Higher Horizons Receives OEO Grant of $11,190 Grant Is One Of Four in Area; Begins Next Fall The Hope College Higher Hori- zons Program has received an $11,- 190 grant from the U. S. Office of Economic Opportunity. This grant, which represents one of the four distributed to the State of Michigan, provides for a full time director, the employment of professional consultants and an activities fund to be used by program participants during the 1966-67 college year. The grant required 90 per cent of Higher Horizons participants to be from poverty backgrounds. Pov- erty conditions are defined as a $3,000 yearly income per three de- pendents and an additional $500 allotted per additional dependent. This grant may extend the Higher Horizons Program to include all of Ottawa County and cooperation from Grand Valley State College. Current expenses for the 1965-66 year were aided by a $1,300 grant from the Greater Holland Commu- nity Foundation. A contribution is given yearly by Hope College in- cluding in this donation the use of office facilities and consultation services. The value of this contri- bution is estimated at $1900. The Higher Horizons Program of Hope College is intended to aid chil- dren who are not able to take maxi- mum advantage of the normal classroom approach to learning. A one-to-one relationship between a college student and a school child the basic means used for this end. Activities may include cultural enrichment activities; tutoring; study aids; development of skills, hobbies and talents; imparting of values and ideals.

Hunold on European Unification

Common Market Not the Key The goal of the Common Market

is the political unification of its member nations into one European federation. According to Dr. Albert Hunold, Swiss economist visiting Hope, the basic conviction that eco-nomic union will lead eventually to political union is " a naive belief in the face of history."

Dr. Hunold expressed this con-troversial opinion during his lec-ture last Wednesday in Snow Audi-torium. Director of the Swiss In-stitute of International Studies and in the words of Dr. Paul Fried, "an extremely well-known Swiss conservative economist," Dr. Hun-old spoke on the topic: "De Gaulle, Erhar t . Wilson and the Common Market ."

The desire for one great Euro-pean nation can be traced back twenty years to a speech made on the subject of unification by Win-ston Churchill, said Dr. Hunold. This desire is expressed today in two different European organiza-tions: the six-nation Common Mark-et and the more loosely connected European Free Trade Zone.

Dr. Hunold likened the problem of European unification to those which would be created "if the United States and the other nations of North and Central America were to unite." He asked if we would

DR. ALBERT HUNOLD

allow ourselves to be ruled by the votes of Panama , Guatemala. Costa Rica and Mexico. Could we submit ourselves to decisions which "could influence the very heart of our nation?" he asked.

This is the same question which disturbs De Gaulle, and accounts for his activity at the present time, he said. He wishes to "shape Eu-rope to suit him and F rance" before

the method of voting is changed and France loses its veto power.

Eventually the problem comes down to the inapplicability of laws of natural science and economics to a society. Just because economic ties are established is no assurance that cultural and social unification will develop and that nationalism will be forgotten, Dr. Hunold said.

Speaking of Chancellor Ludwig Erhar t of Germany, who has been an acquaintance of Dr. Hunold for over twenty years, he stated that he believes that E r h a r t is "not greatly sympathet ic" toward the goals of the Common Market.

Although never having met P r ime Minister Harold Wilson of England, Dr. Hunold has no confidence in Wilson and said that the conserva-tives in Switzerland "hate Wilson like poison." The Labor leader never uttered a word of socialism until the socialist victory following the Second World War. Then he joined the Labor Par ty "for opportun-istic reasons." Dr. Hunold express-ed "great pessimism" about Eng-land and said that Great Britain's "slipping into socialism is a great t ragedy."

In brief. Dr. Hunold's talk paint-ed a very dim picture for the dream of European unification de-spite the economic success of the members within the Common Mar-ket.

Patient Administration of Le Loi Funds Urged By George Arwady

Shortly before vacation Dave Vander Wei, Rohn Ritzema and Wes Michaelson conferred with the co-ordinators of Michigan State Uni-versity's Vietnamese village pro-ject, Judith Rice and Karen Radom. They had just returned from a trip to South Vietnam which included a visit to the hamlet of Le Loi. Slides and photographs of Le Loi were studied, and the conditions in the hamlet were discussed in thorough detail.

According to Miss Rice and Miss Radom, Le Loi was in greater need of assistance than any other hamlet or village they visited. The most pressing need is for additional school facilities. Presentlv, there are three small worn-down.bamhrvo-thatched classrooms that are being used for the education of the ham-let's 450 children. New and modern classrooms will be the first im-provements to be made possible through the Hope-Holland-Hamlet Fund.

The hamlet is also in great need of health facilities. The closest doc-tor to Le Loi's 1.800 residents is eight kilometers away, and there are not even adequate maternity

facilities in the hamlet. The estab-lishment of a health clinc for the hamlet will be made possible through the HHH Fund just as soon as arrangements for the purchase of materials can be made and the residents can begin work.

Both the school facilities and clinic will be built by the oeoole of Le Loi and will be done when and how they see fit. This pre-serves the "self-help" nature of the HHH project; HHH financial assistance only helps them to help themselves.

Wells for fresh water are another primary need for the hamlet. Pic-tures of existing crude wells were viewed at East Lansing, and it was obvious that such wells were inad-equate. Possibly, the HHH Fund will provide an electric pump to insure modern means for fresh water supply. Such pumps cost about $1,000, however, and the acquisition of such a pump will first have to be thoroughly discuss-ed with the people of the hamlet.

Tin for roofing was mentioned as another need. Most of the "houses" in the village consist only of bamboo-thatched walls and roofs. Naturally, such structures are very

prone to severe wear by the weath-er. Tin roofing, which is relatively inexpensive, is a most constructive addition to any of the homes.

