Hope's RA's Face a Dilemma

April IH. 10(19

C A M P U S R I I L K S - Cha r l e s Schoeneck a n d coed Sue Rose discuss the two c a m p u s rules they a r e b r eak ing as they talk on the Van Vleck fire escape. These, unlike other infract ions , were cleared with the RA.

Housing Rules Violators Escape Notice of RA's

By Lynn Jones Assistant News Editor

The resident adv i so r on the Hope College c a m p u s is the m a n or w o m a n in the middle of a nas ty si tuat ion.

An RA must uphold the rules of the College, even those rules in which he himself does not be-lieve. He is expected to be a conf idant of the students and at the s a m e time be a law-enforcer. He is expected to enforce all rules even though he knows that the s ame rules a re not being enforced by other RA's.

IN T H E MIDST of this touchy si tuat ion, the Dean of Students office has been t ry ing to re-evalua te the role of the RA.

According to women ' s RA Shir-ley Curtis, The RA's purpose has unfor tunate ly turned out to be, in most cases, that of a police-

There will likely be a signifi cant change in the s tructure of the Association of Women Students next year, designed to consoli-date its b ranches and el iminate the o rgan iza t ion ' s legislative func-tion.

T H E PLAN HAS been worked out by Council president Debbie Delp, Activities Hoard president Julie Morgan and Dean Jeanette Sprik, and was presented to the executive b o a r d s of the Council and Activities Hoard Monday . It will now go to AWS as a whole before being presented to the women students.

The change is being m a d e in part because of the recent restruc-tur ing of the student government . Under the new plan most of the work of the present Council , which is largely legislative in na ture , would be handled by the Student Congress . This would avoid dup-lication of activities and provide a single more effective women ' s o rgan iza t ion more in line with AWS as it exists on other cam-pises.

T H E PROPOSAL calls for the jo in ing of the two present b o a r d s under a single president. Miss Morgan , Activities president, ex-plained that one of the m a j o r problems of the current s t ructure is a lack of famil iar i ty on the part of women students concern ing the specific functions of each b o a r d . The consol idat ion would hope-fully solve this problem as well as the problem of communica -tion between the two b o a r d s them-selves.

man , a l though m a n y RA's have established close re la t ionships with the students on their cor r idor or wing and thus established a pleasant a tmosphere .

Several RA's in the women ' s d o r m s have instigated their own " C o m m o n C o u r t e s y " p lans on their individual cor r idors . The purpose of the plan is to free the RA of the pol iceman role and allow her to be on a freer bas is with the girls and thus establish a more pleasant a tmosphere .

T H E E N F O R C E M E N T of rules, such as quiet hours , would be left up to the individual girl. The r eason ing behind this is that a girl of college age should In-able to take the responsibil i ty of p rov id ing herself a quiet place to study, ra ther than to run to the RA whenever someone makes too much noise.

The new AWS would be divided into committees to handle t h e v a r ious facets of the o rgan i za t i on ' s concern. Il would a l so conta in an inter-residential council consis t ing of R.A.'s and d o r m floor repre-sentatives. This council would be part of a new system of floor government in the d o r m s with each living unit sending repre-sentatives to the house b o a r d . The role of these representat ives would be oriented toward the social as-pects of d o r m life and would not conflict with the role of the R.A. The purpose of this c h a n g e is to try to effect better representat ion.

U N D E R T H E NEW st ructure the vice president would be in c h a r g e of activities, the position co r re spond ing to Activities Hoard IVesident under the present struc-ture. Incorpora ted into the activi-ties function of the reorganized AWS would be thecoord ina t ion of do rm activities and the sending of a representat ive to the Kxtra-curr icu lar Activities Committee.

Miss Morgan a l so mentioned the possibility of ex officio mem-bership on the AWS executive boa rd for the presidents of the other c a m p u s women ' s o rgani -zat ions . such as Mor tar Hoard , Pan Hellenic Hoard and WAA.

