by Tim Seise anchor Repor t e r

R e v . R a y m o n d J. Pontier called the Vie tnam m o r a t o r i u m "a time of c o m m i t m e n t and a cry of c o n s c i e n c e against the false nat ional idols which demand that we worship at the al tars of death and not healing, of hate and not love."

He spoke to an aud ience of nearly 900 s tuden t s and facult> m e m b e r s in Dimnent Memorial Chapel Wednesday morn ing .

T h e Cl i f ton , N.J . , minis ter ' s address was part of a campus program in connec t ion with a na t ionwide m o r a t o r i u m calling for an end to the war in V i e t n a m .

Rev. Pont ier said that war is a denial of h u m a n i t y , " w i t h the war in Vie tnam the present and visible expression of man ' s i n h u m a n i t y . " He added that he cou ldn ' t buy the reasoning of those " w h o would put Christ in to u n i f o r m . No t , at least, wi thout parking my fai th at the doo r of the recrui t ing o f f i c e . "

Rev. Pont ier declared the day as "a p roduc t of the vision and idealism and the sense of justice of y o u n g p e o p l e " and those older persons who had re-examined their priorit ies and goals of life. He felt that local c h u r c h e s have a t t e m p t e d to tame and domest i -cate the " Jesus who ' m a d e waves,' who stuck his neck ou t fo r the unde rdog and the o u t c a s t " and that t hey get " m u c h more excited over deviat ion f rom a t rad i t ional doc t r ine and falling S u n d a y at ten-d a n c e - t h a n over wha t is happen-ing, or what they should be doing, to ' t he least of these ' t r apped in some ghet to or in that far-off land called V i e t n a m . "

In his speech, Rev. Pontier a t t acked President Nixon and his a d m i n i s t r a t i o n for " t o k e n i s m made largely t o cool the heels of his critics. T h e teams of J o h n s o n and Rusk , Nixon and Laird have gone in so many d i rec t ions in this war that the counsels of ' t rus t us' and 'have pa t ience ' are no longer c red ib le , " he said.

He denounced the ut i l izat ion of weapons such as napa lm and called the presence of U.S. t roops in Vie tnam an " invas ion" in which

the a m o u n t of success is measured in the n u m b e r of dead enemy bodies remaining on the batt le-field. " A r e we so self-r ighteous that we cannot see the immoral-ity, the inhumani ty of th i s?" he asked the audience .

The war as viewed by Rev. Pont ier "has been a moral dis-aster. both for the people of Vie tnam and for the people of America. Our get t ing out of Viet-nam will not suddenly solve their p roblems- but our staying in con-t inues to c o m p o u n d t h e m . It has divided the c o u n t r y , al ienated the young, prevented the nat ional ef-fort to remedy the ills of the cities, co r rup t ed scholarship, and poisoned the whole of society all of these wi thou t accomplishing

REV. R A Y M O N D J. PONTIER

the purposes for which we claim-ed to have gone into Vie tnam in the first p lace . "

Rev. Pont ier pleaded for a basic change towards the ideals of life. In speaking of the pr imary goal of the Vie tnam m o r a t o r i u m , he expressed the hope that " i t will go d e e p e r - T h e t ime is long past due that we a f f i rmed life instead of dea th . Let this Mora tor ium Day be the beginning of a t ime of c o m m i t m e n t . "

Rev. Pont ier said that the role of each individual was to take act ion within his local chu rch , " b e ins t ruments to con f ron t the war, the mil i tary, and a f f i rm life, not d e a t h . "

Time and pressure Wednesday Hope College students

participated in the nationwide moratori-um for peace in Vietnam, or perhaps more correctly for the removal of American interests f rom the originally civil war in South Vietnam. National ly, the morator ium brought together over a mi l l ion people in a concerted ef for t to

anchor editorials

have the pol icy of the American govern-ment changed.

Yet in spite of the October 15 mora-tor ium and a massive march on Washing-ton planned for November 15, President N i x o n has made no major policy changes. Though he has pushed for changes in the Selective Service System to make it more just, and has fired Gen-eral Lewis Hershey, moves that have been seen as attempts to placate Ameri-can youth, he has made no substantial

changes in Vietnam policy. This fact has served to discourage many people about the chances of unilateral action by the United States in Vietnam whi le President Nixon is in off ice.

Though the prospects for an immedi-ate change in America's posit ion are dim, there is l i t t le to indicate that Mr. Nixon believes that unilateral action is out of the question. That he has refused to yield to public opinion to date shows l i t t le more than his awareness of the ficklenature of public opinion. And Presi-dent Nixon has gone to great lengths to emphasize the Vietnamization of the war.

What these facts seem to point to is an awareness that if America continues to participate in a l imited Asian war up to the next presidential elections, Mr. Nixon would be wise to retire as Presi-dent Johnson did.

The task, then, is to maintain public pressure upon the administration to end America s role in South Vietnam.

An anniversary This week marks the third anniversary

of the unveiling of the masterplan. Origin-ally scheduled to be completed in ten years, the master plan may take much longer for complet ion.

To date, one of the eight buildings of the plan has been constructed. However, that building, Dykstra Hall, was bui l t by a contractor work ing independently of the architects of the master plan.

