Nixon announces draft reduction of 50,000 by Andy Mulder anchor Reporter On September 19, President Nixon announced a 50,000-man cut in the draft calls for the remainder of this year and prom- ised to issue draft reforms by executive order if Congress did not vote on his legislation. THE OCTOBER call for 29,000 men will be spaced out over the final three months of this year. The Administration plans calls of 10,000 in October and November, and 9,000 in Decem- ber. THE OPINION OF the moti- vating rationale for the President's action has been mixed. President Nixon and Defense Secretary Laird at the Sept. 19 news confer- ence stressed the declining mili- tary man-power needs and a desire to rectify the inequities in the 1967 draft law. The New York Times, how- ever, in a front page story on Sept. 20, stated that Administra- tive officials have conceded that the timing of the announcement was geared to lessen anti-war sentiment on college campuses. THE ARTICLE continued by saying, "a cooling of the campus protest would be expected to im- prove the bargaining position of the Nixon Administration in try- ing to achieve a negotiated settle- ment of the Vietnam war in Paris." The proposed draft cutbacks and reforms could be aimed at deterring such protest action as is planned by the Vietnam Morator- ium Committee. The Committee, staffed primarily with veterans of the McCarthy and Kennedy cam- paigns, is calling for the national shut down of all normal university activities on Oct. 15. SUPPORTED BY campus edi- tors and student-body presidents around the country, the commit- tee hopes to 4t free students to carry on anti-war messages to the general community." Using door-to-door canvassing techniques, the committee hopes to unite labor, business, profes- sional and civil rights groups into an escalating series of moratoriums. GENERALLY, MOST student leaders and college presidents ex- press doubt that cutbacks in draft calls would substantially reduce gtudent dissent. Calvin H. Plimpton, president of Amherst College, said that draft reform might "help part way." But he added: "All you have to do is to look at Canada, where they're having their student unrest, to see that the draft and even the war are only part of the problem." NATIONAL STUDENT Association President Charles Palmer has called Mr. Nixon's announcement "a meaningless attempt to pull the wool over peoples' eyes." Mr. Palmer con- tinued by saying that there would be no diffusion of student dissent until there is "a cease-fire in the war and an abolition of conscrip- tion." Despite the reaction of most college leaders, the Administra- tion is pressing hard for draft reform. President Nixon's pro- posal of May 13 which is being considered by the Congress is de- signed to "remove from vulner- ability to the draft all young men between the ages of 20 and 26, ... and provide for draft eligibility only for those 19 years of age under a system of random selec- tion." AT THE PRESENT time, there are basically four methods in- volved in the decision for draft reform. Under the current system, all physically and mentally quali- fied men between 19 and 25 constitute the draft pool. Men without deferment are drafted.

The need for an evaluation of the foreign language requirement was referred to the AAB by the Student Standing and Appeals Committee. According to Dr. Irwin Brink, who last year served as a member of the Student Standing and Appeals Committee, "a majority of the requests for waiving a requirement are re- quests for waiving the language requirement." Judging by the signatures of faculty members on the requests, these requests have the support of a large percentage of the faculty, Dr. Brink said. DEAN FOR ACADEMIC Af- fairs Morrette Rider added that last year "there were well over 100 requests to have the language requirement waived. This year the requests for waiving the language requirement have not slackened." Dean Rider also said that "if there is this much need by the student to have his language re- quirement waived, then it is neces- sary to examine the policy regard- ing a foreign language requirement and either establish a new policy or reaffirm the old one." MARK VANDER LAAN, a student representative on the Board, said that the reason for the increase in waiver requests is that "it is an easy way out for the student." Dean Rider replied that last year only five or six waiver re- quests were granted and it is a misconception for the student to think that the language require- ment is easily waived. DR. EZRA GEARHART, chairman of the foreign language department, said that students try to have the language requirement waived because they Uave received poor faculty counselling. The faculty allow a student to wait until his junior or senior year to fulfill his language requirement. "There are teachers who do not see the purpose of language study," he added. Dr. Hubert Weller said that the language courses have not become more difficult, but the composi- tion of the student body has undergone a change. The college is accepting students from a wider background who do not have the necessary linguistic ability. DR. BRINK ADDED that the language entrance requirement is not very strictly enforced. Stu- dents are now accepted by the college who do not have the necessary language requirements.

Studies waivers

AAB discusses requirements by Jean DeGraff anchor Reporter

The Academic Affairs Board discussed the foreign language re-quirement at its meeting last Thursday.

The need for an evaluation of the foreign language requirement was referred to the AAB by the Student Standing and Appeals Committee.

Troubled past

Reformed Church split has deep roots Editor's Note: This is the first article in a three-part series ex-amining a widening schism in the Reformed Church of America. This week's article traces the historical development of the con-troversies which relate to Hope College. Next week's article wi l l examine the present state of idealogical differences in the RCA.

A proposed merger be tween the Reformed Church of America a n d the Presbyterian Church in the U.S. was recently vetoed by the Refo rmed Church .

THE REFORMED churches in the East, composed of congrega-t ions f rom New York and New Jersey which are basically liberal in religious thought , favored the merger. The more conservative Midwestern churches, including Michigan, disapproved the pro-posal. A schism between East and West within the Refo rmed Church

by Tom Donia anchor Editor

A group of Refo rmed Church ministers and laymen has been organized for the purpose of re-ceiving draf t cards f r o m young men within the Re fo rmed Church .

THE GROUP, calling itself the Ad Hoc Commi t t ee of Re fo rmed Church Clergy and Laity for the Receipt of Draft Cards, was fo rmed during the General Synod of the RCA which met in June , 1969. Clergy and laymen f r o m the New Jersey and New York areas comprise the 24-man commi t t ee . Fou r men have turned their d ra f t cards over to the group. A f i f t h man is cooperat ing with the com-mit tee in offering his draf t card to the Classis of Queens, N.Y.

The commi t t ee sent not i f ica-t ion of the young men involved to each local draf t board and also sent carbon copies to the Nat ional Selective Service System in Wash-ington, D.C. All five of the men were exempt f rom mili tary service when they took the act ion. F o u r had 4-D clergy exempt ions , and one was classified 1-0, or con-scientious objec tor .

The financial and theological union between the Re fo rmed Church and what was to become Hope College began wi th the S e p a r a t i s t movement in the Netherlands 32 years be fo re Dr. Albertus C. Van Raalte and his followers emigrated to Nor th America.

W I L L I A M O F O R A N G E organized a State Church in the Netherlands which suppor ted be-liefs contrary to those held by m e m b e r s of t h e Re fo rmed Church. In 1834, claiming that the king had destroyed all free-dom of worship, a group of Re-formed ministers signed a docu-ment known as " T h e Ins t rumen t of Secession and R e t u r n , " and thus formally broke with the State Church. The Separatist organizat ion, calling itself the Christian Refo rmed Church of the

The s ta tement of purpose which was adopted by t h e com-mit tee states that " the members of this commi t t ee , respecting the right of Christian conscience, are const i tu ted on their own initiative to receive draf t cards of young persons who are opposed to the Selective Service System, and to offer advice and counsel to those who seek, in this and o t h e r ways, to express their ob jec t ion . Mem-bers of this commi t t ee need not be in agreement with the parti-cular mode of expression, but are in accord with the conscient ious expressions that are ind ica ted ."

