Today is November 6th —Friday. Tomorrow is November 7th —Saturday. Tomorrow is Nykerk.

Nykerk —it means a lot to the Sophomore women —the Sophomore class as a whole in fact. The Freshman class have a stake in the thing too, to hear them talk.

Evi Carter, Virginia Topp, Sharon Grossman, Jan Reimersma, and Judy De Ryke haven't been around all week. As interclass and class chairmen, they've been too busy.

Edna Hollander, Shelby Braaksma, Ruth DeWitt, Evalyn Hol^ lander, Leona Jansen, and Janet Hollander have spent most of their time in the music building. Freshman and Sophomore songs have to be perfected.

Judy Tysse and Ruth Vander Meulen have been coaching Judy Sietsema, Ruth Flikkema, Renetta Dykstra, Ellen Frink, and Nancy Vander Kolk —the Sophomore Play —"Jus t a Little Bit

Crazy." Arlene Cizek and Lynn Feltham are similarly wrought up

while coaching Karen Crandall, Jane Woodby, Nancy Wees, Donna Davis, and Barb Blunt who make up the cast of the Freshman Play, "Little Prison."

Betty Vicha and Barb Walvoord have been putting in the final touches for the oration. And Mary Ann Klaaren has been assist-ing Pat Vanderbeek rehearse in every spare minute.

Last minute lines have been learned, earlier stage defects and trouble areas cleared up —the plays are ready for presentation. "Little Prison" or "Just a Little Bit Crazy."

Weeks of rehearsal, harmony, sectionals, nerve stretching and tension —the result? Songs "It 's a Big Wide Wonderful World" and "Kerry Dance" in their final forms. The two will go into

competition. The orators will take possession of the stage respectively.

Each has practiced, revised, rewritten, has been advised and now will share the fruits of her labor.

And all this takes place tomorrow night at the Civic Center (8:00). We may never know which parts of the program won, but one thing we will know is — which class won.

Editorials ;

Can S. L. Week Mean Anything I suppose that on a campus which prides itself on its religious

beliefs, it is hardly the done thing for someone to discuss this matter of religious tolerance. The very term has become almost meaningless, but an examination of it, is, I think necessary.

The theme of Spiritual Life Week is "Prayer". This topic is to be discussed in its various aspects and several leading questions thrown out to the student body. This is an admirable undertak-ing, and I for one, expect to derive some benefit from the discus-sion of this facet of the religious life. ^

One of the implications of the term "Prayer", however, is the question "Who can and may pray?" After having pointed out the value of prayer, it is necessary to ask this question, if we are to derive some sort of guide by which we can evaluate the true pur-pose of prayer as applied to our own lives and the lives of others.

p i , . This is where "religious tol-KeligiOUS erance", comes in. I think a Tolerance b a s i c assumption that the people who set up such a thing as "Spiritual Life Week" make, is that in order for the students to derive benefit from a week of re-ligious examination, they must of necessity take an active part in the pre-chapel prayer groups and the many discussion sessions held on the campus. Only then, seems to be the reasoning, can the term "prayer" mean anything.

Without wanting to throw suspicion on anyone, I do wonder whether this is sound reasoning. Is it not possible that one can benefit as much from NOT attending the meetings that are to be set up, as going to them?

Is it a part of the student's growth that he or she prays with others and discusses prayer with his fellows? It seems to me that this is not a necessity.

"Go into your closet to pray" is a hackneyed term, devoid of any real meaning, but for once, it applies here. The students and faculty who organize "Spiritual Life Week" should not measure its success by the number of persons who come to the prayer meet-ings and discussion groups. The effect of such a week, is, I think, much more subtler than that and can not really be measured.

Neither should the students who DO attend the rounds of meetings look askance at those who don't. This does not mean that those who DONT are particularly less religious than those who do, or that they have no right to communicate with God. It merely suggests that there are other means of worshipping which do not lend themselves to the scrutiny of others.

