The C a m p u s Life B o a r d will soon cons ider a p r o p o s a l u r g i n g that , beg inn ing next semester, chapel be held f r o m 10 to 10:20 a .m. five d a y s a week.

The p roposa l w a s passed on Nov . 6 b y the Religious Life Com-mittee a n d passed on to Dean for Academic Affairs Morrette Rider.

T H E IDEA G R E W o u t o f a s u g gestion by the Blue Ribbon Com-mittee appointed last March to s tudy the rel igious life of the Col-lege. It was this commit tee that devised and r ecommended the pre-sent chapel system to the B o a r d of Trustees

Tha i commit tee recommended to the a p p r o p r i a t e segment of the Adminis t ra t ion that T u e s d a y and T h u r s d a y chapel services be held

at 10 a .m. Before the end of the yea r , the

Religious Life Commit tee ( then a student-faculty commit tee directly responsible to the facul ty, without an intermediate b o a r d ) passed a motion to that effect.

T H I S WAS C H A L L E N G E D at the fol lowing facul ty meeting. At that meeting a mot ion w a s m a d e u rg ing that chape l services on T u e s d a y and T h u r s d a y cont inue to begin at 8 a .m. This was tabled, and no other action concern ing the RLC decision was taken.

At the beg inn ing of June , the Boa rd of Trustees met and con-sidered the report of the Blue Rib-bon Committee. Certain sug-gest ions other than the 2 100 chap-el plan were passed , including the change in chapel t ime for T u e s d a y and T h u r s d a y .

Dean Rider was not on c a m p u s last year . When he a r r ived , it was a p p a r e n t to him that the c h a n g e could not be effected i m m e d i a ^ -ly, because schedules had been p lanned with the u n d e r s t a n d i n g that chapel would begin at 8 a.m. The chief difficulty was with sci-ence l abora to r i e s , which* in some cases r a n th rough theentire morn-ing.

T H E N E X T A C T I O N was the p a s s a g e of a m o t i o n by the present RLC a s k i n g that chapel begin at 10 a .m. each d a y , not merely T u e s d a y and T h u r s d a y . Instead of r e c o m m e n d i n g this to the Cam-pus Life B o a r d , which is the n o r m a l p rocedure acco rd ing to the new commit tee s tructure, the idea was sent to Dean Rider.

Ex actly where the mot ion s t ands now is a d e b a t a b l e quest ion. One school of thought feels that , since

the facul ty did not defeat the RLC p r o p o s a l last yea r , chapel on T u e s d a y and T h u r s d a y should begin at 10 a .m. , and that this shou ld take place as soon as it is pract ical to implement it.

O T H E R S F E E L , however , that the tab l ing of the mot ion to have T u e s d a y a n d T h u r s d a y c h a p e l b e -gin at 8 a .m. m e a n s that theques-t ion still mus t be answered by the faculty.

A third g r o u p asser ts that the B o a r d of Trustees passed the sug-gestion as par t of the Blue Ribbon Commit tee repor t , a n d that there-fo re the facul ty has no power to c h a n g e that decision.

A four th school of thought ig-no re s the action taken by last y e a r ' s RLC and s a y s that the Nov . 6 RLC mot ion is the pertinent act ion.

A P P A R E N T L Y U S I N G thelas t a p p r o a c h , the C a m p u s Life B o a r d will meet in con junc t ion with Dean Rider as soon as possible to try to solve the p rob lem, accord ing to B o a r d c h a i r m a n Roger Rietberg.

Mr. Rietberg pointed out the need for qu ick act ion. The f inal facul ty meet ing of the ca l enda r yea r is on Nov . 25, and the de-cision of the C a m p u s Life Boa rd must be published six days before that date, or by this Tuesday .

He also noted, however , that the B o a r d will need time to consider the ques t ion t h o r o u g h l y , since m a n y object ions h a v e been raised.

Involvement Stressed

Trial English Course Offers New Approach By J a n Dzur ina a n c h o r Reporter

English 15, an exper imenta l f r e s h m a n p r o g r a m offered as an al ternate to the t rad i t ional fresh-m a n English course for the first time this semester, b r ings a new-a p p r o a c h to l ea rn ing to the Hope College c l a s s r o o m .

T H E IDEA OF a revised f o r m a t for the Engl ish depa r tmen t seg-ment of the Int roduct ion to Liberal Studies p r o g r a m grew out of an ana lys i s of the p r o g r a m last sp r ing by Bruce H a y w o o d , Dean of the Facu l ty at Kenyon College.

" P r o v o k e d by professor Hay-wood ' s r e m a r k s we b e g a n to quest ion whether the intensive f o u r - h o u r semester course as it was be ing t a u g h t was the on ly or the most effective w a y to get s tudents to conf ront their individ-ual c o m m u n i c a t i o n h a n g - u p s , " noted J o a n Mueller, a member of the Engl ish facul ty involved in the exper imenta l p r o g r a m .

IT WAS S U G G E S T E D last sp r ing that the Engl ish depar t -ment "dev i se a course that real ly grew out of ideas as well as the express ion of those ideas , " sa id Mrs. N a n c y T a y l o r , c o o r d i n a t o r of the Engl ish 15 p r o g r a m .