REV. PONTIER stressed that " the group would not solicit d ra f t cards f rom any person ." Ins tead, men who desire to express objec-tion to the Selective Service System are invited to speak with members of the commi t t ee . A special review commi t t ee of three or four members will t h e n con-sider bo th the sincerity and the seriousness of the young person, said Rev. Pont ier .

The c o m m i t t e e discussed the possibility of set t ing up a legal aid fund to assist the young men if needed. Rev. Pontier c o m m e n t e d .

Persecutions cont inued until t he period 1831-47, when reli-gious pilgrims left the Nether lands for Nor th America. Van Raalte became a leader in the coloniza-t ion movement . In Michigan, he found an area where the Dutch could preserve their language and religion until becoming assimi-lated in to the Amer ican cul ture.

VAN RAALTE, recognizing the need fo r religious educat ional facilities in his co lony , founded the Pioneer School in 1851. With the growth of the colony, the church began t o exercise less con-trol over educa t ion . A controversy raged over church-state cont ro l of the curr iculum in the school. Van Raalte advocated a church-run inst i tut ion of higher educat ion .

cards "We may not set up a general slush f u n d of that type , but rather ask for cont r ibu t ions in each specific instance that funds are requ i red . "

SOME COMMITTEE discus-sion has occurred centered on involving non-Refo rmed Church people in the group. " F o r now, we only plan to include ministers and Refo rmed Church laymen on the commi t t ee , and we are accep-ting draf t cards of young men f rom the Refo rmed Church , " said Rev. Pont ier .

Originally, the five persons pre-sented their Selective Service cards to the General Synod at its June meeting. The Synod voted 123-107 against accepting the cards. T h e Ad Hoc C o m m i t t e e was organized to accept the cards and has met several t imes during the summer . Included in its posi-t ion papers is a compila t ion of s t a t e m e n t s of the Refo rmed Church in America on dissent, conscience and conscient ious ob-ject ion.

A PARTIAL REPORT of the General Synod ' s Ad Hoc Commit -tee recognizes that " the Synod has suppor ted the principle of civil disobedience based on conscience. It has also taken action opposing the present Selective Service Act . The request of the young men means the involvement in an act of civil disobedience to which some can or canno t subscribe for reasons of conscience. The young men acted ou t of Christian con-science based on their devot ion to Jesus Chr is t . "

The report cont inues , "We commend them for their Christian conviction and witness, and we wish to suppor t t hem by our Christian fel lowship and nur tu re . The church is obligated to respect the Christian conscience of those moved t o t ake this action and equally the right of those who do not feel moved to en te r this ges-ture of civil d i sobedience ."

failed to share his zeal. On Nov. 18, 1856, he concluded a meet ing of church members wi th a th rea t that if addi t ional f u n d s were no t fo r thcoming , he would accept a call f r o m a church in Pella, Iowa. The Re fo rmed Church of America agreed upon the need f o r a college in Hol land, but m o n e t a r y t roubles con t inued . Van Raalte spent his t ime in the East campaigning fo r funds .

W E S T E R N ERS con t r ibu ted labor but little cash. By 1856, t h e local governing body of the church, the classis, was granted partial control of the Academy by the Refo rmed Synod of Chicago. In 1857, the newly- formed Hol-land Academy separated f rom the district school.

Fr ic t ion between Van Raal te and J o h n Van Vleck, the third principal of the Pioneer School , eventually forced Van Vleck to leave, Holland. Van Raalte had , with d i f f icu l ty , raised enough money in the East to build hous-ing accommoda t ions fo r a second teacher. An a n o n y m o u s le t ter published in the local paper op-posed the cons t ruc t ion of such a building. Van Raalte b lamed Van Vleck fo r the let ter , which he considered a personal a t t ack .

ON MAY 14, 1866 , the Hol-land Academy was char tered by the Sta te of Michigan and offici-ally became Hope College. In his inaugural address the first presi-dent of Hope College, Philip Phelps, criticized the R e f o r m e d Church fo r limiting services to the Dutch language and fo r creating a "na t iona l sent iment be tween t h e gospel and the souls of m e n . " T h e title " H o p e College" was p lanned as a t ransi t ional n a m e because President Phelps hoped to add a theological school and organize the Hope Haven Universi ty.

T h e Dutch in Michigan had expressed interest in a school of theology since the beginnings of their educat ional plans. A request for a school of theology was rejected by the General Synod in 1864. Two years later , the Reve-rend Isaac Wyckhoff urged the addi t ion of a theological seminary saying, "I t was in tended and hoped that the college be a sem-inary of evangelical rel igion." Seven members of the graduat ing class sent a memoria l to the General Synod request ing facili-ties for theological s tudy at Hope College.

IN 1867 PRESIDENT Phelps proposed to the General Synod that with the addi t ion of a depar t -ment of theology, Hope College warranted s ta tus as a universi ty. The General Synod responded by authorizing a class of theology under one professor , and tabl ing the mot ion of universi ty s tanding. Though bo th the professor and the Council of Hope College pro-tested this ac t ion , the Synod still expressed re luctance to organize a theological seminary . The Synod claimed the power to select the president of any such school . Fur the r action was deferred unt i l 1869, when the Synod declared that "a university of f i f ty stu-dents , no funds and paper profes-sorships can c o m m a n d no respect and does not meet the proper idea of that t e r m . "

A mone ta ry crisis forced the General Synod to suspend classes of theology entirely in 1877. The

Synod of Chicago vehement ly objec ted , claiming that Eastern churches were no t fulfi l l ing their obligations and promises to the College. The Classis of Holland considered the suspension a " fa ta l s t ep . " In an edi tor ial of June 22, 1877, the Holland City News branded the suspension of theo-logy a "backward s tep . "

IT CONTINUED, "We have yet to hear one good reason f r o m the rich descendents of our fore-fa thers in the East . Why will they not put their hands in their pocke ts and help the ins t i tu t ion as an organ of the church in the West?" The split be tween East and West had begun to widen. In 1879, the S y n o d upheld the minor i ty view and officially dis-solved the d e p a r t m e n t of theo-logy.

Bitterness a m o n g facul ty and f r iends of the college resulted f rom the suspension of theology. The full f inancial burden fell on Easterners, as Westerners staged a boyco t t of mone ta ry suppor t . Van Raalte wro te Phelps of his d i sappoin tment in the Easterners, saying, "I hear synodical prayers for the school of the p rophe t s so dear to them. They forget tha t they also have one in the West. . . The West is to t hem some region on the m o o n . " President Phelps resigned in 1878 , and Professor Charles Scot t was named Presi-dent , a move welcomed by the East .

