Brauer listed the reasons behind the IFC decision as "too much evidence of gross indignities placed on individual pledges in the var- ious fraternities and the fact that these stand in direct opposition to the basic Christian concepts of human decency." "Let me hasten to add," Brauer continued, "that I feel that the public concept of initiating a man into a frat is in itself good, but that the IFC represents five frat- ernities on a Christian campus and has to consider some of the Christian concepts for which the college stands." The IFC president admitted that such concepts may be different in each man's mind, but felt that, "we^iave to stop to reflect on the More than five times the number of students negative on the drink- ing question feel definitely that Hope's abstinence policy should be changed liberally. Reporting on the survey of board- ing students taken by himself and senior Dick Newhouse, junior Larry Haverkamp told Senate Tuesday night that 62 of 340 women, 31 of 274 m e n polled felt that the rule should remain. "Some students felt that minors would thus be encouraged to drink because it would be easier for their older friends to purchase alcoholic beverages. Others felt just the opposite that a ruling Chat would allow open, honest drinking would encourage people over 21 to drink in bars where, of course, minors may not be served fact that initiation practices on Hope's campus may not be the best." In summing up the IFC position. Brauer stated, "We do not believe that a meaningful initiation can be held until at least some of these questions have been answered. It v/as upon this point that the Inter- Fraternity Council voted to sus- pend initiation activities. Again, let me hasten to point out that this decision is not binding on the future of fraternities. We are sim- ply trying to begin at the begin- ning to think out the rationale behind the basic concepts of ini- tiation." The consensus of the majority of frat men appears to Brauer to be that the initiation was called off due to a few isolated incidents, among them the fact that Allegan County police set up a road block as a result of a misunderstanding occurring over "rides," the fact under Michigan law," stated Hav- erkamp. Other students stated that they thought drinking a "harmful out- let" to collegiate "frustrations." The majority stated that the choice should be left up to the student. The poll also questioned whether students had "ever had a drink during the school year." Of the women reporting, 147 of 377 had, as had 188 of the 204 men. "The majority said that they drink 'sel- dom' as opposed to drinking 'oc- casionally' or 'often,' said Haver- kamp. "We recognize the limitations of this survey but submit the sta- tistics as the only ones valid," he added. The report will be read to Student Life Committee. that property damage occurred at Phelps Hall as a direct result of initiation activities, the fact that the Kollen Hall initiation policy was broken by three fraternities. However, Brauer emphasized that these incidents were actually not considered in the decision to call off Hell Week. "The reason these incidents were not factors in the decision is that such incidents are violations of the regulations set up by the IFC (not the admin- istration) and as such are subject to the punitive machinery of the IFC," he stated. "Whereas the in- cidents were sufficient enough, perhaps, to modify Hell Week ac- tivities, they were not sufficient in themselves to merit a complete cancellation of Hell Week activit- ies." In the near future IFC plans to send letters to the IFC's of 25 - 30 other schools asking for informa- tion on their initiation practices. Open forums for frat men to dis- cuss the role of frat initiations on the Christian campus may also be held. Work Day Student Christian Association has scheduled a work day April 25 to clean up the Holland City Mission. Volunteers will paint, wash windows, s c r n b floors and chairs. There will be sign-up lists in each residence hall for those interested.

This is the third year that Mor- tarBoard, the national senior wom- en's honorary society, has spon- sored Last Chance Talks. Two years ago Dr. D.