MISS DELP. Council president, stated that the reorgan iza t ion was part of a na t ionwide re-examina-tion of the role of AWS on c a m pus and was noth ing peculiar to Hope. She a l so emphas ized that the pro-posal is just in the p lann ing s tage and that no final decis ions have yet been made . Hopeful ly , how-ever. the plan will be worked out in its final form within the next few weeks, she noted.

The R A j o b a m o n g the men h a s m a n y of the s a m e problems.

O F T E N RA'S ARE reluctant to enforce the college rules to the fullest extent because they a r e a w a r e that rules are enforced to very different degrees depend ing upon the RA and the living unit.

Rules are enforced most strict-ly in Kollen Hall, a l t hough en-forcement there m a y v a r y accord-ing to the RA. Cot tage rules are usua l ly much more relaxed, a g a i n depend ing u p o n the RA. the a m o u n t of time he spends out of the living unit, and his per-sonal beliefs about the wisdom of college regulat ions . Rules in the fraterni ty houses a r e largely unenforced, especially since the RA is chosen f rom a m o n g the members of each fraterni ty.

IN VIEW OF these p rob l ems the Dean of Students office m a d e sugges t ions for RA's for next year . The e m p h a s i s of the RA's role will be on his funct ion as a counselor or adv i so r ra ther than a pol iceman.

According to Jeanette Sprik. As-sociate Dean of Students, the RA needs to be more* of a resource [)erson and should be "s tudent deve lopment" oriented. Miss Sprik suggested that there should be m o r e w o r k s h o p s to aid the RA's in their work with students. She a l so suggested that the RA's should initiate both academic and social p r o g r a m s and should " p r o d the women to be involved in c a m p u s activities."

T H E RA DOES not necessari ly have to be an extrovert , but should be able to t ake the responsibi l i ty for other.- well being, said Miss Sprik. She added that the RA i.s expected to be in the d o r m a ma-jor port ion of the time, but that she would not specify the exact number of hours . The time re-quired in the d o r m will differ f rom the beginning of the year when the freshmen will need m o r e assis tance, to the spr ing when they are better adjus ted .

In selecting the RA's. the d e a n s are looking into using tests such as the Meyer-Hrigges persona l i ty test to help them to be more ob-jective.

Steve Lammers . a fo rmer Hope student, died on March 28 fol lowing a b ra in h e m o r r h a g e . He was 20 years old.

I-'uneral services were held at the First Reformed Church of Den ver. Colo., on April I. Last F r i d a y a memor ia l service was held for Mr. Lammers in Dimnent Memori-al Chapel .

Mr. L a m m e r s attended Hope for two years . He t ransfer red to Mich-igan State I 'n ivers i ty in the fall, where he earned a 3 .8 grade-poin t ave rage , accord ing to a fr iend, l ie was a Dean ' s List student at Hope.

A c o m m u n i c a t i o n s m a j o r , his chief ex t ra -cur r icu lar interest at M S I ' was the N a v i g a t o r s , an in-t e rdenomina t iona l g r o u p for which he served as a g o v e r n i n g council member.

He is survived by his paren ts , a y o u n g e r bro ther and his g r a n d -parents .

Apparen t ly . Hope College women a re experts at conceal ing v io la t ions of rules f rom their resi-dent adv i sors .

Resident Advisors and house mothers seem to be satisfied with the enforcement of rules in their dormi tor ies . Vet residents indicate lli.it " a l t h o u g h ev e rybody isn't in-v o k e d . rules a re broken m o r e than occasional ly .

A FEW RA'S appa ren t ly feel that "it happens in other places, but not here ."

Others say that they are a w a r e of v io la t ions happen ing in their

dormi tor ies , but that they are un able to do any th ing about them.

Perhaps the greatest problem h a s been illegal entry and exit of a d o r m i t o r y after closing. T o deal with this. Associate Dean of Students Jeannet te Sprik sent a m e m o r a n d u m to all women on March 21 . informing them that illegal exit or entry will be

punished by a 8 2 5 fine, c ampus -ing lor one week, and a letter sent to the v io la ter ' s paren ts in-fo rming them of the s i tuat ion.

