Campus considers beer tap in DeWitt Center I by Bob Roos For some Hope students, one of the more alluring prospects opened up by the lowering of the majority age in Michigan to 18 is that of the sale of alcohol in the DeWitt Cultural Center. INVESTIGATION last week revealed that such a development, though by no means certain, must be regarded as a serious possibility when the new law takes effect Jan. 1. At present there appears to be substantial faculty support for al- cohol in the DCC. In an informal poll conducted by the anchor, 25 randomly selected faculty mem- bers were asked this question: 11 Are you in favor of the installa- tion of a beer tap in the student center after the new majority age law takes effect?" THE RESULTS were 1 1 in favor, eight opposed and six un- decided. The profs' responses were accompanied by amused, paternalistic laughter in some cases, by expressions of hearty approval in others. Questioned about the status of the idea in official circles, Dean of Students Robert DeYoung said that ''nothing definite" has been said or done yet. However, he said that the possibility has been "dis- cussed" by the student personnel stall. "I've talked with some stu- dent leaders about it," he added. anc OPE COLLEGE or OLLAND, MICHIGAN DE YOUNG WENT on to say that 4t we need to study the idea properly-as a community, all the aspects of what drinking will con- tribute to the atmosphere must be examined." He expressed a belief that Campus Life Board consid- eration of the possibility may result in a study by the Student Conduct Committee. He said he felt that the ques- tion will be decided through the usual channels, with the SCC making a recommendation to the CLB, followed by a CLE vote. A decision is ''possible, but not pro- bable before January," DeYoung indicated. ASKED WHETHER he was personally opposed to the sale of alcohol in the DCC, DeYoung replied, "1 haven't really thought about the specific advantages or disadvantages of the thing. I would think students might want to drink off campus where there'd be more of a choice." He indicated, however, that the college might perhaps profit from the operation of a beer tap in the DCC. ASSOCIATE Dean of Students Michael Gerrie and Assistant Dean of Students Nona Kipp expressed views similar to those of DeYoung when questioned about the issue of alcohol in the DCC. "Before the college institutes such a po- licy, a lot of input is needed from a lot of sources," Gerrie said, and added, "Right now I don't see any advantages in the idea." Miss Kipp expressed doubts about the probable popularity of the sale of alcohol on campus. She said that at Denver University, where she worked previously, the downstairs of the Student Union was made into a bar, an idea which proved largely unsuccessful. "They couldn't make ends meet- students wanted to go elsewhere. But that was in more of an urban setting than here," she said. GERRIE SAID the alcohol question will go through the same decision-making channels as the guest privileges. He indicated that he doesn't think it will pass at this time. The distribution of student opinion on the alcohol issue has not yet been determined. Student CLB member Tim Fritz said that the idea was mentioned briefly at recent CLB and Student Congress meetings, but discussion was in- adequate to bring out student attitudes. FRITZ SAID that his own con- tacts have indicated student opin- ion to be split fairly evenly. He added that the CLB is planning to distribute a questionnaire to gauge student opinion within two or three weeks. But the final decision as to whether alcohol will be sold on campus is one that will not be left to the college alone. II the idea were approved by the campus government and was not blocked by a Board of Trustees' veto, the college would still have to obtain a liquor license through regular legal channels. According to Hol- land City Manager William Bopf, that could be difficult. BOPF SAID THE college- would first have to contact the state liquor control commission. A state law formerly prohibited the sale of alcohol within 500 feet ot an educational institution or church.

A. Brakely and to Robert Pierpont of the Brakely Company, a New York marketing Company. He hopes to ascertain by Mary Houting The economy is to blame for "a very tight" job market for prospective teachers, says Hope's new coordinator of teacher place- ment, Mrs. Myra Zuverink. THREE OR four years ago, students graduating with a teach- ing certificate had their choice of jobs, as school superintendents came to Hope in increasing num- bers to sell their products: their schools, she stated. Now the situa- tion is reversed. Last year only 17 superinten- dents visited Hope to interview prospective teachers, compared with 38 the year before, Mrs. Zuverink revealed. "We expect the job market to be just as tight this year, if not tighter," she added. "Now we must sell our product: the stu- dent." TO FACILITATE this task, the education department has ap- pointed Mrs. Zuverink to the new- ly created post of coordinator of teacher placement. Her job is to arrange interviews between stu- dent teachers and school superin- tendents responsible for hiring new teachers. Mrs. Zuverink stated that to accomplish this she must "go out and make personal contact" with superintendents. The education department has also published a booklet listing every graduating senior holding a teaching certifi- cate and his credentials, which will be sent to 400 superinten- dents all over the country. IN ADDITION TO the econ- omy, Mrs. Zuverink blames the reduction of openings in both elementary and secondary schools on the failure of millages to be passed, the tendency of present teachers to "stay put" and the stabilization of the post- World War II "baby-boom," while more and more teachers are being trained. Out of 149 certified teachers graduated in the class of 1971,73 per cent were placed in education positions, revealed Lamont Dirkse, chairman of the education department. Ninety-seven ob- tained teaching positions, in- cluding a few substitutes, twelve accepted other positions outside of education, and 33 have not yet contacted the department, he said. "IN COMPARISON with other schools, I think we have a pretty good showing," Dirkse com- mented. Mrs. Zuverink attributes this to the fact that "Hope has a good reputation for teachers. In fact, the quality of our teachers already teaching is our best selling point." A PLACEMENT prediction of only ten per cent was made last December at a placement meeting of the Michigan College-University Placement Association, she stated. At the same time it was specu- lated that by 1973 the job market for teachers "might pick up." Approximately 48 per cent of last year's graduating class went into education, only slightly less than in previous years, according to Mrs. Zuverink. "Yet the market hasn't changed; we hope to do as well this year as last year," she commented. MRS. ZUVERINK stressed the (act that all students in education must register with her office. research firm. The administration and the Board of Trustees hired the com- pany for the purpose of determin- ing whether Hope can raise the money needed to complete the centennial master plan. Buildings included in the mas- ter plan are the Dewitt Cultural Center, the proposed academic science center and a proposed physical education center. Al- though the DeWitt Center is now completed, a $700,000 short-term loan is still outstanding. Hope's major "selling points," positive and negative, the college's potential for raising a group of "influential volunteers" who will lead the fund-raising program, its most valuable sources of support, and the most effective timing for the program.

