StudentCenter Still Delayed By Glenn Loom an

anchor News Editor

In an interview in the October 2 1, 1/^66 issue of the anchor Pres-ident Calvin A. VanderWerf sa id that it might be possible for g r o u n d to be b r o k e n f o r t h e S C S C before June, 1967. It is now De-cember, 1967 and g r o u n d h a s yet to be over tu rned .

ACCORDING TO President VanderWerf certain c i rcumstances h a v e changed a n d const ruct ion will h a v e to be de layed.

He sees the first s t umbl ing block as be ing the r i s ing cost of the project . When the idea of a stu-dent cul tural center first m a d e its a p p e a r a n c e on Hope ' s c a m p u s in September, 1964, the project was projected to cost $1 .5 mil-lion. In October of 1966 the total cost of the project w a s raised to $2 mill ion.

Dr. VanderWerf now sees the const ruct ion as cos t ing a p p r o x i -mate ly S2.25 mill ion. This, he sa id , was due to r is ing cost of c o n s t r u c t i o n

A SECOND MAJOR ques t ion is whether or not the Capi ta l F u n d s Drive of the RCA, which w a s begun last year , will reach

its projected goal of $6 mil l ion. Of this $ 6 million Hope w a s to receive $2 mill ion for thecons t ruc-tion of the student center and the addi t ion to the mus ic bui lding. At the present t ime the total n u m b e r of pledges in the c a m p a i g n a re slightly u n d e r $5 million.

Central Reformed Church of G r a n d R a p i d s e a r m a r k e d $ 7 5 , 0 0 0 of its cont r ibut ion to the fund d r ive for the cons t ruc t ion of Dyks t ra Hall. Th is must be sub-tracted f r o m the total a v a i l a b l e for the s tudent cen te r , accord ing to Dr. VanderWerf .

The f inal ques t ion concern ing the const ruct ion of the s tudent center is the fu tu re locat ion of the art depa r tmen t and its effect on the $ 4 0 0 , 0 0 0 g r a n t f r o m the federal g o v e r n m e n t . Dr. VanderWerf sees the possibi l i ty that the#size of the g r an t m a y be reduced. The r e a s o n for this he sa id , w a s t h a t t h e g r a n t was based on the por t ion of the p r o p o s e d center to be used for ins t ruc t ional p u r p o s e s and it is not certain now that the SCSC will h o u s e the ar t depar tment .

I N A D D I T I O N , a cco rd ing to the s t ipu la t ions of the federal g ran t , the m o n e y must be used by J a n u a r y 1, 1969. If const ruct ion

is not begun by then acco rd ing to Dr. VanderWerf , the College will lose the loan .

Despite these hold-ups, Cra ig Hol leman , President of the Student Senate and a member of the stu-dent p l a n n i n g commit tee for the SCSC, said that cons t ruc t ion could begin immedia te ly if f u n d s were m a d e avai lab le .

Bob T h o m p s o n , ano the r mem-ber of the committee, stated that the revised blue p r in t s h a v e been received f rom the architect. Ac-co rd ing to T h o m p s o n , the new blue print is d r a w n with the ex-clusion of the art depa r tmen t . Be-c a u s e of this the bowl ing al leys a n d the l a r g e m u l t i - p u r p o s e r o o m h a s been included a g a i n a n d the s tudent recreat ion a r ea and the snack ba r h a v e been en la rged .

W I T H T H E E X C L U S I O N o f

the art depa r tmen t the ques t ion of the federal g r an t takes o n a new perspective. T h o m p s o n said that the federal g r a n t could still be retained if the mul t i -pu rpose r o o m s in the p r o p o s e d SCSC were used 50 percent of the t ime for educa t iona l pu rposes . Mak ing this possible is the m a j o r concern of the commit tee at this time.

The letter that h a s been sent to H o p e w o m e n be ing considered for r o o m m a t e s of w o m e n of other cul tures will not be sent out in the future, a c c o r d i n g to President Cal-vin A. VanderWerf .

In a n n o u n c i n g this. President VanderWerf sa id that " t h e letter was cer ta in ly sent out of construc-tive motives , but had undes i r ab l e ove r tones . "

A C C O R D I N G T O Dean of Women Isla Van E e n e n a a m , whose office sent the letter, they were sent to " s p a r e the feelings of a n y w o m e n of ano the r cul-rure who mignt o therwise be placed with a student who does not want to r o o m with a pe r son of a different b a c k g r o u n d . "

F o r the past three weeks, the Student Senate has been debat-ing this letter and other pract ices described by the g r o u p as "dis -c r i m i n a t o r y . "

ON NOV. 18, Sena to r Dick Kooi p r o p o s e d a mot ion a sk ing that " a b i n d i n g pol icy statement be issued by the p r o p e r officials and by the p r o p e r s tudent-facul ty a n d / o r facul ty commit tee p ro -hibit ing d i sc r imina t ion of a n y sort on the b a s i s of race o r color; that the President issue o r d e r s to the effect that references to race or color a r e to be stricken as cri-teria for admi t t ance to hous ing units a n d for selection of room-mates . " This was passed .

The next week the mot ion was b rough t up for recons idera t ion on the g r o u n d s that the mot ion would d o no good for the cam-pus. At that meeting it was re-ferred to the Senate na t i ona l and social b e h a v i o r commit tee for s tudy.

A T 'I H E L A S T Senate meeting A1 Pederson , c h a i r m a n of this committee, presented a mot ion s imilar to K o o i ' s that was passed by the Senate. This mot ion in-cluded c o m m e n d a t i o n for the d r o p p i n g of ques t ions abou t race f rom the app l i ca t ion for ad-miss ion a n d the d i scon t inu ing of the pract ice of send ing the letter to those w o m e n who might r o o m with women of other cultures.

