HOPE COLLEGE ANCHOR LXXI—26 Hope College Holland, Michigan May 22, 1959 1958-1959 Seen In Review hy Sharon Grossman On September 11, 1958 the school year of 1958-1959 formally began with Formal Convocation in the Chapel. This was the beginning of another year filled with activities of many types. "Memory Album" was the theme of our Homecoming which was held October 16-19. This year was the first time that Hope experienced an Academic Homecoming, the theme of which was entitled "The Position of the United States in the World Today." These academic pursuits combined with the pep rally, coronation, the parade, the game, open house, the play, "Queen Susie" and con- cluding with Sunday vespers, became one of the most active and memorable weekends of the year. FRESHMAN, SOPHOMORE CONTESTS Two specific events which stand out as very memorable especially to the Freshmen and Sophomores, are the Pull and Nykerk Cup Con- test which represent the "Frosh-Soph Competition". This year they are especially memorable to the victorious Class of '61. November 1, was Mom and Dad's Day. A football game, open house and programs in the Music Building Auditorium made this day a success for both students and parents. "This I Believe" was the topic of Religious Emphasis Week. Dr. William O'Neill and his wife held personal conferences, led evening devotions, and participated in the Y discussion meeting and Kletz discussions. The week was climaxed by a Communion Service in the Chapel. CHRISTMAS SEASON The activities of the Christmas season were highlighted by the presentation of "The Messiah" and the WAL "Christmas in Cardland" party. February 9-13 was Dutch Treat Week. This week of "turn-about" in which the girls do the treating, began with the Bachelor's Bank and was concluded with a Valentines Party in the Civic Center following a Basketball game. Dick Moore and Marcia Wiersma were co-chairman of the All College Sing which took place in the Chapel on March 13. This year the Sing had two major changes: it was without competition and re- quired participation. SPRING EVENTS BEGIN The WAL Penny Carnival, "County Fair", this year presented its proceeds to Prestatie Huis. As usual, it was held in the gym and each of the societies on campus had a booth in which they attempted to earn more money than the others. Spring arrived on campus and with it came May Day. The weather was perfect for the activities of the day. The day began with the sports competition between the girls by class with the class of '60 being the victors. The Intramural competition then took place and was interrupted by an All-College picnic in Kollen Park. For many students it was the first May Day that they had ever seen in the Pine Grove. In the ceremony which took place, the new Alcor members were announced and the new court and "Queen Edna" were presented. The banquet which followed was held in Durfee and the May Day Dance followed in the Civic Center. ADDITIONAL MEMORIES In addition to these many activities of 1958-1959, our fond me- mories include: a very successful season by both our football and basketball teams, the fraternity rushing parties, fraternity and sorority initiations, the many student council parties including the All College Formal, and many others too numerous to mention. For the members of the senior class these memories are final ones and the culmination of this eventful year will be Graduation. The Baccalaureate Service will be on May 31 and the conclusion of the year will be the Commencement Convocation on June 1. Class of '59 To Receive Diplomas On June 1st Graduation Activities Planned Hope Memorial Chapel will be the scene of the Baccalaureate service which is to be held on Sun- day, May 31, at 3:00 P.M. The speaker at this service will be Dr. John A. Dykstra, president of the Board of Trustees. There have been various other activities and events planned for the commencement week calendar in addition to the baccalaureate and commencement services. On Saturday, May 30, which has been designated Alumni Day, an alumni banquet will be held at the Civic Center. All seniors have been invited to attend this banquet which begins at 6:30 P.M. Preceding the commencement service on Monday, June 1, a senior breakfast will be held in the Pine Grove. Dr. and Mrs. Lubbers have invited all seniors, their families and guests to attend this break- fast. In case of rain it will be held in Durfee Hall. Following com- mencement, a faculty reception will be held in the Pine Grove for all members of the graduating class.

GERMAN DEPARTMENT . . .

(Cont'd f rom pg. 1, Col. 4)

It is fel t tha t this type of a

system will be a great encourage-

ment for foreign language students

to acquire enough knowledge about

their language so tha t they will

be able to speak it in the dorm.

Miss Reeverts is cooperating

with the language dept. in this

matter and next year, before room

assignments are made, girls will

be given an opportunity to express

their desires to live on this floor.

