6, 1976 Academic Affairs Board meeting.

The requirements for the Dean's L is t we re changed f rom a 3.3 G.P.A. to a G.P.A. in the top ten percent of the student body. That ac t ion changed t he r e q u i r e d G.P.A. to approximately a 3.6.

Huisken said that it was the Provost David Marker's decision to make the change. Marker felt that the Dean's List should be an

honor and that it had lost some of its significance.

This change has cut the number of students making the list in half. Numbers dropped from about 600 under the 3.3 requirement to 303 last spring: under the new specifi-cations. Tnis fall's Dean's List will be released this week.

Huisken said, "There are some r u m b l i n g s for c h a n g e . " Some people have complained about the new requirements. They feel that there should be a set grade point for the Dean's List so the student who really wants to make the list knows wha t to shoot for . This matter will be taken up at the meeting of the Academic Affairs Board later this year.

Nyenhuis receives committee appointment

Dr. Jacob E. Nyenhuis, Dean for the Humanities at Hope, has been appointed to the executive com-mittee of the Michigan Council for the Humanities.

The appointment was announced by Dr. John W. Eadie, professor of h i s to ry at the U n i v e r s i t y of Michigan and cha i rman of the council Dean Nyenhuis has been a m e m b e r of t he Council since December, 1976.

The Michigan Council for the Human i t i e s is a s t a t e -based p r o g r a m which r e g r a n t s funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities for funding adult, community discussion programs on public policy issues . Any non-profit organization, branch of s t a t e or local g o v e r n m e n t or educational institution is eligible

to apply. Grants range from a few h u n d r e d dol la rs to $20,000 and more.

Under a current $604,000 Grant from the National Endowment for the Human i t i e s , t he Council is funding projects that are appropri-ate to its theme, "Knowledge and Power: Humanistic Values in the Shaping of Public Policy." Grant p roposa l s a r e s u b m i t t e d to the Michigan Council for the Humani ties office on a quarterly review and funding.

Lake Michigan receives protection After four major toxic chemical

c o n t a m i n a t i o n s in the las t two decades , it looks like Michigan may finally get some protection from the insidious spread of toxic chemicals.

In a jo int p r e s s con fe rence Wednesday, it was announced that Senator John C. Hertel, sponsor of legislation to regulate toxic chemi-JglS cals, and Representative Thomas J . A n d e r s o n , Cha i rman of the House Conservation Committee, have reached agreement on modi-fication of the Senator's bill.

This ends a legislative impasse over the proposed law. Senator Hertel, commenting on the delay said, "It was widely known that R e p r e s e n t a t i v e A n d e r s o n and I have had some differing opinions on this legislation. I am very proud of the way this disagreement has been handled . R e p r e s e n t a t i v e A n d e r s o n has worked pa t i en t ly and diligently towards a solution that will be to everyone's benefit."

The major difference between the Hertel proposal that passed the S e n a t e last sp r ing and the

House version is the addition of a new responsibility to the regula-to ry board . Not only will the new board regulate toxic chemi-cals but it will also review environ-men ta l impact s t a t e m e n t s for governmental building projects.

Senator Hertel added, "I think that it is very important that there have been virtually no changes in t he p o w e r s and du t i e s of th is agency with regard to toxic chemi-cals. It would have been a grave and wasteful error to make this a board t h a t had only adv isory respons ib i l i ty as some have suggested. Our past experiences have indicated to us that advisory boards are toothless tigers who only waste the taxpayer 's money by coming up with advice that is rarely followed."

The next step for the bill will be a hearing before the full Commit-t e e on Conse rva t ion , which is schedu led on J a n u a r y 18, 1978. With the agreement reached, it is expected that the bill will receive legislative approval sometime this spring.

Foreign language chairman appointed The appointment of Dr. Ion T.

A g h e a n a as cha i rman of the department of foreign languages and li teratures at Hope has been announced by P r o v o s t David Marker.

Dr . Agheana will hold the academic rank of associate profes-sor of romance l anguages . His initial appointment as chairman is e f f e c t i v e t h r o u g h t he 1980-81 academic year. He plans a spring visit to Hope before assuming his responsibilities in August.

