STUDENT SENATE RESOLUTION;

Resolved that the Student Senate of Hope College, acting on behalf of those whom it represents, hereby acclaims with honor the gift of Dr. Gerrit Van Zoeren, who in a time of academic resurgence has acted in generosity, wisdom and vision by providing the student body with an expansive, modern library building, which better en-ables them to evaluate the past, to view the present, and to envision the future.

Resolved that the Student Senate of Hope College hereby extends to Dr. Gerrit Van Zoeren its deepest thanks for this act.

Church and Civil Rights

Inseparable, Says Blake "The scandal of the Christian

Church is that we are still per-plexed," stated Rev. Eugene C. Blake, stated clerk of the United Presbyterian Church in the U.S. A., at a special chapel service held Wednesday.

Speaking to the church's re-lationship to today's "ignorant, uncultured, unlettered" peoples, Rev. Blake cited an historic an-swer to this perplexity.

"The new Roman Church had to struggle to decide whether our barbaric Dutch ancestors were worthy of entering the Christian fold. They decided in favor of us. Today we wonder if we should really bother with the Negro."

"The wonder of the Christian Church is that we haven't lost our vision." Rev. Blake was ar-rested July fourth while taking part in a desegregation attempt at a Baltimore amusement park sponsored by the Congress on Racial Equality (CORE).

Racial Misunderstanding Rev. Blake feel s that the cause

of much racial misunderstanding

is a lack of imagination on the part of the average white Chris-tian. "He cannot in the least conceive of what it means to be a Negro. Because he has long been the Negro's self-presumed superior, he has a distorted view of the other's feelings and needs."

This lack of imagination was clearly shown in June when that same amusement park advertis-ed free rides for any child with good school grades. "How many white Christians," asks Rev. Blake, "did not even think of the Christian children who, see-ing the ad, were told they could not avail themselves of it be-cause they were the 'wrong' color." It is because of this type of failure that the Negro com-munity is distrustful of our at-tempts to help their cause.1'

"And we must get over this idea that we can solve the pro-blem for them. We must get be-hind the Negro leaders and sup-port their programs. We, as Christians, must help these peo-ple succeed."

The CORE demonstrations on the amusement park were finally successful. The owners voluntari-ly desegegted August 28.

Speaking to Hope students, Rev. Blake said, "On the problem of civil rights, we must use our imaginations, our talents, and our vision to get all Americans to support the rights of all Americans."

Van Zoeren Bigoraphy Reveals Generosity

by Chuck Menning What kind of man gives more

than a half million dollars to his alma mater for buiding a new library?

He must be a man with insight and generosity. He must be a man who recognizes the tremen-dous value of a college education. He must be a man who knows the necessity of books for meaningful learning. He must be a man who is dedicated to helping young people. He must be a man who has worked hard to develop his talents so successfully that he can give so much.

Such a man is Dr. Gerrit J. Van Zoeren.

In presenting to Hope College the largest single gift the col-lege has ever received Van Zoer-en made possible the building of a large new library so that he "could do the most good for the greatest number of people."

Old and New Libraries When Van Zoeren attended

Hope, the only library the col-lege had was a 20 by 20 foot reading room in Gravqs. The room housed few books and held only about a dozen students. Ac-cording to Van Zoeren, "Many students really felt cheated."

Dr. and Mrs. Van Zoeren had always intended to leave their wealth to the college, probably to the chemistry department since it has been in chemistry that Van Zoeren has been so successful.

On July 3, 1959 he gave the college $567,000 in securities for the building of the Anna Elizabeth Van Zoeren Library in memory of his wife.

1912 Graduate Van Zoeren entered Hope Ac-

ademy — a four year prep school — in 1904 at the age of 20. He

graduated from Hope College in 1912 and was the first Hope stu-dent to receive a graduate school scholarship in chemistry.

