Hope development program considered by Gerald Swieringa

In an a m b i t i o u s a t t e m p t to cope with the col lege ' s g rowing d e m a n d s for facil i t ies and long-range academic i m p r o v e m e n t s , Hope is cons ider ing inaugura t ing a vast capital p ro j ec t s p rogram the Build Hope C a m p a i g n .

T H E CAMPAIGN was presaged in a m e m o r a n d u m of F e b . 5, 1()7() f rom Dr. William DeMeester t o var ious m e m b e r s of the Board of Trus tees . DeMeester was recen t ly a p p o i n t e d to head the Build H o p e Campa ign .

In that m e m o r a n d u m , DeMees-ter s t a t ed , " L o n g range p l ann ing must he an integral ingredient in all of our d e l i b e r a t i o n s . " T h e p lanning he envis ioned would up-da te the col lege 's t en-year p lan ,

assessing the s t a t e of the p lan ' s progress, and aim di rec t ly at the feasibi l i ty of f u n d i n g the p lan .

AS S U C H , T H t Build H o p e C a m p a i g n is not so m u c h a radical new a p p r o a c h t o w a r d answer ing the col lege 's needs in the c o m i n g decade as it is a revi ta l iza t ion of the original plan wi th which the college h o p e d to c o n f r o n t the d e m a n d s of the present decade .

The Build H o p e Campa ign is divided in to t w o phases , the first r unn ing f r o m 1^72 to 1 ()77, and the s econd f r o m 1977 unti l 1()8(). T w o key ob jec t ives of phase one are a l ready near ing c o m p l e t i o n , the f u n d i n g and bui ld ing of the DeWitt Cu l tu ra l C e n t e r and the p roposed a c a d e m i c science cen-ter.

E X E C U T I V E v ice-pres ident of the college Clarence Hand log t en has a n n o u n c e d that t he college has secured the D e p a r t m e n t of Heal th E d u c a t i o n and Welfare grant for SI mil l ion and a HEW loan for S2 mil l ion to be used in the c o n s t r u c t i o n of the p roposed academic sc ience c e n t e r , " l o r all i n t en t s and p u r p o s e s , " Handlog-ten s t a t e d , " w e have f inanced this bu i ld ing .

IN T H E O R I G I N A L ten-year plan, the faci l i ty which was g ran ted thi rd pr ior i ty behind the a c a d e m i c sc ience center and the cu l tura l cen te r was a p roposed physical e d u c a t i o n cen te r . This facil i ty b e c o m e s the initial pri-mary ob jec t ive of the Build Hope C a m p a i g n .

T h e physical e d u c a t i o n center is seen as an " a l l - c a m p u s facil i ty of 8 5 , 0 0 0 squa re feet serving not only the col lege ' s in tercol legia te needs , but also the private recrea-t ional d e m a n d s of the s tuden t body and f a c u l t y , " accord ing t o Dr. Lawrence G r e e n , p rofessor of physical e d u c a t i o n .

AT P R E S E N T , Green s t a t ed , the Hope Vars i ty Club is a t t e m p t -ing to solicit f u n d s to meet the cost of a r c h i t e c t s ' plans, and a report on this campaign is expec-ted by h o m e c o m i n g .

Still a n o t h e r capi ta l p ro jec t of phase o n e is a social sciences and h u m a n i t i e s c en t e r . Accord ing t o the Build H o p e Campa ign pro-spec tus , " T h e plan is to re locate the social sc ience and h u m a n i t i e s d e p a r t m e n t s in the present science bui ld ing, which is s t ruc tu ra l ly sound and will be a d a p t e d to p rov ide exce l len t facil i t ies for these d e p a r t m e n t s . "

C U R R E N T L Y most of these d e p a r t m e n t s ' classes are housed on the s econd and third f loors of V a n R a a l t e Hall, a s t ruc tu re al-ready dec lared h a z a r d o u s by the s t a t e f ire marshal .

H a n d l o g t e n s t a t e d that it was the col lege 's i n t e n t i o n to phase ou t all c l a s s rooms in V a n R a a l t e by 1974. T h u s the renova t ion of the Sc ience Bui lding takes on an i m m i n e n t i m p o r t a n c e in the de-signs of t he Build Hope Campa ign .

