The theme for the evening will be "Radio." Edith Klaaren, who is chairman of the program, will talk on "Radio Speaking."

Steele Takes First A t Pi Kap Convention First place In the men's oratori- cal contest held Friday evening, April 2, at the Pi Kappa Delta Convention at Heidelberg College, Tiffin, Ohio, was taken by Hope's representative, Harland S t e e l e . Second and third places were taken by men of Kent and Michigan State colleges. Chairman Edith Klaaren announces that the traditional May Day festival will be held on Friday, May 14. A new campus queen will be crowned and next year's Alcor and Blue Key members will be tapped. Committees for this annual affair are busy working on the plans and preparations. The queen will be chosen through popular student elections on the campus.

The choice will be based on popularity. The next Dormitory Solves Problem of Labor STAFF MEMBERS The ANCHOR picture for the MILESTONE will be taken to- morrow afternoon at 5:30. in the Commons Room. Members of all departments on the staff are aaked to be present . There isn't a great deal that can be done about the shortage of man- power, but the girls of Voorhees have an answer to the shortage of woman-power. Because of the ab- normal conditions of the times, Mrs. Van Zomeren, matron at Voor- hees, has been unable to hire maids for the dormitory. Since it would be impossible to run the dormitory with the present staff, the girls themselves have agreed to do the work. This means that each girl will put in about an hour of work every two weeks. The girls have turned in schedules of their free hours to Mrs. Van Zomeren, and she has organized and assigned the! an work, using the girls in alphabet!- sports, cal order. Each girl does the work to which she is assigned; it is against the rules of the game to hire some one else to do the work. Inhabitants of Van Vleck as well as Voorhees take part in this pro- gram, and scrape dishes, scrub floors, wash pots and pans in the kitchen with a right good will. This democratic solution to a dif- ficult problem is a credit to the girls of the college, an indication that they are willing to do their part and to accept the small in- conveniences with a constructive, rather than a complaining attitude. Tardiff Elected W.A.L. Prexy Hope co-eds elected Vivian Tar- diff, president; Norma Lemmer, vice president; Rose Winstrom, sec- retary; and Joan De Young, as treasurer of the Woman's Activi- ties league. An absolute tie resulted in the first and second elections between Lemmer and Emery running for the vice presidency. The situation was discussed in the WAL board meeting where it was finally de- cided that the members vote and thus decide the election. Norma Lemmer received the majority. Both girls have served on the WAL board before. In addition, Vivian has been very active in French club, debate and oratory, placing third in the State oratori- cal contest. Norma is a member of house- board, glee club, choir, F r e n c h club, and is associate editor of the Milestone. She is also active in sports. Rose Winstrom takes, a very ac- tive part in sports, is a member of choir and has just become presi- dent of the glee club. Joan De Young is a member of German club, has served on the houseboard, the Anchor staff, and is active participant in girls' the entrants of Michigan State and Michigan Central placed first and second, respectively. In the debate sessions hf/d Fri- day morning and afternoon, Steele and Cal De Vries won two out of five for Hope while Vivian Tardiff and Corinne Pool took three out of five in their series. Saturday morning the debate finals were held but Hope did not compete. In the women's extem- pore contest, fourth place was taken by Corinne Pool. The four Hope entrants at the convention left with Prof. Schrier right after chapel on Thursday morning. Going by way of Ann Arbor where Prof. Schrier took his examinations for a Ph.D. in Ger- man, the group arrived at Tiffin Thursday evening. In addition to the speech contests, a banquet and other social functions were enjoyed. French Club Meeting To Feature Play Wednesday, April 14, the French Club will meet in the Commons Room at 7:30.

Of the future M.D.'s who have already received official admission the Uni- versity of Michigan claims five: Verne Boersma, Les Nienhuis, Norm Davis, Bob Heneveld, and Lloyd Lemmen. Clarence Vander Velde plans on heading north to Marquette University and Andy Williams Field, Arizona, was the scene on March 11 of the com- mencement exercises for the first group of Chinese pilots trained to fly twin-engined planes. Although censorship forbids printing actual figures, the number of graduating pilots would have filled the stage of any good-sized college. On Saturday, March 27, two former students, Jan Arnold and Ken Newendorp, were married in the First Lutheran Church of Rochester, New York. Newendorp, who was a member of Emersonian, graduated last June. Miss Arnold, who has been studying since Sep- tember at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, would have been a Junior this year.