After making use of several opportunities in industrial chem-istry, Van Zoeren was called to Nobel, Canada, where he worked in the production of high explos-ives during World War I.

Following the WWI he helped develop the Holland Dye Com-pany with such genius that the president of the company once told him that if he "had been here when we started we'd all be millionaires now." He later help-ed develop several other com-panies. Of one he says, "We once even had the corner on the ben-zedrine market, although I never liked to make the stuff."

They Marched for Freedom and Equality Ingmar Bergman, the famous

Swedish movie director, has a son who is in a mental institu-tion in this country. This is one of the things I learned about this past summer. I was working in the East then. Norman Rockwell and his Chowder Club were among the guests I waited on in a Colonial hotel in the quaint little town of Stockbridge, Mass.

Aside from working, I spent a lot of time searching for the meaning of life. Many an even-ing was spent earnestly discus-sing this with friends, the most rewarding being with a guy who was very interested in the civil rights movement sweeping the country.

Toward the end of the summer, I became interested in the de-velopments of the National As-sociation for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), Com-mittee on Racial Equality (CORE) and the other active civil rights organizations. It was now in the early days of August, and report of the Imminent march on Washington reached my friend. Since he had to sell some tickets for the march, it did not take him long to sell me one. They cost $15 each and served as a reservation on one of the 40-odd buses that were char-tered to transport the Boston del-egation from Boston to Washing-ton on the eve of the march. Along with the ticket came in-formation about the schedule of procedure, goals aimed for and practical advice on what foods to bring; no meat which might spoil, only sandwiches that could keep for at least a day.

Trip to Washington It was the night of the 27th,

at the Park ground near Hunt-ingdon and Massachusetts Aven-

IRC to Pay Fee ior Delegates to Conference

International Relations Club is offering the opportunity for two interested freshmen or soph-omore students to represent Hope College and IRC at the Michigan College Workshop on Human Relations. This workshop will be hpld Oct. 25, 26. and 27 at St. Mary's Lake Camp near Battle Creek.

These two students will be part of a Hope delegation participat-ing in group dscussions on cur-rent developments in civil rights, campus human relations prob-lems and social injustices. They will also be directly involved in inter-group living with other Michigan College students.

The expenses for this week end will be paid by IRC for the two delegates chosen. Selection will be made on the basis of applica-tion forms which may be picked up at the IRC lounge in the base-ment of Graves between 3:00 to 5:00 and 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. Mon-day, Oct. 14. Additional informa-tion will be posted on the door.

ues. Already 30 buses were park-ed all the way around the Park, filled with eager passengers. All the buses had huge home-made signs on them: March on Wash-ington for Jobs and Freedom. The word Washington stood out biggest. My friend and I were on bus 10, the one with the 'g' mis-sing in 'Washington'. This dis-tinguished our bus from the others.

Each bus had a captain who was an active member of the lo-cal student civil rights associa-tion; he saw to it that every-body on board was comfortable, that the delegates were reminded of the march schedule and ihat the goals of the march were re-iterated. In addition, each cap-tain had a co-captain, two other aides and a nurse to assist him.

My friend and I were the aids on our bus. We passed around several pamphlets and the pledge sheets which all signed. " . . . I pledge that I will join and sup-port all actions undertaken in good faith in accord with time-honored democratic traditions of nonviolent protest through the courts and the legislative pro-cess. . . ." We also sold the badges and arm-bands used to identify us.

At 9:30 p.m. E.S.T., the convoy rolled. Everybody was in high spirits. Whole families had come along. Much had been incorpor-ated into this mass demonstra-tion: it was a Sunday picnic to quite a few of the participants; others considered the journey a veritable pilgrimage, having left, their jobs for the duration; to A. Philip Randolph, one of the leaders of the movement, it was the realization of a dream 30 years old.

