As he approaches the mountain, he looks to the horizon which, for him, outlines mystery and promise; apprehension and compulsion; expectation and actualization. The trek continues, vegetation thins, ears tighten and the traveller grows anxious as the mountain looms progressively larger ahead. At last he reaches the grassy hills just beyond which is the pass to the summit. To his chagrin, a storm moves up the side of the mountain; to his delight, a spectrum of color arches just beyond the precipice.

A series of events, in a given stretch of time, can be so thought of to be similar in a unique sort of way. That type of reflection is often embodied in an analogy; such an analogy can become a theme. Packaged in plastic. Linda Schulte volunteers to work the Ox Roast With a theme in hand, student historians may attempt to gather the year and contain its salient aspects in a time capsule. It is the presentation of a year's happenings in a clear context; taking the year's events and packaging them with thematic gift wrapping. Hope made it to the foothills with the class of 79; as an institution, as a community and as the group bedecked in cap and gown. The Dow Health and Physical Education Center opened its doors in the fall as a six year promise finally kept. Funds were tediously raised, commitments were made and construction began on the Phelps expansion project. Campus renovation continued with the resurrection of Van Vleck and the permanent closing of 12th Street. Indeed, the year witnessed an alarming amount of campus cosmetic surgery.

One can hardly accuse this College of stagnation; in what she has accomplished, or in the way she dreams. When it appears we have finally reached a goal, more sought after and tougher to attain goals come into our field of view. The climb ends; yet it has just begun... Opening 11 Graduating seniors rested in the foothills in May. No doubt, it was a point of arrival for these scholars; but also, it was a point of departure. John Kenneth Galbraith sees it as something even more than just a landmark as he cites in The Affluent Society, “Scholars gather in scholarly assemblages to hear in elegant statement what all have heard before. Yet it is not a negligible rite, for its purpose is not to convey knowledge, but to beautify learning and the learned. Coming to Grips by Sue Van Den Brink As the hours of summer work ended and vacation drew to a close, thoughts of the experiences of the previous year colored my anticipation of returning to the school routine. Images of all-nighters. pledging, classes, familiar faces and places and friends mingled with the memories of the special events like Nykerk and Pull. Traditions at Hope College are just as impor- tant as the present and the future, and the annual Nykerk and Pull are good examples of that; and of even more. Emotionally enmeshed m the spectacle a TV 8 cameraman grabs some footage for the 6 O'clock News Wednesday, September 6 Journal entry: I just returned from the De Witt kick-off meeting for the 1981 Pull team. There were no slides or music like we had last year, but that same intangible feeling was present. In honest but deter- mined words, the coaches spoke of the previous year, of hard work and of this year's hopes, dreams and unfinished business. Familiar faces of the team members I'd grown close to. nodded now and then in agreement; fists clenched and opened The new people looked a little stunned and scared, but I think they had caught the spark of feeling which once again began to grow like a breeze-fanned fire between us. Thursday, September 20 Journal entry: Hold back time so that I can think and understand It seems like only yesterday that we began our first day of practice and all too soon the time of our goal is upon us to be conquered or lost. Tonight we girls dressed up and went to the guy's meeting. By flick- ering candlelight and a little off-key. we sang. Well, hello Pull team ... well, hello Pull team, it’s so nice to say that we re a part of you ..With only a few words and a cake, we tried to explain how much our guys meant to us. As a team we shared tears, hopes and fears. The next day. the day of the Pull, we floated through class or just didn't go. This year Pull hadn't been as distracting time-wise as compared to our freshman year; but we still lived and died for achieving our goal of winning the Pull. Before the tape-up session, a team picture immortalizing the competitive spirit of unity was taken. On film we recorded the true feeling of working toward a common goal At Durfee a stereo was on and our song was playing, and all of the team was present coaches, pullers and the morale girls; each pre- paring for their part All around me were grown and growing individuals, each an important cog in a machine; a team playing a life-game knowing that cooperation was a strong game plan. Between each one ran a fine thread of something more than just friendship. In a corner, by a window or bowed in reflective prayer on a couch; each member psyched up for what was to come The bus ride, the coaches' last words, prayer with the team, and the walk to the pits carved into our side of the Black River were tense and pensive We weren't overly confi- dent or frightened — we hadn't been cocky at all; we were prepared The first thing that greeted us at the pits were our proud blue and orange '81 sheets. We would make it; we had to. At the pits the guys left us to do warm-up cals.

The pink marking tape travelled back and forth with heaves. Sometimes it held with a strain-back and sometimes it moved. Long after the pink marker had been ten feet away from the knot it gradually made its way toward it. The anchor and each team member ahead of him fought valiantly. But the pink marker moved again and suddenly the anchor pop- ped a pit and a man stood alone with his morale girl beside him feeling he wanted to do something, but not knowing how or where, and struggling to calm a rising fear Anxious coaches hovered everywhere wondering what was amiss with the strategy or what was missing from the form of the lock-ins. strains, and heaves. No time existed; minutes and movements blended while the other team seemed so strong. We found anchoring doesn't work in a shorter pit and in a flash we'd popped two more. Then there were two men to a pit and the anchor was off the knot and in a pit And still we pulled. Blisters and tears appeared but no one gave in. instead all gave extra; set and determined faces, straining muscles and hoarse morale girls belied the fact. And through the struggle things were revealed about the inner people who had made a commitment to work together toward a common goal. The team didn't give up and didn't give in until the judges told them to fall off. and then they still didn't want to quit In the aftermath there was a jubilant yell from the other side as the rope burned by swiftly, and then there were tears and a silent letdown of a sad loss But not really a loss, because you can't go through three weeks of practice, and two hours and fifty-six minutes of stressed life and not get something out of it Pull is not just stinking pads, shorts and shirts, grimy pits and blisters and wasted time, it's the intangible feeling you get when you work together — pulling toward a common goal It's a sense of accomplishment, to say I have pulled is a feat and an experience It is memories of hard work and sharing a close odd-affection friendship Pull is an event that teaches about life, not like in a classroom, but about cooper- ation. unity and struggle — for real And Pull is winning, even when some say you've lost Winning is when you find out that you didn’t give in even when the going was tough on the rope, or in life Keeping a stiff upper lip, Lou Rietkohl strains early m the contest Grips The Pull 17 UKG StMEffi?

Dow Health and Physical Education Center became a focal point of campus activity and the festivities of Homecoming 1978 this fall. The celebration began with the unveiling of a bronze plaque in the main foyer of the center paying tribute to three men who pioneered Hope programs in physical education and athletics: John H. L. Schouten. Milton L. Hinga and Alvin W. Vanderbush. For the many who were touched by these men. the inscription will bear the significance of their diverse contributions to Hope College: ... dedicated to teaching, devoted to students, inspirational as coaches, honorable as men.” Classes ended at 1:30 and the day couldn't have been more fantastic: bright and sunny with most students decked out in the traditional pointers and docks. One would almost think that students were heading to the track for May Day. Encircled by Chapel Choir members, cheerleaders and sundry faculty. High Depree cut the ribbon officially opening the facility. The service of dedication was spearheaded by a processional performed with the aid of the Hope College Orchestra and followed by the delivery of the invocation by Chaplain Peter Semeyn. The arts were well represented; the orchestra. Chapel Choir and specially selected dancers joined to perform Part 1 of Leonard Bernstein's Chichester Psalms. Psalm 108 was quite a propos: “Know ye that the Lord. He is God. It is He that has made us and not we ourselves. We are His people... President Van Wylen. who put a great deal of personal effort into seeing the facility become a reality, introduced Richard 0. Keelor, Director of Program Development. President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports; the topic of his address was. “Your Stake in the Nation's Fitness. His enthusiastic message was well received. David Leenhoets, President of Student Congress and Dr. William Vanderbilt, chairman of the Department of Physical Education and recreation each expressed their gratitude to all those who offered their support and services which made the building of Dow Center possible. Dr Van Wylen then awarded honorary degrees to two men who have made noteworthy contributions in their respective fields: Donald G. Mulder. M.D. received the Doctor of Science degree nd Willard Depree. M A received the Doctor of Laws degree The keys to the Dow Center were then accepted by Victor W. Eimicke. Chairman of the Board of Trustees Harvey T Hoekstra. President of the General Synod of The Reformed Church of America led the Litany of Dedication. The Litany concluded in a very fitting manner. Teach those who use this building to be thoughtful winners and gracious losers ... help us to remember that what is hardest often is the most rewarding and the goal which is most distant may be most glorious. .

After studying all week, one is in need of a change of pace, but the alternatives seem hardly worth exploring . . . Yet, on Friday, October 20th, this apathy was noticeably missing. The activities planned for that day and the next two were enough to plug any student's social calendar, for it was Homecoming Weekend 1978 Homecoming had a different flavor this year. The theme of physical fitness was prevalent in all events. Local physical education experts gave lectures on the subject. Classes were dismissed at 1 30 p m allowing students to attend the Dedication of Dow Health and Physical Education Center. And even the annual Kletz • Concert, featuring the Hope College Concert Band and Jazz Ensemble, was held in the Dow Center's gymnasium The merriment started all over again Saturday Bright and early, in a cross country meet, the Hope Flying Dutchmen met the Adrian Bulldogs The Flying Dutchmen, enroute to another league crown, won the meet. 15-49. Then, students, faculty and community members all turned out to enjoy the beautiful weather and to take part in the first annual Hope Run-Bike- Swim. Saturday morning was also a time for the official reunion of the classes of Steve Peachey and Jill Nihart are crowned King and Queen '68 and '73. Alumnus of sororities were entertained at luncheons at various local restaurants, while fraternities opened up frat house doors to their alumni visiting the campus And then it was on to Riverview Park to see the Flying Dutchmen meet the Bulldogs again, this time on the football field. Although vying with an impressive Bulldog defense. Hope managed to keep its Homecoming victory record of 15 years winning intact by scoring the only touchdown of the game in the third quarter While the Dutch were crowning the I.F.C. President Carl Torcn presents academic trophy to Arcadian President Mark Boelkm Bulldogs, Hope College partisans witnessed the halftime coronation of Jill Nihart. a senior from Bryan, Ohio, and Steve Peachy, a sophomore from Point Cicero. Indiana, as Queen and King. They, and their court, had been elected by the student body during the preceding week. Academic trophies were received this year by the Arcadian fraternity and the Kappa Delta Chi sorority The women of Dykstra Hall were rewarded lor their creativity by being declared winners of the dorm decorating contest The game, however, was not the end to the festivities. SAGA served a highly palatable buffet dinner for everyone The fraternities held traditional Homecoming dances to welcome back alumni. With the evening came a presentation by the Student Activities Committee of Cabbage Crik, a bluegrass band The weekend concluded with a worship service Sunday morning in Dimnent Memorial Chapel. Chaplain Peter Semeyn, an alumni of the class of 1973. conducted the service with the aid of the alumni Chapel Choir Indeed Homecoming'78 was a fabulous celebration. For the alumni, for the students and for anyone affiliated with Hope College, the festivities surrounding the dedication of the Dow Health and Physical Education Center provided a warm and most unique environment to come home to. .1 Homecoming 21 Holding Back the Tears Parent’s Weekend: Hundreds of Moms and Hoiland. yellow chrysanthemum corsages appear as if by magic, and nervous, excited freshman and sophomore women prepare for the Nykerk Cup Competition. This year, the forty-second annual Nykerk Competition is once again a main attraction of the busy weekend, as it has been for over forty years. The History: (This is an excerpt from the October 24.1946 Anchor, the first Nykerk Cup Competition was held on March 16.1936). A number of years ago. the men of the Sophomore and Freshman classes were in eager preparation for the annual Soph-Frosh pull, a tradition we know today, and one envoking much rivalry between the two classes. The pull was run off as scheduled. It was a quick victory for one of the teams, which in itself would have been all right, save for the one factor the men had overlooked. It seemed as though the feminine aggregation which had been assembled to cheer the men on to victory had been very disappointed at the ease with which the battle was won.” The fairer sex held a council of war. and demanded that they, too. be given a chance to display their class spirit, teamwork, and their Amazonian biceps. A mediator in the form of Dr. Nykerk then intervened before open hostilities ran rampant, and laid before the feminine portion of the student body, his plan for a contest, which, while not so strenuous as the pull, would serve as an end for working off any excess class spirit the girls might have and offer something unique in the way of inter-class rivalry. Dr. Nykerk’s plan was this, the Sophomore and Freshman classes each year would present the best each class could offer in three lines: acting, oratory, and music. In Dr. Nykerk's plan it was stipulated that advisors could be chosen for the freshmen from the Junior class, and for the sophomores from the Senior class. Coaches from the Freshman and Sophomore classes would be chosen to supervise and egg their teams on to victory.” Dr. Nykerk went still further and donated a cup upon which the name of the winning class was to be engraved Thus it was the Nykerk Cup Contest came to be ...

Seniors Lauri Kremers and Elizabeth Vander Woude are no less proud as they observe the adaptation of The Genesis of Narnia they directed for the sophomores Equally impressive are the performances offered by the freshmen. Junior Sue Sharp ends three weeks of intensive rehearsal as she conducts the freshmen in a rendition of Climb Every Mountain. Freshman Cathy Krueger is responsible for the happy faces of coaches Janis Lundeen and Ann Helmus as she delivers her oration, also on the topic of Loneliness. Juniors Stacy Burris and Kathie Smith see their directing efforts come to life in the freshman presentation of A Barrel of Peanuts The Decision: Hearts pound as the judges cast their votes while senior Paul Daniels performs Elton John's Friends Finally the moment arrives and the announcement declared.

Hope's performance of Henrik Ibsen's The Wild Duck was one the audience will not soon forget. In this reform play. Ibsen demonstrates what occurs when humans perceive life differently, and then attempt to force their perceptions on others. The intermingling of the poverty-stricken lives of the Ekdals with the free life of the wealthy Werles enables us to understand the tension which occurs when differing frames of reference are forced together. Young Gregers Werle (Robert Schultz), a disillusioned, homely man. initiates the ensuing conflicts as he coerces others into facing reality, his reality. The subject of his attacks is Hjalmar Ekdal (Paul Daniels), a confused man who has never decided what it is he desires of existence. Hjalmar delights in dreaming of the day when his invention will be finished and will bring him fame and fortune. In truth, he has no invention, finished or otherwise. Hjalmar simply contents himself with sitting back, allowing his wife Gina (Kathie Smith) and daughter 26 The Wild Duck Hedvig (Deborah Grimm), to scrimp and save in order to provide him what little opulence they can. Old Ekdal (Daniel Huizenga), Hjalmar’s father, is a humorous old gent. His eccentric idiosyncrasies demonstrate his disillusionment and the effect years of humiliation have had upon his life. As the plot unfolds, Gregers forces Hjalmar to discard his facticious life illusion by informing Hjalmar of the true father of little Hedvig. Hjalmar cannot face the fact that Hedvig is not his own child; in his frustration he withdraws the love for which Hedvig lives. Gregers observes this behavior and persuades Hedvig to certify the love she feels for her lather by sacrificing her beloved pet. a wild duck. Gregers' plan backfires, however, and Hedvig takes her own life instead. In the end we realize Hedvig was the true wild duck. Once she reached the murky depths of the swamp she could never again resurface. The performance, aided by symbolic lighting property effects, and executed with a style both polished and professional, was directed by Jussi K V. Tammi.

Christmas candles, were not required to begin 15 minutes before the service As a result of a mandate by the fire marshall, the 86 candles that have traditionally illuminated the fore of the sanctuary were replaced by evergreens sparkling with white lights. And flanking the torch lights were just two candles now — the last remnants of a service characterized by a seemingly countless array of candle flames and the atmosphere of rev- erence and beauty they created Traditions die hard. Vet. the Christmas Vespers have been subjected to change throughout its 36 year history The first Vesper service was conducted on December 7. 1942 to commemorate the anniversary of Pearl Harbor At that time. Vespers was not a service for Christmas, but a musical post- war celebration. As time passed, and the memory of Pearl Harbor and World War II faded. Vespers took on a more liturgical appear- ance and since the event occurs just prior to the dismissal of classes for Christmas break. Vespers evolved into the yule- tide celebration that it is today. In the early 70s. the popularity of the Vespers service swelled beyond the capacity of Dimnent Memorial Chapel Many in attendance were forced to stand in the aisle throughout the program This proved unsatisfactory to the fire marshall and consequently, two Vespers services were conducted. Soon, two services were incapable of handling the popularity of the event and the program was extended again — to three services, all held on Sunday. Another growth in demand soon followed and complimentary tickets were issued This was followed by the addition of another service on Saturday and a nominal charge for entry. Irregardless of the difficulty of accommodating the mas- sive turnout. Christmas Vespers maintains the musical and liturgical excellence with which it was initiated in 1942. Today the acolytes light only two candles, but in all other essential respects, the service is still an inspiring orientation to the Christmas season. The service begins and ends with the processional and recessional of the Chapel Choir, the College Chorus, the chaplain and most importantly the cruci- fer and torch bearers The music aids in sustaining the tradi- tion of Vespers in the perennial singing of ’'Torches throughout the processional, while the recessional anthem, also traditional, portrays the significance of the event of Christmas Vespers, for as ”... the child grew. he also .. waxed strong in spirit.'' a fffrosfy fffesflval WINTER WEEK It's that January-February stretch where one is hard pressed to tind anything to celebrate Little surprise, then, that Hope coliegiates would turn a cold, eventless week into a festival of sorts The week of February to saw students take to the cold with an American Legion Golf Course traying party and Cannonsbury skiing followed by a snow derby and a Winter Fantasia evening A fantasy of lights was the distinguishing feature of the 1979 Winter Fantasia In an unique turn of events.

We have all studied his works at one time or another during our academic careers, and many of us are familiar with Shakespeare's imagination brought to life through the creations of the ethereal spirit Ariel, the pitiful monster Caliban, and the powerful, yet loving Prospero. Even so. few were prepared for the performance about to be presented as we sat waiting for the cast to begin their lines. The atmosphere was determined even before the lights went down. The set. void of curtains, was visible for all to see. Its murky colors gave the audience a feeling of dark foreboding, as if viewing a rocky island cliff in all its severity. One felt that more was to be hidden on that stage, ready to emerge as the play unfolded. The colors and textures foreshadowed the plot of The Tempest; stormy in every detail. Hinting not only of the thunder and lightning to come, but also of the ancient conflicts between members of a ruling family. As the play begins, we learn of a ship at sea, filled with the enemies of Prospero (Eric Fitzgerald). Banished as the Duke of Milan by his own brother, Prospero has come to reside with his daughter. Miranda (Deborah Grimm), on a tropical island. Here he rules through his magical powers and his control of the spirit Ariel. With the spirit's help, he creates a storm to carry his enemies' ship to his island. Having been forced aground by the storm, the ship's crew is separated and wanders in small groups about the island. Their individual personalities emerge; tension seems high. Alonso. (Paul Daniels) King of Naples, is serious and sad. believing his son Ferdinand has been killed. His brother. Sebastian (Robert Schultz) and Prospero's brother. Antonio (Dan Huizenga) offset the King's moods with mischevious and often suggestive humor Ferdinand (Charles Bell), alive but separated from the others, is led by Ariel (Nola Van Alstine) to Prospero’s cave. Upon his arrival. Ferdinand first meets Miranda. In her innocent way. Miranda delights in the sight of the first man she has met other than her father and the cripple Caliban. Ferdinand and Miranda fall in love with amazing speed, and it is decided they will marry. The remainder of the play is filled with plots and subplots, but in the end. Prospero renounces his magic, regains his Dukedom, and grants Ariel the freedom promised her. What makes this individual production special is not the great script of Shakespeare, but the methods used to bring it to life. The darkly lit set and the magnificent costumes were only the beginning. The airy dancing of the spirits during the nuptial pageant for Miranda and Ferdinand added a mysterious quality missing in other productions of The Tempest. The special effects used by Eric Fitzgerald in his role as Prospero were believable, dazzling, and always unexpected. But most important, the actors themselves added a dimension rarely seen in a classical play presented by a college theatre group. Nola Van Alstine was wonderful as Ariel. Her graceful movements and delicate songs forced the viewer to believe in the existence of spirits. Eric Fitzgerald as Prospero was frightening in his vengeance and gentle in his forgiveness and in his love for his daughter Deborah Grimm and Charles Bell gave memorable performances in their roles as innocent, yet poignant lovers. Also worth special mention were Jonathon Smeenge and Phil McCullough as the hilariously funny drunks. Stephanoand Trinculo, and Marvin Hinga. who portrayed the crippled slave, Caliban, in a most convincing manner. The remainder of the cast, not mentioned only due to lack of space, were equally professional and unforgettable, helping to make this year's production of The Tempest one of the best ever productions presented on Hope's campus. 32 The Tempest Bemoaning the loss ot his son Ferdinand.

Weeks before the eventful day we girls used 1o start to work on our baskets We zealously performed all our little household duties after school, so that we might have all the time after supper for making the baskets after several evenings of work, we had our task completed with the exception of filling the baskets with candy, peanuts, popcorn . . The girls, on the first day of May would distribute the baskets to boys' houses, knock on the door and run Track and Field activities also took place with competition between the classes, as opposed to the interfraternal competition associated with May Day today On the day before May Day '79. the Gordon Van Wylen Frisbee Golf Classic was played out in the face of high winds. Ron Haight, a sophomore from Holland, came into the clubhouse'' with a 45 toss score to win the event and take home first prize — a new frisbee The highlight of the day for many May Day participants was the young comic- juggler. Michael Marlin Marlin's sometime ribald, always entertaining style that included several deft juggling stunts was readily accepted and appreciated by a packed Mandivile Cottage front lawn crowd Soon after. Jeanne Moore was crowned May Day Queen The day came to a close with the Graves Hall showing of Young Frankenstein and a dance to the music of Masquerade in the Kleiz of the De Witt Cultural Center The Jazz Band, with drummer Tom Langeians. was on hand for periodic performances ◄Unquestionably a hit, comic juggler Michael Marlin's entertainment was very entertaining May Day 35 piEciNq iT On May 13, 1979, Hope College conferred undergraduate degrees upon 424 seniors during the 114th annual Commencement exercises at the Holland Civic Center It was no surprise to the students, who. after four years of piecing together a liberal arts education had been planning for the event for some time; mailing out invitations, sending applications to graduate schools, interviewing for jobs. A very familiar face to Hope regulars delivered the Commencement address. The Rev.

