3 2 campus scene NEWS FROM HOPE COLLEGE, AUGUST 1981 ARTHUR JENTZ "There are many dmensons to the lfe of Hope College: the ntellectual, the Chrstan, the socetal, the physcal, the fnancal. From the vantage pont of the Board, a member has the opportunty and challenge of confrontng the entre operaton of the organzaton, and of attemptng to deal wth a varety of ssues havng overall sgnfcance for the exstence and future of the nsttuton. Members of the Board each brng to our delberatons ther own areas of experence and expertse, prepared to share these n cooperatve effort. In my earler tme of Board membershp, I grew to greatly apprecate the enthusastc commtment to the College and the ntellgent leadershp exemplfed by Board members. I am most gratfed to serve agan as a Trustee." TERRY NAGELVOORT "A partcular challenge facng Hope College seems to be ntergratng the rch hertage and tradton of Hope College s past wth the tremendous nflux of technology of the future. Also there s the tenson of provdng qualty experences of educatonal and socal development at Hope n an economc framework that seems to narrow the opportunty to fewer people. I beleve that the Hope graduate moves nto the marketplace wth an above average capacty to make hs or her envronment better The matchng of opportuntes wth scarce resources wll requre lvely thnkng and great effort. Ths process s not unque among small countres, small colleges, small companes." CARL VER SEEK "I have found servce on ths Board to be challengng and an nterestng way to contrbute somethng to the betterment of Hope College and hgher educaton. I partcularly enjoy the contact wth the other Board members as we try to deal wth the current problems and shape the future of the college. When we reflect on the profound nfluence that the college years have on each college student, we recognze the mportance of makng the college experence as meanngful and proftable as possble. I strongly beleve n hgher educaton conducted n an atmosphere whch promotes Chrstan values. Snce for most college students ths s the frst tme they are on ther own' t s mportant that they be n a settng whch ncludes people wth smlar values." CAROL WAGNER "As the years pass, I value the educatonal foundaton that Hope provded for me more and more. I am deeply commtted to lend whatever support I am able to further that experence for today s youth. As a parent of college students, and a person wth some background n board membershps, I am pleased to be part of the decson makng process affectng present and future generatons of students at perhaps the most mportant perod n ther lves. Hope s combnaton of qualty ntellectual exploraton, broad lberal arts stmulaton, deep respect for ndvdual growth and development, dversty of expresson and creatvty enveloped under the Chrstan foundaton s a model educatonal approach that must be supported and hghlghted." JAY WEENER One of Hope s great strengths s the ablty to communcate the mplcatons of the Chrstan fath wthout forcng t on people. The admnstraton and faculty set the tone by ther own personal lves. The favorable student-teacher rato at Hope makes t possble for personal nterchange to take place n whch the Chrstan vewpont s caught as well as taught I beleve the church can and should take an ncreasng role n provdng substantal fnancal contrbutons plus sendng ther daughters and sons to Hope College. Ths s an area whch the College must contnue to cultvate. Churches should be encouraged to ncrease ther support of the College. Whle provdng no panacea to cure nflaton s lls, ncreased church support could go a long way toward helpng Hope keep ts tuton costs reasonable.

Recently I came across ths "Hope College Song," also ttled "Collegum," n a box or mementos. Do you have any nformaton on t and can you provde a translaton of the Latn words? A. The words of the song were wrtten by the Rev. Henrcus E. Dosker, who was a lector at Hope n the late 1800s and early 1900s. Apparently the song s the one sung at the College's quartercentennal celebraton n June, 1980, nforms archvst Andrew Vander Zee. (The hstory A Century of Hope says that "Professor Nykerk drected a Glee Club of twenty voces n the sngng of a Latn song composed by Professor Henry E. Dosker.") Professor Nykerk s credted wth composng the melody, whch apparently was adapted from an old German song. We asked Prof. Albert Bell, assstant professor of classcs and hstory, to translate the Latn words. He provded the followng: 1. College, college, now we prase thee wth lvng voces joned, wth the prases of us all, Wth love and honors we salute thee. Wth love and honors we salute thee. 2. College, college, now we celebrate. "Now let all Academe rejoce wth us.' Wth love and honors we salute thee. 3. College, college, smle upon your sons (or chldren ; the Latn allflows ether) Test our works Illumne us always wth hope.

