Foundation Gives Hope $375,000 Grant Hope College h a s been awarded

a $ 3 7 5 , 0 0 0 g ran t by the Alfred P. Sloan F o u n d a t i o n as pa r t of a p r o g r a m seeking to stem the de-cline of science educat ion in the na t ion ' s small l iberal arts col-leges.

Hope is one of 20 colleges nam-ed to share $7.5 million in g ran t s r a n g i n g f r o m $ 2 5 0 , 0 0 0 t o $500 ,000 . President Calvin Van-derWerf flew to New York this week to accept Hope 's gran t .

IN A N N O U N C I N G the g ran t s , the founda t ion pointed out that small liberal arts colleges are los-ing m a n y of their prospective sci-

ence m a j o r s to l a rge r universities. The founda t ion is seeking to

initiate p r o g r a m s at each of the recipient colleges which would im-prove sciencecurr iculums and fac-ulty, and thus " d e m o n s t r a t e means by which other colleges may improve theirs ." Xone of the money is to be used for build-ings.

M R. E V E R E T T C A S E , the founda t ion ' s president, s t r e s s e d that the decline in science edu-cation in the smal ler colleges is par t icular ly ser ious because near-ly half of all the high school sci-ence teachers are educated in them.

Thus, inferior science educat ion at these institutions would lead to depressed science educat ion in the na t ion ' s school system.

Mr. Case a l so cited the separa -tion between the sciences and the humanit ies which exists in col-leges that t rad i t ional ly are dedi-cated to the ar ts and sciences. He also pointed to the high ra t io of small college g r a d u a t e s who ea rn the Ph.D. degree.

EACH C O L L E G E submitted a p roposa l showing how it would ca r ry out a p r o g r a m at tempting to realize the goa l s expressed by the founda t ion . Only institutions

without g r a d u a t e p r o g r a m s were considered.

Dr. N o r m a n Nor ton , c h a i r m a n of the faculty committee which p repa red Hope 's p r o p o s a l , out-lined the p lans for improvement of the science p r o g r a m at Hope. Of m a j o r impor tance , he said, i a new interdiscipl inary studies p r o g r a m involving the physics, chemistry, biology and math de-par tments .

R E P R E S E N T I N G T H E S E de par tments on the committee will be Dr. Har ry Frissel, Dr. Krwin Brink, Dr. Douglas Nor ton , and Dr. .lay Folkert.

This p r o g r a m will include a section for science m a j o r s , a basic-cur r icu lum for non-science m a j o r s and an improved secondary edu-cat ion curr icu lum. Dr. Nor ton ex-pressed en thus iasm with the possi-bilities of the p r o g r a m and its wide and long r ange scope.

AMONG T H E O T H E R c o l l e g e s receiving a w a r d s were Antioch College, K a l a m a z o o College and Oberlin College, all members of the C.reat Lakes Colleges Asso-ciation. Other highly rated schools receiving g ran t s were Haver fo rd C o l l e g e , Mt. Holyoke College, Smith College and Washington and Lee t 'n ivers i ty .

Rentier Will Present Recital Tuesday Morning

Next Tuesday at 10:30 a .m. pianist David Kenner will present a recital in Dimnent Memorial Chapel . This will be an all-college

assembly for which classes will be dismissed.

The p r o g r a m will include a Son-ata by Beethoven, Op. 101, and " S y m p h o n i c F tudes" by Schu-ma nn.

Mr. Kenner received his bache-lor of music, master of music, the per former ' s certificate, and the artist d ip loma in p i ano perform-ance f rom Fas te rn College. In 1962 he received a F u 1 b r i g h t ( i rant for two yea r s ' s tudy at the Hochschule fur Musik in Munich, d e r m a n y , with professor Frie-drich Wuhrer.

In 1963 he studied with Pro-fessor Curt Neumuller at the Mo-zarteum in Sa lzburg , Austria.

Alumnus A. J. Muste;

Still Active Pacifist at 82 By Tom Hi ldebrandt

The p laque on the wall describes him well: "Presented to A..I. Muste -- Disturber, Cata lys t and Stimu-la tor of the Peace Movement, Pio-neer F x t r a o r d i n a r y . "

Despite the fact that he is 82 years old, Kev. A b r a h a m Johan -nes Muste is now in Hanoi , Nor th Vietnam, t ry ing to show the Viet-namese people that " there a r e a l so Americans who have great doubts abou t the w a r and want it s topped ."

REV. M U S T E , b o r n in the Ne-ther lands, was g r a d u a t e d f rom Hope College in 1905 a n d ea rned his B.D. f rom I ' n ion Seminary in 1913. Ordained as a minister of the Reformed Church in America, he began his work of pacifism in 1916 by jo in ing the Fellowship of Reconciliation, a non-denomina-tional g r o u p of which he is now secretary emeritus.

The last 50 years have seen him go m a n y places and b r a v e m a n y dange r s for his cause. He pro-tested aga ins t nuclear testing in Moscow's Red Square , aga ins t the war in Vietnam on the White House lawn, a n d aga ins t the a r m s race in New York City.