Our relationship to the world involves such a delicate balance, that events occurring in even the most remote areas of the world have global implications. The academic year 78-79 was remarkably illustrative of the complexity of this international structure of relationships. It was also a year that gave Americans cause to wonder just how fragile that structure really is. Papal Turnover Installed on September 3. in replacement of Pope Paul VI. the selection of Lord Cardinal Albino Luciam was surprizingly swift. When the smoke first began to curl out from the Vatican's Sistine Chapel on the Saturday before at 6 24 p m., it looked white — the traditional color to signal that the secret conclave within had elected a Pope They indeed had selected a Pope — in a stunningly speedy manner But equally swift was the tenure of the new Pope; the world mourned his death just 33 days later Once again the white smoke billowed from the makeshift Sistine Chapel chimney when Pericle Cardinal Felici stepped out on the central balcony of St Peter 's Basilica To the hush of the crowd he announced that the conclave of cardinals had come to a decision — the new Pope was Cardinal Karol Wojtyla It was a foreign Pope; the first Pope from Eastern Europe and the first from Poland, a nation whose fervor for Roman Catholicism had been unsurpassed for a millennium His new name was John Paul II and he was the youngest Pope chosen since 1846 The national daily Australian describes turn as a man built like a rugby tront-row forward He'll need that strength to lead the world's 700 million Roman Catholics The Ultimate Protest The large central building was ringed by bright colors It looked like a parking lot filled with cars When the plane dipped lower, the cars turned out to be bodies Scores and scores of bodies — hundreds of bodies — wearing red dresses, blue T-shirts, green blouses, pink slacks, children s polka-dotted jumpers Couples with their arms around each other, children holding parents Nothing moved Washing hung on the clotheslines The fields were freshly plowed Banana trees and grape vines were flourishing But nothing moved . That report came from TIME correspondent Donald Neff one of the first newsmen to view the gruesome consequences of the cultic fanaticism at Jonestown, Guyana, located on the northern coast of South America. The cause was a devilish blend of professed altruism and psychological tyranny, the effect was the self-imposed ritual of mass suicide and murder of 900 members of the California based Peoples Temple Current Evenis 39 The resultant carnage seemed to be spurred by the visit of California Congressman Leo Ryan Ryan, although having a few reservations, accepted the colony as providing happiness to a large number of people who had. up to this time, found happiness strangely illusive But. just as he was readying to leave. Ryan began to receive notes indicating that some of the colonists wanted to leave. Divided families argued over whether to stay or go; the Rev Jim Jones saw his congregation slipping away Finally. Ryan left for Port Kaituma with a group of colonists to board two aircraft that were awaiting them They were greeted by several men on a long, flat, tractor-pulled trailer When the tractor crossed the primitive airstrip, the men opened fire, killing Ryan and sundry newsmen and photographers. Back at the camp there was mass confusion. Exhorted by their leader and intimidated by armed guards, parents and nurses used syringes to squirt potassium cyanide and potassium chloride onto the tongues of babies. The adults and older children picked up paper cups and sipped the same deadly poison sweetened by purple Kool-Aid. It would not be till many days later that the 900 bodies, swelled and rotting in the tropical sun. would be shipped back to the states for identification and burial. 40 Current Events The Great Leap At 9:01 Friday evening on December 15. Carter told the world via television that the U S and China had secretiy agreed to establish formal diplomatic relations on January 1. 1979 The move would end nearly 30 years of mutual disgust between the two nations Under the agreement, the U S will terminate formal diplomatic relations with Taiwan Such a termination would call for the cancellation of the 1954 mutual defense treaty that committed the U.S to guarantee Taiwan's military security and withdraw the 700 American troops that are presently on the island It was called Peking’s great leap outward to the West, a perhaps overambitious effort by Vice Premier Teng to bring China up to contemporary standards ol living and economic competitiveness Americans had been seeking improved relations with mainland China for almost seven years, ever since President Nixon's breakthrough visit to Peking in 1972 Nixon had pledged to work toward normalization, but due to Watergate. Viet Nam. Mao-Tse- tung's death and other problems. theStwo countries made little progress until Carter took office Taiwan, now abandoned, reacted by pelting the U.S embassy on Taipei with an assortment ol rocks and eggs Some 2.000 Taiwanese tried to storm an American compound but were driven back by Marines with tear gas. Students painted slogans on white sheets displaying such messages as, We protest American recognition of the Communist bandits We will oppose Communism to the death. The importance of the event is quite evident Not only was it another monumental eflort in Carter's foreign policy dealings, but as Zbigniew Brzezinski states. The U S has a long term, common strategic interest in the improvement of our relationship with the People's Republic For obvious reasons. Moscow views China's opening to the West as potentially threatening and is suspicious of an anti-Soviet alliance between China. Japan and NATO One thing is certam, the normalization will create a more favorable international balance of power, not to mention the potential bonanza for the American economy Striking an Accord In what seemed to be anolher diplomatic coup. President Carter arbitrated the Egyptians and Israeli's together for a somewhat tenuous agreement. Certainly the effort was not to be underestimated News of the breakthrough in early '79 came as a big surprise to Americans who sat back and watched the negotiating sides miss their December deadline for striking up a peace accord Cyrus Vance's shuttle diplomacy met with dismal failure in early December and spurred a considerable amount of protest in Israel where discontents felt the U.S. was attempting to pressure Israel into an unfavorable agreement Despite these difficulties, a treaty was ceremoniously signed Vet to be decided the Palastiman issue Spiritual Rebellion After a year of demonstrations, punctuated by anger and crisis. Iran went wild with joy in early February as the 15-year exiled Ayatullah Khomeini came home to lead a spiritual revolution against the Shah and all he stood for Weeks later, that national joy turned sharply to sorrow as Khomeini inaugurated one of the most oppressive dictatorships ever established in the history of the world The end of the executions and the dictatorial imperatives seem nowhere in sight all in the name of religion Farther to the east, another kind of uprising had been going on. as China initiated a punitive action against Viet Nam The dispute broke out along the border over which these angry Communist neighbors and cultures have been antagonistic for 2.000 years. Fortunately, the war was limited; Viet Nam claiming they had sent the Chinese running. China saying it was an end to their punitive action The world breathed a heavy sigh of relief as the thought of U.S and Russian intervention haunted the international community throughout the conflict Nebulous Nuke As if the academic year '78- 79 did not have its share of newsworthy events. Pennsylvanians had to face not the storm clouds of spring, but the potential radiation clouds of a nuclear reactor at Three Mile Island. It was the worst nuclear accident in U.S history The incident involved a breakdown of a pump in the reactor's secondary loop, which carries non-radioactive water into the steam generator Here it absorbs heat that is transferred from the nuclear chain reaction in the core by the primary loop, turns to steam and drives the turbine that generates electricity. Lacking the steam s push, the turbine automatically shut down After the shutdown, officials noticed a leak of radioactive water on the reactor floor That meant that the primary loop, which brings cooling water into direct contact with the radioactive reactor core keeping it cool, had been affected in some unexplained way The amount of leaking water was estimated at 250.000 gallons generating steam pressure in the concrete dome of the reactor containment building The breakdown of the secondary loop caused increased pressure in the primary loop When several relief valves were tripped, radioactive gasses leaked into the atmosphere where it was detected by a Pennsylvania department of environmental resources helicopter flying overhead with a Geiger counter The leakage problem was compounded by the fact that the reactor core was not cooling down, increasing speculation that the core might melt-down falling into the standing water on the floor of the containment building and exploding into a radioactive cloud Eventually, the core was cooled, and a crisis averted, but the incident had phenomenal repercussions at nuclear reactor sites around the country and the world. The demonstration and protest of anti-NUKE sentiment is far from over Iranian demonstrator mob the streets. Current Events 41 A pair of Hope scientists realized their experimental efforts by ridding an organism of a deadly poison, but how their breakthrough can be used for the near-divine-like mission of saving man from his own technology is yet to be ascertained. It would seem that Drs. Schubert and Derr are in the same position as our foot traveller; the excursion, only now, has been consecrated. t Features 43 An interview with President Gordon Van Wylen prepared by the staff of the 79 Milestone, represented by Lenora Parish. THE VIEW FROM THE TOP Parish: The Class of 1979 will be graduating tomorrow following a year that may have been as newsworthy as 1968. The mass murder suicide at Jonestown. Guyana was a macabre event with strong implications for religion. How has the cultic massacre of 900 Americans affected an established institution like the Reformed Church of America9 Van Wylen: I think this has raised the whole question about religion and what the true nature of religion should be. To what extent should religion be authoritarian and to what extent should it be free9 That has a real implication for a college like Hope, and I’ll speak more about the college than the Reformed Church, where on the one hand we try to have a mature thoughtful commitment to the Christian faith and on the other hand a spirit of freedom and openness As I thought about this this past year. I was more than ever committed to this dual position. The people at Jonestown were looking for reality in life, for meaning, for faith, for the transcendent, for the ultimate, yet they got trapped in a very authoritarian environment. Hope must maintain this dual position of mature commitment and freedom and openness so that at the right time in the students' own personal lives they are prepared to make their decisions and their commitments. Parish: Soon after Guyana. Americans found the doors wide open to Communist China It can be argued that the recognition of China by the U.S. to the exclusion of Taiwan is yet another example of the way Americans have abandoned the idealism of the 1960's to pursue personal wealth and security. Dr. you agree with this assessment9 Van Wylen: Not exactly. The recognition of Mainland China was the right thing to do and the time had come for it. It was regrettable that it required such an abandonment of Taiwan. In the process, a measure of hypocrisy has developed. We give up the formal recognition, yet we do it informally. My concern is not so much what was done, but the way it was done. It seemgto weaken any moral fibre. We say we have abandoned Taiwan, but we find other ways to do it which have a real measure Of deception associated with them. The time had come to recognize mainland China, it's just a little pity that we couldn't have been more open and honest in the way we did it. Parish: At present, there is something close to peace in the Middle East Will that peace last or is it just a World War III stay of execution9 Van Wylen: Again, this is a very profound and very thoughtful question. I wish I could be more optimistic about the real significance of that peace. I wish nothing more than it leading to a real peace, but I have to agree that the implications of your question are very real and might well come to pass even though I hope they don't. Parish: Perhaps the biggest event of the year was the incident at Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania; not because of the danger it involved, but because of the new spirit of demonstration and protest it engendered and will engender in the 44 Van Wylen '80’s. Is this protest and demonstration justified7 Van Wylen: The regrettable thing about what is happening in relation to the Three Mile Island incident is a seeming inability to assess the total situation. So the great need in my mind is for rationality in all of this. My real concern is that you are going to get protests without this degree of rationality I would be interested in asking some people that are protesting, this question. “We sort of live in a democratic society, suppose that 75% of the people in this country voted to keep nuclear power plants, would you be satisfied with the majority vote7 This leaves that whole question of what risks we are willing to take, what value do we place on electrical energy being readily available71 sometimes think of the fact that they estimate the use of alcohol takes 100,000 lives a year We would never put up with losing 100.000 lives a year with nuclear energy, we would shut everything down, yet we accept it and say whatever benefits we derive, or think we derive from alcohol is worth it and I think that when it comes to energy there are risks involved and one has to assess these and make some hard decisions. Parish: Considering the four events we have just discussed, it is difficult to analyze what influence, if any. such occurrences have had on the Hope College community. This raises an issue that concerns many Hope students; namely, is Hope dangerously isolated from the rest of the 'real' world7 Van Wylen: This is an important question. There is always that danger that we are too isolated, but we have four years of undergraduate study where one can really concentrate on learning and not take upon himself or herself all the burdens and problems of the world It is a tremendous opportunity. I would like to think that by focusing on education, and a very good education where the student is in touch with the world without taking upon himself or herself all of the problems of the world, this is a very beneficial thing. So it is a danger and we have to work against it, but I don't think that the answer is, in one's undergraduate years, to give up the joys of these years, the friendships, the learning, to solve the problems . . there are many years after that to try and solve them. Parish: Like any college or university, Hope has a number of internal concerns. The problem of alcohol abuse is perennial, yet it has been intensified this year by the legislative tightening of the legal drinking age. Are you satisfied with Hope's drinking policies and the way they have been administered7 Van Wylen: I wish I knew a better solution to the whole problem than we have now If I did I would certainly push for a change. I don't think it is optimum, but I don't know of a better policy and the whole idea behind the policy, as far as I am concerned, is to create a whole residential environment which is conducive to our goal. If one really looks at the contemporary scene of higher education in this country, particularly on more secular universities, it 's a very hedonistic society, very self-seeking You can read about this in all magazines; the freedom of drink and sex. I don't think that's Hope's calling or our purpose. Our present alcohol policy helps to develop the residential environment that is so important to this college I wish students themselves would see and support the value of it and say, look, this is the kind of environment we want to live in. I think if they went to another environment, students would say that they prefer the old. but it's easy for students to look at this as a restriction that they don't like and I am somewhat sympathetic with it but I don't know a better solution. Parish: Greek society plays a large role at Hope. Do you believe that Greeks promote or damage the social health of the college7 Van Wylen: There are very few things in life which are all good or all bad The Greeks have made a very important contribution to the life of the college over the decades, even at the present time I would even like to see them take a greater responsibility for achieving the goals of the college rather than be quite so self-serving as they are In saying this I don't mean to be judgemental, but it's against contemporary society to have an organization which is going to serve just yourself. If it could be broadened to sen e the overall community a bit more, the Greeks would be the stronger and the College would be the stronger. They have made many positive contributions and I am supportive of them, but I would like them to rethink their role in society given the things we have been talking about. Parish: A salient aspect of the past year at Hope has been the physical expansion of the campus. The beauty of the College is obviously a major concern of yours. Looking ahead ten years, how will the College change in appearance7 Van Wylen: I think that students today are turning somewhat away from the materialistic emphasis. With the shortage of energy we have an excellent opportunity to develop attractive environments and being somewhat more satisfied with our lives. With the completion of the Dow Center I would love to see the campus be a very beautiful, attractive place for students I want students to have a sense of fulfillment because of the environment in which they are living and studying. We will do a number of restorations. I think we can get 12th Street closed, it would make this a beautiful place There is going to be a great sense of well-being and a satisfaction out of it Parish: Hope is reputed for its intellectual vitality, yet certain campus organizations have made the accusation that Hope students are apathetic, as evidenced by the lack of participation in these same organizations Do you think that Hope students are apathetic or is it the fault of these organizations in not making an appropriate appeal for student participation? Van Wylen: It is always difficult to decide what is apathy or what is a commitment to other goals. Some students are very serious academically, feeling that their studies should take priority. Some feel that they should work a great deal so that they can have the money to attend college and don't have extra time. So. there is a measure of apathy, but I don't think that it is an overriding problem We could certainly do well to create a better sense of community where there is more involvement. I think, for example, of going to a very nice concert and there aren't many Hope students there They are losing something. I guess this all leads me to try to develop an environment which a whole commitment is to grow in development and service in support of other students. Maybe I am too idealistic in this regard, but that is what I would like to see. Parish: Finally, what do you imagine the Hope student of the late 1980’s will be like7 Is there a movement toward a more agnostic student orientation, or is just the opposite true7 Van Wylen: I don’t really expect very significant changes between now and the late 1980's. We will always have students who have a mature, thoughtful commitment to the Christian faith and we will always have students who are thinking about it. evaluating their faith at this stage of life. We will always have some who have rejected it. I just don't think human nature changes that quickly You're asking this on Alumni Day and as I always do every year I'll meet with the class that graduated 50 years ago. And I so often enjoy hearing them talk because I find that 50 years ago they were not greatly different than the students of today Once and awhile you meet these people who come back for their 50th reunion, who. when they first come back will say to me, Why aren't you tougher with students7 Why don't they behave a little better7 Then they reminisce how they behaved and it's always an interesting contrast. They want me to be a little tougher with students today, but they really remember some of their pranks or things they did. so I take this and smile Every generation of students is at that stage of their own individual lives where they are separated from home, they are making their own decisions and they are going to make some mistakes, but if we can just help students to grow and mature and finally become people of dedication, of commitment and faith, to serve in their own time, that is what Hope is all about V S N’V4 V � ' by Ericka Peterson Bakers from the community and college gathered in the mid-fall for a full afternoon of Raku firing. The Raku Bake, a Japanese method of glazing pottery, was accompanied by hot apple cider for the observers. It was served in Raku mugs, made by the Ceramics class which the observers were allowed to take home as souvenirs of the event. The term Raku is derived from the Chinese character meaning enjoyment, pleasure, contentment. ease, which was the seal used by a dynasty of potters whose work over fourteen generations formed the central tradition of Raku. Traditional Japanese Raku ware incorporates a masterful command of asymetric balance in design, a highly developed tactile sensibility in appreciation of materials, and a virtuosity of decorative techniques into a unified whole, the overall effect of which is a spontaneously achieved finished work, characterized by the feeling of an intimate, transitory insubstantial play of shadows. All of this is in marked contrast to the rather austere monumentality of the work of most contemporary American potters, and the blending of those two influences seems certain to produce a vivifying effect in the ceramist's art in this country. The actual Raku firing process is basic and simple Bisque (once-fired) pots are decorated in the usual manner with stains, engobes. resists, or textural treatments. They are then glazed with low melting glazes such as lead, borax, or frit bases. The dry. glazed pot is seized with long-handled tongs and thrust directly into the preheated red hot kiln. It is allowed to remain there until the glaze melts, as observed through a peephole When the glaze has melted, the pot is quickly removed from the kiln with the tongs and placed, red hot. in a covered vessel containing combustable materials. This treatment is called reduction smoking, and is used to produce color subtleties. The pot may also be dropped directly into cold water for the purpose of creating an oxidized effect or to freeze the molten state of the glaze. Raku firing offers the potter many advantages over other firing techniques Some of these are simplicity, low-fire reduction, the resultant somewhat insulated body, and the spontaneous effects. Very important is the potter's attitude and involvement in the firing cycle. The intimacy and immediacy are never more deeply felt in any other ceramic process 46 3aku Bake Freezing the molten state ot the glaze. Audrey Veldman drops the vessel into cold water.

But the real reason I found our conversation such a delight relates to the old adage, Misery loves company. One may say that the '79 yearbook was difficult to get to the publishers. Yet the problems associated with the printing of the 1930 Milestone make the production of the '79 version appear about as demanding as putting out The Where of Hope College. Willy' Wickers first set foot on Hope's campus as a freshman sporting the appropriate beany in 1927. At Zeeland High School he was editor of the Zeeland Stepping Stone; his high school yearbook. If was only natural, then, that the class of '30 elect him to the editorship of the Milestone. In 1930 if was customary for the junior class to put out the yearbook completely on its own. The class elected the editor and the business manager at large, posts that were deemed quite prestigious at the time, and it was their duty to contract with a half a dozen companies for the production of the yearbook. The selling price of $2 would be sufficient to cover all of the expenses, if enough of the books were sold. But even a mediocre student of American History will recognize that 1930 was a year bearing particular significance. It was the year of the Great Depression. When the book came out in the fall, three months late, and even though it wos a monumental 350 page effort that was to receive the laurels of both students and alumni alike, no one could afford to buy it. Yet the contractors were out to collect, and even though some money trickled in, it was not enough. So Wickers and his business manager, Chester Meengs, found themselves in the financial doghouse to the tune of $3,000. Since the College was not responsible for the yearbook financially, Chester and Willy had to face the creditors alone. Willy turned to his Uncle John, who owned Wicker's Lumber in Zeeland. Uncle John, even though he was already hard pressed to pay his own employees during this time of depression, agreed to advance him the money. Said Wickers, I have the greatest appreciation for that uncle ... he was determined to get those companies off our backs. Although Uncle John came up with the $3,000, there was a catch; Willy had to work it off in the saw mill. My curse was the darn old sticker, says Wickers. The sticker was a side moulding sow that had a reputation for consistency; for consistently breaking down. Unloading the freight cars was considered a more desirable job than working the sticker and that was Willy's other duty at the mill. Chester Meengs, later to become the Rev. Chester Meengs of local familiarity, went back to the farm on which he tended the hogs. The pork was home canned and sold; a common practice in a time where neighbors would often get together to share a freshly butchered pig. Things now seemed to be going fairly well for Willy. Sure, he wouldn't be able to graduate with his class in 1930, I was forced to drop out of school for that darn yearbook, he said, but he could go back to school the following year. And how could he remain downhearted when his wife-to-be had asked him to the prestigious Blodgett Nursing School Rainbow Ball to be held at the Pantlind Hotel in Grand Rapids. Since Willy had the equipment immediately at his disposal, he took on the responsibility of constructing the wooden rainbows to be hung over the dance floor. On the day of the ball, Willy found himself hovering near the ceiling of the ballroom hanging up his decorative creations. His ladder was supported with two side braces. According to Mr. Wickers, One of those supports was cracked, like the pylon of a DC-10. When the leg broke, I was catapulted off the ladder and down 22 feet to the hardwood floor. The injury left him with no movement in his feet. He couldn't walk and as he said, never again expected to walk. Before the injury, the young Wickers had been offered a fellowship at Ohio State University to study chemistry. After the fall. Wickers said, I had to turn to things where I could sit down, so I turned to public relations work, like writing brochures. His career was now set, but in an entirely different direction than he had expected or was hoping for. Five years later, the University of Chicago began developing a department of neurosurgery; a relatively new field. To beef up the staff, the University brought in a brilliant young doctor from the east coast to head up the deportment. The doctor was in the process of experimenting with X-ray techniques, and through this revolutionary new process, the doctor discovered that Willy's lower spine had compacted. All thot had to be done was to relieve this pressure. Willy could walk again. While furiously taking all of this down on my National 500” stenographer's note pod, Mr. Wicker’s secretary came into the office with some letters for the boss to sign, We don't want to hold up the girls, he said to me. After quickly proofreading the secretary's work he said, Could you please change this, her mother spells if with on 'e'? I was impressed with the efficiency in which he picked these errors. Dr. Wickers, now Netherlands Consulate for Press and Cultural Affairs, is also secretory of the Board of Trustees. At the 48 Wickers commencement of the class of '79, Dr. Wickers received an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree. Yet, this noteworthy figure recalls a time when his actions were not alwoys so prestigious, A few of us guys had cars ... we used to pick up all the girls. Dr. Wickers was referring to a time when not everyone had easy transportation, yet he was blessed with an old Buick. Willard Wickers attended Hope when the enrollment was around 300 to 400 students and the tuition was approximately $50 a semester. There were two buildings then: Van Vleck and Voorhees, the latter of which was a girl's dormitory. As for Willy, he always had to commute. In spite of the fact that only about 350 students attended Hope, Wickers put out a yearbook that was close to twice the size of contemporary yearbooks. We were very ambitious, but we had great alumni interest. We paused again as the phone in the outer office rang, The secretaries hove all left, so I have to answer the phone myself. It was post business hours so I offered to come back again the next day. But Dr. Wickers insisted that I stay for I almost always work until six o'clock, he said. At this point in the interview, I no longer felt that I was in need of any pity for what I had previously thought was an almost endless job. We were discussing on era about which he felt most deeply, even sentimentally. One can directly or indirectly attribute all of the pitfalls of Dr. Wickers' tremendous story to the economic tragedy of the time. Banks were closed and people were out of work, as Wickers said, The demeaning part of it was that people were so dependent on central feeding stations, in the churches, at the firehouse . . . right down to the president of the bonk . . . there was just no money. He went on to say, You cannot begin to imagine what it was like ... to know what people went through . . . you would have to live through it to appreciate it. But Dr. Wickers feels that every student should attempt to gain an appreciation of the Depression years. College requirements would do well to include the literature of that incredible period in history. From the earnest look on his face, I knew he wasn't simply indulging in the self-pity that so many people who lived through the Depression have a tendency to do. He has no regrets, or no animosity for that period of time. He honestly believes that the Depression should be a case study for American education; it certainly was an education for him. I was convinced. But after leaving city hall at the end of the interview with this ex- Milestone editor, I could only be thankful that the only depression I had experienced in association with the yearbook was on the night of our final copy deadline. Dr. Willard Wickers: I thought I'd never walk again Wickers 49 an astonishing feat 50 Pi- itonnim Removal An impossible feat — the complete removal of radioactive plutonium, one of the most poisonous substances known, from the bodies of animals, has been achieved by scientists at Hope College. This unprecedented accomplishment includes equally successful treatment of poisoning from non-radioactive metals such os cadmium, which pose serious environmental and industrial hazards. As reported in the September 28 issue of Nature, the prestigious international science journal, Hope professors Jock Schubert and S. Krogh Derr, with support from the United States Deportment of Energy, applied o new treatment for metol poisons based on concepts developed previously by Dr. Schubert colled mixed ligand chelate (MIC) therapy. Mixed ligand chelate therapy opens a new era in the treatment of metal poisoning, according to Drs. Schubert and Derr. They also stress the importance of MIC formation in many areas of fundamental importance — the transport of metals from soils to food; the role of metals in health and disease; and the mechanism of cancer induction by radioactive isotopes. Serious environmental and industrial hozords associated with the releose of radioactive ond nonrodioactive metals are becoming an increasing threat to mankind and up to now there hove been no satisfactory treatments for metal poisoning, said Dr. Schubert. Professors Schubert (and Derr conduct tests on laboratory rats.) Our research to dote has resulted in hitherto unparalleled achievements using MIC treatment, namely complete removal of tissue deposits of plutonium and prevention of mortality in animals given lethal doses of cadmium. One component of the revolutionary new treatment includes salicylic acid, the active ingredient of aspirin. Current treatment for plutonium and other metol poisons utilizes molecules called chelating agents which seize and hold a metal ion in a clawlike grip (Chele from the Greek meaning claw). The stronger the grip, the more effectively the chelating agent removes metal from tissues. In mixed ligand chelate therapy a selected combination of two chelating agents are chosen so that both grip the same metal together forming a single unit. This results in an astonishing increase, sometimes in the trillions, in the strength with which the metal is held compared to chelating agents such as EDTA and DTPA which are currently used to treat people. Two of the most effective mixed ligand chelate systems tested by Drs. Schubert and Derr are combinations of EDTA plus salicylic acid for cadmium, and DTPA plus salicylic acid for plutonium. In one of their experiments, Drs. Schubert and Derr injected mice with a solution of a plutonium salt. Three days later they began treatment twice weekly by injecting the mice with a solution containing a mixture of DTPA plus salicylic acid. Within four weeks, all of the plutonium in the bone and liver had been removed and then eliminated in the urine and feces. This result has never been attained or approached by any other treatment. In experiments with non-rodioactive elements, mice were given 100% lethal doses of salts or metals such as cadmium, nickel, iron ond copper. The animals given currently-recommended chelating agents all died, while all those given ligand chelate treatment survived. With all area media m attendance.

I found myself m what they called the Sladtiches Lahresemmar — a seminary The choir was packed into a rather large classroom where what seemed like a thousand students packed in there with us The concert was really inspiring, and so was getting dressed in a room where the windows overlooked the city of Lucerne That's right mom. not at all like my room back home After Lucerne it was Feusisberg where we danced in the disco until the cows came home — literally Feusisberg is in the hills of Switzerland and a lot of the girls went up into the hills and became close friends with the cows — you know, the cows we'd see on Heidi the ones with the large bells around their necks. I think the girls liked the cows better than we male choirmembers — they sure got more attention than we did Okay. I know what you're thinking, that's the story of my life Then on to Innsbrook I remember sitting by a table in the cafe that overlooked the city when I noticed an outdoor wedding right next to our hotel. Not one to miss an opportunity, I took dozens of pictures of the ceremonies I'll show them to you when I get home It's probably the closest I'll ever come to a wedding, so I thought you might like a few candid shots Salzburg turned out to be the best time of all After visiting the city and fantasizing about the Sound of Music and Julie Andrews, about half of the choir patronized a quaint little outdoor cafe located in the higher parts of the city We were not the only choir at this establishment An all-male chorus was also there and they were singing songs in German Later, the choirmaster came over to our group and requested that we favor them with a few songs — so we did We kept singing back and forth Well mom. I've got to admit, we were m rare form and the other customers at the cafe went quite wild with appreciation The rest ol the night was spent listening to a twosome playing the accordion and baritone in real polka fashion The baritone player seemed to have little regard for harmony Two little kids. Manfred and Felix, roamed freely among us. even dancing the polka with one of the girls Let me tell you mom. I really felt like one of the natives that night — you know, a real festive feeling On into Germany, to Stuttgart and Essen We sang our best concert in Essen, perhaps because we were so inspired by the warmth of our host families. In Essen, my roommate and I each got a gift from Jorg. the man whose family we stayed with It was a coveted bottle of Schlosskelerei. a fine Rhine wine and the best I've ever tasted I'm bringing the wine home for Grandpa and Grandma's fiftieth wedding anniversary I'll have most favored grandson status after they taste this stuff Our final stop was Amsterdam We actually stayed in a quaint little berg called Benschop The people in Benschop were unbelievably hospitable Posters were scattered about the town heralding our arrival. We responded by presenting a Saturday evening concert in the town church It was classic Holland, mom, little canals all over the place, just like you used to show me in National Geographic Well, time to put a lid on this commumcado (postcard, mom). We ll be arriving at O'Hare International soon, so I have to get a stamp and mail this thing Of course.