Dr . A g h e a n a comple ted his undergraduate studies in English and Spanish at the University of B u c h a r e s t in Romania , and re-ceived his M.A. and his Ph. D. in

Spanish from Harvard University, where he served as a teaching fellow in Romanian.

He has served as an assistant professor and associate professor of romance languages and litera-tures at Dartmouth College since 1970, teaching Spanish, Romanian, Italian, and French and directing fore ign l anguage p r o g r a m s abroad.

Dr . A g h e a n a ' s main a r ea of specialization is prose and theatre of the Spanish Golden Age. He has pub l i shed a book and s e v e r a l articles, one of which is included in a collection of the best essays on the Don Juan theme.

Faculty focus By Harry Boonstra Director of Libraries

In discussing the announcement of t h e new e lec t ronic secur i ty system, the library staff wondered about the best way to intimidate future pilferers. Perhaps we would spread the word that "electronic" meant that the culprit will get zapped with 1000 volts as (s)he tries to slink past the circulation desk.

OR we would tell people that a trap door will open into a tank of piranhas on loan from the Biology Department.

The sys tem enta i l s nothing quite so drastic, however. But it will, we hope, be effective. Here's how it works:

THE BOOKS, and other library materials, are provided with an electronic detection device. As the book is presented at the circula-tion desk, it is "desensitized", and you can proceed th rough the sensing unit. If the book is not properly checked out, the gate will lock and a buzzer will sound at the circulation desk.

The new procedure should present no problems for the user, and will not change or slow down

the checking out of books. (As you wpII know, our p rocedure for filling out the cards is elaborate and slow enough as it is; we'll work on that next.)

THERE MAY be an occasional false alarm with the new system. We promise not to pounce on you or frisk you or turn you over to the police. We'll just try to keep false a l a r m s to a minimum, and we apologize to you in advance for those that may occur.

Is the security system neces-sa ry? Yes. Our accumula ted (permanent) book loss is stagger-ing. There are also many other books which are t aken out "illegally" for a few hours or days, which may then turn into weeks or months. Even these books are in effect "lost" to other students and faculty, since the library has no way of determining where these books are.

ONE MIGHT wish tha t a security system were not neces-sary, but a realistic appraisal of our situation demonstrates that too many people are plagued by too many missing books. The cost, both in financial and scholarly terms, is simply too high for us to cont inue our p resen t "open" policy.

Along with the installation of the security system the library has also begun a systematic procedure of replacing missing books. This project may take 2-3 years, but at the end of that time we promise: If a book is in the card catalog, it will be available for your use.

McCombs works displayed

Bruce McCombs, assistant Pro-fessor of Art at Hope, recently had a print added to the permanent collection of St. Johns University, St. Cloud, Minnesota.

McCombs is also having a one-man exhibition of his work at the Jesse Bessen Museum, Alpe-na, Michigan, and has severa l drawings included in an Invitation-al Drawing Exhibition at Emporia State College, Kansas.

New Year: More awareness??? by Lois Maassen

Students have traditionally regarded a new semester as one might a new year: it is a time for making new resolutions, new friends, new social connections, new study disciplines. W h a t is needed on Hope's campus is a new spirit of aliveness, one that will include social and political awareness and action as well as some kind of zest and energy for academia.

T h a t today's college generation is apa-thetic and unaware is well documented and often rationalized. The most common explanation for the phenomena is that the students are tired; they've exerted all their energy in the previous decade, fighting against the Vietnam War and for Civil rights.

Students who were involved in those conflicts are hard to f ind, and noble as we might like to think we were, most of us were only eleven years old when most of the work in those movements was being done.

Another explanat ion for youth's policy of non-involvement has been that Nixon's downfall so disillusioned rising genera-tions that they shun politics for fear of gett ing burned . To-begin with, it is hard to imagine that this disillusionment runs very deep when any mention of Nixon's n a m e or plight elicits giggles.

Secondly, ten years ago the effects of the chain of events surrounding Nixon's resignation would have been to incite more involvement to improve and re-store the system. It would not have become an excuse for copping out.

