The Student Senate took a ma-j o r first step M o n d a y night t o w a r d s the centra l izat ion of au thor i ty in the dec i s ion-making s t ruc ture of the College.

SENATOR BOH DONIA intro-duced a p lan cal l ing for a 15-member C o m m u n i t y Assembly which will for the first time ena-ble students to know where deci-s ions are m a d e concern ing their wel fare ." .

Under the present sy s t e i j , " a s m a n y as four o r five g r o u p s ( Stu-dent Senate, SLC, RFC, Facul ty and Adminis t ra t ive Counci l ) a re required to cons ider -- often repe-titiously -- a n y p r o p o s a l . " Donia described this a s "unneces sa r i l y c u m b e r s o m e . " He a lso condemn-ed the inevitable lack of " c o m m u -nity conce rn" shown in the decisions m a d e by these " a l m o s t segregated g r o u p s . "

T H E COMMUNITY Assembly would correct these defects by b e a r i n g " p r i m a r y responsibi l i ty for decisions affecting the com-muni ty as a who le . " Presently exist ing g r o u p s would cont inue their functions, but final au thor i ty on issues invo lv ing both s tudents and faculty would rest with the Assembly. All decisions of the Assembly would, however, be sub-ject to the a p p r o v a l of the Presi-dent of the College.

Membership on the Assembly would consist of students a n d fa-culty, seven of each, plus the Dean for Academic Affairs.

DONIA EMPHASIZED t ha th i s p r o p o s a l was a first step a n d felt that it would p r o b a b l y be modi-fied.

Johnson Changes Draft To Take Youngest First

'Richard III' Presented This Weekend

Mor ta r B o a r d will present " R i c h a r d 111" tonight and to-m o r r o w night at 8 p.m. in Dim-nent Memor ia l Chapel .

The movie , f ea tu r ing Sir Laur-ence Olivier, Claire Bloom and Sir J o h n C.ielgud, is the tale of Richard 111, w h o is Duke of York a n d b ro the r of K ing F d w a r d IV. After a d r a m a t i c and cont rover -sial series of events, Richard be-comes King of Eng land . Rich-a r d 111 is subsequent ly killed, a n d Henry VI1 a s sumes the throne.

Sir Lau rence Olivier, who a l so h a s p r o d u c e d a n d directed the film, was knighted in 1947 fo r his p o r t r a y a l of k n i g h t h o o d on the s tage and in mot ion pictures. " R i c h a r d 111" h a s won the Brit-

a s h Film A c a d e m y Award in 1956, the Best Director a w a r d in -the E d i n b u r g h Fi lm Festival and the Silver B a r A w a r d in the Berlin Fi lm Fest ival .

President J o h n s o n , in a special message to Congres s last Mon-day , b e g a n what some feel is a complete ove rhau l of the present d ra f t p lan . President J o h n s o n stat-ed in his message that he would issue executive o rde r s establish-ing a youngest-f i rs t d ra f t call by a lottery type of selection.

The President 's decision c a m e after a r e c o m m e n d a t i o n f r o m a president ia l ly appoin ted dra f t s tudy g r o u p .

T H E GROUP discussed v a r i o u s issues a n d came to the conclus ion that:

( 1) the present decentral ized d ra f t system is ou tmoded ;

( 2 ) the younges t shou ld be the ones to be draf ted first;

( 3 ) the present system of de-ferments is ques t ionable ;

( 4 ) the present system of de-ferments is " i n e q u i t a b l e " t o w a r d the Negro , and

( 5 ) the Na t i ona l ( l u a r d h a s be-come an evade r s ' heaven.

Accord ing to White House sources , the new p lan will call for the abol i t ion of local d ra f t b o a r d s with 500 new a rea centers t a k i n g ove r their funct ions. The r e a s o n for this, a cco rd ing to a White House s p o k e s m a n , is that compla in t s h a v e been received conce rn ing the "sof tness on stu-den t s" o f m a n y local d ra f t b o a r d s .

T H E NEW PROPOSAL for d r a f t i ng 19 y e a r olds was fav-ored both by the White House s tudy g r o u p a n d the Armed Forces Services Committee. Ac-co rd ing to a White House spokes-m a n , all males tu rn ing 19 will lose their deferments and will be placed in a na t ionwide selection pool retaining, their "vu lne rab i l -i ty" until t h ' y a r e 26. Selection will be mad .• at r a n d o m whether by d r a w i n g n a m e s f rom a fish bowl or by computer .

This p lan will al low most up-perc lassmen to finish at least four yea r s of college. The quest ion of whether or not g r a d u a t e s tudents would be al lowed to cont inue their educat ion was not settled, but ac-co rd ing to White House sources , g r a d u a t i n g sen iors will p r o b a b l y be allowed to work on their mas-ters but not on their doc tora l de-grees.

The President m a d e an excep-tion however in the cases of medi-cal and dental s tudents, who he feels should be allowed to finish their g r a d u a t e studies.

ALSO I N C L U D E D in the Pres-ident 's p lan , a cco rd ing to a White House release, is the denial of deferments to fa thers unde r the age of 35 and m a n y occupa t iona l deferments.

The President 's new p lan , how-

a p p l y i n g to a g r o u p of senior women, to j un io r w o m e n next year .