" T h e Senate 's q u a r r e l with the letter," sa id Dean V a n E e n e n a a m , " is that it is d i sc r imina to ry . This was the far thest th ing f r o m m y m i n d . "

Mrs. Van E e n a n a a m stated that r o o m m a t e s for f r e s h m a n women a re chosen on the bas i s of a letter to the Dean by each f r e s h m a n

Slater Questions Criticism

Saga Food Service to Bring New Programs to Hope By George A r w a d y

a n c h o r Associate Editor

S a g a F o o d Service, which will offer the College a var iety of new services, will replace Slater F o o d Service over the Chr i s tmas vaca-tion. As the new c o m p a n y takes over , Slater leaves ques t ion ing whether all the criticism a imed at it was justified.

P E R H A P S T H E GKfcJATEST c h a n g e which S a g a will b r i ng will be the o p p o r t u n i t y for non -boa rd -ing students to p u r c h a s e s ingle meals in the college dining halls. "S tuden t s eat ing off c a m p u s will just p a y the go ing ra te per m e a l , " sa id Robert De Young , Dean of Students.

Other new p r o g r a m s of S a g a would involve the extension of the h o u r s of the Kletz. The cof-fee shop would c o m e under com-plete jur isdict ion of the new c o m p a n y . Dean De Young said that other entirely new food ser-vices will be offered, but sa id that these can not be a n n o u n c e d at the present t i m e

E L D O N A N K R U M , m a n a g e r of the college Slater opera t ion , ques t ioned much of the criticism which h a s been leveled at his c o m p a n y ' s service. He said tha t the qua l i ty and var ie ty of f ood offered b y Slater was higher this yea r t h a n ever before.

" I d o not feel the food is the r e a s o n for the c h a n g e , " he said

"If n was the tood . we wouldn ' t h a v e the n u m b e r of s tudents eat ing here that we h a v e . "

As f a r as p r o m o t i n g a sense of college c o m m u n i t y , Mr. A n k r u m said that his c o m p a n y had tried to do every th ing it could to se rve the College, "We bend over back-w a r d s as far as the c a m p u s is conce rned , " he said.

IN A S T A T E M E N T a p p e a r i n g in last week's anchor , the Ad-minis t ra t ion p ra i sed the "con-structive, respons ib le and states-m a n l i k e act ion of the Student Sen-ate'" in eva lua t i ng the Slater Ser-vice and offer ing sugges t ions . President Calvin A. VanderWerf especially noted the work of the Senate d in ing hall committee of last sp r ing .

Mr. A n k r u m claimed that he had had no coope ra t i on with the Senate commit tee this yea r a n d had been unab le to a r r a n g e a meeting with the commit tee to dis-cuss w a y s to i m p r o v e the food service. " I was the one who had to t ake a su rvey to find what the s tudents w a n t e d , " he said.

C L A R E N C E H A N D L O G T E N ,

Business M a n a g e r and P e a n De Young agreed that the s ta tement last week h a d not considered the Senate 's lack of action this se-mester. " T o m y knowledge, the commit tee h a s no t met f o r m a l l y this y e a r , " sa id the Dean.

" T h e y were qui te e lusive," add-ed Mr. Hand log t en . "We weren' t

real ly s q u a r e with Slater on th i s . " Student Senate President C r a i g

Hol leman said that the commit tee h a d done noth ing with the food service this year .

"I DON'T T H I N K the food was really that b a d , " said Dean De Young. " I t got to be p o p u l a r to criticize it and a l t h o u g h we d o n ' t do th ings just because stu-dents compla in , we couldn ' t ig-n o r e the fac t . "

Mr. Hand log ten put down much of the p rob lem with Slater just with a lack of " s p a r k l e " in m a n y aspects of the ope ra t ion .

President VanderWerf sa id that "i t was a d i s a p p o i n t m e n t to us that so few jun io r s a n d sen io r s eat on . " He said that there were " u n i v e r s a l l y enthusiast ic r epor t s on S a g a " at the other colleges contacted. M a n y G L C A and MIAA schools use Saga . Both S a g a and Slater a re na t ionwide o rgan iza t ions .

The President sa id that he h o p e d m o r e s tudents would eat on cam-p u s with the new food service. He observed tha t " the re comes a t ime when you must s a y wha t is in the best interest of the College and s tudents . "

S A G A I S E X P E C T E D to cost the College m o r e t h a n Slater did , acco rd ing to Mr. H a n d l o g t e n , but the President sa id that " w e ' r e hop-ing it will be a f inanc ia l s t and-of f . "

Exact f igures on the cost per m e a l of the two services were im-

poss ible to obtain . N o ra ise in the $ 5 0 0 per year b o a r d fee is anticip a ted.

Most s tudents on c a m p u s seem-ed to react f a v o r a b l y to theswitch, a l t hough m a n y ques t ioned wheth-er the new service would real ly be do ing a much better j ob than Slater in the long run .

T H E S E A R E the last two weeks for the food service which has , served the c a m p u s for over ten years . Mr. A n k r u m sa id that he had ins t ruct ions f r o m his super -iors to " g o out in s tyle" and sa id that the c u s t o m a r y C h r i s t m a s din-ner would be served a g a i n this year with a tu rkey to be ca rved at every table.

Women Suppressed

Mr. Clean Ignores Men's Dorms By Pat Canfidd

The doub le - s t anda rd p rob lem on Hope 's c a m p u s has been hashed , rehashed and occasion-ally even talked out df existence However, there is one area, a lmost a lways ignored, in which a real doub le - s t anda rd p rob lem exists --the matter of housekeeping.

Hope women find they mus t for -feit va luab le time f rom their s tudy and social activities to m a k e their r o o m s spic and s p a n for the weekly surpr i se r o o m inspection. Men, on the other hand, only h a v e two or three year ly r o o m inspections which a r e announced one month a h e a d via bulletin b o a r d s . One d a y before, male R.A.s pe r sona l ly visit each stu-dent 's r oom, gently reminding them a g a i n of the impending in-spection and even a id ing in the limited clean-up activities.