"The school s the hub of a small communty," sad George Harper. "Everybody n town shows up for the school's athletc events. A lot of other communty programs usually take place n the school as well. Alba and Mancelona are not one room school houses flled wth barefooted chldren, balancng slates on ther knees, ala "Lttle House on the Prare." Nor can these schools be easly compared wth the school systems of a large cty lke Chcago, where the people and resources are very dfferent from those found n a small town. The Alba gnd Mancelona schools ncorporate characterstcs of both the cty and the one room school. Such a school system, a modern school set n a rural area, places unque demands on ts teachers. These are some of the demands Hope students have noted. Small Town Schools A 'Communty' Educaton by Larry Holder '82 Tucked away n the southeastern comer of Antrm County, 60 mles northeast of Traverse Cty, are two small towns, Alba and Mancelona. When they're not workng, the resdents of ths Chan-of-Lakes regon can spend ther tme hkng through the Jordan Valley Wlderness Area, fshng n the 70-odd county lakes, morel huntng n the sprng, golfng at the nearby resorts of Elk Rapds and Schuss Mountan, or partcpatng n local events that nvolve the communty and the schools. Every May for the past seven years, Dr. Carl Schackow and a group of Hope students have loaded ther cars wth supples, and ther mnds wth hgh expectatons, for the journey northward. As potental teachers, these Hope students have sgned on for the three week May term enttled "Rural Educaton." "The reason I started the program," stated Dr. Schackow," was because I had students come nto my offce and say I've got an ntervew n a lttle town called Gopher's Eyebrow, Indana or Mustard Seed, Mnnesota.' I'd say, 'Boy, that sounds really good do you know anythng about small towns?' They'd say, 'No, nothng. I've lved n Bloomfeld Hlls all my lfe.' So, I thought t mght be good to let students see what a small town s lke. That was the essence, the mpetus, behnd the start of the Rural Educaton program." Dr. Schackow chose the two school dstras of Alba and Mancelona not only because they were n a rural settng, but also because the two schools seemed "cued n" to acceptng college students n the classrooms. Wth a mssonary's zeal and a desre to serve, Hope students "releve" the Mancelona and Alba teachers by provdng classroom assstance for the last three weeks of the school year. The students also work wth athletc teams, go on feld trps wth ther classes, and attend local churches. Are ther efforts apprecated? Ask Mr. John Fcktner, the prncpal of Mancelona's modern elementary school. "Ths year I had twce as many requests for Hope students than there were students to fll the requests. On the frst day of the school year, I had teachers come up to me and say, 'Don't forget, I ddn't have a Hope student last year how was your summer, John?' " Teachers n both school systems descrbed the program as "super," "tremendous,""a real lft at the end of the year." "Ther exctement has rubbed off on me, sad the Mancelona teacher Ms. Daryl Allson Gamble. "My response s to gve them the best experence I can ; t works both ways." Mrs. Jan Korr, another Mancelona elementary teacher added, "1 gve Carl a lot of credt for the qualty of student teachers he brngs to us. They're really a sncere group of workers." Besdes assstng n the classes and nvolvng themselves n communty actvtes, the Hope student teachers are gven a chance to dscuss ther classroom experences wth one another. Crowdng themselves nto one of the cabns where they stay on the south shore of Lake talk about ther feelngs and nsghts concernng teachng, students, and lfe n a small town. "You have to realze," Hope student Tm Arnold told the group, "that you are ther hgher educaton. Students n a small town probably won't contnue ther educaton beyond hgh school. Whatever you teach them s all the educaton they'll get." "You really have to gve and become nvolved n the chldren's lves," stated Jll Dame. The teacher I've asssted (Barbara Bard runs the Specal Educaton class n Alba Hgh School) really relates to the kds. She makes clothes for them ; the kds go to her house after school for mlk and cookes ; she goes to two dfferent churches, her Hope student Frea Westervelt arn her charges. Jll Dame: "'You need to go beyond the classroom." George Harper: "You do your best to open the door of the students' mnd to thngs beyond ther small communty. Pam Heemstra: "You have to be a mult-purpose person, knowng how to do a lot of dfferent thngs. Frea Westervelt: "Sometmes, you have to be more creatve, because you smply don't have access to the facltes or supples of a larger school dstrct." Teresa Morency: "You have to be able to tolerate workng wth a few people over a long perod of tme." Jane Morey: "There s an emotonal nvolvement between a student and a teacher n a small school that you're more aware of you have to learn to deal wth t." The objectve of Dr. Schackow's "Rural Educaton" program s to gve the student a chance to teach n a real classroom stuaton ; he also hopes the experence wll make the student aware of other lfestyles. "Sometmes you get caught n a partcular soco-economc set," explaned Dr. Schackow. "Many of the people n Alba and Mancelona have values that may not concde wth your average Hope student. A lberal arts educaton provdes the knd of broadenng experence that I hope s apparent n ths program : as the students are exposed to the values and atttudes of a small communty, they learn to confrm ther own values and at the same tme be more acceptng of others." Has the program been a success? For all those drectly concerned the Hope students, the schools, and the chldren the answer s a postve, "Yes!" As Mke Murch, Mancelona's superntendent for the last eght years, noted, "The program has been good for us. And I guess ts been good for Hope too, because Carl keeps comng back every year."

