Committee Approves '2100 Plan' By Tom Hildebramlt anchor Editorial Assistant The Blue Ribbon Committee, at its meeting on March 16, passed the "2100 Plan" for chapel, also known as the "Hillegonds proposal." The proposal will now be sent directly to the Board of Trustees. THE PROPOSAL, moved by Don Luidens, recommended that "Participation in morning chapel services be required twice weekly of every student of freshman standing, and once weekly of every student of sophomorestand- ing. For juniors and seniors there will be no required participation, although all students are encour- aged to participate in the chapel services when not obliged to do so." 80th ANNIVERSARY — 21 By Garrett De Graff anchor Reporter The Educational Policies Com- mittee voted Wednesday to pro- vide tor an increased study break before semester examinations, and an increased recess after ex- ams before second semester classes. The proposal was in theformot a recommendation to The Admin- istrative Comm ittee. UNDER THE proposal,classes next semester would end Wednes- day, January 15. January 1 (j and 17 would be used as study days for tinals and for student registration and payment of fees lor the Spring 19G9 semester. Sat- urday and Sunday would be pos- sible study days also. Examinations would begin Monday, January 20, and con- tinue through Saturday, January 25. The next four days, Sunday, January 26, to Wednesday, Jan- uary 29, would be days when the students would be free to leave campus. Second semester classes would begin Thursday, Jan- uary 30. IN EFFECT, the proposal would allow for anextra two days between the end ol lirst semester classes and the beginning of se- cond semester classes. The motion, if finally approved, would grant lour days alter the end of classes to the start ol exams. With registration before exams, the student would also have two or more free days before second semester than he does under the current system. The motion passed was derived from the proposal of the Student Hope students participating in the Great Lakes Colleges Associ- ation Philadelphia program will be on campus Monday and Tues- day to provide information for students interested in participat- ing in the program. The GLCA project provides an opportunity for student teachers to gain experience in urban edu- cational problems. It is also de- signed for students interested in social work and field research in various liberal arts disciplines. The committee noted a number of advantages in the plan. Accord- ing to the minutes of the meeting, the new system "recognizes the growing maturity of the upper- class student, provides the added benefits ofvoluntary worship, and assures that all students will par- ticipate in this vital aspect of the program of the college." THE COMMITTEE also real ized that "the college must face up to the fact that the only ulti- mate penalty which can be used is separation from thecollegecom- munity." Glenn Pontier pointed out that there was still an element of com- pulsion in the plan which might disturb the consciences of a num- ber of students. The present re- gulations provide for the exemp- tion of persons of other faiths, Hope College, Holland. Michigan 49423 Senate, presented to the KPC at their March 6 meeting by Pete Smith. This original proposal asked lor "a three day break be- tween the lasi d a y of classes and the beginning of final exams." IT ALSO ASKED "that there be a five-day break including a weekend between the end of final exams and the beginning ol regis- tration for tin' spring semester, during which time students would not be required to beoncampus." The discussion ol the Student Senate proposal opened with Smith explaining the proposal. Dr. Ezra Gear hart noted that this proposal would "remove five days from the academic calen- dar." SMITH STATED that the last few days of classes are more bene- ficially used in private studying than in classroom participation in preparation for finid exams. Dr. Joan Mueller asked ifgrades were "more important than learn- ing?" Smith responded that "grades are indeed very impor- tant to most students." Dr. David Clark noted that other schools have as long astwoweeks before final exams for pre- paration. He stated that Hope would not be radical if it granted students a tew days of prepara- tion, but that "Hope is radical in its present policy of granting students no time." It was decided by general consensus that the dormitories should be open during this posi- exam period. DR. ROBERT RIEKSE, Asso- ciate Dean tor Academic Affairs and Registrar, answered that it Summer positions with a salary of $750 will be available through the program tor any students in- terested in working with families in the Germantown area of Phila- delphia. Applications torthissum- mer will be available from the stu- dents at a table display in Van Raalte Hall. Eight Hope students are in Phil- adelphia this semester, and the program is under the direction of Hope's Dr. Robert De Haan. but not for students from the Re- formed Church in America and other similar denominations who object to the principle of compul- sory worship. DR, FREDERICK Olert, pastor of the Central Reformed Church in Grand Rapids and a member of the Board of Trustees, moved that "the proposed chapel plan should not be construed to mean that there could be absolutely no exceptions. In very unusual cir- cumstances it should be possible for a student to seek an exemp- tion through the normal coun- selling channels in cooperation with the college chaplain on the basis of a sincere and responsible objection by reason of con- science." It w a s explained that, since at present a student of another faith March 29. 