The Hope Nykerk Cup Competi-tion makes its annual appearance this Saturday, October 29 at 8:00

.m. in the Civic Cen te r . The ykerk Cup Compet i ton allows

the women of the Freshmen and Sophomore classes the opportuni-ty to present their best in the fields of song, drama, and oration, while enjoying the spir i t of friendly competition and friend-ship.

A new aspect has been added to Nykerk this year. The traditional one woman orat ion has been eliminated, in favor of a new de-ba te s tyle orat ion. Two women from both classes will present the affirmative and negative sides of the quest ion, "The Ef fec t s of Modern Women's Liberat ion Movement on American Society."

The freshmen, coached by Pegi Nordby and Sheryl Radike, will be represented by Cathy Kline on the pro and Meg Biggerstaff on the con. The Sophomores, coached by Janet Cross and Jody Mutschler, will have Janis Lundeen present-ing posit ive aspects and Ann Helmus the negative.

The Class of '81, under the direc-tion of Catherine Van Mater, has

chosen "Corner of the Sky", by Stephen Schwartz as their song this year . An adapta t ion of Winnie-the-Poohr by A. A. Milne, is the f r e shman play selection, coached by juniors Lauri Kramers and Ibby Vanderwoude.

The sophomore class, under the direction of Lynn Ber ry , will present "Movin' On", by Raymond R. Mannisian for their song. The

Study before you sleep Are you the kind of student who

usually studies hard before going to bed, or the kind who goes to bed, sets the alarm for five or six o'clock and then crams? If you're a pre-sleep studier. Glamour Maga-zine reports you may be getting better grades as a result of your study habits than someone who does the work afterward.

Recent research into sleep and s tudy habi ts shows tha t sleep prior to study disrupts memory significantly, unless considerable waking t ime is allowed before digging into the material you want to learn. The shorter the period of sleep that precedes the studying,

the more this sleep d is rupts learning. Sleeping four hours or less was found to be highly distur-bing to memory; sleeping six hours disturbed it less.

Researchers aren't exactly sure how sleep disturbs the memory process, but they believe it might involve hormones. In laboratory t e s t s on mice, the hormore somatotrophin, produced naturally during sleep, severely affected the memory of mice injected with it.

If you have a test to study for, study first instead of putting it off until the next morning. Be t te r grades might be your reward.

Mandatory minimum sentence urged "The Number one concern of the

people of Michigan is violent crime."

This statement expressed the major reason why Senator John C. Her te l (D-Harper Woods) and Senator Patrick H. McCollough (D-Dearborn) have introduced legisla-tion which would require that a mandatory minimum sentence be served for every violent crime committed in Michigan. .Besides requiring mandatory minimums (without probation or suspension of sentence) the bills also establish s t andard sen tences for each violent offense.

THESE standard sentences are higher than the mandatory mini-mums and must be adhered to by judges, unless there are aggrava-ting or mitigating circumstances involved in the case. Senator Hertel emphasized that even in

cases of ex t r eme mit igat ing circumstances the judge could not give a sentence lower than the mandatory minimum.

The third major provision of the legislative package are bills which would establish a State Correc-tional Facilities Construction Fund which would be financed by a five year extension of the two tenths of one percent income tax which is scheduled to run out on June 30th of this year. The money raised from this tax extension could only be used to build new prisons or for the conversion of non-correctional facilities to prisons.

SENATOR McCollough ex-plained "The major a rgumen t against mandatory sentencing is that4We. do not have a place to put the criminals. ' We believe tha t mandatory sentences are needed to pro tec t the public. We also

believe tha t the public will be willing to pay for the protection. Besides it will be a lot cheaper in the long run in t e r m s of lives saved, in jur ies p reven ted , less hospital izat ion and proper ty damage, lower insurance rates and lower law enforcement costs."

Sena tor Her te l added, "We believe mandatory sentences will be a deterrent to crime, but most importantly we know that when a person is in prison for a specific length of time he cannot harm any law abiding citizen.

"NO WELL-MEANING social worker, clever attorney, or soft hea r ted judge will be able to p r even t the convicted violent o f fender from going to prison," added McCollough. "The major responsibility of any government is to protect its citizens and these

Christmas—giving a part of yourself Christmas is fast on its merry

way and it will be on top of us in a twinkling of an eye. This is the * season of joy, excitement, snow-men, hot chocolate, dr inking, sharing - it is a beautiful time. Being able to share with others makes this a very special time. Christmas is a time of serving one another; giving part of ourselves to someone who is in need.

This year the Christmas Tree Fund is about sharing and giving. It is not the traditional giving of money to a worthy cause as in past years. We want people to really experience the spirit of Christmas this year. v

The fresh new plan MOCP has is aimed at getting everyone excited about giving some material object that has some significant value to them, which goes to a large scale rummage sale. The Ministry of Chr is t ' s People is t ry ing to simulate what it means to give cheerful ly , as J e s u s Chris t dis-played when He gave His life for us so that we might experience real life.