ACCORDING TO Director of Admissions Tom LaBaugh, the re- cruitment drive is aimed at in- creasing "the number of applica- tions so that we will have the opportunity to be more selective in choosing the students we ac- cept." LaBaugh estimated that 2 2 fewer admissions deposits have been paid to Hope this year than last, but that Hope retained more students once they were accepted. LaBaugh said the main thrust of the stepped-up program is to develop a more personal tie with the prospective student.

T h e e c o n o m y is to blame for "a very t igh t " j o b marke t for prospect ive teachers , says Hope ' s new coo rd ina to r of t eacher place-m e n t , Mrs. Myra Zuver ink .

T H R E E OR f o u r years ago, s t u d e n t s graduat ing wi th a teach-ing cer t i f ica te had thei r choice of jobs , as school s u p e r i n t e n d e n t s came to Hope in increasing num-bers to sell their p r o d u c t s : their schools , she s ta ted. N o w the situa-t ion is reversed.

Out of 149 cer t i f ied teachers g radua ted in the class of 1 9 7 1 , 7 3 per cent were placed in educa t ion pos i t ions , revealed Lamont Dirkse, c h a i r m a n of the educa t ion d e p a r t m e n t .

anchor fairy tale

Beyond the imagination: a stranger's fiction Editor 's Note : This week ' s awr/jor fairy tale is wri t ten by seniors Ryan Mathews and Steve Berry. Any similarity be tween persons, places and events in the fairy tale and in real life is u n f o r t u n a t e .

In search of our my ths we have traveled to states east, no r th and south of Michigan, f inding that such states do exist. Our search had revealed nothing until late one night when we were sit t ing in a quiet Vermont Milk Bar.

T H E R E WE encoun te red a crazed Michigander who spoke im-ploringly with quiet t rembling

abandon. He spoke of a land far beyond our imaginations, it was a land of b lond, blue-eyed beauties, of tulips and windmills; it was the land of make-believe.

From our land of hops and grains we beheld the stranger 's tale with uncer ta in ty . Yet as he proceeded, his epic became so real that life itself gladly s tepped aside so that it could be tied together by the magician's Gordian knot .

THE S T R A N G E R told us of a near Utopian state where the judi-cial system rewarded instead of revenged. In this magic land the King had not a title (except Chancel lor) and this of course was an indication of his directness and fair play toward all. The Chancel-lor himself was a kindly man who sought only to pursue the ancient writings and a place for himself in the annals of his tory.

His appointees , however , were small and rather worm-like men

w h o placed the upr ight Chancellor in a lower posit ion for vile, detest-able political reasons. The Chancel lor , oblivious to reality, pursued the writings of the an-cients despite the machina t ions of his underl ings.

A MYTHICAL king, comman-dant of the All-American Frisbee team, was an energetic soul, the leader of a group of virile young Utopians familiarized by their t i t le, R.A. 's . He maintained his existence by rereading the Prince of Folly and by con found ing all within the k ingdom.

He could honest ly say that his immedia te superior condoned his ac t ions with a smile. The com-mandant was only laughed at, but he did not know and he never s m i l e d - n o r did anyone else when they though t seriously about the jus t i f ica t ions of that which he did.

THE " H I G H PRIEST " was a man of heavenly ambigui ty tanta-lized to the needs of the c o m m u n -ity. His beacon was always lit and verily it gave him much warmth on occasion. The Minister of Fi-nance had mastered mere language in to a pure science. His ambidex-t rous tongue was renowned t h r o u g h o u t the k ingdom; and his s tocks and bonds c o m p o u n d e d quar te r ly .

But enough of the trivial as-pects of this k ingdom for the truly magical nature was revealed by its inhabi tants . For they, en-lightened though they were, saw that everything was running smoo th ly .

THE S T R A N G E R proceeded to tell us of the various occupa-t ions which were pursued in the k ingdom. For each child did his

own thing and each one 's thing was his own. T h e Great Ones (art ists) are known for their inven-tion of Groovy, a s ta tue made in honor of their great phi losopher , Play Dough, who was a combin-ation of silly p u t t y and bubble gum. This had been supplied to them by the chemists whose res-pect they upheld for they had master the Art of receiving Foun-dat ion Grant m o n e y .

The semantic is ts of the King-d o m , revered hy all for their sensi-tivity in the compil ing of twenty-nine volumes of the Existential Meaning of Love Story, set the un i form s tandard for free expres-sion. Of ten they received sub-stance f rom the theologians who preached of the world beyond the Kletz known as the ca tacombs.

