Dominance of Science Stirs Resentment Edi tor ' s note: This article is the second in a series p r o b i n g the complex re la t ionship between the sciences and the humani t i es on the Hope College c a m p u s . Next week the ques t ion of special izat ion at the u n d e r g r a d u a t e level will be examined .

By George A r w a d y anchor Associate Editor

The science depa r tmen t s , rated hy most students, laculty and ad min i s t ra to r s to be a m o n g Hope 's most high-caliber fields ol study, a re considered by some professors in tlu1 humani t i es to h a v e achie\ e(l an unhea l thy d o m i n a n c e ol c a m p u s academics .

Some faculty m e m b e r s feel that science is o v e r e m p h a s i / e d at Hope ('ollegi1. " T h i s i.s .1 technical school within .1 liber.il ar ts colk 'ge," oiK1 .said.

O T H E R S l-'KKL that tin" nu'm-ber.s ol ihe science depa r tmen t s h a \ e lighter c lass loads , better students, and better facilities. This. the\ s.iy, exp la ins the scientists" m o r r fre(|uent engagement in re-search .md excellent r rsul ts in terms of student achiex t'inent.

I his imba lance between the sci enci's and humani t i es can be

traced, they believe, to f avor i t i sm shown to the p l a n s and personnel of the science d e p a r t m e n t s by the present Adminis t ra t ion .

Do the facts suppor t this opin-ion? What is the t rue re la t ionsh ip between the a r t s and the sciences at Hope College?

TO U N D E R S T A N D that re-la t ionship , it is first necessary to u n d e r s t a n d that impor t an t ex-ternal influences exist which deter-mine the relative s t rengths of sci-ence and non-science on a college campus .

The chief external influence is economic. Since Sputnik was launched in 19')7, the I 'ni ted States government h a s been ap-p r o p r i a t i n g vast s u m s of m o n e y to bolster the sciences. Scientists have thus found f inancia l aid much easier to obta in t h a n p e o p l e in the ar ts .

DR, B A R N A B V K E E N E Y , for-mer president of Brown I 'n iver sity and c h a i r m a n of the Na t iona l Kndowment for the Humani t i es , commented on the doub le s tand a i d of government aid in an Au gust interview in the " C h r o n i c l e of 11 igher Kducat ion ."

"II you divided all the federal

money for science by the number of people with professor ia l r ank in the sciences, thescientis ts would get someth ing like $80.()()() apiece ." he said .

" A n d if you did the s a m e thing with the money for the humani t ies , the human i s t would get someth ing like $ 7 . " he added. " I t ' s that g r o s s a different ia l ."

A L E S S T A N G I B L E , but per-h a p s m o r e s ignif icant , external influence on the way in which sci-ence is r ega rded both on and off a college c a m p u s is the tendency to deify the scientist m the 2()th cen tury.

"Peop le just tend to look at work done in science as m o r e impor-tant t h a n that d o n e in the human-ities," observed one professor . An-other commented that a student interested t o d a y in m a k i n g .1 m a r k of f a m e or fo r tune would tend to go into science.

This att i tude is lending to d r a w m a n y good s tudents into s tudy in science ra ther than the arts, it is especially d r a w i n g m o r e sci ence t h a n humani t i es s tudents to con t inue their studies beyond the bache lo r ' s degree. This s i tuat ion

C O M E ON—PULL!—Denny F a r m e r , s o p h o m o r e coach , s t r a i n s in an effort to gel his team ready for this a f t e r n o o n ' s pull. T h e

f rosh and s o p h s will meet on the b a n k s of Black Riv er at 4 p .m . to de te rmine who will win and who will swim.

Anyone l ook ing at the b a n k s of the Black River this a f t e rnoon would think that he was survey-ing a battlefield left over f rom World War 1. The t renches h a v e been filled in since then, he would say . but the evidence is clear -s o m e patr iot in 1916 was pre-p a r i n g the town for Kaiser Wil-li elm.

And in a n y other p lace he might be right. But not in Hol land , Mich., the scene of H o p e College 's a n n u a l pull. For every year in the beg inn ing of October these trenches a p p e a r , and an entire college student b o d y ga i ly goes to the river with no fear of in-ju ry .

B U T E V E N T H O U G H there a re no genera ls , t a n k s or bay-onet charges , the event is m a r -tial none the less.

Pre-battle sk i rmishes h a v e been g o i n g on for several weeks. For -tunate ly for the c a m p u s , the wea-p o n s have been no th ing m o r e dan -g e r o u s than water ba l loons . Raid-ing par t ies of f reshmen and sopho-m o r e s ga ther in the p ine-grove,

hoping to a m b u s h their foes. Man-euvers a re subtle, such as cover-ing the b r a v e soul who c h a r g e s the enemy, a r m e d with on ly a paper can full of water, or b reak-ing a g r o u p a w a y f rom the s u p p l y line -- a g a r d e n hose.

The pa r t i c ipan t s in the actual pull h a v e been go ing t h r o u g h ba-sic t ra in ing for a little m o r e t h a n a week. TheDri l l Inst ructors . Den-ny F a r m e r .

Rush .lohn-son and Rick V a n d e r b e r g . h a v e been put t ing the recuits t h r o u g h r igo rous cal is thenics and prac-tices to p r e p a r e them for the battle.

T H E F I G H T I N G techniques h a v e been developed over the years since 1898 when the entire male popu l a t i on of the f r e s h m a n class pulled aga in s t all the sopho-more men. The basic m o v e s a re the lock, lying on the r o p e to prevent loss, the rock, des igned to offset the opponen t s offensive dr ive and ga in rope by inches, and a var ie ty of heaves f r o m a

\

n u m b e r of s q u a t i n g and stand-ing posi t ions .

But p r o b a b l y the most effective weapon is one that cannot be taught by the coaches. Like gas . it c anno t be seen, but is easily sensed as the opponen t tries to conquer . Tha t w e a p o n is c lass spirit . The en thus i a sm that swells f rom behind the snow fences sep-a ra t ing the specta tors f rom the pul lers is a bigger help than a well t ra ined b o d y or a perfectly mastered technique.

S U P P L Y L I N E S h a v e not been neglected. Fach m a n has his own pe r sona l one in his m o r a l e girl. She tapes his h a n d s to prevent blisters and rope b u r n s , wipes his b row, teeos him o r a n g e slices and gives him the vocal encour-agement needed to keep him go-ing.

(H all the men that came out lor the first practice, only 20 re-m a i n on each team, cuts hav ing been m a d e last week.

Pulling for the f r e shmen are Steven Van Pelt, Keith Cross lena, Dave (Irer, J ack J u r g u s s o n , Steve Jacousse , Bruce Wodenberg , Hoss Bone. Warren S h e r m a n . Doug Westveer. Cal Van Hol land . Paul Hilbelink. Demi T h o m a n . Tim Pleune, George Fischer . Jon Win-der Ploeg. T o m Dawson, Jim Price, Ken Radeck, Dick Lowing and ( l a r y Van Kempen.

