Hope Students Welcome

Will Dedicate Holland Library Around Christmas Holidays

by John Bos

The staff at the Holland Pub-lic Library hopes that the new Herrick Public Library, donated by Mr. Ray W. Herrick, will be ready for dedication by Christ-mas time. Finishing plans are underway for the interior dec-orating, and the landscaping plans will be ready in one month.

The new library, one of Hol-land's g r e a t e s t needs and dreams-come-true, will have adequate facilities to care for the people of Holland at all age levels.

There will be three main sec-tions in the l ibrary; the chil-dren's section, the young adult section, and the adult section. These sections will be separated from the rest of the l ibrary by decorated room dividers or low bookcases.

In discussing the matter , Mrs. Hazel Hayes, City Librarian, said: "I hope we will be able to have bookcases instead of room dividers, because people who don't work in a library don't realize how much room is need-ed for books."

There will be an over-all seat-ing capacity fo r 175 persons. There will be study space for 75 adults in the adult section, plus the various lounges on the main floor and several spaces upstairs . There will also be a 150-capacity M e e t i n g Room which will be used for the week-ly "Story Hour," and also for

Civic organizations which de-sire to use it.

The library expects to have about 65,000 volumes at its opening. "With the increase in our city's population, we really should have 80,000 volumes," stated Mrs. Hayes.

Several organizations have given generous g i f t s to the li-brary. The J u n i o r Welfare League has given $5000 towards furnishing the children's sec-tion; the J.C.'s have given $2500 for books; and the Exchange Club has donated a large mural to beautify the interior.

Hope College students have used the city l ibrary quite ex-tensively during the years, es-pecially in the magazine depart-ment, since Hope College's li-brary does not permit maga-zines to circulate.

"We will continue to welcome Hope students with open a rms and help in any way tha t we can to supplement the services of the college l ibrary," said Mrs. Hayes.

By the way, prospective sum-mer students, the new library will be 100% air-conditioned.

Activities For Weekend

Varied and Extensive Activities for the 1959 ^Iomecoming• weekend are

varied and extensive, designed in the hope of interesting1

both students and alumni. Mark De Witt and Marlene Gouwens are student co-chairmen for this important fall event.

Homecoming officially began at 7:30 p.m. yesterday with the pep rally and queen's coronation a t Riverview Park. Judy Eastman and Dennis Hengeveld were co-chairmen for this yearly program. A WAL reception planned by Norma DeBoer for the brand-new Queen was held in Durfee lounge immediately a f t e r for all s tudents and faculty.

Friday Today at 2:00 the second annual Academic Homecoming will

open with a general session in the Dimnent Memorial Chapel. Professor John Ver Beek, general chairman, will preside.

Judging of houses and dorm decorations later this afternoon and evening should prove amusing for the judges. All decorations are centered around the general theme Cartoon Capers. Pris Wubbles and Ron Wiegerink are in charge of this phase of home-coming.

At 8:15 another general session of Academic homecoming will meet in the chapel to discuss the Middle East .

Saturday Saturday is perhaps the busiest day of the weekend. The

9:00-10:30 Academic section meetings will deal with f ront iers in Science and Technology, the Racial Barriers , and the Literary Frontiers.

At 10:30 the parade of f ra te rn i ty and sorority floats, handled by Ron Beyer, will progress down the main streets of Holland, judged by Student Council officers f rom Kalamazoo.

At noon, alumni members of the " H " Club will lunch a t Dur-fee Hall while Mrs. Lubbers enter ta ins the out-of-town wives at luncheon.

During the hal f t ime of the afternoon Hope-Kalamazoo foot-ball game, the winners of the float and dorm decorations will be announced. Dan Ritsema will introduce the Men's Choir and the Band. The Queen will be presented with her court. Open house in all dorms will follow the game. Lorraine Hellenga is in charge of the Alcor Alumnae tea which will be served at Gilmore Cottage at this time.

From 5:30-7:00 the Jul iana room will be open fo r the Alumni Buffet dinner. Phi Alpha Theta, the history f ra te rn i ty , will cele-brate its anniversary with a dinner.

Play Capek's play "R.U.R." will be presented by Palet te and

Masque a t 7:30. Students playing the lead roles in this study of "advanced civilization" are Rod Zegers and Mary Fryling.

Marge Kempers and Dave Meyer are co-chairmen for the Homecoming Ball to be held in Fantasy Land, otherwise known as the Civic Center, a t 8:30. Serving as the Queen's orchestra are the Aristocrats .

Homecoming will close on Sunday afternoon with a Vespers service in Dimnent Memorial Chapel, planned by Dean Nederveld.

Women Prexy's Named

For Many New Cottages As the school season gets un-

der way, campus groups select

their leaders and begin to or-

ganize fo r the coming year.

Following this precedent, last

week the various women's resi-

dences elected their house coun-cils for 1959-1960.

Because a house council meets regularly and takes up all prob-lems concerned with its own residence, the girls elected are necessarily those who possess "outstanding leadership abili-ty ."

The officers' jobs, f a r f rom being only nominal, require both t ime and effort.

In the largest dorm, Durfee Hall, Lorraine Hellenga was elected president of the house council. Van Vleck chose Ellen Frink, and Voorhees Hall select-ed Priscilla Wubbles as its head.

Joyce Tysen is the new pres-ident of Columbia Hall; Fair-banks will be presided over by Patricia Kooiman; and Sally Ewing has the leading position a t Mandeville.

Oggel Cottage, whose senior counselors are Dale Burns and

Sharon Van't Kerkhoff, has Bet-ty Cooper for its council pres-ident; in Scott, where Greta Weeks and Sue Evans are coun-selors, Ardis Daining will head the council.

Doesburg's president, Susan Lahman, will assist counselor Carol Buitendorp, while at Beck Cottage, Pat Nederveld will work with counselors Miriam Klaaren and Virginia Top.

In Kleinheksel, where Marlene Gowans and Sharon Crossman are counselors, Nancy Daniel-son was elected to the presiden-cy; a t Crispell, Jean Louret will help counselors Sharon Beck and Cheryl Veen to keep the house running smoothly.

Voorhees Annex, under the charge of Ann Tell and Cynthia Vander Myde, has chosen Vir-ginia Mortenson as its chief ex-ecutive, and in Shields, where Joan Schroeder and Loretta Plassche are in charge, Turid Anderson was selected to head the house council. Finally, the residents of Taylor, counseled by Diane Sluyter and Marilyn Scudder, have entrusted J a n e Woodley with the leading office.

Members of House Board discuss the problems connected wi th the addi t ion of nine women houses on campus this year. (Pho to—Mi l fo rd Hale)

Once again the traditional pull between the freshmen and the sophomores took place. The scene was the banks of the Black River lined with eager spectators awaiting to see the annual event.

The teams had been practic-ing for two weeks, experiencing pains in muscles they never knew they had. The f reshmen were under the direction of Bill Harms, Dan Ritsema, Bob "Mo-ses" Mulder, and J im Betke while Tim Vander Mel, John "Omar" Tysse, and Jim Strin-ger coached the sophomores.

The practicing was through though and the big day was here. The respective teams dug in and awaited the signal.

The signal sounded and the rope became taught . Each team strained, the men flushed, sweat appeared on their fore-heads, and moral gir ls gave en-couraging words to their men and wiped their brows.

The pull was at i ts peak. The rope went one way and then another. Excitement mounted as the spectators cheered the teams on. The f reshmen brok** the storm fences on their side to get nearer the action.

The f reshmen heaved with all their might and brought the sophomores splashing into the forbidding water of the Black River. They accomplished the feat in 11.9 minutes.

Yes, fo r the first t ime in six years the f reshmen were vic-torious.

The freshmen cheered "Yea, 63" while the dispondent sopho-mores sang soft ly, "Splish Splash, I was takin ' a ba th!"

Pre-Med Society Orgonized

On October 1, 1959, the Hope College Pre-med Society wel-comed both old and new mem-bers to its first meet ing of the 1959-1960 school year.

The society which is designed to fos te r the interests of the fu tu re doctors in medicine and dentistry is open to all pre-medical and pre-dental s tudents having a t least sophomore standing.

Special trips of interests, speakers from the v a r i o u s fields of medicine, and films serve to give the members some insights into the i r f u t u r e pro-fession.

The meeting was presided by Phil Damstra , President, and following the business meeting a film entitled "Elective Rhino-plas ty" was shown. A f t e r the film ref reshments were served.