THE O R I G I N A L Kletz (great meal hall of the c o m m u n i t y ) had

been named a f te r a rare bird who exhibi ted a somewhat unusual at-t r ibute , for he could hatch white e lephants twen ty - fou r hours a day.

Meanwhile, back at the town hall, the archives were kept by a group of gnomes (somet imes des-cribed as derelicts). These super-fluous young scribes adap ted as their m o t t o "L i t t l e minds satisfy their good and evil impulses by constant acts of Pet t iness ." Thus they pursued the history of the Kingdom with much content -ment .

N A T U R A L L Y , WE were quite interested in this s tory , weird though it was. Yet, we could not discern whether it was of any real relevance for we could not be sure if there was really such a place. Though we tended to think not , such a place was close to all perceptive realization and indeed imaginable.

The children of the c o m m u n i t y were rarely unique. They divided themselves into several unique groups. There were the Vestal Virgins who worshipped like the ancients at the temple of Delphi and at the twin temples of Sigma. The Sparkies were the renowned athletic champions of the King-dom.

The 11 indies were a bizarre Eastern tribe, who insisted on separating themselves for reasons of self-righteousness. The rest of the children separated themselves into artificial divisions, naturally of course. In shor t , family life was all it could be expected to be. Their exodus f rom the Kingdom was ret icent but rebellious - a def ini te approach-avoidance .

Value choices studied

Survey shows few use drugs by Dave DeKok

Results of a drug use survey taken last spring conclude that 78 percent of Hope 's s tudents do not use mar i juana .

THE S U R V E Y also found that seven percent rarely use the drug, 12 percent use it occasionally and three percent use it o f ten . Regard-ing LSD usage the survey claims that 94 percent of Hope ' s stu-den t s never use it, one percent rarely do and five percent use it occasionally.

The survey. An Investigation of Role Stress Among Students At Selected Church Related Liberal Arts Colleges, was made ac part of a doctora l thesis wri t ten by Wes-tern Michigan University sociol-ogy s tudent Carl D. Swanson. Swanson 's purpose in taking the survey was to check on the role

stress that might occur when a s tudent is faced with the necessity of making value choices. Such an instance would occur when a stu-den t ' s peer group uses man juana and he does not.

ties of his peers. Thus there would be a gap be tween his stated role and his subconsciously desired role that would create stress.

T H E S U R V E Y was taken at five midwes te rn , ehurch-related liberal arts colleges and was limited to a total of 678 sopho-mores and juniors w h o were tak-ing required courses. According to Swanson, the survey was limited to s o p h o m o r e s and juniors be-cause " f r e s h m e n are still under the inf luence of parental , church and c o m m u n i t y s tandards and seniors are vocat ional ly minded due to imminen t g radua t ion . "

A m o n g the five colleges sur-veyed, s tuden t s f rom conservative colleges showed m u c h more stress than their coun t e rpa r t s at the more liberal colleges, except at Hope.

T H E FIVE colleges were rated liberal or conservative by an in-d e p e n d e n t panel of judges who professed to be familiar with the colleges they rated. Hope wa3 rated as second most conservative of the five colleges. However, Hope had the second lowest over-all stress rate of the five colleges. Swanson says tha t this may be due to the l iberalization of dormi-tory visiting hours that occured last spring.

T h e m a j o r deve lopmen t has been the hiring of a ful l - t ime d i rec to r of the counsel ing cen te r .

In add i t ion , the cen te r has been relocated f rom the Psychology House to Van Raal te 102.

T W E N T Y - E I G H T ques t ions were con t a ined in the survey, and the resul ts were b r o k e n d o w n by sex and by type of res idence , that is, w h e t h e r do rm, f ra t house or co t tage . Of the 328 ques t ionna i r e s d i s t r i bu ted , 203 were r e t u r n e d , a response rate of a b o u t 65 per cen t .

O n e of the mos t r emarkab le results of the survey, acco rd ing to Schre iber , is that 25 per cent of the s t u d e n t s indica ted that they never use the visi tat ion privilege while abou t 76 per cen t said that they d o so "less than five t imes a m o n t h . " T h e f indings also show that men s tuden t s in general have guests in their r ooms slightly m o r e f r e q u e n t l y than d o w o m e n .

O N E Q U E S T I O N asked what s t u d e n t s think is the " o n e most c o m m o n v io la t ion" of the guest policy. Less than t w o per cent of those ques t ioned ind ica ted that " ind iscree t b e h a v i o r " was the most f r equen t o f f ense , while abou t 26 per cent c i ted failure to keep doo r s open , and about 45 per cent said that they had not wi tnessed any vio la t ions whatso-ever.

A tota l of 73 per cent of the respond ing s tuden t s felt that the guest policy has improved c a m p u s social life at least to some e x t e n t , while 17 per cent said that it has had no e f fec t .

O N E O F T H E mos t i m p o r t a n t original goals of the guest privi-l e g e s - t o provide o p p o r t u n i t i e s for " c o e d u c a t i o n a l s t u d y " - h a s not been a t t a ined to any great e x t e n t , accord ing to the survey results. F ighty- f ive per cent of those ques-t ioned said that the pol icy has had no e f fec t on their s tudy habi ts , and only 1 1 per cent said that it has improved them.

Men and w o m e n s t u d e n t s diff-ered slightly in their response to the ques t ion w h e t h e r they favored guest hours . Over 97 per cent of the men responded a f f i rma t ive ly , c o m p a r e d to 92 per cent of the w o m e n . One hund red per cent of the frat house and co t t age resi-d e n t s (of bo th sexes) favor the

guest policy, while the f igure for d o r m res idents was 93 per cent .