A third reason given for r ampan t apathy is that youth today need to be

Greeks helping society Dear Editor:

In this season of fraternity and sorority Rush, I think it is necessary that the Hope students be informed of the role played by the fraternities and sororities within the college and the community. Often-times, it seems that the student body is unaware of the activities which the Greeks have been involved in throughout the semester.

In an effort to bridge this communica-tions gap, I will briefly set for th a few of the projects which the Inter-Fraternity Council was involved in last semester. Of course, in addit ion to the activities listed, each fraternity and sorority has had their own individual projects for the semester.

One of the main projects IFC did last semester was Greek Week. During Greek Week, a collection was taken u p for the March of Dimes from the student body. This collection amounted to $136.45. To this amount, IFC added $100.00, bringing the total to $236.45.

Also during the week, open houses and the IFC dance in the Armory were held. T h e final event of Greek Week was the annual IFC Talent Show, which recorded the largest a t tendance ever.

more concerned with f inding a career and financial security. If this is t rue, no one is talking abou t it. There are vague rumblings about job direction, but no one is willing to admi t to any enthusiasm for capitalist success.

These are the major rationalizations generally accepted today, but none of them seems ultimately to be very f lat tering. It seems we ought to have a better opinion of ourselves t han to admit to any of these being true.

Richard Brooks, director of "Looking for Mr. Goodbar," commented: "What do kids believe in these days? Politics? Mar-riage? Children? Church? Nothing. They are not comitted to anything at all." Per-haps it mat ters less what we are com-mit ted to than tha t we are committed.

Certainly a m o n g the Hope communi ty there are diverse interests and opinions; we ought not be afraid that they will clash. Some kind of battlefield would provide a healthier environment than the passionless existence we share today.

It cannot be said that there are no cur-rent issues which might invite involvement. President Carter has been pursuing a number of ma jo r policies, most of which will have great effect on the fu ture of our security or f inancial well-being.

These include T h e Middle East, Russia and SALT, energy, employment measures, trade negotiations, relations with Panama and Cuba, and environmental and energy policies. Surely this is enough relevant issues f rom which to choose a few to care about .

W h a t if one realizes that he simply does not care as m u c h as he would like to? Pretend to care. Read newspapers, maga-zines, talk to special interest groups. Sooner or later something or someone will irritate or inspire you, and you may be moved to action -- or at least perhaps a hint of that passion which we need if we are to assume any kind of meaningfu l control of our own futures.

Last semester, IFC sponsored two ser-vice projects for the Holland area. T h e first one consisted of ushering at the tennis exhibition put on by the Women's Junior League Club. T h e second service project involved cleaning up a house in Zeeland which will be used to house people with mental disabilities.

In addit ion to these projects for the community, IFC has also tried to aid the student body. An example of this is the bus rented by IFC to take students to the Civic Center for the Dave Brubeck concert. Also, Jim Pancy, cha i rman of IFC's Park-ing Committee, has prepared a report which explores the reasons for the raising of the student park ing fees.

I hope that this brief letter informs the student body of a few of the less-publicized activities of Greek life.

Sincerely, Carl Toren Secretary-Treasurer, IFC

Friends wanted Dear Student Editor:

My name is Will iam Gledhill and I 'm an inmate at Attica Prison in New York. I am writing to you with the hopes that you can put this letter in your campus newspaper. I don ' t get any mail f rom home and tha t can be pretty hard on any-one in my position. I would be happy if anyone is willing to correspond with me.

Solutions for middlemen Dear Editor:

T h e recent letters and statements in-volving Mr. Daudt, Mr. Bareman, and the anchor editors have raised valid points. As Daudt states, it is the anchor's respon-sibility to provide accura te informat ion to the campus, to replace rumor with fact . Bareman, on the other hand , is in a sensitive position. He cannot af ford to be misquoted, to misstate himself, or to mistakenly divulge certain informat ion to which he is privy. T h e anchor is in the middle . There is a possible solution, which allows Bareman to protect himself, Daudt to be informed, and the anchor to inform the campus .