MOCP wan t s the fire of en thus iasm kindling in every student, right now, to give part of themselves this Christmas season. The proceeds from the rummage sale, held at the Civic Center, will

go towards helping the Rise of a Mission program at the Covenant Reformed Church in Muskegon Heights, Michigan.

In the past the proceeds have gone for buying a VW van for a minister in Africa, a mission in Mexico, helping support a Vietna-mese student on Hope's campus and a Hungar ian relief fund. MOCP thinks they have a great

lan this year for the mission at and and we hope you do too. So let's clean those closets out at

Thanksgiving time and give some-th ing cheerfu l ly of yourself to someone else and take par t in making this a Christmas of giving.

Three Hope professors and their wives recently participated in a three-day regional conference of Danforth Associates on the "Val-ues of Educa t ion" at Pokagon State Park in Angola, Indiana.

Psychology professor Les Beach and his wife Carla served on the p rogram organizing commit tee . Chemistry professor Don Williams led two discussion sessions on "Science and Eth ics ." Also in a t t endance was Dean for the Humani t ies Jack Nvenhuis . and

his wife Lee, and Sue Williams. The Michigan-Indiana regional

conference of Danforth Associates seeks to improve student-faculty in te rac t ions and discussions .on value-centered issues. A majority of the 140 participants were from state-supported colleges and uni-versities where such student-facul-ty interaction are sometimes more difficult to bring about than they a re at smaller Church-related institutions.

class of '81 will present, for their play selection, Pinnocchio. They are directed by Kathy Forman and Marky Klapthor.

The women of both classes who a re par t ic ipa t ing in this year ' s Nykerk Competition are reminded of the Annual Breakfast which will take place Saturday, October 29, beginning at 7:30 a.m. in Phelps Cafeteria.

Foreign s tudy programs at Hope are a re la t ively common education option of which many language students take advantage, but the possibility of teaching in foreign countries is a newer aspect of the educational program.

HOPE, along with the other teacher training institutes in the state of Michigan, is invited to send student teachers to engage in practical exper ience in foreign lands.

P r o g r a m s offered dur ing the winter t e rm, which runs from January to March, are in Brussels, Belgium and in Belzie, Central A m 01*1 o n

ALONG WITH these two locations, there are three possibili-ties for student teaching in the Ne the r l ands . These are in the Hague, Amsterdam, and Rotter-dam. The program for the Nether-lands begins in March and ends in June. In 1976, six Hope students participated in this program.

P resen t ly , two s tuden t s have applied for the program in

Brussels. Dr. Lamont Uirkse, i0 ' 7 director/coordinator of the Brus-sels program explains, "in Brus-sels, the students live with Belgian families and teach at ISB (Interna-tional School-Brussels), yet there is no language requirement for any of the programs." "It is recom-mended that a student planning to teach in a foreign country have some background in the language," adds Dirkse.

ALONG with the teaching experience, it is possible to visit and observe foreign schools. Although it is limited to the three areas, it is hoped that the program will be expanded. Under consider-at ion present ly are program possibil i t ies in Turkey and the Orient.

Dirkse stated that" students are still able to apply for the student teaching program in the Nether-lands for next semester, and he encourages s tuden t s to s t a r t th ink ing about any of the programs in Belzie, Brussels, or the Netherlands for next year.

Vaughn III (D-Detroit) has just introduced a bill (HB5323) to require that consumer contracts be wr i t t en in plain and simple language which is easily under-stood by persons of average intelligence.

THE BILL would eliminate the legal jargon which is often confusing in consumer contracts dealing with credit, insurance, real estate purchase or lease, and other cont rac ts which a re commonly

made by the public. Also, public informat ion bullet ins, forms, instructions, etc. must be written in terms which are easily under-stood by the average person with a high school education.

VAUGHN stated, "Consumers should be able to read a contract and understand the terms of the a g r e e m e n t and the obligations1

without hiring a lawyer to t r a n s l a t e the legal ja rgon into simple terms."

Evening attire...

Students design fashions Many of you know the quiet

young man by the name of Isaac Myers, but do you know him outside of the context of his being the 7 9 Pull anchorman or the extremely vocal '81 Pull coach? Because when he's through yelling Pull directions, he is busy pursu-ing an area in which he is very talented.

HIS TALENT is in designing and tailoring clothes.

When asked how he got started in this area, Myers replies:

"MY BEST friend, who is now a fashion designer in New York, inspired my interest in tailoring. For over a year, I would jus t watch him as he worked on clothes. Finally, I decided that I wanted to make a pair of pants. Upon completion of that project, my in teres t in making shir ts , jackets - all types of clothes --never failed to increase."

