Grant received....

Lab renovations continued Hope has r e c e i v e d a $1,200

grant from the Morley Brothers Foundation of Saginaw to assist in underwri t ing the cost of renovat-ing the college's language labora-tory.

T H E GIFT was announced by E.B. Morley, J r . , president of the f o u n d a t i o n who no ted t h a t al-though Hope is outside the geogra-phic area in which their foundation no rma l ly m a k e s g r a n t s , t h e i r interest in Hope's plans to imple-m e n t a new l a n g u a g e p r o g r a m called the "Dartmouth Intensive Language Model" influenced their decision to approve a grant .

The new language program is s c h e d u l e d to go in to e f f e c t in J anua ry 1978 with an intensive course in beginning French to be taught by Prof. J .A. Creviere, who

also was responsible for draf t ing the proposal for renovation of the language laboratory. Full imple-m e n t a t i o n is p l a n n e d fo r t h e 1978-79 academic year .

DEAN Jacob E. Nyenhuis, dean for the humanities and temporary c h a i r m a n of t h e D e p a r t m e n t of Foreign Languages and Li tera ture expressed grea t enthusiasm about the grant . "These funds will enable us to purchase much of the badly-n e e d e d e q u i p m e n t for t h e lan-guage laboratory," he said.

" A l t h o u g h we a r e s e e k i n g fur ther external funding for this p r o j e c t , we a s s u m e t h a t t h e College will also have to invest some of its capital funds in the r e n o v a t i o n p r o j e c t . We plan to complete the renovation in two stages during the next year so we

can continue to use the facilities for all s t u d e n t s en ro l l ed in language study."

H O P E ALSO recently comple-ted the conversion of part of the language laboratory into a well-e q u i p p e d l e a r n i n g and r e s o u r c e center . The center contains carrels for simultaneous viewing of slide presentat ions in foreign culture and l i s t e n i n g to a r e c o r d e d description of the slides. It also has a video monitor, short wave radio, r e f e r e n c e l i b r a r y , fo re ign- lan-guage newspapers and magazines, and a s tudy area.

"The combination of these two facilities will greatly enrich our p r o g r a m s in l a n g u a g e and cul-ture," reported Nyenhuis, "since t h e y e x t e n d and e x p a n d t h e classroom experience on an indivi-dual-user, library-like basis."

Van Wylen speaks of Japan In t h i s and t w o s u c c e e d i n g

articles I will share some of the impressions I gained during our recent visit to Japan. I realize tha t being in Japan for two weeks in no sense qualifies one as an exper t . Yet, initial impressions have their s i g n i f i c a n c e b e c a u s e t h e y a r e gained before one takes things for granted.

In this first article I will touch on education, particularly college a n d u n i v e r s i t y e d u c a t i o n . T h i s re la tes to the primary purpose of my trip, which was to participate in the 100th anniversary of the founding of Meiji Gakuin Univer-sity.

T h e o r ig ins of Mei j i Gaku in i nvo lve a n u m b e r of s e p a r a t e i n s t i t u t i o n s , such as t h e h igh school, a seminary, and a four-year college. The university itself was e s t a b l i s h e d in 1949. Today t h e t o t a l p r o g r a m of Mei j i Gaku in involves not only a university, but t w o high schools (one in t h e suburbs and one in the city), and a junior high.

T h e r e a r e s e v e r a l s t r i k i n g things about higher education in the Tokyo area. At least 80% of t h e s t u d e n t s a r e en ro l l ed in pr ivate colleges and universities, and less than 20% in public institu-tions. In the res t of the country the proportion is more nearly equal. F u r t h e r , about 10% of the enroll-m e n t in Tokyo is in C h r i s t i a n colleges. What makes this particu-larly striking is the fact tha t less t h a n 1% of t h e p o p u l a t i o n of Japan , which is about 110,000,000 (a country the size of California) identify themselves as Christian. F u r t h e r , t h e r e is v e r y k e e n c o m p e t i t i o n for admi s s ion t o college. Each college gives its own a d m i s s i o n e x a m i n a t i o n s t o i t s applicants. Last year Meiji Gakuin h a d 26,000 a p p l i c a n t s fo r a f reshman class of 2,000. Actually t h e charge for these admissions examinations (about $50) repre-s e n t s a f a i r ly good s o u r c e of income for the universities.

