Campus Church Plans On Trustees' Agenda . The Hope College Board of Trus-

Student Life Committee Approves Sixth Frat, and New Democratic Left

Last F r iday the Student Life Commit tee gave final approval to the reques t of a sixth social f ra t -ernity and the New Democra t i c Lef t to be recognized as official Hope College organizat ions. In both cases , the motions were passed by unani-mous vote of the c o m m i t t e e in ex-ecutive session.

The new f r a t e rn i ty will have the s a m e r ights and pr ivi leges of the exist ing f ive and will become ia m e m b e r in equal s tanding on the IFC. Acording to the consti tution approved by the commi t t ee , the i r Greek n a m e will be Phi Delta Chi.

At this t ime, no decision has been m a d e on an in fo rmal n a m e , repor t -ed pres ident P a u l Verduin.

Verduin said that i n fo rma l mee t -ings had been held to acqua in t in-dependents with the new f r a t e r n i t y and that "25 or 30 had shown inter-e s t . " The m e m b e r s h i p still r e m a i n s at the original 11, however , a s the group had decided to f r eeze i ts m e m b e r s h i p unti l the SLC had ap-proved their consti tution, he con-tinued.

The commi t t ee ' s a c c e p t a n c e of the NDL c a m e a f t e r the group r ewro t e its s t a t emen t of pu rpose accord ing to a reques t m a d e by the SLC. A lengthy discussion w a s held concern-ing both the s t a t e m e n t of pu rpose and the genera l c h a r a c t e r of the new organizat ion.

Commit tee m e m b e r E . Jean Sav-age said the new s t a t e m e n t clar i -fied the NDL ' s position quite well but tha t she w a s concerned about the orotes t m a r c h in the tulip t i m e pa rade . She w a s " u n e a s y about the

m a r c h " because she noted that five m e m b e r s of the NDL had par t ic i -pated, including pres ident Glenn Pontier . Mrs. Savage said that the protest had "begun as a l a r k " and questioned how responsible 'Jie NDL would be if m a d e an official col lege organizat ion. Wes Michaelson won-dered whe ther the club would "pa r -t icipate in the ac t iv i t ies . "

Pont ier noted that the NDL was not direct ly involved with the de-monst ra t ion and that his par t ic ipa-tion was a personal decision. If the club received official sanct ion, any action tha t w a s t aken would f i rs t have to be approved by d e m o c r a t i c vote and a f t e r seeking the counsel of their facul ty advisor , Donald Clelland, who said tha t he would cer ta inly advise t h e m " to go through p roper channe l s and not to b reak anv l aws . " Dean T h o m a s Carey said the NDL would be "sub-ject to college discipline if it was a sanct ioned organiza t ion ."

Dean Isla Van E e n e n a a m was troubled by the n a m e of the organ-ization which she said " s e e m e d to belong under a Red f l a g . "

The problem which s eemed to concern the commi t t ee most was . a s Michaelson put it, " t h e g rea t bellig-erence and defens iveness exhibi ted by the m e m b e r s of the organiza-t ion." Several m e m b e r s of the com-mit tee expressed the i r uneas iness about this.

Dr. L a r s G r a n b e r g said, however , that it w a s " u n f a i r to judge the or-ganization on wha t we an t ic ipa te thev might do . " The group h a s an advisor and a s t a t e m e n t of purpose ,

he noted, and t he r e was no real reason to not allow them to organize officially.

This seemed the genera l consen-sus of the c o m m i t t e e when char-m a n Dr. Ar thur Jen tz ad journed the public mee t ing to allow the SLC to mee t pr iva te ly and vote.

RCA Merger Dimmed by Southern Presbyterian Move to Join Federation

By Paul Verduin

Action on the par t of the Pres -byter ian Church, U.S. (Southern) ,

to become a fully par t ic ipat ing m e m b e r with seven other evan-gelical church denominat ions in the Consultation on Church Union 'COCU' has precipi tated apprehen-sive concern in leaders of the Re-formed Church in Amer ica .

The Southern P resby te r i an Church, which has been engaged in a quiet but progressive courtship for m e r g e r with RCA for the pas t three years , abrupt ly decided in their Genera l Assembly two weeks ago to join the consultation. Mem-bership of COCU par t ic ipants to-tals 24 million, mak ing it the na-tion's largest association of Pro-tes tant churches . At their his toric meet ing last week in Dallas, Texas . COCU delegates approved an "Out-line Plan for Union" which pro-vided a flexible s t ruc tura l design for a r e a s of faith, worship, the s a c r a m e n t s and the minis t ry .

At the Dallas convention, the Con-sultation "urgent ly invi ted" the par-t icipating m e m b e r s to "ge t author-ity to enter into p repara t ion of a union p l an . "

In joining COCU, the Southern Presby te r i an Church ignores an ag reemen t m a d e by the Joint Com-mit tee of Twenty-Four <the com-

mittee on m e r g e r between RCA and Southern Presby te r ian , composed of 12 representa t ives f rom each de-nomination) to obstain f r o m other m e r g e r negotiat ions while talks were being held, according to Dr. Bernard Brunsting. Dr. Brunsting, pastor of Holland's Firs t Reformed Church, is a m e m b e r of the com-mittee.

Dr. Bruns t ing revealed that as a result of an emergency meeting of the Commit tee of Twenty-Four in Atlanta last week, the twelve Reformed delegates will recom-mend at the coming Genera l Synod "to continue discussions toward merge r until it is seen what the Southern Presby te r i ans m e a n . " The Synod meet ing will be held at Hope College, June 9-15.

Rev. F r a n k H. Caldwell, moder-ator of the Southern Presby te r ian Church, replied when asked about COCU tha t his denomination "ought to be c lose" to the COCU talks. "The wise course , " he said, "is to emphasize the denominat ion 's re-'at ions with RCA."

" Dr. Ridder outlined several a l te rnat ives which may be presented at the coming General Synod: (1) to continue the merge r talks. <2) to go it alone, '3) to approach the Christ ian Reformed Church for m e r g e r talks. '4) to join COCU.

"The real issue," said Dr. Brun-sting, " is whether or not the Re-formed Church can continue to go it alone as a regional church. Those advocat ing m e r g e r s wish to see our church minis ter more effectively to national concerns, such as the problem of civil r ights, while others feel that in m e r g e r we will lose our doctrinal s t r eng th .

FO R 100 YEARS H O P E C O L L E G E has been affiliated with the Refo rmed Church in America. T h i s re lat ion to

the (hu rch has mean t that the College has been suppor ted financially and spiri tually by the d e n o m i n a t i o n , and in tu rn the educa t ion here has assumed a par t icu la r bent so that wt call ourselves a Chr is t ian college.

Historically, most of the pr ivate colleges in the Uni ted States were established by chinches in the belief that educat ion and the development oi man ' s mind were impor t an t in the growth in one's taith. Eur thermore , the church la thers believed tha t church re-lated colleges would be a source of ministers who would serve the people. Al though H o p e College has long ago lost its image as "a pre-sein mil l ," nevertheless this ins t i tu t ion cont inues to supply the church with gradu-ates who spend their lives in church work.