Maintaining control over a group of students from 28 schools as far away as Midland, Mich, and as close as Holland is an unseemly task. But the objective of Model United Nations Director Kirk Hoopingarner and his staff in the spring of 79 was just that. According to Hoopingarner, The whole place just blew up on the issue of disarmament when a student representing Russia refused to step down from the microphone after the allotted time for speaking was exhausted. We knew it would be an explosive issue, said Hoopingarner In fact, there were two issues or resolutions to be discussed at this year's Model U.N.: disarmament and the law of the sea. The resolutions were drafted by the Model U.N. staff Students of all kinds participate in the event including debate teams, members of student government and world politics, social studies and civics classes. High Schools may enter for a single fee of $5. When a school sends in an application to participate in the event, it includes a list of six countries it would prefer to represent. Schools need at least four students to represent a country and some schools bring as many as 32 students to the general assembly. The U.N. agenda included two security council sessions of 15 countries each on Thursday of Model U.N. week. Schools sent their best 2 students to these meetings where they were confronted with crisis situations simulated by members of the Model U.N. staff This year's crises: Viet Nam's invasion into Cambodia and the revolt of the Zimbabwe in Rhodesia. On Friday, all of the world representatives gathered in the main theatre of the De Witt Cultural Center to debate the resolutions, but first. Micolae Mica, a political affairs advisor to secretary-general of the U.N. Kurt Waldheim, delivered the keynote address. Then, the debate began. Countries gain recognition from the parliamentarian and presiding officers by raising their home-nation placards. Once a country has secured this recognition, its representatives may debate the resolution and offer an amendment to it. Communication is maintained during the general assembly through the use of Hope student volunteers acting as pages. Representatives for their respective countries may speak with other representatives through the use of memos that are passed along through the pages. Notes of communication may also be forwarded to the Model U.N. staff The staff, in closed caucus, decides on three amendments to each resolution, one from each of three regions: the East, the West and the Third World. Says Hoopingarner. We have debate teams who try parliamentary moves to get more speaking time.” In an effort to keep control of this unruly high school mob, Hoopingarner and his staff met throughout the fall term to lay out the rules for conduct at the Model U.N. A considerable amount of power is vested in the presiders who have rather arbitrary control of the general assembly . this is to prevent the chaos we often get with high schools, the only way one can speak is to be recognized, and to be recognized you must raise your placard. We don’t want this to turn into a battle of semantics. We don't want to become babysitters in this program . .. the key to success is control. Schools are judged on the basis of certain rhetorical skills with the particular emphasis on the question of how well a school or group of students within a school represents a country. High schools are also rated on how they deal with the two resolutions. Judges at the 1979 session were Dr. Larry Penrose, senior Mike Engelhardt, Dr. Renze Hoeksema and geology's Dr. Tim Hulst who specifically observed the discussion on the law of the sea. In the case of the vituperative Russian representative, the delegate was recognized by the presiding officer, yet, when his time limit had expired, he refused to sit down. As a result, the entire assembly joined in with name calling and progressively louder cries of discontent. After several minutes of complete pandemonium, the delegate chose to sit down, but not until the color in every delegate's face was a crimson red. His ploy was frowned upon by the judges, but Hoopingarner had to admit. Students get into this to such an extent that they actually become citizens of the country they represent. I returned to the assembly from a private meeting and found dozens of notes from delegations expressing their desire to have the Russian delegate kicked out of the assembly, yet even though the delegate, in his incessant Chinese antagonism, was out of order, he was probably representing Russia very well. � odei UN 55 tunes, flicks 56 The Flow 9S and lingo The 1 Albums September Grease Soundtrack Don't Look Back Boston October Don't Look Back Boston Grease Soundtrack November Living in the USA.

The title refers to the popular myth concerning what would happen if a nuclear power plant lost the coolant to its blistering hot uranium core and burned through the floor, into the earth, and on to China. The flick involves a television news team — Reporter Jane Fonda and Cameraman Michael Douglas — who take a routine tour of a nuclear power plant. While observing engineer Jack Lemmon in the control room, everything falls apart and complete pandemonium reigns. Douglas manages to sneak some from-the-hip footage of the crisis, but is not permitted to show the reel at the news station because the plant's public relations man has convinced the news director that nothing really happened. Douglas, and later. Fonda smell a rat and apprehensively decide to investigate the mishap; on their own. While Douglas and Fonda are getting their danders up. owners of the disabled utility put the plant back on the line in what Lemmon believes to be a recklessly quick manner It is then that he discovers that the contractors who built the plant have falsified various safety certificates, more specifically, they have duplicated the radiograms of one weld on the cooling loop of the reactor pretending to have radiographed all of them Lemmon discovers this in an incredibly tense moment in the story. Upon seeing that the characteristics of one transparency are precisely identical with the others, his face depicts total terror in a most convincing manner. But even as Lemmon is discovering the fraudulent radiograms, the contractor is getting on to him. The result is attempted murder in an effort to prevent the introduction of the falsified documents at a hearing for their newest nuclear installation. Lemmon singlehandedly grabs control of the plant and intends to tell all to the television cameras focused in on him through the observation deck. But not so fast. says the big time contractor. On the grounds that he is a lunatic, the authorities send in a SWAT team while Lemmon's colleagues purposely foul up the reactor to distract him. Exit one actor Lemmon in a storm of bullets, his story and his presentation of the damning evidence unrevealed. It's yet another triumph for technology.

The animals of the story are the residents of Delta House, the campus' absolute worst representatives of fraternity life, or best, depending how one looks at it In the plot, the dean of Faber College, played to the heights of disgust by pizza-faced” John Vernon, sets as his life goal to shut down this disreputable frat house. Once finding success in this ambition, the Dean's homecoming parade is decimated by the disgruntled cast-offs. The movie includes such scenes as the rushing, pledging and blackballing activities of two seemingly polar fraternities; the clean-out all-Americans on the one hand and the drunken, filthy, 1.2 G.P A.-types on the other. The irony of the movie seems to be the immergence of the inhabitants of Delta House as the heroes, while their all-around-good-guys rival fraternity prove to be corrupt and repulsively prima dona. The cast includes Stephen Furst as the class blimp, Thomas Hulce as the class wimp. Karen Allen the sexy animal house girl, and John Belushi, who. through his excesses and abominable idiosyncracies, steals the show. Belushi and Co. in Animal House Other flick favorites include The Deer Hunter, an incredibly violent, three hour saga about Viet Nam starring Robert De Niro and Christopher Walken; Hardcore, a movie directed and written by Calvin College student and Grand Rapids native.

Since 1970. with the exception of 1975 when Kalamazoo shared the title with Calvin, either Hope or Calvin have won or shared the league title. It looked like Hope may have been able to repeat as the MIAA champion in ‘78 until Calvin dealt them a blow by defeating them 5-1 Hope came back to tie Calvin in their second meeting, but it was too late, as Calvin remained undefeated throughout the rest of the season to take their seventh title in nine years. The difference between Calvin and Hope was in scoring power. Calvin's top three combined to score 25 goals and 19 assists for a total of 75 points. Jaun Ramirez of Hope tied for fifth in individual scoring honors with 18 total points. Junior Gary Hutchins of Flint. Mich, was elected most valuable player while Gordon Herwig. a sophomore from Fairlawn. N.J. was chosen most improved. Herwig and Hutchins, along with junior Jim DeJulio of Albany. N Y. will be the tri-captains for 1979. The 1978 All-MIAA Soccer team featured two Hope players. Ramirez was selected as a midfielder to the all- league squad while MVP Hutchins received a berth on the prestigious team as a fullback. Scoring 31 career goals.

The home course for Hope golfers is the Clearbrook Country Club located in Saugatuck. Mich. The course is known as one of the most demanding in Western Michigan. The 18th hole, for example, features a deep out-of-bounds woods to the left, a pond to the right, and a meandering stream crossing the fairway in the prime distance the average golfer can expect to drive the ball. What this leaves is a narrow strip of grass for the golfer to drive, or. if he is a gambler, he can attempt to out-distance the stream — a feat that would demand a perfect drive. Hope ran up a 46 point total in 1978 good for third place in the MIAA behind Olivet and Albion. Each team competing for the MIAA conference championship competes in seven conference meets, one hosted by each member school during the regular season. The championship is awarded to the team finishing with the most cumulative points based on a point system in which 12 points are awarded for first place, ten for second, etc . down to zero for seventh place in each conference meet. In the seven conference tournaments. Hope placed second twice, fourth four times and last once Junior Lou Czanko from Grand Rapids was voted most valuable player by his teammates for the third year straight.

J. William Grice, chairman of the N C A A regional selection committee said. The only chance Hope had for being considered was if either Baldwm-Wallace or Wittenberg had lost ' Grice, a Cleveland. Ohio native and athletic director at Case Western Reserve University went on to say. When they tied, and because both were undefeated, there was little we could do but recommend both for post-season play In that crucial game. Wittenberg came from behind in the final nine seconds to score a touchdown and pull within one point of Baldwm-Wallace. 17-16. After declaring a time out. the Wittenberg staff, headed by Coach Dave Maurer considered the post-season stakes and elected to go for the tie Grice said his committee, prior to Saturday s game, was preparing to recommend the University of Dayton, the winner of the Wittenberg Baldwm-Wallace game and either Hope or Wabash Should the Wittenberg-Baidwm-Wallace game had been decisive. Hope was the favorite to get the tournament nod We were leaning toward Hope because of their strong finish, especially on defense. Grice said Instead, Wittenberg and Baldwin-Wallace were chosen to represent the north region which consists of teams from Illinois. Indiana. Michigan and Wisconsin. So once again the tie game was just adequate to sour an otherwise sweet season But the year, on the whole left no regrets with Ray Smith.

The transition could do nothing but improve team confidence, and it showed, as the squad had another winning season. Hope finished fourth in the MIAA with a three win. three loss record. A successful season can generally be attributed to several major factors. And three of those factors were given due consideration by their teammates. Senior Cheryl Burke of Cedar Rapids. Iowa, and junior Jos Mand of Dublin. Ohio were elected co-most valuable players on the squad while Tammy Schuiling of Grand Rapids was selected most improved Mand was also the pick to captain the 79 team. 76 Volleyball Crouched and ready Sheryl Israel looks lor service FINAL W L Adrian 6 0 Calvin 5 1 Olivet 3 2 Hope 3 3 Kazoo 3 3 Alma 1 5 Albion 0 6 FRONT ROW (from left to right) S Israel K Schulte.

Wrestling subjects its combatants to three rounds of total strain. The sport becomes that much more demanding for teams in the M.I.A.A., including Hope, who have to compete with perennial conference powerhouse Olivet. Says Coach George Kraft, The name of the game in college athletics is recruiting. Olivet has built up a reputation ... (they) have much depth and they work on it. Much credit goes to the coach (Jare Klein). Hope lost to Olivet this year and finished fifth in the M.l.A.A. league race. Most valuable wrestler for the Hope matmen was Mike Sutton who was also elected team captain for the 79-80 season. Sutton, a junior from Shelby. Mich., qualified for the NCAA Division III wrestling championships by winning the gold medal in the MIAA tournament at 158 lbs. Having only been pinned once in his collegiate career. Mike finished the season winning 14 out of 20 contests. Hope's outstanding wrestler award went to both Mike Sutton and Pete White from Northbrook. III. The 79-80 season will see some changes in Hope's wrestling program. Coach Kraft will make room on the wrestling staff for Bruce Harrington, a 24 year old Holland High wrestler and captain of the Michigan State Spartan wrestlers in his junior year. Bruce wrestled at 142 lbs. According to Kraft. Bruce is an outstanding wrestler. He will be able to get on the mat and show them the moves. We're hoping that having a young coach will help things turn the corner.. . things will be looking up. Applying the cradle.

Pattnot is really experienced, our morale was high cause we knew that what we were working with was small in number, so we had a lot of fun. The man Bruce Webster is referring to is rookie Hope swimming coach John Pattnot. Pattnot had to work with a team that did not have the benefit of a year’s previous experience. Despite such odds, both the men and women had respectable seasons. Paced by Dave Moored, the men's swimming team placed fifth out of 6 teams in the MIAA Moored, a Grandville. Mich, freshman, won membership to the All-Conference team. In February, in a league match-up with perennial conference champion. Kalamazoo. Moored set a Kalamazoo College pool record in the 1,000 yard freestyle. Moored went on to set an MIAA record at the league meet in the 500 yard freestyle event, swimming the distance in 4:55.75. Dave also got the nod from his peers as Hope's most valuable swimmer. For an inaugural season, the women’s team put out a phenomenal performance in '78-79 finishing third in the league with a three win. two loss record. Although the team voted the entire team as most valuable. Lynn Bute, a freshman from Lincolnshire. III., was crowned league champion in the one-meter diving competition. Hope was certainly not wanting for swimming facilities and MIAA schools know it. Not only was the 1979 men's MIAA conference meet held in the Kresge Natatorium, but the MIAA has the Kresge Pool picked for the '79-80 women's championships. Says Webster. We really have a good outlook because we have the facilities to attract.” 80 Swimming m No false start here as Hope sw mmers break in the new pool.

Van Wieren's optimism turned to disillusionment As Van Wieren explains. When we started we were bursting with potential We didn't achieve it due to certain circumstances constantly wondering who our ball club was going to be What Van Wieren was referring to was the turnover of team personnel throughout the season The youth of the squad, however, may be cause for a winning season next year According to the coach. From the standpoint of youngness, it was a real transition But the younger players 'will become even stronger performers in the years ahead, so there is real promise here there is a wonderful nucleus of people coming back to build a program and Coach Van Wieren has done much toward building the basketball program here at Hope '' Coach Afman went on to analyze the year and his junior varsity team, I had a terrific year with the team The record was not indicative of the kind of year we had There was a real closeness and the lun we had together is what sports is all about the highlight in drawing the group together was Christmas vacation we ate together, practiced together and went out together Captains Matt (Weil) and Rick (?) did a great job in being responsible to the team really good |Ob of bringing everyone together Mark Howard didn't play much but gave 100% all the time. He did so much for the team with his continuous support Afman also enjoyed being on campus this year because, in his words.

We are there to be precise, do a job and have fun too . . . laughing is important and we are also a very important part of the school .a challenge, but we enjoy it. So said Kathy Buttons, three year cheerleader from Grand Rapids, Mich, and captain of the 78-79 squad. Cheerleader prospectives tryout in the spring following the basketball season 35-40 men and women typically try out, and. as a result of a change in the last two years, freshmen may try out in the fall to participate in basketball cheerleading. Six men made the squad for 1980 and will be ready for the 79 football season, but for Kathy Buttons. That’s great as long as numbers don’t get too large to work Cheerleading with.” Cheerleaders are selected on the basis of several point designated categories: enthusiasm, eye contact, appearance, how well a cheer is performed, three kinds of mounts; mini-tramp work, chanting and floor jumps. Cheerleading aspirants are also personally interviewed by Coach Maxine De Bruyn. De Bruyn designates three judges for the three hour, one day tryout session before which there is a two week clinic. Here, the veterans teach the new material to those trying out The new” group starts practice in the summer for football and by fall, all cheers have been originated. A day is set aside each year for a high school cheerleading clinic. Letters are mailed to all Michigan high schools inviting them to the college. Hope cheerleaders are involved in a large share of the organizational work. Someone plans mounts, chants and pom-poms; participants rotate through these three sections The high schoolers are also taught a cheer by the Hope cheerleaders in the morning Later in the afternoon, they compete amongst themselves executing their new cheer and an original cheer. Dozens of trophies are awarded to both varsity and junior varsity squads. According to Buttons. We try to give something for everybody that participated. In the voting by fellow cheerleaders.

Really pleased with the season. For the first time we had a winning season One or two games we dominated and the others were close . . which was encouraging. Coach Anne Irwin's basketball squad may have finished with a 2 and 4 record in the MIAA. but they logged 11 wins to 10 losses on the entire season. Loaded with potential just may be a gross understatement for next year as. . . we usually get inconsistency with freshmen cause of the lack of seasoning but. not this year. We started four freshmen and one sophomore in the State Tournament. Playing their home games in the Dow Center, the women finally had the facilities to match their potential Junior Anne Mulder from St. Petersburg. Florida was elected captain of the '79-80 team and Most Improved Player for'78-79. Lora Hanson, a freshman from Harrisonburg. Virginia captured the most valuable player while leading the MIAA in free-throw shooting accuracy. Lora shot 86% (12 of 14) in six league games. She also finished fifth in the individual scoring race, averaging 15 points per game and was eighth in field goal shooting at 45% (39 of 87). As a parenthetical note.

Coach M Grondin On Target Archery may be the most little known of all sports at Hope Vet it may also be the most refreshingly unique. The sport is not one of endurance, speed or brute strength; but a sport of precision. Precision is the name of the game; from the standards which must be followed and the execution of the skills of archery, to what it takes to win in a competitive environment The standards for competition at Hope are dictated by the National Archery Association The top four archers will shoot for each team at a distance of 18 meters from the target The target is a multicolored series of concentric circles Each ring is split in half and carries a variety of point values. A salvo of three arrows are shot with 60 shots being taken in the course of a meet 600 is a perfect score and the top three scorers from each team are counted toward determining a winner Hope finished third in the MIAA on the strength of MVP Robin Mitsos and most improved archer Diane Thomas, next year’s team captain Presently, meets are held outdoors at Van Raalte field. Next year, the squad will take their meets into the Dow Center. 11 girls came out for the '79 team. Mary Grondin, team coach said. You don't have to know how to shoot to try out for the team. No men may try out because this is a woman's sport according to Grondin T raining primarily involves anything that develops arm and shoulder muscles. When asked what she liked and disliked about the present archery program at Hope Grondin said. I'd like to see archery as a winter sport because we miss other collegiate meets since it's a spring sport. Other schools conduct part of their season in the winter Since no pre-season meets are allowed in the MIAA. it is difficult for Hope archers to get geared up for the league race, according to Grondin. Archery 91 92 Track Stretching the Record Books After taking three of their four league meets, the Hope Women's track team ran into some stiff competition at the '79 MIAA Field Day. Hope was in the second spot going into the event, but placed behind Calvin. Albion and Alma at the Field Day. dropping their seasonal finish to fourth place Calvin dominated the league, taking 11 of 14 Field Day events. Hope. Albion, and Alma had all they could do to scramble for the few remaining points after Calvin claimed their share The team did have a respectable year nonetheless, thanks, in part, to a couple of extraordinary individual efforts Freshman Susan Williams of Ann Arbor. Mich., captured the gold medal in the discus event of the MIAA women's track and field meet, held at Albion College Williams had a winning throw of 99 ft. topping her nearest competitor by nearly six feet Earlier in the season. Williams established a new Hope record in the discus with a similar throw of 99 feet Debbie Bussema, a junior from Parchment, set a new Hope women’s track record in the 100-yard dash on April 14. of'79 Debbie took first place in a double-dual meet against Calvin and Albion Colleges with a time of 11.9 The previous Hope record in that event was 12 9 FRONT ROW (from lelt to right) M Beuker.

Mich., captured most valuable player honors. Posting a 15-3 singles record. DeWeert was the first Hope tennis team member to be invited to the NCAA Division III National tournament in a decade. Also of Zeeland, sophomore Doug Ruch was elected captain of Hope men's tennis in 1980. Recruitment is a very important aspect of team tennis. Green has been successful in past years luring some good talent into Hope, but Kalamazoo, winner of the MIAA for the past 38 years continues to draw the top tennis players by offering scholarships. Consequently, the battle in men's tennis is traditionally for second place. But Green says he'll be ready, Two excellent kids are coming next year and 5 out of 7 team members were freshmen. FINAL 1.

If we had won the second game with Adrian, we would have taken the championship But our 2 games against Calvin and our first game against Adrian were super games. said Coach Anne Irwin And Rietberg adds. There was no reason why we shouldn't have beaten them. (Adrian). Softball at Hope enjoyed a surge of popularity in those who wanted to participate in 1979 and that paid off in acquiring some top talent. According to Irwin. This year 25 girls tried out; the first time I had to cut. This made the team stronger because the pressure was on during tryouts. Thus, the girls had really good skills. Concerning the prospects for 1980 Irwin said. I sent out letters (200) to area coaches. There are women coming who are both skilled in softball and basketball. That's good news for the entire women's sports program. Next year Gloria Becksford, who helped out with the squad this year, will coach the girls. Irwin will dedicate herself to the women's athletic directorship. Leaving the softball team was not easy for Coach Irwin, I have mixed feelings about not coaching softball... I enjoyed working with them so much that I don't want to leave the team But it will be better for my directorship responsibilities that I coach field hockey in the spring when the part-time coaches are there.

Hope had a hand in who would win the conference title right down to the final days of the conference match Coach Glenn Brewer seemed to feel good about the outcome. We had to be pleased, we moved up 2 notches in 2 years. The success of the season came about with the aid of several individual competitors. Freshman Mark Northuisof Grand Haven. Mich , and senior Steve Hulst of Holland, Mich . both qualified for the nationals by competing in a last chance meet at North Central College in Naperville. III. Northuis qualified in the 300 meter steeplechase, an event he had never competed in before, by jumping hurdles and water barriers on the course m 9:22 0. three second ahead of the national qualifying time of 9:25 0. Hulst nosed into the nationals by running the halfmile run in 1:53 0. precisely the national standard Hulst was later voted most valuable player by his teammates and co-captain of the 1980 squad along with Jeff Cordes. a junior from Oregon. Ill Freshman Dave Visscher of Dearborn. Mich,, captured the 880 yard run at the indoor track meet at Ferris State College and at the MIAA field day. Hope has 17 letter winners returning in '80 and Coach Brewer pegs them as a contender for the MIAA title, Albion and Calvin (who finished ahead of Hope in 1979) will be tough again Both have many returning good performers I'm not sure how the newcomers will be dispersed over the three schools (Hope.

S Vanden Brink, P Lelferts 100 Tennis Forty — Loveless To play, or not to play; that was the question. No doubt in anyone's mind, it was a superlative year for the women's tennis team. At the end of the dual meet season. Hope had won five out of their six matches, good for a first place tie with Kalamazoo heading into the league tournament. But although Hope may have been heading into the league tournament, they never arrived except to voice their feeling that they'd rather be elsewhere. Here's what happened Throughout the year. Hope's third singles position was left open to challenge matches for those not playing first and second singles In the MIAA meeting, before the league tournament. Kalamazoo coach Tisch Loveless protested the lineup, accusing the Hope squad of 'stacking.' To stack simply means that the competitors are not playing in the proper position relative to talent. For example, an unstacked lineup will feature the best player at first, the second best player at second and so on. In a stacked lineup, as Loveless accused Hope of using, the better players are placed at lower positions, thereby securing those points. Loveless was able to get her way at the meeting and Hope Coach Don Dickenson was requested to rearrange the lineup with the effect that the players at the lower levels all move up one notch and face stiffer competition The Hope women found this to be abominably unfair and at a team meeting, the morning before the tournament, voted to pull out The move was not looked upon too favorably by Hope officials and the girls were requested to proceed to the tournament and compete. This they did. but upon arrival in Kalamazoo at 1:00 PM, tournament director Loveless would only allow Hope's first and second players to play. The girls called another caucus and in a team vote, in the absence of Coach Dickenson, decided to call it a day and head back to Holland. The result barely needs mentioning. Hope received zero points in a tournament they were favored to dominate, and even though they boasted of a 5 win. 1 loss record for the dual meet season, the zero point total dropped them to fourth place behind Kalamazoo. Albion, and Calvin who had 18 points apiece in the league tournament A disappointing conclusion to a phenomenal season Hope's best. Jane Decker was perhaps the most disappointed, not getting the opportunity to compete, but her disappointment was somewhat mollified by her teammates who voted her most valuable player for the season.

One year later, it will be the end of Dr. D. Ivan Dykstra s legendary stay at Hope. Is he retiring? Hardly. Just setting aside some time to think, to research, to write. Indeed, Dr. Dykstra s residency at Hope may have only been an extended internship in preparation for a literary career. Academics 105 Natural and Social Sciences “I I i was a major goal lhai came to frui- tion. says Dr. Sheldon Wettack. Dean of the Natural and Social Sciences. Wettack is referring to the new engineering program at Hope. I he program has been in the plan- ning stages for several years, but in the '79 spring semester, the physics department finally offered undergraduate engineering courses. We wanted the student to have engi- neering experience in the firstSthree years ... to give them a taste of n. Wettack reports that under the three-two program, where the student takes three years of a lib- eral arts curriculum and then transfers to another school for two years of studies in engineering, the student was not receiving any contact with engineering until he trans- ferred. There is a struggle initially with adjusting to a totally new environment where suddenly all you arc doing is engineer- ing. said Wettack. Dr. Wettack discussed a fur- ther motive for the shift toward a taste of engineering during the liberal arts years. People who hire engineers are much more concerned with breadth of learning. A third motive for the change also involves a breadth of learning, but. for the science student. Says Wettack. We have a good record of produc- ing the basic science student, many of these students end up in industry working with engi- neers. This seems to imply that these engineering courses arc in no way exclusive in their class membership. In fact. One of our visions for this is for students who are necessar- ily going into engineering that now have an opportunity to take these courses.” Wettack said. Other areas of concern in the natural and social sciences for Dr Wettack is the department of econom- ics and business administration. I he area is growing at a phenomenal rate. According to Wettack. This is a very large section with high student interest. Wettack was also very pleased with the movement into the Dow Center. A goal of the college IS to keep ulili mg that facility as effectively as possible. he says. What is dif- ficult to conceptualize concerning the phys- ical education department is that it is now grouped with the natural and social sci- ences and therefore falls under Dr. Wet- tack's jurisdiction. In the realm of the natural sciences. Dr. Wettack reports one distinct problem that the college has been forced to deal with. I hat problem involves keeping up with the need to replace highly expensive equip- ment According to Dr. Wettack. Much of what we got ten years ago is about dead. The sciences are one of the national fron- trunners in the winning of grant monies. Yet. this docs little to alleviate the problem, because grants arc generally provided to initiate new research projects. Says Wet- tack. It is much tougher to replace his instrumentation, than to get it new. But. he goes on to say. I have to feel pleased, about a year ago we had a real problem staring us in the face and yet we came up with the needed replacements ... the col- lege recognizes this problem and has been funncling money toward replacement costs. But big projects take big money and therefore the sciences continue to search out grants for this purpose. Fortunately. in the past year, the biology and chemistry department have received the grant monies for these much needed replacements. Included in the list of anti- quated equipment is a physiograph. liquid chromatograph and an ultra centrifuge: all of which were updated in '78-79. I lie natural and social sciences have also been participating in some creative teaching methods. I he computer science department has initiated a modular computer science introductory course that facilitates the instruction of a large group of students w ith heterogeneous interests. The 'guts' of the course was developed by professors Whit- tle. Derschem and [.eland. One of the real coups of the year was the arrival of three National Science Founda- tion grants. said Wettack. The money is used to support the research projects of 22 students. These students applied for the funds on an individual basis through the presentation to the N.S.F. of detailed descriptions of their research proposals. Hope was the only undergraduate school in the nation to receive three of these grants. Also from the N.S.F.: a S 190.000.00 grant in association w ith the C A I S I program to institute a more directed effort toward instructing the student in problem solving. The money has been directed toward faculty workshops and Dr. Robert Reinking's study in land use. As Dean of the Natural and Social Sciences. Dr. Wettack heads up one of the two main academic divisions at Hope. In past years, the division was four-fold. In addition to Wet- tack: Deans Malcolm. Nycn- huisand Gran berg handled the respective divisions. Now that the college has changed over to the provostdean system. Dr. Wettack is forced to cut back his teaching efforts to that of only a segment of a spring course in chemistry. Says Wet- tack. With only two deans, the time commitments are dif- ferent ... more demanding. Wettack admits that he is at a disadvantage being located away from many of the social sciences. He says. They are located in several different places so I don't always bump into them. Wettack points out that this makes it a little harder to keep up that daily contact that can be important with communication but he also asserts that the geographic diffi- culties are not a significant problem because. When a faculty member in the social sciences needs to see me. he or she w ill still come over to Peale to see me. What Wettack particularly enjoyed about the '78-79 academic year was the excellent addition of new faculty members. I'm always pleased with the new faculty, notably Seymour.