All the way out of Boston as well as going into the Capitol City, crowds had gathered to cheer us. The crowds were Negro. The whites were apathetic and no such crowds waved at us. But it was not so apathetic with the Caucasian members of the march, who were no less fervent than their black brothers. The ratio of the two races was 8:1. This is understandable, as the march is primarily a Negro cause. Never-theless, other ethnic groups were also represented, though to a rather negligible extent. I was the sole representative of the Far East on our bus.

Freedom Songs Throughout most of the night,

my friend led our group in sing-ing the many Freedom songs he knew. It was interesting to ob-serve that nobody harbored qualms about possible outbreaks of violence in the morning, al-though precautionary measures had been taken. Aug. 28th, no liquor was sold in the nation's capital. Most women did not go to work. Police were everywhere. And during the actual march, marshals led the marchers in proud and orderly sections, thus preventing confusion and chaos.

Several times we stopped at the Turnpike service areas. My friend became very upset when he found out the buses were stopping at Howard Johnson's. Not only our bus, but the entire fleet. He could do nothing about

it, for Howard Johnson's had the concession to this section of the speedway. The reason he was up-set is that in the South, Howard Johnson is among many others who do not cater to the Negro, nor the Indian, for that matter. The situation was most ironic, especially since this friend par-ticipated in the successful boy-cott and closing-down of just such a restaurant near Boston University, which he attends. . . .

August 28 Dawn was the harbinger of a

fine, sunny day, Aug. 28. The people began to stir from their sleep; I sat up, looked out the window, and saw that we were on the highway to Baltimore. As far as I could see, the road was dominated by an endless loco-motive of buses from the many States. We had traveled 500 miles

o

during the night, and were now arriving at the local Negro churches, five buses to a church, wherein breakfast was waiting. It was now 9:30 a.m. This stop had two uses: It gave us a chance to rest ourselves and have break-fast, and served as a waiting terminal to D.C. We did not want to arrive at the scene of the march too soon, as prevention against possible outbreaks of violeiite due to idleness.

By 11:15 a.m., the Boston dele-gates had merged with those from all over the nation. I was surprised and pleased to see a delegation all the way form Alas-ka. I realized that they had traveled an entire continent to attend this march.

The buses parked by the lake. As one unit, the Boston pilgrims headed for the meeting place, the park in front of the Wash-ington Memorial. I looked and saw that the picket signs were having a field day. Their key-note was Freedom and Equality Now.

People Everywhere We rounded the corner of 17th

and Constitution Avenues. Soon we had joined the cheerful peo-ple thronging the park. People, people everywhere, and not a frown in sight! Over 200,000 people had come. It was a mag-nificent sight. Invalids were at-tended in wheelchairs while tiny children stuck close to their parents; everyone started to face the podium, from where the lead-ers addressed the gathering.

Mr. Randolph welcomed the marchers sincerely; then other well-known leaders spoke. A-mong the guests were a group of folksingers who had just come from jail in Alabama; and Am-bassador of the Mexican Govern-ment, who spoke in Spanish; and Bobby Darin, who said: "I am proud to be able to participate in this historic event. I am not here today as an actor—I am here as an American."

The dock struck twelve. The leaders proclaimed: "The march

is on. We shall walk with pride in our hearts!" They led the way. We followed light-footedly. The route is not long; it ends in front of the Lincoln Memorial. The two Memorials are separated by a reflection pool. We marched down the two avenues along this pool. The way was short, but we walked slowly, and at the same time chanted our songs. I recall the most popular was the theme song of the march, "We Shall Overcome." Everything was re-corded on film and tape. T.V. cameras and tape recorders hum-med, on preparing to tell the world about this epochal day.

Speakers The marchers were gathered

by 2:30 p.m. before the imposing edifice which houses the immor-tal statue of the Great Emanci-pator. Our Boston delegation

was stationed right on its steps. An organ piped freedom hymns to us. 200,000 people. The pre-liminaries began. A few people climbed trees so that they might gain a better view of the speak-ers. Some movie celebrities who were working abroad flew in just to be on hand. Then, our lunches over, we were entertained by luminaries no dimmer than Peter, Paul and Mary; Bob Dylan; Joan Baez, Mahalia Jackson was su-perb, as were all the others. I think if Pete Seeger were not on tour in Europe, he would also have been there.