A S E C O N D PROPOSAL dealt with w o m e n ' s s m o k i n g privileges. It a sked for s m o k e r s to be pro-vided in new d o r m s and installed in those d o r m s where fire regula-tions allow. The p r o p o s a l also asked that s m o k i n g in d o r m s m o k e r s be allowed after hours .

In a third resolut ion. Miss Tim-mer asked that dress regu la t ions be relaxed. This included the re-quest for r egu la r dress at the F r i d a y evening and S u n d a y noon Slater meals . The p r o p o s a l would a lso al low girls to wear b e r m u d a shor t s a n d s lacks in the l i b ra ry at specific t imes and a l so to cer-tain Slater meals . S u n d a y dress requirements on the streets of Hol-land would be abo l i shed .

ALL T H R E E p r o p o s a l s were u n a n i m o u s l y accepted by the Senate and sent on to SLC.

A Preamble and Bill of Rights for the p r o p o s e d Senate consti-tution were submit ted for consid-era t ion by J o h n Cox. Fee l ing tha t

the const i tut ion shou ld "con ta in more than a listing of s t ructure and p r o c e d u r e , " Cox hoped that the documen t would be recognized as a r a t i ona l e for the existence of the Student Sena te . "

T H E MOST D E B A T E D provis-ions were:

—The college shou ld not deny the right of a n y student to use college facilities because of his polit ical, social or rel igious con-victions.

— Freedom to p u r s u e knowledge t h r o u g h free and open inqui ry within the academic c o m m u n i t y must be g u a r a n t e e d .

— The right of every student to f reedom re la t ing to religious wor-ship should not be denied.

The m a j o r object ions to these were that d e m a n d s m a d e on the bas is of them might be c o n t r a r y to college policy and could easily be ignored by the Adminis t ra t ion .

T H E BILL WAS tabled to the Const i tu t ional Revision Com-mittee and will be considered with the rest of the new consti tut ion.

0E0 Denies Support Funds For Higher Horizons Prograi

Hope College's Higher Hor-izons p r o g r a m will no longer be the benef ic iary of f u n d s f rom the federal g o v e r n m e n t due to the cu tback in g o v e r n m e n t domestic s p e n d i n g as a result of the war in Vietnam.

Higher Hor izons h a s been fi-nanced by a c o m b i n a t i o n of com-muni ty dona t ions , Hope College aid, a n d a g r a n t f rom the Office of Fconomic Oppor tun i ty . The O- F.O. has p rov ided the project with $ 9 , 1 9 7 for this y e a r ' s work, 8 5 , 0 0 0 of which has been a l r eady spent a n d the r e m a i n d e r of which is presently enroute f r o m a De-troit Bank .

N E X T YEAR, however , there will be no money c o m i n g f rom the O. F.O. a n d there is vir tual ly no chance of f inancial aid f rom any o ther g o v e r n m e n t sources, said Bruce Struik, director of the p r o g r a m . The slack, therefore, must be taken up by cont r ibu t ions f rom the c o m m u n i t y a n d the col-lege.

David Clark , c h a i r m a n of the Adv i so ry B o a r d of Higher Hori-zons, noted that this is a "cri t ical t ime" for the p r o g r a m and said

that the plight of Higher Hor izons would be a "test of local interest" in the p r o g r a m and its objectives.

Mr. Clark said that the "ex-p a n s i o n of the whole O. F.(). pro-g r a m is being f r o z e n " by the gov-e rnment , thus e n d a n g e r i n g the con t inua t ion of the Higher Hori-zons p r o g r a m . Mr. Struik empha-sized, however , that "we' l l defi-nitely h a v e a p r o g r a m next y e a r . "

MR, CLARK was optimistic a-bout the f inancia l s i tuat ion, s ta t ing that he " h a s faith in the c o m m u n i t y " and believed that the town 'would not let a p r o g r a m like this d ie ." He a l so has hopes of receiving d o n a t i o n s for the pro-g r a m f rom the Second Century Club of Hope a l u m n i and fr iends now being created by Hope ' s Of-fice of Development .

Due to the cu tback in federal budget ou t lay for domest ic pro-g r a m s , the Depar tment of Health, Educa t ion and Welfare a n d the O. F.O. h a v e been forced to con-centrate on " p r i o r i t y p ro jec t s " such as Head Start , I ' p w a r d Bound, the C o m m u n i t y Action

The Religious Life Committee author ized the f o r m a t i o n of a sub-committee to " d r a w up a percep-tive ques t ionna i re concerning c o m p u l s o r y chapel to be used in the de l ibera t ions of the com-mittee."

C h a p l a i n William C. Hillegonds will be the c h a i r m a n of the sub-committee, consis t ing of Dr. El-ton Bruins, Dr. Robert De H a a n , Dr. Robert Brown, Student Sen-ate President (iene Pearson a n d Senate Vice-President Susan Son-neveldt.

T H E Q U E S T I O N N A I R E will be issued to p r o v i d e the com-mittee with i n fo rma t ion abou t s tu -dent and faculty feeling concern-ing c o m p u l s o r y chapel and to help them to a r r ive at a decision on its future at Hope. A wide variety of opin ion on the subject was expressed within the com-mittee, hence the need for the ques t ionnai re became clear.

At the beg inn ing of the meeting, c h a i r m a n Bruins attempted to have the committee first discuss the dra f t of the statement about the p u r p o s e of chapel , written by Jer ry Poor t inga , a statement which does not mention the com-pulsory aspect. Then, when a fin-al statement was prepared , the compu l so ry quest ion was to be decided on the bas i s of the state-ment.