T h e re la t ionship between the church and the College has been a close one unt i l recent years. T h e par t ia l b reakdown of this affilia-tion is due to various factors, bu t in general we may a t t r i bu t e it to a b roaden ing of the educat ional program and increased size and excellence. T h e t rad i t iona l history of church related colleges is that once the school empha-sizes academic excellence as opposed to the proclamat ion of church dogma, the relation-ship between the school and the church be-gins to wane. T h e history of Rutgers Uni-versity and its affiliation with the Re fo rmed Church seives as a fairly good example of this.

TODAY T H E P R E S S U R E S of higher ed-ucat ion are greater than ever before. As Dr. lohn Piet has stated in the

(nirlioy, no college has the right to exist ex-cept for the purpose of academic excellence. T h e result of the connn i tmen t to excellence is increased expense as colleges compete for fiKiilty members and expand the size and cur r icu lum of the college. Th i s , of course, is necessitated bv " the knowledge explos ion" which demands costlv specialization even on

the u n d e r g r a d u a t e level.

PresentIv. the R e f o r m e d Church , with a 'Membership of apnrox imate lv a nua r t e r mil-lion. is s n n n o r t i n e three colleges nml two semi-naries. Because of the increased cost of edu-cation the d e n o n v n a t i o n is snrendme: itself so t lun that we t ' u n k a r e - eva lua fon of the denomina t ion ' s suppor t of the colleges : id seminaries is in order .

In the case of H o n e College. 20 vears aco in 1946, church suppor t a m o u n t e d to 15^916. 19 per cent of the ope ra t i ng budge t . In 1956, the church gave H o p e Co' le^e .S90.678. but this was only II per cent of the total operat inu cost. Last vcar denomina t iona l suppor t con t inued its d o w n w a r d t rend so that only SI40,6.85 or seven per cent of the cost of run

ning this College was shouldered by the church.

Dur ing these same 20 years, the ope ra t ing cost of H o p e increased ten-fold f rom $295,817 to an es t imated $2.3 mi l l ion for this academic year. T h u s , while H o p e grew, the R e f o r m e d Church ' s suppor t did not grow p ropor t i on ally.

In fairness, we admi t that it is impossible for the Re fo rmed C h u r c h to match its finan-cial suppor t of Hope and the o ther institu-tions dol la r for dol lar as the cost of educa t ion soars. T h u s , H o p e College must tu rn to its a lumni and other outs ide sources for the reve-nue necessary to m a i n t a i n and e x p a n d the present educa t iona l p rogram. T h i s p rob lem is par t icular ly acute today since the College is p ro jec t ing a deficit budge t for the next academic year.

IT SEEMS T O US tha t pe rhaps the church is fool ing itself. It is ope ra t i ng two col leges in the same state, one fairly recently

established; in add i t ion , it suppor t s New Brunswick Seminary in the East, the en t i r e enro l lment of which will be less than the f reshman class en te r ing Wes te rn Seminary next fall. It is. we acknowledge, difficult to part with established and long-s tanding insti tut ions; however, there comes a point when we iiuist consider the ta lents which we have and use them as best we can.

II the Re fo rmed C h u r c h canno t s u p p o r t three colleges and two seminaries , which it is giving every indicat ion it cannot , then the l ime must come to e i ther d i sband one or more of the ins t i tut ions . Otherwise , all five will l imp a long with soar ing budgets and paltry suppor t f rom the d e n o m i n a t i o n .

A second a l te rna t ive is possible. If the members of the Re fo rmed C h u r c h take seri-ously their responsibil i ty to the schools which are affiiliated with it, if they r e m e m b e r that educa t ion is a necessity for ma tu re , witnessing Christ ians, if they regain some of the same loyalty which motivated the founders of this College and the o ther ins t i tu t ions , it is pos-sible that three colleges and two seminar ies can be suppor t ed by the R e f o r m e d C h u r c h . However, this involves a revo lu t ion in the pews. Members must be m a d e to see the im-Dortance of s u p p o r t i n g financially their col-leges and seminaries to a greater degree t han ever before.

WE H O L D O U T L I T T L E H O P E tha t this will h a p p e n . R a t h e r , unless New Brunswick and Wes te rn arc

merged or one of the colleges is d r o p p e d or separated f rom the church , f inancial s u p p o r t will grow less and less un t i l separa t ion is the only answer. We want H o p e College to re-main a Chr is t ian college; bu t we wonder if it's possible.

On Excellence

IN T H I S ISSUE of the anchor, some 85 seniors are fea tu red in an article which reports their receiving scholarships or as-

sistantships for g r a d u a t e study. Also in this issue is the repor t of Hope ' s w inn ing the All-Sports t rophy in the Michigan Intercol legiate Athlet ic Assn.

T h e s e two repor ts of success by H o p e stu-dents are just two more examples of the history of excellence which has made this College great . Significantly, they come in two dif ferent areas, the a th le t ic and the academic. T h e w inn ing of the All-Sports t rophy and the ou t s t and ing academic achievement of this year's senior class serve as evidence tha t H o p e is coming close to ful f i l l ing the classical ideal: mens sann in corpore sano, a sound mind in a sound body.

Also in this issue the anchor pays t r ibu te

to two H o p e professors, Dr . T u n i s Baker and Pro'cssor Edward J . Wol te r s w h o are re t i r ing at the end of the year. I t is only p roper when recognizing excellence in s t uden t ach ievement that professors be a p p l a u d e d as well . T h e de-votion to H o p e College and to its s tuden ts demons t ra t ed by these two professors is one of the characterist ics of Hope ' s facul ty in which we all can take pr ide .

WI T H I N T W O WEEKS T H E CLASS of 1966 will be graduated from this College and will join the ranks of

Hope's alumni. They leave us a tradition—a tradition of excellence. Our responsibility is clear: We must honor that tradition not by standing back in awe and wonder, but seek to improve upon it. As we celebrate Hope's Centennial, it is necessary to honor that tradi-tion and work and plan for the future.

Sorenson's Human JFK Review of the News

By Randy Miller

John F . Kennedy b e c a m e im-mor ta l in the minds of Amer i cans when on November 22, 1963, a

bullet cut short his life and his mission for Amer ica . In the brief period following, m a n y persons who

had known the m a n and his mission ra t t led their typewr i t e r s to sc r ibe m e m o i r s and to probe into the m a k i n g s of the m a n .

Ted Sorenson w a s one of these who felt compelled to write — but

his work was not f r o m the ki tchen or the g a r i e n , but f r o m th - hea r t .