• i. . i i This is what I mean when I inaiviauai attempt some definition of "re-Devofion ligious tolerance" as applied to "S.L. Week". The success of this week can only be measured by the individual student as it applies to himself, and active partici-pation in planned expressions of faith is not the criterion by which we can judge this success.

Only be realizing that each of us has his own way of com-munication with God, can we treat the coming week with a sense of objectivity as to its probable effect.

The question is not "How successful will it be?", but "Can we learn anything of prayer by looking at the others pray?" Then, if only ONE person comes to a realization of the many different means of approaching God, can we say that the week has meant something.

Letters to the Editor

Women's Rights to Select Proper Clothing Questioned

by James Michmerhuizen

Dear Anchor Editor: There has been much thought

and discussion given in refer-ence to the letter written to

Ur , . . , House Board on the matter of We remember hearing only u j i.L ^ e J bermudas among the women of

one concert - t h a t of the Vir- H o p e

tuosi di Roma here two years i t stated that the Hope Col-ago worthy of comparison lege staff has "a special re-

le Masterplayers of Lu- ) sponsibility to keep Hope at its best", but best for whom?

Are those in charge thinking of the best for Hope as fa r as those who give their support as long as their suggestions are carried out, or are they think-ing of the best for the students who have to live here, become educated here, and abide by the rules set for them ?

Can't the students even have a say in what their own attire will be?

The letter states that "just how far we should move to-wards greater laxity is the question".

Before we know it, we'll be told that we are lax in wear-ing s k i r t s and sweaters to classes instead of suits and

When we arrive back at the dorm after classes, we come back to our "Home"! A change of dress is not only more com-fortable but practical too.

If we were in our own homes we would then go about our business whether it be down-town, in the family kitchen or next door, in our casual dress. But since our college home pro-hibits n o r m a l practices, a change of dress becomes neces-sary before we go out.

Progress at Hope is handi-capped by living under regula-tions set years ago. The world and life itself are not static but rather dynamic!

The letter also stated that the decision on this matter will be made "in what is believed to be the best interest of the college".

Why is it so fa r fetched that we as adult women, a part of the college, soon ready to take our places in the ever changing society of which we are a part, cannot d e c i d e for ourselves what is best for the College and ourselves ?

We have come in from the outside modern world to Hope, and we want to stay alive, un-burdened by outdated, dictated, regulations.

the writer of the article tried to advocate. . . .

The article begins simply en-ough. "People should be toler-ant of one another." We then take a big jump to the writer's one-sided opinion: " S t u d e n t s from the midwest are not toler-ant of students from the East."

When Do We Study? Bleary-eyed and bedraggled, freshmen and sophomore women

today complete their six week endurance trial in extra-curricular activities while carrying a full academic load.

The first two weeks of this semester found these Amazon creatures attending Pull practices to serve as morale girls. The next week the frosh women diligently worked on house decorations while soph women arduously constructed floats.

The last three weeks found the frosh and sophs both working on Nykerk, Sophs were also serving out their initiation time as Sorority pledges. q_ # The answer to this old prob-

lem need not be discontinuing Solution these traditional activities. By simply rescheduling some of these events in the school year, the women of these two classes would gain more free time.

By taking Nykerk and placing it on the day of the Pull, much of the strain of extra-curricular activities could be reduced. Prac-tice for Nykerk would be during the easier part of the semester. And, the frosh-soph rivalry could be decided the same day. Also, the huge task of aiding freshmen in becoming acquainted with each other would be easier.

And following homecoming, freshmen as well as sophomore women might actually have time to buckle down and study.

—N. B.

tery of their respective instru-ments.

Z s i g m o n d y in particular brought to the Genzmer concer-to a deeply moving interpreta-tion.

All in all, a more promising first concert of the series can hardly be imagined. This, I think, was a concert that would have been more than worth-while in a city of any size.

