V Challenging experience Working in the whirl of D.C. VOLUME 89 - ISSUE NO. 11 DECEMBER 3,1976 Special ed. certified The Hope education department has received authorization to offer teacher certification in the special education areas of learning disabil- ities and the emotionally impaired. STUDENTS completing the degree programs will be certifi- cated in special education in grades kindergarten through 12th as well as being Qualified to teach in the regular elementary class- room. Hope is the only MIAA college to offer a special education program and is one of only two private institutions in Michigan to provide certification in as many as two areas. "WE ARE delighted that the State Board of Education has approved our programs in this important area," said Dr. James Bultman, chairman of Hope's education department. "It is a tribute to the institution, to those who have developed the proposals, and to the human and material resources of the local and intermediate school districts. It is our hope that we can continue to cooperate with area personnel in the staffing and supervision of this program as we strive to integrate theory with practice." The Hope's education depart- ment has for many years believed in the practice of utilizing the expertise of local school personnel in the teaching of several campus courses. HOPE WILL certify six special education teachers this Spring with an anticipated annual certifi- cation of approximately 10. "We do not desire nor are we equipped to mass produce teachers in this special field," stated Bultman. "It is rather our intent to provide an opportunity for some uniquely qualified individuals to make an important contribution in an expanding field." Brav to play the Pit SAC has scheduled a truly unique act for presentation in the Pit this weekend. Arne Brav from Cincinnati, Ohio, will be perform- ing both Friday and Saturday nights beginning at 9 p.m. ARNE DESCRIBES his act as "acoustic entertainment." Even though this more or less implies a folksy atmosphere, "acoustic en- tertainment" doesn't include many folk songs. But it does include just about everything else; blues, ballads, ragtimes, jazz, contempor- ary and original songs, plus a warehouse of genuinely funny songs. Audience involvement is a key ingredient of Arne's act. Arne's goal includes just one purpose: To entertain in such a fashion that when people leave at the end of a performance, they can honestly say they had a good time. by Jen Cunningham Internships experienced by stu- dents participating in the Wash- ington Honors Semester can involve a great deal more challenges and responsibilities than stuffing envelopes and answering telephone calls. This is demonstrated by the experience of three of last semester's students; Jerry Giermann, Kathi Machle, and Gary Kirchner. GIERMANN FOUND this to be the case in both of his six week internships. The work in his first one, with Congressman Philip Ruppe was comprised of answer- ing constituents' mail on such topics as gun control or child molesting as well as researching background material on the bill against dumping tackinite filings in Lake Superior. Giermann also wrote press releases for radio and newspapers and at times would hear his original copy being read over the air. In response to a question about his experience in relation to a future career interest, Giermann said, "this is the kind of job I want for the future." GIERMANN S SECOND intern ship with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, a major business lobby group, demanded concentrated research on guidelines for mem- bers of the business community to help state and local governments cope with the fiscal crisis. After examining literature and interviewing interest groups from both the business community and the government, Giermann pre- pared a 21 page paper on the topic to be sent to state and local Chambers of Commerce. RATHER THAN proposing a "negative view on how to limit government," Giermann focused on guidelines for businessmen to help state and local governments run more efficiently and thus help fight the urban crisis. "If the government begins to falter, services break down," Giermann said. "Business has the tools, resources and vested inter- est" to improve a community rather than move out of it. Besides, "moving your business around is expensive." WHEN ASKED if total immer- sion in one area during his internship was beneficial, Gier- mann said that it was a "real advantage" to come out of the internship with a thorough know- ledge of one area. Gary Kirchner, who worked for the Morris Udall campaign as a radio feed operator, found that he "enjoyed politics and organizing a campaign effectively and efficient- ly." At first, his