Bastian Kruithof, Dr. Wichers, Miss Oggel and Mr. De Graaf for conducting English and history classes during Miss Ro&s* absence. Meanwhile Miss Lichty is also convalescing after suffering from a fall down the back stairs in Voor- hees. Miss Lichty broke several ribs when she fell while carrying some French books. Mrs. Kronemeyer, Miss Lichty, and Mrs. Van Zomeran recently gave a party in Van Vleck Hall in behalf of the various maids who have been keeping the dorm so spic and span, and preparing the food for the co-eds. Congratulations are due to Eekie Klaaren, who was recently award- ed the Regents' scholarship to the U. of M. Eek will do graduate work in English. Word has been received that John Nyboer, Hope '26, and his daughter were killed on March 20 in a bus accident at Grant, Illinois.

War Widows Bridge Club Visits Custer Heigh Ho, Heigh Ho, it's off to camp we go . . . Some of the lat- est members of the WWBC (War Widows' Bridge Club) put on their seven league A cards and went down Custer way this week-end. When they got there the cupboard was bare that is the Hope con- tingency of the ERCU were busy- not writing letters, not taking tests, but working, actually work- ing. So we went to the Service Cen- ter for lunch and made a few startling discoveries: 1. Their chocolate milk is good. 2. Their hamburgers aren't 3. Can you re- member way back when we used to buy all the gum we wanted and real good candy bars? Ever won- der what happened to it? Well, we know it's all been hiding out in that service center. We put up our little yellow card, the one the nice man at the gate gave us. It seemed to be our pass- word to Post 7 where the boys were. We passed troop after troop and drove slowly to see if they were our boys. They all seemed glad to see a few girls . . . at least they . . . well, they weren't the ones we were looking for. * Don "Major" Battjea was the first to find us (we couldn't find him). He's sporting a German haircut — his first deed of inde- pendence. Howie Koop appointed himself guide and took us to the reception center. He told us all the army expressions and proudly exhibited his army shoes —site infinity. So far his occupation ia driving nails into a huge door. Says Private Howie, "I never saw so many nails in my whole Ufe! M Jack Yeomans came in and helped Howie tell us about their tests. It seems Jackson was trying, the barracks). his psychology on one of the lieu- tenants and Howie was kinda wor- ried about the outcome — or come out, cause how could they get paaa- es if the Lieuy was down on them I Bob Barkema ran all the way, but was a little disappointed at the absence of . . . let's see . . . what did he aay her name waa ? Anyhoo, between conversation he wrote a letter for us to deliver. Chuck Martindale told us about his feeble attempts to get home for the week-end. Seems he's quite a story-maker-upper, but not good enough for the searge. Said the private to the sergeant, "I'd like a week-end to see my gal." Said the sergeant to the private, "If she wanta to see you she can come here." The immunisation shots were too much for Hoots Rowan. He was spending a quiet day at home (in Clary "Doughboy" Van Liere and Tony Kempker popped in looking just too, too in their uniforms. They wanted all the latest news from Holland and "Say hello to everybody for us, won't you." Johnny Kleis amazed everyone by finding an old friend, a previous Hopeite. Outside of that the only news from "the parson" is that he and Harv Buter were enjoying (what am I saying?) K.P. duty. Dick Pfeifer came out on top in his teats. They've labeled him the genius. His present field is guard duty. He had just waahed his hair and couldn't do a thing with it Bob Van Zanten brought his own shoes along gives him that Joe College look. But what chance for individuality of appearance with Koeppe Heads Y. M. Cabinet On Tuesday evening, March 30, the YMCA held its annual election. The» new officers are, president, Roger Koeppe; vice president, Len Sibley; secretary and music chair- i man, Ed De Young; and treasurer and membership chairman. B i l l Brandli. Because the male popu- lation of the college has been somewhat depleted, several offices have been combined. The remainder of the cabinet consists of Roy Davis, mission chairman; Harland Steele, deputa- tions; Dale Van Lente, social; and Russ De Vette, publicity. Davis and Steele will also edit the Y- Fore, while personal service will be in the hands of Van Lente and De Vette. Banquet Held for Y Members Installation of the new officers took place last night in the YM room after the old and new cabi- nets and other members of the Y had enjoyed a dinner at the Emer- sonian House. This dinner, which was open to all Y members, is a new feature in the Y program, re- placing the former banquet given by the old cabinet members in be- half of the new cabinet. It proved to be a very successful and stimu- lating innovation. Scholten, Scott Elected to WAA Mildred Scholten and Audrey Scott have been chosen as repre- sentatives to the Women's Athletic Association on merit of their inter- est, participation, and leadership in the women's sport program of the college. Members of the sophomore OA AAA , ... class, they were selected from four 80,000 other Joes looking all alike, i candidates, to serve a term of three except shoeaH , yeert.