In Sorenson 's ' ' K e n n e d y " the au-thor ske tches the growth and ma-

tur ing of a m a n who is a symbol

of the Amer i can c reed . Kennedy ' s

mission w a s exempl i f ied in his in-augura l add re s s when he said,

. . . the torch h a s been passed to a new genera t ion of Amer i cans

. . . ask not wha t your country can do for you; ask what you can

do for your c o u n t r y . " As special counsel to the P r e s i d e n t and Ken-nedy ' s personal f r iend , Ted Soren-

son added a pe rsona l touch and looked beyond m e r e political mo-

tives to the h u m a n aspec t in order

to underscore the rea l th rus t of the Kennedy mission.

Such an approach a s Sorenson 's h a s its pi t fal ls and the most obvious

is too a rden t loyalty to the late P res iden t . For this reason his ac-

counts cannot a lways be considered

a c c u r a t e and seve ra l controvers-ies have developed a s to the valid-ity of some of Sorenson 's com-ments .

The most cr i t ical a spec t tha t was

di 'uted was the re la t ionship of Sec-r e t a ry of State Dean Rusk and the P res iden t . In "A Thousand Days" by Ar thur Schlesinger , J r . , a ve-

hement a r g u m e n t was ra ised as to

the real an t ipa thy tha t evolved f rom Mr. Rusk ' s position and move-

ments . Sorenson t r e a t s this m a t t e r superficial ly and because of this

Kennedy loyalty, never lets the r eade r become a w a r e to what ex-

tent Mr. Rusk might have antag-onized the Kennedy p r o g r a m .

But the book is wri t ten not by a professional his or ian but r a t h e r by

someone who felt a compel l ing u rge to por t ray a m a n whom he r eve red . In this light it m a y not be consid-

ered t rue his tory or even fac tua l , but it should be realized tha t his-

tory is a combinat ion of the im-personal and personal , and such

men as Sorensen can and did ex-per ience the genuine c h a r a c t e r of (he man who is A m e r i c a ' s symbol today.

Sorenson follows the Kennedy

pMh f rom Capitol Hill to the White House and paints a vivid p ic ture of how the ha t less youth of 1960. who

took the torch, slowly grew a little less taut , a little g reye r and m o r e

a man. Never in Sorenson does one lose the fe rvency of the Kennedy mission and the reali ty of that

torch. Sorenson observes the pro-g r a m of the need for act ive democ-racy evolve through the 1960 cam-paign and how with the aid of a select group of men . Kennedy sent

a t r emor , a h e a r t b e a t into men who s t rove for f r eedom.

As the political and economic fo rms shif t into place through Sor-

enson 's account, he continually pulls away the shields of Kennedy, the man , through his f requent quotes

of Kennedy wit, f ea r s , loves and especially through Kennedy ' s every-

day movemen t s . His t heme is Ken-nedy. the m a n . and to this end he ca r r i e s the ac t ions of Kennedy through the c a m p a i g n , the Bay of

P i g s d isas ter , Berlin s t ruggle , civil

r ights , recession and all tha t m a d e

Kennedy grow older, wiser and

m o r e de te rmined than ever to win

the ideals of the Declara t ion of In-

dependence for all.

In writ ing such an account of the Kennedy his tory . Sorenson chal-

lenges the quest ion of the validity of recording history too soon a f t e r it occurs . The two ma in a r g u m e n t s tha t a re fos tered a r e (1) tha t such his tory and personal probes into the sub jec t ' s life can be of im-

m e a s u r a b l e h a r m to the i m m e d i a t e fami ly and t he r e fo reone should waive publication until the in t imates a r e deceased and (2) that such writ ings

do not have enough historical per-spect ive for rea l unders tand ing . Sorenson 's " K e n n e d y " sought to es-cort John F . Kennedy through

A m e r i c a ' s mind in o rde r that he migh t be honored as a m a n who

did ac t . not an i m m o r t a l through assass ina t ion . His work answers these a r g u m e n t s by revea l ing the

h u m a n Kennedy in an impass ioned plea for unde r s t and ing and by pro-viding to those with perspec t ive an insight into a h u m a n Kennedy.

wSorenson's " K e n n e d y " is not a m e r e epitaph or r e f e r e n c e book, but a witness of a m a n caught up in mank ind and how his torch was ca r r i ed and t r a n s f e r r e d to men

such as Ted Sorenson. Sorenson can be condemned for zealous de-votion, if this is damning , but not for an a t t e m p t to revea l the m a n be-

hind the miss ion and how today ' s p rob lems we re countered by the m a n . John F . Kennedy. Sorenson

adds tha t need for the personal into the cold da ta -seek ing world in which Kennedy had s t ruggled and

to this . I for one s t and to applaud him.

occupy the g r ea t e s t amount of space in the novel. Wasn ' t it F i ch t e who

held that one can only unders tand

" A " in proport ion to his unders tand-ing of "not A ? "

Anyway. If you could do it all over again, would you go to Hope? I t ' s like the m a n who asks the Jew,

"Why is it tha t every t ime you a r e asked something, you a n s w e r with ano ther ques t ion?" The J e w replies, "Why not?" Yes, why not.

Af te r th ree s e m e s t e r s of working with the l iberal s tudies course , I 'm finally beginning to under s t and what

i t 's all about — the re really is someth ing to this "b ig ques t ion"

business. Of course i t ' s easy to become buried by forget t ing that the way to solve m a t t e r s of u l t imate concern 'no r e f e r e n c e to Tillich)

is by tackl ing a n u m b e r of smal l p rob lems as they p resen t them-selves — eventual ly the "b ig ques-

t ions" will be solved, or pe rhaps a be t te r word is resolved.

Hope College is: the pine grove, the Kletz. Wednesday nights in the anchor office and Thur sday a t the

Zeeland Record , o rches t ra , tennis, the Little Thea t e r , p e a soup at Skiles, the SCA, Bun te ' s in the morning , chapel , a change in m a j o r

f r o m pre-medic ine to Engl ish, and

?ight months a w a y f rom Hope

College, a period which revealed, if only for a f leet ing m o m e n t , tha t

thought could be one of the most mean ing fu l and vi tal act ivi t ies in the life of a h u m a n being—a kind

ot tension of opposites, a si tuation which in its totality a t least points

in the direction of an unders tand ing of a totality of exper ience .

Some places have it, some places don ' t . The question of env i ronment

is by no m e a n s an un impor tan t question. Certain env i ronmenta l sit-uat ions a re potential ly deadly t r a p s —perhaps the g r e a t chal lenge in

such a case is to r i se above the s i tuat ion and then to come out of it with an ability to focus clearly

and to re ta in a hold on something, anyth ing .

But s ince it is vir tual ly impos-

sible in an ass igned n u m b e r of column-inches to wr i te an ar t ic le enti t led "What Hope College Means

to Me , " and fu r t he r , since such an a t t e m p t would possibly result in pu re folly, let me do no more at this point than to r e l a t e a recent incident .