He has been arrested for climb-ing over a ba rbed-wi re fence into a United States missile base a n d chased f rom a press conference in Saigon by eggs, tomatoes and curses hurled by a n g r y Vietna-mese students.

HE S T I L L R E M A I N S active in the driVe for peace on earth. Beside his assoc ia t ion with the Fellowship of Reconciliation, he is c h a i r m a n of the Committee for Nonviolent Action a n d c h a i r m a n on the editorial b o a r d of Libera-tion magaz ine .

His office vividly illustrates the na tu re of his work . Almost super-imposed on a smal l office bu i ld ing in midtown M a n h a t t a n , the large , par t ia l ly subdivided r o o m is the home of the Student Peace Union ,

REV. A. J. MUSTE

t h e War Registers League, t h e Catholic Peace l-'ellowship and the Teachers Committee for Peace in Vietnam.

LOOSE PAPERS ARE strewn on the bookshelves , and the b a r e wood floor is cluttered with boxes p a c k e d with books . Unkempt , bearded y o u n g workers sit on b roken chairs . The walls a re wall-p a p e r e d with posters read ing : " S t o p U.S. Dirty War in Viet-n a m , " "Mr. J o h n s o n Didn't Ask Us!" and "Blessed are the Peace-m a k e r s . "

The last s logan is the gu id ing principle of Rev. Muste ' swork . He worked with Trotskyites d u r i n g the Depression, but was not poli-tically swayed by them. "1 have no ideo logy ," he said. "My gen-eral or ientat ion is in pa r t socialist , but I be long to no pa r ty and p a y no dues. I am a pacif ist ."

HIS S T A N D A G A I N S T the Vi-e tnam war is in pa r t rel igious. " I cannot reconcile it with the Sermon on the Mount o r the idea

of re turning good for evil, and 1 cannot see the bas is for the line people d raw between individual and collective action, s a y i n g that a m o r a l code is val id on one side and not on the o the r . "

On the basis of what he observed in Vietnam, he a l so feels that the Vietnamese people want to stop the w a r now. " F v e r y b o d y is sick of war . They have no ideological interest. They just want to live." He expressed the belief that the Viet Cong feel the s a m e way.

H E G A V E E X A M P L E S of where Amer ican r ea son ing in re-ga rd to Vietnam is wrong. First, the U.S. feels that it should pro-tect the count ry f r o m the C o m m u -nists. "But w h y , " he asks , " shou ld we decide to wha t they shou ld be exposed? The Communis t Viet-cong a re the nat ives while the Americans a re the foreigners . We have no right to push them ou t . "

His solut ion is for the United States to wi thdraw its suppor t f rom the Ky regime, a mili tary dictatorship dependent on U.S. suppor t which does not accurately represent the Vietnamese people, he said, and negotiate a peace settlement with the Nat iona l Liber-ation Front .

REV. M U S T E DOES N O T feel that a coal i t ion formed in this way would be Communis t con-trolled. " T h e people would be s t rongly behind the non -Commu-nist faction because it b rough t peace where neither the Viet Cong nor the I nited States cou ld . "

liev. Muste's advice to the youth of today would be to follow the pa th of pacif ism he has walked. He refused to register for the draf t d u r i n g World War 1, for which he was not prosecuted. He pointed to the s tatus of conscienscious objector as a m o v e the student should make .

Before work was begun, how-ever, the committee delayed action on recommendat ions by MissJan-tina Hol leman and the Student Life Committee r ega rd ing Sunday activities on campus because the c o m m i t t e e members felt them-selves unprepa red to discuss the issue fully. Wes Michaelson re-commended that a subcommittee be appointed to s tudy Sunday activities. This was approved .

ALSO T A B L E D was a request by Dr. John Barlow, b rough t to the committee by Rev. William C. Hillegonds, that meetings con-ducted in the m a n n e r of t h e Fr iends be permitted in the chapel basement . The consistency of Qua-ker worship in a Reformed Church institution and the opin ion held by a few members that Quaker-ism is "outs ide Protestant Chris-t ian i ty" was b rough t out. It be-came evident that more study was needed.

A number of different points of view on chapel were b rough t out in the statements. According to Priscilla Inkpen, " H a v i n g cha-pel is one of the w a y s in which the Chris t ian school reminds stu-dents that its commitment is not only to academic truth, but a lso to truth as it is found in Chris t ."

R E F L E C T I N G A different point of view, James Tall is wrote, " C h u r c h related colleges are more and more d iscover ing that their church-relatedness implies m a n y other things -- and p e r h a p s m a n y more impor tan t things -- than re-qu i r ing all students to come and " w o r s h i p " aga ins t their will. . . It a lso creates an even more likely possibility that a negat ive reac-tion will result -- a resentment

f rom which he might never re-cover . "

Speak ing of the morn ing ser-vices, Je r ry Poor t inga stated, "I t should be concerned with worship and a d o r a t i o n of Cod, and with such quest ions as personal pur-pose, goa ls and m a n n e r of living. It should be a type o f ' e x p o s u r e ' -- exposure tose r iousques t ion ing , and then the answer of Chris t ian ideas and worsh ip and the exam-ple of Chris t ian l ives."