Miss Rice and Miss Radom em-phasized that from the experience with their South Vietnamese hamlet, it is best to proceed slowly and pa-tiently in the administration of funds for improvements. Although the tendency is to desire an immed-iate transformation of the hamlet, it must be remembered that the final and most lasting effect of the project is the instillation of hope and confidence in the people them-selves, they said.

Thus, the purpose is not to give a "hand-out" to the people of Le Loi but rather to help them realize that they can play a part in im-proving their own lot. Also, the funds are merely provided for them and they build the facilities.

Farming and forestry are the

two main ocupations of the res-idents of Le Loi. But these activi-ties yield an average income of only $.60 per day for each family. It is easy to see why the village does not have the financial means to bring about the improvements which it desperately needs.

Careful steps have been made by the HHH committee to insure that any money sent to the hamlet will be thoroughly accounted for and used for the right purposes. Although this has involved two months of often frustrating work and correspondence with Wash-ington and South Viet Nam, the proper channels of communication have been arranged. It is hoped that the people of Le Loi will be able to start work on the school buildings very soon, with work on the other facilities to follow short-ly. The current political upheaval in South Viet Nam has temporarily hindered efforts, however, for a

Faculty Retirements and Resignations Announced

New Faculty Members Appointments Released

Dean William Vander Lugt has announced the appointment of 12 new professors to the Hope College faculty. In addition, he revealed that efforts are being made to ob-tain "at least four or five more" for the 1966-1967 academic year.

Coming to Hope as professor of speech and chairman designate of the speech department is Dr. Wil-liam Bos. Dr. Bos is presently a member of the faculty of Malone College in Ohio.

Dr. Elton Bruins, who received his doctorate from New York Uni-versity, and Robert Palma, current-ly completing work for his Ph.D. at the University of Edinburgh, will both assume positions as assistant professors of religion and Bible.

There will be two new additions to the history staff. As was announced in the last anchor, Mich-ael Petrovich, a Yugoslav by birth and a former State Department in-terpreter and escort officer, will be an instructor in history and polit-ical science. James Duram, Who expects to finish his doctoral work this June at Wayne State Univers-ity, will be an instructor in history.

Kurt Rothmann, a native-born German who will receive his Ph.D. from the University of Cincinnati in June, will hold the position of assistant professor of German.

Glenn Van Wieren will be an in-structor in physical education dur-ing Daryl Siedentop's leave of ab-sence. He has a master 's degree from Western Michigan University.

Dr. John Barlow, now teaching at the University of Indiana, will come to the psychology department as an associate professor.

With a doctorate from the Uni-versity of Wisconsin, Dr. Claud Crawford will assume the position of professor of education. He is presently instructing at Knoxville College in Tennessee.

To the political science depart-ment will come James Zoeteway as an assistant professor. He is also completing work for his Ph.D. at the present time.

Dr. Dwight Smith, teaching now at Weslyan, Connecticut, will be an associate professor of chemistry next year. His doctorate was earned at Pennsylvania State University.

To the position of assistant pro-fessor of physics comes Dr. Rich-ard Brockmeier. He received his Ph.D. from California Institute of Technology, where he is presently pursuing postdoctoral work.

Dean of the College William Van-

der Lugt announced that four Hope

professors will be leaving the fac-

ulty permanently at the end of

this year, and that five other in-

structors will be taking leaves-of-

absence during the 1966-1967 aca-

demic year to pursue post-graduate

studies toward the attainment of

their Ph.D's. Announcing their retirement were

Professor Edward Wolters and Dr. Tunis Baker. Mr. Wolters leaves his position of professor of Latin and chairman of the Classical languages after 40 years on the Hope faculty. Dr. Baker, at Hope since 1957, re-tires as professor of science educa-tion.

In addition to these retirements, two faculty members have submit-ted resignations to the Dean in or-der to accept positions elsewhere. Dr. David Powell, assistant profes-sor of history, is leaving. Next year he will assume the post of chairman of the department of social sciences at Nebraska's Wayne State Teach-ers College. Dr. Earl Hall has also resigned. He departs as an assist-ant professor of sociology and chair-man of the department. Dr. Hall has taught at Hope since 1961 and

The girls complimented the vis-itors from Hope again on the great success of the HHH Fund, em-phasizing that no student group anywhere in the nation has come close to carrying out such an am-bitious fund drive.

Glenn Pontier Wins Awards For Oratory Skill

Glen Pontier, a Hope sophomore, placed in two oratory contests dur-ing the spring recess.

He won first place in the men's division at the Michigan Intercol-legiate Oratorical contest at East-ern Michigan University at Ypsi-lanti on April 2. His oration, "A Plea for Understanding," brought second place and an excellent rat-ing in the Men's Sweepstakes at the Pi Kappa Delta Province Contest of the National Forensics Society on April 9 at Norwich University, Northfield, Vt.

Other Hope students won honors at the April 2 contest as well. Irene Maatman, also a sophomore, re-ceived an excellent rating in dis-cussion. A Hope senior, Ron Ovens, was given an excellent rating in oral interpretation, a non-compet-itive class of oratory. Also partici-pating in the contest were Bemice Van Engen, Jack Koch and Ray Fylstra. Mr. Harold Mikle and Dr. William Schrier also made the trip.

Hope was the only small liberal arts college at the contest in which 26 schools from eight states were represented.

Troubles in Vietnam continue. The Buddhists want ^no part of Premier Nguyen Cao Ky and insist not only upon national elections as soon as possible but also upon another interim gov-ernment (military or civilian, it makes no difference as long as Ky isn't in it). Thus, although Ky has promised to hold elec-tions as soon as a constitution is set up and voting machinery prepared, the Buddhists not onl^ refused to attend the political congress for preparation but re-ject the entire idea unless Ky is removed from power.