Actually, i t 's only a s t a tement , a c o m m e n t which I hea rd as I was leaving Hope 's p e r f o r m a n c e of Vi-

valdi ' s "G lo r i a . " Without e labora t -

ing, let me say s imply that this

has to be one of the most fert i le s t a t e m e n t s tha t I 've heard in a long

t ime, one f r o m which an a lmost infinite n u m b e r of a t t i tudes can be infer red , he re it is: "Can you im-

agine what the en t i re Catholic m a s s

mus t be like if this is only the 'Glor ia '? Oh bro ther . I 'm glad I 'm

R e f o r m e d ! " Ignorant , she l tered

naive, and. in spi te of this, probab-ly one of the happies t and most contented people on c a m p u s . I don't unders tand it.

Will Arkansa s be any d i f fe ren t?

It God dead there , too? Is the re pe rhaps a Cotton T ime fest ival? Is there a Skiles? Is " y ' a l l " any dif-fe ren t f r om "heh s a k e s ! " ? Are the re h u m a n be ings there? Henry

J a m e s wrote a shor t story called " T h e Rea l Th ing , " Tournier has his "pe r son and p e r s o n a g e , " and e.e. c u m m i n g s wr i t es "if every th ing

happens tha t can ' t be done . . .we ' re wonderfu l one t imes one ." And somet imes , when the philosophers

and poets s e e m too wordy and ponderous , some t imes the most re-f reshingly c lea r idea in the world is embodied in the u t te r s implici ty of a " P e a n u t s " car toon.

Scholar-ship i i r ' Editor's note: Dr. James Mull-

enburg, TheoIogian-in-Residence at Hope this semester, presented the following address at a breakfast held for honors students last Tues-day morning. A distinguished Bibli-cal theologian and scholar, he has held professorships at Union Theo-logical Seminary in New York and San Francisco Theological Sertiin-ary. Dr. Muilenburg is one of the 32 scholars who collaborated on the Revised Standard Version of the Bible.

By Dr. James Muilenburg

Fi rs t of all, let me congratula te you who have been singled out and chosen for distinction. Apparently you have done well, and for that reason your college is giving you today the insignia of meri t . But you do well to r e m e m b e r that you a re joining a distinguished com-pany of men and women who throughout the y e a r s have m a d e Hope College honored and respected throughout the land. Hope is a good word, so I hope you will wear ycur insignia with pride.

Many of you have received schol-arships f rom other institutions for advanced study, but scholarship you can never receive, for it is something that must be achieved and won by each individual person. "The re ' s a ba t t ' e to fight e 'er the guerdon be ga ined ." For scholar-ship. i.e. being a scholar, living as a scholar lives, is never a s ta tus . Rather , it is a way of life, a qual ' ty of existence, a t emper and a be-havior of the mind, a disciplining of one 's thinking and one's learning.

The scholar is man thinking a s Emerson was never weary of re-minding us. He knows the respon-sibilities of the intellectual life, he respec ts intelligence despite the j ibes of the de t rac tors , he believes that the life of reason is important and that it is good. That is what the Greeks taught us. The scholar is a voyager on the high seas of mean ing and thought. It is a vast sea. and though the sea is vast and the bo i t small , he sails!

What, then, shall we say about scholar-ship? Fi rs t of all, being a scholar or living a scholarly life m e a n s a never-ending c^uest for krTowledge. It m e a n s searching and more searching, as Pasca l ,

that r emarkab ly contemporary man, knew so well. Pasca l took quite l i terally the words of the gospel that he who seeks will find because for him the very principles of search included God. Science, ma thema t i c s , language and faith were all pa r t of the s a m e search for truth.

We are speaking now of the il-lumined mind, the mind that is the home of light, the mind that is a f l ame and luminous, the mind that may dispel the shadows and gloom of ignorance, bigotry, and every form of obscurity and obscurant-ism, a mind that def la tes the pre-tensions of all the easy speeches of the glibly uninformed, a mind that is a lways hospitable to the new and unprecedented. One thinks, as one a lways does in this season of the academic year , of Robert Browning's "The G r a m m a r i a n ' s F u n e r a l . " that perennial apologia pro vita sua. for the t rue scholar : "Did he not magni fy the mind, show clearly that it all m e a n t ? " The joy and exci tement of scholar-ship is that new light is forever breaking.

I should like you to read Pe r ry Miller 's admirab le essay on "The Responsibility of the Mind in a Civilization of Machines" <The Am-er ican Scholar. 1961-62, pp. 51-69). Miller is speaking in one context about Thoreau. Thoreau. he says , "keeps alive the fl icker of an al-most extinguished f i re amidst the Lon-flamable steel and concrete — and c h r o m i u m . " You will do well to reflect on that . So for those who have ambi t ions to become scholars . I should urge that you be discon-tent with all cliches, to forsake the tr ivial and the banal , to know m o r e and more , to live in an ivory tower if you will or must , but to keep the windows open to the great vistas, to welcome the s t r anger who dis-agrees with you or proves you mis-taken. to wait for light and more light.

But int imately associated with this quest for knowledge is another paral lel search , the pursuit of ex-cellence. of the highest and best. On every occasion tha t you stand tip-toe on a little hill, move on to the g rea te r heights ahead and be-yond. Excel . Master . Expose your-selves to the best that has been thought and said in the past , and then press on. There is an Everes t beaconing at the summi t . Always begin your inquiry or study as near to the front ier or summi t as pos-sible, at the most advanced post of knowledge in your par t icular field. There are a lways new con-tributions of which to take account, new ideas, new points of view, new books. Deal with the important is-sues. Choose impor tant sub jec t s for your research . If you do, you will find that they will provide you

There is a lways the thrill of new discovery, of seeing what no one else has ever seen so well. There a re the grea t satisfactions of an interest ing life, and more that that , of a cult ivated life, a life cultivat-ed by discipline and integrity. The t rue scholar is neither a boor nor a bore. He has learned that humility is the first mark of scholarship. He has a sense of humor because his scholarship has taught him not to take himself too seriously and to have away with all pretense. He has learned wisdom, a wisdom that is born of compassion and chari ty and hard work. And withal he is a reverent m a n , for, whatever his field, upon a day he will sense some-thing of the r anges of the Infinite.

Hope College has good reason to recall the famil iar lines of Tenny-son engraved at the ent rance of our chapel.

So a f t e r papers and words and whispers , what was "The Chang?-l ing?" By definition, a changeling is a deformed child who has been substi tuted by dwar fs for a normal child. In this column's context, it mean t a distorted, exaggera ted world had been substituted for t h -" r e a l " or conventional world.

Reali ty—and the reality of Hope —can be understood only in t e rms of what they are not or ought not to be. Normalcy must be constantly juxtaposed with the abnormal in order to give the fo rmer a concrete value. In contrast to this columned world of Skagfang lolling about the Kletz, the anxious, t rue and ques-ting student can be bet ter seen.

To write of our Goodness, Beautv and Truth would have been boring and, above all, a lie for I do not know what they are . But 1 had a vision of what they were not. Satire resulted only when the sphere of "ought not to be" overlapped the snhere of " i s . " And mockerv c a m e only in so fa r as we confuse a Wor'd of the Tulip with a World of the Truth , i. e., in so fa r as we are imperfec t .