C H U R C H M E N FROM t he West, d is turbed by the lack of a depa r tmen t of theology and by the presence of t h e Free Masonry movement , d iscont inued pledges to the College. Some considered secession f r o m the R e f o r m e d Church . The Western churches charged that " t h e d readfu l agita-t ions which imperiled t h e very existence of the church in the West were largely the o u t c o m e of the suspension of t heo logy . " In 1885, the Synod founded a school of theology separate f r o m Hope College and chu rchmen resumed fiscal suppor t of Hope.

Since then , the schism be tween East and West has been primarily involved with mone ta ry suppor t . Churchmen have worked for the c o m m o n good of the College. In 1921, the R e f o r m e d Church of America init iated a partially suc-cessful five-year program as an appeal to churches th roughou t the count ry to help erase Hope 's financial def ic i ts .

James Tallis dies

of tumor in Dallas

Ends confusion

CLB passes new regulations James Tallis, former assistant

professor of music, died of a brain tumor Tuesday in Dallas, Texas, at the age of 39.

Mr. Tallis joined the Hope Col-lege music faculty in the fall of 1964 and in that semester organ-ized the Motet Choir. He received his Bachelor's Degree from the Eastman School of Music and his S.M.M. f rom Union Theological Seminary where he recently com-pleted work for the Doctor of Sacred Music degree.

He is survived by his wife, Joan, and his two children, Catherine and Susan.

Yesterday funeral services were held in Dallas and in a special memorial service in Dimnent Mem-orial Chapel, Dr. David Clark honored Mr. Tallis. JAMES TALLIS

weeks and have one more week to go. During this t ime, each team spends 2 hours each week night and up to four hours on Saturday training for the grueling feat of s t r e n g t h , de t e rmina t ion and "guts . "

The first day of practice was spent doing rigorous calisthenics to tone the necessary arm, back and leg muscles for the terrific strain necessary on the rope, and for the possibility of a long, night-marish stay in the pits. The first two hours of Pull practice are always pure agony as each man tries his best to last through the entire practice.

THE FRESHMEN were on the rope by the second day, finally realizing the strategy involved in the Pull. The morale girls help to provide the very necessary team and class spirit as their guys en-deavor to master the various Pull techniques. The term ^'morale" is very fitting, as the main job of these girls is to keep up the mental a t t i tude of 18 tired men and to encourage the team mem-bers who begin to weaken.

At last Monday's practice, the freshmen had 38 men and about

twice that number of prospective morale girls. The enthusiastic cheering of the girls reflected keen class spirit.

The freshman coaches, juniors Hoss Bone, Keith Crossland and Doug Westveer, say the freshmen have the "guts" to win.

THINGS WERE quieter over on the sophomore side. Only 28 men showed up with no more than 20 girls standing by. How-ever, enthusiasm and a definite will to win were evident f rom the beginning of practice. The sopho-mores have a good anchor man and a year's experience going for them. After last year's defeat the sophomores appear to be anxious for victory.

The coaches for the sophomore team, seniors Denny Hendricks, Don Currie and Doug Lapham, said the team has size and strength, and the coaches are "very opt imist ic" about the out-come of the Pull.

Timing, class spirit and a strong will to win all influence the outcome of the annual Pull. Both teams have a week left to perfect t e c h n i q u e and strategy and develop the spirit required to stay high and dry.

The Campus Life Board has approved the rules and regulations with minor changes as they appear in the 1969-70 Student Hand-book.

THE MOTION to review the rules and regulations at a special meeting was passed last Friday at the monthly meeting of the CLB, after discussion of the necessity of immediate action on the subject.

The special meeting was held Monday and passage of the rules and regulations followed extensive discussion.

At the Friday meeting, student Board member Jerry May stated that the issue of rules and regula-tions tabled last year could not wait the two weeks before the regular October meeting and sug-gested that the CLB hold a special session earlier.

The Board then discussed the necessity of immediate action on the rules and regulations due to the confusion caused by the mis-understanding of parliamentary procedure last May.

STUDENT BOARD member Fran Hooper observed that the students were concerned about the seeming lack of communica-tion and were wondering if the rules in the handbook were ac-tually in effect .

Dean of Students Robert De Young stated that they were Col-lege policy unless they were changed in review by the Board. A s s o c i a t e Dean of Students Jeanette Sprik added that stu-dents claimed the rules were not valid and hence they did not have to follow them.

Dr. David Marker, chairman of the CLB, said that the Board should definitely meet again to review the issue of rules and reg-ulations in order to clarify the situation.

DEAN DE YOUNG agreed and added that " the integrity of this Board is at s take." He felt it was imperat ive that the students realize that it was through no intentional e f for t on his part that the rules were published before they were passed.

named new librarians

( O ^

The appointment of a new head librarian and reference librar-ian has been announced by Dean for Academic Affairs Morrette Rider.

The new head librarian is Edward Whittaker. He received his Bachelor's Degree f rom Murray State University in 1959 and his Master's Degree in library science f rom the University of Michigan in 1963. He has served on the library staff of the Detroit Public Library, as branch librarian in Tuscon, Arizona, and head refer-ence librarian at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, Washington. Before accepting his position as head librarian at Hope College, he served as head librarian at Whit-

worth College in Spokane, Wash-ington.

Leroy John Lebbin has accept-ed the position of assistant pro-fessor of library science and refer-ence librarian. He graduated magna cum laude f rom Hope College in 1961 and received his Master's Degree in Math in 1962 from the University of Michigan. In 1967 he earned his Master's Degree in library science f rom Case Western Reserve University. Mr. Lebbin worked at the Whirl-pool Corporat ion as informat ion systems supervisor and taught g r a d u a t e library courses at Western Michigan University be-fore receiving the position of re-ference librarian at Hope College.

Dr. Paul Fried, chairman of the history department and Director of Internat ional Education at Hope College, is reported in good condition following emergency surgery Wednesday morning in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia.

He was stricken by an attack of intestinal peritonitis while vaca-tioning in the area and was im-mediately admit ted to Yarmouth Regional Hospital, His recovery is expected to take approximately three weeks.

Dr. Fried, on a year's sabbath cal leave, had accepted a position as visiting professor of history for the Chapman CoUege Afloat pro-gram. Students in this program study on board ship as they sail around the world.

Dr. Fried has resigned his posi-tion at Chapman. He has not made plans for the fu ture as yet.

Dean DeYoung explained that last spring the list of rules and regulations came to the CLB from the Student Conduct Committee. Due to the lack of sufficient time for adequate study, former stu-dent Senate president Ron Hook moved that the rules and regula-tions be "received" and published in the student handbook as Col-lege policy until the Board could review them.

Board member Roger Rietberg referred to the fallacy in this procedure and agreed with the anchor editorial that the motion was incorrect.