It's wet work for sorry Sophomoresl (Photc -Vander Vusse)

Mew Courses Offered There have been s e v e r a l

changes in the curriculum for the coming year.

One of the foremost develop-ments is the newly created or reorganized Greek Department. Although courses in Greek have, in the past, been offered there have been no courses in cultural Greek within the past few years.

Heretofore a course in New Testament Greek was offered, which was geared specifically to the pre-seminary student, creating a definite lack of classical Greek.

This year Hope College has Dr. Zsiros who is in charge of the newly organized classical Greek classes. The experiment in offering classical elementary Greek directed to all s tudents, not jus t those who are interest-ed in at tending seminary, has proven itself.

There are 50 students now en-rolled in the elementary Greek

Examination Dates Released

The Educational Testing Ser-vice has announced dates a t which time the Graduate Rec-ord Examinations will be ad-ministered at examination cen-ters throughout the country.

Many graduate schools advise applicants to take these tests ; however, s tudents should in-quire a t the school of their choice as to specific require-

ments. Examination dates are : No-

vember 21, January 16, April 23, and July 9. For more in-formation contact Mr. Vander Borgh.

The United States Civil Serv-ice Commission has announced tha t applications are now being accepted fo r the 1960 Federal Service Entrance Examination.

Through t h i s examination young people of college caliber may begin a career in the Fed-eral Civil Service in one of some sixty different occupation-al fields.

The examination is open to college juniors, seniors and graduates regardless of m a j o r study. The jobs to be filled f r o m the F.S.E.E. are in various Federal agencies and are lo-cated in Washington D. C., and throughout the United States.

Interested persons may ob-tain f u r t h e r information f rom Dr. Van Dahm in the placement office.

class; the unexpected enroll-ment and interest shown in th is subject necessitated opening an additional section of Greek. Al-so offered this year in connec-tion with the Greek is a course in Classical Archaeology.

The Philosophy Depar tment too, has undergone and is in the p r o c e s s of undergoing change. The administration fe l t t ha t more should be offered in the vein of critical thinking, and so a course Reflective and Crit-ical Thinking, is now being of-fered.

The sequel to this will be an advanced course in logic, to be given next semester. The in-structor of the course to be of-fered this year is Dr. Utzinger.

Kuizenga To Speak SL Week

Dr. Henry Kuizenga, minister o f t h e F i r s t Presbyter ian Church of Ann Arbor, will be the speaker f o r Spiritual Life Week, November 8-12.

Formerly known as Religious Emphasis week, the week will include Sunday afternoon's Ves-per Service in the chapel, special chapel services through-out the week, counseling, dorm devotions, the Tuesday evening Y meeting, and a Communion service in the chapel Thursday night. The theme fo r concen-tration is "Prayer" .

The committee, under joint chairmen Sharon Van't Kerk-hoff and John Kleinheksel, in-cludes: Ruth Lanning, Fr i t z Kruithof, Marilyn Vander Wilt , Dave Simala, Bobbie Amos, Del Neroni, Sharon Grossman, Way-ne Joosse, Judy Nienhuis, Rich Hertel, P a t Rhem, and Hal Whipple, with Dr. Wolters serv-ing as Advisor to the commit-tee.

Alumni Gather To Celebrate Homecoming

by George Bitner Tradition will be renewed this weekend for the 31st con-

secutive year, when Hope Alumni f rom all over the United States ga ther in Holland to celebrate Homecoming. The festivities have been an annual affair since November 9, 1928, when the first Homecoming celebration was held.

On this date, the first Home- • — coming was highlighted by a ^ut the Hope women wouldn't

big parade on Friday evening, followed by a pep rally a t Riv-erview Park. The football game on Saturday was preceded by another parade to the park. The fraterni t ies and sororities en-tertained their visiting alumni.

In 1933 the Frosh-Soph ath-letic fight and pull were includ-ed in the Homecoming celebra-tion, but the following year were held as a separa te event preceding Homecoming. N o t until 1945 did they become a regular part of the program.

The year 1937 stands out fo r the fac t tha t Miss Marjory Moody was named Hope's first Homecoming Queen, although a c t u a l coronation ceremonies seem not to have been initiated until a year later.

World War II attempted to interrupt the schedule of things,

let it happen. In 1944, there was a drastic lack of men on campus, but tradition prevailed as returning alumni were greet-ed by a festive celebration. It featured two t o u c h-football squads of Hope's coeds compet-ing against each other.

1948 marked the beginning of Homecoming as it was known until last year: the annual tug-of-war of Friday af ternoon, cor-onation of the queen and her court on Friday evening, parade on Saturday morning, and foot-ball game in the af ternoon. This year it also became traditional fo r Pale t te and Masque to pre-sent a Homecoming production.

1958 initiated the Academic Homecoming. This idea grew out of a discussion among mem-bers of the executive commit-tee of the Alumni Association and the college staff members.

At 8:15 p.m. tonight a gen-eral session of all part icipat ing in academic homecoming will be held in Dimnent M e m o r i a l Chapel. Mr. Paul Dame, '44, president of the Hope College Alumni Association, will preside a t this gathering.

The keynote address will be delivered by Dr. John S. Ba-deau, president of the Near Eas t Foundation. The topic of Dr. Badeau's address is "The Mid-dle Eas t : Political Front ier in Today's World."

Dr. Badeau was educated at Union College, Rutgers Uni-versity, New Brunswick Semin-ary, Union Theological Seminary and Columbia University. He is an ordained minister in the Presbyter ian Church and the author of East and West of Suez, Emergency of Modern Egyp t ; and The Lands Between.

Dr. Badeau is also a widely known lecturer, especially cited fo r his able and sympathetic in-terpreta t ion of the Near Eas t . Every year his work with the Foundation takes him to the Middle Eas t where he visits Iran, Egypt , Jordan, Syria and Lebanon.

History of Hope

Aspirations and Ideals Fashion Hope Into Successful College

by Betty Vicha

Three years ago Hope Col-lege was selected as one of the top ten co-educational liberal ar ts colleges in the country by the Chicago Tribune. In addi-tion, in 1957 the Michigan State Legislature issued a resolution congratulat ing Hope College on her at tainment.

A college does not at tain a laudable position such as this "overnight" without hardship and ordeal. What then are the sequels tha t have led to Hope's success? Whose are the aspira-tions and ideals which fashion Hope into what men have con-sidered successful ? What are these aspirations and ideals?

Hope College was founded be-cause of the ideals and aspira-tions of a band of immigrants from the Netherlands who set sail for America on October 2, 1846.

These courageous people, led by Rev. A. C. Van Raalte, made their way to Michigan to settle in a surrounding where they could live and raise their chil-dren in accordance with their Christian fai th .

By 1848 they had settled in a promising location on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan near Black Lake. Even at tha t early date, they were concerned with the education of their people and fel t tha t " the charac-ter, outlook and prosperity of a people are dependent upon its education."

And so plans were made to

establish a school. The General Synod of the Reformed Church, with which the set t lers had affi-liated, appointed Walter C. Tay-lor, an elder in the Reformed Church of Geneva, New York, to be in charge. Work on the pioneer school began in 1851.

The first repor t on the new school contained this s ta tement by Dr. Van Raalte, "This is my Anchor of Hope fo r this people in the fu tu re . "

He backed up his belief by giving five acres of land fo r use by the new school.

The people, too, had a great fai th in the new school they were establishing. From miles around men came to clear the land, goods were donated, every-one sacrificed something to help Dr. Van Raalte 's Anchor of Hope to begin.

For they had come to make a place in the New World fo r their children and they were willing to sacrifice if need be in order to prepare them for high grade American citizenship and the intelligent development of Christian character .

In the words of their courage-ous founder, "Lest our chidren become the tag-end of society." Their goal was a Christian school.

The school headed by Walter

Taylor was called Holland Aca-demy and was housed in a building called "Van Vleck" which had been built in 1854. In 1866 Hope College was offi-cially incorporated and tha t year eight men comprised the first graduation class.

Rev. Philip Phelps D.D. was elected the first president and Hope College, still closely con-nected to the academy, began its long years of growing pains.

By 1867 the students number-ed sixty-eight and the campus contained several other small buildings, one of which was a log cabin chapel which the stu-dents themselves constructed.

Pioneers in every way, the founders of Hope College were educators of tha t t ime who re-cognized the importance and need of higher education for women.