A S K E D HOW they would rate the general social life on campus , 47 per cent of the s t u d e n t s chose " f a i r , " 21 per cent said " p o o r , " and 20 per cent said "very p o o r . "

O n e ques t ion asked how each s t u d e n t th inks his unit as a whole feels abou t guest policy hours , and the response showed a sub-stant ia l d i f f e r ence be tween men and w o m e n and be tween co t t age and d o r m residents . S ix ty-n ine per cent of the w o m e n r e s p o n d a n t s said their unit " w e l c o m e s " the pol icy, c o m p a r e d to 95 per cent of the men. T h e figures for d o r m s and co t t ages were 74 per cent and 92 per cent respect ively. T w e n t y -seven per cent of the w o m e n said they thought their un i t s " d o n ' t c a r e " about guest hours .

A MUCH greater pe rcen tage of w o m e n than of men - 4 7 per cent versus 18 per c e n t - i n d i c a t e d that s t u d e n t s in their unit had shown some re luctance to serve on the unit counci l .

S i x t y - t w o per cent of the stu-d e n t s indicated tha t , of the t ime they spend m their r ooms with guests of the oppos i t e sex, they spend less than one- th i rd of the t ime s tudying.

A S K E D W H E T H E R they thought the guest pol icy has added to " t h e m a t u r i t y and re-sponsibi l i ty of social l i f e" in their units , 6 0 per cent answered a f f i rmat ive ly . In a b r e a k d o w n hy sex, a somewha t greater percent-age of men than of w o m e n felt that " m a t u r i t y and r e spons ib i l i t y " had been enhanced .

Th ree short essay ques t ions , deal ing with weaknesses and possi-ble changes in the guest policy and in c a m p u s social life, were included in the survey. One of the most f r equen t answers , accord ing to Schre iber , called for the aboli-tion of unit counci l s because they ref lect an a t t i t u d e of d is t rus t on the part of the admin i s t r a t ion . A n o t h e r typical answer asked for the es tab l i shment of a "c losed d o o r " policy because of the noise and lack of privacy resul t ing f rom the present regulat ions.

Four Hope College anchor September 27 . 1971

The beer case On Jan. 1, 1972 the great logical under-

pinning to Hope College's no-alcohol-on-campus drinking policy wil l be washed away in a tide of legislative progress. On that date the age of majority in Michigan will be lowered f rom 21 to 18, transform-ing the greater port ion of Hope's student body f rom restricted minors into ful l legal adults. While most of this action's implica-tions wi l l be dealt wi th on a personal level by the students, some implications must be confronted on an institutional level by the college; one of these is the lower dr inking

age.

The programmed response of Hope ad-ministrators when questioned concerning Hope's dr inking policy has long been that the school would violate the spirit of Michigan's dr inking law, if not the law itself, by permitt ing alcohol on campus. This response was made part of the 1971-72 "Student Handbook" this fall

when pertinent sections from the coded law of Michigan were included wi th the college's regulations. Come Jan. 1 the college must either devise new just i f icat ion for what otherwise would be an antiquated campus statute or amend the rule.

Justif ication by state law was probably once secondary justi f ication, that is, unt i l justi f ication on the grounds that all alco-

holic beverages are inherently evil was demoted f rom the top spot as an ana-chronism. With the number one slot va-cant, the validity of the anachronism must

be tested.

The argument for the intrinsic malevo-lence of alcohol has had a f ict i t ious biblical base. Biblically there is no categorical condemnation of the consumption of alco-holic beverages. Drunkenness, not dr inking, is condemned. Twentieth century social historians have determined that the phe-nomenon of teetotaling Americans is his-torical ly founded in cultural, not religious,

grounds.

Without the support of the law of the land and with the only other serious defense considered outmoded except by the most narrow-minded sectarians, the present pol icy, if adhered to, would repre-sent an unrealistic and unreasonable refusal

to adjust to a changing world. In Janu-ary, what now makes sense would make nonsense; Hope College's dr inking rule would be repressive in light of changing laws and changing attitudes.

It would seem then that Hope must modi fy its drinking rule. The regulation

reads: The laws of the State of Michigan

prohib i t the use of alcoholic beverages

by persons under 21 years of age and the sale or provision of alcoholic bev-erages to such persons. The College upholds the state and municipal laws concerning dr inking and in addit ion, prohibits the possession or consumption of alcoholic beverages on college pro-perty or in college housing units and at college functions. The college also pro-hibits disorderly behavior while under the influence of alcohol on college property, at any student-sponsored so-cial event, or at any college-sponsored funct ion.

The first statement of the regulation must be revised; the college has no choice. However, due to the imminent availability of liquor to nearly the entire student population, the college should consider modify ing that part of the regulation ex-cluding alcohol f rom the campus. Modifica-t ion here would mean permit t ing alcohol on campus. The changing legal status of students and the changed att i tude toward drinking of many students and faculty suggest that the modif icat ion should be

made.

Presently, w i th no more than one-fourth of the student body able to buy alcoholic beverages of f campus, the dean of students office is unable to prevent dr inking in the dorms. When the remaining three-fourths of the student body become legal drink-ers, prevention wi l l become even more d i f f icu l t . The drinking regulation would

be a shambles.