REFERRING TO THE anchor editorial of last week, Dean DeYoung stated, "If we are to be embarrassed, it is because we were not iamiliaT with Robert's Rules of Order and not because we didn't know what we were doing."

Chaplain William Hillegonds moved that the rules and regula-tions which appear in the 1969-70 Handbook be accepted as the pol-icy of the College until the CLB met for review of the matter . The

Peter Nero to perform

The Grand Rapids Community Concert Association will present Peter Nero and Trio in concert Monday at 8 p.m. in the Grand Rapids Civic Auditorium.

Mr. Nero is a versatile pianist whose style ranges f rom classical piano to jazz. He performed at Hope three years ago.

The College has secured 600 tickets which are available to Hope students free in the Student Activities office. Van Raalte 102. A bus will be available if a mini-mum of 40 students sign up at least three days prior to the con-cert. Departure is at 6 :30 p.m.

If enough interest is shown, buses will be available for all out-of-town concerts. Free tickets to all Community Concerts in cities other than Holland are also available. Hope students will be admitted free to local concerts by showing their student identifica-tion.

motion carried and the review was put on the agenda for a special meeting to be held this past Mon-day.

IN THAT MEETING, the Board passed all the rules and regulations now in the handbook, making only minor changes in wording. The College Judicial Board system was passed in part, with the portions concerned with student appeal procedures to be studied at the Board's next regular meeting on Oct. 3.

Changing the System President Nixon has recommended to

Congress major changes in the Selective Service laws of the nation. Even if this session of Congress does not act on the proposals, the President wi l l institute changes by executive order. The most important change concerns the age group of men vulnerable to mil i tary conscription. Under the new proposals, 19-year-olds and college graduates wil l be vulnerable to the draft for one year only.

anchor editorials

This certainly takes a great deal of the uncertainty out of the draft, as no person wil l be held in suspense about his future for more than one year. The lottery sys-tems which are being considered would make the draft more equitable among eligible men. The present Selective Service laws are antique, inadequate, and unjust. We commend the President for his actions in helping to bring about a more just system.

One problem still remains, however. As the article on page two of this week's anchor points out, there are many young persons who feel that any form of mil i tary conscription violates the basic rights of the individual. They feel that no system of selective service can be just. We agree wi th this position, and heartily support respons-ible individual action such as that taken by the five men who turned their draft cards over to the Ad Hoc Committee of Ministers and Laity for the Receipt of Draft Cards.

Some persons contend that whi le the system of selective service is inherently unjust, the war in Vietnam makes some sort of compulsory mil i tary service neces-sary. While this argument carries some weight, and President Nixon undoubtedly ordered the draft reduction as the result of plans to cut back U.S. t roop commitment in Vietnam, there apparently are other underlying causes for the President's deci-sion. The New York Times quotes a White House spokesman as saying that growing discontent wi th the war itself was respons-ible, in part at least, for the move. Specifi-cally the Times notes that the nationwide Vietnam moratorium, scheduled for Oct. 15 on campuses in the United States, was influential in bringing about the proposals for change in the draft setup.

If it is true that the President (and, hopefully, Congress as well) is sensitive to public opinion and the opinions of stu-

dents, then i t is important that we make known our opinions through constructive channels. The Vietnam morator ium repre-sents the opportuni ty to demonstrate dramatically opposition to the war and to the draft . It is a highly organized and sophisticated means of showing concern throughout the nation for the policies and laws of the Federal government. It wi l l also serve to inform those who do not know all the facts about the present Selective Ser-vice System, the proposals for change, the war, and mil i tary and foreign policy.

Students have been encouraged by the President's recent announcements. Partial withdrawal of troops f rom Vietnam or even basic changes in the draft system are only beginning steps, however, and do not placate or postpone the need to continue to show opposition to both the draft and the war.

A t Hope College, plans are already under way for discussions, forums, door-to-door canvassing and student participa-t i on groups. Certainly the academic atmosphere of the moratorium wi l l con-tr ibute to every student's knowledge of the topic as well as provide a responsible format for criticism and opposit ion. If demonstrations of this sort do influence our nation's leaders, then there can be no doubt that this moratorium is well worth one school day.

Lasting presence James Tallis, formerly of the Hope

College music department, died Tuesday.

For personal reasons, Mr. Tallis has not been on this campus for over a year. But that sounds strange, for his influence is reflected powerful ly nearly every day. He organized and directed the Motet Choir, f i l l ing a need for a very precious type of music too often ignored. Feeling that the school is here for the students, he put forth this music for them, and then created an audience where there was none. The Motet Choir lives today on record and in memory -a memory hard to lose.

Mr. Tallis was also a man. Students talked to him, and he listened, and he talked to them. He tried, as a teacher, to share his love of music wi th them, and he tried, as a man, to share his love of students wi th them. Mr. Tallis is a lasting presence in all who know him and his music. We mourn his leaving, but we applaud his presence.

Readers speak out

Role of the student In 1965, the Profile Commi t t ee , com-

posed of a panel of Hope professors, redefined the goals of Hope College. The s tuden t ' s role in this liberal educa t ion is to perhaps be unders tood in this way: " T h e

dear editor

Hope College s tudent . . . should possess the mental ability and the positive motiva-tion necessary for him to prof i t f rom vigorous pursuits a long with an under-standing and apprecia t ion of the college's broad aims and purposes. The longer he is a s tudent member of the academic com-munity the greater becomes his responsibi-lity to unders tand his role as a con t r ibu to r to the learning of his fellow s tudents , to respect them as individuals, and p romote the spirit of inquiry and c o m m i t m e n t " (chapte r 1, page 5). There are several quest ions we must ask in light of this s t a tement .

Have s tudents assumed their role as integral parts of the Hope c o m m u n i t y ? Have we become responsible citizens, "con-t r ibu tors to the learning of our fellow s tuden t s?"

Tradi t ional ly , s tuden t s have unders tood their role as one of par taking in educa t ion . We have been trained in this process and

def ine our existence here primarily in this light. It is an individual e f fo r t and just as this blatant individualism has produced uninvolved segments of the larger com-muni ty of America, so has it made it diff icult for most s tuden t s to realize their roles as " c o n t r i b u t o r s . " We have " l ea rned" not to unders tand our ac t ions on the basis of their ramif ica t ions for o the r members of our c o m m u n i t y but usually on the indivi-dual level. The liberal educa to r ' s goal of developing talented, involved ci t izens has not been realized. If a s tudent is to become responsible, can decisions be made for him? Must he not be placed in a si tuation which forces him to fo rmula t e his own set of v a l u e s - n o t as in relat ion to a higher au thor i ty but in relation to his peers? In this way he can become a responsible citizen. As s tudents have not demons t ra ted significant responsibil i ty, the fear that we may treat liberty as license is not un-grounded.