camp we go . . . Some of the lat-est members of the WWBC (War Widows' Bridge Club) put on their seven league A cards and went down Custer way this week-end. When they got there the cupboard was bare — that is the Hope con-tingency of the ERCU were b u s y -not writing letters, not taking tests, but working, actually work-ing.

So we went to the Service Cen-ter for lunch and made a few startling discoveries: 1. T h e i r chocolate milk is good. 2. T h e i r hamburgers aren' t 3. Can you re-member way back when we used to buy all the gum we wanted and real good candy bars? Ever won-der what happened to it? Well, we know it's all been hiding out in that service center.

We put up our little yellow card, the one the nice man at the gate

gave us. It seemed to be our pass-word to Post 7 where the boys were. We passed troop after troop and drove slowly to see if they were our boys. They all seemed glad to see a few girls . . . at least they . . . well, they weren't the ones we were looking for. *

Don "Major" Battjea was the first to find us (we couldn't find him). He's sporting a German haircut — his first deed of inde-pendence.

Howie Koop appointed himself guide and took us to the reception center. He told us all the a r m y expressions and proudly exhibited his army shoes —site infinity. So far his occupation ia driving nails into a huge door. Says Private Howie, "I never saw so many nails in my whole Ufe!M

Said the private to the sergeant, "I'd like a week-end to see my gal." Said the sergeant to the private, "If she wanta to see you she can come here."

by finding an old friend, a previous Hopeite. Outside of that the only news from "the parson" is that he and Harv Buter were enjoying (what am I saying?) K.P. duty.

Koeppe Heads Y. M. Cabinet

On Tuesday evening, March 30, the YMCA held its annual election. The» new officers are, president, Roger Koeppe; vice president, Len Sibley; secretary and music chair-

i man, Ed De Young; and treasurer and membership chairman. B i l l Brandli. Because the male popu-lation of the college has been somewhat depleted, several offices have been combined.

The remainder of the cabinet consists of Roy Davis, mission chairman; Harland Steele, deputa-tions; Dale Van Lente, social; and Russ De Vette, publicity. Davis and Steele will also edit the Y-Fore, while personal service will be in the hands of Van Lente and De Vette.

Banquet Held for Y Members Installation of the new officers

took place last night in the YM room after the old and new cabi-nets and other members of the Y had enjoyed a dinner at the Emer-sonian House. This dinner, which was open to all Y members, is a new feature in the Y program, re-placing the former banquet given by the old cabinet members in be-half of the new cabinet. It proved to be a very successful and stimu-lating innovation.

Postwar Period Presents Obligations and Opportunities

An opportunity to build a new world civilization will con-front the American people in the postwar period, declares Prof. Lyman Bryson of Columbia university.

Professor Bryson told 829 candidates for degrees at the University of Michigan that they face a great immediate test, but declared it is necessary to insist that "what you have to go through will be worth any necessary sacrifice because the world that comes after the war will be one in which those who believe in freedom will be allowed to live by it, and those who believe in violence will be restrained."

The postwar period should not be regarded merely as an opportunity to repair damage done by the war, Bryson said. Instead, he foresees a period in which all the engineering ability the United States can produce will be put to good use, and he predicts that the time immediately after ought to see greater scientific advance than any in the past. Also he hopes we will be scientific about human beings. All these possibilities are declared by Bryson to be evidence "that the people of America will have the means with which to build a new world civilization." No other generation of men has had an opportunity like this, he said.