Statistics Show Desire for Change Of Student Drinking Regulations SCA Mission Drive April 20-24 Aims To Aid School in Alabama Presidential Candidates Present Views by Bob Anderson I have one main purpose in writ- ing this article to encourage you to further study next week during the period of active cam- paigning on the platforms and personalities involved in the race for Student Senate President. By way o introduction, I think that it would be best to cite just why I am running for this office. I feel that the Senate does act and can do more in aiding the student to become more purposefully in- volved in the life of our college community and the world around us. With this basic goal in mind, I am quite anxious to lead the Student Senate for the next school year. In my platform which will bejpresented Monday morning, I wiBbring before you specific areas where changes will enhance the opportunity for student involve- ment. The general concept of what the Senate should be can only be evaluated in terms of specific points of improvement. The ideas I will present are promising, feas- ible and realistic. The Senate then as the voice of the student body carries a heavy responsibility of not only setting up activities but also in reflecting student opinion to the administra- tion and faculty. I firmly believe that reflective student opinion with relation to the school, its rules and its future should be strengthened and more vehement, yet at the same time this opinion must be presented with an increasing sense of responsibility. With a highly successful year un- der our year-old Constitution, we can cite some real positive steps which were taken: the establish- ment of a Student Union and the decision to join the National Stu- dent .Association. These two pro- jects must continue and grow in the coming year. The program of the Student Union must be extend- ed and its future seriously pattern- } W li| BOB ANDERSON ed. We must also be sure that the National Student Association pro- vides a meaningful service for our student body. In closing let me say that I await with eagerness the opportunity to serve as President of the Student Senate for next year. Candidates Bob Anderson and Bruce Neck- ers, candidates for the office of president of Student Senate, ex- press their opinions on current issues of Hope College in the fol- lowing articles. Bob Anderson, presently presi- dent of the junior class, is a mem- ber of Student Senate and was elected from the senate to its ex- ecutive committee. Member of history honor fraternity, he has also been a member of the judical board of the Knickerbocker frat- ernity. Bruce Neckers is presently serv- ing as treasurer of Student Senate. Neckers has also been vice-presi- dent of his class in 1963-64 and treasurer of his class in 1961-62, and is a member of the Cosmopol- itan fraternity. by Bruce Neckers It has been my pleasure to have served on what has been a unique Student Senate this year. Having also served on the Student Senate the year before, I have been for- tunate enough to witness a change firsthand. The Student Senate has been active in campus affairs in years past, but the increase in this effective activity has only been accentuated this year by both a new Student Senate Constitution and a new and very interested BRUCE NECKERS college president. The Student Sen- ate has considered and accomplish- ed tasks this year that would not even have been considered in prior years. This year the Senate authorized a Student Court to hear and judge cases involving fellow students. The success of this court, the bring- ing of a nationally famous record- ing group to campus, and danc- ing in the student union are only three of the more obvious succes- ses of the year. The growth of Hope College can- not be oniy a growth in campus population. It must be a growth that encompassess all campus ac- tivities and all student functions. This growth should not mean more students, but rather it should mean more for the students. This growth naturally involves an increased responsibility on the part of the Student Senate. It is this student government that should be the first campus organization to real- ize this growth and do something with it. Organizations that have a significant campus purpose such as the NSA should be offered to the student body for their use. It is this campus growth that to- gether we must all look forward to. work with, and enjoy. This is a time when "A Posse Ad Esse" from Possibility to Reality) has a great significance. The possibilit- ies are there and their realization will come.

Democratic Gubernatorial Hopeful Speaks to Students, Professors

J&s Barbara Freggens Labeled the "a rch i tec t of v ic tory"

for the Democra t ic Par ty of Michi-gan, Mr. Neil Staebler, Congress-man-at- large for the s tate of Michi-gan, and Democrat ic candidate for Governor visited the campus Sat-urday.

Speaking to a group of s tudents and professors on Saturday after-noon, Staebler discussed national issues. He feels that with the re-cent tax out passed by Congress our economic growth can move ev-en fas te r than in past years . There ape lots of tools with which to work, e m p h a s i z e d Congress-man Staebler and there is an es-pecially big challenge surrounding ihe issues of education, jobs and civil r ights.

In reply to a question about the recent proposed raise in pay for member s of Congress, Staebler an-swered, "I can speak very object-ively on this question, since 1 won't be in Congress next y e a r . " This in turn brought applause f rom the m e m b e r s of the audience who

support his candidacy for gover-nor. Congressmen always w nt to be on the s a m e level of authori ty as the people with whom they have to communica te and they find this hard with a lower pay sca le . How-ever , Staebler doesn' t think it in good taste to ra i se their pay in the imiddle of a t e rm.

Speaking on the much debated seniority sys tem of Congress, Staebler s tated that there a r e two possible ways to reform the sys-tem in the House of Representa t i -ves. The f irs t method of r e fo rm could be done within Congress with the adoption of a "Twenty-One Day Rule ' and a r e fo rm of the com-mit tee cha i rman sys tem. The oth-er way is by far the most effect-ive ," said Staebler . "This is through the people. Anyone can effect Congress by gett ing active polit ically," emphasized the Con-gressman.

Later in the evening a dinner was held in Phelps Hall for Staeb-ler with approximate ly 280 Dem-ocra ts at tending.

Student Senate Recommends

Changes in Grades, Calendar Changes in the school ca lendar

and in the method of g rade point marking were recommended at Tuesday 's Sen te meeting.

In report ing on Educat ional Policies Commit tee , Arcadian Sen-ator La r ry Have rkamp defined a recommendat ion which the com-mit tee feels would bet ter exact mark ing . Instead of the present sys tem of mark ing a s t ra ight one, two, three or four-point for grades , a plus g rade would receive 3/10 more t h . n the point; a minus grade, 3/10 less.

The commit tee will mee t at 4 p.m. on Tuesday at which t ime Haverkaimp will deliver any stu-dent opinion besides the Sena te ' s approval .

Recommended to the Student Life Commit tee are changes in the school ca lendar . A ca lendar re-form p rogram drawn up by the Senates ' executive commit tee slim-med al l -campus events that mus t s tand alone on the calendar down to eight. " In this way , " explained President Mouw, "act ivi t ies that do not include the ent i re campus will bat t le for dates left empty and the vice-president of Senate won't have to continually m a k e a rb i t r a ry decisions."