In contrast to contemporary schools which were against co-education, Hope in its first year of existence declared: "Higher education for women seems to provide the proper medium be-tween the spirit of oriental bar-barism which regards women as fitted only to be parent and housekeeper, and the infidelity of women's r ights falsely so-called."

What Soek Ye? Now that we have more or less made the change into the

busy and hectic life of a new school year, we should pause a moment to reflect on what we and others have done in the past and to look forward to the future . We should ask ourselves what we hope to accomplish in these years that we are going to spend at college.

Doubtless, we have already answered this question in some manner or other or else we wouldn't even be here. But, are these the real reasons fo r get t ing an education?

Dr. Wendall A. Miles, in his Convocation Address, "A Bucket of Rain, pushed aside some of these trite and mundane reasons for get t ing an education. He said tha t a "liberal a r t s " education is not designed to make us well-rounded individuals or to fill us with knowledge as one would pour water into a glass. We get an education he said to make us mature individuals: physically, mentally, and morally. We should learn to become stabilized in-dividuals in a world filled with order on the surface but chaos and turmoil underneath. The individual needs to become a t home with himself, his society, and his God. These are the aims of a liberal a r t s education.

Isn t it true, though, t ha t many come to college merely hoping to secure themselves an economically sound fu tu re by t ra ining for a certain profession. But others have enlarged this goal and hope to develop themselves as social beings also. They hope tha t in living and working with people of various types of backgrounds, they will develop their own personalities automatically. Thereby, they will guarantee themselves a secure social fu tu re also.

However, we should not over-emphasize the social aspect of "social being" to the ignoring of our being first of all "beings." We must realize tha t in order to really know and understand the society in which we live, we must first t ruly understand ourselves, we have the key to all experience and to all knowledge. Only then can we hope to truly understand the world and the people about us.

But we cannot stop a f t e r we have answered the questions about our society and ourselves. For the human mind has always followed these questions directly with the question of whether or not there is a Go(o)d. This question man has always found the hardest to answer; and a f t e r he has answered it, the hardest to accept. For man has no t rue basis for living or f o r knowledge or even for thinking a t all about the past or the fu tu re apar t from first experiencing God. This is man's greatest knowledge and his greates t goal fo r education.

However, education does not give us experience, a belief, or a fai th in God. This knowledge and experience is not a set of facts tha t can be writ ten in a textbook or dished out by the professor to the class in little packets. We must first begin with an experience, a belief, and a fa i th in God before we can truly know, much less understand, our experiences in this world. It is with this experience of belief and fa i th in God that all education. Christian or secular, must begin; not where it should end.

However, we must remember what Marshall once said about education: "We can never hop to convert people, we can only lead them close enough so tha t they too may experience our Saviour and God." In this he was repeating somewhat what Socrates many ages before: "The t rue purpose of the teachers is not to convey information nor to plant ideas in young minds, but ra ther to lead them to the true knowledge so tha t they may see it them-selves and then in truly appreciat ing it, to live by it ." It is this search for true knowledge and t rue experience that occupies our time and thought while we are here at college. But I am sure it will not cease when we finish our formal education for oddly enough, it is almost human nature that the more we know, the more we seek to know.

In Thursday's performance one of the guards planted his rifle butt squarely and forceful-ly on his own foot, emit t ing a screech tha t we easily heard over the orchestra.

A New Perspective Never before in the history of Hope College have a group of

Hope students been able to ' re t rea t ' f rom the campus fo r any period of time, and get an opportunity to know each other or see each other in any situation besides school.

But this past weekend, such a campus-wide re t reat was made possible. The total impact of such a weekend will never be known — but one thing is known, this won't be the last campus-wide re t reat !

In the beauty of Camp Geneva, we were able to look at our-selves objectively as individuals and as pa r t of a s tudent body who 'claimed' to be Christian. And yet i t took this weekend to make us realize how small we really are.

But there we, with our individual differences, were made small as we came into a ful ler perspective of what it really meant to be a Christian. For as we fel t a new warmth, closeness and deep oneness — w e knew that Christ was there!

Or again: earlier in the same opera Count Almaviva, assist-ed by a r ag t ag group of town musicians, is serenading Rosina, his love. The musicians, clown-ing with all the callow graces of pimply-cheeked adolescents at a high-school banquet, com-pletely stole the scene; I doubt that Rosina herself, had she looked out of her window, would have noticed the Count singing directly underneath her.

All in good fun, of course. But musically the afternoon performance was not very im-pressive.

There was in part icular a distressing lack of unity in the orchestral at tacks—largely due to the conductor's having to rush, between recitative and aria, from the piano to the po-dium, bagk-agak^ fo r more re-c i t ^ U r e r e t c r

Rigoletto^-Was considerably more-sa t i s fy ing , musically and dramatically. Several of the af ternoon's best male voices— Robert Falk, Claudio Raubais— were back; and the soprano Olivia Bonelli gave a more lyric performance than had Anna D'arte in the "Barber ."

The orchestra as well (though in neither performance did it prove equal to the demands of the respective overtures) , re-sponded bet ter to the demands of the music and its conductor, superior in intonation and at-tack. Even its worst was in-comparably better than last year 's National Art is t ' s Sym-phonette fiasco.

For this, a f t e r all, is our di-viding line between a good and a bad concert (we distinguish also between good and excel-lent but on this small campus there is not much use for such a s t andard) ; tha t a certain number of mistakes, being in-evitable, are admissible—b u t there is a limit to our powers of forgiveness.

When tha t limit is passed, when there is no hint of sym-pathy or understanding on the par t of the performer , then there need be no hint of sympa-thy or understanding in the critic.

By this s tandard we can only say tha t Thursday 's operas were good; workmanly, honest per-formances tha t deserved a larg-er audience than they got. I fo r one hope fo r a re turn en-gagement.

QUESTION: Do you think the new chapel ticket system is an improvement over the old moni-tor system? Why?

Nancy Malstrom: No. Never in my wildest dreams did I-^im-agine a weird system like our new chapel ticket system. I suppose it is necessary because of our huge student body, but this difficulty could be easily surmounted by lowering the compulsory at tendance to say, three times a week.

At least with the old monitor system you had a sure seat. This way you have to race over there fifteen minutes early to make sure you get in. There 's a j am going in and a jam going out because of the tickets. I keep wondering if I'm ever go-ing to win a door prize.

John Parkes : Watchdogs re-main watchdogs, no mat te r what their specific meri ts ; and a loss to one's integrity is always a loss, however entertained. But I like machines: they command less personal obeisance. They can be kicked weekly to insure a healthy at t i tude of belliger-ance. I am not required to smile as I deposit my symbol of religious spirit in the chapel box.

Bernice Buyskens: Yes, I think in the present situation with the increase in enrollment it is a good, f a i r system.

Peter Kuizenga: No, I don't. Walking into chapel now re-minds me of walking into an arcade, the staccato click of the slot machines, with the thought of ge t t ing a winning ticket. The idealistic objections, however, are unfor tunately secondary to the thought tha t "you can't beat the machine." One major disadvantage, the machine does not date.

Edna Wagner : I t seems to be. One thing t ha t must please the office is tha t there is less room for human error. (The monitors were a little more hu-man!)

If any chaos occurs, a t least it 's organized! In other words, there is much less confusion. This is probably due to a big improvement this year : namely the freedom to choose our own seats.

Betty Talsma: For enforced honesty in at tendance yes, I believe it is an improvement. But my first impression on walking into chapel was tha t it

sounded as if I were in Las Vegas.

The "ticket sys tem" dis tracts those who would like to use these few minutes as a devo-tional period.

Let 's t ry voluntary chapel fo r a designated period of t ime and see what the outcome may be. I think it 's more impor tant tha t we attend chapel in order to get something out of it than have those come who must in order to fulfill the requirements. It is not the quanti ty of per-sons that you bring into the gather ing, it is the quality of those who are dedicated and in-terested.

No one can make a person worship! When our time comes and we reach our reward, chap-el tickets will be null and void.

Jane t De Noble: Judging by outward appearances, I would say tha t it is a more effective means of increasing chapel a t -tendance—no more worry about monitors doing a slip-shod job. To put it in the words of one student, "a t least now when you go, you know it counts"—counts to the administration, tha t is— I wonder if it 's "count ing" with God.