Y 's Word "And I tell you", said Jesus,

"Ask, and it will be given you;

seek, and you will find, knock,

and it will be opened to you.

For every one who asks re-

ceives, and he who seeks finds,

and to him who knocks it will

be opened."

It is this "intolerance" which must be objected to. I am as-suming that the writer does not have a tongue in cheek but is intent on showing what really is the case on Hope's campus.

The view expressed is one-sided and defensive. The auth-or does not take into account the fact that the "Mid-westem-er" (I use the term derisively) is just as apprehensive of what the "Easterner" thinks "living the Christian life" is as the Easterner is suspicious of what

the Midwesterner feels "living the Christian life" is.

That is, the author fails to acknowledge that "both of us" find it easy to misunderstand and distrust the honest opinions and practices of each other.

In some cases, overstatement and cynicism is permissible to demonstrate a point. In this ar-ticle, over-statement damages our respect for the intended goal.

The writer is to be compli-mented on raising and causing comment in an area of extreme importance. Much more could be said. It remains for each of us to discover what we mean when we say, "In Christ there is no East or West.'* >

Consider the plight of the foreign policy planner! No matter what policy our country may choose to adopt in any given situa-tion, the policy formulators cannot escape the inevitable criticism from foreign countries and domestic opponents.

It is only when we, as laymen, ask ourselves what we would do in a given situation that we begin to appreciate the unbelievable complexities involved in the f raming of foreign policy.

The Suez crisis of 1956 can be used as an ex-ample of what I mean. What decision would you have made had you been the Secretary of State?

We could have strongly supported Britain and France, thereby losing the friendship of virtually all of the world's newly independent nations. Or,

if we had been more vehement in denouncing Britain and France, we would undoubtedly have wrecked NATO and our whole system of European defenses.

As it was, we seem to have taken a course which really pleased nobody, and incurred for us the wrath of many.

The Hungarian uprising can be cited as another good example of a peculiar situation for which there seemed to be no reasonable solution. It would almost seem that fate had ordained that any policy which we might have adopted during these uneasy months of 1956 would be the wrong policy.

I would ask you to keep such examples as these in mind as we take a brief look at a relatively new problem confronting our government. The basis for this thorn in our flesh is old, but the thorn itself is new, and pricks us very sharply. I refer to Cuba and Cuban dictator, Fidel Castro.

Castro has called the United States by every dirty name in the books, and has accused us, directly or indirectly, of every political sin from being anti-Cuban to attempting to aid the overthrow of his regime.

During the pre-Castro era, the United States was often sharply criticized, both at home and among many Latin American circles, for supporting the Batista regime in Cuba. Yet, if we had given any indication that we were not in favor of Batista, we would have been charged with meddling in affairs which were none of our business.

When Fidel Castro's revolutionary movement took over in Cuba, we were, for the most part, in favor of the spirit and an-nounced objectives of the new Cuban order.

But Castro turned out to be much more obnoxious politically than anyone seems to have anticipated. United States public opin-ion was sharply divided over the question of justification of the mass executions of Batista "was criminals" carried out almost im-mediately af ter Castro assumed control of the Cuban government.

As revelations began to be made in this country concerning Communist influences in the Cuban government, Castro began to vociferously denounce the United States, and he has been at it, with scarcely any let-up, ever since.

Just what can our government do to face up to the problem created on our very doorstep by the bearded Cuban dictator?

Castro resents the fact that the Cuban economy is almost en-tirely supported by exports to this country, and by American capital invested in Cuban industries.

He has threatened nationalization of all Cuban industries and agriculture. This would not make Cuba at all attractive to for-eign investors, yet Castro also complains that American capital-ists are trying to sabotage his regime by not investing at rates sufficient to keep Cuba's economy sound.

• Is this logic? How are we to deal with a person of this sort? The recent episode involving the Florida-based airplane that dropped anti-Castro leaflets on Havana has touched off a new and violent wave of anti-Americanism throughout Cuba, and we seem unable to defend ourselves to the satisfaction of the Cubans.