Ingrid will also be in charge of

another new development in the

German depar tment next year. She

will be a lab monitor several hours

per week at designated times.

There will be no class laboratory

work for German students and

they will instead be required to

put in their lab periods outside of

class time — preferably when In-

grid is on duty.

In addition to performing the

duties of a monitor, she is to func-

tion as a teacher in correcting,

helping and conversing with the

students.

Each of these new developments is being done on an experimental basis by the German Department in hopes tha t if all goes well, all languages will be able to use this technique in the near future . The German Depar tment was singled out to begin this project because of the availability of a native Ger-man to carry out the program.

There are also to be other im-provements and developments in the language laboratory next year, including the addition of six new laboratory booths t o alleviate crowded conditions and allow more students to make use of the labora-tory materials.

Graduation 'Round The Wor ld This June, as people applaud

their favori te graduate , a proud Bantu tr ibesman in Afr ica will be painting his!

He will smear the happy lad's face with certain designs tha t sig-nify the family to which he be-longs; a few more dabs will por-t ray the animal held sacred by the boy's clan; and, if the lad has learned his work well, additional blobs of home-made paint will an-nounce his chosen profession — warrior, hunter, c raf t sman, priest.

Some young men on nearby is-lands must endure much more. Having spent their youth accom-paning their elders on hunting ex-peditions, they must pass one of the most rigorous tests ever de-vised for a student.

Accompanied by two adult men from his family, each youth is escorted into the wilderness or to some mountain top f a r from his village. All he has are the clothes on his back and a knife — no food or tools. His kinsmen search him for contraband, then leave him without a word.

His mission: survive for one week and find his way back home. He must prove himself capable of tracking down and killing game, making a lean-to of whatever mat-erials he can find, reading the s ta rs and avoid get t ing killed.

Sometimes, the boy doesn't make it — and his family is deeply shamed. But when, on the seventh day, a successful candidate stum-bles into the village, dirty, ex-hausted and shivering — what a celebration! The clan throws the biggest party of its existence. The hero can do no wrong for the fol-lowing week. He may kiss any girl he wishes, drop in fo r supper anywhere, drink himself senseless — anything he wants. For he has returned; he is a man.

If you think that ' s tough, con-sider the boys who aspire to native priesthood. In order to qualify as a shaman (medicine man) , they undergo the same tes t as their less ambitious brother, but are for-bidden to eat . For a solid week all thy may have is water . And though they are unguarded, they obey — for they firmly believe tha t the full-fledged shamans can tell whether or not they have had food.

This enforced hunger spell has a purpose. Sometimes during these seven foodless days, the young man must have a "vision." He must be visited by a god who tells him he is shaman material . When he returns to the village, he relates his "vision" to the shamans, who decide whether he is t ruly among the chosen.

Most of the candidates have the "vision" (hunger-induced hallucin-ations are common), but few pos-sess the eloquence to describe it effectively. And the shamans, who know how important a glib tongue is to their profession, soon separ-ate the eloquent f rom the merely ambitious.

Certain Eskimos follow a some-what similar pat tern. Like their South Pacific counterparts , they have little use fo r wha t we con-sider formal education. Survival is a more important subject. The boy who feels ready to prove his ability is taken f a r f rom home, provided with some rudimentary tools and t ha t queer one-seat canoe called a kayak. His job, too, is to find his way home. He must lit-erally paddle his way to a diploma.

Once he proves himself, he may

have a say in family ma t t e r s and

seriously consider the idea of tak-

ing a wife.

As diverse as graduation cere-

monies are around the world, they

all have one thing in common: the

graduate receives gif ts . These may

vary f rom the small plot of land

an Australian aborigine gets upon

having proved his prowess to the

gleaming Underwood portable

typewriter with which you may be

surprised, but they are all rewards

for having mastered the knowl-

edge each culture considers im-

portant.

Our own form of graduation goes back to the 13th century, when the University of Par i s was founded. Students attended lec-tures until their teachers fe l t that they were ready to practice the profession of their choice (usually medicine or law). Those pursuing the liberal ar ts concentrated on a four-subject curriculum known as the quadrivium. This consisted of arithmetic, geometry, astronomy and music. Degrees were conferred only a f t e r a s tudent had success-fully defended a thesis of his own — in Latin — in public.