Questions given to Mr. Bareman could be answered in writing. In this way he could not be misquoted, the anchor would not be caught in the middle, and the campus would be informed. T h e r e are obvious problems with this scheme (paper deadlines, lack of spontaneity, hedged answers, no response at all, etc.) but at least no one could refuse an interview on

the grounds of be ing misquoted. Sincerely, J . Cot ter T h a r i n , Cha i rman Geology Depar tment

On two subjects Dear Editor:

Due to my sources inside the adminis-trat ion I have f o u n d out tha t the Associa-tion of W o m e n Students is going to sponsor a protect ion system for women walking on campus . T h e main par t of the plan calls for shotguns to be placed at strategic places on campus . Personally I feel tha t tactical nuclear devices would be much more effective.

On another subject I have a question to ask the s tudent body. My question is, why don ' t the s tudents of Hope College get involved in some of the organizations on campus? Not only does it look good on a resume, but one may learn something.

Reflections on Japan: Part Three This is the last in a series of

articles in which President Van-Wylen reports on his visit to fapan last November. Those interested in the possibility of spending a May Term in fapan are referred in particular to the last paragraph of this article.

D u r i n g a vis i t to J a p a n , one cannot avoid e x p o s u r e to t he religious heritage and practices of the Japanese people, for Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples are present everywhere, often with many people in attendance. Shin-toism is the original religion of Japan, while Buddhism came to Japan from Korea and China in the sixth century.

IT IS difficult for a westerner to really understand the religious life and p rac t i ce of t h e J a p a n e s e people. One reason is that Shinto-ism and Buddhism flourish side by side and both make a profound jmpact on the life of the Japanese people. Shintoism is very much related to patriotism and to the worship of ancestors.

It appeared to me that many Japanese do these things out of tradition ra ther than as a formal religious practice. Buddhism, on the other hand, is a more formal religion based on the teachings of Buddha, with priests and struc-t u r e d t e a c h i n g s and re l ig ious p rac t i ce s . Buddh i sm has had a number of reform movements and even today there are a number of different Buddhist sects.

A FURTHER complicating fac-tor in understanding the religion of Japan is that it is difficult, and perhaps impossible, to separate what is cultural from that which is religious.

One way in which this became

With t he coming of t he new year, so comes the third of Hope's m a j o r p roduc t ions of t he yea r . "Life With Father", which went into rehearsal this week for a F e b r u a r y 23 opening , is t he beginning of an exciting semester of thea t re at Hope. "Life With Father" is d i r e c t e d by senior Susan Moored, an occurence that is new to Hope College Theatre.

THE FOUR mainstage produc-t ions a r e usual ly d i r ec t ed by members of the faculty or guest directors, not students. The show also has a student designer, Grace Tannehill, who also designed the costumes for last year's production of "Woyzeck. "

Rehearsals can't begin without a cast however. Director Moored, a f t e r t h r e e days of aud i t ions , s e l ec t ed t he fol lowing cas t for "Life With Father." As the father and de f in i t e man of the house , sophomore Eric Fitzgerald. Play-ing Vinnie, the mother, will be senior Amy Mills.

TWO FRESHMEN, Mark F a r n s w o r t h and J o n a t h a n Hon-dorp will portray John Day and Clarence, respectively. The show has roles for two children, Harlan to be played by 11 year old Steve Ralph, and Whitney, portrayed by 12 year old Shawn Hubbell.

O t h e r m e m b e r s of t he cas t include Debbie Grimm as Mary;

evident to us related to the tea ceremony. Many readers have, no doubt, seen the very gracious and delightful tea ceremony performed by Japanese in this country. One of our friends of many years has a daughter, now a college graduate, who has been taking instruction from a teacher of the tea ceremony for the past few years.

WE WERE inv i ted to the i n s t r u c t o r ' s home one evening , where the daughter performed the tea c e r e m o n y . I t was in th is setting that I sensed a religious c h a r a c t e r to the t ea ce remony, somthing I had never been aware of in this country. I asked the t e a c h e r if, in fac t , t h e r e was religious significance to this tea ceremony.

His response was that there was and that the tea ceremony can s e r v e as an in t roduc t ion to Buddhism. I am sure that for many people who p rac t i ce the tea ceremony, this is only cultural and not re l ig ious . Yet , it was most interesting to learn of the close connection between religion and culture in the tea ceremony. I am sure there are many examples of th i s s ame in te rac t ion be tween religion and culture in our own country.