1968 was possible to have registration before the end of the first semes- ter, but that there would proba- bly be a loss ol flexibility incourse selection. Dr. Mueller wondered if aca- demics were not being "subor- dinated to student wishes." The revised proposal was pass- ed toll owing a motion to action by Roger Davis. A controversy over editorial policy of Chimes, the student news- paper of Calvin College, h a s re- sulted in the forced resignation of editor Jeannine Oppewall and the suspension ol publication until a new editor and staff is named. THE PUBLICATION of "Bong," a satirical edition of Chimes, was also prohibited. This action was taken on March 21 at a judicial session of the Calvin publications board and the executive committee of the Calvin student council. The joint session had a faculty majority of one. According to an article in the Grand Rapids Press, the demand for Miss OppewalFs resignation was based on her violations of college policy regarding student publicatio ns. COLLEGE POLICY,according to the Press article, demands that student journalists limit their free- dom in the same way "a Chris- tian should," that they be "com- mitted to the Christian faith and in their writings reflect that faith and its limitations," that writing be "consistent with a loyalty to the Scriptures, particularly as inter- preted in the Reformed con- fessions," student critical opinion should be expressed "with discre- tion and in a constructive man- ner," and writers "should be con- scious that student publications come to the attention of readers other than students." THE RECOMMENDATION of the judicial session was based on a bill of particular violations of that policy and a general disre- gard for Christian and journal- istic etiquette, according to Ger- ben DeJong, student council pre- sident at Calvin. must have a letter of recommenda- tion attesting to that fact, a stu- dent wishing tobeexempted under this provision must have a similar letter attesting to his sincere ob- jection to compulsory worship. THE MOTION did not pre- scribe where such a letter should be obtained so that the student could go where he thought best. The chaplain, a student's faculty advisor, the counselling service or the Dean of Students are pos- sible choices. The initial request for an exemption, however, must be filed with the chaplain. Following this, three other pro- posals dealing with other aspects Saul Bellow, prize winning au- thor, will speak on "The Author and the University" Monday in Dimnent Memorial Chapel at 8:15 p. m. Mr. Bellow's best known book, "Herzog," was placed on the sum- mer reading list for Hope College last year. He will be here in con- junction with the Cultural Affairs program. Mr. Bellow has written six books and numerous articles, in addition to a play, "The Last Analysis," which appeared on the Broadway stage. His first book, "Dangling Man," was published in 1944 and his second,"The Victim," in 1947. Alter being awarded a Guggen- heim Fellowship in 1948,hespent a year in Paris where he began work on "The Adventures of Au- gie March." This book won the National Book Award for fiction in 1954. His other books include "Seize the Day" and "Henderson the Rain King." Mr. Bellow has contributed fic- tion works to"Harper's Bazaar," "The New Yorker" and the liter- ary quarterlies. Besides being a well known author and critic, he has taught at Bard College, Princeton University and the Uni- versity ot Minnesota. A party to the decision, DeJong termed it "unlortunate," but said he would stand b y it. AMONG THE particular items which have drawn criticism to Chimes this year was the paper's highly critical editorial stand against the Calvin Board of Trus- tees' decision to bar the speaking appearance of Negro activist Dick Gregory. The Chimes' hist issue carried an editorial asking the Board to "apologize" to Calvin. Another key issue was an arti- cle by Chimes reporter William Bra shier last December which re- ported that Calvin basketball coach Donald Vroon would refuse interviews if a n y criticism were printed concerning his team. OTHER INCIDENTS which drew criticism to the publication were the use by staff mejnbers of the college name in the October march on the Pentagon, the pub- lishing of an ad of the Socialist party, a biased letters-to-the-editor policy and a disinclination on the part of the stall to follow recom- mendations made earlier in the year by the Publications Board. Dr. Charles Miller, secretary of the Publications Board and facul- ty mentor ol Chimes, said the decision had been made because the paper had "violated journal- istic ethics" and not out of any desire to "tell Chimes what to print." CALVIN PRESIDENT WUliam Spoelhof said in the Press article that, "It's distressing to have to take drastic action like this after the paper had developed into a vigorous publication. But there are points at which one must take action." Calvin senior Paul Schrader, associate editor of Chimes, said of the religious life at Hope were passed. They urged that the time ol Tuesday and Thursday chapel services be changed from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., that Friday chapel be entirely voluntary, giving no credit tor attendance on that day, and that the "amount of budget- ary and human resources devoted to the religious life program of the College" be increased. These three were referred to the appropriate Administrative offi- cers, student-faculty committees or Student Senate committee. Since the Blue Ribbon Committee was established to report directly to the Board ol Trustees, the report will note that this action was taken. SAUL BELLOW Born in Quebec in 1915, Mr. Bellow grew up in Chicago. He received a B.S. degree from North- western University in 1937. Critic Grandville Hicks has re- ferred to Mr. Bellow as "the lead- ing figure in American fiction to- day." that the Publications Board had "broken a 13-year tradition of Chimes leadership," which "since 1956 has been in the hands of a group with more or less the same political and philosophical out- look." SCHRADER SAID that junior editors of the present Chimes staff have been refused permission to run for the position of editor. "This is tantamount to a purge," he said. "It now appears that the next Chimes editor will come from out- side the organization," Schrader continued. "The spurious editor will, it is assumed, seek to make Chimes more 'representative'" in outlook. The idea of a represen- tative newspaper, Schrader said, made him sleepy. "THE REASONS for Chimes' demise are many," Schrader com- mented in an editorial opinion written at the request of the anchor. "Some were purely per- sonal, others seemingly unimpor- tant, others implied. Any news- paper that held unpopular opin- ions for as long as Chimes did, is sure to offend many people, some of them influential. But an underlying reason is, I think, the misconception on the part of the Administration that they can bully today's students. . . "PRESUMABLY THEfunction of educati^ is for the older gen- eration to pass the torch to the younger." Schrader continued, "If the older generation is hesi- tant about passing it, the young simply take it: but it is passed nonetheless. But in being hesi- tant, the older generation also forfeits any right to determine how that torch is used."