One theory has it that the four-cornered quadrivium is still sym-bolized by the rectangular hat, the mortarboard, t ha t our graduates wear. A more down-to-earth ex-planation is tha t the peculiar shape of the hat protected its wearers from rain — a boon to English graduates, who often attended commencement under a lowering sky.

Our knowledge of the gowns worn at commencements is more sure. Originally devised to keep English dons warm dur ing lec-tures in dank halls, they have been retained in our ceremonies to this day.

Each one is tailored to the de-gree and subject pursued. Thus, a sleeveless gown is worn by Bach-elors of Art or Science; a n elbow-length gown may be worn only by men and women who have earned their Master 's degree; the Doctor of Philosophy sports a full-sleeved gown. And while the B.A. and M. A. gowns are made of worsted stuff, the Ph.D. walks resplendant in silk.

The color of the graduate ' s hood is significant too, and if you know what field of s tudy each color re-presents, you tell at a glance whether a man is an engineer, teacher, lawyer, whatever.

For example, purple stands fo r the law; white, fo r religion; yel-low, fo r science; green, f o r medi-cine; light blue, pedagogy; brown, architecture; lilac, dent is t ry; olive, pharmacy; drab, business.

Similarly, the hood lining is a tip-off on the school which con-ferred the degree. I f , a t conm-mencement, you see a professor wearing a hood lined with l ight blue and white, you are looking a t a Columbia graduate . If his hood is lined with Yale blue, he attend-ed Yale. Lining royal blue and white, with a white chevron? He studied at Duke University. It 's all a ma t t e r of wha t color he 's sport-ing.

Which makes you wonder: may-be we're not so different f rom the Bantu, a f te r all.

Student Council Retreat Report On Monday, May 11, 1959 the

Student Council held their annual re t reat . This year Mary Ann Klaaren and Paul Lydens were co-cl\airmen for the event held at Castle- Park . ' .

The main focus was — PAST, PRESENT, AND F U T U R E - The at tending persons — facul ty and students — were divided into four groups.

The first group with Hal Whip-ple acting as chairman and Mary Decker as recorder discussed the "Evaluation of NSA". The report of their discussion brought out the fac t that more inside information was needed before Hope can offic-ally act on NSA.

They recommend tha t Cal Bruins be sent to the National Meeting of NSA held this year at Purdue University s tar t ing August 24th. Cal could then report back to the school on the value of NSA for Hope.

The second group with Paul Ly-dens as chairman and Mary Ann Klaaren as recorder took up the issue of "Examination of Student Life Committee." This is a new proposed committee of students and faculty with the power of re-view over the student council.

The most important question concerning this was whether the student council would lose "power" by the formation of this commit-tee. The answer is "No". This committee would be replacing the existing Student Direction Com-mittee. I t has six main funct ions: Functions

1. To formulate all general poli-cies concerning the more in-formal (extra-curr icular) pro-gram of the college except fo r those polices concerning sports and religious activities desig-nated as the policy functions of the Athletic and Religious Life Committees respectively. These policies include: a. General principles and reg-

ulations under which clubs

the California t o u r , were pre-sented with g i f t s f rom the choir, in appreciation of their contribu-tions to the choir's successes this year .

Post 's Jewelry Awards, given annually to the seniors with three years participation in the Chapel Choir, were presented by Dr. Cav-anaugh. The recipients were: Bill Brookstra, Harley Brown, Anne DePree, A1 Fassler, Susie Graves, Jane Klaasen, Marilyn Korten-hoven, Carol Luth, Marge Ten-Haken, and George Worden.

Af te r the business meeting the choir enjoyed a showing of many of the slides which various mem-bers had taken on the spring tour to the west coast.

and activities operate. b. General principles and reg-

ulations concerning fund raising activities by camp-us groups.

c. Principles governing sched-uling of non-c u r r i c u 1 a r events. (Limitations on week nights, designation of "all college events," etc.)

d. Procedures for approving and scheduling events.

e. Principles of chaperoning and advising.