Pointing out that we did not enter this war with the cru-sading spirit so evident in World War I, Bryson declared that on the whole this was a great advantage because if we can fight and win a war in a mood of grim realism we maykbe more ready to take the grimly realistic measures that will be necessary afterward.

Americans are just beginning to learn the hard lesson that we will have to resort to power until we have created a world in which violence and injustice are impossible, he said, and such a world is not now in view. "Men are going to be dan-gerous to each other for a long time to come," Bryson pre-dicted. "The countries of Europe are going to be cut up by civil wars, by bloody quarrels among their leaders and be hot with the fevers of revenge."

Bryson warns that Americans cannot withdraw into a shell of isolation as long as Europe and Asia are in long drawn-out guerilla warfare.

"We shall have to help combat anarchy as we have fought against aggression/' he asserted. MUnle8s peace and order can be established everywhere we will have to choose between anarchy at home or a degree of military preparation and control that will be almost intolerable. What this amounts to is to say that your generation carries an enormous weight of responsibility put upon it by the long series of failures to which my generation contributed so much. You have not only a war to fight and yfjin. You have also a world to straighten out." — Associated Collegiate Press.

Dream if a Dream

Is a Nightmare . . . We stood up and hooked our rip-

cords to the.safety line. " W h e n that doors opens," J thought, "I'm going out fast." A bell rang, the door opened, I was out — falling, falling — It was really quite com-fortable. I only hoped I wouldn't land too hard; my feet are flat already. For luck, I picked up an old horseshoe, spit on it, and tried to throw it over my left shoulder. Unfortunately it got hung up on my ear. I looked at the waiter suspiciously. "Say, what was that horseshoe doing up here anyway?"

"Just floating around, sir."

I was in no mood to dispute the point "111 have a hamburger."

"Yes, sir, everything on i t ?"

Being conservative, I thought this over for a moment. "No," I said, "you can leave off the horseshoe."

"The horseshoes are very good today, sir, very tender."

"No," I said irritably, "leave it off. I don't like horseshoes with my hamburger. It always starts an unpleasant train of thought."

The pilot came walking down the aisle, pausing now and then to pick up a cigarette butt with a long pointed stick. He grinned apolo-getically. "I like to keep in prac-tice. Sucker spearing season starts tomorrow in Michigan."

The man sitting behind me got up, opened the door and walked out. "Good h e a v e n s , " I said, "doesn't he know we're nearly a mile in the air?"

fa (ZamfieU -

"Oh, that's all right," answered the pilot. "We're above Michigan now, and he was wearing water-wings."

"Don't tell me it's raining!" I moaned.

The co-pilot came back. "Stand by for a crash!" he yelled. The pilot pulled a sundial out of his pocket. "Synchronize watches! It is now 7:20 — we'll crash at 7:22."

"Good," 1 said, "I'll be able to make it to chapel."

There was a terrifying lurch and the sickening crush of metal. I could hear birds singing. "I must have a terrific knock on the head," I thought, and began frantically digging myself out of the wreck-age. Suddenly my head cleared. 1 opened my eyes. My roommate said in a peeved voice, "If you must fall out of bed at 7:22 in the morning, do you have to drag the blankets with you?"

The Hope boys who left laat week for the Army at the invita-tion of the E.R.C. are now at Fort Custer, rapidly being converted into full-fledged soldiers. They are in two adjoining barracka, and visit each other as often as time permits. Jim Wierenga writes that if you don't like to mop floors, don't join the Army. It seems that they have gotten their full share of floor m o p p i n g ; and Gordon Brewer seems to be appalled at the prospect of being on K.P. duty from 3:30 a. m. to 8 p. m. Dick Pfeifer is enjoying the meals, and particularly tbe fact that they get something besides bran flakes for breakfaat. And Pres Stegenga writes that "Parson" Kleis just had his ears lowered and really looks sharp.

K.P. for Blaauw

K.P. seems to be one of the chief worries of the fellows. Jack Blaauw, at Camp McCoy, says that he was on K.P. for four days al-ready, "even though I didn't do anything bad."