Here fan tasy existed to be pierced and broken by the solitary mind. In opposition to the illusion was p raver , observance, discioline.

thought and action. The opposing " r e a l " life of the solitary mind, and its subsequent acts, was that , which must e m e r g e f rom this c a m p u s an-nually in June .

What there is of the g rea t senior malaise is caused by the fact that we feel we a re leaving Hope with mere f r a g m e n t s of exper ience and knowledge: with a chance r e m a r k , or a cer ta in prof ' s gesticulations or some grass f r o m the P ine Grove or n p lacard or a mass of notecards which never quite c ame together in the right m a n n e r or an unsolved math problem or a sneaker full of sand. But that such things do not fit into any neat sys tem is good: thev never should or could. For a oerfect pa t te rn of all event and idea, eithpr religious or mundane , is the possession only of a closed mind.

To have a crit ical and open mind should be the most impor tant re-sult of Hope 's education. After four years , one is not handed a B. A., a theological sys tem and a certain behavioral pa t te rn . One is r a the r m a d e to realize the complex-ity of his own mind and then to utilize an ability in choosing and acting, intellectually, socially and moral ly. And one. hopefully, has

also been taught to unceasingly de-mand. Light, more l ight ."

But enough. For read ing this column, I, Ethel Schwartz , H a m -Bates and Auntie Maud thank you For four years , Hope has been a good place to be in and few people never r eg re t their going away . Still we shall go away. Fo r he r e is never an end. but a beginning and an a lways .

A Look Into the Future: Will Hope Be a University or Remain a Small College?

By Robert Donia

WILL HOPE COLLEGE SOON BE-COME a smal l mul t ivers i ty in its own right, over run by hordes of in-

coming f r e shmen who seem to mult iply each y e a r ? Or can the college main ta in its p resen t size and still f inance the next 10 y e a r s of Hope College educat ion? Is the re some a l ternat ive in be tween?

These questions are int imately re la ted with other fac tors af fect ing the c o l l e g e -its relat ionship with the Re fo rmed Church, the n u m b e r of s tudents seeking en t r ance to college in the next few yea r s , an archi tect -ural plan for the campus , and, p e r h a p s most important , the whole question of what philosophy of education will govern Hope College.

Sooner or later every one of these prob-l ems lands square on the desk of Hope 's P res iden t , Dr. Calvin VanderWerf . To speak with him is to gain an appreciat ion for the complexi ty of p rob lems fac ing Hope in the fu tu re and the vi r tual impossibility of pleas-ing everyone.

Dr . VanderWerf , backed by the Board of Trus tees , is f i rmly convinced that Hope College should not abandon its present phil-osophy of education. Hope should, he be-lieves, continue in the tradit ion of a pr ivate , smal l , church-re la ted l iberal a r t s college seeking to serve its Reformed Church con-s t i tuency while constantly up-grading the quali ty of a Hope education. To continue se rv ing the consti tuency, Hope mus t keep costs within the r a n g e of availabil i ty for most of that consti tuency. "The genius of Hope College for a century is that it has taken students f r o m the lower and middle income bracke t s , " the Pres ident has stat-ed. Rais ing costs to $2000 to $2500 a yea r "would cut out most of our present stu-d e n t s . " Dr. VanderWerf is therefore deter-mined to keep costs down if at all possible:

Higher Tuition: Loss of Students?

" T h e bulk of our clientele is m a d e up of a v e r a g e middle-income famil ies . If we in-c r ea se costs, what f ract ion will still be coming to Hope?"

Last spring the Board of Trus tees stat-ed that "We feel that any increase in tui-tion would significantly and substant ia l ly change the c h a r a c t e r of the college as we have known it for a cen tu ry . " Certainly this s t a t emen t should not be taken to m e a n tha t the s a m e dollar r a t e s mus t be main-tained over many y e a r s to come. Instead, it m e a n s that the cost of a Hope educat ion, re la t ive to the cost of living in the United Sta tes , cannot t ake a d ras t i c jump. As College Treasu re r Henry Steffens has stat-ed, " I t would be impossible to ma in ta in presen t ra tes over a long period of t i m e . "

Hope students m a y , in the next severa l yea r s , expect minor inc reases to mee t ris-ing costs : yet the spirit within the Admin-istrat ion is strongly opposed to any m a j o r j u m p in tuition, room and board cha rges which would al ter the basic clientele the college now serves . Again to quote Mr. Steffens , "1 do not think in two or t h r e e y e a r s this ' p resen t ) level can be mainta in-ed. But I do not think the increase will be s ignif icant . Our s tudents would not be

dras t ica l ly a f f ec t ed . "

This commi tmen t of the Adminis t ra t ion has s t rong implications for the question of Hope ' s fu ture size. If Hope is not to be a haven for the elite, old sources of r evenue m u s t be tapped to continue increas ing the qual i ty of an education—or even to main-

tain the present quality.

IT MAY COME AS A SHOCK to some that Hope College is as of the present time planning to run on a deficit next year.

Mr. Steffens emphasizes that this "antici-pated deficit is minimal" and that much of the slack will hopefully be taken up by ex-

panded sources of income.

A projected one-year deficit, kept to a minimum by renewed fund-raising efforts, is not an irresponsible act; there is a precedent for such an operation of Hope College during the Korean War. But the college's present financial status is par-tially the result of an extensive period of stationarv size followed by a sudden spurt in growth. Between 1960 and 1964 Hope gained a total of 12 students; in 1965 the

enrollment shot up by 148.

New sources of funds often predicate their giving on growth. Thus any decision to stop growth at its present phase runs head-on into an almost insoluble problem. Added to the lack of growth from 1960-64, Hope would be charged with stagnation if

growth were stopped now.

As Dr. Vander Werf points out, "Ideal ly we would all like to r ema in a small college —we may be too large a l ready . The ques-tion is whether we can responsibly m a k e the decision not to grow. An emotional decision is different f r o m a responsible one.

Dynamism and Growth

Dr. VanderWerf cites the Higher Educa-tion Facil i t ies Act as an example of the emphas i s on growth. "The number one cri-terion on which these g ran t s a r e awarded in Michigan is growth ," he says. "People associate dynamism with growth. If we don't grow we can ' t absorb what would be considered our sha re of enrol lment increas-es. The support of any constituency is dependent on growth."

This is not a plight of our college alone. In a s t a tement of P r iva t e College Presi-dents p repa red by Pres ident Weimer Hicks of Kalamazoo College, he s ta tes , "The ma-jority of our pr iva te colleges would pre fe r to maintain our present size or expand more modestly. However, in order to serve our state and its youth, we are project ing enrol lment expansions which must be fi-nanced . "

So students can continue to look for en-rollment increases at Hope—and it won't do much good to t r ans fe r anywhere else to avoid them. The p ressures of increasing enrol lments across the country dictate tha( any college not wholly independent of out-side p ressures must move ahead in the number of s tudents it educa tes .