"If t h rough our teaching and e s p e c i a l l y t h rough our daily examples we are do ing our jobs p roper ly , we will have worship-ers with us in chape l . "

C O M M I T T E E C H A I R M A N Bruins wrote, "At tending morn-ing chapel at least twice a week, therefore, is the acceptance of one aspect of the m a n y disciplines in-volved in the educat ing process in a Chris t ian, church-related, lib-eral ar ts college. Fvery member of the college communi ty is recog-nizing the necessity to gather in worship in response to the Word of C o d . "

The other student member , Wes Michaelson, expressed his opinion by say ing , " C o n c e r n i n g chapel, then, the present and justifiable posit ion is that required atten-dance is at present necessary and does more good than h a r m as the college at tempts to provide, in concrete ways , a Chris t ian liberal arts educa t ion . "

The final member , Russ Devette stated simply, " C h a p e l services should attempt to constant ly con-front the student with the fact that knowledge is set in the con-fines of our Chr is t ian fa i th ."

Alumni Fund Receives Bequest of $10,000

A s 10,000 bequest f rom the estate of Wilhelmina Bos Hughes has been received by Hope Col-lege for its 1966 Alumni Fund accord ing to announcement m a d e by La r ry Ter Molen, Director of the Fund .

How Effective Is the Senate? By Tom Hildebrandt

The reputat ion and effectiveness of the Student Senate was exa-mined at length at its M o n d a y meeting before the vaca t ion . The m a j o r concern of the m e m b e r s was the esteem of the student body .

Sena to r Steve L a r k i n ra ised the ques t ion as to how effective the Student Senate has been this year . In answer to this, Hob Donia noted that the s tructure is a m b i g u o u s and that the oft-noted " p r o p e r c h a n n e l s " often wind forever and this needs change . This is not to s ay , however, that the Senate has done nothing, he said.

OPPOSING DONIA was Sena-tor (Hen Pontier who said that " i think the Senate hasn ' t d o n e much this y e a r . " lie pointed to the num-ber of mot ions that have been tabled, indicat ing a lack of action. He saw the Senate's m a j o r accom-plishment has been to c h a n g e Sat-u r d a y meals at Slater and scoffed at " p r o p e r channe l s , " s a y i n g that the women in Voorhees can ' t get fire escapes in this way.

Rebutting this, President dene Pearson stated that the Senate 's biggest deed was permiss ion for senior women to eat off c a m p u s and that m a n y other changes are wait ing in the wings.

HK ALSO OBSFRVED that the Senate serves the s tudents ' inter-ests. including minor as well as m a j o r projects. Adding to this, Senator Don Luidens said that tabl ing a motion that needs s tudy is not a negat ive action.

For his report . President Pear-son g a v e the f loor to J o h n Mul-der, anchor editor. Not ing that it is no s h a m e that the Senate makes as m a n y mistakes as any adminis t ra t ive body , he said that the anchor coverage of Senate meetings were meant to show ail

that went on, including the foi-bles.

They were not intended to m a k e light of the s ena to r s ' jobs , sa id Mulder, who apologized to any-one w h o was offended by the arti-cles. He promised that in the fu-ture no attempts at h u m o r would be made .

PEARSON T H E N defended his act ions in the Student Life Com-mittee meeting which was criti-cized in an anchor editorial. He said that student representat ives canno t be inflexibly b o u n d to the wishes of the s tudents and must be free to make decisions on his own. He explained his c h a n g i n g a Senate recommendat ion to have vot ing representat ion on the Edu-ca t iona l Policies Committee in this light.

SENATOR BOB THOMPSON, in a motion s u p p o r t i n g the pre-sence of an anchor reporter in Student-Facul ty Commit tee meet-ings, p roposed that the Senate ask for a statement of policy in t h i s matter f rom the p r o p e r sources. This, of course, would not infr inge upon a commit tee 's r ight to executive session, sa id T h o m p s o n . The mot ion was passed.

Sena tor Lark in moved that the mot ion to institute a p lan of course eva lua t ion be removed f rom the table. It was noted the Amer ican Assn. of Universi ty Professors , headed by Dr. Ezar Gea rha r t , was invest igat ing a p l a n of course and teacher eva lua t ion . The Stu-dent Faculty Relations Commit-tee was then directed to look into this plan.

The course will be limited to 15 students, will deal with Mid-dle Fastern issues, and m a y be used to satisfy the senior religion req u ire men I.

D l t H O L L E N B A C H has sug-gested that a l t hough Western civ-ilization and society are studied to a g r ea t extent, the non-Western world is somewhat ignored, and "these are the a r e a s that pose the crucia l p rob lems of t oday a n d t o m o r r o w . "

SAFE—One of the Voorhees co-eds who have complained of late about the inadequate fire escape provisions in Voorhees tries out the old, bul now repaired, fire escape.

Remodeling, Enlarging Of Voorhees Planned

Muste Continues Struggle

For Peace Throughout World

The ^irls of Voorhees Hall have one w o r k i n g fire escape, and their d o r m i t o r y will p r o b a b l y be re-furb ished and p e r h a p s enlarged d u r i n g the summer .