In the meantime the war against the Viet Cong continued although hampered by a lack of bombs, apparently not being un-loaded at Da Nang.

B-52's still blasted Viet Cong strongholds in the areas west and northwest of Saigon but on the ground, U. S. and South Vietnamese operations came to a near halt. However, the Wall Street Journal of April 11 states, "An American spokesman said there wasn't any link between the slowdown and political un-rest."

President DeGaulle continues to flex his muscles and his mouth by ordering the U. S. bases and the 30,000 U. S. troops out of France within one year, in direct contradiction to cur-rent treaties. The State De-partment rejected DeGaulle's deadline and said that U. S. troops would be withdrawn with-in two years and then only at the expense of France. Further, France will lose access to U. S. nuclear might in West Germnny.

Great Britain received permis- £: sion to use military force to prevent supplies from reaching Rhodesia.

Readers Speak Out

Dear Editor.. . Editor's note: All letters to the

editor, regardless of subject mat-ter, are welcome. They must be responsibly written, signed, approx-imatelv 300 words in length and submitted to the anchor office no later than 6 p.m. on the Wednesday before publication. Names will be withheld upon request, and pseudo-nyms will be accepted onlv if the identity of the writer is made known to the editor. All letters are sub-ject to editing.

This letter concerns the omission of certain items from the new Hope college "Bulletin" for 1966. No-where in the catalog is mention-ed the presence of a chapel system or certain college regulations which essentially, by their very existence, create a large part of that which is uniquely Hope college. This is not written out of a great concern for the traditional institution of chapel, though we believe its being is constructive and worthwhile; or out of a conviction which regards the various regulations of the school as absolute and vital but out of

a curiosity which questions why of these omissions.

the

Perhaps the enumeration of some minor and inconsequential rules in the previous catalogs was not necessary nor done in a positive light, but does that require no con-sideration whatever for what is so basic in this college's educational

ideal? Is this total absence of spe-cifics a misplaced concern for Hope college's public image? Is this not basically a misrepresentation offered to prospective students and possible future financial contribu-tors?

p a r Death of God -1

Tom Wolfe Comments on the

Present in 'Streamlined Baby'

i i r : ' Editor's Note: Robert G. Burton,

an instructor in philosophy, came to Hope in 1964. The following is a two-part series on the "death of God" controversy.

By Robert G. Burton I agreed to do this review know-

ing that no major or definitive works on the "death of God" theol-ogy are yet available. A book of essays, "Radical Theology and the Death of God" by Thomas J. J . Altizer and William Hamilton, is to be published this month by Bobbs-Merrill. Altizer's "The Gospel of Christian Atheism" is to be releas-ed by Westminster Press in May. I have been forced to rely on a series of short articles by the new radicals published in such religious journals as The Christian Century and Christianity and Crisis.

Accepting these limitations to-gether with those imposed by the length and popular nature of the Faculty Focus column, I shall con-sider three questions: 1) What are the new radical theologians trying to say? 2) What are some typical inadequate responses to the "death of God" theology? and 3) What is wrong with this new radical theol-ogy?

I What does it mean co say "God

is dead"? It would be well to re-member at the outset that God, if there is a God, is not a being who could die. From this it follows that on any literal interpretation the statement "God is dead" is as meaningless as the statement "Thursday sleeps furiously." Thurs-day is not the sort of thing which sleeps, and sleeping may be done restlessly but not furiously.

It is significant that Altizer is the only one of the new radicals who insists on a literal interpreta-tion of the death of God. He is not simply saying that modern man is incapable of believing in God, or that modern culture is idolatrous, or even that God has chosen to be silent in our time. He is saying that God, having disappeared from history, is no longer present for faith. He maintains that God's death is an event which has taken place in the context of human his-tory, but he has been either un-willing or unable to tell us approx-imately when the event took place and under what circumstances. Al-tizer argues that the "Christian Word" is real only to the extent that it becomes one with human flesh, and since the flesh of the historical Jesus no longer walks the earth, the "Word" of Christ can live only if it becomes incar-nate in our own flesh. But we must freely will the "death of God" if we would become the new incar-nation.

Paul van Buren does not use the phrase "God is dead" since it tends to distort and lead people to mis-interpret what he is trying to say.

For Vahanian the phrase only re-fers to the cultural phenomenon of secularization. He apparently feels that to carry Bonhoeffer's "religion-less Christianity" to its logical con-clusion as a totally this-worldly, "cultural vocation" devoid of all tendencies to become an esoteric, other-worldly mystery cult, Chris-tianity must become not only "re-ligionless" but also "Godless" (a

conclusion which Bonhoeffer would m doubt reject).

Hamilton views "death of God", as a metaphor which serves an in-valuable purpose "insofar as it irri-tates and gives offense". It is pre ferable to such similar phrases as "absence of God", "eclipse of God", or "the disappearance of God", because the metaphor of death suggests final and irretriev-able loss. The traditional dialectic between the presence and absence of God has finally collapsed never-more to be revived. As Hamilton puts it, "we are, after all, Chris-tians trying to make it without God." Hamilton finds a "new opti-mism" in his "godless Christology" which would articulate a radical "obedience to Jesus." The doctrine of sin is no longer a central doc-trine. The new feeling of hope in American life today is not blind faith in inevitable progress, but rather "a conviction that substan tive changes in the lives of men can and will be made." The civil-rights revolution is an important source of this feeling of optimism.