Mr. Zol ton Ferency, in a con-ference at the Warm Friend Tues-d a y evening, stated that of the five presidential candidates , Senator Eugene McCar thy h a s the great-est potential for success.

MR, F E R E N C Y felt that Presi-dent J o h n s o n , Robert Kennedy, Richard Nixon a n d Nelson Rockefeller have all created some an imos i ty a m o n g the American vot ing popu la t ion , but Sen. Mc C a r t h y is a new cand ida te a n d c a n more easily ga in the conli-dence of the voters.

In speak ing about general atti-tudes in both parties, Mr. Ferency said that he has found " n o ex-citement for a contest between Ri-c h a r d Nixon and L y n d o n John-s o n . " He described t h e m a s " l a c k -1 us t re" candidates .

the students a r r ived in the Ger-m a n t o w n a rea of Philadelphia and had to find their own hous-ing. The purpose of this was to give the s tudents personal choice, and a lso to immediately begin their term of direct involvement in the p rob lems ol the inner city.

Nine s tudents ended up renting a house together a n d beginning a coopera t ive cooking venture. Others a re living in double apar t -ments.

T H E PROGRAM IS designed to give the students Irom colleges in small towns a chance to s tudy and work in an u r b a n area . " T h e c o m m u n i t y is o u r l a b o r a t o r y . " explained the p r o g r a m ' s director. Dr. Robert De H a a n .

Most of the students a re teach-ing in v a r i o u s schools, but several a re work ing with t ruan t s and " o v e r l y aggress ive chi ldren." One student is w o r k i n g in a City Coun-c i lman ' s otfice; one is in the office of the Superintendent of Schools, s tudying the p rob lems which ar ise in the Board ot Educa t ion ' s rela-tions with City Hall. Another is w o r k i n g in the office of the City PI a n ne r d r a w i ng s pec if ic a t io ns f o r a German town High School annex.

I N A D D I T I O N TOthei r n o r m a l assigned work , the students have been work ing on projects ot their own. A tutor ing project has been started in the rented house. Chi ldren f rom the area have been c o m i n g on T h u r s d a y nights for

help and the p lans are to expand the p r o g r a m to a second night.

There is no c h a r g e for jhc ex-tra school ing, but the chi ldren 's parents have been coming through with things the students need.

"We get paid with lood and things lor the house , " said one of the students.

AMONG O T H E R projects is a p r o g r a m for cleaning the street which the house is on. The chil-d ren who live on the street h a v e been recruited lor the p r o g r a m , and on the first wa rm S a t u r d a y the street and the houses will be cleaned a n d scrubbed.

Students are able to t ake ad-van tage of the m a n y special pro-g r a m s in the area . Recently the g r o u p heard J o h n Holt talk about the theme of his b o o k , "Why Chil-dren F a i l . "

T H E S T U D E N T S are .ill re-quired to take a seminar course on the city. " T h e y go a r o u n d the city look ing into p rob lems a n d condit ions first h a n d , " Dr. De H a a n sa id , " a n d at the end of the year they will have to hand in a p a p e r on the course . " In addi t ion, each student must elect to take either a sociology or pol-itical science course.

Dr. De H a a n said that he was interested in expand ing the pro-g r a m , which will include .'i4 stu-dents b y the end ol the semester. " I would like to h a v e 100 students here in September ," he said.

World War IL The result of this policy, the Vietnam war, h a s caus-ed great intellectual concern a n d speculat ion a b o u t the merit of this policy. This concern h a s led to the es tabl i shment o f w h a t M r . Ferency calls "forces fo r new di rec t ion" in Amer ican politics.

Mr. Ferency is f o rmer c h a i r m a n of the Michigan Central Demo-crat Committee. He r a n aga in s t G o v e r n o r Romney in the 1966 g u b e r n a t o r i a l c a m p a i g n . He re-signed his influential posit ion to become a member o f t h e o r g a n i z a -t ion known as "Conce rned Demo-c r a t s . " He is now c a m p a i g n i n g f o r the policies of that o rgan i za -tion and c a m p a i g n e d for Sena tor McCar thy in the New H a m p s h i r e p r i m a r y .

MR. F E R E N C Y stated that his o rgan iza t ion opposes the way in which the President continues to mishand le the problems of w a r , civil rights and pover ty . He noted a blind consent in established pol-itical mach inery to present poli-cies in which the new movemen t opposes the machinery . The movement for "new direct ion" be-g a n before there were a n y cand i -dates . It has adopted Senator Mc Car thy , Mr. Ferency said , because he personalizes the opposi t ion a n d Amer ican politics d e m a n d a per-sonal i ty .