Randall Dekker writes from Mi-ami Beach: "Incidentally, yester-day, I was' official pot and pan scrubber at 'Officers' Mess.' Just like owning your own business at a big loss. I'm also learning little Judo — which consists of pull-ing a man's arm off and beating him with the bloody end — poking his eyes out — breaking his arms, etc. Everything that's been taken out of sports has been added to this. Try it some time."

Don Williams, in Fresno, Cali-fornia, writes, "We get up about 5:30 every morning, breakfast at 6:00, 7:30 we do something, any-thing, just to pretend we are busy. This morning some of us were to pick up paper and butts. We worked for an hour and then snuck back to the barracks and sat around."

The old army game of gold-brick-ing.

F r o m Fayetteville, Arkansas, Baxter Elhart tella us, "We yell at the girls and get four extra hours of marching. Some fun, eh?"

Eddie Nieusema says, "California is the most beautiful state I've ever been in. I feel perfectly sat-isfied, especially when I think that you fellows will probably be sent to South Africa to train."

Kerle Quarantined Art Kerle is really enjoying his

training at the Army Air Base in Syracuse, N. Y. It is a welcome change to get swell meals, (with no K.P.), sergeants who smile and call you "Mister," and the prospect of flying in about four weeks. His unit is stationed on the campus at Syracuse, and ( a l t h o u g h his thoughts are, of course, elsewhere) there are 2500 co-eds also on the campus there. His unit is in quar-antine for fourteen days now, but the gab put up such signs as "Only 10 days now," and "Don't forget us when you get out."

Murray Snow writes that as far as he is concerned, the Army life is pretty good, but they are keep-ing him as busy as the proverbial cat on the tin roof. From Miami he writes, "This army life is the nuts! Food is good and plentiful, and so is the exercise (a la Rowan) Krunch!!"

up enough clothes that fit him. We

hear it took him considerably long-

er than the rest due to a few extra

inches of longitude.

We packed up a few of the boys

and whizzed them off to town. The

guard saluted "General" Don. Must

be the dress hat he was wearing, or that old-married-man look. And then the chief problem at hand was how our little privates could walk down the street with a girl on their arm if they had to salute every officer they met. "Simple," said Pfeifer af ter due cogitation, "well walk on the other side of the s t reet"

By way of a summary . . . The Hope squad ia still altogether . . . Their biggest thrill is their long underwear. Wagner and Yeomans explained, "They start at the chin and go down, and at the toes and go up, and we're really all sipped in" . . . They're waiting to be

Spring Brings Usual Thing: Campuses Basf Cufs Chapel Once, Lichty Knits,

One thing you have to admit

about spring this year, it's not

over-eager! The crocuses bloom in

the park one day, and snow falls

the next. The New Yorkers and

lowans say it's no more than can

be expected of Michigan, and the Michiganders admit sadly that their state does have unusual weather. Now you take Wisconsin, for,instance. . . .

Weather or no, the rest of spring's activities are in full swing; there are even a few cases of spring fever among the faculty, but we can't mention names because Mr. Cavanaugh asked us not to. Of course, the subject of Coach Hin-ga's immortal lines is what every-body's thoughts turn to. S o m e people are luckier than others in being in a position to do some-thing about that. For instance, the other Tuesday evening Miss Wini-fred M. Rameau became formally engaged to Mr. Daniel Fylstra of the Christian High School faculty . . . and is that solitaire diamond gorgeous! Wendy may now offi-cially join the long list of senior girls who are working on their hope chests . . . Syd MacGregor and Louise Becker have collections of beautiful stuff that would turn any girl green with envy.

Seems like spring got under Cy Voogd's skin, too . . . and Helen Thompson came in last Friday night blushingly wearing his f rat pin . . . Bobbie Reed, the N e w Hampshire kid, was a little at a disadvantage, since her f ra t pin from Corporal Harold Wormuth came through the mail . . . but it's the principle of the thing that counts, says Bobbie, glowing.

exciting week-end . . . all alone on the train, imagine that! A bevy of beautiful Hopeites trotted off to Fort Custer twice last week-end . . . and who would be better mo-rale-raisers than Donna Eby, Janey MacDonald, and Rosie Seith ?