The eight untouchable activit-ies a r e the Homecoming and May Day dances , Nykerk competit ion. All College Sing, Spiritual Life Week convocations, selected school speakers , " M e s s i a h " presenta t ions and Internat ional Night.

Reasons for the execut ive com-mi t tee ' s decisions include the fac t that the re a r e too many activit ies for each to hold a date alone; smal-ler activities m a y block out m o r e popular ones.

Mouw, before closing his f inal Senate meet ing, explained tha t the official ca lendar will be open for activities to wri te in meet ing t imes

on the first day of school. The eight dates will be marked in red, all else in black. F ra te rn i ty and sorority formals and inform-a l will be settled by a joint meet-ing of Pan-Hellenic Board and In te r -Fra te rn i ty Council.

$200 Grant Given

To Psych Dept.

By GR Church The Psychology Depar tment has

been the recipient of a $200 g ran t f rom the Young Adult Fellowship Group and the Adult Sunday School Class of Hope Reformed Church in Grand Rapids, according to an announcement f rom Dr. Rober t F . DeHaan, cha i rman of the Psychol-ogy Depa r tmen t .

The purpose of the check is to enable DeHaan to complete a study of children and adolescence in the Reformed Church. The study was begun during the s u m m e r of 1963 at Camp Geneva. Over 2500 camper s answered questions on a quest ionnaire designed in the Psy-chology Depar tment . Data f rom these quest ionnaires are now be-ing tabluated and interpreted by Thomas McNeil, senior psychology m a j o r .

"We hope to be able to find out in a rough way what young people in the Reformed Church think of their church, their relationship to God and other aspects of their religious l i fe ." s tated DeHaan.

"Although our da t a are ra ther crude and general , we will a t least be able to m a k e a s t a r t toward finding out what the experiences of young people are. From studies such as this, it is hoped tha t an improved p rog ram in the church and fami ly living can be forth-coming."

celled for the event, which is spon-sored by AWS and the Cultural Affairs commit tee . Dr . Duvall, who received her doctor 's degree f rom the Universi ty of Chicago, is the author of "When You M a r r y ; " "Sense and Nonsense about S e x ; " "The Art of Dat ing" and "Being Marr ied ," available a t Van Zoeren l ibrary.

From 7-8 p.m. Dr. 'Duvall will lead an informal discussion with Hope women in Winants auditor-ium.

According to Arlene Arends, president , AWS plans to present prominent American women to the campus annually.

William Stafford Evaluates Art of Poetry Dr. Remak of iv by Susan Spring

"Anyt ime you want to inter-rupt, go ahead. But don' t out of kindness—I'm well p r epa red . " And he was, as poet-teacher William Stafford spoke to s tudents and fac-ulty in a soft drawl of opinion and definition and examples of his art .

Stafford was on a tour of mid-west colleges, taking leave f rom his English teaching post at Lewis

vtt 'f-mm

j

WILLIAM STAFFORD

and Clark College in Por t land , Ore. His collection of work, "Trav-eling Through the Dark , " received a National Book Award.

"In writing, what ' s important are the little things. It doesn' t do any good to write with big ideas —it's the little coherences that count ." However, Stafford contin-ued, "a work lives and is coherent by virtue of consistencies. I don't believe that a r t is chaot ic ."

"Poe t ry doesn't have to rhyme . . . but it should ch ime . " Staf-ford explained that a poet t r ies to weave in sounds, a s does a prose writer . In one poem he closes with the words "God knows." "I feel a little guilty about closing with such sure fire ingredients ," he said, "but I feel that the sound is built up to and that the r h y m e is r ight ."

In answer to the question of the worth of young poets romping into f r ee verse, Stafford didn' t hesi-ta te . "This, to me, is trivial in a field where there a re so many kinds of hazards . I believe people ought to be reckless.

"My main s tandard of evaluat ion for poetry, aside f rom my own feeling, is whether or not others accept it. For most of us this is r a t he r b leak," he said with a smile.

However, at another point, Staf-

ford was heard to jest that al-though "cr i t ics claim to do ex-t re ne things . . . they are easily fooled."

In regard to the poets of today, Stafford p re fe r s men such as Phil-lip Larkin, Robert Penn Warren . "All the people I know who a re writing poetry look at that pub-lished now with bleakness. The best can be found in English cour-ses, of cou r se ! "

Stafford felt it obvious that a poet may not communicate. "You take the s a m e danger as telling d reams . Some Freudian may come along and say ' aha ! ' " A poet is totally responsible for what he says, and yet there ' s a wonderful f reedom. We're all in it together. The language and our experience just snow all of the t ime. And wri ters m a k e snowballs ."

Father David Cargill Discusses Christian in Modern Society A IRC Examines Peace

" T h e Pecul iar Ones , " t heme of the Student Christ ian Association's religious emphasis this week was highlighted by the visit to cam-pus of the Rev. David C. Cargill .

