Hope Debaters Attend State Novice Tourney

Last Tuesday night, Hope Col-lege debaters staged a debate for the Fellowship Class of Third Re-formed Church. The question de-bated was the advisability of hav-ing a fair employment practices act on a national scale. Taking the affirmative were William Latham, Bayside, N.Y. and Munther Gas-peer of Lebanon. T h u r m Ryn-brandt and Robert Rieske of Grand Rapids upheld the negative. Jeni-son's Barbara Lowing introduced the speakers and acted as modera-tor, while Nell Salm of Somer-ville, N.J., kept the debaters within time limits.

Job Equality Discussed •

On Friday, November 21, Hope College students took part in a discussion of "Freedom and Equal-ity in Employment" at Albion Col-lege. A number of experts on the subject of discrimination took part Among them were representatives of the UAW - CIO, the Anti-De-famation League of B'nai B'rith, Michigan Manufacturers Associa-tion, and the Bureau of Govern-mental Research of Michig'an State C o l l e g e . Representatives Wade Van Valkenburg of K a l a m a z o o represented the point of view of a legislator. Students were given the opportunity to interrogate t h e experts.

The following day, Saturday, November 22, the students partici-pated in the State Novice Debate Tournament which was also held at Albion College. They debated the proposition: Resolved that the Federal Government Enact a Fair Employment Practices Law.

Impressions Of IJIM Told by Helena Gill

Nothing, not even the National

Association of Brewery Distribu-

tors, could prevent me from at-

tending the United Nations Semi-nar for students sponsored by the National Student Council of the YMCA and the YWCA. A conven-tion of the above mentioned associ-ation delayed my train by twenty minutes, thus causing me to change from train to p l a n e in "mid-stream."

The U N grounds can truly be described as the current appeal to exotic perfumes — "out of this world." The phrase actually de-scribes this magnificent project planned by an International Board of Architects, for the U N is a part of neither New York City nor the United States. For instance, the U N has its own postal system. Furthermore, the U N Secretariat is hired on the basis of an Inter-national Civil Service.

Speakers Optimistic

It was my privilege to hear del-

egates from various countries ex-

press their views on the current

issues and also on the U N govern-mental structure 'per se.' The well-tempered, yet optimistic attitude of the speakers caused me to won-der how much free-lance interpre-tation the radio and the newspaper give to the current issues before the U N !

Dr. Nolde, Director of the Inter-national Commission of the World Council of Churches, explained the concerted afforts of this organiza-tion in relation to the UN. When there are commonly acceptable methods and commonly acceptable goals, this Protestant organization works in cooperation with other religious organizations. One of these areas was the rehabilitation of refugees.

Robinson Delivers Challenge

In my opinion, the crowning

point of the entire conference was

a stimulating talk given by a Ne-

gro Presbyterian Minister of an

East Harlem parish. Rev. Jim Rob-

inson challenged us to examine

our Christian consciences "to de-

termine what you mean to the

world and what the world means

t o you." He went on to say that

we are in a position of leader-ship never before known and yet we really have no conception of the world we are living in. "Amer-ican churches are filled with cush-ioned pews on which s o f t minded Christians sit." What to do ? ? ?

The Presbyterian Church is ar-ranging a "Junior Year Abroad in Asia" for college students. Also, the Presbyterian Church is looking for committed Christians to go to Asia for three to five year terms.

Our Christian Duty

This is fine, you say, but what can we in the status of Christian

students do right here and now. It

is our Christian duty to:

1. follow the UN news in gen-eral,

2. study the concerted efforts in our behalf a n d cooperate with these efforts,

3. strive for a sympathetic un-derstanding of attitudes of other nations,

4. work on putting our own houses in order especially in the area of discriminatory practices, and finally

5. strengthen our own convic-tions by prayer, fellowship, and searching" of the scrip-tures.

Above all, we should be ready and

willing to take risks for our Chris-

tian beliefs. "The glory of God

cannot be bought with a reduced price tag."

Page T w o HOPE COLLEGE ANCHOR

Championship Spirit This Saturday, the Hope College Dutchmen will open their

home basketball season a t the Holland Armory versus a league opponent, Alma. These league games are most im-portant for Coach John Visser and his varsity squad; and Hope fans should not be disheartened a t all by any early-season performances against the powerful Indiana cage

teams. Now the purpose of this section of the ANCHOR is not

to editorialize on sports; but a subject such as "school spirit" definitely is categorical. In the past it has been quite common to find a mediocre and taciturn crowd at Hope Col-lege sports events. There is no excuse for this segment of the Hope populace to remain in the silent shadows when the team members spend five or six days a week practicing in-dustriously for the benefit of their alma mater. It should not be asking too much for the rest of the student body to support their representatives "en masse" at all events. The idea tha t college students should be dignified at all times and not release their emotions a t a ball game, seems to lie in the minds of some people. Don't they realize it is the delight of the cheerleaders to hear their own voices drowned out in the roar of a responsive crowd?

The capacity of the Holland Armory is 1200; Hope's popu-lace registers approximately 800. With all these students, plus faculty members, and local enthusiasts present, the armory should be nearly full for every game. The condition is such for high school games; why shouldn't it be the same for our college games?

Nothing would be more grat i fying to Coach Visser and his team, the day a f t e r tomorrow, than to have a full house of cheering Hopeites confronting them. With another potential championship team at Hope this year, the least we can do is to exhibit a championship cheering section. Let 's go; it 's our duty. — R.J.V.