Japanese universities are organ-

ized by various faculties ra ther t h a n d e p a r t m e n t s as we a r e organized. The various "faculties" correspond to the majors which are offered. Meiji Gakuin Univer-s i t y , for e x a m p l e , h a s four faculties: a College of Liberal Arts wi th D e p a r t m e n t s of Eng l i sh L a n g u a g e and L i t e r a t u r e , and French Li terature; a College of Socio logy wi th D e p a r t m e n t s of Sociology and Social W o r k ; a College of Economics with Depart-m e n t s of Economics and Com-merce; and a College of Law. Meiji Gakuin does have a very consider-able evening enrollment in these programs. A college such as Meiji Gakuin does not have a science f acu l ty pe r se . I t does h a v e a sc ience p r o g r a m , bu t it is not authorized by the government to o f f e r m a j o r s in t h i s a r e a . The science depar tments are amazing-ly strong, considering the fact that they do not offer a program for majors . One significant factor is tha t at Meiji Gakuin the student-faculty ratio is 50 to 1 (this may be s o m e w h a t m i s l e a d i n g b e c a u s e there are many part- t ime faculty members); at Hope is it 15 to 1.

The principal source of income for these private universities is t u i t i o n . Th i s a m o u n t s t o a b o u t 80% of the operat ing budget with 20% coming from the government. Pr iva te sources of income, such as we receive for Hope through gifts, are relatively unknown in Japan. (At Hope about 60% of the total budget, which includes room and board, is paid by s tudents , about 20% by the various financial aid programs, about 20% from gifts, e n d o w m e n t income, and o t h e r sources.)

Because competiton is so keen to g e t in to co l lege , h igh school s tuden ts s tudy very hard for these entrance examinations. Most stu-d e n t s a s p i r e t o go to t h e b e s t university possible and to do so take the extrance examinations for th ree or four colleges. In this way they coyer the range of possibili-t ies which they believe they have

to gain admission. S tudents devote much time and energy during their senior year to prepar ing for these examinations. Because s tudents s tudy so hard to en te r the univer-sity, and because almost no one is flunked out of the university once t h e y a r e a d m i t t e d , t h e r e is a t e n d e n c y for s t u d e n t s to s t u d y much less in college than in high school. My impression is tha t this is jus t the opposite as regards high school and college in the United States .

The importance of preparing for these examinations was brought home to me in a conversation with a young man whom I had known in Ann Arbor when he was a high school s tudent from 1962 to 1965 wh i l e his f a t h e r w a s a v i s i t i ng p r o f e s s o r a t t h e U n i v e r s i t y of Michigan. He re turned to Japan immediately af ter graduat ing from Ann A r b o r High School and aspired to study physics at Tokyo I m p e r i a l U n i v e r s i t y , one of t h e best universit ies in Tokyo. (One of the interest ing things I learned w a s t h a t one of t h e R e f o r m e d C h u r c h m i s s i o n a r i e s p layed a leading role in establishing this u n i v e r s i t y in t h e 1870's.) On r e t u r n i n g t o J a p a n he took an additional year of high school and then spent two years of s tudy on his own, with some help from a tutor , simply prepar ing to pass the ent rance examinations at Tokyo I m p e r i a l U n i v e r s i t y . He was s u c c e s s f u l , and j u s t r e c e n t l y completed his doctorate in physics.

One other very interest ing thing which I o b s e r v e d is t h a t t h e c h a r g e s fo r t h e f i r s t y e a r a r e significantly higher (about double) as compared to those for succeed-ing years . This additional fee for the f i rs t year is considered as a c o n t r i b u t i o n t o w a r d t h e cos t of providing t h e facilities which the s tudent will use dur ing his years in college. This is necessary because the re is relatively little emphasis on gifts, and colleges must build f ac i l i t i e s by b o r r o w i n g money

Dykstra aids committee formation

Dr. D. Ivan Dykst ra of the Hope ph i lo sophy d e p a r t m e n t w a s in Washington, D.C. Nov. 17-19 to assist in the formation of a nation-wide b i p a r t i s a n c o m m i t t e e of Americans for the Canal Treaties (COACT).