According to Dr. Don Cronkite. a new addition to the department from the I niversity of Redlands in Califor- nia. prerecorded tapes of various physi- ological functions can be purchased for the classroom. But. says Cronkite. ... they are generally worthless ... we’re better off making them ourselves. Marty Burg, a junior from Roslyn. Penn.. Sue Norburv. a Fairport.

Apparently, the organism reacts m various ways to different light inten- sities. yet just how the paramccium senses light remains a mystery. Dr. Cronkite found his research aspi- rations frustrated at his previous loca- tion and states. “... there was just no research available, so I really enjoy it here at Hope.

Mike Welch and Gale Easton dissect. rchitects of the biology core requirements have their sights set on more flexibility for the student of biol- ogy. According to Dr. Eldon Greij. chairman of the department, the previ- ous three semester introductory course sequence has been condensed into a one year series. The move will give the biology major more time and therefore more options in advanced course selec- tion. The year was a progressive one for the biology department, says Greij. ... good year for the department, lots of activity ... faculty are enthusiastic and so arc the students. The enthusi- asm may be a result of the addition of some exciting new instruments to the first floor Peale Science Center labora- tories. Hie department acquired a Sorvall OTD-50 ultra centrifuge in the aca- demic year '78-79. A centrifuge is an instrument that rotates at high speeds forcing a solid to precipitate or sepa- rate from solution. T he OTD-50 is not only a centrifuge, but it operates at extremely high speeds, (up to 27.000 rounds per minute). Hope biologists now have the capa- bility of isolating what they call the S-9 fraction of the liver. It is this fraction that may contain pesticides that are cancerous, and it metabolizes other substances that are mutagenic. By iso- lating the S-9 frac- tion of laboratory rat and mice livers, the biologist can effectively meta- bolize other poten- tially mutagenic substances in a test tube. With functions very similar to an electrocardiograph, the biology depart- ment also obtained a new physiograph. The physiograph is an instrument that graphically records a multitude of bod- ily functions, from heart rate to the electric pulse gen- erated by muscle tissue. Hope already owns one physiograph. but the new model has the added conven- ience of graphically recording on clear The target audience is of high school age hut Dr. Ncilson points out that the movie will he valuable for alumni Psychology's Professor Motif! and Don Pension experiment.

Sync-sound is a film shooting method where --------------- actual sounds are recorded along with the film footage. Many schools simply dub in some music and a professional narrator. Ncilson asserts that Hope sorely needs a film of this nature: it has been 15 years since the production of a simi- lar film.

As chairman of the department in 1978- 79. I)r Michail Doyle certainly believes in the dignity of Mope College chemistry. And understandably so. the department is rated at. or near the lop in virtually every cate- gory. Hope chemistry is ranked number one in baccalaureate degree origin of Ph.D. chem- ists nationwide while also setting the pace for private liberal arts colleges in the num- bei of articles accepted for publication in American Chemical Society journals: num- ber two m the number of all publications put out by the faculty. I he department received the highest number of grants and more money from the National Science I oundation than any other school. In fact. Hope's total equip- ment and research grant monies exceeds any other institution by at least $150.000 and according to Dr. Doyle, the gap is rap- idly widening. In the fall of 78. Hope became the only four-year college in the country to possess a Varian I I-80A nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer: a piece of equipment carry- ing a value of nearly $100.000. The instru- mentation is computer controlled and pro- vides analyses for approximately 50 nonra- dioactive chemical nuclei.

The equipment enables Hope scientists to separate organic com- pounds by passing them through a liquid and solid phase. The speed by which the component passes through these phases aids in the identification of the compound. According to Dr. Doyle, several members of the chemistry faculty are making research plans for the use of these systems. Dr. Irwin Brink is planning on utilizing liquid chromotography for research involv- ing PCB contamination m Lake Macatawa while Dr. Rodney Boyer is presently outlin- ing his plans for research in the identifica- tion of fatty acids in brain tissue. A new addition to the department. Dr. Michael D. Seymour, an analytical chemist from the University of Arizona, is prepar- ing a research agenda using liquid chromo- tography for the analysis of polynuclear aromatic contaminants: namely, gasseous waste produced as a by-product of burning fossil fuels. On the community level. Hope chemistry faculty conducted a seminar in the early summer of '79 for nearly 40 midwest area high school chemistry teachers. The pro- gram. under the direction of Dr. Donald Williams was designed to brush up second- ary school teachers on general chemical principles. The participants came from any- where within a 5(M mile radius of the col- lege. Instructional excellence in the chemisty department can be seen in the scholarly activity of its students. Dr Doyle states that at least 1$ students each year see their work published. Also, one student each year receives a National Science Foundation grant.

NTS On May 4 and 5. senior math majors John Gibson and Carl l oren presented two of the four student papers at the annual meeting of the Michigan section of the Mathematical Association of America at the University of Detroit. Gibson and Torcn presented the results of research they conducted under the direc- tion of Dr. Flliol Tams. Both projects were related to a study of the mathematical ideas in the graphic works of the Dutch artist. M. C. Fscher (1898-1971). Fscher spent about 15 years of his life making drawings and woodcuts to illustrate an approach to infinity. Gibson used the Hope College Tektronix 4051 graphics computer to simulate Square Limit.” a 1964 woodcut by Fscher. The title of (iib- son's talk was An Artistic Approach to Infinity Using the Tektronix 4051. Gibson resides in Waterford. Mich. Toren's talk was entitled Wallpaper Design: A Study of 2-D Crystal Structure. Many of Fscher's drawings illustrate how certain identical objects such as triangles can fill a rectangular region with no gaps and no overlapping to form periodic pat- terns. Toren wrote a computer program for the Tektronix graphics computer which can automatically generate period patterns. Toren is from Lansing. III. Professors Jay Folkert. Frank Sherburne and Flliol Lanis accompanied the students to the mathematics meetings which were attended by over 150 math professors from colleges and universities in Michigan. This work w ith the works of Fscher illus- trates how the math department is turning more toward application in the past year. The calculated art of Fscher is a pet project of Dr. Lanis who chairs the department. Dr. Tarns spent the month of May- exploring the Fxcher foundation in the Nether- lands.

Math 111 Computer Science Experience is necessary because of the rapidly changing nature of computer sci- ence. Today, the faculty is involved with the new run of small, inexpensive computers. “There is more computing power in my $650 system at home than in Hope's $120.000 system 10 years ago. said Der- shem. The professor believes the growing abundance of small computers is one rea- son why every student should get some exposure to computers. Small computers may become a roommate. erhaps the most active group at Hope in '78-79 was the computer science depart- ment. That could be easily noticed by talk- ing to the ebullient chairman of the depart- ment. Dr. Herbert Dershem who asserts. The creation of this department was gen- erated by student demand. The department may have been created by student enthusiasm many years ago. but Hope's computer scientists of today seem to be no less excited about this wide open field. I he departmental activity calendar was virtually plugged all year long. The year saw the introduction of a new course into the program with the aid of the National Science Foundation. The course is introductory in nature and is divided into three modules. Students from a broad area of interests may now design a program that suits their needs by selecting the type of module that represents their interests. Fac- ulty are called upon to teach individual modules, for example. Dr. Mulder of sociol- ogy handles data analysis. I he introductory course was so success- ful that the drop rate fell from last year’s 30° to only 5%. The approach is also going to receive feature coverage in Omni maga- zine. According to Dr. Dershem. the computer science major program has a strong empha- sis on experience. The approach seems to be unique as other small colleges are taking Hope's queue and using the Hope program as a model. Students arc called upon to participate in internships, in the summer and part-time. Interns work for Herman Miller. Donnelly Mirrors, the City of Holland and other soft- ware firms. The departmental theme of experience also carries for the faculty. In the summer. Professor Harvey Lcland works with Ford Motor Co. in an effort to. keep abreast of the industrial use of computers. Dershem spends his summer months in Oak Ridge. Tcnn. dealing with computer use in energy research. Steve Watson is dwarted by a bank of computing machinery at Notre Dame. Prof. Richard Brockmeier predicts that within five years, over 800 students will have computer terminals right in their dor- mitory rooms. He is referring to the rela- tively new- industry of small computers that are developing out of the popular TV games. Research in the computer science depart- ment has focused on the development of the small computer for elementary and junior high school use. Fac- ulty members presently con- duct Iday to 2 week small com- puter seminars in primary school classrooms. Their approach involves com- puter games including 20 questions and an exercise called in a cl libs where the student fills in the blanks of a story. As Dershem points out. computer science is an area where the job market will continue to grow. At the National Computer-Science Confer- ence in Dayton. Ohio where prospective employers take a look at interested stu- dents. the registration demonstrated that there were 12 jobs available to every 1 stu- dent that attended, up from a 10 to I ratio last year. Everyone always gels a job. said Dershem. Presently at Hope there are 50 probable or positive majors. In the class of '79 there were 6 majors, the class of '80 boasts of at least 16. Dershem points out that the com- puter science program is drawing students into Hope. Recently, many students have transferred to Hope to get into the program (4 in the class of '80). And Hope has done well in the competi- tive area of computer science, placing 5th among 25 teams in a Nov. 18 intercollegiate computer programming competition at Kent State University. Michigan State won the event as it has for the past 4 years. Each team is given 4 problems to solve with computer programs in 4 hours. The problems ranged from doing arithmetic in different bases to playing a quasi-bingo game on the computer. The team solving the most problems correctly was the winner. Michigan Slate was the only school to solve all 4 problems. Hope completed three and placed behind Purdue. Case Western Reserve and Ohio State. The members of the Hope team were Tom Rigterink of Hamilton. Mich.. David Boundy of Holland. Andy Birner from Greenbelt. Maryland and Ken Bekkering out of Hudsonvillc. Mich. The team was coached by Dr. Dershem. Hope also co-sponsored the first West Michigan Microcomputer Fair on April II at the Grand Rapids Junior College. Hope was one of five local colleges spon- soring the event. Professors Dershem. Leland. and Whittle made presentations at the fair in behalf of the Hope computer sci- 112 Electronics laboratory gives Mike Walters a chance to don a broad smile of quasi-contentment. ence department. Over 50 presentations focusing on microcomputer applications in business, school and the home were made at the event. Physics New engineering emphasis D rieports indicate that over 20 students are coming in the fall of '79 interested in pursuing a career in engineering. The department initiated an engineering pro- gram in the past academic year under the leadership of Hope physics newcomer Dr. Robert Norton. Norton, a stress analyst with the Jet Pro- pulsion Laboratory in Pasadena. Calif., worked on both Voyager I and Voyager 2. I he Voyager spacecraft were launched August 29 and September 5 of 1977 enroutc to )upiter. Saturn and beyond. I he space craft have already transmitted to earth spectacular pictures of Jupiter. Norton's responsibility at the Jet Propul- sion Laboratory was to assure that the 12- foot diameter antenna could withstand launch stress. The 100-pound antenna is the largest ever to be flown in the I'.S. space program. Norton's task was to determine, through computer simulation, the structural integ- rity of the antenna, its mount and a camera platform. While employed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. I)r. Norton was involved in stress on diverse equipment such as electric cat'. While pursuing his doctorate at the I niversity of Southern California, he did research on vibration response of a struc- ture to an earthquake. Concomitant with Norton's arrival on campus is a whole new emphasis on engi- neering in the physics department. I he objective of the new engineering courses is to expose the basic science student to the techniques, capabilities and limitations of engineers. Dr. Norton has excerpted parts of his analysis scheme on the Voyager antenna and put it into the Hope computer so his students can get a taste of engineer- ing. Norton maintains that, because of the breadth of the educational experience, the liberal arts curriculum provides ideal train- ing for the would-be engineer. Such a cut- riculum places the student in a better per- spective from which to view complex prob- lems. In addition to serving full-time Hope stu- dents. the new engineering courses are being offered to Holland area industry. I he present classes are already attended by local representatives from area manufactu- res. According to Dr. James Van Putten. chairman of the department. One of the most exciting things of the year was when the Voyager went by Jupiter and having someone here who designed part of n. Although Dr. Van Putten views Norton's arrival and his role in the Voyager space- craft program the most significant aspect of the year, the main thrust of student and fac- ulty research continued in association with the Van 17 Graaff accelerator. Over 2 students worked on the accelera- tor in tin ist year. The equipment, which in its ba form has long been a part of the physics epartment. accelerates a suba- tomic particle (a hydrogen proton) at extremely high speeds. Ihe accelerator itself carries a charge of 2’:. million volts. Physics 113 FRONT ROW (from led to right) N Dtrkse. R Pyle. K Van Duyne. S Oreweg; BACK ROW: Or B Richardson. Dr Cline, C Groendyk.

I he high speed particle then passes by a magnet. If the pro- ton is travelling at the appropriate speed it will make the turn” and bombard a target sample at the end of the lube. When the nucleus of the sample is hit by the proton, it gives off its own particles at various angles and intensities. I hese angles and intensities can then be measured and the sample identified. Dr Peter Jolivcttc is most extensively involved with this aspect of the accelerator. I)r. Bryant Hichwa of physics, with the assistance of chemistry's Dr. Michael Seymour, is conducting research with a rel- atively new 'arm'of the accelerator. Operat- ing on basically the same principle as above, the sample is characteristically ana- lyzed not by the particles that it releases, but by its X-ray radiation. Accelerator ana- lyses are ail done with the aid of the I lope College computer located directly upstairs from the accelerator laboratories. According to Van Putten. Hope is the only purely undergraduate school to have an accelerator of this kind. I lie physics department was one the recipients of the three National Science Foundation grants given to Hope in the past year Dr. Van Putten points out that these funds are distributed bv merit and geographically Grants that are awarded on ihe basis of merit are given first, implying that Hope's programs are highly meritori- ous. Dr. Hichwa was the recipient of the VS.I . grant for his planned research stud- ies m Mexico. Van Putten went on to say that all of the physics departmental research is done solely through grant monies. Ihe occupational placement of physics students at Hope is quite noteworthy . Last year, over 9Crf of Hope graduates with physics majors either gained acceptance into graduate school or were offered a job by the end of their final semester. Says Van Putten. I here’s a lot of opportunity there. Presently, the department has about 25 majors. Students get a taste of Student Leadership Boasting of the highest number of majors at Hope, the economics and business administration department continues to grow in student interest and activity. According to Dr. Barrie Richardson, chairman of the depart- ment. one in four 1979 graduates had a concentration in either business admin- istration or economics. Particularly noticeable, says Richardson, is the growth in the number of those inter- ested in accounting. Prof. Barry Wel- don was added to the department in the past year to beef up this aspect of the discipline. Says Richardson. It’s growing in number of active faculty, students have a good record of going on the graduate schools ... our rela- tionship with the business community is excellent. We have come a long way in seven years.” Also on the rise is the number of women looking for careers in manage- ment. The area of management occu- pied a prominent place on the depart- mental activity calendar. The depart- ment sent ten seniors involved in advanced management to a head-to- head seminar at the Marigold Lodge located on the north side of Lake Macatawa. Meeting with the students were ten top-level managers from the Herman Miller Company. All partici- pants were required to read certain texts before the seminar to facilitate discussion on a particular topic and author. I he overall theme of the conference was “Servant Leadership” with fea- tured quest lecturers addressing such topics as demography, the future of the free enterprize system. Japanese man- agement practices and more. The department also sent three stu- dents overseas in their Social Responsi- bilities Internship program. Bob Boeve. a senior from Hamilton. Mich., spent a semester in Bahrain. Norm Donker- sloot. a senior from Boyden, Iowa and past president of the Baker Scholars studied in Nepal and senior Scoot Har- low from took his internship in India. The applicants for the overseas pro- gram were all selected by Al Poppen. Poppen is Director of Resource Man- agement in charge of missions for the Reformed Church at their central headquarters in New York City. Also. Sue Boundy, a sophomore from Holland participated in research at Oak Ridge. Tenn. In fact, the entire internship program of the economic and business administration depart- ment involved over 50 students work- ing with local businesses and public- agencies. Visiting Lord Motor Company Inter- national. ten students travelled to Eng- land with I)r. Richardson in an effort to conduct a study in comparative management, while earlier, back in the U.S.. business students met in Dear- born. Mich., with Ford Motor Com- pany executive Alan Wear: internal auditor with the company. With the support of ODL of Zee- land. Mich., the department sponsored a lecture series entitled. Declining 114 Economics Geology A geology microscope proves a challenge to Mark Vander Muellen. Productivity: Analysis and Solutions. The series included three visiting lec- turers: a professor of banking and finance at Harvard University, the Director of Public Relations at Prince- ton and the Vice-President of the Work in America Institute. Drs. Warren A. Law. Albert Rees and Robert ager gave their presentations in the main theatre of the DeWilt Center. Elsewhere in the department. Dr. Robert Cline presented two papers studying the controversial Meadlee Amendment passed by Michigan vot- ers last year. Dr. Tim Jenks remains active as a consultant involved with microcomputers while Prof. Barry Wel- don continues as a tax consultant. Drs. Anthony Muiderman and Barrie Rich- ardson teamed up with sociology's Dr. Ron Mulder to complete a marketing survey of Rest Haven, a residential facility for the elderly that leaves its tenants to care for themselves as opposed to the nursing home approach in care for the elderly. According to Dr. Richardson, the department's credibility is constantis gaining. As I look at small liberal arts colleges that have business administra- tion and economics departments ... we run with the best of them. To cope with the ever-increasing popularity of business courses, the department hired Dr. Robin Clay from Northwestern College. Clay is a Phi Beta Kappa grad- uate out of Princeton University. '79 also saw the end of the George F. Baker f oundation funding. Baker Scholar funds have been given to Hope in the past years because Baker believes that prominent business lead- ers arise from liberal arts colleges. At Honors Convocation, evidencing the fact that the field of accounting is gaining popularity with women, the Award for Outstanding Accounting Students went to Kathy Booher. a jun- ior from Cape Coral. Fla., and Kathy Shiflet. a junior from Grand Blanc. Mich. Jeff DeVree. a senior from Grandvillc. Mich., was the Wall Street Journal Award recipient. Norm Donk- ersloot was given the Allan C. Kinney Memorial Award at the ‘79 commence- ment exercises. Pseudo-earthquakes The department gained possession of some key equipment that should increase their community involvement and exposure as well as their educa- tional capacities. Included in these new acquisitions is a miniature earthquake maker. A small steel plate is placed on the ground and struck with a sledge ham- mer. The vibrations from the blow pen- etrate downward to different layers where they are refracted and reflected. The vibrations are measured by a seis- mograph. This equipment allows Hope geologists to probe for wells in addition to gaining information about rock for- mations or stratafications. In addition to the new seismic equip- ment. the department purchased a resistivity unit. Electrodes are spaced a certain distance apart and electricity is passed between them. The moisture in the sediments draws the current down. How much moisture exists in the sedi- ment is determined by the conductivity or strength of the current passing from the first electrode to the second. Supplementing this equipment is a drill auger capable of sinking an one- hundred foot well. According to Dr. Tharin, the equipment will be available for community use. The Geology Department is also extensively involved in off campus excursions. The celebrated May term in Colorado enticed I I students to spend 3 weeks in Salida. Colorado. The program introduces the non-major to geology and includes a three-day pack trip into the high mountains. The course is a Hope Geology Department innovation and has spurred the Univer- sity of Michigan to model a similar course after it. Also headquartered in Salida. is the Geology Field Camp: a six week, six credit course for majors involving the study of glacial, desert and fluvial geo- morphology. The camp is located at the edge of the Upper Arkansas Valley in the Wet Mountains. This year, a half- dozen non-Hope students participated along with 9 I lope geology majors. Certainly it was no surprise to hear from Tharin that. Our program has a lot of field emphasis. Lor their performance in introduc- tory work throughout the '78-79 aca- demic year, two freshmen were inducted into the Ancient Order of the Trilobite? (the trilobite is a crea- ture that lived at the bottom of the ocean 6.000 years ago). Daniel Brandsma of Artesia. Calif, and Deanna Palladino of Kalamazoo. Mich, were formally initiated at the honors convocation. Geology 115 Physical Education Jocks move into new paradise Drawing from a liberal arts background, the physical education department now believes it has something special to offer not only the I .I:, major, but also the recreation major. According to Professor William Vanderbilt, chairman of the department, a decrease in the number of required courses to four has given the major much greater flexibility in developing his own personal program. I he department now offers a composite recreation major where courses from virtu- alls all disciplines can be used in associa- tion with recreation. For example, a com- posite recreation major may take 22 hours of recreation and an additional 14 hours of business credit. Students may also work toward a minor in recreation if he or she is simply interested m working tin the community level m such areas as health dynamics, exercise programs or physiology . Other minors include dance and coaching, the latter of which is very popular with P.l. majors. The overall pro- gram involves a much greater degree of responsibility for the P.F.. major than in the past. With the addition of the new facilities of the Dow Center, the department opened a new course that is required of all incoming freshmen. Students are tested at the begin- ning of the semester and spend 16-20 hours in the classroom receiving comprehensive instruction in health dynamics. Prof. Van- derbilt believes that the course is very inno- vative. yet he admits that it. has its ups and downs. I he construction of the new physical education building pushed the department into more community involvement. Com- munity members may buy membership for the use of the Dow Center as well as rent a locker and gym clothes. I he program started out somewhat slug- gishly with 12-15 members in the early fall. But. as the poor weather set in. the member- ship sw elled to over 200 and at present there is a waiting list. I he department also conducted an exten- sive summer physical education program. In the past, the community has had back- yard swimming classes where student swim- mers rotated from private pool to private pool. Hope now directs these classes in the Kresge Natatorium. The Dow Center was also the site of a summer basketball camp, coached by Prof. Glen Van Wicrcn and also the General Synod of the Reformed Church of America. Various faculty of the physical education department placed their talents on exhib- ition during the annual Kiel Concert in the main gymnasium of the Dow Center on October 20. F eatured quest artist was Prof. George Kraft who sang “The Impossible Dream from the hit musical. The Man from LaMancha. Ihe concert also involved a vocal ensem- ble of P.F.. staffers singing Junk Food Junkie. I he selection was chosen by Prof. Dick Peterson to help promote the nutri- tional philosophy of the department’s new health dynamics program. I hree students received special awards in athletics for '78-79. Steve Prediger. a senior from Muskegon. Mich., was the choice for the Miner Stegenga Award. The Alvin W. Vandcrbush Student Athlete Award went to Jeff Cordes. a junior from Oregon. III. And Doug Koopman was honored with the Otto Vander Velde All-Campus award. Doug is a senior from Overiscl. Mich. Psychology On the air The realm of psychology is changing in such a way as to provide several new stimuli to the department. Environ- mental psychology, biofeedback, clini- cal psychology neuropsychology and the psychology of aging are several dynamic areas, but I)r. Phillip Van Eyl. chairman of the department, feels that the departmental response should be cautious. Even though we need a div- erse staff to cover all these areas, we must be careful not to over subdivide the staff. Students need to see the field as a whole. Two members of the staff aptly dem- onstrated their ability to respond to the changing face of psychology. Drs. Thomas Ludwig and David Myers published an article entitled. “How Christians Can Cope With Inflation. or Let's Cut the Poortalk. The article, under two different titles, appeared in the October 24. 78 issue of the Saturday Review and the May 30. 79 issue of Christian Century. It was the article in Christian Century that attracted Chicago news radio sta- tion WBBM. I he CBS radio affiliate invited Dr. Ludwig to be interviewed on the Bob and Betty Sanders Show which runs in the midday from 10:00 to 2:00. I he interview was broadcast August 14. 79. I he popular paper of the two Hope professors deals with the tendency of 116 Physical Education Americans to poortalk a situation, or look in retrospect at what seemed to have been ‘better times. For example, bemoaning the decreasing buying power of the dollar. Ludwig and Myers argue, however, that the American’s buying power has actually been on the rise. But. “... commiseration is fun. it’s the type of conversation that turns up in middle class conversations, but poortalking makes it harder for us to adjust to the new times.’ Ludwig said. He went on to say that. Dave and I are both Chris- tians. The Judaeo-Christian tradition has a deemphasis on material posses- sions and more of an emphasis on jus- tice. It is on the basis that Ludwig and Myers feel that the Christian has some- thing special to offer: he can legiti- mately issue a challenge to cut out the poor talk. People who are objectively bad off can still be very happy in what they have, it is the people who have been spending to the hilt, and then have to cut back that end up suffering.” said Ludwig. What Ludwig and Myers seem to be discussing is relative depravation. Says Ludwig. It‘s our choice of compara- tive groups that makes the difference. FRONT ROW (from left to right) B Edwards.

Boh Sanders of WBBM summed up the article and interview this way, Once you have done all you can about inflation, don’t talk about it.” Elsewhere in the department. Dr. James Motiff is pursuing research in the area of biofeedback. Motiff was previously known for his work with the psychology department's rhesus mon- key laboratory. After Motiff turned to biofeedback research, the department sold the monkeys and converted the laboratory into a housing complex for the many rats and mice used in biology research. Dr. Van Eyl is involved in research dealing with the human's perception of height and consequent feeling of alien- ation in association with tall buildings. Van Eyl’s research is directed at assist- ing urban environmental architects and city planners. Van Eyl is now offering a May term that includes a tour and study of major European cities — old and new. Other departmental research includes Dr. John Shaughnessy’s work with memory and Dr. Jane Dickie's children studies.

