VOLUME 89 - ISSUE NO. 12 DECEMBER 10, 1976

Study breaks available That certain time of year has

once again set in at Hope - finals time.

MANY OF YOU may think that you will have a nervous break-down from worrying about your exams. Others of you are probably wondering whether or not you are joing to shoot yourself a f t e r laving studied your brains off for ). Ivan's exam, taken it and then

walked out of the room in a daze still not knowing "what we mean by what we say when we talk about what we do."

To help get rid of some of the frustrations, Saga and SAC have planned a few activities to serve as study breaks.

TODAY IS reading day, so get all of t ha t last minute r ead ing done. This even ing King Kong comes to Winants Auditorium as t h e SAC film of the week.

King Kong reappears Saturday evening and the Hope basketball team returns to the Civic Center for a home game. After the game, SAC is sponsor ing an old-fash-ioned sock hop. WTAS will provide the music from 10 p.m. - 1 a.m. in the ballroom. Admission is free.

SUNDAY through Wednesday nights. Saga is serving munchies f rom 10-11 p.m. in the Kletz. Sunday is b rownies and punch night followed by donuts and hot chocolate on Monday night. Coffee and coffee cake are featured on Tuesday night , and Wednesday night is sundae night.

In an effort to help out with your s tud ies , the l ibrary will remain open until midnight every night but Saturday. Chaplain Hillegonds has also announced t ha t the Chapel will remain open until 2 a.m.

Bareman discloses facts about abduction by Terese L. Graham

"We've got rumors going around that are unreal," was how Public Safety Chief Glen Bareman des-cr ibed the pandamonium sur-rounding the abduction of a Hope coed a week ago Monday.

D E S P I T E t h e many s to r i e s circulating to the contrary, only one s t u d e n t has been abduc ted from Hope this school year. Pulled into a car in the parking lot behind Pea le Science Cen te r , the coed was driven several miles out of town with her hands tied and a poncho wrapped around her head.

After taking the young woman out of the car, the abductor's first move, and a p p a r e n t l y his only intention, was to remove the hood and "deck her," according to Bare-man. The woman successfully fled her assailant.

WORKING in cooperation with the Holland Police Department, Bareman tentatively hypothesized that the man responsible for this

recent abduction is also responsi-ble for the abduction of a Van Zoeren Libra ry employee in February nearly ten months ago.

According to the accounts given by the victims, both of whom had relatively little difficulty eluding the i r assa i lant and escaping to safety, the method of operation in each instance was nearly identical.

' T H E GUY in no way acted as though he was t r y i n g to rape anybody," said Bareman.

Although many students trans-lated the commotion seen and heard near the corner of Thir-teenth and Columbia last Sunday night as another abduction, the hue and cry went up as a result of two separate incidents: a flasher was sighted by a Hope student, who summarily walked on by and called Campus Secur i ty ; and a girl's scream sounding from the Brummler parking lot was appar-ently the victim of a boyfriend who dumped snow down her neck.fc

DUE TO the excessive number

CLB warns fraternities of occupancy requirements In the December 2nd meeting of

the Campus Life Board the subject of f r a t e r n i t y houses came up again.

DAVE TEATER reported that the office of the Dean of Students s u b m i t t e d to the board t h e violation of the 100% occupancy and membership requirement.

This requirement states that a f r a t e r n i t y must completely fill their house with at least 30 of their own members and are responsible to fill the rest of their house or lose the use of t ha t house. At t h e

According to the director, John Tammi , a s s i s t an t p ro fessor of t h e a t r e , it is be ing done as a special bit of holiday cheer from members of the chamber theatre class who are responsible for the production.

"IT WILL last a half-hour, and we hope several members of the campus community will use the occasion for a study break," said Tammi.

IN THE COURSE of deciding what action to take, the discussion t u r n e d to the r i g h t s of the i ndependen t s who live in the fraternity houses by no choice of their own. Should the freshmen living in the frat houses have to put up with all of the hassles and intrusions that present themselves during pledge week?