Ths requres that they analyze ther own nterests and abltes n relaton to at least four dmensons assocated wth college study: 1) academc clmate and facltes ; 2) socal clmate; 3) relgous clmate; 4) the type of communty n whch the college s located. I wsh to address them ndvdually. lsp Academc Clmate There are two related questons of partcular mportance nqurng students should address when they study the academc clmate of a college. Frst, does the college offer top qualty opportunty for ntensve study and career preparaton n the area(s) of nterest held by the student? Secondly, and perhaps more sgnfcant because more students fall nto ths category, wll the academc program accommodate students who are unsure concernng academc and career nterest and wsh to do some explorng? In regard to these questons, t s proftable for hgh school students to serously consder wth ther parents the total scope of the academc experence desred: s a narrower techncal tranng or broader educaton experence desred, and does the college under consderaton offer that dmenson? Breadth and depth of the currculum s another mportant ssue. Although hgh school students normally are not prepared to crtcally analyze currcular offerngs, they can make some good comparsons by checkng course offerngs n college catalogs. Another good nvestgatve technque s to nqure of faculty regardng the breadth of specalzatons offered by varous departments and the opportuntes for ndepth study, should a partcular department be selected for an academc major. Closely ted to ths ssue are the lkelhood of personal nteracton wth professors and sze of classes, dmensons of academc lfe whch vary wdely among colleges and unverstes. Hgh school students should consder carefully ther own preferences as they learn about classroom envronment and opportuntes for n and out of class contacts wth professors at the college they are nvestgatng. Unquestonably, teachng talent, subject matter expertse, and personal values of professors are domnant factors n determnng the qualty of the teachng/learnng process, where serous students are concerned. Yet, great teachers teach James R. Bekkerng s dean for admssons at Hope College. A 1965 Hope graduate, he holds the AT 4. n student personnel admnstraton and Ph.D. n hgher educaton admnstraton from Mchgan State Unversty. Pror to jonng the Hope staff n 19$0. he served as dean for nstructon at Lake Mchgd} College n Benton best when they and ther students work together n facltes whch optmally support that mportant venture. Facltes of all sorts, from dnng halls to recreaton facltes to scence labs, drectly or ndrectly affect the learnng clmate on a campus. They deserve close nspecton by prospectve students and ther parents. Fnally, nqurng students are advsed to compare ther academc credentals (grade pont average, rank n class, test scores) wth the averages brought to that campus by the most recently enrolled freshman class, and to learn how applcants n the past wth academc backgrounds smlar to thers fared n the applcaton process. Whle these crtera should not be consdered n solaton, they do provde a valuable perspectve for college bound students as they look for the rght academc ft or match. Socal Clmate Ths s a personal area, one wth much room for ndvdual dfferences. The best advce one can gve regardng what to look for n socal clmate s, "Know thyself." The socal atmosphere s of great mportance to some college students; to a few t s of no mportance at all. Not all colleges emphasze the same socal functons. Some young people wsh to attend a college where other students have smlar desres and atttudes regardng ths dmenson; others prefer to jon a campus communty where most people hold a dfferent perspectve than ther own. Regardless of one's personal orentaton, however, a good perspectve can be ganed by seekng answers to the followng questons: What cultural actvtes are sponsored by the college? Are there fraterntes and sorortes? If there are, s t essental to jon n order to be meanngfully nvolved n socal actvtes? Do students tend to go home on weekends or stay on campus? What knds of college sponsored actvtes are scheduled? Are there varsty and nther own ntatve? Prospectve college students should determne f they have strong preferences regardng any facet of college socal clmate and then examne the college they are consderng wth those preferences n mnd. A compatble match between student and college on ths dmenson s more sgnfcant for those persons wth strong preferences, but s certanly worthy of consderaton by all students n the decson makng process. Relgous Clmate In lookng for that good ft or match, ths aspect of campus lfe also carres more sgnfcance for some students than for others. The range of relgous clmates on college campuses vares, as well. On some campuses a Chrstan student would feel uncomfortable and out of place; at a few colleges, students wll not even be consdered for admsson unless they publcly profess ther commtment to the Chrstan fath. To gan nsght n ths area, the college bound Chrstan student may want to pose the followng questons: As a Chrstan student would I be rejected, tolerated, or warmly accepted by students and staff? Why? What formal and nformal Chrstan actvtes are avalable to students? Are there relgous requrements on campus? Is there a Chrstan dmenson to the college that wll help prepare me to effectvely nteract wth and contrbute to the secular world I wll enter upon graduaton? In what ways wll my own sprtual growth be challenged 7 Some prevously church-related colleges have concluded that a lberal educaton s not compatble wth the Chrstan perspectve and have dropped the latter n favor of the former. Publc colleges and unverstes, by the nature of ther support, are restrcted concernng the relgous vews they can endorse. Then there are colleges such as Hope that beleve the only truly meanngful lberal arts educaton s grounded n and nfluenced by the hstone Chrstan fath W'Z' mk ;#r mm, alfe m. fev'v make and optons from whch to choose. The needs and preferences of students vary wdely, but all should consder the approprate relgous clmate for them, for ts presence or absence wll very lkely nfluence the development of ther own sprtual perspectves. College Town The sgnfcance of the communty n whch a college s located typcally s not felt untl the students enroll and lve there for a tme. However, most students do select a college wth the goal of spendng at least four years there, durng whch tme they wll nteract wth the town's permanent resdents and utlze ts publc and prvate servces. Ths prospect legtmately calls for some nvestgaton of the nature of that communty by nqurng students and ther parents. Concluson Each of the four dmensons I've addressed s mportant n ts own rght. However, t s only when they become ntegrated (partcularly the frst three) that a college becomes truly dstnctve and ts overall msson becomes evdent. Students should look for the qualty experences they can expect to encounter as a result of ths ntegraton, as well as to the contrbutons they can make to the contnung development of that campus communty. Much nsght can be ganed by talkng wth college representatves, readng the catalog and other publcatons, and, f possble, consultng wth alumn who lve nearby The greatest benefts n ths process are ganed by vstng the campus for the purpose of meetng students and staff, and seeng frsthand the facltes avalable for student use The goal n ths whole process, for both students and the college, should be to develop an mage of the nsttuton for prospectve students whch wll be consstent wth ther actual experences once