This afternoon, bids wi l l be opened for two more parts of the plan. The DeWitt Student Cultural and Social Center and the Wichers addit ion to the Nykerk Hall of Music represent a large investment of mon-ey for the College. But even more, they represent a large investment of t ime and hope for thousands of students at Hope College. They have been inspired and dis-appointed numerous times on the question of the SCSC.

The students who originally labored for the construction of this building are no longer students at Hope College. They spent months and years trying to persuade and try ing to raise funds for the building. Al l along, they were given encouragement by the Administrat ion of the College.

Readers speak out

But they were often led to believe that their efforts would soon be rewarded. Ever since President Calvin VanderWerf told the student body in 1964, "We' l l have a student center so fast i t ' l l make their heads swim, up to "Groundbreaking" cere-monies and beyond, students have been told that the SCSC was right around the corner.

We certainly rejoice that bids are being opened today for the building. But we must also caution all those who have been waiting for so long that this is only one more step in the master plan.

Perhaps it is t ime to reevaluate realis-tically the basic presuppositions of the master plan. It is not impossible to com-plete the schedule called for on the one hand, but on the other, we must not be led astray by the consistantly overly-optimistic statements made about the progress of the plan.

We urge each student, and even more, each alumnus of Hope College, to carefully consider the future of our inst i tut ion. For only by working together and planning together realistically can we achieve the goals before us.

A lack of dedication Our own little event called the mora to r -

ium, a l though a very excellent topic , will probably melt away in to meaningless a f t e r the original shock wave has died down. Just as has happened before , our meek and mild c a m p u s will go back to its Puritanical ways with the fond memor ies of the victory won that day.

Go down to you r alleged Cof fee Grounds some night and listen t o the ho t ly discussed topics that are spoken . One will

dear editor

very easily pick up c o m m e n t n i k e / ^ o k at the m o n e y m a k e r on that girl. Or, yeah , I 'm conce rned with poverty but no t enough to campaign against it. Yeah, we should get ou t of Nam but I can ' t help a n y w a y . " 1 wish the College would publish what recent grads are doing. It would be morbidly interest ing t o see h o w many Hope grads are in the Peace Corps , the Teacher Corps, VISTA or any o t h e r social agency. I w o n d e r if the to ta l a m o u n t s t o two.

One word can describe the ma jo r i ty of Hope s tuden t s . That one word is uncom-mi t ted . You can also refer to th i s term as undedica ted , unaware , lackadaisical, p o m p -ous, hear t t o heart lovers of the Christ ian doct r ines of Social Darwinism and the Protes tant Eth ic .

There are only a few s tuden t s on this campus that are dedica ted . One of t h e m started the Cof fee Grounds . O n e of t h e m burned a cross. One of them got bus ted in a Greek b o r d e r t o w n for possession. A n o t h e r was kicked out of school at the beginning of first semester for smoking weed. The most f o r t u n a t e one, even though I ha te t o say it, is the pres ident of the s tuden t b o d y . Even one f r e shman girl is to ta l ly commi t -ted. When asked for a date she responds , "Are you a P r a t e r ? " Of course we must not forget all the girls here tha t are t rying to get marr ied.

We all know the atroci t ies a f f o r d e d by the U.S. Pigs t o the N L F and the N o r t h

Vietnamese people mainly over the past 5 years. Even with the signs of a pul l -out , U.S. in tervent ion and occupa t ion seems inevitable for at least ano ther 5 years.

But this t ime can be drastically shor t -ened if U.S. s t u d e n t s t h r o u g h o u t the na-tion are willing to d e m o n s t r a t e their feel-ings t o Washington. I 'm sure tha t 7 million telegrams would get Nixon off his can and get his rear in gear. But it takes act ion not middle class indecision. The t ime is here to f ight , but all tha t I 've been hearing is grumbling.

1 must c o m m e n d Mr. Vander Laan for e loquent s t a t emen t on the terr ible menace , mora to r ium. It t ook courage and especially audaci ty to verbalize his t ime h o n o r e d words. To h im, 1 salute in the only p roper way.

Of course, we can always stan in Nam and lose. Maybe then we would shake enough drawers in this coun t ry to get on the move.

N o r m a n Ochelski

Question motives T h e events of the mora to r i um p r o m p t e d

me t o ask these ques t ions . Are you against the war because it is

immoral or because you are the one going to fight it (and m a y b e get kil led)?

Does the peace you are shout ing fo r only mean to ta l wi thdrawal f r o m Asia?

Have you though t of the consequences of pulling out of S o u t h Vie tnam as soon as possible?

Does a war fough t for exis tence mean anything to y o u ?

Is it all right for a coup le of million people , Asians, Afr icans , etc. , to die f ight -ing for exis tence as long as they are no t Americans?

Are you very sure that this war is no t a war of your f r eedom and also Sou th East Asia's f r eedom?

There has been a great deal of discussion concern ing sex educat ion in the schools. Actual ly chi ldren are get t ing more sex educa t ion in one week's viewing of televi-sion commerc ia l s than they ' l l get in four years in the classroom, and most of this TV- type sex educa t ion can become very d i s to r ted .

F O R EXAMPLE, THE o ther evening 1 was watching a commercia l for a 1970 au tomob i l e . The girl announce r challenged the virility of the TV viewer and wanted to k n o w if he was man enough to drive it. If he wasn t , she said, then he obviously wasn ' t man enough to get her.