I I What are some typical inade-

quate responses to the "God is dead" theology? Perhaps the most revealing type of response is the one which would defend God. Do those who rush to God's defense really believe that he lives and reigns, that he is our defender and not vice versa? The defenders for-get that it is the theology which is on trial and not God. And in their misguided attempt to defend God, they frequently attack the theolog-

ians instead of the "death of God" theology itself.

Many frightened Methodists have been greatly relieved to discover that Altizer is only an Episcopal-ian. Furthermore he is not a clergy-man but a layman, not a theologian (in the technical sense) but an historian of religion teaching in the University and not in the Methodist seminary. There are people even at Hope College who gloat over the fact that Altizer recently gave his ailing, newborn son a " lay" bap-tism at the hospital only to have the sacrament repeated officially in church as a public act of grati-tude to the "dead God" who had given life to his dying son. We need not take such a man's theology seriously. It is at best a popular fad which, like the hula hoop, will pass.

Other responses are addressed to the theology itself and are inad-equate therefore not because they are totally irrelevant but because they are for the most part trivial. The mere novelty of the radical theology is no guarantee of its in-validity any more than the antiquity of the traditional Christian faith is proof of its truth. Nor is it a serious objection to point out that some of the language used is, if not contradictory, at least sensational and unnecessarily obscure. Altizer may yet explain why we must will the death of God if we would be-come the body of Christ. The ser-ious objection must be based upon the discovery of significant inad-equacies in the content and not merely the form of the "death of God" theology.

By Dr. Donald J. Savage In commenting on this collection

one had better avoid any further resort to alliterative device. The title automatically warns one a-gainst this kind of excess, even though excess is one of the author's favorite pasttimes. We find in this extended commentary on a affluent society an accompanying affluence in linguistic usage. License in man-ners is reflected by license in Inngu-age, and the appronriateness of style is at once weird, disturbing and entertaining.

The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby is a collec-tion of essays or sketches about contemporary U.S. society. By con-temporary I mean very recent. This is a book written in 1964 about 1964. Its concern is often with trivia—with male and female hair-dos, stretch oants, fuzzy sweaters, pointei-toed shoes, custom car styl-ing and the like.

Wolfe: 'Graphic Artist' Despite its contemporary quality,

the book is organized in an almost classical manner. The essays rre of fairly equal length, and the whole is divided into five oarts. each of which contains either six or five studies. I say "studies" be-cause part three is comoosed of drawings. The drawings admirably support the content of the essays

An 'Obituary' for God Editor's Note: The following, written by Anthony

Towne, is a satirical comment on the "God Is Dead" movement. This shortened version of an "obituary," written in the style of The New York Times, was excerpted from a longer article that appeared in Motive, a Methodist student publica-tion, Nashville, Tenn.

God, creator of the universe, principal deity of the world's Jews, ultimate reality of Christians, and most eminent of all divinities, died late yester-day during major surgery undertaken to correct a massive diminishing influence. His exact age is not known, but close friends estimate that it greatly exceeded that of all other extant beings.

The cause of death could not be immediately determined, but the deity's surgeon, Thomas J. J . Altizer, 38, of Emory University in Atlanta, indi-cated possible cardiac insufficiency. Assisting were Dr. Altizer in the unsuccessful surgery were Dr. Paul van Buren of Temple University, Phila-delphia; Dr. William Hamilton of Colgate-Roches-ter, Rochester, N. Y., and Dr. Gabriel Vahanian of Svracuse University, Syracuse, N. Y.

In Johnson City, Tex., President Johnson was described by aides as "profoundly upset." He at once directed that all flags should be at half-staff until after the funeral. The First Lady and the cwo Presidential daughters, Luci and Lynda, were understood to have wept openly. Both houses of Congress met in Washington at noon today and promptly adjourned after passing a joint resolution expressing "grief and great respect for the de-Darted spiritual leader." Senator Wavne Morse, Democrat of Oregon, objected on the grounds that the resolution violated the principle of separation of church and state, but he was overruled by Vice Resident Hubert Humphrey, who remarked that "this is not a time for partisan politics."

Plans for the deity's funeral are incompletp. Reliable sources suggested that extensive negoti-

ations may be necessary in order to select a church for the services and an appropriate liturgy. Dr. Wilhelm Pauck, theologian of Union Seminary in New York City, proposed this morning that ii. would be "fitting and seemly" to inter the remain.: in the ultimate ground of all being. Funerals for divinities, common in ancient times, have beer, exceedingly rare in recent centuries.

Reaction from the world's great and from the man in the street was uniformly incredulous. "At east he's out of his misery," commented one

housewife in an Elmira, N. Y., supermarket. In Paris. President de Gaulle in a 30-second appear-ance on national television, proclaimed "God is dead! Long live the republic! Long live France!"

Public reaction in this country was perhaps summed up by an elderly retired streetcar con-ductor in Passaic, N. J., who said: "I never met him. of course. Never even saw him. But from what I heard I guess he was a real nice fello".. Tops." From Independence. Mo., former Presi-dent Harry S. Truman, who received the news in his Kansas City barbershop, said: "I 'm always sorry to hear somebody is dead. It's a damn shame."

From Basel, Switzerland, came word that Dr. Karl Barth. venerable Protestant theologian, in-formed of the death of God. declared: "I don't l:now who died in Atlanta, but whoever he -vac he's an impostor."

Dr. Altizer. God's surgeon, in an exclusive inter-view with The Times, stated this morning that the death was "not unexpected." "He had been ailing for some time," Dr. Altizer said, "and lived much longer than most of us thought possible." Dr Altizer suggested, "God was an excellent patient, compliant, cheerful, alert. Every comfort modern science could provide was made available to him. He did not suffer—he just, as it were, slipped out of our grasp."

by illustrating basic types of char-acters and styles. As a graphic art-ist Wolfe exhibits a sardonic skill. His forms are skeletal and faintly obscene. Their style is a gross re-flection of fashion photography and akin to Dick Tracy caricateur.