Cargill, the Execut ive Secre ta ry of the Province of New England and Provincial Secre ta ry for Col-lege Work in the Episcopal Church, spoke on the theme in three morn-ing chapel services.

Beginning the emphas is on Mon-day, he spoke of "fools for Chris t ' s s ake , " re fe r r ing to St. Pau l ' s let-ters to Corinth and their applica tion to our generat ion as "chosen ones ."

Cargill went on to say tha t "we a r e caught up with meaningless-ness" in our modern society, and that we must be willing to set our-selves apar t f rom the absurdi t ies of life today if we a r e to live as effect ive Christ ians.

In connection with the theme the J a p a n e s e f i lm, Kurosawa ' s " I k i r u " (To Live!) w a s shown Monday evening and again Tues-day af ternoon. The fi lm tel ls of the search for the meaning of life by a m a n who discovers that he is dying of cancer .

by Jackie Joseph and Paul Tanis

The Seventeeth Annual Assoc-iation of International Relations Clubs Conference was held at the Sheraton-Chicago Hotel, Chicago, Illinois, April 1 - 4.

Twenty-four s ta tes , Canada, and Puer to Rico were represented by a total of 140 delegates from 58 colleges. Hope delegates Jack ie Joseph, Wes Michaelson, J im Ron-da, John 'Dryfhout and Paul Tanis were accompanied by l o c a l ' IRC advisor Dr. Paul Fried.

The conference opened with a banquet featur ing an official greet-ing f rom the honorable Otto Kern-er . Governor of Illinois and an address by Mr. George Bond, Gen-eral Council of the US Arms Con-trol and Di sa rmamen t Agency.

Bond, in discussing US involve-ment in d i sa rmament , pointed out a number of pract ical lessons learned by the government in deal-ing with Russia in this a rea . A-rnong these were 1) We must keep our defenses strong, 2) we must seek agreement on the basis of common interest , such as the fea r of a general w a r or the spread of nuclear weapons, 3) we mus t progress by means of limited measures , such as the Test Ban Trea ty , 4) we must realize the continuing mutual dis t rust on the pa r t s of both the US and Russia, and 5) we must keep negotiat ions and proposals for d i s a r m a m e n t alive.

Thursday morning the delegates were addressed by Dr. Kendell C. Burns , Professor of International Law at John Marshall Law School; Dr. Burns ' topic was " P e a c e -Keeping E-fforts of the UN," con-cent ra t ing on efforts to overcome the difficult ies within the UN char te r . He s ta ted that while there have been severa l e f for ts to over-come these dificulties such as the a t t empt to shift power f rom the Security Council to the General Assembly and the a t t empt to ex-pand the power of the Secretary-General , the inherent difficulty remains — the fac t tha t the UN is a collection of independent, sov-ereign s ta tes .

That af ternoon the conference topic, "World Peace through World Law," was presented by a two-m a n panel composed of Mr. J e r r y Voorhis, Executive Director of the Cooperative League and Dr. Don-ald Frey , lawyer, author and lec-lurer.

Voorhis spoke of the horrible legacy of nuclear th rea t and in-

ternat ional unres t his generat ion is pass .ng on to this with no fore-seeable hope of avoiding culmina-tion of the present a r m s race in an ail-out nuclear war which would render the world uninhabitible. The UN cannot solve this d i l e m m a hut it is the best force a t the pres-ent t i m e to a t t empt a solution.

Frey agreed with Voorhis about the horrible inher i tance of the younger generation, but spoke op-timisticaLy ai)out fu tu re world events. He s ta ted that all m e n n.ust ac t like world citizens in their own local communit ies in order to achieve world peace ; survival of the human r^ce i sn ' t a g rea t enough common interest today to achieve international har -mony.

The answer seen by Frey is the f reedom and unity of all mankind as a key for unlocking the s t rength and mora l power lying in all m e n . The a l t e rna . ive to a nihilism was seen as a broad concept of law based on education, communica t -ion and organization, involving vol-untary ag reemen t s for the equal-ity of opportunity for all m e n between nations.

F r iday morning a panel com-posed of Dr. Abb^s Kessel, naLve of I ran and experienced analyst of new trends in world a f f a i r s ; Mr. Keki Bhote, part-tiime corres-pondent for J a m e - J a m s h e d (Bom-bay n e w s p a p e r ) ; Dr. St. Clair Drake, professor at Roosevelt Uni-versity and res ident of Ghana fo r five yea r s ; and Mr. Mar t in F . Peya, fo rmer Cuban diplomat, dis-cussed "The Developing Nations and World P e a c e through World Law."