2. To review any mat te rs re fer -red to it by the Dean of Stu-dents or the Student Council.

3. To act on all requests fo r or-ganizing new extra-class ac-tivities and organizations.

4. To serve as an advisory group to the Dean of the Students on mat ters concerning student conduct and welfare.

5. To plan and administer those social events which the facul-ty sponsor f o r the students.

6. To establish policies fo r coun-seling (including orientation of new students) .

The third group under the direc-tion of Dick Brockmeier and Isla Van Eenenaam discussed "Major College Events in Retrospect". This committee handled two main issues: The All College Sing and Freshmen Orientation.

The group recommended: 1. Con-tinue with competition, 2. At least 75% of society participation, 3. Set a date, if possible, not conflicting with another major school event. 4. If the school is taking on too many all college events, perhaps the Penny Carnival should be elim-inated. These recommendations were made in respect to the All College Sing.

Group four, with chairman Row-land Van Es and recorder Joan Schroeder discussed "Major Col-lege Events for '59-'60".

The first topic of discussion was Freshmen Orientation: The com-mittee recognized the dissatisfac-tion with last year's program. Per-haps the Kankaroo Court could be reestablished, but held only once. The idea came up that perhaps the whole program was dragged on too long.

I t was determined tha t the 1958 All College Mixer was much more successful than in past years , and the committee recommended tha t this mixer be continued.

The second topic was the Christ-mas party. The best suggestion was that the Christmas banquet ami the Christmas party be held on the same night, either the week-end before vacation or the Wed-nesday before school is dismissed for the holidays.

Perhaps the Little Theater Play given shortly before vacation could also be given the night of the banquet and party.

It was definitely established tha t the Christmas parties have not held the interest of the student body and have been of low quality in recent years.

The last topic under discussion by the four th group was the All College Sing. The suggestions were as follows:

1. Let practice be unlimited.

2. Keep the Cup and Judging.

3. Examine the all college inter-est in this. a. Are we sponsoring too

many activities? b. Why don't we focus on jus t

a f e w ? 4. Limit the hours of rehersal,

but let there be an unlimited time in which to schedule these rehersals.

5. Should this sing be changed to jus t an "All Sorority and Fra tern i ty Sing" and let the rules be set by just the socie-ties enter ing the s ing?

Af t e r dinner Dick Brockmeier gave his farewell address and Row-land Van Es gave his inaugural address.

Swan Song As this last issue of the Anchor for the 1958-59 school year goes

to press, we are just about to plunge into the season of graduation, weddings, and editors swan songs. This article represents an a t tempt at the latter.

I, personally, am greet ing this occasion with the mixed emotions that are characteristic of my thinking, if not tha t of all humanity. It will be a relief to be completely divorced f rom the monster I've been married to these past two years. Yet, this severing will not be com-pletely painless. I am proud of the steady progress made by the Anchor these pas t two years, yet the mistakes — mistakes due to care-lessness, poor judgment , thinking tha t was sometimes warped, and inexperience (even a f t e r two y e a r s ) — w i l l haunt me for the rest of my life.

There is so much I would like to say — thank you to Hope College for the privilege of heading this journalistic experiment and thank you to the fine s tudents who have given a par t of themselves to the Anchor. However, aside f rom these "thank yous", I would ra ther , instead of commenting on the past two years, look ahead with you a t the Anchor's fu tu re .

The Anchor's fu tu re does not look very bright f rom this vantage point. The reason for my pessimism is that I have become convinced that the Hope College family does not want, does not deserve and, consequently, will not get an outstanding college paper.

Let us approach specificity by examining some very practical prob-lems. First of all, Hope College is going to have to decide whether it wants a good college paper, an efficient public relations office, or both. Presently, the weekly Anchor cannot meet the competition of the daily Holland Evening Sentinal aided by the public relations group. It is not even equipped to meet the competition of the Van Raalte Bulletin Board. The news report ing aspect of a college paper is not necessarily the most important aspect, but it is a very important aspect. I am not suggest ing tha t the public relations office give the Anchor a "break" by purposely decreasing its efficiency. However, if the Anchor is to be more than a magazine review, there must be greater cooperation and coordination between the Anchor and tha t group. This directive must come f rom the administration.

Of course, publicity seeking organizations are at faul t too. They refuse to trust their secrets to the ANCHOR or else submit the in-formation two days a f t e r the deadline (if at all) and then are dis-appointed when they don't get the spread they expected or when their article doesn't appear until seven to ten days a f te r the event.