Prof Bast wishes to remark that crime does not pay. Once . . . Just once all year! . . . he was absent from chapel. What happens? That morning at least one person in every one of his classes asks him if Dr. Dimnent was translating from the Greek. Prof feels sad about the whole thing, especially since he also missed Chuck "Ab-ner" Dykema's lone and dauntless trek down the center aisle during the last, not the first, hymn. What poise, what grace, what colossal nerve! . . . Doc Raymond's pupils are beginning to wonder about the advantages of prolonged vacations, and are rather more than perturbed about their mid-semester exams. As Dottie Wendt says mournfully, "I've studied for that old thing seven times, and I still don't know the stuff."

Now that the dorm is run Bryn Mawr style and Mrs. V.Z.'s trou-bles are beginning to thin out a little, her enjoyment of life is spoiled by a case of flu . . . Miss Lichty is knitting soakers, but be calm, chillun, she is about to be-come an aunt . . . When Vonnie Yntema sneezes, the whole dorm jmnps . . . The loud noises ema-nating from both dorms today, Wednesday, at six o'clock are the screams of joy from campus queens Rosie Atkins, Mil Vander Linden, Ruth Van Bronkhorst, and M a r y Lou Hemmes, who are at that precise moment free again . . . Well, what all the girls say about a campus, at least you have a lot of time to think.

The lack of foolery on April Fool's day leads some to believe that there must be a war on. The sandwich boards running around campus today prove there's a war, and the WAL is still trying to get one hundred per cent support of i t Honestly now, one or two war stamps a week is little enough to do when you think what some of the fellows we all know are doing. It seems as though we'd be ashamed not to buy all the stamps we possibly could!

Siba'Toel" Dorians at Annual Joint Mooting

The Commom Room was the scene of much foolishness last Fri-day evening, April 2, when the Sib-ylline society entertained the Dori-ans with an April Fool's Day meet-ing. After greetings were extended and received by the two society presidents, Sib Edith Klaaren and Dorian Fanny De Kleine, the rolls of the two sororities were called.

The devotional service read by Helen Wilhelm was enhanced by a piano accompaniment J>y Edith Klaaren. A quartet composed of Bette Mulder, Freida Grote, Mary Blair, and Edna Blom entertained with some rare interpretations of "For Me and My Gal" and "Ma, He's Makin' Eyes a t Me."

Evelyn Shiffner then presented an interesting and educational paper on 'The Origin of A p r i l Fool's Day." An instrumental duet was rendered by Pat Haskins, cell-ist, and Theresa De Haan, violinist, accompanied on the piano by Betty Christie. Their encore was a unique presentation of "The Merry Farm-er" played in three differeAt keys.

An original skit, written by Elaine Scholten, was acted out by a mixed cast of Dorians and Sibs. Marian Sandee then led the group in a bit of singing. Final number on the program was presented by Ruth Probst with a "What-Ya-Call-it," a musically illustrated story.

A social hour was enjoyed after the literary program, with refresh-ments being served by the Sibs.

"Cosmo Querk" is Feature

of Cosmopolitaii Party The Cosmopolitan House again be-

came the scene of a party for Cos-mos and their guests on Friday evening, March 26. At this time twelve Cosmos and their feminine guests enjoyed a spook party at the "Cosmo Castle."

Real beginning for the party was found in the classified section of the Holland E v e n i n g Sentinel on Thursday evening when an ad was placed there by Cosmo Querk tell-ing the guests where to assemble for the party. At the fountain of Ctentennial Park the couples were picked up and af ter the girls were

-[blindfolded, the group was taken to the "Castle."

Here the group was met by a butler, and then introduced to an old cockney caretaker who was to act as their guide on a tour through the old castle of Cosmo Querk, former pirate of Black Lake who had used his castle as a torture chamber in days long since gone by. Various other employees of the late pirate were also introduced to the group before the tour.

The guests were also told the legend of Cosmo Querk and his

A sparkling p r o g r a m w i t h "Spring" as its theme was pre-sented by Sorosis frosh for the approval of upperclassmen Friday

. . . . evening, April 2, in the clan's room ate to the bloodthirsty pirate and which has visions of being redeco-his career of torture and crime. Finally Cosmo Querk himself ap-peared on the scene and carried off the guide after a brief struggle.