HOWEVER, CERTAIN mem-bers felt that the compu l so ry as-pect canno t be d ivorced f rom the p u r p o s e of chapel . Pris Inkpen said, " F o r m is inseparab le f r o m mean ing . In discuss ing chapel , we must decide what is implied by each form. I 'm sure Chap-lain Hil legonds will admit that F r iday chapel is a totally differ-ent experience than Monday chap-eL"

C h a p l a i n Hi l legonds repeated his earl ier s tatement that his only concern was to b r i n g students to an "eyebal l to eyeball conf ronta -tion with Jesus Christ . My only quest ion is how best to do this. Do we compel them to have it or do we offer it to them? It's great to present Christ to 7 0 0 kids every m o r n i n g and 1 would hate to see it go. But are we being Chr is t ian when we say ' Let us worship Cod , ' and one per-son is not free to say 'no? ' "

DR. R O N A L D B E E R Y s a i d that the committee shou ld look at the pu rposes of the College and then examine the m e c h a n i s m a for a-vice. Compuls ion is needed to pro-pretend that we should require a student to come to a worsh ip service. But I wonder if some-thing else isn't accompl ished by compu l so ry c h a p e l . "

J a m e s Tall is asked whether this " s o m e t h i n g else" would be lost if the exposure aspect of chapel was t ransfered to required lectures

not related to worship, a s s u m i n g that m o r n i n g chapel was preserv-ed on a vo lun t a ry basis . The idea was discussed with no conclusions d r a w n . The m a j o r reservat ion was that the remova l of the wor-ship a tmosphe re might permit the speaker to depar t f rom the ser-iousness expected f rom the lec-ture.

CHAIRMAN B R U I N S present-ed his line of reasoning. He said that chapel was a worship ser-vice. Compuls ion is need to pro-vide " p e r s o n a l Chris t ian disci-pline since ' the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak . ' "

Dr. Bruins stated that for the non-Chr is t ian , chapel is exposu re to the Chris t ian ideals of the school. The right not to attend is reserved for those who vio-lently object to this exposure , pend ing a p p r o v a l of the Chapel Board .

Russ DeVette expressed the opin-ion that more than worship hap-

pens in chapel. " C h a p e l is good for the students. It's pa r t of their educat ion at Hope, and should be c o m p u l s o r y , " he said.

Wes Michaelson expressed a s imilar opinion, but called for a "cont inued c o m p u l s o r y system that is much more flexible. It must be remembered that s tudents cannot depend solely on chapel for the religious direction of the College."

REV. HILLEGONDS expand ed on this, s a y i n g that m a n y students now hide behind chapel . If it were not compu l so ry , a stu-dent would be forced to taje the duty of conf ron t ing others with Christ upon himself. " C h a p e l should not be their w o m b , " he explained.

Mr. DeVette objected, obse rv ing that there is oppor tun i ty for stu-dents to do this now, and to those who h a v e confronted Christ, wor-ship and morn ing chapel a re not a waste of time.

Use of Serious Theater

Guthrie Lectures, Entertains By John Cox

Sheer repor t ing cannot begin to do justice to the pe r fo rmance of Sir Tyrone Guthrie last Thurs -day .

He is well known in d r a m a t i c circles, h a v i n g dist inguished him-self as an actor, director and theater admin is t ra to r . Histori-cally, he is one of the m o v i n g forces behind the current " E n g -lish d r a m a t i c rena i ssance" which is m a r k e d by an unusua l depth of talent, an intelligent p a t r o n a g e which appreciates talent per-se, and prices which m a k e true pa-t ronage possible.

SIR G U T H R I E gives credit for" the rena issance to gove rnmen t subs idy of the theater. His com-p a r i s o n of the U.S. s i tuat ion, where f inancial ly canny but ar-tistically agnost ic investors under-write p r o b a b l e hits, with Eng-l a n d ' s talent and p a t r o n a g e sys-tem was an i l luminat ing illustra-tion of how desperately needed is government subsidy in the arts here as well.

Ostensibly Sir Ty rone came to enlighten us with a lecture on what use the " s e r i o u s " theater has. En-lightened we were—but less by sheer content of his lecture than by a highly skillful forensic per-formance . After m o v i n g the pod ium aside and request ing the audience to move up front, the speaker seated himself on the edge of the p la t fo rm (in augus t Dim-nent Memorial ! ) and for a lmost two hour s held his listeners in the pa lm of his hand .

HE CAJOLED them, admon i sh -ed them, amused them and even

insulted them—and they loved ev-ery bit of it.

In terrupt ions were as skillfully utilized as were items of immed-iate local interest. While explain-ing that good theater lives or dies with audience-actor contact, he was interrupted by a well-mean-fng p h o t o g r a p h e r who diverted audience attention.

After a sk ing the p h o t o g r a p h e r to leave. Sir T y r o n e immediate-ly b e g a n to tie up the loose ends of inattention by using the inci-dent to- illustrate how the spell of actor-audience contact is brok-en and retrieved.

T H E TWO MOST impor tan t r easons which were given for the necessity of ser ious (i.e., legiti-mate) theater were TV and the movies. Both militate aga ins t the art of the actor, and by exten-sion, aga ins t the art of intelligent viewing as well.