Secondly, the administration is going to have to loosen up on the purse str ings a little if it wants a good Anchor. The administration has been very generous about allowing some of us to at tend journalism conferences this year, but tha t is not enough. The Anchor needs more money than jus t enough to cover printing costs. The Anchor needs money so that the editor can buy guides fo r his staff members, have speakers to instruct, present awards and experiment a little.

The Anchor needs an office too, ra ther than a dingy, poorly heated, poorly ventilated, poorly lighted, poorly equipped closet in the corner of a dormitory basement.

These practical problems, however, are not the most f rus t r a t ing ones. The big obstacle is student apathy, apathy that occasionally approaches opposition. About five per cent of the student body is involved with the ANCHOR. The other ninty-five per cent criticize. 1 think part of this could be remedied by an educational campaign explaining our schedule and why typographical errors occur and why many articles are not proofed. It should be realized that a certain percentage of such errors is inevitable. When the way the staff is forced to operate is considered, its a wonder there aren ' t more.

Students should come to realize also tha t it is not necessarily the duty of the editor to put out a paper tha t pleases all the students. This is not only impossible, it is unadvisable. The editors definitely consider popular reaction, but continue to put out a paper with what they feel is a proper balance of material . Whenever anyone approached us this year criticizing any of the regular fea tures of the Anchor, our reply always was, "Wri te something bet ter fo r us and we'll use it instead." This technique seldom brought results. To students who complain that only one type or group of students are on the staff, we would like to point out that , if this is so it is only because these were the students who responded to our calls for help. No student who ever indicated an interest in the Anchor was ever turned away.

Amidst all this pessimism and gloom I see one ray of hope and tha t is the new editor. (Despite how I was misquoted recently, I have the utmost confidence in Nancy.) She is symbolic of the dedicated few who will always be available to carry out a thankless, of ten f rus t r a t ing , yet richly rewarding job. —J. F.

Explanation Offered To Methods Of Grasping Readers Interest

by Richard J . Jaa rsma - :

I could s tar t this article (my final article) by saying what an e^fViching experience IT has been keeping y o u , * my little read- ::

ers, o c c u p i e d while I dashed about t ry ing to do t h i n g s for t h e bet terment of A m e r i c a n Education. As I said, I c o u l d very easily do t h i s . Unfortu-nately, I would be telling a gross lie.

It is not as easy as you may think, wri t ing an article every week, pounding on the keys of my typewriter , wondering what this thing called inspiration really is, and in general wishing tha t I had never learned English.

First there is subject mat ter . What shall I write about, I ask myself. But then it is t ime to go for coffee and one can hardly spoil one's coffee hour and perhaps ruin life for one's f r iends by worrying about a small thing like an Anchor column. So it 's "off we go!" and what a time it turns out to be! With Jim doing his imper-sonation of Dr. — Oops! And the jokes. Why I could tell you — Per-haps I'd better not. But all this doesn't get an article writ ten, and at the height of the merriment , I remember about the column. Oh, yes, the column, I say slyly, peer-ing deep into my coffee-cup, to see if the answer may not lie in the

grounds. Af t e r all, there is no reason to suppose tha t inspiration could not exist in coffee-grounds. Certainly it doesn't come from any other source. But if there is any inspiration in the room it is prob-ably hiding, and won't show itself until I have writ ten the article, and sometimes a very poor article, and then, in the middle of the night it may tiptoe up to my bed and whisper in my ear, "here I am." This is usually followed by a little laugh. One of those nasty laughs that a waiter can give when he sees tha t your tie has fallen into your soup.

Often I spend more time look-ing through magazines for edi-torials which I could rewrite with-out too much work, than I do in the actual wri t ing of an article. Sometimes I even entertain the notion of merely writ ing about my not being able to write about any-thing, but as you can see, the no-tion is to say the least, ra ther im-practical, and the piece would probably never be published.

How does one really wri te? Peo-ple ask me. That they should even approach me, so overwhelms my delicate psyche, tha t I forget myself completely, and will give away two cigaret tes before I catch myself and t ry to answer the question. 'But since all these peo-ple wanted in the first place was a cigarette, they have disappeared by the time I begin to talk. So you'll never know.