"We wanted to give the s tudent a real responsibi l i ty for his edu-c a t i o n , " she cont inued. " H e can-not be a s p o n g e in this course , bu t h a s to become actively in-volved in l e a r n i n g . "

" T h e course gives the facul ty m e m b e r s an o p p o r t u n i t y to l ea rn not only with the s tudents , bu t

with and f rom his a s soc ia te s , " Mrs. Tay lo r added . " T h e facul ty member s a re involved in joint p l a n n i n g of the course , weekly ana ly s i s of the course, and regu-lar visits to one a n o t h e r ' s class-r o o m . "

I N ORI /ER TO allow a longer period for development of discus-sion and writ ing skills, Engl ish 15 extends over the whole aca-demic year . Al though computed for the pu rpose of s tudent load as two two-hour courses , it is a four -hour course, and only at the complet ion of the y e a r ' s work does a student receive a g r a d e a n d four h o u r s credit.

English 15 students will r ema in with the s a m e professor both se-mesters.

The course is built a r o u n d a c o m m o n experience; a film, a lec-ture, or a p l ay which relates to or substi tutes for the week 's r e a d i n g ass ignment .

T H E C O M M O N exper ience is a m a s s meeting of all six sections of English 15; five facul ty mem-bers , 135 students a n d six s tudent ass i s tan ts meet together each T h u r s d a y f irs t period.

English 15 is a yea r - longexper i -ence o rgan ized a r o u n d three issues: the re la t ionsh ip of the in-d iv idua l to himself; the relat ion-sh ip of the ind iv idua l to his com-muni ty , g o v e r n m e n t a n d society; a n d the re la t ionship of self-percep-tion and social concern to va lues .

Included in the requi red read-ings for the first issue in the ex-per imental p r o g r a m a re Ra lph

El l ison 's " Inv i s ib l e Man , " Erich F r o m m ' s " T h e Art of L o v i n g , " Victor F r a n k l ' s " T h e Meaning of Exis tence" and Reuel Howe 's " T h e Miracle of D ia logue . "

In preceding weeks the English 15 classes h a v e listened to songs by the New S h a d y Hollow Sing-ers, who demons t r a t ed music as self-expression. A1 Richards , G L C A c o o r d i n a t o r to the Phila-delphis U r b a n Semester pro-g r a m , cha l lenged the students with the p r o b l e m s of rac i sm d u r i n g ano ther C o m m o n Experience.

In add i t ion to the weekly read-ing a s s i g n m e n t s and the joint C o m m o n Experience, there are two l a b o r a t o r y sessions, usua l ly semina r in f o r m a t , which a recon-cerned with effective express ion both o ra l and written as evidenced in a weekly paper .

T H E O N L Y p r e s c r i p t i o n f o r t h e topics of the weekly pape r s is that they r e s p o n d t o t h e week's r ead ing exper ience and the C o m m o n Ex-perience.

" T h e key word in the entire p r o g r a m is ' r e s p o n d ' — h a v i n g some th ing to r e s p o n d to, watching others r e spond , a n d then, in turn, self-response, which is a chal lenge to the life of the m i n d , " Dr. Muel-ler noted.

" T h e weekly wri t ing is s imply an a t tempt to r e s p o n d honest ly to wha t the s tudents h a v e seen, read,

or listened to tha t week," noted Dr. Elizabeth Reedy, ass is tant p rofessor of Engl ish and a teacher of an Engl ish 15 section.

" T H E PAPERS A R E o f n o s p e c ified length and a r e read a n d com-mented upon by the professor in those a r e a s in which the student requests eva lua t ion and no g r a d e

is g iven , " said Mrs. Tay lo r . Dr. Reedy expla ined that five

l imes a semester a student must choose what he cons iders his best effort. He m a y revise these p a p e r s and then turn them in to his pro-fessor for extensive comment and an eva lua t ion in the form of "un-s a t i s f a c t o r y , " " a d e q u a t e " or " v e r y g o o d . "

On The Wall

Psychology Today By Dave Allen

The housel ights d immed, the orchestra started up and the cur-ta ins parted. The announcer stepped out to s tage front and said, "Welcome to Psychology 9 9 , ' T h e psychology of the unborn infant in dynamic relation with his womb! ' "

' NOW WITHOUT F U R T H E R a d o , " the announce r continued, "he re ' s the denizen of the darkes t depths of the mind, here's B u d d y . "

F r o m the wings pranced Buddy , who was dressed in the w a y psy-chology mentors dress. He had on his white f r eud ian slip, blue and green argyles , a Mickey Mouse hat, a silk vest and su rgeon ' s gloves. The walls of the Pysche bui lding, better known as the Psyche Syndrome, fair ly shook with applause .

"Well, here we are, c lass ," he said. " Jus t the three of us on s tage here, my Ego, Id and I.

"SO GANG, ARE we all ready for ano ther tense, p rob ing d a y into the sewers of mens ' minds?

" O k a y , then we'll begin. " A n y h o w , c lass ," he said , " I

have a surpr ise for you t o d a y . " Everyone got up to leave.

"NO, NO!" HE retorted. "We've a guest lecturer this morn ing , Dr. Grey. And here he is!"