The pe r fo rmer ' s ar t is his abil-ity to capture the imag ina t ion and put reason to sleep—at least for the dura t ion of his act; thoughts about " m e a n i n g " should come after the per form-ance is over. To perfect the trick, or artifice, involved in p roduc ing a s ingu la r , ra ther "mut ton-head-ed" personal i ty f rom a diverse audience recjuires talent and yea r s of h a r d work.

T H E FINAL PRODUCT, how ever, is an art which consists of more than tricks or the suspen-sion of disbelief. It is an ar t which Guthrie proved to us he has ad-mi rab ly mastered.

On Senate's Proposals

IN O N E O F I T S M O S T signif icant met-lings of the year, the Student Senate last M o n d a y n ight consider-

ed three proposals which we teel repre-sent construct ive steps toward creat ing an ideal a c a d e m i c c o m m u n i t y at H o p e Col lege .

For some t ime the w o m e n at Hope-have been l iv ing under a system of rules which has been oppress ive a n d even destruct ive in its total effect. T h e s e rules have regulated every th ing from w h e n a coed must be in the d o r m itory at n ight to w h e n she m a y type in her room. Furthermore , the w o m e n have been g o v e r n e d by the Assoc ia t ion of W o m e n Students , an organ iza t ion which has been largely characterized by its conservat ive measures des igned tn perpetuate the restrictive legal i sm h o v er ing over the lives of w o m e n students .

W e might l eg i t imate ly cjuestion why w o m e n must h a v e a system of gov-e r n m e n t of their own, part icular! ) w h e n the S t u d e n t Senate is d e s i g n e d to represent a n d govern all s tudents a n d when there is n o c o r r e s p o n d i n g govern-m e n t for m e n . However , in a p p r o v i n g Senator Barb T i m m e r ' s proposa l s pro-v id ing for a r e f e r e n d u m o n w o m e n ' s rules, the Senate has taken ac t ion w h i c h we h o p e will result in a ifiore just gov-e r n m e n t for w o m e n and a l iberal iz ing svstem of rules.

BY E S T A B L I S H I N C so many rules for w o m e n , the A.W.S. is serving no cons truct ive end e x c e p t con-

trol. As Miss T i m m e r has asserted, the w o m e n by n o means want to ob l i terate ail ex terna l contro l over their lives, but wish instead to have the f reedom to make dec is ions themselves . T h e r e can he n o matur i ty w i t h o u t f reedom: there

( a n be n o f r e e d o m w i t h o u t trust; and il mature , free m e n and w o m e n are of any concern to this Col lege , s o m e of the w o m e n ' s rules must be changed a n d / o r dropped .

T h e most tar-reaching proposal in-troduced at the Senate m e e t i n g provid-ed lor a C o m m u n i t y G o v e r n m e n t lor H o p e Col lege . C o n c e i v e d by Bob Don-ia and Pres ident G e n e Pearson, this p lan will c o m e before the Senate again o n M o n d a y for approva l . II passed, this g o v e r n m e n t c o u l d be a first s tep in u n i f y i n g and s t r e a m l i n i n g the ent ire d e c i s i o n - m a k i n g process at H o p e . Fa-culty and s tudent s w o u l d be brought together organiza t iona l ly and in one body to d e t e r m i n e h o w lite shal l be

J

regulated o n this campus .

Its mos t i m p o r t a n t ideal is t ic vir-tue is that s ince all m e m b e r s w o u l d be e lected by the p e o p l e w h o m they vsould represent , a greater d e m o c r a t i z a t i o n ol g o v e r n m e n t here w o u l d result . Its prac tical v irtue is that it w o u l d center au-thority in o n e body, not in the i iag-m e n t e d c o m m i t t e e structure which we

have now.

LASTLY, A STUDENT BIN of rights was i n t r o d u c e d to t he-Senate , and this wil l also be u p

lor approval M o n d a y n ight . W e h o p e that this bil l will not pass the Senate w i th little or n o debate , lor the provis-ions in that d o c u m e n t wil l raise some basic q u e s t i o n s of the r e l a t i o n s h i p be-tween the Co l l ege a n d the s tudent . W e d o support the spirit and provis ions ol this bill of rights, and a l t h o u g h some m i g h t feel that it is a useless piece ol paper, it represents a potent ia l guaran-tee of the rights of s tudents and free-d o m wi th in the law.

If Adam Were Humble

It has been sa id that the reason the House ol Representatives treated A d a m Clayton Powell so b a d l y is because Powell refused to show any humility. How dif-ferent everything would have been it" the ex-congressman (at least for the mom-ent) had thrown himself on the mercy of the House and asked forgiveness .

" A d a m Clayton Powell, please step f o r w a r d . "

" Y a s s u h , boss . " " I t has been cha rged that you have

insulted this body of l a w m a k e r s . " " A h ' m a sinner. A m e n . " " T h a t you put y o u r wife on y o u r pay-

roll a l though she did no work a n d received no checks."

"Ah did the t a x p a y e r s wrong . Lordy L o r d . "

" T H A T YOU F U R T H K K M O R E used an airl ine credit c a rd for personal tr ips to F lor ida for yourself and y o u r beautiful secretary and that you spent in excess of 8 4 0 , 0 0 0 of gove rnmen t m o n e y . "

"P ra i sed be the gove rnmen t and all its good w o r k s . "

" A d a m Clayton Powell, you have lived high on the hog for 20 years . Your ab-senteeism record is known to all of us, and y o u r contempt of court citation in Xew York still h a n g s over y o u r head. '"

" H o w could ah have done it after the white folks have been so g o o d to me?"