The guests, a t the suggestion of one of their number, fled through the nearest door, coming into the parlors which were well-lighted and appropriately arranged for a social hour. Here ghost stories were told (with the help of Prof. Timmer), and refreshments were served to the trembling guests.

Prof, and Mrs. Albert Timmer were guests of honor for the eve-ning's entertainment. Roy Davis was general chairman, while Har-land Steele, who also acted as guide, was in charge of the script and Allan Bruggink handled the properties. Cosmos Dale Stoppels, Al Rezelmah, Arys Huizinga, George Toren, Phil Baron, and Al Bruggink acted the parts of but-lers, gardeners, tortured prisoners, insane chemists, and murdered men in very realistic fashion.

Cosmos and their guests included Henry Hoftiezer, Marian Sandee; Clarence Luth, Betty Schaap; Rich-ard Hine, Freida Grote; John Et-tema, Evelyn Vermulm; G e o r g e Dykstra, Evelyn Reus; Glenn Stok-dyk, Betty De Vries; Adam Mc-Clay, Jane Waldbillig; Delbert Vander Haar, Harriet Maatman; Lloyd Lemmen, lone Strick; Roy Davis, Jane Reus; John Lucius, Jane Bartholomew, and Mr. and Mrs. Timmer.

rated to some extent (or at least housecleaned!)

Chairman Natalie Bosman led devotions and Shirley Romeyn en-tertained with her "Piano Prattle," two solos, "Indian Love Call" and "The World Is Waiting for the Sunrise." In the absence of "cam-pused" Rosanna Atkins her seri-ous paper on "Spring of '43," was read by Nat Bosman. The paper urged Sorosites to take a new lease on life at this time of the year.

As the freshman gift to the so-ciety the all-efficient Bosman pre-sented President Milly Timmer with a lovely white envelope con-taining three pictures of Abe Lin-coln on attractive green back-grounds. Elsie Parson's humor paper was "Some Line, or How to Keep Two Men on the String at the Same Time," that is, provided you are lucky enuf to have TWO men!

The meeting closed with the singing of the Sorosis songs, the critic's report by Sorosite Lois Mary Hinkamp, and a genial "gab fest" while all members munched cupcakes and nut-covered paddle-pops.

Elections a t the business meet-ing included Jeanne Shiffner, base-ball captain, and Barbara Tazelaar, WAL representative. Freshmen were definitely reminded of their housecleaning duties and the room committee did some further de-lightful dreaming.

RAMO TOPIC FOR KNICKS

Knickerocker meeting fo r April

2 was opened by a song service led

by "Maestro" Jay Rutgers, with

Tom Van Dahm "falling all over

the piano." Devotions were in

charge of Jack Krum.

The educational side of the pro-

gram was presented by Charles

Van Zylen with a very interesting

paper on the new type frequency

modulation radio. Charles dis-

cussed both the advantages and the

disadvantages of this new set. Mr.

Shoemaker gave a good criticism

of this paper.

Humor for the program was in charge of Lloyd "Not-So-Funny" Van Raalte. His paper, entitled, "Letter from a Draftee," was given

"Krumipy" criticism. Master critic for the meeting was B o b Spaulding.

During the business meeting the joint meeting with the Fraters, to be held this week, was discussed.

CHISMAN GIVES INAUGURAL

ANCHOR STARTS SOFTBALL LEAGUE The Kibitzer . . .

. . . . by Reg Ko«ppc Before we get into spring sports, just a parting shot for basketball.

Before commenting on the recent AII-MIAA selections we'd like to say

aa we've said several times before, that "Gabby" is the most under-

rated man in the league. However, considering that the team was chosen

by a vote of all the players it was surprisingly good. Personally, we

think the top ten men in the league are the "Blitz Kids," the Howe

Brothers of Alma, Isaacs of Albion, Thompson of Kazoo and Magiera

of Hillsdale. Now on to spring sports! . . . Oh, pardon me! . . . we aren't going

to have any . . . And why not? Gas and tire rationing, they tell me.

Now don't get me wrong, if the armed forces need the gas and tires to

win this war then they should have them, But I ask you . . . when

half of Hope college can travel to Grand Rapids to see the Calvin

game, when thousands throughout the country are attending all sorts

of sports events, when tens of service teams are traveling far and

wide to participate in sports events, when topnotch basketball teams

travel thousands of miles to play at a Red Cross benefit program, is it

wrong for one or two carloads of Hope athletes to travel to Hillsdale,

Alma, Albion and Kazoo.