Heading the list of convenors of the formation-meeting were for-mer Senator Hugh Scott who until h is r e t i r e m e n t had been t h e Republican Minority leader, and Governor Averell Harriman, dis-t i n g u i s h e d s e n i o r s t a t e s m a n of Democratic politics. Approximate-ly 1,200 community leaders from all p a r t s of t h e c o u n t r y w e r e present .

T h e P a n a m a Canal T r e a t i e s , which come up for ratification vote in the Senate in early 1979, are the culmination of a movement which had its inception in the days of the Truman Administration, was fur-thered by Pres ident Eisenhower, and reached the beginnings of the formal negotiation stage during

t h e a d m i n i s t r a t i o n of P r e s i d e n t Johnson. Negotiations continued, wi th full p r e s i d e n t i a l s u p p o r t d u r i n g t h e Nixon and Ford administrations, and were finally concluded in this first year of the Car te r administration. They were ratified this fall by a plebiscite of the Panamanian people.

Keynote speakers at the Wash-ington meeting of COACT were Vice President Mondale; former Secre tary of State Henry Kissin-ger; Sal Linowitz, who along with Ellsworth Bunker served as chief United S ta tes negotiator of the T r e a t i e s ; and S e c r e t a r y of t h e Navy Clayton. The meetings were c l imaxed by a W h i t e ^House reception during which President C a r t e r a c k n o w l e d g i n g " t h e big-gest crowd of people I have seen in the White House at one time," urged members of the Committee to be a channel for dissemination of i n f o r m a t i o n a b o u t t h e much-misunderstood treat ies.

Page 2 Hope College anchor

Communication breakdown isj-WDeRiA/cS-In the November 18th issue of the

anchor in a letter to the editor, Mr. Carl R. Daudt stated that the anchor has not been realizing its potential for being a valuable source of information. His ref-erence was to the recent attacks on campus.

A

Daudt stated that the anchor had printed very little information about the attacks. He also stated that the main pur-pose of the anchor was to inform its readers of current campus events and that information on the recent assaults should be published.

The anchor s main source of informa-tion for the attacks is Public Safety Direc-tor Glenn Bareman. In a Community Hour forum held November 10th Bareman stated that he was hesitant in using the

student newspaper as a means of commu-nication. He complained that in the past he has been misquoted and misinterpreted by the anchor staff.

In order for the anchor to print infor-mation about the attacks, we must first be able to obtain information about them. Since Bareman is our main source of in-formation, the staff has been able to get very little information on the attacks.

The anchor has printed articles on the recent attacks to the best of its ability based on the facts and information that we were able to obtain from our sources.

If the anchor is expected to live up to the potential that Mr. Daudt mentioned in his letter, we must have cooperation from Hope's administration and its offi-cials. Without such cooperation the anchor can only be as effective as the information that we are able to get.

The anchor's opinion on printing more articles on the attacks is this: without more facts and figures on the incidents, any attempt to further cover them would be ineffective

Giving God a bad name by K. Gary Hasek

Being home, as I was for the Thanks-giving holiday, gave me some opportune time to indulge in reading the local news-papers. Amidst all the local news about the new mayor and the international stories about the Begin-Sadat meeting, I spotted a space-filler article about a recent demonstration by a church in Watertown, New York. It seems that the members of the church were protesting the showing of the movie "Oh God!" by their local cinema. When the demonstrators were asked if they had seen the film they responded with a negative reply.

I believe that there are too many of us "Christians" who respond in irrational ignorance to a great variety of what is part of our culture. Another example of this sort of "ignorance" has recently occurred in some churches where there has been a gathering held for the burning of certain "worldly" possessions, i.e., recordings of rock music, televisions, etc.

There definitely should be some sort of discernment between the valuable things to one's life and those which are not. There is some difference of opinion, however, as

to what is or isn't valuable to one's life according to each individual.

Christians must not go around calling grass pink when to most people it is apparently green. If they do the obvious result will be that the people who aren't Christians will think that Christians are a bunch of misguided fools instead of those given to love, understanding and service as Jesus whould have us be.

Before we go around saying "This is evill" or "That is blasphemous!" we would do well to first observe with understanding what exactly we are doing in this process of judgement. Are we rationally approach-ing the subject with valid criticism or are we enjoying a game of casting the first stone?