A hush came over the crowd. The leaders were about to speak. A. Philip Randolph began; then, soon after, James Baldwin; fin-ally, after many others, spoke Martin Luther King. Each time, the applause increased. The cre-scendo rose over words of paci-fication; of the imminent end to the chrysolitio period of the Ne-gro people, to the day when they shed their cocoons and emerge as first class citizens in the eyes of their fairer compatriots; of their desire for freedom and

equality now, not ten years from now, not 50. It was also said this demonstration for freedom and equality did not pertain to the Negro alone, but was a cause of all races everywhere. Dr. King has a dream. He wants to realize it soon. His oratory was unex-celled.

The march was now over. Soon after, the leaders met with the President. The conclusion reached by the Administration was to strive toward bipartisan rights. That still meant the rec-ognition of a schism, but this was a realistic if not ineffectual approach. The oration ended at around 4:45 p.m. Crowds gather-ed to bid us farewell. We were exhausted, but were glad to have contributed to the cause. En route, most of us were silent, some deep in slumber, others, in thought. I was thinking. What was the march about? Was it successful?

Afterthoughts

The march was a demonstra-tion by the Negro people of America; it was a passive affair. All they want are their consti-tutional rights. They want to ride anywhere on the bus, eat wherever they please, stay any-where they want to, and live where they choose, just like their Caucasian fellow-countrymen. More than anything, they want their children to go to the schools of their choice. Also, when they seek employment, they would like to be hired for their ability, not rejected for their color. I thought that was reasonable.

Only half the actual number of people who attended was ex-pected. But the government re-mained cool. Nevertheless, many of the Senators present found it successful. They lauded the con-duct of the marchers, remark-ing on the distinct lack of vio-lence at any time. This peaceful-ness on our part was one coerced into enforcement, but was only made a constant reminder by the leaders.

I mulled over the ideals of this march. Freedom and equal-ity, so nebulous and yet so de-sirous. What do they mean? Are they but mere utterances? James Baldwin's definition Is that state of harmony between the whites and the blacks "when white men and I, and their sisters and I» shall become sufficiently friend-ly with each other for sister to say no to me when I ask her hand in marriage." He looks at it from the social point of view. In fact, most of his essays and novels are about the relationship of Negor and white men and wo-men.

Martin Luther King sees ft from the very essence of the matter. He defines it concisely: "Freedom and equality mean to the untrammeled opportunity for every person to fulfill his total individual capacity without any regard to race, creed or color or previous ancestry."

As I drifted off to slumber, I could still hear the song echoing in my ears: "Deep in my heart . . . I do believe . . . We shall overcome someday."

Steinbeck Finds America U

Mobile and Non-Committal by Tom Wombwell

me&m

("Travels with Charley" is 1962 Nobel Prize winner John Steinbeck's latest book. It treats from a unique perspective the American scene and poses Im-portant questions about it.)

John Steinbeck and his dog, Charley, went by truck on a ten thousand mile journey to redis-cover America. Presenting some of his findings of this experience comes the book Travels with Charley.

Steinbeck, a chronic victim of the virus of restlessness, set out on his grand odyssey to see again that "monster America" he claims he had neglected too long. Charley, whom he describes as an old French gentleman poodle, was his only traveling compan-ion. Their three - quarter - ton pick-up truck was especially de-signed and equipped for the trip, and was affectionately named Rocinante after Don Quixote's trusty steed.

What about the America he discovered? His first observation

Dr. Osterhanen SCA Speaker

Dr. Eupene Osterhaven, gradu-ate of Hope College, Western Theological Seminary and Prin-ceton Seminary, will be the guest speaker at the next Student Christian Association meeting in Graves Auditorium at 7:00 p.m. on Oct. 15.