A F I N A L faci l i ty r enova t ion foreseen in phase o n e of the c a m -paign is the d e v e l o p m e n t of a creat ive art e d u c a t i o n center in the Rusk bui ld ing on E. Eighth S t . T h e p r o s p e c t u s s ta tes , " T h i s buil-ding can prov ide ideal c o n d i t i o n s for teaching, and space is a d e q u a t e to inc lude the to ta l o p e r a t i o n s of the art d e p a r t m e n t . "

At p resen t , t he art d e p a r t m e n t occup ies space in the s t u d e n t lounge and s t u d y sect ions of Phelps Hall. By vacat ing the wo-m e n ' s res idence hall, the fac i l i ty may again be fu l ly uti l ized as a s t u d e n t res idence .

PHASE TWO of the campa ign calls fo r the c r ea t i on of two m o r e facil i t ies on the c a m p u s . T h e first of these is an admin i s t r a t ion cen-ter, made possible by the renova-tion of Vorhees Hall. With t h e dis t inct possibi l i ty existing t h a t V a n R a a l t e Hall may have to be razed, since it cannot be e f f i -c ient ly renova ted to mee t f i re regula t ions , the p ro jec t b e c o m e s of p r imary i m p o r t a n c e in the phase two p r o s p e c t u s .

F ina l ly , the college is consi-dering adding a wing to V a n Zoeren library t o provide space for t he s to rage of m ic ro f i lm , t a p e and o t h e r i n f o r m a t i o n . An a d d e d sidel ight of this pro jec t is the insta l la t ion of air c o n d i t i o n i n g t h r o u g h o u t the en t i re l ibrary.

THESE T H E N are the faci l i t ies the college h o p e s to erec t , r eno -vate and conver t on the c a m p u s .

DeMeester s t a t ed , " N o n e of these p ro jec t s is envis ioned at the expense of t he academic fi-nancial responsibi l i t ies of the col-lege, but all aim to enrich tha t a cademic a s p e c t . " In response to those academic responsibi l i t ies , the Build H o p e Campa ign e n c o m -

In its two years ol ex i s tence the C e n t e r has u n d e r g o n e physical as well as policy changes and is p resen t ly reviewing its overall abi l i ty to serve the c o m m u n i t y . S ta r t ing with a small ups ta i r s a p a r t m e n t in d o w n t o w n Hol land , the Cen te r has moved to larger q u a r t e r s , acqui r ing a r o o m y h o m e east of t o w n at 4 9 3 I-. 8 t h St .

T H E MOVE HAS b rough t the p rog ram grea ter o p p o r t u n i t i e s fo r t h e r a p y , but accord ing to Bob DeVries , a vo lun tee r in the pro-gram, it has placed the C e n t e r s o m e w h a t ou t s ide the m a i n s t r e a m of the act ivi t ies of Ho l l and ' s y o u t h . He said that it has resul ted in increased d i f f i cu l ty reach ing those with p rob lems .

" A year ago we saw q u i t e a few kids c o m i n g in wi th hard drug p rob l ems . At p resen t , we seem to have lost touch with those we wou ld most like to h e l p , " DeVries went on . Besides the p r o b l e m ot reaching hard drug abusers , he

p o i n t e d to a great d i f f i c u l t y in reach ing Mexican-Amer icans .

HE S T A T E D that m e t h o d s were being sought to he lp build I he c o n 11denee ol the Mex ican -Amer i cans in the pro-grain. Those at the c e n t e r say that part of the p rob l em is t he absence of C h i c a n o vo lun tee r s at the Cen-ter. I hey leel that s o m e m e t h o d must be devised to m a k e the C h i c a n o s i den t i fy with those in-volved in the p r o g r a m . At p resen t , the g r o u p is at a loss t o f ind out how to solicit help f r o m Mexican-A m e r i c a n s or reach Mexican-A m e r i c a n s w h o need he lp them-selves.

An i n a d e q u a t e s taff also ham-pers the work ings of the Cen te r . Many active vo lun t ee r s lef t the p r o g r a m at the end of t he s u m m e r to r e t u r n to s choo l .

In a d d i t i o n the cen-ter will receive, as in years pas t , f inanc ia l aid f r o m the Hol land C o m m u n i t y Uni ted Appea l .