WOMEN RECEIVE an impres-sive and f o r m i d a b l e inspection slip with the a p p r o p r i a t e g r a d e and comment checked: A--room neat and order ly ; H-could De bet-ter; C--your room hurts but the beds are m a d e and F - y o u r room is neat and order ly but the beds aren ' t m a d e ( For pluses add .3:

for minuses subtract .3) . Each F in r o o m inspection accumula tes a demerit for the girls.

The infrequent room inspections given to Hope men a r e not g rad-ed because, as one second-floor Kollen H.A. sa id , " W e want our boys to be mot ivated b y success, not f a i l u r e " Hand-writ ten com-ments m a y be left in the r o o m s but these must conta in only en-c o u r a g i n g r e m a r k s such as, " Y o u r room was a treat to in-spect. T h a n k you for con-siderately shov ing your over-flowing a s h t r a y s , empty and half-empty bottles into thecloset before 1 inspected. L o v e your R.A."

BEFORE HOMECOMING or Parents Weekend Open Houses, girls a r e subjected to special pass-

fail r o o m inspections. Housemo-thers, wea r ing white gloves, scru-tinize each r o o m careful ly, check-ing for the least smidgen of dust. (Dur ing the inspection tour, co-eds remain at attention, answer-ing yes m a ' a m or no m a ' a m wnen spoken to by the house-mother . ) Any girl fa i l ing one of these inspections receives five de-merits, wears a "1 was a P i g a t t h e House of Voorhees" (or the

appropriate dorm) and must sub mit to other unspeakable tortures.

For open-houses in mens ' d o r m s , it is the visi tors who suffer. Anv visi tor caugh t s a y i n g nas tv th ings a b o u t r o o m condi t ions is app rehended a n d swiftly removed f r o m the premises. Some com-ments o v e r h e a r d at a recent Kol-len Hall open-house: (visi tor po in t ing to l aye r of dust o n f l o o r ) "Gee, I didn ' t know you h a d wall-to-wall ca rpe t ing . " " L o o k , it only takes three tries to shut your closet d o o r . " " S o n , I think you ought to b o r r o w a shovel f r o m the kids across the hall and clean your r o o m . "

A L T H O U G H T H E housekeep-ing requirements for ma le and fe-male Hope students a re lopsided, there is a va l id ra t iona le behind the doub le - s t andard . As reported by the Dean of Men, "Actua l ly , since men on c a m p u s have no hours , they a r e not in their r o o m s enough to mess them u p . "

Pederson reported that his com-mittee could not find a n y evidence of d iscr iminat ion on Hope ' s cam-pus, past or present, other than this letter.

Senate Proposes Amendment Blue Ribbon Committee To Study Religious Life

A p r o p o s e d amendment to the Senate consti tution, a resolut ion concerning discr iminat ion on Hope ' s c a m p u s and a new pro-cedure unde r which resolut ions must be presented to the Senate one week in advance ol their dis-cussion were passed at the Stu-dent Senate meeting M o n d a y night.

Za ide Pixley presented a pro-posed amendmen t to the constitu-tion stat ing, " A n y student a l r eady prosecuted b y state or municipal authori t ies cannot also be pen-alized by the Student Court for the s a m e offense unless said offense occurs on college p rope r ty or at a specific college function. The Court mair f tafns the right to in-terview the student. If state o r municipal authori t ies decide not to act and release the student to the school fo r discipline, the Court m a y a s s u m e or iginal jurisdic-t ion ."

THIS A M E N D M E N T is an at-tempt to r emove the possibil i ty of a student being placed in double j e o p a r d y . The Senate passed the p roposa l with the necessary two-thirds vote. The p r o p o s a l will be b rough t before the entire student body. In order to become a pa r t of the constitution, two-thirds of the students vot ing must a p p r o v e it.

Al Pederson, representing the na t ional a n d social awareness committee, presented a p roposa l whic^ will put into writing the posit ion of the Senate concerning racial d iscr iminat ion at H o p e

The p r o p o s a l states " T h e Stu-dent Senate requests that a bind-ing policy statement be issued by the p rope r officials and by the p rope r student-faculty a n d / o r faculty committee prohib i t ing dis-cr iminat ion of anv sort on the bas is of race, creed, color or na-tional origin.

O n S o n n d a n d F u r y

A N U M B E R OF S T O R I E S a p p e a r i n g in this issue point to a t rend that has or shou ld become d i s tu rb ing

to the s tudents of H o p e College. As the year p rogresses , it is becoming increas ingly evident that the Student Senate is not d o i n g its j o b a s the voice for the student b o d y on

this c a m p u s . For three weeks, the Senate h a s been

d e b a t i n g whether or not to ask to r a policy s tatement p roh ib i t ing d i sc r imina t ion on the bas i s of race, color , creed or na t iona l o r ig in in all phases of c a m p u s life. T h e impetus lor this discussion was a letter sent by the office of the D e a n of Women to students who migh t r o o m with w o m e n of

o ther cul tures.

Th i s deba te can on ly be seen as an i l lustrat ion of the Senate fa l l ing d o w n on die j ob . It is completely out oi touch with

the realities of this c a m p u s and for a num-ber of r e a s o n s should never h a v e been

b r o u g h t up in the w a y it was. First, the pa r t i c ipan t s in the d iscuss ion

exhibited a total i gno rance oi the facts

ol the s i tua t ion. T h e o r ig ina l mot ion , pro-

posed by S e n a t o r Dick Kooi , indicates that he was not a w a r e that a s s u r a n c e s had a l r e a d y been given tha t the letter would not a g a i n be sent, since it asked that the letter be d iscont inued. K o o i himsell a d m i t s to never h a v i n g taken the t ime to read a copy of the letter and thus become in fo rmed

first h a n d a b o u t the subject.

Second, the entire a f fa i r is a total waste of time. Al Pederson and K o o i a c k n o w l e d g e that there is not now n o r ever h a s been a

pract ice that could becal led d i s c r im ina to ry except this letter. To ask lor something written to avo id fu tu re difficulties is an ex-press ion of d o u b t a b o u t the C o l l e g e s per-

sistence in the C hris t ian principles on which it is founded . With fai th in o u r s t a n d i n g

by these pr inciples , we can on ly see the mot ion a s to ta l ly unnecessa ry .