Myers now makes all of his own designs and most of his own pat-terns. Thanks to Carol Gavasso, all the clothes he produces are labeled I.M. Duds. Several of his designs have been to boutiques in New

York. He works with all types of fabrics and has recently worked on wedding gowns and tuxedos.

FASHION is definitely a hobby for Myers, and he plans to keep it that way; he hopes to pursue a career in medicine. However, don't be surprised if one day you walk into a store and see a garment tagged I. M. Duds. You might be able to say that you know its creator.

Along with Myers is another Hopeite interested in design. This is easily seen by her stylish dress, which is always accompanied by good spirits and a wide smile.

THE STUDENT is Wanda Walker, a senior who designs and makes all of her clothes. Concern-ing her talents, she explains: "I started making my own clothes because I was too heavy to buy store clothes. I was introverted because of my appearance.

"I took a sewing class in ninth grade, and I learned how to make clothes that made me look good. That made me feel good; I came out in full colors like a butterfly out of a life-long cocoon.

One on Robby Benson by Gayle Boss

Well first of all, I didn't want to be there. And I made it quite clear. Consciously stiffening to my full five feet three inches and twenty years, I exuded a frigid mist of sophist icat ion from my icy, s t ra igh t -ahead s t a re into the surrounding popcorn salt stuffi-ness. There was the seven o'clock show at the Pa rk Thea t r e on two-for-one night, and hundreds of Holland High and E. E. Fellers had come in two-by-twos to see One on One.

MY SECRET desire was to be in the Holland Theatre, the Park's sister on another street corner, leaning forward in dazed anticipa-tion of a blissfully bad bandit's wink from a thirty-six inch closeup of a blue Burt Reynolds eyeball. Af te r joining with my fellow Hopei tes in e ight weeks of academic disdain at the Holland's holdover of Smokey and the Bandit, I had run out of such dis-claimers as, "These Dutchmen have 'Smokey' in their eyes."

By now my very unacademic millionaire militia of matinee idols curiosity had seeped through my had stormed the Holland, banish-scholarly shell. I decided to slip, ing Smokey and the Bandit to disguised as a townie, into the some small town movie marquee in theater that very night to discover Prescho, South Dakota, or the like, wha t magical macho magnet ism For Smokey it was one Bridge Too had made Smokey and his Bandit Far. Sophie was ecstatic. So were friend the Holland movie house's two thousand o ther Hope stu-longest s tay ing house gues ts .

THE MOMENT arrived with a sudden spu r t f rom a gut-level valve. Gasps, sighs, and "Don' t you just love himT gushes spewed out to greet Benson himself. Inno-cent goodness welled up from the very f i r s t blink in those big, brown, beagle puppy eyes, draw-ing an enraptured audience to the screen. And I include myself. I lost five years and ten inches in height as I relaxed in a slump like Sonia's.

Hope. In the good ole days by K. Gary Hasek

October 17 and 18 1 was privileged to represent Hope College, along with Carl Toren, to the Reformed Church in America's Christian Action Commission which was held at the Elk Grove, Illinois Holiday Inn.

It was an interesting occasion of meeting people on the commission from various parts of the country and from various ideological perspectives. There was also an opportunity to talk with and share in common concerns with the other students representing our sister colleges, North-western and Central, and the Reformed Church in America's seminaries.

I learned a lot from sitting through hours of debate and discussion about pornography, abortion, amnesty, multi-national corporations, capital punishment and criminal justice.

In the midst of all the interesting people and topics, there was one person who seemed to stand out to me like a dead fly in my soup. Out from the wilderness of suit jackets, ties and well trimmed hair came a man with denim, beard and pony-tail.

His name is John (not the Baptist, how-ever much he might resemble him) Boonstra, currently residing in Berkely, California and formerly a student at Hope. John attended Hope from 1968 to 1971 and was one of those seemingly ancient creatures today called "student activists." Being an activist as he was at Hope during the time which he refers to as "the good ole

days" was not extremely unusual. It was not uncommon for students to

actively express their ideas about political and ecological wrongs of the day. John was very much involved in this expression and participated in many a demonstration. This activist spirit remains with him even today as he writes a newsletter for the Reformed Church in America called R.C.A.

John and the spirit of his "good ole days" contrasts greatly with the reports that were given about the attitudes of students on the campuses of the Re-formed Church in America's schools by each school's representatives. It seems that a primary concern of today's student is towards getting a secure job.

This goal results in the student dedicat-ing much of his/her college life to study-ing so that they may finish the scholastic race with the reward of a secure job or an acceptance letter from a grad school. I don't believe this should be the focus of the college life.

There are many issues that continue to be in need of our attention today. One need only to read the daily newspaper or watch one of the nightly newscasts on television to realize them. Issues such as world hunger, defense expenditures, glo-bal racial conflicts, energy usage, local poverty and loneliness are but a few which affect us directly or indirectly daily.