Getting back to what I said in

Comparison and Farewell For One Hollow Voice

by James Michmerhuizen

The quality of Calvin College's little semiannual Literary Review is almost invariably high. In the winter issue for this school year there are seven-teen poems and four pieces o f prose by thir-t e e n authors. Our own Opus, compared with this, is smaller, but a glance at the actual con-tents shows we have lately nothing to be ashamed of as f a r as quality is concerned.

James Den Boer's o p e n i n g sketch, titled simply, "Story", is a tour de force tha t deservedly won first place in the Eerdman contest. Writ ten f rom the viewpoint of an intelligent but somewhat unlearned eleven-year-old girl the sustain-ing of an illusion like tha t is no little task in i tself) , it appears much simpler than it is — a good indication of the author 's compet-snce in his field.

Which includes, by the way, poetry and painting as well as prose; Den Boer's other contribu-tions to the issue I have before me are two poems, "Flee as a Bird" and "Somewhere in Seattle". Both of them, surprisingly, are some-what influenced by the techniques of the beat San Francisco poets, though Den Boer is more meticul-ous and precise in his language and craf t smanship than they are. This influence is most obvious in the la t te r poem, a single sentence which has been blown up to a full page by the use of the long series constructions so dear to the hear t of the San Francisco school. "Flee

as a Bird" is delightful. By all rights it should be called bi t ter — it is filled with a most waspish kind of ridicule — yet the final im-pression is one of almost childlike optimism; it is avowedly, unabash-edly, an escape poem. Mr. Den Boer is one of those rare people who is not f r ightened by mut ter-ings of "wish fulfi l lment" or any other of the conjurments of psy-chology.

The Literary Review is also to

be commended on the generally

high level of its religious poetry. There is, as also in Opus, the in-evitable scat ter ing of maudlin meaningless cliches, but the only real fa i lures are "Night" and "Thoughts From a Green Room", by Mary Heerema and Lois Holke-boer, respectively. Miss Heerema's imagery is delicately drawn, but the at tempted s tatement of Divine sovereignty — made by prefixing "Thy" to every object named in the poem — is unbearably crude.

Rather than speak of Miss Hol-keboer's "Thoughts from a Green Room", we shall mention in closing tha t another of her poems, "I Speak to the Wind", is one of the finest of the shorter efforts in the Literary Review. The freshness of its t hough t , ' t he fine cleanness of its language, fit perfectly into the small form tha t Miss Holkeboer has chosen.

This much is certain — tha t the l i terary output of Calvin College is something t ha t we should be-come more famil iar with. More contact between the publications staffs of the two colleges could also be a tremendously invigorating stimulus. Ar t in a small college too easily becomes a r t in a vacuum.

Farewell.

it is, grinding out an article every week, and being attacked fo r it, when the only reason fo r my say-ing some of the things that I do is tha t I write most of my articles in my sleep, when my subconscious takes over. Certainly a man can't be held responsible fo r what his subconscious writes, can he? 1 don't know, I'll have to talk it over with my analyst . (I have an an-alyst who comes once a week and reads to me while I'm in bed. I give him a pat on the back once a month. Money would just spoil him.)

Now that you've gotten an idea of the sort of thing that a writer must go through in order to have people read the things he has printed, you may perhaps be a little more gentle on my works, hackneyed as they may often be. I could s t a r t — oh, I'm sorry, I said that already.

The Inquiring Reporter Speaks

by Jane Tomlinson

Life at Hope College has come

to resemble a shaggy dog joke —

a big build-up with a dead punch

line. There is always a lot of talk

about what should be done and "if

I had the chance, I'd show them",

but when the time comes, nothing

happens.

People r an t and rave about an

Anchor article but very few, if

any, put their thoughts into con-

crete, constructive form and write

a letter to the editor. For the most

par t they just gripe about how

destructive the author of an article

is for having had the courage to

put his views into writing.

I t 's not that people don't have

ideas of their own. They do! I t 's

just that people are afraid to let

others know what they think — for

the record. It isn't expedient to

give your opinion, someone might

not agree with you, you might be

criticized. Since when has timidity

become a Christian virtue?

An intelligent human being

should be able to judge for himself

whether or not there is any t ruth or virtue in his own ideas and ideals. It shouldn't be necessary to compare every piece of life one possesses with the norm set up by society. Maybe society's norm is inferior.