Four Hope College anchor October 11, 1971

Forewarning From looking at Hope's 'daily bul let in, '

the casual observer wou ld th ink that l i t t le

occurs on campus of more significance than the chapel services in the morning and

f raterni ty and soror i ty l i terary meetings at

night. For h im this is probably satisfactory. But for the less disinteresed observer,

say a facul ty member or a student w i th the

feeling that all is not as i t should be at

Hope, reading the list of the times and

places of daily social and service events

must be somewhat f rustrat ing. For almost

total ly absent f rom the bul let in is any

reference to the when, where or what 's

happening of commit tee meetings. This is

unfor tunate. As Dr. Norman Nor ton , one of the

authors of the present commit tee struc-

ture, stressed, all commi t tee and board

meetings were intended to be open hear-

ings on the issues before them. Nor ton said

the open hearing concept is designed to

provide facu l ty , student and administrat ive

input at the lowest level, so that policies

that don ' t have the support of the student body and the facul ty do not consume the

t ime and energies of board members only

to be vetoed by the facul ty commi t tee of

the whole or the president.

And , de jure, all commit tee and board

meetings are open hearings. But fai lure to circulate knowledge of meeting places and

agendas makes most of these sessions pri-

vate. They need not be so. A simple provision

could make all commit tee and board meet-

ings readily accessible to the entire campus commun i t y . A l l board and commit tee

chairmen or secretaries should be required

to place announcements in the Dai ly Bul-

letin one or two days before scheduled meetings. The announcement should list

the commit tee, the t ime, the place and the

agenda. This is a rather small change. But if it

were effected, the increased accessibility of the organs of campus governance to people w i th ideas just might lead to bigger changes.

After the Pull The 73rd annual Pull wh ich took place

Friday was an excruciat ing two-hour batt le

punctuated by grimaces f rom the team

members and snarling obscenities f rom the

coaches and some of the more mi l i tant

fans. Among the results of the contest were

chills and boredom for most of the specta-

tors, near-emotional collapse for some of

the part icipants and actual physical col-

lapse for others. The returns on this investment of pain

and ennui supposedly include the perpet-

uat ion of a t rad i t ion and a healthy sense of

class r ivalry. However, i t seems doubt fu l that either of these purposes is t ru ly served

by the Pull as it now exists. Had the " i m p r o m p t u tug of wa r " which

took place in 1898 been the kind of gr im

struggle that was endured Fr iday, it wou ld probably not have been perpetuated. The

spirit of '98 was lost somewhere en route

to 1971.

Readers speak out

The value of the Pull as an event

genuinely enjoyed by the whole commun-

ity has been destroyed by too much

structur ing and too much scientif ic tech-

nique. As a result, the contest has become

almost maudl in in its seriousness, as well as

a real hazard to the health of the partici-

pants.

A few simple changes could restore the

pull to its original intent . An arbi trary

one-hour t ime l im i t or a series of enforced

rest periods wou ld mitigate the physical

hardship endured by the team members.

The e l iminat ion of pits and formal practice sessions, and measures al lowing for the

part ic ipat ion of a larger number of stu-

dents, wou ld all do much to reduce the

over-serious, exclusive tone of the contest.

If, by measures such as these, the Pull could attract enthusiastic part ic ipat ion by

a major i t y of students, its wo r t h and meaning as a t rad i t ion wou ld be restored.

When we read tha t t o d a y , t he first Greek we th ink of is Socra tes , and the wi sdom of the wor ld is, of course , p h i l o s o p h y .

And w h e n we read f u r t h e r , " D o no t be deceived by argu-m e n t s , n o m a t t e r h o w g o o d they seem to be , b u t ho ld fast t o y o u r f a i t h , " we begin to suspec t tha t a c o m m i t m e n t to reason is n o t h i n g less than a t icket t o hell .