Much ot McCar thy ' s appeal , a s Mr. Ferency sees it, is based on the challenge he presents to Amer-ican voters. Mr. Ferency feels tha t the Amer ican public is resigned to passive obedience to a s t r o n g political machine .

M C C A R T H Y C H A L L E N G E S the indiv idual to a s s u m e the act ive role he must to ma in t a in his poli-tical f reedom. This chal lenge is

pa r t i cu la r ly a p p e a l i n g to college and universi ty students as demon-strated in the New H a m p s h i r e p r i m a r y .

Mr. Ferency a l so spoke about the c a n d i d a c y of Senator Robert F. Kennedy of New York. Incom-p a r i n g K e n n e d y a n d McCar thy, Mr. Ferency stated that McCar thy " w o u l d ra the r be r ight than be pres ident . " On the other hand , Kennedy would " r a t h e r be pre-sident t h a n r igh t . " In fact, Mr. Ferency stated, " I t seems that Senator Kennedy feels he has a right to be pres ident . "

W H E N A S K E D w h e t h e r the pre-sence of two cand ida te s would weaken the c a m p a i g n of " C o n -cerned Democra t s , " Mr. Ferency replied: " I don ' t want a bunch of cand ida tes mess ing up my cam-p a i g n . " He stated tha t " thecon tes t is not between Kennedy and Mc-Car thy , but between J o h n s o n and the forces fo r new di rec t ion ."

But to avo id the possibili ty ot a m a j o r split, Mr. Ferency is re-c o m m e n d i n g a coal i t ion ol Ken-nedy and McCar thy suppor te r s . This coal i t ion would guaran tee the victory of either McCar thy or Kennedy in each p r i m a r y and turn its suppo r t to the strongest runner a s the C h i c a g o Conven-t ion d raws nearer .

MR. F E R E N C Y F E E L S that Sen. Kennedy, with his name, wealth and c h a r m , h a s a definite a d v a n t a g e in the c a m p a i g n . At lirst Senator McCar thy had diffi-culty conv inc ing the press he was a serious cand ida te . McCar thy ' s immediate appea l w a s to the in-tellectual c o m m u n i t y . His back-g r o u n d in Minnesota a n d his suc-cessful c a m p a i g n in New Hamp-shire 's indust r ia l cities demon-strate M c C a r t h y ' s potential ap-peal to the f a r m and l abor votes.

By Ken Nienhuis ancho r Reporter

The Student Life Commit tee passed an " o p t i o n a l h o u r " pro-posal for senior women. This p ro-posa l h a d previously been ap-proved by both AWS and the Stu-dent Senate.

T H E PROPOSAL " would ena-ble senior women, with written parenta l permiss ion , to have the privilege of de te rmin ing their own closing h o u r s consonan t with the p roposed policies and proce-dures , " accord ing to the SLC min-utes. The details of these policies and procedures will be worked out by the student deans .

One prev ious ly suggested means of implement ing this pro-g r a m would permit women desir-ing to s t ay out past the n o r m a l c los ing hour to sign out a d o r m key for the night. Senior w o m e n who wished to s tay out all night would be allowed to do so.

Mrs. L inda Palmer, secre tary of the committee, said that the ra t iona le behind the p roposa l w a s that women students should be allowed to t ake the responsibi l i ty for determining their own hour s .

If the new p l a n meets f inal ap-p r o v a l , several courses in the Re-l igion depa r tmen t now used for Senior Semina r credit would no longer be acceptable for that pur-pose. A m o n g these are the Rise

The p r o p o s a l would enab le the .student's Senior S e m i n a r to more ellectively meet these objectives.

On Senate Candidates

JN R E C E N T YEARS the H o p e College s tudent h a s been m o v i n g s teadi ly to-ward responsibi l i ty f o r his own con-

duct within the College c o m m u n i t y . The decision of the Blue R i b b o n Com-

mittee to a d o p t the Hi l l egonds P lan a n d the ea s ing of d ress r egu la t i ons a n d cur lews for coeds are s igns that the College is com-ing to recognize tha t u n d e r g r a d u a t e ma-tur i ty is a t ta ined mos t effectively by the ex-

tension of more f r eedom a n d responsibi l i ty to the s tudent . T h e Student Life Committee 's s anc t ion of the key system f o r senior women and the p r o p o s a l in the Senate to consider the es tab l i shment oi par ie ta l h o u r s are in-d ica t ions dial this trend is con t inu ing .

ES S E N T I A L T O T H I S p rog re s s , how-ever, is the willingness ol the Ho|)c s tudent to accept the responsibi l i ty

to m a t u r e l y g o v e r n his own conduct a n d to take a n ac t ive and intelligent role in the liie of the c o m m u n i t v .

Next W e d n e s d a y will be the l i r s t ca i id i -da te meet ing ior this s p r i n g s Senate elec-

tions. I nd iv idua l decis ions on whether to run will have to be m a d e in the near future .