Complicating this problem for the en-forcement off icials is the fact that, come January, there simply wi l l not be enough places in Holland where students may dr ink. At present Skiles Tavern is packed to overflowing on weekend evenings. The Hollander Pub, the only other respectable tavern near the college, already has a healthy college business, and could accom-odate only a very l imi ted number of new student drinkers. The remainder, unless they have transportat ion, have no place to drink if barred f rom campus.

The only satisfactory alternative is to make some accomodation for drinking on campus. Evidence seems to indicate that drinking in dormitories often gets out of hand, frequently leading to property dam-age. This does not appear to be an accept-able revision.

To allow students to drink on campus, but out of the dorms, seems more realistic. Fortunately for the college, the newly-completed DeWitt Cultural Center provides an excellent location for an on-campus pub. With both the Kletz area and the student lounge below it , several hundred students could enjoy their new legal status in a healthy, control led atmosphere.

The college should pursue this plan wi th all haste, in anticipation of the Jan. 1 showdown.

Is Blanton a t t e m p t i n g to tell us that he has been able to mas ter "all the knowledge we have a c c u m u l a t e d ? " If so, I wish he would share his m e t h o d with me: it would help greatly in keeping up with some of the chemis t ry courses a round here .

'Future Shock9 attempts to explain too much Editor's Note: This week's aA7c/70/" review is wr i t ten by junior philos-ophy major Neal Freedman and senior history major Ryan Mat-thews. They review Future Shock by Alvin Toff ler (Random House, $5.95, and Bantam paperback, $1.95).

(Reviewers note to Mr. T o f f l e r : We k n o w you will greatly appreci-ate the ou tda tedness of this cri-t ique; we, the au thors , have suc-cessfully escaped the t ime swirl which you say c o n f o u n d s modern man . ) •

In the past year, the enlight-ened intel lectuals who f r equen t the best-seller c o u n t e r s have gained t w o p r o f o u n d , but contra-d ic tory , insights into m o d e m man and his exis tence in super- indus-trial America. The or ig inators of these revelations, both self-styled-psuedo-psycho-sociologis ts , o f f e r such conf l ic t ing diagnoses of tech-nological society that readers are c o n f r o n t e d with a twen t i e th cen-tury Pollyanna-Cassandra deba te on the fu tu re of this c o u n t r y .

OUR P O L L Y A N N A , the au-thor of The Greening oj America, Charles Reich, has already seen his f amous Consciousness III reduced to myth in this paper by reviewer F reedman . Our Cassandra, Alvin Tof f le r of Future Shock popula-n t y , now sees his case reviewed.

Both Tof f l e r and Reich preach technological de t e rmin i sm. They are captives of an a t t i t u d e which ascribes metaphysica l s ta tus to machines. That is, they bo th posit man in dialectical struggle with technology as though this technol-ogy was some brute force itself and not someth ing that man created.

METAPHYSICS is a lways spec-ulat ion. Our modern sociologist likes to avoid that word , so he calls himself a "social f u t u r i s t . " The fu tur is t Reich (ou r Polly-anna) prophesized the negat ion of technology by t echno logy : ma-chines that c rumble under the weight of their own devices. Con-sciousness 111 would be created and would prevail. T o f f l e r per-ceives someth ing very d i f f e r e n t .

W5/?§ Editor's Note: This week's WTAS record review is wr i t ten by Music Director Bud Thompson. He re-views Blue, an album by Joni Mitchell , on Reprise Records.

I had heard many stor ies abou t Joni Mitchell 's latest a lbum. Blue, before 1 actually heard it. One story s tated that it had back-ground orches t ra t ion . This d idn ' t sound like Joni Mitchell, seeing that the most o rches t ra ted any of her a lbums has ever been was a string quar te t on "Ladies Of The C a n y o n . "

O the r s said that it was just d i f f e ren t , not the Jon i Mitchell they had come to k n o w and love. So 1 approached Blue with a great deal of hesi tat ion and reservation, afraid that a great style had been sacrificed for a new image.

Well, Blue just goes to show that you shouldn ' t believe every-thing you hear. First o f f , it is not o rches t ra ted . G r a n t e d , it has several o ther people assisting Miss Mitchell, such as S t ephen Stills and James Taylor . But the Joni

fected the Western super-indus-trial world (which neatly avoids those individuals not f o r t u n a t e enough to be exposed to this bourgeois virus). The disease is that of change wrought by tech-nology; a change whose accelera-tion is absolute , one which chal-lenges man 's physiological and psychological capacit ies. Tech-nology has replaced s tabi l i ty , rootedness and sameness with an exis tence character ized by " t r an -sience, diversity and nove l t y . "

ALL IS IN a cons tan t s tate of f lux. New fr iends are soon old f r iends; newly visited places are quickly left for even newer places; '72 model cars replace ' V P s ; and even novel ideas (like Tof f l e r ' s ) rapidly become anachronisms.

Time, which is relative since it is def ined by change, has t rapped man in a maels t rom of chaos , has bombarded his senses, has over-s t imula ted him physically and menta l ly . The choices for modern man are too many ; the responsi-bility for these choices t oo great ; he f inds it impossible to cope. " T h e s y m p t o m s of f u t u r e shock are with us n o w . "

" F U T U R E S H O C K " as a con-ceptual tool does not render the world any more intelligible than the o the r recently coined socio-

logical labels do. Like the others , it a t t emp t s to explain too much . For example , radical politics and black mil i tancy are only irre-sponsible react ions to over-whelming technological change ac-cording to Toff ler . We seriously quest ion this.