The necessity of uiolence by Bob Blanton

" T h i s c o u n t r y was born of v io lence . Vio lence is as amer-ican as che r ry pie. Black peop le have noways been v io len t , but our v io lence has a lways been d i r ec t ed t oward each o t h e r . If nonv io l ence is t o be p r a c t i c e d , then it shou ld be p rac t i ced in our c o m m u n i t y and end t h e r e . "

H. R a p Brown , D e t r o i t . 1967

Vio lence is no t a new p h e n o m -enon t o Amer i cans . He w h o would r e f u t e A m e r i c a ' s violent t r ad i t i on would also have to ig-nore h i s to ry itself. T h e h i s to ry of Amer ica , of the w e s t w a r d expan -sion, t he i n s t i t u t i on of s lavery, the KKK. the T r a d e Union move-ment , t h e Korean War, t he Viet-nam War and the a t o m i c b o m b is indeed t h e h i s to ry of a violent soc ie ty .

IT DOES NOT m a t t e r w h e t h e r v io lence is ra t ional or i r ra t iona l or s imply the r e su r r ec t i on of " s a v a g e " ins t incts . The po in t is that v io lence is an e v e r y d a y oc-cu rence . in this soc i e ty .

V io l ence is a m e a n s lor achiev-ing goals which is s e l d o m , it ever, ignored. I h e r e f o r e it s h o u l d not be surpr i s ing that black peop le will a lso choose violence as a means f o r o b t a i n i n g des i rable and j u s t i f i ab l e goals.

Let m e exp la in . We live in a society w h e r e b lacks are o p p r e s s e d , exp lo i t ed and d e h u m a n i z e d . This is not , nor has it b e e n , a non-vio lent process . In fact it has been and c o n t i n u e s to be q u i t e v io lent .

IT IS D O U B T F U L w h e t h e r Amer i can soc i e ty , wh ich is con-d i t i o n e d by fo rce and f o r c e a lone , can or will ever heed d e m a n d s that are not backed by force . Black peop le , the v i c t ims of Amer i ca ' s v iolent t r ad i t i on , k n o w by e x p e r i e n c e that v io lence in and of itself can c rea te a c o n d i t i o n for change .

Where vast inequa l i t i e s of power exis t , which is the case be tween b lacks and wh i t e s , the necess i ty for v io lence b e c o m e s ap-pa ren t . 1 am refer r ing here to v io lence which a ims at s o m e sort of pol i t ical ob jec t ive . T h e cen t ra l pol i t ical ob j ec t ive f o r black people is f r e e d o m .

Vio lence , in the fo rm of aggres-sion or self de fense , is necessary to a t t a in f r e e d o m . N o w h e r e on the face of this ea r th have a people l ibera ted themse lves with-out a violent s t ruggle . ( Y o u r f o u n d i n g f a the r s " k i c k e d the h e l l " out of the Bri t ish.) V io l ence is not only inevi table but necessary . Having wai ted 3 0 0 years a l r eady , f r e e d o m for black p e o p l e is a m a t t e r ol e x p e d i e n c y .

IT IS NOT i m p o r t a n t how whi tes feel a b o u t black violence . They have li t t le to be violent a b o u t . I hey haven ' t had a h is tory of be ing m u r d e r e d , r aped , inca rce ra ted and d e h u m a m / e d by their " f e l l o w " Amer i cans .

Non-v io lence , a p o p u l a r con-cept a m o n g whi tes (ma in ly because whi t e s are not the ones being k i cked , bea ten and spit u p o n ) , has b e c o m e an o b s o l e t e means, for black p e o p l e to gain

thei r f r e e d o m . Jean-Pau l Sar t re o n c e w r o t e ;

" I F V I O L E N C E began this very evening and if e x p l o i t a t i o n and o p p r e s s i o n had never ex i s ted on the e a r t h , p e r h a p s the s logans of non-v io lence might end the qua r re l . But if the who le regime, even y o u r non-v io len t ideas, are c o n d i t i o n e d by a t h o u s a n d year old o p p r e s s i o n , y o u r passivity serves only to place you in the ranks of t he o p p r e s s o r s . "

Non-v io lence is not prac t ica l for black peop le . Nat T u r n e r k n e w this as early as 1831 . T h e civil r i g h t s . m o v e m e n t proved it. F o u r bk̂ kHv girls were killed w h e n the—H^th St. C h u r c h in Birming-h a m , Ala., was b o m b e d - b y whi tes . J a m e s C h a n e y and t w o o t h e r civil r ights w o r k e r s were m u r d e r e d in M i s s i s s i p p i - b y whi tes . J i m m i e J a c k s o n was bea ten to d e a t h o u t s i d e Se lma by whi tes . T h e list of a t roc i t i e s is endless . {Whi tes c a n n o t have d o n e what t h e y ' v e d o n e to b lacks fo r h u n d r e d s of years and not expec t r e t r i b u t i o n . )

IF A M E R I C A HAS t aught b lacks a n y t h i n g w o r t h r e m e m b e r -ing, it is the fact tha t l ibe ra t ion can only he achieved t h r o u g h violence . She has s h o w n b lacks her ass and e x p e c t s t h e m to kiss it. but ins tead b l acks are go ing to kick it.