I didn't agree with everything that was presented in the movie "Oh God!", how-ever, the overall portrayal of God by George Burns and his prophet by John Denver was very valuable to me. The basic message of God via George Bums is "Tell them that I am, that I care and that they still can make it work." The church would do better to heed that message rather than to demonstrate foolishness.

Vespers charges deplored

Dr. James Malcolm Dean for Fine Arts Hope College

Dear Sir: It seems that Christmas is becoming

commercialized everywhere, including Hope's campus -- supposedly a strong Christian community. The reference being made is to the mandatory contribu-tion placed on Christmas Vespers again this year. Christmas Vespers is, as tradi-tion has determined it, a worship service to celebrate the birth of Jesus. Should we have to pay to worship such a great event?

After talking with a few people about the reasons and their opinions on this matter, we came up with a few interesting facts:

1. One faculty member claimed that Christmas Vespers is really just a concert in the form of a worship service, whatever that means. However, Vespers has tradi-tionally been intended to be a worship service of celebration.

2. The reason for the charge is to con-trol the number of people attending Vespers. Apparently the concern is that some people won't value their tickets enough to attend at their reserved times, thereby either overloading the seating capacity or leaving unfilled seats.

3. Two of the members of the committee who made the decision to charge for Vespers didn't know where the money was

0 0 ^ COMIAvMC/fT/OAJ.'

Vespers charges deplored.. that was taken in last year. At least 3,000 tickets were sold.

4. It seems that many people in the surrounding community are none too happy with the decision to charge for Vespers.

5. One faculty member stated that President Van Wylen said the charge for Vespers would not be continued after last year's Christmas Vespers.

We wish to reply to these facts with the following ideas:

1. If Vespers was simply a concert, why shouldn't it be free admission like other concerts on campus and in the community?

2. We cannot seriously believe that the charge for Vespers is going to solve the problem of numbers of people attending the services. Dimnent Chapel will still be overloaded beyond its seating capacity and people who wish to attend will still be turned away.

Why not just give a limited number of tickets to each person? This system should work nearly as well as charging admission, and would also allow a wider range of people to attend as it would eliminate enormous groups brought in by members of the college community.

There is no charge for graduation and baccalaureate. The arrangement of limited tickets combined with allowing those who don't hold tickets to look for seats 15 minutes before the service works rather well. Or would it be possible to distribute free tickets for Vespers at the Chapel on the day of the services? Reservations could be called in ahead of time and a list prepared.

As reservations were picked up they could be checked off the list and any extra tickets that had been reserved, but not picked up could be distributed on a first come, first served basis. This should eliminate overcrowding and unfilled seats.

3. We question why the decision to

(continued)

charge for Vespers should hold when there are many people against it.

We realize that it is very difficult to make a decision that will please all those concerned. But it seems unreasonable to charge to worship God. This required gate admission charge is surely different from tithings, voluntary contributions, and other payments which allow churches to financially maintain themselves. Of course, at least this year, the public will have to do it at Hope, for even though they might disagree with the charge, they won't want to miss the fantastic senkce that Christmas Vespers is.

It would be a shame though, to find that we have to pay a minimal amount to get into church anymore. Somehow, we don't think that God intended things this way. After all, God didn't ask for a down payment before He sent His Son. The Nu Beta Chapter of Alpha Phi Omega will be ushering at Christmas Vespers again this year, and again, free of charge. Most of us, though, wanted to express our strong discontent with the action on the part of our fine college. We sincerely hope things will change in the future.

Sincerely, Some of the members

Bergstrom's decision to accept the role of Oedipus was influenced by many factors. One is that he enjoys involvement with students, having taught for three years at Illinois Wesleyan.

The opportunity to talk to a professional in the performance field is a real help to those students whose goals lead them in that direction.

Bergstrom also views the role of Oedipus with great interest. "It is one of the great roles in dramatic li terature. It ranks with Hamlet and o t h e r g r e a t c h a r a c t e r s . " B e r g s t r o m ' s e n t h u s i a s m for the play itself was obvious as he spoke

Behind closed doors.... by Mike Drahos

Behind t he closed doors of P h e l p ' s C o n f e r e n c e Room deci-sions were being made that could alter the lifestyle of every person in the world. 17 courageous Hope students braved the task before them as they focused on the vital p r o b l e m s t h a t face t he Uni ted States.