" T h i s House canno t allow a n y o n e to violate its rules nor can it allow a n y o n e to be guilty of unethical conduct , part icu-larly if it gets in the newspape r s . "

" A h have seen the light. May ah be struck down du r ing a filibuster if ah sin once m o r e . "

" I t isn't enough to say y o u ' r e so r ry , Adam. You must be m a d e an e x a m p l e of or every c o n g r e s s m a n will be put t ing his wife on his payro l l and t ak ing his secre-tary to Bimini ."

"Le t me be punished ; let the full force of this House c rash d o w n on my head ; and then let me dwell in the House of Re-presentat ives forever and eve r . "

"ADAM CLAYTON POWELL, this b o d y is impressed by y o u r humili ty and we want to do every th ing we can to m a k e y o u r pun i shment as light a s poss ib le . "

" A h beg to differ with you , suh, but ah think ah should get the full t reatment . What ah have done is un fo rg iveab le . If you show me mercy then ah will not feel ah have been forgiven. You must p u r g e me of my guilt, for only then will a h be able to s h a v e and look at mahself in the m o r n i n g . "

"Wha t should we do with you , A d a m ? " "Let me pick a bale of cotton, pick a

bale a d a y . " " T h a t would be too h a r s h . " "Ah could tote a b a r g e and lift a ba le

and if ah got a li'l d r u n k ah could l and in j a i l ?"

"1 don ' t think that would be consti tu-t i ona l . "

" B u t you don ' t unde r s t an ' , suh. Mah hear t is weary and a h ' m sick of t ry in ' . Ah 'm tired of l ivin' and ' feared of d y i n ' . "

" S i n g it, A d a m . " " B u t ole m a n river, he just keeps

roll in ' a l o n g . "

"AS YOU ( A N SEE, A d a m , there isn't a d ry eye in the House. We're g o i n g to let you take y o u r seat, because we ' re a fo rg iv ing people in this b o d y , and when we see a m a n as humble as you , we can only say , 'Go forth, b ro ther , and sin no more . ' "

" T h a n k you, boss . Ah'll jes go a n d take m a h seat in the b a c k . "

Dear Edi tor . . . In relation to the A..I. Muste Mem-

Dear Sirs, Please accept the enclosed contr ibut ion

of $15 .75 for the A.J. Muste Memoria l Fund . The money contr ibuted is a spon-taneous expression of Hope College stu-dents, faculty, and admin i s t r a to r s , in re-cognit ion of the s ta tu re and ideals of our a lumnus . We regret the a m o u n t is small but believe that all those who contr ibuted are deeply concerned for the s a m e ideals of peace and equal i ty to which Mr. Muste had dedicated his life. We fur ther believe such a m o n e t a r y contr ibut ion to be one of the best indicat ions of these concerns and o u r commitment to them.

Falters in 'Queen After Death'

March 10, 1967

ALAN JONES AS FERRANTE

Editor's Note: "Queen After Death," Henry De Motherlant's Renaissance drama, is reviewed below by sophomore Bruce Ronda and senior Gordy Kor-stange. It will be presented tonight and tomorrow night in Snow Auditorium.

By Gordy Korstange and Bruce Ronda

The charac te rs in Henry de Monther lan t ' s "Queen After Death" spend their time on s tage deciding to act: The decision pre-sented to the k ing concerns the fate of his son ' s wife Inez and ultimately of the m o n a r c h him-self. The remain ing time is spent in ana lys i s of action, the con-stant weighing of the implicat ions of the act as it applies to each charac ter and his pa r t i cu l a r per-spective.

SU( H IS Monther lan t ' s theory of theater, a relentless p r o b i n g of charac te r action; his is a thea-ter of l i terature, in which lang-uage a s sumes pr ime impor tance in which subtle charac te r iza t ion is dependent solely on verbali-zation.

It is unfor tuna te that the Little Theater has chosen such a play, for amid the lavish cos tumes and sophisticated lighting, it s o o n be-comes a p p a r e n t that the per form-ers were not capab le of us ing l a n g u a g e to the degree that the play d e m a n d e d .

Monther lan t requires character development t h rough a var ied and effective use of d ia logue, and lines in the entirety of the per-fo rmance were too often spoken in a kind of listless mono tone of recitation; indeed the very weight of the words deadened the tone, and p rov ided for a pervas ive sense of b o r e d o m ra ther than the-atr ical excitement.

Further , the t rans la t ion of "Queen After Dea th" contributed to the difficulty in pe r fo rmance and audience comprehens ion ; complex, inverted sentences, even well delivered, inevitably lead to an obsess ion not with the psy-chology of charac te rs but with the words themselves.

T H E ( O S T U M E S , neverthe-less, a re magnif icent , but as with the l ighting, they soon became an end in themselves; jux taposed agains t the s t a rk set, they cre-ated an a tmosphe re of incon-gruity. The p l a y ' s l a n g u a g e has no pretension of being realistic, nor does the s tage setting, but the per iod cos tuming lent an at-mosphere of verisimilitude, initia-ting a tension between acting and cos tuming never to be resolved.