PERIODIC BED checks will be held to enforce this rule. A num-ber have a l r eady been held, and h a v e found women b r e a k i n g the rule. Mrs. M a r y Tel lman, house mother in Phelps Hall, said that three women were found to he in viola t ion of the rule in a single week.

Drinking in r o o m s is another v io la t ion difficult to detect. Kither the residents of a d o r m or the RA's themselves know that this does happen to some degree, but that individual cases a r e hard to spot . They add , however, that the practice is not at all widespread.

The consensus of the RA's and house mothers interviewed is that the c h a n g e in the s m o k i n g rule a n d the possibili ty for senior women to ob ta in keys for the d o r m i t o r y h a s cut d o w n on vio-lat ions.

Miss Sprik added that the policy of s igning in and out of the dormi-to ry at night will come up for e x a m i n a t i o n . " I ' m sure that a lot of sign-out now is inva l id , " she said.

DEAN OF S T U D E N T AFFAIRS Rober t D e Y o u n g h a s a d d e d a

s t ruc tu re by s e n d i n g a letter to the p a r e n t s

of H o p e s tuden ts to g a u g e their r eac t ion

to a c a m p u s issue. Th i s is a n u n f o r t u n a t e a d d i t i o n , one that hope fu l ly will no t be

repeated on die H o p e Col lege c a m p u s .

H o p e Co l l ege exists for the intellectual a n d sp i r i tua l deve lopmen t of its s tudents .

As such it shou ld g e a r all its activit ies to

the en r i ch ing of the s tudent ' s men ta l a n d

p e r s o n a l life. It h a s been p r o p o s e d tha t in terv is i ta t ion is one m e a n s t h r o u g h which to reach this g o a l .

Whether it is a g o o d m e a n s h a s been the subject o f c o n s i d e r a b l e d e b a t e r e c e n d y —

deba te t h a t has been cons t ruc t ive , r e l evan t

and enl ightening . Yet we d o u b t whether

the op in ion ol p a r e n t s is neces sa ry or

v a l u a b l e in this deba te . T h e Col lege com-

mittee s t ruc ture s h o u l d be ab le to de t e rmine

ior itself whether in tervis i ta t ion is consis-

tent with its p h i l o s o p h y of educa t i on . It is difficult to see how the r eac t i ons of p a r -

ents w h o a r e less t h a n exper t in e i ther

educa t i on or the (Christian p h i l o s o p h y of educa t ion is v a l u a b l e .

Hut il such i n f o r m a t i o n m u s t be ob-

ta ined , it is essent ia l tha t the case be pre-

sented m o r e objectively than w a s the c a s e

in the D e a n ' s letter. T h e letter posed the

quest ion a s " W h e r e d o we d r a w the l i n e ? "

a s if the reques t for par ie ta l h o u r s was a

s u r g i n g s tudent tide that h a s t o b e s t e m m e d

s o o n e r or la ter . T h i s seems to be a g r o s s mi s r ep re sen t a t i on of the s i tua t ion .

TH E R E A L Q U E S T I O N is whether in te rv is i ta t ion is a c o n t r i b u t i o n to a H o p e Col lege e d u c a t i o n , but th is

is never ment ioned in the letter. A l so to ta l ly neglected a r e the a d v a n t a g e s tha t m i g h t accrue f r o m such a p lan . T h e p a r e n t s a r e

no t told t h a t men a n d w o m e n c a n n o t s tudy a n y w h e r e toge ther a f te r the l i b r a r y closes,

even on weekends . T h e y are not told that the re is litde or n o p r i v a c y to be h a d a n y -

where on c a m p u s . Yet these facts a r e cer-

t a in ly per t inen t to the d i scuss ion . When

the ques t ion is posed in such a l o a d e d

m a n n e r , a 5 to 2 r a t i o is h a r d l y su rp r i s ing .