MRS. VAN WYLEN and I had one o t h e r e x p e r i e n c e which we found most i n t e r e s t i n g . One morning our host. Dr. Gordon Van Wyk, took us to a most remarkable Buddh i s t worsh ip serv ice spon-sored by a Buddhist sect known as Rissho Kosei-kai. This sect is a r e f o r m m o v e m e n t which was s t a r t e d by a l ayman, Nikkyo Niwano, in 1938.

The worship service we atten-ded is held each morning from 9:00

Paul Danie ls as Rev. Lloyd, Marvin Hinga as Dr. Humphreys; and Mike McFaden as Dr. Somers. The cast is completed by Abby J a y n e playing M a r g a r e t , Pamm K a m m e r a a d as Annie , Ka th ie Smith as Delia, Glennyce Russcher as Cora and Mary McDonald as Nora.

BESIDES director Moored and c o s t u m e des igne r Tannehi l l the p roduc t ion s taff includes scene designer Richard Smith, lighting designer Michael Grindstaff, Tech-nical Director David Banta, Stage Manager Donna Doherty assisted by Karen Puschel, and assistant to the director Michael Smit.

"Life With Father" will open February 23 in the Main Theatre and run February 23-25 and March 1-4.

Vickers shows works

P a i n t i n g s and d r a w i n g s by Robert Vickers, professor of ar t at Hope is currently on exhibition in the main gallery of the Bobbitt Visual Art Center on the campus of Albion College.

T h e exhib i t ion , open to the publ ic f r ee of c h a r g e th rough January 29, consists of 22 works.

to 9:45 in a most r e m a r k a b l e bui ld ing known as the G r e a t Sacred Hall. This is a large circular building and in the center is the main auditorium which seats 800 to 1,000 people, which is open right to t he top of th i s s ix-s tory building.

SURROUNDING th is la rge open area are three or four stories of open balconies and in the front is a large stage, with a statue of Buddha. On the third balcony is a mass ive pipe o rgan . The e n t i r e building is plush and ornate and reminded me in many ways of the classic opera halls which we re built in this country about the turn of the century.

Yet, the building was equipped with modern electronic equipment including a very complete closed circui t TV s y s t e m . In the basement was a very modern and complete cafeteria.

THE EMPHASIS in this Budd-hist sect is on sharing, small group d i scuss ions , and openness with each o t h e r , much of which r e m i n d e d me of similar move-ments in the Christian Church in this country. It is significant that th i s was a lay movemen t in Buddhism and this also has its counterpart in the church in this country.

Par t of the operation of this sect involves bringing people to this facility for a two-day conference, during which they attend these morn ing worsh ip se rv ices and then have discussion g roups throughout the day. One sensed that this movement had touched many people at a very personal level, something which the more formal Buddhist practices have not been able to do.

JUST adjacent to this Great Sacred Hall was Fumon Hall, reportedly the largest auditorium in the Far East. This building, built by this same Buddhist sect, was completed in 1970 and has a tremendous stage and seats 5,000 people in a most luxurious fashion. It was most interesting to see the kinds of reform movements taking place within Buddhism.

The last experience I will share was a visit to Meiji Shrine in Tokyo on a S a t u r d a y morn ing . This day a p p a r e n t l y coincided with part of a national children's week. There is a practice in Japan of bringing children to this shrine on their third, fifth, and seventh birthdays (the practice is some-what different for boys than girls but I did not catch all the details).

MEIJI SHRINE covers a large park area, and on this day there were thousands of families with their children all dressed up in t he i r f ines t kimonos, b r ing ing their children to the shrine for this ceremony. This is, of course, a Shinto practice, and as I indicated, it seems to be more of a cultural than a strictly religious activity.

The day after we visited Meiji Shrine we attended a Japanese church. What really struck us was that this was children's Sunday at church and the building was filled with children and their parents. The sermon (so we were told) was really for children and parents, and a f t e r the se rv ice all the children went forward and were in t roduced along with the i r parents.

IT WAS most significant to us that the church was also celebrat-ing children's week, as a part of the national culture, while at the same time placing this particular celebration in a Christian context.