K Stevens Sociology The Young Turks We'rc small and young, some call us the young turks on campus ... we could not do anthropology with our size, it would only weaken us. so we attack a few things and try to do them very' well. Dr. Ron Mulder, chairman of the sociology department seems to he advocating a don’t-bite-off-more- than-you-can-chew philosophy. What sociologists at Mope have been chewing on are some intriguing research projects. Dr. Mulder con- ducted-several research studies includ- ing the effects of televised political advertising in the 1975 Chicago mayo- ral election, the political effects of the Carter-Ford debate and a survey of Holland Sentinel readers. In the Holland Sentinel study. Mulder found, among other things, that only 3% of Sentinel readers are under age 25. 99c', of the readership is white and that after local news, the most popular feature of the paper is the obituary column. Dr. Don I.uidens. who frequently looks at religion from a sociological perspective, took an inquiring glance into the occupational mobility of Reformed Church ministers. I.uidens discovered that many ministers start out as congregationalists or baptists. Many, however, find that they want a more liturgical structure, so they make the 'jump' to the Reformed Church. After staying with the Reformed Church for a period of time, ministers will often make another jump: to the Presbyterian church. The Reformed Church is therefore placed right in the middle of this movement. It is interest- ing to note that in chartering this move- ment. I.uidens also found that the occupational mobility of Reformed Church ministers roughly correlates to an increase in church size, wealth, and responsibility. Mark F.nnis. a junior from Jersey City. N.J.. assisted Dr. I.ui- dens in the study. Dr. James Piers, the third member of the department, is heavily involved with personal counseling, particularly marriage counseling. Says Mulder in reference to faculty research. I want to collect data and plug the tapes into Sociology 119 the computer .. . Jim Piers will be involved in someone who will walk into his office with a problem. Mulder maintains that the depart- ment is presently understaffed. John Osborne, a public school teacher from the Holland district, teaches a night course in child welfare and social wel- fare. According to Mulder. Osborne is very popular with students and fac- ulty. Those associated with the sociology department seem to be one of the heav- iest uses of off campus programs. Two particularly popular programs with sociology majors are the Chicago and Philadelphia Urban Semesters. According to Mulder. We send a lot of people to Philadelphia, to be in an inner city environment ... many study with computer survey firms .. .we try very hard to get the student away from Holland and into the urban areas where sociology can better be studied. Hope College, operating under the authority of the G.L.C.A.. is in charge of the Philadelphia program for all G.L.C.A. colleges. The sociology department does not offer a degree in social work. Faculty members have, however, worked out a quasi-bachelor of sociology: which is a combination of psychology and sociol- ogy. We look at them as social work majors. Mulder said. Presently, the department has about 60 sociology majors a large share are sociology-psychology composite majors. Arts and Humanities Living in the shadow of the sciences since the mid-60‘s. the Arts and Humanities are now gaining some notoriety of their own. In the 60 s a heavy emphasis was laid on the science Rrogram. As the sciences gained in sta- ilily and prestige, they also gained a certain academic autonomy. Now. in the late 70’s and heading into the 80's. the academic vitality of the sciences sustains itself. Dr. Jacob Nyenhuis. Dean for the Humanities and the Per- forming and Fine Arts maintains that no longer are the Arts and Humanities being neglected for the sake of science. We have had a lot of progress under Dr. Van Wylen. in building our aca- demic strength across the board, Nyenhuis said. We’ve always had a good program, with good people, but in the past four years many new people have entered the Arts and Humanities that are dynamic and attractive ... their teaching is based on a scholarly program of maintaining a certain vital- ity through a continuous study of their own. What this adds up to is a significant increase in programmatic and individ- ual grants: notably in the humanities. The quality of class instruction has continued to improve and the public attention to the Arts and Humanities at I lope has radically increased. The Michigan Council for the Humanities presented Hope with three rants for public forums: forums that ring together people from outside the college and the faculty to discuss public policy from the humanist perspective. The public policy forum will go under the overall title of “Caring and Curing. and will cover a broad range of topics, from genetic engineering To malpractice. The Arts and Humanities also received a mid-sized grant ($5-10.000) for the successful pilot intensive French program. The National Endowment for the Humanities awarded two $50,000 grants to Hope College. Nyenhuis reports that the college used one grant to raise $250,000 which went to pay two new faculty, buy additional books and more. Dr. Nyenhuis is happy to report that the faculty has worked very well together. There has been a new interest in planning: to look ahead to objectives set for the first and second semester. Says Nyenhuis, “The result is that we are inspiring each other, sparking each other to think in new ways about what we have been doing. Dean Nyenhuis states that the first semester in the Humanities will be rather structured while the second semester will remain flexible with the hope. ... to have fluidity in it so there can be a dynamism. ’ said Nyenhuis. According to Dr. Nyenhuis. the Arts have a long way to go to attract ade- quate outside funding. However. Hope has an amazingly good program ... the College does remarkably well in providing programs on a limited budget. Nyenhuis said._______________ 120 Arts and Humanities FRONT ROW (from Icttto right) K Martinez. G Mueller. M Zehetbauer, M Poppen. Mrs Searles SECOND ROW: P Knoll. J Swanson. Sandy. Todd. E DeVette. F Ver Lee Languages SPA SCOXf tutors the beginning Spanish s For the first time in the history of the foreign language program at Hope, the department is completely staffed in all areas. Foreign language classes have been primarily manned by part-time instructors in the past, but recently, according to Dr. Jacob Nyenhuis. Dean of the Arts and Humanities, the Languages have come up to full strength. By the fall of 79, ten of the twelve teaching faculty will have doc- toral degrees. 1 think the department is the strongest it has ever been, there is a highly qualified staff, several new programs and I am very optimistic. said Nyenhuis. One of those programs that started as a pilot project is the intensive French course series. Dr. Nyenhuis believes that the program has been generally well accepted by the students. “I was favorably impressed by what students can communicate in French at the end of only one semester... there is a good enthusiasm within the group of appren- tice teachers. We are still waiting for some comparative stats. Nyenhuis is referring to some research data that will assist the faculty in determining the worth of the program in compari- son to German and Spanish. The inten- sive language program is now being expanded to two sections of Spanish and one intensive German course in the fall of 79. A new award was established enti- tled the Edward J. Wolters Award in Classics in the spring of 79. Professor Edward Wolters, who will celebrate his 81st birthday in December, served as a member of the Latin and German fac- ulty for 36 years at Hope. The first recipient of the award was Kathy E. Brown, a sophomore from St. Joseph. Mich. Also during the spring term, the Col- lege served as host to the annual meet- ing of the Michigan Classical Confer- ence. The program included an illus- trated lecture by Dr. Ruth W. Todd of Wayne State University. Dr. Todd served as visiting associate professor of classics at Hope in 77-78 and returned to Hope in the summer of 79 as associ- ate professor of classics and chairman of the department of foreign languages and literatures. In addition to hosting the Michigan Languages Classical Conference, the department administered the National Spanish Examination of the American Associa- tion of Teachers of Spanish and Portu- guese. High schoolers could compete in four different levels with or without outside experience in Spanish. Accord- ing to Orestes G. Pino, assistant profes- sor of Spanish and coordinator of the Mope College testing center, 132 stu- dents took the examination in the state wide contest which offers prizes on both the slate and national level. Dr. Hubert P. Weller developed a computer-assisted instructional pro- gram in Spanish that was accepted by CONDUIT, a source of quality com- puter-related instructional materials for higher education. The program is called SPANCOM and is one of the first two programs in the humanities accepted by CON- DUIT. SPANCOM addresses prob- lems experienced by the vast majority of beginning students of Spanish problems linked to the verb and object grammar. The program is a series of 26 interactive drills in writing Spanish verbs and single object pronouns in any of 12 tense-words. A distinct advantage of SPANCOM is that its drills go beyond the right-or- wrong approach and respond to the actual problems a student is experienc- ing. If a student makes an error in a drill, the program proceeds to an ordered series of segmental or morpho- logical scans and checks to determine the position or nature of the error. If a student is still unsure, he or she may request a hint. There are approximately 40 possible comments and hints for each cue. SPANCOM has been used in Hope classrooms for the past three years. In addition to the Edward J. Wolters Classics Award, two departmental prizes were offered at the '79 Honors Convocation. Seniors Paul Knoll of Holland and Richard George Western Springs. III. were given the Delta Phi Alpha Prize in German while Larry Mannino. a senior from Lansing. Mich., received the Eta Sigma Phi Book Prize in Classics. Senior Kristina Martinez from Nor- ton Shores. Mich, was awarded three prizes: Marqucritc Prins French Award, the Linda D. Palmer Memorial Award in French and the Laura Alice Boyd Memorial award in German. The Barbara E. Geeting Memorial Award in German went to Veronika Hildegard Eva-Maria Steiganberger, a senior from Holland. Julia Perez, a Holland area senior captured the Martin N. Ralph Memorial Award in Spanish.

Despite the inconvenience of con- ducting a program between two build- ings. the art department carried a full Martin Tilley, a student apprentice, lends encouragement to one of his students. 122 An calendar of activities. Art critic Corinne Robins visited the Hope campus in mid-October. Robins, who has published in such magazines as the Sunday Times Book Review, Womanan and ARTS presented lec- tures on art criticism and social change and women in contemporary art. Also during the fall term, an exhib- ition of 30 serigraphs (silkscreens) by Roy Ahlgren of Eric. Penn, was pre- sented in the art gallery of the De Witt Cultural Center. Ahlgren has been a printmaker for the past 10 years and has received national and international recognition. He has produced over 100 editions of prints in this time and is represented in the permanent collec- tions of many art centers, museums and colleges as well as over a thousand private collections. The artist's concern is with graphic- images found in nature as well as in the imagination. He suggests with shape, form, etc.: namely, all the processes of nature rather that imitating these processes. To interpret this concept. Ahlgren uses color modulation, shape, movement, and a feeling of time and place in the serigraphs. On November 27 of '78. the art department opened an exhibition enti- tled “An Alumnus Collects. a selec- tum of American prints from the col- lection of Orville Beattie of Lake Por- Cindy Lee's sculpture has one admirer. % Sketching with chalk is the subject tor Chris Goldschmidt and Mark Chockley. junior from Holland and Robert Wilkie, a Schenectady.

Thomas Hart Benton and Reginald Marsh. In addition, the selec- tion includes some earlier works, such as a number of Whis- tler's prints and a Mary Cassatt. Hope Art’s own Professor William R. Mayer presented a lecturc workshop on contemporary ceram- ics at Western Michi- gan University. Mayer is experi- enced in glass blow- ing, neon working, photography, foundry procedures and paper- making. as well as all phases of ceramics and sculpture. He has exhibited and received awards in such shows as Burke Hartswick Glass Invitation, the Super Mud Invita- tional and Handmade Paper Exhibition at University Park. Penn. Group Photog- raphy Exhibition, Minneapolis. Minn, and the Flatland Sculpture Exhibition A ith the second highest course enrollment of all the departments at Hope, it is understandable that Dr. Elton Bruins, chairman of the religion department is in search of an eighth faculty member. According to Bruins, the prospective faculty member would teach part-time in the fall in the area of world religions. Presently, Dr. Sang Lee and Dr. Henry Voogt handle the course load for the department’s offerings in world religions. Up until the fall of ’79. Lee and Voogt’s courses were offered on the senior seminar level. Now. senior seminars are com- bined under Dr. Lars Granberg’s IDS pro- gram. Bruins points out that previously, the brunt of the reli- gion faculty’s course work was at the lower level. With the addi- tion of a world reli- gion instructor and the restructuring of the senior seminar program, the major in religion should now I , have a better choice in upper level courses. Presently, there are about 25 majors in the department. Area churches are putting up a much stronger demand for church workers. Bruins reports. These churches are turning away from the semi- naries and asking Hope’s religion department for good college students with a broad experiential base. Celaine Bouma. of Des Moines.

According to Bruins, the controversy not only split the church “right down the middle. but the whole town of Holland fell vic- tim to the schism as well.

Lee was also one of the 16 college and university professors from all parts of the country selected to par- ticipate in the African Humanities Institute at the University of California in Los Angeles. The Institute's aim is to provide the means for extending the present knowledge of the African humanities into the undergraduate sys- tem by preparing teachers for new approaches to unfamiliar geographic regions, working from their ow n disci- plinary training. Dr. Robert Palma presented a paper entitled. Barth’s free theology of cul- ture at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Religion and the Society of Biblical Literature held in New Orleans. The above is just a small sampling of the 58 professional activities listed in the department's report for the spring term of ’79. The department also sponsors a monthly series of lectures for its faculty and majors. The series features presen- tations from within the college and included such lectures as Dr. Wayne Boulton’s talk on the Presbyterian Church's handling of the homosexual- ity issue and Dr. Jack Ridl’s presenta- tion concerning mental illness. Dr. Richard R. Niebohr. nephew of the well-known Reinholt Neibohr and professor of religion at Harvard Uni- versity visited Hope's campus under the sponsorship of the religion depart- a senior from Palos Heights.

Thank God we get along so well together. We are making plans for the next three years in a September meet- ing at the Alumni House. We’ll spend the entire Saturday to plan where we are going in the next three years. Bruins said. Part of the reason for the enthusiasm within the religion department may be Dr. Jacob Nyenhuis, Dean of the Arts and Humanities. According to Dr. Bruins. We get really good support from him ... I really enjoy him. He’s pulling in money and giving the humanities a whole new' esprit do corps ... his ideas and encouragement are just great.” The faculty enthusiasm of the reli- gion department can also be seen in their prolific output of literature and extensive activity calendar. Dr. Bruins, for example, has been involved in pre- senting lectures in the area concerning the Masonic controversy of the late 19th century in Holland. In the controversy, the old pillar church, now Central Avenue Christian Reformed Church located at Central and W. 9th Street, was split in a debate over the tolerance of membership in secret societies concommitant with membership in the church.

Dr. Henry ten lloor has been a member of the Hope faculty since 1946 with a special academic interest in the writings of William Shakespeare. Dr. ten Hoor’s section of Shakespeare was popular with students not only because of the professor's expertise on the subject, but because of his unique ability to read Shakespeare in such an entertaining manner. In an interview he granted to the anchor. Dr. ten Hoor reflected on the Hope students he has taught over the years: In the '40s. the school was filled with veterans on the G.I. bill. Most kids had pretty firm notions about why they were here and what to do after they were out. They were older, serious anil wanted to get on with it.

Later, in the 60's, there was a great deal of turmoil as students had to cope with the Vietnam war. minority rights. It was an unhealthy time; no reason was mixed in with all the passion. “The students of the 70's are much smarter they're listening to people who know a little about what education can do and some good ways to achieve it.

Dr. Hemenway’s studies carried him overseas to Ireland during the fall term of '78. Hemenway visited a short story author by the name of Robert Bernen. Bernen lives in the high country and Dr. Hemenway found out just how high that country was. In a letter to Dr. Fried of the education department. Hemenway reports. Early Saturday morning I walked the five miles to Lei- terbarrow and was fortunate to get a lift for the next five miles into the mountains, about a mile from their cot- tage. The Bernens were surprised I made it and admitted they thought I'd be a very scholarly looking, grey-naired prof not a bearded student-type (I succumbed to the flattery). ... they've done wonders with desolate farm land, though they’re not trying to make lots of money. They're content with a sim- ple. peaceful, hard-working life in an area where people have little, but great endurance, great concern for their neighbors and an unsurpassed friendli- ness.

Instead of the traditional four major pla s offered in the Dc Witt ( ultural ( en- ter main theatre, the department cut back to only two. one in the fall term and one in the spring term. Henrik Ibsen's The Wild ______________________________________ Duck and The Tempest of Shakespeare were featured as the department’s main efforts. Substituting for the other plays were several 'workshop' productions developed in the De Witt studio theatre I he new format reportedly allows a much higher degree of flexibility in theatre experience for the major while providing a more conducive environment for the coaching and develop- ment of theatrical skills. The Department also initiated an Audi- ence Education Program which w ill provide opportunity for members of the Holland area community to explore, in greater depth, the productions presented during the winter season. James ('iH)k. Jackie Donnelly, and Dan- iel Van Ark are the representatives of the Holland community who will head up the new program. The team will explore such means as raising ideas, issues and questions presented by the plays, leading post-per- formance discussions, preparing discussion guidelines for use by interested local groups and providing written information or per- sonal reflections on the plays for the benefit of audience members. We of the theatre faculty are quite excited about this program’s potential and about the three individuals who have agreed to implement it. said theatre department chairman George Ralph. We have sought a way to provide the 'educa- tum' which can deepen one’s appreciation of the theatre-going experience, and we feel that this approach should be stimulating and rewarding. The department awarded four different prizes to si students at Honor's Convoca- tion. Winning the freshman, sophomore and junior Theatre Patrons' Awards were Charles Bell. Jon Hondorp. and Michelle Martin, respectively. I he Theatre Depart- ment Senior Prize was given to Carol Anderson. Daniel Huizcnga and Cindv Lee. Music New class features guest artists revised music curriculum was a moot prospect for this department in ’78-79. According to Dr. Stuart Sharp, chairman of the department. The revised plan permits the completion of the Bachelor of Music degree in four years. It presently takes 4' ; years to complete the degree. The history department, who. according to Dr. Sharp are the classic defenders of the core. are challeng- ing the revision. Despite the on-going debate con- cerning the core curriculum, the music department offered a new course to anyone interested in the arts. Called IDS 101. the class uses faculty mem- bers from within the department and visiting artists to present seminars on the arts. Visiting artists included representa- tives from theatre, art. music and dance. After the first year of the class. Dr. Sharp felt that two types of stu- dents are enrolling. You get the kids that are serious and those that are out to get an easy break. A real feel for the activity of this busy department can be obtained by studying the cultural affairs calendar. The department regularly offers major ensembles, choir and jazz concerts, and faculty and student recitals. “We have an outstanding perform- ing faculty. It’s a challenge to maintain both a performance and teaching schedule at the same time.” Often, fac- ulty can only find time to perform on Sunday afternoons in chamber ensem- bles.

The series focused on several areas: busi- ness. medicine, the ministry and law. According to Dr. Vlerold Westphal, chair- man of the department, the lecture program was directed at the non-philosophy major to the amateur philosopher. Invitations were sent out to scholars believed to be the best available in their respective fields. Westphal said. We got all our first choices. Meanwhile, in mid-autumn of '78.

The depart- men I is phasing in the new core require- ments that feature an expansion of ancient and modern philosophy to accommodate John Clough reclines in the Kletz for an afternoon of uninterrupted studies. more students. With the new core structure, the now legendary Introduction to Liberal Arts given by l)r. D. Ivan Dykslra. was ter- minated in the spring of '79. Dr. Dykslra will be concentrat- ing his efforts on the History of Philoso- phy series until his retirement in 1980. Westphal men- tions that the His- tory of Philosophy now comprises the core of the program, but the department is making an attempt to appeal to a larger segment of the student popula- tion. Westphal reports that Ancient Philosophy and Fundamentals of Philosophy are doing very well: both of which are instructed by Dr. Arthur Jentz. Jentz is also plan- ning a course offer- ing regarding ethics and business in the spring of ‘80. The course will be made possible through a grant from the Council in Philosophic Study. At commencement, the philosophy department awarded the Charles F. Lake Memorial Prize in Philosophy to Paul Dra- per. Draper is from Bethany. West Virginia.

R Adolph, L Butcher, S Cochran Political Science Professors profess that they're humanists. rhe political science department strongly resembled a foster child in search of a home in the past year. The discipline has traditionally been classi- fied as a social science, but no longer. ‘78-79 saw a departmental reshuffling into two broad categories: the natural and social sciences and the arts and humanities. In an effort to balance the load for these areas. Hope political sci- entists. (who have long admitted that they're humanist) found themselves in the humanities. Yet. Dr. James Zoete- way. chairman of the department, is a little uneasy with new distinction. We’ll just have to look at ourselves as a social science in the humanities. he said. Despite the debate over the aca- demic classification of political science, the department found time to maintain their aggressive internship program. The Washington. D.C. Honors Semester has earned the accolades of students and faculty alike. Prior to 1976 Hope participated in the program offered through the facilities of Ameri- can University. Dr. Robert Elder, after having experienced the Washington. Political Science 133 mm Governor Millikan checks out the dining accommodations at Hope during his visit in the fall. D.C. program at Colgate University, conducted by his father, suggested that Mope initiate its own Washington. D.C. semester. The suggestion was spurred by several reports from American Uni- versity participants that the American University academic program in asso- ciation with their part-time internships was not as rigorous as it should be. In fact, before 1976. only four stu- dents could participate in the program. Thinking they could provide not only a better academic base, but also a supe- rior experimental program for its stu- dents. Mope initiated its own honors semester. Now. approximately 15 to 20 students are accepted each year and they are required to undertake two internships of six weeks in length work- ing full-time throughout the course of the semester. According to Dr. Zoetewav. provid- ing two solid full-time internships helps to avoid so-called ‘gopher' work (menial tasks). In comparing Mope's present program with that of Colgate's. Zoetewav said. Mope's program is bet- ter ... and Colgate's is very good. The department has a variety of other internships that are closer to home including state legislature aids, legal aids and working with the Hol- land City Mall. Our goal has been to maintain a strong academic program while main- taining opportunities for experience that will buttress the academic aspect. History Students no longer hove U.S. histon• option. new emphasis in introductory history has sent l)r. Earl Curry and Dr. William Cohen back to their history textbooks for a little brushing up. After a slight restructur- ing. the degree core requirement lost some flexibility in the past year. To satisfy the requirement, the student must now take European history, no longer having the option of studying American history as in the old Introduction to History format. As a result, says Cohen, chairman of the department. I've undertaken an extensive Zoeteway said. The Margaret Otte DeVelder Prize awarded by the department at the '79 Honors Convocation went to Jeffrey Welch, a junior from Allen Park. Mich- igan. while Mike Engelhard! of Lans- ing. Michigan received the James Dyke Van Pullen Political Science Prize at the '79 graduation exercises. summer reading program, including several textbooks and monographs. Neither Cohen or Curry have ever instructed an European history class. Curry adds. We believe the move will be beneficial to Hope students. I lie activity of the history faculty was phenomenal throughout the '78-79 aca- demic year. Dr. Curry, ihrough the facilities of Garland Press, published a book entitled. Hoover's Dominican Diplomacy anil the On- gins of ihe Good eighhor Policy Curry's book is one of 20 distinguished 134 History scholarly monographs that Garland Press is presenting in its Modem American History Series. All of the works in the scries have been chosen for their quality and signifi- cance by Prof. Frank Fricdel of Harvard University, one of the leading authorities on the presidencies of Herbert Hoover and Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Dr. Michael Petrovich, associate profes- sor of history was appointed by the L'.S. Department of Health. Fducation and Wel- fare to the review panel to evaluate propos- als submitted to the U.S. Office of Educa- tion under the National Defense Education Act Title VI Fellowship and C enter Appli- cations. The panel, composed of 39 American Scholars and specialists in area studies of the world, met at a mid-March week long session in Washington. D.C. Petrovich, together with five other specialists, evalu- ated all projects relating to Eastern Euro- pean studies including the Soviet Union. In March of ’78. Petrovich served as the official U.S. interpreter for the talks between President Garter and President I no of Yugoslavia, at the White House in Washington. D.C. The department also offers a May term in Yugoslavia. Lasting six weeks, the course involved approximately 12 students in a Irek to Zagreb. Yugoslavia with Dr. Petro- vich who is director of Foreign studies in that city. A Soviet Union destination proved to be an illusive goal for Dr. I.arr Penrose who was scheduled for a leave of absence to studs there. Supported by International Reserve Exchange funds. Penrose was to arrive in the I .S.S.R. in the late summer of '78. Instead, he stayed in Holland with the suspicion that the heightened American- Soviet tension was the bane of his pass into Russia. Presently. Dr. Penrose is research- ing Chincsc-Russian trade relations in the 16th and 17th centuries. According to Dr. Cohen, the aim of the department is not only to get people excited about w hat has happened in the past, but to think critically in evaluating and presenting evidence. It's not just that Pearl Harbor was bombed on December 7. 1941. but what actually happened in and around the event ... we like to play detective ... a study of history provides you w ith a way in which you may weigh contradictory pieces of evidence. Cohen said. Karrs Ritter, a senior from Michigan City. Ind.. won the Ray Dc Young History Prize at Commencement '79. Ritter had presented a paper at the Humanities Collo- quium involving Albertus Van Raalte's attempt to establish a colony in Virginia. Ron Bechtel, from Grand Rapids, cap- tured the Phi Alpha Hieta Freshman Book Award while that same award for sopho- mores went to Phil Vanderhaar of Orange City. la.