duties consisted of stuffing envelopes and other clerical work, but later he was able to use his knowledge in the communications area. BASICALLY, the radio feed operator records the candidate's views on an issue and selects and edits out 30 second news bites for use in radio stations. The operator then either calls a state radio feed operator or a radio station and tells them that he has news material. The job also involved covering Morris Udall when he was in town. Toward the end of his intern- ship, Kirchner was hired as a full-time staffer and during the last month, he was placed in charge of the entire radio feed operation since his supervisor, Bill Christianson, was out of town. KIRCHNER WAS able to meet many "key people" in both the news media and the political arena. He took a two-hour trip to Philadelphia on several occasions. On one trip, the passengers consisted solely of Mo Udall, the trip director, and Kirchner. Kirchner met Julien Bond and Shirley Chisholm on that campaign trip which centered on the black community in Philadelphia. Kirch- ner also spent two weeks at ABC News to observe their operation and met Howard K. Smith and Harrv Reasoner. THE INTERNSHIP provided experience in "the best of both worlds", that of "the news media and of politicians," Kirchner said. "I have a more realistic view of how things are done in Washing- ton...Politicians really want to do something, but also want to stay in office." They are subject to "a multitude of influences." Kathi Machle spent her first internship working for Senator Mark Hatfield. "He demonstrates what a Christian politician really is. Anything he says, he stands for," she said. Among other responsibilities, Machle research- ed and wrote a four-page paper on the problems of old people to be sent to constituents. The paper was approved and sent off with virtually no changes made. MACHLE SPENT her second internship working with Sojour- ner's Magazine which combines "conservative evangelicism" with a "liberal political ideology." The associate editor ol tne magazine, Wes Michaelson, was formerly an assistant of Hatfields and is a Hope alumnus. While working with the staff. Machle stated that she met "Christians who affirm liberal politics and women's liberation." She met members ol the Evangeli- cal Women's Caucus which is comprised of "women not finding self-expression teaching Sunday school or baking cookies." THE GROUP expresses the idea that "Christ calls on people to be total human beings and liberates you from your woman's role in the church." The magazine staff members place an emphasis on "equality, fellowship with the poor and living as simply as possible." Part of the staff lives communally in two adjacent houses in a "lifestyle as outlined in the Acts of the early Christians." This involves "finding legal council" for people who need it and "tutoring and teaching neighborhood children." THE MAGAZINE examines such issues as a Christian stance .»n •orfnro in md defense spending. Machle's work for the magazine consisted largely of secretarial work and editing as well as "a phenomonal amount of listening." Machle said that the internship was emotionally de- velopmental rather than vocation- ally developmental. The Washington Honors Semes- ter is an interdisciplinary kind of program which attracts students in the sciences as well as those in the humanities. More than half of the students involved in the program are non-political science majors. MOST STUDENTS work for a Congressman or Senator in the course of their first internship and then move to another area during their second internship although there are many exceptions. Stu- dents work for eight hours per day on a non-pay basis in order to gain a feeling for the organization in which they work. Internships for the second semester of this year includes workmg for the General Account- ing Office where the student is paid, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Senators Stevens (Al- aska) and Hatfield (Oregon) and the State Department, as well as the Supreme Court. Numerous opportunities are available for students in the sciences. Last semester, a student worked for the National Association for the Advancement of Sciences. At the termination of her internship, she was offered a position with the National Academy of Sciences. AT THE PROGRAM S begin ning in January and after each internship period, there is a one to two week session devoted to inter- viewing such governmental agen- cies and interest groups as the National Rifle Association, inter- est groups in favor of controlling hand guns, the Environmental Protection Agency and Govern- mental agencies concerning the Media, Consumers, Agriculture, Housing and Transportation.