Dr. Osterhaven, who has stud-ied both at Gottingen and Basel has traveled extensively through-out eastern Europe and will ad-dress the group on the church behind the Iron Curtain today. Both Dr. Osterhaven and his wife have had dose contact with the Reformer Church in Hun-gary, which was one of the early strongholds of the Prot-estant Reformation.

Of particular interest is the fact that even today the Reform-ed Church represents a signific-ant element of the Christian Church behind the Iron Curtain. The formal lecture will be fol-lowed by discussion and refresh-ments.

was the lack of discussion, peo-ple not putting out an opinion. "And that's what I found all over the country—no argument, no discussion," he says. This might be true generally, yet he seems to have missed the college or university experience, which hopefully would have changed or at least qualified his view.

A more accurate observation was the rootless character of the people of the country. Truckers, for instance, "cruise over the surface of the nation without be-ing part of it." He noticed the great number of people who live in mobile homes and in a mobile state and learned the fact that "permanence is neither achieved nor desired by mobile people." Americans are a restless people, a mobile people, never satisfied with where they are. Is this merely a matter of selection, or is this tendency to restlessness, to not being content to stay at home, an inheritance from our European ancestors? Steinbeck suggests that it goes deeper. "Only when agriculture came in-to practice (a relatively recent development in human history) did a place achieve meaning and value and permanence; roots were in ownership of land, in tangible and immovable posses-sions. Maybe the greater the urge, the deeper and more an-cient the need, the will, the hunger to be somewhere else."

S'tinbeck also gives candid re-flections on the habits and tastes of America. He suggests that with food America has put clean-liness first, at the expense of taste: the nation's emotional life is so bland that it must be spiced with sex and sadism through the medium of the paperback; and that "the mental fare has been as generalized, as packaged, and as undistinguished as the food." These are indeed strong state-ments about what he calls "this monster of a land, this mightiest of nations, this spawn of the fu-ture."

After seeing highway signs, coin machines, national parks, giant redwoods, the desert, a Texas orgy—all aspects of the American scene and the Amer-ican personality, Steinbeck yen-

tures what he calls "one immac-ulately inspected generality."

"For all our enormous geo-graphic range, for all our sec-tionalism, for all our interwoven breeds drawn from every part of the ethnic world, we are a na-tion, a new breed. The American identity is an exact and prov-able thing."

The question Steinbck sought to answer by his journey was: "What are Americans like to-day?" The reader may look for and find some answers to this question in Travels, but he will also find that Steinbeck has tak-en the advice of the Shakespeare-reading gypsie he encountered who attributed his success with an audience to "keeping them asking and exiting clean and sharp." Steinbeck's clean and sharp exit whets the question. Therein lies the narrative's im-portance.

GLCA Literary Anthology Schedules December Edition

Specifications regarding the Great Lakes Anthology, a liter-ary magazine to be published this semester by Great Lakes Colleges Association, have been announced by the GLCA literary board following their meeting in Detroit Saturday. Senior Linda Walvoord, campus Anthology editor and chairman of GLCA's Editorial Board, represented Hope.

Primarily to be a collection of creative writing on • the under-graduate level, representing the 12 GLCA colleges, the 1963 An-thology is tentatively scheduled to appear before Christmas. It will be published in both hard-bound and paperback editions, selling at $3.00 and $1.50 respect-ively.

Poems, short stories and plays by any author who was last year or will this year be an under-graduate at a member school will

be accepted for consideration. Material submitted need not have appeared in OPUS, according to Miss Walvoord.

Contributions should be turned in to Nancy Zwart, publications board chairman, no later than October 18.

"Modern literature may well be based upon alienation and breakdown of language. That, however, is no reason why thi s

Anthology should be," comments J. Christopher Burns of Ohio Wesleyan University, Anthology editor.