TH I R D , I T S H O W E D a w a n t o n dis-r e g a r d lor the feelings ol the Dean of Women. T h e letter in ques t ion

was obv ious ly sent out ol absolu te ly

benevolent mot ives , il s o m e w h a t misguid-

ed ones. Br ing ing the s i tua t ion out in the open weeks after it had been settled was no th ing but e m b a r r a s s i n g a n d constituted a lack of d i p l o m a c y that would not be

tolerated in any other a r e a of c a m p u s

g o v e r n m ait . T h e superf lui ty of die mot ion is es-

pecially t ragic when it is realized that the t ime taken for deba te could h a v e been well used lor other things.

Both Director ol Bus iness Affairs Clar-ence H a n d l o g t e n and Food Service Direc-tor E ldon A n k r u m h a v e indicated that the Senate has not been especially effective in c o m m u n i c a t i n g the wishes ol the student b o d y to the Slater o r g a n i z a t i o n . It was difficult to get the p r o p e r commit tee to

meet, let a l one to h a v e it accompl i sh some-

th ing construct ive. This is a b reach of a trust . Sena to r s

were elected to i m p r o v e the s tudent life at H o p e College. D e b a t i n g a closed issue in-stead of seeking to i m p r o v e services to s tudents does not seem to be the most ef-fective step to reach that goa l . Motions to i m p r o v e this in the fu tu re d o not blot out

pas t negligence. The Kletz, for the pas t two yea r s open

at the request of the Student Senate Presi-

dent , has remained closed this year . The Admin i s t ra t ion has p romised that consul-tat ion on the subject will t a k e place, but

present President C r a i g Ho l l eman has yet to indicate t ha t these t a lk s a re even p l anned .

OT H E R E X A M P L E S o f o v e r s i g h t s c a n be found . The H o p e - H o l l a n d - H a m -

let dr ive a w o k e f rom an unusua l ly pro-longed sleep on ly recendy. N o report on the status of the p r o p o s a l to ga in a b r e a k

before or alter l inal e x a m s h a s been given.

This s i tua t ion c a n n o t be allowed to continue. T h e s t u d e n t s ol this college elected

the Sena to r s lor a p u r p o s e and spend

m o n e y to h a v e t h e m accompl i sh someth ing . A successful H o m e c o m i n g o r Mom a n d

D a d ' s D a y is not sufficient.

Strides in the pas t show that there is impor t an t work that mus t be d o n e by the Senate. Hopefu l ly , the ques t ion ol why the Senate is not d o i n g tha t work will not h a v e to be answered o r asked in the near future.

Readers Speak Out

Dear Editor . . . In order to avoid a n y misunders tand-

ing, I should like to point out that the assessment of v a r i o u s academic depart-ments reported on the f ront p a g e of the anchor of last week was discussed on a quant i ta t ive, and not on a qual i ta t ive, basis .

Much of the most inspired and in-spir ing teaching on the c a m p u s has been and is being conducted in the depar tments mentioned. Students recognized this of-ficially by vo t ing Professor Vande rbush the recipient of the first a n n u a l H.O.P. E. a w a r d for dis t inguished teaching and by nomina t i ng Dr. Dykstra and Dr. Kenneth Weller for this high hono r every year since its inception.

C E R T A I N L Y T H E S E men a re a m o n g the very finest teachers on our campus . To s tudy under them, and other members of the depar tments mentioned, is a rich in-tellectual and personal experience. Gradu-ate m a j o r s f r o m their depa r tmen t s have dist inguished themselves as leaders in their profess ions and have m a d e highly suc-cessful records in leading g r a d u a t e s e h o o l s in our nat ion. In addi t ion, these teachers h a v e mades ign i f i can t cont r ibut ions to cam-pus life and the welfare of s tudents fa r t r anscending depar tmenta l lines.

The discussion a rose out of the c h a r g e that certain depar tments a re unders ta f fed relative to others; the- point is that the ad-minis t ra t ion clearly recognizes this quan t i -tat ive imba lance and is work ing earnest ly with the depar tments involved in a n effort to correct it.

LAST YEAR, the depar tments of bus-iness admin i s t r a t ion and economics, phi-losophy, political science, a n d soc io logy were all engaged in joint efforts with the admin is t ra t ion to add addi t ional staff mem-bers. For at least one opening in each of the four depar tments , we were unable , des-pite our best efforts, to hire a pe rmanen t , full-time teacher who met our qual i f ica t ions .

As a result, each of the depa r tmen t s is unders taffed with respect to p e r m a n e n t staff members . In order to fill the b reach , fine t e m p o r a r y or par t - t imeteachers were hired, or the teaching was distr ibuted over the exis t ing staff. Still, the work l o a d (includ-

ing teaching, academic adv is ing , committee ass ignments , and other services to the college) of a ma jo r i t y of the members of these depar tments is excessive.

The point which I wished to m a k e was that the admin i s t r a t ion clearly recog-nizes this fact and should and will give top priori ty to these and a n y s imilar ly understaffed depar tments in the hir ing of pe rmanent faculty members for the future.

.Just a bit of " f i l l ing" for some g a p s in your s tory involving sociology last week.

Excellence should ever be striven for -and will never be fully at tained. We are s tr iving in sociology. Results? Last year Hope had the only soc io logy student in the state of Michigan as a Michigan Scho-lar . Calvin, Albion, K a l a m a z o o , Alma, which a re the on ly other schools involved in this p r o g r a m with the Universi ty of Michigan, had none. This year we h a v e another sociology Michigan Scholar . This is excellence of a kind.