The spotlight f lashed over to a corner of the stage where was curled u p the t rembling hulk of a m a n , whimper ing . He screamed when the light caught him in the libido.

" N o w , now Dr. Grey, there's nothing to wor ry about , they won' t hurt you. Come on out to the desk here ." Capta in Buddy

motioned to a smal l sink at s tage center.

IN A B O U N D I N G f lash Dr. Grey leaped to the sink, leaned over it and eyed the class sus-piciously. "You are all abnor -m a l , " he said, " Y o u ' v e all got a bunch of dir ty little secrets and idiosyncracies you are sup-pressing. You've all got hang-ups and neuroses—I know!"

"Tel l us all you know about psychology. Dr. Grey , " Buddy said.

Dr. Grey's b row fur rowed and he looked reflectively into the sink, pretending that it was a well filled with fairies and goblins and things.

"YES, PSYCHOLOGY," he said after a short pause. " T o be-gin with let me s tar t off with a favor i te definition of mind. Psy-chology is the art of fool ing people into th inking that they must ques-tion their mot iva t ions and actions, and when they do they develop guilt complexes and eventual ly worry so much that it f inal ly drives them insane, which is when we have them in our g r a s p . "

This definition seemed to please the class, but a little knowledge is a d a n g e r o u s thing and since the class was heavy on th i s , misappli-cation was gua ran teed . Now with just enough misconstrued misin-fo rma t ion the c lass could act as g r a d u a t e psychologis ts and go out and carelessly spr inkle about inane conclusions.

"TO C O N T I N U E , " Dr. Grey continued, " t o continue, we have

been able to m a k e a science out of psychology. It was h a r d , but we did it. We study ra t s and mice and pigeons and f r o m their ac-t ions and react ions we are able to come up with positive state-ments on peoples ' condit ions.

" S o now that psycho logy is a science we are as able to m a k e precise ca tegor ica l conclusions abou t m a n as we a re abou t the weather. And we're as often cor-rect.

" T H E REALLY beautiful art-istry of the whole g a m e is that if you have someone a rgue aga ins t you , Just label them as psychotic, tell them they 're h iding a severe inferiority complex and they'll never be able to retort. Use big words like " s y n d r o m e , " " l a t en t , " " s u b l i m a t i o n " and before you know it you' l l even sound like you know what you ' re ta lking about . " L o o k at it this way: here are a bunch of h a p p y people, quite content and settled. That , you tell them, is their bas ic problem. Give them someth ing to wor ry about , tell them that there are all sorts of evil though t s r u n n i n g amuk in the basement level of their ids.' Make them feel suspiciously guilty, conscious of their uncon-scious and before you know it you' l l have a bunch of p a r a n o i a c s to mold with your neurotic little fingers.

" N o w that you know all that you' l l ever know about psychol-ogy and all that there is to know, let us convene to the Kletz where we can h a v e a l ab in H u m a n H a n g - U p s . "

Mixes Disciplines

AAB Okays New Department By Tom Hildebrandt

Assistant Editor

The Academic Affairs Board passed the p r o p o s a l to create a depar tment of interdisciplinary studies, a p p r o v e d a new course in the psychology a n d educat ion depa r tmen t s and tabled motions r e g a r d i n g opening the l ibrary on S a t u r d a y nights and repeating courses at its meeting Monday .

The p roposa l for creat ion of a depar tment of interdiscipl inary studies, which was introduced at the last B o a r d meeting by chair-m a n Morrette Rider, was passed in principle unan imous ly . Dr. Rider, in consul ta t ion with Dr. Ar thur Jentz and Dr. Kenneth Wel-ler, was authorized to reword the draf t of the proposa l .

The B o a r d a lso accepted the re-commenda t i on of the Curr iculum Committee that a course entitled " T h e Exceptional Child" be added to the College curr iculum as Psychology 5 6 or Educat ion 56.

The Board tabled a mot ion for-warded f rom the Student Senate which asked that the l i b ra ry h o u r s on S a t u r d a y even ingsbeex tended to 11 p.m.

Dr. Rider pointed out that the l i b r a ry staff is smaller this year than it was last year. According to Mr. May, h i r ing an addi t iona l l i b r a r i an to staff the l i b r a ry on S a t u r d a y night would cost $ 5 0 0 per month .

The c h a i r m a n wondered whe-ther students wanted access to the b o o k s in the l ib rary or s imply wanted a place to study on Satur-day night. "I f the latter is the case , " he said, " c l a s s r o o m s c o u l d

'Toys,' Two War Films To Be Shown by SEE

The Society for the Educated Eye will present three films: " T o y s , " " C h i c a m a u g a , " and " T h e War G a m e " next Wednesday evening at 7 :30 in Dimnent Mem-orial Chapel .

" T h e War G a m e " is a47-minu te documen ta ry of a blow-by-blow enactment of a nuclear war, show-ing fire s torms, mercy killings, melted flesh, civil riots and the chaos of modern war .

This film was or iginal ly pro-duced for television by the British Broadcas t ing Corpo ra t i on , but the film was judged too " v i v i d " an enactment for the general pub-lic to see. It was then shown at movie theaters with great success and in 1967 won an Academy Award for the best s tage docu-mentary .