Let Down It is a singularly f rus t ra t ing and discouraging experience

to edit an issue of the ANCHOR. To the traditional blood, sweat and tears has been added the disillusionment in re-gard to the dependability of many people connected with this bi-weekly journalistic effort. If this lack of responsibility were peculiar to journalists, one might be led to believe that the faul t lies with the ANCHOR as an organization. How-ever, a glance a t society and club functionings shows simi-lar characteristics. Then perhaps this tendency to "let peo-ple down" would seem to be a prevalent Hope student dis-ease.

Anyone will probably willingly admit that it would be no fun to find himself suddenly and unavoidably responsible for editing a newspaper. The prospect might even be terr i fying if the individual had had a minimum of editorial experience and no one to turn to for advice. One would expect the staff to pitch in and lend a hand in the emergency. At least it would maintain previous standards of productivity. There are some writers who do, but the others are enougli to turn an editor gray and give him a nervous twitch. Imagine as-signing an article on Wednesday. The reporter is reminded on Friday and gives the editor complete assurance that the article will be in Saturday. Saturday and Sunday pass. No article. No notice that the article will not be forthcoming, so tha t it may be reassigned. Nothing!

Sometimes a person might lose faith in human nature if it were not for a few dependable workers who consistently ful-fill their promises. The development of responsibility should be one of the aims of a liberal ar ts education. One wonders! Can it really be that if one wants anything done right (or at all!), he must do it himself? —V.S .

Educational Anesthesia... The Cavalier Daily, University of Virginia, has finally fig-

ured out the definition of education. Says the Daily: "We have been sitting around this University, man and

boy, for over five years and we have finally decided that an education is a process of deadening one end in order to liven up the other."

Y.W.C.A. ,

On December 9th, the Y.W.C.A. is having their annual drive to collect and wrap toys for less for tunate children. All the busy workers will be rewarded with coffee and cookies!

Something new has been added that will necessitate your support! The YM and the YW plan to bring a bit of Christ-mas cheer by caroling to the shut-ins and the old people of the community. Please meet in f ron t of Durfee Hall, Sunday evening, December 14th a t 9 P.M. All girls participating in the caroling may have 10:30 permission.

Y.M.C.A.

The Hope College YMCA will be host next week to the ret ir ing Secretary of the Mich. State Student YMCA, Jack Petherbridge. Mr. Petherbridge will be on our campus Tues-day, December 9 and Wednesday, December 10. With him will be the new secretary, Mr. Cliff Drury. The men are here to observe how our Y's are run and to speak at the meeting next Tuesday evening. Any students who would like to speak with Mr. Petherbridge during his stay may do so. He will be staying at the Lubbers home.

In January, the YM plans to take a t r ip to Grand Rapids to visit the synagogue there. Bob Spencer, vice-president of Y is making the arrangements.

"Poor Freda — You should'a been here yesterday when he lectured on Joan of Arc."

What are you doing young man? Are you so earnest, so given up to l i terature, science, ar t ,

amours? These ostensible realities, politics, points? Your ambition or business whatever it may be? It is well — against such I say not a word, I am their poet

also. But behold! such swiftly subside, burnt up for religion's

sake. For not all matter is fuel to heat, impalpable flame, the

essential life of the earth, Any more than such are to religion.

Dear Ghimsey,

I 'm brea th less ! I jus t discovered

the s t r a n g e s t phenomenon on t h a t

obscure p l a n e t , E A R T H . As I

t r a in my one eye on the rose-col-

ored lense of my pocket r ada r -scope, one pa r t i cu la r spot seems

ou ts tand ing . I a d j u s t my 'scope

tc super-a tomic power, and this is

wha t comes into view.

Among the red-brick skyscrap-ers , tall steel s t ruc tu res pro t rude .

As this puzzles me, I call to sev-

eral of my colleagues, and by put -

t ing our pointed heads toge ther ,

wc d raw the conclusion t h a t th is is the ins t i tu t ion known as Hope

College. W h a t a busy metropol is

it is! Count less hundreds of heli-

copters f o r m innumerable t ra f f ic j a m s as the Hopei tes scur ry be-

tween classes to the many build-

ings. Becoming avidly in teres ted in

the curr iculum, I decide to invest i-

ga t e a l i t t le more. The classes, I learn, a r e very difficult, and each

s tudent c a r r i e s m a n y c r e d i t s ,

somet imes as many as f o u r or five.

As the first hour s t a r t s a t 1 p.m., it is necessary to r ise ear ly ,

the though t of which makes me

shudder f r o m the t ip of my green

ha i r clear down to my webbed f ee t . The l a s t h o u r i s o v e r a t 3:15

p.m., which means tha t it is a long, hurd day fo r everyone. However ,

I under s t and t h a t it is possible to

a r r a n g e o n e ' s s c h e d u l e to in-clude many f r e e hours . This is

encouraging. Whipping my x- ray radar -scope

into position, and looking into the

r e d b r i c k s k y s c r a p e r s , a mos t m a g n i f i c i e n t s c e n e g r e e t s m y

s ta r t led eye. Why, th is mus t be the gi r ls ' dorm, but it looks more

like the palace of nobili ty. Each gir l has two rooms, a lounge and

s tudy, and a bedroom. Insta l led

in the cei l ing above each bed is a television set , so t h a t i t is possible

to lie in bed and watch television. Each room is also equipped wi th a

telephone and a n e l e c t r i c bed-maker and room-sweeper .

Now, as e v e r y t h i n g e l s e on campus looks ideal, I think I'll delve into the typical social l i fe on a Friday night. A s the Hope girls' curfew is early, say three or four a.m., their dates sometimes call for them as early as 10 p.m.