There are , of course, a number of ad-vantages to higher enrol lments . It takes a cer ta in n u m b e r of facul ty to adequately cover the subject m a t t e r of each depart-ment—a so-called "cr i t ica l s ize ." For most depar tments , this is 3-4 persons. A min imum

enrollment is essential for maintaining an adequate teaching staff . Besides, s tudents learn f rom each other as well, and the op-portunities for developing a cosmopolitan student body and providing opportunities for of f -campus and overseas study a re in-creased as size increases .

Also, Hope College needs certain build-ing whether it expands or not. A student center , expanded science facilities, more c lassrooms, and two new physical education facilities a r e needed even if not a single student is added to the rolls.

Growth; How Much and How Fast

Having now seen the near-necessity of increasing enrollments, we now turn to the question of how much and how fast . What is Hope's " f a i r s h a r e " , and what plans a r e now being m a d e to mee t the fu ture in-creases?

In de termining our " f a i r s h a r e " , a num-ber of fac tors mus t be considered. F i rs t , the percen tage of Amer ican college stu-dents in p r iva te colleges is continually de-creasing. To quote Dr. Hicks. "A genera-tion ago one half of the nat ion 's college population were in pr iva te colleges. Today that pe rcen tage has dropped to 40 oer cent, and year by vear the imba lance becomes grea te r . Here in Michigan, an even g rea te r imbalance has existed. A decade ago 25 per cent of our college s tudents were in pr iva te colleges; now the f igure has dropped to 18 per cent. Current studies indicate that the present college boom will lower its mem-bers to 10 per cen t . " This means that al-though the pr iva te colleges a re comneting h^rd for funds, a school need not main-tain a growth ra t e eaual to the national average to compete favorab ly with other pr iva te colleges. Of course, the g rea te r one 's erowth r a t e the bQ t ter one's c o m p e l itive position in the small-college marke t .

r

Says Dr. VanderWerf , "If we did. it would be very expensive to do so . "

SECOND, ONE MUST REALIZE that the present projected enrol lments a r e not as horrendous as somet imes por t rayed.

The U.S. Office of Educat ion, which at-t empts to project fu ture enrol lments up to 10 yea r s in advance , s ta tes that "Fal l ing birth r a t e s will level off by 1965 and then rise slowly to 1974." This is based on care-ful analysis of census da ta and may be good news to fu tu re college presidents. The Office repor ts tha t " the number of 5 and 6-year olds en ter ing the school sys tem is approaching a s ta t ionary figure of approxi-mate ly 4.0 million a y e a r . "

The Office of Educat ion report looks like this;

jected national t rend for p r iva te colleges and agrees to accept her " f a i r s h a r e , " she will have 2446 s tudents in the fall of 1974.

According to Dr . VanderWerf , the archi-tect now working on a m a s t e r plan for the c a m p u s has been instructed to plan for 2500 students as an eventual enrol lment .

TH E S E F I G U R E S SHOULD NOT be tak-en as absolute guides. Hope College is in a s tate with an exceptionally smal l

percentage of s tudents in p r iva te colleges; in addition, some cognizance must be taken of the fact that only 18 per cent of RCA youth attend church colleges, and that the other two church colleges will, accord ing to Dr. VanderWerf , probably grow fas te r than Hope due to their initially smal le r sizes. What these fac tors do to the project ions of Hope's " fa i r s h a r e " is a m a t t e r of specula-tion, and may not m a t t e r much anyway since the Office of Educat ion f igures should be taken only as guides to the mag-nitude with which one is dealing.

Adequate Planning Necessary The almost inevitable decision to grow

must be accompanied by adequa te planning and provisions for new students . Here Hope College has done considerably less well, and unless some changes a re m a d e pret ty fas t it looks like more of the s a m e initial chaos might be in store next year .

It is common knowledge that during this year one full wing of Phe lps Hall saw-three girls housed in rooms intended for two. Much more d i smaying and shocking is the fac t that 84 girls a r e now scheduled for the s a m e t r ea tmen t in both Phelps and Durfee next year . On the m e n ' s side, Dean Carey reports that " the re is no net inc rease in housing avai lable on c a m p u s . " More men will have to live off c a m p u s next year .

Housing Shortages The Dean of Women, Mrs. Van Eenen-

a a m . was called upon to furnish six addi-tional cottages dur ing last s u m m e r to ab-sorb the number of girls included in Hope 's 148 increase in enrol lment this yea r . Two more cottages a r e now planned for next fall. Next yea r 500 f r e s h m e n will en ter Hope, if projections a re borne out. F igur ing an " a v e r a g e " 9 per cent at tr i t ion ra te , this should give us an enrol lment of 1716, only 11 over this year . Yet "p l ann ing" will still place dozens of s tudents in crowded housing facilities.

Physical facilities a r e lacking, but be-yond this one sees a g rea t weakness in a more important a rea , closelv re la ted to the school 's purpose as a Christ ian, l iberal a r t s college. The Profi le Commit tee Repor t viv-idly descr ibes the potential s ta te of a cam-pus grown to 2500 students; it po r t r ays l a rge depar tmen t s , dedicated to teaching special-ties and war r ing constantly with one an-other . In such a situation, unity of approach and common purpose a re quickly extin-guished. Concerning the possibilities of a-voiding such chaos, the Prof i le Commit tee concludes, " P e r h a p s by grea t ly renewed effor ts , creat ive thinking, and read iness to invest the substant ial sums of monev nec-ess^rv . it manv be possible to continue ef-fectively to provide an education for the "whole m a n " as this is conceived in our Christian perspec t ive ."

UNFORTUNATELY, RIGHT NOW PRACTICALLY nothing is being done, let alone "grea t ly renewed e f fo r t s , " io

main ta in an al l- important sense of com-muni ty in the mids t of increas ing size. As some students move fu r the r and fu r the r f r o m the campus, ei ther in a p a r t m e n t s oi cot tages, they know fewer and fewer other s tudents . As classes continue to grow, the personal contact between t eacher and stu-dent decreases accordingly. Very few are those who don't have a t least one c lass of 50 or more students. Such t rends represen t a fa i lure to thoroughly explore all the im-plications of wha t Hope is get t ing into dur-ing the next 10 yea r s .

The purpose of this is not to blame any one person for failure to make a decision, for it simply seems that until now not enough thorough planning has gone into the question of size. With the architect's mas-ter plan scheduled for presentation at the spring meeting of the Board, this is certain-ly an ideal time for re-assessment and care-ful advanced planning. The confusion of last fall was distressing and should not be re-peated. More important, the threatening de-velopment of impersonality on campus should be carefully studied and acted upon.

Indeed, Hope College has no alternative but to maintain a steady, consistent, con-trolled rate of growth. Such growth must be accompanied by real creative thought and innovation so that a sense of Christian com-munity may continue to characterize a Hope education. This represents a genuine chal-lenge and opportunity to prove the viability of Hope's philosophy of education.