Kesel, in introducing the topic, pointed out tha t the a t t empts to

super impose the Nor thern Eur-opean way of life upon the develop-ing nat ions of the world had com-p.etely sha t t e r ed their own nation-al cui tures . He s ta ted tha t these nat ions no longer have a mode of exis tence that is their own and must a t t empt to re -crea te wha t exis ts in the West. In discussing the difiicuities involved, he point-ed out the re was no sense of "We-ness" between the Western and non-Western worlds — no com-mon goals. Kessei concluded that there is no consensus for worxi law while the cul tural and economic d . l emnas exist.

Bhote, in discussing the develop-ment of the Theory of Nuclear De te rmen t , pointed out tha t both ' wor lds" are no longer monoiithic cen te r s of power but contain fac-tions which show independence of a c t o n . He s ta ted that we were in a period of the "post-Cold W a r " — m e emerg ing of a "Cold P e a c e . " One of the m j o r th rea t s to peace was the factor of nat ional ism.

Turning to the a rea ot Asia, Bhote agreed that the a t t e m p t s to develop aiong Western lines was not a complete b.essing and point-ed to the UiN as an ins t rument to channel the forces ot inuepenaence and nat ional ism rampanc in Asia,

m De Vries Hero Seeks Religion by John Mulder

("The Blood of the Lamb" is a novel by Peter De Vries. It is published in paperback by Signet Books.

Mr. Mulder is a freshman from Chicago who intends to major in English and philosophy.)

" I s Deity wili ng to prevent evil, but not ab 'e? Then He is not om-nipotent. Is He able, but not will-

ing? Then He is malevolent. Is He both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is He neither able nor willing? Then why call Him Deity?"

These were the words of David Hume, skeptic of the eighteenth century who yearned, as men have for ages, to resolve the conflict between God and the presence of

'MISSA EGLISIA' — Robert Werge and Katherine Lenel portray two characters in Jennifer MeGilvray's much traveled pantomime.

McGilvray's Play To Continue Tour

With Stops at Kalamazoo, Olivet "Missa Egl i s ia" (formerly titled

' This Way Out" ) , a religious dra-ma by sophomore Jennifer Mc Gilvray will be presented this weekend by its Hope cast as pa r t of Olivet College's Fine Arts Fes-tival, at the invitation of Bill Beard, director of theatre at Oli-vet.

Cast m e m b e r s Alan Jones, Don-ald Kardux, Katherine Lenel, Car-ole Timkovich, Kathleen Verduin and Robert Werge, accompanied by David Kars ten , Hope director of thea t re . Miss McGilvray and crew member s Becky Allen and J a m e s Howell will present the play tonight and tomorrow at Oli-vet and then leave for Kalamazoo

College for a Sunday afternoon performance at the request of the Kalamazoo commit tee on s tudent religious activities.

A semi-liturgical pantomime in a musical sett ing, "Missa Egli-s i a" was originally presented in the Hope Little Theatre Dec. 15. Pe r fo rmances followed at Hope Church in Holland, St. Mary ' s Col-lege, Notre Dame, Ind., and at Episcopal churches in St. Joseph and Saugatuck. Last night it was viewed hy the local chapter of the American Association of Uni-versi ty Women.

"Missa Egl is ia" will be pre-sented as par t of the Hope Fine Arts Festival May 2.

evil in the world. Known previously for his bril-

liant, sat i r ical sketches of Ameri-can life, Pe t e r De Vries in "The Blood of the L a m b " weaves his wit into a story which deals with this s a m e conflict. The age-old struggle is personalized in the charac te r of Don Wanderhope, a man wanting to be religious but finding he cannot.

Satire

For De Vries this novel was a distinct turn-about in his l i terary a t tempts . He has never been di-rectly serious, but instead exposed the foibles of life by being, as he puts it, " t h e filter between life as it appea r s and life as it i s ." Even in "The Blood of the L a m b , " De Vries does not lose his sar-cast ic wit and sense of sat i re .

He describes his or r a the r Don Wanderhope 's life (the two be-come fused) in the restr ict ive at-mosphere of the Dutch communi ty near Chicago. He tells of a neighbor and her reaction to one chaotic scene in the Wanderhope home. "A neighbor addicted to opening the Bible at random for guidance in t imes of s t ress took ours f rom the shelf and read aloud into the din. 'Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe . . . "

He tells of Don's fa ther who in his doubt refused to accept God until Don contracted tuberculosis. A Reformed Church sani tar ium in Colorado was the only remedy financially. Thus in a moment of divine inspiration his "historic decision for Christ" was m a d e and everyone gathered around to sing "Bringing in the Sheaves ."

By far De Vries' power in de-scribing the ridiculous reaches its high point in the description of Wanderhope and his fa ther dump-ing garbage from their "Sani ta ry Sani tat ion" truck. The two and the truck slipped into the pit f rom which Wanderhope 's fa ther came to the su r f ace periodically declar-ing "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, f rom whence cometh my

help" or intoning the Doxology and "wearing, like a beret , one half a cantaloupe r ind ."