GLCA member colleges are Albion, Antioch, Dension, De-Pauw, Earlham, Hope, Kalama-zoo, Kenyon, Oberlin, Wabash, Ohio Wesleyan and the College of Wooster.

Further information is avail-able from Linda Walvoord, Dur-fee Hall.

The Dilettante

Tis Nobler in the Mind by David Von Ins

Saturday night I was lying on my bed, smoking a pipe and list-ening to Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. I usually smoke Chester-fields while lying on my bed listening to Beethoven's "Moon-light Sonata," but I'm not inflex-ible. At this point a friend of mine came in, surveyed the sit-uation and said "Von Ins, you know what your are? You're an unprintable intellectual. Why don't you go to the dance and hear some real music?" Not wish-ing to discuss the relative merits of Beethoven and Chubby Check-er, I told him briefly where to go. He left.

Since I began writing this col-umn, I have been called an in-tellectual at least five times ev-ery day. I am suprised by the great lack of perception these people display. What disturbs is that they expect me to be in-sulted. I am supposed to furtively attempt to cover some exposed part of my body. My intelligence has been showing. Nonsense! I would like nothing better than to deserve the title of intellectual, but I am nothing more than in-tellectually curious.

So far this year we have had a student riot of respectable size, a few incidents of under-age and indiscreet drinking and one lec-ture on Greek Drama. It is quite likely that ninity percent of the populace didn't hear about the lecture. Although there has not been an actual stonng of an intel-lectual, it seems that it is not the most socially acceptable thing to be.

People continually ask me when I'm going to expose the double dealing deans. Well, if the administration sometimes seems to be blatantly inconsistent (or appear to be improvising rules as they go along), they are to be commended for at least realizing that this is not primar-ily a country club. For all the culture many Hope students ab-sorb, they might as well take their portable radios out to the hammock, use Ian Fleming for a head-rest and sleep for four or five years.

During the days of the Roman Empire there was a group call-ed the Educated Barbarians. There were the young men sent

from the Gothic tribes to be ed-ucated at Rome. They learned well the principles of engineer-ing and civilized warfare. They participated in all the orgies and no doubt thrilled to the beast fights a t the Circus Maximus. But they returned to their people without the barest trace of the noble Roman Culture. They were educated, but they remained bar-barians. Every ten years or so they returned to Rome and sang the Alma Mater and laughed at serious old Seneca and Cicero.

If this were a piece of high school oratory, I could conclude by saying "and therefore if the United States does not change its course, we will share 'Rome's fa te and. . . . " But that wasn't convincing even in high school. Nor can I tell people who came here to find a husband or to stay out of the army that there are more important things. They woudn't believe me. Instead, I will keep my anger to myself and promise you an uproariously funny column next week. I'm go-ing back to my pipe and Beet-hoven.

Peace.

Appreciation As college students we are prone to take

many of the most valuable parts of our cam-pus community for granted. We tend to feel that since we have paid for an education we are simply getting the things to which we have a right.

The sad fact is that we fail to realize that the quality of many aspects of our education is not simply the result of monetary factors, but rather the result of the dedication and hard work of a great number of people.

For example, those of us who are not seniors often fail to take into consideration the tremendous advantages of the new library. Students who were not acquainted with the old library often accept the new library as a fact without appreciating its true value. The real meaning of the fact that a man con-sidered learning to be so important that he gave more than a half million dollars to Hope College to establish a desparately needed li-brary is so easily forgotten.

In giving such a gift, Dr. Gerrit Van Zoer-en showed that he was not taking the value of education for granted. In taking such a gift for granted we, as students, have taken little time to express to Dr. Van Zoeren the gratitude we must have.

A portrait of Dr. Van Zoeren will be ded-icated at the library tomorrow at 3:30 p.m. At that time the students will have ample oppor-tunity to personally express their gratitude. Everyone has benefited from Dr. Van Zoeren's gift; everyone should try to thank him.