The post oi Student Senate President is vital to the responsibi l i ty which must be a s sumed by the H o p e student and should be filled each y e a r by the most h igh ly qual -ified s tudent ava i l ab le . This , un io r tuna t e ly , h a s not a l w a y s occurred in past y e a r s be-cause t o p people h a v e declined to run lo r office because they feared the b u r d e n of re^pon.sibilitv.

SU C H M U S T N O T be the ca se in the u p c o m i n g election. The best avai l -ab le people should accept the chal-

lenge to run a n d serve the c o m m u n i t y a n d make purely persona l considerat ion.s s e c o n d a r y .

We look f o r w a r d to an excit ingly con-tested race fo r Student Senate pos i t ions . More i m p o r t a n t l y , however , we look for-ward to a slate oi Hope ' s best student citizens in that race.

A Friend in Need

As soon as Sen. Eugene McCar thy won 42 per cent of the votes in New Hampsh i r e , he received a telephone call f r o m Sen. Robert Kennedy of New York.

" W E W O N , " said Bobby. " H u h ? ' Sen. McCar thy said. "We really g a v e it to them. Gene, and

I want you to k n o w I'll never forget the role you p l a y e d . "

"Gee, thanks , B o b b y . " "Don ' t thank me. Ethel and I were

sit t ing a r o u n d the l iving room reassessing--we a lways reassess on Tuesday , because tha t ' s the nurse 's day o f f - a n d suddenly Ethel turned to m e ' a n d said , 'Why don' t you call Gene M c C a r t h y ? You haven' t spoken to him in a long time.' On reas-sessment, it occurred to me that she was r ight . So I just picked up the phone and here 1 a m . "

" I T ' S GOOD T O talk to you, B o b b y , " Sen. McCarthy said.

"No t as good as it is to talk to you . Gene. Tell me wha t your p lans are now."

" I thought I would run in the pr imaries in Wisconsin, Oregon, O k l a h o m a , South Dakota and Minneso ta . "

" G o o d idea. Gene. 1 knew p]lhel was w r o n g . "

"What do you mean, Ethel was w r o n g ? "

"She said y o u looked very tired, and she thought the s t ra in of the pr imaries was getting to you . I told her you were in great health for a m a n of your age, and you wouldn ' t want to give up now. It was p r o b a b l y the television lights that m a d e you look so b a d . "

"I 'M NOT T I R E D at all, Bobby. As a matter of fact, I 'm elated. I think 1 c a n take J o h n s o n at the convent ion in Augus t . "

" T h a t ' s what you think, huh?" " Y o u ' r e d a r n tootin. And 1 want you

to know, Bobby, if 1 m a k e it, you can be m y Attorney Genera l . "

" T h a t ' s nice. Now let's be ser ious a minute, Gene. If you go after the nomina-tion after your showing in New H a m p -shire, people are going to accuse you of being oppor tunis t ic and ruthless. They' l l a lso accuse you of splitting the pa r ty . I don ' t want people to s a y th ings like that about y o u . "

" I D O N ' T W A N T people to s a y that, e i ther ."

" M y people have been reassess ing what we could d o to help you, a n d I believe we've come up with a solution. If I r u n in the p r imar i e s as a smoke screen tor you, I will get all the flack, and at the s a m e time if I do well I could turn mv delegates over to you in Ch icago . "

"Gosh , Bobby, you 'd do that for me?" Why not? Everyone knows I have no

interest in the election except to see that the best m a n gets the job. I 'm one of the few politicians in this count ry who can take the Presidency or leave it a l one . "

" B U T BOBBY, I was look ing f o r w a r d to r u n n i n g in the pr imaries . It gave me an excuse to get a w a y f rom those Senate Fore ign Relations Committee h e a r i n g s . "

"Gene, I 'm not forcing you to do any-thing you don ' t want to do. It's not as if I 'm begging you to step aside. You can do what you d a m n please, tor all I c a r e . "

" Y o u don ' t have to get sore, B o b b y , " " W h o ' s sore? All 1 s a y is that if I 'm

m a n enough to reassess my posi t ion, you should have the decency to reassess y o u r s . "

" I ' l l reassess it if you want me to, Bobby. But I still want to r u n . "

"1 told Ethel there was no sense cal l ing y o u , " Bobby said. " I should have reassess-ed this call in the first place."

Bellow Viewed as Top American Novelist * By Bruce R o n d a

M o n d a y at 8 :15 p.m., is genera l ly r ega rded as the leading contem-p o r a r y Amer i can novelist. His works h a v e received both p o p u l a r and critical ap t roval ; after the publ ica t ion of " H e r z o g " in 1964, critic Grandvi l le Hicks wrote, ' H e r z o g ' re-enforces my convic-tion that Bellow is the l ead ing f igure in Amer ican f i c t i o n t o d a y . "

MR, B E L L O W WAS b o r n in Quebec in 1915; his concern for the role of the Jew in contempo-r a r y society m a y be traced to his ch i ldhood , d u r i n g which b e c a m e in cons tant contact with Jewish thought and customs. In 1924 Mr. Bellow's f ami ly moved to Chicago . " I grew up there and consider myself a C h i c a g o a n , out and o u t , " Mr. Bellow has writ-ten.