7 . campus scene Corporate Learnng Experence At frst glance, t appeared to be a pack of strays f there ever was one. Muscans, scentsts, teachers of German, psychologsts, a lbraran, a poltcal scentst, and a college admnstrator all joned together to compete n the tooth-and-claw cat food ndustry. Rest easy, Purna, no new compettors are afoot. The cat food busnesses were run strctly as management smulatons n an attempt to enable a dozen Hope College professors, representng a wde varety of academc dscplnes, to better understand busness (see adjonng story). The cat food busness smulatons were part of a unque, nterdscplnary workshop offered ths summer by the department of economcs and busness admnstraton. "Busness s conducted through human organzatons, whch, by ther very nature, are mult-dscplnary," sad Barre Rchardson, program leader and charman of the department of economcs and busness admnstraton. "Whether we be scentsts, humansts or socal scentsts, we can fnd much to learn and somedung to contrbute to ths mult-faceted actvty called busness." Ths summer's two-week workshop, enttled "The Amercan Corporaton and Lberal Learnng," was the frst phase n a program funded by a grant from the Shelby Cullom Davs Foundaton of New York Cty. The proposal for the overall program, "Challenges n Amercan Busness," was developed by Rchardson and F. Sheldon Wettack, dean for the natural and socal scences. In addton to runnng ther smulated cat food busnesses, ths year's 12 partcpants met weekday mornngs for two weeks to dscuss ther readngs [Harvard Busness Revew and Fortune magazne were major sources), and vst local ndustres, ncludng Herman Mller, Inc., Haworth, Inc;, Squrt- Pak, Inc., Donnelly Mrrors, Inc. and the General Electrc Company. In-class, workshop partcpants dealt wth questons lke: "Are Amercan busness managers really 'myopc?' " "What lessons can we learn from Japan?" "What s a qualty product, a qualty servce?" "Government regulaton How much s enough?" "What can busness leaders learn from scholars, and vce versa?" The factory vsts expanded on these and other topcs, allowng the professors to hear and see management and workers n acton. Two examples of nterest were Haworth, Inc.'s "Qualty Crcle" program, developed by former Hope assocate professor of German, Alan Bedell, and the smulated "Board of Drectors Meetng" that was gven to the workshop members at Squrt- Pak, Inc. by James F. Brooks, charman, presdent and chef executve offcer of the company. The second phase of Dr. Rchardson's program wll take place durng the academc year, Tony Muderman, assstant professor of busness admnstraton, wll lead a group of students and faculty to such places as U.S. Steel (Bums Harbor), Ford Motor Co. (Dearborn), and the Chcago mercantle and commodty markets. Also durng the academc year, economsts wll be nvted to Hope's campus to further develop student and faculty nterest n busness. The last part of the program (summer, '82) wll provde research grants on a competerve bass to the Hope professors who have partcpated n the frst step of the workshop. Some of the professors have already come forward wth deas for research. "I want to deal wth theores of management," stated Dr. Arthur Jentz (professor of phlosophy), "to study ther operaton, how they generate certan sorts of moral ssues, and the context out of whch these ssues are solved. " "I thnk I'd lke to get nto the area of lookng at a new defnton of regulatory agences," commented Carol Juth-Gavasso, assocate professor of lbrary scence. "I'd lke to look at the relatonshp between busnesses and regulatory agences maybe focusng on an ndustry lke Squrt Pak, and how Mchgan's returnable contanef legslaton has affected them." The clear mplcaton s that busness and academe have somethng to offer each other. Out there n the "real" world busnessmen and women are grapplng wth the ssues whch drectly affect people's lvelhoods and the health of the Amercan economy; communcaton, ntellgence, and a lttle "horse sense" are mportant tools among the workers of a company, and competetvely wthn the market at large. As James F. Brooks sees t: "Just sttng n a board meetng at Squrt-Pak, Inc. s stmulatng. From the perspectve of the academc world, my feelng s you would gan a sense of realty. I thnk you would fnd t enjoyable to contrbute to the busness world." Echoes of Brooks' nsght are clearly apparent n the professors who partcpated n the workshop. "We're always dealng wth people," ponted out Prof. Roger Retberg, professor of musc. "I'm not sure I can apply what I've learned n the program drectly to musc., But concernng lstenng sklls and gettng people motvated these are problems we face n the classroom, and what busnsss faces too." "I became nvolved n the workshop," stated Dr. Jentz, "because t struck me as a natural nterest, gven the fact that I offer a senor semnar n busness ethcs. I don't lke the knd of ethcal theorzng that operates n a vacuum or deals wth abstracton t's not realty." The relatonshp between busness and academe s a lttle-explored regon of communcaton. Dr. Barre Rchardson has tapped ths regon and s elated wth the results: "In over 20 years of my nvolvement n hgher educaton ths has been one of the most rewardng two weeks I've ever had f for no other reason than that everyone read all the materal!"

9 8 alumn profle NEWS FROM HOPE COLLEGE, AUGUST 1981 \! Guarded Expectatj by Eleen Beyer "Only the educated are free." Epctetus They never host a parent-teacher conference. They never chaperone a school dance. They never roust out cgarette smokers from the school washrooms. They work year-round. They are pad well. Ther day may or may not begn wth a shakedown. Ella Van Faasen '64 Von Ins and Dck Mezeske '69 are teachers n the pre General Educaton Dploma program at Mchgan Dunes Correctonal Faclty, a state prson for young men located n a former Catholc boys school just outsde Saugatuck, Mch. Von Ins, a slght, softspoken woman whose overall mage of fralty s cut by an underlyng tone of quet determnaton, teaches Englsh, readng and math to prson resdents whose competency s at approxmately the 6th through 9th grade level. Mezeske, tall and slender wth a slghtly booksh look, teaches basc readng sklls to resdents who are below 6th grade level. Von Ins has taught at the prson snce t opened three years ago. Mezeske joned the staff the followng year. What makes ther teachng stuaton most dfferent from that of other purveyors of learnng s the fact that they are offered almost none of the professonal rewards normally assocated wth teachng. "The real dfference for me s that these men my students are not my frends and never wll be," says Von Ins. "We're not encouraged (by prson offcals) to get close to our students. And even f those restrants were absent, t would be dffcult to form frendshps. Many have emotonal defcts. Moreover, ther socetal background s totally dfferent from the nteracton they're expected to carry on wth us. We've got our sdes drawn up rather clearly, you see. We're part of that prson establshment n ther eyes and they're not wllng to reveal anythng of ther own person to us as a result. And then, added to all of ths s the fact that those few people that staff members have gotten close to usually have let them down n some way " Seemngly dened all the potental rewards of one-to-one, student-teacher relatonshps, Von Ins and Mezeske also have few opportuntes for creatve teachng, at least not n the normally accepted sense of the term. The pre- GED program s competency based nstructon. All the core materals are standardzed by state offcals for use n Mchgan state prsons. Everythng s programmed and set up on modules. The students progress through the modules at ther own pace and ther completed work s corrected on the spot. Although prson teachers are gven some lattude n settng up ther courses, once that plannng s completed there s no day-today preparaton.