A w a r n i n g to a soc ie ty which suppresses the black m a n ' s need for f r e e d o m ; black p e o p l e mus t and shall he f ree . In o r d e r for this to c o m e a b o u t , a v io lent s t ruggle c a n n o t be avo ided .

S T U D E N T L I F E at H o p e dif-fers in m a n y ways f r o m the uni-versity p r o g r a m at Belgrade. F i rs t , the Yugos lavian degree p r o g r a m is longer in d u r a t i o n .

When asked f o r her impress ions of A m e r i c a n men , the 22 year old b lond smiled fo r a m o m e n t and then declared in a tone of fe igned ser iousness , "I haven ' t had any e x p e r i e n c e with t h e m !

of me rcu ry a year en te r s Lake Maca tawa f r o m the sewage treat-m e n t p lan t , which takes a b o u t o n e - f o u r t h of the i n f luen t mer-cury out of the wa te r . He po in t s ou t that at this t ime the t r e a t m e n t plant does not h a n d l e any indus-trial waste.

22 p o u n d s a year does not s o u n d like m u c h m e r c u r y ; it a m o u n t s t o a few pa r t s per bil l ion. Work which Klein did in Cal-i fornia indica tes that m e r c u r y c o n c e n t r a t e s in s e d i m e n t s and does en t e r the food cha in .

M E R C U R Y represen t s the t ype of t race poison which we will have to clean up m the f u t u r e . These po i sons d o not have to be present at visible, smel lable levels t o c rea te a nuisance . Mercury can e n t e r the body m small a m o u n t s , par t s per bi l l ion, and c o n c e n t r a t e in the brain unti l it reaches a p o i s o n o u s c o n c e n t r a t i o n .

O t h e r similar p o l l u t a n t s , which are po ten t i a l ly d a n g e r o u s to Lake Maca tawa , are lead, arsenic, ni-t r i te , po lych lo r i na t ed b ipheny l s and pest icides.

H E A T P O L L U T I O N must also be dealt with in any c o m p r e h e n -sive program to c lean up the lake. Accord ing to the Bauer repor t s , the p o w e r plant uses I I billion gal lons of Lake Macatawa water per year to cool its genera tors . Park Davis also pu t s a subs tan t ia l a m o u n t of ho t wate r in to the lake.

Dr. William F r e n c h , assistant p ro fes so r of geology , no tes that the east end of the lake is q u i t e a bit warmer than is the west end , especial ly dur ing the winter . The ex t r a heat reduces the oxygen c o n t e n t in the water .

MANY P O L L U T A N T S en te r Lake Macatawa every hou r of every day . One of the main prob-lems in f ight ing po l l u t i on is that the p rob lem is so large. It will take a highly c o o r d i n a t e d e f f o r t by c i t izens and indus t r ia l leaders to cut back the levels of fer t i l izers and poisons .

People must c o m e to realize that lakes just are not i n t ended to be m a n ' s largest waste basket . O t h e r w i s e we may see the cre-a t ion of a huge new indus t ry that will sell clean d r i n k i n g wate r for a b o u t the same price as ( la l lo Wine.

T h e C a m p u s Life Board Wednesday began c o n s i d e r a t i o n of issues raised by the lower ing of the m a j o r i t y age to take e f f ec t J a n u a r y I.

Dr. David Marker , associa te p ro fe s so r of physics , sugges ted tha t a repor t on q u e s t i o n s raised by the lower ing of the m a j o r i t y age be d rawn up by the c o m m i t t e e f o r m e d to s t u d y the n o n - a c a d e m i c responsib i l i t ies of t he college to s t u d e n t s .