Yet if we can only develop this respon-sible ci t izenship by part ic ipat ing more acti-vely in decisions necessitated by increased liberty ( to decide whether indeed it will be license) can we a f fo rd not to negotiate such changes? We feel that mos t decisions now conf ron t ing the s tudent only fu r the r isolate the s tudent and do no t necessitate that he become aware of his cit izenship role in this c o m m u n i t y as it engulfs the classroom and social sphere. We must break this circle of mediocr i ty with all due insight and conf idence .

It's only a game by Art Buchwald L

W A S H I N G T O N - " C o a c h Nixon, now that the professional foo tba l l season has s tar ted, could you give me some idea of how your team looks?"

"I d like to make one thing perfect ly clear. I believe I've got a good t eam, a hard-working team and a t eam that could win ano the r championship in 1972 . "

" Y o u ' v e got some tough opposi t ion . How do you think you' l l do against the Inf la t ion Rocke t s?"

" N o problem. I t 's just a quest ion of everyone holding the line. If we tackle hard we can lick t h e m . "

"What will your overall s trategy be when you take on In f l a t ion?"

"I don ' t believe it 's the coach 's j ob to get into things like strategy. Obviously, I don ' t want Inflat ion to run away wi th the game, but I don ' t think I should call the signals f rom the bench. I prefer to give David Kennedy the ball and let him run with i t . "

"What abou t your game with the Segre-gation Boosters? The scout ing repor ts indicate they ' r e tough this yea r . "

"I natural ly would like to beat Segrega-tion as m u c h as anybody . But I d i f fer with the Monday-morning quar te rbacks on how we can do it. I 'm against rushing, and I don ' t believe we should try to score against them every t ime we've got the ball. I 'm satisfied with a first down every once in a while in contrast to those who are always demanding t o u c h d o w n s . "

"There is some quest ion as to w h o will be calling the signals against Segregation. Some say that so far Strom T h u r m o n d has been calling t h e m . "

" D o n ' t believe everything you read in the sports pages. St rom was on my team f rom the beginning and I have the highest respect for him, but that doesn ' t mean that I 'm going to put him in the game. I 've got two great backs in John Mitchell and Bob

Finch and if they can ' t defeat the Segrega-tion Boosters, n o b o d y can . "

"Are y o u planning to play Mel Laird against the Congressional Agi ta to r s?"

" I certainly am. He's the best defense man I've got . We beat the Agi ta tors in the ABM Bowl and we'll beat t h e m in the p layof f s . "

" Y o u ' v e been using Spiro Agnew spar-ingly so far. Is this because y o u d o n ' t want him to get h u r t ? "

' 'No , it isn ' t . Spiro had no exper ience when he came on t h e team, and he 's just learning the plays. I 'm very pleased with his progress. And it 's a great comfo r t fo r me to know he 's suited up and sit t ing on the b e n c h . "

" N o w , abou t the big game with the Hanoi Tigers. You said at t he beginning of the season tha t you knew how to win this one. Some sports writers are beginning t o doub t i t . "

" I d idn ' t say I could win it. I said I'd be willing to set t le for a tie. At this stage I 'd even be willing to call the game o f f . But Hanoi wants to beat us. They play dir ty and I have no choice but to use what I've got. We still have a be t te r aerial game than they have, and their injuries are 10 to our one, yet they insist on breaking th rough our l ine."

" S o m e of the writers say that your two hal fbacks , Thieu and Ky, are playing their own game, and refuse to be coached . Does this bo ther y o u ? "

" I feel tha t Thieu and Ky are first-rate players. I inheri ted them f r o m the fo rmer coach, and while there have been differ-ences in the locker room, we still get along on the field. Besides, it 's t o o late to d rop them, even if I wanted t o . "

"Coach , one last thing. I not ice you 've done away wi th the cheer leaders ."

"Yes. I've asked the crowds to lower their voices." Copyright (c) 1969, The Washington Post Co. Distr ibuted by Los Angeles Times Syndicate .

anchor review

Look that up in your 'American Heritage'! Editor's Note; This week's a/7c/)or review is wr i t ten by anchor criti-ques editor Robert Kief t . He re-views the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Lan-guage ( A m e r i c a n Her i tage-Houghton Mi f f l in , ed. Wil l iam Morris, $7.95, $8.95, $12.50).

by Robert Kieft

With considerable f an fa re and Madison Avenue hoopla ( h o o p la) n. slang. 1) boisterous, jovial com-mot ion or e x c i t e m e n t ; 2) talk in tended t o mislead or confuse ( F r e n c h ; houp-la t ) , H o u g h t o n Mifflin and American Heri tage j u m p e d wi th unmi t iga ted alpha-betical a b a n d o n in to the diction-ary game last week in hopes of toppl ing Mr. Webster f r o m the lexicographical th rone which he has now held for no small n u m b e r of years. The i r American Heritage Dictionary of the English Lan-guage (Amer ican Heri tage-Hough-ton Miffl in, William Morris, $7 .95 , $8 .95 , $12.50) is the pro-duct of five and one-half years of labor, $ 4 , 0 0 0 , 0 0 0 w o r t h of pub-l i s h e r ' s r e s e a r c h m o n e y , $ 1 , 0 0 0 , 0 0 0 wor th of advert ising and the t ime of h u n d r e d s of people and is a ra ther handsome job .

THE SINGLE, most immedi-ately s t r iking thing about the dic-t ionary is i ts physical appearance . It is a large book ^ " x 1 1 ' ^ " ) and sat isfyingly weighty (about five pounds ) . T h e paper is of a heavy s tock , t hus el iminat ing the a n n o y i n g " see - th rough" e f fec t tha t many dict ionaries have; and there is a great deal of white space in the margins which gives the layout a very f ree and open ap-pearance which is res t fu l to the eye. T h e t ype face is large, simple and eminen t ly readable.

By far the biggest visual coup in the book (and here the Ameri-can Heritage Dictionary excels all its compe t i t ion ) is the qual i ty of the i l lustrat ions. The pho tographs , ha l f - tone drawings and maps are of a clarity and def in i t ion and size unsurpassed and, perhaps , even wi thou t peer in modern diction-ary pr int ing.

SPECIAL T R E A T S for those of us who look at pic tures first and ask abou t the words later are the wonde r fu l drawings of the god Moloch devouring a child, an

Indian h o w d a h and an au tomobi l e c l u t c h m e c h a n i s m ; haunt ing pho tog raphs of General Ambrose Burnside, a star-nosed mole and a f i rs t-century B.C. to rque ; lovely and informat ive pictorial disserta-t ions on well-digging and the Cheshire cat ; and one of the nicest tricks ever of strange alphabet ical b e d f e l l o w s - a p h o t o of Garbo in Anna Christie su rmount ing a Notre Dame gargoyle sticking its tongue out , with an ind i f fe ren t gar fish f loat ing serenely at the top of the page.

A n o t h e r impor tan t f ea tu re which, to th is reader , anyway , argues very much in the AHD's favor is its modern i ty ; it is a dict ionary which tries to cap ture the flavor of modern spoken English yet wi thou t compromise as to precision in the meaning of words.