The five parts are titled: (1) The New Culture Makers, (2) Heroes and Celebricies, (3) A Metropolitan Sketchbook, (4) Status Strife and the High Life, and (5) Love and Hate New Vork Style. The unify-ing theme of the book might be said to be the totems of present day American culture—things which money can buy or those things which we wish it could buy. Much space is devoted to the description of custom built cars, fancy apart-ments, glamorous styles. Although Wolfe seems to be concentrating on things which preoccupy the teen-ager, the adult reader may find disconcerting the fact that some of his own passions are reflected as well. The jump from hot red styl-ing to Detroit design is easily per-ceived after reading the title essay. < "Tangerine-Flake" is, in fact, the name of a custom auto paint color.) The adults in Wolfe's book are ore-occupied with more sophisticated trivia than are the teenagers, but veneer peels quickly when it is touched by the acid of Wolf's language.

Classicism and Slang

Wolfe's style is a strange combin-ation of esoteric allusion and mod-ern slang. In pointing out the fact that the demolition derby has be-come a popular pastime for east-ern socialites and professional men, he parallels the derby with gladi-iorial combat.

All of which brings to mind that fine afternoon when some high-born Roman women were out in Nero's box at the Colo-seum watching this sexy Thra-cian carve an ugly little Sam-nite up into prime cuts, and one said, darling, she had an in-spiration, and Nero, needless to say, was all for it. Thus began the new vogue of Roman social-ites fighting as gladiators them-selves, for kicks. By the second century A.D. even the Emperor Commodus was out there with a tiger's head as a helmet hack-ing away at some poor dazed fall guy. He did a lot for the sport. Arenas sprang up all over the empire like shopping center bowding alleys.

The opening of the first essay of-fers the most striking example of Wolfe's concern with the sound of words. Within the first paragraph he repeats the same three-syllable word fifty-seven times. The essay is on Las Vegas, and the word re-peated is the author's duplication of the continual sound of the one-armed bandits.

Total Effect Shattering "Las Vegas (What?)" is perhaps

the most revealing and exciting es-say in the entire collection. The author shows us the cheap splendor of the city and some well chosen examples of human deterioration. The total effect is shattering.

"The Secret Vice" and "The Nanny Mafia" are also memorable, lucid comments on our society. You, too, will have your favorites. If you read this book, though, read it soon. The bouffant hair style is al-ready out of date.

Muilenburg Relates Man's Humanity With God's Existence

Slowly drifts this school back into sunlight. Out of the caverns of Van Raalte and the dark, heavy rooms of the Science Building, kids wan-der around the new earth and sit, perhaps, in the Pine Grove. There they talk of warm cabbages and kings.

The talk is not much. The latest incident between Beer and Law is is discussed with judgment passed or jokes made depending upon moral persuasion and fraternity affiliation. Everyone seems glad and reassured by its not having been their party; at any rate, they would have been more careful. "Ahhh, they should be glad we're all not on LSD."

A stray pigeon struts on the grass and almost, but not quite, decides to eat some Salem cigarette butts.

A few students try to figure out

who went to Lauderdale and who just stayed home in the Bronx under a sunlamp. Status is awarded according to quality of the tan and the degree of general dissipation noted in the eyes. "I am so pasty white and icky," lamented Ethel Baum. "I feel like a second class citizen."

The more radically inclined sit about and discuss their next plan to demonstrate indignation with the chapel system. Plan "A" had been to hold a sit-down on the chapel stage so that neither a speaker nor the choir could get to the platform. Volunteers had offered to fling themselves on the keys of the organ when the prelude was to begin. But the "coup" fell through when the dissenters, to a man, overslept on the set morning.

Plan "B" is to go "en masse" to

Rieck Views the Need For Religion in Teaching

Teachers and their place in a religious liberal arts education was the subject of Dr. Norman Rieck's Centennial Lecture last Tuesday.

After a few introductory remarks he pointed out the fact that we live in a very complex world, with problems that do not allow them-selves to be solved by any panacea. But he regarded the role of teach-ers as extremely important in man's attempt to better his world.

Some teachers, he said, satisfy their own egos in militation against the mediocre, while others, whom he admired, dedicate themselves as servants, not to themselves, but to mankind, not to condemn or ignore mediocrity but to work with it in the attempt to raise standards of existence. This is the duty of a teacher, he said.

Science, said Dr. Rieck, speaking as a biologist, cannot supply all

the answers. It can analyze mech-anisms, and establish how things exist, but the question of spirit, of values, of right and wrong, he said, are beyond its area of in-quiry.

At some point, the scientific mind must be able to say, "I simply don't know," and appeal to faith for the answers. And when a teach-er faces this inevitable inadequacy to answer all questions, and hum-bles himself to faith, he said, "teaching becomes the most en-joyable experience of his life." The teacher who has faith only in science, and not in God, is ignoring half the questions and answers.

Religion, then is necessary to good teaching. There is a place for the Hope college graduate as a teacher in the chaotic world, not in spite of his Christian education, but because of it, he concluded.

HOP! STUDENTS ARE CORDIALLY WELCOME

a service and, when a particular outrageous passage is read from the Gospel, to march around the aisles singing freedom songs. Plan "B" is fated to also fall through be-cause none of the protestors know any freedom songs excepting the chorus to "Amazing Grace."