ACTUALLY it was only t he students planning to go on the Washington Honors Semester, dis-cuss ing p l a t f o r m proposa l s t h a t each of them had written, in hopes of getting better acquainted with some of the problems that will be faced in Washington D. C. while they are there.

But one would have never recognized this as the gnashing forces of liberalism and conserva-tism challenged each student as they explained their proposal.

FINALLY, af ter four weeks of intense debate, the voting night came. "Iron gavel" Holmes called the meeting to order, which was a foreign word to each of us, and one by one we proceeded to adopt an official platform. Conley Zomer-maand was the first to put his proposal on the line.

His de s i r e for a b i -par t i san examination of the Civil Service Commiss ion m e t with amazing agreement and passed by a score of 16-1. This seemed to set the pat tern for the rest of the night as all but three proposals were to pass. Out of the three proposals t h a t failed one was a minor i ty plank, and another was defeated by only one vote.

THE ONE o r ig ina l proposal which met with a sound thrashing happened to be my own (The big loser got to write this article). In an act of k i n d n e s s and moral responsibility, my proposal was to add the classification of Selective Consc ien t ious Ob jec to r to t he Selective Service Act should the draft ever be reinstated. In a vote of 14-3 my proposal was mangled.

The only other "original" propo-sal to meet with defeat belonged to Mr. C o n s e r v a t i v e himself , Dick M e d e m a . In a r e - s u b m i t t e d , t oned-down proposa l Medema

asked t h a t P r e s i d e n t C a r t e r s e lect ion r e f o r m package be, "blocked, defeated, denounced and otherwise crunched into tiny bits."

IN A CLOSE roll call vote the forces of Mulcahey, VanDeVusse, McCullough, Davenport, Drahos, DeYoung, Bradley, Muysken, and Orwig t r i u m p h e d over DeVree , Drake, Byl, Zomermaand, Mede-ma, Englehardt, Hoeksema, and Adolf, thus blocking, defeating, de-nouncing and otherwise crushing into t iny bi ts Mr. Medema ' s proposal.

The final proposal to meet defeat was a minority plank drawn up in d i r ec t opposi t ion to Don DeYoung's proposal to ban Nu-clear Fission Plant construction. The minority plank was defeated 12-3 with two abstensions while DeYoung's proposal passed 11-3 with three members abstaining.

FOR THE most part the rest of the proposals met with a congeni-a l i ty not known to our g roup before. In Renze's proposal for gun control Medema did ask if robbery was a legitimate excuse for having a handgun , and de regu la t ion met its expected opposition, but as ide Irom t h a t , t h ings went smoothly and quickly.

In two hours we had come up with the answers to all of U. S. p r o b l e m s . The following is the platform we came up with.

Financial aid annex opens Did you e v e r have ques t ions

concerning financial aid, or need financial aid documents, but didn't have the time to trot over to the off ice in Van Raa l t e? For t he people who can't come to us, we're coming to you!

The F inanc ia l Aid Office has developed an annex to serve the students during the off-hours. The Financial Aid Annex, operated by a t r a i n e d pee r counselor , is a service to assist students with the financial aid process by making available financial aid information and documentation.

The Annex, in an informal and available setting, is an at tempt to deve lop a closer r e l a t ionsh ip between the Financial Aid Office and the students of Hope. The student counselor, Brian Hipwell, will be available for questions and assistance, coordinating student concerns with the main office. The Annex is located in the lobby office in Phelps dormitory.

This se rv ice will be open to s tudents on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday during the hours of 5-7 p.m. During these hours we want s tudents to feel free to drop

$

by and voice sugges t i ons , ask questions, pick up needed financial aid f o r m s or s imply become better acquainted with the policies of the financial aid office.

This s t u d e n t to s t u d e n t ap-proach is to help provide more awareness concerning the Finan-cial Aid Office and to refer student concerns to the off ice. The Financial Aid Office invites you to drop in at your Annex. The Annex is for your use, but like anything else it won't be much unless you utilize it. Take advantage of finan-cial aid - take advantage of The Annex.