In shor t , the D e a n ' s letter to p a r e n t s was a m i s t a k e from beg inn ing to end. We

h o p e tha t the A d m i n i s t r a t i o n can l e a r n f r o m exper ience .

b o r n e frui t . And despite the d e l a y , I th ink

you will a g r e e t ha t the project h a s been

tire H o p e Co l l ege when we s a y that this

In an h o u r ' s t ime it concentra tes the pas s ions of m a n -k i n d . " He fur ther describes it as " a pro-found ly m o v i n g inqui ry into guilt , ad-dressed specifically to the pos t -war w o r l d " a n d as a "b r i l l i an t ly c o m p o s e d one-act d r a m a in a Perandel lo style of specula t ion a n d i n q u i r y . " G e r m a n audiences found Ru tenborn ' s work had such " r e l evance and w a s so bo ld ly a n d ingenious ly expressed that his p lay h a d a long run in a West Berlin thea t re . "

Pe rhaps the s t r ik ing difference between these two reviews speaks to a p rob lem sha red b y m a n y of us w h o s tand in the Chr i s t ian t rad i t ion : the p rob lem of not a l lowing an over-react ion to o u r back-g r o u n d to impa i r our j u d g m e n t of some-th ing inherent ly worthwhile .

Dear Edi tor , I h a v e just f inished r e a d i n g y o u r edi-

tor ial entitled " T h e Chr i s t i an Cho ice" in you r March 15 copy. It h a s led m e to d o some th ink ing on the issue since I w a s a t t end ing Hope las t year a n d s aw this t rend deve lop ing .

A C T U A L L Y , T H E Chr i s t i an is not d o i n g the choos ing ; the title is mi s l ead ing in this respect; n o r is it a Chr i s t i an choice. The choice is m o r e a n idealistic one.

In the past few years a n d present it h a s

become the genera l concensus , at H o p e Col-lege and m a n y other places of h igher learn-ing, that school r egu la t ions inhibit a stu-dent ' s free t hough t and genera l respons i -bility. 1 d i sagree . Let me use y o u r m a i n d r ive in the article as an example .

IT W O U L D B E h a r m f u l to Hope Col-lege if the school did not check into the credi tabi l i ty a n d p u r p o s e of school or-gan i za t i ons . The school you attend h a s set certain s t a n d a r d s to live u p to. Do you believe it r ight for the school to a p p r o v e of o r g a n i z a t i o n s that work aga in s t or un-de rmine what the school s t a n d s for a n d teaches?

To let these o r g a n i z a t i o n s r u n loose without con t ro l would not be for the best interest of the school or the s tudent . How would they be ab l e to tell which o r g a n i -za t ions were for the betterment of the stu-dent a n d school without checking their p u r p o s e ou t? If it is a respectable o r g a -nizat ion with a g o o d p u r p o s e the school would definitely a p p r o v e .

MR. E D I T O R , A "Col lege that . . . . to lerates all aspects of dissent a n d non-c o n f o r m i t y " is not a Chr i s t ian " l i b e r a l " college, but a Berkeley. The real ques t ion is d o y o u want a "little Berke ley" or a Chr i s t ian College.

I would like to know what is w r o n g with d ress regu la t ions , chapel require-ments a n d a p p r o v a l of c a m p u s o r g a n i -zat ions . 1 d o not believe the schoo l ' s regu-lat ions were set there for the s tuden t ' s d e g r a d a t i o n but for his welfare.

DO YOU W A N T a school with dig-nity and h o n o r or d o you want to rep lace it with dissent a n d n o n c o n f o r m i t y ? 1 hope H o p e College k n o w s where it is g o i n g , a n d that it does not s t r a y too f a r f r o m its t ra-dition, g o a l s and s t a n d a r d s which you quoted f r o m the 1968-69 ca t a logue . If it s t r a y s t oo f a r I 'm a f r a i d it will lose its identity a n d sell h u m a n i t y just a n o t h e r step d o w n the r o a d of secular i sm.

Sincerely, Dav id DeVries