In 1 9 3 3 he entered the Uni-versity of Chicago , d r o p p e d out, a n d enrolled in Nor thwestern Un-iversity, where he received his B.S. in 1937. D u r i n g World War II Mr. Bellow served in the Mer-chant Marine, a n d worked on his lirst novel " T h e Dang l ing M a n , " which w a s publ ished in 1944.

The New Candidate By J o h n Niva l a

With the s u d d e n emergence of Eugene McCar thy a s a serious threat to the re ign of L y n d o n J o h n s o n and the subsequent sur-facing ol the real Bobby Kenne-dy, the announcement ot a new and h ighly impor t an t independent cand ida t e went vi r tual ly unnot-iced. There were only a few of us lucky enough to be able to at tend his press conference which w a s held in a third f loor linen closet at the N a d i r Hotel.

T H I S NEW E N T R Y into the presidential race is General Zel-mo T Synod (Ret . ) who is bet-ter k n o w n by his n ickname of "Old Overki l l . " He entered the room wear ing a leather j umpsu i t with the s l o g a n "Kil l lo r Demo-c r a c y " stenciled on the back . "Gent lemen," he said , " d u e to the emergence of a pack of peace candida tes , I have decided to throw m y helmet into the ring. I believe that the time h a s come for all f reedom lov ing Amer icans to be represented b y a cand ida te w h o will c a m p a i g n on the p la t fo rm that ' the right is right. ' Are there any q u e s t i o n s ? "

Somebody in the back of the room asked the inevitable ques-tion a b o u t the Genera l ' s pos i t ion on the war in Vietnam. "Let me say this about tha t , " he b e g a n . " I believe that every other candi-

date is being suppor t ed by a n alien left-wing m o n e t a r y power whose obv ious intention is to un-de rmine the confidence of the Amer ican people and thereby aid the in ternat ional forces of evil in their quest to conquer this last ba s t i on of God-fear ing Ireedom lovers. We must remember that it is o u r du ty to lead the rest of the world into the promised land ol p o p u l a r d e m o c r a c y . "

AT T H I S P O I N T , s o m e b o d y interrupted the General and asked him what course he would follow il he were r u n n i n g the war . The General replied, " I have a two point p r o g r a m for peace in both Vietnam and the United States. First , we have to end the war in the shortest possible time. I would r ecommend pul l ing out all the t roops a n d then l aunch ing un-restricted nuclear a t tacks on all ol Vietnam. If it's so h a r d to tell those people apa r t , why bo the r?"

"Once this is accomplished, the second point is obv ious . We should use what is left of Viet-n a m as a co lony fo r all those Black Power people. This would

clear up the problem of s lums and conflict in our cities, elimi-nate most of the need for wel-fare , and au tomat ica l ly reduce racial tension. This is all so fun-damen ta l that I 'm surpr i sed that

n o b o d y ever thought of it be-fo re . "

AT T H I S P O I N T , theGencra l ' s aide b roke in to a n n o u n c e that it was 9:30 and there was time for only one more quest ion. It was expla ined that the General likes to be in bed by 1 ():()(), a n d he still hadn ' t said his p raye r s a n d the pledge ot allegience. A little old while haired lady on my right asked the General what he p lanned to do to curb the u n d u e a m o u n t ol sexual liberty being exhibited by the young .

The General said, "As Presi-dent ol the United StaU^, one of m y duties would be to g u a r d o u r mora l s . I have found a place in South C a r o l i n a that has f ound the answer to this problem. The only way to keep the kids f r o m mess ing a r o u n d is to keep them sepa ra t e and closely watched. The only problem I can torsee is try-ing to find e n o u g h chape rones to keep an eye on them. However , I 'm sure that when the call goes out , we will h a v e more t h a n e n o u g h vo lun teers . "

AS HE T U R N E D to leave, the cand ida te paused and lilting his a r m in a tare well salute cried " R e m e m b e r this. What 's good for General Synod is good for the coun t ry ! "

tional consciousness . Concern ing Mr. Bellow's latest novel, "Her -z o g , " Alfred Kazin noted, "Bel-low is a thinker as much as he is novelist; it is easy to feel that ' H e r z o g ' is even more a t r iumph ol analyt ic intelligence t h a n ot representat ive f ict ion."

W R I T I N G A B O U T the exercise of the mind and die novelist 's art , Mr. Bellow himself h a s writ-ten, " T h e r e is nothing left for us novelists to do but think. For uiv less we think, unless we m a k e a clearer est imate of our condit ion, we will cont inue to write kid stuff, to fail in o u r function; we will lack ser ious interests and become truly i r re levant . "

Yet Mr. Bellow is widely read outside novelistic circles and out-side the academic communi ty . Mr. Bellow h a s rejected stylistic inno-va t ion for its own sake, and seeks to find in his own experience that with which his readers m a y identi-l.v.