We must not neglect our responsibilities towards the world in which we live by shutting ourselves up in our rooms with books and self-ambition. Studying is important, but must be tempered with concern and compassion for our neigh-bors next door and around the globe.

I hope and pray that the next time I see John Boonstra I can tell him that Hope cares about its world and then I can affirm with Carley Simon when she sings "These are the good ole days."

Police investigate parties Dear Mr. Baker:

Reference your editorial of the above date relative to the role of the Holland Police Department in handling off cam-pus "disruptive" parties, I do not know where you got your information but your editorial is incorrect. The Holland Police Department has the responsibility and will accept and carry out its responsibility to handle all calls for police service and enforcement of State laws and City ordinances throughout the entire city including off campus parties.

Should there be incidents of noisy or disorderly parties off campus, rest assured the Holland Police Department will likely be called and will respond and handle the incident. By policy and practice we would try to resolve the problem rather than make arrests unless there were other violations of law involved. In cases where there are large numbers of people involved

and difficulties are encountered, we may contact Hope security and request the presence of Hope College administrative officials to assist and /or make identifica-tions.

Ultimately the owner and participants can be held responsible and prosecuted for disorderly or loud unruly parties and it is the occupants responsibility to con-trol such social affairs. Problems usually arise when there is not such efforts to control the guests and/or where unlimited numbers of people are invited or allowed to come.- In such cases the expected result can only be complaints to the police.

As an additional point of information and to correct the negative implications

(continued on next column)

P.E. Center name deplored Editor:

We find it ironic and shocking that Hope College's new Health and Physical Education Building is to be named after the makers of napalm and other deadly chemical agents.

Has Hope College been so influenced by Dow dollars, some of which undoubted-ly are profits from the Vietnam War, that it cannot resist selling out its values for this tainted mess of pottage? We question

whether the Dow Chemical Company deserves the praise that a Hope College building bearing the Dow name would confer.

What next? A Michigan Chemical Agricultural Science Building? A Win-chester Bird Sanctuary? A Lockheed Chair of Ethics? A Seagram Symphony Hall?

"We can hardly respect money enough for the blood and toil it represents. Money is frightening. It can serve or destroy man . " - Michael Quoist

Money, the love of which is the root of all evil, according to biblical sources, is one of the largest concerns of just about everyone in our society. We spend hours endeavoring in ways to procur it as individuals. The church of Jesus Christ being made up of us individuals has as one of its primary concerns, the acquiring of great quantities of it to perform what it believes is its function in the world, be it for the perpetuation of righteousness or its own financial security.

I question whether the church of Christ is genuinely looking to biblical material for guidance on its position regarding its economic lifestyle.

I recently attended the meeting of the Christian Action Commission of the Re-

Golden gods and Saints of silver. formed Church in America. Many hours were spent developing a policy based on the biblical view of man in reaction to the increasing amount of pornographic ma-terial available through the mass media which has another view of man. Pornog-raphy was deplored because it dealt with man, "created in the image of God" and sexuality "the creation of God" in a depersonalized and exploitive way.

Now this to me was all very fine and legitimate. However, when the issue of how multinational corporations are de-personalizing and exploiting persons around the world so that we Americans may continue with our holy "high" stan-dard of living, was brought to the fore-front , the commission tabled the issue.

There seems to be a great moral dualism in the church which resides in America. It will spend time condemning pornogra-phy and encourage Anita Bryant type actions regarding nomosexualism, issues

a s E t k i ? saGf l i f® Doing speed with Evelyn Wood

by Jill Vanderlaan

I was rereading The Canterbury Tales over t h e w e e k e n d - v e r y quietly, I might add-when I found myself being slowly tortured by a very distracting noise.

"Amy, will you quit looking at the pictures and get down to some studying."

"I am studying." "You're turning pages." "Each page in t u rn / she pointed

out, snappily turning anotner. "So quit flipping through the

book and s tar t reading. Hearing those cheap pages crinkle when you turn tnem is destroying my train of thought." I went back to my Chaucer.

Amy closed her book cur t ly . 4 ,For your in fo rma t ion I am reading--at the remarkable speed of 3,000 words per minute."

"Oh?" She rolled up her sleeves slowly

and continued: "I took an Evelyn Wood Speed-reading Course for two weeks over the summer and was the most improved reader in my class. I can read the New York Times in just three minutes. And I retain everything I read."

"You sound like an ad." "No kidding, J i l l . I wish I 'd

taken the course in high school. I would be in graduate school by now. Or maybe even--"

"--President!"

She glared at me. "You're just jealous. You haven't turned a page in over an hour."

"It 's in Middle English!" "So?" "So you try reading it 4at the

remarkable speed of 3,000 words per minute' and we'll see how long you last!"

She puckered up her lower lip. "Jealous."