" S o m e s tudents and faculty had arr ived over an hour and a half prior to the concert to ge t good seats, grateful tha t they had free admission. The performance began a little a f te r 8:00, and lasted nearly two-and-a-half hours with a ten minute inter-mission to give the musicians a break.

T h e N e w B r u b e c k Q u a r t e t , utilizing electric keyboards, bass gui tar , drums, and of course piano, covered various jazz styles extend-ing into other realms of music as well, including a bit of Ragtime.

another highlight of the show, had Chris Brubeck exchange his bass guitar for a trombone to much enthusiasm. The newer music, for the most part, was quite access-ible, relying more on a pulsing beat and intensity of playing than on innovat ion. This was more popular with the younger part of the audience, as the trend of a fusion b e t w e e n rock and jazz seems to be growing popular.

Al though working as a unit, each man had several solos. Father Brubeck would occasionally take leave of his piano and let his sons take over, leaving some fans d ismayed. One w a s given the impress ion that Brubeck was

Bergstrom appears as Oedipus

(continued from page 3J

about why he chose to take the ro le , " T h e p l a y w r i g h t ha s cap-tured something really special -- in both the play and the character . It is a good r e n d i t i o n of h u m a n nature, and this play was wri t ten in the 5th Century B.C. So much of the play is in the past, the i n f o r m a t i o n c o m e s ou t in t h e unraveling of the story. This is what makes the play so powerful --its compactness. Compactness is w h a t m a k e s t h e t n e a t r e so exciting."

Coming all the way to Holland, Michigan to do a role has its disad-vantages however -- especially if y o u ' r e m a r r i e d . B u t , t o u r s and engagements which take an actor away from home are a reality tha t pe r fo rmers must deal with. This, however, does not make it any e a s i e r . Mr . B e r g s t r o m ' s wi fe is also an actress . As he talked about the difficulty, and inevitability, of separat ion, Bergstrom remarked tha t t h e r e was some consolation in the fact tha t separation served as a kind of renewal for the relation-ship. Thea t re itself causes a lot of separation, even among friends. Bergst rom sees the thea t re as a wor ld which p r o m o t e s quick fr iendships and then demands long separat ions. All that , though, is taken into account as he sees it, " t h e t h e a t r e is a l a r g e f ami ly , s e p a r a t e d g e o g r a p h i c a l l y , who have a wonderful t ime when they get together ."

All of this may seem like a huge demand on a performer . Comment-ing on it Bergstrom said, "While involved in a snow you must throw

Ferguson is perhaps one of the g r e a t e s t t r u m p e t p l a y e r s of all t ime, and it is indeed a pleasure to be able to bring him here to Hope this fall. I hope that you will all be ab l e to t a k e a d v a n t a g e of t h i s event . If I can be of any help to you, please let me know at ext. 2111.

cords, and an examination when appropriate . Special attention will be d i r e c t e d t o w a r d i d e n t i f y i n g s tuden ts with a condition requir-ing a special program or those who , fo r o t h e r r e a s o n s , c anno t

art icipate in a regular program of ealth fitness.

P a r t two of the program is the foundational knowledge provided by a one-semester course, "The Foundations of Health Fitness." T h e o b j e c t of t h e c o u r s e is to provide a sound academic under-s t a n d i n g of hea l t h f i t n e s s and personal experiences on which a lifelong commitment can be based.

The first half of the semester will mix lectures with laboratory experiences which will reinforce t h e c o n c e p t s c o v e r e d t h r o u g h p a r t i c i p a t i o n . The concep t of health fitness, the role of nutrition and diet, the value of different f o r m s of e x e r c i s e , p r inc ip l e s of motor fitness, and muscle s trength and endurance are some of the areas to be covered in lectures. T h e l a b o r a t o r y will p r o v i d e a personal evaluation of a s tudent 's l e a l t h and m o t o r p e r f o r m a n c e i tness by test ing body composi-

t ion , c a r d i o v a s c u l a r e f f i c i ency , muscle s t rength and endurance, and m o t o r p e r f o r m a n c e ski l ls . S tudents will be required to keep a p e r s o n a l log of e x e r c i s e and dietary habits to evaluate their present pa t te rns of behavior and to beg in mov ing t o w a r d t h e

development of habits which will carry over into the remainder of their lives.