T H E E X A C T TIM E o f t h e p e a c e which a l w a y s fol lows the pull is not known . Pulls h a v e sometimes lasted less than an hour , while others d r a g out to a lmost three-hou r contests. C o a c h Cande lo ra predicts that this year will be one of the longer pulls .

The battle field h a s been chos-en and the t roops a r e ready. And the on ly r e p a r a t i o n is a swim in the Black River. Who will t ake it no one can say .

Panic Seizes Seniors

"Grad School Disease" Strikes By Pat Canfield

Cata logs , c i rculars , b rochures and f inancia l -a id in fo rmat ion c r am the mai l -boxes of f rant ic Hope seniors as g r a d u a t e school panic sets in.

This disease affects the upper half of the senior student body and manifests itself in four pri-m a r y fo rms .

T H E FIRST, s tudentus insecur-ius, is caused b y a senior ' s reali-zation that his college days are almost over and sooil he must go out into the world and ea rn his own living. This thought pro-duces extreme fr ight which the student is only able to overcome by securing a " s a f e " posit ion as a g r a d u a t e student. Occasionally the p rog re s s of this disease-form may be retarded; but it usua l ly reoccurs after complet ion of g rad-uate school. Medication: several wa rm Linus b lankets applied fre-quently.

Pseudos intellectualus, the sec-ond fo rm, victimizes the pale , un-kempt, horn- r immed individual who can spout off the succession of English m o n a r c h s , or recite " T h e Midnight Hide of Paul Re-vere" without ba t t ing an eyelash. Unfor tunate ly , this fact-filled soul never real ly learns any th ing in college and f igures he can " f a k e it" in g r a d school. Much to his d i smay , he f inds that the Gradu -ate Record Exam does not ask one single quest ion on English succession or Longfel low's "Re-vere ." Medication: One Professor Dykst ra lecture on "What is a s tudent?" taken three times daily.

T H E THIRD TYPE, pa t r iu s spongeius , is often heredi tar i ly passed f rom father to son t h r o u g h the fami ly business. With an M.A. or better fol lowing the n a m e on his p r iva te office door . Sonny does not feel so bad ly abou t col-lecting a s a l a r y seven times larg-

SLC Arranges Calender; Marker Named to Board

The Student Life Commit teedis-cussed a r r a n g e m e n t s for the Col-lege ca lendar and selected one of its members to serve on the Com-munica t ions B o a r d at its meet-Monday .

The p rocedure for securing dates on the College ca lendar was reviewed. Cra ig Hol leman, Stu-dent Senate President, said that a few dates have been set aside for special events such as the Pull or Nykerk . On these dates no other activities will be scheduled.

On all other da tes a n y g r o u p

m a y schedule events. While the committee felt that ideally only one event should be held at a given time, it decided to allow m o r e t h a n one activity to be scheduled for the s a m e time period. Dean of Stu-dents Robert De Young, in whose office the ca lendar a r r a n g e m e n t s a re hand led , said that it would be up to indiv idual o rgan iza t ions to decide whether they wanted to " c o m p e t e " for attendance.

Dr. David Marker was appoin t -ed to serve on the Communica-tions Board .

A c o m m o n off-shoot of this is lotsa monius, usual ly contracted by the good- job seeker a n d char-acterized by an expected enlarge-ment of the wallet p roduced after e a r n i n g a degree in g r a d u a t e school. Medication: N o known treatment has p roved successful.

A N EXTREMELY r a r e strain of the disease, serious scholarus , afflicts a p p r o x i m a t e l y o n e p e r c e n t of all college individuals . The s y m p t o m s are a n honest desire to fur ther one 's educat ion and the notion that more knowledge would help one to do, ra ther than obtain, a better job. Most medical men a re baffled by the disease 's increasing ra te of re-occurance and can only theorize that an ad-vanced set of values m a y well be the cause. Medication: Several firm beliefs followed by hard work.

The Hope College Clinic reports that grad-school vaccine is now ava i l ab l e to senior s tudents at a n o m i n a l fee. " H o w e v e r , " c a u t i o n -ed the clinic doctor , " these injec-t ions are intended only as a prc^ vent ive measure , not a cure ."

F IRE—Loca l f i r emen enter an ups ta i r s window at B o u m a Cot-tage last S u n d a y to extinguish a fire s tar ted when a cigarette butt was thrown into a t r a sh can. The fire caused extensive s m o k e d a m a g e to walls and ceilings of the b e d r o o m s and the lounge

area .

A cigarette, carelessly tossed into a t rash can in B o u m a Cot-tage, the ups ta i r s of Hope Col-lege health clinic, resulted in a fire which caused s m o k e d a m a g e to r o o m s and contents, last Sun-day at 3 p.m.

Deadline for Grad Records And Nat'l Teacher Exams Near

Hope College seniors h a v e one week in which to get their appli-ca t ions in for the first G r a d u a t e Record Examina t ion given this year . The exam, accord ing to Dr. Philip Van Eyl, will be given S a t u r d a y , Oct. 2 8 at 8 :45 a.m. The place of the test will be an-nounced later.

Dr. Van Eyl stated the GRE will be administered three times at Hope. The dates a re October 28, December 9 and J a n u a r y 20, 1968, and he r ecommends that sen iors apply at least two weeks before the e x a m i n a t i o n date.

The GRE consists of two par ts : a genera l knowledge exam a t 8 :45 a.m. and specialized exams at 1:45 p.m. on the s a m e day. Dr. Van Eyl urges seniors who are u n s u r e about whether to take the complete exam or not to con-tact t be i rg radua t e school.

Special e x a m s are given in bio-logy, business, chemistry, econo-mics, education, engineering, P]n-glish literature, mathemat ics , music, ph i losophy , phys ica l ed-

ucation, physics, p sycho logy , so-ciology, Spanish and speech.

Dr. Van Eyl a lso advises stu-dents who a re p l a n n i n g to enter the service or theological semin-ary before g r a d u a t e school to take the G R E now ra ther than to wait.

Also, college seniors who are p r e p a r i n g to teach next year a re usual ly required to t ake the Na-tional Teacher E x a m i n a t i o n s , which are being offered Feb. 3, April 6 and July 6.

Results of the N a t i o n a l Teacher foams are used by m a n y l a rge school districts as one of several factors in the selection of new-teachers.

A bulletin of i n fo rma t ion con-ta in ing a list of test centers and in fo rmat ion about the examina-tions, as well as a reg is t ra t ion f o r m , m a y be ob ta ined f rom the educat ion depar tment .

Prospective teachers should con-tact the school sys tems in which they seek employment for specific advice on which e x a m i n a t i o n s to take and when to t ake them.

According to C lay Howe, lh o

only pe r son ups t a i r s at the time, he was s tudy ing and smelled smoke. He looked into the kit-chenette and saw that the r o o m was filled with smoke . He immedi-ately closed the d o o r and went downs ta i r s to get the other people out of the house.

After cal l ing the Hol land Fire Depar tment he went back ups ta i r s with a fire ext inguisher but was u n a b l e to get close enough to the fire due to the thick s m o k e which was p o u r i n g out of the r o o m .