"Amy," I explained, "There are some things one simply does not read at a breakneck speed. And Chaucer is one of them."

Amy stared at the ceiling for a momen t . Then she r e t a l i a t e d . "Evelyn Wood says I should be able to read everything at this s p e e d . " She d e m o n s t r a t e d by rapidly flipping five or six pages, glancing at each as she went.

"Does Eve lyn hand ou t l i t t le rubber thimbles, too?"

"Jill!" - she was getting mad -"just can it!" She opened her book again and began r ead ing . Once again the noise was distracting, but I didn't say anything.

She turned page after page, but I didn't even look up. She skimmed her hand across tne pages as if r e a d i n g it in brai l le , but I r ema ined s i l en t . I de l ibe ra te ly pointed to each word in my Chaucer text. She turned another page noisily. And noisily on purpose. I could remain silent no more.

which need to be dealt with, but r emain a lmost blind to t h e economic policies encouraged by our lifestyles which permit many Americans and others around the world, "created in the image of God" to be exploited.

I t would a p p e a r t h a t the church's concern with moral issues is limited to those issues which don't demand drastic changes of itself as an institution.

Jesus and his disciples consis-t en t l y dea l t with t h e issue of wealth in a much more radical way than the church is dealing with it today.

Jesus, after telling his disciples who were the blessed; the poor, the hungry, those who weep, etc., warned "But woe to you wno are rich, for you have already received your comfort." Luke 6:24. Later he tells them "Sell your possessions and give to t h e poor . P r o v i d e purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a t reasure in heaven that will not be exhausted, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your t reasure is, there your heart will be also." Luke 12:33 & 34. After encounter-ing a rich ru l e r who was not willing to give up his wealth so that he might follow Christ, Jesus said "How hard it i s j o r the rich to

enter the kingdom of God! Indeed, it is eas ie r for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to e n t e r t h e kingdom of God." Luke 18:24 & 25.

The ear ly b r e t h r e n of t h e church did not often heed these words of Jesus either and thus the apos t le J a m e s r e b u k e s , "Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming upon you. Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. Your gold and silver are co r roded . The i r corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days." James 5:1; 3.

It seems obvious to me that if the church is to be a vital part of God's loving redemptive process in the world, it must reexamine its view of possessions and wealth.

"Thus says the Lord: 4Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, let not the mighty glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches; but let him who glories glory in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who p rac t i ces s t e a d f a s t love, justice and righteousness in the earth; for in these I delight,' says the Lord." Jeremiah 9:23.

anyway?" "Mammalian Physiology," she

replied. "As in doctors and nurses?" "Well, yes. They have to take

it." "Surgeons, too ?" "I guess." "And you would actually go to a

surgeon who had an Evelyn Wood Speed-reading certificate hanging in his office?"

Amy leaned back in the chair. "What you getting at?"

"I'm just saying that it seems to me that it might be kind of risky."

"How's that?" "Well... Say he read the chapter

"I see." "That's all I'm trying to say." Amy got up and left the room. I

College loans bankruptcy justified? Do you have a student loan? Are

you thinking about getting one? Glamour Magazine ' s More For Your Money columnist, Barbara Gilder Quint, has some important facts you should know regarding loan payments and bankruptcy.

IN 1975, Ann graduatea from her state university with a mas-ter 's degree in education, lots of confidence - and $7,500 in debts she had accumulated during her last five years of schooling. She quickly discovered that there were no jobs for high school F rench teachers, and that she was either over-qualified or unskilled for any o t h e r ava i lab le jobs . Her bes t opportunity, it seemed, was as a $5,500-a-year clerk in an insurance office-a far cry from the $9,000 she had counted on as a teacher.

Unwilling to face ten years of repaying a loan with only meager earning prospects, Ann declared bankruptcy -- that is, she went to cour t , told the j udge she was

unable to pay ner debts, and asked to have t h e m legally canceled. U n d e r b a n k r u p t c y law, which va r i e s s o m e w h a t f rom s t a t e to s t a t e , a pe r son dec lar ing bank-ruptcy must turn over most of her a s s e t s to be d i s t r i b u t e d to her creditors - in Ann's case, this was the $65 in her savings account. She handed over the $65 and left the courthouse legally free and clear of her $7,500 debt forever.

FROM 1974 to 1976, 12,300 former students filed similar bank-ruptcy claims totaling $15 million borrowed through various govern-m e n t - f u n d e d loan p r o g r a m s . Is bankruptcy a sensible step if you are confronted with heavy college d e b t s t h a t your b u d g e t can ' t accommodate?

If you go through bankruptcy, you should r e m e m b e r t h a t a report of your bankruptcy remains in your c red i t bu reau file for f o u r t e e n y e a r s . Some c red i to r s may take into consideration the

special circumstances surrounding your action (and by law you can write your own explanatory state-ment and have it placed in your credit report), but nevertheless, you may have t roub le g e t t i n g credit for a long time to come.