Well, 1 f rankly didn ' t care that much abou t the girl because her legs were too skinny. But I could see the e f fec t it was having on several subteen-agers in my living room.

IT 'S T O U G H ENOUGH get t ing through pube r ty , but when you have to prove your m a n h o o d by first purchasing a $4 ,000 spor ts model , you might as well th row in the towel before you start .

T h e next commercia l showed a couple walking th rough high grass hand in hand. They obviously were up to no good and were looking for a clear area to spread out their b lanket . But before they got down to business, the man lit a cigarette and then handed it to the girl who took a puff and looked at the guy as if the deal had been made.

NOW ONCE AGAIN 1 wasn' t moved by this, mainly because I have a fear of snakes. But 1 could see the kids watching this scene and believing tha t an act of love had to be preceded by bo th part ies first smoking a cigaret te .

1 tried to explain to the subteen-agers t ha t this was not true and in manv cases could cause unnecessary fires in bed.

A little la ter we hit a mou th -wash commerc ia l . The girl was s tunning, but when boys took her home they jus t lef t her at the door wi thou t kissing her good night.

A girlfr iend finally p r o d u c e d a bo t t le of the mouth -wash , and on the very next ou t ing her da te refused to let her leave him.

ONCE A G A I N I C O U L D see the sub-teen-agers t ry ing to f igure it all out . By rights, the p rope r thing was for the girl to be lef t at the door. But the mouth-wash guaranteed no th ing but t rouble , and when I made the c o m m e n t that it was be t t e r for a girl to have bad breath than for her t o get in to this k ind of s i tuat ion 1 was hoo ted down by everyone in the room.

Later on, a blonde beauty was th rowing herself all over a man who had been wearing a cer ta in kind of af ter-shave lot ion. The man had it made in the commerc ia l . I tried to warn the young men in the room that wearing after-shave lo t ion was no guarantee of success when it came to b londe beaut ies . 1 po in ted out that before 1 was married 1 had used the very af ter-shave lot ion adver t ised and was s lapped in the face six t imes before I decided to go home.

ONE OF T H E MEMBERS of the young group r e to r t ed that my exper ience took place before there was television.

The final commerc ia l had to do with shampoo . The y o u n g lady was shown shampoo ing her hair in the shower . Af te r that it had become so silky that her escort for the evening could do no th ing but run his hands t h rough it all night long. 1 made the observa t ion that running you r hand th rough a girl 's hair fo r any length of time was not only bad for her scalp but became very tiring.

But 1 cou ldn ' t seem to get the message across. In less than two hours the subteen-agers had been educa ted t o believe tha t if you drove a spor ts car, smoked cigarettes, used m o u t h wash and af ter-shave lo t ion, not to m e n t i o n s h a m p o o , y o u would achieve the f inal act of bliss. Are these kids in for a surprise .

'Midnight Cowboy9: a depiction of emptiness Editor's Note: This week's anchor review is wr i t ten by anchor cri-tiques editor Robert Kieft . He reviews the John Schlesinger-Jerome Hellman product ion of The Midnight Cowboy.

by Robert Kieft

Hxamine for a m o m e n t , if you will, the Amer ican Dream. Con-s i d e r t h e br ight-with-promise misty golden shadows of its y o u t h , the shining eyes of its wishes, the thrill ing opt imism of its red cells. Turn your back on the sick Old World and go West, young man and old alike, to the new Eldorado, the glorious anti-thesis that negates all the sordid, ugly and dead-end old and makes all things new in the sunlight and blue skies of its specula t ions and fondes t wild designs.

CONSIDER FOR a m o m e n t , if you will, the young man , the vision of our hopes. No te the blond halo falling on his b row, the clear blue of his eyes, the square of his jaw, the unsullied whiteness of his teeth. He is a young man of dreams and aspirat ions and pro-grams for the f u t u r e , a y o u n g man who can imagine seeing a bliss of his own design in his l i fet ime.

He is the man-angel, the ro-mance and hero of our vision; in the pride of his y o u t h and the joy of his m a n h o o d , in the pleasure he takes in his s t rength and in his conf idence , he goes out in to the world to carve out his place in the sun and write his name across the face of heaven.

THE G R E A T CITY is his goal; there , on the New Fron t i e r , will he prove himself . There , where the streets are paved wi th gold and the gut ters running wi th nec-tar; there will he make his success. The men will defer to him and the w o m e n creep adoringly t o his bed; all that lives and brea thes or is inanimate the re will be his for the asking. For he is the s t rength of de te rmina t ion and fearlessness, and the city is the f ron t i e r land of

his dreams and the crea ture of his conf iden t hand.

Hail, the conquer ing Hero comes! He arrives in a bus, chew-ing gum ra ther obnoxious ly , but , ah the insouciant magnif icence o i his smile! The streets of gold turn out to be paved with d runks as well, but oh , well, l ie is taken by the f a t t y , brassy middle-aging yenta in her vulgar purple pent-house with the black sheets. He is taken by the derelict, by the faggy little high-school brat , by the crea-tures and denizens of the city who , somehow, seem more con-cerned with themselves than with service to the Hero.

S T R A N G E : THEY d o n ' t fall at his feet and beg on their knees for his favor ; they don ' t pry up the golden paving s tones f rom the streets and pile them at his door . E ldorado is tarnished gold, hardly four teen kara t ; maybe it 's even the gold of fools.