It 's funny, but if we were forced to be just like everyone else we'd fight it with every ounce of s trength we had. But because we are f r ee to choose we immediately become par t of the mass, nonnentities, of our own volition.

The early Christian Church grew st rong through persecutions. May-be that ' s what we need here, a good old-fashioned purge.

I t 's t ime we stopped paying lip service to old hackneyed phrases and developed some real thoughts which more deserve the tribute. I ts time f o r the tur t le to get back in the race. And he can't do tha t unless he sticks his neck out.

Letter to the Editor

H'

Dear Editor: It is with the feeling of deep

humility tha t I take this oppor-tunity of thanking the students of Hope College fo r their unremit t ing and tireless service to . Prestat ie Huis.

Two very important points have been proven by the twenty two students who donated over two thousand hours of their t ime to the children of Pres ta t ie Huis, and I think these points should be shouted f rom the housetops.

The first is the incontrovertible proof that young America — this generation which so often is ac-cused of peculiar reactions — is willing to donate their time freely to people less fortunate than them-selves, without which donated time, these less fortunate people would never accede to the achievements that they are capable of garnering.

The second and probably the more controversial point today is another incontrovertible proof that our college student can and will take his own time to do what he considers a worthwhile s e r v i c e without promise of glory nor none-

ta ry recompense. I have heard many educators say tha t this is an impossibility; tha t modern youth has only one purpose in mind and tha t is to get the largest cash re-turn he can for his services; tha t he will not put out effort without either money or the knowledge tha t he will be given a "break" in credit s tanding by the school or time off f rom an individual class.

Your student body has proven the so-called experts wrong on both counts and, I blush to say, has shown so much more humanity and understanding and genuine Christianity than my own genera-tion as to put us to complete shame.

The Directors of Prestat ie Huis wish tha t we could again have our gracious donors join us at a dinner as a small token of our apprecia-tion, but unfortunately this year our funds are severely limited and we must ask your fu r the r under-standing.

Our deepest thanks to you and our prayers will be in attendance fo r all of you.

Changes in Women's Rules And Regulations Since 1877

by Grayce Forness

Since I am such a firm believer in rules and authori ty, and believe in abiding by all of them, I was asked to reinform you of the rules and regulations fo r women . . . . and all I will probably get for it, is another demerit . . . .

I feel tha t I am extremely well qualified to tell you all about these rules. Why ? Because fo r my good behavior, I have been for tunate enough to receive.8 demerits. Only one more to go, and then I'll be the first girl ever living in Voor-hees to have the honor of going before House Board.

I have the regulation book r ight here. Yes, this is the r ight one. I t 's dated 1877 Gutenberg Press.

The first rule in this handbook is as follows:

1. ADMISSIONS—Pupils hold-ing an 8th grade diploma will be admitted to any D class without ex-amination while applicants who do not have such a certificate will be subject to a s tr ict examination in Bible, Dutch, Bible, Dutch, Dutch, Bible . . . .

2. ACTIVITIES —Danc ing and card playing are prohibited, as are also the use of tobacco and alco-holic beverages, on the college campus!

Card playing is really disap-pointing; the disappointing thing about it is tha t we can't do it.

3. RELIGION EXERCISES — The exercise of each day begins with a prayer in chapel at 8 p.m. ( I t ' s good fo r your health too, fo r one of the best ways to avoid crowds is to go to chapel.)

When a s tudent is really enthusi-astic about chapel, chances are he is the Y's speaker for the follow-ing Tuesday . . . .

BAETA, DYKSTRA . . . (Cont'd f rom pg. 1, Col. 5)

tablished in 1945 by Henry R. Luce and the Henry W. Luce Foun-dation in memory of Dr. Henry Winters Luce, who was graduated f rom Union Theological Seminary in 1895 and served fo r twenty years as a leader of Christian edu-cation in China. Professor Baeta is the tenth incumbent of the Luce Professorship.

Dr. Dykstra, who is Pastor Em-eritus of the Central Reformed Church in Grand Rapids, has been a member of the College Board of Trustees since 1935 and President of the Board since 1939. He grad-uated f rom Hope in 1909. He was graduated f rom New Brunswick Theological Seminary and ordain-ed to the ministry in 1912.