Mezeske agrees. "It's so repettve that t forces you to be creatve n the applcaton of the materals just so you don't go bonkers. I wouldn't call t creatve teachng, but, at the same tme, t really tests your nventveness to... be: get through to some of these fellows. The largest majorty of Mezeske's pupls are t 1 the 3rd and 4th grade level. Many have troubk : l- puttng words together nto sentences and readng phabet. newspapers.

Frequent transfers and releases make fora constantly shftng student body. It s mpossble «/ I for the prson teachers to keep tabs on a student's j progress once he has left the Dunes faclty., J They Thpv do dn know that the number of students n three years who have completed the entre pro- \ gram and earned ther hgh school equvalent dploma can be numbered on one hand. The vast majorty of ther students, they say, are best descrbed as "reluctant learners.", 1 "And yet, t stll amazes me that they do g(f ; nvolved n t, " Von Ins adds. "They come n dav after day and work up to sx hours on somethng New Form Of Con Artstry For many of them, con artstry was a way of gettng by n the world. Now, separated from socety by the fences and doors and locks of the Mchgan Dunes Correctonal Faclty, 15 men have learned to "put one over" an audence, to act out parts n a play whch they beleve presents some of the basc realtes of ther lves. Drected by Deborah Noe 71 Schakel, these prson resdents presented n July an orgnal play, "Learnng to De," wrtten by a resdent of the three-year-old medum securty prson. "Learnng to De" presents the experences of a young black man, short on cash and long on oblgatons, who, wth a partner, robs a busness and klls ts owner n the process. The play relates hs subsequent experences wth the State of Mchgan judcal system and ts correctonal facltes, leadng up to hs fnal "reform." The play's audence was made up of prson resdents and nvted guests. "It really s ther play," says Schakel, who drected the prson actors under a grant from the Mchgan Councl for the Arts. "It's a play about ther realty and how they perceve t. One of the resdents n the play ponted out to me that for many young black men who lve n some places, t's almost certan that ether someone they know well or they themselves eventually wll be sent to prson. The play s about that knd of realty What you have s just ths over- As an artst-n-resdence, Schakel vsted the Mchgan Dunes faclty several tmes a week for four months, conductng mprovsatonal theatre workshops and rehearsng the play. Although "Learnng to De" s rddled wth street language, Schakel says she fnds t to be a very moral play because t reaffrms, from the voce of experence, that old but often challenged adage, Crme doesn't pay. Prson theatre was a bg step for Schakel, whose resume ncludes a heavy dose of chldren's theatre. She's currently teachng an ntroductory course n theatre to Hope students. She says her work at the prson has reenforced an dea she often presents n her classroom lectures : Theatre can't change the world, just the way you look at the world. Schakel was partcularly nterested n the mprovsatonal workshops she conducted, work she hopes to contnue. An experment whch she felt worked especally well was a sound collage n whch the actors pulled together thngs they remembered hearng from chldhood. An observer of one sesson noted that Schakel really was workng wth the nmates' feelngs and probably reachng otherwse hdden emotons. Because. Schakel beleves that "theatre s a place where you can say thngs you can't say anywhere else," she acknowledges that t mght have been somewhat rehabltatve for the prson resdents be rehabltatve for everyone workng wth t, not just resdents of nsttutons, but everyone." For Schakel herself, work at the prson has'] - been rehabltatve n that t has meant a return l to makng theatre happen, rather than just lecturng about t. "I've been dong theatre for a long tme," says the former Hope wnter and summer season actress, "but lately t's been mostly classroom work. At the prson I ve ds { covered agan that theatre s exctng I walk nto the room where we rehearse, and they re tryng out the musc and everybody s really up, and there s ths feelng that somethng s gong to happen "The performers are dfferent from me n jus^ aboutevery udou way possble: possoc; mey they're cuw., men.

Although both say they don't work under fear, not even durng the rots whch occurred at several other Mchgan prsons ths past Memoral Day weekend, they both admt there's a certan tenson always present. Mezeske laughs now about the furous case of hves he broke out wth the evenng followng hs frst day of tranng. ("I wasn't used to walkng down the hall and havng some guy whstle at me.

Both readly pont to results of ther hgher educaton at Hope whch have contrbuted to ther ablty to perform n the very demandng spot of the prson classroom. "I ddn't come out of Hope a specalst.

Yet, wthn that lmtng framework, they do beleve there are some mportant lessons they can brng to ther students.

It's nce to be workng together on somethng. You don't have a lot of chances to do that n an nsttuton." The playwrght, Arthur Lee Hamlton, wrote most of the scrpt n a sngle nght, sprawled out on the bathroom floor, the only place n the prson where the lghts stay on all nght. Hs scrpt was fleshed out wth work that had emerged from the workshops and orgnal musc was composed by some prson muscans. Hamlton says, "It's been exctng to see my play come to lfe.