" I tried to ext inguish the fire but the s m o k e was so black that I couldn ' t see into the r o o m , " stated Howe. " T h e extinguisher I used, a l t hough tagged 1964, was somewha t effective but there was just too much s m o k e . "

Accord ing to Michael Gerrie, Director of Men's Housing, ex-tensive s m o k e d a m a g e resulted f rom the fire in the b e d r o o m s a n d the l o u n g e a rea , and repa in t ing and p la s t e r ing will have to be done in the cottage.

A long with s m o k e d a m a g e to the interior of the cottage, the clothes of the nine residents had to be a i red out due to the smoke which pe rmea ted the closets.

At the present time Mr. Gerrie is conduc t ing an invest igat ion of the fire.

OH H o p e ' s E x c e l l e n c e TE N YEARS AGO this week the Soviet

U n i o n hur led a smal l vehicle into orbit a r o u n d the ear th . K n o w n a s

Sputnik I, this spacecraf t did m o r e to revolut ionize educa t ion in the United States than a n y o ther s ingle event in our his tory.

Agoniz ing r e a p p r a i s a l s of o u r schools concluded that we were not devo t ing e n o u g h t ime to the s tudy of b io logy , chem-istry, physics a n d mathemat ics . Almost ove rn igh t test tubes began a p p e a r i n g in the e lementary school . High schools b e g a n of fer ing a n d requ i r ing courses in h igher m a t h , chemis t ry a n d physics .

Science became the key word in o u r society. G o v e r n m e n t research g r a n t s b e g a n m u s h r o o m i n g in size and f requency. T h e ind iv idua l who could deal with the intr icate p r o b l e m s of the s p a c e age sudden ly b e c a m e o u r na t ion ' s most v a l u a b l e c o m m o d i t y .

No t ing the oppor tun i t i e s and r e w a r d s of a career in science, top people b e g a n to look to the l a b o r a t o r y as the p lace to expend their genius . T h e humanit ies be-came, to a s ignif icant degree, a second class career and a no t - so - impor tan t a r e a for concern.

Amer ica ' s colleges swiftly entered this m a i n s t r e a m of na t iona l sentiment. Br ing-ing h u g e s u m s ol money to the c a m p u s and often m a k i n g the n a m e of a un ivers i ty an in te rna t iona l headl ine, the scientist be-c a m e the favor i t e of m a n y colleges, a l u m n i and a d m i n i s t r a t i o n s across the c o u n t r y .

H o p e Col lege did not r emain i m m u n e f r o m the tide of na t iona l thought . A l r e a d y h a v i n g a r epu ta t ion as a line school lo r science, H o p e r e sponded with e x p a n s i o n s and i m p r o v e m e n t s in science pe r sonne l and equipment .

Science is a n expensive p ropos i t i on in the second hall of the 20 th century , but the Col lege coupled its resources with

g o v e r n m e n t ass i s tance to m a k e this school a compet i to r , and indeed a l eader , in this field of s tudy which h a s s u d d e n l y become so impor t an t .

j E V E L O P M E N T IN T H E h u m a n i -ties, while H o p e p e r h a p s recognized it as m o r e impor t an t t h a n most

other schools , did not proceed as r ap id ly .

Science d e p a r t m e n t s moved to a h igher p la teau of academic excellence than s o m e of the humani t ies depa r tmen t s .

Fresendy at this school, s o m e people in the humani t i es a r e u n h a p p y with the

a p p a r e n t super ior i ty of the sciences. They feel the College is f a v o r i n g the sciences to the detr iment of the arts. T h e y a r e dis-

m a y e d , fo r example , by a physics depar t -ment that con ta ins five Ph .D . ' s which last yea r g r a d u a t e d o n l y seven m a j o r s .

SU C H Q U A N T I T Y A N D qua l i ty should not be cause for a l a r m . Th i s

shou ld serve a s an e x a m p l e t o s t r i v e for in all depa r tmen t s . As one phys ics p ro fe s so r pointed ou t , the H o p e phys ics d e p a r t m e n t is not out of line with the size a n d cal iber ol d e p a r t m e n t s at o ther fine schools .

T h e goal this school mus t s t r ive for is a l l - a round academic excellence. O u r science d e p a r t m e n t s , egged on in p a r t by the a t m o s p h e r e ol the post -Sputnik pe r iod , h a v e achieved that excellence. S o m e a r e a s in the human i t i e s still have a way to go.

T h e only real f avo r i t i sm being shown , a s we see it, is for that g o a l of a l l - a round excellence. Academics at H o p e shou ld be built to c o m p a r e f a v o r a b l y with a n y college ol o u r size in the coun t ry . Th i s is the excellence that o u r a g e de-m a n d s . We must m a k e that excellence the lu ture of H o p e College.

The Sandbox

By John N i v a l a

For the four th year in a row, 1 find myself en joy ing the p leasure of a u t u m n in this quaint and socially p ros t r a t ed citadel of Dutch provincia l i sm. Th ings don ' t real ly c h a n g e very much except for the prices at Boone 's and Mill's. The air of a p a t h y still h a n g s heavy a r o u n d us, the chapel system continues to be forcibly entrenched in our hearts and minds , and t h e s o p h o m o r e s and f reshmen are once aga in p r e p a r i n g to pull , shove and kick each other into the scenic but polluted Black River.

I T H O U G H T it might be interesting to see how thepul l was staged in times past , so I a r r a n g e d an interview with Be rn i e (B .B . ) Fern , anchor m a n for the winning team in the contest of 1909.

I went to see Mr. Fern at his own es-tabl ishment -- Bernie 's Complete Ca te r ing Service ("We b r i n g it - you eat i t"). Mr. Fern looked r e m a r k a b l y trim i n s p i t e o f h i s advanced age. He stook four and a half feet high and weighed 115 pounds , only ten pounds over his pul l ing weight. Outside of the loss of a little hair and one leg, he looked exactly like his y e a r b o o k picture.

" H o w do you do, Mr. F e r n , " 1 said. " I would like to ask you some ques t ions about the pu l l . "

"Don ' t bother with that Mr. Fern s tuff ," he boomed. " Jus t call me B.B. Tha t s t a n d s for Body Beautiful .^

I N ORDER T O impress me with the suitabili ty of his name, Mr. Fern spent the next ten minu te s f l ex ingoneof his a t rophied biceps.

" T h e n a m e really fits, doesn' t i t?" Assur ing him that his phys ique was

noth ing short of heavenly , I tried to p u m p B.B. for s o m e informat ion . Not ing that he seemed unusua l ly small for an anchor m a n , I asked him if he thought that t o d a y ' s t eams would h a v e had a n y t rouble with pas t teams such as his.