The p l ay ' s success depended al-most entirely on the ability of its actors to hand le t h e m a s s i v e b o m -ba rdmen t of l a n g u a g e , and it is at this point that the product ion falters most seriously. Rhythm in delivery and pace was notice-

ably lack ing f r o m the very out-set, and the consequence was a fai lure to involve the audience in the psychologica l tension the plot was to have initiated.

A L A N JONES' character iza-tion of Fer rante , king of Portu-gal, was cur iously uneven, espec-ially in the first and second acts. Jones was successful, however, in s h a d i n g the k ing ' s personal i ty in response to v a r i o u s charac ters and events, and in so doing, as-sumed the b u r d e n of the per form-ance. Ann Slaughter , p l ay ing his psychological counte rpar t , the simple, idealistic Inez, was not-iceably less successful in charac-ter development , and demonst ra t -ed a lack of control over express-ion.

Her emot iona l r ange was se-verly limited, and the poetry of her lines was often lost in mere recitation. The acting on the whole was domina ted by the sheer ver-bosity of lines, which gave a sense of static ra ther than dynamic char-acterization.

AS NOTED BEFORE, Mon-therlant has asserted that his p lays exist for their l i terary va lue ra ther than for their theatricality. Such d rama t i c works require pro-fessional and experienced per-formers who a re capab le of mas-tering the p laywr igh t ' s l a n g u a g e , not a l lowing it to master them. We feel the Little Theater , in choos ing such a play, has imposed too severe a burden on its personnel .

Dear Editor . . .

Student Criticizes Chapel Slip Distribution System The subject of chapel attend-

ance is undoub ted ly an extremely cont rovers ia l topic on the Hope College c a m p u s t o d a y . However, the a t tendance requirement is not the ma in concern for the wri t ing of this letter. The ma in concern here is the subject of the w a y the chapel a t t endance slips a re being distr ibuted each m o r n i n g .

MY MAIN ( OMPLAINT is di-rected to the indiv idual who h a s the responsibi l i ty of seeing to it that the slips are h a n d e d out cor-rectly. The ind iv idua l who is in cha rge of the dis t r ibut ion of the slips at the chapel door s is one Haro ld B o w m a n . My compla in t and dissa t i s fac t ion is directed to-wards this pa r t i cu l a r individual .

The rule cove r ing the distr ibu-tion of chapel slips states briefly, that slips will not be handed out after eight o 'clock a .m. This rule m a y have been directed to cu rb the s t ragglers , but it seems to me that someone is c a r r y i n g his au-thori ty just a little bit too far . This rule is a bit too much. This is s a y i n g that if you are not in the chapel before eight o 'c lock, you are just out of luck as f a r as the m o r n i n g worsh ip is con-cerned.

However, this is not the point in quest ion. This m o r n i n g 1 h a d the mis for tune to get up a little bit later t h a n I h a d p lanned , a n d consequent ly , 1 was r u n n i n g slightly behind schedule. 1 entered the chapel just as the bells in the tower b e g a n to str ike eight bells.

IT SEEMS that Mr. B o w m a n had a l r e a d y given the c o m m a n d to close the chapel d o o r s and h a d a lso collected all the left over cha-

pel slips. By the time I reached him, he was half way down the s tairs t ak ing the slips to the cha-pel office. It was now no more than ten or fifteen seconds after eight o 'clock. My rush ing to get to chapel on time was consequent-ly all in vain . This has happened to me several times thus fa r this semester, and I am gett ing pretty d a r n sick and tired of it.

IF I WERE the only one that this has happened to, 1 doubt whether 1 would c o m p l a i n at all, but since 1 know that this kind of thing happens all the time, 1 definitely feel that it is a b o u t time to have some c h a n g e s m a d e in the policy r e g a r d i n g the h a n d i n g out of chapel slips. It seems to me that Mr. Bowman is a l lowing his smal l concent ra t ion of au thor i ty to go to his head. He has at this time the power to force peo-ple to miss chapel because of a few pal t ry seconds.

1 feel that this indiv idual is abus-ing his au thor i ty and is defeat ing the whole p u r p o s e of chapel a t tendance slips. In addi t ion , 1 fail to see why the chapel door s must be closed p rompt ly 8 a.m. (they a r e m a n y times closed even before eight) since the chapel ser-vice very seldom gets under way before two or three minutes after eight a n y w a y .

I AM S U R E that there are m a n y people, myself included, who are getting pretty d a r n fed up with h a v i n g to misschape l just because of being a few seconds late. It is abou t time that a s t and be taken concerning this policy and the gross abuse of minor au thor i ty by one par t icu la r individual . Something must be done in this

matter , and that is all there is to it!

Respectfully, Richard (i. Owens

I ' ndoub ted ly the decade of the Sixties h a s evolved into an e ra of protest. Indeed, Hope College has itself witnessed a nomina l a m o u n t of this phenomena in its recent past .

ALL LEGITIMATE protest movements , however, have unfor-tunately been p lagued by an individual who possesses two readily d is t inguishable traits; a sense of mischievious immatur i ty , and a lways , one extremely l a rge chip on his shoulder . With the personal inadequac ies of this per-son I do not wish to be concerned. 1 am concerned, however, when such an indiv idual oversteps his limited b o u n d a r i e s of action a n d finds himself in direct defiance of the law.