History 135 Education Mm Miaaieion peruses me card catalog. Special Education certifications are skyrocketing. he activity of the education faculty was largely dominated by the prepara- tion of a departmental self-evaluation in ‘78-79. The evaluation is required by the National Crediting Association of Teacher Educators in its 10 year evalu- ation. The N.C.A.T.E. will travel from Washington, D.C. to Holland in the fall of '79 to make a personal evalua- tion: the education department's accreditation will be weighed in the balance. The department still found time to sponsor the sixth annual Young Author's Conference held at Hope on May 4. Joe Wayman. nationally recog- nized consultant and author of educa- tional books, records and films was the featured speaker at the event. The conference involves approxi- mately 500 children from private, paro- chial and public schools in the Western Michigan area. Each child who attends the confer- ence has been selected for the honor on the basis of some creative writing which he or she has written and pre- sented to his or her classmates. During the three-hour morning conference each child participates in three activi- ties: a sharing period during which the student will read his poetry or story to a small group of his peers, a creative activity time where each child partici- pates in puppetry and creative drama, and a large group session led by Mr. Wayman. Dr. James Bultman. chairman of the department, was on a sabatical during the fall term. Prof. Bultman’s studies carried him to Hawaii where he observed the Hawaiian educational system: a system that is unique due to the fact that it is totally state con- trolled. free of school districts. The department also issued 92 teach- ing certifications in 1979. The figure appears relatively large, but is actually down from well over 200 during the peak years of the early I970’s. Profes- sor Lamont Dirkse reports that Michi- gan is tremendously overcrowded with teachers. Not only are four of the nation's top ten teacher education institutions located in Michigan, but the state’s lucrative salary schedule also makes Michigan a very attractive occu- pational location for young teaching prospects. According to Dirkse, the department has 20 special education majors, a rather high number. He attributes this to two factors: first, when the teaching job market tightens, there is a corre- sponding increase in those turning to special education and second, the edu- cation department has a 100% place- ment record for those majoring in spe- cial education. At Honors Convocation. Vivian Pot- ter. a junior from Fairport. N.Y.. received the laurals of the education department by capturing the Elizabeth Vandcrbush Scholarship. Later, at Commencement '79. Tim Lont from Grand Rapids. Mich., received the Marguerite E. Kinkema Special Education Award while Steven Prediger of Muskegon, Mich., and Jill Nihart from Bryan. Ohio, received the Egbert Winter Education Awards. 136 Education Requiem for 113 (The following are selected passages from Requiem for 113 : The Rise and Fall of an Idea. ) ... What happened between the time when the course was first thought about and its actual going into opera- tion is surely as interesting as anything that happened to it later. “The first stirrings out of which 113 grew happened in the early fifties. What began then was a definite move to revise the core curriculum. 1 am not sure why it happened. We did have in the person of Dr. Hollenbach, a rea- sonably new Dean, who needed to engage us in something that could become, with complete propriety, a focal point for our and his designs for the future of the College. Everyone else was revising their core curricula (it seemed the thing to be doing ). More tangibly. I think it was really triggered by the unhappiness of our freshman English teachers. But I am not sure why they were unhappy. They seemed to want to escape the boring nuts and bolts work of having to teach unwill- Dykstra 137 ing freshmen the rudiments of writing English prose. .. But having gotten started, the curriculum study went on, and on. and on. I am not sure why it did. Maybe it was because we were so awed by the importance of what we were up to that we became temperamentally fearful of coming to some conclusion. I rather think the real hassle was over whether or not the core curricu- lum should include the study of foreign languages: that is, that appeared to be the crucial issue. But. then and in retro- spect. I do not think that was really the issue at all. It was. I suspect, the front for something far more pervasive and far more emotion- laden. It was on the basis of whether one was for or against the inclu- sion of foreign lan- guages in the core that one became identified as a “conservative.” as a knight in shining armor, or a perpe- trator of some moral infamy. “. . . Whatever the reasons for divisiveness, this finally became so serious that Presi- dent Lubbers, judg- ing it to be too dis- ruptive of the school’s process, without forewarn- ing. at a monthly faculty meeting announced the ter- mination of the study and the com- mittee. This hap- pened. 1 would guess in the very Tate fifties, maybe even in 1960. “During those seven or eight years of discussion and increasing division, however, there was one thing that we never seemed to disagree on. I found that to be very odd then and still do. This was on the question of whether the new curriculum, just in case it ever came to birth, would include something in philosophy. Philosophy always appeared in our proposed curriculum structures, and, as occasions arose, was always approved by a vote of nine or ten for, one (mine) against. ... I am not sure why I kept object- ing to it. The best face I can put on that is that I thought curriculum should have good reasons for being what it was. and that involved having a good reason for including philosophy, which involved having someone at least say what it was supposed to contribute. I do not remember anyone even saying anything that had a bearing on that. I think I tended to treat the committee’s unanimity for philosophy rather lightly, thinking that what was really a on in their minds was that “Phi- . hy is what other colleges tend to do in their cores, so we should, too.” ...It could also be that I could not warm up to the idea of teaching a cap- tive audience. Or maybe, being young in my job. I was just cocky enough to think that all I had to do was show up in a classroom and students would come running, without benefit of a requirement to herd them in. (Between fifty and sixty percent did elect philoso- phy. but that was a different day than now.) “You are going to find this next hard to believe. I do. too. It just could be that only within the past year it began to dawn on me what was really involved in this beautiful unanimity for including a philosophy course. What suggested this was a very incidental remark that John llollenbach made. What came out was the, to me. aston- ishing comment that one of the things he would like to have had me include in “the course” was something on “the art of dying.” That struck me as very odd, that upon entering college we should plunge in and teach freshmen about dying. ... His remark, however, made sense once I connected it with a larger something — with the thought that what the proposed required philosophy course would work at was developing in students the urge and competence to develop their “philosophies of life.” When one speaks of a philosophy of life one speaks of moving toward the possession of some fixed set of beliefs which subsequently will guide our life choices — and cer- tainly our attitudes toward dying. But . .. philosophy is the conduct of inquiry. an exami- nation of beliefs rather than their affirmation. ... I am not sure just when the issue of core revi- sion began brewing again, or how. ... With Lub- bers’ retirement, we. of course, faced the prospect of a “new” President. Somewhere along the way there was a suggestion that the faculty should pre- Eare a gift in onor of his com- ing. That got a mixed reception, obviously. Every- one was in favor of a “gift.” but that created some anxi- eties about how much we might have to shell out of our meager pockctbooks to pay for it. Into that climate, however, there quickly came the clarification: it was not a “money-gift” that the proposer had in mind, but something far more important than anything money could buy.” ... Our gift to the new President should consist in a display of faculty esprit de corps, or unity ... there was only one way in which a demonstration of unity could occur: approving the new core curriculum. So it was dusted off. brought to a vote and passed without debate or dissent. After all. who would vote against a gift to 138 Dyksira 'fSo, certainly without complaint or regret, and without sadness save as I now turn from something that I have lived with intensively for a long time, I say adieu to I 13.” the new president. especially as long as it did not mean money out of one’s pocket? So suddenly, what we had seem- ingly endlessly haggled about became a reality.... I think I had no difficulty in conceiving of what the Philosophy (portion) should look like. It took shape partly as a continuity with the Introductory Philosophy course I had been leaching for some fifteen years and partly by way of reaction against some of the things that earlier course involved. I guess the most important continu- ity was in the conviction that the aim of college and university education, in that part of it which is not defined by specific professional interests, is not to introduce students into some vague adult-life-in-general but specifically into the life of a community of the learned, a specifically academic, even intellectual community. That dictated that the course should not aim at some- thing called “personal enrichment or living effectively or “enlargement of experience save as that kind of thing should follow upon an intellectual acquisition. College. I was and am sure, is not ideally a set of new core course might well take. The greater problem involved getting together the appropri- ate materials for classroom use. I could never have pulled that off were it not for the fortuitous circum- stance that we had just graduated in the spring of '64. a sheer genius. Lynne Vande Bunie had by then read every- thing about everything, which was a great deal more than I could claim for myself. Not only so but she possessed an almost eerie ability to grasp what my line of reasoning on an issue might be almost as soon as I did. so she needed only a cue or two as to what kind of thing I was interested in look- ing for and she would be back a few hours later, not only bearing armloads of relevant books but with exact usable passages already identified. In that way. in the summer of ’64. a book of readings was readied — two volumes, upwards of 400 pages each ... “... Almost from the beginning of 113. 1 carried out the practice of gath- ering student responses to the course itself. And what became gradually apparent was the students’ impression that, though it might be hard to fault any one of the major kinds of things that developed as a part of the course, taken all together they produced a neg- ative effect, as the clear cohesiveness which was important to the effective- ness of the course gave way to a feeling of scatteredness. That student testi- mony became so common that I felt I had no choice but to pull in my horns and opt for those simplifications that would make possible the attainment of clarity and cohesiveness. Eventually that damaging feeling of scatteredness. I had to see. was furthered even by the readings that made up the anthology itself. One of the major shortcomings. I felt keenly, of my own undergraduate education had been its almost complete reliance on textbook-type materials. Not until graduate school was I made aware of the enormous worth of using primary source materials, even if that had to be in the form of excerpted sec- tions rather than whole books ... but what if resort to those results in inco- herence of an inquiry? With a good deal of reluctance, but eventually with a good deal of conviction, I had to move to the belief that, in a core curric- ulum. one could not maintain the same kind of academic demands which arc essential in the major discipline. The importance of writing cogently and coherently, and of reading exactly and reflectively, are as crucial in the core as anywhere. But one defeats the proper purposes of a core if one insists that there as in the major the student be pushed toward becoming a producer of iearning more than a receiver of what has been produced. It was this consid- eration that made me dare to do what I had in my own mind frowned upon all the while’ namely, to move (after about ten years) from an anthology formal to a text-book format, though even then not without some sense of loss. All that I have written here would be misleading were I not to conclude with an expression of honest enthusi- asm for the new core curriculum which displaces 113. Its rationale is. though very different, excitingly viable. The relevant judgment here can pertain only to that part identified as “the cul- tural heritage. Where that fits. I think, into our general patterns of thought about philosophy of Liberal Arts edu- cation is at the point of wanting that to include a common body of knowl- edge. What we at least have in com- mon. regardless of our special profes- sional interests, is a cultural heritage. The nice part about talking about her- itage however, is that it has a way of insistently breaking through our efforts to compress that into a body of knowledge.” Heritages move, and con- frontation with heritages always forces us to confront the rhythms or the spi- rals or the straight lines or the tumults or the forces. the aliveness of their movement. So. certainly without complaint or regret, and without sadness save as I now turn from something that I have lived with intensively for a long time. I say adieu to 113. It was a lot of fun! Dykstra 139 In something as traditional as the Greek world, it proves difficult to imagine any significant changes in their mode of operation. Try to tell that to the Centurians. After they were almost pronounced dead by interfraternity coroners, the group bounced back with a strong pledge class in '79. But that, in itself, has no particular relevance to the theme of this book. What has relevance is, perhaps, the start of a whole new ' tradition in Greek society by the Cents — the co-ed social fraternity.

S HarncJen H ope's Campus seems a little tired today: pledging has just been com- pleted The paddles are returned to the .vails, the notebooks are added to other college mementos in the box at the back of the closet and Phelps din- ing hall is back to normal. Independ- ents are proudly supporting their choices to remain outside the fraternal organizations while perhaps secretly wondering what, if anything, they will be missing Newly initiated actives, wearing strangely unfaded sweatshirts proclaim their organization to be best, while perhaps quietly asking them- selves what would have been different if they had accepted that other bid I do not think there is anyone who does not. at some time, question what each fraternity or sorority is “really like. Secrecy frames every one of these organizations, magnifying differ- ences and supporting an aura of dis- tinction for each After talking to office holders in every Greek organization. I have formed my own ideas as to how different each actually is from the other. But I do not want to bias your opinion. Let me tell you what I found out. and you can decide for yourself if your choice was the correct one. All the sororities and fraternities conduct ceremonies that are basically identical in each organization Candle- lights and pinnmgs are examples of these In a sorority, a candlelight is held as a ceremony to announce an engagement, pinning or the receipt of a pearl or opal by any member The person for whom the candlelight will be held is kept under wraps so that all ihe members can be told at the same time while all together. The President usually gets a phone call requesting a candlelight, and a day and time is arranged. During the ceremony, the women stand in a circle in their dark- ened sorority room and a candle is passed around It is always allowed to travel a full circle, signifying friendship If the candle is passed around twice before it is extinguished, a pin or pearl has been received Three times around the circuit and an engagement is announced The girl blowing out the candle is the member for which the ceremony is held Fraternity pinning ceremonies are not surrounded by a great deal of secrecy, as most people know when one will be occurring. Usually the fra- ternity will buy flowers for the girl receiving the pin or ring from their frat brother She will then be serenaded with a traditional pinning song by all the fraternity members Depending upon the specific frat. she may get to kiss every member of the organization, see a skit, or wrap a blanket around a scantily clothed, dripping wet boy- friend. Common to all the Greek organiza- tions is the growing awareness of dis- approval among many on campus of pledging activities and their purpose A few have chosen to review and revise planned activities for the pledg- ing period: others have simply become more vocal in their defense of the tra- ditional ceremonies. The Greeks do have a way of governing themselves. The Pan-Hellenic Board serves as a type-of 'overseer'' for the sororities The Interfraternity Council serves the same purpose for the fraternities Each group consists of a combination of members from each sorority or frater- nity. The Pan-Hel Board appears to be much stronger in its regulations than does the Interfraternity Council. Soror- ities are limited as to size of organiza- tion and dollar amounts spent for Rush activities. Fraternities are not bound by any such restrictions Whether such Pan-HeM FC 143 the weeks regulations are good or bad is obvi- ously debatable. Pro and con can be argued with equally justifiable reason- ing. I found no real cause for Pan- Hel's comparable strength and effec- tiveness. nor heard any real com- plaints against its rulings. Enough of common denominators. What about individual organizations? Alpha Gamma Phi The Alpha Phi’s, according to acting President Julie Drozd, view themselves as a diverse group of women. Each unique in her own way. every individ- ual adds something special to the group. Chris Boone. President for one A L P H A G A M M A P H I of three terms this year, suggested that students on campus tend to per- ceive the Alpha Phi's as more studious than members of the other large soror- ities. She. however, disagrees with this viewpoint, stating. “Just like any other group of individuals, we have our peo- ple who like to party and our people who study more. We are exactly alike in just one way; we all are members of the Alpha Phi’s.” Alpha Gamma Phi is working hard to stress the importance of becoming service and social oriented. They are. according to Julie Drozd, currently planning on organizing a developmen- tal committee which would emphasize involvement in the entire Holland area as well as on Hope's campus. During the past year, the sorority visited nursing homes, entertaining residents through song performances. They also worked with Higher Hori- zons providing shuttle service for Big Brother Big Sister events, and helped the Music Department with its Chil- dren’s Parade. When they have sur- plus funds, they will usually donate them to some non-profit organization. Surplus money has been scarce, how- ever. as the sorority has been working to keep dues as low as possible. Special events for the Alpha Phi's included a fall formal in Grand Rapids, a spring informal at the Lincoln Coun- try Club, a haynde and cookout With housing for Greek organiza- tions becoming such a controversy. I asked Julie and Chris if the Alpha Phi’s had any plans for acquiring a sorority house Julie told me they had inquired about a house, but had not pushed it any further. “If we got a house, she continued, “it wouldn't be for living in. We'd want it more for rush events and entertaining. We don’t ’want to segre- gate ourselves from other kids on campus. Alpha Gamma Phi had 19 pledges this year. Although much of pledging is kept secret. Chris Boone did tell me about the purposes of pledging as Alpha Gamma Phi sees it. “We want to unify the pledge class; make them depend on each other Also, teaching them about our history is important, and we want to get them to know each active on an individual basis. We review pledging practices every year Each activity has a purpose; if it didn’t, we wouldn’t use it. No matter what, though, every pledge is seen as an ] individual.

President, believes this is an achieve- ment of which to be proud We stress scholastic achievement as well as social involvement. But we re not all study and no fun. We are a diversified group of guys, and this is our strong- est quality. Arcadian is very active in the com- munity every year Events of this nature included their annual Christmas Party for Ottawa retarded children, and a project known as Dating for Dia- betes which they worked on with the help of the Delta Phi Sorority. We also have a lot of our guys involved in the Higher Horizons program, and we contribute in one way or the other to the March of Dimes every year. says Boelkins Special events are an important part of the fraternity's activity schedule. Not only did Arcadian hold its usual informal in Muskegon, they also had Christmas, rush week, and homecom- ing dances Other events included a Pine River canoe trip, a beach party with the Delphi's, and a square dance with Alpha Gamma Phi. Pledging for the Arkies included 37 pledges and not one de-pledge Mark explained to me that pledging prac- tices have been drastically altered this year. We want to stress fun times. says Boelkins We want to make them work, so that the accomplish- ment of becoming an active is mean- ingful But the work is all in fun We don't intentionally make it rough; that goes against the personality of our frat The hardest thing we make them do is group exercises. We do that to build a sort of team spirit We're work- ing on making pledging more positive, and we re stressing encouragement Basically, we want to give the pledge an excuse to meet as many people as possible, both inside and outside the frat FIRST ROW (from left to right) T Kasteo.

A Birner Centurian You may not have heard much from the Cents this year, but they were quite active considering they con- sisted of only three guys for the better part of the year They are also looking forward to becoming much stronger in the future The Cents see themselves as the tight-knit group they necessarily are. and they have made changes in their frat to ensure that it survives. Their biggest change, of course, was the fact that they went co-ed (one of their five pledges this year was female). Paul Hutchinson explained What started out as a joke soon became something we felt was worth fighting for We were kicked out of IFC for awhile, but now we’re back in. We used to be one of the biggest frats on campus, and we're trying to build our- selves up Right now we have a very strong local alumni backing, and they think we re doing a good thing. The Cents did not participate in many organized events due to their size, but they did have an informal with Kappa Chi Sorority in Grand Rapids, and frequent informal parties Pledging is probably more informal in this frat than in any other. Paul told me. We want to keep things in per- spective Pledges are not pledges 24 hours a day. Because of our size, we foster brotherhood in a better way. When we went co-ed. we toned down pledging a lot We don't want a situa- tion where pledges are forced against the actives. Centurian pledges do have to learn the history and tradition of their fraternity, but formal greetings and other such traditions have been eliminated. Says Hutchinson, “Our John Smeenge and Jane DeYoung win the Hot Lips (oc Hope contest sponsored by the Cos- moes and the Sigmas purpose is to make pledging a source of information about the actives and the frat. and to create an excuse for everyone to have some fun. Cosmopolitan Cosmopolitan is striving to be a fra- ternity unbound by their image During our talk. Dave Fetter, president in the fall of '79. told me. I don't want to see any specific image when I look at our frat. and I don't want others stereotyp- ing us. During rush we don't look for the mold Cosmo. The only way we want to be alike is in our enthusiasm for the frat and in our brotherhood. Dave also explained to me that the Cosmoes are stressing GPA more and more. We want to promote social and academic involvement more strongly this year than we have in the past. The Cosmoes were responsible along with the Sigma Sigma Sorority for the Hot Lips for Hope Kissing Booth this past winter. All the pro- ceeds from the booth went to the Can- cer Society. They also co-sponsor Chris Schroeder, a foster child from North Dakota, with the Delta Phi’s. Cosmopolitan was especially active this year with their special events Some of these included a car wash. Homecoming Dance for alumni, a fra- ternity ski weekend, canoe trips, and house parties. Dave and the other actives were pleased with their pledge class this year He explains, We got 18 pledges, which we consider a good turnout. We're glad it was a smaller class because we want to create unity ” Cosmoes are working hard to control what goes on during pledging. Organization seems to be the key fac- tor for them. Dave explained it to me in this way, When we re organized, the actives know where they're headed and how they are going to go about things When we have our heads together ourselves, we can show more concern for the pledges. We have no humiliating experiences for pledges where we purposefully embarrass them in front of the group. That's not 146 Centurian WATER (from tell to right) T Keaton. D Gebhard. J Paul.

S Harlow our purpose. The purpose of pledging is to initiate the members into the frat. We want them to have knowledge of the organization and of the actives. During pledging is when the sense of unity should begin. When questioned about Inquisition. Dave commented. Inquisition is the most important, and I admit, the toughest part of pledging. It is the actual initiation into the group. Basically, pledges are tested on their knowledge of the frat This year. Inquisition involved a very personal sort of feeling for everyone. We owe that to this year's pledgemasters I think we can be proud of the way it was conducted. Delta Phi The Delphi's see their sorority as being unique because of the combina- tion of different types of girls involved in the organization. I feel we have a lot of leaders in our sorority. Kathy Button. President, replied to my ques- tion of what type of girls joined the sorority As far as our involvement with other sororities, we have a com- bined Lit meeting with the Sigma's every year, but we don't do as much as we should The Delta Phi Sorority is quite active in the community and have a strong alumni backing. During the Thanksgiv- ing holiday, they made turkey baskets for underprivileged families in the area They co-sponsor a foster child with the Cosmoes. and during the Christmas season, make visitations to nursing homes where they entertain with car- ols, skits, and tray favors. Special events in the sorority included the traditional formal and informal dances plus a mother-daugh- ter tea. canoe trip, date night cfnd Pledge Initiation Dinner Delta Phi women also participated in intramural sports, the All College Sing and a tal- ent show with the Fraters. Pledging is changing for the Del- phi's as in other Greek organizations. A Greek Week production of the movie Grease Cosmopolitan 147 the weeks understand why things are being done a certam way That way. every girl's feelings are taken into consideration, and the pledge class is seen as a group of individuals Kathy does not feel they are as secre- tive as some other sororities We review our pledging rules and regula- tions every year. she told me. There is a purpose for everything the girls go through Every activity has to be approved by a % vote. Senseless prac- tical jokes are gone The Delphi's are also working to get actives more involved with the pledges, and to strengthen bonds between the actives and the pledge class. They are doing this in a variety of ways; Kathy men- tioned a few. We had 22 pledges this year It's impossible to spend as much time with each on an individual basis as we would like But we try. If an active gives a pledge an order or a task, she has to go along when they follow through This gives the two time to talk and get to know each other Also, each pledge is assigned a mother someone the pledge can talk to 'when she’s upset or doesn't Delta Phi Anne Karslen vocalizes tor the Greek Talent Show Emersonian The Emersomans are numbered among the frats who are trying to steer clear of a stereotypical image While speaking with both Chuck Eckman. and Paul Toren I was informed that the Emersonians emphasize the fact that people don’t lose their individuality when they join a fraternal organiza- tion.

The Emersonians also spon- sored a Christmas Party for Higher Horizons and donated to Unicef.

At one time, their guarantee to housing seemed questionable, as no one was able to locate the contract signed by the col- lege Explains Paul Toren. Luckily, one of our alumni still had a copy of the contract that he had kept Now the college is bound by its promise That puts in a unique situation We don't have to worry about quotas like a lot of the frats. We ll always have a frat house of some kind Pledging Emersonian is viewed as a positive integrating period. Chuck Eckman described the atmosphere surrounding pledging. It’s a very pos- itive time All our activities are tradi- tional and are meant to be fun But we stress academics too We have study nights and every pledge submits a class and work schedule in the begin- ning so activities are planned around these times. Toren added to this by commenting. We're working to improve GPA's in the frat. We also stress individuality We don't want to be known as simply 'the actives' any more than the pledges want to be seen only as 'the pledge class’. Everyone on campus seems to have a certain image in mind when they think of a Frater The members them- selves recognize this Commenting on this subject. Secretary Jay Peters said. People think we are really stuck up. A lot of the guys in the frat used to be jocks in high school, and we're used to playing that role But most people who get to know us find out that we are all a bunch of great guys. We are definitely a go-out-and-party type of group But that's why we get along with other frats and that's how other people on campus get a chance to know us better. Jay sees Fraternal's need for hous- ing not as a means of segregation but as a way to keep the frat from becom- ing divided He says. The closeness of our society is contingent upon our having a frat house The Fraters are looking forward to next year, expecting it to be excellent Every year they give a Christmas party at Lincoln school, complete with games, presents and even a Santa Claus (This year played by Jeff Palmer). An emphasis on more com- munity involvement is expected to be a part of Fraternal’s plans for next year This year 19 pledges were initiated into the fraternity.

'The Few and The Proud' so much power We do lose pledges the first week, but once they get past that first week, they stay I don't think I would ever want to go through my pledging again, but I don't regret it at all. Kappa Delta Chi Kappa Chi Sorority is not the largest sorority on campus, nor the best known. Founded in 1962. it has always been one of the smaller sorori- ties at Hope. Explained President Sherie Kornoelje. We're not worried about our on-campus image Most of the people who join are those who don't want to be associated with the images that go along with the bigger sororities. But we're planning on grow- ing larger, and I suppose you can't help but get an image as you become more well known on campus Problems are associated with run- ning a smaller sorority It's very hard to organize fund raising events. Because there are just a few of us. we each have to spend more time at any- thing we try to do. We can’t be as involved in community work as larger sororities, but we did organize some service projects like cleaning for eld- erly people in Holland.” Being small does not keep members from having a good time The Kappa Chi's had two informals this year, as DOWN (from left fo right) S Bratchie.

Knickerbocker lost Columbia House The frat petitioned the Campus Life Board, and many independents came to a special meeting to help the Kmcks get their house back In a final vote, the Columbia House was returned to the fraternity The Kmcks also had to work to get approval for pledging this year They held two rushes, one in the fall, and one m the spring To do this, permis- sion had to tx; granted by IFC After receiving IFC's blessings. the Kmcks initiated one pledge in the fall and ten during spring pledging Not much was said by Brad about the actual pledging traditions, but he did mention Black Maria “This is held the last night of pledging at Teusink's Pony farm All I can tell you is that everybody, pledges included, have one hell of a good time. Sigma lota Beta As a relatively new sorority, the Sibs are going strong After their block rush in 1977. the sorority according to President Lori Medema. completely turned around “Our sorority is uni- que. because the girls who are in it have made it what they want it to be We did revive some of the old tradi- tions that were almost forgotten, and turned the sorority into really some- thing special.

They held two rushes in order to build up the sorority and to give the first crop of new actives a chance to conduct at least one pledging before the older actives (all seniors) got away from them. Pledging for Kappa Chi's is less formal than for some sororities. “We don't make it hard at all. says Sherie “We do want them to spend some time getting to know us. so we have a lot of get-togethers. Actives don't have to be addressed and our pledging isn't public oriented at all. By the end of the year, we've all become very close to one another With a sorority our size, that's inevitable Knickerbocker According to Brad Ackerman, the Kmcks are a small, tight organization that puts on a good time for a lot of people. Partying seems to be what the Knicks do best Commenting on this. Brad said. Bruce Bera is a party animal, and the whole frat rallies around him For fifteen guys, we put on a lot of parties 150 people came to our biggest When asked about their image on campus. Ackerman replied that frats are like magazines The Pra- ters would be Sports Illustrated, and the Cosmoes are Playboy. But the Knicks. well we're High Times The Knicks put their party reputation to good use last winter before the legal drinking age became 21 years They held a Drinking for Dystrophy party People brought their own liquor and beer, but had to leave the bottles and cans. These were later returned to the store, and the refund money was donated to Muscular Dystrophy Even with all the partying, the Knicks must do some studying; their GPA stands at a not-too-bad level of 293 Knickerbocker found itself in the middle of a housing battle this year Housing contracts had to be in the day Knickerbocker 151 the weeks Drive and won the prize for the most blood donations They also joined efforts with their brother frat. the Knicks. in a Muscular Dystrophy drive and donated funds to the Special Olympics for retarded and handicap- ped children. Some of the Sib's special events included a winter sleigh ride, a formal dance, many informal house parties, and a hay ride. Pledging has been drastically changed in Sigma lota Beta. When the sorority went through its block rush, the only requirements for the new members were that the name stay the same and that the Homecoming Luncheon remain a tradition. We really made some big changes.” says Lori. We completely revised the con- stitution and set a lot of goals for our- selves as far as pledging is concerned. Secrecy isn't as important to us as much as having a sorority that is closely knit as a whole. We have no active vs. pledge activities at all. We also want the pledges to be responsi- ble for class unity. They must meet with each other individually and address each other by first and last names during the initial week. Study nights are stressed because it gives the girls a chance to be with actives individually and also because we require that a pledge's GPA stay the same or improve during pledging.” Sib pledges must also know the Holland area intimately. They are sent on errands to the Fire and Police stations, as well as President of the College. Gordon Van Wylen's house. We've also revised a pledging tradition which takes place downtown. explains Lori. The pledges have to go on 8th Street and sit on ladders with umbrellas and yell out the time and temperature. What we wanted in the long run. was for all 22 of our pledges to have a good time, get to know a lot of people, and become familiar and loyal to their sorority Sigma Sigma The Sigmas just may have the toughest reputation on campus, but President Jeanne Reynolds believes they are the best We are unique. I think, because we are one and we are many. We all belong to our sorority and have common goals to some extent. But we listen to individual needs and wants, then try to incorpo- rate them into our sorority. The Sigmas were active in the com- munity through their involvement with Senior citizens. Each member was assigned an elderly member of the community for whom she did house- hold work, yard chores, and visited regularly. The girls were also host- esses for the Jaycees Candy Cane Ball and worked in the Hot Lips for Hope Kissing Booth during this year's Cancer Drive. A Christmas Party for underprivileged children was organ- ized with the help of their brother fra- ternity. the Fraters. A Senior Tea to honor alumni was one of the traditional special events held this year. Some others Jeanne mentioned included a Lit Meeting with the Fraters. a car wash, a fall informal and spring formal. Sigma’s 23 pledges went through a tough pledging period this year. Jeanne defended the sorority's type of pledging by commenting. We believe in making it rough. It's hard being a pledge, but the other side of the fence is just as hard. That's what makes the system work. When you get done pledging, you don't regret it. and it's something you are really proud of. Our pledging is intense, especially the last week, but we aren't cruel; which is what we are accused of a lot. Our pur- FRONT: A Qoluyt FIRST ROW: B Ras. K Okker. C Klungle. K Neevel.