Perhaps next time we are looking fo r new innovations concerning chapel, we might t ry more dynamic speakers, a psy-chologically b e t t e r time for chapel, improving the general atmosphere—a p o s i t i v e ap-proach.

Mel Ver Steeg: I think it is an improvement over the old monitor system as f a r as dis-couraging chapel cuts is con-cerned, f o r the new system is practically foolproof. However, the question in my mind is, should we require compulsory chapel at tendance ? Although compulsory chapel at tendance serves as a motive for pulling potential late-sleepers out of the sack, I can't help but feel tha t compulsory religion is wrong, t ha t our own religious convictions SHOULD BE the only motive we need fo r mak-ing chapel every morning. Most of us, however, would not meet even a 70% attendance if the present system were replaced by a non-compulsory system, which reveals ei ther a weakness in our own personal convictions or a weakness in the quality of the average chapel service.

Why Academic Homecoming? The fac t tha t many alumni possess a continuing interest in

their alma mater a f t e r they leave the campus through graduation, or otherwise, is well known. Homecomings have f o r years been accepted by colleges and universities as ways and means to culti-vate this interest . * .

In addition to providing opportunities for meet ing fellow alumni personally and allowing fo r a review of some of the recrea-tional aspects of college life, it seems logical to broaden the event to include the academic phase of college experience.

Although some universities had done something about this on their campuses earlier, we learned of a very successful "home-coming with a difference" f rom Grinnell College in Iowa staged in October 1957. The Hope College administration consulted staff members, student council, and alumni and were encouraged to t r y this innovation on our campus.

So in October, 1958, the first Academic Homecoming came into being a t Hope. Reactions f rom various groups of alumni were so favorable tha t the college consented to hold another one this year . The committee has at tempted to keep most of the flavor of the traditional homecoming but has added the opportunity fo r some genuine mental stimulation in various disciplines. Men and women coming back to the campus f rom a work-a-day world seem eager and ready fo r it.

This is how we come to Academic Homecoming — October 1G-17, 1959.

As I See It

I think, as much as anyone, Mrs. Lubbers and I look forward to meeting our f r iends and fo rmer classmates at Homecoming. We hope that you also will enjoy renewing fr iendships during the weekend's many activities.

It is our pleasure, f o r the second year, to include the academic program with the traditional f ea tu res of Homecoming. Through these meetings may you gain increased insight into many of the problems confronting us.

In keeping with the theme of the Academic Homecoming, "Ex-panding Front iers in the Space Age" we are happy to announce tha t our college campus is expanding its frontiers . The Board of Trustees has announced a three million dollar expansion cam-paign in order t ha t Hope may be able to meet the demands of this space age. Goals of the campaign are a new library, labora-tory-classroom building, athletic field, fine a r t s building ( through reconstruction of the old l ibrary) , and additional endowment.

We are confident tha t , with the support of loyal alumni, parents, fr iends of business and industry, the church, and fr iends of the college, we will meet and exceed our goal.

We have part icular pleasure in being hosts to our neighbors f rom Kalamazoo College. In all phases of college life we have been comrades in competition always recognizing each other 's prowess. It is g ra t i fy ing too welcome such an enthusiastic dele-gation to our celebration.

Our hope is tha t as you leave the campus you will feel in-creased loyalty and enthusiasm for your Alma Mater.

Letter to the Editor

Present Bidding System Under Criticism EDITOR'S NOTE

Because of the length of Miss Klaaren's letter, the ANCHOR was unable to print the entire text . For those students inter-ested in reading the entire let-ter, please contact any sorority president for her copy of this letter.

Shif t ing our attention f rom the house part ies to the meeting of the soph, girls, we see a con-t ras t ing at t i tude of serious thought as the girls list the sororities they want in the or-der which they wan t them. Yet, a t this very meeting, I fel t the ridiculousness of the situation when I had to tell the girls, "Don' t count too highly on get-t ing your top choices. Too many of you may want the same sorority . . . and some of you may be unhappy since our quota system requires tha t our societies be kept relatively

equal in size of membership. However, all of you will receive a bid f r o m a sorori ty."

Here we arr ive a t the crux of the entire m a t t e r : Why should a girl belong to a sorority at all if she cannot belong to the one she wants?

How did you decide tha t you wanted to belong to a sorori ty? Wasn ' t your decision based up-on tha t fac t t h a t there was a particular group of girls of whom you wanted to be a p a r t ?

The Clearing House, com-posed of the senior Pan-Hellenic

representatives f rom each so-rority, has the extremely diffi-cult and t rying task of deter-mining which girls each sorority may bid.

Although we didn't intend to severely criticize our sorority bidding system at our Sept. 15 house parties, we did precisely tha t when we rated the soph, girls. Remember our comments . . . "This takes all night (yawn) . . . so many girls to rate. I don't know who three-four ths of these kids are. Oh, jus t fill a number in . . . it won't make much difference."

Under our present system, the number of girls eligible to be bid is divided by 10. This quotient indicates how many I ' s , 2's, 3's, . . . 10's, each in-dividual girl assigns to those who are eligible. A f t e r the counting and tabulation of all the ballots, each sorority makes a list of the gir ls in rank order, the girls with the lowest num-ber of votes a t the top. This list, kept within the confidence of the Clearing Board, is com-pared with the preferences of the girls desiring to join.

The paradox of the number workings of our system is tha t the number itself does not al-ways tells the t ru th — it's the WHY behind the number!

As soon as we ask why the number was given, we are deal-ing with the personali ty of the girl. And if the complete soro-rities a t the house part ies didn't

know all the girls, how can one expect five Senior Pan-Hellenic members to know them all?

I t is so evident tha t we need to vastly change or abolish completely our present bidding system that it seems almost superfluous to s ta te it. Until 1950, Hope sororities employed rushing. Then our present sys-tem was adopted. And since 1950, although our college has made many other changes be-cause of increased enrollment, our bidding system has remain-ed essentially the same!

There are more f reshman girls this year than ever be-fore in the history of Hope. How many of them will you know by bidding t ime next fall ? Will the sororities be able to take them all? Must we create another new sorority, and then two years later perhaps create still another? This would hard-ly be even a temporary solu-tion . . .

I t has been said t h a t if we adopted a rushing program some sororities would definitely weaken and in the next couple years die out al together. How-ever, if this were to be the case, i t would be the f au l t of the so-rority, and not the system whereby new gir ls are obtained! And the initiative and inde-pendence belonging to each college girl would be challenged, as to whether she received the bid she wanted or not.

by Ron Chandler .

Generally speaking, the United States and Canada have en-joyed a relationship which has been conspicuously peaceful fo r almost one hundred years. Both countries have pointed with justi-fiable pride to the fac t tha t the world's longest unfort if ied common f ron t ie r separates Canada and the U.S.

I think tha t Americans and Canadians alike can well be proud of such an amicable relationship. But I f ea r tha t Americans have come to take our neighbor to the north too much for granted. There is evidence of growing tensions between Ottawa and Washington which must not be taken lightly by the citizens of ei ther nation.

Canada is much more than the nation of mounted policemen of movie and television fame, and remote havens for adventurous American outdoorsmen.

Canada is a nation of immense potential wealth and a growing population which has just recently begun to develop a s trong sense of national identity. Though loyal to the British Crown, Canada is ful ly independent, and Canadians strongly resent being t reated as a third or four th ra te power.

Present sources of friction between Canada and the U.S. seem largely, though not entirely, rooted in economics. Canada is America's best customer, and has been for a long time. Though we sell more goods to Canada than to any other country, we have not shown a sufficient degree of willingness to buy goods in re turn f rom Canada.

The result of our discriminations agains t some of Canada's chief products has been the creation of an unfavorable balance of t rade for Canada. Canada, like the United States, produces more wheat than her population can consume. In many instances, our programs of surplus wheat disposal have seriously upset the Canadian pat tern of wheat sales in foreign markets .

To Canadians, the most distressing aspect of Canadian-American economic relations is undoubtedly the fact the U.S. is practicing economic imperialism north of the border on a large scale.

While Americans loudly decry imperialism in its more obvious fo rms in Afr ica and Asia, American control of key Canadian in-dustries has grown to the point where many responsible Canadians are voicing expressions of a larm concerning fu tu re Canadian economic development.

I t is conceivable tha t a decision based on the needs of our own economy could be made, let us say, in Detroit tha t could have adverse affects on the Canadian economy.