11 The Myers Touch Turns Ideas nto Prnt by Deb Hall '80 In hs essay Notes on Connecton, desgn crtc Ralph Kaplan observes that makng connectons s the bass of poetry, nventon, crme detecton, and ar travel." After spendng several hours talkng wth Davd Myers t becomes evdent that hs lfe s based on a seres of somewhat unusual connectons. At age 16 Myers was a buddng young nsurance clerk n hs famly's busness. He was also the youngest lcensed salesman n the state of Washngton. (Myers never sold a polcy, but up untl a few years ago, hs father regularly renewed hs son's lcense.) At Whtworth College, Myers was a pre-med chemstry major. He took the medcal school admsson test, but never maled n hs med school applcatons. Instead, he took several psy- - chology courses hs senor year and, subsequently, enrolled at the Unversty of Iowa where he earned a master's and a doctorate n socal psychology. He decded he wanted to teach, and teach he dd, arrvngat Hope College n To make a long story short, the nsurance derk, pre-med student, sodal psychologst, and teacher s now also a wrter. And there's no hestaton n the quck voce that states, "I've enjoyed wrtng as much as anythng else n my career." Durng the last fve years, Myers has authored two books. The Human Puzzle: Psychologcal Research and Chrstan Belef (1978), whch wll soon appear n a Chnese edton, and The Inflated Self: Human Illusons and the Bblcal Call to Hope (1980), whch earler ths month appeared n a paperback edton. For the last two years, most of Myers' energy has been channelled nto wrtng a sodal psychology textbook for McGraw-Hll, scheduled for producton ths fall. Artcles based on materal from hs books and -.other sources have been publshed n Psychology Today, Saturday Revew, Chrstan Century, Chrstanty Today, Scence Dgest, Amercan Scentst and Today's Educaton. Deb Hall was a News from Hope College wrtng 'assstant durng her student days and s now employed as a wrter at Herman Mller,, Inc. of 7 oxal A It mght seem that Myers' career began by acddent. In fact, t was a matter of makng the rght connectons, or beng n the rght place at the rght tme. Because of hs research on group nfluence, for whch he won the Gordon Allport Intergroup Relatons Prze, and about whch he has lectured at Yale, Harvard and elsewhere, he was nvted to do a seres of lectures as part of a faculty development program for eght churchrelated Colleges. As Myers explaned t, anyone who s gven a challenge lke ths along wth a bundle of money and a year and a half to wrte the lectures wll fnd a way to wrte the lectures. That was all the push that was needed. "I enjoyed wrtng those and t started a new professonal dmenson as a wrter," he says. Although Myers says that sodal psychologsts are prmarly nvolved n research, he has spent less tme n the lab snce he began wrtng. "I have been more of a sdence wrter," he says, "takng thngs that are especally nterestng to me and my dsrplne of sodal psychology and askng how they connect wth everyday concerns, or what they tell us about human nature. " More predsely, Myers' man concerns are connectng the fndngs of sodal psychologcal research wth bblcal and theologcal deas about human nature. Themes prevalent n sodal psychology love ard hate, conflct and peace, prejudce and conformty, and other topcs nherent to human exstance run through hs wrtng wth a subtle Chrstan perspectve added. Hs work s nterconnected so that artcles evolve out of hs books. Just as easly, artcles are folded nto books, espedally the textbook. For example, the artcle whch appears on page 11 of News from the College dscusses how people form false belefs. Ths s condensed from The Inflated Self, and, n turn, wll be re-expanded n the textbook. "We do dfferent permutatons on the same deas," he explans. "If you had to count the number of ndependent deas on whch I've wrtten, there may actually be only a half dozen." In hs desre to make connectons between dfferng dscplnes, Myers says he's become somewhat of an ntellectual paraste at Hope College. He quckly rectes the names of a host of faculty members and departments he has frequently called on for nformaton and advce. In on the name of Jack Rdl, assstant professor of Englsh. "When t comes to wrtng you mght say that I'm Elza Doolttle and Jack s my Henry Hggns," he.says. The close relatonshp between the two wrters s evdent n Myers' voce and eyes as he searches for the rght words to relate the tale of ther frst co-effort. Myers wrote a pece that appeared n Human Nature. He was then asked by ts edtors to wrte a lght artcle on a related subject. Myers understood what the edtors wanted, but ddn't know qute how to create t. On the other sde of campus n the Englsh department, Rdl was producng wtty memos as well as hs own publshed wrtng. Myers went to Rdl n hopes of mergng the Rdl wt wth the Myers content. The resultng pece "Can We All Be Better Than Average?" found ts way nto Psychology Today. The assocaton has gone beyond that orgnal purpose as Myers and Rdl have collaborated on several artcles. Beyond that, Rdl has become Myers' rght hand on some other compostons, ncludng edtng the entre textbook. Whle leafng through a transcrpt of the last chapter of the textbook, Myers chuckled and, pontng out many nk scrbblngs n the margns, sad that when Rdl gets wound up he can have as many notes n the margn as there are words on the page. "Hs senstvty far exceeds my own," says Myers. "He can tell me how ths s gong to make a reader feel. After he says t I can see t, but often I just can't sense t or feel t untl he ponts t out to me. He s so affrmng n the way he does t. It's just very easy to take from hm." The two wrters have a rapport that encompasses the bounds of senstvty. Myers says that each exposes a lot of hmself to the other. "The relatonshp has been very satsfyng for me," says Myers. "From what he says t's been gratfyng for hm too." Myers s stll somewhat amazed over hs new-found career. He says he's astonshed to hear hmself say that he loves "sttng at the typewrter" or "the art of craftng a sentence." All ths s from a person who would have placed beng a wrter at the top of a "least lkely to be" lst. glsh was my worst subject. My wfe was an Englsh major n college and to ths day she, s appalled at my gnorance of the parts of speech, grammatcal constructon, and so forth," he says. As much as Myers s a wrter, he s frst of all a teacher and a sodal psychologst. Not only s hs subject matter connected n hs publshed work but hs careers are also connected, all three servng the objectves of each other. As a teacher and a wrter, Myers' reach extends outsde any classroom on Hope's campus. There's a tone of convcton as he states that he defntely doesn't want to leave teachng. Grabbng a ple of copes of hs artdes Myers says, "All the materal here s materal I have taught frst and then wrtten about." But he doesn't teach just to serve hs wrtng. In and of tself, Myers beleves that teachng s mportant n hs lfe. "Indeed, you can turn t around and say that wrtng s really a magnfcaton of my role as a teacher," he says. In fact, Myers quotes a colleague who says that "wrtng s teachng on a wder scale to a broader audence." "What I talked, about last semester wth 75 students may now be read by thousands," he says. "And to thnk, the teachng I do here mght potentally be amplfed many tmes over through ths textbook. If t succeeds, later edtons wll become "a lfetme actvty. "Now, wth ths wrtng, and espetally the wrtng of the textbook. I've read thousands of studes from A to Z n the dscplne," he says. "I thnk I know my dscplne much more comprehensvely than I dd when I was dong specalzed research." That's not to say that research ddn't have ts benefts. Some of the connectons that have led hm nto wrtng are the result of hs research. "It's terrbly exctng to thnk that n the last fve years thngs have happened that I never envsoned for myself." The rght connectons were provdentally there and the connectons were askng to be made. "It's a bg part of the joy of wrtng to read somethng and thnk, aha, that relates to that.' That's the creatvty n wrtng." Then, pausng and leanng over the table, he surmses, "I thnk what I do best and enny mnct s nmkmg_mnnacj