Kappa Delta Plans Projects for Xmas, Near Future

Chr i s tmas p lans h ighl ighted a

recent business meet ing of Kappa

Delta. Two pro jec t s will be under-

taken by the g roup du r ing . th is

holiday season. The g i r l s will go

Chr i s tmas carol ing a t the Holland

hospital j u s t before Hope 's vaca-

tion begins . They also plan to

send a box of toys to the City

Mission which will be dis t r ibuted

to the Sunday School chi ldren.

A t the N o v e m b e r meeting' a

panel discussion was presented on the topic of the qualif ications nec-

essary f o r g i r l s en t e r ing Chris t ian

service. M e m b e r s of t h e panel

were Mar i lyn Spackman , s u m m e r

church s e c r e t a r y ; Ann Willig, sum-

mer miss ionary in Puer to Rico;

Vivian Demare s t , counselor a t a s u m m e r camp fo r underpr ivi leged

chi ldren; a n d E m i l y V i n s t r a ,

nurses-a id a t the Chr is t ian Sana-tor ium.

Each yea r the club works on a mission pro jec t . This yea r the

members of Kappa Del ta will help

the needy in India or in Kentucky.

Another f u t u r e p ro jec t of the so-

ciety is to be provid ing Chris t ian fel lowship f o r the people confined

to their beds in the var ious con-

valescent homes of Holland and vi-cinity. .

The s o c i a l l i f e is not ex t raor -dinary. A usual F r iday amounts

to no more than th i s : a leisurely j a u n t to Chicago f o r dinner . Grand

Rapids f o r a s h o w , a n d home

again. A t th i s point , more s t r a n g e

th ings occur : the re seems to be hundreds of hel icopters hover ing

on 10th S t r ee t between College and Columbia Avenues . Then, all

of a sudden, the l igh t s flicker, and the g i r l s ru sh en masse to the

door. Th i s seems to be the end of an o rd ina ry d a y a t Hope.

So, Ghimsey, I thought that you might be interested in traveling to EARTH and enrolling in Hope College. We will be leaving tomor-row at 00 o'clock. See you.

Love, your friend Nausicaa P.S.- Don't forge t your teddy bear, because to football players at Hope,

everyday is kid's day.

NewshouncTs Boneyard Love is sweeping the country, but this is nothing com-

pared to the latest poll which is sweeping the campus. The nature of this probe into the private lives of s tudents is very commonplace, yet its originators venture to s ta te tha t no such query has ever before been made. According to the latest tabulations, bobby sox are more popular than ever, especially with the men, who are so at tached to their favor-ite footwear, tha t they can barely pa r t with them long

enough to wash them . . . Anyone passing the Knick House during the evening can

hear the sweet strains of instrumental melody attributable to that wonderful group of Arcadian and Knickerbocker musicians. The boys have worked out a repertoire of soft, sentimental numbers but their dixieland and jazz are really out of this world . . .

In this day and age of abbreviations, even Hope has not escaped the demands for brevity. In case an "ah Ha!" and a raised eyebrow are accompanied by the letters N.C.O.C., may the authorit ies be assured tha t no secret society is giving the password. This alphabetical combination merely means a "new couple on campus." Lest the N.C.O.C.'s forget , may all be informed that H.H.O.C. (Holding hands on cam-pus) is still considered N.G. (no good). Of course those who so consider it probably aren ' t half of a N.C.O.C. and the only H. they can H.O.C. is their own.

Basketball, Tennis, and Track Conclude MIAA Life Story

Part II

By Ronald Bos

So much for football competition in the MIAA, we now tu rn back through the history book to the pages concerning the "hardwoods" and a glance a t the basketball pas t of the MIAA. Basketball was introduced to the MIAA colleges shortly before the t u rn of the century, but it was not until the season of 1910-11 tha t the association took steps in nam-ing an officially recognized champion. Much of the early history of the association's basketball picture can be summed up in one word — Kalamazoo — fo r it was in 1923 t ha t the H o r n e t s se t a na t iona l r ecord f o r

Publications Board Aim And Functions Outlined

The idea of having a Student Publications Board is not a new one. As early as last April Dr. Lubbers and Dr. Hol-lenbach, represent ing the adminis t ra t ion and faculty, Gor-don DePree and Guy Vander Jagt , act ing fo r the student council, and Don Prentice and Verlaine Siter representing the campus publications, were meeting to draw up the plans for this p rogram.

Board's Object The object of this Board is to

set up consistent policies for cam-pus publications and to set a re-liable s tandard f o r choosing the editors and m a j o r s ta f f members.

The funct ions of the board are five-fold. They a r e :

1. To select or approve the selec-tion of the edi tors and major s taf f members of the various student publications. The follow-ing s p e c i f i c recommendations are the present thinking of the Executive Committee. The board itself may amend these pro-posals if it is necessary.

a. For The Anchor, the board will appoint the editor, acting upon recommendations from from the senior members of the re t i r ing staff . It will re-view and approve the appoint-

ments of the editor to the m a j o r staff positions.

b. For the Milestone, the board will approve the election of the editor by the Junior Class, and subsequently review and approve the appointments of the editor to the major staff positions.

c. For The Sampler , the board will appoint the editor, acting

upon recommendations from the Engl ish staff and the senior members of the retir-ing staff . I t will review and approve the appointments of

the editor to the m a j o r staff positions.

d. For the F reshman Handbook (now contemplated) , the board will select the editor and re-view and approve the staff recommended by the editor.

2. To act as the board of review in all m a j o r problems of policy of these publications.

3. To prepare a budget request for the t r ea su re r of the College and to apport ion the funds alloted in the college budget for stu-dent publications.

4. To serve as a sounding board, repor t ing to the editors the pulse of the college community, and giving the i r reactions to the ideas and suggest ions of the editors and m a t t e r s below the level of m a j o r policy decisions.