Boyhood Two-thirds of the ent i re book

are devoted to Wanderhope 's nar-ra t ive of his boyhood, his days at the University of Chicago, his loves, his m a r r i a g e and finally the birth of his daughte r . All tha t is significant for the mea t of the book is that his skepticism was founded in his fa ther , a brother who died in college and his rela-tionship with a girl who died af ter he became deeply in love with her.

All the anecdotes, all the witty tongue-in-cheek accounts of Wan-derhopes 's previous life tell us nothing pert inent of the real plot except that Don Wanderhope was a man who suffered and found that because of his suffer ing he could not accept God as one who is good and just. The first two-thirds of the book are, a s Granvil le Hicks said, "a lmost totally i r re levant . "

The last third of the book deals w th Wanderhope and his beauti-ful, charming, intelligent daughter for whom he lives and devotes his life. The daughter is s tr icken with leukemia and out of this comes Wanderhope's confrontat ion with evil, seemingly unjus t suffer ing and God.

In his tr ips to the clinic with his daughter , Don meets a Jewish man in the s a m e position as he who declares , "What baff les m e is the comfort people f :nd in this idea that someone dealt this mess. Blind and meaningless chance seems so much more congenial — at least less horrible. Prove to me that there is a God and I will really begin to despa i r . "

Don Wanderhope, however, can-not be this hard and constantly seeks out the consolation of reli-gion. De Vries' resolution of his s truggle a f t e r the d e a f h of his daughter is that Wanderhope be-lieves in man and by showing this De Vries hopes to show he believes in something more .

Sensitivity Pete r De Vries tells this all with

sensitivity. In reading of Wander-hope's s truggle, one 's hear t cries and laughs with abandonment . The story is told sensitively, but it is not sheer sentiment. The r eade r ' s sense of De Vries' closeness to the plot is not without justification because his own daughter died of leukemia just as Carol Wander-hope did. It is out of this experi-ence that he writes — movingly, meaningfully and with dignity.

However, as I have hinted be-fore, De Vries' novel is not perfect — no, far f rom it. Try as I did, I could not get rid of the bad tas te in my mouth f rom the anecdotal nature of the first par t of the book. The book, though subtly unified, has no intrinsic unification.

De Vries, both in his organiza-tion and his style, has somewhat of a "buckshot" approach. His events a re seemingly disconnected and his words s eem to be thrown out with little concern for choosing the best words in a given passage. His style seems to b e too much like that of a high school senior, impressed with an enlarged vo-cabulary and out to play with words.

Even the conclusion seemed , if not unified, at le^st improbable. De Vries connects the plot in such a way as to lead Wanderhooe's aff i rmat ion of man , but somehow is just does not rin^ true. Winder-hope was not a m a n content with easy answers and the sudden res-olution is a little phony.

In spite of all these faults, the lack of unity, his style, the improb-able conclusion. De Vries speaks to us as human beings seeking as Donald Wanderhope to reconcile ourselves to a world of conflict— a world where God is just and good but where little girls die of leu-kemia and " the wicked prosper . " Any novelist who can express the depth of human h e a r t ' s grief as well as De Vries dese rves praise.

Man Faces Death, Sees Beauty of Life by Tom Wombwell

(The Japanese film "Ikiru" ("To Live") was shown Monday and Tuesday as part of the Spiritual Life Week program on campus.

The Sand Piper

Behold - The Beetles by Donald Kardux

It happened while I was walking through the pine grove on a ra iny ni.ght. Someone -called out my name .

"Hey, you!" Not seeing anyone around, I im-

mediately anticipated the next re-mark and defiantly asser ted my rights as an individual.

" I t is no one 's business but my own whether I brush a f t e r every meal or what tooth pas te I u se . "

There was a long pause and then the voice rang out again.

" I was going to ask who you were, but judging f rom the stupid reply I a s sume you a re the one who calls himself the "Sandp ipe r . "

I am never one to quibbie over connotative meanings of words, if the general fac ts a r e c lear ; there-fore, I replied, " I a m he, of whom you speak ."

" I s it t rue tha t you have given up the search for ul t imate t r u t h s ? " the voice asked.

" Y e s , " I replied, " I have fjlven up such foolishness and am now looking for interest ing bits and sna tches of life to present to my reade r s . "

"Sit down in the damp grass , for I have something to o f f e r , " the voice said.

I sat and, as it began to speak, I realized that the voice s eemed to be caming f rom under a dead branch. This is what the voice sa id :

"Once upon a t ime in the Land of the Mitten lived a group of Beetles. They lived by a grea t sea which almost surrounded this land of the Mitten. These beetles were direct descendants of another group of beetles who c a m e f rom the land of the high wet wall many years ago. The reason for their leaving the land of the high wet wall is not clear , bu t some say it had to do with a boy who pulled his finger out of the wall because it was cold, wet and stiff. (I assumed he mean t the f inger.)