C L B m e m b e r s were urged by Dean of S t u d e n t s R o b e r t De Y o u n g to m a k e " m o r a l and phi-losophica l d e c i s i o n s " c o n c e r n i n g changes m a d e poss ib le by the new m a j o r i t y age b e f o r e the board t akes ac t ion . He said t h a t , by beg inn ing ser ious s t u d y in to possi-ble changes , the C B L wou ld be express ing tacit a c c e p t a n c e of the changes .

IT WAS P O I N T E D out that the col lege 's rules c o n c e r n i n g alco-holic beverages in the res idence halls wou ld not be a l te red by the advent of the 18 year old major -i ty. D e Y o u n g suggested a policy of " imag ina t ive c o n f r o n t a t i o n " as the means t o w a r d the so lu t ion of any u p c o m i n g p rob l ems .

In o t h e r ac t ion , the board con-s idered some p r o p o s e d minor changes in the responsibi l i t ies of the Religious Life C o m m i t t e e . The proposa l involved changes in the word ing of t he facu l ty hand-book necess i ta ted by the demise of s t u d e n t c h u r c h and the R L C ' s new responsibi l i ty for se t t ing up a series of religious c o n v o c a t i o n s on c a m p u s .

A M O T I O N T O send the pro-posal t o the Admin i s t r a t ive Af-fairs Board wi th a r e c o m m e n d a -t ion fo r a c c e p t a n c e was passed.

T h e board also discussed the role and f u n c t i o n of the s t and ing c o m m i t t e e s u n d e r the pol icy-mak ing boards . Marker ques t i oned w h e t h e r the ac tual p u r p o s e of the c o m m i t t e e s t r u c t u r e is being served when the b o a r d s pass on the same agenda as the c o m m i t -tees.

38 passing and 48 rushing, four first downs , and only fou r pass comple t ions in 14 a t t emp t s . The big " D " had cont inual pene t ra t ion into the Bri ton backfield all af ter-noon , d ropp ing runners and quar-terbacks for over fo r ty yards in losses.

Key defensive plays were turned in by Dave Johnson (MIAA's leading pass in te rceptor last year) and Gary Cons tan t

hazard in the Grounds had "reached serious p r o p o r t i o n s . " The c o m p a n y insisted that the college comply with two major points : that a separate bat tery operated emergency lighting sys-tem be installed in the Cof fee Grounds , and that the wiring in the building be made to c o n f o r m to the s tandards of the National Electrical Codes .

ACCORDING to St rui ter , the cost would be too great to revamp the entire electrical sys tem.

A " f loa t ing Coffee G r o u n d s " has been considered, in which the cof feehouse would move a round to various locat ions on campus .

T H E R E IS also the possibility that a room in the DCC be given over as space for a new Cof fee Grounds . Again, this is not a very sat isfactory proposal , said Strui-ter, because the Cultural Center does not have the right a tmos-phere for an in t imate , under-ground co f feehouse .

AN ALL-TIME high total of 2,101 s tuden t s have enrolled for the fall semester , states the regis-trar. Enro l lment figures show that this number is slightly higher than the total enro l lment for 1970-71 which was 2 ,071 . The s tuden t popula t ion n u m b e r 2 ,033 in 1969-70.

The report classifies s tuden t s according to sex, class s tanding and full or part t ime status. It also lists s tudent representa t ion by states, foreign countr ies and religi-ous and denomina t iona l affilia-t ion.

NINE H U N D R E D thi r ty eight men are enrolled full t ime this semester as opposed to 1031 full t ime women s tuden ts . There are b5 part t ime male s tuden t s and 67 part t ime female s tuden t s enrol-led.

Freshman men number 235, while f reshman women number 337 sophomore men number 271 while their female coun te rpa r t s number 281. The report also shows that 96 t ransfer s tuden t s have enrolled at the college.

when they in te rcep ted Albion passes, and Dave Gosselar and Doug Nelson, who each recovered a fumble .

THE O F F E N S I V E pe r fo rm-ance was r iddled with mistakes. Al though the Dutch did pick up 21 first d o w n s and 3 2 0 net total yardage, they also lost f o u r f u m -bles and had three pass intercep-t ions.

Jon Cons tan t had p robab ly his best a f t e r n o o n as a college quar-terback. He comple ted 8 of 15 passes for 133 yards and one t o u c h d o w n , while plunging across the goal line for a n o t h e r score. Three of his passes were inter-cep ted , but hurt little excep t may-be his pride.