It was a lso revealed by Direc-tor of Business Affairs , Clarence Hand log ten that p lans have been d r a w n up for an expans ion of (Ulmore Hall. In the shape of a squa re , the addi t ion will house 2 2 6 co-eds on three f loors be-hind the present bui lding.

T H F V O O R H E E S F I R F escape is a cyl indrical tube s t a n d i n g vert-ically behind the bui lding. It has an en t rance on both the second and third f loors, a l lowing the girls to descend sliding down a cir-cu la r chute. The escape has been there for m a n y yea r s and minor repa i r s were m a d e to br ing it back to w o r k i n g condit ion.

Five weeks ago the girls pro-tested h a z a r d o u s fire condit ions by p a r a d i n g outside the Presi-dent ' s home after c los ing hours . No disc ipl inary action was taken aga ins t the demons t r a to r s , whose act ions produced some concrete results.

A L T H O U G H T H E Y NOW h a v e one escape, the girls a re still dissatisfied. J u n i o r Sue Al-bers said that " n o one feels we'll all be able to get ou t . " Sopho-m o r e Ann Gunkler described the s i tuat ion as "definitely inade-q u a t e . "

Mr. Hand log ten traced the his-tory of the problem of the fire escapes. A p lan for ou tdoor fire escapes had been p repared for Voorhees this s u m m e r and was a b o u t to be implemented when it was discovered that the p lan had never been a p p r o v e d by the fire marsha l l .

I N S T E A D OF S U B M I T T I N G the p lan to the fire mar sha l l , the o rde r which had been m a d e was cancelled because the razing of Voorhees to m a k e way for a new gir ls ' d o r m was considered, ac-c o r d i n g to Mr. Handlog ten .

Since then, however, sentimental and f inancial cons idera t ions for the c a m p u s l a n d m a r k have com-bined to cause a shift f rom this posi t ion. Instead of des t roying Voorhees , " a tentative decision has been m a d e to refurbish the

d o r m i t o r y by a committee of mem-bers of the Adminis t ra t ion and B o a r d of Trus tees . "

A C O M P L E T E R E M O D E L I N G could be done for less than $2 ,000 a student bed while an entirely new do rmi to ry costs $3 ,500-$ 4 , 0 0 0 per student bed, Mr. Hand-logten est imated. He also noted that the bu i ld ing does "no t take the best a d v a n t a g e of the si te" and that an addi t ion was archi-tectually feasible and was being considered.

He noted that "if we're go ing to refurbish the bui lding, it wouldn ' t be wise to spend several t housand do l l a r s for fire escapes ." He said that if the remodeling is done, it would take place " a s fast as poss ib le , " p r o b a b l y dur-ing " the s u m m e r m o n t h s . " The modernized Voorhees would p r o b a b l y conta in inner protected stairwells s imi la r to those in the newer bui ldings.

MR. H A N D L O G T E N RECOG-N I Z E D the d a n g e r dur ing the interim period a n d said that he unders tood the feelings of the co-eds. During the week before Chr i s tmas , the old fire escape was renovated . Mr. Handlog ten does not foresee a n y other changes until the summer . He has looked into the possibilit ies of rope lad-ders such as the girls requested and reported that the fire mar-shall "will not a p p r o v e their use."

The Hol land fire marsha l l is go ing to m a k e an inspection of the bui lding d u r i n g the next sev-eral weeks a n d m a k e recommen-dat ions for the bui lding 's fire safety. He noted that " the entire bui ld ing needs remode l ing . "

The p u r p o s e of the p r o g r a m is two-fold: Young post-doctoral in-terns, who have had no teaching experience, a re placed in good teaching posit ions with half of their time reserved for research or teaching exper imenta t ion; the college benefits by the addi t ion of new courses, a res t ructur ing of old courses, by h a v i n g the op-portuni ty for depar tments to achieve a size a p p r o p r i a t e to scholar ly s t imulat ion, and by br ing ing to its faculty the newest ideas and techniques with which g r adua t e schools a re working .

F O R H A L F A C E N T U R Y , Rev. A. J. Muste has tried to b r ing about the world he still sees in his mind, and readies his hand , t r e m b l i n g with age, to begin " b e a t i n g swords into p l o w -sha re s . "

Hope's new p r o g r a m (seven pro-fessors in b io logy, five in psy-chology in addi t ion to a part-time teaching psychiatr is t , and seven in chemis t ry) will serve in a consul tat ive role to the three interns with one faculty member in each depar tment specifically assigned the task.

The Hope College p roposa l was coordinated and d r a w n up by Dr. Robert De Haan , c h a i r m a n of the educat ion depar tment at Hope and former director of the GLCA P r o g r a m m e d Instruction Project.'

The anchor wishes to offer its sinc?re apologies to Gene Pear-

son for the overly personal way in which we criticized his actions

at the Student Life Committee meeting. We have never questioned

Pearson's integrity or character and we regrat that our criticism

of his actions have been taken by some as an attack on his char-acter.

We hope for further debate on the responsibility of student

leaders to the student body. To the extent that we have hindered

such debate by dealing in personalities, we offer our genuine regrets.

" Reason in no w a y directs men a s it u sed to be bel ieved . . .