N E X T FALL WE will send three ma-jors to g r a d u a t e school in socio logy - the largest number in Hope ' s history, I be-lieve. F ive more of the seniors will go to g r a d u a t e school in social work. This is another " f i r s t . " Two m o r e a r e semina ry bound. Ten to g r a d u a t e school out of 18 seniors isn't a bad percentage. Perhaps this too is excellence - m a y b e the best per-centage in the col lege

Part of the p r e p a r a t i o n of Jim Skiv-ington for g r a d u a t e school is his teaching the in t roductory ' a b course with Pat Beh-rens, another g r a d u a t e school b o u n d so-ciologist under the gu idance of a facul ty staff member . Jim wasn ' t recruited because of a shor tage . This course was p lanned du r ing the s u m m e r with the help of an Adminis t rat ive s u m m e r g ran t . It was laid out in staff meetings some of which involv-ed the two student assis tants . Here we are s tr iving for excellence in t ra in ing seniors much like l ab ass is tants a re used in bio-logy, chemistry, p h i l o s o p h y discussion g roups , etc.

Life on Earth?

There was great excitement on the planet of Venus this week. F o r the first t ime Venus ian scientists m a n a g e d to l a n d a satellite on the planet Earth, and it h a s been send ing back s ignals as well as photo-g r a p h s ever since.

The satellite was directed into an known as M a n h a t t a n ( n a m e d after the great Venus ian a s t ronomer Prof Manha t -tan, who first discovered it with his tele-scope 2 0 0 , 0 0 0 light years ago) .

B E C A U S E OF excellent weather con-dit ions a n d extremely s t rong s ignals , Ven-usian scientists were able to get v a l u a b l e in fo rma t ion as to the feasibili ty of a m a n -ned f ly ing saucer l and ing on Earth. A press conference was held at the Venus Institute of Technology.

"We h a v e come to the conclus ion, bas-ed on last week's satellite l a n d i n g , " Prof. Z o g sa id , " tha t there is no life on E a r t h . "

" H o w do you know this?" the science reporter of the Venus Evening Star asked.

"FOR O N E T H I N G " E a r t h ' s su r face in the a r ea of M a n h a t t a n is composed of solid concrete and noth ing can g row there. F o r another , the a tmosphe re is filled with c a r b o n m o n o x i d e and other dead ly gases and n o b o d y could possibly b rea the this air and surv ive . "

" W h a t docs this mean as f a r as o u r f lying saucer p r o g r a m is concerned?"

"We shall have to take our own oxy-gen with us, which means a much heavier f ly ing saucer than we or ig ina l ly p l a n n e d . "

"ARE T H E R E a n y other h a z a r d s that you discovered in your s tudies?"

" T a k e a look at this photo . You see this d a r k black cloud hove r ing over the

sur face of Ea r th? We call this the Con-sol idated Edison Belt. We don ' t know what it is m a d e of, but it could give us a lot of t rouble and we shal l h a v e to m a k e fur ther tests before we send a Venus Being there.

"Over here you will notice what seems to be a r iver , but the satellite f ind ings indicate it is pol luted and the water is unfit to d r ink . This m e a n s we shall h a v e to c a r r y our own water which will add even greater weight to the s auce r . "

"SIR, WHAT A R E all those t i n ^ b l a c k spots on the p h o t o g r a p h s ? "

"We ' re not certain. They seem to be metal part icles that move a l o n g certain paths . They emit gases , m a k e noise and keep c r a s h i n g into each other. There a r e so m a n y of these p a t h s and so m a n y metal particles that it is imposs ib le to land a f lying saucer without being s m a s h e d by one . "

" W h a t a r e those s t a l agmi te project ions st icking u p ? "

" T h e y ' r e some type of g ran i t e fo rma-tions that give off light at night. Prof. Glom has n a m e d them skysc rape r s since they seem to be s c r a p i n g the skies ."

"IF A L L YOU s a y is true, won' t this set back the f lying saucer p r o g r a m sev-eral y e a r s ? "

"Yes, but we sha l l proceed as soon as the Grubs ta r t g ives us the added f u n d s . "

"Prof . Z o g , why a re we spend ing bil-l ions and bill ions of zilches to land a l ly ing saucer on Ear th when there is no life there?"

" B e c a u s e if we Venus ians can learn to b r e a t h e in a n Ea r th a tmosphere , then we can live a n y w h e r e . "

Enthusiastic About Fu tu re

Hope's Radio Station WTAS Experiences Difficulties By Laura Mumford

anchor Reporter The effectiveness of WTAS as

a communica t ions medium is un-der investiKation by the C o m m u n -ications Board , accord ing to Dr. David Marker , member of the boa rd .

This action was taken when the va lue of WTAS in relation to its budget was quest ioned. T h e s t u d y will continue for three or four m o r e weeks, a a d the cymmittee will ultimately m a k e a decision OIL t_he_basis of polls and talk*-with WTAS personnel , explained Dr. Marker.

HE ADDED that a l though the results of the last poll have not been quant i ta t ively tabula ted , it ' appea red that WTAS is listened to by a p p r o x i m a t e l y half of the student bod v.

Because^ ot the invesugcuiun, WTAS was asked to withhold its m a j o r expenses and to retrain f rom soliciting advert is ing. Ac-cording to Mr. Clarence J l a n d -logten's office, the s ta t ion ' s bud-get has not been approved .

Despite the min imum funds , however, .lack Ligtenberg, s ta t ion m a n a g e r , felt that it will not affect the present p r o g r a m m i n g of WTAS. He said that there are enough funds to main ta in a full p r o g r a m each night. The s ta t ion is able to p u r c h a s e the top twenty p o p u l a r songs and can add them

to their l i b ra ry of over 5 ,000 selections.

LIGTENBERG ADDED thai WTAS can also cont inue its b road-cast ing of Associated Press news at 8 and 10 every night. How< ever, he did state that because of the restricted funds , WfTAS can-not b r o a d c a s t news specials which it had hoped to do.