The mee t ing ended with the fraternities receiving a warning that next time they will be dealt with ser iously if t hey should violate the occupancy and mem-bership requirement.

of r umors growing out of the abduct ion, many p a r e n t s have called to ask whether or not they should br ing the i r d a u g h t e r s home. According to Bareman, the s i tua t ion hasn ' t reached t h a t extreme. "It's good that girls are concerned enough to avoid walk-ing a round, especial ly at night , unescorted, but if precautions are taken, no would-be abductor will be able to find a de fense less victim. We are, however, beefing up our patrol and checking around."

Any students who were in the area of Graves Place be tween 11:00 and midnight on Monday, Dec. 1 and noticed a man walking near a girl with her head covered by a cape or poncho, are requested to notify Public Safety immedi-ately.

Republicans reband

On Monday, November 22, the Hope Republicans, in an effort to once again become a functioning, active group, elected its officers for next year. They are Nan Bian, cha i rman; Lynn Butcher , vice chairman; Jo-Ellen Ming, secre-tary; Jay Rhodes, treasurer and Tom Delaney who is in charge of public relations.

THIS organizat ion will begin having regu la r mee t ings , work events and parties next semester.

Any and all Hope students are cordially invited to join. If any students are interested in becom-ing involved, the off icers a r e anxious to have your name.

Wiggins works with nuclear

research scientists

Jeffrey Wiggins, an undergrad-ua te s t u d e n t f rom Hope is spending the fall semester doing research at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, one of four facilities operated by Union Carbide Cor-poration's Nuclear Division for the E n e r g y Research and Develop-ment Administration (ERDA).

HE HAS BEEN assigned to the Laboratory's Environmental Sci-ences Division, w h e r e he is investigating radionuclide beha-vior in the env i ronmen t . He is majoring in biology and chemistry at Hope.

Wiggins is participating in the Oak Ridge Science* Semester, a six-year-old program sponsored by ERDA and t h e G r e a t Lakes Colleges Association-10 colleges and universities in Indiana, Michi-gan, and Ohio. Oak Ridge National Laboratory coordinates the pro-gram, which places the students with Laboratory research scien-tists to work on individual and group research projects.

ACCORDING TO Bareman, it may have appeared to be a prank or a joke. Bareman directs this inquiry to students working late in Peale, especially.

In an effort to extend precau-tionary protection, "we will escort anybody who calls us - excep t guys," said Bareman. Members of the Alpha Phi Omega service fra-

t e rn i t y have once again volun-t e e r e d the i r se rv ices to any women on campus who would otherwise be walking unescorted after dark. Anyone needing their se rv ices a re asked to call the Alpha Phi Omega at 2115 or 2361 anytime until 1:00 a.m., or Public Safety at 2646.

A seven-year stretch decision

The five faculty members being cons idered for t e n u r e th is year are: Jack Ridl, assistant prof, of English; William Reynolds, assis-t a n t prof, of Engl ish; Melvin H a r j u , a s s i s t an t prof, of econo-mics; William Mungall, associate prof, of chemistry; and G. Larry Penrose, assistant prof, of history.

IN-DEPTH evaluations for ten-ure do not begin until a professor's fifth or sixth year at Hope with a decision coming at the end of their seventh year of teaching.

The Chai rman and Dean a re responsible for assembling recom-mendations, evaluations and sup-porting data for the candidate in their department and submitting t h e s e mate r i a l s to the S t a t u s Committee for their scrutiny and decision.

ACCORDING TO a memo sent

to the candidates, Chairmans and Deans, the principal criteria for tenure decisions are the following: teaching competence as witnessed by student evaluations, colleague eva lua t ions , l e t t e r s of s u p p o r t f rom s t u d e n t s , col leagues , and other persons who are sufficiently knowledgeable to make a profes-sional judgment; a judgment of abi l i ty to remain act ive as a t e a c h e r / s c h o l a r in the y e a r s ahead ; the abi l i ty with th is decision to maintain the viability and flexibility of the Department 's program in the years ahead; the effectiveness in serving students outside of the classroom; demon-strated leadership ability in the Department and on the campus; and cont r ibut ion to the overal l goals and objectives of the College.