" O F C O U R S E , they would h a v e , " he replied. "As a mat ter of fact, I 'd go as f a r as to s a y we would have beaten them. T h e w a y we used our heads, these youngs t e r s wouldn ' t s t and a chance. Why, the yea r we won, o u r team was outweighed 4 5 p o u n d s a m a n . "

I was amazed . " H o w in the world did you ever m a n a g e to win? You must rea l ly h a v e had to think about that one . "

"Well, it wasn ' t so much a matter of th inking as it was of s t inking," he said. "We did it b y u s ing a basic principle - sweat a n d smell. It w a s that simple. F o r three

weeks before the pull we didn ' t wash or change our clothes. On the d a y of the big event, we chose the upwind side of the river and the odor d r o v e the other g u y s right out of their pits. What a complete victory! It real ly showed our true s t rength. We smelled."

I ^ O U L D only agree. B.B. sure did smell. T ry ing to find out some m o r e about the good old days , 1 said, "What I 'm real ly interested in is your pre-pull activities. For instance, did you h a v e water f igh t s?"

"We used to, but we had to stop. A few of the faculty m e m b e r s thought we were prac t ic ing total immers ion and told the Adminis t ra t ion that we wereus inghere t ica l customs. Of course, not wishing to offend the sensitivities of a n y minori ty g r o u p , such as the faculty, the Adminis t ra t ion put a halt to the water f igh ts . "

" H O W DID YOU build up class spirit then? Were there a n y bonfire ra l lys , snake dances or other neat things like tha t?"

" N o , " B.B. said. "We decided to insti-tute someth ing that would help to achieve a closer contact between the classes. We thought it would be swell to h a v e the f rosh and sophs come together ."

"Oh , I get it. You had someth ing like the f r e s h m a n beach par ty , didn ' t y o u ? "

" N O , WHAT W E did was to institute g a n g fights. It was grea t fun to j u m p a few f reshmen and hit them over the head with a lead pipe. It g a v e you a real feeling of in t imacy with the underc lassmen. Also, it g a v e the f reshmen a chance to meet the upperc lassmen on a real down-to-ear th level ."

"Didn ' t this h a v e any adverse social consequences, B.B.? I mean, people usua l ly jdbn ' t t ake k ind ly to being a s sau l t ed . "

" N o , everybody usual ly m a n a g e d to keep up the good spirit of fun. There were no incidents outside of a few g r u d g e knif-» ings. And they were caused by the sore heads. People ac tual ly r ega rded it as an h o n o r to lose a few teeth for their class. They even had a s logan - " B l a c k and Blue Pow«r!" However , the real fun didn ' t begin until they s tar ted the N y k e r k com-petition. Would you like to hear abou t t ha t ? "

' T M SORRY, B.B. I real ly don ' t h a v e e n o u g h time. T h a n k you for y o u r t r o u b l a "

After ta lking to Mr. Fern , I realized how su re it is that we have lost the abili ty to combine fun a n d fellowship. Oh well, s o m e things a re just not mean t to be.

'Seems like old H a r v can ji^ever pa s s up an election.'

Ghetto, Inc.

A friend of mine has just thought of a w a y to raise a l a rge sum of money for poverty-str icken a reas without one cent 's cost to the t axpaye r . He calls his p r o g r a m Ghetto Inc. and this is his exp lana t ion of how it works.

" F r o m now until the president ia l elec-tions in 1968 , " my friend said, "ghe t tos are go ing to be the big th ing and every polit ician runn ing for public office is go ing to h a v e to visit one. But most poli t icians don' t know where to begin when it comes to t o u r i n g the slums, and so Ghetto Inc. will m a k e all the a r r a n g e m e n t s for them, for a fee, of course . "

" W h a t will you do?" " W E L L , L E T US suppose the person

wishing to tour a ghetto a r e a is one of the m a n y thousands of presidential candida tes who feels obl igated to walk t h rough a depressed area . Ghetto Inc. would m a k e out an i t inerary for him. First , we'd have him visit a rat-infested tenement where he could be visibly shocked.

" T h e n we'd take him over to meet the pa r i sh priest who h a s just coached a Little League team of deprived youngs te r s to a city championsh ip . After that we'd have him talk to an ex-convict who has gone s t ra ight and become a Good H u m o r man .

" F i n a l l y , we would a r r a n g e an inter-view with an unwed mother who h a s just lost her welfare payments . The cand ida t e could or could not p r o m i s e the w o m a n he'd do something about it, depending on how he thinks the coun t ry feels at the time about unwed m o t h e r s . "

" I t sounds like a great service," I said. " H o w much does it cost?"

" W E L L , T H A T ' S J U S T a s imple tour , and with t r anspor t a t ion and including the ex-convict and Good H u m o r truck, we c h a r g e $ 1 , 5 0 0 . "

" T h a t ' s not expensive ," 1 said.

"Of course, Ghetto Inc. has m o r e l u x u r -ious tours. We can a r r a n g e for a cand ida t e to walk t h r o u g h a g a r b a g e dump , have him p h o t o g r a p h e d with a g r o u p of s t r ik ing school teachers , let him cut the r ibbon for a new p l a y g r o u n d and then lay the corner-stone for a low-cost hous ing development . The c h a r g e for this would be $10 ,000 , and we'd supp ly the s t r ik ing school-teachers . "

" Y O U M U S T B E s w a m p e d with busi-ness ," I said.

"Well, it's p icking up nicely," my fr iend said. "Of course, the b e a u t y of Ghetto Inc. is that we can service all cand ida te s whether they ' re for or aga in s t the pover ty p r o g r a m . "

and t h o u g h He feels i n a d e q u a t e and weak. He must p r e p a r e Him-self to accompl i sh it.

" A s t r ap s tudded with two rows of s h a r p nai ls was h a n g i n g a b o v e his head . Every even ing before he slept. He lashed and bled his b o d y so that he would r e m a i n t ranqui l d u r i n g the night a n d not act inso-lently. A light t r emor h a d seized him. He could not r emember what t empta t ions had c o m e a g a i n in his sleep, but he felt that he had escaped a great d a n g e r . ' I canno t bear a n y more ; I 've had enough , ' he m u r m u r e d , r a i s i ng his eyes to heaven and s i g h i n g . "

A C C E P T I N G T H E WAY of the Cross is not easy; He must reject the world,, the presence with the people, the earth, the flowers and trees which He h a s g r o w n to love with His entire being. " His insides b lossomed; the n igh t inga le be-came entangled in the f lowering b r a n c h e s and could not, did not, wish to flee ever aga in . Where to go? Why should it leave? This ear th was P a r a d i s e . " Christ must die despite His fear.

He p leads with God to c h a n g e His will, begg ing mercy and re-fus ing to accept His own respon-sibility. But God dr ives Him to HLs mission, to His death, tor-ment ing Him every moment with the incessant cries of His people for s a lva t ion and His cu r so ry re-flection by t hepeop le H e i s t o s a v e .

God to rmen t ing ly shows him His own s infulness and the sins of the wor ld which He is to bea r and wipe a w a y by the pas s ing of His own life's b r ea th . He is the L a m b of God be ing led to the s laughte r and He is helpless. Set-ting out to teach the new law and fulfill the old, He h a s not learned

R I C H A R D V A L A N T A S I S

to accept the fullest consequences of His own teaching. He must exhibit the most p r o f o u n d aspect of love, but fears giving it.