Although WTAS is able to re-tain its p r o g r a m s , the station is hand icapped because it cannot solicit adver t i s ing , which is the stat ions only means of income. The only adver t isements b road-casted a re public service an-nouncements, said Elliot Meyers, adver t i s ing m a n a g e r .

Meyers expla ined that if thebud-get is a p p r o v e d , there will be p rob lems acqui r ing advertise-ment contracts for this semester, as most businesses have a l r eady spent their budgets. He stated however, that the businesses us-ually ob ta in new budgets in .Jan-ua ry , and adver t i s ing might be solicited for the second semester.

MEYERS HAS " h i g h hopes" for his adver t i s ing c a m p a i g n , par-ticularly because his staff of ten people is la rger than before. He also indicated that his depar tment is much m o r e organ ized . Busi-nesses, he added, a r e f a v o r a b l e toward WTAS and have a small market f rom which to choose.

ficulty in soliciting advertise-ments.

Al though, as faculty a d v i s o r F r a n k She rbourne said, WTAS is "s lowed u p " in s o m e o f L j L improvements and restricted in its expans ion , the limited funds have not d(Vacted f rom the qua l i ty of the stat ion. Some improve-mems, Al A a r d s m a , technical m a n a g e r explained, a re not neces-sari ly limited because of the bud-get.

According to Dr. Honald Beer> of the physics depa r tmen t , the form id p r o p o s a l of a H o p e Col-lege FM station is being formu-lated by a sub-commit tee of tht Adminis t ra t ive committee. TFk idea of an FM stat ion h a s been previous ly contempla ted , but it h a s never been p roposed .

T H E PURPOSE OF the FM station would be to p r o v i d e high qual i ty p r o g r a m m i n g , expla ined Dr. Beery. This p r o g r a m m i n g would p r i m a r i l y consist of edu-cational KM and classical music. The Adminis t ra t ive Commit tee would r ecommend that the station be opera ted by a p p r o p r i a t e acad-emic g roups in the college, such as the speech and d r a m a depart-ments. The s ta t ion would "no t be student-run, a l t hough it would be student - w o r k i n g , " added Dr. Beery.

The FM sta t ion would not be aimed at the college communi ty , but would be b r o a d c a s t t h rough out western Michigan and possi-bly pa r t s of Wisconsin. Hope could then par t ic ipa te in the state educat ional network. It is pro-posed that the stat ion b r o a d c a s t th rough a fifty mile r ad ius , f rom three to five h o u r s a day .

S U C H A STATION would not require a l a rges t a f f , explained Dr. Beery. A chief engineer with a first class license and other engi-neers with third class licenses would be needed. Facu l ty mem-bers and some students a l r eady meet these qual i f ica t ions .

The p roposed KM sta t ion would require a license f r o m the KCC. This could not be appl ied for un til the p r o p o s a l is a p p r o v e d b \ the Adminis t ra t ion. The money presently is not a v a i l a b l e for the under tak ing , a l though Dr. Beery indicated that " a por t ion of the Public B r o a d c a s t i n g Act of 1907 provides the possibi l i ty of par-tial suppor t of the establ ishment

of educat ional KM facili t ies." The exact na tu re of the suppo r t is un-known, but f r o m 50 per cent to 75 per cent of the cost m a y be provided .

Dr. Beery stressed that the KM p r o p o s a l is on ly one of several p roposa l s , all of which must be decided upon . He did s a y that Hie pioposed" F M s ta t ion would be designed as economical ly as possible. He added that because of the time limit, if the oppor tun i ty to acqui re a n FM s ta t ion is by-passed , then it might be near ly impossible ever to acqu i re one.

RCA Studies Possible Merger Editor's Note: This is the first in a two-part series of articles by juniors Norman Mol and Ken Nienhuis dealing with the me-chanics, significance and effects of the pro-posed merger between the Reformed Church in Amcrica and the Presbyterian Church of the United States. Aforthcoming article will deal with the effect of this merger on Hope College.

By Norman Mol and Ken Nienhuis

At present , the Reformed Church in Amer-ica is f ac ing the quest ion of merger. It is a quest ion that will be decided within the next two yea r s and regard less of the outcome the effect on t h e d e n o m i n a t i o n wi l lbep ro found .

It is a l so a quest ion that is hotly con-tested. At present no accu ra t ep red i c t i oncan be m a d e as to which way the decision will

Ko. T H E PROPOSED MERGER would be

with the Presbyter ian Church in the I 'ni ted States ( P C l ' S ) , c o m m o n l y known as the Southern Presbyter ian Church , and would result in the f o r m a t i o n of the Presbyter ian Reformed Church in America. In the light of present developments , it is possible that the first General Assembly of this g roup could meet in June of 1970. If all of this happens , it would mean that the RCA would be pa r t of a un ion five times its present size and that it would have a na-tional scope for the first t ime in its history.

The present chain of events goes back to .li>ne of 1961. At this time the General Synod of the RCA considered p r o p o s a l s f rom v a r i o u s g r o u p s within the church concern ing mergers in several directions. These were studied du r ing the following year . One of the p r o p o s a l s suggested merger with the PCl 'S .

In April of 1962 a meeting was held between representat ives of both denomi-na t ions at which p l ans were laid for a Joint Commit tee ol Twenty-lour which would be m a d e up of twelve representatives f rom each g roup . This p lan was a p p r o v e d by the Synod of 1962 and the committee went into action immediately. At the invi-tat ion of Dr. Irwin Lubbers , then President of Hope College and a member of theJoint Committee, a meeting was held at Hope in

June, 1962. T H I S WAS T H E first of a long series

of meet ings that h a s continued to the present. Progress h a s been g r a d u a l but definite. In 1965, the General Synod of the RCA and the General Assembly ot the P C l ' S g a v e the Commit tee a directive l o p r e p a r e a p lan of union for presentat ion no later than 1968 . " Since that time the Commit tee h a s p repa red three dral t docu-ments that deal with government , worship, discipline, theology, witness and structure for the p roposed church.

