Richard Baggett Deals, Ph.D. , directorof interfaith activities of the Fellowship of Reconciliation ofNyack, N.Y., andaboard member of the A.J. Muste Memorial Insti- tute, visited Hope to focus attention on personal responsesto governmental issues related to social justice and world peace. “Cory Aquino did the impossible,” said Deals. “She won the election without any media support in the Philippines and took over the government with a reasonable amount of nonviolence. She called the people to a nonviolentstruggle to democracy. Thousands of people stood between Aquino forces and Marcos forces; bus companies filled the streets with buses so tanks could not get through; and citizens placed flowers in the Marcos troops’ gun barrels. In all of this,' a remarkable degree of national unity, a remarkable degree of 'nonviolence, and little bloodshed took place under Aquino’s advicing.” The A.J. Muste Peace Lectureship was inauguratedlast year at Hope as an annual event to honor the late A.J. Muste (1885- 1967), who graduated from Hope in 1905.

¥ Thile the construction of the new Van V T Wylen library has commanded the most attention in The Campaign for Hope these past few months, its other major and equally importantobjective is reaching greater visibility also. More than half of the $26 million goal for The Campaign for Hope will be directed to the endowment fund. Of the $14 million designated for endowment, an estimated four million dollars will create scholarships which allow the college to attract talented students regardless of their ability to pay. “In the long run, scholarship assistance for deserving students will have a greater impact on the overall quality of the students who are attracted to Hope,” said John Nordstrom, director of The Campaign for Hope. The Campaign has already had tremendous impact upon the endowed scholarship program. Since the Campaign began, 32 new scholarships have been established, an increase of 26 percent. These new funds represent contributions from individuals, corporations and foundations. “In the future, when fully funded, these scholarships will be generating thousands and thousands of dollars for student financial aid. That’s impact!,” said John Greller, director of planned giving. Endowed scholarships are awarded to students on the basis of financialneed. Since 65 percent of the Hope student body receives need-based financial aid, it is obvious that securing funds for such scholarships has become vital. The amount of aid which these $4 million scholarship funds generate makes it possible for students to come to Hope who might not be able to otherwise. ‘To establish an endowed scholarship,” $2 million Greller stated, “donors transferassets to the THE SCHOLAR AND THE HONORED: Jean De Koekkoek, seated right, is the recipient of the college with the understandingthat these Herm and Flora Laug Endowed Scholarship.The Laug Scholarship was created by alumni and funds will be permanently invested and the friends and named in their honor. income used to provide an annual scholarship The current recipientof the Laug scholar- and Blue.