There are many other people whom we have often taken for granted. We are fortun-ate enough to be.attending a college with a highly dedicated faculty—a faculty dedicated to presenting the best education possible, a faculty which has shown the desire to con-stantly improve the quality of education a-vailable, as indicated in the amount of faculty time spent on the new curriculum.

As students we often see teachers only as symbols of academic authority, as machines for dispensing facts, as educational disciplin-arians who must be fooled into giving satis-factory grades. We often fail to appreciate the great deal of personal attention which we re-ceive as students at a small liberal arts col-lege. We often fail to see the genuine interest most of our teachers show for the students.

Undoubtedly the most often unappreciated group of people on Hope's campus is the ad-ministration. At various times during the year the administration must make decisions which groups of studsnts will not like. However, while we may not agree with some of these decisions, we should at least be objective enough to see that the administration faces many problems in trying to better the campus situation and that on the whole most of the administration personnel are sincerely inter-ested in helping the students. The fact that some students do not concur with the appar-ent policies of some people should not lead the student body to condemn the administra-tion as a whole or even to be unappreciative of its efforts in a difficult situation.

(In case anyone jumps to wrong conclus-ions over what has just been said, you should know that the members of the administration are reading this for the first time with you, the general public. The fact that reading that a student editor has written such an editorial will raise suspisions of administration pres-sures in the minds of some students shows how unobjective and unappreciative some people can be.)

As students we are heirs to a great wealth of knowledge. As students at Hope College we have many advantages unavailable to stu-dents at other institutions. Therefore, we should all be objective enough to appreciate what we have and be thoughtful enough to express our appreciation.

On Oct. 19, a Peace Corp place-ment test is to be given in room 205 of the Grand Rapids Post Office.

This test is to select the best qualified volunteers to aid re-quest countries.

For the selected volunteers, a rigorous training is required with 60 hour weeks usually at a U.S. college or university. This train-ing is tailored to suit the as-signed country. Then a two year term of service begins. An annu-al months leave is granted which is usually used to travel the as-signed country.

For futher information and to pick up a test application, con-tact Dean Hilmert in Van Raalte 110.

Recponsible letters, regardless of opinion, are welcomed and will be published. They should be no longer than 200 words, submitted by noon Wednesday, and signed. To conserve space, editors have right to edit.

We shall soon have the chance to see some excellent pictures courtesy of MotarBoard and the Park Theater. Because the Mort-arBoard series has college recog-nition and adequate publicity I want to mention the films to be shown at the Park. Here we have an interesting situation. Students and members of the faculty have

created a sort of Cinema Club in which those participating can order films of their choice. Mon-day night has been set aside for the viewing of these films in two showings — one at 7:00 p.m. and another at 9:00 p.m.

To this series the college has given token recognition by al-lowing late permissions for girls to attend the later showing if they have evening classes or labs. The college still forbids any of-ficial on-campus advertisement for these films. Despite this the manager of the Park Theater has continued to reduce admission for Hope students.

Nevertheless, because of the excellence of these films and good attendance we are assured of a good season. On schedule for showing are such movies as "8%" by Fellini, Bergmans "Virgin Spring," Kurosawa's "Rasho-mon" and Tony Richardson's "A Taste of Honey."

The first film is Richardson's ''The Loneliness of the Long Dis-

tance Runner." The plot follows closely that of the prize-winning short story by Alan Sillitoe. In the story a young English boy of the lower class has been push-ed around so much he almost loses his identity. Jailed for rob-bery he finds a way to bolster his self-respect by joining the prison long distance running team.

As he slowly becomes a cham-pion runner he feels some ful-fillment. Toward the end of the film, however, he is cheated of happiness when he sees the sham he has created and realizes that the authorities look upon him as some sort of glorified race horse. This touches off a more deter-mined rebellion in an effort to lift his loneliness, boredom and sense of defeat. The picture is a powerfully dramatic one — one of defiance, but defiance for a reason: a man's dignity.