Internships experienced by stu-dents participating in the Wash-ing ton H o n o r s S e m e s t e r can involve a g r e a t deal more c h a l l e n g e s and r e spons ib i l i t i e s t h a n s t u f f i n g e n v e l o p e s and answering telephone calls. This is demonstrated by the experience of th ree of last semester 's students; J e r r y G i e r m a n n , K a t h i Machle , and Gary Kirchner.

Washington internship.... (Continued from page 1)

One of the most beautiful events that I have a t tended in my three and a half years at Hope College has b e e n t h e a n n u a l C h r i s t m a s Vespers Service. Last year I had the joy of being able to part icipate to a g rea te r degree in the service because I was in one of the choirs. Vespers always leaves me with a f e e l i n g of joy and c o m m u n i t y . Each y e a r I look f o r w a r d to Vespers as a reminder of the t rue essense of the Chris tmas Season.

Vespers will be different this year . As a result of the problems with t icket distribution, tne music depa r tmen t decided to charge for t ickets. Because of the decision I feel t h a t something happened to alter t h e spirit of Vespers. It won't be simply a service of praise and worship, but a new element has been added - it will be an event w h e r e peop le will h a v e t o pay money to worship, and to "see" us perform.

What is so ironical is tha t while I 've been at Hope I've been to many activities t ree of charge -spor ts events , concerts, lectures given by famous people. This year the Hope community will have to pay if they want to en ter into this u n i q u e C h r i s t m a s e x p e r i e n c e . T h e y will be p a y i n g to go to church! This just doesn't sound right to me; I a t tend a college which is church affiliated, where the s tuden ts and faculty have to pay for a spiritual experience.

On the other side of the issue, as many of you might be aware, in the past few years the re have been many problems with distribution of t ickets - the main one being tha t t h e r e j u s t a r e n ' t e n o u g h to go around. The going belief is tha t if people have to pay for t ickets they aren' t as likely to get ext ra ones that they will not use. Consequent-ly, o ther people will be able to purchase those t ickets.

Realistically, this makes sense.

However, I would like to think tha t the re are be t t e r and more e f f i c i e n t w a y s of d i s t r i b u t i n g tickets, without having to charge. Maybe if the number of unused t ickets is the problem they could make more t ickets. (This does not a p p e a r to be t h e c a s e t h o u g h because the Chapel is usually very full each Service.) Maybe there ' s a be t t e r way to limit the number of t ickets per person as it is done for graduation, or limit the size of o u t s i d e g r o u p s . W h a t e v e r t h e answer may be, it seems tha t with all the capable people at Hope, someone should be able to produce a c o u r s e of ac t i on t h a t would adequately deal with the ticket problems. At least when it's f ree more people, who might otherwise miss the message of Christmas, might take advantage of worship.

I t ' s poss ib le t h a t t h e r e is no o t h e r a n s w e r to so lve t h e

Ms. V a n d e r l a a n ' s a r t i c l e on Fewer Women in Hope Faculty Roles is a c lass ic e x a m p l e ol non-factual, false assumption and incompetent invest igat ive report-ing.

"There is only one woman in a number of fields, mainly in the s c i e n c e s and l a n g u a g e s , " she boldly affirms. Had Ms. Vander-laan taken a closer look (or a look a t al l , for t h a t m a t t e r ) , a t t h e Depar tment of Foreign Languages and Li tera tures , she would have seen the "error of her ways." The DFLL counts no fewer than seven women on its staff -3 part-time and 4 fu l l - t ime ( t h r e e of whom a r e tenured).

As A c t i n g C h a i r m a n I am g r a t e f u l for , and p r o u d of, t h e

problems tha t the music depart-ment has had with t ickets in the p a s t . H o w e v e r , I t h i n k as a Christian college campus we have s e t t l e d for s o m e t h i n g less t h a n what our integrity demands if we do not insist tha t some different course of action is at least tr ied. If we don't I 'm afraid our Chris tmas Vespers, which has always been a s p i r i t u a l g a t h e r i n g of H o p e ' s peop le wi th t h e c o m m u n i t y to celebrate the Chr is tmas Season, may merely become another event in our o f t e n c o m m e r c i a l l ives , where we pay to be performed for. At least Vespers will become tha t for me.