We also quest ion what To f f l e r seems to mean by change. He states that the quan t i ty of change is as impor t an t , if not more im-por t an t , than the quali ty of change for analyzing present super- industnal society. In o the r words, To f f l e r assumes techno-logy to be inherently progressive. It becomes regressive, in fact , destruct ive, only insofar as man is unable to cope with the speed of change. There is no th ing wrong, for example , with cons tant ly " im-proving" upon man's technology. To the con t ra ry , it is desirable so long as man is taught to adapt to these improvements . Then man will not find " t rans ience , diversity and n o v e l t y " so devastat ing.

IT IS CLEAR where Tof f l e r ' s sensibilities lie. If he were merely describing a people who have in-heri ted a Wall Street conscious-ness - that is, an al ienated group

then we could unders tand what he means by society 's sickness. If he was merely describing a people who suf fe r f rom " t rans ience , di-

versity and nove l t y " because they view real, quali tat ive change as typif ied in 1972 model cars, then we could unde r s t and .

But To f f l e r allies himself with this type of consciousness (alien-ated, technological Consciousness III) by viewing this type of change as real, qual i ta t ive and even pro-gressive. Thus it is Tof f l e r who is infected and his book is a symp-tom of the disease he has diag-nosed. We now unders tand why it is in its 19th print ing.

IT IS N O T that modern man is on a speeding train, according to Tof f le r , bu t that he is not on it and should be. Once he has learned to become a passenger, technology will be under his con-trol. We say "passenger" instead of " c o n d u c t o r " because the latter is pe rmi t t ed to pull the brake, whereas the former can only en-joy the ride. Tof f le r wants every-one to en joy the ride.

How technology may be al-lowed to con t inue and yet be control led is the central paradox in To f f l e r ' s work. He presents us with such an overwhelmingly dark , disquiet ing present (which we believe exists), that he makes it diff icul t for the reader not to see " c o n t r o l " as meaning a partial (i.e., realistic) return to a pre-industrial life-style.

BUT T O F F L E R will have none of tha t . Instead he proposes insti-tu t ions like " f u t u r e assemblies" (Brave New World? We don ' t d o u b t it!) which might prepare people for (you got it) . . . the fu tu r e . This idea seems far more Utopian (in the bad sense, not the Marcusian) than a partial return to pre-industr ial life-styles, styles which have succeeded in engen-dering coun te r -cu l tu re groups across the c o u n t r y .

We believe that the inject ion of cancer cells in to a terminal cancer pa t ient is ne i ther a p ruden t nor a responsible act . The re fo re , we find ourselves unable to accept the fact that technology can cure technology . We must oppose the technological solut ion and insist that any solut ion to technological p rob lems reside in man.

AS MEN, we see a partial reversion to a pre-industrial life-style, or at least, a demand that a tenta t ive barrier be built against the ravages of technology as pos-sible impor t an t s teps toward the solut ion of technological prob-lems.

Realist ic-utopian to us, these al ternat ives are pure nonsense, roman t i c and idealistic, to Toff le r and , tragically, to the people of this coun t ry about whom he writes.

Christ's people

To the Greeks, folly...? by Steve Wykstra

Mitchell style is enhanced and enr iched, not sacrif iced.

All the songs, from composi-tion to a r rangement , carry the e lements that have made her a folk great. In "My Old M a n " she demons t r a t e s her ability to take stale song plots and m a k e them fresh: "But when he 's gone /Me and them lonesome blues col-l ide. /The bed 's too big, /The frying pan ' s too wide . "

Vet, Blue is d i f fe ren t . The songs seem to be poet ry being read with a musical background . At t imes it sounds as if she's racing lo get all the words in. The words too are d i f fe ren t . This al-bum seems to have more happy , hope fu l songs ("Al l 1 W a n t " , "My Old Man" , " C a r e y " , "Ca l i fo rn i a " ) than her previous albums. She 's taking a new look at life. As a result, this a lbum looks and sounds d i f f e ren t .

To put it s imply . Blue is a good Joni Mitchell a lbum. It is not her best, but mediocre Joni Mitchell far surpasses the best of many o ther artists. Jon i Mitchell fans will like Blue. So will most o ther people.

There is a rumor abou t , that becoming and being a Christian necessarily involves abandon ing one ' s capaci ty for intell igent, ra-tional though t . It is not a new idea, bu t a recurring one. And it has been tested and fought before , bu t deserves to be tested-^and, if proven f a l s e - t o be fought again.

IT D E S E R V E S to be tes ted, because the c o m m a n d m e n t Christ puts first is to love God with all our mind, heart and soul. If our minds, proper ly used, tell us we are irrational for believing the object of our love even exists, much less that He is wor thy of our love, then the first C o m m a n d -ment conta ins the seed of its own des t ruc t ion , and of the disintegra-tion of the Christian fai th.

Now our quest ion is not, "Are some, most or all Christ ians irra-tional as far as their Chris t iani ty is c o n c e r n e d ? " That quest ion we should give to Dr. David Myers, as a social psychologist . Rather , our quest ion is, "Must a Christian necessanly be irrational, as far as his Chris t iani ty is c o n c e r n e d ? "

THIS Q U E S T I O N can only be answered by first c lar i fying what is involved in becoming/be ing a Christ ian, and what is involved in being an intelligent and rational person. From there we may ask what sort of relat ionship exists between the Christian and rational man, given the kind of things they respectively involve.