We don’t segregate actives and pledges We have weekly events where pledges and actives get together on an individual basis. We must do something right, because we have the strongest alumni association of any of the sororities.

The station was started in 1957 by a student named Richard Brockmeier; now, Professor Richard Brockmeier of the physics department. Located in Mandeville, WTAS received its call letters from the fraternal associations of its founder, (W-TAS stands for The Arcadian Station). The station has since grown into an operation that boasts of $30,000 worth of equipment and until this year has a reported listenership of 45% (the survey was based on a sampling of 1.000 students listening to the station five hours or more a week). Those figures changed markedly in the past year. The station conducted two surveys. The first was a random telephone survey from the student phone book Surveyors asked the question. “What radio station are you listening to right now?’' The survey was conducted for three days and when the results came in it was determined that no one was listening to WTAS during any of the phone calls In a second survey, a good campus cross section was chosen to receive a hand out questionnaire The results improved slightly to 1 %. John Hoekstra handled the general management of the station for 2' ? years Last year he decided to concentrate on improving his grade point average, so he handed the reigns to Tim Emmet, a sophomore from Jackson. Mich., who was elected by the 13 member management staff. According to Hoekstra, the following year (78-79) witnessed some disagreements within the management staff and consequently, several top positions resigned. In addition to managerial problems, some technical problems plagued the station. In the middle of the fall broadcasting season, a vandal tore an electrical connection loose in the basement of the Emersonian House As a result, the entire frat complex was cut off from WTAS signals. It is still undetermined who that vandal was or what was the motive behind his or her action Despite the disappointing results of the listenership survey, certain aspects of WTAS programming enjoyed a loyal following. The news department, under the direction of Jennifer Nielson, consisted of a full staff of reporters who consistently brought in the local news Regional news was gleaned from the Associated Press in cooperation with WHTC. a Holland radio station. WTAS also carried national reports in association with Mutual Radio. Sports programming was also successful in 78-79. Directed by Daven Claerbout and Dave Motz. the department covered football and basketball games with play-by-play broadcasting. Also, on Thursday and Sunday of each week, the sports department made presentations consisting of interviews, scores and sports editorials. At the end of the year. General Manager Tim Emmet appeared before the Student Appropriations Committee in an effort to get a budget approved for 1979-80 The going was rough and the session turned into a debate over whether the station should exist in light of its light listenership The jury is still out on that question but the committee still approved a modified version of Emmet's budget request John Hoekstra. who sat in attendance at the meeting commented on the justification for the radio station's existence. I feel very strongly that it should exist, there is a number of fairly reasonable type people who might take over at the end of the year (1979-80) and kick out some people.'' The Overtime's 155 OPUS Despite the turnover in the leadership of the organization, the Opus staff published its semi-annual literary magazine in the spring ol '79 The autumn issue of Opus was cancelled due to the resignation of editor Paul Daniels Daniels ran into difficulties when he tried to work the Opus editorship into an already chaotic theatre schedule The ex-editor felt that his time was restricted to the extent that it would affect the quality of the publication The Student Communication Media Committee then put on a search for a replacement Five applicants were considered and two were chosen to co-edit the publication Bnon Brooks and Sheryl Kornoelje were selected to the posts after each applicant underwent half-hour interviews. According to Brooks, the year was a success. A good diversity of contributions came in even though 90-95% were rejected by the staff. When selections are submitted to Opus. they are distributed among the staff members for review At a semi-monthly meeting, the contributions are voted on ■without any indication of who authored the work. Because of the high rejection rate, the spring publication was of rather limited size, according to Brooks. The success of Opus is not determined by the size of the publication the publication is only a small part, we are trying to create an interest in working with literature ... the success of Opus is geared by readings and how many contributed Throughout the term. Kornoelje took charge of the business matters including the budget, while Brooks handled the collection and distribution of copy Brion was also responsible for bringing the Drake to the college Mrs Drake is a poet while Mr Drake writes short stories. Both authors are instructors at Michigan State University and received a recommendation from Dr. Dirk Jellema Contributors to the magazine had the option of interviewing with the visiting authors for criticism of their work. The Drakes read in the student-faculty lounge and dine in Skiles courtesy of the Opus staff Said Brooks. It was fun taking them to Skiles. the conversation came easily in the informal setting Opus put up between S300 and $400 to bring the Drakes to campus, but Brooks asserts that it was well worth the investment. They were quite good, it was nice to have two people up there . . (at the readings). The actual publication of the Opus was released in late April It was the first year, according to Brooks, that the Opus staff solicited and published art work The magazine also included one photograph The magazine costs approximately SI 800 to produce, yet Brooks maintains that. We were limited in what we could spend because the preceding year's budget was over-spent and consequently they took it out of ours 156 OtviS ANCHOR The year was a dynamic one for the staff members of Hope s student newspaper, the anchor In the fall of '78. Dr. Charles Huttar joined the staff to assist them in setting up journalistic standards and practices for the publication of a student newspaper Ostensibly, standards did tighten as many writers, social groups and organizations found their submissions rejected on the basis that a good newspaper is not a bulletin board: indeed a very sound policy for an editorial staff, but controversial nonetheless. Prior to the start of the spring semester, the Student Communications Media Committee met with the editorial staff of the anchor to determine if Huttar should stay on with the publication lor another term. After interviewing the editor-in- chief (Janet Shimmin). the associate editor (Doug Dykstra). the sports editor (Steve Nearpass), and the copy editor (Jennifer Elliot), the committee decided that although Dr. Huttar had received excellent marks from the editorial staff, they no longer needed him. Whether that decision proved to be a wise one is a matter of opinion. Out goes the old. in comes the new.” is an appropriate phrase for the start of the spring semester. The anchor staff, now on its own without Huttar's advisory assistance, decided to solicit a new publisher. The editors sent out letters to printers in the area describing the objectives, format, schedule, etc. of the paper. Out of approximately a dozen letters that were sent out. two responded with bids. The winning bidder was the Composing Room, who could make a very reasonable offer due. in part, to the fact that Dick Angstadt. a Hope alumnus formally with the anchor, worked for the company Angstadt decided to take this baby himself and paid a visit to the anchor office for consultations on the procedures of the company. The new working schedule for the anchor staff involved an in office copy deadline. Sunday, at 5 P M The evening was spent editing the copy that came in that afternoon On Monday, the copy was dropped off at the designated location on 17th Street where it would be taken into Grand Rapids early the following morning. On Tuesday, in the evening, the galleys (typeset columns) would be returned to the anchor office where the staff would proceed to do a paste- up of the paper. Approximately 80% of the paper would be ready at this point The rest, in the forms of miscellaneous late articles and editorials, would be brought directly to the Composing Room in Grand Rapids by the anchor staff on Wednesday afternoon Once at the Composing Room, the staff would spend the rest of the day finishing the layout of the paper (including leftover copy and advertisements). The overall move to a new printer added to the control that the staff had over the linal composition of the paper, but. to gain this flexibility, staff members had to dedicate almost half of their school week to the printing of each issue Anchor 157 S.A.C. The Student Activities Committee set a pace in 78-79 that will be difficult to match in years to come. This high energy student organization had its hands in much more than the traditional events of Nykerk, The Pull and May Day. The coffeehouse was heavily trafficked by talent from Grand Rapids, Milwaukee, Chicago, lower Illinois. New York and elsewhere Songsmith James Durst and bluegrass band Cabbage Crik spearheaded the coffeehouse season, the latter in the Kletz for Homecoming, the former in the Pit. The Pit. in fact, was played by myriad artists, including Spheerisand Voudouris on piano and guitar and Mad Cat. a jazz, funk and blues artist featuring the madelin and harmonica. Guitarists Doug Howell and Tom Bartha also performed in the Pit as well as Michael Jerling and Cindy Mangsen who presented their version of guitared folklore. Another accoustic guitar duo. Wood Dancer, was immensely popular with Pit enthusiasts. In Wicher's Auditorium. Erin Isaac and Dan Tinen performed on the piano; Erin in song and Dan through electric amplification. The Studio Theatre was the site of a dance and guitar performance by One Plus One. SAC also sponsored some very local artists; on Parent's Weekend students were exposed to a faculty talent show followed by a student showcase on November 18. SAC brought 26 films to campus throughout the year including: The Omen. What's Up Doc. Murder by Death. Jesus Christ Superstar. Funny Girl. The Sound of Music and Silver Streak. With an expenditure of over $6,000 and paying close to $500 for some movies, the SAC film series consistently brought in the flick lovers. The year's three most popular films at Hope: The Goodbye Girl. M A S H. and Young Frankenstein were all attended by over 450 students (597. 478 and 459 respectively). The committee also sponsored 7 dances. Hope inhabitants hoofed to the Whiz Kids after The Pull and Heavensworth on the night of Nykerk Pure Pleasure entertained for orientation week and Cat and Company provided the tunes for a September disco And if that wasn't enough, a square dance was called on 12th Street, the band Squeeze was on stage for Casino Night and Masquerade stimulated the movement May Day evening. SAC brought in the bands for Winter Fantasia (see pg. 30-31). In the early fall. SAC took advantage of the closing of 12th Street, as it did many times, for the dishing up of smores (a graham cracker, milk chocolate and marshmallow confectionary delight). A concert by Josh White and several shopping trips also found their way onto the SAC social calendar FRONT ROW (from left to right) M Vaseloupelis. G Vanden Hombergh. T Proos, S Ward.

Instead, the Congress deals with problems that come to the attention of Student Congress members by setting up individual task forces. The competition for representation is rather mild, with the geographic exception of the frat house area. The frats typically put up a whole slate of candidates to fill just a few positions. Says Vander Wei. Frats feel the most pressure to elect someone well qualified because they have many interests to protect. In many respects, the Student Congress had a typical year Once again, officers were elected in the spring of 79 The officers for 78-79 were Dave Leenhoets, Brad Bingel and Jon Schmidt as president, first vice-president and second vice-president, respectively. Representatives were elected in the month of September from the general living areas Congress members sit on the major boards of the College including the Campus Life Board, the Administrative Affairs Board and the Academic Affairs Board The Student Congress meets every week and they work with an agenda set by the president and his cabinet officers In the area of appropriations, activity was rather quiet, probably for the reason that students know little of its existence. The student appropriations committee, chaired by Jon Schmidt, financed such student requests as the Stratford trip, an Ultimate Frisbee team, student attendance to certain media conventions, the leadership workshop at Marigold Lodge and some miscellaneous small requests The committee also appropriates funds for student organizational budgets Any surplus in these budgets is carried over to the next year. Presently, there is about a $10- 15.000 on hand in what is termed a contingency fund The appropriations of funds is determined by the worth of the requests submitted. Says Vander Wei. It helps to be new and creative in addition to asking for funds for a project that is in the interest of the student body at large In other Student Congress activity. Jon Schmidt got behind a drive to restore the pinball machines to the basement of the De Witt Cultural Center, but efforts were defeated A project that the Student Congress was forced to deal with that was not so typical was the Phelp s Hall Fund Raising Drive SAGA proposed to give S50.000 to the project drive and match any amount of money the Student Congress could come up with Vander Wei says that the Congress was not really interested in the project and consequently raised only S3.000 FRONT ROW [from left lo right): J Schmtdl.D Leenhoets.

Several groups come under the aegis of the MOCP. including the Federation of Christian Athletes. Bible Studies. Volunteer Services. Inter- varsity. Chapel Services and a relatively new group that experiments in creative worship. The Creative Worship team is headed up by senior Celaine Bouma. The group sent out letters to the area churches in Muskegon. Holland, and Grand Rapids. Bouma points out that the response was phenomenal. We booked services for every other week. Most of the worship services were conducted in the evening. The students set out with three different creative worship services, but. We ended up designing a new creative worship service for every church. said Bouma. We did everything from sermons to dramatics, yet we were always liturgical, concentrating on three areas: the approach to God. the Word of God. the response to God we sang, used flutes and guitars, showed movies and held discussion groups The Creative Worship group did several services on Hope's campus in the fall of '78 and branched out in the spring term. The benefits were not monetary. We never asked for an offering. but rather. Bouma said. We got to know each other so well... kids from every different major participated, they were apprehensive at first, but totally lost their inhibitions... toward the end of the season the group was almost squirrely 160 mocp A-PHI-O FRONT ROW (from loll to nght) Mr Stekeilf.

Ms. Topp joined the staff in the summer of 78 as Director of Career Development and Placement and finds herself dealing with student pleas that run the gamut of the problematic; from, I'm not cutting it in pre-med, to How do I prepare my resume7 She does the majority of her work through workshops such as Live Work Planning and Creative Job Hunting, which are held on campus throughout each semester. Several of the dorms on campus have invited Dar for a visit. Ms Topp made it to the Dykstra Hall Halloween Party as a Western hobo, while Kollen Hall scheduled her in for a talk on Confidence, Conversation and Social Success. which included a few tips on how to flirt; here are four of those tips. First, you are a person, created by God with permission to live, to laugh, to love and be loved, to serve and be served. Second, recognize that the opposite sex are human beings; that the date will not be a Close Encounter of the Third Kind Third, remember your date as a person, who just happens to be male or female and he or she will remember to treat you as a person. Finally, men should do gentlemanly things while women must remember to be careful of the way in which they advertise themselves — they may get what they're apparently asking for. Topp goes on to stress the importance of carrying yourself as il to look and feel confident. Remember the importance of eye contact. Dar Topp obtained her experience through a M.A in Communication Students with an Emphasis in Interpersonal Communications and a B.A. in Communication Studies with a minor in Psychology from the California State University in Sacramento.

Professor Terry Moore began his practice in violin. Young Moore's budding career began to bloom during his junior high school years as his interest and ability heightened greatly. Since then he has taken lessons intermittently performing with various sized groups. Moore received his Bachelor of Music degree from Indiana State University at Bloomington. Upon graduation, he enlisted in the Army so he would be able to continue his musical career. Since the Army only required a few hours each week, he was able to earn his Master of Music from the Catholic University of Music in Washington, DC. While in the Army, he played with the Strolling Strings, a performing group that entertained at such places as the State Department and for such dignitaries as former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and former President and Mrs. Nixon. Moore came to Hope in the fall of 75 teaching violin and viola lessons and coaching chamber music groups. Included in his course schedule is an Introduction to Music class and a study of Wagner. Says Moore, ‘‘I enjoy my teaching position because I am constantly shifting gears from classes, to private lessons, to the coaching of small groups... Hope is a great school with a distinct personality.” Barrie Richardson Professor of Economics and Bus. Ad.

The residence hall on 1 2th Street has long been rented to Hope by Western Theological Seminary and has long been known for the Zwemer-types the building has bred over the years. It will be a parting between old friends for the many students who lived there and came to know the joys of throwing miscellaneous grossities at the Cosmo House; not that such behavior was not reciprocated. Was Zwemer Hall Hope College's own Delta House? Not quite. But it does seem strangely odd that the once harrowing halls of Zwemer will be replaced by the hallowed halls of a six- story Western Theological Seminary library.

The first semi-annual International Food Fair proved to be a remarkable success in the middle of the fall of '78 thanks to the conscientious efforts of the Interna- tional Relations Club. Dishes were prepared weeks in advance; freezing, whipping up sauces, ordering paper plates and plastic silver- ware. Each cook was responsible to buy his or her own ingredients and practice their culinary art in expectation of serving 50-100 student pallates. The international menu included everything from a whoopie, lasagna, egg rolls and a Chinese pork dumpling called Guo-tieh to Persian meat balls, French crepes, fried rice, curry, and a Japanese rice ball called Sushi. The cost of the food-fest was defrayed by the price of coupons which could be redeemed for food. Coupons came in 25 and 50 cent denominations. Richard Traylor, a talented artist whose cartoons frequently appeared in the anchor, handled the publicity for the event. The crowd on hand numbered between 400 and 600. “It was a group effort, people helped each other . . . you get closer together when you work together,” said Moira Poppen, a junior from Flem- ington, NJ. and secretary of the Inter- national Relations Club. Poppen went on to say that, “The first question everyone asks when they get to the serving tables is, 'What's in it'?'' 180 Clark-Cochran Gretchen L.

Every year, the graduating senior Art majors hold a Senior Show — a final exhibition of their studio work done at Hope. Each student chooses the work she he exhibits. For some it may be more of a retrospective show, while others may show a very recent body of work, or series. This year, five Art majors graduated. They pul together an all-woman multi-media show that was well done and elicited a favorable response from all that came to see if. Because of the fact that the five women were a rather diverse group before this cumulative effort, they chose The Unknown Senior Art Majors” as the title for their exhibition. In the order on the poster, they were: Lisa Lane — painting and sculpture, Darcy Shearer — draw- ing and painting, Ericka Peterson — sculpture and ceram- ics, Paulo VanderWall — painting, sculpture and ceram- ics, and Sue Gibbs — drawing ond painting.

E Blauw Seeing Red, While and Blue in Your Sleep With the travel expense blessings of the Chaplain's Office, 1 3 Hope stu- dents set out on a trip to the Edgewood Ranch located just southwest of Orlando, Florida. Seven women and five men worked the ranch which is actually a boarding school for juveniles from problem families. Students come primarily from broken homes; many have been abused. One child was reportedly locked in a closet until the age of four. A non-denominational institution with o baptist influence, the school is highly regimented. Students are sub- jected to a structured program that fea- tures a discipline which reaches right into the juvenile closet (students are required to hang their clothes exactly one inch apart). In addition to the clothes hanging routine, all students are up of six every morning cleaning their cottages and executing their duties on a rotating K.P. system. The young men and women then go to breakfast after which they gather around the flag for a daily dis- play of patriotism involving a salute to the flag and the pledge of allegiance. The 50 students, 45 boys and 6 girls, are also required to wear red, white and blue uniforms. The patriotism extends to the class- room where instead of raising their hands to gain the attention of the teacher, students must wave their mini- American flag. The school curriculum, which is getting broad attention, partic- ularly in southern Christian schools, is completely individualized. Each student pursues a program that is tailored to his or her abilities; therefore, he works at his own pace. Hope students helped with the tutor- ing while also painting cottages, the dining area and the chapel. The Hopeites also sow kitchen patrol duty that gave them some valuable apple peeling experience. The ranch rewarded the collegiotes by giving them an all-expense paid day at Disney World. According to Leigh DeWolf, the pro- gram, serves a purpose . . . gets kids into a routine and allows parents to get themselves in order. Many parents actually pay for their child's stay at the ranch which includes kids from age 6 to 16. Students are allowed to go home for one month in the summer. Parents are encouraged to participate in the camp activities throughout the year. If a parent cannot pay the tuition, the child is admitted at the camp's expense. According to Steve Prediger, the entire operation is run on faith. There is an incredible emphasis on prayer. Ranchers are fond of relating the story of when the kitchen ran short of butter. A staff member suggested that the group not only pray for butter, but pray specifically for Blue Bonnet. Two hours later a truck rolled into the ranch that had encountered some difficulty on the highway. The driver was desperately looking for a place to unload his cargo — a shipment of Blue Bonnet butter. Prediger also pointed out that the facility was running at a deficit of well into the thousands of dollars at the time of their arrival in late December. Yet, by the first of January, through exten- sive proyer, sufficient funds had been contributed to balance the budget. The ranch has an elementary and a high school. The entire educational process is closely tied in with scripture. For example, when learning of the structure of the eye, students also learn the Bible verse, if the eye is sound, the body is sound. In spite of the rigid discipline and regimentation, the kids are very affec- tionate, os if affection had been missing in their lives before coming to the ranch. The camp is very successful in getting the parents to change their atti- tude and behavior toward the child. The campers are not the only ones edu- cated at the Edgewood Ranch. 13 Hope students came away with an enriched view of education and rehabil- itation,- impressed by a program that not only educates the child, but also the parents. 1S4 Florida Trip Shuji Harada Special Student Catherine Heise Business Administration English La'iren Hellstrom Chemistry Biology Deborah Hess Special Education Mark Higgins Communications John Hoekstra Physics David Hoos Political Science Catherine Howanstine Spanish Patricia Hurtord Business Admmistration Psychotogy Barbara Ingham Liberal Arts La ry Jackson Psychology-Sociology Steven Jelensperger Psychology Calvin Jellema Business Administration Sandra Jenkins Humanities Thomas Jennings Business Administration David Jurgensen Economy Sue Kallemyn Psychology David Kammeraad Economics Business Administration Pamela Kammeraad Theatre Alice Kane Political Science Harada Kane 185 Nancy Kasmersky Recreation Composite Kiyotaka Kawabata Political Science Sandra Kelley Special Education Heather King Sociology Biology Stephen Klem Chemistry Elizabeth Knecht English Paul Knoll Chemistry German Donna Kocher Business Administration Dan Kolean Humanities Douglas Koopman Mathematics Sheryl Kornoelje Business Administration Beth Kragt Humanities Lauri Kremers Psychology-Sociology Aurther Kurtze Mathematics Nancy Lampman History Thomas Langejans Mus� c Education Philip Larink Religion Carol Learned Psychotogy Biology Cynthia Lee Theatre David Leenhouts Psychology 186 Kasmersky-Leenhouts Bunko Get those books off my counter. How do you expect me to get these uni- forms folded with all your junk in the way? A passerby, catching only a portion of this exclamation may hasten his steps into the locker room to avoid the angry confrontation. Shoving my books aside, I laugh easily because this is Bunko; always teasing, always joking, always one step ahead of the student. He can best be described as a lifter of spirits. No matter how overwhelming papers, projects and exams become, one shout from Bunko, Hi kid, how’s it goin'? and the day becomes much brighter, much more bearable. A few students pass by and I ask them what they think of Bunko, alias Norm Jappinga, You know, his job as equipment manager is much more than a job to him ..He takes interest in us as people — all of us feel special because with Bunko you are somebody, someone who is important. One of Bunko's greatest qualities is that whether you are an athlete, score- keeper, trainer or someone who is not even involved in athletics, he possesses a sincere desire to know you — he's super. As Bunko continues folding the uni- forms for tonight's game, he spots one lone sock amidst ten other complete pairs, You know that crazy Peterson never turns in his socks. I� will be a happy day when I figure that kid out From the washroom, a buzzer sounds, signaling that a load of clothes is dry. Eggs are done, yells Bunko as he disappears into the back room.

This is a common practice for me, but that night was noticeably different; I was feeling the loss of Mrs. ‘T.’ I thought to myself: How can I best rep- resent the feeling of the many students who came to know her? Realizing that it would be impossible to speak about what she meant to hundreds of choir members, it occurred to me that there was an underlying quality in all of her relationships. This quality being that she warmly touched our lives and we are so much more because of it. Her sincere ways, gentle kindness and gen- uine concern will greatly be missed by all of us. On choir tour we will espe- cially sense the emptiness; she added a touch of elegance wherever we tra- velled. After several performances, some days tend to be tiresome, but she had a beautiful way of lifting spirits and making us feel so good about our- selves. So I can't help but smile when I think of how much she is instilled in all of us. I'd like to read for you now a pas- sage entitled, Bits and Pieces from the book. Cod Is No Fool, by Lois Che- ney. It speaks of people moving in and out of each other's lives — like Mrs. T, who touched so many Hope students. Bits and Pieces Bits and Pieces People, People important to you, people unimportant to you cross your life, touch it with life and carelessness and move on. There are people who leave you and you breathe a sigh of relief and wonder why you ever came into contact with them. There are peo- ple who leave you and you breathe a sigh of remorse and wonder why they had to go away and leave such a gap- ing hole. Children leave parents; friends leave friends. Acquaintances move on. People change homes. Peo- ple grow apart. Enemies hate and move on. Friends love and move on. You think on the many who have moved into your hazy memory. You look on those present and wonder. I believe in God's master plan in lives. He moves people in and out of each other’s lives, and each leaves his mark on the other. You find you are made up of bits and pieces of all who ever touched your life, and you are more because of it, and you would be less if they had not touched you. Pray God that you accept the bits and pieces in humility and wonder, and never question and never regret.