His Dream becomes his Night-mare. The hopes die, and the specula t ions collapse, and the visions and bright eyes of y o u t h are buried in the rubble at the back of a condemned t e n e m e n t . His romance is gone; mere survival is the pa ramoun t ques t ion . The old conf idence ebbs ou t in to the

neon night, the fearlessness dis-solves in to the Tear that creeps silently and insidiously f rom the dark of the hungry s tomach and the aloneness of a sea of pitiless faces.

GONE, GONE FOR him the sunlit blue skies and golden dream-idylls of y o u t h , gone the gold-bright visions of the crystal city and its towers to be t amed . Now he is the child of the fumes and neon, spawned in the crush and heartlessness, the indif ference of the City of Death and Fear , the American Nightmare.

In trying to talk about The Midnight Cowboy it is almost impossible, for this reviewer, any-way,to say anything without launch-ing into panegyric. It is a brilliant film, brilliantly conceived and ex-ecuted and brilliantly ac ted . It is a film to see several t imes with increasing apprecia t ion of its art, and one to remember with deep pleasure.

The Midnight Cowboy is a magnificent s tudy in c inemat ic naturalism. The f i lm's hypersensi-tivity and perfect recreat ion of the envi ronment , of the vast and complex personali ty which is New York City, is uncanny . F rom the deserted subway p la t form to the mouse-woman to the pleasures of

For ty-Second Street to the War-hol people and the lonely conven-tioneer, the film is undeviatingly fa i thfu l to its vision of life and the forces in the City that combine to change and a lmost , u l t imately , de-feat Joe Buck. The way in which the film itself is put t o g e t h e r - t h e way in which it selects and pre-sents its m a t e r i a l - c r e a t e s a world for the viewer tha t , by the end of the film, becomes unbearably pre-sent and real.

THE BATTLE RAGES as to which of the two leading actors is the bet ter . It is, of course, a quest ion of taste and one which doesn ' t have to and really can' t be answered. But were this reviewer faced with the necessity of de-cision as to whose per formance he most liked, he'd side with Jon Voigt.

Dustin H o f f m a n has to play a sick man, and he does so superbly . But Mr. Voigt, is faced with play-ing, s imply, a man: a man who during the course of the por t ion of his life which we see is faced with some drastically new situa-t ions and makes a major decision about the kind of person he is.

IT IS FOR BRINGING off the "educa t ion of Joe B u c k " that Mr. Voigt 's pe r fo rmance is so enjoy-

able. One of the highpoints of the film is his t rea tment of the final scene, in which the silence of his face's expression of an unknown and unnameable fear and helpless-ness burns itself indelibly into the memory .

The Midnight Cowboy is a de-grading film. It shows us the sordid and despicable emptiness of our h u m a n i t y - o u r selfishness and greed and apa thy . It shows us the hideous, nightmarish realities of psychological and moral de-struction which the Dream of America and her cul ture have created. And it leaves us little hope.

BUT T H A T IS not to say that it leaves us with none at all. The vision and romance are gone for-ever in the bit ter irony of the dead body behind a window that reflects the Florida that we dreamed and that might have saved us.

There is something in the face of Joe Buck, however, that says that even though the American Dream of our innocence and hoping young will is dead and our ability to believe almost mortal ly hur t , there is still the chance that we shall survive and bring what joy we can to the Nightmare.

The following excerpts express various moods and opin ions held by " a w a r e " black people of today!

I N T E G R A T I O N "A small colony, sole survivors

of WWII, established a new civili-zat ion on a small island in the Pacific. There were many races r e p r e s e n t e d , but blacks pre-domina ted and composed the ruling class. Also on the island were large numbers of pale-skinned sub-human- type beings who were excluded f rom the main colony.

"They were relegated to a poor under-developed area and were allowed to enter the civilized area to work and then only during certain hours. Using these sub-humans for manned and menial labor the o ther race was provided ample leisure to become cul tured and ref ined .

" O n e day a spokesman for t h e s e second-class sub-human beings went to the black rulers to plead for their civil rights. The black rulers were very sympa-thet ic to the " p r o b l e m " and agreed tha t whi tes should be granted their civil rights. And the best way to gain these was to s a n c t i o n " I n t e g r a t i o n . " That would make everything all right.

" T h e white leader of the white people was elated and immedi-ately went back to the ghe t to to tell how he had flat-a—d told that d u m b black just what he wanted and how the black had given him not only civil rights but Integra-tion, too.

"All white sub-human, second-class citizens were over-joyed ex-

cept one wise old man, who walked away shaking his head and mutter ing, T o o l , Fool! Who the f— cares abou t sitting on the toilet next to a black man . ' Tha t ' s all In tegrat ion is, civil r ights in the s—house!"

THE ART O F ARSON " T h e black man is constant ly

subjected to e m p t y words, empty dreams, and hol low promises. Black America is subjected to these frui t less promises because whitey canno t be reached thru talking, one man to another . White America unders tands nei-ther the urgency of black de-mands nor the seriousness of our plight. He canno t " f ee l " the prob-lem in o ther words.