No, they won't make any Red Cross money, or win a national cham-

pionship or play before large crowds . . . No. not that. But . . . they

would do just what every other war-time sports program should do . . .

build morale . . . and, believe me, we need it at Hope . . . Last week

25 l e f t . . . The week before some left, and the week before that , . . and

so it'll be next week probably. And we who are privileged to stay,

we're supposed to work . . . harder than ever before, and we're trying

. . . hard. We don't have 40-hour weeks, not many of us, anyway.

When the army boys get through with their day's work I'll bet they

organize a ball game or else grab a paper to see how the Yanks came

out or turn on the radio to hear the Armstrong fight . . . They love

sports . . . So do we . . . A grave mistake was made in cancelling Hope's

spring program.

However, sobbing doesn't help. Something has been done to at least

partially remedy the situation. Let's get behind the softball league and

when May day comes we're GOING to have a track meet, war or no

war!

Incidentally, don't be surprised if the Yanks win, even without Joe

Di Maggio.

Hope Will Not Take Part In Spring Program

The spring sports schedule this

year is very limited. Gasoline and

tire rationing has made it neces-

sary to almost curtail all spring

sports. Tennis and golf are being

entirely abolished. There will, how-ever, be an M1AA track meet if there are enough individual entries for the various events.

There will be track and baseball if there are enough fellows who show interest.

There will be a May Day Inter-Fraternity Track Meet as in pre-vious years. All fellows who ex-pect to participate in the meet must work out and get in condition at least two weeks before the date of the track meet. Some of the fel-lows already started working out on the track last week.

Four of the Hope college "Blitz I n V i e W 0f the faCt that H o p € Wil1 n0t ParticiPate in the Kids" were placed on the All- j MI A A spring sports program, the Anchor has decided to MIAA squad. No other team placed more than two on the team. Mul-der and De Vette got first team po-sitions and Kleinjans and Dalman were put on the second team. This is the second straight year that "Ets" and "Porky" have made the honor team.

This year's team was chosen by the players themselves. Each mem-ber of each team chose his all-star team and from these votings the squad.

All four of Hope's men were captains of their respective high school teams. Dalman, who was captain at Holland High a few years back, has been chosen cap-tain of next year's team.

The first team: Forwards — Jack and Robert

Howe, brothers. Alma. Center — Russell DeVette, Hope. Guards — Don Mulder, Hope,

and Elkin Isaac, Albion. Second team: Forwards — G e o r g e Dalman,

Hope, and W. Thompson, Kazoo. Center: T. Patrick, Hillsdale. Guards — E v e r e t t Kleinjans,

Roy reports the complete cooperation of all the fraternities

and says that play will begin immediately if the weather

Cosmos Trim Semi To Take B.B. Title

Last week the championship game of the Inter-Fraternity bas-ketball league was played. The game was a close, hard fought bat-tle all the way, but the Cosmos became the victors, winning the game by a score of 31 points to the Sems' 25. This gives the Cos-mos the championship for this season, having won ten straight games.

Last Monday evening the cham-pionship Cosmo five played an all-star aggregation composed of Jack Krum, Chuck Moolenaar, J a m e s Heersma, Bud Koranda, and Dale Van Lente. This was also a very close game but the Cosmos won by a narrow margin — the score —

i 24-22, for the Cosmos.

I noons from three o'clock to six.

However, if this time is not satis-

factory to all involved a new time

will be set.

Cooperation Needed In sponsoring this league the

staff asks for the complete cooper-

ation of the entire student body

in keeping up the spirit and en-

thusiasm in spite of the fact that

there will be no inter-school sports

this spring. Let's have crowds, big

crowds; cheers, more cheers; and

loads of pep and excitement.

Each team has been asked to

supply its own ball and bats; thus

expenses will be small and distrib-

uted equally. The captains of the

various teams are: Jack Krum,

Knicks; Jim Burger, Emmies;

"Ets" Kleinjans, Fraters; and Roy

Davis, Cosmos.

If the softball experiment proves

to be a success a tennis tournament

will probably be held.