T H E MOST impor tan t f ac to r , of course, in de termining a dic-t ionary ' s w o r t h is its ability to help one unders tand words. As far as this reviewer could tell f r o m skimming briefly through the book, the AHD accomplishes this task admirab ly . Def in i t ions are lucid, simple, to the point and couched in m o d e r n English. O n e of the strongest fea tures , verbally, of the vo lume is its a t t en t ion to word usage, bo th correct and in-correct .

There are extensive usage no tes on over 8 0 0 words which are f r equen t ly misued or are of con-troversial use. For example , AHD has a bril l iant, succinct expos i t ion of t h e d i f ference between " im-p ly" and " i n f e r , " a d is t inct ion that escaped Mr. Webster the last time he revised his d ic t ionary . Tradi t ional black linguistic sheep such as " l i k e " and " a i n ' t " are also given careful and sensible t reat-ment .

T H E AHD IS ALSO as up-to-date as possible in dealing wi th what it calls the " language of c o n f r o n t a t i o n . " By this r a the r neat euphemism, they mean slang, the language of the ghet to , and the usual four- le t ter words which children gleefully hunt fo r in more t radi t ional volumes but never f ind . For instance the ex-t r e m e l y c o m m o n expression " s h i t " is listed as having six d i f fer -ent meanings and a most intri-guing e tymology .

"We are proposing that the AAB and CLB r e c o m m e n d to President Calvin VanderWerf that he call off classes at Hope for the day , " said S tuden t Congress pres-

Other fea tures that make word-hunt ing or just plain browsing in the AHD a more en joyab le event are its f requent use of illustrative q u o t a t i o n s f r o m li terature, includ-ing tha t of o u r own day; i ts m i n i m u m of abbrevia t ions used within def ini t ions , a f ac to r which makes o ther dict ionaries so hard to deal with on occasion; and its a t t en t ion to the proper and care-ful def in i t ion of scient i f ic and technological terms, especially new ones, and to little bits of lexicographical americana such as the a i rpor t code abbreviat ion for Nor fo lk , V a . , ( O R F ) .

IN SUM, THE AHD is a dic-t ionary that has regard for the preservation of the " p u r i t y " of the language; and at the same time it is a valuable d o c u m e n t in the history of the American mind of the 1960 's because of its concern with the con temporary speaker of the language.

Ano the r f ea tu re of special interest is the section at the back of the dict ionary on the Indo-E u r o p e a n family of languages, of which English is a member . T h e article is short and concise and yet is an exciting revelation of th is dark and misty pre-historic page in our linguistic past.

And the most intriguing thing in this section is a for ty-page d ic t ionary of the c o m m o n Indo-European root words fo r lan-guages separated as far in t ime and space as Urdu, Yiddish, English

and Old Church Slavonic. It leaves one ra ther comfor t ed to k n o w that scholarship is still capable of in t roducing a little order into the apparent mess of things one lives in.

O T H E R F E A T U R E S wor th not ing are the inevitable articles at the f r o n t of the dict ionary on grammar , spelling, pronuncia t ion and the historical development of modern English f r o m its various medieval roots .

Some new and refreshing twists in the way of lead articles in the AHD are the article on the use of

the compu te r in modern linguistic analysis and s tudy and the article which def ines the phi losophy and me thods of the panel of 100 people who acted as the usage au thor i tes in the compi la t ion of the d ic t ionary . (Browse through the list of these 100; you ' l l find some interesting names.)

T H E R E ARE, of course, some faul ts to be found with the book. It t ends to be a trifle too slick and commercial ly pushy at t imes, especially in advertising its cur-rentness.

There are the inevitable over-sights (some of which are not unders tandable) in the inclusion of biographical entries (why Woody Guthr ie and not Sir Tyrone? ) ; then, too , there are problems with p ronunc ia t ion of foreign words and of people 's first names (we get the last names but not the first for some strange reason). And , the experienced reader of dictionaries will prob-ably find o ther small inadequacies depending on his interests.

However, be those things as they may, the AHD is a valuable addi t ion to modern lexicography and rather makes one want to go back to reading the dic t ionary. Its fresh, clear approach, its at t ract ive fo rma t , and its weal th of pictorial and verbal detail do a great deal to enhance the exc i tement that is in words. All in all it is a very pleasant book and one well wor th the owning.

ident Tim Liggett . "We will t hen invite speakers to the campus and coopera te with o the r s tudent organizat ions in planning discus-sions and s tudent par t ic ipat ion g roups , " he added .

President VanderWerf is recep-tive to the idea, according to Liggett. The President stated tha t the r e c o m m e n d a t i o n must be passed by the Boards in order for him to act .

The mora to r ium is sponsored by the Vie tnam Mora tor ium Com-mit tee . The New York Times cites the nat ional group as being influ-e n t i a l in Pres ident Richard Nixon ' s decision to call for new Selective Service laws as well as recent ly-announced d ra f t call cut-backs.

Last spring, an election was held t o de termine the members of the various boards of the S tuden t Congress Cabinet . In this e lect ion, none of the candidates was al lowed to campaign beyond talk-ing to individuals he might seek ou t . The candidates were no t allowed posters, mass meet ings or public speeches, except for one f ive-minute address to a group of no more than ten concerned stu-dents w h o appeared at the Cof fee Grounds on a Thursday night.

T H A T THE ELECTION tu rned f rom an exercise of responsible choice into a popular i ty contes t goes wi thout saying, and it is well that in so many cases those people who were elected combine their popular i ty with high qualif ica-t ions.

Still, it seemed to me tha t those elections represented one of the best examples of irresponsibi-lity on the part of the s tuden t government then in power , and I had hoped that the new s tuden t government would have learned f rom that election and the criti-cism leveled at its admin is t ra to rs at the t ime.

Unfo r tuna te ly , my hopes have not been realized; the first exer-cise of what might have been s tudent responsibility has also been rigged so that again, intelli-gent choice was impossible . By sett ing up the r e f e rendum on Con-gressional appoin tees in such a

way tha t the s tudent body could not consider the individuals for each appoint ive position seper-ately, bu t had to cast favorable or unfavorable votes on the ent ire slate, the adminis t ra tors of that election have again insured tha t effect ive responsible choice was t hwar t ed . What, for example, was to be d o n e if one had an object ion to just one appoin tee ; was he to reject the entire slate?

I WOULD GUESS that in most cases, s tudent voters (assuming they knew the candidates at all) simply allowed their possible reservations abou t a few indivi-duals on the slate to be over-ruled by ei ther their positive feelings fo r most of them, or their desire to get to class on t ime. In either case the exercise of s tudent responsi-bility was stifled unnecessarily by the fo rm that the r e fe rendum took , by the irresponsibility of the admin is t ra to rs of that elec-t ion.