"There is, however, an artistic method by which black people can relate t o honkies the necessity for direct ac t ion now! This meth-od is qui te simple and inexpen-sive. To create this work of art, all the materials needed are a Coke bot t le , rage, gasoline, ma tch and a white es tab l i shment . S o m e h o w this crude art makes a believer of foolish and backward whites.

"White folks listen: I MAKE NO HOLLOW PROMISE. THE REVOLUTION COMETH AND AS THE P H R A S E GOES " Y O U R ASS IS G R A S S . " The only way out is right, and whitey doesn' t know the meaning of right. Stand warned, my art will be y o u r ruin, your despair my jus t i ce . "

WHAT WE BELIEVE "We believe that black people

should not be forced to fight in the military service to defend a racist government that does not protect us. We will not fight and kill o ther people of color in the world who, like black people , are

The Best of Peanuts

being victimized by the white racist government of America. We will protect ourselves f rom the force and violence of the racist police and the racist mili tary, by whatever means necessary.

"We believe in an educat ional system that will give to our people a knowledge of self. If a man does not have knowledge of himself and his posit ion in society and the world, then he has little chance to relate to anyth ing else."

ON OPPRESSION " T o die for the fascist imperial-

istic war mongers of the U.S. and others in the world; to die for the oppressive ruling circles of the capitalistic, aggressive, inhumane, atrocious, genecidal regimes is a death lighter than a feather which a destructive windstorm can blow about at r a n d o m will."

"True f reedom cannot begin to be b o m until all police and repres-sive forces of the state are con-trolled by the people ."

Yours in Blackness

Durufle to direct Hope musicians

Maurice Duruf le , French com-poser and organist , will conduc t t h e H o p e C o l l e g e Orator io Chorus , Orchestra and soloists in the pe r fo rmance of his Requiem Thursday at 8 :15 p.m. in Dimnent \ Memorial Chapel.

MRS. MARIE Duruf le will also per form with her husband. She has been co-organist with him at Saint-Etienne-du-Mont and she has herself composed several pieces for p iano and organ.

When she and her husband first visited the United States, they were invited to appear at the National Convent ion of the Amer-ican Guild of Organists in Phila-delphia. Mrs. Duruf le ' s perfor-mance was unanimously praised and quo ted as being " t h e un-quest ioned highest point of the entire conven t ion . "

The first part of Thu r sday ' s pe r fo rmance will consist of Mr. and Mrs. Duruf le playing several organ pieces. The second half of the program will fea ture Mr. Du-rufle directing his Requiem. Ac-cording to Mr. Davis of the Hope College music depa r tmen t , " i t ' s almost like having Handel here to direct the Messiah."

THE THEMATIC material for Requiem is drawn f rom the Cath-olic service for the dead. At the same t ime the composer combines with this a con tempora ry official and ha rmonic palet te . Mr. Duruf le says of his work: 4kAs to the musical fo rm, it is dicta ted simply by the fo rm of the liturgy itself. The organ plays a merely episodic role; it intervenes not to suppor t the chorus but to underl ine cer-

tain rhythms. . . I t represents the idea of c o m f o r t , of fa i th and of hope . "

The Requiem is in nine parts and uses an orchestra of triple winds and brass, strings in five parts, harp, celestra, percussion and organ, mixed chorus and mezzo-soprano and bari tone solos.

THE MOST RECENT record-ing of Duruf le ' s Requiem, made in the church Saint-Etenne-du-Mont , was awarded the Grand Prix du Disque by the Charles C m s Acad-emy.

Those Hope College s tudents wishing to a t t end this concer t must pick up compl imentary t ickets in the Student Activities Off ice in Van Raalte 102.

Local moritorium shows student concern

declamation of know

Who are the trustees? by Drew Hinderer

This weekend, an exciting event will take place. I 'm not refering to homecoming, a l though the fact that it, too, is going on is not unrelated to the event in question. The SDS describes such events this way: "Once more the fat corporat ion executives and lying politicians are get t ing to-gether for a ruling class festival... they'l l sit back watching this game the same way they oversee ( the rest of your l ife)." The Board of Trustees of Hope College is meet-ing.

THIS MEETING represents one of the two "fest ivals" held every school year under normal circumstances, meetings about which the s tudent body knows little or nothing. What does go on at a Board of Trustees meeting?

I only wish 1 could tell you. I have sought the answer all over Van Raalte Hall, and while 1 discovered lots of interesting things (like a wild flurry to get the books in order and an unwilling-ness to let me see them), no one would divulge anything about the upcoming meeting.

IT IS CLEAR f rom all the frenzied business going on there that something fr ightening (at least to some people) is coming; I have heard all sorts of rumors , for example, about fear that the mor-ator ium might explode in to vio-lent protest while the Trus tees are here (making some people look very bad). But as to the exact nature of what the powers of that group of people is, 1 could learn nothing.

So 1 am left to conjecture . I thought it might be interesting to examine the roles of the trustees elsewhere and draw some infer-ences about what ours must be doing.

WHO ARE THE trustees? Ac-cording to Morton Rauh whose

book T/ie Trusteeship of Colleges and Universities is a s tudy of t rusteeship, the usual Board of Trustees is predominent ly male (85%), over for ty (99%), white (98.7%), Protestant (82%), Re-publican (66%), monied (over S30 ,000 per year, 87%, and over 550 ,000 , 69%) and spends less than twenty hours a year in rais-ing f u n d s for their colleges (72% to 84%,).