The two other films, "Chica-

Thomas Working Is To Perform Senior Recital

T h o m a s Working will present his Senior Recital Tuesday in Dim-nent Memorial Chapel at 8 :15 p.m.

Working, a french hornist, will be p lay ing Concerto No. 1 b y Richard Strauss, "E leg ie" by Franc i s Poulenc and Puintet in E flat by Wolfgang Amadeus Mo-zart. His accompan i s t is Robert F o r m s m a .

Part icipat ing in the final se-lection will be Susan B o s m a n on the violin, Suzanne DeVries and Fred Schutmaat , both on the vio-la, and Barb Mackey on the cello.

Working, a music educat ion ma-jor , t ransferred to Hope after at-tending the Universi ty of Ken-tucky in his f r e s h m a n year. He is f rom Holland and has studied under Robert Cecil, associate pro-fessor of music.

be opened for s tudy at con-s iderably less expense ."

K E N SCHROEDER answered that most students need more ac-cess to the reference mater ia ls in the l ib ra ry , ra ther t h a n just a place to study.

Another suggest ion was that the l i b ra ry be closed on F r i d a y nights and opened Sa tu rday . Mr. May ' s in format ion showed that student use of the l i b ra ry on F r i d a y night was min imal . In fo rward ing the mot ion, however . Student Sen-ate President Ron H o o k had asked that the l ib ra ry not be closed du r ing the week in order to open it on S a t u r d a y .

IT WAS DECIDED that Schroe der would consult the Senate about the v a r i o u s al ternat ives and that Dr. Rider would ob ta in more ex act f igures f r o m Mr. May.

The B o a r d also tabled a motion f rom the Curr icu lum Committee which read , " a student m a y re-peat a n y course at Hope College. Grade-poin ts given for the origin-al attempt will be replaced by those earned in the repeated course, but the record of the origi-nal attempt will remain as part of the s tudent ' s record and will be included in his transcript fo r in-fo rma t ion only ."

The Curr iculum Committee is presently s tudying the g r a d i n g system of the College, and the Board felt that the entire report should be received before any one part is passed.

Rol ina Vermeer b rough t f rom the table her motion that " the proper persons be requested to distr ibute the College ca t a log ear-lier so that the f r e s h m e n can p lan more intelligently."

JIM R U B I N S NOTED that while the ca t a log is dated for March , it is not distr ibuted until the fall semester has begun . If the Adminis t ra t ion realized stu-dent feeling, an effort might be m a d e to get the ca t a log to stu-dents earlier, Rubins said.

The motion was passed unani -mously .

A motion w a s also passed that " a p p r o p r i a t e measures be taken to provide for ID card admiss ion to the Hol land Communi ty Pool one night a n d more if possible" because of " the d i s tu rb ing lack of recreat ional facilities at Hope . " This motion had been introduced last week by Vicki Detlefs.

K E N SCHROEDER reported that the Academic Affairs Boa rd wanted student opin ion concern-ing a p roposa l t o o p e n t h e l i b r a r y on Sa tu rday night. The committee wondered if the students would use the l ib ra ry fo r reference mater ia l s or if the s tudents needed a place in which to s tudy.

A straw vote was taken at the meeting. The ma jo r i t y of the sena-tors felt the s tudents needed a place in which they could s tudy on S a t u r d a y night and that class-r o o m s on c a m p u s should be opened. Only a few senators felt it was necessary to open the l ib ra ry so that the students could use the reference materials .

S E N A T E CORRESPONDING secretary Sue Pattie announced that the Senators f rom Crispell Cottage, Welmers Cottage and wing 2B of Kollen Hall are suspended f rom the Senate be-cause they h a v e three unexcused absences f rom Senate meetings.

Residents of these cottages and the Kollen wing must elect a new Senator if they a re to be repre-sented on the Senate. The Senate consti tut ion states that " the va-cancies created shal l be filled . . . by the represented g roup within two school weeks."

The p roposa l on s m o k i n g regu-lations, presented by L a u r a Ham-mon to the Associat ion of Women Students Council , h a s been unani-mously accepted after a two-week period of cons idera t ion by the Council.

T H E PROPOSAL IS " tha t the current prohibi t ion on s m o k i n g except in designated smokers be changed to: Smok ing regulat ions are to be determined by each dor-mitory in accordance with the s t a n d a r d s of the Hol land Fire M a r s h a l l . "

The p roposa l will now be sent to the Student Conduct Committee, and, if passed there, to the Cam-pus Life Boa rd .

T H E E S T A B L I S H M E N T of a new rule or a l ternat ion of a stand-ing one requires the af f i rmat ive vote of a ma jo r i ty of the residents present at a single do rm meeting, or the accumulated votes of clus-t e r / co r r idor meetings.

A vote on s m o k i n g rules can be initiated b y the House Council or by petition of 20 percent of the re-sidents.

In her ra t ionale , Miss Ham-m o n stated that the past ra t ionale

on smoking is " a r c h a i c . " "Socia l prohibit ion on smoking , by men and women, is d i sso lv ing ."