But after she was long gone, after hundreds of other psychc vsons had been scrutnzed, t remaned for polce work to go on, n more tradtonal ways. These psychc falures are remnscent of an earler tragc case. After Charles Lndbergh's baby was kdnapled n 1932, two Harvard psychologsts nvted people to report ther dreams concernng the whereabouts of the chld. Of the 1,300 reports receved, only four antcpated even the three basc facts: death, bpral, a wooded area. Las Vegas casnos skm off only 1.4% of money bet at the crap tables. So a psychc who could beat chance by even three percent would make the same hefty proft as the house. But the > casnos contnue to operate, showng, as always, the expected return. Is there, n all the world, a sngle psychc who can dscern the contents of a sealed envelope, move remote objects or read others' mnds? If so, magcan James Rand wll be surprsed and - poorer. For nearly 20 years, he has been offerng $10,000 to anyone who can perform just one such feat. Nearly 600 have nqured, 57 took the test. All faled. Have laboratory experments fared better? Brtsh psychologst C. E. M. Hansel typfes the skeptcsm of most research psychologsts: "Af- " ter a hundred years of research, not a sngle ndvdual has been found who can.demonstrate ESP to the satsfacton of ndependent nvestgators." Even JohnBeloff, past presdent of the Parapsychologcal Assocaton, acknowledges that "no experment showng the clear exstence of the paranormal has been consstently repeated by other nvestgators n other laboratores." A Majorty Clam Why, then, has belef n the paranormal become so normal? Why do 58 percent of Amercans clam they have "personally experenced" ESP? Vvd anecdotes are more persuasve and memorable than statstcal facts. People's mnds are swayed more by dramatc testmonals than by dry facts. For example, one recent Unversty of Mchgan study found that a sngle vvd welfare case had more mpact on opnons about welfare recpents than factual statstcs. People's belef n ESP s smlarly rooted n dramatc stores and experences. At Calforna State Unversty at Long Beach, Barry Snger and Vctor Benass had someone demonstrate a smple set of trcks desgned to smulate ESP. Even when they were forewarned that ths was a magcan who would merely "pretend to read mnds and demonstrate psychc abltes," most students were convnced the performer was psychc. People fal to recognze chance events for what they are. People beleve n ESP because they see ordnary events as hghly mprobable. Ask someone the chances that at least 2 people n a group of 30 wll have the same brthday. Most underestmate the correct answer there wll be 2 such people 70 percent of the tme. Gven the bllons of events n the world each day and the nnumerable possble parngs, some concdences are bound to occur. We all have our favorte "ncredble" concdences. Here's mne: The Kng James verson of the Bble was completed on Wllam Shakespeare's putatve fortysxth brthday. In Psalm 46, the forty-sxth word s "shake," and the forty-sxth wdrd from the end s "spear." (It s perhaps even more ncredble that someone dscovered ths!) Gven the hundreds of psychc vsons of Atlanta's chld kller a few are bound to be close. Indeed, many psychcs offer scatter-gun predctons, almost guaranteeng a few hts, whch the meda are only too happy to report. Preconceptons bas nterpretatons and memores. One of the most startlng facts about the human mnd s the extent to whch precon- False Percepton The tendency to selectvely notce, nterpret and recall events n ways that sustan our exstng deas nevtably dstorts our ntuton. Indeed, researchers have used these defcences n human ntuton to manufacture false belefs n ESP. Fred Ayeroff and Robert Abelson of Yale asked 100 students to try to transmt mentally one of fve possble symbols to another student, who would guess what was transmtted. The ESP rate proved nearly dentcal to the chance rate of 20 percent. Nevertheless, students were confdent that ESP was occurrng more than 50 percent of the tme. We yearn to beleve. Fnally, people may beleve n ESP because they want to. In the Creaton story, humanty's fall occurs when human lmts are dened rather than accepted. Today, belevers n ESP proclam our potental for godlke omnscence readng mnds, knowng the ceved notons bas the way nformaton s nterpreted and remembered. Sometmes our mnds block somethng we could readly see f only we were predsposed to perceve t. Whle readng these words, for example, you have probably been unaware untl ths moment that you were lookng at your nose. Our prejudgments can also nduce us to see and recall what we already beleve. Even when future. They tempt each of us to deny our fnteness. observng purely random events, people easly become convnced that sgnfcant relatonshps Many are also motvated by a yearnng for are occurrng when they expect to see them. mystery n an age when relgous fath has Conversely, premontons that fal are usually waned and scence may seem to demystfy exstence.