Let me also ask another ques-t ion. I really wonder just how many members of the Hope Col-lege c o m m u n i t y understand the make-up, the workings and the s t ruc ture of their s tudent govern-ment . I know that 1 d o n ' t . And 1 wou ldn ' t be at all surprised if the members of that government also don ' t k n o w . T o my knowledge, no simple out l ine of either struc-ture or procedure has been made by its leaders to facilitate the

exercise of s tudent responsibil i ty through tha t government .

H O P E F U L L Y , SUCH a state-ment is fo r thcoming , but it is my feeling that it should have been clearly explained during orienta-t ion , at least, or that it should have already been dis t r ibuted to the whole s tudent body by now, so that ideas that had been formu-lated during the summer could already have been under consider-at ion.

My criticism is tha t s tudent leaders, t oo , seem to have fallen victim to the urge to let their special responsibili t ies slide. 1 would much rather be making tha t charge than the o ther possi-ble alternative, that in the inter-ests of speed and ef f ic iency, the leaders of the s tudent government are sacrificing the responsible part ic ipat ion of the s tudent body .

D I C T A T O R S H I P , even de facto d ic ta torship by an elite pro-fessing a desire to serve respon-sively, is always more efficient than responsible democracy and directly con t rad ic to ry to the principle of s tudent part ic ipat ion in government .

But let me again reiterate my hope that that c o m m e n t is an illegitimate criticism. And indeed, let us also hope that the new government is successful in show-ing the s tudent body that it can work responsively and responsi-bly.

Seeks to build trust

Action House gives aid to minority groups by Jan Dzurina anchor Reporter

"People are skeptical because I am white, middle-class and con-cerned," said junior Penny Morse of her experience as a volunteer in the Community Action House. The House is a referral center for those in the Holland area who are in need of health, housing and legal services.

ACCORDING TO Miss Morse, the Community Action House is instrumental in "building up a sense of trust between the two communities in Ho l l and - the tra-

ditional Dutch and that of the minority groups."

The Community Action House was organized due to "Christian concern in the community, stu-dent pressure on Hope's campus and nation-wide influences," she said. "Holland, Mich., just could-not turn away f rom its problems any longer."

A S T E E R I N G committee, composed of the Latin American Society of Holland, community businessmen and Dr. David G. Myers, assistant professor of psychology at Hope, set the

Nixon announces draft call reduction

Continued from page 1 with the law requiring that the youngest go first.

A common complaint against this policy is that young men face indecision for as long as seven years. This uncertainty compli-cates decisions on education, careers and marriage.

THE RANDOM selection or lottery system provides that in-stead of drafting oldest men first, each of the 365 days of the year would be put in a fishbowl. If, for example, March 30 were chosen, each local draft board would ex-haust its supply of men with birthdays on that date before moving to the second date to fill the draft calls.

As a result, the draft would apply only during the year after a man turned 19. If he should not be called during that single year, he would be free of the draf t , except in a period of national emergency.

A THIRD PROPOSAL is called the moving age group. Like the lottery, the objective would be to shift the year of vulnerability for those deferred for college.

Under this system, the Selec-tive Service would pick a date -say, Nov. 27. Draft calls for Jan-uary would be filled, on a oldest-first basis. Each month a different day would be selected so as not to penalize those whose birthdays fell early in the month.

THE FOURTH proposal as directed by the Administration would involve a fixed year age group. There would be no scram-bling of birthdays or shifting of the day-of-the month approach. The difference is that the year of vulnerability would be the one following the nineteenth birthday. Those deferred for college would be treated as 19-year-olds follow-ing graduation.

Administration officials feel that either the fixed age or the moving age system is the most desirable. In a New York Times article, Mr. Laird said that the Selective Service administration would conduct a one-month test of both the moving age group and fixed-year approaches to deter-mine which is "fully workable and understandable."

wheels in action last spring and summer.

MISS MORSE SAID she was "surprised" to learn that such a service as a legal aid society "just didn't exist in Holland." The only place where a poor white or Spanish-Amer ican could turn when in need was the Welfare Department "and that isn't too effective or eff ic ient ," Miss Morse noted.

M e m b e r s of the Holland community contributed furniture to adequately furnish the Com-munity Action House. The next step was to speak with church leaders who would ask their con-gregations to volunteer services for the project. Lists were made of those who volunteered to serve as babysitters, handymen, lawyers and mechanics for people in need.

JACK ELLIOT, the present d i r e c t o r of the Community Action House, helps to organize the volunteers and co-ordinate their services with the com-munity.

One major funct ion of the Community Action House is to give immediate aid to those who have a difficult time finding ade-quate housing in the area. "Even though there is a subtle kind of discrimination in housing in the communi ty , " Miss Morse noted, "it is not too difficult for Mexican-Americans to find housing."

She said that the major reason for this situation is the fact that "property owners realize that no one else would buy or rent the housing they have to offer . The housing in which members of minority groups in town are forced to live is terribly run-down and the rent is horrendous."

CONTRIBUTIONS OF furni-ture and articles of clothing f rom the community are given to those who need help. A few weeks ago Miss Morse helped a mother of eigjit find beds for each of her children.

BILINGUAL—The Community Action House living room serves as a meeting place for Spanish-Americans and volunteer social workers. Services offered by the House include legal and financial counseling for disadvantaged persons and families.

The Community Action House also provides employment ser-vices. Miss Morse related a story of one man who walked into the Center, located on East Eighth Street, one af ternoon. He was unable to find employment be-cause of a physical disability. The man, a qualified forester, was unable to feed and house his three children and schizophrenic wife.

BECAUSE HIS family rejected him as an adequate husband, father and supporter, his most immediate need was temporary housing. The volunteers at the Community Action House called the manager of the Hollander Hotel who agreed to house the man until more permanent hous-ing could be found. At present a

volunteer mechanic is fixing his car and the workers at the referral center are trying to find him employment .

The Communi ty Action House is now in the process of initiating a Legal Aid Society in the com-munity. Other projects in the plan-ning stage include setting up a task force, possibly through the Student Church of the College, to study low-income housing.

Miss Morse said that the Hol-l and a n d Z e e l a n d Housing Authori ty is now studying hous-ing slated for demolition to deter-mine the feasibility of converting it into low-income housing. Miss Morse also noted that the Comm-unity Action House itself is slated to be torn down by the College for student parking in two years.

Freedom in Black by Reginald Cohan

Language requirement

is discussed by AAB

Change is the essential process of all existence! To obs t ruct change is suicide... .

Exis tence is, in the final anal-ysis, merely f r eedom! To suppress f r e e d o m is murder . . . .

FREEDOM IS inalienable only because it is innate. Thus , what qua l i f ica t ions can be conjured up for f r e e d o m ?

But upon each request (as is warranted by the ut i l izat ion of Amer ica ' s " d e m o c r a t i c " proces-ses) for his f r eedom, the Black man is asked to show his cre-dentials. Dr. Martin Luther King responded to this by organizing his phase of the movemen t on the basis of Christ iani ty. It was all qu i te d ramat ic , but not really e f fec t ive ; for in America, Chris-t iani ty has become one of the most ef fect ive tools of the capi-talist system.