AGAIN, MR. B E L L O W writes, "Without the c o m m o n world the novelist is nothing but a cur ious-ity, and will tind himself in a glass case a long s o m e dull mu-seum c o r r i d o r of the future. We live in a technological age which seems i n s u r m o u n t a b l y hostile to the artist. He must fight for his

life, for his I reedom, a long with everyone else. .

It is this so l idar i ty in conflict which makes Mr. Bellow p o p u l a r ; it is this s ame sol idar i ty which contr ibutes to the element of h o p e in Mr. Bellow's work. Al though it m a y seem somewhat out of place in c o n t e m p o r a r y fiction circles where the tone in m a n y cases is despa i r ing , Mr. Bellow's latest novel s o u n d s a note of hope at its conclusion.

T H E I N T E L L E C T of M oses Herzog provides that charac te r and the reader with a clearer vision of the h u m a n condi t ion; intelligence, r ightly used, bal-ances sense a n d sensibility. The intelligence of Mr. Bellow, as well as his compass ion and vision, is best expressed in the kind ol lang-uage he uses in his novels. As noted before, Mr. Bellow avo ids stylistic innova t ion , and instead concentrates on l a n g u a g e as ex-pressive of the conflict between sensitive self a n d dominee r ing so-ciety.

Kazin writes concern ing Mr. Bellow's a r t , " L a n g u a g e , the right l anguage , is our only s a l v a t i o n now L a n g u a g e is where we— 1—the ques t ing self—alone lives. L a n g u a g e a lone extends, invents, discovers. Sa lva t ion is in art alone. .

In shor t , Mr. Rockefeller re-jected the route to the nomina-tion that requires direct con-f r o n t a t i o n with Mr. N ixon in the pr imar ies .

Mr. Rockefeller's decision to "re i tera te u n e q u i v o c a b l y " his non-cand idacy was based on his f indings that " a consider-able ma jo r i ty of the pa r ty ' s leaders want the cand idacy of fo rmer Vice President Richard N i x o n . " The G o v e r n o r stated that by encou rag ing nat ional as well as pa r ty uni ty , in the light of the three-way strain of unity in the Democrat ic Party, he can best serve to p romote cons idera t ion of s o m e "con-structive a l t e rna th es" to the policies of the J o h n s o n Admin-istrat ion within the G.

Hornist Ruff To Perform In Two Band Concerts

By Bob Vanderberg anchor Sports Editor

" C a u t i o u s o p t i m i s m " is thebest w a y to describe the att i tude of Coach G o r d o n Brewer when he looks a h e a d to the 1968 track season , a s h i s H o p e C o l l e g e s q u a d tries to repeat a s MIAA cham-pions .

"We're the c h a m p s until some-one proves otherwise," s a y s Brew-er. "We have good personnel, and there 's a lot of en thus iasm a m o n g the members of the t eam."

HOPE, W H I C H h a s become a t rack powerhoise in the last two or three years , will be led this s e a s o n by a t r iumvira te of cap-tains. They are seniors Ray Coop-er and Steve Reynen, and jun ior "S i r Walter" Reed. Both Cooper a n d Reed are fine sprinters , while Reynen specializes in the 880-y a r d run.

In the spr in t ing events. Cooper a n d Reed are set, with s o p h o m o r e Mike Oonk and f reshmen Bobby Blanton and K o n r a d R a u p chal-lenging for the third spot in the 100-yard dash. S o p h o m o r e Ra lph Schroeder, a very promis-ing runner in the eyes of Coach Brewer, will p robab ly run in the 220.

PROBABLY T H E MOST high ly-contested r u n n i n g event at the moment is the 440 . Last yea r ' s leader , Mike Paliatsos, is not out this s eason , leaving five runners to fight it out a m o n g themselves. Senior Sid Disbrow, the team's t op m a n two years a g o , is back this season, as is soph Paul Ste-

ketee. Schroeder, who could emerge as the best in the league, and t ransfer Bruce Geelhoed are also topcand ida tes . Another pros-pect is f r e s h m a n Mike Grant .

The distance events a re a l w a y s a Hope s t rongpoin t , and this should be true a g a i n this season. In the 880, Reynen, who holds the school record at 1:57.3, finished second in the MIAA last year and hopes to lake first this time. Soph Rich F r a n k , second m a n last year , has been idled recently by injur-ies and illness. Another soph , Dan Colenbrander , and t r e s h m a n Chris Hai lewi l l a lso run in this event.

H E A D I N G T H E M I L E R S is jun ior Rick Bruggers , w h o set a new school record for the mile S a t u r d a y at the Western Michi-g a n Relays. Bruggers turned in a time of 4 :19 .7 , b r eak ing the old m a r k of 4 :20 .1 set by Doug F o r m s m a a year ago . Senior Paul H a r t m a n will run a l o n g with Bruggers , as will F r a n k , ho|)e-tully.

Bruggers will a lso lead the way in the 2-mile run, where he will go after another F o r m s m a record. Also runn ing in the 2-mile will be junior Rich Bisson and f r e s h m a n cross-country m a n J im Mattison.