In pa r t i cu la r , 1 wish to defend the act ions of those people whose job it is to enforce our legal guide-lines, the police officer. The ir-responsible protester has intro-duced a new thorn in the side of Joe Cop; the c h a r g e of police brutal i ty.

IT HAS LONG been recognized, and rightly so, that the law officer is the only person in our society given the right to use force, a n d then, even he m a y not use exces-sive force. Certain individuals , however, have construed this basic r ight into the misguided idea that the pol iceman may not use a n y force.

This fa l lacious notion must be dispelled. The use of force is not police bruta l i ty per se; indeed, the creator of the brutal i ty is not the officer entitled to use force, but the one who fails to obey the police c o m m a n d . The minute a protester forces a pol iceman to touch him, he alone t r ans fo rms what was or iginal ly a conflict of opinion into a conflict of physical violence. Any refusal to conform to a c o m m a n d , even an act of pass ive resistance, clearly de-m a n d s the use of physical force.

If a police c o m m a n d is impro-per, then the remedy is found in the courts, not in the actions of

S u n d a y a f t e rnoon at 4 p.m. the Student Church will hold its first congrega t iona l meeting ac-co rd ing to Wes Michaelson, Pres-ident of the Student Church Board of Trustees. He said that all stu-dents a re invited to come.

MICHAELSON SAID the meet-ing is being held to make de-cisions a b o u t the future of the Student Church with r ega rd to p r o g r a m s of t ra in ing outside the Church, sp r i ng trips, the Church government a n d a p roposed cof-fee house. He also said that the most impor t an t decisions would be to p rov ide for the choos ing of next yea r ' s Student Church Trus-tees and m a k i n g membersh ip p lans .

" A n y student at Hope has the

individuals . Thus, police brutali-ty is a misnomer which can only discredit the persons who strive to g u a r d our basic freedom and security.

A L T H O U G H this issue may not immediately concern the students at Hope College, 1 feel an acquain-tance with this d i lemma facing our law enforcement agencies should st imulate some suppor t , both m o r a l and actual , for the unenviable task of p rov id ing ef-fective law enforcement.

right to call himself a member of the Student C h u r c h , " said Mi-chaelson, " a n d we want as m a n y to show up and suppor t this meet-ing as poss ib le ."

T H E MEETING WILL consist of repor ts to let the students know what the Church h a s done, dis-cussion and response f rom the students to get them involved in the decisions, and vot ing to allow them to have a real voice in the Student Church government , ac-cord ing to the Board President.

Michaelson said, "All students have the right and privilege to be involved. The students them-selves should be the d r iv ing force behind the Student Church. We are count ing heavily upon the meet ing."

The Fifth Column

Frug By Gordy K o r s t a n g e

The scene: Down, d o w n in the l abyr in th ine c a t a c o m b s which twist their way under the g r o u n d which s u p p o r t s Hope College is a smal l room with a r o u n d tab le in the center a n d two m a p s , one of the c a m p u s and ano the r of the girls ' dormi tor ies , on the walls.

Seated at the table a re 12 gir ls dressed in b lack , their faces pa le and tense. There is an u n e a s y silence, and then one girl, ob-viously the leader , s t a n d s a n d speaks .

" A T T E N T I O N WOMEN! In one h o u r o p e r a t i o n F l U T i (free-dom for us g i r l s ) begins. Now let's g o over the a s s ignmen t s aga in . N a t a s h a , y o u ' r e to alert y o u r committee in each d o r m . At F -hour they ' r e to take the mother -hourses p r i soner , keep ing them in their apa r tmen t s . Son ia you' l l be r eady at the power p lan t to shut off the electricity."

" F F A A H H ! ! " The s c r eam pierces the a i r and c a r o o m s a r o u n d the room. Sonia h a s fainted! Confus ion and conster-nat ion reign, but she is qu ick ly revived.

" I thought 1 hea rd a m o u s e , " she whimpers . The women g lance uneas i ly a r o u n d them, f ind ing noth ing . The leader begins a g a i n .

"( ARUMBA, YOU HAVE the ba t te r ing r a m r e a d y and s ta t ion y o u r s q u a d outs ide Boyd cot tage. Make sure they h a v e their b lack-jacks too. The rest of you know y o u r s ta t ions . M a r i n a , you ' l l be s t ay ing here with me to work the l oudspeake r sys tem and press the little bu t ton if we h a v e to . "

" B u t 1 was supposed to h a v e a d a t e . "

" A w h a t ? " 1 1 voices cry in un ison . " Tra i tor !" The leader , her bushy eyebrows knit, s ta res h a r d at M a r i n a .

"All right Dulcinea, t ake her out and lock her in the medita-tion chapel . Vou all know the vows we've ta jen aga ins t f ra te rn-ization with boys . We h a v e a holy mission to win o u r f r eedom, and no th ing will s top us. We will h a v e the entire set-up, Dean of Women, mother -houses . Student Life Committee, AWS, Adminis-t ra t ion, and trustees under h e a v y g u a r d . II they d o not agree!-we

blow up the chapel . Women, the hou r a p p r o a c h e s ! "

Suddenly a d o o r burs t s open , and ano the r b lack-c lad female rushes in.