5. To t e rmina te the appointment of an editor or staff member, fo r j u s t cause, and to appoint a successor.

Personnel Selection Four main principles have been

established in determining the per-sonnel on the board and recom-mendations have been made on how to choose them. They are: 1. To secure responsible citizens

of t h e c o l l e g e c o m m u n i t y , vitally concerned about the wel-fare of the college in all of its relationships, as they concern students, faculty, alumni, and church.

2. To secure as adequate a cross section of the college commu-nity as possible, one responsive to the needs of the various seg-ments of the community and sensitive to the implications of the policies of the publications.

Christ, The World's Hope Once again the joyous yet solemn Advent season is with

us. This year, with the black clouds of despair breaking all around us, we need more than ever to realize the full mean-ing of Christmas. Not only in our time, but throughout the ages, the birth of the Christ-child has brought a message of hope to a weary world.

Chin (max — IMd.J I heard the helU on Christmds Day Their old, familiar carol* play,

And wild and sweet The words repeat

Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

I thought how as the day IkuI come, The belfries of all Christendom

Had rolled along The unbroken song

Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

Then from each black, accursed mouth The cannon thundered in the South,

And with the sound The carols drowned

Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

II ivas as if an earthquake rent The hearthstones of a continent.

And made forlorn The households bom

Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

And in despair I bowed my head; "There is no peace on earth," I said,

"For hate is strong. Ami mocks the song

Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep: "God is not dead; nor doth he sleep!

The Wrong shall fail, The Right prevail.

With peace on earth, good-will to men!" - -

— Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Holiday Wish Holds Note Of Caution For Motorists

J u s t a week before Chris tmas!

The days before vacation here at

school have been as crammed with

fun and activity as I hope your

sock will be with g i f t s on Christ-mas morning. Soon there will be only memories le f t of the lighted trees twinkling f rom the dormitory and f r a t e r n i t y house windows, of the Sunday af te rnoon vespers in the chapel, of the fami l ia r s t ra ins of Handel 's "Messiah," and of the gaiety and laughter at the all-college Chr is tmas pa r ty .

During* all the fes t ivi ty , permeat -ing our minds like the scent of pine, has been the looking-forward to once more being a t home with fami ly and fr iends. Your wish to be a t home is my wish for you too, a wish t h a t is accompanied with a hope t h a t you may have a sa fe ar-rival. A hope t h a t there may be no homes in which the Chr is tmas t ree will seem a less br ighter green than usual . . . . because someone fel l asleep a t the wheel; t h a t there will be no homes in which the gay l ights will be blurred wi th t ea r s . . . . because someone risked pass ing a car going uphill or approaching a curve; that there will be no homes in which the tin-sel will reflect sorrow instead of joy . . . . because someone drove too fast on icy roads.

My wish for ytfu is that you may arrive safely home to enjoy the season of "Peace on earth, good will to men."

Page T w o HOPE COLLEGE ANCHOR

Democracy At Work Two weeks ago a t the conclusion of the daily morning

chapel service, the administration introduced a proposal to extend the school year an extra week in June, and give the students the opportunity to decide which vacation period they would like lengthened. However, the proposal was met with unforeseen opposition by the student body and early the next week it was decided to consider all the facts a t a meeting of the student council executive board. C o n s e q u e n t l y , last Thursday the announcement was made in Chapel tha t stu-dent opinion had expressed the desire to have school close the first week in June as it has in the past. And so it was.

This incident provides a living example of the cooperation which exists between the students and administration on the Hope campus; and it shows that "democracy" is not jus t a name, but an actual entity a t Hope College.

The manner in which the situation was handled by both students and administration was certainly creditable. Ma-tureness of mind and sound reasoning prevailed throughout the entire discussion of the problem. The students met the situation calmly, but with firm resolution, stat ing that pro-curing good summer jobs would be made almost impossible because of the action; and the administration was enlight-ened by a point of view which it apparently had overlooked in previous consideration. The decision was reached in full appreciation of the dominant desire of the student body as "an organized whole".

There was no evidence, however, of revolution or mob up-heaval which is frequently seen on other college campuses throughout our country. No publicity is ever given to the type of incident which our campus witnessed; but it should be, fo r it is something of which both the students and ad-ministration of Hope College can very well be proud. Let's hope tha t f ree expression and acknowledgement of opinion at Hope will continue for many years to come.

Suckers? . Are C h r i s t i a n s s u c k e r s ?

A good many people think so and p r o b a b l y m a n y Chris-t ians wonder themselves. The person in the impersonal New York shoppers ' rush who sees an accident and stops to give first aid to the injured is a sucker. He will lose weeks of work and take a cut in his pay check by being willing to tes-t i fy in court on behalf of an utter s tranger. Anyone with an ounce of sense these days would look t h e o t h e r way and hur ry f rom the scene of the accident.

Or the p e r s o n who does someone a favor or helps an-other out in time of need. There's nothing in it for him —often not even a thank you. What a fool to give his time and s u b s t a n c e , jeopardizing his own welfare perhaps, al-lowing himself to be imposed upon!

Or t h e s o f t - s p o k e n one . Why does he let people get a w a y w i t h t h a t s tuff? He ought to give an eye for an eye. Who would let himself be i l l - t r e a t e d a n d verbally abused and not flip back a bit-ing reply? " D o s o m e t h i n g about it," u r g e s t h e w o r l d , "and take care of yourself be-cause no one else will."

Certainly these people are suckers f rom the standpoint of the day. It 's "me first" and the devil take the hindmost. In this Christmas season it is, to say the least, difficult to harmonize the pat tern of a life of love and selflessness taught by Christ and the cold reality of what we see hap-pening around us every day. It seems ridiculous to say the world is wrong. Ridiculous! But is it?