AS T H E PASSOVER a p p r o a c h -es, He goes into the desert to talk with God, to g a i n the s t rength He needs, f inding not only God, but a lso Sa tan , who tempts Him to establish His k i n g d o m on ear th .

Re turn ing i l luminated with the s t rength of the Fa the r after defeat-ing Sa tan , He o rgan izes the events of the Passove r and His own Pas-sion, dedica t ing himself to the miss ion that God h a s given Him f inal ly f rom the Cross p roc la im-ing t r i u m p h a n t l y after His f inal t empta t ion , the new beginning: " It is accompl i shed!"

I N T R A C I N G the life of Christ and His spir i tual development ,

K a z a n t z a k i s exemplifies the " a n -guish and the great hope of man-k i n d . " T h r o u g h Christ , he feels the state of m a n : t ry ing to find m e a n i n g in a chaotic wor ld ; the necessity for each m a n to per-fo rm his miss ion for h u m a n i t y ; the necessary conque r ing of the tempta t ion of the easy way of this world in order to reach the ul t imate a im of this life; and fi-nal ly , " t he yea rn ing , so h u m a n , so s u p e r h u m a n , of m a n to at ta in God or, m o r e exactly, to re turn to Dios and identify himself with h i m . "

Chris t , then, symbol izes the po-tential of all men who seek God with sincerity and their entire be-ing; His p a s s i o n -- the s t ruggle to find union with God, to find mean-ing in a world where m e a n i n g is created by the men who actively par t ic ipate ; His sacrif ice ~ the ul-t imate complete th rus t ing of one ' s own being into the task.

T H E L I F E OF Christ is the t r a n s f o r m a t i o n of the phys ica l in-to the spi r i tua l , the immor t a l i z i ng of the mor t a l . Herein lies m a n ' s sa lva t ion . F o r K a z a n t z a k i s , so l o n g as m a n endeavors , s t ruggles , actively par t ic ipates , he is saved; but the s a l v a t i o n lies in the cru-cifying of one ' s self for the mean-ing-giving miss ion in life.

In this f r a m e of reference, there is no need for a resurrect ion, for the real resurrec t ion is the return-ing of the physical to God and the accompl i sh ing for m a n k i n d of the mission.

The essence of existence, then, is a c o m r a d e s h i p with God in which each does his duty to s o m e higher end: as Jesus said to J u d a s : "We two must s a v e the world . Help m e . "

Review of the News Wash ing ton kept close watch

this week on cr i t ic isms of the Amer ican involvement in Southeas t Asia b y both Repub-l icans at h o m e and d i p l o m a t s at the United Na t ions .

The greatest p a r t of the criti-cism was charac ter ized by the content ion that c a n d o r and nones ty is l a c k i n g on t h e p a r t of President J o h n s o n in the direc-tion of the Vie tnam War and that the war has become too " A m e r i c a n i z e d . "

M a n y Republ icans in Con-gress . desire to build a plat-fo rm for 1968 on which the entire p a r t y can s tand , com-for tab ly . Michigan Governor George R o m n e y was one of the first to alter his posi t ion on Vietnam.

He switched f r o m a s tand of tentat ive s u p p o r t t owards ad-minis t ra t ion s t ra tegy to a posi-tion founded on the premise that we must re turn to the gov-ernment of South Vietnam much of the responsibi l i ty that we h a v e t aken for m a n a g i n g the war . The f requency of his policy s ta tements not iceably s lackened after the use of the word " b r a i n w a s h e d " to de-scribe the r e a s o n for the re-versa l of his posi t ion.

This week. Senate Republi-cans Clifford Case of New Jer-sey and T h r u s t o n Mor ton of Kentucky jo ined together in c h a r g i n g that the President is gui l ty of c rea t ing a "cr is is of conf idence" by his domestic tactics of the war , a n d that the

Vie tnam War h a s become much too " A m e r i c a n i z e d . "

The Adminis t ra t ion should concent ra te its effort, accord-ing to both men, on encourag -ing the crea t ion of a s table Vi-e tnamese commun i ty , r u n by responsible , intelligent and cap-able Vie tnamese who a re able to m a i n t a i n domestic stabil i ty in their own count ry .

Senator Mor ton picked up G o v e r n o r R o m n e y ' s b ra in-w a s h i n g c h a r g e s and threw them at the White House, charg-ing " t h a t the President himself has been b r a i n w a s h e d . "

In an o b v i o u s at tempt to build on Gove rno r Romney ' s earlier cha rges . Senator Mor-ton recalled the w a r n i n g given by President Eisenhower in 1961 to b e w a r e of the mil i tary-industr ial complex that exists in the na t ion , and r e m a r k e d that the President was " b r a i n -w a s h e d " as long ago as 1961 by that s a m e g r o u p while on a trip to Sa igon .

Senator Case ' s central point was that the task before the U.S. was to help build a self-g o v e r n i n g society in South Vi-e tnam that would inspire the suppor t of thepeople . Hecla im-ed that " t h e r e has been no significant p r o g r e s s at a l l " in this aspect of the effort. He then added that the President has "wil l ful ly distorted the m e a n i n g of the T o n k i n Gulf Resolut ion of August , 1964, to m a k e it a p p e a r a b lank check for all that h a s been done since then ."

At the United Nat ions , the General Assembly served as the s t age for another r o u n d of criticism a imed at the White House. British Fore ign Minis-ter George Brown, C a n a d i a n Fore ign Minister Paul Mar t in , and Danish Prime Minister Jens Otto K r a g all expressed their desire that the United States shou ld initiate a halt in b o m b -ing, which they said would lead to deesca la t ion and negot ia-t ions with Nor th Vietnam.

There is no sign that the Pres-ident is swayed by all the criti-cism a imed at his policy. In a na t ionwide television a d d r e s s President J o h n s o n stated that the r e a s o n for our involvement is the protect ion or o u r own security. Offering no new diplo-matic depar tu res , the President r emained convinced that the in-f o r m a t i o n ava i l ab l e f r o m the battlefield indicates that H a n o i is los ing the war.

Deemphas iz ing his usua l ap-pea ls to the principles of free-dom and democracy , J o h n s o n stressed that the na t ion ' s own security is the m a i n r e a s o n for our involvement and that a defeat in South Vie tnam would e n d a n g e r all of Southeas t Asia, a s well a s the r ema inde r of the world in which Amer i cans must live.

As th ings now s tand . Presi-dent J o h n s o n ' s answer to a week of intense, swelling criti-cism h a s at least t e m p o r a r i l y frozen the two poles of op in ion on the w a r in u n c o m p r o m i s i n g posi t ions .

The Probability of ESP Editor's note: This week's facul-ty focus is written by John A. Barlow, professor of psycholo-gy. A 1949 graduate of Oberlin College, professor Barlow studi-ed under Dr. J. B. Rhine at Duke University and received his Ph.D. from that school in 1952. Eh-. Rhine will speak at an all-col-lege assembly Thursday morn-ing at 10:30.