Trus tees feel that s tudents who "actively disrupt the funct ioning of a college should be expelled or suspended (71%), but they feel that faculty members should "have the right to express their opin ions about any issue they wish without fear of reprisal (78%) ." They also favor by large majori t ies that " the college should cont inue to have a large role in the development of the personal values of its s tudents , and favor the cont inuance of an in loco parentis role for the ins t i tu t ion ."

T H E Y FEEL that the legiti-mate body for making all rules decisions on s tudent affairs is the a d m i n i s t r a t i o n , with s tudents "divorced f rom the actual deci-sion making." All in all, Mr. Rauh concludes, " t h e survey suggests that t rustees would grant very little au thor i ty to s tuden t s . "

I think that most of these conclusions are not likely to arouse great disagreement among our board. But then, that is only conjec ture , since 1 have never had the o p p o r t u n i t y to talk to a mem-ber about his ideas and decisions.

AND THAT, TOO, is not sur-prising, considering they are not usually present in an official capa-city more than twice a year, and then their meetings are closed. (They do appear briefly at various o ther important func t ions how-ever, like the acceptance and thanksgiving party for the DeWitt

brothers ' generous gift, and the start of cons t ruc t ion on the new Student Center . And of course, at Homecoming.)

Oh noble Board of Trustees, do not think that no one cares about who you are and what you are doing. We are concerned about our r idiculous endowment per stu-dent of slightly over a thousand dollars (r idiculous by comparison to, say, Oberl in 's at a cool five-f i g u r e number start ing with three). We are concerned about your unques t ioning stance in favor of in loco parentis. We are concerned about your willingness to ignore administrat ive bungling. We are concerned about your pati-ence with regard to your Student Center while it is we who must do the waiting. So let me join you in hoping that your upcoming meet-ing might be f ru i t fu l . And let us know how you come out.

All periodicals and microfi lms in Van Zoeren Library are in the process of being reclassified ac-cording to the Dewey Decimal System and will be placed on the library shelves with the proper books.

Head librarian Edward Whit-taker said that the purpose of the reclassification project is to make research easier for the s tudent . Presently, a s tudent has three places to look for materials in the library - the book shelves, the periodical section and the micro-film room.

Af t e r the periodicals and mic-rofi lms are reclassified, the stu-

(continued from page 1) pedestr ians verbally harrassed the p icket ters .

The mora to r ium day was cli-maxed by a peace march at 6 : 3 0 p .m. T h e marchers lef t f r o m the Pine Grove and walked to the corner of River Ave. and Nin th St. Here about half of the 700 marchers turned to march down River to Eighth St. , while the o t h e r half cont inued toward Kollen Park.

POLICE I N F O R M E D members of the first group tha t they were marching in violation of their par-ade permit , but the group began singing, "We are marching to the Windmil l ."

T w o other t imes during the route down Eighth St. to Wind-mill Island the marchers were told by police with loud speakers that they were breaking the law. The second group, which was march-ing under the pro tec t ion of a parade permit , was led to Centen-nial Park by a police escort .

THE STUDENT organizers of the march had originally re-

dent will be able to find all the materials he needs on a given subject in one section of the l ibrary, Mr. Whit taker said.

All periodicals are expected to be reclassified and moved to dif-ferent shelves by Christmas vaca-tion. Informat ion about the re-alignment of the periodicals will be posted at the reference desk.

Mr. Whittaker also announced that he is examining the possiblity of having a smoking lounge in the l ibrary. Before a smoking lounge can be made, a room must be approved by the fire marshall and proper ventilation installed, he said.

quested a parade permit to march down Eighth St. to Windmill Is-land. T h e request was granted with the s t ipulat ion that each marcher must pay the regular ad-mission charge to the Island.

In Centennia l Park, nearly 350 marchers were addressed briefly by Rev. Pontier . In Windmill Is-land Park, his son , Glenn Pontier , addressed the marchers there. In addi t ion , Chaplain William Hille-gonds spoke to the group at the Windmill.

STUDENTS HAD removed the wooden crosses f rom the Pine Grove and planted them along the road at Windmill Island Park. Many lit candles or said short prayers. They walked silently back to the H o p e campus using the sidewalks.

According to junior Jim Ru-bins, every Fr iday through Nov. 15 a group of s tudents led by s tudents f rom Western Theolog-ical Seminary will march down Eighth St. to protest the war in Vie tnam. The total number of marchers will equal the number of American deaths in Vietnam the previous week. A parade permit for t o d a y ' s demons t ra t ion has al-ready been obta ined , Rubins noted.

The Coffee Grounds , center of much of the activity during the entire week of the Vietnam mora-tor ium, is cont inuing to observe the mora to r ium tonight . John B o o n s t r a , m a n a g e r of the Grounds , announced that films will be shown tonight along with programs of protest music and other special events. T o m o r r o w night the G r o u n d s will be closed in observance of the last day of mora tor ium week .

During most of the day Wed-nesday, American Friends Service Commit tee counsellors advised s tudents of facts relating to the Selective Service laws. According t o Boons t ra , the counsellors "cou ldn ' t believe the s tudent reac-t ion . "

Soccer team defeated by MacMurray, 4-1

Homecoming tomorrow by Bill Hoffman anchor Reporter

The D u t c h m e n traveled to Jacksonvil le, Illinois last Saturday to meet MacMurray College in a Michigan-lllinois-I ndiana Confer-ence Soccer match. Hope was defeated 4-1 by the " k e y e d - u p " MacMurray boote rs before their Homecoming crowd.