The Year in Revietv

President Wes Michaelson: Xeader With a Vision' By John M. Mulder

"Gran ted , I a m a bit idealistic. But in all I try to do, and in all that 1 hope for, I trust I have been an idealist without illusions. Fo r once you see clearly—once you have vision—of what a college, a life and a rela-tionship essentially can be, then you work and s t r ive and act believing

that it will be ." So stated Wes Michaelson. presi-

dent of the Student Senate during the pas t year , in his final speech as president . Behind these words is a picture of a leader with a vision.

"I went into this job ," he says of himself , "with a pret ty clear idea of what I wanted the Senate to be. Sure, this included ideas about activit ies and projects , but more than that I had the idea that the Senate should be more than just a nice little group that organ-izes things like Homecoming, the Pull. Nvkerk. etc., but fai ls to do much which is really s ignif icant ."

Ambitious New Projects

With this in mind, Michaelson pushed forward with some ambi-tious projec ts , some of which were directed toward the c a m p u s and others which a t tempted to involve

s tudents in a r e a s outside the cam-pus. Most of this is history by now. The Vietnam drive, which was Michaelson 's bra in child, was organized and brought in over $6.-000 for the hamle t of Le Loi, South Vietnam. During spr ing vacation 21 Hope s tudents visited Cleveland. New York and Appalachia to wit-ness f irst-hand the e f fec t s of pov-er ty and s lums.

Of course, some of these endeav-ors to involve Hope s tudents in a r e a s outside the c a m p u s weren' t quite as successful . The Vietnam conference was relat ively well-at-tended, but the speake r s were all suppor te rs of the Gove rnmen t ' s DO-sition in Vietnam. Thus, it amount-ed to little more than a government teach-in. F u r t h e r m o r e , the Tues-day morning assemblv series, eu-phemist ical ly titled "Outlook '66"

WES MICHAELSON

during the second semes te r , was hardly at tended at all. except per-haps by the " f ron t pew minori ty ." The resul t : next yea r no scheduled

assemblies but special convocations

when good speakers a re obtained.

Campus Issues Didn't Suffer

Michaelson says that Senate at-tention to c a m p u s issues did not suffer as a result of this new em-phasis. "The ext ra dimension of things outside the campus was not at the expense of campus prob-lems but as an e x t r a . " The Sen-ate record s e e m s to subs tant ia te his c la im.

Since the demise of the drinking issue, there has been a new quiet over the a rea of student regulations. Instead, this yea r the Senate con-sidered an honor code, conducted a ra ther hasty, inconclusive and abor-tive study of the problem, and then dropped the whole idea, somewhat to Michaelson's d ismay. "I wish thev had looked into it more deep-ly." he savs. "but most of the sen-ators felt that it would never work ."

HOPE STUDENTS ARE CORDIALLY WELCOME

Editor's note: The following ar-

ticle was written by Dr. William

E. Welmers, professor at UCLA.

Dr. Welmers was a student of

Professor Wolters and as one of

his most successful students, he

prepared this tribute for the

anchor.

By Dr. William E. Welmers The re t i rement of Professor Ed-

ward J . Wolters brings to a close forty yea r s of devoted service to Hope College, and above all to his s tudents as individuals, each one sac red to himself because each one is sacred to God. Unlike God, he obviously doesn' t know every hai r tha t falls f rom our heads : but

he c a r e s . Excel lence in teaching should. I

believe, be measu red not in t e r m s of the impression one gets of fhe t eache r ' s erudition, but r a the r in t e r m s of student pe r fo rmance . Ed Wolters has not been concerned that people should marve l at the depth or breadth of his scholarship, though that is careful and thor-ough: he has r a the r been concerned that his s tudents learn a language. To that goal he dedicated his con-s iderable talents. With the instinct of a t rue teacher , he long ago used pedagogical techniques which even today a re somet imes scorned as unworthy of a scho la r : he a lways knew what some alleged scholars have yet to learn — that those tech-niques a re highly effective.

Ed Wolters has been a busy man for these forty years . In addition to a teaching load that has rare ly been as light as " n o r m a l , " he has been heavily involved in the work of his church, and has had the good sense to ba lance his responsibilities with an interest in many aspects of outdoor life and labor. Yet, like

PROF. EDWARD J. WOLTERS

many a busy man , he has a lways had time. A class is never too rushed to explain an ablat ive abso-lute once more : any s tudent 's prob-lem suddenly becomes the order of the day.

It must a lways be true tha t a m a n ' s family is closer to him than anything else in life. Ed Wolters has a family that demons t ra tes in many ways his devotion and deter-mination. On this occasion of his re t i rement f rom a fai thful and im-aginat ive academic ca ree r . I know-that many of his s tudents join m e —one of his earliest—in claiming family relationship. He has been an intellectual and spiritual f a the r to us — an example of meticulous scholarship, Christ-like pat ience and sacrif icing love. We wish for him and his beloved Laura a con-tinued life of service , and God's richest blessings.

yea r to r ecommend changes in the smoking rules. Many of these were accepted by the Student Life Com-mit tee , but Michaelson is disgrun-tled about the fai lure to put the changes into effect . "We ' re still miss ing smoking rooms in the li-b r a ry and in two of the women s d o r m s , " he said.

Addressing itself to a tradit ional c a m p u s whipping boy, the Slater Food Service, the Senate worked out a plan for a Continental break-fast which Slater introduced. In ad-dition. a commit tee was commis-sioned to study possible changes in the scheduling of finals as well as to look into the possibility of t eacher

evaluat ions.

He does feel that the Senate can do much more in s t imulat ing the intellectual life of the c a m p u s and in lobbying for changes in the aca-demic s t ructure . He sees off-cam-pus concerns as one way of doing this. "If the spring tr ips a re noth-ing more than a positive exper ience for 21 students , then they aren ' t successful . They 've got to se rve as a ca ta lys t for fu r ther discussion," he concludes.

NSA's Failures

Most disappointing about this y e a r ' s Senate has been the passage into oblivion of the National Student Assn. chapter at Hope. In its first yea r , it served as a thorn in the flesh of the Senate , making studies and goading the Senate into new a r e a s of action. This yea r NSA has hardly been heard , and when it spoke, it was a still, small voice. The leadership conference in the fall fell under NSA organizing, and despi te high hopes for it. Michael-son candidly descr ibes it as " a big d u d . "

The Vietnam conference was also directed by NSA. and the par t ia l success of it leads Michaelson to conclude with considerable under-s ta tement that it was "poorly p lanned ." He hopes that next yea r NSA will once again be a second Senate, direct ing and organizing ef-ficiently activities which the Senate cannot or will not handle.

In all. Michaelson's a t tempt to redirect the orientation of the Sen-ate to ma t t e r s outside the c a m p u s must be seen as part ial ly success-ful. Since this emphas i s was notably absent in previous adminis t ra t ions , he had nowhere to go but up. The Senate could, of course, do more . Certainly it might evolve to the po-sition of a forum for campus opin-ion. as is the case with other col-'ege student associations.