Looking back over the last four months left us in hysterics. T h e only blanket phrase we've found to describe what Hope is doing and saying came out of a psycho-logy book: advanced and unarrested schizo-phrenia . (Don't worry, we'll get a Christ-mas message in here somehow.)

We saw many remnants of old beefs and half-truths throughout those four months. Student council is still trying to push a proposal changing the dorm restrictions on alcohol, and they are still failing--not mind you, because Hope students don't drink booze on campus, but because chan-ging that rule will upset many influential and aff luent people who don't a t tend the College, but who give a lot of money to the College.

T o unders tand this "ethical" d i lemma, we must all major in economics. What is involved here is a serious case of the Haves versus the Have Nots. What 's more, the rule is not enforced; it's virtually unen-

Charge to worship causes anguish

I am writing to register a deep and vio-lent protest against the decision to charge admission to this year's Vesper services held December 5. As a Christian and a Hope alumnus, I am outraged and disap-pointed that you have chosen to charge not only members of the community but , saddest of all, students for at tending what is supposed to be a service of worship to God.

In my years of association with Hope, the Christmas Vespers have come to be for me, as I'm sure they have for many others, the foundat ion of my seasonal spirit. In the midst of Santas and red-nosed rein-deer, the Vespers would come like the an-gels themselves, parting all the commercial t r immings and allowing Christ, in all His infant and eternal glory, to usher Him-self into my yuletide heart . And a great part of the majesty of the Vespers was that so many people freely gave their t ime and effort for the glory of God. And nothing else.

Of all the great churches and cathedrals in New York City, I know of none that charge for their Christmas services. And surely Mary and Joseph did not stand with their hands out in financial expectation toward those who had come to see God

forceable, but a jolly good thing to keep on the books to keep up our image.

We were really astonished, although we refuse to say that we were shocked, to discover that a certain work of art (a nude) is aesthetically acceptable as long as it is hung on the walls of our cafeteria only when high school seniors and their parents are not scheduled to be in the vicinity, a s t range criterion upon which to judge a piece of art. Think what Michelangelo did to the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel!

Not at all strong advocators of sorority/ fraternity pledging ourselves, we only think it a pity that the Greeks can' t continue going one-on-one to their hearts ' desire simply because they don' t fit an image. A bet ter argument takes into account inde-pendents who suffer for pledging activities they have chosen not to join. Our tenure process, however, closely resembles five or six years of pledging, brought to a superior and tr iumphant close with the final black-ball session: the Status Commit tee .

Was the Christmas Vespers program a show, or did Chaplain Hillegonds give a call to worship?

Try not to confuse Santa with Jesus Christ, and have more than an image of a Merry Christmas.

Himself. As much as 1 would have loved to see

this year's service, 1 refused to be party to this "Thirty pieces of silver" mentality you have acquired. And I hope that , in the face of the Advent season, you and those involved with this decision will re-flect on your priorities and actions and never again use a service of worship as a means to a fast buck.

Gordon M. Thompson , Jr . Class of '74

A Service or Show ? I have two comments to make about

Christmas Vespers. Number one, 1 don't think it to be right that we have to pay admission to worship God.

Second, I wonder where all the proceeds f rom the services are going. T h e size of the congregation at each of the three ser-vices at usually two dollars apiece adds up to qui te a sum of money. 1 have heard it rumored (I br ing this point up only to try to clear up this rumor . ) that the funds are being used for the aquisition of an amount of equipment for the Music Depar tment . This is deplorable, that money gathered in the worship of God be used for the private gain or benefit of a limited number of people. Could you on the Anchor staff, as a favor to the college community, ascer-tain where the proceeds f rom the Vesper services will be spent?