The beetles in this new Land of the Mitten did not Sing as other beetles do today. They did not smile or laugh but waiked around with long sad faces which soon gave them a reputation of being unpleasant , unhappy and almost un—everything. Some say that the reason for this s ta te of a f fa i r s was because of the i r belief tha t the sky might fall any m o m e n t and crush them all. At any r a t e like many beetles of the world they celebrated every spring. This cel-ebration centered around a color-

ful f r a g r a n t plant which they be-lieved blossomed every spring if the sky was not to fall on them. Seeing the bi r th of this plant as a t empora ry t ime of safe ty , the beetles held a celebration in which they par t ic ipated in activit ies that they never allowed themselves (or others) to indulge in during the res t of the year . They smiled, the> laughed, and they even danced in the s t ree ts , (although mixed danc-ing was not allowed.)

At first this cexebration was gen-uine. The beetles were real ly hap-py and they celebrated for their own enjoyment . However, a s the >ears passed, other beetles f rom surrounding towns came and wat-ched them celebra te . Soon, they were celebrat ing just to be watch-ed and weren ' t having fun any-more.

Now they still smile but it is a forced smile; they laugh but it is a hollow laugh and dance but it is a dance without joy ."

"Tha t is a ve ry sad s t o ry , " I r emarked , "What are you going to do about i t ? "

"Noth ing ," the voice repl ied. "1 can ' t be bothered with beet les —they ' re coleoptera ~ my special-ity is s t agmomat i s Carolina."

The film stars Takishi Shimira, and is directed by Akira Kurosa-wa.)

Kanji Watanabi comes to t e r m s with two truths in the fi lm " Ik i ru . " "Life is beautiful only when man comes face to f ace with dea th . " "The lust for life is a v i r tue . "

Af ter thirty y e a r s of work and boredom, and spi r i tua l dying, the x-rays reveal a mal ignan t cancer and the imminent physical death of Mr. Watanabi , the Chief of the Citizens Section of the (unnamed) city government . The story then deals with the ways in which he seeks to make mean ingfu l the last six months of his life.

Ironically, yet fa i thful to the human condition it seems, his f i rs t reaction is to self-indulgence which he knows to be suicidal. With the young novelist who has the words but not the matur i ty to match them, he becomes caught up in the rhythms, the blaring brasses and the shouts and laught-e r of a never-was past . Still life rushes around and past him.

He next turns to the young girl f rom his office whose vitality and heal th severely cont ras t his des-pair and decay. She is able to ac-count for his son, Mitsuo 's mis-understanding and lack of appre-ciation for the sacr i f ice of the fa ther ' s life. Somehow it s eems in the na ture of the r ace t ha t the f a the r give up his life for the son who because he cannot comp-rehend, does not apprec ia te , until pe rhaps he becomes the f a t h e r .

Salvation Watanabi , like a drowning man ,

is s t ruggling for something to hold on to, but he rea l izes t ha t it is not the youth or heal th of which

the girl is an image. Rather , his salvation is achieved by finding in his work a means of bet ter ing his fellows' condition, by converting an infested swamp into a more san-i tary park . Not, however, by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

The final reel of the film, in the sett ing of a 'kazoku' (or kind of memor ia l service) ra ises a serious problem. After a t tempt ing to de-termine what the driving force of Watanabi ' s zeal was in creat ing the park, his assembled associates conclude that it was his knowledge of his coming death . As their emo-tions a r e s t imulated they decide that "compared to Watanabi we are mere ly human t r a s h . " And with sake - soaked brains they p.edge not to let his death have been in vain.

But when the fog has c leared and their Section is reques ted to meet another human need, a sew-er - flooded playground, they are immobile.

Interpretation On the one hand, the fi lm seems

to reemphas ize the depravi ty , the frai l ty , the hypocrisy of man . This to some would be an agreeable if not wholly valid interpretat ion. But it would weaken the validity of the work as s ignif icant a r t .

I should like to posit, on the other hand, an added interpretat-ion. On this view the film is . ssert-ing that devoid of an existential confrontat ion with the fac t of death there is no meaningful involve-ment in life. Only with a real awareness of death is there a lust for life. The validity of the film as a r t res ts in the implimentation of this awarenes of the universali ty

and imminence of death .

Senators and The Poll Coining Events

FRIDAY, APRIL 17

Last Chance Talk: Dr. E d w a r d Savage , Chapel, 7:15 p .m.

Senator La r ry H a v e r k a m p revealed to the Student Sena te Tuesday the long awai ted re-sults of the poll on s tudent opinion on the college dr inking regulat ions .

The survey of boarding s tuden t s showed that of the 274 men polled, 243 (89%) thought that "Hope s tuden t s over 21 should be given the in-dividual responsibil i ty to decide whether or not they should d r ink . " Of the 340 women polled, 278 (83%) held the s a m e opinion.

This m e a n s tha t 85% of the 614 s tudents polled felt that the present college ru le pro-hibiting such individual decision should be changed.