This leads to my last observa-t ion. Wha t is the impact of Christianity in Japan? On the one hand, one can say that it is far g r e a t e r than one would expec t considering that only one or two percent of the people are Chris-tians. There are Christians in all sorts of key positions of leadership in g o v e r n m e n t , educa t ion , and business.

MEIJI GAKU1N University has p ionee red the d e v e l o p m e n t of Christian social work in Japan and it has made a very s ign i f ican t impac t . Thus t he impact of Christianity, both through indivi-duals and in certain organizations, has been very great.

Yet, I came to understand very keenly t he g rea t d i f f icu l ty of developing a strong, viable church in a culture that has developed on the basis of a non-Christian reli-

Page 5 ion. There are many outstanding h r i s t i an s in J a p a n , ye t t he i r

c o r p o r a t e life as a Chr i s t i an Community and their impact on society is rather limited.

AS I reflected on this I was reminded that in the West it took several centuries for the Church to have a profound impact on culture and society, and that even now there is need for renewal in the Church in this country, both in the liVes of individuals and in their corporate impact in society.

J u s t one final t h o u g h t . As I shared in an earlier article, each s u m m e r we have a g roup of J a p a n e s e s t u d e n t s f rom Meiji Gakuin Un ive r s i ty who spend eight weeks in this country. Of this t ime , they spend four or f ive weeks at Hope in an American experience program.

I AM always sorry that they are on campus when very few of our students are here, for it would be a wonde r fu l o p p o r t u n i t y for our students to get to know Japanese students.

One of the things which Meiji Gakuin Univer s i ty would ve ry much like to do is to have a similar o p p o r t u n i t y for Amer ican stu-dents to spend some time in Japan. We a re now exp lo r ing t he possibi l i ty of some kind of a May/June Term in Japan centered in Meiji Gakuin University. The thought would be that the total trip would be four or five weeks of which three would be spent at Meiji Gakuin University.

THERE ARE three possibilities for the academic component. One would be an introduction to the life and cu l tu re of J a p a n . We also thought that perhaps some of our s tudents interested in the oocial sciences might like to have the opportunity of seeing how Meiji Gakuin has provided leadership in this regard in Japan.

We also thought that it might be ve ry i n t e r e s t i n g for bus ines s students to have an exposure to business practices in Japan. All of these are being explored at this time. Any students who would be interested in participating in this are urged to get in touch with either Dr. Paul Fried or Mrs. Alma Scarlett in the International Edu-cation Office.

Oh God! By Andy Topp

Oh God! How often do we ab-sen t -minded ly use t ha t phrase? When we stub our toe, get into an argument, or fail a test, the words almost instantly "pop" out of our mouths.

WELL, that phrase is also the title of a new Warner Brothers motion p ic tu re s t a r r i n g George Burns and John Denver. It is an extremely humourous film but it is also ou i t e se r ious and very through provoking.

The humour comes in qui te c lear ly when God shows up in Jer ry ' s (John Denver's) bathroom in the form of George Burns. An old man wear ing the typical clothes of an American fisherman with thicl^ glasses is hardly the image t h a t most people would associate with God.

BESIDE his appearance, he has come to choose Jerry, one of the most unreligious people around, to be his messenger! "Messenger?", says Jerry . "Yes," says God, "Go to the newspapers and tell them what I have said." "But they will say I'm crazy."

Nevertheless, Jerry does go and they think that he is insane. This then becomes the public's general view of him throughout most of the movie and he does quite a few strange and funny things to back up the idea.

EVEN WITH all the humour, the seriousness of the movie is self evident. The message that Jer ry is to toll tKo rest of the world about is that God does exist! That he wants us to stop fighting, begin loving each o the r , and t ha t ne created this world to work and work well.

It is up to us to do it. Burns (God) also says that if we do not change then this world is soon going to destroy itself. What could be more serious than a statement like that? In our world today it is a credible statement and the advice of God offers a light of hope to us.

WITH t he many profound statements that are in this movie it is obvious that a lot of thought went into this film and it provides a lot more food for thought for the viewer. Is it not quite possible that God could come as someone like George Burns?