Would someone decide whether Vespers is a service or a show?

BY K. Gary Hasek

Americans are knows for their unique way of turn ing anything sacred into com-mercial profaneness.

The same business ethic that brought us the hair t rea tment tha t makes you feel "like being bom again", the soft drink that "adds l ife," and it's rival that promotes a generat ion of people "feelin' f ree ," now brings us the "Here's Life America" move-ment proclaiming, with large glaring smiles, "I found itl"

This nation-wide campaign to evange-lize people in about 200 cities in the United States is an effort of the people from Cam-pus Crusade for Christ to fulfill the "Great Commission."

They, with many churches within the Protestant tradit ion, are out to bring the good news of Jesus Christ to every house-hold of these cities. It is a strategic cam-paign divided into three phases.

T h e first phase is a teaser campaign which, via the media , is to arouse curio-sity about what those "I found it!" people have found .

The second phase of the campaign adds to the "I found it!" slogan, "You can find it too," encourages the calling of a toll-free phone number to obtain a booklet entitled, "Here's How You Can Find It!" and involves a three week telephone "blitz"

of the designated households asking the question "Has your household heard of the 'I found it!' slogan?" which leads into the presentat ion of the "Four Spiritual Laws".

T h e thi rd and final phase of the total effort includes follow-up Bible studies for those who have professed to receive Christ.

This p rogram of mass evangelization is to me fairly repulsive. I 'm not in anyway against the proclamat ion of what God has done in Christ reconciling us to him, how-ever, I a m against mass-media presenta-tions of what I believe is a weak, if not false, gospel.

The people declaring "I found it!" in the media tend to emphasize what they were before they received Christ, compared to what their life is like now.

They speak of their past purposeless and unfulfilled lives which they no longer have because Christ has given them reason for living and has solved all of their problems. They fail to acknowledge that other phil-osophical and religious movements give purpose in life as well.

The emphasis is on the changed life, not on the grace of God poured out on a cross because of our disobedience to God's law. 1 have not once heard a testimony attest-ing to the reality of trials and tribulations Christians must be prepared to face.

No one tells m e about the sin I will con-tinually s tumble over, the occurrence of depression and loneliness, and the pits I will so often fall into so that perhaps I may see that my God is with m e even there.

Paul spoke well to the spiritually sub-verted Christians at Corinth saying, "Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks look for wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified: a s tumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those whom God has called, bo th Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God." I

Corinthians 1:22-24. "It is because of him that you are in

Christ Jesus, who has become for us wis-dom f rom God -that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption, I Corin-thians 1:30.

"When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or superior wis-dom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. For I resolved to know noth-ing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and h im crucified. I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling. My message and my preach-ing were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstrat ion of the Spirit's power, so that your fai th might not rest on men 's wisdom, but on God's power," I Corinthians 2:1-5.

Paul continually emphasizes the action of God in man ' s salvation. I doubt very much if the apostle would go about telling people, "I found it!" More pro-bably he would have said something more like, "God found me!"

You can

Since God has found me I have exper-ienced many joys and many more sor-rows. Christianity is not an organization of glee. It is to be Christ's representa-tive in the world, responsible for prepar-ing the way of his next coming by loving healing, endur ing hardships and pro-claiming Christ .

T h e twelve apostles knew better than any that being a Christian wasn't get t ing your problems solved bu t , "Rather , in every way we show ourselves to be servants of God: in great endurance: in troubles, hardships and distresses; in beatings, imprisonments and riots; in hard work, sleepless nights and hunger ; in purity, unders tanding, patience and kindness; in Holy Spirit, and in sincere love; in t ru thfu l speech and in the power of God; with weapons of righteousness in the right hand and the left; through glory and dis-honor, praise and blame; genuine, yet regarded As imposters; known yet regard-ed as unknown; dying and yet we live on; beaten and yet not killed; sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything," I Corinthians 6:4-10.