Bermuda Triangle: goo-goo eyed and tonguing by Tom Allbaugh

As t h e r e a r e m a n y t y p e s of peop le w a l k i n g in t h e s t r e e t s ( o u t s i d e Ho l l and , of c o u r s e ) , so t h e r e a r e d i v e r s e s t y l e s and s o u n d s in t h e mus i ca l w o r l d . N o v e l t y and u n i q u e n e s s a r e q u a l i t i e s looked for in a r t i s t s . However, the superficial differen-ces in appearance and gimmick are o f t e n n o t i c e d and a p p r e c i a t e d above the content of the music.

THIS B E S T e x p l a i n s t h e re-a p p e a r a n c e of " B e r m u d a T r i a n -gle," an off beat non-commercial b a n d f r o m N e w Y o r k . T h o u g h their performance was t ight, their sound full, it was thei r individual-ity, their doing "what we haven' t seen a band do before" tha t turned on the audience.

This is both good and bad. It is good to be creative, to innovate, show class and pizazz. An audience

TUXES NOT NECESSARY!

ELSE ASKS YOU!

(It can go both ways you know.)

e x p e c t s to be e n t e r t a i n e d , and hear different voices come from d i f f e r e n t peop le . On t h e o t h e r hand, it is bad to have the beauty of the music (or noise) overlooked because "this group is weird."

A N D T H E R E w a s b e a u t y . There was intensity. And consi-der ing the "Triangle 's" instrumen-tal limitations (bass, drums, violin, autoharp, organ and kazoo), there was some variety. The autoharp best characterized thei r sound, tingling behind the soft soprano voice of the lead vocalist.

Their song "My love is the wind, who knows the wind" brought out the richness of the organ, bass, and voice harmony. At t imes this c o m b i n a t i o n s o u n d e d l ike t h e "Jef ferson Starship," perhaps be-cause the female harmonies resem-bled Grace Slick in tone.

T H E R E W E R E a l so s o m e problems with their a r rangement .

T h e a u t o h a r p is not a solo ins t rument , except on r a r e occa-sions; the continued use of it wore out its novelty. Hobbit-sized Sam on the electric violin did some good d a n c i n g , b u t he r f i dd l ing d i d n ' t seem to s tep beyond the range of six notes.

At any rate , their rendit ions of " N i g h t s in W h i t e S a t i n " and "Dream On" sparkled with origini-nality and (in this reviewer ' s opin-ion) were be t te r performed than by the original ar t is ts .

A N D T H E N t h e r e w a s t h e kazoo. Oh, wel l . Al ice Coope r

played with a boa constrictor and peed on his l isteners, and Kiss had fire blast out of their s tage. So now - " that goon who has been googoo e y e i n g and t o n g u e i n g a t us is going to pass out kazoos." The forest of the Pit came alive with hoots and howls. I t ' s t ime to have fun. "This is what we came for."

In s u m m a r y , t h e n , B e r m u d a T r i a n g l e ' s kazoo c l imax , in fac t their popularity in this communi-ty, point out two characterist ics in p e o p l e . T h e a p p r e c i a t i o n of t h e silliest par t of thei r act shows the boredom in which we allow our-selves to live, apathetically, day af te r day.

Smith orchestrates dynamic rest David Smith- Greenwood, prof-

essor of sculpture and ceramics, will be producing a dance/sculp-ture event in the Pit on December 8. There will be three perform-ances at 7 p.m., 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. This e v e n t e n t i t l e d " A v a l a (Za Olgu)" has been funded by the Cultural Affairs Committee and involves s tudents from the depart-ments of music, theat re , ar t and dance. It is based on an experience the art is t had in Yugoslavia while on a Fulbri^ht Research Abroad Grant.

SMITH GREENWOOD recent-

ly produced a process sculpture at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. The sculpture, entitled CandleClay was produced as p a r t of the 'iOth Show -A Performance Event . Artists from various colleges and universities w e r e inv i t ed to c r e a t e e v e n t s o r i g i n a t i n g in music , dance , sculpture or film media.

His i n t e r e s t in mul t i -med ia "happenings" is rooted in a curious and u n c o n v e n t i o n a l s t a t e cal led " d y n a m i c r e s t " which he eluci-dates in a s ta tement released after the CandleClay production:

SMITH'S PROCESS SCULPTURE (PERFORMED AT CWRU)

ENTITLED "CANDLECLAY".