Canada would like very much to carry on an increased volume of trade with Red China. Canadian public opinion is also general-ly in favor of recognition of the mainland regime, and we may one day find Canada voting in favor of admit t ing Communist China to membership in the United Nations.

Canada is determined to tai lor its foreign policy to suit Canadian needs and interests, but somehow we in this country take Canada for granted to the point of assuming tha t Canada will support our policies regardless of whether those policies are in the interests of any country other than the United States.

Though America continues to offer "counsel" to Canada by enjoining her to hold f a s t to our policy of non-recognition and severely limited intercourse with Communist China, it seems tha t we will have to re-think our position if increased tensions with Canada over this question are to be avoided.

For those who would minimize the importance of Canada as our par tner in the defense of western ideals and civilization, it might be well to consider the possible implications to us of a neutral and totally disarmed Canada.

Such a possibility should not be passed off as unlikely specu-lation. Control of Canadian-American defense of North America has been largely taken over by this country. Native Canadian a i rc ra f t production schedules have been cut to the bone in favor of a i rc ra f t and missiles produced in the U. S. Canada has devoted a large share of her budget to defense.

Now that the larger share of funds for missiles, etc., are being paid out to U.S. concerns, Canadians might decide that the burden is now too great . We might consider the possible results of losing the early warning system in the Arctic regions of Canada if our northern neighbor were to become a neutral nation.

We share more than a continent with our Canadian fr iends. We share a common ideological and cultural heritage. We must not forge t tha t questions of common interest cannot be dealt with in a more or less a rb i t ra ry manner by only one member in a par tnership if t ha t par tnership is to survive and to continue to have meaning.

If we cannot develop a greater sensitivity to the problems that are close to us, how can we face the myriad of difficulties with which our position of world leadership constrains us to deal around the globe?

HISTORY . . . (Cont'd on page 3)

In 1878, the ninety-eight stu-

dents included t w o women, Hope's first.

During t ha t time the s t rug-gling school, although supported by its Christian people, incurr-ed many debts, and the Synod decided to draw up a new con-stitution in order to keep it f rom f u r t h e r debt.

Unlike many other church-related colleges, Hope did not sacrifice the mat te r s of the spirit as it delved fu r the r into the mat te r s of the mind. Ra-ther it expanded in order to contain equal shares of both.

Perhaps Hope's success can be at t r ibuted to the complete-ness of the education which it offers.

"To educate the whole of l i fe" is Hope's purpose and as it recognizes the ful lness of the spiritual l ife and necessity of the physical, it seeks to pre-pare its s tudents f o r a g rea t e r experience in both.

WTAS Enlarging Program Offerings For Listeners Variety of Programs

Offered To Campust Students by Don Paar lberg

WTAS is the Hope College radio station. It is a carr ier cur-rent radio station owned and operated by students. WTAS broad-casts seven days a week exclusively to the students on the campus.

The programs offered include study music, classical music, jazz, and popular music. There is also a widely diversified pro-gram schedule of educational presentations and broadcasts of many student functions.

One of the newest services to the campus is the broadcasting of selected classical material which supplements required listening for music l i tera ture classes.

The broadcasting studio is located in the basement of Kollen Hall. The up-to-date equipment which has been installed and is in use is supplemented by an extensive record library.

This past year has been spent building the studio and install-ing the equipment. While this work was being done, WTAS man-aged to maintain up to eight hours a day of programming.

All records received by WTAS are promotional material . The only charge made to the stat ion fo r these records is handling and postage charges. Except fo r the addition of new equipment, opera-tion expenses are covered by advertising accounts.

The positions on the staff of WTAS are open to any student who can maintain a 2.0 grade average. At present, the staff is made up of about fifty students, including announcers and engin-eers.

Plans are now in action fo r the fu tu re of WTAS. One of the plans for the immediate f u t u r e is the playing of selected dinner music in all the campus dining halls. WTAS also hopes to have fu ture lines to the women's cottages, the new women's dormitory, and the off-campus f ra te rn i ty houses.

The executive council fo r the year 1959-60 includes Lois Bon-nema. General Manager ; Bob Van Etten, Technical Director; Paul Dalman, Music Librarian; and Chuck Hale, Program Director. The WTAS facul ty advisor is Robert L. Smith, professor in the Speech Department .

Presenting New Programs

Over Station This Year by Virginia Top

The first and only speaking program, "We the People," can now be heard every Monday from 7:00 to 7:15 p.m. on the college radio station, WTAS.

Ekdal Buys, the director, and a special guest will discuss and analyze various political, econ-omic, social, and religious is-sues. I t is hoped tha t these programs will create a g rea te r interest among the student body in government.

Some of the special guests to be interviewed in the near fut-ure will be Representative Ford, Senator Geerlings, a Catholic Father, and a member of the Teamsters' Union.

For those of you who keep late hours on the weekend or who enjoy ta lking over your date of the evening to the tune of lovely and quiet music, WTAS has extended the Fr i -day and Saturday night musical programs to 1:00 a.m.

In the future WTAS is hop-ing that each college depart-ment will be able to have some time each week to present a special program. An exemple

of this cooperation between the departments and WTAS would be playing assigned records for the Music Li terature class at a certain time each week.

Recordings of the I.R.C. meet-ings could be broadcasted in connection with the history and political science department .

As a whole the programs be-ing offered this year are much the same as last year. I t is interesting to note t ha t of all the hours of broadcasting only 8 are rock 'n roll music, while 72 are classical, mood, or pop-ular music.

WTAS would appreciate any comments or suggestions tha t you may have about the pro-grams. Anyone who is interest-ed in working fo r WTAS can sign up fo r an audition with Chuck Hale a t Kollen Hall.

Origin Of Station in Koiien

by Pete Geitner

WTAS had its beginning ear-

ly in the school year of 1956-

57 when two students s tar ted

broadcasting with a small home-

built t ransmi t te r and the i r own

equipment. They even were

forced to use their own rooms

as studios.

WTAS continued broadcast-

ing all that year to only the

men of Kollen Hall. They vig-

orously supported the effort by

put t ing in time as announcers

and lending their records to the station.

By the fall of tha t year

WTAS had reached a place of

considerable notice on the cam-

pus. Having gained this recog-

nition many petitions were cir-

culated requesting campus-wide

broadcasts.

In response to the students '

petitions t h e administration

consented to build a modern studio in Kollen Hall basement. This new studio was to be fitted with up-to-date broadcasting equipment.

The following year was spent building the studio and install-ing the new equipment. While all this was going on 15 hours of programming per day were still being given to the college community.

At the present WTAS is still expanding to meet the demands of an ever growing audience. It hopes tha t with the college's and the Holland advertisers ' help it may provide the Holland area with F.M. reception in the near fu ture .

Hope Homecoming: Too Academic?

By Milton Nieuwsma

WHERE 'S T H E Q U E E N ? With all the "ex t ras" thrown into Homecoming this year, many people around campus—especially upperclassmen who remember what Homecoming used to be— question their significance.

A number of s tudents were asked their opinions of this year 's socalled academic Homecoming, and the views expressed by most of them indicated little interest in the academic pa r t of it.

"Why all those lectures and classroom discussions?" was the grievance of many. "Why not bring back jus t the corona-tion, pep rally, football game, the dance and other things tha t go with Homecoming?" the oldsters complained.

"Even the Homecoming theme, "Expanding Front iers in the Space Age," sounds more appropriate f o r a convention of "egg-heads" (intellectuals) than for a Homecoming celebration," — one f rank opinion.

• * *

HOPE'S PSYCHOLOGY DEPARTMENT, under the direction of Dr. De Haan, sought a $1,200 appropriat ion f rom the Kent County Board of Supervisors this week to continue a program of rehabil i tat ing young first offenders.

The appropriation, if approved, will carry through May the program now under way at the Kent County jail in Grand Rapids.

Psych students could s ta r t their rehabilitation program right here on campus with those young vandals who tore up the new women's dorm one night last week.

THEY COULD FOLLOW THE EXAMPLE set by Bob Fisher, John Lubbers and a few others in Pale t te and Masque who have their goals set on religious drama and Broadway. They know where to ge t their s tar t .

Top acting talent can be seen in Karel Capek's production of "R.U.R." — an appropr ia te Homecoming "ex t ra" — Saturday a t 8:30 p.m. and Monday a t 8:15 p.m.

A reminder to all s tudents : Tryouts fo r the next all-college play, T.S. Elliot 's "Murder in the Cathedral ," will be held Mon-day and Tuesday a t 4 p.m. on the four th floor of the Science Building. Scripts are available in Mr. De Witt ' s office.

LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON may sound a bit trite, but it still holds true. Holland High seniors Brian Dykstra, son of philoso-phy department head, and David Hollenbach, son of Hope veep, showed their intellectual ability by moving up to the semifinals in National Merit Scholarship competition.

Dave presently is t ak ing an intermediate French course on campus, and both he and Brian will be full-fledged f reshmen next year.

HOPE'S SECOND CONTRIBUTION to big league baseball, J im Kaat , has decided to play ball in Nicaragua this winter in-stead of coming back to school. The Zeeland lef thander , who served briefly with the Washington Senators last summer, feels the way to make the ma jo r s is to keep playing baseball the year around.

Alumnus George Zuverink, Hope's first contribution to the major leagues, eyes a spot on the Baltimore Orioles pitching staff next season a f t e r a sore arm caused him to slip back to the minors last summer.

WILFRED BUTLER, JR., executive editor of the Vienna Sum-mer School edition of the Anchor and a member of Holland's noted newspaper family (Wilfred, Sr., runs the Sentinel), has been named public relations director of Calliope, a student l i terary magazine at Western Michigan University.

He managed to get his new position without a pull this time so he must have ability.

Accent on Music! / *

by Greg Bryson The music depar tment has grea t plans fo r enter taining and

educating our campus again this year. Many guest ar t i s ts will be heard on campus as well as at the Civic Concert Series. Various lecitals and concerts will be held to which all s tudents are cordial-ly invited.

The Chapel Choir, composed of seventy-one voices, will tour the eastern s ta tes next spring, climaxing the tour by singing on the grea t s tage of the Radio City Music Hall in New York City on Eas ter Morning a t the Dawn Service. Already the choir has begun regular rehearsals prepar ing themselves for their campus and community appearances.

The music depar tment in cooperation with WTAS will sponsor a musical program on Monday and Wednesday evenings. This program will be required listening fo r anyone taking Music 17, "Survey of Music Li terature." However, all students are urged and invited to enjoy the fine music which will be presented.

At the present time every branch of the department is ex-tremely busy get t ing ready fo r Homecoming appearances. The newly enlarged Marching Band, led by Mr. Schaberg, will partici-pate in the parade, and again a t the Hope-Kalamazoo game. The Men's Choir, under the direction of Mr. Roger Rietberg, will also perform on the field, singing a s t i r r ing ar rangement of "I Love Life."

Climaxing the weekend's festivities, is the Homecoming Ves-per Service, to be held Sunday afternoon, October 18 a t 3:00 P.M. in Dimnent Memorial Chapel. The theme of the service is "I Am The Way, The Truth, and The Life." Both the Chancel and Chapel Choirs will provide the anthems, assisted by vocal and instrumental soloists.

The s t r ing section of the Symphonette will play f rom the chapel balcony.

A fea ture of Homecoming Vespers is the traditional "Tower Music." This year, the music f rom the tower will be tha t of Thomas Canning, a contemporary composer, commissioned by Hope to write a work especially for the college.

The music department urges all to attend this very worship-ful and inspiring vesper service as a fit t ing climax to Homecoming 1959.

Review: A Death In A Family (Cont'd f rom page 5)

haps in this simplicity lies its naturalness, its humanity. A Death in the Family is just tha t : The sudden stopping of the life of one member of the Follett family; namely, the hus-band.

Author Agee's interest is not so much in the death of the man, but in the reactions of his wife, his children and his rela-tives.

The author 's theme is so ob-vious as to be missed by many readers who demand a more complex and often symbolic problem.

James Agee is not concerned with a problem which often is not related to the reader. He says simply and eloquently tha t death is not always the enemy

of mankind, but tha t through WTAS Radio Schedule

meaning of death and of love in the face of death.

I t is ironic tha t James Agee wrote so well of humanity as pictured in its moments of glo-ry during periods of despair, for suddenly, at the age of for-ty-five, James Agee himself came face to face with the Death tha t he wanted readers not to fear .

On May 16, 1955, he died of a hear t at tack, and two years la ter on May 5, 1958, he re-ceived the Pulitzer Prize post-humously, and will undoubtedly be remembered as the man who, according to Alfred Kazin, "Has a power with English words which can make you gasp."

death we are all drawn closer together in order tha t we may see the sometimes puzzling course of our own lives.

There is no sentimentality in-volved in his writing of this. At all times the poetic prose is forceful and objective, while it seems at the same time soft and subjective.

This is a story of a t ragedy. Not t ragedy in epic te rms such as the death of a nation or a beloved Lord, but t ragedy which is "human."

Tragedy which takes us and wrenches us away f rom our complacent existences and forc-es us to see through a glass clearly: not a t the sufferings of Mary Follett, or Aunt Hannah, or Andrew, or even the chil-dren ( for these characters are only ourselves with different names) but the t ragedy of man-kind's s t ruggle against forces which it does not understand, being reenacted over and over again, not in one time or one place, but in all t imes and all places.

We come out of the tortuous path of human suffering, our-selves understanding as we have never before understood, the

Brazil

Spends Seven Weeks As Community Ambassador

by Linda Gordon

As Holland's Community Am-bassador fo r 1959, I spent seven weeks in Brazil this summer. I lived with a Brazilian family for one month and spent three weeks in various cities which represent the past, present and fu ture of the country.

ALEXANDER'S

Your Fashion Store

Linda a n d a close f r iend p a u s e in Brazil.

Nine other Experimenters in International Living le f t New York City with me on June 27. Our Transcontinental airl iner arrived the following day in Sao Paulo, which is the largest city in Brazil with a population of three and a half million.

For five days, we had an orientation period in Sao Paulo. The Cultural Union of Brazil and the United States aided us in becoming acquainted with Brazilian culture, the economy and the people. This was the beginning of our Experiment, which was aimed at promoting friendship and understanding between Americans and Bra-zilians.

The Fourth of July was our first day with our Brazilian families. Several of the Ame-ricans remained in Sao Paulo, but most of us lived in other cities near this metropolis.

I lived in Braganca Paulista, a city of about 20,000 people. Although Braganca's popula-tion is about the same as Hol-land's, the appearance of the city is completely different.

The stores, there are small and most of them are open in the front, without show win-dows. At night, metal gates slide down for p r o t e c t i o n against burglars. The homes are old and come r ight up to the sidewalk. The s t r e e t s , which are very steep, are of cobblestone.

I soon found tha t high heels are impractical in such a place. Braganca's central square is about the only level area in town. From there, the s t reets slope down in all four directions.

The family of Manoel Stefani, which whom I stayed, was very friendly and made me feel com-pletely a t home. Senor and Se-nora Stefani have three daugh-ters, ages 11, 10 and seven. The family, which owns many cof-fee plantations, is one of the wealthiest in Braganca.

We found tha t every minute of every day was a real ex-periment fo r we were experi-menting with a new language,

new food, new dances and new friendships.

My Brazilian mother is the only one in the family who speaks English. Her husband and the girls can say "good morning," "good n ight" and a few other phrases in English. But I managed to learn enough Portuguese so that I was able to carry on a simple conversa-tion with them.

The language barrier certain-ly was not serious enough to prevent us f rom becoming very close friends, and I really feel that they are my Brazilian " fa -mily."

While I was in Braganca, I became acquainted with many other families. Af te r I at tend-ed some meetings of the Eng-lish Club there, the various members invited me to their homes. I also got to know some of the young people in town and we had some wonder-ful t imes together.

One of my most pleasant me-mories of Braganca is the night that three boys with wonderful voices and a guitar serenaded me. The Brazilians are so friendly and hospitable. They like the United States and are anxious to know the American people.

When the Americans took a two-week t r ip together, we were accompanied by nine Brazilians, members of our families. We began by visiting Belo Horizan-te, Brazil 's first planned city.

The most interesting par t of our t r ip was a visit to Brasilia, the fu tu re capital of Brazil. This spectacularly modern city is being built in the center of the Country on land which, six years ago, had not even been passed over by an airplane.

A f t e r seeing the f u t u r e cap-ital, we went to Rio, site of the government 's headquarters at the present time. While in Rio, besides enjoying beautiful Co-pacabana Beach, we went to the tops of two famous mountains. Sugar Loaf and Corcovado.