According to Dr. Bernard Hrunsting, pas to r of the Kirst Reformed Church of Hol land and a member of the Committee of 'Twenty-four, the final meeting oi the Commit tee will be held in F e b r u a r y of 1968. \t this time the final draft ot the p lan ol union will be made .

'This p lan of union will be presented to bo th the General Synod and the Gen-eral Assembly in June of 1968. 'The two bodies will be meeting s imul taneous ly but in different locat ions. If the p lan is a p p r o v e d by these g roups , (at the General Synod, this would require a ma jo r i ty vote), it will be referred to the presbyteries and the classes of the denomina t i ons for a vote. In the Reformed Church , a ma jo r i t y vote in two-thirds of the classes would be required for a p p r o v a l . In the Presbyter ian (. hur( h, a ma jo r i ty vote in three-fourths of the presbyter ies would be required. 'This vot ing would be d o n e between June, 1968 and

June, 1969. _ n u i IF APPROVED, the p lan will go back

to the rul ing bodies for final enactment in June of 1969. A t rans i t ional commiss ion , consis t ing of twelve members f r o m each d e n o m i n a t i o n would then take over and the mach inery for merging the denomi-na t ions as outlined in the p lan of union would go into effect. Dr. Hrunst ing specu-lated that this p rocedure would take f rom two to three years. However, a l r eady in J u n e of 1970, the General Assembly of the new church would meet as a single

body . T o tnose in f a v o r of merger, the issue

is not a theological one. Rev. H e r m a n Ridder, President of Western Theological Seminary , said that the a d v a n t a g e of the merger is general ly a p r agma t i c one. The quest ion that counts seems to be whether a m(a*ged church " c a n get the job done better than two smal ler independent de-nomina t ions . Rev. Ridder thinks that this is p r o b a b l e because the merged church would be a large, nat ional o r g a n i z a t i o n

REV. GARRET WILTERDINK of Western Seminary, giving another reason for merger, said that it would probably

m a k e possible the cutting of admin i s t r a t ive

costs. In addi t ion. Rev. Wilterdink noted that

geograph ica l ly the RCA and the P C L S would compliment eachother well. The Reformed Church has 2 6 0 , 0 0 0 members and 934 churches located mostly in New York. New Jersey, Michigan, Illinois and Cal i fornia . The Presbyter ian (. hurch is about four times larger , hav ing 9 5 1 , 0 0 0 members and 4 ,002 churches, the vast ma jo r i ty of which are concentrated below the Mason-Dixon Line.

'The new denomina t ion , accord ing to Rev. Wilterdink, would therefore be a na-t ional o rgan iza t ion , h a v i n g churches in a far greater a r ea of the coun t ry t h a n either denomina t ion has now. He sa id fur ther that in a na t ion which has as mobi le a. popu la t ion as the I 'ni ted States, a na-tional church is a lmost a necessity if mem-bership is to be conserved.

In addi t ion. Dr. Hrunst ing said tha. merg ing would " d e m o n s t r a t e the oneness of the body of Chris t ." Rev. Char les Van-der Heek of Hol l and ' s Rose Park Reformed Church went a step father , viewing the churches as so close theological ly and o rgan iza t iona l ly that merger is a "Hibli-cal impera t ive ."

O N E GROUP AGAINST merger is the Fellowship of the Concerned. Members of the Fellowship are general ly f rom the Wes-tern Michigan churches.

Rev. Adr i an New ho use, pas to r of the F irst Reformed Church of Zeeland and president of the g r o u p , has said that th( goa l of the Fellowship is to insure ' a cont inuing Reformed Church.

The feeling of the g r o u p is that merger will lead to the eventual d i s rega rd of those va lues which have t radi t ional ly been re-ga rded a s essential to the Reformed Church. This is because the PCUS-RCA merger is viewed, a c c d f e i n g to Rev. Newhouse, as a p robab le " s tepp ing stone to fur ther mergers . "

THIS F E E L I N G HAS been kindled by the 1966 decision of thp Southern Pres-by te r ians to t ake pa r t in the d iscuss ions of the Council on Church Union. The pur-pose of COCU is the eventual merger of the Episcopal , Methodist and Presbyter ian churches into one denomina t ion .

The fear of eventual par t ic ipa t ion in C O C U a n d the merger it p roposes h a s turned a great number of R d o r m e d church-men aga ins t the PC US-RCA merger . C O C U par t ic ipa t ion to m a n y would symbol ize a willingness to sacrifice wha t are r ega rded a s p r i m a r y Reformed Church beliefs.

Rev. G o r d o n Van Oostenberg of Hol-l and ' s Trini ty Reformed Church , a fo rmer President of General Synod , is one who opposes merger because of the PC US pa r -

P h o t o g r a p h by Tom Donia

ticipation in C O C U . He said that the Soutn-ern PresbyteMan action " s h o w s the direc-tion ,in which that church is go ing ."

WHILE T H I S HAS p r o b a b l v become the central a rgumen t aga ins t merger other factors have been b r o u g h t forth. Rev. New-house said that in the pas t church un ions have not tended to p r o v i d e an increase in congrega t iona l g iving or a greater mission effort. He also said that it r ema ins to be p roven whether or not o rgan iza t iona l costs could be cut by merger .

Predictions concerning the fate of the proposed merger a re var ied. It is a com-mon opinion that the p lan of un ion will be app roved b y General Synod next spring.

However, the real test of the p lan will come when it goes to the local level for approva l . In a poll of 18 Reformed Church ministers in the Hol land a rea only two felt that it would be passed. Both of these men were opposed to the merger . Many of those who f a v o r the merger are not sure abou t what will happen. Seven of the 18 ministers felt that it would be defeated and the other nine were of the opinion that it is impossible to m a k e any prediction. Most of these men feel that it will be very close and could go either way.

IT IS POSSIBLE to speculate on the politics of the si tuation. It is general ly held that there is much suppor t for the idea in the eastern a r eas of the church. Dr. Hrunst ing felt that it is very possible that all o f t heeas t e rnc l a s se s would a p p r o v e

the plan. If this happens , it would require a p p r o v a l f r o m only seven of the classes in the rest of the denomina t ion to meet the two-thirds requirement. Rev. Hrunst ing felt that this is possible but not certain.