In another knot of students, men-tion is made of the virility of Dutch culture which is, after giggles, still equated with Tulip Time which leads to the idea of digging up this year's tulips and replacing them with mums which reminds someone to go downtown to look over the Hondas so everyone goes along. They walk through Centen-nial Park and, because they are freshmen, don't see the goldfish in the pond.

A few people continue to sit in the grove, book in hand, waiting for enlightenment or something. A bunch of small kids comes speeding bikes over the concrete, ringing bells, yelling and followed by a wildly barking black dog. They have mostly red bikes and, with a sudden noise, round the corner of Graves and are gone. "Damn" is the com-ment before a student begins the last chapter of "Anna Karenina" for the fourth time; "six long dry weeks."

Dr. James Muilenburg, in a Tues-day morning assembly lecture on March 29, stated that man in his search for significance in life must depend upon God for his humanity. In addition, man must avoid the spirit-body dualism, exercise his divinely given freedom to conquer the universe, explore the relation between a self and life and re-ject orthodox cliches, he said.

Beginning with the topic, "What It Means to Be Human," Dr Muil-enburg asserted that the signif-icance of human life is a problem which should trouble all students. The danger is that man should be-

DR. JAMES MUILENBURG

come indifferent toward this prob-lem or that he should conclude that his existence has no significance. Quick answers to this problem, however, are suspect. Dr. Muilen-burg declared that in the Hebraic-Christian impulse of human history as revealed in the Old and New Testaments, we find a significant disclosure of what it means to be human.

The existence of man i^ directly tied to the existence of God. Man's uniqueness depends on God's un-iqueness; to be without God is to be without a self, without one's humanity.

"The horrendous notion that the body — the flesh — is evil has had terrible consequences in his-tory. The flesh is good! The spirit of the breath of God is in every or-gan of the body." Man as a self is incomplete — he needs a self to complete the self. "The age-long urgency of the sexes for each other —the power of eros — is a divine urge emplanted in man by God which makes the relation between man and woman the greatest mir-acle and mystery of all creation."

Man represents God in the uni-verse; his duty is to subdue and rule over the universe. Science is not assailing the mysteries of the divine — rather science is the expression of man's divine impulse to conquer the universe. This is what it means to be created in the image of God."

Free-Sex Movement at Berkeley By Dick Shiels

"First it was free speech, then filthy speech. Now it is free love, as students continue to test the lim-its of the permissible at Berkeley,

So goes the now famous Time Magazine report of the immediately infamous California "nudie part-ies." An alleged nation-wide "free-sex movement," although less talk-ed about than this latest rage in partying, is really the subject of the report.

Great isn't it? Anyway I get the idea Time Magazine expects me to say so. I get the feeling I wouldn't be meeting up to the definition of college student if I didn't send away tomorrow for my "I'm-Willing-If-You-Are" button from Berkeley.

I ought to be testifying for sexual freedom, if not for sensual reasons, then for intellectual and philosoph-ical. After all, "man will become free only when he can overcome his own guilt and when society stops trying to manage his sex life for him." A Berkeley drop-out said as much. Time Magazine printed as much. I get the feeling 1 really ought to do my part.

I ought to be helping every self-respecting female I know to get past that stage where she's "asham-ed of her body," where she's "em-barassed by public nudity." It can be done you know: "A bright 18-year-old" at Berkeley "got over it."

The group out there at Stanford has drawn up a four-point creed on the legality of sex. Basically it comes down to doing away with all laws prohibiting any form of sex-ual activity, bisexual or otherwise, and using the Government's re-sources for progress in the areas of abortion and prostitution. (It's kind of clever the way they get four points out of that; you really ought to see that creed.)

They've also come up with a four-part series of suggested revisions in college regulations: Women should have no social regulations; open house hours in any residence hall should run around the clock; "truly co-ed housing" should be established once and for all; and the students should have access to all the birth control methods the situation calls for. Put them all together they spell "freedom." Or

maybe anarchy. Or maybe sex. Anyway, you can see that this

program just can't be beat. Who could be against it? And look at all the people for it: anywhere from 20 to 45 at Berkeley alone; three men and two girls at Stanford; and certainly lots of other people now that Time has let them know about it. . . .

Antioch College is an example of a small, liberal arts school that is feeling the results of all this. Their president, J.D. Dawson, instituted a "five-stage program aimed at forming a new college policy on sexual behavior" just last month. He took his problem right to ex-perts: the students.

The first stage constituted a meet-ing where he personally addressed the students. The next three were to be taped discussion periods in-volving students and interested faculty. The culmination of all this was to come in a meeting where students would lay their proposals before him.

Mr. Dawson figured he had it made. As president of the college, it wouldn't be his place to schedule come-as-you-really-are parties, but holding discussion groups would be innocent enough. And it would cer-tainly be a blow to student apathy, because everybody wants to talk about sex. And with a program like that, Antioch might even make Time Mi gazine. . . .

But the strangest thing happened: the whole program fell through. Almost nobody showed up to talk about sex! Those people that did come by refused to do anything more than listen. And the student in charge of the whole deal, a sen-ior named Craig Movsesyan, made the wildest statements!

He said students are "tired of the whole thing!" He even told the school paper that "what we really need to talk about is not sex but the other problems which make sex a problem for students." Other problems — like a student's lacK uf security and purpose — are more basic than sexual frustration, to hear him tell it.

Somebody ought to set that guy straight. He just doesn't seem to understand what it means to be a college student. And he'll certainly never get inside Time Magazine that way.