As long as Castro has wide popular support f rom the Cuban masses, and continues to face gigantic problems of social and economic reorganization in Cuba, he will probably continue to use America as his whipping boy.

But just how fa r can we allow this to go ? If we intervene in any way in Cuba's affairs, we stand to lose whatever friendship is felt toward us throughout Latin America.

If we simply continue taking it on the chin from Castro, we stand to lose respect everywhere. To use the old cliche, "you just can't win!" The role of a leading world power is not necessarily enviable!

Weller Returns To Hope

Students and administration welcome the return of Mr. Ken-neth J. Weller as a professor in the Business Administration Department a f te r an absence of four years.

Graduating from Hope Col-lege, Mr. Weller received his A.B. in 1948. In August of 1949 he received his M.B.A. from the University of Michigan.

From the fall of 1949 until the spring of 1955, he taught for 6 years in the Business Ad-ministration Department here at Hope College. He also joined the coaching staff and became End Coach of the football team.

Receiving grants from the Danforth Foundation and the Ford Foundation, Mr. Weller returned to the University of Michigan in 1955 to work on his doctorate. He also taught one year in the Business School at Ann Arbor. Each summer he returned to Hope, to resume his post as End Coach in the two or three weeks of football prac-tice prior to the beginning of school.

Welnrich Plays Recital

Carl Weinrich, who played a recital on Thursday, Nov. 5, in Chapel at 8:15 p.m., is known among the members of his pro-fession for the unhackneyed character of his programs.

He has recorded and given many recitals of the great music of the pre-Bach period.

He is famous as a Bach player, having been mentioned by Time Magazine as one of the three greatest living inter-preters of the organ music of Bach.

At the same time, he has al-ways been a champion of mod-ern music — for example, he edited the Schonberg Varia-tions, which has been called one of the greatest contemporary works for organ.

The perfection and the im-aginative and dramatic quality of Weinrich's playing never fail to rouse the enthusiasm of his audience.

Weinrich played his recital on the four-manualed Skinner or-gan in Dimnent Chapel.

ATTENTION

ALL FACULTY MEMBERS!

Here is your chance to live more conveniently! Rarely can we offer an opportunity like this — a comfortable home only two blocks from the campus. How would you like to live within walking distance of all your college functions?

Naturally, the houses in this area are not new, but this one has been kept up-to-date and has been well-maintained. As you would expect, there is plenty of room and flexibility for convenient living. There is ample storage space, and you should find several of its unusual features most interesting.

The double garage almost seems superfluous at this close-in location. For those with progeny, all schools are near.

The price is reasonable, and it is actually very inex-pensive on a square-foot basis. The owner (who has moved to a smaller home in the area) can arrange financing if desired.

For the faculty member owning a home in some other area of the city, we remind you that among our pros-pective home buyers, some will find your home more suitable for their needs.

Opportunities like this do not come often. May we suggest you act at once. The home is available for immediate occupancy and may be viewed by appoint-ment. Phone Isaac Kouw Realty Co., EXport 2-2364.

Dutchmen Lose First; Hillsdale Wins 35-7

by Paul Armstrong Hampered by a muddy field and hindered by a powerful Hillsdale line, (averaging 205 lbs), the

Hope eleven's passing and running attack literally bogged down before 6,000 fans at Riverview

park last Saturday. The Hillsdale single wing attack, spearheaded by fullback Gary Eaerling, a last minute start-

ing choice of coach "Muddy" Waters', ground out a total of 274 yards against an unimpressive 87 for the home team.

Orange Harriers Topple "Dales", Bracing For Eventful Week

by Jack Jenner The Hope College cross-coun-

try team heads into its last and most difficult week of the sea-son tomorrow with a Saturday match at Olivet and a crucial entire MIAA league meet here Wednesday, on the crest of two successive victories.