The Dutch were scoreless until John White managed a f o u r t h period goal; however , the e f for t was too little and too late as

MacMurray had already built up a 4-0 lead.

Hope scattered a mere nine shots on goal th roughout the four quar ters , while MacMurray kept steady pressure on the Dutch de-fense with 25 shots on goal.

The loss gave the Dutch a 2-4 season record and a 2-2 league tally. With a tough Wheaton team to be played tomor row, the Dutch are virtually out of the Mil cham-pionship race.

collegiate Athlet ic Association this year with the apparen t excep-tions of Adrian and Hope.

The Comets have won a game this year though, They accom-plished (hat feat last week by edging the Bulldogs of Adrian, 30-27.

F A C T O R S FAVOR A Dutch win Sa turday . First of all it is Homecoming and the Du tchmen usually fire-up for that game. And s e c o n d l y , the Hope of fense looked pret ty good in the second half of the Alma game which might mean that the team has recovered f rom their devastat ing loss to Kazoo two weeks ago.

The Hope o f f ense fea tu res one of the best pass combina t ions in the league with junior quar te rback Groy Kaper and senior All-MIAA end Bill Bekkering.

KAPER AND Bekkering have combined thus far this season for 368 yards and 25 complet ions . Two of the passes were good for t o u c h d o w n s against Alma.

The success of Hope ' s running attack depends chiefly on the effect iveness of jun io r fullback Bob Have man who leads the team in rushing yardage with 267 yards in 68 carries for an average of 3.9 yards per carry.

O L I V E T Q U A R T E R B A C K Eric Witzke will direct the Comet a t tack. The senior signal-caller should turn the contes t into an aerial duel between himself and Kaper.

Before the season began, the Ml A A coaches picked Hope and Olivet to battle for possession of third place in the league.

Hope still winless

Scots defeat Dutchmen, 42-18 by Pete Struck

anchor Reporter

Hope ' s bid for their first foo t -ball victory of this season was thwar ted o n c e again Sa turday as the Alma Scots r omped over the hapless D u t c h m e n , 42-18.

T H E D E F E A T WAS the fou r th for the D u t c h against no wins and one tie. A lma ' s record is now 3-2 overall and 2-0 in the Michigan Intercol legiate Athle t ic Associa-t ion .

Once again it was the big mis-take that tu rned the tide against Hope early in the con tes t .

With a f o u r t h and eleven situa-t ion on thei r own 29 yard line, the Dutch were forced to pun t . Center J im DeHorn ' s snap went sailing high over the head of pun-ter Doug Smi th and Alma recover-ed on the H o p e five.

IT T O O K THE Scots one play t o score as tai lback Chris Clark

A touch of optimism by Bob Vandenberg

Hundreds of Hope a lumni , along with a few hundred cur ious s tudents , will descend upon River-view Park t o m o r r o w a f t e r n o o n at about 2 :15 .

O T H E R S , LESS f o r t u n a t e and unhappi ly shut-in, will be unable to a t t end ; doubt less , they will flip their radio dials to 1450 to hear the co lor fu l voice of Rick London and his exci t ing play-by-play descript ion of the Olivet-Hope footbal l game.

What will this huge th rong at Riverview see?

What will this vast radio audi-ence at h o m e hear?

The a n s w e r - - a win! Yes, a win! T o m o r r o w , the

Flying D u t c h m e n are going to win a footbal l game.

AND fT 'S A B O U T time. Af ter all, the Orange and Blue gridders of Russ DeVet te haven ' t won a footbal l game since Oc tobe r 26, 1968, when the aroused Dutch-men fought off a late Kalamazoo drive and whipped the mighty (even thi n) Horne ts , 7-2.

Since t hen , Hope has gone seven games wi thou t a victory.

T h e Dutch , of course, have lost s o m e h e a r t b reakers in that s t re tch , by such scores as 45-0, 54-13, 40-7, 23-14, 31-0, and 42-18. A 13-13 tie with Franklin mars the otherwise unblemished record.

I N C I D E N T A L L Y , IN the past seven games, Hope has been o u t -scored by its o p p o n e n t s 248-65.

Still, I am conf iden t of victory t o m o r r o w . For one thing, percent-age is on the side of the Dutch. You can ' t lose ' em all.

F u r t h e r m o r e , t o m o r r o w is Homecoming , and Hope has had a remarkable ability to win Home-coming games the past few years. In 1966. first-place Albion came into Holland wi thout a defeat . The f i red-up Du tchmen , however, knocked off the Bri tons, 1 2-9.

TWO SEASONS ago, Hope de-fenders in tercepted seven Adrian passes at Homecoming and the Dutch beat the Bulldogs, 19-7. And last year, J o n Cons t an t came off the bench t o replace the in-jured Groy Kaper and led the Dutch t o a 33-28 t r i umph over the Olivet Comets .

T o m o r r o w ' s o p p o n e n t s will be those same Comets , led once again by qua r t e rback Eric Witzke, a f ine passer. T h u s far. Olivet has fash-ioned a ra ther poor 1-4 record.