/ , Elizabeth Otis attempts maximum effect i r e w a g w F.

EDITOR 'S NOTE:

The following anchor review was written by Kate Solms, a senior English major from Grosse lie, Michigan. The play, I. Eli-zabeth Otis, will play for its sec-ond week Friday and Saturday at 8:00 in the DeWitt main theater. Tickets are available in the box office for $1.50.

by Kate Solms

Hope's Theater is being daring th i s season . They a r e n ' t , thank God, even going to a t t e m p t a Broadway musical. They started out in October with an excellent t a s t e of e x p e r i m e n t a l t h e a t e r -"Alice in Wonderland". And for their second play, a little-known drama called "I, Elizabeth Otis" was picked.

THE PLAY revolves around the memories of Elizabeth Otis, who has spent all of her eighty-odd years in Bove City, Iowa. This town is about to ce l eb ra t e its cen tenn ia l with a pa r ade and pageant and all the rest of the typical small- town hoopla. The p a g e a n t for t h e cen tenn ia l is highly idealized, but Elizabeth's r emin i scences a re supposed to show us how it really was.

The ce lebra t ion has b rought E l i zabe th ' s son S teven and his intolerable wife Nancy from New York to take part. Steven is on the far edge of a nervous breakdown and has quit a p res t ig ious advertising job. His wife, on the o t h e r hand, has j u s t been p romoted to a v ice-pres ident ia l position.

THROUGHOUT the play, Eliza beth journeys from the present with her Bon and daughter-in-law's bickering, U tke past where she remembers the same thing going on with her father and mother, and l a t e r wi th herself and her husband.

The principles do a fine job with their parts. Lynn Montgomery is especially effective with her title role; she has to become an ado lescen t or a middle-aged woman without the benefit of a make-up change, and does it very well. Montgomery has plenty of opportunity to overact in this part, but she never does. Her interpre-tation is dignified and restrained.

EQUALLY GOOD is Kevin Kelley as Steven Otis. Kelley is a newcomer to the Hope t h e a t e r department, and he is a welcome addition. He has a command over

his character, who is cynical and disturbed; too down-to-earth and hones t for the City, and too sophisticated for Iowa.

Kelley never lets his character become a stereotype, and brings across Steven's dry humor with an expert, light touch. His one loose wrist is sometimes annoying in an otherwise controlled physical ap-pearance.

MICHAEL SMIT is delightful as Holloway, the newspaper report-er. Smit has a wonderful sense of timing, and a talent for making the ludicrous real. His scenes where he tries to rehearse with Steven are easily the best in the show.

Less effective, but still worth ment ioning, is Ka th ie Smith as Nancy Otis. Smith has a difficult part --totally unsympathetic-- and she handles herself with a good measure of ease in it. But she is straining at times; she does not seem to have control over the idea of being bitchy as opposed to being the villian, and so her performance is over-ac ted . But she has her moments; she is very good in her newspaper interview scene.

SHELLEY Martin and Robert Robins play Elizabeth's parents. Robins starts out strong in the first act, but loses something by the s e c o n d - he shouts far too much, and the quality of his voice in these moments is difficult to listen to. Martin does not come across as Elizabeth's mother. She is so tight-lipped and correct that she is unbelievable.

Minor characters that deserve ment ion are: Tom Pie rson as Frank, doing much with his early, boisterous scenes; Susan Moored as Mrs. Cooms, a b ras sy and outspoken woman; and Carr ie Green as Bet Otis. She has r e m a r k a b l e s t age p re sence for someone her age, and a good, carrying voice.

RICHARD SMITH'S se t is excellent. It is the skeleton of a Victorian house, with many fussy l ines and angles; a house of memory more than r e a l i t y -sections of the set lean slightly one way or the other, giving it an interesting, distorted appearance. The colors are faded and vague. It is a set that is elaborate without being overwhelming.