From there, we had marvel-ous views of the city, the moun-tains, the ocean and Guanabara Bay. We visited the Senate, where we saw the present gov-ernment at work; and also the palace of Don Pedro II, who was emperor of Brazil in the late 19th century.

Wherever we went, we made many wonderful friends. It was t ruly a great experience to be able to get to know and love the people of another country.

I think the Experiment in In-ternational Living is an excel-lent way to gain fr iendship be-tween different countries. I certainly have a feeling of closeness with the Brazilians and now it is up to me to ex-tend this fr iendship to the people of Holland, and to all Americans.

As Holland's Community Am-bassador, I am giving speeches and showing pictures of Brazil to all the groups which spon-sored my trip. Most Brazilians have an extremely good impres-sion of Americans, and now I am earnestly a t tempt ing to gain a parallel feeling f rom the people of Holland, Michigan.

President Addresses Council Direct Purpose Goals Mechanics

by Rowland Van E s

The general direction our council is to take is not radical-ly different f rom that proposed by any sound student govern-ment. We have a twofold duty — one is not to eliminate the other in any sense.

1.) We must bring action on all mat ters which are brought to us. This means genuine, meaningful, and prompt action. This also means gaining possi-bilities for action if they are not presently open to us. We must assume some responsibili-ties if necessary.

2.) The second duty, or, more correctly, the reverse side of this coin of direction, is to crystal-lize the student thinking in cer-tain areas, to focus their atten-tion where it is needed, to bring to bear mat ters of importance which, as a whole, they would allow to slip by the boards.

With our direction set, we must determine our purpose.

Ideally then, our purpose is first of all to leave the council and student body in a better position than what we s ta r t out in. We want to strengthen it in the esteem of all those whose eyes fall on us — students who look to us fo r advice, help, sup-port; the facul ty who look to us f o r response, help, ideas; and outsiders who look to us as leaders of their college.

We want to s t rengthen our voice in the control of college affairs f o r the seemingly mun-dane purpose of continuing to a t t rac t the highest in potential of the leadership on campus, fo r this is important fo r sustaining the quality of the life of the council.

We must s t a r t the snowball-ing effect which will lead f rom a stronger council to greater opportunities to a more vital college community, to enriched

lives, and new horizons and on. And a f t e r this ideal side, what

are our goals — what are the s tepping stones toward this point?

Toward a s trengthened coun-cil we will work fo r a clear-cut position in the college set-up — making council the epitome of decision in campus community life, with the respective men's and women's governing bodies directly responsible to us and having a direct liaison with the administrative segment of our campus community.

Toward an enriched campus community life we will progress toward self sufficiency in the closest we can come to a stu-dent union, opening up Jul iana fo r a place where we as Hope College men and women can ga ther for relaxation, enjoy-ment, and general enrichment of interchange of ideas.

Toward a more conducive at-mosphere of constructive total education we will initiate the implementation of an honor system.

Included also will be the goals of the s tudent body, our constituents, as they present and suggest them.

Being a practical organiza-tion with ideal purposes and practical goals, what are the mechanics tha t will be employ-ed in the process of realization ?

Each and every one of us must completely fulfill our re-sponsibili t ies— not jus t fill our positions as a bump fills its position on a log — but to make the council our first obligation, of prime importance in our re-sponsibilities, keeping ourselves f r ee and uncluttered f r o m other details in clubs and various ac-tivities.

Hope College Student Coun-cil f o r 1959-60, th is is our chal-lenge, this is our privilege, this is our obligation!

land plans entering the Chris-tian ministery in the Reformed Church of America.

Among Rowland's most im-portant duties are representing the student body and being chairman at all the Student Council meetings.

Joan Schroeder, a senior f rom Calgary, Alberta, Canada is this year 's S.C. vice-president.

Since Joan is practice teach-ing a high school sophomore English class, she would like to confine herself to her sorority. Sibylline, and the S.C. In the few spare moments tha t Joan has, she enjoys music and read-ing.

Some of her duties, besides being the president's assistant, include: being chairman of the date book for all college events and being responsible for initi-ating action on committee pro-gress and policies.

Student Council t reasurer , Cal Bruins, is a junior f rom Wanpun, Wisconsin.

Cal belongs to the Cosmopoli-tan Fraterni ty , is a member of the Y and in his f r e shman year ran on the Cross Country team. He is pre-med and is thinking about doing veterinary work.

Since the S.C. is a non-profit organization, Cal handles the bills fo r S.C. but all t rans-actions are made through the college business office.

This past summer, Cal repre-sented Hope at the 12th Annual Congress of the U.S. National Student Association which was held in Illinois.

A junior from Grand Rapids, Mary Decker is S.C. recording secretary.

Her previous activities in-clude: t reasurer o f H o u s e Board, Society Edi tor of Mile-stone, WAA, WAL and the Del-phi Sorority.

Mary plans to teach the 5th grade of elementary school and has lots of experience a t home as she has five younger sisters.

Besides taking minutes a t all the Student Council meetings, Mary also serves on the execu-tive board which meets before each meeting to plan an outline fo r discussion a t the regular S. C. meetings.

CAMPUS RESPONSIBILITIES Under Student Council jurisdiction are such important campus

responsibilities as the scheduling of all college events in the date book, and f reshmen orientation.

Last year the Council was in charge of opening the Kletz at night, a practice to be continued again this year.

The upperclass counselling program a t f reshmen regis tra-tion is also organized by the Council. Activities sponsored an-nually are the pull, Nykerk, and the par ty the Saturday night of Homecoming weekend.

F U T U R E PLANS VARY Future plans of the Council are many and varied. Prepara-

tions are being made to publish a student handbook. This is a joint project with the men of the Blue Key.

Opening the Jul iana Room on Fr iday nights as a type of Student Union is also being considered. In the more general plans, work is being done on establishing an honor system at Hope.

As a representat ive group of the student body, the Council strives to give at tention to any and all mat ters concerning Hope through the use of five s tanding committees.

COMMITTEES FUNCTION These committees are : Educational Affairs Committee whose

purpose is to formulate policies concerning education and process them through proper channels, and act as a public relations com-mittee; Religious Affairs Committee which is responsible for the religious program on campus, including chapel; Student Affairs Committee covers the complaints of the s tudents ; Social Affairs Committee plans an adequate program of recreation fo r the col-lege; Cultural Affairs Committee acts as co-ordinator fo r the s tudent-facul ty cultural committee. In addition to these s tanding committees, special committees are appointed when the need arises.

The major i ty of the Student Council members and officers are elected in the Spring. However, each Fall two members at large are chosen by the Council f rom students who have appeared before the entire Council explaining why they are interested in Council work.

Hope Plays Host To

Kalamazoo College Tomorrow Tomorrow, Hope College will be the host of Kalamazoo Col-

lege in the annual Homecoming football game. " K " College as it is known to Hopeites is similar to and yet

different f rom Hope in many ways. Kalamazoo College has an enrollment of about 650 students, led by a faculty of about 75.

The campus is located only a few blocks f r o m the heart of Kalamazoo much like Hope's re-lationship to Holland.

Kalamazoo is a co-ed school offering a Bachelor of Arts de-gree to its graduates . It was founded by the Baptists in 1833 and is still owned and operated by the Baptists. This makes it a church supported school, just as Hope is.

The basic aims and goals of the college are listed in their catalogue.

The college "places a definite emphasis upon scholarly attain-ment combined with the de-velopment of personality."

They also aim to " t ra in young men and women in a Christian environment fo r constructive partnership in society and to orient them in the values of contemporary culture."

Kalamazoo College offers a wide variety of courses much like Hope. Majors are available in the area of foreign languag-es, Natural Sciences, the Huma-nities, or the Social Sciences.

In addition to the regular

Bachelor of Arts degree in these fields, "K" College also offers some graduate study.

The college also contains many organizations similar to those found on Hope's campus. They have a Student Body, like our Student Council, and a Stu-dent Senate.

They also have a Women's League and a Men's Union. There is also an opportunity for those who like to sing to join one of the several choirs on campus.

Although Kalamazoo College is only about half the size of Hope they have a large campus of 47 acres with several build-ings.

To mention a few, there is Stetson Chapel, Mandvelle Li-brary, Olds Science Hall, Upton Science Hall, Tredway Gymna-sium and several others.

Kalamazoo College has the same basic requirements fo r graduation as Hope. A person must have a 2.0 average in or-der to receive his diploma.