THUS, DR. KING was backed into the corner by the backf i re of 41 p r i n c i p l e s " which he had adop t ed in ch i ldhood, and which were an essential part of him. He was surely one of the most genu-ine figures, who not only profes-sed but applied Christ ian ethics!. . . and who bet rayed him?

Now, the "qua l i f i ca t i ons" have changed with the t imes, and to be e rud i te is to be free. Now, the tact

they use for containing our cul-tural, political, and social expan-sion has become complex and less detectable . Now, they even have many of our Black leaders shout-ing, t4Be educa ted so as to secure a 'pos i t ion ' where you are bound to inf luence change for Blacks."

THEY HAVE NOT gone un-heard, for m a n y Black people have been ' ' e d u c a t e d , " and as a result are re-deceived into the belief that they have "risen above" the g h e t t o existence. "Be educa ted , Negroes!" Transverse the American ins t i tu t ion of "Ed-uca t ion , " and be awarded your very own passport to the upper-middle class. "Be sophist icated, Negroes!" Come to the American university and learn to forsake the c o m m u n i t y .

But they have not s topped there . For now, the "great white l iberal" cites fo r us the qualifi-cat ions for f r e edom in bidding us to forgive, as " th i s is the greatest indication of f o r t i t u d e . " Now they exhor t us to do what they are not capable of. For if they were truly the forgivers, then they would not allow the C.I.A. to chase dissipated Germans who may (in some remote respect) have had something to do with the ex t e rmina t ion of six million

The Board also discussed the possibility of examining the entire set of college requi rements .

DR. ARTHUR JENTZ, chair-man of the AAB, suggested a change in the specific require-ments of the College. He said that now the College guides " t h e fresh-men and sophomores through a well def ined p a t h . " The require-ments could be changed so that each s tudent is required to take a

specific number of hours but not a specific set of courses in each of the three major divisions of col-l e g e c u r r i c u l u m - t h e social sciences, natural sciences and humani t ies .

Dr. Jen tz suggested that an ad hoc c o m m i t t e e of the AAB be formed to examine either the foreign language requirement or the ent i re requirement curricu-lum.

Franklin earns tie

Late score costly to Dutch by Pete Struck

anchor Reporter

For more than 58 minutes it looked like the Hope College Fly-ing Dutchmen were going to win their first game of the season. But the roof fell in as the Franklin College Grizzlies scored the tying touchdown with less than two minutes left to play in last Satur-day's game.

THE DUTCHMEN will again try to even their season mark at 1-1-1 as they travel to Wheaton College Saturday night to take on the Crusaders.

Frosh to elect

class officers Petitions for freshman class

elections were submitted yester-day for the offices of president, vice president, secretary and trea-surer.

The candidates will present their speeches to the freshman class this af ternoon at 3 in Snow Auditorium.

The campaign begins this after-noon and continues through Sun-day. Posters in campus buildings and dormitories must be removed by Sunday night.

The candidates spoke in a c a m p u s - w i d e broadcast over WTAS last night from 9:30 to 10.

The elections will be held Mon-day with a run-off election to be held on Tuesday for the top two candidates in each office if a majority vote for each office is not obtained in Monday's elec-tion.

Hope scored first in the contest Saturday night as they took ad-vantage of a Grizzly mistake. Franklin quarterback Don Mullen, while at tempting to pitch out to fullback Mike Bailey, seemed t o lose the handle on the ball and Dutchman Craig Schrotenboer pounced on the loose ball.

It took the Dutch only five plays to score from the Franklin 30. Fullback Bob Haveman scored the go-ahead points as he plunged over from the one. Mike Hinge added the extra point.

IRONICALLY, IT was a Dutch mistake that set up the first Grizzly score late in the first quarter. Hope back Peter Grimes had just returned a Franklin punt to Hope 27. On the very next play Hope quarterback Groy Kaper fumbled the snap and Franklin defensive end Gary Clark fell on the ball at the Hope 28.

Mullen hit Charles Allen with an e igh t -ya rd pass and Bailey picked up the first down at the Hope 16. Then the Dutch defense held and Franklin was faced with a fourth and six situation from the 12. The Grizzlies decided to go for the touchdown and Mullen rose to the occasion as he faded back to pass and hit flanker Keith Gerbers in the end zone for the score. Gerbers added the extra point.

HOPE FINALLY put together a sustained drive late in the second period as they covered 80 yards in 19 plays.

The drive was capped by a five-yard scamper by Haveman as he scored his second touchdown of the evening. Grizzly defender Terry Klysz then came up with the big defensive play of the night

as he burst through the Hope offensive line t o block Hinga's conversion at tempt.

F R ANKLIN THREATENED again midway through the third quarter as they marched all the way f rom their 20 to the Hope 20. Another fumble cut the drive short of the goal line, though, as Hope's Jim Leenhouts recovered the fumble.

Hope also threatened late in the four th quarter but the Grizzly defense held on their own 20 and the Dutch field goal a t tempt was wide of the mark.

FRANKLIN TOOK over at that point and began a 17-play march matching the one the Dutchmen made earlier. The big plays of the drive were a com-pleted pass on four th down f rom Mullen to Klysz and a pass inter-ference call against Hope that gave the Grizzlies a first down on the Hope 10. Gerbers swept around left end on the very next play and went untouched into the end zone.

WITH ONLY 1:30 left in the game, Gerbers could almost assure the Grizzlies of a victory with a good conversion. The score was destined to remain tied though, as Gerber's effort was just wide.

EACH TEAM WAS allowed one last opportuni ty to make a desperate bid to break the tie, but all e f for ts were futile.

Franklin out-gained the Dutch-men in all offensive departments with 308 total yards to Hope's 271. In the air Mullen was 13 of 34 for 160 yards. Bailey led the Grizzly ground game with 100 yards in 27 carries. Haveman paced the Dutch runners with 83 yards in 14 carries. Hope line-backer Tom Thomas had the only interception of the game.

AND MILES TO GO-Sophomore Gene Haulenbeek leads the pack during the opening moments of the Hope College Invitational cross country meet. Haulenbeek finished the race in eighth place, tops for any Hope runner. The Dutchmen finished last in the field of four teams.

Washington, D.C. Despite slow legislation by

Congress on President Nixon's d r a f t reform measures, it appears that 19-year-olds will be drafted first starting Jan. 1, 1970. If Congress does not pass Nixon's reform, the President will use his executive powers to put a plan into effect that would call up the oldest 19-year-olds each month . This plan would make young men vulnerable to the draft for only one year. The President's plan now in Congress would also limit draft vulnerability to one year, but those men with birth-days in the first part of the scrambled calander would be first to be called. Men with college deferments would be vulnerable only in the year after they graduate.

Still looking for that first vic-tory of the season, Hope College's football team will do batt le with the Wheaton College Crusaders tomorrow night at Grange Field in Wheaton, Illinois.