By John A. Barlow

"Science does not deal with ab-solute t ruth but with p r o b a b l e e r r o r . " —I). 0 . Hebb

Y o u h a v e a b a g conta in ing ninety-nine white marb le s and one red marb le . Every time that I t ake all of the m a r b l e s out of the b a g I will h a v e to take out the red marb le a l o n g with the rest. If 1 take the marb les out one at a time and a lways imme-diately put the s a m e m a r b l e back into the b a g and mix them up before d r a w i n g a n y other marble , I will d r a w out the red m a r b l e about one time in one-hundred draws . (Th i s does not mean that every one-hundreth marb le will be the red one. It does not even mean that the red m a r b l e will be d r a w n once in every one-hun-dred d rawings . )

IF I SAY "Nex t time I shall d r aw the red m a r b l e " and do so, you h a v e every r ight to be im-pressed. Perhaps impressed by. . . w^ho knows what? I do not need to d r aw the red marb le every time that 1 predict it. Even if on ly one out of two times, or three, or four , or one out of five, or even m o r e (but much less t h a n one out of one-hundred) , I ac-complish the feat of predicting m y d raw, you h a v e every rea-son to wonder how I m a n a g e it.

Some people do seem to be able to predict events such as the draw-ing of a specific marb le . (Th i s is somet imes called "clair-v o y a n c e " ) . Other people seem to be able to tell what another per-son is th ink ing even though they seem to have no way of com-munica t ing . (This is sometimes

J O H N A. BARLOW

called " t e l epa thy" ) . Dr. J. B. Rhine is par t i cu la r ly f a m o u s for his invest igat ions of such phe-nomena .

DR. R H I N E was t rained as a na tura l scientist and received his Ph.D. in b io logy f rom the Uni-versity of Chicago. At Duke Uni-versity for more than thirty yea r s he has studied cases in which there does not seem to be any hoax or slight of hand , yet in which people seem to know or to per-ceive th ings that they would be extremely lucky to be able to guess. In order to p u r s u e his studies, Dr. Rhine devised high-ly precise procedures and com-plicated controls and conducted exper iments to explore such oc-currences in his l a b o r a t o r y . His exp lana t ion for some of the un-usual events that he has observed and reported is that some people at least some of the time a re able to " r e a d m i n d s " or to perceive things in a m a n n e r that seems to be independent of the recognized channels of sensa t ion and percep-tion. He calls this " ex t r a - senso ry percept ion" (or " ESP") .

Popu la r prejudice in m o d e r n science predisposes m a n y scien-tists to quest ion either Rhine 's honesty and integrity, his pro-

fessional competence, or his pro-cedures. Some of these a t tacks in-dicate either lack of scientific com-petence b y the critic or a b la tan t bl ind-spot in the critic's view of science. For example , I respect B. R. Bugelski, Professor of Psy-co logy at the Univers i ty of Buf-falo, and I have used his b o o k , 'A First Course in Exper imenta l Psychology^ as a text. Yet in this textbook Bugelski says: . . .A t ruly controlled experiment elimi-nates all the fac tors except the exper imental var iab le . There is one crucial v a r i a b l e Rhine has not controlled, and that is the funct ion of chance itself. It is not enough , in an experiment , to show that some event h a p p e n s when a certain p h e n o m e n o n is present (in this case, an alleged ESP). It is also necessary to show that it cannot happen when the agency is absent . Rhine shou ld have dem-ons t ra ted that it would be impos-sible to get high scores by chance a lone over a r e a s o n a b l e per iod.

NONSENSE!!! In all control g r o u p exper imenta t ion the experi-mental report n o r m a l l y concludes the presenta t ion of results b y stat-ing the o d d s on the results obta in-ed occurr ing if chance a lone were responsible. When we s a y that a result is significant at the .01 level, this m e a n s that one time or less out of one-hundred would such a result be expected to occur by chance alone. (Th i s does not mean that ninety-nine per cent of the time such a result is not chance, but that, by chance alone, ninety-nine per cent of the time it would not h a p p e n . ) The chance factor is a lways present in such studies. Not just ESP experiments , but such experiments in b io logy , chemistry, physics , p sycho logy , and so forth!

I am impressed by Dr. Rhine 's p rocedures and by his f indings . 1 do not happen to accept his theoretical exp lana t ion for what he has found, but 1 do not know of a n y better exp lana t ion . I look f o r w a r d with interest to what he will have to say to us on October 12th.

American-Yugoslav Seminar

Students Trade Ideas Freely By Gretchen VanderWerf

As the two Hope College students pa r t i c ipa t ing in the GLCA Amer ican-Yugos lav Semi-na r , B a r b Timmer and I found ourselves involved in a t ruly unique internat ional exchange p r o g r a m . Together with sixteen other American students, we met with s tudents f rom the Universities of L j a b l j a n a , Z a g r e b and Nov i Sad to discuss the impact of in-dustr ia l izat ion on both the Ameri-can and Yugos lav societies.

The seminar p r o g r a m consisted of one week of t ravel through Yugos lav ia , one week of indepen-dent research, and two weeks of lecture sessions and discussions with Amer ican a n d Yugoslav pro-fessors.

T H E SPECIFIC TOPIC for one seminar session, for example, was " T h e Role of the Intellectual in the United States and in Yugo-s l a v i a . " Two professors -- one American and one Yugoslav --began the discussion by quizzing each other about the papers they had p rev ious ly written on this subject and which we had all read. Then we students were given the

oppor tun i ty to ask someques t ions of our own and, as usual , a lively debate ensued.

On this pa r t i cu la r day , we were especially concerned about intel-lectual f reedom and the right to dissent, with the Amer ican s tudents a sk ing about the impri-sonment of DjUas and Mihaj lov, and the Yugos lavs about the pre-sent oppos i t ion to the Vietnam War.

The freest exchange of ideas, however, took place dur ing the bull sessions in our do rmi to ry , long after the fo rma l discussion per iods had ended. In spite of the fact that most of the Yugos lav students were members of the League of Communis t s , we s o o n discovered that we had a lot in c o m m o n . Half of the Yugos lavs had spent the spr ing and ear ly s u m m e r s tudying, work ing and t r ave l ing in the United States. Mitja, for instance, had worked on the staff of the New York " T i m e s , " and Mart in had travel-ed all the way to Hawaii .

T H E GREATEST ba r r i e r to u n d e r s t a n d i n g was p r o b a b l y the misconcept ions which both t h e Yugos lav and American s tudents

had about each other. 1 was star-tled by some of the distorted views held by Sofka, m y r o o m m a t e . Sofka, who studies political sci-ence at the Universi ty of Ljubl-j a n a , actually believed that the United Stated had intervened on behalf of the Israelis d u r i n g the war in the Middle East. The rea-son for this intervention w a s clear to her: Washing ton wanted to t ake over the entire Middle East .

Before the semina r b e g a n , most of us Amer icans had tended to lump Yugos lav ia together with the other socialist countr ies of Eastern Europe. Yet we were con-t inual ly amazed at the relat ively l a rge degree of f reedom and open-ness which we found in Yugo-s lav ia .