Beethoven, like so m a n y of us, h a d a difficult c h i l d h o o d . He w a s m a d e to l ea rn the p i a n o a n d viol in by his fa ther , a s tern m a n w h o w a s interested mos t ly in exhibi t-

The answer to the p r o b l e m is not so lved by d e p e n d i n g on a m o r a l c o d e - " The s tory of the Fall is very c lear : M a n ' s grea t t empta t ion is to wan t to k n o w by himself what is g o o d a n d wha t is evil.

ing his s o n ' s t a len ts in publ ic for prof i t .

IT IS D I F F K U L T t o s a y why Beethoven's interest in mus i c con-tinued during his b o y h o o d , but happi ly he received encourage-ment and friendship from several fine teachers. In addit ion, Beet-h o v e n knew and loved Bach's " T h e Well-Tempered Clavier ," a thorough knowledge of which is neces sa ry to any composer ' s ed-ucation.

In 1787 , he w a s taken to Vi-enna where he c a m e under the influence of the a lready f a m o u s and g r e a t H a y d n and where he p layed for Mozart, eliciting from Mozart the oft-quoted excla-mation: "This y o u n g m a n will l eave his mark on the w o r l d . " I d o not k n o w if it is signifi-can t or not, but a f te r this en-coun te r with Mozart, Bee thoven ' s fa ther , whose name w a s J o h a n n , t u rned total ly to d r i n k .

MOZART WAS, a s u s u a l , tot-al ly right. What is this m a r k that Beethoven left on the w o r l d ? Is it e n o u g h to s a y (I refer to a (1 no ta t ion f r o m o n e of m y lec-tu re s ) that Beethoven is the " c o m p o s e r w h o represen t s the fullest m a t u r i t y (in emot ional scope, in f o r m a l c o n s t r u c t i o n and in i n s t r u m e n t a l t r e a t m e n t ) of the allied classic f o r m s of the sonata , concer to , s t r i ng q u a r t e t a n d the s y m p h o n y ? "

Tha t s a y s a lot to those know-l edgeable in mus ic , but does it speak to o t h e r s ? I doubt it. But Beethoven ' s mus i c can reach al-most a n y o n e wil l ing to be reach-ed. and I think I can tell y o u how. To g r a s p the m e a n i n g in Beethoven's music , m y sugges t ion is to do lots of listening. Thanks to g o o d mus ic ians and tech-nology , numerous recordings a n d record players are a v a i l a b l e to us today.

it is a n honest a p p r a i s a l ol their respective l imi ta t ions , be ing ex-ternal a s s o c i a t i o n s of p e r s o n s as con t ras t ed with the p o w e r of a l iving pe r sona l i ty itself.

The s u b s t a n c e of this commi t -ment is obscu red by the very mys-tery . of h u m a n existence itself. There is no a b s o l u t e commi t -m e n t - a m a n c a n commi t himself only to the degree that he is cap-able of c h a n g i n g his hab i t s .

T H E MOST BASK q u e s t i o n s of life (if one is to be so preten-tious a s to conce rn oneself with such q u e s t i o n s ) a r e not so lved on a strictly intellectual level. M a n ' s i r r a t i ona l i t y a n d c a p a c i t y for c h a n g e h a s left r o o m for faith a n d , thereby , for C.od ( a g a i n , if one m a y be so pre ten t ious . ) Fa i th itself is not easy to define a n d . indeed, s h o u l d , to be descr ip t ive , include its very oppos i t e , d o u b t ; which is but to i l lustrate how in-a d e q u a t e the intellectual ca tegor -ies of faith a n d doub t a r e to de-scribe what it is that m o v e s a man .

T o u r n i e r ' s b o o k m a y d i shea r t -en s o m e because of its a s s u r e d tone when s p e a k i n g of supe rna t -ural p h e n o m e n o n such as C.od

Record c a t a l o g s now list ove r 6 0 0 r eco rd ings of Beet-h o v e n ' s w o r k s . This is a n ad-vantage not d r e a m e d of ea r l i e r and it is o n e of the m a n y bless-ings of life which we accept in such a c a v a l i e r f a sh ion t o d a y . Such largess .

I e n c o u r a g e you to listen to recordings a n d in a d d i t i o n I would u r g e you to a t tend a s m a n y live p e r f o r m a n c e s of Bee thoven ' s music a s you c a n m a n a g e . It's t rue that on occas ion y o u m a y hea r s o m e p o o r p e r f o r m a n c e s . Well, p e r f o r m e r s h a v e a h a r d lot, too, but don't be turned off, so to s p e a k . Beethoven will c o m e t h r o u g h . One of the r e m a r k a b l e things about great music is that it can surv ive even b a d perform-ances.

T H E R E IS A S P I R I T of inde^ pendence, of c o u r a g e in the face of hardship, intensity and fervor of subjective emot ion that mark Beethoven's music. What greater hardship could a c o m p o s e r suffer than deafness? Yet most of Beet-hoven's greatest works were com-posed after he w a s total ly deaf. As early as 1 8 1 6 he h a d to use an ear-trumpet and by 1 8 2 2 his deafness w a s total. Beethoven's music a l so reflects his spirit of independence and his l o v e of free-d o m for which his f a m o u s en-counter with N a p o l e o n need on ly to be recalled.