Another rule tha t was set aside was tha t every student was ex-pected to worship regularly with one of the churches in the city or vicinity, unless excused by the president.

You notice tha t this says noth-ing about the at t i re , so I guess it is allright for those certain girls to go to church early in the morn-ing, in their bathing suits con-cealed by a wrap-around coat, with a hat, gloves, heels, and then be able to tear r ight off for the beach a f t e r the service is over.

were requested not to ask or ex-pect their children to come home during term time. It seriously in-terfered with the proper habits of study and none was allowed to be absent from the campus.

When Voorhees was first built, rooms were provided for the Dean of Women and her assistants so tha t there was constant care and supervision. Nothing has really changed, except tha t the Dean of Women now lives in Gil more cot-tage, and we girls have 9 proctors, a house president, a house vice president, a house mother, and other helpful girls watching us in every wing to see that nothing goes wrong . . . !

I guess I've written enough, but then maybe it won't be too bad, because a f t e r all, one should never put off till tomorrow what can be done today; tomorrow is going to be bad enough as it is.

Hope Finishes in Third Spot in Track; Albion Wins Title

Hope College's track team took third in the annual MIAA track and field meet here Saturday as Albion College won its fifth s t ra ight league championship* at Angel I Field.

Albion has now won 20 MIAA track titles and in chalking up its latest win, the Britons won seven first places and set two of the four new MIAA records established in the meet. Three of the marks broken were held by ex-Hope ath-letes. . But Albion had to step aside in

individual performances to Hills-dale f reshman Jim Drake who cracked the 100-yard and 220-yard dash marks set in 1937 by Don (Speed) Martin of Hope.

Drake sailed through the century in 9.8 in the preliminaries to set the new mark although his time in the finals was 9.9., tying the for-mer record. Drake's 21.5 in the 220 erased Mart in 's mark of 21.7. As a climax to the day, Drake ran the first 440-yard leg on the mile relay team in 49.7. The 440-MIAA record is 48.7.

Garth Richey of Albion slashed the 120-yard high hurdle mark set by Jim Hilmert of Hope in 1956. Richey ran the highs in 15 seconds in the prelims for the new mark and 15.1 in the finals. Hilmert 's time was 15.4.

Jim Kreider of Albion set the other new record with a 1.59.7 per-formance in the 880-yard run. This slashed a record set in 1920 by Ray Forman of Kalamazoo of 2.00.3 and duplicated in 1931 by Kurt Sabrosky of Kalamazoo.

Albion accumulated 7 8 p o i n t s while Calvin had 42Va and Hope 31 Vo. Kalamazoo collected 2 7 ^ , Hillsdale 26, Alma, 16, Olivet, 3 and Adrian 0. The Dutch took two first and tied for a third.

John Kleinheksel, who set the MIAA broad jump record last sea-son of 23'6%", won the event this year with a 23'314" leap. The Hol-land junior also finished * third in the 100-yard dash.

Holland Schut, Hope junior, won the league pole vault top spot with a vault of 12'4-V. Teammate Tom Tornga finished in a four-way tie for second in the event.

Bill Vanderbilt, Hope sophomore who spent the spring on the base-ball team, tied for first with MIAA record holder Casey Clark in the high jump. Each leaped 5'll1/i>". Clark set the record of 6'3 Vh" last year. Rich Bakker of Hope tied for third in high jump.

Hope's Ray Ritsema finished second behind Kalamazoo's Rog Kramer in the discus while Dave Altena, Holland junior at Calvin, was third. Kramer threw the mis-sile 136'71/6" while Ritsema's heave was 131'.

Larry Ter Molen of Hope was third in the shot put and Hope's Don Gallo took fifth in the event. Larry Essenmacher of Alma won the event with a 43'9%" put while Ralph Honderd of Calvin was second.

Jim Taup of Albion was the other double winner. He won the mile in 4:25.1 and two-mile in 9:56, however neither mark broke the records in the event set by Taup last year. A senior, Taup won the MIAA two-mile race each of his four years and the mile the past two years.

Other first place winners were: javelin — Bud Hudson, Albion, 172'%"; 440-yard dash — Atis Grinbergs, Kalamazoo, 51; 220-yard low hurdles — Phil Williams, Albion, 24.6 and Mile relay, Albion, 3.30.2.