She is realizing her dreams in techni- color and taking care of unfinished bus- iness with aplomb. 'I was raised by par- ents who said I could accomplish what- ever I put my mind to if I worked hard enough,' she says. At the moment, she is earning straight A's at Hope College, cooking and caring for five children, keeping up o six-bedroom home and making clothes for her daughters. She barely has time for her needlepoint and bridge Pa LaFontaine is also the No. 5 sin- gles player on the Hope College wom- en's team. No ostounding athletic feat itself, except that she plays against girls half her own age. And she wins. . . . Next winter, she will receive her bachelor's degree in business adminis- tration and then set about studying for her CPA. 'It's like a whole new life for me,' she was saying at her home in Holland. 'What with the kids grown (her young- est, Jeff, is 10), it was a good time in my life to go back to college. I took 1 7 years off to marry and have a family, so I figured I better do it before my four teenagers are in college.' LaFontaine is carrying a full aca- demic load, 15 credits. She catches up on her housework on Mondays, Wed- nesdays and Fridays, when she has only one class. Tuesdays and Thursdays she had three classes. She cleans part of her place before her 8 a.m. class, tears home after her 12:20 class to start dinner, and then dashes off for tennis practice. She returns in time to get the food on the table and then studies from 8:30 to midnight. 'I’m very, very tired by then,’ she notes. Her adventure with the Hope tennis team came about unexpectedly ... a friend, Don Dickenson, coaches Pat's 16 year old daughter Maureen and knew about the mother's talent. He asked Pat to try out for his Hope team and she made it. She has been a spendid addition to Dickenson's squad. She won in straight sets in both singles and doubles against Calvin College . . . LaFontaine's team- mates kiddingly call her 'Mom' but she has nothing but admiration for them. 'They pay me the highest compliment they can by treating me as a contempo- rary,' she enthuses. 'You couldn't find a nicer bunch of girls. It was such an opportunity, to just play tennis on a team, and Don is such a good teaching pro. . . ‘Holf-jokingly, he says my biggest strength is my experience, my maturity.' She spent five hours in her matches against Calvin, but came through unbowed. She is 5-feet-5, a taut 118 pounds and remarkably well-condi- tioned. 'For seven pregnancies, I guess that's not too bad,' she says with a modest grin. 'I've never been a runner, but I'm not much of a sitter, either. I’ve kept moving all my life.' Pat LaFontaine doesn't consider her- self liberated, certainly not in today's misuse of the word, because she has been a doer all her life. 'In the sfense. I've always been liberated,' she says, 'because I have a husband who has given me whatever cooperation and support I needed in anything I do. And my parents raised me to aim high. They never put anything in our way'.” 192 LaFontaine Tamara Schuilmg Psychology Steven Scott Biology Nancy Sells Communications Mark Seyfred Chemistry Richard Sharpe Communications Naohiko Shimizu English Literature Donald Shippy Psychology Ann Simpson Business Administration Economics Elizabeth Skinner Communications Jonathan Smeenge Psychology Lynne Spencer Humanities Karen Speolman Psychology Nancy Stiehler Religion Susan Stokoe Physical Education John Stout Psychology Business Administration Conrad Strauch, Jr. Religion Kent Suchecki Physical Education Leah Sunderlm Biology Heidi Sur Special Education Robert Synk Psychology Schu ng-Synk 193 Rae Syswerda Music Education Kikuko Takahashi Art Freda Teslik Biology Gloria Thome Physical Education Lynn Thornburg Humanities Cynthia Toellner Computer Science Mathematics Carl Toren Mathematics Robert Torresen Political Science Enghsh Raymond Vandegiessen Religion Janette Vandenberg Business Administration Christine Vanderkuy English Paula Vanderwall Art Sheri Vanderwerp Special Education Karen Vandonkelaar English Communications Deborah VanHoeven Political Science Beth VanKlompenberg Physical Education Catherine VanMater Psychology Brad VanPutten Psychology Sue Ann VanSkiver Psychology Sociology Ruth VanWylen Psychology Sociology 194 Syswerda-VanWyten Robert Vanwyngarden Philosophy Political Science John Vanzanten Business Administration Economics Christine Ventre Business Administration Sherie Veramay Art Beaker Quaffing Cutback ': s Tom Pearson takes to the high seas where drinking restrictions are a txt less restrictive It appeared on the ballot as Proposal D: to raise the minimum legal drinking age to 21. The Greeks panicked, the anchor edi- torialized, local establishment proprietors whined and the state of Michigan voted with a 75% majority to roll back the age minimum. The response on campus was more or less covert, but activities involving alcohol were basically always under cover. The college drinking policy did not change sig- nificantly, but it stiffened with the new legal backing. Actually, the returns are not all in con- cerning the impact of proposal D. Is the law a junior league prohibition? Can the law be effective? Or will we hove a situa- tion similar to that of a couple of decades ago when teenagers, with a thirst for something more than a Vernor's would get their older friends to pick up a bottle of Thunderbird, hop in the Chevy and make way for the back 40. That strange wine-like elixer. Thunder- bird, seemed to have a quasi-cultic follow- ing, as the poets of the day so aptly put into meter: What's the word? Thunderbird, What's the price? Forty-four twice. What's our motto? Kill the bottle. What's the reason? Grapes in season. The reaction to the state's new anti- dnnking campaign was varied VanWyngarden-Veramay 195 William VerHulst Sociology Both Visscher Business Administration Christopher Visscher Sociology Jane Visser English Hit Me If o rombling-gombling man (or woman) hoi the urge to break with the daily routine and get out ond be a big roller, hc'i got four spots to go: Reno, Las Vegas, Atlantic City and Holland. Listed right up there with the big names in high stakes gambling is Holland, Michigan, site of the 2nd annual Casino Night held at Hope College. For o SI admission charge, Hope students were entitled to a few chips, a drink, hors d’oe- uvcrs and a night at the game tables. Sue Ward was in charge of the Student Activities Committee sponsored event which brought in over 350 people. The exclusive night included $430 worth of rented equipment for craps, roulette, blackjack, dice in the cage and three different wheels. Those in attendance sampled punch arinks ond crackers and cheese while taking advantage of the gomes in the DeWitt Ballroom, folk enter- tainment in the Pit and a dance in the Kletz fea- turing the band Squeeze. Severol students and even a few faculty members were called upon to preside over the gaming tables. Dr. Starla Drum of the commu- nications department was one of those repre- senting the house as a blackjack dealer. Drum seems to think that she may hove found an alternate career, It was terrific ... I had a great time. The dealer never loses. I just wish I had a white shirt and arm bands like other dealers. No money winnings changed hands in the gombling even though SAC was required to put up $50 for a state gambling license. The games were actually an exercise in hoarding chips, only to turn them back in at the end of the night. Incapable of realizing the fruits of their betting labors, the gamblers seemed to rationalize the experience by viewing it as part of their liberal arts education. The question now remains as to whether the academic affairs board will expand the night into a three credit IDS 113 course offering.

Actually, only a small portion of the meat served at Community Day is 100% pure-ox. Most of the meat that makes up the roast beef sandwiches served at the event is just that — beef; in fact, over 1,000 pounds of prime rib is cooked up at Bil-Mar foods north of Holland to feed several thousand com- munity members and Hope students who join for an early autumn meal together. Supplementing the meat portion of the meal is 650 pounds of cabbage, 100 pounds of onions, 50 pounds of peppers, 300 pounds of celery and 360 dozen rolls. The event is traditionally held in early September on the day of the first Hope football home game. But, it wosn't always that way. The Ox Roost had its beginnings in 1966 to celebrate the centennial anniversary of Holland. Then-mayor Nelson Bosman wanted to stage a small festival where the commu- nity could welcome the Hope students bock to campus. If was also a chance for Hopeites, and many community members to see Windmill Island for the first time, even though many citizens have lived in Holland for years. In 1971, the event was held for the first time concomitantly with the Hope foot- ball game; open to the community free of charge. Bands from all over the area come to Community Day to entertain the ox tasters. The event is scheduled again for 1979 to dedicate the new municipal stadium. Says Vern Schipper, member of the Community Day committee, It's a great day because with the free foot- ball game, entertainment and meal, you get everything so cheap.

It is the quiet time for Saga, and Eliza- beth Smittcr (Bess to her friends) is grabbing a well deserved break from work. You and I know her as Granny, that sparkling young” woman who checks our I.D.’s, discusses the weather, and smiles through our dinner hour. I have to admit. I'm slightly nerv- ous about conducting this interview. After all, what items of interest can I pry out of Granny? I have a list of mun- dane questions prepared, and I figure I'll play it by ear after I've asked all of them. My fears are soon quieted, how- ever. I find Granny a spontaneous con- versationalist, and she inevitably answers every one of my questions before I can ask them. I figure you want to know a little of my history, she says, anticipating my first inquiry. “I was born right here in Holland on the corner of 17th and Columbia. I had 7 brothers and sisters and one of my brothers came here to Hope 51 years ago. then Granny fixes those blue eyes on me as if reading my thoughts and answers my next and unanswered question. I’ve been married twice, you know. My first husband and I lived in Grand Rapids for awhile. After he passed away in '66, I moved back to Holland and remarried a few years later. She suddenly notices that our coffee cups are empty. You'd like more cof- fee. Not a question, but a definite statement. Granny grabs our coffee cups before I can express refusal and hustles off for refills. As she hurries away, I wonder if I can work up the courage to ask her what her age will be on her next birthday. I don't have to wonder for long. She returns with the coffee and begins speaking again before she even sits down. I've been with Saga for 10 years, you know.” I can hear the pride in her voice. I'm going to be 79 this Thursday. And you can print that, too, if you want. I don’t care. Saga was the only place that would hire me 10 years ago because I was 69 years old. Bill Boyer gave me the job even though I was past retire- ment age. I cannot help readjusting my estima- tion of Saga after hearing this informa- tion. Granny is very fond of the organi- zation she works for. I enjoy working here because of the people and the work. I like it because I get activity. Both physical and mental. Only prob- lem is with all this food around, it's really hard not to get fat. We both laugh as she eyes her stomach and pats her hips. I tell her she looks pretty good to me, and Granny actually blushes. She is so busy being modest that I am able to ask her my next question before she answers it. I ask her how much longer she plans to work for Saga. I don't really know, she replies. I'm having cataract operations this May and I don't know if I'll be able to see well enough afterward to work.” Will she miss working at Saga? Of course. I've always been a working per- son. After my first husband passed away, I owned a children's store. The Beechwood Children’s Shop. I sold it when I got married.” And what about students? She thinks in general that we are improving. Oh, you all dress so much nicer than you did 10 years ago. Used to be all I saw in front of me was head-to-toe patches. And I think you're better behaved. Not half so many messes. But I wish students would leave the tops to the salt shakers alone. She smiles and shakes her head as if commenting on the actions of a spoiled grandchild. I look up from my pad to find her gazing at me as if to say, That's all you are going to get out of me. instead she says, Well, it's about time I got back to work. You just go ahead and print anything I told you, okay? She grabs our coffee cups and scurries them into the kitchen. I walk out shak- ing my head. An interesting interview with an amazing Granny.

The oddly dressed individual is often sighted in the Hope College area briskly making his way down the side- walk to an unknown destination. The Milestone stoff decided to inves- tigate the story after this picture came in from photo editor Jim Wecner. Weener took the picture on a chance shot ‘from the hip' that not only included the subject, but a surprisingly coincidental marquee positioned in the background. Coming up empty handed in obtain- ing any hard facts concerning this man, we decided to take stock in a few rumors. It was rumored that the Holland Board of Education was also concerned with the story behind this man. As the rumor went, they hod actually dealt with the problem of how to keep him away from designated school cross- ings. Unfortunately, the rumor proved to be just that, as our inquiry into its validity was met with a rather frigid, no comment. We also talked to several people who had observed the subject of this picture dining in Burger King. These dis- cussions revealed that the man nerv- ously dissected his Whopper into numerous bite-sized pieces giving each a careful inspection before ingestion. Taking this eating behavior into con- sideration, we speculated that the man was excessively neurotic, even para- noid, to the extent that he was overly protective of himself. But perhaps the most interesting rumor that we encountered was the one offered by Josceline Van Heest, a soph- omore from Delmar, New York. She reported that the goggle-garbed indi- vidual, according to what she had heard, was preparing for the inevitable end of the world. That final day would be ushered in by a deadly gas descend- ing from the heavens, annihilating all of life os we know it. Certainly no more than a rumor, but it would explain this man's most obvious protective cover- ing, for as Ms. Van Heest points out, the deadly gas affects the eyes first.

You're Blocking My Light The apparatus was all set. Curious students gathered around the bearded physics buff for a glimpse of what was about to be. And then, what was a glis- tening orb, slowly transformed into a crescent, signaling the arrival of an age-old, yet always fascinating celes- tial phenomenon — a solar eclipse. That bearded physics buff is Bill Dov- roes and his efforts to safely view the February 26, 1979 eclipse were prompted in part by the fact that this was the last solar eclipse over the conti- nental U.S. until 2017. Actually, only a 75%, partial eclipse was visible to Hope viewers. The path of totality began in the Pacific Ocean west of Washington, cutting northeast over Canada, and curving off and away toward Greenland. Scientists picked Winnipeg as the best place to observe total darkness. To make the most of that opportunity, professional observers as well as thousands of ama- teur eclipse enthusiasts came to the region with their rockets, cameras and telescopes for the solar blackout. No stunning revelations came out of viewing the eclipse, but as Time maga- zine reports, A strong motive for trek- king to Winnepeg is the sheer fun — or, as one scientist says, 'the orgasmic experience’ — of eclipse watching. Scientists were not the only ones viewing the eclipse. 20,000 amateurs equipped with cardboard-box viewers or aluminized Mylar screens sold at fast-food outlets, also took in the event. Back in Holland, the skies were a vivid blue and the partial eclipse was totally visible. Davroes used a tele- scope to project the partial eclipse. which occurred from about 11:15 to 12 noon, onto a white screen. Also on dis- play was a model representing the rela- tive positions of the earth, moon and sun. Particularly noticeable about the pre- mature darkness was just that — dark- ness. What was an unusually bright day for mid-winter, took on the appear- ance of the night conditions prior to an impending storm. The rather sudden loss of light was sufficient to disturb the already brief attention span of fourth- hour Hope students, or even prompt them to skip classes altogether. Those courageous enough to shoot right into the sun, photographed the sun-block. In fact, the title page (page 1) of the '79 yearbook is a picture of the sun during the eclipse. Crescents can be seen in the lens reflection pic- tured toward the lower left corner of the photograph. Celaine Lunar- Bouma demonstrates the relative position ot the moon, earth and sun Bouma's head serves as the moon in this display.

Scenes from famous operas were pre- sented by students participating in an opera workshop. Participants receive ' z hour of credit for the time that they dedicate to the project. But according to Miss Morrison, ... what a crime, so mony hours put in . . . so many people think that music is indeed a fringe benefit.” Portions of Mozort’s Impressario, Ros- sini's Barber of Seville and Menotti's Amahl and the Night Viiitors were featured as well as two selections from Gilbert and Sullivan entitled H.M.S. Pinafore and lolanthe, both of which were choreographed by senior Mike McFaden of Muskegon. Also in the spotlight was Bizet's Carmen ployed by junior Kim Nagy of Grand Haven. Carmen's don't grow on trees. You need the body, looks and voice ... Kim grew so much in the role, soid Morrison emphasizing the need to hond pick some of the performers. Students rehearsed on their own in addi- tion to regularly scheduled Tuesday, Wed- nesday and Thursday night sessions. A total of 50 students were involved, says Morri- son, Fantastic kids . . . nothing is too much for them. They sacrificed so much ... ate dinners between meals ... I brought donuts and coffee. The kids could study and sleep on the couch if they wanted ... we had a marvelous time together. Prof. Morrison put her best foot forward in an attempt to give the entire production a fessionol quality. Accompaniment was only provided by studonts, but also by f. Charles Aschbrenner. Costumes came m the theotre department. I feel thot we got a lot of singers excited nd interested in a production, says Morri- on. But she goes on to point out that the eol benefits of staging such a show is more han just musical, Developing the person was our main vista. This is what I feel is most important at Hope — developing the whole person.

Thot moy be the best way to describe Elfer- ida Steel, night manager of Skiles Tavern. 'Frieda' was born in a small town 25 miles northeast of Frankfurt, Germany. In 1955, she and her husband, a U.S. Army Sergeant, moved to the United States to her husbond's home-town of Holland, Michi- gan. If Hollond was her first stop in Amer- ica, then Skiles Tavern wos her first Ameri- can bor. Eflerida and the Skiles family became fast friends, and despite all urgings not to do so, she ignored contemporary taboos and entered by the front door of the Tavern when she wished to visit them. Shed 'Grampo' Skiles bought the build- ing on the southwest corner of 8th and Columbia in 1953. The site, first a grocery store and then a bar, quickly became estab- lished as Skiles Tavern. After her divorce, Elferida found herself at loose ends and accepted a position with the Tavern in 1963. Four years later. Shed's son David left Muskegon to help with the family business, ond took over after the death of 'Grampa' in 1969. It was David that began the long process of obtaining a hard liquor license; a nine year drive thot finally proved success- ful in February of 1978. After David Skiles' deoth in 1974, his widow, Donna, took over the business. Mrs. Skiles is the present owner. How did Skiles Tavern affect the commu- nity when it wos first established? Although the bar was publicly frowned upon, Elferida recalls how many community members would quietly slip in through the back door. In the more recent past, it has become the place for people from all walks of life to enjoy food and drink. The College has also had a change of foce over the years. When Elferida first began working in 1963, a Hope student wos not allowed in the Tavern, due to a drinking age minimum of 21 years. With the reloxing of the drinking age, the bar filled to copacity with a constituency of college students os high os 80%. Elferida hos seen a change in students in the post 2 or 3 years, especially at the beginning of o fall semester. College patrons are getting rowdier, taking things with them when they leave — pictures off the walls ond pitchers off the tobies (at a rote of 36 per week). But Elferida is fully capable of handling them, We don't need o bouncer, I bounce them out myself! Things do tend to calm down os the school year progresses. The recent tightening of the drinking age to 21 years has not changed Skiles' volume of business, according to Mrs. Steel. The management still views the bar as a family restaurant, and their customers look to them os a home-away-from-homc. When serving alcoholic beverages, they hove to be strict to protect themselves, but they are fair. As to the effect the change hos had on the stu- dents, Elferida has only one comment, I wish they could all come back. Elferida hos never forgotten where her roots are,- every summer she goes to Europe for a visit. Last summer she backpacked with a friend through eight countries. Despite her European wandersings, Elferida always comes back to Holland, ond os the college student's favorite bartendress, it would be difficult to imagine a Skiles Tavern without her.

Holbrook spent an entire academic year studying in Freetown, Sierra Leono, West Africa at the oldest col- lege in West Africa, Fourah Bay Col- lege. His course was part of the Kala- mazoo College foreign study program concentrating on West African litera- ture and the political and religious experience of West Africans. Holbrook believes that the best way to experience this diverse country is as o student. Says Holbrook, “There are many foreign businessmen and diplo- mats there and even the Peace Corps, who are always in a position of author- ity, as a student, I feel one comes on more equal terms. Those equal terms enabled Holbrook to sit in on several sessions of the canni- bal trials that were being heard in the courts in Freetown. Freetown itself is an exciting city. There is always some- thing going on, said Holbrook. Perhaps the most enlightening expe- rience for his Hope traveller involved academics. Says Holbrook, Academ- ics ore not very stimulating there and they work from a system of rote mem- ory. But Taylor Hollbrook's education in Freetown was extensive nonetheless, I have learned so much about the peo- ple and the culture that the rewards I have received are from that area. I have done a lot of travelling into the 'upcountry' of Sierra Leone and have spent time in villages that must have looked the same to the first explorers, Holbrook said. The experience also seemed to have given him a special appreciation. According to Holbrook, I must say that I have learned to appreciate the United States more and I look on it with a much more positive light than when I left. The forms of government and val- ues of the people of the United States seem more acceptable to me now after living in a place where these values dif- fer.” Reflecting on his incredibly diverse experience in Freetown, Holbrook said, The smells, the sounds, the exuber- ance and excitement of the traditional Sierra Leone culture can only be fully appreciated by actual encounter. But once experienced, those memories are grounded deep in the mind, and even though back in the United States, the memory of an often misunderstood Africa lives on.” 210 Malewitz-Munger Alan Murray Lora Muyskens Karen Nattress Cathy Nedervelt Pat Nelis Lori Nevlezer Oiane Nielsen Dave Nieuwkoop Diane Noort Sarah Norden Cheryl Norman Joel Otting Roxanne Overway Jon Parker Evelyn Parry Rick Perkins Cynthia Petrides Karen Petty Nancy Piatt Tom Picard Jeftrey Pool Laura Press Byron Prielipp Robin Prins Terri Pross Karen Puschel Ruth Pyle Melissa Raak Paul Ranville Raymond Rathbun Lora Rector Pete Rink Nancy Ritchie Fred Roberts Roger Roelots Robert Roos Doug Ruch Joel Russcher Diane Sadler Duane Salmon Linda Sampson Steve Sayer David Schackow Ken Schewe Richard Schlott Jon Schmidt Pamela Schmidt Cindy Schroeder Ronald Schut Debra Sells Cheryl Sheldon Michael Shields Bob Shoemaker Jofl Shoemaker Lon Sievert Christine Simpson Eric Sivertson Jett Sluggett Karen Smant John Soeter Robert Stearns Mark Stevens John Strain Murray-Stram 2t1 Dance V Dedicating seven hours of practice for each minute of stage performance, the company of Hope Dance-Five pre- sented their annual concert on April 26, 27 and 28. In addition to the work of Hope dancers and choreographers in jazz, tap, modern and contemporary pieces. Dance V fea- tured two guest artists, Patricia Brown and Luis M. Perez. Brown, an Upper Montclair, N.J. native, began her career with the New Jersey Bal- let School. Presently she is a member of the Joffery II Company of New York City. Ms. Brown recently completed a tour of California and Florida as a soloist with the Galaxy of Dancers. Perez, also with Joffery II, began his career in Florida and recently appeared on CBS-TV's, The Human Body.” Hope Dance is noted for its ability to draw a diversity of participating athletes. One such peripheral area that is not com- monly associated with dance is football. In 1979, such football standouts as punter Henry L. Loudermilk and safety Steve Pre- diger participated in the concert. Louder- milk performed in the Pythagorean Theory in addition to 3.1416 = Pie are Square Patricia Brown and Luis Perez Jeanmne Strainer Kathy Stratton Derk Strauch Cindy Swart Barb Tacoma Tami Tammen Cal Taylor Vicky TenHaken Garret TenHave Deb TerHaar Gretchen Thomas J.

Tom Borkes, another Hope football alumni, performed in Dance IV to improve his coordi- nation and footwork for football. After partic- ipating in the GLCA semester in New York City, Barkes joined on with a dance company. Mrs. Dorothy Wiley DeLong was honored at the April 28th performance with a Distin- guished Service Award. Mrs. DeLong gained recognition in the late 1940's when she intro- duced ballroom dancing to Holland young- sters in conjunction with after school activity programs. Her efforts were successful, but not without some initial protests from the commu- nity. She went on to establish her own private dance studio in Holland. Dance V was coordinated by Maxine DeBruyn and Michael Grindstaff. This particu- lar dance performance is the fifth in as many years and is considered the highest level of performance in the Hope dance program. Approximately 50-60 students were involved with the event in some way. Close to three dancers tried out for each dance position available, giving evidence of the popularity of the program.

The man sitting behind the desk is the Rev. Jerry Van Heest and os our time together progressed, I realized that the pace which prevails emanates from the occupont and not the surroundings. You know. Chaplain, the position you hold here on campus has many expecta- tions — students and professors hove an idea of what o Chaplain should be ... How do you perceive your role? He points out that the term 'role' in itself is a constricting word. He would be greatly hindered from achieving his maximum potential by con- stantly having to ask himself, Am I fulfilling this or that imago? Thus, the Chaplain views his particular niche in this way, To be here os a presence. I can only be who I om. He says this in such a laid back, hon- est manner that it makes me wonder how much more content and effective we oil could be if we would acknowledge who we arc, occept our limitations, as well as our gifts, and move on from there. In considering the Hope Chaplaincy, Rev. Von Heest sought feedback from certain people, especially his children: Tim, Greg and Joscelyn. They supported him, reassur- ing their father of his ability to interact effectively with collegiotcs. This view of his children carries over to the Hope student, I wont more input. For example, by distribut- ing leaflets ot worship I can get a better idea about sermon topics — whot the stu- dent would like to hear preached. Being a parent os well as a minister. Van Heest is well aware of how students are bombarded with new ideas, challenging previous methods of thought throughout their college years. Most always, there is a great deol of porenfol concern over the direction their children are headed; espe- cially in regard to their attitudes to the church. Van Heest sees himself as a bridge striving to help students determine whot their niche is, both during and after college. He hos on all-embracing attitude toward people, tailoring discussion and direction to the uniqueness of each individual. Some moy be struggling to solidify their pcrsonol relationship with Christ, some may be chal- lenging the Church's role in modern society and still others may be groping to find sin- cere Christians in an age where selfism seems to permeate motivation and purpose. I am a firm believer in the Church and what is capable of being accomplished through its people, soid Van Heest. A most welcome addition to Hope Col- lege, extremely genuine in his kindness and warmth. Chaplain Van Heest is truly a presence.

After the last loft post has been stashed in the Kollen Hall storage room, after the last meal has been crossed off your I.D., after the key has been turned in and $5 more dollars sit in your pocket, the town starts to come to life. All of those thousands of tulip bulbs lying latent throughout the winter break through with all of the psycho- delic colors of a Holland spring; Tulip Time is here. Tulips are not the only arrivals in May. Each year, well over a quarter of a million tourists visit Holland for the Tulip Time parade of bands. 1979 was different only in intensity as it was the 50th anniversary of the event. Since the average Hope student is in the loving arms of his or her family long before this phenomenal scenario unfolds. Milestone photo editor Jim Weener has provided a look at this tourist population's fascination with the tulip, and the festival that surrounds it.

Unfortunately, snags were encountered in both projects delaying the Phelps' expansion completion over 16 weeks and the Van Vleck resi- dence completion about 2 months. The Phelps Hall project was estimated to cost SI million but the most favorable bid received was for close to $1,170,000. Van Vleck residence hall, the oldest build- ing on campus, cost over 350,000 to reno- vate. 100,000 dollars came from members of the Women's League for Hope College. President Goron Van Wylen noted that the Phelps Hall project is of vital impor- tance because of the College's residential nature; more than 1,500 students take their meals on campus. The College's enrollment has increased fifty percent since the present Phelps din- ing room was constructed in 1960. The enlarged dining room will increase seating capacity from 350 to 675. The design reduces serving lines and creates an atmosphere conducive to more leisurely meals. The room will have four separate dining areas and can be adapted to permit the entire area to be used for banquets. The overall design of the dining room is important. According to Dr. Van Wylen, We are frying to promote an environ- ment where proper dining etiquette can be observed and appropriate table manners developed in a relaxed setting. Van Vleck was built in 1857 to house the Holland Academy, a preparatory school which was the forerunner of Hope. Van Vleck was designated an historical site by the State of Michigan in 1976. The College's architect, in collaboration with design consultants from the Herman Miller Company of Zeeland, Mich., have developed reconstruction plans to bring the building as close as possible to its orig- inal design. We believe it is important to preserve Hope's heritage and Van Vleck Hall offers a unique opportunity to do so,” said Van Wylen.