Earlier in the s u m m e r I had spent five weeks in the Soviet Union, and in c o m p a r i s o n with the Russian students I met, my Yugoslav f r iends were fa r m o r e honest and ou t spoken abou t the merits and faul ts of their society. When I was in Zag reb , I was able to visit the s tudio of a pro-mis ing young Yugos lav painter . I r emember how excited I was to see that the walls were filled with' m o d e r n art as we k n o w it, and not the d r a b , m o n o t o n o u s "so-cialist r e a l i sm" that I h a d seen everywhere in the Soviet Union.

T H E O R E T I C A L A N D p h i l o s o phic discussions were on ly one aspect of the seminar . At night we would often get together for a p a r t y at Mit ja ' s house.

O n these occas ions , it u sua l ly wasn ' t long before a g u i t a r ap-pea red and we all joined in sing-ing Slovenian folk s o n g s , our a r m s locked t h r o u g h one ano-ther ' s , Yugos lav and Amer ican alike.

is m a k i n g it difficult for the small-er l iberal a r t s school to success-fully compe te in the marke t for new p ro fe s so r s . i n the humani t ies .

" I F YOU P U T figures on the n u m b e r of people receiving Ph.D. ' s in the human i t i e s a n d sci-ences, it's abou t 20 or 25 per cent h u m a n i s t s and 75 per cent scien-tists ," Dr. Keeney commented in the article.

" T h i s m e a n s obv ious ly tha t there a r en ' t g o i n g to be e n o u g h h igh ly qua l i f i ed people to teach u n d e r g r a d u a t e s in the h u m a n i -ties. And this a l r e a d y is p r o d u c i n g qui te a m a n p o w e r p rob lem. It's ve ry difficult now to find really-ab le y o u n g peop le , " he said.

This g e n e r a t i o n is unques t ion -ab ly e m p h a s i z i n g science, a n d H o p e College is a pa r t of this genera t ion . T h e a b u n d a n c e of y o u n g , v i b r a n t , involved talent ac ross the na t ion in science per-h a p s exp la ins in par t the excel-lence of the science t augh t here a n d the d r i v i n g qual i ty of the y o u n g men teach ing it.

B U T IS T H I S college, a s s o m e people believe, consc ious ly f a v o r -ing the science d e p a r t m e n t s over those in non-science a r e a s ?

President Ca lv in A. V a n d e r -W e r f s answer is an unqua l i f i ed no. He con tends that his first

concern is i m p r o v e m e n t and de-ve lopment in the humani t i e s de-p a r t m e n t s and that much of the seeming favor i t i sm to the scien-tists is s imply the result of indi-v i d u a l ' d r i v e a n d de te rmina t ion a m o n g the scientists.

Dean for Academic Affairs Wil-l iam V a n d e r Lugt agrees . " T h e r e is no consc ious lean ing t o w a r d the sc iences ," he said.

Most facul ty m e m b e r s interview-ed. bo th in the sciences and the arts , tended to ag ree with this j udgmen t .

"If there is a f avo r i t i sm on the pa r t of the Admin i s t r a t ion , it seems to me that it's in the oppo-site di rect ion -- f a v o r i n g the devel-opmen t of excellence in the social sciences," commen ted the chai r -m a n of one non-science depar t -ment.

While, however , it a p p e a r s that there is no consc ious f a v o r i n g of the sciences, it a l so seems that the scientists do work in m o r e f a v o r a b l e c i rcumstances .

T e a c h i n g load , the a r e a of most discontent , is a lmos t imposs ib le to s igni f icant ly c o m p a r e in the sciences and humani t i es . The Col-lege uses a sys tem based on to-t a l ing a facul ty m e m b e r ' s s tudent contact h o u r s , a n u m b e r which is ob t a ined by a d d i n g the to ta l n u m -

ber of h o u r s spent in c lass or l ab with each student .

U S I N G T H I S s ystem of s tudent contact h o u r s . Dean V a n d e r Lugt ' s r ecords do not indicate that the scientist h a s less t han an a v e r a g e teaching load . In fact, the Dean said that course l o a d s h a v e gone d o w n in s o m e a r e a s of the humani t i e s this year , whi le r ema in ing cons tan t in thesciences.

This system, however , does not b r i n g into account the different type of instruction. T h e p ro fe s so r in the sciences bu i lds up m a n y h o u r s of contact t h r o u g h the leng-thy lab per iods in b io logy , chem-istry, a n d phys ics classes. T h e scientist ha s l ab ass i s tan t s to assist with this t ime a n d does not c a r r y the b u r d e n of cons tan t lec tur ing d u r i n g all his contac t hour s . He c a n d rop in or out of his l ab as he wishes.

This me thod of m e a s u r i n g the faculty work load does not con-sider the extra time taken in a humani t i e s course in m a r k i n g es-say tests a n d lengthy research papers .

At the s a m e time, it a l so c a n n o t m e a s u r e the a d v a n t a g e a v a i l a b l e to a h u m a n i s t in the fact that he can express ideas, which all in ea r sho t m a y c o m p r e h e n d , while a scientist, who of ten deals with

me thods and ind iv idua l experi-ments , must often d e m o n s t r a t e these p r o c e d u r e s on a sma l l g r o u p or ind iv idua l basis .

D E S P I T E T H E difficulty of an-a lyz ing the s i tua t ion , it does ap-pear that thefacu l ty m e m b e r in the sciences usua l ly teaches fewer classes each week t han his coun-t e r ' art in the humani t i e s . There seei. s s o m e just i f icat ion in the h u m a n i s t s ' content ion that they must devote m o r e t ime to their courses , a n d consequen t ly h a v e a m o r e difficult t ime keeping up with the p r o g r e s s in their field a n d f inding t ime for research.

Like cou r se load , facilities in the two a r e a s a r e a lmos t impos-sible to c o m p a r e . More n u m e r o u s a n d m o r e expensive equ ipment is, of course , found in the sciences. T h a t is inherent in the n a t u r e of the difference of the two a reas . Physical needs of the h u m a n i s t s a r e mos t ly limited to a desire for m o r e b o o k s and better research facilities in the l i b r a ry .

Other fac tors a re a l so difficult to assess .

While the College establ ishes a geo logy depa r tmen t , it a l so great-ly e x p a n d s the ar t depa r tmen t .

At the s a m e time tha t science facul ty a r e a w a r d e d g o v e r n m e n t g r a n t s for s u m m e r research , the

College p rov ides g r a n t s for rt^ sea rch p r i m a r i l y to humanis t s .

I N B R I E F , evidence seems to indicate that science at Hope Col-lege is not consc ious ly f a v o r e d by the Admin i s t r a t ion , a l t h o u g h sci-ence faculty m e m b e r s en joy an easier course l oad t han s o m e of the facul ty in the ar ts .