MISS HAMMON ALSO said that " the development and main-tenance of responsibil i ty is a func-tion of f reedom, not of legalism. An element of matur i ty is the abil-ity and the willingness to m a k e de-cisions. Such matur i ty . . .can be nur tured most effectively in the context of f reedom, where there is the oppor tun i ty and the obliga-tion to make decisions . . .

Miss H a m m o n said that a stu-dent must not be protected f rom m a k i n g and t ak ing the respon-sibility for her personal and social decisions. She also said that rules like this " a r e best made by those individuals who must live under them."

SHE C O N C L U D E D her ration-ale by stat ing, " T h e conflict be-tween the rights of the individual and the rights of society is a tra-ditional one, and one that will be encountered as l i v ingun i t s fo rmu-late their own rules in this area.

"We feel that this conflict is not one to be avoided, but r a the r that our deal ing with it can be one means of encou rag ing the growth of the personal and social respon-sibility of Hope women . "

On Better Courses WORDS S U C H AS relevant, mean-

ingful and significant are being heard with increasing frequency

on the Hope College campus . Students and faculty are quest ioning the relevancy of Hope College courses; some are even quest ioning whether the education offered by Hope College is meaningful at all in this decade

These were the type of issues raised Tuesday night when the Hope chapter of the American Association of Universi ty Professors met with some members of the student body. After two hours of heated discussion it was apparen t that both stu-dents and faculty members recognized that some Hope College courses are not as meaningful or worthwhile as they could and should be.

TH E FACULTY MEMBERS at the meeting and some of the professors who did not attend are determined

to improve their courses and their depart-ments. Some half-dozen College disciplines are currendy conducting experimental courses designed to do just that. The ex-perimental f r e shman English course de-scribed in the story on the front page today is just one example of the creative steps which some faculty members are taking to make the courses they teach more worth-while for their students.

The creation ol a new interdisciplinary depar tment by the Academic Affairs B o a r d this week is another healthy improvement . It will br ing meaningful courses to the campus which draw knowledge and talent f rom more than one department.

The senior seminar courses, too often a bastion of irrelevancy in the past, are in the last stages of revision by a special committee at the present moment. Improve-ment in this a rea will be especially wel-come.

These developments speak well for a a rge segment of the faculty; this is at

least one small c ampus where the "con-cerned mas te r -educa tor" cliche has some meaning.

BU T T H E R E IS one thing wrong with this picture: almost all the concern and innovat ion is faculty-

originated, faculty-planned and faculty executed. There is litde or no student in-volvement or initiative. To use the s logan of the New Left, m a n y Hope students simply don t give a d a m n . " T o o many students would rather sit and be lectured at than take an active part in the learning and teaching process. T o o m a n y students would ra ther memorize terms than attempt to be creative. Too m a n y students care litde about the world beyond the fraternity par ty and the big date. N o course or professor can evoke a response f rom a student who does not want to respond. N o one can m a k e a course relevant for a student who carefully limits his horizons ol interest.

The efforts of some of the faculty are admirab le and should certainly be con-tinued. The key to the success of those efforts, however, lies with the student as much as with the faculty. Real improve-ment will be seen when the student body decides that courses need to be more mean-ingful, and then determine to do something about it.

On Vie tnam Editor's Note: More compelling, more graphic than any editorial we could write about the war in Vietnam is the letter he-low. Written last year by a GI from Akron, Ohio, it tells a little oj what Hope grad-uates in Vietnam are involved in today and what this year's graduating class will be involved in tomorrow. Is this the way the United States is ' 'p r o tec ting'' th e r es t of the world? Read the letter—and weep.

DEAR MOM A N D DAD: T o d a y we went on a mission and I 'm not very proud oi myself, my

friends, or my country . We burned every hut in sight!

It was a small rura l network ofvi l lages and the people were incredibly poor . My unit burned and plundered their meager possessions. Let me try to explain the situ-ation to you.

The huts here arethatched palm leaves. Each one has a dried mud bunker inside. These bunkers are to protect the families. Kind ol like air ra id shelters.

My unit commande r s , however ,chose to think that these bunkers are offensive. So every hut we find that has a bunker , we a re ordered to burn to the g round!

When the 10 helicopters landed this morn ing , in the midst of these huts, and six men jumped out of each " c h o p p e r , " we were firing the moment we hit the ground . We fired into all the huts we could. Then we got " o n l ine" and swept the area.

It is then that we burn these huts and take all men old enough to ca r ry a weapon and the " c h o p p e r s " come and get them (they take diem to a collection point a few miles away for in terrogat ion) . The fami-lies don ' t unders tand this. The Viet Cong fill their minds with tales say ing the GIs kill all their men.

So, everyone is crying, begging and p ray ing that we don ' t separate them and take their h u s b a n d s and fathers, sons and grandfa thers . The women wail and moan .

Then they watch in terror as we burn their homes, personal possessions and food. Yes, we burn all rice and shoot all livestock.

SOME OF T H E GUYS are so careless! T o d a y a buddy of mine called " L a D a i " ( " C o m e here") into a hut

and an old m a n came out of the b o m b shelter. My b u d d y told die old man to get away f r o m the hut and since we have to m o v e quickly on a sweep jus t threw a hand g renade into the shelter.