Is the poll valid? Yes. More than 600 stu-dents polled out of a s tudent body of approxi-ma te ly 1600 is cer tainly a l a rge enough per-cen tage to gain a valid view of s tudent opinion. The quest ions asked were short and " n e u t r a l ; " they did not lead the s tudents to answer in a given way. And the overwhelming m a j o r i t y of s tudents polled in favor of 3 change mus t indi ca te that even a complete polling of all s tudents would not r everse the m a j o r i t y opinion or dras-tically r educe the pe rcen tage of s tuden t s favor-ing a ru le change.

So now we know tha t a m a j o r i t y of s f u d e n t s feel tha t there should be a change . Where do we go f rom here? Or r a t h e r , where should the Student Senate be going f r o m h e r e ?

The Student Senate is a " d e m o c r a t i c " rep-resenta t ional organization. It served to act on the behalf of the s tudent body wh'ch has elected it. If the ma jo r i ty of the s tudents a o o e a r to be in favor of a change, the S 'udent Sena te should propose a change. A resolution or r e c o m m e n d a -

tion should h a v e been ra i sed be fo re the Senate for discussion and voting.

The dr inking regulation issue has been ra ised severa l t imes this y e a r and in the pas t years . Nothing of a really concre te na tu re h a s ever been done, e i the r in the way of s tudent ini t iated, comprehens ive proposals for change or in a rea l ly sweeping definition of the ra t iona le of the college proposals . All well intent ioned be-ginnings have ended in sca t t e red s tudent g rum-blings of " M a y b e we a r e for change bu t we haven ' t got a chance of doing a n y t h i n g . "

Much of the problem on the s tudent side of the fence has been a m a t t e r of a lack of organ-ization a m o n g those who feel t ha t a change should t ake place. Now tha t the p resen t poll has indicated the s tudent m a j o r i ' y opinion, the Student Sena te should act as the organiza t ional basis for r ecommending change . At the very least , the Student Senate should set up a reso-lution to be decided by s tudent r e f e r e n d u m .

The Student Senate should presen t a c lear ly defined position of the s tudent body on this issue.

What will this accompl i sh? It will provide the init iat ive for discussion and an open hashing out of involved p rob lems . It will r equ i r e a c lar i f icat ion of adminis t ra t ion posit ions. It will show tha t the Senate is wil l ;ng to r a i s e and bring to a valid conclusion cont rovers ia l issues on campus .

Where is the Senate going f rom h e r e ? It has s imply r ecommended tha t the f indings of the poll be read to the Student Life Comm ttee. The Student Senate has taken the e a s y way

out.

by Joe Bosworth

(Editor's note: For the next two weeks, pitcher Joe Bosworth will recount the b a s e b a l l team's spring trip adventures in the South.)

Even before the sun had risen on the morning of March 28, Hope bal lplayers and two coaches had boarded a motorcade of three ve-hicles and had s ta r ted t ravel ing southwards. This was the begin-ning of a nine day spr ing basebal l trip which brought the F ly ing Dutchmen up against some of the most pract iced t eams in Tennes-see and Indiana.

Staying pr imar i ly on the campus-es of Southwestern at Memphis , and Union Univ. at Jackson, Tenn. , the p layers were supplied with sleeping quar ters , meals , recre-ational activities and a good deal oi t radi t ional southern hospital i ty.

Finally on a crisp Monday morn-ing, March 30, Hope officially be-gan its ' 1964 season agains t North Pa rk of Chicago, another visiting small school. Behind the two hit pitching and timely hit t ing of Rog-er Kroodsma, the Dutchmen w e r e victorious.

In the af ternoon of the 30th, Hope took on the host school, Southwestern and the Dutch won their second straight g a m e by the score of 1-0. Glenn Van Wieren,

the s t ree ts of Memphis . On the follow.ng day, Hope again

m e t North P a r k in the morning but their hopes for a third s t ra ight victory was dashed by a scorching hit t ing a t tack on the p a r t of the Chicagoans, and North P a r k won eas i ly 14-3. In the af ternoon en-counter the Dutchmen again met with disaster as control problems on the par t of Gerry Schaap over-shadowed the fine pitching of J i m Van Til and Southwestern beat Hope in their r ema tch 9-8.

Undaunted, however, the Dutch-men looked forward to their g^mes with Memphis State and Notre Dame. Then on Wed. night, April 1, in the 72 degree heat of Memphis the Dutchmen took on Memphis State. The night ended on a sour note for the Dutch, however, as DeWrese struck out 15 men and Russ Vollmer hit a home run in leading MSU to a 4-2 vcitory over Hope. The Dutch did receive a t ine hitting and relief pitching per-fo rmance f rom Glenn Van Wieren, who followed losing pi tcher Joe Bosworth.

The Dutchmen had ended five games in three days with a 2-3 record. But with two g a m e s to go before the end of the tr ip the Dutch certainly hoped to boost their record back over the .500 m a r k .