First, what is involved in be-coming/be ing a Christ ian? I sug-gest this, as a rough beginning. A Christian is a person who inter-nally recognizes that his life is not , in some way, what life is meant to be. He comes to believe that the root of the p rob lem is that he was made for a certain

sort of relat ionship with his Per-sonal Crea tor , but that this rela-t ionship is " b r o k e n . " And finally, he finds that Jesus Christ is the one to w h o m he must turn in order that this relat ionship might be restored and his life pulled together in to what it is meant to be.

MY A P O L O G I E S to C hristians, for all that this leaves unsaid. And my apologies to non-Chris t ians for seeming to say more than I have f right to, at this po in t .

For example , to " recognize that life is not what life is meant to be" implies that life is not a mere p roduc t of seething mole-cules react ing under probabl is t ic laws plus whatever values we arbi-trarily choose to give it. So let us add, at this point , that this impli-cation is part of the Christian " r e c o g n i t i o n , " and leave as an open issue whether this is sheer delusion, or deep t ru th .

Likewise, when I say the Chris-tian " f i n d s Jesus Christ is the one he has to turn t o , " let us say, that this Jesus is the Chris t ian 's dis-covery as it appears to him. Let us leave open the ques t ion as to whether this Jesus is a historical person and living reality or whe-ther or not this whole discovery is a mere mirage, con jured up by a thirsty soul and projected upon the barren desert of an empty universe and hollow life.

S E C O N D , what is involved in being an intelligent and rational person? T o be intelligent is to be aware of , rather than ignorant of, the facts which are available to us which have a bearing on the ques-tions we are trying to answer. To be rat ional is to reason f rom these facts to our conclusions meet ing

the canons of logic. T h e canons of logic are the rules though t must fol low, if thought is to avoid con t rad ic t ing itself.

1 suggest we be especially care-ful to not ice the un ique sort of s i tuat ion and ques t ions to which the Christ ian Gospel pu rpo r t s to speak. For example , it does not pu rpor t to speak to our scientific ques t ions , which seek to uncover regular pa t t e rns of natural events, to give us cont ro l of our physical env i ronmen t .

R A T H E R , IT purpor t s to speak to our "rel igious ques-t ions , " which are an expression of some sort of felt need for "re-d e m p t i o n , " in order that we might Live. Thus the Christian faith is not irrational just because science does not jus t i fy it. On the con t r a ry , the more one under-s tands the nature , aims and limits of science, the more it appears irrational to expect scientific facts, m e t h o d s and results to have a bearing on religious ques t ions and answers.

This is not to say that there are no facts which have a bearing on the evaluat ion of what pu rpor t s to be religious t ru th . Nei ther does it say there are no relat ionships be-tween religion and science. It is only to alert us to take great care lest we c o n c e n t r a t e so much at-t en t ion on the sort of facts which do not have the required rele-vance. With that concen t ra t ed at-ten t ion we ignore the facts that do.

In the nex t essay, I shall try to suggest some features of the rela-t ionship between the Christian faith and intell igent reason which do have a bearing upon the ra-tional evaluat ion of the Christian Gospel .

Black Americanism The t ime has come to take a

critical a t t i t u d e toward the black " r e v o l u t i o n " in America.

THE BLACK movement in this society is moving along a pa th leading nowhere , nei ther forward nor backward . In essence, the black " m o v e m e n t " is not moving. Blacks have gone f rom integrated bus seats to integrated toilet seats. Outs ide of this " m o n u m e n t a l " step forward I find no evidence of significant progress. In fac t , the living cond i t ions of the masses of blacks in this society have deter io-rated steadily.

The most obvious reason for this lack of progress is the repres-sive na ture of white racism. How-ever, ano the r reason (which might not be so obvious) is black people themselves. American society, th rough its ins t i tu t ions , has created a "second n a t u r e " in black people.

IN O T H E R WORDS, American society has set up a system (not consciously perhaps) in which black people have become habi tu-ally good Americans .

There is no black progress in America because black people , al-though not con ten t with their cond i t ion , have been skil lfully in-

jected wi th those Amer ican values which serve to pe rpe tua te that same exis tence in which they find themselves. One such Amer ican value, t he quest for weal th , is qu i te c o m m o n a m o n g blacks in America .

A f u r t h e r explanat ion is in order . Let us start with a state-ment made by Malcom X in Aug-ust of 1964: "1 am not an Ameri-can. I 'm one of the 22 million black people who are the victims of Amer ican i sm." If Malcom were alive t oday he would be forced to realize that Americanism (Ameri-caniza t ion) , has taken its toll on black people in this society.

IT IS PRECISELY through the process of Americanizat ion that black people have become good Americans . As d e m o n s t r a t e d by Herbert Marcuse, America ( the consumer e c o n o m y ) has created a second na tu re in blacks which ties them " l ib id ina l ly" to the Ameri-can way. In o ther words, it has become a need to consume, pro-duce and accumula te materials , while at the same time the need for f r eedom has become subju-gated to those needs. To pursue the po in t , the black ( w h o has

by Bob Blanton

b e c o m e Americanized) , au tomat i -cally f ights against any change that would seek to abolish his d e p e n d e n c e on the system.

Black people, for the most par t , are materialists. And we are quick to assert our individuali ty, a n o t h e r t rue American trait . We may bu rn down a couple of cities every now and then, but it is only because we aren' t allowed to ful-fill our " n e e d " to be good Ameri-cans.

IN O R D E R TO stage a success-ful radical black movemen t in this soc ie ty , we must b e c o m e anti-mater ia l is t . We have to attain a sense of collective spirit , not merely intel lectual , bu t actual .