As he pulled the pin the old m a n got excited and started j abbe r ing and runn ing toward my b u d d y and the hut. A GI, not unders tand ing , s topped the old m a n with a

footbal l tackle just as my buddy threw the grenade into the shelter. (There is a lour-second delay on a hand g renade . )

After he threw it, and was running lor cover, (du r ing this four-second de lay) we all heard a baby crying f rom inside the shelter!

There was nothing we could do. After the ex plosion we found the mother,

two children ( ages abou t 6 and 12, boy and girl) and an almost newborn baby. I ha t is what the old m a n was trying to

tell us!

THE S H E L T E R WAS small and nar-row. They were all huddled to-gether. The three oi us dragged out

the bodies onto the f loor of the hut. IT WAS HORRIBLE!!

The children's fragile bodies were torn apar t , literally mutilated. We looked at each other and burned the hut.

1 he old man was just whimpering in disbelief outride the burn ing hut. We walked a w a y and left him there.

My last look was: an old, old man in ragged, torn, dirty clothes on his knees outside the burn ing hut, p r ay ing to Bud-dha . His white ha i r was blowing in the wind and tears were rolling down. . .

WE K E P T on walking, then the three of us separated. There was a hut at a dis-tance and my squad leader told me to go over and destroy it. An oldish m a n came out of the hut.

I checked and made sure no was in it, then got out my matches. The m a n came up to me then, and bowed with his h a n d s in a p ray ing motion over and over.

He looked so sad! He didn' t say any-thing, just kept bowing, begging me not to burn his home.

We were both there, alone, and he was about your age. Dad. With a heavy heart, I hesitatingly put the match to the straw and started to walk away.

D a d , it was so ha rd for me to turn and look at him in the eyes but I did.

I wish I could have cried but I just can ' t anymore .

I threw down my rifle and ran into the now blazing hut and took out every-thing I could save—food, clothes, etc.

Afterward, he took my hand , still say-ing nothing and bowed down touching the back of my hand to his forehead.

MA C H I N E G U N FIRE is coming into our vil lage (Base Camp) . We are being attacked, N O W z s

rs How Hunij phrey Lost X'4.

by Art Buchwald ^ ' /

There are a lot of pos t -mor tems go ing on now as to why Vice President Hubert H u m p h r e y lost the election. I have been conduct ing one myself, and the conclusion I have come to is that the one person re-sponsible for H u m p h r e y ' s defeat was M a y o r Richard Daley of Chicago.

TO U N D E R S T A N D WHAT happened, you have to have some b a c k g r o u n d on Cook County politics. The Democrat ic people of Cook County are a m o n g the most patriot ic in the country. Some of them not only vote once, but twice and three times if they 're interested in the elec-tion. Tradi t ion has it in Cook County that even after you die you still don ' t lose your right to vote.

Every election year , ballot boxes are p repared for different precincts in Cook County. Then, depending on how m a n y votes the Democrats need in Illinois to win, the boxes are sent in. Some years very few boxes a r e needed. Other years the machine needs every one they can get.

THIS YEAR, EVERYTHING was in readiness for the Presidential election. The ballot boxes were stuffed to the br im, and it was just a quest ion of getting the word f rom M a y o r Daley when they should be released.

But something happened this Presi-dential election year to Mayor Daley, as we shall see.

At about 11 p.m., election night, a Cook County precinct cap ta in called in to City Hall to find out when he could start re-leasing the ballot boxes.

"We' re not releasing any this yea r , " the m a n on the other end of the phone said.

"ARE YOU CRAZY?" the precinct capta in yelled. " H u m p h r e y could lose Il-l inois ."

" T h e m a y o r s ays that he will not toler-ate a n y sku l lduggery in Cook County vo t ing . "

" Y o u got to be k idd ing , " the precinct capta in said. " I have three cemeteries still wait ing to vote ."

The m a n on the other end of the line said, " I know it's hard to unders tand , but someth ing happened to the m a y o r at the Democrat ic convention. He became the symbol of law and order to millions and millions of Americans, and he doesn ' t want to hur t that image . "

" B U T WHAT ABOUT Cook Coun ty ' s image?" the precinct cap ta in cried. "We've been able to deliver the vote here for 50 years . If Cook County can ' t control Il-linois, the election will be up for g r a b s . "

" T h e m a y o r told me to tell you that if he hears of one false ballot being cast this year , he'll send the police into your precinct and break every car window in the n e i g h b o r h o o d . "

" I can ' t believe it. We've worked d a y and night on these ballot boxes. We regis-tered people who moved a w a y f rom Chi-c a g o 20 years ago. We've had people vot-ing who haven' t been born yet. Don't tell us all our work has been for naught . What are we supposed to do with all the b o x e s ? "

" T H E MAYOR DOESN'T care. He told me to tell you that if he can' t win honestly in Cook County, he doesn ' t want to win at a l l ."

" E v e n if it means losing the Presi-dency of the United States?"

"1 asked him that and he s a i d , ' W h a t is a man profited if he shall ga in the elec-tion but lose his own soul?' "

"1 got to hear it f rom h im," the pre-cinct m a n said unbelievingly.