An indication of opinion on the ques-tion can be obtained f rom the poll of Hol land ministers. Of the 18 polled, eleven were opposed to the merger, five were in f a v o r and two were undecided. The min-isters who are opposed to the merger saifl that their churches backed them up in this posit ion.

When it comes, the final decision will h a v e very definite effects either way. Rev. Van Oostenburg said that if there is no merger , there are churches that would leave the denomina t ion and become affil-iated with one of the Presbyter ian denom-inations. How m a n y there would be is h a r d to say but they would p r o b a b l y come f rom the eastern area* of the church.

R t V . N E W H O U S E also aff i rmed this. He said that both sides agree that there will be some split over merger no matter which way it goes.

On the other hand , if the merger takes place, there is evidence that it will not be accepted calmly. Many of the members of the Fellowship of the Concerned were reluctant to talk about ihis ^ossibil i tv be-cause they wish to stress the fact that tney are go ing to try to keep the merger f rom taking place. However, if it happens , m a n y feel that they would be obl igated by con-viction to vote to get out. Rev. Newhouse, in speak ing about the possibi l i ty of se-cession for his congrega t ion , s a i d , " 1 would think that we would undoub ted ly bp one, '

Ol the Holland area ministers who were polled, five said that they would p r o b a b l y lead their churches in leaving the merger Many factors enter this dec i s ioa The pro-cedure for seceding would be slow and difficult. All churches are legally required to follow the denomina t ion into themerger . However, the present draf t of the p lan of un ion leaves room for a congrega t ion to vote to get out after a period of one year. People who are aginst the merger do not like this one year clause. Rev. Newhouse stated that "it would dull the thinking of local churches on the critical issues "

ANOTHER FACTOR seceding churches would face is the possibili ty of f inding themselves isolated and helpless when they leave. Some ministers would try to get out only if they were sure thai there would be a sizeable g r o u p go ing with them.

Not everyone who is aga ins t themerger would try to get out. Kleven of the Hol land area ministers said they would s tay even though only five were actual ly in favor of merger .

Dr. Bruns t ing , s t ress ing that the threat of secession has b e e n overemphasizec^said, " I don ' t think any split will occur . " He went on to say that if the union does take place, churches will find out du r ing the one year wait ing per iod that the effects of merger are not as offensive as would be initially expected. Rev. Van Oostenburg also felt that if split occurs, it would not be great . His reasons were that the prob-lems of going it a lone with only a small g roup of churches and no seminary would

be too great . . . _ C H U R C H E S COULD get a r o u n d this

by jo in ing another g roup such as the Chris t ian Reformed Church or the Ortho-

d o x Presbyter ian Church. However , this ' g r o u p would p r o b a b l y be small .

It is p r o b a b l e that not much split will occur unless interest can be susta ined over the one year period and then on ly if a sizeable g roup would m o v e out together.

REBOUND—Floyd Brady ( 3 3 ) and an unidentified Aquinas player fight for a rebound in last Wednesday's game. Hope defeated Aquinas, 109-93, for its first win in two starts.

Hope Defeats Aquinas, 109-93, In Second Game of the Season

Displaying ou t s tand ing scor ing power, Hope 's Flying Dutchmen rolled to a convincing 109-93 victory over the Aquinas College Tommies Wednesday night al West Catholic High gym in Grand Rapids.

Once aga in , Hope 's senior sen-sat ion, F loyd Brady, b r o k e the 30-point m a r k , as he tallied 10 field goals and hit twelve of 14 free throw attempts for 32 points. Thus , B r a d y has a two-game to-tal of 65 points.

BARRY SCHREIBER, fresh m a n whiz, nailed down a s tar t ing f o r w a r d j ob with a 21-point per-fo rmance . G u a r d Bruce McCrea-ry , held to four tallies in the first half, b r o k e loose in the final 20 minutes for 15 to finish with 19 points. McCreary ' s backcour t par tner , senior Gary R y p m a , scored 16, including eleven in the second half.

The Dutchmen moved out to an early 14-4 lead and stretched that m a r g i n to 22-9 at the 10-minute m a r k . At this point, B rady led the way with eleven tallies. With eight minutes r emain ing , H o p e held a comfor tab le 3 0 - 1 5 lead. The outclassed Tommies m a n a g e d to close the g a p some-what to 46-34 at the halft ime buzzer.

Leading an scorers at intermis-sion was Brady with 17, with

Aquinas ' 6-4 center Denny Patter-son close behind with 16.

T H E TOMMIES threw a tough full-court press ai the Dutch at the outset of the second half, c aus ing several Hope miscues and bring-ing Aquinas back into the g a m e , 51-45. Two quick baskets b y Tommie g u a r d Paul Jage l s m a d e the score 56-52, but that was as close as Aquinas got. Regaining their poise, the Dutch began to pull a w a y with Schreiber and Bra-dy hitting clutch baskets .

McCreary fired in two in a row f r o m 15 feet to give Hope an eleven-point lead, 70-59. With five minutes to go, McCrea ry p o p p e d in another and the s c o r e b o a r d r ead 97-78. R y p m a ' s two char -ity tosses sent the Dutch over the magic century m a r k and into a 101-86 lead. *

After shoo t ing 3 9 per cent f r o m the floor in the first half, H o p e picked up somewhat in the next s t anza to finish at 4 3 per cent. Also, the Dutch connected on 2 1 of 2 7 free throws for 78 per cent.

LEADING T H E Tommies in scor ing was .lagels with 24 points a n d Patterson with 22.

In the p re l imina ry contest, the Hope f reshmen won their season opener b y a 82-71 score. Dar ry l Hi l l ebrands led Hope with 17 points, while B o b b y Blanton had 15 and R a n d y Adolphs twelve.