S A T U R D A Y ' S game showed Doug Smi th ' s excel lence as a pun te r . He got off his second 70+-yard p u n t of the season, and averaged f i f ty yards in th ree kicks. Sa tu rday ' s game also showed that Hope has t w o very equal tai lbacks in Greg Voss (60 yards in 23 carries) and F d Sanders (65 yards in 14 trips), a l though the la t ter is fas ter and quicker to the hole.

Hope got on the scoreboard with less than a minu te gone in the game. Alb ion ' s first play f rom scrimmage a f t e r the open ing kick-off resulted in a f u m b l e that Gosselar recovered. On the very next play, Jon Cons tan t th rew to Jim Lamer fo r a 25 yard scoring str ike. The ext ra point a t t e m p t was good by Mike Hinga. On the a f t e r n o o n . Lamer caught four passes for 84 yards.

U N F O R T U N A T E L Y , Hope could score only once more in the first half, as three pass intercep-t ions and t w o fumbles hampered

dent body. New York , Illinois and New Jersey rank next in represen-ta t ion with 284 , 194 and 187 representat ives, respectively.

T h e booters beat Trini ty Chris-tian of Chicago 3-1 and dropped a 4-1 decision to Aurora College.

Trini ty Chris t ian should have stayed h o m e as the Dutch domi-nated the m a t c h , which was not as close as the score would seem to indicate. T h e visi tors ' only goal came on a f luke play, as Hope a t t e m p t e d to clear and the ball bounced off Chr is t ian 's Dave Har-rison in to the goal.

Dave Phillips led the Dutch charge with a pair of goals, and John Ace to chipped in for the o ther . Hope had Christ ian with its

Because of Hope ' s limited en-d o w m e n t , most of the funds cur-rently employed for s tudent aid and scholarships c o m e f rom the college's opera t ing funds . Since a sizeable percentage of the col-lege's opera t ing f u n d s come f rom s tudent tui t ions , s t uden t s at Hope pay for their own scholarships.

THE S T U D E N T aid fund will a t t e m p t to increase the endow-ment fund of the college for the specific channel ing of funds to s tudent financial needs. The pro-gram would thereby free the col-lege's opera t ing m o n e y for sup-port of o ther vital areas and en-sure con t inua t ion of the college's e f fo r t s to aid qual i f ied s tuden t s to graduate f rom Hope regardless of financial s tatus.

The D u t c h m e n , flying high af ter three straight wins, crashed as Aurora de fea ted them 4-1. Three quick goals in the second period were all Aurora needed, as Hope d ropped to 3-3 for the season. T o m Jones and Gino Rinaldi provided all the scoring punch , each scoring twice. Mark Van Voors t boo t ed Hope ' s only goal, coming in the third per iod.

of con t inu ing research and envi-ronmen ta l studies.

O B V I O U S L Y , all these pro-jects will cost a great deal of money . F u r t h e r m o r e , until the a t t i tudes of publ ic c o m m i t m e n t and response have been satisfac-torily examined , the college will not kick-off any campaign it is unlikely to bring to comple t ion .

T o sense and evaluate that re-sponse, the college has employed the services of the Brakely Co. of New York in conduc t ing a feasi-bility s t u d y , a s tudy which accor-ding to DeMeester , "will tell us if it is literally possible to raise several million dollars over the next 3 to 5 years fo r these pro-j ec t s . "

THE ANSWER of the Brakely Co. will be received by the Board of Trus tees at its Oct . 23 meeting. If the answer is that it is feasible for the college to under t ake the Build Hope Campaign, the Board will p robably begin making plans for a na t ion-wide canvassing for funds , DeMeester s ta ted . If it is infeasible for the college to con-duct the campaign , the scale of the program will p robab ly be pro-por t iona te ly r educed , he added.

DeMeester s t a ted , " A s we have plans for the nex t decade, and smce we d o have goals and objec-tives, we seek to implemen t these for the overall benef i t of the col lege." A t present that imple-m e n t a t i o n is d e p e n d e n t more u p o n the s tate of the e c o n o m y than u p o n the zeal behind the Build H o p e Campaign .