"CALL IT O F F ! call it off! Some th ing ' s happened . T h e y ' v e a n n o u n c e d that there will be no more h o u r s for a n y o n e , no chape l requirement for gir ls , no dress o r s m o k i n g regu la t ions , no required eat ing on c a m p u s , and to lop it all off, b a r s will be built in each d o r m to serve d r i n k s ! S o m e b o d y named Proper C h a n n e l s a r r a n g e d to t r ade o u r rules with the men, who a re in need of t h e m . "

P a n d e m o n i u m ! The women are not sure if they s h o u l d be h a p p y or s a d . They look to the leader .

" T h e y can ' t do t h a t , " she s a y s s lowly and sits m u s i n g for a few minutes. "All r ight girls, they can ' t take o u r r egu la t ions a w a y without a fight. What would Hope be like with no th ing to gr ipe a b o u t ? It's p a r t of the g r a n d tra-dition, and we're go ing to get them back. It m a y call for a re-v a m p i n g of o u r p lans -bu t remem-ber, as l o n g as we're o r g a -nized . . . . "

" T h e team turned out much better t han I h a d expected, bo th in the league and o v e r a l l , " stat-ed basketbal l coach Russ De Vette after his s q u a d had won ano the r M1AA title.

" The ve teran coach , who h a s piled up eight MIAA baske tba l l c rowns in his twelve yea r s at Hope, went on to say that the condi t ion of ("arl Walters ' knees was the p r i m a r y cause for the pess imism at seas-on ' s s tart .

" N o n e of us t hough t that Carl would p l ay at all. The doc tor wasn ' t very optimistic, e i ther ," he sa id .

was respons ib le for m a k i n g us the best we were all y e a r . "

A tough zone defense was sing-led out by Coach De Vette as o n e of the t e am ' s m a i n s t rong-poin ts . "When we used the zone, we were as t o u g h defensively as a n y o n e we p l ayed all s eason . Also, o u r overal l quickness a n d the fact that we were able to hand le most g a m e s i tua t ions were i m p o r t a n t . "

A N O T H E R STRONG POINT, accord ing to the a m i a b l e mentor , was the c lub ' s abili ty to ad ju s t to cer ta in s i tuat ions. " O u r com-bina t ion of good sco r ing punch f rom both the outside and the in-side helped a great deal. Also, we led the league in both total offense a n d total defense, which was qui te sa t i s fy ing to o u r p lay-ers ."

Demons t r a t i ng the s q u a d ' s f ine ba lance , De Vette pointed out that ear ly in the season , when the team was p lagued by p o o r shoot-ing, " o u r defense and r e b o u n d i n g picked up the slack. As a result, we won m a n y g a m e s we real ly had no right to win ."

SEVERAL SATISFYING mo-ments c a m e to the ball club dur -ing the 1966-67 c a m p a i g n . The first Ca lv in game , won by the Orange and Blue, 67-66, w a s p r o b a b l y tops in sat isfact ion. "A t the time, we had no reason to ex-pect to beat them," sa id De Vette. Another b ig g a m e was the vic-tory over Wheaton ' s Crusade r s . "We had a score to settle with them, after los ing to them 95-69 , and we c a m e t h r o u g h , " he sa id .

De Vette noted that the mos t sa t i s fy ing series was the final f o u r g a m e s of the season. "After o u r loss to K a l a m a z o o , we were forc-ed to face the fact that each g u y had to p l a y better ball . Led by

Klein, we m a n a g e d to d o just t h a t . " The Dutch, after the 76 -63 loss at K a z o o , reeled off ve ry im-press ive victories ove r Wheaton , Adr i an , Olivet, and Albion.

LOOKING A H E A D t o n e x t s e a son , De Vette stated that , poten-tially, the t eam will be as g o o d as this y e a r ' s edition. He sa id that " a lot depends on V a n Huis

a n d whether he can get to be the scorer we think he can be. Also, we'll h a v e s ta r te rs B r a d y and R y p m a back. Right now, Lloyd Schout fits into the s t a r t i ng p l a n s at one f o r w a r d . J u d g i n g f r o m his f r e s h m a n y e a r p e r f o r m a n c e , he can be an unbe l ievab le s c o r e r . " Don K r o n e m e y e r is a l so be ing

coun ted to c o m e t h r o u g h in this pos i t ion .

H o p e ' s g u a r d s i tua t ion shou ld be well in h a n d next yea r , ac-c o r d i n g to the coach. " D a v e I 't-z inger is the m a n to be beaten ou t r igh t now. R y p m a is set at the o ther g u a r d . " Other candi-dates include Cal Bel tman and f r e shmen T o m Dyks t ra , Bruce Mc C r e a r y , and Brad Mc Louth.

" T H E MIAA will be much bet-ter next yea r , so we'll h a v e to be i m p r o v e d o u r s e l v e s , " De Vette re-m a r k e d . Ca lv in ' s Kim Campbe l l and K a z o o ' s T o m C r a w f o r d were the o n l y sen iors a m o n g the l eague l eade r s in all d e p a r t m e n t s this sea-son.

Brady, who led the league in three categories, was chosen for the first team and Walters, who came back from a knee injury to lead the Dutch to the champ-ionship. was chosen for the second team.

T H E STRONG P O I N T of this yea r ' s s q u a d was its potent, well-ba l anced offense. Seven of the 12 j u n i o r Dutchmen scored be-tween 125 and 2 0 6 total po in t s for the season .