LITTLE MAN ON THE CAMPUS by Bibler

"I'm sorry, young man, but this CIBHS is only open to psychoIoKy majors."

Miami's Jerk Hope Reflection

The Miami Hurr icane runs a

" J e r k " scr ies on campus charac-ters. Inasmuch as Hope 's l ibrary

is f requented by this type of s tu-

dent the fol lowing confess ion is quoted f rom the H u r r i c a n e :

I'm the jerk that loves to go to

the l ib ra ry . You'll a lways find me

there when it 's crowded. You're sure to find me around midterm

or final exam time.

How will you know m e ? T h a t ' s

simple. I 'm the jerk who has to

go outs ide for a smoke five minutes a f t e r I si t down.

F i r s t I s lam my book closed so that all the bad hear t cases a lmost

die of shock. Then I crumble up my papers . Final ly I push my

chair back so tha t it wakes up those who near ly died. I 'm su re to

push the chai r f a r enough and sufficiently hard enough to break

a few ribs of the guy behind me. Well, I 'm outside now. I t ' s a

good t ime to exercise my vocal

chords s ing ing or whis t l ing. A f t e r a good session outside. I

s t rugg le back to my sea t again

d i s tu rb ing as many as possible.

Five minu tes la ter I jus t go t t a

have a n o t h e r c iga re t t e . So I push, bump and squeeze my way outside

again. Yep, t h a t ' s me, I 'm the jerk.

Will Do-NexTYear! I resolve:

1. To keep lounge l ights out be-

tween 7:00 and 12:00 in Dur-

fee, Voorhees and Van Vleck to conserve electr ici ty.

2. Not to let my studying' inter-

f e r e with all the ex t ra curr i -cu la r activit ies.

No t to cut classes unless there is someth ing else to do.

4. No t to set a l a rm clocks in pianos.

5. To sleep in classes with my

eyes open so as not to d i s tu rb the professor .

0. To br ing back l ib ra ry books

not la ter than two weeks a f t e f t h e y are due.

7. To wr i te all t e r m - p a p e r s the n igh t before they a re due.

8. Not to go to the Tulip for

cof fee more than once a day.

To the North Pole Dear Santa,

As Christmas trees are becoming gregarious and the ol' Christmas spirit is circulating around campus once more, we Hope students decided to clar ify our good records to you. For a full month, we have not worn our roommates' cash-mere sweaters or put cracker crumbs in their beds, we haven't greased any telephones, thrown perfume under doors, taken slats f rom beds, or stuffed cold cream in tooth-paste tubes. At meals we always clean our plates and wouldn't even think of clinking spoons against our glasses.

50 Years Shouts Change In College Student, Says Prof.

New York, N. Y. ( L P . ) — T h e college student body of today is a good deal more serious than his g randfa the r was 50 years ago. That ' s the conclusion of Dr. William L. Prager , who recently retired a f t e r a half-century of teach-ing chemistry at the City College of New York.

Reviewing their activities. Professor Prager decided that college students of 50 years ago were more boisterous than the pveient day crop, " 'panty raids' and similar exhibitions notwith-standing." Dr. Prager believes that " the modern college student is less naive than his predecessor and he approaches his work with greater strength of purpose."

Professor Prager finds that the relationship between student and professor has undergone consider-able change during the last fifty •years. "In my student days at CCNY," he recalls, "the faculty was steeped in the West Point tradition and its members were strict disciplinarians. V e r y f e w students could break through the reserve maintained by their in-structors.

"Today," he finds, "the relations between student and teacher are decidedly more friendly. And it's a change for the better, I think, because more is accomplished by

A new opportunity will soon be opened to Hope College students. Under the supervision of the Stu-dent Council, Hope College will present weekly a radio program ayer the local s t a t i o n e n t i t l e d "Hope College ScrapbooR?N

The first broadcast will bo given everyone in such an atmosphere." Grades are better now, too. Prof. Prager believes, because teaching in the high schools has improved and students are better prepared for college work.

Y.M.C.A.

We are all interested in how our fa i th is growing. We as Christians want our lives to shine for th as a guide and a pathway for those who are stumbling along the way, or who are faeary because of many burdens. But having fa i th does not answer all our questions. Always there are problems to face and situations to overcome.

T h e men of Y met for a quest ion box meet ing last week.

The topic was "Faith and Reason," the purpose of the meet-

ing being to have individual prob lems and quest ions answered

by Dr. I). Ivan Dykstra, who was the leader for the evening.

Many quest ions were answered and many problems solved,

but still the quest ions came and there was not t ime enough

for all of them.

The devotions for the meeting were in charge of Benjamin LeFevre. Wayne Olsen led the song service, a f t e r which a quartet composed of Dennis De Haan, Don Jansma, Carol Van Farowe, and Therman Rynbrandt sang.

All students were invited to the Y sponsored Christmas Caroling. The group started at 9:00 P.M. Sunday evening f rom Durfee Hall. The carolers went to five convalescent homes and sang the traditional Christmas hymns.

Y.W.C.A.

It was a huge success! About thir ty "Y" girls met Tues-day evening, December 9, 1952 in the Jul iana room and were assigned specific locations to canvass for clothing and toys for the needy. At about 8:30, girls laden with coats, dresses, books, rag dolls, and numerous other articles reported to their s tar t ing place. Hot coffee and Chris tmas cookies wel-comed them. The busy fun of wrapping the g i f t s began and continued until ten or later while the girls sang Christmas carols and ate as they worked. We sincerely wish to thank everyone who made it possible for some child or adult to have a Merry Christmas.

The "Y's" met together Sunday evening, D e c e m b e r 14, at

9 : 0 0 to go carol ing at Kesthaven, Hol land Hospital and

other such places. It was a blessing to us who participated

and we hope it was to those who heard.