Basic Economic and Social

Needs Evident in Appalachia By Joan Remtema

Saturday evening, April 2. the hills of Kentucky appeared in the distance. We seven Hope students and our sponsor were .about to en-counter perhaps one of the greatest experiences in each of our lifetimes. The poverty program set up and publicized by the Student Senate was resopnded to by Caryl Yzen-baard, Sue Pickard, Judy Jensen. Laurie Noetzel, Gary Parker . Bill Wykhuis, Stan Voth of Young Life, who was our sponsor, and me.

Over the hollers and into the valley of Jackson County we found the Annville Institute which was to be our home for the coming week. The students and the faculty of the institute warmly welcomed us to their campus and helped us plan a schedule for the week. Briefly that schedule included a day spent with the ministers who served in the outlying churches, a county tour with a Vista worker, a trip to the coal mining area in Harlan County, a tour of Rerea College, observation and participa-tion in the classrooms at Annville. two panel addresses to the Annville faculty and a day in which we cleaned the church at Gray Hawk.

The people of Jackson County and the Appalachia area are pov-erty stricken but they are happy. The average family includes six to twelve children. Most families have one milk cow, a small vegetable

garden, and an acre of tobacco This tobacco crop usually brings if three or four hundred dollars a year. Few families have electric-ity, gas or running water. The children marry around the age of sixteen and few of them receive more than an eighth grade educa-tion. The Annville Institute, a high school for grades eight through twelve, has a curriculum which prepares the students to leave the hills and find higher education or better jobs.

These people are poor, but not without pride. They will welcome you into their home which is often no more than a two-room falling-down structure. But because it is their home they are proud of it.

The Mountaineer is very con-scious of his debts: he always gives pay or trade for something he re-ceives.

The mountain people are at least 25 years behind the rest of our country. They are not lazy. They work hard on their land but they can't get ahead. It's no wonder that they live for today or even for yesterday but seldom worry about tomorrow.

One week in the hills gave eight of us an insight into a culture com-pletely different from our own. We have become aware of the problems in this area. Now may we spread our knowledge and encourage oth-ers to action.

POVERTY—This was a typical scene witnessed by the group of students who visited the poverty-stricken Applachian area under the organization of the Student Senate Social Concerns Committee. Other students visited Brooklyn and Cleveland during spring vacation.

Students And See

Examine New York's Slums Riot-Causing Conditions

By Hans Vogelaar Why did we ^o to New York? It

is difficult to put into words what we saw, heard, and felt. I can try to tell what I learned and to give some of my impressions. We came in order to become more aware of a poverty situation and the causes behind it; and to learn what the churches and social organizations are doing to alleviate the problems of the people.

The director of Neighborhood Youth Corps told us that "if you're in education, damn the administra-tion. They always try to satisfy some political goal." He empha-sized that the people need direction and responsible, trusted positions in society; that a teacher has to act with and for the students, not just present the material and leave it go at that.

The educational system is corrupt and declining. Teachers are not competent enough to teach and can not teach sufficiently while trying to police the pupils at the same time. Facilities and schools to pro-vide education for everyone are lacking because the people are a forgotten people.

They are forgotten because they are not caught in the mainstream of the American dream of respec-table middle-class values; they are

He will speak at the SEA's banauet in P h e b s next Wednesday. Price for the dinner is $.25 for boarding students and $1.75 for non-boarding students.

forgotten because they are black Where have all the white men gone? Most of them moved out as soon as the first colored family 'huerto Rican or Negro) moved into the neighborhood or housing project.

When this happens the area soon becomes predominantly of lower-income status; the cost of living is unable to be met; families break up; fathers lose their jobs; young-sters loiter in the streets; and the problems invite crime and corrup-tion.

Politicians have to recognize that their constituencies are moving out of the city in situations' like this. Things are changing. Riots are caused because the people can't express themselves politically along any lines. They riot because the right to vote doesn't solve the basic-problems. It doesn't put anything into their pockets. They have al-ways been "the last to be hired and the first to be fired "

Addiction, alcoholism and delin-quency all show symptoms of deep inner conflict and frustration. An escape from reality becomes nec-essary. Adolescents seek safety, security and identity which is lack-ing in the home, in the street gangs. It is a false conception if one thinks of street gangs constantly fighting each other, however true that may be at times. Gang structure is pri-marily used for security and iden-tity.

It is also a false conception if one thinks that families on welfare are complacent, irresponsible, dirty, immoral and lazy. But I don't deny the fact that some people do take advantage of Welfare. For one thing, of these fatherless families. 78 per cent are children. Besides, it takes months before a family can receive aid once having applied In the meantime, they must live on the edge of subsistence or starve.

Welfare is also inadequate be-cause it offers no direction and re-sponsibilities for the families. A son cannot go out and make some extra money. Welfare gives a little and finds the chance to take a lot. For example, when the father of

nine children was murdered on the day of our arrival, and a good sum of money was donated to help the family, some of it was taken by Welfare.

On what grounds is this just? This is what the people fight against, including educational in-adequacies, lack of police protec-tion, unbearable housing, political injustices and much more.

This is where the Church finds action. There are many remark-able and courageous men working through and outside the Church. We saw much potential leadership among the people themselves. The people of the "ghettos" are con-cerned. ambitious and very angry. They are beginning to do some-thing about their problems them-selves. The Church can do much more to help them.

I do believe that if Christ is to come again, we will not find Him preaching on the shores of Lake Macatawa but in the "ghettos" of our slums helping his people. 1 think we, as the Church and part of the human race, must wake up to this fact, and must crawl out of our comfortable middle-class nut-shells to face and solve the prob-lems of an ever-increasing popu-lation, unless we want to deny the power of Christ's love and also agree that God certaintly is dead, which may be more convenient for us, and somewhat safer.

cmore Linda Kloote and freshman Richard Kooi. Norm Mol and 1 — all have been affected greatly by the problems of the inner-city and what is being done to solve them.