After all, we are all created in the image of God. What is going to happen to our world if we do not change it? Would we accept the challenge that Jerry did if God asked one of us to be his m e s s e n g e r ? All of these a re t h o u g h t provoking ques t ions which one cannot help but wonder about after seeing this film.

THEREFORE, what a r e we going to do about this world? Are we just going to sit back and let things keep going the way they are? Or are we going to use the

New French program offered

Hope recently received a $6,000 grant from the Exxon Education Foundation to implement a new program in teaching elementary French.

THIS PROGRAM is patterned after a highly successful education-al method adapted to undergradu-ate instruction in 1967 at Dart-mouth College in Hanover, N.H.

The p r imary ob jec t ive of the program will be to enable students to acquire a comfortable communi-cation knowledge of French in a very shor t t ime, according to Prof. John Creviere, associate pro-fessor of French and director of the program.

IT FEATURES increased con-tact hours, the use of students as apprentice teachers, the integra-tion of l abora tory work with course objectives and the creation of a posi t ive l inguist ic atmos-phere," said Prof. Creviere.

According to Prof. John Rassias of Dartmouth College, "By empha-sizing language for communication and by creating an environment conducive to second language acquisition, the Dartmouth Inten-sive Language Instruction Model has rev i ta l ized and s t r eaml ined the audio-lingual approach.

CREVIERE a f f i rms t ha t the t e chn iques and a t t i t u d e s devel-oped by this model facilitate and encourage communication in the t a r g e t language by reduc ing inhibitions, fostering spontaneity and eliminating the fear of making errors.

Students in the new program will meet twice each day - or^ce for an hour of " m a s t e r c lass" and again for an hour of review and reinforcement.

CLASS SIZE is de l ibe ra te ly small to maximize s t u d e n t re-sponse. The master class i^ limited to twenty students and the review and reinforcement sessions, which are conducted by student appren-tice teachers, are limited to 10 students.

Ideal ly each s t u d e n t should respond over 60 times in one class session, a very significant increase in response compared to the more traditional audio-lingual approach. In view of the increased number of contact hours and student respon-ses , v i r tua l ly no homework is required other than daily work in

gifts that God gave us and reach out our hand to our neighbor to help him along?

If so, then remember; the next time you stub your toe, get into an a r g u m e n t , or fail a t e s t and exclaim "Oh God!," realize what you are saying and add a prayer of thanks to him also, for being so patient with us.

(Lansing) The Michigan Con-sumers Council has a 1978 Con-sumer Calendar available for con-sumers who want to know more than the date.

"Certain consumer problems are seasonal," said Executive Director Linda Joy . " T h a t ' s why we 've des igned this ca lendar . Each month describes a particular con-sumer problem and gives an appropriate phone number to call for assistance. For example, many consumers have trouble making ends meet right after the holidays. That's why January tells about our

brochure, "What to Do When You Can't Pay Your Bills."

"Many consumers don't realize t hey can call to l l - f ree to some government agencies for help with ce r t a in p rob lems , " Joy added . "We've included as many of those n u m b e r s as possible in the calendar."

Consumers who would like a copy of the 1978 Consumer Calen-dar can wr i t e t h e Michigan Consumers Council, 414 Hollister Building, 106 W. Allegan, Lansing, Mi., 48933. There is no charge for the calendar.

The opponen t for Sa tu rday ' s home basketball game has been changed , accord ing to a th le t i c director Gordon Brewer.

The Dutchmen will play North-e a s t e r n Illinois Unive r s i ty of Chicago instead of Chicago State College. The game will be held at the Holland Civic Center begin-ning at 8:00 p.m.

B r e w e r said the change was n e c e s s i t a t e d because Chicago State officials failed to return a contract that had been negotiated ve rba l ly b e t w e e n the schools. Chicago State underwent a change in a th l e t i c d e p a r t m e n t staff recently and when it was deter-mined that a contract for the game did not exist the Chicago school had already filled its schedule to the maximum of 27 games allowed by the NCAA.

N o r t h e a s t e r n Illinois has an e n r o l l m e n t of 7,000 s t u d e n t s . Earlier this season they lost to Grand Valley State College.