I suggest you try to see this film.

Harriers Opening MIAA Meet Won; Alma Tomorrow

by John Simons Hope's cross-country team be-

p:an its conference season last Saturday with a resounding 23 to 38 victory over the Kalamazoo College Hornets at the football field course. Freshman Ron Bow-man led the finishers across the line as he turned in the excellent time of 22:06. Second and third places were awarded to Kalama-zoo but the remaining seven spots went to the Dutch. Vern Sterk, Hope captain and consistent high finisher, ran a strong race and placed a close fourth. He was followed in order by John Ny-boer, Garry Peiper, Glen Van Wieren, Dirck DeVelder, Bruce Welmers and Wally Brosche.

After a rather lustreless start this year, the Hope harriers, un-der the expert guidance of coach Daryl Siedentop, are rounding into a balanced corps of runners. Freshman Bowman, along with Seniors Sterk and Nyboer, are getting the support in depth which is so necessary to a good cross-country team.

The Dutchmen run at Alma this Saturday and are pointing to the future for an important triangular meet with the high-flying Calvin College Knights and the Adrian Bulldogs. This meet, which will take place in two weeks at the Hope course, is anticipated by coach Sieden-top as one of the best meets of the year. Students are invited to attend the triangular, which will begin at 11:00 a.m. at the football field.

Defending Conference Champs Win as Kalamazoo Defeats Dutchmen

by Ron Mulder Alma Scots will put their one-

game -winning streak on the line this Saturday against Hope's smarting Dutchmen. The game will be played at 2:00 p.m. at Alma.

Last week the Scots rolled over the stunned Olivet Comets 22-13, already surpassing last year's 0-8 record in total victories.

Only 10 lettermen returned to the Alma squad this year, but several promising freshmen have risen to the occasion and con-sequently man key positions. The most outstanding of these fresh-men, and probably the outstand-freshman in the MIAA, is quart-erback Jim Flora from Saginaw.

PLACE

by Steve De Free Delayed action cost Hope a

21-14 loss to Kalamazoo in last Saturday afternoon's football game at Riverview Park.

Toward the end of the first quarter, Kalamazoo quarterback Jim Harkema commanded a 61-yard drive that ended with a touchdown on a three-yard smash by Eglis Lode. John Persons started his perfect day of extra point conversions with a success-ful kick.

The Hornets' Creager scored another touchdown after a sus-tained drive in the second quarter that was again characterized by a potent offensive ground game. After the touchdown, Hope took the kickoff only to fumble on their own 13-yard line. Ed Lau-erman of Kalamazoo then raced 13 yards for the score.

Then in the closing minutes of the first half, Hope got a scoring opportunity when they took over possession on the Kalamazoo 33-yard line. The Blue and Orange fulfilled the opportunity with a completed pass, a holding penal-ty, and a final touchdown pass from Harlan Hyink to end Bill Hultgren. A two-point conver-sion attempt was unsuccessful.

In the second half, Hope held the Hornets in their cage with a

Van Dam recovered the loose ball on the Kalamazoo 22-yard line. The offensive team took over, and lost two yards on the first play. Then, Hyink faded back and threw a strike to Bill Hultgren in the end zone. An-other two point conversion at-tempt was good on Hyink's pass to Bill Keur.

With Flora at the helm, Alma's opponents can expect some wide-open football, as was evidenced by his daring running and pas-sing in last week's Olivet game. Ably backing up the exciting Flora are veterans Van Mulligan, Mike Ivan, Jim Grey, and Lew Economou. Van Mulligan and Mike Ivan are co-captains of this year's team.

Coach Bill Carr's reports in-dicate that there are 15 freshmen on the Alma team. "The team is inexperienced and the play is sometimes shabby, but were im-proving with each ball game. We are ready for Hope, but we are afraid of their overall team speed."