BANKRUPTCY is a last resort for those clearly in a position in which they will never be able to repay their debts and carry on with their life; it is not meant for young men and women who find it temporarily inexpedient to meet debt repayments.

All government loan programs e n c o u r a g e fo rmer s t u d e n t s who are having trouble repaying educa-tional loans to apply to their bank or college l enders for " fo rbea r -ance" -- the term which is used when you ask an institution to change the terms of your loan to make it easier for you to repay. Note that new 1976 laws specifical-ly provide for deferment of repay-

affletol? ffgwfew!/ ) First production...a colorful success by Doug Dykstra

The Grand Imperial Cirque de Paris made it's opening debut last Thursday evening, featuring the grand and gala music, and the magical excitement of Carnival.

CARNIVAL, a musical which kicked off the 1977-78 Hope Thea-tre season, created on the DeWitt s tage the a tmosphere , color, humor and thrill of a three ring circus.

Though the cast, crew, orches-tra and directors had only four or five weeks to piece together this massive production, they opened with a minimal number of obvious flaws and mishaps, resulting in a t ru ly impressive and successful performance.

PRESENTED before a near capacity house. Carnival opened with the announcement of the r ingmas te r that B.F. Schlegel 's Grand Imperial Cirque de Paris was coming to town.

Soon the vacant stage became a collage of color and enthusiasm as the circus entered on parade,

roudly fea tur ing clowns, jugg-ers, harem and dancing girls,

animals, tents, banners, souvenir wagons, balloons and acrobats. At the conclusion of this musical introduction of charac te rs , the story began.

ITS STAR was Lili (Carolyn McCall), a young, naive girl who

f.

yearns to be a participant in the circus world and decides to try the Cirque de Paris. First, she encoun-ters Grobert (Mike McFaden), the money hungry souvenir salesman. After hiring her, Lili finds herself ousted because of her clumsiness and youthful curiosity.

As she is thrown out of Grobert's wagon, she meets Marco the Magnificent (Robert Schultz), the circus magician. Instantly she becomes enchanted with him as a result of his remarkable usage of illusions, charisma, and the brave-ry and courage he exerted in fight-ing off the rous tabou t s in "A Sword and a Cape and a Rose." This segment of the show, by the way, was well choreographed and performed quite well.

FINALLY, Marco convinces Mr. B. F. Schlegel (James Taylor), the circus owner, into hiring her, much to the dismay of the Imcomparable Rosalie (Elizabeth DeVette), his attractive assistant. During Lili's debut that night, she discloses the secret of one of Marco's magnifi-cent tricks. Embarrassed, Schlegel commands her to leave the circus.

Saddened and very dejec ted , she takes her final stroll around the grounds and suddenly finds herself talking with four puppets. Horrible Henry (a walrus...or was he a seal?). Carrot Top, Ronaldo (a fox), and Margarita. After talking and laughing, Henry, Carrot Top

ded at first, Steel is easily led along the athletic assembly line. But as the process continues, the polite disguises a re dropped in order to press him more firmly into the mold.

Coercion by coaches, teammates and alumni poses a naked conflict to Steel's individualism. In a final, "one on one" battle of the wills, idealism scores the tie-breaking point. Steel, sacrificing acceptance by the athletic establishment in af f i rming his r ight to be an individual, is r ewarded with a crown of true love and acceptance. It is the story of a real winner.

IF I seem to have debased the demonic versus the angelic meta-phor by stretching it to such an extreme, I ask forgiveness. But it serves to expose the movie's major sin. It simply is not like anything we know in our earthly existence. The conflicts in our lives don't come in the black and white color scheme that surrounds the charac-ters in One on One.

Decisions about right and wrong overlap in shades of gray. As if to clear the gray glaze from our eyes, the movie hits us over the head with a battered copy of Moby Dick to make certain we see the light. "What do you like about Captain Ahab?" a reservedly intellectual but of course beautiful white-lab-coated tutor challenges Henry. "What I have dared I have willed. What I have willed I will do," a wide-eyed disciple reveren t ly whispers.

"Of course! That's it!" exclaims the teacher, in an un-Stoic show of humanity, making doubly sure we don't miss the movie's point.

THIS IS the sword of truth with which Steel battles the black-hat-ted stereotypes that ride out to meet him: a high-brow, long-hair psychology professor in sandals whose theoret ical behaviorism extends to "athletic animals;" a hell fire false prophet of a coach preaching the gospel of unques-tioning obediance; a locker room-full of muscle-bound machines who fill their empty minds every weekend with chemicals and smoke.

The truth is that even a $1.25 admission price doesn't grant the audience the powers of apocryphal judgment. Only God can separate the white sheep from the black goats , while we mor ta ls see a speckled hybrid.