The Y.W. wishes you a very Merry Christmas, a safe journey home, and a Happy New Year! The Y program for 1953 has been carefully planned and promises you the very best in inspiration and fellowship.

"And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us." For this we thank Thee, 0 Father . It was only as Thou didst appear to us in Jesus Christ tha t

first Christmas tha t we can behold Thy glory and know the wonder of Thy salvation.

We are grateful tha t in Thy eternal plan Thou didst not leave us in the darkness of our sin, but did send the light of Jesus Christ to provide a way unto Thee.

We pray that we may have the t rue Chris tmas spir i t and realize that under all the festivities tha t we have built around this day lies the greatest g i f t of all time.

Help us to share the knowledge of the Christ child, our Saviour, with all mankind.

With grateful hearts we praise Thee for this gif t .

I. R. C. This year the IRC added another

to its list of service projects. Every foreign student who had not already made plans found a home open to him for a most enjoyable Thanksgiving holiday. In charge of the project were Sheila Moran and Ruth Bloodgood.

Once again the members of the International Relations Club were favored with glimpses of Europe. On December 3, Dr. Brown shared with us his family's experiences in

the Romance countries. Dr. Brown showed his versati l i ty as a photo-grapher by projecting both slides and movies.

We were surprised that "il pro-fessor" found nightly lodging for his flock without ever having ad-vance reservations. He explained that there are ample accomodations for those who don't demand ultimate in comfort.

^ on graduated from high school. You went forth. Thus, f rom the sheltered arms of mamma you braved the world and went to college — if it happened to be this one — 1 use the term loosely. When you arrived at college you observed that there were other creatures who had two arms and two legs, but they wore pants with only one pant leg and it only came down to their knees. From passing comments you found that they were called skirts — the garment of course. Somehow they were different looking — the creatures of course. Af ter noticing the paint on their faces, the first thought that came to your minds was that they were In-dians. And to top it all off, you found that they were s e p a r a t e d f r o m you and y o u r c l a s s m a t e s and made to live in hu^e , un-

Mission Drive History PART I.

By Jane t Soeter "Thur sday e v e n i n g W i n a n t s

Chapel witnessed a scene such as had never before been s taged on Hope College campus. I t was a wonderful scene in which every student and faculty member had an extremely impor tant role to play and indeed, they played it well ." This p a r a g r a p h is taken f rom the Hope College Anchor, Feb rua ry 7, 1917. This was to be the beginning of the annual Hope College Mission Drive.

It was an effective beginning for the drive because Hope College gained a s is ter school, Hope School

in India. This high school, f o r m -erly called Madanapolle, was re-named Hope High School a f t e r Hope s tudents had c o n t r i b u t e d enough m o n e y to support the super in tendent of the school.

Lit t le did the s tudents in the chapel tha t day realize t h a t they were to be the ini t iators of some-thing which would become a t radi-tion on Hope's campus. Tha t first year 650 dollars was raised.

Beginning" in tha t year and con-t inuing until 19.32, the s tudents a t Hope enthusiast ical ly supported the drive whose purpose was to support some par t of the Hope High School in India. Hope High School was

eventual ly discontinued as a re-ligious high school and replaced by a government insti tution. The col-lege suppor t was then given over to Hope Hostel, a dormitory and boarding house run in connection with the high school.

Dur ing the depression the ad-minis t ra t ion of H o p e C o l l e g e thought it would be best if they discontinued the drive.

In 1938, the "Ys" again sponsor-ed the mission drive, which once more became a par t of our college life. This was, therefore , the begin-ning of the Hope College Mission Drive.

Graduation Date Change Amended Thru Council

Climaxing a hectic week of s tudent council activity, the Executive committee voted Wednesday, December 10 to hold graduat ion J u n e 10 with the rest of the college calendar re-

main ing unchanged. Executive committee action was taken following the regu-

lar Tuesday evening S. C. meeting when the council passed a resolution request ing reconsider- j ation of the June 15 gradua t ion j date and urg ing June 10 as the | ^ t i o n . In its busiest day th.s yea r

fa i res t da te . The issue of school's te rminat ion

arose when the Board of Trus tees requested tha t the announced date of June 8 be scrapped in order to avoid a conflict w i t h S y n o d ' s annual meet ing and Central col-lege's centennial fest ival .

On December 2 the Executive commit tee of the college voted to postpone graduat ion until the 15th and submit ted three possible ways of d i s t r i b u t i n g a n a d d i t i o n a l week's vacation time.

The announcement of the de-cision received unusual s tudent re-

the s tudent council office received

It was on the basis of these com-

plaints tha t s tudent gove rnmen t

needed most . "

The Night Of December 18 By Marjorie Pickens

" T w a s the night before", they always say, When everyth ing is s t i l l ; All s t i r r ing round about the house Is absolutely nil.

t

\ \ ell, 1 in my delusionment Went soft ly off to bed. In happy thought of soundest sleep — That t ra in t r i p was ahead.

When suddenly a rumbl 'ng roar Re-echoed down the hall, Wha t happened next is hard to say, F o r 1 can ' t quite recall.

I mus t have been dragged out of bed, (My feet were awful ly cold). And carr ied off then to carouse. ' T i s ear ly" 1 was told.

The sound of carols 'n "J ingle Bells" My hovering sleep did woo.

Till someone screeched out f rom behind, "A happy New Year too!"

A blast of bi t ing icy a i r Slapped me across the face. And whished and whooshed me so, 1 muttered back sans grace.

There in the open doorway stood A figure not so broad. "Tis S a n t a " clamored all. Said one, " I t looks more like DeWaard ."