I am not one to de lude myself t hough , and as it s tands now the strongest counter - revolu t ionary force to the black movemen t (if we assume the black movemen t to be revolut ionary in na ture) is black people. If any th ing is to be learned f rom this brief essay let it be that we should be t t e r perceive w h o our real enemy is.

" T h e coun te revo lu t ion (is) an-chored in the inst inctual struc-t u r e . "

Process streamlined

Recruitment reorganized continued from page I

Assistant Director of Admissions Dave VanderWel. VanderWel com-piled data regarding the concen-trat ion of a lumni, the location of Reformed churches , the geo-graphic dis t r ibut ion of s tuden t s and minor i ty groups, and the ec-onomic cond i t ion of each area.

Other prepara t ion for the re-cru i tment program included a two-week training session for re-crui ters developed by Assistant Director Phil Toppen . The re-crui ters will utilize a new recruit-ment brochure drawn up by Dr. J o h n Hopkins , chairman of the c o m m u n i c a t i o n s depa r tmen t , and s tuden t s Dale Reed and Gre tchen Kleis Straw.

THE B R O C H U R E is more along the lines of " s t u d e n t s talk-ing to o ther s tuden t s about life at Hope than pieces of the ca ta log ," LaBaugh said. It does not conta in

specific in fo rma t ion on costs and curr iculum because this informa-tion is available in the catalog.

A n o t h e r innovat ion is the method of gett ing in fo rma t ion to the s tuden t . Most recruiting ma-terials will be sent in mailing tubes. LaBaugh hopes that this will aid the post off ice and in-trigue the prospective s tuden t .

AN E F F O R T HAS also been made to s treamline procedure in the admissions of f ice itself. La Baugh said he is trying to make more ef f ic ien t use of personnel to handle the flow of applicat ions. There will be more emphasis on data processing, but LaBaugh stressed that this did not mean the s tuden t would become "just a n u m b e r . "

In o rder to provide more at ten-tion to each applicat ion and faster service for the s tuden t , all unnec-essary paperwork has been elim-

MISS C A R A Y A N N I says she is especially conce rned in her t w o classes, The Greek World and The Middle Ages, with giving her stu-den t s an i n t r o d u c t i o n to " u s e f u l h i s t o r y . " " S t u d e n t s must grasp h is tory and use it to apprec ia te the present . I 'm very in teres ted in reviving the s t udy of the ancients . We gain to lerance f rom an under-s tand ing of the p a s t , " she says.

A native of Greece , Miss Cara-yanni finds the writings of Soc-rates and Pla to especial ly app rop -riate t oday . " E v e r y o n e k n o w s Pla-to ' s ' K n o w thyse l f . ' I've talked t o a lot of kids here and they all want to find out who they are. Maybe I can help show them th rough these m e n . "

MISS C A R A Y A N N I is a gradu-ate of A t h e n s University and holds the m a s t e r of arts degree f rom Central Michigan Universi ty. " T h e Greek universit ies are con-t e n t - o r i e n t e d , 0 she states. " T h e y deal in t heo ry , with little regard for m e t h o d s such as the tech-niques of archeological explora-t ion . The college in America works more with the m e t h o d s involved. In m y classes, I hope to present s o m e t h i n g of bo th schemes. Historical research is so i n t e r e s t i n g - l i k e pu t t ing toge the r a p u z z l e . "

The new teacher is i n fa tua t ed with Amer ica ' s large and pictur-esque universit ies. "Cen t ra l Michi-gan was so large and p re t ty and the University of Texas, where I s tudied last summer , was just b e a u t i f u l , " she adds. She ex-plained that in Greece, colleges do not have a " c a m p u s " as Ameri-cans conceive it. The Greek col-

Hope to offer credit in California program

Hope College has launched an innovat ive academic program in Cal i fornia this fall by o f f e r i n g college-credit courses at the Gar-den Grove C o m m u n i t y Church in G a r d e n Grove, Calif.

T H E P R O G R A M , appropr i -ately called H o p e College/West , is housed in the c h u r c h ' s " T o w e r of H o p e " building.

Cur ren t ly , only three college-credit courses are being o f f e r e d : " L i t e r a t u r e of Juda ism and Chris-t i a n i t y " ; "His to ry of the Chris t ian ( hurch '; and "Basic Chr is t ian 1 h o u g h t . " The courses , which will cost $60 per credi t hou r , are being t augh t by p rofessor Lamber t Pon-stein, of the H o p e religion facu l ty . Any post high school adul t may enroll in the program, which mee t s on M o n d a y and Tuesday evenings and Sa tu rday morn ings .

Kenne th Van Wyck, min is te r of educa t ion at the G a r d e n Grove c h u r c h , bo th admin i s t r a to r s of H o p e Col lege/West , said they ex-pect an en ro l lmen t of f i f ty t o a h u n d r e d s t u d e n t s in the first year

of the p rogram. Stewart said most s tuden t s in the first semes ter are California college s tuden t s a t t end-ing schools near-by.

1 he H o p e College/West pro-gram is the result of e f f o r t s by Dr. Rober t Schul ler , pas tor of the Garden Grove church , to bring his church into a closer re la t ionship with Hope College.

A religion about God is like a car

nothing to throw them into gear and

make them function. The religion we

have is Christ, God himself incamate in

human life: creating, redeeming, acting,

expecting no celestial handout, only a

deep deep sharing of this glory and this