Scha berg Cosmos Defending

For Greater Game Spirit

Intramural Sporfs Program Swinging Into Action

A newcomer to the Hope

campus this year is Mr. Scha-

berg, the director of the college

band.

Mr. Roy Schaberg

Before moving to Holland, Mr. Schaberg was a life resi-dent of Lansing, Michigan. He attended Oberlin College, Michi-gan State University, and the Eas tman School of Music. Next summer Mr. Schaberg will com-plete his Master 's degree at the Eas tman School of Music.

The new band director is very enthusiastic about Hope's fifty-piece band. He says the band has a g rea t amount of spirit and tha t it puts on a splendid per-formance, in spite of the fac t tha t it rehearses only two hours a week.

Mr. Schaberg would like the students a t Hope to learn the song, "Anchors of Hope," which was wri t ten by Dr. Rider. The band will play this song at the next half-t ime show.

He would also like the stu-dent body to begin a tradit ional parade shortly before game time f rom the campus to Riverview Park . The cheerleaders would lead this parade" supported by the college band.

Let 's all get behind our new band director and support him and our fine band.

by Tim Vander Mel and Ray Ritsema The Hope College men's intramural sports program swung

into action last week under the tutelage of Daryl Siedentop, col-lege intramural manager .

Athletic competition between the f ra te rn i t ies is always a keen and colorful phase of campus life. The 1959-1960 seasons be-gan with the scheduling of the football, tennis, and golf pro-grams.

Other sports included on the in t ramural agenda fo r '59-60 are ping-pong, t rack, volleyball, handball, bowling, softball, and basketball.

The in t ramural sports pro-gram is made available to all male members of the student body. Independent teams are eligible for intramural competi-tion although they may not re-ceive the All-Sports-Trophy.

The program is invaluable not only as a wholesome activity where the male constituents of our student body may indulge in heal thful sport , but it also provides an incentive fo r f r a t e r -nity group spirit.

At the outcome of the school year, the f ra te rn i ty which has compiled the largest point total, is rewarded for its efforts with the presentation of the coveted All-Sports-Trophy.

Last year, the Cosmopolitan Fra te rn i ty walked off with the All-Sports-Trophy a f t e r a close and hectic batt le with the Fra t -ers and the Knicks. Individual sports saw the Cosmos tr iumph-ing in only two sports, bowling and volleyball, however, they amassed a wealth of second places to create the necessary winning point total.

The Fra te r s walked off with first places in basketball, hand-ball, and the May Day track meet, while the Knickerbocker Fra te rn i ty garnered points f o r first places in golf and football.

The in t ramural sports pro-gram will without a doubt be supplemented again this year with the winter sports appro-priation of an ice rink.

The feasibili ty of such a pro-gram was thus proven, and plans are underway to make this an annual project.

Hunting Season Opens

by Don Piersma Hunting season will "official-

ly" open fo r Holland on Tues-day, October 20. Holland hunt-ers will be on the prowl fo r the male ring-necked pheasant, the most abundant catch in the area.

Actually, the official opening day was October 1, with geese and duck being pursued. But H o l l a n d residents, combined with Hope students, claim Oc-tober 20 as their day: pheasant day. This is proven by the sound of rifles and the empty seats in the classrooms.

The deer season opened Oc-tober 1, with some success. Along with the deer, rabbit, fox, woodchuck, ruffed grouse, prai-rie chicken, and smaller birds are also found in this area.

The raising of the bag limit to three pheasants was hoped fo r by many people. However, the insufficient supply forced it to remain at two pheasants.

Slightly bet ter hunting is an-ticipated this season, however, for ruffed grouse; woodchuck shooting will possibly be as good as last year ' s ; and Michi-gan feels its deer hunting will be about average in spite of s tarvation losses last winter.

The only new arms improve-ment was made by the Reming-ton Company. I t came out with a nylon stock to replace the con-ventional wood stock.

With an average supply of small game and the resident li-cense priced a t only $3.00, the area should feel the vibration f rom both Holland and Hope ar-mament on opening day.

Friday's Open House Evaluated by Arlene Billin

For the first t ime in about

ten years, Hope College held an

open house for all those in the

Holland area on Friday evening,

October 9.

No poll was taken of the

number of people who attended, but it is approximated a t 1000.

This number was "a bit dis-

appointing to me," reports Dr.

Hollenbach.

However, " the reactions and

s ta tements of those who did

come indicates tha t they were

highly appreciative and f re-

quently great ly surprised a t the extent of our program and the

"I was especially pleased with

the excellence of the exhibits

and demonstrat ions and the

very fine cooperation of the stu-

dents and faculty. We were real

hosts."

Because of the ra ther small

community by which Hope is

surrounded, it is unnecessary to

make this an annual affair. It

probably will not, therefore, be

repeated again fo r quite some time.

by "TY" Kleis

A coach is one who has usually s tarred in the particular sport he is coaching. If not s ta r r ing in a heroic role, a plebian role such as knowing thoroughly every fundamental of the sport.

He experiences r ight along with 'his' boys the same sensations at kick-off's. The same contraction of the stomach muscles when a long pass is heaved. The awful and dreadful feeling when you lose a game, which you so badly wanted to win.

But also a coach will share in the glorious, almost celestial aura of winning a game over an arch-rival such as Calvin. Let 's look a t the men who have guided our boys through an undefeated year thus fa r .

The head coach is Russell DeVette, who is f a s t becoming one of the most successful small college coaches in the country.

Coach DeVette is beginning his fifth year as head grid men-tor of the "Flying Dutchmen". In four years under his coaching the orange and blue have advanced f rom a 4-5 record in 1955 to a 4-4 in '56, 7-2 in '57, and finally to a record breaking 8-1 in 1958.

His five wins and one loss in conference competition brought him his first grid championship, a three-way tie with Albion and Hillsdale.

Af te r leaving Muskegon High School, he entered Hope College and graduated in 1947. During the next year he gained his Master 's Degree at the University of Michigan, and in the fall of 1948 he returned to his Alma Mater as Backfield Coach and Head Basketball Coach.

In 1951 he again entered the service, the U.S. Marines, and served for two years. Following this he became Backfield Coach and Head Basketball Coach a t the University of Maine in Orono.

He returned to Holland in 1955 to assume the head coaching responsibilities in the three major sports : football, basketball and baseball. In a following issue I shall discuss his enviable 'cage' record he has accumulated.

The man who coaches the 'Unsung heroes', the linemen is Gordon Brewer. Molding and making a s trong forward line is the difficult task of this 1948 Hope graduate.

Feared throughout the M.I.A.A. fo r their rugged rough line play, the Hope lines have steadily improved under his eagle eye. He not only preaches the theory tha t a good defense is a good offense but also practices it.

As Gord enters his four th year, he's faced with the challenge of replacing last year 's two main s talwarts . Little All-American, All-State, All MIAA, league's M.V.P., tackle Lar ry Ter Molen and All-State, All-MIAA guard Don Paarlberg.

Upon graduation from Hope, Brewer began teaching and coaching at Byron Center. He then star ted upon a successful coaching tenure at Grand Rapids Kelloggsville High School, broken up in 1952 by a year at the University of Michigan where he at-tained his Master 's Degree.

A f t e r being appointed to the Hope faculty in 1956, he not only quickly attained the s ta tus of one of Michigan's finest young line coaches but also became Head Track and Reserve Basketball Coach. Brewer, like DeVette serves as an Ins t ructor in the De-par tment of Physical Education, and is well liked.

Second behind DeVette in seniority on the "Flying Dutchmen" staff is end coach, Kenneth Weller, who is beginning his eighth full season in the Hope coaching ranks. Although Weller now concentrates on the ends he has done extensive work with the backfield and interior line.

Known perhaps best for his terr i f ic scouting ability, Weller acts as Head Scout spending most of his Saturdays in the stadiums of later season Hope foes.

A native of Holland, Weller s tarred in football a t Holland High. Before enter ing the Navy he spent two years a t the "U of M" and a f t e r his service hitch he s tarred on the Hope grid squads of '46 and '47. Receiving his Master 's Degree in Business Administration a t Michigan in '49, he returned to the site of his Alma Mater to coach football and to teach Economics.

. . For the past few years, our fine end coach has again f re-quented the Michigan campus in pursuit of the highest of degrees, the doctorate.

Well fellow colleagues, and visiting alumni, there are the members of the coaching staff in football. If you have a word of praise for the team and how they played, why don't you tell these fine men.