In jolly song they did par take, The food and drink were free. All saw the dawn — but I who was Asleep beneath the tree.

Sport Trophy Explained; Hope Trails Only Brits

In recent MIAA sports history the league has efetablished a tradition of awarding a trophy to the team corrtjjfmlg the

most points in all the competitive sports engaged in by the

members of the league. All fall, winter and spring sports

are included in the final tally. This system prevents an over-

emphasis on any one sport and gives all schools an equal op-

portunity for supremacy.

Last yea r Albion Collepe edged

out Hope by one point to cap tu re

the t rophy in an exci t ing cl imax.

Albion took th i rd place in football ,

second in basketbal l , second in

t r ack and firsts in cross country

and golf to earn enough points for

victory. Though Hope upset a

favored Albion t rack team a t the

annual MIAA Field Day, they

could only a m a s s enough points to trail Albion by one.

Albion is off to an even g r e a t e r

s t a r t this year . The Bri tons have taken first place in the only two

spor t s played to da te — footbal l

and cross count ry . Hope has man-

aged only a third place in cross

country and second in football .

However, there a re still five spor t s

to be decided and, as was seen last

year, much r e s t s on the outcome of

the two sp r ing minor sports* tennis

ami golf .

This is how the MIAA All -Spor ts

Dutch Drop First ThreejS'x Dutchmen Achieve Valpo Opener Leii 104-68

In the f i r s t of three Thanks-

g iv ing " w a r m - u p " games a g a i n s t

Ind iana colleges, Hope dropped i ts

opening game to Valparaiso, 104-08.

The Crusaders f rom Valpo, who are

one of the highly ra ted mid-west-

ern backetball powers, with their

super ior height , c o n t r o l l e d the

game most of the way.

A f t e r an ear ly Hope lead in which

the Dutchmen were in f r o n t a t the

eight minute mark, 14-12, Valpo

began an effective use of screen? and o ther offensive plays to pull

ahead to a ha l f - t ime lead of 52-34.

Chief thorn in the side of the Dutch cause was Valparaiso 's tall fi'S" center , Bielke, who scored 25 points ; and was also a contr ibut ing f ac to r in the Crusaders ' control of the b a c k b o a r d s . Guard, Marck, chipped in 15 tallies fo r the win-ners .

F o r Hope, who had two men hampered with back in jur ies . Bob Bolema who missed the game, and Bob Visser who saw limited action, the leading scorers were center

Bob H e n d r i c k s o n w i t h 17, and scrappy fo rward J e r r y Jacobson, who garnered Ifi.

Coach John Visser also used the oppor tun i ty to introduce his new players to college basketball . Play-

ing their debuts were f r e shmen Harold M o l e n a a r , Alden Klom-parens , Dwight Riemersma, and Johnny Adams; also seeing action was f o r m e r h igh scoring Benton Harbor J . C. Guard, John Bran-nock.

Near Win Recorded Against Wabash

The second game in the Hoosier

state, was played a t Crawfordsvil le

aga ins t Wabash. The game was

thr i l l ing from s ta r t to finish with

the score close throughout the con-

fest . Although Wabash emerged the victor by a 92-87 count, their most

substant ial lead was a ten point

spread in the last five minutes of

the game.

With Hope outscoring Wabash in

the second period, the Dutch were

able to narrow the score to 53-51

at the half . A phenomenal per-

centage of shots made f rom the

outside provided the difference for

Wabash. This high scoring offens-

ive battle indicated tha t Hope

might bet ter its as tounding points-

per-game record of last year . Hope

controlled both backboards with the

height of Bob Bolema and Bob

Hendrickson.

The high scorer fo r the night

was Hope's Bob Hendrickson with

24 points, followed by Wabash for-

ward, Tom Hankinson, who ac-

counted for 23. Three other Hope

men reached double f igures as Jacobsen poured in 21, Bos, 20 and Bob Visser, 15.

De Pauw Final Indiana Victor

The final game played in In-

diana at Greencastle aga ins t the

Tigers of De Pauw Univers i ty

marked the third s t ra igh t loss to

a Hoosier school. Another high

scoring contest with the home team

Tigers on the favorable end of a

96-71 count was marked by furious

offensive techniques on the pa r t s of

both teams.

Hope led throughout most of the

first half with De Pauw closing

f a s t to assume a narrow half t ime

lead of 39-35. Using a pressing de-

fense and a precisioned f a s t break,

the Tigers dominated the scoring

scene in the second half . Again Hope had control of the boards by means of the height and scrap of Bob Hendrickson and Bob Bolema.

Bob Hendrickson was high man for the game, dumping in 18 points for Hope's losing cause. DePauw's center Lorcher was high scorer fo r the victors with 17 points followed by forward Gild with 16 and guard Pierce with 14. The o ther scoring for Hope saw Don Piersma hit fo r 17, Bob Visser with 13, and Bob Bolema with 12. All members of the Dutch squad saw action except Ron Bos who was sick with the flu.

All-MIAA Grid Honors Although Hope was limited to second place in the final

M I A A standings, the various coaches in the league gave them prestige in the selection of the All-MIAA honor team. Six Hope players were awarded berths on the all-league eleven with one earning a position on both the offensive and defensive teams. It is significant that Hope placed six men on the team while Albion, the league champion, placed only five.

Newton Most Valuable Center, John Newton, who was

voted by his t e ammates as the most valuable player on the 1952 Hope College football team, was accorded t h e h o n o r of b e i n g

selected to both offensive and de-

fensive elevens.