FOR ALL its black on white character types, One on One can't be cleanly cast in the melodrama mold. First of afll, there are brief moments of real human ambiguity: the Steel who moves in with his tutor-turned-lover doesn't seem to be quite the same aw-shucks girl-shy guy who hugs his basketball; the "animals" on the team at moments step from their

wolf's clothing to reveal real brotherly warmth and encourage-ment.

But in a more representative show of human fallibility. Steel's moral triumph over the forces of evil is marred bv a streak of open vengence in a final confrontation with his coach tha t belies the turn-the-other-cheek humility of the real winner we first felt drawn to. Lost with a little innocence along the way was some of the winner too.

BUT PERHAPS all of this, too, is academic banter between we college critics of self-made sophis-tication. All I know for sure is that Sonia "just loved it." And many in tha t Junior and Senior High assembly around me s tayed in their sea ts through the credit crawl just to stare at the screen, finally silent.

If one of them walked out of the Park Theater that night believing with Steel and Captain Ahab that what he had willed he could do. One on One has not been made in vain.

Post Scriptum: In fairly skip-ping down the store-lit streets of Holland on my way to Mr. Steak to wri te this review over several bottom-of-the-pot cups of closing-time coffee, I discovered to my horror tha t I had been misin-formed. Sophie, we didn't read the fine print. Smokey and the Bandit was still in town, though scheduled to move on out precisely by showtime Friday. I t ' s probably playing to a packed-in audience in Prescho, South Dakota, and I shall never know why.

and Lili begin to sing "Golden Delicious." It had a Kukla, Fran and Olie appearance.

MR. SCHLEGEL observes this display of heart-warming enter-ta inment and has an idea. He rehires Lili and moves "Lili and her friends" to the center of the circus. The act soon becomes the biggest attraction. In the mean-time, Paul (Kevin Kelley), the voice of the puppets, falls in love with Lili, but can only express his feelings through the wooden characters he created.

When he is with Lili, he shows only hatred and cruel ty and becomes s t rongly vehement to-wards her. He even loses his closest friend, Jaquot (Kirk Hoop-ingarner) , because of his fierce temper and intolerable actions. Lili learns to hate and distrust Paul so much, she decides to break up the act.

MARCO then uses her in his act, while Rosalie, who is away with a misfit veterinarian fan from Zurich named Dr. Glass (Eric Fitzgerald), attempts to find fame and glory in the elite hotels of Europe, which are, coincidentally, owned by his father.

When Rosalie returns to Marco with an invitation to perform in some very e x t r a v a g a n t places, Marco decides to join Rosalie and reneges on his offer to Lili, but does promise to return for her. Feeling rejected and lonely once again, Lili makes the decision to leave.

AS SHE walks away with her coat, hat, and suitcase in hand, the puppets, who are in tears over her departure, say good-bye. Sudden-ly, with damp eyes, Lili opens the curtain of the puppet stage and reveals Paul's face to the audience. Lili then realizes that the words of the puppe ts are also the t rue feelings of Paul.

They then embrace, the orches-tra begins to play softly, Paul and Lili exit and the lights go out -- a happy ending. Truly a melodrama-tic musical!

THE PLOT and s toryl ine of Carnival, though, very simplistic, elementary and at times unrealis-tic, did spark some emotion from the audience resulting into a very entertaining show.

The puppets especially, who were given life by Kevin Kelley and Kirk Hoopingarner, and de-signed by Richard Smith, instantly drew out the warmth and love of their viewers.

OTHER CAST members who helped get the dialogue and music off the paper and made their roles come "alive" were the voluptuous Elizabeth DeVette and the suave Robert Schultz. DeVette, whose glamorous s tage presence was excit ing, seemed to have no difficulty in fitting into her role.

Her singing voice and acting abilities portrayed her character very well. She was definitely

Rosalie. Bob, her magician coun-terpart, too, was quite dynamic in his presentation oi lines and stage presence. He did, however, appear a little insecure when performing his feats of magic and illusion.

THE LEADING lady was Carolyn McCall whose name in it-self sounds as if it should be on a marquee in Las Vegas. She has a superb vocal instrument and sense of pitch, and did i n t e rp r e t and develop her part well, although she needed more of her character, Lili, in her singing.

Kevin Kelley, I thought , handled his part well also, and does have a p leasant on s tage voice quality. However, this was suffering, possibly from a lack of vocal training. He did all of his breathing from his chest and lung area which created a loss of voice control. As a result, he had several broken melodic phrases, a wobbly sound and some pitch problems.

ALSO, in my view, every song sounded alike and thus became very monotonous and overbearing. There was a lack of deviation from the constant for te volume and vocal expression. Ms. McCall was also guilty of this.