During the second half of the semester the staff will work with each ind iv idua l t o d e v e l o p a personal program of exercise and nutrition.

The next s tep of the program will be a reouired skills course which the s tudent is ureed to take

recreational activities; organized a e r o b i c a c t i v i t i e s and hea l t h fi tness clubs which will promote individual participation through peer encouragement; the availabi-lity of the new Physical Education Center for informal recreational activities over 100 hours per week; refer ra ls from the Health Clinic, Counseling Center , and residence halls' staff of s tudents who have

h e a l t h or e m o t i o n a l p r o b l e m s which call for a change in their phys i ca l a c t i v i t i e s ; a con t i nua l e m p h a s i s on t h e N u t r i t i o n a l A w a r e n e s s P r o g r a m and f ina l ly the introduction of a campus-wide

rge immediately following the comple-t ion of t h e F o u n d a t i o n s c o u r s e . The purpose of this course is to enable s tudents to fur ther develop skills so tha t physical activity will become an enjoyable and regular part of their lives.

Because the overall goal of the program is the development of a l i fe long c o m m i t m e n t to hea l t h fitness, the fourth s tep is the most important. Here the s tudent must make the decision to voluntarily c o n t i n u e t h e p r o g r a m in hea l t h fitness af ter the completion of the required courses.

In o r d e r to he lp t h e s t u d e n t continue the program, an atmos-phere on campus will be developed which promotes and encourages participation in a health fitness program.

Th i s a t m o s p h e r e will be achieved by providing an oppor-tunity to continue skill develop-m e n t by e n r o l l i n g in a d d i t i o n a l skill courses; the availability of a c o m p r e h e n s i v e and va r i ed pro-gram of intramural and organized

from banks. The amount of this in i t ia l c h a r g e is used to r e p a y t h e s e d e b t s . One b y - p r o d u c t of this practice is that there is very little t ransfe r from one university to another , because if a s tudent did so he would again have to pay this "entrance fee."

Meiji Gakuin, along with most universities in the Tokyo area, has only a few residence halls. Most s t u d e n t s live a t h o m e and commute to the campus. The train, subway, and bus system in Tokyo is excellent. Yet the distances are

r e a t and many s t u d e n t s and acuity members spend an hour to

an h o u r and a half on publ ic t ransportat ion going to and from the university.

T h e s a m e is t r u e for m a n y elementary, junior high, and high school s t u d e n t s . Many of t h e s e s t u d e n t s a t t e n d schools some d i s t a n c e away f rom t h e i r home and s p e n d c o n s i d e r a b l e t i m e in t r a v e l . A lmos t all e l e m e n t a r y , j u n i o r h igh, and high school s tudents wear uniforms and it is v e r y s t r i k i n g to see s u b w a y s , trains, and sidewalks filled both morning and evening with school children in these uniforms.

I visited with a friend, who had been a graduate s tudent at the University of Michigan some years ago, who w a n t e d to send his seventh grade son to a particularly ) r e s t i g i o u s j u n i o r h igh school o c a t e d some d i s t a n c e f r o m his lome. To do so, this boy gets up

shortly af te r 5 p.m., leaves home

at 6 a.m., walks 15 minutes to catch a bus to a railroad station, and t h e n t a k e s t h r e e d i f f e r e n t t r a i n s en r o u t e to school . He r e a c h e s school t w o h o u r s a f t e r leaving home. In the evening he reverses this process. The reason for all t h i s t r a v e l is s imply to enable this son to have the best possible junior high education.

Japan is a country which has very limited natural resources and has a large population relative to its size. Its major resource is its peop le . Yet , it c o m p e t e s v e r y successfully in the world markets and is one of the leading industrial nations. There are a number of r e a s o n s why th i s is so, bu t c e r t a i n l y one of t h e m is t h e e m p h a s i s on e d u c a t i o n and t h e diligence of the Japanese people in pursuing education diligently.

Japan, of course, does not have all the answers. But, a study of t h e i r s y s t e m and t h e d i l igence with which the Japanese pursue excellence in education is a very rewarding and educational process for those of us from the United States . The literacy ra te in Japan is one of the highest in the world and it certainly enjoys outstanding s u c c e s s in t e c h n o l o g y and busi-ness.