Sophomore end, Paul Bos, was

selected by the coaches as defen-sive end. From the other end of the Hope line. Ken Bauman placed as offensive end in due respect fo r his s t e l l a r pass-catching which culminated in m a n y H o p e touch-downs. G u a r d , Lloyd Beekman, captain of this year ' s team and one of the smar t e s t defensive players in recent Hope College grid history, was placed on the A l l - M I A A team for the second consecutive year .

Van Hoeven All-League Guard Guard, J im Van Hoeven, who

has not played "three years of var-si ty football, maintained domina-tion of the all-league position as guard on the offensive team which he earned last year . This year ' s team conferred a f u r t h e r honor upon Van Hoeven by electing him co-captain of the 1953 Hope team. The other co-captain of next year 's team, Don Piersma» also retained the position for which he was selected last year , s a fe tyman on the defensive team, a position he has capably tilled since he first went out for football last year .

These h o n o r s a r e b u t added tr ibute and glory to the 1952 Hope College football team which will be long remembered in the gridiron history of the school.

DUTCH DOWN CALVIN 70-6$ Victory Over Alma Breaks Loss Streak

Hope's rampaging Dutchmen began their league season on a high note two weeks ago, blasting Alma, 77-54. Though playing without the services of Bob Visser and J e r ry Jacob-son, the Hope men, by coming through with their victory, gave evidence tha t they will be no pushover in the coming MIAA race.

A f t e r fa l l ing behind 7-2 in the

opening minutes of play. Alma

bounccd back to pull ahead 8-7, for

the first and only t ime in the game.

H o w e v e r , p a c e d by B o s a n d

Bolema, the Dutch rallied to take

an 18-11 first qua r t e r lead.

Ahead 35-28 at the half , the

Hopemen rat t led oflf s t r a igh t

points a t the s t a r t of the third

quar te r to pile up a 44-28 bulge.

The rea f t e r , the Dutch were never

in trouble, outscoring" Alma 19-12

in the third quar ter , and 23-14 in

the final s tanza .

Big gun in the Hope at tack was

lion Bos, who racked up 27 points

for the evening. Another thorn in

the Scot's side was center, Bob

Hendrickson. Not content with pouring through 12 points, big

"Henry" , along with Bob Bolema,

played a superlat ive game off the

boards.

Thoughts On Sports By Dave Haas

With the addition of a new team to MIAA basketball competi t ion, namely Olivet College, all t eams will be required to play 12 g a m e s which will make the season quite in teres t ing . All t eams have seen action, with two t eams at least appea r ing to be able to give Hope a hard fight to retain their basketball supremacy. The type of basket-ball employed by most teams, the f a s t break, indicates tha t the league champion will not emerge with an unblemished record. Tha t is how the MIAA basketball picture seems to unravel f rom this point of v iew: A L B I O N : John Porter , holder of (wo MIAA scor ing records, is back to bolster Albion's high scoring offence. Former Grand Rapids J . C.

scoring ace, Bob Fr iberg , has seen limited action thus f a r this year , yet enough to tie Albion's bail game with Calvin and then drop in th ree shots to win the game for Albion. Though upset in their initial MIAA encounter by a s t rong Kalamazoo team, they are never to be counted out especially when one remembers the mad and fur ious 93-91 victory by Hope at Albion last year . F igure them to tie for second place with a 9 won and 3 lost record.

KALAMAZOO: Spor t ing an as tounding victory over Albion, the Hornets loom as a definite th rea t f o r the title. Center Glasser , an All-City selection f rom New York City, has been scoring .profuse ly

f rom the pivot slot. The team has been phenomenal in the i r scoring f rom the outside. Though the versa t i le John Winter is lost fo r the entire season, they have enough spark remaining to gain them 9 wins and 3 losses and a tie with Albion for second place.

H O P E : Losing but one member of last year ' s championship five, the Dutch appea r s t rong enough to repeat as the MIAA title holder. Bob Bolema has shown t h a t he is well qualified to assume the position vacated by Jun Bremer, especially under the defensive boards. J e r r y Jacobsen is displaying the All-MIAA form he is capable of, h i t t ing re-peatedly f rom the right side. Bob Hendrickson has developed into one of the g rea tes t centers this repor te r has ever seen in four years a t Hope: his height and accura te " j u m p " shot will provide Hope with in-side s t reng th . Ron Bos seems destined to continue his scoring spree s tar ted one year ago ; an excellent ball handler and main cog in Hope's

f a s t break. Lanky Bob Visser, hampered by injur ies thus fa r , will supply added height to the team as well as a scor ing th rea t , evidenced in last year 's 18 point per game league average. Though losing two games, Hope's ten victories should be enough for them to retain the basketball crown.

A L M A : Not able to obtain enough additional power to produce a championship quintet , the Scots are able to upset any one of the th ree

top teams and jumble the final s tandings . However, Alma will be able to maintain a five hundred percentage of wins and (i losses and sole possession of four th place.

A D R I A N : A renovated athletic depar tmen t has given Adrian a team capable of emerg ing f rom the cellar where they have been confined fo r the past few years. They opened the season with an impressive victory over Hillsdale. F igure Adrian close behind Alma in fifth place with a 4 wins and 8 losses record.

H I L L S D A L E : Many re tu rn ing le t te rmen such as Walsh and Apple-dorn will give Hillsdale the ability to remain out of the cellar. Hills-

dvle is the type of team tha t can ruin the hopes of any one of the other six teams; a team that is rugged in mid-season. The Dales will finish in sixth place with 3 victories and 9 defeats .

OLIVET: The first year that Olivet is competing in the MIAA a f t e r a lapse of many seasons will provide merely a means of developing players and a style f o r the fu tu re . Olivet must increase interest in basketball and provide encouragement to high school players before they can floor a championship team. They are unfor tuna te ly doomed to the MIAA cellar with one victorv and eleven defeats .