T H E R E L A Y s i tua t ion Ls lar f rom set. In the 4 4 0 re lay , only Cooper and Reed are assured ol spots on the team. The other two will come f rom a g r o u p consist-ing of Schroeder, Oonk, Raup, Dave T h o m a s , and p e r h a p s Rey-nen. The live top cand ida t e s lor the mile relay are Schroeder , Geel-hoed, Reed, Cooper a n d T h o m a s .

The 120-yard high hurdles could be a s t rong point with sen-ior Jell Hol lenbach and jun io r Denny Alexander r e tu rn ing f rom last yea r ' s team. This twosome will be joined by f r e shmen B a r r y Schreiber and Alan Folker t .

Hope a p p e a r s s t rong a g a i n in the field events as well. The long j u m p will be handled by two sen-iors, J o h n Tysse a n d F loyd Brady. Tysse a n d Brady usual ly are close to 22 feet, with B r a d y ' s best j u m p last yea r being 22 feel 2 inches aga ins t Calvin . B r a d y will a l so be counted on in the high j u m p , where he turned in a

6-4 leap last season in the Calvin meet. S o p h o m o r e Herm Kuiper h a s a l r eady cleared 6-2, and could go higher. Other high jumper s will be Folkert , Oonk and senior Bruce F o r m s m a .

C O A C H B R E W E R is blessed with two fine pole vaul ters in s o p h o m o r e Bill Bekkering and senior Ken Feit. Bekkering ho lds the school record with a vaul t of 13 feet 6 inches, while Feit f inds 13 feet no ba r r i e r . Jun io r Dave Dui tsman is an experienced vault-er, and f reshmen Car l Nado l sky and Rick B a t e m a n a recons idered fine prospects.

T h u ^ m o s t ques t ionab le of the lield events, as f a r as Coach Brew-er is concerned, is the discus, for both of Hope ' s lop discus men Irom last year , Les Cole and Tai-bi Kahler , have g r a d u a t e d . Hop-ing to fill in c a p a b l y are jun ior Kent C a n d e l o r a , Dui tsman, soph Mike Hansen , and f r e s h m a n Sieve V a n Pell.

C A N D E L O R A A N D H A N S E N vvill a lso put the shot. Another shot-put hopelul is f r e s h m a n M i k e Brown, who is still bothered by a bad shoulder f rom the basketbal l season. While at Ba lav ia , III., High School, Brown threw the 12-pound shot 52 feel.

According to Coach Brewer, Hope has never been in such fine

shape in the javel in throw as it is this season. Experienced throwers like Doug Nichols, jun ior Xatu Bowles, Cande lo ra and Dui tsman give the F ly ing Dutchmen tremen-dous potential in this event. Ni-chols holds the school record for the javel in with a heave of 196 feel, 8 inches.

HOW DOES T H E rest of the MIAA shape up? " O u r toughest competi t ion will most likely come f r o m Ca lv in , " replies Brewer. " T h e y have great personnel and good balance , and they also have a n excellent one-two punch in Dave VerMerris and Rudy V l a a r d i n g e r b r o e k . "

Jazz French hornist Willie Ruff will appea r with the HopeCol lege b a n d and s tage b a n d this week-end.

The b a n d concert tonight will be held in Diment Memoria l Cha-pel and begin at 8:15. A concert and clinic will be given t o m o r r o w a t le rnoon in Snow Audi tor ium at 2.

Tonight ' s concert will feature " S o u n d B o a r d " for French ho rn and wind b a n d , written by Mr. Ruff.

T o m o r r o w ' s concert and clink-will include the premier perform-ance of " T r i l o g y , " three works composed b y former Hope stu-dent David Molt. The piece is dedicated to the s tage b a n d and its director, Robert Cecil. In addi-tion, Mr. Ruff and his par tner .

Dwike Mitchell, will improvise on the string bass a n d French horn .

Jazz mus ic ian Willie Ruff has had a var ied musical career . He and Mitchell were the lirst Ameri-can jazz g r o u p to per form in Russia. While o n tour with the Yale Russian choir , they walked into L e n i n g r a d University and asked if a n y o n e cared to listen. The result w a s a three-hour con-cert which caused quite a stir in Russian d ip lomat ic and music circles.

More recently Mr. Ruff h a s turn-ed to c o m p o s i n g . At present he is s t udy ing compos i t ion with Ingolf Da hi. He h a s received his first contract to c o m p o s e a mo\ ' ie score in Hol lywood and has a con-tract to m a k e a n a lbum tor Co-lumbia records .

The Student Church

invites you to take part in an Easter fast from noon on Good Friday, to six a.m. Easter Sunday morning.

Why fast?

To demonstrate

a state of mourning for the condition of ourselves, our society, and our world - which do not love.

To demonstrate

a belief that the man Jesus who was the Christ died and in so doing set for us the ultimate example of forgiving and self-giving love.

And to demonstrate

a determination, in this world which exists in the light of his death and resurrection, to live, with His help, the responsibilities of love and forgiveness which His act places on us.