In the second half of the Alma game last Sa tu rday , Coach De-Ve t t e ' s crew looked as if it was finally s tar t ing to put it all togeth-er. The o f f ense ' s 82-yard scoring drive was par t icular ly pleasing to the eye. In fact , that ball game could have been much closer, had it not been for a bad snap f r o m center and a f u m b l e d pun t .

MAYBE T O M O R R O W all the pieces will fall in place for the D u t c h m e n . And maybe, just may-be, we'll be able t o see Carl ton Golder back deep on kickoff and punt re turns .

1 am so con f iden t that Hope will defea t Olivet t o m o r r o w that I am going to make this solemn vow: If the Du tchmen lose, I will hurl myself f laming and naked f r o m the roof of the Emmie House immedia te ly fo l lowing the game. Hopefu l ly , the Dutch will c o m e th rough with a victory.

plunged over for his first of th ree t o u c h d o w n s . J o h n Fuzak added the point a f t e r and Alma led 7-0 with nine minu te s left in the first quar ter .

The Alma defense held the D u t c h m e n on their next series of downs and H o p e pun ted to the Alma I 2.

F r o m that po in t . Alma quar ter -back T o m Jakovac moved his team 88 yards in 11 plays t o paydir t . The big play was a 52 yard run by J akovac a round right end for the t o u c h d o w n . F u z a k ' s conversion was good and Alma led 14-0.

A F T E R TWO punt exchanges . Alma scored again in the second quar te r with 3 :49 remaining.

The Scots drove 73 yards in 12 plays with Clark picking up his second score on a n o t h e r five yard run. Fuzak ' s kick was good and the Scots were leading 21-0.

Because of the score and the s t ubbo rn Scot defense , H o p e quar te rback Groy Kaper was forced t o go t o the air. S tar t ing f rom the Dutch 24 , Kaper hit t w o quick passes to end Bill Bekker ing and flanker Rich F r a n k .

T H E N ON T H I R D and fou r , Kaper tossed a little square-out pass t o Bekkering. T h e senior end threw a n i f ty f ake at the Alma cornerback and b roke free d o w n the sideline all the way for H o p e ' s first score. The play covered 69 yards.

H o p e ' s defense d idn ' t give up a first d o w n to t h e Scots on Alma ' s first t w o offens ive series of the second half , bu t u n f o r t u n a t e l y the

Dutch o f f ense gave their oppo-nents all the breaks they needed.

On Hope ' s first o f fens ive play, the snap f r o m center was f u m b l e d and Alma's Jim D o h m recovered on the Dutch 43 . The Hope de-fense held here , but Pete Gr imes f u m b l e d the Alma pun t and Frank J e r e m y recovered for the Sco t s on the Dutch 10.

IT TOOK ALMA four d o w n s to score as Clark finally went over f r o m two yards ou t . F u z a k ' s kick was good and the Scots led 28-7.

Alma scored again on its next offensive series a f t e r Steve List ran back a Hope p u n t 25 yards to the Dutch 45 . Larry Hour t i enne scored the t o u c h d o w n on a one-yard dive. Jakovac kicked the ext ra point and Hope trai led 35-6.

HOPE L O O K E D like league champions on their next of fens ive set of downs as they moved the ball 82 yards in nine plays. The second Dutch t o u c h d o w n came on an 11 yard pass f r o m Kaper to Bekkering. T h e t w o poin t conver-sion a t t e m p t fai led.

T h e D u t c h m e n scored again with five m i n u t e s expired in the final s tanza. Harry R u m o h r scored for the Dutch on a two yard run.

T h e big plays of the 60-yard drive were a 35-yard pass f rom Kaper to Bekker ing and a c lutch f o u r t h d o w n 23-yard pass t o F rank . The extra point a t t emp t was wide of the uprights .

A L M A C O N C L U D E D the game 's scoring a f t e r a 64-yard march c l imaxed by a 14-yard t o u c h d o w n pass f r o m Jakovac to Rick Manzardo . J akovac ' s kick was good for the 42 po in t .

Alma College upsets Dutch harriers, 15-49

by Bill Hoffman anchor Reporter

The Dutch harriers lost ano the r MIAA dual meet Sa tu rday , their second upset in th ree league out-ings. The Alma Scots, a s t rong con tende r for the cross c o u n t r y championsh ip , de fea t ed Hope by a score of 15-49.

T h e score, however , was not indicative of the Du tch per for -mance. T h e last dual defea t suf-fered by the harriers was against Calvin, 15-48. T h o u g h the scores are similar, the t imes weren ' t . J i m Matt ison, who was S a t u r d a y ' s f irst

D u t c h m a n to cross the f inish line, improved his t ime by be t t e r than two and a half m i n u t e s over that of the Calvin meet .

Gene Haulenbeek be t t e red his Calvin time by 18 seconds , yet he was out p e r f o r m e d by bo th Matti-son and Bruce G e e l h o e d . Bob Scot t ran his best race chopp ing 48 seconds off his t ime in the Calvin meet . If H o p e had run as well against Calvin, the harriers could have b roken two or three r u n n e r s in to the top five places.

H o p e has a chance t o even thei r MIAA record t o m o r r o w with a H o m e c o m i n g victory over Olivet.