"You can't . He's out in Grant Park p lant ing c h r y s a n t h e m u m s that the Yippies tore up in Augus t . "

T H E NEXT MORNING, as the sun c a m e up over the C o n r a d Hilton Hotel, ballot boxes were being burned in every part of Cook County, and with them, go ing

up in smoke, went Hubert H o r a t i o H u m p h r e y ' s chances of becoming the 37th President of the United States.

Updike Novel Depicts Happiness in Absurdity By Jed Green

In J o h n Updike ' s "Of the F a r m , " an established adver-tising consul tant , 35-year-old Joey Robinson, describes one of his weekend visits to his child-hood home, a f a r m in sou thern Pennsylvania .

At the time of the visit, his mother was living there alone. Joey was accompanied that week-end by his second wife, Peggy, and her son, Richard, who h a d never before visited the home and s t rongho ld of Joey ' s mother , Mrs. Robinson.

EARLY IN HIS retrospective na r r a t i on , Joey asserts, " M y mother was fearful ly sensitive to a n y suggest ion that she was being ousted." Her f a rm was her dwind-ling fortification agains t ever-ex-pand ing u rban iza t ion , aga ins t any and all threats to her r ight to live within her idyllic nos ta lg ia .

Mrs. Robinson ' s memories were those involving her h u s b a n d , who was no longer living; her little Joey, the once-budding poet who had gone as t ray; and their sup-posedly once-happy life together on the f a rm.

AS REVEALED BY the often heated dia logue, Peggy, in her orgasm-or iented re la t ionship with Joey, appea red to Mrs. Robinson as a personif icat ion of the forces which effectuated the self-loss, the engulfment , that Joey had sup-posedly suffered. She appea red to Mrs. Robinson as a representative of the m a n y " s t u p i d " yet de-liberate a t t rac t ions which had turned Joey away from the po-etic pursui ts which she h a d in-tended that he take up.

THESE U N A T T R A C T I V E ap-par i t ions of Mrs. Robinson are shown to be riddled with fa l lacy when contrasted with the m a n y sensitive, poetic descript ions which Joey presents th roughout the nar ra t ive . As is revealed in these descriptions, Joey re ta ins his childlike and overf lowing sen-sitivity to that which happened

a r o u n d and within him that week-end.

In addi t ion to the fact that Mrs." Robinson erred when she claimed that Joey had become " a gray-hai red n a m b y - p a m b y , " she was off base with her contention that Peggy was capable^of being a de-l iberate cause of Joey ' s appa ren t decadence.

THIS T E N D E N C Y ON Mrs. Robinson ' s par t to imagine that there were forces working inten-t ional ly aga ins t her interests is touched upon in this statement by Joey: " A s primitive worship-pers invest the indifferent universe with pointed intentions, so my mother supersti t iously read into the an imate world. . .a richness of motive that could ha rd ly be Ihere. . . "

However, Mrs. Robinson was accurate in her app ra i sa l of Peg-gy to this extent. Peggy was "stu-pid ." Joey admit ted it. All that she wanted and got f r o m Joey were experiences that made her feel like a w o m a n , in the rawest sense.

WITH MRS. ROBINSON per sistently imagin ing Peggy to be a foe with malevolent p lans , with Peggy demons t ra t ing her inabili-ty to employ tactful evas ion, and with Joey ' s delicate in termediary position, a r a sh of interpersonal conflicts developed. These con-flicts were commonp lace indeed. They were nonetheless painful for all persons involved.

Joey, in his sensitivity, was more susceptible to the d is turb ing con-sequences of such conflicts than were the other characters . Rich-ard had not yet unlearned " the precocious so lemni ty" that his fatherless years had taught him. Peggy had her man . Mrs. Robin-son h a d her for t ress of nos ta lg ia and a very s h a r p tongue.

YET JOEY'S POSITION and sensitivity exposed him not only to the piercing heat of each in-terpersonal clash and gr ind , but a lso to the joy of happier mom-ents. Had the weekend afforded only grief, even Joey ' s acute per-

ceptiveness might h a v e become a dull, calloused probe.

As it was, Joey continues th roughout the n a r r a t i o n a sensi-tive and expressive m a n , a poet, working in an effort to cope with his suppress ive milieu. His en-vi ronment on the f a r m was sup-pressive in that it was over-stocked with inescapable conflicts which rendered his existence there ab-surd.

EACH CHARACTER OF this novel h a s his or her unique r a n g e of interests. Whenever any one of these charac te rs became involved in a close relat ionship with another , conflicting interests ap-peared and clashed. Because none of Mr. Updike ' s charac te rs exist in a total independence f rom close in terpersonal relat ionships, they cannot permanent ly escape these clashes.

If life is to have mean ing for Joey, he must be able to unify his ideal with the real world. His ideal concept of the " g o o d life" consists of being allowed to pur-sue his own interests while simul-taneously enjoying close and fruit-ful re la t ionships with others who are a lso pursuing their interests.

HIS CONFLICT-RIDDEN en v i ronment on the f a r m would not permit a realization of this ideal. Thus Joey ' s existence there was, for him, absurd and meaning-less.