The d o m i n a n c e of science in the Col lege 's r epu ta t ion and the ex-cellence of ins t ruct ion in the sci-ences on c a m p u s can be t raced, in pa r t , to the na t iona l e m p h a -sis on the i m p o r t a n c e of an excel-lent science p r o g r a m to meet the p r o b l e m s of the m o d e r n age.

This d o m i n a n c e is not a tangi-ble force; it is a n in tang ib le sci-

entific d o m i n a n c e by example . Whether this is heal thy or un-hea l thy is a mat ter of p e r s o n a l op in ion .

The re la t ionsh ip between science a n d the h u m a n i t i e s is a p roduc t of the ou ts ide influences e m p h a -sizing science and the desire on c a m p u s to present an intellectually wel l - rounded g r a d u a t e to the world.

The synthes is of these two forces is the key to the re la t ionsh ip and the concern of bo th the nega t ive a n d posi t ive critics of H o p e Col-lege science.

Wheaton Whips Hope, 12 • 0; Defence is Stingy Again

By Mike O'Riordan

Blocking, tackling and scor ing are three essentials in the winning of a footbal l game. Hope ' s F ly ing Dutchmen executed only one of these essentials well, and thus lost to Wheaton College by the score of 12-0.

Once a g a i n the y o u n g defensive team, minus three-year veteran Ken Feit, p layed hard-hi t t ing foot-ball, tackled well, and intercepted three passes. But it was punt ing problems on the offense that allow-ed both of Wheaton's touchdowns.

First, the Crusaders capitalized on a blocked punt midway th rough the first period and scor-ed. Then in the last two minutes of the game, a Hope punt of only 16 y a r d s g a v e Wheaton posit ion deep in Dutch terri tory. F rom here, senior David Car l son carri-ed the pigskin the last 13 y a r d s for the score.

There were bright spots in Hope 's defensive play. Harold Workman , a s o p h o m o r e f rom Muskegon, intercepted a pa s s on the C r u s a d e r ' s first series of downs. Dick Holm an, a veteran safety f rom Coopersville, picked off two passes , one resulting in Hope 's deepest penetra t ion into Wheaton terri tory, the 26-yard line.

The offensive team didn't quite match this defensive effort. This was due main ly to ineffective blocking by the interior offensive line, and also to thefact that Whea-ton's defense was " k e y i n g " on qua r t e rback G a r y F rens and half-back Keith Abel. With Frens and Abel unab le to p r o d u c e their aver-age, the Hope offense was stymied. The Dutchmen finished with 115 y a r d s rushing, while only one pass complet ion in seven at tempts netted 15 yards .

Quar te rback Frens was stymied on his pet roll-out p a s s p lay by three to four C r u s a d e r s at a time. 1 his fai lure to create a p a s s i n g

offense to counter the keying of 1* rens and Abel was p r imar i ly responsible for Hope ' s second loss of the season.

Wheaton, meanwhile , g r o u n d out 212 y a r d s on the g r o u n d and passed for 12 more. G a m e rush ing hono r s went to Wheaton 's H a r r y Zinser, a jun ior f r o m Flint, with 1 13 y a r d s in 1 7 carr ies , including one run of 42 y a r d s . Abel led Hope 's rushers with 80 y a r d s in 24 carries.

Hope launches MIAA action next S a t u r d a y a f t e rnoon with a trip to Alma, a team who has been unbeaten in three non- league games .

Hope Will Open League Competition at Alma Sat.

By Bob Vanderberg

Hope College's footbal l team travels to Alma for the MIAA opener tomor row, fac ing the pro-babili ty of yet another shut-out.

The Scots, coached by Dennis Stoltz, have compiled a perfect 3-0 record in non-conference games this season. Alter whipping Michigan Tech, 25-13, and Bluff-ton, 33-7, Alma snapped Defiance College's 13-game winning streak to the tune of 34-3.

Mr. Stoltz, now in his third year at the helm at Alma, is resting his hopes for an MIAA title on the fact he h a s 26 re turn ing letter-man. Also, he has an all-confer-ence qua r t e rback in s o p h o m o r e Tom J a k o v a c to lead the offense. In the Defiance g a m e , J a k o v a c threw two touchdown passes and returned a kickoff 94 ya rds for another TD.

The Flying Dutchmen have a 21-17-2 record th rough the years in competi t ion with Alma. But the sad truth is beginning to emerge r ega rd ing this year ' s edition of the Orange and Blue.

It seems that the Dutch are doomed to defeat every time they p lay on the road . Alma beat Hope 13-6 at Alma last season, and that was when the Dutch had a super ior offense, led by Charl ie Lang land . The other MIAA r o a d opponent in 1967 is Olivet, who shut-out the Dutch 18-0 last sea-son.

Hal fback Keith Abel, as was predicted three weeks a g o on this page , has become a one-man of-fense. Averag ing 21 carr ies and

almost 90 y a r d s a game , Abel is truly the work ho r se of the of-fensive team.

Qua r t e rback G a r y Frens com-pleted only one of six passes agains t Wheaton last week, g iving him 10 of 2 6 this season.

Defensively, the Dutchmen have been quite stingy. However, if you can't put the ball over the goal-line, you ' r e go ing to have t rouble winning.

'Mavhe Next Time'

Earlham, Calvin Beat Dutchmen "Well boys, m a y b e next t ime."

Soccer coach Philip Van Eyl has used that p h r a s e a lot in the last two seasons. Next time was almost accomplished this week as Hope ' s booters lost two " b y inches" con-tests agains t E a r l h a m and Calvin Colleges.

The E a r l h a m match could very well h a v e been the best g a m e Hope has p layed since Hope first fielded a vars i ty team three years ago. E a r l h a m , co -champions in the Michigan-Indiana- I l l ino is league of which Hope is a mem-ber, found themselves in a dif-ferent posit ion f rom last year ' s 6-0 fiasco.

The end of t he regu la r four qua r -ters of p lay found the teams in

a scoreless s talemate. The seri-ousness of this s i tuat ion is not to be under-est imated. Hope, with goal ie Louis Lotz seeing only his second qua r t e r of vars i ty p lay , had to try to con ta in the explo-sive E a r l h a m at tack for another 10 minutes.

Then with four minutes gone in this overtime, E a r l h a m m a n a g e d to place a tally in Hope 's nets ending the single most impressive g a m e of Hope 's short vars i ty ca-reer.

Hope ' s second loss m a y have hurt even more, for it came at the h a n d s of Calvin. For three successive years , Hope has been able to cap tu re the first contest

of the two a n n u a l contests. This is a lways the decision which is not counted in t h e l e a g u e s t a n d i n g .

The second g a m e of the set has a lways been a different s tory. This year p roved to be no different. Injuries to A1 Griswuld and Man-uel Cuba put a definite cr imp in Hope ' s p lan . In an exception-ally dirty g a m e in which the ref-erees tried futilly to stop n u m e r o u s tights, goa l s by Cuba and f r e s h m a n Jim Davis werecounter-ed by three by the Knights .

The Booters now must p l a y Wheaton tomor row. The Cru-saders were co -champions of the Mi l League a long with E a r l h a m .

"Well boys , m a y b e next t ime."