There is a m o o d of profound subject iv i ty , of p o w e r f u l soul-ex-press ion , that s e p a r a t e s Beethov-en's music from the c lassical w o r k s of Bach, H a y d n and Mo-zar t , o p e n i n g the e r a of "roman-tic" c o m p o s i t i o n .

Interview "WM

Dean Mathis On Hope and Its Students f

By George Arwady

Who makes the decisions at Hope Col-lege? What kind of relat ionship exists be-tween the students and the Administra-tion? What does the future hold for Hope College?

These were some of the quest ions dis-cussed in an interview recently with Dean for Academic Affairs, William S. Mathis.

The Dean was asked whether he though " a good relat ionship exists between th' students and Admin is t ra t ion . "

Student-Administration Relations

Dean Mathis replied, "My own feeling is that the re la t ionship is s trained be-cause the students have pe rhaps misin-terpreted the Adminis t ra t ion ' s role. The students have a picture of the Adminis-trat ion as an all-powerful god. Hope-fully, it shouldn ' t be that, but the very anti thesis ."

" T h e essential element of a good ad-minis t ra t ion is a 'come let us reason to-gether ' att i tude on the part of both stu-dent and adminis t ra t ion . At Hope, stu-dents seem to come to me with a desire for a final au tho r i t a r i an decision. 1 don ' t like this. I'm in college teaching and ad-minis t rat ion because I respect the college student as an individual . A relat ionship of mutua l respect and interdependence is called for. I can ' t possibly see all the sides of even a single student 's prob-lems."

Dean Mathis noted that students often do not know who makes the decisions which influence them and underest imate their influence.

Who Makes Decisions?

In reply to a query of who is the Ad-minis trat ion, Dean Mathis listed the mem-bers of the newly created Administrat ive Council. He described this council as " a pool of ideas and problems, a session at which a long look at the interrelation-ship of all aspects of the College is t aken . "

The Dean said that the chief decision-m a k i n g body on campus was the fac-

'This college operates from the bottom up. The faculty makes decisions on the recom-

mendations of committees of which students are always a part.'

ulty. A faculty decision or a student-fac-ulty committee r ecommenda t ion is usual-ly just passed a long by the Adminis t ra-tive Council because it "doesn ' t skirt the limits of pol icy."

Role of Administration

" The role of the Adminis t ra t ion is to implement faculty decisions where possi-ble. The Adminis t ra t ion reviews faculty decisions in r ega rd to Hoard of Trus-tees policy and the school ' s fiscal and physical policies and s i tua t ion , " the dean sa id .

" T h e role of the Hoard of Trustees is to fo rmula te the overal l general policy of the school. The b o a r d sets the f r a m e w o r k within which the College operates. The Hoard provides a continuity to school policy which is not found in other cam-pus inst i tut ions."

Dean Mathis described the President 's job as extremely difficult. The President must keep one foot in c a m p u s life itself and one foot in the world of the people concerned with Hope College. He must act as l iason between the Hoard of Trus-tees a n d the Adminis t ra t ion . He must al-so be sensitive to atti tudes of the church, the communi ty and the a lumni , he said.

Senate and Students

T H E NEEDS OF THE student can best be expressed t h rough the Student Sen-ate, accord ing to Dean Mathis. "1 would like to see the Senate funct ioning as a representative body reflecting a consen-sus of student op in ion - the very best of student thinking. The students ass igned to regu la r committees should become a l iaison between the faculty and the stu-dents, g iving detailed reports back to the Senate and through them to the student body.

'I'm in college teaching and administration

because I respect the college student as an

individual. A relationship of mutual respect

is called for.'

"Students have underest imated their power on committees. The committee mem-bership of students is not taken seriously enough. This college opera tes f r o m the bottom up. The faculty makes decisions on the r ecommenda t ions of committees of which students a re a lways a p a r t . "

Personal Relations Needed

Dean Mathis expressed regret that there seemed to be a lack of personal relat ions between students and Adminis t ra t ion . He called the development of such a rela-tionship Hope 's "mos t desperate need." He compla ined that he almost feels "in-sulated f rom the s tudents" and wishes to "establ ish a relat ionship that is miss-ing."

Dean Mathis tied this lack of r a p p o r t in with the size of the College. He said that Hope "is not smal l enough a n y m o r e to be one h a p p y family. While it is a communi ty , there a re sub-communit ies and sub-loyalties within the l a rger com-muni ty . " He emphasized that "we need to hear each other o u t " for the g o o d of the whole College.

The Dean pointed out one way that the Adminis t ra t ion is a t tempting to move toward the at tainment of a more ideal situation. "We're h a v i n g a t ransi t ion in the Administrat ion. The College itself is developing a system, a routine. The im-provement and modernizat ion of m a n y

the larger community.'

routines to eliminate the busy work of Adminis t ra t ion can m a k e it possible to establish persona l relat ionships. We would be able to allow more time for persona l contac t . "

The Church and Hope

The Dean was a lso asked about the re la t ionship of the College and the Church a n d asked whether we can re-main affiliated in a period of rising costs of educat ion.