Mary Schakel added to this mood of memory with quiet ,

wel l - researched cos tumes . The lighting by Michael Grindstaff is

ret ty cliche, with many, many :ade-outs and spotlights at appro-priate moments. Considering the nature of the play, however, this probably could not be helped.

THERE IS little fault with the acting and technical aspects of 4T, Elizabeth Otis." But the produc-tion falls down badly because of the direction and the script itself.

James Malcolm is not a careful director. He seems to be pushing for maximum effect at all times, without considering the consisten-cy of the direction. His staging is odd. Walls disappear during the memory sequences of the play, and one can accept ac to r s walking through walls at these times.

BUT DURING the present-day sequences, one expects the walls to go up again, and the actors to move in more defined space; this doesn ' t happen . El izabeth is constantly limping over to a corner of the parlor to deliver her most d ramat ic lines, with her nose about two inches from where the wall ought to be.

Gran ted , she is facing the audience at these times-- but she is also s t and ing in the corner . Malcolm has o the r cha rac t e r s wandering over to a window or the French doors when they are about to deliver significant lines. This becomes so predictable that the moment a character stands up, you are guaranteed of a particularly dramatic line two or three minutes later.

MALCOLM does not seem to pay attention to small details, and this is also a flaw in the directing. It is hard to keep from laughing when George Otis steps over the threshold of the doorway and then remarks that the screens aren't keeping the mosqui toes out . Naturally, since he's just walked right through them.

Malcolm also has directed the play so that there are two doors t ha t apparen t ly go out to the kitchen - Mrs. Cooms always goes out one door to the kitchen and Nancy ano the r . In one scene, George (who seems to have born t h e wors t of th i s care less directing) unties his shoelaces, and then gets up and walks around.

HE HAS told Elizabeth he is going to bed; I have seen men loosen their ties on making this announcement , but never the i r shoes. These kinds of mis takes trail through the entire produc-tion. To anyone t ha t pays any

attention to detail, it is an endless annoyance.

I t is not as annoying as the script, however. The aas for "I, Elizabeth Otis" bill it as "a seering drama." Well, it doesn't seer. It doesn't even singe. Many of the scenes play out without raising a single d i s tu rb ing ques t ion in a careful listener's mind.

THE PLAYWRIGHT, Philip W. Barber, seems to think that drama should, a t the end, be as comforting as old jeans. So he goes to great pains to make all the characters so one-sided you know immediately w h e t h e r to like or dislike them. He piles predictabili-ty on predictability; using plays on familiar phrases , (at one point, Elizabeth says to her father "My father, who is not in heaven," at which point I almost walked out) and arranges them for minimum effect.

And in any scene that might raise a question. Barber is right

there with the answer. These take the form of little quotable lines that appear at the most dramatic moments; they give the audience someth ing to t a k e home with them, like a party favor. Chekov would never have told you what to think, and certainly would never have given you the answer to any question that might come up in the course of one of his plays. But Barber is of a different school.

NO ONE need ever spend a s leepless night a f t e r see ing "I, Elizabeth Otis." The emotions are neatly packaged; the characters are as f la t and un t roub l ing as ^ postcards.

It is too bad that such a poor . vehicle was picked for such talent as Lynn Montgomery and Kevin Kelley. And it is too bad that Hope and t h e Holland communi ty probably wouldn ' t have wanted anything more challenging, more difficult to understand. Sleep well, patrons.

SOCCER COACH Glenn Van Wieren: Recognition for your hard work and enthusiasm for soccer, and some one-goal, double-overtime wins.

Golf coach Hal Cutshall: A team that sets the records on all the match days, and leaves it- bad days- on the practice range. (Plus some t o o t h p a s t e to "pu t your money where your mouth is.")

.even record performance from the field (51%) made the d i f f e r ence for the Dutchmen in their 78-65 victory over Concordia (Illinois) Saturday, Dec. 6.

CHRIS P e t e r s o n again lead Hope 's scor ing pa rade with 20 points, followed by Holwerda with 10 and VanderSchaaf with nine.