"I AM i n t e r e s t e d in d y n a m i c r e s t . When one accompl i shes a s la te of rest, the dynamism of all a r o u n d him is a s t o u n d i n g . T h e cells of the living, the atoms of the unliving vibrate and signal with new clarity.

"By constructing situations of active rest , and through the use of rhythmic motion, the animism of the inanimate reveals itself. There are no elements which are static, stationary or stagnant. A chair has moved, and, while it appears to be unmoving, is in a constant state of about-to-move.

I AM INTERESTED therefore in both forms of inertia, and focus on that moment when one becomes the other. The monumentality of these tiny occurences can best be w i t n e s s e d f rom a posi t ion of emptiness and rest. An accurate a s s e s s m e n t of a v iolent act ion cannot be integrated while partici-pating in that violent action.

"I am interested in agressive passivity (or passive agression?), in effectively changing one's actual environment and/or one's percep-tion of that environment through controlled sub-activity. Sub-acti-vi ty inc ludes t h o s e m o v e m e n t s which follow t h e pa th of l eas t r e s i s t a n c e ; which flow b e t w e e n the intended and the at tempted; the desire and the struggle.

"EACH BEING and each object has i ts v o c a b u l a r y of " m o s t natural" movements or non-move-ments. (A herd of cattle grazing, a flock of flamingoes eating, a group of farm laborers picking, a case of beer bottles waiting; each indivi-dual within its group has the same task and the same mechanism with which to perform it. Unintended rhythms and uncalculated symme-tries result.) I am interested in

orchestrat ing these and structur-ing the ways in which they are presented to the senses. Crafts-manship and visual experience are still c e n t r a l . "If this s t a t e m e n t seems like a word game, you are not at rest ."

Hope Hoopers lose three hearlbreakers by Doug Irons

The Hope basketball team took it on the chin over the Thanksgiv-ing break, losing close games to E g y p t , I l l inois B e n e d i c t i n e and Tavlor.

OF T H E E g y p t game , Coach

Russ DeVette said, UI thought it was a really good game. They had very good individuals, but didn't play well as a team, which is why we were in it. They had some g r e a t ind iv idua l e f f o r t s ; t h e y blocked eight of our shots, which may have been the difference."

" W e d i d n ' t feel badly a b o u t losing ( the Dutch bowed 81-84 af ter leading 41-31 at the half), but we felt we could have won it." Subst i tute Bruce VandersChaaf lead Hope scoring with 18 points.

and Taylor games were part of the W h e a t o n t o u r n a m e n t . A g a i n s t Illinois Benedictine, the eventual winners of the tournament , the Dutch lost by only four points, 96-92, t h e s a m e m a r g i n t h a t Illinois defeated Wheaton by in the tourney finals.

Chris "Airball" Peterson lead Hope in scoring in that game with 28 po in t s , fol lowed by J im Holwerda with 22, Scott Peterson with 12 markers and Jack Hunt with 10.

"WE CAME within one point three t imes in the second half, but just couldn't pick it up from there. They made two free throws at the end to make it a four point win, instead of two," DeVet te said.

The Tay lo r g a m e was a depressingly similar story. Hope was behind 40-44 at the half, but came back to tie the game several times in the second half, (as late as

the 60's) finally falling back for good half-way through the second half.

REFLECTING ON these games loser Coach DeVet te felt that the team shot fairly well both nights, averaging 45-46 percent of their shots from the field, but turnovers w e r e p robab ly t h e t h i n g most responsible for the difference.

"From here on, when we're in that position to win or lose, we have to win," DeVet te asserted. "With Illinois Benedictine, it was 71-70 at one point. Three times we pulled within one. We just couldn't take control, and move into the lead.

IT'S GOT to be psychological. At least now we have a little bit better idea of where we're going, what we're doing. Three of our next four games are at home, and I th ink we can b e a t Concord ia away." Things could be looking up.