He said that it is " h a r d to know what will happen . At the present time the ad-van tages of affiliation outweigh the dis-a d v a n t a g e s . " Dean Mathis felt, however , that " a redefinition of the re la t ionship is impera t ive . "

He noted that it is preferable to h a v e " a college-related church ra ther than a church-related college. The Church h a s never been this," the Dean said.

Healthy Relationship

"We've never lived th rough times like these in higher educat ion. 1 don ' t think a breach is impossible, but it would t ake some l o n g thinking and eva lua t ion for Hope to go without the church. There is a healthiness in the relat ionship between the Reformed Church and Hope, a re-laxed att i tude which you don ' t find in m a n y other schools , " Dean Mathis con-cluded.

Western Student Drafted Hope a l u m n u s Mike Laughl in , class of

1966, h a s been drafted after a fight with the Selective Service for more than a year . He was a t tending Western Theological Sem-inary when he received his induction not-ice.

Laughl in will report after over a year of appea l s to obtain a reclassification. In October 1965, he w a s classified 1-A while f inishing the last semester of his work at Hope.

He pre-registered at Western Semina ry for the qua r t e r beginning March 1966, but was draf ted for the first time in Feb-rua ry . His appea l was accepted after his c o n g r e s s m a n intervened, but his 1-A classification was never changed.

Subsequent appea ls sent the case to Washington; however, his draf t s ta tus re-mained 1-A even while he was a full-time divinity student at Western Semina ry this fall. Al though Western's Dean of Ad-missions Henry Ten Clay suppor ted Laugh l in ' s appea ls , Laugh l in received his induction notice in ea r ly December.

He explained that even though he ap-

pealed to the higher courts, " the local b o a r d is pract ical ly a u t o n o m o u s . 1 have n o w a y of knowing whether the higher courts suppor ted my appea l since they a re channeled back to the local b o a r d and are only a d v i s o r y op in ions . "

He s tated t h a t he and his wife, the former Mar jo r i e Wiegman, had resigned themselves to the si tuat ion. "We 've been fighting it for so l o n g , " he said , " t h a t we just reached the point where it's a relief to know when. I 'm just g lad I had a chance to complete one qua r t e r at Wes-tern."

As for now, he said , " I ' m cons ide r ing enlisting so that I can have more choice. I'd like to be ass igned as a c h a p l a i n ' s assistant , and the Semina ry h a s told me that they would accept that as fulfilling my internship requ i rement . "

His wife, who is teaching at Hol land Chris t ian High School, will finish the year in Hol land , and then either join her husband or cont inue her work for her mas ter ' s degree, depend ing on where he is located.

Dr. Dykstra explained that the early closing was due to orienta-tion seminars being p lanned for p r o g r a m par t ic ipants d u r i n g the second semester. These semina r s will offer an introduct ion to Jap-anese culture and a brief taste of the J apanese l anguage . All lec-tures in J a p a n , however, will be in Knglish.

i)K. DYKSTRA NOTKI) that there were several aspects of the p r o g r a m which needed clarifica-tion. " The expense," he noted, "will be roughly c o m p a r a b l e to

t h a t of t h e Vienna Summer schoo l . " He added that there will be a possibil i ty of s tudents work-ing for a month in J a p a n . "

I he courses at Meiji ( l akuin I 'niversi ty in T o k y o will deal with the his tory , l i terature and ph i lo sophy of J a p a n . Hope stu-dents will be able to e a r n five or six credit h o u r s in the p r o g r a m .

Hope College women are in-v o k e d in the M1AA (Michigan Inter-collegiate Athletic Assn.) on-ly in a limited way. Presently, the MIAA offers archery , basket-ball, bowling, field hockey, ten-nis and volleyball for women. Hope College competes in only

two of these spor t s : a rchery and tennis. Hope took second place in tennis last season .

Victory Over Kazoo Gives Hope Lead By James Mace

Hope un loaded the b o m b s ear ly in the second half and then s taved off a K a l a m a z o o rally to register its fourth straight MIAA basket-ball win with an 82-70 t r iumph over the visiting Hornets last Wednesday night.

The Flying Dutchmen rebound-ed f rom a 95-69 defeat they suf-fered at the h a n d s of the Wheaton Crusaders to pick up their s ixth victory in nine games. The loss was the second for the Hornets and leaves their ledger at 5-2. Hope gets back into action to-mor row night at the Civic Cen-ter with a non- league g a m e against Lake Forest.

BOTH TFAMS STRUGGLED th rough a s luggish first half of play and the Dutch came off the floor with a 35-34 edge due to a last minute basket by Carl Wal-ters. Jun ior center Floyd Brady, the leading scorer for the Dutch, remained true to fo rm a n d popped in 16 m a r k e r s in the first twenty minutes to pace the spo-radic Hope attack.

Bob Trena ry , classy j un io r guard for the Hornets, led the visitors with 13 points in the first half, while t eammate Ralph Well-ington added 12 more points. Hope had the height a d v a n t a g e but its cold pe r fo rmance f rom the floor near ly nullified the winner ' s

The Flying Dutchmen wrestl ing team, under the direction of Sid Huitema, opened its 1966-67 sea-son on Dec. 10 with a loss to Grand Rapids Jr . College, 35-10.