Although it is not the only crisis to be found in Cleveland, our chief concern was with the conditions of the Negro in the ghetto. Gross in-justice was lurking everywhere. But you have heard about all of this. And citing graphic details will do little more to your thinking about racial prejudice than perhaps to create some monetary pity.

Instead, picture these people in a new way: The mother of nine chil-dren whose husband has left her and who is accused of being "a lazy black bastard" because she lives off a monthly government check; the little boy shot down by a patrolman for trespassing in a condemned building; the unemploy-ed man who loses his job because he has never heard of the idea of being on time for work; the in-fant fatally poisoned by rat bites; the young man who supports his girl friend by soliciting for her up and down Hough Avenue; the twelve-year-old boy whom one of us overheard screaming in his sleep. "Why-ja always do me like that9

Why-ja always do me like that? Why?!"

Picture all of these people in a new way, as people who feel, "When you've been told you're no damn good for such a long time, you start to believe it."

A good deal of our week was spent with people trying to change this situation. We lived with a group of the Students for Demo-cratic Society, SDS. These people and many others maintain that the answer to the Negro's state is to change the society that has placed him there.

Another answer is offered to the Negro trapped in Cleveland's slums. It comes from concerned people who say the answer is to get dis-couraged ones back on their feet. They are the people who hold that we must attack social injustice on the individual level.

This second answer is offered by the young school teacher who mov-ed into an ugly apartment house and began re-making it into a home, a real home, for its 70 Negro families. Because of Ralph Deianey, Cleveland today has its own library, judo lessons for the boys, dozens of freshly painted rooms and several people ready to start living again.

So there are the mistreated ones, and two groups trying to help them. Those of us who met these people and talked to them are still think-ing. but we do not know what to say. We can sympathize with the picket who rebukes the political activist. "You can legislate this country upside down and it still won't mean a damn thing until people start lovin' each other and pitchin' in."

It is also important to consider the Negro's attitude toward you if you visit Cleveland; he may test you to find out if you really accept him. He will act cocky, question why you came, and ask how many Negroes go to Hope. Or the Negro mother who put you up for the week will say. just before you leave, "Come back and see the ghetto. You ain't really seen it yet. Don't forget us. Don't forget us."

The Negro is used to hearing us make promises. You say. "I want to help," and he will often merdy smile. But what are we going to do. forget them? The hour is very late.

Terpstra Hurls One-Hitter

Dutchmen Take Doubleheader Last year 's Little Ail-American,

Paul Terpstra, went to the mound for Hope College in the season's home opener, and threw a nifty one-hit shutout against Spring Ar-bor, walking three and striking out eight and winning 3-4).

Hope scored two runs in the sec-ond inning after the side had been retired in order in the first inning. After two were out, Don Troost was safe on an error by Spring Arbor's centerfielder. He then proceeded to steal second and advanced on to third when Dan Krueger belted a single. Clare Van Wieren thencleared the bases with a line double but was thrown out attempting to stretch his hit into a triple. In the second inning. Long got Spring Arbor's only hit of the game, a single.

In the fourth inning, after two were out, Troost belted a long home-run to put Hope ahead, 3-0.

The only time that Spring Arbor posed any kind of threat was in the last inning when, with one out, an error by Hope's rightfielder put a runner on. After another out, an error by the shortstop made it men on first and second with two out. But the next batter grounded out to Van Wieren and the game was over.

Van Wieren was one for two and had two RBI's. Troost was one for

Dr. Klaasen Suffers Stroke,

Is Recuperating Dr. Adrian Klaasen, professor of

Dr. Klaasen suffered his first stroke the week of March 7. He went to the hospital for tests which were to be concluded on March 25. Before the tests were completed, he suffered his second stroke and was taken to the Grand Rapids Hospital where he has begun therapy. He is expected to be home sometime dur-ing spring vacation.

Though he won't be teaching the rest of the semester. Dr. Klaasen should be ready to teach next fall. Of his absence Dean William Van-ucr Lugt said, "Dr. Klaasen is a man whose counsel Hope College will miss. We are glad to hear that Dr. Klaasen's illness is not serious and are looking forward to seeing him on campus again next fall."

two with one RBI and two runs scored. The only other Hope hit was by Krueger.

The second game began quietly with both sides being retired in order. In the second inning. Skip Nienhuis hit a single and reached third. Cal Beltman went in as a pinch runner and stole home. The next man up, Charlie Langland. belted a double and that was most of the action until the last two innings.

Spring Arbor got Sauer, their sec-ond batter, aboard with one out. Then their centerfielder, Bates, slammed a triple, driving one run across. Long then hit a single, bringing another runner across the plate. Coach Siedentop then brought in Gary Frens to replace Mark Johnson who had started. Frens got the next batter on a fly to cen-ter and the last one on a grounder to second.

Then Hope came to bat. After one man was out, Charlie Langland boomed a tremendous drive which landed on the rooftop of the build-ing just outside the ballpark for a 400 foot home-run. The next batter. Frens, walked. Beltman then ran for Frens and stole second. After a ground out, the next three bat-ters. Wayne Cotts, Troost. and Rog Kroodsma walked, forcing in the lead run. Then, Van Wieren hit a single to bring in another run. The fifth inning ended with Hope leading 4-2.

After Spring Arbor failed to score in their half of the sixth, Hope

scored on an error, a single by Langland, an error by the pitcher, and Terpstra 's single. The final score was 6-2.

The winning pitcher was Frens who gave up only one hit in two and two-thirds inning of relief work. Langland was the big man with the bat, going three for three with a double, home-run, three RBI's and two runs scored.