Coach A1 VanderBush's oper-atives registered their second win in a row Saturday at the Holland American Legion Coun-try Club by downing winless Hillsdale, 43-18. This evens the Dutch league record at 3-3, cur-rently good enough for fourth place status in the MIAA fol-lowing Calvin, Kalamazoo, and Albion.

Future Plans Tomorrow's meet at Olivet

will conclude the season's dual meets for the Orange and Blue. Then, four days later, on Wed-nesday, the first MIAA all-league meet to be staged in Holland since 1951 will take place at the Legion Country Club.

That significant event will weigh approximately one-half in deciding the final league cross-country standings. Dual meet results over the past six weeks will account for the other half.

Student Support Enlisted Since this meet is all-im-

portant in determining how the Dutchmen will fare this fall and because it is an event that is staged on Hope's home course

only once every eight years (the league is comprised of eight schools and the event is circulated each year), students are strongly urged to get out to the Country Club next Wednes-day in order to support the team. The event will begin at

3:30.

In the Hillsdale meet of last Saturday, freshman "find" Fred Colvin did the trick once again by pacing the Hollanders to their win on the strength of a neat 23:28.5 first-place race.

Though Colvin has finished ahead of his t e a m m a t e s throughout the entire fall, the Hillsdale test provided him with his initial first-place finish of the season over all competi-tors.

Schut Cops Second Place Over a wet and slippery turf,

Hope Captain, Rolland "Pooch" Schut garnered out his best performance of the year by coming home second to Colvin in a 24:01.5 clocking. The Dales' Jim Munn was third at 24:02.

Other Dutchmen trailing the top trio included: Randy Men-ken (4th, 24:15), Fred Over-kamp (5th, 24:35), D a v e White (6th, 24:46), Dave Need-ham (8th, 25:29), Bruce Roe (9th, 25:44), Dave Waanders (10th, 25:52), Harry Wristers (11th, 26:02), John Murdock (12th, 26:53), and Jim Tysse (13th, 26:54).

Highly enthused Hope fans were given one of their few encouraging moments early in the game, when, aided by a pass interference penalty, the Dutch penetrated to the H i l l s d a l e twenty-five yard line.

As Paul Mack attempted a pass, Hillsdale End Jim (Jelly-bean) Reynolds knocked the ball loose, which constituted a fum-ble by official ruling, and Hills-dale recovered.

The play proved to be highly significant, as, two plays later, Fullback Everling p l o w e d through right tackle for a 46 yard run and TD, giving Hills-dale first blood, as well as a lead that was not seriously threatened throughout the re-mainder of the game.

In the second half, a Hillsdale linesman pounced upon what again had all the earmarks of an incompleted forward pass, but to the dismay of the crowd was again ruled a fumble.

This a l s o set up another Hillsdale d r i v e , climaxed by Quarterback Chuck Redding's toss to Jerry Taylor in the end zone.

The Dales tallied three more times in the final period, adding to what was already a dismal day for the Holland crowd, the largest to witness a game in many years at Riverview Park.

The only bright spot for the Orange and Blue came in the fourth quarter when Hope's Jerry Hendrickson circled right end on a double reverse, a play which has been used with con-siderable success in past games, but had not been used thus far in the afternoon.

Although a hazardous play on slippery ground, it was never-the-less an effective one, as Hendrickson raced 21 yards down the sideline for Hope's first and only touchdown.

Although it was of little con-sequence to the outcome of the contest, and of little consolation to Coach Russ DeVette and his team, the score marked Coach DeVette's 41st consecutive game without a shut-out.

Bill Huibregtse kicked the PAT.

The loss virtually destroyed Hope's chances for an M.I.A.A. championship, a s title-bound Hillsdale, the school of the athletic scholarship, has only a weak Kalamazoo team remain-ing in the schedule.

The "Flying Dutchmen" have one remaining league game, this Saturday at Olivet.