The team, which has been of-ficially in existence for three years , compiled it's points by a pin and a forfeit. Gary Cook, a f r e s h m a n from Niles, Mich, pinned his m a n in the second period for five points. The r ema in ing points re-sulted f rom a forfeit to Bud Till-erman, who wrestles in the 145 lb. class.

The Hope College Flying Dutch-men won their third MIAA con-test by defeating Albion College 81-74 in the g a m e pr ior to the Dutch Classic basketbal l tourna-ment.

Hope now leads the league with a 3-0 record, followed by Kala-mazoo with a 2-0 record. The Hope victory over Albion leaves the Britons without a win in the MIAA, hav ing gone down three times in defeat.

T H F FIRST HALF ended with Albion ahead 41 -39 after l ead ing through most of the half. After halftime the Britons hit for three points to lengthen their lead to 44-39. Hope finally got hot a n d took over the lead as they p u m p -ed in ten points to Albion 's two.

r ebounding a d v a n t a g e .

DON KRONEMEYER and Brady led the locals off the bench

in the second half and scored 12 points between them in the first Hve minutes to move the Dutch out to a 52-37 lead. Bruce Van Huis and B r a d y domina ted both b a c k b o a r d s d u r i n g tile spree and the Dutchmen looked well oi \ their way to an impressive victory.

However, as so often has been the case, the Dutch began to lose the touch f rom the f loor and Tren-ary and Wellington b rough t the Hornets back into the g a m e with some fine outside shoot ing. Well-ington hit a basket with seven minutes to go to cut the Hope marg in to 62-57 but that was as close as the visitors could get.

GARY RYPMA entered the g a m e in the backcour t for the Dutch and tallied eight quick points on a pa i r of shor t j u m p e r s and two pretty dr ives to put the Dutch out of reach. T r e n a r y tried in vain to catch the Dutch express but when center Joe Muenzer fouled out of the b a l l g a m e the Hornets lost a good deal of their r ebound ing strength.

Brady led all scorers and turn-ed in his high point pe r fo rmance of the season with 3 6 marke r s , while T r e n a r y led the losers with 28 points. Wellington also hit the

ids J.C., the Flying Dutchmen met the Va lpa r i so Crusade r s on Dec. 14 and were defeated 36-3.

Again it was f r e s h m a n Gary Cook who lead Hope ' s single score of three points with a 7-0 decision over Harley Hett of Valpar iso . Cook now is unde-feated in activity this year , and a p p e a r s as the br ight spot in Hope's d i smal record of 0-2.

Youth and inexperience cer-tainly account for the ra ther poor start to 1966-67 wrestl ing sea-son. However, Coach Sid Huite-ma hopes that precious experience will improve the record of Hope 's Flying Dutchmen.

Hope never trailed after this but Albion did come within two points twice with the score at 72-70 and 74-72.

Floyd B r a d y led in both the scor ing and r e b o u n d i n g depart-ments as he collected 21 points and g r a b b e d 20 rebounds . Soph-omore Bruce Van Huis scored 15 points and pulled in 15 re-bounds . G a r y Hypma hit for 14 while Don Kronemeyer recorded 12 points for the night. Ten of Rypma ' s points came f rom the free throw line as a result of the press used b y Albion.

F R E S H M A N RICK ZIEM en-tered the g a m e late but m a n a g e d to put in 18 points for the Britons to become their high scorer . Jim Bell was next h igh with 12 points.

2 0 - m a r k for the visi tors with 22 points, while Kronemeyer , Wal-ters- and Hypma were also in twin figures for the Dutch with 15, 12 and 10 points respective-ly-

T H E VICTORY leaves the Fly-ing Dutchmen in first place in the loop with an unblemished 4-0 record. The Dutch have to p lay the d a n g e r o u s Olivet Comets and Adr ian before the first semester comes to an end. Hope will tang-le with arch-r ival Calvin, who recently d ropped a 76-69 victory to league d o o r m a t s Adrian, in the first league g a m e of the sec-ond semester on Feb. 8.

Calvin has lost the services of s o p h o m o r e center Bill De l lo rn for at least a week thanks to the Calvin Chapel Committee. It seemed that "Wild Bill" had a ailment c o m m o n to m a n y students that of chape lum cutilis.

The loss w i ^ the second in three league star ts for the defending MIAA c h a m p s and they will have a long, t roublesome r o a d to travel if they hope to catch the present league leaders. Whether Del lo rn will miss m a n y more games is as yet undecided.

Northwestern College of Orange City, Iowa, captured the title in the first Dutch Classic basketbal l t ou rnamen t in the Civic Center held December 28 and 29.

The Red Raiders won the title by downing Michigan Lutheran College of Detroit, 82-74. After being winless in five road games Northwestern won two in the tou rnamen t to give them the wood-en shoe t rophy .

The f lope College Flying Dutch-men na r rowly defeated Central College of Iowa 92-89 for third place in the consola t ion game .

FOUL TROUBLE enabled sen-ior Dave Kleis of Northwestern to get in only ten minutes of p lay ing time aga ins t Hope but he was still able to p u m p in 21 points a l ong with impressive re-b o u n d i n g and defensive perform-ances.