J ames Taylor, who por t rayed the circus owner, looked the part, but was very static. When he was angry , his vocal and facial expression was identical to when he was in an opposite state. His character remained relatively con-s t an t and consis tent -- on a straight line throughout. It was lacking creativeness.

THOSE WITH smaller roles ( remember , t he re are no small parts, only small actors) all por-t r ayed the i r cha rac te r s to the u l t imate . Mike McFaden, Kirk

Hoopingarner. Eric Fitzgerald and the rous tabou t s , Vince Ramick, Jona than Hondorp and Tom Picard, were quite good in musical routines as well as speaking, stage presence and just plain reacting off the people they were playing opposite of.

As for the rest of the circus crowd, they were marvelous and fun to watch. True, there were some noticeable, yet accidental slip-ups, but it was opening night and the stage was small -- give 'em a break!

THE ORCHESTRA, under the direction of Mr. Robert Cecil, was fine except for an occasional "klun-ker" and lack of unity. Also, during Act II, in the Cirque de Pa r i s ballet, the voices on stage were a beat behind the instrumentalists in the pit. All in all though, the orchestra and voices sounded and blended well.

The choreography, designed by Cathy Hondorp, was also exciting, especially in the Marco and roustabouts scene and sometimes funny, as in the clown line-up dance in the second act.

THE COLORFUL, creative and imaginative sets and costumes also added much to the unique nature of the show.

Overall, I believe that director John K. Tammi scored a hit with this musical and it is evident that many, many hours of strenuous work, concentration and sleepless nights were invested into this project.

Carnival will undoubtedly be a highlight of this academic year and is certainly well worth seeing. The show continues through Saturday night in the DeWit t Cul tural Center. Step right up!

ments for up to twelve months during any one period when you are unemployed and looking for full-time work. Student Loans and Bankruptcy: A Fact Sheet

THERE ARE two very popular loan programs for higher educa-tion. One, the Guaranteed Student Loan Program (GSLP), lends up to $2,500 a year, with a maximum loan of $7,500 for undergraduates (including those taking vocational training) and $15,000 for under-graduates who then go on to do g r adua t e work. Most of the lenders are banks, credit unions, savings and loan associations and state agencies; in a few cases, the college or university makes the loan directly. The Federal govern-ment reimburses the lender 100 percent if the student defaults.

Repayment is required in ten yea r s or less, with minimum payments of $30 a month, and usually begins within nine months after leaving the college program. A new law, which was enacted last

year and which went into effect October 1, 1977, prohibi ts any student with a GSLP loan from having it d ischarged th rough bankrup tcy until at least five years after the required repay-ment period begins. There is talk in Congress, though, about repeal-ing this.

THE OTHER, the National Direct S tuden t Loan P rog ram (NDSLP), lends up to $5,000 for undergraduate education, $2,500 for certain vocational programs, and up to $10,000 for undergradu-ate and graduate education. Under the NDSLP, the school itself makes t he loan with some 90 percent of the money coming from the Federal government and 10 percent from the school. If the student defaults, the school is out i ts 10 pe rcen t . Repayment is requi red in ten years or less, usually beginning within nine months a f t e r education is com-

leted. Minimum payments are 30 a month.

Soccer remains undefeated in league Harriers destroy Adrian

by Glenn Johnson

They said it would be their biggest game and it turned out to be thei r best. Now what once seemed a goal perhaps too high to attain has now become a "practical challenge"; prime contention in the MIAA.

Last Friday afternoon became a turning point for the Hope Soccer team as they handily defeated Kalamazoo 4-1. The exhibition of talent up and down the field made this game the most spectacular ever, both sides showing unrelent-less determination to score.

There was no score at the end of the f i rs t half with both teams playing well; the ball control.

exper t passing and finesse dis-played being a pleasure to watch. Minutes into the second half Amer Tarakoli made the score 1-0 off a fine cross pass and later 2-0 heading the ball into the goal.

Gary 4,Bobby OrrM Hutchins later gave the Dutchmen a commanding lead putting the ball past a by now dejected Hornet goalie. And despite K-zoo's goal later in the period, Jim DeJulio added his own fascination to Hope's deserving win in scoring from 25 yards out with a headed ball. "The Hammer" Renze Hoek-sema in assistance.

Last week the Dutchmen defeated Calvin 2-1 in an impor-tant game and Olivet 7-0 leaving

liupe undeleaLed thus far in MIAA play, their overall record being 9 wins, 2 losses. Hope's decisive vic-tor ies over both Calvin and Kalamazoo twice leave the way paved for an excellent season should the sterling performance continue.

This seems to be the key to the remainder of this fall 's soccer season. The ta lent has been proven and Coach Van Wieren has jelled these talents into a team tha t works well toge ther , yet everyday this ta lent must be proven; a practical application of this 'team combination', neverthe-less a challenge everv time to make it work successfully. Essen-tially the challenge of sport itself.