Pseudomysteres Fortunately, creaton stll contans mystery aplenty wthout our havng to nvent pseudomysteres. Physcsts descrbe strange, nonsubstantve realtes wth seemngly contradctory theores.

Hopefully, you drafted t wth your attorney. If not, the state has already done one for you wthout any regard for your desres. Not many people seem to know what a wll s alf about Natonal statstcs ndcate that over 85* of our adult populaton has no wll. You mght be surprsed to know what t means to be wthout one. NO SAY WHATSOEVER Your estate wll be dvded only among your drect hers n a manner determned by the state n whch you lve. You wll have no say whatsoever n who benefts or the amount of ther share. If you have no approprate hers or none can be found the state, tself, may actually take your estate. Fnally, there s no room n the state's plan to nclude your school, church or any other phlanthropy. MAXIMUM TAXES You wll pay maxmum taxes. Although the federal government provdes many ways to reduce your estate tax, you must have a properly constructed wll to do so. For example, one-half or more of your estate can pass tax free to your spouse, but only through a qualfed martal deducton. If you own a busness or have other holdngs of an unusual nature or value, a lack of estate plannng may cause them to be sold to meet your tax oblgaton rather than pass on to your famly. Even property held n "jont ownershp s not nsurance aganst maxmum taxaton. If you have an estate plan, t's a good tme for a revew. Every wll must be updated to reflect changng personal crcumstances. Make sure you are current n carng for your famly. Make sure you are mnmzng your estate tax. Consder provdng for your other nterests ncludng Hope College. Surprsngly, the rght knd of bequest can substantally reduce your estate tax, provde a lfetme ncome for your spouse or other hers and make a meanngful contrbuton to Hope all at the same tme. Why not check t out? THROW MONEY AWAY? Few of us would throw our money away on purpose. But that s just what a person s dong who has no competent, up-to-date estate plan. You need your wll to do t your way. You need the rght plan to do t the best way. The Offce of Planned Gvng would be pleased to assst you and your attorney to evaluate the advantages of phlanthropy to your estate plan. Gve us a call or wrte for nformaton to: John H. Greller Drector of Planned Gvng Hope College Holland, Ml , Ext 2040 Please send me n confdence and wthout oblgaton: Mekng Your Wll brochure, whch descrbes what I should know before I see my lawyer Informaton about establshng a Memoral Scholarshp Fund. 1980s Sue Sharp '80 Anker s workng on her masters n socal work at the Unversty of Mchgan.

17 Interdscplnary Group Publshes Book Four members of the Hope faculty wll soon see the fruts of ther labor appear n prnt as ther book, Inflaton, Poortalk, and the Gospel (Judson Press, paper, $4.95) s scheduled for release on Sept. 1. The book grew out of a year-long collaboratve effort by psychologsts Thomas Ludwg and Davd Myers, phlosopher Merold Westphal, and economst Robn Klay. Its geness occurred when Myers, wearyng of commseratng "poortalk" by mddle-class folk, pondered how certan prncples from psychologcal research mght explan people's economc frustratons amdst rsng affluence. He shared hs thoughts wth Ludwg, and together they organzed them nto a magazne pece. The resultng artcle ("Let's Cut the Poortalk," Saturday Revew, Oct. 28, 1978) and c< a companon pece ("How Chrstans Can Cope wth Inflaton," Chrstan Century, May 30, 1979) evoked many responses, ncludng an nvtaton from Judson Press to elaborate ther deas n a book. To expand the scope of the book beyond the psychology of nflaton, Ludwg and Myers enlsted the ad of phlosopher Westphal and economst Klay. The foursome met a number of tmes durng the academc year to formulate the book's organzaton. Last summer, asssted by a Faculty Development Grant, they drafted chapters n ther own areas of expertse, then met together to dscuss each chapter page by page, and to edt the manuscrpt to.a more unfed style. The resultng book brngs together nsghts from economcs, psychology, phlosophy, and bblcal theology to answer two questons: (1) What mpact does the current economc stuaton have upon us as ndvduals and upon our world? (2) How mght Chrstans respond n ways that are both bblcally sound and benefcal to themselves and other people? The frst secton of the book analyzes the current stuaton from economc and psychologcal perspectves. One chapter examnes the personal mpact of nflaton, whle another descrbes the state of the economy and how t got that way. A thrd chapter descrbes a number of psychologcal prncples that can combne to make one feel worse than necessary about the economc stuaton. Chrstans who ponder these economc and psychologcal forces may feel a need for personal and socetal acton. The second secton of the book offers help n choosng responsble and approprate actons. It dentfes bblcal gudelnes Profs. Klay, Ludwg, Myers and Westphal havor. on economc ssues, apples those gudelnes to atttudes, and explores ther mplcatons for be- But what about the future? The authors argue that bblcal prncples apply both n tmes of prosperty and n tmes of economc adversty. The fnal secton of the book spns out optmstc and pessmstc vsons of our economc future y and dscusses ways n whch Chrstans could lve responsbly n each of those settngs. "One of the most dffcult challenges we faced," explaned Ludwg, "was preventng the book from becomng too techncal. We wanted the book to be understandable to lay readers. Another challenge was gettng all four authors to agree on the wordng of every sentence n the book. Havng to do so trggered many sprted and stmulatng dscussons." But the authors agree that the project was worth the tme and effort. They suggest that - durng ths perod of hstory Chrstans have two reasons to be especally nformed and actve on economc matters. On the one hand, the economc pressures n socety may be workng aganst the bblcal norms of justce and charty. On the other hand, Chrstans may be n a r unque poston to serve as models of successful adaptaton to the new economc realtes. FOOTBALL FUN IN '81!!