Michaelson's Contribution: Vision

Michaelson's Senate did a lot: pe rhaps they could have done more . But even he realizes tha t : "of course we ' re not there ye t , " he says. "Of course a lot has to bt worked on. But I trust that we see where we ' r e going and a re excited about gett ing t he r e . " Finally, his contribution has to be his sense of vision and his opening of a ser ies of new doors. The Senate* to come could do worse than follow this lead.

The Pre-sem Student at Hope:

What Is His Image on Campus? By Keith Taylor

Pre - semina r i ans have tradit ionally occupied a special position on our campus . Since the t ime when Hope was a prep scliool for the sem-inary across the s t reet until just a few yea r s ago when one of the f ra ter -nities ceased to be a pre-sem society, bright-eyed ministers-to-be basked in the w a r m t h of popular e s t eem and official respect . Not so for s tudents who were not for tunate enough to have received the divine call.

Today, in 1966, such is no longer

the case. Student at t i tudes toward the pre-sem s tudents have changed. In this ar t ic le , these a t t i tudes will be used to a point toward two pertin-ent quest ions: How special a r e pre-s em s tudents? What a re pre-sem s tudents t ry ing to do?

It is as impossible to speak of pre-sem s tudents as a class by themse lves a s it is to lump all history m a j o r s together and then try to say something meaningfu l about them. "You shouldn' t con-sider them sepa ra te ly , " said one student of pre-seminar ians . " I think they ' re as normal as everyone else i s . " said another . Another student could only think of one pre-sem who was a "holy j e r k ; " the res t were "a l l r igh t . "

Many s tudents don't know any p re - sems ; most at t i tudes a re based on acqua in tance with a very smal l number of pre-sem students and positive or negat ive feelings depend on the nre-sem involved. And while most p re - seminar ians a re respected as active, progress ive m e m b e r s of the campus , there is a lways an oc-casional "holy j e rk . " In addition, the re is an unknown number of nameless , faceless young men who wander around campus , and no one seems to know anything about t h e m . Some s tudents suspect that they a re "underground p re - sems ."

Then the re a re what Dr. Arthur J en t z has called "The Secret Sem-ina r i ans" who conceal their inten-tions to go on to seminary until the last minute . Usually this is done in an effor t to avoid being branded as one of the holy jerks .

It is quite clear that there is nothing more special about being pre-sem than there is about being pre-med or a business m a j o r . And while most pre-sems fit well in c a m p u s life, it still r emains that there is something about the voca-tion of min is te r which seems to a t t r ac t a cer ta in kind of person— what one student has called the "high-school menta l i ty . " Such pre-s e m s a re easi ly recognized by what one s tudent calls their "adolescent

sense of h u m o r . "

Many s tudents feel that this mi-nority group of pre-sems thinks in-side of a cocoon. "We all have our

illusions, I suppose, and he has his ." said one student. They seem to place all their attention on the far-off goal of being a minis te r ; the present situation of being a college student appea r s insignificant next to the towering spire of their " l i fe ' s work ." Such pre-sems tend to isolate themselves f rom c a m p u s life and to concentra te on a vague sense of the divine finger pushing them along through life. This small group of p re -seminar ians is very untypical of the Hope College pre-sem student . It is hoped that by br inging them to light, a r a the r unheal thy condition among some of the church ' s fu ture minis ters

WESTERN SEMINARY BY NIGHT

might be corrected. P re - seminar ians? One sympathet-

ic s tudent described them: "They a re very nice people and also very confused people; they ' r e c o n -fused because every t ime I 've ever asked one why he wanted to just hopes there is a God and that the church knows what it 's talking about. He 's no d i f ferent f rom the rest of us. We're all confused ." be a minis ter , he doesn ' t know. He W h i t arp pre-sem students trying to do? "Get an education, like ev-erybody e lse ." he said.

Most pre-sem students a r e seen as any other s tudent—their chief interest is to get an education in prepara t ion for a professional vo-cation. Yet. here again one encoun-ters the "holy j e r k " who "knows

all the answers . " One student detected a " r a t h e r

ecumen ica l " at t i tude among the pre-seminar ians he knew. "Many of them are more up on things than most non pre-sem s tuden t s . "

Yet, again, there pops up the "guy who thinks tha t doctrine is God." He poses as the enlightened apologist who can slay all heresy with a simple appeal to a few fundamen ta l " t r u t h s . " He's no long-er interested in sea rch ing for truth because he has a l ready found it— and it 's not only valid for h im but for everyone else as well; so, he sets himself up as the "defender of the f a i th" and spends his t ime careful ly drawing a line between " t r u t h " and " e r r o r " behind which he can sit securely and mumble

pious phrases at the world. One need only cont ras t this iron-

to realize that here again is an unheal thy tendency among certain

pre-seminar ians . In conclusion, it must be empha-

sized tha t the major i ty of pre-sem students cannot be discussed be-cause what can be said about them can be said about most s tudents. Likewise, discussion of pre-semin-a r ians who are not typical would similarly apply to nontypical stu-dents who aren ' t pre-sem.

On May 19. Dr. J a m e s Muilen-burg gave the last Centennial Lec-tu re in his ser ies of five. This lec-tu re . in keeping with the overal l t h e m e of the relat ionship of the Bible and man . was titled "The Biblical Unders tanding of Des t iny ."

Dr. Muilenburg noted tha t "i t isn ' t biblical to refer to destiny as fa te . " Israel is an historical people. Us life " h a s a beginning and an end. Israel is an eschat-ological people concerned with a des t ina t ion," said Hope's Theolog-

gion-in-Residence.

In the Bible is found a " speak ing cf first and last th ings" and a con-viction that " the re is a destiny that shapes the events of life. God h a s a plan and a purpose for the world and his people of des t iny" is the Biblical c la im according to Dr. Muilenburg.

"The whole orientation of the Old Tes tament is the future , not the pas t , " he contended. The fu-tu re lies at " the conclusion of the d r a m a of r edempt ion . " "The Lord of Hosts" is the fu ture for which m a n can hope, said Dr. Muilenburg.

"Chr i s t , " he pointed out, " s t ands historically as a center between the beginning and the end . " He o f f e r s man hope for redemption. Although the prophets speak of " the da rk gloom of judgment f rom which no person or nation can e s c a p e , "

Jesus subst i tutes himself just as the verdict is pronounced and says,

" t ake m e , " he said.

UP AND OVER—Doug Nichols soars over the bar in pole vault competition during the MIAA field day

held at Hope s Van Raalte field last Saturday. Hope swept the meet and the league championship to win the All-Sports trophy.

Hope College's baseba l l t e a m won the MIAA basebal l championshiD in a decis ive doubleheader with Adr ian 9-2 and 3-2 last week.

This is the third season in four y e a r s that coach Dary l Sieden-top has led the Fly ing D u t c h m e n on to the title. Hope 's MIAA record is 9-3 for the season.