Joey ' s recognition of this dilem-m a did not crush him, nor did it render him calloused. He ac-cepted the inevitable conflicts and consequential absurdi ty . With this acceptance he was free to savor the m o m e n t a r y joys which his ex-istence, as full of conflicts as it might have been, did not deny him.

PROBABLY T H E MOST fre-quent criticism of Mr. Updike is that he seems unab le to main ta in his reader ' s interest in dramat i -zat ions of the commonp lace with-out becoming sordid and senti-mental. What I infer f rom this criticism is that Mr. Updike 's use of the sordid and sentimental ought to be considered a " c h e a p trick."

When at tempting to apply my interpretation of this criticism to " O n the F a r m , " I encounter dif-ficulty. In this novel the sordid and sentimental events are not ex t raneous matter that has been piped in on the sly and stored at strategic points for tactical in-jection into readers who would otherwise leave the field of battle out of sheer b o r e d o m .

THESE E V E N T S ARE thoroughly realistic movements within the nar ra t ive . They are both consistent with and compli-mentary to the other movements which go into creating "Of the P ' a rm ' s" run-of-the-mill a tmos-phere wherein much of our modern world is shown for what it really is.

In my est imation, Mr. Updike, with "Of the F a r m , " has succeed-ed brill iantly in an attempt to cre-ate a relevant and reveal ing work of art.

Racism and Retaliation By Bob Blanton

Submitted By Hose a Stevens

It is evident to a few, but un-for tunate ly not to most, that Americans, as a people, are in their declining years as far as their mater ia l , mil i tary and hypo-critical w a y s of solving problems go.

IT IS ALSO evident that a great many people in this count ry are in-different. Others care too much to really know what is happen ing and what can happen now and in the future. The h u m a n relations issue, " r ac i sm and reta l ia t ion," has been so d rawn out of propor-tion by semi-sincere politicians, hypocrites and those who are un-doubtedly apathetic that it is only a movement that perpetrates more hatred, prejudice and discr imina-tion. This then camouf lages the little love, respect and unders tand-ing that do exist.

With this in mind I now say these words in all sincerity— "Amer ica t oday is in a terrible state of affairs whether a b r o a d or here at home ." The Ameri-can Dream is far f r o m being a reality and almost impossible to attain. By the American Dream, I mean the ideal a tmosphere of equal oppor tun i ty for all and not for a select few—that is to say equality in education, apprentice-ship t ra in ing , as well as equal and fa i r representat ion of leader-ship, for all minori ty g r o u p s and not for a select few a n d the vast major i ty of whites in this coun-try.

AMERICA DOES N O T belong just to a few so-called liberals and conservat ives, so-called goody -goody hypocri t ical Chris-tians that seem to yell so loud as to distort and misinterpret m a n y

of the issues with which the Uni-ted States is involved th rough ir-ra t ional subjectivism and with materialistic ally-inclined minds. In other words, all that has been perpetrated is "Amer ican Bigo-t ry ."

With those thoughts in mind, consider the following, as to b r ing about a creative justice in the minds of Americans, s t imulat ing those elements of love and under-s tanding, as well as compass ion as J ames Baldwin put it.

"TRY TO IMAGINE how you would feel if you woke up one morn ing to find the sun shining and the s tars aflame. You would be fr ightened because it is out of the order of nature. Any up-heaval in the universe is terrify-ing because it so p rofoundly at-tacks one 's sense of one's own real i ty ."

Try to imagine what the cause would have been, if you woke up one morn ing , perhaps Sunday , and found half the block in " a s h e s " and the other half in " f l a m e s . " Try to Imagine walk-ing downsta i rs , not hear ing the voice of mother and f inding father s lumped in his chair by the bullet that b roke the glass, that winged your brother , mat landed behind his ear .

TRY TO CONCEIVE m a n y bodies, black and white alike, lying in the streets across moist grass—freshly soaked with b lood, cold and quite still. Try to ima-gine Death on a mass ive scale in each state, in every city, in f ront of m a n y homes, on every street. Just try to imagine.

Try to unders tand that the cries

of the present m a y very well be the pleas of mercy tomor row.

Could there be an America to-mor row as there is a Vietnam to-d a y ? Could there be guerr i l la war-fa re on the battlefield for f reedom here in the States as there is across the water? Can there be a peace tomorrow—brother beside brother—despite brother against brother t oday?

WILL T H E LOVE that we speak of so t oday , be found in the days of t o m o r r o w ? Will there be a Chris t iani ty t omor row as meaningful as hypocr i sy seems to be t oday?

When will the minds of t o d a y ' s America be connected with the Christ of yes terday? When can a child walk the streets wi thoutfear , without strife, without malice? America, when?

What does it take to convince our white bro ther that he is not and will not be free until h i sb lack brother is free as well? What does it take to b r ing abou t the under-s tanding thai mater ia l power is not the answer; tljat keeping another down does not lift you up, but only leaves you by the way-side?

WHAT IS IT, America, that will make you unde r s t and?Where is the place, America, to find the love, the peace we speak of and strive for so t o d a y ? Is there such a place, America?

Try to imagine, try to imagine, just try to imagine the American Dream. Try to see, America, the n igh tmare that s ta lks us.
